Chapter 837 The survivors of Daxia
The handsome tent will be set up in Tengjia Village tonight.
Tengjia Village is very safe here. First of all, this is the Zhao territory. When the Yan army entered the Zhao territory, except for the removal of some forts and small county towns that were really in the way, they basically never fought with the Zhao army. We have fought against each other before;
Firstly, because such a small country There are not many soldiers and horses. Before the Liang Kingdom expanded its army, there were only 20,000 regular soldiers in the country, and they were stationed in several places. Secondly, even if a war broke out temporarily, they would pull out auxiliary soldiers and civilians to join in the fight. , forcibly raise tens of thousands, and its combat effectiveness is basically negligible.
When the Battle of Liangdi occurred, in the entire Liang Kingdom, only General Pu's army played some role, and the rest of the Liang army just occupied a pit.
There are examples of monarchs from small countries like Helu and Goujian, but they are too rare. At least, they are incompatible with the current Zhao country.
The real threat is the Qianchu Allied Forces, but the Qianchu Allied Forces are based in the Liang State. If they want to use the "cage strategy" to deal with Li Fusheng in the Zhao State, they will also We have to see if Prince Pingxi is willing to cooperate.
Furthermore, the other two armies are not vegetarians;
Right now, there are only two ways left for the Qian and Chu armies in Liang;
Or, retreat, abandon the Liang Kingdom directly, and go back to each house to find their mothers before the Yan army's prison cage is set up;
Or, stick to Liang Guo, fight another war of attrition with the Yan army, and at the same time wait for the support of the army from Qianchu, which will directly start the Three Kingdoms War.
There is no third rule.
The initiative to attack now is actually to expose the Yan people and leave a loophole for the wolves.
In the final analysis,
The Yan people were defeated once, and the Yan country’s national power was also extremely weak,
But at least in the short-term battlefield situation, the strong position of the Yan people is still very obvious. Unless the Qianchu coalition forces can fight two more battles like the one that destroyed Hu Weibo, they will still be unable to change this situation on the battlefield.
Therefore,
King Pingxi did not panic,
he also ordered He Chunlai to make a chicken stew for himself in the evening.
The blind man came back in a hurry. Unlike the previous expedition, when everyone gathered around the Lord, now more soldiers and horses were mobilized, and other aspects also needed "family members" to watch. The blind man has been Organize the rear route for the rear army, and at the same time collect and store the looted grain and grass;
The stored grain and grass will be distributed again. This may seem like taking off your pants to fart, but in fact it is the essence of fighting to support war.
Fighting to support war does not mean that after winning a battle and having a full meal, you can continue to fight the next one and continue to eat. The army is not a bandit. It must be supported by a stable order structure to ensure its good operation. .
When the blind man came back, he saw A Ming and Cahir sitting in the tent next door, drinking wine;
After entering, he saw the Lord and the Sword Master sitting together eating chicken pot. .
In addition, there was a woman sitting there, and behind the woman, lying a man with a bruised nose and swollen face.
The blind man came in, picked up the bowls and chopsticks and started working without saying a word.
Everyone ate quickly and didn’t rush to talk.
When everyone was full, they all put down their bowls and chopsticks one by one.
The Sword Master stood up and wanted to leave, but Zheng Fan reached out to hold him back;
“Be cautious.”
The sword master had no choice but to sit down.
Zheng Fan briefly told the blind man about the women during the day, especially the sentence about the snowy field.
The woman has been sitting there quietly;
After the blind man heard that the woman and her "husband" had nothing to do with each other,
The blind man smiled,
Said:
“She wants to negotiate terms.”
It doesn’t make any sense whether she and her “husband” are not indebted to each other.
She herself knows this very well. Since she said "that person in the snow field", it proves that she has revealed a corner of her secret; It happened, but it’s impossible;
While saving her "husband", she also wanted something else.
The blind man looked at the woman and said:
"Tell me your conditions."
"I am hungry, and so is he."
< br>The woman spoke.
The blind man pointed at Zheng Fan and said: "My prince doesn't like this style. Sometimes, he would rather not know the secret than get used to your bad habits."
