Devil’s Advent

"Young Lord Qu's" gave the order to surrender, and the left army, rejoicing, immediately disarmed and surrendered, and even ran out a large group of leaders who had been "anyway" early and wanted to get close to Uncle Zheng.

Zhang Huang's department agreed to surrender, but did not make a gesture of dismantling the armor, but put forward a request to retain the organizational system. In addition, they also asked the young master to enter their camp.

Of course, Zhang Huang himself knew that the Yan people would not agree to this request, so if he mentioned it, he didn't mention it, but his 5,000 people took advantage of the situation to maintain relative independence, set up their own camp, and commanded themselves .

However, Da Chu's fire phoenix flag was taken off, and a black dragon flag was erected, which means that the most numerous in the army is the clan flag of the Qu clan.

As for Lin Rong, this general has family and country feelings. Just as Qu Peiluo expected, Lin Rong did not choose to surrender, but led his troops to retreat south.

He did not launch an attack, which is already the best restraint.

But no matter what,

He led the Qingluan Army,

And the Qingluan Army is Qu's private army.

The soldiers' families, young and old, all live in Qu's territory. How dare they be disobedient when the young master of Qu's said to surrender?

This is not something that can be determined by the general's personal ability and charm. After all, at any time, those who dare to abandon their wives, children, and children to do things with you will always be a minority among the few.

Therefore, Lin Rong didn't want to attack, but he knew that he couldn't attack at all.

When retreating to the south, Uncle Zheng did not order to pursue. Although the Yan army came down from a night attack, the casualties were not large, but they were all exhausted, and you asked Zhang Huang's troops and Han Xu of the left army to prepare troops Ma went to attack Lin Rong's department;

It is too obvious that the dog eats the dog and makes them kill each other, which is likely to have the opposite effect.

However, after Lin Rong's troops withdrew to the south, deserters kept appearing in the team, and they ran directly from there to Uncle Zheng's side to look for the young master.

Therefore, although that group of troops withdrew to the south, it was estimated that it would be difficult to form any decent combat power.

Afterwards, things were simple, especially after Uncle Zheng determined the policy of going north, the soldiers and horses that were more "patchwork" than at the beginning began to move north.

The Left Route Army and Zhang Huang's troops were in the vanguard, and the Yan Army was behind.

After a few days of marching, the Left Route Army captured the county seat of Chi County, and Zhang Huang's troops captured the wharf opposite Chi County to control the nearby waters, and also captured some boats of the Chu Navy. The number is small, but it is of great significance .

It wasn't because of how capable these two soldiers were, but because they came as "Chu Army", the defenders didn't expect to be the enemy at all, so they were defeated with almost no effort.

Here in Chi County, Uncle Zheng ordered the entire army to rest.

at the same time,

By hinting, tell Han Xu to let his soldiers have some fun.

It is really clear what it means to let the soldiers have some fun.

Originally, the "Second Devils" on the Left Army's side, mainly Han Xu, seemed to be very dutiful and attentive because of the Yan people on their heads.

It is obviously more effortful than Zhang Huang's one. In short, it is to serve and do things for the Yan people as much as possible, so as to gain the approval of the "father" of the Yan people.

They didn't dare to indulge, nor did they dare to make mistakes;

but now,

The Yan people's "father" let them go and play freely, and they were ordered to "play", so naturally they were more than happy.

Because it is too difficult to restrain the tribes under one's command, especially with the labels of "defeated army" and "surrendered army". The morale of the army is not to say that it is lax, but the morale must be quite low.

After the respective generals conveyed their good intentions, the original left soldiers began to let go of Huan'er and started looting in groups of threes and fives. In Chixian County, they broke and robbed door to door. exploit.

In this regard, Zhang Huang's department still abides by its own camp and did not respond.

Two days later, the Yan army set out again, continued northward, and entered the boundary of the next county.

With the previous experience, the Left Route Army started burning, killing and looting immediately after taking down the county town with insufficient defenders in a hurry, which was even more excessive than in Chi County a few days ago.

