The devil is coming

172 Marriage
All around, there were running soldiers and soldiers of the Zhenbei Army who were chasing them. Some soldiers knelt down and begged for surrender, but what was waiting for them was a merciless blow from the saber.
These are the soldiers and horses of Li Fusheng, the soldiers and horses of a madman. They have become accustomed to this merciless execution method, and Li Fusheng's red eyes are not a true reflection of their hearts.
However, Zheng Fan didn't care about these. He didn't bother to care. War is so cold-blooded and cruel. Moreover, he also knew that as an army that used blitzkrieg to cross the opponent's defense line and go straight into the hinterland, capturing prisoners was the most important thing. It's such a luxury thing that they simply don't have the energy to arrange and control it.
And tomorrow, Li Fusheng and his troops will continue to move south, and it is impossible to bring these burdens with them.
However, ordinary soldiers are ordinary soldiers, but the enemy's generals and nobles are definitely not among the burdens.
It's just that because of the special nature of this army, all of them seemed to have been infected by the general and turned into bloodthirsty lunatics, so Zheng Fan was given the opportunity to pick up the slack.
Zheng Fan reached out and pulled off the jade pendant from Zu Dongcheng's waist.
In his previous life, Zheng Fan didn't like playing with jade, and he didn't do much research on jade. However, when he woke up in this world in this life, he often encountered some such things.
Siniang is very experienced in this aspect, and she always has a few words to chat after each sewing session.
However, even Zheng Fan, a layman like jade, could see how valuable this jade pendant was.
Gee tut.
Zheng Fan got up, and just then a group of knights rushed past Zheng Fan. After they left, Zheng Fan saw a knight turning back. Who else could it be if it wasn't Liang Cheng?
Liang Cheng's body was covered in blood, but judging from its color, it was probably from someone else. This guy's blood was black.
"Lord."
"Did you have fun?"
Liang Cheng smiled implicitly.
Zheng Fan noticed that Liang Cheng's armor was damaged in many places. Apparently, he also suffered a lot of damage and danger when he rushed to break the formation with him.
However, Liang Cheng's survivability on the battlefield can still be trusted. If nothing else is mentioned, his own zombie bloodline is equivalent to a "blood lock".
"Catch a tongue for me. I think it's a big fish."
Zheng Fan pointed at Zu Dongcheng who was unconscious next to him.
"it is good."
Liang Cheng continued to ride away,
About a quarter of an hour later, Liang Cheng came back from riding. There was a soldier with a broken head and blood on the horse in front of him.
Catching a fleeing soldier now is no different from catching a wild goat in the wild. It's just that as the Zhenbei Army's pursuit area expands, you have to run a longer distance if you want to catch another live sheep.
"Pfft!"
Liang Cheng threw the soldier off his horse and fell to the ground.
"Don't kill me, please, don't kill me, don't kill me..."
This soldier was frightened to death.
Judging from his relatively young appearance, it must be his first time on the battlefield. Unfortunately, there is no step-by-step process, and he directly confronts the Zhenbei Army, and he fights against the craziest Zhenbei Army among the six towns. of a town.
"Don't be afraid, I won't kill you, tell me, who is he?"
Zheng Fan pointed at Zu Dongcheng.
The soldier raised his head and looked at Zu Dongcheng, stunned for a moment.
Obviously, he knew him, and even more obviously, he was hesitating whether to answer.
At this time, Liang Cheng's knife was placed directly on the soldier's neck, and the cold touch made him and the God of Death almost say hello against the mirror.
"He, he is General Zu."
"General Zu?"
"The Major General of the Ancestral Army."
"Zu Zhuming's son?" Zheng Fan asked.
Zheng Fan of the ancestral army knew about it, and he was also one of the troops that had been dispatched to the north.
"Tsk tsk."
Zheng Shoubei felt very happy. He was really unlucky. In his previous life, he was always blocked from opening a comic studio.
You can get credit wherever you go in this life.
This is the correct way to open life.
"The Ancestral Family Army, the military formation at the front, is it the Ancestral Family Army?" Zheng Fan asked.
"Yes, it is."
"Oh, okay, let's go."
"Ah?" This soldier was a little surprised.
Liang Cheng patted the opponent's back with the back of his knife and said:
"roll."
The soldier immediately rolled away in excitement and crawled away.
