Chapter 7 Destroying the withering and decaying
Dong Dazai looked back with contempt on his face, but saw that it was the Ministry of Rites Shangshu who had white hair and walked tremblingly. Dong Dazai said angrily in his heart: This old immortal! Why aren't you dead yet?
Master Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites bowed to the ground, raised his body with difficulty, and said: "The destruction of the Tiger Ben camp is imminent, and the red turban bandits are in full swing, and they should not be underestimated. The old minister thought that when the old general Yan and the hussar battalion were together, they attacked left and right and eliminated the confidant of the red turban bandits. As for the Taiping bandits, although they are violent, they are strong on the outside and strong in the middle, and they are vulnerable, so there is no need to worry. ”
The ministers showed a look of sarcasm, and Dong Dazai sneered: "Lord Fang, this is raising the arrogance of bandits and destroying their own prestige!" Lord Fang, you are really square! Do you want to keep the Taiping bandits for the New Year? Or is it an allusion to General Yan's incompetence in military training? ”。
Lord Fang looked ahead, and said without looking back: "The old minister doesn't have so many crooked eyes, just for the sake of the country, what's wrong?" ”。
One of the courtiers quickly walked out, bowed and saluted, "Holy Lord, Lord Dazai is blindly partial to Old General Yan. The minister heard that General Yan abused his subordinates and killed innocents indiscriminately, and his reputation was extremely poor. His Majesty thought that General Yan was not suitable for the post of commander. ”
The military department Shangshu also hurriedly said: "Yes, the Holy Mingjian." He also admitted that he had mistreated his subordinates and killed innocent people indiscriminately, and said that these were the result of Dazai-sama's blind connivance. Forcing the defenders of the same state was also caused by Dong Dazai's indiscriminate killing of innocents! ”
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen ministers went out to impeach Dong Dazai for secretly colluding with General Yan Lao to undermine military discipline and the dynasty. Dong Dazai indiscriminately killed innocents and forced the defenders of Tongzhou to rebel, and the old story was also brought up.
Dazai-sama was a little confused: This is just a good discussion, why did the wind suddenly change direction and become a criticism meeting? It seems that someone has premeditated it in private.
Li Hongji said quietly and lightly: "It was the widow who gave General Yan the right to kill and seize arbitrariness, if you are dissatisfied with General Yan, just face the widow directly." As for Dazai-sama, he is a dictator of politics and has worked hard, and although there are small mistakes, I have forgiven him. Anyone who impeached the old general and Dazai today will be fined one year's imprisonment, and there is no need to mention this matter again. ”
Dong Dazai raised his sleeves tremblingly and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He secretly gritted his teeth and said: Okay, when I find out the mastermind behind the scenes, let's ride a donkey and read the record book, and we'll see! Fight me? I can't kill you!
In Prince Gong's mansion, the dozen or so courtiers who had been fined were standing with their heads bowed with pale faces, and Prince Gong, who was sitting in the center, let out a hearty laugh.
He glanced at the dejected ministers and said, "Look at your little bit of interest! Isn't it just a year of fine? In a little while, he will come to my account, and each of them shall withdraw two years' salary. This time it was supposed to be a test of the waters, and the saint praised Dong Dazai last time, didn't he change his words this time, was he wrong? As long as he adds another fire next time, it will be a matter of time before his head surnamed Dong falls to the ground! ”
The courtiers were overjoyed, and their faces became lively. Prince Gong picked up the teacup, took a sip and continued: "The Holy Lord protects General Yan so much, just to let him calm down the bandits and contribute to the country. Think about it, if General Yan is unfavorable this time, what will happen to the Holy One? You only need to help Old General Yan to help, let him return in vain or even be slightly frustrated, and the Holy Dragon Yan will be furious, and he will be severely punished. ”
The ministers looked at each other with a sense of understanding.
Outside the city of Qingzhou, there is a tide of soldiers and horses.
After forcibly crossing the Thousand Rivers, it took only ten days for the Red Turban Army to completely turn Qingzhou Mansion into an isolated city. The capital and county towns of the outer states and counties either raised white flags and surrendered, or were conquered by lightning. It's really devastating, and it's like a bamboo.
The snowflakes are fluttering, and the north wind is bleak. Bursts of hot air erupted from the thick nostrils of the "Black Panther", turning into bursts of white mist. General Guan, who was on the horse, calmly commanded his subordinates to tie hemp rope and rags to the hooves of the horses and the soles of the foot plates of the foot soldiers, which was equivalent to a simple "snow chain". Guan Yu's offensive order for his team was: "Swing Qingzhou, go home for the New Year", the soldiers laughed and gladly accepted and deeply liked this password, and everyone would shout at each other with a smile on their faces.
In the empty courtyard, Yang Mingyi stood with his hands behind his back for a long time, he silently pricked up his ears, listening to the people outside the city shouting and neighing, his heart was surging, and his imagination was soaring. Drifting Snow has whitened his eyebrows and beard, and if he changes his costume and wears Little Red Riding Hood, he can play Santa Claus. But it was evident that he lacked pleasure at the moment, and his sallow face flushed with a flush of returning light.
There was a rustling of footsteps behind him, and Yang Mingyi looked back indifferently, but saw Wang Yuanlang, the "secretary of the military department", walking over with a solemn face with a military general dressed all over his body.
