Chapter 126: Ancestor’s Great Birthday Blessing with Gold (3)
Update time:2012-11-27
"Get rid of him?!"
Zu Zerun screamed out loud, shook his head, and said repeatedly: "No, absolutely not, if He Kegang is killed, our Liao army will be in chaos, and things will be even more difficult to handle!"
Shi Tingdong asked back: "If we don't kill He Kegang, the gold drop will be postponed within a time limit, but can the soldiers and people in this city sustain it? Even if you can delay it, can my Khan King wait for it? If I, Dajin, attack the city in an all-round way, with you
How many days can this isolated city hold out? By then, all the soldiers and civilians in the city will be destroyed, and even if they surrender, it will be too late!"
After saying that, he punched the table hard and said fiercely: "If you cut it off, it will be cut off. If you don't do it early, you will suffer the consequences! Brother, listen to my brother's advice. If my uncle surrenders early, King Khan will definitely treat him badly."
You are so important, if you come down again when the mountains and rivers are exhausted, you will save your life, but your future may be ruined! Is it worth it to involve all the soldiers and civilians in the city for the sake of He Kegang?" [
"This this…"
Zu Zerun thought over and over in his mind and hesitated to agree. Shi Tingdong was eager to perform his duties. Seeing Zu Zerun's hesitation, he became anxious and urged him several times.
He came down to threaten Zu Zerun.
Under the other party's coercion and coaxing, Zu Zerun finally nodded and agreed: "Okay, brother, don't worry, I will go and persuade my father to make up his mind."
The words were not fully finished, and there was no explicit statement that He Kegang must be killed, but with these words, Shi Tingdong also felt relieved, secretly saying that with Zu Dashou's method, killing He Kegang would not be easy. As long as his family really wants to surrender, this matter can be done.
Done.
Not daring to stay any longer at the moment, Shi Tingdong sneaked back to Jin camp at night to recover, while Zu Zerun took the letters from the surrendered generals and brought them to Zu Dashou to read, so as to strengthen Zu Dashou's intention to surrender.
…………
Zu Zerun went back and told Zu Dashou everything Shi Tingdong said. After hearing that the Jin Kingdom guaranteed the lives of the soldiers and civilians in the city and would reuse him, Zu Dashou felt relieved and took the letters in his hands and read them one by one, ten times in one breath.
After a few letters, I was sure that the letters were not false, and only after Zhang Chun's army was completely wiped out did I completely eliminate my worries.
Regarding the matter of killing He Kegang and surrendering, Zu Dashou was not as afraid as his son. Instead, he thought it was a trivial matter. But there was another thing in his mind that kept him from making up his mind, and that was his mother and wife in Ningyuan City.
Mrs. Zu's wife, Xiaozu, was fifteen years old and gave birth to three sons for Zu Dashou. She was not only beautiful, but also virtuous. The word "virtuous" was followed by the word "neng". If He Kegang was Yuan Chonghuan's Zhang Liang, she was Zu Dashou's Kong Ming. Zu Dashou.
Every time there was a crisis in Dashou, this beauty came forward to plan it, and every time she turned the disaster into a blessing. She came from a scholarly family, and she despised the Jurchens from the bottom of her heart. She regarded it as a barbarian and disgusting country, and would rather die than die.
Drop gold.
Zu Dashou’s old mother would not agree to her son’s surrender of gold. She was afraid that if Zu Dashou really surrendered, both mother and wife would be killed. They would never tolerate their son (husband) betraying the court, and they would never do anything.
The mother (wife) of the traitorous general.
If they don't surrender, they will starve to death, and the soldiers and civilians in the city will eat them up one by one, and eventually they will all be destroyed.
If he surrenders, his mother and wife will seek death.
To drop or not to drop?
Zu Dashou had a headache and couldn't make up his mind for a moment. When Zu Zerun saw this, he also came to deceive Zu Dashou like Shi Tingdong had just done, saying that if he didn't surrender, Daijin would no longer accept surrender. When the time came, the army attacked the city.
None of the soldiers or civilians can live.
After this excitement, Zu Dashou suddenly panicked and broke out in a sweat. So regardless of the depth of the night, he called in his two younger brothers, two other sons, four adopted sons, and more than a dozen confidants and beloved generals for a secret discussion.
