Chapter 559: Ma Wu's Death (4,000 words)
Ma Wu's passionate speech, the Tiger Benjun completely became boiling.
"Advance and retreat together, live and die together!"
"Will not be subject to the foreign monarch's order, and it will be self-contained!"
"Self-contained!"
To escape the punishment of the court, it seems that the only way to escape from the control of the court is to make a desperate bet.
The court did not send military rations, but would impose punishments on those who robbed the grain, so the court should not do it.
It is expected that if you want to break away from the control of the court, everyone will not have to be punished, and you will have meat to eat and drink wine with Ma Wu, and you will live a comfortable life, and you can't help but raise your wine glass and keep shouting, as if you have won a battle.
Ma Wu drank wine with a smile, looking at the enthusiastic and unrestrained appearance of the Tiger Benjun, he couldn't help but snicker in his heart.
Today, the Tiger Ben Army proposes to advance and retreat together, live and die together, dare to be self-contained, and dare to refuse the imperial order.
When the court continues to refuse to distribute food, and the robbery of the Tiger Ben army becomes a habit, this army will completely break away from the control of the Zhao court and become his personal army.
At that time, the chaos of Zhao happened to create an opportunity for him to open up his territory.
For a while, the corners of Ma Wu's mouth couldn't help but show a faint smile,
I couldn't help but walk into the Tiger Army, raised my wine glass and said: "Today, the food and food are enough, the water and wine must be controlled, the Yan Army is still there, and we can't let the other party seize the opportunity." ”
"General rest assured!"
"If you are full of wine and food, the Yan army dares to come, and you will definitely kill them."
At this time, the Tiger Benjun who was in high spirits toasted Ma Wu one after another, feeling the respect of the Tiger Benjun from the bottom of his heart, and he enjoyed it.
I couldn't help but sigh secretly, if I really have milk, I am a mother, and if I solve the matter of food, the Tiger Ben Army will get along with him so quickly, and it seems that completely controlling the Tiger Ben Army is just around the corner, and it doesn't take too much time.
When Zhao Mu summons him to return to Handan City, he will have the strength to contend with the other party.
"General, we respect you!" While thinking about it, three tiger soldiers came up with wine glasses and said with a smile on their faces.
"Drink!"
Ma Wu said happily, raised his head, and drank full.
At this moment, the Tiger Army's welcome and respect for him was far greater than he had expected, and perhaps, in a shorter period of time, he would be able to control this force.
"Poof!"
When drinking, Ma Wu still wanted to control the Tiger Benjun, but unexpectedly, when the wine was warmed, he intuitively felt that something cold pierced his neck, and when he drank the wine in his mouth, he was choked and spit out, spraying it in the wine glass, full of red.
Ma Wu turned his head incredulously, looked at the tiger army beside him, and before he could speak, he was pierced in the abdomen by a cold weapon.
In an instant, he knew what was going on, assassination, someone was going to assassinate him!
In a panic, he tried to escape, but he was restrained by the tiger army behind him, his whole body could not move, and in the blink of an eye, two more knives stabbed into his body.
With a tragic knife wound, it is impossible for Ma Wu to escape death!
At this time, the tiger army let go of him, raised his arm high, revealing a blood-dripping short knife, and said loudly: "Ma Wu betrayed Zhao and tried to return to Handan City to assassinate the emperor, this is a crime that deserves death, and we are here to kill it on the emperor's orders!" ”
For a while, the lively and jubilant camp was quiet, and everyone did not know the reason for the matter at all, let alone expected that not long ago, the general, who was ambitious and high-spirited, and was ready to live and die with everyone, actually plotted against him.
Killing the king, this is a big crime of stealing the family and exterminating the clan, didn't Ma Wu kill himself?
Hu Benjun suddenly realized, no wonder Ma Wu tricked everyone into grabbing food, and when everyone was worried about being blamed by the court, he proposed to disobey the orders of the foreign monarchs, so that everyone could join together and become one, and everything he did was imperceptibly encouraging everyone to rebel.
