The news of Chen Deng's death soon spread to Shangcai and Xiapi, and Li Tong was so shocked that he almost fell off his horse.

He quickly ran back to the account, looked at the hanging Kanyu map, and couldn't help but sigh, seeing that most of the defense lines deployed by the Cao army against the Jiangdong Army had collapsed, if reinforcements did not come again, it would be difficult for Shangcai's less than 1,000 soldiers and horses to resist the Jiangdong Army's continued advance.

Man Zhong has gone out of the city to ask for help from Lang Cao Ren, Cao Ren is stationed in the Yingchuan area, and is the closest reinforcement.

Now there are people in the counties around Xuchang who are in turmoil, thinking that Cao Jun has an urgent need to cross the official crossing, and there are often defections of the officials, and the successive losses in Runan and other places have made the officials of the Han court in Xuchang more uneasy.

Li Tong only felt that the pressure was very heavy, and after Sun Quan captured Guangling, the Jiangdong army was unstoppable.

On the other side of Sheyang County, Chen Su, the son of General Fubo, received the bad news from his father Chen Deng, and was so sad that he cried and fainted on the couch several times.

But Zhao Cheng, the county lieutenant beside him, persuaded, "Now that the son is still not crying, the general's wife and sister-in-law are still in Guangling City, and the Jiangdong Army has always been unkind."

If the prince does not immediately lead the troops to recapture Guangling, I am afraid that the innocence of the general's wife and sister-in-law will not be guaranteed, and the sister-in-law still has the blood of the son in her belly, how can she be humiliated? ”

When Chen Su heard this, the hatred in his heart increased greatly, "The eldest husband is in the world, protecting the court and protecting the people." Sun Thief An dared to bully my Chen family like this. ”

And Sun Quan actually didn't make any arrangements for the daughters of the Chen family, but just confined all the people in one place, and Qiao Wei made the arrangements.

Qiao Wei actually couldn't bear to give these female dependents to his subordinates as objects, so he asked those female dependents what he meant.

Those who are willing to remarry will remarry, and those who are unwilling will not be forced.

But most of the female dependents who were confiscated, the family was full of men who had died in battle, and some with children did not have much means of livelihood, and remarriage was the way for them to survive in this troubled world.

Qiao Wei let Zhou Gu take away the female relatives who were willing to remarry, and only a few female relatives were unwilling to remarry, so Qiao Wei had to send people out of the barracks and let them go home.

Only one young woman, surnamed Qian, was neither willing to remarry nor leave the barracks.

Qiao Wei felt strange, "Then what do you want?" ”

"I want to take my father-in-law's corpse."

"Who?"

"General Fubo, Guangling Taishou Chen Deng." Qian reported to the court.

Qiao Wei didn't know who she was talking about at first, but no matter who it was, the corpse had already been burned, and if the Qian family had to ask for it, I was afraid that she would only be able to grab a handful of broken bones or ashes that had not been burned clean and give it to her.

When Qian heard that the corpse had been burned, he bit his lower lip, his eyes were red, "Crushing bones and scattering ashes, Sun thief, you dare to do this!" ”

Qiao Wei understood her emotions, after all, for the ancients, even after death, the whole body had to be kept to preserve the last dignity and dignity.

For the Qian family, Chen Deng is a family member, but for Qiao Wei, Chen Deng is an enemy, and there is no need for her to leave any affection for her enemies.

Because on both sides on the battlefield, there is never a win-win situation, only a life-and-death fight and a life-and-death struggle.

Qiao Wei looked at her bulging lower abdomen, and there was still a little pity in her heart, but now she only had a cold tone, "If you win the Guangling Army today, can you still retain a posthumous dignity for the soldiers of my Jiangdong Army?" ”

Qiao Wei had personally seen the soldiers after the war, and in order to compete for military merits, they would not hesitate to cut off their right ears, noses or scalps from the corpses of enemy soldiers.

If burning their bodies is a refusal to preserve their dignity after death, then isn't it righteous that those who cut off their bodies did not keep their whole bodies for them?

Qian couldn't help but choke.

Qiao Wei asked Youye to inform Sun Quan of Qian's identity and see how to arrange it, and soon Youye came back with Sun Quan's answer, "Gongzi said that if the Qian family is unwilling to remarry, he will directly enter the military camp. ”

When Qian heard this answer, where was he willing!

She didn't even want to remarry, how could she be willing to enter the military camp and become a woman that the soldiers could summon at will.

She suddenly rushed towards Qiao Wei, Qiao Wei turned over and dodged her impact, and Youye immediately controlled the person with his backhand.

Qian was still shouting, "My husband will come to avenge us soon, you grandson thieves will not end well, you have wasted your lives and are inhumane." ”

She spat at Qiao Wei fiercely.

Qiao Wei just looked at her indifferently, "Born in this era, everyone has their own last resort, and on the battlefield, no one has the so-called justice." ”

As long as the war is together, no one dares to say that they stand on the side of absolute justice, and the so-called justice is also mixed with their own selfish desires and interests.

Otherwise, military strategists would not have to play any tricks of "being famous", and Cao Cao would not have to always hold the banner of "coercing the Son of Heaven to order not to obey", and would not let go even if there were many inconveniences.

In the face of war, everyone wants to survive, and only those who survive are qualified to write the history of the victors and speak in the name of "justice".

As for whether there is a good end, Qiao Wei can't think of the future, she just wants to live a good life, she told Sun Quan Qian's words, "I also asked Bian Hong, it was the original Chen Deng's partial general, and now it is Ji Bi's partial general, he said that Chen Deng has a son named Chen Su, and half a month ago Chen Deng sent him to Sheyang to inspect the granary on his behalf." ”

With the words of the Qian family confirmed here, as long as Chen Su learned the news of the fall of Guangling, he would definitely raise troops to attack immediately.

While the two were talking, they heard Gan Ning rushing all the way to report, "General, the sentry is in the northeast direction, and there is an army approaching, and the banner of the word 'Chen' is on it. ”

Qiao Wei and Sun Quan immediately understood that it should be Chen Su.

"How many soldiers?"

"About a thousand." Ganning quickly replied, "There are still about five hundred paces to our side, and there are about three hundred light horsemen, and archers and infantry are close behind. ”

Heavy cavalry usually wears some armor for horses, while light cavalry does not, and the armor used is lighter, and the main focus is on agility.

Sun Quan has only been in the city for five days, and all kinds of equipment on the city wall have not yet been fully deployed, and Chen Su must have the best understanding of the situation in the city.

Qiao Wei followed Sun Quan up to the city wall, and sure enough, the light horse was already approaching the distance of a hundred steps from the city wall, and the bow and arrow in his hand and ...... Qiao Wei looked at something like a small wine jar, and the rushing car behind him also followed.

Sun Quan immediately beat the war drums, and Zhou Tai immediately got the order and quickly organized a crossbow team to go to the city wall.

Guangling County belongs to Xuzhou, Guangling City is not a county, according to the Han Dynasty etiquette requirements, the height of the city wall can not exceed five meters, according to modern calculations, that is, the height of two floors.

The light cavalry easily threw the jar onto the wall, and the jar fell to the ground and quickly exploded, causing sparks to fly on the wall.

Qiao Wei exclaimed, "It's wine and fire!" ”
