The devil is coming

Chapter 625 Humiliation
"Hu! Hu! Hu!"
Heavy but still rhythmic breathing echoed in the yard.
As long as there are no accidents, in his free time, Mr. Zheng will always take half an afternoon to practice swordsmanship.
In my previous life, studying hard in order to get into college and for a better future seemed too illusory. Not many people could truly realize this at that time.
But Zheng Fan often has to appear in battle formations. At the same time, he also has to worry about assassinations and life-and-death threats. This is actually the most effective and direct spur.
The blind man appeared at the entrance of the yard and stood there watching his master practice his sword.
Warriors and swordsmen are two different paths.
But a swordsman is a swordsman, and the swordsman’s pursuit is the sword;
Warriors do not necessarily have to use swords. The reason why warriors basically wear swords is because weapons like "knives" are more suitable for the physique of warriors.
Of course, if appropriate, you can also use guns, clubs, meteor hammers, etc.
Mr. Zheng has always practiced swordsmanship.
Even if the sword master lived next door, Mr. Zheng did not choose to change his family and play with the sword master Piao Piao.
The quality of the knife has been changing, from an ordinary knife to a black knife, but the original intention has never changed.
After practicing,
Zheng Fan sheathed his sword;
"My Lord's sword skills are getting better and better."
"This flattery is so insincere."
"This subordinate is really not flattering, but I really see the intention of the sword. My master's talent has been proven to be very good."
Wada Wujing is naturally incomparable to Sword Master, or even to Chen Daxia.
But Zheng Fan's qualifications are actually really excellent.
After all, he advanced to the sixth level in a few years, but he did not rely on drugs to push forward. The path he took was actually very practical.
"After a while, I have to take some time to take two people to practice. I feel that the heat is almost there, so I have to go out and see if I can find the bottleneck first."
"With a sword master?"
"But wouldn't the Sword Master be too boring?" Zheng Fan asked.
If you take the Sword Master as your bodyguard, are you still traveling?
"But the Lord's safety is the most important thing, and none of us are free."
The demon kings didn't have time to separate themselves, because each of them was responsible for a lot of things.
"Bringing a sword master is too exaggerated. Let's bring Daxia Chen."
"Well, Master Chen is a down-to-earth man." The blind man nodded in agreement, "However, I still suggest that the Lord bring some spies trained by San'er to protect you secretly, so that if anything happens, the Lord can be notified in time. ."
"I'm not going far, I'm just in the Tianduan Mountains."
"You have to bring that with you, because once something big happens, you still have to rely on me to make the decision. This is not flattery."
"it is good."
Zheng Fan picked up a dry towel and wiped his upper body.
The blind man continued to report: "Grandma, wake up. What Si Niang wants to do is to arrange San'er's marriage while she wakes up. Go through the process and offer tea at the end.
The subordinates think that Hu Bamei may be Ichi Taeko. She was the one who brought us that prophecy. I don't know whether I will continue to count on her in the future.
This is just like the Dragon Ball Radar, which allows us to take the upper hand.
For this reason, it is worth sacrificing one of San'er to win over her with favors, and besides, San'er is happy with it. "
"Okay, call me when you serve tea."
Logically speaking, the boy's parents and the girl's parents have to sit together and receive tea.
"As for those who have left restrictions on Tiantian, or who have left qi on their bodies, my subordinates have made some calculations, and it's probably just those aspects.
After all, with the current power of Dayan, no matter how empty it is internally, it is extremely powerful externally, and Prince Jingnan can be said to be the foundation of Dayan's future.
This foundation can support the empire, or it can collapse the empire. "
"No other specific news?" Zheng Fan asked.
The blind man naturally knew what the Lord was asking.
shake your head,
Road:
"There is still no concrete progress in Du Juan's case, because everyone on Tianhu Mountain is already dead, and even some of the people involved at the time have died long ago.
The subordinate feels that judging from the change in King Jingnan's attitude towards the court, Emperor Yan may not be completely clean. However, if the subordinate is Emperor Yan, he should not be short-sighted enough to kill the goose that lays the goose to obtain the eggs. This is not to avoid future troubles, but to lay mines for future generations.
