Devil’s Advent

In the warm room, there was a moment of silence.

Zheng Fan was trying his best to be more natural, but then he showed a wry smile.

He underestimated the enemy.

Of course, the progress of the whole matter, the so-called general trend, and whether Zheng Shoubei underestimated the enemy had nothing to do with it.

It can only be said that those who can sit on the dragon chair do not have fuel-efficient lamps.

There are nearly 700,000 troops on the three sides of the Qian Kingdom, and they are the most capable troops in the Qian Kingdom. Originally, if they went south to help, the two Lords of Zhenbei and Jingnan led 200,000 cavalry on the plain It is entirely possible to directly eat this army.

As long as this battle is won, then the northern part of the Qian Kingdom will lose most of its ability to resist, but right now, if the three sides of the Qian Kingdom do not return their aid, they will be nailed there like nails and even send some troops to secretly attack the North The empty country of Yan.

So no matter how unscrupulous the Zhenbei Army and the Jingnan Army are in the north of Qianguo, there is still no way to eat this piece of fat thoroughly in the mouth and digest it at the same time, instead it will be stuck there like a fishbone.

at the same time,

The barbarian royal court will take this opportunity to try to break free from the control of the Zhenbeihou Mansion, because they have been waiting for this opportunity for a hundred years.

And the Jin State, for the reason of the death of the lips and the cold teeth, has a high probability of sending a large army to attack the Yan State, and this is almost a sure thing, otherwise the imperial army of Yanjing and the rear battalion of the Jingnan Army could not have been dispatched to the empire early. The easternmost frontier.

However, Dayan's most powerful field corps is stuck in the north of Qianguo. It can't advance and retreat. counterattack.

For a moment, Zheng Fan felt a little cold.

Dayan, who was originally in a good situation, suddenly fell into the situation of going to war against three parties.

Seeing that Zheng Fan had stopped talking, Emperor Qian opened his mouth and said:

"To be honest, I still have to thank him, Ji Runhao, for the empty pay of the three sides and the imperial army. This large amount of military expenditure was spent in vain. In the past, no one dared to touch it, even I dared not touch it.

But now, with the help of you Yan people's knives, help me, help Daqian, and pierce this pustule.

You said, how should I thank your majesty? "

"But the northern part of Daqian has also been smashed to pieces."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Emperor Qian shook his head indifferently, and said: "The wealth of my Dagan is in the south of the Qianjiang River, in the south of the Yangtze River, and the taxes in the south of the Yangtze River account for 80% of the annual income of my Dagan treasury.

The three sides have been abandoned for too long. Chu County and Beihe County are even poor counties. They may be regarded as rich in the eyes of you Yan people, but in the eyes of us Qian people, they are considered poor places.

The only one affected a little bit is Xishan County, but even if Xishan County is smashed, it is still a good deal for me.

I'm not afraid of your jokes, I'm serious about my work, don't look at the surface, but the treasury is almost at the point where it's not enough.

Three redundant, one for redundant soldiers, I will send wave after wave of Xiang troops up, let you break up, the three sides and the generals of the imperial army, and the dignitaries standing behind them, dare not have any more questions about the empty pay What I have concealed, I can just take advantage of the general situation to extend my hand into these two armies with legitimate reasons.

Redundant officials, there are so many officials in the north who dereliction of duty, were killed, and surrendered, and it happened to be cleaned up.

The third part is monks and Taoists. You Yan people don’t believe in Buddhism or believe in religion. Countless temples and Taoist temples were destroyed along the way, which also helped me a lot.

What's more, in order to protect themselves, some temples and Taoist temples took the initiative to hand over the stored food to you Yan people. This is another good excuse for me. Outsiders have been uncomfortable for a long time! "

Speaking of excitement,

Emperor Qian stood up,

And even turned around,

Regardless of his age, he is really elegant and unrestrained.

Perhaps, it is in line with the aesthetics of this era, but Zheng Fan really can't appreciate it, perhaps because there are too many performance artists in later generations.

"Your Majesty." Zheng Fan said.

Emperor Qian stopped his figure and said:

"What else do you want to say?"

"Any idea, at the beginning, is very beautiful."

