Chapter 120 Dream
At night, the wilderness was pitch black, and bonfires were lit in the campsite to drive away the coldness of the camp soldiers. Snowflakes fell and fell on the tent, making a little noise.
In the tent, Xu Deyan held his wife, Princess Lechang's hand, sat on her shoulders, looking at the fire silently.
In a disaster today, Princess Lechang was almost kidnapped by the thieves. Thanks to the rescue, the couple escaped the disaster. The captured thieves confessed the whole story. After hearing this, Xu Deyan broke out in a cold sweat.
He took his wife to Guangling by land and went to Guangling by land. When he was resting at the station on the way, he was targeted. Therefore, today they are in danger and there is no possibility of escape.
If it weren't for the move to the government army, it would be all over.
It was a time of chaos and the princess was not in good condition. The other party accused people, killed the others to silence them, and then destroyed the corpse and traces. Even if the government wanted to investigate afterwards, it would not be found.
The couple, who almost separated the yin and yang, had not had time to be grateful for it for too long, and they were frightened to discover a cruel fact: they had just left the tiger's den and entered the wolf's den again.
The chief general of this official army, Shawn Yue, spoke a Guanzhong accent. Xu Deyan did not hear that it was the Guanzhong accent at that time, but later he realized that the situation was wrong: the officials who fled to Chen in the south were like this accent.
It is unlikely that surrendering generals from the north will be highly valued by the imperial court, let alone command an army with many cavalry.
Xu Deyan thought it was just a coincidence at first, but many soldiers in this army had problems with their accents, mostly in the tone of the Jingxiang land.
Also, the war horses of this army were all fat and strong, which were very comparable to those of the southern horses. Although the court did not have elite cavalry, it was impossible for such a cavalry to wander around the river instead of going to the front line to resist the Zhou army.
All signs indicate that this army is not an official army, but a Zhou army pretending to be an official army.
Xu Deyan was terrified of this situation. He didn't know how the other party led his troops to wander here, but his identity as well as his wife had been exposed, and the other party would never let him go.
And his wife is so beautiful, she is probably doomed.
The fate of husband and wife is probably...
Thinking of this, Xu Deyan couldn't help but hold his wife's hand tightly, and Princess Lechang also realized this and looked at her husband with a pale face, trying to say something, but she couldn't say it.
The two looked at each other speechlessly, feeling sad, and then Xu Deyan put Princess Lechang in his arms without moving.
Xu Deyan was the grandson of the famous writer Xu Ling. He also had great achievements in literature and was a recognized talented son. Later, Princess Shang Lechang became the son-in-law of the State of Chen. The two were talented and beautiful, and they were a pair made of heaven and earth.
After marriage, the two respect each other and lived a sweet life. Xu Deyan's career was very ordinary. He never thought about high-ranking officials and generous salaries, but he wanted to stay with Princess Lechang forever.
Princess Lechang also thought so. Since the wedding night that day, their dream was to live a peaceful life and live together.
However, Chen Guo, who is turbulent and has internal and external troubles, is now in turmoil. The weak Xu Deyan cannot save his wife from the royal family. Once the country is broken, his wife will be taken away by the winner because she is a member of the royal family.
Then because of her beauty, she was treated as a heavy reward to those who had made contributions.
By then, the couple will never meet again, and their initial dream will be like a mirror and a moon.
It was not that Xu Deyan had thought of taking his wife away from home, finding a place where no one knew him, and living an incognito life, but he did not have that financial resources or strength, and could not keep the family safe and sound.
The best proof is that being attacked by thieves today, and now that it falls into the hands of Zhou army, Xu Deyan can't protect his wife.
He thought that bad luck would not come until the demise of Chen State, but he did not expect that that day would come so quickly and so suddenly.
Looking at his wife's face, Xu Deyan felt like a knife, but he was powerless. He was incapable of taking his wife on a horse and fled. He could only watch his wife be possessed, and it would be difficult to meet again in the future.
The young couple was in a miserable and miserable state. He heard the noise outside. It seemed that another group of cavalry came over, and the sound of horse hooves was densely tide. I don’t know how many soldiers were acting.
Footsteps sounded, and a soldier shouted twice outside, then opened the curtain and came in, saying that the main general invited him and the two of them to come over.
It's late at night, and the other party suddenly came to invite him, which was definitely not a good thing. Xu Deyan's face turned pale. Looking at his wife who was crying and without tears, he forced a smile, got up and put on a cloak on his wife, and then followed the soldiers to leave the bill.
Walking in the camp where the fires were shining, there were figures everywhere. The soldiers did not sleep at this time, but were collecting tents.
Many people were changing clothes, taking off Chen Jun's military uniforms, and changing into black military uniforms.
