The devil is coming

Chapter 361 Savage King
"Get up early today!"
"Hey...yo!"
"Mother-in-law, steam two steamed buns for us!"
"Hey...yo!"
"If we don't have enough steamed buns, we still have more!"
"Hey...yo!"
"Brother, I am an old scalper!"
"Hey...yo!"
"You have to be busy day and night!"
"Hey hey hey!!!!!!"
A group of civilian workers are dismantling the workshop. Some of the equipment is laborious and time-consuming to build, so it is best to move it away. When the new workshop is set up at Xue Customs, a new round of production can be started as soon as the raw materials are found.
Migration is not a march. When marching, you have to pay attention to speed and efficiency. But with this kind of large-scale migration, it is difficult for you to pursue a certain speed.
Anyway, we're going to be on the road slowly, and we can't go any faster, so we'll take everything we can with us.
The blind man and Siniang were sitting in the carriage. Outside, there was a demolition site.
"This is the voice of the working people. Even this chant has a bit of a pornographic accent."
Since the blind man began to use the erhu, his aesthetics began to slowly break away from the pianist's style and began to gradually become more down-to-earth.
Of course, to put it another way, it means that we have broken away from the so-called vulgar taste and started to listen to the voices of the working people.
"How about you make one up for them?" Siniang said with a smile.
"This can't be done, this can't be done. These things are just like cross talk. They are interesting and fun to listen to in private, but once they are put on the Spring Festival Gala, they won't have much meaning left."
"Speak the truth."
Siniang reached out and rubbed her eyebrows.
"Let's get down to business. A Ming said that what is most lacking at Xue Customs is people, so we have to figure out how to move people there."
The plunder of the savages has turned the area around Xueguan into a no-man's land. In fact, the development of any area is most inseparable from people.
"Tell me about your charter first."
The blind man nodded and said: "The plan is divided into four steps."
Then,
The blind man took out an orange from his pocket, peeled off a piece of skin, put it on the carriage, and said:
"The first step is to mobilize our basic base. I have to say that when the Lord asked us to set up a school and a medical clinic in Shengle City, I knew that it was just the Lord's temporary benevolence. , If you are not a householder, you don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are;
But it has had a miraculous effect. I believe that at least half of the people in Shengle City are willing to move to Xuehaiguan with us.
However, it is difficult to leave the homeland, and most people are still unwilling to leave their hometown unless absolutely necessary. Therefore, the second step is needed here, which is publicity;
These people are used to the good life we ​​provide, so we will spread the word that after General Zheng is transferred and leaves here, the new city guard who takes office is a green-faced and fanged Yan general with a violent personality, excessive greed, and likes to drink human milk. He also likes to eat children.
In short, the negative comes from whatever reason.
All the shops, restaurants, and teahouses in Shengle City belong to our General's Mansion. We have arranged for people to spread this kind of news in every place.
If it is spread from ten to ten, it is true that three people become tigers. If it is not true, it is true. These ordinary people are not qualified to contact the real military affairs. They are the easiest to be incited and it is easy to create panic.
After these two steps, about [-]% of the people in Shengle will follow us.
But this is not enough. Xueguan is much larger than our Shengle City, and the location is much better than ours. The space to accommodate the population is naturally extremely spacious.
To put it bluntly, our Shengle soldiers and civilians have all moved there, which is equivalent to filling a gap in the Xue Customs.
Therefore, in this third step, I plan to spread the news and send people to work as far as possible around Shengle. It is not about levying labor, but a promise that as long as they help us carry our things to the Snow Customs, we will give them to them. They calculated it on a per-person basis, with each head worth 30 taels of silver.
In addition, if you deliberately make an opening, men, women, adults, and children will be treated equally. As long as they can help transport things, they will be priced according to this price.
People from the surrounding areas will definitely come here with their whole families to earn this advantage. "
Hearing this, Siniang couldn't help but ask:
"We don't have that much money."
But then Siniang thought of something again, she smiled and nodded.
