Chapter 673
"If anyone dares to refuse to follow, he will be killed without mercy!"
The cold words were like a steel knife inserted into Shen Pei's heart. Shen Tu suddenly felt as if he had been completely abandoned by this world.
He has been experiencing this beloved mountain and river for decades, but in the end he is still as swaying like duckweed drifting in the sea. The people around him come and go like crucian carp trees, but none of them are his like-minded people.
He watched Prince Chenliu, Fu Wan and others step over him and leave Xingjie. A mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth. Shen Pei raised his hand tremblingly and pointed at Chen Gong's shadow and cursed: "Chen Gongtai, you profit-oriented villain, your move to drive the sheep and swallow the tiger is to cut off my great man's aura. Wouldn't you be afraid of retribution in the future?"
Drive the sheep and swallow the tiger?
After biting the word "sheep", Chen Gong paused slightly, his face became increasingly ugly. There was no trace of joy of victory or about to win, but instead showed a grayish complexion.
However, he had to admit that the word "sheep" must be used correctly.
Since China occupied the Central Plains, how many foreign races have wanted to rely on the sharpness of military weapons to enter our Chinese territory, and how many barbarians want to invade our land of China with the agility of war horses? In their eyes, the people who work hard and endure humiliation in China are their slaves and their food, and they even gave me the border people a very insulting title "two-legged sheep".
Chen Gong is not a grasslander. He dares and will not treat his fellow villagers like animals. However, when the king and father are facing death and the country is about to change their ownership, he will still put the people last.
Although he will lose his life and be led by his conscience, and may even be pulled down from the legendary Avici Hell by a bull head and horse face, he has no choice. Who makes the people a sheep that can only be slaughtered but dare not resist?
"Brother Zhengnan said it is right. Chen has indeed taken a path of no return. However, it is not a matter of worrying about Chen's life. Chen knows that he is guilty. No matter what the final result of this battle, Chen will die to thank the world!"
Seeing that Prince Chenliu had already left, Chen Gong took the opportunity to fall behind and turned his head toward Shen Pei, and his eyes were filled with tears. "I am very honored to be able to have a fight with Brother Zhengnan. I also ask Brother Zhengnan to take care of his health and leave a useful body to extend his life for several years for the Han Dynasty!" �
Alas, it’s all the remnants of the late emperor and Emperor Huan!
Looking at Chen Gong's lonely back, Shen Pei's screams and scolding were blocked in his throat, and a line of clear tears flowed through his eyes and flowed down his cheeks. For the first time in his life, he doubted the idea of "loyal ministers will not serve the second masters" that had already penetrated into his bones.
...
"Deputy General Yao, you will lead the troops of a school and the selected three thousand young and strong people to guard the east gate of Xiangping, and there must be no mistakes!
"Deputy General Qin, Captain Tian, oh, now he should be called Deputy General Tian. The tasks of you two are the same as those of Deputy General Yao, and you will also divide the troops into one school and lead three thousand strong people to take charge of the two city gates in the north and south!"
"As for the Ximen in Xiangping, I think this sect will face Wang Li's army directly, and must be the general who can stand alone. Xianfu, you were born in a noble family and had military affairs. In the past, you also followed Yuan Gong to fight south and north, so I will entrust Ximen to you with full authority. Be sure to ensure that Ximen is always in our hands!"
The next evening, with tens of thousands of soldiers scattered to Xiangping and Xinchang counties "escorted" a group of ordinary people to the city, Chen Gong, the first adviser under the throne of Chenliu County, had already begun his deployment or performance.
However, Sun Tzu's Art of War tells us: "Therefore, he used five things to solve them, and asked for their feelings: one is Tao, two is heaven, three is earth, four is general, and five is law."
Under Chen Gong's suggestion, Prince Chenliu drove the people of Liaodong to defend the city. Except for the heaven and earth still on their side, the way, the generals and the law were all standing on Wang Li's side. Can Chen Gong and others really hold a dead city to defend?
"Report! Report to Your Majesty, Military Advisor: The spy came to report. The generals under Wang Li, Taishi Ci, Zhang Nan and Jiao Chu, each led three thousand troops to rush towards Xiangping. It was only about five miles away!" Yuan Shang and Deputy General Yao had just received the order, and another scout, Chu Fei, who had just appointed, broke into the county yard.
"Wang Li didn't lead the troops in person?" Prince Chenliu was happy when he heard this, and hurriedly helped Chu Fei up and asked.
Chen Gong felt a little shocked for no reason. He had heard of the reputation of Donglai Taishi Ci in the Central Plains.
Back then, Taishici, with a red tassel spear and a fallen bow, was like a man who entered a no-man's land. He was so cruel that he made Wang Li praising him, "A horse crosses the encirclement, and an angry arrow roars the west wind."
Now, Wang Li did not participate in the battle to destroy the "Nation" in Liaodong, but directly entrusted him to Taishi Ci. It seems that Taishi Ci is definitely not a famous person. He must be a hard bone that will break even if he bites his teeth. This battle will be fought.
"Your Majesty, that Taishi Ci had fought with Jiangdong Shi'er for seventy or eighty rounds. I'm afraid he is also a powerful general no less than Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun. Please be careful!" Before Chen Gong could speak, the captain had already advised Prince Chenliu, and even had a look of respect in his eyes.
Obviously, this lieutenant should be a person who is more familiar with Taishi Ci.
Chen Gong hurriedly asked, "Captain Chu, there are so many powerful generals under Wang Deyu's tent. Why do you praise Taishi Ci alone?"
"It's not Chu who only recommended Taishi Ci, but it's actually not a single powerful general under Wang Li's tent. " Chu Fei shook his head and sighed slightly, "I'm not hiding the fact that Chu is from Donglai, and even met Taishi Ci several years ago, so he just had a little understanding of him!"
"Since the general has a relationship with Taishi Ci, do you think he can be used by me?"
When Prince Chenliu heard that Chu Fei and Taishi Ci were former Donglai friends, a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes. However, he also knew that the fire was burning to his eyebrows now, and it was not the time when he was calculating with his generals.
Therefore, the haze came and went faster. In the blink of an eye, Prince Chenliu made a decision, which promoted Chu Fei several levels to make Chu Fei take a rocket, become a general, and become the fastest promoted person in Liaodong.
However, Prince Chenliu's charming eyes were vain, and this old friend of Taishi Ci did not appreciate his affection.
Chu Fei shook his head and said, "Please ask Your Majesty to prepare for defending the city as soon as possible. This fellow general of the last general has always been aware of the truth. Once he believes that the lord is even eighteen cows, he cannot pull him back. Otherwise, how could Wang Li call him the best righteous man in the world!"
"The general is right. Even if Taishi Ci doesn't believe it, I'm afraid that he will not want to put his value on my broken ship when he sees my current situation!" Prince Chenliu sighed slightly and waved his hand at Chu Fei, with a bitter smile on his face.
"Those who accomplish great things must be calm. It is because I am attached to the court. Too much thought and good generals have messed up the rules. The most important thing at the moment is Xiangping's defense. If all the generals and ministers are not like, please follow me to climb up to the city and watch it, and see my Liaodong soldiers and the people's determination to perish with the city!"
