The devil is coming

Chapter 544 The Flag
Uncle Zheng did not participate in the final finishing touches at Xishan Fort. Instead, he returned to the Chinese army's stronghold early with A Ming and a group of soldiers given by Li Fusheng.
San'er didn't follow, so he had to collect the craftsmen he brought and go to the next place to assist in the battle. At the same time, Li Fusheng's craftsmen would also be taken there.
Fan Li's acupoints for treating mourning,
It starts from Xishan Fort and ends at Xishan Fort.
Because Shi Yuantang's body was casually thrown on the ground when Fan Li rushed to the city gate, and the subsequent large-scale attack by the Yan army and the charge of the cavalry, the body of Dachu Zhuguo had long been missing.
No matter what, a corpse hidden in horseshoes that is deeper than a corpse wrapped in horse leather can be regarded as a good destiny for a soldier.
Fan Li himself had to go back to Dongshan Fort to recuperate due to his injuries. This iron-tower-like man really played a role that other demon kings could hardly play during the siege and battle formation. At the same time, he also paid a lot of attention. At a great cost.
On the way back, he probably took a full nap, so Uncle Zheng was in good spirits.
But A Ming, who was riding behind Uncle Zheng Pixiu, seemed to have seen a student who got high marks in the exam, and he was eager to go back to his parents to report the good news.
In fact, it is.
Although Xishan Fort was captured in a blur, in any case, it was indeed captured, and it was indeed captured on the first day of his official command. Fan Li's Yangge was also recognized as the first mover arranged by him in advance.
And Uncle Zheng has also become accustomed to this muddle-headed rhythm of "using troops like a god";
However, Uncle Zheng never believed that he was "destined to return", nor did he think that he was "lucky". In the final analysis, his steady rise to success was because of the seven demon kings who were carrying the burden for him.
perhaps,
Having their company is your greatest luck.
At this thought, Uncle Zheng subconsciously turned his head to look at A Ming behind him.
A Ming had a subtle and gentle smile on his face.
Uncle Zheng nodded to him,
A Ming didn't know how serious he was, and his smile became gentler.
immediately,
Uncle Zheng turned around and looked ahead.
The smile on A Ming's face disappeared immediately. He still liked the cold and indifferent expression.
At this point, A Ming and Liang Cheng are very similar because Xu is both "cold-blooded creatures".
Any extra expression on their face is a burden to them.
But when facing the Lord, they couldn't put on airs and had to force themselves to become "docile".
Otherwise, no matter how great it is to put on airs today, it will be so embarrassing the next time you lick it.
When entering the outskirts of the Chinese army's stronghold, groups of sentries came one after another to inquire, salute, and report;
Lao Tian has always been rigorous in running the army.
However, after entering the military camp, Uncle Zheng smelled of alcohol.
"Uncle Hirano breaks through the Xishan stronghold and returns to camp!"
"Uncle Hirano breaks through the Xishan stronghold and returns to camp!"
The messenger was very polite and respectful, riding his horse through the army and shouting.
This is not a self-assertion, because today the drinking ban is lifted, wouldn't the prince just congratulate Uncle Zheng for making another great contribution?
Although the soldiers of the Chinese army still don't know the process of conquering Xishan Fort, any fool can see the clues. First, Uncle Hirano captured Dongshan Fort in just a few days. Second, Li Fusheng's troops besieged Xishan Fort for a long time. As a result, as soon as Hirano Bo went to take over, the city would be destroyed the next day.
If this is not the credit of Mr. Hirano, who is it?
The destruction of the East and West forts indicates that the two most difficult nails for the Yan army to clean up the perimeter of Zhennanguan have been pulled out. Isn’t it reasonable for the prince to congratulate him for this?
Is it possible, or is it due to other reasons?
Drunkard Xianweng also believed that it was because of this. Otherwise, the prince lifted the ban on drinking because he learned that His Majesty was in poor health. Well... how could it be possible? No!
Uncle Zheng, dressed in golden armor, rode into the camp on Pixiu. All the soldiers spontaneously raised their weapons and cheered:
"My uncle is mighty!"
"My uncle is mighty!"
Uncle Zheng was in good spirits. He drew out his wild sword and raised it high:
"The Yan army is mighty!"
The soldiers all around shouted:
"The Yan army is mighty!"
