Jinzhong, Fengwu Army Camp ten miles outside the city
With a serious expression, Liang Hao held a staff and slowly walked into the Chinese camp of the Fengwu Army, where Lin Huaiwu, the general of the Fengwu Army in the Jinzhong Battle, was waiting for his arrival... ·········
"Are you Shangguan Hongyuan's brother-in-law?" Lin Huaiwu glanced at Liang Hao and asked directly:
Regarding Lin Huaiwu calling himself Shangguan Hongyuan's brother-in-law instead of Luo'an envoy, Liang Hao frowned slightly and said without being humble or overbearing:
"I am Liang Hao, the special envoy of Shangguan Chief Assistant!"
"I heard that you didn't send aid to Zhao Jianwen? Why did you come to us?" Lin Huaiwu asked jokingly:
Liang Hao's heart suddenly sank when he heard Lin Huaiwu's question. His visit to Jinzhong was a secret visit. Only a few senior officials from both sides knew the purpose of the visit, but now Lin Huaiwu openly stated it. This is enough to show that in Yanzhong, There is already a ghost inside the army!
Liang Hao did not pick a fight with Lin Huaiwu, but instead organized his speech and said:
"Your Lord Ye Mingsheng went against the grain and sneaked into the pass to kill our famous general Zhao Fuqu, which caused the lives of the people of Youyan to be devastated and the people's resentment boiling over. Now he wants to eradicate the roots and spread the flames of war to Yunbin. Don't you know that doing this is against the harmony of heaven and earth? Seriously? Not afraid of the Five Thunders of Heaven’s Punishment…”
Liang Hao wanted to continue talking, but Lin Huaiwu suddenly changed his expression, slammed the table and shouted:
"Liang Hao, you are so brave, you dare to speak so brazenly in this general's tent!"
"Come here! Pull him down and show his head to the public!"
As soon as Lin Huaiwu said these words, Liang Hao was dumbfounded. As the envoy of Shangguan Hongyuan, he was used to occupying the moral high ground and then engaging in verbal battles with the other party. Unexpectedly, now that a scholar meets a soldier, he can say no with reason. Qing, Lin Huaiwu didn't play according to the routine at all. He was about to be pulled out and chopped before he finished his oral pleasure!
Just when Liang Hao was confused, two guards walked into the tent and wanted to pull him out and chop him into pieces. Seeing this, Liang Hao subconsciously wanted to pull Shangguan Hongyuan out as a shield. Threaten Lin Huaiwu and rely on the big tree of Shangguan Hongyuan. This move has always been unfavorable in his past diplomatic career. No one dares to attack him!
But just when he was about to threaten, he felt the undisguised murderous intent in Lin Huaiwu's eyes. At this moment, Liang Hao realized that this Fengwu Army general, who had always been regarded as a direct descendant of Ye Mingsheng, was not here. Scaring him, but actually preparing to kill him, this also prompted Liang Hao to change his attention. Just a second before he was about to be pulled out of the camp by two guards, Liang Hao finally made up his mind and begged for mercy:
"General Lin, I was confused just now. I hope you will ignore the faults of villains..."
Seeing Liang Hao begging for mercy, the soldier who was holding Liang Hao stopped and looked at Lin Huaiwu. Lin Huaiwu did not reply immediately, but looked at Liang Hao with a scrutinizing gaze, feeling Lin Huaiwu's sharp gaze. , Liang Hao silently thought in his heart that a good man will not suffer the loss in front of him, while showing a flattering smile.
Seeing that Liang Hao was willing to give in, Lin Huaiwu waved his hand and signaled the guards to let go of Liang Hao. Although he didn't mind killing Liang Hao, the reputation of killing the envoy was not good, and he would also serve him in the future. Wu Jun's diplomatic actions caused a certain amount of trouble, so Liang Hao had a long memory and gave in. That was naturally the best result.
Although the two guards released Liang Hao under Lin Huaiwu's order, they did not exit the camp, but stayed in the camp. Seeing this, Liang Hao also understood that this was Lin Huaiwu's threat to him. If he wanted to continue If he talks so boldly, these people will probably take him out immediately and show his head to the public!
Looking at Liang Hao, Lin Huaiwu asked coldly:
"Why don't you stay in Jinzhong City and wait for us to find you out? What are we doing here?"
Facing Lin Huaiwu's question, Liang Hao hesitated and said:
"The chief minister of Shangguan is very concerned about the situation in Jinzhong. For the sake of the safety of the people, the Fengwu Army and the Yan Army should stop the war and conduct peace negotiations. Only in this way is it beneficial to both parties. Peace is what everyone wants to see. What happened..."
