The devil is coming

Chapter 1010 I’m here!
three sides,
Under the great banner of Emperor Dayan,
The emperor sat on the imperial chariot and looked 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.
Standing next to 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, which lasted for more than half a year, came to an end, he was transferred to Yinlang County by the emperor's decree, and then returned to Yinlang County. 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 the Qian Kingdom have always been a very ambiguous existence;
The Gan people know that their three sides are strong, and the Yan people also know it. Therefore, although the Yan people have shouted slogans many times to break up the three sides, they have only shouted 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, and to involve others in 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.
It's not a feint, let alone a pretense. It's really costing you a lot to chew on this rammed earth wall!
Then, it did prove that it was difficult to attack the three sides. This was still one of the main cities, and even after repelling other reinforcements, there was still no hope of conquering it in a short time.
"Hsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss..."
The emperor witnessed the anxiety and tragedy of the battle with his own eyes. Looking at the wounded and dead soldiers one by one, he felt a little distressed and said:
"Every day, not only do you have to consume so much of my food and grass, but you also have to spend so much of my pension money. I feel so distressed."
When Mao Ming heard this, he 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 "feeling sorry" for Yinzi?
If these words were spread, it would be an insult to the holy name.
Xu Wenzu said with a smile: "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 the pension money that will be given to their families? Woolen cloth?"
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, there is nothing to worry about."
The emperor stood up,
asked:
"Lanyang City, are you still not taking action?"
Xu Wenzu said: "Yes."
"Oh, it's a good thing that I brought you two with me this time. If I had brought all the people in the court, I'm afraid it would have exploded by now. I would have called out someone named Zheng, and deliberately let the imperial army consume my house and watch the fire from across the bank to save it." Come on if you have the strength.”
"Your Majesty is wise. When it comes to fighting, I am far inferior to the Prince Regent."
"Including me, I don't know how to fight.
but,
Fortunately, I can be obedient even when I don’t understand;
I will cooperate in whatever way his surname Zheng wants me to cooperate.
Where is this going now?
Even if all the family assets are lost,
I won't even blink my eyes.
My father and his generation always gambled on the fate of the country. What do we call this? "
Xu Wenzu said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for coming in person."
The emperor sighed,
Road:
"I didn't want to come, but I was afraid that my eldest brother, Li Liangshen and the others wouldn't want to leave this family.
This time, I
Just to be a supervisor.
Although I also think that Zheng’s game is too big and too risky this time;
But since his surname Zheng is already on the gambling table,
That me,
I can only follow along and suppress my wealth. "
……
The three sides have been at war for a long time;
But here in Lanyang City, it is still sunny and sunny.
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 were also densely packed and could not be seen to the end. The ones flying were 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;
Qian Jun did not attack;
Everyone seemed to have acquiesced and wanted to continue this... the years are peaceful.
In the commander's tent of the Yan army,
Gou Moli was sitting there, issuing military orders one after another, mobilizing the entire army's daily activities;
And at the top of Lanyang City,
Holding a sword that the sword maid bought for him from the blacksmith shop of Nanmenguan, Chen Daxia, who has been guarding the city with the defenders,
brow,
But it gets deeper and deeper;
Because Chen Daxia knew that Zheng Fan regarded him as a friend,
But Chen Daxia knows better,
The reputation of his friend was not so great that the man named Zheng was reluctant to order an attack on the city just because he was here.
Especially yesterday,
When Lanyang Jiedu led a group of generals to inspect the tower,
There was a clear smile on his face, as if something big had happened or was about to happen.
Somehow,
See 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.
Therefore,
He has seen too many former opponents named Zheng, and after laughing happily...
Chen Daxia is a rough man and a martial artist. He doesn't understand military matters or the overall situation of the world. He even... he is a little uneducated.
Therefore, he could not 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 walk over and prepare to ask to see him to express his feelings and worries,
However, he was stopped by the bodyguard of Lord Jiedushi from a long distance away.
He has the protection and certification of Yao Zizhan, and he has the reputation 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, no one can stop him. ;
But because everyone knew that although he was a gangster, he had a close relationship with the regent, so Master Jiedushi did not dare to let him get close.
can be clearly distinguished,
When he first went to Lanyang City to report on the military situation that had already lagged behind,
The Lord Jiedushi received him cordially and greeted him warmly.
Daxia Chen finally came to his senses.
The interview that day didn’t seem to be for Master Yao’s sake.
