Devil’s Advent

Chapter 739

The situation on the battlefield outside the village once again showed a one-sided situation;

It's just that this time it's for people who are loyal to Qu Peiluo.

The addition of the Yan Army cavalry directly had an obvious catalytic effect, but Liang Cheng actually did not choose to put the cavalry under his command on the battlefield. Following the orderly rhythm, they directly suppressed the Chu army formation that was about to come in over there.

The Chu army's formation is about to change. Under the same number, the infantry will fight the cavalry, and they will still be facing the world's first-class elite cavalry, unless the opponent's leader is out of his mind...

No, even if the opponent's brain is flooded, it is difficult to win.

For example, Li Fusheng liked to take the lead when he was in a big battle, leading the trapped camp to charge, but all the ministries under his command still played in an orderly manner. When the quality improved to a certain level, it was really worry-free to be handsome and general.

The Chu army changed from the rear to the front, and from the front to the rear, and immediately began to withdraw from the battlefield.

Very realistic, direct, and decisive.

Liang Cheng's cavalry, on the other hand, kept a fixed distance and "followed each other's steps" like seeing off old friends.

If the opponent's speed is slow, it will be a round of riding and shooting to urge to express the enthusiasm of "retaining".

Outside the army stronghold, a large group of mobs divided into two mobs to fight. Previously, when reinforcements came from one side, the other side was immediately discouraged, but now, the Yan army came, and the discouraged side immediately overwhelmed them back.

Strictly speaking, the Yan Army, who beat the Chu people and burned the Chu people's capital just a year ago in front of Zhennan Pass, is indeed not a little stronger than the Chu Army in terms of adding momentum to the friendly army.

It didn't take long for the fight outside the army village to decide the winner. At the same time, he had enough energy to enter the army village. Qu Peiluo was able to gradually grasp the situation, and after a fierce battle, he beheaded the "" rebellion".

at last,

Qu Peiluo, covered in blood, brought the man's head to the wall of the village.

towards the princess,

Kneel down.

In this scene, it seems that the prince just killed the dragon in a bloody battle, and came back to ask the princess... for praise.

"General Qu has worked hard."

the princess spoke.

"It's not hard to kill enemies for the princess." Qu Peiluo wiped away the blood stains on his face, his smile bloomed, showing his white teeth.

The princess didn't speak any more, she came here, and her husband agreed with her to come and play, but there was really no need to show too much enthusiasm for Qu Peiluo.

A Qu Peiluo is incomparable to the tenderness of her husband's one-finger length towards him.

Gou Moli opened his mouth and said to the following:

"General Qu, clean up here, don't let the smell of blood disturb our wife."

"Yes, I will understand in the end!"

The military stronghold that had just been slaughtered immediately began to clean up, and the wounded were placed outside the stronghold;

But there was no resentment on the faces of the wounded, and when the exhausted soldiers picked up brooms and basins to clean them, they didn't show any dissatisfaction.

They are serving the princess willingly.

To a certain extent, they have already made their own choice today, and this choice can bring them great protection in terms of legal and practical support.

As a result, the image of the princess has been further elevated.

When the princess walked down the wall of the village surrounded by the crowd, the people in the surrounding village bowed down to salute very obediently. It can be said that they were devout, without being coerced in the slightest, and came from the heart.

When he first led the army in the early years, King Jingnan once taught Zheng Fan that treating soldiers like sons would bring him success, which is just a kind of literati's assumption.

And when the princess returned to the house,

She couldn't help but ask Gou Moli:

"Mr. Gou, I have a puzzle."

"Madam, please."

"Those people outside are in awe of me, it doesn't seem like a fake, but I didn't ask for my health, and I even despised the blood they left on the ground."

"Ma'am, there are some people in this world, the more you treat them like animals, the more they regard you as a god."

The princess seems to understand but not understand.

"The more honorable you are and the higher you are, the more their expectations will come true and their future will be guaranteed."

"Go on, talk to me, don't hide it."

