Chapter 331: Self-inflicted humiliation

Chen Xie didn't talk stupidly, but that's what he said. Why? It's very simple, Cao Wenzhao must have Hong Chengchou around him, Chen Xie said this, just for Hong Chengchou. The more ruthless words were still behind, and when he walked to the city gate, Chen Xie looked at the dilapidated city wall of Ruzhou and said, "I don't know if it's a Hongmen banquet!" ”

When Cao Wenzhao heard this, he coughed violently and almost choked. How dare you say it!

Following Cao Wenzhao to approach the Ruzhou Mansion, Chen Xie's 24 cavalry stood in the courtyard, standing like a mountain one by one, and no one moved a step to persuade him. Outside the courtyard, five hundred horsemen led their horses and stood in a square formation, like five hundred pillars, motionless.

Cao Wenzhao was still very interesting, and the guards inside asked him to wait, so he accompanied Chen Xie to sit and wait in the lobby, and this wait was an hour. Hong Chengchou in the backyard was still sitting in the study at the moment, with a pen and paper in front of him, hesitating what kind of recital to write. The strategy of encircling the thieves and preventing them from returning to Shaanxi had completely failed, and he was faced with the question of how to explain it to the emperor. The reason is actually easy to find, the number of troops is insufficient. But Hong Chengchou preferred to say that it was because Chen Xie's Dengzhou battalion did not listen to the dispatch.

Just as Hong Chengchou was hesitating, a staff member came in and whispered in his ear. Hong Chengchou immediately stiffened, tilted his head and looked at the staff, still holding a pen in his hand, and asked with a stiff expression: "Are you sure?" The staff nodded affirmatively, Hong Chengchou put down the pen in his hand, stood up and circled in place.

At this moment, Hong Chengchou fell into a contradiction, and he deliberately hung Chen Xie. There's not much to say about that. The question is. Drying Chen Xie is a trivial matter, but the reaction over there is a major matter. Standing at the gate of the city, Chen Xie said to himself whether this was a Hongmen banquet. Chen Xie dared to say this, what else did he dare not do?

It's okay to wait for an hour, Chen Xie and Cao Wenzhao talked and laughed. This guy is eloquent, and when he talks to Cao Wenzhao about the war, it's a set. Cao Wenzhao listened very devotedly, but others were anxious.

Hong Chengchou sent a watchman, and unexpectedly found that when Chen Xie's guards stood in the courtyard for a whole hour without moving, their hearts were no longer as simple as hair. What's worse is that. There were five hundred of them outside. Send someone to ask them to rest. No one cares about you. The water was brought and placed in front of me, without even looking at it. Standing there is really like a stake, and whoever comes will be treated as air. They are all people who lead troops to fight. Who doesn't know who? This soldier can stand still like a mountain for an hour. The Ming could not find such an army.

Hong Chengchou was frightened. He didn't fight less, and the urine of the Ming army was very clear. Five hundred horsemen stood outside for an hour, standing motionless. How scary is that! Just these five hundred cavalry. Follow Chen Xie out of the city, who can stop him? Who would dare to stop it. Not to mention Hong Chengchou, Cao Wenzhao and his subordinates were dumbfounded.

Although I was very convinced before, I was still a little unconvinced. Now whoever dares to say that he is not convinced will have to fan himself.

Chen Xie glanced at his watch, two hours and five minutes passed, the smile on his face was put away, and Tie stood up with a blushing face. With such a move, Cao Wenzhao immediately stood up nervously and said, "Mr. Chen, calm down!" ”

Chen Xie said lightly: "I'm calm!" As he spoke, he walked out, the curtain behind him lifted, and a Hong Chengchou walked out, and said lightly, "Mr. Chen, is this a little patient?" Could it be that this official, as the governor of the five provinces, really can't control you? ”

Chen Xie turned around slowly, looked at Hong Chengchou, and didn't say anything kneeling down, his eyes were as cold as ice, and he said in a stiff tone: "I waited in the lobby for an hour, and I already gave Governor Hong a lot of face." You are the prince and I am also the prince. ”

Hong Chengchou was unexpectedly not angry, but smiled and said: "This official is the secretary of the military department and the governor of the five provinces, and he gives Shang Fang the sword. When I saw the official, I didn't kneel and salute! Do you really think that the Shang Fang sword in the official's hand can't kill you? ”

Chen Xie looked at Hong Chengchou and said word by word: "Kill me?" It's up to you? As if by magic, he had an extra pistol in his hand, raised his gun to the sky, and continuously pulled the trigger on the roof, draining the magazine in one go. Bang bang bang, bang, gunfire was like firecrackers, the rubble on the roof fell down, the light came in, and a ray ......of sunlight fell on Hong Chengchou's face, illuminating the horror on his face.

Lowering his head and blowing a puff of white smoke from the muzzle, Chen Xie said lightly: "You try it?" Hong Chengchou's face was flushed, he took three steps back, sat on the chair, and looked at Chen Xie in front of him blankly. The previous calm and composed, a qiē in the grasp of the demeanor, this will be gone. Didi's voice attracted everyone's attention, and following the sound, drops of water fell down the floor under the chair.

At this time, he looked at Cao Wenzhao again, holding the knife in one hand, looking at Chen Xie with frightened eyes and said, "Mr. Chen, calm down, be calm." ”

Chen Xie looked at Cao Wenzhao and said word by word again: "Chief Cao Bing, I said that I am very calm. Since the fight has been two years ago, these turtle bastards have pit Lao Tzu countless times, and Lao Tzu is still enduring, do you really think I am a bully? Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, and Luo Ru can be opposed, do you really think that Lao Tzu can't be opposed? Even if Lao Tzu rebelled, he was forced to rebel by these grandsons. I advise you, today's events have nothing to do with you, let your people be honest. ”

Cao Wenzhao noticed the changes outside, dozens of cavalry rushed in, together with the personal guards, everyone had a short gun in one hand and a saber in the other, Cao Wenzhao's fifty family members rushed out of the courtyard and were pointed out, and no one dared to take a step forward.

