Jiang Rang and Yang Ying's expressions changed drastically at the same time. They looked behind them and saw a man covered in blood. He was held hostage by several wolf-like soldiers of Fu Pi and dragged to the front of the palace. The team leading the team was holding them hostage.
With a wave of their hands, several sergeants threw the man forward heavily, and he fell in front of them. His appearance could be vaguely seen in his unkempt hair, and Yang Ying's voice began to tremble: "You
,Are you Yang Badou?"
Yang Badou opened his mouth, but it was full of blood, and his tongue was completely missing. Obviously, in order to keep his master's secret, this loyal soldier did not hesitate to bite his tongue to commit suicide under severe punishment, but he did not
It was only after death that he became what he is now.
Guang Zuo sneered and said: "General Yang has a good memory. This person is your personal soldier Yang Badou, and he is also the secret envoy who sends messages back and forth between you two and the Jin army!"
Yang Ying's body swayed, almost falling to the ground. Jiang Rang on one side had beads of sweat on his forehead, but he still forced himself to say calmly: "Guang Zuo, you are framing us, what are you doing?"
Evidence to prove that we have colluded with the Jin army? After taking down one of General Yang's soldiers and then beating him into submission, what confession can't be forced out? Your Highness, this eunuch has always been ruthless and cunning, and there are many ways to frame him. How many will he bring this time?
Hundreds of sergeants went out of the city to recruit various counties to surrender, but they were able to escape unharmed when Murong Chui's army encircled him. He might have some secret collusion with Murong Chui, so you must not believe him."
Fu Pi sneered and said: "I have my own judgment and will not take any side. Jiang Shangshu, you said that Guang Pushe wronged you and beat this soldier into submission. So what's going on with this letter?"
As Fu Pi spoke, he took out a roll of parchment from his arms and threw it heavily in front of Jiang Rang. Jiang Rang did not bend down to pick it up because he knew without looking that it was written by him.
In the corner of the page, the vigorous and powerful handwriting says it all.
Guang Zuo said coldly: "This messenger of yours is very careful. He actually put this secret message in the middle of the hairpin. It took us a lot of effort to find it, but it fell into our hands.
Even if he is a dead man, our family can still make him speak!"
When Jiang Rang saw what happened, he didn't say anything more. He simply closed his eyes and murmured: "It's a pity that Yang Ying didn't listen to me and didn't stop Fu Pi earlier. Otherwise, how would he be like today?"
disaster!"
The muscles on Fu Pi's face were beating, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Jiang Rang, my father treats you very well. He has allowed you, a villager in Tianshui, to become an important minister of the country, and I have regarded you as my mentor and think tank in the past few years.
, it can be said that you obey my words, why did you let me down like this, betray me, betray the King of Heaven, betray the Qin Dynasty?!"
Yang Ying's knees softened, and he knelt down with a "plop" and kowtowed: "Mr. Changle, please forgive me, Mr. Changle, please forgive me, Jiang Rang ordered me to do this. He, he detained my family, I
, I have to obey his orders!"
Jiang Rang opened his eyes and looked at Yang Ying with a look of disdain on his face: "What a greedy dog that is afraid of death. You have more skills than you. A great general can kneel down here and beg for mercy."
If you’re not afraid of embarrassment, do you think you can get your life just by asking for help? It’s just a laughing stock!”
After Jiang Rang scolded Yang Ying, he turned to Fu Pi and said seriously: "Mr. Changle, please allow me to call you this for the last time. I negotiated peace with the Jin army behind your back for your own good. Now the Qin State has been destroyed.
It's a foregone conclusion. Although King Fu Tian was a benevolent king, he was unable to save himself. He was trapped in Chang'an, with no food and grass inside, no reinforcements outside, and strong enemies around him. Defeat was only a matter of time. As for you, guarding Ye City is not so much a matter of time.
The loyalty to the Qin State is rather for your dream of being an emperor. We understand this tacitly. At this time, you don’t mind me saying it."
The corner of Fu Pi's mouth curled up, and he sneered: "Jiang Rang, I only brought these few people to interrogate you today, just to hear your last words. As we are masters and servants, you also helped me these few days."
For the sake of the year, I can give you a whole body without offending your family. If you have any last words, you can explain them, if you have any strategies, you can also dedicate them to me in the end. I will not do it just because you betrayed me.
I don’t think about it at all. After all, you are a Han and I am a Di. This is an unchangeable fact. I can understand your heart for the Jin Kingdom."
Jiang Rang shook his head: "Your Highness, you still don't understand my intentions. The King of Heaven's defeat is doomed, but how are you better than him? Even if he is defeated on the front foot, you can become emperor on the back foot here.
How many days can you survive? In these troubled times, how many people are proclaimed emperors, and how many of them have a good end? Those who know the current affairs are heroes. The failure of your Lueyang Fu family is irreversible, and you have to invest in the future.
If you are wise, you will have a chance of survival."
Guang Zuo laughed: "Jiang Rang, at this time, do you still want to deceive the public and save your own life? I tell you, don't think about it. Do you think that surrendering to the Jin Kingdom will make His Highness safe? Then go to Qingzhou.
Fu Lang, the governor, raised his state and surrendered to the Jin Dynasty. He himself had always been arty and thought that he was a famous scholar and had the same virtues as the children of the Han family. What happened? Instead of giving the Jin Dynasty an excuse to kill him, he surrendered to the Jin Dynasty.
You probably won't be short of glory and wealth, but you pushed His Highness into the fire bed, and you're still talking about what's best for His Highness!"
Jiang Rang said calmly: "There was no problem with Fu Lang's surrender to the Jin Dynasty. The fault was that he did not keep a low profile after his surrender. Instead, he got involved in the disputes between the upper-class families of the Jin Dynasty and became a victim in vain. If His Highness surrenders to the Jin Dynasty, I will
I will try my best to advise him and protect him, and I will definitely not let him follow in the footsteps of Fu Lang."
Guang Zuo said coldly: "It is better to surrender to Murong Chui than to surrender to Jin. At least those Qin clans in Hebei who surrendered to the Yan thieves are still alive and well. Jiang Rang, if you have any last words, just tell them quickly. Don't do it."
You are stalling for time, your Liu Laozhi is still far away from Yecheng, he can't save you."
Jiang Rang looked at Fu Pi and said calmly: "Your Highness, I don't regret dying. I just hope that you can think of the soldiers and people in the city and find a way for them to live. If you really don't want to be demoted, please get it."
After the Jin State's military supplies, it will return to Bingzhou in the west early. The land of Yecheng and Hebei will be left to Jin Yan to fight for. If you occupy Bingzhou, you can wait for opportunities to plot the land of Hebei and Guanzhong. If you retreat, you can return to the Monan Grassland and claim it outside the Great Wall.
King, this is your only way to survive."
Fu Pi's brows were furrowed: "I have guarded Yecheng for so many years, why don't I just give it up if I don't want it?"
Jiang Rang nodded firmly: "Murong Chui has not attacked the city with all his strength in these years. Although I don't know his intentions, I am very sure of this. Now that the Jin army is here, they will never show mercy. No matter which side it is,
They are not something you can deal with. The only way to survive is to retreat to Bingzhou while Jin and Yan are fighting!"
