The devil is coming

Chapter 974 There is no more Savage King in the world!
Liu Dahu held the food box and stood silently by the side.
In Fengxin City, he met a man named Qiu, known as Boss Qiu. He was a man who made his fortune in business. Whenever there was a Daqing in the palace, he would take out the goods in stock and share them with some people in Fengxin City. The common people congratulate the palace and congratulate the prince.
This man has a hobby, which is collecting antiques.
Why does Liu Dahu know him?
Because Boss Qiu often sends people to deliver rice, flour, grain and oil to his grandmother’s sisters-in-law who are responsible for cleaning the streets, to thank them for their contribution to the cleanliness of Fengxin City;
At the same time, he also hinted that he likes to play with some ancient items. If you have some at home, you can bring them to him.
Gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times;
Today's Jindong has just ended the troubled times. In fact, antiques and other objects are not valuable in the eyes of ordinary people. In addition, Jindong has repeatedly used troops abroad in recent years and looted a large number of them, especially back then. His own prince even dug the ancestral graves of countless nobles in the Chu region;
Gold, silver and jewelry are easy to circulate, but antiques and other items have really dropped in price. The palace itself knows how to use them, but how much can the palace use?
Take it and give it to others...they don't think it's valuable.
Therefore, a large number of antiques have long been lost among the people.
Grandma Liu Dahu and her sisters-in-law were either working as errands or serving in the military. There was really no shortage of these items in the house, and Boss Qiu was very happy to receive them.
Liu Dahu was once asked by his grandmother to take the pickle jar at home and sell it to Boss Qiu...
Although Liu Dahu remembered that he bought this pickle jar from the shop below the palace when he was very young;
But Boss Qiu still accepted it and gave him a sum of money, saying that he liked it very much.
Then, he took Liu Dahu to chat for a long time, mainly talking about his own preference for antiques.
He said that people who really like antiques do not do it for money, but for the taste when they are placed in front of their eyes. If the wine is left outside for a long time, the alcohol smell will dissipate, but antiques are different. The longer they are, the mellower they become.
After selling the pickle jar, we chatted happily again and had a small dinner. Liu Dahu gained a lot of insights.
After coming back, he went to the relevant police officer in charge of investigation in Jinyi Guards and reported Boss Qiu.
But Boss Qiu has always been fine.
Continue to do good deeds in Fengxin City, continue to collect antiques in Fengxin City, and maybe continue to tell his stories in Fengxin City;
But a few months ago,
When Liu Dahu was helping to review the folders sent from Fengxin City and the folders sent by Xu An, the military discipline officer, he saw Boss Qiu's name with a red check mark.
Although Boss Qiu is gone,
But Liu Dahu always kept in mind Boss Qiu's attitude towards antiques.
Sometimes Chen Xianba and Zheng Man may not understand why Liu Dahu still insists on staying with the prince as secretary despite the colorful military life outside.
Self-knowledge is all false. The fundamental reason is that Liu Dahu likes this kind of job where he can always follow the prince;
Maybe, the prince is that kind of "curio", and he can see that kind of mellowness in the prince.
In the eyes of Liu Dahu, the regent who everyone admired in Dayan was also a human being. However, this "person" did not lose its color because he was a human being. On the contrary, it became more real and pure.
Liu Dahu didn't know the word charisma, but that's probably what it meant.
The prince sees the world in his eyes, and I can just look at the prince.
In fact, for Zheng Fan, he actually has a lot of time to simply relax, and he is not as busy as rumors say;
However, if you are pretentious when you have a lot of free time, you will look sick;
On the contrary, it is this feeling of taking a break from the busy schedule that can truly enter samadhi.
After finishing one steamed bun,
By the way, he also ate the steamed buns that he had put aside as an "offering" to Lao Tian so as not to waste them. After finishing the two steamed buns, he waved to Liu Dahu and thoughtfully brought him a water bag.
After drinking some water, Zheng Fan reached out and patted his armor.
In Liu Dahu's eyes, Dayan's regent is back again;
His eyes became profound again, and his temperament became majestic again.
Of course, Zheng Fan didn't know what Liu Dahu was thinking about at this time. He had a lot of things to be busy with now, such as personally inspecting the city wall again.
On this night, the prince in black armor kept walking past the city guards. Although he did not greet each of them cordially or pat their shoulders, he already gave them endless fighting spirit.
Whether an army is elite or not is not reflected in fighting with a favorable wind. When the wind is favorable, a group of pigs can also run like thousands of galloping horses;
The real elite is that in the face of adversity, they can still lick their wounds while maintaining the wolfish nature in their eyes.
