Chapter 625 Humiliation
“Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!”
The heavy but still rhythmic breathing echoed in the yard.
As long as there are no accidents, in his free time, Mr. Zheng will always take half an afternoon to practice swordsmanship.
Studying hard in my previous life for the sake of college entrance exams and a good future seemed too illusory. Not many people could truly realize this at that time.
But Zheng Fan often has to appear in battle formations. At the same time, he also has to worry about assassinations and life-and-death threats. This is actually the most effective and direct spur.
The blind man appeared at the entrance of the yard and stood there watching his master practice his sword.
A warrior and a swordsman are two different paths.
But a swordsman is a swordsman, and what a swordsman pursues is a sword;
A warrior does not necessarily have to use a sword, and the reason why warriors basically wear swords is because of the word "sword" This kind of weapon is more suitable for the warrior's physique.
Of course, if appropriate, you can also use guns, clubs, meteor hammers, etc.
Zheng Houye has always practiced swordsmanship.
Even if the sword master lived next door, Zheng Houye did not choose to change his family and play with the sword fairy Piao Piao.
The quality of knives has been changing, from ordinary knives to black knives, but the original intention has never changed.
After practicing,
Zheng Fan sheathed the sword;
“My lord’s sword skills are getting better and better.”
“This flattery is so insincere.”
< br>"This subordinate is really not flattering, but I really see the intention of the sword. The master's talent has been proved to be very good."
Hetian Wujing, and the sword master, It’s not even comparable to Daxia Chen,
But Zheng Fan's qualifications are actually really excellent.
After all, he advanced to the sixth level in a few years, but he did not rely on drugs to push forward. The path he took was actually very practical.
"After a while, I have to take some time to take two people to practice. I feel that the heat is almost there, so I have to go out and see if I can find the bottleneck first."
“Bringing a Sword Master?”
“But wouldn’t the Sword Master be too boring?” Zheng Fan asked.
If you take the Sword Master as your bodyguard, are you still traveling?
“But the Lord’s safety is the most important thing, and none of us are free.”
The demon kings have no time to separate themselves, because each of them is responsible for a lot of things. .
“It’s too exaggerated to lead a sword master, let’s bring Daxia Chen.”
“Well, Daxia Chen is a down-to-earth man.” The blind man nodded in agreement, “However, I still suggest that the master should Bringing some spies trained by San'er to protect you secretly will also make it easier for you to be notified in time if something happens."
"I'm not going far, I'm just in the Tianduan Mountains."
"That's what I have to take with me, because once something big happens, I still have to rely on you, the Lord, to make the decision. This is not flattery."< br>
“Okay.”
Zheng Fan picked up a dry towel and wiped his upper body.
The blind man continued to report: "That grandma is awake. What Siniang means is that while she is awake, she can arrange San'er's marriage. Go through the process and offer tea at the end.
The subordinates think that Hu Bamei may be Ichi Taeko. She was the one who brought us that prophecy. I don't know whether I will continue to count on her in the future.
This is just like the Dragon Ball Radar, which allows us to take the upper hand.
For this reason, it is worth sacrificing one of San'er to win her over with favors, and besides, San'er is happy with it. "
"Okay, when you serve tea, call me. ”
Logically speaking, the man’s parents and the girl’s parents have to sit together and receive tea.
"As for those who have left restraints on Tiantian, or who have left Qi on Tiantian, I have calculated it, and it is probably only those aspects.
After all, with the power of Dayan now, , no matter how empty it is internally, externally it is extremely The prince of Jingnan can be said to be the foundation of Dayan's future.
This foundation can support the empire or collapse it. ”
"No other specific news?" Zheng Fan asked.
The blind man naturally knew what the Lord was asking,
Shaking his head,
said:
"There is still no concrete progress in Dujuan's matter, because the people on Tianhu Mountain are all dead, and even some of the parties involved at the time have long since died. The land is gone.
The subordinates feel that judging from the change in King Jingnan’s attitude towards the court, Emperor Yan should not It seems that he can be completely clean, but if his subordinate is Emperor Yan, he should not be so short-sighted as to kill the goose and retrieve the eggs at that time. This is not to avoid future troubles, but to lay mines for future generations.
