Chapter 418: Boom City
Cui Keyin and Shen Mingzhu got up to send him off, and they didn't sit down until he left the camp tent and the attendants followed.
"Why did the mother say that I lost?" Shen Mingzhu said happily: "Could it be that the King of Chu handed over the surrender table?" ”
Cui Keyin said: "That's not true. ”
Thinking that a mad person like him can't be willing to fail and sincerely surrender for the sake of the people, right? Cui Keyin thought about it, and called Xiaofuzi to instruct: "You go to the front and wait, and the will is issued to report it." ”
She really wanted to see what means Zhou Heng took to minimize casualties, not only to save the people of the city but also to capture Zhou Kang alive. What will happen to the master who is plotting rebellion with such fanfare, once he is caught? Or in order to save trouble, Zhou Heng directly took advantage of the chaos to kill him during the siege? With Zhou Heng's temperament, it is very likely that he will do this.
Zhou Kang's rebellion, of course, will go down in history and leave a disgraceful name. But Zhou Heng has always been cunning and cunning, and he may not be willing to leave the notoriety of killing his brother, although this brother was killed because of rebellion.
Whether you can get rid of yourself or try to get rid of yourself, this is Zhou Heng's way of dealing with the world.
Xiaofuzi left in response, Shen Mingzhu was overjoyed, and said: "Niangniang is really a master, we are here to wait for news." ”
She also wanted to know the latest situation as soon as possible, but she didn't count what she said, and she was sighing, but she didn't expect Cui Keyin to ask the waiter to inquire about the news. This trick is commonly used by the concubines of the harp/palace, but no one dares to use it so blatantly, that is, Cui Keyin dares to send an inner servant to guard the door of the Chinese army's big account so unscrupulously.
While the two were waiting, they naturally drank tea. Eat snacks and gossip.
Zhou Kang in the city doesn't have this leisure and fun. Lu Guohua was also staring at the hourglass, and when he saw that the time was coming, he was shocked, and hurriedly continued to persuade him. And outside, the subordinates who had already knelt down and begged Zhou Kang to surrender.
Zhou Kang glanced at the past, first sad, then angry, and said sharply: "You said ten days ago that I am the true son of heaven, and I should be enthroned as the emperor. Now I am persuaded to surrender without a battle. So backsliding. Aren't you afraid that I will cut off your sacrificial flag? ”
"Your Majesty ......," wailed his subordinates. We're fooling you. If you want to be serious yourself, how can you blame us?
Lu Guohua was quite reliable, kowtowed, and said: "The emperor's destiny has been able to occupy more than ten earth pools in just a few months. in order to ascend the throne as emperor. in order to leave a mark in history. It's just that now the army is overwhelmed. We can't fight, we have only one way to surrender. ”
Zhou Kang kicked Lu Guohua on the head. Blood trickled down from Lu Guohua's head and dripped on the ground, and the subordinates behind him trembled and didn't dare to say more.
"Don't you even have the courage to fight? Whoever dares to lead the army into battle will be immediately crowned a general. Zhou Kang gritted his teeth and aired. These soft eggs are really a big mistake, and they want to harm me from a dignified son of heaven to a prisoner, and there is no door.
Zhou Kang asked three times in a row, but no one accosted. There are ten cannons under the city, who dares to go out? pulled the team out, and before the formation was formed, I was afraid that it would have been bombarded into ashes by others. Although no one knows how the cannon is accurate, but looking at the city wall, the monster spitting huge flames is really strange, people block people, Buddha blocks Buddha, who dares to stop the drive of flesh and blood, and who can stop it?
The subordinates had to press their heads lower and try to get as close to the ground as possible, for fear that Zhou Kang would notice their presence.
At this moment, the cannon that had stopped for half an hour roared again. Everyone in the hall went up to Zhou Kang, down to all his subordinates, and even the palace attendants who were waiting outside the door, their faces changed greatly.
Zhou Kang tried to puff up his chest, trying to make himself look stronger, and pointed to one of his subordinates in the sound of cannons: "You lead the troops out of the city to meet the enemy, if you win, I will make you the general and the secretary of the military department, and seal your wife and children." If you are defeated, I will not blame you, and I will reward you as well. How is it? ”
The man was stunned, his mind went blank, and he only subconsciously stared at the ground.
Zhou Kang saw that he did not "resist the order", and thought that he was willing to lead the troops to fight this battle, so he was slightly satisfied and said: "Give you 10,000 elite soldiers, and leave the city immediately." ”
Before the words fell, a ghost crying wolf howled in the distance and rushed over: "Your Majesty, it's not good, the cannon will blast open the city wall......"
Everyone in the hall was petrified, some people had an expression of remorse, some people had an expression of regret, and some people muttered blankly, but the one who was named was overjoyed, so that he didn't have to go out of the city, and everyone was on the same level again.
Lu Guohua turned around to look at his colleagues, and then at Zhou Kang, bursting into tears, this time he really cried, not to blackmail Zhou Kang into making a scene.
When Zhou Kang received the news, he was stunned for a long time, and a mouthful of blood spurted out from afar. The dragon head embroidered on the chest of his dragon robe was stained red with blood, and his whole face was as pale as paper, looking very weird.
"Sure enough, the city will be bombarded in three hours?" He muttered to himself.
Lu Guohua jumped up and hugged his leg regardless of his own life or death, and shouted: "Your Majesty, hurry up and write a table!" ”
If the city is broken, he is not even qualified to surrender, and can only be captured. And surrender is not just a matter of empty words, it is to be presented to the other party and agreed to by the other party.
Zhou Kang looked at Lu Guohua with a dull gaze, his voice was hoarse and dry, and said, "Do I want to write a table?" ”
Everyone in the hall didn't notice that the cannon had stopped for some time, and they only thought that if they didn't surrender, they would definitely be bombed into cannon fodder, so they nodded like chickens pecking rice: "If you want it, you want it." ”
Now that the city wall has been blasted open and the city gate has been blasted open, then he will be captured sooner or later, rather than being humiliated by those lowly soldiers, it is better to surrender himself and fall into the hands of Zhou Heng.
Zhou Kang gritted his teeth, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll write the table." ”
He is the second son of Emperor Wenzong, and even if he dies, he cannot be humiliated.
Everyone in the hall cheered, as long as he was willing to surrender, he would not die. As soon as the death threat is removed, many people's minds are alive again, or they can take this opportunity to be a serious official, and it is not necessary to embark on a career in office?
A few nimble minds got up from the ground and rushed to polish ink for Zhou Kang.
Under the city, Cui Keyin was stunned at first after listening to Xiaofuzi's report, and then turned to Shen Mingzhu and said, "I'll just say that the emperor is merciful and does things in a very measured way." ”
The pride and pride are palpable.
Do you need to praise it like this? Shen Ming slandered, and once again thought of Emperor Zhi'an, why are the two brothers born to the same father so different? She forgot that Zhou Kang, who rebelled in the city, and these two were also brothers of the same father.
After Cui Keyin praised Zhou Heng, she ordered Xiaofuzi to inquire about the news again, and then invited Shen Mingzhu: "Why don't we have the next game?" ”
At this time, she still had the leisure to play chess, and Shen Mingzhu really convinced her. (To be continued.) )