After Chen Xie finished saying this, he looked at Hong Chengchou and dropped a sentence lightly: "Lord Governor, one last word of advice, it's good to do it." After speaking, Chen Xie strode out of the courtyard. The guards behind him looked cautiously around for a while, and slowly retreated. The five hundred cavalrymen outside had already mounted their horses and prepared for battle, and they all held their crossbows in their hands. As soon as Chen Xie came out, the war horse was brought in.

Turning over and getting on the horse, Chen Xie spurred, like a gust of wind, with his cavalry, rushed out of the city gate, leaving a trail of smoke and dust.

Hong Chengchou, who was sitting in the chair, was completely out of order at the moment. Trembling all over, what qi cultivation kung fu, what strategy, at the moment of death threat, all of them are shit. was directly frightened by incontinence, and lost face in front of everyone.

After Chen Xie left Ruzhou, martial law was immediately imposed in the city. The four doors were closed, as if facing a great enemy.

After Hong Chengchou left the front hall, he locked himself in the study for a whole day and night, and when he came out again, he was like a nobody. It seems that the coaxing Hong Chengchou is back again, and only the people around him know that his favorite concubine was strangled to death by him at night, and then carried out and buried overnight.

Back in Baofeng, Wang Dehua begged to see Chen Xie with the determination to die that night, and after the meeting, he knelt down for Chen Xie and said: "General Chen Bing, if you want to rebel, kill me first." Chen Xie sighed, raised his hand to help Wang Dehua up, and said: "Princess, it's not that I want to rebel, it's someone who wants to force me to rebel." Today I went but I came back from a walk at the Hongmen banquet. I'll make a bet with you, what happened today, Hong Chengchou won't let out a fart, but in the court, the impeachment can bury me. I have seen through this world, and none of those who are dedicated to serving the country will end well. Forget it, you don't have to worry, someone Chen said something heart-wrenching, Your Majesty treats me like a mountain, how can I rebel, just scare Hong Chengchou, the bastard. ”

After waiting for two days, the Dengzhou battalion sent troops, and Wang Dehua followed Chen Xie less than fifty paces behind, holding a dagger in his hand. With determination, as long as the Dengzhou camp moved, he would cut himself off. Unexpectedly, the Dengzhou camp went directly to the northeast and camped in Jiaxian County for the night.

Here in Ruzhou Mansion, not many people know about Hong Chengchou's ugly state, only a dozen people, Hong Chengchou and Cao Wenzhao have both issued gag orders, and there is no rumor of the matter at all. On the night that Chen Xie spent the night in Jiaxian, he received a military order from Hong Chengchou again, telling him to stop advancing and wait for the next military order. Chen Xie replied that he was going to Kaifeng to receive supplies from Dengzhou, and went on the road as usual the next day. After walking to Kaifeng, Chen Xie ordered to really stop here, and also received supplies from the Dengzhou battalion, as well as reinforcements from the two infantry battalions of the Jiazi battalion.

In Dengzhou, Wang Qinian returned to Dengzhou from Lushun and immediately announced an increase in troops. Zhu Dadian, who had just taken office, was well "taken care of" by the Dengzhou battalion. The "protection" is very tight, and the exit is escorted by cavalry. For a time, the land of Henan was treacherous.

Jingshi, as Chen Xieduo expected, the impeachment of the Dengzhou camp was once again piled up into a mountain. The crime is not Chen Xie's words that are not opposed, but Chen Xie's letting go of Zhang Xianzhong. Hong Chengchou was unexpectedly quiet and didn't say a word.

Compared with these twists and turns of impeaching Chen Xie, there are also many twists and turns from Nanzhili, all of which praise Chen Xie's twists and turns. This time's impeachment is not quite the same as the last time, the last time the government and the opposition were shouting and shouting to kill, this time the impeachment of the DPRK and the central government is impeached, and there are many people who say good things about Chen Xie.

The two kinds of twists and turns were mixed together and sent to Zhu Youzhen, but he was dizzy. Fortunately, Wang Dehua's secret performance came in time, and he said that Chen Xie went to Ruzhou, and the core was a sentence "Hong wanted to follow the example of Yuan Chonghuan in the past, but he couldn't kill Mao Wenlong, and after he fled, Chen Xie waved his army to Kaifeng and waited for the king's life." ”

This secret decision Hong Chengchou's actions are self-inflicted, and some words can't be put on the table, Zhu Youzhen asked people to give Wang Dehua a secret order, and asked Wang Dehua to go to Ruzhou to convey the message: Chen Xie is not Mao Wenlong, and you are not Yuan Chonghuan.

Zhu Youzhen did not let go of Chen Xie, and asked Wang Dehua to bring an edict, return to Dengzhou in the Dengzhou camp, and go to Beijing to face the saint by himself. To be honest, Chen Xie really didn't dare to accept this holy decree, and after thinking about it all night, he finally decided to accept it. The reason is very simple, Chen Xie can run whenever he wants to, what to worry about.

So Chen Xie asked Su Haochen to lead his troops back to Dengzhou, and he took 24 personal guards to Beijing. When the news reached Beijing, all the pieces of impeachment against Chen Xie were all silent. (To be continued......)
