Chapter 2 wedge

The autumn wind has risen again. When Chen Fu walked up a small hill, a gust of wind blew the corner of his robe.He raised his head and looked at the sky, on the white as paper sky, a group of geese were flying overhead. Only you, still travel from south to north year after year, never knowing that the country has changed. Chen Fu suddenly felt a cold hand touch his head, and he wanted to let out a long sigh, but he restrained it immediately.Because he knew that at this moment, if the generals saw him sighing, it might make the army's morale fluctuate.He stopped thinking about it, and walked up to a stone platform in front of him.

The stone platform is used for looking out, General Chen Jie has been there for most of the day.Seeing Chen Fu coming, Chen Jie stepped forward and saluted, "Military Master, why are you here?" Chen Fu said: "Just now I went to see the young master. Is there any movement?" "Never." Chen Jie thought to himself that the young master and Chen Junshi's wives had just given birth to children in the army, and the young master was also sick. He thought there must be many things to do, and he could only take care of the important affairs in the army, but he didn't expect The military division came over so quickly.

From here, you can see Jiankang City from afar.Jiankang, in the Qin Dynasty, it is said that because a sorcerer saw the king's spirit, the first emperor buried it on the Jinling Mountain, so it was also called Jinling. It has always been a famous city where dragons and tigers live.Chen Fu looked around and whispered, "General, please pay more attention." Chen Jie agreed, and then whispered: "Military Master, will Yang Su really come out?" "Definitely." Chen Fu said, and immediately answered: "This person is not someone to wait for, so be careful not to be tricked by him."

Chen Fu, whose name is Jiye, was originally Zuo Cheng, Shangshu of Southern Chen.Eleven years ago, in the third year of Chen Zhenming in the south, with Jin Wang Yang Guang as the commander, the Sui soldiers marched southward and defeated Chendu Jiankang in one fell swoop, and captured the queen master Chen Shubao alive. The Chen Dynasty ended, and Chen Fu escaped in the chaos.For the past eleven years, he, general Chen Jie, and son-in-law Xu Deyan worked hard for the restoration of Nanchen every single day.Gathering exiles and contacting the survivors, an army of more than 10,000 people has been pulled up so far.Today, this should be the last army under the banner of Nanchen in the Central Plains.As the last surviving member of Nan Chen, Chen Fu spared no effort to preserve this last fire in the darkness, and did not really raise the flag until not long ago.In Chen Fu's plan, taking advantage of the emptiness of Jiankang's defenses at the moment, if Jiankang City is captured in one fell swoop, with this old capital of Chen as the foundation, it will surely be able to respond to all calls, and the survivors of Southern Chen from all directions will come and return.

This is the ray of light in the dark night and their only chance.However, it is Yang Su, king of Yue in the Sui Dynasty, who guards Jiankang now.As the founding hero of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Su would not take it lightly. Chen Fu's team of more than 10,000 people was approaching Jiankang, and Yang Su must have already got the news.In Chen Fu's plan, a small group of troops was used to lure the enemy, and most of them set up an ambush. When the heavy troops in the city attacked, they would snipe the enemy's main force here, and then captured Jiankang City in one fell swoop.This is a very detailed and feasible plan, but now that the soldiers have arrived at Jiankang City, and the ambush has been set up for two days, the expected Sui soldiers are still missing.

Does Yang Su have a false name?Chen Fu couldn't help rubbing his fingers between his eyebrows.impossible.He clearly remembered that at the beginning, Yang Su was strong and determined, took the lead and marched southward like a broken bamboo.After more than ten years of peaceful life, it is impossible for this sharp knife to wear down its edge so quickly.However, no matter what, now is a god-sent opportunity to take down Jiankang. Once this opportunity is lost, it will be too late to regret. As he was thinking, a horse suddenly came flying from the foot of the mountain. It was an orderly.When the messenger arrived in front of Chen Fu, he was already out of breath, but still hurriedly said: "Report to Military Adviser Chen, General Chen, Prince Xu is here to report that the enemy has arrived at the gate of the camp!"

This news shocked both Chen Fu and Chen Jie.After being stunned for a moment, Chen Jie took the lead in shouting, "Impossible!" In the past few days, he has been monitoring the movement of Jiankang City. If there is an army coming out of the city, it is impossible for him not to find out.But now the fact is that the enemy army has arrived in front of their camp without anyone noticing. They originally wanted to ambush, but they were caught off guard instead.For a moment, Chen Fu felt a premonition of defeat.He looked at Chen Jie, and said in a deep voice, "Go and have a look!"

