Yunze, Yue Pengju, and Gao Chong looked at Song Youwei with slightly stunned expressions, and then at the middle-aged man who came in, with surprise in their eyes.
"Husband, this is my father's former colleague. He came from Tokyo..." Song Youwei said to Yunze, with an inexplicable look in her eyes.
Yunze knew that the colleague of his father he was talking about was actually a person from the Reconnaissance Department. It seems that the other party has brought information about Tokyo City.
When this person saw Yun Ze, he quickly raised his hands and saluted. He opened his mouth in a somewhat anxious voice and said, "General Yun, Emperor Jing Song Ji wants to trick you into the capital. When you are not prepared, he will capture you and send you to Jin." Army, in exchange for the Jin Army's withdrawal. Left Prime Minister Li Zheng and other ministers proposed that the emperor negotiate a peace with the Jin Army, and offer gold and silver, as well as your head, in exchange for the Jin Army's retreat!"
"The messenger will arrive soon. General, please make plans in advance and not enter Beijing, otherwise..."
The man didn't say what he said later, but the worry in his eyes already showed that if Yun Ze really entered Tokyo City, he would definitely be dead.
Hearing this, a trace of anger flashed in Yunze's eyes. Song Ji was really speechless to him. And Li Zheng, he really should have found a chance to kill this old boy as well.
With such treacherous and rebellious ministers, how could the Jing Dynasty fare well?
"Shameless person, incompetent and foolish king... We have forced the Jin army to retreat soon. How could he carry out such a foolish move? In this case, our previous efforts will be in vain! It's hateful! Li just……"
Hearing this, Gao Chong stood up angrily, gritting his teeth and itching with hatred, his eyes filled with deep anger. If Li Zheng was here, Gao Chong would definitely be the first to kill him with a knife.
Although Yue Pengju's eyes were full of anger, they were also full of complexity. Although he might be secretly cursing Song Ji for being a foolish king, he was afraid that he would not say it out loud.
"Brother, why don't you leave now... You can't disobey your order, but if your order cannot be delivered to you, it doesn't count as disobeying the military order!" Yue Pengju stood up and said to Yunze.
As soon as he said these words, Yunze glanced at him helplessly, secretly sighing at this person's foolish loyalty. Such an emperor has no intention of resisting and actually cares about the laws that cannot be violated. Why should he obey such an order?
"Second brother... sometimes loyalty is a good virtue, but if it is foolish loyalty... then it is not a noble character, it is stupidity... I have to entrust my passion and ambition to someone worthy of my trust."
"Otherwise, a dim-witted person like Song Ji will only end up frustrated, or even die, and will still bear infamy after death."
"You... think about it carefully... don't be a foolish and loyal person... Some people are worth entrusting to, and some people will only be mistrusted. My original intention will not change, but who I give my original intention to depends on myself!"
Yunze patted Yue Pengju's shoulder, stood up and walked out. Yue Pengju behind him fell into deep thought after hearing the words. He knew that Yunze was trying to persuade him.
There was also confusion in his heart. His mother had always taught him to be loyal to the emperor and patriotism, and what he had always been thinking about was loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. And isn’t loyalty to the monarch just about being loyal to the monarch?
Can the monarch question it at will? If the monarch does something wrong, can he betray him at will? How can I find support for my belief in loyalty to the emperor and patriotism? At this moment, Yue Pengju felt that all the beliefs he had always insisted on collapsed in an instant.
"Second brother...Eldest brother is right. If you are loyal to that foolish king, then you are foolishly loyal. Have you seen what kind of life the people in this world are living! Have you seen the humiliation that I, Jingchao, have suffered! "
"This time we were obviously expected to win and drove the Jin people out, but what happened? What did the foolish king do? He even begged for mercy from the Jin people. In order to please the Jin people, he actually wanted to give his eldest brother who had great achievements to the Jin people. Is this your loyal king?"
"If one day you become a threat to the Jin people, and in order to get rid of you, the Jin people only need to threaten the emperor, your life will also be lost. Such a monarch, no matter how many capable and loyal ministers are given to him, The final result is also the destruction of the country, and the people will suffer in the end..."
"Think about it, brother... Loyalty to the king and patriotism also depends on what kind of king you are loyal to and what kind of country you love!"
Gao Chong looked at the confused Yue Pengju with deep meaning. His foolish loyalty to his brother sometimes gave him a headache. Just take this opportunity to wake him up.
