The devil is coming
Chapter 380 Thorn Pulling!
Chapter 380 Thorn Pulling!
"My son's surname is Zheng."
Logically speaking, these words should make Liang Cheng feel very uncomfortable.
After all, he is an ancient zombie with a arrogant heart. His master is called his son, so doesn't he have an "overlord" above his head out of thin air?
But that’s not how the account is calculated.
The origin of all this comes from the fact that the master of the family, Zheng Fan, followed the principle of doing more with less than doing more, regardless of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and went to the temple to worship without any trouble.
He kowtowed in front of the simple small altar table.
Shatuo Queshi had no heirs, and his tribe, the Shatuo tribe, had been wiped out.
He personally set up an altar to pay homage to himself in advance and to pay homage to the desert sand where he was born and raised.
But because of the kowtow attack on his master,
As a result, his master became the "blood-food inheritance" of Shatuo Queshi.
Just like when people celebrate festivals or the anniversary of the death of their ancestors, they go to the graves and burn paper as tribute.
The living offer blood and food to the deceased, and the deceased protects the living in peace and prosperity;
Talking about transaction is a bit too cold, because there are many emotional factors in it, and it can be called a tacit understanding.
The so-called "asking ancestors for blessings" is actually the truth.
For this reason, Sha Tuo Queshi said, "My son's surname is Zheng." That's right, because Zheng Fan kowtowed to him too much, and there was never a shortage of offerings during festivals. From time to time, Zheng Fan would go to Sha Tuo Que Shi with drinks, drinks and dishes. Tuoqueshi chat.
Although Shatuo Queshi is now a zombie, he has indeed saved Zheng Fan several times. Zombies are scary, but if you choose a normal person, would you like to have such a down-to-earth "zombie godfather"? People will nod without hesitation and shout, "I want, I want, I want."
Liang Cheng hesitated for a moment and then returned to the house.
It happened that Zheng Fan had just walked out with a bottle of wine, cut a plate of dried tofu and carried it.
Judging from this posture, he planned to go to Sha Tuo Que Shi to chat.
After all, so many things have happened today, which is equivalent to having a quarrel with the demon kings. The more at this time, the more people want to talk.
Liang Cheng suddenly felt that his master was a little pitiful. Each of the demon kings was a tough-minded person and had experienced enough ups and downs. Therefore, even if Xue San was beaten, Xue San could actually see things clearly. .
But Zheng Fan was not. Zheng Fan was running all the way, trying hard to keep up with the devil.
"Why are you back again?"
Zheng Fan asked with a smile.
Liang Cheng didn't hide it and said directly:
"My lord, my subordinate has just advanced."
"Oh, congratulations."
Zheng Fan seemed to have known this result for a long time and did not appear surprised.
They really know each other too well.
For example, when Xue San violated the rules this time, Zheng Fan naturally knew what he wanted to achieve.
"The bloodline of my subordinates has recovered a little, and now I can communicate with Shatuo Queshi... between zombies."
"Huh? Can you help the Shatuo Que Stone recover?"
"It may not be possible yet, but it should be possible to do something for him."
"You are a big zombie, and you don't know exactly what you can do?"
Faced with this question, Liang Cheng still answered very sincerely:
"My lord, before turning into a zombie, my subordinates were already very strong. After turning into zombies, my subordinates are directly like ancient zombies. So, what are the differences between lower-level zombies and what are their ability limitations? Is this really true? not very clear."
"..." Zheng Fan.
The truth often hurts the most.
Liang Cheng's words almost mean that I will reach my peak when I debut.
Just like a genius who entered college at the age of eleven or twelve,
If you insist on asking him to talk about life in junior high school and high school, he really doesn’t know.
"Let's go and take a look together."
"Yes, my lord."
.........
Because the Hirano House has not yet been completed, the basement suitable for the Shataku stone coffin has not yet been vacated. In this temporary house, the Shataku stone is placed in the most remote room in the back house. .
When Zheng Fan and Liang Cheng came over, they found that Mowan and the young Marquis had already arrived.
Zheng Fan, a martial artist, might not have sensed the movement of the coffin lid being blown away and the aura of Sha Tuo Que Stone leaking out, but it was impossible for the spirit body of Mowan not to be alarmed.
in the house,
The young Marquis was sitting on the edge of the coffin, very close to the Sha Tuo Que Stone.
You can only say,
After all, it is the child brought by Magic Pill, who is really cold and carefree;
Other aunties who take their children to see cats and dogs have to worry about not being scratched by the small animals. But here in Magic Pill, they directly bring their children to have close contact with a zombie.
This is countless times more dangerous than putting a child in a tiger cage.
On the other hand, I can only lament that the son of Marquis Jingnan is indeed very tough in fate.
If other children encounter something dirty and are slightly frightened, they may be possessed and fall ill;
The little Marquis has been playing with ghosts since he was a child, crawling on the coffin, but he has a good appetite, so eating is delicious.
When Zheng Fan came in, Shatuo Queshi, who was sitting in the coffin, slowly turned his head and looked at Zheng Fan.
He is still expressionless, but you can feel that he is paying attention to you.
Shatuo Queshi had interacted with Mowan, because Mowan was Zheng Fan's "son".
Shatuo Queshi also killed the culprits to protect the young marquis, because the young marquis was Zheng Fan's "godson".
You kowtowed to me,
I will protect your descendants.
Shatuo Queshi did it.
Whether he was alive or dead, he was a man of honor and trustworthiness.
Liang Cheng opened his mouth, and a hoarse friction sound came from his throat. His eyes were filled with green, like a ghostly fire.
As if being pulled by Liang Cheng, Shatuo Queshi also opened his mouth and began to respond hoarsely.
for a while,
Liang Cheng said:
"Lord, his consciousness is still very confused right now, but he can try to ask some questions."
Zheng Fan nodded and said:
"Ask him what he wants."
You can't always accept someone else's favor with peace of mind. If possible, Zheng Fan would also like to do something for him.
Liang Cheng began to ask about Sha Tuo Que Stone.
after awhile,
Liang Cheng responded:
"Lord, he said yellow sand, sheep, oases..."
"Is this what he said?"
"This is what my subordinates guessed."
"Oh."
Zheng Fan sighed and said:
"He's homesick."
What the deceased needs is to rest in his grave, and what he pursues is for his soul to return to his hometown.
This is nature, the instinct of all living things.
Leaving home when you are young and returning home when you are old is a kind of reincarnation and a destination that people pursue in life.
Shatuo Queshi's home is in the Shatuo tribe, but that tribe has been exterminated.
But his hometown is in the desert.
Zheng Fan felt a little guilty,
Because of his relationship, the Shatuo Que Stone was brought from the desert to Hutou City, then from Hutou City to Cuiliu Fort, and then from Cuiliu Fort to Shengle, and then continued eastward to Xuehaiguan. .
Every time he moved to another place, he got promoted and became rich, and his power became stronger and stronger;
But for Shatuo Queshi, it is getting further and further away from his hometown.
"Lord, this is just his extremely simple thought now, because his current consciousness is not mature enough."
"But it's also his truest thoughts."
Zheng Fan sighed and continued:
"In the future, I will help him rebuild a Shatuo Department."
Liang Cheng nodded and said: "This is what it should be."
Just then, the blind man came over.
He actually didn't need to pass the message, because with a little mental power, he could know where Zheng Fan was in the house.
The blind man walked in and noticed Liang Cheng first, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curve.
this wave,
It’s really an honest man’s turnaround.
Silly Tiehanhanfanli,
This cold zombie,
They were actually the first two people to advance.
Therefore, it is true that people should not be judged by their appearance, and people should not be completely believed in this thing.
"My lord, the military information sent from Yupan City."
Zheng Fan turned around, looked at the blind man, and asked:
"what happened?"
"The eldest prince's dowry, that is, the Keyan tribe, with nearly [-] tribesmen, is already crossing Wangjiang. When the letter was delivered, it should be crossing the river. Now that we have received this letter, I think the tribe that came here should have finished crossing by now. , maybe even on the way to the east."
"So fast?"
These ten thousand barbarian cavalry are what Uncle Zheng thinks about day and night.
With the extra [-] cavalry at Snow Customs, it would be easier to go north to the snowfields or go to Zhennanguan to hang out in front of the Chu people.
