Chapter 162 The Power of the Horns (Subscribe)

After noon, Xiang Liang led his children to Tuoxian County.

Chen Sheng led his generals Shili to greet him.

When Xiang's banner appeared far away at the end of the horse path, he saw a horse galloping towards him, and he laughed from a distance: "A certain Xiangliang, is my nephew Chen Shengshi here?"

The knight on the horse is majestic; the laughter is like rolling thunder, hearty and heroic.

Standing under the handsome flag "Chen", Chen Sheng heard the voice of the person who came, and greeted him with a smile on his face: "Uncle Shi can come, little nephew is not very happy!"

Two horses staggered, Qi Qi Le horse.

"Hahaha!"

Xiang Liang patted Chen Sheng's shoulder and laughed: "What nonsense are you talking about! There are outsiders who want to bully you, can Uncle Shi not come?"

Chen Sheng smiled and clasped his hands: "Uncle Shi's love for helping out, my nephew will remember it in my heart!"

"Hey, you son of a bitch, you are so polite... Yes, your body is strong and your spirit is strong!"

When Xiang Liang saw this, he patted his shoulder vigorously again in great dissatisfaction. The power was so great that Chen Sheng, even his horse and his hand, trembled with his palm.

The rear is under the banner of Chen Zishuai.

Chen Dao, Zhao Si and the others, their brows twitched along with Xiang Liang's palm.

Zhao Si: "Domineering exposed!"

Chen Dao: "It doesn't matter whether it is primary or secondary!"

The expressions of the two were slightly gloomy.

It was as if Xiang Liang's palm was not on Chen Sheng's shoulder.

but their faces.

Fan Zeng put his hands together, looked at Chen Sheng and Xiang Liang who were still chatting in front of him with a smile, and said softly, "When looking at problems, you can't just look at performance."

Chen Dao and Zhao Si looked at him sideways.

Fan Zeng did not change his smile and said unhurriedly: "The problems you can think of, your Majesty and this General Xiang can naturally also think of."

"General Xiang's gesture is to express to the emperor that his Xiang's army is here for the friendship of the world, not the order of the emperor."

"And the attitude of the king is to inform this general Xiang that he has taken the friendship of Xiang's family, and admits that the Xiang's army is a guest army and has nothing to do with our army."

"These words, the old man should not have said, it is suspected of offending the emperor."

"However, the two generals are both ministers and confidants of the emperor. If the old man's words can make the two jump out of the fence and expand their horizons, the emperor will blame them, and the old man will be happy."

Chen Dao and Zhao Si slowly opened their eyes, and silently looked at Chen Sheng and Xiang Liang who were still chatting and laughing like their uncle and nephew.

Then Qi Qi turned back and glanced at Fan Zeng who was smiling beside him.

After a while, the two talents together clasped their fists and cupped hands to Fan Zeng, sighing, "Thank you for your teachings."

Fan Zeng waved his hand casually and said with a chuckle, "You two generals are very polite. From now on, we will all serve as ministers under the command of the emperor. The foundation of the emperor is in the initial stage, and we should work together to help the emperor. It is to make achievements and build a career!"

The two held hands together: "Dare to obey!"

……

After dark.

Chen Sheng finally received the report from the horse scouts who entered Qiaojun from Xinyang and Ruyin. He said that the Yellow Turban Army had conquered Mengcheng in Qiaojun.

After further investigation, it was found that the distance from Mengcheng to Qiaoxian was about [-] li.

Chen Sheng raised his tent overnight and summoned the generals in the army to discuss countermeasures.

In the end, it was decided that the whole army would take two days, and two days later, raise the army to the south.

……

midnight.

Inside the tent of the Central Army of the Tusui Army in Mengcheng, the lights were still bright.

Dozens of rough-faced, rambunctious yellow turban generals divided the school into two sides of the large tent.

The sound of toasting, one after another, and the screams and laughter of the women outside the tent, intertwined into a cruel and chaotic scene of a group of demons dancing wildly.

On the tent, Tu Sui, who was over forty years old, had a bushy beard, and was as strong as a human tiger, was served by two beautiful girls whose waist was not as thick as his arms. The golden lamb leg was made and sent to his big mouth to tear it apart, and most of the meat was lost.

In front of him, there is also a beautiful and luxuriously dressed [-]-year-old girl kneeling. The girl unbuttoned her clothes and held his stinking fluffy bare feet in her arms, drooping down. with tears.

