Chapter 468: Shangyuan Festival
In the eighteenth year of Yanguang, the fifteenth day of the first month, Shangyuan Festival.
Although the sentient beings under the Chu State Society are in troubled times, they still have a more festive feeling in the New Year's Festival.
Ying'er hung a lantern in the courtyard, folded her hands, and whispered under the lamp: "Young master, ......"
"Miss Qian is here." In front of the courtyard, the knife called.
Ying'er turned around and saw Qian Duoduo walking in with a lantern.
The two lived close, and when they met a few days ago, they began to run each other's doors often, and at this time Ying'er was surprised: "Hey, you are still here today?" β
Qian Duoduo lowered her head and said softly: "I want to celebrate the festival with Ying'er." β
"That's good." Ying'er clapped her hands and smiled: "We made lactose balls today, come and eat them...... In the evening we set off firecrackers. β
For Qian Duoduo, although the things made by Ying'er were not delicious, she really wanted to make friends with her, so she hurriedly smiled a little flatteringly: "Okay." β
"It's a pity that there is no lantern festival in the capital this year, so I can't see acrobatics, but my young master can come back during the Dragon Boat Festival......"
The two clear and beautiful figures held hands and left the courtyard.
The lanterns hanging in the courtyard shook gently.
~~
Looking at the entire capital, the joy of thousands of lights can't hide the sense of withering that the troubled times are coming......
In contrast, fireworks are shining in the city of Nanjing.
The Qinhuai River is open to the market and lights up.
Thousands of households, narrow alleys, pedestrians like weaving, like a glorious and prosperous era.
Zheng Yuanhua climbed the stairs to watch the lanterns, and his face was rarely filled with joy.
"The emperor's grandson has made meritorious contributions to the governance of Nanjing, and it is time to ask for credit for His Royal Highness at the beginning of the year."
No one would care whether the prosperity of Nanjing City was governed by the nine-year-old imperial grandson, and a group of civil servants responded one after another: "Your Majesty should be asked to appoint the imperial grandson as soon as possible......
~~
Zhending House.
There was a bit of gloom and gloom inside the city, but the chaotic military camp outside the city was very jubilant.
In a military tent.
"What should I do if I let Brother Xiao know that I am a fifth-in-command here, and I am still following these rebels to loot and attack the city?" Wang Jue sighed deeply. Ideas Chinese the first issue of the network βγ‘γΟΟΟ s:// ΟΟΟ.sγzΟΟ.cΞΠΌ γΟΟΟ s:// ΠΌ.sγzΟΟ.cΞΠΌγ€
Zhuang Xiaoyun frowned and said, "Mr. Fu has worked hard to treat the epidemic and help the people in Gyeonggi, and now that he has just left, these chaotic people have become like this, do you think Hou Yesheng is not angry?" β
"I didn't do anything!" Wang Jue hurriedly said: "I'm not like you, but you still killed the officers and soldiers......
Zhuang Xiaoyun was quite speechless, lowered his head and muttered: "You are the fifth master, and I am only the sixth master." β
"What should I do about this? What to do? Wang Jue was so anxious that he couldn't do it, and pulled Zhuang Xiaoyun and said, "Take me away." β
"The ...... that can't be left behind"
The next moment, someone reported: "The fifth general, the sixth general, the general has called you to discuss the matter." β
"Again." Wang Jue reluctantly stood up, complaining in his heart: "Be a bullshit general......"
In the big tent.
The iron leopard is wearing a piece of armor and has a majestic appearance.
"The fifth and sixth are here, let's discuss it...... Lao Tzu decided to attack the city again tonight, what do you think? β
Zhuge Lao San said: "It's feasible, tonight is Shangyuan Night, and the officials and soldiers will never think that we will attack the city overnight." β
Niu Lao Er and Eagle Lao Si also nodded.
"Old Five, what do you think?" The iron leopard looked at Wang Jue again.
He felt that this kid was his lucky star.
Wang Jue shook his head and said, "I don't think it's appropriate. β
"Why not?"
"It's a holiday today, and everyone doesn't want to fight." Wang Jue said: "I think, let's go back to Weifeng Village?" If it makes a big fuss, it will be troublesome......"