After all, although the eldest prince took the post of marshal of the Eastern Expedition Army at that time, Dayan was far from the time when the flying birds were exhausted.
the most important is,
Emperor Yan is not Lao Zhu, Tian Wujing, or Lan Yu. "
"go on."
Zheng Fan threw the towel into the water tank to wet it and began to wipe his body again.
"It's probably not the case with Qian Guo, because my subordinates can't figure out how stupid Qian Ren must be to do such a trick.
Perhaps, in this matter, the person who suffered the most and was the most angry was that he had done something to someone, and they would be very aggrieved. "
"Where is Chu State?" Zheng Fan asked.
"In this battle against Chu, we had many fights with the Fengchao Internal Guards, and we have a deeper understanding of this yamen. In fact, the Fengchao Internal Guards really gained momentum after the Regent took over. In the past, it was actually not that big. A big force, at least, the Chu court did not give him that much support;
In addition, many nobles put their hands into the Phoenix Nest Guards to divide the cake. It was the regent who reshaped the yamen after taking charge and made it tidy.
When Du Juan died at Tianhu Mountain, rebellion among the princes was still breaking out in Chu State. Logically speaking, your eldest brother-in-law, my lord, should not have the chance to do such a thing.
Although, he actually had the most motive, because at that moment, once Du Juan's death led to Tian Wujing, causing the Jingnan army and the Yan court to turn against each other, then it would be impossible for the Yan people to annex the entire three Jin lands, and the Yan people It is impossible for human troops to touch Chu.
Moreover, this move can also divert misfortunes to the east. Whether it is directing the hatred of the Yan people to itself or to the enemy, Chu State is undoubtedly the party that benefits the most.
But it is still what my subordinate said before. The regent may have the ability or chance to know the identity of Du Juan through his own channels. He can do some things. Chu State also has that ability, but the regent at that time The king was able to move so delicately, everyone was surprised, and there was no place to vent his anger;
This is obviously impossible. This cannot be done in a hurry, even if he is the prince of Chu.
The difficulty of doing this is equivalent to the regent summoning a real fire phoenix instead of a spirit on the ruins of Yingdu. "
"Ha." Zheng Fan smiled, "After all the rules have been ruled out, it can't be Gou Moli."
After all, the Savage King at that time was also considered to be at the card table, although at that time he went around calling himself Coyotito to pay respects to his grandfather;
"That's naturally impossible. If he really had that method, he wouldn't have been holding the princess's embroidered shoes and sniffing them for so many years."
"What about the barbarians?" Zheng Fan asked, "It is said that the old barbarian king of the barbarians has two brushes."
"If it's possible for the barbarians, then Rome in the west is also possible. They had a premonition that a new great empire was about to rise in the east, so they made a stumbling block in advance."
Zheng Fan nodded.
The blind man also smiled and said nothing.
It is indeed possible for the barbarians and the West, but this possibility is slim because the operation is too difficult.
The biggest problem is,
They were just too far away.
"The person who can push this thing to happen should also be on the chessboard, and can't be too far away." The blind man said, "It's like us.
In the eyes of outsiders, even if your lord has made you a marquis, our team is still not valued by outsiders. But in fact, we are capable of coming up with some big conspiracies. After all, Princess, we You dare to make her unconscious, right?
Therefore,
It seems that we have sorted out the major forces, but under the water, there are still forces hidden under the water that are just like us now and have not come to the surface. "
Zheng Fan picked up a robe and put it on himself.
Road:
"There is also a more extreme possibility. Hu Bamei's prophecy said that there is a guy who seems to be about to wake up in the cold pool, but who knows if one has already woken up before?
just in case,
where they are,
What about a deaf person? "
When the blind man heard this, he nodded, convinced.
"If we can't find out, we won't investigate for now. Anyway, if we have the opportunity to pick on each one in the future, we will always encounter one." Zheng Fan took a very open view of this, "Now, you are busy developing, I will be busy See how to improve your own strength.