Unlike now, we can only concentrate on construction, and everything seems to be stretched thin.
Self-construction and self-reliance are certainly principles that must be adhered to, but since there are objects around you for plunder, it would be a shame not to do some primitive accumulation of bloody crimes.
At the same time, after mastering these [-] barbarian cavalry, although Uncle Zheng cannot compete with the strength of the Zhenbei Army commanders like Li Fusheng, he can still firmly sit in the second echelon of Dayan commanders.
We don't talk about the title here, only the number of soldiers and horses under his command.
The Zhenbei Army has six towns of troops and 30 cavalry. There are nearly [-] cavalry under the general soldiers in each town. Even if some excess are eliminated, there will definitely be [-]. Uncle Zheng is only half of them now.
Of course, in the past few years, the Zhenbei Army has suffered great losses due to the wars in the north and south, but it can replenish its recruits quickly.
Zheng Fan looked at the blind man and said:
"Tents and supplies for reception will be prepared immediately, and supporting support work must follow."
The blind man nodded and said: "My lord, here is an official document from the Ministry of Revenue. Here is the name of the money and grain that was escorted to our Xue Customs by the Ministry of Revenue in the first half of this year."
Having said this, the blind man smiled and said:
"My lord, it's the actual amount."
"Real amount?"
The Yan State has always provided only [-]% of the money and food for the troops stationed in Jin. In some places, it is even less. For the shortfall, local generals have to rely on themselves to provide enough food and clothing.
It stands to reason that Snow Customs is in a key location and there are many places that need support, but it would be very interesting if they can give more than [-]%.
The actual amount, without any discount, is all given to you.
Even in later generations, the phenomenon of geese plucking the feathers of special money and food items falling from above will inevitably happen, let alone now.
"My lord, it's not just the actual amount. The losses during transportation have also been made up. At the same time, the categories of money and grain and the various baggage weights, how can I put it, if calculated, are more than the original so-called actual amount." Well, it’s more than [-]% more.”
The so-called "money and food" does not simply refer to money and a type of food. There are too many ways to manipulate it.
Zheng Fan believes that the blind man and Siniang are proficient in this, but since the blind man said that this time it is really full, it means that the money and food escorted by the Ministry of Revenue this time is nearly three times more than usual. times.
"Who is responsible?" Zheng Fan immediately figured out the meaning.
As a warlord leader who leads troops abroad, he naturally knows why there are people in the court who want to be officials, especially this kind of "unbelievable" high-strength milk.
If you are not a relative or an acquaintance, why should someone be so nice to you?
Even if this is a expenditure from the treasury, the person who manages the treasury is still a living person after all, right?
The blind man silently took out another letter and said:
"My lord, this comes together with the documents from the Household Department. It is a letter from the Sixth Prince. The Sixth Prince is currently observing the Household Department, which probably means he is an intern at the Household Department, but obviously..."
The blind man didn't say the following words, but everyone can definitely understand them.
Uncle Zheng took a deep breath,
And spit it out slowly,
He couldn't help but open his arms and stretch.
Road:
"It feels so good, so comfortable."
The blind man agreed: "No, in the past the Sixth Prince could only rely on his own business to support us, just like the trickle of water, it can be used to quench thirst just right;
Now, the state treasury is being used to support us. This amount of milk is very comfortable. "
"It's up to you to reply to Xiao Liuzi's letter."
"Yes, my lord."
"In addition, send another letter to Marquis Jingnan to express my regards."
The Marquis of Jingnan is in charge of Fengxin City, but in the whole land of Three Jins, who can speak the best? Even a three-year-old child knows this answer.
The so-called greetings mean to urge the money and food sent from Yingdu. Isn't it about time?
At the same time, when the money and grain from the Ministry of Household Affairs are escorted over, you have to ask the Marquis to help take care of it. Those things are "Zheng" and cannot be picked apart by others.
Since he is a close confidant, he must be treated like a close confidant.
"Yes, my subordinates understand."
At this time, Liang Cheng asked:
"My lord, since Keyan's tribe has crossed Wangjiang, shouldn't we send a team of troops to respond?"
Hearing this, Zheng Fan nodded thoughtfully and said:
"Ask Jin Shuke to lead a thousand riders. He is a barbarian and can be easily communicated with."
I heard that Jin Shuke was assigned to respond.
Liang Cheng and the blind man naturally understood what was going on.
This boy's previous act of loyalty was not in vain. This road has become much wider.
Now that I have said this,
Zheng Fan said to Liang Cheng again:
"Let's put the matter of sending troops to the snowy fields on hold for now, and wait until the barbarian cavalry arrives before we can plan a new plan."
I mentioned before that I would lead troops to the snowfield, but it was actually to relax and vent my anger.
However, Uncle Zheng is not King You of Zhou after all. Military matters and personal preferences can still be distinguished. Since it will not take long for the troops at his disposal to be doubled, then it will undoubtedly be very difficult to alert the snake at this time. Stupid thing.
"Yes, my subordinates understand."
"By the way, blind man, hurry up and formulate a battle plan with that barbarian king, and then start preparing for the ideological and political education of the [-] barbarian cavalry.
By autumn at the latest, we must launch a major attack on the snow plains. Otherwise, with so many people inside and outside the snow customs, it will be difficult to live comfortably next winter unless we plunder them. "
"Don't worry, Lord, my subordinates will take care of it."
"Okay, I'll be alone for a while."
"Yes, my lord."
"Yes, my lord."
The blind man and Liang Cheng walked out, one holding the stone where the magic pill was, and the other holding the little Marquis.
After walking outside,
The blind man knocked the stone in his hand and joked:
"A fool and a zombie have both advanced. How long will it take for you, my biological son, to wait?"
Magic Pill ignored the blind man's instigation.
The little Marquis in Liang Cheng's arms stretched out his hand to rub Liang Cheng's body. He could feel that Liang Cheng's skin was different from that of ordinary people.
"call………"
The blind man shook his waist and said:
"Is that what it looks like?"
I'm asking about the way to advance, is it that kind?
Liang Cheng nodded: "I thought you would stay here for an excuse."
"To be honest, being told by several people a day will always make you tired. It's like chicken soup. If you drink too much in a short period of time, you will definitely suffer from diaphragm. We are not in a hurry. I will wait for the master's sensory emotions to cool down a little before I go on. .
After all, if you don't succeed the first time, the same sincere words will definitely be boring the second time. "
The blind man had everything figured out.
"As long as you know what's going on." Liang Cheng wouldn't worry about the blind man.
"Actually, we are quite good. Do you know who has the hardest time?"
"Xue San?"
"San'er is in trouble this time, but it's not a big problem. The most difficult thing is actually the person in my hand plus Siniang, one is my biological son and the other is my bedmate. I know why they failed to succeed this time. What?
Because the closer you are to someone, the harder it is to tell the truth. "
said,
The blind man pointed at his chest:
"It's easy to get hurt."
"Buzz!"
The magic pill flew up and hit the blind man directly on the head!
The blind man didn't evade or even resist. He just stood there and shouted directly:
"A Cheng, save me!"
"Snapped!"
Liang Cheng stretched out his hand and grabbed the stone that hit the blind man.
Liang Cheng, who now has the advantage in strength, is not very difficult to deal with the magic pill. Of course, the premise is that everyone only fights at an ordinary level and does not face life and death.
The blind man adjusted his collar calmly, not feeling that his words were annoying at all, but continued:
"It hurts the heart, but everything has two sides. The wounds between people who are close to each other are actually easier to heal."
immediately,
The blind man bent down, put his face forward, reached out and poked twice on the stone where the magic pill was.
Road:
"Don't you, the master, know that Siniang's love for him is not pure love between a man and a woman?"
paused,
The blind man said again:
"As Lord, don't you know that your biggest dream is to be a filial son?"
……
in the house,
Shatuo Queshi, who was sitting before, had already laid back, closed his eyes, and remained motionless, really like an ordinary corpse.
Zheng Fan personally adjusted the position of the cushions and pillows in the coffin, and then helped him cover the precious silk blanket.
Subsequently,
Zheng Fan sat on the ground,
Facing the coffin,
Put the food and wine on the table,
Two pairs of chopsticks and two bowls.
When he estimated that the blind man and Liang Cheng outside had gone far,
Zheng Fan raised his wine glass and pointed it at the coffin.
Road:
"Let's go first."
