Chapter 50 Watergate

The next morning, twelve large-wing warships left Ying and went to Chen. Unlike the past, this time, the large-wing warships will not dock at all and will sail directly to Chenying. Six hundred and forty Chu miles are only more than 200 kilometers, which is converted into a sea of ​​140 nautical miles. If the speed is ten knots, the full distance can be reached in fourteen hours. The day is long in summer and can be reached before dark, but after all, it is a boating against the current, and the speed is estimated to be eight knots, which takes seventeen and a half hours to reach.

The Yingdu and Chen Ying didn't know that the king had left Ying and went to Chen, and they couldn't guess that the king would arrive in one day. The outside of Yingdu only vaguely said that the king was not suitable and would not be in the court today to listen to the discussion. Chenying County Government, a regular meeting was held every morning.

"You mean the Qin army sneaked to my city last night?" The right Sima Chen Bu was on the night of yesterday. As soon as he came up, he reported that the Qin army sneaked to the city last night and might attack the city tonight.

"Absurd!" Zuo Sima Chen Gai completely disbelief. "The sun is coming soon and the dark night is gone, how can the Qin people attack the city?"

"It was because the Qin people did not attack the city even though they arrived at the city. If there was a trace of moonlight tonight, the Qin people had not yet been like this?" Chen Bu asked. "County Duke, Sima, yesterday our army destroyed the Qin people's chariots and prevented them from building walls. Therefore, the commander wanted to attack the city to strengthen the morale of his army. Last night, the moonlight was dark and the light did not attack the city. If there was a moonlight tonight, the Qin people would attack me."

"A faction of Miao Yan!" Chen Ban guarded Chengyang. He believed that the Qin people would not attack the city at night. "I have never heard of the siege of the city at night, and the military strategy has not mentioned it. How do the Qin people attack the city at night? How do the soldiers meet the enemy? How do they command?"

"Report to Sima, I met the Qin people in person last night..." Chen Bu really heard a sound under the city last night. When dawn, he looked at it. There was only a mud under the city, and there was no trace of the Qin people. He wanted to go out of the city to explore, but Chen Yingyan ordered no one to leave the city.

"Stop!" Chen Wei shouted softly. "Where are you when I was defending Chengyang? You have never defended the city in your life, so how can you know the essence of defending the city? If the Qin people really attacked the city at night, they would only die in the city, under Chai Fan..."

Chen Zhi scolded loudly, a soap-clothed slutty official came running and whispered a few times in the ear of the county magistrate Chen Jian. Chen Jian was a little sleepy, and he immediately cheered up, his eyes widened, and he reached out and said hurriedly: "So quickly, go and catch people quickly. They are going to Yingdu to board the boat."

They are all their own people, and everyone knows who they are very clear. They are so happy to arrive in Yingdu. In the past few days, the newspaper said that Yingdu is celebrating the people and going out to the outside world. If they go out to the outside world, they will cry...

Chen Bi's scalp exploded instantly. He ran out and shouted: "Who let them out of the city? Why don't you look at it?"

There are three city gates on the east side of Chenying, and the one to the south is the Water Gate. It is usually a place where goods from north to south gather, and it becomes even more lively after the army attacks the city. The corn, weapons, arrows... and the villagers who transported out a boat were only a lot of boats. Unlike in the past, the dock was completely taken over by county soldiers at this time, and the officials of Zaoyi County were also inhabited.

In order to reduce the consumption of corn, only 30,000 strong men were left in the city, but there are some considerations for who can leave the city and what can't leave the city. For example, the undead villagers in the Beizhong Gate must not leave the city last month. Once they go to the Zuoyin Mansion of Yingdu or Wang Ting to cry, everyone will not be able to take advantage of it. There are also the rural soldiers who resisted the Qin cavalry of the North West Gate, especially the two honorary soldiers who were not dead, could not leave the city, and they were even more dangerous - their identities could meet the king directly.

After that day, Chen Jian personally met with the undead village soldiers and two honorary scholars. Not only did he please comfort him, he also gave him gold and silk, and said bluntly that he had made the case for Yingdu to submit his crime and asked the king to punish him. However, more than two thousand undead villagers were allowed to live in one place, in the name of preventing the Qin and Wei periods, and they were kept under strict supervision. If they did not say that they would leave the city, they would not be able to leave the yard.

Of course, the matter will be leaked one day, but if the matter comes to Yingdu after the war, it is not easy to punish the king who has made contributions to defending the city. I am afraid that these people will go to Yingdu to make a big fuss at this time, and then the position of this county magistrate will not be saved no matter what.

‘Bangbangbangbang…’ Under Chen Bi’s leadership, thousands of county soldiers rushed to Dongcheng Water Gate. On the dock boat, Lan Zhong was saying goodbye to Chen Qi and Jiang Su. Beside them, there was an old man wearing a scarf and describing a haggard.

"When you arrive in Yingdu, no one else is trustworthy, but the king is trustworthy. Chen Jian, Chen, if you know that you are going to Yingdu, you will be sent to Yingdu and ask someone to stop him." Lan Zhong reminded. "During this time, Yingdu is opening the outside court. You two are honorary scholars, so you can escort your father straight into the court. If the outside court outside Yingdu has not opened, you will take your father into the thatched gate of the royal palace. There is a hanging drum outside the road gate, called the road drum. There are drumsticks on all sides of this drum, and there are drumsticks next to them, and those who are injustice can attack them. When the drum sounds, the back sleeps will be shaken. If the king is in the palace, he will appear immediately."

"I remember that drum." Jiang Su, who had only a circle of fluff on his mouth, read a few days when he was a child. Last year, he went to the palace for a banquet, which was more known than Chen Qie, the servant.

