"Meng Shiwei is pretty good at fighting." Wang Xiao looked at the situation on the battlefield and commented.

His tone was very plain, because in today's battle situation, no matter how powerful Meng Shiwei was in the war, he would never turn defeat into victory. This is no longer something that his ability can change.

"With his combat skills, he has suppressed bandits for so many years, but after suppressing them, Tang Zhongyuan and Zhang Xianzhong successively proclaimed themselves emperors..."

"Does the King of Jin want to say that because he raises the enemy and respect himself?"

"How to say it?" Wang Xiao thought about it, but he sighed and said, "But if he didn't raise Kou Zisheng, he would have died long ago..."

On the battlefield, the horse was neighing and Meng Shiwei was overturned to the ground.

He wanted to stand up with a long sword, but in front of him, a row of soldiers from North Chu were rushing up in an orderly queue.

"Master!"

The personal guard behind Meng Shiwei rushed up and stood in front of him.

Another person pulled him back.

"Master, go quickly! Go quickly..."

Meng Shiwei, who was red-eyed, turned around and saw that the deputy general Ma Xiujun's face was covered with blood and was shouting constantly.

"Don't retreat!" Meng Shiwei roared: "Follow me to kill him! Go and kill Wang Xiao..."

Before Ma Xiujun could answer, he heard a row of guns firing, and many soldiers in front fell down.

A Northern Chu soldiers rushed into the formation with their spears.

"Master-in-law, go!" Ma Xiujun shouted and pushed Meng Shiwei.

With a "puff", a spear penetrated Ma Xiujun's lower abdomen.

Meng Shiwei forced the Northern Chu soldiers in front of him to retreat, and took a few steps back with Ma Xiujun.

"Master...I took the money...but...zhong...zhong..."

Ma Xiujun murmured, trying hard to say something.

He looked at Meng Shiwei, really wanting him to know his loyalty...

Meng Shiwei just watched him fall down and murmured: "I know."

Meng Shiwei has always known that although his generals have many bad habits, they still have loyalty and righteousness towards him.

Just like although he was self-respecting, he still had the best of his kindness and righteousness to the Chu Dynasty.

He held the long sword tightly, turned around, and killed Wang Xiao again in the direction where he was.

With the long sword swung, Meng Shiwei roared angrily: "Wang Xiao! How dare you, a traitor, kill me?! A traitor!"

The roar echoed in the valley.

Meng Shiwei is sincere.

He truly believed that Wang Xiao was a traitor, and that Meng Shiwei was a loyal minister and general of the Great Chu.

That year, the capital fell and the late emperor passed away. Zheng Yuanhua supported the emperor's grandson in Nanjing. His generals were excited and asked to go east to attack Nanjing.

It was Meng Shiwei who put the overall situation first and drew his sword across his neck, threatening that if he dared to go east, he would commit suicide and die for his country. Only then did he calm down the harsh feelings of the generals and maintain stability in Jiangnan.

If he threatened the emperor to order the princes, he could have done that year.

He didn't, he just wanted to let his father and son guard Wuchang for generations. Someone suggested that he support the King of Chu in Huguang, but he refused.

Instead, Wang Xiao supported the King of Qi and planned to usurp the throne.

You can see who is loyal and who is treacherous at first sight.

But it was Wang Xiao, a treacherous minister who was a treacherous minister, who was a traitor and was very ruthless, and now he was very powerful; and Meng Shiwei, who guarded the last bit of loyalty and righteousness, came to his current fate...

Meng Shiwei thought about this, and his heart was filled with pain and grief.

He had known for a long time that this world was like this, and whoever honestly listened to the court's orders would die first.

These days, who have worked hard to fight for the country, can they have a good end?

After the Battle of Ruzhou, the governor of Shaanxi three sides retreated to Tongguan. Faced with the attack of Tang Zhongyuan, the soldiers of the Chu Dynasty had no military supplies or clothes to keep warm. They asked the King of Qin in Xi'an for some silver and money, but the King of Qin did not even give a cotton coat to the soldiers.

The court did not give silver and grain, but would only keep urging them. The rich enemy kings in various places refused to give out silver to help their salaries. What should we use to be loyal to the country?

The robbery of the vassal kings is a rebellion, so what should I do if I don’t want to rebel? I can only feed grain from the people.

Those who do not collect food from the people will only die.

The governor of Shaanxi did not collect food from the people, so he died in Tongguan. At that time, he guarded the east gate of Tongguan and was stabbed to death by random guns. When his generals ran away, they pushed down the wall and covered his body, resulting in the absence of his bones. Five days later, Xi'an was defeated, and his wife and children committed suicide by jumping into the well.

