Chapter 269: The plan is to attack the heart in a series (second update)

The lights in the cabin suddenly rang, making Su Dingfang's eyes unable to adapt for a while. However, when he saw clearly in the cabin, he dispelled his resistance. At least thirty strong bows were aimed at him with armor-breaking cones. No matter how good he was, he could only accept his fate.

Su Dingfang had a faint unwillingness and a strong helplessness on his face, and slowly threw down the Breaking Sword in his hand.

Su Dingfang was calm. As an assassin, being discovered means death. He sat down calmly and said lightly: "Su Dingfang fell."

Originally, Chen Ying thought that the Dead Soldier was just a small character, but he would never have thought that he would have sent such a big bull like Su Dingfang. Of course, at this time, Su Dingfang was only a lieutenant of the personal guards under Liu Heita, with only a sixth rank and only more than 300 under his command, equivalent to a battalion-level officer.

Some people call Su Dingfang a late-achieving representative of the late-stage success in that year, but this is not appropriate. First of all, Su Dingfang served for Li Tang too late. In the fourth year of Zhenguan, he followed Li Jing to the Northern Expedition of the Eastern Turks. In the decisive night attack on Yinshan, Su Dingfang led 200 cavalrymen to the trap first, captured Jie Li Khan's tent, and made great contributions to defeating the Eastern Turks.

Su Dingfang also made a statement in later generations. There were two main aspects. There were many famous generals in the early Tang Dynasty. Su Dingfang had too little experience. The key was that there was no one behind him. In terms of great victory in the four attacks of Yinshan in Zhenguan, he only won the title of the lieutenant of the Left Wuhou Zhonglang. This level was actually the level of the Zhechong Mansion of the Central Government, which was under the jurisdiction of four regiments, each with two hundred people, and a total of eight hundred soldiers.

The second was that Su Dingfang conquered the Western Turks, placing the Pamirs, barbing Baekje, and attacking Goguryeo. "The three kingdoms were destroyed before and after, and they all captured their masters alive." He expanded the territory of the Tang Dynasty westward to the Aral Sea in Central Asia, and the border went straight to Persia, and extended eastward to the southern part of the Korean Peninsula. Of course, Su Dingfang, who defeated foreign enemies and broke up the territory, could not be publicly promoted because it was not needed politically. Therefore, Su Dingfang was always hidden.

When Chen Ying met Su Dingfang, Su Dingfang was very calm and looked like he was willing to die generously. In ancient times, the Tang Dynasty followed the Han system and advocated Confucianism. The concept of "Spring and Autumn" emphasized righteousness was regarded as a criterion by most people. The most obvious example is that the Spring and Autumn Annals couldn't help but take revenge. Revenge for family members and teachers and friends are all righteous acts that are praised, and will not only be supported by public opinion, but also by the official. The righteous will not only be appreciated by fellow practitioners, but also by the enemy. On the contrary, if you do something unjust, you will be despised.

The righteous one is right, just ask whether it should be done or not, whether it should be a enemy or a consequence, whether it is a consequence or a profit or a disadvantage. It sounds very different, but the Han people at this time were really a bit different, and it was not a single person or two, but the mainstream of the whole society was a bit different, whether it is an elite or an ordinary person. Why did the generals of Wagang, such as Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie, Xie Yingdeng, Niu Junda all ended well, and Wei Zheng, Li Shiji and others were extremely prominent, but Shan Xiongxin died tragically.

To put it bluntly, it is because Shan Xiongxin was too righteous. The righteousness in his heart was not irrespective of the country and country, but only Wang Shichong was recognized by Wang Shichong, because Wang Shichong had sublimated Shan Xiongxin's life. The general who was the third-rank champion of the rank of the general, Princess Shang became the son-in-law. Shan Xiongxin believed that only one death could he repay such kindness.

At this time, Su Dingfang thought that the same was true. No matter whether the Li Tang and Chen Ying army were just or not, he came to assassinate Chen Ying under the order of Liu Heita. Now that the mission has failed, he can only die.

Chen Ying said: "I know Su Lie is righteous and unfair to Yuntian, but I am afraid that the people you are loyal to are not worth it!"

"Isn't it worth it?" Su Dingfang glared at Chen Ying angrily and roared: "Don't slander my general!"

Chen Ying smiled faintly and said, "If you don't go to your general, including the court you are loyal to, this general is worthless for you!"

Chen Ying naturally knew how to convince the loyal and righteous people. As long as their beliefs collapsed, they would change their original intentions. After Liu Heita was defeated and killed, Su Dingfang was unwilling to be loyal to the court. However, when he saw the Turkic cavalry sometimes looting Hebei and slaughtering countless people, it aroused Su Dingfang's anger.

Su Dingfang turned his head and refused to look at Chen Ying, and expressed his dissatisfaction with Chen Ying in this way.

Chen Ying did not care about Su Dingfang's attitude and smiled faintly: "If you don't believe it, let's make a bet?"

"Betting? What bet?" Su Dingfang asked.

Chen Ying said: "General Su, do you believe it or not? I will give an ultimatum to the Xia court, and they will immediately send your family to the general's tent?"

Su Dingfang naturally didn't believe it, because in his heart, Liu Heita was a person who valued friendship and loyalty.

The new and old Books of Tang all record that Liu Heita is "a scoundrel, who is addicted to alcohol, plays games, does not invest in industries, and his father and brothers are worried about it." In real life, it seems that he is a very bad character. When he was young, he had a good relationship with Dou Jiande. Perhaps Dou Jiande had seen his potential, so he knew that he was a scoundrel and kept funding his expenses. Every time Liu Heita got money from Dou Jiande, he quickly squandered it. Dou Jiande just laughed it off and never cared about it. However, this is indeed the Spring and Autumn style. How could a rogue be able to respond to it? The entire thirty-nine states in Hebei have many followers?

