Chapter 172 Marriage
All around, there were fleeing soldiers of Qian and the knights of the Zhenbei Army who were chasing them. Some soldiers knelt down and begged for surrender, but what was waiting for them was nothing. A saber strike without mercy.
These are Li Fusheng's soldiers and horses, and they are the soldiers and horses of a madman. They have become accustomed to this merciless execution method, and Li Fusheng's red eyes are not a true reflection of their hearts.
However, Zheng Fan doesn't care about these. He is too lazy to care. War is so cold-blooded and cruel. Moreover, he also knows that as an army that uses blitzkrieg to cross the opponent's defense line and go straight into the hinterland. It is said that capturing prisoners is too extravagant, and they have no energy to arrange and control them.
And tomorrow, Li Fusheng and his troops will continue to move south, and it is impossible to bring these burdens with them.
However, ordinary soldiers are ordinary soldiers, but the enemy's generals and nobles are definitely not among the burdens.
It’s just that because of the special nature of this army, they all seemed to have been infected by the general and turned into bloodthirsty lunatics, so Zheng Fan was given a chance to pick up the slack.
Zheng Fan reached out and pulled off the jade pendant from Zu Dongcheng's waist.
In his previous life, Zheng Fan didn't like to play with jade, and he didn't do much research on jade. However, when he woke up in this world in this life, he often encountered some such things.
Siniang is very experienced in this aspect. Every time she finishes her sewing work, she will always chat for a few words.
However, even Zheng Fan, a layman like jade, could see how valuable this jade pendant was.
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Zheng Fan got up, and just then a group of knights rushed past Zheng Fan. After they left, Zheng Fan saw a knight turning back. Who else could it be if it wasn't Liang Cheng?
Liang Cheng's body was covered in blood, but judging from its color, it must have come from someone else. This guy's blood was black.
“Your Majesty.”
"Are you having fun?"
Liang Cheng smiled implicitly.
Zheng Fan noticed that Liang Cheng's armor was damaged in many places. Apparently, he also suffered a lot of damage and danger when he broke through the formation with him.
However, Liang Cheng's survivability on the battlefield can still be trusted. If nothing else is mentioned, his own zombie bloodline is equivalent to a "blood lock".
“Catch a tongue for me, I think it’s a big fish.”
Zheng Fan pointed at Zu Dongcheng who was unconscious next to him.
“Okay.”
Liang Cheng continued to ride away.
About a quarter of an hour later, Liang Cheng came back from riding. There was a horse on the horse in front of him. A bloody soldier.
Catching a fleeing soldier now is no different from catching a wild goat in the wild, except that as the Zhenbei Army's pursuit area expands, you have to run a longer distance if you want to catch another live sheep.
"Plop!"
The soldier was thrown off his horse by Liang Cheng and fell to the ground.
"Don't kill me, please, don't kill me, don't kill me..."
This soldier was frightened to death.
Judging from his relatively young appearance, it must be his first time on the battlefield. Unfortunately, there is no step-by-step process, and he directly confronts the Zhenbei Army, and he fights against the Zhenbei Army. The craziest town among the six towns.
"Don't be afraid, I won't kill you. Tell me, who is he?"
Zheng Fan pointed at Zu Dongcheng.
The soldier raised his head and looked at Zu Dongcheng, stunned for a moment.
Obviously, he knew him, and even more obviously, he was hesitating whether to answer.
At this time, Liang Cheng's knife was placed directly on the soldier's neck, and the cold touch made him and the God of Death almost greet each other against the mirror.
"He, he is General Zu."
"General Zu?"
"The Major General of Zu Family Army."
"Zu Zhuming's son?" Zheng Fan asked road.
Zheng Fan, the ancestral army, knew about it, and was also one of the troops that was previously transferred to the north.
"Tsk, tsk."
Zheng Shoubei felt delighted. He was really unlucky. In his previous life, he was always blocked from opening a comic studio.
In this life, he can take credit wherever he goes. .
This is the correct way to open life.
"The Ancestral Family Army, the military formation at the front, is it the Ancestral Family Army?" Zheng Fan asked.
"Yes, yes."
"Oh, okay, let's go."
"Huh?" This soldier was a little surprised.
Liang Cheng slapped the opponent on the back with the back of his knife and said:
“Get lost.”
The soldier immediately rolled away in excitement and crawled away.
