Chapter 50: Drumming

The carrier pigeon is a communication weapon other than the flying, in addition to those legends that are not very reliable, China has a definite history to check the use of carrier pigeons should be the Tang Dynasty, used in the military that was in the Song Dynasty. Xiong Jing remembered that carrier pigeons were also because of navigation, and the ancient Arabs had carrier pigeons on their sea ships, and they mostly sailed along the coast and did not cross the ocean, so carrier pigeons were useful.

Carrier pigeons and pigeons should be different, domestic pigeons and wild pigeons are more different, in a hurry Xiong Jing did not have time to try whether the pigeons raised in the palace garden knew to return home, so he could only die as a live horse doctor, and put a pigeon every day, hoping that Ying's news could be received.

The pigeon in Zuo Shi's hand was finally held in Xiong Jing's hand, and Xiong Jing said a few words to the pigeon before releasing the pigeon. Everyone watched the pigeon fly up the treetops and out of the dense forest, and since then there has been the legend of the king through the birds.

The king left the capital and allied with the Qin people, and Yingdu saw that the woman's market courtyard finally had a little more hope. The news of victory came again and again, but the price of millet in Yingdu was more expensive than a month, and the longing for her husband was better than a day. When the husband will be able to return home and when the war will end, no one knows the bottom before the king leaves the capital and joins the alliance with the Qin people. It wasn't until a few days ago that the news of Chu Qin's dismissal and the alliance between the two countries prevailed that the women's hearts were heavily relieved.

In July, the fire flowed, and in September, the clothes were given, and all the winter jackets were turned out, or sewn or dried, waiting for the husband to return home. The market is like this, and Concubine Zhao, who seems to be fine, also took out her son's fox fur and clothes to sew and mend them.

"The Queen Mother." Mi Xuan stopped Concubine Zhao who was mending her clothes, "Brother Wang is more than five feet, and this dress will be small if you wear it again next year." ”

"Oh." Concubine Zhao was stunned when she heard this, but her hand was stunned but she didn't stop, and the needle pierced her finger, bleeding.

"The Queen Mother." Mi Xuan snatched Concubine Zhao's fingers and sucked them into her mouth, and said, "In the future, Brother Wang's clothes will be mended by Xuan'er." ”

"You." Concubine Zhao smiled, "It's time for the person to get married, he will marry ...... at sunrise."

"Queen Mother!" Mi Xuan still had the generous demeanor of Princess Yan just now, and as soon as she said that she was married, she fell into Concubine Zhao's arms with a blushing face. "Xuan'er doesn't marry, Xuan'er has to serve her mother and brother Wang in the palace every day."

"Stupid." Concubine Zhao stroked her daughter's hair, "How can there be a woman who doesn't marry, you are the princess of Chu State, and you must marry the king of another country." The king of Zhao was only enthroned, and he was the same age as Jing'er, so he could not be married; The king of Qi is too old, and the prince already has a wife, so he can't be married; The king of Yan is also too big, only the prince of Yan is ......"

"Don't marry, don't marry, I won't marry......" Mi Xuan began to be coquettish in her mother's arms, she wanted to marry a king like Wang Di, but it was a pity that the kings of the world except for Wang Di were all cowards in front of the Qin people.

"Empress Dowager," Wang Yin came, he first tended to walk, and finally ran over, looking a little hurried.

"What?" Concubine Zhao looked at him. "But Concubine Li ......"

Concubine Li is still under house arrest, but fortunately, she can see her son every day. After several tosses, Xiong Han, who used to be naΓ―ve and ignorant, has become more and more sensible, and now he greets Concubine Zhao, the queen mother, three times a day.

"Empress Dowager," Wang Yin said with a bitter face: "It's Ling Yin, Ling Yin's Mansion is suddenly ...... today."

"All of a sudden?" Concubine Zhao frowned, the current Ling Yin Mansion is almost equal to the Yan Dynasty, and all the orders of the Chu State come from the Ling Yin Mansion.

