Chapter 269 Calculate the Serial Attack Heart (Second Update)

The lights in the cabin suddenly sounded, making Su Dingfang's eyes unable to adapt for a while. However, the moment he saw the cabin, he dispelled the act of resistance, and at least thirty strong bows were aimed at him with an armor-piercing cone, no matter how good his skills were, he could only accept his fate.

Su Dingfang had a faint unwillingness and helplessness on his face, and slowly dropped the broken saber in his hand.

Su Dingfang was calm, as an assassin, being discovered meant death. He sat down calmly and said lightly: "Su Dingfang has planted." ”

Originally, Chen Ying thought that the dead man was just a small character, but who would have thought that he would actually send such a big bull as Su Dingfang. Of course, at this time, Su Dingfang was only a captain of the Guards Division under Liu Heimin, with no more than six ranks, and only more than 300 people under his command, which was equivalent to a battalion-level officer.

Some people regard Su Dingfang as a late bloomer, but in fact this is not appropriate. First of all, Su Dingfang served Li Tang too late, Zhenguan followed Li Jing's northern expedition to the Eastern Turks in four years, and in the decisive night attack on Yinshan, Su Dingfang led 200 cavalry to the battle first, broke through the tent of Jieli Khan, and made great contributions to the defeat of the Eastern Turks.

In later generations, Su Dingfang also stated that it was not obvious, mainly in two aspects, the famous generals of the early Tang Dynasty were like clouds, and Su Dingfang's qualifications were too shallow, the key was that there was no one behind him. In such a great victory as Zhenguan's attack on Yinshan on the eve of the fourth Chinese New Year's Eve, in terms of merit, he only became a lieutenant and was promoted to the rank of Zuowu Marquis Zhonglang General, a level actually the level of Zhongfu Zhichong Province, with jurisdiction over four regiments, each regiment with 200 people, a total of 800 generals.

The second is Su Dingfang's expedition to the Western Turks, Pinglingling, Yi Baekje, and Goguryeo, "destroying the Three Kingdoms before and after, all of them captured their masters", and unprecedentedly expanded the territory of the Tang Dynasty to the west to the Aral Sea in Central Asia, the border reached Persia, and extended eastward to the south of the Korean Peninsula. Of course, a general like Su Dingfang, who defeated foreign enemies and broke up the territory, could not be openly proclaimed, because there was no need for it politically. Therefore, Su Dingfang has been hidden in the snow.

When Chen Ying met Su Dingfang, Su Dingfang's attitude was very calm, and he looked like he was going to die generously. In ancient times, the Tang Dynasty followed the Han system and advocated Confucianism, and the concept of "Spring and Autumn" was regarded as a guideline by most people. The most obvious example is that Spring and Autumn can't help but take revenge. Avenging one's family and avenging one's mentors and friends are all acts of righteousness that are praised by others, and will not only be supported by public opinion, but also by the government. The righteous will be appreciated not only by their peers, but also by their enemies. On the other hand, if you do something unrighteous, you will be despised.

The righteous should also ask whether they should or should not, do not distinguish between friend and foe, reckless of consequences, and do not ask about interests. It sounds like two, but at this time, the Han people are really a bit two, and it's not one person or two people, it's the mainstream of the entire society that is a bit two, regardless of whether it's an elite or an ordinary person. Why did the generals of Wagang, like Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie, Xie Yingdeng, and Niu Junda, all get a good death, Wei Zheng, Li Shiji, etc. are still extremely prominent, but Shan Xiongxin died tragically.

To put it bluntly, it is because Shan Xiongxin is too righteous, and the righteousness in his heart, regardless of the country's social affairs, only recognizes Wang Shichong alone, because Wang Shichong has sublimated Shan Xiongxin's life. The official residence is the champion general of the third grade, and Princess Shang has become the captain of the horse, such a favor, Shan Xiongxin believes that only death can be repaid.