……
Keyan's migration team is on the way.
On the north and south sides of the team, there were [-] Jingnan Army cavalry accompanying them.
This is the treatment this tribe has received since entering the Yan Kingdom from Beifeng County.
Over the past hundreds of years, many barbarian tribes have migrated to the Yan State, and some barbarians have even served as officials in the Yan State's court. However, this is the first time for a large-scale tribal migration like the Keyan tribe.
Ke Yanmou, the leader of Keyan tribe, was riding on horseback with a wine bag in his hand, which contained mare's milk wine.
He was half drunk all the way. During the tribe's migration, his eldest son, Ke Yandong, was responsible for all matters that required the clan leader's intervention.
The customs in Yan State and Jin State are indeed much better than the desert, but the desert is his hometown. If it were not for the consideration of the whole clan, old and young, he, Ke Yanmou, would never accept the conditions of migration.
and,
Or as a dowry for the barbarian king to marry his daughter!
But, there is really no way, people always have to live.
Brother Ke Yandong rode his horse to his father's side and reported:
"Father, dozens of clan members are sick today."
It is normal for people to be acclimatized to such a long-distance migration. Not only the young and old within the clan, but even the warriors within the clan will inevitably fall ill.
"Send it to the priest to take care of it. In addition, please ask the Yan people to send some more doctors to treat my people."
"Yes, father."
"Brother Dong."
"Father?"
"You don't need to come to me to report these things in the future. You are an adult. You are the young master of the Keyan tribe and the future leader of our Keyan tribe. You should learn to use your own wisdom and bravery to lead the tribe. Moving forward.”
Whether it is a Central Plains dynasty or a desert barbarian tribe, the battle for heirs is always a taboo and sensitive topic, because it involves the most fundamental struggle for power.
But there is an exception in the Keyan tribe, because Ke Yanmou took over the Keyan tribe from his brother, and he only has one son, Brother Ke Yandong, and the rest are all daughters.
Therefore, Ke Yanbu had no choice when it came to his future successor.
When the team passed through Yanjing, Ke Yanmou learned that the current Emperor Yan actually had seven sons. Instead of being jealous, he felt a little pity for the Emperor Yan.
Of course, these words cannot be said casually, because the former Emperor of the Yan people has now become His Majesty the Emperor above his head.
After Keyan's tribe entered Yan, they would not have the chance to return to their desert homeland in a short period of time. Therefore, the whole clan had to rely on the breath of the Yan people to survive.
At the same time, the Yan people obviously did not trust them, so they moved them far from the west to the Xueguan Pass in the east. Along the way, no matter where the team moved, they were followed by more than [-] Yan cavalry nearby.
Although Keyan's tribe can also organize thousands of warriors, after all, all the women, old and young, are here, so it is impossible and dare not have any conflict with the Yan people.
"Father, you are as strong as an eagle in the desert. Besides, there are seven elders in my clan. You have extraordinary experience and wisdom. I still need to learn from you."
As the only heir, Brother Ke Yandong was not being hypocritically polite when he said these words.
Since he is an only child, what should he be worried about?
What should be yours must be yours.
Even if his father gives birth to another son now, it will not pose any threat to him because of the big age gap.
When one's status is firmly guaranteed, one will naturally give more thought to public considerations.
"call………"
Ke Yanmo smiled, shook his head, raised his neck and took a big sip of kumiss.
"Brother Dong, what I'm most worried about right now is whether the Xuehai Customs can prepare food for our tribe to survive along the way. Except for the war horses in the tribe, they are better protected. As for the other cattle and sheep, they are already on the way. It was almost consumed on the way.
If the uncle from Yan in Xueguan cannot provide us with enough food and leather, it will be very difficult for our tribe this winter. "
For the desert barbarians, the livestock herd is a means of production, just like the fields of the people in the Central Plains. Now that the livestock herd has almost withered due to migration, it is impossible to let the tribesmen learn to farm, right?
Even if it is farming, it is too late at this time.
Brother Ke Yandong seemed very calm and said directly:
"Father, don't worry about this. There is a snowfield to the north of Xueguan. The savages in the snowfield also graze their cattle. We are short of livestock. When the time comes, my son will lead the warriors of the tribe to rob the savages!"
At worst, a percentage of the things we snatched back will be given to Uncle Yan from Xuehaiguan. We can't possibly watch our people starve to death and freeze to death. "
Barbarians look down on savages. This is a real chain of contempt.
Even though the savages had once ravaged the Jin region, the barbarians still felt that the savages were not considered worthy.
"Brother Dong, after arriving at the Snow Customs, be careful not to act rashly on the warriors of the clan, otherwise, big problems will occur."
"Father, I know what you are worried about. We are willing to sacrifice our lives for the Yan people, but the Yan people must not let us starve to death!"
"No matter what, you need to change your temper. Since our clan has moved inland, we must be careful in everything we do."
"I know, father, I will not take the initiative to provoke the Yan people."
In the past hundred years, because of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion and the Zhenbei Army, the desert barbarians actually had a kind of fear towards the Yan people.
"woo woo woo woo!!!!!!!!!!"
at this time,
A horn suddenly sounded.
Immediately afterwards, the two Jingnan Army cavalry originally guarding Keyan's tribe suddenly got excited and began to accelerate.
This sudden change caused Ke Yanbu to panic.
Brother Ke Yandong subconsciously thought that the Yan people were planning to take action, and immediately wanted to raise the horns on his body to summon the warriors of the tribe to gather around him and prepare to fight.
"lay down!"
Ke Yanmu whipped over and pulled the horns out of his son's hands.
"If the Yan people want to attack us, do they need to wait until now?"
at the same time,
From the east, groups of Yan people's cavalry galloped out. The Yan people's knights holding high the black dragon flag walked through the advancing team of Keyan's tribe without any scruples.
"Father, what's going on?"
Brother Ke Yandong could now see that the Yan people did not mean to fight.
Ke Yanmo dropped the wine bottle in his hand on the ground, straightened his clothes, put on his hat, and said slowly:
"When we passed through Yingdu, didn't we say we wanted to visit the Nanhou who was from Yan and had the same name as the Northern Marquis? But it turned out that he was not in Yingdu, but in Fengxin City to the east of Wangjiang River.
Now that we have crossed Wangjiang River, who is the nobleman of Yan State who will be in front of us? "
said,
Ke Yanmo then pointed at the excited Jingnan Army knights around him.
"Who else could make these Yan troops so excited except the Marquis Nan from Yan?"
Ke Yanbu could become a thorn in the side of the Barbarian King, and its leader Ke Yanmu could not be a drunkard. After seeing the excitement of these Yan knights, he understood clearly how important the Yan Nanhou's status was in the Yan army. Sublime.
Even though he, as the leader of the tribe, could only command two or three thousand direct soldiers and horses at most, the Marquis of Nan, a native of Yan, could make these Yan soldiers love him from the bottom of their hearts. These soldiers felt it was a great blessing.
Such prestige...
Ke Yanmou narrowed his eyes.
at this time,
What flashed in the mind of the leader of Ke Yan was,
If the Marquis of Nan from Yan wants to rebel, and if my tribe follows him, will our tribe get the chance to return to the desert after he succeeds?
You can't blame Ke Yanmo for thinking of this, because since he left the desert, he has been enduring the pain and humiliation of leaving his hometown day and night. Returning home has become a knot in his heart.
"The King of Jingnan has arrived, please kneel down to greet him!"
"The King of Jingnan has arrived, please kneel down to greet him!"
"The King of Jingnan has arrived, please kneel down to greet him!"
Shouts came from the mouths of the Jingnan Army knights.
Although the imperial court's decree had already come down, the king of Jingnan was removed from his title and returned to the title of marquis again.
But these Jingnan soldiers will not change their words. Since they have become a prince, they will always be a prince. That is what we like to call you. Can your court control you?
It's okay to change your name and not call him Wang Ye.
Then I can only change my name to Your Majesty!
"Brother Dong, summon the elders of the clan and come with me to meet the Nanhou of Yan."
Ke Yan's reaction was very docile. Not only did the tribesmen immediately kneel down and worship after seeing the king's flag, but all the noble elders in the tribe also removed their weapons and left their horses under the leadership of the leader Ke Yanmou. , came to the temporary military tent very respectfully.
