Chapter 793: Cut to Eternal Rule
As long as the history of imperial power is, so is the history of eunuchs;
However, throughout the ages, eunuchs have been carried out in such a grand scene. This is what happened to Lord Zheng ;
Similarly,
At this time, General Nian also created an unprecedented person, and it is probably difficult to have any precedent in the future. He performed "castration" in front of tens of thousands of troops. "Etiquette", this ostentation is unprecedented.
It’s hard to say,
Eunuch Wei from Yanjing City cried with envy when he recalled the scene of him being mutilated in the darkroom.
However, General Nian was not an ordinary person after all. He did not burst into tears or lose his mind. Except that he was a little confused at first and didn't know what expression to use to face such a "mutilated" body. Next, , and returned to normal;
It was as if being cut was as simple as an arrow dropped from the battlefield.
Of course, as for the specific feeling in his heart, whether he is as calm as he appears on the surface, only God knows.
Marquis Zheng didn't care about it either.
Anyway,
he was happy.
The Eighth Prince, who had been standing nearby and witnessed the whole scene, had already begun to tremble.
Before Yupan City was besieged, he was driven back to Chu State by the sword maker. It seemed that he had experienced dangers, but in fact he knew in his heart that he was safe.
When you have confidence and support,
people can always pretend to be personable, calm and comfortable, and even believe it yourself.
Only when you really kick away these "ladders" can you realize how insignificant you are.
Below, the cheers of tens of thousands of soldiers made the Eighth Prince's head buzz. His eyes were only focused on the pool of red on Nian Yao's lower body.
“Pa!”
A hand
put on the Eighth Prince's shoulder.
“Ah!”
The Eighth Prince cried out, and then knelt down directly on the high platform.
Looking up, he found Zheng Fan who had walked up to him at some point.
"Pingxi...Master Hou..."
"Are you separated?"
"Sister...sister...brother-in-law..."
Suddenly, like before, It became so difficult to call the man in front of me "brother-in-law" like that.
"You should go back with me first, your sister really misses home."
"Okay... okay."
Zheng Houye nodded,
walked forward again.
Raised his hands,
The messenger soldiers who had been paying attention to the movements and words of the Marquis on the high platform immediately began to call for the phalanx they were in to quiet down.
Gradually, the cheers below subsided.
"Send a team of soldiers and horses to tell the Chu army on the opposite side that their general has completely lost Luan Zi. Ask them if he has any!
If you dare to fight,< br>
Let’s march out of the military camp,
let’s set up our military formation, charge forward, and kill each other
If there was no Luanzi,
that would be fine! "
"Hahahahaha! ! ! ! ! "
" Chu Nu has no Luanzi! "
"Chu Nu without Luanzi! ”
The crowd was excited again.
These soldiers originally came from different countries, and even from different ethnic groups. On the basis of solving the most basic problems of money, food and military salary, the blind man supplemented it with daily ideological and political education, and experienced victory after battle. ;
In addition, today, because the general of Chu State killed his own Pao Ze, his Lord Marquis led them into Chu State to capture Nian Yao alive, and then castrated him in front of the big guy. .
Actually, death in battle is not terrible. For these Qiu Ba, who is willing to take care of this job without the ruthlessness?
It's just a matter of whether you like it or not, and whether it goes your way or not. What's the harm in risking your life if you go with your heart?
The blind man under the high platform was very satisfied with this.
These soldiers are the elite of the Pingxi Houfu. In the future, when the land of eastern Shanxi develops better and the army expands more, these people are likely to gradually become the foundation of the lower-level officers.
The King of Jingnan can order the Yan army from top to bottom, and no one dares to disobey;
The King of Jingnan can also rebel. As long as he is willing, he can set off huge waves;< br>
But now, as soon as King Jingnan left, the former Jingnan Army was divided and disintegrated by the imperial court.
That's because when King Jingnan was there, the Jingnan Army was more willing to listen to their prince, but it was not because they hated the imperial court. After all, they themselves were basically Yan people. Compared to listening to the imperial court, they were more inclined to follow their own prince. .
But the Pingxihou Mansion will not be like this in the future.
The will of the imperial court will not be able to penetrate into Eastern Jin Dynasty. From top to bottom, there is no sense of belonging to the imperial court.