The woman felt aggrieved and said; "I haven't eaten, I'm really hungry, so let me I'll have something to eat with him first, and then I'll talk about it, there's nothing else to say."
"Seriously?"
"What about the conditions? Just a full meal?”
"When you go on your way, I won't mention any conditions for now. When you finish eating, you will ask and I will answer. When you finish asking, I will finish talking. Finally, I will tell you what I want."
"If we Don’t agree?”
“You will agree.”
“So sure?”
“My conditions are beneficial to you. .”
The blind man turned his head and "looked" at Zheng Fan.
Zheng Fan nodded.
The blind man asked Liu Dahu, who was waiting outside, to bring in more food.
Liu Dahu brought a bowl of steamed buns.
It’s not the snowy custom stuffed buns, it’s solid steamed buns.
The woman sat down first, picked up the steamed buns, and started eating. Then, she turned to look at Teng Yihan in the corner and cursed:
"Come here, eat."
Teng Yihan nodded. Head, he was very afraid of the atmosphere in the handsome tent, the furnishings here, the people here, and the smell here, all made this man, who did the most outrageous thing in his life, pick up fallen crops on the battlefield, feel scared from the inside out. .
But he still listened to the woman instinctively;
got up, walked over, and sat down.
The two of them used steamed buns and the remaining chicken to make soup. They ate very deliciously.
Finally, the woman was full.
Man, you’re not full yet.
The woman scolded: "Go away and eat."
Teng Yihan nodded, took three steamed buns, and returned to his exclusive corner.
The woman reached out to take the handkerchief in front of King Pingxi;
She hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took it, then folded it, wiped her mouth and hands, put down the handkerchief, and sat upright;
Looked at Prince Pingxi first, then looked at the blind man, and said to the blind man:
“You can ask.”
“Tea.”
Liu Dahu came in with a teapot and started pouring tea.
Drinking tea in the army is not so particular. Just add hot water and tea. In fact, even the sergeants in the army like to drink tea when marching. It can relieve fatigue and replenish the energy. Point out what the human body needs.
The soldiers did not understand the latter, but the military habits formed over the years naturally made sense.
The woman held the cup in her hand, blew on it, and took a sip.
On the other end, the man choked and started beating his chest.
Liu Dahu took another glass and gave it to the man. The man took it and took a big sip, which was so hot that he screamed.
King Pingxi waved his hand,
Liu Dahu picked up the man and took him out of the handsome tent.
The blind man nodded and began to ask:
"Tell me about your identity first."
The woman answered: "My surname is Chen..."
The blind man immediately said to Zheng Fan: "The surname of Daxia is."
Zheng Fan rolled his eyelids and said: "I know."
"My subordinate is being rude."
A member of the Daxia royal family, with the surname "Chen".
The woman continued: "I am a survivor of Daxia."
Zheng Fan couldn't help but think of the words of the man in black armor in the palace dungeon, the curse from Daxia.
Obviously, according to the development of the world structure, the so-called prophecy of the arrival of the devil should be inseparable from the Great Xia that year.
"My name is Ning, Chen Ning; my family has guarded a secret from generation to generation."
Hearing this, the prince couldn't help but stretch out his little finger and pick his ears;< br>
Oh, that damn cheesy opening line.
“According to the secret, twenty years later, seven loyal souls of Daxia will be reincarnated to assist the new son of Daxia, revive our Daxia, and unify the world.”
Seven, seven again;
And this time it is very clear that a Daxiazi is added, which is the so-called... Lord.
It’s just that in this woman’s mouth, it’s the seven loyal souls of Great Xia, not some “devil king”;
The blind man said: "He is a hero and I am an enemy of the bandits."
In the eyes of others, it is the devil who brings trouble to the world, but in the eyes of the survivors of Daxia, it is an opportunity for the revival of Daxia. The butt determines the head. The brain then determines the perspective.
Therefore, the version of the prophecy will change a lot. What does not change is the foundation, but what changes is the stance.
"Who is Daxiazi? Where is he?" the blind man asked.
Chen Ning shook her head and said: "I don't know, even my father didn't know when he was alive."
"Aren't you a survivor of Daxia?" the blind man asked.