Then what? The court could not find his body and suspected that he surrendered to the enemy. Not to mention rewards, he would have to suffer an unjust injustice after his death...

This is the fate of all the loyal ministers and generals of the Great Chu Dynasty, all!

For twenty or thirty years, Meng Shiwei has seen one loyal and loyal official after another finally ruined his reputation and his corpse remains.

Under the bloody lesson, he learned a lot and understood that only by indulging soldiers to rob, burn and kill them would not cause mutiny because there was no grain and silver to reward the army; only by not obeying the court's control would he not be beaten to death by the rebels…

Bullying the weak and fearing the strong, raising the enemy to respect themselves, and separating the country... Meng Shiwei did these things at the beginning without being ambitious.

Just to protect yourself.

"It was the court who defeated me first."

What’s ridiculous is that many years have passed, all the loyal ministers and generals have died. Instead, these warlords who have dominated the country survived in the troubled times and became the major figures who have dominated the world.

Meng Shiwei finally understood the world. As long as he had soldiers in his hands, the court could not do anything to him.

But even so, he was still not as excessive as other warlords.

He was not as cruel as Guan Ming, nor as cruel as Tong Yuanwei, nor was he colluded with foreign enemies like Fang Mingfu...

Although the court is already very bad, and although he does not obey the court's control, he is still loyal and courageous in his heart.

When Emperor Yanguang passed away, the news came, and he cried to death. The Qing Dynasty sent people to surrender many times and asked him to attack Northern Chu, but he refused harshly. His subordinates kept asking him to raise troops to clear the emperor, and he kept suppressing them...

Even in the end, he was forced to go nowhere and finally got up, but his intention to rebel was not firm.

What he didn't tell his son was that he also hoped that the world would be peaceful as soon as possible. Even if he had won the Northern Chu, Emperor Jianwu was also the bloodline of the late emperor.

Meng Shiwei, he had the ancestral temple and country in his eyes.

Who is the real traitor? It is Wang Xiao.

Why did Wang Xiao set up a trick to ambush here?

Meng Shiwei knew that it was because Wang Xiao wanted to usurp the throne and take power alone, so he could not tolerate himself, a general loyal to the Chu family, surrendered from the very beginning.

Ridiculously, the sly sloppy people are extremely powerful, and the loyal and kind people are disgraced.

It’s ridiculous that I know that loyalty will not have a good end, but I’ve known it a long time ago... But this time I’ve compromised...

It's really time to rebel from the beginning.

I really should have determined to conquer Nanjing.

Because this world cannot tolerate a little loyalty and righteousness!

...

Meng Shiwei mocked this ridiculous world in his heart, and endless sadness also surged up.

He kept waving the long sword in his hand, as if he wanted to smash the damn world...

"Bang!"

A musket hit his armor, his chest hurts violently and he falls to the ground...

Wang Xiao saw the scene of Meng Shiwei being knocked down through Qianli Miles.

"Do you think I'm fair?" he asked suddenly.

Qinshanhedao: "I don't know what the King of Jin meant."

"I didn't kill Bumubutai." Wang smiled.

He actually thought about killing Bumubutai, just like killing Meng Shiwei today, but after thinking about it, he couldn't think of a reason.

He cannot blame the ten-day Jiading Sanshu, which has not happened now, on the current Bumubutaitou.

When the Jizhen Massacre occurred, BumuButai was just a poor concubine in the Qing Dynasty harem.

As for the policy after entering the country, many policies were not out of her intentions, and she spent more of her efforts on balancing the power of the Korean Central Committee.

At that time, Wang Xiao thought about it and decided to deal with her as a political prisoner, rather than a war criminal.

Today, facing Meng Shiwei, Wang Xiao was thinking whether he was fair or not.

Because Bumubutai was having a good time with him and gave birth to a son for him, did he treat her with lenient treatment?

No, if Meng Shiwei surrendered at the beginning, he would be demoted to a commoner and would be detained for the rest of his life... Considering the situation in Jiangnan, it would not be impossible.

However, Meng Shiwei personally ordered the slaughter of so many people, and the situation involved is not as far-reaching as Mongolia, so he can get the same treatment as Bumubutai?

Well, even if I killed Meng Shiwei, there was nothing unfair...

The reason why Wang Xiao thought about this was because he wanted to order Meng Shiwei to be captured alive and use it to control the army on the Yangtze River.
To be continued...
