Chapter 45 The Netherworld Road is Cold, and I Want You to Cherish It
Makino Camp.
Ye Zhao did not take the countermeasure of encircling on all sides, after obtaining the support of grain and grass in Hanoi, Ye Zhao set up another camp in the big camp occupied by Wang Fen, compared to the original camp, this time Ye Zhao's camp is much smaller, after all, even with the reinforcements brought by Ding Li and Zhao Yun, Ye Zhao's current strength in his hands is only more than 5,000, far less than Wang Fen, and he does not have the ability to besiege, and the division of troops will only make it easy for Wang Fen to break through.
"Wen Zu!" In the tent of the Chinese army commander, Zhou Jing hurriedly came to Wang Fen with a solemn expression.
"Bad news?" Wang Fen's hair was a little unkempt, and his eyes were bloodshot, Ye Zhao did not rush to attack in the past two days, but chose to set up camp to confront, but Wang Fen didn't close his eyes much in the past two days.
Ye Zhao did this, he didn't think that Ye Zhao wanted to let him go, this was the crime of killing the king, he had something to do with Ye Zhao, but this time, the matter was too big, and the most important thing was that as the initiator of this incident, now that the matter has failed, he naturally has to bear the main responsibility.
Zhou Jing looked at Wang Fen's haggard face, and just nodded silently, he suddenly didn't know how to talk to Wang Fen.
"Say it." Wang Fen smiled bitterly, he could probably think of the current situation.
"The grain and grass were cut off, and officials and Haoqiang from all over Wei County and Zhao State broke off their relations with our army, and even took the initiative to send people and food to Ye Zhao, and our army ...... has been isolated, and now Ye Zhao is sending people outside the camp to shout in turn, inciting the soldiers in the camp, and now the people's hearts are fluctuating, I'm afraid it's ......" Zhou Jing looked at Wang Fen and said astringently: "The general trend has gone." ”
"The general trend?" Wang Fen laughed: "It was gone two days ago." ”
From the moment Ye Zhao rescued Liu Hong, their general trend had come to an end, and now they were just barely breathing, there were tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but at this moment, it was unknown whether these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses would still obey their orders.
"That Ye Zhao doesn't miss the old feelings at all, and that Xu Yu is not a son of man!" Zhou Jing hated the way.
If it weren't for Xu You's bad luck and running directly, they could get the news in time, and the situation might not have become so bad.
"Xiu Ming is not wrong, each is his own master." Wang Fen smiled bitterly and shook his head, this is really no wonder Ye Zhao.
"Why are you still speaking for him after all this time?" Zhou Jing said angrily.
Wang Fen shook his head, the current Ye Zhao, how can he say anything, after returning to Luoyang this time, maybe the official position will not be promoted again, but the status in Luoyang, as long as Liu Hong is in one day, no one can shake it.
"Report~" A small school broke in from outside the door in embarrassment.
Zhou Jing's face turned cold, and he snorted angrily: "There are no rules! ”
Wang Fen waved his hand, looked at Xiao Xiao Xiao and said, "What's the alarm!" ”
"Captain Zhang Li of the North Gate opened the door and surrendered, and the enemy army has already been killed!" Xiao Xiao glanced at Zhou Jing coldly, and bowed to Wang Fen.
"What!?" Zhou Jing was shocked and said angrily: "The slave who betrays the master......"
"Enough!" Wang Fen stood up, straightened his clothes and said: "We are rebellious now, and if we don't surrender, do we still want to be buried with us?" ”
"But ......" Zhou Jing was unwilling, this kind of betrayal was uncomfortable.
"Whoever deserves, come down!" Wang Fen stood up, looked at Xiao Xiao Xiao and said with a smile: "You are still willing to accompany Wang at this time, Wang is grateful, and you don't have to accompany Wang to give up your life in vain." ”
"Lord, I'm ......" The little colonel looked at Wang Fen, and a look of struggle flashed in his eyes.
"Go ahead!" Wang Fen waved his hand, with a few detachments on his face.
"Wen Zu, we still have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, far surpassing that Ye Zhao, and we may not have the strength to fight!" Zhou Jing saw that the little colonel turned around and left, and couldn't help but be anxious, and looked at Wang Fendao.
"You and I are not people who know the soldiers, the previous 30,000 troops were almost defeated by Ye Zhao, but now there are only 10,000 left, and there is no will to fight, how can we stop this famous general?" Looking at the empty tent, Wang Fen straightened his clothes, took a comb and combed his unkempt hair meticulously, turned his head to look at Zhou Jing and said, "Study, am I well-dressed?" ”
"Brother Wen, what are you ......" Zhou Jing frowned.
"I'm a scholar, even if it's dead, we should be decent, besides, goodbye old friends, if it's unkempt, wouldn't it be rude?" Zhou Jing smiled bitterly and looked at his dirty clothes, shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that this dress is not very neat, I hope Xiu Ming doesn't mind." ”
Wang Fen didn't seem to be going to die, but really going to see his old friend who he hadn't seen for many years, Zhou Jing suddenly felt a little sour in his nose, nodded fiercely and said: "What Brother Wen said is not bad, even if he dies, he can't lose my scholarly character." ”
Saying that he learned from Zhou Jing's appearance and tidied himself up, outside the tent, there would be a sound of fighting from time to time, but it was not violent, not long after, dense and neat footsteps came from outside the tent, and the little colonel came in from outside the door and said to Wang Fen: "Lord, everyone has dispersed." ”
"Why don't you go?" Wang Fen looked at the small school, this person is his confidant, but among Wang Fen's many henchmen, he is not the kind that Wang Fen attaches importance to, otherwise he would not be just a small school.
