Chapter 1335: Persuasion
readx;? How sad is it that the dignified king of a country, the supreme emperor, has become a loner in the end?
The eldest grandson Bohao slowly stood up and walked towards the outside of the hall step by step. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info The eldest grandson Bohao is not yet twenty years old, but at this time, he looks like an old man of seventy or eighty years old.
"Your Majesty—" The four Guanyu looked at his back and bowed forward in unison.
The eldest grandson Bohao did not turn his head, and walked out of the Taihe Treasure Hall with staggering steps.
Chinese New Year's Eve is destined to be a sleepless night for Changsun Bohao and everyone in the palace.
The shouts outside the palace were endless, and it was the wind army that was in full swing to set up defenses outside the palace. The iron bucket array arranged by the wind army outside the palace surrounded the palace with three layers inside and three layers outside, and the water could not be drained.
At the same time, there were also wind troops on all sides of the palace shouting inside, persuading the eldest Sun Bohao to surrender the whole country, and persuading the people in the palace to abandon the darkness and turn to the light.
There was no fighting at night, but the voices of the wind army to surrender did not stop all night.
The next day, at dawn, the defenders standing on the palace wall looked out, only to see that the outside of the palace was full of artillery arranged by the wind army, columns, rows, not to mention thousands, it is estimated that the wind army has carried all the artillery of the two countries to the palace.
If so many artillery pieces were to fire at once, the entire palace would be razed to the ground in an instant.
Liang Ying, the commander of the guard battalion guarding the north palace wall, was secretly speechless, and his whole heart was also cold.
When he was thinking about how his side would resist if the Wind Army launched an attack, a carriage slowly came out of the Wind Army's camp and went straight to the Beigong Gate at Liang Ying's feet.
Without Liang Ying opening his mouth, a military attache of the escort battalion raised his musket and shot it at the approaching carriage.
The projectile hit the frame of the carriage shed, and the sawdust flew and the driver hurriedly grabbed the reins and stopped the carriage. The coachman sat in the car, his face pale, and his body trembled.
As the curtain of the carport was raised, an old man with gray sideburns came out of it. Everyone on the palace wall looked fixedly, and the person who came out of the carriage was not a bystander, it was the foreign minister of the country, Zhang Jiuwei.
Seeing clearly that the person who came was Zhang Jiuwei, the soldiers present were a little unable to react. After a long while, General Fang Youguan Hu said suspiciously: "According to reports, didn't Zhang Jiuwei defect to the Wind Country......?" Why did he come to the palace again?"
"I'm afraid it's a mistake in the information! If Lord Zhang really took refuge in the Wind Country, how dare he come to the palace now?"
Liang Ying glanced at the whispering generals, and said with a gloomy face: "What do you think Zhang Jiuwei did pass through the Feng Army's defense line?"
If he hadn't defected to the Wind Country, how could he be so safe and sound and swaggering through the iron bucket array arranged by the Wind Army?
He woke everyone up with a word, and all the generals looked at each other, all of them were full of doubts, since Zhang Jiuwei had taken refuge in the Wind Country, what did he want to do when he came to the palace now?
Before they could figure out the intention of Zhang Jiuwei's trip, the latter had already walked to the front of the palace wall, and the old man raised his eyes to look at the city, and asked loudly, "Is it General Liang Yingliang above?"
Hearing Zhang Jiuwei call his name, Liang Ying took two steps forward, held the arrow stack in his hand, and shouted in a loud voice: "It's the general! I heard that Lord Zhang has already taken refuge in the wind thief, and now he has come to the palace, but he has come to ask His Majesty for his guilt?"
Zhang Jiuwei smiled and said, "General Liang misunderstood, the old man came this time, not to see Your Majesty, but to save General Liang!"
"Help me? haha! What a joke!"
"General Liang wants to talk to the old man like this?"
Understanding what Zhang Jiuwei meant, Liang Ying pondered for a moment and said to a lieutenant general beside him: "Go find the rope and the bamboo basket!"
