Chapter 1502: Disheartened
Zhu Lingyue is not a general person after all, Ganhou said this, of course he understood the meaning, and sneered: "Ganhou, if you have anything to say, there is no need to beat around the bush. ”
"There is a carriage outside, and Ben Jiang also has an order signed by Chu Du and Ben Jiang here." Gan Hou said lightly: "You make your own choice, as long as Ben Jiang feels that your excuse is suitable, now you can take a car to Tianshan overnight, with this order, you can also go to Tianshan to take away your people." Leaning back in his chair, he said slowly: "If you don't have an excuse, it proves that you made a choice, then you don't have to blame us for not giving you a chance." ”
After a period of silence, Zhu Lingyue finally asked, "Why did Chu Huan show mercy to my subordinates?" ”
"I don't know." Gan Hou said lightly: "It's just that as far as I know, Chu Du has no selfish grudges with you, and he also appreciates you for being able to take advantage of the situation, maybe he appreciates you a little, or Chu Du is already broad-minded and willing to let ......you go!" "Close your eyes," you can think now. ”
Hou Jingang and the others next door looked at each other at this time, no one made a sound, and they were pondering something.
Both sides were also dead silent, Chu Huan never appeared, and I don't know how long it took, but finally heard Zhu Lingyue's voice say: "If you have to make an excuse, then there is only one possibility." ”
Ganhou did not speak.
"This governor sits in the Tianshan Mountains, but as a literati, some things are involuntary." Zhu Lingyue said slowly: "As you said, the crime of raising troops depends on the ...... generals!" ”
When he said this, his voice paused, and the expressions of Hou Jingang and the others had changed color slightly.
Ganhou still didn't speak.
"Hou Jingang and others hold the power of the army, and when they see the turmoil in the northwest, they become disobedient and ......!" Zhu Lingyue said slowly: "Many generals in the army are bent on fighting and coercing the governor to raise troops, but the governor has no choice but to send troops to Xiguan...... Do you think this is an excuse? ”
The hearts of Hou Jingang and the others sank at this moment.
Gan Hou opened his eyes and said: "Of course, this is a good excuse, throughout the ages, there are not a few generals who coerce the main attack to provoke the end of the war, this excuse may really be able to exonerate you." It's just that have you ever thought that the coercion of military generals is not something that one or two people can do, that requires a group of people, once this group of people really coerce you, it is a great rebellion, you can certainly fall lightly, but their fate will be very miserable, even if you are tolerant, the crime of great rebellion, and the extermination of the three clans, that is already a light fall, Hou Jingang and other generals, even their clansmen, at least hundreds of people, these people need to make sacrifices for your excuse. ”
Zhu Lingyue said lightly: "You just need me to find an excuse, and you didn't let me think about the rest of the matter." ”
"I really didn't ask you to think about the aftermath, I just let you know the outcome of your choice." Gan Hou said slowly: "It is undeniable that you are the best excuse, but it is also the most cruel excuse, the choice you have made is either to sacrifice your former cadres and their people to repay you and your people, or you sacrifice your own life, you can save the lives of their people, where to go, you can give me an answer now." ”
Zhu Lingyue hesitated for a moment before he said, "Tianshan is now in your hands, and if you want to kill or scrape, it is also under your control." After a pause, he said, "I can guarantee that I will leave the northwest with my people, and I will never set foot in the northwest again." ”
"Have you thought it through?" Gan Hou asked again: "Once the decision is made, countless heads will fall to the ground, Hou Jingang and they have all worked hard for you, do you really want to sacrifice them to protect your people?" ”
"Ben Du only asks you, do you count your words?" Zhu Lingyue said coldly.
Gan Hou said with a smile: "It seems that you are worthy of being a hero for a while, since you can sacrifice Huangzhu and them, of course you don't care about Hou Jingang and these people." ”
"They are all subordinates of the Governor, and the Governor believes that they are all willing to make sacrifices for the Governor." Zhu Lingyue stared at Gan Hou's eyes and said: "Actually, this governor also knows Chu Huan's thoughts, he is hypocritical and pretending, pretending to be high-sounding, and he doesn't dare to attack me lightly, but he is worried that this governor will make a comeback, only if Hou Jingang and them are out, and there is no one under this governor, he can sit back and relax, since Chu Huan wants to see such a result, this governor can fulfill him." ”
Gan Hou slowly stood up, stared at Zhu Lingyue coldly, and sighed: "Zhu Lingyue, do you know what Chu Du did before the Battle of the Racecourse?" He made an oath to the soldiers of the three armies that he would fight to the end with the soldiers of the whole army, and anyone who saw him retreat on the battlefield could kill him, and he also fulfilled his promise to fight to the end on the battlefield, on the other hand, you Zhu Lingyue, the victory or defeat of this battle was actually doomed from the beginning. ”
Zhu Lingyue also stood up slowly, put his hands behind his back, and said lightly: "The excuse of this governor has already been told to you, and it is up to you whether you keep your promise or not." ”
"Are you really going to make that choice?" Gan Hou shook his head and sighed: "Hou Jingang, they fought to the end for you on the battlefield, and they were loyal to you, but you easily abandoned them, and even sacrificed the lives of hundreds of people, just to protect your Zhu family, Zhu Lingyue, you are so ruthless, it is really chilling, I will believe that Hou Jingang and they will be disheartened if they know that you have made such a choice." ”
Hou Jingang had already clenched his fists at this time, his eyes were round, Ming Ji was closed, as if he was closing his eyes to recuperate, not shocked, Gu Liangchen's eyes were slightly angry, and the corners of Sun Can's mouth were a sneer.
