Humane Yongchang

Chapter 224 Yingchuan
Four days later.

Chen Shengti's [-]th and [-]th regiments of the Second Division, directly under the cavalry battalion and the scout battalion, with a total of [-] soldiers and horses, secretly arrived near Xuchang in Yingchuan.

The scenery of Yingchuan is not much different from that of Chenjun.

The same plain mixed with hilly landforms, the same temperate climate.

If it weren't for the scouts scattered along the way, who continuously passed the marching process to Chen Sheng's hands, it would be difficult for him to tell whether he was in Chen County or Yingchuan.

This is his second expedition.

Compared to the first time when I led troops to face Tu Sui, I felt a sense of confusion that I had no idea where to start and what to do.

This time, Chen Sheng was very calm in his heart.

Orderly marching troops.

Set up camp in an orderly manner.

Orderly deployment of scouts...

Although military affairs are complicated, occasionally there are omissions.

But he showed no signs of being in a hurry.

No matter what matters are communicated to him, he can quickly make a decision and respond.

Even if there was something wrong with his subordinates, he just reprimanded him in a soft and amicable manner.

When patrolling the camp, no matter who greeted him, he always nodded with a smile on his face.

It seems that since stepping out of the Panlongzhai Red Army Camp, Chen Sheng has not let out a loud voice.

Just his composure and calm.

It did not make the accompanying soldiers feel relieved.

On the contrary, the closer it is to the hinterland of Yingchuan County.

Less noise in the military.

All the soldiers gradually turned into the appearance of Chen Sheng.

When you're on the march, keep your mind on the march.

Take the time to sleep while camping.

The huge barracks was so calm that it was like a mountain forest in the middle of winter.

The foundation of the sixth and seventh regiments of the Second Division was the Song and Fourth Song of the County Soldiers who followed Chen Sheng to Qiao County to meet Tu Sui last year.

Therefore, they can really feel the peace of mind of their coach.

You can also vaguely see this calm surging... thunder!
General, is the courage of the soldier!

……

That night.

Chen Shengbu camped under an unnamed hill [-] miles west of Xuchang, and the scouts guarded the surrounding area for more than [-] miles.

When he was young, Chen Sheng patrolled the camp with lanterns as usual.

I happened to meet Chen Ying who was also patrolling the camp.

"The last will meet the general!"

Seeing Chen Sheng, Chen Ying took the lead in clasping his fists and salute without waiting for Chen Sheng to make a sound.

Chen Sheng stretched out his hand to support it, nodded with a smile, "Get up!"

Chen Ying: "Thank you, General!"

Chen Sheng looked around, stretched out his hand to take the lantern from the guards beside him, then waved his hand to screen away the guards accompanying him and Chen Ying, and said with a smile, "Let's go around together?"

Chen Ying: "Dare not to obey orders!"

Chen Sheng took the lantern and strode forward, Chen Ying trailed him one and a half positions, and followed him step by step.

"It's almost half a year old that you abandoned the darkness and joined me under my command, but I have never summoned you in private. Is there any resentment in my heart?"

Chen Sheng smiled lightly.

Chen Ying hurriedly replied: "The general is busy with his official business and has a lot of time to manage. How can the last general dare to hope that the general will have leisure for me!"

Chen Sheng said "Oh": "Don't you dare? No?"

Chen Ying hurriedly said: "That's not what the last general meant. If the last general is a general, he can be promoted by the general, and he can be the leader of the seventh regiment. It is already a great fortune. What's the difference?"

"Don't be nervous, it's just small talk."

Chen Sheng waved his hand and said in a soft voice, "Don't you want to say anything about the generals but not the generals, since I will appoint you as the head of the Seventh Regiment, you should know that you are no different from Jibu and the others in my heart. It is precisely because you are no different from them that I did not give you any special treatment. The more special I treat you, the more inferior brothers will think that you are different from them. In this way, how can you still command the army? Fight side by side with allies?"

This is of course a big reason.

But the most important thing is that he is too busy, so busy that he has forgotten about this...

When Chen Ying heard this, he suddenly realized that he had mixed feelings for a while, and didn't know what to say: "The general has good intentions, the last general, the last general... ashamed!"

Chen Sheng smiled and patted him on the shoulder sideways: "Okay, you and I should be as close as a family. It would be too outlandish to say anything about being ashamed or not."

When Chen Ying heard the words, a slight smile finally appeared on his sad face, and his heart was filled with warmth, and there was a feeling of "the king treats me with a state scholar, and I will repay it with a state scholar"!
The means to win over people's hearts are of course important, but the most important thing is the asymmetry between identity and achievement!
"What do you think of my, Chen Jun and the court tearing our face apart?"

Chen Sheng carried the lantern and asked while walking.

Chen Ying replied without thinking: "The general loves the people like a son, and he cherishes the world. The last general is only the general's head!"

