The devil is coming

Chapter 568 Thirsty
According to Yangcheng, a very strange scene occurred;
The strangeness here is no longer just that a Yan army appeared in the capital of Chu State and surrounded the city where the regent of Chu State was located, but that the duration was really too long.
Uncle Zheng has been busy preparing to escape. From the first day, he made up his mind not to attack the city.
In the remaining days, the entire army was preparing for a safe retreat into Daze.
however,
The expected rescue by the Chu army did not appear.
The spies of the Yan army have detected that the Chu army was active in the periphery a few days ago, but they did not come here, but went north. Obviously, they planned to join the battlefield in Shanggu County.
On the contrary,
Their "King" was left here without any care.
This made Uncle Zheng very uncomfortable. Originally, he thought that he would be responsible for inciting hatred and attracting Chu people's energy here, but Chu people's determination at this time seemed to attract him. This strange army seems to be trapped here.
The days passed by day by day.
every day,
It is said that the regent of Dachu in Yangcheng would send people out of the city in hanging baskets to deliver some food to Uncle Zheng;
Pastries, mutton soup, whatever the regent eats today, he will send a portion to his brother-in-law.
As for Uncle Zheng, he occasionally sends some fruits and vegetables. Anyway, they are all picked from the fields of farmers around. The farmers have long since fled and disappeared. One person will send someone to Qiyang City to repay the gift to his uncle.
Both parties knew the etiquette and were polite when coming and going.
.........
"Counting the days, the Qingluan Army should be here soon, right?" The regent, wearing a purple robe, sat lazily on a chair and asked Sun Yuan.
"If we go back to the king, we should calculate the time and it should be here in the next two days."
"Haha, my brother-in-law outside the city must be waiting impatiently." The regent picked up the teacup and blew a breath, "Let Qingluan Army accompany him to go around in circles. After he leaves, I have to return to the capital. ”
Although the Queen Mother came forward to appease the court,
But without him as the "emperor", things will eventually become unstable.
Moreover, he had stayed here long enough. Not only did he send away the Dugu family's army, but he also had five other noble private soldiers who were originally located in the south of Da Chu move north.
almost,
It's really almost done.
"The Qu family has always been unconvinced. OK, I will give him this opportunity now. I want to see if after Qu Tiannan, he, the Qu family, is still qualified to hold the position of a pillar country again."
.........
"Where is Zhuguo?"
"Where's the general?"
"Where are the loyal soldiers of Da Chu?"
Uncle Zheng sits in front of the tent every day, thinking about this problem.
Running is not a pleasant thing physically and mentally.
But waiting all the time to run away is actually more torturous than the former.
Chu people are really calm. In some aspects, the quality and performance of Chu people are indeed much higher than those of Qian Guo back then.
You must know that the Chu people were still in a state of numerous nobles, and the Qian State actually became a unified and centralized dynasty who knows how many years earlier than the Yan State.
Of course,
Being able to have such a leisurely mood and leisurely time sitting here and leisurely,
It’s just Uncle Zheng alone.
The rest of the people, from the demon kings to the soldiers, are always busy. As a lone army, they naturally have to be extra careful.
And the busiest person is none other than Gou Moli.
Liang Cheng stayed in Jingcheng and used [-] cavalry to fight guerrillas with the Chu army. The blind man stayed behind to guard Xueguan. Uncle Zheng was good at cavalry combat, but in other aspects, especially in this situation, he was actually weak.
The regent is in the city and wants to eat but can't. Outside, tigers keep passing by. They glance at you from time to time, but they don't really pounce on you.
The battlefield situation, not to mention the overall situation, but just this part, is actually really bad.
Making a comeback against the wind in this environment is actually what the Savage King is best at. During the early uprising in the snowfield, when he faced other tribes in the snowfield, then faced the Situ family's army, and finally faced the Yan army, he had always been They are all constantly making comebacks in an unfavorable environment and disadvantageous situation.
Therefore, Uncle Zheng was happy to hand over the nominal "command power" of this army to the Savage King first. Even Jin Shuke had to temporarily listen to the Savage King's dispatch.
And then,
The Savage King walked over quickly. His hair was a little messy and his eye sockets were a little sunken. He looked very haggard, but his eyes were still shining with energy.
He was imprisoned in Xueguan for so long, and then accompanied him to Yanjing as a semi-prisoner, and then encouraged his savages to die to gain status;
This time,
The Savage King finally regained the feeling of the past under the city of Jiyang!
Like a wild wolf, he peeks and observes his enemies, finds their weaknesses, then pounces on them, bites their necks, suffocates them, makes them bleed, and finally, lets them die!
"Uncle."
Uncle Zheng nodded and said, "Are you here?"
"arrive."
Uncle Zheng nodded with some relief and said, "It's good to be here."
What arrived was Qu's Qingluan Army.
The Fan family rebelled,
In fact,
When the Yan Army navy entered the Wei River from within the Fan family's sphere of influence and then moved eastward, the Fan family could no longer hide their identity.