"Cry, cry, cry, cry your mother and father are dead!"

Tu Sui was annoyed by the girl's crying, so he picked up a bowl and smashed it on the girl's head, and scolded violently: "Daughter of the district magistrate, how can I humiliate you by serving a certain family?"

The girl's head was bleeding, she fell to the ground and cried out in pain, calling for her father and mother.

Tu Sui became more and more impatient, grabbed the big wine, and threw it on the girl's head.

The wine was shattered and blood splattered.

The girl who was still wailing and wailing a second ago lost her life immediately, and her beautiful face was scratched like a ghost by the fragments of Jiucheng.

When the generals in the tent saw this, they raised their wine bottles and shouted loudly, "The commander is mighty!"

"Big handsome and majestic!"

"He's so handsome!"

Tu Sui wiped the oil and water stains on his hands in the arms of the maid beside him, picked up the wine bottle, and said with a smile, "Two or three sons, drink this cup full!"

"Respect, Master!"

"Respect, Master!"

timely.

A messenger bowed in, knelt down on one knee and said, "Reporting to the commander, the former army reported that the vanguard army was ambushed in Tuo County, Chenjun, and the entire army died."

"Boom."

Tu Sui lifted the food table in front of him, suddenly got up, and said angrily: "Shuzi is incompetent, tired of my son!"

The generals in the tent were also stunned by this news, and it was not until Tu Sui's voice fell that he threw away the beauty in his arms.

After taking a few deep breaths with red eyes, Tu Sui said angrily, "He Fang rat, kill my son?"

The messenger replied: "Return to the commander, according to the report of the vanguard and remnants, the person who ambushed was called 'Chen', and it should be the soldiers and horses under the command of the county governor of Chen County!"

Tu Sui twitched two thick eyebrows that were messy like weeds: "Chen Junjun, is Xiong Wan?"

The general school under the tent responded by hearing the sound: "Commander, the county governor of Chen Jun is no longer the Xiong clan, and the last general has a relationship with the son of the Qu clan. I have heard him say, but now the governor of Chen Jun is named Chen Sheng, who is not yet crowned. The son of the pawn, a person who is not allowed to sit on the table, but I do not know what despicable means to seize the position of the Xiong Clan's Chen County Governor, and the Qu Clan had previously invited Wu Mo's team to enter Chen to assassinate this scorpion, but unfortunately it was not secret, and the success was close to failure."

"Son of a trader's pawn? Younger than the crown?"

Tu Sui became more and more angry, and roared: "What a yellow-mouthed child who does not know the heights of the sky, passing on the command of the commander, the three armies..."

"Stop being angry!"

At the right time, another member of the school heard the sound and whispered: "That Huangkou Ruzi is just a squatter, only waiting for the commander to lead the army and offering his head in front of the commander's case, a real confidant. The big trouble is that Yanzhou Dian army commander S Mengtian!"

"That Mengtian was able to fight against Xuzhou Renshuai's 30 army with [-] troops for half a month. He is by no means an easy man. Now that he has led the army into Qiao County, he must have come to intercept our Yangzhou Heavenly Army. The commander must not just because of this A small loss makes a big difference, let Meng Tian take advantage of it!"

As soon as this statement came out, the generals in the tent were greatly dissatisfied, and they angrily said: "Chen Ying, what do you mean by this? Is it possible that in your eyes, the commander is not as good as that Meng Tian child?"

"Is there any reason to grow others' ambition and destroy one's own prestige?"

"You are also surnamed Chen, and the Huangkou Ruzi is also surnamed Chen. Could it be that he is a long-lost brother?"

"that is……"

When Chen Ying heard this, he quickly defended: "Master, my family lives in Donghai County and has never set foot in Yanzhou. You know this, you must not listen to the villain's instigation..."

Tu Sui frowned and glanced around, hesitant in his heart.

He has been with Chen Ying for many years, how did he not know that Chen Ying's family lived in Donghai County, and that Chen County's Chen surname could not be beaten by eight poles?

He also knew that what Chen Ying said was reasonable.

That Meng Tian is indeed not an easy person, and he hastily led the army north, and he did not bring much food and herbs. If Meng Tian was allowed to stay in the rear, once his supply line of food and grass was cut off, the army would be in danger!
But the generals under his command were so excited that if he obeyed Chen Ying's advice, wouldn't it mean that he admitted that he was afraid of Meng Tian and weakened his reputation?
After some deliberation, Tu Sui waved his hand to stop the chattering of the generals in the tent, and then said slowly: "What you said is very much in line with my commander's wishes. I have 20 armored soldiers in the Yangzhou Heavenly Army." A mere Meng Tian, ​​[-] soldiers and horses, what's the point?"

