Chapter 2526 Saburo Will Help Us Conquer the South

Wu Mang said: "Go up and tell General Shao to close the city gate tightly until tomorrow afternoon. If anything happens during this period, you don't have to worry about it. I will bear everything... Don't be sad. This is my responsibility and the best thing I can do." Home.”

He watched the Great Chu Dynasty be established, and the three emperors of the Great Chu Dynasty all favored him. He could not watch the Great Chu Dynasty fall, so being buried in the Great Chu Dynasty was the best ending for him.

He added: "When the little girl that Brother Qi adopts is born, both male and female will be named after her."

His life has been too ups and downs and tiring. In the future, the descendants of the Wu family should live a more peaceful life.

After hearing this, Qiu Baihu looked at Wu Mang, who was already gray-haired, and shed tears. After being silent for a while, he said: "I will remember it, don't worry."

Then he said: "I will accompany you in the end."

Wu Mang refused: "No, you are still young and there is still a long way to go in the future. Accompanying me will not be good for your future promotion."

Although I don’t want to admit it, I have to say: “The Wei family is still pretty good~”

Qiu Baihu understood what Wu Mang meant, but said: "The old general has things he insists on, and so does the junior general. Let the junior general accompany you on your last journey on behalf of all the soldiers and generals in the Central Plains. Otherwise, I'm afraid you will be gone after you leave." , something will happen to the Central Plains soldiers, and then you won’t be able to help even if you want to.”

Wu Mang thought for a while and agreed: "Okay, but you can't do anything else. Whatever you do now is superfluous. Just accompany me on the last journey."

"Yes." Qiu Baihu took out the pen and paper he carried with him, wrote down Wu Mang's words, shook the rope, and the people on the tower took the rope up.

After reading the letter, the people on the city tower exploded. Ge Qianhu knelt down and said: "General Shao, quickly open the city gate and lead the troops to fight out. We can't just watch the old general die!"

This method of death was too cruel for these subordinates.

General Shao didn't want to see Wu Mang die, but: "This is the last thing he can do for you. Listen to his old man and don't let him go without worry."

Ge Qianhu was so sad that he knelt down and cried, but he knew that General Shao was right. They could not let down General Wu's kindness.

Young Master Yu also knelt down, and soon, all the soldiers on the tower knelt down one by one.

Only then did Second Young Master An realize his reaction belatedly. He was shocked. However, he was also someone who had experienced the catastrophe of Jin Dou Mansion. He was no longer an ordinary young man who was ignorant and impulsive. He knew that there was no way he could recover from this. The only thing I can do is kneel down.

Wei Er was angry when he saw it. This Wu Mang was so shameless and really wanted to be loyal to Da Chu!

He dismounted and went to find Wei Qi: "Uncle, Wu Mang is not willing to surrender to us, but should we send him on his way?"

Wei Qi: "No need, just let him."

Wei Er said: "But he gave an order not to open the city gate until tomorrow afternoon. This will delay our march for half a day and one night."

It's not worth wasting precious marching time on a dying man.

Wei Qi comforted him kindly: "Brother Xiao, my uncle knows that you are eager for revenge, but Wu Mang is a veteran general. Not only the generals in the Central Plains, but also the entire Chu State have some friendship with him, and he died to be loyal... ...As a general, the most important thing is loyalty. If we fulfill this great loyalty for him, we can also gain a good reputation and attract heroes from all walks of life to join us."

Then he looked at Yan Kuang and said respectfully: "What do you think, Master?"

That's right, Wei Qi was able to invite Yan Kuang because he worshiped Yan Kuang as his teacher.

After the fall of the previous dynasty, Yan Kuang fled to Dongqing. Emperor Jingtai invited him three times, but he did not come out. In the end, Emperor Jingtai was angered. Thinking that the Feng family and Mr. Ouyang Hong were still there, he used It doesn't matter if Yan Kuang is not needed, so I won't send anyone to invite him.

Unexpectedly, now that he was about to be buried, he was actually invited by Wei Qi. He did not want to travel thousands of miles to follow King Wei to defeat the guilty emperor, hoping to gain a reputation for being proud of future generations.

Yan Kuang was indeed very old. His two white eyebrows were as long as hair, hanging down on both sides of his cheeks. He closed his eyes and said, "What King Wei said is true. General Wei, please do as you please."

Wei Er looked at Yan Kuang's arrogant look and really wanted to kill him with a knife. But his uncle said that this old guy is better than the ministers of Mingwei Hall. With him, all the ministers in the world will submit to them, sing high praises for their new dynasty, and let their achievements be passed down to future generations.

Wei Qi knew that Wei Er was angry, so he looked at him, patted the carriage, and said: "You are tired, come up and rest for a while, we will talk about it tomorrow."

Then he ordered a scholar standing by the carriage and said: "Master Gong, please pass on the order. The whole army will rest on the spot and wait for Jin Dou Mansion to open the city gate for us."

"Yes." Master Gong hurriedly went to do it.

Wei Er did not get on the carriage. He was too lazy to deal with Yan Kuang, so he said, "My nephew, just rest somewhere else."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Wei Qi was not angry. He called two people and asked them to set up a tent, make a bed, and send all kinds of good food to Wei Er. When the Wei army saw this, they sighed again: King Wei is more affectionate to the younger King Wei. My son is even better.

This is what Wei Qi wants.

Wei Jiajun was busy, resting on the spot, cooking pots, and other than sending people to patrol at night, they did not do anything to Wu Mang and Jin Dou's house. They also specially cooked a sumptuous dinner and sent it to Wu Mang. Follow Qiu Baihu.

But Wu Mang didn't eat.

Naturally, Qiu Baihu didn't know how to eat it either.

…

The night passed quickly, and the next day, the big guy stayed with Wu Mang all morning again.

When noon arrived, Wu Mang issued his last military order: "Order, Jin Dou Mansion opens the city gate and allows King Wei to use the way!"

He shouted these words with all his strength, opened the poison he had been holding, and drank it.

Qiu Baihu saw it and did not stop him. He just held Wu Mang's hand. After he took his last breath, he said with tears: "Old General Wu, you have been loyal to the great Chu!"

He shouted three times in a row, and the sound spread around.

After Wei Qi heard this, he got off the carriage and knelt down to say goodbye to Wu Mang.

Wei Er could only order: "Wei Army, bid farewell to General Wu!"

He dismounted, led the Wei army, paid homage to Wu Mang three times, and saw him off for the last time. However, he felt that he was at a loss in his heart... Wu Mang, an old man, was really lucky. His military exploits were mediocre, but he was promoted to a high rank all the way. He died in such a dignified manner.

"Bring the cypress coffin, I will personally bury General Wu's body." Wei Qi ordered, but when the coffin was carried over, he was stopped by Qiu Baihu.

Qiu Baihu said: "Old General Wu's body should be collected by the soldiers from the Central Plains and sent to the capital to be returned to His Majesty."

If King Wei is allowed to collect the body, then General Wu will become a traitor who betrayed Da Chu!

After Wei Qi listened, he said a few more touching words, but Qiu Baihu refused to agree. He had no choice but to say: "Okay, I will keep the coffin, and you can handle the rest by yourselves."

However, Qiu Baihu did not use the coffin left by Wei Qi.

Not long after, the city gate opened. General Shao and the others, all dressed in white, carried a hastily made coffin and came to collect Wu Mang's body. After half an hour, they carried the coffin aside and made way for the Wei army. One way to go.

"Let's set off and go to the capital to defeat the guilty emperor!" Wei Er gave the order, and the Wei army moved through the city like an iron dragon.
