Chapter 108: Disheartened (1)

The spring lanterns are like snow soaking the boat, and they do not carry the slightest worry in the south of the Yangtze River. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info who believes in looking for spring this madman, a tea and a side to Yangzhou.

Due to the special geographical environment, convenient waterways and extensive accessibility of Yangzhou, it has been at its peak as early as the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, and literati and scholars, rich gentry and businessmen are even more flocking to it.

At this time, Yangzhou has been occupied by Yang Jian's army!

It turned out that after Wu Mingche lost the last battle with Yang Jian, Nan Chen was in a slump, and there was a serious shortage of soldiers, and it happened to be a rainstorm in the sky, and all the officers and soldiers of the prefecture and county were transferred to control the flood and resettle the victims, so they still had the energy to fight against Yang Jian's army of more than 100,000! Even Yang Jian himself did not expect that Yangzhou City would be captured so smoothly.

The next step is to attack Jiankang, at this time their momentum is like a rainbow, and Nan Chen is mourning all over the field, presumably they can capture Jiankang City in one go!

And Xiao Yichen has been waiting for this day for sixteen years!

Seeing that the revenge was about to be avenged, Xiao Yichen's heart was like an angry wave, with ups and downs.

From early morning to late afternoon, Xiao Yichen went back and forth to the barracks several times, checking weapons, grain and grass, and reminding the soldiers to cheer up and prepare to end Nan Chen's rule.

Those soldiers obeyed him, because the newly recruited soldiers in the past two years were all trained by him alone, Xiao Yichen can be said to be their "master" again, and he treats them fairly on weekdays, rewards and punishments are clear, and he never behaves properly, and completely mingles with them.

Moreover, at this time, many lieutenants and lieutenants in the army were trained from Xiao Yichen, and it can also be said that Xiao Yichen was single-handedly raised, and it was bizarre that Xiao Yichen had a high prestige in the army.

Han Baohu and Yang Lin were a little unhappy when they saw this, they talked about it intentionally or unintentionally, but Yang Jian smiled and ignored it, so they didn't talk anymore, so as not to "provoke fire".

At this time, Xiao Yichen was counting the number of arrows, but he saw He Ruobi coming over and said, "Brother Xiao, the eldest brother has something to discuss with you." ”

Xiao Yichen smiled slightly and said, "Oh, are you discussing the matter of attacking Jiankang City?"

He Ruobi grinned, patted him on the shoulder and said, "I don't know the specifics, but eight or nine are not far from ten!"

Xiao Yichen nodded and said, "Well, let's go over!" He then said to a deputy general on the side: "You continue to count the number." ”

"Yes!"

When the two of them arrived at the office of Jiankang Mansion, they saw that Yang Jian, Gao Ying, Yang Lin, and Han Baohu seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and the wide mahogany round table in front of them was already full of wine and food at this time.

Xiao Yichen joked at this time: "Everyone, are you eating celebration wine in advance?"

But he saw Yang Lin and Han Baohu smiling awkwardly at him, and the eyes of the eldest brother Yang Jian and Gao Ying didn't dare to look directly at him as if they were dodging, and he faintly felt that something bad had happened in his heart when he saw this.

He looked back at He Ruobi, who also scratched his head in confusion.

Xiao Yichen pulled out a chair and sat down at this time, glanced at Yang Jian and the others, and said, "Everyone must have something to say to me, so let's get straight to the point!

He Ruobi also sat down next to him at this time, and echoed again and again: "Yes, big brother, what's wrong with you today, if you have anything to say, just say it quickly, it looks weird and panicked!"

Yang Jian glanced at He Ruobi at this time, and then gestured to Gao Ying with his eyes, the latter understood, but at this time, he saw Gao Ying get up and come to Xiao Yichen and suddenly knelt down.

Xiao Yichen and He Ruobi were both shocked when they saw this, Xiao Yichen hurriedly got up and wanted to help him up, but Gao Ying shook his head and said, "Brother Xiao, don't worry about me first, I want to ask you for one thing, if you can agree, I won't be too late to get up." ”

Xiao Yichen knew that he would not kneel down for no reason, presumably what he asked for was not a difficult thing, but it was also a tricky thing for him.

Xiao Yichen stopped helping him up at this time, glanced at him and said, "Okay, you talk about it first." ”

Gao Ying looked at Yang Jian at this time, and the latter nodded slightly to him.

So Gao Ying spoke: "Brother Xiao, this matter is extremely unfair to you...."

He Ruobi couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, his eyes widened, and Xiao Yichen was also short of breath, he gritted his teeth and nodded at Gao Ying, signaling him to continue.

Gao Ying looked at Xiao Yichen, took a deep breath and said: "Two hours ago, we received an order from the emperor, they have already sent troops to attack the Northern Qi at this time, I hope we will slow down the war here first, the two soldiers will be combined into one, and the Northern Qi will be solved first and then attack the Southern Chen!

He wanted to say, "I hope you can agree to withdraw the troops", but seeing Xiao Yichen's eyes wide at this time, it was quite unacceptable.

Gao Ying said again at this time: "Yes, I know that the Nan Chen Yu Xiao brothers can be said to have a deep blood feud, but if we don't join the Northern Zhou army at this time, it will be disrespectful to the will, and we will inevitably wait at that time..."

At this point, he paused.

But he saw that Xiao Yichen was pinching his finger bones at this time, he was originally worried about whether he would kill or not kill the royal family of the Chen Dynasty after destroying Nan Chen, and finally he also persuaded himself to put aside his personal grievances and destroy Nan Chen to avenge the blood feud of his parents, as for the Nan Chen royal family, they could be exiled!