"Ling Yin Mansion suddenly has many armor soldiers today, and the same is true of the Great Sima Mansion. The minister ...... "Wang Yinyou has been in charge of the palace for more than 20 years, and he is shocked by the wind and grass anywhere in the palace. Thinking of the Chu Qin Alliance a few days ago, the more I thought about it, the more uneasy I became.

"Jing'er." Concubine Zhao immediately felt a wave of dizziness, but fortunately she did not fall, but endured the discomfort and stood up straight. "You quickly summon Yin to sleep, and Nao Qing also summons Nao Qing to sleep."

"Yui." Nodding vigorously, he just wanted Concubine Zhao to know about this matter in advance, and the last time those ministers entered the palace to snatch Concubine Li and Prince Qiang, he also ate those people.

"The Chu and Qin alliance is a major matter, and it is related to the society of the Chu State, how can you think that the Qin people are cheating because of some trivial things?" In the Ling Yin Mansion shrouded in the military tent, the cronies of Yin Gong from all counties and towns who were summoned were chattering, and these people were still thinking of making peace with Qin Yan. However, this time, the king of the alliance is pressed to go, and the alliance should be completed on the second day of entry, and he will return to Chu on the third day at the latest, and now it is the fourth day, and he still has no news of the king.

"The king has been in Qin for a long time, even if he stays in Qin for something, he should send someone to return, so Ben Yin thinks that the Qin people will be deceitful." Xiong Jing informed the alliance three days ago, and ordered Huaishang County to evacuate immediately, and Cheng Jie did so. Today, there is still no news of the king, and it is time to carry out the battle of Jiyi, so for this reason, Chengjie summoned the cronies who stayed in Yingdu in each county to report the matter.

"Ling Yin can't do this. The counties have only been evacuated for a few days, and if the general is ordered to attack Jiyi at this time, the Qin army in the Wei realm will attack us. "The person who spoke was Mu Xin, the youngest son of Mu Boxun in Suixian, and Suixian was the county that was most opposed to making enemies with Qin.

"Shaft!" Seisuke glared at him and cursed. "The Qin people have no intention of meeting the alliance, they would rather be thin than me, no one will thin me, Ben Yin's mind has been decided, and the military order will be transmitted to Chengyang and Tang County a little later, and Xiang Bo and Tang Gong will be ordered to destroy Jiyi and restore it!"

"Xi Gong, Xi Gong think twice!" Mu Xin shouted out to Xi Gong. "If that's the case, Nao Cunning will take the position of Gong Ling Yin!"

"You!" Hearing this, Chengsuke's blood surged, and his head deliberately turned a few degrees so that Mu Xin could see more clearly. "Zhuzi thinks Ling Yin is making money? Fart! Xi County's ten-year accumulation of Su went half in a month, so that Yin's position was returned to Nao's cunning.

With the Qin people, if you don't make peace, you will fight, why think twice. The erector son gave me to get out of the Ling Yin Mansion and told your father that Chu Qin would fight again today, if he didn't come out with 25,000 armor, he would go to Zuo Yin's Mansion to take the guilt. ”

"Humph!" After scolding Mu Xin, Cheng Jie was angry, and glared at the people present a few more times, and then he threw off his sleeves and went out of the hall and issued a combat order.

Cheng Jie can hold down the scene, otherwise he wouldn't have been pushed out by her husband to do this Ling Yin. As soon as he left, the people in the Ming Hall immediately scattered and rushed to the Feixun Station - after two years of construction, the government and military affairs of Feixun had been separated, and each did not interfere. Those counties that are not included in the battle plan can only use the government affairs line to give urgent notice.

"Report β€”β€”!" The order to attack was first transmitted to Chengyang Chengyin's Mansion, and the flying officer reported to Xiang Yan in the most standard standing posture: "To: Chengyang General Yan; From: Yingdu Ling Yin Mansion. It has been more than three days since the king entered Qin, and the Qin people have deceit, so they ordered the general to carry out the battle of Jiyi to rescue the king and annihilate the Qin army. This order. Ling Yoon Sung-suke. In September, Dinghai moved to a small location. ”

