Chapter 278: Wang Ben's Choice, Loyalty and Filial Piety

"Old General!"

Yingcheng let out a thunderbolt scream on a sunny day.

Wang Ben outside rushed in, rushed to the head of the bed, touched Wang Qian's cold body, and shouted:

"Daddy!"

"Daddy!"

"Daddy!"

Moment.

There was a wail inside and outside the house.

"Daddy!"

Several middle-aged men rushed in, crying.

"Grandpa!"

"Uncle!"

"Sir!"

In the courtyard, in the room, there was a wail.

Yingcheng walked out of the room in annoyance, looking at the people kneeling outside the door and crying

The mood is even more somber.

There were a few children, standing there blankly, not knowing what to do.

When a child saw Yingcheng, he didn't forget to grin.

Just as Yingcheng moved to the side.

A young woman, dressed in plain clothes, came over and said, "Cheng'er! ”

"Third aunt!" Yingcheng Road.

This person is Wang Li's wife, the third princess of Daqin, Ying Fei, Wang Yuyan's stepmother, Ying Fei pulled a little girl like a porcelain doll, and pointed out:

"Yu Yan, I haven't seen your prison country yet."

Wang Yuyan looked up at Yingcheng with a blank face, and asked strangely, "You are my husband?" ”

"Yu Yan, don't be rude!" Ying Fei hurriedly corrected and explained to Ying Cheng: "Cheng'er forgive me, Yu Yan is still young and doesn't know how to be polite. ”

"It's okay!" Yingcheng waved his hand, gently half-squatted in front of Wang Yuyan, and said, "Yes, I am your future husband!" ”

"It's pretty good-looking." Wang Yuyan said with a smile.

"Hehe, it's a long time coming, take your time in the future!" Yingcheng got up, grabbed Wang Yuyan's other hand, and said, "If the third aunt has something, Cheng'er will take it first." ”

"Then, it's troublesome!" Ying Fei nodded, let go of her hand, smiled at Ying Cheng, took a few steps forward and knelt in front of the door, and ...... Joined the crying queue.

The people in the courtyard, a few people are true to each other, a few people are pretending, a few people are really crying, the world is confused and upside down, upside down and confused, when is it!

Yingcheng moved, pulled Wang Yuyan and walked beside Li Xian, and said, "Mother! ”

"Wang's daughter?" Li Xian has never met Wang Yuyan either, this is the first time he has seen him.

"Hmm!" Yingcheng nodded.

Li Xian smiled, squatted down gently, I don't know when, he had already touched a very delicate and small jade pendant in his hand, and said: "Yu Yan, I am your future husband's mother, the first time we met, this jade pendant is given to you, okay!" ”

said.

Li Xian held a glowing jade pendant and dangled it in front of Wang Yuyan.

"It's beautiful!" Wang Yuyan was attracted by the jade pendant at a glance.

Don't blame Wang Yuyan for being greedy.

Yingcheng saw the greed next to him.

The mutton fat white jade heart in Qilian jade has no impurities, as long as there is a little bit of light, the jade pendant will emit a translucent white light.

This kind of jade is rare even in the Great Qin Imperial Palace.

However, Wang Yuyan seemed greedy but didn't dare to take it.

Yingcheng smiled, took the jade pendant and said, "Take it, it's okay!" ”

"Hee-hee, thank you...... Mother. Wang Yuyan took the jade pendant shiningly, and swayed curiously in front of the firelight.

The whole jade pendant resembles a round white dot, emitting a white glow.

However, hearing Wang Yuyan's title, Li Xian was slightly embarrassed, hurriedly looked around, no one noticed, and whispered: "You kid, it's true, but now it's not allowed to be called that, now, it's not time to change your words." ”

"Why don't you call me aunt."

Aunt? Wang Yuyan looked at Li Xian strangely and said, "Why do you call it that?" ”

Li Xian explained: "Your mother is the third princess, and I am the wife of the third princess's brother, so I am naturally my aunt." ”

"Oh, aunt!" Wang Yuyan turned her head to look at Yingcheng strangely and asked, "Then aren't you my cousin, cousin Yingcheng?" ”

"You can call it that, too!" Yingcheng nodded.

In the midst of this conversation, several children came to Yingcheng's side again.

