The devil is coming

Chapter 877
One bowl of pickles, two bowls of porridge, three steamed buns, four waiters;
Nian Yao, who had long hair, silently picked up the bowls and chopsticks and began to eat. He ate quickly but also very carefully.
The last two pickles were eaten with the last mouthful of porridge, and then the last half of the steamed bun was used to wipe the little oil stains on the bottom of the porridge bowl and pickle bowl;
When Nian Yao took the last bite, he wiped his fingers with a look of satisfaction and happiness on his face.
"This appetite makes me very envious."
A majestic voice came from behind the screen in front;
All four chamberlains knelt down;
Nian Yao also stood up and performed the Chu ceremony;
Ji Chengjue walked in, and Wei Zhonghe behind him put down a cushion and asked Ji Chengjue to sit up.
"Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Nian Yao stood up.
"It is said that this man has gold at his knees, and you Chu people have a tradition of having wronged ministers seek refuge in the river to prove their innocence. Why don't I see any of it here?"
After General Nian entered the palace,
When it’s time to kneel, kneel quickly;
When it’s time to say hello, also say hello warmly;
When it's time to eat, I eat better than anyone else.
even,
Every once in a while, he also clamored to take a bath and incense, saying that he was newly castrated, and the knife of Prince Pingxi was fast but careless, which led to his current situation, which was always frequent and urgent. , if not complete, add a fork;
He didn't think it mattered to him, but he was afraid that it would offend the nobles.
at this time,
Facing the inquiry from the Emperor of Yan State,
Nian Yao smiled and replied:
"Your Majesty, you know that the most people who seek refuge in Mijiang every year are not the officials and nobles, but the common people and slaves of Guizhou."
"Oh?"
"But the world only praises their innocence and nobleness, and ignores the piles of bones under their corpses at the bottom of the river.
The slave is not from a noble family. Even if the slave has reached the position of the general of Chu State, it is because the slave himself has this ability and can relieve the king's worries.
Since you can support yourself, why bother making things difficult for yourself in the end? "
"Then what you mean is that if I give you a bite of food, you will keep the rules for me?"
Nian Yao smiled,
Road:
"This servant is willing to help His Majesty, as long as Your Majesty is willing."
"Haha." Ji Chengjue shook his head, "The man from Chu State has raised you for half your life, and in the end, is this what you want in return?"
"Your Majesty, no matter how ferocious a tiger is, it will still become docile after being put in a cage. In order to beg for work, it can even make cat-and-dog movements."
"Yo? Are you impatient?"
"This slave is afraid of delaying your Majesty's business. Your Majesty has so many things to do, how can he have so much free time to mess with a prisoner slave?"
"Hey, you don't understand this. Do you know why Zheng Fan sent you to the palace?"
"Is it to make you king?"
"whispering sound."
The emperor shook his head disdainfully and said:
"For him, is it really that important whether he is Pingxihou or Pingxiwang?
He sent you here just so that I could entertain you and relieve your boredom in my free time. "
After hearing these words, Nian Yao nodded seriously:
"I see."
"Have you read the military reports I sent a while ago?" Ji Chengjue asked.
"Reply to Your Majesty, all servants have read it."
"Did you look carefully?"
"My servant watched it very carefully. I was just waiting for Your Majesty to ask questions. After I answered my question, I still hope that my next meal will be meatier. I was born as a lowly slave, and I have been addicted to meat all my life."
"Then do you know why I came to ask you specifically?"
"Because of the official family of the state."
"Qianguoguanjia?"
"Because Prince Pingxi once pointed at that official and said he didn't know how to fight. As soon as this example started, unless the official could achieve success in martial arts, otherwise, I think this anecdote might become a legend in the future. proverb."
"Hehehe."
"Also, although Your Majesty is full of civil and military officials, who can be more pure than a prisoner like this slave?"
"Tell me."
"The minister obeys the order."