"Yes, the more arrogant and elegant you are, it proves that the higher your position in the Marquis Mansion is, the more the Lord, the whole Marquis Mansion, and even Dayan, value you more.

On the contrary, you will pay more attention to them.

In fact, they have abandoned the national character of the Chu people and their ancestral family business. No matter in terms of body or spirit, they are already dogs who have left home.

The wealthier the new owner's family,

them,

The more open-faced. "

The art of controlling the subordinates, the savage king, has done it to the extreme.

"That said, I understand."

"Madam is smart, but there are some things that can only be understood after working hard at the bottom."

"You mean, I'm from a noble family, so I can't see through things?"

"If you haven't experienced it, you can't empathize with it. Since you can't empathize with it, you can't empathize with it;

Furthermore,

You have the protection of the master, so you don't need to experience these things. If you want to ask, the subordinates will answer. "

"Yes, Mr. Gou has suffered, it's not easy."

"Mrs. Xie is considerate, but my subordinates have come to the end of their hardships."

"That's good."

Gou Moli bowed slightly,

road:

"Madam rest here first, and this subordinate will bestow grace on your behalf."

"Mr. Laugo is here."

"The subordinates are terrified."

Gou Moli took out sandalwood from his bosom, lit it, and at the same time, said to the two maidservants who served the princess all the way:

"Sprinkle morning lotion in the corners of the room."

"yes."

After giving these orders, Gou Moli left the room.

At this time, the herbs, goods, wine and meat escorted by the Fan family also arrived when the war subsided here.

The eyes of the people who had just finished the fight saw these things enter the village, their eyes were full of luster.

In fact, these things have already arrived, but they have been waiting on the periphery.

Because you have to drive away the wild dogs before you can feed your own dogs;

And when the dog is hungry, it tastes better when he gnaws on the bones;

"These are all given to you by the princess."

"Thank you princess."

"The princess is a thousand years old."

Everyone cheered, and the previous exhaustion was almost swept away.

Qu Peiluo walked over at this moment, saluted Gou Moli, and said:

"Do you need me to bring someone to help outside?"

"No, there will be no problem."

Liang Cheng led the army himself, how could he capsize in this gutter?

In fact, it is true.

The cavalry led by Liang Cheng followed the Chu army all the time, urging the Chu army to retreat quickly. This was no longer a simple question of whether the Chu people were afraid of the Yan people. Can't fight.

The Chu general on the opposite side is also experienced. He tried to find the hillside or the river several times to try to rely on the formation, but the general of the Yan army on the opposite side could often predict in advance and forcibly drive away his army formation.

After the two sides tested each other a few times, General Chu found helplessly that the quality of the Yan army on the opposite side was beyond imagination.

If you encounter an ordinary cavalry, it is no problem to forcibly form an formation, retreat while fighting, move while fighting, or simply stand here and wait for friendly support;

But General Chu knew that in the face of such an elite cavalry, any of his formations would be futile, and all he could do was try to cause more damage to the opponent.

In addition, almost everyone on the opposite side of the Yan army has two horses, and they will be divided into echelons and levels when chasing, which is equivalent to driving in shifts. It has been kept in an excellent pre-war state. This is entirely because the herdsmen are herding sheep and singing folk songs in their hearts.

Bullying,

Bullying people...

At this time, a flag-bearer appeared in the Yan army's formation and rushed towards the Chu army's formation.

"Press!"

General Chu immediately ordered the crossbowmen in the army to press down and prohibit shooting.

"Listen, General Chu on the opposite side. My general has said that, as a gift from the nobles of the Chu Kingdom, I can accept you to admit defeat by throwing the flag."

Great Chu used to be a country with a prosperous aristocratic system. The etiquette of fighting between nobles was very complicated, but the essential idea was:

We are nobles, and our lives are precious.

The most classic is that the two armies are at war, and after the nobles are captured, they have to eat and drink as offerings, and they can be exchanged for ransom, but they must not be killed.

Throwing the flag and conceding defeat means that when two armies confront each other, one side feels that there is no hope of winning, so it will hand over its own flag to the other side. If the other side is willing to accept it, they will let them withdraw without pursuing.

