Chapter Eighty-Seven: A Different Outcome

Wu Sangui, the youngest of Zhang Shunzhi's five, is also the most delicate and lovely one. Who would have thought that this young man, who was eating and drinking behind Zhang Shunzhi more than five months ago, would now have such skills and become the captain of the special forces.

Among Zhang Shunzhi's five brothers, Zhang Shunzhi is calm and thoughtful, Zhao Gou is honest and impatient, Li Feng is calm, Sun Li's surname Ge is out of order, and the youngest Wu Sangui looks shy and cute, but in fact, his surname Ge is the most stoic.

It was based on their respective surnames that Zhang Shunzhi was happily arranged to pay close attention to the arbitrary movements of Chen *jun in Jianghuai and Jianghuai and to supervise the affairs of the whole gang; Zhao Gou is responsible for taking care of the children of the Xinghua Society, and at the same time honing his heart; Li Feng and Sun Li were stationed in Yecheng to infiltrate while developing the beggar gang; As for Li Feng, he was secretly trained by Happy to become the captain of the special forces, which even Zhang Shunzhi and the other four did not know.

"Warriors, the first evil karma has been ambushed, do you still want to resist?" Wang Lin glanced at everyone majestically, with a murderous chill in his voice.

Silence, deathly silence. Pi Jing, including Xiao Qin, and the eight red-clothed guards all looked at the corpse of Pi Jinghe on the ground who was gradually getting cold at this time.

"You are soldiers, soldiers who defend their homes and defend the country!" Wang Lin's voice was a little low, but it carried a trembling power, making Xiao Qin's body tremble, and his dull eyes moved.

"Have you forgotten your duty and your honor, and the passion and blood that you should have as a great husband? Do you just watch the iron hooves of thieves trample on the mountains and rivers of our country, and you can bear to watch your countrymen die in misery, and wail bitterly? When the country falls, don't you think about what will happen to your wives and children, who are still in the high hall? Or are you greedy for life and afraid of death, and you are ready to become a coward, sincerely waiting to accept the status of a slave to the country! ”

Wang Lin's tone was full of deep disappointment and sadness, deep indignation and helplessness, as well as disdain and contempt. He was disappointed and angry at the imperial court's disregard for the soldiers and civilians in the south, and the practice of not saving him when he saw death; grief for the people who were displaced in the war and their families were ruined, and even more sad for the dim and incompetent court that is now under the rivers; As a general in charge of the army, he has no actual military power and cannot save the people from fire and water; He despised and despised the current Northern Qi army, and had long since lost the courage of the Gao Huan era to dominate the world and the cowardice of evading war.

Wang Lin's words and demeanor deeply stimulated one person, and that was Xiao Qin.

Xiao Qin's face was ashamed, his head was always high, he couldn't help but hang down, his face was flushed, and his upright body was also a little depressed.

Since childhood, in Xiao Qin's mind, there has been a dream, that is, to gallop on the battlefield and defend the country. He always believes that only men who have been on the battlefield are the real husbands who stand up to the sky. He is naturally powerful, and loves to dance with knives and guns, and he has to be a martial artist. His surname is jealous and hateful, upright, and he beat up the gangsters and ruffians in the small county town where he lives, and he is also famous.

However, he is the only son in the family, and his father does not allow him to go out to join the army. This time, Nanchen launched a large-scale northern expedition, and Xiao Qin no longer ignored his father's obstruction, and resolutely decided to join the army, so as not to waste his skills.

Chen General Wu Mingche Northern Expedition, Pi Jinghe Ren led the army to the south, Xiao Qin happened to be under his account, because of his high martial arts was appointed by Pi Jinghe as the commander of the guard.

With the chaotic government of the Northern Qi Dynasty and the cruel exploitation and oppression of the people, the common people could not bear to expose the situation from time to time. In this year, when Pi Jinghe led his army south, he was just in time for the Chen Xuan rebellion, but the scale was too small, and it was no match for the 200,000 regular Qi army, and it was crushed before it could even make a wave.

In the story of following Pi Jinghe, Xiao Qin found that Pi Jinghe was far from being as wise and martial as the legend, and he had never been soft on the defenseless people who had no choice but to rebel because of poverty. Facing Chen *jun across the river, he was greedy for life and afraid of death, and he cowered, which made Xiao Qin look down on him in his heart.

"Dang Chang", the steel knife in Xiao Qin's hand fell to the ground and gave up resistance.

