Chapter 357: Wen Ping's Death

Jiuquan County. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Liu Bei's mansion, Liu Bei learned that the three surnames of Dunhuang rebelled, and after guarding the news of Dunhuang, he has been unable to eat and sleep.

thought that even if he couldn't stop Zhou Yu's army, he would be able to cut off Dunhuang to protect himself, but he didn't expect that now he was cut off from the back road, which simply pouted Liu Bei's foundation.

"Second brother, how long can we last with the current grain and grass?"

Wen Ping heard Liu Bei's words and replied: "Big brother, Zhou Yu's offensive has been very fierce in the past two days, and if we continue like this, our grain and grass will support for three days at most, and after three days, we will run out of food." ”

"Alas! I knew that today, I didn't let the Gai family and the Suo family control our lifeline at the beginning, what should we do now? How is it good? Liu Bei looked very depressed.

"This..."Wen Ping is barely able to make do with the war, but if he wants to give advice, it will be really difficult for him.

"If the third brother is still here, maybe he can come up with a way, but I hate that Ma Chao thief, who actually killed the third brother, my third brother ......"

In the past, when discussing the military, Wei Yan made suggestions, Liu Bei controlled the overall situation, and as for Wen Ping, the most was to execute orders and dispatch the army.

"By the way, second brother, the Suo family and the Gai family are quite powerful in the army, you hurry up and arrest these two children, the consequences will be unimaginable if it is too late."

"Big brother, it's too late, since the news of the Dunhuang rebellion came, those officers of the Gai family and the Suo family have disappeared, I sent people to search the entire Jiuquan, but I didn't find any trace of those people, I'm afraid that they have fled back to Dunhuang."

"Well, at this point, the army is our last chance, and we must not let these thieves take advantage of it, and we will have to worry about the second brother a lot in this regard."

"Don't worry, big brother, little brother is awake."

"Okay, then you go on patrol first, and then I'll think about what I can do."

"No!"

After Wen was hired, Liu Bei looked up at the starry sky, and suddenly felt that he had the ambition to stabilize the country and the country, but he had nowhere to show it, he had been in charge of Dunhuang for many years, and his life was originally very comfortable, but he didn't expect the princes in the south to be so poor, and he cheapened Su Chen in vain, and now it is finally his turn.

"Can I surrender?"

The idea of surrender was just a flash of inspiration, and he was soon abandoned, he was the uncle of the Han Emperor, and he was recognized by the emperor, anyone can surrender, but he can't, if he surrenders, he will definitely be unable to escape death, I knew today, why did he bother to use the banner of the Han family, I didn't expect to be cocooned.

The city must not be able to hold, Zhou Yu broke through the city is just a matter of time, but Jiuquan this place, the geographical location is special, so that he can't even escape, to the north is the desert, ten dead and lifeless, there is Zhou Yu's army in the east, a dead end, the west is occupied by Zhang Meng, the other party is defending the city, there is no way to retreat, I am afraid that he has just left Jiuquan, and before he enters Dunhuang, Zhou Yu's army will catch up.

To the south is the Qilian Mountains, even if he becomes a bird, he can't fly over, this end is a dead place, he knew this, he might as well fight with Zhou Yu when he was in Jincheng, even if he is defeated, at least there is a way to live.

"No, I can't sit still!"

Does Liu Bei want to die? He never wants to die, he has been stumbling for decades, he has no children under his knees, and he has not left a queen for the old Liu family, and now if he wants to die, it is impossible.

After thinking about it, a bold idea came out of his mind, that is, to find a way to sneak out of the city, but to achieve this goal, he must set up tens of thousands of troops in the city, and even Wen Ping has to give up, only if Wen Ping sticks to the city here, he can get out of the city.

Where do you go when you leave the city?

It seems that the only place that still belongs to the Han is Xichuan now, if he expects it to be good, Emperor Liu Xie must have gone to Xichuan, if he goes to Xichuan, he will definitely be able to make a comeback with his identity as an imperial uncle, and it will not be impossible to rely on Xichuan's geographical advantages to block the Yan army.

"Yes, that's it!"

Liu Bei finally decided, he didn't want to die, he wanted to live, as for Wen Ping, he could only be sorry.

"Zhongye, don't blame me, I have the last hope of the Han, you died well!"

Liu Bei immediately no longer hesitated, changed into a common person's clothes, carried a bag of gold cakes, wrapped his male and female swords with strips of cloth, and then quietly walked out of the mansion.

"Who?"

Liu Bei chose the strongest door to go out, he knew Wen Ping's habits, Wen Ping was definitely not here, facing the obstruction of the soldiers guarding the city, Liu Bei unhurriedly took out a token, and said in a hoarse voice: "The lord has an order, ordering me to go out of the city to do business, and open the city gate quickly." ”

"Yes!" When the general guarding the city saw that it was Liu Bei's token, how dare he stop it, and immediately opened the city gate, and Liu Bei easily went out of the city.

"Why does this man's back look so much like the lord?" After Liu Bei left the city, the general was a little puzzled, I don't know why this person wanted to go out of the city in the middle of the night, could it be to carry out the military orders of the lord?

But these things are not what he should think, early tomorrow morning, the Yan army is going to attack the city again, a big battle is coming, he must recharge his energy to deal with tomorrow's big war.

