The devil is coming

Chapter 998 Gu, here to pick you up
A heavy rain slightly extinguished the "carnival" of some people in the capital.
On the tower of Xixuanmen, the officials stood here, looking at the imperial city;
The proceedings are over;
Zu Zhuming, as the governor of the three sides, still guards the three sides;
Zhong Tianlang hung up his banner to summon the general, led his army northward, entered Chu County, and responded to the three sides.
Meng Gong took the title of General Fuping and led his troops into the northeast to guard the defense line of Lanyang City.
In addition, Le Huan, Han Laowu and others took the title of capital commander and led their ministries northward to obey orders;
Whenever the Yan people attacked, in fact, the countermeasures that Qian State could make were basically the same, because on the battlefield, Yan was strong and Qian was weak, which was a fact that had not changed for hundreds of years.
It is impossible for the three sides to give up, no matter what, it is difficult to imagine that without the defense system of the three sides that stuck in the throats of the Yan people, then maybe ten years ago, the Yan-Qian front could have been said to be It was fixed on the line of Bianhe River;
The national capital, Gyeonggi, directly became the front line.
Correspondingly, because the three sides are consumed there, every military action must be based on the three sides and repaired by tapping the corners;
In this case, strategic initiative is actually out of the question;
No matter how many officials are changed, the situation will be the same. After all, it is impossible for the new officials to spread the word and become an army.
On the other hand, the Yan people
After the previous generation of emperors had defeated almost all the thorns in the surrounding area, as long as the Yan people were willing, they could conduct long-distance war dispatch and effectively integrate the country's elite troops before the war began.
Therefore, in recent years, no matter who the Yan State goes to war with, the Yan people may not be as numerous as the opponent on the frontal battlefield, but they can always put up enough elite numbers to prevent the opponent from taking the initiative to seek a decisive battle with you in the wild.
However, what was different from before was that Li Xundao personally sat in the capital and commanded and dispatched the imperial army;
No matter what, we cannot allow the Yan people to take advantage of us again.
"Guan family, it's raining heavily, let's go back."
Zhao Mugou ignored the suggestions of the eunuchs around him and continued to look at the capital under his command.
It has been a few years since the last time the Yan people attacked the city. This once prosperous Shangjing City has also regained its vitality. Although it is not as prosperous as it was in its prime, it still has a seventy or eighty percent flavor.
But the horrific memories left by the Yan people to Gan people have not slowed down with the passage of time;
On the contrary, when the news came that the regent of the Yan State had defeated the Chu army in the Chu State, the entire Shangjing City, no, the entire Daqian City, seemed to have fallen into a suffocating atmosphere.
Gan Ren was really frightened by the Yan people. After hearing the news that his ally had been beaten to the ground, his despair and sadness were hard to describe in words.
Therefore,
Zhao Mugou understood the carnival in the capital today.
Li Xundao said they were fools.
It was not said in a tone of gritted teeth and hatred, but in a very tactful way of lamenting;
That black dragon flag gave everyone from the emperor to the head of Guizhou too many hazes.
Under such circumstances, no matter how rational a person is, they will inevitably abandon their rationality and immerse themselves in inappropriate indulgence.
This is an escape from reality.
But...how could it be possible to escape?
Over there, the regent had just defeated the Chu State, and news had come from the Chu State that the Emperor of Chu, for the sake of dignity, had already surrendered to Jindong and surrendered his country;
This was perhaps the Chu people's most helpless choice, and they also took eye drops along the way.
but,
Does the medicine take effect so quickly?
Since more than ten years ago, everyone has been looking forward to civil strife among the Yan people;
First, we hope that the Zhenbei Hou Mansion will rebel.
If we continue to hope that King Jingnan will rebel,
I still hope that King Pingxi will rebel,
Hope again and again, and be disappointed again and again;
This country of Yan has obviously been walking a tightrope in terms of power from generation to generation, but it just refuses to fall.
Instead, the Jin, Chu, savages, and barbarians, all the neighbors who were looking forward to its fall, all fell down one by one.
"Ji Chengjue, you are trying to make me look like a fool."
Zhao Mugou was talking to himself, but the eunuch next to him didn't dare to say a word to answer.
"But unfortunately, many of my colleagues have been frightened by the Yan people's sabers and will pretend to be stupid."
Standing in the rain for a long time did not bring much peace and calmness to the Qianguo official. He could not even feel the coldness of the wind and rain. Instead, his lips, teeth, hands and feet felt a strange kind of heat.
Zhao Mugou turned around,
Started walking towards his dormitory.
After he succeeded to the throne, he consecrated the queen and the concubine, a queen and a concubine, matching the configuration of the one from Yan Kingdom.
Of course, there are still many unqualified women below. In this huge palace, to put it harshly, they are the rough-handed palace maids who are responsible for emptying toilets and washing clothes. If the emperor really drinks and becomes animalistic, then he is also the emperor. woman.
