Chapter 827: Loyalty is gone

The aftermath of Ning Hu's blood splashing in the public court quickly spread, and everyone in Beijing talked about this public trial with relish, but the spectators were more concerned about the weight of the collision, how deep the wound on Ning Hu's head was, and why it didn't hit ten thousand peach blossoms, spreading the reaction of the adults in the hall, as for whether Jiang Anyi really collaborated with the enemy, there were not many people who cared.

Shen Guogong's Mansion, on top of the high-rise building of Qianlimu, Wang Keming and Zhao Wei drank in the wind, and both of them were half drunk. "Dong Dong" footsteps were urgent, Wang Yongyou came upstairs, clasped his hands into fists and said, "Grandpa Guo, I came back from the trial." ”

Wang Keming casually threw the fist-sized bronze bottle in his hand to Wang Yongyou, Wang Yongyou reached out with his right palm and grabbed the copper bottle, his hand shrank back, and the bottle was full of wine without spilling a drop. After drinking all the wine in the bottle, Wang Yongyou stepped forward and put the copper bottle back on the table, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Xie Guo gave wine." ”

Zhao Wei glared at the drunken eyes and scolded: "Wang Yongyou, don't be verbose, the wine will be enough for a while, let's talk about the public trial, Brother Jiang is fine." ”

Wang Yongyou recounted the public trial, and Zhao Wei was so angry that he screamed and scolded: "It's really annoying." Big brother, don't stop me, tomorrow I will go to the court to avenge Brother Jiang's grievances. ”

Wang Keming looked up to the sky and sighed, and said: "It's not that I don't speak for Jiang Anyi, it's just that I'm afraid that if I can't defend myself, I will drag him down." The court treated Jiang Anyi like this, how could it convince people, today Ning Hu hit the table angrily, I am afraid that someone will raise the flag and rebel in the future. Let's go, my Wang Keming is a guilty body, in order to protect the country's talents, why not be slandered, and when the trial starts again, I will go to the court to avenge Jiang Anyi. ”

At the right time, the drums sounded, and Zheng Lu stipulated that the drums should be sounded 400 times, and the city gate should be closed. On the city wall of Jinguangmen, Xu Ningxiu, the captain of the prison gate, looked at the warm glow in the distance, and had not gone home for three days on duty.

At the city gate, there are still many people who rush into the city before the city gate is closed, and the drums are already halfway through, and there is no one to see on the official road outside the city. Xu Ning was about to go down to the city, and suddenly saw yellow dust rolling in the distance, and a fast horse galloped over. When the horse galloped into the second mile, Xu Ningxiu could see clearly, the person on the horse was wearing a red scarf, wearing a red-sleeved shirt, and carrying a red and white letter bag, which was a post envoy.

"Get out of the way, let the messenger pass." Xu Ningxiu commanded loudly. The soldiers at the city gate hurriedly drove the people who entered the city to both sides, and the fast horses passed through the city gate with a strong wind, leaving the billowing yellow dust for the people in front of the city gate to talk to each other.

The fast horse stopped in front of the yamen of the military department, and a person on duty in front of the yamen greeted him, and the post man rolled off his horse, sat on the ground and untied the envelope, and said loudly: "Eight hundred miles of urgency, Huazhou military situation emergency." ”

No one dared to delay the urgent report of the military situation, and immediately someone took the letter bag and trotted to send the letter inside, the world post station was supervised by the Ministry of War, Langzhong, at this time the Ministry of War had dispersed, and it was Yang's staff who was on duty tonight. The urgent report is played by the book of Huazhou Thorn Smiths: The Western Regions Coalition Army broke through the defense line of the Anxi Protectorate, the marshal Yang Xiangliang died in battle, the 180,000 troops lost nearly half, retreated to Huiye Mansion, and the Western Regions Coalition Army besieged Huiye Mansion, and asked the court to send troops to rescue quickly.

