Chapter 290: It's Black Under the Light
Chen Yu felt that he was being tricked by his uncle and grandson.
Although Chen Yu was famous in Zhaodi, he was a native of the Great Liang of Wei, because he was both a ranger and a Confucian, and his friends were not only heroes like Zhang Er, but also Confucianism like Kong Kun......
Kong Kun's hometown is in Lu, but he has lived in Wei for a long time. When the Wei State was still alive, Chen Yu was a frequent visitor to Kong Kun's house, and often discussed teaching together, although the friendship was not as good as that with Zhang Er, but it was also regarded as a mentor and a helpful friend.
When the Wei State fell, Chen Yu went to Yangwu County, tried to pick up Zhang Er's wife and children but failed, tried to rob people and was annihilated by Heifu's design, and was immediately pursued by the Qin army everywhere, and could only flee east in a hurry. He couldn't find Zhang Er's whereabouts for a while, and Zhao Di's home didn't dare to go back, so he ran to Ludi Kong's house to defect.
It was during the remaining months of living in Ludi that he met Kong Kun's disciple, Shusun Tong.
Although Shusun Tong was young, he was talented, intelligent, proficient in Confucianism, and spoke decently, and soon got along with Chen Yu, and the two talked happily.
However, Chen Yu did not stay in Ludi for a long time, he inquired about Zhang Er's whereabouts and went to join him.
When the two were worried about where to go in the future, the Qin State attacked Chu for the first time, Li Xin went deep into the situation, but was defeated by Xiang Yan, and Changping Jun also rebelled against Qin and returned to Chu......
Hearing this, the two of them disappeared with sad faces, hugged each other and laughed, and were ecstatic!
This is not only the victory of the Chu State, but also the biggest victory of the Six Kingdoms over Qin in more than thirty years! Seven lieutenants, seventy thousand! The loss of the Qin State was so great that the people who returned to the country everywhere rejoiced. They regarded this battle as a flip board for the Battle of Handan, and compared Changping Jun's righteousness with Xinlingjun's stealing talisman to save Zhao.
As a result, in the next year, Chen County became the base camp of the anti-Qin forces, and the Hans, Zhao, Wei, and even Yan people all gathered here, and Zhang Er Chen Yu was no exception.
But what everyone didn't expect was that the King of Qin, who was sung by them as a poor husband and a wise uncle, organized 600,000 people to attack again in just one year, and was commanded by Wang Qian, who had great military achievements, without giving Chu the slightest chance......
When Xiang Yan was defeated and retreated, Chen County was also captured by the Qin army, and people from all over the city fled in a hurry.
Zhang Er said: "Xiang Yan has been defeated, the state of Chu will die, Pei, Si, Lu, and Xue are all Qin lands, the state of Qi is closed and does not accept us, and Liaodong is far away, where else can you and I go?" ”
Chen Yu was anxious: "Although my brother's words are reasonable, I can't stay here, Chen is an important town in the north of Huai, and the Qin army must be garrisoned with a large army, which is too dangerous." ”
Zhang Er is worthy of being a county hero, although he has enjoyed many years of wealth and wealth, his body is a little blessed, and his ambition is a little lost. But since being attacked by the Qin army, losing his territory, losing his guests, and losing his wife and children, he has returned to the days of licking blood on the knife edge, and has become more and more bold and shrewd.
Regarding Chen Yu's worries, Zhang Er smiled slightly, and moved the anointing oil lamp lit in the small lamp on the desk to Chen Yu for him to see.
"See what?" Chen Yu didn't understand.
Zhang Er said: "This lamp is lit and illuminates the room for several feet. ”
He pointed to the lamp again: "But, look at the size between the lights!" ”
Chen Yu took a look, indeed, although the flames shook on the wick and illuminated them, because they were blocked by the lamp itself, under the lamp, a small dark area was created......