"Yes!" the adjutant general agreed, went to prepare, and then whispered beside Liang Ying: "General, Zhang Jiuwei must have bad intentions when he came this time, so why bother talking nonsense with him, just shoot him directly." ”
Liang Ying said with a gloomy face: "Let's hear what he wants to say to me first." He leaned over to the palace wall and shouted: "Lord Zhang, in this extraordinary period, I can't open the palace door, so I can only grieve Lord Zhang to sit in a basket." ”
After a short time, some soldiers carried the bamboo basket tied with ropes down from the top of the city. Zhang Jiuwei looked at it, did not hesitate for a moment, strode forward, lifted up his clothes, and sat in the bamboo basket.
The soldiers on the palace wall worked together to pull the bamboo basket up the palace wall. As soon as Zhang Jiuwei came out of the bamboo basket, there was a lot of noise around him, and countless muskets and firecrackers were aimed at him.
Zhang Jiuwei just glanced around, his expression remained unchanged, he arched his hand to Liang Ying, and said calmly: "General Liang, can you take a step to speak?"
Liang Ying stared at Zhang Jiuwei for a moment, turned sideways, waved his hand and said, "Lord Zhang, please!"
All the nearby generals stepped forward and said nervously: "General, beware of fraud!"
When Liang Ying heard this, the corners of his mouth hooked up and he sneered. Not to mention one Zhang Jiuwei, even if ten hundred Zhang Jiuwei are tied together, they can't match one of his fingers. He waved his hand to the generals and led Zhang Jiuwei into the city gate tower.
After standing still, Liang Ying put his hands behind his back, raised his head and asked, "Lord Zhang has done the ugly thing of betraying the country to seek glory, what else do you have to say now?"
"This—" Zhang Jiuwei stopped talking and looked left and right.
Liang Ying was patient, waved to both sides, and retreated from the guards present.
When the guards walked out of the city gate tower, only Zhang Jiuwei and Liang Ying were left inside, the former walked to the window of the city gate tower, pout angrily, and asked, "General Liang has seen it all?"
"See what?"
"The wind army has already surrounded the palace, needless to say, the wind army stormed the palace, even if the wind army does not attack, it only needs to besiege for ten days and half a month, I'm afraid, there are not a few people left in the palace, right?"
The food stored in the palace is limited, and where can it meet the needs of more than 30,000 soldiers.
"So?"
"Therefore, for General Liang, there is no chance of winning this battle, and if you stick to it, General Liang and the more than 10,000 soldiers under his command, no one will survive, and they will all have to be the martyrs of the eldest grandson Bohao!"
"Presumptuous!" Liang Ying's face turned red with anger and shouted loudly. "Speaking bluntly about Your Majesty's name, and speaking out of great rebellion, this alone will be able to cut off your head right now!" As he spoke, his hand was raised, gripping the saber under his side.
Zhang Jiuwei turned a deaf ear to his threat and continued: "Defecting to the Feng Country and surrendering to the Feng Army is the only way out for General Liang and the soldiers of the Duwei Battalion, and the only way to live......
"You presumptuous!
"I don't know how to be flexible, I am stubborn, I have no chance of winning, and I have no way out!" Zhang Jiuwei did not retreat but advanced, walked to Liang Ying, and said quietly: "The lives of more than 10,000 brothers in the Duwei Camp are in the hands of General Liang, is it true that General Liang is so ruthless, and he can't watch them die?"
"I'll tell you to shut up!" Liang Ying burst out, Sha, the sword was unsheathed, and the blade of the sword was already against Zhang Jiuwei's neck.
"The Wind Country is against me, and I have an enmity against the heavens, even if I am crushed to pieces, I will not surrender to the Wind Country! Zhang Jiuwei, you dare to persuade me to defect, you really don't know whether to live or die!"
As he spoke, he handed the sword in his hand forward, and the blade pierced the flesh of Zhang Jiuwei's throat, and blood was already dripping out. Zhang Jiuwei stood in place, didn't move, and suddenly asked, "General Liang, how is my relationship with my father?"
Liang Ying's father's name is Liang Bo, in the second national war with the Feng Kingdom, Liang Bo was unfortunately martyred, the then Ningnan Emperor's eldest grandson Huaide thanked Liang Bo's merits, Liang Bo's son Liang Ying was greatly promoted, and he has been promoted to the head of the capital guard battalion.
And Liang Ying really did not disappoint the eldest grandson Huaide, he was young and promising, strong in force, and well-governed, and the capital guard battalion gradually became a well-trained, brave and good fighting force in his hands.