This division of labor is quite good. "
The seven of you will help me develop my power.
I'll level up on behalf of the seven of you.
"By the way, Lord, there is one more thing I need to report to you. You should like this."
"Say."
The blind man took a few steps back,
clapped hands,
shouted:
"Enter."
For a time,
There were dense footsteps outside,
Then,
One after another figures climbed down from the entrance of the courtyard and from the wall, quickly came to Zheng Fan in an extremely neat manner, and knelt down several times in a dense crowd.
"See Lord Hou!"
"See Lord Hou!"
About two hundred people knelt down and worshiped together.
everyone,
Wearing a flying fish suit and holding an embroidered spring knife.
Marquis Zheng has always been obsessed with this neat and orderly arrangement since the time he briefly commanded the Marquis of Jingnan's personal guards.
It's not "Ula" as that idiot Fan Li likes to call.
But the pure kind,
I waved my hand,
The guards around you understand what you mean very well, and their movements are in order, with the same purpose, to provide you with the enjoyment of going up to the mountain of knives and to the sea of ​​fire.
although,
On the battlefield, Lord Zheng was able to call on a large number of knights to sacrifice their lives for him, but it was not uniform.
Right now,
Being kneeled in the middle by a group of "Jin Yiwei",
In the heart of Mr. Zheng, he really felt a sense of satisfaction as a "factory owner".
"Lord, this group of people have been carefully selected and trained by San'er. They will gradually replace your original guard battalion and perform your security work.
Those from your original guard battalion that should be transferred to the army can be transferred to the army. Those who are not suitable to be captains and are loyal can go to train again and come back with a new outfit. "
Zheng Fan did not speak, but walked to the soldier closest to him, reached out and touched his clothes.
The flying fish suit looks cool,
Especially when hundreds of people are dressed like this, it's very grand.
But Marquis Zheng is a person who likes to be practical. In particular, the strength of his personal guards is directly related to his own safety.
Fortunately,
Feiyu lowered his head and Zheng Houye took a picture of the inner armor.
After knocking,
Judging from the feel and echo, it is no surprise that it is fine iron inner armor.
The defense is very high, but...very expensive.
This raises the level of flashiness to a level that is still flashy and practical.
"Outside the city, there are still many refugees who have not yet received their winter clothes, and many people have caught the wind and cold. But you let the Garment Bureau make their flying fish suits first."
"But it looks good, my lord."
"The change of uniforms of my army has just begun. Many soldiers are wearing old armors, and the standards are not uniform. However, you asked the Foundry Bureau to help them cast inner armors that are more time-consuming, laborious and costly."
"But it looks good, my lord."
"They should be the best spies trained by San'er. After they were trained, they left me here to work as security guards."
"But it looks good, my lord."
Zheng Fan nodded,
Laughed,
Road:
"It's really nice."
Zheng Fan clapped his hands,
road;
"Go back."
"Shh! Shh! Shh!"
All of a sudden, all two hundred "Flying Fish Suits" retreated in an orderly manner.
The knife on the shoulder and the sound of the sleeves rubbing together are neat, beautiful and pleasant to the ear.
"This, the number doesn't need to be too much." Zheng Fan said.
"Yes, my subordinate understands."
"In addition, my subordinates have one more thing that needs to be reported. Maybe, my lord, you already know about it."
"Say."
"The princess plans to meet Qu Peiluo today."
"I know, she reported it to me."
"Is the princess planning to follow Dayu'er's example in persuading Hong Chengchou to surrender?"
Zheng Fan shook his head and said: "First of all, Qu Peiluo has surrendered long ago, and secondly, I will not let my woman use sex to recruit subordinates for me.
One is that I can't possibly be willing, and the other is, is Qu Peiluo worthy? "
said,
Zheng Fan took out two cigarettes and handed one to the blind man.
Road:
"The news from the Fan family didn't reach you?"
"News from the Fan family comes directly to the mansion."
Because the Fan family's affairs will involve Ji Chengjue, and how to deal with the relationship with the sixth prince according to the situation, this matter must be left to the master.
