Chapter 565 Chapter 0566 defection

   There are two Decembers in the fifth year of Jianxing, which are called leap months.

  When it was about to enter the leap month, there was a small boat by the Han River in Nanxiang, and the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty was standing on the bank, seeing people off.

  Zhuge Liang's face was dignified, but also somewhat sad, "Zi Jin, it's dangerous to go here, be careful."

  The man's expression was indifferent, and he smiled slightly when he heard the words, "I have no great skills, but I have been treated favorably by the late emperor and the prime minister. I have been terrified all the time. Now that I can do my little for the revival of the great man, how can I have greed for life?"

"Zijin, please don't say that. When you arrive in Weijing, I only hope that you can be careful to keep a useful body. When you and I are reunited, we can laugh together, celebrate the revival of the Han Dynasty, and congratulate ourselves on our future." Wouldn’t it be wonderful to wish to be rewarded?”

   Zhuge Liang encouraged.

  Although he knew that his life and death on this trip were unpredictable, and what the prime minister said was too long ago, Guo Mo still couldn't help showing his fascination, as if he saw the grand occasion of the emperor returning to the old capital.

   "If I can see that day, I will try my best to violate the prohibition of alcohol, and I will be drunk for three days."

  Zhuge Liang also smiled, and said with emotion, "At that time, how can there be any prohibition on alcohol? You just drink, and I will pour the wine for you."

   "Okay! The prime minister's words, Mo has already written down." Guo Mo cheered up, "I just hope that the prime minister will not forget today's words."

   "I will never forget it!"

   Zhuge Liang looked determined.

  Guo Mo laughed, turned around and walked onto the boat, clasped his fists at the Prime Minister, and said, "It's getting late, so I'm leaving now, Prime Minister, we will meet later!"

   "Treasure!" Zhuge Liang bowed deeply, "If the great man can be revived, Zijin will make great contributions. On behalf of the emperor, Liang thanked Zijin for giving up his life for righteousness."

   "A man of lofty ideals in the Han Dynasty should be like this!" Guo Mo laughed, turned around, let out a long howl at the Han River, and then sighed again, "The shadow of the peach blossom falls into the sword, and the tide of the blue sea presses the jade flute."

   "A certain regret is that I didn't see with my own eyes the beauty of the fallen flower sword dancing amidst the flying peach blossoms, and what a fairy song the blue sea tide played by the jade flute."

Zhuge Liang laughed, and said loudly to Guo Mo from a distance, "Don't worry, Zijin, I dare not talk about the Luoying Shenjian, but I'm still somewhat sure that I can find the blue sea tide song, just wait for Zijin to be safe." On the day of return, I will definitely offer it with both hands!"

   "Oh? The Prime Minister knows who Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng is?"

  The prime minister of Han Dynasty smiled mysteriously.

   "Ah Choo! Ah Choo!"

  Feng Yonglian, who led the army past the Hanshou Pass, sneezed a few times, wrapped his down jacket tightly, and muttered, "Why are you so fat? You can't be so unlucky and catch a cold, right? This valley isn't too cold."

  In the last month of the fifth year of Jianxing, the Prime Minister of the Great Han Dynasty was in Hanzhong to prepare his troops and prepare for the Northern Expedition at any time.

   During Wu Huangwu's six years and a whole year, bandits and water bandits became more and more rampant in the Wuchang area.

  Wuchang Guard General Han Zong repeatedly smashed the bandits, but he still couldn't stop them. The disaster of bandits is getting worse.

   Since the beginning of the cold winter, the Jianghuai area has been frozen again.

  The weather is cold, and the business travelers on the road are almost extinct, and the banditry has only subsided a little.

  Han Zong put up a memorial, saying that the weather was too cold and the soldiers lacked warm clothes. King Sun Quan of Wu sent a batch of wool cloth to the soldiers in Wuchang.

  December, in a Zhuangzi outside Wuchang City, suddenly there was a dog barking, and then someone shouted: "Thief!"

  Before the sound fell, the person who made the sound fell down, covering his neck with his hands, and staring straight at the sky.

