?The waves on the Yangtze River are surging, and a bright moon is reflected on the surface of the river, and the waves are crushed into thousands of silver snakes. Above them, Chen's navy warships are crossing the river, and their target is Xiyang City on the north bank.

Because the north wind is blowing, the warships have collected sails and rowed by sailors. Each ship has dozens of people as prize players, so they move very quickly, and it looks like centipedes floating on the water and moving forward quickly.

Chibiji, the upper reaches of the north shore, leads to the rapid flow of the river bank to the southern suburbs of Xiyang City. It is not easy to moor boats on this section of the river on weekdays, but that is just not easy, not impossible.

Compared with the three-legged cattle sailing skills of the northerners, the Southern Dynasty Navy has been the overlords of the Yangtze River for hundreds of years. The Southern Dynasty Jin, Song, Qi, Liang, and now Chen rely on the navy to block the Northern Dynasty troops north of the Yangtze River.

The northerners can play various tricks when riding horses, but the southerners are not inferior to the boating. It is not inferior to the rushing river bank. What is the difficulty for the veterans of the Southern Dynasty naval army who have been making a living on the boat? The fishermen think it is easy for them to get a tricky job.

On the vanguard warship, a man wearing a mink cloak stood at the bow of the boat facing the bitter north wind. He stood like this and looked into the dark Xiyang City ahead.

They were at the center of the river and were about one mile away from the north bank. Xiyang City under the moonlight was pitch black, but there seemed to be a faint light at the south gate. A soldier on the mast shouted downwards and then a general led his way forward to report:

"King, there is a signal in Xiyang City."

The man did not turn around and asked, "Isn't it a mistake?"

"No, the night owls can see clearly at night than during the day, with seven lanterns a lot."

"Okay. Very good." After saying that, the man turned around and looked at the general. "Go forward at full speed and log in as soon as possible. Don't delay!"

Under the moonlight, the man's face was wearing an iron mask and could not see his true appearance. There are few generals who fight with masks these days, so the famous general Lanling King Gao Changgong is one of them, but he has been dead for eight years and there are no iron-faced generals in the world.

The iron-faced man walked into the cabin, and the brazier was lit in the cabin, which was very warm. The waiting entourage immediately stepped forward and took off the cloak. The man sat straight on the couch and brought the warm wine up.

"Drinking alcohol will make you miss the problem, just warm water." The man waved his hand and asked someone to change the water. Another person held a glass mirror. He took off his mask and picked up the glass mirror and looked at the hideous face in the mirror and smiled:

"Yuwen Wen, I'm waiting for you so hard!"

Chen Shuling looked at his strange and familiar face in the mirror and was full of crazy eyes. Since Jiangling was ruined by Yuwen Wen, he has never forgotten to give him the way he did. After waiting for nearly half a year, he finally waited for the time of revenge.

Jiangjinshi was burned, and the Chen army besieged Jiangling could no longer wait, but he had no choice but to withdraw his troops. Chen Shuling, the commander of the Chen army, who led the Northern Expedition to Liang State, was destroyed as a defeated general and could no longer compete for the throne of Dachen.

I thought that after taking Jiangling, I could return to the court with the army in my hands, and kick the prince Chen Shubao out in one fell swoop and let his father abdicate and give way to the wise. All this was about to be realized after taking Jiangling, but Yuwen Wen was disturbed.

His cheek was injured by the opponent with a hidden weapon when Yuwen Wen led his troops to attack Jiangjinshu. This injury would at most make his face stiff but the wound would not leave too much scar. However, the arrow shot on his face was ambushed by Yuwen Wen halfway while rescuing the Jiangling Chen army the next day completely destroyed his original correct appearance.

It was a wound that could never be recovered. From then on, Chen Shuling put on a mask and lived like a mouse that could not be seen. In this world, anyone except his father and princess would involuntarily avoid his true face when they saw his true face.

The court officials would not regard a prince who could not even show his face as the emperor, not to mention that Chen Shuling had been defeated and Jiangling's generals would not support him. All this was thanks to Yuwen Wen. He destroyed his future and his ambitions. Chen Shuling originally wanted to ascend the throne and become emperor, and he had to lead the Chen army to fight in the north to unify the Central Plains and rule the world.

When Chen Shuling thought of this, he couldn't help but clenched his fists and almost knocked over the table, but he still held back. There was a volume of imperial edict on the table that was delivered by eunuchs this morning. The other party sent it to Wuchang from Jiankang day and night five days ago. The content was very simple, and Chen Shuling rushed back to Jiankang immediately because the current emperor of Chen State - his father wanted to see him.

"Father..." Chen Shuling looked at the imperial edict and became a god. His father Chen Xu was the current emperor of Chen State and could not afford to rest. Unlike the previous few times, Chen Xu was terminally ill this time and could not recover any longer. It was also expected that he could be used to steer Long Bintian.

Chen Xu was seriously ill. Crown Prince Chen Shubao and a group of princes were all serving in front of the imperial bed, but the second son Chen Shuling was missing. Among the princes of the Chen State, except for Crown Prince Chen Shubao, Chen Shuling, the King of Shixing, was the most doting Chen Xu, so this absent second son has always been a heart disease of Chen Xu.

Chen Shuling knew that his father urged him to go back, but he would never leave. Since October, he learned that his enemy Yuwen Wen had come to Bazhou to take office as governor, he rushed to Wuchang County, Chen State, which was separated by the river in Bazhou to plan revenge.

