Chapter 1128 Birds do their best to hide their bows
Li Xiong:...
Wang Li:...
The two looked at each other in confusion, their eyes full of confusion.
Li Xiong had long abandoned the gate and refused to guard the gate, and all the mobs were united in their efforts to fight to the end with Wang Li. Therefore, he was not surprised that the city gate was occupied, but Wang Li was stunned. An old guy on the city tower seemed... slightly... somewhat familiar... mainly because he had been beaten for an hour and was a little dizzy at the moment.
"General~~" Wang San Wang Si and others saw the burly figure on the city tower at a glance, and couldn't help but exclaim at the same time.
At this time, the mobs who followed Li Xiong's rebellion also turned pale, and the ambitions involved began to collapse.
There was a large army in front of Wang Li, and a royal army suddenly appeared behind him. Now everyone was trapped in the middle, and there was almost no chance to escape.
"Li Xiong, we are surrounded and kill Wang Li quickly, otherwise all of my thousands of Zhao Dierlangs will die in vain today!" An old man with white hair and burly hair raised the sharp long sword in his hand and roared.
"Wang Li, come and take your life~" Li Xiong's eyes were so bitter that he knew that today was a dead end, so he shouted and danced his spear to kill Wang Li.
"Okay, let's see if I marry you!" Wang Li also burst out with murderous aura in an instant, waved his sword and rushed out.
"Bang~~"
Above the city tower, a high-armed guard next to Wang Ben let go of the iron-feathered long bow in his hand. A pitch-black white feathered arrow burst into the air with a whimpering sound, and a trembling sound penetrated into the muddy and snow in the center of Li Xiong and Wang Li. The arrow was half a foot deep into the soil, and the arrow shaft and tail feather as thick as a thumb were still swaying in the cold wind.
"Stop~ If anyone dares to act rashly, I will definitely kill you!" The general standing on the city tower spoke, "I am going to go to the Wuhou Wang Ben, and I am ordered by the emperor to investigate the case of soldiers destroying Jingbian Temple in Yanmen Pass..."
"Wang Ben?!"
Under the city tower, both the bandits and the Qin army couldn't help but exclaim loudly. Li Xiong's body shook and turned his head to stare at the city tower. His hands holding the gun were trembling nervously. After Wang Li was stunned for a few seconds, he suddenly burst into laughter and laughed happily: "Hahahaha, Li Xiong, my father is here, I have already taken Yanmen Pass, and I will not abandon the gun and give him the head to the head?"
"Wang San Wang Si, what are you waiting for? Why don't you take this evil son down with me!" Wang Ben pointed to Wang Li's pride in his fingers, and his angry voice echoed in front of the quiet Yanmen Pass.
"Ah!?" Wang San Wang Si and a group of guards were stunned and thought they had heard it wrong.
"I took down Wang Li with me and dared to resist and kill him, what are you waiting for?" Wang Ben roared again.
"Ga?!" Wang Li, who was smiling happily holding the big sword, was like a big goose that was pinched to his throat. He looked up at the city tower with a dull face.
"The Major General has offended!" Wang San and Wang Si finally came to his senses from the sluggishness, stepped forward and took off the sword from Wang Li's hand, and then the two of them dragged Wang Li back to the formation.
"Brother, Mr. Tongwu is here to thoroughly investigate the demolition of his uncle's temple. Don't act rashly, let everyone abandon their weapons!" A young man with disheveled hair appeared and shouted on the city tower.
"Fourth...Fourth brother, can you take this seriously?" Li Xiong was stunned for a while and shouted.
"I am Wang Ben, I am ordered to thoroughly investigate the matters in Yanmen Pass. No matter what grievances and anger you have, please throw away the weapons and don't resist. Wait until I review them clearly, and I will naturally give you a satisfactory reply..."
Wang Ben looked at the corpses and scarlet muddy and snow after the two armies fighting in front of the pass, and the blue veins on his neck surged. He couldn't help but hold on to the stone bricks on the city wall with his hands tightly. He felt anger in his chest that could not be suppressed and was about to break through his body and explode.
Among all, it can be said that he knew about Yanmen Pass the latest, and it was too late to know. This incident was exposed by the Hou Qinghe in the court.
Originally, he and Wang Jian were very worried about the emperor's desire to be a marquis of Wang Li. Wang Ben also personally entered the palace to persuade the emperor, but the emperor still insisted on doing things. Not only did he grant Wang Li a marquis, but later he also entrusted important tasks to replace Meng Tian to control the northwest army. This was not only the honor of the Wang family, but also the crisis of the Wang family. While three Wuhous were among the top nobles, it also made the Wang family and his son unable to be safe as if they were sitting on the crater.
