Chapter 32 Murder and Might
Ma Laosan choked and pulled out his knife, pointed at Wang Huaqiang, and roared through gritted teeth: "The surname Wang, what do you mean!" Say kill and kill? ”
Wang Huaqiang glared back at him without flinching, and shouted: "Third Master Ma, this is not in your Jinyun Village, but in the army, the army must have the rules of the army, if you don't follow the order, how can you fight?!" Even in your stockade, if your brother doesn't listen to you, don't you care? ”
Ma Laosan put down the knife, still puffing out his eyes unconvinced, and shouted loudly: "Brother Li Quan is a good man, there is no ambiguity in today's battle, and they are all rushing to the front." He was like this because his brother died. You are the leader, and the order you give is a military order, of course you should listen to it, but you just beat him, why do you want to kill people directly? ”
Wang Huaqiang said loudly: "Li Quan is not the only one who has died of his brother, it is my eldest brother Wang Huashi, who also died in the battle by the river, he has a debtor and a master, and he is angry with innocent prisoners, what kind of hero!" ”
Wang Huawei didn't know about Wang Huashi's death in battle, his face changed greatly, he took two steps forward and grabbed Wang Huaqiang's hand, two lines of tears burst out of his eyes, and his voice was trembling: "Second brother, what did you say?" What the hell is wrong with Big Brother! ”
Wang Huaqiang's tears also flowed unconsciously, he closed his eyes in pain, and nodded: "Big brother was shot by a spear in order to save me, just by the river, right by the river......" When he said this, a sadness hit Wang Huaqiang's heart, and his voice became choked, and he couldn't go on.
Wang Huawei screamed sadly, shouted "big brother" in the sky, threw away the torch in his hand, and was about to rush down the small high ground, but was held by the two guards beside him: "Wang Sanye, you can't go, it's dangerous there!" ”
Wang Huawei was already like a mad tiger, how could he listen to persuasion, kicked one of the guards who pulled him on the left, and yelled at the person who pulled him on the right: "Let go, if you don't let go, I'll kill you!" ”
Wang Huaqiang quickly walked in front of Wang Huawei, raised his hand and slapped him in the face, the voice was crisp, and Wang Huawei's face suddenly seemed to be swollen with a small steamed bun.
Wang Huawei covered his face and yelled at Wang Huaqiang: "Second brother, what are you doing!" ”
Wang Huaqiang had wiped away the tears on his face, grabbed Wang Huawei's collar, he was similar to the third brother, and this time he pulled Wang Huawei's whole person in front of him, looked directly into Wang Huawei's eyes, and said sharply: "Do you think about the eldest brother, then good, you go to accompany the eldest brother now." Big brother is willing to protect us, you don't want to fucking die! ”
After Wang Huaqiang finished speaking, he pushed Wang Huawei down the slope and shouted: "Go, if you want to die, go if you want to!" ”
Wang Huawei was out of control for a moment just now, and now he was slapped and scolded, and he also woke up for seven or eight minutes, and he also knew that it was very unsafe to go down the slope, and within the enemy's range, it was impossible to even transport the wounded in the past, let alone collect the corpses.
But when Wang Huawei thought that the eldest brother who had depended on each other since he was a child and cared for him everywhere was gone, he couldn't help but feel sad from his heart, knelt on the ground, cried heartbreakingly, kept beating the grass under his knees, crying blood, everyone was infected by his feelings, and when they thought of their relatives and friends who had just died, they all wept and cried.
Wang Huaqiang turned his back and wiped away the tears on his face, at this time, everyone can be weak, and they can cry loudly for their dead relatives, but he can't, because he is a commander, and he can't affect the lives of thousands of people because of his feelings.
Wang Huaqiang was ruthless, turned around, and said to Ma Laosan, who was tearful in his eyes: "Ma Sanye, you just drew a knife at me, thinking that you are out of control for a while, I won't worry about you for the time being, the rewards and punishments of the Governor of the Metropolitan are clear, and the reward of this Li Quan brother, I will not be less than a son, and when I report to the imperial court, I will definitely list him in front."
But he violated the military law, ignored my prohibition, killed the prisoners first, and used the knife against the superior who came forward to stop him. Can you be convinced that I killed him with such a knife? ”
Ma Laosan sighed, did not speak, and bowed to Wang Huaqiang, which was regarded as an answer.