"I understand, that's why I didn't let you meet the officials. I am very happy now, but most of the officials are probably in a state of panic. Even the gentlemen in the court, they were all first-class masters in times of peace and prosperity. But in troubled times, they can only be a showman."

"Your Majesty, the ministers think that your majesty may have thought too well."

"Are you a dead duck with a hard mouth?"

"It is impossible for Qian Guo to change into a large army all at once!"

"Give me three years, and I can retrain a real 800,000 forbidden army!"

Emperor Qian bent down, looked at Zheng Fan who was sitting on the blanket, and said:

"Actually, I, the emperor, is worthy and ordinary, but there is really nothing I can do.

Just like two children, one is a cattle herder and the other is a woodcutter. The two of them sat together under a big tree for an afternoon without doing anything.

But the boy herding the cows, his cattle, had eaten enough grass, and the boy chopping wood hadn't chopped a single stick.

You know, what does that mean? "

A burst of anger and irritability suddenly arose in Zheng Fan's heart;

To be honest, Zheng Shoubei has never regarded himself as a Yan people in the true sense, but as his "birth" place in this world, plus the country where he fought all the way, the emotional bias is naturally inevitable.

Emperor Qian continued:

"One is poor, the other is rich, everyone has different backgrounds."

Qianhuang flicked his long sleeves,

"Big job, more money. He, Ji Runhao, is a man of the family. He gambled everything to start this war. I don't like playing with money, and I basically don't play cards, but I understand a truth. When you think about it more When you win, the more likely you are to lose.

My family has a strong foundation, and I can lose one, two, three, and many, but he, Ji Runhao, can't afford to lose, not even one! "

Zheng Fan found that at this time, his imposing manner and style of painting had been completely suppressed by Emperor Qian.

However, Zheng Fan still stood up, bowed deeply to Emperor Qian, and said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, if we can't eat this piece of meat from Qianguo, then I, Dayan, won't let it sit there and wait for you to pick up this piece of meat again from Ganguo."

"What do you mean?" There was a stern look in Qianhuang's eyes.

But Zheng Fan was not afraid at all, and said directly:

"Your Majesty should know that since going south, our Yan army has been very restrained."

Li Fusheng was suffocated, but he was still enduring it.

"That's because my army of Yan believes that the next piece of land will be the land of the country of Yan, and the people on this land will be the people of my country of Yan.

If it really comes to the situation your Majesty mentioned,

I, Dayan, have more than 200,000 cavalry generals who will no longer seal their swords,

Starting from the land of Gyeonggi, slaughtering and plundering all the way back, Your Majesty, you can let the armies of the three sides continue to stand firm, my butcher knife of Dayan will go back bloody all the way!

It is impossible to say that the northern part of Qianguo will not be left alone;

But ten rooms and nine empty rooms are not difficult!

Even if the state has the wealth of Jiangnan, facing a completely devastated north, it's not easy, right? "

Qianhuang's voice became deep,

road:

"I can accept it."

The emperor's heart can open his mouth that these are my people, but the next moment, he can fly yellow paper for his own people.

"What about the state of Chu? Will the State Council of Chu continue to remain indifferent in the face of a state that has been greatly weakened?"

"Okay, it's a bit like an envoy, but do you know what problem you have?"

"The ministers don't know."

"It's taken for granted."

Qianhuang walked to the table, picked up a bunch of grapes, put them into his mouth, and said while chewing:

"The king of Chu is old and has been bedridden for a year. The four princes of Chu each have fiefs and soldiers. Do you think it is possible for the current Chu state to send troops abroad?"

Zheng Fan was silent.

"Of course, if you Yan people really come back after killing and completely abolishing all the counties in the north, I will feel very distressed. However, it is not a bad thing. Sometimes, what can we do? It's really hard to hate one thing, from the court officials down to the common people.

It's all right now, you Yan people just do it, I can calmly gather people's hearts later, and then shout out the slogan of the Northern Expedition.

It may be a disadvantage to the country, but it is beneficial to the dragon chair. "

Zheng Fan took two steps back, bowed and said:

"Foreign ministers are taught."

"It's also weird, maybe it's because it's rare for me to meet someone with such a congenial temperament, who can speak freely in front of me, so there are inevitably more words today.