General Chu hesitated, because it was obvious that the aristocratic system in Great Chu had collapsed since the Great Chu Kingdom was burned by Yan Ren Nan Wang, and Yan Ren Ping Xihou dug countless noble family graves.

There are some things that even Chu people themselves don’t believe, let alone Yan people?

But the general of Chu finally agreed. He could only guess that the general of the Yan army on the opposite side, like himself, was unwilling to trigger a new round of national war between Yan and Chu.

A hundred commanders were selected from the Chu army and handed over the flag.

Later, the centurion came back to spread the word, saying that the Yan people had one more request, which was to let him give up the two small military strongholds nearby.

General Chu agreed and sent someone to inform;

Subsequently,

The tense atmosphere finally eased.

The Yan army stopped the chasing game, and the Chu people began to retreat more relaxedly.

Eventually, the two sides disengaged.

After Liang Cheng saw that it was almost the same, he left a team of sentry cavalry to monitor, and then led the main force back.

In the past, he accompanied the Lord several times to the south with a small force to conquer the country, which can be described as a model of "the following defeats the superior";

Start a war, if you don't fight, you have to fight, so hurry up and fight for grandpa!

Because at that time, the owner of the family was just a small garrison, and he needed to use his military exploits to get promoted. What kind of overall situation and state affairs were left to his mother's side.

Now, it's different. It's only been a year since the development of the land of Eastern Jin. The war reserves, the quality of the army, and even the overall refit have not been completed. It's really a big fight and it's not worthwhile.

At the same time, the transition of imperial power in the capital of Yan State was not completed.

The status is different, the identity is different, and the needs are naturally different.

After turning back, Liang Cheng led his army back to Qu Peiluo's army stronghold.

After cleaning himself, Qu Peiluo originally wanted to go to see the princess again, but was called over by Liang Cheng who brought his troops back.

Starting from Fan City, the area to the south includes a small half of the former Qu Clan's sphere of influence. Nowadays, it is best to fight and compete with soldiers and horses dominated by "Chu people".

After Qu Peiluo showed his ability, the decision of the Hou Mansion, in fact, was the decision discussed by the blind man who stayed behind and Liang Cheng, to let Qu Peiluo continue to develop.

First, it can continue to open up the buffer zone for the Fan family. If there is a war between Yan and Chu in the future, as long as the Fan family is not wiped out all at once, they can help the Yan army open up a second battlefield in the Mengshan area except Zhennanguan;

The second is that the Fan family used to be the Qu family's slaves after all. The slaves betrayed their masters and became the new masters. When Qu Peiluo became powerful, he was able to check and balance the Fan family.

The way of checks and balances has never been used on one's own family. It is used well and complacent, but it is actually internal friction within one's own family. The correct usage should be "controlling barbarians with barbarians".

In the sight of the Hou Mansion, the Fan family and Qu Peiluo are both "barbarians".

After mentioning a few words to Qu Peiluo, and instructing him on the villages and towns that need to be captured and the strongholds that need to be established, and at the same time, after pointing out the trajectory of the next development of power, Liang Cheng went to see the princess.

At this time, Qu Peiluo was naturally not easy to follow.

The princess met Liang Cheng. Some people seem to be domestic slaves, but you really can't treat them as domestic slaves.

Even as a woman of Lord Pingxi, the princess can clearly perceive that there are some people in this mansion whose status is actually higher than her own.

"See madam."

"General Liang has worked hard."

"Not hard."

Then, there was silence.

After the silence, when the princess was about to say something to ease the embarrassment of the silence, Liang Cheng cupped his hands:

"I will retire at the end."

"..." Xiong Liqing.

Come and meet the princess,

Just come and meet.

As a zombie, he has been learning by the Lord's side for the past two years, learning to communicate, learning not to be so cold, in fact, he has made great progress.

But only with the Lord, the Demon King, and some people he admired, such as Section Chief Yu of the Hou Mansion's Security Section.

