Chapter 214 Killing to become benevolent?
"I won't be a minister." Although Ruan Wenhui looks like an old man at this moment, his face is full of pride. I also know that Ding Kesheng is unwilling to be a submissary. Instead of letting him die humiliatingly, it is better to let him die on the battlefield and die in the right place.
"Your Majesty, you can't do this. Please withdraw your order. I am willing to fight to the death for your majesty!" Chen Tianbao looked at Ruan Wenhui, couldn't help but shed tears and shouted in a low voice.
Ruan Wenhui looked at Chen Tianbao and shook his head lightly: "If God gives me another five years, no, three years, even if it is a year, I will not do this. I will let those Qing thieves under Lang Mall know my power, and I will also let Ruan Fuying understand who is the emperor of Annan... Unfortunately. Your prestige is still not enough to convince the public. The prince is too young now. If I die, there will be a tiger and wolf division of the Qing Dynasty, and then there will be a Nan Ruan villain. I'm afraid that my foundation will be destroyed. I can't even keep my bloodline, so I have this strategy..."
"This is my edict. I order you to return the capital immediately. With this edict, I will lead the three thousand Jiashi to stay in the capital, and go south immediately with the prime minister Ruan Guang and the prince. If you can't do anything, you can ask Guang Zan to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. If the Qing Dynasty does not allow it, you can escort Guang Zan from the sea to leave Annan. You are my Xishan Chaoshui master. Governor, it's not difficult to do this. I'm worried about others, but you, I can trust you..." Ruan Wenhui's voice gradually lowered, and his eyes were still amazingly bright. Outside the lobby, only his voice echoed.
Annan, Li Changbao, the governor of Pingding Mansion, quickly climbed the tower with a worried face. The tower was already full of soldiers. They were nervously holding weapons and looked at the city. The staggering team that turned out from the foot of the mountain was slowly walking towards the bottom of Guihua City.
"What the hell? A few days ago, those who fled to us were all refugees. In the past two days, even the soldiers came to us?" Next to him, a soldier was whispering.
You can know that these soldiers who are coming to the city are all Ruan Wenyue's soldiers. However, Li Changbao is a little confused. Didn't these guys surrender the Qing general together with the lord of Jiangcheng? Why did you come to your own door now?
--------------------
I'm afraid there must be at least two or three thousand people, and there seems to be a lot of injuries in it, some of which have been carried here. If you come to attack the city, you shouldn't be a little weak. You don't even have a flag, and even many people don't even have weapons in their hands. If they don't come to attack the city, what are they doing here? Are they visiting the market here?
"Your Excellency, shall we shoot his mother first?" A general came closer and suggested.
Li Changbao stared at him: "Why are you panicking? Do you think they can climb up to Guihua City empty-handed? Let's take a look at the situation first. Let the children pay close attention to it. However, you must not use swords without my orders.
"Yes." The general retreated to the side. At this time, some of the Ruan Wenyue soldiers who had come to the place of the arrow under the city came out of the crowd and shouted to the head of the city, "General Li Changbao?! I'm asking for the surname of General Li De in the hand of Ruan Zhihui, the general of Jiangcheng, to see General Li.
"I will be here, surnamed Li De, why did you come to me? Isn't it that your general wants to treat me to tea? Li Changbao stood on the gate of the city and shouted loudly. As soon as he said this, he immediately made the corporal laugh.
Before the laughter fell, the surname Li De under the city had already knelt on the ground and cried: "Please take the sake of General Li, who is also a citizen of Annan, and for the sake of the former Xishan military staff, please help me..."
Lala, almost all the soldiers outside the city knelt on the ground and cried, which made Li Changbao's eyes straight and fog. Li De, what the fuck are you plotting? Say it!" Li Changbao really hasn't seen thousands of men crying together. For a moment, he was really at a loss.
After Li Changbao's question, Li De wiped the snot on his face and told their tragic experience with tears. Ruan Zhizhi received an edict from Li Weiqi from Lord Chen, an important minister in the court. After the threat of the army to come to the city, Ruan Zhihui, a soft-boned guy, was timid and ordered the whole army to surrender despite the opposition of the generals of the army.
Ruan Derong, the deputy general who was unwilling to surrender, was killed on the spot by Ruan Zhihui's soldiers, which shocked the whole army. Everyone had to reluctantly surrender with Ruan Zhihui, but they were not willing, but Ruan Zhihui had a large number of soldiers, and nearly half of the generals in the army were his confidants. So they had to bear it for the time being.
