Chapter 24 Under the edict? Resist the decree?

Wanyan Zongwang looked at him in bewilderment as a man in official uniform of the Song Dynasty moved in from outside the tent with his head hunched over and a smile on his face. As soon as he entered the tent, he knelt down on the ground with a thud and bowed.

He said: "My envoy Wang Fang has met the Eastern King of the Kingdom of Jin and the second prince of the Kingdom of Jin."

When Wanyan Zongwang saw Wang Fang's appearance, he felt unhappy at first——

With a pair of upside-down triangular eyes, two curved willow-leaf eyebrows, and one hand hidden in his sleeves, his submissive appearance makes him look like a complete villain.

Wanyan Zonghan naturally did not look down upon Wang Fang at all, and his attitude and tone were naturally not polite: "Wu, envoy from the Song Dynasty, please tell me again the terms of your Dao Lord and Emperor."

"Go back to His Highness Dongwang,"

Wang Fang saluted Wanyan Zonghan and said: "The official has ordered me to come to negotiate peace with His Highness Dong Wang. As long as His Highness is willing to support the official's return to power, the official is willing to agree to the terms of His Highness Dong Wang, including Hebei Province in Taiyuan."

Three towns, ten million guan per year."

Wanyan Zonghan hummed, and suddenly shouted loudly: "I'm afraid you're not here to pretend to surrender!"

Wang Fang was startled, and he quickly leaned over and said: "This villain is sincerely negotiating for peace, and is not pretending to surrender. Wangdong Wang Mingjian!"

Wanyan Zonghan glanced disdainfully at Wang Fang, who had wet spots between his legs, waved his hand unabashedly, and asked: "Since you sincerely negotiate for peace, what proof do you have?"

"have!"

Seeing that Wanyan Zonghan was willing to talk about peace talks, Wang Fang suddenly became energetic, and he bowed down and bowed before replying: "The emperor ordered me to go to Taiyuan City to meet Wang Zhen and Zhang Xiaochun, and ordered them to

Open the door to dedicate the city to His Highness the Eastern King. If they are unwilling to dedicate the city, I may choose someone to take my place!"

Wanyan Zonghan nodded with satisfaction, then waved his hand and said, "Get out and wait."

Wang Fang first bowed respectfully to Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang, then slowly stood up from the ground, bowed and walked backwards out of the tent.

After Wang Fang, who had already wet his lower body, exited, Wanyan Zonghan said: "The people of the Song Dynasty are extremely rich, but they are also extremely weak. They like fighting within themselves more than fighting outside. With such a cowardly emperor, the Song Dynasty primary school

How can the emperor remain undefeated?"

But Wanyan Zongwang shook his head and said: "The people of Song Dynasty are cunning. When I was at Bianjing City, the dog emperor of Song Dynasty also sent envoys to negotiate peace. In the end, he trapped and killed Guo Yaoshi, Xiao Sanbaonu and others. This time Taiyuan was not

Damn it, the Song Dynasty envoy arrived first, is it possible that the dog emperor wants to repeat his old plan?"

Wanyan Zonghan chuckled and said: "It's different, it's very different.

This person was sent by Zhao Ji, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, and not by the dog emperor you mentioned. And if Zhao Ji wanted to return to the capital to rule, the dog emperor became his biggest stumbling block, so it is unlikely that there is a lie

.

In addition, let someone send this envoy to Taiyuan City later. If he really came to persuade him to surrender, Taiyuan would be able to surrender without a fight. If he did not really come to persuade him to surrender, things would be the same as the current situation and nothing would happen.

change."



"Commander Vice-President Wang, General Zhang, are you accepting the order, or are you planning to resist it?"

On top of Taiyuan City, Wang Fang, who had just announced Zhao Jixiang's decree, weighed the imperial edict in his hand, and looked at Taiyuan Deputy Commander Wang Zhen and Taiyuan Guard General Zhang Xiaochun with a playful expression.

Wang Fang knew how fucked up his decree was——

Completely ignoring all the efforts and sacrifices made in Taiyuan before, he ceded the entire Taiyuan to the Jin people for free in a single word, in exchange for the Jin people supporting the emperor's return to Bianjing.

Wang Fang also knew how much Wang Zhen, Zhang Xiaochun and even the Qiu Ba people on the top of Taiyuan City hated him. Just look at their eyes and they wanted to eat him alive.

But so what?

We are just a bunch of people, how dare you resist and disobey the order?

After Wang Zhen turned his head and looked at Zhang Xiaochun, he saw the expressions in the eyes of the soldiers kneeling around him, so he bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Wang Zhen, accept the order."

Wang Fang then hummed, handed the imperial edict in his hand to the king, and said: "That's right. I accepted the edict honestly. It's good for you, for me, for Taiyuan, for officials and other seniors."

That’s fine.”

Wang Fang flattered and took two steps towards Wang Fang with a smile, but did not take the imperial edict in Wang Fang's hand at all. Instead, he pulled out the short knife he carried with him and stabbed Wang Fang hard in the face with a look of shock on his face: "I'll take your mother's hand.

Crooked criticism!"

Wang Xun vigorously stirred the short knife in his hand, and shouted in a low voice with a ferocious look: "No one's will can do it! No one wants me to be a dog to the Jin soldiers! Not the emperor, nor the king of heaven!"

Wang Fang's mouth was bleeding, and his pupils were full of disbelief. How could he still have the arrogance he had when he came to announce the decree?

