Chapter 888: The Magnificent Power of Han (Part 13)
Quwo, Conde's residence.
The Kong family was also a big boss in Yan State, but in Quwo, they were only allocated a small courtyard. Kong De could only live in this small courtyard with a dozen soldiers. Since arriving in Quwo, , Tan Feng, and Zhou Yu dispersed his troops bit by bit, either sending them to civilians and turning them into farmers, or being dispersed and assigned to other armies. Kongde let this go and did not do anything drastic. , Kongde himself also knew very well that leaving his son in Tianhe and sending him to the Eastern Expedition Army, and then coming to Quwo, was an extremely taboo thing in itself. However, he thought that he was magnanimous in his heart and did what he did. I just wanted to do my last bit for Dayan to repay the kindness that the Yan Dynasty had shown to the Kong family.
Now everyone can see that the broken ship of the Yan Kingdom, which was already riddled with holes, is about to sink.
"Master, the young master hopes that you will leave Quwo immediately. This is definitely not a place for you to stay for a long time." A veteran of the Kong family who was appointed by Kong Fang and brought his personal letter lowered his voice: "Young Master received the news. There may be a large-scale operation in Quwo in the near future, but the specific purpose has not been found out clearly. The master said that no matter what Tan Feng Zhou Yu wants to do, it will definitely be detrimental to you, the owner of the family. The master wants you to leave Quwo immediately. When you go to Tianhe, Master will also send someone to greet you."
Kongde smiled and waved his hand, "How is Fang'er doing in the Eastern Expedition Army?"
"Young master is living a good life. He is now appointed as one of his commanders by Ye Zhen, commander of the Central Group Army of the Eastern Expeditionary Army. However, our five thousand soldiers of the Kong family have been disrupted and incorporated into various armies. Now we are serving under your command. There are less than a thousand people."
"This is what it should be, and it is also the most common method used by the Eastern Expeditionary Army to digest external collaborators." Comte nodded and said that he already understood this policy of the Eastern Expeditionary Army. "It's good if he is doing well. I don't have anything here." It can be said that I am just an idler now. No matter what Zhou Yutanfeng wants to do, he will never take my life. He is just messing around."
The old soldier insisted: "Master, the young master has taken his mistress and all the Kong family members to Jishi City. Governor Gao has married his wife, and the young master has been ordered to go to congratulate him. By the way, he has also sent all his family members to Jishi City. I heard it is there. Zhengdong Mansion has already prepared the house for the mistress and her party. Master, you’d better go. This time, I sneaked into Quwo. Along the way, I always felt that something was wrong."
"You are overthinking it. It would be strange if Quwo feels right now!" Kongde said with a smile: "You have come a long way to work hard, just rest here for two days and then go back and tell A Fang that everything is fine with me now." OK, let him take care of his mother."
"Yes, head of the family!" The veteran bowed and saluted, turned around and went out. As soon as one foot stepped out of the door, the rumble of horse hooves suddenly came from outside. Kongde frowned slightly and stepped out of the door.
With a bang, the door was hit by a heavy object, and the two door panels flew backwards. Several war horses rushed in through the open door. Behind the war horses, two groups of soldiers filed in.
At this time, more than a dozen of Conde's soldiers were also startled, and they rushed out from the side rooms on both sides, stood in front of Conde, stood with their swords pressed, and stared at the people who came in.
"Tan Feng?" Kong De raised his eyebrows and looked at the knight on the horse, "What do you mean?"
Tan Feng stood high on the horse and looked at Kong De coldly, "What do I mean? I have to ask General Kong. Dare I ask, where does the person behind you come from?"
The veteran behind Kongde trembled. Ever since he entered Quwo, he had always felt a little uncomfortable. Now he finally understood that he had been targeted since he entered Quwo. The veteran's intuition made him feel It's wrong, but I can't find out the reason. The other party has been harassing me until I step into the house owner's door. The reason is naturally clear. It's a shame that I didn't realize this and was used as a gunman. .
Kongde was startled at first, then laughed and said: "I have nothing to say to others. This man is a veteran of my Kong family. He came from Tianhe and brought me a letter from home."
"I'm afraid it's not a letter from home, but a letter from the Eastern Conquest Army asking you to serve as an internal correspondent, right?" Tan Feng sneered.
"Fart!" Kongde was furious, "Who am I, Kongde, who would do such stupid things? If I, Kongde, had other intentions, I would not follow the king to Quwo. Mr. Tan, You don't want to rant, the letter is here, do you want to take a look at it?"
"Why bother to read it? It must be so!" Tan Feng looked up to the sky and laughed, "Besides, how do I know that you will show me the real letter? Kongde, you keep saying that you are loyal to the king, so why are you here? When it was fertile, you left your son and five thousand soldiers and horses to join the Eastern Conquest Army?"
Conde took a deep breath: "I asked them to stay behind and intercept the enemy. As for the future, that is not what I know."
"This is the least funny joke I've heard this year." Tan Feng snorted, "Do you think we are all fools? Kong De, everyone has gained the spoils today, what else do you have to say?"
"If you want to impose a crime, why bother?" Conde said angrily: "I want to see the king."
"Meet the king? Do you want to tell the king that you have two sides, colluding with the Eastern Conquest Army, and trying to capture the king as a tribute to the Eastern Conquest Army for promotion? Kongde, if you want others to know, unless you yourself Mo Wei, you have failed, come here and capture them all for me."