Of course,
The most fundamental reason is still that,
The blind man was worried that his master would be bored, so he deliberately left a hole so that his master could have something to do.
"Next time, you'd better integrate these messages and go over them from your side first."
"Yes, my subordinates understand."
"News from the Fan family said that Nian Yao personally led a troop of troops to the outlying counties of the Qu family."
"Oh?" The blind man was slightly surprised, "Is it so fast?"
"The Qingluan Army was first defeated and then surrendered on Qingtan. The Qu family committed the crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. It is natural for him to be punished."
"That's what I said, but Qu's repetition is..." the blind man said, nodded, and said, "Perhaps my subordinates have used too many conspiracies and tricks, so some of these upright things have become dark under the lamp. ."
"So, my brother-in-law probably doesn't plan to start another war in the short term. He seems to be focused on taking the Gou route."
In a short period of time, if you want to gather strength, you must naturally unite all forces.
Just like when the Yan State invaded Jin;
but now,
The uncle seemed to be planning to cut the knot quickly.
Don't say that Qu's family is guilty of serious crimes. It's justifiable to attack him. Even if Qu's family is innocent, you occupy such a large fiefdom and once controlled so many private soldiers.
This,
This is something that is not tolerated by the central government.
"Would the regent of Chu do that, like Emperor Yan did..."
Zheng Fan nodded and said: "I have been in contact with him. How should I put it? The feeling he gave me at that time was really similar to when I met Emperor Yan face to face. Moreover, he should be sure that he can live for a long, long time. I think , this should be related to the spirit sealed in his body.
Moreover, he is too particular about objective rules and too calm when doing things.
In the battle against Chu, after I burned Jingcheng, he immediately lay down and started killing nobles with borrowed swords. Even Yingdu gave up when he said he would, because he wanted to bet Tian Wujing's life.
He was certain that there would be a catastrophe in the Yan-Jin land, and the Yan State's national strength would not allow the scale of the war to continue to expand and continue.
right now,
Since he has already done the first year of junior high school, he will definitely not hesitate for the remaining fifteen years.
First, destroy the Qu family in the name of righteous punishment.
Then use other means, not even so concerned about food and status, to further clean up the great nobles who have been hollowed out. After centralizing power, they can develop patiently and wait for the opportunity.
Words,
I will never live like him, completely without passion or emotion. "
"Then, Your Majesty, you asked the princess to go there because you wanted to send troops to help the Qu family?"
"The Fan family's land and the Mengshan land are my bottom line, and they are also written in the agreement. In fact, the Qu family didn't mention it at all in the agreement.
This is an exchange,
it's me,
I sold Qu Peiluo, who was defeated and surrendered to me.
In exchange,
It is the Fan family and Mengshan that continue to maintain their independence.
I believe that my uncle understands my bottom line. "
Zheng Fan blew out a smoke ring and shook out the ashes.
Road:
"The most important thing is that after Lao Tian and the main force of the Jingnan Army withdrew from the east of Shanxi, it is now impossible for us to launch an offensive against Chu alone, let alone rescue the Qu family.
even,
It's not good to say,
Even the Chu people really want to take back the small piece of Fan family territory, but we are beyond our reach.
but,
If he touches the Fan family,
Then I will definitely let Jin Shuke do something in Shanggu County, so that everyone will no longer live in peace and will even engage in war horse smuggling business;
I will ask Jin Shuke to continuously send small groups of cavalry out of Shanggu County to harass the territory of Chu State and create obstacles for him. "
"My subordinates cannot see as far and as clearly as you, my lord, in matters of military affairs."
"So, the reason why I agreed to let the princess go to see Qu Peiluo is... I want to let him go. Let him go back now."
Speaking of which,
A faint smile appeared on Mr. Zheng's face,
"I will ask A Cheng to separate some of the prisoners of the Qingluan Army and let Qu Peiluo take them back together. When he goes back, he should be able to see the Qu family's ancestral hall, which was burned down by Nian Yao, and the Qu family's people were slaughtered. An empty scene.”
