Chapter 883 Crowd
"Shen Weizhou really responded like that? How did he come to Yucheng?"

In the camp of the rebel army in Yongqiu, when Chen Guang heard Gao Xi's return, his brows were deeply frowned, and his wrinkled face was full of solemnity.And the other people in the tent didn't look relaxed either, or they were silent, or they asked Gao Xi about the details of this trip in a low voice.

Seeing how dignified and even scrutinizing the expressions and tone of the crowd, Gao Xi felt ashamed and indignant for a moment. He went to Yucheng to seek peace this time, which can be said to have taken a lot of risk.It should be noted that right now is the time when the two armies are fighting, and the rebel army has just beheaded many Huainan soldiers. Even if the two armies did not kill them, who can guarantee that the Huainan army will abide by the rules and not let him vent their anger?

Therefore, he really risked his own life on this trip, and was humiliated by Shen Weizhou, a young man with high ambitions and no one in his eyes, in Yucheng, and in the end he had to face the doubts and reprimands of these people when he came back. humiliation.

So after patiently answering a few questions, Gao Xi's tone gradually became blunt, and he said: "Xi is a mediocre talent, and he was sent by all the princes to seek his life. People, relying on their fame and strength, do not add others with blue eyes, and humiliate them harshly. Or because they are backward and dull, if you have any doubts, you might as well send a virtuous person to see them!"

When everyone heard this, they were a little embarrassed for a while.And Chen Guang came back to his senses at this moment, noticed Gao Xi's blunt attitude, and then forced a laugh and said: "It's not the elders who don't feel sorry for Gao Lang's hard work. In fact, this matter is related to the future destination of all the families. It is inevitable." Excessive sentimentality. Gao Lang went to danger this time, no matter what the result is, everyone here must think of this benefit, and return to the camp to rest for the time being, and return to the tent to discuss matters when he has recovered enough energy."

After hearing this, Gao Xi's complexion turned slightly better, he stood up from the table and bowed to Chen Guang, and then left the camp, but ignored the others.

"It's unreasonable, this Gao Sanlang is getting more and more arrogant!"

After Gao Xi left, a middle-aged man in the banquet snorted coldly and said, as for the other people's faces, they also showed a lot of dissatisfaction, obviously they had held grudges against Gao Xi's rudeness for a long time.

"Gao Lang is young and energetic after all, and you all have to be considerate. He really took a lot of risks when he went to Yucheng this time."

Chen Guang smiled wryly and then said that although he is the lord of these people in name, in fact they are more like an alliance when they get together. Regardless of strength or prestige, Chen Guang only has a slight advantage, which is far from enough to make people Do what you say.

"Even though Mr. Chen cares about Gao Sanlang blindly, this boy may not know love. He relies on the legacy of his late father's death battle. He has always been more affectionate than others. He has many lonely and bitter complaints. He only thinks that everyone owes him a lot. This time I went to Yucheng As a result, I think it was this kid who angered Governor Shen of Huainan because of his own bad deeds. After all, his family members suffered the most from Huainan's entry this time, and this time the party may ignore the big plan and just vent their anger!"

The slightly chunky middle-aged man continued to speak, his tone full of dissatisfaction with Gao Xi, as if the grudge between the two parties was not as simple as an ordinary response to faux pas.

As soon as the person finished speaking, someone in the other side of the table said displeasedly: "Tan Jun said that, it seems a bit inhumane. Last year, Shen Mu in Huainan entered and plundered Waihuang. If it hadn't been for Gao Gong's hard work after the battle, including Tan Jun, I'm afraid it will be difficult to return calmly. Now that Gao Gong is dead, the only son left behind is San Lang, and every virtuous elder in the village has the responsibility of taking care of him, even if San Lang is wrong, he should be kind and persuasive, how can he make random guesses without examining the facts?"

Hearing this, Tan Jun, a short and fat middle-aged man, couldn't help showing a little shyness on his face, and the man turned to Chen Guang and continued: "Actually, I didn't like Chen Gong sending Saburo to beg for a truce. People, thieves who deceive the world and steal their reputation, how can they let us go willingly? The only thing we can do now is not to think about everything, it is time to strengthen our morale and fight hard to defeat the enemy!"

After Chen Guang heard the words, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. Everything is easy to say but hard to do. Then Shen Weizhou has been clamoring to take his life. If it is possible to defeat the other party, how could he have the idea of ​​asking for peace.The problem is that there is no possibility of success at all!

Although this group of people is self-centered in name, in fact they are most concerned about their own interests. A large number of tribal households are piled up in the rear of Yongqiu, and they are not sent to the front line at all.For example, Gao Xi, if it wasn't for the fact that the Huainan Army's attacking direction happened to be within the range of his family, Chen Guang would not be able to command his people to lead his troops to fight and send him out as an envoy.

They simply regarded Chen Guang as a barrier in front of them. Even if they caused chaos, they didn't think about creating any achievements at all, they just wanted to preserve their local strength as much as possible.Yang Zhao, who said that he would fight to the end, lives in Cangyuan, which is far away from the front-line battle zone. The resistance he proposed is just to hope that the various front-line sects can spend more energy on the Huainan army. If Yongqiu can't resist, It may be possible for them to surrender immediately.

