The devil is coming

Chapter 855 Don't talk about martial arts!
After coming out of the school grounds where the stage was located, Prince Pingxi did not choose to return to Prince Fu's Mansion, but went straight out of the city and returned to the camp outside the city.
After a good night's sleep on a good bed and quilt, and looking at his handsome tent that looked solemn but was actually simple, the prince shook his head, sighed, and smiled.
"Dahu, go ask the troupe. If they are willing to come with us, then take them with them. If not, it doesn't matter."
"Yes, my lord!"
After Liu Dahu walked out of the handsome tent, the sword master on the side said, "If he asks, he might not leave."
Change the image of Zheng Man, who almost looked arrogant, to the more heroic Chen Xianba.
The opera troupe probably thought that the prince fell in love with the opera. If they didn't leave, the Yan people would get angry and kill people. There was no option not to leave.
But Liu Dahu has an honest face and is honest in his heart. He will definitely protect the prince to the death on the battlefield, but on weekdays, it is inevitable that he will give people a feeling of insufficient deterrence;
Moreover, the prince also added "it doesn't matter", so there is a high probability that Liu Dahu really went to discuss it.
"I gave them a chance, and their daughter assassinated me. Is it possible that I still have to enshrine them and cry for them to follow me to save their lives?"
"Too."
The prince picked up the teacup, blew on it, and asked:
"Lao Yu, how do you feel?"
"What do you feel?"
"The feeling of this journey."
"It's okay. The scenery on the dry land is really good. I've been to Jiangnan before, and the scenery is even better."
"You know that's not what I'm asking about."
“I used to think that the retainers of the three Jin families were all short-sighted and only cared about luxury and enjoyment, but when their roots were really touched upon, they would rise up and resist.
When the Yan people captured the Helian family and the Wen family, they also won the territory after defeating the elites of these two families.
After the Situ family nearly suffered an avalanche in the snow customs, Situ Lei was still able to fight hard before dying.
But these people..."
"That's why the imperial court treats the Jin region equally. Basically, the Jin people and the Yan people may have prejudices, but in terms of governance, the Yan and Jin regions were almost equal from the beginning.
Because the imperial court was afraid that the Jin people would rise up to resist, and did not want Jin to become a quagmire that the imperial court would have to fall into.
And if the Qian Kingdom was destroyed at the beginning, the expropriation and expropriation of Qian land would definitely be much higher than that of the Jin Dynasty, because the resistance of the Qian people was controllable.
The wolves will be more unscrupulous when asking for the sheep. "
"I didn't expect that the imperial court would also bully the weak and fear the strong in its governance?"
"Since ancient times, children who can scream have been rewarded with sweets. They dare to rebel or dare not. If they rebel, they can be quickly pacified and those who are difficult to pacify or cannot be pacified at all. These differences are actually very big."
"Just like your Jin Dong."
"Correct."
"But you just told that Jing Niang before that there is actually no difference between Yanren and Ganren."
"But the contamination of the upper level to the lower level will never be restored overnight, even if the bones are scraped to cure the poison."
"Then why did you lead the troops out of Nanmen Pass and then bring them here?"
"It's been several years. If you give it a few more years, it won't be able to be described as overnight. Maybe, five years? Ten years? One after another, there will be another.
When will it really happen?
I sat there watching the play,
It was not the actors on the stage who wanted to kill me, but the people in official uniforms.
This dry country,
How else to fight? "
"So, you are also bullying the weak and afraid of the strong."
"You can't say that. After all, you can't blame others for their lack of martial ethics and their tendency to pick on weaklings. First of all, you have to blame yourself for being weak."
Zheng Fan said domineeringly to Chen Xian: "Pass this order, the whole army will speed up its rest and recuperation, and the grain, grass and military supplies will be counted now."
"Here!"
Zheng Fan looked at Zheng Man again:
"Order Chen Xiong to lead the vanguard and set off south immediately to meet Mr. Three's sentinels and spies."
"Here!"
"Are we about to start?" the sword master asked.
"Yes."
Zheng Fan turned the inkstone placed in front of him.
"I'm afraid of that side. I'm in a hurry."
"Which side?"
"What do you think? Where else could it be?"
"Where to wait?"
"It's impossible to wait for me at the foot of Shangjing City. As long as my army arrives at the foot of Shangjing City and just throws a stone on the city wall, the great victory of Liangdi that the gang finally achieved will be wiped out in one fell swoop, and they will have to back up. .
Why am I marching so slowly, and why do I have to rest in Chuzhou City?
The purpose is to make the defenders of the Qian Kingdom on the opposite side think that I, Zheng Fan, am going back to the old path of the past. "
"Then, how do you plan to leave?"
