Romance of Gods

Chapter 95 After crossing the river
Under the orderly transportation of nearly a thousand ships, hundreds of thousands of people arrived at the south bank of the Huai River just after nightfall.

"General Niu!"

"General Zhang!"

"General Dong!"

"The two generals have worked hard."

In front of the water village, the three commanders of the Yue Family Army held each other's hands tightly.

Zhang Xian was naturally overjoyed to reunite with his old friends Niu Gao and Dong Xian.

But now is not the time to reminisce. Crossing the river is only the first step.

30 people will be sent to which state capital; how will their food, clothing, housing and transportation be distributed during their stay in Huai River?

All of this requires a lot of planning.

The three briefly described the situation of the past few days, and without having time to discuss in depth, they each directed the soldiers to resettle the people.

Wang Jun secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Chen Yan was not mentioned in the three people's words.

These days were a busy time, which also gave him some time to breathe, and he wanted to take the opportunity to cover up the matter of asking for merit.

As the commander of the five hundred Beiwei army, Chen Yan was in his position and seeking his duties.

Help people build shacks, distribute food, and maintain order.

Even though I was so busy that I felt dizzy, at least I could relax completely.

With the natural dangers of the Huaihe River lying across it, and the powerful water warfare equipment of the Hengjiang Army, there was no need to worry about the Jin Army being brave enough to attack.

I was busy for two days and two nights.

After the situation stabilized for the time being, Chen Yan became the hands-off manager and left most matters to the leaders of Ji Yuan.

It’s night again, and there are bonfires on the south bank of the Huai River.

The warm firelight made the scarlet color of the night much lighter.

"Grandma! Drink porridge!"

"Good boy."

"Jumping in line! I'm hungry tonight!"

The shouts of people, the sounds of meals, and the scoldings of soldiers merged into a blazing stove fire.

Looking around, in front of more than a dozen porridge shacks, men, women, old and young formed an endless queue.

Tonight's dishes are good, with dried salted fish and pickled waterweed, paired with the bright white porridge, which will satisfy your hunger.

Chen Yan was sitting cross-legged on the ground with dried fish in his mouth, chewing it every now and then.

His eyes slowly passed over the densely packed crowd, his thoughts flowing.

He thought to himself that there was actually no need to worry about the resettlement of these people.

The Huaihe River is rich in aquatic products and fertile land, suitable for farming.

As long as the imperial court can allocate enough grain and rice seeds to help these people survive this difficult period, they will soon be able to settle down.

But the premise is that the Huaihe defense line cannot fall into the hands of the Jin army.

After thinking about it, his eyes narrowed, and a blood-red text prompt appeared.

[Cheng Zi Zhang's "fish eyes mixed with pearls" has ended]

[The current story enters Chapter 3 "Zhuan Zi Zhang": turning things around]

[Although the people who moved south have successfully crossed the Huaihe River, the violent mountain rain still continues.The threat from the Kingdom of Jin has come to an end for the time being, and a more intense test is brewing within Song Ting]

[In a crisis-ridden environment, your personal events will be updated in seven to eight days]

[Start settling Chapter 2 event rewards]

[You have exceeded the Chapter 2 event]

[The completion of chapter events will affect the rating of the ending evaluation]

[You have obtained reward items: "Wuzangshan Sutra·Bamboo Mountain Picture"/"Five Zangshan Sutra·Universal Mountain Picture" (extra reward, choose one), second-level treasury blind box × 1 (perfect reward), Token of righteousness × 1 (basic reward)]

Internal threats, Chen Yan combined his own situation with the current situation.

All he could think of was that the imperial court was still planning to beg for peace.

Who knows, 30 people or the Huaihe River defense line will be used in exchange.

Then the Jin army attacked again, and he continued to lead his troops to fight.

This is just his guess. It will take a few days to find out exactly why.

This time the story was more humane, and personal events did not come one after another, giving myself a few days of buffering time.

Chen Yan shook his hand and chose one-third of the Bamboo Mountain Picture among the excess rewards.

