Chapter 322: The face is swollen

"The giant escaped through the stars, and the 100,000 thieves disappeared, and this is the work of General Chen. This house will definitely play the heavens and listen to it, in the name of the general. When Wu saw Chen Xie, his opening remarks were like this. After finishing speaking, he saw the loneliness and helplessness on Chen Xie's face, as well as a trace of gratitude in his eyes. Wu Dafu knew that he had spoken to Chen Xie's heart. As a Wenchen, at this time, Wu Dafu did not have any contempt for Chen Xie, and not every Wenchen had no limit of discipline. When the prefect of Wu was besieged in the city and was expecting reinforcements, in the desperate situation that not even a single soldier was willing to come, it was Chen Xie who led his troops to attack the enemy camp at night and defeated more than 100,000 thieves with 6,000 cavalry. This is not an exaggerated credit and life-saving grace.

"Governor Wu, the heart of Chen has been received, our army has rested for half a day, and we will go south to Chao County overnight, and I will hand over the qiē here to you." Chen Xie's meaning was also obvious, and Wu Dafu secretly sighed in his heart, sure enough, people were terrible. The legendary feudal town of Dengzhou Camp is not the same thing at all. blocked the city gate before, it should not be because I was worried about grabbing credit, but because I was worried that the soldiers in Luzhou would be unhelpful.

"Mr. Chen, why don't you rest for the night and set off tomorrow morning?" Wu Dafu still persuaded him, kill all night, rest for half a day, where is enough, everyone has to lie down tired.

"The military situation is like fire, and the soldiers are fast." Chen Xie said this clearly, thinking in his heart, who will I rob if I am slow?

At the same time, after returning to Beijing for three months, Wu Zhi, who thought that he had no future, was brought to Zhu Youzhen. During the time he returned to Beijing, if it weren't for Cao Huachun reading a little incense, please. Wang Chengen is also a loyal person, this Wu Zhi should have been a corpse. Kneeling in front of the king, Wu Zhi kowtowed like pounding garlic, bang, and his forehead was bruised and bleeding.

"Long live the lord, the slave and the maid are wronged, the slave and the maid are wronged!" Wu Zhi's cry was so miserable, as cold as Zhu Youzhen, he felt panicked when he heard it. But as the emperor, to his own minions. Life and death are kindnesses.

"You dare to say that you are wronged. I let you supervise the army in Dengzhou, let you make contributions with the army, and think that it will be of great use in the future. But what have you done? Dengzhou camp is dominant. Impeachment of the ministers. How did you become a prisoner? Zhu Youzhen's voice was fierce. This is not the case. After receiving the secret performance from Wang Dehua in Dengzhou, he once again subverted his perception of Chen Xie.

After receiving the order, Chen Xie did not delay for a moment. With the elite cavalry starry night, he went south and galloped to the aid of Zhongdu. Man Daming can't find such a general, right? If such a military general is said to be a feudal town in Wenchen's mouth, Zhu Youzhen really hopes that the Ming Dynasty will be such a feudal town. The point of view was shaken, Zhu Youzhen remembered Wu Zhi, and asked people to take him to him for questioning.

"Long live the Lord, the slave is the slave of the Son of Heaven, and he is the superintendent of the army, and he does not dare to slack off, all of which are for the benefit of the Lord of Long Live. When the Dengzhou battalion arrived in Shangjin, Chen Qiyu was jealous of the guerrilla Chang Shiren who refused to kneel down to Wenchen, and ordered him to go south to face 400,000 rogues. Your Majesty, that's 400,000 Liukou, Wuyang Wuyang, the slave is standing on the top of the mountain, and he can't see the end at a glance. Even so, Chang Shiren still went, without hesitation. In the first battle of Wulin Pass, 6,000 Dengzhou soldiers fought bloodily for a whole day to defeat the old thief. The Dengzhou soldiers fought a miserable fight, with more than half of the casualties and everyone wounded. The garrison Wang Ben, with more than ten wounds, still shouted a fierce battle. hated that Lu Jiandou, he didn't save him when he saw death, he sat in the Dengzhou camp and struggled to support it, saying what to flank behind the enemy. Long live the lord, if it weren't for the Dengzhou guerrilla Chang Shiren sent 500 cavalry to protect the slave and maid, what the long live lord would have seen was the ashes of the slave and maid. The most hateful thing was the heroic army that day, during the war, the friendly army fought hard, and when the thieves fled, they came out to snatch the merits of the war. The garrison Wang Ben, indignant, stepped forward to stop him. Lu Jiandou took the prestige of Shangguan to oppress people, and the Dengzhou camp was forced to be helpless, in order to protect Wang Ben, who was fighting bloodily. gave up all the exploits and captures, the slave was a eunuch, and no one paid attention to what he said, so he could only watch the Dengzhou battalion suffer humiliation, and he had to appease the generals in private. Long live the lord, the slave maid is really a stomach of bitter water, and it can't be poured for three days and three nights. ”