However, Zhao Mu was attracted to women and had no interest in them.
After he ascended the throne, he was used to sleeping alone for many nights. In his palace, the greenhouse built by the previous official was demolished. It was no longer like spring all year round. Especially on this rainy night, there were many drafts;
Because when building in the past, the issue of warmth was not considered at all. Instead, I was worried about being too warm, so I paid special attention to the ventilation design.
Zhao Mugou walked through a curtain,
Here, there are folders, maps, and various files sent to and sent away. As an official, he can be said to be very diligent.
But sometimes,
He will take some time off for himself on a certain day, doing nothing and thinking about nothing.
Just sit there,
To this painting;
This is the middle of the night.
The painting still hangs in front of Zhao Mugou, with two night pearls emitting light and shining on the scroll.
in the picture,
She is a young woman, standing with a sword in her hand. She is beautiful, a little playful, and has a coldness that prevents strangers from approaching her.
This is the woman in Zhao Mugou’s dream,
He had looked back and traced her footsteps in his dreams again and again,
"Where are you?"
Zhao Mu's eyes were a little confused.
"I have become a high-ranking official.
And you
Where is it now?
my queen. "
……
"Squeak..."
The door was pushed open.
A tall figure like an iron tower appeared in the house.
He looked at his surroundings, took the initiative to walk to the bed, and saw a young woman lying on the bed, breathing slowly and sleeping.
Some bruises and scars can still be seen on her face;
Fan Li just stood beside the bed,
standing,
standing,
standing,
until,
The girl lying on the bed opened her eyes angrily.
shouted:
"You big idiot, you can't kiss yourself!"
For a woman to take the initiative to shout these words shows just how stupid this man is.
But what Fan Li is best at is scratching his head in embarrassing places;
As long as he starts scratching his head, any embarrassing incident will be over.
Therefore,
He started scratching his head, his expression innocent.
The sword maid puffed her mouth, wrapped herself in a quilt, and sat up;
then,
He stretched out his foot and kicked Fan Li;
Fan Li didn't move.
The sword maid did not intend to kick him, after all, this was not realistic.
Anger is always short-lived.
When a girl is really interested in you and really likes you, she will not be willing to flirt with you for too long and will deliberately wait for you to coax her.
True love can make people let go of their reserve;
Otherwise, it can only be said that she actually doesn't have you in her heart.
The sword maid turned her face sideways,
Road:
"Fortunately, you have some conscience and know how to come see me."
Fan Li blinked, then continued scratching his head.
When a man has labels such as "honest" and "big wood", it often means... saving trouble and trouble.
A real hunter can often look more like an honest person than a so-called honest person.
All you need to do is stop here. For the rest, she can help you figure it out and help you figure it out.
The matter between Sword Maid and Chen Daxia was expedited through eight hundred miles and was quickly delivered to Zheng Fan, who was still preparing for the alliance ceremony with Chu.
Knowing that the swordswoman was injured, Zheng Fan, as the master and the commander of the army, did not hesitate to appoint Fan Li as the rear army general to support Liang Cheng, and led the army to Nanmen Pass to join Liang Cheng and Gou Moli. .
After all, he had watched this girl grow up, but Zheng Fan didn't realize how much rice, flour, grain and oil she had eaten and how many pieces of cloth she had worn;
After all, when the Sword Master stayed, this girl's existence could be considered a contribution.
In the end, no matter what, it is still a bit emotional, and people do it to prevent disasters and injuries to their families.
Zheng Fan generously and considerately sent her "brother Fan Li" over.
"Big man, do you miss me?"
"Ah."
"Have you thought about it or not?"
"Ah."
"Stop it!"
"Oh."
"Master Chen is in the third rank."
"Oh."
"He found a woman and lived with her for two years. She was already at the third level. I am now at the fourth level. I think I can give it a try."
Fan Li asked: "Where is that woman?"
"..." Sword Maid.
……
"Are you going to fight?"
In the yard, Chen Daxia looked at Liang Cheng and asked.
"You just saw it?" Liang Cheng asked.
Master Chen nodded, he really saw it.
"beat……"
Daxia Chen originally wanted to ask who to beat, but when he asked this question, he finally thought of the answer.
"Are you going to attack Qianguo again?"
"Yes."
"Where is he?" Chen Daxia asked, "Where is Zheng Fanren?"
"He's at the back. He'll probably come with the logistics, food, troops and horses in a while. You can wait for him here."
"No wait, we met during the war. It doesn't look good."
"Where are you going?" Liang Cheng asked.
"Lanyang City."
"Change the place, I will lead the army to fight there immediately."
"I'm going to inform you."
