The devil is coming

Chapter 661 The Iron Horse Glacier Comes Into a Dream
Gong Wang raised his head,
He glanced at Mr. Zheng,
Then his eyes fell on the peeled peanuts in the palm of Lord Zheng.
Come, eat peanuts;
In other words,
You can eat what I give you; you can't eat what I don't give you.
If Mr. Zheng Hou was in Fengxin City at this time, waiting for me to go to the Hou Mansion to meet him alone, Gong Wang's heart would not be so violently shaken;
But just like this scene before me,
It's almost like the fat peanut has had its "red makeup" blown away in front of her eyes, leaving only the white and tender appearance.
This is what he, Gong Wang, looks like now.
Originally, it was impossible to resist. Only by honestly shrinking your head could you continue to live your life.
The Yan people defeated Cheng Guo's rebellion, defeated the barbarians, and just burned the Chu capital of Ying;
Regardless of whether the people of Yan are in dire straits now, at least Dayan's cavalry has proven its unparalleled combat power.
He, Gong Wang, had never thought about raising the flag at this time and doing something to cheer up the people of Jin.
It’s not that he, Gong Wang, is determined and will swear to be loyal to Dayan and the Ji family for the rest of his life. This is obviously unrealistic;
Because even Pingxi Houye himself cannot do this.
But if you say you want to do something, there must be some direction, some change in the external environment, right?
To rebel now is to bring about self-destruction. You think this life is not comfortable enough. Do you want the whole family to gather on the guillotine?
Gong Wang had some confidence in his heart before. The confidence to be a general did not come from the support of the court or the popularity of the people. Because they had experienced the baptism of killing on the battlefield, they knew better that the strength of the soldiers and horses under their command was their own. A true foundation for establishing oneself.
just,
When he, the commander-in-chief, was in the commander's tent,
Marquis Pingxi made him unaware,
Just sitting here.
Looking at the peanut shells on the ground, it was obvious that they had been eating and sitting for a while.
No scolding,
No tantrums,
There is no coercion;
Everyone knows the fury of thunder, and the women in the folk alleys also know who has the louder voice to be more powerful in a quarrel;
But the rain and dew, in twos and threes, bit by bit, can win but there are countless thunders;
unfortunately,
There are very few people in the world who know how to use it and are qualified to use it.
His biggest support was trampled under the feet of the other party.
Gong Wang opened his mouth,
Not to talk,
But waiting to catch peanuts,
wait,
Being fed.
Lord Zheng lowered his head and looked at him for a long time.
finally,
Lord Zheng stretched out his other hand, patted Gong Wang's shoulder, and lifted it up.
Road:
"stand up."
Gong Wang didn't dare to disobey and stood up immediately.
"Take it."
Gong Wang hurriedly spread his hands and took the peanut that fell over in Zheng Houye's palm.
There is actually no essential difference between civil servants and military generals.
If you do it for a long time, it will be easy to fail, and slowly, you will become a bureaucracy.
A bureaucrat's face is more durable than the rag used to clean the table. After washing it, it becomes white. But if you don't wash it for a long time and leave it there black and white, if you don't feel disgusted, it doesn't mean you can't continue to use it; but some people are still keen on it. This is called thick black science.
But Lord Zheng couldn't use the same method he used to deal with the officials in Yingdu City to deal with his generals.
because,
He also expected them to fight for him in the future.
If you really disgrace him, this general will be useless, and your subordinates will no longer be able to obey you;
Since you don't plan to do the most extreme thing, there is no need to go beyond the point and focus on the main contradiction when you focus on the problem.
Of course, the most important thing is that Gong Wang's posture is still very upright.
"Peanuts are not worth the hunger." Mr. Zheng said.
"Master Hou, there is food in the handsome tent. If Master Hou doesn't mind it..."
"Let's go, what are you waiting for?"
Lord Zheng stood up from his chair and walked straight to the handsome tent.
At the same time, a figure in white followed Lord Zheng, it was the Sword Master.
Gong Wang would not dare to take any chances, nor would he take desperate risks;
But Lord Zheng always likes to be absolutely foolproof when it comes to his own safety.
Entering the handsome tent,
Lord Zheng naturally sat down on the handsome seat.
