Devil’s Advent

Coming out of the school ground where the stage was located, Prince Pingxi did not choose to return to Prince Fu's Mansion, but went straight out of the city and returned to the camp outside the city.

After a good night's sleep on a good bed and a good quilt, and looking at his seemingly solemn but shabby handsome tent, the prince shook his head, sighed, and smiled again.

"Dahu, go ask the theater troupe, if you are willing to go with us, you can take it with you, if you don't, it doesn't matter."

"Yes, my lord!"

After Liu Dahu walked out of the tent, the Juggernaut said, "If he asks, he might not leave."

Change the image of Zheng Man, who is almost handsome, and Chen Xianba, who is more heroic,

The troupe would probably think that the prince fell in love with the opera. If they didn't leave, the Yan people would get angry and kill people. There was no option to leave.

But Liu Dahu is honest in appearance and honest in his bones. He will definitely swear to protect the prince on the battlefield, but on weekdays, it will inevitably give people a feeling of insufficient deterrence;

And the prince also added the sentence "It doesn't matter", then there is a high probability that Liu Dahu really went to discuss it.

"This king gave them a chance. Their daughters assassinated this king. Is it possible that this king has to enshrine them, crying and telling them to come with me to save their lives?"

"Too."

The prince picked up the teacup, blew on it, and asked:

"Old Yu, how do you feel?"

"What does it feel like?"

"The feeling of traveling this way."

"It's okay. The scenery in the dry land is really good. I have been to Jiangnan before, and the scenery is even better."

"You know that's not what I'm asking."

"I used to think that the retainers of the three Jin families were all short-sighted and only cared about luxury and enjoyment, but when they really touched their roots, they would rise up and resist.

The Yan people won the Helian family and the Wenren family, and they also won the territory on the basis of destroying these two elites.

After Situ's family was nearly avalanche in Xuehaiguan, Situ Lei was able to fight hard before he died.

But this man..."

"That's why the imperial court treats Jin as equals. Basically, Jin people and Yan people may have a biased distinction, but in terms of governance, in fact, Yan and Jin are almost equal from the beginning.

Because the imperial court was afraid that the Jin people would rise up to rebel, and did not want the land of Jin to become a quagmire that the imperial court had to fall into.

And if it was the Qian state that was destroyed at the beginning, the expropriation and demand for the dry land would definitely be much higher than that of the Jin land, because the resistance of the Qian people could be controlled.

When wolves demand from sheep, they will be more unscrupulous. "

"I didn't expect that the imperial court would bully the weak and fear the hard when governing?"

"Since ancient times, children who know how to bark have been given sweets to eat. There is a big difference between those who dare to rebel and those who dare not, and those who are rebellious can be calmed down quickly and difficult to be calmed down or not at all."

"Just like your Jindong."

"right."

"But you just said to that Jing Niang before that there is actually no difference between a Yanren and a Qianren."

"But the influence of the upper layer on the lower layer, even if it is scraping the bone to cure the poison, will never be restored overnight."

"Then why did you lead your troops out of Nanmen Pass and bring them here again?"

"It's been several years. If you give it another few years, it can't be described as a day and a night. Maybe, five years? Ten years? One crop goes down and one crop rises.

When the day comes,

I sat there watching the play,

It wasn't the actors on the stage who wanted to kill me, but the group of people in official uniforms.

This dry country,

How else to fight? "

"So, you are also bullying the weak and fearing the strong."

"You can't say that. After all, you can't blame others for not being martial arts. You like picking up soft persimmons. First of all, you have to blame yourself for being soft."

Zheng Fan said to Chen Xian domineeringly: "The order will go on, the whole army will speed up the rest and reorganization, and the food, grass and military supplies will be counted now."

"Here!"

Zheng Fan looked at Zheng Man again:

"Order Chen Xiong to lead the vanguard and set off to the south immediately to meet Mr. San's sentry cavalry spies."

"Here!"

"Is it going to be unleashed?" The sword master asked.

"yes."

Zheng Fan turned the inkstone in front of him,

"I'm afraid there, so I'm in a hurry."

"Which side?"

"What do you think, where else can it be?"

"Where are you waiting?"

"It's impossible to wait for me under the upper capital. As long as my army goes under the upper capital, that is, if we just throw a stone on the city wall, the great victory of Liangdi that the gangster managed to achieve will be wiped out in one fell swoop, and he will have to post it upside down." .

Why did I march so slowly all the way, and why did I still have to come to Chuzhou City to rest.

It is to make the defenders of the Qianguo on the opposite side think that I, Zheng Fan, am following the old path of the past. "

"Then, how are you going to go?"

