Yulin, Yuguan.

In the study room of the General's Mansion, Chang Zhongxing, who was dressed in regular clothes, sat behind the bookcase. In front of his bookcase stood a man whose whole body was hidden within a large cloak.

"Reveal your identity, in front of General Ben, I hate people like you the most." Chang Zhongxing snorted coldly, and said coldly to this mysterious person who bluntly said that he wanted to meet him.

The man in the cloak suddenly lifted his hood and shouted, "Uncle, it's me, Chang Biao!" ”

Chang Zhongxing was stunned for a moment, the man in front of him was indeed his nephew, although he looked much thinner than before, and his eyes were black, but he didn't even recognize his nephew. But Dou Ran, his eyes widened again.

"Didn't I send you to escort the grain and grass to Shuofang? Why are you here, still dressed like this? "For this nephew, Chang Zhongxing has always been dissatisfied, he can't do anything, and he usually can't endure hardships and enjoy it. If it weren't for Nian Qi being the eldest son of his eldest brother, he would never have stayed by his side. This time, he was sent to escort grain and grass, and there was also the intention of testing and promoting him, so that he could have some merit, and it was good to recommend him for promotion in front of the prince. Unexpectedly, it was so muddy that he couldn't support the wall, it seemed that he didn't go to escort the grain and grass at all, and he must have sent his subordinates to travel instead of him.

Chang Zhongxing's beard also trembled, and he wanted to call the guards to drag him down and beat him first.

"Uncle, please listen to what your nephew has to say, my nephew has come to show my uncle a clear way. Uncle doesn't know it yet, but you're now with one foot off the cliff. ”

Chang Zhongxing was silent for a moment. Although Chang Biao is a little literate, he can't do anything. But it's not the kind of person who dares to do it. These words seem to have some deep meaning.

"What the hell is going on, let's talk about it in detail. If not, you can go back to Longyou. ”

Chang Biao looked left and right a few times, and after making sure that there was no one around, he took a few steps forward and whispered: "Uncle, my nephew is already Chen Pojun's person." ”

"What? Eat inside and out, you big dog guts! Chang Zhongxing was shocked and angry. The brutality of the Xue family's father and son is well known, although he is a general. But if his nephew is in contact with foreign enemies, he will not escape the blame at that time.

"Uncle, please listen to me, Xue Ju and Xue Renyue have been defeated. Both father and son were captured by Chen Junsheng! ”

Chang Zhongxing almost lost his voice and laughed when he heard this, how could this be possible. Not to mention that Xue Ju, Xue Renyue's father and son are also a generation of fierce generals, plus the original subordinates of the two, and then counting the soldiers and horses of the Later Zhou who have just surrendered, the number of soldiers and horses of the two exceeds 80,000. And the Chen army not only defeated them, but also captured them? What are you kidding, the closest Chen Jun is to Lingwu is only Chen Kedi from Xiao Guan, but that kid only has 10,000 horses. Although Chen Shuda and the others, who were further away, had more soldiers and horses, they were stared at by Yuwen Chengdu's 120,000 troops, how could they suddenly send troops to Lingwu. This is just.

At this moment, Chang Zhongxing looked at his nephew's eyes, as if he was looking at a madman.

At this moment, a guard outside the tent hurriedly broke in before he could make a report.

"General, something is wrong"

"What does panic look like, what happened?"

"General Wuyuan Xue Wei has just arrived at Yuguan with dozens of horses, and he has brought very bad news. Three days ago, Chen Kedi took advantage of the fog to raid Lingwu, broke through Lingwu City, and ambushed and captured His Majesty at Dengkou. Then he used His Majesty's seal to trick the King of Jin into leading troops to Lingwu. Defeat King Jin as well. The king of Jin fled back to Wuyuan, and the Chen army then killed, the king of Jin was defeated, Wuyuan fell, and the king of Jin was also captured. General Xue Wei broke through all the way to deliver the letter. When he arrived in Yulin, there were only more than ten horses left, and he fainted as soon as he entered the city. ”

"What!" Chang Zhong stood up happily. The eyes were full of disbelief.

This thing turned out to be true, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at his nephew, but saw him nodding to himself quietly.

A moment later, all the officers above the Yuguan squadron had arrived, and even Xue Wei, who had fainted, was rescued and helped into the hall.

"Chen Kedi raided Lingwu, captured His Majesty and the King of Jin alive, defeated our army, and now Lingwu and Wuyuan have fallen into the hands of Chen's army. Ladies and gentlemen, what do we do now? Chang Zhongxing's face seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden. He was the first to respond to Xue raising troops back then, and he can be said to be a veteran and important minister of the Qin State, and for Western Qin, it was his own career. Now, all of a sudden, the emperor and the king of Jin were defeated and captured, which made him depressed a lot.