…………

On February 19, a guest came to the Han Mansion in Wenjin County, and Mrs. Han welcomed him into the secret room. After retiring everyone, Han Yuanshi said, "Brother, where are you from?" ”

Zhou Shaofeng smiled and said: "I am in the camp of the Western Regions Alliance, this time the Western Regions Alliance Army is advancing eastward, and my Great Qi Kingdom has also sent 5,000 soldiers and horses to accompany the expedition. ”

Han Yuanshi was silent, no matter what he said, as a Zheng Guoren, he still didn't want to see the invasion of foreign enemies, but his brother was in the enemy camp, so let him say anything.

"Shaocheng, brother came to see you this time on the order of Emperor Qi." Zhou Shaofeng said. Han Yuanshi thought of Wu Yuanzhen, the emperor of the Great Qi Kingdom who lived in his stable, and asked casually, "Is Your Majesty okay?" ”

Zhou Shaofeng sighed: "Shaocheng, you and I have been separated for eleven years, the news is not clear, the old majesty passed away in the second year of Jianwu, the Great Qi Kingdom has changed the new emperor, it is the nephew of the old emperor Wu Haisheng, Liu Ziwei, Dan Yuanzi, Zheng Pingren and others have all passed away, and only me and Yu Qiusheng are left in the older generation." A generation of new people replace the old, and at present, the Great Qi Kingdom is supported by young people such as Yang Siqi, Li Qing, and Zhao Liangcai, and I only occasionally come forward to help. ”

Holding the white beard on his chest, Zhou Shaofeng sighed: "Brother, I am eighty-four years old this year, and I don't have much time left, and I don't know how many times I can meet you." ”

Han Yuanshi was also a little sad, and sighed: "Brother, I am also a person with three out of seventy, and four generations of the same family can enjoy a family, which is much luckier than my brother." Brother, you are old, don't run around anymore, just live in my house, our brothers get along day and night, brother and I will support my brother for the elderly. If my brother is willing, I will give you one of my grandchildren, and I will spend the next few leaves to inherit your bloodline. ”

Zhou Shaofeng said: "Let's talk about it." I came to see you this time on the orders of Emperor Qi, I want to persuade you to join the Great Qi Kingdom, don't be busy shaking your head first, listen to my brother and I will finish talking before making a decision, you are my only relative in this world, I can't harm you. ”

Han Yuanshi moved his chair uneasily, he was old, he just wanted to live this life in peace, and he didn't want to care about the hatred of the family and the country.

"Shaocheng, the Western Regions Alliance is pressing, do you think the Zheng army can hold it?" Zhou Shaofeng asked.

Han Yuanshi said disapprehantly: "The Western Regions coalition forces often invade, but they are nothing more than grabbing some things and leaving, and when the court sends a large army to help, they will naturally retreat." ”

"This time it's different." Zhou Shaofeng said: "This time the coalition army invaded the Rong Mi country is the leader of the alliance, and the lord of the Rong Mi country is the master of the army, and he has reached an agreement with the countries before advancing eastward to divide the territory of Zheng Guo equally. Nearly half of the county seat of Huazhou had been lost, and the coalition forces did not move the people and loot the supplies, but sent people to drive Zheng Min to plough the fields and prepare for spring plowing and long-term occupation. ”

"The Great Qi State relies on the Rong Mi Kingdom, and there are already two counties in the Western Regions, and in recent years, the Zheng people who have been displaced in the Western Regions have been collected by 50,000 people, plus the old people of the Great Qi who have migrated from the island, the Great Qi State has 100,000 subjects and 5,000 iron horses. The eastward advance, Yang Dashuai led the sons and daughters to seize the Jingmen Pass, made a great contribution, the lord of the Rong Mi country will be Yiding, Hecheng two counties to the Great Qi State, and the Rong Mi territory of Yuanyi County, Ketuo County (the fourth year of the establishment of the Great Qi State from the captain of the chariot half borrowed and half captured) echoed from afar, Yang Siqi Yang Xiang is ready to reclaim the desert within the four counties, the area of the Great Qi State can increase tenfold, then the Great Qi State can be regarded as a real country. Zhou Shaofeng said hopefully.

