The devil is coming

Chapter 554 Start
"Eat some of this."
Xu An handed a piece of green dumpling to Guo Dong.
Guo Dong has been vomiting a lot these days, and his face has turned a little sallow.
After all, he was a landlubber from Yandi. As soon as he got on the boat, he felt that his body was not his own, as if someone was pressing his head and knocking against the wall.
It is not that the Yan State has no navy, but the Yan State's navy is really just what it means. It is arranged in some lakes. Even the navy itself does not think that it is a navy, it is just a few more ships.
The one currently looking at the river is considered to be the first naval force in the strict sense that has come into the eyes of the Great Yan Chaotang.
Therefore, there are really many people like Guo Dong who get seasick.
In order to load the transportation capacity as much as possible, many of the equipment used for water warfare were dismantled on the naval warships. Therefore, people are next to each other in every cabin.
The dense space and dirty air are already uncomfortable, but when you vomit or he vomits, the smell in the cabin is really gone.
Fortunately, Xu An was good at swimming, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to swim across the Wangjiang River when he fled.
There was an order from the top of the mountain to organize those who were good at water and not seasick and responsible for taking care of some seasick Paoze. After the Yanren captain issued this order, he turned his head:
"vomit!"
"Is this thing useful after eating it?" Guo Dong asked with some doubts.
If there is something in the stomach, I will feel more like vomiting.
Xu An shook his head and said, "It's useless."
Guo Dong said a little aggrievedly: "You should have lied to me."
Xu An smiled and said: "You should get used to vomiting for a few more days, but you have to eat. You will vomit out your bile."
Guo Dong took a bite of the green dumpling helplessly.
Soft and glutinous, sweet, with a hint of fragrance.
chewing,
Guo Dong narrowed his eyes.
He sniffed,
road;
"My mother can do this too."
"Your father is gone."
"..." Guo Dong.
"Your brother is still disabled."
"..." Guo Dong.
"So, you have to live well and live." Xu An said.
Guo Dong breathed a long sigh of relief and said:
"Finally, I've been waiting for someone to say something."
Xu An smiled and sat down next to him.
"What about you, what do you want to do after the war is over?" Guo Dong asked.
Guo Dong himself wanted to go home. Although many people around him planned to follow Uncle Zheng to Xuehai Customs, Guo Dong wanted to do the same, but he couldn't leave.
In the ancient county of Yanguo, there was his mother, his brother lying on the bed, and a girl waiting for him to get married when he returned.
Even if the whole family moved here, it would be unrealistic. My mother was in poor health and my brother was paralyzed. I had to drag the family with me from Gu County to Xuehai Customs. Someone might have taken care of the responsibility on the way.
What Guo Dong thinks is that if he has made meritorious service and received a reward, it would be even better if he had military merit.
When he returns to Gu County, he can be a centurion in the mountain camp like his father, and help the whole family to survive. It should be no problem.
"I do not know."
This is Xu An's answer.
He has long been an orphan.
Go back to Yingdu and find your godfather?
Xu An didn't want to go back. A man who had been on the battlefield would become a godson again, then work as a coolie, and then be coaxed by his godfather as a fool. In the past, he could tolerate it, but now, he felt that he might Cut off the godfather's head and use it as a brewer.
"Just continue to follow my uncle, I envy you."
Because Guo Dong is from Yan, he admires Uncle Pingye even more.
Xu An nodded and said:
"probably."
Continue to follow the team and fight under the uncle's banner. This day seems to be going well.
There is food, drink, and the ability to kill people. This day is very dangerous, but it is also a kind of practical life.
Even if he died in battle one day, he wouldn't feel like he had anything to lose.
"Haha, in the future, when you become famous, don't forget about my brother." Guo Dong said with a smile.
The people of Yan are good at military exploits.
Even during the period when there were many powerful families, those who were ambitious among the lower-level Yan people in Guizhou would go to Beifeng County to find a job and use the heads of barbarians to exchange for their promotion ladder.
