Wang Bin looked at Qin Feng, who was still smiling. He had successfully used a strategy to blow up over ten thousand Jin Army soldiers, which was quite an achievement. However, he still needed to consider the feelings of others, particularly Wang Xiang.
He stroked his long, black beard, which was common among the generals, likely due to their busy schedules in the war, leaving them somewhat unkempt.
He said, "Qin Feng, there is something you might not know. Last night during the great battle, General Wang Song was killed in action. You didn't know that, did you?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng was very surprised. How could Wang Song have died?
Logically, explosives should have been planted along the route leading to those three armies, and the fuses should have been lit! Most of the Jin soldiers would have either died or been injured; how could there be casualties?
"Could it be that the army stationed with Wang Song encountered too many Jin soldiers and couldn't kill them with explosives? Did they charge forward in fierce combat, and Wang Song sacrificed himself for the country?"
The smiles on the faces of the surrounding generals also faded, revealing some concern and regret. After all, he was their colleague, and now he was gone!
Wang Bin shook his head and thought to himself that these Wang brothers were truly disappointing. The youngest only knew how to indulge in food and entertainment and was even shot by bandits.
The second brother, Wang Song, although very brave and strong, did not care for his own life! He dared to fight fiercely against those formidable Jin soldiers.
But he lacked intelligence; he only knew how to rely on brute strength on the battlefield without any strategy at all. He had entirely depended on his older brother Wang Xiang to become a general.
Among the three brothers, only Wang Xiang was truly impressive! Not only was his martial skill the best, but his strategies also far surpassed the others, earning him respect.
He continued, "Yesterday you devised that plan using explosives to prevent a surprise attack from the Jin soldiers. I conveyed the orders downwards; the two armies stationed outside the city complied. Taking advantage of the darkness, they buried those explosives properly. Indeed, nothing went wrong; instead, they killed over ten thousand Jin soldiers—their bodies piled high like mountains!"
However, it was only Wang Song in the northwest direction who did not comply. He had been punished by you yesterday and knelt for two hours; feeling resentful and dissatisfied with your method of using explosives in battle.
He did not follow my orders to have his subordinates bury explosives along the road. Although his subordinates advised him to do so, he refused to listen. He believed that a man should fight with real weapons and not fear the Jin people.
Of course, his subordinates did not dare to go against him. But then a major incident occurred that night! The Jin soldiers indeed came attacking.
Wang Song had the lowest defenses. Last night, he was in a bad mood and drank several pounds of liquor before falling asleep.
According to the soldiers on guard, Jin Bing shot and killed the soldiers outside and charged in, killing all the way to the vicinity of Wang Song's tent.
Wang Song was startled awake by the sounds of shouting and killing outside, but still half-asleep, he grabbed his Broadsword and rushed out, barely able to stand, ready to fight against the Jin Bing.
As a result, he was hacked to death by many Jin Bing with their chaotic blades! He had originally intended to bring back a trophy for his achievements, but it was snatched away by the Soldiers, leaving him with just a complete corpse!
The Song Army that rushed over later was even larger, and there were major incidents in the other two directions as well, which resulted in huge explosions and severe losses, prompting them to retreat.
However, Wang Song was indeed killed, brutally hacked to death. His body looked horrific, and over a hundred soldiers died alongside him; still, it could be considered a great victory!
Qin Feng listened carefully from the side; this was significant news—the general from the northwest had actually been killed.
But after listening closely, he realized that it was entirely due to Wang Song's arrogance and self-importance; he was just an ignorant man trying to play the hero.
If he had properly buried explosives, he wouldn't have been hacked to death and lost over a hundred brothers; it was truly foolish! His death was well-deserved.
Yet he did charge into battle with a knife; one could say he sacrificed himself for his country!
He said, "Although General Wang Song made mistakes, he also fought valiantly for the Song Dynasty and died in battle. He deserves recognition from the court!"
Wang Bin also took a few breaths, seemingly sighing.
He replied, "What you said makes sense. To be honest with you, last night I already detailed the situation and reported it to the court; I have recommended him for commendation."
"Although Wang Song was arrogant and lacked strategy, he showed no fear of death and dared to fight against Jin Bing. This merit is indeed his."
Most of the generals in the surroundings also expressed their agreement, stating that sacrificing for the country should naturally come with posthumous rewards.
Qin Feng also nodded in approval. Although Wang Song wanted to kill him, once he was dead, their grievances should be resolved.
Wang Xiang was furious, his veins bulging, and his yellow face was turning almost blue, showing how angry he was.
His younger brother Wang Song, although strong but not very clever, was dedicated to the country and would not shy away on the battlefield.
It was all because of Qin Feng and Bai Lian. He had punished his younger brother, making him feel uncomfortable, which led to him ignoring his strategy. This was all his fault; he had caused the death of his own brother.
His younger brother drowned his sorrows in alcohol, and it was because of this punishment that it happened. Otherwise, with his skills, how could he have easily been killed by a random knife?
Wang Bin was not a good person. Qin Feng was just a Civil Official, not one of them, yet he detailed Wang Song's incompetence!
Wasn't he intentionally humiliating him? Even after death, he still humiliated him; he would definitely not let this go.
His fists were tightly clenched as he thought to himself.
Last night, he had written a memorial and sent his trusted confidant with an urgent report to Tokyo City!
The content of the letter was naturally to impeach Qin Feng and Wang Bin. This Qin Feng, known as the Peace Envoy, secretly incited war and suggested attacking Jin Bing, which would surely ruin the negotiation. He recommended that the court execute Qin Feng and offer him to the Jin people for peace talks.
Wang Bin was also not a good person; he actually encouraged the Peace Envoy to attack Jin Bing. Wasn't this treason? Ignoring the court's wishes and being hell-bent on war—truly colluding with others.
It would be best to dismiss Wang Bin and send him back to his hometown to farm. He would take over as the highest General in Taiyuan and negotiate peace with the Jin people.
The generals in the surroundings also noticed that Wang Xiang looked very angry and sad; even his complexion had turned blue.
He did not dare to openly agree with Wang Bin and Qin Feng, after all, Wang Xiang was not an ordinary person; many of his relatives were high officials in Tokyo City.
Wang Bin certainly noticed this! This was just a matter concerning Wang Song; there were more significant issues that had yet to surface, which could be considered fortunate.
A smile appeared on his face. He did not intend to say these words, but Qin Feng was not a stranger; he was a comrade in the fight against Jin Bing.
Looking at Wang Xiang, he said, "Wang Xiang, do not be too upset. Once a person is dead, they cannot be brought back to life. You must pick up your fighting spirit and continue to resist the Jin people. They will never accept peace talks; they are determined to occupy the territory of our Great Song. You must continue to protect your home and country."
Wang Xiang heard this and a hint of a smile appeared on his pale face, though it looked somewhat awkward.
"I will listen to the General's words and will definitely reignite my fighting spirit. I will continue to lead my troops in resisting Jin Bing and will not allow them to invade the territory of our Great Song."
Wang Bin laughed heartily, feeling that he was still a useful general. His ability to express such sentiments showed that he still had some patriotism, and he praised him repeatedly.
The other generals noticed that the atmosphere had eased considerably; they should have also moved past it and began to laugh along, offering their compliments.
Qin Feng felt it was not that simple; Wang Xiang's expression was off, and his smile looked forced, indicating that he was likely saying one thing while feeling another.
