The devil is coming

Chapter 565 Natural Disaster
"Together?"
This is the query,
With three parts of sincerity, three parts of testing, three parts of jokes, takeaways, and one part unclear.
But in fact, even just a hint of temptation is enough to shock people!
"Are you kidding me?"
Uncle Zheng smiled.
However, he still didn't move forward. Instead, he took half a step back.
The existence of a possible third-grade swordsman is far less terrifying than a third-grade swordsman who may be a third-grade swordsman and seems to be a little crazy.
The former is reasonable and talks about benefits, but the latter is a little bit no-no.
"joke?"
The sword maker shook his head and said:
"You can tell I'm serious."
finished,
The sword maker sat on the ground again, with Mo Shi stuck in the soil beside him.
"Give me a reason."
Uncle Zheng said.
Anyway, give me a reason.
The sword maker shook his head again and said:
"Prefer not to say."
"Then why should I believe it?" Uncle Zheng asked.
The swordmaker raised his hand,
road;
"Believe it or not, it's up to you."
He was obviously talking about a matter related to the life and death of the emperor of a country, but in the end, he was as carefree as if he was debating whether to go to the red tent in the town tonight.
"why?"
Uncle Zheng asked again.
The swordmaker's status was extremely high in the Chu State, and his status as a descendant of the Dugu family made him naturally classified as a true upper-class person in Chu.
When he went to snatch the princess, Uncle Zheng saw the regent and the swordmaker riding in the same carriage. If he wanted to, he would definitely have many ways to harm the regent;
But he didn't.
You said it would be fine if he was really someone who "deceived the world and stole his reputation", but was he really deceived by himself?
"Your Majesty, the King of Da Chu, is the phoenix of Da Chu. This phoenix can be captured by foreign enemies, but it cannot be tied up by the subjects under its wings."
The sword maker said these words.
The implication is that the regent can be captured by the Yan army, but cannot be betrayed by his own people.
This is the reason he gave that he had many opportunities before but did not take action. However, Uncle Zheng is really hard to believe this reason.
But it’s one thing to be convinced or not. Anyway, we can put aside the disputes and develop together.
Therefore,
Uncle Zheng’s next sentence is:
"How to do it?"
Listen to the actual facts first, and then consider your own gains and losses.
"Let me kill three in and three out in your military camp, and trick the Yangcheng defenders into attacking. Then you, Uncle Zheng, can take advantage of the situation and charge in."
Uncle Zheng frowned slightly. This was a move to lure the snake out of its hole, but...
Uncle Zheng shook his head,
Road:
"Don't do it."
The sword maker glanced at Uncle Zheng and said:
"Afraid that I'll pretend to be real?"
"Yes."
"Where's the courage?"
"Leave it alone."
"If this matter comes to fruition...you won't have to fight this war with Yan State anymore. Next, Chu State will cede territory and seek peace."
Once the regent is captured, or, to put it more extreme, dies in the rebel army, then the war in Chu will really not be able to continue.
The current internal integration of Dachu is due to the fact that the Yan army from outside is eyeing it, and the Emperor Yan has a history of stepping on the powerful;
On the other hand, it is because of the general knowledge and skills of the Regent that everyone is convinced. The fact that the Regent has not officially ascended the throne until now is the greatest concession and sincerity.
From a pure war perspective, this military adventure is worthwhile, and it is very worthwhile.
Once the fight is over, the Yan-Chu War can be declared to be temporarily over.
Uncle Zheng still said firmly:
"No."
"You have to give a reason?" the sword maker asked.
"I'm afraid of death."
I don’t want to risk my life on Dayan’s bright future.
Can't do it,
unwilling,
Stupid or not?
"It's really hard to imagine that Uncle Dayan Pingye would actually say such a thing."
"It's as if the world can imagine that the Da Chu sword maker would say the words 'together'."
"Can't be trusted?"
"Can't be trusted."
Late at night, we were co-acting a fiasco. We were more than 1 soldiers, not more than 1 actors. How could we act?
As he continued to act, he could not believe it would come true, and then when the Chu army from Yangcheng came out, they were all the elites of the Royal Forbidden Army. As soon as they rushed, their side might collapse directly.
If Uncle Zheng brings the original version of the Snow Navy this time, and everyone has their war horses, he can still try to get one.
But this time, the morale of his subordinates seems to be high, but in fact they are an "elite" group cobbled together, and they have all become foot soldiers. Once extreme circumstances arise, they will be fully accountable.
