Chapter 190 South
“Huh...”
Zheng Shoubei took a rare bath today.
The slightly scalding water covered the area below his neck, making His skin began to show a touch of excited red, as if the fatigue of the past few days had been swept away at this moment.
Since that day when Li Fusheng coerced the Ganren people in the capital area to attack the city, the upper capital has been tightly closed, and the Zhenbei Army has not made any further siege moves.
Even the construction of siege equipment has stopped.
There is a rare "peaceful tacit understanding" between the two parties.
However, every day from morning to night, people from the Yan army would pass by and go to the city wall to curse at the city wall, and the Ganjun on the city wall would immediately curse back.
Both sides were not within the range of the arrows, and the gang members did not dare to open the city gates and rush out to kill, so they maintained the rule of "a gentleman speaks but does not use his hands" in a harmonious manner.
The people above scolded: Yan dog, Yan barbarian!
The Yan people below scolded: "You are a pig, you don't have Luanzi!"
Zheng Fan even made a special trip to see it. Not to mention, it really feels like there is regional discrimination against each other on the Internet in later generations.
It was just scolding and cursing, and that was all they enjoyed. Zheng Shoubei got tired of listening to it for a while, and wondered whether he would teach the Yan people how to sing when he had the opportunity in the future.
Make up some curse words and catchy songs, and let everyone sing them together, which will be powerful and make everyone look very cultured.
Zheng Fan is sitting in the bathtub, and Siniang is rubbing Zheng Fan’s back. The two are used to getting along, especially in this regard. Siniang knows the priorities that Zheng Fan likes, even if it is rubbing his back, It can make Zheng Shoubei feel like he's in heaven.
"My lord, Liang Cheng came over earlier and said that Li Fusheng ordered everyone to pack their things tonight."
Zheng Fan nodded after hearing this.
This city cannot be captured. Previously, because they occupied the West Wind Ferry, they had the upper hand, leaving Shangjing City naked in front of the Yan army.
It’s just that a few days have passed, and the detour of Qian’s army on the other side of the river should be around the corner soon, and King Qin’s soldiers and horses from all over the Qian Kingdom will probably follow suit soon.
Actually, sentry riders came to report yesterday that on the southwest side of Shangjing City, several troops of King Qian Guoqin had gathered and a camp had been built.
The group of people felt a little bit desperate and did not dare to rush to the city directly under the banner to fight the Yan army. Instead, they continued to wait for the arrival of the follow-up troops.
In fact, the ancient emperors were unwilling to issue this kind of "King Diligence Order" unless it was absolutely necessary, because if this order were to be issued, it would first mean the collapse of the imperial authority, and everyone would discover that, Oh, it turns out that the emperor is just like Wang Erpazi at the entrance of our village. If he loses in a fight outside, he has to call for help.
Secondly, King Qin’s order gave local forces the opportunity to become powerful. Even if the immediate crisis has passed, the resulting situation of local separatist forces fighting against the central government will be difficult for a while. If it goes away, it can only be said that it is drinking poison to quench thirst.
“Alas, I just don’t know where Zhenbeihou and Jingnanhou took the main force.”
The blind man reported the situation to himself, but Zheng Fan couldn’t guess where the main force was. Where did it go.
But since Li Fusheng has made preparations to withdraw his troops, Zheng Shoubei, who already has some "war weariness", is willing to accept it.
Marching and fighting are indeed hard work. I haven’t even done needlework for a long time.
"Siniang, you are tired too." Zheng Fan said, touching Siniang's hand.
It stands to reason that after a woman has been doing needlework for a long time, her hands will become rough, but Siniang’s hands are always so smooth and soft, with a little warmth, warmth, and so much warmth. It's just the right amount of coolness.
"My lord, I am not tired. Being able to serve my lord is my blessing."
Zheng Fan was already somewhat immune to the blind man's flattery, but Siniang's words were very useful to Zheng Fan.
This once again proves that men are just big pig hooves.
"Sister, come down and wash together."
"Wow..."
The water is rippling and the mist is rising;
After taking a bath, Zheng Fan changed into new clothes that he had dug out from this dry man's house. The clothes had been altered by Siniang and they fit just right. But when he put on the armor, they were not so pleasant.
However, Zheng Fan was used to being "greedy for life and afraid of death", so no matter how reluctant he was, he still put on the heavy armor on his body, and at the same time stuffed the "Er Bang" into his chest.
Zheng Fan's current location is a farmhouse in the capital, not far from the Yan Army camp. Today, he can be regarded as "selfish".
