Devil’s Advent

The county seat of Chujun is Chuzhou City.

A mourning team is preparing to leave the city, beating the ground.

Who knew that the stake carrying the coffin broke when it was about to pass the gate of the city, injuring two coffin boys, and another coffin boy was crushed to death alive.

The funeral team got stuck at the gate of the city.

The Prince Fu's son is also the filial son who is about to succeed King Fu, knelt beside the coffin, crying loudly, while the princess and her family were also crying to death.

They didn't cry about the coffin boy who was smashed to death, but because the old Fu Wang left so unsafely.

Outside the city gate, the group of people who left the city first could only wait beside them.

Lao Xiaotou, who played the suona, sat in the open space on the side of the official road, while his apprentice Xiao Mazi took the initiative to help him tinker with the hookah.

In this world, opium has not yet been born, but things like tobacco have already spread among the people.

The cigarettes made by Blind North Gang Zheng Fan are just innovations in craftsmanship and production methods. In fact, tobacco is also ready-made.

Of course, the upper echelons of Qianguo do not smoke tobacco. Compared with Wushisan, the strength of tobacco is really just drizzle.

Carefully helping his master to light a cigarette with a fire pocket, Lao Xiao sucked his head twice, exhaled two puffs of cigarettes, then retched, and spit out a large mouthful of thick phlegm.

Apprentice Xiao Mazi immediately patted his master on the back.

Old Xiao turned his head to the side, glanced at the situation at the gate of the city, but did not show any impatience, but said to his apprentice:

"Call your uncle Kang."

"Okay, master."

Soon, an old man with a big gong hanging on his waist came over and approached Old Xiaotou.

Old Xiaotou whispered:

"The problem at the gate of the city will probably not get better in a while."

"That's right, on the way to the funeral, it's the most taboo to make mistakes. This is also a wrong way. It's fine if you get off the frame, and you even smashed a person to death and saw blood.

Well, the lord said that he was sent by the imperial court to take care of the funeral. Seeing how anxious he was, he probably didn't know how to take care of it. "

"I said, old Kangtou, don't bother to watch the excitement, but pass on a message to everyone. At this time, there must be a delay, and you will definitely not be able to get on the road for a while.

After finishing the work and going back on the road, I asked everyone to calm down and save some energy. When the adults asked, they said that we delayed our meal and were hungry and had no strength.

Either, let the steward of the palace give us a meal, or give us two more money. "

"Yes, I will listen to you, and I will give orders."

"Tell them to be clever and just say they're hungry."

"I know, I know."

Perhaps, in the eyes of outsiders, it is too bold for this group of Mr. Baishi to dare to knock their heads on the head of the Wangfu. It worked out.

What happened to the palace?

Can the palace make people not hungry?

Old Xiaotou picked up the hookah again and smashed it twice.

At this moment, apprentice Xiao Mazi leaned over to his master and whispered:

"Master, I heard that the prince in the coffin has no head."

Old Xiao frowned, immediately grabbed his apprentice, and asked:

"Who sued you?"

"Hua Cui'er told me that her mother is the mother-in-law of the palace. She said that after the prince's coffin was transported back to the mansion from the north, her mother went to help restrain her. Her mother didn't tell her, but she told her mother that night. After sleeping in the same room, her mother had a nightmare at night, shouting that the prince's head is gone, the prince's head is gone..."

"Snapped!"

Old Xiao slapped Xiao Mazi on the head, and cursed in a low voice:

"Don't tell anyone about this, it will kill you!"

Xiao Mazi was taken aback by the sharp gaze of the master, and immediately said submissively:

"Master, I only told you, I didn't tell others, I didn't tell others."

"Gui grandson, this matter, I will rot in the stomach of the master!"

"I know the master, I know the master."

Old Xiao lowered his head and took two more puffs of hookah.

For those who do nothing, it is only natural to take advantage of the accident at the master's house to spend more meals or ask for more rewards.