Rubbing the delicate leather fragments with his fingers, he thought of the complete mountain picture.

Maybe I can take these few days of free time and go to Diyang Mountain to have a look.

"Yes."

Before Chen Yan could finish his thoughts, the white light dispersed, and a broken brush appeared in his palm.

[Langhao pen (token)]

You can give Yi Congsu Wuchou as a gift.

"It's okay, Xiao Fenghan, just go back and make some Bupleurum soup and drink it."

"Thank you, Doctor Ou."

Behind Chen Yan was a large tent, a temporary medical center specially built for Ou Zhun by the army.

The husband helped his coughing wife out and walked out. Ou Zhun stood up from behind the case, clenched his fist and knocked on his back.

"Okay, let me see you."

"咴~"

The demon horse was standing quietly in the tent.

Ou Zhun stepped forward and unwrapped the white cloth around its neck, and stared at the recovery of the wound under the herbs.Immediately, he wrapped the white cloth and said outside: "General Chen, please come in. Your horse is recovering well. Please change the dressing every five or six days."

Chen Yan stopped the spinning brush in his hand, put it into his pocket, stood up and walked in, "Thank you, Mr. Ou."

After saying that, he was about to lead the horse away, but Ou Zhun grabbed him and said solemnly: "General, please stay. I have something very important to inform the general."

"Ok?"

……

Tokyo, Forbidden Palace, Daqing Hall.

Tonight the weather is calm and the breeze is pleasant.

A long bright lamp illuminates the busy figures in the hall.

More than a dozen palace attendants were placing bamboo jars containing grasshoppers and crickets in various corners.

Jin Wushu sat on the dragon chair, frowning, rubbing his temples, looking sad.

After living in this palace for a long time, I really miss the life on the grassland. I placed some bugs to add a little fun.

Qi Ming stood in the center of the hall, his head slightly lowered and silent.

Jin Wushu quietly raised one eyelid and stared at him, with mixed feelings in his heart.

Big defeat!Miserable failure!
This time, not only did they lose more than [-] soldiers, they also killed two Jin generals!
This was a counterattack completed by the other side while being restrained by more than [-] people.

Defeat them one by one without leaking anything.

According to the news from the front line, the person who killed these two generals was actually just an unknown person.

Counting all the major and minor battles with the Song Dynasty in the past few decades, this battle can be called a great shame and humiliation.

When the news reached the country, it immediately caused an uproar.

How to deal with Qi Ming?
Behead the public to appease the anger of the government and the opposition?
But this man had just made an unparalleled achievement.

Although this defeat was tragic, if he was easily beheaded, would anyone give him advice in the future?
Jin Wushu sighed, waved his hand, and said in a deep voice: "There is no need for the Imperial Master to blame himself. The failure of this battle is the fault of this king. You..."

"Hahahaha!"

Below, Qi Ming suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.

He smiled freely and without any shame.

When Jin Wushu saw this, he felt as disgusted as if he had eaten a fly. He shouted coldly: "Why are the imperial masters laughing!"

"Your Highness, please calm down. I just thought of something happy." Qi Ming bowed his hands and said, "This battle may seem like a complete defeat for our army, but in fact, our army has three victories."

"Oh?" Jin Wushu was startled, "Which three wins?"

Qi Ming walked slowly with a smile on his face, "When our soldiers are defeated in this situation, they are as angry as the waves. They must realize their shame and then be brave. In the future, they will be even more courageous in killing the enemy, and there will be no disadvantage. This is a victory;
Although Zhao and Song took 30 people captive, our two countries had been at war for many years, which consumed huge amounts of national power.Housing these people will cost countless money and food.One is declining and the other is growing, these are two wins;

Because the Song Dynasty withdrew its troops and negotiated peace, the war and peace factions of the Song Dynasty were already in the same situation.This war is just adding fuel to the fire, and I wonder how many people will take advantage of it.The fight between his cronies will be unprecedentedly fierce.And I, the king and his ministers, are united, and these are the three victories.

