Standing in front of the gate of Kaifeng City, Jiang Wuye rode on a horse wrapped in red gold silk clothes all over his body, and excitedly waved his golden and precious hand at the bustling people of Kaifeng, "Ugly man, look, you see, this Song country is the state of dignified etiquette!"

"How enthusiastic the people of the Song Kingdom are! Much more enthusiastic than the people of our Qi Kingdom!"

Jiang Wuye was waving.

The people of the Song Kingdom who saw him were also waving.

"Yes, if I were the people of the Song Kingdom, I would be so enthusiastic......"

As a native of Qi State, he could only burst into tears, and the ugly man followed behind Jiang Wuye with a sad face, while directing the 30,000 Jin Ge Wei behind them to scatter Qi country sword coins.

The snowy Qi State knife coins were scattered on the streets of Kaifeng City, and the "boom" fell to the ground, and 30,000 Jin Gewei rode on a war horse and drove into the Kaifeng Mansion of the Song State without anyone stopping them.

For the first time, the people of the Song Kingdom and even the soldiers of the government saw such a big money lord with so much money and stupidity, both the soldiers and the people followed them all the way to pick up money and gathered more and more, and followed them in a long line towards the palace of Kaifeng City, attracting the attention of the nobles of the whole city.

Someone said, "The country of Qi is really rich and rivals the country!"

"Prince Qi is heroic!"

"I heard that he went to Chu State, and he also helped the people and civilians of Chu State all the way!"

"If our Huaxu daughter-in-law marries the Prince of Qi, as long as our Song State is short of food in the future, we can borrow it from the Qi State!"

"It's just ......"

……

In the midst of all kinds of opinions, a woman lazily sat on a phoenix chair at the head of Kaifeng City, and let the palace maid hold a yellow umbrella embroidered with splendid colors for her to cover the sun above her head.

Several palace maids on her side tried to shake the white feather fan in their hands, and there were palace maids prostrate at her feet, holding a golden basin filled with ice cubes to cool off for her, even so, she still squinted her eyes, frowned and said softly, "You didn't see such a big sun?"

When the maids heard this, they were frightened and confessed.

"Son-in-law, please spare your life!"

"Forget it, there is nothing to see in this place, but a prince of Qi State, who has nothing but money, is blind with such a good appearance...... Let's go back! When the prince of the Jin Kingdom enters the city, we will take a look. ”

The son-in-law frowned and said slowly.

As the words fell, there was another commotion outside the city gates.

"Childe, I know that Childe wants to participate in the battle of Zheng Guo and win this battle, but Song Guo is an ally of my Jin State, this blind date banquet, even if Gongzi doesn't like it, he has to sell the Lord of Song State a face, which is also one of the ways to get Zhao Chuan's approval. ”

The accompanying Jin State army Zuo Xian contemptuously persuaded.

"Okay!"

Ji Liuyu controlled the reins of the horse and frowned to accept it.

Now the contradiction between the Zhao family and Jin Linggong is getting bigger and bigger, as long as one day, the Zhao family is no longer satisfied with Jin Linggong sitting on it, sooner or later a new monarch will come up to support, and Jin Linggong has no children, according to Zhao Dun's temperament, he will never choose a childish son to succeed to the throne, as long as he and Zhao wear the relationship, he will be able to easily ascend to the throne, but he also needs a strong backup to support him against the Zhao family in the future, and become the second Jin Linggong before it happens.

Xian Wu, as his staff, naturally hoped that he could gain the support of the Song State.

In this way, it is more certain to compete for reserves.

The female son poked out a pair of single phoenix eyes from the head of Kaifeng City, and her eyes fell on the aristocratic prince who rode through the city, and her eyes lingered on his evil three-dimensional face and powerful Ang hidden body, and finally hooked her lips with satisfaction.

"This is not bad, it would be better if the identity of this prince of the Jin Kingdom could be mentioned. Let's go, let's go back and see them in the evening!"

"Yes, son-in-law. ”

But when he went down to the city tower, he was stopped by a handsome and white-faced son, "Hua Xu, the princes and grandsons who participated in those banquets tonight don't really like you, only me, you know, I have always liked you since I was a child, and I am willing to do everything for you!"