"Wang Fen visits the prison country!" The eldest one is also fourteen or fifteen years old.

The remaining ones, also between the ages of seven and eleven.

It was as if at this time, in this sad garden, it had become a meeting to recognize relatives.

The eldest brother, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, sister-in-law, these people will all be considered relatives in the future.

Little by little, time passed.

Inside the house, clothes are being gathered, corpses are collected.

And Wang Qian's status is indeed different, and it is even much more noble than winning, and the Wang family carried a jade coffin into the house.

An inner coffin made of a whole piece of Lantian jade.

The Wang family has long been prepared for Wang Qian's death, and it is a special preparation.

He has begun to put jade, bronze, and even a tripod into the jade coffin, especially a monument, which records Wang Qian's exploits.

There were more and more people in the courtyard, and many Wang clan relatives also came from Pinyang, and the howls were getting louder and louder.

But inside the house, Wang Ben and a few brothers didn't know what they were busy with.

For more than two hours, he had been tossing beside the jade coffin, listening to some gossip, as if he wanted to ensure the immortality of Wang Qian's body.

And it seems that this is not the meaning of the Wang family himself, but the intention of the first emperor, in this regard, he has long been prepared.

Especially.

According to the grapevine, Wang Qian's tomb is not in the ancestral tomb of the Wang family, but is to be buried next to the Mausoleum of the First Emperor.

Finally.

Wang Ben and the Wang brothers walked out carrying an inner coffin wrapped in a white cloth.

Get out of the way in the middle.

This is the inner residence of Wucheng Houfu.

Naturally, the mourning hall cannot be in the inner house, so you have to go to the outer courtyard to buy a mourning hall.

"Mother, rest in your house, after dawn, the son will inform his father to come back." Yingcheng sighed softly.

This is how it is.

With Wang Jian leaving, the situation in the court will have a series of very big changes.

And the marriage between Fusu Mansion and the Wang family is more of a marriage with Wang Qian, at this time, it is necessary for Fusu to come back and preside over the overall situation with the Wang family.

This is only the first change, and the smallest one.

"It's good!" Li Xian also felt tired, and she was able to come as pregnant, she had already given face to her in-laws.

It wasn't until near dawn that Wang Ben was busy and came to see Yingcheng for the first time.

"In fact, the minister's father has long run out of oil and dried up, and he started to eat very little a few days ago, but last night, after eating two bowls of rice porridge, he still wanted to eat a leg of mutton, and he could only mash the leg of mutton and pour soup."

"Actually, at that time, the last general felt that at the second moment of the son, the father suddenly shouted the second uncle, and the last general reacted and hurriedly went to Pinyang to call the second uncle, but it seems that the father also knows that there is not much time."

"I want to see the prison country, and I passed on a few brothers, Yu Yan advised."

"Seeing that my father didn't have much air in and rough breath, the last general could only be forcibly hanged with Mengyao, and waited for the prison country to come."

"Maybe my father's biggest regret in this life is to turn against his brother, at that time, the last general was also young, I don't know what it has to do, maybe I don't know the prison country."

"In fact, the second uncle has also been familiar with military books since he was a child, has extensive knowledge, and sometimes has the theory of the country, but, choose one of the two, since his father was a general, the second uncle has never left Pinyang, perhaps, this is also the reason why my father never forgets the second uncle."

"Dust to dust, dust to dust, people die and debts are gone, I only hope that the grievances of the previous generation will not affect this generation anymore!"

Wang Ben couldn't see sadness, and it seemed that he had seen too much life and death, and he didn't feel too much.

There are no regrets.

With filial piety under his knees, Wang Ben was transferred back to Xianyang, and he did not follow the southern tour, and he has no regrets about taking care of Wang Jian these days.

"General Wang mourns, Wu Cheng waits for the ...... It's peaceful! Yingcheng sighed softly, from then on, in his place, in addition to him crossing over, there seemed to be another unknown secret.

Wang Jian remembered his state before his death, and he will never forget it in his life.

When people die, where do they go?

Seeing that Wang Jian was about to die, under his gossip, Wang Jian suddenly seemed to be resurrected.

Especially.

Before Wang Jian died, what did the words mean?

During the time he was squatting in Wucheng Houfu, he was constantly thinking.

