Chapter 74: Submission
Chen Shuhuan saw Chen Shuyue inspecting, and immediately ran over, "Shuyue, I was looking for you!" β
"What's the matter, big brother? Isn't it the army stationed in the north? Chen Shuyue asked.
"That's it." Chen Shuhuan said.
Zhao Huanong immediately took ten steps back and began to be on guard.
"Who is it?" Chen Shuyue asked.
"At first, I thought it was a supervisor sent by the imperial court or a royal history, but later I found out that it was not a Beijing official." Chen Shuhuan said.
"Not a Jingguan? Who is that? Chen Shuyue said.
"At present, I know that it is Ma Youwei's old department, but why I came here is unknown." Chen Shuhuan said.
Chen Shuyue thought for a moment and said, "Big brother, do you think the imperial court knows about this matter?" Does the second brother know? β
Chen Shuhuan hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm afraid that he can't do anything if he knows." β
"It's better to write a letter to the court first to explain the truth." Chen Shuyue said.
"No need at all, I'll bring someone over for interrogation later, if there is no official document from the imperial court, I will capture them alive for the crime of disturbing the border, and it will not be too late to write a recital to the imperial court at that time, even if the imperial court blames us for the safety of the border, if the imperial court does not know about this, then we have done the right thing, wouldn't it be better?" Chen Shuhuan said.
Chen Shuyue nodded, "What the eldest brother said is reasonable, so I will do what you say." β
"A certain general commands!" Chen Shuhuan left after speaking.
Looking at Chen Shuhuan's distant back, Chen Shuyue couldn't help but feel a little sad, this person like his father made Chen Shuyue feel a lot of debt. should have a great future, or that Emperor Da Chen was this person, but he got sick and died, making everyone feel that he had died, who would have thought that it would appear again more than ten years later, but after appearing, it would be such a field. Fortunately, Chen Shuhuan has a calm heart and has deep feelings for his younger brother, otherwise who knows what the result will be. Thinking of this, Chen Shuyue felt a little uncomfortable.
"Master, are you feeling unwell?" Zhao Huanong asked when he saw Chen Shuyue's ugly face.
Chen Shuyue waved her hand and continued to walk forward.
Chen Shuhuan took Cao Fan and Huo Budu to the garrison camp in the north.
"Listen to the people inside, please come out and reply quickly, otherwise my Dachen Guangling Army will set foot on your side." Cao Fan shouted.
The guards hurriedly ran inside, and after a while, a young man in white came out, tall and majestic.
"Who's coming? Dare to call out in front of my Dachen Praetorian Guard. The white-clothed young man asked menacingly.
"It's me!" Cao Fan said with a spear.
"Who?" The young man in white asked with a glance.
"I'm Cao Fan, the general of the Guangling Army, who are you?" Cao Fan said.
"Unheard of, I don't know who you are. I am the imperial history of the Great Chen Forbidden Army, Wu Tong. The white-clothed young man finished speaking, and the long sword was horizontal.
When Chen Shuhuan heard that it was Wu Tong, he urged him to step forward and ask, "Wu Tong, do you recognize me?" β
The young general in white looked at it carefully, "The young general is clumsy, I didn't recognize it." β
Chen Shuhuan laughed, "I don't recognize that I'm normal." β
"Who are you?" The young man in white asked angrily.
"Wu Tong, I'm Chen Shuhuan, why did you forget? I think I recommended you to go to Ma Youwei back then, what? That's forgotten? Chen Shuhuan said.
The white-clothed young general was so frightened that he almost fell off his horse, held his hat and asked, "Lord Wang, aren't you ......" trembling and didn't dare to say anything more.
"Isn't it? Am I dead? Chen Shuhuan took over the topic and said.
"It's not me... But... How..."The young man in white stammered directly and couldn't speak.
Chen Shuhuan roared: "Dismount me!" β
Huo Budu directly kicked the white-clothed young general off the horse with a flying foot, and the soldiers of the forbidden army behind him were all startled. Unexpectedly, the three of them could suppress their 8,000 forbidden army, and Huo Budu's kick just now made everyone even more panicked, and everyone didn't see how they kicked off the horse, only to see the white-clothed young man Wu Tong lying on the ground.
"Wu Tong, you listen to me, if you know each other, go back to me obediently, otherwise my Chen Shuhuan's sword will not recognize people." Chen Shuhuan shook his sword as he spoke.
Wu Tong, a young man in white, stood up tremblingly, "Lord Wang, the villain doesn't know it's you, we are here to find Chen Shuyue, not to you." β
"Looking for Shuyue? Do you think you'll be able to meet Shuyue? Do you think you're qualified? Chen Shuhuan said.
"Lord Wang, I will never forget the kindness of the year, but I can't help myself, and the lives of the whole family are in my actions this time, and I have to follow." Wu Tong said.
"Wu Tong, I miss that you still have a little friendship with me, and if you don't go to war today, otherwise I will send 30,000 troops to Guangling and level your 8,000 forbidden army." Chen Shuhuan said.
A lieutenant general in the back asked: "Joke, do you have 30,000 people in Guangling?" β
Huo Budu pulled out the adjutant general and stepped on his feet, "Listen, my Guangling camp has a total of 300,000 troops, do you think it is necessary for us to play this kind of joke with you?" β
The forbidden army behind Wu Tong unconsciously took a few steps back.