Wang Fang's body, which was about to die as bad as a dog, was thrown off the city wall. Wang Zhen glanced at the stunned soldiers around him with a gloomy look, and shouted loudly: "There are no angels! The Jin army is currently sieging the city.

, how could the angel come to Taiyuan? This is a trick sent by Jin Bing to shake the morale of the army!"

"The deputy capital commander is wise!"

Zhang Xiaochun hurriedly answered: "The Jin soldiers are cunning. How can it be difficult to find a craftsman from anywhere and forge an imperial edict? Haven't you heard that among the Liangshan thieves, there are rebel thieves who are good at forging seals?"

Fortunately, the deputy commander was wise and saw through the Jin man's plot!"

Seeing that the soldiers on the city had already believed his words, Wang Zincai took Zhang Xiaochun to avoid the crowd and asked with a gloomy look: "How many days will the supplies in the city be enough?"

Zhang Xiaochun's expression was not very good either: "There are a lot of arrows and other things stored in the city, and it is not difficult to supply them for a year. However, there is not enough food in the city, and it can last for five days at most."

Seeing that Wang Zhen did not speak, but kept staring at him, Zhang Xiaochun said bravely: "We can collect the grain, cattle and sheep from the big households in the city. I think we can support it for a while."

Wang Zhen nodded, stood up, straightened his clothes, exhaled a breath of air, and said: "Then collect the grain, cattle and sheep from the big families in the city, and tell them that if Taiyuan can be defended, I will do a little better."

I will pay them a lot of money and then kowtow to them to apologize."

Zhang Xiaochun hummed, then pointed to the city and said: "I am good at killing angels, I'm afraid..."

"Which of your eyes saw that I am good at killing angels?"

Wang Zhen let out a disdainful sigh and said: "Today the officials are still in Bianjing, the emperor is in Bozhou, and the Jin soldiers are pressing down on the country, where did the angel come from? You just said it, this is the fine work of the Jin soldiers! He can only

It could be the work of Jin Bing!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Xiaochun's personal soldiers came over in a hurry, bowed to Wang Zhen and Zhang Xiaochun and said: "Commander, General, Master Lin, a gentry in Taiyuan City, and his six sons are asking for an audience!"

Master Lin?

This man is quite famous in Taiyuan City, but his reputation is not very good——

The family has more than a thousand acres of land, and each of the six sons in the family is good at guns and sticks, and they have two to three hundred nursing staff. If you say you are rich, you are really rich. If you say you are powerful, you are really powerful.

His name is also well-known in Taiyuan City.

The only bad thing is that Mr. Lin is too stingy. Breaking a penny into two petals is considered a generous man. If there is a soybean in the shit, he would like to wash it clean and save it for the next meal.

For a person like Mr. Lin, especially when he is likely to be loaned more food, cattle and sheep in the future, Wang Zhen and Zhang Xiaochun are not willing to have anything to do with him, but Mr. Lin's six sons and the two or three

The hundreds of nursing home servants are not easy to deal with. It's not yet time to borrow more food. If Master Lin's family is offended now and they are forced to make more troubles, I'm afraid that Taiyuan City will not be able to do so either.

quiet.

With this in mind, Wang Zhen and Zhang Xiaochun headed towards the city to greet them.

Dressed in brocade and silk clothes, Mr. Lin stood at the foot of the city with his arms and legs sleeved. Behind him stood six sons and dozens of guards. Each of the guards held swords, guns and sticks in their hands, and some held torches, lighting up a car behind him.

A big car.

Seeing Wang Zhen and Zhang Xiaochun walking over, Mr. Lin took a step forward to greet him. After cupping his hands, he pointed back at the six sons behind him and said in a deep voice: "There are 100,000 shi of grain here and 76,000 shi of grain."

Nine hundred and thirty-one and five hundred and eighty yuan, six sons, and two hundred servants to protect the courtyard. I have saved these for thirty years, and now they are all given to you, the commander of the capital, and General Zhang."

After finishing speaking, Mr. Lin simply turned away and left. He only paused briefly and continued: "Although they have children at home and are not afraid of death, there is only one left for me, so please.

"

The eldest son of the Lin family knelt down on the ground with the other five brothers. Wang Zhen and Zhang Xiaochun also bowed and saluted to Master Lin's retreating back. Wang Zhen did not pass until Master Lin's back completely disappeared around the corner of the street.

He helped the elder man of the Lin family and asked: "What is this?"

The elder of the Lin family raised his hand to Wang Zhen and replied: "Come back to the capital to command. My father said that if the city is destroyed, the family will be destroyed. Money and food are all things that will not be taken away until life and death. Why not just donate them?"

To the soldiers guarding the city.

In addition, my father has also contacted some wealthy families in the city to donate money and food, and I believe it will be delivered to the capital commander in the next two days."

Wang Zhen couldn't help but rub his hands, and looked at each other again - he and Zhang Xiaochun looked like villains in vain!

After sighing, Wang Zhen simply said to the eldest son of the Lin family: "In that case, the six of you brothers will temporarily act as my personal soldiers. After the danger in Taiyuan is resolved, how about you return home?"

The elder of the Lin family curled his lips and replied: "I only wish to go into battle to kill the enemy, even if I die, I will not regret it!"

Several other brothers of the Lin family also replied: "I only wish to go into battle to kill the enemy, even if I die, I will not regret it!"

Wang Zhen nodded solemnly, turned to Zhang Xiaochun and said, "Just look at the arrangements. I'll go back to the top of the city to have a look."
