Wei and Jin Cooks

Chapter 1220: Suicide

Wang Dun himself was aware of it. As he ran away, he found that there was no place for him to stay. He was blocked by an army on the road ahead. When he turned his horse's head to change direction, the army that had been chasing him also appeared in front of him. .

Wang Dun reined in his horse and looked at the mountains on the left, and then on the relatively flat field on the right. He could see that there was no limit to it, and it was all covered with knee-high weeds. There was a river passing by not far away. It looked like it would be easy to escape. All he had to do was escape to the river. Just find a way to cross the river, but...

Wang Dun suddenly gave up the idea of ​​​​escape. He sat on his horse and waited quietly for the people on both sides to arrive.

 Wang Xuan and Wang Yifeng came out and surrounded him one after another.

When Wang Dun saw their brother and sister, he couldn't help but burst into laughter. The laughter echoed in the mountains. His followers all turned pale and looked at him at a loss.

Wang Yifeng and Wang Xuan looked at him quietly, with little expression on their faces.

Wang Dun laughed until tears welled up in the corners of his eyes, and laughed out all the depression and anger in his chest. His back relaxed slightly, and he casually sat on the horse and said to the two of them, "Which of you is going to take my life?"

Wang Xuan pursed his lips, glanced at his sister across from Wang Dun, and said, "If you are willing to surrender, Si Niang and I will beg the general to spare your life."

Wang Dun sneered, "You said if you spare me, Zhao Hanzhang can let me go? I am the first person to cause trouble since she became the regent. Yuan Li died in my hands. Even if it was to scare the monkeys, she would not let him go." mine."

Wang Yifeng: "You are indeed old. Yuan Li is not dead. Not only is he not dead, he also destroyed your main force. Didn't you receive any news at all?"

Wang Dun's expression finally changed, "That Shiru and Wang Ying..."

Wang Yifeng: "You should have been escorted into Jiankang City by General Zhao Ju by now, right?"

Wang Dun couldn't help but get angry when he saw how cold-blooded she was, "Wang Bin is your uncle, Wang Ying is your cousin..."

Wang Bin, whose courtesy name is Shiru, is one of the few people in the Wang clan who rebelled with Wang Dun. No one knows that he doesn't actually want to rebel in his heart. He is just not convinced that Director Wang was treated like this by King Langya, and that the Wang family was treated like this. To suppress him, he suddenly led his nephews to find Wang Dun in order to make a fuss and make King Langya take a step back.

Who would have thought that King Langya was so useless that they made trouble. He did not work hard to rehabilitate or recruit people, so he turned around and joined Zhao Hanzhang.

Wang Dun, who was sincerely rebellious, also captured Yuan Li and provoked Zhao Hanzhang's army.

Wang Bin and Wang Ying separated from the main force and fled northward, intending to escape back to Langya.

They are few in number and their team is small, so they should not attract much attention, and they should not expect that they will flee north, right?

 He planned to hide for two years, wait until the news was over, and then use the Wang family's influence to seek pardon.

As a result, they bumped into Zhao Ju who was waiting for work, and were arrested earlier than Wang Dun.

Wang Yifeng had a telegram in her hand, and the news was almost real-time. Zhao Ju had just arrested the person, and she received the news not long after.

At this time, she kindly shared it with Wang Dun. Seeing that he was getting angry, she sarcastically said: "Uncle, he is thinking about family ties at this time. Did you care about your brothers when you killed my second uncle?"

Wang Dun immediately stopped talking.

If he had won, he could have said that he was different and not conspiring with each other; he could also have said that those who make big things do not stick to trivial matters, but now he has lost.

　　Since he has neither gained moral rights nor won, what else can he say?

"I want to avenge your second uncle, come on, kill or behead him, please do as you please."

Wang Yifeng snorted coldly: "You are already a turtle in the urn, why should I take another life?"

Having said that, let someone go up and take Wang Dun down. When Wang Dun saw this, he whipped out his sword and pointed it at the soldiers who were coming towards him, and shouted: "Wait a minute, Wang Yifeng, you want to take me to the capital to humiliate me?"

Wang Xuan: "Six Niang is trying to save you. She has an affair with the general. If we, brother and sister, use military merit to plead for mercy, we can always save your life."

Wang Dun narrowed his eyes, "You won't kill me for revenge?"

Wang Xuan: "I will take you back to the capital for trial and give justice to my second uncle. Even if this revenge is avenged, why do my fourth mother and I have to kill you? You are also our uncle."

Wang Dun was silent for a moment and then said, "The rumors outside are half true and half false. I killed him because he insisted on going north to join the war, and also because his mouth was too bad."

He raised his head to look at Wang Xuan and Wang Yifeng, and said solemnly: "I let him go once, but he left and came back. His destiny is such that I must take it."

Wang Yifeng tightened the reins in his hands and looked at him angrily.

Wang Dun suddenly laughed and said, "Today, my fate is the same as it is now, and it cannot be reversed."

"Tell Maohong for me that he should be tougher in future things and not always give in. Others may not appreciate his kindness." He added, "Please also tell King Langya that I am not ashamed of him. He is the one who has sorry for me." , I'm sorry Maohong. Although I lost, it was not to him, but to Zhao Hanzhang."

Wang Dun looked back and forth at the two brothers and sister, and sighed happily: "You two, brother and sister, are still promising. In the future, the Wang family will rely on you."

 Having said that, kill yourself with a horizontal sword!

Wang Xuan screamed, "Uncle Duntang—"

Wang Yifeng's expression changed, and she watched helplessly as Wang Dun committed suicide in front of her.

Wang Dun’s personal entourage also screamed in surprise, quickly dismounted from his horse, caught the fallen Wang Dun, and reached out to cover his neck.

Wang Xuan and Wang Yifeng also dismounted and ran over, half-kneeling in front of him to look at him. Wang Xuan took his head from his hands and hugged him, and also reached out to cover the wound on his neck.

Wang Dun looked at them with his eyes open for a while, without saying a word, closed his eyes and left.

Wang Dun's followers knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. Three of them stood up with tears in their eyes, drew out their swords, and were about to follow Wang Dun. Wang Yifeng, who had quick eyes and quick hands, caught his hand and kicked one away, hitting another one. Saved from the body.

Wang Yifeng said in a deep voice: "If you are truly loyal, then you will be extremely loyal by taking care of your uncle's affairs after his death."

With tears on his face, Qinsui said, "How can we, the traitors, have the right to say goodbye to the general? I'm afraid it will hurt my family, so it's better to die cleanly now."

The reason why Wang Dun committed suicide was that he did not want to go to Beijing and be humiliated, but more importantly he wanted to remove the Wang family from this rebellion. After he died, Wang Xuan and Wang Yifeng did not have to sacrifice their military exploits to save him. The other members of the Wang clan will not be implicated by him.

Even after death, the debts are wiped out, Zhao Hanzhang will still use Wang's people, and the Wang family will not decline.

These personal followers also have the same plan. They all still have close family members. If they are captured and returned, they will most likely be questioned, and it will be bad if their family members are implicated.

Wang Yifeng: "You are just subordinates, not the mastermind. The general is lenient. The most he can do is chop your heads off, and his family will not be implicated."

 In the end, Zhao Hanzhang didn't even chop off their heads. She only accused a few of the leaders, and the rest were either demoted or beaten to death, fined, and sent home to farm.

As for the low-ranking officers and soldiers who were unable to act independently, they were not even eligible for fines. They were either absorbed into other armies and then reorganized, or they were sent back to the countryside to settle down and farm.
