Chapter 261 Giving a Head

It was impossible for the soldiers not to make a noise during the process anyway, and it was impossible to capture all the confidantes of Zhao Du at once, and one or two of them would slip through the net anyway.So it didn't take long for Zhennan King Zhao to know about Dong Tiancheng's incitement of his generals to do whatever they wanted.

After hearing the news, Zhennan King Zhao Du was instantly at a loss.

He never thought of it.

Dong Tiancheng actually played with himself a scene of secretly repairing the plank road and secretly hiding Chen Cang. He obviously comforted himself, but secretly turned over most of the soldiers and the lowest officials.

The clay figurine was still angry, not to mention that Zhao Du was alone. After learning the news, Zhao Du slapped the table in front of him.

The loud voice directly explained Zhao Du's mood at this time, as bad as it could be.

Niang Xipi's.

Mother Xipi's ah.

Zhennan King Zhao Du roared loudly.

Under such an occasion, a staff officer suddenly stepped forward and suggested: "My lord, at this point, why don't we simply turn against each other? The imperial guards, guards, and vanguards are all in the hands of the lord. In addition, the ordnance department, the grain and grass department The confidants of the prince are also in charge, and the overall situation is still on our side."

The word "Fan" flew out of the staff officer's mouth and transferred to Zhennan Wang Zhaodu's ears, making Zhennan Wang Zhaodu stunned for a while.

It's not that Zhao Du doesn't rebel, but he wants a famous rebel. He doesn't want to follow in Shi Jingtang's footsteps.

Also.

Even if you rebel, you have no chance of winning.

Under the unknown, the source of soldiers, food, ordnance and other materials need to be self-raised.In the process of self-raising, once it is used forcefully, it will end up with the reputation of extortionate extortion.That way, if a soldier dies, he will lose one, and if he eats a grain, he will lose one grain, while the opponent will receive continuous supplies.

Under this situation.

The final result of the rebellion is doomed to failure.

The fate of the losers is miserable, and most of them will be betrayed by their own subordinates.

In view of these reasons, Zhao Du did not want to rebel, this is one aspect.On the other hand, it was Zhao Du who took the rebellion suggested by the staff officer as his own little plan, and wanted to use his own head to give him a bigger future after he rebelled.

After all, the head of a rebellious prince is quite valuable.

Under such thinking, Zhennan Wang Zhaodu ignored the staff's rebellion, but turned his attention to those who kept silent.

After looking at these people, after scanning a few times, he asked directly, "What do you think so far, please tell me."

"My lord, the words of Staff Officer Xiao can't be taken seriously. Although the imperial guards, guards, and vanguards are still in the hands of the lord, the total number of these soldiers and horses is less than [-]. In addition, there are also confidants of the lord in the ordnance department and the grain and grass department. I am in charge, but the people below are not the prince's people, so the overall situation is not on our side. From the moment the emperor defeated the invading Beiyuan army, we had no chance of winning. The servants thought that the prince should... .”

"Should surrender, right?" Zhennan King Zhao Du interjected.

"Your Highness is wise." The civic official who bluntly said that Zhennan Wang Zhaodu should surrender now expressed his opinion in the form of flattery, "My Great Song Dynasty established and governed the country with filial piety. The Highness is the emperor's uncle. Guarding Zhennan City for many years has contributed to the Song Dynasty. This is one. When the emperor personally conquered and resisted the invasion of the Northern Yuan army, he took the initiative to reduce part of his troops and radiated the goodwill of the prince. This is the second. Although the prince During the emperor's personal conquest, 20 troops were raised, but the banner was not clearly displayed, this is three."

Wen Chen gave three reasons why Zhao Du must surrender.

As for Zhao Du, whether to accept it or not is beyond the control of civil servants.

At this time, surrender was the clearest option, after all, Dong Tiancheng's soldiers had already surrounded the entire town of Zhennan.

The siege of the town of Nancheng by soldiers also made the whole town of Zhennan feel uneasy, and various gossips were flying all over the sky. Some people said that the King of Zhennan was going to fight the imperial army to death, some said that the King of Zhennan was going to surrender, and some said that some of the generals under the King of Zhennan, Prepare to use the head of Zhennan King Zhaodu in exchange for rumors such as their prosperity and wealth when the timing is not good.

Compared with the previous rumors, the latter rumors are even more depressing.

Outside Zhennan City.

Dong Tiancheng waved his hand, telling his soldiers to stop and set up camp on the spot.

Regarding this, a general asked Dong Tiancheng in puzzlement: "My lord, Zhennan City is ahead. Why did your lord order the army to stop? Now Zhennan City is at a time when people are distracted. If you send troops to besiege the city now, you will definitely be captured."

It's not that you can't enter, but you can't enter.

With the current situation, it can be said that the errand entrusted to him by the emperor to Dong Tiancheng has been completed, and the overall situation has been settled, but Dong Tiancheng's heart is still in suspense. For no reason, just because of this Zhennan King Zhaodu, he, this identity.

Once the king of Zhennan, Zhao Du, is convicted, the end must be death. Even if the emperor does not kill Zhao Du, those ministers who live under the emperor will still kill Zhao Du, especially those courtiers who have had contact with Zhao Du. The thought of killing Zhao Du must be even worse.

Because the living Zhao Du is like a bomb to them, and only when Zhao Du is dead can those people feel at ease.Therefore, Dong Tiancheng speculated that it would not be long before the emperor would send a decree.

Instead of that, it's better to give Zhao Du a ride by yourself.

"Report, my lord, the imperial envoy sent a box of things to my lord, and if my lord has anything to say, say it as soon as possible, and help if he can." A guard of the Imperial Army came and said.

Several people behind him were carrying boxes, and another person was carrying packages. Blood flowed out everywhere the packages and boxes passed.

One of Zhao Du's soldiers took the package and looked at it, and threw it on the ground in fright, stammering, "It's a human head."

It really is a human head, the package is a human head, and the box is also a human head, and they are all the heads of Zhao Du's confidantes.

Looking at these heads, Zhao Du's face was pale. After a while, he yelled loudly, as if all his strength had been vented.

The imperial guard who gave the head to Zhao Du was a little scared when he saw that Zhao Du was agitated, but then he thought about the price Dong Tiancheng had offered, and hurriedly said what Dong Tiancheng told him, "My lord! The imperial envoy said that these people were seeking personal gain. When the emperor personally fought against the army of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, they gathered troops without the prince's military order and forced the prince to do unrighteous and unjust things. After being discovered by the prince, he beheaded them all. Of."

This is another step down for Zhao Du.

It's just that after taking this step, Zhao Du will lose everything, including people's hearts. At that time, it is estimated that no one is willing to work for Zhao Du.

So Zhao Du was stunned. After a while, as if he was very angry, he suddenly burst out laughing. While laughing, he overturned the table forcefully, and the official documents on the table flew everywhere.