But some things are definitely not something ordinary people like me can touch.

Straight girl thief,

Fu Wang was headless when he came back!

This King of Fortune's reputation is actually not very good. In Chuzhou City, when it comes to King of Fortune, everyone will say "heh", and then make gestures to show how fat the pigs raised next door are.

But if you insist on saying how bad this King Fu is, you really can't tell.

Anyway, a fat head and big ears are not a good thing in the eyes of ordinary people.

The year before last, a scholar scolded King Fu at the gate of King Fu's mansion. He said, "All the flesh on your body is anointed by the people!"

Xiao Mazi once asked himself what the meaning of Min Zhi Min Gao is,

Old Xiaotou actually doesn't understand either.

But as a master, how can he miss the truth in front of his apprentice?

Just tell him it's pork skin jelly.

Later, there was a private school gentleman whose old mother died. When he was helping him with white affairs, the old Xiaotou went to ask the gentleman what "people's fat and people's ointment" meant.

The gentleman nodded and replied:

It's really like a pig's skin jelly head.

Old Xiao handed the hookah to his apprentice, stretched out his hand, took out a dry stem from the belt around his waist, and bit it in his mouth one by one.

A few days ago, King Fu went out as an imperial envoy. Perhaps it was because of his fat body that King Fu didn't go out of the house very often, but that time, when King Fu went out, he was quite loud.

Because that time outside the city of Chuzhou, a group of wolf soldiers came.

Old Xiaotou even took his apprentices to see it, wolf soldiers, rare, in the early years, it was these soldiers who made a lot of money in the southwest of our Daqian!

However, a soldier is a soldier, and these strangely dressed people look like a group of uncivilized monkeys.

And none of them have ever seen the world, the same thing, they will always be 40% to 50% more expensive, but they themselves can't help but be overjoyed.

Oh, it's just a bunch of bumpkins.

On that day, Old Xiaotou saw Fu Wang going north with the wolf soldiers, because Fu Wang was so recognizable and obvious.

What are you going north for?

Those who do white things, do things when they have something to do, and gather to talk about the mountains when they have nothing to do, and they have contacts with high-ranking officials and nobles from all three religions and nine streams. After all, no matter whether they were rich or not in life, they will always die.

Because of this, Lao Xiaotou heard some rumors, saying that the Yang Taiwei on the three sides was a little afraid of Yangou, and Fu Wang was ordered to reprimand him this time as a vassal king.

That's right, that Taiwei Yang is a eunuch, and there is no Luanzi under him, can he be hard?

As for the Yan people, Lao Xiaotou has seen many caravans of the Yan people. In the early years, he also saw many scholars from the Yan people.

There is no difference between the Yan people and the dry people in their own family.

Old Xiaotou didn't know what it would be like to fight with the Yan people. It is said that a hundred years ago, he fought with the Yan people, but after all, a hundred years have passed, and those who have seen the war are long gone.

But it is said that the Yan people are quite capable of fighting,

Old Xiaotou recognized this point,

Yan people are poor,

He is not afraid of the barefoot, the poor and the poor!

Whether in the city or in the country, these poor and poor fellows are masters that even rogues dare not mess with.

However, it is better not to fight.

This is the most simple idea of ​​Lao Xiaotou. He never thought that people would die in war, he might die, and many people would die, but it was because the people from all over the world were already suffering from war.

Old Xiaotou is fine, he has a craft, as the saying goes, craftsmen can't die of starvation in famine years, no matter what happens, they can live on.

But the life of the peasants is not easy,

In the past few months, the wolf soldiers and the western army came in turn. The wolf soldiers are okay, and the bumpkins are a nest, but those thieves with western accents are often forced to buy and sell. Just beat people and smash stalls, don't give money for meals, and take things along.

After that, the ancestral army came, and the ancestral army was good. Qiu didn't commit any crimes, and when he walked, he looked orderly.

