Chapter 358 Disappointment(1/2)
July 25, early morning.
Han general Li Xin led his army to attack Luoyi, the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, triggering riots in the city. The rebels burned the Spring and Autumn Palace, and the palace collapsed... The emperor collapsed!
King Ji Lie of Wei and King Ji Ye of Qi hurriedly gathered 30,000 imperial troops to guard and protect some members of the clan. They escaped from Baihumen and fled to Yizhou.
Li Xin's troops were stationed alone in Luoyi City, unable to divide their troops to pursue...
July twenty-seven.
The king of Luoyi, Jian's army, rushed to the rescue at starry night. After receiving the news that the city of Luoyi had been destroyed, they turned north at Chenggao and retreated to the Hanoi camp.
Chen Sheng's troops who were chasing Wang Jian's army were able to advance straight into Luoyi.
The first day of August.
Chen Sheng led the army into Luoyi City.
…
The commander's flag with the character "Chen" raised high, and the army slowly entered the city from the Qinglong Gate in the East.
The nine-foot-five-foot-high city wall stretches for dozens of miles, towering like a cliff. It's hard not to feel humble and insignificant when one stands under it.
The houses in the city are scattered in an orderly manner, the streets are straight and symmetrical, and the yellowing green bricks and black tiles with the traces of time give people a very comfortable sense of harmony, as if they were exhausted after being laid out.
Smooth old objects.
The ancient but not decayed, thick but not flashy charm that permeates the whole city is like a plump, dignified beauty...
Except for the frequent appearances of Bai Ling and Xiao Yi, who were a bit eye-catching, everything in Luoyi made Chen Sheng feel great!
"The last general, Li Xin (Chen Dao), pays homage to the king. Long live my king!"
"Long live my king!"
A group of red-coated generals who had been lining up in the city for a long time saw the commander-in-chief flag with the word "Chen" entering the city, and they all clasped their fists and saluted.
The layers of short soldiers separated to both sides. Chen Sheng got off his horse, strode up to the two of them, helped them up with his own hands, and laughed heartily and said: "Our Han Dynasty can win a great victory in this battle, the two of them will win."
The general deserves the first credit!"
After a pause, he raised his head again, looked at the generals behind the two men, and said seriously: "It's all thanks to the bravery of all the kings and the fighting with all their strength that the royal court can break out of this tight siege. On behalf of the millions of fellow villagers in my family, I
, first of all, thank you for your contribution in the bloody battle!"
As he spoke, he ignored his stomach and pinched his palms to fight the dozens of soldiers behind him.
When all the generals and commanders saw this, they were all shocked and overjoyed. They felt that all the hardships of fighting thousands of miles alone were gone with the wind, leaving only pride and glory filling their hearts!
They also clenched their palms and bowed, shouting at the top of their lungs: "I am willing to die for the king, and I am willing to be the vanguard of the royal court!"
This scene, not to mention the countless red-coated soldiers who were on guard duty around them, were so excited after seeing this scene that they couldn't help themselves.
Even the tens of thousands of Luoyi people who crowded on both sides of the long street were somewhat silent after seeing him.
Isn't this what the sages preached about "the monarch and his ministers get along well with each other"?
But it undoubtedly made them feel ridiculed, because such virtue actually appeared in a rebel army...
Chen Sheng asked many generals to stand up, then he personally led two horses over and invited them to ride together.
The two of them were neither willing nor dared, but how could they defeat Chen Sheng? They had no choice but to get on their horses and drive their horses alongside Chen Sheng.
"Tell me about it later!"
Chen Sheng rode the war horse and said with a smile on his face: "How did you fight this battle?"
Of course he had seen the battle report of the battle to break the city a long time ago, but how could the battle report clearly explain it in a few words in a battle where a small number of people defeated a large number?
The more amazing the weapon, the more technical content lies in the details!
Chen Sheng felt that this battle was enough to join the teaching staff of Jixia Academy.
Faced with Chen Sheng's request.
Li Xin agreed wholeheartedly, feeling indescribably excited!
Chen Dao, on the other hand, seemed to be worried and worried. He didn't know how to tell Chen Sheng the news of Chen Xiaoliu'er's death in battle.
If Chen Xiaoliuer was a soldier on the battlefield, that would be fine. There is nothing foolproof about fighting on the battlefield. Even he himself was mentally prepared to never go back every time he put on armor and went into battle.
However, Chen Xiaoliuer died not from the swordsmanship on the battlefield, but from the backlash of Zhou Zhou's national destiny, from bearing the eternal infamy for the eldest brother Chen Sheng...
How does this teach him how to speak?
Chen Sheng did not notice anything unusual about Chen Dao.
Until this moment, he was still immersed in the joy of victory.
Even though he walked all the way and saw white silk filial piety clothes all the way, even though he knew that these white silk filial piety clothes were the people of Luoyi voluntarily observing filial piety for the young emperor, he didn't take it to heart at all.
