Reincarnation of the powerful minister

Regarding this battle on the banks of the Daqing River, there is a record in "Mingshi Wuzong Benji": "In the spring of the second year, the white-armed bandits invaded Gyeonggi. Fortunately, Bazhou, personally deployed, and used the navy to lure the enemy to seize the boat. Digging the weirs and flooding them, fighting the bandits to the death, there is no way to defeat the enemy. Pursue and wipe out the bandit leaders in Gushan, and the bandit's misfortune will be averted."

This battle was fought from Sishi to Youshi. During this period, the Wang brothers tried to break out of the siege several times, but they were all blocked by the frontier cavalry led by Zhu Helin. So they wanted to take advantage of the water level to retreat across the river, but found that a large number of people were ambushed on the south bank. , is a part of Qi Jingtang.

By nightfall, the nearly [-] "rebels" had fallen to pieces, with some dying and some surrendering.Wang Wu and Wang Chen did not want to be captured and resisted desperately.Wang Chen even shot off the coach's red tasseled helmet with an arrow, nearly injuring Sheng Gong.This made Zhu Helin really angry, and personally held the improved electric gun of Tiangongyuan, and shot Wang Chen's right shoulder a hundred steps away, knocking him off the horse.

Seeing that his younger brother was injured, Wang Wu wanted to come back to help.However, Wang Chen tore off the spike necklace around his neck, threw it to him from a distance, and shouted loudly: "Let's go! We brothers can't both break here. When you get out of trouble, come back and avenge me!"

What the younger brother said was right, Wang Wu gritted his teeth, and tied the necklace he caught around his neck, hanging it with his own, and evacuated tearfully under the guard of his cronies.

"Where to escape!" Zhu Helin shouted, "Soldiers, seize the bandit leader Wang Wu, life or death!"

Seeing the red horse galloping and leading his troops to chase after Wang Wu's remnant soldiers, Su Yan felt a little uneasy: Is it better for the remaining brave to chase the poor, or should the poor not chase after them?The military counselor reported: "Wang Wu is fleeing in the direction of a bare lonely mountain, which cannot be used as an ambush. The emperor takes advantage of the victory to pursue, please rest assured."

Su Yan knew that his riding skills were not bad, and he used the firecracker and the small scorpion crossbow very well, but after all, he was not a character on horseback, and he might be hindered if he followed, so he stayed and waited for Zhu Helin to return after a big victory, while monitoring The battlefield is over.

After Wang Chen fell off his horse, the soldiers of the White Arm Army who wanted to rescue him were all shot back by random arrows, and a group of Ming cavalry surrounded him.Wang Chen dragged his seriously injured body to hold on desperately, after shooting all the arrows, he drew out his saber and continued to kill.

Even the leader of the Ming army couldn't help feeling: "The king of thieves, Liushi, is brave and fearless of death!"

In the end, Wang Chen collapsed from exhaustion, and the blood from the wound was also drained. He still glared at the sky and refused to admit defeat, shouting: "I died in the sky, not in Ming!"

Su Yan heard this cry of resentment and indignation, sighed, and said to the left and right guards: "Take me over there to have a look."

Jin Yiwei guarded Su Yan as he approached, and stopped when he was two feet away from Wang Chen, signaling him not to approach any further, just in case.Su Yan shook his head slightly, stepped closer again, and finally stopped beside Wang Chen.

Wang Chen was lying on the muddy ground, a face appeared in his blurred vision.He took a deep breath, raised his hand to wipe away the blood on his eyelids, saw the face more clearly, and said through gritted teeth: "It really is you! You kid... You are so ruthless, so ruthless! Losing to you, I can not be reconciled……"

Su Yan took the blame for Zhu Helin, but he couldn't completely disregard the responsibility. After all, he also participated in the formulation of the battle plan this time. It was indeed his idea to build temporary barrages and dams to create a water level drop, and then explode the mines to form an artificial flood peak. trick.

"You didn't lose to me, nor did you die from heaven." Su Yan looked down at Wang Chen, and said softly, "You lost to the support of the people, and died from inflated ambitions and desires."

Wang Chen recalled his previous warning of "don't pull flags and slogans", gritted his teeth and said, "Don't mention 'I warned you' and so on. God destined us brothers to go on this road, winners and losers, it's nothing Easy to say!"

Su Yan shook his head: "'Defeated bandit' is certain, but 'successful king' is not necessarily true. Do you know there is someone behind Mr. He?"

