Devil’s Advent

"This is a battle destined to go down in the history books."

Eunuch Huang sighed while riding on horseback;

His right shoulder was bandaged, and the left side of his face was also pasted with a special bandage made by a military doctor of the Jindong Army. His appearance looked a little funny and embarrassing.

Yes, Eunuch Huang went off in person again. Holding his sword and riding his horse, Eunuch Huang followed a group of Yan army knights, chasing the fleeing Chu army soldiers.

Then, Eunuch Huang accidentally kicked his war horse and fell off him. When he landed, he wanted to show the courageous spirit of our family and vainly slapped the ground with his palms to make his figure bounce;

As a result, under the force of that force, his arm broke, not only failed to prop up his figure, but also pressed his face to the ground, creating a big gash.

This injury is a bit embarrassing, but Eunuch Huang didn't pay much attention to these details, and it's fine to go back with a little injury;

Is this hurt?

No,

This is brilliance!

According to the military rules of the Eastern Jin Army, war profits and captives will be divided according to the overall echelon of the corresponding division of labor. Therefore, since Eunuch Huang participated in that military operation, even if he was injured and left the field halfway, his Under the name, there are still one and a half captives.

Guo Dong, the meritorious officer, thoughtfully classified the one and a half prisoner merits of Eunuch Huang into one.

Eunuch Huang was overjoyed and gave Guo Dong a small jadeite snuff bottle that was close to him.

The military discipline of the Eastern Jin Army is strict, and it is a serious crime to be greedy and lie about military achievements;

However, Guo Dong is cutting military merits, and the victim has no objection at all, so it has nothing to do with guilt;

As for Eunuch Huang, holding this list of military achievements, when he returned to Beijing, he could say that he was not talented, so he captured an enemy chieftain alive on the battlefield;

Avoid the embarrassment of explaining the extra "half".

Accompanying Eunuch Huang was Liu Dahu.

"The people of Chu tried their best to exaggerate this battle before. In the past few years, they did not hesitate to change the names of the three counties to the names of the three witch gods. Therefore, in this battle, there will be a battle of three witches in Chu, and even a battle of witch gods. statement;

Now it seems that the witch god can't save the people of Chu.

However, it is a good fit for this battle to be included in the history books, what do you think? "

Liu Dahu nodded and said:

"If you go back to your father-in-law, you don't have much literacy in humble jobs."

"Be humble, be humble." Of course, Eunuch Huang knows that Liu Dahu is the one who can review military documents for the regent. "In the documents that our family gave to His Majesty, the words 'War of the Witch Gods' are used, hehe."

Liu Dahu also laughed.

"After this war, the state of Chu couldn't be ups and downs at all. The four major kingdoms of the Xia Dynasty, the state of Jin was destroyed early, and the state of Chu was beaten to the ground. trash.

Lord Xiandi, the unification of the Xias that my Majesty of the Great Yan has longed for is really within sight.

Our family is fortunate to be born in this era. Our family is fortunate to be able to stand by our prince's side in the handsome tent with a shy face.

you don't know

That boy Wei Zhonghe, the word "appreciation" to the prince who was still on guard back then has become a joke now. "

"I've heard of the humble job."

"Haha, right? Let me tell you, every time that old guy hears someone mentioning this, his face turns pale with fright."

Eunuch Huang is not afraid of Eunuch Wei,

Maybe I was afraid before, but now I am indifferent.

Even though you, Wei Zhonghe, are a Qi refiner and cultivated as emperors of two generations, you will be your confidant,

But can you go to the army to be that mascot!

"By the way, where is the prince now?"

"I'm afraid they have already crossed the Wei River."

"Then we won't be able to catch up."

"Eunuch is not in a hurry, just walk slowly. In fact, according to Wang Ye, Eunuch can stay in Nanguan to recuperate from his injuries."

"This can't be allowed, this can't be allowed. My Dayan is not his country. There is no reason why the prince is fighting in the front and the father-in-law is drinking tea in the back. It doesn't matter where the prince is now. As long as we are in the front, our family still has to fight." chased after.

If nothing else, at least our family can put tea and water by the prince's side. Anyway, there are few people in this world who can compare with our family in terms of serving people. "

When the two were riding, the Yan army escorting the Chu army prisoners of war marched northward from time to time along the way.

