I am a ruler in troubled times
Chapter 140
Three days passed in a blink of an eye.
In order to show his sincerity, Xue Lin deliberately withdrew half of the garrison in Bai County.
For Chongyi, Song Peiyu, and the [-] cavalry they brought from Xianyang, half of Bai County was vacated.
Chong Yi and Song Peiyu led [-] cavalry into Bai County, but Xue Lin failed to fulfill his wish. They directly took the [-] cavalry to the county government where the dust-cleaning feast was held.
In addition, Murong Jing, who has been in Yuzhou for a long time, is leading an army of [-], quietly ambushing near Bai County.
Chong Yi and Song Peiyu entered the county government office with the accompanying civil servants and the elite of the two hundred cavalry.
Relying on their numbers, the remaining cavalry occupied four-fifths of the area outside the county government office, crowding the [-] Chen troops brought by Xue Lin into a corner in the northwest.
Song Peiyu had seen many of Xue Lin's albums, and also seen the corpse of 'Xue Lin', but this was the first time she saw Xue Lin in person.
Among all the information collected by Song Peiyu, Xue Lin can be regarded as a handsome man.
But after seeing the real person...
Song Peiyu has to say that power is the best filter for a man.
Not to mention Xue Lin's face full of burns, the cold aura on Xue Lin's body alone has nothing to do with a beautiful man. Song Peiyu even felt that the feeling Xue Lin gave him was not as good as the 'Xue Lin' who was already a corpse when he saw it .
Perhaps because he already knew the news that the manor was surrounded by [-] Zhao cavalry, Xue Lin sat on the side seat and looked at the door with particularly deep eyes.
Snake-like eyes swept across Song Peiyu's body, and stayed on Chongyi's face for a long time, Xue Lin's eyes flashed with almost invisible amazement.
Chong Yi immediately raised his eyelids to look over, his black and white eyes were deep and deep as if they could swallow everything.
The astonishment in Xue Lin's eyes that had not completely dissipated immediately turned into panic, and he subconsciously looked away, actively avoiding the eye contact with Chong Yi.
After realizing what he had done, Xue Lin became furious, and blue veins appeared on his forehead visible to the naked eye.
He turned his head, stared at Chong Yi viciously, and directly challenged, "I kindly clean up the dust for Prince Zhao, but Prince Zhao brought an army of [-] to come. Is this Zhao Guo's sincerity for the peace negotiation?"
Chong Yi spoke, but the words had nothing to do with Xue Lin's question, "Are you Xue Lin?"
As soon as these words came out, Chen Guojun and his ministers were all stunned, and then they looked weird, and they all remembered the farce of the real and fake Xue Lin.
Chong Yi didn't care about Chen Guoren's thoughts at all.
He held Song Peiyu's hand and walked straight to the first seat, only separated from Xue Lin by a narrow table seat, pressed Song Peiyu's shoulder, let Song Peiyu sit on the empty seat specially prepared for him by Chen Guo, and stood there very naturally side.
Zhao Chen has long been used to the prince's love for Yuan Jun, and he was not surprised to see that Chong Yi would rather stand by himself than let Song Peiyu sit.
On the contrary, they felt that Chen Guo had no eyesight. He knew that it was the prince and Yuan Jun who came to Bai County for an appointment, so they only prepared a chair for the main seat.
The ministers of Chen Guo first heard the news that [-] cavalry from Zhao Guo had surrounded the county government, and Chong Yi lightly pointed out that Xue Lin had sent a double to Zhao Guo secretly, and even caused a scandal of "true and false princes" in Chen Guo. I am suffocated to the extreme.
After they saw the actions of Chong Yi and Song Peiyu, they immediately seemed to have grasped a clue, and laughed at the fact that there is no distinction between high and low in Zhao Guo, and there is a reason why the crown prince sits and the crown prince stands.
Xue Lin fell into silence with a gloomy face. He didn't completely lose his mind because Chong Yi reminded him of the "true and fake Xue Lin". The ministers of the state and the ministers of the state of Zhao.
Standing in the center of Zhao Chen, Lu Jihe was too lazy to talk nonsense with Chen Guoren, so he gave Pingzhang a wink and signaled Pingzhang to move Chongyi a chair.
There was a contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth, and he observed the officials of Chen Guo brought by Xue Lin openly.
These ministers of Chen Guo kept making troubles for Zhao Guo, but not all of them were to protect Xue Lin.
Most of Chen Guo's ministers just wanted to test Zhao Guo's [-] cavalry to surround the county government by means of disputes, and whether he really wanted to fight Chen Guo directly.
Only a very small number of Chen Guochen's officials would look back at Xue Lin's face from time to time when arguing with Zhao Chen, because they wanted to defend Xue Lin from the bottom of their hearts.
The dispute between Zhao Chen and Chen Guochen lasted for a long time, and Xue Lincai managed to make things right when both sides became more and more emotional.
Song Peiyu patted Chong Yi's thigh discreetly under the cover of his wide sleeves to appease Chong Yi's impatience, but Chong Yi grabbed his hand and played with it.
He tried to pull his hand out, but failed, so he could only focus on two things. While perfunctory Xue Lin's useless nonsense, he was distracted to remind Chong Yi not to be too blatant.
Xue Lin didn't notice Song Peiyu's perfunctory at all. Ever since he started talking with Song Peiyu, Xue Lin's mood has become better and better.
When Chen Zhaohe talked about such an important matter, Prince Zhao didn't say a word, and Zhao Chen also got used to it.
Prince Zhao had only been married for less than a year, but he was pinned down by a male concubine from the Song family. He turned out to be a reckless man who could only lead soldiers to fight.
Xue Lin is already considering whether to change the plan and send Song Peiyu back to Xianyang.
The crown prince died in Bai County, but the male concubine who had no contact with Zhao's royal family after the loss of the crown prince was alive and well.
This male concubine also came from the largest family in Zhao State. She is in her prime and is proficient in political affairs. Even if the five small county kings of Su Wang's mansion are pinched together, they can't compare with this male concubine.
Xue Lin smiled even more.
By that time, something very interesting will definitely happen in Xianyang.
Song Peiyu immediately noticed that Xue Lin was getting more and more happy, but she didn't know why Xue Lin was so happy all of a sudden, she habitually stretched out her finger and pointed at the table close at hand.
"You don't have to be so guarded against me." Xue Lin said sincerely, "I came to discuss peace with Zhao Guo with the greatest sincerity. In order to let the people of Kyushu have time to breathe, Chen Guo can make appropriate concessions in Yuzhou. I hope There can be at least ten years of peace between Chen Guo and Zhao Guo."
Song Peiyu was about to speak when she suddenly felt itchy in Chong Yi's palm. It was Chong Yi who was scratching his palm twice.
Even without looking back, Song Peiyu could still imagine Chongyi's expression and what he wanted to say at the moment.
Must be deadpan said, "lie"
Chong Yi's appearance appeared in his mind, and the seriousness on Song Peiyu's face softened immediately.
Xue Lin squinted at Song Peiyu's soft smile. He knew that this smile was not offensive, but felt that it was extremely glaring.
"You don't believe my sincerity?" Xue Lin pointed out the wall, "I deliberately withdrew half of the Chen army in Bai County so that the Zhao army could enter Bai County. Knowing that the crown prince brought [-] of Zhao's elite cavalry outside the county office, The [-] Chen army regiments that surrounded me brought me did not leave immediately. Could it be that these things can't let Zhao Guo see my sincerity?"
So far, Xue Lin has indeed shown great sincerity.
This sincerity, whether it is the sincerity of the peace talks, or the sincerity that was disguised because of great conspiracy... Not only Song Peiyu, but most of Zhao's courtiers are more inclined to the latter.
Song Peiyu didn't bother to care about the dying person, so she immediately asked someone to pour wine and punished herself with three glasses to apologize to Xue Lin.
Xue Lin was dissatisfied when she found that Song Peiyu was absent-minded.
Now that Song Peiyu wanted to toast him to make amends, Xue Lin felt suspicious again.
It wasn't until Song Peiyu drank three cups with his own eyes that Xue Lin showed a satisfied expression.
After toasting the farewell wine, Song Peiyu flattered Xue Lin without any trace, revealing that Zhao Guo also attached great importance to the peace talks with Chen Guo.
From now on, no matter what Xue Lin proposed, Song Peiyu would show hesitation, but in the end, Xue Lin persuaded her without exception.
