Humane Yongchang

Chapter 361 Disappointment
July 25, early morning.

The Han general, Li Xin, led the army to break through Luoyi, the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, causing riots in the city.
Ji Lie, the king of Wei, and Ji Ye, the king of Qi, hurriedly assembled [-] forbidden troops and guards to protect some of the relatives of the clan who died out of Baihumen and fled to Yizhou.

Li Xin's army was stationed alone in Luoyi City, unable to divide his troops to chase...

July 27.

Xingye rushed to the aid of King Jian's army in Luoyi. After receiving the news that Luoyi city was broken, he turned north in Chenggao and retreated to the Hanoi camp.

Chasing after Wang Jian's army, Chen Sheng's troops were able to drive straight in, heading straight for Luoyi.

The first of August.

Chen Sheng led the army into Luoyi City.

……

The handsome flag with the character "Chen" was held high, and the army slowly entered the city from the Dongfang Qinglong Gate.

The nine-zhang-five-high city wall stretches for dozens of miles and is as majestic as a cliff. It is difficult for people to feel humble and insignificant when they are under it.

The houses in the city are scattered and orderly, the streets and alleys are horizontal and vertical, neat and symmetrical, and the yellowish blue bricks and black tiles with the traces of the years are deposited, giving people a very comfortable sense of harmony, as if they had been swept away. Slippery old stuff.

This ancient but not decaying, heavy but not flashy charm pervades the whole city, like a plump and dignified beauty...

Except for the frequent appearance of Bai Ling and Xiaoyi, which are a bit dazzling, everything in Luoyi gave Chen Sheng a great feeling!

"Last commander Li Xin (Chen Dao), meet the king, long live my king, long live!"

"Long live, long live, my king!"

All the red-clothed army generals who had been lined up in the city for a long time, saw the handsome flag with the character 'Chen' entering the city, and they all clasped their fists and saluted.

The layers of short soldiers separated to the sides, Chen Sheng dismounted from his horse, strode up to the two of them, picked them up with his own hands, and laughed happily: "I can win this battle, the two of them. A general should take the lead!"

After a pause, he raised his head again, looked at the generals behind the two, and said sternly: "It is also thanks to all the lords who bravely ascend and fight with all their strength that the royal court can break this siege. , first thank you for your bloody battle!"

Saying that, he ignored the armor and squeezed his palms to the end of the dozens of battalions in the rear.

When the generals and schools saw this, they were both shocked and ecstatic. They only felt that the suffering of fighting a thousand miles alone was scattered with the wind, and only pride and glory were left, filling their hearts!
They also squeezed their palms, and shouted hoarsely: "I wish to die for the king, and I wish to be the forerunner of the royal court!"

This scene, not to mention the countless red-clothed soldiers around who were carrying out vigilance work, saw their hearts pounding and made it difficult for themselves.

Even the thousands of Luoyi people crowded on both sides of the long street were silent after seeing it.

Isn't this what the sages preached about "the ruler and his ministers win each other"?

But it undoubtedly made them feel ridiculed, because this kind of virtue actually appeared on the body of a rebel...

Chen Sheng asked many generals to get up, and then personally led two war horses over and invited them to go side by side.

The two naturally refused and did not dare, but how could they beat Chen Sheng?

"Tell me about it later!"

Chen Sheng rode the war horse and said with a smile: "How did you fight this battle!"

Of course, he had seen the battle report of the battle of breaking the city long ago, but in this kind of battle with less victory, how could the battle report be clear in just a few words?

The more the soldiers, the more technical content is in the details!

Chen Sheng felt that this battle was enough to be included in the teaching plan of Jixia Academy.

In the face of Chen Sheng's request.

Li Xin promised with his mouth full, and his heart was indescribably excited!
On the other hand, Chen Dao seemed to be anxious and worried, and he didn't know how to tell Chen Sheng the news of Chen Xiaoliu's death.

If Chen Xiaoliu'er was a swordsman in the battlefield, it would be fine, there is nothing foolproof in the battlefield, and even himself, every time he goes into battle, he is mentally prepared to never go back.