"Back then, because Li Bao was at the front to attract the main force of the Qian army to fight all the way, this gave Li Fusheng the opportunity to make a detour and intersperse, one step ahead, entered Bianzhou County, and broke into the land of Qian Ren Gyeonggi.

This time, I intend to do the opposite, instead of following Li Fusheng's path back then, I will follow Li Bao's path.

I bet he will put the main force in the south on a detour to intercept me,

I bet that there is no bow and arrow in the bowstring of the army directly in front of him. "

"It seems that you shouldn't explain these words to me."

"It's you who keep asking."

"I did it on purpose."

"Why?"

"Because I think you seem a little flustered, so I kindly keep answering your questions."

"Thanks."

…

that night,

To be exact, at dusk, Fu Wang Zhao Yuannian drove his mother, and even his whole family, out of the city into the military village in a carriage.

He was afraid, afraid that King Pingxi would really leave without saying a word, if that was the case, his Prince Fu's mansion would really be ruined.

It's just that the prince didn't let Princess Fu enter his handsome account, but arranged for the group of people in Prince Fu's residence together.

Princess Fu is not Si Niang,

Si Niang can accompany Zheng Fan to eat, drink and sleep in the handsome tent, but Si Niang is not a vase after all.

When you have free time on weekdays, you can relax leisurely, but in the handsome tent, the prince's mind is always clear.

Liu Dahu came back and reported that the troupe was unwilling to leave, so the prince didn't have any follow-up reaction to this matter.

the next day into the night,

Yan Jun withdrew from Chuzhou City.

In the early morning of another day, the Yan army began to move south.

After confirming that Yan Jun left,

A cadre army that has been on the outskirts with a small number of thousands of people began to approach Chuzhou City and successfully "recaptured" it.

Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner following the old practice of Lanyang City;

After Chuzhou City returned to the control of the "Qian Kingdom", it began to restore contact with the imperial court, and a piece of petition was sent up.

The cauldron was all given to Fu Wang Zhao Yuannian. Of course, he also shouldered the responsibility.

For the rest, it focuses on how the officials of Chuzhou City led the people to resist the Yan people to the death, and it once developed to street fighting, and everyone vowed to die;

Finally, reinforcements arrived and drove out the Yan captives.

only,

When writing about Yanlu's last move, the gentlemen had a difficult time.

Since the Yan captives were expelled, but if you write that they went south, is it still called expulsion?

How can there be any reason to expel them more and more to their own country?

Therefore, after Yan Jun's follow-up movement, the big guys began to fuzzify.

Thick-skinned and thin-brained, they said that the Yan army fled and fled, and they were not in the army;

Those who are thin-skinned and thick-headed say that after the Yan army was repelled and could not take advantage of it, they moved to the southwest or southeast. I hope the court will make arrangements early so that the Yan people will not take advantage. After all, the defenders in other places Generals and officials are unlikely to sacrifice their lives for the country like myself.

But invisibly, one thing was confused, that is, the direction of the Yan army's advance, and the Yan army turned around, which actually confirmed a certain possibility.

Of course, they are not the main force of confusion;

Because the sentry cavalry led by Xue San and the thousands of vanguard cavalry led by Chen Xiong also walked in a roundabout way, trying their best to scare the snake away.

Next, is the extremely boring long-distance march;

And when the main force of the army led by Prince Pingxi arrived in Xishan County, it proved that the previous gamble was successful.

Xishan County is the last line of defense north of Bianzhou County, which is the capital of Qianguo.

In Qianguo's defense system, the three sides are the first defense chain, and the second is Xishan County;

When Li Bao's troops were here, they were held back by the dry army and fell into a bitter battle. It was the kind of fierce battle that just defeated one and then filled in another one, and then defeated and filled in a new one. Folded an arm.

But this time, when Zheng Fan's army passed by the city of Xishan County and the area not far from the Xishan Camp, the largest military camp in Xishan County, with an attitude of almost no one else, the army inside did not choose to come out to meet or block it. .

This means that their main force should have gone to the front line of Acacia Mountain.

Because it was Zheng Fan who suggested that Li Fusheng go to Acacia Mountain, let Li Bao act as a sandbag to attract hatred, and he quickly leaped forward and went straight to Shangjing.

Maybe Ganren didn't expect that King Pingxi dared to be so tough with the posture of a lonely army.

Everyone thought he would go through the small door, but who would have thought that he would go directly through the main door.

However, just when the Yan army was planning to pass through Xishan County in one fell swoop, and the soldiers and horses were approaching the southern border of Xishan County, a group of soldiers and horses appeared from the north.

There are quite a few soldiers and horses in this army, with 50,000 to 60,000 people, but the armor is different, the system is different, and the organizational system is scattered. At first glance, it looks like the King Qin's division put together improvised.

