Seeing that Kong Yinjing still refused to give up, Chen Xunping immediately said, "What if I say this is what my lord means?"
"No, it's impossible." Kong Yinjing smiled, shook his head, and said immediately, "General, it's better not to blame everything on General Liu. General Liu will never make such a foolish choice."
After hearing this, Chen Xunping said, "It's up to you whether you believe it or not, but I've said everything I need to say, and there's nothing more to say. Someone, please send Mr. Kong back."
Seeing that the other party still had this condescending attitude, Chen Xunping was too lazy to talk nonsense.
As soon as the tiger-character banner army arrived in Qufu, these Kong people, including Yan Shenggong, understood whether what he said was true or false.
The guard on the side stepped forward, came to Kong Yinjing's side, and said: "Mr. Kong, please!"
"You will regret your arrogance." Kong Yinjing saw that Chen Xunping was determined not to accept Kong's kindness and insisted on taking Yanzhou Fucheng. Knowing that there was no use staying here, he turned and went out.
When he left, he was even thinking that when he returned, he would definitely ask Duke Yan to come forward and write a letter to Liu Heng personally, asking Liu Heng to severely punish these ignorant people under his command.
However, just when Kong Yinjing was about to reach the door, Qin Rong said from behind: "Mr. Kong went back and told Yan Shenggong that the tiger-character banner army will go to Qufu soon. I hope that Yan Shenggong and Kong Can cooperate with the actions of my army."
These words reached Kong Yinjing's ears, but Kong Yinjing did not stop, raised his legs, crossed the threshold and left the room.
"I'm afraid your words are of no use at all. How can Duke Yansheng of the Kong family cooperate with us honestly?" Chen Xunping said to Qin Rong with a smile.
Many of the local gentry wherever the Tiger-Character Banner went were unwilling to give up their family fields and their long-term workers. For this reason, they openly and secretly opposed the Tiger-Character Banner. A family like the Kong family, which has been established for thousands of years, was even less likely to obey easily. It is normal to provoke legal resistance.
After all, when the Tiger Flag arrives in Qufu, it will not only divide the Kong family's land, but also use knives on some heinous people.

Qin Rong smiled and explained to Chen Xunping: "Our mistress is also from the Kong family. As a subordinate, it is always our duty to remind you."
"You're the only one with a bright mind." After hearing this, Chen Xunping raised his right index finger and tapped Qin Rong from afar, then said, "Get ready, it's better to capture Ziyang as soon as possible."
Chen Xunping said: "What I'm worried about is not whether the army can take Ziyang, but Cao Guang's side. The first battle camp only has a few thousand troops. I heard that Sun Chuanting brought more than 10,000 troops this time. If Liaocheng is added, With nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses, the pressure on Cao Guang and others is definitely not small."
"I think Cao Guang can stop the Ming army brought by Sun Chuanting." Qin Rong said, "You have to have confidence in Cao Guang and the others, and the Lord has allowed us to expand our army. As long as we are given a period of time, we can expand a combat division." It’s not a problem.”
The First Battle Division reserves a large number of grassroots officers.
If it were not for the permission of Datong, the First Battle Division could have been expanded by half a battle division while still in Henan.
As long as there are military backbones, an army can be formed quickly. After fighting a few battles, the combat effectiveness will not be weak.
With the armor and equipment of the Tiger Flag, the combat effectiveness is definitely much stronger than that of the Ming army.
Chen Xunping let out a long breath and said, "I hope Cao Guang can keep Sun Chuanting at the forefront of Liaocheng, otherwise the time to deal with the Kong family will have to be postponed again."
"Okay, don't think so much now, let's study first how to capture Ziyang and deal with King Lu in the city." Qin Rong said in a relaxed tone.
The vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty were all money-spreaders in the eyes of Tiger Zi Banner. Every vassal king could bring a lot of wealth to Tiger Zi Banner, and the main military divisions of Tiger Zi Banner loved to attack the vassal prince's palace. city.
The first King Lu of the Lu vassal was the tenth son of Ming Taizu. Although he was young when he died, this branch of the Lu vassal was inherited from Taizu's lineage and became the Lu vassal a long time ago.
The current king of Lu is Zhu Shouyong, and the two kings of Lu before him are his elder brothers.
Before he became King of Lu, he had already been named a county king. He liked Buddhism, and his literary and calligraphy skills were much better than those of many vassal kings who were just waiting to die.
Although the Tiger Character Banner army has not yet besieged Ziyang City, Jining Prefecture occupied by the Tiger Character Banner is not far from Ziyang City, and it is only a day's journey on horseback.
"Your Majesty, it's time to have a meal." The eunuch in charge of the palace invited Lu Wang Zhu Shouyong to have a meal.
Zhu Shouyong said with a sad face: "How can I, the king, eat? I don't know how the talks between the people sent by the Kong family and the tiger thieves are going, and whether they can make the tiger thieves retreat."
"My lord, please be at ease. The Kong family is a family of saints. There are a few people in the world who dare to offend the family of saints. The tiger thieves will definitely retreat." The eunuch chief said to comfort King Lu.
He had never left the palace in his life, but he knew the power of the sage family of the Kong family, so in his opinion, as long as the Kong family came forward, there was nothing that could not be done.
After all, the Kong family has gone through many dynasties and is still standing strong in its own right.
"I hope so!" Zhu Shouyong sighed lightly.
He also hoped that the people of the Kong family could persuade the Tiger Flag to retreat, so that Ziyang would be safe and he, the King of Lu, could sit down peacefully until the day he died.
The chief eunuch bowed and said: "I will pass the meal to you first. Even if you have no appetite, I will eat some. Don't forget that the Kong family hasn't come back yet. They are exhausted first."
For eunuchs like him, King Lu is heaven.
They, the eunuchs of Prince Lu's Mansion, will never leave Prince Lu's Mansion in their lifetime, let alone go to the Forbidden City in the capital to serve as palace servants.
Unless the Taizong lineage in the world is extinct, King Lu will be able to inherit the throne. Otherwise, King Lu will still be King Lu no matter how he is passed on. Of course, he may also become a commoner or a criminal.
"Okay, pass the meal." Zhu Shouyong did feel a little hungry, so he asked the people below to pass the meal.
Soon, dishes were brought out one after another, and a large table was placed.
As King of Lu, his meal was better than that of Emperor Chongzhen in the Forbidden City. After all, he did not need to worry about the money and food of the Ming Dynasty, and the Prince of Lu's palace was passed down from generation to generation, and there was no shortage of gold, silver, and jade.
As for things like land and shops, in the entire Yanzhou Prefecture, except for the Kong family, no one can compare with Prince Lu's House.
One night passed, and as soon as the sky dawned, the prefect of Ziyang City led Tongzhi and other officials to the outside of King Lu's palace.
The reason why they came was because Kong's people had brought back news from the Tiger Flag.
