Chapter 283: Counterinsurgency (I)
Under the warm spring sun, the eerie sneer on the prince's lips was faint, "Chill."
Qin Zhong stared at the prince blankly, and an ominous thought couldn't help but rise in his heart.
"Qin Chong. Three days ago, you sent someone to secretly send your parents, wife, and children out of the city and settle them in a village. I'm sorry. I've just taken all your family members. Qin Chong, I know that you are a capable person, don't live up to my expectations of you, kill Fang Zheng now, and I will reunite your family
The prince looked coldly at Qin Chong, whose face was pale, and the sneer on the corner of his mouth deepened: "Your son is only one year old, and you Qin Chong is still only one son at the age of thirty
Qin Chong's body was shaky, standing on the city tower, he closed his eyes in pain, his face was like gold paper, cold sweat couldn't stop dripping, a pair of fists clenched, and released. It shows a lot of inner struggle.
"Wow! You bastard! It's despicable! Actually blackmailed his family, you are still not human? The etiquette and shame have all been thrown out of the clouds by you? You wait, your dad will lead the army to kill in a while, you see if he will rip your pants and beat your ass in front of tens of thousands of soldiers," Fang Zheng jumped on the city tower and scolded.
The prince didn't answer, staring at the pale Qin Zhong and couldn't help but sneer.
Fang Zheng inadvertently looked sideways, but saw that Qin Chong's painful eyes were just right on Fang Zheng, and then his eyes changed. It seems to be hesitant and fierce, and it is complicated and difficult to understand.
Fang Zheng was taken aback! Unconsciously took a step back: "You" you, you don't take it seriously, do you? Don't be stupid, I have so many guards, I'll beat you up" Besides, your family doesn't deserve to die, and I don't deserve to die."
Seeing that the situation was not good, the guards behind him hurriedly blocked in front of Fang Zheng, drew their blades, and dozens of people were waiting in battle. Stared intently at Qin Chong.
"Qin Chong, you, don't be impulsive"
Qin Chong stared at Fang Zheng, his face was cloudy, and a chilling murderous aura gradually spread among the city towers, causing the guards and shadow subordinates on the city tower to widen their eyes, looking at Qin Chong for a moment, although the two sides were speechless, but the smell of saber rattling made everyone's nerves tense.
Although Qin Chong was robbed of military power by Fang Zheng, he has been practicing martial arts diligently since he was a child, and his skills are naturally excellent, it may be an exaggeration to say that he is not a good man, but it should not be a big problem to put these dozens of guards in front of Fang Zheng. The guards all knew Qin Chong's identity, so they held swords in their hands, as if they were facing a great enemy, as long as Qin Chong's body shape moved slightly, they would not hesitate to swing their swords forward.
Fang Zheng hid behind the guards, looking at Qin Chong coldly from the gap in the crowd, to be honest, he was very sympathetic to Qin Chong, the prince under the city tower was riding on a horse, and easily gave Qin Chong such a problem.
The dilemma of loyalty and filial piety, any man encounters such a topic, he must not know how to choose, this topic is too heavy, the meaning of "dilemma" is small, which means that he has chosen one of them, and he has to give up the other.
Fang Zheng asked himself, if he encountered such a perverted question, how would he answer?
With his temperament, the answer seems to be not much to consider, it must be to choose his family, as for "loyalty and patriotism"; Young Master Fang knew the word Dan, but he didn't quite understand what it meant. He has loyalty, and when he has nothing to do, he occasionally worries about the country and the people. It is a pastime, but when compared to one's own family, this little loyalty is too insignificant.
Long. Qin Zhong suddenly let out a long sigh, and sat down on the stone steps by the running track of the city tower with a desperate expression, as if he had exhausted all the strength of his body.
Fang Zheng separated from the guards, walked in front of Qin Chong, blinked and smiled, "What? Figured it out? ”
Qin Zhong raised his eyes to look at Fang Zheng, his eyes were full of hatred and hesitation, extremely complicated.
The prince waited for a long time under the city tower but did not reply, and couldn't help but start to get anxious, the pursuers behind him could arrive at any time, and if he didn't hurry up and enter the city, he and his remnants would really go to a big deal.
"Bring all of Qin Chong's family up!" The prince gritted his teeth and shouted.
Qin Chong trembled when he heard this, and stood up involuntarily. Two steps to the arrow stack, looking out.
Downstairs in the city. The rebel soldiers escorted several men dressed in civilian costumes to the tower, where they were bound all over. The mouth was also gagged with a cloth towel, and under the urging of the soldiers. Staggered.
