The devil is coming

Chapter 906 General
"My child, go help daddy get it."
perhaps,
When Tiantian said these words, the thread of prophecy in the dark seemed to be connected again, at least at this point. However, it seemed to be extremely close, but in fact it had nothing to do with it.
but,
As an "old father",
After Zheng Fan heard these words from his son, he was sincerely relieved and happy;
It would be difficult for you to find another child as well-behaved and sensible as Tiantian. He almost fulfills all your fantasies about a "son". These fantasies are even a little too unrealistic, but they actually happen.
A kind father and a filial son,
This should be the most common and common truth, but in reality, it is often difficult to practice that kind of purity.
When people eat whole grains, they have to go through wind and rain, just like a newborn child, who looks innocent and cute at first, but slowly, it is no longer so "pleasant to the eye".
This is reality,
Just like streams flowing down in valleys and rivers rushing into the sea, it is natural;
However, there are always some people who, after solving the most basic problems, or when they are taking a break from work, always want to do some little fun of their own.
Looking at the big picture, it means using the power of a country to build water conservancy, and the management of Wangjiang River is one of them;
On the small side, people like Zheng Fan, whether they were in Hutou City at the beginning or Snow Customs in Cuiliu Castle and Shengle City after that, they would use at least eight points for every ten points. The remaining two points were not for saving, but for saving. Spent on pretense.
It’s not about working hard and enjoying being pretentious, but in order to live a life where you can be pretentious, you have to work hard on weekdays.
What kind of small goal does the blind man always have?
How could Zheng Fan not know?
But even so, in the past few years, Zheng Fan still asked the blind man to be Tiantian's initial teacher;
For precocious children, the first few years are actually the stage that has the greatest impact and shaping.
no way,
There is Lao Tian’s example before.
Zheng Fan didn't want Tiantian to follow his father's path.
Instead of being oppressed by the so-called righteousness and suffocating,
It's better to be like myself, if you really make me unhappy, I'll challenge you directly to Jinluan Palace!
For now,
The education of the blind is undoubtedly successful.
I, Zheng Fan, do not want to suffer any injustice in this life, and my son must do the same.
Zheng Fan held Tiantian's calf with both hands, and the father and son watched the killing below that was coming to an end.
The Chu people's spies made trouble, but failed to create any waves. What the regular army could not do, let the so-called spies and assassins do it. As long as they lose their initiative, the end will be extremely miserable.
quickly,
The shouts of killing below are less audible. It is estimated that the final pursuit and hunting phase has entered. There is no excitement in the game, so the ending will be even more boring.
The sword master had been sitting there without moving.
The swordswoman was leaning on the railing on the other side, with her back to Zheng Fan, and a hint of ridicule on her lips.
The lectures were separated,
He actually took the opportunity to do this to his own son, haha.
A little "hardness" in invisible places or on the surface is already the limit for the sword maid to confront Zheng Fan;
Zheng Fan put Tiantian down,
Looking at the sword master sitting there holding Long Yuan in his hand,
He couldn't help but laugh and said:
"Why are you so nervous all of a sudden?"
"I wasn't nervous at first." The sword master replied.
"Oh, is it because?"
The corner of the prince's eyes subconsciously began to spread around. The sword master's perception was very strong, and he could sense when there was danger or strong people around.
"Because of what you said before."
"What?"
"You said what the name of the town would be after you leave it. Suddenly something came to mind, and I couldn't help but want to hold the sword in my hand."
"what name?"
"Keep Zheng."
"..." Prince.
"Hehehe."
Seeing Zheng Fan's expression, the sword master smiled.
"This name is unlucky and needs to be changed." The prince said to himself, and then said to Tiantian beside him, "It's almost dawn."
Tiantian nodded and said:
"The child will go to his brother later to wash his feet and butt before going to sleep."
"No, daddy go to bed."
"Huh?" Tiantian was a little confused, "What's your father's order?"
"There was a lot of filth on the ground due to the commotion earlier. Take your brother to clean up the street."
"okay."
