Chapter 733 Chapter 733: Before the Storm (Part 1) [Please vote]
When Zheng Qiao received the news, it had only been two days since Shen Tang coaxed Linxian. The past two days have been thrilling and exhausting. Because Shen Tang didn't intend to hold Linxian, he cleared out Linxian's warehouses and a pile of military supplies in advance.
She moved all these things away.
Arm the military town that was initially deceived to the teeth.
At this point, she no longer pretends, she shows her cards.
Learn from Wei Shou and hold on to true happiness!
I wish I could write the words "Come and chop me if you have the guts" written on your face. The provocative meaning can be seen through the words on the battle report. Zheng Qiao's mood was not very stable to begin with. When he saw the contents of the battle report, he was so angry that veins popped up on his forehead.
The ministers who were summoned for discussion lowered their heads one after another, even breathing carefully, for fear that a big gasp would lead to death. Compared with the caution and fear of these people, the military generals under Zheng Qiao's account were obviously much more open-minded, and they all asked for a fight: "These are just little thieves, they are just some little cleverness that cannot be put on the table. The general is willing to lead his troops to eradicate them and defeat the opponent." Morale!"
After saying this, there were two or three others who agreed.
Zheng Qiao's expression was uncertain, and he couldn't tell his specific attitude. He just pinched the brief letter with the information in half with one hand, and was crushed into powder by his literary style. At this time, a civil servant who usually kept a low profile stood up and sang the opposite tune, pouring cold water on him.
He said indifferently: "Eradicate? The general underestimated the enemy too much. The one who was deceived by Shen Youli to open the city gate was Cunshan. This place was a city defense that the king spent several years building to serve as a buffer for Qushan County and at the same time Coordinate with Okuyama County... Under normal circumstances, even if our side wins all three battles, we still need three to five times the strength of the garrison in the city to win..."
He chuckled. He said: "Although Shen Youli used a trick to trick the Cunshan City garrison into leaving the city in batches. We don't know their specific strength, but we guess that there are always ten thousand. In other words, if we want to take back Cunshan, we must Send at least 30,000 troops. If so, the purpose of dividing the troops will be achieved. "
Because of Zheng Qiao's attitude and behavior, his generals have always looked down on these civil servants. Now that he was yelled at in person, he couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart. He said in a sinister manner: "According to what you say, we have nothing to do with this Shen Youli? Let him stay in Cunshan and eventually become a serious problem? Humph, we don't need thirty thousand, but twenty thousand troops to capture it!"
When the civil servant saw this, he just sneered and said nothing.
Up to now, these reckless men with eyes on Tianling Gai still fail to see the current situation clearly, and they will inevitably end badly!
Of course, not everyone is reckless.
There are also people who understand the situation in Cunshan and sigh helplessly.
The most speechless person is probably the country’s leader.
We spent time, energy, financial and manpower to gradually build Cunshan into an impregnable place, but in the end, it failed to show any effect and was actually defrauded by a series of frauds by the enemy. I really don't know whether to call Shen Youli cunning, or the city defenders are too stupid.
emmm——
It must have been the stubbornness of the defenders who ruined the situation!
Zheng Qiao looked at the chaos below - mainly a group of military generals quarreling, a group of civil servants acting as mutes, and the occasional noise was just nonsense literature - he took a deep breath and made a final decision: "Send troops to contain Shen Just a young pear, don’t worry about it.”
An attack on Cunshan City requires 30,000 to 50,000 troops, but it is not needed for defense. Just use the minimum number of troops to block Shen Tang in Cunshan.
He carefully looked at the group of generals under his tent.
Zheng Qiao had personally fed their appetites and cultivated their temperaments over the years, and for a while he could not find a general as steady as Wei Shou. He sighed in his heart, but he had no choice but to choose the taller one among the short ones and click on one of them.
The selected generals proudly stood out to receive their orders.
He waved his hand to signal that the court should be dismissed.
The courtiers retreated in twos and threes, and the last one to leave was the civil servant who poured cold water on him. Zheng Qiao raised her eyes and her eyes collided with his.
The man was stopped by the chamberlain before he could go far.
“The waiter will stay here, the Lord of the country invites you.”
Under the pitiful eyes of all the courtiers, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow the chamberlain to see Zheng Qiao. When he arrived, Zheng Qiao was sitting by the garden lake fishing. As soon as he arrived, he heard Zheng Qiao: "The fish in the lake are carefully raised and fed with bait every day. They are not afraid of strangers... Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"
The waiter replied : "I am not a fish in the lake, so I naturally don't know what the fish is thinking. When asked by the ruler of the country, it is difficult to say whether it is good or bad."
Only the fish know this answer.
The judgments of outsiders are based on themselves.
The waiter said: "If the fish in the lake can speak human words, or is simply a living person, the king will know it as soon as he asks."
Who doesn't want to have enough food and clothing?
Zheng Qiao pointed to the empty seat next to him: "Sit down."
For the first time, he invited the other party to go fishing together.
Attendant: "..."