"Believe me, although many of the Silver Armored Guards in Yan State have been eliminated in the past few years, we have such a large-scale mobilization of troops and horses, and the Nanmen Pass is directly connected to Lanyang City, so the news over there must have been received. "
If the Silver Armored Guards are all like you, Master Chen, then there is really no need to purge them. The more the merrier, it doesn’t matter.
"I'm going to Lanyang City." Chen Daxia said, "I'm going to help defend the city."
"It's not necessary. You can go to Shangjing and we will fight there."
"Last time in Lanyang City, Zheng Fan let me go. The city was actually not defended and was destroyed. I thought it was normal at the time. Later, I felt a little uneasy."
"Don't catch yourself in a dead end. If you go somewhere else, we probably won't fight there."
Daxia Chen shook his head,
"As a Qianren, you must defend the city once for the sake of the Qianguo. Be serious and down-to-earth and defend the city once."
"We are not fighting against the Qian Kingdom this time." Liang Cheng explained, "Zhao Mugou rebelled as a vassal king and forced the officials to death. This time we are going to help the Qian Kingdom to fight against the rebellion."
Chen Daxia looked at Liang Cheng,
look at
looking at...
Liang Cheng is a zombie, and it is his basic ability to control his facial expressions without changing color;
Daxia Chen has also been watching carefully. He can watch for a long, long time.
finally,
Daxia Chen said:
"Zheng Fan said that the emperor is the emperor, and the country is the country.
The banner you use is to fight against rebellion, but in my eyes, it is to fight against the enemy. "
"Don't you want to kill ordinary people and live like the people in eastern Shanxi, eating steamed buns with fillings?"
Qian Country is rich, and Jiangnan is even richer, but... In the past sixty years, Qian Country has had the most frequent and largest peasant rebellions among the four major kingdoms;
This means that the prosperity of Qian Country actually has little to do with ordinary people.
The scholar-bureaucrats could use their "wonderful pens to create flowers" and create a prosperous era, but perhaps it was precisely because the rhetoric was too gorgeous that the underlying phosphorescence of the bones was covered up.
"We invaded, and from now on the Gan people will be Yan people, our own people."
Chen Daxia asked back:
"How many times did the Yan army go to work? How many steamed buns were given to them?"
Liang Cheng replied: "That's because we didn't defeat him."
"How many people were killed, how much food was robbed, and how many houses were burned."
"That's what we have to do to make it easier to defeat in the future."
Daxia Chen shook his head again,
Road:
"Master has said that home is home, country is country, battlefield is battlefield, temple is temple, rivers and lakes... are rivers and lakes.
I think Zheng Fan is my biggest confidant in my life, Daxia Chen.
If his family is in trouble, his family is in trouble, or he is in trouble, I will help him and protect him, even if the sword breaks and everyone dies;
And when he is not Zheng Fan, but the regent of Yan State, I am just a go-getter.
I know that I am not smart, and in this life, I can do nothing but practice swordsmanship;
But I still feel that you just used strong words to me.
If Zheng Fan were here, he wouldn't say these extra words to me. He doesn't treat friends like you, so you are his subordinate. "
Liang Cheng raised his hand,
next moment,
Around the courtyard wall, soldiers leaned out, aiming their bows and crossbows at Chen Daxia.
Daxia Chen was not afraid, nor was he sarcastic, and even his expression did not change.
"As you said, I am not the Lord, so I will try to stun you.
It is precisely because I am not the Lord that I let you go to Lanyang City. When our army attacks the city, many men will die under your sword.
I have to take responsibility for them,
terribly sorry. "
"No need to be sorry." Chen Daxia silently drew out his sword and said calmly: "For me, there is no difference between dying here and dying on the wall of Lanyang City.
I'm just a swordsman,
Master can't save the Jin Kingdom, so what virtue and ability do I have to save the Qian Kingdom? "
"Since you understand that the general trend is unstoppable, why..."
"As long as you live, you have to speak some truth, you have to be more truthful, you have to... hold on to something."
Master Chen raised his sword,
Looking at Liang Cheng,
then,
Silently he took ten steps back, widening the distance between himself and Liang Cheng.
This means that the archers around him can shoot him more confidently without involving Liang Cheng.
in the house,
The sword maid who looked at the situation in the courtyard through the window said anxiously:
"Zheng Fan will not kill Master Chen here."
The sword maid understands the truth.
She was actually very able to understand the whole story and the respective choices of Chen Daxia and Liang Cheng;
Because it makes so much sense, it makes unrelated bystanders look weird, even a little incomprehensible.
Because all worlds like to claim to be a reasonable world, but no one really follows this principle. Some alternative people will inevitably be a little out of place.
Hearing what the sword maid said,
Fan Li replied directly:
"It was the Lord who ordered your master to be shot to death."
"But I looked away, it was a battlefield." The sword maid said.
"Have you looked away?"
"Do you think I will have the chance to kill that man named Zheng in this life?"