The blind man also nodded and continued:
"Xueguan is almost a no-man's land. What is the least valuable? Just like the development of the west, land is the least valuable.
After deceiving this large group of people to the Snow Customs, you can ask for silver, but the silver will be converted into fields. 30 taels of silver, calculated according to the normal medium-sized fields, will be divided among you and planted by you.
Don’t you want land or do you want money?
Then you have to wait, wait for the money to arrive, and then settle the settlement for you. Who can bear it if it takes a year and a half?
Besides, we have soldiers and horses in our hands, are we still afraid that they will cause trouble? "
"They can't make a fuss even if they want to, because there will be many people inside who are willing to take the land."
"That's right, either, you just go away empty-handed. From Shengle to Xuehaiguan, it spans half of the Jin Kingdom. You just treat it as a trip and go back empty-handed.
But there are a few who are willing to go back empty-handed. On the way back, they eat and drink whatever they want. How many of them can survive to return to their hometown? "
This is actually considered "cheating", but neither the blind man nor the fourth lady think there is anything wrong with it.
In the final analysis, the devil's kindness is just out of interest.
Among the seven demon kings, they are all masters with bloody hands, but none of them are saints.
"What about step four?"
"The fourth step is optional. Your Majesty's seals and other things will be left here with me. I will use your Majesty's tone to write a note to the court and then to the Marquis of Jingnan.
Since we are asked to garrison the Snow Customs, we can't give no support at all.
Although the Yan Kingdom has had several large-scale conquests in recent years, which has led to some people's livelihood being exhausted, the emaciated camels are bigger than horses, more or less, and it is possible to squeeze out some immigrants to settle in Xue Customs.
The Emperor of Yan was a talented and strategic master. He knew the importance of Xueguan and it was impossible for him to get rid of everything.
Besides, after our Lord takes office as the Commander-in-Chief of Snow Customs, he will be able to find rare things to live in. He can also learn from Zhenbeihou Mansion. If he needs anything, he can ask the court for it. Don't be polite.
Once the savage is at peace, we will go and beat him, report the enemy's situation every three to five, and then report a great victory every six to ten;
This trick of raising the bandits' self-respect is made as if we don't know how to play it ourselves. "
Siniang nodded, leaned back slightly and said:
"After moving this time, you won't move next time, right?"
Next time, we should at least send troops from Snow Customs, rather than moving to our old home.
"Not necessarily."
A smile appeared on the corner of the blind man's mouth:
"Yanjing, Shangjing, these places are not necessarily worse than Xueguan."
……
A prison car, with a prisoner locked in it, was moving. There were five hundred Jingnan Army knights guarding the front and rear of the prison car.
In the prison car, Alai was sitting.
His hair was a little messy and his eyes were a little cloudy.
He was captured by the savages and delivered to the Yan people.
He scolded those savages, scolded them for being ungrateful, and scolded them for forgetting their original oath!
When facing the Yan people, he kept his mouth shut and didn't say a word.
Whatever food the Yan people gave him, he would only eat the most exquisite ones. Before nightfall, he would always wash himself with hot water.
But even so, in the life of a prisoner, it is obviously impossible for a person to have a glowing face.
The Yan people captured many savage prisoners of war, including nobles from the savage tribe, and asked them to come to see Alai.
Some prisoners of war flattered the Yan people and said, yes, that's him!
Others knelt down in front of themselves and cried bitterly.
What they are crying about may be because of their own "king", what they are experiencing now, or it may be because of their current situation.
Alai basically didn't do much, but in fact, it seemed like he did a lot.
When he knew that he couldn't escape this time, he didn't think about escaping again.
He has recognized his destiny;
He actually had no choice;
As Alai, he means nothing;
But as a "king", he can at least continue to play some role.
He didn't know where the real king was hiding now, or had he died in the rebellion?
king,
It shouldn't be that easy to die, right?
However, in Alai's view, death is actually more like a kind of relief.
The overlord of the snowfield, after losing his warriors and having his foundation overthrown, would be happiest when he goes to death in a free and easy manner.