Xu Deyan, the son-in-law, is the crown prince's official.Although he ran with them, he was not a soldier after all.If the Sui soldiers were attacking now, Concubine Xu would definitely not be able to hold on.It was Chen Fu at this time, and he couldn't help feeling a little panicked. As soon as they arrived in front of the camp, Xu Deyan, the son-in-law, had already greeted them.Chen Jie didn't care to say more, and asked straight away: "Mr. Xu, where is the enemy army?" "It's only four hundred steps away from our army." More than four hundred steps, that is just a short distance.Chen Jie was stunned, and said, "Impossible! Could Yang Su's army be invisible?"

Xu Deyan looked blank, and said: "General Chen, according to the report from the scouts, the enemy has a total of..." Chen Jie was already in a hurry, and rushed to ask: "How many are there?" "There are more than twenty people in total." Chen Fu and Chen Jie were startled again.They would not be so surprised if Xu Deyan said that the enemy army had tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands.Only sent more than 20 people, could it be that Yang Su also used a trick to lure the enemy? "It must be to lure the enemy!" Chen Jie had already said.But Xu Deyan's face was still full of doubts: "But, the scout said, the leader of the enemy army is Yang Su." He paused, and then said: "There are even women and children."

This time even Chen Fu was puzzled.What exactly is Yang Su planning?If he didn't know where he was lying in ambush, and sent a small group of troops out to explore the way, and ended up meeting his own side in a narrow way, then it was indeed possible.But it is impossible for Yang Su to explore the road in person, let alone bring a woman and child out.What is he trying to do? Chen Jiedao: "Military Master, no matter what Yang Su is thinking, let someone make a surprise attack!" Perhaps, this straightforward approach is the best way.No matter what Yang Su's plan is, if he can be captured quickly, taking down Jiankang City can be said to be effortless.Chen Fu felt that it was difficult for him to resist the temptation of this idea, so he nodded and said, "Okay." But in his heart, there was a sudden uneasiness.