Wu Zhi's words, I don't know how many times I have prepared in my mind, with superb acting skills, three points of falsehood and seven points of truth, the logic is reasonable, and the flickering effect is absolutely OK. Not to mention Zhu Youzhen, even if Cao Huachun was listening to the side, he felt that this was the truth.

Cao Huachun stood up in time at this time, raised his foot and kicked Wu Zhi, and scolded: "Dog minion, obviously you are incompetent, and you dare to frame the minister in front of the king and deceive the long live lord?" See that I don't kill you. ”

"Cao Huachun!" Zhu Youzhen's cold voice came, Cao Huachun immediately knelt down, and said in his mouth: "Long live Lord, the slave and maid risked death to advise, now the situation in the Central Plains is unclear, it is better to wait for the situation to be clear before making a decision." This dog minion, it's better to continue to lock him up, don't let him go out and talk nonsense, it's a big thing to ruin the big thing of the Long Live Lord. ”

Otherwise, the eunuch knows the emperor best, Cao Huachun has a thorough understanding of Zhu Youzhen's temper. A performance seems to be speaking for the minister, but it is actually digging a pit and harming people.

Wang Chengen stepped forward and said, "Long live the lord, the slave has the courage to say a word." Zhu Youzhen knew that Wang Chengen would not talk nonsense, so he nodded and said, "You speak." Wang Chengen said in a low voice: "The slave maid thinks that it may not be what Lu Jiandou meant, but it is Chen Qiyu who has ruined the big thing of Long Live Lord." Besides, Wen Chen has never looked down on military generals, but Chen Xie of Dengzhou Camp has said that he is willing to be His Majesty's minions. ”

Zhu Youzhen frowned and said: "But Wang Dehua said that in the first battle of Haizhou, the Dengzhou battalion suffered hundreds of casualties, but he took the initiative to withdraw from the army, how to explain this matter?" Wang Chengen also knelt down, kowtowed, and said, "Long live Lord, that's fighting in the enemy territory." There are enemies all around, if the Dengzhou battalion is defeated, how can Jiannu be willing to withdraw from Xuanda? The slave maid thought that Wang Dehua did not know about military affairs and was greedy for merit, so he said this. ”

Zhu Youzhen didn't look at Wu Zhi anymore, stared at Cao Huachun and said, "Cao Huachun, you can talk about it." ”

Cao Huachun kowtowed and said: "Back to Long Live Lord, if the slave maid is the supervisor of the ordinary army, he will think like Wang Dehua." However, in this Dengzhou camp, the slaves and maids understand. The war was fought thanks to firearms, and the consumption of medicine was extremely high. This is also the reason why the Dengzhou Battalion, which was ordered to go south, has a lot of firearms. Wang Dehua's days in the Dengzhou camp were shallow, and it was normal not to understand the situation. Long live the Lord looked at Wang Dehua's secret performance this time, and he didn't say a word bad about Chen Xie. ”

Looking at the three minions kneeling in front of him, Zhu Youzhen glanced at Wu Zhi, who was bleeding undrunk, and asked, "Wu Zhi, you say, why does Chang Shiren refuse to kneel to the civil officials?" ”

Wu Zhi raised his head and said with a look of surprise: "Long live the lord, the slave doesn't know either." It's just that I heard that Chen Xie often said to his subordinates that the soldiers' knees are kneeling too much, and their morale and fighting spirit are gone. As a Ming general, how to win the battle without ambition and fighting spirit. Dengzhou camp kneeling heaven and earth, kneeling monarch father, kneeling father. Why should the courtiers who are also the king's fathers be superior? ”