Wang Chen was startled, and asked, "Who?"

"A chess player who uses the country as the chessboard and various internal and external forces as the chess pieces, I call it a 'player'."

"The player..."

"To him, you brothers are just pawns. Even if you are allowed to capture the capital, will you be able to enter the imperial court? I am afraid that Mr. He and the others are also persuading you to say that the name is not right and the words are not right, first support the puppet emperor to ascend the throne , I will do the act of abdication in the future, right?"

This kid was obviously not there, but it seemed as if he had seen and heard it with his own eyes.Wang Chen's heart surged, and he blurted out, "Who is the chess player?"

Su Yan shook his head again, moved half a step closer, and squatted down beside Wang Chen.

The Jin Yiwei around gasped, and subconsciously stepped forward to pull Su Yan away, lest the dying thief would rise up violently, and give this young and frail old man a punch, even if it was just the wind, it would be enough for him to drink a pot.

Su Yan reached out to stop Jin Yiwei from approaching, and even waved his fingers to signal them to take a few steps back.Surrounded by a large circle of people, he panicked.

"It's good to get acquainted, Wang Chen, you may wish to tell me what last wish you have. If it does not violate the laws of heaven and the country, within my ability, I can fulfill it for you."

Wang Chen stared at Su Yan, thinking that he had seen him from bottom to top before, in the village of Yingzui Mountain in Shaanxi.He was kidnapped by their brothers, wearing a tattered robe and stepping on the dirty floor with bare feet, but he was still so calm, with a radiant brilliance in his eyes.

He said a lot at that time, and he and his brother also said a lot. Now I can't remember the specific words, but the excitement and sincerity at the moment of high-fiving were not fake.

Thinking of that scene now, I can only clearly remember—his feet are so white, as white as milk, without a single callus.He and their brothers have never been the same.

——Maybe there was an opportunity to follow all the way, but it is futile to say anything now, and it is also at a loss.

"I'm very itchy..." Wang Chen murmured, "It happens from time to time, especially in the dead of night... it hurts and itches."

Wouldn't it be your last wish to let me cure athlete's foot?Su Yan asked helplessly, "Where is it itching?"

Wang Chen struggled to move his arm, pointing to his right rib: "Here... there is an arrow stuck in the seam of the rib and I can't pull it out. Later, the skin and flesh grew back, and the iron piece was sealed inside... The iron piece made me hurt again. It's itchy again, I know I should take it out, but... Maybe I just use its itch to suppress another kind of itching, and use its pain to suppress another kind of pain.

"Now, there is no need to suppress it. Please, help me take out this arrow."

Wang Chen pulled out a wrist-removing sharp knife from the back of his waist.

There was another commotion around, Jin Yiwei, who was on a heavy duty, wanted to rush over to deal with him.Su Yan yelled: "Don't do anything! Back off, I'll take care of it myself!" The Jinyi guards put their hands on the handle of the knife, frowning and continued to wait and see.

Wang Chen stuffed the handle of the knife into Su Yan's hand: "Come on, do it, don't be afraid of seeing blood."

Su Yan held the handle of the knife, trying to persuade him to change his mind: "If you really want to dig out the arrowhead, I have a military doctor here, who can strike quickly and accurately, and there is also mandala soup for pain relief."

Wang Chen let out a wry smile: "A person who is about to die, what pain is there to relieve? Don't worry, I won't make a sound. I just want you to do it yourself, to dig out that piece of iron in my body, and that ball of stupid thoughts!"

Su Yan's heart was trembling a little, but his hands were still steady.He took a deep breath, and cut open the clothes on the opponent's right rib with the blade, revealing an old wound with uneven scars.

The tip of the knife touched the polyp, Su Yan hesitated.

As soon as Wang Chen grasped the back of his hand, he inserted the tip of the knife into the flesh, and then slowly cut open, blood gushing out immediately. "Here, between the two ribs...do you see it?"

The pungent bloody smell made Su Yan dizzy, he bit his tongue to keep himself calm and awake.

Wang Chen manipulated his hand, and forcefully pried the blade between his ribs. In an instant, cold sweat broke out all over his head, but he didn't utter a sound of pain.

The tip of the knife stirred between the flesh and blood for a moment, and suddenly there was a "cough".Su Yan turned his face halfway, not knowing if his ribs were broken at last, or if he touched the arrow, he just thought in his heart: Damn this thief is really tough... It's a pity, it's a pity.