"It's good to remember it." Lan Zhong nodded with a smile, and he looked at Chen Qie again, "Is it okay to be hurt?"

"No obstacle, even more so." Chen Qie was tied to his thighs. He looked at the county soldiers and battle flags on the east city, with a expressionless face. "Chen Jian, Chen should not destroy the people here and deceive the king. Even if we die, we will send our father-in-law to Yingdu and present him to the king."

"Good brother, I'll wait for you to come back and kill the Qin bandits together." Lan Zhong patted Chen Qi's back, his eyes full of cherishing each other. He never thought that it was Chen Qi, the lowly servant who saved the villagers of Jinwan, Beiximen.

Lan Zhong bowed to the old man and stopped the old man who was avoiding him. "Take a good carefree father. If you see the king, just tell the truth."

"The villain knows it." The old man held a bamboo slip in his hand. This was a look at Japan. The bamboo slip was covered with an old news about the Great Chu. There was a line of big black words on the front page: 'Ten thousand Qin cavalry attacked Chen, and more than a thousand villagers died suddenly.'

"Stop them!" Chen Qin shouted before he left the East Central Gate.

"Don't leave Chen Qie!" The Zaoyi County behind him also shouted. They were so arrogant that they were out of breath after running a few steps, and they could no longer run when they arrived at the city gate.

"No boat must be opened!" As soon as the East Central Gate came out, Chen Chui saw the boat on the dock that was about to leave the shore and shouted that the boat must not be opened. But when he reached the dock, the boat had already untied its cables and left the shore, and was thirty steps away from the shore.

"The county Sima is busy with military affairs, how could it suddenly appear here?" Lan Zhong smiled happily when he saw Chen Bourgeois not chasing the boat.

"It's you?! It's you who caused them to leave the city?" Chen Bu pointed at Lan Zhong and was furious.

"It's not true. I heard that the lotus flowers are blooming, so I came here to appreciate the lotus." Lan Zhong still laughed, not afraid of Chen Bu at all.

"Hmph." A small-winged warship suddenly drove out from the water gate of Nancheng. Chen Bu's angry immediately dissipated, saying, "Don't be happy too early."

"The boat is stopped and we are on the order of Sima to capture Qin Jian." Although Xiaoyi didn't have many moves on the boat, it was still faster than the boat. Someone on the boat shouted to capture Qin Jian.

Seeing the boats on a hundred steps away, Lan Zhong was furious this time. "The dignified Sima actually used such a miserable method and was extremely humble."

"The county government rewards and silk, and they will raise them for good life. It would be fine if they were not grateful. They would also go to Yingdu to accuse the county government. Such people who repay their kindness with grievances and do not want to be in the same boat will be different from the Qin Dynasty?"

"Haha..." Lan Zhong laughed furiously. "How can gold and silk be worshipped by the people of Chen County? How can you become the kindness of the county magistrate? If you defend the city, you will be destroyed, but how can you become unwilling to be in the same boat?" As he said, he suddenly approached Chen Zhi and said, "The county magistrate told us that he had made the best plan to apologize to Yingdu, but in fact he had hidden casualties and deceived the king, saying that the villagers were killed and injured by more than a thousand people."

"More than a thousand! Haha..., more than a thousand!!" Lan Zhong's face was a little distorted as he laughed. "The villager's corpse was stuffed into a four-meter pond. The water in the pond was red for several days, and the fish's belly was covered with human flesh. No one in the city dared to eat fish again. There were indeed more than a thousand casualties, more than a thousand..."

"The crime of this battle is not ours." Chen Ying shouted, and he accused him again: "Lan Zhong! The Qin and Wei army attacked the city, and it was when the whole city's army and civilians were in the same boat. Do you do this so, but you want to present Chen Ying to the Qin people?"

"I don't have the same boat as the lowly ones!" Lan Zhong's expression replied to normal, "Is the lowly ones worthy to defend the city?"

"What's the city sun?" The soldiers from the county in the distance had already boarded the boat, and Chen Bi's heart was finally let go.

"Whose strategy is the guard of Chengyang?" Lan Zhong also looked at the boat, and the boat had turned around and drove back.

"I don't want to go back to the city, I don't want to go back to the city..." When the boat was more than twenty steps away from the shore, someone suddenly shouted, and then a shadow flashed. The man jumped into the lake. It was the somewhat numb old man.

"Since he doesn't want to return to the city, there is no need to save him!" Chen Qin stood on the shore and said coldly. Before he finished speaking, he jumped into the water to catch the old man. It was Jiang Su, a scholar.

"They are all suspected of being in Qin and cannot leave the city." Chen must not dare to kill the wise men, but he can prevent them from leaving during the war. "I have all taken good care of them. If you leave anyone, you will be punished."

"Yes!" The county soldiers shouted together, their voices deafening the eardrums.

"Report to Sima..." A soap official snatched the bamboo slips from the old man and carefully presented them.

"Hmph!" Seeing Jian's head up and saying, 'The villain dared to bid farewell to the sun...', Chen Chai snorted coldly and said, "Let his entire clan get out of the city to collect corpses, and never enter the city!"

"You dare!" Lan Zhong was furious when he heard this. Jiang Su, who was covered in water, suddenly drew his sword and wanted to kill Chen Chai on the spot. It was faster than him. The county soldiers protected all the halberds and spears on their hands.

"Want to kill me?" Chen Bei laughed in disguise. He pushed the halberd spear and walked under the divine blade, saying, "You kill me today, and the Qin army will enter the city tomorrow. Kill me! Kill!"

"No!" Jiang Su was a young man, but he was only seventeen or eighteen years old. He was trying to slash him, and Lan Zhong grabbed him with a hand. "Chen Ying could not leave him unless the Grand Sima Mansion sent him another general."