The two quickly reached a consensus on the peace talks between Zhao Guo and Chen Guo.
After today's meeting, the two sides drafted the terms of the peace talks. Every five days, they discussed the peace talks here until the peace talks were acceptable to both parties.
Song Peiyu's successive concessions had an excellent effect on Xue Lin.
The specific performance is that Xue Lin gradually no longer looks at Song Peiyu with straight eyes, even if he looks at Song Peiyu, there is always contempt in the depths of his eyes.
After Song Peiyu noticed the change in Xue Lin, the corners of her eyes and mouth drooped, and the hand that was always held by Chong Yi slightly exerted force to remind Chong Yi to prepare for work.
Now that the business has been discussed, it's time to have a banquet.
After the delicious food and wine were served, Song Peiyu suddenly told a story of yin and yang.
The two people who were at odds with each other planned to settle their suspicions. After shaking hands and making peace, they went to have dinner, and one of them was poisoned to death by the other.
Sitting in the center of Zhao Chen, Lu Jihe casually put down the wine glass in his hand, and was about to see how Xue Lin would respond to Song Peiyu's blunt and stupid words, when he suddenly felt something was wrong.
He turned his head suddenly, and found that the people around him were looking at him frequently, their expressions full of hesitation.
Lu Jihe chuckled angrily.
It was Song Peiyu who suddenly went crazy. These people didn't look at Song Peiyu, but what he did.
Could it be that he taught Song Peiyu to go crazy...?
The smile on the corner of Lu Jihe's mouth froze immediately, and he glared at the people around him who were looking at him viciously.
What do you look at, it seems that you have a pair of eyes?
Xue Lin didn't pay attention to the eyebrow-eye lawsuit between Zhao Chen at all. After hearing Song Peiyu's yin and yang story, the corner of his mouth raised a mocking arc, but obvious panic flashed across his face, and his voice changed from mosquito-like to thunder-like, " Is Mr. Yuan worried that I will drug the Zhao country? Don’t worry, I am the king of a country, not to mention that I am acting like a villain, just thinking about it makes me feel dirty.”
He intentionally exposed his superficial guilt and denied poisoning Zhao Guo, and unceremoniously mocked Song Peiyu, waiting for Song Peiyu to refute, and then made Song Peiyu make a fool of himself.
Song Peiyu felt the strength on her right hand and immediately understood what Chong Yi meant.
Xue Lin didn't lie, and he really didn't intend to poison the Zhao people.
Song Peiyu pretended not to understand the meaning of Xue Lin's words, and looked at Xue Lin in surprise, "I just want to tell you a story, you..." Why did you think so much?
Before the stunned Xue Lin could react, Song Peiyu immediately bent down, picked up a large piece of meat, and put it in his mouth without hesitation, proving that he was indeed not as much as Xue Lin thought.
After Song Peiyu tasted all the dishes in front of him, seeing Xue Linzheng's face was full of bewilderment, he thoughtfully waited until Xue Lin's eyes regained the brilliance, then lightly dismissed the topic, and started chatting with Xue Lin with useless gossip.
Not only did Xue Lin not grasp Song Peiyu's tricks, but Song Peiyu turned his back on the army. He didn't know how to react for a while, and subconsciously followed Song Peiyu's words.
After a few sentences, Xue Lin discovered that three of Song Peiyu's five sentences were inseparable from the city of Chu, Yuzhou, which had been completely occupied by Zhao Guo.
How proud Xue Lin was when he exchanged half of Yuzhou's cities for Chu to abandon Zhao and choose Chen.
Xue Lin was very angry when he heard that the Emperor of Chu abolished the crown prince and replaced him with King Xiang, who was closest to Zhao in the clan of Chu State, and immediately surrendered to Zhao State.
Half a year ago, whenever someone dared to mention Chu State and Yuzhou in front of Xue Lin, he would prevent that person from seeing the sun of the next day.
Song Peiyu's words cannot be separated from Yuzhou Chucheng's words, which made Xue Lin feel as if she was sitting on pins and needles.
Xue Lin's face became darker and darker unknowingly. If he hadn't caught Song Peiyu just now, and instead was foiled by Song Peiyu in front of everyone, he lost his composure, and he even wanted to walk away.
Anyway, the most important thing of today's dust-cleaning feast, 'determining the process of peace talks between Chen Guo and Zhao Guo', has ended according to his idea.
Out of the corner of his eye, he could see the impatience between Xue Lin's eyebrows, and Song Peiyu finally asked the question he really wanted to ask, "Officer Qin Tian was watching the stars last night, and there will be heavy rain in three days. The annual rain is getting heavier and heavier, and I don't know if the heavy rain will affect Bai County and delay the peace talks."
"How come?" Xue Lin stretched out his finger to the east, "There is only Moshui that is about to dry up around Baixian County. I am worried about how the people in Baixian County will use water after the Moshui is completely dried up."
Without Chong Yi reminding, Song Peiyu knew that Xue Lin was telling lies.
It is very strange for Xue Lin to know that there is Moshui in Bai County, but he also knows that Moshui is almost dry.
"Do you think Bai County will be flooded in a few days?" Song Peiyu seemed to have not understood Xue Lin's words, with both arms resting on the narrow table between him and Xue Lin, staring at Xue Lin's eyes extremely Oppressive, "Three days? Five days?"
Xue Lin swallowed the bloody taste in his mouth, and looked at Song Peiyu angrily and incomprehensibly, "Didn't I just say that there will be no floods in Bai County, is it possible that Yuan Jun is suffering from hysteria?"
Song Peiyu turned a deaf ear to Xue Lin's words.
As soon as Xue Lin finished speaking, he continued to press, "Seven days? Ten days? Ten..."
Song Peiyu leaned back following the strength on his shoulders, and his nostrils gradually filled with an extremely familiar smell.
At the same time when it was pitch black, Song Peiyu heard Chong Yi's plain voice, "Enough, ten days."
Then came the strong smell of blood.
"His Majesty!"
"Prince Zhao, what have you done!"
"Hurry up, Imperial Physician Xuan!"
……
Song Peiyu persistently asked 'the specific time when Bai County was flooded', causing Xue Lin's thoughts to fall into confusion.
Reason told him that Song Peiyu must have discovered something unusual if he was able to press the question so firmly, and he might have noticed his arrangements in upstream Bai County, Cheng County and Feng County.
But the deep pride and self-satisfaction made Xue Lin refuse to think rationally.
This is an excellent way for Zhao Guo to fall apart based on his unique experience.
How could it be possible for Song Peiyu to see it in advance?
impossible!
absolutely not...
The huge pain in his chest successfully restored Xue Lin's mind, and he subconsciously lowered his head to look at the source of the huge pain.
In front of his chest, there was a silver-white spike.
Even though he saw this scene with his own eyes, Xue Lin still couldn't immediately understand what happened.
He raised his head stupidly, and found that Chong Yi, who had been sitting quietly beside Song Peiyu, stood up at some point.
Song Peiyu, who was aggressively asking him just now, was nestling in Chongyi's arms obediently, completely covered by Chongyi's tall figure and clothes.
As if he had noticed his gaze, Chong Yi, who was looking down at the person in his arms, suddenly looked at him.
This look was exactly the same as Chong Yi's when he first entered the garden.
At that time Xue Lin only felt that Chong Yi was arrogant, but now Xue Lin understood Chong Yi's eyes.
Chong Yi was looking at...the dead.
Xue Lin's anger welled up in his heart uncontrollably, he opened his mouth to scold Prince Zhao and Lord Yuan for their rudeness, but fell limply.
In the process of falling, Xue Lin heard the panicked shouts of the servants he brought.
Ping Zhang, who received Chong Yi's gaze, took out a signal firework from his chest and ignited it.
The weather was beautiful, when Chong Yi and Song Peiyu entered the city in the morning, the sky was still clear, but at this time it was already overcast, just enough to show the red fireworks.
In just two hours, the county government that held the dust-cleaning banquet, including the entire Bai County, was completely controlled by Zhao Jun.
Song Peiyu took off Chong Yi's hand covering his eyes.
At the moment when the eyes were bright again, Song Peiyu's eyes met Xue Lin's eyes full of anger.
"Why isn't he dead yet?" Song Peiyu subconsciously looked up at Chong Yi.
Can the main character not be killed?
"Someone gave him a life-threatening drug." Chong Yi patted Song Peiyu's shoulder lightly, "As long as you pull out the dart, you will surely die."
