Chapter 18: The Lobbying of Quicher (Part II)

Wu Chen had been stationed in Yi County at this time, not long ago, the disposal of Yi County's county order and county Cheng, caused a lot of sensation, some people supported and some people opposed, for a time, the undercurrent in Yi County was turbulent, Zhang Chujun's internal contradictions gradually revealed.

But at this time, the military ministers already had an army of 50,000, for such a large army, a small civil unrest, not enough to destroy this army, these days, Zhang Chujun is strictly training soldiers and horses in the school field, and supervised the production of a batch of weapons from Anyang, distributed to the officers and soldiers of the three armies.

It can be said that Wuchen's army is gradually transforming from a bandit army to a regular army, at this time, on the school field viewing platform, Wuchen sat again and again, on the side, there were generals and strategists, everyone sat in two rows, watching the martial arts below.

For the Zhang Chu army, which lacked cavalry, most of the main forces of the Wuchen were armed with Changge, and they also had their own chaotic formations, although they looked chaotic, but for the Qin army, this formation was extremely lethal, and in several large-scale battles, it was also quite effective.

But watching them perform martial arts is not the real purpose of the military minister, he just wants to boost morale by checking the three armies, which is the suggestion that Zhang Er gave him.

At this time, Wu Chen felt slightly tired, he got up and moved his body, Zhang Er smiled beside him: "General, I think that after we take Fanyang, we should immediately go north and march to Zhuo County, which has established a defense on the border of Zhuo County, at least for now, it is not easy for us to expand northward." ”

Wu Chen didn't understand Zhang Er's opinion, he couldn't help but stare at Zhang Er, and said in surprise: "Why do you say this? ”

Zhang Er saw that Wuchen didn't understand the mystery, so he smiled and said: "If we develop further north, the battle line is too long, it will be difficult for us to control, and if Handan is not down, it will be a thorn in our back after all, which may affect our foundation in Zhao Di at any time." ”

Wu Chen heard Zhang Er say this, nodded slightly, and at this time, Zhang Er said: "Moreover, we have 50,000 troops at this time, and we can completely return to the army to kill Handan County by surprise. ”

When Wu Chen heard this, he was completely conquered by Zhang Er's suggestion, and he couldn't help laughing and saying, "Sir's words are very good! ”

At this time, a cavalryman came quickly on horseback, almost to the martial arts platform, the cavalry turned over and dismounted, galloped quickly to the martial arts platform, knelt on one knee, and said loudly: "General Qiyu, the envoy is waiting in the county office, please return quickly!" ”

"Envoy?" Wu Chen was a little surprised, what news would be the envoy coming at this time?

With doubts, Wuchen looked at Zhang Er, Zhang Er was also at a loss, so he had to shake his head slightly, indicating that he didn't know, Wuchen no longer thought about it, and immediately ordered: "Prepare the horse, I want to go back to the county office!" ”

。。。。。。

In the county yali, a court envoy was also wandering anxiously, and soon, the military minister walked in quickly with the generals, and the court envoy saw the military minister, and said with great joy: "Quick, the military minister takes the order." ”

When Wuchen walked ten steps away from the envoy, he knelt on one knee, and behind him, the generals knelt down in turn. ”

The envoy opened the bamboo slip and read with a smile: "The widow got the news, the military ministers are mighty north of the Yellow River, the merits are very great, and the tens of thousands of troops are commendable, and the widows have ordered Zhou Wen to send troops to Hangu Pass, and advance to the pass, and the general Wuchen should not be in love with Zhao Di for a long time, when the oath goes west, echoes with Zhou Wenyao, and destroys the tyrannical Qin, he has made meritorious contributions every day, and can express the descendants of the Qing Dynasty, enjoy the Houlu forever, do not live up to the ...... of the will, so far, commend the military minister as Wu Xinjun, I hope you will make persistent efforts and play a triumphant song early. ”

After reading it, the envoy looked at the military minister and said with a smile: "General, get up." ”

Wu Chen got up and took the holy decree, and at this time, the envoy smiled and arched his hand: "Then I won't disturb Wu Xinjun, the king is still waiting for me to return to my life." ”

"Slow!" Wuchen stopped the envoy, turned back to Chen Yuling and said, "Go and fetch a hundred Eridium gold, I want to thank the envoy again." ”

"I don't dare to accept this, Wu Xinjun doesn't have to be polite." The envoy waved his hand and smiled, but the military minister insisted on refusing, so the envoy had to smile and nod and leave with Chen Yu.

