Devil’s Advent

It's a pleasure,

This is a kind of happiness,

It's an indulgence,

In the battle between Yan and Chu, Da Chu lost;

Argue as much as you want,

The capital of the country was burned, Zhennanguan was surrendered, Shanggu County was cut off, and the Yan army ravaged and plundered your land. It is said that Pingxihou also created the official position of Mojin Xiaowei.

No matter how you calculate it, you lost, and the loss was ugly.

but,

to be honest,

Da Chu up and down,

Really, no one dared to accuse him of being unfavorable for leading the army in battle;

Even the generals of the Yan Kingdom with their eyes above the top would not laugh at him, Nian Yao, as a coward.

Because of the opponent he faced,

It's Tian Wujing.

A king of Jingnan who assembled Yan and Jin, countless peasants, countless resources, piled up and even overdrawn the national power, and assembled more than half of Yan's iron cavalry.

That's it,

The situation was opened only by the raid of the navy that broke the embankment;

That's it,

Nian Yao still safely withdrew hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops of the Chu royal family from Zhennan Pass.

Sometimes, whether a general is good or not needs to be set off;

For example, some generals wiped out countless peasant army rebellions for most of their lives, but the reputation of military exploits is really mixed with too much water;

Its level is actually like the gap between the Jinshi of Dayan and the Jinshi of Qianguo. They both seem to be Jinshi, but in terms of context, the gap is really visible to the naked eye.

As for Nian Yao, he was the only opponent who could win a decent face against King Jingnan in these years, and that was enough to be proud of.

The chess game with Tian Wujing made the elderly very depressed, and this depression lasted for a whole year.

But he just couldn't tell, roar, and roar to others:

Do you know how I got here this year!

He had to smash his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

Now,

He elated,

He was finally released.

General Nian is very grateful to Ganren, being Ganren, which gave him the confidence to be a commander again, and also allowed him to find the long-lost happiness.

"Hah..."

Boots, stepping on bloody puddles.

Not unintentionally, but on purpose.

Because it didn't take much effort to win this Minzhou city.

Half of the defenders simply abandoned the city and fled, and most of the rest chose to surrender;

so,

General Nian wanted to get the soles of his boots wet, so he really had to look carefully for blood puddles.

After the Chu army captured the city, they did not burn, kill and loot on a large scale, which was due to the rigorous management of the army by General Nian;

Not only that, even those Shanyue Hundred Clans who were conscripted to help the war did not go to plunder, because those Chu soldiers reminded them with a fierce murderous look, who is in charge here.

A group of clan elders knelt down in front of General Nian.

General Nian was not in a hurry to wake them up, although the king meant that in the future, Shanyue people would also be from Chu, but it was still difficult for General Nian to regard them as human beings.

Fortunately,

General Nian was born as a domestic slave,

he,

Will pretend.

"It's yours. After all, it's yours. This general knows that your sons and daughters are already holding back, but now, you have to let them continue to hold back.

Do you see the clouds in the west?

There,

There is a richer city than Minzhou City,

Has a denser population than Minzhou City,

It has greater military exploits than Minzhou City.

You are also clear about the king's will, and you are also clear about the general's intentions.

follow this general,

continue west,

Keep up the feats,

Yourselves, you can enter the court as officials, and your descendants can serve as generals in the general's army.

The nobles who conquered you are now rotten to moths;

Next,

will be your time.

west,

Take more land, more gold and silver, more people, more... glory to the weak! "

"Die for the king!"

"Die for the king!"

"Die for the general!"

"Die for the general!"

...

The Chu army's offensive was extremely swift and violent.

At the same time, it also shows that Ganren's defense in the southeast direction is really weak.

The fall of military strongholds and fortresses is actually secondary, because it is difficult for you to defend such places when the general situation is not in your favor.

What really kills is,

In the next month or so, military towns like Minzhou City fell four more in succession.

in the end,

Nian Yao's army even broke through the county town of Nanyuan County in Qian State.

The fall of a military town means the collapse of the entire defense system originally built on the military town, and the fall of a county town means the collapse of the defense system of a county.

Local military villages, county towns, or soldiers and rebels, even if they want to do something, they will face a situation without a leader. What awaits them will be to be swept away by the autumn wind very simply.

the whole war,

After Nanyuan County City was captured, it stopped.

