Chapter 336: Where the Heart Belongs (3)
Jinan City, dungeon. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After the assassination on the night of Hao Meng's wedding a few years ago, this dungeon was almost overcrowded. Later, the exchange of exchanges, the release of releases, the surrender of surrenders, but to this day, there are still several people detained in the dungeon.
In the past few days, the food in the dungeon has obviously improved a lot, not to mention the food is a lot sweeter, and there is still wine and meat supply.
This once made the few remaining people in the dungeon a little panicked, thinking that this was the severed head meal, and after this kind of food lasted for several days, the few people detained in the dungeon were also relieved.
The severed head meal is mostly one or two meals, and it can't last for days!
"Hao Meng, what do you mean by this?"
I ate another meal, this time it was more sumptuous than yesterday, and a roast chicken was added to the meal for several people. Although eating delicious food, Cai Mao has no bottom in her heart.
……
At this time, those who were still detained in the dungeon included Cai Mao and Wen Ping from Jingzhou, Zhang Ren and Zhang Song from Yizhou, and Gan Ning, a general under the command of Sun Ce, the former lord of Jiangdong, as well as three or two other kittens.
Liu Biao, the assassin of Jingzhou, wanted to redeem Cai Mao and the others, but Hao Meng's territory already bordered Jingzhou, and Hao Meng was definitely not happy with this kind of obvious enemy behavior.
Therefore, Cai Mao and the others can only be detained indefinitely in the dungeon of Jinan City.
After Yizhou entered Liu Zhang's era, Zhang Ren and Zhang Song may have been forgotten by Liu Zhang, especially after Hao Meng sent Dian Wei to release a holy beast in Yizhou, Liu Zhang had no intention of sending people to negotiate with Hao Meng.
As a result, Zhang Ren and Zhang Song could only be in the dungeon, slowly savoring the rest of their lives.
As for Gan Ning, Sun Ce is gone, and Sun Quan will definitely not be able to redeem Gan Ning. What's more, after the year, Hao Meng fought with Jiangdong several times, even if Sun Quan had the intention of negotiating to redeem people, Hao Meng might not release the enemy.
With so many remaining people in the dungeon, Hao Meng would definitely not let them go easily. If you give them a pleasure directly, Hao Meng is a little reluctant. They had to be kept in the dungeon all the time, and they were only to keep a few more wastes.
……
"Hao Meng has already led the four prefectures of Qingyan, Xuyu and Henan, and its general trend has taken shape; It only takes a year or two to recuperate, and it can form a trend that sweeps the world. At that time, no one in the world will be able to compete with them. ”
Zhang Song drank a little wine, nibbled on chicken, and talked eloquently.
Zhang Song is not a military general who is good at force, but his IQ is quite good, perhaps not as good as several demons in the late Han Dynasty, as a third-rate dog-headed military division, Zhang Song can still be worthy of a big responsibility.
During this period of time, Zhang Song roughly heard some news from the jailer.
After Hao Meng's spring, there was a large war that lasted for several months, and he had completely occupied the four prefectures of Qingyan, Xu, and Henan.
The other princes either rested on their laurels, or retreated to other places, or disappeared, and only two or three people remained who were able to expand their territory; But no one can Hao Meng's great achievements
At this point, from the perspective of territory, Hao Meng is already the largest prince in today's territory.
As long as a year or two of recuperation, collecting the hearts of the people in the four states, and accumulating enough food and grass soldiers, it is only a matter of time before Hao Meng starts the rhythm of clearing the world.
This point, Zhang Song can analyze from the words of the jailers.
The prisoners detained in the dungeon of Jinan City were not death row prisoners, and Hao Meng did not specifically explain to the jailers, and he was not allowed to reveal a word to Zhang Song and others. Therefore, although Zhang Song is in the dungeon, he is still updating the general trend of the world in his heart.
……
"Hao Meng's family won the four states of Qingyan and Xuyu, and later asked for the position of hussar general, but he didn't improve the food for us, but this time there was wine and meat for no reason, could it be that he Hao Meng had a great joy again?"
There is no love for no reason in the world, and there is no hate for no reason, and the food in this dungeon suddenly changed in style, and Cai Mao really didn't adapt to it.
Zhang Song said: "If you want to know why Hao Meng's guy gave us wine and meat, it's not simple?" ”
After that, Zhang Song called out to the jailer and asked, "What are the great joys in Jinan City recently, or what are the joys of the hussar general Hao Meng?" ”
While asking, Zhang Song handed over more than a dozen coins through the cell.
If the money and equipment on the generals are not given voluntarily by themselves, others really can't deprive them of them.
The terrain of the dungeon, as well as the guards at the door, restricted Zhang Song and the others from escaping from prison, but they could not take away the equipment on their bodies and the money in their pockets.
During these days in the dungeon, Zhang Song and the others used money and low-level equipment to tempt them, so they could know some news from the outside world, and they could fight tooth sacrifices every once in a while.
When the water is clear, there are no fish, and the jailers in the dungeon also know what to say and what not to say, and understand what can and cannot be done.
For the sake of money, there are some well-known news, and the jailers are still happy to leak a few words to Zhang Song and others; When Zhang Song and the others wanted wine and meat, the jailers would sneak some in.
However, if they want the jailers to help Zhang Song and others escape from prison, no matter how much money they have, the jailers will not do it. Moreover, as long as Zhang Song and others show their intentions in this regard, these jailers will report and expose them as soon as possible.
