The devil is coming

Chapter 404
The princess's arrival is just a small episode. The specific situation still depends on how she comes and what arrangements the court will give her. For example, who will accompany her, this is very important.
Before getting the exact information, no matter how much analysis you do, it will just add some words. The most important thing is that Uncle Zheng is not the same person who used to kneel down in front of the princess to choose whether to be a servant of the Li family or a nursing school. Lieutenant's little husband.
At the end of the barbecue,
Hailan Yanggu, the leader of Hailan tribe, came and knelt down respectfully on one side.
The Savage King had already sat back in his carriage and was not allowed to show anyone.
Monk Kongyuan and Monk Fan wiped the oil stains on their hands and stood up silently. The master and the disciple flicked their cassock corners almost simultaneously, and immediately changed from the meat-eating monks to the monks with immortal demeanor. image.
Uncle Zheng stood up and walked to Hailan Yanggu, who buried his head even lower.
There is nothing that can be done about it. After all, the Hailan tribe is too close to the Snow Customs. The Naiman tribe was so powerful at the time, but it was destroyed by the Xue Customs. The small size of the Hailan tribe can I really can't bear my uncle's anger.
"These two eminent monks want to come to the snowy plains to preach Buddhism and save all sentient beings. Please take good care of them. If anything goes wrong, there will be no need for the Hailan Department to exist."
It is a very dishonorable thing to always use genocide as an issue.
But it is really efficient, convenient and fast, and it is easy to become addicted to using it, just like those emperors who always like to talk about killing the nine tribes.
Hailanyanggu immediately kowtowed and said:
"Please rest assured, uncle, the Hailan Department will do its best to take good care of the two Buddhas."
Zheng Fan nodded, said nothing more, turned around, and got into his carriage.
In the carriage, the sword master was already sitting inside.
"Are those two monks staying in the snowy field?" Sword Master asked.
Zheng Fan nodded. Today's picnic was partly to relax, and it was also a farewell to Master Kong Yuan and his disciples.
The Sword Master smiled and said: "Destroying his body is to treat the symptoms, but digging up his faith is to cure the root cause."
"Hey, Lao Yu, it's really impressive that you can see this."
"That's what the barbarian king told me."
"Ha ha."
Zheng Fan thought that Master Sword Master had also learned something about this. After all, in the early years, Master Sword Master had done many things for the country and the people, but none of them ended well.
"Besides, don't you Yan people use the same method in our Jin land? Just the imperial examination to select scholars is to dig out the roots of our Jin people."
"We are all the remnants of the Xia Dynasty, and we are one family. Now we are nothing more than dividing up after being separated for a long time. Besides, let’s not talk about other small countries. Let’s just say that these four major countries have been fighting for hundreds of years, and many of their people have been displaced. Only unification can end the troubled times. By then, the snowy plains, barbarians, chieftains in the southwest of Qian Kingdom, Daze and Shanyue of Chu Kingdom will actually no longer be a problem."
"What you say makes sense, but what would you say if you were not the general soldier of the Yan people but a Ganren or Chu people?"
"I will say that Mr. Yanhuang is just dreaming!"
"Hahaha."
"Hahaha."
In the carriage, Zheng Fan and the Sword Master looked at each other and laughed.
A Ming, who was driving the car at the front, took out his wine bottle and silently took a sip of blood.
"The Sixth Prince almost died this time. To be honest, I was a little frightened."
The sword master heard this and said:
"Actually, there are many capable people and strangers in the world. The official figures do not represent the majority. In fact, there are many hidden in the wilderness, and there are even some unknown sects.
However, even so, the helpers around the princess were indeed luxurious. "
"I'm very worried now that Li Liangshen will escort the princess here."
"Isn't Li Liangshen a general of the garrison outside Yanjing City?"
"Who can guess what our Emperor will do? In fact, the Queen's death may not be without some tricks."
"It is indeed difficult to keep things clean in the palace." The swordsman sighed, "By the way, since the queen has left, why didn't you go see Tian Wujing?"
"It's inconvenient. I'm rushing over now. In the eyes of outsiders, does it mean that I, a plain man, have gone over to persuade Marquis Jingnan to rebel again?"
