Chapter 870: Coffin Nail
After the flood subsided, Sima Shi led his troops to Shouchun City, accepted the surrender of the Huainan Army, and settled in Shouchun City.
Wang Feixiao and Wang Jinhu also took the initiative to open the city and surrender after receiving the news that Wang Ling was safe and sound and was treated as guests.
If something happens to Wang Ling, Wang Feixiao and Wang Jinhu are ready to fight to the death, even if they can't resist Sima Jun, they will never surrender easily, vowing to fight to the end and live and die with Shouchun City.
Now seeing that Wang Ling is safe and sound, Wang Feixiao and Wang Jinhu also gave up resistance, disarmed and surrendered, which was also agreed between them and Wang Ling in advance.
When Sima Shi led the army into Shouchun City, he behaved very peacefully, and ordered not to kill a person without permission, not to move a thing without permission, and Sima Jun's military discipline was strict, so that the people of Shouchun were praised.
However, the good life of Shouchun City did not last many days, and after the Huainan Army surrendered and controlled Shouchun City, Sima Shi suddenly changed his face and ordered Wang Feixiao, Wang Jinhu and all the backbone generals of the Huainan Army to be arrested.
This move immediately caused an uproar in Shouchun City, but the Sima Army, who controlled the overall situation, still easily suppressed the situation, after all, the Huainan Army, which had lost its weapons, had lost the capital to resist, and even if there was temporary restlessness, it would be brutally suppressed by the Sima Army.
What's more, Sima Shi is only doing something to Wang Ling's cronies and descendants, which is also the best way to get rid of Wang Ling's forces in Huainan, after all, Wang Ling has been running Huainan for many years, and his forces are intertwined, if he can't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, it is very likely that he will resurrect in the future, endangering the safety of Huainan.
The reason why Sima Yi devoted all his strength to suppressing Wang Ling's rebellion was because the place of Huainan was too important to be lost.
After eradicating Wang Ling's forces this time, Sima Yi was still not at ease, and planned to transfer the army originally stationed in Huainan and the army in Xuzhou, Qingzhou, to ensure that it was just in case.
Wang Chang was appointed as the new general of Zhengnan and concurrently served as the governor of Yangzhou, while Zhuge Dan, the assassin of Xuzhou, was appointed as the assassin of Yangzhou, and the two would reconstruct the Huainan defense line.
As for Wang Ling's descendants and cronies, they were all escorted to Luoyang, waiting for their fate, which would also be to abandon the city in half, and Sima Yi had never been soft on his political enemies.
Wang Feixiao and Wang Jinhu were captured, and they had lost control of the army, leaving them powerless, and they didn't even have the slightest chance to resist.
Although this was already a predictable result in advance, after being thrown into the prison car, Wang Feixiao and Wang Jinhu still secretly regretted that it was better to fight vigorously than to end up like this, but not to die strongly.
But now people are swordsmen, and I am fish and meat, only to the point of being slaughtered, so I am naturally very aggrieved in my heart.
Before they died, Wang Feixiao and Wang Jinhu still wanted to see Wang Ling again, and since Wang Ling surrendered, they had no chance to see each other again.
It's a pity that this willingness is not taken care of by anyone, after Wang Feixiao and Wang Jinhu were put in the prison car, except for a few jailers who were silent like dumb people who delivered food to them on time every day, no one else could see them, even if they shouted and broke their throats, no one answered.
Wang Ling's treatment is much better than his two sons, at least he still has a tent to live in, wine to drink, and meat to eat, in addition to the strict security outside, Wang Ling's conditions and treatment are not much worse than before, and there is a world of difference from the prisoners.
But there is no freedom but Wang Ling is irritable, the outside of the tent is heavily guarded, the place where Wang Ling can move is such a tent, occasionally change places, but also can only stay in the car, except for a few people who deliver food every day, Wang Ling can't contact anyone.
Seeing that the weather is gradually getting cooler, Wang Ling doesn't know what the situation outside has become, whether his two sons are still alive, and whether the soldiers and civilians in Huainan are safe and sound?
But it's a pity that he is now a blind man, a deaf man, unable to see anything, unable to hear anything, and those who serve him and the guards seem to be deaf and dumb by nature, turning a deaf ear to Wang Ling's questioning, ignoring them at all, and just doing what they should do on their own.
There was no doubt that they had been instructed by the above and did not dare to have any verbal communication with Wang Ling.
After being under house arrest for a long time, Wang Ling naturally inevitably thought wildly, originally he surrendered with a certain heart of death, but Sima Yi's warm attitude made Wang Ling wonder, Sima Yi neither killed him nor let him go, just kept him under house arrest, what does it mean for him to fall in the end?
Every once in a while, Sima Yi would send a messenger to see Wang Ling's situation, but that's all, Wang Ling couldn't get any useful news from the envoy's mouth, and the envoy's tone was too tight.
Wang Ling was unwilling to spend so much time, so he proposed to the envoy: "I am almost old, and I know that my time is short, so I also asked Mrs. Sima to give me a few coffin nails and let me prepare for the future in advance." ”
The envoy did not reply to him immediately, but said that he would explain it to Sima Yi.
The next day, when the envoy came to visit Wang Ling again, he really brought him a few coffin nails, which were the kind of thick and long seven-star nails used to nail coffins.
Wang Ling's face was immediately like ashes, he asked Sima Yi for the coffin nail, not really to nail the coffin, but to test whether Sima Yi really wanted him to die, if Sima Yi did not have the intention to kill him or did not have the intention to kill him for the time being, then he would definitely not send the coffin nail, but now Wang Ling will give it as soon as he asks for it, which means that Sima Yi has already had a murderous intention, and there is not much time left for him.
Wang Ling was silent, facing the coffin nails, he sat alone until dawn, he thought about it all night, and finally decided to commit suicide, although this decision was very difficult, but it was better than being put on the guillotine and executed.
At least this way of dying should be decent, after all, with Wang Ling's identity, it is better to die with dignity.
In fact, before Wang Ling surrendered, he had already hidden the most deadly Heding Red Poison on his body, just in case, and now that the matter has come to this, this poison has become Wang Ling's final destination.
Wang Ling calmly took out the package of Heding Red, poured it into the wine jug, and then poured a full glass, when he picked up the wine glass, Wang Ling still struggled and hesitated for a long time, the right hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly, but in the end he still raised his glass and drank it all.