……
The first ray of sunlight appeared in the morning, leaving many corpses scattered on the streets of the town. Since they were fighting at close range and quickly, and they killed them directly from the beginning, the death conditions of these Chu spies were... That was quite miserable.
Many Chudi refugees who had been resettled received orders to clean up the streets.
For them, this is actually a deterrent, very direct, but absolutely very effective.
And during the cleaning process,
On both sides of the street, there were many guards in royal robes standing densely packed.
Inside,
There are two busy children.
……
"Isn't this a bit too much?" Chen Daole stood by the window on the second floor and looked at the scene below and said, "I know what our prince means is to tell them to practice courage, but..."
He Chunlai placed a bowl of oily noodles in front of Jin Shuke.
The prince went to bed,
Juggernaut, also went to bed.
But those two people can sleep peacefully, but the people below really dare not relax. The children are working while everyone is watching.
The sword maid shouted: "Brother He, I want more spicy food."
In fact, except for the quarrel with Zheng Fan, Sword Maid has always been very polite to others.
"it is good."
He Chunlai added more spicy pepper and brought the noodles over.
Subsequently,
He walked to Chen Daole who was standing by the window and asked;
"Are you going to eat?"
"How can I still have an appetite?" Chen Daole asked.
"Squeamish." He Chunlai said disdainfully.
"No, no, come and see for yourself."
Chen Daole grabbed He Chunlai and motioned for him to watch.
below,
There is a small cart next to Tiantian, and two children are cleaning it.
"Hmm, brother, it's actually so long?"
Tiantian picked up a head, walked to the trolley, and stacked it neatly;
He took two steps back, took a look, and then stepped forward to slightly adjust the direction of his head.
The prince is still playing there...
"Brother, stop playing, let's clean up quickly."
"Brother, look, there's more inside. It's so long."
then,
Tiantian also walked over to play with the prince...
He Chunlai said "Ah",
What he made today was oily noodles, but he also prepared fat sausage toppings.
At this time,
Jin Shuke also walked to the bedside with the noodle bowl in hand. While eating, he looked at the following scene and said:
"The prince is not afraid. I am quite surprised. He is worthy of being a descendant of the Ji family."
Being from the Ji family is a great compliment given by the barbarians to the children of the Ji family.
As for Tiantian, as a person close to the palace, Jin Shuke has certainly heard about some of the living conditions where Tiantian was a child. He is not afraid, it is really normal.
Furthermore, the tiger father has no sons. He has two great fathers. Under this kind of influence, it is difficult for him to have the courage to think big.
The cleaning work continued until the morning and finally ended.
Tiantian took the prince to take a bath and change his clothes, and then was led to dinner by the sword maid.
The two children sat down,
The sword maid specially added fat sausage topping on the noodles;
The two children were really hungry and ate very deliciously.
Instead, the sword maid looked at it and couldn't stand it anymore, so she ran to the kitchen and vomited.
……
The prince slept soundly, but not satiated enough;
I woke up just after noon.
The one who came to report was Jin Shuke himself.
"Enemy attack, smoke?"
Zheng Fan asked while adjusting his cuffs.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the smoke is rising from the fort at the [-]th mile crossing of the Wei River. It is the Chu army, but it is less than a thousand."
The message that smoke can convey is not only "enemy attack", but also the size of the enemy force depending on the smoke pipe and color.
In fact, there are not many Yan troops in the entire Shanggu County, including Liu Town where Zheng Fan is currently located.
There is a group on the other side of the Wei River, scattered scattered, and there are also some military villages in Shanggu County, each of which is small in size. The real army is at Zhennanguan.
The reason for this is that Shanggu County was originally a battlefield tacitly divided between Yan and Chu.
In other words, if the Chu people launch a large-scale Northern Expedition, the Yan people's Weihe River defense line will only be like paper, which will break if it is torn, and will not be able to stop the enemy at all.
In addition, the Chu people still have naval forces at their disposal, so crossing the Wei River will be very easy and simple.
This seems to mean that the Yan people are at a disadvantage, but this is not the case.
The Yan army is famous for its cavalry, and the Jindong of Pingxi Palace has created a truly elite cavalry since Xuehaiguan.