Although the Yan army was defeated, it was defeated on the south bank of the Wei River, retreated across the river, and was defeated many times in Shanggu County. Now, the overall defense line has retreated to the Zhennanguan line;
But this kind of failure is not a damage to the established system.
Because the regent had no intention of resisting seriously from the beginning, the subsequent battles between the army and the Chu army only slowed down the Chu army's advance, providing a large number of civilians and auxiliary troops on the front with the opportunity to retreat calmly. Chance.
At the beginning, the Chu army did not expect that the war would progress so smoothly. Even though they were confident that they had absolute superiority in local battlefield strength, they did not take any extreme measures to advance. Therefore, they did not use the precious cavalry of the Chu people. From the beginning, they made diagonal moves and destroyed their own cavalry to complete a strategic encirclement that was successful but not very successful.
Back then, Lao Tian liked to play this game the most. No matter what happened, I would give you a detour first;
Usually there are only three generals who perform this kind of military mission, General Shengle, Ping Yebo and Ping Xihou.
These three, it's fair, take turns.
All in all, the Yan army's defeat was purely a battle loss. It was because they were afraid of being surrounded by the Chu army's superior force after the confrontation, so they took the initiative to break away and retreat.
The casualties were not small, but from the perspective of a commander, there was nothing to regret.
In war, people will die. It is indeed too extreme to regard human life as a pure number, but normal casualties are just ordinary.
Tan Dayong met the prince tonight, and was lucky enough to be patted on the shoulder by the prince. After the prince left, the people around him cast envious eyes on him. Tan Dayong was also enthusiastic, wishing that Chu Nu would attack the city now, and he would fight for it. The prince will kill more Chu slaves.
When it was almost dawn, Zheng Fan's inspection came to an end. However, he did not go back to the mansion to catch up on his sleep. Instead, he returned to the tower where he first stayed.
There were more Chu camps in the vast expanse than last night. At the same time, we could clearly see the large-scale mobilization of the Chu army. They were already moving the battlefield.
When seeing this scene, it can be clearly concluded that the Chu army must have moved forward at a position on both wings that is invisible to the naked eye.
It’s common sense to remove the scales from your fish before cooking it.
"Chu people are really impatient."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Liu Dahu agreed.
"Dahu, what do you think we should do?"
"The soldiers and horses on both sides of Zhennanguan..."
"Want to continue fighting and retreat?"
"No, my subordinates feel that the soldiers and horses on both wings should be ordered to fight to the death. Only in this way can the Chu army be more motivated, so that their central army can let their rear army press forward more quickly and aggressively, so that they can Their main force has gone deeper into Shanggu County."
"People will die, many people will die." Zheng Fan looked at Liu Dahu with a meaningful smile on his lips.
Liu Dahu licked his lips:
"My lord, this battle is a success. From now on, there will be no need to continue to die."
"Give me the order, order the soldiers and horses on both sides of the pass to fight to the death and not retreat."
"Here!"
Zheng Fan reached out and touched the middle layer of his armor's chest, realizing that his cigarette was with Liu Dahu, who had just gone to give him the order.
"Um……"
The Prince Regent placed his hands on the battlements, feeling the coldness on them in the early morning.
But the colder the feeling, the more fiery the foreshadowing can be imagined.
A Ming emerged from the shadows, took out an iron box from his clothes, and handed over a cigarette.
"I thought you weren't here." Zheng Fan smiled.
"The Sword Master is not here, how could his subordinates not be here?"
Zheng Fan nodded and lit the cigarette with the fire seal delivered by A Ming.
"My lord, my wine jars and bottles have been emptied."
"I'm impatient. I have to wait a few more days."
"I understand, but the hunger before a full meal is actually an expectation of enjoyment. I am in a very happy mood now."
"It's nice to have you around, really."
"My subordinate suddenly felt a little flattered."
"Because if you want to maintain the style of life, it's best to have a pervert around you all the time."
"Look, my lord, the Chu people's catapult has been pushed up."
"Oh, I didn't see it."
"My subordinate's eyesight is better than that of my Lord."
"Oh, I'm hungry. Let's see what Si Niang has prepared for breakfast today."
……
"You two major generals, why don't you have an appetite?"
Gou Moli was eating a big meal, looking at Chen Xianba and Tiantian sitting in front of him, feeling a little sluggish.
I'm fine every day, except when I'm particularly excited, I'm basically very gentle the rest of the time;
Chen Xianba is different, his character is easily written on his face.
In fact, Gou Moli felt a little pity for Chen Xianba. He had the ability to control his subordinates and had a discerning eye for talents. In his opinion, Chen Xianba was more suitable for the royal family in the early stages of starting a business.