"The last general commands!" As soon as the flying officer read out Yingdu, he ordered Yin Mansion, Xiang Yan and all the generals present to stand. After the flight officer finished reading, Xiang Yan took the flight and said loudly: "The last general respectfully accepts the order!" He immediately ordered left and right: "Order Xie Yi to immediately clear the Qin people in the territory, and there must be no mistakes." Drumming! ”

After the Qin army retired four months ago, Chengyang no longer heard the sound of drums, and the drums started again, and the soldiers in the military tent outside Chengyang heard the sound and went out of the tent to look at Chengyang, and saw one after another driving out of the military camp and rushed to the military meeting in the city. Only Chen Sheng turned a deaf ear to this, he was sharpening his spear. The iron tip of the spear is extremely hard, and a layer of stone dust is scraped out every time it is sharpened.

Chen Gou, who was familiar with him, looked at him and didn't move, looked at Chengyang City for a long time, looked back at him and took out a whetstone to sharpen his spear, hehe smiled, and said, "Sharpen the spear?" Want to be a celebrity? Huh. Honorable people are nobles, don't eat meat for a few days and think that you are also noble. The life belongs to his own family, and the lord belongs to the king. If you die, like Chen Shi, what are you? ”

Chen Sheng also has an old lady and a younger sister at home. Chen Shi died in the siege of Chen Ying, although I don't know how Chen Shi's wife is now, but there are fewer men in the family, and there is no farmhouse, so I won't live too well if I want to, and it is certain to remarry.

Chen Sheng was still sharpening his knife, and if he didn't answer Chen Chen's words, Chen Heibutt and the new Chen Fat Dog were all looking at him. At this time, Chen Chen, who still wanted to speak, suddenly stood up, and Chen Hong, the new scholar who was sealed in Benlu, came over with a treasure knife on his shoulder. His attire was nondescript, and he wore not a battle robe under his armor, but a corporal's miscellaneous clothes. Wearing court clothes, he should wear Xuanduan, but he wears the latest iron armor, the iron armor mask can be opened and closed, revealing his face when opened, and only revealing a pair of eyes when closed - this is the improved design of Chen Ying's mansion after the siege of the city, mainly to prevent the enemy's arrows.

"Second and third sons, wait," looking at the five military commanders and twenty soldiers gathered in front of him, Chen Hong, a former commoner, began to speak like a human being. "The general has beaten the drum and gathered the generals, and the soldier thinks that he will fight with Qin Kou tomorrow and tomorrow, if you want to stand in front of the battle......"

"Me. I...、I'm me!! Chen Sheng was slow to raise his hand, and more than a dozen other people raised their hands before him.

Chen Hong smiled slightly when he saw this, except for a few elderly people, no one wanted to stand in front of the formation. In fact, there were twenty-five soldiers in one Lu, and the fifteen rows of thick spear formations were only one and a half columns at most. According to the rules for the selection of honors, the first three rows are counted as the front of the formation, and it is possible to be honorable, so there are only three front-line soldiers in the first three rows in a column; The other column of pre-formation armor soldiers needs to be divided with the other team, and the three front-line armorers can normally be divided into two. In this way, there are only five people who can stand in front of the formation.

As long as there were five armor soldiers in front of the formation, there were more than a dozen of them who raised their hands, and then thinking that he had become a famous soldier after killing the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, Chen Hong smiled proudly and sweetly. After looking at the figures of these people, he quickly circled five people, and Chen Sheng, who was like a thin monkey, was naturally not among them.

"Noble, noble, the villain's fake father is Chen He, the villain's fake father is ......" Chen Sheng, who wanted to become a celebrity, rushed up to report Chen He's name, but he didn't expect Chen Hong to kick him away.

"How is this supposed to be?" Chen Gou also looked at Chen Sheng to pull himself, and he would be a honorable man in the future. I didn't expect that Ben Lu's reputation would not give Chen Sheng fake his father's face.

"Hmph." Wu Chang Chen snorted and turned around. Following him, Chen Heibuttocks also snorted and turned around. The new Chen Fat Dog didn't dare to hum, but he also turned away.

"The finch knows the ambition of the bird." Chen Sheng sat down on the ground with his buttocks, and he didn't sharpen his spear anymore, so he whispered for a long time.