However, Chen Xiaoliu'er did not die under the swordsmanship in the battlefield, but under the backlash of the Zhou Dynasty's national fortune, and died under the infamy of Chen Sheng's eldest brother...

How does this teach him to speak up?
Chen Sheng didn't notice Chen Dao's abnormality.

Until this moment, he was still immersed in the joy of the victory.

Even if he walked all the way and saw Bai Ling Xiaoyi all the way, even if he knew that these Bai Ling Xiaoyi were these Luoyi people who were spontaneously filial to the young emperor, he didn't take it to heart at all.

Until an old Confucian with white hair and a high-ranking Confucianism stood on the side of the street and tore at the red-clothed soldiers who were blocking him from rushing to the center of the long street, he roared at Chen Sheng with his beard and hair snarling: "'Chaos. Chen Thief, everyone gets it and kills him!"

As soon as this statement came out, the red-clothed soldier who had never been angry no matter how much he tore apart, was furious on the spot, raised his hand and punched him hard on the cheek, knocking half of his old teeth out on the spot.

Chen Sheng's face was also gloomy. He knew the infamy 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 block him in front of so many people!

He restrained the horse and watched with a cold face as the soldiers in the red shirt pressed the old man to the ground, punching and kicking.

The old man was also stubborn, his teeth were knocked out, and he still scolded himself.

The red-clothed soldiers who just beat him, never gave him a chance to say a complete sentence...

Seeing this, thousands of Luoyi people crowded on both ends of the long street were a little disturbed.

When Ji Bu, who was in command of the army, saw this, he raised his left hand high and made a fist.

In an instant, more than [-] red-clothed soldiers raised the spear in their hands and stomped the ground heavily.

Sen Leng's chilling air swept across the long street with the tidy and vigorous stomping sound!

The thousands of people in Luoyi who were in turmoil were like being poured down by a basin of ice water.

Seeing that persuasion and education was useless, the soldier in red who was punching and kicking at the old man simply pulled out a short knife from his waist with one hand and twisted the old man's hair with a bruised nose and a bruised face with the other, intending to deepen the persuasion and education.

At this moment, Chen Sheng finally said, "Bring it here!"

The soldier in red didn't hesitate. Although the short knife in his hand had already reached the base of the old man's neck, he immediately retracted the short blade, grabbed the old man's bun, and dragged him to death like a pig. He dragged it in front of Chen Sheng and threw it heavily, clasping his fists in a serious manner: "Your Majesty, bring the old dog here!"

Chen Sheng glanced at him, and the gloomy meaning on his face was relieved.

Li Xin, who was also gloomy on the side, noticed this detail and took a serious look at the soldier, taking his appearance in his heart.

"Looking at your appearance, you are also a reader, right?"

Chen Sheng stroked the mane of the war horse, and asked casually.

"Pooh!"

The old man with a blue nose and a swollen face spat out a mouthful of blood with teeth, and said disdainfully, "Nei Gongxing will not change his name, nor will he change his surname when he sits, so is Gongsun Ji under the sage's sect!"

Chen Sheng smiled lightly, pointed to the old man and said to the soldiers in red beside him, "Teach him how to speak human!"

Hearing this, the red-clothed army officers and soldiers raised their size 42 feet without hesitation, and stomped them on Lao Ru's mouth!
The old man let out a pained cry, and opened his mouth to spit out two front teeth.

Chen Sheng looked at him with a smile: "Are you willing to talk well?"

The old man covered his mouth and didn't answer, but there was still resentment in his eyes.

Seeing this, Chen Sheng sighed lightly, shook his head helplessly and said, "That's what annoys you idiots the most, when I want to reason with you, you insist on using the sword with me, I will use the sword with you, you Come and reason with me again... You will suffer if you don't take advantage of co-authoring, right?"

"You say that I, Chen Sheng, are a 'chaotic minister and thief', then come and tell me how my Chen Sheng is a 'chaotic' law, what a 'thief' law!"

"But make it clear, I can't make it clear, but I want to punish you for slander!"

He was still laughing, but his tone was cold as if his breath was cold.