Outside the military tent, there were 1 Jingnan Army cavalry ready to attack, while more than [-] cavalry were cruising outside.
The war in which the Eastern Expeditionary Army expelled the barbarians and Chu people had just ended. Although the Yan army suffered heavy losses, the morale and self-confidence created by the victory after victory could be seen with the naked eye!
And after the war, the Marquis of Jingnan spared the troops of the Three Jin Dynasties except Li Fusheng and Li Bao who originally belonged to the Zhenbei Army. All the troops and horses were reorganized and integrated into the Jingnan Army system.
Therefore, it can be said that the losses suffered by the Yan Army in the last round of war have not been made up, but the Jingnan Army is definitely stronger.
Looking at this neat military appearance,
Ke Yanmou took a deep breath and knelt down directly outside the fence before he entered the stronghold.
"Ke Yanmou, the leader of Keyan Tribe, led his tribe to pay homage to Prince Jingnan. His Majesty is a thousand years old!"
The leader knelt down, and behind him, Brother Ke Yandong and other elders and nobles also knelt down.
Brother Ke Yandong was very close to his father. After kneeling down, he couldn't help but whisper:
"Are the Yan people trying to kill our majesty?"
Putting up such a large array is not a battle, but of course it is a deterrent.
This method is actually very common in the desert. Sometimes when there is a conflict between two tribes, the stronger tribe will often choose to send an army of warriors from its own tribe to visit the enemy tribe. If there is a gap in strength, If there is a huge disparity, hostile tribes will also choose to give in.
Ke Yanmo shook his head and responded to his son quickly in a low voice:
"No, does the Southern Marquis of Yan have nothing to do and does he need to go out of his way to show off in front of us? You know, he is on an equal footing with the Northern Marquis.
He was specifically supporting people, the uncle at Xuehaiguan. It was said that the uncle was his confidant, and it seemed true.
As a master, he was actually willing to go out of his way to support his men and remove their thorns.
Thinking about it this way, after we arrive at Xueguan, if we make good friends with the uncle from Yan people, life for the tribe should not be too difficult. "
"Supporting others?" Brother Dong was stunned for a moment. After all, he was still young and could not react as quickly as his father on these matters.
“Click…………Click…………”
The door of the military camp was opened.
"By order of the prince, the leader of Keyan tribe is summoned to appear before him!"
A messenger galloped past.
Ke Yanmou and others stood up, lined up, and walked into the military camp.
A handsome flag was erected in the center of the military stronghold.
On the west side of the flag lies a majestic beast.
And underneath the flag,
Sitting on a handsome chair was a majestic man wearing gilt armor.
The man originally had his eyes closed.
But when he opened his eyes and glanced over,
Even Brother Ke Yandong, who was quite arrogant as a young man, couldn't help but panic at this time.
This momentum, this majesty,
his own father,
There is no comparison with the other party!
Brother Ke Yandong remembered that he had met the Man King back then. Maybe, only the Man King could be as powerful as the Nanhou of Yan in front of him.
The most important thing is that Brother Ke Yandong also knows that the Yan Nanhou in front of him is not only an unparalleled leader in fighting, but he is also a truly strong warrior!
Even if you don't mobilize a single soldier, the other party can easily kill you if you want to.
Ke Yanmou immediately bowed down:
"The desert pariah Ke Yanmou meets Prince Jingnan."
said,
Ke Yanmo knelt down to worship again.
But this time I used it,
It is a way of paying homage by prostrating yourself to the ground.
None of the Keyan nobles dared to shout or show any dissatisfaction.
They all learn from the same thing,
A big salute to Tian Wujing.
"Ke Yanmo."
"The untouchables are here, please give me your instructions."
Tian Wujing stood up and walked over slowly.
Every step he took was like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's chest, bringing extremely terrible pressure.
And the white hair scattered outside because he was not wearing a helmet was even more frightening to see.
When the Keyan tribe moved, they had seen the savage Jingguan on the Wangjiang River and the mass graves of the Chu people under Yupan City.
These ones,
But they are all the work of the man in front of me!
at last,
When Tian Wujing walked up to Ke Yanmou,
Sweat was dripping from Ke Yanmo's face, and his son Ke Yandong beside him was even more unbearable, his body was trembling uncontrollably.
fear,
This is real fear,
The most primitive fear!
Just like sheep in the desert fear wild wolves,
In front of this man,
These desert warriors suddenly felt that they were the truly weak and powerless lambs.
Tian Wujing stood with his hands behind his back, his face slightly lowered, looking at Brother Ke Yandong who was kneeling beside Ke Yanmou, and said:
"This is your son?"
"Snapped!"
Because when I mention myself,
Brother Ke Yandong paralyzed on the ground, and then wanted to kneel down again, but was in a hurry for a while, and instead flopped on the ground, which could be described as extremely embarrassing.
But none of the nobles of the Keyan tribe around him dared to laugh at him, because their teeth were trembling.
The surrounding soldiers of the Jingnan Army continued to stand upright with weapons in hand, creating a truly elite murderous aura.
Only Pai Yao, who was still lying there leisurely and contentedly, yawned as if no one else was around.
it knows,
Here,
It’s not just the evil spirit of hundreds of battles emanating from the tens of thousands of Jingnan troops,
its owner,
He even took the initiative to release the terrifying aura of a third-grade peak warrior.
Under the double effect,
How could the group of barbarians in front of them be able to hold on?
Pixiu stuck out his tongue and licked his lips. As a mount, he should be the closest person to his master.
But I have to say that at this time, it was a little jealous of the person at Snow Customs.
"If I tell you the prince, it's Quanzi, brother Ke Yandong."
"Oh."
Tian Wujing nodded and continued:
"I am short of some generals around me. I have always heard that barbarian warriors are good at fighting and are brave in battle. I have always been jealous."
Ke Yanmo heard this,
Before others can react,
He said directly:
"Being able to follow the prince is a blessing earned by Keyan Mou III. Ke Yanmou and all the people of the Keyan tribe present here are willing to become the wings of the prince and serve him until death!
As for the Keyan tribe, if Quanzi leads them to Xueguan, there should be nothing wrong. Although Quanzi is young and lacks prestige within the clan, he is still rigorous in doing things.Please rest assured, Your Majesty! "
First, I supported the uncle from Xueguang Customs.
Ask your son again,
Besides, I am short of people around me.
Ke Yanmou already understood what it meant.
This is to stay here with the nobles in the clan and break away from the tribe, while the tribe will be led by his son to continue to Xueguan.
In this way, it will be much more convenient and easier for the uncle at Xuehaiguan to annex and control the Keyan tribe.
This is a forced annexation on the surface.
But you dare not say no,
You even have to take the initiative to cooperate with the other party to complete this plan!
because,
You have no second choice at all!
Tian Wujing nodded with satisfaction,
Road:
"it is good."
As soon as the word "good" comes out,
All the nobles of Keyan tribe present breathed a sigh of relief.
But because the Marquis Nan of Yan did not let them stand up, they continued to kneel fearfully.
"Brother Ke Yandong, raise your head and let me have a look."
Brother Ke Yandong immediately raised his head,
But I don’t know whether to show a flattering expression or a serious expression.
Anyway,
His expression was stiff, and he was obviously twitching from fear and nervousness.
This young master of the Keyan tribe was really out of his aura. He was crushed to the ground by Marquis Jingnan and rubbed against him repeatedly and mercilessly. It was just a simple first meeting, but it was enough to plant a shadow in his heart for half a lifetime.
"The king...the prince..."
"Tell me the name of General Snow Customs Officer."
"Zheng...Zheng...Zheng Fan."
"Ah."
Tian Wujing laughed.
Ke Yanmou immediately turned to glare at his son.
Fortunately, at this moment, father and son were truly connected, or perhaps under this terrifying pressure, Brother Ke Yandong's mind suddenly sped up a lot faster.
"Clap! Clap! Clap!"
Brother Ke Yandong slapped himself hard three times.
There was no energy left at all,
My nose started to bleed and the corners of my mouth were broken.
shouted:
"The untouchables are so ignorant that they dare to call Uncle Hirano by his first name. The untouchables deserve to die. The untouchables deserve to die. Please forgive me, please forgive me. Please forgive me, Uncle Hirano!"
The summit of the untouchables... No,
Do not,
I am the master of Keyan Department,
It’s Mr. Hirano, the commander-in-chief of Snow Customs! "
(End of this chapter)
"My son's surname is Zheng."
