Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In Weisheng City, in the main hall of the Jin Kingdom, civil and military officials were still gathered.  //Visit and download txt novels//Literary Museum.

    They were all waiting for Fang Xuedu to come back. If they had any confidence when Xiangyuan City was destroyed, then after Bian Xiang's 30,000 troops were defeated by Daliang's 10,000 troops, they lost the last trace of confidence.  .

    Bian Xiang's former army was defeated. Daliang's troops did not kill many people, but only a thousand soldiers escaped back to the city.  When Tan Ma came to report, the mountains and plains outside the city were full of defeated soldiers, but very few were willing to return to the city.  The soldiers all knew that victory was at stake, so how could they, the generals, not know.

    Tian Hu didn¡¯t want these officials to disperse because he was afraid that they would plot a rebellion when they went out. He felt more at ease staying in the main hall.

    At noon, Tian Hu generously gave a banquet in the palace for all officials to enjoy the state banquet of the Jin state. I don¡¯t know how many people complained that this was the last state banquet of the Jin state.

    After the state banquet, everyone returned to the main hall.

    It was nominally discussing military matters, but everyone was waiting for news about Fang Xuedu.

    Finally, the guards outside the palace announced that Fang Xuedu had returned, and Tian Hu on the throne immediately said impatiently: "Announce his entry into the palace."

    All civil and military officials also looked at the door of the hall, trying to tell whether the news was good or bad from Fang Xuedu's face.

    Fang Xuedu entered the main hall with a hint of indignation on his face, which made everyone's hearts sink.

    "Greetings to the king."

    Tian Hu was not in the mood to say any more and said directly: "What does Prince Daliang say?"

    Fang Xuedu said angrily: "Prince Daliang didn't take us seriously at all and had no intention of negotiating peace with us."

    Although everyone in the hall could see that the news was not good from Fang Xuedu's face, they still couldn't help but feel a little dark after hearing what Fang Xuedu said.

    The entire hall seemed to be filled with an aura of despair.

    Tian Hu frowned and said, "He didn't say any conditions?"

    Fang Xuedu said: "He said it, but we absolutely cannot agree to his conditions. He said that the king and the two kings harmed one party and would be killed without mercy. The rest only need to surrender before Daliang breaks the city, and the talented ones will continue to be employed. This is a heinous crime.  The death penalty can be avoided, but the punishment of life cannot be escaped. All the soldiers and horses in Hedong were disarmed and returned to the field."

    After Fang Xuedu finished speaking, you could feel that many civil and military officials behind him breathed a sigh of relief, and the oppressive atmosphere in the hall also eased a bit.

    Tian Hu, who was sitting on the throne, gritted his teeth and said, "Chao Yong, a yellow-mouthed kid, is going too far to bully others."

    He originally thought that Daliang would leave him a small town to accommodate them, or even if things went wrong, they would give him a title and let him live in secret for the rest of his life, just like Zhao Ji in the Song Dynasty.  It wasn't like he couldn't consider it, but he didn't expect that Chao Yong didn't leave him any way to survive.

    "Don't say that he still has many soldiers and horses in his hands, but he has become a loner.  He won't hold back either.

    The second king Tian Bao also jumped out and said: "I said before that I couldn't negotiate peace with them, but Fang Xuedu encouraged my brother to humiliate himself."

    As he said that, he looked at Fang Xuedu with a fierce look and said: "Your Majesty, the top priority is to let the soldiers in the city concentrate on resisting the enemy. We still have 70,000 soldiers and horses in the city, with Wuxiang County to the east, Mianshang and Qinyuan County to the west.  There are also 60,000 soldiers and horses. If they are all mobilized, Chao Yong's son can be surrounded and killed under the city. Fang Xuedu tried his best to persuade the king to make peace. My brother, please kill this guy.  The beheading will also put an end to the desire of the officers and men in the city to seek peace."

    Tian Hu raised many soldiers and horses in Weisheng. Previously, he was afraid that Daliang would seize other counties in Weisheng, so he did not gather all the soldiers and horses.

    Hearing this, Fang Xuedu hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty Mingjian. I just want to protect our Jin State, Guo Zuo, and I have never thought of surrendering to the Liang State. If the soldiers of the Liang State come to attack the city, I am willing to lead the troops."  Guards on the city will kill me if I step back.¡±

    Tian Hu glanced at Fang Xuedu and then at everyone in the hall.  After pondering for a while, he said: "You have heard just now that Chao Yong's yellow-tongued kid not only refuses to spare our brothers. He also doesn't spare the heinous people. I am injured and covered in blood, and your hands are not clean, right?  . When you attack him, you put your neck under his butcher's knife."

    ¡°Many people in the main hall are from the mountains and plains, and there are many who kill innocent people indiscriminately. Hearing Tian Hu say this, a fierce look flashed in his eyes.  They are all desperadoes, and naturally they are not willing to tie their hands and let others slaughter them.

    However, most people are unmoved. In their view, although they have made many mistakes, they are not heinous.  Moreover, Prince Daliang has promised to avoid the death penalty. The most he can do is to assassinate his wife, which is better than losing his life in the Weisheng Army.

    Tian Hu was very satisfied when he saw the familiar light flashing in the eyes of many people, and said with a smile: "I will transfer Wu Xiang, Mianshang, QinWhen all the troops and horses come, Wuxiang troops and horses can arrive in one day, while Mianshang and Qinyuan can only arrive in two days.  As long as we hold on for two days, we can attack from inside and outside and defeat Liang's troops.  When we catch Chao Yong, we will talk to Chao Gai.  "

    Fang Xuedu, who was kneeling on the ground, immediately echoed: "Your Majesty uses his troops like a god. Did he negotiate for peace earlier to show his weakness to the enemy and paralyze Chao Yong?"