Song Peiyu was completely relieved of the pent up breath.
Xue Lin also heard Chong Yi's words, opened and closed his mouth but did not make any sound.
Chen Guochen, who was supporting Xue Lin's body, thought that Xue Lin had something to explain to them, and immediately lay half on Xue Lin's body, with his ears almost on Xue Lin's mouth, and looked Xue Lin at Chong Yi and Song Peiyu's eyes. His eyes were tightly blocked.
It's a pity that even if Chen Guochen put his ear completely on Xue Lin's mouth, he could only hear a few breath sounds.
"I... no, I can't... I can..."
Compared with Xue Lin who couldn't even say his last words, Song Peiyu was more concerned that Bai County would be flooded in ten days, which would give Xue Lin confidence that both he and Chong Yi would die in the flood.
Chong Yi left Murong Jing in Bai County, and led his people to Feng County and Cheng County at high speed.
In addition, Song Peiyu also officially notified all Chen Guo officials who were brought to Bai County by Xue Lin that they had become Zhao Guo's captives.
Zhao Guo did not have the habit of killing prisoners, and Song Peiyu was going to send all these prisoners to mining.
If the families of these people are willing to redeem them, Song Peiyu is also willing to make things easier for them.
After hearing Song Peiyu's words, Chen Guochen didn't care about Xue Lin who was doomed to survive, so he immediately focused on Song Peiyu.
They first scolded Zhao Guo for being untrustworthy, and they clearly agreed to the peace talks, but suddenly backtracked during the peace talks.
After finding that Song Peiyu was indifferent to their insults, and even yawned, Chen Guochen said solemnly that they would rather commit suicide than betray the country, let alone mine Zhao Guo, which made Song Peiyu die.
Song Peiyu didn't need to waste his words, Zhao Chen, who Song Peiyu brought to Bai County from Xianyang, had already taken the initiative to argue with Chen Guo's envoy.
When it was completely dark and Song Peiyu ordered Chen Guochen's officials to be placed under house arrest, everyone found that Xue Lin had died quietly.
Two days later, Chong Yi returned to Bai County, with a rare tiredness on his face that could not be concealed.
He told Song Peiyu that Cheng County and Feng County, which are located in the upper reaches of Bai County, have been digging reservoirs day and night since half a year ago.
If there is really heavy rain, fill the reservoirs dug out in Chengxian and Fengxian counties and mix them with the restored abundant desert water. It will be surprising that Baixian County will not be flooded.
After thinking for a while, Song Peiyu chose to abandon Bai County, and asked people to temporarily move the people of Bai County to the surrounding county towns, while he and Chong Yi took the captured Chen Guochen to Cheng County upstream.
If the flood is unavoidable, the way to minimize the loss is to take the initiative to flood the Bai County that Xue Lin had chosen long ago, and preserve Cheng County and Feng County.
Who knows if the flood will be accompanied by other natural disasters.
Song Peiyu's inadvertent idea came true on the fifth day after Bai County became completely empty.
After several days and nights of heavy rain, Chengxian and Fengxian counties opened the gates of the reservoirs when they were about to be flooded, and the water was released into the desert water that did not show any signs of drying up in just a few days.
The desert water rushing downstream, not only completely flooded Bai County, but also caused landslides.
After the rain stopped completely, Pingzhang went to check the situation in Bai County himself.
The eight-foot strong man who has followed Chong Yi for many years and seen countless corpses and seas of blood, told Song Peiyu and Chong Yi with a dazed expression that Bai County has been turned into ruins.
Cheng County and Feng County are by no means huge reservoirs that can be dug out in a few days. Let Zhao Guo agree to the peace talks, but then turned his face at the beginning of the peace talks and acted like a villain first. Chen Guochen's son was speechless.
When the rainy day was over and Zhao Guo's army began to encroach on Yuzhou step by step, Song Peiyu finally remembered these Chen Guo captives.
He always kept his word, saying that he would give these people a chance to redeem their lives, so he immediately wrote to Chen Guo asking Chen Guo to offer a ransom.
Everyone knew that the ransom was definitely more than just gold and silver.
Until Zhao Guo's army drove the Chen Guo people out of Yuzhou like a defeated army, Song Peiyu did not let any of Chen Guo's prisoners go.
Chen Guo, without Xue Lin and one-third of his courtiers, managed to calm down under tremendous pressure after a short period of turmoil.
Chen Guo would rather sacrifice the lives of one-third of the courtiers, but also keep Zhao Jun out of Xu and Yangzhou.
Chong Yi still said the same thing, even with Changhe guarding Xu and Yang states, he could lead the Zhao army to flatten the country of Chen and fight all the way to Jinling, but the casualties of the Zhao army were immeasurable.
Song Peiyu stood by the steep and turbulent river and looked in the direction of Chen Guo, and suddenly remembered that in the hinterland of Yuzhou, there was still a third of Chen Guo's courtiers who had not dealt with it.
After three months, Chen Guochen finally saw Song Peiyu again.
During these three months, they were not ignorant of the outside world.
They knew that Zhao Guo took all the cities in Yuzhou like a broken bamboo.
After learning that Xue Lin's eldest son had ascended the throne, Chen Guochen had a premonition of his own ending.
They have been abandoned by the family, the worst future is to be sent to mine by Song Peiyu, and the best ending is to be sacrificed by Zhao Guo, so that they can have a chance to win a name in history.
Therefore, when Chen Guochen saw Song Peiyu, his attitude was very arrogant, and he felt that he would die standing up even if he died, and even deliberately insulted Song Peiyu with extremely ugly words.
Song Peiyu easily saw Chen Guochen's purpose.
When he said that he would send Chen Guochen's ministers to mine, he was just trying to scare them.
How could he do such a wasteful thing?
As for the sacrificial flag...
For one thing, these officials of Chen Guo did not have a deep hatred with Zhao Guo.
Secondly, Chong Yi led the troops, never needing these fancy ceremonies.
He would abandon Chongyi who was stationed by the Changhe River and rush back to Cheng County alone because he had other arrangements for these Chen Guochens.
Song Peiyu intends to be a good person and let these Chen Guochens go home.
He personally escorted Chen Guochen's ministers to the Changhe that separated Zhao Jun from Chen Guo.
Hearing that Song Peiyu wanted to let them go home, Chen Guochen was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that this was a conspiracy by Song Peiyu and Zhao Guo.
On the day of departure, seeing the rows of prison cars, Chen Guochen's ministers smiled mockingly and confidently.
Either way, the more basely Song Peiyu's method of torturing them was, the more it would help them leave their names in history.
It's a pity that Song Peiyu only let them ride in the prison car, and didn't require them to stand in the prison car. They could sit, or even lie on top of each other, and their daily food had never been reduced.
Occasionally, when the cold was particularly severe, Song Peiyu would have someone cover the prison car with a special thick cloth.
Chen Guochen guessed what kind of conspiracy Song Peiyu would use every day, and then denied his guess every day, and then started a new guess.
In just a few days, Chen Guochen's spirit was completely depressed.
It wasn't until the prison cart filled with Chen Guochen's son slowly passed by the people in Yuzhou that Chen Guochen's realization suddenly dawned on him.
They never expected that Song Peiyu could be so vicious!
to humiliate them with the people.
Song Peiyu, who was at the front of the team, asked Jin Bao to see the situation of Chen Guochen's son.
Jin Bao quickly rushed back to Song Peiyu, and he told Song Peiyu with a strange expression that Chen Guochen's officials were sitting in a circle facing each other in the prison car, embracing each other to avoid the eyes of the common people.
"Huh?" Song Peiyu didn't expect Chen Guochen to be like this... regardless of severity.
When these people saw so many servitors appearing in places other than the city and not in the village, the point was not what the servitors were doing, but their face.
It wasn't until Chen Guochen, who thought he was ashamed after walking through two counties, discovered what Song Peiyu wanted them to see.
In every county they passed, servants were digging reservoirs exactly like those in Chengxian and Fengxian.
The lower reaches of many rivers in Yuzhou are in Chen State!
Chen Guochen's servants in the prison van all remembered that the first city they passed after they left Cheng County was Bai County, which had been completely turned into ruins.
Song Peiyu finally showed a satisfied smile when he heard Chen Guochen's hoarse scolding.
Song Peiyu kept his word, and after rushing back to the Zhao army's garrison by the Changhe River, he immediately drove the Chen Guochens out of the prison car, and did not let the captured Chen Guochens enter the Zhao army's garrison at all.
