The devil is coming

Chapter 858 Untitled
It was raining all the time, and the atmosphere was not very harmonious.
Of course, it is unrealistic to want to harmonize. The situation is clearly laid out here. The two coaches on both sides have no need to pretend to act like "Zhu Xiaben's family".
Han Gen is an old man and has experienced countless glory and storms in his life. For such an old man, he has become more and more casual in the rest of his life;
As for Prince Pingxi, he is much more "old" than the old man in front of him. This is his second life.
You disgust me,
Row,
I will immediately respond with disgust.
Anyway, your butt is not clean when you are an official and an ancestor of the country, so we can just pull it at will.
His Royal Highness Prince Rui, Zhao Mugou, did not show any panic when faced with this kind of teasing about "going up and down the line". Instead, he had a smile on his face, as if he was cooperating with Prince Pingxi's joke.
There were only four people present;
With a prince of Yan and a swordsman of Jin, and his husband as his prime minister, Zhao Mugou really didn't have the need to pretend to be "sincere and fearful";
First, you can't fool these people, and second, there is no need to go through this process at all.
Xianggong Han did not dwell on this matter, but said "hum".
Road:
"My lord, right now, all the heavenly troops are behind me."
"Oh, then I am really scared to death."
In fact, the Sword Master, who had been pretending to be asleep, noticed one detail, that is, Zheng Fan today seemed to have a little more... baggage than before.
The "baggage" here does not refer to a style that must be supported, but seems to be a little more deliberate in speaking and doing things.
You can see the clues when it comes to changing clothes.
This person who usually does things in daily life is usually used to be pretentious, but he is not really particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation.
"If the prince abandons his sword and surrenders at this time, I can guarantee his good reputation in this life. If the prince can work for me, his status will remain unchanged, and he will enjoy wealth and honor forever."
"I wonder if Xianggong Han has forgotten that my king's foundation is in the east of Jin Dynasty. When you say that his status will remain unchanged, does it mean that the Qian Kingdom is willing to let my king break the earth on a dry land and become the king?"
"What's wrong with this? If the prince wants to build a palace, he has no choice but to choose a place. Although I won the battle in Liangdi, it is still the time when Yan Sheng is in decline. As long as the prince is willing to come, the official The family and the court will meet all the prince’s requirements.”
"Okay, Qian Country has beautiful mountains, rivers and beautiful scenery. I have wanted to come and see it for a long time;
Earlier, Bailong Yufu had planned to secretly go to the south of the Yangtze River to play tricks, but he was really worried that the silver-armored guards of the Qian Kingdom would come to trouble me, so he never made the trip. "
"Haha, the prince's poems, lyrics, and poems are highly praised by Yao Zizhan. With my magnificence, I will definitely be able to harmonize the prince in the arts.
It will be recorded in the history books in the future that the prince was a master of both military art and culture. There was no one before, and it would be almost impossible to do so in the future. Isn't it wonderful? "
Zheng Fan pointed behind him,
at the moment,
To the north is King Qin's division organized by Han Xianggong, and to the south is the Yan army. Therefore, Zheng Fan's direction at this time is to the south, south of Xishan County, which is Bianzhou County.
"If the State of Qian is willing to cede Bianzhou County to me, I would rather submit to the State of Qian. In this beautiful country of Daqian, I will live happily and dream of death, and I will not miss Yan."
Xianggong Han stood up and
Road:
"Your Majesty, there is no way to talk about this."
"There is no way to talk about it in the first place. To put it bluntly, you are just an old man in office. If you don't enjoy your old age at home, you have to go out and cause some trouble.
Do you think you are still the same as before?
Perhaps even your so-called official has long been impatient with you, but he doesn't know it yet.
Let’s not talk about whether your Qianguo can provide conditions that can impress this king. Let’s talk about the present situation. Unless your official family is here personally, who is qualified to stand here and talk to this king? "
"In that case...then I will learn the prince's clever tricks on the battlefield."
"No later than tomorrow evening, I will ask you, an old man, to kneel in front of me and beg for mercy!"
"I will not let you kneel down, Your Majesty. I will pretend to be a polite and virtuous corporal."
immediately,
Prince Rui raised the flag, and on the other side, the Sword Master also pulled out the flag stuck in the ground. The two sides staggered and went back.
……
"I've wronged you, Lao Yu."
