every spring [comprehensive]

Jianning and Zhou Peigong came to the city on two horses, and someone asked loudly, "Who is it?"

Zhou Peigong used his own surname to explain that he came to see Wang Fuchen in person.

There was a commotion among the defenders in the city, and they hated the army guarding outside the city and bombarded them. It can be said that they were both afraid and fearful, but the people in the city did not dare to take command, and rushed to the city to inform Wang Fuchen.

At this time, another horse came to the city from the opposite direction, and shouted without hesitation: "I am the letter of Pingnan Wang Shangzhi, go and report to Wang Junmen!"

The soldiers in the city shouted again: "Please wait a moment, I will report to the commander-in-chief right away."

Only then did Shang Zhixin look at the two people on the opposite side, he was taken aback when he saw this, he naturally didn’t recognize Zhou Peigong, but he had seen Jianning before, “Isn’t this the third princess, you are not pampered in the palace, run here What did you come to the desolate land for?"

As the hereditary Pingnan King, Shang Zhixin had naturally been to the capital, so it was impossible not to recognize Jianning, a celebrity in the capital. Even if she didn't go out of the palace often, she had to go to her aunt's wedding.His third younger brother, Shang Zhili, married Jianning's aunt, Princess Shuzhe.

Zhou Peigong couldn't understand his arrogance, and said: "San Gege also wants to be pampered and pampered in the capital, but there are rioting officials and thieves everywhere, causing no peace in the country. Exterminate the rebellious officials and thieves, so that the world will be peaceful."

Shang Zhixin said angrily: "Who are you to dare to talk to me like that?"

Zhou Peigong said: "Minister of the Ministry of War, I ordered Fuyuan General Zhou Peigong."

Shang Zhixin drew out his saber with a swipe, and was about to swing it over: "Okay, it turned out to be you a bastard, today I will kill you!"

There was only a clang, the sound of gold and stone colliding.Shang Zhixin felt his mouth go numb, his long sword had already been knocked to the ground, and he looked at the person who shot him in disbelief: "Is it you?"

Jianning said: "King Pingnan, if the discussion ends with Princess Shuzhe, I have to call you uncle. Now that we have arrived at the city, it seems that we all want to meet the Wang Fuchen, so we will go to the master to express our opinions." , don’t show off your prestige in private.”

Shang Zhixin couldn't think of it, but unfortunately his hands were numb from the shaking for a long time and couldn't be relieved, and the sword was knocked out by her, so he naturally lost face: "Okay, you guys have kindness!"

Only then did the city gate behind him slowly open, and a general came out with a line of sergeants armed with knives and guns, "Several, the general invites you!"

The central gate of Wang Fuchen's Governor Xingyuan was opened, and two rows of personal soldiers lined up in an orderly manner on both sides of the corridor.Dozens of guards from the Chinese army, holding gleaming machetes, formed a knife alley. In the courtyard in front of the main hall, there was a large iron pot.

The flames were raging under the pot, and the oil in the pot was boiling.The firewood smoke and oil fume mixed together, making a well-established courtyard smoky and eerie.

Shang Zhixin looked at the scene with a smile: "Princess, General Zhou, who do you think Wang Fuchen wants to cook? It can't be me! I just arrived, it's not like you bombarded someone's hometown." , did not move forward, just stood behind and watched the excitement.

Zhou Peigong looked at this pretentious pomp, he glanced at Jianning, and saw her nodded slightly visibly.He walked through the forest of swords and swords with steady square steps in full clothes, and walked boldly to the main hall.Jianning followed him a step, also very calm, not only did she look not worried about her own safety, but she was also ready to save Zhou Peigong from the knife bush at any time.

Shang Zhixin saw that the two of them walked past the knife cluster without saying a word, but he hesitated a little. There are so many shining big knives, just looking at them will seep into people. With one slip, it is impossible to survive under these hundreds of sharp weapons.

Fortunately, Wang Fuchen's set was for Zhou Peigong to see, so it was fine when he saw Shang Zhixin not daring to go this way.

Only then did Shang Zhixin walk in with a smile. When they met, they greeted each other warmly and informally: "Ah, Brother Fuchen, it's been a long time since I've seen you for a long time. How are you old friends! After a few years of separation, Brother Fuchen is still so majestic and majestic. , Lie Lie Ying Feng, really admirable!"

