Three hundred and four trees fell and scattered
"Get on your knees!"
Gao Zhong tied up Zhenrong, carried it out of Guangling City like an eagle catching a chicken, came straight to the Son of Heaven, and threw it off the horse.
"Your Majesty's life, the criminal minister is confused, and he made a rebellious act only after mishearing slander, how dare he compete with His Majesty!"
I thought that I would be able to fight for three or five days, so that Liu Wei could keep his position as the Taishou of Guangling after suffering hardship, but he didn't expect that the city would be breached in less than a meal, and Zhen Rongfang knew that he was simply a frog at the bottom of the well.
If it was someone else, Liu Wei might spare his life, but only Zhenrong couldn't!
If you want to ask who is the first despicable and shameless villain in the Three Kingdoms, it has to be this Rongrong. Compared to the crimes committed by Zhen Rong, Lu Bu's three family slaves are simply not worth mentioning!
In the history books, Zhen Rong first won the trust of Tao Qian with his eight-sided exquisite style of life, first became the minister of the country, and then moved to Guangling Taishou.
After getting rid of Tao Qian's shackles, he began to recruit troops, expand his strength, and promote Buddhism under his rule. Not only did he not pay a grain of tax to Tao Qian, but he also openly contradicted Tao Qian's order.
If it is according to the normal historical development, Cao Cao's army is pressing, Tao Qian is sick and dead, and Zhen Rong led his troops to flee south. Zhao Yu of the Huailing clan greeted him with a VIP gift and gave a grand reception to Zhenrong and his party.
Who knew that Zhen Rong was not only grateful, but also took revenge, drunk Zhao Yu and his party who entertained him at the banquet, killed him and his subordinates, and plundered the arsonists in Huailing, killing many innocent people. After the plundering of Zhenrong, the soldiers crossed the Yangtze River and entered the territory of Yangzhou, where they took refuge in their old friend Xue Li.
Xue Li once served under Tao Qian, and he was an old friend of Zhenrong, so he set up a banquet to entertain Zhenrong. Unexpectedly, Zhen Rong repeated his old tricks, and once again took advantage of the wine feast to kill Xue Li, annexed his subordinates, entrenched in Moling, and surrendered to Liu Xuan, the assassin of Yangzhou.
At that time, Liu Miao was short of major generals, welcomed the surrender of Zhenrong, and appointed Zhenrong as the commander of Moling County. After a period of time, he ordered Zhu Rong and Zhu Hao, the Taishou of Yuzhang appointed by himself, to go to Chaisang. Who knew that halfway through the walk, this Zhenrong cut off Zhu Hao's head again and occupied Yuzhang by himself.
At this point, Liu Miao saw clearly the capricious villain character of Zhenrong, and personally led the troops to recruit and suppress Zhenrong. Zhenrong, who was killed in the territory of Yuzhang, was defeated and fled into the mountains, and was finally killed by Shanyue and the people, ending his life of black.
If there is any merit of this Zhenrong, it is that he vigorously promoted the development of Buddhism, and the Futu Temple and the Nine Mirror Pagoda built by him have an important position in the history of Buddhism. It's just that this ostensibly Buddhist believer is ruthless and ungrateful, which is completely contrary to the spirit advocated by Buddhism.
"Drag me down and cut it down!"
Liu Wei completely ignored Zhen Rong's plea for mercy, and ordered to be beheaded to show the public, "Dig out this guy's heart and see if he is a black-hearted person!" ”
didn't have a lot of effort, Di Rong was hung at the gate of Guangling, and a heart was also ripped out, and I don't know if it was the executioner who did the tricks, or if Di Rong was born like this, anyway, Liu Wei saw a black heart.
The soldiers are fast, and time does not allow Liu Wei to delay in Guangling. He then ordered Li Jing to take over Zhenrong's army, leaving Zhang Juzheng as the Taishou of Guangling, and leaving him 5,000 men and horses to clean up the mess, and then personally led the brigade to continue the march in the direction of Xiapi.
