Chapter 104: Surrender
Feng Mo thought about Jia Ke's words for a while, and felt that it must be the case, so he said to Jia Ke: "My lord, what should we do?" ”
Jia Ke smiled at him and said, "Of course, I am waiting for the rabbit and fishing with a net." You lead your men and horses to wait for him at the north gate. If he doesn't come, he will be fine, and if he comes, he will let him fall into the net. ”
Feng Mo is now obedient to Jia Ke, since Jia Ke ordered him to do so, then he has no doubts. Immediately go down and lead the men and horses, and lay an ambush at the north gate, waiting for those who are in the middle of the net to throw themselves into the net.
In addition, there is a family in Kaipingwei, which is a well-known wealthy family in Kaipingwei, and his family is mainly engaged in horse trading business. In the past few decades, it has been smooth sailing, and there has been no bad pool. The owner of this family is surnamed Tang, and his full name is Tang Kuai. Since his father's generation, he has been in the horse trading business, and over the years, the road between the imperial court and the grassland has been opened, no matter where it is, it is unimpeded. Now the family is very rich, and in Xuanfu Town, it is already one of the few families.
But it is rumored that the owner Tang Kuai is very nostalgic, so the base camp has not left Kaipingwei over the years, and repairs bridges and roads every year, but in the event of a famine, he also has to send relief to the victims, and he is the most famous good man in Kaipingwei. This time the Tatars attacked, and the government requisitioned all the men in Pingwei, and he sent not only his family, but also his two sons to the front.
But almost all people don't know that this Tang Dashan is not from the Central Plains. His father, originally a Tatar, was sent to the Southern Dynasty by the previous khan to serve as a Tatar messenger, and even used assassination and other means to eradicate dissidents for the Tatars, and after his father's death, he took over this position. Although he sometimes forgot that he was a Tatar, every time an order came, it reminded him of this identity that he hated himself.
The deaths of the previous thousand households of Kaipingwei are all related to him, and the killers who went to assassinate were all Tatar dead soldiers, and he took the opportunity of selling horses to secretly receive Kaipingwei from the grassland.
Just now he received a report from the family members who were on the tower of the city to help defend the city, and three huge bonfires were lit in the camp of the Tatars.
When Tang Kui heard the news, he began to feel a little restless, he was different from his father. His father had always considered himself a Tatar, but he resisted this identity from the bottom of his heart. His mother was from the Central Plains, and he also wanted to be a Central Plains, not a Tatar.
Tang Kui thought about it at home, and he knew that if he did what the Tatars ordered this time, then he would not be able to stay in the Central Plains any longer, and the thought of returning to the steppe and living those precarious lives by grass made him feel chills in his heart.
He walked around his room, looking at the house that had been built by the hard work of father and son, and thinking about the woolen tents on the prairie. He felt that he could make a decision to save his children and grandchildren to live a prosperous and prosperous life, even if he deserved to die. Instead of grazing sheep on the steppe and then exploiting by the lord, even the newlywed of his own wife had to be given to the lord to enjoy first.
Once a person has made a decision, he feels a whole body of relief because he already knows what he is going to face. Tang Kuai is the same, he is not afraid of death, but he is afraid of his children and grandchildren, and lives like those herdsmen.
Tang Kui made a decision, so he couldn't hesitate any longer.
"Someone, get me a car."
At this time, his wife came in with a bowl of bird's nest and said to him, "Master, it's so late, where are you going?" ”
Tang Kuai looked at his old wife, didn't know if he could come back after he went, and said to her with a gentle face: "I may have to go out for a few days, I am not at home these days, the family will be handed over to you to take care of, our two sons are not young, you have to discipline them well, and then marry them a more powerful daughter-in-law, and they can be controlled in the future." Okay, that's all. With that, he walked out.
Her wife sensed that something was wrong with his attitude. It's not something I've been saying for two days, it's like I'm explaining what happened. hurriedly went up and grabbed him, his eyes couldn't help but turn red, and with a crying tone in his tone, he asked him, "What happened to the master?" You told me, let's discuss together, you are the pillar of our family, without you, our family will be scattered. ”
Tang Kuai gently grabbed her hand, which was no longer as soft as it was twenty years ago, and then patted it gently, comforting her and saying, "It's nothing, just to deal with some small things, lay a foundation for our son's future, and live with peace of mind in the future." ”
comforting his wife, Tang Kui went out and got into the car, and went directly to the city gate, and when he arrived at the city gate, he saw that the guards were not very strict here. But the more this happened, the more scared he felt. Now in the midst of the war with the Tatars, the city gates were so lax in their defenses that they were probably already laying their nets and waiting for their fish to jump in.
Tang Kuai didn't delay, got out of the car and found a soldier. asked with a smile on his face: "This little brother, I asked you about something, I don't know if Lord Qianhu is not there, I have something important to report to him." ”
The soldier looked him up and down, and immediately recognized him, Tang Kui was still very famous in Kaipingwei, and then let the soldier say with a smile on his face: "It turned out to be Tang Daguan, you have something to do with Lord Qianhu?" ”
Tang Kuai said calmly: "Yes, there are some things that I want to tell Lord Qianhu." ”
"Then you wait for a while, Lord Qianhu is at the head of the city, and I will let someone report to you." After speaking, he said to the people next to him: "You go to the city to report to the Lord of Qianhu, and say that the Tang Dashan people in the city have important things to see Lord Qianhu, and see what the adults say."
The soldiers next to him listened to him and immediately ran towards the castle tower.
Tang Kuai waited for a short time below, and the soldier came down, and then said to Tang Kuai with a smile: "Lord Qianhu is very happy to know that Tang Dashan is visiting, let me invite Dashan Ren to go to the city to talk." After speaking, he raised his hand and asked Tang Kui to go to the city.
At this time, Tang Kuai had no way to retreat, and followed the soldier to the city. When I got to the city, I walked dozens of steps forward. When he came to a young general, the soldier went up and knelt on one knee and said to the young general, "Lord Qiqi Qianhu, bring Tang Kuai." ”
Jia Ke had already looked at the soldier who had just come up to report and came to him with a middle-aged man who looked like a wealthy businessman.
Jia Ke waved his hand to the soldier and said, "Go back, just have me here." And the soldier withdrew.
Tang Kuai didn't know where he was, the person in front of him was the new Qianhu Jia Ke. Hurriedly knelt on his knees and bowed to Jia Ke: "Caomin Tang Kuai, knock on the Lord of Qianhu." ”
Jia Ke looked at him with a slight smile on his face, "I know you, we are a famous rich businessman and a good man in Kaipingwei, I don't know what you are looking for me." ”
Tang Kuai looked at the smiling young man in front of him, and somehow, he felt a chill behind him, as if he was being targeted by a wild beast.
Originally, he thought that at this time, there was nothing to be afraid of, but since he only saw this young man, he felt that this young man was too terrible, this was purely an intuition that had been undercover in the Southern Dynasty for so many years, and this intuition did not know how many times he had been saved.
Tang Kuai knelt there and didn't dare to get up, didn't dare to raise his head, kept kowtowing to Jia Ke, and then said with a trembling tone: "The grass people turned themselves in. ”
Jia Ke's smile was retracted, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and a burst of cold light came out of the west wind, but there was still a smile in the tone of his conversation: "What did Tang Dashan do and need to surrender to me?" ”
Tang Kuai still kept kowtowing, "Adult, small sins deserve death, they are Tatar spies." ”