Yue Pengju stood there blankly, still full of confusion, while everyone else left the camp. Yunze mounted his war horse and rushed towards the main camp where the hundreds of thousands of troops were located.
Among the people behind him, except for the person from the reconnaissance department, everyone else also rushed over.
In the camp, although Yue Pengju had not yet found his answer from his confusion, he saw everyone leaving and quickly followed them out. Looking at Yunze and others leaving, he quickly mounted his horse and chased after them.
"Brother, wait for me..."
Soon, everyone arrived at the main camp of hundreds of thousands of troops, and Yunze headed towards one of the largest camps.
Among the hundreds of thousands of troops, that camp was regarded as a gathering place for the generals of the coalition forces. At this time, more than a dozen generals in the camp were gathered here.
The leaders were the three generals who had not trusted Yunze before. At this time, they looked respectfully at the three civilian officials in third-grade official uniforms in front of them.
"My three lords, just wait a moment. I will go and invite General Yun..." The leading general said to the three civilian officials.
However, as soon as he said these words, Yunze's voice came from outside the tent.
"No need...I'll do it myself..." Following Yunze's voice, he had already entered the camp with the two women and Gao Chong, with Yue Pengju following behind.
Seeing Yunze, the faces of the three civil servants showed a look of arrogance and contempt. There was also a trace of disdain and ridicule hanging on the corner of his mouth.
The attitude of the three people immediately made all the generals in the camp feel unhappy. They now regarded Yunze as a god, how could they tolerate others not taking Yunze into their eyes like this.
If it weren't for the fact that these three people were sent by the court, they would have beaten them severely.
"Yunze, we meet again..." The leading official looked at Yunze and said jokingly. He actually called Yunze by his first name. This move made everyone around him even more angry.
However, before anyone could say anything, this person took out an imperial edict and unfolded it: "Yunze receives the edict..."
Speaking of this, he looked at Yunze, as if he wanted Yunze to kneel down. When the people around heard the two words of the imperial edict, most of them knelt down. Except for Yun Ze, the two women, and Gao Chong, almost everyone kneeled down.
Even Yue Pengju was about to kneel down, but halfway through, he didn't know what he thought of, but he stood up again and stood behind Yunze.
Anger surged on the face of the official who saw this, and he opened his mouth and shouted at Yunze: "Yunze, you are so brave, you dare to defy the imperial edict, are you looking for death!"
As his voice sounded, anxiety suddenly surged on the faces of the kneeling generals, and several of them even winked at Yunze.
"Contempt the imperial edict! Does Song Ji think that I am treating him as a monarch when I come to relieve the siege of Tokyo? I, Yunze, just don't want the people to suffer. I just want to drive away the Jin people..."
Yunze looked at the official across from him coldly, and said slightly: "He still wants to give me to the Jinren. Is his idea wrong..."
As soon as Yunze said these words, all the generals raised their heads, and anger suddenly surged in their eyes. These people knew that Yunze was almost given to the Jin Dynasty by Song Ji.
In this regard, they were also a little dissatisfied with Song Ji. With such a talented person, Song Ji actually wanted to give him to the Jinren. Who wouldn't be angry?
Now listening to Yunze's words, everyone felt that the messenger was a little weird, and it was a little weird to find Yunze.
"You... are talking nonsense... The Holy One just wants to call you into the city and give you a title. How could he want to give you to the Jinren..." The official quibbled quickly,
But he was a little panicked in his heart. He couldn't believe how Yunze knew about this. If Yunze knew about this, how could he trick Yunze into the city.
"Will you find out just by asking..." Yunze said coldly. He took a step forward and was about to capture the official. Gao Chong was one step ahead of him, and stepped forward to restrain the opponent instantly.
The saber in his hand was immediately placed on the opponent's neck. With fierce eyes, he said coldly: "To be honest, you still have a way to live. Otherwise, Gao will not mind cutting off his head."
"You...you are so bold that you dare to threaten the court official. Don't you want to live?" Seeing this, the man was so frightened that he threatened Gao Chong repeatedly.
"Haha... My high favor doesn't care what court official you are. The worst is, I will no longer be a general, and I will rebel against your stupid emperor with my elder brother. If you don't believe it, you don't have to say anything..."
Gao Chong said coldly. Following his words, the surrounding generals looked anxious and nervous for a moment, but no one spoke up to plead for the official.