With a slight "poof", the dug out arrow fell on the muddy ground, stained with blood and meat.Wang Chen let out a long breath, like the wishful thinking that had been tossed and turned for years finally left his body, feeling empty and confused.

Su Yan threw away the knife, and used the cloth torn from the opponent's clothes to plug the bloody hole: "You press, press here to stop the bleeding."

Along with the blood flow, besides delusions, there is also temperature.Wang Chen ignored the gunpowder wound on his shoulder and the bloody hole in his waist, and he no longer looked at Su Yan, but stared blankly at the vast and deep night sky.He slowly closed his eyes and whispered five words:

"If I could do it all over again..."

What will happen if you do it all over again?Maybe it will still go this way, history always has a striking similarity.Maybe...there are infinite possibilities in the future.

why?Su Yan looked up at the night sky. Why did God only give him this precious opportunity to "do it all over again"?

The silent question in my heart did not get any answer from God.Perhaps the only person who can answer this question is himself.If you still can't hand in this answer sheet now, then use the time you earn for the rest of your life to think carefully and answer carefully.

Su Yan stood up, with his blood-stained hands hanging down, and said in a deep voice: "Wang Chen is dead. You can collect him and bury him on the spot, don't damage the body."

A Jin Yiwei couldn't help reminding: "Wang Chen is the leader of the rebellion. He has committed a heinous crime. It is not an exaggeration to tear his body into ten thousand pieces. Lord Su, do you want to wait for the emperor to come back before making a decision?"

Su Yan said lightly: "I've done it for the master. If the emperor later blames me, I'll take the blame. Let's do it."

Only then did the Jinyi guards carry Wang Chen's body, nailed a simple coffin with the planks of the ship's hull washed up on the shore, dug a hole on the soil slope and buried it without erecting a tombstone.

A soldier cleverly scooped up water from the river and washed Su Yan's hands.

"Huang...General Mu is back! A complete victory!" Someone shouted.

Su Yan turned his head and saw Zhu Helin galloping towards him in the dim light of the torch, and excitedly waved his fist at him.

"Wang Wu, the leader of the bandit, fled to the lonely mountain, trying to resist in a corner, but was shot to death by random arrows, and the whole army was wiped out..."

The voice of the words gradually became blurred in Su Yan's ears. He looked at Zhu Helin's energetic young face, as if he was facing the rising red sun on the vast river and mountains——

"Qinghe! We won!" His king flew off his horse and hugged him with a smile.

Su Yan also smiled: "Yes, we won."

In the city of Bazhou, Gao Shuo and dozens of Jin Yiwei who were deliberately captured broke free from the dungeon, killed scattered rebels all the way, and rode their horses straight to Meiyuan.

"Miss Ruan, Miss Ruan!" He called anxiously, pushing open the doors one after another.

Finally, after a certain door in the small building was pushed open, Gao Shuo saw Ruan Hongjiao lying on the floor.He was terrified, and quickly stepped forward to help her up, and tested her breath with trembling fingers.

Ruan Hongjiao opened her eyes and let out a tired breath: "I'm sorry, Mr. Gao, I was tired and hungry, so I accidentally fell asleep..."

I fainted.Gao Shuo wanted to hug her tightly, but he didn't dare to blaspheme, and finally said: "Let's go, I'll take you back to the capital."

With his support, Ruan Hongjiao stood up, suddenly her feet sprained, and she fell on him coquettishly, and said softly: "I'm weak and weak, and I can't walk. I have to be escorted by Lao Gao personally. Great kindness Virtue, there must be a reward..."

She lingered the word "repay" between her lips and teeth, but Gao Shuo replied seriously: "I am neither showing favor to the girl, nor do I need to repay. I really admire Miss Ruan, who is strong and strong. A woman does not give way to a man."

Ruan Hongjiao was stunned. She used to hear the comment of "soft as boneless" before, what does "hard-boned" mean...

"Gao Shuo." She called out abruptly.

"Yes!" Gao Shuo subconsciously replied, suddenly realized that this was not a roll call, and was a little embarrassed, "What do you want Miss Ruan to do?"

"Are you not very popular with women?" Ruan Hongjiao asked.

Gao Shuo was even more embarrassed.

Ruan Hongjiao smiled sweetly: "It doesn't matter. As long as the slave family likes it... Alas, Mr. Gao, why did you pinch the slave family's waist? You have to be responsible to the end now."
