Chapter 998: Mutual Suspicion
Chen Xian was the last general to get the news, and when he received the news, he was completely stunned, and he was hit harder than any other official or general.
He used to be just a small officer, but it was Liu Yu who promoted him to become a military master who could command thousands of people in one fell swoop.
Therefore, Chen Xian is very grateful to Liu Yu, but this person who has the grace of knowing him died suddenly, which shows that he has lost his backer, and he also hopes to do something under Liu Yu, at least to defend this Chengdu city first, but he didn't expect it······
Chen Xian's mind was blank, what should I do?
Soon, Chen Xian regained his senses, he thought that Liu Yu's death had deprived the entire Chengdu City of the principal, it can be said that now Chengdu City is a group of dragons without a leader, where is Chengdu City going?
At this time, Chen Xian instantly thought that military power is the most important thing, only by mastering military power can he have the right to speak, he immediately ordered to block the camp gate, and no one was allowed to leave the camp without an order, and no one was allowed to enter the barracks, anyone who wanted to go out and enter the camp must be approved by him, and those who forcibly broke into the camp gate would be killed.
He then immediately ordered the generals to be summoned to his tent for discussion.
"I am in such a hurry to call you here because I have something to inform you, Ben Jiang has just received the news that Liu Gong died of illness!"
"What?" The generals were shocked one by one and changed color one after another.
The impact of Liu Yu's death is too great, if it is in peacetime, there is an adjutant for military and political affairs, as long as the news is reported to the imperial court, the imperial court will soon have a new appointment, but at this time, the cadres outside the city are eyeing each other, even if they can spread the news, it will not help, and the cadres will soon get the news, once the news is learned by the cadres, they are only afraid that they will take advantage of the leaderless dragons in the city to launch a siege when the command is chaotic.
General Huang stood up and said: "General, things are too sudden, once the news comes, I'm afraid that the army will be unstable!" Moreover, the death of Liu Zhijun has put Chengdu City into a leaderless situation, if no one comes out to coordinate the overall situation, the city will soon fall into chaos, if the cadres get the news······ The situation is worrying! ”
Everyone's faces became solemn.
Chen Xian nodded: "That's right, but we are new to the city, and we can't control others for the time being, so let's take care of ourselves first!" When such a big thing happens, our army must unify its ideas, and there can be no internal differences. ”
The generals were a little puzzled.
Xiang asked the general: "I don't know what the general is referring to?" ”
Chen Xian said in a deep voice: "Is it to live and die with the city and leave a lifetime of fame, or to surrender the cadres and live in the world?" ”
This choice is too difficult, two extremes, either a heroic death or a shameful life!
But most of these generals did not want to choose, they all planned to hold on as much as possible until they could no longer hold on, and then consider surrendering, at least they had done their duty, worthy of their share of the money and their own conscience, no one stipulated that they must die in battle, and no emperor or dynasty dared to make such a provision for the army.
Fighting to the death and coexisting with the city are just some generals expressing their determination and will to the outside world, and such people are indeed favored by the supreme ruler and praised by the world.
Chen Xian looked at everyone's expressions, got up and walked to the middle of the big tent, his eyes swept everyone, "Gentlemen, in all the wars between my Great Song Dynasty and the Qianguo, there has never been a victory, so that now, our generals are afraid when they see the Qianjun, and they collapse as soon as they engage in battle, and our generals are afraid of the Qianjun like tigers!" ”
"Are we still an army? Can we only threaten the people in our own land, but be intimidated by the enemy? Can they all only be horizontal at home? What is the use of such an army? ”
Everyone is ashamed!
