Chapter 140: Crying Daling River City
He Kegang's body was slumped, his whole body began to convulse, and his eyes lost concentration.
Bai Zhicheng, Xiao Yang, and Sima Jian knelt in front of the bed and shouted anxiously, "General, how are you?" You must hold on, General! ”
He Kegang's whole body trembled, his lips squirmed, but he couldn't speak.
Xiao Yang punched the ground fiercely, and said sadly: "It must be Zu Zeqing's dog-ri who drugged the general!" They're going to kill the general! Lao Tzu went to chop him! ”
As he spoke, Xiao Yang stood up suddenly, pulled out the saber at his waist with a choked sound, and was about to rush out to find Zu Zeqing desperately in anger.
Bai Zhicheng hurriedly stopped Xiao Yang and said, "General Xiao, calm down!" We have no evidence now, so we run over like this, will Zu Zeqing admit it? Maybe when the time comes, it will be bad to say that you and I are guilty of making trouble! ”
"Yes! General Xiao, the most important thing at the moment is how to save the general? Sima Jian also said.
"But what are we going to do with the general? Now that even Lang Zhong is dead in the army, and the medicine is gone, what should the general do? Xiao Yang said bitterly. He has no father and mother since he was a child, and he has been wandering for more than ten years, and then He Kegang took him in, took him with him, and promoted him step by step to become a general. In his heart, he has long regarded He Kegang as his dearest relative.
"Otherwise, I will take a few people out of the city secretly, and no matter what, I will go to Jinzhou to find Lang Zhong to prescribe some medicine to the general and come back, this is also a way out of the way." Bai Zhicheng thought for a while and said.
Sima Jian shook his head and said, "No! Not to mention that there is a circle of Tartars outside, even in our military camp, I suspect that it is also surrounded by them, and whether it can get out of the city is a question. ”
"That's right! Since they have decided to surrender, they will definitely think of guarding against the general! Now they are all torn their faces and attack the general, what else can't be done! If you want me to say, let's go back quietly now, gather our brothers, and go to ask Zu Shuai for justice! Xiao Yang said angrily.
"This ......" White City hesitated. There are not many soldiers and horses under He Kegang's account, and there are about 3,000 people now, and the others are basically the descendants of Zu Dashou. What's more, these 3,000 men and horses want them to fight with outsiders, but now they want to make a move against the head of the Liaodong army, Zu Shuai, I'm afraid that few of these people really dare to do it.
One is a huge disparity in strength, the other is that Zu Shuai is their boss, and there are still 100,000 Tartars outside the third city, if their own people fight in the nest first, it will be easier for the Tartars to break through Dalinghe City.
And now that the soldiers are all hungry and weak, who wants to fight a civil war?
"Xiao Yang ......" He Kegang, who was lying on the bed, suddenly spoke miraculously, Bai Zhicheng, Xiao Yang, and Sima Jian hurriedly knelt in front of the bed and shouted happily: "General! ”
He Kegang's eyes were slightly closed, and his throat squirmed with difficulty, and said, "Don't ...... Don't, blame, Zu Shuai...... Take, big, big picture, for the ...... Heavy ......"
As he spoke, He Kegang tilted his head and hung his hands weakly.
"General!"
"General!"
"General!"
Bai Zhicheng, Xiao Yang, and Sima Jian were shocked, and they all stepped forward and shook He Kegang's body, calling out in grief.
He Kegang didn't react, and his pale face had long since lost his color. He's gone. Walked so bleakly, walked so tragically. Compared with the history of He Kegang who was pushed by Zu Dashou to be beheaded outside the city of Dalinghe in order to win the trust of Huang Taiji, and finally was eaten by the hungry people, now He Kegang finally fell into a whole corpse.
The wailing and crying of the three attracted the guards outside the tent, and more than a dozen soldiers poured into He Kegang's tent. The soldiers were immersed in great grief and wept, beating their chests and heartbroken one by one.
But there are exceptions. One of the personal soldiers, Liu Erdan, saw He Kegang lying upright on the hospital bed motionless, his heart beat wildly, and then he also cried bitterly. After crying for a while, Liu Erdan quietly slipped out while people were not paying attention.
The rain was pouring incessantly, and the water on the ground was ankle-deep, and the torrential rain still had no intention of stopping.
Perhaps, even the heavens are crying, crying why the good people in the world always don't live long, but the bad people and the wicked can leave a legacy for thousands of years. Why did He Kegang dedicate himself to public service and do his best for the Ming Dynasty, but in the end he ended up like this - he was executed by his boss and brother.
In Zu Dashou's tent, Zu Dashou wandered alone with his hands behind his back, listening to the sound of the raging rainstorm outside, and couldn't help but sigh for a long time.
"Father." Zu Zerun walked in and said, "This weather is also strange, why is it raining so heavily in autumn!" I heard that the troops and horses that came to reinforce during the day were soaked in heavy rain because of the muskets, and they were also defeated by the golden soldiers......"
"yes, big brother, what should we do now? The reinforcements of the imperial court will not come again, and we people can't live without a way out! Big brother, you have an idea! Zu Dale came in with Zu Zerun, and said at this time.
Zu Dashou turned around and glanced at his son and younger brother, but did not speak.
Zu Zerun stepped forward and said, "Father, it's not a way to go on like this!" Why don't you go talk to Shi Yanzhu? ”
Shi Yanzhu is the general of the Jin soldiers, because he has some friendship with some generals in the Zu Dashou army, he has been on the order of Huang Taiji to persuade Zu Dashou to surrender a few days ago, but Zu Dashou has not seen him every time.
Zu Dashou glanced at Zu Zerun, pondered for a while, and said, "Be careful, don't let He Zhongjun know." ”
Zu Zerun nodded knowingly and said, "Father don't worry......"
At this moment, Zu Zeqing and Zu Kefa walked in and said with a smile: "Father, don't worry, He Zhongjun will not come against his father again." ”
Zu Dashou was stunned for a moment, and didn't understand what Zu Zeqing meant for a while, so he was stunned for a moment and said, "Qing'er, what did you mean just now?" ”
Zu Zeqing said with a relaxed face: "Father, the child just learned the news that He Zhongjun has passed away!" ”
"What did you say?!" Zu Dashou was taken aback, although he was angry that He Kegang was stubborn and refused to surrender, but he didn't think about killing him. How can this be said that death is death?
Zu Zeqing pursed his lips and said: "Father, why are you so excited, He Zhongjun has repeatedly opposed you, and he is stunned to let the brothers starve and eat dead flesh and refuse to surrender to Jiannu, wouldn't it be easier for him to die, no one will object, and the brothers can live." ”
The words are good, but ...... Zu Dashou still felt that something was wrong.
"You made your hands and feet in that bowl of broth?" Zu Dashou looked at Zu Zeqing and said.