Nian Yao opened his mouth, but then looked at Ji Chengjue cautiously and asked:
"Your Majesty, can you please allow me to speak slowly?"
Ji Chengjue nodded slightly.
Nian Yao said, "The origin of this war comes from the fact that over the years, the two kingdoms of Qian and Chu, together with Yan, have been oppressed very hard and have been overwhelmed.
The morale of the army and the people, top and bottom, once the influence of ears and eyes forms a habit, then the generals of Yan will always be strong and the generals of Qianchu will always be weak. Given time, it is no illusion to defeat the enemy without fighting.
That's why I took a desperate risk in Fan City, but I failed.
After the failure of the minister, the situation between Qian and Chu will become more tense, and the alliance between Qian and Chu will become more consolidated. Even if Yan cannot be defeated in the overall situation, he should be able to defeat Yan in one corner.
Therefore, there was an ambush by the elite Liang, Di, Qian, and Chu coalition forces. "
Ji Chengjue closed his eyes and listened, tapping his knees lightly with his knuckles.
Nian Yao continued:
"Your Majesty gave Ganchu this chance."
After saying this, Nian Yao looked at Ji Chengjue's expression carefully.
After hearing this, the emperor showed a faint smile on his lips, making it impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry;
“When the first emperor of Yan was there, he asked the eldest prince to lead the army, but he was defeated in the battle;
Your Majesty's desire to withdraw military power was actually to give King Ping Xi the power to divide the Jin region. However, your Majesty used it inhumanely, causing chaos in the Sushan camp, which led to the mobilization of Hu Weibo and the subsequent annihilation of the entire Liang army.
I can understand what your Majesty wants to do, but... Your Majesty, dividing the military power and strengthening the morale of the military is not a single decree or the linkage of local courts. It is not that simple.
Because Your Majesty, you cannot leave Yanjing City in person and go into battle. "
"I thought about this later and realized that I was indeed too hasty and used the wrong method. As you said, I shouldn't have sent people to cut it because I couldn't call myself a general.
I should be like doing business and promote more shopkeepers. "
"Your Majesty is wise. Those who your Majesty can command and conquer are the generals and generals. Even if the military power is transferred to the court, the process still has to be done by others.
It is easy to win the heart of one person, but it is difficult to win the heart of ten thousand people. "
"Let's put this aside for a moment. The main reason I'm here this time is to hear your views on the upcoming battle."
"Your Majesty, King Pingxi led his army to go on an expedition. Although the scene was majestic, Yan State should no longer have the ability to provide logistical supplies. Therefore, there was no other way for King Pingxi to deprive the enemy of food. But this happened, so that he should have been able to The Yan army, which occupied the frontal advantage on the battlefield, could not wait patiently to find a loophole.
When masters fight each other, the strong one should have the advantage of seeing every move, but the Yan army does not. "
"The country is weak and there is nothing we can do." Ji Chengjue shook his finger and continued, "Then what happens next? What do you think King Pingxi will do when he leads his army to attack?"
Nian Yao swallowed.
road;
"It's a move... a bad move!"
Ji Chengjue opened his eyes and looked at Nian Yao.
"Obviously, King Pingxi was unable to open up a situation in the Liang region, and because he was burdened by his famous reputation, he was unwilling to make a tacit agreement with the Qian-Chu coalition forces to withdraw while he was advancing. He did not want to mobilize troops and only get this superficial victory.
Therefore, King Pingxi led his army to Qian.
He was gambling, he was being willful, he just didn't want to lose his reputation of being victorious in every battle! "
"There are many ministers in the court who agree with you." Ji Chengjue said, "Speaking of King Ping Xi, he does not put the country, the country, and the country as the most important thing, but takes his own reputation as important, and takes risks in order to harm the country of the Yanjiang Mountains. malfeasance."
"Your Majesty, they are right." Nian Yao affirmed.