"But cousin, you must know that now you are only a doctor of the Song Kingdom, and I will definitely marry one of the princes, or I will become the son of the princes in the future. ”

After the woman finished speaking, she gently patted the young man's shoulder, walked down the tower over him and said, "So no matter how much you like it, it's useless, my father will not agree to the marriage of the two of us, cousin, you better win this battle between Chu and Jin for your father!"

"But Hua Xu ......"

The young man grabbed her jade hand and said.

"Cousin, if you are like this again, you are not the dashing and upright first son of the Song Kingdom, Hua Yuan, who once made me like. ”

The woman pulled the corners of her lips, her delicate eyebrows and eyes were raised, and she glanced at him plainly, with a hint of smile in her eyes, but her delicate facial features gave people a look of extreme joy, and then a pair of cold jade hands pushed away his big hand, and said quietly.

"I know, cousin, I will definitely win this battle for you to see, and reproduce the hegemony of Song Xianggong......"

Hua Yuan knew that no matter how much he dissuaded, it was impossible to change his cousin's mind.

Unless he wins this big battle, he changes Song Gong's decision.

"If Brother Yuan really has the bearing of Song Xianggong to dominate the Central Plains, Xu Er naturally hopes that Brother Yuan will return victorious. ”

Hua Xu didn't want to destroy his ambition when he heard this, and Hua Yuan did have some outstanding talent among many young sons in the Song Kingdom, and this time he was appointed by Song Gong as the left division of the Song army.

But......

Hua Yuan competed in front of Prince Qi and Prince Jin.

It's still a bit powerless.

She Song Guo spread the world with benevolence and righteousness, but she inevitably lost the domineering spirit of a man, and she was a weak scholar.

But today's world is a world of power and hegemony.

Only the hegemon can conquer the world.

And the strongest overlord in the world is the husband she Hua Xu wants to marry.

Shi Shiran led people away, and Hua Xu returned to the City Lord's Mansion and began to prepare for tonight's dazzling four.

At the same time, the Chu army outside Wancheng was in the tent.

If the generals of the six departments of Ao and the generals of the Iron Guards guarding Wancheng and Shencheng have all converged, but the main seat in the center is still empty, if Ao Ziyan does not come, all the generals are thinking about how to fight this battle if Ao Ziyan, Ye Xiangru has already sharpened his knife Huo Huo, and he can't wait to fight with the Jin army immediately.

At this time, Ruo Ao Ziyan asked Qingpu in his big tent, "Did you arrange the birthday gift for the princess to the East Palace before leaving?"

"Don't worry, Childe should have arrived. ”

Qingpu stepped forward and replied with a frown.

"Well, but she must have been less pleased to see this gift than I had won the battle. ”

Ruo Ao Ziyan stood with his hands in his hands, and the corners of his lips were slightly hooked and he looked at the huge Kyushu Kanyu map hanging high in the tent, as if he saw the scene of Mi Huang waiting for him to return from victory because he took Zheng Guo.

Although Yang Wei and his people had stopped Chen's army from going south to Chu, it was difficult to guarantee that Chen's army would not march from Wanqiu to Zheng because of Chen Gong's body rotting in the city, and join the Jin army at Changge or Xinzheng to block their way north.

After pondering for a long time, Ruo Ziyan's eyes suddenly showed his edge, and he ordered Qingpu, "Order Yang Wei to attack Chen Guo with all his might!"

"Yes, Childe!"

Qingpu immediately sent a flying pigeon to send a message to Yang Wei, who was far south of Chen Guozhi.

Walking out of the big tent, if Ao Ziyan walked towards the middle tent, he only heard the generals of the middle tent discuss, "Zhao Jianjun, my Sun Wuyi is a rough man, and he doesn't talk so much, now the Jin, Chen, Song, and Wei four countries are about to gather in Xinzheng, I don't know if Zhao Jianjun can know what the horse master can do now? Otherwise, we will sit in the tent every day, waste time, and the 50,000 army will be in the later stage, and the grain and grass that Zhao Jianjun is responsible for will be the most tense." ”

The person who spoke was Sun Wuyi, the first fierce general under Sun Hou's throne, and Sun Hou's distant nephew.