"Back then, because Li Bao was at the front to attract the main force of the Qian Army to fight all the way, Li Fusheng was given the opportunity to make a roundabout way and take the lead, enter Bianzhou County, and break into the Qianren Gyeonggi region.
This time, I plan to go in the opposite direction, not follow the path of Li Fusheng, but follow the path of Li Bao.
I bet that his gang will put the main force from the south on the roundabout road to intercept me.
I bet there are no bows and arrows in the Qianjun bowstring directly in front of him. "
"It seems like you shouldn't explain these words to me."
"It's you who keeps asking."
"I did that on purpose."
"Why?"
"Because I felt that you seemed a little panicked, so I kindly kept answering your questions."
"Thank you."
...
That night,
To be precise, at dusk, in the first year of the reign of Emperor Fu Wang Zhao, he drove his mother and his whole family out of the city into the military stronghold in a carriage.
He was afraid. He was afraid that King Pingxi would really leave without saying a word. If that happened, his Prince Fu's Mansion would really be devastated.
However, the prince did not allow Princess Fu to enter his handsome tent, but arranged for the group of people from Prince Fu's Mansion to be accommodated together.
Princess Fu is not the fourth mother,
Si Niang can accompany Zheng Fan to eat, drink and sleep in the handsome tent, but Si Niang is not a flower vase after all.
When you have free time on weekdays, you can relax leisurely, but in the handsome tent, the prince's mind is always very clear.
Liu Dahu came back and reported that the troupe was unwilling to leave, so the prince did not have any follow-up reaction to the matter.
As night falls the next day,
The Yan army withdrew from Chuzhou City.
In the early morning of the next day, the Yan army began to move south.
After confirming Yan Jun’s departure,
A small cadre army, only a few thousand people, who had been on the periphery, began to approach Chuzhou City and successfully "recovered" it.
Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner, following the old practices of Lanyang City;
After Chuzhou City returned to the control of the "Qian Kingdom", it began to restore contact with the imperial court, and a piece of information was sent up.
The big pot was all given to the King of Fortune, Zhao Yuannian. Of course, he shouldered the full responsibility.
The rest focuses on how Chuzhou City officials and the people fought desperately against the Yan people. At one point, it developed into street fighting, and everyone refused to retreat until the death;
Finally reinforcements arrived and drove away the Yanlu.
just,
When writing about Yanlu's final movements, the master encountered difficulties.
Since you have expelled the Yanlu, but if you write that they went south, is it still called an expulsion?
Is there any reason why the more people are expelled, the more they move toward their own country’s capital?
Therefore, after Yan Jun's subsequent movements, everyone began to blur the situation.
Those who are thick-skinned and weak-minded will say that the Yan army fled and failed to form an army;
Those who are thin-skinned and thick-minded said that after the Yan army was repulsed and could not take advantage, they moved to the southwest or southeast. I hope the court will make arrangements early to prevent the Yan people from taking advantage. After all, the defenders in other places are defending It is unlikely that generals and officials would sacrifice their lives for the country as much as I did.
But invisibly, one thing was confused, and that was the direction of the Yan army's advance. The Yan army turned around, which actually confirmed a certain possibility.
Of course, they are not the main force of confusion;
Because the sentry cavalry led by Xue San and the thousands of vanguard cavalry led by Chen Xiong were also moving in a roundabout way, trying their best to alert the enemy.
Next, there is an extremely boring long-distance march;
And when the main force of the army led by King Pingxi arrived in Xishan County, it proved that the previous gamble was successful.
Xishan County is the last line of defense to the north of Bianzhou County, the capital of Qian Kingdom.
In the defense system of Qian State, the three sides are the first defense chain, and the second chain is Xishan County;
When Li Bao's troops were here, they were held back by the Qian army and fell into a hard fight. It was the kind of fierce fighting in which one force was defeated and another force was immediately brought in. After another defeat, a new force was brought in. Li Bao also fought hard for this. Broken an arm.
But this time, when Zheng Fan's army passed by the county town of Xishan County and the area not far from Xishan Camp, the largest military camp in Xishan County, in an almost unattended manner, the cadres inside did not choose to come out to meet or intercept them. .
This means that their main force should go to the front line of Acacia Mountain.
Because it was Zheng Fan who suggested that Li Fusheng go to Xiangsi Mountain and let Li Bao act as a sandbag to attract hatred, and his family quickly made a leap forward and went straight to Beijing.
Maybe Ganren didn't expect that King Pingxi would dare to be so strong when he went deep alone.
Everyone thought he would go through the small door, but unexpectedly he left directly through the main door.
However, just when the Yan army was planning to pass through Xishan County in one fell swoop, and the soldiers and horses were approaching the southern border of Xishan County, a group of soldiers and horses appeared from the north.
There are a lot of soldiers and horses in this group, fifty or sixty thousand in number, but they have different armors, different standards, and scattered structures. At first glance, they look like King Qin's army put together temporarily.