Because Lord Jiedushi specifically asked himself that day,
he asks:
"How is your health, Mr. Prince Regent?"
……
Shangjing,
palace;
Zhao Mugou, the official of the State of Qian, who had just finished today's meeting in the imperial study room, returned to his palace, once again screened away the eunuchs and maids, and was alone, facing the portrait of the female sword fairy.
The official family had a habit in the past. Every once in a while, they would talk to this portrait;
In the past two months, the frequency has become higher and higher, to the point where it is 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 reply to me was that I have done everything I can and arranged everything in advance. Now, I just need to wait for the results in Jiangnan.
It's soon,
Because even if the Yan people notice something is wrong,
It was too late for him to do anything now.
But no precise military report came in one day.
Do not,
It’s been a day since I saw the regent’s head placed in front of my royal table.
My heart will never settle down for a day.
Do you think,
I, the emperor, do you think I am very hopeless and worthless?
Therefore,
Where are you?
If you were by my side at this moment, accompanying me, then my heart would not be so panicked.
because,
Only you are by my side,
Only then can I prove that my dream is true;
It means,
I am truly... my destiny. "
……
Qian Jun ordered his troops to retreat;
Xie Yu'an took off his leather armor, leaned back a little tiredly, and sat on the steps.
Since the Qian army began to attack the city, Xie Yu'an has been solely responsible for one wall.
It’s very tiring and not easy,
When he lowers his head,
It can be found 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 to his side. Although he was not injured, there were clear scorch marks on his clothes and face. He was quite embarrassed compared to the previous time when he was walking in the wind and had to control the movement of his hair.
Ah Da delivered the water bag and the sword maker shook his head.
Ada handed the water bag to Xie Yuan, who took it and started drinking.
Ah Er brought a basin filled with clean water, and the sword maker began to wash his face.
After washing his face, Ah 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.
"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 even harder."
It was also that day,
Xie Yu'an, who could have stood behind and commanded like a feather fan, changed into leather armor and cut off his long hair at the temples.
"Didn't I work hard before?" Xie Yu'an asked.
"Oh, it used to be called working hard, but now, it's called working hard."
Xie Yuan took the handkerchief that the sword-maker had used to wipe his face before, wiped his own face, and said with emotion:
"I have a good father."
"That's weird, what happened?" The sword maker was really confused.
"Many people call me Qianliju of the Xie family, and I once felt that way. I thought how lucky that old man in my family was to 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 have 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."
"Why do you take care of me?" 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 promise. Right now, my father is in Tongyan City, and I am the only one in front of him. Just wait, your lord, he will..."
The swordmaker coughed slightly;
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 soldiers and wounded soldiers around him immediately stood up subconsciously.
After guarding the city for so long, I finally saw my prince.
No one will complain, and no one will slander. When facing their prince, these troops are not only loyal, but also loyal.
The prince walked straight towards this side, followed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Sword Master.
Looking at his dirty face, and then looking at the clean white clothes of the sword master, the sword maker spread his hands and expressed confusion.
And the sword master,
I scanned the sword maker carefully from top to bottom.
then,
He looked away again.
At this moment, the sword maker almost 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 his sword. Xia uses his sword to reason!
Why is it that I am the one who works so hard to defend the city while you are leisurely and leisurely?
same,
The prince's python robe was obviously changed just for going out, but Xie Yu'an looked like this now.
Is it possible that the people outside are desperately attacking the city to capture the Xie family Qianliju instead of you, the regent of Dayan?
The prince stretched out his hand and placed 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 that 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.
That was because he had a quarrel with his own father, and his mother almost sewed him into a "scarecrow".
Zheng Lin stepped forward,
Bow down to the sword maker,
Road:
"I want a sword."
The sword-maker looked shocked at first, then surprised.
Although it is not an apprenticeship ceremony, at least it is half of it.
What was rare was that His Highness the Crown Prince took the initiative to tell me, and what was even more rare was 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 secular world, coupled with his obsession with making swords, it is already difficult to follow Yu Huaping's point of view in the way of swordsmanship, so he actually values ​​inheritance more than the sword master.
What's more important is that the prince asks for a sword from him. As long as he has this half-master's gift, it means that the Dugu family behind him 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 must also take responsibility for the family's inheritance.
that's enough.
Next, he, the sword maker, can travel around the world without having to worry about his family anymore.
Ok,
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;
Otherwise, everything is empty talk.
