Chapter 385: I Don't Accept It
As for the people in Jiangnan, although they do support Fang Xinxiong very much, most of this support is reflected in words. When the war really began, they couldn't help much.
At most, it's just a matter of supplies.
As for wanting to let the common people join the war to resist the Great Sui army together, it is absolutely impossible, at least Fang Xinxiong does not have that kind of appeal at all, and he can't let those people willingly die for him in vain.
This also made Fang Xinxiong more and more frightened and desperate the more he fought.
In the end, it completely came to the point where there was no way to retreat, and when it retreated to the side of a big river, it was already completely surrounded by the Great Sui army, and unless you led the crowd to jump into the big river, there was no possibility of escaping.
It's just that the big river is turbulent, at least dozens of meters deep.
Most of his thieves were landlubbers who couldn't swim at all. Therefore, instead of jumping into the river, it is better to fight to the death.
At this moment, Fang Xinxiong was standing by the river with a spear in his hand, his face full of grief and indignation.
From a distance, the age difference between Fang Xinxiong and Li Wei is not much, but compared to the latter, it looks a lot more vicissitudes, with a beard on his face.
"Fang Xinxiong, surrender, you have no chance." Shan Daozhen was wearing armor and riding majestically on a war horse, while Shan Xiongxin was not far away and looked at it from afar, and had no intention of participating in the war.
Compared to him, Shan Dao really needs combat exploits, and if he can capture Fang Xinxiong alive, he will definitely be able to further make a name for himself when he goes back this time.
Although Shan Xiongxin also urgently needs to prove himself to the imperial court, at this juncture, he still chooses to give this opportunity to Shan Daozhen, after all, he only has this one son.
If his son can grow up as soon as possible, it is undoubtedly much better than becoming a generation of famous generals himself.
As for Fang Xinxiong, he first glanced at the soldiers around him who were slightly sparse and all of them were scarred, and a trace of unwillingness appeared in his eyes.
"Three days ago, I had more than 10,000 people, and now, there are only a few hundred left."
"Recuperate, cultivate hard for several years, and in the end, can't you even support it for three days?"
Fang Xinxiong was extremely disappointed in his heart, and not only did Jiangnan lose, but also the people he sent to Jiangdu. It can be said that he has completely lost all possible opportunities for a comeback, and at this point barring a miracle, it is ......
As soon as he thought of this, Fang Xinxiong couldn't help laughing miserably, looked at Shan Daozhen from afar, and said hatefully: "Shan Daozhen, you remember, today I am not defeated in your hands, but I am defeated by bad luck, if it weren't for my showdown too early, today's ending will definitely be very different!" ”
"Oh, people who are about to fail always like to find some untenable excuses to cover up their incompetence."
Shan Daozhen shook his head and smiled dumbly: "Heaven is forgivable, but you can't live for your own evil." If you and your subordinates had not opposed the Great Sui, but had devoted themselves to the imperial court like Wagangzhai, you would not have fallen into such a situation. ”
"Let's just say that you're on the wrong track."
"I ...... Going the wrong way? Fang Xinxiong's eyes flashed a little dazed, and then he gritted his teeth and said: "No, I didn't walk wrong, a faint man like Yang Guang, why should I help the abuse like you?" People live for a lifetime, and they should take it as their responsibility to save the dawn of life! ”
"You are wrong, Your Majesty is not a faint king." Shan Daozhen looked at him with pity in his eyes: "You are far away in the south of the Yangtze River, you obviously have many opportunities to get to know Emperor Yang of Sui, but you have never done that." ”
"Or rather, you have already done that, but after knowing that Your Majesty is a Ming monarch, you still choose to rebel for the ambition in your heart."
"Why do you say he's not a faint king?" Fang Xinxiong is still forcibly quibbling.
Shan Daozhen sneered: "Don't be complacent, I advise you to go to Jiangdu more often, just find a common person to ask, if there is a person who calls His Majesty a faint monarch, I will lose." ”
"It's a pity, though, that you don't have that chance anymore."
Hearing this, Fang Xinxiong's face kept changing.
That's right, when he had a rebellion back then, it was indeed because Yang Guang was a tyrant, not to mention him, the world was so big, everyone wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible, just look at the situation of Wagangzhai at that time, they got a lot of support in a short period of time, and they became a righteous army.
It is no exaggeration to say that Wagangzhai at that time was the idol in Fang Xinxiong's heart.
Later, he had a certain amount of power and had more than 10,000 people. Seeing that he already had the opportunity to overthrow the Great Sui, he inadvertently learned that Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty changed his mind and changed from a faint monarch to a Ming monarch who worked hard.
How can this be easily accepted by Fang Xinxiong, who has been preparing for many years?
In the end, he could only deceive himself, deceive the people around him, and hurriedly declare a rebellion for the sake of the grand hegemony he wanted to achieve, and went to the opposite side of the Great Sui.
Now, he is at the end of his rope, and he was pointed at his nose by Shan Xiongxin to expose the lie, and his originally extremely firm mind immediately began to sway, especially the arrogant body, which has gradually been shattered.
"I'm not convinced, I'm not convinced!" Thinking of this, Fang Xinxiong couldn't help but roar angrily, the momentum was so strong that even the river behind him rippled a little.
"Not convinced? What's the use of being dissatisfied? Fang Xinxiong, I advise you not to resist stubbornly, even if it is not for your sake, you should also think about these soldiers around you, they have already paid too much for you, if you are dying, do you still want to take them to your funeral? "Single, really cold.
Hearing this, Fang Xinxiong shifted his gaze and glanced at the faces of the people around him.
But I found that Shan Daozhen's words just now made many people excited, although they still had weapons in their hands, but when they looked at Fang Xinxiong, their eyes were extremely evasive, obviously, after seeing the countless deaths and injuries of their companions around them, they didn't want to follow in their footsteps.
If I have the opportunity, I still want to save this life and live well.
Fang Nobuo, who took in all the eyelids of this scene, didn't speak, didn't know what to say, only felt his heart unusually tired.
opened his mouth and said weakly: "Shan Dao is really right, you really don't need to die with me, if you want to surrender, put down your arms now, I Nobuo, I don't blame you." ”
As soon as the words fell, the sound of countless weapons landing on the field immediately sounded, and many people squatted on the ground one after another to show that they had given up resistance.
Seeing this, the corners of Fang Xinxiong's mouth set off a self-deprecating arc, took a deep breath, stopped looking at these people, and stared at Shan Daozhen with his eyes.
