"Bah, shameless people, with us here, don't even want to catch the Prime Minister."

Huan Yi said to Tan Gao and Wu Yingxing: "Marson, General Wu, you can protect the Prime Minister first. General Xia Hou and General Chen will deal with these two traitors."

After saying that, the three of them rode their horses and speared their guns and rushed towards Bai Qin. Jingde rushed over.

Bai Qin and Jingde immediately raised their guns to greet each other. The five people fought together. Tan Gao and Wu Yingxing took this opportunity to protect the ancestors and fled towards the north gate.

Bai Qin fought alone in Xia Houcheng, and Chen Tao and the other two generals did not gain any advantage, but they did not lose the upper hand. The three of them fought to the point of equal battle.

The battle between Jingde and Hengyi also happened to be the opponent, and the winner was not decided after twenty rounds.

At this moment, a sound of horse hooves came. Hua Ju rode Zhao Ye Yu Lion, with Jiao Ting, Yu Baosi, Si Xingfang, Li Tianrun and others. Seeing Bai Qin, Jing De was fighting hard, he immediately let Li Tianrun , the Sixingfang went to help.

Xia Houcheng, Chen Tao and Hengyi's martial arts are not very high. They have fought with Bai Qin and Jingde to fight with all their strength. Li Tianrun and Si Xingfang came, and they were captured alive without a single move.

Hua Jue rode over, Bai Qin and Jing De saluted him and said, "Sir."

Hua Juezhu nodded lightly and asked, "Where is Zu Shiyuan?"

"I ran away. The marshal Tan Gao and Wu Yingxing were with him. They should have escaped to Qingxi." Bai Qin said.

"The villain takes people to chase him." Si Xingfang said.

Hua Ju shook her hand gently and said, "No need, he can't escape. You should go and help clear out the remaining rebels in the city."

"yes."

Si Xingfang, Li Tianrun, Bai Qin, Jingde and others rode away on horseback. Hua Jue brought the people around her into the Prime Minister's Mansion, gathering all the servants who had not had time to escape together and asking. They were all ordinary people, so they did not make things difficult for them, and asked them to stay in the mansion for the time being and wait until the outside was calm before leaving.

Tan Gao and Wu Yingxing protected Zu Shi from afar to the north gate. They saw that the north gate was fighting from the city tower to the bottom of the city tower, and there were people fighting everywhere, and it was already in chaos.

"Prime Minister, the city gate is open." Tan Gao pointed to the city gate and said.

Some soldiers were already afraid of opening the city gate and running away, so the city gate was open, and now there are still people running out.

"Walk."

Zu Shiyuan, Tan Gao and Wu Yingxing rode their horses toward the city gate. Several soldiers of the incorporation army and guards saw it and hurriedly came up to stop it. However, because their horses were too fast, they were unable to stop them in the end. I can survive, they rushed out of the city.

Drive...Driving...Driving...

After Zu Shiyuan, Tan Gao and Wu Yingxing rushed out of the city, he thrust his mount under his crotch in vain. While running forward, he looked back, for fear that pursuers would come.

The three of them ran for two or three miles, and saw that no one was chasing them behind them, they finally felt relieved and thought they had escaped.

However, at this moment, a whistle suddenly came from the front, and the torch lighted up. Zu Shiyuan, Tan Gao and Wu Yingxing saw that there were soldiers wearing imperial guards' uniforms, and there were thousands of people around him. .

The soldiers dodged to both sides, Qin Donghao slowly appeared on a horse, looked at Zu Shiyuan and the other three, and asked, "Who are you?"

Tan Gao and Wu Yingxing looked at Zu Shiyuan. Zu Shiyuan was so scared that his face was pale and could not take up his mind.

Seeing that they didn't say anything, Qin Donghao was too lazy to ask them again, and ordered: "Catch them up for me."

"Yes." More than thirty cavalrymen rode around them on horseback.

"Fight with them."

Tan Gao and Wu Yingxing were worried that their lives would be lost when they fell into the hands of the officers and soldiers, so they rushed towards the cavalry with their weapons, ready to fight for a bloody path.

As for Zu Shiyuan, they no longer cared about it at this time.

Wu Yingxing faced the attacks of thirteen guard cavalrymen, and was shot down in less than five rounds and captured alive.

But as the marshal under Zu Shiyuan, Tan Gao was very good at martial arts and was not under Liu Yun at all. Facing the cavalry of the guards besieged him, he was not afraid at all. He was so brilliant that he stabbed seven guards to death in his hand.

cavalry.

When Qin Donghao saw Tan Gao’s martial arts skills, he immediately ordered: “Everyone retreats, and the crossbow archers aim at me.”

The besieged cavalry quickly retreated, and hundreds of crossbow archers raised their crossbows and pointed them at Tan Gao. Tan Gao's face changed drastically. After all, no matter how good his martial arts skills were, he could not resist hundreds of crossbow archers at the same time.

attack.

"I will give you one last chance and immediately dismount and surrender, which will avoid death, otherwise it will immediately become a dead soul under an arrow." Qin Donghao warned.

Tan Gao looked at the cavalry around him and knew that he could not escape, but he was also worried that he would be even more miserable after surrender. After all, he committed the crime of rebellion. The court has always been more rebellious to those who rebel and rebellious.

What's more, he was still in charge of the position of marshal, and he was a serious offender. If he was sentenced to silence, it would be better to die now.

Seeing that Tan Gao was always hesitant, Qin Donghao was impatient and said, "I don't have time to waste time with you here. I will count three times. If you don't surrender, you don't have to surrender anymore, one!"

When Tan Gao heard Qin Donghao counting, cold sweat appeared on his head, and his hands holding the gun couldn't help but start to tremble.