"Your Majesty, do you think that Qu Peiluo will rebel against the Chu court and take revenge? But my subordinates feel that after seeing a filial son too many times, it seems that this kind of thing is no longer certain."
The hatred of genocide is irreconcilable;
It stands to reason that this should be the case, but in reality, there have been many counterexamples.
As for the regent of Dachu, that person, with his courage in doing things, would really destroy the entire clan while continuing to promote Qu Peiluo, as long as he was useful.
"So, I asked him to take some prisoners of the Qingluan Army back. You must know that most of the people in the Qingluan Army are actually members of the Qu family and generations of slaves of the Qu family.
He, Qu Peiluo, could endure the hatred of one person, but how could he endure the hatred of that group of people? "
Zheng Fan threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it with the sole of his boot.
"Who said we can't send any more troops now? We can only throw another fly into my uncle's bowl. Let Qu Peiluo, the young master of the Qu family, carry the pillar again after he returns. Under the banner of the country, summon the remnants of the nobles who will be liquidated next and give him something to do."
"Let the Fan family give them some support?" the blind man said, "This is really interesting."
The former relationship between master and slave,
After going around in circles,
The slave wants to help the master.
“The reason why Emperor Yan stepped on the throne so neatly was because he not only controlled the two most powerful armies of Yan with the support of the two marquises;
The main reason is that Dayan won a series of victories in the subsequent external wars, successfully improving its prestige and at the same time diverting internal conflicts.In fact, at that time, you and I could both see and understand that once the external war was thwarted, the internal chaos of the Yan Kingdom would immediately turn into chaos.
Now look at it, Zuo Jiqian has been promoted to a guerrilla general in my place, but he was born as a prisoner of a powerful family.
As for my uncle, haha, where can he divert the conflict?
never possible,
Let's go and fight Qian Guo? "
……
The military stronghold of the Royal Imperial Army appeared on the edge of the Qu family's fiefdom.
In the past, this was actually a huge provocation.
Because in terms of political status, the private fiefdoms of the great nobles are sacred. The great nobles recognize the Xiong family as the royal family, but the great Chu world was conquered by them and the Xiong family. Naturally, they have to sit together.
It's just that your bench is taller and ours is shorter.
It is not that nobility has declined, been annexed, and abolished. It is not that the emperor of Chu has never wanted to strengthen the centralization of power and suppress the nobility. It is not even that there has been no success at all;
But first of all, the nobles have an instinctive sense of crisis. When necessary, they will know how to unite when the imperial power comes to oppress them;
Secondly, during the transition of imperial power, princes inevitably need support from the nobility, so it often happens that when I was in power, I managed to reduce some of the nobility's fiefdoms and power, and then gave it back when my son succeeded to the throne. .
However, Qu Shi is different after all.
Even if his young master is defeated and surrenders to the Yan people, even if the Qingluan army turns back and becomes the Yan people's servant army,
However, Qu's family is still Qu's family after all.
Its heritage is here, and the prestige of its Zhuguo lineage is here.
Even if it was such a big crime, in the past, it would have been nothing more than three drinks of wine as a penalty, expelling Qu Peiluo from the clan, and disowning this descendant.
In fact,
The Qu family did indeed do this. After learning the news of Qu Peiluo's defeat and surrender, the Qu family's first reaction was to hold a clan meeting. The identity of the direct lineage; and sent a letter to the regent to express Qu's attitude.
then,
When the Yan army, led by Ping Xihou, began to dig the ancestral graves of the nobles, Qu was nervous. For this reason, she also sent someone to contact the Yan army.
Hey, don’t tell me, Marquis Pingxi is very considerate!
After all, the Yan people were powerful at that time, and the capital of Ying was burned by the Yan people. Therefore, Qu sent people to the Yan people to contact the Qingluan Army and Qu Peiluo, and brought letters and greetings.
In short, the meaning is that expelling you from the clan is forced by the current situation. You are still the direct young master of the Qu family, and you are still the good son of the Qu family.