Xue Wei was the first to speak: "General, please also send troops to rescue Your Majesty and the King of Jin quickly." That Chen Ke's enemy army was only a few thousand, but he defeated His Majesty's soldiers and horses by trickery. If the general sends troops immediately, he will definitely be able to save His Majesty. ”

"No!" Immediately, some generals objected: "The task given to us by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is to stay in Yulin and prevent the Turks from crossing the river." And now that the prince has gone south alone, if we send troops at this time, then the prince will really be surrounded on all sides. ”

"The surname is Liu, what do you mean? Your Majesty's safety is more important than everything else, and the most important thing at the moment is to immediately send a letter to the crown prince, asking him to immediately withdraw his troops and go north to rescue His Majesty. ”

Chang Biao snorted coldly and said, "Prince? The crown prince is already difficult to protect himself now, do you still want to count on him? It's funny. ”

Many people in the hall still don't know who Chang Biao is, after all, he was just a small quartermaster in the past. The general who knew him immediately said angrily: "Shut up, you are just a small quartermaster, there is no place for you to open your mouth here." ”

Chang Biao didn't care, seeing that Chang Zhongxing didn't stop him, his courage grew a lot, and he said loudly: "To tell you the truth, the prince has fallen for the Chen Dynasty's scheme, and he hurried south with his soldiers and horses, wanting to stop Chen Pojun." In fact, all this is just Chen Pojun's deliberate layout, and now near Shangxian, 50,000 Chen troops have already opened a net, just waiting for the prince to throw himself into the net. Now, maybe the crown prince has become a prisoner of Chen Jun's subordinates. Ladies and gentlemen, the emperor and the king of Jin have been captured, if the crown prince is captured again, then the Qin State will not even have a person to call the shots, so where is the Great Qin? ”

"Traitor!" Someone in the hall shouted angrily.

However, more generals have fallen silent. Regardless of what Chang Biao said is true or not, it is already a fact that Xue Ju's father and son were defeated and captured, even if the crown prince Xue Rengao can come back, so what? In the contest between the prince and Chen Pojun, no one wants to believe that the prince can win. Even if he really retreated, but the Qin State even the emperor was captured, and the loss and defeat of Lingwu and Wuyuan had made the Qin State, which was already a foreign powerhouse, even worse.

Once the news of Xue Ju's capture is transmitted back to Longyou Hexi, I am afraid that Li Liang will send troops to Longyou as soon as possible. At that time, the generals present will not even be able to keep their wives, sons and daughters in their hometowns, so how can they talk about loyalty and righteousness.

"Is the prince really not coming back?" In the corner, I don't know which officer asked in a whisper.

Chang Biao smiled: "The prince's 40,000 troops are going south, and Chen Pojun's 60,000 army is waiting for the net, what do you think the result will be?" The Qin State has reached this point, do you really think that you can still turn over? Even if you survive today, what will you do tomorrow? Not to mention Chen Pojun, even the Yuwen clan and Li Rail in Guanzhong can easily swallow the Qin State now, and there is not even a little scum left. Ladies and gentlemen, so far, let's think about it for the sake of their respective families, their wives and children. ”

Xue Wei stared at Chang Biao hatefully: "You are advocating so hard, could it be that you have already surrendered to Chen Pojun?" ”

Chang Biao smiled: "That's right." ”

Stretching out his hand, Chang Biao took out a yellow silk scroll from his arms, raised it, and said with a smile: "This is the holy decree of Emperor Da Chen." ”

He opened the holy decree as if no one was around, and read it aloud: "Emperor Da Chen's order: The special edict is from the rank of Wupin Ranger General, and the actual position is from the Wupin Eagle Strike Lang General Chang Biao as the special envoy of Xuanfu, and the imperial general Chang Zhongxing is given the rank of the champion of the three products, and the actual position is from the general of the Sanpin Zuotunwei, and the title of Earl Fuchang is given, and the land is rewarded with 10,000 mu and the money is 1 million. All the rest of the Yulin Army returned to the righteous soldiers, and those who had officials were added to their original official positions, and each was rewarded with 100,000 yuan and 100 acres of fertile land. Unofficial soldiers are all given the first rank of lord, 10,000 yuan, and 10 acres of land. Da Chen Shenlong three years of wax moon, Xuan. ”

"Traitor, I'm going to kill you!" Xue Wei is the same clan as Xue Xing, and he is the royal family of Western Qin. Others can descend, but he refuses to descend. When the sword is raised, he will cut off Chang Biao's head.

"Someone!" Chang Zhongxing, who had never spoken, suddenly shouted.

A team of armored guards entered the hall with swords, murderous.

"Take Xue Wei down and imprison him."

"Order." Several guards slammed their knives on Xue Wei's face, and the blood flowed profusely. Xue Wei was still struggling, but after a few heavy blows, he fainted when he landed, and then was dragged down by the guards like a dog.

There was a dead silence in the hall.

Chang Zhongxing tidied up his clothes, got up and walked down the hall, knelt down and saluted respectfully at the holy decree in Chang Biao's hand, and said loudly: "General Chang Zhongxing will receive the decree!" ”

The officers and generals in the hall, how can anyone not understand the outcome of the matter at this time. At that moment, many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and knelt down in front of the holy decree with different expressions. For many generals, the current situation is obviously a wise choice. Fortunately, Chang Zhongxing chose this way, otherwise, they wouldn't know what to do. There are also a few who are still hesitating, thinking that they have received the favor of Xue Ju's father and son, but now that the general situation is forcing them, they have no other choice.

At that moment, Chang Zhongxing took the lead in cutting his hands with a knife, wrote a letter of loyalty with the generals, and swore together that he would be loyal from now on. Then he ordered more than 20,000 Qin troops from each battalion in Yulin and surrounding cities to lower the banner of the Qin army and hang the battle flag of Chen Feiying instead.

In addition, several carts of precious gifts were collected as tribute, and Chang Zhongxing personally accompanied Chang Biao with their blood letters and gifts to Shangxian to meet Emperor Da Chen.

The wind is flying, the flying eagle battle flag is hunting, and all the flags have changed overnight in Yulin City! ……)
