Jiankang City, Tingwei Mansion, and Dalao.
In a low and damp cell, two people were sitting opposite each other. On the ground between them was a small table with pork head meat and a jar of Yanghe Daqu. Liu Yu was dressed like a soldier, and Liu Yu was sitting opposite.
, Wei Shunzhi, who was also dressed as a soldier, was relatively speechless. Even the sound of rats eating leftovers in the empty cell could be clearly heard.
Wei Shunzhi let out a long sigh: "Thank you so much, Brother Jinu, for coming and sending me on my way in person. You also gave me these clothes, and you wore them too. You and I are still the same as when we joined the army together. It's a pity that I should be executed for my crime."
, and you still have to command thousands of troops and continue to fight.
Liu Yu shook his head gently: "I'm sorry, I can't agree to your last request and pay the price of making meritorious service like this prison full of criminals. Instead, I will punish you in the city's vegetable market and publicly behead you."
Remembering our comradeship for more than twenty years and our friendship together in Jingkou, I will personally come to see you off on your last journey!"
Gritting his teeth: "Brother Jinu, I know Wei Shunzhi's eyes were red and he said, you have no choice but to do it. Isn't my biggest crime this time is to run away from the battlefield? So many officials from aristocratic families also ran away, but none of them were killed.
And because I didn’t take Xie Bao with me when I ran away, I killed him, so I offended the Xie family. If you want to give the Xie family an explanation for my life, then please give me a glass of poisonous wine, or give me a good time now.
, I, Wei Shunzhi, am also a famous general and a good man. I cannot be executed in public and humiliated like this!
Liu Yu frowned slightly: "Shunzi, Shunzi, I thought you should have woken up, but I didn't expect that until now, you still didn't realize why you died. You actually thought I was using
Is your life coming to please the Xie family?
Wei Shunzhi sneered and said, "Isn't it? You didn't bring back the Yan army this time. There are almost no soldiers in this city. If you want to defend the city, you have to rely on the aristocratic families in Jiankang City. At least we need them."
Only by conscripting all the servants and spies into the army can we delay time. I should never have done it, I should not have brought Xie Bao with me. Their surnamed Xie also hated me for killing the only descendant of their Xie family who could lead an army in war.
Where are the younger generations?
Speaking of this, Wei Shunzhi gritted his teeth: "But I really didn't leave Xie Bao alone. I informed him at least three times, and the last time I went to persuade him to leave in person, but this guy said that he had not received the military order and was guarding the country.
He was responsible, and said that Yuzhang City was ordered by Brother Wuji to guard when he left, and he would only recognize Brother Wuji's orders. Ji Nu, you said that this boy is so dull and pedantic, do I want to stay and accompany him to death?
?
Liu Yu said coldly: "Xie Bao is definitely not pedantic. He is not defending the city. He is doing his best to arrange for his subordinates to evacuate the people, transfer military supplies and organize heavy supplies. This is what you should do.
If your two thousand subordinates can do this together with his five hundred people, you can all leave in one day before the demon thief comes.
But you ran away, and you chose not only to abandon Xie Bao, but also all your subordinates, and escaped with only three to four hundred personal guards, and even more than 1,700 state and county soldiers transferred to you.
No notice!
Wei Shunzhi's face turned slightly red: "These people are newly recruited strong men along the way. There are many bandits and bandits who have taken the initiative to seek refuge. I don't know their details very well, and the results prove this. I sent these people
I went to send an order for them to evacuate together, but most of them immediately dispersed. More than 300 sailors and fishermen recruited from Xunyang area directly surrendered to the enemy, leading the monster thieves to surround Xie Bao's retreat.
Xie Bao didn't run away. If I took them with me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to escape either!
Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "You don't personally lead the troops to these camps to mobilize troops to leave. You only rely on one or two messengers to mobilize hundreds of troops. How can you mobilize hundreds of troops when the front is defeated?
It may not cause disintegration and roaring of the camp, but how can it not cause rebellion and surrender to the enemy?
You usually run the army laxly and do not strictly enforce military discipline. At this time, you simply abandoned these troops and walked away. Not only did you kill Xie Bao, but you also killed thousands of officials and soldiers in the city who were unwilling to surrender.
The people of Yuzhang who had no time to evacuate.
Shunzi, Shunzhi, even ten death-free gold medals are not enough to forgive your sin. Why do you actually think that I want to kill you to give an explanation to Xie's family?
Wei Shunzhi lowered his head in shame, tears of regret hanging on his eyelashes: "Send
Brother Nu, stop talking, stop talking, it's all me who is greedy for life and afraid of death. It's me. I've enjoyed enough glory and wealth these years, and I'm drunk in the gentle land. I don't take life and death as lightly as before, and do it if I don't accept it.
I, I have seen so many brothers die on the battlefield before, and they died without enjoying happiness, so, I don’t want to fight anymore, I don’t want to work hard anymore, I just think about glory and wealth.
Liu Yu's teeth chattered: "Why didn't you tell me these things earlier? If you don't want to fight or lead troops, I can remove you from your military post and let you live a happy life as a rich man.
Sir, since you are wearing this military uniform, since you are leading soldiers and guarding one side, you must fulfill this responsibility.
Wei Shunzhi sighed: "Brother Jinu, since I will definitely die today, I might as well open my heart and tell you what's on my mind. We people used to be just poor people with nothing, miserable people, and no place to stand.
In this era when aristocratic families take advantage of everything, what does it rely on to achieve great things? Isn't it just that we can fight and have soldiers in our hands?
The Jingba brothers were able to rise to power only because they had soldiers, especially you, Brother Jinu. If you hadn't raised an army to establish righteousness and eliminated Huan Xuan, would we be where we are today? If you were like Liu Laozhi, after the battle
After the war, they handed over the military power to those people. Didn’t they want our lives, so we had to die?!
Liu Yu's face was as dark as water: "So you think that if you have soldiers, you will be a grass-head king. As long as you have soldiers, you can occupy a state and several counties and separate one side, and no one can do anything to you, right?"
Wei Shunzhi sighed: "I know you don't like to hear this, Brother Jinu, but that's the truth. You can suppress Brother Xile and Brother Wuji because of your contribution, but even more so because of your hand."
Heavy troops, control the Beifu Army, control Yangzhou, if in turn, let Brother Xile control the Beifu Army, then I am afraid that at this time, you will also be here, go to the execution ground with me.
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "Shunzi, you have always been simple-minded. These words are definitely not something you can think of. Who told you this? Who made you believe that if you have soldiers in your hands, you can separate one side and not obey the imperial court?"
Order?