Wang Fuchen and his generals were not as enthusiastic as him, but stared straight at Zhou Peigong. Wang Fuchen's eyes were bloodshot: "You are the commander of Fuyuan Army, Zhou Peigong?"

Zhou Peigong bowed his hands and said: "General Wang, it is my servant, why is General Wang dressed in plain clothes?"

His unceremonious attitude towards Wang Fuchen had long been expected. After all, it was his army that suppressed and bombarded them so much that they couldn't hold their heads up, and there were heavy casualties.Before Zhou Peigong came here, he knew that this was a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, and it was easy to get in and hard to get out.

Jianning just followed behind him, pretending to be an attendant. The two had already discussed before coming, and they didn't intend to reveal her identity until it was absolutely necessary.I just didn't expect to meet Shang Zhixin outside the city.

Wang Fuchen gritted his teeth and said, "My son Wang Jizhen was bombarded to death by you in Huling yesterday. Why do you think I wear plain clothes?"

Zhou Peigong was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect this, and said slowly: "My condolences."

Jianning frowned slightly. Wang Jizhen died in Huling, and now Wang Fuchen hated them even more. No wonder there was such a big battle when they entered the door. If she had known this earlier, she would have reconsidered Zhou Peigong's behavior of trying to persuade him to surrender. But it's too late to say anything now, and the soldiers can only come and play by ear.

Shang Zhixin's eyes turned, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a smile imperceptibly, and he said with righteous indignation: "My nephew died at the hands of this traitor! Today, I will kill the enemy together with my brother Fuchen!"

He put his hand on the saber but didn't pull it out in a hurry. Sure enough, the other soldiers in the hall shared the same hatred against Zhou Peigong, and they drew out their swords with a few swishes, as if they wanted to kill him.

Zhou Peigong, on the other hand, looked as steady as Mount Tai, and continued to sit upright and drink tea.

Seeing that he was so calm, Wang Fuchen couldn't help but think highly of him.Wang Fuchen had already accepted the fact of the loss of his son, so he was not in a hurry to deal with Zhou Peigong. He raised his hand and told everyone to back off first, but asked Shang Zhixin, "I haven't asked King Pingnan why you came to me?"

Seeing that his provocation didn't kill the opponent immediately, Shang Zhixin felt a little pity, but he also knew clearly that with Wang Fuchen's heart, he would never let the murder of his son and enemy go.Said: "Brother Fuchen, I, King Pingnan, wiped out [-] court officers and soldiers in Guangzhou, and captured more than [-] court officials above the fifth rank. The whole province of Guangdong is under my control! More than ten years ago, I I heard that the army of the Qing court was coming to besiege Pingliang City, so I immediately led a [-]-strong army to come to the rescue in the starry night! I plan to hunt in Pingliang with my ministers and brothers, to boost the prestige of the Han family and destroy the spirit of the barbarians! Now my army They are currently stationed eighty li away from the south of the city. As long as I give an order, Brother Fuchen joins forces with me and echoes from a distance, and the siege of Pingliang can be solved immediately! Wu Sangui captured the capital before, and this world is ours!"

Wang Fuchen listened to his words, thought about the authenticity of it, and thought that if what he said was true, he could consider cooperating with him, and first solve the Pingliang predicament.

It's a pity that he didn't think long before Zhou Peigong poured cold water on him. Zhou Peigong sneered and said, "Pingnan King, you're a big braggart. Who doesn't know that you have been beaten to the ground by the imperial army, and you have been defeated consecutively?" , you have less than [-] soldiers in Guangzhou province. How can there be [-] troops to help General Wang! Besides, can you arrive from Guangzhou to Xiliang in more than ten days? After that, you are also exhausted and vulnerable. You are obviously a defeated soldier, and you came to seek refuge alone, so why bother to speak so nicely!"

Shang Zhixin, who was exposed, almost dropped his glass, "You are talking nonsense! My army is just outside the city!"

Zhou Peigong said: "I'm talking nonsense? There are imperial garrisons within a radius of three hundred miles. How come we don't know when you were stationed within eighty miles? Could it be that you are heavenly soldiers and generals who flew here with wings ?”

