Chapter 463 Pengcheng's Response

Chapter 462: Pengcheng's Response

Pardoning Yu Zilong is no longer a matter for Xiang Kuang alone. Xiang Kuang has to consider all aspects of it. After all, Yu Zilong and his soldiers and horses are important, but the Chen family and Jiang Zi cannot gain or lose. The first family, at this time of life and death, Xiang Kuang cannot lose the support of the Chen family, let alone Jiang Zi, the state of Chu, which is short of major generals, can no longer afford to lose Jiang Zi, let alone Jiang Zi The existence of Xiang Kuang will balance Chen Feng's existence in the future, and there is no room for loss.

Yes, Jiang Zi is not only the only remaining general to Chu State, but more importantly, after experiencing the rebellion of the Long family brothers, Zhang Di’s dictatorship, and the Pengcheng Mutiny, Xiang Kuang has lost his respect for these generals. With confidence and patience, what Xiang Kuang can do is to balance the forces in the army when he has to look at these important generals. Jiang Zi, who is comparable to Chen Feng in terms of prestige, qualifications and strength, is undoubtedly the best. selected.

"Fan Qing, you must know that the family members of Chen Xiang and General Jiang Zi died at the hands of Yu Zilong. If the widow issues an edict to pardon Yu Zilong and Zhang's brothers, I am afraid that the Chen family and General Jiang Zi will be separated from Da Chu!" Kuang expressed the embarrassment in his heart, and he also knew that it would be the best for Chu State to get Yu Zilong's help through pardon at this time, but if because of Yu Zilong, the Chen family, the number one family in Pengcheng, would still be Jiang Zi. The important figures in Kwong Balance's military are alienated from Chu State, which is not what Xiang Kuang hopes for.

Fan Ting doesn't know about these, but in terms of the current situation, Yu Zilong is very important, so he gritted his teeth and said: "My lord, these ministers are of course very clear, but now is the life and death of Da Chu. The power of Yu Zilong, as for the Chen family and General Jiang Zi, as the saying goes, if there is no skin, no hair will be attached, and there will be no eggs under the nest. If the big Chu is gone, what is the point of talking about it? Please also Your Majesty Enzhun, if the Chen family and General Jiang Zi are dissatisfied with this, I am willing to persuade them one by one!"

Fan Ting's words moved Xiang Kuang immediately. In fact, he was not particularly resistant to the pardon of Yu Zilong and Zhang's brothers. After all, during the Pengcheng mutiny, Xiang Kuang actually had nothing to lose, at most he just lost some face. In front of Jiangshan Sheji, what is a little face?As for the Chen family and Jiang Zi, what Fan Ting said was quite right, if there is no skin left, how can the general Mao be attached?If you can't stop Zhao Jun, and you can't keep the country of Chu, what is the future?So the most important thing now is to keep the country. As for the others, let's talk about it after Zhao Jun is retreated!

After thinking it over, Xiang Kuang nodded and said, "Okay, according to what Fan Qing said, I will issue an edict to pardon Yu Zilong and Zhang's brothers. As long as they can help Da Chu repel Zhao Jun, I will let the past go. As for the Chen family and General Jiang Zi, the widow will personally send someone to explain, and after the Zhao army has retreated, the widow will personally give them an explanation!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Seeing that Xiang Kuang finally made the right decision, Fan Ting was very happy, and complimented Xiang Kuang incidentally.

Hearing Fan Ting's compliment, Xiang Kuang shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "It's not wise, I'm just trying to mend a deadlock. Sometimes I think, if the quarrel with Yu Zilong hadn't been so tense, Da Chu might have been It will not be reduced to such a field!"

Yes, Xiang Kuang regretted it. If Yu Zilong could be well appeased at the beginning, the Pengcheng mutiny would not have happened, and it would not lead to the fact that people inside and outside are not human anymore.

He didn't say anything to Fan Ting, are you going to say that Xiang Kuang was wrong?Not necessarily, after all, as the king of a country, Xiang Kuang certainly hopes to hold all the power in his hands, and the existence of Yu Zilong is the biggest resistance to Xiang Kuang's power, and it is understandable to remove him. At the beginning, Xiang Kuang did not do enough and was not cruel enough. He hoped to take back the military power in Yu Zilong's hands, but also hoped to keep Yu Zilong for the country's use. This led to today's embarrassing situation. However, this is not what Fan Ting can do. It was resolved, since Xiang Kuang had agreed to pardon Yu Zilong and the Zhang family brothers, and Fan Ting's goal had also been achieved, so he went on to prepare for the envoy to Wancheng, after all, there was not much time left for Chu.

