The two captains were stunned for a moment when they heard this.
Instead of being angry, they felt relieved.
It seems that Zhao Heng didn't notice them, which is great news.
One of the school lieutenants said with a smile: "Those who hold a humble position and the like have a humble position, so officials will naturally not see those who hold a humble position."
Another captain pulled him, stepped forward, clasped his fists at Kou Zhun and said, "Mr. Kou, I have been deceived by a villain and made a big mistake. I wonder how the government plans to deal with these people?"
Kou Zhun snorted coldly: "According to what you did, you should have been killed on the spot. But the officials are kind and unwilling to commit more crimes. You are also loyal to the officials and have been deceived by the villain. You guys
The officials can feel your loyalty, so they decided to treat you lightly."
When the two captains heard this, they hurriedly asked in unison: "How do officials deal with people in low-level positions?"
Kou Zhun glanced at the two of them and said calmly: "Assigned to the northwest and guarded the border for three years."
When the two captains heard this, they looked at each other, and one of them gritted his teeth and said, "Can't the government allow low-ranking people to stay in the Forbidden Army?"
Kou Zhun roared angrily: "You have committed rebellion, are you going to let the officials reward you?"
Kou Zhun stared at them and continued to yell: "Stay in the Forbidden Army? You really dare to think that if I did such a thing and was pardoned by the officials, I would definitely run far away.
I still want to stay in the imperial army and under the eyes of the officials.
do what?
Always remind the officials that you have committed a crime or committed chaos?
Do you think you have a long life?"
After Kou Zhun reminded them, they realized how stupid their idea was.
Immediately, the two captains said with guilty faces: "It's because the people in the humble position are greedy. It is already a great gift for the officials to pardon the death penalty of the people in the humble position."
Kou Zhun's eyes lingered on them and asked coldly: "What are you waiting for? Are you going to make the same mistake again and again? Why don't you abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side quickly?"
One of the school captains heard this and said with a bitter face: "Kou Gong, can you allow me to discuss this with the others?"
Kou Zhun frowned, pondered for a moment, and said dissatisfied: "I only give you time to wait for a stick of incense."
"Thank you Mr. Kou..."
After the two captains surrendered to Kou Zhun, they retreated to the rebels and discussed.
Kou Zhun looked at them and asked Kou Ji in a low voice, "What do you think they will do?"
Kou Ji pondered: "They should choose to surrender."
Kou Zhun raised his eyebrows and asked with a low smile, "Why do you see it?"
Kou Ji smiled and said: "My grandfather has already said this. If they don't surrender, they will be dead."
Kou Zhun was stunned, narrowed his eyes and said: "The West City has been breached, and the palace is about to be unable to defend it. Why do you expect them to be defeated?"
Kou Ji glanced at the killing ground below the city wall and whispered: "Because until now, my grandson has not seen any generals from the Wuxun family appear. It is impossible for them to sit still due to the scene tonight.
Since you can't see them on the battlefield, they must be hiding somewhere, gathering together, waiting for opportunities."
Kou Ji looked at Kou Zhun and laughed softly: "If my grandson remembers correctly, there are hundreds of martial arts families in Bianjing City. According to the number of generals that the imperial court allows them to retain, there are hundreds of martial arts families.
The total number of generals in the Xun family should be more than 20,000.
These people are all fierce soldiers who have been fighting on the battlefield for many years. Once they take action, even if they cannot destroy the rebels led by Zhou Huaizheng, they can still be driven back."
Hearing this, Kou Zhun nodded with satisfaction.
He asked Kou Ji in a low voice, "Do you know why Cao Wei asked the officials to move just now?"
Kou Ji thought for a while and laughed in a low voice: "Maybe he doesn't want the officials to see the generals of the Wuxun family gathering together."
Kou Zhun nodded and sighed: "More than 20,000 warriors, added together, are a considerable force. Even if they face an army of 100,000, they are still capable of fighting. On weekdays, they are quietly lurking in Bianjing City. Once they
When they get together, they can do anything they want in this city.
This is the true heritage of the Wuxun family.
It is precisely because of this that they don't want the officials to see it.
Afraid that officials will take away their last bit of information."
Kou Ji smiled lightly and said no more.
He felt that even if Zhao Heng saw the secrets of the Wuxun family, he would not be able to take them away.
Because Zhao Heng lacks the courage and courage to break up with the Wuxun family and have a big fight.
"coming……"
Just when Kou Ji was secretly judging Zhao Heng, Kou Zhun suddenly started.
Kou Ji looked intently and saw the two captains reappearing in front of Kou Zhun.
One of the captains raised his hand to Kou Zhun and said: "Kou Gong, Bei Shi and others have discussed it and are willing to abandon the dark side and surrender to the bright side to make up for their mistakes. However, Bei Shi and others hope to meet with the official and listen to the official's personal promise to spare Bei Shi and others from death."
