Devil’s Advent

"interesting."

Parents are both surnamed Qu.

Of course, this is actually not a big deal. It is very common for husband and wife to have the same surname in future generations. The children don't have to argue about whose surname they should have.

but,

how to say,

Yao Zizhan himself is extremely romantic, and he has left love stories when he traveled in various countries. It can be said that he untied his belt to get comfortable. After being comfortable, he ran away and wrote a poem from a long distance. Outsiders see it as chic and romantic. But in fact, it's really shameless.

But such a person once said in an article that the most filthy and stinky in the big family, so dirty that people dare not set foot in it, so vicious that it makes people tremble, and the smell is so unbearable.

Therefore, Uncle Zheng can't help but think in that specific direction.

Zhao Qi said;

"It's really the first time someone asks what my mother's last name is."

immediately,

Zhao Qi said again:

"Because outsiders know that I am Qu's illegitimate son, this is enough for me to eat and drink. Uncle, your focus of attention surprises me."

"What do you want to say?" Uncle Zheng asked.

"If the uncle wants to know, how dare I not say it?"

"It's different, you were a prisoner before, and I was the master; now, after the matter is over, you are..."

"friend?"

Zhao Qi's eyes began to shine.

"You are a scorpion who talks about gossip under the pagoda tree at the entrance of the village, and I am a lazy man who sits there in the shade and listens to gossip."

If you want to talk, I can listen.

"Uncle's analogy is interesting. Let's put it this way, Nu's mother is a generation taller than the Qu Peiluo you know Uncle, and Nu, if I can enter Qu's family tree, I will also be a year taller than Qu Peiluo." generation."

"Oh~"

"How does uncle feel?"

"Interesting."

"Slave feels the same way."

"You want to live?"

"I want to live well."

"Take down the racecourse, Bember, and I promise you a future."

"How many beautiful men's futures can I get in exchange?"

"Benbo doesn't like this tune, so if you don't want Benbo to be in a bad mood and cut you off one day, then put yourself in front of Benbo and be normal."

Zhao Qi knelt down,

"The villain understands."

...

Liang Cheng and Jin Shuke led the army back. In this battle, they gained a lot and their own damage was minimal, but they were still limited by the mobility of the infantry, which made it impossible to further expand the results and form a rolling bead curtain.

And you can't go further north, otherwise you will be in danger of being made dumplings by Chu people, so just accept it when you see it.

Soldiers may rest, but generals may not.

Uncle Zheng only slept for a while in the middle of the night, and when he heard that Ah Cheng and the others had returned, he immediately called them over.

Gou Moli who came here together was in charge of meeting him.

If the blind man was there, Gou Moli's role would be a bit tasteless.

But now that the blind man is in charge of the affairs of his hometown in Xueguan, Gou Moli's strategic vision ability is highlighted.

After all, it was the Savage King who caused the savage storm. No one dared to ignore his suggestions and opinions.

He Chunlai, a righteous man who "anti-Qing and restoring the Ming Dynasty", has now completely become Uncle Zheng's life assistant, and prepared supper with Niu Dongguan in advance.

It could have been placed in the yard,

But the city is burning food on a large scale, and the smell of the food alone is enough. The problem is that the smoke and dust are really unbearable, so they can only stay in the house with the doors and windows closed.

"The situation is like this. Ben Bo wants to talk about his thoughts."

Uncle Zheng took a bite of the wonton, put the spoon in the bowl,

road:

"This is how I think, Jingcheng cannot be defended, and we must strangle this position, so that the connection between Shanggu County and Chudi cannot be restored.

What we want is just this effect. In terms of method, there are many places to be flexible.

for example,

The racecourse. "

Uncle Zheng looked at Ah Cheng,

"If the racecourse can be taken down, and armed with thousands of cavalry, Ah Cheng, are you sure you can use these thousands of cavalry to continue to contain this area?"

Thousands of cavalry, if you say less, is not too little, but if you say more, it is really not too much, the key depends on how you use it.

If it is to charge against the opponent's army, the thousands of cavalry are just a one-shot deal. If they can't break the enemy's formation, they will probably fall into it.

But if Jin Shuke could break out suddenly like when the two armies of Yan and Chu fought fiercely outside Dongshan Fort, and overturn the situation in one fell swoop, the effect would be great.

