Chapter 818 The End of the Hero ([-])

The heavy snow that has been raging for a whole winter has finally stopped, the clouds have cleared, the blue sky is like washing, the sun is high in the sky, under the golden sun, the snow is shining, and the scenery is not very beautiful. If poets and scholars come here, then He will definitely be full of poetry, but the fourteenth master's mind is obviously not on it. Although his eyes are gazing at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, what is rippling in his eyes is not the color of admiration, but the color that is too thick to melt sad.

It has been seven years since Kangxi led a large army to go out in the 53rd year. In this frontier fortress, his fourteenth master has been fighting for more than seven years. He has experienced countless wars. Ministry, but after all, he regained Tibet and stabilized the border situation. At least from the perspective of his Fourteenth Master, he was already worthy of the country, but the result in exchange was that the Third Master was enthroned. How can the fourteenth master be convinced, it is precisely because of this unwillingness, even if the three masters have continued to issue edicts in the past half a month, the fourteenth master has not paid attention to it, but he does not intend to return to Beijing alone for the funeral, even if he must If you want to return to Beijing, you will definitely not follow the routine of the third master. With 30 soldiers in hand, the fourteenth master does not think that the third master can really win him, but then again, the fourteenth master also dare not Qingdong, there is no one else, because the Fourteenth Master also has unspeakable hidden worries!

Fodder!In the final analysis, it is still such an old problem-since the winter, Liu San'er and Li Shuangchun, the two adjutants of the grain Taoist master, began to disobey orders. The ground reasoned that the snow was hard to move, and the amount of food and fodder dispatched to the camp was always insufficient, and it was always kept at the amount barely enough to supply the army for ten days. Once there was a little surplus, the two men stopped sending food. The old Fourteen hated it very much, but there was nothing he could do about it, nothing else, those two were not under his old Fourteen's command at all, and it was difficult for the Bing and Hu Erbu to restrain the two Hong Qing The servant of the sect, such a headache-inducing situation has been kept in such an embarrassing winter.

Without food, the army would be unable to move out. No matter how impatient the old fourteen was, he had no choice but to take over the grain stations along the way. Go to control the two nearest grain stations and try to seize the stored grain, but unfortunately Liu San'er and Li Shuangchun were already prepared for this. The army was only used for two days. Before the old fourteen's sneak attack troops launched again, Liu and Li had already blatantly burned several subsequent grain stations. The solemn protest pushed the responsibility for the fire at the follow-up grain station to the rebels. For this reason, the pen and ink lawsuits between the two sides continued endlessly, and the supply of grain on the grain road became even more insufficient.

Since the food road is unreliable, the only hope of the old fourteenth can only be on Nian Gengyao. After all, with the wealth of Sichuan and Hanzhong, there is no problem in supplying 30 troops to return to Beijing. There was no movement at the other end. Even though the old fourteen had sent people to urge him several times, he still couldn't get a letter from Nian Gengyao. Under such circumstances, no matter how anxious the old fourteen was, he couldn't I can only wait helplessly. As for whether the news is good or bad, it is indeed not up to his old fourteen to control it. When he is depressed, the old fourteen doesn't want to stay in the noisy barracks anymore. Instead, he led a group of guards and galloped through the snow, randomly chose a small hill, and stopped there, admiring the snow scenery boredly.

"Report, report to the general, urgent dispatch from Xi'an!"

Just as the old Fourteen was standing on the top of the mountain in a state of confusion, Yiqi suddenly rushed over from a distance, and galloped straight to the distance of less than five steps away from the old Fourteen. He quickly rolled off the saddle and got off the horse, kneeling in front of Old Fourteen. With one move of his hand, a small brass pipe appeared in front of Old Fourteen.

"Ugh……"

Seeing that the style of the small brass tube was the format of the most urgent letter, the expression of the old fourteen immediately changed, and without further thought, he snatched the small brass tube over and quickly twisted it away. He took out a roll of paper from the inside, and when he opened it, his face turned pale. After standing there blankly for a long time, he let out a long sigh, and closed his eyes in pain. There is nothing else, there is a lot of news in this volume of secret letters, but all of them are bad news. Not only Nian Gengyao has been beheaded by Hongqing, but even E Hai and Fan Shijie have been taken into prison by Hongqing. The situation has completely fallen into Hong Qing's control, and the last chance of the old fourteen to make a comeback has been declared disillusioned!

"Go, go back to camp!"

After all, the old fourteen is a heroic generation. Although he was hit hard by this series of bad news, he was only stunned for a moment, and then he woke up. He planned to go back to the camp to call a group of confidants and generals to discuss the regulations Come out, why can't I just admit it!
"What's going on? Why is it so chaotic!"