Now, Uncle Zheng can still control his uncle for a few more days. If the wind direction is not good, he can escape to Daze and fight guerrillas. It will be a bit painful, but the problem is not big;
However, once I finish tonight, I have no choice but to go on the run with the Chu people searching the mountains and seas like I did after snatching the princess, and go back to the old path.
"Still not successful?"
The sword maker felt that he had given this great Yanpingye uncle a long time to consider.
"No."
Uncle Zheng continued to give his original answer.
The sword maker nodded and said:
"War Horse, keep half of you and let my people leave."
"can."
Uncle Zheng readily agreed.
Just keep half of it first.
The sword maker pointed to Mo Shi who was standing in front of him.
Road:
"After my people leave, I will give you this sword as well."
"it is good."
Uncle Zheng readily agreed again.
I can also keep your people.
The sword maker looked at the sword master again and said:
"The debt of gratitude you owe me on Longyuan will be repaid today. I will sit here and wait for my people to go out. I will give him this sword."
Of course the Sword Master can protect Uncle Zheng here, but if the Sword Master is willing to agree to this agreement and not take action, then Uncle Zheng, who can already eat these five hundred knights plus a sword maker, must really Go and fulfill the agreement seriously.
At such a close distance and leaving the encirclement, even if Jin Shuke or Fan Li brings people up, the sword maker can detect it in advance. In short, if the sword master does not move, the sword maker can stab Uncle Zheng. sword.
"Why?"
Uncle Zheng asked,
"You give him a Longyuan, and he gives you the Four Great Swordsmen. Who loses and who gains?"
There is a legend in the world that the reason why the sword maker is ranked as one of the four great swordsmen is because of the praise of the sword master.
The sword maker closed his eyes and sighed,
Somewhat helplessly;
"I didn't let him speak for me at the beginning. The Four Great Swordsmen are not the Four Great Swordsmen. All they brought to me was trouble."
said,
The sword maker urged:
"Yu Huaping, please agree or disagree."
The Sword Master looked at Uncle Zheng and said, "You just promised me."
"I lied to him."
"..." Swordmaker.
"Then it will be difficult for me to deal with it now." The sword master pointed to the sword maker sitting there, "I do owe him a favor."
A handful of Long Yuan, a real favor.
"Stay all the horses, and your people, get out." Uncle Zheng said, "I'll just stand here, okay?"
"Okay." The swordmaker agreed, then took out a fire letter from his arms, pulled it out, and a red light flew across the sky.
On the other side, the black-armored cavalry dismounted and tied the reins of their horses to the tree beside them.
Jin Shuke ordered people to find Uncle Zheng. After getting Uncle Zheng's approval, he opened a way for the knights to leave the forest.
war horse,
Then they all stayed.
The sword maker closed his eyes and rested his mind, the sword master also sat cross-legged, and Uncle Zheng was leaning against a tree with a mint in his mouth.
After another fire signal appeared in the distance and flew into the sky, the sword maker stood up, nodded with his fingertips on the tip of the sword, left Mo Shi there, and turned around, heading northwest.
"Where are you going?" Uncle Zheng asked.
He originally thought that the sword maker was staying behind to break up the family.
"Go and occupy Yangcheng and protect my king." The sword maker replied.
"You are sick?"
Uncle Zheng asked seriously.
"When you rejected my proposal earlier, I also thought you were sick."
The sword maker walked up to the sword master and said with a smile:
"It's different."
The sword master said: "Just leave, don't talk nonsense."
"It is indeed different. From now on, there will be no more four great swordsmen." The sword maker sighed, "Oh, that's right."
The sword maker looked at Uncle Zheng and said, "I used some special materials for this sword, Shi Shi. It has a great influence on people's minds. I don't want to call it a magic sword because it is too vulgar."
Uncle Zheng didn't say anything. With the magic pill by his side, he really didn't have to worry about any inner demons.
"That's it. I'm leaving, Yu Huaping. Next time I have a chance, I'll come to the Earl's Mansion to look at your sword and have a drink with you."
The Sword Master said: "It's the Marquis Mansion."
"Tsk..."
The figure of the sword maker disappeared into the night in the northwest direction.
The Sword Master stepped forward, stretched out his hand, pulled out Mo Shi, and said:
"This sword..."
"If you like it, you can take it."
In this regard, Uncle Zheng has always been generous.
"Having one Long Yuan on your body is already cumbersome. I don't want this one."