Alive,
or,
You have to bear the harsh blame of the dead souls of more than [-] savage warriors who trust you,
Even if you want to make a comeback,
Can you get up?
Alai originally thought that the Marquis of Jingnan would come to see him, and he had been making preparations.
He was confident that he could deceive most people, but facing the Nanhou of Yan who was so miraculous in the confrontation between the two armies, he actually had no confidence.
He waited and waited, waited and waited,
But all the way across Wangjiang River,
Then we passed Yingdu all the way,
He didn't even wait for Nanhou to come to see him.
or,
It was he who was bound and escorted to the feet of the Nanhou.
At first, Alai was a little confused, but now, Alai understood.
Maybe, people don't care about themselves at all.
Most of the more than [-] savage warriors were killed in the battle, and the rest were captured. The savage essence and blood were all lost in one day.
Without the support of the army, is the Savage King still a Savage King?
Even in the snowy plains, those tribes who were once willing to follow and trust the Savage King, after facing such huge losses, not to mention whether they were still willing to support his comeback, may not be able to protect themselves now.
Alai grew up in the snowfields, so he naturally understands the customs in the snowfields.
Originally, the king could change all this, and the snowy plain could become a country like Jin and Yan, but the king failed.
What awaits the snowfield is another dark year filled with chaos and conquests.
Alai thought that maybe the Nanhou from Yan was not sure whether he was true, but if someone said he was true, then it was true.
When the Yan people are strong enough and the savages are weak enough,
the truth,
In fact, it is no longer important,
What the Yan people need is the truth.
right,
That's right.
Escort the team and spend the night in Shinsu Castle.
There, there is a military stronghold of the Jingnan Army.
Late at night, it seemed that a team of dusty cavalry came to Shinsu City.
This is a team carrying a message. They use Shinsu City as a post station and need to rest and change horses.
Some contents of the decree need to be kept secret; but some do not.
Therefore, after the eunuch who announced the decree deliberately revealed it, soon the Jingnan Army officers and soldiers inside and outside Xinsu City began to cheer spontaneously.
A cry of "King Jingnan!" resounded throughout the night sky.
Alai, who was sitting in the prison car, leaned his head on the iron fence with some sadness.
Has the Marquis of Nan from Yan been granted the title of king?
Is it because of the merits of this great victory that he was granted the title of king?
Used the bones of more than [-] savages to build his own crown?
Alai couldn't hate it, he was actually a little numb.
At the same time, he also knew that those who were as numb as himself were the tens of thousands of Chu people in Yupan City.
While crossing the river near Yupan City, Alai saw a new wall being built outside Yupan City from a distance.
The Yan people planned to trap the Chu people inside the city and let them... starve to death.
Perhaps what the Chu people in Yupan City hope for is to grit their teeth and hold on until spring, until Wangjiang River thaws, and wait for their navy to rescue them.
But wouldn’t Yan people have thought of this?
Alai lowered his head,
He wanted to raise his hand and pull his hair away, but because his wrists were shackled, he couldn't lift it up immediately.
Alai simply knelt on the ground so that his hands could help grab the hair on the back of his head, and then scratched his neck.
"Hey, take a look, does this guy look like a dog now?"
Next to him, a Yan Army soldier who was monitoring the prison car laughed.
Alai understands Xia language.
Hearing these words, he turned his face and looked at the Yan soldier. The corner of the Yan soldier's mouth was slightly tilted and he was also looking at him.
Alai smiled,
Then he said to the soldier:
"Wang! Wang! Wang!"
……
The construction work of Snow Customs has already begun. There are more than 2 savage prisoners of war. It is impossible to give them free food, although the food given is not considered human food.
But even these pig food-like things have to be snatched by them.
In the tradition of the Shengle Army, there has always been a tradition of preferential treatment of prisoners of war, but that was for a purpose. The purpose of preferential treatment of prisoners of war was to absorb those prisoners of war for their own use.
As for these savages, since they have no intention of absorbing them, they naturally do not regard them as human beings.
Since these savages were able to hold swords, ride horses, and enjoy themselves freely, then don't blame them for what they ended up with today.