In other words,
There is actually no point for the Chu people to cross the Wei River. Unless they want to conquer Zhennanguan in one go, Shanggu County in Mapingchuan will become a purgatory for them to be divided and surrounded by the Yan army's cavalry.
Precisely because of the Zhennan Pass, the main troops from Eastern Jin Dynasty can be mobilized at any time. If the time is extended a little longer, other troops from Western Shanxi and Dayan will also enter this battlefield. Fancheng is still there. Able to take the initiative to provide support from the rear.
No matter how many elites the Chu people have, they are not enough to fill the gap here, unless they are confident enough to dare to have an upright field battle with the Yan people in this flat and vast land, and they must win.
It was precisely because both sides knew this situation that the Chu people chose to build a defense line on the south bank of the Wei River. The large area of ​​​​land in Shanggu County was actually a poison.
However, according to the results of this early warning and the messages sent back from the military fortresses in the area from the Weihe River to Liu Town, the size of the incoming Chu army was less than a thousand. Although they were all cavalry, they Just a few hundred rides.
The Yan army can easily handle an enemy attack of this scale.
Not only did he not need to alarm himself, he didn't even need to show up to Jinshu.
Of course, Zheng Fan also understood what Jin Shuke meant to report in person.
I wanted to transfer him away, but the Chu people suddenly violated the situation. No matter how you look at it, it's a bit too coincidental.
Zheng Fan reached out and patted Jin Shuke's shoulder.
Road:
"If your metal skills are so rough just for the sake of raising bandits, then I won't have to transfer you."
said,
Zheng Fan looked at the bright sun outside.
road;
"Has the location been determined?"
"He's heading to Liuzhen."
"Oh? It's interesting. Let's go. Let's go out and see which family's child from Chu State disturbed my good sleep."
……
The royal guards were dispatched, and a group of cavalry escorted the prince out of the town.
At a position more than 60 miles away from Liuli Town, several groups of Yan army cavalry had formed a siege on the Chu army that dared to go deep alone.
But the strange thing about this Chu army was that when faced with the encirclement, they did not choose to break out of the encirclement immediately. Instead, they all reined in their horses and stopped. At the same time, they also sent envoys to express their surrender.
Therefore,
When the prince arrived with his personal guards, ready to stretch his muscles, what he saw was a group of Chu people who had taken away their horses, confiscated their weapons, and even had their armor removed and were sitting on the ground.
Jin Shuke went to understand the situation first, and then came back immediately to report:
"Your Majesty, this Chu army claims to be the Royal Forbidden Army of the Kingdom of Chu. It is escorting the family members of the late master to surrender."
Zheng Fan took a look at this scene.
road;
"It used to be quite a lot, right?"
"There are often people who claim to be Chu nobles or have committed crimes, but..."
"But you've never seen anything like this?"
"Yes."
Political asylum is not a patent for future generations. In fact, it has existed since ancient times. If you cannot survive in your own country or if you have committed an offense and are afraid of being punished, you will most likely run to another country.
They are different from ordinary refugees. Because of their different status, they can often be properly resettled in another country.
However, several hundred Chu royal imperial guardsmen did not hesitate to take risks and came directly from the Weihe River to this place. Obviously, the person they wanted to escort must have a high status. Ordinary nobles would at most bring a few trusted servants along with them, even if they were well treated. .
After all, although Yan is now strong and Chu is weak, a large-scale unification war has not yet broken out. Therefore, for Chu State, it is far from the time when the tree falls and the hozens scatter their flags on a large scale.
"Bring this person up and take a look."
"Here!"
quickly,
A woman with two children, a boy and a girl, was brought to Zheng Fan by the Jinyi guards.
The woman saluted Zheng Fan:
"Meet the general."
Zheng Fan is not wearing a python robe, nor is he riding a Pixiu, and his iconic equipment is not there. It is not surprising that the woman thinks that she is a general of the Yan Kingdom.
"I am very curious, whose family members have such a big defection ceremony?"
"Returning General...Prince?"
The woman obviously noticed Zheng Fan's claim.
immediately,
His expression changed.
