Chapter 479: Surrender with Friendship
Finally, another day passed.
When the sun set, the exhausted Baihu Wei Xu couldn't help but drag his steps back to the camp after a hasty dinner.
As an official of a hundred households, Wei Xu can have a separate tent and does not have to be crowded with his soldiers.
But the more this happened, Wei Xu, who was lying alone in the tent, couldn't help but feel more and more depressed and afraid.
On this day, they did not dare to send troops to fight head-on with the Chu army, and they hung up their war-free cards again, watching the Chu army show off their might outside the camp. Similarly, on this day, dozens of officers and soldiers who said things that should not have been said were executed in public by military judges. Among them, there are even three hundred household officials.
So after this day, Wei Xu was not only physically exhausted, but also mentally.
Now, he is too lazy to think about when this battle will be won, he just has to get by, and he can survive for a day.
'Eternal hardship is the only death! I heard that the storyteller said this before, but Wei Xu was still a little unimpressed.
But at this time, Wei Xu couldn't help but feel that this sentence was simply too right.
The oppression in the barracks is like a cage, and even a few people who get together to talk and laugh in private may be executed as a rumor.
They don't know anything, they live like pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
So much so that in these days, when he was sleeping, if Wei Xu's head was not pillowing his saber, he would simply not be able to sleep.
So at this time, Wei Xu really didn't have time to pay attention to his soldiers, because even he didn't know if he would be able to see the sun tomorrow.
Thinking like this in my head, thinking about ......
"Bang!" A crisp metal crash came into his ears.
"Is it the sound of a fight? It seems that the time is not early. Hey, it's time to rest, but the sound of this dog's fight is really like the sound of a weapon......"
As he spoke, Wei Xu, who was already extremely tired, couldn't help but slowly close his heavy eyelids.
"Bang! Bang bang!! ”
"Well, this is, fighting, who is fighting!" Wei Xu, who was nervous, fell asleep for a while.
Then he slept in his clothes, and he couldn't help but pick up the saber he had placed under the pillow.
"Kill, kill all the ......, take revenge ......, Chu thief, Chu thief ......" The sound of the fight reached Wei Xu's ears through the camp tent.
Hearing this, although Wei Xu couldn't feel the slightest clue, he couldn't help but hurriedly put on his shoes after a long battle, and then rushed out of his camp with a horizontal knife.
"This, this ......" came into his eyes, seeing the messy camp and the flames gradually rising from all corners of the camp, a terrifying word couldn't help but appear in Wei Xu's mind.
"Battalion, battalion roar!"
……
"Chen Youliang, Chen Youliang, Chen Youliang!"
"Who, who. Who dares to call me by my name, do you want to die!? Being woken up from his sleep, Chen Youliang's eyes were red, and he couldn't help but look angry.
However, hearing his angry words, the person who was hidden in the darkness and whose voice was extremely familiar began to laugh disdainfully, "Hahahaha, Chen Youliang, you ungrateful vertical dog, did you forget my voice so quickly!?" ”
"You, Ni Wenjun!!" Seeing the appearance of the person who came out of the shadows, Chen Youliang couldn't help but be full of horror, "Damn, how is it possible." You're dead, you're dead!! ”
Chen Youliang roared, and the horror on his face couldn't help but be cruel. That kind of look, as if he was going to kill Ni Wenjun again.
But for the cruelty on Chen Youliang's face, Ni Wenjun showed a strong disdain.
"Dead, yes, of course I'm dead. But where do you think you are, in the world? Hehehehe, now is the time for you to pay the bill! ”
Ni Wenjun smiled cruelly, and then blood spurted out of his neck, and he couldn't help howling when his head and body were separated, and pounced on Chen Youliang.
"Ahh Someone, someone, kill him for me, kill him! ”
Chen Youliang, whose forehead was covered with sweat, suddenly straightened up from the bed and began to wave his arms and roar as if he had encountered a ghost.
So hearing such a voice, more than a dozen Tianwan soldiers wearing clothes couldn't help but rush into the room.
"Big brother, big brother!"
Seeing where he was panting, the whole person was like Chen Youliang who had been fished out of the water, and Zhang Dingbian's face couldn't help but show a touch of panic.
But fortunately, standing beside the bed, after being silent for a while, he finally realized that Chen Youliang, who had just had a nightmare, couldn't help but regain his senses.
"I'm fine, I'm fine."