At this time, Su Dingfang thought that it was the same, regardless of whether Li Tang Chen Ying's army was righteous or not, he was ordered by Liu Heimin to assassinate Chen Ying, and now the mission has failed, and there is only one death.

Chen Ying said: "Su Lieyi Bo Yuntian, I know, but I am only afraid that the person you are loyal to is not worth it!" ”

"Not worth it?" Su Dingfang glared at Chen Ying angrily and roared, "Hugh has to slander my general!" ”

Chen Ying smiled faintly: "If you don't go to your general, including the court you are loyal to, this general is not worth it for you!" ”

For loyal people, Chen Ying naturally knows how to convince them, as long as their faith collapses, they will change their original intentions, after Liu Heimin was defeated and killed, Su Dingfang was not willing to be loyal to the imperial court, but when he saw the Turkic cavalry looting Hebei from time to time and slaughtering countless people, this aroused Su Dingfang's anger and action.

Su Dingfang turned his head away from Chen Ying, expressing his dissatisfaction with Chen Ying in this way.

Chen Ying didn't care about Su Dingfang's attitude, and said with a faint smile: "If you don't believe it, let's make a bet?" ”

"Bet? What to bet on? Su Dingfang asked.

Chen Yingdao: "General Su, believe it or not, I will give an ultimatum to the Xia Imperial Court, and they will immediately send your family members to the account of this great general?" ”

Su Dingfang naturally didn't believe it, because in his heart, Liu Heimin was a very affectionate and righteous person.

Both the new and old "Book of Tang" record that Liu Heimin is "a scoundrel, a drinker, a good gamer, and does not buy property, and his father and brother suffer from it." "In real life, it seems to be a very bad character. He had a good relationship with Dou Jiande when he was young, probably Dou Jiande had already seen his potential, so he knew that he was a scoundrel, and continued to subsidize him. Every time Liu Heimin got money from Dou Jiande, he quickly squandered it, and Dou Jiande just laughed it off when he heard about it, and never bothered with him. But this is indeed the Spring and Autumn Period, a ruffian, how can he respond to a hundred calls, and the entire thirty-nine states of Hebei are like clouds?

Early the next morning, Chen Yingrang shot a book to Zhaozhou.

In the shooting book, Chen Ying bluntly told the Xia court that because of Su Dingfang's conspiracy to assassinate him, although it did not hurt him, it made him extremely unhappy.

In order to calm the anger in his heart, as long as all the families of the three hundred dead soldiers under Su Dingfang are sent to the Tang camp and left to his disposal, he can postpone the attack on the city of Chaozhou for three days.

……

Wanchun Palace, the imperial palace of the Xia Kingdom of Zhaozhou, handed over layer by layer after only a quarter of an hour after the book was thrown into the city of Zhaozhou, and handed it to the original hand of Nayan Song, but when Liu Heimin saw this letter, he trembled with anger.

"This is a provocation, this is a provocation!" Liu Heimin instantly understood that Chen Ying wanted to dispose of everyone's families, and he was obviously using the families of these soldiers as a threat to force Su Dingfang to surrender.

Su Dingfang talks about martial arts, and in Liu Heimin's army, he is one of the best, but in Liu Heimin's eyes, Su Dingfang is just a brave general, a rushing general, and does not have too high a status. However, he also knew that this opening could not be opened, otherwise Xia Junjun's heart would be scattered.

Song Zhengben thought about far more problems than Liu Heimin, and he said categorically: "Han Donggong, I don't know what to pay for, but at present, with the military strength of Zhaozhou, how long can I resist Chen Ying's army?" ”

"This ......"

Liu Heimin really didn't dare to say, after all, the name of the person, the shadow of the tree, who Chen Ying is, now there is no one in the world who doesn't know, and even people with a little insight can treasure Chen Ying's past achievements. It can be said that Chen Ying is one of the best generals in the Tang Dynasty at the moment, and the limelight has overshadowed Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng.

