Chapter 692: Two Bowls of Spirits to Persuade the Traitor
As Guo Dongjia justified himself, he was a Han Chinese, and in order to protect the local Han people, he chose to surrender and did not let more people die in resistance, so he did not agree with others to regard him as a traitor.
But in Zong Yun's opinion, this statement is simply ridiculous!
He did protect many Han Chinese, but these Han Chinese did not die in the war of resistance, but died under the oppression of the Mongol rulers!
Not only that, after the surrender, these Han troops and the new annexed army also acted as tigers, under the command of the Mongols, burned and plundered everywhere, and killed more Han people.
And after the surrender of the city, it is equivalent to opening the door of the country and luring the wolf into the house, which is even more sinful!
If he had chosen to defend to the death, perhaps his brothers would have been killed by the Mongols one by one, but by guarding the country, he saved millions of ordinary people in the south!
Even if they can't defend the country, this spirit of not being afraid of death and swearing to defend the country can also inspire more people to pay their own bravery and unyielding to defend their homeland, and the army of the Southern Song Dynasty will not be so corrupted that military discipline will be abolished, and no one can fight!
Traitors always disguise their cowardice with kindness, and there is only a thin line between great compassion and cowardice.
Zong Yun is not a hypocrite, in order to wronged his master Zhaoxue, he can join the White Bull Sect, he can do a lot of things that are not good, and then he founded the righteous army, attacked the city and plundered the land, and even the killing division of the tired army can be forged, no matter whether it is knowledge or heart, it is already as hard as steel.
He has seen too many Mongolian Han officials and generals like Guo Dongjia, who always whitewash their cowardice, humbly protect themselves, and at the same time long for forgiveness from others, in the end, they still have shame.
The most afraid is the kind of person who can say frankly that he is a traitor in front of the people of the world, he just wants to surrender, and he will kill him if he has the ability.
That kind of person has no shame, and there is no need to fight for it, let alone hope that they can turn back to the shore, and killing them directly is to eliminate the harm!
Fortunately, Guo Dongjia still has shame at all, as long as he still knows shame, even if there is only a little bit left, at least it means that he knows that he is wrong.
As long as this kind of person knows what is beneficial, he can let them swing over like grass on the wall, as for whether they will put it back again, Zong Yun doesn't think about it, because what Zong Yun needs is just that he will put it on himself this time.
It seems that the Red Jacket Army back then, wasn't it swaying left and right between the Southern Song Dynasty and Mongolia?
But what is the final outcome?
Before the national righteousness, we can only stand firmly on one side, and we cannot tolerate swaying from side to side, and this kind of wavering person is destined to be ruined and ruined, and the stench will be left for 10,000 years.
Zong Yun didn't want to argue with him, hearing him defend the name of a traitor, Zong Yun just felt ridiculous in his heart, but this was also expected.
Zong Yun just looked at Guo Dongjia, and cold sweat soon broke out on the latter's back, and beads of sweat the size of rice grains oozed from his forehead!
"Guo Tongzhi, are you a traitor, you have the judgment of the world, and you don't bother to care about the small way, come here tonight, I just want to remind you that the people of the world just scold the traitor, but if you bump into my Zhang Benling, you will never live!"
"So I give you two ways, either die now, or lead your people and help me take Luoyang!"
Guo Dongjia had thought about this problem a long time ago, Zong Yun risked his life to enter the city, and it was impossible for him to kill him, because he couldn't touch the core of the city defense, and killing him wouldn't shake the situation.
But he Guo Dongjia still has soldiers under him, as long as he leads the troops to attack from the inside and take the opportunity to open the city gate, that is where the real value lies!
This is also his confidence, and it is the bargaining chip that he can keep calm in front of Zong Yun.
Zong Yun didn't want to waste time, so he went straight to the point, and Guo Dongjia didn't need to twist and pinch, so he immediately put forward the conditions.
"If I help you take Luoyang City, what good will it be? Will you accept my soldiers and horses to join the rebel army? Will you let me continue to protect my brothers?"
When Zong Yun heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
"If you want to join the rebel army, you are not qualified, your people are not worthy of carrying shoes for the rebel army, as long as Luoyang is captured, I will hang your people in the city like the Mongolian barbarians!"
Guo Dongjia couldn't help but be angry, he was also a Liaodong hero, even if he was humiliated by the Mongols, he endured it, but Zongyun's people attacked the city hard, and there was no internal response, don't want to capture Luoyang in three or two months, but say such big things in front of him!
"That being the case, why does Ben General want to help you capture Luoyang, isn't this equivalent to digging a pit for yourself and burying yourself?"
Zong Yun put down the wine bowl, took out a black porcelain bottle from his arms, pulled out the stopper, and with a slight knock of his fingers, a ball fell into Guo Dongjia's wine, and it dissolved after a while, like a ball of living thick ink, and after a while, the wine became clear yellow again.
"This is the secret medicine of this sect, Jiuyang Quenching Bone Pill, either eat it or die. ”
Zong Yun did not have a threatening tone, it was very flat, as if he was stating a fact.
And this is indeed a fact, he has seen through people like Guo Dongjia, if he dies now, there is nothing else to talk about, he Zongyun gave him two choices, in fact, he has no choice at all!
