240.Chapter 240
Xu Huang was in the dust all the way, with a tired look on his face.
When he heard Chen Xu's question, he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on the ground, saying, "The last general led more than 100 people to go deep into the outside of the fortress, but he has not been able to find out the exact news of General Zhao and them. ”
After speaking, Xu Huang gasped violently.
Seeing Xu Huang's haggard appearance, although Chen Xu felt a little disappointed that he didn't hear from Zhao Yun and them. But he still helped him up and said, "Gongming is in armor, don't salute, get up quickly." ”
Feeling the lord's concern for him, Xu Huang felt a little moved in his heart.
He calmed down and said, "My lord, although I didn't inquire about the details of the situation, I did hear some rumors. ”
When Chen Xu heard this, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Gongming is coming quickly." ”
Glancing at Chen Gong and Tian Feng next to him, Xu Huang hesitated, but after all, he didn't say it in public. He put his mouth next to Chen Xu's ear and muttered a few words softly.
When Chen Xu heard this, his face changed first, and then he suddenly said loudly: "Impossible, this is impossible!" ”
Chen Gong and Tian Feng were both Chen Xu's henchmen, and when they saw Xu Huang talking, they had to avoid them, and they were a little unhappy in their hearts. Seeing Chen Xu so out of shape, they hurriedly asked, "Lord, what happened?" ”
It wasn't until this time that Chen Xu came back to his senses, he tried his best to hide the anger in his heart, and pretended to say casually: "It's okay!" ”
After speaking, he didn't speak, and directly pulled Xu Huang out of the door. At this point, Xu Huang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He also knew that it was indeed a little bad to avoid Chen Gong and Tian Feng to report to Chen Xu.
But now seeing Chen Xu's appearance, he knew that he had made the right bet. After all, some of the rumors he heard were too shocking. Therefore, Xu Huang had to make it mysterious.
Chen Xu directly took Xu Huang into his house. Then he asked the guards to hold the door of the house, in the house, and had a secret conversation with Xu Huang.
After talking for a stick of incense, Chen Xu sent Xu Huang out.
Xu Huang went to Saiwai and worked hard. Chen Xu has high hopes for Xu Huang. After all, there are 20,000 cavalry, 20,000 foot soldiers, and Chen Xu's two confidants and generals, a military advisor and a clan brother.
If they were all lost outside the plug, the blow to Chen Xu would be extremely huge.
didn't hear the exact news, Xu Huang felt a little guilty in his heart. But, fortunately, he heard some rumors. Now that he had reported all of this to Chen Xu, Xu Huang felt that he had let go of his burden.
Now, Xu Huang only felt that his eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. He just wanted to take a hot shower and get a good night's sleep.
Inside the house, Chen Xu first stood in place and was stunned for a long time. Then, as if remembering something, his face suddenly became hideous. Chen Xu suddenly grabbed the table next to him and smashed it to the ground.
"Bang!"
Chen Xu attacked angrily, and the table was suddenly torn apart by him.
The guards outside the door heard the noise in the house and hurriedly pushed the door in. When they saw the hideous look on Chen Xu's face, which had never appeared before, they were all shocked.
"How can you do that!"
"How can you do that!"
Chen Xu didn't seem to see the guards who broke in, and directly kicked off all the scattered tables again.
It wasn't until there were no more complete table parts on the ground that Chen Xu stopped. He gasped for a few breaths and said to the stunned guards, "You guys clean up the house." ”
After that, he went to the backyard.
Under the big tree in the backyard, Zhang Ling and Zhao Yu took their three children, all with anxious looks on their faces.
They've heard movement in the house. The two hurriedly ran over, but after seeing Chen Xu's angry appearance, they took the child without saying a word and retreated to the backyard.
Seeing his wife and children, the furious Chen Xu stabilized his mind. It was only at this time that Zhao Yu timidly asked, "Jun, I know that General Xu has returned from outside the Saiwai." ”
"Originally, I was just a woman's family, and I shouldn't have asked about such things. But my brother led his troops to Saiwai, and I was really worried about his safety. I wonder if General Xu has brought news of his brother? ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Yu's eyes were already slightly red, and tears were rolling in his eyes.
Hearing Zhao Yu's words, Chen Xu's body suddenly stiffened. He forcibly showed a smile on his face and said, "Zilong is brave and invincible, who can stop him?" Don't worry, Zilong will be fine. ”
After speaking, Chen Xu glanced at his wife and children nostalgically, didn't speak, turned around and left.
When Chen Xu walked to the door of the backyard, he suddenly stopped. He didn't turn his head, and said in a deep voice: "If something happens to Ah Jing, Zilong, and Ah Wei, I swear that I will definitely slaughter the Hu people in the north!" ”
After speaking, Chen Xu strode and left the courtyard.
Hearing Chen Xu's words, Zhao Yu couldn't hold back any longer, and tears suddenly flowed out. Chen Jun, who was staying in her arms, also began to become sensible, and when he saw his mother crying, he hurriedly stretched out his little hand to help her wipe away the tears on her face.