"The last general has no worries, the lord treats me well, and the last general is willing to follow the lord to the death." The little school bowed.
"Why bother?" Wang Fen looked at this little school, and suddenly found that he didn't remember the other party's name, shook his head and sighed.
"Although the last general has not read the book, but also knows the word loyalty, the lord is kind to me, and now the last general can not protect the lord to break through, it is a dereliction of duty, if you leave at this time, what is the difference with that beast?" Xiao Xiao Xiao smiled.
Zhou Jing looked at Xiao Xiaoxiao, and his ears suddenly became a little hot.
"Ancestor Wen, can you come out and talk about it?" Outside the camp, Ye Zhao's clear voice sounded.
Zhou Jing's face changed, but Wang Fen was calm and calm, and strode towards the outside of the tent, and Zhou Jing and the others hurriedly followed.
The sound of fighting in the camp did not stop, but it was very faint, to Wang Fen's surprise, outside the handsome tent, there was no soldier armor, only Ye Zhao stood outside the tent, and beside him was a tower-like man and a heroic young man about twenty years old.
"Ancestor Wen, when I said goodbye to Yecheng in the past, I didn't want to see you again today, but this is the situation." Ye Zhao sighed, looked at Wang Fen and smiled.
"Xiu Ming is becoming more and more handsome." Looking at Ye Zhao's angular appearance, Wang Fen couldn't help but think of the first time she saw Ye Zhao, although Ye Zhao was mature and stable at that time, but his face was still a little immature, but now that immaturity is gone, replaced by an indescribable calmness.
"Ye Xiuming, Liu Hong favored the traitors, causing chaos in the world, and now you are helping to abuse, aren't you afraid of becoming the finger of a thousand people?" Zhou Jing looked at Ye Zhao and gritted his teeth.
"Ye has always been upright, sitting upright, I have a clear conscience, as for how others see me, it's up to him! As for how the government is, Ye Moujie Wufu is inconvenient to discuss the government in vain. Ye Zhao glanced at Zhou Jing lightly and said.
"If Xiu Ming is a martial artist, I'm afraid he will make the world's corporal shameless." Wang Fen smiled: "It's a pity that you and I will be in such a situation today, otherwise, Fen would like to have a drink with Xiu Ming." ”
"Today, too." As soon as Ye Zhao stretched out his hand, two of his own guards ran out, carrying a jar of wine and wine buds to Wang Fen, and then retreated.
"Zhao was quite cared for by Wen Zugong in the past, but today's trend, in addition to giving Wen Zugong a decent way to die, Zhao can't do too much, after the death of the public, Zhao will bury Wen Zugong, but he can't be a public monument." Ye Zhao took the wine jar handed over by Dian Wei, patted the mud open, and said to Wang Fen: "Do it first for respect, Huangquan Road is cold, go to the netherworld, I hope you cherish it!" ”
After speaking, he raised the wine jar and tilted his neck, and poured it hard.
"Xiu Ming can do this, Fen knows enough." Wang Fen smiled and raised the wine buds, filled them for himself, saluted Ye Zhaoyao, raised his head and drank the wine in the chuckles.
"Good wine! Those who are dying can taste such fine wine, and die without regrets! Wang Fen exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, poured a look at Zhou Jing and said, "The study room also has a drink." ”
"Good!" Zhou Jing took the wine and drank it all in one gulp, and Wang Fen poured another drink for the little school.
"Thank you, lord!" The little colonel thrust the knife into the ground, took the wine and poured it on his head.
Ye Zhao looked at the three of them, silently closed his eyes, and behind him, Dian Wei took out a piece of white silk and stepped forward, striding behind Wang Fen.
Wang Fen saluted Ye Zhaoyao, and Dian Wei put the white silk on Wang Fen's neck and strangled it hard!
"Lord!" Seeing this, the junior colonel was about to pounce, but Zhao Yun beside Ye Zhao had already grabbed it, and a shot poked out and stabbed into the junior colonel's chest.
Wang Fen subconsciously grabbed the white silk on his neck with both hands, his face was purple, his legs kept kicking, Dian Wei had already received Ye Zhao's order, his arms exploded, only to hear a muffled sound, Wang Fen's eyes were wide, but his hands were hanging down weakly, and he was already out of breath.
Zhou Jing looked at Wang Fen's death, his heart trembled, and without waiting for Dian Wei to kill, he pulled out his sword and killed himself with a horizontal sword.
Ye Zhao looked at the bodies of the three people, sighed, and waved his hand: "Find a place to bury them, and escort the prisoners back to Luoyang, waiting for the imperial court to dispose of." ”
"Whoa!" His own generals responded to the order and sent people to carry the bodies of the three people away.
"Lord, are the families of Wang Fen, Zhou Jing and other traitors also ......" Fang Yue finished arranging military affairs and came to Ye Zhao's side and bowed.
"That's the matter of the magistrates, we are soldiers, and we only care about fighting." Ye Zhao watched Wang Fen's body being dragged away, shook his head, looked at Fang Yue and said, "I can't take this kind of merit." ”
"Whoa." Fang Yue bowed down and agreed, said goodbye and left.
"General, although these people rebelled, their families ......" Zhao Yun heard what Ye Zhao meant, and his family members could not escape the slaughter of the imperial court in the end, and they couldn't bear it.
"Innocent?" Ye Zhao looked at Zhao Yun, shook his head and said: "Actually, it's not innocent, some things need a price, not everything can be carried by one person, and it is the limit of what I can do to make them have a decent death." ”
When Zhao Yun heard this, he sighed silently and didn't say anything more.
At the end of the fourth year of Zhongping, a heavy snowfall covered up how much blood and helplessness.