Therefore, if things go on like this, while the Qian people imprinted into the hearts of the people that "everything is low-grade, only reading is good", the people of the Yan people are using their sabers to spell out their own wealth!
Guo Dong really doesn't want to leave the military camp.
Xu An said: "I heard the two captains talking the day before yesterday. They said that after the Chu people are dealt with, the next step is probably to fight against the Qian Kingdom. You are close to fight against the Qian Kingdom. Who knows, we still have a chance. See you again."
"When the time comes, you will no longer be the captain, but I will still be me."
"It's okay, I'll let you be my personal soldier when the time comes."
"It's a word."
"Come on, come on, drink the medicine, drink the medicine!"
A captain shouted,
"Everyone must drink a bowl to prevent typhoid fever. Who dares not to drink it? Military law will be engaged!"
In an environment that is too closed, once someone gets sick or catches cold, it is easy for them to escape.
During the slave trade, an unknown number of slaves died on ships.
Of course, in this march, although the Yan Army's personnel on each ship are denser, the treatment is definitely much better than Uncle Hei. Moreover, this is a river and not a sea.
However, to be on the safe side, Uncle Zheng specially prepared Chinese herbal soup for everyone to drink a bowl of every day.
The ingredients of the medicine are very simple, equivalent to a weakened version of the Qingkai Ling isatis root of later generations. No matter how many diseases it can cure, it seems that it really can't cure anything. However, if you want to say it is completely useless, it should still be somewhat useful.
However, the biggest effect is probably to give the soldiers a psychological hint:
I took my medicine today and I am healthy!
.........
"call……"
After taking a bath, Uncle Zheng walked to the deck. The ship he was on had two levels. The lower level was also full of soldiers, and the upper level was just them.
Uncle Zheng still has the qualifications to enjoy this privilege.
At this time, Liang Cheng came over and reported:
"My lord, ahead is the Fan family's fleet."
"it is good."
Uncle Zheng nodded.
The person in charge of the Fan family's fleet is Ruan San. He is actually no longer a member of the Fan family, because he had taken refuge with Uncle Zheng as early as when Uncle Zheng first entered Chu and passed through the water village.
This waterway was originally the main smuggling route for the Fan family, but this time, it was the passage for the Yan army to enter Chu.
Ruan San's fleet came to serve as pilot, and secondly, it brought a large amount of supplies.
King Jingnan's chess move was so mysterious that even his own people, let alone the Chu people, could not have expected it. However, for the same reason, the corresponding rationing and cooperation in all aspects were also extremely demanding.
First of all, changing the course of Wangjiang River is not an easy task, especially when there is still a war ahead. Even if everything is arranged properly, it still depends on luck.
After all, it is difficult for the changes in nature to completely follow your human assumptions.
Fortunately, it's done.
Next, it is the supply of this navy all the way south.
Before entering Chu, there was nothing to worry about, but after entering Chu, you had to rely on the Fan family.
Uncle Zheng could not stop the boat and let the soldiers go to the shore to hunt or plunder, otherwise the surprise effect would be lost. It really alarmed the people of Chu. The navy blocked the front. Well, this raid would immediately turn into a joke. .
Therefore, the Navy must always maintain the maximum speed and efficiency possible.
The Fan family, this time, must truly "destroy the family to relieve the crisis" to support Uncle Zheng's extraordinary army.
For this, Uncle Zheng didn't feel any guilt or gratitude. He had come into contact with Fan Zhengwen, a lunatic who would do anything to turn his family around.
Furthermore, as long as this battle is won, it seems that the Yan people have only taken Zhennanguan, and the military front is limited to Shanggu County, but the area close to Mengshan will be separated from Chu's absolute control. Under the control, a Yan army can be stationed in the Fan family. As for whether to completely defeat the Qu family or help the Fan family and the Qu family fight against each other, it all depends on the strategic needs of the person in charge in this regard.
And it is very likely that it depends on what Uncle Zheng wants.
Ruan San boarded the ship where Uncle Zheng was.
"Ruan San, see you uncle, uncle, you are blessed!"
"Get up. Is everything arranged for the front?"
