Chapter 609: General with Broken Arm
There was a lot of noise in the conference hall of the General's Mansion of Nuoda, and the civil and military generals sat down separately, whispering to each other, and of course, there were many people who had a strange atmosphere among themselves, even if they sat opposite each other, they still turned a blind eye, and there was obviously a lot of contradiction.
Wang Xu walked in from the side door and went straight to the top commander, with a calm face, without saying a word.
"Lord!"
With his figure, the military generals of Wenchen and military generals present instantly left their seats and knelt on the ground, saluting excitedly.
"Sit down!" He waved his hand and gestured indifferently.
"No!" Everyone returned to their positions, and there was still excitement in their expressions.
At this time, Wang Xu's gaze swept over the people present, although many generals were now fighting outside, almost half of the people in this conference hall were still seated.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have heard a lot about my return from the north, and I am deeply disappointed."
The people present, who didn't understand what he was referring to, all of them suddenly felt ashamed in their hearts, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to look at them.
He didn't care, and continued: "Since the beginning of my army, the General's Mansion has always been united, invincible, invincible, everyone is like a family, with one heart and one mind, in my heart, with you, I can rest assured." Unfortunately, this time, you have disappointed me too much! ”
The people here are all at the highest level of the General's Mansion, and they are the core of Jing Yi's forces, and many of them are old people who have followed him for many years, so their loyalty is still very high. ”
"Needless to say." Wang Xu looked at them and said lightly: "Although all the princes are at fault, the main blame is not you. I'm just a little lamented. When the princes confronted each other and hated each other. Do you remember that you had dinner with each other in the same pot? Do you remember that when the power was weak, you once nibbled on a dry cake and drank a bowl of water together? Do you remember that you once entrusted your life? ”
"The ministers know their mistakes!" The ministers knelt on the ground and kowtowed in unison.
Although Wang Xu didn't accuse too much, these words were the most heart-wrenching. Especially those old ministers who followed him at the earliest, their feelings were even more complicated.
"It's good to know what you're wrong." Wang Xu's eyes swept over, and his tone gradually became stern: "Now that the world is undecided, it is an eventful time, you must not have any personal anger in the future, you should release your previous suspicions, work together, and conspire to do great things, if there is anyone in the future who does not focus on the overall situation, I will never forgive." ”
The retainers were reprimanded. He knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head.
Wang Xu watched for a long time. Only then did he wave his hand and say, "Get up!" ”
At this moment, he didn't want to continue talking, because it was not the time to dig deeper, and he needed to wait for Guo Jia and others to pacify the Nanban and then really deal with the civil strife. Then he turned his gaze to an unexpected person, a person who should not have been here, a person who had puzzled him from the moment he first entered the council chamber.
"Wenpin, you're not in Nanyang, why are you here?"
"Lord, my subordinates have stepped down from the post of Nanyang Taishou, and General Gao Shun Gao is currently guarding Nanyang!" Wen Ping replied.
"And where do you do it now?" Wang Xu asked in a deep voice.
Wen Ping suddenly fell silent, and only after a moment did he say hoarsely: "No position!" If it weren't for the summons of the Dragon Tiger Guard today, the last general should not have come here. ”
Wang Xu was instantly stunned, how could a good general be so idle, who would seize the power? He didn't believe that Xu Shu would give such an idiot-like order.
"What's going on? Why did General Wenpin come to this? He didn't ask about Wen Ping, but looked at the other Wen Chen generals in the hall.
Everyone had a difficult look on their faces, and they didn't know how to answer, and Wen Ping himself was silent and lowered his head.
It wasn't until Wang Xu's face rose a little angry that he sighed slightly: "Lord, it's hard to say much about this matter, let's talk about General Wenpin himself!" ”
Wang Xu's doubts were even stronger, and he looked at Wen Ping at the moment, and said quickly: "Zhongye, why!" But someone is embarrassing you? ”
"Lord, don't do other people's business." Wen Ping finally spoke, but his face was full of bitterness: "It's the Nanyang Taishou who resigned at the end." ”
"Zhongye, why is this? But I treat you poorly? Wang Xu suddenly became angry and asked loudly.