The Chu army fled, and the Yan army pursued;

It is naturally impossible to stop the killing of prisoners, but under the royal order of the prince, all the ministries and towns have maintained great restraint, and for the sake of military merit, they have to put down the killing intent in their hearts.

"How much food will be spent to feed so many prisoners of war." Eunuch Huang said with emotion.

"This small half of Chu has been conquered. Father-in-law should be worried about how many people will be needed to grow food for such a large piece of land."

Hearing this, Eunuch Huang lowered his neck suddenly, let his mount lean towards Liu Dahu, and whispered:

"Brother Dahu, just tell our family the truth. Has the lord mentioned how to arrange the newly acquired land?"

There is one county in Fancheng, Liusha, Sansuo, and Shanggu County, which is four counties, and counting the three counties that will soon fall with the loss of the main force, this is seven counties. Its area is much larger than that of Jindong.

Naturally, there must be an explanation for how to arrange such a large site.

Is it true that the concept of kings and lands in the world is not applicable to Dayan, because Jindong has long been used to being a country within a country.

Liu Dahu replied: "Father-in-law, of course my prince and His Majesty will go down to discuss this matter, we have nothing to say."

Eunuch Huang nodded, not thinking that Liu Dahu's words were just perfunctory, but deeply agreeing:

"That's, that's, maybe Your Majesty and the prince have already decided on the regulations a long time ago."

...

Later, Eunuch Huang, accompanied by Liu Dahu, continued to drive on the road;

Ahead, King Regent of Dayan had already crossed the Wei River and stood by the river.

After the collapse of the front line, the Chu army in the rear did not have the slightest intention to turn the tide. In fact, at any time, the army in the front is often the most elite, and the soldiers in the back are mostly those who make up their heads;

If you really want to turn the tide, you will only be engulfed by a large number of defeated troops ahead, which will trigger a series of subsequent collapses.

Therefore, Xie Yu'an, the governor of the three sides of the Chu people, immediately ordered the Chu State Navy to turn around and retreat in all directions.

When the vanguard of the Yan people came here, they were facing the almost undefended Weihe line of defense.

Zheng Fan sat on the horseback, his eyes fell on the position of the group of tombstones.

When the troops were withdrawn earlier, the Jinyi guards had asked Zheng Fan to take back the bones of Pao Ze, but Zheng Fan refused.

Now, the Yan army came back with a big victory. Even if the graves here were dug up to expose the corpses in the wilderness, these soldiers, Qiu Ba, would not care whether they were dead or alive, because they were the winners after all.

However, the tombstone has not been destroyed, and even some decorations have been added.

Obviously, the Chu army deliberately protected this area, and did not vent their anger whether they were attacking or retreating.

Zheng Fan also saw Xie Yu'an's inscription on the newly erected tombstone.

Perhaps, that Qianliju from the Xie family had already made preparations in his heart for this, and he didn't do anything completely.

Because everyone knows that the regent of Dayan is an emotional person, and he has done more than once to slaughter cities and prisoners for the people he cares about.

The blind man stepped forward and said, "My lord, according to the news just now, Jinshu has captured Moya County, and Li Chenghui has also captured Wenqiu County."

Zheng Fan nodded and said, "The people of Chu retreated really simply."

"Yes." The blind man smiled, "The remnant soldiers will be shrunk to Shangyang County, and after that, it will be the capital of Chu State."

It can be said that the original Gyeonggi of Chu State can have people who are full of regional superiority, but they are only a layer away from becoming borderland people.

"It's a pity that many of the main forces of our army are still capturing prisoners in Shanggu County. Otherwise, we can try to take advantage of the trend to capture Shangyang County as well."

"That's not how wars are fought." Zheng Fan vetoed the blind man's statement, "When punching fists, you have to reserve some strength for maneuvering, there is no need to hit them all.

In this national war, we all acted steadily, and it was the Chu people who were so restless that they did not hesitate to gamble everything in the end.

We were not in a hurry before, but now, naturally, we don't have to worry.

What's the point of taking down Shangyang County in a hurry?

It's nothing more than the addition of the former Shanggu County. Is it possible that they still want to take advantage of the situation once and for all and take down the capital of Chu State?

I'm really going to be too excited, so be careful to fall again. "

"What the Lord said is that the meat is already in the bowl, it's nothing more than letting it cool down for a while."

