Prince of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 294: Surrender

Views:

Xin Wang Zhao Zhen first dismissed the prison guards, and then asked Xiaogui Xie to go to Liu Zhengjiang’s cell and bring Liu Zhengjiang to Wang Yun’s cell. The reason for this was that when Wang Yun was taken down by himself that day, he was forced to be taken by him. He broke his leg with the barrel of a gun. Although the officers and soldiers also gave him a simple treatment, if he wants to recover, I am afraid that it will not work for a few months.

Bringing the two together, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen first asked Xiaogui Xie to guard outside the prison, and then he simply sat on the haystack in front of the two. Liu Zhengjiang and Wang Yun glanced at each other, but none of them spoke. They are not fools. If Wang Zhaozhen came to look for them at this moment, there must be something. If we just wait for Wang Zhaozhen to speak first, then look at the situation.

The letter king Zhao Zhen carefully looked at the two generals in front of him. He originally thought they were just two humble little figures among the officers and soldiers. However, under the identification of several officers and soldiers who were later captured, the letter king Zhao Zhen realized that the two men were actually Zhang Jun. Liu Zhengjiang and Wang Yun, who have some names under Zhang Jun!

As for Liu Zhengjiang and Wang Yun, Xin Wang Zhaozhen remembered that it seemed that after the Northern Army could not escape the pursuit of the golden soldiers, he took refuge in Zhang Jun and Zhang Jun. Through espionage, these two individuals are generals who advocate resistance to gold, but they regard Jinbing as their biggest enemy. Liu Zhengjiang and Wang Yun can take refuge in Zhang Jun and Zhang Jun, but they are probably not very loyal. Believe King Zhao Zhen wants to accomplish something without using his original team. First of all, he needs to have someone available under his hand. Liu Zhengjiang and Wang Yun are the best candidates right now.

The letter king Zhao Zhen stared at Liu Zhengjiang and Wang Yun for a long while, and suddenly smiled and said, "I’m afraid you two don’t know who I am? I’m the leader of Shimen City, Zhao Yan! Actually, I still have An identity, that is, I secretly belong to the letter king Zhao Zhen Chitose!"

"Bah! The Eagle Dog of the King of Letters!" As officers and soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty, under the spread and education of many official public opinions, it is naturally impossible to have any good influence on the army of King Letters. I didn't say a word just now, but just kept it in secret. Now that Wang Yun heard the self-introduction of Xin Wang Zhao Zhen, Wang Yun could not help but bitterly cursed at him.

On the side, Liu Zhengjiang was worried that Wang Yun's words annoyed Xin Wang Zhao Zhen. He was cut by the opponent with a sword. He quickly got up to protect Wang Yun and looked at Xin Wang Zhao Zhen warily.

Believe King Zhao Zhen smiled, but he didn't take it seriously, and said, "You said that I am the Eagle Dog of Believe King, yes! I admit it! But in this world, why don't you take refuge in Zhangjiagou officials and play chess pieces under them? The world is unpredictable. Today you and I are the masters, but who can guarantee that we will not fight side by side in the future?" After that, there was a mysterious smile on the face of Xin Wang Zhao Zhen.

Wang Yun was full of disdain, and hummed: "Should I wait to fight with you, the Eagle Dog who betrayed the court? Dreaming!" After listening to Wang Zhao Zhen's words, Liu Zhengjiang seemed to have heard some implication of believing in Wang Zhao Zhen, Liu Zheng He made a gesture to Wang Yun with his hand behind him, signalling Wang Yun not to speak first, and then looked at Xin Wang Zhao Zhen with a calm face, as if waiting for Xin Wang Zhao Zhen to continue speaking.

How can Liu Zhengjiang and Wang Yun’s little actions be concealed from believing in Wang Zhaozhen, but believing in Wang Zhaozhen only smiled, did not say anything, but continued: "Although I did not agree with your so-called extermination from the beginning The chaos and bandits are still peaceful! But I also have to admit that, as you said, the current situation is no longer in name. For the world and the people, a powerful army is needed to protect them and expel the golden soldiers. I'm here! Afterwards, kill corrupt officials again to get rid of corruption. Return the people to a rich and peaceful life. It's a pity that you don't depend on the right people. Otherwise, you might be able to successfully defeat the Golden Soldier and become a hero of the ages!