Liang Cheng could understand Uncle Zheng's thoughts, so he said directly:

"My lord, a lot of boats have been seized at the Jingcheng Wharf this time. If the next attack on the racecourse goes well, I will leave some more boats for my subordinates, so that my subordinates can have the confidence to stay and play a few rounds of pushing hands with the Chu people.

In addition, if the master leads the main force to go south, there is a high probability that the follow-up troops of Chu will not be able or dare to go north to Shanggu County, which can be regarded as a great relief for the subordinates. "

If Uncle Zheng led the main force to go south by boat, he could directly threaten the imperial capital of Great Chu.

Yan Huang could write directly to the barbarian king in the letter:

"If you dare to send troops, I, Dayan, will fight against Yanjing, and I will gather all available soldiers and horses to press into the desert with all my strength, and head straight for your royal court!"

The regent probably dared to say that, because from what he had heard and seen, as well as what he had come into contact with personally, it can be concluded that the regent is Uncle Zheng's uncle, and he is really not ordinary.

But to put it bluntly,

Great Chu has its own national conditions,

If you threaten others by flipping the table, you have to see if you have the ability to flip the table.

Emperor Yan's universe was arbitrary. After the horse stepped into the door, there was no one who dared to disobey him in the court. Some of the military power of Dayan was in the hands of the court, and the rest were all in the hands or under the rule of the two princes, and these two princes, One is the Marquis of Zhenbei who the barbarians fear most, and the other is Marquis of Nan who dares to destroy his entire family.

Emperor Yan wants to go crazy, but Dayan can and will go crazy with him. This table can really be overturned!

so,

The barbarian king was discouraged. During the Three Kingdoms War, from the beginning to the end, the barbarians did not dare to send troops, and even took the initiative to send two tribes that he did not deal with into the territory of Yan State to surrender.

As for the state of Chu,

If the Regent calls this,

Don't worry about Yingdu, don't worry about your family, just go to the Northern Expedition!

first,

You can ignore Ying, but can you ignore the fiefs of the great nobles?

God knows if this Yan army will turn to other places after they come to Yingdu and find that the city wall is too high to break through.

The regent can be "high-spirited and virtuous", but the nobles below may not really want to ignore their families.

at the same time,

the most important point is,

It is impossible for the Yan Kingdom to go crazy and destroy the barbarians, but if you catch your royal court and fight, you will directly eat your royal court cavalry, and your royal court will be driven to run a few laps in the desert, and your legal honor will be directly destroyed. It is no problem to cut off the actual strength.

As far as the barbarian king is concerned, even if the royal court is still there, it may be reduced to an ordinary tribe in the desert.

As for the state of Chu,

Northern Expedition across the board,

sounds brave

But does Chu State dare to do this?

Outside Zhennan Pass, King Jingnan's hundreds of thousands of cavalry were waiting. If he really dared to go out to the Northern Expedition, would he still need to build so many turtle shells there?

at last,

After all,

Uncle Zheng dared to be so relaxed,

These generals under his command dare to feel so good about themselves when they go deep behind the enemy lines,

It's not that they have poor military literacy, nor that they have no sense of crisis.

But national power, national power,

At least,

At the war level,

Yan Jun occupies the absolute initiative.

Whether the little ghost is crazy or not depends entirely on who Hades is standing behind;

You know, even if Uncle Zheng's main force went south, he could take away all the Chu soldiers and horses from Chu, but at Zhennan Pass, there are still hundreds of thousands of the most powerful Chu troops in Chu. .

But Liang Cheng still dared to be so confident that he used thousands of cavalry and some warships to widen the scope of the battlefield and fight guerrillas. He can guarantee that he can continue to pinch the Chu people's logistics;

The fundamental reason is that,

The Chu people in the north were watched by King Jingnan himself.

Gou Moli laughed,

Then cover your mouth,

Then I closed my eyes again,

for a while,

He lost control of his emotions a little bit.

After letting go of his hand, his eyes were a little red.

Gouzi didn't do this on purpose, he didn't pretend, because here, there is no need to pretend, and he also understands that Uncle Zheng and those men who are called "sir" prefer "truth".