Who knew that God would actually play such a joke with him, then the efforts and blood and sweat he had made in the past three years would be in vain.

Seeing his painful appearance at this time, He Ruobi couldn't help but slap the table and scolded: "What kind of bullshit emperor is his grandmother, since we have already hit Nan Chen's feet, and we are about to win, he came to intervene, I don't understand it at all....!

Seeing that he was still scolding there, Han Baohu and Yang Lin glanced at Yang Jian at this time, and said to him: "Pay attention to Lao He when you speak." ”

He Ruobi came again at this time, and couldn't help glaring at the two of them angrily, wanting to go back, but suddenly saw Yang Jian on the side glance at him, and there was a lot of reproach in his eyes, so he tried to calm himself down.

At this time, Gao Ying, who was still kneeling on the ground, turned his head and seemed to explain to He Ruobi: "There are only a few of us brothers in this house, I might as well say it directly, Brother He, you are right, this emperor Lao'er just doesn't want us to destroy Nan Chen, because he doesn't want us to do this miracle, he wants to do it himself, and when the time comes, it will be passed on for generations to come, so that future generations will admire it!"

Hearing this, He Ruobi couldn't help but slam the table again, spilling a lot of soup and water on the table, and scolded: "This bastard old man is extremely shameless!"

If these words are heard by outsiders, they will inevitably be widely implicated, but several people in the room are lifelong friends, so they are naturally not afraid of being heard by outsiders.

Yang Jian didn't blame him for talking nonsense at this time, and got up and walked beside Xiao Yichen, who was still standing there with a chaotic mind.

And bowed to him and said, "Brother Xiao, I know that you are very uncomfortable at this time, and if this matter rests on me, it will be difficult for me to choose..."

Xiao Yichen looked at Yang Jian at this time, his eyes were still complicated and inexplicable, but the sense of loss on his face was very obvious.

Yang Jian looked at him and said: "Brother Xiao is also in your hands at this time, and those soldiers can also be said to be obedient to you, if you want to attack Nan Chen now, then let it go!

"Big brother...."Yang Lin and Han Baohu were both shocked when they heard this, and wanted to dissuade them, but they were stopped by Yang Jian raising his hand.

At this time, I saw Xiao Yichen raise his head and laugh twice, but the laughter contained endless pain and loneliness, and the five people in the room also felt bad in their hearts when they heard this.

But the next time, he saw Xiao Yichen suddenly lift Gao Ying up, and took out the talisman from his arms and put it in Yang Jian's hand and said: "The eldest brother treats me with deep affection, and the younger brother understands it, how can I ignore the lives of several brothers? This talisman is now returned to you, I am sleepy and want to rest!"

It turned out that Yang Jian had handed over to him the talisman that commanded the whole army in order for him to better train the soldiers.

After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked out, leaving the five people in the house standing on the ground in a daze....

The next day, on the Jinluan Palace in Jiankang City, the civil and military officials and the Nan Chen Emperor Chen were all terrified, and they all felt that the end had come, and many officials had moved the idea of escaping with their families, but they were called to the court from the end of the ugly time.

Chen Ji ordered them to brainstorm and find a way to defend against the enemy, but the civil and military officials were all unable to answer, so angry that he was furious, he wanted to kill a few officials to see if they had a countermeasure, but he held back.

He also secretly said in his heart, "Yes, now that the army is seriously insufficient, and it has also suffered a once-in-a-century flood, it seems that the sky is going to kill my Chen Dynasty..."

Chen Ji missed Wu Mingche a little at this time, although he was a little arrogant, but if he was there, he would not sit still.

But the next time, I saw another eunuch rushing in and said, "Report, report..."

Chen Ji and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs were all shocked, thinking that Yang Jian and they had come in.

I saw that his tongue was also knotted at this time: "Here, what the hell is going on, hurry, hurry!"

The eunuch kowtowed to the ground and said, "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor!"

This country is about to die, I don't know where the joy comes from?

Chen Ji slapped the dragon chair angrily and said: "Bold minion, you actually dare to entertain me, come here!

"Yes!" the imperial guard commanded, and the eunuch was about to be pulled down and beheaded.

Frightened, the eunuch said like a cannon commander in his mouth: "General Xiao Mo Kexiao sent news that the Northern Zhou army had withdrawn, and in order to prevent them from returning, he still sent troops to guard outside the imperial city, and the emperor was gracious...."

"What!" Chen Ji thought he had misheard, and hurriedly ordered the guard to take him back.

I saw Chen Ji get off the dragon chair at this time, ran to the eunuch's side and said, "What did you just say?"

The eunuch couldn't guess what he was thinking, and at this time he was terrified: "I, I said that the Northern Zhou Dynasty has withdrawn its troops!"

"Haha...."

When Chen Ji heard this, he couldn't help but laugh on his back, and sat on the dragon chair again, and those ministers all fell to the ground and praised at this time: "My emperor is blessed with Qitian, the enemy soldiers are not afraid to retreat, and the Chen Dynasty will definitely be able to last for thousands of generations..."

"Ah, haha...."Chen Ji couldn't help laughing when he heard this, but then he saw him again: "Order someone to send an order to Xiao Moke, just say that I have specially appointed him as a hussar general today, and ordered him to command the whole army to report the safety of the imperial city!"

"Yes!" immediately the imperial guards took the order and left.