Zheng Fan walked out of the bathing area, and Siniang had to wash up again.
Outside, Fan Li stood there waiting, with the little sword boy sitting on Fan Li's shoulder.
The little girl was still dressed as a boy in the movie, and there was no obvious hatred in her eyes when she looked at Zheng Fan. Zheng Fan didn't know whether this girl was a sword embryo, but this kind of character would definitely be terrible when she grew up.
The Lord is coming to take a bath, so security work is naturally indispensable. There are three hundred horses outside Zhuangzi as guards.
However, as soon as Zheng Fan walked out of the village gate and planned to stretch, he saw a woman's figure appearing in front of him.
Some of Cuiliu Fort's cavalrymen had their bows and arrows drawn, and some had already lined up to outflank the two wings. Inspired by the Zhenbei Army's attack on the Shatuo Queshi, Zheng Fan specifically asked Liang Cheng to practice with his troops. Learn how to kill masters.
It can’t be said that these cavalry are all soldiers. After all, the land of Gyeonggi is almost in devastation. Originally, because of the arrival of the Yan people, there were many Ganren people who fled with their families and left here. In addition to the previous ones, One day, Li Fusheng risked the lives of the Ganren people to attack the city, which made the Ganren people who were still watching give up any chance and quickly fled south.
What's interesting is that when the Yan people went south, the most severely damaged areas in the entire Qian Kingdom were not the three sides, nor Chujun, Beihe, and Xishanjun. On the contrary, it was the capital region that suffered the most severe trauma.
Because of this, at this time, a woman, a very beautiful woman, suddenly appeared here. She was still well-dressed and did not look dirty at all;
Just like appearing at a busy intersection There was an ingot of gold ingot, but no one dared to pick it up. It had "unusual" written all over it from head to toe.
Zheng Fan squinted his eyes, trying his best to see the woman's appearance, but the distance was a bit far, so apart from a little familiarity, he couldn't see it very clearly.
However, in the land of Gyeonggi, a woman who makes me feel familiar...
"So, you guys who use swords have no brains, right?"
This was said to the little sword boy on Fan Li's shoulder.
The little sword boy nodded and said: "I often say this to my master."
On this topic, the two people, one large and one small, obviously reached a consensus.
Thyme Lan came, she said she would go out of the city to find Zheng Fan, and then she really came.
Immediately afterwards, the little sword boy's words made Zheng Fan finally understand something.
Little Jiantong said: "She and my master had a good relationship at the beginning."
It turned out that it was not because of his "eyes" that she insisted on killing him, but because of Yuan Zhenxing, The second sword of the Qian Kingdom.
“Oh, it turns out it was a misunderstanding.” Zheng Fan said.
The little sword boy asked curiously: "Didn't you kill my master?"
Zheng Fan nodded and said: "I didn't shoot the arrow at that time. Your master's fatal wound was the arrow in his chest. It was shot by a barbarian soldier named Toza under my command. However, he had already died in the West Wind Ferry. Therefore, your master’s revenge has been avenged.”
The little sword boy’s mouth slightly expanded into an “O”.
Tao:
"In the past, I heard people say that the Yan people are barbaric, and I often heard that the Yan people were straightforward. It turns out that the Yan people can be as wilting and bad as you."
If you are not careful, you will discredit the Yan people.
But Zheng Shoubei was not embarrassed at all. He looked at Liang Cheng in front of him. Liang Cheng also turned back at this time. The silent communication had begun and ended at the same time.
What Zheng Fan asked was, can it be done?
This time I came out to take a bath and brought three hundred horses with me.
Liang Cheng’s response was, no problem.
Zheng Fan felt relieved.
There is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days. At this moment, I will try my best to lose some troops and save this woman's life. At least I won't have to be so grand when taking a shower in the future.
However, at this moment, another man walked out from behind Thyme Orchid.
The man was holding an iron sword in his hand, and his figure looked a little sluggish, as if he was drunk.
Zheng Fan looked at the little sword boy, pointed in front, and said:
"Don't tell me..."
The little sword boy reached out and touched Fan Li's skull and said:
"The Thyme Sword is back."
Three hundred riders, it shouldn't be a big problem to solve a Thyme Orchid. It was an open area again. The swordsman's sword was indeed powerful, but the swordsman's body was not as strong as an ordinary martial artist.
But Thyme Orchid plus a Thyme Sword made Zheng Fan murmur in his heart.
"You're done." The little sword boy said with a smile.
