As a general, Zhang Jin should not let the situation develop.
Wu Nian once thought about this Brother Zhang. Are you too complacent and unwilling to make progress?
Or are you indecisive and unable to bear to deal with your own soldiers?
Only one thing. Wu Nian never doubted the friendship between Zhang Jin and himself.
But he didn't expect that Zhang Jin would be sick. And he was asleep for five days? No one reported this.
How did this happen?
With a maid galloping ahead to lead the way, Wu Nian arrived outside Zhang Jin's bedroom. Standing at the door, he smelled a strong smell of medicine and frowned immediately.
When he saw Zhang Jin, he couldn't believe his eyes. Zhang Jin, who had always been strong and burly, actually showed weakness. He lay on the bed in a state of anger, covered with a thick quilt.
"Brother." Wu Nian's eyes were splitting, and he came to sit on the edge of the bed. He wanted to reach out and shake Zhang Jin, but he stopped midway.
He was afraid that his shaking would shake the person away.
This is Zhang Jin. A tough guy. How could a guy who would only laugh even if you punch him would do this?
Wu Nian's eyes turned red quickly, and he held back tears. After taking a deep breath, Wu Nian stood up and looked at Mrs. Zhang.
She was lowering her head and weeping, trying not to cry.
"Sister-in-law. Let's go out and talk." Wu Nian said softly, holding back his sadness.
"Yes." Mrs. Zhang hummed softly, walked out of the bedroom with Wu Nian, and sat down on the bench in the corridor.
"Sister-in-law, please tell me exactly what is going on. How is his illness? Can it be cured?"
Wu Nian turned his head and asked Mrs. Zhang.
Mrs. Zhang raised her sleeves to wipe her tears and choked up: "The symptoms started half a month ago. My husband was often weak and slept more. He didn't take it seriously at the time. Later he became ill. He said that now General, you are busy with things, so don't let us send someone to tell the general."
"The doctor took a look. He said he was injured and bleeding too much, and the root was damaged. He said that if he doesn't wake up within three days, I'm afraid he's going to... to... wuwuwu."
Seeing Mrs. Zhang hiding her face and crying, Wu Nian was also heartbroken.
This is absolutely unexpected.
Never expected that.
A tough man would end up like this. This is the disaster of swords. It is common for brave generals to be injured and bleed, and the general will inevitably die immediately.
Wu Nian was also panicking. This brother couldn't let him die like this. But what can be done?
For a county as big as Yuan County, there must be experts in medical skills. They have seen them all.
correct. You can also send people to Jiang County quickly to find Ruyan and save the situation. But this time, I'm afraid it's too late.
How to do this?
Say one thousand, preach ten thousand.
Although Wu Nian had ambitions for hegemony, he was not a tyrant. He has many weaknesses and values love and justice.
Zhang Jin is an old brother who joined the army with him, and the two of them climbed out of the dead.
But he had to take responsibility and hold back the sadness in his heart. He raised his head and smiled at Mrs. Zhang, and said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry. Although our brothers are engaged in killing people, killing one person is to save ten people. His merits are immeasurable. God will bless him."
"Yeah." Mrs. Zhang hummed, but still cried.
Wu Nian sighed and was about to say something. Hearing a sudden movement, he raised his head and looked forward. I saw Wang Youxiao and three thousand households walking towards him.
"You support Madam and go down first." Wu Nian's face suddenly turned cold, he waved his right hand, raised his head and said to the maid.
"Yes." Several maids responded together and helped Mrs. Zhang down.
"General."
Wang Youxiao and three thousand households came to Wu Nian. Wang Youxiao bowed, while the three thousand households knelt down on one knee.
"You guys are really awesome. I gave Yuan County to you, and this is how you repay me?" Wu Nian's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and his tone was very bad.
"Please punish me, General." The three thousand households were a little frightened. After hearing this, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
"Everyone, go down. Withdraw the troops." Wu Nian did not punish him, but waved his right hand and said.
"Yes." The three thousand households were not happy. Instead, they became more and more depressed. They stood up, turned around and went down.
Wu Nian stood up and looked at Wang Youxiao with his hands behind his back.
Although Wang Youxiao had a clear conscience, he still trembled and lowered his head slightly under Wu Nian's eyes.
"If I ordered you to let Liu Zhongting go, what would you do?" Wu Nian asked expressionlessly.
Wang Youxiao suddenly raised his head, showing a look of disbelief.
How can you do this?
This is a murderous felony.
General, are you also stupid? Or. The general is also afraid, afraid of the army's backlash?
"I will kill Liu Zhongting first." Wang Youxiao clenched his fists, his face turned red, he raised his head and looked at Wu Nian without taking a step back.
"How dare you disobey my orders?" Wu Nian frowned, with a serious expression on his face. The aura of his whole body was fully activated, pressing towards Wang Youxiao.
As the saying goes.
When the emperor was angry, he laid down millions of corpses and bled for thousands of miles.
Of course Wu Nian was not in that position, but he was a general supporting the Han Dynasty. In these three counties, he had the authority of the emperor and had the power of life and death.
His anger was no small matter.
But Wang Youxiao actually managed to hold it back, still clenching his fists, looking at Wu Nian, and said word by word: "Of course I will obey correct orders. Of course I will not obey incorrect orders."
"General. Have you forgotten your original intention? You raised the army to expel the Tartars and regain Liaodong. Liu Zhongting committed suicide without authorization and you did not deal with it. How can you convince the people?"
"Liu Zhongting asked his soldiers to cultivate fields and use them as slaves. The Liaodong generals learned from their mistakes. Sooner or later, the army lost its combat effectiveness."
"General."
Wu Nian smiled, put away his aura, calmed down, waved his hand and said, "Go down."
"General?!!!" Wang Youxiao was stunned for a moment, what was he doing? I was mentally prepared to be dealt with.
It doesn't matter whether he is killed or buried. Just let me finish.
Now tell me, please come down.
What does it mean?
"Go down. I, Wu Nian, am still Wu Nian. Even if one day the world becomes barren and the seas dry up and the rocks rot, my temper will be the same smelly and hard. I only kill the people I want to kill. I only fuck the women I want to fuck. Do what I want to do.”
Wu Nian raised his head with pride, stretched out his right hand and patted Wang Youxiao on the shoulder. He lowered his head with a smile on his face and said, "Go down. I won't let you or everyone down." "
Only then did Wang Youxiao understand. The pressure on his body relaxed, and his blood boiled. This is the general. A general I trust. A general who knows right from wrong.
A general I would die for.
"Yes." Wang Youxiao answered loudly with his head held high, then turned around and walked away briskly.
After watching Wang Youxiao leave, Wu Nian sighed again, with a look of worry on his face. Said: "Brother, you have to come through. We have to expel the Tartars together and regain Liaodong. Let's conquer the world together."