The positions of the three eunuchs were different, but one thing was certain, they were all loyal to Chongzhen. At least at this time, they are all speaking for the benefit of Chongzhen. Wang Chengen belongs to the centrist faction and looks at the problem from Chongzhen's standpoint. Chen Xie's hat was buttoned by civil officials, but when Wang Chengen heard the news, he really didn't see that Chen Xie meant a feudal town. What he saw was that Long Live Lord gave an order, and Chen Sihua obeyed without hesitation. It can be seen that the problem lies with the civilian officials.

Cao Huachun is the butt decides the head, he and Chen Xie have a deep interest relationship, as long as it is good for himself, standing up and pit civil officials, there is no psychological burden at all. Wu Zhi is directly the person on the Dengzhou camp ship, there is nothing to say.

Speaking of Chongzhen, he didn't kill generals much during his reign, and even if he did, he was the kind of soft goods that Wang Pu didn't have soldiers in his hands. Zu Dashou and the like, have been laissez-faire, let alone Chen Xie. originally had a prejudice against Wenchen, but when the three eunuchs said this, Zhu Youzhen's mind was even more shaken.

"Wang Chengen, send a message to Wen Tiren, Chen Xie, the chief soldier of Dengzhou, add the prince Shaobao, and the Yin Jinyi Wei Qianhu, hereditary." After speaking, he added: "Chen Sihuake Haizhou, Jiannu is discouraged, and he intends to praise him." Then find some calligraphy and paintings from the inner library and let people send them to Dengzhou. Sue Chen Xie, I don't have any money for him, and the others must not be stingy. ”

After saying this, Zhu Youzhen was unexpectedly relaxed, Chen Xie has been a thorn in his heart in recent times. He didn't want to believe that Chen Xie was from the feudal town, and Zhu Youzhen thought that he could see it clearly.

Chao County, Shi Kefa, who was coerced by the defeated soldiers and refugees and fled, wanted to cry without tears, and was ordered to bring 3,000 soldiers from Nanzhili Jing to guard here, but he didn't expect that the thieves had not yet arrived, just saw the fleeing people, and the officers and soldiers ran away. Shi Kefa wanted to stop it, but no one paid attention to him, and after being dispersed in the crowd, the refugees poured in like a tide, and he was swept up powerlessly. I wanted to walk back several times, stood on the side of the road and watched the crowd, but I reluctantly chose to give up.

Just as Shi Kefa was hesitating, a carriage stopped in front of him, and the probe on the carriage was a businessman from Chao County.

"Master Shi, why are you here alone?" Shi Kefa was speechless, the soldier ran without a shadow, he was just a scholar, and he didn't have the ability to beat him up quickly.

"But the law is ashamed of the people of Chao County." was paid into the car by two family members, and Shi Kefa shouted at Chao County. Lin Dahu, who was in the carriage, sighed and said: "It's no wonder you, those generals fled in despair, and the officials also ran away." Hey, what's wrong with this Daming? The villain heard that the Dengzhou battalion went south, and General Chen personally led the army south, hoping to destroy these rogues as soon as possible. ”

When Shi Kefa heard this, he suddenly felt very weird, and wanted to reprimand this Lin Dahu angrily, but he couldn't say it. The view that Chen Xie is a feudal town and the great enemy of the Restoration Society is not the mainstream even within the Restoration Society. The current mainstream view is that the traitor is in the court, and Chen Xie is a force that can be fought for.

If Shi Kefa was only a temporary embarrassment, then when Wang Chengen brought the words to Wen Tiren, the entire cabinet was dumbfounded. The cabinet's face was swollen by the Dengzhou battalion. Didn't you say that Chen Xie was a feudal town? Chen Xie personally led the army south in the starry night, comparing Zu Dashou, what is the difference between the statement of the feudal town and the joke. To put it bluntly, some people covet the wealth of Dengzhou, and Wen Tiren's attitude on this issue can be regarded as a resounding slap in the face by the emperor and Chen Xie.
