My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?

Chapter 52 Redemption from Mrs. Han
When the sun rises in the east, the Korean flag is still flying from the top of Xicheng.

But as night fell, Da Qin's black bird landed on the top of Xicheng, indicating that the owner of this city had changed!
"Your Majesty!"

Chen He was kicked in the knee and had to kneel down in front of Ying Chengyu.

However, Ying Chengyu raised his hand to stop the sergeant, supported Chen He with both hands, and ordered in a deep voice:
"Xian County Lieutenant Chen still defends the county government office in a desperate situation. I appreciate it very much and should not treat him harshly!"

The soldier immediately raised his hand: "Wei!"

Chen He laughed at himself: "He led an entire army of ten thousand to defend the city, but it failed to stop the Qin army from attacking the city in one day."

"How can such a crime be appreciated?"

Ying Chengyu smiled: "This is the first time that this general has used such a fire attack. No matter how talented Chen County Lieutenant is, how can he deal with something he has never seen before."

"It's not a crime of war."

Chen He asked directly: "Can you tell me what the fire is? So that I can be convinced of my defeat!"

Ying Chengyu shook his head: "This is a secret of the Qin Dynasty."

Chen He felt a little regretful that he could not untie his heart knot, so he forced himself to speak calmly: "It's okay."

"Then please general, please give me a happy life!"

Ying Chengyu looked at the eighth husband: "Everyone, please step back. It is forbidden to move within a radius of twenty feet!"

Bafu followed the order and quickly led his troops to create an isolation area.

And Ying Chengyu drew out the Qin sword and cut off the rope that bound Chen He.

Chen He rubbed his sore wrist and smiled: "General, there is no need to waste any more time."

"I will not surrender to Qin."

Ying Chengxuan spoke in a calm voice: "In the 20th year of King Huan Hui's reign, he led [-] troops to defend the Qin Dynasty in Xingyang. He won the battle and was promoted to General Pi. He led [-] troops to guard the border."

"In the 22nd year of King Huan Hui, the troops and horses were captured by Zhang Xun. He was not angry and reported this to the king. He was not happy with the king and dismissed all official positions."

"In the 29th year of King Huan Hui, the Qin Dynasty marched on a large scale. King Huan Hui hurriedly worshiped him as deputy general and went with the army. He obeyed the order and guarded Xicheng without losing it."

"However, the Korean army was severely defeated and lost thirteen cities. Therefore, the battle was ineffective and guilty, so he was demoted to Xicheng County Lieutenant."

Ying Chengyu asked seriously: "Is it worth dying for Han?"

Ying Chengyu did not say Chen He's name, but Chen He knew that what Ying Chengyu was reciting was his resume.

Looking back on his life, Chen He had mixed emotions.

If he had not written so bluntly to King Han to denounce Zhang Xun, perhaps his life would have taken a different trajectory.

But that was the military position he received due to his meritorious service, and the soldiers and horses he trained with his own hands. Why couldn't he even defend himself after being picked off without any reason?
Without waiting for Chen He's answer, Ying Chengyu took out a roll of bamboo slips from his sleeve, opened it, presented it in front of Chen He, and spoke warmly:
"This is my mother's handwriting."

"Please also ask Chen County Lieutenant to read it."

After Chen He glanced at it, his pupils suddenly condensed and he shouted angrily: "I have no enmity or grudge against you."

"Why do you want to assassinate me like this?"

On the bamboo slips, it was clearly written that since the death of King Zhuang Xiang and the death of the Queen Mother Xia, Mrs. Han and Ying Chengyu, orphans and widowed mothers, were in danger. They hoped that Chen He could go to Daqin to help mother and son establish themselves.

This is a proper letter of surrender!

If Chen He defended the city for several months and then the city fell, this letter would have no meaning.

But the problem is that Xicheng collapsed before it could last even one day!

If Ying Chengyu sends this letter to Han Wangan again, it will be difficult for Han Wangan not to doubt whether Chen He had already intended to surrender, so he did not resist the Qin army's attack on the city!
Ying Chengyu looked at Chen He sincerely: "If Chen County Lieutenant is willing to surrender to Da Qin, my mother's handwritten letter will be handed over to Chen County Lieutenant."