Then, Chen Jun said in a milky voice: "Mother, don't cry." ”
Zhao Yu sobbed twice, reached out to wipe a handful of tears, hugged Chen Jun tightly, and said, "Grandma doesn't cry, Grandma doesn't cry!" ”
Although he said this, the tears still flowed uncontrollably.
Although Chen Xu's words were not explicitly stated, Zhao Yu already knew that her brother Zhao Yun had an accident. Not only Zhao Yun, but I am afraid that even the 40,000 troops who went to Saiwai are very likely to be wiped out.
Otherwise, Chen Xu would not have said such a thing before leaving.
Besides, there has been no news for a whole month, and everyone will know that something must be wrong with them.
Seeing Zhao Yu's appearance, Zhang Ling hurriedly hugged her daughter, came to her side, gently hugged Zhao Yu's shoulders, and remained silent.
In Jinyang City, the atmosphere during this time was extremely tense. The generals stationed in various places constantly returned to Jinyang with their troops. Among them were 1,500 camps led by Gao Shun, and 5,000 elite soldiers led by Chen Hu and Zhang Liao.
Xu Huang only rested for a day in Jinyang, and then he took people to Saiwai again to inquire about detailed information.
In addition, Chen Xu also asked Tian Feng and Chen Gong to start recruiting food, looking like they were ready to mobilize the people.
Tian Feng looked at Chen Xu's order, came to Chen Xu in a hurry, and said angrily: "You are a mess, a mess!" According to the current strength of the state, there is no ability to go on an expedition outside the Saiwai at all! ”
"If you insist on forcing the expedition, it will only collapse the entire annexed state. Our hard work for so many years will be in vain! ”
Tian Feng chopped his feet while talking. The anger on his face could not be concealed.
After Chen Xu heard Tian Feng's words, his face remained unchanged, and he just said lightly: "The 40,000 soldiers who came out of the fortress, as well as those generals, they are all sons of Bingzhou. If I don't send troops to help, my heart will not be at peace. ”
When Tian Feng heard this, his face changed, and he hurriedly asked, "Until now, you haven't told us, why did you send troops to the outside world?" Now that it's come to this, do you want to hide it? ”
Chen Gong stayed aside, just silent. After Chen Xu issued a series of orders, he guessed that the situation outside the Seychelles might change.
But in the final analysis, the cause of this incident was because of Chen Gong, which first brought nearly two million people to Bingzhou. If there is no such thing, then the entire merger state will not be overburdened and take risks.
Now Chen Gong felt a little guilty in his heart. Although his intentions were good, he did not take into account the specific situation. Not only him, but even Chen Xu, Tian Feng, and Cheng Yu, why don't they covet the 1.5 million population?
It wasn't until all these people entered the state that they knew that eating too much in one breath was likely to kill people.
Chen Xu glanced at Tian Feng and Chen Gong, and said lightly: "According to the news that Gongming heard, Zilong, Guofu, and Zhongde were more than 1,000 miles out of the fortress, and they were besieged by more than 100,000 Xianbei people in Wolf Juxu Mountain, and they were in danger. ”
Hearing Chen Xu's words, Tian Feng and Chen Gong were stunned.
"It can't be! Xianbei has long been falling apart and attacking each other, how can they raise the strength of the whole clan to besiege our army? ”
In fact, not only Tian Feng and Chen Gong, but even Xu Huang, who heard the news, also felt incredible.
Before the state army came out of the fortress, Chen Xu had already inquired very clearly, and the various tribes of Xianbei attacked each other and fought fiercely. These people are now hostile to each other, and it is simply impossible to unite.
So after Xu Huang detected this information, he thought it was just a rumor. But when he heard something else, he began to waver.
He reported the reconnaissance information to Chen Xu in detail, and Chen Xu had fully confirmed that this matter could not be fake.
Chen Xu didn't explain, but said: "I have made up my mind, send troops to rescue Zilong and them!" ”
After finishing speaking, Chen Xu threw up his sleeves and left the state governor's mansion.
Tian Feng pointed at Chen Xu's back and shouted loudly: "Even if they are all wiped out, Bingzhou will no longer be able to go to the rescue." Otherwise, the foundation of the entire state will collapse with a bang! ”
For Tian Feng's words, why didn't Chen Xu know?
But although he now has the potential to be a hero, he still can't give up the word 'affection'.
The 40,000 troops besieged in the Wolf Juxu Mountain, of which Chen Jing was his brother; Zhao Yun is his wife's brother and his confidant; Dian Wei and he fellowship in the midst of adversity, like brothers.
These three people, even if they lose one of them, Chen Xu will definitely not be able to bear it. Moreover, among the 40,000 soldiers and horses, 20,000 cavalry and 20,000 elite infantry soldiers have almost accounted for half of the strength of the entire state.
The rest of the generals, Cheng Yu is resourceful, Jiang Wu, Zhao Huang, and Tang Chen are all brave and good at fighting, and they can defend one side; As for Zhang Yang and Hu Chuquan, they are also his generals.
Chen Xu has worked hard for so many years, if he loses so many soldiers and generals at once, he will definitely not be able to bear it.
At that time, if the princes took the opportunity to plunder and annex the state again, the consequences would be unimaginable. In this case, Chen Xu might as well make a desperate gamble and go north to rescue Zhao Yun and others.