The two knelt down in front of Yang Mingyi in the snow and saluted, Yang Mingyi raised his chin slightly, and said, "Get up, how is the city defense arranged?" How long can the grain and grass last? ”。
The military general got up and clasped his fists and said: "Rest assured, Grandpa Guo, my Qingzhou Mansion has abundant grain and grass reserves, and it will not be a problem to support the defenders in the city for a year and a half!" ”。
Yang Mingyi strangely glanced at Wang Yuanlang, who was still kneeling on the ground and refused to get up, and asked, "What did Lord Shangshu say?" ”
Wang Yuanlang raised his head tremblingly, and said with a pale face: "Grandpa Guo, minister...... The minister risked his life to admonish, the general trend of our army has gone, there is no rescue outside, even if it lasts for another year and a half, there is little hope. As...... It's better to surrender Kaesong and leave a way for everyone to live! ”。
Yang Mingyi's eyes suddenly widened with anger, and he reprimanded: "Those who are greedy for life and afraid of death!" This fair day is also a good treat for you, at this critical moment of life and death, you should be more angry with the enemy, and focus on how to deal with the enemy. You only care about your personal safety, believe it or not, I'll kill you right now?! ”。
Wang Yuanlang knelt and crawled half a step, grabbed Yang Mingyi's foot and neck and cried and said: "Grandpa Guo, the Great Qi Imperial Court has abandoned us a long time ago, and everyone knows it. And the messenger you sent to the steppe tribe to bring rescue troops has not been heard from, and there is no hope at all. Instead of stubbornly resisting, it is better to protect yourself with wisdom, everyone can still have a way to live! ”。
Yang Mingyi, who was furious, kicked Wang Yuanlang far away, pulled out his dangling sword casually, and stepped forward.
Wang Yuanlang, who was covered in snow, got up from the ground and said with a smile: "Grandpa Guo, we have indeed enjoyed two days of wealth and peace with you, why don't you deign to be tired and send the brothers a great fortune?" ”。
Yang Mingyi, who didn't know why, was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't figure out what kind of medicine he was selling in Wang Yuanlang's gourd.
When it was too late, the cold light flashed, and a stream of blood splattered on the white snow, and Yang Mingyi's head rolled and went out far away.
The armored military general behind him raised his leg and stepped on Yang Mingyi's corpse, rubbing the bloody steel knife back and forth on his clothes a few times, wiping away the bloodstains.
Wang Yuanlang hurriedly walked a few steps forward and said, "Hurry up and take a box and put up his head, I heard that the cannon has been fired outside the city!" It's not too late for the horse to gallop to the city gates! Order the defenders to raise the white flag immediately".
Guan Yu looked at the black city head very strangely, after a burst of fierce artillery fire, the enemy troops defending the city were quiet, as if they were all dead, and there was no reaction.
Zhang Baiqian beside him was surprised: "General Guan, what the hell is the other party doing?" ”。
Guan Yu pondered for a moment, grinned and spat out a mouthful of white mist and said with a smile: "Qingzhou City is self-defeating, let the brothers put away the guys and prepare to enter the city to drink!" ”。
Before the words fell, a white flag was suddenly erected high at the head of Qingzhou City, accompanied by heavy snow, fluttering with the north wind.
Immediately afterwards, the city gate was opened, and a group of people led by Wang Yuanlang held trays in their hands, and went out of the city gate to kneel in the snow.
Among the trays was the freshly baked head of the "Loyal Guogong" Yang Mingyi, who was still steaming.
Heavy snow is blowing and overwhelming. Whether it is the Tiger Camp or the Black Flag Army, it was completely destroyed and disappeared into the vast snowfield of history.
Mountain dance silver snake, original Chi wax elephant, ask the vast earth, who is the master of ups and downs?
"It's snowing," Bars muttered as he took a sip of his wine and looked thoughtfully at the falling snowflakes outside the tent. Aslan of the Tatar tribe drunkenly patted Unabatur on the shoulder and said, "Your Highness, the eldest son of the Khan, our two mothers...... No, we have to do two big bowls, and we are relatives. ”
"Relatives?" Unabatur looked Aslan up and down a few times, not having the slightest impression of the stranger in front of him.
Aslan waved his hand indifferently and said, "It seems that you are really a noble person who forgets things!" Back then, Ebony Ku came to my tribe to marry Sulunga, and you led the team! Sulunga is the most delicate flower of our tribe, a beautiful rainbow given to our tribe by the Immortal Heaven, and I have always loved her deeply! But the ruthless tribal leader forced him to marry your brother in order to lick your Kates' **! Which point of the ebony library is comparable to Lao Tzu? You say! ”。
Aslan's eyes turned red as his voice grew louder and louder, and he reached out and grabbed Unabatur's neck and shouted, "Is Sulunga doing well now?" Day and night, I never forgot her! Your brother has robbed my sweetheart, and I'm going to kill him! ”。
Seeing this, Bars hurriedly gave Agudammu and Chagan Timur a look, and the two of them rushed forward to break Aslan's big hand, and apologized to Unabatur with a smile and said, "He drank too much, don't pay attention to him!" ”。
Seeing that Aslan was still struggling to get up, Agudam angrily pulled out the dagger on the table and shouted: "If you are not honest, believe it or not, I will kill you immediately?" ”。
Unabatur waved his hand gloomily and said, "Let him go!" Ebony Ku is dead. ”
Aslan jerked up his upper body and roared, "What about Sulunga? Where is she now? ”。
Unabatur and Alatan looked at each other, speechless. When we were evacuated, everyone was sad and panicked, and no one cared, and it seemed that the beautiful Sulunga really didn't see anyone alive or dead.