Wang Huaqiang glanced at the slope, everyone was staring at him now, his heart moved, and he shouted in a deep voice to those Chen army prisoners: "Which of the captives is an officer, stand up." I'm late, but don't blame me for being rude! ”
Several officers wearing chain mail stood up slowly, looked at each other and shook their heads and smiled bitterly, they didn't expect to meet again in this kind of place with this identity, one of them was wearing a white cloak and bright light armor, and the officer in his forties stood in front and arched his hand to Wang Huaqiang: "Defeated general Xiao Wenqiang, I have seen the general." ”
Wang Huaqiang glanced at this Xiao Wenqiang, his helmet was gone, his face was covered with sweat, and there were a few tears on his cloak, his beard was scattered, and he stood in front of him dejectedly, a typical general who dared not speak bravely.
Wang Huaqiang knew in his heart that this person's self-confidence had been completely destroyed, and now he was just a walking corpse, and he would confess everything he knew without any means.
Wang Huaqiang asked in a deep voice: "Report your position." ”
Xiao Wenqiang replied: "The defeated general turned out to be Liu Yitong's lieutenant. Liu Yitong died in battle just now, and I have the highest rank here, so everyone pushes me to answer the general's words. ”
Wang Huaqiang nodded: "You three thousand people are the defenders of the new pavilion pouring out?" Did you report it to other troops? ”
Xiao Wenqiang said: "Yes, except for more than 50 people left to watch the house, all of them came out." The landing of the northern army is a big event, before we came out, Liu Yitong had already sent people to Jiankang City to report urgently, and our 3,000 people were the vanguard of the counterattack on you. ”
Wang Huaqiang's heart moved, and he said in a deep voice: "Which is the closest unit to you?" Why didn't Liu Yitong directly let this army send troops, but wanted to go to the palace of Jiankang City to transfer troops? ”
Xiao Wenqiang shook his head: "Tun in Jubaoshan, southwest of Jiankang City, is the 30,000 army of General Ren Zhongren, but Liu Yi was also promoted by Shi Fu, two years ago, Shi Fujiao had found General Ren a crime, and took his troops for himself and several other civilian officials, and the two have since become enemies.
General Ren and Liu Yi hated together, our army was originally under his command, but he has been looking for trouble and withholding our food and salary, so that everyone can only drink gruel.
This kind of 100,000 urgent military situation, if General Ren has a relationship with us again, it will be a big mistake, so Liu Yitong directly sent his cronies to Jiankang City to find Shi Servant for help. ”
Wang Huaqiang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, Nan Chen's situation of civil and military centrifugation seemed to be even stricter than he imagined, and he actually regarded military affairs as child's play, the Sui army had crossed the river, and they couldn't work together, I really don't know what they thought.
But Wang Huaqiang was still a little uneasy, and asked: "That Liu Yitong can't send a messenger to Ren Zhong to report the news?" You don't lack a messenger. ”
Xiao Wenqiang sighed helplessly: "The defeated general once persuaded Liu Yitong to see the emperor's face, and first inform General Ren, whether General Ren will follow up at that time, that is General Ren's business, but we always fulfill our responsibilities."
However, Liu Yitong said that judging from the situation reported back by Li Dudu, the enemy only crossed the river with the vanguard troops, and the number was only one or two thousand, and our troops were enough to resist, and it was best to wait for the Sui army to cross the river in a big way, and then our naval division would intercept and kill them halfway, and then rely on the army to counterattack the Sui army on land, which was fighting against the Sui army, which was fighting against the water, and it would be a great victory.
Liu Yitong also said that such a great achievement cannot fall into the hands of that general, and he must let Shi Fujiao send a general with his cronies to come over, for example, the relationship between General Xiao Lao and Shi Fujiao is good, and this is also a good opportunity to please him, so no one can call General Ren. ”
Wang Huaqiang laughed, he knew that what Xiao Wenqiang said must be the truth, but he suddenly thought of something, his smile suddenly froze on his face, and he hurriedly asked: "You just said that Liu Yitong is going to send someone to notify the navy to intercept and kill?" How was it notified? Aren't your sailors quarrying in the south? ”
