Chapter 420: Suicide
Peng glanced at Feng Lingbo on the side again, waved his hand and retreated the others, before saying to Feng Lingbo: "After this battle is over, this person can't stay any longer, find a way to solve it." ”
Feng Lingbo was a little puzzled, and asked respectfully, "What does father mean?"
Peng lifted his chin again towards the wheelchair man.
Feng Lingbo tried to ask, "Meng Shanming?"
Peng bowed his head slightly.
Feng Lingbo's heartstrings tightened and asked, "Why?"
Peng Zai: "There is no void under the fame, you have also seen it, this person is indeed powerful, if he is here, even if he suppresses the Shang Dynasty, it will also contribute to the revival of the Shang Dynasty." So there can only be one between him and Shang Chaozong, who do you choose?"
Feng Lingbo understood what he meant, no matter what, Shang Chaozong was his son-in-law, although what he did was not good for Shang Chaozong, but it was not a last resort, and he didn't want Shang Chaozong's life, if there were conditions, his daughter's side still had to think about it, and cutting off Shang Chaozong's wings was the best choice.
Whether it is internal or external, if you easily don't even let go of your son-in-law, what do people think?
If he was allowed to choose, he would naturally choose the Shang Dynasty.
"Let him disappear quietly, and don't make any noise. Peng squinted again and turned away.
Feng Lingbo bowed slightly, looked back at the person in the wheelchair who was far away, and only sighed in his heart.
He didn't expect that Meng Shanming, a famous general of this generation, would eventually fall under his knife, although he couldn't bear it, but he couldn't be merciful, some of the words of Lord Yuezhang were reasonable, Meng Shanming was definitely an influential figure, and he was the right-hand man of Shang Chaozong......
On the lakeside, Meng Shanming raised his hand to signal, and Luo An pushed his wheelchair and faced the blue lake.
The green mountains in the distance were shrouded in the afterglow of the setting sun, Meng Shanming's distant gaze was deep and calm, and his pale hair and temples were slightly depressed in the setting sun, and he was silent for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.
Shang Chaozong glanced at each other, Shang Shuqing's skirt moved to the wheelchair, and said, "Uncle Meng, you haven't closed your eyes for a long time, go back and rest." ”
Meng Shanming came back to his senses, raised his head and tilted, looked at her, looked at her face, and suddenly said sadly: "I haven't seen the county lord get married, county lord, you are not too young, you should also find a home, presumably this is also what the former king wants to see." ”
Shang Shuqing lowered her body, half-squatted next to the wheelchair, and said with a smile: "Qing'er has long been used to being alone, it's good, Qing'er doesn't want to get married." ”
Meng Shanming stroked her hair lovingly, his eyes showed love, "Silly girl, how can a woman have a reason not to marry, and leave such a big regret to live for a lifetime?" I understand your thoughts, if you can see Dao Ye when you go back, mention it to Dao Ye, and see if he has any way, the birthmark on your face was planted by Mr. Dong Guo, he is a disciple of Mr. Dong Guo, and he is from the Shangqing Sect, maybe he has a way to resolve it for you. ”
Shang Shuqing smiled and said: "Uncle Meng, I really don't need it, this is really good, does Uncle Meng want Qing'er to find a man who judges people by his appearance?"
Meng Shanming's eyes showed love, "Girl, you remember, as long as your heart is right, there is nothing wrong with judging people by their appearance, this is human nature, why is there anything wrong? Besides, how can there be a woman who doesn't love beauty, these years have really hurt you." Our stupid girl is a treasure, who can pick whose blessing it is, but the world has no eyes, I really don't know if Mr. Dongguo planted this ugly birthmark on your face back then, whether it helped you or hurt you. ”
......
Armies came from several ways to besiege the city.
Among the people along the way, a "Wu" flag was the head, and the Wu Tiandang armor surrounded by it was bright.
The defenders of the city trembled.
Wu Tiandang immediately outside the city, showing off his might, the sword out of the sheath, pointed at the head of the city, and shouted loudly: "The guards of the city head listen, immediately open the city and surrender, and those who surrender will not be blamed for the past." If you stubbornly resist to the end, once the city is broken, you will be killed!"