If you come out to hang out, you will have to pay it back after all.
There are wooden stakes on which are hung savages who escaped and were captured. They were starved to death and sunburned to death on them. Their bodies were severely dehydrated. During the day, some birds would come to eat them. .
This is the most original and straightforward warning.
In the evening, when the evening meal was served, the sergeant Shengle who came to distribute the food really came with a bucket and threw it into the crowd like pig food. Watching these savages selflessly fighting for and biting, it seemed like an extremely important thing. Interesting thing.
At the same time, a group of soldiers would come here every day during exercise, doing nothing but watching the misery of these savages.
Many of these were recruits recruited by the Jin slaves who were originally rescued from Shengle City, and some were veterans of the establishment.
The tradition of Sheng Lejun is that ideological and political construction must not be delayed. Even if the blind man is not around, we must still pay close attention to it.
The leading captain would tell them loudly,
If we had failed,
They will not show any mercy to us, and our fate will only be several times more miserable than theirs!
This is a bloody era,
Even if General Zheng wanted to live a quiet life as an innkeeper,
I was almost thrown into a civilian camp and used as bait.
If it weren't for Liang Cheng and Xue San,
General Zheng's flesh and blood must have nourished a handful of lush pasture.
Therefore, this era is not suitable for white lotus to grow.
Even within Zhu Xia, when they really took action, there was absolutely no mercy.
The Chu navy was not merciless when they shot and killed the Yan troops who were not good at water and were flopping in the river on Wangjiang River.
same,
Marquis Jingnan wanted to trap tens of thousands of Chu troops in Yupan City into a situation of cannibalism, but he did not show any tenderness.
This is true for the nominal "brotherly nation", but it is naturally more direct and thorough for these foreign races who are not part of the Zhuxia.
The Zhenbei Hou Mansion is located in Beifeng County, and from time to time it sends troops to exterminate some barbarian tribes. The fact that a lunatic like Li Fusheng can serve as the chief soldier is a manifestation of the specific implementation of this national policy.
Even the literary sage Yao Zizhan, even in his most "elegant" years, never wrote poems and essays that said "the world is beautiful, stop fighting".
Every day, many savage prisoners of war died on the construction site;
Every day, progress is visible on the construction site at a pace that is visible to the naked eye.
It can be said that Snow Customs and the string of beacon fortresses along the line are soaked in the blood and tears of the savages.
General Zheng would ride out from time to time to see the progress, because he was really free and had nothing to do.
At home, Mrs. Hakka has taken good care of herself these days, and her figure has quickly returned to its previous luster. Her smile, and her words of willingness to recommend herself as a pillow, made General Zheng a little uncomfortable.
So, sometimes people really can't live too clearly. If I had drunk more wine, I might have solved the problem, and there wouldn't be any psychological burden.
It's better now. I rejected her at first, but now I see that Siniang and the others are about to come in a few days. If I break the gong at this time, wouldn't it be in vain that I have endured it for so long? Why bother?
When inspecting the construction site, General Zheng sometimes blamed himself for being too cruel to these savage prisoners of war.
then raised his head,
When the wind blows,
The self-blame was blown away.
day,
It just passed by like this.
until,
one day,
A group of people wearing dragon flags and gorgeous official robes rode their horses to the gate of Xuehaiguan City.
It's not easy to get here all the way from Yanjing, and you have to hurry and hurry. It's too light to say that you are so tired, especially for these eunuchs who don't often ride horses, it can be described as a kind of torture.
But compared with the two seniors who were killed by stone lions,
Hi,
Isn't it just a longer journey?
What does this mean?
Proclaiming the decree represents the face of the imperial court, so they stopped after coming to Xue Customs to pick up the knights who arrived at Xue Customs. On the one hand, they allowed the knights to go back and report to Zheng Fan first, so that Zheng Fan could be ready to receive the title. Prepare;
On the other hand, they themselves had to tidy themselves up, wash their faces, and put on the clean clothes in their luggage.
