On three sides,
under the imperial banner of Emperor Yan,
the emperor was sitting on the royal chariot, looking at the scene of the siege ahead.
In the distance on both sides, you can clearly see wounded soldiers and corpses being transported down, while the siege battle ahead is still in full swing.
Besides the emperor, in addition to Eunuch Wei and Eunuch Zhang, as well as Mao Mingcai, the chief minister of the cabinet, there was also a slightly reduced meat mountain...Xu Wenzu.
Xu Pangpang can be said to be a brick in Dayan, and he can be moved wherever needed.
During the previous war between Yan and Chu, Xu Wenzu was sent to Yingdu as an imperial envoy to take charge of logistics. After the national war that lasted for more than half a year came to an end, he was transferred again by the emperor's decree. Yinlang County has returned to the place where his dream began.
In fact, it is also the place where Zheng Shoubei’s dream began.
In the past ten years or so, the three sides of Qian country have always been a very ambiguous existence;
The people of Qian know that the three sides of their country are very solid, and the people of Yan also know that, Therefore, although the Yan people have shouted slogans to break up the three sides many times, they have only shouted the slogans over the years and have not really taken action. The purpose is to create a tense atmosphere on the border so that each can get what they need. , to help him on the battlefield.
But this time, it’s different.
The Yan army came, and the emperor of Yan State also came, and the Yan army really began to attack the three sides.
This is not a feint, nor is it just a pretense. It is really costing you a lot to chew on this rammed earth wall!
Then, it is indeed proved that it is difficult to attack the three sides. This is still one of the main cities, and even after repelling the reinforcements from other roads, it is still impossible to see how to conquer it in a short time. dawn.
"His...his...his..."
The emperor witnessed the anxiety and tragedy of the battle with his own eyes, and felt a little distressed when he looked at the wounded and dead soldiers one by one. Said:
"Every day, not only do I have to consume so much food and grass, but I also have to spend so much money on pensions. I feel so distressed."
Mao Mingcai After hearing this, I had to advise:
"Your Majesty, please be careful what you say."
At present, the soldiers are risking their lives to attack the city, and the emperor is behind, how can he say To say "feeling sorry" for the money?
If these words were spread, it would be an insult to the holy name.
Xu Wenzu smiled and said: "Master Mao's words are wrong. Think about it. If Quanxia knew about the soldiers who died in the battle right now, would he hope that our Majesty would shed tears for them, or would he be thinking about it? Where is the pension money that will be given to their families?"
Mao Mingcai was stunned and said: "That's what I said, but your Majesty is your Majesty after all, you shouldn't..."
"Okay. Okay, you are all family members, what is there to worry about?"
The emperor stood up and asked:
"Lanyang City. Bian, you still haven’t taken action?”
Xu Wenzu said: "Yes."
"Oh, fortunately, I brought you two with me this time. If I had brought all the people in the court, I'm afraid It's already a big deal. It's time to call out the man named Zheng who deliberately let the imperial army consume his own strength by watching the fire from across the bank." "Your Majesty is wise, when it comes to fighting, the ministers are far inferior to the regent."
p>
“If you add me, I don’t know how to fight.
However,
Fortunately, I can be obedient even when I don’t understand;
I will cooperate with him as long as he wants me to.
Where can I go now?
Even if I lose all my family wealth,
I won’t even blink an eye.
My father and his generation always gambled on the fate of the country. How can we do that?”
Xu Wenzu said. : "Thank you, Your Majesty, for coming in person."
The emperor sighed,
and said:
"I didn't want to come, but I was afraid that I would The eldest brother and Li Liangshen are reluctant to leave this family.
This time, I am here to be the supervisor.
Although I also think that my surname is Zheng. This time the game was too big and too risky;
But since his surname Zheng has already been on the gambling table,
then I,
We can only go along and suppress our wealth."
...
The three sides have been at war for a long time; but here in Lanyang City, it is still sunny and windy. Korea.
The Yan Army and Yan Army camps outside the city were so densely packed that one could not see the end at a glance. What was flying was the royal flag of the Regent of Dayan.
The camps behind Lanyang City are also densely packed and can be seen as far as the eye can see. The ones flying are the Meng flag, the Zhong flag and the Han flag.
The armies of both sides formed a confrontation with Lanyang City as the boundary.
The Yan army did not attack the city,
The Qian army did not attack,
Everyone seemed to have acquiesced and continued this... The years are quiet.
