Not long after, Chen Chong seemed to be floating in the boundless and quiet lake. But there were colorful lights and shadows on the top, floating in a bright light. And his past events from childhood to the present flashed vividly in the light and shadow.
Yingchuan's child, who could recite poems and compose poems at the age of seven, discussed history with Xun Kui, and his skills astonished everyone. In the fifth year of Xiping, the party was re-instated. He said goodbye to his parents and went to the capital to study. He entered Taixue and Xuehai to discuss the classics.
After winning a great victory, he was appreciated by Zheng Xuan, the god of scriptures, and was worshiped as a friend of the year. People at the time praised him as the head of the dragon. However, after leaving, he did not see his mother for the last time. After mourning, he traveled to several states in search of like-minded people.
With little income, he was disheartened and went to Youzhou to form an alliance with Liu Bei. In the third year of Guanghe, he persuaded Xiaoling to send out a large army to conquer Tanshihuai and conquer the royal court.
In the seventh year of Guanghe, in the first year of Zhongping, the Yellow Turbans raised troops in Guandong, and war broke out. He and Liu Bei raised troops in Dongping. When the country was in crisis, they fought hard to support the crisis; and then finally surrounded the Yellow Turbans in the giant city.
Lu, persuaded Zhang Jiao to surrender, but this led to a big mistake, causing the bones of Qianqiu Pavilion to pile up.
After that, he was imprisoned for resisting the imperial edict, and was rescued by Zheng Xuan and Cai Yong. He was not allowed to be reused and was assigned to teach in Taixue. After the death of his grandfather Chen Shi, he asked for orders to go to Xihe. He first cut off his fingers to make an alliance with Baibo, and later defeated the Xiongnu for several years.
However, Xiaoling Yuji, the Luoyang coup, Zhu Jun's disobedience in important positions, still made Dong Zhuo usurp power; he joined forces with Yuan Shu and Sun Jian to attack Dong, and was close to success, but unexpectedly still ended up with Sun Jian's tragic death and the separation of various ministries; later
When the Liang people were in civil strife and Guanzhong was invaded by fire, they defeated the Liang army with all their strength and supported the emperor. They thought they were on the right track from then on. Hou Ping Geng Cang destroyed Yuan Shu, killed Yuan Shao, and appeased Jiuzhou. However, when the great cause was too late,
Betrayed repeatedly. Now, despite all the effort, he managed to defeat Liu Fan and returned to Chang'an, only to witness the tragedy of his whole family being massacred at the gates of the city. He was so close but could do nothing. He turned out to be such a failure.
Recalling this, Chen Chong took a slight breath. He felt that he was sinking in the darkness, and his limbs and five senses were gradually disappearing. But he had no desire to struggle, as if he had reached eternal tranquility. At this moment, he suddenly heard someone speaking.
Calling him, the voice seemed to be in his ears, wrapping him gently like a ball of white catkins, melting the silence around him, and then slowly became clearer, the voice said: "Tingjian, Tingjian!"
Is it his wife? He opened his mouth forcefully and shouted slightly: "Is it A Yan? A Yan!" However, he thought, A Yan has already died in front of his eyes!
But the voice said angrily: "Idiot, it's me, Ah Bai!"
At this time, Chen Chong woke up from his trance. He reluctantly opened his eyes, but he felt that it was a dim lake. It took a long time for him to wake up. But he heard Dong Bai's voice. Although his hands had no strength, he still felt it.
Dong Bai held his hand.
Chen Chong originally had thousands of words, but he didn't know how to express them. He paused for a long time and only said: "How long has it been?"
Dong Bai said softly: "It's been six hours, and now everyone is standing outside, waiting for you to wake up."
Chen Chong could barely see clearly. He found that candles were lit around him, and it turned out that it was already night. He coughed twice and said slowly: "Let everyone come in, I am feeling better."… p>
After finishing speaking, he couldn't stop breathing. Then he heard the footsteps of people rushing in, which made him a little dizzy. At this time, Chen Chong had the strength to sit up, lowered his head and rubbed his eyes. After a while, the model lake in front of him gradually
After restraining himself, he raised his head and looked around, and saw that everyone was standing still like rocks, but their eyes were all turned towards him.
