Chapter 552 Boiling!
If Dayan disappears, what use will the people in this world have?
This,
may be the real obsession, or even the principle, in Tian Wujing’s heart.
Everything he has given, everything he has worked hard for, is for this principle.
Uncle Zheng can't empathize with him.
He can inherit Tian Wujing's military skills.
He will naturally imitate some of Tian Wujing's habits and subtly become that person. look.
However,
Uncle Zheng cannot inherit Tian Wujing’s legacy in this principle.
Fortunately,
Tian Wujing never asked Zheng Fan to inherit this.
King Jingnan said,
This road,
is very bitter and tiring,
He has already gone ahead and has no chance to look back, nor is he qualified to do so.
So,
he doesn’t want Zheng Fan to follow him down this path.
He hoped that Zheng Fan could live a less tired life, live a relaxed life, and live a happy and free life.
In this world,
There is never hatred without reason, and there is no love without reason;
Some people think that King Jingnan values Hiraye Bo so much because it is said that the prince of Jingnan Prince raised his son in Hiraye Bo's place, so extra Value is actually the money to hire a nanny.
However, why did King Jingnan entrust his child to Uncle Hirano instead of others?
In the end,
it was because Tian Wujing saw another path in Zheng Fan, another path that he could have chosen.
Uncle Zheng can bow his head. He bows his head for the sake of better development, for a better life in the future, and for the future, so that he no longer has to bow his head.
But in his heart, there was always a line.
That is, if you really can’t do it, you have to attack my bottom line. If you really want to make me unhappy, the worst case scenario is to turn over the table and find a remote place to open a Dragon Gate Inn.
This is not pedantic and aloof,
but a true freedom and ease.
Originally,
Tian Wujing could be so free and easy.
The Jingnan Army is in hand,
This generation of the legitimate son of the Tian family,
He is a third-grade peak martial artist,
the brother-in-law of Emperor Yan.
If he enters, he can try to win that position, and reach out to pat the temperature of the dragon chair;
If he retreats, he can walk around the world and play in the world like the sword master he once was;
He was too lazy to move,
Standing there,
no one dared to do anything to him.
He could obviously live as he pleased, but he chose the completely opposite path.
He valued Zheng Fan, firstly because Zheng Fan was a first-class talent in terms of military and local governance capabilities and vision.
Idiots or ordinary talents cannot enter Tian Wujing's eyes.
But at Tian Wujing's level, there really aren't many mediocre people standing next to him.
Talent is the first step and the threshold, and the attitude towards life reflected in Zheng Fan is what Tian Wujing values the most.
Zheng Fan looked at Tian Wujing as if he were an older brother. A younger brother admires his elder brother and naturally imitates some of his habits and behaviors. This is normal.
I think of him, Nian Yao. As a general of the Chu State, he still made no secret of his respect for Tian Wujing. In the past few years, after these few wars, among the young and middle-aged militaries of various countries, who is not Tian Wujing? Mirror powder?
Even the little barbarian prince is said to be imitating Tian Wujing's military skills when using his royal cavalry.
As for Tian Wujing,
looking at Zheng Fan,
he was looking at himself as he could have been.
He placed something on Zheng Fan, something he was destined not to have in this life.
You live for me,
Same.
……
The fifth prince’s request was rejected by Uncle Zheng.
Because Uncle Zheng doesn’t want to take this risk;
Every time he goes deep alone, it is a military adventure with great risks. If he wins, it will be extremely glorious and his achievements are second to none, but if he loses , but there is no retreat at all.
The Chu people's system and the operation of the Chu people's court are not comparable to those of the barbarians at the beginning, or even those of the Qian Kingdom. After a war, although there are many people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, some people who sacrifice their lives for righteousness can still emerge;
Moreover, he was able to escape after kidnapping the princess last time. Firstly, it was luck, and secondly, it was actually because the Chu State had not really mobilized. After it was mobilized, many nobles only laughed at Qu's disgrace this time. Lost Dafa.
