Chapter 44 Divide the troops and suppress the auxiliary

After killing Mi Xiangjiang, Ge Ying ordered someone to pretend to be Mi Xiangjiang's head and rushed to Chen County with a hundred personal guards at night. At this time, Jiujiang soldiers and horses heard that Ge Ying had killed the master, and everyone felt unjust and indignant. Especially since Mixiangjiang belonged to the Chu royal family, it aroused the Chu people's nostalgia for their homeland, and mutinies broke out in many places.

But Ge Ying didn't know all this. He finally arrived in Chen County three days later. By this time, he was exhausted. However, due to the panic in his heart, Ge Ying did not rush into the city. He set up a temporary tent in a ruined temple outside the city. Stayed overnight and prepared to go to the city to meet Chen Sheng early the next morning.

But Ge Ying was not resigned to the status quo. He ordered his staff Wu Teng to enter the city late at night and visit Cai Ci's government office. He hoped that Cai Ci could help him convince Chen Sheng and eliminate Chen Sheng's suspicion of him. Even if he could not return to Jiujiang to lead the army, it would not matter. , as long as you keep your life, there will still be opportunities.

At this time, Ge Ying stopped in front of the ruined temple. The cold wind at night made Ge Ying shudder. At this time, he felt much more energetic. Looking at the bright night sky, Ge Ying prayed to the moon, hoping that everything would be okay. smoothly.

...

Wu Teng had been waiting at Cai Ci's residence for a long time, but Cai Ci still refused to show up. It was already night, and if Cai Ci didn't come out, Wu Teng decided that he had to leave.

However, a maid walked in when Wu Teng was about to leave, served tea, and said with a smile: "Guest, you have been waiting for a long time, my master will be here soon."

Wu Teng nodded, had no choice but to pick up the tea cup and continue drinking tea. This was already the third cup he had come to Cai Ci's house to drink. The aroma of the tea could not be tasted at all. Wu Teng drank tea and was about to say goodbye again. At that moment, hurried footsteps finally sounded outside. Soon, Cai Ci walked in quickly, cupped his hands and said with a smile, "I've kept you waiting for a long time. I wonder what's important for your late night visit?"

When Wu Teng saw that Cai Ci was finally willing to show up, he was extremely happy. He immediately raised his hands and replied: "My lord Wu Teng, the staff of General Ge Ying, pay homage to Mr. Cai."

Cai Ci smiled and nodded in return. After a brief silence, Cai Ci smiled and said, "You haven't answered me yet. What's the important matter for your late night visit?"

"My general asked me to bring you a message. He has successfully killed Mi Xiangjiang. He will go to the palace to meet King Zhang Chu tomorrow. I hope Master Cai can give you a few words of kindness." Wu Teng took out the day from his arms. Cai Ci wrote a letter to Ge Ying. Cai Ci took the letter, read it, and said with a smile, "Okay, I will try my best to handle this matter. You can go back."

When Wu Teng saw that Cai Ci had agreed, he just said goodbye and left. Cai Ci looked at Wu Teng's leaving figure and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. His plan was flawless. Ge Ying had fallen into the trap!

After removing Ge Ying, Chen Sheng could safely go north and capture Xingyang. With this in mind, Cai Ci turned around and shouted to the door: "Ready your horses immediately, I want to enter the palace."

...

After about half a stick of incense, Ge Ying arrived at the Chu Palace. At this time, Chen Sheng had already gone to bed, but when he learned that Cai Ci had something to ask for, Chen Sheng had to cheer up, change his clothes and go to the side hall. At this time, Cai Ci was waiting for him. It's been a long time.

Accompanied by slow footsteps, Chen Sheng's lazy figure appeared outside the palace. Ge Ying put down his teacup, stood up and saluted: "I apologize for disturbing your Majesty's rest late at night."

"There is no need to be polite. I have told you before. If there is something important, you can go directly to the palace without reporting it." Chen Sheng said politely, sat down on the soft seat, looked at Cai Ci, and said with a smile: "Tell me, why is it like this? Are you in a hurry and need to visit late at night?”

When Chen Sheng asked, Cai Ci smiled ferociously and said: "The matter that the king has been worried about for this period has been solved. Mi Xiangjiang was killed by Ge Ying, and his head has arrived in Chen County."

