History of Yongwu

Chapter 292 Loyalty

Jianye Palace

With his head lowered halfway, Lu Cong followed behind the guide, scanning the scenery in the other palace, and couldn't help feeling a little sad in his heart.

He might not want to emulate General Peng's loyalty, but there is a high hall, and Lu Cong can't be as carefree as Peng Ge. .

Lu Cong couldn't bear the old mother's octogenarian age, so he could only come here.

"General Lu, please." Li Han led people in sideways.

Lu Cong bowed his head in return, took a deep breath, and stepped into the door, "See His Royal Highness King Jin"

"Haha General Lu" Qin Yu helped him up with a smile and took him to sit down. "This king has missed the general for a long time."

Lu Cong was dragged by King Jin, and was taken aback for a moment, a little uncomfortable with "the prince's love"

"I searched for the general for a long time but failed. I heard that the general's mother is still in Hai County, so I sent someone to take care of her. I didn't expect to see the general." Qin Yu smiled and said very sincerely, "The general will not blame the king for being troublesome."

"The last general dare not" Lu Cong hurriedly stood up.

"What is the general doing?" Qin Yu pulled him to sit down again, poured him a cup of tea and said, "Since the general is here, I have something to ask the general."

Long before his arrival, Lu Cong had guessed the purpose of King Jin, and he was ready to compromise for his mother, but when King Jin asked, he thought of General Peng Ge who was far away in the mountain pass.

"My lord" Lu Cong knelt down and touched his head to the ground, "After all, the last general was a minister of Wu, and now the kingdom of Wu is destroyed by the lord, and the imperial court's destiny has returned, and I dare not disobey the will of God. Your Majesty forgives you"

"This king admires loyal people the most." Qin Yu helped him up, "Don't worry, general, this king will naturally not let you do things that violate your loyalty."

"My lord please show me"

"Recently, there is an assassin who always assassinates this king. He wears white clothes and holds a sword. This king hopes that you can find him."

King Jin's tone was strange, Lu Cong frowned, and asked hesitantly, "What should I do if I find it?"

"Report to this king immediately, don't disturb him, and don't hurt him," Qin Yu said seriously.

"Yes"

Lu Cong accepted the order respectfully, and stepped back slowly. Just as he reached the door, King Jin suddenly called him back.

"Lu Cong, I seem to have seen you somewhere before."

The corners of King Jin's eyes narrowed slightly, and Lu Cong was startled when he saw the cold light inside. He knelt down, bowed his head and said, "The last general is guilty, Hongping Town, Yingzhou, what the last general did"

"Oh"

The king of Jin promised not to make a sound. Lu Cong looked at the floor tiles, cold sweat gradually oozing from his forehead. After waiting for a while, the king of Jin spoke again.

"You were a minister of Wu at that time, there is nothing wrong with it, and now you have belonged to this king, I hope you can treat this king with the same heart as the king of Wu, and be more careful about the assassins."

"My lord's kindness will always be remembered in my heart"

Lu Cong looked rejoicing for the rest of his life after the catastrophe, and Qin Yu couldn't help sighing when he looked at Ma Wu who thought of his unjust death and the aggrieved kid.

Each is their own master, and it is not Lu Cong's fault. Even if they take revenge, it will not be Lu Cong's turn to take it on their behalf.

Outside

Lu Cong wiped off the cold sweat on his head, but there was still a trace of fear in his heart. King Jin was different from King Wu. King Wu was like the scorching sun.

The king of Jin knows better than the king of Wu how to apply kindness and power, and knows how to control his subjects. If such a person does not want to be an enemy, he can bow his head with peace of mind, so that he can be safe.

In the midsummer of June, it is especially hot in the south of the Yangtze River. It is impossible to stay outside at noon, even the guards hide in the corridor to guard. Du Xuetang is leaning against the window to sleep, and the willow shade outside the courtyard covers his head to avoid the heat wave above his head.

Standing at his door, Qin Yu looked at his long eyebrows and felt a bit of coolness in his heart. He hesitated and wanted to leave, but just as he turned around, the person behind him woke up.

"My lord, you're here." Du Xuetang's eyes were dim, and a smile hung on the corner of his lips just after waking up.

Well, want to see you!Turning around, Qin Yu put away his old thoughts, and said politely, "Mr. disturbing your dream"

Du Xuetang stood up to return the salute, then sat down and poured two cups of tea, and looked at King Jin, "My lord, what's the matter?"

"Lu Cong is here, the king is here to thank Mr.

"Just to thank me?"

