My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 83 The ancestors hold a meeting
The ancestral hall is located in the northwest corner of the south chamber, facing north, and is square in shape. There is only a large tribute table inside, and there are more than ten wooden steps leading up to it, which are used to place the tombs of emperors of various dynasties.

The four corners of the hall are supported by fir trees, with pillar foundations underneath. The entire ancestral hall is painted brown and black, making it appear solemn and solemn.

Su Chen stepped up the stone steps and came in. Dian Wei and Xun Yu went to both sides. Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Emperor Xian of Han were also there, but the Taoist priest over there couldn't see him. He lit a stick of incense and handed it to Su Chen. , he consciously went outside, and bumped into Guo Jia who was carrying a wine pot on the way. The latter approached the ancestral hall quickly, quickly put the wine pot behind the eaves column outside, and then came in leisurely.

"I sincerely tell all the ancestors of China that the descendants of future generations will break through the imperial court and return with hundreds of thousands."

Here, Su Chen held up the incense, knelt down respectfully on the futon and kowtowed three times. Then he stood up and inserted the incense into the incense burner. When he returned to his original position, a statue of a saint above him was in the curling green smoke. He gradually came to life and heard a sound. .

"The beating stinks." The first words came from Tang Taizong's spiritual throne.

"It's good to win the first war. Don't be too strict with your requirements." Zhu Yuanzhang moved his spiritual throne forward: "Tell me about the news about this little Yan Kingdom. I like to hear it."

Su Chen didn't explain much, but took out the three letters and burned them on the spot.

After a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's tomb clattered on the top, and loud laughter erupted: "Haha, I just like hearing this. It's so damn funny. A majestic emperor has brought such trouble to the family!"

"Hey, Lao Zhu." The spiritual throne of Song Taizu on the side supported him: "Isn't this similar to your grandson?"

gah...

The laughter froze, and Zhu Yuanzhang's spirit suddenly began to curse: "Fourth! You evil son, I want to slap you again!"

The newly placed spiritual tablet trembled slightly and jumped to the side to distance itself.

"Don't talk about family affairs." A voice sounded from the spiritual throne of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. "Based on my experience, at this point, the court will definitely not focus all its energy on Ding'an City. However, according to the previous method of the Emperor of Yan Kingdom, there should be other dirty methods. You should be more cautious if you are not allowed to recuperate."

"Your majesties, have you ever thought about the insidious means the other party will use?" Su Chen would be stupid if he didn't ask so many smart people.

"Haha, of course I don't dare to send troops. I think he will take advantage of it." Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty added in a low voice.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty Liu Xie coughed dryly and signaled his father not to interrupt.

"How about you let me come out? I'm good at fighting in the north. If it doesn't work, I can ask the Fourth Brother to come." Zhu Yuanzhang intervened, "Fourth Brother, please say something, or else Dad will ask you where Yun Wen went. "

Facing Zhu Yuanzhang, the newly carved spiritual tablet was a little scary.Before he could speak, he was interrupted by Tang Taizong's spiritual throne: "We agreed to draw lots to choose one of the three. Last time we asked Liu Bei to come out. It was because of circumstances. We urgently needed to recruit surrender troops. Now we have to get back on track!"

When you speak to me from the spiritual place above.

Zhu Wen, the Mangshan thief who had not spoken for a long time, spoke up: "In my place, as long as I don't attack you head-on, I will do whatever it takes to delay you a few points, but I won't short-change you. Assassinations, kidnappings, attacks on your loved ones, If the general takes action, he will give you beauties, gold, silver, and titles to lower your guard..."

Temujin's spiritual position said faintly: "If you put the villain's tricks on the grassland, the eagle-like warrior will never be afraid, but you have to be careful, there is also a grassland here... I miss the endless green grass galloping as far as the eye can see... …”

"Don't mention your grassland, you barbarians. Anyone who dares to violate it will perish their country, destroy their species, and exterminate their offspring!"

"Okay, okay, let's get down to business!"

……

Outside, Thirteen walked into the south chamber and saw no one in the huge courtyard, so he knew where the third son was. When he walked to the door of the ancestral hall, he was stopped by the Taoist priest.

Thirteen knew the rules and did not break in. He just stood outside and looked inside. What he saw was that the subordinates recruited by the Third Young Master were standing on both sides as before, while the Third Young Master was kneeling on the futon, as if he had lost his soul. My son, he was speechless.

"Could it be that your soul can fly when you kneel there or something?"

While he was thinking about it, Su Chen moved in his sight, and he bowed respectfully to the spiritual throne. Then he stood up and walked out with Dian Wei, Guo Jia, Xun Yu and others.

"Third Young Master, the old lady has asked you to come over for dinner with everyone."

"Well, you ask the chef to prepare some more and put a table in the ancestral hall, and then we don't have to worry about it." After saying that, Su Chen asked Thirteen to leave first, and when they left the Crescent Gate, he stopped and looked towards Yixiang Liu Bei, who was silent, raised his hands and said, "Uncle Liu Huang, the second master and the third master, I will recruit them in a few days. I just want to raise a few new battalions of troops. The second master has an aloof temperament. Please help to persuade him when the time comes."

"Bei is very grateful to be able to see my second and third brothers. How can I help you?" Hearing this, Liu Bei finally had an expression, and Cao Cao on the side also nodded: "Immortality is faster, let Yun Chang come over first. , I guess Wenyuan also wants to meet."

Liu Bei glanced at him: "It's Mr. Cao who wants to see him, right?"

"Haha, what kind of person is Gu? Come on, Mr. Xuande, let's talk about how you fought in Hanzhong at that time." Cao Cao made an invitation and invited Liu Bei to go to the ancestral hall.