“How much do you think the survivors of Daxia can do today?
When Daxia collapsed, the three princes sat idly by and ignored them, and none of them sent troops to help them. They just watched helplessly The ancient land of Daxia in the past has become a battlefield for warlords.
For hundreds of years, there has been no sealing. They didn’t even dare to build an ancestral temple. The so-called survivors of the Great Xia had been blown away by the rain and wind long ago.”
The history of the collapse of the Great Xia was very chaotic and bloody, not to mention the subsequent collapse of the Great Xia. Some warlords who wanted to "hijack the emperor to control the princes" were grouped together to attack them, which was tantamount to digging up the roots of the survivors of Daxia in disguise.
Hundreds of years have passed,
The three princes of the year have become three major countries;
The Qian Kingdom was established in the hometown of Daxia;
For these four major countries , the so-called "remnants of the Great Xia" are actually their "black history";
Of course, I hope that the Great Xia of that year will completely disappear.
It’s okay to disappear into the crowd. In the old days, Wang Xietang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people. This is the general trend;
Those who really dare to gather and stand out in their own identity will inevitably encounter the secret agents and silver armors. The guards in Wei Fengchao and others all strangled him. On this point, everyone has the same position.
The most important thing is, hundreds of years have passed, how many people who care about the motherland do you still want to wait for you to cheer up?
How many people will continue to be loyal to your banner and wait for your return as the emperor?
How much more underground power do you want to attract? Once your trump card is revealed, it will shake the world?
Impossible.
During the Qing Dynasty, the rebels all shouted "Reverse the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty". Who else shouted "Reverse the Qing Dynasty and restore the Song Dynasty"?
Chen Ning continued:
"My family changed its surname to Qiu a hundred years ago and settled down and operated in Liang Guo. My father became the general of Liang Guo. I may have been rationed myself. One of his father's lieutenants.
Only our own people know about the survivors of Daxia. My father, my uncles, and my brothers, even my husband don’t know that he is actually a prince-consort. < br>
But this is the best we can do. In this small country, being a small general can continue to reproduce and have some channels to pay attention to things outside.
Moreover, there were only twenty years left before the deadline for the secret prophecy. As a result, there was a coup in Liang Kingdom, and my father and husband, as generals loyal to the former leader of Liang Kingdom, were immediately purged.
My father and husband were arrested in the army, and my home was ransacked. I escaped on my own. I did not hesitate to disfigure myself and took advantage of the great war in Liang to escape from Liang..."
< br>This is a very tortuous story;
Originally, this lineage was passed down very well because the secrets were not cut off, but it completely collapsed due to a coup;
They may still be looking forward to the big changes that may happen in twenty years, but they don't know that they have no chance of it.
"How did you know about the snowfield?" the blind man asked.
"Because my father is a very smart man. He guessed it based on the news about the palace's use of troops." Chen Ning replied.
Seemingly afraid that King Pingxi and others would not believe it,
Chen Ning immediately continued:
"The prophecy in the family inheritance secret says that from the far north, the most loyal servants will return, gather the reincarnations of loyal souls, find the emperor, and recreate Daxia."
"But we Isn’t it normal for Wangfu to go to the snowfield?”
After the blind man asked, he smiled and said:
"My lord, I will repair the book and go back. Among our royal guards... no, even among our generals, it seems that there are also surnames. Where are Chen’s Daxia survivors?”
Hearing this, Chen Ning looked shocked.
Obviously, the blind man's reaction speed was much faster than she expected.
The Juggernaut feels that things are a little interesting.
When Zheng Fan made his statement earlier, he was very detail-oriented. He told the blind man everything the woman said, including the woman's description of Chen Xianba, Liu Dahu and their brocade clothes.
Feiyu suit, Jinyi bodyguard, the storyteller in the teahouse will also say it, but what exactly does it look like? How can someone recognize it immediately if they have never seen it before?
This proves that only when women know the specific details can they quickly confirm and distinguish after seeing the real thing.
Some of the Jinyi guards are child soldiers who came out of the school, but most of them are actually the nephews of various generals and powerful officials in the palace.
