Chapter 10: The Death of Pu Mu
Zhang Shiwu rode out of the Mobu camp and returned to the Thorn Mansion.
"Envoy, Wang Liang, the captain of the Mobu camp, robbed the people's daughters and brought those women to the Mobu camp." Zhang Shi Wu said.
When Yu Shengwei heard this, he asked angrily, "Where is Wang Liangyu now?" ”
"I asked Qian Diwang in the next place, Wang Liangyu is in Ruizhou City, and he doesn't know where it is."
"Shiwu, you take five hundred soldiers and divide them into ten teams to search for Wang Liangyu in the city. Caught him and immediately brought him to the Thorn Mansion. ”
"No."
Two quarters of an hour later, Zhang Shiwu escorted Wang Liangxuan into the Assassin's Mansion.
Yu Shengwei asked Wang Liangyu: "According to the military law of my Ruizhou Army, what crime should those who rob the people's women be committed?" ”
Wang Liangyu's frightened face was like earth, knelt on the ground, and said, "Sin should be beheaded." Please make the villain spare his life, the villain will never dare again. ”
"Wang forgiveness, you have violated the military law of the Ruizhou Army, I will not spare you! Shiwu, do it! Yu Shengwei said.
Zhang Shiwu pulled out the long knife, raised and fell with his hand, and cut off Wang Liangyu's head.
At this time, the doorman came in and said, "Envoy, General Qian Diwang is asking to see you outside the door, and Captain Yin is also here." ”
"Let the two of them in."
Qian Diwang entered the mansion and saw that Wang Liangyu had been beheaded, so he hurriedly knelt down and said: "Envoy, the last general is not strict in disciplining his subordinates, so such a thing happened, please make the king punish the last general." ”
Yu Shengwei sneered and ordered: "Drag Qian Diwang out of the mansion and behead him!" ”
Yin Ling knelt down and said: "Envoy, General Qian is guilty, but the crime is not to death, please make Jun spare General Qian's life." ”
Yu Shengwei actually didn't want to kill Qian Diwang, and when he saw someone coming out to plead, he said: "Qian Diwang, you can avoid the death penalty, but the living crime cannot be escaped." Shi Wu, lead someone to drag him outside the gate of the mansion, and beat him with forty military sticks! ”
Qian Diwang was beaten with forty sticks, and the pain was unbearable, and Yin Rong drove him back to the Mobu camp in a carriage. It took more than a month for Qian Diwang to recover from his injuries.
"Captain Yin, General Ben has to thank you very much, that day in the Assassin's Mansion, if it wasn't for your intercession, I would have died, I will always remember your life-saving grace." Qian Diwang said.
Yin Ling said: "I really didn't expect that the envoy would order the general to be beheaded that day, and I was also upset about the general at that time." Dare to ask, general, have you offended the envoy before? ”
Qian Diwang thought for a moment and said, "I have never offended the envoy. Alas, I have followed him for more than ten years, and I have still blocked his arrows in the midst of the chaos. I didn't expect him to kill me because of a trivial matter, it really chills me! ”
"Before coming down to the Mobu camp, the envoy said a few words to Zaixia, I don't know if to say it or not?"
"Captain Yin, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
"The envoy said that the general, you are so happy, you are brave and unscrupulous, you are a reckless man, and you have long been tired of you. He also said that he would remove your position as the main general and let him be the main general. ”
When Qian Diwang heard this, he was furious, and asked sharply, "Did he really say that?" ”
"To tell the truth, I don't dare to deceive the general." Yin Rong replied.
Qian Diwang nodded and said, "Captain Yin, I heard that you used to be a guest of the Marquis Shengying's mansion, why did you come to join Yu Shengwei?" ”
"When I came down to Yu Shengwei, I wanted to follow the Ming Lord and establish a career. After coming, I found out that Yu Shengwei was not the master, he was narrow-minded, jealous and jealous, but he was just a mediocre talent who sold his reputation and reputation! Now I regret it. ”
Qian Diwang asked in a low voice, "Brother Yin, do you think I am a person who has achieved great things?" ”
Yin Rong laughed out loud and replied, "General, you have both wisdom and bravery, and you can definitely achieve great things." In the future, I am willing to follow the general and go to the soup and fire, and I will not hesitate! ”
"Good! I want to lead the troops into Ruizhou City and get rid of Yu Shengwei, so that I will become the lord of Ruizhou. Qian Diwang said proudly.