Gou Moli thought of himself back then,

After learning the news that Xueguan was conquered by Uncle Zheng,

Immediately he froze;

And for a time, I regretted it very much, regretting why I had to know this news.

Because as long as he knows it, if he wants to pretend he doesn't know it, he will naturally reveal the traces of "pretending to be";

but,

Opposite is Tian Wujing.

It was a scalp-numbing existence whose thoughts were so subtle on the battlefield;

The end result is,

Tian Wujing saw the secret of the savage's instability behind him, so he predicted the prediction of the savage king, and used a trick to lure the main force of the savage to cross the river, and then directly defeated him with the main force of Dayan!

"What's wrong?" Uncle Zheng looked at Gou Moli.

Gou Moli wiped away tears,

laughed:

"The subordinates just feel that it won't be long before Nian Yao, the general of the Chu State, will experience the injuries his subordinates have suffered before, so that's all right, so happy."

When others repeat your bad luck,

You probably

Will be gloating.

"Hehehe..."

Uncle Zheng smiled.

The rest of the people also laughed politely together.

"Everyone, we are all family members, and we must be aware of the significance of this battle to us. I will not hide it from you. No matter how difficult we are now, it is worth overcoming.

Just imagine,

Zhennan Pass was broken, the northern elite of Chu State was wiped out, and Shanggu County fell into the territory of Yan State;

After this,

The whole of Jindong,

It is our property.

He was the first Marquis of Zhenbei, relying on the great victory a hundred years ago, he established his mansion for a hundred years, and he is still the pillar of the sky in Beifeng County.

at the moment,

It's time for us to set up this pillar! "

Everyone was about to kneel down and shout slogans, but Zheng Fan directly raised his hand to stop them.

road:

"It's better sooner rather than later. The racecourse in the east has to be taken down sooner, otherwise I'm afraid there will be precautions there, Liang Cheng."

"The subordinates are here!"

"I'll leave this matter to you to deal with. You personally select a team, and after you rob the racecourse, if everything goes well, send someone over to report to me immediately."

"Yes, my lord."

"The rest of you, let's get ready. I hope everything goes well, because I want to go to Yingdu to see the scenery."

………

He Chunlai, who had finished supper, naturally did not have the opportunity and qualification to attend the meeting that really belonged to the core circle of Xueguan.

He sat on the steps,

Beside him, sat Niu Dongguan.

Niu Dongguan took out a handful of dried fruit from his pocket and handed it to He Chunlai.

He Chunlai reached out to take it.

"Your cooking skills are excellent." He Chunlai said.

"Hey, today is the most nervous meal I have ever cooked in my life. I have been an apprentice with the master for ten years, and I have never been so nervous when I cook for guests for the first time."

Niu Dongguan is an honest man;

Therefore, when he saw Siniang, he could call Yan Jun outside as a Yan dog, and then when he saw Uncle Zheng, he would kneel down and shout "Your Honor".

Although everyone is responsible for the ups and downs of the world, but when it falls on him, the cook, he no longer knows how much he has been apportioned.

The nobles and generals are not dead yet, and it seems that it is not his turn to go all out for Niu Dongguan.

Another aspect of Niu Dongguan's honesty is that he thinks He Chunlai is very kind, because in his opinion, He Chunlai is also a cook just like himself.

"What are you going to do?" He Chunlai asked.

Niu Dongguan replied:

"Alive."

The world is so difficult, and it is a great fortune to be alive after witnessing the death of so many people inside and outside the city.

"Didn't think about the future, didn't think about the future?"

"I won't live in the future? If I don't live, what future will I have?"

He Chunlai felt that this made sense, and nodded seriously.

"Let's rest. Uncle gets up early and has to cook breakfast tomorrow. Uncle likes to eat noodles. You make a dish of Chu ground, add more green onion and herbs, spicy oil... I will adjust the spicy oil."

"Okay, bro."

next morning,

Uncle Zheng woke up, and at the same time, Liang Cheng, who had deployed his troops and horses and didn't care about rest, had already taken Zhao Qi out of the city and headed east.

As for the granary in the city, the burning has not yet been completed, and it is still going on.

However, the meals for the soldiers for the past two days can be described as quite extravagant, because burning is a solution, and eating is also a solution.

Of course, the food needed by his own soldiers and horses was separated and prepared early. If he really burned all the food and ended up with no food for himself, he was really out of his mind.