Therefore, when the decree-proclaiming team actually appeared outside Xuehaiguan, the city gate opened directly, two Shengle cavalry lined up, and the city wall was also filled with soldiers.
An incense altar table was arranged and placed in the center of the city gate.
immediately,
General Zheng, in full armor, rode his horse slowly out of the city.
The eunuch who announced the edict raised the imperial edict in his hand, and beside him was a young minister of etiquette.
"General Shengle Zheng Fan, accept the order!"
Zheng Fan got off his horse, walked forward slowly, came to the back of the incense table, shook his cloak with both hands, and knelt down.
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
For a moment, the knight on the horse held his saber horizontally in front of him. According to the tradition of the Yan army, people are not allowed to kneel on the horse, but the guards on the city wall knelt down together and shouted:
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
The eunuch who announced the edict took a deep breath and opened the edict.
"According to the emperor's edict, Shengle General Zheng Fangong is loyal to the country and has repeatedly made military exploits..."
Below is a long list of foreshadowing.
It's nothing more than a very streamlined way to praise you.
This kind of official rhetoric is just like listening to lectures in later generations. No matter what happens, this large paragraph in the middle can be used. The difference is that when civil servants speak, they add the word "character", and when military generals speak, they add "brave courage". If you are older, add "Laosong"; if you are younger, add "The Talents of the Country";
For the rest, there is no difference.
However, Zheng Fan has been waiting for the last words.
"...Therefore, General Zheng Fan of Shengle is granted the title of Commander-in-Chief of Xueguan Customs, and is conferred the rank of Pingye Bo! This is my honor."
Snow Customs General,
This is to be expected.
After all, now that Marquis Jingnan has spoken, Zheng Fan really doesn't believe that the court will refute Marquis Jingnan's reputation.
But does this mean he will be granted the title of uncle directly?
Zheng Fan didn't expect this. You know, Yan State is extremely stingy in terms of title rewards.
Even those princes, when they were princes, were all kings, but when one of the brothers ascended the throne, they would immediately unite and submit a letter demanding the removal of the king's title.
In other words, if I, the Hirano Bo, advance to another level, I will be the Hirano Marquis.
This Emperor Yan is really grand.
"Sir, thank you Lord Long En!"
Zheng Fan spread his hands and raised them above his head.
The father-in-law delivered the imperial edict to Zheng Fan and said in a flattering manner:
"Uncle, get up."
Zheng Fan stood up, raised the edict, and looked around;
For a time,
The shouts that were several times more fervent than the previous shouts of "Long Live the Mountain" came:
"See Uncle Hirano!"
"See Uncle Hirano!"
"See Uncle Hirano!"
Sheng Lejun,
Oh no,
From now on I have to call him Snow Navy.
The Shengle Cavalry should also be renamed the Xuehai Cavalry.
This army has little sense of belonging to the Emperor of Yan, the court, or even the State of Yan. Their loyalty is only dedicated to Zheng Fan.
……
into the night,
In the other courtyard, Zheng Fan held a banquet for a group of military generals;
In the inner seat, there were only the eldest prince and the father-in-law.
Thinking about it, Emperor Yan would definitely send a private decree to his eldest son, so Zheng Fan didn't bother them. He just entertained these generals at all levels in the army to drink.
At the end, he went in to have a drink with the eldest prince and the father-in-law.
Tomorrow, the eldest prince will probably leave for Beijing, and he will probably be with his father-in-law, so two gifts have already been prepared.
In fact, they are not short of money, but in the eyes of people of their level, gifts are actually more of a form of respect.
Uncle Zheng really drank too much today, so he was helped back to the inner house to rest by Fan Li.
"Water...water...water..."
After leaving his master on the bed, Fan Li felt that his mission was accomplished and walked out of the courtyard without saying anything about getting some sobering soup and pouring some tea.
At this time, the guest who lived in the side room heard the sound and came over. He saw Zheng Fan lying drunk on the bed and hurriedly got closer to check.
"Si Niang... Si Niang... I'm thirsty... water..."
quickly,
A cool feeling soaks into the lips and slides smoothly into the throat. The thirsty feeling disappears instantly, but it feels extremely sweet.