"You don't want to rebel?" After the sword master asked this question, his face showed a look like you were lying.
"If I really want to do something, I will only wait for the military order from Marquis Jingnan."
"So, people, that's it. Previously, they said that the unification of the world would end the war, and that the Xia would deal with the outside world and calm the internal and external affairs. Now it falls on yourself, and you still want to rebel and seize power."
"A slogan is a slogan, your own life is your own life, there is no contradiction. Let's get back to the point, that princess is a trouble.
Since she dared to do that to the Sixth Prince, maybe she would do the same to me. "
"The person next to the princess, the seventh uncle that Mr. Bei told me earlier, I have the impression that this person is unsociable in swordsmanship, and he follows the path of death in the morning and evening. He can be described as 'a sword close to his body' He couldn’t be more apt.”
Because his strongest sword can only be used once in a lifetime.
"Go on."
"His sword looks powerful, but in fact it is not that scary. Just keep people by your side. As long as someone can help you block the sword, the threat to you will be reduced by half."
hear this,
Uncle Zheng subconsciously touched his chest.
"As for Li Liangshen, I once competed with Li Liangshen. Li Liangshen's swordsmanship is simple and vigorous, and his energy is endless. His sword is not the sharpest, but his physique can be called the strongest among swordsmen."
"How do you compare with him?"
"This is not a chess pair, how can we compare like this?"
"There's nothing you can do about it. Just think of me as a layman, and give me a Bibi like this, so that I can have some ideas."
"I fought with Li Liangshen and it was a draw."
"Oh."
"After I lost to Tian Wujing, I felt that I could be a little better than Li Liangshen."
"Oh?"
"After Snow Customs, if I can recover now, I can beat him."
"Oh!"
"But I know my body is not easy to recover. Being able to sit there and eat a skewer of barbecue today has exceeded my original expectations."
"It's not urgent. You take your time. I'm not asking you to go out and fight for Li Liangshen right now. With you here, I have something to think about, and I feel confident in my heart."
The Sword Master opened the curtain, looked outside, and said, "It's autumn now, and winter is coming soon."
"The imperial court has given us enough money and food, and the escort from Yingdu has also given us enough. In addition, we have gained a lot from the last attack on the Naiman tribe. This winter, there will be no problem.
After this winter is over, everything will truly recover and get on the right track. "
"I really admire your management skills. If Emperor Jin had this ability back then, even the capital city would not be in such a state of decline."
"It still depends on the overall environment. At the beginning, the Jin Dynasty was surrounded by three families, and it was impossible for any of them to give the royal family a chance to make a comeback."
"Too."
At this time, A Ming, who was driving the car in front, shouted:
"My lord, we are home."
"Okay, have a good rest."
Zheng Fan said goodbye to Juggernaut and asked Juggernaut to get out of the car first.
Then, the team moved on.
The prison car where the Savage King was located was moved down and sent to the residence of Uncle Hirano who had already moved in.
Such an important prisoner is naturally the safest to be kept close to him.
Moreover, the wall separating the Savage King's prison is where the stone coffin of Sha Tuo Que is placed. The two of them will not feel lonely if they are together.
Before being transported away by the soldiers, the Savage King opened the black cloth, exposed his head, and said to Zheng Fan:
"Uncle, you took me out for some fun. It was really hard work and hard work. I really feel bad about being here."
Uncle Zheng smiled and nodded,
To the Savage King:
"Good night, sweet dreams."
The Savage King who wanted to say something more could only be sent back to the dungeon. After being transferred to the prison, he leaned against the wall and huddled there. He reached into his arms and took out a small and exquisite embroidered shoe.
silently,
Put it in front of your nose,
Take a deep sniff,
Well,
It seems that because she is coming,
This taste,
It's even heavier.
……
"My lord, the princess is here, how do you plan to entertain him?"
Siniang asked while squeezing Zheng Fan's shoulders.
"How else can you entertain her? If the soldiers come, the water will be blocked and the earth will cover her up. That woman is a trouble. I really don't want to mess with her."
"My lord, I think that since the princess is the first woman with status that my lord has seen since he woke up in this world, and she was disguised as a man and wearing armor when we first met her, I think this is fate. "
"What are you talking about?"
