Live as the emperor

Chapter 80
While having breakfast, Hong Jiang came to look for Chen Guang.

"His Royal Highness, how do you say this pass?"

Chen Guangzheng stuffed a piece of pancake into his mouth, and said nonchalantly, "Just beat it like that, how else can you beat it?"

Hong Jiang had no choice but to go down and make arrangements.Chen Guang couldn't help shrugging his shoulders. If he wanted to keep things simple, he might get unexpected results.

It has to be admitted that Hong Jiang's military talent is worthy of recognition. He first sent scouts out to control the surrounding mountains and forests, and then sent people to attack the city gate.

However, when he led the team to the pass, he was dumbfounded. He saw that the city gate was open and there was no one there.

"What...what's going on?" Even though he had been marching and fighting for so many years, he still couldn't figure out which part of the song was being sung.

Seeing Hong Jiang's suspicious gaze looking at him, Chen Guang shrugged his shoulders, curled his lips and said, "What are you looking at me for? Just go in if the door is open."

Hong Jiang asked: "Will they have an ambush?"

He remembered, was there an allusion called the Empty City Strategy?Could this be an empty city strategy?

Chen Guang said helplessly: "Of course not. Think about it. They don't know we're here. Why am I ambush? Let's go."

"The old minister still feels..."

Chen Guang said loudly: "Let's go."

Well, Hong Jiang shut up and led the army forward.

Marching all the way through the canyon, they encountered no resistance. Hong Jiang looked very surprised and said: "Why is the defense here so lax?"

What defense, have you never encountered defense at all?Chen Guang couldn't help but slander.But he said: "This is the border between Ge State and Chen State. The two countries have always been on good terms. If you think about it, this pass is just a decoration. How can there be any defense?"

When Hong Jiang thought about it, it seemed to be the same reason. A good neighbor needs no defense.He laughed and said, "Then we got a big deal."

Chen Guang showed a sad expression and said, "It's just a pity that I got the gold medal."

He was talking about the gold medal that was ground to dust.Hong Jiang said with a smile: "If the emperor knows that His Highness King Jin is so resourceful, he will definitely appreciate His Highness King Jin."

We walked all the way, and after another half a day, we passed through this stretch of mountains. From a distance, we saw scattered villages, either built by the mountains, or lived by the water. Now the rice and wheat have grown a lot , lush and lush, looking around, it is a landscape painting of ink and wash countryside.

Chen Guang suddenly felt a little unbearable, these are common people.If a large army overwhelmed the border, they would be the ones who would suffer.

He said to Hong Jiang: "Go down and tell me not to destroy crops or disturb the people during the march."

Hong Jiang was a little surprised, not giving way to this or that, can this battle still be fought?He said: "His Royal Highness, this..."

Chen Guang said: "Attacking the heart is the top priority, and attacking the city is the bottom. If we can make them surrender, wouldn't it be better not to fight? War is just a plaything for those in power. For the people, no matter who wins in the end, They are all victims."

After hearing Chen Guang's remarks, Hong Jiang was immediately convinced, cupped his hands, and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin has a kind heart, and I admire him."

The sudden appearance of so many people naturally attracted people's attention, but this is the outskirts, even if there are people, they are still ordinary people, and it is impossible to have soldiers to guard them. Chen Guang led people around the village and went to the city.

This city is not big. It can be imagined that it is surrounded by mountains, even if it is mostly large, it is not much bigger.

Chen Guang's [-] troops were pressing down on the territory. Before he could figure out how to attack, the city lord had already led his subordinates and came to Chen Guang's commander's tent holding a big seal.

You don’t need one soldier per soldier to capture a city.

In the city lord's mansion, Chen Guang played with the city lord's golden seal and sat on the special seat for the city lord. Below him stood all the officials of the city.

"A person who knows the current affairs is a hero. Very good. I am very pleased that you can see your situation clearly. If this is the case, then I will not embarrass you. I will not kill any of you, and I will not destroy any of your crops."

The person in front of him was naturally the previous city lord. This city lord's face was so dark that he was almost dripping with water. After hearing Chen Guang's words, he still managed to squeeze out a smile and said, "My lord, you have a kind heart."

Hong Jiang next to him said, "This is our Royal Highness King Jin."

Chen Guang smiled slightly and said: "Okay, I don't want to say anything else, as long as you do well, it's okay for you, the city lord, to be your city lord, but you will be the city lord of our Gan country."

"Everything is up to His Royal Highness King Jin." The city lord replied helplessly.It wasn't that he was spineless and surrendered without a fight. It was because the situation was stronger than others. He had a 2000 army pressing down on the border, and his city had less than [-] defenders. Simply surrender, but also save a life, but also save the people here.

