Chapter 128: The Beginning of the Road to the Throne

"Boom."

Although Chen Sheng had an ominous premonition in his heart, he was already a little mentally prepared. But when he heard the news, there was still a shock.

It was as if he had been struck by lightning, and his brain roared.

"Brother, are you going to die?"

Chen Sheng's heart was a little unable to accept it, when he said, Chen Sheng came from Zhang Xiu's favor, and did not want to take advantage of the situation, in Zhang Xiu's illness, accept Zhang Xiu's seal letter and title.

Receive the power of the entire Nanyang County.

At that time, Chen Sheng really thought that with Zhang Xiu's strong physique, recovery was within reach. After Zhang Xiu is healthy, if Zhang Xiu still has that intention, Chen Sheng can accept it.

After all, Zhang Xiu's leadership is indeed problematic, coupled with the dissatisfaction of Zhao Yun, Wei Yan and other generals, it is impossible for Chen Sheng to shirk it anymore.

But Chen Sheng didn't expect that Zhang Xiu was going to die.

The dignified Zhang Xiu, a generation of Xiliang fierce generals, was actually sick and dying.

It's just a little injury, just a little injury.

In Chen Sheng's heart, he couldn't believe it and couldn't accept this news.

"Da-da-da-da."

After a moment of shock, Chen Sheng didn't say a word, turned around and left.

Zhou Cang, Chen Feng and nearby relatives hurriedly followed.

"Summons Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, Liao Hua, and Fang Gu to meet us." Chen Sheng shouted.

"No."

A relative made a promise and went down to give the order.

Soon after, Chen Sheng led Chen Feng, and Fang Gu arrived in the hall of the General's Mansion. After entering the hall, Chen Sheng knelt down on the top without saying a word, Zhou Cang stood behind Chen Sheng, and Chen Feng knelt on the side.

After kneeling down and sitting down, Chen Sheng closed his eyes.

He began to build a plan in his mind to deal with the situation in front of him, and his brother Zhang Xiu was critically ill and was about to die. This was definitely unexpected by Chen Sheng.

What happens to the death of the lord of one side? Chen Sheng knew that it was definitely a situation like a big earthquake, although Chen Sheng believed that with his prestige, he could suppress everything.

But unpredictable results can still occur.

Brother Zhang Xiu is about to die. Chen Sheng was sad in his heart, but under the pressure of Cao Ying, could Chen Sheng be like a normal person, wailing and crying, and sentimental?

The answer is no.

Under such circumstances, Chen Sheng is destined not to show sentimentality, and even half of it is not allowed. The one who is the main commander, when Mount Tai collapses in front of him, his face does not change.

In this way, the generals and soldiers can calm down and maintain the stability of a force.

After Chen Feng told Chen Sheng the news that Zhang Xiu was critically ill, Chen Sheng had to hide his feelings.

"I can't even express the sadness in my heart, maybe that's where the loneliness comes from." Chen Sheng's face gradually calmed down, but he sighed in his heart.

"Da-da-da-da."

A moment later, a sound of footsteps came to Chen Sheng's ears, and Chen Sheng put down everything and looked up. I saw Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, Fang Gu, Liao Hua and other four people walking in front and back.

The generals were either busy training elite soldiers or leading their soldiers to further repair the city walls. Because Chen Sheng was in a hurry to summon him, he didn't even take off the armor on his body.

After entering the door, Zhao Yun and the others wanted to salute. Chen Sheng waved his hand first and said, "No courtesy, sit down." ”

"No."

Zhao Yun, Wei Yan and the others agreed and sat down.

However, after Zhao Yun, Wei Yan and the others sat down, they glanced at Chen Feng a few times, and they all showed puzzled expressions. They were in a hurry, and they didn't have time to think about it.

Now, seeing Chen Feng present, he was naturally puzzled.

"What happened?"

Questions arose in the hearts of the people.

"My brother is seriously ill and ordered me to enter Wancheng to preside over the overall situation." Chen Sheng didn't let the generals wonder for long, and told the news.

"Boom."

Just like when Chen Sheng first heard the news, everyone seemed to have been struck by lightning, and their brains roared endlessly.

But except for Fang Gu, Zhang Xiu's old department, everyone quickly calmed down.

Although I'm sorry for Zhang Xiu, but Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, and Liao Hua do not have Zhang Xiu in their hearts, and now Chen Sheng is in charge of Wancheng.

It's even more of a big event.

The power of Wancheng in the entire Nanyang County has increased many times in terms of potential.

Everyone is a general, so let's use a military proverb, there will be a bear, and a nest of soldiers. This is the case in Wancheng now.

Zhang Xiu is a general, and Chen Sheng is a hero.

If it is replaced, the potential is endless.

Although Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, and Liao Hua controlled their expressions, they were still a little excited.

Only Fang Gu's eyes were red, and he lost his voice in an instant.

"My brother's seal is here." After telling everyone the news, Chen Sheng gave everyone a buffer time. After a long time, Chen Sheng took a deep breath, took out the seal letter of General Zhang Xiu, held it in front of everyone, and said a word.

Immediately, he shouted: "In the name of General Jianzhong, Zhao Yun was ordered to be the general of Zhonglang, leading 5,000 elite soldiers, and 1,000 Cao troops to defend Guangcheng." ”

"No."

Zhao Yun took a deep breath when he heard this, and promised.

"Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, Fang Gu, Chen Feng and I led a thousand elite soldiers, and more than 2,000 Cao troops surrendered into Wancheng." Immediately after, Chen Sheng ordered.

"No."

Zhou Cang, Liao Hua agreed with a bang.

Fang Gu and Chen Feng also choked up.

Immediately, the whole city of Guangcheng shook. Chen Sheng gathered his army, leaving Zhao Yun and 6,000 troops, including 5,000 elite soldiers and 1,000 Cao troops, to defend Guangcheng.

He led 3,000 soldiers towards Wancheng.

Just as Zou feared, the monarch died, and the society collapsed. Chen Sheng was also afraid of accidents, so he had to travel lightly, the speed of travel was very fast, and in the night, Chen Sheng entered Wancheng.

Now, the news of Zhang Xiu's critical illness is hidden by the Zou family, and not many people know. Therefore, the whole Wancheng is still calm. Chen Sheng, as the governor and Zhang Xiu's cousin, entered Wancheng very smoothly.

After entering Wancheng, Chen Sheng ordered the generals Fang Gu, Wei Yan, and Liao Hua to lead the elite soldiers to live in the camp north of the city, and united with Hu Che'er, Qian Chong, and Chen Feng.

Then, he led Zhou Cang and 500 personal soldiers to enter the Jianzhong General's Mansion.

Everything is going well, Chen Sheng has gained a foothold in Wancheng very smoothly, if nothing else, this Nanyang County, as well as part of the forces in Runan, will be Chen Sheng's.

But Chen Sheng's heart was not half happy, after he entered the Jianzhong General's Mansion, he went straight to the Houfu and went to see Zhang Xiu.

Just like when he entered more than ten days ago, Zhang Xiu's room was filled with the pungent smell of medicine.

It's just that unlike the ten days, Chen Sheng saw a beautiful woman and three and a half children, and the beautiful woman was washing her face with tears and crying.

Three and a half children, also with red eyes.

These four people, Chen Sheng naturally recognized, the woman was his sister-in-law Wu, and the three and a half sons were all Zhang Xiu's heirs, and the eldest of them was called Zhang Quan.

If there was no Chen Sheng's unexpected appearance, it would be the Zhang Quan who inherited Zhang Xiu's title and was finally killed by Cao Pi.

Except for these four people, only the Zou family was left in the room.

"Sister-in-law, Mrs. Zou." Seeing this, Chen Sheng took a deep breath and stepped forward to salute.

"Uncle, my husband is dying. Concubines, orphans, and widows count on their uncles. Seeing Chen Sheng, Wu's eyes turned even redder, and he curtched. Immediately afterwards, Wu called his three sons and said, "This is uncle, come and see you." ”

"My nephew has seen my uncle." The three brothers of Zhang Quan still knew the etiquette, and hurriedly saluted.

Wu's attitude seemed to be very dear to Chen Sheng, very frightened, and entrusted everything to Chen Sheng. But in fact, it is not, but there is a bit of temptation in it.

Don't you see, Brother Zhang Quan's demeanor? How weak, how helpless. People who don't know still think that orphans and widows were bullied by Chen Sheng.

The Wu family is not an ordinary person, she was born in a relatively large family in Xiliang.

I have seen family disputes since I was a child, and I don't know how many there are. Among them, the brothers compete for property, and in the end the winner is the king, and the loser is the coward, and there are countless of them.

There are also many cases where brothers die and take the opportunity to bully orphans and widows.

Now, this is the situation in Wancheng.

Zhang Xiu is seriously ill and probably won't last long. And Chen Sheng's prestige is very high, and entering Wancheng is like a matter nailed to the iron plate.

After Chen Sheng entered Wancheng, how would he treat their mother and son?

Forget about the power, the husband is already dead anyway. Orphans and widows can't control their power, but the gold and silver in it are soft and soft, and such a big house.

They must leave a portion for their fathers and widows for future food.

But will Chen Sheng leave such a legacy to their mother and son? Wu hadn't seen Chen Sheng a few times, and he was in the inner house, but he didn't know what Chen Sheng was like.

Of course, Zhang Xiu is a rare person who praises Chen Shengnai and values love and righteousness. However, Wu doesn't believe it very much, he knows people and faces, but he doesn't know his heart.

And now the Wu family is testing Chen Sheng's character, and even has a bit of a taste of bullying.

Bullying.

That's right, it's bullying. Don't look at the orphans and widows of the Wu family, but the influence is extraordinary. They are Zhang Xiu's widows, and Chen Sheng is the one who took over Zhang Xiu's power.

How Chen Sheng treats Zhang Xiu's widow is a very big problem.

If you can't treat Zhang Xiu's widow well, how can you treat Zhang Xiu's subordinates well.

This will affect people's hearts and affect Chen Sheng's own reputation.

Therefore, the Wu family wanted to take advantage of this and wanted to test what kind of attitude Chen Sheng had towards them. If Chen Sheng really didn't even leave them any property.

Then even if the Wu clan is desperate, they have to fight for it.

As soon as Wu's move was made, Zou scolded: "When is it, hide your careful thoughts." ”

But when he saw Zou's willow eyebrows upside down, he looked very angry.

She is Zhang Xiu's uncle, who also lives in the general's mansion, and often meets with the Wu family, so she naturally knows the surname of this nephew and daughter-in-law, and she can see the purpose of the nephew's daughter-in-law.

She couldn't help but be angry and amused at the same time.

What kind of person is Chen Sheng, how could he treat Zhang Xiu's widow badly? Not only will it not be treated badly, but it will be generously compensated.

The niece and daughter-in-law are really too uninformed and can be said to be short-sighted.

However, Wu didn't think so, she didn't pay attention to Zou's scolding, she just cried, and looked at Chen Sheng with red eyes.

Again, Wu didn't believe that Chen Sheng would definitely be good to their mother and son.

There are bullying of orphans and widows among brothers, let alone cousins.