After all. , although the eldest prince had assumed the post of marshal of the Eastern Expedition Army at that time, Dayan was still far from being able to use his best bows.
The most important thing is that
Yan Huang is not Lao Zhu, Tian Wujing, or Lan Yu. "
"Continue. "
Zheng Fan threw the towel into the water tank to wet it, and began to wipe his body again.
"Qian Guo should not be able to do it either, because my subordinates are determined not to think of anything to do with Qian Ren. How stupid do you have to be to play such a trick?
Perhaps, in this matter, the person who suffered the most and was the most angry was that he had done something to someone, and they would be very aggrieved. "
"Where is Chu State? "Zheng Fan asked.
"In this battle against Chu, we have fought frequently with the Fengchao inner guards, and we have a deeper understanding of this yamen. In fact, the Fengchao inner guards have really gained momentum. After the Prince Regent took over, it was not that big before. At least, the Chu court did not give him such great support;
In addition, many nobles extended their hands into the Phoenix Nest Guards to divide the cake, and it was the regent who was in charge. Later, the yamen was reshaped and made tidy.
When Du Juan died at Tianhu Mountain, rebellion among the princes was still breaking out in Chu State. Logically speaking, your eldest brother-in-law, my lord, should not have the chance to do such a thing.
Although, he actually had the most motive, because at that moment, once Du Juan's death caused Tian Wujing to turn against the Jingnan army and the Yan court, then it would be impossible for the Yan people to annex the entire three Jin lands. It is impossible for human troops to touch Chu.
Moreover, this move can also divert disaster to the east. Whether it is directing the hatred of the Yan people to itself or to the enemy, Chu State is undoubtedly the party that benefits the most.
But it’s still what my subordinate said before. The regent may have the ability or chance to know Du Juan’s identity through his own channels. He can do something. Chu State also has that ability. , but at that time, the regent could move so delicately, everyone was surprised, and there was nowhere to vent his anger;
This is obviously impossible, and this cannot be done in a hurry. Even if he is the prince of Chu, it won't work.
The difficulty of doing this is equivalent to the regent summoning a real fire phoenix instead of a spirit on the ruins of Yingdu. ”
"Ha." Zheng Fan smiled, "After all the rules have been ruled out, it can't be Gou Moli."
After all, the Savage King at that time was also considered to be at the card table, although that When he was a child, he would call himself Coyotito everywhere to pay respects to his grandfather;
"That is naturally impossible. If he really has that means, he will not hold the princess's embroidery. I have been sniffing shoes for so many years."
"What about the barbarians?" Zheng Fan asked, "It is said that the old barbarian king has two brushes."
"If it is possible for the barbarians. Rome in the West is also possible. They had a premonition that a new great empire was about to rise in the East, so they made a stumbling block in advance.”
Zheng Fan nodded.
The blind man also smiled and said nothing.
Barbarians and the West are indeed possible, but this possibility is slim because the operation is too difficult.
The biggest problem is,
They are just too far away.
"The person who can push this thing to happen should also be on the chessboard. He can't be too far away." The blind man said, "It's like us.
In the eyes of outsiders, even if the Lord You have become a marquis, but our team is still not taken seriously by outsiders. But in fact, we are capable of coming up with some big conspiracies. After all, We dare to make her unconscious, right?
So,
It seems that we have sorted out all the major forces, but there are still hidden things under the water. It’s the same as we are now, and we don’t have the power to go up to the stage.”
Zheng Fan picked up a robe and put it on himself,
Said:
“There is a more extreme possibility. Hu Bamei’s prophecy said that there is a guy who seems to be about to wake up in the cold pool, but who knows if one has already woken up before?
What if
there is a deaf person there
?
When the blind man heard this, he nodded, convinced.
"If we can't find out, we won't check for now. Anyway, if we have the opportunity to pick them one by one in the future, we will always run into one." Zheng Fan looked at this very openly, "Now, you are busy Development, I’m going to work on how to improve my strength.