The next morning, Chen Ying gave up a letter of ejaculation to Mingzhou.

In the book of shooting, Chen Ying bluntly told the Xia court that although Su Dingfang conspired to assassinate him, he was extremely unhappy.

In order to calm his anger, as long as all the families of the 300 dead soldiers under Su Dingfang were sent to Tang Camp and allowed to deal with him, he could delay the attack on Mingzhou City for three days. Otherwise, the army would arrive at three o'clock today, and the attack on the city immediately would be absolutely delayed.

...

The Wanchun Palace of the Xia Kingdom of Mingzhou was handed over to Mingzhou City just a quarter of an hour after the book was sent to Mingzhou City, and handed it to Nayan Song Zhengben. However, when Liu Heita saw this letter, he was so angry that he trembled all over.

"This is a provocation, this is a provocation!" Liu Heita instantly understood that Chen Ying was not going to deal with everyone's family. He clearly used the families of these soldiers as a threat to force Su Dingfang to surrender.

Su Dingfang was one of the best in Liu Heita's army in terms of martial arts. However, in Liu Heita's eyes, Su Dingfang was just a brave general and did not have a high status. However, he also knew that this hole could not be opened, otherwise the morale of the Xia army would be dispersed.

Song Zhengben considered more problems than Liu Heita. He said decisively: "Han Donggong, why don't you know? But with the military strength of Mingzhou, how long can you resist Chen Ying's army?"

"this……"

Liu Heita really dared not say that after all, the name of a person, the shadow of a tree, and who Chen Ying is. Now no one in the world knows. Even people with a little knowledge can recognize Chen Ying's past achievements as much as possible. It can be said that Chen Ying is one of the best generals in the Tang Dynasty, and the limelight has surpassed Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng.

Especially when he broke Yanmen Pass one day and Hangu Pass one hour, such a record really makes people unable to raise the will to resist the city and guard it. Liu Heita thought for a while and said, "Liu is deeply trusted by Your Majesty. In order to repay Your Majesty's great kindness, Liu must fight to the last soldier!"

"The Lord Dong of Han is loyal and good, and he is the country's sincerity!" Song Zhengben pondered: "I, as the Minister of the Central Secretariat, ordered the army of kings in the world to return to Mingzhou on behalf of the heavens. Cui Yuanxun, the general manager of Shenzhou (now Shenzhou City, Hebei Province), Gao Yaxian, the general manager of Baozhou (now Baoding), and Zhao Xidao, the general manager of Zhaozhou, can arrive in Mingzhou within three days at the latest, and the troops of the Handong Gong will also arrive in Mingzhou within three days. Why not take this opportunity and delay for three days?"

Liu Heita is a man who knows the military. No matter what the reason or reason is, he will give Su Dingfang and the families of his soldiers to the enemy. This is a very devastating thing to do. Today, the court can betray Su Dingfang, and tomorrow they can betray them. Once the news spreads.

Chen Ying doesn’t need to be beaten, Mingzhou’s morale will inevitably collapse.

The blue veins on Liu Heita's forehead were thrust, and he roared at Song Zhengben with red eyes: "Three days are not three years. Even if I take Liu's life, I will hold on for three days."

Dong Kangmai was also moved. He said to Liu Heita: "Old Liu, if you can't bear it, you will be in trouble. We are not as strong as tens of thousands of soldiers at this time, how can we fight? If you want to hold on for three days, Chen Ying is afraid that he won't even give us one day!"

Liu Heita still did not agree. At this time, Wang Xiaohu said: "Su Dingfang's family is not in Mingzhou City, otherwise would he use my wife to make up the numbers?"

Liu Heita couldn't stand this.

If it was his son or wife, Liu Heita could really make up his mind, but the key is that this is the family of a general. If Liu Heita uses his family to save the lives of the whole city, the people of the whole city will only thank him for giving up the small righteousness and taking the overall situation into consideration, but now the nature is completely different.

Li Panmai, the general of the cavalry under Liu Heita, said: "Duke Dong of Han, General, you should be pitiful to the soldiers and civilians of Mingzhou. Who are they not raised by their father's biological parents? Do you really have the heart to watch the people of the whole city die tragically because of this?"

Song Zhengben said: "No, you can't act loyally at this time!"

As he said that, he said to Empress Cao who was in charge of the affairs behind the curtain: "There is no public opinion now, please let Empress Cao take charge!"

Cao's heart is a woman. She looked at Song Zhengben and said, "What do Song Qing think?"

"Depend time!" Song Zhengben, as the head of the minister who stayed in the head, said without hesitation: "If you can use the head of the original book to exchange for Mingzhou and Daxia for three days, the original book should give in!"

After all this, Liu Heita had no reason to refuse.

That night, one-third of the families of the dead soldiers under Su Dingfang were sent to Chen Ying's camp.

Su Dingfang should have vomited blood and fell into a coma.

In fact, once a person's faith collapses, the blow to people will be fatal.

This is a hurdle, and Chen Ying did not force Su Dingfang to make a decision now.

However, did Song Zhengben think that Chen Ying was just this method? The answer is no.

In fact, no matter what decision Song Zhengben makes, it will not affect the implementation of Chen Ying's plan, because this plan is a chain of plans, one after another, and they will never know that no matter what decision they make, Chen Ying will maximize his interests.

Just as the families of these soldiers were sent to the Tang army camp, a rumor began to spread slowly in Mingzhou City.