After hearing this, Chen Sheng couldn't help being shocked and laughed loudly: "Oh? Where is the head?"

"He is still in Ge Ying's hands, but he has already come to Chen County and is temporarily staying in a ruined temple outside the city. Maybe he will enter the palace tomorrow." Cai Ci said with a smile.

After hearing this, Chen Sheng was in a good mood. He raised his head and laughed several times before saying, "It seems that Ge Ying is trustworthy. I will definitely reward him heavily tomorrow."

"No, Your Majesty!" Cai Ci hurriedly warned him. Seeing that Chen Sheng was slightly surprised, Cai Ci smiled ferociously and said, "No matter how loyal a dog is that has bitten its owner, it cannot be kept. Your Majesty, do you understand?"

Hearing Cai Cizhi's words, Chen Sheng nodded slightly. Maybe Ge Ying could no longer be retained. At the beginning, he betrayed him and established Mi Xiangjiang as the king of Chu. It can be seen that his ambition is no less than his own, and Now, just because he has strong soldiers and horses and is determined to go south to attack Chu, he has to kill Mi Xiangjiang and seek refuge with him again. What can he do next? Will Ge Ying betray him again in the future, or even wait for an opportunity to kill himself and seize the throne of Zhang Chu?

Chen Sheng felt a chill on his back. If such a person is kept, he will be a disaster sooner or later. Thinking of this, Chen Sheng glanced sideways at Cai Ci and sneered: "I have written down what the military advisor said."

"In this case, I will take my leave first. Your Majesty, please rest early." Cai Ci stood up and saluted, then slowly retreated. Looking at Cai Ci's leaving figure, Chen Sheng felt murderous intent in his heart. As long as Ge Ying dared to enter the city tomorrow, he would be killed. He must be killed to sacrifice the flag and frighten the morale of the army!

In the early morning, the sound of three-way drums sounded from the city tower, and the Chenxian city gate slowly opened. More than a hundred Zhang Chu soldiers, holding long swords and halberds, rushed to both sides of the city gate. Soon, the antlers were carried out and placed on both sides. After a lot of work, Zhang Chujun let the long-awaited people into the city.

Among them was a team of more than a hundred people, headed by Ge Ying. He had received Wu Teng's reply, and Cai Ci was willing to help with the situation. With a little peace of mind, he entered the city early in the morning and prepared to plead guilty to Chen Sheng.

At this time, shops in the street have been opened one after another. At this time, Chen County has long escaped the shadow of the war and is completely different from when he left. Under the governance of Zhang Chujun, it began to gradually recover. This also made Ge Ying feel that he was indeed He is not Chen Sheng's opponent. Perhaps, it is a wise choice to kill Mi Xiangjiang and abandon the dark side for the bright side.

The team walked around the streets for about an hour, and finally arrived at the Chu Palace. The Chu Palace was heavily guarded. More than a hundred cavalry had already rushed to block Ge Ying's way. Ge Ying took off his weapons, raised his hands and smiled: "Please Help report, Ge Ying asks to see King Zhang Chu."

...

Inside the Zhangchu Palace//, there was silence in the main hall. They were supposed to be discussing Xingyang's dispatch of troops, but Ge Ying's temporary return forced everyone's discussion to stop temporarily.

Chen Sheng was even more excited. He stabilized the situation in Jiujiang without spending a single soldier. In this way, he could consider the battle of Xingyang without any worries. As long as he defeated Xingyang and approached Hangu Pass, the Qin State would be in a tight situation and the world would suddenly collapse. Change, Zhang Chuguo will completely consolidate its position in Shandong.

At this time, a loud shout sounded outside the hall: "Bring Ge Ying here."

At this time, two guards followed Ge Ying and walked in slowly. Ge Ying carried a box and came to the center of the hall. He knelt down on one knee and lowered his head and said: "General Ge Ying, I have met the king!"

Chen Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Ge Ying below. He couldn't help laughing loudly: "Ge Ying, do you know your guilt?"

Ge Ying's heart tightened and he muttered: "The last general...the last general will be convicted!"