Su Chen also bowed his hands to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to say goodbye, and invited everyone to go to the atrium with him. A banquet had been prepared in the hall over there. Originally, Dian Wei was going to stand outside the door, but Su Chen pulled him inside.

"Today we are at home, not outside. There are not so many rules. In the past, you all ate separately, but here, there is no separate table. General Dian, Guo Jijiu, and Shi Xun are all here to invite you!" Dian Wei occupied the table alone. For half, plus Guo Jia and Xun Yu, as soon as Su Chen sat down, Xiao Wei was the only old woman left in the first place.

"Where is father sitting?"

"Your father is at the same table as Su Huan and the others." The old woman pointed to the other side of the hall. Su Congfang was also sitting at the front, flanked by the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law. The rest were all relatives of the family, including men and women, so it didn't seem awkward at all. .

"You are not at home. Your father's indecisiveness makes mother angry. Let him have a good time these few days." Xiao Wei whispered, then stood up, picked up the wine glass boldly, and turned around: "Although I am a woman , but I also know that you are all heroes, and the Su family’s ability to survive until now depends entirely on you, so I’d like to give you a toast!”

"Old Madam!" Guo Jia and Xun Yu stood up and responded.

Dian Wei raised the big bowl and shouted: "The old lady has a good capacity for drinking, Wei has a bowl first!"

He drank like a cow. When he raised his head, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he drank all the big bowl. After putting down the bowl, he stopped drinking. He only used chopsticks to pick up vegetables and stuff them into his mouth.

After Su Chen said a few words to the old woman, he also raised his wine glass and paid tribute to Guo Jia: "That day during the battle, Chen had not thanked the sacrificial wine. If he had not secretly arranged for General Zhang to lie down on one side and attack the central army, otherwise The outcome is unknown.”

"Now is it clear how Changsheng will use his troops in the future?"

Guo Jia has always been bold in his actions and plans. He dared to give nearly 5 people to Su Chen's command. Xun Yu on the side also broke out in a cold sweat.

At another table, Su Ting's voice was babbling, not at all like his quiet temperament before. He took his chopsticks and told Su Congfang, Su Huan, and Hong Zhen excitedly what he had seen and heard while delivering food.

"... At that time, Brother Su and I almost couldn't come back. Many cavalry from the imperial court rushed towards us. I had heard about the cavalry before, but I saw it with my own eyes that day. Even if there were hundreds of cavalry, the formation would make people's hearts tremble. "

Su Congfang glanced at her second son, Su Lie, and couldn't help but ask: "What happened next? How did you resolve the crisis?"

"They suddenly stopped in the middle of the charge. Uncle, you don't know. Those cavalrymen turned around and ran away when they heard something happened on the front line. Two thousand cavalrymen just passed by in a mighty manner."

"Later Brother Su and I arrived a few days later. There were corpses everywhere along the way. There were also many soldiers from the Ding'an Army carrying corpses, and there were also our people inside. They looked like they were dead, with heads missing. Broken arms and legs, broken stomach..."

The tragedy on the battlefield made everyone at the table frown. Just hearing the description made them feel weak, especially Su Congfang. He looked towards Su Chen. It was hard to imagine how the eighteen-year-old could maintain his composure in the face of thousands of people. Thousands of troops fighting.

vomit!
From Su Ting's description, Su Huan couldn't help covering her mouth, stood up quickly, and ran to the back hall with the help of her maid.Su Chen naturally saw it too. As a person of later generations, he was relatively sensitive and familiar with this aspect. He immediately looked at his sister-in-law's belly. At this time in March, the temperature was getting warmer, and he wore much less clothes than in winter. It was vaguely visible. to the slightly bulging lower abdomen.

Calculated, the time is still three and a half months, which is about the same as when my eldest brother left. This is indeed a bit pregnant.

Thinking that there was no problem, he continued to treat Guo Jia and Dian Wei to eat and drink.

After lunch, I returned to the south chamber and saw Xun Yu sitting under the eaves writing, so I moved up to him out of curiosity. When I saw "Ping Yan Ce", my expression was a little stunned.

"Wen Ruo said he wouldn't help, but he was soft-hearted. This is to help you write how to take down the Yan Kingdom!"

Guo Jia smiled and held the jug over, but Xun Yu glared at him, "Put the jug down and go back to your room to sleep! Not long ago, he started drinking again."

"Yes!" Guo Jia smiled, blinked at Su Chen, and staggered to the room.

Here, Xun Yu didn't explain anything. He concentrated on writing the content. From time to time, he took out some books to look for clues, and then continued writing.

Seeing that the other party's mind was focused on the content on the paper, Su Chen didn't want to disturb him. Just as he turned around and walked away for a few steps, he heard Xun Yu's words.

"...This strategy will be given to you later after I finish writing it."

"Thank you, Mr. Xun!"

No matter what, I thanked Su Chen for what he wanted to say. After leaving here, I suddenly felt a little idle and had nothing to do. I wouldn't want to unlock another emperor, right?

With this amount of merit in his hand, he still wanted to leave the four tokens given by Liu Bei. Why was he always keeping the fifth one?

While he was thinking about it, Cao Cao appeared beside him out of nowhere, sitting on the steps beside the ancestral hall, his voice was calm.

"Originally, the fifth token... I wanted to give you was from Zixiu, but I was afraid of seeing him. After all, what happened in Wancheng made me feel guilty, so I decided to change it to someone else."

"Who?"

"Those who can command the entire army and dare to fight tough battles will win at the right pace!"