"Puchi" chuckled, Jianning couldn't hold back, and was amused by Zhou Peigong's poisonous tongue.He gave Zhou Peigong an apologetic look when he heard the sound, and Jianning restrained his smile again, and his face returned to seriousness. She wanted to see what decision Wang Fuchen, who was befriended by Kangxi in many ways, was going to do for her own selfishness. Fight to the end, or make a wise choice.

Shang Zhixin was hurt internally by the bullying, he glared at Zhou Peigong, wishing he could eat him right away.

Zhou Peigong said to Wang Fuchen again: "General Wang, don't you see the banner of our Chinese army? Since this army is the Fuyuan Army, it is natural to focus on 'Fu'. If General Wang can abandon his troops to make peace and return to the court, he can still enter Nobles and Marquises. When the country is employing people, please don't make mistakes. The emperor once said in front of me, "As long as Wang Fuchen is willing to come back, I will not dismiss or dismiss him. I will still use him." The emperor exchanged his heart Heart. He is looking forward to you day and night!"

Zhou Pei just stared at Wang Fuchen, he has always been good at observing words and expressions.When he said the few words the emperor said, Wang Fuchen was obviously not as calm as he showed.

So Zhou Peigong continued his efforts and said: "Wu Sangui's soldiers and horses have been besieged in Yuezhou by the heavy troops of the court, and the enemy is only a snap away. But Geng Jingzhong, Shang Zhixin, they have already been defeated. General, although you have left the court, but You didn't raise your troops to join the rebellion, which shows that your conscience is not lost, and you are a person who understands righteousness. You don't want to see the scene of corpses strewn across the banks of the Jingshui River, and blood flowing like a river!"

How could Wang Fuchen not know about this situation? Wu Sangui Shangzhi believed that they had been jumping for several years, but they had already stagnated in the past few years, and they hadn't seen the slightest progress.But Emperor Kangxi was an enemy of the whole country, with a large number of soldiers and talents.Even when there is not a single soldier or horse, relying on the servants of the princes and ministers in the capital can form an army of tens of thousands.When he raised the flag of rebellion in response to Wu Sangui, he regretted it a long time ago.It's just that he didn't dare to offend Wu Sangui before, and he was circling between Kangxi and Wu Sangui.

Zhou Peigong seemed to have seen through his thoughts: "To tell you the truth, the general's three hundred red cannons are now ready to be launched outside Huling. You must have known the scene of Huling and the south of the city yesterday. An order from outside the city is needed, and Pingliang City will be a piece of scorched earth. For the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Pingliang City and tens of thousands of soldiers under your command, what is General Wang still obsessed with?

What Wang Fuchen thought in his mind was: they just lost the battle, if they surrendered, what would happen? Kangxi would really accept him without any grievances. This rebel is also a defeated general. Can the national law tolerate him?And at this time, he had to think about the soldiers, not to mention that his son was gone... He even thought about giving up on himself, using the last soldiers to fight the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty to the death and burn them all.

Wang Fuchen was still hesitating, but Shang Zhixin became angry from embarrassment. He couldn't bear it and drew his sword out of its sheath: "Brother Fuchen's son died under his cannon fire. You are not ashamed, but I will kill him!"

A trace of struggle flashed in Wang Fuchen's eyes. If he hadn't been indecisive and made a wrong decision, he wouldn't have turned a good hand into a bad one, and ended up in a dilemma.So he slowed down a bit, and when he stood up to stop, Shang Zhixin's sword had already stabbed forward: "Slow down!"

Seeing that the rescue was too late, Zhou Peigong was about to be stabbed right through!At this time, Wang Fuchen realized that he regretted it, and it was too late. If the imperial envoy, General He Da, died in his governor's mansion, his retreat would be completely cut off. Even if he surrendered, the imperial court would not let him go. Wang Fuchen Even closed his eyes.

The sound of swords piercing through flesh and blood sounded. Wang Fuchen thought that Shang Zhixin, who had lived his life as a soldier, had stabbed Zhou Peigong to death, but he didn't expect the soldiers on the side to make exclamations. He fixed his eyes and saw a completely unexpected scene. He saw Zhou Peigong behind him The thin follower pierced Shang Zhixin's chest with a sword.

Jianning said to Shang Zhixin, who couldn't believe it but was speechless: "Everything must never be done again. You have already slashed our general three times!" She returned the sword without blinking. sheath.