When walking back, Zheng Fan opened his mouth to comfort the sword master.
"So, what was this talk about?"
As a bystander, the sword master realized that nothing was said at all, so he simply quarreled.
"Actually, it doesn't matter what we are talking about, because there is no room for negotiation at all. You know how I will be treated in Yan State. Do you think Qian State might give me this treatment?"
The sword master shook his head and said: "Even if Qian Guo is willing to give it, you won't really let go and try to see if the other party will keep his promise."
"Yes, my price is too high now. If I want to poach someone, I can't raise the price at all."
Today’s Zheng Fan,
further,
Do not,
Even if it's just half a step further, you can become independent directly.
Therefore, if you want to poach him, unless you are willing to send him to the throne, this is absolutely impossible.
"Then why does he still come to talk about this?"
Zheng Fan smiled and said,
Road:
"Have a chat, say a few words, and the day will be over."
"Is he trying to delay time?"
"Not sure, but probably."
"how about you?"
"I said I was waiting to see what happens, do you believe it?"
"He is waiting, you are waiting for him, but this is Qian Country after all, so you are at a disadvantage."
Zheng Fan replied: "I'm waiting for him."
"It's a bit convoluted."
"Maybe, I'm also betting. By the way, Lao Yu, do you trust your intuition?"
"intuition?"
"For example, if a dream suddenly gives you a warning, would you believe it?"
"You should ask Mr. Bei this question."
"The blind man is in Zhao land. I want to hear what you have to say."
"Every day you think about something and you dream about it at night. What you dream about is nothing more than what you think about during the day."
"Yes." Zheng Fan nodded, "It's actually quite uncomfortable, you know?"
"Oh?"
"He is trying hard to pretend that he thinks he is noble, which is the established impression that we Yan people, no, Yan, Jin and Chu have on the civil servants of Qian State;
He is acting in that direction, but I can feel that he is quite tired from acting.
Although there have been rumors in the world that he was the one who said that "Only those who sing from Donghuamen are good men", and there are also rumors that it was he who personally forced Mr. Thorny to death.
Idiot, short-sighted, and arrogant, this should be his image, but in fact, I have known for a long time that it should not be like this.
Since ancient times, except for those few lucky people, such as eunuchs and mianshou, who have seriously competed from the bottom to the top step by step, under the survival of the fittest, where can there be room for a lucky fool? "
"You're pretending too."
"Now that everything has been seen, the proof may seem to him that I must be quite tired of pretending."
Zheng Fan smiled self-deprecatingly,
road;
"He was once a highly respected minister and a veteran of three dynasties. As for me, the king of the cracked earth, I have actually lost all awe in my head.
Without awe, there is no professionalism.
I am too lazy to devote myself wholeheartedly to acting.
the most important is,
We all know each other well,
No matter how good you are at acting, there is a high probability that it will be difficult to escape the other person's eyes, so you are even less willing to put in the extra effort.
Ugh,
It would be great if I could cut out pictures.
I don’t have to walk here anymore. "
"What is cutout?"
"It comes from a strange story called Painted Skin. I will tell it to you next time I have a chance."
……
“He must be very tired too, haha;
He actually deliberately wore the python robe of the vassal king of my country to see me, deliberately showing off his domineering, arrogant and arrogant attitude in front of me. "
"My husband, Mr. Xiang, means that the prince of Yan Kingdom is acting?"
"Who isn't?" Han Gen touched his white beard.
"That prince, have you discovered the clues?"
"That's not certain."
Zhao Mu said, "But I already feel that we have done a good job."
"Since ancient times, there has been no flawless scam. The man who studied under King Jingnan himself has made great achievements in battle. Just like the old boy Yao Zizhan once said, the writing is made by nature, and the skillful hands can accidentally acquire it.
No matter how well-arranged and meticulously arranged we are here,
can't say,
If the other person has a dream while sleeping at night, he will be able to tell that something is wrong. "
"How can there be such a magical thing?"
"Nian Yao, the great general of Chu State, was also a great figure. He once stood alongside King Pingxi. What is his fate now?
When a person reaches a certain height, there will be no chance, and there may even be luck involved. "
"Luck..."
Han Gen stretched out his hand, put it on Zhao Mugou's shoulder, and said:
"You are a good boy."
"Husband looks like..."
"If I am still above the imperial court, and if the Yan people have never invaded our Dagan territory, after getting along with you for a while, I will definitely inform the officials secretly and send silver-armored guards to give you an unexpected surprise. , young man died young.”
