Chapter 187: Brothers on the Wall
As soon as Wei Daofeng left, there was no one around, so Wang Yongtai dared to sigh and sit on the edge of the bed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info He felt so tired that he had to take a sip of wine to beat his spirits, and the stimulation of alcohol made him feel better.
Leaning on the corner, Wang Yongtai smiled bitterly, he felt how a failure he was to be a man.
Defeated militarily, he also failed in affairs!
The defeat of the Two Wolves Mountain was nothing, and the army was not injured, but he first isolated himself from the Beiyang system, and then was abandoned by the regent, which was the most deadly. Now think about what Huang Bo said about himself at the beginning, he was really confused, because he was afraid that his younger brother would take away power, if he thought about it more and helped him spend money to send him to the Zhenjiang River Defense Camp, not only would he consolidate his position, but he would also get Wang Yongan's support in Zhenjiang.
"Alas...... Confused! Confused! Wang Yongtai regretted it, he got up and got out of bed, walked aimlessly to the sand table, his eyes looked at the terrain of the sand table, but his mind was completely no longer there.
Why was he so angry? Wang Yongtai began to smooth out the relationship between the front and back, and his mind gradually became clearer.
At first, Wang Yongtai was dissatisfied that his status was gradually overshadowed by Wang Yongan, but he also knew in his heart that his younger brother was dedicated to him, and even went to the Yuan family's tuberculosis daughter to help him.
Then Sister Cao was discriminated against at home, Li Yao, Fang Xianwu and others talked about Wang Yongan's goodness all the time, and Huang Bo secretly added fuel to the fire, his mentality gradually changed, and deceived Wang Yongan to Shanghai. But even at that time, he still did not give up on Wang Yongan, and still handed over the responsibility of selling the Ming weapon to him.
It wasn't until the end - the news that he couldn't have children from the barracks completely detonated the anger in his heart, Huang Bo said, this news came from Wang Yongan's good friend, needless to say, until this secret is only Sister Cao, himself and his younger brother, not he Wang Yongan said, who can it be?
Wang Yongtai was furious at this time, removed Wang Yongan from all positions, and did not contact him again.
A man can say no in any way, but he must no longer say no in sexual affairs, he just can't have children, and it's not that he can't engage in women, the doctor said that the yang essence is absolutely dead, but the Taoist priest who told the fortune said it was because he was in the mountain. Dong kills too many people, which damages Yin virtue and leads to no heirs. Wang Yongtai doesn't like to touch women very much, because he doesn't want people to know his secrets, but he doesn't want to know it all in the barracks, how can he not be angry.
Alas......
With a long sigh, Wang Yongtai smiled bitterly, sleepless all night, only the drizzle outside the window knocked on the oil paper, making a rustling sound, the world was bleak, and he felt extremely sad. I can be regarded as a traitor to my relatives, my relatives are gone, my backers are gone, but fortunately, there are still soldiers who obey the command.
Thinking of the soldiers, Wang Yongtai raised his head suddenly, his eyes were sharp, he must not lose his military power, as long as he has a large army, even if the Beiyang system rejects it, even if the imperial court suppresses it, what can he do? He is the leader of this army, and the top priority is not to sigh about the Spring and Autumn Period, but to firmly control the army.
The army speaks by strength, and if he continues to languish, he is afraid that he will lose the morale of the army and will never be able to get it back. Thinking of this, he shook his spirits, looked at the sand table, and pondered how to defeat the bandits in northern Anhui.
He thought carefully about it when he was in the mountains. The experience of suppressing bandits in the east, and then comparing it with the present, why did he lose the war.
When he was in Shandong, he was an officer in the Fifth Town, and his victory was nothing more than relying on the strength of the crowd to attack from all sides. In the northern Anhui region, the Croatian army was unfamiliar with the place of combat, and entered the danger with a lone army, as evidenced by the fog of the two wolf mountains. According to the intelligence of these days, it is known that there are a total of eighteen big bandit villages in northern Anhui, known as the eighteen arhats, and the court said that they are eighteen bandits. In addition to the 18 bandits, there were also more than 20 bandits in the small village, with a total number of 18,000 people.
Tens of thousands of bandits ambushed the officers and soldiers, and did not disclose the slightest rumor in advance, which shows that the cunning of the bandits in northern Anhui is far higher than the mountain. East Bandits.
But the most difficult problem facing Wang Yongtai now is not how to defeat the bandits, but the problem of logistics and supply. Even if Ann. The provinces and counties in the northern Anhui region of Hui Province can provide food, but they cannot provide ammunition and medicine, and all military consumption needs to be operated from the main capital, but now the base camp is occupied.
It was back to the starting point, Wang Yongtai was one head and two big, so he convened the officers again the next day to discuss.
The officers stopped talking one by one, and it was inconvenient for everyone to express their opinions on the relationship between the fourth young master and the general, after all, everyone didn't know how they would face it.
"You can't enter, you can't retreat." Wang Yongtai let out a long sigh, he still needs to deal with the imperial court, three months have passed, and he has led the army to rely in Mengcheng, which has caused the dissatisfaction of the people of Mengcheng. In the past, he was still high-spirited and disdainful of everything in the local area, but now that he has become a general without a home, he has to think about the local people.
In the end, Yang Zhenshan stood up and said, "Otherwise, I'll contact Yangzhou and ask about the plans over there." ”
Wang Yongtai had no choice but to let Yang Zhenshan probe the wind.
Yang Zhenshan's news only reached Wang Yongan after five days, and Wang Yongan immediately realized that this was Wang Yongtai giving in to himself, and he was still a little angry in his heart, but he gradually disappeared.
Since the second brother was soft, Wang Yongan also slowly changed his attitude, but fortunately, he cooperated with Huang Bo and the three families to reap benefits from the imperial court. Of course, if they get together again in the future, they will inevitably have to break up, and they can't let them fight every day.
At this time, Wang Yongan suddenly got a letter from above. Hai's telegram was sent to him by Nianzhen, and there was only one sentence on the telegram: "Brother is on the wall." Resist its insults. This sentence comes from the "Book of Songs, Xiaoya, Tangtang", which means that brothers and relatives quarrel internally, but they can unanimously resist the invasion of foreign enemies.
Wang Yongan understood what Nianzhen meant, there were only differences and no hatred between him and Wang Yongtai, and now that foreign enemies are everywhere, if they can't be united, they can only be destroyed in the future. Nian Zhen vaguely revealed a meaning, let Wang Yongan, who is a younger brother, bow his head first, so that the Yangzhou Wang brothers can merge the two swords.
His wife's consolation was like a lightning bolt hitting Wang Yongan's heart, making him ashamed in an instant.
"It seems that my mind is neither as good as my second brother, nor as good as Nianzhen." Wang Yongan laughed self-deprecatingly, and then called his subordinates and announced: "Mengcheng first showed favor to us, and I think it is also necessary to show favor to my second brother." ”
After Wang Yongan said the words "my second brother", everyone understood what it meant. (To be continued.) )