Qin Yu avoided his gaze, sat next to him, picked up his teacup and said, "Mr. Mingyue must have known about it, what advice do you have?"

"Although Yan Shijun wooed Yu Yi, and took advantage of the changes in the bright moon, he wooed the family of the Wu Kingdom with the intention of confronting the prince, but..." Du Xuetang smiled, pinching the teacup with thin white fingers and said, "Didn't you also have a countermeasure?"

The imperial court issued a decree that the king of Jin would add the governor of Wu to oversee the military and political affairs of the counties in the southeast, and act as the emperor's seal. It can be said that the land of Wu was completely sealed by the king of Jin.

"It's just a false name." Qin Yu put down his cup, looked down at the table and said, "Sir, you know that to conquer Wu, you must rebuild the hearts of the people, and to rebuild the hearts of the people, you must pull out the clan. Now... this king has no time to do these things."

"Mingyue and Yan Shijun are not enough to stop the prince"

"If you can stay in the state of Wu and act as my king, the Jin army will not have to worry about going south."

Hehe... Du Xuetang shook his head, looked at King Jin and said peacefully, "My lord is a man of the world, how could he not understand that this move is useless, it's extremely tasteless"

If before, it was reasonable to pull out the family and let myself be the person who carried out the state affairs in Wu, but now that Mingyue intervenes, King Jin has no time to target the family of Wu, so he can only win over the family. People with no family background come to deal with them.

"The Wu land is in trouble. This king needs someone who is familiar with the Wu land. No one is more suitable than Mr." Qin Yu looked at him.

'Appropriate' Du Xuetang didn't understand why there was a burst of self-deprecating and wry smile in his heart, looked at the opposite King Jin, cupped his hands and said solemnly, "My lord, you actually don't need Du, you don't need anyone, you alone are enough to rule the world, as long as... calm down"

In fact, the King of Jin doesn't need any people who deal with them. The panic-stricken Wu family will not reject the kindness of the King of Jin. As long as the King of Jin can temporarily stabilize the hearts of the people, don't let Yan Shijun have the upper hand. After Mingyue is forced to retreat, he will naturally be free to rectify Wu land.

Who are you hard on?Qin Yu opened his mouth, but didn't dare to ask. Footsteps came from the silent courtyard, and Li Han hurried into the courtyard.

"General Wang secretly reported that Peng Ge is willing to surrender"

Sitting next to him, Du Xuetang suddenly smiled, with a trace of relief in his smile, looked at the willow tree in the courtyard and said, "Look, I'm right"

King Jin frowned, cupped his hands at him, and walked away quickly. Du Xuetang watched his figure disappear, leaned against the window again, and half closed his eyes.

Can a strict gentleman, the Wu family, really stand against you?No, the dilemma is only temporary, but your regression is immutable.

Wen Hou is not worthy to be your enemy, and your ruthlessness in not going down is against Nangong Yuliang who sat high on the throne in the capital and betrayed you.

The country of Wu has well-developed waterways. Qin Yu took a boat from Jianye all the way to Shanguan. Before the pass, he looked at the banner of the country of Wu still floating on the top of the city, and frowned.

Wang Meng stood on the horse, turned his head and said, "My lord, Peng Ge asks my lord to enter the city to accept surrender."

Qin Yu was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "Then the king will enter the city."

"king··"

"I don't believe that such a loyal person will deceive me." Qin Yu interrupted, leading Li Han into the pass.

Standing behind him, Wang Meng's palms were soaked in cold sweat unconsciously, and he swallowed hard. If Zhao Zhiping knew that he let King Jin enter the mountain pass like this, he felt that Zhao Zhiping could strangle him to death, as well as An Ziqi.

Inside the city gate, Peng Ge looked at the slowly approaching King Jin with a complicated expression.

"His Royal Highness King Jin"

"General Peng" Qin Yu dismounted.Li Han pressed his sword and looked around vigilantly.

"My lord, this way please"

Peng Ge sideways led King Jin to walk into the city, and Qin Yu followed behind with his hands behind his back, casually looking at this magnificent pass as famous as Jintian.

Alas... the last Wu Jun is gone.

Inside the military palace

"General Peng wants to see this king, what's the matter?" Qin Yu asked him.

Peng Ge sat beside him, looked at the guards in the courtyard, and said in a low voice, "My lord has seen it all the way. Wu Jun is already dead. The day King Wu fell, he was gone. Here are just some people who are struggling to live. , please be kind to the lord."

"The Jin army doesn't kill the soldiers, the general didn't stick to it for so long because of that," Qin Yu said with a smile.