When it comes to placing bets on your enemies, every great nobleman knows this very well.
After the war ended, the peace treaty was concluded, and the Yan people withdrew their troops, the Qu family once again declared the world, reprimanding Qu Peiluo, his unworthy descendant, and forgetting his ancestral lineage.
then,
Mrs. Qu felt that she had done enough, so she also sent a new head of the family elected by the direct line to go to Wang Jia to plead guilty again, crying bitterly to show her loyalty.
The thing is, it's just like this. Isn't that how things have been for hundreds of years?
A big noble, especially one of Qu's stature, even if they are guilty of treason and admit their mistake in the end, that's it. What else do you want?
The Qu people feel that they have done a good job and have a correct attitude. In fact, many Qu people are already saying that they plan to reorganize the Qingluan Army, and then attack the Fan family and take back the Mengshan territory. .
They were not trying to regain lost territory for Chu State, but to regain their own fiefdoms.
then,
A royal imperial army under the banner of a great general,
Appeared on the edge of Qu's fiefdom.
For a time,
The whole Qu clan was panicked. They immediately sent people to the military camp to inquire about the news and asked to see the general, but they were all rejected by the general. Even if the elders of the clan came forward in person, they still could not get Nian Da. Summoned by the general.
The terrifying haze,
The first deep cut came to this area,
Even if the Yan people's troops missed from here, they would not be so depressed.
……
"Do you really want to be so awesome?" Xiong Tingshan asked, sitting in front of the regent.
"Interesting, whose side are you sitting on?" the Prince Regent asked while reviewing the memorial.
"I can't swallow this breath."
"Whether you can swallow it or not, you have to swallow it. In fact, you also know that since my sister-in-law burned Jingcheng, we can't win this battle."
"But, it shouldn't be like this."
"This is the best result. Fifth brother, I hope you can help me. We two brothers will work together to clean up the house thoroughly. After planting a few crops, the granary will be full and the children will start to clean up." Running, jumping and making trouble on the field;
Let's get back all the lost face and lizi. "
"Fourth brother, I feel so panicked in my heart. I didn't expect it to be like this. Really, I didn't expect it to be like this. I thought I could help you and block the Yan people from the north, but you..."
"Okay, okay, let's get to work. Go back to your Wutong County quickly, take charge of the situation, suppress a group of people, and also support a group of people.
Those Shanyue people have been conquered by our Chu people for hundreds of years. Their leaders have long spoken and written Xia characters. To put it bluntly, except for a little difference in appearance, in fact, they are different from our Chu people. What's the real difference?
I can open the door of the imperial court, let them become officials in the imperial court, and let them become our own people. "
hear this,
The former fifth prince of Dachu who married a Shanyue woman and gave birth to several children with Shanyue blood, His Royal Highness Xiong Tingshan clenched his fists and stood up.
almost growled;
"Fourth brother, how dare you do this!"
"Why don't you dare? Fifth brother, I thought that you would be more open-minded than me, and you would even be more happy to see this scene, right?"
"This...this isn't right."
"There is nothing wrong. Can you say that your child is not from Chu?
Learn the words of Xia, write the characters of Xia, and follow the etiquette of Chu. These are the people of Chu. For hundreds of years, we have been making trouble in the south of Chu, and it is time to end.
I,
It’s not that I want to be the emperor of the nobles of Chu.
I want to be the one,
He is the emperor of the entire Chu people.
As long as Southern Xinjiang can be included and the troubles of Shanyue are completely eliminated, the recovery of the national power of Chu will be faster, and even after the recovery, Chu will be even more powerful than before.
It's not good to say,
The land of abundance in the world,
One point is in Yan, one point is in Jin, five points is in Qian, and three points are in Chu. But in fact, those three points are in Chu, and they do not include the southern border of our great Chu.
Let's see how the Yan people are tossing and making trouble,
His family background,
Just that much,
Let him make it,
If you really want to fight,
I,
Don't be afraid of him! "
Xiong Tingshan took a deep breath, bit his lip, and asked a very practical question.
