Chapter Ninety-Nine: I'd Rather Die
At the junction of Sichuan and Shaanxi, the 50,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners led by Wang Wenshao in advance had arrived, and the time they arrived was still a few days away from the one-month period, so Wang Wenshao ordered the troops to be stationed.
A breeze blew, his beard fluttered slightly along the direction of the wind, Wang Wenshao stood on top of a mountain, looking at the country of the motherland at the moment, Sichuan can be said to have changed hands, and the garrisons around the country may not dare to resist. Who has the guts to fight each other while still fighting an earthquake? What's more, the other party doesn't seem to have sent troops to Chengdu and other plain cities, but more to the mountains.
Wang Wenshao sighed, touched his beard with one hand, pressed the other hand on his war knife, gently brushed the hilt, and couldn't help showing a burst of regret in his eyes, he seemed to be already powerful in the eyes of outsiders, but what about in front of the real power? Isn't it just like an ant, which will be extinguished? The only thing I can do now is to procrastinate.
"Sanxi, you haven't been with the old man for a short time, right?" Wang Wenshao took advantage of the fact that the Eight Banners were busy spending time and drinking, and led his personal guard Sanxi to a corner of the barracks.
Sanxi touched his head, smiled on his lips, and immediately replied, "My lord, Sanxi has been with you for more than ten years." ”
"Well, it's been more than ten years, and the old man hasn't given you anything, so don't blame the old man for being unsympathetic." Wang Wenshao sighed in his heart, yes, when Sanxi followed him, he was just a soldier who had just come out of his hometown, and he saw that the young and strong boy at that time now gradually had some gray hair, and he didn't seem to have given him anything except some money.
"My lord, where did you say, if it wasn't for the adults who took in Sanxi, Sanxi would have starved to death on the streets by now, and he wouldn't have the money to marry a daughter-in-law." Sanxi is accustomed to lowering his mentality, Wang Wenshao said this at this time, and Sanxi, who has followed him for more than ten years, naturally knows that something big is going to happen.
"Sanxi, the old man is not young, he is almost alive in this life, you are still young, and you have a great future, I also fancy your speed when we come here this time, and you are clever enough, I am afraid that he will die on the road when others come." Wang Wenshao's eyes suddenly showed a sadness, calling others Maybe they will die, but if they don't let them come, they will definitely die, Cixi is ruthless, he can do anything, if he only kills the Wang family this time, it's okay to say, if he even kills the guards or something, it will be troublesome, this is what Wang Wenshao is most worried about. Thinking of this, Wang Wenshao turned around and looked around, and after finding that no one had found them, he fell into Sanxi's ear and said: "Sanxi, the old man will give you a way to live, as for whether you can get out alive or not, it's up to you, ...... you do this."
"My lord, by all means, if you really do this, the lady and the son will also die." After listening to Wang Wenshao's arrangement, Sanxi hurriedly knelt on the ground in fright, although this matter has little to do with him, and Wang Wenshao seems to have expected that he has already let several family members of the guards move out of the city, but if he really wants to do this, he will undoubtedly tell Cixi, you can destroy my entire clan now.
"The old man has been an official for so many years, and many things have been seen more clearly, since the superior wants to rectify you, you can't run away anyway, this time we do it according to their will is this result, not according to his will to do it is also this result, the only difference is that one has to bear the infamy of the ages, one can at least not be scolded so badly, Sanxi, after doing this time, you will quietly lead your wife and children incognito, and live the second half of your life in peace, don't avenge me or go to the official again, Officialdom is a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones, which will only make people fall deeper and deeper. Wang Wenshao swept his beard with his left hand, he is old, and he has been in the officialdom for so many years, he has already developed the habit of touching his beard from time to time, which seems to be a symbol of his power.
Sanxi and Wang Wenshao finally returned to the barracks tent leisurely, at this time, the leaders of the Eight Banners camp were already drinking wine in the Chinese military tent, and even Wang Wenshao's general position was occupied, and in the end Wang Wenshao could only laugh at it, anyway, the old man has lived for so many years, even if he dies, there is no regret, the only regret is to harm the whole family, but these Eight Banners soldiers are different, every time I think that there will be so many Eight Banners soldiers to bury for themselves, Wang Wenshao's heart The pain is much smaller.
Sanxi took advantage of the cover of the night to sneak over the fence and ran out of the barracks, and when he came to camp, Sanxi had already observed the surrounding situation, so it was a smooth journey after just escaping. Thinking of Wang Wenshao's unyielding loyal bones and now he is going to end up with the name of resisting the will, Sanxi's heart is constantly dripping blood, Wang Wenshao has the grace of knowing Sanxi, and even more cultivated, but now Wang Wenshao wants to live by himself, and he has to bear the number one who has been misunderstood in his life.