"If I go back to my uncle, the master of the house has already prepared everything. The water system ahead has been diverted due to Wangjiang River, and the water level has risen, so the navy can pass without hindrance."
"Thanks for your hard work."
"It's not hard to work for my uncle."
"I have to trouble you to make another trip and tell Fan Zhengwen to do his job well. All his efforts today will be remembered in Uncle Ben's heart.
Protect my army from entering the Wei River and entering Jingcheng, and I will protect him, a hereditary and irreplaceable eunuch of the Fan family! "
Hereditary neglect,
Prefect,
It's not something Uncle Zheng can decide.
Even if Uncle Zheng is granted the title of Marquis in the future and becomes the third powerful Marquis of Dayan, he will not be qualified to make this decision without authorization.
But His Majesty Emperor Yan has the courage,
As long as I can help him break through Chu quickly,
Uncle Zheng believes that Emperor Yan will never be stingy with these rewards.
And if you have just invaded another country, you must first attract role models and give generous rewards to those who lead the way.
This is how the Qing court treated Wu Sangui and others, and how the Japanese treated Wang Qianhai;
Things can be distributed only after calling in, otherwise, everything is just nonsense.
Dayan is not Nanming, and the group of officials headed by Zhao Jiulang in Dayan's court are not comparable to those idiots from Nanming.
What Fan Zhengwen wants is nothing more than to free Fan from his status as a slave family so that he can shine on the sect. Well, give it to him!
There is a relationship like Xiao Liuzi,
In addition, Hirano Bo personally promised to inherit the position of hereditary governor,
Enough for Fan Zhengwen to fight for his life.
desperately,
Everyone has to work hard,
Uncle Zheng himself went into battle and worked hard, so how could he see others leisurely and leisurely?
Ruan San responded:
"Uncle, don't worry, the master of the house can see clearly."
"He can see clearly that it is his business, and how to reward it is my uncle's business. It is you. After this battle, just follow my uncle. I will reward you as a general."
"Uncle Xie!"
Ruan San left.
Navy, keep going.
This trip lasted many days.
These days, Uncle Zheng has been paying attention to the physical and psychological conditions of the soldiers every day. Fortunately, although the trip was inevitably hasty in order to keep it confidential in advance, due to his careful precautions, the soldiers did not suffer from contagious wind and cold. disease.
Some people who were seasick and vomited at first gradually adapted to it.
After all, it is on the river, not on the sea.
These are all tough soldiers, not some delicate ladies. They are physically strong and adaptable.
at last,
The navy entered the boundary of the Fan family. To be precise, it was the canal dug by the Fan family.
Here is another round of supplies.
Fan Zhengwen boarded the ship. After receiving Fan Zhengwen's assurance and seeing a box of heads of local Chu officials and military leaders brought by Fan Zhengwen and a line of "anyway" local Chu garrison generals;
Uncle Zheng ordered,
The fleet stopped here so that the soldiers could go ashore to rest.
One is because of safety,
The second is to invigorate morale.
He really treated these people like canned sardines, covered them up tightly from beginning to end, drove to Jingcheng, got off the boat and rushed to kill them. Uncle Zheng didn't know what to do.
The Fan family is considerate,
In the water village on the shore, wine and meat for the laborers have been prepared for a long time. Uncle Zheng ordered that the ban on alcohol be lifted today, allowing the soldiers to have fun.
At the same time, the sisters who were engaged in red tents from all over the country were also gathered by the Fan family and began to specialize in business.
The soldiers who had been so suffocated in the cabin that they were about to turn around were finally rescued in time;
It's just that these people don't look good when they eat.
While queuing, I kept yelling at the people in front of me to hurry up, hurry up, and hurry up.
In the end, Liang Cheng personally led the Xuehai soldiers as military judges and suppressed this chaotic situation.
For this reason, several of the most jumping soldiers were killed.
Fortunately, Uncle Zheng was famous enough to be able to suppress various generals and prevent the soldiers from making mistakes. Otherwise, other leaders would not dare to suppress them like this.