In Commander Yan’s tent,
Gou Moli was sitting there, issuing military orders one after another, mobilizing the entire army’s daily activities;
At the top of Lanyang City,
he was holding a sword that the sword maid bought for him from the Nanmenguan blacksmith shop and was on guard with the defenders. Daxia Chen, who was preparing to defend the city,
his brows
were getting deeper and deeper;
Because Daxia Chen knew that Zheng Fan regarded him as a friend,
>But Chen Daxia knew better.
The reputation of his friend was not so great that the man named Zheng was reluctant to order an attack just because he was here.
Especially yesterday,
When Lanyang Jiedu led a group of generals to inspect the tower,
there was a clear expression on his faceThe smile seemed to be that something big had happened or was about to happen.
Somehow,
seeing the smiles on their faces,
Chen Daxia’s heart became tighter and tighter.
He had stayed by Zheng Fan's side for a long time. Sometimes when Zheng Fan was not using troops against Qian but elsewhere, he would stay in the commander's tent to protect the man named Zheng.
So,
He has seen too many former opponents named Zheng, and after laughing happily...
Chen Daxia is a rough man; Wufu, he doesn't understand military matters, nor the overall situation of the world, and even... he is a little uneducated.
So, he couldn't analyze this feeling, nor could he write it down on paper, but he instinctively wanted to speak it out and inform the Jiedushi envoy.
But when he took the initiative to go over and prepare to beg to see him to express his feelings and worries,
he was blocked by the personal guard of the Jiedushi Lord through the old man. It was stopped far away.
He has the protection and certification of Yao Zizhan, and he has the name of a hero. Therefore, he can enter Lanyang, climb the city wall, and help defend the city. Since he is willing to serve the country in the name of a Jianghu person, Because of his effectiveness, no one can stop him;
But because everyone knows that although he is a gangster, he has a close relationship with the regent, so the Lord Jiedushi does not dare to let him get close.
It is clear that
when he first went to Lanyang City to report on the military situation that was lagging behind early on,
the Jiedushi Master cordially He received me and greeted me warmly.
Chen Daxia finally came to his senses.
The interview that day did not seem to be for Master Yao’s sake.
Because Master Jiedushi was still there that day. He specifically asked himself,
He asked:
"How is your health, Mr. Prince Regent?"
......
Going to Beijing,
Imperial Palace;
Zhao Mugou, an official of the state of Qian who had just finished today's meeting in the imperial study room, returned to his palace and once again rejected the eunuchs and maids. Man, facing the portrait of the female sword fairy.
The official family used to have a habit of talking to this portrait every once in a while;
But in the past two months, the frequency has become higher and higher. Almost once a day.
This means that the official is becoming more and more nervous.
“I asked Li Xundao, can it be done this time?
Li Xundao’s answer to me was that I have done everything I can and arranged everything in advance. , now, all we have to do is wait for Jiangnan’s results
It’s almost time,
Because even if Yanren senses something is wrong,
it’s too late for him to do anything. What happened?
But the exact military report didn’t come in one day,
No,
it was one day.Until I see the regent's head placed in front of my royal table,
my heart will not be able to settle down for a day.
Do you think that,
I, the emperor, seem to be very hopeless and hopeless?
So,
Where are you?
If you were by my side at this time, accompanying me, then my heart would not be so panicked.
Because,
Only with you by my side,
can prove that my dream is true;
It means
I am truly...the one destined by destiny. "
......
Qianjun Mingjin retreated;
Xie Yu'an untied his leather armor, leaned back a little tiredly, and sat down On the steps.
Since the Qian army began to attack the city, Xie Yuan has been responsible for one wall alone.
It is very tiring and not easy.
When it hangs down. When he turned his head,
it could be seen that the two long strands of hair on his temples, which symbolized the elegance of the Chu nobles, had long been cut off.
The sword maker walked over. Although there were no injuries on his side, there were clear black marks on his clothes and face. He was more reserved than before when he was walking in the wind and had to control his hair.
Ah. The sword maker handed over the water bag and the sword maker shook his head.
Ada handed the water bag to Xie Yuan, and Xie Yuan took it and started to drink.
A'er brought a basin and filled it. The sword maker began to wash his face with clean water.
After washing his face, A'er was about to pour it out when Xie Yu'an reached out to stop him, took the basin, and washed himself with the water.
p>“Ever since I witnessed one of your Xie family’s light cavalry being strangled in front and behind the city that day, you have become... working harder. "
It was also that day.
Xie Yuan, who could have stood behind and commanded like a feather fan, changed into leather armor and cut off his long hair on the temples.
“Didn’t I work hard before? "Xie Yu'an asked back.