Logically speaking, these words should make Liang Cheng feel very uncomfortable.
After all, he is an ancient zombie with a arrogant heart. His master is called his son, so doesn't he have an "overlord" above his head out of thin air?
But that’s not how the account is calculated.
The origin of all this comes from the fact that the master of the family, Zheng Fan, followed the principle of doing more with less than doing more, regardless of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and went to the temple to worship without any trouble.
He kowtowed in front of the simple small altar table.
Shatuo Queshi had no heirs, and his tribe, the Shatuo tribe, had been wiped out.
He personally set up an altar to pay homage to himself in advance and to pay homage to the desert sand where he was born and raised.
But because of the kowtow attack on his master,
As a result, his master became the "blood-food inheritance" of Shatuo Queshi.
Just like when people celebrate festivals or the anniversary of the death of their ancestors, they go to the graves and burn paper as tribute.
The living offer blood and food to the deceased, and the deceased protects the living in peace and prosperity;
Talking about transaction is a bit too cold, because there are many emotional factors in it, and it can be called a tacit understanding.
The so-called "asking ancestors for blessings" is actually the truth.
For this reason, Sha Tuo Queshi said, "My son's surname is Zheng." That's right, because Zheng Fan kowtowed to him too much, and there was never a shortage of offerings during festivals. From time to time, Zheng Fan would go to Sha Tuo Que Shi with drinks, drinks and dishes. Tuoqueshi chat.
Although Shatuo Queshi is now a zombie, he has indeed saved Zheng Fan several times. Zombies are scary, but if you choose a normal person, would you like to have such a down-to-earth "zombie godfather"? People will nod without hesitation and shout, "I want, I want, I want."
Liang Cheng hesitated for a moment and then returned to the house.
It happened that Zheng Fan had just walked out with a bottle of wine, cut a plate of dried tofu and carried it.
Judging from this posture, he planned to go to Sha Tuo Que Shi to chat.
After all, so many things have happened today, which is equivalent to having a quarrel with the demon kings. The more at this time, the more people want to talk.
Liang Cheng suddenly felt that his master was a little pitiful. Each of the demon kings was a tough-minded person and had experienced enough ups and downs. Therefore, even if Xue San was beaten, Xue San could actually see things clearly. .
But Zheng Fan was not. Zheng Fan was running all the way, trying hard to keep up with the devil.
"Why are you back again?"
Zheng Fan asked with a smile.
Liang Cheng didn't hide it and said directly:
"My lord, my subordinate has just advanced."
"Oh, congratulations."
Zheng Fan seemed to have known this result for a long time and did not appear surprised.
They really know each other too well.
For example, when Xue San violated the rules this time, Zheng Fan naturally knew what he wanted to achieve.
"The bloodline of my subordinates has recovered a little, and now I can communicate with Shatuo Queshi... between zombies."
"Huh? Can you help the Shatuo Que Stone recover?"
"It may not be possible yet, but it should be possible to do something for him."
"You are a big zombie, and you don't know exactly what you can do?"
Faced with this question, Liang Cheng still answered very sincerely:
"My lord, before turning into a zombie, my subordinates were already very strong. After turning into zombies, my subordinates are directly like ancient zombies. So, what are the differences between lower-level zombies and what are their ability limitations? Is this really true? not very clear."
"..." Zheng Fan.
The truth often hurts the most.
Liang Cheng's words almost mean that I will reach my peak when I debut.
Just like a genius who entered college at the age of eleven or twelve,
If you insist on asking him to talk about life in junior high school and high school, he really doesn’t know.
"Let's go and take a look together."
"Yes, my lord."
.........
Because the Hirano House has not yet been completed, the basement suitable for the Shataku stone coffin has not yet been vacated. In this temporary house, the Shataku stone is placed in the most remote room in the back house. .
When Zheng Fan and Liang Cheng came over, they found that Mowan and the young Marquis had already arrived.
Zheng Fan, a martial artist, might not have sensed the movement of the coffin lid being blown away and the aura of Sha Tuo Que Stone leaking out, but it was impossible for the spirit body of Mowan not to be alarmed.
in the house,
The young Marquis was sitting on the edge of the coffin, very close to the Sha Tuo Que Stone.
You can only say,
After all, it is the child brought by Magic Pill, who is really cold and carefree;
Other aunties who take their children to see cats and dogs have to worry about not being scratched by the small animals. But here in Magic Pill, they directly bring their children to have close contact with a zombie.
This is countless times more dangerous than putting a child in a tiger cage.
On the other hand, I can only lament that the son of Marquis Jingnan is indeed very tough in fate.
If other children encounter something dirty and are slightly frightened, they may be possessed and fall ill;
The little Marquis has been playing with ghosts since he was a child, crawling on the coffin, but he has a good appetite, so eating is delicious.
When Zheng Fan came in, Shatuo Queshi, who was sitting in the coffin, slowly turned his head and looked at Zheng Fan.
He is still expressionless, but you can feel that he is paying attention to you.
Shatuo Queshi had interacted with Mowan, because Mowan was Zheng Fan's "son".
Shatuo Queshi also killed the culprits to protect the young marquis, because the young marquis was Zheng Fan's "godson".
You kowtowed to me,
I will protect your descendants.
Shatuo Queshi did it.
Whether he was alive or dead, he was a man of honor and trustworthiness.
Liang Cheng opened his mouth, and a hoarse friction sound came from his throat. His eyes were filled with green, like a ghostly fire.
As if being pulled by Liang Cheng, Shatuo Queshi also opened his mouth and began to respond hoarsely.
for a while,
Liang Cheng said:
"Lord, his consciousness is still very confused right now, but he can try to ask some questions."
Zheng Fan nodded and said:
"Ask him what he wants."
You can't always accept someone else's favor with peace of mind. If possible, Zheng Fan would also like to do something for him.
Liang Cheng began to ask about Sha Tuo Que Stone.
after awhile,
Liang Cheng responded:
"Lord, he said yellow sand, sheep, oases..."
"Is this what he said?"
"This is what my subordinates guessed."
"Oh."
Zheng Fan sighed and said:
"He's homesick."
What the deceased needs is to rest in his grave, and what he pursues is for his soul to return to his hometown.
This is nature, the instinct of all living things.
Leaving home when you are young and returning home when you are old is a kind of reincarnation and a destination that people pursue in life.
Shatuo Queshi's home is in the Shatuo tribe, but that tribe has been exterminated.
But his hometown is in the desert.
Zheng Fan felt a little guilty,
Because of his relationship, the Shatuo Que Stone was brought from the desert to Hutou City, then from Hutou City to Cuiliu Fort, and then from Cuiliu Fort to Shengle, and then continued eastward to Xuehaiguan. .
Every time he moved to another place, he got promoted and became rich, and his power became stronger and stronger;
But for Shatuo Queshi, it is getting further and further away from his hometown.
"Lord, this is just his extremely simple thought now, because his current consciousness is not mature enough."
"But it's also his truest thoughts."
Zheng Fan sighed and continued:
"In the future, I will help him rebuild a Shatuo Department."
Liang Cheng nodded and said: "This is what it should be."
Just then, the blind man came over.
He actually didn't need to pass the message, because with a little mental power, he could know where Zheng Fan was in the house.
The blind man walked in and noticed Liang Cheng first, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curve.
this wave,
It’s really an honest man’s turnaround.
Silly Tiehanhanfanli,
This cold zombie,
They were actually the first two people to advance.
Therefore, it is true that people should not be judged by their appearance, and people should not be completely believed in this thing.
"My lord, the military information sent from Yupan City."
Zheng Fan turned around, looked at the blind man, and asked:
"what happened?"
"The eldest prince's dowry, that is, the Keyan tribe, with nearly [-] tribesmen, is already crossing Wangjiang. When the letter was delivered, it should be crossing the river. Now that we have received this letter, I think the tribe that came here should have finished crossing by now. , maybe even on the way to the east."
"So fast?"
These ten thousand barbarian cavalry are what Uncle Zheng thinks about day and night.
With the extra [-] cavalry at Snow Customs, it would be easier to go north to the snowfields or go to Zhennanguan to hang out in front of the Chu people.
Unlike now, we can only concentrate on construction, and everything seems to be stretched thin.