There was a brief silence in the county office, and the military minister was also immersed in the joy of being knighted, and it was not long before the military minister woke up from the joy, at this time, he looked at Zhang Er on the side, and said in surprise: "The king asked me to go west?" So what about Zhao Di? With so many places, how can you do it without heavy guards! ”

Zhang Er smiled and said: "Why should Wu Xinjun be so anxious, the king has a life, of course we can't resist the order, but at the moment, Guangyang County is not peaceful, Handan has not been collected, and Zhao Di is not stable, of course we can refuse Your Majesty, even if Your Majesty sends an envoy to reprimand, we can also follow this, and hope that Wu Xinjun will not worry." ”

Seeing what Zhang Er said, Wu Chen's heart was a little relieved, and at this time, he looked at the generals and ordered: "Let's all go and prepare, these days, we will march to Fan Yang." ”

Everyone left, only Zhang Er had not left, at this time, Chen Yu also walked back, nodded to Wuchen, indicating that the envoy had been sent away, Wuchen felt tired, he let out a long breath, walked to the soft seat and sat down, and pointed to the soft seat on the side, signaling the two to sit down, the two were not polite, they sat down, at this time, a person walked in, clasped his hands into fists, and said loudly: "General, there is a person outside the county government who claims to be Kui Che and asks to see the general." ”

Wu Chen was slightly surprised and asked, "Who is Kui Che?" ”

He replied: "He claimed that there was a way for the general to level Zhao and stabilize Hebei in a few months." ”

"Oh? Does this person have such skills? Wu Chen couldn't help laughing, at this time his eyes had fallen on Zhang Er and Chen Yu, and the two of them were also slightly surprised, they didn't believe it, did this person have such ability?

After a short silence, Chen Yu said with a smile: "If this person really has such ability, he must be a usable talent, why don't Wu Xinjun put him under the curtain, he can be reused in the future." ”

Wu Chen also had this intention, and he ordered aloud: "Bring him to me." ”

After a while, he walked in quickly with a middle-aged man in a green robe, and the young man came to the military minister, arched his hand and said, "In Xia Kuaiche, I have seen the general." ”

Seeing Kui Che's extraordinary behavior, Wu Chen had a good impression in his heart, pointed to the soft seat on the side, and said with a smile: "Mr. is coming from afar, you might as well sit down and rest first." ”

"General Xie." Kui Che bowed and came to sit down on the soft seat, at this time, he looked at the other two people in the room, and couldn't help but smile and asked, "Who are these two?" ”

Wu Chen pointed at the two and said with a smile: "They are my advisers and generals, one is called Zhang Er, and the other is Chen Yu. ”

Kuaiche hurriedly saluted the two of them, and said with a smile: "I heard the name earlier, and I only saw it today, which is really a blessing for three lives!" ”

The two also returned the gift, at this time, the two relatives brought four cups of tea, respectively in front of everyone, several people each held a teacup, drank a few sips, Kuaiche also took the opportunity to drink tea, secretly thought about the words, soon, he smiled: "I came this time, there is a clever plan to present the general, can be in an instant, level Guangyang County, wave the army to Handan, I don't know if the general wants to listen?" ”

"Hahaha, I can't ask for it, and I ask Mr. for advice." Wu Chen put on a low posture and asked Kui Che for advice.