This sentence should be a prophecy.

Glowing and guarding the stars, it should be said that it is time.

The world will be in chaos, it should be literal.

It is not human to disobey, let him hesitate, if it is according to his meaning, it is the effort he is making now, which is of no help at all, and cannot change the fate of Daqin.

"South Vietnam?"

Yingcheng's mind was in turmoil.

"What?" Wang Ben asked strangely.

I don't know what Yingcheng is talking about.

But it's clear.

At this time, the two of them were not thinking the same thing.

"It's fine!" Yingcheng suddenly came to his senses and said, "Although it is inappropriate to mention it at this time, I still have to ask how General Wang will decide on the funeral of Wangxian and Wu Chenghou." ”

Wang Ben fell silent, staring gloomily at the morning light on the horizon.

Yingcheng didn't bother Wang Ben either.

The whole army of the Huben battalion opened up Wangxian County, and then the sheep outfit swept away the bandits in the area of Wangxian County, and responded to the crisis in Longxi at any time, once there was any bad news, the Huben battalion must enter Longxi as quickly as possible.

The commander of the Tiger Ben Battalion must be drawn with the army, and between Wu Chenghou's funeral and the Tiger Ben Battalion, he must choose one of the two, and it is impossible to take care of both.

Wu Chenghou's funeral is impossible to bury today.

Long.

Wang Ben said in a deep voice: "I also hope that the king of the prison country will leave Xianyang to preside over the funeral before going to the north." ”

"The Tiger Ben camp will be pulled out today, and after the last general settles down for the funeral, he will return to the camp immediately and lead the army westward."

"The last general believes that my father will understand if he knows it."

Yingcheng took a deep breath and said, "Okay, the eldest son will also come back from Yongzhou." ”

"Thank you for your kindness!" Wang Ben thanked him.

Yingcheng didn't have too much entanglement, and knew that Wang Ben still had a lot of things to deal with now, so he immediately asked concisely: "What does General Wang think about the Southern Expedition?" ”

"I mean, the three-way army of the southern expedition, Tu Sui is the commander, Zhao Tuo, Ren Huan is the main general, and the three routes are attacking South Vietnam, should you temporarily stop the expedition and then carry out the southern expedition after repairing."

Wang Ben didn't understand why Yingcheng wanted to mention this issue at this time, although he was suspicious, he still pondered for a moment and said: "The land of Nanyue is only a corner of the land of Baiyue. ”

"It is the remnants of the Baiyue Kingdom, the Eastern Wu Kingdom, including Huiji, Fault, the south and southwest parts of the Lujiang River, all of which are Yue people, and the Yue people can fight well, and the wild nature is difficult to tame, and it is indeed not easy to pacify."

"I, Daqin, also organized a large army to march south several times, and pushed the battle line all the way to the land of Nanling, which led to the hundred countries of Nanyue."

"In fact, the hundred countries of Nanyue are more like the remnants of the princes, mainly the royal families who died in the chaos of the former princes, the guilty nobles, the criminals who are not tolerated by the countries, and the savages in the mountains of Nanyue, forming a situation where hundreds of countries coexist in the narrow land of Nanyue."

"If the South Yue Kingdom had been placed in Jiangdong, Jiujiang, and Jibei, even if it was Bashu, it would have been pacified a long time ago."

"However, the land of Nanyue, because of the barrier of the Nanling Mountains and the mountains, cannot be cleared on a large scale, and can only rely on human lives to explore the road and attack."

"In fact, according to the meaning of the last general, between November and January at the end of the year, there will be more than a month of northeast wind in Nanling, and the method of attacking Nanling with fire will burn Nanling, burn out a road, fight steadily, advance Wuguan Road, and establish a grain and grass baggage route."

"Within five years, South Vietnam will be pacified with minimal losses."

"But His Majesty thought that this law would harm the peace of the heavens, so he launched an attack on the prisoners, relying on the prisoner army to advance the southern front with human lives."

"Although this law has drawbacks, the hundred countries of South Vietnam are not one, they are independent, as long as they are not a whole, this law can steadily pacify the land of South Vietnam."

"In fact, to pacify South Vietnam, Tu Sui's real enemy is not the hundred countries of South Vietnam, but the complex terrain of Nanling, especially the miasma, and he lost 3,000 before seeing the enemy."