It's not that the young general is satisfied,

But his vanguard army fought too fast, the central army was too scattered, and the rear army could no longer catch up.

Yes,

The speed of siege has exceeded the speed of marching in the traditional sense.

This is unbelievable,

But in Qianren, any unthinkable things seem to be taken for granted.

If,

Ganren wants to trade space for fighter jets,

That must have been a success.

Because if a main force of Qianren suddenly rushed in at this time, it would encircle the vanguard army where General Nian was located.

Whether it is to eat it directly or gather around to fight for aid, it can be very calm. After all, if you lose the land, you will lose the land; if you lose the land, you will gain the land.

At this time, the Chu army had violated the taboo of military strategists, and it could be said that they completely spread their fists.

If the Chu army was facing the Yan army at this time, without King Jingnan's horse, or even Liang Cheng's move, Zheng Houye himself could decisively order the cavalry to split the battlefield to cut the battlefield, and smash the offending Chu army in the future.

But the problem is,

General Nian is now facing a dry army.

When dealing with unequal opponents, sometimes you are too serious, that is, the kind of "lion fights the rabbit with all your strength", but it will have the opposite effect, for example, it will delay the fighter.

Facts have proved that General Nian's approach is extremely correct.

After the Qian army captured the city of Nanyuan County for a period of time and received a response from the follow-up soldiers and horses, only two groups of soldiers and horses came to the Qian army. They were stuck on the southwest and northwest sides of Nanyuan County City respectively, presenting a pincer state.

After receiving this message from Sentinel,

General Nian laughed twice,

He knew that the two cadres who came from the west did not merge because they were waiting for the specific summit to follow;

The reason why they didn't attack right away was because they were soldiers and horses dispatched from the two counties next door, and they didn't dare to advance aggressively, nor were they willing to advance aggressively, so they chose the safest and most negative way to deal with it.

In this case,

When playing against Yan Jun, it is impossible to appear!

That Marquis of Pingxi of the Yan Kingdom, led his lone army to go deep and burned Jingcheng. He had already made great military exploits, but he still went into danger and went into the capital of Great Chu with his lone army. What an aggressive gesture!

Therefore, General Nian was very at ease in his heart. This kind of at ease was not far from the time when he grabbed those princes like chickens one by one.

Strategizing, seeing the fire clearly,

The itch of being a general is actually here.

Because of this, General Nian ordered the follow-up troops to arrive according to the time,

At the same time, he ordered the Chu army under his command who had experienced a long-distance raid in the city to take a generous rest,

in addition,

He ordered his soldiers to boil hot water for him,

His young general wants to take a bath!

...

dry country,

Go to Beijing.

Mr. Xun Dao went down the mountain, became an official, was canonized as a patrol envoy, and went to the southwest.

All of this is in line with the rules, because Mr. Xun Dao was born in Tanhua, and he was originally a member of the scholar-bureaucrat class. He has a feeling that even the "fairies" in the sky have come down to assist him because the "mandate of heaven" belongs to the official family.

Furthermore,

Luo Mingda is not the only one who knows Li Xundao's true identity.

The descendants of the stabbing face can be reused and patrol the Southwest again, which makes people feel very convincing in terms of emotion, reason and even "picture of auspiciousness";

The most important thing is that the patrol envoy is not a high-ranking official. It is even an errand, similar to an imperial envoy, patrolling the security for the emperor. Therefore, this position has been taken care of by this state official in recent years. There is no objection to the court.

Although everyone knows that the role of this errand can be large or small, it all depends on the trust of the officials. Since the officials let him go to the southwest, they will definitely give him the greatest power, but as long as he can really let the already The gradually eroding situation in the Southwest has calmed down. Based on this credit, it is understandable to increase officials to be promoted to full-time positions.

On the day Mr. Xundao left Beijing,

Not only did 3,000 imperial troops go together,

Most of the people in the upper capital also lined the road to see them off.

The common people don't know that Mr. Xun Dao is the orphan of the assassin, and they don't know what the official title of the patrol envoy is. They are here to see the "immortals" who came down from Houhai.

so,

On both sides of the road for the team to leave the city, incense tables and candles were placed, and many devout people in Beijing had already made all preparations, just to admire the "fairy" Tianyan.

