Chapter 1790 Funeral
……

General Ge was about to escort Tang Zhongzhou to the county seat, and when he learned that Qiu Qianhu was dead, he finally let go of his worries.

Qiu Manwu, don't blame us, you are stupid.

If you don't die, once the canonized team arrives, I'm afraid the affairs of Gaoshui County will be revealed, and then General Xu will become a mediocre person who can only fight but not rule the army.Emperor Jing Yuan could use this to arrange a lot of people in the army to help General Xu manage the army, and then all the hard work of General Xu would be lost.

So for the great plan of General Xu, we can't let you live!

"Old Ge, Qiu Manwu has gone." Vice-General Ma reminded him by touching the dazed General Ge with his hand.

General Ge woke up, the circles of his eyes soon turned red, and tears fell.

He wiped away his tears and sobbed: "Why is Man Wu doing this? General Xu has spared him the death penalty, so he can take off his armor and go home to reunite with his wife and children!"

Don't think that General Ge is pretending, he is really crying at the moment.

Qiu Manwu was his confidant, the two of them had fought many battles together, they were considered life and death brothers, it was true to let him commit suicide, but it was also true that he shed tears for his death.

"Old Ge, don't be sad, this is Man Wu's own choice." Vice-General Ma patted General Ge on the shoulder, comforted him, and said, "Let's go and see Man Wu."

General Ge nodded, and the two rushed to the camp where Qiu Qianhu was located with a group of personal soldiers.

Outside the camp, there was already a circle of soldiers. Qin Sanlang and the others stood outside the crowd formed by the soldiers. When they saw General Ge and Deputy General Ma approaching, they bowed their hands together and said, "I report to the two generals that Qiu Qianhu's body was found. Everyone who died is in the camp, and no one is allowed to leave, so I invite the two generals to go in and make decisions."

Qin Sanlang had long expected that Qiu Qianhu would not survive, so he withdrew Zhang Zhong, Zhang Tu and other soldiers yesterday. The soldiers guarding Qiu Qianhu last night were Qiu Qianhu's own soldiers and Xiaoyue Baihu. Bring the soldiers.

Now that he came here, he just surrounded the camp to prevent chaos, and didn't care about other things.

Vice General Ma was very satisfied with this, Saburo was really smart, he knew what to do and what not to do.

"Continue to guard." Vice-General Ma said, calling General Ge: "Old Ge, go in and have a look."

General Ge's face was sad, but in his heart he felt that Vice-General Ma had treated Qin Sanlang too kindly, but now was not the time to study these things carefully, so he stepped up to the tent and looked at Qiu Qianhu.

The moment he saw Qiu Qianhu's body, he cried again sincerely, hugged Qiu Qianhu's body, and cried, "Man Wu, General Xu has already given you a way to survive, why are you still thinking about it!"

Xiaoyue Baihu had already cried a lot, and when he saw this, he cried again: "General, Mr. Qianhu died a pitiful death!"

After listening to General Ge, he wanted to kick Xiaoyue Baihu, mother, can you talk?You said it like Qiu Manwu was assassinated. He committed suicide and apologized because he knew he had committed a serious crime. Do you understand? !
Xiaoyue Baihu is not stupid, seeing General Ge's complexion, he realized that he had said something wrong, and quickly pointed to the scabbard: "General, Qiu Qianhu left a suicide note...he knew he was wrong, he really knew it was wrong, He has been fighting all his life, and he asked the general to intercede for Qiu Qianhu and bury him with military honors!"

This is possible.

"Don't worry, although Man Wu is wrong, we all remember Man Wu's contribution. I will report to General Xu what you said." General Ge would say this because before coming, Xu The general had already discussed with them that Qiu Manwu should commit suicide and be buried with military ceremonies.

But it's one thing to negotiate, but it's another to go through the motions.

"Bring the suicide note." General Ge, holding Qiu Manwu's body still, ordered the soldiers.

Only then did the soldiers dare to move the scabbard, took out the suicide note under it, and presented it to General Ge: "General, please have a look."

General Ge took it and read it. After reading it, the hand holding the suicide note trembled and wept silently. Everyone present could feel that General Ge was really saddened by the death of Qiu Manwu. Desperate!
It took a long time for General Ge to speak with a choked up sob: "Man Wu, don't worry, the villains who harmed Gaoshui County will be severely punished, and we will also recruit your son to make them successful. Don't worry."

What General Ge was most satisfied with was the last request. Qiu Manwu was stupid for a while, but also smart for a while. With the last request in his suicide note, General Xu cleaned up the whole territory of the Northwest. The soldiers of the army are more convinced of General Xu.

In short, the disaster that Qiu Manwu caused was settled with his life.

"Come here, bring hot water, a bathtub, and clean clothes, and I will personally collect the body for Man Wu!" General Ge ordered, wiping away his tears.

"Yes!" All the soldiers started to move, and quickly brought buckets of hot water, bathtubs, cloth towels and other things, and asked General Ge to bathe Qiu Manwu and pack him into the coffin.

Qin Sanlang asked the soldiers to bring unused wooden boards, and it took an hour to drive out a decent coffin, which was lined with thick cotton cloth.

After General Ge cleaned up Qiu Manwu's body, he saw the new coffin outside the camp, and he changed his view of Qin Sanlang a lot: "You have a heart, and I thank you for Manwu."

Qin Sanlang clasped his fists together: "General, you don't need to thank me. This is what the last general should do. Although Qiu Qianhu made mistakes, he also made merits. It is our brotherhood to him to make a coffin for him and send him a ride. .”

This is true, and General Ge, who has a prejudice against Qin Sanlang, can't make a mistake.

After defeating the soldiers, General Xu kept emphasizing that all armies must be united and guarded by fellow soldiers. Qin Sanlang's words spoke to General Xu's heart.

"Come here, send Manwu into the coffin!" General Ge shouted, and ordered the soldiers to carry Qiu Manwu into the coffin according to the military etiquette.

There are some steps in this etiquette, so after more than two quarters of an hour of busy work, Qiu Manwu's body was put into the coffin and the coffin lid was closed.

What Qiu Manwu wore when he was buried was not a shroud, but General Ge's own set of armor.

General Ge gave Qiu Manwu his armor, and this incident became a good story among the lieutenant officers.

After the coffin was covered, General Ge saluted the coffin with tears in his eyes.

Xiaoyue Baihu and the others immediately followed, knelt down and kowtowed to Qiu Manwu's coffin: "Master Qianhu, please go, the last generals will continue to resist the army, and fulfill your ambition to drive the army out of Chu!"

As soon as these words came out, Vice General Ma had no choice but to say: "All soldiers, give Qiu Manwu a ride!"

With an order, all the soldiers of Gujia Village gathered to pay homage to Qiu Manwu.

This battle made Qiu Manwu look like a great hero rather than a sinner.

And that's what General Ge wanted.

Qiu Manwu must die, but he must not chill the hearts of the soldiers, so the dignity that should be given must be given.

The farewell ceremony lasted for more than an hour, and it was not until the afternoon that General Ge and the others took Qiu Qianhu's coffin and escorted Tang Zhongzhou to the county seat.