But this time, it’s a national war!
Once you lose, you will have to wait to be captured like a mountain and sea.
At that time,
It is hard to say that Uncle Zheng did not have the courage that the Savage King had to disfigure his own face with a knife.
Sometimes,
Uncle Zheng is kind and a bit like the Holy Mother.
But Uncle Zheng is not a pure "Madonna". He has always known that he is just a secular "Madonna", and his occasional good deeds are to make himself feel happier, which is a blessing in life. Just adjust.
Uncle Zheng knows very well that a "Mother" like himself is, in essence, a sophisticated egoist covered in a layer of skin.
If he sees a young girl being bullied without her clothes on,
he will feel sorry for her and will help kick the bully down;
But you have to say that the river downstream is overflowing and flooding the house. How many people were washed away and how many people were homeless;
Well,
I can indeed imagine that picture in my mind,
But
I feel nothing.
The fifth prince was rejected. He did not say goodbye, but stood on the city wall and watched the scenery with Uncle Zheng for nearly half an hour.
In this half hour,
the two of them,
No one spoke.
In the end, it was the fifth prince who broke the silence first.
“Before, I didn’t understand why Lao Liu wanted to go to Nan’an County to be a head catcher. I thought he was trying to get angry with his father, or maybe even trying to support his father in another way.
He married a daughter of the He family. I originally thought he was doing it to cater to his father’s policy of not wanting his relatives to get involved in politics;
But now,
I understand,
Xiao Liu,
probably really likes that kind of life.
The kind of letting go of all burdens, letting go of the shackles of identity, doing things, and seeing the scenery;
In the past, life was too high, too floating, walking barefoot in the muddy river, Only then did I feel truly at ease.
Maybe,
these words,
in Uncle Zheng’s ears,
Cheng Min groaned a little bit. ”
Uncle Zheng smiled,
Said:
"Actually, I admire His Highness very much. You can't pretend to be like this. You are not afraid of His Highness's jokes. You let me go to fight and attack, no matter how hard and tired it is, even if the inside of my legs is worn." Even if the blood blisters come, I can grit my teeth and hold on.
Because I know that when fighting, there will be no danger. The only way to rest is to be killed by the enemy, then you can rest for a long time.
If that situation is eliminated,
you let me work on the river. , digging river channels, moving rocks, I can’t do it, I can’t bear it, and I don’t want to.”
"Uncle, you are humble."
"No, I am not humble. I have only been around for a few years. Before, I was also a civilian, and my job was pulling carts and transporting grain. Now, I have completely I don’t want to engage in this kind of labor anymore.
Your Highness, you are born with a silver spoon in your mouth. I heard that Your Highness likes carpentry. I thought it was a kind of leisure, because in my opinion, there is no difference between doing carpentry work and reading books by sages. In fact, the latter is far inferior to the former.
The latter is inedible and the former is inedible. , but it can really be used
But your highness can work hard, and your body and skin are exhausted
I,
admire it. "
The fifth prince smiled,
said:
" Gu heard it, it was not a perfunctory statement. ”
"That's necessary."
"Haha, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!"
The fifth prince just laughed a little at first, then laughed loudly, and then He slapped his hands on the wall and started laughing like crazy.
Uncle Zheng didn’t find it strange,
Children of the Ji family,
One by one,
who was originally healthy physically and mentally, but with such an old man in front of him, even if they don’t have mental problems, they at least have psychological shadows.
Working hard at river work for several months is effective. It is like forging iron, forcing out the impurities in the body and heart.
The fifth prince laughed at the end and couldn't laugh anymore. He simply sat down on the ground and gasped for air.
Uncle Zheng took out two mint candies from the Chinese brand iron box, threw one in his mouth, and pinched the other on his fingertips,
said;
“Open your mouth.”
The fifth prince, who was already panting, opened his mouth wide.