Did Yang Su know about that?That's why he came here? Seeing that the horse in front stopped, Duke Yang Su also reined in the horse, and said in a deep voice, "Tuo'er, what's the matter?" Sitting on the horse in front of him was a young man wearing a hooded cloak with a childish face.Hearing Yang Su's question, the boy turned his head and said, "Master, there is a murderous look ahead." It must be Chen Fu.Yang Su thought to himself.For this enemy, Yang Su actually respected more than hated him.After more than ten years of subjugation, they are still indomitable and never return. How many people are there in the world who are so fair?In all fairness, Chen Fu has both civil and military skills, and he is indeed a prime minister, but Yang Su also knows that this person is absolutely impossible for the Sui Dynasty to use.If you can't use it, kill it.He remembered what his elder brother Yang Jian said. Brother Jiye, the best respect for you is to hang your head on the top of Jiankang City.Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on his face, he turned his head and said to a woman behind him: "Princess, I hope that brother Ling can escape this calamity." This woman is beautiful, although Yang Su is very polite to her, but there is always a trace of sadness in her expression.Raising her head and looking ahead, she whispered: "Thank you, Lord." Even though she said that, there was no sense of gratitude in her tone, as if she had put everything aside. In the woods ahead, there was a sudden thunderous sound of horseshoes.Yang Su regained his energy, stopped talking to the woman, and shouted to the boy: "Tuo'er, here we come!" The young man had already rode forward, and suddenly pulled off his cloak, and shouted loudly: "I am Yang Tuo of the Great Sui Dynasty, is it Nan Chen Yu Nie who came here?" Pulling off the cloak, he found that the young man was carrying a huge bag on his back. Although he is taller than his peers, as an eleven or twelve-year-old boy, this four-foot sword is almost as tall as his body. I am afraid that the sword can only be carried on the shoulder. It was Chen Jie's personal cavalry who came.Seeing that Yang Su was right in front of him, Chen Jie was still willing to give up. He pointed his big gun and shouted, "Yang Su, where are you going!" , all of them are excellent in riding skills, although the charge is like a storm, the formation is not chaotic.Seeing that the young man was about to be knocked down by this group of cavalry, the horses rushing forward suddenly hissed miserably, and all the riders fell to the ground. Is it witchcraft?The rider behind was blocked in this way, and could no longer rush up.Seeing this situation, Chen Jie was so angry that his canthus cracked, and he shouted: "Da Chen's good man, charge with me!" As soon as he urged the war horse, he rushed forward with all the generals. Finding that Yang Su only brought so many people to fight, Chen Fu was always worried, and when he saw the young man go out, his heart sank.When the boy tore off his cloak to reveal the great sword behind his back, his heart sank to the bottom of the valley. It's over, it's over.Chen Fu only felt that his heart was frozen. It was the despair after knowing that all his efforts were in vain. Only now did he understand why Yang Su didn't use heavy troops. Yang Su really came here for the young master!He has never been afraid, even when the Sui soldiers swarmed across the river more than ten years ago, even after these years of struggling in the grassland, he has never had such a panic.The young master is already the last clan of the Chen Dynasty. If the young master hadn't participated in this battle, even if he had escaped, he would never have found such a banner again.When he raised his head, his lips had lost their color in an instant. "Military division, that is..." Xu Deyan's voice suddenly sounded.Chen Fu turned his head to look, but saw Xu Deyan's face was ashen, with a look of horror in his eyes.He said, "What's wrong?" "It's the princess!" Xu Deyan hesitated to speak as if he had swallowed something hard to swallow. Chen Fu didn't recover for a while, but immediately said: "Among the women brought by Yang Su, there is a Is it the princess?" Xu Deyan nodded.The princess he was talking about was Princess Lechang, Empress Chen's younger sister, who was also his wife.On the day of the fall of the Chen Kingdom, Xu Deyan was separated from his wife and had been inquiring about her whereabouts, but he did not expect to find her by Yang Su's side. No wonder he was so desperate. Yang Su will not do unnecessary things.The fact that he brought the princess could only explain one thing... as if he had found a little light in the darkness, although it was extremely faint, Chen Fu still secretly called it a fluke.He whispered to Xu Deyan: "My son-in-law, we can't keep this place anymore, Yang Su wants the young master. You take the young master and flee south immediately, and the young master and I will come later." Xu Deyan said: "But if Yang Su can't find the young master, he will definitely chase after her, what should I do?" Chen Fu murmured: "Tan Gongce, Li Daitao is stiff." Tan Gongce is the official name of "Thirty-Six Strategies". It is said that it was passed down by Tan Daoji, a famous general in Liu Song Dynasty. Li Daitao is one of the strategies. "Peaches grow out of the well, and plum trees grow beside them. Insects come to gnaw the peach roots, and plum trees replace the peaches." This plan comes from a Yuefu poem. Xu Deyan is familiar with poetry and books, so he naturally understands it.He said in surprise: "Military division, you want to..." Chen Fu said: "Go quickly! Otherwise, it will be too late!" At this time, the boy had drawn out his big sword.This sword was wider than his face, and it was extremely heavy. The young man could only lift it with both hands, and when he lifted it, his whole body was covered.When the big sword was raised, the sky darkened suddenly, and the sky was filled with dark clouds in an instant, and the strong wind also came suddenly, roaring wildly, as if the world had changed in the blink of an eye. The young man was muttering something, and following his voice, strange cloud patterns appeared on the body of the big sword, constantly flowing and changing.Suddenly, he swung his sword forward. When the sword slashed, the boy's eyes radiated a strange light.When the great sword slashed, it seemed as if a rift was opened in time. The leaves and grass in front of the young man were all rolled up one after another, and even the thick trees were crunching, as if there were countless invisible giants at this moment. rush out.The Nanchen cavalry who were rushing towards him were the first to bear the brunt, and all fell off their horses. Some soldiers who were closest couldn't even sit on their saddles, so they flew up from the saddles and fell heavily to the ground. Chen Jie's horse has already rushed to a distance of more than ten steps away from the young man.In just a few moments, his long spear would surely penetrate into the young man's chest, digging out the still beating heart of the young man in an instant.However, the distance of these ten or so steps was already as far away as the sky. He felt as if his heart had been hit hard by a giant hammer. Torn into pieces. Chen Jie's iron cavalry, which has been tempered through thousands of years, was actually defeated by the young man's blow from the void.Chen Jie couldn't sit on the saddle anymore, turned over and fell down.The moment he fell down, he saw the boy's eyes shining like lightning. One is as black as lacquer, and the other is as blue as the sea.The boy's eyes are different colors, it looks so strange.But Chen Jie could no longer see anything, and the world in front of him was sinking into darkness very quickly.
