Prince Ning's eyes naturally fell on this person. When he saw this person, Prince Ning couldn't help but smile a little and said: "Oh, it's Wenbang. If Wenbang can go there in person,
, I think I will be able to convince Zhang Wenjin."
The person who was called Wenbang by King Ning, his name was Duzhong, and his courtesy name was Wenbang. He was a member of the imperial family who had joined King Ning not long ago.
Du Zhong was proud of his outstanding ability, but unfortunately he failed to get into high school after taking the exam several times. He had only the honor of being a good candidate, but had no further opportunities. This made Du Zhong very unhappy.
It happened that King Ning rebelled. When Eucommia heard the news about King Ning's rebellion, she rushed to King Ning almost immediately. It was obvious that she regarded King Ning as her hope.
People like Eucommia ulmoides are actually too common in this era. After all, there are always ambitious people who want to give it a try.
In the past, there was no chance, but King Ning's rebellion gave many ambitious people opportunities. This is one of the reasons why many people immediately joined King Ning after his rebellion.
Many of the people who took refuge in King Ning were failed scholars and scholars. The influx of these people into King Ning's command made King Ning believe that he had destiny. Otherwise, why would he immediately raise the flag of righteousness?
There are so many talents under his command.
Eucommia obviously wanted to give it a try under King Ning, so when King Ning asked if anyone was willing to go to Anqing City on his behalf to persuade the people in the city to surrender, Eucommia stood without hesitation.
come out.
From Du Zhong's point of view, now that they have a hundred thousand troops, with a hundred thousand troops in hand, wouldn't it be easy to capture the mere city of Anqing?
Under such circumstances, anyone with some knowledge in Anqing City would definitely be able to realize this. Even from Du Zhong's point of view, Zhang Wenjin and others in Anqing City could not possibly be thinking about how to surrender at this moment.
Although it is said that entering the city requires taking certain risks, wealth and honor can be obtained through risk. If you want to gain the respect of King Ning in front of King Ning, you must have meritorious achievements.
Otherwise, how can I make Prince Ning take notice of me?
Eucommia ulmoides bowed to Prince Ning and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely capture Anqing City for Your Majesty when I go."
After hearing this, King Ning smiled happily and said, "Okay, King Ning will just wait for the good news from Wen Bang!"
Eucommia ulmoides turned around and headed towards Anqing City. When King Ning saw this, he immediately said to the guard beside him: "Prepare horses for Mr. Wenbang immediately!"
In the blink of an eye, a guard was seen walking over with a horse. Prince Ning personally led the horse and said to Du Zhong: "Mr. Wenbang, if you ride a horse, you won't lose our prestige."
Eucommia ulmoides bowed to Prince Ning with a look of tears of gratitude and said, "I will live up to the prince!"
At the foot of Anqing City, Eucommia ulmoides looked at Zhang Wenjin on the city wall, and Yang Rui and others said loudly: "I am Eucommia, my prince has something to say to the prefect, and I would like to ask the prefect to allow me to enter the city to talk."
On the high city wall, Zhang Wenjin, Yang Rui and others could clearly hear the shouts of Eucommia ulmoides below the city wall.
Suddenly, on the city wall, many soldiers looked towards Yang Rui and Zhang Wenjin.
Du Zhong shouted to come to see Zhang Wenjin on behalf of King Ning. Any fool knew the purpose of Du Zhong's visit, which must be to persuade Zhang Wenjin to surrender to King Ning like the other officials.
Not long ago, Zhang Wenjin, Yang Rui and the others were shouting slogans to defend Anqing City to the death, so when they saw Eucommia ulmoides coming to persuade them to surrender, many soldiers began to doubt Zhang Wenjin, Yang Rui and the others' stance.
After all, if Zhang Wenjin and the others surrender, they will not have to face the threat of the more than 100,000 troops below, and they will not have to risk their lives.
Therefore, many people look at Zhang Wenjin with a hint of hope. Obviously in the minds of many soldiers, it is better to fight hard or not. After all, once a war breaks out, no one can guarantee that they can
Can't survive.
As for Prince Ning's rebellion, to be honest, who in the world is responsible for this and what does it have to do with them? They are just big-headed soldiers.
On the city wall, four
Naturally, the changes in the morale of Zhou's soldiers could not be hidden from Zhang Wenjin. Yang Rui and the others saw Yang Rui's expression change slightly and his eyes turned towards Zhang Wenjin.
Under Yang Rui's gaze, Zhang Wenjin looked calm and said without any nervousness: "Commander Yang, is it possible that he doubts me?"