So, soon, the shore;
Everyone ate meat and drank wine quietly, and queued up quietly. The atmosphere was orderly and depressing;
They didn't even dare to make the professional calls of the ladies in the red tent.
on board,
Uncle Zheng held a banquet in honor of Fan Zhengwen and others.
First, a group of local Chu generals knelt down, formally saluted Mr. Pingye, and then introduced themselves to their families.
Money can make the world go round, and this sentence is most suitable for the Fan family.
To paraphrase later generations, when capital expands to a certain level, it will become pervasive and will naturally extend its sinful claws to places it should not touch.
Most of these local generals were funded by the Fan family.
Moreover, some of this kind of support started from their fathers or even their grandfathers. Some of their ancestors were slaves of the Fan family or had betrothed to daughters of the Fan family.
The Fan family used money as a guide and built a huge network of relationships over several generations.
No such thing,
He, Fan Zhengwen, didn't have the confidence to board Dayan's ship.
Of course, this relationship network cannot be perfect, and there will definitely be loopholes, but these loopholes, or instability factors, have been solved by the Fan family in advance.
Those heads are worthy of being put on the table and can be sent to the ship to be used for wine and food today;
Many others were either poisoned to death or had their families exterminated;
Uncle Zheng knew very well that the hands of the Chu generals and officials kneeling in front of him should be stained with the blood of their colleagues.
How is it possible to be alone?
If you don't accept the petition, just go down and follow the chatter of those "righteous men" in Chu.
"Everyone, please get up. We, the Great Yan, have always been clear about rewards and punishments, and my Majesty has always been generous with rewards. You have made great contributions to our Great Yan. After the war at Zhennanguan is over, it will be no problem to grant you the title of wife and son. .
Come,
stand up,
Drink this cup to the full,
After this cup,
You can all be regarded as officials in the same dynasty as me. "
"Uncle Xie!"
"Uncle Xie!"
After a round of drinks, the atmosphere here became more lively.
After receiving Uncle Zheng's promise and comfort, they all got up and disembarked the boat at the right time. What surprised Uncle Zheng was that Fan Zhengwen didn't bother to stay and talk for a while.
He is qualified, and Uncle Zheng is even ready.
But Fan Zhengwen got off the boat simply and without any sloppiness.
Watching them come ashore in the boat,
Gou Moli walked to Uncle Zheng and said:
"Uncle, this Fan Zhengwen is quite a character."
Uncle Zheng nodded.
A madman, terrible, but not terrible;
A madman with ability, heart, and means is really scary.
"If uncle wants to use this person in the future, he needs to be more careful. This person can bring the general trend to force him, but he is not suitable for conspiracy in the future."
"Ah."
Uncle Zheng smiled,
He understood what Gou Moli meant.
The Savage King reminded that this Fan Zhengwen was Xiao Liuzi's uncle.
So no matter what, he will stand by Xiao Liuzi's side.
Uncle Zheng reached out and patted the Savage King on the shoulder.
road;
"It's still early."
Gou Moli said, "Uncle, success depends on foresight."
"Okay, when the battle is over, you and the blind man can go and make a thorough calculation."
There are two conspirators in the family, and Uncle Zheng is very happy.
It's not that he can't pull off this kind of conspiracy, and it's not that he can't pull off this kind of layout, but he is just too tired and it will affect his quality of life.
Anyway, Gou Moli and Blind Man both like to tinker with this and enjoy it, so let them do it.
As for Xiao Liuzi,
If you want to choose who will be the next emperor,
I will undoubtedly choose Xiaoliuzi.
Without him,
It’s just something that pleases my eyes and ears;
At this time, A Cheng came up in a small boat.
Uncle Zheng asked:
"A Cheng, how long will it take?"
"Don't worry, Lord, you can go straight to the Wei River from this canal, and then from the Wei River to Jingcheng, it's a big river, and the speed won't be slow. In addition, Fan Zhengwen also ordered people to send a lot of Qu's military flags and some Qingluan Army's armor can also be used to show off on the road.
