Chapter 126 III The Sacrifice of the Baisha River
The messengers sent by Mi Yiguo ran a lot of unjust roads. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn Mi Yiguo's prediction, Wang Hanxin naturally fought against the rest of the Tuqi at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and at most intercepted the enemy army in the eastern part of the Tianshan Mountains, and as a result, his two predictions all deviated from the goal. Wang Hanxin was not only not at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, nor was he in the east of the Tianshan Mountains, but went to the Baisha River.
Of course, Wang Hanxin is not a person who will leave his post without permission, but a task like intercepting the remnants of the Raiders who have no fighting spirit is difficult to make Wang Hanxin have any motivation, and if such a simple task requires him to personally command, then what else do those middle-level officers do. In addition, Wang Hanxin has other reasons for him to have mood swings, that is, the quarrel between him and his brother-in-law Chen Shijie.
Chen Shijie was seriously injured in the first battle of Shihezi, but fortunately saved him in time, after a period of treatment and recuperation, Chen Shijie's injury has improved, but the death of Ge Boling in the first battle of Shihezi made Chen Shijie infinitely sad, because it was Ge Boling's timely assistance that allowed him to pick up a life, but Ge Boling died in the battle because he took over to intercept Abicilir, in Chen Shijie's opinion, Ge Boling simply died for himself. And when he heard that Ge Boling did not get a single soldier to rescue Wang Hanxin when he finally asked for help, and Wang Hanxin deliberately used Ge Boling's death in exchange for time to disrupt the formation of the Tukchi army, this guilt turned into a wave of anger and vented directly to Wang Hanxin.
Since Wang Hanxin and Chen Shijie got married, the two naturally had some quarrels, but none of them were as fierce as this one. In Wang Hanxin's view, if he didn't let Ge Boling nail him to the position to contain Abiciel, then Abilir might retreat, so that he would lose the fighter, and it was because of Ge Boling's sacrifice that he was able to snipe Abiciel, which was not only a major victory, but also Ge Boling's own long-cherished wish. As a result, this explanation made Chen Shijie even more dissatisfied, Chen Shijie felt that the defeat of Tuqi was inevitable, and Abicilir would inevitably face defeat in the end, and a high-minded person like him would absolutely not be able to bear defeat, so defeating Tuqi and killing Abichelil was almost the same result, why did he have to choose to sacrifice the life of a general in Shihezi for nothing. Due to the different starting points of the two, the result was inextricably linked, and finally broke up unhappily.
After being stimulated by this incident, Wang Hanxin arranged the affairs at hand the next day, and then took his own soldiers to tie Chen Shijie on horseback and traveled all the way south to the Baisha River.
Baisha River is the place where Chen Shijie's brother Chen Shihua died in battle, seeing Wang Hanxin began to set up incense tables to prepare for the memorial, Chen Shijie had to support the memorial even if he was full of dissatisfaction and pain all over his body.
Wang Hanxin lit three pillars of incense in front of the incense table, bowed three times to the air, then inserted the incense, poured a glass of wine, and sprinkled it on the ground.
Chen Shijie followed closely and also put on three sticks of incense and sprinkled a glass of wine. At this time, Wang Hanxin said: "Third brother, you scolded me all the way, I will tell you now why I have to sacrifice the life of Lord Ge Boling to fight for the head of Abicheril, because our eldest brother died for this battle." In order to keep the thunderbolts and muskets so that we could win the battle, he preferred to take a small number of troops to resist the cavalry attack of Heza. I won the battle in Shihezi, of course I can be satisfied with the results of killing Badr and those 20,000 people, but are those worth the life of our eldest brother?! If I hadn't killed Abiciel, then I wouldn't have the face to come to Baisha River today to pay tribute to my eldest brother, if I let Abicheril go this time, if he dies at the hands of others in the future, I will feel that I don't have the face to come to Baishahe again in my life! Yes, Ge Boling can indeed be said to have died for you, but dying in battle is the duty of a military general! Even the third brother, didn't you have the consciousness of death at that time? If I can't kill Badr in time, then you will also die on the battlefield, Third Brother! I have to be ruthless in order to win! Fortunately, the third brother, you were rescued in time, and Ge Boling didn't survive until that time. But I don't think my sacrifice is not worth it, if Abicilir lives longer, the Tuqi army will kill more of our soldiers and civilians, isn't it just that we as generals have fought to avoid this kind of thing? Now we can hold our heads high and say to the spirit of the eldest brother in the sky, we did it, and the eldest brother did not die in vain. ”
"But you let go of the real murderer who killed the eldest brother!"
"Yes, I could have destroyed Heza. But third brother, you have been with Hesa for so long, you should know that Hesa is different from his father Abicheril, he is not so ambitious, even if he has, the broken Tuqi will not give him the same conditions as his father, and even if he does, I will not let him have these conditions. The Turks remain at a dangerous tipping point so that they have no spare strength to move south to pose a threat to our country. It's not that I don't want revenge, but Themon's suggestion is correct, and it would be more beneficial for my country to keep Hesa. If one day Turchy under the rule of Hesa becomes a threat to our country, then I will kill him like my father! ”
Chen Shijie snorted and said, "I can't talk about you." But I still don't agree with your approach! Even if you say 10,000 truths, it's the same! ”
Wang Hanxin suddenly changed his face, and came to Chen Shijie with a hippie smile and said, "Then I don't have to persuade you, but can we brothers stop arguing about a question that won't lead to results with such a blushing face, third brother?" ”
Chen Shijie looked at his unorthodox appearance, couldn't help but smile, and reprimanded: "You are the commander of the first army, what do you say like such a dead face!" ”
Just as the brothers were reconciled, a messenger from the Miyi Kingdom arrived. Wang Hanxin asked for clarification, then took Mi Yiguo's letter from the messenger, unfolded it and read it from beginning to end, and handed it to Chen Shijie for a look.
After reading it, Chen Shijie sneered: "This Dadalan is really brazen, he actually made such a request!" ”
Wang Hanxin immediately ordered to prepare a paper inkstone, hastily wrote a letter, still sealed it and returned it to the messenger, and said: "Give this to Mi Yiguo, and let him read it aloud in front of Lord Duhu and Manum!" ”
"Yes!" The messenger took the letter and hurried away again.
"What did you write in your letter? Why should it be read in public? It's not good to protect the adult's face like this. Chen Shijie reminded.
Wang Hanxin smiled slightly and said, "Third brother, don't worry, what I wrote in the letter is to let Sun Kewang know where the bottom line is that he has to adhere to as the protector of the Western Regions." I told Manum that my country has a clear vision of who is its ally and who is its enemy, and how to distinguish between friends and enemies. As for who to join forces with to deal with whom, our country will choose the right time and people, and there is no need for other countries to point fingers and make obstacles! We want to be friendly with our neighbors, but we will not be afraid of war and hold back. As long as anyone has the courage to stand up against our country, Abicheril's fate is his example! ”
