The devil is coming

Chapter 193
"Hey, people in Taoism and Xuanmen like to use armor to commemorate, but ordinary people like us prefer fifty, one hundred, and rounded numbers.
As the saying goes, a hundred years brings a reincarnation. Now that I think about it, it is true.
Just listen,
I think a hundred years ago, right here in our Yinlang County, the 50 cavalry of the first Zhenbei Marquis defeated his [-]-man army;
What an achievement this is. The first generation of the Marquis of Zhenbei should be the first to be able to support Zuo, the great Yan State.
Who would have thought, hey, this is really strange, this fate has happened.
A hundred years later, that is, today, our generation of Zhenbei Marquis led 20 cavalry into the Qian Kingdom to borrow a road. Our Dayan cavalry went straight to Nanmen Pass and fought behind the Jin people.
The Jin people over there are still fighting with us at Horseshoe Mountain, and the clattering good guys rush out with the Black Dragon Flag's Big Swallow Tiger.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, that battle was so intense that the sky was dark and the earth was in darkness. It was like the mountains collapsed, the earth split, and the water flowed backwards!
Hey, isn't he from Jin always unconvinced, saying that my Dayan cavalry is the best in the world, and my reputation as the best cavalry in the world is in vain. The real number one cavalry in the world belongs to him from Jin.
This is easy to handle, and you can take advantage of the opportunity. Let's take it out for a walk, whether it's a mule or a horse, and you'll see the real results if you work hard.
This tiger made of paper, did he see it in his eyes or not? Under the leadership of the two marquises, our Dayan cavalry traveled thousands of miles in ten days, and the Jin army was chased by our Dayan cavalry.
The Marquis of Zhenbei personally beheaded the head of the Helian family in front of the battle. It was said that the head of the Helian family had a strange beast next to him. He was a hundred feet tall and taller than the walls of Nanwang City. He could swallow the sun and the moon with his words, but he was killed by the Marquis of Zhenbei. I cut off the head with one sword, then beheaded the head of the Helian family with the second sword, and inserted the third sword into the ground.
Others asked the Marquis, "Master Marquis, why don't you continue to kill?"
The Marquis said: I am afraid that if I am not careful, I will kill them all, so I have to let my subordinates share the heads. "
"Snapped!"
The storyteller opened the folding fan, deliberately blocking it at a certain point in the winter, and a young girl holding a bamboo sieve walked among the listeners asking for rewards.
Siniang took out a handful of copper coins and threw them in, then turned to look at Zheng Fan and said:
"My lord, is the Marquis of Zhenbei really that powerful?"
Zheng Fan shook his head and said:
"I heard Li Fusheng say that Zhenbei Hou was seriously injured when he was young, and his energy and blood had long since declined. It was Qingshuang who killed the head of the Helian family."
"Oh, no wonder." Siniang asked again: "My lord, something sounds wrong. I heard that the commander leading the army to attack Jin this time is Marquis Jingnan."
It stands to reason that the Marquis of Jingnan is in charge of the Jingnan Army, and most of the soldiers in the army are natives of Yinlang County. They can be said to be the soldiers of Yinlang County.
As a result, the storytellers in the Nanwangcheng teahouse only talked about the Marquis of Zhenbei and completely forgot about the Marquis of Jingnan, even for the many listeners below.
Although it is said that the Li family of Zhenbeihou was also from Yinlang County a hundred years ago, it was a hundred years ago after all. How could one of his own soldiers be more appropriate?
Zheng Fan shook his head and said:
"The Marquis of Jingnan killed his entire family and was hailed as a vicious monster among the people."
Tian Wujing killed everyone in his family, calling out the overthrow of the Yan family, starting with his own Tian family.
In fact, it was him who pushed and triggered the destruction of the Yan family, and also created the conditions for Dayan to start a war against Jin.
In addition, he was the commander-in-chief of this campaign to enter Jin, and his [-] Jingnan troops were also involved. He should take the first credit both emotionally and rationally.
But the eyes of the masses are blind most of the time. The common people only know that this person is so cruel that he can even wipe out his entire family. He has simply lost his humanity and is even worse than a beast.
Storytellers also adjust their stories according to the market, so naturally they will not tell Tian Wujing alone.
Si Niang silently cracked melon seeds and said:
"That's really frustrating."
He obviously paid the most and sacrificed the most, but in the end, he couldn't even get a good reputation in return.
"Yeah, it's frustrating, so I don't want to be like Tian Wujing."
This is what Zheng Fan said in his heart. If you can avoid being wronged in life, it is best not to be wronged. Anyway, this life is earned in vain, so naturally you want to live in a more free and comfortable direction.
At this time, Zheng Fan turned to look at A Ming and asked:
"Is the blind man still busy over there?"
"There are hundreds of people in the Wen family, and some of them are very busy." A Ming replied.
When the Yan army withdrew, Qian Guo thought that the main force of the Yan people was still waiting for an opportunity to move, so the Qian troops on the three sides did not intercept them and continued to practice their own turtle retreat skills.