"I don't know when this war will come to an end." Most of Liu Bei's soldiers were natives of Dunhuang or Jiuquan, and few were recruited from outside, and these soldiers were tired of fighting, but they had to do it because of military orders.

The next day, Wen Ping saw that Liu Bei did not show up, and he did not suspect it, in his mind, the eldest brother was too tired, and it was okay to sleep a little longer.

In the morning, the Yan army began to attack the city again, this time the offensive was very fierce, if Wen Ping personally supervised the battle, the Yan army had already attacked the city.

"Strange, why hasn't the eldest brother come to patrol yet?" According to Liu Bei's habits, he would go to the city tower every day to cheer up the soldiers, which was also a way to encourage morale, but today Liu Bei never showed up, which made Wen Ping a little frightened.

Soon, there were rumors in the army, and Wen Ping knew that Liu Bei had to show up at this time, so he hurriedly ran to Liu Bei's mansion, but the result surprised him, Liu Bei was gone.

"Gone?" Wen Ping subconsciously thought that it was not the spies of the Yan Army who were mixed in the city and kidnapped Liu Bei, but after thinking about it carefully, it was impossible, not to mention that Liu Bei's mansion was heavily guarded, and the spies of the Yan Army dared to kidnap people in Liu Bei's mansion, which was really ridiculous, and if Liu Bei was really kidnapped, then the Yan Army would definitely spread rumors, but now although there are rumors in the army, it is obviously not right, so Wen Ping is a little flustered.

"When did you find out that the general was missing?"

"Back to the second general, early this morning, when the old slave was waiting for the general to wash, he found that the general was gone, and then searched the entire mansion, and there was no general, and he was about to go to tell the second general, you came over, so ......"

Wen Ping finally sensed the seriousness of the matter, and ordered: "This matter must not leak the news, take care of all the people who know the news, and I will personally go to find the eldest brother." ”

"No!"

Liu Bei was not there, and Wen Ping, a righteous brother, naturally became the commander of the army, and he began to dispatch troops to search for Liu Bei's traces in the city in the name of catching spies, but in the end he found nothing.

However, his actions aroused the suspicion of the Huang brothers, and the Huang brothers rebelled against many officers in Liu Bei's army, and after some inquiry, Huang Hua boldly guessed: "You say, Liu Bei should not have left the army and ran away by himself, right?" ”

"Quite possibly!" A junior of the Gai family said: "According to the information I got in the army, there was a person who went out of the city with Liu Bei's token last night, and I heard that the figure of that person is very similar to Liu Bei. ”

"God help me!" Huang Hua immediately made a decision and ordered: "Everyone, success or failure is in this move, you go to contact the officers who are familiar with the army, spread the news that Liu Bei abandoned the city and left, no matter whether Liu Bei ran away or not, as long as the army is in chaos, our opportunity will come, once the Yan army enters the city, we people are a great achievement." ”

"Okay, let's do it!"

Soon, there was news in the city that Liu Bei had abandoned the city and left, and the rumors spread with noses and eyes, and many soldiers had already believed it, and their morale suddenly fell to the bottom, and Wen Ping naturally knew the rumors at the first time.

Unlike before, this time he didn't send someone to stop him, and even he was wondering if Liu Bei really abandoned the city, according to the news of the soldiers guarding the city last night, there was indeed a person who took Liu Bei's token out of the city, and the more Wen Ping thought about it, the more he felt that person was Liu Bei.

"Big brother, are you really so ruthless? Hahahaha! Wen Ping couldn't help but smile bitterly, he didn't expect that his eldest brother, who had followed him for twenty years, would sacrifice him at this last moment, he understood that only if he dragged Yan Jun could Liu Bei escape smoothly.

"In that case, even if it's the last thing I do for you, from now on, I don't owe you any more, and I hope I don't meet you again in the next life! Hehe! ”

Immediately, Wen Ping stationed tens of thousands of troops in Simen and gave a death order, that is, he must hold on for a day and a night, which was also his last effort.

However, the more he did this, the faster the rumors spread in the army, and Huang Hua asked the children of the Gai family and the Suo family to go to Liannuo their previous deployment, take the opportunity to rebel, and soon contacted tens of thousands of soldiers.

The soldiers were commanded by Huang Hua, who commanded: 'Everyone, we must send people out of the city to inform the general, and then take advantage of the night tonight to seize the gate, concentrate the superior forces, take the city gate, and receive the army into the city. ’

"Big brother, I'll go!" It was Huang Ang who voluntarily went out of the city to report the news.

"It's okay, only you can see the general, go, remember, tonight, we will take advantage of the night to seize the door, and the general must send troops to meet it."

"No problem!"

Wen Ping persevered for a day, physically and mentally exhausted, he was already discouraged, and he had nothing to love.

"Second general, it's not good, the north gate is broken, and the Yan army has already entered the city!"

"Is it finally over?" Wen Ping was not surprised at all when he heard the news, looking at the fire outside the city, Wen Ping knew that his mission was completed.

"Big brother, see you in the next life!" Wen Ping jumped from the castle tower after saying that.

As soon as Wen Ping died, the city was completely chaotic, and the soldiers began to burn and loot, but fortunately, the Yan army arrived in time to stop the riot.

When Zhou Yu heard the news that Wen Ping was martyred, he said lightly: "Let's bury it!" ”
