After the rebellion of the Subather, Wang Pingfan immediately led his troops to suppress it. But soon, because of the rebellion of Zhao Liangdong's troops, the entire Wu army in Chuang Wangzhai fell into chaos. Seeing that there were scattered soldiers everywhere, Wang Pingfan knew that it was not good, so he immediately gathered the soldiers and horses he could control, and formed a line of defense with the battalion to defend it, which was to avoid the spread of panic and chaos, and then wait to stabilize the position and then strangle the rebels who were making trouble, but seeing that it had been effective, it withstood the offensive of the rebel Tartars of the Subabe Department, but it was attacked by the Eight Banners led by An Zhuhu, the capital of Qingning Guta.
Under the tripartite impact of the Qing army, the rebels, and the rout, Wang Pingfan failed to hold the camp and had to lead the remnants to retreat with the rout. Along the way, seeing the chaos in the camp, seeing the corpses lying in a pool of blood everywhere, Wang Pingfan's heart kept dripping blood, he was very unwilling, the Qing court obviously had one breath left, they obviously only needed to go one step further to take the entire north, take the entire Guannei, but why was he hit hard by the Yellow River, and even he Wang Pingfan could be folded here today?
Why is Su Bai opposed, why is Zhao Liangdong opposed, why!
Wang Pingfan was really unwilling, he was really unwilling, he wanted to gather the rout, even if he couldn't stop the Qing army, he had to reduce his losses. However, the Qing army refused to let them go, and did not give him a chance to gather the rout. Whenever he gathered a little rout, the Qing army following behind would immediately rush over, back and forth a few times, all Wang Pingfan could do was to protect himself, and he didn't care about those routs. But he was still unwilling, and still wanted to gather the rout and block the Qing army. At this time, his subordinate Zhou Tai begged him to stop caring about those routs and withdraw first, otherwise he would not be able to leave.
The rest of the generals also persuaded one after another, and one deputy general even knelt in front of Wang Pingfan, crying and saying: "General, withdraw, there is no help, those routed soldiers just want to flee for their lives, and the military order is of no use to them at all!" It is impossible for us to collect them again, if the general does not leave, the Qing army will come up! ”
"The general doesn't know the news, we alone can't stop the Qing army, general, withdraw!"
Some of Wang Pingfan's personal guards also stepped forward to persuade him to leave the place quickly. However, in the face of the bitter pleading of his subordinates and guards, Wang Pingfan remained motionless like a stone man. His eyes were red, he looked around at everyone, and said angrily: "Are you afraid of death?!" If it weren't for the fear of death, how could you want me to watch those brothers who came from Liaodong die here! ”
"General, we..."
Most of Wang Pingfan's subordinates kept their mouths shut in shame, because they were all from Liaodong and had been part of the Guanning army since their fathers and ancestors. Tonight, it was not only the soldiers and horses who went south to collect the rebellion, but also the fellow villagers who came from Liaodong with them, and even their relatives. They were also frightened by this chaos and just wanted to get out of here quickly, but they weren't really afraid of death, and they didn't really want to abandon those Liaodong children.
However, some people are ashamed, but there are also people who are not ashamed. A guerrilla was unwilling to say: "General, the army is in chaos, even if we can stop the Qing army here, but those people are in a hurry to flee for their lives, and they are afraid that more people will die under their own swords than under the Qing saber!" General, it's not that the last general is greedy for life and afraid of death, it's really come to this point, and he can't go back to heaven! ”
"What did you say!"
Wang Pingfan pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife and glared at the guerrilla, so frightened that the other party immediately retracted. However, Wang Pingfan understands that although this guerrilla remark is useless, it does not mean that it is not right, and it does not mean that these silent subordinates do not think so. He clenched the hilt of his knife in pain, and said to this guerrilla attack and to all his subordinates: "I know what happened, but I also know that if the Qing army had not driven away, no matter how chaotic the situation was, at least many brothers would have escaped!" But if no one stopped the Qing army, those who could escape would surely die here! ..... General Xia Guoxiang is dozens of miles away, he will definitely send troops to respond, we can block the Qing army here for a while, General Xia will be able to rescue some more people, do you know or not! ”
Hearing Wang Pingfan's words, his subordinates all lowered their heads. They are all struggling in their hearts, if Wang Pingfan risked his life to block the Qing army, as subordinates, they have no other choice.
"The general puts life and death out of the way, and we subordinates have nothing to say, isn't it possible that the lives of our people are worth more than the general! Don't think about anything else, just follow the general, you really die here, and you die with the general! ”
It was Zhou Tai who said this, Wang Pingfan nodded at him, and said to everyone: "You don't have to worry, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, today we are defeated, but the prince is still here!" As long as the prince is here, we will not be defeated! Even if we die here, our families will not be bullied by the Tartars! But if we really lose, what will happen to our families, I'm afraid I won't say, you should also know! ”
When the generals heard this, they were all in their hearts, and they couldn't be clearer about the Manchurians' methods of dealing with women and children.
Zhao Qiang, the personal guard of Wang Ping Domain, pulled out his knife and resolutely shouted: "General, please rest assured, I will follow to the death and fight with the Mantars!" ”
"Yes, fight with the full tartars!"
The morale of the generals was inspired, and they were no longer as fearful as before.
Seeing that the morale of his subordinates was inspired, Wang Pingfan immediately ordered them to gather the rout troops in all directions, and chose to hold on to one place, and could not let the Qing army go no matter what. After gathering more than 1,000 defeated troops, the Qing army attacked again. This time, it was Zhao Liangdong, the former governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, who played the front.
Zhao Liangdong stood on his horse, and found that the Wu army on the opposite side was commanded by Wang Pingfan, and he was a little shocked in his heart, he knew that Wang Pingfan was powerful, but there were Manchurian soldiers watching behind him, and he couldn't allow him to retreat timidly. Therefore, he hit the horse forward and rushed forward and shouted: "Wang Pingfan, do you still want to be a hero when you die?" ”
Hearing Zhao Liangdong's voice, Wang Pingfan was furious, walked out of the crowd, and scolded loudly: "Zhao Liangdong, you dog thief, where is the prince sorry for you, you actually betrayed him!" Don't forget, you Zhao Liangdong is a Han man, and he also cut his braids! ”
"Han Chinese? Plait? ”
Zhao Liangdong sneered, touched his bare head, and said, "Although the braid on my head is cut, the braid in my heart is there!" ”

Author's note: Wang Pingfan, a Han hero. Before the rebellion of the three feudatories, a large number of military horses were trafficked from Inner Mongolia every year to help Wu Sangui, who was the commander of the northwest side of the Wu army. He confronted Qing generals Tuhai (cabinet scholar), Zhao Liangdong, Daniel Zhang, and Wang Jinbao for a long time, and did not fall behind. He once hit Tuhai heavily in the Battle of Pingliang, beheaded 20,000 Qing troops, and was finally defeated in the Battle of Baoji Hanzhong, and committed suicide in shame.
