Chapter 256: Veteran Xu Jing!
Early the next morning.
After Zhu Long got up, he only felt refreshed and energetic, first stood in the courtyard for half an hour of pile work, and then practiced half an hour of fists, feet, guns and sticks, and then it was time for breakfast.
Zhiyue invited him to sit down next to the table, on which there was a bowl of porridge, two plates of steamed buns, two pancakes, a small pot of mutton soup, three eggs, a plate of green vegetables, and a small plate of pickles.
It's so plain! Not to mention the identity of the overlord of Zhulong's side, even if it is an ordinary rich and noble family, it is a hundred times more luxurious than this.
Lin Chuman sat opposite, his five fingers were white and slender, he was peeling eggs, and after peeling them, he put them in the dishes in front of Zhu Long.
She eats a small amount of food, and she is full quickly, and then while watching Zhu Long eat, she says something about her parents, she is also a smart and considerate person, and she doesn't bother Zhu Long with goosebumps, and says some interesting things.
Zhu Long suddenly felt a full sense of happiness.
Is it bad to spend a small day with someone you like? Why do you have to fight and kill, and cheat me?
He shook his head, shaking the childish thought out of his head.
After eating, he called Jiao Ting outside the door to come in, took out the armor that had been polished by Lin Chuman, put them on one by one, and finally hung the saber on his waist and strode out.
When he walked to the door, he turned back and waved to his wife, showed a warm smile, and turned to leave.
Jiao Ting carried his Wyvern spear and followed closely behind.
Along the mountain avenue, through the three passes, come to the foot of Dulonggang.
Guan Sheng, Luan Tingyu, Qin Ming, Wu Song, Zeng Rong, Shi Wengong, Bian Xiang, Qiu Yue and others had already seen him and came up from afar.
"Lord, why did you come down?" Guan Sheng asked, bowing and clenching his fists.
Zhu Long glanced at them, smiled, and said in a relaxed tone: "I'll go and persuade Xu Jing to stop fighting and surrender!" ”
Guan Sheng frowned, glanced at Qiu Yue, and said: "The gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, I am afraid that there is fraud in this, if Xu Jing has bad intentions, the lord will be in danger!" ”
"You have a point!" Zhu Long nodded approvingly, and said, "So I'm going to bring someone to accompany me!" ”
He looked at Wu Song and said, "Brother Wu Song, you go with me!" ”
Wu Song's chest straightened, clenched his fists in front of his chest, and said sonorously: "Yes!" ”
"One person is too little!" Qin Ming said worriedly: "Bring a few more brothers, and I will go with Lao Shi and Lao Bian!" ”
Shi Wengong and Bian Xiang hurriedly said, "Okay, let's go!" ”
Zhu Long nodded, shook his head again, and said, "Shi Wengong and Bian Xiang will go with me, Lao Qin, don't go, you still have to lead the dragoons!" ”
He turned his head to look at Zeng Lang again, and said with a smile: "How about Brother Zeng Tu go with me?" ”
"It's an honor for dogs to protect the lord and be thorough!" Zeng Lang was very happy in his heart, this was Zhu Long's trust in the Zeng family.
He told Zeng Tu: "No matter what, you must protect the master's integrity!" ”
"Father, don't worry! The child will not let anyone hurt the lord by a hair. If you want to kill the lord, you must step over my corpse! Zeng Tu patted his chest and said.
"You can't die either, live well!" Zhu Long said with a smile, he still wanted to take a closer look at the boss of the Zeng family.
He knew that Zeng Tu was good at martial arts, and he was in the middle of Xu Ning, with a calm temperament, and he was a promising young man.
Finally, he glanced at Qiu Yue again and said, "General Qiu Yue, you come with you!" ”
"Yes!" Qiu Yue knew he had to go.
Six people in heavy armor, riding war horses, came to the gate of the camp, Qiu Yue patted his horse forward, and shouted loudly: "General Xu, ......"
Before the words fell, the gate of the camp opened, and a group of elite soldiers inside were facing the door with strong bows and crossbows.
Zhu Long's face was fearless, and he drove his mount to the gate of the camp. Wu Song and Bian Xiang rushed to the front, glaring angrily at the soldiers.