He only left some food for these Chen Guochens, and threw them by the long river.
Half a day later, Chen Guochen's ministers by the Changhe River were quietly picked up by Chen Guoren.
Half a month later, under the great turmoil and the pressure of Zhao Guo, Chen Guo's fast and stable court began to show signs of disintegration.
In addition to the voices of sticking to Xu and Yangzhou and never compromise with Zhao State, there is a second voice, surrendering to Zhao State, so as to save the people from suffering.
Two months later, Chen Guochaotang was completely divided into three factions.
At the same time, King Xiang led the Jingzhou navy to the Zhao army station in Changhe quietly.
Three months before the flood season, the struggle within the Chen Kingdom became more and more intense.
Chong Yi dispatched troops without warning, and led the Jingzhou navy to take down the twelve cities of Chen State with the Changhe River as a natural danger.
until this time.
The courtiers of Chen State who insisted on sticking to Xu and Yangzhou and never compromised with Zhao State remembered the existence of Jingzhou Navy.
The prisoners of Chen Guo who were released by Song Peiyu were also shocked. Song Peiyu just let them see the people of Yuzhou digging a reservoir, and never admitted that he wanted to flood Chen Guo.
It took less than two years from Xue Lin's death in Bai County to Zhao Jun's arrival at Jinling City.
Everyone knew that as long as Chong Yi led Zhao Jun into the territory of Chen State, the war between Zhao State and Chen State would come to an end.
Instead of sacrificing one's own life and the future of the family to resist Zhao Guo, it is better to consider in advance what to do to be used by Zhao Guoyong and Emperor Zhao Guoyong and Emperor Zhao Guoyong to ensure the prosperity of the family.
Outside Jinling City.
Xue Lin's eldest son, no, Chen Guoxin, who was already the only son, stood at the forefront of Chen Guo's courtiers and surrendered to Zhao Guo.
Chen Guo could not wait to make up for the many surrender ceremonies that Chong Yi and Song Peiyu, the courtiers of Yan State, waited until they were completely impatient and gave up.
Fortunately, this was just Chen Guo's wishful thinking, and the people who made the trouble were all from Chen Guo. For Chong Yi and Song Peiyu, at most they had to stand for a while longer.
Song Peiyu looked down at the 12-year-old young emperor in front of her.
As soon as he ascended the throne, he grasped Chen Guo's courtiers' desire to stabilize Chen Guo at all costs, and eliminated his younger brothers who could threaten his throne one by one.
This kind of cruelty has won Xue Lin's true biography.
When Emperor Chen Guoxin noticed Song Peiyu's gaze, he immediately shivered, raised his pale face and looked at Song Peiyu timidly.
After a while, he showed a shy smile amidst fear.
It's like facing a natural enemy and knowing that it can't escape a small animal. When desperate, it can only expose its soft belly to the beast in order to survive.
Song Peiyu's smile deepened.
Neither the eldest son of Emperor Chen Guoxuan Tai nor the new Emperor Chen Guoxuan should learn this artificial expression.
This person cannot stay.
Emperor Chen Guoxin noticed that the corners of Song Peiyu's mouth had deepened, and immediately lowered his head, a thin red appeared just right behind his ears.
After Chen Guoli's minister finished reading the letter, Chong Yi reached out to take the wooden box held high by Chen Guoxin.
The wooden box contains the jade seal of Chen Guo.
After verifying the jade seal in the wooden box, Chong Yi closed the wooden box again with one hand, suddenly stretched out his free hand, and pressed it impartially on the still bright red neck of Emperor Chen Guoxin.
It was just a touch away, but it made everyone present at a loss, and then took a breath, and looked at Song Peiyu with bright or dark eyes in unison.
A dim light of excitement mixed with disgust flashed in Chen Guoxin's eyes, and his voice was blank with almost invisible panic, "Your Highness?"
Chong Yi ignored Emperor Chen Guoxin, and passed by Emperor Chen Guoxin indifferently. After walking a few steps, he turned around and stretched out his hand to Song Peiyu, his cold eyebrows suddenly softened.
Emperor Chen Guoxin seemed to have just realized what happened just now, and took two steps forward with a blushing face, just blocking between Song Peiyu and Chong Yi.
He looked anxiously at Song Peiyu, "Yuan Jun, please don't get me wrong, Your Highness..."
Song Peiyu put his index finger between his lips, obviously still with that gentle appearance, but Chen Guoxin felt the same pressure from Chong Yi, and subconsciously closed his mouth according to Song Peiyu's instruction.
Holding the Zhao and Zhuque flags and preparing to enter the city with Chong Yi, Ping Zhang, who reminded Chong Yi and Song Peiyu to plant the Zhao and Suzaku flags on the city wall of Jinling respectively, looked left and right for help, and finally It was fixed on Lu Jihe who was beside him with a smile on his lips.
Ping Zhang felt that something was wrong.
Lu Jihe couldn't ignore Pingzhang standing in front of him, "Speak up if you have something to say, don't disgust me."
Ping Zhang asked in a very small voice, "Is Song Peiyu angry?"
"Why is he angry with the dead?" Lu Jihe sneered.
Ping Zhang scratched his ears anxiously, no wonder Lu Jihe is still a loner at such an old age.
He almost pressed against Lu Jihe's ear and said, "I mean, is Song Peiyu angry with His Highness?"
Lu Jihe leaned back violently, avoiding Pingzhang, turned his head, expressionless, "It turns out that a blind man can also take charge of the Ten Commandments of the Eastern Palace for Your Highness."
Didn't Pingzhang see that Chong Yi touched Emperor Chen Guoxin's finger and tore all his clothes?
Or Pingzhang, as a military commander and Chong Yi's confidant, neither can see through Chong Yi's finger on Chen Guoxin's neck is killing him, but also has insufficient brains, so he can't guess that Chong Yi is angry that Chen Guoxin dared to seduce him in front of his face Song Peiyu.
With Chongyi's character, how could he bear this tone.
Under Lu Jihe's extremely oppressive gaze, the cold sweat on Pingzhang's forehead grew more and more.
Seeing that Lu Jihe's expression changed from indifference to sarcasm, Ping Zhang immediately covered Lu Jihe's mouth, even if Lu Jihe's leg hurts, he would never let go.
He was wrong, he shouldn't have asked Lu Jihe, now he just begged Lu Jihe not to talk!
Song Peiyu was very satisfied with the quietness of Emperor Chen Guoxin.
He bypassed Emperor Chen Guoxing, strode towards Chong Yi who was still waiting for him with his hands outstretched, interlocked his fingers, and walked towards the wide open city gate without looking back.
The two of them stepped into the city gate, and there was a series of exclamations suddenly sounded behind them.
"His Majesty?"
"Your Majesty!"
"Lord Lu, are there any military doctors in the Zhao army?"
……
Song Peiyu didn't look back at the chaos behind her, but moved her fingers to hook Chongyi's palm, "Huh?"
Chong Yi sneered, "The little deer bumped into each other and died."
Song Peiyu immediately understood the meaning of Chong Yi's words.
Even if the imperial physician came to see him, he could only see a sudden heart attack in Emperor Chen Guoxin.
After the two of them boarded the city wall, Ping Zhang ran up from under the city wall panting with Zhao Qi and Suzaku Qi on his shoulders, and raised his hands high with a silly smile on his face.
Chong Yi casually put down the wooden box containing Chen Guoyuxi, took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped his fingers.
When he stood behind Song Peiyu, he could just cover Song Peiyu but not completely cover Song Peiyu.
The overlapping backs of the two were so harmonious that Ping Zhang couldn't help but look at them twice more.
Chong Yi held Song Peiyu's hand, first picked up the Suzaku flag that was about to fly, and planted it firmly and slowly on the city wall of Jinling.
Zhao Jun under the city wall immediately knelt down, shouting like a mountain roar and a tsunami.
Chen Guochen's ministers who were still at a loss for the sudden death of Emperor Chen Guoxin also knelt down and looked up at Chong Yi and Song Peiyu on the city wall.
When inserting the Zhao flag into the city wall of Jinling, Song Peiyu heard a gentle and deep voice in his ear, "The war in Kyushu has stopped, may it relieve Qing's knot?"
In the new round of mountain roar and tsunami, Song Peiyu held onto Chong Yi's hand tightly, "No, but you are always by my side, and you are safe every year, so you can relieve your worries."
