Chapter 706: Bloody Battle to the End 11
They were willing to follow Zhou Yanshan to the battlefield to the death, but the boss had no intention of continuing to fight, and they begged the boss to continue fighting. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Zhou Yanshan shook his head dejectedly: "It's not easy for you to follow me, it's better to live than to die." Be obedient, lay down your arms, surrender and disarm. ”
The generals closest to him had tears in their eyes, and they didn't know who took the lead, so they directly put their waist knives across their necks: "Master Hou, I can no longer serve Lord Hou in this life, and in the next life, my subordinates will tie the grass rank ring, and then repay Lord Hou's great kindness." ”
After saying that, several people started at almost the same time, and they ended up with their own lives.
The others did the same, and after saying the same words, they killed themselves.
Ma Xuan looked at everything that happened in front of him coldly and remained silent.
Every man's life has its own destiny, and they choose to die, and they are all faithful, and he cannot stop it.
Even if all these people surrender, it is inevitable that they will be assassinated and assigned to the army, and they may become mining slaves in any mine, and they may become tools for some dignitaries to have fun.
In this way, it is better to be clean than to die.
Zhou Yanshan's hands trembled, and under the gaze of Ma Xuan and Lu Jiugang, he pulled out a small dagger from his waist, and after glancing at Lu Jiugang with resentful eyes, he stabbed himself in the heart.
He doesn't hate Ma Zhang, the enemy, because they are enemies, and when they meet on the battlefield, either you die or I die. He hated Lu Jiugang and hated his son-in-law's betrayal.
Zhou Yanshan died, and an ambitious Hou Ye died like this, and he died a somewhat miserable death.
Ma Xuan sighed and looked at Lu Jiugang: "Are you bound or I will catch you." ”
Lu Jiugang put down his weapon and took off his armor: "Sin will be bound by his willingness." ”
At the end of a major battle, the Datong border army had won a great victory, killing 28,000 enemies and capturing more than 40,000 people. But Ma Xuan couldn't see a smile on his face, but became more and more cold.
Turning back and looking thoughtfully at the high ground behind him, Ma Xuan led the people straight to Desheng Gate.
Everything was seen by Zhang An and Wang Zhou.
Zhang An said with a smile: "It seems that this kid hates us now!" Hehe, it's okay, if he does it in the future, the old man will not show mercy to his subordinates. ”
The voice was very small, and Wang Zhou didn't hear it very clearly. However, the word "hands-on" still came to his ears very clearly.
At this moment, Wang Zhou has mixed feelings in his heart, maybe one day in the future, he will play a very dishonorable role between brothers. The betrayal of Ma Xuan and the insistence on his own opinions, the trade-off between the two is not a simple problem.
After Ma Xuan entered the city, the gate of Desheng Gate was opened and closed, and after knowing the soldiers at the head of the city, he sent someone to invite Zhu Yong.
"The last general, Datong General Ma Xuan, has seen the Duke of Baoguo." Ma Xuan saluted meticulously.
But he only saluted Zhu Yong, but did not salute Zhang Ru, who came with Zhu Yong.
Zhu Yong smiled and helped Ma Xuan up from the ground: "Okay, yes, this time General Ma saved the capital in danger, and the old man will definitely ask Your Majesty for credit for you another day." ”
Ma Xuan said expressionlessly: "There is nothing to worry about. ”
At this time, he seemed to have just seen Zhang Ru, and called Hou Ye very indifferently.
Zhang Ru nodded slightly, and did not get angry, let alone speak coldly to him.
In fact, this Ming Marquis just had a fight with Zhu Yong.
Because Fan Tong led the people to hide in the shadows and did not come out, and the people on Zhu Yong's side suffered a lot of losses. Zhu Yong asked Zhang Ru why he didn't come over earlier, and Zhang Ru gave the excuse that there was something in the house that was delayed.
This ignited Zhu Yong's anger, he believed that the national crisis was at the head, nothing could compare to the country's affairs, and family affairs were just trivial matters.
However, Zhang Ru only cared about family affairs regardless of state affairs, and he was said to be a fake public and private interest.
In the face of Zhu Yong's questioning, Zhang Ru didn't explain half a sentence, except for saying that Wen Xuan knew that he was wrong, he didn't have any other words.
Zhu Yong felt that he had smashed his fist on the cotton, and there was no repercussion, which made him feel very aggrieved.
Sensing that there seems to be a mustard between Ma Xuan and Zhang Ru, Zhu Yong, who is old and sophisticated, is even more enthusiastic about Ma Zhang, what young handsome, what prodigy, what pillar and such words are all placed on Ma Zhang.
The latter also accepted these beautiful words very well, ignoring Zhang Ru's face on the side.
In fact, Zhang Ru's face did not change.
He saw all this very indifferently.
It is said that the birds are good and the bows are hidden, the cunning rabbits are dead and the lackeys are cooked, and the world is determined to be loyal to the ministers.
These words are not made up by the ancients, but only those who have experienced a lot of things will say such words. Therefore, he tried to let himself look at all the problems in front of him with a calm mind.
After the group returned to the inner city, they first went to the Dingbian Marquis Mansion to welcome the emperor out.
Knowing that Ma Zhang's rescue was timely and that he had captured many rebels, Zhu Youzhu was very happy, saying that he wanted to wait for the court meeting to personally seal Ma Zhang's official position.
As for Zhang Ru, he just looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.
Returning to the palace, with a somewhat small queen and a confused prince, Zhu Youzhu once again became the emperor who was high, and was no longer the king like a lost dog in the Hou Mansion.
The next day, the court meeting, the ministers who could speak in the court hall were gathered, and everyone was waiting for the emperor to arrive.
"Master Li, keep the clouds open and see the moon, you have worked hard, and Your Majesty will definitely reward you heavily." Some officials patted their horses while chatting with Li Dongyang.
Li Dongyang half-squinted his eyes: "Not necessarily, everything may just be the beginning, not the end." ”
The man blushed because he didn't know what Li Dongyang meant by this.
However, Xie Qian glanced at Li Dongyang meaningfully.
In terms of qi cultivation and kung fu, Li Dongyang is undoubtedly the best among the four members of the cabinet, and Li Dongyang is also the most powerful in terms of the level of looking at problems.
So Xie Qian always felt that this was meant by something, but at this time, the emperor came, and he was not easy to ask.
"Greetings to Your Majesty!" The ministers knelt down, except for a few elders in the cabinet.
Civil officials kneel on both knees, while military generals kneel on one knee.
"Zhongqing is flat." Zhu Youzhu smiled at the corner of his mouth and said gently.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The ministers stood up.
Some of the officials who had been arrested and put in Jinyi Weizhao Prison were also released, and some still had scars on their faces. Except for a few officials who were unable to come because they were unwell, everyone who should have come and who should not have come came.
The courtiers looked at the emperor one by one, because everyone felt that the emperor would definitely reward meritorious deeds today. In particular, some of the speech officials who came out alive after being arrested and imprisoned hoped to exert their energy in a different position. (To be continued.) )