Yang Rui looked at Zhang Wenjin, slowly shook his head and said, "Of course I won't doubt Master Zhang's loyalty to the court. Just because I believe in you, doesn't mean that the soldiers in the city do."
Zhang Wenjin naturally knew what Yang Rui meant.
Zhang Wenjin is the most prominent person in Anqing City, so his words and deeds almost represent the attitude of everyone in Anqing City. Therefore, when King Ning's envoy appeared at the city gate and proposed to enter the city to talk to Zhang Wenjin, it was natural.
This caused the hearts of everyone in Anqing City to fluctuate. Zhang Wenjin stroked his beard and looked at Eucommia ulmoides below the city, and seemed to be responding to Yang Rui and said: "I will naturally calm the hearts of the soldiers and people in the city."
Not to mention the exchange between Zhang Wenjin and Yang Rui on the city wall, but below the city wall, riding on the tall horse, Eucommia ulmoides was shouting to the top of the city from a distance, feeling the eyes falling on him one after another.
The feeling of being in the spotlight made Eucommia ulmoides feel elated for a moment.
Eucommia never thought that one day he would have such a highlight moment. Feeling the eyes above the city falling on him, Eucommia became more and more determined in his thoughts. He would serve under King Ning no matter what.
He made great achievements in order to obtain a high position. The feeling of being high and being noticed by everyone made him addicted and nostalgic.
Eucommia was sure that Zhang Wenjin would definitely meet him this time. Once he entered the city, he could use his sharp tongue to persuade Zhang Wenjin and others to surrender and make great contributions to King Ning.
Thinking of this, the smile on Eucommia ulmoides' face became more and more intense, so much so that one could tell by looking at his expression that he must be thinking of something good.
After all, Eucommia ulmoides is also a person who can promote people from high school. Although he is a little less knowledgeable than those who have won Jinshi in high school, his knowledge is far beyond that of ordinary people.
Du Zhong was not worried that he could not surrender Zhang Wenjin, because in Du Zhong's view, with a hundred thousand troops approaching the city, Anqing City would not be able to defend Anqing City with its strength. As long as Zhang Wenjin did not want to seek death, then as long as he gave him a step,
Zhang Wenjin will definitely choose to surrender honestly.
With various thoughts flashing through his mind, Eucommia ulmoides took some time to look at Zhang Wenjin on top of the city, his eyes full of expectation.
"Master Zhang, please allow Du to enter the city for a brief explanation."
Just when Eucommia thought Zhang Wenjin would soon let someone put down the hanging basket and let him enter the city, he suddenly heard Zhang Wenjin's voice from above the city wall: "You are a bold traitor, what qualifications do you have to enter the city? You are betraying the king."
Father, you are a traitor and seek rebellion in vain. Do you think the sages and sages you have read are teaching you to be unfaithful and unfilial?"
Zhang Wenjin's voice sounded like thunder on the city wall and reached Du Zhong's ears. Du Zhong was stunned, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Obviously Eucommia ulmoides never expected that Zhang Wenjin not only did not invite him to the city, but instead scolded him for being unfaithful and unfilial in front of so many people.
For a moment, Du Zhong's face was filled with shame and anger. He immediately pointed at Zhang Wenjin on the city wall and said angrily: "The king is ignorant of martial arts and favors women and sycophants. The world has been suffering for a long time. My prince is holding high the flag of righteousness and changing his tune.
Zhang Wenjin, if you have the ambition to recreate the Ming Dynasty, if you know the destiny, you should quickly open the city and surrender. If not, once the army breaks the city, I will teach you to die without burial in Ning, not far away.
Wang originally listened to Zhang Wenjin scolding them as disloyal and unfilial rebels, and couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart. However, when he heard Eucommia ulmoides complimenting him, King Ning couldn't help but smile a little on his face, and he also stroked his hand.
While wearing a beard, he said to the people around him: "Mr. Wenbang really did not disappoint me!"
Naturally, everyone would not spoil Prince Ning's mood at this time. They all flattered Prince Ning one after another, making Prince Ning think that he was the one who was destined to rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty, and that the throne belonged to him.
"call out"
Only a sound was heard, and Zhang Wenjin was seen on the city wall. He didn't know when he was holding a bow and arrow, and an arrow was drawn.
The arrow shot through the air and headed straight for Eucommia ulmoides below the city.
"Those who are unfaithful and unfilial should be killed!"
Following Zhang Wenjin's angry rebuke, arrows shot through the air, but Eucommia ulmoides on horseback never thought that Zhang Wenjin would kill him.
It is said that the two armies will not kill the envoys when they are fighting. The reason why Eucommia took over the job of coming to persuade Zhang Wenjin to surrender in front of King Ning was based on this point.
