But when he was dragged to the square after the parade and was about to be cut into pieces, he finally got scared. When the knife fell on his body, he howled again and again. It was like that of misery.
But it was such a miserable sound that sounded so sweet to the ears of the people in Jicheng who were watching. They had been oppressed by foreigners for too many years, and countless people died when they were clearing grass and grain. Now the King of the Huns has been captured. He was killed and the Huns were destroyed. From now on, there was no longer this threat, and everyone felt so happy.
Hu Yantong finally died, and he died before he had been stabbed a thousand times. This was not because the executioner was unprofessional. According to the doctor who checked later, he said he was frightened to death.
Haha, Hu Yantong was still young after all, and his courage was limited. And with his death, the Huns were completely erased from the stage of history.
...
Secret City.
This city, known as Xiaopingcheng, received an unexpected guest today. Meng Ziqing, the important foreign minister of the Great Qian Dynasty, appeared here in the residence of Huo Yang, the general's palace in the city.
To convince Huo Yang to be used by Dahua, this is the purpose of Meng Ziqing's coming. This is also the first step for Tang Ao to take action against Daqian. If he can win the secret city without any bloodshed, it will be a big threat to Dahua's army when it comes. There will be great benefits under Daliang City.
Accompanying Meng Ziqing was Xiao Ke, the former captain of the Silver Armored Guards who had worked with Huo Yang Yixiang.
With this acquaintance here, there will be no lulls in the conversation. No matter what happens, with this person here, even if persuasion fails, you can leave safely.
The sudden appearance of Meng Ziqing really shocked Huo Yang.
He already knew that Emperor Tang Ao of Great China was besieged and killed by Daqian's cavalry at Huyakou. Because of this, a military order was sent from the court, asking him to strengthen his defenses to prevent the Great China Army from doing something to them.
For this matter, Huo Yang didn't know how many times he cursed her. Dahua is so powerful, and it's good if people don't come to trouble him. Why do you still want to surround and kill him? This is not the old birthday star hanging himself - he is disgusted Will you live longer?
But despite the scolding, Huo Yang still strengthened the city defense. In fact, he also wanted to train troops together, but unfortunately, his memorial asking for money was thrown back. If there is no money, how can the soldiers train on an empty stomach? ?
Huo Yang simply ignored it and did nothing except strengthening the city defense. He believed that once the Chinese army really came to the city, the ones who would regret it would be the gentlemen in the court and the military commander Emperor Qian De who didn’t understand anything at all.
But what Huo Yang didn't expect was that the first person to be greeted was not the Dahua Cavalry, but two lobbyists.
Yes! It's a lobbyist, that's what Huo Yang thinks. In fact, the other party is indeed here to persuade him to change his ways. Once he can solve the problem of Mi City with all his strength, he will have endless possibilities for conquering Daliang City. The advantage is that you can reach the enemy's base and catch the enemy by surprise in the blink of an eye.
Huo Yang knew in his heart that the Great Chinese Army was not to be trifled with, and he also knew that once the Great Chinese Army made serious moves, the 30,000 cavalrymen under his command would not be able to stop it no matter what, but he never thought of surrendering. As a general, dying in battle is your destiny. But what's the point of surrendering without even fighting a battle?
In the living room of the mansion, Huo Yang had a stern face and had already made up his mind to refuse no matter what the other party would say. Even if he could not be a victorious general, he could still be a loyal general, right?
, which is worthy of his decades of military career.
It's just that Huo Yangwan never expected that all his thoughts would be changed because the other party threw a few pages of rice paper and the defense line was completely lost.
What was written on the rice paper was the story of Huo Yang's youngest concubine being occupied by Kong Fu.
Before Huo Yang came to Mi City, he fell in love with a girl in Daliang City. She looked like a water spirit. She couldn't forget it, so he gave a betrothal gift, asked a matchmaker to find a match, made a marriage arrangement, and married her.
at home.
Even a few days before coming to Micheng to take office, the two were still tired of being together. Later, when they needed to leave their family members in Kyoto, Huo Yang had to reluctantly separate. When he was originally thinking about when to return to Kyoto to report on his duties,
A long separation is better than a newlywed. Unexpectedly, I was put on a hat, and it was still the kind of grassland.
The last signature in the document is the name of the housekeeper. This is a person Huo Yang trusts very much. He has already regarded him as a family member. Because of this, he will not suspect that there is a fake. In fact, this housekeeper is now also
Being monitored by Kong Fu's men, he was unable to leave Kyoto.
The housekeeper did not dare to write a letter to Huo Yang. Even if he wrote it, someone would open it and read it on the way to send it. In this way, the matter has been concealed. Unexpectedly, spies from the Dragon Ya in Kyoto found out.