This division of labor is pretty good.”
You seven can help me develop my power.
I. One of you will level up on behalf of the seven of you.
"By the way, Lord, there is one more thing I need to report to you. You should like this."
"Say."
The blind man took a few steps back,< br>
clapped his hands,
shouted:
"Come in."
For a while,
there were dense footsteps outside,
and then,
one after another figures came from the entrance of the courtyard and from He climbed up and down the wall, quickly came to Zheng Fan in an extremely neat manner, and knelt down in dense circles several times.
"See you, Lord Marquis!"
"See you, Lord Marquis!"
About two hundred people knelt down and worshiped.
Everyone,
wears a flying fish suit and holds an embroidered spring knife.
Marquis Zheng has always been obsessed with this neat and orderly arrangement since the time he briefly commanded the Marquis of Jingnan's personal guards.
Not the "Ula" that idiot Fan Li likes to call,
but the pure kind,
waving his hand,
people around him Wei understands what you mean very well, his movements are neat and consistent, and he has the same purpose, to enjoy going up to the mountain of swords and to the sea of fire for you.
Although
on the battlefield, Lord Zheng has been able to call on a large number of knights to sacrifice their lives for him, but it is not uniform.
At this moment,
being kneeled in the middle by a group of "Jin Yiwei",
Zheng Houye really felt a kind of "factory master" satisfaction that spontaneously emerged in his heart. feel.
"Lord, this group of people have been carefully selected and trained by San'er. They will gradually replace your original guard battalion and perform your security work.
Your original guard battalion , those who should be transferred to the army can be transferred to the army "If you are not suitable to be a captain and are loyal, you can go to training again, change your outfit and come back."
Zheng Fan did not speak, but walked to the soldier closest to him. He reached out and touched the clothes on his body.
The flying fish suit looks very cool,
especially when hundreds of people wear it, it looks very grand.
But Marquis Zheng is a person who likes to be practical. In particular, the strength of his personal guards is directly related to his own safety.
Fortunately,
Feiyu lowered his head and Zheng Houye took a picture of the inner armor.
After knocking,
Judging from the feel and echo, it was no surprise that it was fine iron inner armor.
The defense is very high, but...very expensive.
This is to raise the level of flashiness to a level that is still flashy and practical.
“Outside the city, there are still many refugees who have not yet received their winter clothes, and many people have caught wind and cold. But you let the Garment Bureau make their flying fish suits first.”
"But it looks good, my lord."
“The change of uniforms of our army has just begun. Many soldiers are wearing old armors and the standards are not uniform. However, you asked the Foundry Bureau to help them cast armors that are more time-consuming, laborious, material-intensive and costly. Inner Armor.”
"But they look good, my lord."
"They should be the best spies trained by San'er. After training, they left me here to work as security guards."
"But it looks good, my lord."
Zheng Fan nodded,
smiled,
Said:
“It really looks good.”
Zheng Fan clapped his hands and said
;
“Step back.”
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"
For a time, all two hundred "Feiyu suits" retreated in an orderly manner.
The knife on the shoulder and the sound of the sleeves rubbing together are neat, beautiful and pleasant to the ear.
“This, the number doesn’t need to be too much.” Zheng Fan said.
“Yes, I understand.”
"In addition, my subordinates have one more thing that needs to be reported. Maybe, my lord, you already know about it."
"Say."
"The princess plans to see Qu Peiluo today. "
"I know, she has reported it to me."
"Is the princess planning to follow Da Yuer's example in persuading Hong Chengchou to surrender?"
Zheng Fan shook his head and said: "First of all, Qu Peiluo has surrendered long ago. Secondly, I will not let my woman use sex to recruit my subordinates.
Firstly, I cannot be willing, and secondly, Qu Peiluo, is he worthy?"
Said,
Zheng Fan took out two cigarettes and handed one to the blind man,
said:
"The news from the Fan family didn't go to you?"
"The news from the Fan family went directly to the mansion."
Because the Fan family's affairs will involve When it comes to Ji Chengjue, how to handle the relationship with the sixth prince according to the situation must be left to the master.