But my subordinates felt that this was not necessary. "
"No, it's necessary." Uncle Zheng said with a smile, "When the ship arrives in Jingcheng, then the Chu flag is lowered and the Black Dragon flag is lowered, the feeling of pleasure will be even stronger."
Gou Moli asked doubtfully: "Who is so happy?"
The Savage King, who always likes to pursue reality, doesn't care if he kowtows, kneels, and calls himself a "little dog" as long as it's beneficial. Obviously, he can't find resonance in this kind of hypocrisy.
Uncle Zheng said bluntly;
"It makes me happy."
.........
Da Chu has a vast territory.
In fact, more than 800 years ago, it was not just the Marquis of Yan, the Marquis of Chu and the Marquis of Jin who held the Imperial Order of Great Xia.
The reason why these three are mentioned now is because of the survivor bias, because among the four major countries in the world, Yan, Jin, and Chu were among them.
The second reason is that these three were the ones with the highest official titles and high hopes back then.
Since the founding of Yan State, it has been fighting with the barbarians to death;
After the Jin Dynasty expelled the barbarians, they began to engage in civil and military activities early on.
In the past, the hinterland of Daxia, the place of origin, after the collapse of Daxia, there was a period of separatism and the division of north and south, and even experienced the chaos of six generations and twelve kingdoms in a hundred years;
In the end, Emperor Taizu of Qian State picked the peaches and established today's Daqian.
In the opening chapter of "Qian Shi" written by Meng Shou, Emperor Taizu bluntly stated that Emperor Taizu plundered his empire.
The Yan people have never moved south vigorously because they only conquered the desert in the past sixty years. Although the Northern Expedition of Emperor Taizong of the Qian Kingdom was launched by the first generation of Zhenbei Hou a hundred years ago, the main contradiction of the Yan people has remained for a long time. They are barbarians from the desert.
Regarding the south, although there were occasional plunders, pressures, and intimidations, they have never been able to really free up their hands to take action in the south;
Originally, the Yan people thought that after being isolated from the threat of the desert, they would be able to look back to the Eastern China. However, they fell into the whirlpool of clan rule, which scattered the country's power and made it difficult for the emperor to monopolize power.
After the Jin people eliminated the barbarians, they felt at ease for a long time. Due to geographical reasons, it was inconvenient for Jin to attack Qian State, unless the Yan people were willing to take advantage of the road, but this was obviously impossible.
Later, when the Jin Kingdom was divided into three parts, its willingness and ability to expand externally were naturally insufficient.
As for the State of Chu, it can be said that the State of Chu borders a large area with the State of Qian. Although there were occasional frictions and even several small-scale wars, no real national war broke out.
This does not mean that Chu people like to live in peace. In fact, Chu State has always been very aggressive.
After the collapse of Daxia, there were many small countries in the east for a while, and the one that destroyed the country and swallowed the most territory was actually the State of Chu.
In 800, Da Chu had actually been annexing surrounding lands and small countries.
The Chu State's feudal system between emperors and nobles has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that both the royal family and the nobles below have an instinctive desire to expand their territory.
What is more embarrassing is that when they annexed to the north, the Jin people built Zhennanguan to block them. When they annexed to the west, they encountered the same problem as the Yan people. The wealthy Gan people built a series of buildings in the mountains. Military stronghold.
It is a pity that there is no truly rigorous surveyor in this world who can single-handedly measure the land of the Four Kingdoms like Meng Shou did in the history books of the Four Kingdoms. However, those who have traveled to the Four Kingdoms have all expressed similar sighs. Among the four major kingdoms, When it comes to the vastness of the land, Chu is the most vast.
However, the land of Chu State is not as rich as Qian State. Because of the large swamps and mountains and forests, it is often called "poor mountains and bad water";
The population of the Chu State is not as large as that of the Qian State, because the Chu State has not yet achieved centralization in the true sense. There are still a large number of Shanyue tribes in the country who are either submissive or still in turmoil, as well as control a large amount of land and The population of the great aristocracy.
