Water Margin Survival

When Lu Fang and Guo Sheng returned to Kaijing with their army, it was already dawn.The two met Shi Jin face to face at the gate of the city, and informed the news that the captured head had been secured.

Everyone knows the importance of this huge amount of wealth to Liang Shanbo, and Shi Jin is no exception. He excitedly dragged Guo Sheng and Lu Fang to sigh for a long time, because the news of the army's return had already been reported to Han Shizhong, and Guo Sheng and Lu Fang also There was nothing serious, so I chatted with Shi Jin at the gate of the city.

That Korean man, Gong, was trapped in the team, and he was very anxious, but he didn't dare to rush, just when he was impatient, fortunately, the two generals who led the team didn't delay too long, so they had a brief chat After the meeting, he returned to his horse and joined the team, and the team headed towards the city again.

Only then did Gong feel at ease, and cautiously followed the team of Song people. This city, which he was very familiar with, gave him a strange feeling at this moment.The city that was supposed to be noisy is still quiet at this time, without the hustle and bustle of the past, as if still immersed in sleep.

Fortunately, there is no lack of popularity in this most powerful city in Koryo. Squads of Song cavalry can be seen everywhere, escorting prisoners with heavy loads, going door to door...distributing supplies! ?

Gong was really surprised, and when he looked closely, he saw that the "prisoners" who were detained really threw bags of swollen things in front of the doors of ordinary Kaijing residents along the way. According to his judgment, It is estimated that it should be something like food.

At this time, Gong's heart was full of doubts. Is this still the behavior of the occupying army?You must know that when the Liao people entered the city, they broke in from house to house.Fulfill the rights of the winner.Take the spoils that are theirs.But right now, these Song people don't take anything against it... Could it be that these Song people from the state of ceremonies in the Holy Dynasty are really different from the barbaric Liao people! ?

The scene in front of him is not only puzzling to him, but even Lu Fang in the front team is a little puzzled. You must know that this is not the territory of the Song Dynasty, and the people in the city are not his compatriots. He is puzzled at this moment , Randomly recruited a small school to escort the surrendered soldiers.He asked, "Which battalion of brothers are you from, and what mission do you perform?"

"My little brother is the deputy commander of General Hao's third commander. He executes the military orders of the marshal and distributes rations and salt to the residents of Kaesong!" The school knew Lu Fang and knew that he was the number one deputy general of the personal guard battalion. Dare to be negligent, and clasped his hands back.

Seeing that Lu Fang was still puzzled, the junior officer said: "Our deputy general Shan is nearby, how about you go and invite me?"

Lu Fang didn't have doubts in his heart.He casually summoned a lieutenant general of the friendly army to inquire, then waved his hand and said, "It's all right, you can go!"

But it was a coincidence that as soon as the deputy commander mentioned Shan Tinggui's name, the figure of the deputy general appeared in Lu Fang's vision.At this time, Shan Tinggui was leading a hundred people to inspect the food distribution on the street.When I saw Lu Fang, I naturally wanted to come up to say hello.Seeing this, Lu Fang didn't want to be negligent. The other party was also a person who had been a regiment training envoy, so he went up to the front hatch to greet him, and then Lu Fang asked, "General Shan, shall we also distribute food in Kaijing?"

"Isn't this the granary where General Tang discovered the Korean people? You should know that the total is as high as 300 million shi, and it is estimated that we will delay here for several days. You said we stay here, and these Koreans dare not go out. Marshal He and the two staff officers were worried that people would starve to death, so we asked us to distribute rations with the surrendered soldiers. It’s not even a matter of releasing rations, it’s just one stone per family. But the salt is enough, and General Tang seized their sea salt warehouse overnight, which was full There is still a lot of salt for the whole city's family, so I'm afraid it won't be enough for them to eat last year?" Shan Tinggui laughed.

I see!Lu Fang knew something in his heart. He secretly thought that his family had to transport the food away, and it was not a short-term matter. These people felt the mind of Tianbing of the Great Song Dynasty, so they could feel at ease and be obedient citizens at home.As for why there is so much salt, that's simple.Even Liang Shanbo didn't worry about salt at all, and it took time and effort to transport it back, and it was too troublesome to distribute it to the people, but it was a kind of merit and favor.

"How did you do it! The salt was spilled, and you took it home to eat?"

The scolding voices from the cavalrymen of the Song Dynasty came from the group escorting the surrendered troops to distribute the food, which made Gong Yi startled.It turns out that the Song people not only sent food, but also salt!Really... well thought out!This bag of sea salt is probably not four to fifty catties, it is worth the old money, and the people of Song Dynasty are willing to give so much to every household...

However, before Gong could sigh a few times, he recalled it, and immediately called out "no good" in his heart. The food and salt in front of him were enough to buy people's hearts. Could it be that the posture of Song people stayed here and was not going to leave?Then his grand plan of restoring the country has come to naught again.Speaking of which, the Gong clan has been preparing secretly for nearly 200 years. At this time, if he is asked to compete for power with the immoral King of Korea, he will never back down, but he will inevitably fight against this group of Song soldiers who are destined Lost confidence.Because he was not sure that he would wipe out nearly [-] defenders in Kaijing in just a few days, and he would not be able to summon the destiny to help him, so that any city gate he wanted to attack would collapse in response.

