After hearing this, Chen Deng smiled and said: "I have resigned for many years and have no intention of becoming an official anymore. I am afraid that I will disappoint our distinguished guests."
After hearing this, Gao Lin was unhappy and asked: "Are you really unwilling to be an official?"
"I'm sorry, but I obey." Chen Deng cupped his hands and said.
Gao Lin said: "In this case, don't blame me for being ruthless. There are more than 50,000 households in Shouchun City, at least hundreds of thousands. Although the city is strong, it is a pity that I have few soldiers. Wu Jun knows that I have occupied Shouchun.
, I will definitely send troops to seize the land. I am not willing to give up just now, but if the Wu army really attacks by force, our army will
If I can't resist, I can only be forced to flee. But before I leave, I will set fire to Shouchun City, burn everything in the city, and leave the rest to the Wu army. In this way, the people in the city will be killed in the sea of fire, or
Displacement, all of these are the disasters caused by you not letting me be the governor..."
After hearing this, Chen Deng frowned tightly. He didn't know whether what Gao Lin said was true or false, but regardless of whether it was true or false, he felt a threat posed by Gao Lin.
Guo Jia hurriedly interjected: "One general can make thousands of bones wither. This is a very reasonable saying. Mr. Sir, for many years, he has spent all his wealth to help the people, just to win people's hearts. Now everyone in the city knows that Chen Yuanlong is a great sage.
Cai, if you serve as the prefect, the people in the city will have a backbone. And I heard that Mr. Yuanlong is very resourceful and our country's scouts
I came to report that Sun Ce personally led 50,000 elite soldiers all the way from Hefei, with the purpose of fighting for Shouchun. The enemy's army is strong and we have few soldiers, so I am afraid that we cannot defend it for a long time. But with Mr. Yuanlong's talent, even though Wu Guo's 50,000 soldiers
If the enemy comes, there must be a strategy to defeat the enemy. The reason why I came here with His Highness this time is to seek advice from Sir, and I hope that Sir will give you some advice."
Although Chen Deng was rebellious, he still cared about his reputation forever. First he was intimidated by Gao Lin, and now he saw Guo Jia being such a courteous and virtuous corporal, and his heart was slightly moved.
Guo Jia observed the words and saw that Chen Deng was moved by his words, so he continued: "Sir, at this moment, our country of Huaxia has launched a full-scale attack on the country of Wu. No one can resist us.
launched a war of unification.
Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion at the end of the Han Dynasty, the world has been in constant strife, and then evolved into a struggle for hegemony between princes, which has been going on for twenty years. Our emperor rose from Liaodong and fought fiercely among the heroes. With his extraordinary courage and superb resourcefulness, he defeated several heroes.
, now only Wu Guopian is left
An Yiyu. Our country and Wu State were originally allies, but a few days ago Wu State sent people to our imperial capital to spy on the military situation. After the incident, Wu State not only refused to admit it, but also felt confident. So our emperor became angry and vowed to unify the north and south of the Yangtze River.
form a complete
Only when the country is unified can an unimpaired country open up an unprecedented prosperous age. If you, sir, can help our country of China at this time, you will be contributing to the great cause of reunification. You will leave your name in history in the future and you will definitely be famous for generations to come..."
"If sir refuses, I will have no choice but to order the massacre of the city. Hundreds of thousands of people in the city will die because of me alone. Will sir feel better?" Gao Lin took the opportunity to threaten.
Guo Jia and Gao Lin, the master and apprentice, sang in harmony and cooperated very well. Chen Deng was under pressure and breathed a sigh of relief. He finally clasped his fists and bowed: "The General King and the Duke of Zhen are here to invite you at the same time. If Yuan Long refuses,
Just too ignorant of current affairs
What's more, for the sake of Yuan Long, who plunged the people into dire straits, Yuan Long's heart would definitely not be at peace. Yuan Long was willing to temporarily take over the post of Jiujiang prefect. After repelling Wu Guoqiang's troops, he also asked the prince and Zhen Guo Gong to make another appointment.
Please be wise."
"If you want to do it, do it for a long time. What's the point of just doing it for a while? Sir, please rest assured. Although Jiujiang County is the land of the Wu Kingdom, it is now occupied by our Huaxia Kingdom. The people are the people of our Huaxia Kingdom. What can I do?"
Will you have the heart to let the people suffer? If Sir, if you refuse in the future, it is better to refuse now. I, Gao Lin, dare to be the first for the world and burn down this city with one blow."
After hearing this, Chen Deng saw that Gao Lin had a serious look on his face and did not look like he was lying. He thought to himself: "I have heard for a long time that the great general of the Huaxia Kingdom acted boldly and resolutely. If he really did this, it would be me."
Chen Yuanlong’s sin is too great.”
Thinking of this, Chen Deng kowtowed again and said: "Then... just follow the prince's orders."
After Gao Lin heard this, he laughed, grabbed Chen Deng's hand, pulled Chen Deng and walked outside, saying as he walked: "From now on, you will be the prefect of Jiujiang. However, our country of Huaxia has abolished the county.
Establish a government, so
You are now the magistrate of Jiujiang and a second-rank official. I will ask you to join the military and join the army for our Dragon Scale Army. Now that the enemy is facing us, there is no need to delay. We will go to the prefect's mansion to plan everything now, and I also ask Mr. Chen to give you some advice."
Chen Deng laughed awkwardly, but he didn't expect that Gao Lin was really resolute and did what he said.