The old fourteen went out of the camp today to relax, and ran a little far away from the camp. Even though he was galloping all the way, it was more than half an hour before he returned to the camp. The cheers in the barracks rang out one after another, his heart sank involuntarily, he hurriedly accelerated his horse, and rushed into the barracks like a thunderbolt, and he saw countless soldiers cheering and jumping for joy, not just his central army In this way, the left, right, front and back battalions are all the same. Seeing this, the old fourteen's face immediately darkened, and he rushed to a guerrilla general who was yelling excitedly, and stopped drinking in a cold voice. With a voice.

"General, General Yanxin and the imperial envoy have announced in public that they will withdraw their troops in the near future. The last general has been waiting for a long time to return, so he lost his composure. Please, General Haihan, please."

Seeing that it was Old Fourteen who had rushed over, the guerrilla general dared not ignore it, and hurriedly knelt down in front of Old Fourteen's horse, and explained the matter respectfully.

"what?"

Hearing the news, the old fourteen felt a sharp pain in his chest, and a mouthful of blood rushed to his mouth, but he didn't want to lose his temper in public, so he swallowed the blood forcefully, but the blood line The corner of his mouth was still wet, but he didn't care to wipe it off. He led his guards and galloped towards the tent of the Chinese army. Before he got off his horse, he saw the deputy commander Yan Xin and a middle-aged eunuch walking up hand in hand. come here.

"Yanxin, you are so brave, you dare to spread rumors in the army without the king's consent, are you trying to rebel?"

Old Fourteen did not get off his horse, but whipped his whip, and scolded Yan Xin savagely.

"The general misunderstood. The last general is only following orders. His Majesty has orders for you."

Yanxin is a neutral faction, and has never been involved in the disputes between elder brothers. He has always obeyed the old fourteen's words and never dared to contradict his words and deeds, but today is different from the past, with holy intentions With his support, Yan Xin would no longer care about the authority of the old fourteenth, and he said without arrogance or humility.

"Your Majesty has an edict here, and General Wang Yunzhen still kneels down to listen to it!"

Yan Xin's words had just finished, and before the old fourteen could speak again, the middle-aged eunuch had already taken a step forward, shook his hand, took out a scrolled imperial edict from his sleeve, held it high After passing the top of the head, Kang Sheng stopped drinking.

"Minister, Aixinjueluo? Yunyu listened respectfully to the hadith."

The middle-aged eunuch was full of anger, and when he stopped drinking, all the officers and soldiers who had been chattering in a mess suddenly quieted down, and countless people's eyes immediately focused on the old fourteen. Undoubtedly, the pressure was enormous, until the old fourteen's complexion was extremely pale. Although he was full of dissatisfaction, under such circumstances, the old fourteen really didn't dare to do things that openly disobeyed the order , in desperation, he could only grit his teeth, turn over and get off the horse, kneel on the ground unwillingly, and replied in a low voice.

"Following the fate of the heavens, the emperor's edict said: the late emperor made a great trip, and my heart was in a state of confusion. The general Wang Yunzhen was ordered to return to Beijing immediately to assist in the affairs of the court. He was allowed to bring [-] horses with him, escorted by the benevolent prince Hongqing, and arrived in Beijing within [-] days. There must be no mistake, this!"

If the many imperial decrees in the past half month are considered polite, this decree has no mercy at all. Although the number of words is not very large, the lines are full of murderous intent. There is no doubt that if the old ten Si If you don't accept the call again, what you will receive next is not an imperial edict, but a butcher's knife.

"Thank you, my minister, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

At this moment, the hatred for the third master in the old fourteen's heart can be said to be exhausted and it is difficult to wash away, but no one is under the eaves, but he has to bow his head.

"Great General, Your Majesty has an urgent call and there should be no delay. Please go ahead."

The old fourteen had just thanked him, but before he could stand upright, the middle-aged eunuch waved his hand expressionlessly, and urged him to do so.

"Eunuch, please wait a moment, how about letting me take care of things before we start?"

Old Fourteen was obviously unwilling to be deprived of military power just like that, even though he knew it was hopeless, he still wanted to make a final struggle.

"No need. General Yanxin has taken over the affairs of the military. As for the military administration in the northwest, Prince Ren has also taken care of it. You should go on the road with this old slave."

The middle-aged eunuch had no intention of giving the old fourteen such a chance to die, so he directly rejected the old fourteen's proposal.

"Humph!"

The old fourteen looked at the middle-aged eunuch, then at the expressionless Yanxin and the generals behind him, seeing that no one came forward to support him at this moment, how could he not know that the big thing was over, he felt relieved After a while of sorrow and desolation, I didn't bother to do any more unnecessary struggles, so I snorted heavily, got on my horse, and galloped out of the camp without saying a word...
