Volume 4: Wolf Smoke in Shu 58: Yun Chen and the soldiers are united, and Xu Mad's persuasion is fruitless
Under the attack of Meng Changan and Chen Hengzhi, although the 10,000 troops left behind under the mountain were not completely annihilated, but this battle was also crushed, except for the fleeing, this battle killed 4000 enemy troops, and the rest of the soldiers and horses all retreated, Meng Changan did not dare to chase, symbolically sent people to chase two miles and turned back, at this time Meng Changan and Xu Mad and a group of generals went up to the White Horse Peak, and saw that the ground was full of corpses, the enemy's, their own, and those who fell off the cliff can not be calculated......
When he reached the second barrier, he saw Chen Heng sitting on a stone, holding a spear in his arms, and the broken red cloak on his shoulders swaying in the wind, as for the beast head on the armor, it had already been damaged, and the rest of the soldiers were also cleaning the battlefield one after another, Meng Changan stepped forward and said: "Dadu Governor, the last general failed to conquer Chengdu, please atone for your sins!" ”
Chen Hengzhi raised his eyes to look at Meng Changan and said, "Our army annihilated 20,000 enemies in this battle, what are you guilty of?" Chen Hengzhi looked at Xu Mad on the side and asked, "This gentleman is ......" Without waiting for Meng Chang'an to introduce, Xu Mad said: "Chen Dudu, take a step to speak!" ”
Chen Hengzhi was puzzled, but he still walked aside with Xu Maan, Chen Hengzhi took out the letter handed over to him by Yun Xingyan and said: "This is what the Lord asked me to hand over to you, and now he can't leave Longxing Town for a while, so he wants me to act as the agent for the escort of grain and grass this time, and ask me to assist you in conquering Chengdu and making contributions!" ”
Chen Hengzhi nodded after reading the letter, and said, "I understand what my brother means, Mr. Xu, without further ado, I will repair the troops for a while and attack Chengdu immediately!" Xu Qi said at this time: "Don't worry, now I heard General Meng say that the thief army has gathered a large number of troops in the Baisha River fortress, presumably because King Duan led the army from Jiangzhou to the west, and now our army is not on the bright side, and the troops in many sides are lost, it is better to take advantage of this advantage, smuggle across Mianshui, and go straight to Huanglong!" ”
Chen Hengzhi immediately shook his head and said: "I'm afraid not, Meng Changan didn't get a little cheap when he went to attack Chengdu before, but now I'm afraid that he will startle the snake, and besides, with such a little person, I am afraid that it will be difficult to pose a threat to Chengdu without siege equipment......"
Xu Mad asked rhetorically, "What if we attack with water?" ”
Chen Hengzhi said: "Absolutely not, such a devastating act is really not the work of the teacher of benevolence and righteousness, our army has fought this time, and it is even more difficult to conquer the city pass, and the people of Shu are also the people of my big clouds, if you rashly do something that hurts the peace of the sky, wouldn't it be invisibly to create a lot of rebels for Shu in the future?" In this way, what is the point of us breaking through Chengdu!? ”
After Chen Hengzhi acted as a general, how could he not know the strategy of water attack? But the big husband did something and did not do something, he could not cut off the fields of the local people for a few military exploits, he was exiled when he was a teenager, and he saw the toil and hardship of the farmer farming, no matter what, he could not bear to destroy the peace of Shudi......
Xu Mad said: "Then is it possible that the general will watch King Yu conquer the Baisha River fortress and take Chengdu directly?" Now that Duanwang's soldiers are full of fine food, and they have 200,000 stone supplies of grain and grass in the rear, it is only a matter of time before they conquer the Baisha River, and the first merit of the battle of Shu will definitely be captured by Duanwang! It is precisely in order to protect the general's merits that the lord has obtained this messenger with his subordinates, and he also asks the general to focus on the overall situation and not to act rashly! ”
Xu Mad is undoubtedly like a life-urging talisman, which makes Chen Hengzhi really difficult to do, his counterinsurgency governor was bought by Yun Xingyan for spending 100,000 taels of silver that day, of course he knows what the consequences will be if the credit is robbed like this, thinking of the hard work of the eldest brother, Chen Hengzhi fell into a dilemma......
"General Ben has his own conclusion, let's bury the pot and cook first, and the troops will repair for a day, and then talk about it tomorrow!"
Chen Hengzhi turned around and left, and Xu Yan couldn't help but start worrying about Yun Xingyan: Lord, you are not taking the road of benevolence and righteousness, is it right or wrong to use this loyal person to become a sword in your hand?