"Oh, it used to be called working hard, but now, it's called working hard. "
Xie Yu'an took the handkerchief that the swordmaker had used to wipe his face before, wiped his own face, and said with emotion:
"I have a good father. "
"It's strange, what happened? "The sword maker was really confused.
"Many people call me Qianliju of the Xie family. I also felt that way at one time. I thought how lucky my old man was to be able to do so. You have a son like me.
But now, I realize how lucky I am to have a father like him. ”
“I don’t understand. ”
“You don’t need to understand. "
Xie Yu'an stretched out his hand, put it on the sword maker's shoulder, and said seriously:
"I will take good care of the Dugu family. ”
“How can youWhat care? "The sword maker narrowed his eyes slightly, "I seem to understand, but I'm missing a key link. "
"Everyone says that the regent of Dayan is loyal and keeps his promises. Now my father is in Tongyan City, and I am the only one in front of him. Just wait, the prince will..."
The sword maker coughed lightly;
Xie Yuan stopped speaking.
Not long after, a figure in a black python robe appeared from the corner of the street ahead. As soon as he appeared, the surroundings were surrounded. The soldiers and wounded soldiers immediately stood up subconsciously.
After guarding the city for so long, no one would complain, and no one would finally see their prince. Absolutely, when facing their prince, these soldiers were not only loyal but also loyal.
The prince walked straight towards this side, followed by His Royal Highness and the Sword Master.
Look at his dirty face, and then look at the clean white clothes of the sword master. The sword maker spread his hands and expressed confusion.
As for the sword master,
He scanned the sword maker from top to bottom carefully,
Then,
looked away again
This time, he almost lost his sight. The sword maker vomited blood. If he hadn't known that he had spent too much energy defending the city, and if he hadn't known that he was no match for the sword master in a duel, the sword maker would have wanted to slap the sword box and reason with his sword! < /p>
Why is it that I am the one who works so hard to defend the city, while you are leisurely and leisurely?
Similarly,
The prince’s python robe is obviously for this purpose. I just changed it when I went out, but Xie Yuan looks like this now
Maybe the people outside are attacking the city with all their strength, not to capture this big Xie family Qianliju. Regent Yan?
The prince stretched out his hand and put it on Zheng Lin's head.
Zheng Lin's expression was a little serious. It was obvious that he had experienced resistance not long ago, but it was obvious. Yes, his resistance was suppressed.
If you open the sleeves of His Royal Highness's python robe, you can clearly see a series of tiny pinholes
These are from his previous marriage. An argument broke out between his father and his mother almost sewed him into a "scarecrow".
Zheng Lin stepped forward and bowed to the sword maker.
< p> said:“I want a sword. ”
The sword maker looked shocked at first, and then pleasantly surprised.
Although it is not an apprenticeship ceremony, it is at least half of it.
The rare thing is that the prince His Highness took the initiative to tell himself, and what’s even more rare is that Yu Huaping didn’t say a word.
“Easy to say, easy to say. ”
The sword maker said hurriedly.
He is too involved in the world, and coupled with his obsession with making swords, in the way of swordsmanship, he wants to pursue Yu Huaping’s angle and continue to move forward. It's very difficult, so he actually values inheritance more than the sword master.
What's more important is that the prince wants a sword from him. As long as he has the gift of half a master, then.It is equivalent to the Dugu family behind him, and he has a romantic relationship with the prince of the palace;
The family provides its own resources, so that he can make swords and play for many years, and live a cool life. As a son of the family, he They must also take responsibility for the family's inheritance.
This is enough.
Next, he, the sword maker, can travel around the world without having to worry about his family anymore.
Well,
Of course, the premise of all this is that Jinghai City will not be destroyed, and the father and son can return to Shanxi safely;
< p>Otherwise, everything is empty talk.But look at Xie Yu'an, look at this prince,
Although the sword maker doesn't understand, he is inexplicably reassured.
Immediately afterwards,
The prince sat down next to Xie Yuan.
Xie Yuan moved slightly away a short distance, and then lowered his buttocks.
"You have a good father."
The prince said what Xie Yu'an said before.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Xie Yu'an responded.
"I'm curious, did your father guess it early?"
"Humble job...I don't know."
Zheng Fan nodded, He sighed with emotion: "After all, it is one of the four pillar countries."
Xie Yu'an was a little bit dumbfounded, and he deliberately showed his dumbfounded expression:
"Your Majesty, what do you mean? This seems a bit inappropriate. "
After all, it is one of the four pillar countries. To outsiders, it sounds like a compliment;
But the prince who has the heads of three pillar countries said. This statement... sounds weird no matter what.