After a while, the head of the city put down the hanging basket and let one person come over to negotiate.
An hour later, the gates of the city were opened, and the guards took off their armor and came out shirtless, carrying thorns and pleading guilty.
Wu Tiandang was surrendered, and the army then entered the city and officially took over the entire city.
The people in the city were extremely frightened at first, but after finding that they were not disturbed, they gradually calmed down.
Similar things have been repeated in various parts of the six counties in Nanzhou......
In the Yanjing Imperial Palace, the lights are bright, and in the majestic hall, a yellow-robed man with white hair is wearing a mantle, barefoot back and forth, and roaring angrily: "800,000 troops, 800,000 troops!
In the hall, the big Sikong Tong Mo, the chief manager Tian Yu, and the CRRC Mansion ordered Ga Miaoshui, bowing their heads one by one and saying nothing, or looking solemn, or sad, or nervous......
In a military camp, the armor soldiers cruised back and forth, and there were constantly golden wings taking off and landing.
In the Chinese military tent, all kinds of intelligence and military orders arrived and issued with the entry and exit of personnel, Zhou Shouxian, who was standing in front of the map, was undressed, his face was haggard, and he was more anxious, he had not closed his eyes for a few days, and his eyes were blue.
He still wants to salvage the situation, after all, there are still hundreds of thousands of his horses in Nanzhou, but the rebels who occupied Nanzhou did not give him a chance, and scattered and consumed his hundreds of thousands of horses and strangled in Nanzhou.
Zhou Shouxian wanted to help, but what did he ask him to help?
The rebels' attack from beginning to end, step by step, pinched his life, and carried out a perfect strategic and tactical offensive, the consequence of which was the situation in front of him, which disintegrated his 800,000-strong army into a plate of scattered sand.
Another piece of information was delivered, and after Zhou Shouxian read it, he was a little shaky.
Xue Xiao, the Dingzhou assassin who was sitting on the side with a stiff face, got up and took the information in his hand to check it.
There is no information, it is a letter sent by Zhou Shouxian's cronies and generals in Nanzhou. More than 5,000 people and horses were trapped in the mountains, birds and beasts were frightened away, originally they could still eat grass and gnaw bark, and they could drink stream water when they were thirsty, but the enemy cut off the stream, diverted the stream, occupied favorable terrain and besieged but did not attack, their own side could not drink water all day, and their morale almost collapsed.
Xue Xiao took a deep breath, he had read more than a dozen similar urgent letters in one day.
has been with him for so long, why Zhou Shouxian failed like this, he has roughly figured it out.
The letter was pressed on the table, and Xue Xiao sighed: "The strategy is formulated ruthlessly and accurately, directly pinching Brother Zhou's weakness, the tactical attack is treacherous, and the rhythm of the battlefield is completely controlled between advance and retreat, and there is nowhere to contain Brother Zhou's 800,000 army." I have to admit that the rebels' attack skills are extremely superb, and it is simply an eye-opening and gorgeous drama. I really didn't expect Feng Lingbo to have such military talent!"
Zhou Shouxian Huo Ran raised his head and said mournfully: "Brother Xue, do you still think that the commander of the rebels is Feng Lingbo?"
Xue Xiao was stunned: "Didn't the imperial court send news that the military power of the Shang Dynasty Sect had been controlled by Feng Lingbo, and Feng Lingbo was the wartime governor of the five counties in Nanzhou and commanded the men and horses of the five counties?"
Zhou Shouxian said sadly and indignantly: "Brother Xue, the imperial court misunderstood me! Feng Lingbo has been entrenched in Guangyi County for many years, and I have dealt with him for many years, who is he and how capable he is, I still don't know?"
Xue Xiao: "Shang Dynasty Sect?"
Zhou Shouxian shook his head and said in great pain: "Commanding 600,000 men and horses to fight, can be so free, do you think that a person who commands such a huge number of men and horses for the first time can do it? Do you think there is anyone over there who can have such experience? Does Feng Lingbo have it? Does Shang Chaozong have it?"