"If Lieutenant Chen refuses to surrender, this handwritten letter will be burned by fire, and no one in the world will know about it except my general, my mother, and Lieutenant Chen."

Chen He was stunned: "You... Madam, do you want to protect my reputation?" Ying Chengyu nodded: "Of course."

Chen He became an official during the period of King Huanhui of Han Dynasty, and Mrs. Han was the daughter of King Huanhui of Han Dynasty.

Chen He surrendered to the Qin Dynasty in order to help the daughter of his old master. Although his reputation was still flawed, he also gained a little bit of righteousness, which would be refuted in the future.

This will be of great benefit to Chen He's future.

At the same time, this is also good for Ying Chengyu.

Chen He surrendered. It was Da Qin who surrendered, not Ying Chenglong!
Moreover, Chen He is likely to have a rift with Ying Chengyu.

But if Chen He is willing to accept this kindness, then Chen He will be tied to Mrs. Han's chariot.

Mrs. Han only has one son, Ying Chengyu, so being loyal to Mrs. Han means being loyal to Ying Chengyu!
As for Mrs. Han herself, no one can criticize this behavior.

What happened when an orphan and a widowed mother, surrounded by powerful enemies, asked for help from the talents of their mother country?
After the daughter of King Zhaoxiang of Qin married King Kaolie of Chu, he invited a large number of talents from Da Qin to Chu to help him.

After Queen Mother Huayang married King Qin Xiaowen, she also invited Xiong Qi and other talents from Chu State to help.

Moreover, Mrs. Han still sent a letter asking for help to the defeated general, which not only did not harm the interests of the mother country, but also saved the life of an official of the mother country.

Instead of being criticized, this kind of behavior will be praised by others.

Who wouldn't want to encounter such a salvation that can save both life and reputation when they are defeated?
Chen He murmured in disbelief: "I thought..."

Before Chen He could finish speaking, Ying Chengxuan smiled and shook his head: "I just admire County Captain Chen, but I have no intention of harming your family, let alone insulting my mother's reputation."

Chen He was shaken, but the key issue had not yet been resolved. Chen He said in a low voice: "A certain family member is still in Wancheng."

Ying Chengyu responded immediately: "Our army's next target is Wancheng!"

The still warm northern city wall gave Chen He confidence. Chen He knelt down on one knee and suddenly handed over his hand:
"The defeated officer Chen He, pays homage to the young master!"

Just by listening to Chen He's title, you can understand that Chen He finally chose the path Ying Chengyu gave him and joined Mrs. Han.

Ying Chengyu hurriedly helped Chen He up: "There is no need for this."

"Since Lieutenant Chen County is the vassal of my mother and concubine, I will naturally call you sir."

"Wancheng is not broken yet, so it is inconvenient for you, sir, to show up more often."

"During this battle, how about you temporarily cover your face and serve as my general's staff?"

Chen He smiled relaxedly: "Thank you for your understanding, young master."

"Young Master, if you have any arrangements, you can give instructions to Chen."

Ying Chengyu said in a deep voice: "I have something I need to trouble Mr. Chen to do."

Chen He looked solemn and said: "Please give me your instructions, young master."

This is the first thing Ying Chengyu ordered, and Chen He wants to do his best to do it well!
Ying Chengqiao smiled and said: "Before the army attacked the city, I promised the soldiers that they would stay in the city tonight and have enough food and wine."

"Now we can already do this by staying overnight in the city, but if we have enough food and wine... we still need a lot of effort, sir."

Ying Chengyu thought this was not a difficult task.

Even said in a joking tone.

But Chen He looked embarrassed: "There is wine and meat in the city, but I guess it is not enough for one hundred thousand soldiers to eat and drink at will."

Ying Chengyu was a little surprised: "Today is the New Year's Eve!"

"Didn't Xicheng stock up on more wine and meat?"