In order to show his sincerity, Xue Lin deliberately withdrew half of the garrison in Bai County.
For Chongyi, Song Peiyu, and the [-] cavalry they brought from Xianyang, half of Bai County was vacated.
Chong Yi and Song Peiyu led [-] cavalry into Bai County, but Xue Lin failed to fulfill his wish. They directly took the [-] cavalry to the county government where the dust-cleaning feast was held.
In addition, Murong Jing, who has been in Yuzhou for a long time, is leading an army of [-], quietly ambushing near Bai County.
Chong Yi and Song Peiyu entered the county government office with the accompanying civil servants and the elite of the two hundred cavalry.
Relying on their numbers, the remaining cavalry occupied four-fifths of the area outside the county government office, crowding the [-] Chen troops brought by Xue Lin into a corner in the northwest.
Song Peiyu had seen many of Xue Lin's albums, and also seen the corpse of 'Xue Lin', but this was the first time she saw Xue Lin in person.
Among all the information collected by Song Peiyu, Xue Lin can be regarded as a handsome man.
But after seeing the real person...
Song Peiyu has to say that power is the best filter for a man.
Not to mention Xue Lin's face full of burns, the cold aura on Xue Lin's body alone has nothing to do with a beautiful man. Song Peiyu even felt that the feeling Xue Lin gave him was not as good as the 'Xue Lin' who was already a corpse when he saw it .
Perhaps because he already knew the news that the manor was surrounded by [-] Zhao cavalry, Xue Lin sat on the side seat and looked at the door with particularly deep eyes.
Snake-like eyes swept across Song Peiyu's body, and stayed on Chongyi's face for a long time, Xue Lin's eyes flashed with almost invisible amazement.
Chong Yi immediately raised his eyelids to look over, his black and white eyes were deep and deep as if they could swallow everything.
The astonishment in Xue Lin's eyes that had not completely dissipated immediately turned into panic, and he subconsciously looked away, actively avoiding the eye contact with Chong Yi.
After realizing what he had done, Xue Lin became furious, and blue veins appeared on his forehead visible to the naked eye.
He turned his head, stared at Chong Yi viciously, and directly challenged, "I kindly clean up the dust for Prince Zhao, but Prince Zhao brought an army of [-] to come. Is this Zhao Guo's sincerity for the peace negotiation?"
Chong Yi spoke, but the words had nothing to do with Xue Lin's question, "Are you Xue Lin?"
As soon as these words came out, Chen Guojun and his ministers were all stunned, and then they looked weird, and they all remembered the farce of the real and fake Xue Lin.
Chong Yi didn't care about Chen Guoren's thoughts at all.
He held Song Peiyu's hand and walked straight to the first seat, only separated from Xue Lin by a narrow table seat, pressed Song Peiyu's shoulder, let Song Peiyu sit on the empty seat specially prepared for him by Chen Guo, and stood there very naturally side.
Zhao Chen has long been used to the prince's love for Yuan Jun, and he was not surprised to see that Chong Yi would rather stand by himself than let Song Peiyu sit.
On the contrary, they felt that Chen Guo had no eyesight. He knew that it was the prince and Yuan Jun who came to Bai County for an appointment, so they only prepared a chair for the main seat.
The ministers of Chen Guo first heard the news that [-] cavalry from Zhao Guo had surrounded the county government, and Chong Yi lightly pointed out that Xue Lin had sent a double to Zhao Guo secretly, and even caused a scandal of "true and false princes" in Chen Guo. I am suffocated to the extreme.
After they saw the actions of Chong Yi and Song Peiyu, they immediately seemed to have grasped a clue, and laughed at the fact that there is no distinction between high and low in Zhao Guo, and there is a reason why the crown prince sits and the crown prince stands.
Xue Lin fell into silence with a gloomy face. He didn't completely lose his mind because Chong Yi reminded him of the "true and fake Xue Lin". The ministers of the state and the ministers of the state of Zhao.
Standing in the center of Zhao Chen, Lu Jihe was too lazy to talk nonsense with Chen Guoren, so he gave Pingzhang a wink and signaled Pingzhang to move Chongyi a chair.
There was a contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth, and he observed the officials of Chen Guo brought by Xue Lin openly.
These ministers of Chen Guo kept making troubles for Zhao Guo, but not all of them were to protect Xue Lin.
Most of Chen Guo's ministers just wanted to test Zhao Guo's [-] cavalry to surround the county government by means of disputes, and whether he really wanted to fight Chen Guo directly.
Only a very small number of Chen Guochen's officials would look back at Xue Lin's face from time to time when arguing with Zhao Chen, because they wanted to defend Xue Lin from the bottom of their hearts.
The dispute between Zhao Chen and Chen Guochen lasted for a long time, and Xue Lincai managed to make things right when both sides became more and more emotional.
Song Peiyu patted Chong Yi's thigh discreetly under the cover of his wide sleeves to appease Chong Yi's impatience, but Chong Yi grabbed his hand and played with it.
He tried to pull his hand out, but failed, so he could only focus on two things. While perfunctory Xue Lin's useless nonsense, he was distracted to remind Chong Yi not to be too blatant.
Xue Lin didn't notice Song Peiyu's perfunctory at all. Ever since he started talking with Song Peiyu, Xue Lin's mood has become better and better.
When Chen Zhaohe talked about such an important matter, Prince Zhao didn't say a word, and Zhao Chen also got used to it.
Prince Zhao had only been married for less than a year, but he was pinned down by a male concubine from the Song family. He turned out to be a reckless man who could only lead soldiers to fight.
Xue Lin is already considering whether to change the plan and send Song Peiyu back to Xianyang.
The crown prince died in Bai County, but the male concubine who had no contact with Zhao's royal family after the loss of the crown prince was alive and well.
This male concubine also came from the largest family in Zhao State. She is in her prime and is proficient in political affairs. Even if the five small county kings of Su Wang's mansion are pinched together, they can't compare with this male concubine.
Xue Lin smiled even more.
By that time, something very interesting will definitely happen in Xianyang.
Song Peiyu immediately noticed that Xue Lin was getting more and more happy, but she didn't know why Xue Lin was so happy all of a sudden, she habitually stretched out her finger and pointed at the table close at hand.
"You don't have to be so guarded against me." Xue Lin said sincerely, "I came to discuss peace with Zhao Guo with the greatest sincerity. In order to let the people of Kyushu have time to breathe, Chen Guo can make appropriate concessions in Yuzhou. I hope There can be at least ten years of peace between Chen Guo and Zhao Guo."
Song Peiyu was about to speak when she suddenly felt itchy in Chong Yi's palm. It was Chong Yi who was scratching his palm twice.
Even without looking back, Song Peiyu could still imagine Chongyi's expression and what he wanted to say at the moment.
Must be deadpan said, "lie"
Chong Yi's appearance appeared in his mind, and the seriousness on Song Peiyu's face softened immediately.
Xue Lin squinted at Song Peiyu's soft smile. He knew that this smile was not offensive, but felt that it was extremely glaring.
"You don't believe my sincerity?" Xue Lin pointed out the wall, "I deliberately withdrew half of the Chen army in Bai County so that the Zhao army could enter Bai County. Knowing that the crown prince brought [-] of Zhao's elite cavalry outside the county office, The [-] Chen army regiments that surrounded me brought me did not leave immediately. Could it be that these things can't let Zhao Guo see my sincerity?"
So far, Xue Lin has indeed shown great sincerity.
This sincerity, whether it is the sincerity of the peace talks, or the sincerity that was disguised because of great conspiracy... Not only Song Peiyu, but most of Zhao's courtiers are more inclined to the latter.
Song Peiyu didn't bother to care about the dying person, so she immediately asked someone to pour wine and punished herself with three glasses to apologize to Xue Lin.
Xue Lin was dissatisfied when she found that Song Peiyu was absent-minded.
Now that Song Peiyu wanted to toast him to make amends, Xue Lin felt suspicious again.
It wasn't until Song Peiyu drank three cups with his own eyes that Xue Lin showed a satisfied expression.
After toasting the farewell wine, Song Peiyu flattered Xue Lin without any trace, revealing that Zhao Guo also attached great importance to the peace talks with Chen Guo.
From now on, no matter what Xue Lin proposed, Song Peiyu would show hesitation, but in the end, Xue Lin persuaded her without exception.
The two quickly reached a consensus on the peace talks between Zhao Guo and Chen Guo.