Liu Wei's army continued to march north, and it was only fifty or sixty miles away from Xiapi, and the people in the city were panicked and the army was discouraged.
Mi Zhu secretly met with Chen Qun and Zang Ba, and advised: "Chen Changwen, Zang Xuangao, Tao Gong Zuyang disobeyed Yin, and it was not a wise move to surrender to the Son of Jinling on the surface, but secretly colluding with Luoyang!" If the son leads an army of 100,000 to overwhelm the border today, what are the two of them going to do? ”
Zang Ba and Chen Qun both had sad faces: "We are waiting for the fence to be sent to the fence, and we are supported by Tao Envoy, and we can't bear to turn our backs, let alone go against the Son of Heaven!" Now the saint swept the whole Xuzhou with the wind sweeping the leaves, and the danger was like a tired egg, I was terrified, and I really didn't know what to do! ”
Chen Qun groaned: "My Chen clan is also well-known in my hometown of Xuchang, and since Cao Gong became the master, the local governance has been in good order, and the people's will has been obedient. In the spring of this year, Cao Gong once repaired a book with me and persuaded me to return to my hometown to serve him, but I couldn't bear to abandon Tao Zhijun and go, so I politely refused. Since the soldiers are coming to the city today, we are desperate, and we plan to return to our hometown to join Cao Gong! ”
"Since you have such a place to run, why don't you leave quickly? If you go out of the city with you, it's too late! Hearing that Chen Qun had a way out, Zang Ba was overjoyed.
Although there are still 40,000 garrisons in Xiapi City, after Tao Qian's death, the people in the city are panicked, and all the staff members are planning to disperse. I also heard that the 100,000-strong army of Jinling broke through Guangling without a single meal and killed Zhenrong. All Tao Qian's staff knew that Xiapi could no longer hold it, so they either surrendered or fled for their lives, and there was only one way to die.
Zang Ba and Chen Qun knew that Mi Zhu's family business was in Xuzhou, and besides, his relationship with the Son of Heaven was already extraordinary, and he would not flee for his life if he wanted to, so he did not persuade much. Now, they can only fly separately when disaster comes!
Mi Zhu stroked his beard and smiled: "Oops...... I said Chen Changwen and Zang Xuangao, you are really confused, with the Son of Heaven in front of you and the opportunity to make great contributions, how can you go to the princes at the expense of the near and far? ”
"We are really worried that the Son of Heaven will turn over old accounts, and the head is more important than the future!" Zang Ba said uneasily.
Mi Zhu patted Zang Ba and Chen Qun on the shoulders and said, "Don't worry, don't you worry, didn't the edict of the Son of Heaven be sent to us in Xiapi, let Chen Qi serve as the assassin, and let me serve as the governor?" I think the two of them will be reused, too! ”
"I'm afraid it's a delaying tactic used by the Son of Heaven, first stabilize our heart, and after entering the city, we will hide all the bows, and then it will be too late to regret it!" Chen Qun also expressed his worries, and he trusted Cao Cao, who had been exchanging letters for a long time, more than the Son of Heaven, who had never had anything to do with him.
Mi Zhu patted his chest and promised: "Since the two of you have concerns, Zhu will talk about it here." A certain has been with the Son of Heaven for a long time, and His Majesty has promised to enter the palace as a concubine at the end of the year, I Mi Zhu can completely guarantee that the two high-ranking officials will only be more beautiful than when they followed Tao Gongzu, and there is no reason to settle accounts after the autumn! ”
Zang Ba was overjoyed when he heard this: "What Mi Zizhong said is true? ”
"We are colleagues, and we have a very personal relationship, how can Zhu lie to the two of you! We will return to the Son of Heaven together, and in the future, we will take care of each other in the court. Mi Zhu looks like a deep friendship.