"The Yan army is mighty!"
Uncle Zheng shouted again:
"My lord is mighty!"
The enthusiasm of the soldiers was ignited:
"My lord is mighty!"
"My lord is mighty!"
Immediately afterwards, someone started shouting: "Long live the prince!"
immediately,
The wind direction changes suddenly,
Everyone chanted together:
"Long live the prince!"
"Long live the prince!"
Looking at the enthusiastic cheers around him, Uncle Zheng couldn't help but remember what Tian Wujing had taught him back then.
He said that eating and sleeping with soldiers was a trick used by literati to gain domestic slaves. The real way to win over soldiers was to lead them from one victory to the next.
The victorious general is a totem in the military.
However, the drunken immortal in the distance noticed that there was no shout of "Long live your Majesty" in the cheers of the army.
For a long time, Your Majesty has delegated power to the military of the two princes in the north and south, which can be said to have been the best in history. Although this has laid a good situation for Yan to annex Jin and deter Qian from attacking Chu, it also still allows Dayan's troops to attack Chu. , began to gradually break away from the imprint of the imperial court.
Drunken Immortal knew that His Majesty's body was now beginning to be stretched.
And King Jingnan,
But it is at the peak of spring and autumn.
There is no need to spy on the heavenly secrets or watch the stars at night. When His Majesty Yan Huang's body begins to decline, like a candle flickering, it is destined that a round of heaven will come.
Uncle Zheng was greeting the soldiers around him while riding Pixiu towards the king's tent. The amount of wine given to the soldiers was very small, but many people still held the bowls even if they were empty, and licked them again from time to time. Look for the last hint of spicy food at the bottom of the bowl.
Drinking represents a kind of hedonism, and this is human nature.
Qiu Ba, a member of the army, was trained extremely rigorously on weekdays, and lived a life of licking blood from the edge of a knife. His ferocious energy was actually buried deep in his bones.
Not to mention that the Yan army is now on an expedition here, and they are once again faced with the Chu people's copper and iron wall defense.
It stands to reason that the violence accumulated in the hearts of the soldiers must have reached its peak.
Therefore, it is necessary to reward the army at this time with good wine and meat.
Otherwise, the morale of the army will inevitably decline. This is considered a good thing. If you are not careful, there may even be a mutiny and bombing of the camp.
Therefore, every time a large army goes out on an expedition, it will disturb the local area. If it is on the territory of another country, it will plunder and plunder. If it is on its own territory, it will threaten local officials to make donations.
It's not that I don't know that it's not good to do this, but it's really a last resort.
But under Tian Wujing's rule, there was no such problem, at least, it was not a common problem.
If you are unable to personally walk into this military stronghold and truly touch the core of this army, you will not be able to perceive Tian Wujing's role in this army that is mainly composed of the Jingnan Army and is attacking Chu.
Dinghai Shenzhen is the real Dinghai Shenzhen.
Letting hundreds of thousands of people go out will definitely bring disaster to the lawless men. It is really not easy to set up camp here in a orderly manner.
Hold the reins,
I got Pixiu,
Uncle Zheng walked forward on foot,
The king's tent is the foundation of the Chinese army's camp. It seems that there is an invisible boundary surrounding this place, blocking all the noise outside.
"I've met Uncle Hirano."
The Drunken Immortal finally arrived at Uncle Hirano.
Uncle Zheng still remembers this old man. This old man held the official position of the Secret Intelligence Service. He was sometimes in Yanjing and sometimes in Beifeng County. Now, he is here again.
He can be regarded as the best embodiment of selling out to the emperor's family. He got what he wanted without losing his leisure and freedom.
There are many things in the world that are difficult to have both ways. It just depends on whether you can control them.
"I've seen Xian Weng."
"Long years no see, long years no see."
Zui Xianweng couldn't say any more. After all, he and Zheng Fan were just a casual acquaintance.
"The immortal is still full of energy, which is enviable."
"Hahaha, uncle is still young and vigorous, like the rising sun in the east, how can he care about the age when the sun sets?"
"Is the prince inside?"
Uncle Zheng asked.
He really had nothing to talk about with the man in front of him.
Furthermore, Hu Bamei, whom Xue San brought back a few days ago, made Uncle Zheng a little wary of these truly virtuous sorcerers.