After today's meeting, the two sides drafted the terms of the peace talks. Every five days, they discussed the peace talks here until the peace talks were acceptable to both parties.
Song Peiyu's successive concessions had an excellent effect on Xue Lin.
The specific performance is that Xue Lin gradually no longer looks at Song Peiyu with straight eyes, even if he looks at Song Peiyu, there is always contempt in the depths of his eyes.
After Song Peiyu noticed the change in Xue Lin, the corners of her eyes and mouth drooped, and the hand that was always held by Chong Yi slightly exerted force to remind Chong Yi to prepare for work.
Now that the business has been discussed, it's time to have a banquet.
After the delicious food and wine were served, Song Peiyu suddenly told a story of yin and yang.
The two people who were at odds with each other planned to settle their suspicions. After shaking hands and making peace, they went to have dinner, and one of them was poisoned to death by the other.
Sitting in the center of Zhao Chen, Lu Jihe casually put down the wine glass in his hand, and was about to see how Xue Lin would respond to Song Peiyu's blunt and stupid words, when he suddenly felt something was wrong.
He turned his head suddenly, and found that the people around him were looking at him frequently, their expressions full of hesitation.
Lu Jihe chuckled angrily.
It was Song Peiyu who suddenly went crazy. These people didn't look at Song Peiyu, but what he did.
Could it be that he taught Song Peiyu to go crazy...?
The smile on the corner of Lu Jihe's mouth froze immediately, and he glared at the people around him who were looking at him viciously.
What do you look at, it seems that you have a pair of eyes?
Xue Lin didn't pay attention to the eyebrow-eye lawsuit between Zhao Chen at all. After hearing Song Peiyu's yin and yang story, the corner of his mouth raised a mocking arc, but obvious panic flashed across his face, and his voice changed from mosquito-like to thunder-like, " Is Mr. Yuan worried that I will drug the Zhao country? Don’t worry, I am the king of a country, not to mention that I am acting like a villain, just thinking about it makes me feel dirty.”
He intentionally exposed his superficial guilt and denied poisoning Zhao Guo, and unceremoniously mocked Song Peiyu, waiting for Song Peiyu to refute, and then made Song Peiyu make a fool of himself.
Song Peiyu felt the strength on her right hand and immediately understood what Chong Yi meant.
Xue Lin didn't lie, and he really didn't intend to poison the Zhao people.
Song Peiyu pretended not to understand the meaning of Xue Lin's words, and looked at Xue Lin in surprise, "I just want to tell you a story, you..." Why did you think so much?
Before the stunned Xue Lin could react, Song Peiyu immediately bent down, picked up a large piece of meat, and put it in his mouth without hesitation, proving that he was indeed not as much as Xue Lin thought.
After Song Peiyu tasted all the dishes in front of him, seeing Xue Linzheng's face was full of bewilderment, he thoughtfully waited until Xue Lin's eyes regained the brilliance, then lightly dismissed the topic, and started chatting with Xue Lin with useless gossip.
Not only did Xue Lin not grasp Song Peiyu's tricks, but Song Peiyu turned his back on the army. He didn't know how to react for a while, and subconsciously followed Song Peiyu's words.
After a few sentences, Xue Lin discovered that three of Song Peiyu's five sentences were inseparable from the city of Chu, Yuzhou, which had been completely occupied by Zhao Guo.
How proud Xue Lin was when he exchanged half of Yuzhou's cities for Chu to abandon Zhao and choose Chen.
Xue Lin was very angry when he heard that the Emperor of Chu abolished the crown prince and replaced him with King Xiang, who was closest to Zhao in the clan of Chu State, and immediately surrendered to Zhao State.
Half a year ago, whenever someone dared to mention Chu State and Yuzhou in front of Xue Lin, he would prevent that person from seeing the sun of the next day.
Song Peiyu's words cannot be separated from Yuzhou Chucheng's words, which made Xue Lin feel as if she was sitting on pins and needles.
Xue Lin's face became darker and darker unknowingly. If he hadn't caught Song Peiyu just now, and instead was foiled by Song Peiyu in front of everyone, he lost his composure, and he even wanted to walk away.
Anyway, the most important thing of today's dust-cleaning feast, 'determining the process of peace talks between Chen Guo and Zhao Guo', has ended according to his idea.
Out of the corner of his eye, he could see the impatience between Xue Lin's eyebrows, and Song Peiyu finally asked the question he really wanted to ask, "Officer Qin Tian was watching the stars last night, and there will be heavy rain in three days. The annual rain is getting heavier and heavier, and I don't know if the heavy rain will affect Bai County and delay the peace talks."
"How come?" Xue Lin stretched out his finger to the east, "There is only Moshui that is about to dry up around Baixian County. I am worried about how the people in Baixian County will use water after the Moshui is completely dried up."
Without Chong Yi reminding, Song Peiyu knew that Xue Lin was telling lies.
It is very strange for Xue Lin to know that there is Moshui in Bai County, but he also knows that Moshui is almost dry.
"Do you think Bai County will be flooded in a few days?" Song Peiyu seemed to have not understood Xue Lin's words, with both arms resting on the narrow table between him and Xue Lin, staring at Xue Lin's eyes extremely Oppressive, "Three days? Five days?"
Xue Lin swallowed the bloody taste in his mouth, and looked at Song Peiyu angrily and incomprehensibly, "Didn't I just say that there will be no floods in Bai County, is it possible that Yuan Jun is suffering from hysteria?"
Song Peiyu turned a deaf ear to Xue Lin's words.
As soon as Xue Lin finished speaking, he continued to press, "Seven days? Ten days? Ten..."
Song Peiyu leaned back following the strength on his shoulders, and his nostrils gradually filled with an extremely familiar smell.
At the same time when it was pitch black, Song Peiyu heard Chong Yi's plain voice, "Enough, ten days."
Then came the strong smell of blood.
"His Majesty!"
"Prince Zhao, what have you done!"
"Hurry up, Imperial Physician Xuan!"
……
Song Peiyu persistently asked 'the specific time when Bai County was flooded', causing Xue Lin's thoughts to fall into confusion.
Reason told him that Song Peiyu must have discovered something unusual if he was able to press the question so firmly, and he might have noticed his arrangements in upstream Bai County, Cheng County and Feng County.
But the deep pride and self-satisfaction made Xue Lin refuse to think rationally.
This is an excellent way for Zhao Guo to fall apart based on his unique experience.
How could it be possible for Song Peiyu to see it in advance?
impossible!
absolutely not...
The huge pain in his chest successfully restored Xue Lin's mind, and he subconsciously lowered his head to look at the source of the huge pain.
In front of his chest, there was a silver-white spike.
Even though he saw this scene with his own eyes, Xue Lin still couldn't immediately understand what happened.
He raised his head stupidly, and found that Chong Yi, who had been sitting quietly beside Song Peiyu, stood up at some point.
Song Peiyu, who was aggressively asking him just now, was nestling in Chongyi's arms obediently, completely covered by Chongyi's tall figure and clothes.
As if he had noticed his gaze, Chong Yi, who was looking down at the person in his arms, suddenly looked at him.
This look was exactly the same as Chong Yi's when he first entered the garden.
At that time Xue Lin only felt that Chong Yi was arrogant, but now Xue Lin understood Chong Yi's eyes.
Chong Yi was looking at...the dead.
Xue Lin's anger welled up in his heart uncontrollably, he opened his mouth to scold Prince Zhao and Lord Yuan for their rudeness, but fell limply.
In the process of falling, Xue Lin heard the panicked shouts of the servants he brought.
Ping Zhang, who received Chong Yi's gaze, took out a signal firework from his chest and ignited it.
The weather was beautiful, when Chong Yi and Song Peiyu entered the city in the morning, the sky was still clear, but at this time it was already overcast, just enough to show the red fireworks.
In just two hours, the county government that held the dust-cleaning banquet, including the entire Bai County, was completely controlled by Zhao Jun.
Song Peiyu took off Chong Yi's hand covering his eyes.
At the moment when the eyes were bright again, Song Peiyu's eyes met Xue Lin's eyes full of anger.
"Why isn't he dead yet?" Song Peiyu subconsciously looked up at Chong Yi.
Can the main character not be killed?
"Someone gave him a life-threatening drug." Chong Yi patted Song Peiyu's shoulder lightly, "As long as you pull out the dart, you will surely die."
