Wei Zhongquan on the side hurriedly confessed, he also had a certain responsibility for such an attack on the Holy Driver at the station of the Blue Dragon Legion.

Seeing this, Kong Shangxian hurriedly came out to relieve the siege: "Your Majesty, when Weichen was supervising the construction, he had paid special attention to these generals, although they had a certain ability to command the army, but there were also many problems, and they couldn't change the bad habits of the nobles...... Anyway, it's useless to keep it, so it's better to simply kill them all. ”

His words suddenly made the faces of the remaining nineteen Zheng Guojiang on the school field change greatly.

And what made them even more desperate was that Emperor Cangguo also recognized Kong Shangxian's suggestion, nodded and said, "What Aiqing said is...... However, isn't it your suggestion to take these captives for your own use and find a way out for them, why suddenly change your opinion......

Kong Shangxian bowed and said: "Your Majesty Mingjian, Weichen is thinking about those ordinary soldiers, they are innocent ordinary people, only because of Zheng Kang's own selfishness, they were conscripted as peasant soldiers, and they were forced to become a member of the invasion of Cangguo, and there is no great sin." And these nobles surrendered to the generals, and the ministers thought that except for one or two people, the rest could be killed! ”

One or two......

Yang Mu glanced at Kong Shangxian in surprise, and immediately understood his hint, so he turned his head to look at those Zheng Guo generals, and said in a deep voice: "It's a pity that you have succeeded in provoking me...... Come, press them all to the ground! ”

When the guards heard this, they rushed up and pressed the nineteen Zheng generals to the ground, and at the same time, the surrounding archers held their bows and arrows and aimed them at the generals, just waiting for Yang Mu to give the last order.

And just as Yang Mu was about to speak, all the generals knelt on the ground and shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty, I am truly obedient!"

"Your Majesty spares my life, I am truly obedient!"

"Master Kong said, one or two of us are sincerely obedient, and I am one of them!"

"Me too! I didn't want to invade Cangguo, it was all forced by Zheng Kang! ”

Seeing this, Yang Mu raised his hand and motioned to the guards to stop for the time being, and said to them: "Since you keep saying that you are sincerely obedient, then report to your family first, and talk about your relationship with Zheng Kang." ”

"I'll come first! My name is He Yong, I am the elder brother of a concubine of Zheng Kang, and I am also a small nobleman. ”

"I am from the Zhao family, and our family supports Zheng Kang's ascension to the throne, but I have always been disgusted with his southern invasion strategy......"

"I was originally a civilian, but somehow I slowly became a ...... of a thousand generals"

In a burst of panic, the nineteen generals revealed their identities one after another, but they all avoided the important and drew a line between themselves and Zheng Kang.

Yang Mu nodded three people among them and said, "Except for those few, the rest ...... Kill! ”

Suddenly, before the generals could react, and before they even had time to struggle, the guards raised their knives and fell, and sixteen heads had already rolled to the ground.

The remaining three people were almost stupid, and they were at a loss when they saw the people around them die on the spot, bleeding all over the ground.

"Do you know why I'm keeping you?" Yang Mu asked.

All three shook their heads, dazed.

"Your description is quite pertinent, unlike those who degraded the old master to the point of decentness in order to please the new master, you are obedient for the sake of survival, and you are not a white-eyed wolf......"

Hearing this, the three generals breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and secretly said that it was dangerous, if he said a wrong word with his conscience just now, I am afraid that his head would have moved by now.

"Thank you, Lord Longne!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing!"

"Thank you, sinner!"

After the rest of their lives, the three of them quickly knelt on the ground to thank them, and their eyebrows were overjoyed.

Yang Mu nodded, he also had a scale in his heart, in fact, on the way here, he had already asked Kong Shangxian, had he found any seedlings that could be cultivated, and it was these three people that Kong Shangxian reported, thinking that they could be used by Cangguo, and it turned out that his vision was not wrong.

These three people, Gu Fengnan, Gu Yi, and Yang Hong, each of them are burly, and at first glance they are not the kind of nominal aristocrats who occupy the pit, at least they have a certain strength.

Moreover, according to Kong Shangxian's previous report, these three people are still some people in Zheng Kang's camp who are not reused.

What the hell is going on?

"The three of you, each introduce some of your own positions." Yang Mu said lightly.

"The name of the guilty general is Gu Fengnan, and he is a thousand-man general of the Second Army."

"Gu Yi, the sinner general, is a centurion."

"Yang Hong, the sinner general, is a centurion."

"Centurion?" Yang Mu showed a little surprise, and specially pulled out more than 20 generals, but he didn't expect that the last three remaining people turned out to be just a thousand generals and two centurions, isn't this?

You know, out of this team of 15,000 people, the centurion has nearly 200 people......

There must be something hidden!

Yang Mu thought for a while, and then asked: "The identity of a thousand generals can appear here, but why are the two centurions included among the generals?" ”

That Gu Fengnan frowned, his mood was a little depressed, and said, "Returning to Your Majesty...... Perhaps, because the three of me used to be 3,000 generals, because of the contradiction between the family and Zheng Kang, they were knocked out of the general's position, so they were brought forward together this time. ”

On the side, Gu Yi added: "Zheng Kang recruited peasant soldiers to go south, in fact, he was just preparing in a hurry, and he didn't have time to find generals, and the money and materials were also funded by our families, so each family got a different number of generals according to the number of subsidized items and the number of people recruited, and the three of us were also arranged by the family, but later Zheng Kang had some conflicts with our three families, so we were demoted after the expedition." ”

As he was talking, Yang Hong next to him said indignantly: "When it comes to leading troops to fight, we are the real military talents!" In order to monopolize power, Zheng Kang arranged all the important generals' positions as his personal guards, and this defeat is really unjust! ”

So that's it......

Yang Mu suddenly realized, and looked at Kong Shangxian with an inquiring gaze, who nodded affirmatively.

Come to think of it, the last time Zheng Kang's army was 20,000 troops, it was actually a temporary formation of a wandering straggler, lacking training and generals, relying on the aristocracy to barely make up a congenitally deficient rabble, it is not surprising that there is such an inside story.

"Why did your family have a conflict with Zheng Kang?" Yang Mu asked.

I saw that Gu Fengnan glanced at Kong Shangxian, and said in a deep voice: "This matter, Master Kong should know some information, in fact, when piecing together this army, the major families were not optimistic about this southern expedition, and they were forced to pay a lot of money out of desperation. In fact, the family secretly has a connection with the second prince Zheng Han...... Zheng Kang also knew about this situation, so he wanted to take advantage of the southern expedition to kick us out of the ranks of the headquarters, completely control this army, and once the Cangguo was captured, he could independently decide the distribution of the results and coerce our family. ”

"That's ...... Do you Zheng Guo's nobles support several parties at the same time? Yang Mu had a flash of inspiration in his mind and asked.

"Except for the emperor's relatives, the rest are basically like this." Gu Nanfeng nodded, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty should know that Zheng Guo is a country that has been established for nearly a hundred years, and the power of the nobility is complicated, and the succession to the throne of the past dynasties is like this, so it has formed a tacit convention, and there are many phenomena of major nobles attaching themselves to two or three princes at the same time, so as to ensure that no matter which side seizes the throne in the future, the family will not decline." ”