“Throw it away!”
Uncle Zheng threw the mint candy into the fifth prince’s mouth. The fifth prince sucked the candy and stroked his chest, finally settling down.
"Old Zheng."
Oh, this title...
"Yes." Uncle Zheng responded.
“Have you heard about what happened in Beijing?”
Uncle Zheng nodded,
Said:
“I heard it when I first arrived.”
In Yingdu, there is a man named Xiaoliuzi.
Due to the geographical distance between the two parties, the transmission of letters is very time-consuming, but no matter how time-consuming it is, no matter how far the water cannot quench the thirst of the near, it still needs to be kept open.
Ji Laoliu needs Zheng Fan as a foreign aid,
Uncle Zheng needs to know the political trends in the capital.
So, it can take a long time, but it must be "exchanged" as soon as possible.
The fifth prince said:
"My father has gone to the back garden to rest, and the prince has officially supervised the country. What do you think?"
"I don't have any opinion."
After hesitating for a moment, he seemed to feel that such words were a bit too perfunctory. Uncle Zheng had to add:
"At least, that's the case for now."
At the moment, it's really nothing. view.
Fighting is the first priority.
What happens in Beijing also depends on the outcome of the war against Chu.
"The eldest brother is close to the sixth brother. Although he is leading troops in Yinlang County, the eldest brother..."
The fifth prince pursed his lips and said
:
"Brother, this person, How should I put it, if the father sends an edict, or if the new emperor sends an edict after the deal is done, the eldest brother will probably not move. "
After all, they are all children of the Ji family.
This country of Dayan is said to belong to the people of Dayan, but in fact it belongs to the Ji family.
Ji Wujiang can support Ji Laoliu to grab that position, but his support is only limited to support. When it comes time to get into a tense situation without talking about politics and swords, Ji Wujiang will probably not give up. Break the bottles and jars around your house.
"Actually, I can see it clearly. The cushions under the dragon chair are horse hooves and sabers."
The fifth prince has this realization, and political power comes from the barrel of a replica gun.
"Although the boss won't be able to stab you at critical moments, he is really unreliable. The only one around you, Mr. Zheng, is you."
The people in Yanjing City like to pretend to be knowledgeable in teahouses and talk about the affairs of the court.
After Ji Laoliu's wedding,
the name Liuye Party suddenly emerged.
So, sometimes it’s not that the people at the top want to form gangs and engage in party politics, but that even if you stand there and don’t argue, your hat and area have already been divided for you.
Uncle Zheng is obviously the number one pioneer of the "Sixth Ye Party".
"Second brother, although I have managed the Forbidden Army for a period of time before, my management was not very good, and the original framework of the Forbidden Army has long been split into the southeast and northwest over the years.
So, second brother In fact, there are no soldiers in hand. "
Every country has the Forbidden Army, especially the Beijing Forbidden Army, which is the so-called Central Army.
It stands to reason that the Forbidden Army should be the most powerful in combat. This army should have been there when the country was founded, and it basically existed before the establishment of the country.
There is a high probability that the predecessor of the Forbidden Army is actually the true direct descendant of the founding monarch.
But the national conditions of each country are different.
The Barbarian Royal Court’s cavalry is already the power that the Barbarian Royal Court can really control. To be precise, apart from this force around it, the Barbarian Royal Court has very few It is difficult to really mobilize the power of those large tribes. Without the local army, there is still nothing to talk about like the Central Army.
In the former Jin State, with the decline of the Yu family and the formation of the Jin Dynasty among the three families, the Forbidden Army was left with only tens of thousands of troops in the capital.
Qian Guo went to Beijing and turned the Forbidden Army into a joke.
Before the war started, the Qian Kingdom went to Beijing claiming to have 800,000 forbidden troops to defend them. However, after the news came that the Yan army was going south, the first batch organized less than 100,000 people to march north, and the second batch, again Fifty thousand people were forcibly organized. As a result, after the fifty thousand people marched halfway, less than 20,000 people were left...