Faced with this rare opportunity to expose the true face of Chen Sheng's chaotic ministers and thieves in front of thousands of people, the old man simply went out of his way, put down his hands covering his mouth, and shouted hoarsely: "You are Zhou Chen, Dai Tianzi Mu. Guarding a county, instead of being loyal to the monarch and serving the country, but instead raising troops to stand up for yourself, this is chaos. You are a citizen of Zhou, and you don’t think about drinking water and thinking about the source. You are grateful for the kindness of the previous kings who have been sleeping at night and eating at night. The emperor sleeps on a torch, this is a thief!"

"How can this old man slander the name of a chaotic minister and a thief!"

He roared furiously with his beard and hair spouting and his face bursting with blue veins.
"If you want to add a crime, why worry about it!"

Chen Sheng said with a smile, the coldness in his eyes was like the middle of winter: "You old men don't slander me for a day or two. Today, I will return to you one by one!"

"The position of the county governor of Chen County is not rewarded by Can Zhou. I am a businessman in the Chenjia District, and I can't get into the eyes of the big men like you in Luoyi. The position of the county governor of Chen County is that I brought my red-clothed army. Shou Shou grabbed it, why did he grab it? It was because he colluded with Taiping Dao, and Taiping Dao wanted to kill us merchants to raise food and wealth and grab the post of county governor, which is really a self-preservation move!"

"But even so, I, Chen Sheng, my Chen family, and my red-clothed army are still thinking about protecting you wastes hiding in the rear. It was I who led the 15 red-clothed army and defeated Tu Sui's [-]-strong army. !"

"Even if Can Zhou never gave me a grain of food or a large sum of money from the beginning to the end, none of my soldiers in the Red Army have ever complained!"

"Listen clearly, the post of county governor was not given by Can Zhou, and the salaries of my Red Army were not given by Can Zhou!"

"And why did I, Chen Sheng, be against it? You all have a brighter mind, but you are all pretending to be blind and stupid. Anyway, it's not you who are starving, nor you who are cold, nor you who are facing the blade of the Yellow Turbans. You are not. Of course, you can eat enough to support yourself, and feel that I, Chen Sheng, and I, the Red Army, should sell my life to Can Zhou and you stupid and bad rubbish, and block guns for the rest of my life!"

"It's Can Zhou, it's you who lost me Chen Sheng, lost my Red Army!"

"It wasn't me Chen Sheng, my Red Army, I lost you, I lost Can Zhou!"

"This is what you mean by 'not thinking of being loyal to the king and serving the country'!"

"As for why my red-clothed army invaded Luoyi... a joke, wasn't that the one who sent a large army to attack me in Hanting? What's the matter? He can only attack me, and my red-clothed army is not allowed to attack me. He? If you want to say that, then I will slaughter your entire family now, and you will have to stretch your neck to cut me down, but if you dare to resist, it is a great treason!"

The old man blushed and shouted: "What nonsense! Say one thousand, say ten thousand, this place is also the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, this is the place where people from the countryside should set foot, get out of Luoyi, get out of Chen county!"

As soon as these words came out, there was another commotion among the crowds on both sides of the long street.

Chen Sheng glanced at it with disappointment in his eyes.

He smiled softly: "Is this what you Confucians preach about 'do not do to others what you do not want to do to yourself'? I really learned a lot today... By the way, if I remember correctly, before the week There is also Shang, there was Xia before Shang, if it is true as you said, this should be the Xia land, it should be the Zhou people, get out of the Xia land!"

The old man said indignantly: "Jie Zhou lost his virtue, and Da Zhou replaced him. How can we generalize?"

Chen Sheng clapped his hands: "That's right, wouldn't Can Zhou lose his morality? If he didn't lose his morality, how would there be Hanting, and how would there be my Red Army?"

When the old man heard this, he opened his mouth to scold him for being a "chaotic minister and thief" and "the culprit".

But before he could say anything, he thought of what Chen Sheng had said before, and was at a loss for words.

"No more to say?"

Chen Sheng nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that you also realize that you are slandering. Since that's the case... Come on, drag this old dog down and execute it Ling Chi!"

He didn't give the old man a chance to speak, and went straight ahead.

But the disappointment of the Luoyi people in his heart lingered no longer.