Of course,
The most fundamental reason is that,
The blind man was worried that his master would be bored, so he deliberately left a hole so that his master could have something to do.
"Next time, you'd better integrate these messages and go over them from you first."
"Yes, I understand."
"It's from the Fan family. The news said that Nian Yao personally led a group of soldiers and horses to the outskirts of the Qu family."
"Oh?" The blind man was slightly surprised, "Is it so fast?"
"The Qingluan Army was first defeated and then surrendered on Qingtan. The Qu family committed the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and he deserved to be punished."
"That's what it said, but the Qu family Repeatedly, this is..." The blind man said, nodded, and said, "Perhaps my subordinates have used too many conspiracies and tricks, so I don't care about these halls. Some of the things that are upright are dark under the lights. "
"So, my uncle probably doesn't plan to start another war in the short term. He seems to be single-minded and wants to live in peace. Route. "
In a short period of time, if you want to gather strength, you must unite all forces.
Just like when Yan State invaded Jin;
But now,
The uncle seems to be planning to cut the knot quickly.
Don’t say that the Qu family is guilty of serious crimes. It is justifiable to attack him. Even if the Qu family is innocent, you occupy such a large fiefdom and once controlled so many private soldiers.
This
is not tolerated by the central government.
"Would the regent of Chu do that, like Emperor Yan did..."
Zheng Fan nodded and said: "I have been in contact with him. How should I say, he gave My feeling is really similar to when I met Emperor Yan face to face. Moreover, he should be sure that he can live for a long, long time. I think this should be related to the sealed spirit in his body.
And, he did. Things are too objective and too calm.
In the battle against Chu, after I burned Jingcheng, he immediately lay down and started killing nobles with borrowed swords. Even Yingdu said he would give up. He gave up and wanted to bet Tian Wujing's life.
He was sure that there would be a big disaster in the Yan and Jin lands, and the national strength of the Yan State would not allow the war to continue to expand and continue.
< br>
Now,
Since he has already done the first year of junior high school, he will not hesitate for the remaining fifteen years.
First destroy the Qu family in the name of righteous punishment,
then use other means, not even so concerned about food and status, to carry out further attacks on those great nobles who have been hollowed out. After cleaning up and centralizing power, we can develop patiently and wait for the opportunity.
Say,
I will never live like him, completely without passion or emotion. "
"Then, my lord, you asked the princess to go there because you wanted to send troops to help the Qu family? "
"The Fan family's land and the Mengshan land are my bottom line, and they are also written in the peace treaty. In fact, the Qu family didn't mention it at all in the peace treaty.
It's an exchange,
It's me,
I sold Qu Peiluo, who was defeated and surrendered to me, in exchange
for the Fan family and Mengshan to continue to remain independent.
I believe that my uncle understands my bottom line. ”
Zheng Fan blew out a smoke ring and shook the ashes,
Said:
“The most important thing is that after Lao Tian and the main force of the Jingnan Army withdrew from the eastern part of Shanxi, it is now impossible for us to launch an offensive against Chu alone, let alone rescue the Qu family.
Even,
to put it bluntly,
Even the Chu people really want to take back the Fan family’s small territory, but we are beyond our reach. .
But,
If he attacks the Fan family,
then I will definitely let Jin Shuke do something in Shanggu County. Everyone will no longer be in peace and will even become war horses in the future. Smuggling business;
I will ask Jin Shuke to constantly send small groups of cavalry out of Shanggu County to harass the territory of Chu State and create obstacles for him. ”
“In matters of military affairs, my subordinates cannot see as far and as clearly as you, my lord. ”
"So, the reason why I agreed to let the princess go to see Qu Peiluo is... I want to let him go. Now, let him go back."
Speaking of this,
Zheng Hou A faint smile appeared on the master's face,
"I will ask A Cheng to separate some of the prisoners of the Qingluan Army and let Qu Peiluo take them back together. Go, when he goes back, he should be able to see the scene where the Qu family's ancestral hall was burned to the ground by Nian Yao, and all the Qu family members were slaughtered."
