Chapter 425: Suspense
The rain failed to extinguish the raging fires in Hankou and Shuizhai, nor did it extinguish the revenge and anger of the Han army.
The steps to Wuchang set off as soon as the sky was bright, and as the sky was bright, the various units of the Han army came out of the camp and trampled on the mud.
Weapons and armor in the ruins of warehouses in Hankou City...... can only stay in the ruins, Wu Jun did not have time to clean up and clean.
Sun Quan's dragon boat giant ship also arrived at dawn, and he immediately boarded this giant battleship, which was taller than the ordinary Qiya flagship, which was almost the pinnacle of Jiangdong warship manufacturing.
Not only Sun Quan, but all units of the Wu army were like a group of monkeys who went to the bear cave to set fire, each of them reacted sensitively, boarded the ship to avoid it, and the two sides fired at each other on the shore.
Sun Quan can be said to be complacent, and sent someone to hold an apricot yellow flag to Dong Chong's head, and sent a handwritten letter.
"I want to go to Gangneung alone, and I don't commit anything along the way. Please also inform Guan Yunchang, don't be surprised. ”
Guan Ping was not in a good state, and Ma Chao sent this handwritten letter and a rough summary of the battle damage to Jiangdu...... Request Guan Yu's tactical guidance.
The generals gathered outside the east gate of Hankou, the northwest wind gradually overshadowed the southeast wind, fireworks and dust were filled, and the sight was mostly blue-gray.
Ma Chao was exhausted, his friend had died, and it was useless to grieve.
Now there is only a wisp of happiness left, but fortunately, he entrusted his son to Tian Xin before the expedition.
Even if Wu Jun dares to go ashore for a decisive battle, then let it go, and if he dies, he will vomit Sun Quan's blood.
Ma Liang, the left protector, led people to transport supplies and distribute grain and straw to the various armies preparing for battle, and felt that many military officials looked at him with malicious intent.
Is it really as Tian Xin said, his brother is not suitable for commanding the army?
In the city of Hankou, Guan Ping led people to collect and count the corpses of the fallen soldiers.
The remains of the former military Sima Deng Fu were found in front of the house near the east gate, and Deng Fu's identity was only judged from the armor, waist plate, and seal letter, and the suicide note that Deng Fu hid in the helmet had been burned.
As Deng Fu's remains were confirmed, the drowned body of Chen Lei, the former governor of the naval division and the general of Henghai, was also searched by the defeated officials and carried to the city of Hankou.
Counting Dong Chong, three generals were killed in World War I...... How many generals died in the entire Northern Expedition?
In the Han army of the battalion supervision and leadership system, every general is very precious; There are only ten official generals in the front army, the left army, and the right army combined, and there are no generals in the middle army and the rear army; Tian Xinbei Mansion was recognized by the imperial court, and there were only six generals with titles.
In addition to the general's loss, the officials who died tragically everywhere impacted Guan Ping's heart.
He finally understood why Tian Xin avoided fighting, and at this moment, he was on the verge of madness.
There is a faint kind of enlightenment...... Suicide should be committed while awake.
The current self, even if he is still alive, is by no means the posture he wants.
But what Xue Rong and others said makes sense, living is the most difficult, and it is simple to die, how can you escape as a husband?
Having said that, how can you face your father? Wife? Emperor? Soldiers' families?
If the battle is won, then no one will hold accountable for their actions in the war; But now that he has lost so badly, countless people will review the military book, analyze the cause and effect, hold themselves accountable, and then implicate their father.
The law of the land is intolerable.
This is to choose the law of the country or your own choice.
Zhang Wen is about to take office as Tingwei, such a big accountability review, as well as the sentencing sentence, will fall on Tingwei's mansion.
This will force Zhang Wen to kill himself!
Although the Han Dynasty does not have the tradition of overthrowing the army and killing generals, it can ...... There is a premise, pay money to redeem the capital crime, you are not short of money, but you have the face to live?
Thinking gradually clear, Guan Ping found pen and ink and began to write letters to everyone.
Then Guo Mu was found, and Guan Ping handed over these letters, feeling much calmer: "Guo Jun, this crime is so great that national law is intolerable. I don't want my father, Your Majesty, or filial piety to be embarrassed, nor do I want my father to be sad. But the matter has come to this point, and a decision must be made. ”
"Now there is only one wish, when I die, I will burn my body and bury Wudang with the soldiers. If you can't do your filial piety to your parents, you will not be filial; It is also very unfilial to let my parents see my remains. ”
After Guan Ping finished speaking, he looked up at the broken and burned roof, waiting for Guo Mu's reply.