Self-construction and self-reliance are certainly principles that must be adhered to, but since there are objects around you for plunder, it would be a shame not to do some primitive accumulation of bloody crimes.
At the same time, after mastering these [-] barbarian cavalry, although Uncle Zheng cannot compete with the strength of the Zhenbei Army commanders like Li Fusheng, he can still firmly sit in the second echelon of Dayan commanders.
We don't talk about the title here, only the number of soldiers and horses under his command.
The Zhenbei Army has six towns of troops and 30 cavalry. There are nearly [-] cavalry under the general soldiers in each town. Even if some excess are eliminated, there will definitely be [-]. Uncle Zheng is only half of them now.
Of course, in the past few years, the Zhenbei Army has suffered great losses due to the wars in the north and south, but it can replenish its recruits quickly.
Zheng Fan looked at the blind man and said:
"Tents and supplies for reception will be prepared immediately, and supporting support work must follow."
The blind man nodded and said: "My lord, here is an official document from the Ministry of Revenue. Here is the name of the money and grain that was escorted to our Xue Customs by the Ministry of Revenue in the first half of this year."
Having said this, the blind man smiled and said:
"My lord, it's the actual amount."
"Real amount?"
The Yan State has always provided only [-]% of the money and food for the troops stationed in Jin. In some places, it is even less. For the shortfall, local generals have to rely on themselves to provide enough food and clothing.
It stands to reason that Snow Customs is in a key location and there are many places that need support, but it would be very interesting if they can give more than [-]%.
The actual amount, without any discount, is all given to you.
Even in later generations, the phenomenon of geese plucking the feathers of special money and food items falling from above will inevitably happen, let alone now.
"My lord, it's not just the actual amount. The losses during transportation have also been made up. At the same time, the categories of money and grain and the various baggage weights, how can I put it, if calculated, are more than the original so-called actual amount." Well, it’s more than [-]% more.”
The so-called "money and food" does not simply refer to money and a type of food. There are too many ways to manipulate it.
Zheng Fan believes that the blind man and Siniang are proficient in this, but since the blind man said that this time it is really full, it means that the money and food escorted by the Ministry of Revenue this time is nearly three times more than usual. times.
"Who is responsible?" Zheng Fan immediately figured out the meaning.
As a warlord leader who leads troops abroad, he naturally knows why there are people in the court who want to be officials, especially this kind of "unbelievable" high-strength milk.
If you are not a relative or an acquaintance, why should someone be so nice to you?
Even if this is a expenditure from the treasury, the person who manages the treasury is still a living person after all, right?
The blind man silently took out another letter and said:
"My lord, this comes together with the documents from the Household Department. It is a letter from the Sixth Prince. The Sixth Prince is currently observing the Household Department, which probably means he is an intern at the Household Department, but obviously..."
The blind man didn't say the following words, but everyone can definitely understand them.
Uncle Zheng took a deep breath,
And spit it out slowly,
He couldn't help but open his arms and stretch.
Road:
"It feels so good, so comfortable."
The blind man agreed: "No, in the past the Sixth Prince could only rely on his own business to support us, just like the trickle of water, it can be used to quench thirst just right;
Now, the state treasury is being used to support us. This amount of milk is very comfortable. "
"It's up to you to reply to Xiao Liuzi's letter."
"Yes, my lord."
"In addition, send another letter to Marquis Jingnan to express my regards."
The Marquis of Jingnan is in charge of Fengxin City, but in the whole land of Three Jins, who can speak the best? Even a three-year-old child knows this answer.
The so-called greetings mean to urge the money and food sent from Yingdu. Isn't it about time?
At the same time, when the money and grain from the Ministry of Household Affairs are escorted over, you have to ask the Marquis to help take care of it. Those things are "Zheng" and cannot be picked apart by others.
Since he is a close confidant, he must be treated like a close confidant.
"Yes, my subordinates understand."
At this time, Liang Cheng asked:
"My lord, since Keyan's tribe has crossed Wangjiang, shouldn't we send a team of troops to respond?"
Hearing this, Zheng Fan nodded thoughtfully and said:
"Ask Jin Shuke to lead a thousand riders. He is a barbarian and can be easily communicated with."
I heard that Jin Shuke was assigned to respond.
Liang Cheng and the blind man naturally understood what was going on.
This boy's previous act of loyalty was not in vain. This road has become much wider.
Now that I have said this,
Zheng Fan said to Liang Cheng again:
"Let's put the matter of sending troops to the snowy fields on hold for now, and wait until the barbarian cavalry arrives before we can plan a new plan."
I mentioned before that I would lead troops to the snowfield, but it was actually to relax and vent my anger.
However, Uncle Zheng is not King You of Zhou after all. Military matters and personal preferences can still be distinguished. Since it will not take long for the troops at his disposal to be doubled, then it will undoubtedly be very difficult to alert the snake at this time. Stupid thing.
"Yes, my subordinates understand."
"By the way, blind man, hurry up and formulate a battle plan with that barbarian king, and then start preparing for the ideological and political education of the [-] barbarian cavalry.
By autumn at the latest, we must launch a major attack on the snow plains. Otherwise, with so many people inside and outside the snow customs, it will be difficult to live comfortably next winter unless we plunder them. "
"Don't worry, Lord, my subordinates will take care of it."
"Okay, I'll be alone for a while."
"Yes, my lord."
"Yes, my lord."
The blind man and Liang Cheng walked out, one holding the stone where the magic pill was, and the other holding the little Marquis.
After walking outside,
The blind man knocked the stone in his hand and joked:
"A fool and a zombie have both advanced. How long will it take for you, my biological son, to wait?"
Magic Pill ignored the blind man's instigation.
The little Marquis in Liang Cheng's arms stretched out his hand to rub Liang Cheng's body. He could feel that Liang Cheng's skin was different from that of ordinary people.
"call………"
The blind man shook his waist and said:
"Is that what it looks like?"
I'm asking about the way to advance, is it that kind?
Liang Cheng nodded: "I thought you would stay here for an excuse."
"To be honest, being told by several people a day will always make you tired. It's like chicken soup. If you drink too much in a short period of time, you will definitely suffer from diaphragm. We are not in a hurry. I will wait for the master's sensory emotions to cool down a little before I go on. .
After all, if you don't succeed the first time, the same sincere words will definitely be boring the second time. "
The blind man had everything figured out.
"As long as you know what's going on." Liang Cheng wouldn't worry about the blind man.
"Actually, we are quite good. Do you know who has the hardest time?"
"Xue San?"
"San'er is in trouble this time, but it's not a big problem. The most difficult thing is actually the person in my hand plus Siniang, one is my biological son and the other is my bedmate. I know why they failed to succeed this time. What?
Because the closer you are to someone, the harder it is to tell the truth. "
said,
The blind man pointed at his chest:
"It's easy to get hurt."
"Buzz!"
The magic pill flew up and hit the blind man directly on the head!
The blind man didn't evade or even resist. He just stood there and shouted directly:
"A Cheng, save me!"
"Snapped!"
Liang Cheng stretched out his hand and grabbed the stone that hit the blind man.
Liang Cheng, who now has the advantage in strength, is not very difficult to deal with the magic pill. Of course, the premise is that everyone only fights at an ordinary level and does not face life and death.
The blind man adjusted his collar calmly, not feeling that his words were annoying at all, but continued:
"It hurts the heart, but everything has two sides. The wounds between people who are close to each other are actually easier to heal."
immediately,
The blind man bent down, put his face forward, reached out and poked twice on the stone where the magic pill was.
Road:
"Don't you, the master, know that Siniang's love for him is not pure love between a man and a woman?"
paused,
The blind man said again:
"As Lord, don't you know that your biggest dream is to be a filial son?"
……
in the house,
Shatuo Queshi, who was sitting before, had already laid back, closed his eyes, and remained motionless, really like an ordinary corpse.
Zheng Fan personally adjusted the position of the cushions and pillows in the coffin, and then helped him cover the precious silk blanket.
Subsequently,
Zheng Fan sat on the ground,
Facing the coffin,
Put the food and wine on the table,
Two pairs of chopsticks and two bowls.
When he estimated that the blind man and Liang Cheng outside had gone far,
Zheng Fan raised his wine glass and pointed it at the coffin.
Road:
"Let's go first."
……
Keyan's migration team is on the way.