"The battle of the Southern Expedition is a place of life and death, according to the estimate of the last general, 300,000 prisoner troops, and the battle loss to 100,000, can stabilize South Vietnam."

"Tu Sui is also a veteran, and he knows South Vietnam very well, so he can definitely pacify South Vietnam."

Yingcheng frowned and asked, "What if the hundred countries of South Vietnam are the same?" ”

Wang Ben also frowned, and said: "This should be impossible, there are many mountains and rivers in the Nanling Mountains, and it is almost impossible to merge into one." ”

"But if it is really internally unified, it will be very troublesome, as long as the three passes of Hengpu, Yangshan, and Huangxi are guarded, I am afraid that if you want to attack again, it will be very difficult."

"Is that so?" Yingcheng hesitated.

"What happened to South Vietnam, or did something happen to the Southern Expeditionary Army?" Wang Ben asked puzzled.

"Before the old general died, he repeatedly mentioned South Vietnam, saying that South Vietnam was in turmoil." Yingcheng paused slightly, and said, "It's just that I don't understand why the old general has such last words." ”

"Most of the Southern Expeditionary Army led by Tu Sui were convicts, and they were 200,000 to 300,000, and this method could indeed pacify South Vietnam."

"And I, Daqin, only need to ensure that the Lujiang River and Cangwu are stable, and the grain and grass will not be affected, especially now that General Mengwu has pacified the Huiji, it will make the Southern Expeditionary Army feel at ease."

"If what the old general said is true, then only as the general said, the unification of South Vietnam can dominate the south of Lingnan, radiate the southern line of our Great Qin, and chaos in the southwest at any time."

"Is that so?" Hearing Yingcheng's explanation, Wang Ben also understood, couldn't help frowning, thought about it repeatedly, and said: "If it is really as my father said, chaos in South Vietnam, I will think about it again and again, and I can only think of one possibility." ”

"What is possible?" Yingcheng asked.

"Jian Guo still remembers the Xiang clan in Jiangdong." Wang Ben said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty's southern tour, in fact, the main purpose is the Xiang clan, and the pacification of the Xiang clan Jiangdong will be stable." ”

"But hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and strong generals swooped down, and the Xiang clan and the Jiangdong nobles disappeared and crossed the sea."

"This is just one of them, after all, the nobles can go by shipbuilding, but the Xiang clan still has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Jiangdong, and it is impossible to cross the sea and leave."

"And the military intelligence of all parties shows that the soldiers and horses of the Xiang clan have not shown signs of moving to the fault and Donghui, but they have disappeared mysteriously."

"If there is really a force that can unify South Vietnam, only the Xiang clan and the nobles of the Chu State who have left from Huiji."

"No one knows what is overseas, but if the Xiang clan wants to restore the country, they will definitely come back, and there is only one possibility, the Xiang clan is plotting to South Vietnam."

"Compared to my Qin State, it is much easier for the Xiang clan to plot South Vietnam than us."

"As long as the Xiang clan is under the banner of anti-Qin, they can easily enter Nanling."

Yingcheng groaned, his thoughts were rolling, and his mood couldn't be calmed.

Wang Ben's proposal made him wake up as well.

This, quite possibly.

At this time, crossing the sea, wanting to find a place to survive overseas, leaving from Huiji, the places that can be reached are the Ryukyu Islands and the Taiwan Strait.

If you can't cross the coastal sea for a long distance and sail along the coast, one of the places you can go is Jibei Jiaodong, and the other is the land of Nanyue.

If the Xiang clan had the idea of the three caves of the cunning rabbit all these years, the road from Huiji to Fujian to South Vietnam should have been figured out by the Xiang clan a long time ago.

"Send an order to Tu Sui, Mengwu, and the generals in the south to find out the situation in South Vietnam and find the whereabouts of the Xiang clan, no matter what the price is, you must find out where the soldiers and horses of the Xiang clan have gone!"

Yingcheng said in a deep voice.

Wang Ben, as the Protector of the Taiwei Mansion, has enough power to deal with this matter.

Although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will be Chu.

This is almost a boulder pressing on the bottom of his heart, he didn't think it before, but now that he is being by Wang Jian who is dying, this boulder will not be able to be removed for a while.