"Come here, pull Ge Ying out and behead him!" Chen Sheng couldn't help but laugh loudly. At this time, Ge Ying made a "pop" sound, knelt down, and said urgently: "Your Majesty, Ge Ying did not get the favor of your Majesty to ascend the throne. The news, that's why we support Mi Xiangjiang. Ever since I heard the news recently, I have been uneasy in my heart and can't sleep at night. After thinking about it, I have to kill Mi Xiangjiang. I have apologized to the king. Please look at it. In the past, the general also killed the enemy in battle, so please spare me."

Ge Ying burst into tears, and everyone in the hall sighed, but Chen Sheng had already had murderous intentions, how could Ge Ying change it with just a few words? At this time, Chen Sheng looked sideways at Ge Ying and angrily said: "Begging for honor by betraying the Lord, you can avoid death. ?"

Speaking of this, Chen Sheng said again: "We, the State of Chu, uphold the will of Chu, and the people of Chu responded, so we have a place to compete with the State of Qin. Not only can you not be considerate of the wishes of the people of Chu, but you have secretly harmed the Mixiang territory and killed the Chu king's family. "This is an unforgivable crime. Come on, pull me down!"

Ge Ying still wanted to argue, but two guards rushed forward, tied Ge Ying behind his back, and pulled him out. The hall echoed with Ge Ying's begging for mercy: "Your Majesty, I was wronged!"

Soon, Ge Ying was taken down. Chen Sheng looked at the people in the hall. He sighed, pretending to be sad, and said in a deep voice: "Deng Zong will lead two thousand troops to take over Ge Ying's men and continue to recover Jiujiang County. No one is allowed." error."

Deng Zong walked out of the courtroom and accepted the order: "I will obey the order."

At this time, Chen Sheng stood up and walked to the jade steps. Ge Ying had been killed, the chaos in Jiujiang had been settled, and he no longer had any worries. It was time to send troops to Xingyang. Moreover, continuing to discuss this matter would be fruitless, so why not One battle will determine the outcome. After thinking about this, Chen Sheng loudly ordered: "Wu Guang, Tian Zang, Li Gui, Xu Wu, Deng Shuo are listed."

Everyone came out of the queue and came to the center of the hall. Chen Sheng's eyes wandered on everyone's faces. At this time, Chen Sheng ordered: "Wu Guang is the general, Tian Zang is the general on the left, Li Gui is the right general, Xu Wu is the former general, and Deng Yuo is the rear general." , command an army of 70,000, conquer the sun, and advance to Xingyang!"

"Your Majesty, a thousand years old! We are willing to kill the enemy to the death and serve your Majesty!" Everyone knelt down one after another.

...

On the execution ground, Ge Ying was kicked in the leg by the executioner. He couldn't help but kneel down. At this time, the execution drum began to beat slowly. The executioner picked up the wine bowl and took a big sip. Then he sprayed it on the big knife and said with a ferocious smile: "Don't worry, I always behead very neatly and it won't hurt."

Ge Ying was extremely desperate at this time. If he had not believed Cai Cipifu's lies and had not planned to kill Mi Xiangjiang, perhaps he would not have died on the execution ground today. Even if he fought on the battlefield, his body would be better wrapped in horse leather than now.

But there is no regret medicine in this world. Ge Ying knew that his life had come to an end, and he only hated himself for being greedy. It was not until this moment that Ge Ying figured everything out!

The beating of the execution drum suddenly stopped, the executioner shouted loudly, brandished his sword, and Ge Ying roared to the sky in despair: "Chen Sheng, who I am today is you tomorrow! You will not end well!"

As soon as Ge Ying finished shouting, the sword was suddenly slashed down. With a "crack" sound, Ge Ying's head fell into the bamboo basket, and blood flowed around.

...

The mighty Zhang Chu army marched towards Xingyang, Sanchuan County. They were divided into five groups with great momentum. Along the way, chariots and cavalry were in the field. The soldiers also carried long-geared halberds, which showed their power, and the red Zhang Chu flag faced the wind.

Exhibition.

Li You, the governor of Sanchuan County, was the eldest son of Qin Prime Minister Li Si. At this time, he had received a quick report that Zhang Chu's army was marching north. The situation was critical. Li You immediately wrote a letter and ordered people to hurry up and send it to Xianyang. However, this time
