At dawn the next day, the twelve large-wing warships left Ying's heading for Chen, and unlike in the past, this time, the large-winged warships will not make any stops, and will sail directly to Chenying. Six hundred and forty chuli is only more than 200 kilometers, which is converted into one hundred and forty nautical miles. If the speed is 10 knots, it can be completed in 14 hours, and the summer days are long, and it can be reached before dark, but after all, it is a boat against the current, and the speed is estimated at 8 knots, and it takes 17 and a half hours to arrive.

Yingdu and Chen Ying didn't know that the king had left Ying's journey to Chen, and they couldn't guess that the king would arrive in one day. The outer court of Yingdu only said vaguely, saying that the king was unwell and would not come to the court to listen to the discussion today; In Chen Ying County Government, the regular meeting is being held every morning.

"Are you saying that the Qin army sneaked under my city last night?" Yesterday's night was the right Sima Chen Bu, and as soon as he came up, he told the Qin army that he had sneaked into the city last night, and he might attack the city tonight.

"Ridiculous!" Zuo Sima Chen beggar didn't believe it at all. "The new day is coming, there is no light in the dark night, how can the Qin people attack the city?"

"It is precisely because of the darkness of last night that the Qin people have not attacked the city even though they have gone to the city, if there is a trace of moonlight tonight, the Qin people have not been like this?" Chen Bujie asked. "County duke, Sima, yesterday our army destroyed the Qin people rushing car, so that they could not build a wall, so the commander wanted to attack the city to strengthen the morale of his army, last night the moon was dark and there was no light so he did not attack the city, if there is moonlight tonight, the Qin people will attack me."

"A school of words!" Chen Bu was a defender of Chengyang, and he thought that the Qin people would not attack the city at night. "The Admiral had never heard of a night siege, nor had the art of war spoken of it. The Qin people attacked the city at night, how to see? How do the pawns meet the enemy? And how to command? ”

"Sima, I saw the Qin people last night...... Chen Bu really heard a sound under the city last night, and looked at it after dawn, the city was just a muddy field, and there was no trace of the Qin people, he wanted to go out of the city to explore, but Chen Bu strictly ordered no one to go out of the city.

"Shut up!" Chan should not be low. "Where were you when you were going to defend Chengyang? You have never defended a city in your life, so how do you know the essence of defending a city? If the Qin people really attacked the city at night, they would only die tragically in the city and under the firewood......"

Chen Bu reprimanded loudly, and a soap-clothed little official ran over and whispered a few times in the ear of the county magistrate Chen Jian. Chen Jianben was a little drowsy, and when he heard the words, he instantly cheered up, his eyes widened, and he stretched out his hand and said hurriedly: "Hurry, hurry up and arrest people, they will board the boat to go to Yingdu." ”

They are all their own people, and everyone knows very well who they are. In the past few days, the newspapers have said that Yingdu is facing the people of the country and opening the foreign court, if they go up and cry a lot......

Chen Bu's scalp exploded instantly, and he scolded loudly as he ran out: "Who let them out of the city?" Why not? ”

There are also three city gates in the east of Chen Ying, and the one in the south is the water gate, which is usually a place where goods from the north and south gather, and it is even more lively after the army attacks the city. The corn brought in, armor, arrows ......, and the villagers who were transported out a boatload of boats, there were only a lot of boats, and the difference from the past was that the wharf at this time was completely taken over by the county officials, and the county officials of soapy clothes also haunted it.

In order to reduce the consumption of corn, only 30,000 Jiashi Ding Zhuang were left in the city, but who could go out of the city and what could not go out of the city, this is particular. For example, last month, the villagers who did not die in Beizhongmen must not leave the city, once they go to the Yingdu Zuoyin Mansion or the royal court to cry, then everyone will not be able to eat and walk around; There are also those townsmen who resisted the cavalry of the Qin people at the North West Gate, especially the two honorable soldiers who did not die, and they could not go out of the city, and they were even more dangerous - their identities could directly meet the king.

After that day, Chen Jian personally met with the surviving townsman and the two honorary soldiers, and he not only spoke good words to appease, but also gave gold and silk, and bluntly said that he had confessed his guilt to the king, and asked the king to punish him; For the more than 2,000 villagers who have not died, they are made to live in one place, in the name of guarding against Qin and Wei, and they are strictly guarded.

Of course, there will be a day when the matter will be leaked, but if the matter is spread to Yingdu after the war, it is not easy to punish the meritorious king who defends the city, I am afraid that these people will go to Yingdu to make a fuss at this time, and the position of the county prince will not be able to be kept anyway.

......Under the leadership of Chen Bu, thousands of county soldiers rushed to the water gate of Dongcheng, and on the boat boat on the wharf, Lan Zhong was saying goodbye to Chen Ji and Jiang Tan, and beside the two of them, there was an old man wearing a scarf and describing a withered old man.

"When I arrived in Yingdu, no one else could be trusted, but only the king could be trusted. If Chen Jian and Chen Bu learned that you were going to Ying, they would fly to Yingdu to make people try to block each other. The Blue Bell advised. During this period of time, Yingdu is enlightening foreign dynasties and dynasty people, and the two of you are honorable scholars, so you can escort the old man straight into the court; If the Yingdu is not opened, you will take the old man into the palace gate, there is a hanging drum outside the road gate, the name is called the road drum, this drum is on all sides, there are drumsticks next to it, and there is a big injustice can hit it. As soon as this drum sounds, the queen sleeps and shakes, and if the king is in the palace, he should appear immediately. ”

"I remember that drum." Jiang Yan, who only had a circle of fluff on his mouth, had read books for a few days when he was a child, and he entered the palace for a banquet last year, and he knew more than Chen He, the servant.