"My lord, the general is willing to surrender, but the general has conditions." Peng Ge handed over.

"It's okay to say it, the general"

"Wu Jun and the last general belong to the court, not the King of Jin. Second, the prince must treat the surrendered soldiers well. If there is someone who does not want to continue to join the army, please don't force him to stay and let him go back to his hometown. Furthermore, there are many generals in the Wu army, and each of them was responsible for them before. Lord, now please let the prince put down his grudges, and don't get involved in the past."

Qin Yu remained silent and did not speak. He could agree to the last two, but the first point, if there were no Yan Shijun's actions and Yu Yi's interference, he wouldn't mind. Wu Guo surrendered, and in an instant he voted for Wenhou.

"If the lord refuses to agree, I will send you back and wait for the Jin army." Peng Ge stood up and narrated calmly.

Are all King Wu's subordinates like this?Qin Yu smiled, stood up and said, "This king wants to ask the general, the general refused to obey before death, why is he suddenly surrendering now?"

"My king warns, always keep it in mind, Peng Ge will not be a traitorous general, ashamed to King Wu"

"A good general, I admire you." Qin Yu said solemnly, "I will grant everything the general asks."

In June of the third year of Jianping, Peng Ge, the general of the State of Wu, guarded Shanguan for a month, and finally led [-] soldiers to surrender to the King of Jin. The last trace of the State of Wu in the world disappeared.

Southern Suburbs of Jianye

King Wu and Fu Yusi were buried together, and King Jin ordered a generous burial, so King Wu was buried according to the ceremonies of the vassal princes, and he was not humiliated because of his rebellion.

Peng Ge walked slowly into the hall of worship, knelt on the ground with a thud, and Qin Yu stood three steps behind him, looking at King Wu's coffin under the ever-burning lamp.

After a long time, Peng Ge knelt on the ground and raised his head slightly. He said in a choked voice, "Your Majesty, I will never be ashamed of you."

puff!Before Qin Yu could stop him, a dagger was already stuck in Peng Ge's chest. Peng Ge looked sideways at the King Wu Spirit Tablet, smiled in relief, and fell into a pool of blood.

"My lord..." Li Han rushed in and saw Peng Ge who had fallen to the ground and was stunned. "Are you okay?"

"The king is fine." Qin Yu stared blankly for a moment, avoiding Peng Ge's blood all over the ground, and walked out while saying, "Bury Peng Ge generously by the side of King Wu's tomb."

After boarding the carriage, Qin Yu returned to the other palace as if nothing had happened under strict protection.

At dusk, when the heat dissipated, Qin Yu listened to Zhao Zhiping talking to him with his hands behind his back, but his eyes always slipped to the door, a little dazed.

"My lord?" Mr. Zhao finally realized that King Jin was absent-minded.

"Oh, what did you say, sir?" Qin Yu returned to his senses, without any embarrassment.

"Although Peng Ge is dead, there are [-] strong soldiers in the Wu army, and it is impossible to dismiss them all. In order to prevent Yan Shijun from making another move, the prince must win over the soldiers," Zhao Zhiping replied patiently.

"General Peng died to repay King Wu's kindness, but he helped me," Qin Yu said with emotion.

Peng Gefei was going to surrender to the imperial court, which made him very worried at first, but he didn't expect to go to the southern suburbs and die like that!

Zhao Zhiping finally frowned, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, now it is time to stabilize the soldiers of the State of Wu and the aristocratic family of the State of Wu. Only after you beat back the bright moon can you continue to govern the country."

"This king knows, this king understands" Qin Yu heard Zhao's dissatisfaction and quickly calmed down, "Sir, you have said so much, you have something to persuade me."

Zhao Zhiping's face changed slightly, and he calmed down and said, "My lord, after Peng Ge's death, Chu Zhang will lead the troops. If the Chu family can win over the Wu family, they can go south with peace of mind."

"How to win"

"Chu Qian once secretly told Wei Chen that he intended to dedicate his sister to the prince"

Chu Qian's younger sister, Qin Yu twitched his eyebrows, looked at him and asked, "How many younger sisters does Chu Qian have?"

"Currently there is only one person in the boudoir, Chu Qian's mother and sister," Zhao Zhiping replied, spying on King Jin.

What a fucking coincidence!Qin Yu was agitated for a moment, glanced at him and said, "Sir, don't worry, the king agrees."

"The humble minister led the decree" Zhao Zhiping breathed a sigh of relief.

I'm getting married again!Qin Yu lay there, and the previous irritability returned to the bottom of his heart, giving birth to more impatience.