"Then you keep it for me first, and I will take it out to play with after the battle is over."
"Row."
"Hey, tell me, if he is sincere..."
The sword master smiled and said, "What's the point of talking about this now?"
Regardless of whether people are sincere or not, they have already left.
"Tell me, why?"
Rejection is rejection, but this does not prevent Uncle Zheng from chewing the cud a few more times.
In fact, the phrase "together" was so shocking that it almost took away Uncle Zheng's soul.
"He actually always looks like the same person."
"Who?"
"you."
"I?"
"You are an uncle with military merit. Dayan treats you well. You are also a Yan person. Didn't you reject his proposal for your own safety?
He is a hereditary noble, a member of the Dugu family, and he lives with the country. He is from Chu, so he can't live for himself?
In this world, there are only a few big rules and regulations, but there are thousands of kinds of people. How can it be possible to fit within all of those few rules? "
"What you said makes sense, but it's a pity that I can't sit down and have an epiphany like you."
"A sixth-grade martial artist is enough. I will stand in front of you, and he will have to negotiate business with you. A warlock is outside, driven by the imperial court, and a martial swordsman is a lackey in the army.
It’s clear who is older and who is younger. "
"It's different, if I..."
A smile appeared on the corner of the sword master's mouth and he said: "Next time, I will take a closer look."
"This sounds scary." Uncle Zheng rubbed his hands.
"Country people have been working for a long time, and they are used to sitting in the yard and looking at their neighbors when they have nothing to do."
"Ha ha."
Uncle Zheng waved his hand,
Road:
"Come on, we are tired after this round. You should go to bed early. When we are driven away in two days, you will have to follow and protect us. By the way, tell me, does he have a personal enmity with the regent? For example Was your beloved woman robbed or was your beloved woman killed?"
"Why a woman?"
“Yes, why is it a woman? This seems a bit vulgar;
Stop talking, stop talking, go home, go home. "
After Uncle Zheng finished speaking, he started walking towards the military stronghold, followed by the Sword Master.
When they came, the sword master walked in front and the uncle walked in the back;
When returning, the uncle went to the front first, and the Sword Master walked behind. Slowly, the uncle walked to the back again, and the Sword Master became the front.
The Sword Master did not ask Uncle Zheng about his true relationship with those "gentlemen", even though the Sword Master had already seen some clues;
Just like he didn't mention that the Longyuan Sword actually had the ability to break the restrictions of the Da Chu royal family's secret technique, Locking the Phoenix Hand.
Some things should be said or asked. Since you can't get the answer, there is no need to open your mouth again.
In the military camp,
Xue San was sitting there, and Siniang was helping him suture the wound.
A Ming is not here, he went back to his tent to bleed.
"Injured?" Uncle Zheng asked.
Xue San nodded and said: "It's okay, Your Majesty."
"I just had something happen outside. I'm tired, so I don't want to ask for help."
"My subordinate was also slightly injured and a little tired, so he didn't pretend to be moved on purpose."
"Ha ha."
"Haha."
Uncle Zheng looked at Siniang and asked, "Are the medicinal materials ready?"
"It should be enough." Siniang replied, "If we don't go deeper into Daze."
"It's not necessary in the depths. Just take the Chu people to fly kites on the outside. I don't believe that they would be willing to send a hundred thousand troops to just walk with me here."
Uncle Zheng stretched his waist.
road;
"I'm a little hungry. What should I have for breakfast?"
.........
The sword maker entered Jiyang City,
He did not fly up like other strong men and landed on the city wall like other strong men. Instead, he asked the superiors to put down the hanging basket. He turned over and was pulled up again.
After entering the city, he met the regent.
The regent had already gone to bed. At this time, he was wearing a white robe and sitting beside the bed.
"Kings."
The swordsmith saluted.
"How is it outside?"
"The Yan people are very guarded."
"My brother-in-law is the direct disciple of King Jingnan. Tian Wujing is the best at using troops. Naturally, it is impossible for him to commit such negligence. I heard from the city gate guard that you came here?"
"Yes, I came here with five hundred horses. I wanted to negotiate a deal with Uncle Hirano."
"What conditions?"
"I asked him if he wanted to come into the city and capture you, the king. As long as he is willing to act out a night attack with me, I can trick him into opening the city gate of Yangcheng."
"He refused?"
"Yes."
"Can't believe you?"
"Yes."
"Haha, that's a pity." The Prince Regent sighed, "He missed a big opportunity."