Fan Li shook his head;
"Go and tell him, aren't you all Mr. Wang Fu? Go and tell him and ask him to let Master Chen go."
"I'm just a bricklayer."
"are you going!"
Fan Li was indifferent.
The sword maid waved her palm and unsheathed the sword hanging beside the bed, but in the middle, Fan Li stretched out his hand and grabbed it.
Seeing this, the sword maid pinched the sword formula with her fingertips and released the sword energy, laying it across the bottom of her neck:
"I hate this method, but I have to do it. After all, he is my junior brother, and he just saved my life not long ago."
Fan Li nodded,
open the door,
went out.
"The Lord has an order not to kill Master Chen without permission."
Liang Cheng waved his hand, and all the soldiers around the courtyard wall withdrew.
Fan Li walked up to Chen Daxia and said:
"The Lord has something for me to bring to you."
"What did Zheng Fan say?"
"The Lord said that after the war, I will invite you to drink, whether you are standing, sitting or... lying down."
"it is good."
Daxia Chen sheathed his sword and walked out of the yard.
Liang Cheng glanced at Fan Li and said,
Road:
"You can come out later."
There was obviously dissatisfaction in these words.
Fan Li said: "She said she would not kill the master."
Liang Cheng glanced at the room.
Road:
"Otherwise, do you think the blind man would let her live until now?"
Liang Cheng turned and left. He still had a lot of military affairs to be busy with. After all, the army was about to leave the country.
Fan Li turned around,
He saw that the sword maid had walked out of the house and came behind him.
"Wang Ling, is it true or false?"
Fan Li replied: "Fake."
The sword maid was a little disbelieving.
Road:
"You didn't lie to me?"
"It's really a lie. The Lord did not give this order."
The sword maid smiled.
Fan Li also smiled;
The Lord did not give the order to Chen Daxia alone, because there was no need to do so. None of the demon kings would not have the vision to see Chen Daxia in this situation.
Therefore, the Lord did not give any orders. Today, Daxia Chen can come and go freely.
The reason why Liang Cheng came here was to hope that Chen Daxia would go to Lanyang City firmly, because Liang Cheng had no intention of attacking the city at all.
……
this day,
The rolling iron hooves shocked the entire Lanyang City.
The soldiers and civilians of Lanyang could see the almost invisible black-armored Yan army to the east from the top of the city;
Simultaneously,
A royal flag that can stop a child from crying on dry land,
Standing tall in the center of the army!
this day,
Emperor Yan’s Jinwu dragon scroll,
For hundreds of years,
Appeared in front of the Three Sides Pass for the first time.
The emperor sat on the royal chariot,
Looking ahead and looking around, the officers and soldiers of Dayan were arranged in dense formation;
king of the world,
In the court hall, turning his hands to make clouds and turning his hands to make rain, the emperor is arbitrary in the universe,
At this moment, my palms were sweating and I was getting nervous.
Eunuch Wei next to him very considerately released energy from his sleeves to cool off His Majesty.
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief,
scolded:
"The man named Zheng really deceived me."
Eunuch Wei was a little confused. At this moment, if there was a mistake in the tacit understanding between His Majesty and the Regent, how would this war end?
But soon,
The emperor said again:
"He actually told me that leading troops to fight is very simple, just sit here and pretend to be calm and calm as much as possible.
His surname is Zheng, he really treats me like a three-year-old child.
Even if you beat me to death, I wouldn’t believe it.
His surname Zheng relied on this method to win battles all the time. "
On the same day,
Zheng Fan, the regent of Dayan riding on Pixiu,
Finally walked out of the valley.
The prince looks far away,
Let out a sigh,
"Jiangnan, Gu, I'm finally here."
Xie Yuan, who had been accompanying Shuai Zhang, smiled and answered:
"It is said that this country in the south of the Yangtze River is a place of splendor and beauty, with countless romances and poetry. I wish I had been born here, grown up here, and buried here, so that I could live up to my fate in the world.
The boy knows that the prince has outstanding literary talent, but he doesn't know. Have you ever imagined that in this life, you are a Jiangnan person? "
This is not simply flattering, because everyone in the world knows that the Regent of Dayan has many famous works, which are handed down from generation to generation even the Ganren who have always been indifferent to the Yan people have to hold their noses and applaud.
Zheng Fan shook his head,
Road:
"Don't tell me, I really thought about it this time.
just,
If you eat too much of this sweet thing, you will get bored easily.
Thinking about it,
Or this golden horse and iron horse, thousands of miles of yellow sand, is more suitable for me.
Even in the south of the Yangtze River, the warblers and swallows are singing and dancing, and the literati and poets are singing about the beauty of the scenery;
It's far less likely than the words 'die for me'. "
next moment,
The prince’s eyes darkened slightly,
His expression also became solemn:
"solitary,
Coming to pick you up. "