Guo Mu's face was already blistered, but he couldn't help but persuade: "Junhou, this defeat is due to the sudden change in the weather, and the Junhou's fault is small, so he really shouldn't be responsible." General Fubo has already taken the guilt, and intends to live the monarch and marquis. Moreover, the Duke of Song returned to protect the prince, which is where the friendship between father and son lies, and it is natural. ”
Seeing that Guan Ping was silent, he persuaded again: "The servant has known Song Gong for more than 20 years, and today's matter, Song Gong Ning will reduce his title and protect the prince." If the prince and marquis take life and die, Song Gong will be angry, and he doesn't know how many people should be punished. ”
Guan Ping Meiyu is sad, death is not terrible, what is terrible is to make his parents sad.
Guo Mu comforted him again: "Prince, thirty years later, there are very few people who can persuade Chen Gong. For the long-term stability of the Han Dynasty, the prince should endure humiliation. ”
"Humph!"
Guan Ping snorted lightly and laughed at himself: "My life is no longer up to me to decide life and death." The imperial court wanted me to make meritorious service to compete with filial piety, and my father also had expectations, and Xue Rong, Li Sheng and others were running back and forth to make a name for me. ”
"Guo Jun, Guo Jun, I am tired, and the pain that Xiaoxian has experienced is tormenting me."
"If I spare my life, I will definitely become a sneaky villain, and I don't want to."
Guan Ping turned his head to look at Guo Mu, his eyes were unprecedentedly calm: "I should have died in the sea of fire with Deng Jun, but I shouldn't have lived an extra minute or second." ”
Seeing that Guo Mu was standing and not leaving, Guan Ping couldn't control his emotions and became excited: "I still have to worry about Guo Jun, when Amu is an adult, ask about this year's age, and ask Guo Jun to tell the truth." The one who killed me, Sun Quanye, is not someone else. ”
While speaking, Guan Ping forcibly endured his inexplicable agitated emotions: "Guo Jun, don't look at my ugliness." ”
"Yes, the servant is leaving."
Guo Mu blinked, took a few steps back, and then turned around.
A few steps after he walked out of the dilapidated house, Xue Rong and a few people nervously came up, and they were about to go to the house after Guo Mu.
saw Guan Ping stab his heart with a short dagger, slowly turned around and saw a few of them, showed a relieved smile, and fell back into the ruins.
"Prince!"
"Ah Ping!"
"Dingguo!"
"Husband?"
Vaguely hearing the call of Xue Rong and the others, and it seemed that she also heard the call of his wife's question, she seemed to be running in front of a cloud of white light, and suddenly stopped and turned to look, wondering if she hadn't followed.
This was followed by the shouts of Guan Ji and Guan Xing, mixed with the voice of the mother pleading and the father pretending to be majestic.
In the end, it seemed to see Tian Xin's figure, the surroundings were blurred, only Tian Xin's back of climbing forward and killing suddenly, it was the battle of Fancheng.
Then a string of more than a dozen arrows slashed against Tian Xin, and Tian Xin was hit by an arrow in his back and fell from the city.
I don't understand, what is Tian Xin doing so desperately?
So tired, and let yourself be so tired.
He should be very sad, and he will be many, many times more uncomfortable than Adou.
How much is a lot?
fell into a deep sleep, Guan Ping remained motionless, and Xue Rong rushed out and pulled these military doctors to run.
Guo Mu collapsed in the corner of the ruins, and when he looked up, he could see that a fruit tree had been burned with its branches and leaves, and only its branches were left in bare black. After a rain, new branches will sprout.
He squinted and looked blankly at the crowd of panicked and wailing people, and tears slipped from the corners of his eyes.
As Guan Yu's book, Guan Ping grew up watching him.
Gan Shu was disgraced, looking at everything ridiculous in front of him, I am afraid that only the Han army would have such a thing.
From the time Ding Feng attacked the left army camp at night, he seemed to have been drained of all his strength.
Guan Ping harmed himself, regardless of whether Xue Rong's gang could save Guan Ping back...... I don't feel sad or happy.
I am not familiar with Guan Ping, in fact, I am not familiar with Tian Xin, and I am not familiar with my nominal direct boss Guan Yu.
All this was exchanged by his father Gan Ning with his life from Tian Xin, but because Guan Ping's gang was greedy for merit, they forced Ding Feng, who tried to be obedient, to rebel again.
Ding Feng was completely black, and he also dyed himself black.
Gan Shu's eyes were empty, looking at the former army staff and officials running in front of him, and his heart was desolate...... I am afraid that I will not be able to tell or record the real reasons for this defeat in the future, or even defend myself.
