At the end of Song Dynasty: I want to be the master of ZTE

Chapter 97 Death is not terrible

Hu Sansheng guessed wrong. Jiang Wanzai only asked Jiang Xin to lead [-] troops to support the city branch town, while he himself stayed in the rear.

Gong Xin also failed to reach Nanchang City because Li Heng mobilized surrounding troops to block him in Shicha Town.

Liu Shen, who was lucky enough to escape, came up with a plan. The Yuan army did not rush to attack. Instead, they built earthen walls and planned to flood the city and branch towns.

This was a big project that could not be completed in less than ten days and half a month, so the city and town fell into a stalemate.

Outside Fengcheng, Wen Tianxiang saw that the sky had cleared up and immediately summoned the generals to discuss matters.

After a while, all the generals gathered.

The four rulers are Sun Gui and Hu Weixiao from Yangzhou, and locals Yan Shili and Yan Qiyan's uncle and nephew.

"Everyone." Wen Tianxiang looked around and said: "When Fengcheng didn't know the sky, it resisted the king's army. It should be wiped out by force. Who is willing to be the vanguard?"

"Ji Hou." Hu Weixiao said: "The sky has cleared up, the road is slippery and muddy, and it is difficult to move. We have to wait for a day or two."

Wen Tianxiang replied: "Gong Dutong is trapped in a branch town, how can he be delayed?"

Hu Weixiao said: "The king's army cannot attack the city, and neither can the Tartars. We really are not in a hurry.

The capital has thunder from heaven to help, so why worry?
In addition, the Tartar navy suffered heavy losses, and the Gan River belongs to our army. Even if we cannot control it, we can just turn around the Gan River. "

Hu Weixiao was six feet tall, with a long beard reaching to his chest. He had a rather official demeanor, but he took the initiative to go south and, together with Sun Gui, transferred Wen Tianxiang's subordinates to serve him.

Sun Gui said: "Ji Hou, the last general thought that he could send people to surrender."

Wen Tianxiang said: "When Master Wang arrives, You Zi seizes the city and resists stubbornly. The traitors are nothing more than this. What's the use of recruiting them?"

Sun Gui said: "With the help of sky thunder, it is not difficult to break the city. However, attacking the city is a bad strategy and will inevitably cause damage. If we can defeat it without fighting, we can save the sky thunder and avoid casualties. It is really a good thing." .”

Wen Tianxiang never said that he believed that Hu Weixiao and Sun Gui were greedy for life and afraid of death, but at this time, he had to admit that what he said made sense.

A professional is a professional, and you can't do it if you don't accept it.

"In this way, we will send people to surrender, the officers will be demoted to the first level and retained, and the soldiers will be released back to their hometowns." After setting the principle, Wen Tianxiang looked around and asked, "Who can be the envoy?"

The crowd was silent.

Coming as an envoy is dangerous, as is sending an envoy.

It can be roughly traced back to the Jingkang year, when the Jin army besieged the city for the second time, and Song Qinzong sent envoys to negotiate peace. As a result, everyone with a good name was detained, and only those with a low reputation or a bad reputation were released.

Yuanting inherited the bad habits of the Jin Dynasty, so Chengli sat on the main seat.

In this case, no one wants to go.

If you are detained, you will most likely die. Not only has your loyalty been fulfilled, but you can also have a wife and a shadow, which is actually not bad. If you are afraid of being released, it will be too embarrassing.

Therefore, when Chen Yizhong made an appointment with Boyan for negotiations, he soon regretted it and did not go as promised. When Boyan led his troops to Gaoting Mountain, he ran away.

Physical death is not terrible, social death is the most embarrassing.

"Your subordinate is willing to go for it." The Linjiang Army appeased Chai Yan and stood up to invite Ying.

Wen Tianxiang immediately said: "Public morality is highly respected, and it is imperative for the public to stabilize Linjiang. I will definitely be harmed by thieves if I go here. I would rather lose a thousand troops than harm the public at all."

Chai Yan was in his seventies, with a hunchback and dim eyesight. He looked like he was about to be buried. Why did Wen Tianxiang pay so much attention to him?
When he was young, he was dissatisfied with the darkness of the imperial court and left Imperial College angrily. He only enjoyed teaching in the countryside for 60 years.

In the 320th year of the Guo Dynasty, the Linjiang Army only got three Jinshi, all of whom came from his sect. Looking around the state, anyone who can read is his disciple and grandson.

Gong Xin raided Shicha Town, Wen Tianxiang then led troops into the Linjiang Army, and Chai Yan took the initiative to lead the way. There was no resistance in the whole territory and they all surrendered. However, the strong men held their noses and cooperated with the land distribution, and there were very few absconders.

The prestige is so high.

Chai Yan said: "For the sake of eternal life, why not spare the body? A meager reputation is not worth mentioning."

"Don't mention this." Wen Tianxiang shook his head.

If he dared to send Chai Yan away, the entire Linjiang army would dare to send him away.

"Teacher, Marquis Ji." An ordinary young man came out from behind Chai Yan and said, "The student is white, and my father-in-law is also in Fengcheng. I'm sure I won't have any worries. I should leave this time."

His name is Ding Lu, a disciple of Chai Yan.

Chai Yan shook his head and said, "If you are unlucky, how can you inherit your mantle?"