Chen Sheng shook his head slightly: "I naturally know that you will definitely be on my side, what I am asking is, how do you view this matter, after all, you were the magistrate of Yangzhou, your views and the eyes of your brothers should have The only difference is... The brothers are holding me too much, and they have nothing to say about what I say, and if things go on like this, it will be a disaster rather than a blessing!"

Chen Ying understood, and after pondering for a moment, he asked in a low voice, "General, you know, why did the last commander feed himself from the thief in the first place?"

Chen Sheng thought for a moment and replied, "I seem to have heard that you and Tu Sui were best friends in the early years!"

"That's true!"

Chen Ying nodded honestly and admitted the matter: "In the early years of the thief, he was also a hero of chivalry and righteousness. In Donghai County, he fought for an old woman and killed a family in anger, and he took the risk in the end when he respected his chivalry. Help, fellowship with him!"

"However, the last general has also read the book of sages and sages and knows what it means to be a 'master and teacher of heaven and earth'. If it is only for the friendship of the thief, the last general will definitely not give up his family and work, and lead his hometown's children and soldiers to do such a treacherous act!"

"It's true... If you don't, there's no way to live!"

Chen Sheng frowned and said solemnly: "I remember, you were originally a county magistrate, why did you come to this?"

"The general also knows that the last general was originally a county magistrate?"

Chen Ying laughed at himself and said in a low voice, "But this county magistrate is not as good as... humility!"

He seemed to think of some unpleasant memory, and he couldn't help but swear, his eyebrows were full of anger!

"Collecting grain, making people's husbands, and paying taxes at the age of one year, the people are miserable, and they have abandoned their families and abandoned their fathers and fled into the mountains and forests to become hairy people!"

"I wanted to protect Sangzi, but I was defeated by the county magistrate, so I had no choice but to act like a tiger. Every day I led my soldiers to walk in the county and city, robbing women and children of life-saving rations, and arresting the only man in the good family..."

"The carriages are loaded with money and food, and they are transported to the county government in groups. After the 'adults' in the county have scraped off a layer, only two or three of the ten will be sent to Luoyi. Go back and add more money and more!"

"It seems that in the eyes of those 'adults', this world is like fish and meat on their plate, and there are no taboos!"

"The last commander of the county, sitting on top of the county government, is like being in a pot!"

"Everyone in the county sees me as an enemy bandit, and everyone wants to take my head off and hurry up!"

"If you don't oppose it, if you don't oppose it, you can only continue to be the minions of the imperial court, force most of the people in the county to death, and then wait until the people in the county come to take my head!"

"It's a pity that the end general doesn't know who he is, and he couldn't recognize the true character of the thief..."

"Chen County, where the Admiral is governed, the last admiral has not seen enough of May!"

"Officials are clear-headed and single-minded, the common people have their place and their jobs, and everyone has hope... I think the three emperors rule the world, and that's all it takes, right?"

Chen Ying crackled like a memory.

It seems that at the end of the day, it was not clear what his views on Chen Sheng's campaign against Zhou were.

But Chen Sheng had already understood what he meant.

To be honest, he was actually quite shocked!

Although he had heard similar remarks in Xiang Liang's mouth.

However, Chen County before the drought was actually quite good in his senses. Although the life of the common people was a little bitter, it was not at the point where they could not survive.

Until now, he heard Chen Ying, the former magistrate of Donghai County, appear.

Chen Shengcai suddenly realized that Chen County is a county town, and there are still so many aristocratic families in the county. No matter how mad Xiong Wan is, he will not be so stupid as to be tyrannical in his own eyes... The rabbits don't even eat their nests. Edge grass!

"What do you mean, I, Chen Jun and the imperial court, are torn apart, right?"

Chen Sheng thought and asked in a low voice.

Chen Ying glanced at him and said in a low voice: "If the general must ask the last general's opinion, then the general can only say that the only thing that the general did not do well is that the voice is too low!"

"The prince and general Xiangning is kind!"

"What an earth-shattering statement!"

"How can you let the people of Chen County enjoy it alone?"

"It's time for thousands of people in Kyushu to listen to it!"

Chen Sheng smiled, noncommittal.

The confidence in my heart was a little more powerful.

timely.

A messenger quickly walked in front of Chen Sheng, clasped his fists and said, "Report to the general, the scout is urgent!"

Chen Sheng's heart moved, he patted Chen Ying's shoulder sideways, and said with a chuckle: "Get ready, there will be a battle soon!"

Chen Ying clasped his fists and bowed: "Respectfully send the general!"

Chen Sheng nodded and walked quickly to the Shuaishang.

Soon.

Chen Sheng stepped into the commanding tent, and Zhou Xing, who was in charge of the special warfare bureau, had already been waiting in the commanding tent: "Da...I report to the general, the special warfare bureau reports that [-] Yuzhou soldiers have landed in Yancheng, abandoning the ship and changing to the land. , went straight to Xuchang, and is expected to arrive in Xuchang in three days!"

Chen Shengxing took his seat at the top of the handsome tent, and asked unhurriedly, "Are you Fourth Uncle Chen and the others seated?"