    Tian Hu naturally didn¡¯t want to admit that he was timid before. He walked down the steps to see the room and learned the lesson, and then nodded and said: ¡°That¡¯s right, thank you for your hard work, Lieutenant. The reward is a hundred taels, so get up.¡±

    Fang Xuedu kowtowed hurriedly and said, "Thank you so much, Your Majesty, for the reward."

    Tian Hu said to everyone again: "We have to hold on to the Wei Sheng Army for two days. Do you have any suggestions?"

    Fang Xuedu had just escaped with his life, so he didn't dare to say anything more. He retreated to his position, observing the people in the hall, and thinking about who to win over.

    Tian Biao said: "Since the king has decided to stand firm and wait for reinforcements, we will divide our troops into two groups and guard them day and night to prevent a sneak attack by Liang's troops."

    Shangshu Li Tianxi said: "At least three groups should leave a team of soldiers and horses as a reserve army in case of emergencies."

    The Tian Hu brothers were both former bandits and were very brave, but did not know the art of war. Shangshu Li Tianxi was born in the army and had read some military books.

    Tian Hu listened and nodded: "What Shangshu said is right. There are 70,000 people in the city, so we should divide them into three groups. Each group of 20,000 people and 5,000 people at each gate can defend Liang Guo's troops."

    The people in the main hall wanted to tell Tian Hu that for every batch of 20,000 people, the third batch would be 60,000 people.  But no one dared to remind Tian Hu, because Tian Hu, who did not read much, would be most taboo after becoming a queen, is for others to casually say that he is ignorant.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????"Everyone and everyone go and recharge their batteries, kill the soldiers and horses of the Liang Kingdom, and I will be rewarded heavily. Tian Biao and Fan Quan are coming with me."

    After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the back.

    A group of civil and military officials hurriedly bent down and shouted: "Best farewell to the king."

    The two kings, Tian Biao and Zhang Fan Quan, who were called out, trotted out of the main hall to catch up with Tian Hu.

    After leaving the main hall, Tian Hu stopped and waited for the two to catch up.

    "How many people do you think we can trust?"

    Tian Biao thought for a while and said: "Many people in the city have been frightened by the soldiers and horses of the Liang Kingdom. The ones they can trust are probably the ones who initially raised the army with us. They killed the most people. If they go to Daliang, they will probably escape even if they don't die."  They shouldn't want to surrender."

    Fan Quan said: "What the Second King said is that there are not many people who can be trusted."

    Tian Hu sighed, nodded and said, "I think so too. Keep a close eye on me for the past two days. Tian Biao, you are in charge of the south gate and west gate, and Zhang Zhang, you are in charge of the north gate and east gate. Hold on for two days until reinforcements arrive."  , they will feel at ease.¡±

    When the two heard that Tian Hu had entrusted them with the important task, they hurriedly expressed their gratitude.

    Tian Hu warned the two of them again before letting them go out.

    "And Tian Hu came to the harem. Although the founding of the country was only half a year ago, he collected hundreds of beauties in his harem, many of whom he didn't have time to enjoy.

    ¡° However, Tian Hu was not in the mood to work hard to cultivate the wasteland, and instead came to the harem to look for Fan Quan¡¯s daughter.

    Concubine Fan Guifei was only twenty-eight years old, and she had the beauty of a country. She could be said to be the only favorite in the harem.

    Concubine Fan Guifei saw Tian Hu coming and immediately served her attentively. In front of the beauty, Tian Hu forgot about state affairs and soon started a war in the harem.

    While Tian Hu was enjoying himself in the harem, an undercurrent surged in the city.

    The soldiers and horses of Daliang shot bows and arrows with documents into the city. Everyone knew that Daliang only refused to pardon Brother Tian Hu, and the officers and soldiers in the city could be pardoned as long as they surrendered.

    Although Tian Hu's confidants immediately sent people to seize the documents after seeing the first document, the beams kept shooting into the city. The soldiers in Hedong, who had lost much fighting spirit, opened the documents one after another and read them. Even the illiterate ones opened the documents and read them.  I hid it and wanted to find someone who could read it after I returned to the camp.

    The civil and military officials who are qualified to go to the temple have already learned the news from the main hall, so naturally they do not need to read these documents.  But most of the soldiers and a few people in the city didn't know the news, but before dark, everyone in the city knew the news.

    There are many soldiers but few civilians in Wei Sheng's army. The city of Wei Sheng's army was not big originally. When Tian Hu built the palace, the large and small yamen occupied half of the city.  Then they raised another 100,000 soldiers and horses to guard Weisheng, and the few people in the city were moved to Wuxiang, Mianshang and Qinyuan counties.  It can be said that Washeng is completely a large military camp. The only ones left in the city are merchants and big households. The merchants want the soldiers in the city to buy food and drink, while the big households are afraid that Tian Hu will run away.

      Previously when Tian Hu was in rebellion, he robbed all the big households he encountered, but after raising the flag to rebel, he changed his previous behavior.  In the past, the focus was on plundering large households, but after the rebellion, the focus was on protecting large households. Of course, large households had to pay taxes to support them.

    The big families detained in Hedong are miserable. As long as Tian Hu is short of money, he will send people to collect taxes. There is no fixed time and no fixed tax amount. They are completely raised like hens that can lay golden eggs.  If they want to survive, they can only keep making money and try not to let Tian Hu empty out their wealth, otherwise they will not be able to pay taxes, and no one knows how Tian Hu will deal with them.