There may be a little risk, but the risk is almost non-existent. However, the credit that can be gained is too great. If Eucommia ulmoides hadn't reacted quickly enough, such errands might not have fallen to Eucommia ulmoides. It's a pity that Eucommia ulmoides was wrong.
Zhang Wenjin, Zhang Wenjin came up to kill him.
Looking at the arrow that shot through the air, Eucommia ulmoides lay down on the horse almost as a conditioned reflex. The arrow almost brushed his forehead and flew past. It only frightened Eucommia to scream and fall off the horse. At the same time, he screamed in his mouth.
He rolled and crawled trying to escape.
However, at this moment, Zhang Wenjin said coldly: "Shoot this rebel to death!"
All the soldiers on the city wall were also stunned by this scene. Not only Du Zhong did not expect that Zhang Wenjin would suddenly kill him, but also all the soldiers on the city wall were also a little confused.
However, when Zhang Wenjin gave the order, these soldiers subconsciously shot their bows and arrows at the Eucommia ulmoides below the city.
Suddenly, a hail of arrows fell like rain. Eucommia ulmoides, which had only escaped a few steps away, was drowned in the rain of arrows in an instant. The whole person only had time to let out a shrill scream before it fell silent.
If you look at it again at this time, you will find that Eucommia ulmoides has fallen in a hail of arrows, and its whole body is covered with arrows. At a glance, there are dozens of arrows, and it looks like a hedgehog.
A group of people who were surrounding Prince Ning not far away were also a little confused by this scene.
Many of these people were extremely envious of Eucommia ulmoides. You must know that they were one step behind in reaction, and as a result, Eucommia ulmoides took the lead. While they were in the limelight in front of Prince Ning, they also left a deep impression on Prince Ning's heart.
impression.
Even if Eucommia ulmoides cannot persuade Zhang Wenjin to surrender this time, he will definitely be valued by King Ning.
The moment before, many people looked at Eucommia ulmoides with eyes full of envy and jealousy, wishing they could take his place in his place.
It's just that the change was so sudden that many people were overwhelmed by the arrows before they could react. After a few breaths, when they saw the Eucommia lying in a pool of blood clearly, they couldn't help but wonder.
Seeing this scene, a few people felt chills all over their bodies and shrank their necks subconsciously. Many people were secretly grateful.
Fortunately, they were a step slower. Otherwise, the fate of Eucommia ulmoides would have been their example.
So much so that when many people looked at Zhang Wenjin, Yang Rui and others on the city wall, their eyes showed a bit of fear and fear. Zhang Wenjin was really not simple. Facing their hundreds of thousands of troops approaching the city, he didn't show any signs of fear.
He was so fearless that he even shot King Ning's envoy in front of so many people. Such a person is definitely not to be messed with.
"Okay, what a Zhang Wenjin, the lonely king will definitely cut him into pieces!" At this time, King Ning had obviously come to his senses, and when he came back to his senses, he saw Eucommia ulmoides, who went to the city on his behalf to persuade Zhang Wenjin to surrender, being shot.
Like a hedgehog, Prince Ning's heart was filled with rage. You must know that Eucommia ulmoides represented Prince Ning. Zhang Wenjin dared to kill Eucommia ulmoides, so he didn't take Prince Ning seriously at all.
From the time the army was raised to the present, it can be said that it has always been smooth sailing. It can be said that wherever the wind passes, no official has ever dared to be disrespectful to him. At this moment, Zhang Wenjin hit him in the head. King Ning looked at Zhang Wenjin on the top of Anqing City.
The eyes of the others were filled with endless murderous intent.
At this time, Wang Lun, Yang Qing and other generals, who were all dressed in armor, had excited expressions on their faces.
Wang Lun bowed to Prince Ning and said, "Your Majesty, I will lead an army to attack Anqing City and capture Zhang Wenjin and other officials alive for Your Majesty."
The angry King Ning listened to Wang Lun's words and said to Wang Lun: "Okay, King Gu believes that General Wang will not let him down. I will leave the siege to you, General Wang. King Gu will wait patiently."
Good news!"
After receiving the order from King Ning, Wang Lun was in high spirits.
With a wind-haired look, he strode towards the army.
They had not experienced any major battles along the way, so much so that Wang Lun and the others had not even experienced a single battle. This made Wang Lun and others who were looking forward to making military exploits not to mention how much they were looking forward to a battle.
Now that Zhang Wenjin chose to shoot Eucommia ulmoides, this was great news to Wang Lun and other rebel generals.
Isn’t this an opportunity to give them a performance that comes right to their doorstep!