Go, go, go, go, go, go, fight back again and again, a bit similar to the trajectory of Jin Shuke at the beginning.
Let his unruly character and talent be completely and finally shaped through real beatings. Only after the star seeds are tempered and refined can they truly shine.
Pity,
Today's Wangfu, today's Dayan, cannot provide Chen Xianba with such a chaotic scene.
Although it's not bad now, it's not bad at all, but I just feel that it lacks some meaning because of the heat and the inexplicable process.
In the end, do times create heroes, or do heroes push times?
Who can tell clearly.
Tiantian said, "It's Gou Shuai, you're very hungry. You've already eaten your fourth bowl."
"Hahahaha, yes, yes, I'm very hungry."
Gou Moli handed the bowl to the guard beside him and ordered: "Put another bowl in."
"You have never experienced times when you had nothing to eat. When I was a kid, I was often hungry."
Tiantian blinked, he had never been hungry.
Chen Xianba had nothing to say. Although he grew up in a fishing village and the conditions were not very good when he was a child, he had a family and a master by his side, and he had never experienced famine.
"I was hungry even when I was in jail." Gou Moli continued to sigh.
The sword master sitting next to him smiled and said: "When you were in jail at Xuehaiguan, you were not short of food and drink."
Gou Moli retorted: "I have been in jail for too many times. Furthermore, when I was in jail at Xuehaiguan, I had no shortage of food and drink, but I would rather live in a water prison without food and drink. Sometimes I still feel a little scared when I think about the scene at that time." .”
At that time, Gou Moli was locked in a secret room, and there was a zombie living next door. For a period of time, Gou Moli was attacked by evil spirits every day, and his spirit almost collapsed. It was a kind of mental torture that transcended physicality;
Fortunately, he is the Savage King. If it had been anyone else, he would have gone crazy.
At this time, Chen Xianba said: "Commander, the Chu army in the north..."
"Leave it alone, how much food can they bring to take a detour? Even if they intercept a batch of food and grass from me and escort it, I have already arranged it in advance. There are a lot of miscellaneous things, but not much food.
There is still a famine over there.
Before, it was them who blocked me from going north; now, it is us who blocked them, preventing them from returning south as a lone army.
Now that I have food and time, I will spend time with them slowly. "
"What about the one in the south..." Chen Xianba organized his words, "Xie Zhuyang in the south?"
"General Liang is still acting. I don't know if Xie Zhuyang has discovered the truth now. Don't worry, he will discover the truth very slowly, because he was the first to get to the gambling table. That's how human nature is.
However, even if he found out that he was the one who fell into the trap he had set up, he would not dare to take the initiative. The wisest choice would be to return to Guyue City immediately to preserve hope.
It's not his character to show off his bravery in a moment. If that's the case, then it's not bad. Let's just have a good time here with him and give our prince a happy meatball. . "
A new portion of rice arrived. Gou Moli took the bowl and continued to cook the rice with pickles. After taking two bites, he suddenly put down his chopsticks again and looked at the two major generals intently.
Look at Chen Xianba, then look at Tiantian;
Look at Tiantian, then look at Chen Xianba;
Seeing both of them, they both didn’t know how to adapt.
Gou Moli said with a smile: "Logically speaking, now is a good opportunity. Send two lines of cavalry and just wear Xie Zhuyang like this, so that he cannot bring his Xie family army back to Guyue City safely and safely, giving us this While gathering troops and horses to buy time, it is really possible to suffocate the last Zhuguo of Chu, and even his Xie Jiajun."
"But the general said there are no soldiers." Tiantian replied.
Chen Xianba scratched his head and said: "The general's soldiers and horses are scattered. There is no time to gather them now. Even if they gather some of them, the soldiers and horses will be exhausted."
Originally, Chen Xianba and Tiantian had soldiers and horses in their hands. After all, it had been snowballing for so long, but when Liang Cheng came, they took them away directly, and the two of them suddenly became the food transportation supervisors.
"The general doesn't have it, but uncle Gou, I do."
Chen Xianba looked at Gou Moli, and then looked at the surrounding military camp, the extremely depressed and exhausted military morale...
Tiantian could talk a little and said, "But the soldiers and horses under your command, Commander-in-Chief, are already very tired."
Forced to pull a tired army, they can only kill people.
"It's easy to do."
Gou Moli took out a short recorder from his pocket and started playing.
After a while, the two star guides who had fallen asleep in the handsome tent woke up. The bodies of the man and the woman were still a little stiff, but they still walked behind Gou Moli.