Seeing that Zhou Peigong was not dead, Wang Fuchen breathed a sigh of relief, but still glared at Jianning: "How dare you dare to kill someone in my governor's mansion!"

Jianning ignored his accusation, but said, "If I'm not mistaken, the gun hanging on General Wang's table was brought out from the palace, right?"

Wang Fuchen asked in surprise, "How do you know?"

Jianning said: "The pair of leopard-tailed guns left by the late emperor are used by the current emperor for self-defense. The emperor cherishes them very much. Every time he goes out to hunt, he puts them in front of the horse. Even the prince Gege has been coveting for a long time, and he never lets go. He received it that day. You Wang Fuchen, he cut his love and gave you one directly. He said that you are the minister of the humerus that the late emperor favored, and that you are not worthy of being reused by the late emperor, so he gave you a leopard tail spear. Seeing that spear is like I saw the current emperor."

Wang Fuchen was puzzled and said, "Who the hell are you? How did you know this?"

This gun has always been placed where he can see it, and even his family members only know that it is his treasure, and he has never told anyone about the origin of this gun.Because he set up the rebellion flag in Wu Sangui, when he planned to watch the fire from the other side, he was ashamed of the court and the emperor. How could he have the face to let people know that he would always bring the things bestowed by the emperor with him.

Jianning said neither humble nor overbearing: "Even if I am an ordinary unknown soldier, I am qualified to say these words. If you want to know, I am a Chinese army enlisted by the emperor." Saying this is equivalent to revealing my identity.

But Wang Fucheng didn't react immediately, the sergeant next to him hurriedly whispered something in his ear, and Wang Fuchen suddenly realized.

He looked at Jianning with complicated eyes, got up and walked over, and made a bow to Jianning, "I don't know if it is Her Royal Highness who is here, please forgive me for my previous offense of disrespect." His attitude became different, with some Be careful.

Seeing that his attitude had changed after Shang Zhixin's death, Jianning and Zhou Peigong looked at each other and immediately saw that this was an opportunity.

Jianning continued to act like a princess of the Celestial Dynasty and angrily said: "The emperor is grateful to you, and you should know how to repay him with kindness and virtue! You accused Zhou Peigong of blowing up your son, do you think The person who kills your beloved son should go up the mountain of swords and down the frying pan, in my opinion, you killed your son yourself, so you can jump into the frying pan by yourself!"

Wang Fuchen couldn't believe it: "What? I killed Jizhen?" His eyes clearly showed disapproval, and he thought she was crazy.

Jian Ning said: "Your son Wang Jizhen was originally in the capital to bathe in the holy grace, and the extremely personable minister enjoyed the glory and wealth. He had a bright future, but you just wanted to betray his faith, rebel against the trend, and push him to the guillotine! The emperor is kind-hearted, This situation did not kill him, but lowered the price to be kind and let you father and son get together. But you dragged him into the rebel army and made him fall into the quagmire! You know that the army is going to attack Huling and must take Huling Under such circumstances, you sent him to Huling to die, and you sat safely in the city! A father like you never considered his son’s feelings. He was not killed by you, but also buried by you! If you have a soul, you can’t blame others, only you, how dare you say that you didn’t kill him?”

After asking a few words, Wang Fuchen was speechless and speechless.In the huge governor's court, a needle could be heard falling.

Jianning continued: "Nowadays, the sage loves the people like a son, but you personally buried your own son. You Wang Fuchen separatist Pingliang and acted as a dominator. You ignored the sufferings of the people and drove tens of thousands of tired soldiers away from home. , Selling civilian girls to pay for the army, with a heart and lungs like yours, you have the courage to overlord, and it is hard to escape the end of Wujiang's suicide!"

This righteous and stern reprimand made Wang Fuchen feel ashamed and frightened, and the fierce arrogance just now disappeared suddenly.

Every time she said a word, Wang Fuchen took a step back, as if he had the urge to run away, Jianning's last words fell, and he finally couldn't help but slumped down on a chair.I can no longer speak.

Everyone present was overwhelmed by Jianning's aura!If you want to help Wang Fuchen, you don't know how to refute, this is the power of the princess of the Celestial Dynasty!