Wang Jian knew very well that Chen Xu's rise was unstoppable and would inevitably become another top noble who surpassed Wang's family in the future. However, there will inevitably be some irreconcilable conflicts between the new and old nobles. Therefore, Wang Jian constantly restricted his sons and grandchildren from having any conflicts with Chen Xu, and even spared no effort to support him in Cuju Square, trying to show goodwill during Chen Xu's rise and establish a good relationship with each other.
It was not that Wang Jian was afraid of Chen Xu, but that Wang Jian was worried that his children and grandchildren would be proud of their contributions and offend Chen Xu.
Because Chen Xu's origin was so mysterious that the emperor could not resist or look directly at him, Wang naturally did not dare or was unwilling to provoke him.
Although Wang Ben is a military general, he is definitely brave and resourceful. Although he is not as good as his father, he also knows what his father has been worried about. Therefore, he always acts very low-key. He usually hides in his hometown to practice martial arts and hunt, and develops his character in a new way. Although he lives a dull life, he is also free and easy. Only after his son was transferred by the emperor to the Northwest as a general, Wang Jian and Wang Ben and his son have been worried.
But when they worry about it, the thing they worry most is still happening.
Wang Li was proud of his merits and ignored military laws. He led his troops to commit crimes, causing hundreds of civilians to be killed and injured near Yanmen. Now, tens of thousands of civilians rose up and rebelled to burn the county government to capture Yanmen Pass. After a melee, what he saw was the bloody and muddy snow. There were no less than two thousand corpses on both sides, densely covered the entire valley. The bloody scenes and bloody breath made him feel his soul throbbing one after another, and his body felt colder and colder, as if he was slowly falling into an ice cave.
Now he is almost fifty years old, and his health is not as good as before. In the past two years of conquering Lingnan, he has hardly had a good rest. He has always wanted to fight this last battle for the emperor to draw a happy ending for his military career. Therefore, he is very hardworking. After finally conquering Lingnan, he just returned to Xianyang for only three days. His father suddenly passed away. This was an unprecedented blow to him. He finally finished his father's funeral in his heart and pain. The funeral period just ended.
Hearing that his son caused a disaster, the Marquis of Qinghe was targeted by the Marquis of Qinghe, Wang Ben was so angry that he had to ask for an order to deal with his son himself, because according to the current situation of the Qin Dynasty, the emperor was unwilling to punish him. If he did not take action, he could only take action. When the Marquis of Qinghe took action, there was no room for any turnaround. Even Wang's family would never be able to resist, because between the Marquis of Qinghe and Wang, as long as the emperor was not stupid and old enough to be unreasonable, he would definitely give up Wang.
Because the King of Qin will definitely not only fight with him, but also many generals who are proficient in military tactics. Without the Emperor of Wang, he will not eat pigs with hair. There are too many people who kill pigs for him. Moreover, now that the King of Qin surrenders, the Wang family is actually useless to the emperor except for countless glory.
Wang Ben even guessed that the emperor wanted him to conquer Baiyue, which was to let him retire completely and enjoy his old age from then on. He also gave Wang Li a honorable marquis and a position of a general to enjoy his happiness in the northwest, because after the Xiongnu Donghu surrendered, there would be no decent foreign invasions in the east and north directions of the Qin Dynasty for at least decades or even hundreds of years.
The birds are gone, the bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys are cooked. The monarch and ministers have never been harmonious since ancient times to the point of no suspicion. Thinking about Li Mulianpo, the generals who are loyal to Zhao, all ended up with a miserable ending because of suspicion. Although the First Emperor has always regarded the father and son of the Wang family as the humerus, the Qin Dynasty now does not need the Wang family, a prominent family. When the prosperity comes, swords and weapons enter Kuma and release them to the Nanshan Mountain. Being able to die at home like his father Wang Jian is already the most perfect ending for all military generals. If the rest of the desire is to dig a grave, it is not impossible for the Wang family to fall into a miserable consequence.
Therefore, after Wang Ben suddenly got the trouble caused by his son at Yanmen Pass, he was furious and asked to go straight to Yanmen Pass, traveling two thousand miles in the wind and snow. He was angry, tired and anxious. When he passed the Black Dragon's mouth, he was suddenly intimidated by the black dragon shadow that suddenly appeared. Wang Ben almost collapsed at that time, and then he marched for nearly 300 miles overnight. He stayed asleep so hard that Wang Ben had already been unable to hold on.