On the north and south sides of the team, there were [-] Jingnan Army cavalry accompanying them.
This is the treatment this tribe has received since entering the Yan Kingdom from Beifeng County.
Over the past hundreds of years, many barbarian tribes have migrated to the Yan State, and some barbarians have even served as officials in the Yan State's court. However, this is the first time for a large-scale tribal migration like the Keyan tribe.
Ke Yanmou, the leader of Keyan tribe, was riding on horseback with a wine bag in his hand, which contained mare's milk wine.
He was half drunk all the way. During the tribe's migration, his eldest son, Ke Yandong, was responsible for all matters that required the clan leader's intervention.
The customs in Yan State and Jin State are indeed much better than the desert, but the desert is his hometown. If it were not for the consideration of the whole clan, old and young, he, Ke Yanmou, would never accept the conditions of migration.
and,
Or as a dowry for the barbarian king to marry his daughter!
But, there is really no way, people always have to live.
Brother Ke Yandong rode his horse to his father's side and reported:
"Father, dozens of clan members are sick today."
It is normal for people to be acclimatized to such a long-distance migration. Not only the young and old within the clan, but even the warriors within the clan will inevitably fall ill.
"Send it to the priest to take care of it. In addition, please ask the Yan people to send some more doctors to treat my people."
"Yes, father."
"Brother Dong."
"Father?"
"You don't need to come to me to report these things in the future. You are an adult. You are the young master of the Keyan tribe and the future leader of our Keyan tribe. You should learn to use your own wisdom and bravery to lead the tribe. Moving forward.”
Whether it is a Central Plains dynasty or a desert barbarian tribe, the battle for heirs is always a taboo and sensitive topic, because it involves the most fundamental struggle for power.
But there is an exception in the Keyan tribe, because Ke Yanmou took over the Keyan tribe from his brother, and he only has one son, Brother Ke Yandong, and the rest are all daughters.
Therefore, Ke Yanbu had no choice when it came to his future successor.
When the team passed through Yanjing, Ke Yanmou learned that the current Emperor Yan actually had seven sons. Instead of being jealous, he felt a little pity for the Emperor Yan.
Of course, these words cannot be said casually, because the former Emperor of the Yan people has now become His Majesty the Emperor above his head.
After Keyan's tribe entered Yan, they would not have the chance to return to their desert homeland in a short period of time. Therefore, the whole clan had to rely on the breath of the Yan people to survive.
At the same time, the Yan people obviously did not trust them, so they moved them far from the west to the Xueguan Pass in the east. Along the way, no matter where the team moved, they were followed by more than [-] Yan cavalry nearby.
Although Keyan's tribe can also organize thousands of warriors, after all, all the women, old and young, are here, so it is impossible and dare not have any conflict with the Yan people.
"Father, you are as strong as an eagle in the desert. Besides, there are seven elders in my clan. You have extraordinary experience and wisdom. I still need to learn from you."
As the only heir, Brother Ke Yandong was not being hypocritically polite when he said these words.
Since he is an only child, what should he be worried about?
What should be yours must be yours.
Even if his father gives birth to another son now, it will not pose any threat to him because of the big age gap.
When one's status is firmly guaranteed, one will naturally give more thought to public considerations.
"call………"
Ke Yanmo smiled, shook his head, raised his neck and took a big sip of kumiss.
"Brother Dong, what I'm most worried about right now is whether the Xuehai Customs can prepare food for our tribe to survive along the way. Except for the war horses in the tribe, they are better protected. As for the other cattle and sheep, they are already on the way. It was almost consumed on the way.
If the uncle from Yan in Xueguan cannot provide us with enough food and leather, it will be very difficult for our tribe this winter. "
For the desert barbarians, the livestock herd is a means of production, just like the fields of the people in the Central Plains. Now that the livestock herd has almost withered due to migration, it is impossible to let the tribesmen learn to farm, right?
Even if it is farming, it is too late at this time.
Brother Ke Yandong seemed very calm and said directly:
"Father, don't worry about this. There is a snowfield to the north of Xueguan. The savages in the snowfield also graze their cattle. We are short of livestock. When the time comes, my son will lead the warriors of the tribe to rob the savages!"
At worst, a percentage of the things we snatched back will be given to Uncle Yan from Xuehaiguan. We can't possibly watch our people starve to death and freeze to death. "
Barbarians look down on savages. This is a real chain of contempt.
Even though the savages had once ravaged the Jin region, the barbarians still felt that the savages were not considered worthy.
"Brother Dong, after arriving at the Snow Customs, be careful not to act rashly on the warriors of the clan, otherwise, big problems will occur."
"Father, I know what you are worried about. We are willing to sacrifice our lives for the Yan people, but the Yan people must not let us starve to death!"
"No matter what, you need to change your temper. Since our clan has moved inland, we must be careful in everything we do."
"I know, father, I will not take the initiative to provoke the Yan people."
In the past hundred years, because of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion and the Zhenbei Army, the desert barbarians actually had a kind of fear towards the Yan people.
"woo woo woo woo!!!!!!!!!!"
at this time,
A horn suddenly sounded.
Immediately afterwards, the two Jingnan Army cavalry originally guarding Keyan's tribe suddenly got excited and began to accelerate.
This sudden change caused Ke Yanbu to panic.
Brother Ke Yandong subconsciously thought that the Yan people were planning to take action, and immediately wanted to raise the horns on his body to summon the warriors of the tribe to gather around him and prepare to fight.
"lay down!"
Ke Yanmu whipped over and pulled the horns out of his son's hands.
"If the Yan people want to attack us, do they need to wait until now?"
at the same time,
From the east, groups of Yan people's cavalry galloped out. The Yan people's knights holding high the black dragon flag walked through the advancing team of Keyan's tribe without any scruples.
"Father, what's going on?"
Brother Ke Yandong could now see that the Yan people did not mean to fight.
Ke Yanmo dropped the wine bottle in his hand on the ground, straightened his clothes, put on his hat, and said slowly:
"When we passed through Yingdu, didn't we say we wanted to visit the Nanhou who was from Yan and had the same name as the Northern Marquis? But it turned out that he was not in Yingdu, but in Fengxin City to the east of Wangjiang River.
Now that we have crossed Wangjiang River, who is the nobleman of Yan State who will be in front of us? "
said,
Ke Yanmo then pointed at the excited Jingnan Army knights around him.
"Who else could make these Yan troops so excited except the Marquis Nan from Yan?"
Ke Yanbu could become a thorn in the side of the Barbarian King, and its leader Ke Yanmu could not be a drunkard. After seeing the excitement of these Yan knights, he understood clearly how important the Yan Nanhou's status was in the Yan army. Sublime.
Even though he, as the leader of the tribe, could only command two or three thousand direct soldiers and horses at most, the Marquis of Nan, a native of Yan, could make these Yan soldiers love him from the bottom of their hearts. These soldiers felt it was a great blessing.
Such prestige...
Ke Yanmou narrowed his eyes.
at this time,
What flashed in the mind of the leader of Ke Yan was,
If the Marquis of Nan from Yan wants to rebel, and if my tribe follows him, will our tribe get the chance to return to the desert after he succeeds?
You can't blame Ke Yanmo for thinking of this, because since he left the desert, he has been enduring the pain and humiliation of leaving his hometown day and night. Returning home has become a knot in his heart.
"The King of Jingnan has arrived, please kneel down to greet him!"
"The King of Jingnan has arrived, please kneel down to greet him!"
"The King of Jingnan has arrived, please kneel down to greet him!"
Shouts came from the mouths of the Jingnan Army knights.
Although the imperial court's decree had already come down, the king of Jingnan was removed from his title and returned to the title of marquis again.
But these Jingnan soldiers will not change their words. Since they have become a prince, they will always be a prince. That is what we like to call you. Can your court control you?
It's okay to change your name and not call him Wang Ye.
Then I can only change my name to Your Majesty!
"Brother Dong, summon the elders of the clan and come with me to meet the Nanhou of Yan."
Ke Yan's reaction was very docile. Not only did the tribesmen immediately kneel down and worship after seeing the king's flag, but all the noble elders in the tribe also removed their weapons and left their horses under the leadership of the leader Ke Yanmou. , came to the temporary military tent very respectfully.
Outside the military tent, there were 1 Jingnan Army cavalry ready to attack, while more than [-] cavalry were cruising outside.