"But I don't want to hear this. I have ordered the people of Yan to carry out supplies and support Nanwang City as much as possible, and asked my eldest brother to come forward and involve the three sides of Ganren."
"It is precisely because of this that I believe that King Pingxi has gone crazy. He clearly knows that it is difficult for the Yan State to fight a war with the strength of the whole country. Even if there are Yan State cavalry, there are no auxiliary soldiers and no civilians, so forcefully Going to war is nothing more than having one adventure after another.
And if King Pingxi fails, and even he himself becomes the same as Uncle Hu Wei, then Dayan will immediately..."
Having said this, Nian Yao took a deep breath and breathed it out slowly.
"Finished?"
"No."
"Hurry up then, I have to leave."
"What I am helpless about is that even though I firmly believe, or even determine, that King Pingxi's entry into Qian was really just a hot-headed and hasty move without regard for the overall situation...
but,
I feel that King Pingxi is likely to succeed. "
"Oh?" Ji Chengjue was a little surprised, "What's the point of this?"
"Because I lost to him."
"You mean, he has good luck?"
"No, I don't naively think that my failure is just because of bad luck, but because King Pingxi himself is the best at this kind of strategy of running thousands of miles without caring about the overall situation.
When the situation cannot be opened, choose the path you are best at, and maybe you can pry open the crack.
I always thought that Prince Jingnan was the kind of person who could do things that others could not do. In fact, Prince Pingxi was the same. "
"When I saw the news in front of me, the first thing I thought of was that the man surnamed Zheng ran to the foot of Shangjing City again to show off his power to the official family of Qianguo.
When he comes back, he might even make some excuses in person, telling me that he wanted to say hello to that official on my behalf..."
Ji Chengjue leaned forward slightly.
continued;
"But I can guarantee that he definitely didn't even mention me and just wanted to enjoy himself."
obviously,
When Yao said the "auspicious words", the emperor of Yan suddenly felt much better.
General Nian echoed with a smile:
"It's impossible for Prince Pingxi to just stop doing anything and attack Shangjing City on behalf of Your Majesty."
"Nian Yao, are you teasing me?"
"I dare not."
"Okay, let me lend you some good advice. If the man named Zheng can really pierce me in Shangjing City, I will let you choose one of the nine prison guards in the palace to be the general manager, hahaha."
"This slave sends you your Majesty's greetings!"
finished,
The emperor stood up and walked out of the side hall.
Nian Yao looked at his palms with some melancholy, and wanted to give him a slap in the face. He hesitated for a moment, and then put it down. The emperor of Yan Kingdom, the courage and courage in his bones were really nothing compared to It's a pity that he was a bad master. After all, he was a little frivolous. In the end, he didn't even finish the meal at night. What a loss.
"sleep."
Nian Yao began to take a nap. Since he entered the Yan Palace, he was actually a prisoner living in the palace. He ate and slept every day. After the war started, he was sent to the front to see the battle situation.
A nap and a good sleep.
After waking up,
The young general walked inside, placed the spittoon, untied his waist rope, took off his coat, spread his legs, and squatted down to relieve himself.
The work is not done delicately. If you want to avoid being suffocated by the smell of your own urine, you have to pay extra attention when it is convenient on weekdays.
The solution is completed, eliminating the need for a dangling step;
Instead, he carefully wiped both sides of his thighs with tissue paper before standing up unsteadily.
Reach out and touch it,
what,
What about my clothes?
General Nian was about to call someone, but suddenly a group of young eunuchs rushed in, holding red-robed eunuch uniforms in their hands.
"Minions, please pay your respects to Grandpa, the steward!"
"Greetings to Grandpa, the steward!"
The young general was a little confused.
Then he slapped himself on the forehead suddenly,
"Ah! Ah!"
First he roared twice,
immediately,
Kicked over the spittoon,
Don't care about the dirt,
He sat down on the ground,
His hands hit the floor tiles hard,
He cried.