At this time, Fan Li also laughed,
then picked up his ax,
and placed it in front of the little sword boy sitting on his shoulder.
The little sword boy was so angry that he slapped Fan Li on the head several times,
swearing:
"I was blind and saw the wrong person!"
Fan Li still smiled honestly, his ax getting closer to the little sword boy.
Ahead, the Baili brothers and sisters stopped, and the cavalry on the periphery also reined in their reins.
Six Niang also came out of the shower now. Because she had changed her appearance again, she delayed a little longer. Looking at the scene in front of her, she said with some surprise:
"This is really similar to the scene in the movie. I have to find a chair for the Lord."
After saying that, Siniang actually walked back and brought out a grand master's chair for Zheng Fan.
I don’t know what material this Taishi chair is made of, and the workmanship is a bit rough, but when Zheng Fan sat on it and crossed his legs, it smelled like a factory worker.
The villain's chair, the villain's hostage, and the little soldiers gathered around the villain;
The two brothers and sisters facing each other with swords, the woman is beautiful and pure, the man is as muddy as if he is drunk, it's appropriate A perfect replica of the protagonist team in a martial arts film, it is simply too classic to be classic.
Hey, don’t tell me, although Baili Jian looks a bit decadent, he really has a flavor of Tony Leung.
Zheng Fan's face was calm, but his heart was a little panicked, and he subconsciously wanted to bite his nails a few times.
Siniang delivered a handful of sunflower seeds to Zheng Fan in advance,
Zheng Fan started to eat the sunflower seeds.
Baili Jian stopped, while Thyme Lan continued to move forward. After walking for a while, she also stopped. Her eyes fell on the little sword boy sitting on Fan Li's shoulder.
“Give her to us, and you can leave.”
Obviously,
in the eyes of the Baili brothers and sisters,
the little sword boy's life is much more valuable than Zheng Fan.
Moreover, the two brothers and sisters really didn’t take these three hundred knights seriously.
"It's done."
Zheng Fan readily agreed and said at the same time:
"When we get back to the military camp, we will release her. We Yan people always talk with spitting foam and nail it!"
Thyme Lan Frowning slightly,
Obviously, although the number of contacts was not many, Zheng Fan's image in her heart was not good.
She raised her sword and pointed at Zheng Fan,
Said:
“Hand it over.”
Yuan Zhenxing is a fool, a man who is obviously an excellent swordsman but can live a life of confusion and chaos, but this man always treats the little sword boy Taking it with him is enough to show that Yuan Zhenxing attaches great importance to this little sword boy.
Zheng Fan can probably guess what the sword embryo means. It is similar to an innate body. When practicing swords in the future, he can get twice the result with half the effort.
"Then there's no need to talk." Zheng Fan shook his head.
It is impossible to hand over the person first. Zheng Shoubei does not have very high ethics, so he does not trust the ethics of others.
Baili Jian raised his iron sword at this time and raised his head. The turbidity in his eyes began to slowly dissipate, replaced by a kind of clarity.
From a personal emotional point of view, Zheng Fan doesn't really like to set up a stage for others to show off, but he does have the capital to show off. In this world, there are warriors, magic, fighting spirit, and cultivation.
This has given a better footnote to the idea that "a chivalrous person breaks the law with force."
The two sides faced each other in silence, and Fan Li's ax was always placed in front of the little sword boy, as if the muzzle of the gun was pointed at the temple of the hostage.
"They are gathering momentum." Siniang said.
"Save for a big move?" Zheng Fan asked.
Six Niang hesitated for a moment. It seemed that in this environment, this too modern description would destroy the artistic conception, but she still nodded and said:
"The Lord is wise."
Swordsmen, what they pay attention to is a sword as strong as a rainbow. They are not like pure warriors who can bathe in the sea of soldiers, so they pay more attention to the damage they can do in a short time after taking action.
It was obvious that they were ready to take action.
After all, if you are lucky enough to meet a strong fool like Yuan Zhenxing, you can’t expect to meet another one again.
Liang Cheng could naturally see what Siniang could see. At that moment, fifty of his cavalrymen began to surround Baili Xianglan, while the remaining troops began to swarm towards Baili Jian.
The most ideal result is actually to kill one first and then deal with the other. Of course, the losses to the subordinates will definitely be huge, but this is not what we need to worry about now, but these three hundred Can Qiu stop these two world-class swordsmen? One of them is vaguely the world's best swordsman.