Ming Ji and Sun Can are both generals of the Tianshan Infantry Group, and they are also from the Praetorian Guard, and they have followed Zhu Lingyue for a long time, while Hou Jingang and Gu Liangchen belong to the cavalry corps, but at this time, the mood of the infantry cavalry generals has finally reached an agreement.
"Bang!"
There was a loud bang on the table, Hou Jingang punched the table, the dishes on the table suddenly shook, the soup splashed all over the table, and a jar of wine fell from the table.
They did their duty on the battlefield and fought until the last moment, and they did not give up before being captured, but Zhu Lingyue didn't even hesitate too much, so he abandoned everyone lightly.
Ming Ji finally opened his eyes at this time, glanced at Hou Jingang, and said lightly: "Why be angry? You've been loyal to him, don't you know who he is? On the battlefield, as a soldier, he naturally fights to the end, and it has nothing to do with who he is loyal to. ”
Zhu Lingyue naturally heard the voice from next door, was taken aback, and soon clearly heard the voice of Ming Ji from next door, Ming Ji is a veteran of the Praetorian Guard, following Zhu Lingyue for many years, Zhu Lingyue is naturally very familiar with his voice, listening to that voice, he feels familiar, and instantly remembered that it was Ming Ji's voice, his face changed color suddenly, he looked at Gan Hou, and said sharply: "Who is next door?" ”
"At least the ones you don't dare to face right now." Gan Hou sat down and sighed, "They can hear every word of you clearly, I just want them to know what kind of despicable people they are loyal to." ”
Zhu Lingyue was shocked and angry, suddenly grabbed the wine jug on the table, and smashed it at Ganhou.
What a character Gan Hou is, his figure flashed, he had already swept away from the chair, the wine jug smashed on the chair, "bang", it was torn apart, he turned around and rushed to the door, kicked it open, and saw several figures outside the door stopping, the sword flashed, but it was several soldiers, the blade was cold, facing Zhu Lingyue.
Gan Hou sneered behind him: "Zhu Lingyue, Chu Du has a comment on you, what he said is not false at all, he is self-inflicted, he can't live, and that's true." He said in a deep voice: "Someone, take Zhu Lingyue down, put him on death row, and wait for Chu Du to fall." ”
Several soldiers pounced on him like wolves, Zhu Lingyue wanted to struggle, but how could he withstand these tall and stout soldiers, he was instantly framed, several soldiers couldn't help but say, dragged him out, Zhu Lingyue shouted loudly: "Ganhou, you despicable villain, you can't die well, Chu Huan, you come out to Bendu, you design to harm me, villain, villain ......!" In the shouting, he was quickly dragged down by several soldiers, and his voice became smaller and quieter.
Hou Jingang and the others sat in their seats in a daze, and no one spoke at this time, or rather, they didn't know what to do or what to say at this time.
It wasn't until a slight sound of footsteps that a few people came to their senses, only to see a figure turn out of the side door, dressed in an ordinary brocade robe, looking like the son and brother of an ordinary gentry family, hearing the footsteps, several people's eyes moved over, and saw that the person who came was young, but twenty-six or seventeen years old, not much handsome, but it was angular, extraordinary, full of man's masculine beauty.
Several people looked at each other, except for Gu Liangchen, the others had not met with Chu Huan, Gu Liangchen was on the battlefield and fought with Chu Huan, but he was knocked off the horse by Chu Huan in three rounds, at that time, Chu Huan was dressed in armor, majestic, and very different from his current appearance, Gu Liangchen looked at it twice, only then did he recognize it, and said in a lost voice: "Chu ...... Chu Huan! ”
When several other people heard this, they knew that the young man in front of them was the governor of Xiguan in the northwest of the famous town, and they were all taken aback, but they saw that Chu Huan had already clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Several generals, I have admired the name for a long time, today the governor just wants to get drunk with a few people, I don't know if there is such an honor?" ”
Hou Jingang looked at Chu Huan for a while, still a little disbelieving, "You...... You are Chu Huan? ”
"It's Chu Huan." Chu Huan said with a smile: "General Hou, on the battlefield, you are majestic, and you are admirable in your courage and the three armies." ”
Hou Jingang looked around, there was no one else, only Chu Huan was here, and couldn't help but say: "Chu Huan, you are really bold, you come alone, unarmed, the four of us can take you down now, are you defenseless?" ”
Chu Huan laughed and said: "On the battlefield, each has its own position, fight to the death, now that the war is over, this governor doesn't believe that General Hou will take advantage of the danger of others, that will ruin your own reputation." ”
Gu Liangchen had already sighed: "General Hou, even if the four of us really do it, it may not be Lord Chu's opponent, and his martial arts will not be a problem to deal with the four of us." ”
"What?" Hou Jingang frowned and said, "Gu Liangchen, why bother to grow up with other people's ambition to destroy your own prestige ......!" Looking at Chu Huan's eyes, he sneered: "I don't believe that he can withstand my punch." ”
"A man shall not be a man, nor shall the sea be measured." Gu Liangchen shook his head, "I don't know if he can take a punch from you, but I dare to guarantee that you can't take a punch from him, I fought him at the horse farm, but in three rounds, he was knocked off the horse, but I don't know how many rounds you can support?" ”
As soon as these words came out, several people present were discolored, even Ming Ji's eyes also showed surprise, Gu Liangchen's immediate kung fu is quite famous in Tianshan, and he is really fighting on the horse, fighting alone, Hou Jingang may not be Gu Liangchen's opponent, but Gu Liangchen said that he was defeated by Chu Huan in three rounds, which is really amazing, and the martial artists are all competitive, if there is no such thing, Gu Liangchen will never make up nonsense to smear himself.
At this time, the eyes of several people looking at Chu Huan became complicated.