Humans are emotionally rich creatures, which also leads to the fact that emotions can be quickly contagious.

When Xiao Qin laid down his arms, all the red-clothed guards gave up resistance, after all, no one would not cherish their own lives, especially for the sake of a coward who abandoned the dignity and life that belonged to a man, and insulted the pride and glory that belonged to a soldier.

There was also a general named Hebavoun who commanded the army with Pi Jinghe, but he was far from being able to compare with Pi Jinghe in terms of prestige and seniority in the army. He was a tall man, with a beard and a fierce aura, and his surname was straight. For Pi Jinghe's stagnant approach, Hobavourn was very dissatisfied in his heart. When he saw Pi Jinghe's corpse, he didn't have any intention of avenging Pi Jinghe, and directly expressed to Wang Lin that he was willing to follow Wang Lin's leadership and attack Chen's army.

Wang Lin didn't spend much time at all, and after removing Pi Jinghe's henchmen, he controlled the entire army of 200,000 people, although he couldn't do it as much as he could do it, but he could come in handy.

On October 7, 573 AD, the Emperor of Northern Qi finally strengthened his will and went to Jinyang. Although more than a dozen officials headed by Ji Shu jointly played and tried hard to advise, they could not change the stubborn Gao Wei's doctrine.

And Sangui, who had long seen Ji Shu, Zhang Diao and Feng Xiaoyan unhappy, really warned Gao Wei that the Han people were going to rebel, as said in history. Just when the irascible Gao Wei wanted to execute Ji Shu and others as brutally as in history, a person with high prestige stood up, he was Zhao Yanshen, the king of Yiyang.

Happy often sighs that the integrity of the ancient literati makes people feel the pain of the egg, and at the same time, they have to feel sincere admiration for it.

Although they are hypocritical and pedantic, and in many cases they are synonymous with poverty and softness, sometimes they have a unique temperament that belongs to the literati and makes people awe-inspiring. "Who has not died in life since ancient times, leaving Dan to take care of the sweat", these two sentences have made Wen Tianxiang's reputation spread through the ages, and when the Southern Song Dynasty perished, how many literati jumped into the sea and died without hesitation, just to maintain the festival of being a literati.

Urging Ji Shu and the others obviously would not fail to understand the consequences of their own and others' advice, but they still did this, which was the responsibility of a courtier, and it was respectable and commendable.

Zhao Yanshen, the king of Yiyang, did not beg Gao Wei to keep people, but just said that Ji Shu and others were hoping to use this name to go down through the ages and be famous for centuries. Gao Wei no longer raised the butcher's knife, but only dismissed all the official titles of Ji Shu and others and demoted them to concubines.

When the news of Gao Wei going north to Jinyang came out, the whole country was shaken, and the Qi army, which had stubbornly resisted the attack of Chen's army, was all in turmoil and demoralized. Countless people who were originally on the north bank of the Huai River panicked for a while, dragged their families and moved north, hoping to find safe shelter in Gyeonggi.

On October 10 of 573 AD, Shouyang City was broken, just like in history, because Wu Mingche led fertilizer water to irrigate the city, the city wall collapsed, and it was only half an hour of sporadic resistance, and Chen's army attacked Shouyang City.

But what made Wu Mingche strange was that the walls of Shouyang City were too fragile, and more than sixty percent of the walls had collapsed, so that he could complete the repair in a short period of time in order to resist the counterattack of the Qi army. What made him even more depressed was that Wang Lin disappeared, and according to Lu Qian, who was captured, Wang Lin broke through that night. Wu Mingche, who learned the news, was full of remorse and self-blame, if it weren't for his own negligence, how could Chen Guo's henchmen easily escape.

When the city of Shouyang was broken, the 200,000 regular troops of the Northern Qi stationed 30 miles away from Shouyang were directly defeated, retreated north in panic, and left behind a large number of baggage materials. Huang Fayan replaced Xiao Maha in history, led 20,000 Chen* troops, and chased the Qi army back to the north bank of the Huai River with the momentum of the victorious army.

However, just when Huang Fayan was immediately along the Huai River, excited in his heart, and despised the fragility of the Qi army, 30,000 Qi troops suddenly came to kill him on his flank. The tired Chen * army was killed by the Qi army in an instant, and he quickly reversed his identity with the Qi army and fled south.

With 200,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, if he didn't do something, how could Wang Lin be worthy of the happiness of being far away in Yecheng?