Although when Master Zang cut off the dragon's veins in Yanjing City, Emperor Yan was so majestic that he didn't care.
But that is because he is the Emperor of Yan, and he is backed by the Northern and Southern Marquises and hundreds of thousands of Yan cavalry;
As for myself,
I don’t want to live up to some bullshit motto and end up being tied up and burned as a medieval witch.
Drunkard nodded, turned sideways, and got out of the way.
Uncle Zheng walked forward,
But his shoulders were held down by Drunken Immortal.
Uncle Zheng's eyes narrowed,
He didn't believe that anyone dared to do harm to him within the scope of the king's tent and under Tian Wujing's nose.
"Uncle, I forgot something. This is the calming charm that I drew myself. Please accept it and treat it as my congratulations on this great victory."
Uncle Zheng reached out and took the talisman, but he only held it in his hand and did not put it into his arms.
Yao Zizhan also gave himself a talisman at the beginning, saying it could ward off evil spirits, but...he lacked everything around him and there was no shortage of evil spirits.
Open the curtain and walk into the king's tent.
Uncle Zheng conveniently placed the talisman on a shelf next to him.
Tian Wujing was sitting on the handsome seat, holding a wine glass in his hand, just watching.
"The general will return to life!"
"sit."
Uncle Zheng sat down, and soon, a personal guard came in and brought a glass of wine. There was no jug, and it was impossible to refill the glass.
"Your Majesty, the guard of Xishan Fort, Zhou Huaizong and Feng Yuanyang were captured, Shi Chengmou died in the battle, and when the general left, Li Fusheng ordered people to clean up the remnants."
Tian Wujing nodded and said:
"With the East and West Forts evacuated, the progress below will be much faster."
"Yes, my lord."
"An oral message came from the palace. Your Majesty asked how long this battle will last."
Uncle Zheng's eyes lit up immediately.
This look was caught by Tian Wujing. He was still staring at the wine in his hand, but shook his head slightly and said:
"I don't know how to restrain myself."
"In front of the prince, there is no need to hold back."
"This battle must be fought faster."
If Emperor Yan fails to survive until the end of his campaign against Chu, once he dies, it will have an immeasurable impact on the entire front line of his campaign against Chu.
If Tian Wujing is the pinnacle of the Great Yan Army, then the Emperor of Yan is the Anshan Talisman in today's Great Yan situation.
Dayan's balance and the current unity of people seem to be prosperous, but in fact, this balance is very fragile.
Only if the Emperor of Yan sits in that position can the people of Dayan save money on food and clothing, tighten their belts, and send their husbands and nephews to the front line to win this war for Dayan.
Emperor Yan was the anchor of the people's hearts and the political forces of the government and the public.
The reason why the Supreme Being is called the Supreme Being is because he carries the whole family and country on his shoulders.
It was like the First Emperor in another time and space that Uncle Zheng was familiar with. When he was in power, the world was in peace, and Liu Bang and Xiang Yu could only kneel down beside Luan Jia, shouting long live the mountain.
After his death, all the monsters and monsters appeared.
Ghosts and monsters?
Uncle Zheng frowned slightly, why did he scold himself?
"My lord, your majesty, who will you let succeed?"
Uncle Zheng asked.
He now spoke in front of Tian Wujing without any scruples. After all, they were a family.
Moreover, it was Tian Wujing who told him first that His Majesty was ill.
You started, I will continue.
The most important thing is that although Tian Wujing is the biological uncle of the second prince, the crown prince Ji Chenglang, the relationship between the uncle and nephew is actually very subtle.
Tian Wujing seemed to have never regarded the prince as his nephew.
The prince, probably because of his relationship with his mother, would not regard Tian Wujing as his uncle.
How miserable has the prince's life been since last year?
Firstly, his wedding to the princess fell through; secondly, the imperial examination that he worked so hard for finally turned into a wedding dress for the sixth prince; his mother also died suddenly;
Under a series of blows, the position of the prince and the status of the East Palace were in danger.
This prince is really sitting on pins and needles.
Of course, in front of such a powerful father, it would be difficult for him to be the prince.
However, if Tian Wujing is willing to speak out for the prince, even if he just says a word, then the prince's situation will definitely change dramatically!
Li Liangting was far away in Beifeng County. After the Battle of Kaijin, he returned to Zhenbei Hou Mansion and continued to guard the desert.
