Huang Qiong's words were certainly not his last words of persuasion. For people like Jiang Dutong, once he made up his mind to rebel, it was actually impossible to turn back. What's more, he still has three thousand elites in his hands. This kind of person cannot be persuaded to come back now. Huang Qiong did this just to disturb his mind.
It's just that this guy was overconfident. He couldn't help but sneer at Huang Qiong's words, and his tone was full of disdain: "Your Highness, are you a little too conceited? It's a good thing to be conceited, but being too conceited is a bad thing. . King of England, now it’s not a matter of whether you forgive the general, but whether you can still see the emperor.”
"Although the Xiaoqi camp is known as the most elite army in the world, the three thousand elites in Hulao Pass are not just for free. Besides, King Jing's 50,000 troops outside the pass are rushing towards Hulao Pass day and night. At the latest , will arrive tonight. The five hundred elite cavalry beside the King of England are not looked down upon by Jiang."
"If the King of England insists on going his own way and does not listen to Mr. Jiang's advice, then the general will have no choice but to ignore the brotherhood between King Jing and the prince. King of England, Mr. Jiang advises you to take a look at the situation around you before doing anything. Decide. Anyway, Mr. Jiang now has the patience to wait for the King of England to make a correct decision."
Regarding this arrogant guy, Huang Qiong laughed and said: "The arrogant one is not me, but you, Jiang Dutong. Do you really think that the three thousand soldiers in Hulao Pass who have been receiving imperial salary for a long time will be willing to follow you?" Go against me, you think too highly of yourself. If they are willing to go along with you, why would you secretly kill the generals in your army?"
After that, Huang Qiong waved his hand, and several soldiers from the Xiaoqi Battalion beside him placed the bodies of the three Hulao Pass generals found outside the pass in front of the two armies' formations. It can be said that Huang Qiong's hand hit Jiang Dutong right in the waist. Sure enough, after seeing the bodies of these three generals, except for a few of his confidants, most of the troops in Hulao Pass couldn't help but change their expressions.
They all turned their heads and looked at their chief officer with a confused expression. The crossbowmen on the surrounding rooftops slowly lowered their bowstrings. Seeing the performance of the troops at Hulao Pass, Huang Qiong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that he made the right bet this time.
In fact, when Huang Qiong was talking to Jiang Dutong before, his eyes had been scanning the soldiers surrounding him. After he discovered that he had only a few military attachés, he bet that Jiang Dutong would not be able to completely and truly control the three thousand troops and horses in Hulao Pass. If he really had complete control, at least the scene would not be supported by just a few low-level military attachés.
Compared with military attaches, ordinary soldiers are much easier to control. As for the military attaches who are now missing, I am afraid they have been under his care for a long time. As early as when the three corpses were discovered outside the customs, Wang Dalong's words made Huang Qiong's mind move. Although these three military attaches are not of high rank, they are all people who directly lead troops.
Moreover, these three people are very good at leading troops. All the soldiers they have led are loyal to them, even die-hard. Although these three people were transferred to Hulao Pass not long ago, more than a year was enough for them to establish a certain prestige in the army. The most important thing is that although these three people were transferred not long ago, they were much longer than Jiang Dutong.
If the situation in Hulao Pass is really dire, using these three corpses to disrupt the morale of the army would be a good idea. Sure enough, after the three corpses were carried out, the face of Jiang Dutong, who had been complacent just now, couldn't help but change slightly. Although his expression changed slightly, Huang Qiong still captured this moment accurately.
After noticing the change in the man's face, Huang Qiong knew that his scheming plan had paid off. He smiled faintly and said, "Don't Jiang Dutong want to explain the cause of death of these three people? Is it because he doesn't dare or because he doesn't want to let your soldiers Do you know why the three military attachés under your command died outside the customs inexplicably when the war was about to begin?"
"What a joke, why did they die outside the pass, and how did Jiang know? Yesterday they were ordered to go inside the pass to check the terrain, but they didn't return all night. Jiang was preparing to pursue them for leaving their posts without permission, and how did they know they died? ? Judging from what the King of England said today, he wanted to frame someone in Chiang Kai-shek to kill them? "
"If it was Jiang who did it, why didn't you hide the body so that you could find it so easily? Who knows if they were you, failed to instigate them against Jiang, or killed them intentionally to frame Jiang?" Seeing many people around him, his expression changed after seeing the three corpses. Jiang Xin, who knew the prestige of these three people in the army, quickly excused himself in disguise.
After hearing this guy's explanation, Huang Qiong couldn't help but clapped his hands and said: "Master Jiang really has a sharp tongue, and it is not reasonable to insist on it. I don't know these lieutenant generals, nor do I know them." What kind of person he is, how can he instigate rebellion? What's more, I have just arrived at Hulao Pass. Even if I want to frame Lord Chiang, I still have to have that skill."
"However, although I don't know clearly what kind of person these three military attaches are, I think the soldiers in the Hulao Pass Army know it well, and Lord Jiang also knows it. It should be that these three military attaches are unwilling to follow Lord Chiang and rebel. Mr. Jiang was worried that if they stayed, they would hinder your rebellion, so he killed them and silenced them."
"I don't believe it. These three military attaches all have official positions. When did they leave the quarantine and who did they follow? None of the three thousand soldiers in Hulao Pass can be seen. Master Jiang thinks that Can killing people and silencing them silence the mouths of the three thousand soldiers in Hulao Gate? Sir Jiang, not to mention your rebellious behavior, just based on your current behavior, you really deserve to die."