"No."
"What about the five hundred horses?"
"The man is gone, but the horse is left with him."
"I'm so grateful."
"There's also a Moshi."
"It's a big loss."
"I feel the same way."
The regent picked up the tea handed over by the eunuch beside him, took a sip, and said slowly:
"Where is the army of Duguzhu Kingdom?"
"The net has already been set up."
"You go out of the city again and convey an order to Zhuguo for me. According to the affairs here in Yangcheng, I won't bother him anymore. Let him lead the army to Weihe River and Jingcheng to stabilize the situation there."
"Master, you probably won't listen to me. Your Majesty may have many considerations, but in his eyes, whether you come here or not is a matter of attitude. The noble sons of Dachu and the royal family share weal and woe, and nothing can be lost. Lose that attitude.”
"Asking others to convey the message is ineffective. That's why I asked you to go. Is Sun Yuan here?"
"If I get back to the king, General Sun has been summoned."
"Let him in."
"According to the order."
Soon, a one-eyed general came in from outside, knelt down and saluted.The regent asked:
"How many cavalry are there in the city?"
"If you reply to the king..."
The sword maker interrupted Sun Yuan and said directly:
"Your Majesty, that Mo Shi is also a son-mother sword."
As he spoke, the sword maker reached into his arms and took out a small black sword.
road;
"There's no need to trouble General Sun to cover me out of the city. I'll take this in exchange for a chance to leave the city."
The regent waved his hand and signaled Sun Yuan to go down. General Sun stood up and left.
"Go and deliver the message. If your father still insists on coming, put the sword on his neck."
"it is good."
The swordsmith stood up.
"There's no need to leave in such a hurry. Come and have a bowl of mutton soup with me later. According to the mutton soup in Yangcheng."
The sword maker hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Perhaps in response to the next bowl of mutton soup, the swordmaker asked:
"Your Majesty, will you continue to stay in Juyang City?"
The regent nodded and said: "Didn't he just want to use me to hold back the soldiers and horses of our great Chu? Then, I just couldn't do what he wanted.
I don't need to worry here. The kid is walking along the Wei River by boat. The Qu family should have noticed it. It won't take long for our Dachu Navy and Qu's Qingluan Army to be here.
It's just right to let Qu's people deal with that kid. "
The sword maker also nodded and said, "Indeed."
The regent put down the tea cup in his hand,
Road:
"In fact, you shouldn't put most of your thoughts into making swords. You could have chosen one of them, Wen Zhi Wu Lu. With your qualifications, I, Da Chu, can definitely have another Tian Wujing.
They didn't see it, but you did. "
"You are not Ji Runhao, why do you always want Tian Wujing? Even if you are Ji Runhao, we still don't know what will happen to Tian Wujing.
But I also want to know why you are so sure.
The old man in my family and the old men in other families didn’t see it, but they didn’t want to believe it.
At this time, who would do that kind of thing? "
"But you believe that I will do it."
"Aren't you afraid that the country is really subjugated?"
"The country cannot be destroyed."
"Where does the certainty come from?" the sword maker asked.
The regent picked up the two books on the coffee table and threw them in front of the sword maker.
Of these two volumes, one is "History of Jin" and the other is "History of Yan". Of course, this is not the whole story, just one volume from each of the two histories.
"Meng Shou is back," the regent said.
Meng Shou, who had compiled the history of the Four Kingdoms, returned to Chu.
"I know."
"Meng Shou, told me something. Later, I personally asked someone to check the historical data, and finally, it was confirmed."
"What's confirmed?"
"One hundred and twenty years is a cycle. During those two years, there will be great disasters, especially in the north."
The sword maker smiled and said, "Meng Shou studied history and became a Qi Refiner?"
Catastrophic disaster, this is the rhetoric that Qi practitioners like to talk about.
"The major disasters here are real natural disasters, such as drought, floods, cold, and crop failure. Meng Shou noticed this when he was compiling the History of Yan and Jin. Once every 120 years, there will be a large-scale natural disaster, and the climate will Becoming bizarre and extreme;
The northern part of Zhuxia was most obviously affected by this.
More than 800 years ago, due to the disasters in those two years, the barbarians and savages had to go south. Daxia was under great pressure. Only then did the Marquises of Yan and Jin get orders to open the border to resist the barbarians and savages; only then did Emperor Taizu was ordered to expel Shanyue and open up Xinjiang for the Xia.
The last round was 20 years ago.