This ostentation is even bigger than waiting for the officials to go on tour.

...

Li Xundao is no longer dressed in white, but a red official uniform. The back mountain is the back mountain, and the officialdom is the officialdom. It is natural for one place to abide by the rules of one place.

It's just that, even though he is wearing an official uniform, he still doesn't give people a calm and sophisticated image in the traditional sense, and still looks elegant and out of the world.

It is not easy to wear official uniforms with an atmosphere that does not eat human fireworks, and stand out from the category of "clothes and beasts".

Outside, the forbidden army is ready, and the leader is a newly appointed Zhonglang General surnamed Wang. He will lead his troops to escort the Patrol Envoy into the southwest, and he will obey his orders when he arrives.

There was a decree from the palace just now, saying that the official family would come out of the palace to see them off in person, which can be said to have given them enough courtesy.

In fact, this was an extra measure. After Li Xundao entered the Southwest, the civil and military officials from all over the Southwest would also weigh in their hearts how to arrange the position of the security envoy.

It's about time,

General Wang is going to report,

When he walked halfway, he heard footsteps coming from behind. Looking back, he saw that the visitor was wearing a sword at his waist. His figure was a little thin, but his gaze was as cold as ice.

then,

Once someone in white clothes entered Shangjing by boat, and the officials greeted him personally, causing a sensation in the whole city;

"I've seen..."

General Wang was about to salute, because the man in front of him also had the official position of the prince's martial artist.

But Bailijian waved his hand directly, his figure passed by General Wang's side, and entered the room.

General Wang hesitated for a moment, but decided to report later.

...

"It's such a big scene in the city, and you don't shy away from it at all."

Bailijian looked at Li Xundao who was standing in the room and said with a smile.

"I heard that you went to the South China Sea, I thought you would never come back."

"How can it be, my Baili family has always kept promises."

"Have you been back long ago?"

"Yes, I've been back a long time ago, but I planned to go to the door for an appointment when I was thirty."

Li Xundao smiled when he heard this, and said, "It's really honest."

"The official will come out to see you off later."

"I know."

"The scene is too big, no good, I was originally a swordsman, to put it bluntly, I entered the temple from the Jianghu, and after going around, everyone knows that I am still in the Jianghu after all.

You enter the court hall from the back mountain, and if you want to go out again, it will be difficult, and it is basically impossible to get out.

Such a big scene will plant the seeds of disaster.

as,

When the thorn-faced Prime Minister entered Beijing after he settled the Southwest, the common people cheered and greeted him in the same way;

In the end? "

"What the people want to see is a god. The reason why a god is a god is because the people can't see it. When they see it, when they keep hearing about what he did, the god is no longer a god. .

Just make it lively this time, next time, it doesn't matter.

Besides, the practice in Houshan, the so-called refining qi, is nothing more than cultivating oneself and competing with the sky, even though there are thousands of people, I will go there. "

"This sounds a little harsh."

Bailijian reached out and touched his earlobe.

He and his younger sister were very close to killing Ping Xihou who was still on guard at that time.

It's just that there was an accident in the middle, and the cavalry of the Yan army rushed out.

He and his sister chose not to strike a sword, turned around and returned to the city immediately.

this thing,

became an indelible stain;

Especially later, after the record of cutting thousands of riders and taking the head of a savage general in front of Xueguan, the Sword Saint of Jin, appeared,

The blemish of the Baili brothers and sisters was highlighted even more.

Next,

As Zheng Fan continued to climb the ranks, from the garrison to the general to the chief soldier, from the new young general to the four young generation famous generals to the other three, he could no longer be tied with him.

I couldn't make up my mind to kill him.

The extent of the loss in this transaction,

is also continuously enlarged,

nowadays,

That one is even a marquis.

Yan people, military meritorious marquis.

"The lotus pond in the back mountain is a little muddy, I have to use your sword energy to clean it up." Li Xundao said.

"Okay." Bailijian agreed.

Li Xundao turned around, walked up to Bailijian, looked at Bailijian, and said seriously:

"Everyone has everyone's choice. You can hear that everyone has everyone's destiny. This, this is the destiny I seek."

"I can go with you. After I go to clean up the lotus pond in the back mountain first, I will go to the southwest to find you."