A flash of inspiration flashed in Xue Xiao's mind, and he suddenly gasped and said, "Meng Shanming!"
Zhou Shouxian put his fists on the table and hung his head and sobbed, "If I had known that it was Meng Shanming, how could I have arranged my troops like that, and why did I lose so badly!
Xue Xiao was silent, frowning slightly, quite disapproving, but Zhou Shouxian was already in this state, and there was no point in saying some words again......
Early the next morning, Zhou Shouxian, who was lying on the table of the Chinese army tent and fell into a nightmare, suddenly woke up from the nightmare and was woken up by the noisy movement outside the tent.
got up and moved his numb and stiff body, walked out quickly, opened the tent curtain and looked, and found that there were unfamiliar faces outside the tent, and his three thousand guards were gone, and another group of men and horses were replaced.
"What's the situation?" Zhou Shouxian sighed.
No one answered, and after a while, Xue Xiao led a group of people to come, and Jin Wuguang, the head of the True Spirit Academy, and Cao Yu'er, the head of the Flying Flower Pavilion, were also around him.
The two heads looked at Zhou Shouxian with extremely complicated expressions.
Xue Xiao stood in front of Zhou Shouxian and looked at him silently.
Zhou Shouxian seemed to realize something, and laughed miserably: "Brother Xue, has the imperial court come to the will?"
Xue Xiao's lips tensed slightly, and he said slowly: "Your Majesty has a decree to escort Brother Zhou to the capital, and the matter in Brother Zhou's hands will be handed over to Xue to deal with the aftermath!"
Zhou Shouxian looked at Jin Wuguang and Cao Yu'er, looking at the expressions of the two, he could already guess that this was going to leave him, so he asked: "The two heads, can you take a step to speak!"
The two glanced at each other, then turned their heads to look at Xue Xiao together, and saw that Xue Xiao did not object, so they nodded slightly.
The three of them went back to the tent one after another.
As soon as the curtain closed, Zhou Shouxian bowed to the two, "Zhou is incompetent, and he has affected the True Spirit Courtyard and the Flying Flower Pavilion. ”
Cao Yuer smiled bitterly: "The matter has come to this point, it is irreparable, adults don't have to blame themselves, it's already over, and I hope that adults will understand our hardships, and we can't protect adults anymore." ”
Zhou Shouxian can naturally understand that things have come to this point, and it is impossible for the two factions to oppose the imperial court and take him to escape in order to help him escape from detention, and they can only give up on him.
Zhou Shouxian said again: "If it is possible, if it is convenient, I hope that the two of you will take care of Zhou's family for the sake of the relationship that has been known for many years." ”
Jin Wuguang said: "It's not yet that time, your Excellency has won the trust of Your Majesty, and maybe things will turn around." ”
Zhou Shouxian shook his head and sighed: "I can't live, someone must be guilty of this matter, and after the review, I only have a dead end." Wait a minute, you two!" After saying that, he walked back to the case, wrote an urgent letter, wrote something, and signed it.
After that, he shook the paper and walked back to the two of them, "Trouble the two of you to hand it over to Lord Xue outside to report to the imperial court." ”
The two took the paper, spread it out and looked at it, and after reading it, their faces changed drastically, and Cao Yuer said urgently: "Lord Zhou, it's not like this!"
Zhou Shouxian waved his hand, "After being escorted to the capital for interrogation, the guilt will not escape, I will definitely die, and it is easy to affect the family." Defeated and committed suicide, there is still a loyal name, and the court will not implicate my family, otherwise it will make the court soldiers feel cold. The left and right are dead, the two heads don't need to persuade anymore, take care!"
What can the two of them do, and they also know that the other party's choice is a wise move.
When the two of them walked out of the tent with Zhou Shouxian's self-incrimination book, there was a sound of "bang" behind them and the sword came out of the sheath, and both of them looked back.
Xue Xiao, who was standing outside the tent, also saw Zhou Shouxian's movements inside when the curtain opened, his face changed greatly, and he stretched out his hand and shouted: "Brother Zhou!"
Zhou Shouxian smiled resolutely, the blade of the sword swiped on his neck, and a puddle of blood spurted out of his neck......