Listening to these pitiful words from Liang Hao's mouth, Lin Huaiwu immediately sneered and said sarcastically:
"Since Shangguan Hongyuan is so considerate of the people? Why didn't he stop his offensive in Sichuan and Shu? As far as I know, the Luoan Forbidden Army left no grass behind wherever they went in Sichuan and Shu. The people were wailing all over the fields and it was miserable. Why did he Shangguan at that time? Hongyuan, don’t you think about the safety of the people?”
Facing Lin Huaiwu's ridicule, Liang Hao was speechless and could only barely explain:
"Those people in Sichuan and Sichuan are unforgivably rebellious! They have ulterior motives and coerced Your Majesty into trying to frame Zhongliang and make themselves king. As the chief minister of the Zhou Dynasty, Lord Shangguan should restore the Zhou Dynasty to a pure king and restore peace to the world!"
Seeing that Liang Hao was still trying to defend himself, Lin Huaiwu waved his hands disdainfully and said firmly;
"Stop wasting your words here! Our Fengwu Army is going to decide Jinzhong City, even if Shangguan Hongyuan comes in person!"
·······················
·······················
Just when Lin Huaiwu met Liang Hao, the secret agents of the Coordination Office were also active in Jinzhong City.
In a private house in Jinzhong City, Li Musheng from the Coordination Office of Hundred Households was looking in front of him, and a strong middle-aged man said:
"Commander Zhao, what do you think? Is this your last chance?"
Under Li Musheng's gaze, the middle-aged man lowered his head and remained silent. Seeing this, Li Musheng continued to say:
"Commander Zhao, I don't need to tell you. You should understand that your Yan army was unable to defend Youyan when it was in its prime. Now you only have this few defeated troops left. If you still want to defend Jinzhong City, don't you know that a mantis's arm is like a chariot or a fly shaking a tree?"
Listening to Li Musheng talking about this, Zhao Teng's eyes flashed with a look of humiliation. He clenched his fists but didn't know how to refute Li Musheng.
When Li Musheng saw this, his voice changed and he said:
"Commander Zhao, don't blame me for speaking harshly. I'm doing this for your own good! Your surname is Zhao. If you don't do something now, what will be waiting for you and your family when our armed forces enter the city? You should also Isn’t it clearer?”
"Who doesn't know Zhao Jianwen's plan? He just wants Luo'an to send troops to help him. Not to mention that the Yan army is now reduced to relying on Shangguan Hongyuan, a thief, to save its life. Who in the world doesn't know now? Shangguan Hongyuan is obsessed with wiping out the southern patrol court in Sichuan and Sichuan, where can he find the men and horses to rescue you?"
"Only Zhao Jian'an would seek medical treatment indiscriminately when he is ill, imagining that Shangguan Hongyuan will send troops to rescue you. Now Jinzhong is an isolated city without any support. It is only a matter of time before the city is destroyed and people die... ············”
At this point, Li Musheng saw that Zhao Teng was still indifferent, so he had to resort to the last resort, sighed and said:
"Since you, Commander Zhao, have made up your mind to be loyal to the Zhao family, and I admire your loyalty, I won't bother you more, and I'll find another wise person!"
After saying that, Li Musheng bowed his hands to Zhao Teng and pretended to say goodbye. Seeing that Li Musheng was about to leave so simply and said he would find someone else, Zhao Teng suddenly became entangled in his heart. , Now he is very painful in his heart. As a member of the Zhao clan, facing the temptation of the Coordination Office, he should have arrested him and handed it over to Zhao Jianan without any explanation.
But Zhao Teng did not do this because he knew that the Yan Army ship was on the verge of collapse. Even if he handed over Li Musheng, he could not change the situation. Instead, when Jinzhong City was broken, he and he His family will inevitably suffer retaliation from the Coordination Office!
Gu Shen
But betraying the Yan army and surrendering to the Fengwu army really made Zhao Teng extremely painful. To a large extent, he is where he is today because his surname is Zhao and he is a member of the Zhao clan. He has been very proud of this throughout his life. I feel so proud, but surrendering to the military at this moment is tantamount to betraying my own bloodline, betraying my own pride and glory!
But if they don't do this, when the city of Yijing is destroyed, what awaits them will be the confiscation of their families and the extermination of their clans, and the so-called pride and glory will turn into dust... ·
Should I choose to live a humble life or die gloriously?
Although the decision was very painful, Zhao Teng already had the answer in his heart. After all, it is better to live than to die!
Even if he doesn't choose to betray, someone else will betray him!