Looking at his excited movements and his excited expression, maybe, happiness is that simple.
It was so simple that as soon as this guy ran a few dozen meters away, a knight from the Northern Suppression Army came over on horseback and chopped him down with a knife.
"My lord, you have made great achievements again." Liang Cheng congratulated.
"good."
"The Zujia Army does have some skills. If the Zhenbei Army was not the one who charged earlier, it would be really difficult for other troops to defeat their army."
"What do you think of the Zhenbei Army?"
Liang Cheng hesitated for a moment and replied:
"Like a wolf and a tiger."
"Yes."
Zheng Fan sighed.
"But please rest assured, Your Majesty, our future troops will not be inferior to those of the Zhenbei Army."
"I am confident of this."
Zheng Fan patted the face of Zu Dongcheng who was unconscious and said:
"Carry it up."
Liang Cheng immediately bent down and carried Zu Dongcheng on his shoulders.
The two held their horses and began to walk back.
Ahead, at the place where they had previously charged, there were Zhenbei soldiers treating the injured Pao Ze.
Compared with the results of the battle, these battle losses are really nothing, and there is no sad atmosphere permeating the battlefield.
Everyone had smiles on their faces, even the injured soldiers were laughing and cursing.
The wind and sand in the desert are strong enough to polish away most of the unnecessary impurities, including the emotions of separation between life and death. Paoze who died in battle was just one step ahead of him, so there was nothing to be sad about.
The longer you stay with them, the more you discover the atmosphere within this army.
They are so pure and terrifying.
But the blind man once joked that after they conquered the beautiful country of Daqian, would they also become corrupted along with it?
They were corrupted, and Zheng Fan only had his own independent way out in the future.
You don’t necessarily have to be determined to rebel, but you have to at least seek your own independence. As a time traveler, it’s not too much to strive not to kowtow to others, right?
However, looking at the North-Suppressing Army at this time, Zheng Fan suddenly felt a feeling that it would be great if they could always be so pure.
After defeating the Qian Kingdom, then attack the Jin Kingdom. After defeating the Jin Kingdom, destroy the Chu Kingdom. After unifying the east, then sweep across the desert to destroy the royal court and then send troops to the west.
call………
No, if that were the case, wouldn’t he have to be Emperor Yan’s dog all the time?
"Lord, there is another way."
"Hey, did you learn skills from a blind man?"
"No, it's just that the subordinates happen to be able to feel the emotions in the Lord's heart."
"Heh, tell me, what else can you do?"
"The Marquis of Zhenbei has a princess."
"I've seen a tigress."
"How does he look?" Liang Cheng asked.
"nice."
"If the Lord is not willing to destroy them, he can accept them."
"You are too idealistic. No matter how delicious other people's food is, it is still someone else's food. It will never be as delicious as your own food."
"The subordinates are taught."
And then,
There is a person sitting in front,
The man was covered in blood, as if he had been smeared with layers of red paint, which was so greasy that it was unbearable.
But he sat comfortably alone in a pool of blood,
There was a plate of peanuts and dried meat in front of him. There was no wine, but these side dishes were brought to his mouth one by one along with the blood dripping from his fingertips.
It seemed that the place where he was sitting was not the battlefield where he had just fought, but a small teahouse in the city.
but,
No matter how the environment changes,
His state of mind was so at ease and calm.
Just like an old grandfather who likes to sit on the threshold and bask in the sun.
"I'm a little sick," Zheng Fan said.
"I miss it a little bit," Liang Cheng said.
Li Fusheng seemed to have noticed Zheng Fan and Liang Cheng and shouted:
"Zheng Shoubei, I really like your general."
This is my second confession today.
Zheng Fan really wanted to make things happen for both of them, but Zheng Fan knew that Liang Cheng would not leave him.
If you lose yourself and are no longer by your side, you can't watch other demon kings growing in strength step by step while you remain still, right?
Even the Demon King cannot accept this kind of torture.
Li Fusheng seemed too lazy to continue this request, because this kind of thing was not authentic in the first place, and his own intention was released. If Liang Cheng was interested in this, it would be difficult to say it openly, but he would definitely come to him secretly. At this time, if you operate it yourself, you will be able to get it back.