However, if you ignore these things, the culture of Chu State is actually extremely prosperous and splendid. Different from the Confucian unified pattern of Qian State, Chu State can be said to be a true contention of a hundred schools of thought.
.........
"Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz..."
"Dong dong dong, ha go ha go..."
On the dock outside Jingcheng,
A singing troupe from the south was performing hard.
Youge, as the name suggests, is a traveling song and dance troupe.
According to legend, they existed in the army when the Chu lords opened the border. In the early years, they performed songs and dances inherited from Daxia to cheer up the soldiers;
Then, after absorbing the Shanyue culture, new elements were incorporated.
Some more primitive syllables are added to the singing, while many wild and bold elements are added to the dance while retaining the order and rigor of ancient Xia dance.
In Chu State, smaller singing troupes are active in urban and rural areas. Whether it is weddings, funerals, or temple fairs, their presence is inseparable;
The larger troubadour troupe travels to counties across the country, hoping to gain fame in the country and eat the food of the whole country;
The largest one is in Yingdu and is used exclusively for royal sacrifices.
The current singing troupe that appeared in Jingcheng is quite famous in Chudi. It is said that the troupe leader is an illegitimate son of a nobleman.
In Chu State, there is also a very clear distinction between direct descendants and concubines.
But Chu people like romance, and illegitimate children are often the product of romance.
Therefore, people instinctively despise illegitimate children, but they still like to hear stories about illegitimate children.
This dance has a brisk rhythm, and the men and women in the team are all dressed in cool clothes. It really attracted a lot of attention.
There are not many defenders in Jingcheng, because it is in a very safe place, and there are several soldiers and horses stationed nearby. It can be said that they arrive early and late.
But there are a lot of people here, mainly civilians.
If Yingdu is the hub for military supplies in the rear of the Yan army, then the hub of the Chu army is this Jingcheng.
Just imagine, if Yingdu was suddenly breached, what would it mean to the millions of soldiers and civilians on the front line? How could the war continue?
Therefore, throughout the ages, when two sides are at war, the other side's military supply routes are often the key targets.
Wang Zhi is the transshipment officer of Ximen Pier. There are three terminals in Jingcheng, and he is in charge of one of them.
Every day, a large amount of grain, grass and various military supplies, including civilians and auxiliary soldiers, would cross the Wei River from here, and then be continuously imported to the Zhennanguan front line.
"Ouch."
Wang Zhi stretched out his hand and tapped his lower back. He was actually not very old. He was only in his thirties this year. Originally, he was also an old handsome guy, but with the war, his originally leisurely official position suddenly became busy.
The transshipment officers of three docks and two docks have been dismissed by General Nian from the front with the seal of general due to negligence. Wang Zhi is the only one who has achieved great results.
He really doesn't dare to slack off. He is not from a noble family. It is not easy to climb to this position. He cannot afford to be embarrassed. He really cannot afford to be embarrassed.
“Over there, over there, take inventory again, and over there, sort it out again.
Come on, please let this batch of grain be unloaded quickly and free up the dock. The next wave of fleet is probably coming! "
After Wang Zhi finished shouting, he watched the group of dock soldiers running past, then he bent down and took two more breaths.
In fact, he is not the only one responsible for the affairs of this pier. He is the transfer officer of this pier, but there are actually two superiors above him, but both of them are sons of nobles.
When the war first started, they could still be active and stay there morning and night. But once the war lasted for a long time, they would get tired and would go out for a walk every evening.
Wang Zhi didn't think there was anything wrong with this. Who said someone should be born well?
Furthermore, it has long been a custom in the officialdom that people are too busy to do things, and those who do the most have the lowest status and get the least.
"There, there, hurry up, transport these arrows over there, hurry up!"
Wang Zhi shouted again,
"Damn it, these bastards actually stopped there and watched the dance! Come on, whip them with a whip!"
A group of dock soldiers came up with whips to drive away the civilians who had stopped to watch the singing and dancing performances of the troupe.
As for the people in the singing troupe, these dock soldiers did not dare to provoke them.
In this era, the status of actors was very low.
