my wife is mulan

At this moment, Pang Gandang secretly cried out, scolding Liu Gun for being cunning and vicious, but he had no reason to refuse. After all, he just made it clear that he would fight the army to the end. If he didn't set an example, how could he make others stand firm? What about belief?

He could only grit his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll go!"

The other two generals and an official immediately agreed: "We are willing to take our troops to attack the camp!"

"Hahaha, good, Major General and a few Zhongyong, let's go get ready, I will take everyone to see you off later!"

These people were also unambiguous and left immediately.

Half an hour later, Pang Gandang, two other generals, and an official gathered in the north gate with about [-] people from their headquarters.

Liu Gun came to see him off with other officials and generals. Dozens of soldiers came with drinks, and each soldier who participated in the raid was given a bowl of wine.

"Come on, all the soldiers, I wish you all the best, let's do it!"

"Done!"

Pang Gandang and a group of soldiers smashed their wine bowls, left the city quietly after the city gate was opened, and soon disappeared into the night.

Chapter 1051 Doubt

Dry army camp.

The lights in the camp were dim, patrols and guard posts were sparse, and only the commander's tent was brightly lit.

At this time, in the tent, Zhao Junsheng sat on the main seat, several accompanying officials and generals knelt and sat on the right side, and Pang Faqi and the Jiangxia officials brought by him stood in the middle of the tent.

Pang Faqi didn't just bring a few officials with him when he came to surrender. After he left the prefect's mansion, he persuaded more than 100 soldiers along the street to follow him out of the city.

Zhao Junsheng was very surprised that Pang Faqi suddenly brought several officials and more than 100 soldiers to surrender. This was completely beyond his expectation. Yes, he did send someone to persuade Pang Faqi to surrender, but that was just a routine procedure. He didn't count on it at all. He didn't expect that Pang Faqi really surrendered. Although he only brought more than 100 people, he didn't surrender the whole city. This also made him very puzzled and confused.

What made Pang Faqi choose to surrender?Zhao Junsheng didn't think that his charm was so great that Pang Faqi ran over and knelt down desperately. Could it be because of his mother and family members?This is possible. Although Pang Faqi was a loyal minister of the Southern Dynasty, he was also a filial son. It is reasonable to surrender in order to fulfill his filial piety.

But... What exactly happened in Jiangxia City before?Why did Pang Faqi only bring a few officials and more than 100 soldiers to surrender?What about Liu Gun?

Pang Faqi looked at Zhao Junsheng, his expression changed, he bowed and cupped his hands and said, "It turns out that the so-called General Niu Dali is just a cover, and the real leader of the army is actually the Emperor Daqian. Pang Faqi, the surrendered general, pays homage to His Majesty!" After speaking, he fell to his knees on the ground.

Several Jiangxia city officials behind were shocked. Seeing Pang Faqi kneel down, they quickly followed suit and shouted: "All blessings, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Junsheng was surprised, how did Pang Faqi know him?He said: "I don't remember when and where I met Pang Gong, how did Pang Gong recognize me?"

Pang Faqi replied: "Returning to Your Majesty, when the celebration of the founding of the country was held in the past, Pei Gongsongzhi, a senior official of the imperial court, went to Qianjing to watch the ceremony as an envoy, and after returning, he drew a portrait of His Majesty based on his memory. I watched the portrait once, so I wrote it down!"

"So that's how it is!" Zhao Junsheng suddenly realized, and asked, "Is Mr. Pei okay, is he in good health?"

"Return to Your Majesty, Pei Gong passed away the year before last!"

Zhao Junsheng was quite sorry, and returned to the topic, asking: "Pang Gong, everyone, get up first! I haven't given a formal answer to the terms discussed with Zhu Zhubo in the afternoon, and Pang Gong has the intention of surrendering. , Why did you come here suddenly? Could it be that something happened?"

Pang Fa got up and said: "It's just something happened! After Zhu Zhubo and Liu Gun returned to Jiangxia City, Pang called the officials and generals in the city to discuss the matter of surrender. Even if it is not counted, Gou Zi will strongly oppose it, and there is support from the military Sima Liu Gun. Some people want to follow Pang to surrender, but they are killed by Gou Zi and Liu Gon as soon as they stand up. It is better to have a firefight. It’s not that he has lost his conscience and dared not kill his father. Liu Gun also thought that he had never killed Pang and others in his colleagues for many years, so he let us go. If not, Pang would definitely bring all the soldiers and civilians in the city to welcome His Majesty The army has entered the city!"

While listening, Zhao Junsheng analyzed the truth and falsehood of these words. He was not so naive as to think that what Pang Faqi said was the truth.

However, since Pang Faqi has come to surrender, no matter whether this person is sincere or not, at least until there is no evidence to prove that this person is a false surrender, he cannot touch these people. With the amount of people, there will never be any people from the Southern Dynasty to surrender in the future. The resistance of Qianguo to attack the Southern Dynasty will increase exponentially, and the process of wanting to unify the world will definitely be postponed for many years.

Zhao Junsheng nodded, and told the eunuch Kang Yide next to him: "Pang Gong is here today, I'm happy, let someone prepare some food and wine, and I want to talk with Pang Gong and other princes at night by candlelight!"

