The night is dark and the stars are bright.
A large number of cavalry appeared in front of Wang Zhongbi. The flags with the characters "Feng" and "Wu" fluttered in the wind and made a hunting sound.
In the blink of an eye, this cavalry surrounded Wang Zhongbi's infantry.
"Hahahaha. Old thief. You won't be as lucky as last time this time. Just hand over your head obediently."
Feng Chong reined in his horse and stopped, looked up at Wang Zhongbi's army, held the horse's rein with his left hand, raised his sword with his right hand, and shouted.
"How could he hand over his head to you?" Wu Nian rode his horse to Feng Chong's side, then looked up at Wang Zhongbi's army, his steady and powerful voice resounding throughout the battlefield.
"Wang Zhongbi. I am Wu Nian. If you can help me open the gate of Shanhaiguan, I will spare your life."
Wu Nian's eyes flashed with ambition that could swallow up thousands of miles.
This guy is the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan. He wanted to attack the hinterland of Chu State, and Shanhaiguan was the strongest and most terrifying obstacle.
certainly. He now does not have the strength to further attack Chu. The Meng Yuan people would not let him succeed. But if you can occupy Shanhaiguan.
It is equivalent to holding the key to enter the Chu Kingdom, and you can attack whenever you want.
On the contrary, he did not have Shanhaiguan. The initiative lies in the hands of Chu State.
Wang Zhongbi's face was extremely pale, and his eyes flashed with despair. Feng Chong's cavalry was already difficult to deal with.
No. Now, he was no match for Feng Chong and could not break through the cavalry's pursuit.
What's more, add a Wu Nian.
It’s really one wrong step, one wrong step after another. I thought that succeeding Xiong Wuwo and becoming the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan would be a good job, but I didn't expect that I would send myself to hell.
If I had known it, I had known it.
Wang Zhongbi held the horse's rein in his right hand, his eyes were red and he was gritting his teeth. Fear filled his heart, making him want to get off his horse and kneel down immediately.
But reason told him that this was impossible.
Defeat is excusable. If he offered it to Shanhaiguan, his family members who stayed in Chu State would be killed by the angry civil servants.
"Absolutely impossible." Wang Zhongbi burst out with great courage and answered loudly and decisively.
"Wu Nian. I lost. I will take care of everything by myself. Please don't take action against the soldiers around me."
Immediately afterwards, Wang Zhongbi said again.
"General!!!" Wang Zhongbi's cronies and soldiers all looked moved and shouted one after another.
"When a bird is about to die, its song is mournful. When a man is about to die, his words are also kind. Wang Zhongbi. As an enemy, I respect you a little bit." Wu Nian looked at Wang Zhongbi in surprise and praised. But then, he changed the topic and said, "But we haven't reached that point yet."
"I plan to use you to ask the Chu court for one hundred thousand taels of silver. Do you think the Chu court will agree?"
After Wang Zhongbi heard this, his face suddenly turned red. Humiliation, this is naked humiliation. As a general, he was surrounded by Wu Nian and his life and death were taken from him.
Wu Nian wanted to exchange him for money. This is because I feel that letting him go will not cause harm to myself.
In Wu Nian's heart, he is just a idiot. Far less valuable than one hundred thousand taels of silver.
As a military general, Wang Zhongbi faced the contempt of the Liaodong tiger, his blood boiled and his whole body trembled. He wanted to raise the horse in his hand and stab 10,000 holes in Wu Nian's body.
But in the end, he became decadent and the horse in his hand fell to the ground.
Respect is earned by oneself, not given by enemies.
This time I lost, and there was no excuse for losing. I despised Wu Nian too much and was too confident. They confidently believe that even if they are exploited from top to bottom, nothing big will happen.
Confronting Wu Nian, the fierce tiger of Liaodong, is really not the least bit careless.
I also look down on the selflessness of bears. It’s Xiong Wu who should look down on me.
It's not that Wang Zhongbi doesn't want to live, but it's useless. Wu Nian thought that for one hundred thousand taels of silver, he could be spared.
On the other hand, will the imperial court spend one hundred thousand taels of silver to buy his life?
Buy the head of a defeated, incompetent general?
"I shouldn't have come to Liaodong." Wang Zhongbi shouted to the sky, then pulled out the steel knife from his waist, turned his wrist, and slashed his neck with the blade.
"Pfft" sound. A gap opened in Wang Zhongbi's neck, and a large amount of blood spurted out. Immediately afterwards, his body fell forward and fell to the ground, eyes wide open.
"General!!!" Wang Zhongbi's last act of kindness made his soldiers and confidants shed tears. They shouted, flew towards Wang Zhongbi's body, and began to cry.
Wu Nian sighed, feeling very sorry. It would be great if I could exchange this guy for one hundred thousand taels of silver. Immediately, he looked up at Wang Zhongbi's soldiers, with gentle eyes, and said loudly: "Brothers, don't worry. Even if Wang Zhongbi doesn't intercede for you, I won't touch you one bit."
"I, Wu Nian, swear to God that it was not my intention to raise an army to attack the Chu Kingdom, but it was forced by the situation. I will not kill Han people indiscriminately."
"It's just like what the arrow letter said. You can follow me to kill the Meng Yuan people. I can also arrange for you to farm in Liaodong."
"Now. Put down your weapons. Take a hundred steps back."
After Wu Nian finished speaking, he waved his hand to Feng Chong and said, "Get out of the way."
"Old thief. He died like this. He was really taken advantage of." Feng Chong didn't respect Wang Zhongbi at all. Instead, he gritted his teeth and looked at Wang Zhongbi's body. After listening to Wu Nian's order, he waved his hand and issued the order.
The cavalrymen drove their horses and made way for them.
Wang Zhongbi's three thousand soldiers put down their weapons without much hesitation, then stepped back a hundred steps, held their heads in their hands, and squatted on the ground.
"Go and cut off Wang Zhongbi's head and send it to the guard of Ling County. Tell him that Chu's national destiny is gone."
"As long as he surrenders to me, he will be rich and prosperous. When I conquer the capital of Chu, he will ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. He will be the founding father of the country, and he will be granted the title of wife and son."
Wu Nian's eyes flashed and he said in a deep voice.
"Yes." One of Feng Chong's banners responded loudly, and then he couldn't wait to gallop forward, pulled out the steel knife from his waist, cut off Wang Zhongbi's head, wrapped it in cloth, and took his cavalry with him. , and the horse galloped away towards Ling County.
"Take the prisoners. Let's go to Ke County to rest for a day. We will send troops to Ling County tomorrow." Wu Nian raised his head and glanced at the sky, reined in his horse, turned its head, and headed towards Ke County.
"You have all heard the general's order. Take the prisoners, bring Wang Zhongbi's body, and follow." Feng Chong turned to his subordinates and gave the order.
Wanhu's cavalry tidied up as instructed and followed Wu Nian to Ke County.