A small colonel behind the door said, "Please come with me!" ”
He took them to the wall, and saw Xu Jing, who had gray hair, standing on the wall, facing them sideways, staring into the distance, his eyes were blurred, and he seemed to be stuck in the memories of the past.
"Old General Xu!" Zhu Long greeted.
Xu Jing turned his head, then slowly turned around.
Qiu Yue pointed to Zhu Long and explained: "This is Zhu Daguan"
Xu Jing looked at Zhu Long, seemed a little surprised, and said, "I didn't expect that Zhu Daguan would be so young!" ”
Zhu Long laughed, "I didn't expect that Old Man Xu should be old and strong, and Gao Yu has become a prisoner of my subordinates, but the old general is still resisting, Zhu Mou admires it very much!" ”
"The position of a military general, dare not disobey!" Xu Jing said indifferently.
"Old general, real general!" Zhu Long bent down slightly to show respect.
Immediately, his expression was solemn, and he said earnestly: "Please forgive me for saying bluntly, the court has an army of 100,000, and only the old general is left. Now you have no food and grass inside, no rescuers outside, and if you continue, there is only a dead end! ”
"Of course, the old general is not afraid of death, but if he wants to bring this ten thousand sons to accompany him to the funeral, how can he bear it, they also have parents, wives and children, waiting for them to go back!"
"Please take mercy as the thought of the old general, put down your weapons, surrender out of the village, I will not kill a single person, just wait for the success of Zhao'an, I will let you go!"
"What if the court doesn't recruit peace?" Xu Jing looked at Zhu Long with a look of distrust on his face.
"Hehe, I also have a bowl of rice for you to eat!" Zhu Long said with a smile: "When a soldier eats food, where is the difference!" I wish that Long is also a Han person, not a party member, nor a Khitan person, a Jurchen! Moreover, I can guarantee that our food is better than that of the imperial court, and the treatment is higher than that of the imperial court! ”
Xu Jing looked around, his gaze swept over the faces of each soldier, as if he had seen through their thoughts, although they admired him, they really didn't want to fight.
No one wants to fight a battle that cannot be won.
"As long as you swear to treat these soldiers well and not kill a single person, I will order them to surrender!" Xu Jing gritted his teeth and made up his mind, staring at Zhu Long's eyes.
"The sky is above, I Zhu Long swear, as long as they put down their weapons and surrender, and do not attack me and the Zhujiazhuang soldiers first, I will never kill them!"
Zhu Long pressed his heart with his right hand and raised his head to swear to the sky.
"Good!" Xu Jing's face showed a glint of joy, and said: "It is said that I wish the dragon to be generous and benevolent, and I believe in your words!" If you dare to deceive me, I won't let you go! ”
"Don't dare! Can't! ”
Xu Jing said loudly to the soldiers: "Erlang, put down your weapons and surrender to Zhulong!" ”
The soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, but their feelings were tangled, and one by one they threw their weapons on the ground, as if they had thrown away their souls.
Zhu Long noticed that Xu Jing's own matching sword was still hanging from his waist, and he didn't untie it, frowning, but he didn't say anything.
"The old man is sorry to take you out, but I can't take you home!" Xu Jing's voice suddenly became sad, "If you go home one day, please bring back the old man's bones!" ”
Zhu Long felt that something was wrong and hurriedly rushed over, but Xu Jing had already pulled out his long sword, pointed at Zhu Long, stopped him from coming, shook his head lightly, and said: "The old man has fought all his life, made countless meritorious contributions, and his reputation must not be ruined today!" ”
He paused and said, "As a general, how can I surrender and survive today, I can only die!" ”
After saying that, the horizontal sword killed himself, the blood splashed, and he fell to the ground!
"General!" The officers and soldiers exclaimed in unison.
"General!" More than a dozen of Xu Jing's personal soldiers rushed over, knelt beside Xu Jing's body, and cried bitterly.
Zhu Long sighed, felt very sorry in his heart, and respectfully gave a military salute to Xu Jing's body.
Wu Song, Shi Wengong, Bian Xiang, Zeng Tu, Qiu Yue and others in the back all looked solemn and bowed their heads in silence at the body of the old general.
Zhu Long looked at the more than a dozen pro-soldiers kneeling beside the body in pain, and said bitterly: "You escort the body of General Xu back to Tokyo!" ”
