Volume 10 Chapter 272

Chapter 272

According to Tang Yin's instructions, Anjian launched a secret investigation within the Zhen Army. There were not many people involved, less than 20 in total, but the scope was very wide, even including two corps commanders.

These two corps commanders were not rangers, but were bewitched by the rangers who had infiltrated the army and colluded with them secretly. Tang Yin did not want to make a big deal. All those who were secretly arrested were secretly executed by Anjian, and it was announced to the public that they were sent to carry out the mission.

After this brief storm, Tang Yin ordered the entire army to continue westward and march into Nanyue City.

Nanyue City, as Tang Yin knew in advance, is located in a unique location. The entire city is built on a slope, high in the west and low in the east. Entering the city from the east, it is a slope all the way, which makes it difficult to walk normally, and it is even more difficult to attack the city.

Tang Yin, Lingshuang, Yueze, and Li Xin, the four kings, approached Nanyue under the protection of their subordinates. They looked around for a long time, and they couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and were secretly shocked. Just looking at the terrain of Nanyue, it is a dangerous place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is said that there are more than 100,000 defenders in it. It is too difficult to capture this city by force.

Gulu! Yueze swallowed his saliva, turned his head to look at Tang Yin, and said: "Brother Tang, Nanyue is dangerous. How should we fight this battle?"

Tang Yin rolled his eyes and muttered in a low voice: "It seems that a strong attack is not going to work."

As he spoke, he said to Ah San Ah Si behind him: "Carry General Gu over. General Gu and Xiangshan County Chief Gong Song are also old acquaintances. Let him persuade him outside the city. Maybe there is still a possibility of success."

A San Ah Si both responded and told the guards of Feng Army to carry Gu Anmin over quickly.

Others didn't know that Gu Anmin was a fake, but Lingshuang, Yueze, and Li Xin knew it. They looked at each other, and Lingshuang couldn't help asking, "Brother Wang, will this... work?"

"Who knows!" Tang Yin shrugged and said with a wry smile, "Now we can only try our best."

In Gu Anmin's memory, Gong Song was a very good person, upright, honest, and full of justice. He also had a very good reputation in the local area. As for whether he could persuade him to surrender, Tang Yin had no idea at all.

After more than half an hour, 'Gu Anmin', who was lying on the soft couch, was quickly carried over by the Zhen army. On his left and right, there were also accompanying guards and many Zhen army generals.

Although the shadow clone and the real person were in sync, Tang Yin had to pretend to go forward and tell 'Gu Anmin' to go to Nanyue City and talk to Gong Song to persuade him to abandon the city and surrender.

Now 'Gu Anmin' was still seriously injured, lying weakly on the soft couch, his face pale and his expression listless. He did not resist Tang Yin's instructions, nodded slightly, and said in a hoarse voice: "I obey your order."

He agreed straightforwardly, but the generals on his left and right were shocked. Now they have turned to the coalition forces. For Gong Song and his people in Nanyue City, they are enemies. What if they rush to the front of the city and the other side shoots arrows? It's okay at ordinary times, but now the general is seriously injured and has no ability to protect himself. Even if the other side only sends a small soldier, they can easily kill the general.

"General, this... this is too dangerous?" The generals first looked at Tang Yin, then gathered around the soft couch and reminded him in a low voice.

"It's okay!" 'Gu Anmin' waved his hand with a smile, saying: "Although Lord Gong and I are not close friends, we are old acquaintances. He will not harm me."

"But..."

"No need to say more." 'Gu Anmin' said to the guards on his left and right: "Take a white flag and carry me to the front of Nanyue City!"

"Yes!" The guards did not dare to disobey the order, and they all agreed. Someone found a small white flag and raised it high, and the other guards lifted the soft bed and prepared to go to Nanyue City.

The generals were unwilling to watch him take risks alone, and they all said, "General, I will go with you!"

'Gu Anmin' shook his head and said, "I am here to reminisce with Lord Gong, not to fight. Why bring so many people? It will make the other side wary and difficult to talk. You can stay here and no one has to accompany me."

Seeing his firm attitude, the generals had no choice but to stand there, watching Gu Anmin and his group go farther and farther, approaching the front of Nanyue City little by little.

Since they were not many in number, only a dozen or so, and they came with white flags, the defenders of the city saw them, but did not shoot arrows to warn them. Only when they were less than fifty steps away from the city gate did they suddenly shoot an arrow from the top of the city and nail it to the ground in front of everyone. At the same time, someone in the city shouted loudly, "Sign up!"

"My general is General Gu Anmin. Let your county chief come and talk to my general!" The guards holding the white flag shouted back to the city.

Yo! It was Gu Anmin! The defenders in the city were shocked when they heard this.

They were certainly familiar with Gu Anmin. He was a general, and there was probably no one in the Zhen army who didn't know him. Moreover, when Gu Anmin led 400,000 troops to the expedition, he passed through Nanyue.

