Chapter 568 The prince fishes, and the willing takes the bait
When Lu Fang and Guo Sheng returned to Kaijing with their army, it was already dawn. The two of them met Shi Jin at the gate of the city and informed them that the seized head had been safe.
Everyone knows the importance of this massive wealth to Liang Shanbo, Shi Jin is no exception, and he is very excited to pull Guo Sheng and Lu Fang to sigh for a long time, just because the news of the return of the army has been reported to Han Shizhong, Guo Sheng and Lu Fang have nothing to do, so they chatted with Shi Jin at the gate of the city.
The Korean Gong was wrapped up in the team, and he was so anxious that he didn't dare to urge, and when he was impatient, fortunately, the two generals who led the team did not delay for too long, and after chatting for a while, they returned to join the team, and the team marched towards the city again.
Only then did Gong settle down and cautiously follow the Song people's team, this city that he couldn't be more familiar with, gave him a strange feeling at this time. The city that was supposed to be noisy is still quiet at this time, without the hustle and bustle of the past, as if it is still immersed in sleep.
Fortunately, there was no shortage of popularity in this first heroic city of Goryeo, and squads of Song cavalry could be seen everywhere carrying prisoners with heavy loads, going from house to house...... Distribution of supplies!?
Gong was surprised, and when he looked closely, he saw that the "prisoners" who were detained really threw bags of bulging things in front of ordinary Kaijing residents along the way, and in his judgment, he estimated that it should be something like food.
At this time, Gong's heart was full of questions, is this still the behavior of the occupying army? You must know that when the Liao people entered the city, they broke into the door from house to house, fulfilled the rights of the victors, and snatched the spoils that belonged to them. But at the moment, these Song people do not take the opposite...... Could it be that these Song people from the state of the Holy Dynasty are really different from the barbaric Liao people!?
The scene in front of him was not only incomprehensible to him, but even Lu Fang of the front team was a little puzzled, you must know that this is not the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and the people in the city are not his compatriots. Seeing that he was puzzled at this time, he casually summoned a junior colonel to escort the surrendered soldiers, and asked, "Which battalion are you brothers and what tasks are you performing?" ”
"The younger brother is the third commander and deputy commander under General Hao, who carries out the marshal's military orders and distributes rations and salt to the residents of Kaesong!" The little colonel knew Lu Fang and knew that he was the number one deputy general of the guard battalion, so he didn't dare to slack off at the moment and replied.
Seeing that Lu Fang still had a puzzled expression, the little colonel said, "Our single deputy general is near the left." Why don't you invite the little brother? ”
Lu Fang was not suspicious in his heart, so he casually summoned a friendly adjutant general to ask, waved his hand at the moment, and said, "It's okay, you can go!" ”
But coincidentally, as soon as the deputy commander mentioned Shan Tingjue's name, the figure of the deputy general appeared in Lu Fang's field of vision, Shan Tingjue was leading a hundred and ten people to inspect the grain release situation on the street at this time, and when he saw Lu Fang, he naturally wanted to come up and say hello. Seeing this, Lu Fang was not easy to slacken. The other party is also a figure who has been a regimental training envoy, and when he stepped forward to greet him, Lu Fang asked: "General Shan, let's also release grain in Kaijing?" ”
"Isn't this the granary where General Tang discovered the Koreans? You should know. The total amount is as high as 3 million stones, and it is estimated that we will have to delay here for several days. You said that we should stay here, but these Koreans did not dare to go out, and the marshal and the two staff officers were worried that they would starve to death. That's why we were asked to distribute rations to the troops, and we couldn't talk about putting food, just one stone for each family. But the salt pipe is enough. General Tang raided their sea salt warehouse overnight, and the full warehouse of salt was distributed to the people of the city for more than one stone, I am afraid that it will not be enough for them to eat last year? Shan Tingqi said with a smile.
I see! Lu Fang's heart was clear, and he secretly said that his family wanted to transport the grain away, not in a short period of time, these Koreans usually didn't dare to go out, there was no rice at home, it was difficult to guarantee that they would not take risks, and simply do good things on the bright side, so that these people could feel the mind of the Great Song Dynasty Heavenly Soldiers, and they could be obedient at home. As for why there is so much salt, it is also simple. That is, Liangshanbo does not worry about salt at all, and it is time-consuming and laborious and too troublesome to transport it back, and it is a merit and favor to send it to the people.
"How do you do things! The salt is all spilled, you take it home and eat it? ”
In the team escorting the troops to distribute the food, there was a shouting and reprimanding of the Song cavalry, and the bow was stunned. It turned out that the Song people not only sent food, but also salt! Is...... Well thought out! This bag of sea salt is afraid that it is not forty or fifty catties, it is worth the old money, and the people of the Song Kingdom are willing to send so much to every household......
However, Gong Mou didn't sigh a few times, so he came back to his senses, and suddenly shouted "not good" in his heart, these grains and salt in front of him are enough to buy the hearts of the people, and the Song people's posture, don't they stay here and are not ready to leave? Then his plan to restore the country has become empty again. It is said that their Gong clan has been secretly preparing for nearly two hundred years, and at this time, he will never back down when he is asked to compete with the immoral Goryeo Wang clan for power, but he will inevitably lose his confidence when he competes with this group of Song soldiers who are destined to be in heaven. Because he was not sure that nearly 100,000 defenders of Kaijing would be annihilated in just a few days, and whether he could summon the Mandate of Heaven to help him, and which city gate he wanted to attack would be called to collapse.