“I have been thinking about one thing recently. It would be too arbitrary to judge success or failure based only on life and death.
For example, the three who were tied with me,
The little prince of the barbarians, to be honest, I am not very interested in his affairs in the desert, and I don’t know much about him, but I guess he is not a good person, otherwise the old barbarian king would also I will not push him to the top at all costs;
It is a pity that he directly faced the King of Jingnan before he could show his wings."
The proudest Goshawk. , facing Lao Tian, the only outcome would be broken wings.
"Let's talk about Nian Yao..."
When talking about Nian Yao, the prince obviously glanced in the direction of the city wall. Among the troops outside the city wall, there were Chu troops. This morning It's not a secret.
The allies who had joined the Qian army in the past instantly became the assistants of the Qian army; A huge detour, if he hadn't made a desperate move, his end would not have been so miserable, let alone so ridiculous.
Finally, let’s talk about Zhong Tianlang. He was restricted by the military power of the Qian Kingdom, so he never got a good opportunity to show himself, and he was always suppressed.On fire.
Looking at it from the outside, those three are no longer worthy of standing together with Gu. Actually, Gu may just be lucky. ”
“My lord, you are so self-effacing. ”
“Your father, it’s the same. "The prince said, "Your father is an old dog..."
It seems a little inappropriate to call someone an old dog in front of his son.
However, this It depends on whose mouth the words come from.
If Xie Yuan says this title from other people, he is not worthy of being a son.
But now,
As long as Jinghai City remains intact, the status of the regent will be far higher than that of a down-and-out country.
After all, Xie Zhuyang. He was still defeated by others, and he was chased almost to death by his two nephews and descendants.
"Old dog" is a bit joking, but there is still affirmation and even a little admiration in it. The meaning is in it.
Xie Yuan knew that his father was standing at the door, and the regent shouted: "You old dog..."
I was afraid it was his father. , and you will also feel that you have a bright face.
Status, reputation, strength, and class are all achieved in essence.
"I will always be wary of myself sometimes. I was really carried away, and in the end I underestimated this world hero. "
"Your Majesty..."
Xie Yu'an really didn't know how to respond to this flattery, because he could hear that the prince was speaking out of emotion. It was with sincerity.
But what he said was enough to put the heroes of the world to shame.
In those days, almost everyone in the military respected King Jingnan;
But now, it is no longer the era of King Jingnan, but the era of King Pingxi, the era of the regent.
Even the Yan people themselves think that the regent is better than the master. , is a military god who is better at fighting than King Jingnan.
The prince was silent for a while,
Everyone in the circle was also silent.
Although the sword maker is still in a state of confusion, he knows that after silence, there will be...a reward.
Xie Yuan mentioned this when he talked to him before. Passed;
Moreover, my reward, or specifically Dugu’s reward, has been given.
So,
What about Xie?
p>
The prince said:
"Delimit half of Chunan,
Xie family,
build the country. "
The sword maker opened his eyes wide;
Xie Yu'an, after a brief moment of astonishment, immediately knelt down and said:
"Your Majesty, the Xie family does not want to build a country. "
" Gu Na's uncle's position as the leader of the Chu Kingdom will no longer be allowed to sit down after Gu returns. "
My uncle's back stabbing was a bit unnatural, and it had already exceeded Zheng Fan's bottom line;
In the past, it was easy to talk about, but this time, he Zheng Fan Anyone who takes his son with him on the road.
It is true that the prince is a slave to his daughter, but as for his son, although he is not a favorite, as a father, he will not allow anyone to really dare to harm his own child.
Xie Yu'an swallowed,
immediately said:
"The Lord of Chu has rebelled against the prince and deserves to be punished!
I Mr. Xie,
I am very lucky to have received the prince’s appreciation and protection;
I dare not ask for God’s favor.”
The prince smiled,
Tao:
"There must be a way to reward him."
The influence of the Xie family in Chunan is very great. One-third of the people in Chunan are almost Xie. The family's private land;
Why didn't Zheng Fan take advantage of the great victory in Shanggu County to continue to use troops against Chu?
There are many reasons, but one of the most important ones is that I am afraid that my uncle will take the capital and the court to move to the south of Chu, so that the cavalry of Jindong and Dayan will have to stay in Chunan. Soaked in the quagmire, faced with endless corruption.
And once the Xie family, the local leader of southern Chu, decides to completely separate from the old Chu, where can the uncle... where else can he run?