Road:
"Fourth brother, you want to bring the Shanyue people into the dynasty, and you want to suppress the nobles. Those nobles will go crazy, and even the common people will go crazy."
said,
Xiong Tingshan pointed outside,
"Will the Forbidden Army also go crazy?"
In other words,
This is a defeated country, but it has begun to act so violently and aggressively internally. Is your throne still secure?
Hear this question,
The Prince Regent smiled;
Road:
"Actually, you also know that I have always admired the emperor of the Yan Kingdom very much, so I plan to see the wise and admire him."
……
For many days,
None of the Qu clan could see General Nian and could only watch the General's flag flying in the military camp.
The rebuke from the imperial edict and the instigation of troops to accuse people are far more comfortable than this complete silence.
at last,
In the early morning of this day, the royal imperial army was dispatched. They divided into several groups and officially entered the heart of Qu's fiefdom.
The Qu family's fiefdom was very large, and the population was actually quite large, but those with the surname Qu were only a minority after all.
Although the entry of the Royal Imperial Army made the people of the Qu clan panic, the local people seemed very indifferent.
The royal imperial army holding the general's flag drove directly outside the city where the Qu clan's main clan was located.
A eunuch holds an imperial decree,
Go to the front of the army,
Under the watchful eyes of the Qu clan and some private soldiers who had just managed to get together at the top of the city,
The imperial edict was read:
"The Emperor, who was entrusted by heaven, issued an edict: The Qu family has been favored by the country in this life, but did not think about serving the country with loyalty. She surrendered to the enemy in front of the battle, acted as a stooge, and cut herself off from her ancestors, cut herself off from her ancestral hall, and cut herself off from the pillars of the country."
This is a very brief edict,
While reciting this loudly,
The eunuch raised his head,
Looking at the densely packed heads on the city wall,
A cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth,
"His crime should be punished!"
……
Min'an City, located in Minshan Mountain, is a strategically important city. In the early years, this was the boundary of Qi State.
The State of Qi is the heartland of the Xia Dynasty, a country that was divided during the chaotic period after the collapse of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Originally, the Qi State did not intend to get involved in the war in the Central Plains. Because it felt that its opponents were getting stronger and stronger, it simply expanded eastward to bully the Shanyue people there. At the same time, it achieved the purpose of opening up frontiers and expanding the population of the territory.
At that time, the Chu people were actually constantly encroaching on the territory of the Shanyue people. In short, at that time, the Shanyue people were just a slave, and anyone could bully them.
In the end, the two sides bullied each other, leading to a collision. A war broke out between Chu and Qi, but the main force of Qi had to be placed in the west to prevent itself from being annexed by other countries, and this branch of Chu was not The Royal Forbidden Army is a private army sent by a noble family.
Therefore, the scale of the war after the two sides collide is actually not large. Usually, today you take my military stronghold, and tomorrow I occupy one of your military fortresses, and it is a fight, that is, a charge of thousands of people.
Anyway, both sides are currently opening maps and do not have the energy to carry out actual control. Therefore, they just want to show off their military power in front of the local Shanyue people and make the local Shanyue people surrender to themselves instead of the other party.
Later, as the Chu people's momentum to expand to the southwest border became stronger and stronger, more and more manpower, material resources, and military power could be deployed. However, as expected, the Chu State officially attacked Qi State, which did not appear.
Because at that time, Qianguo was born.
Yes, when the Qian Kingdom was just born, it was actually full of martial virtues. Under the leadership of Emperor Taizu of the Qian Kingdom, they destroyed many separatist countries and completed the internal unification. The Qi Kingdom also became the Qian Kingdom's attack force. Object.
Therefore, at that time, the people of Chu actually supported Qi and resisted Qian.
However, the troops and generals of the Qian State at that time were very capable of fighting, and the Qi State was eventually destroyed. For this reason, the Chu and Gan people fought several times on the border.
The Chu people failed to take advantage. The Gan people's own territory was too good. After the loss of Qi, they had no desire to expand externally. At least, they did not intend to fight with Chu Kaiguo for a piece of Shanyue people's territory.