——187
In the end, Chen Hengzhi decided to lead his troops to aid Baisha River, although this is undoubtedly a bad move in Xu Yan's eyes, Chen Hengzhi's move is undoubtedly to give himself as a wedding dress to King Duan, although he is called the Governor of Shu, but King Duan has a high prestige in the army, how can he be dispatched? It's good if you don't get constrained by others!
However, Chen Hengzhi is Yun Xingyan's sworn brother after all, Xu Mad is inconvenient to say anything, so he sent someone to report the situation here to Yun Xingyan in Longxing Town, Yun Xingyan looked at the military report submitted from the front line, and couldn't help but feel his heart tighten, now Yun Qiancheng is like a rainbow, but there is no evidence in his hands to restrain him, if he returns to Luoyang empty-handed, then he will not come in vain!
Seven days later, the Baisha River fortress was captured by Yun Qiancheng and Chen Hengzhi's men and horses, and the counterinsurgency army is now in the city, and what Xu Qian was worried about finally happened, although Yun Qiancheng did not directly take Chen Hengzhi's handsome seal, but the command of the troops obviously fell into the hands of Yun Qiancheng, and the possibility of them wanting to get out and make meritorious deeds by themselves is almost zero......
In the tent, Xu Mad is now also verifying his identity, no longer pretending to be a marquis, but he is also a lot more relaxed, but the current situation is not optimistic, he said anxiously: "General Chen, you are confused, now that the overall situation is collapsing, it is too late to say anything!" You have been fighting for half a year, but now the credit will be taken away, and when the time comes to return to the capital, how will you let the lord deal with himself?!! ”
Chen Hengzhi: "I'm sorry, but the eldest husband has done something and not done, in that matter, Hengzhi can't be sorry for the people of Shudi, but he doesn't want to be ashamed of the country and his brother, so I will lead troops here, I will definitely cut off Nangong Li's head, so as to make up for the wrong decision I made!" ”
Chen Hengzhi's elm pimple made Xu Mad look at it is three points of appreciation, seven points of anger, what he appreciates is his rare sincere heart, which is like Guan Ziyu's rotten Confucianism carved out of a mold, and what is angry is his self-righteous character, in this era when killing one person is the crime and slaughtering ten thousand people is the king, who is going to show this benevolence and righteousness?
Seeing that Chen Hengzhi finished speaking, Xu Madness took his weapon and walked out of the camp tent, and hurriedly chased after him and said: "You come back, that Yun Qiancheng is strong in martial arts, how can it be your turn to go out of the city to call the formation!" What's more, the eighteen masters under his command are all gearing up to establish meritorious deeds, you are undoubtedly grabbing food in the tiger's mouth this time, so you are not afraid of never going back? ”
Chen Hengzhi stopped, looked at the two spears in his left and right hands, sighed helplessly, and said: "Mr. Xu, you don't have to persuade me, since I have made this decision, I will definitely be responsible for my own actions, if I fail to kill Nangong Li and die, I hope you can help tell my brother, just say that I only have the next life to repay his kindness to me!" ”
"Hey, come back, why are you so stubborn!"
No matter how Xu Mad shouted, he didn't see Chen Hengzhi's response, and now he has no soldiers and horses in his hands, and the only one who can fight side by side with him is the spear in his hand!
Half an hour later, outside the big tent of the Chinese army, Chen Hengzhi turned over and got on his horse, and Xu Mad parted and asked, "I have never seen such a stubborn person as you!" ”
Chen Hengzhi said indifferently: "I am clothed, dedicated to the East Palace, Gou Quan's life in the troubled times, only seeking to reach the princes, but the life is shallow, there is no way to serve the country, there is no one to cross the worries, my brother is despicable, committed to self-humiliation, I am in trouble, I know that I have no retribution, but today's predicament is really Chen Mou's own finding, I am willing to kill the enemy and make up for today's crimes!" Mr. Xu, I'm leaving! ”
Chen Hengzhi said that he left slowly and rode alone, and ran to the direction of the camp where the enemy army was stationed thirty miles away from Chengdu, but where the army besieged the city, those who had the strength to fight were unwilling to fight the battle of defending the city, one was demoralized, the second was panicked by the people, and the third was cocooned and self-bound, and now Yun Qian rode the army and strong horses, and had siege equipment, which was many times stronger than the men and horses of Meng Chang'an that day, so the rebels went out of the city to fight in the field is the best policy!
The news of Chen Hengzhi's unauthorized departure from the camp naturally reached Yun Qiancheng's ears, and Hua Yueying said: "This one named Chen Hengzhi is really interesting, one person dares to go to the camp as soon as he rides, Your Highness, are we just watching like this?" ”