   A group of soldiers in thick sweaters, armed with weapons, broke into Zhuangzi and began to slaughter the village without any explanation.

  The dilapidated door panel of the thatched house could not block the foot of the bandit soldiers at all. There was only a "pound" sound, and the people in the house screamed, grabbed the straw to cover themselves, and hid in the corner trembling.

  The man in the house held a wooden stick, and forced himself to smile at the bandit soldiers who came in, "My good man, there is nothing at home..."

  The bandit soldier held a knife in his hand, and a thread of blood slid down the tip of the knife. He turned his head sideways, and his eyes fell on the young woman in the corner, with a greedy smile of unknown meaning in his eyes.

   It seemed that he felt that the man in front of him was too obtrusive, so he suddenly swung his knife and slashed at him.

  The male host stepped back quickly, but how big can the thatched cottage be? In just a few steps, he retreated to the edge of the mud wall.

  The bandit soldier snorted, stepped forward, and was about to do it again, but he didn't notice that there was a woman behind the door, and saw that she was holding a piece of wood, and smashed directly at the back of the bandit soldier's head.

   The bandit soldier sensed that something was wrong behind him, and immediately dodged to the side, but in the end he still couldn't dodge completely. The woman's sap hit his right shoulder, making his arm swing insensitive for a while.

   That's enough, the man took this opportunity to hit the opponent's temple directly with the wooden stick.

  The bandit soldier shook, but didn't fall down, and was about to raise the knife again, but his arms were a little sluggish, and his forehead was buzzing again.

  I could only hear the whistling of the wind, and with a "boom", the man's wooden stick hit again fiercely, once, twice...

  The bandit soldiers finally couldn't hold on and fell down.

  The man stepped forward, grabbed the knife that fell on the ground, gritted his teeth, and punched the opponent hard in the heart.

  The bandit soldier let out a scream and died on the spot.

   "Quick, quick!"

  The man yelled at the bewildered woman, "Close the door!"

  The woman just woke up like a dream, and hurriedly pushed the door again.

   There was a "dong", and before she could close the door tightly, the door was kicked open again vigorously, a long knife was directly stabbed into her chest, and then her body was kicked to the ground.

   "San Laizi missed it?"

  The man came to kill the woman, and ran straight to the man without ambiguity at all.

  The man was too late to block and was about to retreat, but this time no one helped him, how could he be an opponent?

   It was only three moves, and the man's arm was chopped off, bleeding profusely.

   He gritted his teeth and was about to fight desperately, but the other party didn't give him a chance, and directly cut a long hole in his abdomen.

  Before his consciousness disappeared, he heard the cry of the young woman, the indistinct chaos before, and the triumphant and rampant lewd laugh...

   "Brother, save me!"

  The man heard his sister's last words, and finally lowered his head, his eyes were still wide open, as if he was expressing his dissatisfaction...

  The news of the looting of Zhuangzi near Wuchang spread quickly, causing a shock in the city.

  Wuchang Guard General Han Zong was furious and called all the generals, "Who did it?!"

He gritted his teeth and said, "I don't care if you pretend to be water bandits and plunder businessmen and travelers, and I don't care if you go to other places to rob people, but doing such things under the eyes of Wuchang City, isn't it trapping me? middle?"

  Everyone looked at each other, feeling a little guilty, because they were not sure if their subordinates did it.

   Indulging his subordinates for more than a year, because of the protection of the general, they have been safe and sound, so they have become more and more bold and unscrupulous.

   It would not be surprising if his subordinates ransacked Zhuangzi outside Wuchang City without authorization.

   "Then Zhuangzi, what is your connection with the general?"

   Someone asked tentatively.

  Han Zong sneered, "It has nothing to do with me, but it does have connection with Jiangxia's Juncheng. That Zhuangzi belongs to his uncle's family. He has always been at odds with me, but you are not clean in doing things and left clues."

"Now he has suspected me. Now the king of Wu ordered me to go back to Jianye, saying that he wanted to thoroughly investigate the bandits in Wuchang. He also said that the bandits have continued for more than a year, and it was all caused by you and others. Not good."

