Chapter 215 Conditional surrender
Feng Congwen and Yang Lixin stayed in Danzhou City for ten days.
In these ten days, the officer named Chen Jianren who took them across the river gathered more than a thousand defeated soldiers who had escaped from Taiyuan City.
There are the green forest heroes who were originally in Taiyuan City, and there are also the Hedong Allied Forces.
And Chen Jianren unceremoniously threw these people to Feng Congwen and Yang Lixin, asking them to reorganize and take care of these people, and then disappeared without a trace.
There was enough food and grass left for them in Danzhou City.
But this embarrassed Feng Congwen and Yang Lixin.
You said that when we were escaping, we had no choice but to work together, but now that we are safe, how can the two groups still live in peace!
He is very restrained without fighting.
Especially Feng Congwen and those Hedong coalition forces, they are He Zudao's enemies, but now they eat and drink He Zudao's food, and they feel awkward no matter what they think.
But I don’t dare to leave at will.
Not to mention that Yang Lixin and his gang are still staring at them, but once they leave Danzhou City, what will happen if He Zudao turns against them and refuses to recognize them?
Now they don’t have enough manpower to squeeze people’s teeth.
The team of less than 2,000 people naturally divided into two groups, living in Danyang City, not knowing where they would go next.
Ten days later, Chen Jianren finally appeared in front of the two of them again.
"The general is back and wants to see you!" Chen Jianren said.
Yang Lixin was overjoyed. For him, He Zudao was his idol, not to mention that He Zudao saved his life in the end.
But for Feng Congwen, this is not just a judgment. What is coming will always come, and there is no way to hide. He Zudao, Feng Congwen, had no choice but to deal with him, the remnant of the Hedong family.
Now let alone He Zudao, even Yang Lixin in front of him was no match for him in a single fight.
He Zudao was eating under a peach blossom tree.
There were seven or eight steamed buns, a large bowl of millet porridge, and salty vegetables cut into shreds in the bamboo basket. He Zudao ate it with his head down and it was extremely sweet.
What shocked the two of them was that He Zudao was actually wearing linen clothes, a hemp rope around his waist, and a filial piety handkerchief on his head.
Is there a death in the family?
Seeing the two people coming in, He Zudao threw the last remaining bits in his hand into his mouth, actually licked his fingers, and then drank the rest of the millet porridge in one breath, and then pointed Pointing to the stone stool in front of him, he said: "Sit!"
The two sat down a little uneasily. He Zudao then pointed to his head and said: "I just received the news today that my father died. ”
Why did the general die in pain?
This is not a small matter for Da Qin or Chu State.
Da Qin doesn’t know what his attitude is,
but Chu State must be celebrating now.
He Qigui has been guarding southern Xinjiang for more than 20 years. Except for the last big defeat, he has fought many battles with the Chu State in the past 20 years, with more wins and fewer losses.
In order to defend Xiangcheng in Chu State, many famous generals died at the hands of He Qiku over the years.
"Killed by the imperial court?" Yang Lixin said angrily: "General, one day, we will avenge the old general!"
He Zudao smiled: "It is considered that he has died, the imperial court still has It’s honorable to bury him in glory!”
“Shameless!” Yang Lixin scolded.
"But during one of my father's funerals, the imperial court officially announced to the world that I am a rebel!" He Zudao turned to look at He Mu Congwen: "Master Feng, you also have to wear mourning. The Dang and Feng family are all dead, and they say it was me and He who killed them! Ha, that’s right, I killed all the Liu family in Jinyang, and then killed all the Wang family in Taiyuan, and then went to Shangdang and killed all your Feng family. That’s what it should be.”
Feng Congwen's expression changed drastically, and his whole body started to tremble.
Although he had made such preparations in his heart, when the bad news actually came, Feng Congwen still overestimated his psychological endurance.
I really wanted to resist losing my composure in front of He Zudao, but in the end the tears still flowed.
Yang Lixin on the side gave him a sympathetic look. Although we were enemies before, we can't be called friends now, but it is an understatement to say that they are all dead. For a big family like the Feng family, then That's thousands of people.
He Zudao did not say any words of comfort. Instead, he stood up and walked to the side.
Yang Lixin quickly followed. "General, my condolences are with you!" he whispered.
He Zudao shook his head: "I have nothing to be sad about. When I was recruiting troops in Nanzhen, I knew that such a day would come. When I left Chang'an, I could have I went to meet the old man, but I didn’t go in the end because I was afraid that I would go and my heart softened.”
Yang Lixin shuddered.
"Does God know what I have been doing these past ten years?" He Zudao asked.
Yang Lixin shook his head.