At this time, he was frowning a pair of thick eyebrows and looking at Zhao Ming with a big knife pinned to his waist, but Zhao Ming shook the folding fan and smiled, "You ask me what the horse thinks, and this prison army doesn't know...... Although I grew up with him since childhood, this guy is too thoughtful, he must count one as the third, and he must see three steps when he takes one step, just follow him. ”

"But after the tenth generation, it was when the horses agreed to attack the Jin army, but now our Chu army has not moved, we are anxious, and the follow-up baggage troops led by Sun Hou have not yet arrived, and our army will run out of food and grass at that time. ”

The generals of the Iron Guard discussed for a long time, and they didn't see Ruo Ao Ziyan appear, so they couldn't help but be secretly anxious in their hearts, but they were hindered by the bad reputation of Ruo Ao Ziyan's grandson and grandson-in-law, but they were holding their breath in their hearts.

Where does a newcomer to Yingdu know what the military situation on the battlefield is urgent, and he will only be idle every day like this Zhao Ming.

But the other party is the commander of the three armies, and now even Sun Hou has to listen to him.

Again, they had to obey.

Even Ye Xiangru sat on the cold bench all morning, and he couldn't wait to go into battle immediately, but he could only stare at him, patted the armrest of the seat, and scolded behind Ruo Ao Ziyan, "I don't care about your grandfather, I'm going out to fight now, go, Yang Qin, accompany me to practice!"

The one-armed Yang Qin heard the words and agreed to follow, "Yes, general!"

But as soon as I lifted the door curtain, I saw Ruo Ao Ziyan standing outside the door against the light, the color was indistinct, and all the swear words on his lips just now were swallowed back.

"The Xinzheng capital is twenty zhang thick, and there is no problem in guarding it for several months!"

Ruo Ziyan glanced at Ye Xiangru, who was eager to rush to the forefront every time, and said in a slightly cold voice, "When Zhao Piercing wants to break through the Xinzheng capital before our Chu army arrives on the battlefield, unless a miracle happens, he can fly over!" Or the four-nation alliance army besieged the twelve gates of Xinzheng at the same time, but now he only brought 50,000 cloud-piercing horsemen to the south, and it is definitely not a time and a half to break through the city." ”

"But when the Jin State almost captures the Zheng State, wouldn't it be meaningless for us to save Zheng again?" Sun Wuyi got up and asked.

"Who says it doesn't make sense?"

"First of all, the purpose of our battle is to open up the passage for the Chu State to go north, if Zheng Guo is rescued in the morning, it will still be impregnable, blocking the road to the north of my Chu State, and the next Northern Expedition will replace our Chu army trapped in Zheng State. ”

Ruo Ao Ziyan said unhurriedly.

"So we save Zheng, not to save a Zheng who is intact!"

"Second, there was no layout in advance, and rashly attacked the Jin army that worked for Yi, but it only increased the casualties of our army. Ruo Ao Ziyan watched the generals walk into the middle tent with their hands and continued.

"So we are now going north to attack Jin step by step, and we must not be more urgent than the Jin army, only when they can't figure out our minds, is it when we attack. ”

For the first time, the generals heard this conspiracy theory, and since the Spring and Autumn Period, there has also been a war ritual in war, which is a military salute, respecting courtesy and deceit, valuing faith and killing prudently, and it is related to the honor and disgrace of a country.

The military rites cover all aspects of etiquette such as managing the army before the war, marching, giving teachers and fighting during the war, and after the war, and sacrificing prisoners, and at the same time, it also restricts the behavior of commanders and soldiers.

That is, the two armies issued a good letter of war, agreed on the time and place of the battle, and then the two sides set up a formation, and then began to charge each other, and the Chu State Chongjun salute to a point that made the world laugh.

The military salute stipulates that the deserter ran a hundred steps, the chasing army can only chase fifty steps, and if you can't catch up, you can stop, there was a battle, the wheel of the chariot of the Jin army was broken, and the chasing Chu army stopped, helped the Jin army to repair the wheel, and then continued to chase and kill, and then was laughed at by the Jin people, and there was an allusion of "fifty steps laughing and a hundred steps" between countries to ridicule the pedantry of the Chu army.