But after that, the forbidden soldiers who came over were really a bunch of beasts!

Old Xiaotou was puzzled. It stands to reason that the imperial guards came from Shangjing, which is the place where the officials live. According to legend, the Bianhe River in front of Shangjing still has gold leaf floating from time to time.

But this group of banned soldiers has done a lot of things, such as robbing civilian women, even murdering and stealing goods. The prefect of Chuzhou took the initiative to find the leader of the army, but was kicked back by the leader of the army.

Who can be an official in the Forbidden Army, which one has no background?

After a while of misfortune, the imperial army finally went north. Big guy, it can be regarded as a little breather, but every time soldiers and horses come over, the local government has to collect food.

Usually, the hardest time for peasants is spring, but this year is good, and the winter has not passed yet, and the pot is already in trouble.

But people will still die. After death, they are all from the village. You still have to help with errands. They kowtow to you, and there are nothing left in the house, so you can’t force anything.

Old Xiao spit out the grass clippings in his mouth,

With a sigh in my heart,

this year,

It's not easy.

As soon as the funeral procession stopped, it stopped for most of the day. Many people came to persuade them, and several groups of monks and priests came.

Finally, the coffin where Fu Wang lay was lifted up again.

Old Xiao stood up,

No matter whether you are blowing, knocking or shouting, everyone is weak, this is really not pretending, this mother is really hungry, the sun is about to go down the mountain!

The people in the palace are poorer and more particular than ordinary people, and they have been tossing for so long.

In fact, an accident in the coffin during the funeral is an extremely serious matter. At the same time, as the person who will inherit the king's title, the prince is the same as the prince before he inherits the throne. Spread it out, let everyone see your filial piety.

At the same time, the imperial court's methods of dealing with the vassal kings are really varied. They will find fault with you every now and then, and if there is an accident in the coffin, after the imperial court learns about it, they will inevitably make use of it to make a fuss, such as the son's filial piety and so on.

The most important thing is that the prince and the concubine knew that King Fu had no head when he came back, and they couldn't know the reason, but they were warned not to ask more questions by the commander of the Silver Armor Guard stationed in Chuzhou City.

All kinds of reasons and emotions are intertwined, and through this incident, it exploded directly, which is why it has been delayed for so long.

Old Xiaotou suddenly felt his calf trembling,

Hastily stretched out his hand and said:

"Disciple."

"master?"

"Help me, I'm so hungry, my calves are starting to tremble."

"Master, I'm also very hungry, and my calves are shaking."

"Well, you bastard, how dare you..."

"No, Master, I'm not hungry, it's the land that's shaking!"

Old Xiao froze for a moment, felt it carefully, it seemed that the ground was really trembling.

then,

Old Xiao raised his head,

ahead of his sight,

A black mass appeared!

"Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom!"

"Teacher, get out of the way!"

Old Xiaotou's reaction at this time was quite quick, he stretched out his arms and rolled over to the side with his disciple.

Behind him, the voice of the iron cavalry roared like thunder, and the dust raised almost buried the master and apprentice.

Immediately afterwards, there were screams and screams from all around.

In addition, Lao Xiaotou didn't hear clearly, only heard one sentence:

Yangou is here!

Xiao Mazi seemed to want to get up, but Old Xiao held his head tightly.

Damn,

The Yan people are here?

How could it be that the Yan people came?

Are the soldiers and horses on the three sides over?

Western Army is over?

The ban is over?

Is the Ancestral Army finished?

Old Xiaotou was very puzzled, he had heard people calculate, saying that we are going to do a big job, and we are at the border, but there are millions of troops!

Zhiniang thief is a million pigs, and the people of Yan will have to catch them for a long time if they want to catch them. Why did they suddenly kill them in Chuzhou City?

Old Xiaotou had countless doubts in his heart, but he could only continue to press his apprentice down on the ground, not daring to raise his head to look around or get up.