Qin Zhong stood on the city tower and screamed sadly, tears fell from the tiger's eyes, and bean-sized tears covered his entire face in an instant.
"Daddy. Mother, and the mother, my son, woo, I Qin Zhong is incompetent, I can't serve the country and loyalty, I can't protect the family, the five-foot Angzang man, what face does he stand in heaven and earth"
The voice was poignant. Like the mournful roar of a trapped beast, every word was filled with blood and tears, so that the guards and soldiers behind Fang Zheng couldn't help but redden.
Loyalty and filial piety are incomplete. forced General Qin to make a choice. It's hard for him. The people around him couldn't help but tear tears of sympathy for him.
"Daddy. Mother. The child has listened to your teachings since he was a child, and the monarch and the ministers dare not dare or forget, today the prince threatens with your life to force the child to do that disloyal thing, the child is not filial, and he does not dare to use his own selfishness to implicate the people of the world and suffer from the war again, and suffer from the dispersion, father, mother, just suffer from you! Today's children are accompanied by death, and we will have a family reunion on Huangquan Road" Qin Chong burst into tears, and the burly and stout man cried like a child.
When the prince heard it downstairs, his face turned pale, and when he heard Qin Chong's resolute tone, he seemed to have made up his mind. He would rather die than submit to him, which made the prince feel a wave of panic and fear.
Qin Chong's family is the last bargaining chip in his hand, if Qin Chong refuses to give in, this bargaining chip will be useless. And he himself must also face the fate of being surrounded and annihilated by his father's army, and the hesitant Xie Ding Gongzi's body trembled, and he wanted to order Qin Chong's family to be beheaded several times. But after all, Huai Fei Qin Mupi said.
On the castle tower. Fang Zheng took out a handkerchief, wiped his tears vigorously, then wiped his nose again, and choked up: "It's so touching" Woo woo, so sensational, deceived people so many tears, I hate it to death, who made up this drama? ”
Qin Chong raised his eyes and glared angrily when he heard this
Fang Zheng patted Qin Chong's shoulder while wiping his tears, and pointed to the downstairs of the city: "General Qin, although you cry very touchingly and your lines are also very heroic, of course, you are a little bit bloody, but please recognize people clearly before starting the show?" "The few people tied up downstairs in the city, are they really your family?" You don't like me to recognize relatives, do you? It's not a good problem
"Huh?" Including Qin Chong, everyone on the city tower froze.
Qin Zhong hurriedly wiped his tears, stared down, and soon, the grief on his face suddenly turned into endless ecstasy and doubt.
"What's going on with this "This isn't my family?" Qin Chong's face was full of tears and snot, and he stammered.
"Woo woo" you recognize it carefully, don't admit it wrong, I'll cry for a while, woo woo, it's so touching. I've gone deep into the play, I can't extricate myself, you don't care about me "woo"
General Fang wiped his tears and squatted in the corner of the wall, and people were moved.
Qin Zhong pulled his hair frantically and said, "Can anyone tell me, what the hell is going on?" ”
Vincent sneered beside him, glanced at Fang Zheng and smiled, opening his mouth to speak, but he still held back.
The prince downstairs also noticed that something was wrong, and looked at the Qin Chong family who were tied up with a suspicious expression.
Half a day. Fang Zheng finally "pulled" out of the touching drama, and sighed long: "There is true love in the world, and a red apricot comes out of the wall" is very in line with my current mood! ”
Seeing that everyone was staring at him with cold expressions, especially Qin Chong; His face was hideous, his expression was excited, if Fang Zheng sold Guan Zi again, I believe he would slap Fang Zheng to the city tower without hesitation.
"Oh. The other day, my shadow was sneaking out of town with a wagon, and you know, my men were nosy guys, so they couldn't help but follow them all the way, and found the carriage stopped in a village, and the old family came out of the carriage. I lived in a farmhouse, and my subordinates felt that they were idle, and they had nothing to do anyway, so they had fun. Unknowingly, the old and young of the family were profited, and now they are living well in a safe place, and not a single hair has been lost
The prince was about to go crazy when he heard it downstairs, and he pointed at the family tied up in front of him frantically, and shouted, "Then who are these?" ”
Fang Zheng scratched his head and recalled, "It seems to be the family of Guo Shilang of the household department."
Then. Fang Zheng smiled embarrassedly at the crown prince: "I heard that Guo Shilang is a die-hard fan of His Royal Highness the Prince, and his family fell into your hands, presumably Guo Shilang is also very grateful, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince feels unhappy, even if he cuts them, anyway, Guo Shilang is a chaotic party with you, and he committed the capital crime of the Jiu clan, and it may be more comfortable to die in your hands."