At this time, the Tiger Ben Army who assassinated Ma Wu calmly took out the holy decree from his bosom, held it high in the air, and glanced at the Tiger Ben Army under the high platform.
When the soldiers saw the holy decree, they couldn't help kneeling on the ground, and the general holding the holy decree kicked the scarred Ma Wu off the high platform.
The holy decree was read out loudly: "Ma Wu formed a party for personal gain, secretly colluded with the thief Zhao Shide, tried in vain to subvert the Zhao State, and assassinated the emperor, such a disobedient act is an unforgivable crime!" ”
When everyone heard the voice, they didn't dare to speak, and everyone was almost deceived by Ma Wu before, believing his words and helping to abuse.
Even though the usurpation of the throne never happened, because he couldn't bear to be hungry, he ignored military regulations and grabbed food privately, causing irreparable losses to the people of Qingyang County.
If the court investigates it, tens of thousands of tiger soldiers will be punished.
When Ma Wu was not assassinated, everyone took risks in order to escape the blame, and colluded with Ma Wu, and they may not be famous.
At present, Ma Wu was assassinated, and his injuries were so serious that even if everyone rose up to avoid punishment, he was in a leaderless position.
"My lord, what happened before ......"
The Tiger Benjun raised his head, looked at the person who read the holy decree, and asked in a panic, but in his words, he did not dare to talk about robbing the people of their food reserves.
"Those who don't know are not guilty, Ma Wu wolf is ambitious, and he bewitches everyone to rob the people of food, after the emperor learned about it, Long Yan was furious. However, considering the seriousness of the situation on the Eastern Front, everyone will not be held responsible. ”
"Thank the emperor for not killing!" The Tiger Benjun is grateful to Dade, and there is a feeling of escaping death.
At this moment, Ma Wu, who was covered in blood, half-squatted under the stage, staring at the person who announced the decree in Gao Taizhong, and asked unwillingly: "Why, why, why did this general collude with Zhao Shide, why didn't the emperor investigate in detail!" ”
If he had the idea of supporting the army and standing on his own, he admitted that saying that he colluded with Zhao Shide was completely made out of thin air and fabricated out of thin air.
What's even more shameful is that Zhao Mu didn't ask about the facts, didn't find out the facts, and directly sent someone to assassinate him.
Zhao Muzhi is ruthless, surpassing Liu Wenlong, and he has no humanity at all.
"Ma Wu, the emperor's edict, whether you obey it or not, you will definitely die today." The proclamator: "You need evidence, there will be, the court has already secretly mastered your crimes." ”
"If you want to add sin, there is no excuse!" Ma Wu said sadly. If he knew that Zhao Mu didn't want to see him, he wouldn't take refuge in Zhao, because the vassal states were so big, there would always be a place for him.
But now, the dust is back to dust, the earth is back to the earth, he is seriously injured, and there is no longer a chance to fight.
"Don't worry, you didn't die unjustly!" When the words fell, the other party directly raised the short knife and unceremoniously cut off Ma Wu's head.
Ma Wu was killed, and Zhao Chaotang quickly found out more than a dozen crimes, and at the same time sent the children of the Bai family to Qingyang County to take over the position of General Ma Wu and block the Yan army.
However, the pain caused by Ma Wu's death was unexpected and unbearable by Zhao Guochaotang!
In the imperial court, Zhao Mu and Xu Wenhao all thought that there was full evidence, but not long after Ma Wu was killed, rumors spread in Handan City that Ma Wu was framed, and the court secretly sent someone to assassinate Ma Wu without investigation.
Some people even put the evidence outside Yu Qianhang's mansion, if it weren't for Yu Qianhang's clear that Ma Wu's death had a great connection with his friend Xu Wenhao, he would not hesitate to hand over the letter to Zhao Mu.