He only felt that the sound of horseshoes on the avenue behind him seemed to never end, as large groups of cavalry passed behind him non-stop.

There was a burst of despair in Lao Xiao's head. He didn't know where his despair came from. Maybe it was just a kind of instinct of his own. Even he himself thought it was a little funny.

This despair is:

Mother, Fu Wang's coffin is still blocked at the gate of the city!

At this time, I am still worried about this, is this something you should care about!

I don't know how long I ate sand lying on the ground, so long that Lao Xiaotou was a little dazed and dizzy.

He didn't even notice that the sound of horseshoes behind him had faded away for a long time.

until,

A pair of boots appeared in front of him,

And the boot was still on his shoulder.

Old Xiaotou really wanted to keep pretending to be dead, but he didn't dare...

He raised his head and saw a young general in black armor standing in front of him, behind him stood a giant man like iron, and at the same time there was a man in armor with his eyes closed.

"Hey, get up."

Zheng Fan urged.

Old Xiaotou immediately got up, and Xiao Mazi also got up,

The master and apprentice were just about to stand up,

At the same time, his feet went limp, and he fell to the ground with a plop.

This scene looks funny and funny.

Zheng Fan smiled,

It's just that Zheng Fan wasn't laughing at the two in front of him,

But this Chuzhou City in front of him, which is many times larger than Mianzhou City, the capital of Chu County in Qianguo, actually rushed in just like the first time he fought Mianzhou City!

The only difference is that the last time I was in Mianzhou City because there were too few soldiers and horses, I only had time to cut off some heads and left immediately.

But this time, although half of the soldiers and horses in Li Fusheng's town were left in Beifeng County, but including the cavalry of his own Cui Liu Fort, there were nearly 30,000 cavalry in total!

The 30,000 cavalry marched directly into the city, and there was no wave in the city.

Yes,

Zheng Fan appeared at Chuzhou City,

The Dayan Iron Cavalry ignored the important towns on the three sides of the Qian Kingdom, ignored the terrifying military defense line built by the Western Army, and ignored the third line of defense of the Qian Kingdom.

All the way south, south, south again,

Now, he has skipped the three lines of defense laid down by the 700,000 troops of the Qian Kingdom, and has passed through the three northern counties of the Qian Kingdom, and arrived at the hinterland of Chu County, which is adjacent to the three counties.

It took a lot of time, although there was basically no fighting along the way, it was just a rush.

People of later generations may not be able to empathize with the speed and travel of cavalry, and always feel that cavalry can gallop very fast.

In fact, the cavalry marched 100 kilometers a day and night, which is considered a very high-intensity march. If it weren't for the fact that most of the cavalry in Yan State were equipped with two horses, it would be difficult to even reach this speed.

That kind of post station rush can only be obtained by changing horses from post station to post station. If the cavalry troops run like that, most of the horses will have to be abolished before the battle begins, and Dayan cavalry will become Dayan Iron Cavalry. infantry.

As for the kind of general that often appears in novels and plays, it is not impossible to lead the army to travel eight hundred miles a day. Of course, the prerequisite is that all the cavalry members are not riding horses, but Zhenbeihou Jingnanhouhou's crotch. The high-blooded pissed animal.

When approaching the border of Chujun, the Yan army began to divide its troops, in a fan shape, like a hungry tiger rushing for food, and rushed to all parts of Chujun.

Li Fusheng's army marched directly towards the hinterland of Chu County, taking advantage of this great deal.

"Blind man, tell me, will the soldiers and horses on the border of Qianguo come back to help?" Zheng Fan asked.

At the beginning, the first Marquis of Zhenbei was able to break through 500,000 cavalry with 30,000 cavalry, but that was a special case. Whether Xu Pangpang was more elite than the first Marquis of Zhenbei or the tens of thousands of miscellaneous troops were more elite than the 30,000 Yan army hundreds of years ago, they all There is no comparison.

