After beheading Wang Lin, Wu Huijue asked Wu Chao to continue to lead the team to send Wang Lin's body to Jinling, and he immediately rushed back to Shouyang City with his men and horses to report to Wu Mingche.

From Wu Huijue hurriedly to the time he led the team to leave in a hurry, the process was only about ten minutes, but with a wave of his hand, he took Wang Lin's life, leaving only Xiao Yao and his musket team at the scene, as well as the pool of red and blackened blood, which was particularly dazzling!

The big tiger looked at Xiao Yao motionless and stared at the bloodstains, and he didn't say anything for a long time, although he knew that there would be an inside story here, but he didn't want to know, because the young master didn't follow him, he knew that he didn't deserve to know! It's just that seeing Xiao Yao's look of loss, he still persuaded: "Young master, Wang Lin is dead, let's go back!" ”

Xiao Yao let out a long sigh and then sneered: "Power! Power again! At the beginning, because of power, not only did I lose everything, but also made me devote myself to the pursuit of power! Now power is showing its charm in front of me again, if you want a man to die, he must die, and you can't do anything! Let's go, and when we go back, you will bring Sun Liu, a beggar, to me!" ”

Xiao Yao with the musket team was about to leave the scene and return to Shouyang City, but saw an old man, carrying a basket and a jar of wine, rushed here with tears in his eyes, when he saw Xiao Yao who looked like an officer and soldier, they were stunned at first, as if they were a little scared, but they seemed to suddenly muster up courage, and then they lifted their chests, strode to the pool of blood, and knelt down.

The old man wept softly, and took out a piece of cooked meat and other sacrificial objects from the basket, and offered himself in front of the stall of congealed blood, and poured the jar of wine around him, and then shouted, "The general goes all the way!" And he began to cry bitterly!

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yao also turned over and dismounted, and came to the front of the bloodstain with the musketeers with the musketeers, and lined up neatly, so majestic that the old man was so frightened that he immediately stopped crying, and looked at them blankly.

"The army died in the border field, why should the horse leather shroud! General go all the way! The musketeers salute! Xiao Yao shouted.

Bang bang bang! After a burst of gunshots, the musketeers under the leadership of Xiao Yao bowed to Wang Lin's bloodstains, and after the salute, Xiao Yao said apologetically to the old man: "The old man is frightened!" There is no right or wrong in war, only positions, now each is its master, as a soldier, of course, you have to fight to the death on the battlefield, but for General Wang's loyalty, we still admire it! Please let the old man collect the bloodstains of General Wang! ”

After that, Xiao Yao got back on his horse and rushed back to Shouyang City with the musket team. At this time, the news of Wang Lin's killing had spread throughout the streets and alleys of Shouyang City, and the cries also resounded throughout the place.

Back in the barracks, the atmosphere here has become very depressing and heavy, and many soldiers are wiping these tears! Xiao Yao was called by Wu Mingche as soon as he came back, and when he came to his room, Wu Huijue was already standing there.

Wu Mingche said with an iron face: "Shilang, I want to kill Wang Lin, why do you have such a reaction?" Listen to Huijue, at that time, you asked the people of the musket team to raise their guns and aim at the executioner, is it just like Wang Lin, you are acting, in order to find out his secret? Or are you really going to prepare to rob prisoners and rob people? ”

"Shiro just thinks that Wang Lin shouldn't die like this! Maybe Shiro is too kind to a woman, I don't care about a defeated general, I don't care if he dies or not; Or maybe Shiro is afraid of trouble and doesn't want to bring a lot of trouble because of his death! You must know that Wang Lin is the leader of the Jianghu Alliance in the legend! Wang Lin was captured by my own hands, and if Wang Lin's death was relied on by them, I don't want to beware of assassins' assassination! Xiao Yao replied coldly.