At this point, Yu Qianhang took the lead in guessing why Ma Wu died and what the other party's ultimate goal was.
According to his estimates, most of the people confused the public, fabricated false evidence, framed Ma Wu first, and after Ma Wu was killed, if he handed over the letter to Zhao Mu.
Hui Wenhao will most likely become a scapegoat because of the unfavorable investigation and in order to appease the panic of the army.
The generals were assassinated, the Wenchen was killed, the Zhao Dynasty Wenchen and the military generals suffered heavy losses, and they will fall into a panic.
It will be more difficult for the court to dispatch two legions!
Yu Qianhang had to admire the person in charge behind the conspiracy, his meticulous thinking and ruthless methods were very comparable.
In the next few days, Yu Qianhang thought that he had concealed the letter and that things would not make waves again, but unexpectedly, many court ministers received letters, which clearly described how the Yan army would deploy the plan.
Knowing that the matter could not be concealed, Yan Jun was blatantly humiliating Zhao Mu, completely angering him, and pulling Xu Wenhao out as a scapegoat.
This move will not only make the court tremble and tremble, but more importantly, it will completely prove Zhao Mu's incompetence.
Yu Qianhang didn't dare to hesitate, and quickly went to Handan Palace, trying to explain this matter to Zhao Mu, and at the same time exonerate Xu Wenhao.
In the palace, Zhao Mu had already learned the news and knew that he was teased by thieves and killed Ma Wu by mistake in an attempt to recover his losses.
Feeling humiliated, he was in a hurry, spurting blood continuously, and after falling unconscious, he just woke up not long ago.
Xu Wenhao ignored his old body and knelt outside Zhao Mu's study.
Ma Wu's death, he bears an unshirkable responsibility, if it weren't for his gullibility, suspicion of Ma Wu, and without detailed investigation of evidence, he instigated the emperor to secretly assassinate Ma Wu.
Perhaps, Yan Guo's situation on the Eastern Front would not be so passive, and it would not arouse the suspicion of the court among generals such as the Northern and Southern Daying, Li Mu, and Feng Zixiu.
After entering the palace, Yu Qianhang saw Xu Wenhao taking the initiative to ask for guilt, and felt very sorry, not that Xu Wenhao was too incompetent, but that Yan Jun was too cunning.
Against Zhao Mu's anger, Yu Qianhang entered the palace!
Told all the speculation and analysis to Zhao Mu, and understood the cause and effect of the incident, Zhao Mu did not kill Xu Wenhao, nor did he punish him at all, on the contrary, he still convicted Ma Wu.
He knew that killing Ma Wu by mistake had caused a lot of losses to Zhao State, but, according to the news sent back by the spies, Ma Wu encouraged the Tiger Ben Army to break away from the Zhao State court.
Based on this crime alone, Ma Wu will definitely die.
It's just that he was aggrieved and annoyed, he usually boasted that he was thoughtful, and the city was very deep, and even Zhao Shide's old fox was calculated by him, but in the end, he didn't see the trap laid by Yan Guo clearly.
This time, Ma Wu was killed, and the children of the Bai family were full of enthusiasm and ambition to serve the country, but they had no experience in leading troops.
Lin Xiao, the general of the Yan Army, is young, but he is a fierce general on the battlefield, and whether the children of the Bai family can stop the Lin Xiao army has no reliability.
However, Zhao Mu finally underestimated the harm caused by the incident, and when the news of Ma Wu's killing reached Ningwu Pass, it was inevitable that Zhao Jun's camp would be in the camp.
Zhang Boling, Yan Wushuang, Gu Hao and other generals completely exploded.
Previously, Zhao Mu's attempt to get Li Mu to hand over the military power caused Zhang Boling and other generals to be extremely dissatisfied and vigilant.