Therefore, once the gangsters become ruthless, don't move the soldiers and horses of the three lines of defense at the same time, just send out the three sides of Wei Zhen, Liang Zhen and Chen Zhen or the Western Army, push away Xu Pangpang and their miscellaneous troops, and go straight into Yanzhou. It is not difficult for the country, or even for soldiers to point directly at Yanjing.

The blind man said:

"My lord, it's not a question of whether it will be possible, but a question of definitely being able to." The blind man smiled, "To be honest, my subordinates really didn't expect this kind of house-changing style of play before, but now it's a serious matter. Zhuge Liang felt that it was very reasonable.

The emperors on both sides are different, and the generals on both sides are also different. Regardless of His Majesty the Emperor Yan who dared to leave Yanjing behind, the Emperor Yan must have known the strategic arrangement in advance, but he also dared to risk his life at the same time. Put your own capital in such a situation.

But the emperor of the Qian Kingdom, the court of the Qian Kingdom, the officials of the Qian Kingdom, and the army of the Qian Kingdom who have been suppressed and tamed by the civil officials for so many years, dare not really bet on who will change their homes faster. They will definitely return to help. It must also be returned. "

Zheng Fan closed his eyes,

I began to recall the road all the way down south, mostly plains, most of which are actually extremely open plains.

The border guards of Qian Kingdom will leave their strong city, leave their strong military stronghold, and rush back to help. Then, what awaits them will be...

"Blind man, did you find out that the way to break the game that we have been thinking about day and night is actually so simple."

Blind Bei said with emotion: "My lord, our current height is still not enough."

"Yeah, the height is not enough."

Zheng Fan shook his head, looked in the direction of the city, the sound of fighting inside had gradually weakened.

In fact, when the iron cavalry successfully rushed to the gate, the remaining resistance of the city was really just a formality;

Moreover, this form seems to be going well, and it doesn't look too distracted.

At this moment, Lao Xiaotou and Xiao Mazi had already stood firm, looking at Zheng Fan and the others with trepidation, looking at these... Yangou.

Zheng Fan pointed to the suona on the hands of both master and apprentice,

road:

"Play a tune and listen."

"Hey, good, good! Being able to play the suona for a nobleman is a blessing that the villain and his apprentice have cultivated in eight lifetimes."

As he said that, Lao Xiao slapped Xiao Pocky on the head, who was still in a daze.

The master and apprentice puffed up their cheeks and began to blow.

At first it was a merry and lively tune,

But after blowing for a while, the faces of both master and apprentice were covered with tears, not that they were worried about the future of the country, but purely because of their true feelings caused by fear.

Suona's song naturally began to become bleak.

Zheng Fan was not angry at all, but said to the blind man beside him:

"This song is a bit interesting, but it brings out both functions of Suona."

Blind Bei nodded.

Fan Li couldn't understand, so he continued to stand there.

Zheng Fan took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

"Plop! Plop!"

Old Xiao didn't dare to blow his head anymore, he immediately knelt down, kowtowed and said:

"My lord, please forgive me, my lord, I didn't do it on purpose, old man, I didn't do it on purpose."

Seeing his master kneeling, Xiao Mazi immediately knelt down and began to cry.

The nobleman naturally wanted to listen to the celebration, but the master and the apprentice actually played the funeral tune at the same time.

It's over, it's over, I'm dying, I'm dying...

"Get up, it's really good, I'm very satisfied."

Zheng Fan said,

Looking at the sun that is almost evening,

Said with emotion:

"I don't know the meaning of suona when I first hear it, but I'm already a person in the coffin when I hear it again."

Zheng Fan is very satisfied with this artistic conception and tone,

but,

Liang Cheng, who rode his horse from a distance, broke all Zheng Fan's artistic conception with a single sentence:

"My lord, Li Fusheng wants to massacre the city!"

"Fuck!"

—————

Good night everyone.
