Vol 2 Chapter 2894: If the country is not won correctly, the country's destiny will be short-l

Chapter 2894: If the country is not won correctly, the country’s destiny will not be long, and the Cao brothers have no way out.

Chapter 2890: If the country is not won correctly, the country’s destiny will not last long, and the Cao brothers have no way out.

The root of Li Da's tragedy does not lie in himself, but in his position.

To put it bluntly, in this era where the gods of war are everywhere and the generals are inferior to dogs, the only strength is the first-class Li Da, who is just a bigger ant.

If Li Da hadn't been Cao Youwan's lieutenant and had access to the secrets of the grain depot, he wouldn't even be qualified to be noticed by Heibingtai.

 But it was precisely this identity and authority that ruined the life of the originally innocent Li Da.

No matter how domineering Heibingtai is, he cannot win over the enemy generals. He will use threats and inducements in a strong way. Even if he can make the opponent surrender, he will definitely have a grudge against him.

 First of all, in terms of methods of wooing,

But because Li Da’s position is so important and he has a loyal cousin who is also very loyal, it is difficult to impress him with ordinary inducements, so Heibingtai threatens Li Da so forcefully.

Secondly, it was precisely planned from the beginning to use Li Da's death to close the loop of Jia Xu's plan, so Li Da was not given the slightest respect.

Jia Xu, Bai Qi, and even A Qing and Huang Shang all know this. Only Li Da himself does not know. He only knows that he was used by Jia Xu and became an outcast.

Regarding this, Li Da was naturally filled with grief and indignation. He didn't understand that he had never offended Jia Xu, but the other party actually planned this big game and calculated every aspect, just to force a little person like himself to death. This was true. How much hatred and resentment?

As for me, Li Da, why do you, Jia Xu, make such calculations?

Li Da can be regarded as enjoying emperor-like treatment. After all, there are only a few people in the world such as Cao Cao, Zhao Kuangyin and others who can make Jia Xu calculate so seriously.

This time, Jia Xu's method of forcing Li Da to death was too despicable. The first step was to go straight to his weak point, then coercion, inducement, and moral kidnapping. After using the hard knife, he used the soft knife to completely win the other party's trust. After there was no turning back, he was stabbed in the back and fell into the abyss.

After Jia Xu's operation, let alone Li Da, anyone with any conscience would probably collapse, so Li Da simply accepted his fate after being completely desperate.

What can you do if you don’t accept your fate? The two great masters of Daqin were opposite him. He could still retain some dignity by committing suicide. If he hadn't committed suicide, the other party would definitely help him with his dignity.

Whether Li Da commits suicide or not, the final result will be the same, so why not use his own death to fight for the final benefits for his family and son.

Li Da didn't believe a word of Jia Xu's promise, but he was not the only traitor in Chenliu City who was instigated to rebel. If the Qin Dynasty did not treat his family well after his death, what would the living people think?

 So, as long as Li Da voluntarily dies, Jia Xu will definitely keep his promise. After all, with so many pairs of eyes watching, Jia Xu is shameless and Da Qin is shameless.

Seeing Li Da in a trance for a while, and after a mental struggle, he stood up staggeringly, pulled out the sword and put it across his neck. Ah Qing couldn't help but said: "Do you have any last words?"

Li Da has seen through life and death. In his eyes, A Qing, Huang Shang, and Jia Xu are the same, so he doesn't bother to talk to them at all.

Upon seeing this, Ah Qing continued: "Actually, we sympathize with your deeds. If it were my husband, he would definitely not do this.

But this matter was secretly planned by Jia Xu, and you should also know that Jia Xu has always been known for being ruthless, and he is the emperor's uncle, so there is nothing we can do to stop him.

But don’t worry, I can promise you in the name of my legal wife that Jia Xu will definitely fulfill what she promised you, and we will try our best to compensate you. Do you have any last wishes? "

Hearing that A Qing was actually Bai Qi's wife, Li Da's eyes regained a touch of color. After all, Bai Qi's reputation was much better than Jia Xu, who was disliked by others.

“First, you planned to drive me to death step by step, and then you felt guilty and wanted to make up for it? What do you think this is? Do you think that you can have a clear conscience?”

Hearing Li Da's disdainful words, Huang Shang frowned in displeasure, while Ah Qing looked ashamed and was speechless.