Zhou Xing raised his head, glanced outside the tent, lowered his voice and replied, "Brother, Fourth Uncle Chen and the others have arrived at the reserved location at noon today!"

"Um……"

Chen Sheng pondered for a moment and asked, "What about the terrain survey?"

Zhou Xing hurriedly took out a folded silk cloth from his arms, unfolded it and signaled to Chen Sheng: "Brother, this place is called Xiao Yin River, next to Linying, it is the place where soldiers from Yuzhou Prefecture must cross the river when heading north, and the surrounding area is full of The mountains and mountains are high, and our department hides in them, so as not to be discovered."

"Half-crossing and hitting?"

Chen Sheng took the silk in his hand and checked it carefully, "Are there any other alternative ambush locations?"

……

Two days later, Yangzhai City, the county governor.

Xu Mu, the county governor of Yingchuan County, was sitting high on the county governor's ya, his old body was wrapped in a brightly colored slender brocade robe, and he was playing with a jade Ruyi in his hand.

The officials of the yaxia are divided into civil and military, left and right, just like the emperor is approaching the dynasty!
"Have you ever found any trace of Chen Jun's rebellion?"

Xu Mu said slowly with a face that was neither happy nor sad.

The county lieutenant in red armor came out, pinched his palms and bowed to the end: "Your Majesty Qi, the ministers have sent a message to all the good families in the county, and sent private soldiers and servants to vigorously search for the whereabouts of the rebel army in Chen County, presumably there will be soon. Reply!"

"In other words... haven't you searched for the whereabouts of Chen Jun's rebel army?"

Xu Mu asked without any fluctuations in his voice.

The burly Junwei trembled secretly and replied in a low voice, "Sir Huijun, never."

"Snapped!"

Yu Ruyi exploded in front of Junwei's forehead, smashed into pieces, and scattered on the ground.

The burly county captain swayed a bit, his waist stooped lower, and the blood rolled down his forehead like a broken bead curtain, and he didn't dare to reach out to wipe it!

Xu Mu stretched out his hand expressionlessly, and the audience who was standing beside him immediately sent a jade Ruyi handle to his palm again.

"According to what you mean, I just watched the rebels of Chen County torturing the people in the county and looting the homes of good people in the county?"

Xu Mu spoke again, but the old voice still couldn't hear any joy or anger.

"My subordinate dare not!"

The county commander pouted his big buttocks high, and his burly body was trembling.

Just when Xu Mu expressionlessly raised the jade Ruyi in his hand again and was about to throw it out.

The first middle-aged scholar on the left walked out slowly, straightened his robes in an orderly manner, and then slowly pinched the hem of his palm: "Your Majesty Qi, now that the soldiers from Yuzhou Prefecture have arrived in the middle of the county, there will only be three rebels in Chen County. where to go!"

"One, go back to Chen Jun!"

"Two, ambush my Yuzhou government soldiers!"

"Third, take advantage of the fact that Yuzhou's soldiers have just entered the prefecture and attack Yangzhai!"

"According to the humble opinion of the ministers, Your Majesty doesn't need to trouble himself to find out what the rebels of Chen County are, just order Mr. Hu to guard the city and wait for the soldiers of Yuzhou Prefecture to recover the lost territory and defeat the rebel army of Chen County!"

Hearing this, the burly county lieutenant, who was still in the hall, hurriedly shouted, "Sir Fang is right!"

Facing this middle-aged scribe, Xu Mu's expression softened a lot. He played with Yu Ruyi, and after thinking for a while, he said solemnly: "Is it possible that there is no news of Chen Jun's rebellion against the army, and Zhai Chengchi in Wuyang will disappear. Will the city gates not be opened in the sun? If it spreads out, how should the people of Kyushu look at me, the Xu Clan of Yingchuan!"

The Yingchuan Xu clan, a sage named Xu You from the time of Emperor Yao, almost became a high-ranking clan of the blood of the five emperors!

The middle-aged scribe held his hand again without changing his face: "Children Chen Jun, if you have committed a rebellion, you will be rebellious, and your death is coming!"

"What kind of identity is your Majesty, how can you surrender your identity and have the general knowledge of a desperate child who is bound to die?"

"What Fang Qing said is very in line with my will, very in line with my will, hahaha!"

Xu Mu was overjoyed when he heard the words. He seemed to have seen that the lost city had been returned to his rule, and he seemed to see the head of the Chen Jun child placed in front of the case:
When His Highness and his ministers heard the words, they all waved their hands together and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Xu Mu raised his hand slightly and signaled His Highness to get up.

Then he looked at His Highness's only burly Junwei who was pouting his butt, and said in a cold tone, "Hu Qing, can you hear what Fang Qing said?"

The burly county lieutenant, who was wiping blood in secret, hurriedly said, "This minister must guard the city closely, and never give Chen Jun the slightest chance to take advantage of the rebel army. If there is a mistake, the minister will come to see you!"

　Sorting out the outline today, Calvinka is great, and the Silver League will be added, and it will be added tomorrow.
