Chapter 822: The End of the Hero (1)
The heavy snow that raged for a winter finally stopped, the clouds dispersed, the blue sky was like washing, the sun hung high in the sky, under the golden sun, the snow was shining, and its scenery was not very beautiful.
Seven years, since the 53rd year of Kangxi's 53rd year to lead the army to the expedition, in this side of the plugged land, his fourteenth master has been fighting for more than seven years, and has experienced countless wars, although for various reasons he has not been able to completely quell the rebellion' The chaotic Junggar tribes, but after all, they have recovered Tibet, and stabilized the situation in the frontier, at least in his fourteenth master's own view, it is already worthy of the society, but the result in exchange is actually the enthronement of the third master, which makes the fourteenth master how to be convinced, it is out of this unwilling psychology, even if it has been half a month, the third master's edict continues, and the fourteenth master has not paid attention to it, that is, he does not plan to return to Beijing alone to mourn, even if he must return to Beijing, it will definitely not follow the routine of the third master, with 300,000 male soldiers in hand, the fourteenth master does not think that the third master can really help himself, but then again, the fourteenth master also does not dare to move, there is no other, just because the fourteenth master also has unspeakable hidden worries!
Grain! In the final analysis, it is still such an old problem - since the last winter, Liu San'er and Li Shuang' 'Spring', the two chief adjutants of the grain road, have begun to disobey the command, no matter how the old fourteen go to urge. Force', both of them are in the same tone, blindly deducing that the snow is difficult to do, and the grain transported to the camp has been insufficient, always maintained at the amount of barely enough to supply the army for ten days, once there is a slight surplus, the two will no longer send food, in this regard, the old fourteen is extremely hateful, but there is nothing to do, there is no side, the two are not under his old fourteenth at all, and the soldiers, the second department of the household is also difficult to restrain these two Hongqing's 'door' minions, this headache is so embarrassing to maintain a winter.
In fact, he did not think of forcibly taking over the grain station along the way, and really sent a 'elite' cavalry to try to control the two nearest grain stations, trying to seize the grain storage in them, but unfortunately Liu San'er and Li Shuang' Chun' had already taken precautions against this, and there was not much grain in the two grain stations closest to the army, which could barely be used for two days of the army. Li and the others have blatantly burned the follow-up grain stations, not only that, but also issued a solemn protest against the old fourteenth arson looting, and the responsibility for the fire in the follow-up grain stations has also been pushed to the top of the 'chaos' soldiers.
After all, with the wealth of Sichuan and Hanzhong, there is no problem with the supply of 300,000 troops to return to Beijing, but Nian Qianyao has not seen any movement for a long time, even if the old fourteen have sent people to urge several times, but he has never been able to get a letter from Nian Qianyao's mouth. In a depressed mood, the old fourteen didn't want to stay in the noisy barracks anymore, but led a group of guards to gallop in the snow, randomly chose a small hill, and stopped there, enjoying the snow scene bored.
"Report, General, Xi'an urgent!"
Just when the old fourteen was standing on the top of the mountain in a chaotic way, a horse suddenly came from a distance, and the horse ran directly to the distance less than five steps away from the old fourteen, only to strangle the galloping war horse, and then a neat saddle dismounted, already kneeling in front of the old fourteen, with a lift of his hand, a small copper pipe has appeared in front of the old fourteen.
"Alas......"
As soon as I saw that the style of the small brass pipe was the format of the most urgent letter, the old fourteen's face 'color' immediately changed, and without saying much, he snatched the small brass pipe, quickly twisted the hidden button on it, took out a roll of paper from the inside, and spread it out to see. Color' was suddenly white, and after standing in a daze for a long time, he let out a long sigh sullenly, and closed his eyes in pain, there is nothing else, there is a lot of news in this secret letter, but it is all bad news, not only Nian Qianyao has been killed by Hongqing, even Ehai and Fan Shijie have been taken down by Hongqing, and now the situation in the northwest has completely fallen into Hongqing's control, and the last chance for the old fourteen to turn the tables has also been declared disillusioned!
"Let's go, go back to camp!"
The old fourteen is a hero, although he was hit hard by this series of bad news, but he was only stunned for a moment, and he was already sober, and he planned to go back to the camp to gather a group of henchmen and generals to discuss a charter again, why can't this be recognized here!