When he met Chuzhou City on the way, at Li Fusheng's signal, he asked those in Chuzhou City who were willing to go to Yan State with the Yan people to take them with him.
Wen Sutong was a hardcore adulterer, so he naturally wanted to follow him. There were also some civil servants and military officers who were "doing bad things" these days, so they had no choice but to follow the Yan people northward.
It is hard to leave their homeland, but they know in their hearts that if they continue to stay, after the Yan people leave, they will inevitably be liquidated, and no one will be spared.
Therefore, the whole Wen family went north together, and as the "grandson-in-law" of the Wen family, the blind man naturally had to be very busy.
After entering the Yan Kingdom, we had to arrange food and drink for such a large group of people.
Fortunately, as a representative of the "surrender faction" of the Qian Kingdom, Wen Sutong will definitely be highly courteous by Emperor Yan, so it won't be long before an imperial edict will come down to summon Wen Sutong to Yanjing, and he will be given a noble official position.
"However, I heard that Mr. Wen will only take his family to Yanjing. The adult men in the clan, ranging from 16 to 40 years old, about thirty people, will all stay with us."
"Stay with us here?" Zheng Fan was a little surprised.
After these family men enter Yanjing City, they will definitely be favored by their descendants due to Emperor Yan's generosity. The adult men of the Wen family will also be assigned some official positions to ensure that the Wen family can take root in Yan.
But it is very interesting that the old man deliberately left so many men behind.
"It's said that we want them to join the army and follow us."
Zheng Fan smiled and said,
"I don't even know where to go next, yet I'm entrusted with this group of people."
Yes,
Zheng Fan came to Nanwang City this time to express his merits.
This big battle is actually over, at least, this stage is over.
Yan State annexed half of Jin State's territory and was the biggest winner;
It can be said that since the founding of the Yan people, the country's strategic situation has been very poor. There are barbarians in the west who have been fighting each other for hundreds of years. A hundred years ago, the state of Qian still dared to carry out the Northern Expedition from time to time. The state of Jin in the east has also been watching with eager eyes.
This time, it is said that it was a secret edict from Emperor Yan that prevented the barbarian king from crossing the border.
The northern part of the Qian Kingdom was destroyed. Even if the Qian Kingdom was rich in the south of the Yangtze River, it would take a lot of time to recover and train its troops. The Jin Kingdom was cut into half, and the Jin Emperor was already on his way to Yanjing to pay homage to the Yan Emperor.
The Situ family sat in the eastern part of the Jin Kingdom, but seeing the other two who had been feuding with them for nearly a hundred years being taken away, it could be said that they were panicked and hurriedly wanted to form an alliance with their old enemy, the Chu Kingdom. After all, everyone knows the truth of the relationship between lips and teeth, but Emperor Chu died at this time.
So this guy is not self-reliant now, but the nominal monarch of his family has knelt down. Now, the Situ family can only tremble at home.
That is to say, the Yan people are now fighting in succession. Although the results are gratifying, the losses are also huge. Not to mention the losses of Li Fusheng and Li Bao's two men. The Jin people have always been unconvinced by the Yan people's unparalleled cavalry. It is not just bragging. They are attacking from behind. Under the premise of defeating the two elites, the Yan army's losses were still not small.
Therefore, the Three Kingdoms are all tired of fighting, and everyone needs to slow down.
The old emperor in Chu State has just passed away, and the princes are busy fighting against the landlords.
The situation among the four countries has calmed down. If nothing unexpected happens, the theme will be peace and development for a long time to come.
But despite this, the defenses of various places cannot be neglected. No matter how useless the officials are, the elites on the three sides cannot be completely ignored. The Situ family must also beware of those who are eager to jump over the wall and play ruthless tricks. Even the newly occupied Jin Dynasty also needs troops. The suppression remains stable, and Beifeng County also needs to deploy troops to defend against the barbarians.
Therefore, after the war, the scene of the army entering the capital for meritorious service to be inspected and granted a title by Emperor Yan did not appear at this time, but the pace of reward based on merit did not slow down.
"Okay, it's almost time. Xu Wenzu's party should be over. Let's go."
Zheng Fan left the teahouse with A Ming and Siniang and went to the General Military Mansion, oh no, it should be called the Governor's Mansion now.
Xu Pangpang has been promoted. He is no longer the commander-in-chief and prefect. Instead, he has made great achievements by relying on the material rationing before the war and his courage to take the initiative to resist the temptation of Ganren during the war.
It can be said that the military defense of Qian State on the front line of Nanwang City and the soldiers and horses below are all under his fatness.
Today, there was a banquet held at the governor's house. Zheng Fan deliberately delayed his arrival and didn't bring any gifts.
This is Siniang's suggestion.
Sure enough, when the housekeeper brought Zheng Fan into the house,
Xu Wenzu seemed to have just drank at the banquet and was lying down to rest. When he heard that Zheng Fan was coming, he ran out barefoot without even having time to put on his shoes.
Si Niang, who was standing behind Zheng Fan, couldn't help but say: "They are all graduates of Beijing Film Academy."