When they were in Chi County, they just exploited some family wealth. This time, they plundered the bones and sucked the marrow. They robbed livestock and poultry to eat, and took away anything that was valuable and easy to carry. Women were abused wantonly.

immediately,

two days later,

The Yan army set off again and continued northward.

This time, it can be clearly seen that the marching speed has become faster, especially the left army, their will to advance is even higher, and Zhang Huang's troops are obviously suppressing certain emotions.

this time,

They encountered a Chu army, but it was a local army with a small number of people. The coalition army composed of two local nobles only had more than 2,000 people.

The imperial army crossed the border, and the auxiliary soldiers and civilian husbands had already been conscripted. Therefore, these two local nobles really had no way to gather more strength.

The Yan army did not move, the left army attacked its left wing, Zhang Huang's troops attacked its right wing, and defeated this miscellaneous Chu army in one battle.

Immediately afterwards,

The Yan army entered and began to set up camp.

The leaders of the various armies of the Left Route Army began to wreak havoc with their own subordinates. This time, Zhang Huang's troops did not continue to keep their own law and order.

The previous two times, it was Zhang Huang who forcibly suppressed his subordinates relying on his personal prestige.

But as a soldier of the Chu army, seeing those unworthy things in the left army eating hot food, burning, killing and looting, how could the soldiers of Zhang Huang's department not be jealous?

People are chic and unrestrained,

Why should we be saints?

They have all surrendered to the Yan people, so what kind of aloofness are they pretending to be?

It can be said that when the Qingluan Army surrendered, the first thing that was destroyed was the belief and pride of this army. Whether it was an individual or a group, when these two things were destroyed, the fallen valve had actually been destroyed. Open.

If Zhang Huang didn't let go of his subordinates and let them plunder to release the depression in his heart, maybe the soldiers under him would mutiny, kill them, and then surrender to the Yan people in all aspects.

After the young lord of the Qu family surrendered, he, a retainer of the Qu family, was actually dealt a huge blow in terms of law.

Even the soldiers at the bottom know the truth that Yan people only care about whether the dog under their hands is obedient or not, not the color of the dog's head.

There is a saying that soldiers are like bandits, but in fact, even the mountain kings who fall into the grass and turn into bandits, they also pay attention to the mode of raising leeks, and they really turn the four miles and eight villages into no man's land. What will happen to their harvest in the future? Calculate?

But when the soldiers get into a mess, they really don't pay that much attention, so they are extraordinarily ruthless.

Compared with the cruelty that Chu soldiers treated Chu people,

On the Yan people's side, on the contrary, they seemed very "indifferent".

One is because among the Yan army, the ban on alcohol is very strict. Once alcohol is banned, there will be a limit to how indulgent the soldiers can be;

Furthermore, this Yan army was led by Uncle Zheng to go deep into the enemy's rear, burn the Jingcheng granary, besiege the regent of Da Chu, and then defeat the Qingluan army and capture Qu's young master alive. It's almost overflowing.

After being satisfied, you will naturally not be so hungry and thirsty anymore.

The most important thing is that although the Yan people did not go out to loot, but fell steadily in the army camp, most of the goods that the soldiers of Chu looted every day would be sent to the Yan army's army camp Come.

Uncle Zheng never cared much about goods and such things, and distributed them directly to the soldiers.

You don't need to dirty your hands, the benefits will still fall into the bag, and Yan Jun is also happy to relax;

Of course, if you want to say regret, there must be;

But the soldiers of Yan Jun were still a little reserved in their hearts, and they couldn't be as virtuous as those Chu people's bastards, shameful, and their uncle's face.

………

Outside the military camp, a group of soldiers from Chu could be seen walking past with several local women tied up, and behind them, a cow and two pigs were also pulled.

The woman was already tired from crying, and seemed to accept her fate.

Xu An watched this scene through the fence, feeling a little depressed.

He thought of the scene when the Qingluan Army entered Yupan City, his whole family was arrested as laborers, and his mother was separated from them. In the end, he couldn't find out where his mother went...

To be precise,

Where is the mother's body?