This became too obvious, and he subconsciously took two steps back. His eyes immediately began to turn red, with a very clear look of fear and hatred.
This change made the prince sitting on the horse feel a little embarrassed.
But soon,
The woman calmed down,
Kneel on the ground and salute:
"Replying to the prince, the commoner's wife is Nian Yao's wife, and they are the son and daughter of the commoner's wife and her husband."
Zheng Fan's eyes narrowed slightly,
Nian Yao's wife and these two children?
However, this can explain the look on the woman's face after knowing her identity. It was not because of the so-called Feng Criticism.
But myself,
She had castrated her husband herself.
The prince glanced at the woman again. Nian Yao was his uncle's son-in-law when he was in the mansion. It is said that his wife was also a maid in the mansion;
When Nian Yao first rose to prominence in the Chu Kingdom, the nobles of the Chu Kingdom joked and despised them as slaves and slaves.
Perhaps the Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager have seen more and their appreciation level has also improved. In Zheng Fan's eyes, Nian Yao's wife is quite ordinary.
Of course, Zheng Fan has no time to think about these things now;
Things are very clear now,
Under the operation of Chu State's spies, the Dayan Secret Intelligence Department contacted Nian Yao's old department and was able to send Nian Yao's wife and children out of Chu State.
But behind this,
And what does it mean?
Six sons,
I castrated Nian Yao myself and sent him to the palace for you to play with;
But you took out Rennian Yao’s wife and children,
What are you going to do?
……
Zheng Fan stayed in Liuliu Town for a few more days, and then returned slowly.
This time we came out and everything went smoothly. There was no glitch in the collection of military power at Xue Customs and Zhennanguan. Therefore, we had plenty of time. We didn't have to rush back like last time to avoid being too late to accompany my wife to give birth to the baby.
As for Nian Yao's wife and children, Zheng Fan did not detain them at all, but directly sent people to escort them to the west.
The prince even said hello specially,
Let Nian Yao's family members not enter Fengxin City, but directly let the guys from the Secret Service Office of Fengxin City take over and send them to Yanjing City.
……
Yanjing;
palace;
General Nian, oh no, it’s General Nian, who is eating at this time.
Since becoming the chief steward, he has been well-dressed and has a big red robe; not to mention the food, the steward has his own special stove. Although it is not as elaborate as the emperor and queen, there is a separate kitchen for each meal. A few side dishes, wine and meat will satisfy your appetite.
The day before yesterday,
The emperor called him over again, looked at the map of Qian Kingdom, and asked him some questions about the rebellion among the natives in the southwest of Qian Kingdom, and he also gave answers.
After taking a sip of the lion's head and another sip of wine, Nian Yao let out a long sigh.
"What about eating?"
A voice came from outside.
Nian Yao immediately put down his chopsticks and knelt down:
"I see your Majesty, long live your Majesty!"
"Get up."
After Ji Chengjue came in, he sat directly on the chair, and Eunuch Wei stood beside the emperor.
"I have something happy to tell you."
"Your Majesty, why are you so happy?"
“I don’t know what happened;
The spies of our Secret Service in the Chu Kingdom actually managed to get in touch with your wife and children, and also contacted some of your old subordinates. Finally, at the cost of a lot of casualties, they brought your wife and children back from the Chu Kingdom. , and contacted Zhennanguan.
Jindong has already transferred your wife and children to the Secret Service. "
Heard this news,
Nian Yao's face immediately showed a look of joy,
He immediately kowtowed and said:
"His Majesty has shown great kindness to me, and I swear that I will die for your Majesty in the future."
"Don't thank me. I didn't do anything. It's just your luck."
"This is His Majesty's great protection and His Majesty's blessing."
"Okay, stand up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The emperor stood up and prepared to leave;
But when I got to the door,
The emperor suddenly stopped again,
Tap your forehead lightly,
Road:
"Look at my memory. I was only busy congratulating you, but I forgot one thing."
Nian Yao, who had just stood up, immediately leaned down and bowed:
"Please show your majesty."
"That's when your wife and children were crossing Wangjiang River.
There was a strong wind and the boat capsized;
What about people?
All drowned. "