"The Lord thought that Qu Peiluo would rebel against the Chu State. Revenge of the imperial court? But my subordinates feel that after seeing the filial son too much, it seems that this kind of thing becomes less certain.”
The hatred of genocide is irreconcilable;
It should be like this in theory, but in reality, there have been many counterexamples.
As for the regent of Da Chu, that person, with his courage in doing things, would really destroy the entire clan while continuing to promote Qu Peiluo, as long as he was useful.
“So, I asked him to take some prisoners of the Qingluan Army back. You must know that most of the people in the Qingluan Army are actually people of the Qu family and generations of slaves of the Qu family.< br>
Qu Peiluo can endure the hatred of one person, but can he endure the hatred of that group of people? ”
Zheng Fan threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it with the sole of his boot.
“Who said we can’t send any more troops now? We can only throw another fly into my uncle’s bowl. Now, let Qu Peiluo, the young master of the Qu family, once again carry the banner of the Zhu Kingdom after returning, and summon those who will come next. The nobles who will be liquidated will be given something to do."
"Let the Fan family give them some support?" The blind man said, "This is really interesting."
Once. The relationship between master and slave,
After going round and round,
The slave wants to help the master.
“The reason why Emperor Yan’s horse stepped on the door so neatly was because he not only controlled the two most powerful armies of Yan with the support of the two marquises;
The main reason The reason is that Dayan won a series of victories in the subsequent external wars, successfully increasing its prestige and at the same time diverting internal conflicts. At that time, you and I could both see and understand that once the external war was thwarted, the internal chaos of the Yan Kingdom would immediately turn into chaos.
Look now, Zuo Jiqian has been promoted here. As for the guerrilla general, he is a former soldier.
As for my uncle, haha, where can he divert the conflict?
It’s impossible.
Let’s go and fight Qian Guo, right? "
...
The military stronghold of the Royal Forbidden Army appeared on the edge of Qu's fiefdom.
In the past, this was actually a great provocation.
Because in terms of political status, the private fiefdoms of the great nobles are sacred. The great nobles recognize the Xiong family as the royal family, but the great Chu world was conquered by them and the Xiong family. Naturally, they have to sit together.
It’s just that your bench is taller and ours is shorter.
It’s not that the nobility has declined, been annexed, and abolished. It’s not that the emperor of Chu has never wanted to strengthen the centralization of power to suppress the nobility, and it’s not that there has been no success at all;
But once Later, the nobles had an instinctive sense of crisis. When necessary, under the pressure of imperial power, When forced, they will know how to unite;
Secondly, during the transition of imperial power, the princes will inevitably need support from the nobility, so it often happens that I managed to weaken some of the nobility when I was in power. The fiefdom and power were returned when his son succeeded to the throne.
However, Qu Shi is different after all.
Even if his young master was defeated and surrendered to the Yan people, even if the Qingluan army turned back and became the Yan people's servant army,
But the Qu family is still the Qu family.
Its heritage is here, and so is the prestige of its Zhuguo lineage.
Even for such a big crime, in the past, it was nothing more than three drinks of wine as a penalty, expelling Qu Peiluo from the clan, and disowning this descendant.
In fact,
Qu's family did do this. After learning about Qu Peiluo's defeat and surrender, Qu's first reaction was to hold a clan meeting and the clan leader fired him in public. Qu Peiluo knew the identity of Qu's descendants and his direct lineage; he also sent a letter to the regent to express Qu's attitude.
Then,
When the Yan army, led by Ping Xihou, began to dig the ancestral graves of the nobles, Qu was a little nervous. For this reason, she also sent someone to contact the Yan army.
Hey, don’t tell me, Marquis Pingxi is very considerate!
After all, the Yan people were powerful at that time, and the capital of Ying was burned by the Yan people. Therefore, Qu sent people to the Yan people to contact the Qingluan Army and Qu Peiluo, and brought letters and greetings.
In short, the meaning is that expelling you from the clan is forced by the current situation. You are still the direct young master of the Qu family, and you are still the good son of the Qu family.