This point is the same no matter whether it is in Yan, Qian or Jin Chu.
But everything is different once it has something to do with sacrifices. Even if they are members of the singing troupe in the countryside, they may be poor and hungry, but no one dares to really bully them as beggars. This is taboo. thing.
Furthermore,
The leader of this class is currently in Jingcheng. It is said that he has been introduced as a confidant by the Lord Keeper of Jingcheng.
The reason why the illegitimate son brought his singing troupe was to encourage the frontline soldiers. The deeper purpose was to invite fame, in the hope that one day he could wash away his status as an illegitimate son and officially join the official service.
No matter how beautiful the singing and dancing were, the whips were so painful that the peasants couldn't bear it anymore and were soon driven to work.
Wang Zhi snorted coldly,
I secretly said in my heart:
What's the use of singing and dancing?
Might as well come over and help move things.
At this time, a large ship appeared on the river in the distance.
"Sir, the ship is coming, and it's a big ship."
"I am not blind!"
Wang Zhi subconsciously took a few steps towards the dock river.
Is this big ship a navy ship?
"Clear the dock and prepare for incoming ships to dock, quickly!"
Wang Zhi gave the order.
Although the shape of the ship was a bit unfamiliar, Wang Zhi never thought that it was not a ship from the Chu State, let alone a ship from the Yan State.
Does Yan have a navy?
Will Yan's navy appear in the Wei River?
How is it possible? It's simply not possible.
.........
"My lord, there is something going on at the dock." Xue San reminded, "Do you want to dock first and let some troops rush into the dock?"
Uncle Zheng shook his head and said:
"The Chu people didn't receive any news along the way. We arrived very suddenly. The pier on the opposite side didn't seem to be prepared in advance. Let's move on."
"But... wouldn't it be too risky?"
"If you were a Hu Jianren, would you have thought that you would wake up one morning and find that the Mongolian navy had landed in front of your house?"
"Can it still be compared like this?"
"That's about it. Send the order and hang up the Qu family's flag."
"Yes, my lord."
"You reminded me that you can take your people off the ship first to provide support."
"Subordinates obey!"
.........
"Sir, it's Qu's ship!"
"Yes, yes." Wang Zhi nodded and said: "Because the main force of the Qingluan Army was buried under Yupan City the year before last, the Qu family did not send troops this time. Now, they should have formed a new army. A Qingluan army was sent.
Quick, clear this place up. "
The originally busy and crowded pier was quickly cleared into a large open area.
because,
You can laugh at the main force of Qu's Qingluan Army being destroyed and seriously injured, or you can laugh at the fact that the princess was snatched away by the plain man of Yan State and wore a cuckold;
But what you have to admit is that the Qu family is a centipede insect that is still alive and is still one of the top nobles in Chu.
No one dares to contradict it or neglect it in person. This is the foundation and deterrence of the great nobles.
The members of the troupe immediately came forward to the pier and began to dance and sing in a neat rhythm that was pleasing to the eye.
This is a tradition in the Chu region, where guests from far away receive blessings.
And the person who is prayed for will also be given a reward, no matter how much.
In the past, every time a large fleet came over, the singing troupe would behave like this.
Furthermore, the fleet coming now is the Qu family, and the leader should be the core figure of the Qu family. The people in the singing class clearly know what their class leader wants. If they can make friends with the big shot of the Qu family, the leader of their class will Your wishes will come true faster.
It must be said that the illegitimate son has an amazing talent in training his subordinates and can make them put themselves in his shoes.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The pier is very large and can accommodate several ships at the same time.
On the boat, Qu's flag fluttered in the wind.
Then,
A group of soldiers wearing cyan armor walked down from the deck in a neat queue.
behind,
A swordsman in white walked down slowly, and behind him, a young general in golden armor came down.
"Wharf Transfer Officer Wang Zhi, I have met the noble man!"
Wang Zhi knelt down directly in front of the golden-armored general.
As soon as he knelt down, all the dock soldiers around him also knelt down.
The state of Chu has a strict hierarchy, especially the nobles, who have extremely high privileges.