……
"You really don't want to leave with me?"
The eldest prince and Jin Shuke were walking side by side outside the city.
Jin Shuke was on patrol outside the city today and needed to make sure that the group of savage prisoners of war would not let them escape or cause any trouble. He did not attend the dinner, so before leaving for the capital, the eldest prince came to look for him outside the city.
"Your Highness, you are joking."
For Jin Shuke, there was no choice in this matter.
Not to mention that he had already identified Zheng Fan, and besides, he had already expressed his feelings in front of Zheng Fan. If he and the eldest prince left tomorrow, then, according to Zheng Fan's temper, he would definitely send cavalry to catch up with him. Kill to the ground!
Well,
Because General Zheng is often lazy and doesn't do much, so the acting styles of the devil kings are summarized under the name of General Zheng.
"Ha ha."
The eldest prince just smiled. Zheng Fan has become an uncle today. He also knows that he can no longer poach a corner. Previously, he only asked questions for the sake of asking.
Uncle Hirano, Uncle Hirano,
My own father,
This time it’s really a grand gesture.
The two men walked like this for a while without saying anything more.
The two of them were friends who fought together on the battlefield, so it was appropriate to say goodbye in this way.
At this time,
A group of savage prisoners of war came ahead to transport stones, and a group of cavalry was watching them.
When night falls, large-scale construction naturally has to stop, but some simple preparations can continue. The most important thing is that the Snow Customs soldiers do not take the lives of the savages seriously at all, and even hope that they will die early. If you go up a little, you can reduce the pressure on your own guard. Naturally, you won't care about such trivial matters as whether the savages can have a good rest at night.
"Pfft!"
At this time,
A savage dropped the basket on his shoulder and took a step forward. However, because his feet were chained, he was unable to run away. Instead, he brought down several savages in front and behind him.
One of the two knights nearby raised his saber, and the other raised his bow and arrow, preparing to kill the wild man who tried to escape on the spot.
However, the savage did not struggle after falling to the ground, but directly shouted:
"Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness!!!!!!!!!"
shouted,
It's Xia language.
Among the savage prisoners of war, those who can speak Xia language will be treated much better than ordinary savages. After all, Xue Customs also needs translators here, right?
Therefore, it is very strange that this savage who is obviously engaged in ordinary labor can speak Xia language.
Even stranger,
It's the eldest prince,
Because this savage clearly knows himself.
The eldest prince and Jin Shuke came over immediately,
The nearby cavalry retreated slightly under Jin Shuke's wave, not in a hurry to kill and punish.
The eldest prince knelt down in front of the savage,
Staring at the savage's face,
There is a new scar on this face, which is very scary. In this era, it is not easy to suffer such a big wound and not die from the wound fester.
"Do you recognize Gu?"
When the savage heard this,
Looked up,
Looking at the eldest prince,
laughed:
“I recognize it, I recognize it, why don’t I recognize it;
Aren't you my defeated general? "
.........
General Zheng, who happened to be dreaming, was woken up. The person who woke him up was Xue San.
"San'er...what's wrong?"
After drinking too much, my brain is still a little swollen.
"Lord, the Savage King, the Savage King has been captured!"
"Caught?"
Zheng Fan immediately trembled.
"No, didn't I say before that I had already been raided by the Jingnan Army?"
The main force of the barbarians was destroyed, and the victory of the Jingnan Army in capturing the barbarian king alive had actually been reported for a long time, and was also spread among the various armies.
"My lord, this, this, what the Jingnan Army captured seems not real. What we encountered this time may be real."
"What the hell?"
Zheng Fan stood up somewhat annoyed.
At this time, Mr. Ke came over with a washbasin.
Zheng Fan picked up the towel and wiped his face. Only then did he feel that his mind was clearer, and then he asked:
"What about people?"
"It's at the door."
"Bring him in."
Keshi took the towel back knowingly and exited.
for a while,
A tied savage was pulled in by Fan Liti, and was thrown directly to the ground. He kicked him to kneel down.