As he spoke, his brow furrowed. But because of Fang Cai's behavior, the wound on his shoulder was cracked here.
"Quick, get the doctor, get the doctor!"
"Dingbian, how is the situation in the city now?" After coming back to his senses, Chen Youliang didn't care about the arrow wound on his shoulder at all, but stared at Zhang Dingbian and asked.
"This ......" Hearing the question, Zhang Dingbian's face couldn't help but become ugly for a moment.
However, looking at Chen Youliang who was sitting there, he still said truthfully: "The people in the city are panicking, and after the death of Ou Puxiang, a traitor, many of his subordinates have fled out of the city to join the enemy. ”
"People are panicking!" Hearing Zhang Dingbian's words, touching the wound on his shoulder, Chen Youliang muttered to himself. It seemed to recall the night when they were defeated and fled back to Dehua City, when Ou Puxiang wanted to kill him and surrender to Chu.
"Let's go, take me to the other side of the wall."
"But big brother, your injury!"
"I said, take me to the wall!"
"Yes!" Zhang Dingbian loyally responded to the order.
Then, under the escort of more than 300 heavily armed soldiers, Chen Youliang, who was injured, couldn't help but leave the mansion and came to the north wall of Dehua City.
"Wake up, wake me up. Get up, spirited, don't you see the general coming! ”
On the city wall, I saw Chen Youliang walking towards him surrounded by everyone.
The generals on the city wall couldn't help waving the whips in their hands one after another, scolding the subordinates who were lying on the city wall listlessly and crookedly.
Today, however, the generals' tried and tested methods have not worked.
The soldiers on the city wall were still leaning on, and even though the generals waved their whips, they had no intention of standing up. Even some rebellious people, looking at their generals, still contain a strong murderous intent.
Seeing this, Chen Youliang's already pale face couldn't help but turn even paler.
"Let's go, let's go." He grabbed Zhang Dingbian, who wanted to teach these soldiers a lesson, and returned to his mansion with people in a depressed expression.
"Fix the side, go, and he will call him first. I have important things to announce to you. ”
"Hey." Zhang Dingbian, who was also depressed, silently responded and turned to leave.
……
"Big brother."
"First of all, thank you for your hard work. By the way, where is Zou Pusheng and Zou Taishi now? Looking at Zhang Bixian, who looked tired, walking briskly, Chen Youliang pressed his hand on him, motioning for him to sit down with Zhang Dingbian, but he couldn't help but smile and ask.
Hearing Chen Youliang's laughing question, although Zhang Bixian had a bad feeling in his heart, he still answered truthfully: "Big brother, Taishi Zou is now protecting the palace. ”
"Protect the palace. Hehe, Zou Pusheng is really a smart person! After a sentence like this, and then looking at Zhang Dingbian and Zhang Bixian, who sat down left and right, Chen Youliang paused silently for a long time, and finally couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said: "It's over, it's all over, it's all over!"
Whether it's destiny or ability. I, Chen Youliang, are far from being the opponent of any King of Chu, defeated, defeated. I'm ready to sacrifice the city and surrender, even if I can't save my life, at least I will be less injured and wounded! ”
"What. Big brother, no! Hearing the sound, Zhang Dingbian, who was sitting there, stood up from his seat without thinking about it, "There are still more than 10,000 athletes in the city, and Nankang Road is still in the hands of our army." Even if the city can't hold on, we can go east to Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
The land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the land of wealth and plastering, there is the eldest brother in command, I believe that it will be able to make a comeback one day my three brothers. Why surrender and put your life on the minds of others. ”
"Comeback. Scold! Chen Youliang smiled dismally when he heard this, and said: "Even if you flee east to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Dingbian, what can you do." Nowadays, the land of Huguang, Xichuan and Jiang, the three provinces of southwest China, is full of things in the bag of Dachu.
With this majesty, how can Jiangsu and Zhejiang be alone. Compared to me, Chen Youliang, King Chu is the real master of the Mandate of Heaven. In this case, why hide in Tibet? ”
"Big brother!" When Zhang Dingbian heard this, his face couldn't help but become more anxious, and when he looked at Zhang Bixian, who was sitting opposite him, he couldn't help but hurriedly say to him: "Bixian, you quickly persuade the eldest brother!" ”
"Persuade?" Hearing Zhang Dingbian's words, Zhang Bixian shook his head with a wry smile, "Big brother is right." So far, the king of Chu has swept the southern kingdom. Rather than hiding in Tibet and panicking like a lost dog, it is better to surrender as soon as possible.
The king of Chu has the ambition to dominate the world. When we surrender, we should save our lives and our lives. ”
"You, hey!" Hearing Zhang Bixian say the same, Zhang Dingbian sighed, and finally lost his fighting spirit, "Since the eldest brother and Bixian both said so, you should surrender." After that, Zhang Dingbian sat down in his seat and said nothing else.
……
"Chen Youliang surrendered, Chen Youliang surrendered!" After the table, looking at the letter sent by Zhang Bixian, the messenger of Tianwan, although he had read it several times, the corners of Zhang Shihua's mouth couldn't help but arouse a smile.
Think about it, seven or eight years ago, he was just a low-end petty official of the Yuan Court, but now even the famous Chen Youliang has become a prisoner of his subordinates, and this kind of change is really like a dream.
But in the end, he has been in a high position for a long time, so Zhang Shihua shook his head slightly, and soon suppressed this strange feeling in his heart.
"Ziyu, Chongshan, you still follow this king, and you are the right-hand men under this king. You say, should I leave Chen Youliang alive this time? ”
"My lord, I will return to my lord. Chen Youliang is a person who has been in contact with his subordinates, and this person is ambitious and has a wolf look. killed the master Ni Wenjun, and knew that this person was unwilling to live under people. Therefore, the minister thought that it was better to get rid of this person than to keep him! ”
"Ambitious, wolf-oriented." Hearing Zhao Ziyu's evaluation, Zhang Shihua nodded slightly, and there was no lack of agreement in his heart.
After all, in the original history, Chen Youliang was a courtier who killed the lord twice. His recklessness is well known to the world.
However, after Zhao Ziyu said this, Zhang Shihua just nodded noncommittally, and then looked at Li Chongshan on the other side.
"King, although it is said that "the sea is tolerant of all rivers, tolerance is great", but Chen You forgives this thief, after all, he is an unruly murderer. It's not appropriate to keep it! Facing Zhang Shihua's gaze, he was silent for a moment, but Li Chongshan also said the same thing.
But in this regard, Zhang Shihua glanced at the two of them, but he couldn't help laughing.
"Order, reward Zhao Wei and the generals who break the enemy on all roads. Table Zhao Wei is the generalissimo of the west of the Jiang [] Pingzhang, the generalissimo of the expedition to the east, leading the six armies of Wuning, Wude, Wuding, Andong, Anding, and Fei, and pacifying the west of the Jiang. Zhang Shihui was the prefect of the Privy Council of Jiang [] westward and the right deputy marshal of the east; Ming Yuzhen was a fellow secretary of the Privy Council and the deputy marshal of the left of the expedition. Assist Zhao Wei to pacify the west of the Dingjiang River.
Chang Xiqiao is the middle of the imperial history of the Great Chu, inspecting the military and political affairs in the west of the Yangtze River, and has the right to impeach. Finally, after the end of the heavens, all those below the third grade, if they return, can perform their duties. Those of the third grade and above, such as Xu Shouhui, Chen Youliang, Zhang Dingbian, Zou Pusheng, Zhao Pusheng, etc., were all escorted to Jiangling, and the king wanted to meet them in person. ”
"Minister, obey!"
……
"Are you almost in Gangneung, it's really a thing!" On a heavily guarded ship, Chen Youliang, who was followed by several Chu army soldiers, came out of the cabin and was able to board the deck, looking at the scenery he had seen on both sides of the strait, but he couldn't help but sigh with a gloomy expression.
"Marshal Zhao, do you know, I really envy you!" After a long sigh, Chen Youliang looked at the deck, and couldn't help but say this,
After hearing such a sentence, Zhao Wei, who personally escorted these famous captives, couldn't help but chuckle playfully, "Oh." But I didn't expect that General Chen, who was in heaven, would envy me. That sounds like a bit flattering! ”
"Haha, Marshal Zhao doesn't have to make fun of me, I'm telling the truth. Others say that I, Chen Youliang, am an ungrateful murderer, but what kind of thing is Ni Wenjun. defected to the Yuan court for personal wealth, and then planned to kill the king. Shouldn't such a heinous person be killed!
I, Chen Youliang, am also a person who knows what loyalty is, but I am forced by the world! ”
