Chapter 543 If you don't want to do it, you will obey me
After all, Du Yanqiu, who was originally from Luoyang, was attacked and slaughtered by the fierce soldiers and thugs of Caizhou who were tyrants Qin Zongquan in his childhood. All his parents and relatives died tragically... He was displaced to Bianzhou and adopted the local wealthy family Du, so he changed his surname to Wang. Later, at the age of fourteen, he responded to Zhu Wen's recruitment of soldiers and joined the army as a rich child. Not only did he hate the atrocities of brutal warlords who drove soldiers to eat people in such troubled times, he was able to avenge his blood relatives from the beginning and even compete for a chance to make a name for himself. This was also given by Zhu Wen.
However, Qin Zongquan's great hatred, and even his generals Sun Ru and other human-cannibal demon kings, were finally defeated one after another under the joint efforts of Li Tianqu, Zhu Wen, Yang Xingmi, Qian Liu, etc., etc. Du Yanqiu was also avenged. However, when Zhu Wen bloodied the Tang court, slaughtered the princes and nobles, and even killed the emperor and usurped the Tang Dynasty... Du Yanqiu, who was a decent man, naturally had a lot of complaints, but he also knew very well that there was no absolute justice in this world. Which founding monarchs of all dynasties were not against the opposition and supremacy? Good people may not be good emperors. If the Liang Dynasty could end the turbulent and bloody chaotic times at the end of the Tang Dynasty, he would also serve as a loyal general under Zhu Wen's command and always serve the Liang Kingdom.
However, although Zhu Wen could be said to have a good governance of the country at first, over the years... he has not only become more and more harsh and violent, but also has become more and more suspicious:
Can such a lord be considered a wise and powerful lord?
What's more, in recent years, in the Liang Dynasty, the royal relatives such as Zhao Yan, the uncle Duan Ning, and even the wife Liu, who was the other wife of the emperor, who was appointed by Jing Xiang, were in great power and relied on their power. They not only reversed the rules, but also had a large number of followers who were competing for power and nobles, causing chaos in the court... In addition to always thinking about fighting the Wei Kingdom with Li Tianqu again, Zhu Wen used his daughter-in-law to fight back hegemony, and was always sleeping in his daughter-in-law and having palace maids... He was even more extravagant and more arbitrary, and he was already a typical tyrannical monarch.
Zhu Wen is now like a cruel and harsh tyrant, who often executes military officials and generals; but he is like a foolish monarch, who tolerate royal relatives and nobles to harm the people, and destroys the law and destroys the country... With real military achievements, Du Yanqiu, a hero who has achieved such a status today, is certainly resentful. Now the current situation in Liang State is actually becoming more and more turbulent, and Du Yanqiu sees it. Therefore, if it is time to die for all ministers, how could he not hesitate?
However, when Du Yanqiu was hesitating and pondering, he suddenly heard a faint sound of large groups of soldiers outside the city mobilized into his ears. His face changed and he immediately stood up. There was a loud noise around him. Among the army soldiers who were running back and forth, another commander jumped out and rushed to Du Yanqiu and reported in a hurry:
"The commander-in-chief! The Wei army has moved!"
"It seems that Wei Jun doesn't have the patience to wait any longer. Seeing that I insist on resigning, are I going to kill myself?"
Du Yanqiu showed grief and anger on his face, and he couldn't help but immediately said angrily. Suddenly, there were loud noises on the top of the city, and another soldier reported loudly to him:
"The commander-in-chief is the Emperor of Wei... He personally rode his horse to the front of Xia County!"
"What!?"
Du Yanqiu was stunned when he heard this. He soon came to his senses and rushed towards the top of the city. The surprising military academy soldiers on the top of the city also made way. When Du Yanqiu climbed to the top of the Xia County, he saw the flags of the Wei army outside, and the array arranged in the array could not be seen at a glance... However, although the scale of the opposite army was huge, the various cavalry and infantry troops stood up and stood on standby, and it seemed that they had no intention of launching a full-scale attack on the city walls.