Fan Zhengwen led the whole family of the Fan family, plus the troops of the Fan family, to withdraw from the city early and entered Mengshan Mountain to avoid the pressure from the Qu family.
The Qu family really didn't have time to play hide-and-seek with the Fan family in Mengshan Mountain at this time. They had serious business to do. Therefore, after massacring the small town where the Fan family was previously located, they immediately reorganized the Qingluan Army and joined forces with the Chu State. Together with the navy, they marched eastward to chase the Yan people's navy.
Halfway through the chase, orders and military information came together. Their mission became that King Qin, the regent of Da Chu, was besieged in Juyang City by the Yan people.
Therefore, Qu and the Chu Navy did not stop at Jingcheng. After helping a Chu army cross the Wei River, they immediately continued to move along the Wei River and chased the Yan army that dared to offend the great Chu Tianyan.
As for Uncle Zheng’s army,
Alone, indeed alone, even if the spies worked very hard, and San'er and his men kept snooping around, they still couldn't hide the overall situation of being in the dark.
The entire battlefield in this area, except for the area in Yangcheng which is lit up, the other areas should all be covered in the fog of war.
but,
There is only one shining point,
it's moving,
It's moving forward,
Where it will go and when it will arrive at the next place, Uncle Zheng, can all be estimated.
It's the Qingluan Army!
Money can make the world go round. If what the previous generations of the Fan family did was just the instinctive behavior of a merchant family to maintain its own existence and reproduction, then from the day Fan Zhengwen married the Min family, that is, Xiaoliuzi's aunt Since then, or even earlier, Fan Zhengwen has been preparing for today's counterattack against Chu.
After seeing the Yan army overwhelmingly destroying Jin and annexing the three Jin territories, Fan Zhengwen almost went crazy and invested all the capital at hand on this big gambling table.
The Fan family is not just the Fan family. The Fan family has been the money bag of the Qu family for hundreds of years. His tentacles have actually been all over the Qu family. The county town that the Qu family destroyed actually never touched the true identity of the Fan family. Power exists.
Not to mention that the main force of the Qingluan Army was once destroyed under Yupan City. Although the newly formed Qingluan Army has its old foundation, it is too easy for the newly recruited soldiers and newly promoted generals to get mixed up.
The Qingluan Army sat on the boat and chased them all the way, like a beast suffering from skin disease. Skin flakes kept falling off its body. Then it took the initiative to fly to Uncle Zheng and report this attack to Uncle Zheng. The movements of Qingluan Army, sometimes, one piece of information can bring three groups of people!
From the youngest centurion, to the commander of thousands, to the deputy general of the navy, and even the commander of the Qingluan Army, everyone has sent people off the ship to report the news.
It is unknown how many people here really want to take refuge in Dayan, but if nothing unexpected happens, everyone should have something in the hands of the Fan family.
"Ha ha."
Uncle Zheng smiled and lit a cigarette.
continued;
"Perhaps, my uncle thought that the Qingluan Army could be used as a stick to drive me away, but he didn't know that the stick had long been hollowed out."
The Savage King Zedao: "Uncle, families like the Fan family will not be allowed to stay here in the future. When my subordinates first started the uprising, there were actually many merchant families in Jin and their subordinates who had been flirting with each other for a long time. They were still considered subordinates. He smuggled a large amount of armor and weapons for household use."
"It doesn't matter. Xiaoliuzi started his career as a merchant. If he gets to power in the future, no one will suppress these merchants more harshly than him."
Uncle Zheng now fully understands why Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to bring down Shen Wansan.
"Are you sure? The opponent's number is three times more than ours."
"Uncle, don't worry, we are all elites."
"Yes." Uncle Zheng nodded, pointed to the city in front of Yangcheng, and said, "After the troops and horses are mobilized, my uncle may run away."
No matter how transparent the Qingluan Army is, Uncle Zheng has to use all his strength to fight against it. He can only withdraw from the siege of Yangcheng.
It was impossible for the regent not to seize this opportunity and return to the capital.
It's a pity, it's a pity,
Liqing misses her brother so much,
But I couldn't invite my uncle to come home as a guest.
"No matter what, let's eat this Qingluan army first!"
"Yes, uncle."
Uncle Zheng stretched his waist and said with a smile:
"If you think about it carefully, it seems a bit unethical to always catch Qu Shi trying to pluck wool."
"My uncle means..."
"No matter, no matter, that kid is probably confident enough to come and take my dog's life. He asked for it."
.........
in the reed marsh,
The navy ship of Chu State docked,
Groups of Qingluan soldiers began to disembark from the ship with neat steps.
A young general wearing red armor and riding a white horse looked at the sunset in the distance.
His eyes narrowed slightly,
said in a deep voice;
"Zheng Fan, I'm here to take your life."
----
I need to sort out my thoughts and try to break out tomorrow!