The singing troupe gathered around and started celebrating.
Uncle Zheng turned to look at the Sword Master standing next to him and said, "It seems that they welcome us very much. Do they have any intention of welcoming Master Wang?"
The sword master shook his head,
in fact,
He was also a little speechless.
I originally thought that I would face a bloody battle after disembarking from the ship, but who knew that this would turn out to be the case.
At this time, the decks of other ships were also lowered, and a group of Yan soldiers in black armor and savage warriors in messy armor rushed off the deck.
The people around the dock were very surprised by this, but they still did not think of the possibility.
Even Wang Zhi, when he saw those soldiers with pure black armor and mixed armor disembarking one after another, he only took a few more glances, and wondered in his mind whether it was because Qu's vitality was seriously injured that he couldn't even unify the armor style?
More and more soldiers disembarked from the ship, and they began to spread out and slowly form formations.
On the ship, rows of crossbowmen were already in place, with their bows and arrows ready.
A very chilling atmosphere began to permeate the air.
At this time, Liang Cheng walked to Uncle Zheng and said, "It's time to start."
Liang Cheng, who had been fighting for a long time, encountered this situation for the first time.
You can calmly form an array under the eyes of the enemy, but the enemy who should have fought and blocked you is kneeling in front of you, and their citizens gather here with awe and watch the excitement.
"Are you sure?" Uncle Zheng asked.
"It's not a big problem."
Visible to the naked eye, the gate of Jingcheng in the distance is still wide open.
The Chu people are not slacking off, but there are several soldiers and horses stationed in the north of Jingcheng. If the Yan army attempts to break in from the side of Zhennanguan, Zhennanguan will light a beacon to warn.
This battle was really a bit...insulting to Liang Cheng.
Uncle Zheng nodded and said:
"Then, let's get started."
The enthusiasm of the singing class continues,
however,
As Liang Cheng raised the knife in his hand, he gave an order.
The vanguard soldiers who had already formed their formations were charging forward like a group of hungry tigers with their knives raised, and a round of arrow throws from the rear crossbowmen directly cleared a large area.
In fact, there is no need to be so rigorous. In this case, if Jingcheng still cannot be taken, Uncle Zheng can really kill him with a piece of tofu together with Liang Cheng.
The personal guards around Uncle Zheng who originally wore Qingluan Army armor did not hesitate to slash their swords at the enthusiastic troubadours around them.
Chu people will respect their customs,
but,
Yan people,
will not.
Blood, accompanied by screams, began to quickly stain the dock. The people in the singing troupe were quickly slaughtered. Nearby, the soldiers and civilians on the dock immediately began to flee after the initial shock.
The soldiers who disembarked later continued to pursue, while Liang Cheng led the soldiers and horses and rushed towards the gate of Jingcheng. The gate did not have time to close. A Cheng led his troops directly into it, which meant that It is only a matter of time before Jingcheng falls.
Uncle Zheng stood there as a group of tigers rushed past him.
Uncle Zheng smiled,
immediately,
Slowly his smile faded again,
Road:
"I came, I saw, I conquered."
A few short words, but they contain a soul-stirring domineering force!
for a while,
Uncle Zheng bent down, stretched out his hand, and patted the official hat of Wang Zhi, who was kneeling in front of him and had not been hacked.
Wang Zhi's body trembled several times.
He was already a little broken. He couldn't figure out what was going on, but when he saw some soldiers raising the Great Yan Black Dragon flag, he finally realized what was going on right now!
It's over,
It's over,
it's over...
"Do you remember what I just said?"
Uncle Zheng asked Wang Zhi.
"Remember...remember..."
"Okay, don't change a word, pay attention to my expression, and then help me tell it to your general Nian Yao as it is."
"Forward...forward..."
“Oh, by the way, I have to add one more thing;
He said that Zheng Fan, the wild uncle of Yanping, was in Jingcheng, waiting for his great general. "
paused,
Uncle Zheng continued;
"Tell General Nian that it's time to launch."

good night.