"However, Shangyang County doesn't need to fight, and Chu Kingdom's capital city doesn't need to fight for the time being, but there are still some things that need to be done.

Do you know what the son-in-law likes most when he returns to his wife's natal home? "

The blind man smiled knowingly and said, "Show off."

"Hahaha."

Zheng Fan also laughed and said, "Yes, let her natal family see that the man she chose was right.

After all, the big girl and her mother eloped with me back then. "

The blind man nodded and said, "My lord, I feel that Chu Huang's family will be very pleased that my sister did not choose the wrong man."

"Send someone to order Jin Shuke to lead the army to clear the way for me first, and I will go for a walk under the city of Yingdu."

"The subordinate understands."

Zheng Fan's eyes fell on the tombstone again, and said:

"Oh, by the way, blind man, when the war started earlier, the one who sent the traveling song team in, what do you think is the mastermind behind it?"

"My lord, the qi refiners of the Chu state are presented in the form of witches, but the method of possessing the old man is clearly not the style of the witches of Chu;

What's more, they talked about Zhu Xia's fate and fate at every turn. The subordinates guessed that there should be a force that has been waiting for the so-called fate to take advantage of the trend.

You know, those Qi refiners are the most superstitious about this. "

"But on the battlefield, no one saw them."

"Yes, the Lord should be more aware that those Qi refiners are also the most cowardly."

"Hehe, under the general trend, they can't make any waves. However, since they have taken the plunge, don't think about drowning again. When the situation stabilizes, you and San'er will be responsible for digging deeper."

"The subordinates will."

"Now, I am no longer afraid of thousands of troops. Anyway, in terms of thousands of troops, neither Ganchu nor other small countries will be my opponents.

On the contrary, these things hidden under the water, perhaps, are not just Qi refiners;

In short,

Their presence makes me uncomfortable. "

"The same goes for the subordinates. Please rest assured, the master. After the war calms down, the subordinates will personally preside over the investigation of this matter. They will definitely help the master find them."

"good."

...

The remnants of the Chu army stayed firmly in Shangyang County, but they were not deployed in the whole territory, but limited to a few big cities.

They watched the Yan army cavalry passing through their field of vision, but they had lost the courage to take the initiative to go out of the city to meet the interception, even though they knew in their hearts that the rear was where their capital was.

But what can I do?

The soldiers were already fearful of swallows like tigers, and their fighting spirit was completely smashed;

Even those generals, even if they have the loyalty to serve His Majesty, they also understand that forcing the soldiers at hand to face the Yan people at this moment will have no other effect except to give the Yan people military merit.

A hundred years ago, after the first Marquis of Zhenbei defeated the 500,000 army of the Qian Kingdom, he led a small number of cavalry under his command without receiving follow-up reinforcements and support, and even set foot on the three counties of the Qian Kingdom, which are now the three sides;

Qianren also had the same mentality at that time, he could only watch helplessly, not daring to go up to fight again.

After Yan Jun entered Gyeonggi, he did not encounter too many obstacles.

After the news of the defeat on the front line came back, all the power of the Chu State in the Gyeonggi area was concentrated in Yingdu;

And in Yingdu, there was also an atmosphere of panic.

Who told the people of Yan to invade the capital and burn everything in a fire?

Now, King Jingnan of the Yan people is gone, but the regent who has inherited the mantle of King Jingnan, he has come, and he still defeated the army of Great Chu.

This kind of restlessness is boiling among the people and the court.

...

"Have you lost the battle?"

"Yes, queen mother."

"Where's Tingshan?"

"Said he died in battle."

Emperor Chu peeled a lychee and put it into the mouth of his mother.

The Empress Dowager Chu sat on the chair, opened her mouth, ate the lychees, and chewed them slowly.

a long time,

The queen mother looked at the emperor,

asked;

"Can you still get up?"

Emperor Chu was silent.

"My mother, what can't I say?"

"It's hard." Chu Huang gave the answer.

The Queen Mother stretched out her hand and placed it on the back of Emperor Chu's hand:

"Actually, my mother doesn't have much attachment to Xiong's world, so don't be too tired."

"Queen, the son fought for the throne himself. No matter what, the son can only go down this road."

"Yan people, will they enter the capital?"

"For a while, I'm afraid I won't be able to call in."

"What about the future?"