The first thing Chen Chong said was: "Is there anything strange happening in the city while I'm resting?" As soon as the words came out, he immediately felt a burst of self-blame, and then asked: "What happened to the corpses of my family members now?" After saying that,
These words cut his heart like a dull knife, forcing him to bend over and cough repeatedly.
Chen Deng waited for him to stop coughing, then stepped forward and replied: "Don't worry, after returning to the camp, I have been maintaining order in the army. All departments are heavily guarded, and there is no rash move in the city."
He paused for a moment, carefully glanced at Chen Chong's face, and continued: "As for Shijun's relatives, I have sent people to collect them all and arrange their remains. However, there are no good coffins in the surrounding countryside. I sent people to buy them, but only found
Just a few thin coffins, I have sent people..."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Chong interrupted him and said, "That's good, don't bother Yuanlong."
He asked again: "Where is the coffin parked?"
Chen Deng replied: "We stopped behind the envoy's tent. I have already ordered that the ice be changed once a day."
Chen Chong nodded slightly, coughed twice, and then said: "I'm fine. Don't worry, everyone. If nothing happens, let's go and rest first. It's late at night now. If anything happens, we'll discuss it tomorrow." Everyone was considerate and soon dispersed. However, Dong Yue still stood in the tent and did not leave, looking at Chen Chong with a troubled expression.
Chen Chong saw that he seemed to be having difficulties, so he asked Dong Bai to pull down the tent and go out, and asked Dong Yue harmoniously: "What do you want to say, Captain?"
Seeing that there was no one around, Dong Yue immediately knelt down to Chen Chong and said, "Your Majesty! Someone suddenly came into my camp today and said that he had something important to discuss with your Majesty. This person has a special status. I dare not discuss it with others. I can only wait for your Majesty's decision."
."
Chen Chong asked in confusion: "Who?"
Dong Yue came closer and said, "Jia Xu."
When Chen Chong heard this name, he suddenly felt dizzy. He managed to sit still and confirmed again: "Jia Xu?"
Seeing that there seemed to be fire in his eyes, Dong Yue couldn't help feeling frightened, but he still said bravely: "Yes, Jia Xu! He came down from the city in the evening and came to my camp."
He was afraid that Chen Chong would suspect him of collaborating with the enemy, so he immediately added: "If the envoy doesn't want to see you, I will immediately call people back to the camp and chop him with a knife!"
Chen Chong pressed his hands to stop him, then leaned back slightly, stroking his forehead and said: "The two armies are fighting. If you don't kill, let him come. It doesn't have to be like this. Let him come in."

Dong Yue responded, turned around and went out, and came back soon. Chen Chong looked behind him and met Jia Xu's eyes.
This was the first time Chen Chong and Jia Xu met. In Chen Chong's first sight, Jia Xu was not as mean and vicious as he imagined: his temples were gray, his face was pale, and his cheeks could always be seen as sharp as a knife.
Looking at his cheekbones, looking at his simple and elegant gray-white sheepskin long fur, and his pair of gentle eyes with no desires, he looks like a Taoist old man with a pure heart. Only his tall and straight standing posture and calloused hands,
Only then can we realize that he was once a warrior...
Jia Xu also looked at Chen Chong for a while. Obviously, he did not expect that the weak and panting middle-aged man in front of him would be the famous Xiping Dragon Head. He couldn't help but think to himself: "Lü Bu will be so angry if he does this."
Chen Chong is indeed a stroke of genius." He then sighed in his heart: "What a pity! It seems that he has recovered."
Being in a weak position, Jia Xu had no time to be self-respecting. He bowed to Chen Chong and said the most important thing first: "What happened today was all done by Lu Bu and was not His Majesty's will. Please express my condolences to Longshou."
."
Chen Chong looked at him for a moment, and then said softly: "Your Majesty sent the envoy out of the city to show sympathy for the guilty minister?"