Song Peiyu was completely relieved of the pent up breath.
Xue Lin also heard Chong Yi's words, opened and closed his mouth but did not make any sound.
Chen Guochen, who was supporting Xue Lin's body, thought that Xue Lin had something to explain to them, and immediately lay half on Xue Lin's body, with his ears almost on Xue Lin's mouth, and looked Xue Lin at Chong Yi and Song Peiyu's eyes. His eyes were tightly blocked.
It's a pity that even if Chen Guochen put his ear completely on Xue Lin's mouth, he could only hear a few breath sounds.
"I... no, I can't... I can..."
Compared with Xue Lin who couldn't even say his last words, Song Peiyu was more concerned that Bai County would be flooded in ten days, which would give Xue Lin confidence that both he and Chong Yi would die in the flood.
Chong Yi left Murong Jing in Bai County, and led his people to Feng County and Cheng County at high speed.
In addition, Song Peiyu also officially notified all Chen Guo officials who were brought to Bai County by Xue Lin that they had become Zhao Guo's captives.
Zhao Guo did not have the habit of killing prisoners, and Song Peiyu was going to send all these prisoners to mining.
If the families of these people are willing to redeem them, Song Peiyu is also willing to make things easier for them.
After hearing Song Peiyu's words, Chen Guochen didn't care about Xue Lin who was doomed to survive, so he immediately focused on Song Peiyu.
They first scolded Zhao Guo for being untrustworthy, and they clearly agreed to the peace talks, but suddenly backtracked during the peace talks.
After finding that Song Peiyu was indifferent to their insults, and even yawned, Chen Guochen said solemnly that they would rather commit suicide than betray the country, let alone mine Zhao Guo, which made Song Peiyu die.
Song Peiyu didn't need to waste his words, Zhao Chen, who Song Peiyu brought to Bai County from Xianyang, had already taken the initiative to argue with Chen Guo's envoy.
When it was completely dark and Song Peiyu ordered Chen Guochen's officials to be placed under house arrest, everyone found that Xue Lin had died quietly.
Two days later, Chong Yi returned to Bai County, with a rare tiredness on his face that could not be concealed.
He told Song Peiyu that Cheng County and Feng County, which are located in the upper reaches of Bai County, have been digging reservoirs day and night since half a year ago.
If there is really heavy rain, fill the reservoirs dug out in Chengxian and Fengxian counties and mix them with the restored abundant desert water. It will be surprising that Baixian County will not be flooded.
After thinking for a while, Song Peiyu chose to abandon Bai County, and asked people to temporarily move the people of Bai County to the surrounding county towns, while he and Chong Yi took the captured Chen Guochen to Cheng County upstream.
If the flood is unavoidable, the way to minimize the loss is to take the initiative to flood the Bai County that Xue Lin had chosen long ago, and preserve Cheng County and Feng County.
Who knows if the flood will be accompanied by other natural disasters.
Song Peiyu's inadvertent idea came true on the fifth day after Bai County became completely empty.
After several days and nights of heavy rain, Chengxian and Fengxian counties opened the gates of the reservoirs when they were about to be flooded, and the water was released into the desert water that did not show any signs of drying up in just a few days.
The desert water rushing downstream, not only completely flooded Bai County, but also caused landslides.
After the rain stopped completely, Pingzhang went to check the situation in Bai County himself.
The eight-foot strong man who has followed Chong Yi for many years and seen countless corpses and seas of blood, told Song Peiyu and Chong Yi with a dazed expression that Bai County has been turned into ruins.
Cheng County and Feng County are by no means huge reservoirs that can be dug out in a few days. Let Zhao Guo agree to the peace talks, but then turned his face at the beginning of the peace talks and acted like a villain first. Chen Guochen's son was speechless.
When the rainy day was over and Zhao Guo's army began to encroach on Yuzhou step by step, Song Peiyu finally remembered these Chen Guo captives.
He always kept his word, saying that he would give these people a chance to redeem their lives, so he immediately wrote to Chen Guo asking Chen Guo to offer a ransom.
Everyone knew that the ransom was definitely more than just gold and silver.
Until Zhao Guo's army drove the Chen Guo people out of Yuzhou like a defeated army, Song Peiyu did not let any of Chen Guo's prisoners go.
Chen Guo, without Xue Lin and one-third of his courtiers, managed to calm down under tremendous pressure after a short period of turmoil.
Chen Guo would rather sacrifice the lives of one-third of the courtiers, but also keep Zhao Jun out of Xu and Yangzhou.
Chong Yi still said the same thing, even with Changhe guarding Xu and Yang states, he could lead the Zhao army to flatten the country of Chen and fight all the way to Jinling, but the casualties of the Zhao army were immeasurable.
Song Peiyu stood by the steep and turbulent river and looked in the direction of Chen Guo, and suddenly remembered that in the hinterland of Yuzhou, there was still a third of Chen Guo's courtiers who had not dealt with it.
After three months, Chen Guochen finally saw Song Peiyu again.
During these three months, they were not ignorant of the outside world.
They knew that Zhao Guo took all the cities in Yuzhou like a broken bamboo.
After learning that Xue Lin's eldest son had ascended the throne, Chen Guochen had a premonition of his own ending.
They have been abandoned by the family, the worst future is to be sent to mine by Song Peiyu, and the best ending is to be sacrificed by Zhao Guo, so that they can have a chance to win a name in history.
Therefore, when Chen Guochen saw Song Peiyu, his attitude was very arrogant, and he felt that he would die standing up even if he died, and even deliberately insulted Song Peiyu with extremely ugly words.
Song Peiyu easily saw Chen Guochen's purpose.
When he said that he would send Chen Guochen's ministers to mine, he was just trying to scare them.
How could he do such a wasteful thing?
As for the sacrificial flag...
For one thing, these officials of Chen Guo did not have a deep hatred with Zhao Guo.
Secondly, Chong Yi led the troops, never needing these fancy ceremonies.
He would abandon Chongyi who was stationed by the Changhe River and rush back to Cheng County alone because he had other arrangements for these Chen Guochens.
Song Peiyu intends to be a good person and let these Chen Guochens go home.
He personally escorted Chen Guochen's ministers to the Changhe that separated Zhao Jun from Chen Guo.
Hearing that Song Peiyu wanted to let them go home, Chen Guochen was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that this was a conspiracy by Song Peiyu and Zhao Guo.
On the day of departure, seeing the rows of prison cars, Chen Guochen's ministers smiled mockingly and confidently.
Either way, the more basely Song Peiyu's method of torturing them was, the more it would help them leave their names in history.
It's a pity that Song Peiyu only let them ride in the prison car, and didn't require them to stand in the prison car. They could sit, or even lie on top of each other, and their daily food had never been reduced.
Occasionally, when the cold was particularly severe, Song Peiyu would have someone cover the prison car with a special thick cloth.
Chen Guochen guessed what kind of conspiracy Song Peiyu would use every day, and then denied his guess every day, and then started a new guess.
In just a few days, Chen Guochen's spirit was completely depressed.
It wasn't until the prison cart filled with Chen Guochen's son slowly passed by the people in Yuzhou that Chen Guochen's realization suddenly dawned on him.
They never expected that Song Peiyu could be so vicious!
to humiliate them with the people.
Song Peiyu, who was at the front of the team, asked Jin Bao to see the situation of Chen Guochen's son.
Jin Bao quickly rushed back to Song Peiyu, and he told Song Peiyu with a strange expression that Chen Guochen's officials were sitting in a circle facing each other in the prison car, embracing each other to avoid the eyes of the common people.
"Huh?" Song Peiyu didn't expect Chen Guochen to be like this... regardless of severity.
When these people saw so many servitors appearing in places other than the city and not in the village, the point was not what the servitors were doing, but their face.
It wasn't until Chen Guochen, who thought he was ashamed after walking through two counties, discovered what Song Peiyu wanted them to see.
In every county they passed, servants were digging reservoirs exactly like those in Chengxian and Fengxian.
The lower reaches of many rivers in Yuzhou are in Chen State!
Chen Guochen's servants in the prison van all remembered that the first city they passed after they left Cheng County was Bai County, which had been completely turned into ruins.
Song Peiyu finally showed a satisfied smile when he heard Chen Guochen's hoarse scolding.
Song Peiyu kept his word, and after rushing back to the Zhao army's garrison by the Changhe River, he immediately drove the Chen Guochens out of the prison car, and did not let the captured Chen Guochens enter the Zhao army's garrison at all.