The prince's head was dizzy, and he almost fell into the chariot.
"You" Why did you exchange Guo Shilang's family for Qin Chong's family? What is your intention in doing this? ”
Fang Zheng said unhappily: "Look at what you said, our shadow work has always been from beginning to end, and we are very professional, Qin Chong's family was taken away by us, and we must find a family to replace him." It just so happened that Guo Shilang's family was also sent to this village for refuge, so we drugged them unconscious. Borrow it for the time being
Everyone couldn't help but sweat profusely, looking at Fang Zheng, who was smiling green and harmless, and couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
This Lord Fang is simply "too bad, so bad that it is oily in his bones." Oh no how he came up with this. There is no lack of moral idea to give birth to a son, and the prince is against him, and he really has eight lifetimes of blood mold.
The prince stood on the chariot, his chest was churning with blood and his throat was sweet, and he resisted the urge to look up to the sky and spurt blood.
The last chip in his hand turned out to be not a chip at all. It's worse than toilet paper in a thatched house
Pushing away Fan Rui, who was supporting him, the prince drew his sword with trembling hands. Like a wounded trapped beast, he roared: "Order" the whole army to attack the city! ”
Fan Rui was shocked, grabbed the prince's hand and said hurriedly: "Your Highness." Cannot! We have less than 10,000 long-worn soldiers. The other side has 50,000 soldiers to defend the city, and the art of war is cloudy: ten will surround it, and double it will attack it, our troops and morale are not enough."
On the castle tower. Fang Zheng was also taken aback by the prince's siege order, and his eyes widened and he was stunned: "This guy won't be mad, right?" With his army of less than 10,000 people, Hanako wants to attack the city? I want to find myself dead to jump the moat,"
"My lord, the prince seems to be really mad at you
"Oh? Is it? Then I'll add another fierce medicine to him, "Come on, go and ask the princess to come out."
Soon. The crown princess, dressed in a white dress and plain skirt, appeared on the city tower. She looked at the prince who had lost her demeanor and kept shouting under the city tower with a complicated expression, her beautiful eyes blinked twice, and two lines of tears fell.
Wen Sen and the guards saw that Lord Fang invited the crown princess, knowing that it was to persuade the prince to surrender, so everyone did not speak. They all took a step back, and on the edge of the arrow battlements of the city tower, only Fang Zheng and the crown princess were left, one was draped in silver armor, and the other was draped. The white clothes are fluttering, and they are particularly conspicuous on the city tower built with black and blue stone bricks.
Of course, the prince downstairs also saw it, and when he saw the crown princess standing beside Fang Zheng indifferently and quietly, he couldn't help but be shocked, and the whole person was stunned.
However, this Lord Fang always likes to do something unexpected, just when everyone thought that the eldest princess was going to open her mouth to persuade her to surrender, Fang Zheng rolled up her sleeves and said in her heart: "Damn! I just watched you play the bad guy, and it seems that you played it quite enjoyable. Now it's time for Lao Tzu to play the bad guy."
Under the stunned gaze of everyone, Fang Zheng looked up to the sky proudly and arrogantly, and then shouted: "The people downstairs in the city are listening to Lao Tzu, now that the crown princess has fallen into the hands of Lao Tzu, hurry up and lose money" No, quickly put down her weapons obediently, raise your hands and surrender, otherwise, Lao Tzu will rape her first and then kill her, and then rape and then kill
Everyone fell.
I thought that Lord Fang insisted on inviting the princess to go up to the city tower to persuade him to surrender, and he made trouble for a long time just to take advantage of the fire to rob him, "Lord Fang and the prince are really half a catty, so despicable that they are indistinguishable, and they are not equal."
The crown princess's face turned blue, trembling and her delicate body glared angrily.
Fang Zheng hurriedly laughed and said in a low voice: "This is to shake the military spirit of the rebels, don't blame the mother."
"Amitabha, sin, sin,"
"That is, what a sin it is to lead an army to rebel and kill so many people
"The poor nun is saying that you are guilty!" ”
The prince was so angry that he almost fainted again, his lips trembled, and he pointed at Fang Zheng and scolded angrily: "Fang Zheng! You are so despicable! Actually blackmailed my family, you are still not human? The etiquette and shame have all been thrown out of the clouds by you? Small.
