Chapter 219
Mrs. Wa was about to leave the city to appease her subordinates, but Aman wanted to follow the uncle, and the one holding Chen Si's neck did not let go. Chen Si said, "After all, the environment outside the city is not good, so let Aman follow me first."
Mrs. Wa was quite moved. She was a free and easy person, not as hypocritical as the Han people. She nodded and agreed and said, "Then I'll trouble you." She said to Aman again: "Let me listen to the uncle, do you know?"
Aman nodded obediently, kissed grandma sweetly and said, "Aman is the most obedient."
The old woman then felt relieved and left the city surrounded by guards.
After he could no longer see the grandma, Aman was a little disappointed. He pursed his lips tightly, lay on Shen Mo's shoulder and said nothing. He asked with a silent smile: "Little Aman, what do you want to eat?"
The little girl's eyes immediately brightened and forgot to worry and said, "I want to eat a lot of good things."
Chen Shu laughed and said, "The uncle will take you to eat a lot of good things." He was about to carry the little girl on the horse, but Chen An stopped him and said, "Sir, please come into the sedan chair."
Chen Si didn't pay attention at first, but now he saw that there was a wool green sedan chair stop at the door, and four sedan chairmen were waiting for him. He said strangely: "Where did this come from?"
Chen An smiled and said, "This is your official sedan chair. Just now, the officials from the Governor's Office sent it."
Chen Silence frowned and said, "It's good to ride a horse."
"A lord is a civil servant, how can it be done to ride a horse in the city?" Chen An said seriously: "It will make people talk nonsense."
"You're the one who has a lot of things," Chen Si cursed with a smile, but no longer insisted. He put Xiao Aman in the sedan chair, waved to call Tiezhu over, and whispered: "Take a few capable people, each with two horses, follow Hu Zhongcheng's team, and once the battle situation is clear, you will get it back quickly."
Tiezhu took the order in a deep voice. Just as he was about to leave, he was grabbed by Chen Si's wrist. When he looked back, he saw that the adult's face was unprecedentedly serious. Then he heard Chen Si's voice softly but clearly said: "Time is everything, you must use the fastest speed and do whatever you want."
Tiezhu immediately felt the heavy responsibility on his shoulders. He nodded hard and set off with several of the best subordinates.
Yes, silently prepared to have a speculation, he wanted to bet on the winner and loser of the next battle. If the bet is right, he will no longer have to worry about being given up easily. He can sleep down, read his books, and live a few days of stable life. If the bet is wrong, for speculators, the outcome is no different, and it must be miserable...
When he heard the news that Zhou Yu had hurriedly assembled his troops and set out to pursue the Japanese and pirates, his first reaction was that this battle would probably be lost. Because he had an in-depth observation of the Japanese and pirates, he knew that they were not regular troops after all, and there were no rear guards or rear guards when retreating, but were strong and strong, while the elderly, weak, sick and disabled fell behind. So he felt that Cao Bangfu and others were unlikely to attack the Japanese and pirates, and maybe they stabbed a hornet's nest. How did the military strategy say "Don't stop the return troops, don't force the enemy to force them", especially in the face of a strong enemy with unscathed strength.
Obviously, the great victory of Wang Jiangjing made all the civil and military generals underestimate the enemy. If Zhou Yu and Hu Zongxian led people to chase after him at this time, they would probably be covered in a full head.
But he did not tell his judgment, because first of all, Zhou Yu would not listen to his unfounded assumptions; secondly, an impulse surged in his heart - to take this bet! He wanted to make himself truly important and become a person no one dared to ignore.
He asked himself how confident he was? If he was more than 60%, then let go. Then he told himself: "Go and do it." He felt that he could no longer plan and move. For a little butterfly like him who knew all the news later, making plans would mean being passive everywhere! This feeling was so bad! So he followed the impulse in his heart, shut his mouth, and took over the hot potato of Langci Bing.
He planned to have a good relationship with the leaders of the wolf clay soldiers these days and wrote blank checks to them. After Zhou Yu was defeated, he would naturally realize the preciousness of these wolf clay soldiers. Then he would join forces with Hu Zongxian to ask for money and grain from Governor Zhou, and it would not be so difficult. As long as the silver and grain were paid, all his blank checks would be cashed... At that time, in the eyes of Mrs. Wa and the father and son of the Peng family, all this would be a loss to him. Naturally, he would only follow his horse's leader in the future and would not listen to others.