"The slave family just feels that, otherwise, my lord, please take the princess into custody and let the princess call her sister at home. Just like now, the princess should come in with a fruit plate and feed us grapes.
The slave ate one, vomited it out, and stared at her, deliberately making things difficult for her: her teeth were sore.
Then the princess knelt on the ground and shouted to her sister to forgive her.
Yo yo yo, how interesting this is. "
"Ah."
"The Nu family didn't say anything sarcastic. This is what the Nu family really thinks."
"Okay, okay, aren't you very busy? Why do you still have time to think about these things?"
"Working is for a better life. This is not a contradiction, Lord."
"Come on, do you really think I am Pan An? Only you can like me, the rest, haha."
"My lord, you are so humble. Based on your current status and my future development, if I were that princess, my lord would think that I would accept you as my subordinate. It’s also a very good deal.”
"Although she is no longer a princess, it is difficult for her to marry someone casually. She can't cuckold the Ji family in such a hurry, right?"
"How did Xiaozhuang treat Hong Chengchou? How did he treat Dorgon?"
"That's a TV show."
"It's not just men who find it convenient to have no status. Sometimes, women also find it convenient. It's just a pity..."
"What a pity?"
"It's a pity that the princess is not married, so it doesn't seem to be in line with the Lord's taste, hehehe."
"Fourth mother-in-law."
"Ok?"
"Can we stop talking about the princess and talk about something else?"
"for example?"
“Like what color is it today?”
...
Zhennanguan Pass was once the first line of defense for the Situ family in Jin Dynasty to resist the Chu State. However, when the barbarians entered the pass and swept into Dacheng, this majestic pass was naturally captured by the Chu people.
Xue Rang, the original guard of Zhennan Pass, also surrendered to the Chu State and was named Marquis of Guiyi by the regent of Chu State. He retained the original 5 troops and horses at Nanmen Pass under his command, and at the same time added two Chu armies. , a total of [-] people.
Of course, as a reciprocal exchange, Xue Rang has also sent all his family members, old and young, to live in the Chu Kingdom, and they can be regarded as hostages.
At this time, Xue Rang stood on the city wall and looked to the north under the night sky.
"Are you still not used to standing in this direction?"
A middle-aged man appeared behind Xue Rang.
"General Nian, you are laughing at me again." Xue Rang said with a smile.
This man was Nian Yao, who was known as the number one eagle dog in the army under the Regent of Da Chu.
In Dayan, there was an inspirational example of Bo Ping Ye, who became a civilian servant and became a knight in just a few years. Then Nian Yao, who was born as a servant in the mansion, was a model for the rise of Chu State's military.
Especially in Chu, a country that attaches great importance to birth and family inheritance, Nian Yao's success and rise to power are even more rare and valuable.
Nian Yao teased Xue Rang for not being accustomed to the direction he was standing in. He meant that as the guard of the south gate of Dacheng Kingdom, Xue Rang spent most of his time standing on the city wall facing south, guarding against the Chu army. Now, he faced north and wanted to guard against the Chu army. Beware of Yan people.
"Does General Xue understand what the regent means about this matter?"
Xue Rang nodded and said, "Understood."
"Just understand, General Xue. I, Lao Yao, am a rough man. I don't like to beat around the bush when talking or doing things. This time, I, Da Chu, owe you."
"The general has spoken harshly."
"Don't be serious, don't be serious. The Yan people betrayed their trust first and massacred [-] soldiers of our Qingluan Army. This revenge must be avenged. General Xue can rest assured of one thing. When the Wangjiang River froze, our Dachu Navy suffered We are unable to reinforce Yupan City. Today at Nanmen Pass, Da Chu is behind you, and the [-] Da Chu royal family's forbidden troops led by this general are also behind you."
"General, there is actually something unclear about the general."
"But it doesn't matter."
"When the two countries fight, war will lead to war, and peace will lead to peace. Why does our country of Chu always..."
"It doesn't look grand? Hey, that's how I see it too. The last time the Qingluan Army was destroyed, it was for this reason. But there's nothing we can do about it. It's also difficult for the regent. The late emperor collapsed too quickly and was caught off guard, which made me Dachu has been in turmoil for so long and cannot fully communicate with the outside world.