"I also got the news that the King of Wu not only sent people from Jianye, but also planned to treat the officials below Wuchang generals as conscripts. If the banditry is found out again, I'm afraid we will all die without burial. land!"

  As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed drastically, with panic showing on their faces.

  Old General Han is the hero of Jiangdong III, and he has made great military exploits for Jiangdong.

  General Han inherited the old general's position as Marquis. Everyone thought that with his protection, they would be safe, but they didn't expect things to develop to such a point.

   "The King of Wu really wants to attack me?"

   Someone asked a question in disbelief, but at the same time held some hope.

   "I have been with the old general for a long time, and I have a long history of military exploits. It was just a moment of confusion and I made a mistake. Why don't the general ask the king of Wu, and only hope that I will take the blame and make meritorious service?"

   "King Wu's temper, I don't know better than you?" Han Zong sighed, "It's not because I was disrespectful to King Wu. Could it be that you forgot what happened to Zhang Wen two years ago?"

  Zhang Wen was almost killed by Sun Quan at first, and then he was deposed because of everyone's pleading, but his family was still exiled to Jiaozhou and other plague-stricken places.

   But the crime was suspected of being imposed, so it was deeply sympathized by Jiangdong's ruling and opposition parties.

   "Over the past few years, the King of Wu has convicted people mostly because of his preferences, just like the emblem of Jiaozhou. The King of Wu has promised to spare his life, but what happens next?"

  Han Zong sneered and said, "Think about it, are the things we have done less serious than Zhang Wen's crime? Capital punishment is inevitable. As for the wife and daughter in the family, it would be nice if they could live as prostitutes."

   These people have oppressed other people's wives and daughters not once or twice, but when they think of their own wives and daughters becoming prostitutes, they feel indignant.

  Seeing that they exchanged glances with each other, and looked up at Han Zong, the atmosphere became a little weird.

   "General, what should we do?"

   "I am also in danger, so how do I know what to do?"

  Han Zong's face was full of despair, he glanced at the crowd from the corner of his eye, and said, "All I can think of is to plead guilty to the king of Wu and bear the crime with all my strength."

   "If the King of Wu only blames me, that would be the best. If not, you can find a chance and leave on your own, so as not to be punished..."

Before Han Zong finished speaking, someone finally couldn't help but stood up and advised loudly, "No, general! These things were done together by everyone. Even if the general took it all by himself, wouldn't we be ruthless?" What's more, it is impossible for the king of Wu to hold the general accountable."

"I think that Zhang Wen belongs to the Wujun family. Because of the crime he wanted to commit, his family members could not escape the pain of exile. I can't wait for a soldier, and I can't be compared with the children of that family. I made such a big mistake. How could it be possible to make King Wu open?"

  When everyone heard it, they all felt that it was very reasonable, and the last hope in their hearts was also extinguished.

   "Then what should I do? Is it possible to die like this?"

   As Han Zong said, he gave the man a wink.

   "The world is not owned by the surname Sun, if we don't stay here, is there no other place to go?"

  As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

   "I am greatly favored by King Wu..."

  Han Zong showed a struggling look on his face. At the same time, he secretly observed the expressions of the generals. He saw that everyone exchanged glances. Although they were surprised and puzzled, but rarely angry, he was overjoyed: This matter is finally done!

   "The sword and ax have been added to the body, is the general willing to die like this? The general doesn't think about himself, doesn't he think about his parents, wife and children at home?"

  Although this remark is a forced question to Han Zong, it is really a forced question to everyone.

   "General, reverse it!"

Some people also stood up, "Jiangdong can't tolerate us, so we will take refuge in the north, what are we afraid of? Thinking about Cao Wei, who has repeatedly lured the powerful clan of Panyang into chaos. Isn't it just a Peng Qi who came out this year and said that he would fight for Wei? Wu?"

   "The general is the general of Jiangdong, whose status is much higher than that of the clan. If he can raise his troops to the north, Cao Wei will definitely welcome him."

