Rebirth of the Three Kingdoms: Da Qiao doesn't want to be a widow anymore

Chapter 76 Chen Su
The news of Chen Deng's death soon spread to Shangcai and Xiapi, and Li Tong was so shocked that he almost fell off his horse.

He quickly ran back to the meeting tent, looked at the map hanging on it, and couldn't help but sighed, seeing that most of Cao Jun's defense lines against the Jiangdong Army had collapsed, and if reinforcements never came, Shangcai's less than a thousand soldiers would not be able to Resist the Jiangdong Army and move on.

Man Chong has gone out of the city to ask Yilang Cao Ren for reinforcements. Cao Ren is stationed in the Yingchuan area and is the nearest reinforcement.

Now people in the counties around Xuchang are in turmoil, thinking that Cao Jun is in a hurry to cross the border, and officials and people often defect, and the successive losses of Runan and other places make the officials of the Han court in Xuchang more uneasy.

Li Tong only felt that the pressure was very heavy, and after Sun Quan captured Guangling, Jiangdong's army was unstoppable.

On the other side of Sheyang County, Chen Su, the son of General Fubo, received the sad news of his father Chen Deng. He was so sad that he fainted on the couch several times.

But Zhao Cheng, the county lieutenant beside him, persuaded, "Isn't it time for you to cry bitterly now, the general's wife and sister-in-law are still in Guangling City, the Jiangdong Army has always been ruthless.

If the young master doesn't lead the troops to take back Guangling immediately, I'm afraid the general's wife and wife's innocence will not be guaranteed, and the wife's wife still has the son's blood in her belly, so how can she be insulted? "

When Chen Su heard the words, the hatred in his heart increased greatly, "A man in the world protects the imperial court and protects his family. The sun thief dares to bully my Chen family like this."

In fact, Sun Quan did not make any arrangements for the female family members of the Chen family, but confined them all in one place, and Qiao Wei made the arrangements.

In fact, Qiao Wei didn't really have the heart to reward these female relatives as items to his subordinates, so he asked the female relatives what he thought.

Those who want to remarry can remarry, and those who don't want to don't force it.

However, most of the female relatives who were suffocated had men who died in battle, and some of them brought their children and did not have much means of earning a living. For them, remarriage was the way to survive in this troubled world.

Qiao Wei asked Zhou Gu to take away the female family members who were willing to remarry. Only a few female family members were unwilling to remarry, so Qiao Wei had to be sent out of the military camp and sent back home.

Only one young woman surnamed Qian neither wanted to remarry nor to leave the barracks.

Qiao Wei felt strange, "Then what do you want?"

"I want to take away my father-in-law's body."

"Who?"

"General Fubo, Chen Deng, prefect of Guangling." Qian reported himself.

Qiao Wei didn't know who she was talking about at the beginning, but no matter who it was, the body had already been burned up. If Qian had to ask for it, he would probably have to grab a handful of broken bones or ashes that hadn't been completely burnt. up.

When Qian heard that the corpses had been burned, she bit her lower lip, her eyes flushed, "Bruise your bones and ashes, how dare you grandsons do this!"

Qiao Wei expressed her understanding of her emotions. After all, for the ancients, even after death, the whole body must be kept to preserve the last bit of decency and dignity.

For Qian Shi, Chen Deng is a family member, but for Qiao Wei, Chen Deng is an enemy, and she doesn't need to show any affection for her enemy.

Because there is never a win-win situation for both sides on the battlefield, only life-and-death fights and life-and-death struggles.

Qiao Wei looked at her swollen belly, and there was a bit of pity in her heart, but now she only had a cold tone, "If the Guangling Army won today, can you still keep it for the soldiers of our Jiangdong Army?" A posthumous dignity?"

Qiao Wei has personally seen the soldiers after the war. In order to compete for military merits, they would cut off their right ears, noses or scalps from the corpses of enemy soldiers without hesitation.

If burning their corpses is unwilling to preserve their dignity after death, then those acts of cutting off limbs from the corpses also did not preserve the whole corpses for them, which is righteous?
Qian could not help but choke.

Qiao Wei asked You Ye to inform Sun Quan of Qian's identity to see how it could be arranged, and soon You Ye came back with Sun Quan's answer, "Young Master said, if Qian Shi doesn't want to remarry, he will just join the Jun Ji camp. "

How could Mrs. Qian be willing to hear this answer!

She didn't even want to remarry, so how could she not join the Ji camp and become a woman that the soldiers could call at will.

She suddenly rushed towards Qiao Wei, Qiao Wei turned over and avoided her impact, and You Ye immediately controlled her with a backhand.

Mrs. Qian was still shouting, "My husband will come to avenge us soon, and your grandson thieves will not end well. You are vain and inhumane."

She spat hard at Qiao Wei.

Qiao Wei just looked at her indifferently, "In this era, everyone has their own unavoidable consequences. On the battlefield, no one has the so-called justice."

As long as there is a war together, no one dares to say that he is on the side of absolute justice, and the so-called justice is also mixed with his own selfish desires and interests.

Otherwise, the military strategists would not have to play the trick of "being famous for their teachers", and Cao Cao would not have to always hold the banner of "holding the emperor to make him not a minister", even if there are many inconveniences, he would not let go.

In the face of war, everyone wants to survive. Only those who survive are qualified to write the history books of the victors and speak the name of "justice".

As for whether there will be a good end, Qiao Wei can't think of the future, but just thinks about the present, she told Sun Quan what Qian said, "I also asked Bian Hong, it was Chen Deng's general, and now he is Ji Bi's general." He said that Chen Deng had a son named Chen Su, half a month ago Chen Deng sent him to Sheyang to inspect the granary on his behalf."

If Qian's words are confirmed here, as long as Chen Su learns the news of Guangling's fall, he will definitely raise his troops to attack immediately.

While the two were talking, they heard Gan Ning sprinting all the way to report, "General, the sentry has detected the northeast direction, and there is an army approaching. The banner above is the word 'Chen'."

Qiao Wei and Sun Quan immediately understood that it should be Chen Su.

"How many soldiers and horses?"

"About a thousand." Gan Ning replied quickly, "There are still about [-] steps away from our side, and there are about [-] Qing cavalry, followed by archers and infantry."

Heavy cavalry usually wear certain armor for horses, while light cavalry do not, and the armor they use is lighter, and their main focus is on mobility.

It had only been five days since Sun Quan entered the city, and all kinds of equipment on the city wall hadn't been fully equipped yet, and Chen Su must have the best understanding of the situation in the city. Stand firm in the city.

Qiao Wei followed Sun Quan up the city wall, and sure enough, the Qingqi approached a hundred steps away from the city wall, with the bow and arrow in his hand and... Qiao Wei looked at something that looked like a small wine jar, and the rushing chariot behind him followed closely.

Sun Quan immediately beat the drums, and Zhou Tai was ordered to quickly organize a crossbow team to go up the city wall.

Guangling County belongs to Xuzhou, and Guangling City is not a county. According to the etiquette requirements of the Han Dynasty, the height of the city wall cannot exceed five meters. According to modern calculations, it is the height of a two-story building.

The light cavalry easily threw the jar on the city wall. The jar fell to the ground and exploded quickly, causing sparks to fly all over the city wall.

Qiao Wei exclaimed, "It's wine and fire!"