They also wanted to know if Song Ji really wanted to harm Yunze. If so, they even wanted to kill the three messengers quietly.
"You..." When the official heard this, his face turned pale with fright, and his body was trembling. Seeing that no one of the generals around him interceded for him, he was so frightened that he almost peed.
Gao Chong then looked at the remaining two people. When they met Gao Chong's cold gaze, they fell to their knees in fear.
"General, spare your life. This is all what Mr. Li meant. He wants us to trick General Yun into the city and then capture him and give it to the Jin people. We are just messengers and we are also following orders..."
"Yes, General, we have no choice but to do so. Please don't kill us..."
As the two men spoke, a surge of rage suddenly surged on the faces of the surrounding generals. They all stood up, their gazes almost eating the three officials in front of them alive.
My heart was full of anger and disappointment towards Song Ji, as well as hatred towards Li Zheng. These people are really shameless and despicable. If they hadn't fought hard outside the city, Tokyo City would have been destroyed long ago.
But as for those people in the city, they actually did such a thing to the hero who saved Tokyo City. If it weren't for Yunze, how could they have won a big victory this time, and how could they have forced the Jin army to consider retreating.
But all this was ruined by Li Zheng and other ignorant officials and emperors in the city. They actually negotiated such a cooperation with the Jin people, which is simply self-destructive.
If the Jin people really agree to kill Yunze, I'm afraid that the Jin people will never retreat obediently, and may even continue to attack Tokyo City. By then, how will they retreat without Yunze's help.
"You stupid and incompetent person, Li Zheng, you are harming the foundation of my Dajing... This general wants to kill you..." The leading general shouted loudly, holding a long knife in his hand, almost cutting the person in front of him. The messenger was beheaded.
Seeing this, Yunze drew out the saber in his hand and killed the two messengers in an instant. Gao Chong also stabbed the last messenger through the heart.
Looking at the three corpses on the ground, they opened their eyes in horror, their eyes filled with disbelief. They seemed to have never expected that Yunze would actually kill them.
When the surrounding generals saw this scene, their eyes were full of joy, but their eyes were full of worry. Killing a messenger is still the emperor's messenger. This is a huge crime!
Yunze looked at the generals and said: "Everyone, Yun doesn't want to implicate you all, so Yunze will take full responsibility for this matter. You just come here as messengers..."
Speaking of this, Yunze glanced at Gao Chong and Yue Pengju. He picked up a corpse on the ground, nodded to Gao Chong, turned around and walked out.
Gao Chong picked up the two corpses and followed them outside. Yue Pengju gritted his teeth when he saw this scene, stepped forward to take one of the corpses from Gao Chong, and followed Yunze outside.
Yunze delivered the body to the soldiers who came with the messenger. He said coldly: "Take the body back and tell Song Ji... I killed the man. I lifted the siege of Tokyo for the sake of the people of the world, not for the sake of the people of the world." he."
"Tell him again that he bullied me like this... next time we meet, don't blame me for being ruthless. Get out of here!"
A group of messenger followers saw the corpse on the ground and looked at Yunze who had a sinister face. They were trembling with fear. They lifted the corpse, mounted their horses and ran back. They were afraid that they would be killed by Yunze if they ran too late. Kill on the spot.
Yunze looked at the leaving soldiers and sighed, feeling some unspeakable sadness and anger in his heart. Song Ji, it seems that he still shouldn't have hope for this mediocre guy.
Such a great situation has become a little confusing because of this guy and Li Zheng's stupid move. The Jin army may not be able to retreat so easily this time.
They were probably waiting for Song Ji to deliver his head, or they were wondering if Yunze would leave in anger because of this. As long as there is no interference from him, the Jin army still has great hope of capturing Tokyo City.
"Youwei, you said that the grain god Xiyi of the Jin Army brought enough grain and grass, but do you know the specific location of the grain and grass now!" He looked at his wife Song Youwei beside him and said.
Information came from the Reconnaissance Department. Not long ago, Wan Yanxi, the god of grain in the Jin Kingdom, collected enough food and grass to prepare for a protracted war.
Although Yunze was very angry at Song Ji's faint move, he still had to do what he was supposed to do to help, and this time the Jin army had to be beaten back. The Jin army cannot be allowed to capture Tokyo.
After all, he needs time now. Once the Jin Army captures Tokyo, Danyang City and Yuncheng behind him will be in danger.