   "That's right! General, this is the moment of life and death, we can't hesitate anymore!"

"yes!"

  …

  With the leader, the people below finally joined the ranks of persuasion, and even those who hesitated finally made up their minds at this time.

   After all, as officers and soldiers, they can pretend to be bandits, kill people and rob people, how much shame can they be expected to have?

"good!"

  Han Zong gritted his teeth and nodded, "It's the opposite!"

  He looked at the crowd with sharp eyes, "If we all surrender to the north, we will entrust our wealth and lives to each other. We must work together and not have any disagreement."

   "That's natural!"

  Han Zong immediately made people kill cattle and drink alcohol, drinking blood to form an alliance.

  After the alliance, Han Zong said to everyone, "From today onwards, you are Zong's relatives and brothers. Come!"

  Han Zong summoned his servants and ordered, "Go and call all my aunts, sisters, maidservants and concubines, and say that I want to pay homage to your lord."

  When the generals heard what Han Zong said, they were all a little puzzled, not knowing what he was going to do.

After a while, all the women from the Han family arrived. Han Zong pointed at them and said to the generals, "Whoever you like, take whatever you like. In this way, we will be relatives by marriage, and there will be no barriers between us!" "

  As soon as he said this, not only his aunts and sisters, but also all the generals in the trilogy were terrified.

   "You ignorant animal!"

  At this time, I saw Han Zong's biological mother, the old lady of the Han family rushing in from behind the door, pointing at him with tears and yelling, "There are such heartless people like you in the world?"

   "Help the old lady down and let her have a good rest. Without my permission, no one can disturb the old lady!"

  Han Zong shouted sharply.

   "Beast! Beast..."

  The old lady was forcibly pushed down, and the scolding still came from afar.

   "How did Ah Lang make such a big joke?"

  On weekdays, a concubine who was deeply favored by Han Zong had the courage to come over and say a word, only to see Han Zong turn around and pull out the sword hanging on the wall, stabbing her to death.

  Han Zong stood in the middle of the lobby with his sword raised, his eyes red as fire, "I really want to marry you, what are you doing standing there?"

  Those who wanted to resist among the female family members were silent when they saw this man's crazy appearance.

  When the trilogy members saw the female relatives who could only watch from a distance but not get close to them on weekdays, they were now huddled there, waiting for themselves to step forward to choose, and they couldn't help breathing quickly.

  In addition, there is no way out now, they are already desperadoes, and everyone is starting to go crazy.

   "General, I have admired Liu Niangzi for a long time. If I can win Liu Niangzi's favor, I will not regret it even if I die!"

   "Certainly! There are many wing rooms in the Hou's mansion, today is your wedding day!"

   "Thank you General!"

  The man was overjoyed, and went straight to the female relatives, couldn't wait to pull a girl out, then looked at Han Zong, Han Zong nodded, and the man ran away with the girl in his arms.

   Seeing such a scene, how could everyone hold back, they stepped forward to grab people.

  For a while, there were cries for help, shouts, crying, and so on.

   Han Zong laughed out loud!

  Han Zong, the son of Han Dang, was reprimanded by Lu Xun on his behalf because of his fornication and misconduct during the mourning period.

  Han Zong was fearful, first he allowed Buqu to plunder merchants and travelers, and then lied to Buqu that the incident had been revealed, and the King of Wu wanted to take them in and punish them, so as to force them to rebel.

  In the twelfth lunar month of the fifth year of Jianxing, Han Zong and Buqu slaughtered cattle and drank wine, drinking blood as an alliance, and gave them to Buqu with relatives, aunts, concubines and maidservants as tools.

  After digging out the coffin of his father Han Dang, he took his mother and led thousands of men and women to defect to Wei State.

  Sun Quan, who was far away in Jianye, learned that he almost spurted old blood!

  Why did I have to be so tolerant to this ignorant Lizi last year?

   What's even more hateful is that before he defected, he actually cheated him of the wool cloth he bought with three thousand knives...

   Enter your mother!

   Shit!
