Chapter 593: The Battle of Zhangye (Part II)
He Batsheng met with Zhang Jun and his subordinates in the main camp, and He Batsheng said happily: "This official has been waiting for Zhang Gong here for a long time, and now he is finally looking forward to your coming. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" He Batsheng and Zhang Jun sat hand in hand, Zhang Jun was very moved, and said timidly: "The status of the lower official is humble, it is already an honor to be able to have the honor to meet with the general, where dare you to sit on an equal footing at this moment, it is already a capital crime for the late arrival of the lower official, and it is really a shame to be pardoned by the general, and it is really a shame to be a shame." ā
He Batsheng laughed and said: "Zhang Gong is too worried, Your Majesty has the grace of the Emperor of the Four Seas, and originally sent this official here to tell you, and now some people are obsessed with this official and it is a pity, but fortunately, Zhang Gong has made the right choice in his career with his eyes." Zhang Jun finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart when he heard this, and it seemed that his temporary choice was correct, so he immediately said: "Thanks to the wrong love of the emperor and the general, the lower officials have nothing to repay, and they will definitely help attack Zhangye and persuade Ma Furong to surrender in Kaicheng, and he will not hesitate to do so." He Batsheng nodded and said, "That's very good." ā
Ma Furong sat on the seat, and at this moment he was helplessly propped up on his knees, bowing his head and saying a word. Ma An insulted Zhang Jun and Shao Long with angry expressions below, these two people treacherously abandoned them halfway, which was simply intolerable. Ma Furong had nothing to say at this time, he didn't know that he was surprised that he had fallen to such a point in the northwest for 30 years, starting from scratch to finally owning five counties and thirty counties, with a population of up to one million. Now it is true that the trees are falling down, the walls are scattered, and everyone is pushing, and the sun is setting.
Ma Furong didn't even have any idea about his future at the moment, and said that when people are in trouble, even the realm of wisdom is covered with a layer of dirt. At this moment, his realm of wisdom seemed to be covered with dust, and suddenly the sound of artillery fire from the south of the city pulled him back from his contemplation. Ma An ran back with his saber, shouting as he ran: "The prince is not good, the prince is not good." Ma Furong turned his head with a sluggish expression and asked, "What's wrong?" ā
Ma An knelt down and cried: "Ma Hansheng, that traitor, brought people into the city from our secret passage, and even Zhang Jun, the assassin of Guazhou, turned against him to help in the war, what should we do now?" Ma Furong got up and said, "Take me to check, you send someone to guard the secret passage, set fire to the entrance of the cave and pour smoke into it, and kill one by one." Ma An immediately arched his hand and said, "Yes, my lord." As he spoke, he arranged for someone to go to the secret passage to set up an ambush.
Ma Furong stood on the city tower, the army of Qi under the city was waiting for it, and He Batsheng led Duguxin, Dou Luguang and other generals out of the battle to prepare for the final siege. Zhang Jun came to the city on horseback, and said to Ma Furong: "Why don't Ma Gong come down early, look at a certain and know that the emperor's grace will definitely live up to the expectations of the public, and it can be compared to the reverse against the mantis arm to block the car." It's not too late to surrender now, Wangma Gong will take the welfare of his descendants and the common people as the priority, and let the city descend early. ā
Ma Furong said sadly: "That's it, what face does the old man have to see Jiangdong's father again." After that, he turned around and left, Zhang Jun didn't have time to dissuade him, this Ma Furong seemed to have to break the net rather than break the jade. After a while, there was still no movement at the city gate, Zhang Jun turned his horse back and walked to He Batsheng and said: "My subordinates can't persuade Ma Furong to open the city and surrender, and ask the general to punish him." He Batsheng stroked his beard and said, "That's it, this person is extremely stubborn, since they are unwilling to surrender, then we have to take it ourselves." ā
Dugu Xin was about to start the signal to attack the city, when suddenly the main gate opened, and a landing flag was erected on the city tower. He Batsheng said happily: "It seems that Zhang Gong's words are still effective. Zhang Jun didn't dare to be greedy, and hurriedly said: "This is all relying on the great general's divine might, and it doesn't have much to do with his subordinates." He Batsheng ordered to enter the city, and Zhang Jun and Chai Yanping took the lead in entering the city. Suddenly, Ma An ran over from the front, knelt on the side of the road, grabbed Zhang Jun's reins and said, "Zhang Gong, go and save my lord, he wants to apologize for his self-immolation to His Majesty the Emperor." ā
Zhang Jun glanced at Chai Yanping, meaning to ask him what to do? Chai Yanping nodded and said: "Since Spur Shi has surrendered, he is his own person, if there are any three long and two short at this moment, it is good to explain in front of the general, and outsiders think that we are too small to tolerate people." Zhang Jun nodded and said, "In that case, then I'll go and see Ma Gong as soon as possible, what do I want?" Ma An thanked Dade again and again for kowtowing and thanking him.