Taking down a city without any effort is definitely a morale booster for the soldiers of the Qian Kingdom.Chen Guang left about 2000 people stationed in the city, and then moved on with the rest of the troops.

This time the troops were dispatched, what was needed was to completely incorporate the Chen Kingdom into the territory of the Qian Kingdom, not that the gain or loss of the city in front of him could stop the soldiers from advancing.

Afterwards, the [-]-strong army set out again. In just ten days, they had captured eight cities in the Chen Kingdom. Although they encountered some resistance when attacking some cities, they were almost all vulnerable to the [-]-strong army. .

Here, Chen Guang and his men were attacking the city and plundering territory, while on the other side, the Chen State Palace finally got the news. When they went to court that day, the emperor and his ministers were panicked.

"What? You mean that the Qian Kingdom has captured more than ten cities in my Chen Kingdom? How is that possible?" Chen Bao, who was sitting on the dragon chair, had a very bad expression on his face.

It's normal for him to have a bad complexion. Qian Guo actually sent troops to Chen Guo, and the attack was fierce. He captured more than a dozen cities at once. This is not only the gain or loss of the city, but also the shame of the country!

Second, as an emperor, his country lost more than ten cities, and he didn't even get any news. How could he look so good?Maybe at some point, the enemy will already be standing in front of him!
"Your Majesty, there is still a country of Ge between Chen and Qian. If several countries send troops, it is impossible not to pass through Ge, and Ge will definitely notify us. Now we have not received any news. Where did the people of the country come from?"

"Ge Guo has been bribed a long time ago! This group of shameless people actually betrayed the friendship between our two countries and opened the door for our enemies. But they didn't even think about it. Without our Chen Guo, Ge Guo would be able to survive alone. ?"

"It's just that I'm confused, I'm confused." Some ministers lamented.

Chen Bao had just become the emperor not long ago, and when he encountered such a problem, he was naturally furious, and he shouted: "You all know what to say, now people have already called home, you still have time to go Concerned about Ge Guo?"

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Qian Kingdom brought an army of [-]. This is determined to destroy our Chen Kingdom."

"What? An army of one hundred thousand? Alas..."

All over the court and the public, when they heard the word "[-] troops", the expressions on the faces of these ministers were as if their parents had died.

Only Chen Bao stood up and shouted loudly: "Does he think he is the only one who has people in the country? One hundred thousand troops, hmph, will my Chen country still lack one hundred thousand troops? Pass on my oral order and mobilize all counties The county’s troops will fight to the end with the thieves! For the sake of the country and the people!”

He has just become emperor, and the dragon chair has not yet been warmed up. Of course, he does not want to be a subjugated king. Even if soldiers from all over the country are mobilized together, he still wants to fight with these people.The most frightening thing about people is that they don't have dreams, and what's even more frightening is that they don't want to realize their dreams.Chen Bao's dream is to keep his throne, and now he has to work hard for this dream.

"Your Majesty, why don't we talk to Qian Guo first? They are so aggressive and we don't know what they think. It's better to communicate first." A minister said.

Chen Bao cursed: "What's the point of communicating? Isn't this obvious? How do you still communicate? Are you asking for peace?"

"Actually, it's okay to temporarily avoid the edge."

"roll……"

Chen Guang didn't realize that his actions had caused such a controversy in the court of Chen Guo. Now he is riding a tall horse with more than a dozen gold seals hanging from his waist, and he is ostentatiously passing through the market.

Today was the day to win the No. 20 city. According to the fine tradition of Chinese people who like to celebrate every tenth day, he felt that today was necessary to be recorded in history.

Now he is parading through the streets.

Not to show off, but to show off.

This is a city called Huizhong. As the name suggests, the geographical location of this city is roughly in the center of Chen Kingdom.Because of this special geographical environment, this city is relatively large and prosperous.

However, this city lord is a guy who is afraid of death, and he didn't even organize a little resistance. As soon as Chen Guang led the army to the city, he opened the door and surrendered.

The country of Chen Guo is not that big, nor is it small, at least it is much bigger than Ge Guo and his ilk next to it.Before, Chen Guang wondered how Chen Guo had a good relationship with Ge Guo. It is king to annex them directly.Thinking about it later, Ge Country is located in the autumn forest area, and half of the country's land area is covered with mountains. If you send troops to Ge Country, it will be easy to defend and difficult to attack. What's the matter with love?

As it was getting late, Chen Guang also had fun in the city, so he went back to the City Lord's Mansion. Now it has been occupied by the soldiers of the Qian Kingdom, and the previous City Lord and his family's servants were all driven away by him.

After dinner, Meimei took a nap, woke up the next morning, but got the news that a large group of people was rushing to Huizhong City.