Betting on your opponent, every big noble knows this well.
The war ended, the peace treaty was concluded, the Yan people withdrew their troops, and the Qu family declared the world again, rebuking Qu Peiluo, his unworthy descendant, and forgetting his ancestral lineage.
Then,
Mrs. Qu felt that she had done enough, so she also sent a new head of the family elected by the direct line to go to Wang Jia to plead guilty again, crying bitterly to show her loyalty.
Things are almost as good as this. Isn’t this how we have been living for hundreds of years?
A big noble, especially one of Qu's stature, even if they are guilty of treason and finally admit their mistake, that's it. What else do you want?
The Qu people feel that they have done a good job and have a correct attitude. In fact, many Qu people are already making noises, planning to reorganize the Qingluan Army, and then attack the Fan family. Take back the Mengshan boundary.
They were not trying to regain lost territory for Chu State, but to regain their own fiefdoms.
Then,
a royal imperial army under the banner of a general appeared
at the edge of the Qu family's fiefdom.
For a time,
the whole Qu family was panicked. They immediately sent people to the military camp to inquire about the news and asked to see the general, but they were all rejected by the general. The elders of the clan came forward in person, but still failed to be summoned by General Nian.
The terrifying haze,
came deeply into this area for the first time.
Even when the Yan people's troops missed here, it was not so depressing.
......
"Do you really want to be so awesome?" Xiong Tingshan asked sitting in front of the regent.
"Interesting, whose side are you sitting on?" the Prince Regent asked while reviewing the memorial.
“I can’t swallow this breath.”
“Whether you can or not, you have to swallow. In fact, you also know that since my brother-in-law burned Jingcheng, we have The battle cannot be won.”
“But it shouldn’t be like this.”
“This is the best result, fifth brother, I hope you can help me. We two brothers will work together to clean up the house thoroughly. Then we can plant a few crops and the granary will be full. , the dolls also started running, jumping and making trouble on the field;
Let's get back all the lost face and lizi. "
"Fourth brother, I feel so panicked in my heart. I didn't expect it to be like this. Really, I didn't expect it to be like this. I thought I could help you keep the Yan people from the north. But you..."
"Okay, okay, let's do something, go back to your Wutong County quickly, take charge of the situation, suppress a group of people, and also support a group of people.
Those Shanyue people have been conquered by our great Chu for hundreds of years. Their leaders have long spoken and written Xia characters. To put it bluntly, except for a little difference in appearance, in fact, they What is the real difference between me and Chu people?
I can open the door of the imperial court, let them join the imperial court as officials, and let them become our own people. ”
Hearing this,
His Royal Highness Xiong Tingshan clenched his fists and stood up,
< br>almost roared;
“Fourth brother, how dare you do this!”
“Why not? Fifth brother, I thought you would be more open-minded than me, and even more open-minded. Nice to see this, right? ”
"This...this is wrong."
"There is nothing wrong. Can you say that your child is not from Chu?
Learn Xia Yan, write Xia characters, and follow Chu etiquette. This is the Chu people. For hundreds of years, we have been making trouble in the south of Da Chu. It’s time to end.
I,
do not want to be the emperor of the nobles of Da Chu,
<. br>
What I want to be
is the emperor of the entire people of Chu.
As long as Southern Xinjiang can be brought in and the troubles of Shanyue are completely eliminated, the recovery of our great Chu's national power will be faster, and even the great Chu after recovery will be even more powerful than before.
To put it bluntly,
The land of abundance in the world,
One point is in Yan, one point is in Jin, five points is in Qian, and three points are in Chu. But in fact, those three points are in Chu, and they do not include the southern border of our great Chu.
Let’s see how the Yan people toss and make trouble,
His family foundation,
that’s all,
let him build it,
>
If you really want to fight,
I,
will not be afraid of him! "
Xiong Tingshan took a deep breath, bit his lip, and asked a very practical question,
said:
"Fourth brother, you want to let the Shanyue people enter the court, and you want to suppress the nobles. Those nobles will go crazy, and even the common people will go crazy."