Until an old Confucian with white hair and a high official diploma stood on the side of the street, tearing apart the red-coated soldiers in front of him who were blocking him from rushing to the center of the long street. His beard was swollen, and he roared filial piety towards Chen Sheng at the top of his lungs: "'Chaos
Chen Zeizi', everyone will find it and kill him!"
As soon as he said this, the red-coated soldier, who had shown no signs of anger despite being torn apart by him, became furious on the spot. He raised his hand and punched him hard on the cheek, knocking out half of his old teeth on the spot.
Chen Sheng's face also became a little gloomy. He knew the reputation of "Chaotic Chen Thief".
But this was the first time someone dared to insult him with this name in front of him!
And it was on such a happy occasion to cause trouble for him in front of so many people!
He reined in his horse and watched with a cold face as the red-coated soldiers pushed the old girl to the ground and beat and kicked him.
The old boy was very stubborn, even though his teeth had been knocked out, he still kept cursing.
The red-coated soldiers who just beat him never gave him a chance to say a complete sentence...
Thousands of Luoyi people crowded at both ends of the long street saw a faint commotion when they saw this.
When Ji Bu, who was leading the army, saw this, he raised his left hand high and made a fist gesture.
In an instant, more than 40,000 red-coated soldiers all raised their spears and stomped the ground heavily.
The cold and murderous atmosphere swept across the long street along with the neat and vigorous sound of stamping on the ground!
Thousands of people in Luoyi who were commotion seemed to have been poured down by a basin of ice water. They immediately stopped and retreated outside the blockade without being seen or heard...
The red-coated soldier who was punching and kicking the old child saw that persuasion and education were useless, so he simply pulled out the short knife from his waist with one hand and twisted the old child's bun with the other hand, hoping to deepen the persuasion and education.
At this moment, Chen Sheng finally said: "Bring it here!"
The red-coated soldier did not hesitate. Although the short knife in his hand had already reached the base of the old child's neck, he still retracted the short blade in an instant, grabbed the old child's bun, and dragged the old child to death like a pig.
He dragged him in front of Chen Sheng and threw him hard, clasping his fists solemnly and saying: "Your Majesty, I'll bring you here!"
Chen Sheng glanced at him, the gloomy look on his face slightly relieved.
Li Xin, who was on the side with an equally gloomy face, noticed this detail and took a serious look at the soldier, remembering his appearance in his mind.
"Looking at you, you are also a scholar, right?"
Chen Sheng stroked the horse's mane and asked casually.
"Pooh!"
The old boy with a bruised nose and swollen face spat out a mouthful of blood with teeth in his teeth, and said disdainfully: "I don't change my name when I'm in public service, and I don't change my surname when I sit down. This is how Gongsun Ji is a disciple of the saint!"
Chen Sheng smiled indifferently, pointed at the old boy and said to the red-coated soldier beside him: "Teach him how to speak human language!"
After hearing this, the red-coated soldier raised his forty-two-sized foot without hesitation and stomped the old girl on the mouth!
The old boy let out a cry of pain, opened his mouth and spit out his two front teeth.
Chen Sheng looked at him with a smile: "Are you willing to talk properly?"
The old boy covered his mouth and didn't answer, but there was still resentment in his eyes.
Chen Sheng sighed softly when he saw this, shook his head helplessly and said: "This is what annoys you idiots the most. When I want to reason with you, you insist on using my sword. I use my sword with you, and you don't?"
Come and reason with me... if you co-author it, you will suffer a loss if you don't take advantage, right?"
"You said that I, Chen Sheng, am a 'rebellious minister', then tell me, how can I, Chen Sheng, be a 'rebellious' and a 'thief'?"
"Please make it clear. If you can't tell me clearly, I will punish you for slander!"
He was still smiling, but his tone was as cold as his breath turned to frost.
Faced with this rare opportunity to expose Chen Sheng's true identity as a rebellious minister in front of thousands of people, the old boy put down his hand covering his mouth and shouted hoarsely: "You are a minister of Zhou, acting as the emperor's minister."
Guard a county,
Instead of being loyal to the king and serving the country, you instead raise an army to stand on your own. This is chaos. As a Zhou citizen, you don't think about drinking water and remembering its source. You feel the kindness of the ancestors of the past kings who worked long hours and slept late at night, and slept late at night. Instead, you sent troops to attack the capital city and burned the emperor's bed and carriage.
With a torch, this is a thief!"
"How can I say a word of slander about the name of a rebellious minister and a traitor?"
His beard and hair were sprouting, and his face was full of blue veins. He was roaring angrily. It could be said that every word was bloody and every word was heart-wrenching!
"If you want to incriminate yourself, why bother?"
Chen Sheng said with a smile, his eyes as cold as the depths of winter: "It's not just a day or two that you old men slandered me, today I will retaliate to you one by one!"
To be continued...