"two!"

Qin Donghao shouted again, and raised his left hand at the same time.

Tan Gao's nerves were tense at this time, and his heart was in his throat. He knew that there was not much time left for him to choose, and he had to make a choice before the last sound came out, otherwise he would aim at his hundreds of people.

Arrows will shoot through his body without hesitation.

"three!"

Qin Donghao finally shouted the third sound, and his left hand raised high was also ready to fall.

"I surrender."

Tan Gao said depressedly that in the choice between life and death, he ultimately did not have the courage to choose Yibo and surrender.

However, in the face of such a situation, not many people can really choose Yibo, he just chose the same as most people.

Tan Gao threw the gun in his hand to the ground, and then knelt down from the horse. Qin Donghao waved his hand to the soldiers around him, and the soldiers came down from the horse and tied up Tan Gao.

Qin Donghao finally felt relieved when he saw that Tan Gao, who was the most difficult to deal with, and then turned his attention to Zu Shiyuan, who had been scared to death, because Zu Shiyuan was wearing literary clothes and did not hold weapons in his hand.

It seems that he is a person who is not good at martial arts, so Qin Donghao left him in the end to arrest him.

"Catch him up." Qin Donghao did not ask Zu Shiyuan whether to surrender or not, and directly ordered someone to arrest him.

Seven or eight soldiers went over and pulled the ancestral soldiers off the horse, then pressed them to the ground and tied them up.

"Who are you three?" Qin Donghao looked at Tan Gao, Wu Yingxing, and Zu Shiyuan asked.

Wu Yingxing, Zu Shiyuan didn't speak, Tan Gao hesitated for a moment and said, "I am the marshal Tan Gao, the right prime minister of Muzhou, Zu Shiyuan. The other general is the guard general Wu Yingxing. As for the last one-he is the right one

Prime Minister Zu Shiyuan."

Marshal Tan Gao, right prime minister Zu Shiyuan!

Qin Donghao didn't expect that he had caught two big fish, and he was secretly excited, and then led a large group of people to Muzhou to meet Huaju.

When they arrived in Muzhou, the war in the city was still in progress, because the scattered guards were still fleeing everywhere in the city, and Sun An, Guan Sheng and other generals were still leading their troops to encircle and suppress them.

After asking the soldiers about Ming Huaju's residence, Qin Donghao took people to the Prime Minister's residence with him. When he saw Huaju, he told him about the capture of Zu Shiyuan, Tan Gao and Wu Yingxing.

"Bring them up." Hua Ju said.

The soldiers pushed Zu Shiyuan, Tan Gao and Wu Yingxing to Hua Ju. Hua Ju looked at them and asked, "Are you willing to surrender?"

"We are willing to surrender."

Tan Gao and Wu Yingxing both knelt down and said, only Zu Shi stood far away and did not move.

Because his relationship with Fang La is extraordinary, the two of them knew each other before Fang La rebelled. After Fang La rebelled, he kept following him to make suggestions. He was a core figure around Fang La, and Fang La has always treated him well.

Not only did he be named the right prime minister, but he also gave him all the big and small matters in Muzhou, and he had great trust in him.

Therefore, his loyalty to Fang La is far beyond the reach of others.

"Don't you want to surrender?" Hua Ju asked.

Zu Shiyuan said calmly: "As Your Majesty's right prime minister, I have not defended Muzhou, and I am already ashamed of Your Majesty's trust and trust. How could I surrender to the enemy again?"

"Aren't you afraid of death?" Hua Ju asked.

Zu Shiyuan said, "Who is not afraid of death, but if I ask my Majesty to betray His Majesty and beg for mercy like a dog to pray for your life, then I would rather die."

Hua Ju admired Zu Shiyuan's attitude of rather than surrendering, and felt that his unyielding will was a hundred times stronger than treacherous ministers such as Cai Jing, who was also a literati.

"Fang La went against the will of heaven and established the court privately, which brought great pain and disaster to the people of Jiangnan. Is it worth it to be loyal to such a person?" Hua Ju asked.

"Will he not raise an army to rebel and establish a private court, and the people in Jiangnan have no pain and disaster?"

Zu Shiyuan looked at Hua Ju and sneered: "If the officials of the court had not forced the people to have no way to survive, who would have been willing to rebel? If the emperor had not been to the noble emperor for his own enjoyment, he would have to transport some flower and stone gang to Jiangnan.

The people are so tragic that they are willing to spend their days on peace, but they want to rise up and fight against the court?

Now that you have put all the responsibility for the suffering of the people on Fang La, don’t you feel guilty?”

Hua Ju was speechless because not only the chaos in Jiangnan, but also the chaos in other parts of the Song Dynasty, Huizong, as the emperor, could not shirk responsibility.

"In the past, His Majesty and the court did not do well, but now he knows that he is wrong and is working hard to change. I believe he will get better and better in the future." Hua Ju said.

Zu Shiyuan said: "He still has a chance to change, but do those people who have been persecuted still have a chance to return to their previous lives?"

Hua Ju said: "The court will definitely compensate the people for the pain and harm caused to them in the past, but if Fang La rebels continue to fight against the court like this, the hard days of the people will not end one day. Only by ending the rebellion as soon as possible, the people will be

Only then can you return to a peaceful life.

I think you are also a person with real talent and knowledge. Why not just turn the dark and turn the light and return to the right path and use all your knowledge to benefit the people. Isn’t it much better than now?”

Zu Shiyuan sighed softly and said, "I used to be very eager to be able to get fame and honor, report to the court, and comfort the people, but in the end it was a dream. But in Fang La, I showed what I learned throughout my life.

Although such days are short, I am already content.
