Chapter 114: The Contradictory Chen Shushen
When Chen Huiji had already made up his mind, Chen Shushen in Yuzhang County was also facing the same choice.
As soon as Chen Shujian left, the entire Yuzhang County was undoubtedly gloomy, and with Chen Shushen, it was obvious that there was no way to mobilize people's hearts.
He, the king of Yueyang, was originally dragged up temporarily, and in the face of these Chen Shujian's old subordinates, what Chen Shushen could do was to let them settle down first, after all, as soon as Chen Shujian left, everyone's thoughts began to float.
With Chen Shujian pressed here before, no one dared to say anything, it was just a big deal to die with Chen Shujian, but now that Chen Shujian is gone, of course they have lost the little fighting spirit in their hearts.
Li Xinchen's army has passed through Pingxiang, and it is about to be killed under Yuzhang County in a blink of an eye, and Jiangzhou in the north does not know what the situation is, as for the Jiankang Mansion behind him, it seems that he can't count on it now, so everyone must come up with an idea now, and in the end it is Chen Shushen who can represent everyone's opinions.
Therefore, when the eyes fell on Chen Shushen, Chen Shushen was extremely uncomfortable.
He is nothing more than an idle prince, who has never held military power, and in this case, he is already an out-and-out puppet.
He knew what these people wanted to do, but he couldn't stop them, and if he didn't take the lead in doing it, he might even be cleaned up by his subordinates.
Thinking of this, Chen Shushen can't wait to break Chen Shuling's body into ten thousand pieces, if Chen Shuling doesn't make a fuss, Chen Shujian is still alive, this situation can at least be supported, even if there is really no way to retreat, it is not him Chen Shushen who comes out.
Damn it!
What's more important is that Chen Shuling has set a very bad example for everyone, which is clearly telling everyone that even the Nanchen royal family itself no longer cares about the outcome of this battle, and it has reached this juncture and is even infighting.
The generals and civil officials stood on both sides, and standing in the middle was Li Xinchen's envoy. The envoy didn't seem to take this scene seriously, but just looked at Chen Shushen for a long time, which made Chen Shushen a little dazed, as if he had become a lonely minister, and this person was sent by Li Xinchen to take these civil and military officials to crusade against him.
The envoy looked very young, which made Chen Shushen a little surprised why Li Xinchen would come exclusively, and the man smiled and arched his hand: "Yao Silian, the general secretary of the Han Dynasty, see King Yueyang." ”
"Messenger?" Chen Shushen frowned.
A staff member hurriedly whispered an explanation. It turns out that this secretary is Li Xinchen's newly established position, and above it is the secretary of secretary, as the name suggests, he is here to deliver news as a messenger, and the current secretary of secretary is King Gu Ye, and this secretary is Yao Silian in front of him.
Yao Silian is the son of Yao Cha, and he has only been crowned for a few years, and when he was young, he naturally didn't want his son to inherit his father's business and squat in the academy all his life, so he recommended himself to do this general, relying on his familiarity with Jiangnan and cooperating with Gu Yewang to preside over the communication and persuasion of all parts of Jiangnan.
Hearing this, Chen Shushen was shocked. Li Xinchen has obviously realized that the people in Jiangnan are now in turmoil, so they simply set up these two permanent positions, and whether it is Gu Yewang or Yao Silian, they are all people who are very familiar with Nan Chen, and it is naturally easy for them to come forward to get to the point.
This Li Xinchen!
However, he secretly scolded Li Xinchen in his heart, but he couldn't say it like this, Chen Shushen smiled and said: "Wasn't it common for Gu Yewang Gu Gong to represent the King of Han before, why is it Yao Langzhong this time?" ”
This sentence doesn't seem to be anything, but in fact, it is also asking Yao Silian, you are a little general, can you really represent Li Xinchen's will, and you can't help but look down on a certain person too much, so a certain is also a prince, and there are many soldiers and horses in this Yuzhang County!
Yao Silian couldn't help but smile and said: "Gu Gong is old after all, so the kid took the initiative to provoke this task, of course, Gu Gong also has his task, after all, it is more convenient to go down the river to Jiangzhou directly, so as to avoid the fatigue of traveling." ”
The entire conference hall was suddenly silent, and everyone subconsciously looked at Yao Silian.
What does this mean?
Uncle Chen gritted his teeth tightly, couldn't Chen Huiji hold on? If Jiangzhou surrenders, then the Shu Han naval division can rush directly to the city of Yuzhang County along the Ganshui, and then the Shu Han army will attack by land and water, which is simply a copy of the battle of Xiangzhou!
So everyone, including Chen Shushen, panicked.
Yao Silian seemed to be very satisfied with the reaction of these people, and said unhurriedly: "Now that the 100,000 army is besieging the city, Jiangzhou has already had intentions, so it is not a difficult matter, the kid does not dare to grab credit with Gu Gong, and this matter will naturally be handed over to Gu Gong." ”
"Aren't we safe here?" At this moment, a general couldn't help but ask.
As soon as these words came out, the entire council hall exploded.
"What do you mean by that?!"
"You know what you mean!"
"Aren't you generals going to fight this battle?"
"How to fight, a certain soldier has already run a third, and I'm afraid it will be clean in two days!"
"If you want to fight, you civil officials can find a way to make up for the army's money and food before anything else, otherwise you will be a fart!"
The civil and military officials on both sides immediately scolded each other, and Yao Silian, who was standing in the middle, seemed to have expected such a scene, smiled and said nothing, just looked at Chen Shushen.
"Quiet!" Chen Shushen's face was really unbearable, and he yelled.
Anyway, he, the king of Yueyang, still has to go out to top the tank, so everyone doesn't dare to go too far, the council hall finally quieted down, and Chen Shushen only felt that he had a splitting headache.
Through these few words of quarrel, he already understood what the following officials were thinking. The civil officials wanted to urge the military to continue to work hard in order to fulfill their loyalty, but they were absolutely not allowed to go into battle; And the generals naturally needless to say, for Li Xinchen and Pei Zilie, who were born in the Nanchen army, they didn't have much sense of rejection, plus they had been broken before, who still wanted to fight, as for the uneven food and low morale, it is also an important objective factor.
At this time, the smile on Yao Silian's face converged, and he looked at Chen Shushen with a straight face: "King Yueyang, I take the liberty of asking, in the battle of Xiangzhou, does King Yueyang know how many dead and wounded in the city?" ”
Hearing this, Chen Shushen felt that he had suddenly returned to that bloody night, and he couldn't help but shiver all over. Not to mention how many people were killed and wounded, he couldn't count the number of soldiers and horses killed and wounded.
It was a tough battle.
And Yao Silian took in Chen Shushen's expression, and then asked: "Then King Yueyang thinks that if this battle continues, how many casualties will there be in this Yuzhang County?" ”
