The Poor Son-in-Law of the Tang Dynasty

At this time, Ye Chen also sat down with a thud, with a frightened expression on his face, but secretly nudged Liu Heizi with his elbow: "Don't act too much, it's almost enough!"

Hearing Ye Chen's words, Liu Heizi pushed the captain away, wiped away his tears, and said, "Why are you standing there in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and dispose of the corpse?"

"Yes Yes!"

A group of soldiers lost their backbone at this time, and when Liu Heizi shouted, they all worked hard.

Seeing the soldiers started to work, Ye Chen stopped pretending, and immediately recovered, looked at Liu Heizi, covered his mouth and started laughing.

It can be regarded as a solution to Chai Shao's confidant's serious problem, so happy!

Afterwards, Ye Chen and Liu Heizi both got up, left here, and went to a place where there was no one, and then they couldn't help but chat with each other with a smile.

"Captain, you acted so much just now, if I didn't know it, I would have thought it was real! You almost fooled me!"

Liu Heizi exclaimed.

"This is called powerful acting!"

Ye Chen laughed, and then patted Liu Heizi on the shoulder and said, "Learn a little in the future, it will be of great use sooner or later!"

"Yes, yes, the captain's demonstration today has benefited the humble staff a lot, and the harvest has been quite fruitful!"

Liu Heizi also laughed heartily.

But Liu Heizi stopped laughing immediately, and his expression became serious: "But Captain, although Chai Shao is dead, there are still a few generals in the regiment guards. How are they going to pass this test?"

"Don't worry, I've thought about everything. As long as Chai Shao dies, those people will have nothing to fear. Go, open the city gate, and welcome the army into the city."

……

After half an hour, the city was completely quiet.

The door opened with a bang, and the officers and soldiers of the Tang army waiting at the door looked inside with great vigilance.

"Everyone, the fighting in the city has subsided, so don't be so nervous!"

Ye Chen stood at the door and shouted loudly.

Hearing his words, everyone felt a little inexplicable.

"Ye Chen, where's the general?"

The army automatically parted ways, and Liu Hongji, Chai Shao's deputy, came riding on horseback and asked solemnly.

"This one……"

Ye Chen sighed, pretending to be very sad, and said: "General Liu, General, just now, General Liu rose up to resist in the face of a captive riot. He fought with the army and died for his country...he was a hero, a hero!"

As he said that, Ye Chen looked up to the sky and screamed: "God, why are you so unfair? General Chai is such a hero, why did you take him away? If possible, I am willing to exchange my life for General Chai. Fate..."

With his head held high, Ye Chen stared at the sun in the sky without blinking. After a while, the dry feeling made Ye Chen's eyes wet unconsciously.

A few tears were squeezed out by Ye Chen.

Seeing Ye Chen so sad, Liu Hongji was deceived by him.

"What did you say? The general died for his country?"

Liu Hongji also let out a mournful cry.

Of course, he also pretended.

Strictly speaking, Liu Hongji is also a powerful person, and his status is not even inferior to that of Chai Shao.

But he became Chai Shao's lieutenant general, isn't it because Chai Shao is the brother-in-law of the Holy Majesty?

With the same status, why should I be the lieutenant when you are the commander in chief?
So Liu Hongji was always very upset.

Now that Chai Shao is dead, he seems to have become the supreme commander of this army, of course he is happy in his heart.

But, the surface work still needs to be done.

So Liu Hongji got off his horse and said with a serious expression: "All the soldiers obey the order and pay a silent tribute to General Chai!"

Following Liu Hongji's order, all the soldiers stood up straight with serious expressions, and began to mourn for Chai Shao.

The military flag fluttered with the wind, and there was a sad atmosphere in the whole army. For a while, there was a somewhat tragic feeling.

After a while, Liu Hongji raised his head: "The silence is over, the army has entered the city with [-] troops, ready to take over Diezhou!"

Hurala!
At this time, the Tang Army officers and soldiers were divided into two groups, one group was divided into 3 people, and entered Diezhou to take over Diezhou City, and the other group of 7 people was stationed outside the city, ready to be stationed at any time.

Ye Chen didn't refuse anymore, and let people get out of the way, and the enlarged army entered the city.

After entering Diezhou City, Liu Hongji began to be busy in various ways.

Now, as the supreme commander of the army, he is naturally responsible for many miscellaneous tasks, such as the temporary administration in Diezhou City, and handing over the battle situation with Ye Chen, preparing to write a battle report and send it back to Chang'an.

These things are enough for him to be busy for several days.

Ye Chen was also happy, and after reporting the half-truth and half-false battle situation to Liu Hongji, he didn't worry about other things anymore.

Liu Hongji is not a fool. After he and Ye Chen handed over the battle situation reported by Ye Chen, he started various unannounced investigations in the city.

After all, there are some things that the people in the city must have seen clearly. Ye Chen cannot fake these things. He can't even lie to the people in the city.

But the results of the investigation surprised Liu Hongji.

There is no difference between what Ye Chen said!

And the people in the city have a high evaluation of Ye Chen, which is unprecedented.

At this moment, Liu Hongji's mind became active.

Ye Chen made such a great achievement, it is impossible for him to hide some points and take away Ye Chen's credit.

After all, with so many people staring at him, it is impossible for him to kill them all, right?
As for the beginning, he thought about whether he could find a few reasons to embarrass Ye Chen, but it turned out that he couldn't find any reason.

The only crime of recruiting private soldiers, Ye Chen can also justify it at will.

The people in the city spontaneously joined the army to resist the enemy. This is the best explanation.

There was really no other way, so he had no choice but to prepare to win over Ye Chen, establish a good relationship with him, and let him share some credit with him appropriately.

After all, Ye Chen's contribution is so great, if he gets a little share, after returning, he can be promoted.

So after finishing the official business that day, Liu Hongji set up a banquet in the Governor's Mansion to entertain Ye Chen.

Ye Chen didn't refuse either, he had already guessed Liu Hongji's careful thoughts, so he went directly to the banquet.

When he came to the governor's mansion, the table was already full of dishes and fine wines. Liu Hongji greeted him with a smile on his face, very kind.

Seeing Liu Hongji's expression, Ye Chen became more sure of Liu Hongji's thoughts.

"Ye Chen, sit down!"

Liu Hongji warmly greeted Ye Chen to sit down.

"You're welcome in that humble position."

Ye Chen cupped his hands, then sat down solemnly.

"look at you."

Liu Hongji showed a bit of blame, and said seriously: "Let's not be so polite in private, I am the same generation as your father-in-law, if you don't mind, why not call me Uncle?"

Hearing Liu Hongji's words, Ye Chen felt amused in his heart.