"Then son, go to Chu Nan."

The Empress Dowager nodded and said: "My mother is old, and when I am old, I feel that life and death, whether to bury the emperor's tomb or the straw mat, are nothing more than that pair of withered bones.

You can make up your own mind, even my mother can't give you any advice. "

"Son understands."

Emperor Chu stood up and said, "Mother, my son has to stabilize the situation."

"You go to work."

"My son will leave."

Chu Huang turned and walked out.

As the distance between mother and child grows farther,

The original kindness on the Empress Dowager's face is gradually disappearing, replaced by more and more serious resentment.

Suddenly,

The Emperor Chu's footsteps stopped, and the resentment on the Empress Dowager's face also froze.

"Queen."

"Is there anything else, Emperor?"

Emperor Chu didn't turn around, which was disrespectful;

As for the Queen Mother, she didn't even cover up her voice, it was filled with disgust.

"Do you think your son is a good emperor?"

"of course."

"But I don't think so, hehe."

Emperor Chu walked out of the Empress Dowager's bedroom.

"Queen Mother, Your Majesty has left." The female officer stepped forward.

"Snapped!"

The queen mother slapped the female officer's face,

"He...is not the emperor!"

...

Yingdu, the city tower.

The emperor in a dragon robe stood at the highest point, retreating from everything.

Below, there are a group of Fengchao guards for protection.

The city walls are also full of defenders;

In the distance, a cloud of dust appeared, and there were iron riders, sweeping towards them.

Chu Huang put his hands on the railing in front of him,

laughed:

"Look, you were beaten in the face again, last time you could still say that you deliberately borrowed the Yan people's knife to remove the noble carrion from this great Chu;

So,

What about this time?

You, you,

Always think highly of yourself. "

After Chu Huang finished speaking, he waited for a long time.

"Why, you stopped talking? Is it a default? Is your heart lost at all?

It's not like you;

Back then, when you chose to swallow me up, you were so heroic and engulfed the world.

Or, are you too lazy to waste this time with me, wanting to accumulate strength, and then suppress me back?

I do not deny,

You may succeed a few more times,

But your current Great Chu has already broken into pieces, and your royal aura has also been broken. How long can you suppress me?

I can give you a piece of advice,

Go to sleep, just go to sleep, I will live instead of you.

Chu people, don't they call themselves the people of Huofeng? I... will treat them kindly, haha. "

Some distance below the city, the Yan cavalry had already lined up, and the Chu army on the city wall seemed to be approaching a formidable enemy. Obviously, the Yan army had no intention of attacking the city, but the Chu army hurriedly placed all the defense equipment that could be prepared on the city wall. superior.

At this time, in the Yan army's formation, the king's flag was played.

Wang Qi stood up,

The expression of Emperor Chu standing on the high tower suddenly changed.

his hands,

He began to tremble, and his mocking gaze was instantly filled with fear.

"Knife, knife, knife!"

The Emperor Chu yelled these three words. In the dark, he seemed to see a knife cutting towards him, and he screamed pitifully under the knife.

"Ahhh!!!"

The emperor of Chu leaned back;

A group of Fengchao guards hurried up the tower, but immediately heard the emperor's voice:

"Back off."

"Follow the order."

on the tower,

Emperor Chu raised his head again, his hair was already wet with sweat, and his knuckles were already turning white.

"Bastard, do you think that if the state of Chu is broken and my imperial aura is weakened, you will have a chance?

Don't use your brain to think,

If this great Chu is completely dead,

Of course I can't be the emperor,

And you?

Without Da Chu, without Chu people,

in the future,

Who will go to enshrine, no, who will remember the fire phoenix totem?

Without Da Chu,

Do you think there will be you? "

...

under the city wall,

What Zheng Fan didn't expect was that not long after the king's flag was erected on his side, the King of Chu's Jinwu dragon banner was erected on the city wall.

"It's a coincidence, my lord, that uncle of yours is waiting for you here."

Zheng Fan smiled,

waved his hand forward,

Immediately,

A group of Yan army knights rode forward, facing the towering city wall,

shouted in unison:

"The Regent of Dayan is returning to Ning today, please invite the Lord of Chu to prepare a banquet!"

After writing the plot of Gao Yuchao, I feel a little tired, so there will be one update today, and two updates tomorrow, hold everyone tight!