Said,
< br>Xiong Tingshan pointed outside,
“Will the Forbidden Army also go crazy?”
The implication is,
This is a defeated country, but it has begun to act so violently and aggressively internally. Is your throne still secure?
Hearing this question,
the regent smiled,
said:
“Actually, you also know that I have always been very fond of the Yan Kingdom. I admire that emperor very much, so I plan to see the wise and admire him.”
...
For many days,
the Qu clan could not see General Nian, and could only watch the general's flag flying in the military camp.
The rebuke from the imperial edict and the instigation of troops to investigate the crime are far more comfortable than this complete silence.
Finally,
In the early morning of this day, the royal imperial army was dispatched. They divided into several groups and officially entered the heart of Qu's fiefdom.
The Qu family's fiefdom is very large, and the population is actually quite large, but those with the surname Qu are only a minority after all.
Although the entry of the royal imperial army made the Qu clan panic and uneasy, the local people seemed very indifferent.
The royal imperial army holding the general's flag marched directly outside the city where the Qu clan's main clan is located.
A eunuch holds an imperial edict,
Walking to the front of the army,
under the watchful eyes of the Qu clan and some private soldiers who had just managed to get together at the top of the city,
the imperial edict was read out:
"I am bound by heaven. The emperor issued an edict: The Qu family has been favored by the country in this life, but did not think about serving the country with loyalty. He surrendered to the enemy in front of the battle and acted as a stooge. He cut himself off from his ancestors, cut himself off from his ancestral hall, and cut himself off from the appearance of the country."
This is a very brief imperial edict,< br>
While reciting this loudly,
the eunuch raised his head,
looking at the densely packed heads on the city wall,
a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth,
“His crime must be punished!”
...
Min'an City, located in Minshan Mountain, is a strategic city. In the early years, this was the boundary of Qi State.
The State of Qi is the heartland of the Xia Dynasty, a country that was divided during the chaotic period after the collapse of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Originally, Qi State did not intend to get involved in the war in the Central Plains. Because it felt that its opponents were getting stronger and stronger, it simply expanded eastward to bully the Shanyue people there. At the same time, it reached the goal of opening up borders to expand the territory and population. Purpose.
At that time, the Chu people were actually constantly encroaching on the territory of the Shanyue people. In short, at that time, the Shanyue people were just a slave, and anyone could bully him.
In the end, the two sides bullied each other, leading to a collision. A war broke out between Chu and Qi, but the main force of Qi had to be placed in the west to prevent itself from being annexed by other countries, and this branch of Chu was not The Royal Forbidden Army is a private army sent by a noble family.
So, the scale of the war after the two sides collide is actually not large. Usually, today you take my military stronghold, and tomorrow I occupy one of your military fortresses, and it means fighting, which is thousands of people. of charge.
Anyway, both sides are currently opening maps and do not have the energy to carry out actual control. Therefore, they just want to show off their military power in front of the local Shanyue people and make the local Shanyue people surrender to themselves instead of surrendering. to the other party.
Then, as the momentum of the Chu people to expand to the southwest border became stronger and stronger, more and more manpower, material resources and military power could be delivered. However, it was taken for granted that Chu State officially attacked Qi State, and Didn't show up.
Because, at that time, the Kingdom of Qian was born.
Yes, when the Qian Kingdom was just born, it was actually full of martial virtues. Under the leadership of Emperor Taizu of the Qian Kingdom, they destroyed many separatist countries and completed the internal unification. The Qi Kingdom also became the Qian Kingdom's attack force. object.
So, at that time, the Chu people actually supported Qi State to resist Qian State.
But the troops and generals of the Qian State at that time were very capable of fighting, and the Qi State was eventually destroyed. For this reason, the Chu people and the Gan people fought several times on the border.
The Chu people failed to take advantage. The Gan people had too good territory. After losing the Qi State, they did not have much desire to expand externally. At least, they did not intend to fight for a piece of Shanyue people's territory. The founding war of Chu State.