When he was approached by the chamberlain, his heart skipped a beat, and he was worried that he would not live until tomorrow. He didn't know why Zheng Qiao went crazy today and suddenly asked him to talk to him in private. But based on his understanding of Zheng Qiao, he definitely didn't hold it in his stomach.
But he soon calmed down.
Zheng Qiao is determined to do something to himself, and he will die no matter what.
He is not very good at fishing and does not have the elegance. He just wants to show off. Just as his butt touched the mat, he heard Zheng Qiao beside him ask: "Do you remember that you used to sit in front of me?"
The waiter said: "Yes."
Zheng Qiao said: "Do you still remember? You don’t like being alone very much.”
To say I don't like it that much is putting it mildly.
The waiter was young and frivolous, and once took the lead in isolating Zheng Qiao because of Zheng Qiao's identity and because he disliked Zheng Qiao.
It turns out that he has a good eye.
The waiter thought that he was going to die, but he couldn’t bear to beg Zheng Qiao to look for ways to survive, so he simply followed his heart and said it bluntly: “The king was the hostage of the Geng Kingdom at that time. There is no benefit in getting too close, and it can easily damage your reputation..."
Yan'an, who is not afraid of damage to his reputation, is really an injustice.
Zheng Qiao sighed: "Yes, my mentor and senior brother are the only ones who don't dislike me anymore. Hey, senior brother, how are you these days?"
When the waiter heard the next sentence, goosebumps spread all over his body, and the hair on his back fell. He stood up and looked at Zheng Qiao blankly.
Zheng Qiao also looked back at him calmly.
Vaguely, the waiter vaguely saw the shadow of Zheng Qiao when he was young in the other person's eyes, but this feeling passed away in a flash, followed by greater disgust and crisis. He turned his head and avoided Zheng Qiao's eyes: "...Xingning, I guess it's okay."
Calculating the time, Yanan should be able to trot steadily by now. He has good qualifications and may be able to speak. Very neat.
Zheng Qiao looked at the lake with occasional ripples.
"Senior brother has a daughter, do you know?"
A chill ran through the waiter's center, and alarm bells rang in his head, as Zheng Qiao suddenly mentioned the novel "Yan'an's Daughter" very. Could it be that he wants to settle accounts with himself? When Yan'an's wife and daughter fled, he secretly helped, but his hands and feet were clean and he was not blamed.
Do you want to use this to make a haircut?
The waiter calmly said: "I know."
Zheng Qiao sighed: "I have never met the daughter of Senior Brother Yan and Senior Sister Ning, and I don't know which one she is more like as a couple. I have heard that the daughter is more like her biological father. With Senior Brother Yan's talent and appearance, my niece will be the same when she grows up. A beautiful lady of a generation."
The waiter moved his lips and felt uncomfortable.
"It's a pity that with the current situation in Qianzhou, Gu probably won't be able to see it..." Zheng Qiao sighed and shook his head, thinking in his mouth.
The waiter suddenly wanted to throw the fishing rod at Zheng Qiao's face.
Is it fun to fool dead people?
It was quiet for a long time after that, so quiet that even the waiter, who was not good at fishing, caught a fish. People who know how to fish find it interesting, but people who don't know how to fish just find it hypnotic. The waiter felt vaguely sleepy, but was startled awake by Zheng Qiao's words.
"Do you still remember the word "Gu"?"
The waiter: "..."
The dog is still a garbage dog like Zheng Qiao.
If you want his life, just say so. Why do you ask this question? Without him, Zheng Qiao's writing is his Achilles' heel.
Back then, a classmate deliberately yelled out those two words to make Zheng Qiao disgusted. As a result, the young man turned red with anger, rushed over and punched Zheng Qiao on horseback, regardless of Yan'an's obstruction. In the chaos, someone took the opportunity to stir up some personal trouble, which eventually turned into a group fight.
The waiter was also forced to participate in the group fight.
After hearing the news, the banquet master was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. Finally, he punished all students to copy their books for review three thousand times and hand them in within a time limit.
A group of students copied things day and night, leaving a psychological shadow.
The waiter was so angry that he stabbed Zheng Qiao's scarecrow.
He said: "The monarch and his ministers are different, so they dare not address each other directly."
"A nymphomaniac is a nymphomaniac. Do these two words burn your tongue?"
Waiter: "..."
Is Zheng Qiao more crazy or sober?
"My former classmates have gone their separate ways, and now you are the only old friend left." Zheng Qiao looked melancholy, leaving the waiter speechless. Is this lunatic Zheng Qiao really going to reminisce with him? This magical reality almost drove his brain to the point of being unable to turn around.
Zheng Qiao: "It's a pity that the words chosen by my mentor are not used."
The alarm bell in the waiter's head went off.
Basically what Zheng Qiao said, he agreed with it and occasionally added a few words of confusion, "Why didn't Senior Brother Yan come to see Gu?" On the surface, the waiter is taciturn and cold, but in his heart, he has already given up on being a gentleman. He scolds any unpleasant words.
If Yan Xingning really knows something, it must be said to be unlucky.
The two people's "reminiscing about the past" lasted for a full hour.
Finally——
Zheng Qiao said to him: "You can leave tonight."
The waiter trembled all over and met his eyes.