However, this cadre army is different from the cadres who saw the flag of the Yan army on the road and only dared to stay put and wait for the Yan army to leave before daring to step forward to "recover the lost ground";
It seems that because they have understood the purpose of the Yan army, they began to march quickly and "desperately" to chase the Yan army almost regardless of their own safety.
The two armies, each with a size of nearly [-], would naturally not be chasing each other like children fighting, with one running and the other chasing. In fact, the peripheral contact and pulling between the two sides had already begun.
Furthermore, after passing through Xishan County and entering Bianzhou County, we still have to cross the Bianhe River, and the Bianhe River has not yet frozen. Therefore, in order to solve the problem after turning around, we have already solved the problem;
Under the order of Prince Pingxi,
The Yan army began to set up camp and wait for the dry army from the rear.
After closing the distance, the Gan army also chose to camp and settle down. While setting up camp, according to the reports from the sentries, deserters kept appearing there.
Obviously, the previous chase was still under control of the emotions of some soldiers, but once the Yan army stopped heading south and saw that they were about to fight the tiger, the soldiers became frightened and began to flee. .
It has already become like this before the fight. It is really the exclusive characteristic of Qianjun in his normal state.
but,
An envoy was sent to the military camp over there, and the envoy came to declare a battle. The two sides agreed to set up their formations in the field for a decisive battle starting the morning after tomorrow!
Immediately,
A primitive etiquette wind came to my face.
Zheng Fan also paid special attention to the signature under the declaration of war - Han Gen.
"What does this word mean?"
Zheng Fan asked A Ming beside him.
"Read: Sui."
"Oh."
The prince nodded, and then his attention fell on the series of titles in front of the name, Crown Prince, Tutor, Marquis of Ning'an, etc. The titles were too long to be read at a glance, which meant that this person was extraordinary. .
"It should be a senior official of the Qian Kingdom, or even... a certain Xianggong. Mr. Han? Xianba, call Zhao Yuannian."
"Here!"
Zhao Yuannian was called over. After reading the letter of challenge, he immediately gave the answer:
"When I return to the prince, it is Xianggong Han."
"The one who killed Mr. Thornface?"
Zhao Yuannian was stunned for a moment and said: "There is actually a reason, but the prince can understand it in this way, it is indeed that person."
"How old are you?"
"Probably, he is past his octogenarian years."
"So, the commander of that army is a civil servant who is over eighty years old?"
"Your Majesty, Mr. Han's temper has always been irritable and strong. Even when the officials found opportunities to appoint him to an official position because of your entry into the position, he often wrote letters to the officials to express their faults in governance."
"You are strong and impatient, I have noticed it. If you are not strong and impatient, you will not be able to do what you have to do to declare a decisive battle with me."
During the last attack on Qian, when the soldiers and horses from the three sides of Qian State were unable to return for reinforcements and the local soldiers and horses were defeated all the way, rebels organized by local officials appeared in every county of Qian State and went to Beijing to serve the king.
Come to think of it, this Han Xianggong took advantage of his own reputation and status, and he couldn't say that he still had something like the Shangfang Sword in his hand, so he forcibly mobilized and organized this army in his hometown to stop him.
"Xianba, please write a letter and write a reply to me, telling me about the decisive battle. I will accept it."
"Here!"
Zheng Fan has not yet decided whether to fight, when to fight, and whether to fight as agreed, but it does not prevent him from agreeing first.
Commitment, integrity, benevolence, etc. are not worth mentioning on the battlefield of intrigue.
just,
When this letter from King Pingxi was sent,
at dusk,
A messenger was sent from the northern military camp to deliver a second letter.
Chen Xianba opened the letter and delivered it to the prince.
The prince read the letter,
Then he turned to look at the sword master standing next to him.
Road:
"I feel like my character is back again."
The sword master was a little confused.
"Ha ha."
The prince patted the envelope,
Road:
"Isn't it going to be a decisive battle the day after tomorrow? Prime Minister Han promised me to meet in front of the two armies tomorrow. And it was also marked that according to ancient etiquette, one of the flag bearers can be chosen to accompany him."
This is actually the same as not killing the envoys when two armies are fighting. It is a customary etiquette that has been passed down for many years;
But a few years ago, this etiquette was shamed to the ground by one person.
But now,
The same people received the same invitation.
"Old Yu."
"What, you want me to be your flag bearer again and kill an 80-year-old man in front of the battle?"
"You're not going?"
"I don't want to go. When I killed Grimm, I could say that I was sacrificing trivial matters for the greater good. But what about now?"
"Hey, this can't be done. You have to go."
Prince Pingxi patted the table hard,
Road:
"If that old guy doesn't have martial ethics and is very bad, and the flag-bearer next to him is Baili Sword, what should I do?"