Han Yuan was unmoved, and said: "After all, the countries of the Western Regions have a small territory and a small population, and Da Zheng has a million heroes, and when Mobei frees up his hand, the Western Regions Alliance will be defeated." ”

Zhou Shaofeng sneered: "Zheng Jun lost 300,000 troops in Mobei, and the four major protectorates were evacuated, and the 60,000 troops who came to the rescue from Mobei this time are already the limit of Zheng Guo, and it is impossible for Zheng Guo to have any more reinforcements in the short term." Brother, I won't tell you anything, Wumo, Wanlu, Piye and other countries saw that the coalition army had won a great victory, and recently gathered 60,000 troops to participate in the war, and the number of coalition troops exceeded 300,000, brother, do you think Yang Xiangliang can hold the front line of Wenjin? The coalition army broke through the defense line of the Zheng army, Wenjin City was burned, brother, there is a plaque of 'Zhongyi Han Mansion' written by Emperor Zheng in your house, and it will definitely become a pond fish that will be affected, do you still have to take the whole family to the city wall like back then, only one of your three sons is left Liangqing, do you have to bury your six grandsons? Pity your dozen great-grandchildren. ”

Han Yuanshi was silent, he was no longer as brave as he used to be, the older he gets, the more he pities his children and grandchildren, and he can't bear to see his children and grandchildren die under the sword and arrow. After a while, Han Yuanshi said: "I will ask Zhiyu and Zhirui to take their families to Huiye Mansion tomorrow for temporary refuge, if it is really not possible, they will go to the capital or go south, Zheng Guo is so big that he can always avoid it." ”

Zhou Shaofeng said: "Shaocheng, you have a plaque of 'Loyal Han Family' in your house, how can you abandon your home and run away, how does the world look at you, and the court will also blame." If the Han family abandons Wenjin County, it is equivalent to abandoning this plaque of loyalty, and people leave their hometowns and are cheap, and when the time comes, countless people will flock to your family property and devour your family property cleanly, can you bear to see your grandchildren under the fence? ”

Han Yuanshi knew that what his brother said was the truth, thinking that his grandchildren and great-grandchildren were all used to living a good life, how could they bear the pain of being displaced, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Brother, if I return to the Great Qi Kingdom, what is the benefit?" ”

Zhou Shaofeng laughed and said: "Brother, as long as you can help the coalition army break through the defense line of the Zheng army, Emperor Qi promised to crown you as the founding prince, and in the future, Liangqing and Zhiyu can inherit this position, and King Rong Mi promised to reward you with 50,000 taels of gold, 100,000 taels of silver, 10,000 cattle, sheep and camels, and 1,000 servants. ”

Han Yuan was really moved, although the Great Qi Country is only a small country with a large sesame seed, and the hereditary founding prince is also a great wealth, even if he doesn't like it, he can let his grandchildren fight, in case the Great Qi Country becomes the climate in the future, his own family can be regarded as the founding merit of the Great Qi Country. Besides, if other people settle down in the Western Regions and spread out, it is impossible for Zheng Guo to fight in the Western Regions.

Thinking of this, Han Yuanshi said: "Brother, I listen to you and help the Great Qi Kingdom, after all, our father is the military secretary of the Great Qi Kingdom, and I am also a descendant of the Great Qi Kingdom." ”

Zhou Shaofeng happily patted Han Yuanshi on the shoulder and said, "Dad must be happy to know that our brothers can return to the Great Qi Kingdom." ”

Han Yuanshi sighed: "It's a pity that the plaque of the 'Loyal Han Family'." ”

Zhou Shaofeng said abruptly: "Your real surname is Zhou, where did you come from the Han family." ”

On 20 February, Han Yuanshi led hundreds of his family to Zhengying to work in the camp and stayed overnight in the camp of his son Han Liangqing. At the time of the third watch, Han Yuanshi led his family to burn the tent as a number, opened the gate of the village, and joined forces to welcome the coalition army to break the village, Yang Xiangliang led the army to counterattack, was outnumbered, and the camp broke and retreated. Yang Siqi led the crowd to ambush and kill halfway, Yang Xiangliang was killed, Zheng Guo defeated Huiye City, and the Western Regions Coalition Army besieged Huiye Mansion.