Mafu is in the north of the whole Zhangye City, near the north gate, the construction is quite luxurious, the combination of Chinese and Western construction style, the blockhouse watchtower is complete, the decorations are from the exotic style of luxury marble carving, the whole building is very splendid. Chai Yanping is an eye-opener in Chang'an, but after seeing Ma Fu at this moment, he can't help but secretly smack his tongue, these emperors on the Silk Road are really poor and extravagant.
Ma An took them to the small building where Ma Furong lived in the mansion in a hurry, only to see that the door of the building was closed, and there was firewood all around, Ma An cried: "Lord, open the door, Zhang Gong and General Chai are here, don't be brutal." Zhang Jun also said loudly: "Ma Gong, what is this for?" The generals have accepted your surrender, and you should be welcomed, why are you? Ma Furong poked his head out of the upper floor, only to see him with a crazy look on his head and said: "I'm sorry for the emperor, I'm sorry for the general, and I'm even more sorry for the people in the city, let me apologize for my crimes." ā
Chai Yanping smiled in his heart: This bitter meat drama is really realistic, and Jiang is still old and spicy. Then he said: "Spur History, you are too worried, Your Majesty was originally open to you, and the general is also a magnanimous person, why should you be cocooned and ask for trouble?" It's best to come downstairs and meet the general with me. When Ma An heard this, he immediately persuaded: "Lord, what the two generals said is reasonable, and please think twice about the overall situation." ā
Ma Furong said frantically in the attic: "Don't persuade any of you, I'm going to burn all these gold, silver and jewelry." As he spoke, he dragged out a woman and yelled at the bottom: "See, even the old man's wives and concubines I will kill them first and set themselves on fire." The woman in his hand was his favorite third aunt, and at this moment she was so frightened that she was trembling and speechless. Ma An immediately knelt down and cried, "My lord, what is your suffering. ā
Zhang Jun said solemnly downstairs: "Ma Gong, it's not right for you to do this, Wang Shi even, you should seal the treasury and lock the gold, and wait for Wang Shi to review the registration and make a register and enter the warehouse, how can you find your own property?" Moreover, when you burned down the attic and killed your wife's room, you were disrespectful to His Majesty the Emperor, did you want to resist the army in this way? Ma Furong's original intention was not this, he immediately said a little anxiously: "No, I didn't mean that, Zhang Jun, you kid don't buckle your hat with me." Zhang Jun and Chai Yanping held back their smiles downstairs, and Zhang Jun said, "Since that's the case, then you can come down." ā
Ma An also knew that the two people around him had already seen that this was a bitter ploy, and said very embarrassedly: "Lord, you better come down, the general is about to arrive." Ma Furong heard this and said: "In this case, the old man will listen to you and come down first to greet the general, and how to deal with me afterwards depends on the general's words." With that, he stumbled downstairs to open the door, and everyone was frightened to retreat when they saw that he was tied to the gunpowder refining stone. (To be continued.) )
