Chapter 52: Resoluteness
If there is an unknown general to defend the city, it is estimated that Liu Xun will have to be blinded by this strategy. Because few people have the courage and resourcefulness of Tai Shici, they can only be said to be smart but mistaken by cleverness.
Huang Xing couldn't help but nod when he heard this, and smiled approvingly at Tai Shici's praise: "If there are clever strategies in this world, who can compare to my lord?" In terms of wisdom, who is better than our father-in-law? This time, Hugh said that it was you Tai Shi Ci, even if it was Cao Cao, Zhou Yu and other outstanding people, they would definitely be defeated at the hands of the lord. ”
If Liu Xun heard this, it is estimated that most of them would still be red, and at the same time, he would definitely admit it silently.
At dawn, Liu Xun, who received the battle report, was satisfied and led the army all the way into Yuzhang City.
The first thing Liu Xun did when he entered Yuzhang County was to appoint Huang Xing as the Taishou, responsible for Zhang Bang Anmin, and ordered Gan Ning, Deng Qiang, and Zhang Brown to settle down and surrender the troops, and then ordered someone to push Tai Shici in his heart to the account.
Yuzhang County Taishou Mansion
Liu Xun was very happy to move here, and at this moment he was sitting in the hall waiting for Tai Shici to come.
But said that after Tai Shici was escorted up, he just glanced at Liu Xun lightly, no matter how Lu Jiangjun scolded him, he still stood up and didn't bow, coldly swept the escorted sergeant, and then closed his eyes and said nothing.
Liu Xun didn't think it was wrong, and hurriedly stood up, and said with a smile: "This will order you to invite General Ziyi over, how dare you snub your distinguished guests so much?" Why don't you apologize quickly? ”
saw that the two personal soldiers who pushed Tai Shi Ci up hurriedly apologized to Tai Shi Ci.
Tai Shi Ci sneered: "Liu Xun, you don't have to be so hypocritical, when I am a three-year-old child?" Now that the army is defeated and captured, it is really self-inflicted, if you want to kill today, you will kill it, listen to and respect, no matter how you treat each other, my Tai Shi Ci will never be subservient to you. ”
Huang Xing on the side said with a smile: "Hehe, lord, the last general has long heard that Taishi Ziyi is a hero of the world, not only loyalty, but also commitment, but when I see it today, the last general really doesn't dare to agree, it seems that this person is really exaggerating." A foolish person like Tai Shici, there are even people who say that he is loyal, it is ridiculous, talking to this person, it is really a waste of tongue, according to the words of the last general, it is better to drag him out and behead him directly, and fulfill his so-called loyalty. ”
As soon as Huang Xing's words fell, he heard Tai Shi Ci shouting: "Who are you?" What do you mean by that? Could it be that I am too generous to die, not loyalty? And surrender to you is considered loyal? How can a mediocre person like you know the word loyalty? ”
Huang Xing sneered: "Loyalty? Hero? Are you too Shi Ci also worthy? Let me ask you, whose subordinate were you in the first place? At the beginning, you were entrusted by Liu Zhengli, the assassin of Yangzhou, to lead the army to meet Sun Ce, Liu Yangzhou was defeated and retreated to Yuzhang, and died of grief, if you are loyal, you should follow Liu Yangzhou, but you ignore Liu Yangzhou's bones and bones are not cold, so you are greedy for life and fear of death to join the enemy, and even sent Liu Yangzhou's old department to Sun Ce, is this what you call loyalty? How can such a betrayer speak of loyalty? ”
What Huang Xing said is reasonable, and every word is heart-wrenching. At the moment, he is as arrogant as Tai Shi Ci is also speechless.
Seeing that Tai Shi Ci was silent, Huang Xing continued to scold: "This Sun Ce is a Han thief, and you, as a citizen of the Han Dynasty, are you also loyal to such a traitor?" ”
But he saw Tai Shici say loudly: "Who said that my lord is a thief? He is the general Andong and the Marquis of Wu canonized by the imperial court, and my allegiance to my lord is not the same as that of the imperial court? ”
Unexpectedly, Liu Xun on the side laughed and said: "Haha, who in this world doesn't know?" Sun Ce's father, Sun Jian, secretly hid the jade seal of the heirloom and did not hand it over to the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, isn't this a thief? Sun Jian was a courtier of the Han Dynasty, but he hid the jade seal and hurriedly returned to Changsha, ignoring the Son of Heaven in the clutches of Dong Thief. If he hadn't been ambushed and killed by Liu Biao halfway, wouldn't he have to rely on this to become the emperor in the south after returning to Changsha? Although Sun Jian died and Sun Ce dedicated the jade seal to the traitor Yuan Shu for his own interests, as a result, Yuan Shu rebelled and became the emperor in Huainan, causing chaos in the world. ”
"This ......" Tai Shi Ci couldn't help but stop when he heard this, Liu Xun's words were high-sounding, although everyone knew that the Han family had existed in name only, but at least on the surface, they all admitted that they were Han courtiers, so in fact, it was impossible to refute it at all, unless he directly announced those "big rebellion" words.
Liu Xun saw that Tai Shici was silent, and decided to take a dose of fierce medicine, so he continued: "As a minister of Liu Yangzhou, you succumb to the thief, because you are disloyal; The body is skinned, and the parents who receive it, now you don't spare your life, just for your own fame, but let the old mother at home have no one to support, it is unfilial; As a citizen of the Han Dynasty, you see the chaos in the world, not to mention that you are promising, and you use the sword in your hand to calm the chaos for the people of the world, and protect the society and the peace, but you are bent on death, which is unkind; You have wives and children, but you can't bear to leave them, let them suffer from loneliness and widowhood, and suffer all the sorrows of the world, is it for injustice, like you who are disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unjust, what face do you have to say heroes here? If the whole world is full of heroes like you, it is better to die all of them, so as not to shame the ancestors and future generations. Liu Xun's words were fierce and righteous, so that Tai Shici couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat after hearing it, especially when he thought of his parents, wife and children, his eyes were full of tears and heartache.
He has been filial to his mother all his life, but Rong Ma has never been filial in front of his mother's knees all his life, and now he can hear Liu Xun say that he doesn't cherish his own words, where can he bear it? So he fell on the ground and kowtowed in the direction of his mother and said, "It is the child who is not filial, which makes the mother worry about the child again and again." ”
Huang Xing, who was on the side, couldn't help but be shocked when he heard Liu Xun's words. Looking at Tai Shi Ci in front of him, he said that this time Tai Shi Ci's heart for death had been shaken, and there should be a drama about the surrender, so he secretly gave Liu Xun a thumbs up, and thought silently: "The lord is really talented, and what he said just now was so high-sounding that not only negated Tai Shi Ci in terms of righteousness, but also started from an emotional point of view, which is really amazing." ”
Liu Xun saw Tai Shi Ci crying bitterly, but he didn't stop it, and when he finished venting, he said slowly: "Tai Shi Ziyi, I miss your generation of generals, I can't bear to bury it, I don't know if you are willing to create a great cause with me?" ”
A hint of pain flashed on Tai Shici's face, and after all, he shook his head firmly and said, "Thank you Liu Taishou for your kindness." I also know that there is no right or wrong in the battlefield. After all, it was my father-in-law who had a bad heart towards you first, so I can't hold a grudge against you for his death, but he died at your hands after all. Now I don't hate you, but if I surrender to you, then what face do I have to meet Jiangdong's father. As the so-called heroes don't serve the three masters, so please kill me. I will not hold a grudge against you, and I will thank you for fulfilling my loyalty. ”