Later, despite the efforts of the officials of the state of Qian and several princes to squeeze him out, the generals of the imperial army also said that there was really no more.
In the end, in order to deal with the two cavalrymen of Li Fusheng and Li Bao, Qian Guo even transferred the ancestral army from the southeast coast, relying purely on local army leaders to fight the battle.
The Royal Imperial Army of Chu State has decent combat effectiveness and high quality. It can be said that it is the Central Army with the strongest combat effectiveness among the four major Eastern countries.
The original Forbidden Army of the Yan State had long been raised by the stepmother because the whole country had supported the Zhenbei Army for hundreds of years. After Tian Wujing took over the Jingnan Army, the Forbidden Army was reduced to a servant. .
Just like this, in the past few years, half of Beifeng County was first split, and then it was split to follow the eldest prince in the Eastern Expedition. Now, even the defense of Kyoto has to rely on Li Liangshen's town.
In other words, His Highness the Crown Prince may not be so cool, and maybe he is also very gloomy behind his back;
But it is useless to be gloomy, a clever woman can't make a meal without rice, and the Forbidden Army is only an empty frame. What can you do?
Now that I think about it, the Queen’s passing was quite timely.
Because after Ji Laoliu's wedding, it stands to reason that not long after, the delayed wedding of the prince and the princess should really begin.
If the prince and the princess really get married,
Yes,
According to the temperament of that crazy lady of the princess,
Since they dare to use Uncle Qi and Li Liangshen to kill the prince on the night of Ji Laoliu’s wedding,
She dared to directly let Li Liangshen's Northern Suppression Army enter the capital when Emperor Yan announced that he was going to be raised in the backyard,
Let Ji Runhao directly ascend to the position of Supreme Emperor;
There is a high probability that
he will be stuck in the backyard for the rest of his life.
However,
faintly,
Zheng Fan had a feeling that the princess might be able to command Li Liangshen, but she might not be able to command the Zhenbei Army deployed outside Yanjing City.
It’s hard for you to see through Emperor Yan.
Your Majesty is not Li Yuan, and Ji Laoer is not Li Laoer.
Fortunately, it doesn’t matter whether you see clearly or not. No matter how talented and strategizing Emperor Yan is, he can’t defeat the years.
“Old Zheng, when I was doing carpentry work, I liked two words the most...symmetry.
The ink line is flicked,
The size is measured,
look close, look far,
half and half,
this feeling, It’s what I enjoy the most.
Therefore,
I think
Father should also like this feeling. "
None of the Ji family's cubs is simple, even the most miserable tool man Ji Laosan. His level can be compared to the princes of other countries, and he can be the mastermind behind the scenes.
It's not that he is incompetent, it's just that his father and brothers are too high up.
"Keep talking." Uncle Zheng said.
“Father, I actually don’t care whether the crown prince or the sixth son succeeds.”
The fifth prince’s words were astonishing.
Everyone is guessing who will be the next emperor of Dayan.
Not only the Yan people, but also the Chu people, the Gan people, and even the Jin people are all speculating.
On the day of Ji Laoliu's wedding, he showed his prowess, and then used drastic measures to clean up business channels and adjust the household department. His ruthless style was exactly like that of Emperor Yan.
The prince, on the other hand, is more old-fashioned.
Who the next Emperor of Yan will be is likely to affect the future national policy of the Yan State.
“Balance?” Uncle Zheng said.
"Yes, what the father wants is a balance, a balance that he, um, will have in the future."
The fifth prince gestured with his hands and said:
"If Dayan is compared to a carriage, what my father hopes is that this carriage can continue to drive smoothly."< br>
Uncle Zheng shook his head,
smiled;
“That’s why Your Majesty is trying to create tension between the Crown Prince and Lao Liu.”
