Chen Xian was the general who got the news last. He was stunned when he received the news, and he was hit harder than any other official or general.

He used to be just a small military officer, but it was Liu Yu who promoted him to become a military leader who can command thousands of people in one fell swoop. For an army commander, further up is the temporary establishment of a superintendent.

Therefore, Chen Xian was very grateful to Liu Yu, but this person who was kind to him passed away suddenly, which showed that he had lost his backer, and he still hoped to do something under Liu Yu, at least first. Let's keep this Chengdu city safe, I didn't expect...

Chen Xian's mind went blank, what should I do?

Soon, Chen Xian regained his senses. He thought that Liu Yu's death had caused the entire city of Chengdu to lose its principal. It can be said that now the city of Chengdu has no leader. What should the city of Chengdu do?

At this time, Chen Xian instantly thought that military power is the most important thing, and only with military power can he have the right to speak. He immediately ordered the gates of the camp to be blocked, and if there was nothing left, he ordered no one to leave the camp, and no unrelated people were allowed to enter the barracks. Anyone who wants to go out or enter the camp must obtain his approval, and anyone who forcibly breaks into the camp will be killed.

Then he immediately ordered the generals in the army to be summoned to discuss matters in his big account.

"I called you here in such a hurry because I have something to inform you. The general has just received the news that Governor Liu Gong died suddenly due to illness!"

"What?" All the generals and officials were shocked, and their expressions changed.

Liu Yu's death had a huge impact, if it was normal, it would be fine, military and political affairs are temporarily replaced by adjutant officials, as long as the news is reported to the imperial court, the imperial court will soon have a new appointment, but at this time, the army outside the city is staring at it, Even if the news can be spread, it won't help, Gan Jun will soon get the news, once the news is known to Gan Jun, they are afraid that they will launch an attack on the city when the leaderless dragons in the city fall into command chaos.

General Huang Zhuang stood up and said, "General, the incident is too sudden. Once the news comes, I'm afraid the army's morale will be unstable! Moreover, Liu Shijun's death has left Chengdu without a leader. It will soon fall into chaos, if the army gets the news... the situation is worrisome!"

Everyone's faces became serious.

Chen Xian nodded: "That's right, but we're new here, and we can't control others for the time being. Let's take care of ourselves first! When such a big thing happens, our army must have a unified thinking, and there must be no internal disagreement. You can tell us what you think. !"

The generals were a little puzzled.

General Xiang Zhuang asked, "I don't know what the general is referring to?"

Chen Xian said in a deep voice: "Should we live and die with the city and leave a heroic name for a lifetime, or surrender to the army and live in the world?"

This choice is too difficult, two extremes, either a heroic death, or a shameful life!

But most of these generals don’t want to choose. They intend to stick to it as much as possible until they can’t hold on. Then they will consider surrendering. At least they have done their duty and are worthy of the salary and their conscience. No one stipulates They must die in battle. No emperor or dynasty would dare to make such a regulation on the army.

Fighting to the end and co-existing with the city are just certain generals expressing their determination and will to the outside world. Such people are indeed favored by the supreme ruler and praised by the world.

Chen Xian looked at the faces of the people, got up and walked to the middle of the big tent, he swept his eyes across the people, "My lords, in all the wars between the Song Dynasty and the Qian Kingdom, I have never won a single battle, so that until now , Our soldiers will be afraid when they see the Gan army, and they will collapse as soon as they fight, our soldiers will be as afraid of the Gan army as tigers!"

"Are we still an army? Could it be that we can only domineering over the people in our own land, but are cowardly in the face of the enemy? Can we only do it at home? What is the use of such an army? ?”

People are ashamed!

Chen Xian continued: "I'm 39 this year, and I don't have much time to waste. Among you, there are those who are older than me, even if they are younger than me, if we don't do anything, we will It will only be like this for the rest of my life!"

"If we surrender to the Qian army today, how will we face them when our sons and grandsons ask us why we surrendered to the enemy as the generals of the Song Dynasty? Don't we have any blood in our bones? Don't we Is it only worthy to be the defeated forever? I am not from Shu, you are all from Shu, I don’t understand, is there not a warrior who is not afraid of death among the Shu people?”

"As long as the Shu people are not dead, we must not let the Qianjun run rampant on our land, otherwise we will be sorry for future generations, and we are sinners! We can't let the Qianjun look down upon us. We, we want them to know that this is not a place where they can come and do whatever they want!"

Everyone's faces were flushed by Zhao Junsheng's words. General Huang Zhuang clasped his fists and said loudly: "The general has lived in a daze for more than thirty years, and now he wakes up after listening to the general's words. The general is willing to stick to the end with the general. With the tone in hand, the Qianjun will never even think about stepping over the city wall!"

General Xiang Zhuang also blushed and clasped his fists together and said: "The last general swears to follow the general to the death and fight to the end with the dry army!"

Others also clasped their fists and shouted: "The bloody battle to the end!"

Chen Xian gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, suppressing the excitement in his heart, "Okay, as long as all our brothers work together, we will definitely be able to keep the Gan army out of the city!"

"The next thing we have to do is to prevent other officials and generals from leading troops to surrender. Now that Mr. Liu has passed away, I'm afraid those people have their own ideas. I have to go to the governor's office to find out! General Huang, you are in charge now. Scheduling in the battalion, General Xiang is responsible for leading troops to patrol the city, especially the area near the city wall. I suspect that there are secret operations of the army in the city. We must block the news now. Once we find suspicious people during the city patrol, we will arrest them immediately! If someone tries to Secretly open the city gate and surrender, and I will take it too, no matter who he is, if he dares to resist, he will be shot to death!"