There was a severe drought in the land of Yan. The barbarian royal court saw the opportunity and chose to call on the desert tribes to march eastward at that time to fight a bloody battle with the Yan State in an attempt to defeat the Yan State in one fell swoop.
During the Northern Expedition of the Qian Kingdom's 50-strong army, it is recorded in history books that the Yan people fortified the walls and cleared the wilderness. But how could such a huge place really be completely fortified and clear of the wilderness?
In fact, the Yan people were already out of food.
Yinlang County is inspired by the winning poem written by the first generation Zhenbei Hou: whipping up the horse to chase the silver waves, glancing at the peach blossoms from afar.
It is about the tragic situation of the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Qian Kingdom on the road, with corpses strewn all over the fields, leaving only the armor reflecting the silver light of the sun.
But in fact, there should be only armor left on the ground. The hungry Yan people no longer paid attention to armor and weapons. Instead, they had used Ganren's corpse as rations, dragged them home, and started It’s cooked, hahaha. "
As the regent spoke, he smiled and continued:
"Why didn't the first generation of Zhenbei Marquis directly go south to attack Qian? Instead, they only plundered the population, food, and wealth of the three sides of the Qian Kingdom and then returned north? Not only because the Yan Kingdom was fighting a bloody battle with the barbarians at that time, but the more important reason was that , Yan's national strength, at that time, could no longer bear a major war.
The Situ family, the Helian family, and the Wenren family were the three lords of Jin;
Among them, the Situ family and the Wen family were the earliest vassals of the Marquis of Jin. The Helian family had savage blood and had returned, but their family status was very early.
A hundred and twenty years ago, there was a severe flood in Jin, and the people were displaced. Civil unrest broke out on the river. It was so powerful that it swept through the three Jin areas, and almost even the then Jin State was conquered.
The Emperor of Jin decreed that local regiments should be organized to organize soldiers and horses to protect the king. The Helian family, the Wenren family, and the Situ family were originally just big families, but in the two years of countering the rebellion, they gained territory, expanded their troops, and treated the people well. After the chaos subsided, the division of the three families into the Jin Dynasty began to take shape.
this year,
The summer in Yandi is much longer than in previous years, and drought has already appeared; the heavy rain in Jindi has also lasted long enough.
Ha ha,
Emperor,
For the emperor,
But the true will of the sky, even the emperor, does not know it.
Taking history as a mirror,
This is using history as a mirror,
No one but Meng Shou, who has studied the history of the Four Kingdoms, can understand this law.
The tyranny of the Yan people has just begun. After this year, the land of Yan and Jin will be hit by a great disaster. How can the Yan court, which has already seriously overstretched the people of the two places, maintain its power?
Let alone continue the war.
Fengchaowei's spies in Jin came to report that the Yan people's navy probably took advantage of the Wangjiang River bursting its embankment.
King Jingnan of Dayan is worthy of being a military god. He can use this kind of strategy that uses nature as a medium, which is really amazing and admirable.
but,
The wrath of heaven,
What can be measured?
Guard Zhennanguan until next year. Look at Yan and Jin, the people will have a hard time!
Even if Zhennan Pass cannot be defended, in two years' time, I can take advantage of the exhaustion of the Yan-Jin land to send troops northward to regain my homeland.
Some people in the court felt that the Yan people might have taken control of Zhennanguan and Shanggu County, and then stopped as soon as they were ready, and then started to pursue it slowly;
But I know, I know, even if the Yan people want to continue to expand the war and try to destroy Chu in one fell swoop, even if they have the intention, they don’t have the strength.
Just like a hundred years ago, the first generation of Zhenbei Hou defeated the Qianren Northern Expedition army under a good situation, but still could not go south.
You ask me why I am so sure,
This is how I answer you;
You ask me why I still do those things at this time,
That's me, prepare early.
you,
Got it?
how,
In your eyes,
Could it be that I am just a short-sighted king who ignores the country and the country for his own selfish desires for power?
still you,
Are you reluctant to part with the so-called precious blood of the great nobles of the Dugu family flowing through your body?
It is said that the emperor of the Yan Kingdom has released the prince to supervise the country, while he has been raised in the back garden. His body and bones may not be able to hold on for long.
Pity,
What a pity,
A real world of great strife,
Just about to begin.
Therefore,
after,
There are many places where we need to work together. "
The swordmaker lowered his head,
Leaning down to salute,
Road:
"My lord, I understand."

Don't panic, there will be more tonight.