"However, what Chen Ying said is indeed the solemn words of the old man!"

"This commander and his second and third sons will go north to open up the way for me to Taiping Road. All the food and supplies will be supplied by the elders and heroes of Yangzhou. This is the line of life and death. How can it be handed over to others?"

"However, that Huangkou Ruzi, who killed my son-in-law, has to avenge it!"

"This commander wants to divide his army of [-] troops and attack Chen County in the north. While driving our Heavenly Army to the north, we will capture that Chen Sheng's son and smash his bones and ashes to avenge this one arrow. Two or three sons, who would like to lead the army there?"

The general in the tent was very excited when he heard the words, and scrambled to seize this opportunity.

"The end will be willing to go!"

"If the last commander can go, within ten days, we will present the head of Chen Sheng's child and the commander as a chamber pot!"

"The last will only take eight days!"

"The end will only take five days!"

"You bastard, it takes four days to march from here to Tuo County, day and night. How can you lie and lie to the commander? Commander, the last commander only needs seven days, marches on four days, and preaches in three days..."

Seeing this, Chen Ying hurriedly said loudly: "Commander, the last general is also willing to lead the army. Within ten days, Chen County will be swept away, and the child will be offered to the commander to relieve his hatred!"

Satisfied, Tu Sui raised his eyes and slowly swept under the account. After his eyes stopped on Chen Ying for a while, he went straight to look at the other person: "Qin She!"

Hearing the words, the elite general named Qin She stepped forward with ecstatic joy, and said with one knee: "The end will be here!"

Tu Sui opened the lacquer box on the desk, took out a tiger talisman, and walked slowly to the tent and put it into this person's hand: "If you promise to pass on the first commander within seven days, the commander will give you seven days, and the overdue military law will be punished. !"

Qin She held the tiger talisman in both hands, bowed his head ecstatically and shouted: "The last general will not teach the commander to be disappointed!"

While speaking, he did not forget to look proudly at Chen Ying beside him.

As soon as Chen Ying saw this person got the order, his heart suddenly became cold... This person was the one who previously framed him and Chen Sheng as brothers.

So many generals and schools in the account are vying to ask for orders, but the commander entrusts this heavy responsibility to this person alone... What do you mean?

……

midnight.

South of Zhu County, Qiao County, Mengtian Camp.

Chen Shou is patrolling the camp with his sword.

Thanks to Meng Tian, ​​a professor who was an excellent commander who practiced himself, and Chen Sheng's thinking mode of thinking more carefully about everything and doing more preparations.

After leading his troops to fight for hundreds of miles, he has rapidly grown from the head of a merchant's family to an excellent general.

"Captain!"

The two red-clothed soldiers on guard saw Chen Shou, and they folded their fists and cupped their hands to him, looking at him with reverence and closeness from their hearts.

Chen Shou took out two pieces of chicken-sized jerky from his arms, stuffed them into their hands, and said with a smile, "Get up, don't doze off!"

"Ok!"

The two red-clothed soldiers grabbed the jerky and nibbled vigorously, nodding with a satisfied smile, their brows filled with determination.

Chen Shou nodded and led the accompanying personal guards to continue patrolling the camp.

After walking a few steps, I saw a messenger approaching quickly, walking up to him and clasping his fists: "Chen Xiaowei, General Meng, please enter the big tent to discuss matters immediately!"

When Chen Shou heard this, he instinctively raised his head and glanced at the bright moon above his head.

It's almost time, and we still need to discuss things?What kind of business are you discussing?
Is it possible to rob the camp again?
But there is no Yellow Turban camp around Chu County!
Or to relocate?
not right...

He thought about it, and waved the messenger without changing his face.

Then he said to a guard next to him: "Old Eleven, bring a few brothers to ask your seventh brother and Li Zhong to get up and sit in the camp."

Chen Shiyi replied in surprise: "Fourth brother, what happened?"

Chen Shou shook his head slightly, and said softly, "It's nothing, it's just a matter of guarding against others, let's go!"

"only!"

Chen Shiyi took the lead, and walked out of the queue with a few personal guards, and hurried to Chen Qi's military tent.