Fang Zheng frowned, touched his lips and said in confusion: "Huh? It's a little familiar, as if I've heard it somewhere,"
Wen Sen stepped forward with black lines on his head: "My lord, isn't this what you scolded the prince just now?" Authentic
"This guy doesn't even use his brains to scold, and then add another charge to him, plagiarism!"
"Your Excellency is wise and powerful!"
The crown princess pressed her hands on the arrow stack, her beautiful eyes rippled with tears, she looked at the prince deeply, and mourned: "Your Highness" Don't insist on going your own way and create another killing. Throw in the towel! The concubine is willing to accompany you to the father to ask for sin, the father will definitely spare your life for the sake of you being the eldest son, Your Highness, enough, enough, tens of thousands of lives have arrived on the road to your emperor's hegemony, and now you are broken and sunk in the sand, the corpses outside the city are all over the field, and the ground is full of mourning, and the killing has been too much, and you will eventually eat the consequences, Your Highness. Throw in the towel
In the end, the crown princess couldn't stop crying.
The prince's face twitched, stared at his bloodshot eyes, pointed to the castle tower and shouted, "Shut up! You follow the orders of men to disturb the hearts of our army? Before the battle, he persuaded his husband to surrender. Where is the virtue of women? How many thousands of years of deeds, that is, the woman hinders them, and even succeeds in failure! Archer. Shoot the arrows! Shoot me that one. Slut! ”
The voice network fell. More than one of the archers in the remnants of the army took arrows and shot towards the city tower, and the dense arrows like locusts flew overwhelmingly towards Fang Zheng and the mourning and weeping princess of the city tower.
Fang Zheng was shocked and hurriedly shouted, "Shield hand come forward!" ”
Hundreds of soldiers holding shields grabbed a few steps, and the shields quickly closed together, protecting the two of them in the middle, forming an impermeable protective shell, only the sound of clanging arrows on the shield could be heard, this round of arrow rain seemed to be fierce and fast, but in fact it did not play a big role.
The prince looked at the towering and thick city walls of the capital in a daze, his eyes were glazed, and he muttered, "I haven't lost yet." I haven't lost yet, I can still fight
Fan Rui knelt in front of the prince and cried: "Your Highness, the capital is no longer possible, you can't hesitate any longer, order the withdrawal of the army to the north, the pursuit of troops is coming, and then it will really be all over!" ”
"No, I'd rather die than be the dog who lost his family in fear all his life, chased and fled all my life,"
"Your Highness! Anyway, it's better than dying here! Only if we save our lives, can we try to do big things again, let's withdraw quickly, as soon as the chasing soldiers arrive, we won't be able to escape"
As soon as Fan Rui's voice fell, he only heard a commotion in the rear army, and then, three terrible screams sounded at the same time in the east, west, and north, and three arrows exploded in the air, accompanied by the sound of drums, and three armies suddenly emerged around, and their banners were clear. Fresh clothes and bright armor, with the momentum of wind and thunder, surged up like a tide, and the rebel soldiers had no time to escape, and the three-way army had firmly surrounded them outside the northern city wall of the capital, as strong as an iron bucket.
The three-way army walked in a neat pace, the shield hand was in front, the spear was behind, and the archers were in the middle of the formation, like three thick copper walls and iron walls, surrounding the prince's rebels in the middle, the encirclement became smaller and smaller, and the rebels retreated in fear until they shrunk into a dense group, their morale was exhausted, and even the weapons in their hands could not be held steadily, a strong sense of fear, and the murderous aura exuded by the three-way army, made their hands and feet weak, and even began to appear a large group of soldiers kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy.
Far away. Feng Qiudao shouted violently: "By the Holy Order." To quell the rebellion and suppress the rebellion, you quickly put down your weapons. Those who dare to resist the heavenly soldiers will punish the nine clans! ”
Fan Rui's face turned pale, his whole body seemed to be drained of strength, collapsed and collapsed on the ground, looked at the prince and muttered, "It's over, it's all over."
The prince looked desperate and miserable, and cast a resentful gaze at the castle tower. I can't tell if he hates Fang Zheng or Qin Chong, or if he hates Shi for not giving me time, and hates God for not giving him this opportunity,
Forthwith. The prince began to laugh wildly, he looked up at the blue sky after the spring rains, laughed hoarsely, and laughed so hard that he burst into tears.
"What kind of rebellion, what kind of chaos to suppress, I am the prince! It's mine all day! As soon as my father died, I ascended the throne as the emperor, and I was the son of heaven, and I did everything right, because I was the emperor! You rebels and thieves dare to speak out to quell the rebellion, it's a big joke! ”(
