Chapter 135: Guo Beifeng's Death
Guo Zhifeng listened to Li Xian's words, and said with a sneer: "Defeated and captured? First of all, the guards around me can resist for a certain amount of time, and I will take this opportunity to go to the outside of the tent to get the rescuers, as long as I raise my arms, the elite cavalry under the command of General Ashina will immediately arrive and surround your camp to attack, so how many chances do you have to escape? ”
But Li Xian laughed and said: "I didn't expect you to be so stubborn, but it seems that you are also a type who does not see the coffin and does not shed tears, so I will let you see where the Turkic cavalry you rely on is now?" ”
After finishing speaking, I saw Li Xian say something to a guard beside him, and the guard nodded and walked out of the back door of the camp tent - it turned out that this camp tent actually had a back door.
After a while, I heard a voice outside the tent shouting: "Guo Beifeng is plotting against him, he wants to put the prince under house arrest and forcibly extort military power, but now he has been captured, and you are waiting for the thieves to make trouble, do you want to die?" If you know each other, you will lay down your arms and surrender early, and the king will only ask about the first evil, and the threat will not ask, so you may be able to save your life, if you resist, not only will you be killed, but your wife will also be affected. ”
Guo Zhifeng was originally calm, but after hearing this, he suddenly shook his whole body, gritted his teeth and said, "Ashina, you actually betrayed me?" ”
saw Li Xian laugh and said: "Guo Beifeng, you really think too highly of yourself, General Ashina is not attached to you in the first place, how can you betray?" General Ashina has always been the most loyal, is the Tang Sheji, is a saint, what are you? Is it worth his allegiance or betrayal? ”
And with Li Xian's words, only a sparse ping-pong sound was heard outside the tent, it was obvious that some of Guo Beifeng's personal guards were resisting, but this voice only lasted for a moment and then there was no sound, no matter who knows, the weak resistance has been cleared, and this means that the foreign aid that Guo Beifeng relies on has completely lost hope.
"General Guo, surrender, now that the country is employing people, as long as you are willing to reform your ways, cooperate with this king with one heart and one mind, and fight against a strong enemy, this king can consider sparing your life." Li Xian also knew that Guo Beifeng's talent was not bad, so he was willing to give him a chance, after all, if he joined, he would become more sure of guarding Dafeichuan.
But Guo Zhifeng knew that he was completely finished, and now that he had lost his military power, he was jointly pitted by Li Xian and Ashina Daozhen, and his prestige fell to the bottom, even if he had the trust of the martial queen, he would not be able to pass this hurdle.
"Hehe, the eldest husband lives for a lifetime, just for a breath, after I Guo was named a famous general, I have been in the military since I was a child, claiming to be a civil and military all-rounder, not losing to anyone in the world, but that Xue Rengui is just a field Shelanger, and he actually rode on my head as a prestige, how can I be convinced? And you, Li Xian, a mere Huangkou child, are you dictating to me? Isn't it because of a good background? If I were from such a background, I would have become the crown prince a long time ago, where is I like you? There is also this Ashina true ......"
At this time, Guo Beifeng saw that Ashina Daozhen had already entered the camp, so he pointed to the other party and said: "I, Guo Beifeng, am blind and have seen the wrong person, otherwise today's matter may not be successful." Alas, the past will not be talked about, but it is really my bad luck, but today, you let me live in the world, do you want me to watch you continue to show off your might? It's really hard for me to do this, even if I can die of anger, it's better to die than this, and live up to my reputation. ”
After finishing speaking, Guo Beifeng simply wiped the horizontal knife in his hand to his neck, only to see a rain of blood drifting by, Guo Beifeng's body fell to the ground, and he died.
Although Guo Beifeng is jealous and jealous, he is still quite kind to his subordinate generals, so after his death, it immediately caused a sad voice, and more than ten personal guards and generals Liu Da committed suicide and died.
At this time, the general named Zheng Jin was stroking the corpse and crying bitterly: "General, general, the last general advised you to be careful of Ashina's truth, but you didn't believe it, but what was the result?" If it weren't for him, what we do today might not have been successful. ”
After finishing speaking, Zheng Jin swung his horizontal knife and slashed at Ashina Daozhen, and shouted loudly: "Good traitor, take your life." ”
However, he saw several Turkic warriors blocking in front of Ashina Daozhen, each wielding the scimitar in his hand and rushing up, ready to split Zheng Jin's body with a chaotic blade.
But he heard a loud shout: "Wait! ”
Immediately, I saw a person break into the encirclement of the Turkic warriors, and desperately blocked a few scimitars that slashed at Zheng Jin, and then said: "Keep people under the knife!" ”
When the Turkic warriors saw that it was Sun Fei, another general under Guo Beifeng's command, who was blocking them, they couldn't help but sneer together, and swung their knives at the two people again.
However, the Turkic warriors only felt a flower in front of them, and saw a figure break in, and immediately heard a clanging sound, and these Turkic warriors all felt their wrists tingle, so they had to give up and continue the attack.