There were all the dishes and chopsticks on the table that Gong Wang had used.There is another pair next to it, which the guards had prepared for Gong Lin to use together.
Lord Zheng picked up the bowls and chopsticks. When Gong Wang and Gong Lin walked in, Lord Zheng had already started.
There were only four people in the handsome tent;
The rest of the people are outside.
After entering the tent, Gong Wang sensibly knelt down again.
Outside the tent earlier, he knew that the Marquis had saved face for himself.
Don't look at yourself kneeling, don't look at yourself lying down. Sometimes, being willing to scold you, willing to scold you, and willing to embarrass you is actually a kind of love and care. Of course, the heat cannot be too high, otherwise you will be burned to death. .
With the current status of Marquis Pingxi, he kicked himself several times and scolded him. As long as he didn't go in the wrong direction, the people below him wouldn't feel that he was wronged.
Gong Lin saw her father kneeling down again, so she could only kneel down along with him.
Lord Zheng turned to look at the sword master beside him and said:
"Do you eat?"
The sword master shook his head, took out a stick, and ate it slowly.
"Are you polite?" Mr. Zheng said with a smile.
The sword master said: "The food is not enough."
Upon hearing this, the palace watcher below immediately raised his head and said:
"The general will let people prepare now..."
"No need."
Lord Zheng put down his chopsticks, looked around, and finally wiped his hands on a wolfskin blanket placed behind Gong Wangshuai's desk.
At the same time:
"This dish is really not delicious. There are too few oils, water and condiments. It is tasteless and tasteless."
Gong Wang immediately said:
"What the Marquis is talking about is, how can the army cook here at the end of the General's army be compared with the rear chef in your house, Marquis?"
But Lord Zheng smiled and said:
"That's not the truth. In fact, when it comes to cooking, it's very difficult and not easy to make it taste good. It requires effort; but it's easy to make it not so unpalatable.
With enough various ingredients and enough oil and water pipes, even if you throw a boot in and cook it, it will still taste delicious.
Gong Wang,
You are very gratifying to me,
You are a good general. "
"Master Hou, I don't dare to be the last general."
"No, you can afford it. Look, Yingdu will send you extra money and food every season. This is such a big fortune, but you don't have to spend it on your own enjoyment. You can even eat like this. The lack of care must have been used on the soldiers.
This,
What is a good general? "
"Pfft!"
Gong Wang's forehead hit the ground of the commander's tent heavily, and he was sweating profusely.
The Marquis is not the emperor;
But in eastern Shanxi,
He is a well-deserved local emperor!
In the former case, the Zhenbei Hou Mansion almost regarded Beifeng County as its own fiefdom, and adopted the barbarian tribes as eagles and dogs at its side;
Then Prince Jingnan refused to accept the order, and the two red-robed eunuchs stained the stone lions with blood. They even kicked the defeated eldest prince over, and the eldest prince had to kneel back and continue to admit his mistake.
Therefore, under the Marquis Mansion, it was not like when Zheng Fan and Xu Wenzu were in Nanwang City, where the simple superior-subordinate relationship was all subordinate to the imperial court;
The Hou Mansion has its own yamen and its own operating system, which is an independently operating sphere of influence.
"Ugh."
Lord Zheng sighed,
He tapped his fingers lightly on the table,
road;
"Gong Wang."
"In the end...sin will remain."
"Is it because I put you here and didn't give you either Xueguan or Zhennanguan, so you have resentment in your heart?"
"The last general will not dare, the last general will not dare."
"Then look at what you have done yourself. It's not that I am a small-minded person who doesn't allow his subordinates to rely on their own abilities and favors to get their hands on things;
But you yourself can't wipe your eyes and see who is sending you money and food, who is selling you favors?
Correct,
That is the palace of your Jin people.
That is the emperor of your former Jin Dynasty,
But your palace looks up to me and I look up,
Here today,
Whose world is it?
Why are you so stupid?
Eat people with soft mouths and short hands with others,
Why would the prince risk such a big deal to curry favor with you?
Just don't think about it,
What kind of day can the Prince Cheng's Mansion continue to be passed down? It is an Ansheng day, a day of duty!
But now that the palace dares to reach out to you, is this how you want to live your life?