Chen Qun and Zang Ba glanced at each other, pondered for a moment, and finally agreed to Mi Zhu's retention: "Since Brother Mi is so confident, the two of us will stay and resign ourselves to fate!" ”
Mi Zhu said again: "I have persuaded Cao Bao to return to the Son of Heaven last night, plus General Xuangao, the two of you have 20,000 soldiers and horses in your hands, and the remaining 20,000 people are in the hands of Chen Deng." What if he refuses to submit? ”
Zang Ba's face showed murderous intent: "If this is the case, we will kill Chen Qi and his son, and open the door to welcome the Son of Heaven, which can be regarded as a great achievement!" ”
The three of them stopped their discussions, and sent someone to inform Cao Bao, and sent a family member and a doorman to pay close attention to the movements of Chen Qi's father and son.
Chen's house.
Chen Jue's father and son conspired in the study like ants on a hot pot.
"Surrender, now that it's over, there's no way back!" Chen Qi sighed, "I didn't expect Tao Qian to be assassinated, I knew that this was the case, I shouldn't have stepped on two boats!" ”
"Tao Qian's death, I'm afraid it has nothing to do with the Son of Heaven!" Chen Deng was worried.
Chen Jue nodded: "Nine times out of ten, but this matter is well known, and you must not mention half a word in front of outsiders, so as not to cause trouble!" ”
"If we surrender, how will the Son of Heaven treat our Chen family?" Chen Deng asked his father.
Chen Qi stroked his beard and pondered: "According to the relationship, the Son of Heaven should be closer to Mi Zhu, but he gave up the position of assassinating history for his father in the edict. It shows that he still doesn't want to tear the skin with the family of Xiapi, we don't have a deep hatred with the Son of Heaven, and the previous plan for Tao Qian is just their own master, and it is expected that the Son of Heaven will not be too embarrassed by my Chen family! ”
Chen Deng nodded in agreement with what his father said: "Since we want to open the door, it is better to open it sooner rather than later, let's go out of the city and surrender before Mizhu opens the door!" ”
"What Wu'er said is very true, open the door and surrender!" Chen Qi nodded in agreement.
The father and son discussed and stopped, and Chen Qi and Chen Deng ordered the city gate to be opened, and went out of the city to meet the army of the Son of Heaven before Mi Zhu and his party.
When Mi Zhu, Zang Ba, and Chen Qun heard this, they couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
Zang Ba's face was full of contempt, and he regretted: "This Chen father and son are faster than the grass on the wall, I didn't expect to be rushed out by him to surrender, we can't lag behind!" ”
At that moment, Mi Zhu, Zang Ba, and Chen Qun also led the team, and called Cao Bao to go out of the city gate together to meet the army of the Son of Heaven in the south.
Liu Wei led the army all the way to the north, waving the flag, and when he was still thirty miles away from Xiapi City, he met the team that came to greet him.
Chen Qi, Chen Deng's father and son were in front, Mi Zhu, Chen Qun, Zang Ba and others did not dare to lag behind, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and Kudu Mountain shouted Long live: "Your Majesty's army is coming from afar, and the criminals are late, I hope Your Majesty will forgive your sins!" ”
At a glance, you will know that more than half of Xuzhou's civil and military staff have come, and the plan to secretly stab Tao Qian to land in Xuzhou has ended perfectly, and finally completed the bloodless capture of Xuzhou, which is really an exciting thing!
"Don't be polite, courtiers, after Tao Gongzu was assassinated, you can ensure that the situation in Xuzhou is not chaotic, and you are all indispensable! I raised troops into Xuzhou this time, firstly, in order to prevent the entry of Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, and secondly, I was worried that Cao Cao would make an impulsive move because he wanted to avenge his father. ”
Liu Wei turned over and dismounted, helped all the Xuzhou staff up one by one, comforted them with a pleasant face, and gave them a reassuring pill in order to reassure everyone. R1152