After being silent for a while, Ah Qing said seriously: "If you don't want to, we will never force you. As for Jia Xu, I will go and intercede for you. I believe that the old guy will sell me some thin noodles."

As soon as these words came out, Li Da had no reaction, but Huang Shang on the side was completely stunned and hurriedly advised: "Ah Qing, you..."

Before he finished speaking, Ah Qing raised his hand and interrupted: "His Majesty once said that the Qin Dynasty must be upright when it wants to conquer the world. If the country is not won in an upright manner, the country's destiny will not be long.

Jia Xu did this very badly. Once exposed, it will not only affect him, but also damage the reputation of Da Qin. Besides, whether Li Da dies or not, it will not have much impact on the overall situation. "

"But…"

Huang Shang wanted to persuade her again, but after seeing A Qing's firm gaze, she finally swallowed her words. After all, A Qing is not only Bai Qi's wife, but also the empress's senior sister. Her interpersonal relationships in Da Qin are unparalleled. It's better not to disobey her if you just make offerings to her, otherwise you won't be pleased both inside and outside.

Li Da was also stunned when he heard this. At this moment, he believed that A Qing and Qin Emperor Ying Hao, who said that "if the country is not won correctly, the country's destiny will not be long", they are definitely not insidious villains like Jia Xu.

Especially Ah Qing, the other party is a truly good and righteous person. If he refuses, the other party may really be able to save his life, but after thinking about it again and again, Li Da still shook his head and refused.

Seeing Li Da's refusal, not only Ah Qing but also Huang Shang was stunned. Apparently, they didn't understand why Li Da gave up this precious chance to survive.

In response to this, Li Da could only say with a relieved look: "I, Li Da, am not a ungrateful person. As long as Da Qin's promise can be fulfilled, I am willing to devote myself to the unification of the world."

At this time, Ah Qing was completely speechless. He would have been unwilling to do so before, but now Li Da has voluntarily sacrificed his life for the unification of the Qin Dynasty. Who can say no to such a person who sacrifices his life for righteousness and understands the righteousness?

But what neither of them knew was that Li Da's refusal was not out of righteousness, but because he was afraid that Jia Xu would settle the score afterwards.

Jia Xu is a vicious and insidious person. Ah Qing could not tolerate Jia Xu's plan, but Li Dak was not sure.

Ah Qing can protect him for a while, but it is impossible to protect him for life. If the other party seizes the opportunity, Jia Xu will crush him as easily as crushing an insect. Moreover, it may also affect the fish in the pond and affect his family. After all, eradicating the root cause will leave no future troubles. , has always been Jia Xu’s style of acting.

Based on this consideration, although Li Da still still had hatred in his heart, he was relieved a lot. Since he was destined to die, why not die as a hero? In this way, his son would become a hero and a meritorious official, and his future career would be better. It will be smoother than him.

"Senior, I have let down your kindness." Li Da expressed his apology to Ah Qing sincerely. He could see that among the two great masters, only Ah Qing was really thinking about him. He also felt sorry for Ah Qing. I really can't accuse the other party of anything, I just hope that there are more good people like Ah Qing in Da Qin than Jia Xu.

"Is there anything else you want to say to your wife and children? I can convey it to you." Ah Qing sighed.

"Please tell my son that his father voluntarily sacrificed his life for righteousness. He must study hard and practice hard, and he will be a hero like his father when he grows up."

The word "hero" should be what all fathers expect from their sons, but for some reason, when these two words came out of Li Da's mouth, both Ah Qing and Huang Shang felt extremely awkward and ironic.

Li Da naturally does not want his son to be like him, but such encouragement may make his son work hard. Even if he cannot be a hero, he can at least be a capable and accomplished person, so that he may live longer.

"I will bring you your original words. In addition, if your son's qualifications are acceptable, I can accept him as a disciple and teach you on your behalf."

Hearing Ah Qing’s words, Li Da’s lifeless face suddenly showed a look of ecstasy.

Worship the master as a teacher. How many people are the sisters of the family, and even the prince cannot enjoy the treatment. If his son can enjoy it, then his starting point will be farther than his own end.

“Thank you so much, senior. Thank you so much, senior. I can’t thank you enough for your kindness. How about I give you a kowtow…”

With that said, Li Da was about to kneel down, but was stopped by Ah Qing.

