Chapter 432: Canonizing the King of Shandong

 Liu Liu was about to fight back when Liu Futong raised his hand to signal him to shut up.

"Let's just express our opinions and don't argue, so as not to let the Tatars outside the city reap the benefits!"

Chen Zhang'er curled his lips and asked Tian Feng: "General Tian, ​​what do you say?"

Tian Feng glanced at Liu Futong and then at Wang Shicheng.

"I have no opinion, you can decide for yourself."

Chen Zhang'er stopped asking others and said, "In that case, please invite the Yuan Ting envoy to come in!"

Not long after, a Yuan Dynasty official came to the hall, shook his sleeves, held his head high, and looked quite arrogant.

Chen Zhang'er sneered: "Come here, let's make a hot pot. This envoy brother has tender skin and tender meat. If you can't tell the truth, just cook him and have a good meal!"

All the generals of the Song Army booed and applauded loudly.

The envoy shook his collar and said calmly: If you want to cook me, you should wait for me to finish my words first, and then cook again, right?"

Wang Shicheng sneered: "If you have something to say, just say it, if you have something to say, just let it go!"

The envoy cupped his hands toward the north and said: "Your Majesty has a decree. As long as your army is willing to surrender, you will break the soil and make the king, and make the leader of your army the King of Shandong. The area east of Yidu will be controlled by the King of Shandong!"

After speaking, he took out an imperial edict from his sleeve.

When the generals saw the imperial edict, their eyes lit up.

Chen Zhang'er asked urgently: "What are the conditions?"

The envoy said: "Your Majesty said that there are only two rebel leaders in the Red Turban Uprising. One of them, Han Shantong, is dead. Your Majesty only wants the head of the other rebel leader!"

After the words fell, everyone looked at Liu Futong.

Liu Futong's expression remained unchanged: "If you need Mr. Liu's head to seek wealth, just take it!"

Tian Feng suddenly glared at the envoy and said sternly: "Emperor Yuan only wants Liu Futong's head, but he doesn't want my and Brother Wang's heads?"

Wang Shicheng smiled solemnly: "Yes, we killed Chahan Timur, can you just forget it?"

The envoy said calmly: "Marshal Enlargement really wants two heads, but His Majesty knows very well that if he wants three heads, there is no need to talk about this matter, so he rejected Marshal Enlargement's request."

Sheng Wenyu said coldly: "I'm afraid this is your plan to divide us! Lead us to civil strife, and then take the opportunity to attack the city!"

The envoy said: "This is the holy message. If you don't believe it, then boil me!"

Wang Shicheng squinted his eyes, his eyes flashed coldly, and he looked towards Tian Feng with emotion.

Tian Feng snorted and said: "Before, our army was invincible, and Emperor Yuan did not offer such good terms. Now that we are surrounded, you are more generous."

When all the generals heard this, they all woke up.

The scarred general scolded: "Yes, his grandmother's, is it a scam?"

The envoy still had some free time, adjusted his sleeves, and said: "It seems that you don't know the pattern of the world, and that's right. You are trapped in the city and have nowhere to know!"

Chen Zhang'er hummed: "What kind of pattern, if you have anything to say, just be happy!"

The envoy said: "The two generals Guan Duo and Pan Cheng of your army have captured Goryeo and Kaijing, while Jiangdu's army has captured Jeju Island. Now the two armies are colluding to threaten Liaodong. Your Majesty is very worried."

Chen Zhang'er said in surprise: "The Central Route Army and the others haven't been destroyed yet?"

All the Song generals cheered and encouraged, and even Liu Futong showed joy.

The envoy said coldly: "Why should I lie to you about this kind of thing? It is precisely because of the critical situation that Your Majesty is willing to take a step back and give you peace!"

Tian Feng suddenly asked him: "I wonder what your name is?"

The envoy said: "I'll lock you up for free!"

Tian Feng's eyes lit up and he said: "It turns out that your Excellency is Bai Suozi, who is as famous as Hu Linchi!" He thought to himself: "It should be true that Kuo Kuo sent this person as an envoy."

Bai Suozhu said calmly: "Have you guys thought about it? Are you going to cook me and continue fighting with our army, or accept the canonization?"

Wang Shicheng winked at Tian Feng.

Tian Feng knew him well and knew that he wanted to take the opportunity to kill Liu Futong, conquer those small forces, and then pretend to surrender to the Yuan Dynasty and take the opportunity to continue to grow!

However, Liu Futong had a high status in the Song army. If he really killed him, the consequences would be unpredictable. Tian Feng could not make up his mind for a while.

At this moment, Chen Zhang'er suddenly said: "This matter is of great importance. Can you let us think about it?"

Baisuo said in a deep voice: "Okay, I'll wait for your results outside." After saying that, he strode out of the lobby.

Liu Liu glared at Chen Zhang'er and said, "General Chen, what do you mean by discussing?"

Chen Zhang'er didn't look at him, only stared at Liu Futong.

"Liu Marshal, you are the founding father of the Song Dynasty. No one here is qualified to deal with you, but we can't keep you anymore!"

Liu Futong was silent for a long time and said: "If the Tatars are really willing to break the earth and seal the king, giving us a chance to grow stronger, there is no harm in Liu offering his head. I'm afraid it's just a trick to expand Timur's profile!"

