(Ask for subscription, ask for a monthly pass) For Tang Kuan, the Jingzhou assassin who had just arrived, Zhang Liang had heard of this person from Pei Baiyao's mouth more than once in the past. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Since Pei Baiyao accepted the 100,000 yuan of money offered by Tang Kuanjin, he tried to pull this "model of 100 officials" by his side, firstly, he could repay Tang Kuan's huge bribes, and secondly, he could also show that as the first assistant of the imperial court, he did have a discerning eye, so he mentioned Tang Kuan to Empress Zhang in front of Zhang Liang. Unfortunately, at that time, Empress Zhang gathered more than flies to seek progress, and Tang Kuan had already spent all the things in his bag, and he couldn't take out decent treasures to honor Empress Zhang, so after a few years, he could only still do his five-pin Bazhou thorn history, and could not get the favor of the Zhang family.

For such a person, Zhang Liang inevitably looked down on him a little. Xiang Zhifei once led the troops away, the door of Jingzhou was wide open, Zhang Liang did not hesitate to urge his soldiers and horses, with lightning speed, all the way to Jingzhou, trying to attack the city on the same day, capture Tang Kuan alive, and use his head to report to Na Ximo for reward.

Tang Kuan, who was in Jingzhou City, was anxious about a series of urgent military reports like a stone sinking into the sea, and could not get any reply from Chang'an, when he suddenly heard a panic report from his sergeant, saying that the Tubo army had broken through the Zhenyuan defense line and was coming towards Jingzhou, and he almost fell from his seat to the ground without bluffing. He didn't remember to ask how many troops Tubo had and who the leading generals were, so he hysterically let out a strange cry from his throat: "The whole army is going to the city, stop me from it." ”

Don't say it, the two thousand government troops that Tang Kuan had just recruited in Jingzhou really gave Tang Kuan a long face, and in the first round of coming to the city, he beat the vanguard sent by Zhang Liang to attack the city, and smashed it with a series of shots, which made Zhang Liang's Tubo army drop two or three hundred corpses, and successfully alleviated the offensive launched by Zhang Liang's army on Jingzhou City.

However, after a small victory, Tang Kuan made a fatal mistake. As soon as he heard that the scouts in the army reported that there were 30,000 Tibetan troops who had come to attack the city, he seemed to be frightened, and he did not want to immediately organize his soldiers to strengthen the city defenses in order to fight again, but put almost all his hopes on asking for help everywhere.

Tang Kuan's first company sent three people to ask for help, and went straight back to Chang'an, appealing to the imperial court, asking the emperor and Li Qi, the king of peace, to send rescue troops quickly; The second and third roads were sent to Hezhou and Zhenyuan, which had long been lost, respectively, in order to quickly seek the main force of Wang Huaizhen and Xiang Zhifei's Shenhe Army to rescue Jingzhou.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and nearly half of the 2,000 soldiers of the government army were killed or wounded in the offensive and defensive battle with Zhang Liang's department. Could it be that this Jingzhou city is about to become his burial place? Tang Kuan sat alone in the lobby of the Thorn Mansion, thinking about his thoughts dejectedly.

"Master, there is a Tibetan envoy outside the city gate asking to see you." The old butler who had followed Tang Kuan for many years tiptoed in and reported softly to Tang Kuan.

"Tibetan envoy? At this time, he came to do something, not to see! Tang Kuan waved his hand to the old butler in distraught, signaling him to refuse the request of the Tibetans.

"Well, if you want the little old man to say, it's better for adults to meet him." The old housekeeper had the courage to persuade Tang Kuandao, "Little Lao'er has just heard the legend, my lord, guess who is the commander of the Tubo army who led the army to attack the city outside the city?" It's none other than General Zhang Liangzhang, the uncle of the previous dynasty. ”

Hearing that the commander of the Tubo army outside the city turned out to be Zhang Liang, Tang Kuan's heart couldn't help but tremble, this uncle who had lost power and couldn't cling to it by all his means sent someone into the city to see him at this time, in addition to persuading himself to abandon the city and surrender, would there be anything else?