They were originally surprised by the strength of the person who came, but when they saw the person who came, they immediately felt relieved, because the person who came was Li Xian, the king of Zhou.
But then they were confused again, because these two were rebels, and now it is not normal for them to kill these two people? But why did Li Xian stop it again?
In fact, it is not just them? Most of the people in the tent, including Ashina Daozhen, were puzzled.
Li Xian naturally knew everyone's doubts, but he didn't care about them, he went straight to Sun Fei, took a brief look, and then said, "Sun Fei, are you okay?" ”
I only heard that Sun Fei shook his head and said: "Thank you to the king, the last general is not a big problem, tell the king, this Zheng Jin is the last general's righteous friend, this person is wise, and loyal and brave, even the last general is impressed, the king killed this person, it is a pity, it is better for the king to let him go, let him serve the country, and he will definitely achieve extraordinary achievements in the future." ”
At this time, he heard Zheng Jin shouting: "Good traitor, it turns out that you are a traitor, who is your best friend?" Zheng is blind, I know a friend like you, don't talk nonsense, I will not surrender, if I want to kill, I have to listen to the respect, if I frown on Monday, I am not a hero. ”
"Sun Fei was originally a guard in my house, and later made great contributions when he was in the Ping Goguryeo, and he was transferred to the left guard camp, he saw that Guo Zhifeng was not conducive to the country, and he was the first to be righteous, Fang is truly loyal, how can he be called a traitor?"
"It turns out that this person has already laid down his eyeliner, but fortunately I saw the opportunity quickly." Ashina Dao really heard Li Xian say this, and couldn't help but quietly shed a cold sweat, because Guo Beifeng conspired to usurp power, even if he didn't report it, there would definitely be this Sun Fei to report, and the result was that he would definitely be included in the suspect, and with this little force in his hands, it was not to say that it was difficult to deal with Li Xian, even if he could deal with it, the emperor would definitely dismantle himself.
Not to mention that Ashina was really secretly happy, but said that Li Xian glanced at everyone, and then said loudly: "However, Guo Beifeng ignored the interests of the country, and repeatedly violated General Xue's moderation for his own selfish interests, which is not counted, after all, it is a small section, but in order to compete with General Xue, he actually ignored the safety of my Dafeichuan camp, and repeatedly sent troops to fight for the first merit of capturing Wuhai, which is really too much, you need to know that the army is the army of the imperial court, although Guo Beifeng is the commander of the army, The soldiers in the battalion were not his personal own. The so-called success of a general and the heroic sacrifice of soldiers for the interests of the country deserve our respect, but no matter who it is, it cannot drive them to make senseless sacrifices! ”
Li Xian's words immediately resonated with all the soldiers, and they couldn't help shedding tears: as small soldiers, they usually plant the land of the imperial court, but they also pay taxes to the imperial court, in addition to undertaking military service, they must obey unconditionally in battle, and some even have to bring their own weapons and equipment. They are desperate to protect their families and defend the country, on the one hand, for the peace of the country and the stability of the society, and on the other hand, why don't they hope to use their lives to win a fame, or to exchange some land for a better life for their wives and children?
However, in order to fight for his own merits, the generals in the army did not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of the soldiers, but also held the talisman in the palm of his hand, and tended these soldiers to fight battles that had no chance of winning, which was simply treating their lives as if they were mustard!
Li Xian naturally saw everyone's reaction, but he didn't say anything sympathetic, but said to Zheng Jin: "Zheng Zhuangshi, let's talk about it, this time all the soldiers of my Dafeichuan camp are all dispatched, can you break through from the siege of the enemy army who was ambushed before?" Even if they are lucky enough to break through, how many people will be left? Even if many soldiers survived, what is the weight of food and grass? The army has no food and grass, so what can it do if it captures Wuhai? In the end, will our army still have to retreat? If this matter is ambushed by Tubo again, how many people will be left of the 50,000 army? How many lives does Guo Beifeng need to lose because of his own selfishness? How many big things need to be missed? In this way, he will not be able to pay for it even if he dies ten more times! ”
Zheng Jin listened to what Li Xian said, and felt more and more frightened, and in the end, he broke out in a cold sweat, and his whole body was trembling slightly.
But Li Xian didn't finish speaking, he glanced at Zheng Jin, knowing that this person was really a loyal man, and then sighed again: "Actually, I didn't care about this military power, I made it clear that as long as General Guo gave up the plan to send troops again, I am willing to hand over the military power and try my best to help him guard the Dafeichuan camp, because this place has a lot to stake, and there is no room for loss, and it is precisely because of this that I would rather be misunderstood and greedy for power, but also to prevent Guo Zhifeng from sending troops, if the strong man does not believe it, You can ask General Ashina and the attendants around General Guo to see if I said this? If there is half a lie, let Li Xianqi bleed to death. (To be continued.) )