Just when both sides were getting ready to attack, suddenly, a group of troops appeared in the southwest, with hundreds of cavalry in front and thousands of infantry behind them.
The leader has arms like an ape, a long beard on his face, and a spear in his hand.
"Don't worry, Master Baili, Beihe County Han Wu is here to help!"
Han Wu?
Zheng Jiuqiansui, who was sitting on the chair, looked over and found that the man looked very familiar. Then he remembered that this was not one of the cadres that Li Fusheng led his army to defeat outside Chuzhou City that day. General?
At that time, I concluded that the other party was a big fish, but this big fish was a bit fierce, so I didn’t dare to catch him.
Han Wu came, bringing with him nearly 2,000 horsemen and infantry.
He was actually really unlucky. After the team outside Chuzhou City was dispersed, he packed up some of the remnants and returned to Beihe County. After all, his subordinates were basically Beihe warriors, and his father-in-law was also in Beihe County. county.
Unexpectedly, he had just led the remnants back and witnessed the scene where his father-in-law and his army were defeated by Li Bao. This relationship was so good that Han Wu, as the son-in-law, directly connected with his father-in-law Bei He. The county envoy was dispatched, and then Weng and his son-in-law ran south together.
Li Bao behind was still racing with Li Fusheng at that time, so he chased with all his strength, but Han Wu's ability was indeed not outstanding, and the quality of his soldiers and horses was indeed not as good as that of the Yan people. But he did have the ability, and he managed to escape across the Bianhe River with his father-in-law.
We have just crossed the Bianhe River here and want to rest at Xifengdu. By the way, I asked my father-in-law to write a letter to the officials to admit his mistake and hope to do it all over again.
Isn't it a coincidence that Li Fusheng came again after his great attack? After arriving, he directly hit the West Wind Crossing.
Han Wu and his father-in-law were actually in the camp at Xifengdu at that time. After the Yan people came in, seeing that the momentum was gone, Han Wu once again took his father-in-law and started to run away.
Only this time, a eunuch who supervises the army was brought with him, plus a minister of the Ministry of War who announced the decree.
The gates of Shangjing City have been closed, and it is temporarily impossible to enter. Han Wu led a large group of people to bypass Shangjing City and continue south.
With the blessing of his father-in-law's identity, plus the status of eunuch in charge of the army and minister of the Ministry of War, Han Wu quickly gathered a few more Qinwang troops and transformed into an army leader again.
Earlier, he heard from his subordinates that Baili Jian was back. Han Wu immediately ordered a group of soldiers and horses to come and wait for orders. After all, Baili Jian was the prince's martial artist and had a high status. Being able to get on his line would be a threat to him. There will definitely be great benefits in the future.
Han Wu has finally seen through it. The Yan people can’t destroy Daqian when they move south, but countless civil and military forces, big and small, will wither away. Isn’t this the opportunity for Han Wu to rise to power? ?
So he treats this kind of licking dog very attentively.
However, when he saw Han Wu leading the troops, Liang Cheng felt relieved immediately.
The momentum that Baili Sword and Thyme Orchid had just gathered was also relieved. At the same time, the brother and sister sheathed their swords together and ran to the capital without hesitation.
There was no sword flying, but the speed at which the two swordsmen ran was quite fast.
Han Wu was a little dumbfounded. What is going on?
Suddenly, Han Wu realized something and immediately cursed:
“Straight bitch, I’m so confused after eating lard!”
The earth began to tremble,
Groups of knights from the Zhenbei Army began to appear.
Han Wu's movement of cadres and soldiers could not be concealed from the opposite camp, so the Zhenbei Army responded quickly.
The leader of this Zhenbei Army was surprisingly Li Fusheng, who had been holding back for several days.
“His grandma, I didn’t want to clean up this bunch of miscreants, but in the end, these miscellaneous soldiers dared to come to the door to stir up trouble. If the tiger doesn’t show its power, I really think I’m sick. Cat, charge! Crush them!"
At this time, Fan Li put down the axe.
The little sword boy's face looked a little ugly.
Zheng Shoubei, who had been trembling with fear, finally felt relieved. He slumped a little and leaned on the Taishi chair. For a moment, he really had the feminine and lazy smell of a factory owner.
Zheng Fan pointed forward and said to the little sword boy:
“They ran away.”
The little sword boy had a sullen face, as if he was thinking about something. Finally, he said:
"I suddenly feel..."
"What do you feel?"
"I feel that I That unlucky master is quite cute.”
Zheng Fan smacked his lips, nodded, and said:
"That is."(End of Chapter)