Right now, the Chu people are doing the same thing in front of themselves, but the targets of the violence have become the Chu people's own people.

Unlike Xu An's rich emotions,

Guo Dong leaned against the fence, stroking the handle of his knife with his hands, his face fascinated.

Ever since Uncle Zheng borrowed his knife that day, whenever he was free, he would have this expression and this appearance.

However, after realizing that Xu An was looking at him, Guo Dong still raised his head, coughed twice, and looked for a topic with some embarrassment:

"This group of Chu people is really interesting. They can be so cruel to their own people."

Xu An nodded and said, "Chu people don't think they are Chu people, just like we Jin people don't actually think we are Jin people."

"Why?" Guo Dong scratched his head.

"hehe."

Xu An smiled, and said: "Chu people think they belong to some noble family. We Jin people used to be divided into three families. Whoever belongs to so-and-so belongs to so-and-so."

"We Yan people are not like this." Guo Dong said, "We Yan people always think that we are Yan people."

Xu An was noncommittal.

"Don't you believe it?" Guo Dong asked.

"I believe it." Xu An replied.

People from Yan have always been people from Yan, which is actually not accurate, because there used to be powerful families in the country of Yan, but in the final analysis, the Zhenbei Hou Mansion has only been standing for a hundred years, and Dayan really cut off the threat from the desert. To a Jiazi.

In the bones of the Yan people, there is still a spiritual imprint of going to the desert with their own emperor to fight against the barbarians.

the most important is………

This is what Xu An saw as a "Jin man\

,"It may be that the country of Yan has won many battles and victories over the years, which has inspired the pride in the bones of these Yan people, and the status of Yan people has suddenly become noble.

It is difficult for a person to recognize a lowly status; but if one recognizes a "noble" status, one will definitely flock to it.

Xu An likes to watch, think, and observe. In Guo Dong's words, once there is no war, Xu An likes to be in a daze.

"I heard from the general above that if you go further north, you should encounter the Chu army." Xu An said.

Ordinary soldiers actually don't have a clear idea of ​​where they are, but Xu Anyou, he will pay attention to the conversation between the captain and the generals, and at the same time, he will also pay attention to some opportunities to find out about the local Chu people.

Ask how far it is from Zhennan Pass and Shanggu County.

Although the information was incomplete, inaccurate, and unsystematic, at least it could give Xu An a general understanding in his mind.

The Chu people now have two lines of defense, one is Zhennan Pass;

The other is the army on the other side of Jingcheng, deployed along the Weihe River, led by Zhuguo Dugu Nian.

As for my own house, it is actually in the hollow area behind the Chu people.

Of course, it is not considered hollow in the strict sense, because the Qingluan army came to encircle them, but they were defeated by themselves.

"Hey, when the battle is over, I plan to pick up my mother, my brother, and Miss Ah Shui, and come together." Guo Dong said.

Xu An was a little surprised and said, "Didn't you say you were going to take off your armor and return to the fields?"

"Reward." Guo Dong said, "The reward is rich, and now it is very rich. After the battle, there will be a new reward. Hehe, I thought about going back before because I couldn't let go of my family. , My mother and my brother are not suitable for long distances.

But as long as you have enough money, ride in a carriage, and eat and drink on the way, then what's the problem?

If the money is enough, there will be no problem, and the bride price is enough, and Miss Ah Shui's family is willing to let her out with me. "

"Next time, I'll let you have two more heads. If you get promoted, your Miss Ah Shui's family will come along with you. Your father-in-law doesn't dare to put on airs to you."

"Don't, don't, brothers, don't say such nonsense." Guo Dong immediately shook his head and said seriously, "I'm short of money, I will borrow it from you, anyway, you, Xu An, can eat enough for one person and the whole family is not hungry, so I won't either. I'm being polite to you. But the future is yours, and I can't delay your future.

You are smarter than me, and you can learn everything faster than me. You will have a bright future in the future. My father also told me that you are smarter than me. "

Xu An shook his head and said, "I'm from Jin."

"Then General Jin is still a barbarian!"

Guo Dong shouted.