"The lord is as kind to the last general, why treat him lightly!" Wen Ping immediately shook his head.
"Then why did you resign?" Wang Xu said sharply.
"Lord!" Wen Ping's expression has always been wrong, and at this moment, his face has changed, and his tiger eyes are full of tears.
After a long time, a line of tears slipped down his cheeks, and he stood up suddenly, knelt on the ground, and cried bitterly: "Please forgive the last general who can no longer serve the lord, and can no longer attack the city for the lord!" ”
In an instant, Wang Xu's pupils contracted rapidly, staring at Wen Ping's left hand without blinking, because he was sitting at the back of the hall and was blocked by everyone, he couldn't see it, and it wasn't until this moment that he found that his entire left sleeve was empty.
After being silent for a while, he took a deep breath and asked tremblingly, "Zhongye, where are your hands?" ”
Wen Ping, a strong man, was already in pain at the moment, unable to answer, not only because of the loss of an arm, but also because as a general, as a warrior, but no longer able to gallop the sorrow of the field, for him, this is the loss of dignity, more painful than the death on the battlefield.
He let out a long sigh and took the words helplessly; "In the first battle of Nanyang, General Wen made outstanding achievements, in order to cover the transfer of Xu Huang and Huang Zhong, the two generals, fought alone against Xiahoudun and Zhu Ling, and his left arm was beheaded by Xiahoudun, and he fell off the horse, if it were not for General Gao Shun to lead the troops in time, I am afraid that he would have died on the battlefield."
"Zhongye!"
Also as a general, Wang Xu understood his mood very well, and suddenly got up and stepped forward to help him personally.
"Lord!" Wen Ping couldn't stop crying, and refused to get up. "Why didn't General Gao let me die on the battlefield, why didn't he let me die as I deserved, why didn't he let Xiahou kill me, why did you save me, the last general is now better than dead, life is better than death!"
Maybe others can't understand it, but Wang Xu empathizes, as a real warrior, as a strong general, as a warrior who will not frown with a knife on his neck, what is cut off is not only an arm, but also dignity.
"Zhongye. Get up! Wang Xu choked up and tried to help him up.
"Lord!" Wen Ping's will has collapsed. Crying bitterly and unwilling to get up.
Wang Xu couldn't help him up for a long time. Looking at Wen Ping, who was depressed at the moment and still had a strong smell of alcohol, his heart was also sour. "Wen Ping, you are a general, you are the general of Jingzhou, what kind of system does this look like, give me up!"
"My lord." Wen Ping still cried to himself: "The last general can't dance the spear anymore, and he can't dance anymore." You can no longer go into battle to kill the enemy, you can no longer go into battle to kill the enemy! ”
Wang Xu was helpless and kicked over. "You get up for me."
Wen Ping was kicked by this kick and turned over twice, choking and coughing, and the smell of alcohol around him became even stronger.
Seeing this, the ministers were also unbearable, and they all showed regret on their faces, Fa Zheng hurriedly got up and persuaded: "Lord, General Wen has suffered a heavy setback, and he has been drinking every day recently. I'm afraid I'm a little drunk at the moment, and I hope the lord won't blame him. ”
The original Fa is a good heart. I wanted to intercede, but I didn't expect Wang Xu to hear this, and when he saw Wen Ping's appearance again, he was even more angry, and kicked it hard. "Drink! I'll let you drink, I'll let you drink enough! ”
At this moment, how much he hoped that Wen Ping would be angry, how much he hoped that he could be provoked to anger, but he didn't expect Wen Ping to ignore it, and still let him beat and scold, completely losing all his courage, self-confidence, and self-esteem.
"Someone! Bring the wine! Wang Xu drank suddenly, angrily staring at Wen Ping, who collapsed to the ground, becoming more and more drunk and misty.
Anyone who drinks alcohol knows that the lower the emotion, the easier it is to get drunk, and Wen Ping's drunkenness is more obvious now, obviously because his will is more depressed.