At this moment, seeing the chaos in front of you and the arrogant appearance of his son, Wang Ben's heart was filled with blood. Before he could finish his sentence, he spewed out a mouthful of blood, and fell down as if the blackness in front of him.
"General~" The guards surrounding him rushed forward to support him.
At this time, Wang Ben was dizzy and his ears were roaring like a river rushing, and his eyes were filled with blood and red. With the stimulation of blood under the city gate, everything in front of him turned into scarlet, as if there was blood in the sky and rushing towards him like a river.
After holding the city wall and gasping for a long time, Wang Ben stood up again: "It's okay, Captain Xiao guards the city gate, and the rest follow me!"
Under the city gate, thousands of scarred mobs all threw away their swords, guns, bows and arrows and knelt on the ground and did not dare to look up. Wang Ben is not a playboy like Wang Li, but he is the real existence of the Qin Dynasty now. No one dares to look directly at him except the emperor at the beginning. Therefore, even if everyone wants to tear Wang Li apart, they have to bow their heads when facing Wang Ben.
"Meet the General~" Thousands of similarly scarred pawns were all dismounted and knelt on one knee on the ground.
Looking at Wang Ben who was strode, Li Xiong, who had been brave and heroic before, was also timid. He threw the iron spear on the ground with a clang and held his fists, dodging Wang Ben's eyes and said: "Li Xiong, a grass man, paid homage to Mr. Tongwu. I wonder if Mr. Tongwu can really make a clear mark for my uncle and many people who have been wronged for no reason!"
"Don't worry, since this marquis is here, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. Kings three and kings four, drag this evil son over to me!" Wang Ben yelled while walking past Li Xiong with great strides.
"Dad, don't listen to these bandits talking nonsense. They took action first outside Yanmen that day..." Wang Li was still shouting loudly on the way to be taken by several big and thick guards.
"Ba~~" Wang Ben stepped forward and slapped Wang Li hard on the face. In an instant, he saw five red finger marks appear, and then pressed the scabbard spring with a click, pulling out half of the sharp sword.
"Sad son, I will cut off your dog's head today and go back to apologize to the emperor!" Wang Ben roared.
"God General calms down~~" A group of guards rushed over to General Wang Ben hugged him tightly.
"General, no, the major general, even if he is wrong, he cannot be killed. He should be brought back to the capital for interrogation!" Wang Wu and Wang Qi and other guards were also frightened and were stunned. They knelt on the ground and kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"Please calm down your anger!" Thousands of horsemen were frightened by Wang Ben's actions, and they all knelt on the ground and pleaded for Wang Li.
"Dad, I...what did I do wrong? These mobs burned Guangwu County Government, robbed Yanmen Pass, and killed hundreds of guards. These are all death sentences. Why are you... beat me?" Wang Li was still unwilling to accept it.
"You are so evil, you dare to argue. You can destroy Jingbian Temple, kill dozens of people, and then hunt down Chen Qing's people and many local celebrities. If it weren't for the Qinghe Marquis' report in the court, I'm still keeping you under the guise... You dare to argue if you cause such a big disaster, but you dare to argue, but ~~~" Wang Jian said this and opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood again.
"Dad~~" Wang Li was so scared that his face was pale and he stood up to help him.
"Bang~" Wang Ben kicked Wang Li to the ground with a fierce kick, pointed at Wang Li angrily, roaring, "You said, what do you deserve to be the title of Marquis of Wu, what do you deserve to be the general? Your Majesty handed over 60,000 Northern Army to you. Is it just that you let your troops carry out disasters and disrupt the Qin Dynasty? You did not obey the military orders, causing hundreds of civilians to die and injured. What are your faces to meet the emperor? What are your faces to face His Majesty's trust? You said...Puff~~" Wang Ben and Wang Ben sprayed out a mouthful of blood again during the roar.
"Dad, I was wrong, don't be angry..."
Wang Li had never seen his father get so angry that he kneeled on the ground and dared not look up.
I haven't seen him for more than a month since he returned from Xianyang. At this time, my father's body was covered with soaked ice and snow mud, his hair and beard were scattered and entangled, his face was blue and white, and the blood on his clothes and the corners of his mouth made him feel confused. Thinking of the current situation of heavy snow in the cold winter, he suddenly thought that my father must have come from Xianyang to face the wind and snow without raising his hooves.
"Come here, tie this evil son up with me, and take down Guangwu County Magistrate Fu Rui, Yanmen Pass Guard Lu Rong, Yanmen Pass Commander Zhao Bao, Northern Army Guardian Commander Cai Xing, and take down all the generals and soldiers involved in the destruction of Jingbian Temple!"
"Here~~"
