Song Dynasty

Chapter 170
When Kong Xian saw Wang Shen's letter to his father, he suddenly fell into an ice cellar, and his body couldn't help shaking violently: "Impossible, impossible, how could Wang Daosi say that, how could it be possible?"

Wang Shen didn't write that much in this letter, it was all in plain language, and his tone was very arrogant.

There are roughly four points.

The first point is that I, Wang Shengang, defeated the coalition forces of various thieves in Huanggang, and it was an unprecedented victory.All the captives captured were beheaded and thrown into the river to deter the rebellious party.If you don't believe Kong Yanzhou, you can go to the river to see what happens to those who oppose me, Mr. Wang.

Secondly, now that you have no reinforcements outside and no food and grass inside, Qichun City has been surrounded by our [-] strong army, and its collapse will only happen sooner or later.As long as a certain is willing, stretch out a finger and press you to death.However, a certain person admires Miss Kong Er's appearance and character, and can't bear to see the casualties of the common people, so he can recruit you on behalf of the imperial court.

However, you have committed many crimes in Qi and Huang, and you have to settle them one by one.

If you really intend to accept the recruitment, you can hand over the army to Kong Xian, bind your arms and go out of the city to surrender, and some deputies will send you to Liudu to accept the trial of the national law.

Third, send your daughter out of the city immediately, and she will marry the second young lady on an auspicious day.A certain is sincere to her, the marriage is about the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, you are her father, you must write a marriage letter, agree to this marriage, pay a generous dowry, and go through all the etiquette.

Fourth: I have ordered the besieging army to open a passage to let the people in the city go out to work. You are not allowed to stop it.

If not, Qichun will be destroyed in the future, and you Kong Yanzhou's head will be cut off, and the head will be displayed to the public, and circulated to all the troops in the south of the Yangtze River, so as to serve as a policeman.

……

Here and there are peace talks, an outrageous and unreasonable ultimatum, a naked threat from the victor to the loser.

The other points may not matter, Kong Yanzhou can pretend he didn't hear it, but handing over the general power to Kong Xian will kill him.

Kong Xian knew his father's temperament the most, and he was very strict with the army.

The Kong family army has been extremely complicated since it was formed. There are a large number of refugees, bandits and rogues in the army. In the minds of these people, there is no word of loyalty at all.

From Hebei to Qizhou, there have been countless riots in the army.There are those who want to separate the family by pulling troops, and those who go to war to seize their father's military power.In addition to the interior, the friendly forces also annexed and killed each other.

Many times, Kong Yanzhou narrowly escaped death, and beheaded the rebels mercilessly.

Having experienced a lot of life and death, Kong Yanzhou underestimated the so-called loyalty and brotherhood.Everything in the world is false, and only the barrel of a gun in one's own hands can be trusted.If you want me to hand over the military power, it will be life and death.At that point, even father and son can't do it.

Realizing the seriousness of this, Kong Xian was immediately terrified, and cold sweat dripped onto the paper, crying repeatedly: "Father, the son really doesn't know about this. Father, how dare the son think so?"

His heart collapsed for a while: Dao Si, Dao Si, how could you do this, are you trying to harm me?

Kong Yanzhou sneered loudly; "Your heart is in your own belly, how dare you think about it, how do you think about it, how will others know. Little beast, you really have two minds, and you have a strong support from Wang Shen, and you want to treat Lao Tzu I have evil intentions. Yes, yes, yes, he is going to be your younger brother, and you are the real family. The son wants to take away the father's property, and the son-in-law wants to share a piece of the pie. Well, well, our family has talents. For the father I am very pleased! This Kong family army is handed over to you, maybe it will really be carried forward and glorify the ancestors. Master Kong, should I beg you to let a certain horse go, and don’t send me to the court for trial?"

As he spoke, he put his hand on the handle of the knife, and a murderous aura permeated the hall.

Kong Xian was still standing there blankly, he couldn't breathe and couldn't do anything.

At this moment, Lu Benzhong, who was standing beside him, poked his waist quietly with his fingers.

Kong Xian woke up in an instant, knelt down on the ground with a plop, and cried, "Daddy, my son really dare not think like this again. If you don't believe me, you can kill me with a single knife. My son will show his ambition by death, and he will never dare to have the slightest complaint. .” There was blood coming out of his mouth and nose, and the crying was real.

Grievance, pain, discomfort, cold heart...

"Dangmou really dare not kill you?" Kong Yanzhou's triangular eyes were radiant: "Don't act in front of me!"

Only then did Lu Benzhong interject, "General Kong, Wang Shen's letter is clearly trying to sow discord between you father and son, and to split our army. This guy is cunning and wise, so don't fall for his tricks."

During this month, Lu Benzhong was coerced and tried his best to defend Qichun City like an iron bucket, causing the Sizhou army to suffer enough, and has completely won Kong Yanzhou's trust.

I have to admit that this old man is really capable, and his methods are vicious. He planned to kill so many people from the Sizhou Army, and he is already on the same boat as Kong Yanzhou, and he is not afraid of his betrayal.

Hearing this, Kong Yanzhou suddenly realized: "It turned out that Wang Shen's son was playing tricks. If I'm a fool, how can I follow his way? Lu Benzhong, what do you think about this matter?"

Lu Benzhong pondered for a while, and said, "General, Wang Shen's letter is not only used to separate you father and son, but also to disturb the morale of our army. For example, the matter of asking for a daughter-in-law is to kill the fighting spirit of the soldiers and make everyone's hearts go away. First of all, I had the idea of ​​marrying to seek peace, and naturally I wanted to save some sympathy when I went to the battlefield, and I was unwilling to defend to the death. As for opening the door, let the people go out of the city to survive..."

Before he finished speaking, Kong Yanzhou sneered and said, "It can be said that all the people in the city died because of the surname Wang. At this time, he was thinking about the people, not to mention gaining fame, but he still wanted to kill so many people." The responsibility is put on Lao Tzu's head, let me carry this wrong name, how can there be such a simple thing in the world? There are not many people in this city, let the people out of the city, who will I ask to help me guard the city? Lu Benzhong, wait for you to pass it on to me According to the military order, no one is allowed to leave the city. Otherwise, it will be regarded as a rebellion and will be executed on the spot."

"Yes." Lu Benzhong nodded.

At this time, Liu Fu, who had been standing by the side without speaking, asked, "Master, the military rations in the city are almost exhausted, and people are almost dead. Is there any point in defending the city? How about..."

"Why not? How about running away? Where else can I go?" Kong Yanzhou's face was distorted, and his eyes were full of desperate anger: "Zhi Niang, I only have a little more than 2000 soldiers left, can I know Huaixi now? There is no land, no food and fodder, and it will be gone in two days. If that is the case, it would be better to stay in Qichun, as long as you have the land in your hands, beat back the king, divide his family business, and worry about not being able to make a comeback?"

His voice became louder, and he waved his hands frantically: "Although Cao Cheng's side has just been beheaded by 1 people, don't forget that there are more than [-] brothers from the old Tokyo left-behind department in Anlu's side. He Wang Shenzhan After leaving Huangzhou, a thorn was nailed to the backs of Zhang Yong, Cao Cheng and the others. This was a life-and-death fight, and there was no room for compromise. Even if the little thief Wang can fight, he is no match for two fists and four hands .We only need to hold on for one more breath, and we can tear Wang Shen to pieces."

"I must persevere, no matter what, God will be on my side."