"I'm not that Marquis of Pingxi from the Yan Kingdom, and I'm not qualified to be escorted by a sword master."

"I have to do something, otherwise, I always feel that I have been left behind too much." Bailijian said.

"It seems that this trip to the South China Sea has gained a lot?"

"Nothing."

"Let it go, empty-handed, but it's actually a harvest."

"These words should be said to those chieftains in the southwest, they will probably be confused by your words."

Speaking of which,

Bailijian yawned,

road:

"After seeing some real scenery, you will find that what you have before is really not worth mentioning, and you will gain nothing."

"hehe."

Li Xundao pushed open the door,

"I gotta go."

"Bon Voyage."

"Barry."

"Um?"

"If you were given another chance, would you have used that sword against that Zheng in the suburbs of Shangjing back then?"

Even if, he will face the siege of Yan Guo's iron cavalry next.

Bailijian shrugged,

road:

"Live, isn't it good?"

Li Xundao asked again: "One hundred years is already a long life, but a long sleep can last thousands of years. So, what do you think people live for?"

"What do you say?"

Li Xundao smiled and replied:

"People live to find a suitable way to die for themselves."

Bailijian licked his lips, and said, "I thought that what you qi practitioners should say is to ask for a long life through enlightenment."

Li Xundao waved his sleeves,

walk out freely,

walk side by side;

"Master told me before going to Yanjing that if you live too long, it won't be interesting."

...

The ceremonies sounded,

The people lined the road to see off,

Bursts of solemn white mist rose from the incense table.

Today's Shangjing City is not like sending off an imperial envoy who is about to go to the borderlands, but more like sending off a god statue.

The people cheered piously and kowtowed piously;

They don't know that what they are doing now is actually stabbing him with the knife for the object they are worshiping in the future.

The officials led a group of civil and military officials to send them off in person, with full courtesy.

A set of procedures is completed,

complicated,

grand,

Solemn,

finally,

Li Xundao, his entourage and 3000 imperial troops went out from the west gate to Beijing.

A lot of people still go out of the city to follow, wanting to see the fairy-eyed fairy a few more times.

All the officials seemed to have finished today's tedious tasks and took a breath. Some were sneering, some were shaking their heads, and some were in a trance. It seemed that they were lamenting fate, and seemed to have really seen some kind of reincarnation.

There is also a censor who has already prepared the paperwork he wrote last night and is preparing to sue the imperial court. He is dignified, how can he be confused by "emptiness" in the land of Wenhua, and I will do it. , and then repeat the prosperity of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, how can we not ask the common people and ask the ghosts and gods?

Fortunately, the Silver Armored Guards, who had known in advance, suppressed those censors, and before they could shout out, they were taken down by Yi Junqian in disrespect.

In today's atmosphere, the officials are a little tired, and they don't bother to take care of these loud flies.

certainly,

This is also because after expelling those elders of the older generation from the court, the power of this official has grown day by day, and there is no need to excessively pursue the good reputation of self-indulgence.

The official family was sitting in the Luanjia, and had just taken off their dragon robes. Inside, there was a charcoal fire.

Someone outside reported that Bailijian asked to see him.

"Let him in."

Bailijian came in.

The official pointed to the position beside him,

"sit."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The eunuch serves tea,

Luanjia began to return to the palace.

The official picked up the teacup,

This is a kind of etiquette. Before talking about something, let's brew it first.

a long time,

The official said: "Yu Ciming lost the bet and was moved to Yanjing to be his Prince Jin; Situ Lei lost the bet and became the Prince Ding in Dacheng Kingdom;

Don't look at Yan Guo who has been winning all the time, he is actually betting all the time;

They are all betting,

Because they can't afford to lose,

only me,

Can afford to lose.

Find the way to go to the southwest, the matter in the southwest should be settled, and then..."

Outside Luanjia, suddenly came:

"Report! Eight hundred miles, hurry up!"

The official frowned slightly and said;

"Xuan."

soon,

A messenger soldier entered Luanjia and knelt down:

"Nian Yao, the general of the Chu State, led his army to invade the southeast of me, and the city of Minzhou has been destroyed!"

The official put down the teacup in his hand.

Bailijian opened his mouth and said;

"Official, why don't I chase Xun Dao back now?"