In addition, after the death of Emperor Taizu of the Qian Kingdom, Emperor Taizong was defeated by the first Zhenbei Marquis in his Northern Expedition, which caused the military of the Qian Kingdom to stagnate. Slowly, the southeastern territory of the Qian Kingdom was fixed. On the front line of Minshan Mountain.
In recent years, although there have been occasional frictions between Qian and Chu on the border, they have all been within control. Most of the time it is because the Chu people are digesting their territory, and the Gan people have accepted the chain reactions caused by some people who escaped from the mountains.
Then,
As the Yan people began to use troops abroad, the border between the two sides became completely quiet.
Minzhou City is a "big city" in the surrounding area, and it is also a distribution center for nearby materials, including the Shanyue people in Chu State. What they call "going to the market" actually means bringing mountain goods or other products to Minzhou. Trade in the state capital.
In the early years, Ganren's military equipment was depleted, and the three sides were severely depleted and depleted, not to mention the not-so-important southeastern border defenders.
Fortunately, cats have their own ways, and mice have their own ways. If the court pays them not enough, the big-headed soldiers can change their appearance and become businessmen.
The first is local mutual trade, and the second is the commission from caravans, which is so-called smuggling. In short, military business was once a traditional skill of the leaders of the national army.
In this regard, the husbands and ministers of the past dynasties also turned a blind eye to this. After all, if you really become a "warrior who does not love money", the husbands and officials will be even more scared.
Today is the first day of the new year, and as usual it is the day of the meeting.
One by one, the soldiers wearing Ganren armor began to adjust goods and organize the caravans to come in and out. Some young generals were more skillful with abacus than with swords.
A caravan from the Chu region came in.
The Gan soldiers dispersed the Shanyue tribesmen blocking the road and let the caravan in. One by one, they had flowers on their faces and were obviously happy. Got pregnant.
They knew that the Yan people attacked Chu, and the Chu people were beaten badly. Many nobles were destroyed, and even their ancestral graves were dug up by the Marquis of Pingxi.
Therefore, the nobles of Chu State who were seriously injured are in urgent need of blood. Therefore, the goods will be better and the price will be cheaper, just to ship the goods as soon as possible and reap the benefits.
It is profitable for Qian Ren. Who doesn’t have his own business behind his back? Even if it is not open, it is still responsible for a share of business here for the big shots from Shangjing.
This kind of business, where the other party is eager to take action, is naturally more profitable.
Even,
for the ownership of this Chudi caravan, several generals actually pulled their subordinates and started fighting directly.
Because they know in their hearts that no matter who eats this batch of goods, they will definitely make a lot of money.
The scene was very chaotic for a time.
It stands to reason that
As a military town, Minzhou City will not deteriorate to this level. At least, a certain level of decency must be maintained.
But the problem is that
In the past two years, the imperial court has deployed troops from here twice to strengthen the three sides.
Those who are thorny, those who still have some dreams, those who are not willing to join the others, and those who are really good at leading troops and making a difference, have all been squeezed out by local interests.
Therefore,
The current Minzhou City is a trading city on the southeastern boundary of Qian Kingdom.
At this moment,
the shopkeeper of Chudi Caravan, who had been stuffing money here and there to pass the customs with a smile on his face, suddenly took out a fire letter and pulled it open.
“Whoosh!”
The next moment,
the caravan guys and the Shanyue people who came to the market today all took out their weapons and attacked the Ganren defenders in the city.
Outside the city,
A Chu army with a neat appearance emerged and launched a charge towards Minzhou City.
Along the southeastern border of Qianchu, similar scenes happened in many places at the same time.
In a military stronghold,
General Nian Yaonian, who had been suppressed by Jingnan Wang Tian Wujing for a long time at Zhennan Pass and did not dare to fart,
walked out of the commander's tent,
Today,
Old age finally takes its toll on people,
I found the joy of being a general again.
Looking at the beacon fire rising in front,
the old man stretched himself carelessly,
then,
vomited heavily on the ground saliva,
Cursed;
"Straight bitch, intercourse is called fighting, intercourse is called fighting!" (End of Chapter)