Zhou Peigong struck while the iron was hot and said: "General Wang, don't hesitate! At present, the only way out for you, your officers and soldiers and the people is to leave the city and surrender. It is useless to resist stubbornly. It is out of the emperor's love for you and his love for the people and soldiers. The princess and I came here to persuade you because of our benevolence and love for the people, otherwise this war would have ended long ago."

At this moment, a flame flashed from the direction of Hudun outside the city.A thunderous rumble sounded across the sky and landed in the backyard of the warlord's camp.The violent explosion shook the beams and columns of the hall to make crackling noises.

Everyone at the scene turned pale and trembled all over. Wang Fuchen pushed up his seat and ran to Jianning Zhou Peigong and knelt down: "Thank you princess for waking me up, and thank you Mr. Zhou for teaching me. .I, I deserve death..."

The afterglow of the setting sun lazily shines on the city of Pingliang.Liupan Mountain is like a gray and gloomy python, winding and undulating, lying at the junction of heaven and earth in the distance.The rushing and noisy Jingshui nourished the people of Pingliang just as it did thousands of years ago.

After Zhou Peigong broke into the governor's mansion in person regardless of the danger, Wang Fuchen finally found his way back, and a great battle disappeared, at least tens of thousands of casualties were reduced.Such achievements are enough to go down in the annals of history.Fuyuan Jun held his head high and his chest high, excited and full of air, as if he was the one who scolded Wang Fuchen for not being able to lift his head.

Four gates of Pingliang City were opened, one street and two alleys were filled with incense cases, and the people of the whole city flocked to the streets, cheering for finally escaping the disaster of being trapped in the city.Zhou Peigong and Jianning rode their horses in front, Wang Fuchen and his generals walked behind with bare upper body and tied thorns, and the deputy general Tu Hai led the army to meet them outside the city.

Wang Fuchen's begging bill, General Chen, and the good news of the great victory in Gansu and Shanxi were delivered to the capital as soon as possible in an expedited manner of six hundred miles. As for how to deal with him, he naturally had to follow the emperor's order in the capital.But the tens of thousands of troops under him can be directly incorporated.

Tuhai's dark face is full of smiles, Jianning has never seen him so happy since he met him when he was three years old!

Tu Hai cupped his hands: "Congratulations to General Zhou, you have made another great contribution to the Qing Dynasty! To prevent us from killing each other and losing troops, Tu Hai is here to represent the soldiers under him, thank you!"

Zhou Peigong smiled wryly and said: "This time I said that I went to the city to persuade him to surrender, but in fact it was all thanks to Mr. Joining the Army. If it weren't for her, Zhou Peigong would have died in that cave of dragons and tigers, I don't know how many times!"

Tu Hai didn't know why, but he also knew that since they entered Wang Fuchen's territory, things would not go smoothly, and there might be many dangers during this period.

Jian Ning said plainly: "Don't worry about it, General. If it wasn't for your kindness and power, your kindness to surrender, and my power and threat, it wouldn't be so smooth."

Zhou Peigong said: "In short, I wrote down every word and sentence in the governor's mansion today in detail and reported it to the emperor. Wang Fuchen returned and surrendered. The meritorious service of joining the army is indispensable! I, Zhou Peigong, owe San Gege a few more lives. I don’t know when it will be paid off.”

As soon as Jianning heard that he was about to say these harsh words again, he quickly waved his hands and said, "Forget it, the general can write whatever he likes. Military achievements are of no use to me. I just do what I should do."

Jianning didn't need to take care of reorganizing the surrendering army and pacifying the civilians in the city, so she went to rest by herself.

After Zhou Peigong was overjoyed, he remembered to ask Tuhai: "Brother Tuhai, that shot of yours saved our lives! How did you achieve such a precise strike?!"

Tu Hai said shamelessly: "This is me. Before Mr. Joining the Army left, someone had placed the cannon, and adjusted the angle and range of the cannon. She left a message saying, if you don't see you come out for half an hour, you will be killed." Let people directly bombard them! I hesitated again and again, because I was afraid that this bullet would not only bring down Wang Fuchen, but if it hurts both of you, I would not be able to explain to the emperor if any of you were injured!"

Zhou Peigong didn't know that when they were surrounded by dangers in the city, Tuhai outside the city felt like ants in a hot pot, frying and roasting, and did countless psychological constructions before they were let out.

Zhou Peigong said thoughtfully, "So that's how it is!"