Liang Ying said that he and the Wind Country did not share the hatred of the sky, it is a fact, his father died in the hands of the Feng Army, and now Zhang Jiuwei has come to persuade him to surrender to the Feng Army, how can he not be angry, hateful, or angry?
Hearing Zhang Jiuwei's question, Liang Ying gasped twice, and the saber against Zhang Jiuwei's neck was also slightly retracted, and said in a condensed voice: "It's not bad." ”q8zc
"It's just not bad?" Zhang Jiuwei said: "My father and I are friends of life and death, and my father is dead, I am not sad?"
Liang Ying remembered the scene of Zhang Jiuwei crying in the coffin when his father was at the funeral, whether he was sincere or false at that time, it really moved him as a son.
It is precisely because of this past that now, knowing that Zhang Jiuwei has defected to the Wind Country, Liang Ying did not order him to be shot directly, and asked people to pull him up to the palace wall, and this is the reason.
Perhaps, he still has a bit of luck in his heart, hoping that Zhang Jiuwei's defection is forced to be helpless, and he brought him into the palace, which is equivalent to saving him from the tiger's mouth.
But now it seems that his luck psychology has been completely crushed, Zhang Jiuwei was not forced to take refuge in the Wind Country, but sincerely took refuge in the Wind Country, otherwise, he would not still persuade himself to surrender to the Wind Army at this time.
He pondered for a moment, smiled, smiled bitterly, and said: "Lord Zhang has a good relationship with his father, but Lord Zhang knows that his father died at the hands of the Feng Army, and now he still comes to persuade me to defect, but let me be a disloyal and unfilial son?"
Zhang Jiuwei said: "It is true that Brother Liang died at the hands of the Feng Army, but I know that the Liang family now has only your bloodline left, if the virtuous nephew has three long and two short, the Liang family will ...... The Liang family is out of business. After a hundred years, what face does the old man have to see Ling Zun, and what face does he have to say to his father, I can't even save his only son!"
When Liang Ying heard this, his eyes suddenly turned red, tears swirled in his eyes, and the sword he raised slowly put down.
He muttered: "My father is loyal to the country and repays the king's kindness with death, but after I am the Liang family, how can I steal my life and insult the prestige of my father?"
Zhang Jiuwei shook his head again and again, and said: "Liang Xian's nephew, others have taken refuge in the Fengguo, it can be said that they have turned their backs on their ancestors and insulted the lintel, but you are different, who is the ancestor of the Liang family, have you forgotten?"
Liang Ying's body was shocked, and he looked at Zhang Jiuwei blankly.
Zhang Jiuwei said meaningfully: "Liang Qi, the ancestor of the Liang family, was the hero of the founding of the Feng Country back then, the commander of the famous Sanshui Army, hung up the post of general, and gave the title of Marquis of Wu. The Liang family prospered in the country of wind, and now that the virtuous nephew has returned to the country of wind, how can it be regarded as turning his back on his ancestors and insulting the lintel? On the contrary, if the virtuous nephew refuses to return to the country of wind, he will truly forget the ancestors of the Liang family!"
Whether Liang Ying is Liang Qi's descendant or not, no one can say clearly, but in the Liang family's genealogy, there is indeed Liang Qi's name, but this genealogy may also be fake.
In order to exaggerate their origins and be reused by the Ningnan court, most of the people who took refuge would pull in famous martyrs, even if it didn't matter, they had to rely on it, and even at the expense of changing their names and surnames, they said that they were the martyrs of the Wind Country.
As for whether the ancestors of the Liang family also belong to this category, it is unknown, anyway, on the genealogy of the Liang family, there is indeed a name of Liang Qi.
Now Zhang Jiuwei is grasping this point. He walked up to Liang Ying, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "After the virtuous nephew is a martyr of the Wind Country, now returning to the Wind Country, it is a matter of course, plus the virtuous nephew is talented, he will be reused in the Wind Country in the future, doesn't the virtuous nephew want to inherit the mantle of the ancestors and revive the demeanor of the Liang family back then?"
In Zhang Jiuwei's life, the most powerful thing belongs to his mouth, this foreign minister of Ningnan is really like a river, and the dead can be said to be alive.