"Just remember it." Lan Zhong smiled and nodded, and he looked at Chen He again, "Is it okay to hurt?" ”

"It's okay, and it's even more so when you sail." Chen He still had bandages on his thighs, and he looked at the county guards and battle flags on Dongcheng, his face expressionless. "Chen Jian and Chen can't cripple the people here, and deceive the king, we will die, and we will send the old man to Yingdu to face the king."

"Good brother, I'll wait for you to come back and kill Qin Kou together." Lan Zhong patted Chen He's back, his eyes full of pity. He couldn't have imagined that it was Chen He, a lowly servant, who saved nearly 10,000 villagers in the North West Gate.

The blue bell waved at the old man, and stopped the old man who was evading. "Take care, old man. If you see the king, tell the truth. ”

"The villain knows." The old man was holding a bamboo slip in his hand, which was a day, and the bamboo slip was wrapped with an old piece of Dachu news. There was a big black line on the front page: 'Tens of thousands of Qin cavalry attacked Chen, and more than 1,000 villagers died. ’

"Stop them!" Before Chen Bu left the East Central Gate, his voice shouted.

"Don't go, Chen And!" The soapy county behind them also shouted, and they were out of breath after running a few steps, and when they reached the city gate, they couldn't run.

"No boats!" As soon as the East Central Gate came out, Chen Bu saw the boat on the dock that was about to leave the shore, and he couldn't start the boat, but when he ran to the dock, the boat had already untied the cable and was offshore, and the shore was thirty steps away.

"The county Sima is busy with military affairs, how can he suddenly appear here?" Lan Zhong saw that Chen couldn't catch up with the boat, and smiled happily.

"It's you?! Are you the one who caused them to get out of the city? Chen Bu pointed at the blue bell and was furious.

"No, no, no. I heard that the lotus flowers were blooming, and I came here to enjoy the lotus. Lan Zhong still smiled, not afraid of Chen at all.

"Hmph." Nancheng Water Gate suddenly drove out a small wing warboat, and Chen Bu's anger immediately dissipated, and he only said: "Don't be happy too early." ”

"The boat is stopped, and we will arrest Qin Jian on the order of Sima." Although there were not many men on the small wing warboat, it was still faster than the boat, and the people on the boat shouted to arrest Qin Jian.

Watching the boat gradually stop a hundred steps away, this time it was Blue Bell who was angry. "The dignified Sima, he actually made such a reluctance to use such a method, and he was extremely cheap."

"The county magistrate will give them a bounty, and they will be raised, and they will not be grateful, and they will go to Yingdu to accuse the county magistrate, what is the difference between these people who repay virtue with grievances and are unwilling to be in the same boat?"

"Haha......" Blue Bell laughed angrily. The golden silk is enshrined by the people of Chen County, how did it become the kindness of the county magistrate? When you wait for the city to be broken, how can you become unwilling to be in the same boat? As he spoke, he suddenly approached Chen Bu and said, "The county magistrate told us that he had asked for the guilt, but in fact, he concealed the casualties and deceived the king, and said that more than 1,000 villagers were killed and injured. ”

"More than a thousand! Haha......, more than a thousand!! Blue Bell laughed a little distorted. The corpses of the villagers are stuffed in the pond, the water in the pond is red for several days, the belly of the fish is full of human flesh, and no one in the city dares to eat fish anymore. There were only a thousand or more ...... dead and wounded."

"The sin of this war is not our sin." Chen couldn't shout, and he accused again: "Blue Bell! The Qin and Wei armies attacked the city, and it was when the whole city and the army and the people were in the same boat, so you did this, but you want to dedicate Chen Ying to the Qin people? ”

"I'm not in the same boat as the lowly ones!" Lan Zhong's expression returned to normal, "Lowly people are not worthy of defending the city?" ”

"What is Chengyang?" The county magistrate in the distance had boarded the boat, and Chen Bumen's heart was finally put down.

"Whose strategy is the defense of Chengyang?" Blue Bell also looked at the boat, which had already turned around.

"I don't want to go back to the city, I don't want to go back to the city......" When the boat was more than 20 steps offshore, someone suddenly shouted, and then the shadow flashed, and this person jumped into the lake, it was the old man who was a little numb.

"Since he doesn't want to go back to the city, he doesn't need to save it!" Chen Bu stood on the shore and said coldly, before his words fell, he jumped into the water and scooped up the old man.

"They are all suspected of being in Qin, and they are not allowed to leave the city." Chen must not dare to kill Yushi, but he can make it impossible for them to leave in wartime. "It's all good for the general, and if anyone gets away, they will take you and others to blame."

"Yes!" The county guards drank together, and the sound shook the eardrums.

"Sima ......" A soap official snatched the bamboo slip from the old man's hand and carefully presented it.

"Humph!" Seeing that Jian Shang looked up and wrote, 'The villain dares to tell the ...... of the day', Chen Bu snorted coldly and said, "Let his whole clan go out of the city to collect the corpse, and never enter the city!" ”

"You dare!" Lan Zhong was furious when he heard this, and Jiang Yan, who was covered in water, suddenly drew his knife, and wanted to kill Chen Bu on the spot, but he was faster than him, and the halberd spear in the county guard's hand was all protected.

"You want to kill me?" Chen Bu sneered contemptuously, he pushed away the halberd spear and walked under the blade, and said, "You kill me today, and tomorrow the Qin army will enter the city." Kill me! Kill! ”

"No!" Jiang Tan is a young man, but he is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he is about to split, and the blue bell pulls him back. "Chen Ying can't leave him, unless the Great Sima Mansion sends him another general."

"Haha!" Chen Bu finally won and said, "Take it away!" The rest should not leave an inch to prevent them from escaping. ”