But look at Xie Yuan, look at this prince,
Although the sword maker didn't understand, he was inexplicably reassured.
Then,
The prince sat down next to Xie Yu'an.
Xie Yuan moved slightly away a short distance, and then lowered his buttocks.
"You have a good father."
The prince said what Xie Yuan said before.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Xie Yu'an responded.
"I'm curious, did your father guess it early?"
"A humble position... I don't know."
Zheng Fan nodded and said with emotion: "After all, it is one of the four pillar countries."
Xie Yu'an was a little confused about whether to laugh or cry, and he deliberately showed his expression of bewilderment:
"Your Majesty, what you said seems a bit inappropriate."
After all, it is one of the Four Pillar Countries. To outsiders, it sounds like a compliment;
But when the prince with the heads of three Zhu Kingdoms said this... it sounded 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 once stood side by side 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 not push him at all costs. upper position;
It's a pity that he directly faced King Jingnan before he could show his wings. "
No matter how proud the goshawk is, facing Lao Tian, ​​it will only end up with broken wings.
"Let's talk about that year Yao..."
When talking about Nian Yao, the prince obviously glanced in the direction of the city wall. It was no secret that there were Chu troops among the troops outside the city wall.
The allies who had joined Qian's army before instantly became the auxiliary of Qian's army;
"Nian Yao first faced Lao Tian several times and was suppressed to the point of losing his temper. It was because of his great detours. If he hadn't made a desperate move, I don't know, he would have succeeded.
Its end will not be 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 the surface, those three are no longer worthy of standing together with Gu, but in fact, Gu may just be lucky. "
"My lord, you are so humble."
"Your father is the same," the prince said. "Your father is an old dog..."
It seems inappropriate to call someone an old dog in front of his son.
However, it depends on whose mouth it comes from.
When Xie Yu'an said this title from other people, he was not worthy of being the son of a man if he didn't express it.
But now,
As long as Jinghai City remains intact for a day, the regent's status will be far above that of a down-and-out country, the Pillar Kingdom.
After all, Xie Zhuyang was still defeated by others, and he was almost killed by his two nephews and descendants.
"Old dog" is a bit joking, but there is still affirmation and even a little admiration in it.
Xie Yu'an knew very well that his father was standing at the door when the regent shouted: "You old dog..."
I'm afraid that if it's his father, he'll still feel proud.
Status, reputation, strength, and class are all, in essence, earned.
"Sometimes I always keep myself alert, fearing that I will really get carried away and underestimate this world hero."
"My lord..."
Xie Yu'an really didn't know how to answer the question and flatter this person, because he could tell that the prince was speaking out of emotion and with true feelings.
But what he said was enough to put the world's heroes to shame.
At that time, almost everyone among the armies of various countries respected King Jingnan;
But now, it is no longer the era of King Jingnan, but the era of King Pingxi and the regent.
Even the Yan people themselves believed that the regent Wang Qing was better than the master, and he was a military god who was better at fighting than King Jingnan.
The prince was silent for a while,
Everyone present and in this circle also fell silent.
Although the sword maker is still in a state of confusion, he knows that after silence, there will be... a reward.
Xie Yuan had mentioned this when talking to him before;
Moreover, his reward, or to be precise, Dugu's reward, has been given.
Then,
Where is Xie?
The prince said:
"Draw half of Chunan,
Mr. Xie,
Let’s build the country. "
The swordmaker's eyes widened;
And Xie Yuan, after a brief moment of astonishment, immediately knelt down and
Road:
"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."
The uncle's back stabbing was a bit unnatural and had already exceeded Zheng Fan's bottom line;
In the past, it was easy to talk about it, but this time, he, Zheng Fan, took his son on the road together.
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 Yuan swallowed,
Immediately said:
"The Lord of Chu has disobeyed the prince and deserves to be punished!
I am Mr. Xie,
It is a great blessing to be appreciated and protected by the prince;
Don't dare to ask for God's favor. "
The prince smiled,
Road:
"There has to be a reward."
The Xie family's influence in Chunan is so great that one-third of Chunan is almost the Xie family's private land;
Why didn't Zheng Fan take advantage of the great victory in Shanggu County to continue using troops against Chu?
There are many reasons, but one of the most important ones is that he is afraid that his uncle will take the capital and the court to move to southern Chu, so that the cavalry of Jindong and Dayan will have to soak in the mire and face Mianmian. Endless corruption situation.