Huang and Xiang immediately clasped their fists together and agreed: "No!"

After the meeting, all the generals left one after another to perform their duties. Chen Xian left the barracks with his own soldiers and quickly rushed to the Governor's Mansion.

"General Chen, the leader of Qianwei's army, has arrived—"

Following a loud announcement from a guard at the door, Chen Xian walked in with two personal soldiers.

The officials and generals who were quarreling in the lobby stopped one after another, and all of them looked at Chen Xian.

Chen Xian clasped his fists to everyone, came to the coffin with a sad expression and knelt down in front of the coffin.

There are also rules for offering sacrifices. The younger generation pays homage to the elders and must kneel down to worship the elders. Of course, the children of the family members do not need to return the gift. Although the same generation pays homage to the same generation, we generally pay attention to the dead, so we also have to kneel down to worship the elders. Children kneel down to return the gift; elders pay homage to the younger generation without kneeling and saluting, just offering incense and bowing.

All the officials, generals and schools in the city sent away their families and children, but Liu Yu kept his family and children. This is also his determination to show all officials and generals that he will stick to the end.

Liu Yu's family members and children bowed to Chen Xian in return.

Chen Xian got up and walked to Liu Yu's family members and children, comforting them in a low voice, asking them to express their condolences.

Bo Wang Fu Wenqing Chen Xian, who was in charge of the funeral, went to the side to serve tea.

Chen Xian walked among the officials and generals and clasped his fists and said, "I'm sorry, everyone, it's too late! The general heard the news like five thunderbolts, so that you are fine in the morning, why is it so late in the evening..."

Ma Zhongliang, who was in charge of governance, wiped away his tears, "It's all my fault. If I hadn't told the envoy the news that most of the officials in the city had escaped disguised as civilians, the envoy would not have been so angry..."

Chen Xian was furious: "This gang of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, the imperial court raising them is like raising a bunch of white-eyed wolves!"

Do not drive Yang Ling and sighed: "The matter has come to this point, it is useless to say these things! The most urgent thing is that we still need to discuss a feasible strategy, whether we should continue to stick to it, now that the emperor has passed away, we have lost our backbone, military and political affairs No one is in charge, and there is no authoritative person to coordinate the overall command of the defense of the city, I am afraid it will not be able to stop the attack of the army!"

Chen Xian heard that Yang Ling meant that his will to persevere had been shaken, and he had a very bad feeling in his heart.

Joining the army, Han Li stood up and said, "My lords, once the news of the death of the envoy is known to the army, I am afraid that the army will launch a fierce attack when there is no one in the city to take charge of the overall situation! Therefore, I think we should block the death of the envoy now." The news, this news can only be known to the officials in the city and the leading generals, and cannot be passed on to the low-level officials and soldiers who are exempted. On the one hand, it may cause the morale of the soldiers to be low; There will be big trouble!"

"I agree, but this matter needs to be discussed with the envoy's family and heirs, and their consent must be sought, and we will keep it secret for the time being!"

Everyone immediately found Bo Wang Fuwen, who supported the funeral, and asked Wang Fuwen to talk to the family members.

Wang Fuwen talked all kinds of things, and finally persuaded Liu Yu's family members to agree to keep the funeral secret for the time being, conceal the news, and wait for the war to pass before burying him.

As for what to do next, the officials and the generals discussed together, but everyone said something, but everyone didn't make it clear whether they wanted to stick to it or surrender, they just wanted to know the attitude of others.

At this time, everyone knew that they should not express their opinions lightly. This matter involved life and death.

The dozen or so officials and generals present were suspicious of each other at this time, and they all wanted to find out the attitudes of other people. No matter what their own attitudes were, they all wanted to find someone they could ally with. Only by finding someone who could ally them could they be safer. Some, if they express their views hastily, they may be the ghosts of opponents!

Chapter 999

The officials and generals discussed in the governor's mansion until midnight, but there was no result. Everyone talked a lot, but nothing worked. In the end, everyone broke up unhappy.

When Chen Xian returned to the barracks, he was already ugly, and General Huang Zhuang came out to greet him, clasped his fists and said, "General, how is the situation?"

With a heavy heart, Chen Xian shook his head, "I'm not very optimistic. Those officials and generals are too deep in the city, and no one knows what they think in their hearts. At this time, no one dares to express their thoughts easily. Some Some people want to surrender, but they dare not say it. Without military power in their hands, they have no right to speak. Once they say it, they are worried that they will become the target of public criticism!"

General Huang Zhuang was a little worried, "What should we do? If the senior officials in the city have been in this situation of mutual suspicion, it is not good for us! The Gan army has not attacked the city until now. I guess it is mainly because of their siege. There are not many infantry, and the siege equipment is still being built. Once they have prepared the siege equipment and gathered enough troops, they will attack the city sooner or later, and the reinforcements from the court do not know when they will arrive. This place is likely to become an isolated city!"

Chen Xian frowned, thought for a while and said, "There is no need to rush this matter. Let's wait a little longer. The common people have all left the city today. This is a pressure on us defenders and the officials and other generals in the Governor's Mansion." They are all very big, and I can’t see them today. In two days, some people will definitely lose their temper. Whether it is a war or a surrender, sooner or later someone will take the initiative to express their position! What we have to do now are two things. First, Strictly seal the news; second, train soldiers, although we only recruited more than a thousand people this time, as long as we train more than a thousand people, they can be of great use!"