"Under the light, there is also darkness. What's more, the Qin people have newly acquired the Chen land, and they can't move the Qin State over immediately, so it is better to stay here than to go into exile in the wilderness. Not only is it safer, but I am well connected, and there are many people who have benefited from me who can use it. Once the situation changes, it is also convenient to act as the thoroughfare of Chen County! ”
So, Zhang Er and Chen Yu hid in Chen County and lived in the middle of the market. Sure enough, as they expected, the tens of thousands of people in the city, plus the people who fled in the war, added up to nearly 100,000 people, and the Qin people had no way to check it at all, so they could only ask each Lilu to report the origin and name of the resident population and distribute new tests and biography to them.
Zhang Er Chen Yu has been coming to Chen County for a long time, and he speaks the local dialect very fluently, so he pretended to be a native of nearby Yangxia County, fled here, and got the "Good Citizen Certificate" distributed by the Qin garrison.
Zhang Er shaved his long beard under his chin and pretended to be his brother and did the work of a peddler, while Chen Yu grew a beard and pretended to be a younger brother to cover up his identity as a Confucian student.
At that time, the two of them still had a hint of Xiang Yan's expectation of creating another miracle, but it backfired, and last month, the news came that Xiang Yan was killed in battle, Shouchun fell, and the king of Chu was also captured......
The two didn't know that Changping Jun had succeeded to the throne, and they only thought that the state of Chu had completely died.
But at this time, there was another opportunity in front of them: King Qin had come to Chen County!
Zhang Er Chen Yu didn't have much idea at first, but a Korean who was also hiding in Chen County found them and made a suggestion:
"Qin south and the five countries, although it is the victory of its sixth, the accumulation of momentum for a long time, but still inseparable from the Qin Wangzheng is quite ambitious, want to do the world, with a greedy heart, the wisdom of self-exertion, send strategists and good generals such as waving arms, send hundreds of thousands of troops such as to go hunting. Therefore, within seven years, the five kingdoms have been destroyed, which has never been done for thousands of years, and the government is also a king who has never been seen in a hundred years. ”
"Therefore, if you want to prevent the annexation of Qin and restore the five kingdoms, it is no longer a matter of confrontation between the two armies, you should follow the example of Prince Yan Dan and kill the king of Qin with an assassin, I heard that the eldest son of the king of Qin is also underage, if the king of Qin dies, then the lord Shaoguo is suspicious, and the annexation can be delayed a little."
That Han Ke said, and bowed to Zhang Er and Chen Yuchang: "The reason why Liang left Xinzheng and dismissed three hundred servants, and his brother died without burying him, why not?" Destroy the family and relieve the difficulties, and I am willing to ask the warrior to assassinate the King of Qin! Not only do I want to avenge South Korea, but I also want to win back a little hope for the recovery of people from all over the world! May Zhang Xia and Chen Jun conspire with me to do great things! ”
……
Thinking back to this, Chen Yu only felt a chill down his spine, that Korean Zhang Liang acted quite carefully, and every step was planned properly.
The three of them worked together: Zhang Liang was responsible for the money; Zhang Er is responsible for using his ranger connections to find strong men who are powerful and courageous, and have enmity with Qin; Chen Yu was arranged to find out the whereabouts and garrison of King Qin, and see if he could find an opportunity.
When he was struggling to know where to start, yesterday, at the north gate of Chen County, he met his uncle and grandson who hurriedly entered the city......
Chen Yu couldn't help but be overjoyed when he learned that his uncle Sun Tong was going to see King Qin, of course he wouldn't let this Lu Ru do the assassination, but just asked him to help find out the truth around King Qin.
Shusun Tong also agreed at that time, but after Chen Yu proudly informed Zhang Liang and Zhang Er of the matter, Zhang Liang immediately got up and asked him.
"Then Uncle Sun Tong, how did Chen Jun meet?"
Chen Yu honestly told them about their acquaintance, and Zhang Liang was even more furious: "As the saying goes, if a few things are not secret, they will be harmed, and it is a gentleman who is cautious and does not come out, and the matter of assassinating Qin is confidential, but Chen Jun told a person who has known each other for more than a month, and the matter is afraid that it will be leaked, and Shu Liang can no longer accompany him, so he will leave!" ”
After that, Zhang Liang unilaterally interrupted the cooperation with the two, and disappeared, Chen Yu scolded Zhang Liang for being timid, but he was also a little worried about his uncle and grandson.