"promise!"

"Come here, give the princes a seat!"

Pang Faqi and others hurriedly bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

When the food and wine were served, Zhao Junsheng, Pang Faqi and others pushed the cups to help them, chatting about the world while drinking.

Not long after, there was a lot of shouting and killing from afar, people roaring and horses neighing, and war drums rumbled.

Everyone in the handsome tent changed their expressions, especially Pang Faqi. He originally wanted to attack the army at night and agreed, but Xiao Bin's letter and oral letter abruptly disrupted his plan, so he had to make temporary adjustments. The attack must have been forced to stop, but now why are there shouts of killing coming from the south?Could it be that Liu Gun launched a night attack as usual after that incident?

But the sound seems to be far away from the Qianjun camp. Doesn't this mean that Jiangxia County was discovered on the way to the enemy camp?No, something is wrong!

Zhao Junsheng slapped the table and shouted: "Come here, go and investigate and see what happened!"

"No!" The little school outside the tent came in and agreed, then turned and ran out again.

Not long after, the small school outside the tent returned to the tent to report: "Your Majesty, a Song army came from the direction of Jiangxia City and attempted to attack our camp at night, but was discovered by our army scouts in advance. General Niu made countermeasures. This Song army is currently surrounded by our army, and General Niu is directing the soldiers to close the net!"

When Zhao Junsheng heard this, he looked at Pang Faqi with murderous eyes.

Pang Faqi was shocked immediately, he hurriedly got up and went to the middle to bow down and said: "Your Majesty, I never know about this matter, please be aware of it!"

Several other officials who surrendered also got up and bowed down one after another, saying: "Your Majesty, we all followed Prefect Pang to kill us. I didn't know they would lead troops to follow us!"

Zhao Junsheng pondered for a moment, and said, "Then let's wait here, and after the battle is over, we will capture some prisoners and ask them!"

Pang Faqi and the others retreated back to their original positions tremblingly, all of them were very upset, and at the same time, they also had this question in their hearts, what is going on?Are those people in the city crazy?

Half an hour later, Niu Dali walked in and clasped his fists to report: "Your Majesty, there are more than [-] Jiangxia defenders who sneaked over and wanted to attack our camp at night. Annihilation, killed more than [-] people and captured more than [-] people!"

"In addition, General Song, the leader of the army, has died in battle, and the minister has brought his body over. According to the identification of the captives, this person is called Pang Gandang, the eldest son of Pang Taishou!"

Zhao Junsheng glanced at Pang Faqi with a straight face, and raised his hand: "Bring it in!"

Niu vigorously turned his head and shouted, "Bring the man in!"

At this time, Pang Faqi's face was pale, and the few officials who followed him to surrender were also terrified. It was Pang Faqi's son who led the troops to sneak attack. Who can believe that this was not premeditated?Who can believe that this is not Pang Faqi and his son singing on stage?

The corpse was brought in, one arm was missing, and the broken arm was still wrapped in gauze. The person was already dead, with a few arrows stuck in his body, and there were still many wounds, and the armor was chopped to pieces.

Pang Faqi walked to the corpse with tears in his eyes, reached out his trembling hands to touch his son's face, and wiped off the dirt and blood on his face!

Zhao Junsheng asked: "Is this man your eldest son?"

Pang Faqi turned around slowly and replied, "Yes!"

"You came to surrender at the front foot, and your son led troops to attack the camp at the back. How can you tell me to believe you? How can you prove that this is not an agreement between your father and son, and let you come to attack the camp? I and our army pay attention, and then you The son leads the troops to follow and kill our army by surprise?"

Pang Fa turned ashamed, "As early as in the city, our father and son have turned against each other. Pang doesn't know what happened in the arena after we left, but Pang really can't prove his innocence!"

The other officials who came with Pang Faqi were scared to death. If Zhao Junsheng ordered Pang Faqi to be killed, they would not be able to survive. They all knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, expressing that they really did not know and were innocent. .

Zhao Junsheng thought for a long time, and decided that he would rather kill the wrong than let them go. After all, the behavior of Pang Faqi and his son was too suspicious. Even if they were killed, the people in the world would not be able to say anything. The trick was only seen through.

Zhao Junsheng was about to give an order, but a small school came in outside the tent and whispered something in Niu Dali's ear. After hearing this, Niu Dali turned around and clasped his fists at Zhao Junsheng, saying, "Your Majesty, among the captives is a Song general named Wei Wentong." , the official position is the owner of the sixth building in Jiangxia County. Among the 300 Song troops who attacked, [-] people were his subordinates. General Hao Lianshan and the others are people who advocate sticking to the end, so Liu Gun sent them to attack the camp to set an example for other officials and soldiers in the city. If they succeed, they will also strengthen the confidence of others. If they fail... ... the results speak for themselves!"

"Murder with a knife in order to eliminate dissidents?" Zhao Junsheng frowned.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out! After interrogating many captives, they all said that the order to attack our camp at night was decided by Liu Gun temporarily. Judging from the current situation, there is no evidence to prove that this matter was discussed in advance by Pang Faqi and his son. OK!"