Guo Jia followed them, thinking to himself: "Chen Yuanlong was so talented that he had a very high prestige in the eyes of the people in Shouchun, and everyone in the counties of Jiujiang also knew about it. This time
With Chen Yuanlong's help, Jiujiang County will definitely be in the pocket of our country, I just need to temporarily step back from the scene and let Chen Yuanlong do his best."
The group quickly returned to the prefect's mansion, and Gao Lin opened the map without hesitation, then pointed to the map on the table and said to Chen Deng: "Master Chen, Sun Ce's army has arrived here, and the vanguard troops have arrived.
Thousands of cavalry will arrive in the afternoon, how will our army defeat the enemy?"
Chen Deng glanced sideways at Guo Jia and asked, "How can I do my best when the Taiwei is here?"
Guo Jia hurriedly said: "Sir, I have racked my brains but can't think of a way to stop the Wu army. If you have a plan, sir, just tell me. You don't have to worry about whether I have a plan or not."
Although Chen Deng knew that Guo Jia was speaking modestly, he also understood that this was Guo Jia deliberately pushing the opportunity to make meritorious deeds to himself. After all, Guo Jia was also the think tank around Emperor Gao Fei of China. If he had no strategy to retreat from the enemy,
, how could he continue to stay in Huaxia? So, he gave Guo Jia a grateful smile, and then said: "In this case, Yuanlong will do his duty. Wu Jun went from Hefei to Shouchun for two days.
More than a hundred places apart
Here, the Wu army rushed from Hefei, and they would inevitably mobilize a large number of troops. By the time they arrived, it would probably be evening, and by then the Wu army would be exhausted. In order to give the army a good rest, the Wu army
They will inevitably set up camp outside the city. Our army can then wait for work and catch them by surprise. While they are setting up camp, we can send out several groups of cavalry to constantly harass them, tire them more and more, and provoke them to fight with our army."
"Well, this is a good strategy. When the time comes, I will lead the soldiers of the Dragon Scale Army to kill him without leaving any trace behind..." Gao Lin said excitedly.
Chen Deng said hurriedly: "No, I mean to lose to the Wu army, not to win. This time it is just the vanguard force. If our army defeats this force first, with the only strength in our hands, we will not be able to win."
Wipe out this army. And there is an army of 40,000 coming behind them. After defeating this army,
Wu Jun will definitely feel that our army is very powerful and will launch a fierce attack on Shouchun. If we attack continuously day and night, I am afraid we will not be able to hold on for long. Instead of alerting the enemy, it is better to show weakness to Wu Jun, so that Wu Jun will lose to our army.
Being on guard makes the next move easier."
Gao Lin glanced at Guo Jia and saw that Guo Jia was stroking his beard happily. He already agreed with Chen Deng's suggestion, so he said to Chen Deng: "Okay, then I will follow your plan."
So, according to the strategy proposed by Chen Deng, Gao Lin ordered the soldiers in the city to silence their troops and close the city gates tightly. From the outside, it looked like a lifeless empty city.
In the evening, Han Dang led 10,000 cavalry to Shouchun City. According to Sun Ce's instructions, he first built a camp outside the city and sent soldiers to patrol. He also did not forget to inquire about the movements of Shouchun City.
Han Dang led dozens of cavalrymen to the outside of Shouchun City. When he saw the suspension bridge raised, the gates were tightly closed, there was not a single Chinese military flag on the city walls, and no one could be seen, he couldn't help but doubt in his heart: "
It’s strange, is it possible that the Chinese nation is afraid of the fierceness of Wu’s military force, so they all hid in other places to temporarily avoid the sharp edge?”
When he thought of this, Han Dang did not dare to stay. In order to confirm whether there was anyone in the city, he took the cavalry and looked around the entire city, but found no one. After returning to the place, Han Dang was about to leave the place when he suddenly saw
When a figure appeared on the tower, Han Dang looked around, but Han Dang couldn't figure out who that person was.
The person standing on the city tower was Chen Deng. He also looked at Han Dang and others below the city from a distance, and asked loudly: "Who is the leader of the horsemen outside the city?"
"That's right, Han Dang!" Han Dang replied loudly, "Who are you?"
Chen Deng pretended to be frightened, bowed hurriedly, and then replied: "I am Chen Deng, whose courtesy name is Yuanlong. I have lived in Shouchun for many years and am engaged in business..."
Before Chen Deng could finish speaking, Han Dang interrupted Chen Deng and said, "I know you, Chen Yuanlong in Xiapi, is well known to everyone in Jiujiang County, and your reputation is far-reaching. I don't want to meet you here. I'm disrespectful. Mr. Chen
,Is there anyone else in the city?"
"There are hundreds of thousands of ordinary people, not a single one is missing. But they don't dare to show their faces because of fear."
"Where is the Chinese army?" Han Dang was more concerned about this question and asked.
"All of them have evacuated. They heard that His Majesty personally led the army and knew that they could not withstand the army, so they withdrew."
"In that case, why don't you open the city gate and let us in?" Han Dang asked.
"I met the general for the first time. Hundreds of thousands of people in the city trusted me with their lives. I have a heavy responsibility. How can I be careless? But since the general has led the army here, I can open the city gate and let the general go.
When others come in, the general will take charge of the defense of this city to protect against the Chinese state." Chen Deng said.
After Han Dang heard this, he laughed wildly and was overjoyed. He shouted: "Very good. Please ask Mr. Yuan Long to open the city gate. I will immediately send an order for the army to come over, then march into the city and take over the defense."