"Brother Zheng, Brother Zheng, hahahaha, as the ancients said, you should be humble but never forget your righteousness, and be respectful but never ask for mercy. Brother Zheng is really a benevolent person in ancient times!"
This means that Zheng Fan deliberately came after the banquet without bringing any gifts. This is how he treats Xu Wenzu as a true friend. The relationship between the two has not changed, and they still have a bad taste!
"Congratulations, my lord, for your promotion!"
Zheng Fan congratulated him respectfully.
Xu Pangpang is now a real feudal official.
"Same joy, same joy, don't you have it too? Come on, follow me."
Xu Wenzu led Zheng Fan into the house and backed away.
"Brother Zheng, originally, your reward from the imperial court should have been issued a long time ago. He should be a guerrilla general under Nanwang City. We can still work together."
"It is my blessing to continue to work with you!"
There is nothing to say about Xu Pangpang, the leader. When he treats you as one of his own, he will really shamelessly give you benefits.
"Hey, but the "Zheng Zi's Art of War" you presented was read by His Majesty, and His Majesty praised you for your great talent.
However, Zhao Jiulang is wearing small shoes for you now, and he still remembers your horse-riding in the academy.
He said that your "Zheng Zi's Art of War" seems to be conclusive, but it feels like you are following the rules and falling into a rut. After all, you are too young to write a book and biography at a young age, and I am afraid that you will not want to make progress.
It is better to let you go to the new land of Jin State to guard a city.
Alas, isn’t this a trick? The Jin region is newly attached. Even though we have taken it now, the skinny camels over there at the Situ family are bigger than horses, and there are also the savage settlements in the Tianduan Mountains. The hearts of the people in the Jin region are... It's not stable either. If you go there to serve as a city guard, how can you continue to work as a team in Nanwang City?
Within three years, brother, I will guarantee that you will be promoted to the rank of commander-in-chief!
Hehe, people like Zhao Jiulang have too much scholarly temperament and are too narrow-minded. In a few days, you and I will submit a letter to His Majesty. Don't worry, Your Majesty will not chill the hearts of the heroes. "
Zheng Fan did not cooperate with Xu Pangpang in complaining about Dayan Zaifu.
Instead, I let out a cry in my heart: "Fuck!"
Zhao Jiulang, you are so damn considerate!
.........
"Ah!"
"The war is over, but I'm even busier. I can't help but make you sick."
Zhao Jiulang stood up quickly and said with a smile:
"Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty, but I am not sick due to being busy with official duties, but I suddenly went crazy as a teenager last night, and I had sex with my concubine a few times, and then I caught the cold.
Alas, this promiscuous disease can only be cured by wind and cold. "
"Your shameless attitude has never changed." Emperor Yan scolded with a smile.
"Your Majesty, I am anxious."
"What are you in a hurry?"
"The two nobles in this palace have recently been diagnosed by the imperial doctor as being pregnant with a dragon heir. I am not convinced. I feel that I am one or two years younger than your Majesty, and I also want to toss another fruit.
Alas, who would have thought that the bones in this body are really useless and can only increase envy. "
"Hahahahahaha..."
Emperor Yan laughed and said,
As a man, no one can refuse to praise himself in this aspect without being proud, and Emperor Yan is no exception.
Both goddaughters were pregnant and promoted to nobles. This was a sign that Ji Runhao announced to the world that his Majesty, the Emperor of Yan, was still in his prime!
However, while smiling, Emperor Yan suddenly coughed.
The little eunuch waiting on the side quickly brought a silk handkerchief and delivered it to him. Emperor Yan took the silk handkerchief and covered his mouth and coughed. After coughing, he found a pool of blood on the silk handkerchief.
"Bang!"
The little eunuch knocked over the tea cup in panic.
Emperor Yan silently held the handkerchief in his hand, looked at Zhao Jiulang, and said:
"We are a monarch and a minister, but I have also caught the cold."
"Drink some ginger soup and sweat and you'll be over." Zhao Jiulang said with a smile.
Emperor Yan nodded,
Road:
"That's all. You and I, my king and my ministers, have rarely had a break in the past few months. We have all given ourselves a day to replenish our energy and blood. I am also tired. You should go back home and sweat. If I meet you and my king and my ministers the next day, this wind and cold will It would be a real pleasure if the anger is passed on to the other officials."
"My lord, thank you Lord for your kindness. My lord, please retire!"
Zhao Jiulang retreated with a smile on his face.
In the palace, only Emperor Yan, Wei Zhonghe, who was helping to approve the red seal, and the little eunuch were left.
Emperor Yan leaned back slightly,
Putting the handkerchief on the imperial desk,
Slowly said:
"Who else is at home?"
The little eunuch immediately knelt down,
He said in fear:
"As far as your Majesty is concerned, I have an old mother and a younger sister at home."
"Are you married?"
"Never."
"I will summon your sister to the palace as a promise. You can go down and die by yourself."
The little eunuch kowtowed tremblingly,
Crying:
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
