Chapter 311: Runzhou Surrenders
When the old man heard Hong Tianxi's words, he looked at him again, and cried and said, "My son, daughter-in-law, wife, and my eldest grandson and eldest granddaughter have all been killed. You are fighting, you want to fight for the world, we ordinary people, we just want to have something to eat! We are all Yongding people, how can you do it?"
He said with emotion, "What are you going to do? Can you make your head grow back? All the people of the city have been dragged to the city tower and killed......! If it weren't for the kindness of the people, they secretly let us go......"
All the people of a city were dragged to the tower and killed?
Is this - the slaughter of the city?
Hong Tianxi only felt his brain buzz for a moment, and he was dizzy for a moment.
"There are barbarians in the north and barbarians in the south, and if you don't kill them, will you kill the people here?" asked the old man angrily.
Hong Tianxi only felt that his blood was surging, and his face was hot.
"You old man...... "There was an annoyed and angry soldier, who stepped forward and shouted angrily, and wanted to pick up the old man's collar.
Hong Tianxi waved his hand, "Uncle, we were just about to rush to Songcheng, ...... when you left?"
"We ran out by night yesterday, and we really can't walk here......" The old man's head was hot just now, and he was drunk by the soldier, and his brain was clear, so he didn't dare to say anything more, but only lowered his head and looked at the child in his arms.
The kid looked about six or seven years old, about the same age as Yuliang. The old man did not make a sound when he spoke, but hid in the old man's arms.
Hong Tianxi sighed and asked his soldiers to bring some silver and dry food, "Uncle, you should take the child away quickly." Be careful on the way, just cross the Lanjiang River. ”
The old man looked at the silver in front of him and hesitated for a while before taking it. He put the silver aside, opened the dry food and handed it to the child. The child took a piece of dry food, but he didn't care about eating it himself, and stuffed it to the old man first, "Grandpa eats." ”
The old man had dry food in his mouth, and the child continued to eat.
Several soldiers watched, and one of them took out a water bag and handed it over, and the child looked up and smiled, "Thank you, brother." ”
This thank you made everyone else feel ashamed.
When they came out of Shuzhong, they were to avenge the first emperor and correct the name of the prince!
But looking at the old and the young in front of them, a thought slipped through the hearts of several soldiers: What are we doing as soldiers to eat and leave our hometowns?
Hong Tianxi turned around and walked out, and several other soldiers followed, and when one left, he also took half of the wooden door with him.
"The whole team, rush to Runzhou!" Hong Tianxi turned over and dropped a sentence without looking back.
There are 5,000 defenders in Songcheng, since King Teng has taken Songcheng, will he directly attack Runzhou? If Runzhou is captured, does the prince also plan to bloody Runzhou?
Dong'er and the four of them, are they still in Runzhou?
He clenched the reins, a look of shame and remorse on his face.
When the two armies are fighting, how can the people be innocent? He must hurry to Songcheng and Runzhou to admonish King Teng.
Hong Tianxi was anxious, so he didn't stop all the way, and led the army to Runzhou quickly.
In the city of Runzhou, it is now a gloomy fog.
King Teng shouted outside the city, saying that the deadline was to open the door and surrender tonight, otherwise the day the city was broken would be the time when the city was killed.
Fu Yuande's house ushered in an uninvited guest. A dark, thin and short man dressed as an ordinary person was sitting in Fu Yuande's living room, "General Fu, my prince attaches great importance to General Fu, don't make a mistake about yourself." ”
Fu Yuande looked at the man, and then looked at the letter in his hand. It is better to say that it is an epistle, but it is better to say that it is two sheets of paper full of words. It's just that what is written on the paper is his crime of deducting military salaries and pretending to be public and personal in recent years.
King Teng had already set his sights on himself a few years ago?
"The soldiers in this city are not up to me," he said with difficulty...... "There are a thousand defenders in the city, and Qi Shi who ran over from Songcheng, and in this city, there are also the old ...... of King Cheng."
"My lord said that General Fu has been operating in Runzhou for many years, even if there are one or two consumables, it will not be difficult for you to come. General Fu, you have to think about it, dedicate the city to sincerity, you are a hero to the prince. When our army takes Runzhou City, you will be nothing. The prince's army of 500,000 is coming to Runzhou. ”
"By the way, the prince also said that if you are willing to sacrifice Runzhou, then the grievances between you and General Hong Lao, the prince is willing to deal with you for you. ”
Fu Yuande sat in the living room, listening to this person talking, only to feel like sitting on pins and needles. He had the heart to stand up and shouted at this person, "Get out, I want to live and die with Runzhou", but when the words reached his throat, his throat seemed to be choked by an invisible hand, and he couldn't spit out a word.
If he dies, and King Teng makes these incriminating evidence of him public, then after he dies, he will also have to bear the infamy.
Besides, his family is all in Runzhou, if King Teng breaks through Runzhou City, he may open up to the people in the name of benevolence and righteousness. What about your wife and children? I'm afraid that in a fit of rage, I'll kill them, right?
"General Fu......" The old man shouted urging after drinking a bowl of tea on the ground.
"Allow me...... Discuss with the brothers for a moment?" Fu Yuande jumped in surprise, sweat on his forehead, and asked weakly.
The man nodded in agreement, "This is naturally okay, I don't know how long it will take for General Fu to call me back?" ”
"Now that the gates of the city are shut, your envoys will go out of the city...... I'm just afraid of any inconvenience. ”
"General Fu is General Runzhou, can't he even be convenient for this?"
"That's, that'...... Why don't you go to my guest house to rest for a while?" Fu Yuande's fat on his belly tightened and shrank, and he said with a forced smile.
"Well, when it gets dark, I'll go out of the city and resume my life. The man stood up and followed the Fu family's subordinates to the guest house, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes.
What a general, just this paralyzed flesh, he doesn't even pay attention to him.
The prince is also a game, he played a game of killing chickens and monkeys in Songcheng Slaughter, and he wanted to come to Runzhou without blood.
According to him, there are only about 1,000 people in this city, and there is no need to wait for Hongdian's army, just the 30,000 people led by the prince can take Runzhou in half an hour.
Fu Yuande saw this man leave arrogantly, and he was a little angry in his heart, he was a dignified general, and a nobody dared to pose in front of him? But when he thought of King Teng behind this person, his anger dissipated again.
King Teng surrendered, what should he do?
When he was ordered to support Qingzhou, he brought all his cronies with him. Now, most of them are lost in Qingzhou, and if he proposes to surrender to the thousand defenders in the city, how many people will respond?
Fu Yuande thought for a moment, and then asked several of his confidants to come in for discussion.
Everyone was like-minded, and soon they were on the same page.