“Well, when I hear you call me Lao Liu, you actually tell me that you are one of our brothers just like us. Feeling.”
“Your Majesty, you are free to do it first, so I will be free to do it.”
Although the fifth prince didn’t say the word “die” before, he already showed it. This means, it can be said that this is quite disrespectful.
If others dare to say that, just follow suit.
"Hey, if you, Uncle Pingye, were our brothers, our father would probably be very happy. Boss, I can't fight without you."
Emperor Yan hoped that one of the princes could take a leading position, at least in the army. Yes, he chose the eldest son of the emperor whom he cultivated quietly.
But Wangjiang regained everything after his defeat.
It can be said that that time was an attempt by Emperor Yan to take back the power in the army.
At that time, King Jingnan locked himself in the Jingnan Marquis Mansion.
If the eldest prince wins the Battle of Wangjiang, he finally drives out the barbarians and takes over the Jin Dynasty.
Next, it is a matter of course that the local governance rights will be taken back, and that the military leaders of various armies and even the Jingnan Army will also take back the power.
The premise is that King Jingnan does not rebel.
But King Jingnan will not rebel.
As long as he does not rebel, the imperial court can calmly absorb the Jingnan Army.
Don’t you see, have the Zhenbei Army been split up?
But who said Gou Moli was so successful?
In that battle at Wangjiang, Gou Moli not only defeated the Yan army, but also defeated the intervention of the Yan court. The rhythm of military power.
Finally, King Jingnan came out to take command again. He succeeded in one battle and his reputation reached its peak, which could no longer be shaken.
This is definitely not what the court wants to see.
However, Gou Moli was also miserable. He didn't expect to hit a small one, but a big one came, and then he was beaten into disgrace by Tian Wujing and Zheng Fan.
Even though the eldest prince is still leading troops, he is currently leading troops in Yinlang County, and he is dealing with Ganren.
What, can Ganren bite?
"To be disrespectful, Your Highness, if that is really the case, now I..."
The fifth prince shook his head and said: "No, I understand my father."< br>
Uncle Zheng smiled and said:
“Let’s not talk about this anymore. It has crossed too many boundaries.”
“I just let go. In fact, When I left Beijing, I had no thoughts about that. Working on the river these days also gave me more understanding of the people. No, it gave me more understanding of my own value. Experience.
That position,
Let the prince and the sixth child fight over it. If the fourth child wants to fight, he can give it a try. When the seventh child grows up, he can also think about it.
I am too lazy to pay attention anymore.
After this battle is over, I will ask for orders to stay and re-plan and manage Wangjiang. The water can be released and the river can be redirected, but in the end, someone has to finish it off.
I will do this. "
"Your Highness, today, you really impressed me. ”
"Just don't think I'm acting."
"If the play is acted so realistically, then there is no way out of the play."
The fifth prince closed his eyes, Savoring this sentence carefully, then nodded and said
;
“I have learned the lesson.”
The fifth prince got up, patted the dust on his body, and said:
"Uncle, do you want to cross the river?"
"I have to go to Yingdu. Your Highness will go with you?"
The fifth prince shook his head , smiled and said: "Except for the first time I went to Yingdu when I came here with my uncle, I haven't been there again since then.
I won't go, I will be here, congratulations Uncle Zheng’s triumphant return!”
With that said,
The fifth prince saluted respectfully:
"Ji family son, please take care of me, Uncle Hirano!"
Uncle Zheng took two steps back and returned the salute:< br>
“Thank you, Your Highness.”
The fifth prince left and left Yupan City.
After he left,
Gou Moli leaned over again silently,
said:
"Uncle and the prince said What? Looking at it from a distance, it should be quite a conversation.”
"Actually, there's nothing to talk about."
Gou Moli felt a little aggrieved when he heard this.
We have been chatting for so long, but yet we are so perfunctory.
It seems that I am still not my own person enough.