Everything, and the housekeeper who was found secretly, also revealed his identity, and only then did these few pages of rice paper exist.
According to what the housekeeper said above, the reason why Kong Fu dared to be so bold was because he believed that his master would not come back from Secret City alive. He was a dying man, so why should he be afraid?
"Bastard, bastard, this Kong Fu, I swear that I am not at odds with you." Huo Yang, whose expression changed drastically, shouted angrily, as if he wanted to eat someone.
Seeing his appearance, Meng Ziqing and Xiao Ke, who was accompanying him, looked at each other and knew that something big had happened.
Huo Yang is over fifty years old, but his long military career still makes him have a bad temper. After learning that his woman was occupied by someone else, he felt that he had lost his face and how could he obey? With this anger, he
, Meng Ziqing's invitation came naturally.
Or maybe Huo Yang has long wanted to join Dahua, but he just lacks a suitable step. Now that the opportunity has arisen, of course he will take advantage of it.
No matter what the reason is, Huo Yang accepted Meng Ziqing's proposal and expressed his willingness to submit to Dahua. If possible, he would try his best to persuade his 30,000 cavalry and infantry to join Dahua. By then, Mi City would also become Dahua.
The secret city of China.
If possible, this means negotiating conditions. When Meng Ziqing came, he had already received authorization from Tang Ao and had great autonomy in some matters. In the end, after three days of negotiations, the two sides agreed
An agreement was finally reached.
1. Including Mi City, all the 30,000 cavalrymen in the city surrendered to Dahua.
Second, those who surrender will immediately obtain the nationality of Dahua and enjoy the same rights as the people of Dahua.
Third, those who surrender can choose to continue serving in the army, or choose to engage in business or farming, and they will all enjoy certain preferential conditions.
Fourth, the relatives of all the surrendered people in Daliang City must ensure that they will not be in trouble once the Dahua Army takes Daliang, so that they can reunite with their families.
5. If the subordinate generals above the rank of commander are unwilling to join the army, they can receive a one-time compensation to ensure that they can live a good life when they return to their places.
Sixth, Dahua promised that the generals and soldiers who surrendered were all voluntary, and everyone would be their own people from now on. It was necessary to ensure that no one would settle accounts afterwards and embarrass them with their experiences as Daqian sergeants.
There were six agreements in total. In front of the entire city's soldiers, Meng Ziqing signed his name and handed one of them to General Huo Yang in person for him to keep. In this way, everyone got something. With protection, everyone is naturally happy.
The soldiers in the city no longer have to worry about being enemies with Dahua. The Dahua cavalry will appear in front of them at any time. They can finally close their eyes and feel at ease when it is time to sleep.
The change of hands in Mi City cleared the way for Tang Ao to enter Jizhou and go to the Central Plains.
Of course, before the main force of the Chinese army arrives, everything is still business as usual here. Just to prevent the news from leaking, all people leaving the city and letters leaving the city will be strictly checked. When it comes to the safety of themselves and their families, the soldiers guarding the city are particularly cautious. Be very serious to ensure that no news will spread to Daliang City.
...
Jicheng.
Tang Ao is also ready to set off. Things in Secret City cannot be kept secret for too long. If we delay it any longer, I am afraid there will be complications.
This time Tang Ao returned to Jicheng and stayed for more than two months. It seemed that he could have a good rest when he returned home, but in fact he never had a moment of leisure. There seemed to be endless things to do every day. If he wants to do it, there are countless people waiting for him to see him.
Tang Ao is leaving, and for his safety, the guards will naturally accompany him. One thing to add here is that the so-called traitor who betrayed Tang Ao's whereabouts has finally been found. He is the one who let him go Dong Gui, whom Tang Ao asked to pay close attention to, was the man who called Zuo Zhuang Zuo Team in front of the north gate of Pucheng that day.
The actions were all code-named. It was a mistake that he shouldn't have made by addressing his official position directly in public. But he still did it, and naturally he became suspicious.
Speaking of which, Dong Gui was well hidden. He lived in harmony with everyone, and he dared to use his life when fighting on the battlefield. He was just like other guards, and his behavior was no different.
But no one knew that in addition to his identity as an enviable and respected guard, that is, the Han general, he also had another identity, that is, he was a spy sent by Emperor Qian Ying to Tang Ao.
It's just that his level is higher and he usually doesn't have any tasks, so he doesn't have to do anything extraordinary, and naturally others won't notice anything unusual about him.
When Emperor Qianying was the loyal king, he still had a lot of power, and his right to speak was second only to Emperor Qianwen at that time. And he had long wanted to seize the throne, so he made a lot of preparations, that is, he arranged a lot of things. Dead soldiers entered into various forces.
These people usually don't do anything. They will only play their role at critical moments, but often that's when the fatal blow is struck.