"The mountains and rivers are in ruins, the land is smelly, and the Han family is in a state of decline. How can the destiny be restored?" Ding Lu asked back, and then said: "A teacher loses his students, especially tens of millions of students. If a student loses his teacher, where can he get his unique knowledge?"
If a student is unlucky, the teacher will write down the story in front of a book and pass it on to future generations to prevent the path of enlightenment from being lost. "

Chai Yan sighed: "Forget it, start writing immediately as a teacher, and only have pity on the sky, and give it an extra year."

After the discussion between master and apprentice, Wen Tianxiang will send soldiers to escort him. Ding Lu said: "The guards are accompanying us. Everyone in the city knows that the Song people are coming, but if there are one or two stubborn thieves, they will die!"

So Ding Lu went to Fengcheng alone.Watching him leave, Wen Tianxiang sighed: "It's a shame that people who have inherited unique knowledge are so frustrated that the rules cannot be used."

Next to him, Luo Kaili said: "When he returns, he may be able to report to the imperial court for a special case."

Father and son, father-in-law and son-in-law, whenever one of them is an official in Yuanting, the other is idle, in order to prevent collusion with each other to spy on secrets, Ding Lu's father-in-law

Fu Bingxin was arrested and raised, so Ding Lu could not serve as an official.

Of course, if there is a guarantor with great merit and sufficient weight, he can be pardoned.

Chai Yan had great prestige in the Linjiang Army, but because he did not write poems, books, or make friends with powerful people, his reputation dropped drastically after leaving the Linjiang Army, and he was not enough to be a guarantor.

It is only said that Ding Lu arrived outside the city and shouted to the garrison at the top of the city: "I am Fu Ti's third son-in-law, Tao Bingxin. I am here today to beg for reward."

Because Fu Bingxin's status was not low, the defenders did not dare to neglect him and reported it immediately.

After a while, Fu Bingxin arrived and found out that he was really his son-in-law. He hurriedly ordered him to put down the hanging basket and pick him up.

When Ding Lu came up, he saw his father-in-law stuffing a piece of silver into the defender.

After dispatching the soldiers, Fu Bingxin complained: "How can you dare to go alone when the war is in chaos? If you are in trouble, where will you put Sanniang?"

"My father-in-law, calm down." Ding Lu said, "Sanniang is temporarily living in the thatched cottage, so she has nothing to worry about."

The thatched cottage is a school run by Chai Yan. At the beginning, Li Heng repeatedly ordered not to disturb them. Now that the Song army has returned, they can rest easy.

In the space of two sentences, the two of them left the city.

Fu Bingxin chattered endlessly, while Ding Lu listened without saying a word, only keeping in mind what he saw along the way.

Suddenly, he saw a group of soldiers walking into a house carrying firewood, and he couldn't help but ask: "What kind of family is this? They actually make the officers and soldiers work."

"That's not the case." Fu Bingxin explained: "If the house is filled with straw, everything will go wrong, and both jade and stone will be destroyed."

Ding Lu was horrified, but didn't say much.

His character was taciturn, and Fu Bingxin didn't doubt it.

When he arrived at his residence, Fu Bingxin took his son-in-law into the study and whispered: "A good son-in-law has always been wise, why did he throw himself into death?"

There was panic in his voice.

Ding Lu asked, "My son-in-law came here on orders to save my father-in-law from the fire."

"Confused!" Fu Bingxin shouted angrily, lowered his voice quickly, and said: "The whole city is not allowed in and out, and my husband-in-law is dead here!"

Fu Bingxin is so angry.

Chai Yan taught for 60 years and said four times, "This son will become a great person." The first three were awarded Jinshi, and the fourth one added the sentence "He can inherit my mantle." The fourth one was Ding Lu.

Otherwise, Fu Bingxin's family has a fortune and thousands of hectares of fertile land. Why would he give a bride price of three thousand guan to a son-in-law with an ordinary appearance and ordinary family background?
Please take me to fly.

"Since ancient times, how many people have been like Zhang Xun?" Ding Lu said: "How many people in Hecheng have this ambition? If the father-in-law has many contacts, there will be many who start."

"The words of a wise son-in-law are wrong." Fu Bingxin said, "Do you know who the commander-in-chief here is?"

"Who?" Ding Lu asked.

"Lü Ge was the former magistrate of Lianjiang County. After colluding with the powerful to rebel, he voted for the Yuan Dynasty. He was awarded the title of deputy ten thousand households and the governor of Fengcheng..."

Before he finished speaking, he only heard someone shouting outside: "Master, the order is passed on by someone, and the county government is discussing matters."

"I'll be there later." Fu Bingxin replied and looked at his son-in-law.

He was originally an honest man, and there were no bad people in his family, otherwise Ding Lu would not be able to marry his daughter, and he could still manage the family normally, but he was at a loss at this juncture.

Ding Lu said: "My son-in-law is going with me, my father-in-law is as always, don't show any flaws, and the rest will adapt accordingly."

"I'm just afraid that Lu Ge will be suspicious." Fu Bingxin hesitated.

"If something goes wrong, and Weng and his son-in-law die together, how can the court treat him poorly?" Ding Lu was very calm.

He doesn't want to die, but he's not afraid of death. This is his current mental state.

He knew about Lu Ge. Although he didn't know the details, he knew that this was not someone who could be recruited to surrender, so he could only think of other ways.

Besides, even if you die, you still have to send some information, otherwise your death will be in vain?