In the past, when the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion and the Jingnan Prince Mansion were at their peak, the generals below had the idea of dressing their marquises in "yellow robes", and they even made private contacts for this purpose;
In this case, if the general takes the lead and the soldiers are encouraged, the matter will be easily accomplished. However, by the same token, it can also be easily taken care of by the superiors who do not want to rebel.
But what if even ordinary soldiers are thinking about that?
This is... the character.
From the beginning, the blind man and other demon kings have been helping Zheng Fan create his own character. Similarly, because this kind of character is very satisfying, Zheng Houye is also fully committed to his cooperation.
After a long time,
just blow a flame gently,
It can ignite everything in an instant.
Thinking about this, the blind man felt a little pleased with himself. He stretched out his hand, took out another orange from his pocket, and slowly peeled it.
Don’t eat too much oranges, otherwise you will get angry;
So the blind man didn’t eat them after peeling them, but stuffed them all into the mouth of the Savage King.
With the Yan people's deliberate noise and notification, the Chu army camp on the opposite side also knew what was going on.
First of all, there is a lot of anger, which is inevitable.
But the gate of the military stronghold was not opened wide, and the Chu army inside did not leave the stronghold to prepare for war.
Although this Chu army is equal in number to the soldiers and horses brought by Zheng Houye, and even exceeds them by some, except for a large Chu royal forbidden army, most of them are They were drawn from county soldiers from various places. The composition was complex and the command was chaotic.
Being able to be stuck here is the most meaningful thing.
As long as the generals of the Chu army still have some brains, they will never make such a brainless decision to start a war.
And the Marquis of Pingxi was too lazy to go to the village to start a war now. The purpose of the war had been successfully completed. Next, it was time to pack up and go back.
Going back from Mengshan is very slow, but it is precisely this kind of slowness that is needed to restructure Fancheng’s system. At the same time, a force of soldiers and horses must be left to station here. Fancheng’s The strategic location is really important.
If Zhennanguan is like a spear, pressed against the throat of the Chu people, then Fancheng is like a shield, which can be used as a truly effective buffer zone.
And in terms of grand strategy, the Chu State, which was once arrogant and constantly engaged in annexation wars with foreign countries, was beaten to the ground by the tiger and wolf swallows. The influence has faded too much.
The grasshoppers will naturally follow the trend. After all, small countries do not have many choices.
Nowadays, the guard of the south gate is Ran Min. In Xiao Liuzi's plan, he needs Ran Min to promote Dayan's influence and strive to win more satellite states like Liang State there.
In time, Fan City is backed by Mengshan Mountain, and to the southwest, Qishan Mountain is also connected. The two strongest natural mountain barriers that originally served as Da Chu's defense against threats from the north will also be conquered by the Yan people. Penetration and mastery.
At that time, when the State of Yan has returned to its original state, it will no longer be necessary to take the road of Zhennanguan alone to attack Chu. The huge State of Chu, in front of the iron hoof of the Yan people, will become A sieve.
Of course, Marquis Zheng did not make dangerous moves for the sake of the "overall situation", but this does not prevent him from using these overall principles to support his motives for sending troops after the event is completed. .
In short, this is the end of a grand egg-cutting ceremony.
In the following days, the Chu people continued to send more troops here, while the Yan people were packing their bags and preparing to return to Jin via Mengshan Mountain.
The Chu people seemed to understand that the Yan people were going back and did not take the initiative to launch an offensive;
The Yan people also knew that they were going back and were too lazy to provoke any more;
Both sides , but they formed a kind of harmony where they knew each other well.
Of course,
Although the city of Yanjing still does not know the outcome of the war here, after learning that the war has begun, the decree from Yanjing, from the court, and from the new Emperor Yan has arrived here, and at the same time, it should also have arrived at Chu State.
The Emperor Yan's decree was very tough;
When the prince was sent to the Pingxi Hou Mansion, his attitude was extremely clear.
The Chu people want a small fight, so let’s ping the Xihou Mansion;
The Chu people want a big fight, that’s not mentioned, the Yan people are not afraid of tightening their belts and having another national war with the Chu people.
This is not a threat,
but the impression of the old Yan people and the Yan country as poor and poor has penetrated into the hearts of all countries.
The Chu people had just lost their general and a Zhuguo, and rationally, they did not dare to force the founding war again.
But for the sake of face, we will not take the initiative to ask for any peace treaty. We will just end it with a tacit understanding.