It is impossible for each generation of regimes to be recognized by the regime of the previous dynasty, let alone record their merits and good deeds, and even smear them with a large sum of money, which is not difficult to see that every dynasty in history is like this, such as the Great Qin Empire, the first emperor unified the six countries, unified the currency and writing, and unified the Chinese for the first time, which can be described as an emperor through the ages, but what was his result after the fall of the Great Qin Empire? Isn't it still said that the Han Empire, the first power in China, is worthless? Although the Han Empire was once the most powerful empire in the world, what could it be? Later dynasties don't discredit the same? Or simply do not recognize their merits? If it weren't for the great destruction of the Xiongnu, the deep people's favor and the next generation, I believe that by now few people know that the Han Empire once wiped out the Huns, who were called the most powerful empire in the world by the West, and the Huns did not dare to return to Asia.
Sanxi doesn't know what the outcome of Wang Wenshao will be, but he doesn't want to see Wang Wenshao become a historical sinner, or even become a Han man who has been infamous for eternity, and he wants to tell the truth of the facts until he is recognized by the world.
Sanxi felt that he was tripped over something, and his body was thrown to the ground heavily, and he just wanted to get up and continue to move forward but felt that he was being pushed by something, a feeling of being so uncomfortable, Sanxi slowly raised his head, only to see two people dressed strangely, holding foreign guns in their hands against themselves.
"Who?" One of the big men turned his back to the moonlight, leaving only a dark shadow for Sanxi to see.
"Who are you?" Sanxi asked rhetorically, in order to prevent himself from being caught by the Eight Banners, he did not directly report his name, although he did not have such a strange costume until the Eight Banners soldiers, but no one knew if they would disguise themselves and let themselves be fooled.
The big man didn't reply, but glanced at the other big man, the other big man understood, put away his weapon, took a step forward and lifted Sanxi directly, slammed into a big tree behind him, and immediately searched for him.
"The people around Wang Wenshao?" Dahan picked up the token of Wang Wenshao's guard that he searched from Sanxi and looked at it.
"I stole it." Sanxi hurriedly said, now it's not even clear who the other party is, if you answer hastily, who will die or live in the end? What's more, his task has not yet been completed.
"Take him to the company." The big man said to his comrades behind him.
In the company headquarters, the company commander and several soldiers looked at the three joys who were tied up like a zongzi and shook their heads again and again, no matter what they said, the other party just refused to speak, just to say that they wanted to see their own commander, the commander who could talk, and the angry crowd secretly scolded the mother, and said that at the end of your fanfare, we knew it as soon as we came out of Yanjing City, and we were ready, now that you are here, we have already mastered the dynamics of your troops, and you are even the most important thing I have until I still pretend to have any secrets to see your superiors before you are willing to say?
"You're coming to attack us, and the vanguard has arrived, and is already camping for the follow-up troops, am I right?" The company commander lit a cigarette, sat on the stool opposite Sanxi and stared at Sanxi and asked.
Sanxi's body suddenly trembled when he heard the words of the company commander, and he asked in his heart how did he know? His face gradually showed an anxious state, if after their attack began, then Lord Wang would definitely have to recite the name in the end, in order to repay the master's kindness and so on, Sanxi decided to let go, tell the little officer in front of him everything, and then find a way to get close to his superiors. "Lord Wang will not give an order to attack, Lord Wang wants me to come and ask me to inform you to get ready, the follow-up troops will arrive in about three days, Lord Wang hopes that you can fight for the Han people, and don't let the Manchu Tartars succeed."
What the? Wang Wenshao actually sent someone to inform him to prepare for defense? And said that he would not give the order to attack? The troops who came to attack this time did not listen to Wang Wenshao's command, everyone knows, the court let Wang Wenshao to command the troops is to let him bear this infamy, once the commander does not give an order, the people below make military actions privately, then all the consequences will be responsible for the people who act privately, at that time Wang Wenshao is at best the charge of lax management of his subordinates, but this method can only drag on three days, after the arrival of the army, at that time if Wang Wenshao does not give the attack order, then Wang Wenshao is to resist the order, It's to be killed, unless...... Thinking of this, the company commander was a little uncomfortable, did he really dare to do this?
The company commander hurriedly found the battalion commander and informed the battalion commander of the situation, and at the same time handed over Sanxi to the battalion commander, who in turn contacted the division commander directly, and finally Sanxi finally met the commander of the 67th Division after a few hands.
"The surname Wang, even if you are old, you can't afford to stay in the tent so late." An officer of the Eight Banners scolded and pushed open Wang Wenshao's big tent and walked in.
Everything in front of him deeply shocked the Manchu officer, and he saw Wang Wenshao lying quietly on the marching bed at this time, holding the war knife tightly in his right hand, which was stained with blood, and the blood on his neck had already formed a blood clot, and Wang Wenshao's blood was on the bedding, clothes, and bed.
The commander of the army committed suicide before the war, and the news spread throughout the entire army camp for a while, and the whole camp was suddenly in chaos, although Wang Wenshao did not have substantive military power, but he was also a nominal commander of the army, and the general committed suicide, which was still a great blow to morale.
