Chapter 302: Murderous Faith
Yang Zhong continued: "As the saying goes, if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, Hou Mo Chen Chong is deeply favored by Yuwen's kindness, and he doesn't want to reciprocate but harbors evil intentions in a vain attempt to fish in troubled waters and profit from it when the Yuwen family has no time to take care of it. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info old man is righteous and righteous, but he is a teacher without authorization, and wants to disobey the emperor's order, and he is simply ashamed of being a son of man. Such acts of disloyalty and unfilial piety are rare. And the frog at the bottom of the well wants to be greedy for the sky, which is ridiculous. ”
Seeing that everyone was attentive and listening to his eloquent words, Yang Zhong took advantage of the wine to say even more: "The soldiers and civilians of Tianshui are just forced by the situation, and they are forced to confront Wang Shi, the old man knows this, so he specially invited the veteran general Cao Hui Gong of Qinzhou, General Cao, and the governor of Longcheng, Xue Yusheng Xue. These two people are deeply popular in Qinzhou, and they are also models for officials, especially yesterday's hard work in the First World War, I am here to toast and reward the two of them! After that, a few maids walked in with a few plates in their hands, led by an inner chamberlain.
Yang Zhong said loudly: "I have already written yesterday's credit into the merit book and sent someone to hand it over to Prime Minister Yuwen. Before that, I personally rewarded him as the assassin of Qinzhou, and the first meritorious minister of Lord Xue was not only blocked in Longcheng and Anrong, but Tianshui City was also managed by him when I was away, and he also served as the Taishou of Longxi County. Then Yang Zhong pointed to Cao Hui Palace and said loudly: "General Cao, this battle is quite brave, beheading three hundred levels, and being the first to enter the thief's nest and shock all directions." He was awarded the title of Taishou of Anyang County in the south, and the territory of Ayang Andu, and concurrently served as the military forces in the south of Tianshui, plus a reward of 300 taels of gold. ”
Cao Huigong stood up and saluted the generals and officials below with pride, and the maid, under the guidance of the inner attendant, stepped forward to bow to him with the gold official seal and other items on the plate, Cao Huigong looked at Yang Zhong and laughed and took the plate. Xue Yusheng also took the plate himself. The two of them came to the middle of the hall together, and bowed their hands to Yang Zhong and said, "The last general thanks the general for the reward, and he is willing to go to the soup for the imperial court." ”
Yang Zhong helped the two of them up and took them to the bottom of the high platform to meet and toast the civil and military generals one by one. Then the singers and dancers came in one after another to sing and dance, a song and dance was leveled, Yang Zhong was very satisfied with the successful capture of Tianshui City this time, as long as Tianshui was occupied by himself, the entire Qinzhou had nothing to be afraid of, and sooner or later it was just in his bag.
Hou Mo Chen Chong is dealing with Yang Su and Murong Yan in Longxi, he has no military rations to come to Tianshui, and it is difficult to continue relying on the grain in Longxi City alone at this moment, and Dou Luguang is pressing in the general's camp at the moment. Hou Mo Chen Chong looked at him and Hou Mo Chen Shun, but they had nothing to say at the moment. Hou Mo Chen Shun returned to Longxi from Jincheng two days earlier, he left half of his men and horses in Jincheng to participate in the defense, at this moment Jincheng, Wushi, Caohan and other places can no longer be lost, if there is something in these places, Hou Mo Chen Chong will have nowhere to escape.
Hou Mo Chen Shun said: "Tianshui is estimated to be able to hold on for another year and a half, so we don't have to worry, I think we should stick to Jincheng at this moment." Caohan, Wushi and other cities, waiting for the autumn to have enough soldiers, and then take advantage of the situation to kill back. Dou Luguang also agreed: "Lord Xingtai (Hou Mo Chen Shun was named the governor of Ganzhou Xingtai Metropolitan Military) is reasonable, if the general is not at ease, he can give me 20,000 horses, and I will kill the two thieves Yang Su and Murong Yan first." ”
Hou Mo Chen Chong didn't speak, as if he was still thinking about how to choose, at this time a military general hurriedly came in outside the door, whispered a few words in his ear, he heard the words and quickly stood up and said to everyone: "That's it for today, I'll go back and think about it, and officially issue an order tomorrow." You, and you, come with me. Hou Mo, Chen Shun and Dou Luguang followed him out of the camp.
