Chapter Seventy-Eight: Chu Gong is reprimanded
Chu Gong's fierce reaction made Zhu Jun frown, the reason why Chu Gong lost the entire Nanyang County Imperial Court before only took his official position and did not punish him was purely because Zhu Junbing was a major general at that time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Zhu Jun needed Chu Gong, a local official who was familiar with Nanyang, as a helper at that time, so he asked the court to keep him Chu Gong for meritorious service in the army.
After Chu Gong lost Nanyang, he thought that he would have to shed his skin if he didn't die, but after Zhu Jun rescued him, he stayed in the army conscientiously and led the soldiers for Zhu Jun. But Chu Gongwen is not very martial and not refined, and Chu Gong's help to Zhu Jun in the past few months has been almost minimal. It's just that although he Chu Gong has no ability, he has always been very honest, and Zhu Jun is disappointed and has no reason to deal with Chu Gong.
But at this moment, seeing Chu Gong jumping up and down to bury that Han Zhong, Zhu Jun became a little interested in this Han Zhong in his heart: "Where are the people from the Han Zhong faction?" ”
"His subordinates have sent someone to bring him along, and that person is outside the camp at this moment."
"Bring him here, I want to see how true this Han Zhong's performance is." After Zhu Jun experienced yesterday's victory, he felt that he had grasped the initiative on the battlefield, and he was not afraid of any conspiracy and tricks played by Han Zhong.
Chu Gong, who was on the side, saw that Zhu Jun seemed to be interested in Han Zhong, and hurriedly jumped out again and shouted: "General, that Han Zhong was a lieutenant under the command of Xia Guan before, but this person has a bad heart and hidden evil intentions, and he colluded with the Taiping Dao demon with the Yulu given by the imperial court. After the thief Dao Zhang Jiao got up, this Han Zhong contacted Zhang Mancheng and the Yellow Turban Thieves to besiege Wancheng, and opened the city gate to lead the thieves into the city while the lower officials were fighting hard with that Zhang Mancheng. It is not a pity for such a traitor to die, how can the general give him a chance to surrender? ”
Zhu Jun glanced at Chu Gong lightly: "This general is just to meet with the envoy sent by Han Zhong, whether to accept Han Zhong's surrender or not is a matter of two words." ”
"But ......"
"But what? Could it be that this general, as the right middle general, even has to be agreed by Lord Chu on whether to accept the surrender of others? Zhu Jun snorted coldly, and there was already a look of displeasure on his face.
Zhu Jun's words are so detrimental that Chu Gong can do anything other than keep his mouth shut?
After a while, Chen Jing led a middle-aged man into the tent, the man was dark-skinned and short, and although he was wearing a Confucian robe, he couldn't hide his own strong local atmosphere. As soon as he entered the camp, he first looked at the generals and colonies present, and finally knelt down to Zhu Jun, who was sitting on the main seat: "Han Jin, meet the general." ”
Zhu Jun couldn't help but laugh at this person's strange outfit: "Han Jin, what did you do before?" ”
Han Jin smiled innocently: "I used to plow the fields. ”
"Then how did you get this robe? How did you join the Yellow Turban Thieves? ”
"General Hui, this shirt was just given to me by the lord of my family, I was originally the lord's slave, and then the lord joined the Yellow Turban Army, and I also joined the Yellow Turban Army with the lord."
Zhu Jun snorted lightly: "Since your lord betrayed the imperial court and joined the Yellow Turban Army, why did he send you to ask to see General Ben today?" When he introduced Zhang Mancheng into Wancheng that day, didn't he think about today's misfortune? ”
Han Jin threw himself to the ground and fell to the ground: "The lord of my family misheard the words of the demon before, so he made such a big mistake. But yesterday I saw the power of the general, and my lord had already woken up, so he sent me to ask the general for his guilt. In order to atone for the merits of the general, the lord of my family is willing to help the general take the inner city of Wancheng in one fell swoop. ”
Hearing this, Chu Gong on the side couldn't hold back any longer: "Han Zhong is an ungrateful bastard, he can betray the imperial court and join the Yellow Turban Thief the day before yesterday, and today he will betray the Yellow Turban Thief and join the general, do you know that he will not betray again in the future?" ”
"Ungrateful? I don't know what this adult's name is? When Han Jin heard that Chu Gong insulted his lord, his face was also cold.
"This is the former Shangguan of your lord, the former county guard of Nanyang County. The reason why you lost the position of county guard is all because of the reason why your lord publicly dedicated the city. Zhu Jun introduced Chu Gong with interest.
"It turned out to be Lord Chu, although the villain was just a slave in the lord's family before, but he had also heard the lord mention Lord Chu many times. It is said that Lord Chu bought the position of Nanyang County Keeper with a lot of money, and in order to earn back the money spent when he bought the official before, he wantonly looted the people of Nanyang County, and even used his position to intercept the life-saving money and food allocated by the court to the victims of Nanyang. A corrupt person like Lord Chu who bends the law doesn't know what kindness he has done to my lord? And what right do you have to insult my father-in-law? Although Han Jin was kneeling on the ground, his eyes were full of disdain when he looked at Chu Gong.
"You! You are talking nonsense! This official killed you!! Chu Gong didn't expect that the rustic Han Zhong henchman in front of him would actually know what he had done in Nanyang before, listening to Han Jin reveal all his ugly things little by little, Chu Gong was furious and pulled out the long sword at his waist, and was about to step forward to end Han Jin's life.
"Stop!!" Zhu Jun shouted angrily, shocking Chu Gong, who was embarrassed and angry.
"General, this person is full of nonsense and insults to the prestige of the subordinate officials, and I also ask the general to allow the subordinate to kill him, so as to give the subordinate a justice." Chu Gong was drunk by Zhu Jun, but he was not willing to let Han Jin go.
Zhu Jun slapped the case in front of him heavily: "Chu Gong!" Do you think that this official really knows nothing about your past? When this official first came to Nanyang with his army, he asked someone to inquire about your past, and the people asked ranged from the children of the family to the ordinary farmers, but whenever the name of your Chu Gong was mentioned, everyone was extremely scolding you. The reason why you were kept in the army was originally to make you guilty and make meritorious contributions. But for months, you have not come up with a plan, you have not been to the front line once, and you have not been able to expect anything from you! Now, someone like Ben is going to discuss the matter of surrender, but you have been messing around here from beginning to end! With a mediocre talent like you, what's the use of keeping you in the army? Left and right, expel Chu Gong from the army and let him find his own whereabouts! ”
"Obey!" After getting General Zhu Jun's order, two personal guard sergeants walked into the door, first snatched the sword in Chu Gong's hand, and then sandwiched the depressed Chu Gong in the middle, one left and one right, and took him out of the camp tent half-dragged and half-dragged.
Looking at Chu Gong's embarrassed appearance, Wu Yi on the side couldn't help but shake his head, muttering to himself in his heart; When he first came to Nanyang, he was not familiar with the main situation in Nanyang, so he played to the imperial court, and took Chu Gong lightly and took it under his command. And now that ******** has taken the outer city of Wancheng, Zhu Jun began to settle accounts and expel Chu Gong from the army, but he forgot that although Chu Gong did not have a great contribution these days, he was busy for Zhu Jun to contact the surrounding families of Nanyang to transfer soldiers from nearby counties to help, at least there was a lot of hard work. As a result, Zhu Jun took an opportunity to kick Chu Gong out of his command mercilessly, making his months of hard work all come to naught.