If the words before the letter to Wang Zhaozhen were a bit obscure, the words now are too obvious. Even Wang Yun has already heard the meaning of the words of the letter to Wang Zhaozhen. He immediately stared at Wang Zhaozhen with wide eyes, with a face full of fear. Faithful look. The words of the letter king Zhao Zhen were put on the court, and that was a rebellious statement. Liu Zhengjiang and Wang Yun had heard such remarks in the officers and soldiers before, but now they did not expect to hear such remarks from the leaders of the bandit army. Such words were said from the leader of a bandit army, and it was obvious that the other party was also a knowledgeable person.

"What do you want to do?" Liu Zhengjiang frowned, and asked in a deep voice: "Just what you just said, you are definitely not a person who just wants to rebel! Do you want to rely on our officers and soldiers? ?"

"Tsk tusk tusk!" Xin Wang Zhao Zhen shook her finger and shook her head and said: "Did you not hear me clearly? I said it. From the beginning, I didn't agree with your officers and soldiers who strangled the people! Now I am not afraid to tell. You, I’m a believer in the king’s army! Believing in the king’s army can lead the people to live peacefully and prosperously. Believing in the king’s army can drive out the golden soldiers. But you all engage in internal fighting. The people of Zhao Gou don’t have a livelihood, and the people can’t survive and rebel everywhere. But Zhao Gou bowed his knees to Jin Bing, brazenly begging for peace, and almost knelt down. Are you still going to die for such a foolish monarch?"

Liu Zhengjiang didn't seem very surprised at the answer of the letter king Zhao Zhen. Long before they attacked Shimen City, they had already investigated some powerful people in Shimen City. They only knew that there was a leader with extraordinary martial arts. According to the plan, Shimen City could not withstand the attacks of officers and soldiers at all, but the result was unexpected.

Although the general named Xinwang Zhao Zhen has only seen him twice, his ability to show is enough to prove that Shimen City will become so difficult to fight. This person must be the main reason!

However, Liu Zhengjiang did not have the intention to blame Wang Zhaozhen for trusting Wang Zhaozhen. As Wang Zhaozhen said before, everyone is his own, and no one is right or wrong when it comes to success or failure. Wang Yun felt the same way, except that he was a little surprised at how young Xin Wang Zhao Zhen had such abilities. He was looking at Xin Wang Zhao Zhen in astonishment, his mouth wide open and speechless.

The letter king Zhao Zhen paused for a while, seemingly to give the two of them a period of time to digest what he had just said, and then continued: "However, even if you take down Shimen City, I am afraid that you will still lose in the end! You know, Why a few days ago, your officers and soldiers had clearly gained the upper hand, but were you still defeated? That is because I believe that Wang Jun secretly transferred reinforcements from Sichuan and Jingxi South Road, not in the establishment, and the British propaganda army from the south. Arrived at the same time! The two armies add up to a total of 60,000! And the original commander of the army that believes in the king's army, but the famous general Wu Jie! You think that the mob of your officers and soldiers can resist what Wu Jie has trained. Army?"

Although I had guessed that the officers and soldiers had been defeated a long time ago, until now, Liu Zhengjiang and Wang Yun finally knew how they were defeated. Wu Jie's name, although both of them are low-level generals from the mountain villagers, they have all heard of it.

In addition to the famous marshal Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi have some skills, and the rest are not worth mentioning. Compared with the famous Wu Jie, Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi have high official positions, but That's too much difference in record. Although I had thought that the King of Letters would send an army without a designation to attack the officers and soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty, I never expected that the army would be sent by Wu Jie.