Looking at his excited movements and his excited expression, maybe, happiness is that simple.
It was so simple that as soon as this guy ran a few dozen meters away, a knight from the Northern Suppression Army came over on horseback and chopped him down with a knife.
“Your Majesty has made great achievements again.” Liang Cheng congratulated.
“It’s okay.”
"The Zujia Army does have some skills. If the Zhenbei Army was not the one who charged earlier, it would be really difficult for other troops to overwhelm their army."
"What do you think of the Zhenbei Army?" ?”
Liang Cheng hesitated and replied:
“Like a wolf and a tiger.”
Zheng Fan sighed.
“But please rest assured, Your Majesty, our future troops will not be worse than the Zhenbei Army.”
“I am confident of this.”
< br>Zheng Fan patted the face of Zu Dongcheng who was unconscious and said:
"Carry it up."
Liang Cheng immediately bent down and carried Zu Dongcheng on his shoulders.
The two held their horses and began to walk back.
Ahead, at the place where they had previously charged, there were soldiers from Zhenbei who were treating the injured Pao Ze.
Compared to the results of the battle, these battle losses are really nothing, and there is no sad atmosphere permeating the battlefield.
Everyone had smiles on their faces, even the injured soldiers were laughing and cursing constantly.
The wind and sand in the desert are strong enough to polish away most of the unnecessary impurities, including the emotion of separation between life and death. Paoze who died in battle was just one step ahead of him, so there was nothing to be sad about.
The longer you stay in contact, the more you will discover the atmosphere within this army.
They are so pure, so pure, it’s scary.
But the blind man once joked that after they conquer the beautiful country of Daqian, will they also become corrupted?
They became corrupted, and Zheng Fan only had his own independent way out in the future.
You don’t necessarily have to be determined to rebel, but you have to at least seek your own independence. As a time traveler, it’s not too much to strive not to kowtow to others, right?
However, looking at the Zhenbei Army at this time, Zheng Fan suddenly felt a feeling in his heart that it would be great if they could always be so pure.
After defeating the Qian Kingdom, then attack the Jin Kingdom. After defeating the Jin Kingdom, destroy the Chu Kingdom. After unifying the east, then sweep across the desert to destroy the royal court and then send troops to the west.
Huh...
No, if this is really the case, wouldn’t I have to be Emperor Yan’s dog all the time?
"My lord, there is another way."
"Hey, have you learned skills from the blind man?"
"No, it's just that my subordinates can feel the emotions in my lord's heart."
"Oh, tell me, what else can you do?"
"There is a princess in Zhenbeihou."
"I have seen a tigress."
"What does it look like?" Liang Cheng asked.
"It looks good."
"If the Lord is not willing to destroy them, he can accept them."
"You are too idealistic, other people's No matter how delicious the food is, it is from someone else’s house and will never taste as good as your own food.”
"I will be taught."
At this time,
there was a person sitting in front,
that person was covered in blood, as if he had been smeared with blood. Layers upon layers of red paint were almost unbearable.
But he sat comfortably alone in a pool of blood,
There was a plate of peanuts and dried meat in front of him. There was no wine, but these side dishes were brought to his mouth one by one along with the blood dripping from his fingertips.
It seemed that the place where he was sitting was not the battlefield where he had just fought, but a small teahouse in the city.
However,
no matter how the environment changes,
his state of mind remains so comfortable and calm.
Just like an old grandfather who likes to sit on the threshold and bask in the sun.
"I'm a little sick." Zheng Fan said.
“I miss it a little bit.” Liang Cheng said.
Li Fusheng seemed to have noticed Zheng Fan and Liang Cheng, and shouted:
"Zheng Shoubei, I really like your general."
This is my second confession today.
Zheng Fan really wanted to make things happen for both of them, but Zheng Fan knew that Liang Cheng would not leave him.
If you lose yourself and are no longer by your side, you can't watch other demon kings growing in strength step by step while you stay still, right?
Even the Demon King cannot accept this kind of torture.
Li Fusheng seems too lazy to continue this request, because this kind of thing is not authentic in the first place, and his own intention has been released. If Liang Cheng is interested in this, it is difficult to say it openly, but it is definitely secretly I will come to him, and when that happens, I can do the operation myself, and I can get him back.