In fact, the people of Yan were relieved. If there was another national war, the people's lives in the land of Yan and Jin, which had finally improved, would become difficult again.
It's not that the Chu people are timid, or that the Yan people are lucky;
It's purely because the previous generation has truly established its reputation, the "brute strength" of the Yan people, and the national prestige that shocked all the Xia. Only with the dedication of one generation can the next generation have the opportunity to rest, rest, and develop in peace.
……
Fan Mansion.
Tomorrow, we will be separated.
Gou Moli is here to entertain Fan Zhengwen and Qu Peiluo.
It’s just that Gou Moli is not the one who wants to return to Jin. The Savage King was selected to stay and guard Fan City. Qu Peiluo returned to Fengxin, and Fan Zhengwen returned to Yanjing.
Originally the two owners here were leaving, but there was no reluctance to say goodbye.
Qu Peiluo can finally get rid of his previous extremely embarrassing status as a douchebag. After entering Fengxin City for a while, he can become a true traitor.
Fan Zhengwen, after this crisis, recognized himself and at the same time looked down upon some things. He believed that the court was the final destination for his development.
Gou Moli,
is excited to the naked eye!
He,
the former king of the snowfield,
after experiencing a series of good performances such as defeat, imprisonment, being a dog, being a groom, etc., finally, he was again Got the chance to be on my own!
Making a comeback is easier said than done, because you have stood on the top of the mountain and seen the scenery. When you return to the foot of the mountain, it will be difficult to regain the original intention of climbing the mountain steadily;
Gou Moli, get through it. .
The most important thing is,
He can finally leave the blind man, no longer has to be fed oranges, and the corners of his mouth are blistered!
For entertaining, it is a barbecue.
When Mr. Zheng had nothing to do, he also liked to call some people to come and play skewers from time to time. Gou Moli used this to entertain the two hosts who were about to leave.
After the meat rack was put up, Fan Zhengwen stretched out his hand to help flip it. He got started quickly, and Gou Moli was happy to relax. He held the garlic in his hand and began to peel it.
Eating meat should be paired with garlic, which relieves greasiness and is enjoyable.
Gou Moli pinched the garlic and said
;
"You two, do you know how many ways to cut that thing off?"
Fan Zhengwen smiled and said: "Although I have some medical skills, I have never dabbled in that area."
< br>Qu Peiluo also shook his head. As a former nobleman, how could he possibly understand that.
Gou Moli smiled and said:
“It’s just like peeling garlic. You see, you can put the garlic on your hands and rub it back and forth. The skin is also rubbed. After it came down, the same thing happened to Luanzi. Rubbing and squeezing with a little force for seven or eight days, that thing became necrotic, just like the wounds on the body that were not treated well during the war turned into rotten flesh. .
There is another way, which is to cut off the root from the bottom of the garlic, and then smoke it directly. Look, that's it...
The most direct way is to cut it with one knife, but the garlic will become smaller, and when you eat it, I don't feel that much in my heart anymore.
Our young general was cut into pieces.
I laid it on the ground for several days, but my life was still strong, and the wound did not fester. Haha, it seemed that I really was not going to die. ”
“The meat is roasted. "Fan Zhengwen said.
"Okay, come on, the garlic has been peeled. Here it is." Gou Moli held out the garlic.
"..." Fan text.
"..." Qu Peiluo.
“Don’t wonder why I know this. At that time, I also thought that there are only two places to learn things. One is the Yan people’s Beifeng County, and the other is in the palace.
As long as you can learn something , I am willing to take that knife, but after all, I am a savage, and I look different from you. Plus, I also went to see it. Well, it turns out that you have to queue up to cut yourself off and enter the palace. This is actually a hot spot. Make a living.
Alas, I had no choice but to go to Beifeng County in the end. "
"Fortunately, fortunately. "Fan Zhengwen said with emotion.
Gou Moli also nodded in agreement, looked at Fan Zhengwen and said:
"You can't do it anymore. "
Fan Zhengwen shook his head and retorted: "No, I think I'm okay. ”
"I heard that you can't even wear armor?"
"You have enough internal strength, you have enough internal strength."
"Hahaha." Gou Moli said with a smile, "But what's the use? ? Your wife is the aunt of the current emperor, and the emperor himself only has one concubine and one concubine. Will you be embarrassed to take a concubine when you go to Yanjing? "
Fan Zhengwen looked grim.