Speaking from his heart, asking for help everywhere to no avail, Tang Kuan did have the idea of abandoning the city and fleeing, but when it came to surrendering, he really didn't think about it.

"Master, according to the envoy sent by the Tubo people, he brought a letter from Lord Lin Shu to the master, asking the master to allow him to enter the city to meet him." Seeing Tang Kuan's hesitation, the old housekeeper added.

The news that Lin Shu stayed in the Tubo Dynasty as an official had already been heard by Tang Kuan when he first arrived in Jingzhou to take office. This champion of the year wanted to write to himself in the same year, but he was afraid that he would also persuade himself. Hehe, I didn't expect that the champion who had no scenery back then, but now he ended up being a lobbyist for the barbarians, and when he thought that he could finally raise his eyebrows in front of Lin Shu, Tang Kuan's long-suppressed vanity began to secretly play tricks, driving him to make a wrong decision.

"Oh? Since it was Brother Lin Xian who brought the letter to the official, the official wanted to see him. Tang Kuan imagined in his heart that it would not be long before he angrily tore up Lin Shu's letter of persuasion and scolded the Tibetan envoy in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but put a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth.

The old butler happily agreed, turned around and went out, and after about half an hour, he walked in again with a Tibetan envoy wearing a felt hat and a yak hide, and with a proud expression.

When the Tibetan envoy saw Tang Kuan, he didn't give a salute or greeting, but spoke in half-baked Chinese, and said to Tang Kuan in a condescending tone: "My family has an order from General Zengjie, and he ordered Tang Kuan to stab Lord Shi to immediately open the city gate to welcome our army into the city. The general of my family can sponsor Lord Tang to still be an official in front of the big talk and the general. Otherwise, before dark, ask Lord Tang to wash his neck and wait to die. ”

Tang Kuan saw that the Tibetan envoy had entered the hall, his mouth was full of nonsense, and he had no respect for himself, so he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, shouted lowly, stretched out a hand at the envoy, and reprimanded: "Quickly present Lord Lin Shu's handwritten letter, and then be rude and offensive, and beat it out with a stick." ”

Unexpectedly, when the Tibetan envoy heard Tang Kuan's words, he was stunned, and then replied in a daze: "What a handwritten letter from Lord Lin!" I only obeyed the order of my general, and entered the city to let you live, and I didn't want to be wordy, just answer whether to surrender or not. ”

Tang Kuan was shocked, and glared angrily at the old butler standing behind the Tibetan envoy: "Say, what's going on?" ”

At this time, the old housekeeper saw that he could no longer hide it, so he knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Tang Kuan again and again: "Master, it's not about the old slave, it's the lady and several ladies who are afraid that the city will be humiliated and their lives will not be guaranteed, so they ordered the old slave to lie and deceive the master, and persuade the lord to follow Lord Lin Shu and General Zhang Liang, surrender to Tubo, and temporarily save the lives of the whole family!" ”

Slut hurt me! Tang Kuan only felt dizzy for a while, and he almost lost his breath.

The Tibetan envoy was good at adding fuel to the fire, and when he saw Tang Kuan's backyard on fire, he smiled hideously and asked Tang Kuan, "Master Thorn Shi, don't you think it's strange?" Why can't you hear the shouts of killing in this city? To tell you the truth, my Tibetan army has entered the city at this moment, and I am waiting for you to come out of the house to greet you. ”

Tang Kuanhuo drew his sword, staggered towards the old butler, and shouted in his mouth: "Slut, old puppet, you colluded to harm my big thing, and took your life." ”

The Tibetan envoy flew up, kicked Tang Kuan to the ground, and scolded viciously: "Your woman is kind enough to save you, but you are so unreasonable. Now that the city of Jingzhou has been broken, it doesn't matter if you surrender or not, it's just that my general sent me into the city to save your life for the sake of being an official with you. Don't be ignorant and kill yourself. ”

From the dragon never to the end, from the dragon never to the end! Tang Kuan kept chanting these words in his heart, and hung his head weakly. (To be continued.) )
