Chapter 278: You Have to Convince Me

In order to avoid casualties among his subordinates, Kong Youde had no choice but to give up resistance and surrender directly. Fastest updates

Before Chen Jisheng understood Mao Wenlong's plan, he didn't do anything excessive, but escorted them to Kaifeng City to guard them.

On the same day, a fast horse with the news of Kong Youde went to Ye County non-stop to report to Mao Wenlong.

At night, in the cell where Kong Youde was detained, Chen Jisheng prepared a banquet and drank with Kong Youde. Previously, Kong Youde had already learned about Chen Jisheng's name and knew that he was his former subordinate in the Dongjiang Army.

After two glasses of wine, Kong Youde immediately opened his mouth and asked Chen Jisheng about Mao Wenlong's situation.

Chen Jisheng borrowed the intention of drinking, and did not hide anything, and told in detail about Mao Wenlong's resurrection after being killed by Yuan Chonghuan, until now he has occupied the entire territory of Henan.

Kong Youde frowned when he heard this, he didn't see Mao Wenlong coming back to life on the spot, and naturally had doubts about what Chen Jisheng said. But Mao Wenlong is still alive and well, so it doesn't matter what things are.

Kong Youde is now thinking about whether Mao Wenlong will forgive himself and others, and he didn't say goodbye at that time, leaving that big stall and ignoring it.

Crime, Kong Youde and Shang Kexi both knew that they were guilty, so they also knew it in their hearts and were ready to be punished.

And their only hope was that Mao Wenlong could accept them again, even if it was just a small officer in the Dongjiang Army, they did not have any complaints.

On an errand under Huang Taiji, although the two of them are also important ministers, they are both generals, and they have 50,000 Han banner soldiers under them. But these are just superficial images, and the real military power is actually in the hands of Huang Taiji.

And these Han banner soldiers are also under the surveillance of the Tartar army at all times, if they dare to show any abnormality, they will definitely be beheaded by Huang Taiji at the first time.

Therefore, when Kong Youde and Shang Kexi learned that Mao Wenlong was not dead, the two were so excited and impulsive, and after a little discussion, they decided to come to the adventure to find out the truth.

"What is the relationship between the general soldier and the imperial court now?" After Kong Youde was silent for a while, he suddenly asked Chen Jisheng again.

"What else, now even Henan has been defeated, although the general army is still restrained from confronting the imperial court face to face. But if this continues, it will only be a matter of time before there is a fight. Chen Jisheng pouted.

Kong Youde nodded and asked the question he was most concerned about: "You have always been by the side of the chief soldier, have you ever heard him mention me and Shang Kexi?" ”

Chen Jisheng glanced at Kong Youde, shook his head and said without concealment: "No." ”

A trace of disappointment flashed in Kong Youde's eyes, but he still asked, "Then do you think the chief soldier will accept us this time?" ”

Chen Jisheng still shook his head: "It's really hard to say, but I don't think I will easily accept the general and others." At least until you have proof of it, you really want to come back, and the general soldier may remember the old feelings and accept you again. ”

"Proof? What needs to be proven? Kong Youde's face was full of doubts.

Chen Jisheng laughed and said, "What else can you prove?" Of course, it is a sign of your determination and loyalty! ”

Kong Youde suddenly realized, in fact, he is just a fan of the authorities, what Chen Jisheng said could not be more obvious. Mao Wenlong will definitely not easily believe in himself and Shang Kexi at this time.

A sense of despair lingered in his heart, and Kong Youde no longer had much hope for this return.

However, two days later, news came from Ye County that Mao Wenlong wanted to meet Kong Youde in person.

Chen Jisheng personally escorted him to Ye County, and Kong Youde suddenly rekindled his hope and couldn't wait to see Mao Wenlong.

On the day he received the order, he set off, only Kong Youde went to Yexian alone, and his subordinates still had to stay in Kaifeng City. Kong Youde has no objection to this, and he also believes that these subordinates will not have anything wrong here for the time being.

The two of them and more than 100 guards traveled day and night, and the two-day journey only took a little more than a day to reach Ye County.

Mao Wenlong met Kong Youde in his study.

Thick eyebrows, big eyes, mighty, this is the first time Mao Wenlong met Kong Youde, and it is also his first impression.

"I heard that you and Shang Kexi are now following that Huang Taiji, and your life is not bad, right?" Mao Wenlong said in a strange voice.

Unexpectedly, Mao Wenlong opened his mouth in such a tone, Kong Youde's heart was shocked on the spot, and then he sighed lightly and explained truthfully: "Don't hide it from the general soldier, in fact, we were forced to ...... without saying goodbye at the beginning."

"Needless to say, I never blame you for not saying goodbye. Let's talk about why you chose to defect to Huang Taiji first. After all, I am more concerned about defecting to our mortal enemy. Mao Wenlong chuckled lightly and interrupted Kong Youde's words.

Hearing that Mao Wenlong didn't blame him for saying goodbye, Kong Youde obviously didn't believe it, but after careful observation, he didn't find anything wrong.

After some hesitation, Kong Youde still decided to tell the truth without concealment: "General soldier, we were watched too closely by Yuan Chonghuan at that time, and the road to the inland was completely impassable, so we had to flee into the territory of Tatars. At first, we really didn't think about defecting to Huang Taiji, but soon after entering the Houjin Land Realm, we were surrounded by Huang Taiji's army, and we were captured alive. ”

Mao Wenlong nodded: "Later, Huang Taiji saw that you were talents, so he recruited you, and you agreed, right?" ”

Kong Youde was stunned for a moment, then nodded helplessly and replied: "That's pretty much it." ”

Mao Wenlong obviously didn't believe what Kong Youde said, he sneered: "Then tell me why you are doing well now, and suddenly come to me again, if this can't be explained clearly, then there is no old love to remember." ”

Mao Wenlong became serious, and Kong Youde felt a chill in his heart. Sure enough, as Chen Jisheng said before, Mao Wenlong still cares about this issue. But how can he make it clear now, he can't honestly say that he is having a bad time under Huang Taiji, and he wants to come back to Mao Wenlong, right?

Kong Youde suddenly fell into deep distress, so anxious that he was sweating profusely, but he never came up with a good explanation.

"Why, do you need to hesitate so much even for this reason?" Mao Wenlong's face became even more gloomy.

"How can the general soldier believe that we really want to come back?" Kong Youde was forced to be anxious, and simply picked out the problem and said, it can be seen that he really has no choice.