"I have ordered the sons to collect the flags and heads of the Qian army and bring them back to Chuzhou City later. Tell me, it is just a city, it is a little bigger and has more people. Zhao Jiulang Why do you value it so much?”
“In Mr. Zaifu’s heart? There are ravines, how can I..."
"Speaking of human words"
"Report to your lord, because for a long time in the future, my army of Dayan will only be stationed in the big city. ”
“Why?”
"Because the land of Qian Country is too large and the population of Qian Country is too large, even if Qian Country is conquered, for a long time, the area that I, Dayan, can control will be very limited. Therefore, stationed in the big city Nature is the best choice, so it is extremely important to keep them safe.”
“ Okay, I shouldn’t ask this, I can’t understand anyway, I just want someone to kill.”
Li Fusheng pointed at Zu Dongcheng on Liang Cheng’s back and asked:
“Who is he?”
“The major general of the ancestral family.”
"From the ancestral family? There is still something."
Obviously, the work of inquiring about battlefield news has begun, and Li Fusheng has also been summarized.
This "something" is obviously a good evaluation.
After all, the military formation formed by the Ancestral Family Army is indeed the strongest among the three formations, and the combat effectiveness of the Ancestral Family Army is indeed not bad.
But this is good, compared to the level of Qian Guo.
Compared with the barbarians, the gap is a bit big. The barbarians sometimes seem docile, but when they are really crazy, they will really fight with your life without hesitation.
Li Fusheng himself has personally experienced this situation several times in which he died in battle to the last person in his clan.
"Zheng Shoubei has made another great contribution." Li Fusheng smiled, but this smile looked a little less friendly against the blood on his face.
Zheng Fan cupped his hands and said:
“This is what my subordinates should do.”
"Then please ask Zheng Shoubei to take this man into custody. His father still has 50,000 troops in the north. It is unlikely that he will be able to have any effect."
"It may be more difficult to use him to persuade his father to surrender."
In Zheng Fan's opinion, these big shots rarely get delayed by personal affairs, such as Tian Wujing and Emperor Yan.
Li Fusheng shook his head, grabbed another handful of peanuts and threw them into his mouth,
said:
"It would be interesting to chop his son before the battle and humiliate him."
"..." Zheng Fan.
……
In Chuzhou City, people are panicking.
Master Wang is here,
This was something everyone in the city knew at this time, from the powerful men who had not had their homes confiscated and exterminated to the traffickers and footmen.
However, when the Yan people began to distribute food, there were still an extremely large number of people in Chuzhou City who came to receive food.
In comparison, the powerful are much more reserved.
Even the officials in the yamen were still worrying about their own affairs at this time.
At this time,
Blind Bei and an old man walked slowly on the city wall of Chuzhou City.
This is a majestic and towering city wall. As the capital of Chuzhou City, it naturally cannot be shabby.
But this city wall did not have any blocking effect on the day when the Yan people came in.
Blind Man Bei stretched out his hand and pointed to the point below where food was being distributed,
said:
"What do Lord Wen think of this move?"
Master Wen, Wen Sutong, is the nominally highest official in Chuzhou City at this time.
Yesterday, it was Blind Bei who personally led people to his mansion, ordered a knife to be placed on the necks of his tribesmen, and forced the old man to wear an official hat.
Wen Sutong shook his head. At this time, he didn't know whether he let go or became fearless. He directly answered the blind man who made him feel extremely disgusting,
said:
"The fool serves the people."
The blind man Bei nodded, not angry, but echoed:
"Of course."
"Since Mr. Bei knows how to be kind to the people, , they won’t get anything at all, even if they know that the food is distributed by the Yan people , even if they know that this food is stored by the wealthy nobles, they still cannot stand with the Yan people.
As long as the wealthy nobles in the city come out to incite them, they will still express their resentment towards the Yan people. Treat Yan people as Yan dogs.”
"I know this."
"If you know it, why do you do this?"
"There is too much food."
"………… "Wen Sutong.
“Mr. Wen, there are probably many people in the yamen writing self-defense notes right now, right?”
"So what?"
"It's nothing, I just think that Mr. Wen's vision can actually see a little further."
"What does longer term mean?"
"Mr. Wen must be feeling very painful right now. Firstly, he cares about his future legacy, and secondly, he cares about the safety of his relatives."
"Haha."