Chen Shuhuan, Huo Budu and Cao Fan turned around and wanted to leave, Wu Tong knelt on the ground, "Lord Wang, the little one is guilty, I am willing to go back to Guangling with you to meet Chen Shuyue, oh, no, meet King Guangling!" β
Chen Shuhuan gave Cao Fan a look, and Cao Fan dragged Wu Tong onto the horse, and quickly whipped the horse and walked towards Guangling.
Huo Budu said: "Lord Wang, I will stay here!" β
Chen Shuhuan nodded and left with Cao Fan and Wu Tong.
Huo Budu rode a horse in front of the forbidden army, "Brothers, I don't embarrass you, everyone has left their families and wives to come outside, and life and death are up to you, so don't waste your life here, if you want to live, if you want to live better, stay in my Guangling, I will cover you, so that everyone can ensure that you live better than now." β
A thin lieutenant general stood up and asked, "General, we are all involuntarily, General Wu is in charge of us, and we all have to listen to General Wu." β
"You General Wu can't help yourself in life and death, can you still control you?" Huo Budu said.
Chen Shuhuan took Wu Tong to Chen Shuyue's camp, and Gong Banxian and others were also present.
"Lord Wang, this person is the imperial court's forbidden army Yushi Wu Tong, in charge of the forbidden army, and is currently leading 8,000 men and horses to be stationed in the north of my Guangling." Chen Shuhuan said.
"Wu Tong, what do you mean by leading people to my Guangling without permission?" Chen Shuyue asked.
Wu Tong knelt on the ground, "Lord Wang, a certain general can't help himself." Although Yuwen Tuo and Ma Youwei and others have fallen, their protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the court, especially the flower carvings around the emperor are in full swing, this time he sent me, and there are also letters from Uncle Guo, I can show them to the prince. Wu Tong said and took out the letter and dedicated it to Chen Shuyue.
"What is the purpose of your visit to Guangling?" Gong Banxian asked.
"Uncle Guo said that we will investigate what you are doing under the guise of a messenger, catch your handle, and then send the letter back." Wu Tong said.
"In that case, why are you telling me the truth? If you write to Uncle Guo truthfully, won't you be able to punish me directly? Chen Shuyue asked.
"Lord, it's true that I, Wu Tong, am a subordinate of Ma Youwei, but I was also a subordinate of the great prince back then, the great prince has the grace of knowing me, I can't forget my roots too much, the reason why I told the details today, whether I live or die, I have repaid the kindness of the great prince." Wu Tong said.
"So how are you going to deal with that?" Chen Shuyue asked.
"Lord Wang, I will write a letter when the time comes, saying that I have been ambushed by the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and Uncle Guo should not be suspicious at that time, plus the eight thousand people and horses are all born in poverty, so they will be directly adopted." Wu Tong said.
Chen Shuyue saw that Wu Tong was speaking honestly, but she didn't embarrass him, so she turned around and asked Chen Shuhuan, "Big brother, what do you think of the change?" β
Chen Shuhuan said: "Lord Wang, since Wu Tong intends to return to Shun, then I will be assigned to Xiying, but in case there are two hearts, I will come to see you." β
"Good! Just do it as the big brother wants. Chen Shuyue said.
"Lord Wang, will there be fraud in this?" Gong Banxian said.
Chen Shuhuan said: "Military advisor, if you cheat him, Wu Tong is powerless, even if Uncle Guo doesn't kill him, I will kill him, and I hope that the military advisor will believe me Chen Shuhuan once." β
Seeing Chen Shuhuan say this, Gong Banxian didn't want to say any more, nodded and said, "Okay!" Since the eldest prince said so, let's do what the eldest prince wants. β
Wu Tong knelt down and thanked Chen Shuyue and the others.
When Chen Shuhuan led Wu through, the forbidden army all handed over their weapons, and Chen Shuhuan was dumbfounded. "General Huo, what's going on?"
"Lord Wang, we are willing to submit to Guangling, and we are willing to fight and make meritorious contributions here." The skinny lieutenant said.
Chen Shuhuan nodded and looked at Huo Budu, "The general has meritorious." β
Huo Budu waved his hand, "Wherever and where, this is what a subordinate should do." Not fighting is a good thing, and it can be regarded as accumulating virtue and doing good. β
The 8,000 forbidden army was finally incorporated into the Guangling army, and Wu Tong followed Chen Shuhuan, and the matter passed.
Looking at the growing Guangling Army, Gong Banxian seemed a little restless, although he couldn't say why he was flustered, but he always felt a kind of uneasiness, his heartbeat was faster, and he was about to suffocate.
Suddenly, the herald came to report, "The prince has fainted." Gong Banxian hurriedly went to Shuyu's residence to visit, and Zhao Chun said: "I don't know what the reason for this true qi of the prince, it is always unstable, and this pulse is chaotic, causing the prince to fall unconscious. β
Gong Banxian asked, "Is there a way to do that?" β
"There is a way, but it takes a lot of twists and turns, the medicine that General Miao brought last time has caused an effect, but now it has run out, we need medicine." Zhao Chun said.
Gong Banxian dragged his tired body back to the camp, and suddenly a cold arrow shot inside, and by the time he ran out, there was no one there.
Gong Banxian read the letter carefully, knew that the matter was imminent, picked up the letter, and went to deal with military affairs.
He hoped that this time he could completely solve Chen Shuyue's illness, and he would not be so worried when the time came.