Chen Xian continued: "I am thirty-nine years old this year, I don't have much time to squander, some of you are older than me, even if you are a few years younger than me, if we don't do something, we can only do this in this life!" ”
"If we surrender to the cadres today, how will we face our sons and grandsons when our sons and grandsons ask us why we surrender to the enemy army as generals of the Great Song Dynasty? Don't we have any blood in our bones? Are we only worthy to be vanquished forever? I'm not a Shu person, you are all Shu people, I don't understand, isn't there a warrior among the Shu people who is really not afraid of death? ”
"As long as the Shu people are not dead, we must not let the cadres run rampant in our land, otherwise we will be sorry for future generations, we are sinners! We can't let the cadres look down on us, we have to let them know that this is not a place where they can come if they want to, and it is not a place where they can do whatever they want! ”
Everyone was so blushing by Zhao Junsheng's words that Huang Zhan would clasp his fists and say loudly: "The last general has lived in a daze for more than 30 years, and now he has woken up after listening to the general's words, and the last general is willing to defend to the end with the general, as long as there is still a breath of air, the cadres will not want to step over the city wall!" ”
Xiang General also turned red and clasped his fists and said: "The last general swears to follow the general to the death and fight the cadres to the end!" ”
The others also clasped their fists and shouted: "Fight to the end!" ”
Chen Xian gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, suppressing the excitement in his heart, "Okay, as long as our brothers work together, we will definitely be able to keep the cadres out of the city!" ”
"Next, what we have to do is to prevent other officials and generals from leading troops to surrender, and now that Liu Envoy Jun has died, I'm afraid that those people already have their own thoughts, and I have to go to the Assassin Mansion to investigate!" General Huang, now you are in charge of the battalion, and General Xiang is responsible for leading the troops to patrol the city, especially in the area close to the city wall, I suspect that there are cadres in the city, we must now block the news, and once we find suspicious people during the city patrol, arrest them immediately! If someone tries to secretly open the city gate and surrender, take it down for me, no matter who he is, if he dares to resist, he will be killed! ”
Huang and Xiang immediately hugged their fists and agreed: "No! ”
After the meeting, the generals left one after another to perform their duties, and Chen Xian left the barracks with his own soldiers and quickly rushed to the Assassin's Mansion.
"General Chen, the commander of the Qianwei Army, has arrived—"
As a guard at the door announced loudly, Chen Xian walked in with two personal soldiers.
The officials and generals who were arguing in the lobby stopped one after another, and they all looked at Chen Xian.
Chen Xian hugged his fists to everyone, and came to the coffin with a sad look and bowed.
There are also rules for memorials, and the younger generations must bow down to the elders, and of course, the family members and children do not need to return the ceremony; Although the elders pay tribute to the same generation, we generally pay attention to the deceased, so we also have to bow down, but the deceased is not accepted, and the family members and children kneel and bow back; The elders do not need to kneel and worship, but only bow with incense.
The officials and generals in the entire city sent their families and children away, but Liu Yu kept his own family children, which was also his determination to show all the officials and generals that he would stick to the end.
Liu Yu's family and children bowed to Chen Xian and returned the salute.
Chen Xian got up and walked to Liu Yu's family and children and whispered comfort, asking them to mourn.
The main person in charge of the funeral, Bo Wang Fuwenqing and Chen Xian, went to the side to serve tea.
Chen Xian walked between the officials and generals and hugged his fists and said, "I'm sorry everyone, it's too late in the end!" The last general heard the news like five thunderbolts, so that you were fine in the morning, how could you ······ in the evening?"
Ma Zhongliang, who was engaged in governance, wiped his tears, "It's all my fault, if I don't tell the envoy the news that most of the officials in the city have fled disguised as civilians, the envoy will not be ······ in a fit of anger."
Chen Xian was furious: "These people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, the court raised them like a group of white-eyed wolves!" ”
Don't drive Yang Ling sighed: "The matter has come to this, it's useless to say this!" Now that the king is gone, we have lost our backbone, no one is in charge of military and political affairs, and there is no one with prestige to coordinate the overall command of the city, I am afraid that we will not be able to stop the attack of the cadres! ”
Chen Xian heard Yang Ling's intention to stick to it had been shaken, and he had a very bad feeling in his heart.
Han Li, who joined the army, stood up and said: "Princes, the envoy has died, once the news is known by the cadres, I am afraid that the cadres will take advantage of the opportunity that no one in the city is in charge of the overall situation to launch a fierce attack!" Therefore, I think that now we should block the news of the death of the envoy, this news can only be known to the officials and generals in the city, and cannot be transmitted to the ears of the low-level officials and soldiers who are dismissed, on the one hand, it may cause low morale among the soldiers, and on the other hand, it will be a big trouble for the fine saku to pass on the news after knowing it! ”
"I agree, but this matter must be discussed with the envoy's family and heirs, and their consent will be sought, and the mourning will not be kept secret for the time being!"
Everyone immediately brought in Bo Wang Fuwen, the main man who supported the funeral, and asked Wang Fuwen to talk to the family members.
Wang Fuwen said a lot of things, and finally moved Liu Yu's family members, so that they agreed to keep the funeral secret for the time being, conceal the news, and wait for the war to pass before being buried.
As for what to do next, the officials and the generals discussed together, but everyone said it, but everyone did not make it clear whether they wanted to defend or surrender, and they only wanted to know the attitude of others.
At this time, everyone knows that they can't easily express their position, this matter involves life and death, and once they express their position, it is likely to lead to death.
The dozen or so officials and generals present were suspicious of each other at this time, and they all wanted to find out the attitudes of other people, no matter what their own attitudes were, they all wanted to find people who could form alliances, and only by finding people who could form alliances could they be safer, and if they made a rash statement, they were likely to be the ghosts of the opponents!