What surprised Zheng Fan was that the eldest prince and Jin Shuke were also following behind.
To be honest,
Jinshu can be regarded as one of Zheng Fan's lucky generals. If an army wants to continue to grow and develop, it will definitely not be possible to rely on just one person. More such talents must emerge to share some of the pressure for Liang Cheng.
But it’s obviously cabbage from my own vegetable patch.
Why does this eldest prince always want to dig secretly?
Moreover, if the eldest prince knew about this matter, it would be a little inconvenient for him to use it.
The savage kneeling on the ground immediately kowtowed and shouted:
"Gou Moli pays homage to Uncle Pingye. Uncle Pingye is blessed!"
A very funny scene,
savage king,
Meet Mr. Hirano.
The eldest prince stood up at this time and said: "Uncle Hirano, can you take a step to speak."
Zheng Fan naturally stood up and agreed. At the same time, he pointed at Xue San and motioned for Xue San to ask this person questions first.
After Zheng Fan and the eldest prince entered the side hall, the eldest prince got straight to the point:
"Uncle Hirano, this person today is definitely not the real Savage King."
"Oh?"
The alcohol numbed the brain, and he was pulled up not long after he fell asleep. Uncle Zheng's thinking and brain circuits were not in a normal state at the moment, so he was unable to understand the meaning of the eldest prince's words for a while.
"Uncle Pingye, the real barbarian king, has been captured by the Jingnan Army. At this time, he may have entered Yantu and is not far from the capital. This is a recognized thing in the army, so we are encountering him now. This savage king must be a fake."
This involves the issue of face.
Because military exploits have been reported in military newspapers, and the imperial court has also begun to discuss merits and reward them.
At this time, if you report yourself and say that the first barbarian king is fake, isn't this a slap in the face of Marquis Jingnan?
As a direct descendant of Marquis Jingnan, he naturally has the responsibility to protect Marquis Jingnan’s face.
Zheng Fan actually didn't think about it at first, because he knew Marquis Jingnan better than most people. Maybe Marquis Jingnan didn't care about this matter at all, and he made a mistake?Oh, that's wrong, just send it to the capital.
This is probably the true reaction of Marquis Jingnan.
Of course, only Zheng Fan has this kind of confidence.In fact, generally in the system, subordinates who are directly subordinate to senior leaders have to analyze their personal tastes before they are truly normal.
However, there is actually another meaning in the eldest prince's words.
That is,
Even if this Savage King is real,
That, in my eyes, is also fake.
I'll keep it a secret for you.
Uncle Zheng, who was a little slow-minded, frowned and thought for a long time before finally understanding the three levels. He pointed to his still red face with some embarrassment.
Road:
"Your Highness, I'm a little confused right now, so let's just speak up and stop beating around the bush."
said,
Zheng Fan stretched out his hand again out of habit and patted the eldest prince on the shoulder:
"His Highness and I, no matter what, we are both Pao Ze who have fought together and fought for our lives, right? I trust His Highness wholeheartedly, and His Highness naturally doesn't need to hide anything from me."
Naturally, the eldest prince would not take these "heartfelt words" spoken under the influence of alcohol, but he still nodded and said:
"That's very good, Uncle Zheng. Wujiang will leave here and return to Beijing tomorrow. Naturally, the things here have nothing to do with Wujiang. I won't listen to the interrogation. Wujiang will say goodbye now!"
The eldest prince turned around and prepared to leave.
Zheng Fan immediately stretched out his hand, grabbed the eldest prince's shoulder, and stopped him. Because his steps were a little weak, he was pressed against the eldest prince's back.
"..." The eldest prince.
"Sin, sin, sorry, I bumped into His Highness."
Zheng Fan immediately stretched his body, shook his head and said:
"Your Highness, if that's the real Savage King inside, don't you want to kill him with one knife?"
The person who hates the Savage King the most here is not Zheng Fan, nor the Demon King, nor Xue Haijun, but his eldest prince Ji Wujiang.