"I have ordered the sons to collect the flags and heads of the Qian army and bring them back to Chuzhou City later. Tell me, it is just a city, it is a little bigger and has more people. Zhao Jiulang Why do you value it so much?”
"Master Zaifu has a gap in his heart, how could it be me..."
"speak English."
"Reporting to your lord, because for a long time in the future, our Dayan soldiers and horses will only be stationed in the big city."
"Why?"
"Because the land of Qian Country is too large and the population of Qian Country is too large, even if Qian Country is conquered, the area that I, Dayan, can control will be very limited for a long time. Therefore, I am stationed in a big city. Nature is the best choice. Therefore, it is extremely important to keep them stable."
"Okay, I shouldn't ask this. I can't understand it anyway. I just want someone to kill."
Li Fusheng pointed at Zu Dongcheng on Liang Cheng's back and asked:
"Who is he?"
"The major general of the ancestral family."
"From the ancestral family? It still has something."
Obviously, the work of exploring battlefield news has begun, and Li Fusheng has also been summarized.
This "something" is obviously a good evaluation.
After all, the military formation formed by the ancestral family army is indeed the strongest among the three formations, and the combat effectiveness of the ancestral family army is indeed not bad.
But this is good, compared to the level of Qian Guo.
Compared with the barbarians, the gap is a bit big. The barbarians sometimes seem docile, but when they are really crazy, they will really fight with your life without hesitation.
Li Fusheng himself had experienced this situation several times in which he died in battle to the last person in his clan.
"Zheng Shoubei has made another great contribution." Li Fusheng smiled, but this smile looked a little unfriendly against the blood on his face.
Zheng Fan cupped his hands and said:
"This is what subordinates should do."
"Then please ask Zheng Shoubei to take this man into custody. His father still has 5 troops in the north. I don't think it can be of any use."
"It may be more difficult to use him to persuade his father to surrender."
In Zheng Fan's view, these big shots rarely get delayed by personal affairs, such as Tian Wujing and Emperor Yan.
Li Fusheng shook his head, grabbed another handful of peanuts and threw them into his mouth.
Road:
"It would be quite interesting to chop his son before the battle to humiliate him."
"..." Zheng Fan.
……
In Chuzhou City, people are panicked.
Master Wang is here,
This was something everyone in the city knew at this time, from the powerful men who had not had their homes confiscated and exterminated to the traffickers and footmen.
However, when the Yan people began to distribute food, there were still an extremely large number of people in Chuzhou City who came to receive food.
In contrast, the powerful are much more reserved.
Even the officials in the yamen were still worrying about their own affairs at this time.
And at this moment,
Blind Bei and an old man walked slowly on the city wall of Chuzhou City.
This is a majestic and towering city wall. As the capital of Chuzhou City, it naturally cannot be shabby.
But this city wall did not have any blocking effect on the day when the Yan people came in.
The blind man Bei pointed to the point below where food was being distributed.
Road:
"What do you think of this move, Mr. Wen?"
Mr. Wen, Wen Sutong, was the nominally highest official in Chuzhou City at this time.
Yesterday, it was Blind Bei who personally led people to his mansion, ordered a knife to be placed on the necks of his tribesmen, and forced the old man to put on his official hat.
Wen Sutong shook his head. At this time, he didn't know whether he let go or became fearless. He directly answered this blind man who made him feel extremely disgusting.
Road:
"The fools are for the people."
Blind Bei nodded, not angry, but echoed:
"Of course."
"Since Mr. Bei knows that he is kind to the common people, he will get nothing at all. Even if they know that the food is distributed by the Yan people, even if they know that the food is stored by the nobles, they still cannot stand with the Yan people. together.
As long as the wealthy nobles in the city come out to instigate, they will still express their resentment towards the Yan people and regard the Yan people as Yan dogs. "
"I know that."
"Since you know, why do you still do this?"
"Too much food."
"..." Wen Sutong.
"Mr. Wen, there are probably many people in the yamen writing self-defense notes right now, right?"
"So what?"
"It's nothing, I just think that Mr. Wen's vision can actually see a little further."
"What does longer term mean?"
"Mr. Wen should be feeling very painful right now. Firstly, he is concerned about his future legacy, and secondly, he is concerned about the safety of his relatives."
"Ha ha."
"Actually, this is not contradictory at all. As Mr. Wen said before, the people of Qian State who are robbing and taking the food distributed by our soldiers in Dayan will not give up on our Dayan because of this. Because fools are the people.”