And if the palace no longer has its duty, what will it do? What else can it do?
By the time,
When he was an adult, Situ Yu raised his arms and called on the people with lofty ideals in Jin to resist, expel the Yan captives, and return our mountains and rivers.
you,
Palace view,
Should we still take advantage of the trend and raise troops?
Come and chop off my head! "
"A crime that will end in death, a crime that will end in death!"
Gong Wang's body was shaking. He was not pretending. He was indeed a veteran on the battlefield, but the man sitting in front of him who was scolding him was much higher than him in terms of military qualifications.
The most important thing is that he heard the murderous intention rising in the words of the Marquis.
Lord Zheng stood up, walked out from behind the handsome desk, and said slowly:
"Do you know this? Who told me about this? It was Xu Wenzu, the new governor of Yingdu.
What happened in Yingdu these days,
Did you hear the news?
We are not saying anything false, but the imperial court feels that some Jin people and nobles in Yingdu are living too comfortable and crazy, so they need to have people come down and trim them so that Jin people know, Who has the final say in Jindi now?
You know,
When Xu Wenzu told me about you,
What does he mean? "
Gong Wang didn't dare to answer.
"Prefect Xu's idea is very simple. He was born in Jin Dynasty and colluded with the palace. It's a bit troublesome for the palace to start moving now. After all, it won't sound good if word spreads about orphans and widowers.
But cutting off the claws of the palace is the right thing to do, right?
palace claws,
what do you say? "
"I really have no objection. I have always been loyal to the Marquis. I was just confused for a moment."
Gong Lin also pleaded:
"Master Hou, my father just..."
Lord Zheng raised his hand to signal the father and son to shut up, and they immediately fell silent.
"In my eyes, there is actually no distinction between Yan and Jin. My idea is very simple. We all shouldered the sword together, rushed through the killing together, and finally climbed out of the pile of dead people. From now on, we will naturally work harder. Son, let's live a better life.
Grant the title of wife and son, grant the title of marquis and pay homage to the king;
It's really not impossible, and it's definitely not far-fetched.
The Hou Mansion now has a large territory, but only the three gates are somewhat popular.
We have to open up wasteland, we have to mine, we have to train troops, we have to forge armor,
Is this prince an idle person?
Is this prince a person who covets comfort?
But I am waiting now until the troops and horses are ready and the food and grass are sufficient;
after that,
No matter how submissive the snowfield savages are, and no matter how forbearing the Chu people are, if we want to fight, is it possible that we still can’t find an excuse?
Military merit, military title,
Waiting,
Will there be a shortage?
So I can’t figure it out.
Have you entered Wangjiang's water in your mind? How could you be so confused! "
"The last one will be guilty. The last one will live up to the Marquis's expectations and hard work. The last one will be guilty!"
"Get up."
"Here!"
Gong Wang stood up.
Zheng Fan walked down and came to Gong Wang, stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder:
"Don't take the wrong path again. I really like this child Gong Lin."
"The end will understand, the end will understand."
"There has always been a short savage beside me. He helped me take care of a lot of things in the snowfield. Well, now he is also in charge of a whole town of soldiers and horses to guard Fengxin City."
"Yes, the general knows that he is..."
"He is the Savage King." Zheng Fan said calmly.
Gong Wang's eyes widened immediately.
Seeing her father stand up, the atmosphere in the handsome tent relaxed a bit, so Gong Lin, who stood up slowly, trembled at the knees and knelt down again.
"I said I don't care about Yan and Jin. It's true. You see, I'm a barbarian. As long as they are loyal to me and can be used by me, I don't care about my origin.
We have fought in Xueyuan and the Kingdom of Chu, and won both. There will still be wars to fight in the future.
I have no other abilities.
But I still have the confidence to lead everyone to continue to enjoy spicy food.
You are from Jin,
what happened again?
Compared with that person, we are all from Xia, and we ourselves are a family.
My patience is not good,
I was in a hurry to go back home, but after being away for a long time, I felt homesick, but I ended up coming to your place for a walk.
next time,
I am too lazy to run away. "
"Please rest assured, Lord Marquis, the general will understand."
Lord Zheng nodded,
"Oh, by the way, I'll take your adopted son away."
"No need, Lord Marquis, I will never..."