In fact, Chen Guang really didn't want to fight with the Huainan army. If Shen Weizhou had accepted his surrender a few years ago, the situation would not have turned into this at all.All his efforts are just to survive. Maybe he still had a bit of ambition in his heart when he betrayed his ancestors in the early years and led the Jiehu army to attack Shouchun, but now he is already over fifty, and any ambitions have long since faded away. Exhausted.

But Shen Weizhou had just defeated Shi Hu at that time, and he was so arrogant that he didn't let him survive at all, so what could he do?You can't leave behind the cronies who have followed you for many years and wait for death.Afterwards, Shen Weizhou also paid the price for his arrogance, forcing Yuzhou Xiangzong to flee north in groups.Naturally, Chen Guang was happy to accept these people. Only when there are many people can they survive.

However, after these people arrived, Chen Guang's own strength did not increase greatly, but made Chen Liu's situation more complicated.Some of these people in the tent are not inferior to Chen Guang in terms of strength. The reason why Chen Guang is still the main one is that they dare not make too much publicity to attract the attention of the Huainan Army.Otherwise, the master of Chenliu has been changed several times.

Chen Guang is also free to plan this time to ask for peace and surrender.If he succeeds, he can gain a little respite, take advantage of the opportunity in Huainan, and clear out those who are too arrogant among his subordinates, and use the lives of these people to test whether the Huainan army has the sincerity of accepting surrender.If you can't succeed, then let go of these people's flukes and make up your mind to fight to the end with yourself.

Now it seems that Shen Weizhou is as arrogant as ever, and has not restrained and softened at all because of the previous small setback.

Disappointed, Chen Guang also felt that this was an opportunity to integrate forces, so after a pause in everyone's discussion, he said: "I originally intended to make peace, but I was only out of pity for the lives of the local people, and I really didn't want to drive my children to fight to the death. But now it seems that Shen Weizhou, a southern maniac, a power-hungry thief, is arrogant and rampant, vowing to drive me and other poor villagers into a dead end, leaving no room for it."

"Since this is the case, there is really no need to think about it by chance. The current situation is that you will die without a fight, and you have all seen it with your own eyes. Although the people in Huainan are known as a strong army, the previous battle shows that we and the villagers are by no means There is no power to fight. For example, the defeat at the Longhuai River in Shiji in previous years was not a big one, but the defeat was due to recklessness and the danger of the land. If we want to survive, we will never forget this lesson."

"Tens of thousands of people from Huainan came to invade. In the past ten days, they even connected dozens of walls in Keyu. However, they were trapped in the dangerous land in Yongqiu and had to temporarily lead the army. Now that we are in danger, I hope you don't go any further. If you want to get out, you can only fight for a chance if you work together and gather people in the closed area. Later, I will order people to rectify the camp in Yongqiu. All of you who live far away should return to Yongqiu as soon as possible. If you stay outside, you are afraid that you will be killed by the crowd in Huainan."

When everyone heard what Chen Guang said, their expressions became subtle.Some of them were forced to retreat to Yongqiu, but Yang Zhao, who lived far away in Cangyuan, felt a little conflicted in his heart. Now that Yongqiu is the base camp of the rebel army, although the place is a little dangerous, it must be It is the focus of the Huainan army's siege.It is still midsummer and the water season can last for a while. If the Huainan army persists until the water runs out after autumn, Yongqiu will be in danger.

Moreover, he was also worried that if the tribes were placed in Yongqiu, they might be swallowed up and annexed by Chen Guang, and he would have little room to fight back.However, seeing that everyone, including Chen Guang, was looking at him, and he was the one who advocated resistance before, it would be unreasonable if he couldn't express it.

"Chen Gong is righteous and willing to share the danger of Yongqiu with everyone, and what he said is true. It's just that my people are far away from Cangyuan. Transfer in batches. There is another difficulty, Mr. Chen, please be considerate, that is, the villagers will leave the country, and the homeland will be abandoned. It is inevitable that there will be no food. I also hope that Mr. Chen can help a little bit, so that our villagers will not be hungry. way."

When Chen Guang heard this, he couldn't help cursing the old thief in his heart. Before he sent people to help the battle, he asked for money first!Although he was extremely angry in his heart, he still wanted to keep calm, and said with a smile: "This is what should be done. We and the villagers gathered here to help each other survive. I don’t see it, it’s so different from Huainan’s violent death. Although Yongqiu’s food reserves are also lacking, I believe that everyone can agree with this thought and save a little for the use of Lord Yang.”

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused a lot of discussion among the people.Now many families have moved into Yongqiu, and they all rely on the rations to live, and no one wants to spread themselves to support others, so naturally it is a lot of disputes and bargaining.

Everyone argued like this, and it was getting late and there was still no conclusion.When Chen Guang was restless, suddenly a group of soldiers outside the tent came to report that Chen Liu's old city had suddenly launched an attack on the enemy.

After hearing this, everyone's heart was terrified, and they all shut their mouths and looked at Chen Guang.It is true that they are enthusiastic in fighting for profits, but they have to admire Chen Guang's ability in combat.

"Order all the battalions to put on their armor and prepare for battle, and then find out how many soldiers are in Huainan and where they are attacking. Hurry up and go!"

Chen Guang jumped up from the banquet, and his own soldiers put armors on them, and then he ordered a few brave generals who were present, and then went out of the tent.At this time, the night is getting darker, and the distant place in the north of Yongqiu is already full of flames!