In addition, after the death of Emperor Taizu of the Qian Kingdom, Emperor Taizong was defeated by the first Zhenbei Marquis in his Northern Expedition, which caused the Qian Kingdom's military to languish. Slowly, its southeastern territory was fixed at the Minshan line.
In recent years, although there have been occasional frictions between Qian and Chu on the border, they have all been within control. Most of the time it is because the Chu people are digesting their territory, and the Gan people have accepted the chain reactions caused by some people who escaped from the mountains.
then,
As the Yan people began to use troops externally, the border lines between the two sides became completely quiet.
Minzhou City is a "big city" in the surrounding area, and it is also a nearby distribution center for materials, including the Shanyue people in Chu State. Their so-called "going to the market" actually means bringing mountain goods or other products to Minzhou City for trading.
In the early years, Ganren's military equipment was depleted, and the three sides were severely depleted and depleted, not to mention the not-so-important southeastern border defenders.
Fortunately, cats have their own ways, and mice have their own ways. If the court pays them not enough, the big-headed soldiers can change their appearance and become businessmen.
The first is local mutual trade, and the second is the commission from caravans, which is so-called smuggling. In short, military business was once a traditional skill of the leaders of the Qianguo army.
In this regard, the princes of the past dynasties also turned a blind eye to this. After all, if you really become a "warrior who does not love money", the princes and officials will be even more scared.
Today is the first day of the new year, and as usual it is the day of the meeting.
One by one, the soldiers wearing Ganren armor began to adjust goods and organize the caravans to come in and out. Some young generals were more skillful with abacus than with swords.
A caravan from Chudi came in,
The Gan soldiers dispersed the Shanyue tribesmen blocking the road and allowed the caravan to come in. Each one of them had flowers on their faces and was obviously happy.
They knew that when the Yan people attacked Chu, the Chu people were severely beaten. Many nobles had their families destroyed, and even their ancestral graves were dug up by the Marquis of Pingxi.
Therefore, the nobles of the Chu State who were seriously injured were in urgent need of blood. Therefore, the goods would be better and the price would be cheaper, just to ship the goods as soon as possible and reap the benefits.
It is profitable for Qian Ren. Who doesn't have his own business behind his back?Even if it is not open, it is still responsible for a share of business here for the big shots from Shangjing.
This kind of business, where the other party is eager to take action, is naturally more profitable.
even,
For the ownership of this Chu Di caravan, several generals actually pulled their subordinates and started fighting directly.
Because they know in their hearts that no matter who eats this batch of goods, they will definitely make a lot of money.
The scene was once very chaotic.
It stands to reason,
As a military town, Minzhou City would not be degraded like this. At least, a certain level of decency must be maintained.
But the problem is,
In the past two years, the imperial court has deployed troops from here twice to strengthen the three sides.
Those who are thorny, those who still have some dreams, those who are not willing to join in the trouble, and those who are really capable of leading troops and making a difference, have all been squeezed out by local interests.
Therefore,
The current Minzhou City is a trading city on the southeastern border of Qian Kingdom.
at this time,
The shopkeeper of Chudi Caravan, who had been stuffing money here and there to pass the customs with a smile on his face, suddenly took out a fire letter and pulled it open.
"Whoosh!"
next moment,
The caravan guys and the Shanyue people who came to the market today all took out their weapons and attacked the Ganren defenders in the city.
outside the city,
A well-organized Chu army emerged and charged towards Minzhou City.
Along the southeastern boundary of Qianchu, similar scenes happened in many places at the same time.
In a military stronghold,
General Nian Yaonian, who was suppressed by Jingnan Wang Tian Wujing for a long time at Zhennanguan and did not dare to let out a fart,
Walked out of the handsome tent,
today,
Old age finally fucks people,
I found the joy of being a general again.
Looking at the beacon rising in front,
The old man stretched himself carelessly,
Subsequently,
He spat heavily on the ground,
scolded;
"Straight bitch, intercourse is called fighting, intercourse is called fighting!"