"No need, you voluntarily sacrificed your life for the sake of our unification of the Qin Dynasty. This is what you deserve."

Ah Qing didn't think too much. She really thought that Li Da had figured it out and voluntarily sacrificed his life for the righteousness. Out of admiration in her heart, she proposed to accept Li Da's son as a disciple to compensate him.

Li Da also knew this, but he couldn't say it out loud, because without this admiration, Ah Qing would not be able to accept his son as his disciple, so he could only thank Ah Qing profusely, and then draw his sword and prepare to kill himself.

"etc."

Li Dagang was about to commit suicide, but was stopped by Huang Shang.

 “You can’t die like this,”

With that said, Huang Shang took out a letter from his arms and said: "This is a letter written by Jia Xu. You need to make a copy first and then kill yourself. This will have the best effect."

　　　…”

Li Da was completely speechless. He was relieved and prepared to die voluntarily. He didn't expect to be tortured like this before he died.

 Old thief Jia Xu, thank you so much for squeezing out the last bit of use value from me. I hope you will give birth to a child without an **** in your next life. No, you will not have one in your next life.

After cursing Jia Xu in his heart, Li Da followed Huang Shang's instructions and copied a copy of Jia Xu's letter, then drew his sword and killed himself in front of Ah Qing and Huang Shang.

Looking at Li Da's body, Ah Qing felt quite complicated. She was from Heibingtai and had used many dirty tricks, but she had never been as despicable as Jia Xu, who designed her step by step to force people to commit suicide.

This is no longer just killing people, but also killing people's hearts.

This also greatly shocked Ah Qing's heart, and she made up her mind to persuade her husband to keep Bai Qi away from Jia Xu, an old poisoner after returning.

 “Someone is coming.”

 Huang Shang spoke, awakening Ah Qing who was in a complicated mood, and then the two of them disappeared into the lobby in a flash, and then brothers Cao Youwen and Cao Youwan broke in with people.

When they saw Li Da's body, which was also a suicide, Cao Youwen and Cao Youwan both felt their hearts sinking. After all, there was no evidence that Li Da was dead. How could they explain this?

 “Brother, Li Da also left a suicide note.”

 “Open it quickly and take a look.”

Cao Youwen and Cao Youwan opened Li Da's suicide note together, but what they didn't expect was that Li Da actually explained in the letter exactly how he was threatened by Da Qin with his family, and then he completely sank step by step, and finally had to Do not cooperate with the other party's behavior of burning food.

At the end of the letter, Li Da placed all the blame on himself, and sincerely apologized to Cao Youwan, saying that he had betrayed the other party's trust and should go to hell, but he also had reasons to do so. , I hope Cao Youwan will not blame him, and hope this letter can help him clear away the suspicion.

Although Li Daxin did not directly say some words in his letter, the meaning behind them is that Cao Wei is finished and following Cao Wei will lead to death. He hopes that Cao Youwan can abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side as soon as possible.

 After reading it, both the elder brother Cao Youwen and the younger brother Cao Youwan had mixed feelings.

Especially Cao Youwan. Although Li Da was his lieutenant, the two had a very good personal relationship and almost became sworn friends. He also knew that Li Da was a person who values ​​love and justice, but he did not expect that the other party would commit suicide out of guilt. , and used his own death to help him clear away suspicion.

 “This guy Li Da still has some conscience...”

Before Cao You could finish what he said, Cao Hong led his men in.

After seeing Li Da's body, Cao Hong seemed to understand everything and sneered: "Cao Youwen, Cao Youwan, are you here to kill people and silence them?"

As soon as these words came out, Cao Youwen and Cao Youwan were stunned. Cao Youwen hurriedly explained: "General Cao Hong, you can't say this nonsense. We have just arrived, and Li Da committed suicide. It has nothing to do with us. Besides, Li Da has committed suicide." Da also left a suicide note, which explained his crimes, which is enough to prove our brother’s innocence.”

Cao Hong took the suicide note suspiciously, and after reading it, his face became even colder, and he said angrily: "Do you brothers regard me as a fool? Put all the blame on a dead man, so that there will be no evidence, right? With this You want to deceive me with this little trick?"

As soon as these words came out, Cao You and Cao Youwan were completely dumbfounded.