"I……"
"Fortunately, I have become an official now, and as the Pingxi King said, the officials have long been tired of my words. Of course, this is not the main thing..."
"Thank you, husband."
"Don't thank me, thank yourself. Prince Su Wenrui is a fool, but you didn't cover it up after you met me.
Just in terms of practicing this state of mind,
None of the princes in the capital can compare with you.
You have figured out what I am thinking, right? "
"Whatever my husband thinks is true, that's what it is. I don't dare to refute it."
"Actually, you know, since Emperor Taizong, the suppression and reduction of Emperor Taizu's lineage are often not official intentions.
More, it still means being a veteran minister like me.
To put it bluntly, whether one is a descendant of Emperor Taizu or Emperor Taizong makes no difference to a person like me.
I have served three generations of emperors. Emperors are actually no different from human beings.
What kind of emperor, what a vision, maybe it will be blown up in the history books, but I am so unlucky that I have never encountered it even once.
As a scholar, what I want is a long-cherished wish for Jun Yao and Shun.
When the Holy King is in power, it is best not to worry about anything and just have children with peace of mind. I, the scholar, can take care of the state affairs for the officials and the family.
Therefore,
Which lineage is sitting in that position, and how did he get this position? We won't care too much about it. "
Zhao Mugou said;
"But, Mr. Xiang, isn't it because of you scholars who failed to manage the country well that the current situation has occurred?"
Han Gen stopped and turned to look at Zhao Mugou;
At this time, the cadres who came to meet them were still in front. Looking around, they were the only ones, old and young.
Zhao Mugou also looked directly at Han Gen;
Han Gen was not angry;
Asked rhetorically:
"Is Yan State very good?"
"Yan Country..."
"Is the life of the people of Yan State good?"
"But……"
"Good or bad depends on which angle you look at it. In this world, there is no absolute good or complete bad, just like the black and white Tai Chi of Taoism.
In recent years, the State of Yan has begun to hold imperial examinations, giving children from poorer families a chance to make progress. But I have been doing it for a long time, and the imperial examinations have been in existence for a hundred years.
In these years, the Yan Kingdom has been fighting in the south and north. How can their people, as well as the people of Jin, live well?
The lives of the people in the north of our country are very tight, but at least the prosperity and well-being of the south of the Yangtze River can be guaranteed. As for the north, if there were not the burden of the three sides, the lives of the people would still be better.
You think my Qianjun is weak, you think Yanjun is strong;
Do you think that my emphasis on civil and military affairs has led to the current situation?
But I never thought that before Emperor Taizu established Daqian, the fertile land of our Xia Dynasty was a time when heroes were fighting endlessly, warriors were in power, etiquette was broken, and the people were in dire straits.
I can only say that there is no perfect method in the world. I can only say that a hundred years ago, or even ten years ago, it was right to emphasize culture and suppress military force.
But who would have expected that the sudden rise of the Yan State caught my country by surprise, and it did not respond to correct its national policy. This is why I, Da Gan, are in such a mess now.
Everyone said that I was the one who killed Mr. Thorny-faced with my own hands back then.
But how many people remember that at that time, the Western Army was all following the leader's lead, and its prestige was not inferior to the two kings of Jingnan and Zhenbei of the Yan Kingdom in the past.
You only saw that Mr. Zhong was still working hard to maintain this situation for me in his old age, but you never saw that when he was young, he followed Mr. Thorny Face and advocated fighting all the way to the capital and overturning the world!
You only saw how confident and domineering Prince Pingxi of the Yan Kingdom was before, but you should also think about it. Now that he is in eastern Shanxi, his territory is already impenetrable.
The former emperor of Yan State was talented and strategic, so he was able to suppress King Jingnan, the king of Zhenbei. The current emperor of Yan State and the king of Pingxi had a close relationship, and the new emperor's methods were also very powerful, quite like his father's style. That's all , I am afraid that I have to be extremely careful to appease this King Pingxi Buddha.
But during the reign of Emperor Qianguo, Emperor Renzong was known as "Benevolent", but in fact he had a cowardly character and was hesitant in doing things. As the supreme leader of the Nine Five-Year Plan, he was naturally foresight and hesitation.
How can such a cowardly master tame the assassin-faced gentleman?