Jia Xu said: "Your Majesty just admitted his mistake to Longshou. He mistakenly trusted the female officials and was unexpectedly relied on by the female officials, which led to the division of the country and the disaster for the common people. Therefore, he regrets it in his heart and hopes that Longshou can forgive him." p>
Chen Chong almost laughed at the absurdity, but in the end he said calmly: "Your Majesty, do you mean that everything will continue as usual?"
Jia Xu lowered his head and responded: "That's exactly what I mean."
Chen Chong said "heh" and pointed behind him: "There are more than eight coffins behind me. Since Lu Bu entered the capital, he has killed from Xijing to Hedong, and then from Hedong to Sanfu. Today, more than ten thousand people have died.
?I can carry on as usual, but how can they carry on as usual?!" At the end of the sentence, Chen Chong felt angry and couldn't help coughing again.
Jia Xu waited until he got better, then slowly continued: "Dragon head, don't say angry words. You and I both know that you will never touch His Majesty. I am here to be entrusted by Your Majesty to intercede for the two palaces."<
/p>
When Chen Chong heard this, he immediately remembered the scene with the emperor last time, and when he thought of Cai Yanchen, he couldn't help but feel a surge of sadness in his heart. He said, "Didn't your Majesty tell you? I have promised him a long time ago that I will not
It will harm my wife and children." Without waiting for Jia Xu to answer, he stared at Jia Xu and said, "I am not a person who kills indiscriminately, but I am definitely not a non-killer. Some things, in the final analysis, still have to be explained."<
/p>
Jia Xu's face did not change and he asked calmly: "Who are they?"
Chen Chongxian said: "Jian
Ping General Dong Cheng escaped from battle in the Bohai Sea and attacked Hangu Pass. He should be killed for his crime."
Jia Xu nodded slightly and said, "Yes."
Chen Chong added: "Fu Wan, Fu De and his son, as relatives of the country, conspired with Dong Zhao to rebel, and should be killed if found guilty."
Jia Xu continued: "This is what it should be."
Chen Chong continued: "Yang Biao, Yang Xiu and his son, secretly hid weapons and armor and designed to assassinate me. They should be killed if found guilty."
Jia Xu sighed: "It's no harm to the family, but the dragon head is already a benevolent person."
When Chen Chong heard this, he couldn't help but sneer on his face, and finally said: "And Lu Bu and you, who are good at killing state ministers and plundering people's property, should be killed for their crimes!"
Although Chen Chong has been angry sometimes in the past few decades, this is the first time he has spoken a series of words "kill" as sharply as a knife and like a thunderbolt. But even though the words were directed at himself, Jia Xu
His expression did not change, and he said: "The dragon head said this, but he has wronged me. When it comes to killing people, I have always done it to protect myself, and I have never killed anyone with my own hands. When it comes to property, I can only save money at home.
Thousands of dragon heads, if you beg for a living, it is wrong, everyone in the world will die."
Chen Chong sneered and said: "I'm afraid that some people will beg for a living and more people will die."
Jia Xu smiled after hearing this. He came to talk to him again and said, "What if I can calm the chaos in Longyou and eliminate the war?"
Seeing Chen Chong's silence, Jia Xu took a breath and continued: "If I can persuade the three towns to surrender, I hope Longshou can spare my life. If I can't persuade the three towns to surrender, I will go back to the capital to die myself."
."
Chen Chong looked at the poisonous warrior for a moment, and thoughts surged in his mind. He had never met such an equal opponent before, which made him feel a rare fear. But Jia Xu's words also made him unable to refute, yes.
, if it is wrong for people to want to live, why do people live and why do they die? He thought about the dead people, and then he was overwhelmed by the great sadness, and finally waved his hands and sighed: "That's okay."
Jia Xu immediately thanked him and quickly left the camp. After returning to the palace, he talked about this exchange with the emperor, and he couldn't help but express his evaluation of Chen Chong: "You can't be angry with your troops, you can't be sad with others, you can do what you want without breaking the rules. There are really people in the world.
This person?" He then sighed, "If this person is here, Your Majesty, don't take any chances, just live."
The emperor was silent when he heard this. The two did not talk about tomorrow's war, but they both knew that Chang'an would open the city tomorrow. The four-month-long Guanzhong war would also end tomorrow and come to an end. p>