"Presumptuous, bold!"

At this time,

The two knights outside the fence yelled directly.

Guo Dong was stunned when he saw this, because behind the two knights, there was a general riding a horse. The general was wearing black armor without a helmet, showing a very obvious barbarian face.

the fence is opened,

The two knights rode over first, and seemed to be about to give up again, but they were directly scolded by Jin Shuke behind: "Get out of the way."

The two knights stepped aside immediately.

Jinshu can come slowly on horseback,

Guo Dong and Xu An immediately saluted:

"See General Jin!"

"See General Jin!"

Jin Shu laughed and waved his whip twice, cursing at the two knights in front who were also his personal guards:

"What's wrong with the barbarian? I'm a barbarian. It's not a shame to be called a barbarian. Why are you in such a hurry? Uncle doesn't pay that much attention to superiority and inferiority. How can you two help me show off?

What's the matter, do you want everyone to know that my airs are bigger than Uncle's? "

After Jinshu can reprimand the two guards,

bow your head,

First look at Guo Dong,

road:

"What are you talking about?"

Guo Dong quickly raised his head and said: "If you go back to the general... I... I..."

Guo Dong was still a little nervous. First, he dug a hole himself. Second, although the status of Yan people has advantages in the army, it depends on who he compares with.

Who doesn't know that the barbarian general in front of him is the uncle's confidant and favorite general?

In the Xueguan army, the uncle's first trust is General Liang.

General Liang's ability is also admired by everyone;

The second person I trust is this General Jin, who has experienced military exploits and has never disappointed his uncle. During the battle of Dongshan Fort, he was the last one to fight, turning the situation around and saving his uncle.

Xu An continued: "As for the general, my brother said that I have a good brain and will have a great future in the future. I told him that I am from Jin, not from Yan. To encourage me, my brother said, General Jin, you are also from a barbarian family. You are not from Yan, but you can still take the position of general and become the uncle's right-hand man. He said that under our uncle's rule, there is no distinction between education and education. As long as you are willing to serve and be loyal to your uncle, It’s bound to come out on top.”

Jin Shu Ke looked at Xu An, but said nothing.

Xu An lowered his head slowly.

a long time,

Alchemy is ridiculous,

He thought of when he was guarding the city gate.

At that time, he was not very good at speaking Xia Yu, and often made mistakes in idioms, which often caused jokes;

but,

He is still very good at talking.

He gained his uncle's appreciation by virtue of his military exploits and rose step by step.

But if there is no recommendation from the sword master back then,

He didn't have the chance to make meritorious deeds at all.

"What is your name?"

"If you go back to the general, the younger one is called Xu An."

"Are you literate?" Jin Shuke asked.

Xu An nodded and said, "Literacy, I went to private schools for several years when I was young."

"What about riding?"

"meeting!"

"Come on, let me tell you a long time, just tell me what I said, tomorrow, go and be a personal guard outside my tent."

"Thank you, General, for your support!"

Xu An solemnly knelt down and kowtowed three times. This is a solemn etiquette.

At this time, the eyes gathered around gradually increased.

Jin Shu raised his head, glanced around, and said loudly:

"Uncle, it doesn't matter where you are from, as long as you are willing to work hard, as long as you have the ability, uncle doesn't care about your background, rewards and punishments are clear!

I,

Alchemy can,

a barbarian,

Being able to sit in this position is the best proof!

I can have today,

In the future, you will also be able to have the same, to be able to fight with uncle, and to be dependent on life and death. This is the blessing that us Qiu Basan has cultivated all his life! "

finished speaking,

Jin Shu can ride away, and he still has military information to report.

After Dejin Shuke and his personal guards left,

Many robes came up to congratulate Xu An.

After dealing with it,

Xu An breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like he was dreaming.

he turned around,

Looking at Guo Dong who was still leaning against the fence, he was still stroking the handle of the knife, intoxicated.

Xu An said;

"You just shouted when you saw General Jin coming."

Guo Dong woke up from the intoxication, froze for a moment, then looked at Xu An, smiled softly,

road;

"hold head high."