Sighing secretly in his heart, Zhao Teng turned to look at Li Musheng who was about to leave and asked:
"Li Baihu, please stay!"
Seeing Zhao Teng calling him out, Li Musheng felt happy and knew that something was going on, but he still pretended to be very calm and said:
"Commander Zhao, do you have anything else to do?"
Zhao Teng was silent for a moment, then spoke again:
"Li Baihu, can you tell the Coordination Office who else you plan to incite to rebel?"
Li Musheng smiled and asked:
"Commander Zhao, do you think I will tell you this?"
Zhao Teng shook his head and said:
"Since Li Baihu's last attack on Yijing City, the eldest son has been extra vigilant about the rebellion of the guards. This time, all the people stationed at the city gate are surnamed Zhao, and double posts have been arranged. I am responsible for the north gate. In addition to me, there is also a commander named Zhao Fude, who was promoted by the eldest son and is very loyal to him, and most of the defenders at the north gate are his people!"
Li Musheng frowned slightly after listening to Zhao Teng's words. He was just deceiving Zhao Teng. In order to prevent the news from leaking, they have not yet discussed with the generals of the Yan Army other than Zhao Teng. Although Zhao Teng's attitude has softened, but from his perspective Judging from the narration, it seems that he was the only one to instigate rebellion, and it did not seem to have the expected effect...
"How is the defense situation in the city now?" Li Musheng pondered for a moment and asked:
Zhao Teng hesitated for a moment, but still said honestly:
"There are currently about 8,000 warriors in the city, and about 7,000 of them are stationed around the city gate to prevent a sudden attack by the Fengwu Army!"
Li Musheng's eyes flashed when he heard Zhao Teng's story. He seemed to realize something and asked Zhao Teng:
"How many soldiers and horses are there in Zhao Jianan's official residence?"
Zhao Teng heard this and said subconsciously:
"Yesterday, the south gate was the focus of the Fengwu Army's attack. The casualties were very heavy. The eldest son also transferred most of the guards from the official residence to the south gate. Now there are only about a hundred guards left in the official residence!"
After saying this, Zhao Teng came to his senses, a flash of panic flashed in his eyes, and asked Li Musheng:
"What do you want to do?"
Facing Zhao Teng's gaze, Li Musheng asked with a meaningful smile:
"What do you think, Commander Zhao?"
"This is absolutely not possible!" Zhao Teng said very firmly:
Although he had to betray Yan Jun in order to survive, he still had a conscience in his heart!
Li Musheng heard this and said calmly:
"Commander Zhao, do you still have a choice now? The information you revealed to me is enough for Zhao Jianan to kill your whole family... ·”
At night, the Governor's Mansion in Jinzhong.
Zhao Jianan and Huang Wenze sat opposite each other in the study. Both fell into silence. After a while, Zhao Jianan, who was extremely anxious, could not resist the torment in his heart. He broke the silence first and said to Huang Wenze:
"Mr. Huang and Liang Hao have not come back yet. What should we do next?"
Although he distrusted Huang Wenze, it was only when the Fengwu Army came to kill him that Zhao Jianan realized the importance of this veteran of the Yan Army. He and the cronies he promoted were at a loss when faced with the sudden attack by the Fengwu Army. At this time, Huang Wenze stood up and used his reputation within the Yan army to help Zhao Jianan stabilize the morale of the army and withstand Lin Huaiwu's first wave of fierce attacks!
When General Liang Hao of the Coordination Office made a secret visit and Zhao Jianan was about to change his banner and join the Luo'an court, it was revealed in Jinzhong City, intending to destroy the morale of the Yan army. Huang Wenze also stepped forward to block Jin Zhengrui and other Yan army veterans. Questioning Zhao Jianan.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Yan Army can still defend Jinzhong City and was not defeated by the Fengwu Army in the first round of fierce attacks. Huang Wenze takes the biggest credit, which also makes Zhao Jianan have to restrain his hatred for Huang Wenze. Disgusted, re-employ this veteran who has devoted his life to the Yan army!
Feeling Zhao Jianan's inner panic, Huang Wenze sighed secretly, and then said slowly:
"The only way now is to send representatives to negotiate peace with Fengwu Army!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Jianan stood up and said firmly:
"Peace talks with Fengwu Army?"
"This is absolutely not possible! They took away our Youyan and killed my father. They hate me and the Fengwu Army so deeply that they are incompatible with each other. How can I make peace with them!"
Seeing Zhao Jianan's determined look, Huang Wenze felt somewhat comforted and immediately explained;
"It's not really about peace talks with the Fengwu Army, but it's just pretending to be a snake with them and delaying the time..."