After the disintegration of the dynasty, Xiang Kuang sent people to Peijun and Xiapi to spread the imperial edict, ordering the soldiers and horses of Peijun and Xiapi to quickly reinforce Pengcheng, and also sent a royal minister to Xiapi to announce the edict, pardoning Yu Zilong and the Zhang family brothers .

But what Xiang Kuang didn't know was that it was impossible for the reinforcements from Peijun and Xiapi to come to Pengcheng, because at the same time Li Rubing led his troops south to Pengcheng County, Le Yun and Dong Zhong also launched an attack on Chu at the same time. .

In the 23rd year of Qianyuan, on July 28, when the envoy sent by Xiang Kuang came to the place where Chen Feng and Jiang Zi were hoarding troops, Chen Feng and Jiang Zi had already fought with Dong Zhong's 4 Zhao troops, and In the case of inferior troops and combat power, the Chu army was repeatedly defeated. In order to preserve their strength, Chen Feng and Jiang Zi had no choice but to lead their troops to defend Surabaya, but the [-] soldiers they brought had already There are less than [-] left.

When receiving Xiang Kuang's edict, Chen Feng could only smile wryly, because in addition to receiving the edict to reinforce Pengcheng, Chen Feng and Jiang Zi also learned from the envoy that Xiang Kuang obeyed the new Prime Minister Fan Ting's order. It is suggested that in order to concentrate all forces against the Zhao army, an imperial edict was issued to pardon Yu Zilong and the Zhang family brothers, and said that as long as Yu Zilong is willing to serve the country, the past will be forgotten!

Chen Feng didn't have much opinion on this, because Chen Feng was very clear about the current situation. With Yu Zilong's help, he would be more sure of repelling the Zhao army, and at the worst, he could contain the Zhao army's offensive. Entering the tug-of-war and waiting for Deng Jun's rescue, although Chen Ding, who died in the hands of Yu Zilong, was Chen Feng's family, he was not Chen Feng's close relative after all, so there was no unresolvable deep hatred between Chen Feng and Yu Zilong.

However, Chen Feng has no opinion, which does not mean that Jiang Zi has no opinion, because during the Pengcheng mutiny, all Jiang Zi's family except him and his eldest son died at the hands of Yu Zilong. When they heard the envoy's words, both Jiang Zi and his eldest son Jiang Tai had angry expressions on their faces. They were obviously very dissatisfied with Xiang Kuang's pardon of Yu Zilong and Zhang's brothers.

Seeing the expressions of Jiang Zi's father and son, Chen Feng sighed. He also knew that Jiang Zi's father and son felt very uncomfortable. It is also true that this kind of thing is not easy for anyone. Back when the whole family was killed, Jiang Zi and Jiang Tai's father and son were single-minded. I wanted to kill Yu Zilong to avenge my revenge, and Xiang Kuang also said at the beginning that he would fully support Jiang Zi, but now the situation has changed suddenly. In order to keep the country and the community, Xiang Kuang and I have broken our original promise and issued an edict to pardon Yu Zilong and the Zhang brothers, and Say let bygones be bygones.

For Xiang Kuang's decision, Chen Feng expressed his understanding, but he did not agree with it, but now, everything is a foregone conclusion, and if Yu Zilong can return, it will be of great help to the next fight against Zhao Daye, so Chen Feng He didn't have any opinions, but Chen Feng decided that it was still necessary to appease the Jiang family father and son. After all, Yu Zilong was important, and the Jiang family father and son were also indispensable.

"General Jiang, I know you feel uncomfortable, but what I want to say is that the reason why the king did this was because of no other choice. , if we are still entangled with Yu Zilong at this time, Zhao Jun will only be cheap in the end, so I hope General Jiang can put the country first at this moment and put down the hatred for the time being. I, Chen Feng, promise that after repelling Zhao Jun Be the first to stand up and seek justice for General Jiang!" Chen Feng said to Jiang Zi and his son, in addition to persuading Jiang Zi to let go of the hatred in his heart for the time being, he also promised that as long as Zhao Jun was repelled, he would be the first to stand up for Jiang Zi. Ask for justice.

Hearing Chen Feng's words, when Jiang Zi didn't respond, Jiang Tai was a little dissatisfied and wanted to speak, but before Jiang Tai could speak, Jiang Zi stopped him. Jiang Zi said to Chen Feng: "General Chen speaks seriously. Now, I, Jiang Zi, can still tell which is more important, national hatred or family hatred, if Yu Zilong can really rein in the precipice and return to Dachu as the king and General Chen imagined, it’s okay to let go of some grudges!" Up to now, Jiang Zi is very clear that this matter is beyond his ability to stop, the situation is not stronger than others, and he can only admit it by pinching his nose!