"They sold you and showed their loyalty to me. How could I treat him badly? Don't blame me. He actually wanted to save you.
It is much better for him to bring me in than if I bring my own troops and horses. "
"Yes, the general understands that the whole army will only serve to command the marquis. It was the past, it is now, and it will be the same in the future!"
"Gong Wang, remember what you just said. If one day in the future, my order comes down and you need to weigh it, I hope you will not be confused."
said,
Lord Zheng reached out and touched the head of Gong Lin who was kneeling on the ground.
"Do you still remember what you said to me when you entered the commander's tent earlier?"
"Remember, Lord Marquis, I said that if my father persists in his stubbornness, I will personally..."
Zheng Fan interrupted him,
road;
"Your father can't do that. Your father will be confused about small things, but when it comes to big things, your father is always very clear-headed.
okay,
I have gone back, so don’t send me away.
Oh.
correct,
If I receive twenty whips myself, I will always feel unhappy if I don't give you a beating. "
"Thank you, Lord!"
Zheng Fan left the military camp, surrounded by personal guards and escorting cavalry;
In the inner circle, there were only Zheng Fan riding Pixiu and Sword Master riding a horse.
The Savage King and the others went back early to beat the palace guards without the help of others. If they couldn't even deal with this, then the bloody storm they had experienced in the past few years would have been in vain.
"Do you know what I was thinking when I stood behind you and looked at you in the military camp?"
"What are you thinking about?" Zheng Fan asked.
"Do you feel that you are becoming more and more like Tian Wujing, sitting on a chair peeling peanuts?"
said,
The sword master shook his head again and revised his words:
"No, Tian Wujing is not like you. In fact, you are obviously better and better at..."
Pity,
The Juggernaut didn't know the word "pretentious".
“In the past, I felt that I was imitating and learning from Lao Tian, ​​but slowly, I realized that it was not the case anymore.
This is like the military meritorious prince of Dayan. It is not just because of your title that people fear you and you can be aloof;
But because you have accumulated so many military exploits and strength in advance, you have naturally taken this position. People have actually started to respect you for a long time.
And me,
It's very similar to Lao Tian in some places.
Lao Tian doesn't care about many things, but I am too lazy to do many things.
but,
One thing is different,
I won't be another Lao Tian,
Not until death.
Lao Yu..."
"Well, you said."
"I have always been grateful in my heart. I can open my eyes again and look at the sun again. Even if it is a little different, I am still grateful.
The more grateful you are, the more you cherish it,
The more unbearable it is.
After finally coming to the human world, I want to take a good stroll. "
"You keep talking."
"Ok?"
“I feel like I’m on the verge of another epiphany.”
"Ha ha."
Zheng Fan turned around and looked behind him. Not far away, there was Wangjiang, which was already thawing.
"Spring is almost here."
"Yes." The sword master nodded, "It's another reincarnation, another four seasons, and the days really don't pass by. Spring is about to begin now, but I seem to be able to predict that when winter comes next time, I will I sighed: Hey, it’s the Chinese New Year again.”
"Ha ha ha ha."
Zheng Fan laughed.
reach out,
Point to the west,
The Pixiu under the crotch seemed to sense the mood swings from its owner, and began to move its hooves restlessly.
"Lao Yu, I also have a hunch."
"Oh?"
“Next time, when I cross Wangjiang to the west, everything will look completely different.
This is Jindong,
This is the land of the Three Jins,
This big swallow,
Even the whole world,
They will all turn over a new page. "
said,
Zheng Fan closed his eyes,
Road:
"I had a dream last night, guess what I dreamed about."
"There is a poem written by you in the school, and the iron horse and the ice river come to sleep?"
Zheng Fan shook his head.
The sword master guessed again:
"Lead the army and take over Yingdu?"
Zheng Fan shook his head again.
"Haha, led the army and took over Yanjing City?"
Zheng Fan opened his mouth and said:
"I dreamed that my three daughters-in-law were all pregnant."

Today is just one chapter, because a new volume will be opened at the beginning of the next chapter, and the plot and rhythm, including the foreshadowing and foreshadowing made before, will begin to emerge, so I have to refine some ideas and details for the new volume.
Then, ask for monthly votes so that we can rank as high as possible.
