Chapter 47: The Death of Zhang Xianzhong
As soon as Wu Sanxing came, Li Dingguo was very relieved, and without saying a word, he withdrew under the cover of the rain of arrows.
However, as soon as Li Dingguo's side withdrew, the Qing army brigade on the opposite side arrived, and under the order of Aobai, the Qing army was divided into three roads, which were led by Aobai, Gebuku, and Zhunta and rushed over, and the morning fog dissipated at this time.
The territory of Xichong is already the plain of central Sichuan, although there are many hills, but there are no mountains to cover, and the three people spread out for miles and pushed over. Li Dingguo saw that the people on his side were weak, and if he engaged, he might not be an opponent, so he had to return to the camp first, rely on the camp to defend it, and then it would not be too late to make a calculation.
For a while, the sound of shouting and killing was earth-shattering.
At this moment, on the Phoenix Slope, Zhang Xianzhong's injury did not improve.
To tell the truth, the arrow just now was shot by the Qing army, don't say that Zhang Xianzhong himself doesn't know, even the Qing army doesn't know. But this arrow seemed to hit Zhang Xianzhong's main artery, and the blood flowed endlessly. Even if the military doctor stitched it up, and then poured the whole bottle of gold on the wound, it was also washed away by blood.
And so on several times.
Zhang Xianzhong is like a broken balloon, but what flows out is blood, not gas.
Zhang Xianzhong never thought that he would die in this way. Although he kept saying that he would have a good death, he never said it, but he didn't want to say it. It hasn't been around for a few days. At this moment, Li Dingguo was also covered in blood, broke in, knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Father-in-law." ”
Zhang Xianzhong's four righteous sons, if they have a pure filial piety heart for Zhang Xianzhong, maybe only Li Dingguo, but if they say that they have no father-son affection for Zhang Xianzhong, it is also false. They're all old fighters. As soon as he saw Zhang Xianzhong's injury, he knew that he couldn't be saved.
Even in the afterlife, this kind of hemorrhage, with only a little delay, will not be saved, let alone in this era.
Zhang Xianzhong said weakly: "I'm not dead yet. "The sound is as thin as a gossamer. He also knew that he was dying, so he gritted his teeth and said, "I will suffer this loss today, and there is nothing to say." I can't let go of the four of you, and the four of you brothers work together, and I feel at ease, but I'm worried about my child, and I haven't given him a big name yet, so I'll call him today: 'Foolish.' It's okay to be stupid in the future. ”
In Zhang Xianzhong's last gaze, all the strength and ferocity faded, and it was just the next piece of fatherly care.
Li Dingguo grabbed Zhang Xianzhong's hand and said, "Father-in-law, don't worry. I still take good care of my younger brother, and with me, who is my elder brother, even if I am broken, I will protect my foolish brother. ”
Zhang Xianzhong glanced at Sun Kewang, and finally looked at Li Dingguo's face, and said, "Good boy." As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to have exhausted his last strength, his eyes closed, and the whole person fell on the stretcher, only the breath came out, and there was no air in.
Li Dingguo gritted his teeth, didn't dare to cry out loud, he could only swallow the tears into his stomach in a muffled voice, but now is not the time for funerals, there is still a war outside.
Sun Kewang was also stunned. He waited for Zhang Xianzhong to say something, but Zhang Xianzhong never said it.
What does Sun Kewang want to hear? It was Zhang Xianzhong who passed the throne to his grandson. Even if his grandson is not expected to be the emperor of the Great West, he must be the commander of the Great Western Army. But Zhang Xianzhong didn't open his mouth even in the end.
Zhang Xianzhong doesn't know what Sun Kewang thinks? Although these four righteous sons were not brought up by Zhang Xianzhong since childhood, they also grew up beside Zhang Xianzhong, and he knows each of them best. Sun Kewang is good at dancing with long sleeves, handling general affairs, and coordinating generals, he can do a good job. It's just that the heart is a little cooler. Li Dingguo is a loyal and upright person, and there are no ghostly tricks in his chest. As for Ainengqi, compared with Liu Wenxiu and the two of them, both ability and qualifications are a little worse.
Zhang Xianzhong knew that as long as he said a word here, with Sun Kewang's means, he would be able to unify the entire Great Western Army.
But is Zhang Xianzhong thinking about the future of the Great Western Army now? No, it's his son.