The defenders did not dare to neglect it and hurriedly sent people to report to the city.

Gu Anmin and his party waited outside the city for nearly an hour before the city gate slowly opened. Then, a group of people walked out from inside. The civil servant in the lead was not someone else, but Gong Song, the chief of Xiangshan County.

The defenders led by Gong Song walked until they were close to Gu Anmin and others before stopping.

Seeing 'Gu Anmin' who was lying on his side with a sickly look on his face, Gong Song was also startled. He was stunned for a moment, then he bowed his hands and said, "I don't know if the general is coming here, but I didn't welcome him from afar. Don't be surprised, general."

Gong Song's polite attitude reduced the tense atmosphere between the two parties. 'Gu Anmin' forced a smile, pointed to the wound on his chest, shook his head and laughed at himself: "Master Gong, I can't get up now to return the gift."

Why was Gu Anmin injured? Gong Song knew that he had defected to the coalition forces, but he did not know that he was injured. He asked: "The general's injury..."

"It's an assassin sent by the king to kill me." 'Gu Anmin' said with a bitter smile.

So that’s it! Gong Song nodded understandingly. In any case, Gu Anmin is the general of Zhenguo. He knows the situation, defense and strength of Zhenguo very well. His betrayal is undoubtedly a huge threat and hidden danger to Zhenguo. Your Majesty. It is understandable to send a killer to assassinate him, but the method is a bit despicable. He said with a smile: "The general is blessed with good fortune and is safe and sound. I am very happy and congratulated."

"I made a special trip to see Mr. Gong this time to persuade Mr. Gong to join me in defecting to the coalition forces." Without any unnecessary nonsense, he got straight to the point.

His straightforwardness shocked Gong Song. Gu Anmin was so brave. He was already so injured that he couldn't even stand up, yet he dared to go to his own land to persuade him to surrender. Didn't he want to live?

"You eat the emperor's salary and bear the emperor's worries. Now that the Allied Forces of the Six Nations have invaded our Zhen Kingdom, all the people with lofty ideals in the Zhen Kingdom should throw their heads, shed their blood, and fight bloody battles with the enemy. As a dignified general, General Gu should do the same." "However, General Gu has not only surrendered to the Six Nations Alliance, but also persuaded me to surrender. Doesn't he also want to trap me into disloyalty?" Gong Song sighed and said, "In my heart, General Gu is an upright and courageous person." Dare to be a hero, but what the general is doing now is so disappointing.”

'Gu Anmin' looked at Gong Song for a long time and suddenly asked: "Does Lord Gong think that I am greedy for life and afraid of death, so that's why I defected to the Six Nations Allied Forces?"

"Is not it?"

"If that's the case, do I still dare to drag my seriously injured body to see Master Gong alone?" 'Gu Anmin' said seriously: "If one country attacks our Zhengguo, it may be the fault of the other party, but the six countries have attacked our Zhenguo together. , are they all wrong? The people of one country may have been deceived by thieves, but the people of all the countries in the world are denouncing the king. Are they all deceived by thieves? It is really an act of rebellion for the king to become emperor. Is it anyone's fault that I have made people angry and resentful? I know that in your eyes, I am a traitor to Zhenguo, but from the beginning to the end, I have never betrayed Zhenguo. He is just a foolish king who brings endless disasters.”

His words were sonorous, powerful and upright, which moved Gong Song and the defenders behind him. Firstly, people were shocked by his unscrupulous curses against the king. Secondly, from the bottom of their hearts, people had to admit that his words were reasonable. The fact that Zhenguo is what it is today was entirely caused by the king. However, these words were only I can think about it in my heart, but no one dares to say it out loud.

Seeing that Gong Song and others were silent, 'Gu Anmin' pointed at the guards around him, then tugged at his clothes hard, and said: "Master Gong, you see clearly, my brothers and I are still pretending The uniform of Zhenjun and our flag are still Zhenjun, and this will never change.”

"However, General Gu wants to lead the six-nation coalition to attack the capital..."

"That's for the emperor to step down and establish the throne!"

Gong Song was moved in his heart and asked hurriedly: "I wonder who the Mingjun that General Gu refers to?"

"Of course he is my prince of Dazhen!" 'Gu Anmin' said seriously: "The prince is generous to others, broad-minded, and ambitious. I believe that now only the prince can save the Zhen Kingdom, and only by letting the prince inherit the throne can the emperor be calmed down. And the anger of all the countries in the world towards our Zhen Kingdom.”

These words were said to Gong Song's heart. It just so happens that if Zhenguo officials were divided into factions, then Gong Song would definitely be classified into the princeling faction.

He was Li Dan's confidant and was promoted by Li Dan. He applauded with both hands for Li Dan to succeed Li Hong. He took a deep breath, shook his head and said, "General Gu's intentions are good, but his method of doing things is really... not considerate!"