The other wars in recent years were all fought by Tian Wujing.
At the beginning, there were two princes in the north and south. The north was strong and the south was weak. The south prince was more like the court pulling together to balance the pressure from the north.
Nowadays, the Marquis of the South has already surpassed the Marquis of the North.
But Tian Wujing seemed to have completely forgotten that he had a nephew.
But this is also easy to understand,
Because Lao Tian seemed to have deliberately forgotten that he had a son.
When I think of Tiantian,
Uncle Zheng actually still missed the child a little.
It would be great if my future children could be as easy to take care of and obedient as Tiantian, and never got sick since childhood.
Faced with Uncle Zheng’s question,
King Jingnan still answered calmly:
"random."
"Forehead………"
This answer really surprised Uncle Zheng.
"Zheng Fan."
"My lord."
Tian Wujing put down the glass of wine that he had not drank at all.
reach out,
Pointing to the black dragon flag hanging on the side of the royal tent,
Road:
"I ask you, what do you think of this flag?"
"I like it very much, it looks good."
I can see the feelings, I really have feelings.
Since joining the army, I have followed this flag to charge again and again. Even though I later had a "Zheng" flag, this black dragon flag that symbolized Dayan always gave me a sense of belonging every time I saw it.
This sense of belonging is very similar to how many people in another time and space would shout from time to time: "For the tribe!"
Even if you really treat this life, this world, as a game or a dream, you still can't avoid its infiltration into your whole being.
not to mention,
This is not a game, this world is extremely real and extremely delicate.
"Where's the armor you're wearing?"
Uncle Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, if conditions didn't allow it, I would really like to change myself into a set of armor. This armor is really too conspicuous.
Moreover, even if it is brighter, I still think this pure golden armor is too rustic. "
With the blind man's design, Liang Cheng's practicality, and Xue San's forging, he can definitely make himself a set of armor that is truly luxurious, low-key, and meaningful.
"In the future, what are your plans?"
King Jingnan asked.
Want to rebel!
This was absolutely impossible to say. Although Uncle Zheng felt that he and Tian Wujing had a tacit understanding for a long time, there was a very clear red line in this tacit understanding.
You can try your best to spin and jump outside the red line,
But you can't really die to touch it.
"Your Majesty, actually, I have always wanted to visit the Kingdom of Qian to see its splendor and scenery."
"Your Majesty's biggest dream in this life is to go to Beijing and sit on the dragon chair that is said to have been inherited from Daxia." Tian Wujing's eyes revealed memories of reminiscence, "But it just so happened that the Jin Dynasty was the first to be destroyed. , it is Chu who is cutting down now."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, one day sooner or later, I, the Great Yan Cavalry, will trample the flowers and mountains of their country and ride south across the Yangtze River."
"Uncle Hirano, go to my king and raise that flag."
"Here!"
Uncle Zheng left his seat, walked to the opposite side, and carried the black dragon flag under his shoulders.
King Jingnan sat there, looking at Uncle Zheng who was carrying the flag, his eyes not moving for a long time.
Uncle Zheng just stood there, maintaining this posture.
In the king's tent, the invisible pressure began to gradually increase. I don't know when. It seemed that even breathing inside seemed to have to be done with all one's strength.
"vow."
"Ok?"
"This flag in your hand cannot be changed."
"I, Zheng Fan, hereby swear an oath that I will only stand under the Great Yan Long Banner in this life. If I violate this oath, I will be punished by heaven and earth!"
a long time,
Tian Wujing said;
"Is the oath useful to you?"
Once, at the foot of Yupan City, King Jingnan swore a poisonous oath to the people of Chu. After turning around, he issued a military order to "kill them all."
Uncle Zheng hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said:
"Your Majesty, the general doesn't really believe this either."
When there are dead people, vampires, zombies, undead and a large number of such existences around you, it will be difficult for you to believe in some divine providence.
Tian Wujing smiled,
Road:
"That's useless."
Uncle Zheng smiled and said;
"Others don't know my temper, but you, my lord, should know that no matter what God asks me to do, I have to weigh it and figure out whether it is worthwhile for me to do it."
"Oh?"
Uncle Zheng inserted the flag in his hand into the ground.
Road:
"But if my brother tells me to do something, I will definitely do it."