"What's going on? Why is it so 'chaotic' and 'chaotic'! ”
The old fourteen went out of the camp today, ran a little far away from the camp, although it was galloping all the way, it was more than half an hour after rushing back to the camp, and it was just a horse approaching the camp, and he had already heard the cheers in the barracks one after another, and his heart couldn't help but sink, and he hurriedly accelerated with a horse, and rushed into the camp like thunder, and saw countless soldiers cheering and jumping, not only his Chinese army, but also the battalions on the left and right sides were the same, and when he saw this, the face of the old fourteen was immediately ready The gloom sank, and the horse rushed to a guerrilla general who was shouting with excitement, and broke off with a cold voice.
"General Yu, General Yanxin and Lord Qincha have announced in public that they will withdraw their troops in the near future, and the last general has been waiting for a long time, so he lost his temper, and asked General Haihan to be one."
Seeing that it was the old fourteenth who was coming, the guerrilla general did not dare to ignore it, and hurriedly knelt down in front of the old fourteen's horse, and respectfully explained the reason.
"What?"
As soon as he heard such news, the old fourteen only felt a sudden pain in his chest, and a mouthful of blood had surged to his mouth, but he didn't want to lose his posture in public, so he forcibly swallowed the blood, but the blood line still came out of the corners of his mouth, but he didn't care to wipe it, and led his guards to gallop to the big tent of the Chinese army.
"Yanxin, you are so bold, you dare to spread rumors in the army without the consent of this king, is it 'wanting' to rebel?"
Lao Fourteen did not dismount, but raised his horsewhip and scolded Yanxin with his head and face.
"The general has misunderstood, the last general is just acting on orders, and Your Majesty has a will for you."
Yanxin is a neutral faction, never mixed with the dispute between the brothers, on weekdays to the old fourteen has always been obedient, to dare not have any contradictory words and deeds, but now is a different past, with the support of the holy will, Yanxin will no longer care about the authority of the old fourteen, not arrogant and humble on the top of the word.
"Your Majesty has an edict here, and the general Wang Yunyu still doesn't kneel down to listen to the announcement!"
Yan Xin's words had just fallen, and before the old fourteen could speak again, he saw that the middle-aged eunuch had already stepped forward, shook his hand, took out a rolled edict from his sleeve, raised it high above his head, and broke off his throat in a loud voice.
"Minister, love Xin Jueluo? Listen to the hadith. ”
The middle-aged eunuch was full of anger, and when he stopped drinking, the soldiers who were originally making a mess of noise suddenly quieted down, and the eyes of countless people immediately focused on the old fourteen, and the pressure brought by it was undoubtedly huge, and it directly oppressed the old fourteen. The color was extremely pale, although he was full of unconvinced, but in such a situation, the old fourteen really did not dare to do anything to openly resist the order, and in desperation, he could only bite his teeth, turn over and get off the horse, and knelt on the ground unwillingly, and responded angrily.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: The first emperor is very 'chaotic', and the general Wang Yunyu will immediately return to Beijing to praise the court, and he will be allowed to accompany him with twenty horsemen, escorted by Prince Ren Hongqing, and arrive in Beijing within 20 days within a time limit.
If it is said that many holy decrees in the past half a month are polite, this will is not the slightest bit of affection, although the number of words is not much, but the words are full of murderous energy, there is no doubt that if the old fourteen is not called, the next thing to come is not an edict, but a butcher's knife.
"Thanksgiving, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
At this moment, the hatred in the heart of the old fourteen for the third master can be said to be difficult to wash away even if the heart of the three rivers is exhausted, but no one is under the eaves, but he can't help but bow his head.
"General King, Your Majesty has an urgent call, and it must not be delayed, so please stop."
The old fourteenth party had just thanked him, and before he could stand up straight, the middle-aged eunuch had already waved his hand expressionlessly, and urged him.
"Father-in-law, please wait, how about King Rong Ben deal with the tail of his hands before setting off?"
Lao Fourteen was obviously unwilling to be deprived of military power like this, even if he knew that it was hopeless, he still wanted to make a final struggle.
"No need, the affairs of the army have been taken over by General Yanxin, and as for the military affairs in the northwest, Prince Ren has also taken care of it, so please go on the road with the old slave."
The middle-aged eunuch didn't intend to give Lao Fourteen such a chance to die at all, so he bluntly rejected Lao Fourteen's proposal. "Humph!" Lao Fourteen looked at the middle-aged eunuch, and then at the expressionless Yanxin and the generals behind him, seeing that no one came forward to support him at this time, how could he not know that the big thing had gone, even if there was a period of sadness and desolation in his heart, he didn't bother to do any more useless struggles, snorted heavily, turned over on the horse's back, and galloped outside the camp without saying a word......