When Zhang Er arranged for his subordinates to see his uncle Sun Tong swaggering in and out of the Chen County Palace with King Qin's car, wearing the crown of a doctor, and bidding farewell to a Qin official, Chen Yu only thought that this guy had betrayed the revolution, so he lurked in his residence and had the current scene......
Chen Yu approached the short sword to Shusun Tong's neck: "Your master would rather be in prison than answer the call of King Qin, you are good, it has only been a day, and you have put on the clothes of King Qin's doctor, and swaggered through the market, what a deception!" Did you also confess us and exchange wealth with King Qin! My bounty is worth five hundred taels of gold! ”
"If I were like this, the Qin soldiers would have already broken into the door with me."
Shusun Tong explained: "When King Qin was sacrificing, inside and outside the temple, thousands of people surrounded the CRRC Fuwei and Langwei, and another 1,000 people guarded the street. When I entered, I was searched three times, two of which almost stripped me naked. ”
"And then the King of Qin went to the palace, and there were more than 1,000 people escorting him before and after, and each Lang Wei and Qin pawn searched in advance in each street and alley that King Qin passed, especially the pavilions facing the street, all of them were emptied......
"The garrison is so tight, Chen Jun, you and the others have no chance to do anything."
Although Chen Yu didn't say it directly, how could Shusun Tong not guess what they wanted to do?
So he gently pushed Chen Yu's sword away, and sighed: "King Qin is well defended, there is no gap, Chen Jun, if you want me to say, this time, forget it." At this time, it is just a moth to fight the fire, it is better to keep a useful body and wait for the times to change. “
Chen Yu was silent for a while, but then grabbed him and reprimanded: "You have already surrendered to Qin, of course you will say so!" ”
Uncle Sun Tong became serious: "Although my uncle Sun Tong was scolded for being kind and honest, shameless, and disloyal. But it only guards the five constants of Confucianism, which are benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith. I thought that in this turbulent season, these five things are more important than the so-called loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, so since I promised Chen Jun, I will never do anything to regret and betray! ”
Chen Yu was silent when he heard this, wasn't it precisely because of this that he trusted Shusun Tong and asked him to help him find out the truth of King Qin's garrison?
Uncle Sun Tong made persistent efforts: "Moreover, I have courted the King of Qin today, and I have been recruited as a doctor by the King of Qin, if I should not, my head will be hanging in the city tower at this moment......"
"But because of this, I can go to Xianyang, be a doctor of waiting, and do internal response for Chen Jun and others. The King of Qin is so happy, and now that he has captured Mount Tai, maybe there will be a move to seal Zen in the future, and he will definitely summon the doctors to accompany him, and I will also be in the meantime, or I may be able to report to you and help Zhang Xia and Chen Jun succeed......"
Speaking of this, Chen Yu had no murderous intent, he hurriedly pulled his uncle and grandson up, and apologized: "Chen Yu was stupid, I almost misunderstood Mr.!" ”
What he didn't know was that Shusun Tong would not put his eggs in one basket, and the King of Qin would have to curry favor with him, and the anti-Qin Yishi would not tear his face and seal the road......
Uncle Sun Tong pulled the placket of his clothes and said with a smile: "It's okay, besides, on today's trip, although I found that there was no chance to assassinate Qin, I didn't get nothing......
"I remember that after the death of Wei, Chen Jun went to vote for my master, saying that when he was in Wei, Zhang Daxia's wife was killed by a Qin official, and he also killed Wei Wushu Zhou City and hundreds of righteous people with treacherous tricks, so what is the name of the Qin official?"
"His name is Hef!"
Chen Yu gritted his teeth, that was the biggest shame in his life, since that incident, he always felt indebted to his brother Zhang Er, and he was also sorry for Zhou Shi and the dead rangers and Wei Shi.
"Yes!"
Uncle Sun Tong slapped his hands and said with a smile: "I went to see King Qin today, and I happened to meet that black man!" He's also in Chen County! ”
