Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 233 Nanyang Chen Zhen
"General, do you have a decision on whether to go or stay?" A scribe in Ji Ling's account, wearing a crown and green robe, is as humble as jade.After Ji Ling's anger subsided, he stepped forward and asked Ji Ling.

Ji Ling looked at the scribe in front of him with a pair of tiger eyes, and his eyes were full of unfinished sorrow after being angry. He pulled his hair in pain, and then asked the scribe, "From Xiaoqi's point of view, the general should go or not?" Keep?"

The literati surnamed Chen, named Zhen, and named Xiaoqi heard the words, and seeing Ji Ling's helpless face, couldn't help sighing: "General, according to my opinion, if you want to stabilize one side, save the people of Nanyang , the general should stay; if you don’t want to hurt your family and offend the lord, you should follow the lord’s wishes and return to Fangwan City.”

After saying this, Chen Zhen seemed to think of something again, and added: "Besides, Lu Bu on the front line has betrayed the lord, and went north to Yuan Shao. The army of the Han Dynasty is no longer fettered, and the soldiers can reach the front in a few days, so what can the general do?" Counseling the enemy?"

"Because of this, I will not be able to abandon Xuanyuan Mountain and go away. If Xuanyuan Mountain is lost, the Han army will be as powerful as a broken bamboo, reaching under Wancheng. At that time, I will only rely on the isolated city of Wancheng, how can I resist?"

"How can the general say that Wancheng is an isolated city?" Chen Zhen frowned slightly, and said in a strange tone: "If the Lord's army in Yanzhou wins and takes advantage of the situation to fight back, the general will cooperate internally and externally to defeat the Han army in one fell swoop."

"Xiaoqi, don't comfort this general anymore. The situation on the battlefield is changing. The lord only wants to bully the few, but he has put his own army in a dangerous situation. Not to mention the chaos of the army and the lack of coordination. If the battle goes well , or you can coax them up and go all out for profit, if you can't fight against the battle, you're afraid that the tree will fall and the monkeys will scatter, and you won't be able to recover from it!"

After saying this sentence, Ji Ling still didn't notice Chen Zhen's weird tone, but became more and more heartbroken, and couldn't help pacing back and forth in the tent: "It's fine if my lord doesn't listen to my persuasion, but the battle is imminent, but he still treats you well." The area around Nanyang is pointing fingers. Stand alone in Wancheng, and put the fate of Wancheng on the victory or defeat of the lord's army. If the nail of Xuanyuan Mountain is not pulled out, Wancheng will leave a strategic space and defend against the enemy in Wancheng. In addition, how can we wait for the army to return to help?"

"Since the general already knows it well, why bother me?" Chen Zhen silently wrote down what Ji Ling said, and sighed angrily: "This is what I said before, and whether to go or stay is up to the general." decide."

Hearing that Chen Zhen was a little bit picky, Ji Ling finally noticed it, but he knew the reason for it, but he couldn't be angry with Chen Zhen, but he became more and more irritable, and blurted out: "Ask Mr. Ji, just want to ask It’s the best of both worlds.”

Chen Zhen shook his head bluntly: "The general knows his lord's nature, so he should know that there is no way to get the best of both worlds. Some spring and autumn brushwork, the subordinates can help the general polish and explain it, but the general also knows that no matter how clever the subordinates are , I'm afraid they won't be able to change the lord's mind, but will only make the general provoke the lord's fury..."

Hearing Chen Zhen's ultimatum, Ji Ling's face was instantly filled with despair, but he still didn't want to give up, and finally asked Chen Zhen for proof: "Sir, is there no way to turn around?"

As soon as these words came out, Chen Zhen stared intently at Ji Ling's expression, and that kind of modest and jade-like face suddenly became a little cold and stern, which made Ji Ling, a titan in the army, startled: "Sir, I have something to say. But it doesn’t matter if you say it, it’s out of your mouth and into my ears, only the gods of heaven and earth know it, sir, don’t worry.”

Hearing Ji Ling's words, Chen Zhen admired Ji Ling even more, then closed his eyes, and after making up his mind like a gambler, he opened his eyes and looked at Ji Ling and said slowly: "General, My subordinates have another strategy to break out of such shackles and make the general complete his merits."

"The plan will come out?"

"Change the sect!" As soon as Chen Zhen said this, he saw Ji Ling's face change instantly. Before Ji Ling got angry, he quickly said like a flying arrow: "Yuan Shuzhi is so talented, stubborn and foolish. And he perversely wants to be the enemy of the Han Dynasty, and the general is also a Han minister, so how can he have the face to help the tyrant and abuse him like this?!"

"Shut up!" Ji Ling was really furious, and with a flick of his wrist, he pulled out a steel knife from his waist and pressed it against Chen Zhen's neck: "Disturbing the morale of the army deserves death!"