However, this cadre army is different from the cadres who saw the flag of the Yan army on the road and only dared to wait for the Yan army to leave before they dared to "recover the lost ground";

It seems that because the purpose of the Yan army has been clarified, they began to chase the Yan army "recklessly" in a fast march, almost recklessly.

The two armies, both of which are nearly 50,000 in size, naturally cannot chase each other like children fighting. One is running and the other is chasing. In fact, the peripheral contact and tension between the two sides has already begun.

And because after passing Xishan County and entering Bianzhou County, you have to cross the Bianhe River, and the Bianhe River has not yet frozen, so in order to solve the problem behind you, you have already cleared up the trouble;

Under the order of Prince Pingxi,

The Yan army began to set up camp, waiting for the dry army from the rear.

And after the dry army narrowed the distance, they also chose to camp and settle down. While camping, according to the report from the sentinel, there were deserters constantly appearing in the dry army.

Obviously, the previous chase was still under the control of the emotions of some soldiers, but once the Yan army stopped going south and stopped, seeing that it was really going to hit the tiger, the soldiers became scared and began to flee .

This has not yet been fought, it has already become like this, it is really the exclusive characteristic of the dry army in normal state.

but,

In the army stronghold over there, envoys were sent, and the envoys came to fight. The two sides agreed that starting in the morning of the next day, they would set up an army in the field for a decisive battle!

Immediately,

A primitive wind of etiquette blows in our faces.

Zheng Fan also paid special attention to the signature under the gauntlet——Han Yi.

"What does this word read?"

Zheng Fan asked Ah Ming beside him.

"Read: Sui."

"oh."

The prince nodded, and then, his attention fell on the series of titles in front of this name, such as Prince Taifu, Ning Anhou, etc., the titles that people can't finish at a glance mean that this person is extraordinary. .

"It should be a high-ranking official, or even... a certain gentleman. Mr. Han? Xianba, call Zhao Yuannian here."

"Here!"

Zhao Yuannian was called, and after reading the gauntlet, he immediately gave the answer:

"If you go back to the prince, it is Mr. Han."

"The one who killed Mr. Assassin?"

Zhao Yuannian was stunned for a moment, and said: "In fact, there is a reason, but the prince can understand it in this way, it is indeed that one."

"How old are you?"

"Should, it's past the age of octogenarians."

"So, the commander-in-chief of that army is a...civilian over eighty years old?"

"My lord, Mr. Han's temper has always been irritable and strong. Even if the officials found an opportunity to dismiss him because of your lord's appointment, he often wrote letters to the officials in the local area to bluntly say that the officials have made mistakes in their administration."

"Strong and impatient, this king has seen it. If you are not strong or impatient, you will not be able to do the thing that you want to fight this king in the afternoon."

During the last attack on Gan, when the three sides of the Qian Kingdom were unable to return to aid and the local troops were defeated all the way, rebel troops organized by local officials appeared in all the counties of the Qian Kingdom and entered the capital to serve the king.

Come to think of it, this Mr. Han, based on his own fame and status, could not say that he still had something like a Shangfang sword in his hand, so he forcibly mobilized and organized this army from his hometown county to stop him.

"Xianba, start writing a letter to this king, talking about the decisive battle, and this king agrees."

"Here!"

Whether to fight, when to fight, whether to fight according to the agreement, Zheng Fan hasn't decided yet, but it doesn't prevent him from agreeing first.

Promises, integrity, and ancient benevolence are not worth mentioning on the battlefield of intrigue.

only,

When this letter from King Pingxi was sent out,

at dusk,

Another envoy was sent from the northern barracks with a second letter.

Chen Xianba opened the letter and delivered it to the prince.

The prince read the letter,

Then he turned his head to look at the Juggernaut standing beside him,

road:

"I feel that my character has returned."

The Juggernaut was a little puzzled.

"hehe."

The prince patted the envelope,

road:

"Isn't it a decisive battle in the day after tomorrow? Prime Minister Han promised me to meet in front of the two armies tomorrow. It was also marked that according to ancient rituals, you can choose a flag bearer to accompany you."

This is actually the same as the fact that the two armies do not kill their envoys when they are fighting, it is a customary etiquette that has been passed down for many years;

But in the past few years, this etiquette was humiliated to the ground by one person.

But right now,

The same people, the same invitations.

"Old Yu."

"Why, do you want me to be your banner bearer again, beheading an old man in his eighties?"

"Aren't you going?"

"I don't want to go. It can be said that beheading Gerimu back then was a small matter for the sake of righteousness. What about now?"

"Hey, that's not okay, you have to go."

Prince Pingxi patted the table vigorously,

road:

"If that old man doesn't talk about martial arts and is very bad, and the flag bearer next to him is Bailijian, then what should I do?"
