Chapter 160: Red Face and Troubled Water?
On the other side, the battlefield of Chen Guo.
Zhong Bai's military deployment was to advance the land and water armies together, and finally join the divisions, land with infantry troops, and directly advance into the Chen State.
At this time, Chen Guochaotang had already exploded.
In the small court hall, the ministers panicked, exchanged ears, and were noisy.
"I, Chen Guo, have always obeyed the Son of Heaven of the Shang Chamber, why is this so......"
"Yes, this Tianzi is completely unreasonable......"
"Now, Zhong Bai, the general of Zhenwu, led an army of 100,000 to march together with a land and water army, and his naval warships have approached Linkou, and the iron cavalry has also arrived in Huaicheng......"
"This, this, this, how is this good......"
The tone of the people was anxious and worried.
King Chen's face above was gloomy, his fists were clenched, and there was no need to say much about the resentment in his heart.
It wasn't until a long time later that he took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and said, "Shut up!" The ministers fell silent.
King Chen said: "I, Chen Guo, have always been loyal to the royal family, but now Shang Rui has done despicable things, humiliated this king, and humiliated Chen Guo!" Is it tolerable or unbearable! I, Chen Guo, will resist to the end! ”
"But the king ......," said the minister anxiously.
"Nothing more!" King Chen directly interrupted him, pointing his fingers and shouting: "Immediately pass the order to reduce the level!" Let him lead his troops to Huaicheng! ”
The ministers' worries are justified, because Chen Guo does not have any force.
This is a very small principality, but also a docile country, has never used a war before, under the jurisdiction of only one county, the total number of troops in the country, I am afraid that it can only be compared to 30,000, how to resist Zhong Bai's army.
But King Chen's decision has been made, and the ministers can only sigh.
After the next dynasty, the concubine who heard the news also hurriedly came, and after seeing King Chen, she looked worried and said with a sad face: "King, did the Son of Heaven really send troops to attack Chen?" ”
"Yes, Shang Rui, a faint king, regardless of etiquette and shame, this king has ordered General Jianping to lead his troops to Huaicheng." Chen Wang said.
"But ......" The concubine was worried: "I am Chen Guo, the people are simple, the people are kind, and they never fight with others, if the war starts, what can I do." ”
As she spoke, she said again: "King, Shang Rui's intentions are just for the concubines, so let me reduce this sin." ”
"No way!" Chen Wang directly refused.
"But the king ......" The concubine's eyes were red, and she said with tears: "If the war is together, it will cause disaster to the people, how can you bear it for the concubines to be in your heart......"
"Anyway! In this world, no one wants to separate you and me! King Chen said fiercely, and also took his concubine into his arms, and gently wiped her tears.
"King, just listen to the concubine......" The concubine cried and begged.
Of course she didn't want to follow Shang Rui, but the matter had come to this point, and she didn't want to harm the people of Chen Guo.
But how could King Chen be willing.
He loves his concubine and goes deep into the bone marrow.
She did the same to him.
This is a pair of beautiful people, and good stories are spread all over the land.
But that's it, but the faint king wants to rob someone's beloved wife!
A few days later, Zhong Bai's army of water and land joined forces and approached Huaicheng, and at the same time, General Chen Guo reduced his level and led 30,000 troops to camp in Huaicheng, preparing to resist the imperial army here.
In Zhong Bai's heart, he definitely didn't want to fight this war, but the reason given to him by the Son of Heaven was that King Chen openly resisted the decree, and he didn't know the inside story until now.
To be honest, with Chen Guo's combat power, the results are self-evident.
The first battle of Huaicheng did not last long at all, and in only half a month, the reduction could not be resisted.
On this day, on the side of the imperial army, the Chinese army was in the big tent.
Zhong Bai was gathering the generals to discuss the troops.
Huaicheng has been shaken and can be broken at any time, which can be seen from all the generals on the previous battlefield, and this war is not too bloody.
A partial general said: "General, according to the current situation, our army will attack for another day, Huaicheng will be broken, at that time, the last general suggested, the army can be divided into three routes, from the southeast, northeast, and center, three routes, go hand in hand, and then meet in Chendu." ”
"Nope." Zhong Bai raised his hand to stop him, and said: "This battle is not to occupy Chendi, there is no need to attack the city, just force King Chen to surrender, so I intend to fight quickly and approach Chendu." ”
"This ......," the generals looked at each other.
"In addition, in this battle, you must not hurt innocent people, you must not kill a prisoner, and those who violate it will not be forgiven! Did you hear it all? Zhong Bai said again.
"No!" The generals clasped their fists in unison.
He laid out the battle plan here, and the next day, Huaicheng was indeed forcibly breached, and then Zhong Bai was like a bamboo, approaching Chen Du.
Because of the docility and strength of the Chen State, there was no obstruction at all, to put it simply, after breaking Huaicheng, Zhong Bai was equivalent to the Chen capital that marched to.
The battle was too easy, and in less than three months, the army was already under the city.
At this time, Chen Guochao was even more panicked, and a minister came out and said in a trembling voice:
"O king, Zhong Bai has come to the capital, and the minister implores the king to hand over his concubine to avoid this sword soldier......"
"Yes, the king, if there was no concubine, how could Chen Guo fall to such a point......"
"The king, this disaster is all caused by the concubine, and I ask the king to accept the words of loyalty......"
Whether it is for survival, or for the future, or for their future future, in short, these civil officials began to point the finger at the concubine.
Listening to what everyone said, King Chen smiled, first chuckled, and then laughed on his back.
After laughing, he pointed to the ministers below and said sharply, "You soft bones! Blame a woman for his guilt! It's ridiculous! ”
"This king would rather die than be humiliated!"
This is really innocent and guilty.
To be honest, it's not the fault of the mistress that she is beautiful.
Maybe...... Troubled water?
The next day, due to Zhong Baibing's arrival in the city, King Chen also went up to the city in person.
At this time, Chen Guo no longer had any troops to stop him, it can be said that Zhong Bai wanted to enter Chen Capital, he could do it at any time, and the reason why he kept waiting was that he was unwilling to attack the palace.
Seeing that King Chen was wearing a royal robe and a crown on his head, Zhong Bai couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly smashed the horse's belly, rode to the front, and then shouted:
"King Chen, if Zhong Bai is willing to attack Chen, he is really forced to do so, and you have seen the situation now, as long as you are willing to ask the Son of Heaven for sin, I will withdraw my troops immediately, and I will not hurt the people in the slightest!"
"Zhong Bai!" King Chen drank loudly and pointed at Zhong Bai: "Don't fake it anymore!" Now that my Chen State has been defeated, what else is there to say! ”
"That faint king! It's just that I covet my beloved wife's beauty and want to keep it for myself! Just send troops! ”
"Such a filthy and despicable person is not worthy to be the co-master of the world!"
"What did you say!?"
Zhong Bai was shocked when he heard this.