No one wants to die if they can live.
Although he was sent to the northwest and guarded the border for three years, he was far from as comfortable as he had been in Bianjing City.
But they made such a big mistake, Zhao Heng could forgive them and spare them from death, which is already a grace.
They dare not have any other extravagant hopes.
Kou Zhun seemed to have expected that the rebels would have such a request. He said calmly: "You two go with me, and I will take you to meet with the officials."
The two captains turned around and bowed their hands to the rebels behind them.
As if he was going to die, he followed Kou Zhun's Kou bus to Zhao Heng's dragon bed.
Arriving in front of Zhao Henglong's bed, Kou Zhun slightly cupped his hands and said loudly: "I am going to report to the officials. After persuasion by the old ministers, there are people in the rebel army who are willing to abandon the dark side and surrender to the bright side to make up for their mistakes."
When Zhao Heng heard this, he was overjoyed, opened a corner of the dragon couch, and said excitedly: "Seriously?"
Kou Zhun nodded and said: "Of course..."
Zhao Heng hurriedly said: "Ask them to assist the palace guards and resist the rebels together. After the rebels are pacified, I will definitely..."
"Spare them alive!"
Seeing that Zhao Heng wanted to reward him, Kou Zhun quickly took over the conversation.
Before Zhao Heng could speak, Kou Zhun looked at the two captains and said: "If you commit rebellion, you should be punished. Officials are kind-hearted and do not want to commit more crimes. As long as you abandon the secret and turn to the light and make up for your mistakes, I will spare your life."
I sent you to the northwest and guarded the border for three years. Why don't you thank me quickly?"
When the two captains heard this, they quickly kowtowed and thanked him.
They did not know that the promise Kou Zhun gave them was not made by Zhao Heng.
He never thought that Kou Zhun would dare to ask Zhao Heng to make the decision.
After the two captains thanked him, Kou Zhun ordered a group of imperial guards to follow the two captains back, supervising the battle while preventing them from repeating themselves.
As soon as the two captains left, Zhao Hengqian smiled and said: "I almost said the wrong thing just now, thanks to Kou Aiqing..."
Kou Zhun cupped his hands and said: "It is the duty of an old minister to live on the emperor's salary and worry about the emperor."
Zhao Heng seemed to feel the alienation from Kou Zhun, and realized that his previous words in Chui Gong Hall might have hurt Kou Zhun, so he laughed dryly and said: "Kou Aiqing is not afraid of danger, and personally involved in danger, and said he would surrender the rebels, such a great achievement
, I cannot but reward you. When this matter is over, I will make Aiqing the grand master."
Kou Zhun was previously named the Crown Prince and Tutor. Although he was a first-rank official, he was only from the first rank.
If you are granted the title of Imperial Master and are promoted to the first rank, then you have truly reached the pinnacle of being a civil servant.
Liu E wanted to stop him, but didn't open his mouth.
From Chui Gong Hall to the head of the imperial city, Kou Zhun's power has reached its peak step by step.
Even Zhao Heng was convinced by him, let alone all the officials.
Kou Zhun's promotion to the position of Grand Master was already unstoppable.
Even if Liu E tried to stop him, it would not have any effect.
Instead of saying it on such occasions and being hated and remembered, it would be better not to say anything.
When Kou Zhun heard that Zhao Heng was going to make him a grand master, he was not polite. He bowed his hands and said, "Thank you, official..."
…
Kou Zhun was in danger and persuaded to surrender. The rebels who had attacked the west city head turned against them, catching Zhou Huaizheng and Yang Yi by surprise.
The rebels who defected fought on top of the city while trying to persuade them to surrender.
The matter of Zhou Huaizheng forging edicts and stealing military talismans could no longer be hidden.
After the rebel general heard the news, he immediately rushed to Zhou Huaizheng and asked sternly, "Zhou Huaizheng, you are a eunuch, how dare you lie to me?"
When Zhou Huaizheng's affair was revealed, his heart was filled with anger, his teeth were gritted, and he raised his hand and gave the rebel general a sword blow.
The rebel general only focused on questioning Zhou Huaizheng, but moved to defend him. He was stabbed in the eye by the long sword in Zhou Huaizheng's hand.
When the rebels who were fighting saw this, they froze on the spot.
They thought they were a righteous and loyal party, but suddenly turned into rebels, which they couldn't adapt to for a while.
Zhou Huaizheng pulled out the long sword inserted into the chest of the rebel general and roared with all his strength, "Now that things have happened, do you still have a way out? The only way to survive is to fight in."
If he retreated, he would die, and he would be killed by hundreds of thousands of troops outside the city.
Surrender is also death, how can the government allow a group of rebellious people like you to live in this world?"
"kill!"
Yang Yi picked up the big gun in his hand and started to charge with his henchmen.