However, it is also fortunate that Wu Jie did not go out in person. Otherwise, apart from Han Shizhong, I am afraid that none of the officers and soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty will be Wu Jie's opponent. Once Wu Jie is out, the officers and soldiers of these places are also destined to end in the same way!

Thinking of this, Liu Zhengjiang and Wang Yun looked at each other and laughed bitterly. They didn't expect that they planned for so long, but in the end it was nothing but a basket of water.

Seeing the two men moved a little, although Xin Wang Zhao Zhen didn't have any expressions on her face, she was relieved in her heart. What he said just now is half true and half false, and the purpose is to impress these two people for their own use. Uprisings in various places will indeed fail, and Wu Jie's army will appear in Shimen at this time, which also shocked the letter Wang Zhao Zhen at that time.

Later, the letter to Wang Zhao Zhen knew the reason. This is because although the officers and soldiers surrounded Shimen City, they did not block the news that Shimen City and the outside world were passing on. When Shimen City was surrounded by hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers, the news that Xin Wang Zhao Zhen still personally adhered to Wu Jie's barracks. Wu Jie, who was originally prepared to lead the army to directly attack the Shimen officers and soldiers, was immediately taken aback.

Wu Jie was about to go east to rescue Shimen immediately, but then the king's order of believing in Wang Zhaozhen was sent over immediately, in order to avoid the believing king's army and the Southern Song court to tear his skin, let the golden soldiers and the puppet Qi State fishermen benefit, so that he could not move forward. Come to support.

Although Wang Zhaozhen came to order not to send troops to support him, Wu Jie was worried about the safety of his lord, so he sent the two generals Niu Ruidong and Ma Yunrui personally gathered by Wang Zhaozhen, and led tens of thousands of recruits trained in Sichuan and Jingxi. Wang Jun is elite, directly under the banner of the king of cows and horses, and came to support.

As for the British propaganda reinforcements from the south, it is even simpler. Originally, the British propaganda and the Shimen letter king Zhao Zhen had a secret alliance agreement, but this time he was frightened by Zhang Jun’s initial number of troops and demonstrations. , Did not dare to send troops to aid.

But I didn't expect that this blink of an eye would have passed for a long time. The hundreds of thousands of troops were flabbergasted that they could not take down the small Shimen City. This made Yingxuan a little moved. Coupled with the persuasion of his subordinates, Yingxuan convened. All his soldiers and horses came to assist, but they did not expect to meet Wu Jie's army.

Of course, these coincidence letters, Wang Zhaozhen, would naturally not tell Liu Zhengjiang and Wang Yun, and now he is using this to persuade them. And everything is like the plan of Wang Zhaozhen, Liu Zhengjiang and Wang Yun were not very firm in their beliefs in the Southern Song Dynasty court. The words of the Wang Zhaozhen who were trusted by Zhao Zhen are even more bottomless.

Liu Zhengjiang looked at Wang Yun, but Wang Yun responded with an expression of "I listen to you", making it clear that everything is for Liu Zheng to call the shots in the future. Liu Zhengjiang couldn't help gritting his teeth, and finally turned his head to look at the letter king Zhao Zhen, and said in a deep voice: "I know you told us this, nothing more than wishing us to return to you! I admit that what you said touched us! But , How can you guarantee that what you just said is not your rhetoric? Do you believe in the king really want to expel the golden soldiers and restore me to Da Song Heshan? You know, the imperial army has never fought against the golden soldiers and let the kingdom of Jin build The puppet regime of Qi State."

After all, Liu Zhengjiang and Wang Yun have no good feelings about the imperial court that does not resist the Golden Soldiers. Otherwise, they will not join Wang Zhaozhen. However, although they do not have much sense of belonging to the officers and soldiers, if they want them to betray the Song Dynasty, they It is absolutely impossible to do.

Therefore, even though what Wang Zhaozhen said just now fits the minds of Liu Zhengjiang and Wang Yun, he still feels a little uneasy, so he specifically confirmed it.