In front of the Wei army formation, Du Yanqiu suddenly saw a cavalry walking towards this side, and stopped more than 200 steps away from the city wall. Although they didn't see each other clearly, they could probably confirm that the person who came to the city was Li Tianqu, the Emperor of Wei. Du Yanqiu looked a little complicated, and he couldn't help but feel emotion...
To be honest, when they first met with Li Tianqu, they fought side by side and fought against Sun Ru's troops. Although they knew very well that the person in front of them was the nemesis of his lord Zhu Wen and the top enemy of Liang State, Du Yanqiu had always had a good impression of Li Tianqu. After all, they were their own masters. If there were any choices, Du Yanqiu would not want to fight against Li Tianqu, a hero who played a vital role in destroying Qin Zong's power and killing Sun Ru.
The Wei army first took over the vanguard of the Jin army. Although they surrounded Xia County, they did not launch a full attack. At this moment, Li Tianqu, the enemy emperor, appeared under the city himself... His intention was probably guessed by Du Yanqiu. However, he looked at the city in a daze, suddenly opened his mouth, but he wanted to speak but stopped, and there was no hint of embarrassment between his eyebrows...
Li Tianqu drove Xiongjun's tall horse to pace back and forth. Whether it was the long sword used for war horses or the sword on his waist, he looked towards Xiaxian County, and vaguely saw someone rushing to the top of the city. He smiled slightly, took a deep breath, and then shouted loudly:
"General Du, you and I used to fight against the evil thief Sun Ru, and we also formed a friendship with each other. Although you served in Liang State and had to fight with our dynasty, I thought about the relationship between old friends in the past, and I hope to talk to you in front of the city in person!
I promise General Du that the troops of our Wei Dynasty will not take the opportunity to take back the city walls at least, and I hope to see you for a while!"
Li Tianqu finished shouting, and a large number of military soldiers behind him immediately shouted in unison. The sound was like a tide, and it was clearly heard into Du Yanqiu and even the remaining soldiers around him.
Another commotion was caused on the top of Xia County. The nearby Liang Jun Military Academy turned to look at Du Yanqiu and asked immediately:
"The commander, I'm afraid there is a fraud..."
"In this situation, it is easy for Emperor Wei to kill him. But he came in person with a condescending nobleman, so why should he design such a trick to deceit? Whether you see or not, since you can't hold on to him, then you might as well go and see him calmly."
Du Yanqiu said with a wry smile. He made up his mind and ran down from the top of the city. However, when he rushed to the front of the mount tied in the stable, he hesitated for a moment, then placed his two hammers that he had used on the side of the stable, then untied the reins and turned over the horse. Like Li Tianqu, he rode alone and galloped towards the city gate without weapons.
The city gate on the east side of Xia County was slowly opened, and Li Tianqu saw Du Yanqiu one by one and one horse from afar. When he ran out of the city, he still had a calm smile on his face, so he drove his horse forward to meet him. The two of them rode close together until they were still more than ten steps away from each other. Du Yanqiu took the lead and bowed his hand and said:
"The last general meets the Emperor of Wei, but the country is different, and our Liang State is also an enemy of Wei State. This time, the army is here under the order of order. Since the killing formation is an enemy, I would like to forgive the general that the Emperor cannot pay homage to the Emperor of Wei by the courtesy of meeting the emperor."
Li Tianqu waved his hand with a smile, and replied in an extremely gentle tone:
"General Du doesn't need to be polite. Although Zhu Wen's thief is unsuccessful, he has launched troops to invade our territory. However, I know the reason why the general joined the army and served him, and he is able to be strong. Although he met each other on the battlefield, the general's just now letting the people who were strongly detained in the city go out of the city, which shows that you are kind and innocent...
Now, it is better to say bluntly that even if you invade our territory, those who kill our people will need to be punished. However, if General Du died here for Liang State, I will feel that it is not worth it for you. Now I come here in person to ask for a detailed discussion. I believe the general is also very clear about my plans, right?"