For the rest, he was too lazy to be enthusiastic.

Before setting off, the blind man told him to take better care of the princess, no matter what, she is the Lord's woman.

Liang Cheng did so.

Come to "See Ma'am" every day,

Then "retire at the end".

Fortunately,

Xiong Liqing is also used to it,

She also knew that she didn't do it on purpose, she just simply... didn't want to talk to her, um, yes.

the next morning,

The princess' carriage returned to Fan City under the guard of the army.

Fanfu,

No,

The whole Fancheng was beaming with joy.

This kind of joy has far surpassed the victory in the south.

After entering Fan's mansion, Liu Ruqing hurried over to greet her.

While holding Liu Ruqing's hand, the princess looked at Gou Moli who walked in.

"What's the matter?" asked the princess, "it's such a joy to see them all over the city."

Gou Moli betrayed a trick,

road:

"Ma'am, you can guess."

To Zheng Fan, Gou Moli would not speak like this, because the master would immediately reply: speak human words directly.

But for others, Gou Moli knows that most of the superiors like to behave in front of their subordinates.

At this time,

The maid of the Fan family came up to serve tea.

The princess took the tea, gently stroked the tea noodles with the teacup lid,

road;

"Yanjing City, is there any news?"

"Madam is wise."

"Emperor Yan passed away, and the sixth prince will succeed him?"

"The subordinates admire."

"Hehehe."

The princess looked at Gou Moli and laughed.

The news of Yanjing was passed to the Fan family, Fan City.

Earlier, Fan Zhengwen, with the tyrannical decision of the head of the Fan family, forcibly pulled the Fan family with a century-old heritage, and boarded the Yan people's boat without hesitation.

Regarding this, the whole Fan family actually complained quite a lot.

What's wrong with being a slave, being a dog? Isn't it delicious to eat in peace and prosperity?

Even now, with the establishment of the Fan family and the construction of the city, below, like those great nobles in Chu State, they have their own private soldiers of the Fan family.

But the problem is, it is obvious that they are at the point of contention between Yan and Chu. When there is another national war, the Fan family will be the first to be affected.

it's good now.

My mistress was the aunt of Emperor Dayan at that time.

His young master is the cousin of Emperor Dayan at that time.

Those who complained earlier had to admire Fan Zhengwen's foresight.

Thanks to the extermination of the Min family by the first emperor of Yan, the current Fan family has instead become the first relative of the new emperor.

Chickens and dogs have ascended to heaven, chickens and dogs have ascended to heaven!

This happiness has fallen steadily, how can we not celebrate, how can we not be encouraged?

People who know the basics of Dayan know that it is an extremely exhausted beast now, but from outsiders, it is still extremely fierce and powerful.

"Mr. Gou, what should we do next?" Xiong Liqing asked, "I think, there are some things that Mr. Bei should have expected, right?"

"Madam Mingjian, you should know it well."

"There are some numbers, but I don't know if they are right."

"What Madam says is what she says, and there is nothing wrong with it."

Liu Ruqing was listening by the side, smiling slightly, she was just a vase, and she didn't want to get rid of the fate of being a vase in the past, but wanted to make a...more delicate vase that the man would like.

In this point, she and the princess are different. Of course, this does not mean that Liu Ruqing is not smart.

"In the early years, when raising my own monster, I knew that raising a monster should not just be good to it. It must be beaten a few times from time to time, so that it can clear its mind and remember who is its real master."

talking,

The princess looked at Liu Ruqing and said:

"Sister, do you think it's right?"

"What my sister means is that we want to beat the Fan family at this time to wake up the Fan family. Who is really keeping it?"

"Yes, that's what it means."

"But, what excuse should we look for to beat the Fan family?" Liu Ruqing asked doubtfully.

The whole Fan family was extremely polite and considerate to their group.

"Well...it's easy to handle."

Xiong Liqing sat up straight,

keep your head down,

Looking at the teacup that he held in his hand and talked for a long time, he lifted it up and took a sip,

Then he frowned and said:
