Chapter 219: Entering the Palace

Lin Nan won the first battle, while Yu Wensu first led the boat division from Badong County to the Three Gorges in the east to launch an offensive operation in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in accordance with the operational deployment of Sui to destroy Chen. {Gold} When the army arrived at Liutou Beach, Chen General Qi Xin led more than 100 Qinglong warships and thousands of soldiers to hold the Wolf Tail Beach in front of them to contain the Sui army. The terrain of the Wolf Tail Beach is steep, the water is turbulent, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and all the generals are difficult. However, Yu Wensu thinks: "The plan of victory and defeat, in this move, if you get off the boat during the day, he will see me, the beach is rapid, and if you can't control it, then I will lose my convenience." Therefore, it was decided to adopt the policy of coordinating water and land, dividing the attack and attacking together, and raiding at night.

Yu Wensu led thousands of Yellow Dragon warships, taking advantage of the dark night, to order the rank of soldier to advance and implement a frontal breakthrough; ordered Kaifu Yi and the three divisions of Wang Chang to lead the infantry to attack Qi Xin from the south bank of the Yangtze River; The general Liu Renen led the cavalry from Jiangling to the west and attacked the Baisha point of the Chen army along the north bank of the Yangtze River. The Sui army cooperated by land and water, and at dawn the next day, they defeated Qi Ting's troops in one fell swoop. Qi Ting fled, and all his subordinates were captured. Yu Wensu did not kill or humiliate the captives, and all of them were released after consolation. Autumn did not commit any crimes, and Chen Daren was happy. In this battle, Yu Wensu appropriately chose the opportunity to attack, and used the surprise attack of the naval army and the coordinated attack of the infantry and cavalry on both sides of the strait, and won the first battle quickly, creating favorable conditions for the development of the war to destroy Chen. The implementation of the policy of preferential treatment of prisoners is also conducive to winning over more officers and men of the Chen army.

Here Lin Nan led the army to continue down the river to the east, Lin Nan stood on the Wuyalou boat, his appearance was majestic, Chen Ren looked at it and said: "King Wu is the dragon king!" "Chen Jingzhou assassin Shi Chen Huiji sent Nankang Neishi Lu Zhongsu to lead the army to guard the Qi Pavilion, dig holes in the rocks on both banks, and tie three iron cables to cross the river. Stop the Sui warships. In order to hold the mouth of the gorge, LΓΌ Zhongsu donated all his private property to the army, so Chen's army had a high fighting spirit and a tight defense.

On the twenty-fourth day of the first month of the seventeenth year of the Great Cause, Lin Nan divided his troops and cooperated with the Yuwen Su army to storm the fence barracks on the shore of the Chen army, and Lu Zhongsu led the army to resist according to the danger, and fought fiercely more than 40 times, and the Sui army suffered heavy casualties, with more than 20,000 dead and wounded. Chen Jun cut off the nose of the deceased to ask for merit. aroused the anger of the Sui army, Lin Nan was a corporal, fought to the death, and won many times. The captured soldiers of the Chen army, Lin Nan, were all released to calm his heart. Under the fierce attack of the Sui army, LΓΌ Zhongsu was forced to abandon the camp fence and fled overnight. Lin Nan ordered the soldiers to destroy the iron cable of the Lanjiang River and continue down the river.

LΓΌ Zhongsu retreated to Yanzhou in Jingmen. Relying on the dangerous terrain of Jingmen Mountain, the Sui army was once again stopped. Lin Nan sent more than 1,000 Bayan soldiers who were good at boating. took two "Wuya" warships, smashed more than 10 Chen warships with a slap rod on the ship, captured more than 2,000 people, and once again broke Lu Zhongsu's army, and Lu Zhongsu fled alone. Chen Xinzhou, who was stationed in Anshu City on the south bank of the Yangtze River, assassinated Shi Gu Jue, and also abandoned the city and fled. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Chen Huiji, who was guarding the public security, burned his savings, led 30,000 troops and more than 1,000 warships, and retreated eastward. tried to enter the aid of Jiankang, but was blocked by Shi Wenqing and his army west of Hankou.

Chen Xiangzhou assassinated the history, Yueyang King Chen Shushen led 5,000 men and horses to surrender to Lin Nan, Lin Nan treated him well, and the city he entered, all the autumn did not commit any crimes, and everyone in Chen Min thought of Lin Nan's goodness. In the Jinbang novel, Chen Jun also thought more about rebellion. In this battle, Lin Nan and Yuwen used the cooperation of the naval army and infantry to first break the stronghold of the Chen army on the riverbank, and then use the naval warships to engage in the battle. Destroy the enemy. The Sui large-scale building ship "Five Teeth" and heavy slapping rod equipment showed their might in battle. The preferential prisoner policy played a positive role in disintegrating Chen's army and cooperating with the military offensive. At this point, the upper reaches of the Yangtze River were controlled by the Sui army, which prevented the eastward aid of the Chen army in the upper reaches and ensured the river-crossing operation of the main forces in the lower reaches.

In February of the seventeenth year of the Great Cause, Lin Nan's 200,000 troops approached Jiankang, and at this time, Lord Chen knew that the matter was urgent, and urgently transferred Xiao Maha and Lu Guangda to lead 50,000 troops to Zhongshan to resist the Sui army. However, at this time, the Sui army was already unstoppable, and the Chen soldiers had no fighting spirit, as soon as the two fought, the Chen army turned against each other, although Xiao Maha and Lu Guangda led the army to fight to the death, but they were outnumbered, and all died in the chaos, and 40,000 of the 50,000 Chen troops surrendered.

Lin Nan didn't give Lord Chen a chance to breathe, the army smashed Chen Du Jiankang, Lord Chen hurriedly ordered Shen Keqing to lead 20,000 troops out of the city to meet the enemy, that Shen Keqing was a useless scholar, when he went out of the city, he saw the Sui army's soldiers and horses majestic, the flag was facing the wind, and his legs were weak when he was scared, Lin Nan couldn't help but sneer: "Did Chen Shubao send you such a waste to die?" ”

As soon as Shen Keqing heard the word death, he hurriedly jumped off the horse and fell to the ground, and shouted urgently in the air: "I am willing to surrender, I am willing to surrender, His Royal Highness King Wu will not harm my life." When the 20,000 Chen soldiers saw that the main general was already like this, they simply threw their weapons away, and all of them knelt down and asked to surrender like a tide. Lin Nan's heart was itching, and he instructed Gao Dehong: "Bring 3,000 men and horses into the city with me, and the rest of the generals will not be spared if they dare to enter the city without permission!" He deliberately didn't take anyone else, because he was afraid that someone would kill the beauty of Chen Gong by mistake.

Chen Shubao was still sitting in the hall in a daze, waiting for Shen Keqing to come to report the victory, and a eunuch here hurriedly ran in, and shouted in a scream: "Your Majesty is not good, the Sui army has entered the city, and now it has surrounded the inside and outside of the palace." "Huh?" Chen Shubao hurriedly jumped off the throne in fright, and Dong Xian grabbed him and said: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, who dares to do harm!" At this time, Chen Shubao was not stupid, and pushed Dong Xian away and said: "No matter how angry you are, you can't stand the sword." After speaking, he hurried into the harem, found Zhang Guifei and Kong Guifei, and said: "The Sui soldiers have come, we must find a place to hide, don't get separated!" ”

The three of them ran away and couldn't find a place to hide, until they ran to a well in front of Jingyang Palace, only to hear the sound of the army, Chen Shubao sighed and said: "That's it, we can't run anyway, it's better to die in the same place, and be husband and wife in the underworld." After speaking, he pulled the two girls into the well, who knew that the water in the well was dry and full of sludge, but the three of them were safe and sound after jumping down. Lord Chen looked up at the wellhead and sighed, "Even if you dodge, you will be trapped here." When the two concubines heard this, they also began to cry.

The three of them hid for a short time, only to hear the noise of people, it turned out that it was Lin Nan who brought the Sui army into the palace, and Lin Nan ordered the women to stay with the men to kill, so as long as the Sui army saw the male eunuch, he cut it with a knife, and when he saw the palace concubine, he captured and detained him, and Lin Nan took Gao Dehong all the way to find it, but he didn't see a person wearing a dragon robe. {Gold} At this time, Gao Dehong's soldiers grabbed a eunuch and said, "Marshal, this person claims to know the whereabouts of Lord Chen. "Oh?" Lin Nan grabbed him and asked, "Say it there!" The eunuch was only frightened, and said hesitantly: "Just now I saw the emperor pulling the second concubine Kong Gui to Jingyang Palace. There was a deep well, and the three of them were afraid that they had thrown themselves into the well. "Zhilu said, pull it and cut it!" Lin Nan put aside the eunuch and took Gao Dehong to Jingyang Palace, in fact, when he read the history books, he knew that Lord Chen threw himself into the well, but he didn't know where the well was.