Wang Shicheng said lukewarmly: "We can tell whether it's a trick or not. We don't need Marshal Liu to teach us how to do it!"

Liu Futong looked sad and said: "In this case, I have nothing to say, I will leave from the west gate tonight!"

Chen Zhang'er said loudly: "Don't worry, Marshal Liu, we will negotiate terms with them and ask them to let you go, and then we will agree to Zhao'an!"

After saying that, he ordered people to invite Bai Suosu in, and offered to let Liu Futong leave as a condition.

Bai Suo was silent for a while and said: "Liu Futong is not among the troops in Zhao'an, so we can explain to His Majesty. We can let Liu Futong leave, but we will still send troops to encircle and suppress him in the future!"

Chen Zhang'er said loudly: "That's it, we can't control what happens in the future!"

After Bai Suozu left Yidu, the Yuan army outside the city retreated thirty miles to show their sincerity.

At night, when Liu Futong left, many small leaders of the rebel army wanted to leave with him, but Liu Futong did not take them with him. He only took 3,000 troops from his headquarters and left through the west gate.

After the army left the west gate, they quietly turned north and then east. The journey was smooth and they did not encounter any problems. The scouts sent to investigate did not see any Yuan troops.

The army headed towards Ninghai Prefecture along a small road, and Sheng Wenyu rushed to catch up with Liu Futong.

"Brother Liu, do the Tatars really want to surrender Chen Zhang'er and the others?"

Liu Futong shook his head and said: "He has a huge appetite for expansion. He wants to wipe out all the Red Turban Army in Yidu in one fell swoop, so he won't attack us to avoid alerting the enemy!"

Sheng Wenyu was silent for a long time and said, "Where are we going now?"

Liu Fu said: "Go to Jeju Island first, and then ask Jiang Dujun to send us to Goryeo to join brothers Guanduo and Pancheng!"

Three thousand troops and horses took all the remote roads along the way. Three days later, the army arrived at Ninghai Prefecture and rested in a forest near the sea.

Liu Futong sent Sheng Wenyu to Jeju Island and asked Jiangdu's army to pick them up. At the same time, he sent scouts to Yidu to find out the news.

Two days later, Liu Liu, who went to Jeju to inquire about the news, came back, his face full of anger and frustration, and said: "Master, the city of Yidu has been destroyed!"

Although Liu Futong had guessed this result, he was still greatly disappointed when he heard it.

"How did it break?" He took a deep breath and asked.

Liu Liu snorted coldly: "After we left, Wang Shicheng and Chen Zhang'er fought over the title of King of Shandong. The Tatars took the opportunity to attack the city and broke through the south gate in one fell swoop."

"Chen Zhang'er, Tian Feng and Wang Shicheng were all killed. Kuo Kuo also took out the hearts of Tian Feng and Wang Shicheng, and set up a high altar in the south of the city to worship Chahan Timur!"

Liu Futong nodded, looking at the sea with a solemn mood.

Early the next morning, while Liu Futong was sleeping, he faintly heard the sound of horse hoofbeats. He hurriedly got up and went to a nearby high slope to check. His heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

I saw a group of Mongolian cavalry running on the road two miles away, approaching in their direction.

He quickly turned his head and looked toward the horizon.

At first glance, my worries turned into joy. It turned out that I could see a group of black spots approaching on the coast. They must be Jiangdu reinforcements!

Judging from the distance, the Mongolian cavalry would definitely be able to come faster. Liu Futong hurriedly issued orders to prepare the army for defense.

After a while, the Mongolian cavalry came close to a hundred feet away, and the leading general Liu Futong could see clearly that it was Bai Suo!

Bai Suozu was a little hesitant at this moment. He also saw the fleet on the coast and didn't know whether to attack or not.

Just when he was hesitating, he heard a loud bang, and the fleet in the distance fired artillery in demonstration.

Bai Suozhao snorted, waved his hand, and his cavalry turned around in an orderly manner and left in the direction they came from.

After a while, the Jiangdu military fleet approached, and the leader of the general, whose face was as black as coal, was none other than Zhao Desheng.

Liu Futong exchanged pleasantries with Zhao Desheng, then boarded Jiangdu Army's ship and headed for Jeju Island.

Along the way, Liu Futong learned from Zhao Desheng that Pan Cheng and Guan Duo still failed to hold Kaijing.

Guan Duo died in battle and opened the capital, while Pan Cheng retreated to Liaoyang.

Liu Futong stayed on the island for a few days and sent people to Shandong to inquire about the news.

The scouts quickly reported that the Shandong Red Scarf Army had been completely wiped out, and Timur was named King of Shandong by Emperor Yuan.

The last glimmer of hope in Liu Futong's heart finally dissipated.

After much thought, he handed over all the troops and horses in his hands to Zhao Desheng, and then boarded the supply ship with Sheng Wenyu and came to Jiangdu Mansion.

After entering the city, Liu Futong immediately went to the Hou Mansion to find Liu Chun. However, the person Liu Chun didn't want to see the most now was him, and he stayed behind closed doors.

Later, the Bian family was entrusted by Zhang Yangquan to invite Liu Futong to a banquet. Liu Futong only made one request: let him meet Liu Chun.

Bian Yuantong agreed immediately and sent someone to tell Zhang Yangquan about it.

Zhang Yangquan then went to Hou Mansion and took Liu Chun with him to Bian Mansion.