Upon hearing this word, the guards around Conde all pulled out their swords, roared and took a few steps forward.
"What the hell, Kong De, do you still want to stick around and resist? Let me tell you, all the generals you brought to Quwo have been captured. Several of them have already accused you of colluding with the Eastern Expedition Army for evil intentions. The evidence is conclusive." Tan Feng sneered. He raised his hands and said, "If you resist, I will kill Wu He!"
As Tan Feng raised his hand, a long bow was raised, and the sharp arrows were aimed at Kongde and his dozen soldiers.
Kongde sighed softly, stepped out of the crowd, and walked to Tan Feng's horse, "You are eager to kill me. It seems that what Quwo has said these days is not groundless. Do you really want to surrender to the Qin army? Tan Feng, you have to think clearly. If the king goes to Qin, he will become a prisoner from now on. It is still unclear whether his life can be saved when he comes forward forever. If you are truly loyal to the king, you will never do this. Leave this matter alone."
"That's nonsense!" Tan Feng's expression changed slightly.
Kong De looked at his face and realized that this matter had become true. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "Tan Feng, I hope you won't regret it in the future."
He turned around and looked at his soldiers, "Put down your weapons. There is no need to die. They just want me to die. You don't have to be buried with me unnecessarily."
"Master of the family!" The veteran's eyes were already red, and he drew his sword and rushed out, "I killed the master of the family, I will fight with them." He rushed to Tan Feng and slashed at Tan Feng with one strike.
Tan Feng snorted coldly, rolled up his horsewhip, and wrapped it around the veteran's wrist. With a shake of his hand, he shook the veteran to the ground. The soldiers behind him rushed up and held the veteran tightly.
"Stop it, stop it!" Comte shouted loudly to stop the soldiers around him who were about to pounce.
"General Kong is a sensible person and knows that there is no need to make unnecessary resistance." Tan Feng laughed, got off his horse, walked to the veteran who was pushed to the ground, squatted down, stretched out his riding whip and lifted the opponent's arms. Face, said: "Spare your life, go back and tell Kong Fang that if you want his father to live, he rebelled against the Eastern Expeditionary Army and gave me Ye Zhen's head in exchange for his life."
He stood up and saw that his subordinates had tied up Kong De and more than a dozen of his soldiers. Then he waved his hand and said, "Let him go and let him go back to Tianhe to find Kong Fang."
The veteran struggled to stand up, glanced at the restrained Kong De, staggered out of the yard, and ran towards the distance.
Watching the veteran disappear from his sight, a sneer appeared at the corner of Tan Feng's mouth. He didn't really expect Kong Fang to do anything, but it was enough to make the Eastern Expeditionary Army suspicious of him. Kong Fang was in Ye Ye. There are five thousand elite soldiers under Zhen Zhen's command. Although they have been scattered and dispersed, they are still a decisive force under the current situation where Ye Zhen's Central Group Army is not satisfied with the organization. As long as Ye Zhen is slightly suspicious, he will not dare to take over. He acted rashly during the time he came down, so that he would have enough time to implement his plan.
"Send Kong De to the prison and wait for the king's order!" Tan Feng said coldly.
In Quwo County Government Prison, Kong De was sitting cross-legged. It was winter, and the prison was even more gloomy. The cell where Kong De was imprisoned had nothing but a pile of straw. Come on. Today, Kongde was finally convinced that Tan Feng, Zhou Yu and the others' plan to surrender to the Qin army must be true, otherwise they would not have done this to him. If he had been fine, he would have tried his best to oppose their plan, and Although the army he brought has been dispersed, he still has great influence if he climbs up and makes a call.
He sighed. This matter must have been hidden from Ji Ling. Otherwise, no matter how confused Ji Ling was, he would not have done this. Tan Feng, Zhou Yu and the others could surrender, but Ji Ling would never be able to surrender. .
The closed cell door opened with a heart-wrenching sound. Kong De raised his head and saw Chun Yuyan.
Chunyu Yan held a food box in her hand, walked to Kongde silently, took out the dishes in the food box one by one, placed them in front of Kongde, then picked up the wine pot and filled it for Kongde.
"I respect you!" Chun Yuyan raised his wine glass.
Kongde nodded, picked up the wine glass, drank it all in one gulp, put down the wine glass, and looked at the other party, "When will Tan Feng and the others take action?"
Chunyu Yan's eyes turned elsewhere, not into Kong De's eyes.
"If you surrender to the Qin people, what will happen to the king?"
"Lu Chao guarantees that the king is safe and sound!" Chunyu Yan whispered.
"Safe and safe?" Comte smiled bitterly, "Perhaps, this is also a good destination for him."
"Gao Yuan has defeated Tian Dan and successfully plunged Qi into civil strife. Next, he will definitely target the king and us. When the time comes, Wei will inevitably hand us over under the pressure of the Eastern Army. When we go out, we naturally can't tie up everything." Chunyu Yan said.
"Understood." Comte nodded: "When are you going to kill me?" Looking at the food and wine in front of him, Comte suddenly realized, "Are you here to see me off today?"
"You and I have known each other for decades. I'll have a little wine today to see you off, and early tomorrow morning it's time for you to hit the road." Chun Yuyan said slowly. (To be continued)