"You raised troops to join the rebellion for your own benefit, and you implicated the three thousand soldiers of our Daqi army in Hulao Pass. You deserve to be rebels with you. You deserve to die for innocently killing our loyal and brave generals of Daqi. As an official of Daqi, facing the country's In times of crisis, not only can you not live up to the emperor's salary and loyalty to the emperor, but you have taken refuge in the rebels and caused misery to all living beings, you deserve to die."
"You raised troops to join the rebellion without caring about these three thousand soldiers. Even if you die in battle, you will not get any compensation from the court. Even after your death, you will be charged with rebellion, and your family members will be implicated. You are even more innocent. Forgivable. Jiang Dutong, I originally thought about your contribution to our great Qi, and wanted to persuade you to abandon evil and do good. But now, no matter how I look at it, I can't find a reason to forgive you. "
"The king is still saying the same thing. Who did these people leave the prison with and where did they go? There are three thousand elites in the prison. It is impossible that not one of them has seen it. If that is really the case, I think These three thousand soldiers are not elite at all, they are even worse than a bunch of rubbish. Three living people disappeared from under my nose, and no one saw them."
Faced with Huang Qiong spitting out four damn words in succession, Jiang Dutong sneered: "I have heard for a long time that the King of England was very sharp with his tongue. He once scolded many clan members in the Wende Palace and made them speechless. Today When I saw him, he really lived up to his name. If the King of England insists on blaming Jiang for this matter, Jiang will have nothing to do, right?"
"As for whether Jiang should die, it's not up to you, a yellow-haired boy, to convict Jiang. Our prince has said that if we can't invite the living King of England, then the dead one is not necessary. Okay. King of England, now that we have broken up with each other, there is no need for Jiang to be merciful. Someone, shoot an arrow at me."
No matter how hoarse Jiang Dutong shouted, none of the archers around him responded. On the contrary, a small but firm voice came from the Hulao Pass Army: "Yes, yesterday evening, I saw three adults and the captain of Mr. Chiang's personal soldiers, as well as several of Mr. Chiang's relatives. The soldiers marched out of Guancheng together."
"At that time, the captain of Lord Chiang's personal soldiers said he was going to check the terrain. I was still a little puzzled. Why did he not go there in broad daylight to check the terrain? He had to go in the evening. Besides, the Zhengzhou rebels came from the east, how did they get to Xiguan We went out to see the terrain. Moreover, it has been more than a year since the three adults were transferred to Hulao Pass, and I accompanied them to see the terrain nearby several times."
"We are already familiar with each other. We have to look at the terrain there. Also, when the adults came out of seclusion, I was replaced by Mr. Jiang's personal soldiers before it was time to change the guard. I have never seen the three adults again. But I didn't expect these adults?" At this point, the voice turned into an uncontrollable cry.
As the cry spread, other garrison soldiers nearby also began to cry. Hearing these cries, Huang Qiong felt reassured. Wang Dalong was indeed right. These three people had high prestige among the garrison in Guanzhong. Now that the cause of death of these three people is unknown, the garrison in the pass is not monolithic in the first place. The morale of the military has fluctuated, and now he basically has a good chance of winning.
Huang Qiong was secretly happy, but Jiang Dutong over there was disturbed by the bursts of crying. It's just that this guy is a veteran after all. Although he is already a little confused in his heart, he still pretends to be calm on the surface: "Why are you crying? I will naturally give you an explanation for their death when the time comes. When King Jing ascends the throne, investigate This matter is just a matter of imperial edict."
Hearing that this guy was obviously a little confused, Huang Qiong sneered: "If you want to hide something, you must be talking about the current Jiang Dutong. It's a pity that no matter how strong your words are, you can't cover up the crimes you have committed. Already Someone saw these three officials coming out of seclusion together with your soldier captain, what other explanation do you have?"
"You think your work is perfect, but in fact it is full of loopholes. I ask you, where are the colleagues in Hulao Pass? Where are the other military attachés? These people are probably unwilling to rebel with you, and they have also suffered the same fate. It must be your poisonous hand. Don’t tell me, the 3,000 troops stationed at Hulao Pass only have a few captains who can’t lead more than a hundred people.”
"If you do evil by God, you can be forgiven, but if you do it yourself, you will not live. Since you are determined to rebel, even if I am now the envoy to Zhengzhou and hold a letter of pardon granted by the emperor, I will not forgive you. Otherwise, I will not forgive you." How should the king face these three generals who died in vain? How should he face the people inside and outside Hulao Pass?"
When Huang Qiong said these words, he seemed to be extremely angry while shouting curses. He raised the riding crop in his hand and pointed it at Jiang Dutong in front of him. Captain Zhao, who received his signal, quickly drew out his bow with lightning speed. When he drew out the bow, the three sharp arrows already in his hand were also placed on the bowstring.
Just as Huang Qiong finished speaking, the riding whip in his hand was completely pointed at Jiang Xin. He didn't even take aim. With the sound of the bowstring, three sharp arrows went straight to Jiang Xin's head and chest respectively. After shooting all three arrows in his hand, Captain Zhao did not stop. A flurry of arrows followed the trend, and he didn't stop until all the arrows in his quiver were shot out.
