Chapter 1620 It makes sense to kill you and keep you
After hearing Zhang Bofen's statement, Xiao Tang hesitated for a moment, and then said: "It's just that the Imperial Guards commanded by your Majesty have been defeated by the Jin Army. Although General Zhang wants to retaliate, after all, he can't do it alone... Although he killed
The foreign invaders of the Jin army who invaded Jingdong Road were defeated, but after all, the national traitor Liu Yu also gathered a lot of troops and horses. General Zhang is determined to inherit your father's legacy and expel the Tartars. After our army has rested and reorganized, is he willing to follow my troops for the time being?
"
"Xiao Shuai was kind and kind, and he was so grateful for his fate that he forgot about his body. He asked me to have my father's body buried in a funeral ceremony, so that I could help him return to his hometown for burial... As for whether I am willing to join the rebel army and go north to fight against the Tatars and the traitors who surrendered to the Jin Dynasty.
..Xiao Renxia was very considerate of my father and showed great kindness to the general. Therefore, I should express my heart to him at this time. Except for Zhang Zhongxiong, the beast who defiled the family, most of my ancestors of the Zhang family sacrificed their lives for the imperial court.
A loyal and loyal minister with a good reputation will definitely explain his loyalty to the emperor clearly to Commander Xiao.
Now that we are able to work together as one, it is all because the Jinlu foreign invaders covet the mountains and rivers of China. Xiao Shuai is magnanimous and benevolent and considers himself a loyal minister of the country. However, in the end, his loyalty to the court will not waver in the slightest. If he surrenders because he is grateful for Xiao Shuai's kindness, I am afraid that
I'm just afraid that I'll end up in a dilemma in the future..."
Zhang Bofen said frankly, but couldn't help but sigh. Now his father Zhang Shuye was defeated and committed suicide, while his brother Zhang Zhongxiong became a rebellious traitor who defected to the Jin people. As for the other uncles of the Zhang family in the court
Among the officials: Zhang Kegong, the younger brother of his father Zhang Shuye, and his clan uncle, although he was an upright courtier who dared to impeach the traitor Cai Jing in the Bianjing court, he died of illness in the seventh year of Yu Zhenghe; and another clan uncle, Zhang Kejian, first
At the time of the national crisis, he was appointed as the prefect of Fenzhou on Hedong Road. He organized his troops and fought against the enemy with all his strength. Although he was highly regarded by Li Gang, an important official in the court, he was ambushed by the Jin army while dispatching military resources. He also committed suicide (official history).
When Taiyuan Prefecture on Zhonghe East Road fell, Zhang Kejian desperately defended Fenzhou, but he was encircled and attacked by the famous Jin army general Wanyan Loushi. After the Jin army broke through the city, Zhang Kejian led everyone to fight with the Jin soldiers in the streets. Seeing that the situation was over, he burned incense in court clothes
Facing the south and worshiping, he committed suicide)...The previous defeat resulted in the loss of Jeju and other places one after another. It is not known how the court will deal with it. Thinking of this, Zhang Bofen couldn't help but feel sad and panic for a while.
Even so, Zhang Bofen's expression was calm, and he bowed to Xiao Tang respectfully and said: "I have to trouble Marshal Xiao to be considerate and considerate of my father's regrets. I only regret that I was defeated in the previous battle and was defeated at the hands of Jin Lu. The army was defeated."
I am responsible for the loss of my master and the loss of the state capital. The general must go there in person to wait for the imperial court to take action. As a sign of guilt, I hope to be re-employed by the court. But there is one thing I can make clear to Xiao Shuai. In the future, the general will die.
The enemy will only be the Tartar foreigners who invaded our country and the country, and the traitorous traitor who joined the gold thieves. They will never be the green forest heroes gathered by Xiao Shuai who once betrayed the imperial court...
"
Then Zhang Bofen asked Xiao Tang to resign. Although he was still very weak, he still tried to stand up straight, as if he still didn't want to show weakness in front of Xiao Tang or even the rebel leaders present. But when Xiao Tang and the rebel leaders were present, Zhang Bofen asked him to resign.
When all the brothers looked at him, Zhang Bofen still looked particularly lonely and lonely.