"General, you only have five thousand people, it is difficult for you to enter Ruizhou City. There is a plan to kill Yu Shengwei. ”
"Tell me about it."
"The general will send a trustworthy person to the Assassin Mansion now, and tell Yu Shengwei that we have built a new batch of siege equipment, and invite him to come to the Mobu camp to inspect it. When Yu Shengwei entered the camp, we closed the camp gate and surrounded Yu Shengwei, so that he became a turtle in the urn, and it was easy to kill. Yin Ling said.
"Good strategy! Just do as you say, and I'll send someone to assassinate Shifu. ”
Early the next morning, Yu Shengwei took Pu Mu and Zhang Shiyu to the camp gate of the Mobu camp, and behind them, eighty personal soldiers followed.
Qian Diwang greeted him, hugged his fists and said, "The last general has seen the envoy." ”
Yu Shengwei and everyone got off the horse and followed Qian Diwang into the camp, and when he was about to reach the Chinese military tent, Qian Diwang turned around, pulled out his knife, and stared at Yu Shengwei with his eyes.
"Qian Diwang! What do you do with your knife drawn? Yu Shengwei asked sharply.
Qian Diwang laughed and said, "Yu Shengwei, I want to be the lord of Ruizhou, I must kill you today!" After speaking, he waved his hand, and the soldiers in the battalion surrounded Yu Shengwei and his party.
Yu Shengwei looked at the soldiers around him and scolded, "What do you want to do? I'm Ruizhou Thorn History, put down your weapons! ”
Some of the soldiers heard this and threw their weapons on the ground.
Qian Diwang was furious and shouted: "You can't put down your weapon, kill me!" After speaking, he swung his knife and took Yu Shengwei directly, Zhang Shiwu drew a long knife to block him, and the two fought.
When the soldiers saw that the main general had made a move, they all killed him, and the soldiers drew their swords to fight to the death, desperately protecting Yu Shengwei.
Seeing this, Yin Ling wanted to take this opportunity to kill Yu Shengwei. He pulled out his sword and rushed into the formation to stab Yu Shengwei directly, Yu Shengwei was fighting with his sword, not realizing that the danger was approaching him.
Pu Mu saw Yin Ling stabbing at Yu Shengwei, he pushed Yu Shengwei away violently, but he was stabbed in the left chest. Pu Mu grabbed the blade tightly with both hands, preventing Yin Rong from pulling the knife back. Yu Shengwei turned around and swung his sword and slashed, slashing Yin Rong's right shoulder, Yin Rong saw that the situation was not good, let go of the hilt, and fled in chaos.
Zhang Shiwu and Qian Diwang fought for more than ten rounds, but Qian Diwang couldn't resist and was slashed to the ground by Zhang Shiwu.
"Commander Zhang, spare my life." Qian Diwang pleaded.
Zhang Shiwu didn't say a word, and slashed off Qian Diwang's head with a knife. He held Qian Diwang's head in his hand and shouted loudly: "Qian Diwang has been beheaded by me, don't you put down your weapon, surrender quickly!" ”
When the soldiers of the Mobu battalion saw that the lord was about to be beheaded, they all put down their weapons, knelt on the ground, and begged Yu Shengwei to spare their lives. At this time, there were only more than 20 personal soldiers left by Yu Shengwei's side.
Yu Shengwei knelt on the ground, hugged Pu Mu, and cried and said, "Old man, I'll let someone call the doctor, you have to hold on." ”
Pu Mu shook his head and said in a weak voice: "No need, the old decay is exhausted." Envoy, Yin Rong must be an assassin sent by Ling Ju. Tell Mo Yuan, don't be in a hurry to avenge me, don't be in a hurry to crusade against Ling Ju, it is difficult to defeat Ling Ju with the Ruizhou army alone. It is necessary to unite Cen Liangzhi and march at the same time, so that it is possible to win. When I die, bury me at the foot of Mengxian Mountain, and don't bury me with treasures. After saying that, Pu Mu died of anger.