Just two days ago, he received an order from the general of the Qing Dynasty again, saying that the Qing army was ready to go north and asked him to prepare food and fodder. Ruan Zhihui was actually crazy. In order to please the new master, he was actually asking Jiangcheng to collect heavy taxes as the military capital of those Qing army.
So, after attracting too much dissatisfaction, the conflict finally broke out. Li De and others took advantage of the situation to fight back, and finally took advantage of the chaos to kill out of the city gate and fled to the naturalization. Moreover, Ruan Zhihui could only look at them escape because he suppressed the riots in the city.
"No wonder the people fled to our side. At the beginning, they thought they were talking nonsense. Now it seems that Ruan Zhizhi is indeed for the new master and has reached the point of madness." A general around Li Changbao agreed with him. He was the guard of the south gate of the Guihua City. These days ran to the side of Guihua City one after another, more than hundreds, or less than three or five. After insiding, he faintly heard about the things over there and reported it to Li Changbao, but he didn't expect that it would be so serious.
"...Your Excellency, Ruan Zhihui's dog thing has lowered the dog. We are from Annan, and this is our hometown. How can we allow those Qing dogs to occupy us? We swear to death and don't want to be the dogs of the Qing Dynasty. Please save us. Li De's voice was full of tears, and his voice was hoarse and dry because of the long shouting. The generals and soldiers in the city couldn't help but feel pity.
"You and I are enemies. You come to surrender. Who knows if it's a fraudulent surrender?" However, Li Changbao must be a capable general who can be arranged by Ruan Wenhui to calm Guihua City, an important town in the south, and will never ruin a big deal because of compassion.
"Your Excellency, how can we fraudulently surrender if our ordnance is incomplete? If you don't believe it, we are willing to leave the blade outside the city and bind ourselves to the city. Li De grabbed the ground with his head: "Your Excellency, the army of Qing dogs, not long after we left Qiujiang City, has arrived. Please pity me and wait."
"General, the last general doesn't think they are fraudulent." A general whispered to Li Changbao in a little unbearable.
"I will have my own opinion." Li Changbao stared at the general, but he was thinking about this possible surname in his heart. Although he was also a little moved, he was still a little worried. After all, fraud depends on action, not words.
--------------------
"This surname Li De is indeed a subordinate of Ruan Zhizhi. In the past, when our two families attacked each other, we bumped into each other in the battlefield." One of the generals said.
Li Changbao thought about it, but he still felt it was not safe. The surname is Li De. Although I have the intention to take you in, how can you make me believe that you are not a fraudulent surrender?!"
Li De couldn't help but be stunned, and those kneeling soldiers gradually stopped crying and stared at each other. They really didn't know how to prove it.
At this time, Li De stood up, shook his mouth and gritted his teeth fiercely. With a choking, he pulled out the snowy sword around his waist. General Li, if the last general will prove it to you, are you willing to take in these Annan people who are unwilling to surrender to Qinggou?!"
The behavior of Li De made the generals and soldiers in the city stunned. Some nervous soldiers even opened the crossbows in their hands quickly, as if they were afraid that this guy would wave the army to attack the city.
Li Changbao was a little stunned, but he still subconsciously replied, "As long as you can make Ben believe you, I will definitely take you in."
"Li Changbao, if you dare to break the oath, my surname Li De will turn into a fierce ghost, and I will never let you go!!!" Li De roared wildly, and the long sword turned upside down and stabbed his chest fiercely. In an instant, a blood arrow burst out of his chest, three feet in front of him, stained with bright red blood.
For a moment, there was a dead silence under the city. Soon, the people surnamed Li De shouted wildly to the general and rushed forward to cry.
And the corners of Li De's mouth were overflowing with blood. He stared and pointed his fingers at Li Changbao in the city. In the end, he still fell to the ground softly and was silent... Li Changbao and everyone in the city couldn't help staying on the spot. For a long time, Li Changbao said fiercely: "Such a brave man with such a strong surname is sad and crying. I missed General Li's surname..."
The generals were also worried. They never thought that the surname of Li De would be so brave. In order to prove the innocence of himself and others, in order to survive, he actually used the most fierce way to prove it, which made them feel sad and deeply admired.
"The dog said, why are you still standing stupidly? Why don't you open the gate!" After Li Changbao regretted, he shouted and scolded loudly. The soldiers quickly put down the suspension bridge and opened the gate.
Those soldiers who followed Li De's surname to the city then carried the body of their General Li, gathered around him, with slow and heavy steps, and walked towards the gate with a dignified and sad look. However, there were many expressions of grief and indignant. The hands behind him were hiding it. The wooden handle grenade in the clothes was quietly pulled out...