The letter king Zhao Zhen secretly delighted, Liu Zhengjiang said this, then this thing is basically done! Immediately, the letter king Zhao Zhen still held back, calmed down, and said, "If you want any evidence to prove it, I admit that I can’t get it out now. However, even though the imperial court instills the letter to you that the king army is bad, oppress and rob a hundred people. The letter is Jinbing’s lackey and other lies. However, you should also know that Xinwangjun really defeated Jinbing and seized large areas of land in the Song Dynasty, such as Lianghe Road, Jingzhao Road, and Jingxi South Road. We believe Wang thinks What we need to do is to expel the Golden Soldiers and restore the Da Song Heshan! Not only that, we have to go straight to the Huanglong and destroy the Golden State.”

The words of the letter king Zhao Zhen did not weave any beautiful words, nor did they promise any benefits. It was just the pride exuded from the letter king Zhao Zhen that both Liu Zhengjiang and Wang Yun couldn't help being moved.

Wang Yun's eyes kept shining with brilliance. He was originally from Shandongbei Road. He was defeated when he was a soldier on Shandongbei Road. Later, he was forced to escape with the defeated soldiers.

His hometown was occupied by foreign enemies, so he naturally wanted to fight back. And what Wang Zhaozhen said is exactly what Wang Yun has always wanted to achieve over the years.

And Liu Zhengjiang, who is about the same life experience as Wang Yun, is really tempted. It is just that he is cautious by nature. He still hesitates. He lowered his head and thought, but did not agree. Instead, he suddenly raised his head and said, "If you want us to return. For you, we can promise! But you must promise us a request! This time Lord Zhang, no, Zhang Jun was defeated. You should have captured a lot of officers and soldiers! I hope you can let them live! As long as you can do it At this point, we are absolutely willing to surrender and be loyal to you!"

The letter king Zhao Zhen was stunned at first, but immediately smiled and nodded in agreement, without even thinking about it for a while. In fact, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen had been hitting the ideas of those officers and soldiers from the very beginning. Although these officers and soldiers are just a mob, but after rigorous training, it can be a ready-made army! If you change to someone else, you may still be concerned about the identity of the other party, but trusting Wang Zhaozhen is absolutely no taboo, because he knows that all the officers and soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty will become their own anti-golden army in the future!

Originally believed that Wang Zhaozhen had planned to let them both help him persuade them to surrender the prisoners of the officers and soldiers after they had conquered Liu Zhengjiang and Wang Yun, but now he didn't expect that Liu Zhengjiang would actually propose it.

Seeing the letter king Zhao Zhen agreeing, Liu Zhengjiang and Wang Yun glanced at each other and nodded at the same time. Then Liu Zhengjiang helped Wang Yun to stand up slowly, and both of them bowed their fists to the letter king Zhao Zhen at the same time, and said "In that case! As long as the adults can rescue the captured brothers, the two of me are willing to do the same for the adults!"

"Okay! The big man said it! It's hard to chase the horse!" Xin Wang Zhao Zhen yelled, and then even turned his head to shout to Xiaogui Xie who was outside the cell: "Thank you General! Quickly get what I asked you to prepare. Bring it!" Xiaogui Xie was also awarded as a general by the letter king. But because their identities cannot be revealed, their position is now just the name of a general. As for what position is it, what is their official status? But there is no conclusion yet. But everyone knows that Xinwang Zhao Zhen will not treat them badly.

Outside the cell, Xie Xiaogui, who could not wait, heard the call of King Xin Wang, and immediately got into the cell with a large package in his hand. After paying a salute to King Xin Wang Zhao Zhen, he left the package at Liu. In front of Zhengjiang and Wang Yun.

The letter king Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "Well, this armor is a good armor made of 100 steel, which can protect your lives in battle. It is a reward for you to vote for me. It must be a good thing that you can't get in general. , You all put it on!"

I believed Wang Zhaozhen to say this. Liu Zhengjiang and Wang Yun were moved in their hearts, and they were relieved. They picked up the package and changed their clothes and armor neatly. Although Wang Yun was inconvenient, with the help of Liu Zhengjiang, The changeover was completed very quickly.