After all his cronies arrived, Zu Dashou did not say whether he wanted to surrender, but asked them: "I just got the news that the reinforcements have been wiped out. Lord Zhang Chun of the Military Preparation Road and more than 30 generals under his command were all killed by the Jin army."
Prisoners, we have completely cut off foreign aid now, so you can tell us what to do from now on."
Zu Dacheng knew that his eldest brother wanted to surrender, but he couldn't say it first, so he was the first to express his position: "Brother, Daming's energy has been exhausted. According to Shi Tingdong, Mrs. Hong is indeed a wise king, and he is very benevolent and righteous to his subordinates. And we are here
The emperor was so terrible, he actually chopped Yuan Dutang alive! Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger, Chongzhen is not a tiger, he is clearly a man-eating evil ghost. If you work for him, you may be beheaded by him one day! Surrender
Come on, no matter what, we won’t sacrifice our lives for him Chongzhen, surrender!”
Zu Zechuan and Zu Zehong were both still young and wanted to die in Dalinghe City. The two brothers, like their eldest brother Zu Zerun, wanted to live, so the three brothers all agreed with their second uncle: "Rather than do this
The foolish king is working hard, so he might as well change his ways, father, stop thinking about it, let's pay a large sum of money!"
Liu Tianlu, Zhang Cunren, Han Daxun, Zhang Dingliao, Pei Guozhen, Chen Bangxuan, Li Yun and other close confidants of Zu Dashou, except Zhang Cunren, remained silent, and the others agreed to surrender. There was no other way, the city was full of cannibals, and the reinforcements were wiped out.
If we don't surrender, will we wait for those hungry soldiers to eat us too?[
Zheng Changchun, the military counselor, was a scholar. A scholar was afraid of death and saw people eating people in the city every day. He had long wanted to escape from this hellish city, so he tried his best to persuade Zu Dashou to surrender.
The adopted son Zu Kefa, the adopted son Zu Keyuan and others also agreed to surrender.
The brothers, nephews and generals Jia Ai unanimously agreed to surrender, and Zu Dashou no longer hesitated, so he said to them in a deep voice: "Since you all agree to surrender, I won't say anything more, let's surrender a large sum of money."
"It should have been like this a long time ago." Zu Zerun said happily.
Everyone was also overjoyed, with smiles on their faces, but Zhang Cunren closed his eyes in pain and sighed. Seeing him like this, Zu Dashou felt at ease. Zhang Cunren did not object, which meant he agreed.
Zu Dashou raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said: "However, it is impossible for He Kegang to agree to our surrender. His attitude is very firm. I had a conversation with him once, and he refused at that time. If we surrender, this person will definitely block it."
, so we must deal with him."
Counselor Zheng Changchun smiled slightly and said: "Commander Zu, it is actually easy to deal with He Kegang. The difficult thing is how to deal with the group of generals who follow him. These people have soldiers. If they are not removed and a mutiny is triggered,
It’s hard to deal with.”
Zu Dacheng said nonchalantly: "This is easy to handle. We summon them to the meeting in the name of the commander-in-chief, and secretly ambush the swordsman. When they come, we will kill them all."
Zu Dashou nodded and said: "This is also a last resort. For the lives of the entire city's soldiers and civilians, it is inevitable to sacrifice a few people."
At that moment, a group of people secretly discussed the plot of how to kill General He Kegang in Zu Dashou's house. After everything was decided, Zu Dashou's adopted son Zu Kefa stood up and said to Zu Dashou: "Father, I think you must be careful about paying gold.
, there are precedents for Tatars to go back on their word. Therefore, all details and conditions must be finalized before surrendering. I am willing to go to the Jin camp in person to negotiate with them."
"That's fine, I'll leave this matter entirely to you."
Zu Dashou happily agreed, but he was also a little worried that Jiannu would deceive him and force them to sign a covenant in black and white, which would make the matter a certainty.
"The boy will leave the city now."
Zu Kefa was impatient, so he went to Jinying again at night without waiting for dawn. Everyone in the house sat upright until the sky turned white. According to the prior discussion, Han Daxun led the people to send an order to He Kegang and his generals, asking them all to come to the military meeting.
.
Zu Zerun and Zu Dacheng led the ancestral soldiers with swords and axes in hand and hid nearby. They only waited for everyone to arrive before rushing out and killing everyone.