Therefore, with these three victories, the ministers laughed loudly to congratulate His Highness. It will not be long before Li goes south to annex Zhao and Song Dynasties and unify the world. "

"National Master, you...um..."

Jin Wushu closed his eyes and pinched his forehead, not knowing what to say.

Seeing this, Qi Ming took a few steps forward and said, "Your Highness, please give me another chance to destroy the powerful enemy."

Jin Wu's words were slightly teasing, "How many people do you want this time?"

Qi Ming shook his head, "This time, I can do it alone."

"one person?"

Jin Wushu became interested.

"To be honest with you, Your Majesty, when I was traveling in the Jianghu, I deliberately made friends with the scholars of the Song Dynasty in order to seek a future. Decades have passed, and most of these people have already occupied high positions in the Song Dynasty.

Previously, Wei Chen ordered Yue Fei and other troops to retreat. On the surface, he was relying on the practice of opening a forum, but in fact, he secretly communicated with these friends.

This time, Wei Chen planned to break through the Song court, use these friends to criticize Zhongliang, and let Zhao Song destroy his weapon.The first target is Yue Fei! "

When Jin Wushu heard Qi Ming's words, he suddenly felt great fear. This man's ability to calculate and plan was terrifying.

Fortunately, this person was serving in his own camp.

If he were in the Song Court and worked together with generals such as Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, the Kingdom of Jin would probably have been destroyed by them long ago.

He was silent for a moment before speaking, "Yue Fei is a rare handsome man in this world. He is the mainstay of the Song Army. I'm afraid Zhao Song will not destroy the Great Wall."

Qi Ming chuckled, "If you destroy a Great Wall, don't you just give them another one?"

"What does the national teacher mean?"

"What do you think of the young Song general who killed the two generals Han Chang and Tu Hesu one after another and almost single-handedly reversed the outcome?"

Jin Wushu's eyes suddenly became round and bright as the sun, "I wish I could eat his flesh and sleep on his skin! But... I have to admit that this son was born out of nowhere. I don't think there is anyone in the Song and Jin dynasties. A man is so brave. If he changes his family and comes to join me, I am willing to put aside the past grudges and worship him as my commander!"

"His Highness has a big heart and a deep love for talents, which really makes me admire him." Qi Ming bowed, "Wei Chen is planning to use him to make a fuss. Although Yue Fei and others are loyal and brave, Zhao Gou has been the emperor for many years, and his ambitions are far from Can it be compared during the Jingkang period?

As an emperor, how could he be willing to leave his domestic military and political power to others?This young general is just starting out and is suitable for him to train as his confidant.Wei Chen will send an express letter to ask those friends to persuade Zhao Gou to remove and frame the generals of the Song Dynasty, and take the opportunity to promote this son to the throne. "

Jin Wushu secretly calculated that this method was feasible, "But this person is from the Yue family army. He is afraid that Yue Fei will be in trouble, so he will not let Zhao Gou control him."

"Your Highness, isn't this just right? When Zhao Gou killed Yue Fei and others, and the newly promoted generals were unwilling to obey his command, and the Song Dynasty was in chaos, it was a good time for our army to send our troops south! Why worry about them!"

Jin Wushu was stunned for a moment. He was about to laugh, but felt it was inappropriate, "What if they, the emperor and his ministers, are of the same mind?"

Qi Ming thought to himself, that person is a god actor, how long can he stay here.

I'm afraid that this person didn't know that he had become a pawn in his hands until he left this romance world. This can be regarded as the price for ruining his plan.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I have my own countermeasures."

Jin Wushu was unknowingly persuaded again, and waved his hand and said: "I am very pleased that the Imperial Master has exhausted all his plans. Just go ahead and do it. Whether you want money or people, just ask."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Qi Ming bowed deeply.

"Wei Chen still has something to report."

"speak!"

"The matter discussed just now is confidential. To prevent leaks, we should stay away from everyone, but..."

Upon hearing this, Jin Wushu swept away the palace servants who were busy in the palace and said lightly, "Kill them all."

It was late at night, and the crickets were screaming loudly.
