Chapter 100: Important Meetings
The next day, just after dawn, the city defense general and his generals once again went to the top of the city to inspect the situation outside the city, and saw a small mound of genuine earth piled up with sandbags at a distance of 400 paces outside the city wall.

Seeing this, the city defense general was puzzled, and hurriedly rode into the general's mansion and reported what had happened last night and what he had seen this morning to General Du Min, the supreme governor of Xuanwu County, at 1510.
After listening to the report of the city defense general, General Du Min was taken aback, and followed the city defense general to the top of the city to inspect the outside of the city for a long time.
Du Min stroked his beard in his hands and stared intently at the bulging hill outside the city, falling into deep thought. After a while, Fang said to himself: "Chen Jun took advantage of the night to build a mountain of earth outside the city, what is his intention? Let's say it's a siege, what's the use of building a mountain four hundred paces away? Let's say it's digging tunnels, they've dug them before, and we've cracked them one by one. ā
"There has been no big battle in the past few days, so Chen Jun is probably full of food, and he has nowhere to use his strength, so he piles up dirt and mountains to play." A general laughed.
"Probably Chen Jun is playing tricks with us. Akari piled up a mountain of dirt outside our city to attract the attention of our army. Secretly or they want to use other tricks to smuggle in from other directions. The other general slapped his thigh and said thoughtfully.
"Or that Jin Zhenglei saw that he couldn't capture Xuanwu County, and he was disheartened and lazy, and wanted to confront us here for a long time, so he piled up a mountain of dirt as a barrier for them." Another general said, raising his hand in the air and making a gesture of separation.
Du Min withdrew his gaze from the small mountain bag, slowly glanced at the generals, and spit out a few words: "Convene an emergency military meeting!" Then he turned around and strode down the rampart along the side of the rampart.
About half an hour later, an urgent military meeting was held at the Xuanwu County General's Mansion.
At that time, all the generals of Xuanwu County were invited to participate in the meeting. The former emperor of the Northern Chen State went to the mountain, the former prime minister of the country went to the mountain, the former minister of the country was on the official Ze, and the former generalissimo was also seated, and also attended the military meeting. Chen's wars against the defense of the country were all caused by their absconding to defend the country, how could they stay out of it? Spending your days at ease?
As for why Chen Guo piled up a mountain of earth outside the city in the dark, the generals discussed a lot, and no one agreed, and no one was conclusive.
Although Chen Qushan and others attended the meeting, they only entered with their left ear and went out with their right ear for these arguments. They bowed their heads and sat in contemplation, without saying a word. Truth be told, they are not qualified to speak here.
Du Min stroked his beard and quietly listened to the speeches of the generals, these remarks were all general words, without any achievements, Du Min shook his head and sighed from time to time...
When all the generals had almost spoken, Du Min slowly turned his gaze to Chen Qushan, who was sitting in the third place on the right, and the light in his eyes made Chen Qushan panic. Chen Qushan was still comfortable just now, but at this time he suddenly became nervous, and hurriedly grinned at Du Min, and nodded his head a few times mechanically.
Du Min stretched out his hand to Chen Qushan and asked with a pleasant face, "Prince Chen, can you please tell us more about how several of your cities were lost?" ā
"Okay, General Du! The situation is like this, Yangzhou City is something that we voluntarily gave up when we saw that the general trend was gone. The city of Pyongju was lost because the defenders accidentally fell for Kim Jong-lei's trick to lure the enemy. Lianzhou City, which was lost by Kim Jong-lei's sneak attack at night... Chen Qushan was like a subordinate reporting to his superiors, and told Du Min about the reasons for the loss of several large cities in the Northern Chen Kingdom, and when he talked about the bitterness, he almost shed tears.
Under the roof of a man, how can you not bow your head? Chen Qushan used to be an emperor, but now he is not even as good as a lost dog, if it weren't for General Du Min's kindness to take him in, he wouldn't have anywhere to go at all. The Emperor Wei no longer accepts him, and I heard that an order has been issued to Du Min to hand him over to Kim Jong Lei to retire Chen Jun. Fortunately, Du Min is a strong person, and he replied to the emperor, since people have defected to us to defend the country, they believe that we will defend the country, so there is no reason to hand it back, the emperor's second will has not yet come, so it has not been implemented, but it will come sooner or later.
"Sneak attack at night?" Du Min listened, seemed to be very interested in the sneak attack at night, his eyebrows jumped, his body sat up straight, his eyes stared at Chen Qushan, and asked, "Can you tell us more about the specific situation of the sneak attack?" ā
"The specific situation, I ... Solitary... I don't know. The general should have made it clearer. At this time, Chen Qushan did not have the majesty of the emperor in the past at all, and he couldn't speak well, wiping the sweat on his forehead while stumbling and stumbling.
Du Min saw Chen Qushan's, and he looked down on him, so he turned his attention to the situation.
"According to the soldiers who escaped, on the night of the destruction of the city of Lianzhou, there were divine soldiers who fell from the sky, killed the soldiers guarding the city gate, opened the city gate, and then Kim Jong-lei's army entered the city, the defenders were defeated, the defenders were killed, and the city was lost." Besides, without waiting for Du Min to ask, he said his answer without thinking.
When Du Min heard this, he was shocked and puzzled, his eyes swept from his face, swept over Shangguan Ze's face, and stared at Chen Qushan's face, staring at Chen Qushan's head hanging weakly.
"Divine soldiers descending from the sky? Can you believe it? Do you believe in divine soldiers? Du Min questioned in his tone.
Shangguan Ze, who was sitting in the middle of Chen Qushan and the situation, did not speak, then cleared his throat and said disapprerovingly: "What if we believe it or not?" Anyway, the city was broken. ā
"Humph! If you don't learn the lessons of failure, no matter how many cities you have, you'll lose them! Where is there any magic weapon? If there is a divine soldier, the divine soldier entered the city last night! Du Min snorted in his nose and said contemptuously.
"That's what the general said!" Chen Qushan hung his head and said.
At this time, Du Min stood up from behind the Shuai case, and the other generals also stood up with a swipe on the ground, listening to Du Min's instructions. Chen Qushan and the others also had to stand up and listen to Du Min's instructions.
"Strengthen the city's defenses and patrol all night. There must be no negligence! Du Min ordered, his voice loud and clear. The generals responded in unison, and the roof tiles were sonic shock. . .
Du Min turned around and picked up an arrow from the handsome case, and said in a deep voice: "General Turin! ā
"Race!" Turin stepped forward, and he saluted with both hands in his fists, but he saluted with his hands crossed. This Turin is Du Min's younger brother, with broom eyebrows, triangular eyes, a collapsed nose, open lips, two front teeth exposed outside the lips, a withered and thin body, obscene, and extremely ugly. Alas, the appearance of these two brothers is really a world apart, one is comparable to a tiger and a leopard, and the other is three points uglier than a toad.
Du Min turned his head to look at his brother, General Turin, and ordered: "You pick a thousand archers to defend the air." If you spot any suspicious flying objects in the air, shoot them down immediately! Make no mistake! ā
"Yes!" Turin opened his buckteeth and said in a loud voice. He looked funny and his speech was extremely unclear, which made everyone present laugh and burst into laughter...