Finally found the front of Jingyang Palace, Gao Dehong was busy lying at the mouth of the well and looked down, only to see that the well was dark and bottomless, so he sighed at Lin Nan and said, "Your Highness." Pity the two beauties, it looks like they're going to fall into a pulp. ”

Lin Nan smiled, walked over and looked at the well, and suddenly shouted, "Your Majesty is okay?" Chen Shubao in the well was not stupid, he knew that this was a temptation of the Sui army, and kept his mouth shut. But the two concubines next to him didn't want to die, and one of them shouted: "Your Majesty is here, quickly pull us up." The two of them listened to Ha Lu Ha Da Lang's laughter, and Gao Dehong hugged his fists and said, "Your Highness's beauty is still there." Lin Nan hurriedly instructed his subordinates: "Find two thick ropes to pull the people down the well up." "Yes!" Several Sui soldiers were ordered to go.

After a while, several people looked for three heels of hemp rope. Together, it was the thickness of a wrist, and Lin Nan smiled at the well: "Your Majesty." We're here to pull you up. ”

When the rope arrived at the well, Chen Shubao knew that he couldn't escape anyway, so he could only pull the rope, and the two concubines here were also tightened, and the three of them hugged each other, all afraid of accidentally falling. The three soldiers pulled a little, and felt that the people below were holding on, so they exerted their strength. But I didn't expect that the person under the rope was very heavy, and he didn't pull it. One of the soldiers whispered, "It's an emperor after all." Bones are heavy. The other laughed and said, "I'm afraid I'm a fool, with a lot of fat." When Lin Nan heard this, he called in four or five more soldiers, and everyone pulled the three of Master Chen up, and while pulling back, they heard Lord Chen shouting under the well: "You must tighten up, I have a reward." This only caused everyone to laugh.

When the three of them came out of the well, the soldiers who were dragging them understood why it was so heavy. That Chen Shubao's face was full of mud, and he even waved his hand at Lin Nan and said, "Shubao has seen the general." "When have I seen you!" Lin Nan kicked Lord Chen aside, stepped forward and pulled up Zhang Lihua and another unknown Concubine Kong, only to see that the two of them were covered in mud. But the face and body are really charming.

Gao Dehong suddenly walked over and said to Lin Nan: "Your Highness, I sent someone to call a few palace maids to bathe and change clothes for these two concubines, let's go over there first, it is said that Mr. Wang has captured more than 400 beauties of the Chen Palace, all of whom are stunning." ”

As soon as Lin Nan heard this, he looked at Gao Dehong's treacherous expression, and then patted him on the shoulder twice and said with a smile: "General Gao has worked hard and made great achievements, and this time Pingchen has made a lot of contributions, I will definitely ask the Holy Lord to reward him." When Gao Dehong heard this, his eyes rolled, and he hurriedly bowed: "Mo Jiang Dan was sent by His Royal Highness, what credit can be said, I am only willing to lead a horse for His Highness in my life, and my wish is enough." "Good boy, it's comfortable to pat yourself on the back, and you'll get into trouble, and it's really a villain." Lin Nan thought of this, pulled him up and said, "General Gao is too modest, why don't we go over and have a look now?" Gao Dehong raised his eyes and smiled when he heard this: "Your Highness, please." ”

Lin Nan followed him all the way, only to see that the corpses of eunuchs and the forbidden army of Chen Palace were all over the ground, most of them were in different places, blood flowed all over the ground, and the death was extremely terrifying. Some Sui Jun pulled the palace maids to see Lin Nan and hurriedly saluted, but Lin Nan only thanked and ignored it. It wasn't until the two of them turned to the back garden and passed through a corridor more than 100 meters long that they saw a two-story quadrangular building in front of them looking very conspicuous. The big red plaque on the top of the building has three golden characters written on it: Yonghe Palace.

"Your Highness." The two walked to the door of the hall, and a general soldier and more than a dozen Sui soldiers hurriedly knelt down and saluted. Lin Nanna was in the mood to pay attention to them, and asked urgently: "Where are the people?" The chief soldier scolded secretly in his heart, but his face was full of smiles, and he greeted him: "It's all in this hall, I respectfully ask Your Highness to choose to take a look." "Oh? Good. Lin Nan couldn't help but push the door in, but then he suddenly remembered something again, so he smiled at the general soldier: "You do your job well, and you will be rewarded in the future." When the chief soldier heard this, he hurriedly thanked him and said, "Your Highness cultivates, and the villain remembers it in his heart." ”

As soon as Lin Nan and Gao Dehong pushed open the door of the palace, they only felt that the fragrance was fragrant, which made people's hearts feel awe. A large group of palace concubines and beauties are all anxiously piled up in the middle, although this hall is not small, but it still looks a little dwarfed by so many people at once. There were still many Sui soldiers standing on the four sides, which was even more crowded. Lin Nan didn't care about this, he just looked around, and only felt that the beauties were either graceful and graceful, or graceful, or shy, or with spring in their eyebrows, or weak and can't help but feel pity, or their bewitching posture made people's hearts ripple.