Gou Moli put down his recorder,
road;
"Gather them together."
"Yes, King."
"Yes, King."
The two star guides walked into the military camp.
Gou Moli looked at the two major generals and said:
"When singing on this stage, in order to prevent unexpected events, we have to prepare a small corner below that can take over in case of any situation. The same is true for fighting, and we must reserve a fresh force.
I happen to have one here. They have been resting since they were sent out from Fancheng. They have never been in battle. They just walk around and get soaked in the rain. This is where..."
Gou Moli reached out and knocked on his head.
"In terms of spirit and spirit, there is no problem. If you give an order, you can die at any time and regard it as a place of glory.
Come, come, come with me, come with me. "
Gou Moli stood up and pulled Chen Xianba and Tiantian to the center of the military stronghold.
The two star guides were already standing there, and at the same time, groups of savage soldiers gathered here.
Nearby, there were many savage soldiers looking at this scene in confusion. They had not received any notification from the upper peak. At the same time, they did not know why these savage soldiers like themselves were gathered there.
Several boxes were piled up;
Gou Moli stood on the box and looked at the soldiers gathered in front of him. They numbered five thousand.
Tiantian and Chen Xianba stood behind Gou Moli, not knowing what Gou Moli was going to do, and the appearance of these savage soldiers was no different from other soldiers in the military camp.
until,
Gou Moli raised his hand and pointed at the sky:
"Praise the stars!"
The words of prayer that have come from the snowfield for thousands of years are heard again.
Suddenly,
These gathered savage soldiers immediately raised their arms in an extremely pious and fanatical manner, and shouted in unison in savage language:
"Praise the stars!"
In an instant,
The previous malaise, the previous fatigue, the previous confusion had completely disappeared, replaced by a kind of... almost overflowing energy.
Gou Moli put down his arms,
look at them.
next moment,
All these barbarians knelt down,
Cheers:
"Saint Stars, protect my king!"
"Saint Stars, protect my king!"
in an instant,
The movements were neat and the cheers were unanimous.
Gou Moli stretched out his hand and pointed at Tiantian and Chen Xianba standing beside him.
Road:
"They are your new kings, the guides given to you by the stars, give them your loyalty!"
These barbarian soldiers pointed their kneeling direction toward where Tiantian and Chen Xianba were, and then pressed their foreheads to the ground and spread their hands.
Gou Moli jumped off the box and said to Chen Xianba and Tiantian:
"Take them and go after that Xie Zhuguo."
Chen Xianba's expression was both excited and shocked. He was about to ask something, but Tiantian beside him said first:
"The last general respects the commander-in-chief's orders!"
Chen Xianba also took a deep breath and leaned forward to accept the order.
Liang Cheng once said that Gou Moli was not a god and could not knock the morale of an army into a low point and then lift it up in an instant;
But if there was a group of people, they would have already regarded Gou Moli as a star?
Five thousand wildling cavalry, led by two major generals, rushed to the south. When they left the stronghold, they were magnificent.
The Sword Master walked to Gou Moli and asked:
"How did you hide it?"
"Of course it's impossible to raise them in an organized manner. The prince's royal guards are not vegetarians. They can be raised a little here and a little there. If they are spread out, it will be much easier."
"What are you raising for?" the sword master asked.
"What else can I do? Isn't it the most taboo thing for the prince, to build his own private army? Our prince obeys the imperial edicts but not the declarations of the Yan State. As for me, I am just following the example.
In addition, Fancheng has been in an enclave for so long. If I didn't tinker with something, the prince himself wouldn't believe it. "
"It took a lot of effort to get this little piece of furniture out, but it's just thrown out like this. Don't you feel bad?"
"What are you feeling distressed about?
I have found two good homes for them. Doesn’t the next generation belong to them? "
"I mean, don't you feel bad about yourself?"
"Myself?"
Gou Moli suddenly laughed,
"Brother, do you know what will be waiting for Chu State if everything is going according to plan at Nanguan in Shanggu County?
The entire Chu State,
will soon,
He was completely beaten to the ground, and half of the country belongs to my palace!
In the past, I felt that the snowfield could no longer accommodate me, so I had to enter the customs;
Now, Fancheng can no longer accommodate me. I will be promoted. I will either join the palace and become the prime minister together with Mr. Bei, or I will be more open to the outside world and control the territory!
There will be more people, more soldiers and horses, and it will no longer be limited to savages.
pattern,
pattern! "
Gou Moli seemed to be smiling but not laughing, seemed to be crying but not crying,
Turn your back,
He shook his hand suddenly,
shouted:
"From now on, there will be no Savage King in the world!"