The war in which the Eastern Expeditionary Army expelled the barbarians and Chu people had just ended. Although the Yan army suffered heavy losses, the morale and self-confidence created by the victory after victory could be seen with the naked eye!
And after the war, the Marquis of Jingnan spared the troops of the Three Jin Dynasties except Li Fusheng and Li Bao who originally belonged to the Zhenbei Army. All the troops and horses were reorganized and integrated into the Jingnan Army system.
Therefore, it can be said that the losses suffered by the Yan Army in the last round of war have not been made up, but the Jingnan Army is definitely stronger.
Looking at this neat military appearance,
Ke Yanmou took a deep breath and knelt down directly outside the fence before he entered the stronghold.
"Ke Yanmou, the leader of Keyan Tribe, led his tribe to pay homage to Prince Jingnan. His Majesty is a thousand years old!"
The leader knelt down, and behind him, Brother Ke Yandong and other elders and nobles also knelt down.
Brother Ke Yandong was very close to his father. After kneeling down, he couldn't help but whisper:
"Are the Yan people trying to kill our majesty?"
Putting up such a large array is not a battle, but of course it is a deterrent.
This method is actually very common in the desert. Sometimes when there is a conflict between two tribes, the stronger tribe will often choose to send an army of warriors from its own tribe to visit the enemy tribe. If there is a gap in strength, If there is a huge disparity, hostile tribes will also choose to give in.
Ke Yanmo shook his head and responded to his son quickly in a low voice:
"No, does the Southern Marquis of Yan have nothing to do and does he need to go out of his way to show off in front of us? You know, he is on an equal footing with the Northern Marquis.
He was specifically supporting people, the uncle at Xuehaiguan. It was said that the uncle was his confidant, and it seemed true.
As a master, he was actually willing to go out of his way to support his men and remove their thorns.
Thinking about it this way, after we arrive at Xueguan, if we make good friends with the uncle from Yan people, life for the tribe should not be too difficult. "
"Supporting others?" Brother Dong was stunned for a moment. After all, he was still young and could not react as quickly as his father on these matters.
“Click…………Click…………”
The door of the military camp was opened.
"By order of the prince, the leader of Keyan tribe is summoned to appear before him!"
A messenger galloped past.
Ke Yanmou and others stood up, lined up, and walked into the military camp.
A handsome flag was erected in the center of the military stronghold.
On the west side of the flag lies a majestic beast.
And underneath the flag,
Sitting on a handsome chair was a majestic man wearing gilt armor.
The man originally had his eyes closed.
But when he opened his eyes and glanced over,
Even Brother Ke Yandong, who was quite arrogant as a young man, couldn't help but panic at this time.
This momentum, this majesty,
his own father,
There is no comparison with the other party!
Brother Ke Yandong remembered that he had met the Man King back then. Maybe, only the Man King could be as powerful as the Nanhou of Yan in front of him.
The most important thing is that Brother Ke Yandong also knows that the Yan Nanhou in front of him is not only an unparalleled leader in fighting, but he is also a truly strong warrior!
Even if you don't mobilize a single soldier, the other party can easily kill you if you want to.
Ke Yanmou immediately bowed down:
"The desert pariah Ke Yanmou meets Prince Jingnan."
said,
Ke Yanmo knelt down to worship again.
But this time I used it,
It is a way of paying homage by prostrating yourself to the ground.
None of the Keyan nobles dared to shout or show any dissatisfaction.
They all learn from the same thing,
A big salute to Tian Wujing.
"Ke Yanmo."
"The untouchables are here, please give me your instructions."
Tian Wujing stood up and walked over slowly.
Every step he took was like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's chest, bringing extremely terrible pressure.
And the white hair scattered outside because he was not wearing a helmet was even more frightening to see.
When the Keyan tribe moved, they had seen the savage Jingguan on the Wangjiang River and the mass graves of the Chu people under Yupan City.
These ones,
But they are all the work of the man in front of me!
at last,
When Tian Wujing walked up to Ke Yanmou,
Sweat was dripping from Ke Yanmo's face, and his son Ke Yandong beside him was even more unbearable, his body was trembling uncontrollably.
fear,
This is real fear,
The most primitive fear!
Just like sheep in the desert fear wild wolves,
In front of this man,
These desert warriors suddenly felt that they were the truly weak and powerless lambs.
Tian Wujing stood with his hands behind his back, his face slightly lowered, looking at Brother Ke Yandong who was kneeling beside Ke Yanmou, and said:
"This is your son?"
"Snapped!"
Because when I mention myself,
Brother Ke Yandong paralyzed on the ground, and then wanted to kneel down again, but was in a hurry for a while, and instead flopped on the ground, which could be described as extremely embarrassing.
But none of the nobles of the Keyan tribe around him dared to laugh at him, because their teeth were trembling.
The surrounding soldiers of the Jingnan Army continued to stand upright with weapons in hand, creating a truly elite murderous aura.
Only Pai Yao, who was still lying there leisurely and contentedly, yawned as if no one else was around.
it knows,
Here,
It’s not just the evil spirit of hundreds of battles emanating from the tens of thousands of Jingnan troops,
its owner,
He even took the initiative to release the terrifying aura of a third-grade peak warrior.
Under the double effect,
How could the group of barbarians in front of them be able to hold on?
Pixiu stuck out his tongue and licked his lips. As a mount, he should be the closest person to his master.
But I have to say that at this time, it was a little jealous of the person at Snow Customs.
"If I tell you the prince, it's Quanzi, brother Ke Yandong."
"Oh."
Tian Wujing nodded and continued:
"I am short of some generals around me. I have always heard that barbarian warriors are good at fighting and are brave in battle. I have always been jealous."
Ke Yanmo heard this,
Before others can react,
He said directly:
"Being able to follow the prince is a blessing earned by Keyan Mou III. Ke Yanmou and all the people of the Keyan tribe present here are willing to become the wings of the prince and serve him until death!
As for the Keyan tribe, if Quanzi leads them to Xueguan, there should be nothing wrong. Although Quanzi is young and lacks prestige within the clan, he is still rigorous in doing things.Please rest assured, Your Majesty! "
First, I supported the uncle from Xueguang Customs.
Ask your son again,
Besides, I am short of people around me.
Ke Yanmou already understood what it meant.
This is to stay here with the nobles in the clan and break away from the tribe, while the tribe will be led by his son to continue to Xueguan.
In this way, it will be much more convenient and easier for the uncle at Xuehaiguan to annex and control the Keyan tribe.
This is a forced annexation on the surface.
But you dare not say no,
You even have to take the initiative to cooperate with the other party to complete this plan!
because,
You have no second choice at all!
Tian Wujing nodded with satisfaction,
Road:
"it is good."
As soon as the word "good" comes out,
All the nobles of Keyan tribe present breathed a sigh of relief.
But because the Marquis Nan of Yan did not let them stand up, they continued to kneel fearfully.
"Brother Ke Yandong, raise your head and let me have a look."
Brother Ke Yandong immediately raised his head,
But I don’t know whether to show a flattering expression or a serious expression.
Anyway,
His expression was stiff, and he was obviously twitching from fear and nervousness.
This young master of the Keyan tribe was really out of his aura. He was crushed to the ground by Marquis Jingnan and rubbed against him repeatedly and mercilessly. It was just a simple first meeting, but it was enough to plant a shadow in his heart for half a lifetime.
"The king...the prince..."
"Tell me the name of General Snow Customs Officer."
"Zheng...Zheng...Zheng Fan."
"Ah."
Tian Wujing laughed.
Ke Yanmou immediately turned to glare at his son.
Fortunately, at this moment, father and son were truly connected, or perhaps under this terrifying pressure, Brother Ke Yandong's mind suddenly sped up a lot faster.
"Clap! Clap! Clap!"
Brother Ke Yandong slapped himself hard three times.
There was no energy left at all,
My nose started to bleed and the corners of my mouth were broken.
shouted:
"The untouchables are so ignorant that they dare to call Uncle Hirano by his first name. The untouchables deserve to die. The untouchables deserve to die. Please forgive me, please forgive me. Please forgive me, Uncle Hirano!"
The summit of the untouchables... No,
Do not,
I am the master of Keyan Department,
It’s Mr. Hirano, the commander-in-chief of Snow Customs! "