He only left some food for these Chen Guochens, and threw them by the long river.
Half a day later, Chen Guochen's ministers by the Changhe River were quietly picked up by Chen Guoren.
Half a month later, under the great turmoil and the pressure of Zhao Guo, Chen Guo's fast and stable court began to show signs of disintegration.
In addition to the voices of sticking to Xu and Yangzhou and never compromise with Zhao State, there is a second voice, surrendering to Zhao State, so as to save the people from suffering.
Two months later, Chen Guochaotang was completely divided into three factions.
At the same time, King Xiang led the Jingzhou navy to the Zhao army station in Changhe quietly.
Three months before the flood season, the struggle within the Chen Kingdom became more and more intense.
Chong Yi dispatched troops without warning, and led the Jingzhou navy to take down the twelve cities of Chen State with the Changhe River as a natural danger.
until this time.
The courtiers of Chen State who insisted on sticking to Xu and Yangzhou and never compromised with Zhao State remembered the existence of Jingzhou Navy.
The prisoners of Chen Guo who were released by Song Peiyu were also shocked. Song Peiyu just let them see the people of Yuzhou digging a reservoir, and never admitted that he wanted to flood Chen Guo.
It took less than two years from Xue Lin's death in Bai County to Zhao Jun's arrival at Jinling City.
Everyone knew that as long as Chong Yi led Zhao Jun into the territory of Chen State, the war between Zhao State and Chen State would come to an end.
Instead of sacrificing one's own life and the future of the family to resist Zhao Guo, it is better to consider in advance what to do to be used by Zhao Guoyong and Emperor Zhao Guoyong and Emperor Zhao Guoyong to ensure the prosperity of the family.
Outside Jinling City.
Xue Lin's eldest son, no, Chen Guoxin, who was already the only son, stood at the forefront of Chen Guo's courtiers and surrendered to Zhao Guo.
Chen Guo could not wait to make up for the many surrender ceremonies that Chong Yi and Song Peiyu, the courtiers of Yan State, waited until they were completely impatient and gave up.
Fortunately, this was just Chen Guo's wishful thinking, and the people who made the trouble were all from Chen Guo. For Chong Yi and Song Peiyu, at most they had to stand for a while longer.
Song Peiyu looked down at the 12-year-old young emperor in front of her.
As soon as he ascended the throne, he grasped Chen Guo's courtiers' desire to stabilize Chen Guo at all costs, and eliminated his younger brothers who could threaten his throne one by one.
This kind of cruelty has won Xue Lin's true biography.
When Emperor Chen Guoxin noticed Song Peiyu's gaze, he immediately shivered, raised his pale face and looked at Song Peiyu timidly.
After a while, he showed a shy smile amidst fear.
It's like facing a natural enemy and knowing that it can't escape a small animal. When desperate, it can only expose its soft belly to the beast in order to survive.
Song Peiyu's smile deepened.
Neither the eldest son of Emperor Chen Guoxuan Tai nor the new Emperor Chen Guoxuan should learn this artificial expression.
This person cannot stay.
Emperor Chen Guoxin noticed that the corners of Song Peiyu's mouth had deepened, and immediately lowered his head, a thin red appeared just right behind his ears.
After Chen Guoli's minister finished reading the letter, Chong Yi reached out to take the wooden box held high by Chen Guoxin.
The wooden box contains the jade seal of Chen Guo.
After verifying the jade seal in the wooden box, Chong Yi closed the wooden box again with one hand, suddenly stretched out his free hand, and pressed it impartially on the still bright red neck of Emperor Chen Guoxin.
It was just a touch away, but it made everyone present at a loss, and then took a breath, and looked at Song Peiyu with bright or dark eyes in unison.
A dim light of excitement mixed with disgust flashed in Chen Guoxin's eyes, and his voice was blank with almost invisible panic, "Your Highness?"
Chong Yi ignored Emperor Chen Guoxin, and passed by Emperor Chen Guoxin indifferently. After walking a few steps, he turned around and stretched out his hand to Song Peiyu, his cold eyebrows suddenly softened.
Emperor Chen Guoxin seemed to have just realized what happened just now, and took two steps forward with a blushing face, just blocking between Song Peiyu and Chong Yi.
He looked anxiously at Song Peiyu, "Yuan Jun, please don't get me wrong, Your Highness..."
Song Peiyu put his index finger between his lips, obviously still with that gentle appearance, but Chen Guoxin felt the same pressure from Chong Yi, and subconsciously closed his mouth according to Song Peiyu's instruction.
Holding the Zhao and Zhuque flags and preparing to enter the city with Chong Yi, Ping Zhang, who reminded Chong Yi and Song Peiyu to plant the Zhao and Suzaku flags on the city wall of Jinling respectively, looked left and right for help, and finally It was fixed on Lu Jihe who was beside him with a smile on his lips.
Ping Zhang felt that something was wrong.
Lu Jihe couldn't ignore Pingzhang standing in front of him, "Speak up if you have something to say, don't disgust me."
Ping Zhang asked in a very small voice, "Is Song Peiyu angry?"
"Why is he angry with the dead?" Lu Jihe sneered.
Ping Zhang scratched his ears anxiously, no wonder Lu Jihe is still a loner at such an old age.
He almost pressed against Lu Jihe's ear and said, "I mean, is Song Peiyu angry with His Highness?"
Lu Jihe leaned back violently, avoiding Pingzhang, turned his head, expressionless, "It turns out that a blind man can also take charge of the Ten Commandments of the Eastern Palace for Your Highness."
Didn't Pingzhang see that Chong Yi touched Emperor Chen Guoxin's finger and tore all his clothes?
Or Pingzhang, as a military commander and Chong Yi's confidant, neither can see through Chong Yi's finger on Chen Guoxin's neck is killing him, but also has insufficient brains, so he can't guess that Chong Yi is angry that Chen Guoxin dared to seduce him in front of his face Song Peiyu.
With Chongyi's character, how could he bear this tone.
Under Lu Jihe's extremely oppressive gaze, the cold sweat on Pingzhang's forehead grew more and more.
Seeing that Lu Jihe's expression changed from indifference to sarcasm, Ping Zhang immediately covered Lu Jihe's mouth, even if Lu Jihe's leg hurts, he would never let go.
He was wrong, he shouldn't have asked Lu Jihe, now he just begged Lu Jihe not to talk!
Song Peiyu was very satisfied with the quietness of Emperor Chen Guoxin.
He bypassed Emperor Chen Guoxing, strode towards Chong Yi who was still waiting for him with his hands outstretched, interlocked his fingers, and walked towards the wide open city gate without looking back.
The two of them stepped into the city gate, and there was a series of exclamations suddenly sounded behind them.
"His Majesty?"
"Your Majesty!"
"Lord Lu, are there any military doctors in the Zhao army?"
……
Song Peiyu didn't look back at the chaos behind her, but moved her fingers to hook Chongyi's palm, "Huh?"
Chong Yi sneered, "The little deer bumped into each other and died."
Song Peiyu immediately understood the meaning of Chong Yi's words.
Even if the imperial physician came to see him, he could only see a sudden heart attack in Emperor Chen Guoxin.
After the two of them boarded the city wall, Ping Zhang ran up from under the city wall panting with Zhao Qi and Suzaku Qi on his shoulders, and raised his hands high with a silly smile on his face.
Chong Yi casually put down the wooden box containing Chen Guoyuxi, took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped his fingers.
When he stood behind Song Peiyu, he could just cover Song Peiyu but not completely cover Song Peiyu.
The overlapping backs of the two were so harmonious that Ping Zhang couldn't help but look at them twice more.
Chong Yi held Song Peiyu's hand, first picked up the Suzaku flag that was about to fly, and planted it firmly and slowly on the city wall of Jinling.
Zhao Jun under the city wall immediately knelt down, shouting like a mountain roar and a tsunami.
Chen Guochen's ministers who were still at a loss for the sudden death of Emperor Chen Guoxin also knelt down and looked up at Chong Yi and Song Peiyu on the city wall.
When inserting the Zhao flag into the city wall of Jinling, Song Peiyu heard a gentle and deep voice in his ear, "The war in Kyushu has stopped, may it relieve Qing's knot?"
In the new round of mountain roar and tsunami, Song Peiyu held onto Chong Yi's hand tightly, "No, but you are always by my side, and you are safe every year, so you can relieve your worries."