"Actually, this is not contradictory at all. As Mr. Wen said before, the people of Qian State who are robbing and taking the food distributed by our soldiers in Dayan will not give up on our Dayan because of this. Because, fools serve the people."
"Mr. Bei, what do you want to say when you ask me out?"
"My? It means, Mr. Wen, how many of the descendants who read Qing history in the future are not stupid? "
"Who can have insight into future generations?"
" Then look forward, you, Emperor Taizu of the Qian Kingdom, bullied the orphans and widowed mothers, and took over the country unjustly, but does this hinder the Zhao family from still being the orthodox status of the Qian Kingdom?
No, not at all. The Zhao family and the official family of the Zhao family are still the kings and fathers of you scholars, and you are still his subjects. "
"Mr. Bei means..."
"If Dayan can subvert the Qian Kingdom and use Yan to join forces, who will care about Mr. Wen's decision today? Woolen cloth? "
"Mr. Bei, this is a fallacy. "
"I never think that what I say is a wise saying. I just want to relieve Mr. Wen's boredom. I just don't know, Mr. Wen, you hope to come here later,
< br>
Is it Yan Jun or Qian Jun? "
Wen Sutong did not answer.
"I appreciate Mr. Wen's sincerity very much. "
"I didn't say anything. "
" Not to mention joining the army, it is already an attitude. Mr. Wen, you are about to be buried anyway. What you are doing now is to think about your family. Your The grandchildren are still very young. ”
"Mr. Bei, are you threatening me?"
The blind man Bei took out a scroll from his sleeve and handed it to Wen Sutong.
Wen Sutong took the scroll and opened it. After seeing the words on the scroll, his whole body began to twitch with anger,
"This... you... how dare you... you actually ………”
This scroll is a notice of peace of the people, issued by Wen Sutong as the "Jiedu Envoy".
The contents of Anmin are all the same, but in addition to Anmin, Wen Sutong also used Wen Sutong's tone to criticize a series of officials and officials of the state of Qian. They violated taboos and even rose to the level of Taizu of the state of Qian. If the country is not righteous, the Ji family should replace the Zhao family and become the co-owners of Yanqian and Qianlong, which is a well-deserved height.
"This is a frame-up! This is a frame-up!"
Wen Sutong shouted.
“Yes, this is a frame-up, this is a frame-up, I wrote this, and I can vouch for you, Mr. Wen.
But who believes it?
After all, Mr. Wen, since you put the hat on your head yourself, do you still want to take it off yourself?
This Notice of Peace of Mind has been issued today, not only in Chuzhou City, but also in all the countryside and villages.
Mr. Wen, you have no way out. Even if you are willing to shoulder all the blame alone, your family will definitely not be able to save it.
Although the Zhao Guan family has always said that they should be kind to the scholar-bureaucrats, you have to weigh these things in your heart. Can you let your Wen family go? "
"What on earth do you want to say. ”
"It's just a cliché. Since there is no way out, just move forward honestly. With your status and the fact that you are the first to go, we will naturally set you up as a role model and join us as a leader in the future. It is reasonable to pay homage to the minister of court.
It’s a good time for you, otherwise if you wait for those husbands to surrender, their qualifications and status will be much higher than yours.”
“Haha, hahaha...”
Wen Sutong, who was still angry before, suddenly laughed.
Blind Bei stood there silently, saying nothing.
Wen Sutong was chosen by Blind Bei. Since he was chosen, there must be a reason for choosing him.
"I have a condition."
"You are not qualified to make conditions."
"You..."
"You can There is no point in saying harsh words, because you are not willing to destroy your entire clan, and I have the ability to destroy your entire clan, so you have no qualifications to negotiate terms with me, do you understand?”
"Then I have a request."
"Please tell me, I will definitely tell my master, and then my master will write to the court."
"My request does not need to be written to the court. I have always I’m curious as to what kind of person you are, Mr. Bei. .”
"Yes."
"My request is that I have a granddaughter who is sixteen years old."
"My master doesn't like..."
Blind man What I want to say is that my master doesn't like girls who are too young.
But Wen Sutong was the first to say:
"No, I don't want to compete with your master, and my granddaughter is not beautiful."
"That is?"
"With you."
Silence,
A brief silence,
The blind man smiled,
pointed to his eyes and said:
“I’m blind.”
Wen Sutong patted his thigh and said
:
"Isn't it just right?" (End of Chapter)
