The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 868
After the "Sanshui Great Victory", Lao Niu was not in a hurry to go south to fight Gaoping, but gathered up the complete horses, and at the same time sent Zhang Pu, Zhang Yuan and the prisoners to Pinglu City in the rear, and then rested for a while. Continue south.

When the captives were transported to Lian County, Zhuge Liang also used these captives, Zhang Pu, and Zhang Yuan to attack Lian County. When the defenders saw the piles of scrap iron kites, especially Zhang Pu and Zhang Yuan, their faces were very ugly.

In an instant, the morale in the city plummeted. The iron kite was the Xixia ace army and was in the hands of Li Yuanhao all the time. The identities of Zhang Pu and Zhang Yuan were naturally unusual in Xixia. This was a fatal blow to the morale of the Lian County defenders.

Coupled with the news that Zhuge Liang was still walking non-stop and Li Yuanhao was seriously injured in the defeat, people in Lian County were panicked for a while!

Zhang Pu and Zhang Yuan were also very surprised when they saw Zhuge Liang, Marshal of the Northern Song Dynasty!Naturally, I was surprised that Zhuge Liang was the commander-in-chief of one party at such a young age!

This is the ignorance of Zhang Pu and Zhang Yuan. Except for Du Gao, Marshal Zhuge Liang, Di Qing, and Lu Xun are all very young and rising stars. Only in this way can the older generation of Yu Yunwen feel at ease in the cabinet.

However, in order to survive, Zhang Pu and Zhang Yuan revealed a secret to Zhuge Liang!The request is naturally hoping to exchange the lives of the two of them!

Naturally, Zhuge Liang would not agree to this. When Li Yuanhao's "country saving strategy" came to Lu Heng from the spies of Jinyiwei and Huangcheng Division, the Song Emperor Lu Heng had already issued a must-kill list for Zhang Pu and Zhang Yuan. .

Zhang Pu and Zhang Yuan must be sent to the emperor of Jinyang. If they are alive, they must see people, and if they die, they must see their corpses!
Zhuge Liang is not a pedantic person either, he only exchanged this secret by saying to the two that he would speak well in front of His Majesty. It turned out that Li Yuanhao was quite afraid of the prestige of the two brothers Yeli Yuqi and Yeli Wangrong in the army , but as Ji Lasiyi, Ren Duo Baozhong, Ren Duo Ding and others died in battle, they had to use two people.

Zhuge Liang was thoughtful about this, so he sent someone to Jinyang Lu Heng to ask Zhang Pu and Zhang Yuan for instructions on how to detain more of them. Take some bad water.

In this way, Zhuge Liang left Zhang Pu and Zhang Yuan to ask for advice on Xixia characters. Zhuge Liang is worthy of being the top genius of this life. He understood the new Xixia characters in just 20 days, and then sent them to Jinyang.

Let’s talk about the ending of Zhang Pu and Zhang Yuan first. Zhuge Liang sent them to Jinyang and there was a handwritten letter written by himself. When Lu Heng saw Zhuge Liang’s letter, it was both a letter of pleading and an admonition letter.

The general content of the letter is as follows: "The two thieves, Zhang Pu and Zhang Yuan, are too numerous to write down and their crimes cannot be punished. But you can't get a cruel name because of the two thieves.

Since ancient times, virtuous kings have always lightened punishments and cultivated their virtues. They cannot use the crimes of two people to pay for the reputation of a wise king. Therefore, Liang suggested that the death of two people is enough. I hope your majesty will think twice. "

That's right, Lu Heng hated these traitors so much, he had thought about how to deal with the two of them more than once on the way there, and even Lu Heng had thought about using cruel punishments like Ling Chi to deter those greedy and unconscionable people from all over the world. man of.

However, Lu Heng didn't think about implicating his family or the nine clans, unless there was evidence that other people also suggested that Li Yuanhao murdered his compatriots.

It was Qin Hui, Liu Yu and others who made Lu Heng think about using this cruel punishment at the beginning. Zhang Pu and Zhang Yuan not only worked for the Xixia people in the original time and space, but also the continuous mutilation of the people in this time and space was what really made Lu Heng angry.

Zhuge Liang also saw Lu Heng's anger. He was afraid that Lu Heng would harm the innocent and punish the Jiu Clan. This first and then reconciliation would lead to a bad start, and future generations would continue to use severe punishments again, so he did it. Will speak out.

Since ancient times, many tyrants have been severely punished, and Zhuge Liang did not want Lu Heng to be used as a shield for not cutting off his descendants. Why did the "Gaozu" use heavy punishment to beat villains and so on.

Don't underestimate this power. How terrifying the power of the word "ancestral system" was in ancient times. The word that appeared most frequently during the Song Dynasty was that the ancestral system cannot be violated!Zhao Guangyi's ridiculous array system has been implemented until the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty because the "ancestral system" cannot be violated.

At that time, Zong Ze taught Yue Fei the formation map, and Yue Fei commented: "The formation is followed by the battle, the art of war is regular, the use is wonderful, and it is all in one mind."

Look at people like Lian Zongze, who are still fiddling with the formation map, which shows his power!
Some people say that this was clearly stipulated by the idiot emperors in the Northern Song Dynasty. Wouldn’t it be fine if there were no regulations? Will the emperor be unscrupulous?
wrong!Big mistake!If there is no regulation, future generations will also be regarded as "models" and role models.

Li Shiminxiong, who started the Zhenguan Reign, was roughly true, but he could not cover up the bad start of the Xuanwumen Change, and the subsequent regime change in the Tang Dynasty would be bloody.

Another example is that Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, had a strong desire for control. He set the "living expenses" for the clan in addition to setting salaries for officials.

The result is that the clan was actually starved to death and the law was not amended. Zhang Juzheng's reform was not like the reform of the Northern Song Dynasty. It was quite effective during his reign. overthrow.

Zhuge Liang's persuasion does not seem to be a big deal. Zhang Pu and Zhang Yuan will be killed if they are killed. In fact, it is a tactful point.

After reading Zhuge Liang's letter, Lu Heng summoned Zhang Pu and Zhang Yuan. Lu Heng asked them a sharp question: "Why do you two devote your life to Li Yuanhao?"

As soon as this question came out, the two people who were so troublesome regained their senses and knew that they would die. Zhang Pu said calmly: "No one! For Lier!"

"People's hearts!" Lu Heng secretly sighed!

"You all have to thank Marshal Zhuge, this matter will not implicate your family until the two of you!"

"The guilty people thank your Majesty!"

So Zhang Pu and Zhang Yuan were beheaded by Wu Song himself. Now Wu Song is still the same Wu Song who hates evil and has a fierce temper. Hearing about the crimes of Zhang Pu and Zhang Yuan from the Imperial City Secretary, he has long wanted to chop them up. .

After decapitating the heads of the two sinners, it is necessary to use waste. At this time, Lao Niu has already approached Gaoping City and gave the heads of the two to Lao Niu to deter the morale of the enemy.

What Lu Heng didn't know was that the reason why Zhuge Liang interceded for Zhang Pu and Zhang Yuan was not only to persuade and stop the attack, but also to have an opportunity to destroy Lian County based on the information of the two, which was also considered to be a good deal for Zhang Pu and Zhang Yuan. Zhang and Yuan reciprocate the favor.

In this way, Jin Yiwei, who was lurking in Gaoping, received a letter that he couldn't understand at all, and it was all written in Xixia characters. He just needed to find a way to send it to Ren Dejing.