Uncle Zheng put his fingers on the wall crevices and tapped them,
Said:
"Uncle Ben has always had a bad habit. He is used to seeing the good side of people and things in this world."
The corners of Gou Moli's mouth twitched. Smoke,
This,
you actually have the nerve to say it?
"My uncle has a kind heart and a Bodhisattva heart. He has a bodhicitta heart that can save the world, and it is like the light of stars, spreading selflessly to the earth."
"I really believe it. I believe what His Highness the Fifth Prince just said. What he said , I was really touched and admired.”
“Yes, that prince is really tanned.”
Gou Moli has met His Highness. After all, we were in a motorcade on the way out of Beijing.
Originally, the Fifth Highness was white and fat;
Gou Moli once heard a blind man tease him about what a technical nerd was, and what a Gundam.
But now,
I have become thinner and darker, as if I have changed into a different person.
“But my life experience tells me that sometimes, some people like to put what they really want to say at the back. I don’t like this kind of people very much. It will be very tiring to talk to this kind of people. "
"Yes, I have always hated this kind of person. I always feel that this kind of person is very..."
"Because I am this kind of person myself."
"..." Gou Moli.
Uncle Zheng looked forward,
said slowly;
“What he just said has two meanings if you look at it from the back.”
Uncle Zheng raised a finger:
“On the first level, he is relatively simple and obedient, he is very well-behaved, and he is also very down-to-earth. He is different from Ji Laoliu and the prince. He has better control."
Uncle Zheng raised his second finger. :
"On the second floor, he will always stay here, in eastern Shanxi. If necessary, if you want to make a name for yourself, you can come here and catch him."
Gou Mo Li smiled and said; "A dragon gives birth to nine sons, none of them are simple."
Obviously, Gou Moli had already acquiesced to this statement, because in the world of the Savage King, the sky was originally black.
Uncle Zheng took a deep breath,
said:
“If what he wants to convey is really the meaning behind it, I’d really like it , Haha, I’m flattered.”
Gou Moli said:
"Uncle, the Fifth Highness didn't say it to you."
"Oh?"
"He said it to you after the great victory over Chu."
< br>"What you say is very good."
"In fact, uncle, you have already grasped the pearls of wisdom. In your heart, you are like a mirror. You are just scrutinizing your subordinates."
Uncle Zheng shook his head and said:
“Look at you, your old habit has happened again. I was really moved by him just now. Besides, how many times have I been touched by him? I don’t know how much it weighs, but I have it. What qualifications do you have to be so shy about asking you?"
Gou Moli took a step back, bowed his hands and said:
"But this is your greatest strength, uncle."
.........
Crossing the river, galloping through the starry night.
Last time, Uncle Zheng led troops into Yingdu. This time, there was no need to be so exaggerated, and he had to deliberately keep a low profile.
Although a troop of soldiers and horses suddenly withdrew from the front line to the bank of Wangjiang River, it certainly could not be hidden from the eyes and ears of interested people.
But seeing a troop of soldiers and horses coming back, and seeing myself, a plain man, coming back, are two completely different concepts.
Moreover, what he brought back this time included savages, some from his own army, and the rest were soldiers and horses from other departments. He also deliberately made some cover-ups. There were spies from the Chu Kingdom who wanted to find out these people in a short time. Which family's soldiers and horses it is also requires a lot of effort.
Because he had said hello in advance, Uncle Zheng and his personal guards were picked up by Mao Mingcai's people outside Yingdu City, and then went straight to the prefect's mansion in the city.
After the last trip to Yingdu,
Uncle Zheng and Prefect Mao formed a deep friendship.
Mao Mingcai's name is already on the gift list for New Year's Eve customs. It's no wonder that there are so many people.
Although King Jingnan didn't like Uncle Zheng's behavior, Uncle Zheng still felt that if something was done for free, it should be done.
Outside the prefecture, a group of soldiers patrolling the city held hands and all the servants in the mansion were let out.