At this time, Gong suddenly had a feeling of throwing himself into the net, and couldn't help but regret his rashness, and wanted to run at the moment, but he was coerced by Song Bing, and came to the palace all the way awkwardly. At this time, there was no such excitement as last night, and even looking at Lu Fang and Guo Sheng's eyes, he couldn't help but complain that they were acting too quickly.
"The grandson of the lost country in the former dynasty of Goryeo?" Wang Lun really didn't rest at this time, and when he received Lu Fang's message, he couldn't help but glance at Chai Jin, and teased: "Great official, your fellow Daoist is here, let's meet together?" ”
"Brother said to see, then I'll see!" Chai Jin shook his head and smiled, he was not taboo about his identity, but liked to publicize it, so that everyone in the rivers and lakes knew about it.
Gong was brought up by Guo Sheng in fear, and when he saw everyone in the house, he was suddenly a little reluctant, and everyone couldn't help but have a very bad first impression of him.
"You're going to see me?" Wang Lun felt very strange, this person asked to see him by name, saying that he had a confidential matter to tell him, but he didn't say a word when he met, so strange.
"Villain...... The villain ...... "Gong" and "villain" for a long time, and there was no reason for the "villain", at this time, seeing that everyone seemed to be impatient, they were pretending to be stupid and confused, or simply admitting their identity, and there was a hesitation between these two choices.
Seeing this, Wang Lun glanced at Chai Jin, Chai Jin understood, and said loudly: "Does this person want to fish in troubled waters?" Where is the appearance of the king's grandson in the previous dynasty? I think I'm a deceitful! "Such a person dares to say that he is similar to his own background and experience, which is really insulting to the prestige of his Chai family.
Guo Sheng joked on the side: "I have also seen the Chai Daguan and the young general of Henghai County in Cangzhou in the Great Song Dynasty with my own eyes, I think he is the descendant of Chai Shizong of the Great Zhou Dynasty, this guy can't even compare to him with a finger, he must be really pretending, marshal, it's better to drag this person out to sacrifice the flag!" ”
Gong shuddered when he heard this, where did he dare to hesitate any longer, so he had to bow down and say: "The villain is indeed the descendant of the ancestor Gong descendant, and it is only because this Wang Jian, the ancestor of this royal mata, usurped the throne, that he went to the people. I think that Wang Jian was just a general under my ancestor, who started by plotting against him, and his descendants were very unvirtuous, so he provoked the Holy Dynasty of the Kingdom to send troops to ask for it, and the villain met all the characters of the Celestial Empire, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed for a while, so he was very out of shape, and asked the marshal to forgive him! ”
Seeing that he spoke smoothly in Song, Wang Lun thought for a while and said, "You said that Wang Jian usurped the throne of your ancestor, what proof do you have?" ”
"The villain has the royal seal handed down by his ancestors as a basis, and please take a look at the marshal of the country!" Now Gong Mou first has to prove that he did not deceive the group of Song Chen in front of him, and as for the fate after confirming his identity, there is no room to think about it.
Wang Lun took the Wang seal and looked at it, and handed it to Xu Guanzhong. In fact, if you want to talk about the jade seal, he has a piece of Qin seal that even the Great Song Emperor recognizes, and this simple king seal really makes it difficult for him to be interested.
"It's not like cheating!" Xu Guanzhong screened it, came to a conclusion, and handed Wang Xi to Qiu Yi casually, Qiu Xi also looked at it for a while, and then handed it to Chai Jin, Gong saw that his ancestral Wang Xi was handed over in the hands of the Song people, and his heart was raised to his throat, for fear that they would miss and fall, or if they didn't return it to themselves in the end, it would be miserable.
Fortunately, after Chai Jin finished reading it, he returned Wang Xi to Gong with a smile, looked back at Wang Lun and said: "In this way, we are a little disrespectful to this former dynasty prince and grandson!" ”
"Don't dare, don't dare!" Gong someone carefully took Wang Xi back into the brocade bag on his waist, and his heart was stable, and he secretly said that these Song people are not ignorant when they see the treasure, and they really have the style of a gentleman in the country, isn't it that they don't send food to stay for a long time? Thinking of this, I suddenly had some confidence in my heart to restore the country.
"Even if the facts are as you said, even though the Goryeo royal clan is usurping the throne, it has also been established for nearly two hundred years, during which the Liao State and my Great Song Dynasty have officially recognized their vassal status, you want to meet my marshal today, but what is the so-called matter?"
At Wang Lun's suggestion, Xu Guanzhong invited the Korean man to sit down, served tea, and asked him what he meant. In fact, it doesn't matter whether the person holding the royal seal is the grandson of the previous dynasty, what matters is what role this person can play.
"The villain just received the news, I heard that Wang Mata lost his morality and was abandoned by the Holy Dynasty, and ordered my Goryeo people to promote themselves as the master, and the villain dared to ask, I don't know if this matter is true?" Gong looked at Wang Lun with a pair of small eyes, unable to hide the light of ambition in his heart.
"You want to intervene too?" Wang Lun smiled in his heart and said: "Your news is very convenient, this is the will of my Great Song Dynasty official family, I should abide by it as a courtier, and Keri will return to the Song Dynasty with a large army!" ”
Gong was overjoyed, turned over and bowed, and shouted: "Marshal Wangsheng Dynasty has mercy on my Gong clan for 200 years of losing the country, and help the villain to return to the country!" The marshal's great kindness, the Gong clan will never dare to forget! (To be continued......)