"Shiwu, you go after Yin Rong and bring his head to see me, I want to use his head to pay tribute to Mr. Pu!" Yu Shengwei said.
"No!"
In the Assassin's Mansion, Yu Moyuan knelt in front of Pu Mu's coffin, weeping in pain, and he fainted from crying when he didn't eat water and rice for a day and a night. When the servants saw this, they hurriedly carried him into the bedroom.
When Yu Moyuan woke up, he saw his father and two sworn brothers standing in front of the bed.
"Father, did you catch Yin Rong?" Yu Moyuan asked.
Yu Shengwei shook his head and said, "He ran away, Moyuan, we can catch him sooner or later and break him into ten thousand pieces!" ”
Luan Yimian said: "Big brother, don't be too sad, beware of crying." ”
Huangfu Sui brought a bowl of hot porridge and said, "Big brother, this is the porridge that the second brother cooked with my own hands, you can drink it while it's hot." ”
Yu Moyuan took the porridge and drank it in one go.
Outside the north gate of Ruizhou City, Yu Moyuan personally drove the carriage to the north, the carriage carried Pu Mu's coffin, and Huangfu Sui and Luan Yimian rode horses to follow behind the carriage. They are going to Mengxian Mountain and bury Pu Mu there.
Approaching the climate at the foot of Mengxian Mountain, a burly young man came over and knelt in front of the carriage, the young man was dressed in linen and filial piety, and his eyes were red and swollen.
Huangfu Sui stepped forward and asked Yu Moyuan: "Big brother, who is he?" ”
"He is my junior brother, named Zong Yanxiao." As he spoke, Yu Moyuan jumped out of the carriage, stepped forward, and helped his junior brother.
The two brothers buried the master and erected a tombstone.
Zong Yanxiao asked, "Senior brother, when are you going to raise troops to avenge your master?" ”
"In ten days, I will lead the troops to crusade against Ling, junior brother, you can go back to Ruizhou City with me." Yu Mo said from afar.
Zong Yanxiao nodded and said, "Senior brother, I want to follow you to crusade against the thieves!" ”
Yin Ling fled back to Yinghui City overnight and found Situ Zhan. Situ Zhan led Yin Rong to the General's Mansion.
"Yin Zhuangshi, how are things going?" Ling asked.
Yin Ling knelt on the ground and replied: "General, I could have killed Yu Shengwei in the next place, but his advisor Pu Mu blocked a knife for him, so he couldn't succeed. ”
"Pu Mu? How is he? ”
"Pu Mu must be dying at this time."
When Ling Ji heard this, he stepped forward to help Yin Rong and said, "Although you failed to get rid of Yu Shengwei, you killed Pu Mu, which is also a great achievement!" This Pu Mu, scheming, is Yu Shengwei's chief strategist, he died, and Yu Shengwei had a broken arm. With that, he burst out laughing.
Situ Zhanyan said: "General, Pu Mu is Yu Moyuan's master, they have a deep master-apprentice relationship, and I think that Yu Moyuan will definitely raise troops to avenge his master, so we have to prepare early." ”
"What the gentleman said is very true. The Ruizhou army does not have many troops, and Yu Moyuan dares to march eastward, that is, to hit the stone with an egg, and I will let him have no return. I waited for him to come, but I was afraid that he would not come. ”
Situ Zhan thought for a while and said: "I will write a war letter in the name of the general and order someone to send it to the Ruizhou Assassin's Mansion." Yu Shengwei and his son read the war book, and they will definitely lead troops to avenge Pu Mu. The Ruizhou army is good at defending the city, but it is not good at attacking the city, and their combat effectiveness is even worse in the field, so we just take this opportunity to exterminate the Ruizhou army. ”