"Alas, Shiro, you are still young, you do things according to likes and dislikes, you only see many things on the surface, but you can't see the intricate relationships inside!" Wu Mingche shook his head and sighed: "I really want to kill Wang Lin, and now I do do do it, but the reason why I killed him is not because he has defeated me, of course, I want to kill him all the time, but when the emperor's holy decree came, I still let him leave Shouyang City alive!" But the reason I decided to kill him was because I didn't want my generals to have illusions about him! ”

"I have been fighting with Wang Lin for more than ten years, and I am an opponent and a confidant! He is a person who values love and righteousness, and his subordinates are like brothers, so many of his subordinates are willing to follow him, and as a confidant, I also admire him. But as an opponent, I am very jealous of him! What's more, there are still many of his old troops in our army! You must know that now we are at war with the Qi country, and he is the chief general of the Qi army, we are enemies, isn't being merciful to the enemy cruel to ourselves? It is impossible for Wang Lin to surrender to our Da Chen, if he does not die, then it is possible for him to flee back to the Qi State, or even to the Zhou State and the Liang State, and then regroup and fight with us again! ”

"Today, I see so many soldiers seeing off Wang Lin, my heart is a little scared, I believe that my subordinates are loyal soldiers, and they will never show mercy when they fight, but I am not sure that no one will have a different heart and will defect to Wang Lin again! Therefore, only by killing Wang Lin and cutting off these rao illusions, can we cut off all future troubles, and no longer have to worry about being busy fighting with Wang Lin in the Yangtze River like ten years ago, but we have not been able to get out of the Jianghuai region, attack Zhouqi, and recover the Central Plains! Wu Mingche said excitedly.

"Shiro, do you know why I'm going to talk to you alone? Those generals outside cried so much when they heard that Wang Lin was dead, I didn't bother to talk to them, but you are different! You are our hope! With you and infantry battalions in our Northern Expedition, our wish to recover the Central Plains can be realized! Wang Lin was captured by you with your own hands, I don't know what he did with you during the time he was imprisoned in the infantry battalion, which made you pay so much attention to him, someone is related to King Xing, but I don't want to know, because now that he is dead, you have to concentrate on the battle, don't be affected by these so-called morality and legends of the rivers and lakes! Wu Mingche said emotionally.

"Shiro understands the hard work of the governor! Shiro did go a little too far this time! I'm sorry Dudu, I'm sorry Wu Gongzi! Please forgive Shiro for being impulsive at that time! Xiao Yao said guiltily,

"If only you understood! Shiro, even if Hui Jue is here now, I am not afraid of you, I have always treated you as if you were my own son, and even I love you more than Hui Jue, because you are talented! The Northern Expedition to Qi has also been fighting for half a year, in this half a year, your performance has dazzled everyone's eyes, and it also proves that I am very correct to make an exception to recruit you into the army, I hope you really want to put aside all distractions, put aside those party struggles in the Jinling court, use your talents in combat, continue to fight bravely for the army, and recover the Central Plains! Wu Mingche instructed.

"Yes! Shiro will definitely put aside all distractions, continue to fight bravely, continue to make meritorious achievements, and live up to the love of the governor! Xiao Yao also said firmly.

"Good! I believe that Shiro is a man who does it all! With all that said, let's get down to business! Although we have recovered Shouyang, our Northern Expedition cannot be stopped yet, what do you think should be the next direction of our offensive? Wu Mingche asked.

"Although Pi Jinghe was scared away by us and left a lot of armaments and baggage, his 30,000 soldiers are still there, and they all fled back to Xuzhou, and we have also suffered a lot of casualties here in order to recover Shouyang, so with our current men and horses, we can't immediately attack Huaibei and recover Xuzhou! Therefore, our direction should be in the area of Chenliu and Runan. "As a soldier with great ambitions, Xiao Yao has certainly done his homework and carefully studied the map.

"That's right! Great minds think alike! We are now heavily stationed in Shouyang, we can go north along Yingshui, recover Chenliu, and lay a foothold for us in the Huaibei region, and when we recover, we can attack Xuzhou from the west and south at the same time, and completely take the entire Huaibei! Now that you are the commander of the Forward Battalion, I have decided to send you to lead the Forward Battalion to attack Chenliu and set off on a certain day! Go back and get ready! Wu Mingche said with a smile.

"Yes! This time, Shiro will definitely make all the preparations and take down Chen Liu in one fell swoop, and live up to the expectations of the governor! Xiao Yao also said with confidence.
