Chapter 268 Since it's here, stay
Chapter 268: Since you are here, stay (first update)
The continuous bonfires extend endlessly under the night sky, and at the end of his eyes, it seems like a fire dragon. Chen Ying stands on the deck, looking at the camp in the distance, not knowing what he is thinking.
Over the past few days, Chen Ying has done wonderful things with Hana Shentian every night. What puzzled Hana Shentian was that Chen Ying would grit his teeth and roar every time: "Get glory for the country", which gave Hana Shentian a misunderstanding. She believed that Chen Ying was eager to have a child with her.
The meaning of winning glory for the country is to give birth to a strong and healthy child, inherit Chen Ying's mantle in the future and continue to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty. Chen Ying did not know what Hana Yin thought, otherwise he would have laughed.
Seeing Hanaki Kusan standing with a helpless look, Chen Ying rushed to Hanaki Kusan and said, "It's getting late, and you're tired, go back and rest early!"
Hana Fukada turned around and left. When she was about to walk to the door of the cabin, she suddenly turned around and couldn't help but ask, "Alang, are you thinking about something?"
In this era, Alang could almost replace the meaning of "master" in the Ming and Qing dynasties. In the Houmo Chen family, only Houmo Chen Qianhui can be called "Alang". Chen Ying can only be called Chen Lang or Wulang. However, Chen Ying did not specifically explain it when she was called this by Hanyin Fukada.
"Uh," Chen Ying was stunned, looked up at Hana Fukada and asked, "Is it so obvious?"
Fukada Hanoto nodded in agreement.
"There is nothing else, it's just... I'm a little uneasy!" Chen Ying said.
There are some things that cannot be explained to outsiders, especially Hantian Huayin. Compared to Chen Ying, Chen Ying has no affection for her, but only has simple physiological needs. To put it bluntly, Hantian Huayin is just a tool for Chen Ying, a tool to solve physiological needs.
Chen Ying felt inexplicably uneasy at this moment, and cold sweats broke out from time to time behind him. This was very abnormal. However, he couldn't tell what the reason was in this situation.
In history, after Liu Heita learned that Dou Jiande was killed, it was not his active rebellion, but Li Yuan made a big mistake. Dou Jiande was the one who should not be killed. Before this, he was also very friendly to the Li Tang regime. The key was that Dou Jiande was not fond of money and was not greedy. His army was strict in discipline and treated the people very well. Li Yuan's move hurt the hearts of the people of Hebei, and on the other hand, he bought the seeds of disaster.
Li Yuan's subordinates saw the attitude of the supreme leader towards the rebel leader in Hebei, so they had thoughts about the surrendered generals who came over with him. Because Hebei was rich and these surrendered generals had some wealth. Therefore, these Tang Dynasty officials took the opportunity to say that they were "ravaged for the people" and took measures to capture them one by one, torture and force confessions to them, and let them hand over their property. This made everyone's old subordinates in the Dou family feel in danger and were frightened and uneasy.
Dou Jiande's old general Gao Yaxian and Wang Xiaohu's family were in Mingzhou (now Guangping County, Hebei Province). After seeing this, they immediately fled with their family and wealth. When the officials of the Tang Dynasty found out, they sent troops to capture them. They had to flee to Beizhou (now Qinghe County, Hebei Province) and hid. At this moment, they heard the news that Li Yuan summoned Dou Jiande's former general Fan Yuan, Dong Kangmai, Cao Zhan and Gao Yaxian, and said that they wanted to be made for them, but this news came too abnormally, which was very contrary to the attitude of the officials of the Tang Dynasty to treat them. All of these old generals of the Xia King were creepy.
So these old subordinates of Dou Jiande gathered together. They recommended Liu Ya, who had the most military achievements and the highest prestige, as the leader, but Liu Ya refused to do it. His reason was very simple. The world was already peaceful. I am willing to be a farmer farming. Don’t come to me for such a storm. I don’t want to be any leader. When everyone heard this, they were very angry, thinking that this guy would not give face, and worried that he would reveal the secret, so they stood up and killed him.
When Liu Heita was finally found, Liu Heita agreed to be the leader of everyone. Liu Heita led more than 100 Dou Jiande's old subordinates and entered Zhangnan County in disguise. Then he suddenly launched an attack, defeated the defenders and seized the city. Then Liu Heita's army quickly attacked from more than 100 people, and restored the entire territory of Dou Jiande during three months. There may be Liu Heita's personal command factor here. It is undeniable that Li Yuan lost the hearts of the people in Hebei. Otherwise, Liu Heita would have fought these thirty-nine states, more than 200 county towns, and Liu Heita fought two cities one by one, and he could not defeat more than 200 cities in ninety days.
It can be seen how deep Dou Jiande's foundation in the hearts of the people in Hebei is. Chen Ying adopted the method of using labor for relief, but in fact he just used the cunning of the peasant style to create an illusion that the situation was hopeless for Dou Jiande. Just like the King of Chu faced the four Chusongs, this was actually a battle of attacking the heart and psychological warfare. The key is whether Dou Jiande can withstand it.