"What's the trouble?" The iron leopard waved his hand and said proudly: "Since Lao Tzu raised his army, he has broken ten cities in a row and is invincible, who dares to trouble Lao Tzu?" "Genius
"Ouch, my eldest brother, those county towns are all opened by the people to let us in, how many officers and soldiers who can really fight have we met so far?" Wang Jue said, looked up and saw that the iron leopard looked uncertain, and hurriedly said: "Zhending Mansion can't be attacked for a long time, my brother is really panicked, let's go quickly?" β
Zhuge Lao San sighed: "You don't know the fifth brother, now the eldest brother has more people and horses, and there are more mouths for eating, if you don't build a big city like Zhending, where can you feed the big guys with grain?" β
Wang Jue was so anxious that he jumped to his feet: "What are you doing to feed so many people?" There are tens of thousands of people out there, how many of them can fight? Let them disperse, we can't afford to raise ......"
The iron leopard was originally full of spirits, but after hearing these two words, he became a little annoyed, scratched his head and said: "Then we have made a real decision, grabbed the grain, found a place to settle down and farm, and practiced these people, how about it?" β
"Farming? Grab money and grab happy, who will farm with us? I don't plant it anyway. β
"Then grab it again......"
Another round of gossip.
"Don't talk about it!" The iron leopard shouted: "Lao Tzu has decided, and he will fight his mother's Zhending Mansion tonight......"
suddenly
"Bang ......"
The iron leopard was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and asked, "Set off firecrackers?" Lao Tzu is besieging the city, and the fuck is still in the mood to set off firecrackers?! β
Zhuge Lao San listened for a moment, and suddenly exclaimed: "It's not a firecracker!" This, this, this...... Not firecrackers! β
"Raid the camp!"
A terrible scream pierced the night sky.
"The officers and soldiers are attacking the camp!"
The iron leopard turned his head and glanced at Wang Jue, whose face was pale, and muttered, "I really let the fifth child say it right......"
~~
"Dirt Chicken Tile Dog."
Du Zhenghe smiled and commented.
There was a murderous look in his eyes, but unfortunately a round face made him less imposing.
Wang Zhen looked at the battle in the night, frowned, and said: "The general is invincible, and the combat power of the old camp of the majestic village is still there......"
On the battlefield in front, the neatly arrayed army line was advancing in an orderly manner, with blood and water everywhere under their feet.
The rebels were frightened by the power of the firecrackers, and ran in all directions in a panic.
Among these people are outlaws, and there are also ordinary people who are coerced. Willingly or forced, they became part of the rebel army, trying to fight against the court that was forced by the officials to rebel against the people.
Once the weight of their heads was lifted, they finally felt more refreshed than ever.
The food that you can't earn even if you don't work hard can get it with a wave of a knife.
They even felt that they could plunder like this all the way until they created a peaceful and prosperous era.
"Officers and soldiers don't know how to fight at all!"
It turns out that those officers and soldiers who are extremely vicious and vicious and fiercely bully us on weekdays will not fight at all......
But at this moment, in the face of the guns of the Shenji Battalion, their pleasure of burning and looting instantly turned into endless fear.
"Bang! Bang......"
A body was knocked down and became a pile of flesh on the ground, no different from the man who had died under their sword.
Wang Zhen looked at this scene, and her eyes were filled with deep compassion.
This battle has nothing to do with justice, nothing about right or wrong. There is only the helplessness of struggling for life under this world.
The troubled times have not yet fully come, but he is already a little tired of them.
The screams and the sound of firecrackers kept ringing, and suddenly, a huge cry erupted on the battlefield.
"General! The general is here......"
The horses neighed, and a group of cavalry galloped out of the middle military camp with the iron leopard, quite brave......
Du Zhenghe watched the battle from afar, and after a long time, he squinted his eyes and said, "These people are a bit brave. β
Wang Zhen smiled: "No matter how much they can fight, they will be coerced by the rebels to retreat." β
Sure enough, after fighting for a long time, the Iron Leopard led the men and horses to slowly begin to retreat.
Wang Zhen said: "Collect the front, we are in a hurry to get here, the soldiers are tired, give them a dismount today." With this battle, it is presumable that in the next few days, more and more people will flee from the rebellion. β
Du Zhenghe nodded and ordered the Shenji Battalion not to move forward.
The iron leopard over there gathered the defeated soldiers and retreated fifteen miles overnight.
When the Shenying machine occupied the camp and was still resting, Wang Zhen said to Du Zhenghe again: "Tomorrow, General Du might as well send me to the Iron Leopard Army to persuade him to surrender." β
Du Zhenghe was taken aback: "This ......"
- If something goes wrong, I'm in trouble.
Wang Zhen just smiled, looking like a bamboo in her chest.