If it hadn't been for the disastrous defeat in the first Battle of Wangjiang, how could the eldest prince have fallen to this point?
Not only did he lose his troops, but he also turned himself into a marriage tool.
His Highness licked his lips,
turn around,
Looking at Zheng Fan,
Seriously:
"Uncle Zheng, I am [-]% sure that the one inside is the real Savage King."
Some things, some expressions, even a glance or a tone of voice are already better than countless evidences.
When the savage looked up at himself and said that he was defeated by him,
The eldest prince almost concluded that,
this,
He is the real Savage King!
"Then Your Highness..."
"Jingnan Marquis has avenged Gu's revenge for me. The Chu army in Yupan City will not be able to survive for long. It is this group of barbarians that Gu hates, not just one person.
He has no army, and he himself has been reduced to hiding in a prisoner of war camp. The tribes in the snow field will also undergo a new cleanup. It is true that he is the savage king now, but it is definitely not worthy of Ji Wujiang to kill him at all costs. !
But Gu believes that no matter what this person is doing when he declares his identity, Dan Gu believes that with your Uncle Zheng's methods, you can definitely deal with him.
Moreover, today's imperial edict has arrived, and the title of Uncle Pingye has already shown that the father has handed over all matters of dealing with the wild people in the snow field into the hands of Uncle Zheng.
How to deal with him and how to use him is Uncle Zheng's business. "
"Wow, Your Highness really... moved me so damn much."
"..." The eldest prince.
Zheng Fan shook his head vigorously again and said: "Next time, next time I won't drink again. No more. Drinking will make things worse. Drinking will make things worse."
"Then Uncle Zheng, just take a good rest."
"No, Your Highness..."
"Uncle Zheng, do you have anything else to say?"
Zheng Fan stretched out his hand again,
But because of a stumble under my feet,
The whole person stumbled forward,
The eldest prince could only stretch out his hand to support him.
Zheng Fan forcibly raised his hand again,
As if looking for something,
But no matter how hard I looked, I couldn't find it.
The eldest prince was helpless;
He could only take the initiative to grab Zheng Fan's waving hand and put it on his shoulder.
Hit the shoulder,
Only then did Uncle Zheng feel that the ritual had been completed, and he felt at ease.
He opened his mouth and said:
"Your Highness, I have recorded this favor. I, Zheng Fan, owe you a favor."
"With Uncle Zheng's words, Wujiang is not at a loss."
"We are all brothers, so we have nothing to lose!"
"..." The eldest prince.
"Your Highness, in the future, if you feel that your life in Yanjing is no longer comfortable enough, why don't you just bring your wife and children to my place? When the time comes, five thousand?
No, five thousand is too little.
Ten thousand snow sea cavalry,
I'll give it to you directly,
Let you go galloping on the snowfield! "
Although they were talking over drinks, they were a little crazy and a little presumptuous, but they did reveal the magnanimity of someone who truly considered themselves a friend.
The eldest prince grew up in the army, and he actually understands some of the customs in the army. He also knows that in the military camp, there are really brothers who are willing to defend you from the sword.
"Uncle Zheng's words have been recorded by Wujiang."
"Don't forget, really, don't forget, brother, my good brother, if you feel sad in the future, just tell me!"
Zheng Fan patted the eldest prince on the shoulder.
At this time, Liang Cheng walked in.
The eldest prince turned to hand Zheng Fan to Liang Cheng, and nodded to Liang Cheng:
"I'm back alone."
"Congratulations, Your Highness."
After the eldest prince leaves,
Liang Cheng continued to help the shaky master towards the chair. After waiting for the master to sit down, Liang Cheng went to find tea, poured a cup and handed it to the master.
Zheng Fan took the tea cup,
Take a sip.
Liang Cheng said from the side:
"My lord, you are really drunk this time."
He had actually been listening to the conversation for a while outside the house earlier, and when he saw that the Lord was really about to let himself go completely, he walked in.
Zheng Fan nodded,
With emotion:
"It's just that some words have better effects if you say them when you're drunk."