The situation in the world, Zhang Xianzhong sees it clearly. Now this one is not a script of three parts of the world, but an outline of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. It is difficult and difficult to unify Sichuan, and to go down to Yungui and establish a country on its own. Zhang Xianzhong felt tricky, it wasn't that Zhang Xianzhong couldn't look down on Sun Kewang, he didn't think Sun Kewang could do it.
And Zhang Xianzhong felt that Sun Kewang was a little weak in temperament, but he didn't want to be the weakest one.
He was worried that after Sun Kewang took control of the Great Western Army, it would be detrimental to his son, after all, there were too many ways to want a child to die at this time. But without passing on direct orders, Sun Kewang can still unify the Great Western Army in the end with his own strength and skills, but because he is a little lacking in reputation, it is better to treat this young brother who is not a threat is the best way to make up for it.
Plus the protection of Li Dingguo. I want my child to grow up safely.
As for the matter of further away, Zhang Xianzhong couldn't think of it.
Maybe Zhang Xianzhong thinks a little too much, but as a father's last thought, he can do as much as he can.
Sun Kewang was stunned for a while, and he also guessed that he understood Zhang Xianzhong's thoughts. His face was unmoved, but there was a little annoyance in his heart. But no matter how angry he was, he didn't dare to show the slightest, but said: "Second brother, third brother, fourth brother, now is not the time to cry." The Qing army is storming the camp, and if we don't go out to preside over it again, I'm afraid we won't be able to sustain it. ”
"Second brother, third brother, fourth brother, you each lead the people of your headquarters to resist the Qing army, I am in charge of the Chinese army, command the whole army on behalf of my father, and my father's affairs cannot be leaked in the slightest. You know? ”
Sun Kewang took advantage of this gap to establish his authority.
Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi naturally did not dare to object, Li Dingguo is loyal and upright, but he is not a fool. He naturally understood Sun Kewang's plan. But he didn't think about that position himself, not to mention that Zhang Xianzhong died in front of his eyes, he remembered that when he was six or seven years old, a child was almost eaten raw among the hungry people, and it was Zhang Xianzhong who took him in the army.
Although Li Dingguo did not have a good life, he went into battle to kill the enemy at the age of thirteen, and the children with him did not know how many died in the battle.
Everyone knows that Zhang Xianzhong has four righteous sons, but they don't know that Zhang Xianzhong actually has many righteous sons, but there are four of the most well-known. Where the rest of the people have gone, most of them are dead.
Zhang Xianzhong may not be a good person, but he is worthy of the four of them. Without Zhang Xianzhong, how could the four of them be in charge of the military in the troubled times, above 10,000 people, maybe where to fill the ravine. Are there still fewer people in the world who have died? Especially children.
At this moment, Li Dingguo is bent on revenge. Although he didn't know who shot Zhang Xianzhong to death, he knew that the arrow was from the yellow flag. It was among the Qing troops outside.
Li Dingguo said: "Big brother, I'll go now." Immediately, Li Dingguo buckled his head several times in front of Zhang Xianzhong's corpse, and his head was covered with blood for a while, and he didn't know if it was the blood he had just dyed, or if he broke his head, gritted his teeth and said: "Father-in-law, you wait, the child will avenge you." ”
Then he got up, put on his helmet again, and rushed out of the camp. Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi also kowtowed, then got up and went out.
Sun Kewang took over Zhang Xianzhong's Chinese soldiers and horses on Zhang Xianzhong's orders. wants to incorporate Zhang Xianzhong's Chinese army under his command, once this thing is done, he will be the most powerful one in the Great Western Army. It's just that this matter is not strong, Sun Kewang called Zhang Xianzhong's generals over one by one and met him in front of Zhang Xianzhong's spirit. I want to win hearts and minds.
And at this moment, in front of the Phoenix Slope, the arrival of the three generals suddenly stimulated the momentum of the Great Western Army.
Although the main camp of the Great Western Army is on the Phoenix Slope, the camp of tens of thousands of troops stretches for miles. It's just that Zhang Xianzhong was still a little late when he got the news, and the camp was not very strong. It's even just a fence.
The Qing army also dismounted at this moment, and rushed straight over in a column of steps, wanting to break through the camp of the Great Western Army. However, the Great Western Army, as a veteran powerhouse of the righteous army, still has some capital. The two sides were at loggerheads, and they were killed around a fence and a river of blood flowed.