And such a "pedantic" Chu army is called a "barbarian" by a big country that prides itself on being the ceremonial state of the Central Plains!"

The barbarians still know etiquette, but the Central Plains people use "etiquette" fools.

But if Ao Ziyan's words.

It is completely not according to the usual "etiquette" to play cards.

"Master Ma, in that case, won't my Chu army become an unrighteous army? What is the difference between it and the Jin army?" Sun Wuyi said with a twisted eyebrow.

"During the Battle of Chengpu, Duke Wen of Jin deceived our army into entering the mountains and forests where traps were laid with the word "letter", and our Chu army was defeated; For such an unrighteous army, General Sun wants to emphasize righteousness, but have you ever thought that the lives of the Iron Guards and the 50,000 generals of my Ruoao Six Divisions are more important than personal faith?"

Ruo Ao Ziyan looked at him and asked in a deep voice, for the sake of superficial etiquette, he wasted thousands of lives, but he was stupid and "loyal".

Although Sun Hou is full of loyalty, he does not know how to be flexible, at this time he is strange that Mi Huang's temperament is neither like his mother Sun Queen, nor like his grandfather Sun Hou, a little different.

"I'd rather people in the world say that if I am ruthless and unrighteous Ao Ziyan, I don't want to bury the lives of thousands of soldiers in vain to someone like Zhao Chuan. ”

Sun Wuyi opened his mouth, but finally didn't say anything more.

The Iron Guards of the Sun family are all like brothers, how could he want to give his children their lives in vain.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now all the countries in the Central Plains are speculating whether our Chu army will be defeated by the Jin State like nineteen years ago, why don't we also bet on this battle, will our Chu army win or lose?"

The folding fan in Zhao Ming's hand flipped over in his hand, slapped on the long case in front of him, and then wrote a "Chu" and a "Jin" word on the fan surface, with a black line drawn in the middle, and said with a smile: "Today, I Zhao Ming will be the banker, no matter who loses or who wins, I will lose double, and everyone bets to see if Zhao Wear can keep his prestige as the first general of the Jin Kingdom this time." ”

Ruo Ao Ziyan's sword eyebrows were high, he glanced at Zhao Ming, his big hand fell on the word "Chu", and said with a smile.

"Okay, if I am the first to suppress my Chu army, I will win! 100,000 gold baht! If my Chu country wins, this gold baht will be rewarded to all the soldiers of the army according to their merits!"

With such an earth-shattering handwriting, Ruo Ao's generals were not surprised, and they were accustomed to it, but the Iron Guards who had been guarding the bitter cold land of Wancheng Shencheng all the year round had all half opened their mouths.

Sun Wuyi was also stunned for a moment, and finally immediately clapped his hands and laughed, "Okay, my Sun Wuyi will naturally press my Chu army together with the horses!"

Of course, Ye Xiangru also followed the suppression of the Chu army, and no Chu people would suppress the Jin army at this time.

And winning means that there is not only a reward from the court, but also a reward from the horse.

The entire middle tent suddenly had a high fighting spirit, "The Chu army will win!"

"The Chu army will win!"

The previous contradictions have disappeared, and some people may be born kings, who can make people surrender at any time, "Haha! This time, we will let Zhao Wear in the land of Zheng Guo become his burial place, and there is no return!"

At the end of the meeting, the army marched and continued north.

Zhao Ming rode a horse and followed Ruo Ao Ziyan leisurely, "Alas, for your battle, I have done my best this time!"

"Don't worry, I'll win!"

"You can earn back what you lose!"

Ruo Ao Ziyan laughed loudly, a high-quality black cowhide woven horsewhip, held in his big hand and waved, in the open field with a thunderous sound, when the 30,000 Ruo Ao army and 20,000 iron guards sounded in the sky one after another, and then behind him embroidered on the shoulder of the golden phoenix military medal representing the glory of the Chu State Ruo Ao general and the trident military medal, all dressed in bronze armor, like an angry dragon, like thunder, set foot on the land of the northern Central Plains.

The horses' hooves were fluttering in all directions, and a black storm rolled up between the dust.

The sound of horse neighing is like a long dragon roar, coming out of Wancheng, passing through Xucheng, Changge, and reaching Xinzheng.