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 Yu'an's previous words had promised to settle 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, the Xie family, and my father and son dare to overstep our bounds?
If the prince wants to support the Xie family,
What Xie wants...
Only Yingdu became the prince's palace. "
"Now, there is only one royal palace left." Zheng Fan reminded.
The one who cut off his wings was Zheng Fan himself.
"If I tell you, my lord, the wealth will continue to be passed down from generation to generation, which is already a great blessing."
"That's all, that's all, let the palace be the palace. The emperor of Yan will allow you, the Xie family, to be hereditary and not to be granted the title of royal palace. In the future, you, the Xie family, will inherit the responsibilities inherited from the Xiong family in Daxia, suppress Shanyue, and tame them into the kingdom. summer."
"Sir, thank you!"
Xie Yuan kowtowed.
At this time,
The sound of gongs, drums, whistles and arrows sounded again;
This means that Gan Ren will take advantage of dusk to attack again this time.
The prince smiled,
Road:
"Have a hot pot, the fire, Ganren, has been burning as high as possible, and the vegetables and meat are all cooked to a crisp.
pot,
Already boiling...
it's time to,
Stretch out your chopsticks. "
"Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is mighty, An, I am so humbled."
Last time, Xie Yu'an was the commander-in-chief of the Chu army and was personally defeated by Zheng Fan in Shanggu County;
This time, Xie Yuan stood beside Zheng Fan throughout the whole process, but witnessed it with his own eyes, and was conquered again.
Zheng Fan waved his hand,
Road:
"This is really not my back-up. The reason why I haven't shown up these days is because I am too lazy to pretend in front of you. I don't know how to pretend to understand. In fact, it is quite painful."
"Your Majesty, you..."
"It's really not self-effacing. It's not your father who sent the message. I don't know where the position of breaking the situation comes from."
"how can that be……"
"Hehehe."
The prince stretched out his hand, patted Xie Yuan's shoulder and said:
"So, don't underestimate this world hero.
I recall that back then, I led a lone army, infiltrated thousands of miles away from the Ye-Chu coalition, captured the Snow Pass, and then defended it with gritted teeth;
It was supposed to be a narrow escape situation,
But unfortunately, at that time, I was really not panicking, but rather at ease. "
I feel confident in my heart that there is someone who can see the situation clearly, and I am also sure that there is someone who can break the situation.
Xie Yuan said: "That's because there was King Jingnan at that time."
"Correct."
"But now Prince Jingnan is no longer here..."
"But there has always been someone beside me. From the beginning,
At once,
Not inferior to King Jingnan. "
……
The winding mountain road was densely packed with knights leading horses, and behind it was clearly a team organized by the local Shanyue people to transport military supplies.
Jin Shuke took off his helmet and said in confusion:
“General, I thought this mountain road would be difficult to walk and would take more time;
who ever imagined,
This mountain road has been made so smooth, and each temporary camp is built so appropriately and spaciously.
The most important thing is that each camp is also equipped with food, herbs and other military supplies.
Previously, Xie Zhuyang was the one who opened the way for our prince's vanguard army, but I didn't expect that this road could be built so steadily and rigorously. It was also thanks to him that our army could be here without being delayed. "
"Golden magic is possible."
"The end is here."
"You haven't thought about it. Xie Zhuyang might have expected it, so he had already made arrangements."
"But General, you clearly said that the prince sent you to Lanyang City and did not give you any other instructions. Since the prince did not even give you any instructions, how could Xie Zhuyang..."
"When you were looking at the city gate, who could have imagined that you would become the right-hand man of the Regent of Dayan in the future?
Don't underestimate this world hero.
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 make too many arrangements for me. "
"The general is loyal to the prince, and I admire him in the end."
Liang Cheng shook his head,
Road:
"Allowing the king's orders and deploying troops independently is a big taboo in the eyes of others. Even if it is meritorious, it is still a big mistake and it is difficult to end well.
only,
Our prince knows clearly,
If you are good at metal, you may be able to rebel;
but I,
But he will never rebel against him. "
talking,
The two generals of the Jindong Army walked up to the top of the mountain. After passing the mountain, the next step was the great plain east of the Qianjiang River in the state of Qian.
Liang Cheng stood there,
Looking at the foggy area ahead,
closed eyes,
This big zombie who has always been accustomed to being cold and cold,
At this moment, I was rarely moved,
He even couldn’t help but sigh:
"After waiting for so long,
at last,
It's my turn. "