Uncle Zheng came in through the back door. When he came to the back hall of the house, he found that Mao Mingcai and Sun Youdao were already waiting for him here.
"Hahaha, I am very happy that the general of the country has returned, hahahahaha."
Mao Mingcai smiled happily.
He actually didn't know about this military plan in advance;
But as the governor of Yingdu, how could the river work not be handled by him?
There is a battle ahead and a river is being built behind, how can he not be suspicious?
But he didn’t dare to ask.
The secret military order note of King Jingnan is here, and the secret order of Emperor Yan is also here.
Mao Mingcai understood the seriousness of the matter, so he did what he should do seriously.
Sun Youdao on the side, in charge of logistics operations as the Taifu of Jin people, is actually the same in this matter.
However, just a few days ago, a new military order from the King of Jingnan arrived. The military order was very brief, but it was enough for Mao Mingcai to get a glimpse of the truth.
He is from Yan,
Since he is from Yan,
Naturally, what he was thinking about was how to win this national war, so he didn't care about the consequences of breaking the embankment!
Sun Youdao's side has quite the mentality of a sword master. He has already done what he should do. Now, he wants to take care of his family's life.
Furthermore, after weighing the pros and cons, if the war lasts for a long time, the land of the Three Jin Dynasties will be more exhausted and more people will die.
It’s better,
just give this knife away!
However,
the two of them did not know in advance who the general who led the troops into Chu this time was, but after receiving the message from Uncle Zheng's messenger the day before yesterday, the two of them couldn't help but feel at ease.
Because,
in Dayan, in Jin,
outsiders actually have more confidence in Uncle Pingye than Zheng Fan himself!
Uncle Zheng was also very tired, and the armor he temporarily put on outside the city didn't fit very well and was uncomfortable. After coming in, he untied the armor and threw it casually on the ground next to him.
The armor fell to the ground,
it made a crisp sound:
“Crack, crack…”
………
"Crack, click..."
A group of soldiers patrolling the city ran quickly in formation, their armors making constant friction sounds.
The leader was Ran Min, who looked solemn.
Under the night,
They didn’t have torches,
Just a quick march in silence.
Not far from the direction they were heading,
was a large embankment.
“Who?”
“Who?”
On the embankment, there is a river patrol team composed of local men. They hold a torch in one hand and a gong in the other. On their waists, there is a water sign for handover.
However, before they could see clearly who was in front of them, two city patrol soldiers emerged from the grass behind them, strangled their necks, and then stabbed them with knives.
Ran Min shouted to the soldiers patrolling the city behind him:
"No one is left alive on the dam!"
"Here!"
"Here!"
A group of soldiers patrolling the city immediately dispersed.
Ran Min quickly ran up to a civilian husband and stabbed him directly in the chest.
“Poof!”
…………
"Poof!"
Mao Mingcai pierced the dagger into a piece of mutton.
Pointed to a copper pot placed in the center of the table,
smiled and said:
“I’ve been very busy these days, so I’ve been told to avoid food. , Taifu Sun has bad teeth. However, it’s okay for us to be vegetarians, but we can’t let Mr. Hirano eat this with us.
Only after eating well can you have the strength to kill Chu Nu.
Come, Uncle Zheng, cut the meat and cook it yourself. "
Taifu Sun nodded and said with a smile: "I was afraid that the news would leak out, so I sent the servants out early. Although I and Prefect Mao did not dare to call themselves gentlemen shamelessly, they were really far away from the kitchen.
So, I can only prepare this pot and cook whatever I want to eat, which is convenient and timely, haha. ”
The existence of hot pot has actually existed for a long time. However, these two people are eating health pot, the kind that does not add Sichuan peppercorns.
Uncle Zheng took out the dagger and said
;
“Thank you for your hard work, boy, I’m very grateful.”
“Hey, where are you, waiting for Zheng Uncle Zheng's triumphant return, I personally celebrated Uncle Zheng's victory at Wangjiang Tower in Yingdu!" Sun Youdao said.