Even now, to be honest, I, Da Chu, still haven't been able to reconcile the internal affairs. Those inherited nobles have too many thoughts on each other.
As for this time, isn't it autumn? Find something for the Yan people to do. No matter how fierce the Yan people's cavalry are, is it possible that they can still break through the city wall? "
Xue Rang shook his head and said: "I still don't believe it, just to make the Yan people tired."
You know, after the Yan people massacred the Qingluan Army, the Chu State still accepted the contract, which meant that the Chu State was not ready to start a full-scale national war.
But now, uncharacteristically, they have suddenly become radical and even want to take the initiative to make some noise.
Although Xue Rang was a demoted general, he was still a prodigy in the military camp. He would not have climbed to this position if he could not clearly see the direction of the wind.
Nian Yao was quite generous. He leaned over and lowered his voice, saying:
"The official from Qian Kingdom sent an envoy to meet with the regent to discuss a joint fight against Yan."
"Do you have the guts to do it?"
If the destruction of the Qingluan Army was caused by a series of objective factors such as the annihilation of the main barbarian army, the freezing of Wangjiang River, etc., then Gan Ren was completely pushed to the ground by the Yan people and rubbed hard for several rounds. .
"Ganren has learned a lesson from the experience. After all, being beaten to the foot of the capital and drinking by the Ma-Bian River is such a humiliation. Even if Ganren likes romance, he will never be able to accept it.
The official in the Qian Kingdom was also interesting, saying that all the troops in the Qian Kingdom were being rebuilt and were still training their troops. Our country, Chu, was also purging its interior. For the time being, we were unable to make the Northern Expedition against Yan.
But we can't let the Yan people rest and recuperate leisurely after swallowing up the land of Sanjin. We have to find something for the Yan people to do.
The regent agreed. The Yan people seemed to be powerful, but they had a large base and a weak foundation. This method could be used to weaken them before the real war.
Oh, by the way, there is something that General Xue should know even if I don’t say it, but I still want to say it.
If the Yan people raise their troops to attack Zhennanguan, and the Royal Imperial Army, led by me, is behind them, it will be impossible for the Yan people to attack us no matter what.
But when General Xue takes action, he has to be a little leisurely. You must know that the Nanhou of Yan is now in charge of Fengxin City, so he can't rush in greedily.
If you really dare to advance, General Xue, don't blame me, Nian Yao, for refusing to save you. "
"General, you are worrying too much. I, Xue Rang, still know how much I weigh. No matter how conceited I am, I don't think I can compare with the Nanhou of Yan."
"Yes, that's it. Our main force should try not to leave Zhennanguan. It's best to lure the Yan army to come to Zhennanguan. In terms of field battles, as long as the Yan Nanhou is here for a day, I won't dare Confront him.”
"The general is too self-effacing."
"No, this is just like you, General Xue. You have something in mind. Qu Tiannan just had no idea, so he lost it. We can't be as stupid as him.
Furthermore, if the fighting here becomes lively, the regent will have reason to mobilize the private soldiers of the big families in the country to integrate them. It is purely to use the Yan people to train troops. I think, the official of Qian Kingdom , probably with the same calculation.
Okay, Mr. Xue, haha, after daybreak, I have to call you Mr. Xue. "
……
In the autumn of the second year of Yongping in the Great Yan Dynasty, Xue Rang, the guard general of Zhennan Pass, enthroned Situ Yong, a descendant of the Situ family, as emperor, proclaimed himself King Changping, and restored the Dacheng Kingdom.
The next day, three military orders were sent from Fengxin City, one to Yanjing, one to Yingdu, and one to Xueguan.
Because the distance was too far, it took a long time to transmit military information. Therefore, after the incident at Zhennan Pass, Xue Customs received a piece of news. Thousands of people, took the initiative to invade the border, pulled out two forts and returned.
Gan Ren's active provocation was still before Zhennanguan Pass.
As for the Yan State, which had just put down the barbarian rebellion and was preparing to recuperate, war broke out again on the two borders.

Also at night.