In particular, breaking the Yanmen Pass in one day and the Hangu Pass in one hour, such a record really makes people unable to raise the will to refuse to defend the city. Liu Heimin thought for a while and said: "Liu is deeply trusted by His Majesty, in order to repay His Majesty's great kindness, Liu will fight to the last soldier!" ”

"Han Donggong is loyal and good, and he is the sincerity of the country!" Song Zhengben muttered: "This official as a Zhongshu servant, on behalf of the heavens, ordered the army of the king of Qin in the world to return to aid Zhaozhou, Shenzhou (now Shenzhou City, Hebei) Governor Cui Yuanxun, Baozhou (today Baoding) Governor Gao Yaxian, Zhaozhou Governor Zhao Xidao can arrive in Zhaozhou within three days at the latest, and the people of the Handong Gongshu Department will also arrive in Zhaozhou within three days, why not take this opportunity to delay for three days?" ”

Liu Heimin is a person who knows the soldiers, and he knows that no matter what the reason is, what the reason, it is very demoralizing to take Su Dingfang and the families of the soldiers under his command to give them to the enemy. Today the imperial court can betray Su Dingfang, and tomorrow it can betray them, once the news spreads.

Chen Ying doesn't have to fight, and the morale of Zhaozhou will inevitably collapse.

The blue tendons on Liu Heimin's forehead burst out, and he roared at Song Zhengben with red eyes: "Three days is not three years, even if I take Liu's life, I will defend it for three days." ”

Dong Kangmai was also moved, and he said to Liu Heimin: "Old Liu, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, we have less than 10,000 soldiers at this time, how can we fight?" I want to hold on for three days, but Chen Ying is afraid that he won't even give us a day! ”

Liu Heimin still didn't agree. At this time, Wang Xiaohu said: "Su Dingfang's family is not in the city of Zhaozhou, otherwise take my mother-in-law to make up the number?" ”

Liu Heimin couldn't stand this.

If it is his son, or wife, Liu Heimin can really be ruthless, but the key is that this is a general's family, if Liu Heimin takes his own family to save the lives of the people in the city, the people of the city will only be grateful to him for sacrificing small righteousness and taking care of the overall situation, but now the nature is completely different.

Li Panmai, a hussar general under Liu Heimin, said: "Han Donggong, general, you can pity the soldiers and civilians of Quanzhou, who of them was not raised by their parents?" Can you really bear to watch the whole city die because of this? ”

Song Zhengben said: "Yes, you can't be righteous at this time!" ”

As he spoke, he said to Empress Cao, who was listening to the government: "There is no public opinion on the matter now, please let Empress Cao call the shots!" ”

Cao Shi is a woman's heart in the end, she looked at Song Zhengben and said, "What does Song Qing think?" ”

"Stall!" Song Zhengben, as the head of the minister, said without hesitation: "If you can take the original Xiang Shang's head, and exchange three days for Daxia for the original book, the original book should be handed over!" ”

Having said all that, Liu Heimin has no reason to refuse.

That night, one-third of the families of the dead soldiers under Su Dingfang's command were sent to Chen Ying's camp.

Su Dingfang vomited blood and fell into a coma.

In fact, once a person's faith collapses, the blow to the person will be fatal.

This is a hurdle, and Chen Ying did not force Su Dingfang to make a decision now.

However, did Song Zheng think that Chen Ying was just this means? The answer is no.

In fact, no matter what kind of decision Song Zhengben makes, it will not affect the implementation of Chen Ying's plan, because this strategy itself is a chain plan, and one ring is one ring, and they will never know that no matter what kind of decision is made, Chen Ying will maximize his interests.

At the same time that the families of these soldiers were sent to the Tang Army camp, a rumor began to spread slowly in the city of Zhaozhou.

At the same time, Xia Guo's life also fell into a countdown.