……
More than a dozen coins, and the jailers are not too little; After dividing the money, one of the jailers said: "Our general's wife is already pregnant with a son, and the hussar general is very happy, so he lavishly rewards the soldiers and civilians of Qingyan, Xu, and Yuzhou. ”
"According to the general's edict, the military and civilians of the four prefectures of Qingyan, Xuyu and Yu under the rule of the general's mansion. Men and women, young and old, rich and poor. Ten gold for each person. ”
"These days, even the homeless people in the city who do not have a household registration can have a full meal for a few days, so you will have wine and meat in these few days."
With that, the jailer said no more, turned around and walked out of the dungeon.
General Hao Meng rewarded all the soldiers and civilians in the four states of Qingyan, Xu and Henan, this is not any information that needs to be kept secret, Zhang Song and the others in the dungeon will know sooner or later, for the sake of money, the jailers are also willing to break the news to Zhang Song and others.
As for other information, Zhang Song and the others didn't ask, and the jailers didn't talk much.
……
The jailers were gone, but there was silence in the dungeon.
At this moment, even a water bandit like Gan Ning, who only has muscles in his brain, understands the meaning of a prince who is in charge of the land of the four states to have an heir.
The four states of Qingyan, Xuyu and Henan are mostly newly occupied by Hao Meng, and people's hearts are unstable. In particular, Hao Meng's fire in Yuanshu's puppet capital, the big families and people in Runan, I'm afraid that they dare to be angry in their hearts, right?
Without a year or two of benevolent and good governance, we will not be able to appease the people of these four states. If you give those who have a heart to seize the opportunity, they only need to provoke and incite, even if no one dares to rebel, the people and big families are afraid that they will flee.
However, with Hao Meng's wife Cai's pregnancy, I am afraid that those neutral families will mostly fall to the General's Mansion and serve Hao Meng. The big families have fallen to Hao Meng, and it is only a matter of time before the people at the bottom want it.
That's all, I didn't expect Hao Meng to seize the opportunity to take this opportunity to reward the soldiers and civilians under his rule, and there is no distinction between men, women, old and young, rich and poor.
Most of the big families don't care about the reward of one hundred and ten gold, but the people at the bottom are afraid that they are sincerely thanking the hussar general Hao Meng at this time, right?
This is not good news for the people who are being detained in the dungeon.
The more stable Hao Meng's rule in the four prefectures of Qingyan, Xu, and Henan, the less likely it is that his regime will be overthrown, and they will never come out when they are detained in the dungeons of Jinan City!
……
After a long time, Zhang Song took the lead in breaking the silence and sighed: "If Hao Meng sends someone to surrender again, let's surrender!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Ren, who was in the same cell with him, was a little dumbfounded.
What about the good festival?
"If you want to surrender Hao Meng, you go and surrender, anyway, a certain Gan Ning and Hao Meng's fight is incompatible!"
In a separate cell, Gan Ning was quite depressed after hearing the sound, and after replying, he fell asleep in the haystack with his head covered.
Gan Ning's loyalty to Sun Ce, the ancestor of Jiangdong, is beyond doubt. If Sun Ce hadn't been sent to Huangquan by Hao Meng in person, Gan Ning would still have the possibility of submitting to Hao Meng, now......
However, although everyone thinks that Zhang Song's sentence is a bit out of discipline, in fact, they still agree with Zhang Song's sentence in their hearts.
Zhang Song and Zhang Ren were both born in the Zhang family, a big family in Shuzhong, and Zhang Lu, who was in Hanzhong, and the eight poles were able to get some involvement.
After Liu Zhang took charge of Yizhou, he teamed up with Liu Biao in Jingzhou to kill Zhang Lu, although he did not kill the entire Zhang clan in Shuzhong, but many civil and military officials from the Zhang family were also deposed.
Not to mention that Liu Zhang has not taken the initiative to redeem Zhang Song and Zhang Ren, even if Zhang Song and them are redeemed by Liu Zhang, they are afraid that they will not have a bright future.
Therefore, instead of being detained in this dark dungeon for the rest of his life, it is better to return to Hao Meng.
At least, after returning to Hao Meng, Zhang Ren and Zhang Song can still shine and realize the value of their own lives, right?
Especially now, Hao Meng is about to have an heir, and he has rewarded the soldiers and civilians under his rule, and returned to Hao Meng, which is the trend of the times.
……
If Zhang Ren was forced to surrender to Hao Meng, then Cai Mao, who was also in the dungeon, would have long been eager for Hao Meng to surrender to him.
During these days in the dungeon, Cai Mao learned from the pain and regretted not being at the beginning. I knew that Hao Meng could achieve such a great cause, and he Cai Mao should not have participated in the siege on the wedding night in the first place!
Cai Mao's sister-in-law filled in the house for Liu Jingzhou, which is not wrong.
However, in terms of clan, Nan Cai and North Cai are also considered to be one family, and Hao Meng's wife Cai Wenji can also be regarded as Cai Mao's sister. No matter how you say it, he Cai Mao can be regarded as a relative of the Hussar General's Mansion.
If Hao Meng's power is not successful, in this era when his brothers have to attack each other, this kind of kinship will not be enough to maintain, which is why Cai Mao will choose Hao Meng's wedding night to participate in the siege.
It's just that now that Hao Meng has become a big trend, Cai Mao regrets her recklessness a little.
Just as Cai Mao regretted not doing it at the beginning, several jailers went and returned, but this time the tone was a lot more respectful. "Ladies and gentlemen, the general has invited a few of you to the General's Mansion for a banquet."