The rebels had no generals, so some ran away, others chose to follow Yang Yi and continued to charge towards the top of the city, while others were bundled up and rushed towards the top of the city.
"The time has come..."
Yang Wenguang, who was hiding in the dark, looked ecstatic.
He turned around and said to the uncles from the martial arts family behind him: "The rebel army's morale is in chaos, it's time to fight out."
"Use a hundred people to form a front formation and kill!"
The generals of the Wuxun family who had been hiding in the dark for a long time were finally no longer silent.
More than 20,000 generals wearing iron armor formed one Yafeng formation after another, one hundred-man Yafeng formation after another, and another Yafeng formation of more than 20,000 people.
They suddenly broke out from the left wing and plunged into the rebel camp.
The rebels were quickly split into two pieces.
"Change the formation, Iron Wall Formation!"
More than 20,000 generals wearing iron armor changed their formations according to the situation, from the Yafeng Formation to the Iron Wall Formation.
"Split and strangle!"
The generals raised their swords and attacked the rebels.
The rebels who were attacking the city and those who were preparing to attack the city were instantly divided into two pieces.
The rebels who were preparing to attack the city were forced back outside the moat, were surrounded by the generals, and were quickly strangled.
Seeing this, the rebels who were attacking the city gave up the siege and fought back.
On the top of the city, Cao Wei saw that the rebels had given up attacking the city and turned to deal with the generals. He immediately led the troops and said: "Crossbows, fire with crossbows!"
Without the entanglement of the rebels, the Forbidden Army soldiers on top of the city finally picked up their most familiar weapons and began to attack the rebels outside the city.
The rebels who had just retreated from the city were attacked from both sides.
They could only fight out with the rain of arrows above their heads.
However, they had just killed the moat.
The generals changed their formation again and formed a reverse iron wall formation, charging towards them.
The rebels outside the moat escaped from the encirclement of the generals. They had no intention of fighting anymore and ran away with their tails between their legs.
The moment they learned that they had become rebels, they felt ready to retreat.
It's just that they were trapped and rushed to kill, and they couldn't retreat.
Now being killed by the generals not only broke up their formation, but also the last bit of courage in their hearts.
As a result, one by one fled in embarrassment.
Kou Ji on the top of the city saw this scene and shook his head slightly.
Soldiers and horses commanded by generals and soldiers and horses without generals are completely two different types of soldiers and horses.
Even though they are equipped with the best weapons and armor, and no one is leading them, they are like headless flies, rushing around indiscriminately.
"Kill!"
The rebels under the city wall were wiped out, and reinforcements outside the city also arrived.
Although the reinforcements did not catch up with the fiercest battle, they ran into the fleeing rebels on the way in and beheaded a few people.
Then he led a group of prisoners to the imperial city.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses gathered under the imperial city, and the scene was very spectacular.
The surrendered rebel soldiers were escorted to the city wall and knelt in rows.
Whether to kill or release, it all depends on Zhao Heng's thoughts.
After Zhao Heng saw that the rebels were suppressed and hundreds of thousands of Forbidden Army soldiers gathered under the imperial city, he finally gained a little more courage.
He asked his eunuchs to carry him to the most conspicuous place in the imperial city.
"I'm fine..."
He simply said three words.
Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen eunuchs conveyed his words to every soldier in unison.
All the soldiers saluted Zhao Heng.
Zhao Heng glanced at Kou Zhun.
Kou Zhun nodded and stepped forward slowly, "Zhou Huaizheng corrected the imperial edict, stole the military talisman, and committed rebellion. His crime should be punished. Now that the rebels have been wiped out, the two guards of Dragon God temporarily stayed in the city to guard the palace, and the remaining troops returned to their respective ministries.
After all ministries have compiled your merits, the officials will reward you based on your merits as appropriate."
"Here~"
Hundreds of thousands of Forbidden Army soldiers responded in unison.
Kou Zhun looked at the prisoners kneeling on the ground again, and said in a deep voice: "You have committed rebellion, and you should be punished for your crime. However, if you are deceived by others, you will be exempted from the death penalty, but you will not be able to escape the punishment of living.
From now on, he will be stripped of his military status, travel thousands of miles to be assigned to Yongzhou, and will not be allowed to return to the court for the rest of his life."
The rebel soldiers who were kneeling on the ground kowtowed one by one, thanking Zhao Heng for not killing him.
Kou Zhun didn't even look at them, and said with a stern face: "The evil leader Zhou Huaizheng, where is Yang Yi?"
Under the city head.
Yang Wenguang captured Zhou Huaizheng and Yang Yi and brought them to the top of the city.
"The evil leader is here!"
Kou Zhun saw Yang Yi and Zhou Huaizheng, and said angrily: "How dare you correct the imperial edict, steal military symbols, and commit rebellion. It is a heinous crime. Even if you are cut into pieces with a thousand swords, it is not an exaggeration."
