Back to Daqin to be Emperor

Chapter 406
That night, Wu Guang and two or three of his cronies sneaked out of the camp and came to a dilapidated temple not far from the camp.

Several people were wandering in the forest with lanterns each, pretending to be foxes and shouting incessantly. In the camp, a guard on duty saw such a situation, trembling in shock, laying down on the ground and not daring to move.

"Fox Fairy is above, the villain has eyes but no pearls, and offends the adults..." Several people immediately knelt on the ground and bowed.

It's just that when he looked up again, everything had returned to normal, and he was nowhere to be seen, as if nothing had happened.

This scene made everyone panic even more.

In this era, people who can read and write are very rare. Besides, not to mention people who can read and write, even the top scholars in the world are steadfast in the theory of ghosts and gods.

Not to mention these garrison civilians who don't even know a few words.Therefore, looking at such a scene, no one would carefully distinguish the truth from the false, so naturally they firmly believe in the things in front of them.

Besides, no one believes that there are people in this world who dare to pretend to be gods. Aren't they afraid that God will be angry and punish them?Such a simple and simple concept is deeply implanted in everyone's mind.

Seeing that the situation has gradually returned to normal, everyone couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, one of them asked in surprise: "It was the fox fairy offering the spirit just now?"

At this time, a person with a little understanding of the situation said: "Do you know?"

Immediately, everyone looked at that person one after another, and involuntarily leaned towards him, with solemn faces, all quietly waiting for the next step.

The man sorted out his words a bit, and said: "I heard that there is a mountain about 150 miles south of Daze Township, called Tu Mountain, and there is a fox fairy living there."

"Really?" One person could not help but make a sound of surprise.

Someone raised a question, but that person was not annoyed, but continued: "Have you all heard of Dayu?"

Everyone laughed and said: "Who doesn't know this, who doesn't know?"

The man smiled and said: "It is said that when Dayu came to Tushan to control the flood, he heard a young woman singing in the mountain, saying: Suisui white fox, nine-tailed puffy, born in the family, I am Bichang .”

Everyone was a little confused, so although they guessed a little bit of meaning from the literary lyrics, they still didn't understand.

The man explained: "The meaning of the lyrics is that the white fox with its nine tails is looking for a spouse. If anyone marries Tu Shan's daughter, his family will prosper."

"Later, this Dayu married a woman from the Tu Shan clan, named Nvjiao."

Everyone suddenly realized that there was such an allusion here.Everyone looked at each other and said: "So, there really is a fox fairy?"

"Is that still false?" No one doubted such a fact anymore.

This is, out of nowhere, a person asked: "I seem to have heard that fox fairy said something just now, did you hear anything?"

"No..." Many people shook their heads.

At this time, a person said: "I heard, I heard that fox fairy seemed to say something, "Da Chuxing, King Chen Sheng. "Do you know what that means?"

Quite a few people showed puzzled faces, there were more than 900 people, and Chen Sheng was just one of the village chiefs, so naturally not many people would know them.

At this time, a man showed a thoughtful look, took out a piece of cloth from his bosom, and said: "To buy fish in the kitchen today, this cloth is hidden in the belly of the fish. There are still writings on the cloth. I asked someone about it. What is written on it is "Chen Shengwang", is there any connection between this?"

The people on the side hurriedly took the cloth, and looked at it with the light of the bonfire. Among them, someone who could read said, "That's right, it says "Chen Shengwang" on this cloth."

Surprise and reverence appeared on everyone's faces, and at this time, another person stood up and said: "I know a person, his name is Chen Sheng, and he is also in the garrison team sent to Yuyang this time. Master Ming, could it be that he was talking about?"

"Is that person really called Chen Sheng?" Everyone had expressions of surprise and uncertainty on their faces.

The person who spoke nodded heavily, and said, "Could it be that God intended him to be king?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and they couldn't help feeling a great curiosity and respect for Chen Sheng in their hearts.

The next day, Chen Sheng was walking in the residence with his head held high, and suddenly he felt that there were many more eyes on him, and some people even whispered in private, discussing something.

For this situation, Chen Sheng was well aware of it, but he didn't point it out. He returned to the tent after a long while, and he already knew that the preparations he had made before had taken effect.

At this time, Wu Guang walked in and seeing no one around, he immediately felt relieved and said, "Brother Chen, most of the soldiers in this battalion already know about this."

Chen Sheng nodded, and Wu Guang said again: "But it's not likely that these soldiers will obey our orders. If there is a dead end, they have to go with us."

Chen Sheng said with a smile: "It's okay. We can tell them that they will be killed if they miss the schedule. Now that it is raining continuously, it is impossible to arrive in Yuyang on time. These soldiers will follow us."

"Wonderful!" Wu Guang couldn't help but praise in his heart.

When Chen Sheng mentioned this, he was not afraid that those guards would expose it. After all, they didn't even know the words, so it was not easy to fool them?

It was Wu Guang who frowned slightly and said, "It's just those generals, how should we deal with them?"

This was the last obstacle to prevent them from raising their voices. Only when these generals were removed, would they be truly free of shackles, and those guards would follow him.

Chen Sheng thought for a while and said, "Aren't you familiar with those generals?"

"You may wish to invite them to drink tonight. After they are drunk, you deliberately provoke them. At that time, they will definitely punish you. At this time, the soldiers must be angry. At that time, we will raise our arms, and the soldiers will definitely be angry." Take orders from us."

Wu Guang's eyes lit up, although Chen Sheng's strategy was not shrewd and not very subtle, but it was enough for it to be used here.

I can only say a few words for those soldiers, so I don't worry about making these generals angry.As a village chief, Wu Guang clearly knew the thoughts of these generals and those of the soldiers, and he naturally understood where the contradictions between the two were.

For example, this time, when it rained heavily, all the soldiers were worried that they would miss their duty, and they left their homes, and all of them wanted to flee, and this was precisely what the generals tabooed the most.

The number of people who fled is only a few, which is okay, as long as most of them can be sent to Yuyang, the general will not be punished, but if the number of fugitives increases, the general will be miserable.