"Hahaha, there must be a triumphant return." Mao Mingcai stood up and opened the lid of the pot, "Let me first check if the soup is boiling?"
After the lid of the pot was opened,
there was boiling soup inside:
"Gudu... Gudu... Gudu..."
………
"Gudu...Gudu...Gudu..."
Several bubbling water holes have appeared along the lower edge of the embankment.
This is an extremely dangerous sign, which means that a breach of the embankment may occur at any time.
That’s why local villagers patrol around the clock.
Of course, the fundamental reason for this situation is that the design of the levee is extremely unreasonable.
This kind of unreasonableness is not something that ordinary people can understand. They only know how to do as they are told, and they also feel that they are strengthening the embankment to prevent their hometown from being hit by floods.
The civilian husbands had been cleaned up and their bodies were thrown into the river.
Ran Min yelled at the men around him:
“dig!”
……
“I’ll dig it.”
Mao Mingcai took a spoon, dug out a large spoonful of lard from a white porcelain bowl next to him, and put it into the pot.
Uncle Zheng really wanted to tell them that he actually preferred butter hot pot.
But what should I say?
When in town, do as the Romans do.
Immediately, cut off a piece of mutton, hold it with chopsticks and put it inside to cook.
After rinsing,
put the meat into your mouth. Although the bottom of the pot is not spicy, it tastes really good. In addition, the mutton is indeed tender and melts in your mouth.
Sun Youdao picked up the jug and prepared to pour wine for Uncle Zheng.
Uncle Zheng said hurriedly:
"Drinking is not allowed in the army."
Although I am no longer in the military, I am still essentially at war. Drinking can easily cause problems.
Sun Youdao slapped his head,
said:
"I forgot, I forgot, hahaha, okay, then let's use tea instead of wine, use tea instead of wine .”
Sun You Tao stood up and went to the small stove next to him to pick up the teapot, but Sun Youdao's life of pampering had passed long enough. Although he was not pretentious and could not be said to be extravagant, this kind of thing like boiling water and pouring tea Son, I haven’t done this in decades.
When I picked up the teapot, I didn't expect it to be so hot and immediately dropped the teapot to the ground.
“Bang bang!”
…………
“Bang bang!”
A big stone was pried open, and then the river started flowing along the gap. It was pouring out desperately, and the gap was being torn open continuously, getting wider and wider.
In some places, cracks have begun to appear, and even landslides have occurred.
The embankment breaks,
it has begun!
………
“I, it’s really……” Sun Youdao was a little helpless, “It’s really……”
"It's fine that it's not burned, it's fine that it's not burned."
Mao Mingcai stood up, took a closer look, and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that Sun Youdao was not burned.
Although the transfer envoy of Yingdu is Sun Liang, everyone knows that the person who really helps Sun Liang take care of such a large number of affairs and manages them in an orderly manner is the former prime minister of Dacheng Kingdom in front of him. .
If he gets burned, Mao Mingcai will really lose a lot of helpers, and then he will have to worry about logistics.
"I'll make another pot." Sun Youdao said.
"No, no need." Uncle Zheng pointed to the bottom of the boiling pot in front of him, "Tea soup, tea soup, in fact, in the early years, wasn't tea just used to make soup, and it also had to be seasoned. Let's just use it Soup replaces tea and then wine!"
"Haha, it's so good."
Mao Mingcai scooped out three bowls of soup.
The three of them raised their bowls,
Sun Youdao: "Congratulations to Hirano Bo!"
Mao Mingcai said: "Congratulations on the great victory over Chu!"
Uncle Zheng said solemnly:
"Congratulations on Yan's unification of all Xia for thousands of years!"
In the pot,
the soup is still boiling, with vegetables and meat inside.
In the distance,
Wangjiang River is also boiling, and inside, there are vegetables and meat. (End of this chapter)