"Mr. Bei, what do you want to say when you ask me out?"
"What I mean is, Mr. Wen, how many of the descendants who read Qing History in the future are not stupid?"
"Who can understand the events of the hereafter?"
"Then let's look forward. You, Emperor Taizu of the Qian Kingdom, bullied the orphans and widows of other people, and took over the country unjustly. But does this prevent the Zhao family from still maintaining the orthodox status of the Qian Kingdom?
No, not at all. The Zhao family and the official family of the Zhao family are still the kings and fathers of you scholars, and you are still his subjects. "
"Mr. Bei means..."
"If Dayan can subvert the Qian Kingdom and use Yan to join forces, who will care about your decision today, Mr. Wen?"
"Mr. Bei, this is a fallacy."
"I never think that what I say is a wise saying. I just want to relieve Mr. Wen's boredom. I just don't know, Mr. Wen, you are hoping to come here later.
Is it Yan Jun or Qian Jun? "
Wen Sutong did not answer.
"I appreciate Mr. Wen's sincerity."
"I didn't say anything."
"Not to mention joining the army, it is already an attitude. Mr. Wen, you are about to die anyway. What you do now is to think about your family. Your grandchildren are still alive. very young."
"Mr. Bei, are you threatening me?"
Blind Bei took out a scroll from his sleeve and handed it to Wen Sutong.
Wen Sutong took the scroll and opened it. After seeing the words on the scroll, his whole body began to twitch with anger.
"This... you... how dare you... you actually..."
This scroll is a notice of peace and prosperity issued by Wen Sutong as the "Jiedushi".
The contents of Anmin are all the same, but in addition to Anmin, Wen Sutong also used Wen Sutong's tone to criticize a series of officials and officials of the state of Qian. They violated taboos and even rose to the level of Taizu of the state of Qian. If the country is not righteous, the Ji family should replace the Zhao family and become the co-owners of Yanqian and Qianlong, which is a well-deserved height.
"This is framed! This is framed!"
Wen Sutong shouted.
"Yes, this is frame-up, this is frame-up, this is what I wrote, and I can testify to Mr. Wen.
But who would believe it?
After all, Mr. Wen, since you put the hat on your head yourself, do you still want to take it off yourself?
This notice to calm the people has been issued today, not only in Chuzhou City, but also in all the countryside and villages.
Mr. Wen, you have no way out. Even if you are willing to shoulder all the blame alone, your family will definitely not be able to save it.
Although the Zhao Guan family always talks about being kind to the scholar-bureaucrats, you have to weigh these things in your heart. Can you let your Wen family go? "
"what do you want to say in the end."
"It's just a cliché. Since there is no way out, just move forward honestly. With your status and the fact that you are the first to go, we will naturally set you up as a role model and join us as a leader in the future. It is also reasonable for the court official to pay homage to the minister.
It's a good time for you, otherwise if you wait until those husbands also surrender, their qualifications and status will be much higher than yours. "
"Hehe, hahaha..."
Wen Sutong, who was still angry before, suddenly laughed.
Blind Bei stood there silently, saying nothing.
Wen Sutong was chosen by Blind Bei. Since he was chosen, there must be a reason for choosing him.
"I have a condition."
"You are not qualified to raise conditions."
"you……"
"You can say some harsh words, but it's meaningless, because you don't want your entire clan to be destroyed, and I have the ability to destroy your entire clan, so you don't have any qualifications to negotiate terms with me, do you understand?"
"Then I have a request."
"Please tell me, I will definitely tell my master, who will then write to the court."
"My request does not need to be submitted to the court. I have always been curious about what kind of person can actually make Mr. Bei recognize you as your master."
"My lord is a hidden dragon in the abyss."
"This is a bit taboo."
"Ah."
"My request is that I have a granddaughter who is sixteen years old."
"My master doesn't like it..."
What the blind man wanted to say was that his master didn't like girls who were too young.
But Wen Sutong said first:
"No, I don't want to compete with your master, and my granddaughter is not a beautiful woman."
"That is?"
"With you."
silence,
a brief silence,
The blind man smiled,
He pointed to his eyes and said:
"I'm blind."
But Wen Sutong slapped his thigh,
Road:
"Isn't it just right?"