Chen Shou dawdled on the spot for a while, guessing that after Chen Eleven had called Chen Qi up, he was surrounded by many personal guards and went to the central army tent.

Soon.

Chen Shou walked outside the central army tent, and before he could open his mouth to report, he saw a figure of eight feet tall, slender, with a square face, wearing a soldier's uniform. , picked the curtain to greet him.

When Chen Shou saw the person who came, he quickly clasped his fists and cupped his hands and said, "Meet the general under the mark!"

This powerful figure is Meng Tian.

Before he could finish his sentence, Meng Tian had already stepped forward to grab his arm and dragged him into the tent: "Hahaha, but wait for Brother Chen, hurry up and speak in the tent!"

This made Chen Shou more and more suspicious, and silently gave the accompanying guards a look... In the past, Meng Tian treated him politely. to discuss with him.

But never so close and eager.

Courtesy to people, there must be something to ask for!
Inside the tent is brightly lit.

Two tables filled with meat dishes were placed opposite each other.

Meng Tian personally invited Chen Shou to take a seat, then raised the honey water on the table with a smile and said, "There is no alcohol in the army, and the wine is replaced by syrup, Brother Chen, please!"

Chen Shou held up a cup, but after bringing it to his lips, he didn't drink a single sip.

After doing this several times.

Chen Shou finally smiled and took the initiative to say: "The general called the bidder in the middle of the night to come here, certainly not to ask the bidder to drink the water, right? If the general has any business, you may as well say it directly, but as long as it is not a matter of life and death, the bidder will never refuse. reason!"

Meng Tian got up with a smile, took a piece of silk from the table on the tent, and handed it to Chen Shou with a smile: "Brother Chen, why don't you take a look at this first."

Chen Shou took it in doubt, glanced through it quickly, and suddenly lost his voice: "When did this brat arrive in Tuoxian? He also ambushed the vanguard of the Yangzhou Yellow Turban Army?"

Birds to pass books need a fixed location, at least not too far apart, otherwise it will be difficult to find eagle slaves when the birds turn around.

And they have been marching every day these few days, and they have been together for dozens of miles every day. He has not communicated with Chen County for three or four days.

Meng Tian said with a smile: "One sect and two good generals fighting against the Yellow Turban rebels together should be a good story!"

Chen Shou put down the silk book with a gloomy expression.

The last time he communicated with Chen Sheng was four days ago.

And Chen Sheng ambushed the vanguard of the Yangzhou Yellow Turbans in Tuoxian three days ago.

It is impossible for Chen Sheng to fly from Chen County to Tuo County with thousands of troops in one day.

So, that brat is deliberately hiding it from himself!

The reason is nothing more than fear that he is worried...

But he is afraid of worrying about himself, can he not worry about it?
In fact, Chen Shou is now terrified.

Where is the battlefield?
That brat is the only seed of their old Chen family!
If there are three longs and two shorts, wouldn't their old Chen family end?

No!

This thing is not strong, beat the deflated calf thing three... One meal, I can't get through it!
"What do you mean, General?"

He looked at Meng Tian blankly.

Meng Tian couldn't see the gloomy meaning in his eyes, and smiled: "Lang Lang is far-sighted, and I can catch the Yangzhou Yellow Turban rebels head-on before they enter Chen County. This is really something I didn't expect."

"Now our army and Ling Lang's troops are in the east and the west, and they are fighting against the bandit leader Tu Sui army. We should join forces and echo the east and west to defeat this enemy bandit!"

Chen Shou was stunned, and thought to himself, "It's no wonder that the deflated calf wants to take the initiative to lead the army. It turns out that Tu Sui is going to enter Sizhou through Chen County, of course he can't agree."

He was also worried that the Yellow Turbans from Yangzhou would go north and attack Chen County.

But that was just suspicion.

And listen to Meng Tian's words and Chen Sheng's behavior of taking the initiative to lead the army.

They obviously have determined the purpose and route of the Yangzhou Yellow Turbans going north.

When Chen Shou looked at Meng Tian again, his eyes couldn't tell the difference.

It's no wonder that the deflated calf has repeatedly emphasized that if there is a chance, he will also tie this guy back to Chen County...

　I went to have a drip yesterday afternoon, and it was already late when I got home. Then I still didn’t feel comfortable. I couldn’t sit still in front of the computer. I curled up in bed and used my phone to code for six or seven hours. ...