Zheng Qiao said indifferently: "Before I regret it, you take your wife, children and children and leave the boundary of Qianzhou. If you walk too slowly, I will acquiesce that you intend to bury me with him. The chance is only Don’t blame me if you can’t grasp it once.”
The waiter held back a sentence for a long time.
"Zheng Qiao, are you awake or crazy?"
Zheng Qiao laughed heartily, scaring away the fish that came around. His calm expression looked scary in the shadow of dusk: " Sober or crazy, that matters Do you want it? In Gu's opinion, you people who claim to be sober are no more sober than lunatics..."
The waiter was not sure whether Zheng Qiao really wanted to let him go or whether it was him again. He was afraid of teasing people.
When the waiter led him out, the night wind blew and the waiter shivered from the cold. His mind was in chaos, and his body seemed to have its own consciousness controlling him to stride forward. He didn't stop until he had walked a hundred and eighty steps and looked back at the way he came.
The tall, luxurious and majestic building in the daytime now exudes a bit of desolation, gloominess, decadence and ghostly aura, like a wide-open bloody mouth of an evil spirit, greedily devouring the living people who step into it.
He hurried home. At home, his wife and children looked anxiously at the door. When they saw the waiter coming back alive, they cried with joy.
The waiter first had a few warm words with his family, looking at the familiar and fresh faces, Zheng Qiao's words kept echoing in his mind, and he didn't even hear the wife's words. She wiped away her tears of ecstasy and said: "I heard that Master Lang was left behind by the king, and I was frightened and frightened in my body and mind, for fear that you too... Now that he is back, I am really happy. The kitchen has cooked mugwort leaf water... …”
Take a bath to drive away bad luck.
At this time, she saw the sword in the waiter's hand.
"This sword... doesn't seem to belong to Master Lang?"
When the waiter heard this, he felt like he was waking up from a dream. He looked down at the broken sword in his hand, and his slow brain slowly recovered after the disaster. Operation, he said in a daze: "This sword It belongs to Zheng Qiao."
The wife screamed and took two steps back in fright. Her eyes were filled with disgust as she looked at the sword: "This dirty thing..."
Worried about surveillance, He swallowed back the next words abruptly.
The waiter looked at the scabbard in his hand, whether it was lost or not, he put it aside helplessly: "Madam, please quickly order people to pack their bags. We will leave here tomorrow..."< br>
The wife said with a grimace: "How can I escape?"
It's not that there are no colleagues who want to escape, but they can't escape.
Once caught, kill on the spot!
The waiter said: "Don't worry, we can leave."
The wife looked at her husband, doubtful, but she had a doubt: "Master, if we leave, where should we go?" ?”
The waiter lowered his eyes and thought for a moment: "Longwu County, probably."
The wife was confused: "Where is that?"
The waiter said: "Border."
>The wife was reluctant: “It’s such a miserable place. Cold? There are also alien invasions. Wouldn’t our family go there..."
The waiter pointed to the broken sword and said: "If Zheng Qiao is willing to let him go, we will deliver this sword to him. .”
The wife was puzzled: "Whose hand?"
The waiter twitched his lips: "Ning Yan."
The wife opened her round eyes wide: "Tunan? But... But Tunan’s husband Yan Xingning was not attracted by Zheng Qiao "Here... send Zheng Qiao's broken sword. Tunan won't be so angry that he will kill us."
Ning Yan doesn't have a mother-in-law, and her family is far away. , the inexperienced couple almost went blind. Because the husbands of both parties were friends, she was entrusted to help Ning Yan, and the two became closer because of their child-rearing exchanges.
She knows Ning Yan’s stubborn temper very well.
The waiter said: "My husband thinks the same way."
Zheng Qiao, this lunatic, is simply making things difficult for himself.
My wife suggested: "How about throwing this thing away?"
She felt sick just looking at it.
The waiter still had some sense and did not do this.
The temporary residence was brightly lit all night, and large items could not be moved away at all. They only packed some gold, silver, soft food, and water bags. The ignorant child nestled in the nurse's arms, looking at the busy adults with a confused face. Undetectable tension in the air.
Halfway through cleaning up, the housekeeper hurried over.
"Master Lang, Master, someone is coming from the palace!"
When the waiter heard this, his head was buzzing and he was about to explode. He grabbed his sword and said bitterly: "Damn it. Zheng Qiao is really playing tricks on me! The worst he can do is to kill him!"
When he saw the person, he turned out to be a short servant with a huge belly. The waiter secretly grasped the scabbard of his sword, brewing murderous intent.
The chamberlain was unconscious and tried to keep his voice down.
"The servant wants to leave?"
The servant snorted, thinking that the other party looked down on his status as an eunuch and disdained to be with him. He raised his hand to untie the belt around his waist, causing the attendant to shout in surprise.
“What are you doing?”
The chamberlain said: “Show me something.”
(*/ω＼*)
When Shiigugu begins to describe the villain in detail, it means that the villain is about to receive his lunch box. Zheng Qiao is a lunatic. A lunatic, of course, he must have a unique way of getting offline.
Zheng Qiao probably never dreamed that Ning Yan would come over with a sword.