Now, Ma Wu was assassinated by the spies sent by the court in front of tens of thousands of tiger soldiers, which once again made Zhang Boling, Yan Wushuang and other generals shudder, and even Li Mu felt that he could not have a deep friendship with Zhao Mu.
Regardless of whether Ma Wu was in contact with Zhao Shide or not, no matter how much harm Ma Wu brought to the people of Qingyang County by indulging the Tiger Ben army under his command to steal grain, the court had a decree and could completely deal with Ma Wu in accordance with the law.
Sending spies from the imperial court to assassinate Ma Wu in front of the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army did have the effect of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger and killing the chickens and setting an example for the monkeys, but it also made the Hu Ben Army see the roughness of the court's practices.
What's more, most of Ma Wu's crimes have no direct evidence, Zhao Mu directly killed Ma Wu, it is obvious that Ma Wu's collusion with Zhao Shide is just a pretense, eliminating dissidents, gathering military power, and strengthening himself is Zhao Mu's real intention.
The more Li Mu thought about it, the more terrifying he felt, if Zhao Mu also planted spies in the Tiger Ben Army in Ningwu Pass, the words and deeds of the generals of the whole army had no secrets to say, and everyone could still be assassinated anytime and anywhere.
It was as if someone was secretly pulling a longbow, and the long arrow was pointed directly at his eyebrows, and there were death threats all the time, but when the other party shot him, he couldn't guess.
"General, what should I do, Ma Wu's death is by no means the beginning, let alone the end!" Zhang Boling was the first to speak and asked about his next plans.
He didn't want to starve on the front line, and when he was fighting for the Zhao State, there were people in the rear hiding in a small dark room to calculate himself, thinking about how to take his life.
If he continued to work for Zhao Mu stupidly, wouldn't he be ready to let the other party sell himself and count the money to the other party?
"Zhao Mu is indeed ruthless, calculating Zhao Shide a year ago, and assassinating Ma Wu a year later, all signs show that Zhao Mu is insidious and cunning, unscrupulous for his own interests, and dares to sacrifice anyone." Li Mu sighed.
Looking at the map hanging on the screen, he said very aggrievedly: "I didn't expect that the former northern overlord commanded the vassal states, and in a few years, the throne was replaced, and the national strength declined, and now he doesn't give me a place to stay." ”
Li Mu did not put forward any constructive suggestions, but in his words, he was very disappointed in Zhao Mu,
At present, they are in a situation, if they want to betray Zhao State, they can only switch to Yan State, because the current army of more than 100,000 is defended by the Yan army, including the entire Zhao State is also defended by the Yan army.
However, in Li Mu's view, after the decline of the Zhao State, only the Song State was qualified to compete for hegemony.
The rise of the Yan Kingdom is fast, but it is like building a house, and high-rise buildings are quickly built, but there is no solid foundation, it cannot withstand the wind and rain, and it may collapse at any time.
On the contrary, before the Song State fought for hegemony, it had become the richest vassal state in the north, with a powerful mechanical legion.
Before the end of the year, and the annexation of the Liang State, the land area increased dramatically, the national strength and population also grew rapidly, and the current joint attack on the Zheng State with the Chen State, once successful, the Song State across the east and west, dominating the Central Plains, the Yan State can not help the other party.
At that time, the Tiger Army was under the protection of the Yan Army, and even though there was the idea of breaking away from the Zhao State and defecting to the Song State, it was difficult for the army to get rid of the Yan Army.
Moreover, after the spring blossoms, the Yan army rested for several months, and the murderous spirit came, and it was not a simple matter to escape from the Yan army's sphere of influence.
If there is no perfect plan, it is very likely that they did not escape from the encirclement of the Yan army, but the Tiger Ben army was all killed.
Moreover, the current situation in the north is unclear, and the Tiger Ben army has not been forced by Zhao Mu to have no way out, at this moment, Li Mu delayed Zhao Mu, but he did not have the iron heart to break away from Zhao State, after all, in this land, there is a shadow of his former conquest.