"Oh my God! This cost lives! Lin Nan barely held his mind, and Gao Dehong reminded in a low voice beside him: "Your Highness, it is only those who are vain but beautiful people to pick out some." Lin Nan also nodded, thinking that if he accepted all the orders, he would have to ask Yang Guang to cut off his head. I only heard Gao Dehong shouting: "Everyone stands in line, but there is nonsense, and those who do not obey the discipline will be killed!" As soon as this group of beauties heard this, they remembered the scene of Sui Jun wielding a knife, and suddenly their frightened little faces turned pale, and they all stood in several rows, and no one dared to scream.

"Your Highness." Gao Dehong's lewd eyes were full of smiles, Lin Nan first cast an approving look, and then looked over as he walked along the beauty queue.

"This petite and exquisite, eyebrows and souls, not bad; This body is well-proportioned, and the eyebrows are shy, which makes people want to hold it in their arms and swallow it in one gulp, which is not bad; This one...... This figure is wonderful, with a pair of slender beautiful legs, as well as a slender corset, and plump breasts, isn't it just good......" Lin Nan couldn't have imagined that all of them in Chen Gongzhong were beauties, and there was fire in his heart and his mind was dizzy when he just looked at it. At this time, a beauty with her head bowed and holding the concubine skirt with both hands entered Lin Nan's eyes, although he did not flirt with his eyebrows, let alone make a gesture to himself, and even his appearance was not too clear, but vaguely he felt that she had an extraordinary aura, which was touching.

Gao Dehong saw what Lin Nan meant, and walked over and shouted at the beauty, "Quickly raise your head." The beauty was a little shy, but she didn't dare to disobey his words, so she had to raise her head timidly, and there was infinite spring in her eyes.

"Oh my God!" Lin Nan was dumbfounded and couldn't say a word, although he knew that she would definitely be a beauty, but to such an extent, Lin Nan couldn't think of it. I saw that her soft embroidered hair was covered with a lot of gold and silver ornaments, a crested hairpin was still conspicuous, a goose egg face with snow-white skin, two eyes were deep and infinite, the tip of the nose revealed the crystal snow light, the cherry mouth on the tooth half bit on the lower lip, the elf-like figure and a flowing and flexible green gauze skirt, it was really shy and soft, full of charm.

The beauty raised her eyes and saw Lin Nan's eyes in full swing, and her cheeks turned red, but she didn't dare to bow her head because of the situation, so she only sank her phoenix eyes and tried hard not to look at him.

"Dare to ask the name of the beauty?" Lin Nan leaned in a little, and was about to reach out to grab her. The beauty was startled, took two steps back, and the delicate voice came into Lin Nan's ears: "The concubine's surname is Dong Zhaoyi." ”

"Dong Zhaoyi?" When Lin Nan heard this name, he secretly sighed in his heart: "Why don't I cross over to become Lord Chen, I think it must be more enjoyable than Yang Yu." Here, Gao Dehong said in his ear: "Your Highness, I haven't seen it here." ”

"Yes." Lin Nan swallowed his saliva, glanced at Dong Zhaoyi again, and walked over to the other side. There are too many stunning beauties in this Chen Palace, Lin Nan, who only looked at it, was dazzled, couldn't help but touch this one, pinch that one, and chose it for more than an hour before eight stunning beauties were set. They are: Dong Zhaoyi, He Jieyu, Jiang Xiurong, Yu Pheasant, Li Xiangjun, Zhang Shuyuan, Xue Xiling and Gong Yuemei.

At this time, Gao Dehong suddenly whispered to Lin Nan again: "Your Highness, I heard that there is a Yancui Palace in the Chen Palace, and Lord Chen often bathes here with the United States. ”

"Oh?" When Lin Nan heard that there was such a place, his heart suddenly itched, and he pulled Gao Dehong to order: "In this case, you will bring these eight beauties, Zhang and Kong, and the two concubines to Yancui Palace." Gao Dehong suddenly understood what Lin Nan meant, and the two looked at each other and smiled, and naturally they tacitly agreed.

Gao Dehong took the beauties to go, Lin Nan walked out of the hall with a smug face, and the chief soldiers outside saw Lin Nan coming out, and hurriedly followed up and asked, "Your Highness, what to do with the remaining beauties here?" Lin Nanzheng was happy, and after listening to his question, he put his arm on his shoulder and smiled: "You have a lot of credit, if you have a fancy for the beauties in it, take a few for your own use." ”

The chief soldier obviously had this intention, and when he heard Lin Nan's permission, he only closed his mouth happily, and said again and again: "Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness." Lin Nan had the kung fu to listen to his gratitude, and he had already taken two of his own soldiers to find his way to Yancui Palace.
