Chen Chu stopped talking, and the county lieutenant he thought about in his heart said frankly. He knows Zhang Er's temperament very well, although this person is righteous and resigned, but his suspicion is too serious.

Nanhou Chen Yu and Changshan Wang Zhang Er have come to this point, and the former brothers turned their faces because of each other's suspicions.

Chen Chu's family knows his own family affairs, and he is not a friend of life and death like Nanhou Chen Yu. He used to be a guest, but now he is a subordinate, and no matter which one he is, his status is not high.

His position in Changshan is very embarrassing, and whether it is this reinforcement or no reinforcement, it can't change this fact.

Because the reinforcement of Xindu will inevitably lead to the loss of Dongyuan, and the entire Hengshan County will fall into the hands of Chen Yu. If you don't reinforce Xindu, you are disobedient.

Left and right are not people!

In this eternal picture of troubled times, he Chen Chu is just a passerby, just a drop in the ocean.

Standing on the Dongyuan city wall, looking at the endless sky, at this moment, Chen Chu had no idea of rescuing Xindu in his heart, because he had more than enough heart and not enough strength.

At this time, he was most worried about whether Dongyuan would be able to withstand this storm. But if there is a mistake in the east wall, Hengshan County will be completely submerged.

For many years, Chen Chu fled under the constant pursuit of the Great Qin Empire, and there were always countless swords hanging on his head, and the coercion of the imperial court and the provocation of the rangers have never been broken.

It was only in the name of Zhang Er, a famous man in the world, that he relied on calculations again and again, and relied on his own careful maneuvering, that he escaped the catastrophe again and again, and survived quietly in the Central Plains, where swords and soldiers were boiling.

However, this time it was extraordinary, it was Chen Yu who led the army to kill, and Dongyuan was immediately in danger of overthrowing the nest. At this time, Zhang Er was far away in Xindu, how could Chen Chu not be anxious for a while?

Looking at the starry sky for a while, Chen Chu closed his eyes sadly, and his thoughts were mixed for a while.

After many years of fugitive career, the blood in Chen Chu's heart has become numb in the constant pursuit and escape, and the whole person has become resigned to fate.

Especially Chen Chu knows Chen Yu and knows how difficult and ruthless this person is. At the same time, he knew better how embarrassing his situation was with Zhang Er, the king of Changshan.

The new construction of Changshan Kingdom is not the revival of the old country like Qin Zhao. Julu, the people of the three counties of Hengshan, do not have much identification with Changshan country.

Naturally, the people of Changshan will not be able to fight generously when they face the rise and fall of their family and country. It will not even be like when the Chu State was destroyed, facing the great danger of losing the country, and doing the final desperate battle in Chu.

The people of the country have no sense of identity, and if Changshan Kingdom wants to survive forever, it must rely on the army in his hand to defeat Chen Yu's invading enemy.

Because the people of the country can't count on it at all. Being able to avoid sticking a knife in the back is considered merciful.

The indoctrination of a king, the inheritance of several generations, and the indoctrination of the world for hundreds of years, this special plot of the Chinese people, the sense of belonging to the homeland comes from the depths of the heart.

Without a century-old foundation, without sheltering the people of one side to live and work in peace and contentment, and without the common beliefs of the people, it is impossible to form such a sense of belonging and identity.

This is also the reason why Chen Sheng swept the world at that time, but collapsed overnight.

……

It is said that at present, Chen Yu's army has broken through the bitterness, and the army defending the city has been annihilated. In any 100-year-old country, it will be a time when everyone is in danger and the people's hearts are fluctuating.

But in Hengshan County, the news of the destruction of the entire army came from the destruction of Kucheng City. In addition to the shaking of the county guard's mansion and the continuous issuance of military orders.

Whether it is an old man in his twilight years or a young man who has not yet shed his childishness, the people of the country are at peace. There is no suspicion at all, as if this matter has nothing to do with you at all.

If the people of the country are like this, can they be expected to protect the city with blood? At the end of the day, you have to rely on yourself to work hard.

The thought flickered in his heart, this time Chen Chu was really bottomless in his heart, and even he himself had the fear of the city being ruined.

"It's dry, watch out for the candles—"

"It's dry, watch out for the candles—"

"It's dry, watch out for the candles—"

……

Walking down the city wall, Chen Chu boarded the bronze chariot and just passed through the smooth bluestone pavement street, and the trumpet of the watchman kept coming again and again, not unconsciously It was the third watch.

The moon and stars are scarce, the black magpie flies south, and the car rumbles away. Chen Chu knew that the life and death of Hengshan County was in his own hands.

There was a vague feeling that he felt that Chen Chu was definitely not stranded. At this time, I am afraid that it has approached the east wall, and it is hibernating in an unknown place.

It is like a poisonous snake dormant in the dark, waiting for the right time, and as long as the time is ripe, it will inevitably explode and attack, and it will hit with one blow.

This is also the reason why Chen Chu tirelessly went to the city wall and inspected again and again. There were not many defenders in Dongyuan, and Chen Chu was uneasy and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

Because he knows that any negligence can be the culprit of failure.

Now he can't afford to fail at all, and he is used to living a comfortable and comfortable life. is also holding great power to control the life and death of the people of a county, Chen Chu does not want to lose such a life.

For a person who has not experienced loss, he never knows how precious this moment of possession is. Chen Chu had lost before, and he longed for this kind of life to see the light of day more than anyone else.

Because of this, Chen Chu was very grateful to Zhang Er, the king of Changshan. But he yearns for such a life and such a day even more.

A criminal who misses hiding and hunting day and night suddenly has a life of righteousness in the daytime, and is rich and powerful.

Those who have not experienced it will never understand their desire for freedom.

At a certain time, especially when faced with a choice again, when you are about to lose this comfortable life, this desire will inevitably explode into endless murder.

For their own sake, they will definitely take risks, even to the point of dying.

Chen Chu was like this at this moment, and after the remarks of the county lieutenant, he strengthened his determination. Although he knew that King Changshan Zhang Er was in danger, he kept looking for excuses and reasons not to send troops to reinforcements.

This is human nature, and people are never the most afraid of losing. It's the fear of what is lost and regained, and one day lost.

If you haven't experienced the pain of loss, you'll never understand the preciousness of what you have.

Especially today's Chen Chu, you are a county guard. There are soldiers and generals under him, and it can be said that he has never dreamed of it.

When you are used to being a county guard, you are used to life and death. Chen Chu was naturally unwilling to become Ren Xia again and run around to survive.

In this troubled world, Chen Chu knows one thing better, that is, there is a soldier king in the troubled times. In his opinion, as long as he holds Hengshan County, no matter who is the king of Zhao Land in the future, he will have a foothold.