Uncle Zheng took a shower first. He was on a boat and his conditions were limited. Now that he is "down-to-earth", he must seize the opportunity to wash and wash more.

The bath water was prepared by Siniang. At the request of Uncle Zheng, the two of them washed together until foaming at the mouth.

Pushing open the door, walking into the yard, taking a deep breath of the aroma of plant ash and grain, almost choking back Uncle Zheng's refreshment.

As a last resort, Uncle Zheng had no choice but to retreat into the room and order the guards outside to bring in the breakfast.

The breakfast was very rich, and Uncle Zheng was very satisfied.

While wiping his hands after eating, Uncle Zheng looked at He Chunlai and said:

"That Niu Dongguan seems to have good craftsmanship."

"Yes, uncle."

"Let's take it with us. It's a pity to lose such a good cook. Let him learn Yancai again, and try to get a Yanchu banquet."

"Okay, uncle."

"What about you, what are you going to do in the future? Chen Daole stayed in Xueguan and followed the blind man to preside over the affairs. You can't just be in charge of cooking by my side all the time, right?"

"Uncle, I think this is also very good."

"It's a shame."

"It's a big deal for Uncle to eat and drink well. To be honest, I... admire Uncle for daring to eat my cooking."

"Some things, I think the blind man has already told you, but what I should say, I have to say. In my eyes, there is no distinction between Yan and Jin, but I like Yan."

"The subordinates can feel it."

"But what I really care about is my own people. This is what I said to the Juggernaut. I don't care whether there are Yan people, Jin people, or barbarians under me. Even, there may be Chu people in the future.

If they are willing to kneel to me and follow me, I will treat them as my own, and I will protect them. Except for my own life, I can use everything else to protect them. "

"Subordinate, I see."

Seeing is worse than hearing a hundred times.

The Juggernaut once guarded the city gate in Shengle City, and also slaughtered pigs in Xueguan.

He could clearly feel that the former General's Mansion and now the Earl's Mansion are truly willing to spend money on people's livelihood.

Perhaps, according to the history books, this is an intention to fight for the state of the world, so it is not like the early enjoyment of the peasant army uprising, but has a bigger conspiracy.

But neither the Juggernaut nor He Chunlai was from the temple. What they saw with their own eyes was the standard of living of the people under the Earl's Mansion.

"I don't want to ask about your past, but if you are willing to work with me to create a better and happier future home where people live and work in peace and contentment, where there is no oppression, no exploitation, and even no racial distinctions, where everyone coexists peacefully, respects each other, and is equal to each other, I Willing to accept you."

"Is this... a dream?"

"Dream first, then it is possible to realize it in reality."

He Chunlai nodded and said:

"What would uncle want for lunch?"

"I want something light."

"Okay, uncle."

"Hard."

"pleasure."

Lunch was really light, and after nightfall, the food burning over there finally came to an end.

According to the report over there, many soldiers were burning and crying.

This is understandable, if possible, Uncle Zheng would also like to transport the grain back;

Except for those dignitaries who don't touch their fingers and say "why not eat minced meat", most people, especially those from the bottom, have a deep-rooted awe for food.

Juggernaut sat drinking tea,

Said with emotion:

"What a waste of stuff."

Uncle Zheng nodded and said:

"yes."

The Juggernaut asked again:

"The people from Chu haven't come yet?"

The first wave of nearby rescue troops was defeated by Liang Cheng and Jin Shuke, but the people of Chu obviously would not let it go, nor did they have the qualifications to let it go.

"It's probably coming soon."

at this time,

A messenger soldier rushed into the courtyard and knelt down in front of Uncle Zheng who was sitting at the door enjoying the cool breeze.

His lips were chapped and his appearance was exhausted. He was obviously very tired, but he saluted immediately,

shouted;

"Uncle, General Liang has won the racecourse, and there are no fewer than four thousand horses available!"

Uncle Zheng smiled,

stand up,

ordered:

"Decree, set fire to the city, and burn Jingcheng to the ground!"

Uncle Zheng straightened his sleeves,

Focus on your instrument.

The Juggernaut sitting opposite said:

"What's wrong?"

Uncle Zheng replied;

"I'm going to see my mother-in-law, so I'm a little nervous."