But Chen Zhen didn't show any fear in the face of Ji Ling's steel knife, and he still replied with disdain: "You disturb the morale of the army, and you, Ji Ling, have the face to say it! You are from another state, so you don't want to kill me!" The people of Nanyang regard it as a fellow countryman, but you, Ji Ling, also have two eyes, so you didn’t open your eyes to see what kind of chaos Yuan Shu, a rebel, has caused me in Nanyang?! People with poor clothing and food can be seen everywhere. Cry The hungry and cold people freeze to death in the countryside! You Ji Ling also has flesh and blood people, can you turn a blind eye and hear it?"

As soon as these words came out, the steel knife in Ji Ling's hand trembled slightly, and he said to Chen Zhen almost as if begging: "Sir, please don't talk too much..."

"Don't talk too much? Huh!" Chen Zhen was proud, facing Ji Ling's extremely unstable mood, instead of retreating, he let Ji Ling's steel knife cut his neck, and shouted angrily: "Think about it!" Also, although Yuan Shu is unkind to thousands of people, he rewards you and other people who have no eyes and no eyes. There are countless beautiful maidservants and concubines in General Ji's mansion, who have already fallen into the gentle village, how can we see the devastation of our people in Nanyang!"

"Shut up!" Ji Ling yelled violently when he heard the words, and the steel knife in his hand turned suddenly, and swept heavily across Chen Zhen's head and neck, chopping off Chen Zhen'e's crown.Afterwards, Ji Ling put the saber in his hand, turned his back to Chen Zhen and shouted angrily: "I have made up my mind that if I don't break Xuanyuan Mountain, I won't return, so please write a pen and tell the lord about this!"

"Hmph!" Chen Zhen left in a rage, not wanting to say anything more to Ji Ling, but he still couldn't help expressing his determination when he walked to the tent door: "As a Han subject, I was forced to be helpless so I defiled myself and asked for perfection. You know everything about me. Don’t think that you will make me grateful if you let me go tonight!”

"Get lost!" Ji Ling suddenly yelled, and suddenly plunged the steel knife into the ground, and shouted at Chen Zhen with great anger: "Anyway, you are still the general's job now, hurry up and finish writing that reply letter! "

Chen Zhen returned to his tent angrily, of course he didn't have the heart to reply to Yuan Shu's letter.Even, when he thought of this matter at this moment, he wished he could swallow Yuan Shu alive.But after all, he is a son of a noble family, and he strictly abides by the Confucianism. After sitting down on the carpet, he began to restrain his mood and try his best to calm his anger.

At this time, a person in the tent came forward with a plate of food and put it on Chen Zhen's table: "Sir, it's time to eat."

Chen Zhen looked at the mutton soup, hummus, and even a small jug of wine on the plate. His anger was provoked again, and he clapped his hands: "There is wine and meat. The food in the army is really good! But Yuan Shu That dog thief didn't look at it, the people of Nanyang have already changed their sons to eat!"

After doing all this, Chen Zhen realized that the person who brought him food today was not an ordinary guard of Yuan Jun, but a doctor he brought with him. He remembered the name of this person, and said apologetically, "I made you laugh." Yes, Mr. Duanmu."

This Mr. Duanmu came to his mansion half a year ago. At that time, he was just a quack doctor. It happened that Chen Zhen's first wife had dystocia and was dragged into the mansion for treatment by a servant who rushed to seek medical treatment.At that time, Chen Zhen had a little disdain for this quack doctor, but he also cared about the life of his beloved wife, so he stopped drinking it at the old man's urging, disregarding the Confucian defense to order him to treat him.

Afterwards, everyone was happy. Chen Zhen not only saved the life of his beloved wife, but also got his son born.The Chen family rewarded him with a hundred gold, but Duanmu Zhengshuo refused to accept it, which earned the respect of the Chen family.In the end, it was the old man who was shrewd and ordered Duanmu Zhengshuo to stay in the mansion to treat the people of Nanyang, thus retaining this miracle doctor.

Although the army went out this time, the Chen family was worried about Chen Zhen's health, so they begged Duanmu Zhengshuo to accompany him.When Ji Ling learned that Chen Zhen was going to bring a doctor with him, he was even more willing.After all, the military is the place that most needs medical treatment.

But today, Chen Zhen saw that he was silent when he watched him coldly just now when he was angry, and suddenly felt that Duanmu Zhengshuo was different.Thinking that Duanmu Zhengshuo was also loved and loved in the army, and he would not bring him food, he immediately became alert: "Mr. Duanmu, do you want to give me some advice when you come here today?"

Duanmu Zhengshuo turned his head slightly, and after seeing no one outside the tent, he showed his bright white teeth, took out something from his bosom and said, "I don't dare to teach you, but I don't know Mr. Chen, can you deny this thing?"

It was a command talisman tied with a yellow sash, the whole body was emerald green, and the edge of it was carved with cloud-patterned animal heads, which was very gorgeous.The big "Han" character in seal script in the middle seemed to hurt Chen Zhen's eyes.

"Here, is this the token that Emperor Xiaowu bestowed on the embroidered messenger back then?"

"No, this is the command talisman bestowed by the emperor today to the embroidered messenger!" Duanmu Zhengshuo put away the command talisman and straightened his body slightly, the monstrous majesty and solemnity of the Imperial Han Dynasty burst out, filling the entire tent in an instant.