A few people came to the post house in Longxi, dismounted and entered the house, only to see that the post was already kneeling there and pretending to cry, and it was the third day since the fall of Tianshui City. Hou Mo Chen Chong grabbed him and asked viciously, "Where is the thing?" Yi Cheng pointed to the back room in horror and said, "Back to the general's words, things are in the back room." Hou Mo Chen Chong raised his feet and went in, only to see two large black food boxes on the table, Hou Mo Chen Chong stepped forward and opened them directly, and when he opened it, even Dou Luguang's face on the side turned white.
The food box contained the head of Hou Mo Chen Kai, and Hou Mo Chen Shun was shocked and shouted sadly: "Fourth brother! Hou Mo Chen Chong didn't say a word, and opened another food box, only to see that inside was Hou Mo Chen Qiong's head, and the head still had a letter in his mouth. Hou Mo and Chen Chong didn't even hesitate, they directly took off the letter in their mouths, opened it and read it. The letter was written to him by Yang Zhong, which told in detail the fall of Tianshui, of course, it also mentioned the "merits" of Xue Yusheng and Cao Huigong, and at the end he also said to Hou Mo Chen Chong that as long as he is willing to surrender now, he can be exempted from the death penalty, but the living crime cannot be escaped.
Looking at the head, and then looking at the letter in his hand, Hou Mo Chen Chong angrily tore the letter to pieces, and shouted angrily: "Xue Yusheng, Cao Huigong, I don't share the sky with you, even if I am broken bones, I will kill you two dog thieves together." "This is the most insidious and vicious curse. Hou Mo Chen Shun asked with tears in his eyes: "Is it that Tianshui has fallen?" What about our families, how are they? And what about our wife? ”
Hou Mo Chen Chong roared angrily: "If you are dead, you are dead." After that, he turned around and grabbed the post man and asked, "Where is the messenger?" "He's going to take the delivery guy out of his anger. Yi Cheng said in a panic: "It was sent by a man from Fanbang, he didn't explain anything else, just said that someone entrusted Yang Zhong's gift to him to send it to Longxi City, let me report to you, he has been leaving on his own for a long time." ”
Hou Mo Chen Chong kicked on Yi Cheng and scolded angrily: "Waste, can't you even look at yourself? You're not going to leave him behind? Yi Cheng hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed like pounding garlic, and kept begging for mercy: "The general spares his life, the small sin deserves death, please forgive the sin." "Hou Mo Chen Chong really wants to kill Yi Cheng with one sword, but what's the use of killing him? His whole family has been poisoned by Yang Zhong's old thief, and the most important thing is that Tianshui has fallen, not to mention food in the future, even a mouthful of water is estimated to be no longer delivered.
Hou Mo Chen Shun came out crying and asked, "What should I do about this?" Hou Mo Chen Chong's brain was about to explode at the moment, and he said angrily: "What else can I do about this?" Find a place where no one is there and bury it! Then he turned around and left. Hou Mo Chen Shun felt a faint sense of uneasiness in his heart at this moment, always feeling that something big would happen, looking at the two heads on the table inside, he was also disillusioned.
Dou Luguang followed behind Hou Mo Chen Chong without leaving an inch, he turned around and roared, "What are you doing with me?" Dou Luguang didn't speak, but looked at him with a quiet look, as if to say, I'm afraid that you will commit suicide. Hou Mo Chen Chong waved his hand weakly and impatiently: "You let me stay alone, I want to be quiet, rest assured, I won't commit suicide, I still have a sea of blood and revenge that has not been avenged, Yang Zhong is not dead, how can I die?!"