At this moment, Guo Luo said to Chen Ying unintentionally: "Master, this Yan Zhao man is so generous. You have never seen him. They eat big pieces of meat and drink big gulps, so generous!"
As the saying goes, it is unintentional, but it is intentional. Chen Ying instantly understood his uneasy visitor. Since ancient times, there have been many generous and tragic people in Yan and Zhao. This place in Hebei has always had a very loyal folk custom. The orphan of Zhao family, Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin, the wind is whistling and the Yishui is cold, and the hero has gone and never returned!
"assassin!"
Chen Ying understood that in this war, the opportunity could be reversed. As long as he was assassinated or died, then the generals of the Tang army in Hebei were without leaders. Whether it was Feng Li, Wei Wenzhong, Luo Shixin and Zhang Shigui, they could not represent him and become the backbone of the Tang army in Hebei.
Thinking of this, Chen Ying looked at Guo Luo and said, "Who is on duty tonight? How did it be arranged?"
Guo Luo was very strange. Chen Ying had never asked about the matter of arranging their personal guards on duty. However, Chen Ying suddenly asked this question, and Guo Luo even doubted whether he had done a bad job in normal times. Chen Ying was very dissatisfied. The more he thought about it, the more likely he was. Guo Luo said very nervously: "I was on duty before midnight to midnight, and Ashinasmo was on duty when midnight to midnight, and Zhou Qing was on duty when midnight to midnight to midnight," he said in a very nervous manner.
Chen Ying leaned over to Guo Luo's ear and whispered softly.
Guo Luo nodded repeatedly.
Regardless of whether there were assassins or not, Chen Ying was very concerned about his life. He decided to take a look at it. If there were no assassins, at most it would be to make the guards more hard. Chen Ying felt that if they were given double salary to the guards, they would be happy even if they worked hard.
As usual, Chen Ying recruited a petite guard at the third hour of the hour of Hai and entered the bedroom. After a while, a sound of panting and moaning came from the cabin.
However, Chen Ying actually didn't know that as early as the beginning of Dingchu, when Chen Ying was playing with the mandarin ducks in Shentian, Su Dingfang took more than a dozen good men and used reed poles to ventilate at the bottom of the water to Chen Ying's ship, Wan'an. Although there were dozens or hundreds of wind lights on the entire Wan'an, there was a saying that it was dark under the light.
Su Dingfang took advantage of the dark gap under the light to successfully sneak into the ship. However, Su Dingfang did not dare to touch Chen Ying's cabin directly, but hid in the boatman's cabin on the bottom floor.
Su Dingfang had very good eyesight. He observed the Wan'an on the mast of a square boat opposite the ship for more than an hour. He found that Chen Ying's personal guards had almost no communication with the ship's ship's ship's workers, and he would not patrol the bottom cabin.
Maybe this is a habitual mistake.
While carefully monitoring Chen Ying's movements, Su Dingfang quietly sent out several confidants to find opportunities to create turmoil in Chen Ying's camp and attract Chen Ying's attention.
When Chen Ying and Hantian Huayin continued to win glory for the country, Su Dingfang was disgusting. He was a little far away and secretly observed Hantian Huayin. She was dressed as a personal guard. Except for her petite figure, she really couldn't tell that she was a woman. When Chen Ying moaned, Su Dingfang secretly spitted in the direction of Chen Ying's cabin: "Damn it, the aristocratic family is really the same tune!"
In fact, during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, many aristocratic children liked male style, and many people actually killed each other with each other. Of course, the most famous one was Fu Jian, the Di Qin Emperor. Fu Jian, who was known as the whip that could cut off the Yangtze River, was a bisexual. He included Murong Chong and Murong Chong's sister, Princess Yan Qinghe, into the harem, and the siblings were both favorite concubines.
Disgusting is disgusting, but murderous intent is getting stronger and stronger.
Su Dingfang was very patient, so he did not sneak in immediately, but waited for Yin time.
The hour of Yin is the darkest time before dawn, and of course it is also the time when people are most exhausted.
Even Chen Ying unknowingly changed from a fake sleep to a real sleep, and he snored slightly.
At this time, Su Dingfang finally acted. Of course, it was not him who took action first, but Su Dingfang's troops. At the third hour of the Yin period, more than a dozen large and small baggage ships in Chen Ying's camp caught fire almost at the same time.
However, these fired canal ships were relatively far away from the Wan'an. They suddenly caught fire in the dark night, which indeed attracted the attention of the defenders. Su Dingfang had almost no effort and jumped into Chen Ying's cabin with a pounce.
With the faint light faintly passing outside the cabin, Su Dingfang slowly touched Chen Ying with a Possus knife in his hand.
Just as Su Dingfang was about to raise the knife to Chen Ying, Su Dingfang felt something was wrong.
Although the fire outside the camp is not too big and there is no tendency to spread, in this case, even if the person who sleeps dead should react, Chen Ying still snores.
"What's wrong!" Su Dingfang felt that it must be a trap.
Su Dingfang should make a decision and immediately withdraw.
However, at this time, it is obviously too late to retreat.
A loud shout rang out: "Since you're here, stay!"