After a short time, the doorman brought two jars of wine.
Wang Xu grabbed Wen Ping's collar and lifted it up directly. "Wenpin, if you want to drink, I'll let you drink enough."
"Lord ......"
Fa Zheng hurriedly tried to persuade him, but Fu Zhu suddenly grabbed him and shook his head slightly.
The wine jar was picked up by Wang Xu, vigorously slapped open the sealing mud, and brought it to Wen Ping's mouth: "Drink, aren't you asking to get drunk?" Let you drink enough today, as much as you want, I will give you as much as you want! ”
"Drink? Why don't you drink it? ”
"Aren't you going to drink? You give me a drink! ”
Wang Xu's angry voice echoed in the conference hall, the wine in the jar was splashed all over the body, and everyone in the civil and military forces was silent, Zhou Zhi couldn't bear it in his heart, and whispered: "Boss, forget it!" ”
"Count, how to calculate, a good brother has become like this, you can see it, I can't stand it, it's really better to die in battle, and there is a place to return!" Wang Xu glared angrily and scolded.
Xu Sheng also stood up and persuaded: "Lord, when General Wen is fully sober, it is not too late to persuade again." ”
"How can he be sober like this?"
No matter who it is, Wang Xu is really scolded. "Wen Ping, is the place where you have to kill people to be the battlefield? Fu Zhu, Fa Zheng, Tian Feng, Guo Jia, Kuai Yue, all the civil servants in this hall, if they have not personally killed the enemy, are they not fighting, are they not heroes, have they become cowards? I sue you that they are all heroes, and they are all valiant warriors. ”
"You don't have a hand, you can't dance a spear, but your head is still around your neck, you still have legs, you have a right hand, and you can rely on your wisdom."
Wen Ping finally had a reaction at this moment, but his eyes were still full of gloom: "The last general is a martial artist, he knows some ways of battle formations, how can he compare with them?" ”
"Takefu? Are you born with martial arts? But if you study hard and practice hard, you can learn martial arts, why can't you learn anything else? Wang Xu angrily reprimanded: "Besides, you are in Nanyang, you are well governed, although you are assisted by county officials, but if you don't have you, how can you operate in an orderly manner, why are you so arrogant and practice yourself?" The Wen Ping in my heart, the Wen Zhongye in my heart, is a heroic man who stands up to the sky, not your current wine bag and rice bag. ”
Wen Ping himself is also a hero, but the broken arm has too much impact on his thoughts, his cognition as a martial artist is broken, and his faith is broken, so he fell into confusion.
Wang Xu observed this, finally put down his collar, took a few steps back, and said in a deep voice: "Zhongye, you can't dance with a gun, you can still practice knives, you can't fight with horses, you can also kill the enemy on foot, besides, you still have wisdom, there are still many places available, why are you so decadent." ”
"In the first battle of Nanyang, many brothers were killed, Yang Feng, Guan Hai and other brothers no longer even have the opportunity to fight, and you are still alive, and you still have the opportunity to continue fighting, which is a great luck."
Wen Ping's eyes are getting brighter and brighter, many times, people are just stuck in a bull's horn and can't pull it out, in fact, what is the difficulty of walking over and looking back?
Wang Xu didn't say anything more, what should have been said had already been said, turned around and walked to his handsome position, turned his back to Wen Ping and said, "You go back first, think about it!" Yang Feng died in battle, and there is no one to take over the position of General Diannong, I hope that when I see you again, you are already qualified to take over Yang Feng's position, don't let me down, let the soldiers who have followed you to the battlefield disappoint, let the brothers who fought side by side disappoint, you, do it yourself! ”
"Lord!" Wen Ping burst into tears.
Wang Xu ignored it, sighed, waved his hand, and said, "Zhou Zhi, send Wen Ping back!" ”
"Good!"
As Zhou Zhi helped Wen Ping to walk away, Wang Xu looked back, stared quietly for a moment, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Zhugong will report Jingzhou's internal affairs quickly!" (To be continued......)