"I laid a trap over there in Hexi for the imperial army. If they are greedy and dare to cross the river to chase me, I will give them a surprise!" He Zudao He said very regretfully: "But the person in charge of the other party is very careful. Apart from sending a few small teams to test the waters, the large army has not even seen a shadow."
"If we can deal with them , then we can avenge Brother Jiang and the others!" Yang Lixin said regretfully.
"Yang Lixin, Jiang Shu is dead, what are you going to do in the future?"
"If I have anything to think about, of course I will follow the general! The general asked me to go east, I will never go west, let me beat the dog, I will never catch the chicken!”
He Zudao laughed, reached out and patted the other party on the shoulder: "Okay, very good, we have a lot to do next in Hexi. I am very happy to have a capable person like you joining us."
Yang Lixin turned to look. He glanced at Feng Congwen behind him: "General, what should I do with that guy? When I was fleeing, I invited him to join my gang, but he refused and wanted to go to his relatives!"
He Zudao turned around and walked to Feng Congwen: "What do you want to do in the future? Go to seek refuge with relatives? It doesn't matter. Just say it. If you want to leave, I won't stop you. Because you are now the best witness that I didn't kill all the Feng family."
" Of course you didn't kill my family, but the army that besieged Taiyuan couldn't reach Shangdang so quickly. Who killed my family?"
"Hei Bingtai!" He Zudao sat down. Said: "Zhang Quanyi is in charge of the operation at Heibingtai. This operation must have been planned for a long time. When you aristocratic families came out to surround me and kill me, they took advantage of the opportunity and effortlessly killed me." They have cleaned up your family. Not only your family, the Hedong family has been cleaned up by them this time.”
Feng Congwen's fists clenched loudly.
"Want to take revenge? I advise you to stop thinking about it first! You are alone now, with a mere seventh-grade Xuanyuan cultivation level, and to Hei Bingtai, you are just a little ant. Don't you It's okay to show up. Once you show up, Hei Bingtai will be attracted immediately. They will not keep you alive. This time, Kou Zhong even paid the money to invite Yiming, who is not the opposite of him, which shows how determined he is. , how can we allow you, a big loophole, to still be alive?”
Yang Lixin on the other side shuddered: “General, is this Yi Ming a Taoist holding a Buddha dust, or the one who killed him?”
He Zudao nodded: "Yiming and Kou Zhong have always been at odds with each other. For the benefit of the sect, this old man tricked the emperor into making pills and taking pills, which has always been tabooed by Kou Zhong."
"General, he won't come here to kill him, right?" Yang Lixin said.
"If he really dares to come, I wouldn't mind killing an innate for fun." Looking at Yang Lixin's disbelieving eyes, He Zhongdao laughed loudly: "It's just an innate, trapped in the formation of the army, he is still a Die."
Feng Congwen took a deep breath, "General, I won't leave. From now on, I will follow you!"
He Zudao looked at Feng Congwen with a half-smile. : "Do you know what I will do next?"
"Yes!" Feng Congwen nodded and said, "I think we are going to raid Hexi again!"
He Zudao nodded: "Hexi is a It's a great place, but there are not as many wealthy families as in Hedong, and there are more muddy legs here. But this is just what I want. I have gained enough wealth from the Liu family and the Wang family. Next, let's stay here first. Recruit and train soldiers, and take care of some of the guys close to us first.”
"Will the imperial court conquer Hexi?"
"If there are few people coming, I will eat them. If there are many people coming, I will run away!" He Zudao smiled and said, "But I estimate that Kou Zhong will be here in a short time. They will not provoke me. To deal with me, they have to surprise me like they planned in Hedong. The two sides will fight against each other, and the generals will take care of the few trash in the court's hands. It's really an easy thing for them. That's killing me."
Looking at the arrogant He Zudao, Feng Congwen had to admit that the guy in front of him was really deadly to him at this time. attraction.
"I'm here to help you!" Feng Congwen said: "I believe you are lacking people like me. I am much stronger than this stupid big guy!"
Yang Lixin was furious: "Feng, are you better than me? Come on, let's have a fight and see how I deal with you!"
Feng Congwen ignored Yang Lixin and turned to look at He Zudao.
He Zudao smiled slightly, "I will trust this silly guy more, but I will only trust you with reservations!"
Hearing this, Yang Lixin felt proud again, He raised his chin provocatively at Feng Congwen.
"I know." Feng Congwen nodded and said: "I will help you wholeheartedly now, and when I want to leave, I will make it clear to you before I leave."
"You Don’t you think I can accomplish great things?” He Zudao asked coldly.
"You can't achieve anything big with the way you are doing now!" Feng Congwen said: "As you said, if I show up now, I will probably die. So I am taking care of you, you protect my life, and I will help you do things. If I have If you find a way to save your life, I will leave!"
"Okay, deal, let's break up!"