"Okay, okay, I also know that you, an old boy, have no ambition like me."
"Haha." Fan Zhengwen nodded, "I'm really scared and flattered."
After all, it is indeed a great compliment to be called "just like me" by the Savage King back then.
Gou Moli patted Qu Peiluo on the shoulder again with his garlic-scented hand,
and greeted Qu Peiluo in a fashionable manner. "Shoulder pat",
Said:
"You are different."
"What is different?" Qu Peiluo asked.
“The person from above who will grant you a marriage should be a daughter of the Ji clan.”
“I don’t want it.”
"Don't be stubborn. The Lord once said that a good drama must not only have the heroine you want, but also a supporting actress who can stay alone for you. Only then will it be good."
"What does drama mean?" Fan Zhengwen asked.
“Oh, it’s a popular drama in Fengxin City. It’s not a singing opera, but a platoon script. It focuses on the story of our Lord’s conquests in the south and the north. The common people love to watch it.”
"That's it."
Gou Moli bent down, looked at Qu Peiluo, and said seriously:
"Mr. Qu, you can still stand up. Infamy is nothing. Whoever stands in an orthodox position will shine like the stars at night."
Fan The text asked; "Then, what is orthodoxy?"
"Orthodoxy is..."
Gou Moli took a bite of more than half of the skewers and said
：
"Winner takes all!"
…………
Fan Mansion,
dungeon.
On the bed where the Eighth Prince originally slept, Nian Yao was now lying on the bed.
The Eighth Prince had just changed Nian Yao's medicine, and now he was wiping Nian Yao's face with a handkerchief.
"Oh, you slave, relax, I didn't expect that the day would come when the master would personally serve the slave."
Nian Yao laughed twice and said: "Slave Terrified.”
“Hahaha.”
The two of them are enjoying themselves.
"You've suffered a lot from this sword attack." The Eighth Prince sighed with emotion.
"There are two less knots and my body is lighter. It was already a bit of a hindrance."
"Hey, no need?"
"Who is my woman? , you don’t know?”
“I remember she was also a maid in Fourth Brother’s house, and was betrothed to you by Fourth Brother, right?”
"Yes."
"But it can't be said that it's useless. At most, you don't dare to go out and mess with women."
"We have been married for so many years, and our two children are so old. , that thing down there, sometimes it’s really It’s better to have nothing, it saves time, it’s not so tiring, and it’s not so boring.”
“This sounds a bit profound.”
“Your Majesty, you are still young. ”
"Yes."
After wiping his face,
the Eighth Prince leaned against the bed and said
"This knife of yours is also It’s worth it. This sword strike will cut off my Chu people’s face. From now on, we will fight to the death with this Yan people.”
"Originally, this slave also thought so." Nian Yao said.
The Eighth Prince was a little surprised and said: "Isn't it true?"
"My lord, do you really think that Ping Xihou is just to vent your anger? This person seems to act recklessly and casually, but In fact, there is something subtle inside. "
"Oh? "
"Who was castrated? "
"What are you, General?"
"Wrong, it's Nian Yao, the dog slave."
"Um..."
"Who is the one with a complete body?"
>
The Eighth Prince lowered his head and looked down at himself,
Said:
"It's me..."
"Wrong, it's the prince of Dachu, a descendant of the Xiong family of Dachu, a noble... of Dachu. It's not just you, I guess, this The next time, Qu Peiluo also had to go to the Yan Kingdom and gain an official position.
At that time, the Yan people invaded the Jin Dynasty. At the time of the chaos among the princes of Chu, the great nobles were able to quickly unite and allow Your Majesty to control the outside world.
It was because of Emperor Yan's actions in the Yan Kingdom that he stepped on the power of the people. In order to protect themselves, the nobles had to put aside their prejudices and support the regent
Nowadays,
one moment has changed,
the one who attacks the nobles the most is His Majesty. These nobles have a clear conscience.
The one who gave sweet dates to the nobles was from Yan and from the Pingxi Marquis Mansion.
The people of Yan want to implement a strategy of differentiation.
On the contrary, it's a good idea. "
"They are not that stupid, are they? "
"Haha. "
"Then...is there a solution? ”
Nian Yao glanced at the Eighth Prince,
Said:
“Yes.”
“Say.”
“Cut yourself too, then we will treat everyone equally.”
< br>"..." The Eighth Prince.

There will be more at night. (End of this chapter)