Xie Yuan’s previous words promised to settle the accounts with Qiu Hou, the leader of the Chu Kingdom, but... he rejected Jianguo.
"Your Majesty has not yet founded the country. How can I, Mr. Xie, and my father and son dare to overstep our bounds?
If Your Majesty wants to support the Xie family,
what Mr. Xie wants is …
There is only one Prince Cheng’s Mansion left.”
“There is only one Prince Cheng’s Mansion left,” Zheng Fan reminded.
The one who cut off his wings was Zheng Fan himself.
"Returning to the prince, it is a great blessing to have wealth and honor that lasts and is passed down from generation to generation."
"That's it, that's all. Let the palace be the palace. I will allow you, the Emperor Yan, to have a Xie family." In the future, you, the Xie family, will inherit the Xiong family's responsibility in Daxia, suppress Shanyue, and tame it into the Xia Dynasty."
"Thank you, my minister!"
Xie Yuan kowtowed.
At this time,
the sound of gongs, drums, whistles and arrows sounded again;
This means that Ganren will take advantage of dusk to attack again this time .
The prince smiled,
said:
“Have a hot pot, the fire has been burning as high as possible, and the vegetables and meat are all
The pot is boiling.
It’s time to hold out your chopsticks.”
"Your Majesty is wise, your Majesty is mighty, you are safe."
Last time, Xie Yuan was the commander-in-chief of the Chu army and was defeated by Zheng Fan personally in Shanggu County;
This time, Xie Yuan stood beside Zheng Fan the whole time, but kissed himWitnessed, and then conquered again.
Zheng Fan waved his hand,
said:
"This is really not my king's back-up plan. The reason why I haven't shown up these days is because I I'm too lazy to pretend in front of you, and I don't know how to pretend to understand. It's actually quite painful."
"Your Majesty, you..."
"It's really not self-effacing, it's not your father's message. , I don’t know where the breaking point comes from.”
“How is this possible?”
“Hehehe”
The prince reached out, patted Xie Yuan's shoulder, and said:
"So, don't underestimate this hero of the world.
I think back then, I led a lone army, After Qianli infiltrated into the Yechu coalition forces, he captured the Xueguan Pass, and then gritted his teeth and defended it;
It was supposed to be a near-death situation,
But, at that time, I was really worried I'm not panicking, but I'm very confident."
I feel confident that the person can see the situation clearly, and I am sure that the person can break the situation.
Xie Yuan said: "That's because there was King Jingnan at that time."
"Yes."
"But now King Jingnan is not here Now..."
"But there has always been a person beside me, from the very beginning,
who is not inferior to King Jingnan."
...
The winding mountain road is densely packed with knights leading horses, and behind it, there is clearly a team of local Shanyue people organized to transport military supplies.
Jin Shuke took off his helmet and said in surprise:
"General, I thought this mountain road was difficult to walk and it would take more time;
Who would have imagined that this mountain road would be so smooth, and each temporary camp would be so well-organized and spacious?
The most important thing is that food, herbs and other military supplies are also placed in each camp.
Earlier, Xie Zhuyang was the pioneer of our prince, but he never expected that this road could be built like this. It is thanks to his pragmatism that our army can be here without being delayed."
"The general is here."
"You have never thought that Xie Zhuyang may have expected it, so he has already made arrangements."
"But the general, you clearly said that the prince sent you to Lanyang The city has not given you any other instructions. Since even the prince has not given any instructions, how could Xie Zhuyang..."
"When you Jin Shuke looked at the city gate, who could have thought of it? , can you become the right-hand man of the Regent of Dayan in the future?
Don’t underestimate this hero of the world.
As for the prince’s arrangements for me...
It’s not because the prince has forgotten or neglected,
but because the prince knows clearly,
There is no need to do anything to me.Too many arrangements. "
"The general is loyal to the prince, and I will always admire him. "
Liang Cheng shook his head,
said:
"It is taboo in the eyes of others to change the king's order without authorization, even if it is meritorious. , in fact, it is still a big mistake, and it is difficult to end well;
It’s just that,
our prince knows,
you may be able to rebel if you are good at metal. ;
But I,
will never rebel against him. ”
While talking,
the two generals of the Jindong Army walked up to the top of the mountain. After passing the mountain, the next step was to the east of Qianjiang River in the state of Qian.
Liang Cheng stood there,
looking at the foggy area ahead,
closed his eyes,
p>
This big zombie, who has always been accustomed to being cold and cold,
at this moment was rarely moved,
and even couldn't help but sigh:
"After waiting for so long,
finally,
it's my turn. ”