The prince's personal bodyguard is the best place to be gilded;
Firstly, he is noble, and secondly, he can often stay with the prince and become familiar with him or even have a personal relationship; , the prince can also use this method to show kindness and soothe people's hearts.
However, the political review of Jinyi's personal guards is also extremely strict, after all, it is directly related to the prince's safety.
The blind man said again:
"They should also be the survivors of Daxia. They should have ancestral precepts at home. They have followed us. They also have a certain identity and status in the palace or the army;
Then, they got in touch with us.
Not many people know that Heijia is imprisoned in the dungeon of the palace. Most of the people who did this are the Jinyi guards, and his descendants should be inside.
However, no clues were found in the political review of the subordinates, proving that this family did not have bad intentions and did not belong to the Silver Armored Guards or the Phoenix Nest Guards. He may have passed on the message just out of echo of his own clan. This news, plus the Qiu family, there is no movement..."
When you don't have bad intentions, it is difficult for you to be exposed, and there is almost no possibility of being exposed.
The Qiu family is just a small general in Xiaoliang Kingdom, and they have not done anything earth-shattering. All they do is wait and wait until twenty years later to see how things will change;
The family in Jindong was just a visiting relative and passed on the news;
It can be said that the person in Jindong had no bad intentions and no plans. He might still be concerned about life in Jindong. Very satisfied.
People knew that they were the survivors of Daxia, but they didn’t want to do anything. They just wanted to share their experiences for the sake of their ancestors.
So,
Blind Man and Xue San, fishing and law enforcement, digging holes deliberately, and self-searching are all useless, because they don’t have bad intentions, and they don’t even feel that they are lurking...
Maybe I will hear it. When it came to catching the spy, he was even more indignant and tried his best to catch him, because he didn't think he was a spy at all, and he was probably extremely loyal to the prince.
The blind man said again: "From the generals and officials who were born in Jin, the scope is limited to those who were in Jin, that is, small landowners and above. Otherwise, this kind of inheritance cannot be guaranteed and cannot be communicated with those far away in Liang in advance. "
The scope was suddenly reduced a lot.
"He has no ill intentions, and neither do we!" Chen Ning explained immediately.
Zheng Fan looked at her, smiled and said to the blind man:
"These Daxia survivors are treated just like the Jews."
They are also scattered in various places, some of which are older. Inheritance, live well in reality, spiritually, I also think that I have another identity, or it is called inheritance when worshiping ancestors;
Then, they all dream of rebuilding the country.
“My Lord, this metaphor is very appropriate.”
Immediately,
Zheng Fan pointed at himself, still staring at the woman, and asked:
“So, I am very curious, do you and your father regard this king as "What?"
The woman replied: "Father believes that Yan has the power to unify all Xia. Your Majesty." He himself is also a person who was born at the right time. From the first step of Guizhou to today, he should be adhering to the fate of Great Yan;
My father said that the Yan people should be preparing to stop the reincarnation of loyal souls and stop the revival of Great Xia. I hope that this task should fall on you, the prince.”
Zheng Fan curled his lips. It was a very cliché positioning. It was clear that he was placed in the villain's trap against a group of children of destiny.
However,
Zheng Fan immediately laughed again;
Chen Ning was a little confused, wondering why the Lord Yan was laughing;
Sword Master He was also a little curious, but he endured not asking;
The blind man immediately laughed along with him, understanding the situation.
Because the Qiu family has always adhered to the inheritance and has been waiting for the fulfillment of the prophecy,
the root cause of its destruction is most likely the "reincarnation of the loyal soul of Daxia" that they themselves believe in This was done by Xie Jia Qianliju.
In the capital of the Liang Kingdom, Xie Yu'an hijacked the old Prime Minister and launched a coup, forcing the original leader to death and purging the former leader's army. The Qiu family was destroyed. It is estimated that Chen Ning's father and brothers, They were all probably killed, and it was unlikely that they were still alive. After all, it was necessary to cut through the mess quickly at that time.
According to the Qiu family's expectations, twenty years later, they planned to respond to the prophecy, and they might even defect to the Xie family's master.
The prince took a deep breath to stop laughing;
picked up the tea cup in front of him,
cursed in his heart:
"Oh, this is already confusing. ”