Guo Dongjia looked at the wine bowl, his hands and feet began to tremble a little, but he still snorted coldly: "I didn't expect that there was poison in the famous family of Quanzhen Dao, which is really surprising." ”
Zong Yun's fingers tapped lightly on the table, and explained to him: "This is not a poison, but a tonic, Jiuyang Quenching Bone Pill is a secret medicine refined by the ancestor grandfather, which can wash the marrow and cut hair, quench the bones and refine the qi, if it is a person with advanced internal strength, if he dissolves the medicinal power, he can generate internal force, endlessly, and it is a spiritual elixir that martial arts masters can't ask for." ”
"It's just that a martial artist like you, if you take the Jiuyang Quenching Bone Pill and don't have a strong internal power to prescribe medicine, within nine days, your blood will surge, your flesh and blood will melt, and you will eventually turn into a puddle of yellow water!"
"In other words, I only have nine days?" Guo Dongjia was finally a little scared.
"Yes, only nine days, and within nine days, either you die or open the gates. Zong Yun picked up the wine bowl, took a sip, and couldn't help but praise: "I can't see it, Guo Tongzhi actually drank the champion red, which is a little surprising." ”
Where did Guo Dongjia still have the heart to talk about his cellar wine, but Chao Zongyun asked, "Nine days later, if I open the city gate, you will give me the antidote, right?"
Zong Yun put down the wine bowl, shook his head lightly and said, "This is not a poison, where is the antidote." ”
Guo Dongjia said with anger on his face: "Even if this is the case, you will die in nine days, you might as well kill me now!"
Zong Yun snorted lightly and said to Guo Dongjia: "This is not a poison, but it is not without a solution, as long as you keep fighting and use your strength, the medicinal power will naturally melt away with your strength and sweat, with your current martial arts foundation, fight for three days and three nights, without sleep, it should be able to dissolve the medicinal power, but the muscles and bones have been tempered, you are too late to thank Xiaodao!"
Guo Dongjia groaned slightly, but also felt reasonable, hesitated for a while, and finally raised his head and drank the bowl of wine!
I don't know if it's the effect of wine or the effect of pills, as soon as he entered his abdomen, Guo Dongjia felt hot all over his body, only to feel itchy in his bones, and he had an urge to beat and kill people.
Zong Yun put down the wine bowl, stood up, and said to Guo Dongjia: "Fight hard, open the city gate for me, if you want to stay awake, practice martial arts and sweat, and use this to volatilize the medicinal power, then you can't, because this is the secret medicine of the inner family, you need to be contaminated with blood, vent the murderous spirit in your heart, and you can't get rid of the medicinal power by simply practicing martial arts." ”
"If you still want to be a lackey of the Mongolian barbarians, there is no way, lock up all your brothers and kill them for three days and three nights, until all your lackeys are killed, and the medicinal power must be exhausted. ”
Hearing Zong Yun say this, Guo Dongjia was also cold, no wonder Zong Yun was able to subdue and suppress demons like the Tired Victory Army, and the outlaws of all shapes and sizes in the righteous army did not dare to be disobedient to him!
"That's all I have to say, I hope Guo will control it and do it himself. Zong Yun drank the wine in the bowl, then stood up, and when he walked to the door, he said to Guo Dongjia again: "Oh yes, thank you for the champion of Guo's system, if you hadn't surrendered to the Mongols back then, you wouldn't have been able to use this champion red." ”
If the ancients gave birth to a son, they would bury the good wine under the osmanthus tree, and when the son grew up and participated in the imperial examination, he would dig out the wine in the ground, which was the champion red.
If a woman is born, the wine buried in the ground will be dug up when the daughter is married and shared with relatives and friends, and the wine will be called the daughter red.
Zong Yun's words shocked Guo Dongjia's heart, and it was even more uncomfortable than drinking the Jiuyang Quenching Bone Pill.
Yes, if he hadn't surrendered at the beginning, maybe his son wouldn't have been in the army now, trying to tie up with the Mongols, even if he didn't get into the Southern Song Dynasty, relying on his father's shadow, maybe he could still have a mixed background, how could he be so reluctant?
Under the rule of the Mongols, even some generals were deeply humiliated, and the wives and daughters of some generals were forcibly occupied by the Mongols because of their beauty, but they dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, this kind of crime was more uncomfortable than whipping and burning, and the pain of being a traitor was also something that no one could understand.
Now that Zong Yun has given him this choice that he has no choice, Guo Dongjia really has to think about where to go.
Zong Yun left the government and did not leave the city immediately, he knew that a person like Guo Dongjia did not have the courage to die, otherwise he should have chosen to die instead of surrendering back then.
Such people may be more comfortable adapting to this world and live longer than others, but the guilt in their hearts will become less and less, and everything they will do in the future will seem to be so taken for granted.
So you have to push them at the critical moment!
Thinking of this, Zong Yun walked in the direction of the city, although the streets were full of people, all of them were sergeants carrying ordnance or transporting corpses or supplies, but no one stopped Zong Yun.
As soon as there was a curfew in the city, ordinary people did not dare to move around, but anyone walking on the street was not a simple person.
Both, Zong Yun was wearing a Taoist robe, and many monks and Taoists on the street were praying for blessings or exceedances to the defenders, so naturally no one stopped them.
Because the Mongols are very superstitious, even if they march and fight, they all bring the clergy, that is, Genghis Khan, when they encounter problems, the first person to ask is not the military master, but the heavenly master, they are in awe of the will of heaven and the mandate of heaven.
This tradition has been handed down, and Zong Yun's bearing is extraordinary, at first glance, he is a person with real skills in the Daomen, and he walks openly and honestly, without the slightest weakness, as if he is walking in his own backyard, who dares to stop him?
wanted to push Guo Dongjia to give him the confidence to rebel and act as an internal agent to open the city gate, but Zong Yun knew who to find and what to do!