Bazhou was originally a territory of Chen State, led by Yuwen Liang, the general manager of Anzhou of Zhou State, two years ago. The local wealthy and powerful households of Bazhou had already defected to Zhou State at that time, so Chen Shuling thought he would have to wait for a long time to find someone who was willing to cooperate with him. God blessed Yuwen Wen to make a desperate attempt to force others to survive.

Yuwen Wen's new official took office and caused complaints from the powerful and wealthy families. He just found someone from Wuchang County to cross the river and found some old relationships and easily found someone who was willing to cooperate. Originally, he could only make a small fuss, but the other party was not restrained and was anxious to attack Tian, ​​one of the powerful people in Xiyang City, which was a god-given opportunity.

The soldiers in Bazhou were weak and relied on the Tian period last year. The Lu family's soldiers supported the support of the army to block the Chen army from the north. Now these two families will no longer help defend the city, and there are people in the city to help them. Therefore, Yuwen Wen thought that it was a delusion to be able to defend the army with the help of his own.

"King, this is what I have just left before leaving the shore." The follower reminded carefully. After hearing what the other party said, Chen Shuling immediately turned his gaze to a wooden box on the desk. He took out a key from his arms to open the wooden box and took out a letter.

This was delivered before his boat left shore. He could probably guess what was written in it, so he didn't take it seriously, but ordered the boat to set off and urge the navy to go north. Now he is still a while away from landing, so he has time to see the contents.

Then Chen Shuling read the letter under the candlelight and then burned it to ashes. The contents of the letter were indeed sent by Jiankang's allies. His father's condition had worsened and died. It was only these days that the other party asked him to rush back and fight back immediately.

The prince and the prince were both serving the sickbed, which was also the best time for him to approach the prince. As long as his father died of illness or was seriously ill and could not speak, he tried hard to kill the prince with a moment of death and accusing the generals of high-ranking officials and generous salaries, he would not have hope of ascending to the throne.

If it were July before, he would definitely choose to fight hard because his father died and the prince ascended the throne, then no one would protect him. At that time, his fate would probably be to be deprived of real power and be a cage bird in a yard in Jiankang. But now he no longer cares about this issue.

This revenge is irreconcilable. If Yuwen Wen cannot be tortured and killed by himself, he will not be happy even if he becomes an emperor. He has been thinking about it for months and seeing his wish, nothing can stop him from revenge.

One person entered the cabin and reported to him that the forward had already landed. Chen Shuling came to the spirit and asked someone to help him put on his armor. After he put on his whole body, he pressed his knife and walked out of the cabin. He saw that his ship was close to the north shore.

A string of lanterns hung on the south gate of Xiyang City not far from the shore, except for this, there was no light. According to the signal agreed in advance, this means that the progress was smooth and you could land. Chen Shuling ordered the elite troops who had already landed to control the city gate and the river bank to confirm that there was no ambush near the river bank. The large army immediately landed.

Although some people are an insider, he doesn't want to trust him completely. Since the other party can betray Yuwen Wen, it is possible to betray him as long as the price is right. After waiting for several months, he finally wants to kill his enemy, so Chen Shuling will never let go of any details that may lead to failure.

The river was turbulent, and Chen Jun naval warships were rowing on the river with the sailors trying hard to keep their position still on the shore. Today is New Year's Eve. It is said that at this time everyone should reunite with their relatives at home instead of preparing to fight. However, Shangguan had ordered that no one dare to disobey and had issued a heavy reward and no one dared to say more.

The sailors who only work hard to row have a regular fee, the ordinary soldiers who go ashore fight have two stalemates, and the elite soldiers have four stalemates. The "driving fee" is unexpectedly much and unlike in the past, all of them are paid in full to everyone before departure.

The reward is also very high: if you capture Yuwen Wen, the governor of Bazhou in Zhou Kingdom, alive, you will be 1,000 guan, and if you kill or shoot, you will be 600 guan. In addition, as long as you can capture Yuwen Wen's family, including his oldest child who is only half a year old, you will also receive rewards.

After waiting for a while, the elite Chen Jun who first landed on the shore sent a signal to indicate that everything was normal. Chen Shuling immediately ordered the army to dock. After a while, he finally stepped on the land in Jiangbei and surrounded him to the city gate.

"King! Finally, the general Tian Yuansheng met with the king!" Tian Yuansheng came to him alone and bowed and bowed with fists. "For two years, the military and civilians of Bazhou have finally waited until the king's army landed!"

Chen Shuling nodded and signaled him to flatten him and then asked where the others were. Tian Yuansheng smiled and said with a smile on his face that the rest of the people were leading their respective teams to set fire to the water in the city, as if to confirm what he said. Chen Shuling saw through the door hole that there were fires lit up in several places in the city.

"King, Yuwen Wen, this little girl has hundreds of guards in her mansion. He thought that this would keep her family safe. He never thought that the king would bring thousands of royal divisions to sue him!"

"Where is Tian?"

"They have attacked the Xicheng Gate to attract the attention of the defenders and sent people to ambush outside the North Gate to prevent Yuwen Wen from fleeing."

"Where is Yuwen Wen's garrison outside the east of the city?"

"The Lu family has sent troops to surround the military camp."

"Very good, you are leading the way." Chen Shuling grinned, and the flames lit up in the city reflected his white teeth red. "The whole army attacked Yuwen Wen's mansion, and after half an hour, I was about to see Yuwen Wen kneeling in front of me!"