Black is the color of Zhou army uniforms.
Although his guess came true, Xu Deyan was still shocked. This Zhou army was so bold that he actually avoided the eyes and ears of the government army and appeared on the bank of the river between Guabu and Liyang. He didn't understand what the other party wanted to do.
Xu Deyan suddenly felt a move in his heart, looked south, and then his pupils shrank:
On the dark river to the south, a little fishing fire was flashing and getting brighter and brighter. It seemed that many ships were crossing the river and coming to the north shore.
Once the ship is available, there are also soldiers. Isn’t it near Jiankang on the south bank downstream?
Xu Deyan felt his heart beating violently, and he held his wife's hand tightly, looking dazed.
I don’t know how long he had left, but he and his wife followed the soldiers to the bustling riverside. Scattered torches were lit here, reflecting a large number of people and many war horses were neighing.
At this time, many simple trests have been built by the river, extending from the shore to the river.
The river water slapped the shore, making a "slope" sound, and war horses sniffed from time to time, while the friction of armor leaves on soldiers as they walked formed a wonderful music.
A wooden stand was equipped with a strange device, and it was flashing fire towards the river surface, as if sending a signal. Xu Deyan didn't have time to look at it, so he came to General Yu.
At this time, General Yu Ye changed into military uniforms. Seeing Xu Deyan and Princess Lechang coming, he came forward and laughed:
"Mr. Xu, I'm really sorry just now. Because I have to hide my head and tail because of military affairs, I frightened my husband and wife."
Xu Deyan heard that the other party actually called himself "iman", and couldn't help but be stunned: he just thought the other party was an ordinary general of the Zhou army, but he had never expected that he was the vassal king of the Zhou Kingdom!
Yuwen Wen looked at the two miserable young couples in front of him, and had no other thoughts and went straight to the point: "The Prince Xu is really not to hide it. I will not let you go."
This is an obvious thing. Xu Deyan and his wife were speechless and held their hands tighter.
"Now that the war is in chaos, the virtuous couple will set off with me, so there will be some care on the way."
Now that things have come to this point, Xu Deyan cannot resist, held his wife's hand tightly, and asked helplessly: "I don't know... what to call me?"
"Haha, I am the King of Zhou, Prince Xu, don't worry, I just follow me across the river and walk."
"Cross...cross the river?"
Xu Deyan still couldn't believe that the other party was just crossing the river so carelessly, how could it be so smooth?
Previously, when the Zhou army attacked Jingkou and attacked Jiankang, he and his wife were in Liyang. They learned that the official army later controlled the Shitou Shou east of Jiankang City and west of Jiankang City.
So how did this King of Bin of Zhou cross the river? Where did these ships come from? How could the navy stationed in Shitouzhu allow these ships to cross the river?
Yuwen Wen would not answer Xu Deyan's question because it had no meaning.
In the evening, he released a few white doves, and the white doves returned to the nest and returned to Jiankang.
Not long after nightfall, Yuwen Wen sent 500 elite troops to swim across the Yangtze River and arrive on the other side. He happened to be near the Stone City west of Jiankang City, and attacked the elite troops sent by the Zhou army in Taicheng, and easily captured the Stone City.
Then he recruited the people of Jiankang as boatmen, rowed all kinds of civilian boats, and picked up his troops across the river.
Therefore, his goal of detour was not Guangling, but Jiankang, which was an unparalleled achievement.
Since the Yongjia Rebellion, he will end the chaotic times that have lasted nearly three hundred years.
The supreme glory of pacifying the world must be, and he can only obtain it.
This is Yuwen Wen’s dream, and everyone has to give way to this.
Therefore, even if the Wang Jun attacked Taicheng and the time was right, he would not be allowed to capture the emperor, prince, or clan of the State of Chen, but instead force the other party to escape to Guangling, because this credit was his.
Whoever dares to rob will be in trouble.
Therefore, even if he became the commander of Ping Chen, he would not stay in Huaibei to command the army south, but instead would risk going here, lead troops across the Yangtze River to Jiankang, and turn the external battle into internal battles.
With Jiankang as the center, we concentrated our troops to attack out, allowing the resistance of Chen troops from all over the country to collapse.
He was the only one who helped Chen Shubao to pacify his first achievements. For this reason, Yuwen Wen did not hesitate to use all his resources and let Chen Shubao "go on the wind". He also used the knife to kill people. While killing Kong Fan, he borrowed the head to use it.
After going through a lot of hardships, now he and Jiankang are separated by the Yangtze River.
Countless ships arrived on the north shore like a river. Countless soldiers on the shore were ready. Yuwen Wen looked at the tiger and wolf army, drew out his sword, waved it south, and roared loudly:
Chapter completed!