At this time, Gong suddenly felt like throwing himself into a trap, and couldn't help regretting his rashness. He wanted to run away, but was wrapped up by Song Bing, and walked awkwardly all the way to the palace.At this time, the excitement of last night was completely gone, even looking at Lu Fang and Guo Sheng, he couldn't help but complain that they moved too quickly.

"The king and grandson of Goryeo who lost the country?" Wang Lun really didn't rest at this time. After receiving Lu Fang's report, he couldn't help but glanced at Chai Jin, and said jokingly: "Master, your comrades are here, let's meet together?"

"Brother said I'll see you, then I'll see you!" Chai Jin shook his head and smiled. He didn't shy away from his identity, but liked to publicize it so that everyone in the world knew it.

Gong was brought up timidly by Guo Sheng, and when he saw the people in the room, he was a little bit out of his mind. Everyone couldn't help but have a very bad first impression of him. This man's demeanor is not one percent as good as Chai Jin's.

"It's you who want to see me?" Wang Lun felt very strange. This person named him and wanted to see him, saying that he had something confidential to tell him, but he didn't say a word after meeting him, so strange.

"Small man...Small man..." Gong was a "little man" for a long time, but there was no reason for the "little man". At this time, seeing that everyone seemed to be impatient, he pretended to be stupid and fooled around, or simply admitted One's own identity, hesitating between these two choices.

Seeing this, Wang Lun gave Chai Jin a wink, Chai Jin understood, and said loudly: "Could this man just want to fish in troubled waters? Does he look like the king and grandson of the past? I think he is a deceitful person!" Such a person, Dare to say that his background and experience are similar to his own, which really insults the prestige of his Chai family.

Guo Sheng jokingly said: "I also saw Chai Daguan and young general in Henghai County, Cangzhou, Song Dynasty. I think he is the descendant of Chai Shizong in the Great Zhou Dynasty. This guy can't even compare him with a single finger. What a fake, Marshal, why don't you drag this person out to sacrifice the flag!"

Gong shuddered when he heard the words, he didn't dare to hesitate any longer, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and bow down: "The villain is indeed the direct descendant of the ancestor Gong's descendant, and it is only because Wang Jian's ancestor Wang Jian usurped the throne that he was exiled among the people. I think that Wang Jian was just one of my ancestors' generals at the beginning, and he made his fortune by plotting rebellion, and his descendants were very unworthy, so he provoked the Holy Dynasty of the upper kingdom to send troops to fight for it. That's why I lost my composure, and I ask the Marshal to forgive me!"

Seeing that he spoke the Song language smoothly, Wang Lun thought for a while and said, "You say that Wang Jian usurped your ancestor's throne, what proof do you have?"

"The villain has the proof of the king's seal passed down by his ancestors, and I invite the Marshal of Shangguo to take a look!" Now Gong must first prove that he did not deceive the Song officials in front of him. As for his fate after confirming his identity, there is no room for it. thought about it.

Wang Lun took the seal, looked through it, and handed it to Xu Guanzhong.In fact, when it comes to jade seals, he has a piece of Qin seal that even the emperor of the Song Dynasty recognized. This simple King Fan seal really makes it difficult for him to arouse interest.

"It doesn't look like a fake!" Xu Guanzhong checked it out and came to a conclusion, then handed Wang Xi to Qiu Xian, Qiu Xian also looked at it for a while, and then passed it to Chai Jin, Gong saw that his ancestral Wang Xi was in the hands of Song Dynasty Handing it back and forth, with a heart in my throat, I'm afraid that they will accidentally drop it, or if they don't return it to me in the end, it will be miserable.

Fortunately, Chai Jin returned Wang Xi to someone Gong with a smile, and looked back at Wang Lun and said, "In this way, we are somewhat disrespectful to the grandson of the former dynasty!"

"Don't dare!" Someone Gong carefully put Wang Xi back into the brocade bag at his waist, and felt at ease. He thought to himself that these people in Song Dynasty are not ignorant of treasures. Long stay?Thinking of this, I suddenly felt some confidence in restoring the country.

"Even if the facts are as you said, even though the King of Korea usurped the throne, it has been nearly 200 years since the founding of the country. During this period, both the Liao Kingdom and our Great Song Dynasty have officially recognized their vassal status. You want to meet the Marshal of my family today, but what do you mean? "

Under Wang Lun's signal, Xu Guanzhong invited the Korean man to sit down, had tea, and asked him why he came.In fact, it doesn't matter whether the person holding the royal seal is the grandson of the previous dynasty, what is important is what role this person can play.

"My villain has just received the news that I heard that Wang Yu lost his morality and was abandoned by the Holy Dynasty. He ordered me, a Korean, to promote himself as the lord of the Ming Dynasty. I have the courage to ask, is this true?" Wang Lun couldn't hide the light of ambition in his heart.

"You also want to intervene?" Wang Lun smiled in his heart, and said, "Your information is very quick. This is the order of my Song Dynasty officials. As ministers, we must obey it. The army will return to the Song Dynasty soon!"

Gong was overjoyed, turned over and bowed, shouting in his mouth: "Marshal Wang Shengchao took pity on my Gong family who lost the country for [-] years, and helped the villain to restore the country! Marshal's great kindness and virtue, the Gong family will never forget each other !” (to be continued~^~)