For this official son who followed his father to Jeju to command the imperial army, and for a long period of time he stationed troops in Liangshan, Shuibo, posing a threat to his own army. Although he was still loyal to the court, he saw that Zhang Bofen was not jealous. Bu Fa, retreating miserably, it was hard for most of the leaders present to have any hostility toward him; however, there was another figure who had also been an enemy of Xiao Tang's rebels, and had been with many of his enemies in the past. The former green forest tycoon who had a close relationship with the leaders of Xiao Tang has now taken the initiative to surrender. Compared with their attitude towards Zhang Bofen, most of the leaders treat him very unkindly. Even among many leaders below Xiao Tang, some have already A murderous intention arose.
Because the battlefield was cleaned, the remains of the fallen soldiers were gathered, and a quantity of grain, weapons, and property were seized and dressed, and all the captured defeated Jin army soldiers were also taken into custody. After a brief reorganization, Xiao Tang led the army to set off again in a mighty manner, first with the squadron. Juye City, the seat of the Jeju government, has been recaptured even now. When the leaders such as Chao Gai, Gongsun Sheng, Xu Guanzhong and others who occupied the government office all came out of the city to greet them, it was natural that Chao Gai recommended him and explained his reasons. Xiao Tang then returned Once, I met Song Jiang, who used to be the leader of Liangshan village, but was recruited by the court and had a military encounter with the rebel army led by Xiao Tang...
In the hall of the Jeju Government Office, although there were countless pairs of unkind eyes cast around, Song Jiang lowered his eyebrows and prostrated in the middle of the hall, obviously lowering his posture to the extreme; and Li Kui on the side was obviously He refused to bow down to Song Jiang even to death. His dark face was still full of dissatisfaction and resentment. He gave Xiao Tang a random salute. Immediately, a pair of strange eyes began to look back and forth, only looking at the surrounding people with cold eyes. The leader stared back, it seemed that because of Song Jiang's previous strict restraint, the black guy didn't even say anything nonsense anymore. As for Du Bu, he bowed to Xiao Tang calmly, showing respect and sincerity with every move he made. It doesn't look like a fake at all.
Xiao Tang was sitting at the head, his brows slightly furrowed, and he was silent for a moment. Although now he would immediately judge Song Jiang's fate as soon as he opened his mouth, in fact, Xiao Tang couldn't help but murmur in his heart: Song Jiang Song Jiang, you are playing this trick with me. Killing you, keeping you, letting you go... seems to be reasonable. How should I deal with it?
At this time, Hua Rong, who was sitting sideways, suddenly stood up. He glanced at Song Jiang with a sigh, and after reassuring himself, he immediately turned to Xiao Tang and said, "Brother, although Brother Song Jiang...Song Gongming is obsessed with it." After being recruited by the imperial court, we fought with our brothers. But in the past, our brothers gathered together to engage in rebellion and fought with various imperial troops. Now we share the same hatred with the officers and soldiers to resist foreign humiliation. Since Song Gongming also does not want to look at it. The Jurchen Tatars are causing trouble in our mountains and rivers in the Central Plains. Since he has come to join us and fight against the invaders, my brother is an open-minded person, so why can't he be tolerated?"
Xiao Tang couldn't help but sigh secretly when he saw this, and thought in his heart: Brother Hua Rong has a deep sense of loyalty. For the sake of friendship, he would not only give up his official career, but even his life, but he would do it to me and Song Jiang. Look at it this way... Even though Hua Rong had clearly distanced himself from Song Jiang when he became his opponent that day, he would still step forward to protect Song Jiang at critical moments like this.
However, when Hua Rongfang finished speaking, someone in the hall suddenly said in a deep voice: "At first, we followed King Chao Tian to feel the kindness of Song Jiang and ran to Jiangzhou to rescue him regardless of the danger. We returned to Liangshan and recommended him to the second place. But later
So what? On the surface, this guy has a lot of friends in the green forest, and the heroes of the world praise him and call him a timely rain. However, Song Jiang once occupied the position of leader of Liangshan Village, but he insisted on being recruited by the court, and did not hesitate to become a powerful and treacherous minion.
Come to harm the brother who had a sworn friendship at the beginning! He only wanted to be a servant of the imperial court, and he thought that his status in the forest had tarnished his reputation. It was I, Liu Tang, who was blinded at the beginning, but I still called this guy brother!
I am a rough man, but I know that loyal brothers should be honest with each other. Ordinarily, a traitor would just pay for it, but now that I think about it, it is Song Jiang who talks about loyalty, but secretly pays tribute to Jia Yi and only cares about his fame.
The villain is the most hateful! This guy did something that betrayed his trust. According to the rules of the road, it is not an exaggeration to kill him. If brother Xiao Tang really takes this guy in, with Song Jiang's scheming, how can he know this guy?