Kuaiche thought for a moment and said with a smile: "The general went all the way north, has there ever been large-scale resistance from the county?" Have there ever been counties and counties that have come down to me? ”

Wu Chen pondered for a while, and said with a smile: "It seems that the people are all spontaneously organized, defending the county, killing officials, and surrendering the city, it seems that the Qin army has no one willing to surrender, and besides, let alone resist, they can't wait to eradicate us." ”

Seeing that Wu Chen was outspoken, Kui Che couldn't help laughing, and after the laughter, Kui Che's eyes narrowed slightly, looked directly at Wu Chen, and asked, "Does the general know the reason?" ”

Wu Chen thought for a moment, and shook his head a little helplessly, but Kui Che looked confident, he got up and laughed loudly: "With all due respect, where the general passes, the Qin officials will definitely die, and the people miss their homeland, and hate the Qin army for all these years of arrogance, oppression, taxation, and bitterness, so, they will inevitably respond openly to the general, but the Qin army does not dare to respond, the stake is that they surrender to death, and if they do not surrender, they will die, why not fight to the death, and still protect the city?" ”

Kui Che's words, ingenious, this is a question that everyone has never thought about, Wu Chen, Zhang Er, Chen Yu and others all fell into contemplation, at this time, Kui Che said: "If the general can pardon the Qin general, the Qin general is grateful to Dade, and he will definitely serve the general, if he can protect his officials and the guards of the cities, what else is there to be an enemy with the general?" At that time, Zhao Dike's soldiers were bloodless, and they were taken in one go, and the general was returning to Handan, so why worry that Zhao Di was uneven and the world was uncertain? ”

Wu Chen was moved by Kui Che's words, he got up and wandered around the room, after a long time, he glanced at Zhang Er and Chen Yu, both of them nodded silently, Wu Chen smiled and said, "Mr. would like to go for me?" ”

"Willing to serve the general!" Kuaiche got up, and at this time, Wu Chen said again: "I will prepare to return to the Hou Dehou Yinxin, the banner, the high cart and the horse, please Mr. lobby Fan Yangling for me, if he is willing to surrender, I will be courteous, and return him to his original position, the high car and the horse, the marquis side, okay?" ”

"It's good, if the general can appoint Fan Yangling as the forerunner, so that officials everywhere can see the sincerity of the general, I think the defenders everywhere will rush to vote for the general." Kui Che said again.

Wu Chen laughed and said, "Everything listens to Mr.!" ”

。。。。。。

Early in the morning, under the city of Fanyang, the mighty Zhang Chujun lined up in a neat line, marching towards Fanyang, on the city tower, the white flag has been hung high, which is the banner of the surrender of the Fanyang army.

At this time, Fan Yang ordered Xu Gong to tie his hands behind his back, with thorns on his back, and walked out of the city gate, behind him, there were officials of Fanyang County, opposite him, where the door flag opened, Wu Chen rode out with the generals.

Soon, Duke Xu came to Wuchen, Wuchen hurriedly dismounted, personally untied the rope for Duke Xu, took down the thorns, and said with good words: "Why should Duke Xu be like this, in the future, I should appoint Duke Xu to guard Fan Yang and always be the backing." ”

Xu Gong was grateful, knelt down on one knee, and bowed down: "I am willing to listen to the general's orders." ”

Wu Chen nodded with satisfaction, took the letter from his personal entourage, handed it to Duke Xu, and said with a smile: "In the future, you will be the Marquis of Guide, and you will be responsible for guarding Guangyang County!" ”

Duke Xu was overjoyed, took the letter, turned to look at Fan Yang, and ordered loudly: "Beat the drums, play music, welcome the general into the city!" ”

。。。。。。

Three days later, Xu Gong personally rode a high cart and horses, led 3,000 vanguard troops, marched to Zhuo County, Wu Chen led the main force to follow, along the way to the county, all begged to surrender, even Zhuo County, also bloodless, was occupied by Zhang Chu's army.

Zhang Chu's army established a solid defense in Zhuoxian, and after half a month, after reorganizing the army and horses, Wuchen ordered to go south and officially march to Handan.