I remember that Chen Lian listed the second crime in the memorial to impeach Yan Song: "Steal the power of the king and win favors and make guests. The court rewarded one person and said, "I will reward it." He punished one person and said, "I will punish it." Everyone is observing the love and evil of Yan, but not knowing the favor and power of the court." This is almost the same meaning, which is to make the wolf cunning soldiers "serve his love and evil of the silence, but not knowing the favor and power of the government."
But when the bet was made and sat in the trembling sedan chair, he finally couldn't help but feel fear and began to worry about gains and losses: 'If I make a mistake in judgment and the army returns to victory, how can I end up?'' If our army loses too much and even loses its entire army, how can I feel conscience?' His mood was ups and downs, and his face changed. He actually forgot that there was a cute little girl next to him.
Aman really didn't want to disturb the uncle, but he saw that he closed his eyes slightly and his face was so pale that it was scary. He couldn't help but become scared, so he rubbed his hairy braid gently on Shen Mo's face.
Chen Si felt a slight itchy feeling on his cheeks. Then he opened his eyes and saw Aman looking at him with a worried face, and said carefully: "Uncle, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Chen Si was thinking about what he should answer, but he saw Aman slipping down from the seat, gently waved the two small white fists, and pounding his waist and legs very seriously.
Chen Silent said in surprise: "What is this?"
Xiao Aman stopped the movements of his hand, raised his little face that was so shattered, and said seriously: "When grandma is uncomfortable, Aman will beat her. Every time grandma says it works." After that, he continued to beat her seriously and focusedly.
The silence was unstoppable. The heart, which was a little dry and numb because of too many plots and paradoxes, seemed to be moistened by spring, began to feel warm and numb, and countless tender buds grew quietly, giving him strength again.
Since I embarked on this most sinister path in the world, I cannot turn back. I must grit my teeth and go all the way, making decisions, right and wrong, leading to results, good and bad. I will gain a lot and lose a lot, but no matter what, there are two things that I must not abandon, that is my conscience and my ideals.
After all, Silence is not a politician like Yan Song. He cannot sit idly by and watch his army be in danger just for his own future. Therefore, after a struggle of thought, he decided to modify the plan, but he wanted to have a clear conscience.
He told Chen An to stay in the inn and take good care of Aman and wait for him to come back in two days.
"Young Master, are you going out?" "Uncle, are you going out?" the two asked in unison.
Silently pinched Aman's smooth and tender little face and smiled: "The uncles and uncles outside the city have nothing to eat, so the uncle has to find them some food."
Aman nodded and said, "Aman will be very obedient..." but he couldn't laugh.
Chen Si knew that the child was left behind twice today, Xiao Xinling must have been very injured. He squatted down and hugged Aman and said, "Uncle will be back soon. As soon as he comes back, he will take you all the benefits of Hangzhou. Is that good?"
"Well..." Aman nodded obediently, kissed softly on his cheek, and whispered: "Uncle, Aman doesn't like Chen An."
After thinking silently, he was also very worried about giving it to this uncontrollable guy. So he ordered Chen An, "This is the case, you send Aman to Qingcui and ask her to take care of her for a few days... Do you know where she is?"
"I know, it's just Baotongyuan's women's clothing shop." Chen An said with his eyes blooming: "Young Master, don't worry, I'll guarantee that I'll send my aunt there and stare at her every day."
Silently cursed, "I think you are staring at someone's female guest, it's true." He stood up and ordered the two more honest soldiers and said, "You two stay, look at the color, don't let him embarrass me."
The two personal soldiers laughed and said, "Don't worry, if he is not honest, we will scold him."
Chen An said bitterly: "I'm not a livestock."
"You are just a two-legged animal." Silently cursed, pinched Aman's cheek, and smiled, "Let's go." Aman held his mouth and cried, "Uncle lies..." Then she burst into tears.
Flee in silence and struck out of the city.
At this time, the Langci soldiers had already received news from Mrs. Wa and each returned to the camp for dinner. I knew that the Guangxi soldiers were stationed in the east and north of the city, and the Yongtu soldiers stationed in the west and south of the city were stationed in the west and south of the city, among which the Yongshun soldiers led by Peng Mingfu, Peng Yinan and his son; the Baojing soldiers led by Peng Xuchen and Peng Shouzhong in the south of the city.
After a moment of thought, he was silent and headed straight to Yongshun Barracks west of the city.
Several Tu soldiers wearing pipa-padded shirts and black-wisted braids at the camp gate held up their spears to stop him, and said in a silent voice: "When you go in, you will say that you are sending food and salary to the Tu family brothers."