Use it, but don’t dare to use it again;
Touch, but I don’t have the confidence to touch;
etc., and worried about repeating the story of Emperor Taizu wearing a yellow robe;
Derogatory, but also afraid of provoking resistance;
Killing, but also afraid of tarnishing the name of benevolence that he has only gained through a lifetime of incompetence. "
Speaking of which,
Mr. Han paused.
continued:
"Whether we should emphasize literature and suppress martial arts actually does not depend on the literati, but on the officials. The officials themselves are incompetent. Let alone lifting the sword, if it is difficult to even lift it, how dare they trust the military people?
Literati are nothing more than wrapping their swords in cloth.
Today's official family is a rare wise man. He wants to restart the blade, so let's restart it. It's time to do these things.
The world says,
It was because after the Yan people attacked the city of Shangjing that time, the officials were furious, so we had to resign and return home.
In fact, it was my own fault. To use the blade, I naturally had to pull off the smelliest and hardest pieces of cloth first.
Without a few of us old guys voluntarily retreating, how could his official family be so calm?
I am not saying this to put money on my face. After all, with the situation of the country and the situation of the country, we are bound to have nothing to do with it. The mistake is that we did not expect the sudden rise of Yan State, nor did we expect it. It turns out that after Wen Tian's martial arts show, my military equipment was weakened to this extent.
The mistake is that we sit so high, but we can't see so far, haha. "
Zhao Mugou has been listening carefully.
who ever imagined,
The last words that Mr. Han said before the troops arrived from the front shocked him.
Xianggong Han said;
"So, you have to learn to stand on tiptoe."
After the soldiers came over, the old man and the young man stopped talking.
The outside of the Ganjun military camp was in chaos, and from time to time there were scenes of deserters being caught and whipped.
But when they walked into the inner circle of the military stronghold, they found that the layout of the inner stronghold was reasonable and orderly. The soldiers were walking in formations, and the training teams were also full of murderous intent.
Zu Xinyue, the adopted son of Marshal Haidong, came to greet him in person:
"My husband, Your Highness, thank you for your hard work."
"The ancestral rule is hard work." Zhao Mugou immediately said politely. As a member of the Taizu Emperor's lineage, at least for now, he does not have any qualifications to win the throne.
Xianggong Han asked:
"Can you be sure?"
"As far as I can tell you, my husband, the general has made arrangements in the inner stronghold. There are [-] ancestral troops of mine, and the Yan army..."
Zhao Mugou immediately asked: "The Yan army must not be able to break the stronghold?"
Zu Xinyue shook her head, but also smiled: "If the King Pingxi on the opposite side really wants to attack the stronghold desperately, it will be difficult for him to rely on the [-] Zu family troops newly formed on three sides. Keep it.
But if the Prince of Pingxi is willing to cheat like this and eat our army forcefully, then after this battle, this Yan army will no longer be able to take care of him in our Dagan territory.
In the final analysis, we still took advantage. "
...
The next day,
It was the day both sides agreed to set up their battle formations in the field for a decisive battle.
What is surprising is that Qian Jun stayed at the military camp and never went out.
However, what is even more unexpected is that the Yan army on the opposite side is doing the same, clinging to the military stronghold with no intention of attacking.
The sworn statement of war was tacitly regarded as nothing by both parties.
The rain this day was heavier than yesterday.
On the Yan army's side, inside the commander's tent;
Prince Pingxi sat on the floor and told the story of "painted skin" to Juggernaut, Zhao Yuannian and Chen Xianba. He especially used many adjectives to describe the beauty of the female ghost's skin-changing appearance.
On the other side of Ganjun,
Mr. Han Xianggong is in the military tent.
I warmed a pot of rice wine,
Two glasses were poured, he drank one, and spilled another;
Old Xianggong Zhong died of illness a long time ago, so few people can still remember that today is actually the death anniversary of Xianggong Xiangmian.
What is even less well-known is that Han Gen back then was actually a true confidant with the assassin-faced husband.
"Old Han, let me do it for you. Those brats below can't be suppressed. We have finally pacified the Southwest and Northern Qiang. Don't cause any more trouble."
Han Gen’s old hands,
Gently pick up a handful of water from outside the tent, and then slowly drop it;
"They all envied how the Yan State could produce Tian Wujing and take care of the affairs of the king and the world, regardless of his reputation before and after his death;
But I'm going to do it,
There was also you. "
