Chapter 52 Bad luck
"They're coming over, official."

Watching the approaching ships, Zhao Heng asked a group of soldiers to put on Mongolian armor and pretend to be the Mongolian army, and stood on the shore to meet Pu Shougeng.

With a bang, Pu Shougeng's boat approached the pier on the shore, and immediately someone placed two pedals to connect the deck to the land.

"Father, we are here, let's go ashore."

Pu Shiwen supported Pu Shougeng and walked to the shore, looking at the crowd standing on the shore, he couldn't help complaining,
"This promotion is really grand. Even if you don't come to greet us in person, there is not even a single person to greet you. You must be looking down on us."

Hearing Pu Shiwen's words, Pu Shougeng also frowned, feeling that Zhang Hongfan was really exaggerating, and then took a closer look at the shore, wanting to see if Zhang Hongfan really treated him poorly.

Unexpectedly, upon seeing this, Pu Shougeng's expression changed drastically on the spot, and he held his son's hand, pretending to be fine, but slowly backed away.

"What's the matter, Dad, we're not going up, we're waiting here for Zhang Hongfan to send someone?"

"Zhang Hongfan, I'm afraid Zhang Hongfan won't be able to come here in this lifetime. Hurry up, retreat, retreat by boat, all the people on the shore are Song Jun in disguise."

Just now when Pu Shougeng looked ashore, not only was there not a single Mongol in the army, but the clothes of the people on the shore were all in tatters.

Hearing the meaning of his father's words, Pu Shiwen also changed his face, and immediately turned back to ask someone to sail the boat, but when he turned around, he was completely stunned.

"What are you doing standing there? Go!"

Seeing his son drop his chain at this critical moment, Pu Shougeng turned around angrily and slapped him in the face, and then he also froze.

At the rear of their fleet, more than a dozen ships full of Song Army have surrounded them, and even those in the outer circle have been captured by Song Army's jumping soldiers.

"Hey, Master Pu, why do you want to leave? I don't like to shut people out like you. I'm the most hospitable person. Why don't you come down and have a cup of tea together."

Seeing an old man with a white beard squeezed out from the army wearing the Mongolian Yuan military uniform, Pu Shougeng's expression completely collapsed.

"Zhang Zhang. Zhang Shijie."

"Hey, Master Pu still remembers me, I'm very honored!"

Originally, Zhang Shijie thought it was very childish when he saw Lu Xiufu mocking Zhang Hongfan in a weird way. This kind of behavior would ruin his image too much, but now he couldn't help but mock Pu Shougeng in a weird way, and found that this feeling was indeed quite refreshing. .

"Hehe, Master Zhang was joking, how could I forget Master Zhang?"

"That's good, that's good, come here, go and invite Mrs. Pu down for tea."

As soon as the order was issued, dozens of people stepped on the pedals to catch Pu Shougeng. Seeing this scene, Pu Shiwen immediately asked people to block these Song soldiers, and Pu Shougeng did not object to this approach.

"Master Pu, I advise you not to resist. With your current posture, is it possible for you to run away? If you want to resist wholeheartedly, hehe, don't say it was unexpected."

Hearing Zhang Shijie's threatening words, Pu Shougeng smiled bitterly, and waved his hands to make the people around him back down. Any further beating would only cause unnecessary casualties, and it would also irritate the Song people too much.

Without letting his son help him, Pu Shougeng straightened his back, patted his clothes, and stepped on the pedals to walk down slowly.

Up to now, Pu Shougeng still hasn't figured out how Zhang Hongfan lost, and he lost suddenly without any news.

As soon as he landed, someone rushed over and trapped Pu Shougeng with a rope. Zhang Shijie felt that he didn't need to be polite to his enemies.

Zhang Shijie escorted Pu Shougeng to see Zhao Heng, while the ships in place were boarded by the Song army one after another, and they began to kill.

Looking at Pu Shougeng who was kneeling in front of him, Zhao Hengrao took a few glances with interest, because he is of Arab descent, Pu Shougeng's face is indeed somewhat different from that of the Han people.

"Did he surrender himself?"

"Yes, the official."

"Okay, I won't beat him because he's so sensible. Lock him up with Zhang Hongfan and deal with them together when we have free time."

"Yes."

Hearing this news, Pu Shougeng was shocked again. Zhang Hongfan was actually captured. Doesn't that mean that the Mongolian Yuan army was almost completely wiped out, not the defeat he imagined.

"Officer, I have an idea."

At this time, Lu Xiufu came over to advise Zhao Heng like a dog-headed military adviser.

"what idea?"

"Look, officials, didn't we not know where to go next? I think Quanzhou is a good place, and we can use the boat brought by the rebel Pu Shougeng as cover to capture Quanzhou by surprise."

Hearing this suggestion, Zhao Heng's eyes lit up, he nodded, and patted Lu Xiufu's shoulder heavily.

"That's right, since you proposed it, then the next action is up to you to arrange."

"Yes, the old minister will definitely handle it properly."

Pu Shougeng, who was at the side, hurriedly begged for mercy when he heard the news.

"Officials, Mr. Lu, please let the Pu family go. My Pu family is willing to contribute all of my property to Da Song. At the same time, the Pu family will always be a member of Da Song from now on, and I will never dare to betray."

Although he didn't know where this sudden official family came from, Pu Shougeng saw that he was in charge here, and hurriedly begged Zhao Heng for mercy.

"Hehe, beg for mercy, did you pay attention to their begging for mercy when you killed the sons and literati of the Great Song clan? There are more than 3000 people, a total of more than 3000 people! Since you will beg for mercy, I will give you some face. Time to attack Quanzhou, I will only kill 4000 members of your Pu family, how about it, please be satisfied!"

Hearing Zhao Heng's words, Pu Shougeng's face turned pale. There were 4000 people in the Pu family, including slaves and maids, so the Pu family still had to be exterminated, but for a different reason.

"Official family, please, let the Pu family go, leave a descendant for the Pu family, please."

Pu Shougeng lay on the ground and kowtowed to Zhao Heng all the time. Regardless of the nationality, he was very concerned about whether he had descendants.

"Oh, take him down."

Ignoring Pu Shougeng's begging for mercy, it's not too late now. When Quanzhou gets the news, it will be inconvenient for him to wait for others. Zhao Heng is ready to pack up and go to Quanzhou immediately.

Looking at the ruined battlefield in front of him, Li Yi sighed. He originally wanted to see if he could find a new helper to help, but he didn't expect that he found another oil bottle, and the situation was even worse than Zhu Youjian's. .

"Old Zhao, do you think I will clear things up here next? Or should I continue to look for a new emperor?"

"Of course it's time to find a new emperor. It's just a matter of time."

"But what if I find another oil bottle next?"

Li Yi spread his hands and looked at Zhao Heng helplessly. If the next one he found was another suffering Han emperor, it was impossible for Li Yi not to save him. He couldn't do it while watching his compatriots suffer.

"It shouldn't be so unlucky, after all, there are not many emperors in trouble."

Speaking of this, Zhao Heng's tone was also full of uncertainty, because so far Li Yi has found five emperors, and three of them are the last emperors.
"Hey, forget it, let's wait until you take down Quanzhou, at least this side will be stabilized by then."

Without continuing to think about this question, Li Yi and Zhao Heng hooked their shoulders together, and began to discuss whether they should go back to Da Song to have a drink and relax together at night.