Zheng Aiqing, let's do this, you can stay in our country, I promise you a bright future! "

Zheng Fan immediately knelt on the ground,

There was a smile on Qianhuang's face,

road:

"Zheng Aiqing agrees?"

Zheng Fan shook his head,

road:

"The foreign minister is a little dizzy."

"Why?"

"The foreign minister almost thought that it was the army of the Qian State who was approaching the city of Yanjing at this time, not our army of the Yan State who was approaching the city of Yanjing."

After finishing speaking, Zheng Fan stood up again, without the slightest panic of having wiped out the Emperor.

"What's wrong with what I told you earlier? Tomorrow, your Yan army can attack the city and take a look at this upper capital, but you can bite it down later!

Wait and see, when the barbarians and the Jin army invaded the hinterland of your country of Yan, what will you do to deal with it!

Destiny is not in Yan! "

Zheng Fan sighed, and said to Emperor Qian:

"Your Majesty, the minister would like to ask you a question."

"But there's no harm in asking."

"Your Majesty, have you ever fought a war?"

"What?"

"Have you ever carried the knife yourself, and taken the lead in the charge at the front line?"

"Never."

"Oh, no wonder, Your Majesty, although the subject is a foreign minister, but for the sake of His Majesty's rewarding such a meal, the foreign minister wants to make an admonition."

"explain."

"Your Majesty, the battle was fought one by one, not by sitting in this warm room, leaning on this soft blanket and talking eloquently.

No matter how much your Majesty says, it will not change the fact that our Dayan army has already appeared outside your capital.

Not to mention anything else, just in case someone joins forces with the Yan army outside my city at this time, and goes to the capital to say that it has fallen, it may also fall.

In this world, there has never been a city that never falls.

If that's the case, Your Majesty, what's the point of what you said to your ministers earlier? "

"Are you mocking me?"

"The foreign minister dare not, the situation His Majesty just said, the foreign minister does not know how to solve it, but there is one thing, the foreign minister is very clear, that is, no matter how much you say, no matter how nice you are, you can't stop the saber sharp.

The foreign minister has only recently learned to fight, and has been on the battlefield many times, so the foreign minister understands a truth better.

The court is the court, and the methods are the methods, but they are completely different from fighting on the battlefield. "

After all,

Zheng Fan bowed and bowed:

"Your Majesty, the foreign ministers have said everything that should be said. Your Majesty's teachings have also been kept in mind by the foreign ministers. The foreign ministers feel that they should go."

"You scolded me just now, but now you want to leave?"

"If the foreign ministers don't leave the city tonight, there will be 100,000 His Majesty's subjects buried with them in the capital tomorrow. Foreign ministers, it doesn't matter."

"Hehe, don't worry, if the two countries are not fighting, I will let you go, and I will ask you to help me pass an oral order back. I will settle the previous account with Ji Runhao in the future."

"Foreign ministers take orders."

"Go down."

"The foreign minister will leave."

After walking out of the conservatory, a chill hit immediately, and Zheng Fan shivered subconsciously.

Looking back, I took a look at the warm spring-like house behind me. Alas, I have lived in Green Willow Fort for a long time, and the living conditions have really deteriorated a lot. I used to have two houses in Hutou City, and I could still have fun at night. pool.

I don't know when the days of hard work will come to an end.

Suddenly,

The words Qianhuang said earlier came to mind,

In the three-sided army of Qianguo, not a single soldier can go south.

Zheng Fan's heart sank suddenly,

don't be the last,

Did Dayan come first?

Going out, through the corridor, the silver armor guard woman is still standing there.

Zheng Fan couldn't help but look at her a few more times,

Seriously,

At this time, Zheng Shoubei can still have fun while suffering, and there is no one else.

The Yinjiawei woman is also looking at Zheng Fan,

When Zheng Fan walked in front of him,

She suddenly said:

"I heard that Yan people are good at riding and shooting?"

hiss……

Zheng Fan nodded and said:

"This envoy is also good at riding and shooting."

"Is it?"

The female silver armored guard showed disbelief on her face.

"In the future, if there is a chance, we can try it out and learn from each other. At that time, the girl will know that the envoy is not lying."

"There is evil in your eyes."

"Miss, you read it wrong." Zheng Fan's heart suddenly trembled.

"Will the Yan people attack the city tomorrow?" the woman asked.

"I don't know, probably, I can put on a show, you know, it's so cold, everyone has to find something to do to move their muscles and bones, otherwise it's easy to get a cold."

"Then tomorrow I will compete with the Messenger."

"ah?"

Zheng Fan suddenly felt that something was a little bit wrong, as if the Emperor Qian had said something wrong?

"Master Messenger will participate in the siege tomorrow, right?"

"If there is no accident, it should be possible, but I am under the city, girl, you are inside the city, unless the capital is broken tomorrow, it will probably be difficult for us to see each other."

"It's okay, I can go down and find the messenger."

"No, why does the girl care so much about me?"

"Because the envoy looked at me when he came earlier, which made me very uncomfortable. I really wanted to kill you with a sword, but you are an envoy. You can't die in Shangjing tonight, so I can only go to the capital tonight." I will find a chance to kill you tomorrow."

"Girl, I think, men's affairs should be settled between men, I..."

"I don't have a man."

"Sorry, I'm clumsy."

"I'm not married yet, so my affairs can only be resolved by myself."

"ah?"

Not married?

Suddenly,

A sword floated out and appeared behind the woman. It sounded slightly on the side of her cheek as if it was spiritual.

This Nima is really high-end technical work,

Shit rank nine martial artist,

Even an eighth-rank martial artist of Lao Tzu can't do this step, I dare not even think about it!

What a widow, what a concubine, what a wonderful thing, you are an old and disrespectful bastard!

"I remember your envoy's name is Zheng Fan."

"I think we..."

"My name is Thyme Orchid."

Zheng Fan stared immediately, and blurted out: "The Baili Sword is..."

"Brother."

"..." Zheng Fan.

Zheng Fan left in a daze. At this moment, Dayan's national fortune and future are no longer in his consideration, and the trend of the war has also been forgotten.

Zheng Fan's mind is full of thoughts now, is Bailijian's sister, one of the four great swordsmen, saying that she is going to kill him?

Baili Sword shouldn't be weaker than Sha Tuo Que Stone, right?

No matter how weak her sister is, if she can show Emperor Qian the door, she won't be so weak, right?

With this depressed mood, Zheng Fan walked a long way.

What he didn't know was,

after he left,

Thyme Lan looked at the saber floating in front of her,

frowning slightly,

Said to himself:

"You said, you sensed the last scream of the three swords on him, did that idiot Yuan Zhenxing die in his hands?"

Immediately in Thyme Orchid's mind came the childhood,

The man with greasy hair and three swords on his back pushed a wheelbarrow full of candied haws and came to him,

To myself who was still young at the time:

"Call me uncle, these candied haws are all yours!"

When I called "Uncle\

,"This man who likes to carry three swords on his back is smiling like a fool, thinking that he has taken advantage of his brother.

That idiot who has been fooling around while living a poor life despite being a good swordsman,

That's it,

Gone?

Thyme Lan was a little puzzled,

Fortunately, the swordsman's style of action is very simple, no matter how difficult the knot is, just go down with one sword,

Either scatter, or the sword breaks,

It's all over.

………

Guided by the little eunuch with a lantern, Zheng Fan got into the carriage again. Inside the carriage, the blind man was wiping his mouth, while Ah Ming looked indifferent.

"The cuisine of the Chinese people is really good." The blind man said with emotion, then he looked at Zheng Fan and said, "My lord, what's the matter?"

These exchanges all take place in the black channel built by spiritual power, so there is no need to worry about being eavesdropped by outsiders.

Zheng Fan rubbed his face vigorously with both hands,

road:

"Something went wrong."

On the Kaihei channel, Zheng Fan told the story again, not missing Bailijian's younger sister.

"Oh, widow?" A Ming laughed first.

"What are you laughing at, can you block someone's sword?" Zheng Fan asked.

A Ming shook his head and said: "My lord, it's simple, just don't go out alone. In the camp, how dare she directly kill her?"

At this moment, the carriage had already left the palace, walking on the curfewed streets, heading towards the north city gate.

Suddenly,

Suddenly, more than a dozen men in black appeared in the houses on both sides, all holding crossbows, aiming at the carriage.

The blind man's complexion suddenly changed, and he shouted urgently:

"There are assassins!"
