Chapter 112: Preparation (II)
Due to the special status of the Song State in the Zhuzhan Plain, its every move would often set off a discussion in the territories of the various princes in the Zhuzhan Plain, and the subjects up and down would want to return to the Song State, stay away from the war, and become a merchant who walked the world without worrying about being slaughtered at will. However, the news that has recently spread in the various princes' territories has cast a shadow over this imagination. At one time, some guys who planned to leave their hometowns and go to the border of the Song Kingdom to try their luck were furious, and there were even bitter people in some places who committed suicide because they had no hope of suffering in the world.
The Song Kingdom, which has been peaceful for 40 years, is about to die.
The Ten Confederations Alliance, headed by Xiguo and deputy by Ji Guo, with a small number of more than 20,000 to 200,000 troops, has been stationed under the city of Lin'an City. The Song Kingdom, which had 14 prefecture cities, waved the white flag in a row and there were 12 prefecture cities.
When the news spread all over the world, I don't know how many Xunmin lamented the misfortune of the Song State, and hated the cowardice of the Song State.
So much so that some Song merchants who were still walking in the world were implicated by these angry trainees, and there were a few sensational stories of being scolded to death in fear.
No amount of news could prevent the fall of the Song Kingdom, which had already received the tacit acquiescence of the public, from happening in the near future.
β¦β¦
Yuncheng, where the water in the alley of the east gate is deep enough to pass the calf, a big hole was broken and the door for stray dogs to enter and exit was suddenly torn open by a strong force, and a tall and sturdy man gnawed a piece of dog meat and stepped out of the alley.
The man walked along the layout of Yuncheng for an afternoon and returned to the east gate, holding a mace with a large head and long barbed barbs in his hand. He waited for a long time, and all kinds of footsteps were heard around him, light and heavy.
He spit out the dog meat in his mouth, looked at the twenty or thirty comrades who had been summoned, picked up the mace in his hand, and grinned: "Raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while!" Let those dogs and cubs see, our Song soldiers are so brave! Walk! β
β¦β¦
Jubang is considered to be a big one among the princes at the level of the state, but the region deviates from the most troublesome and chaotic place in the Zhuzhan Plain, and there is actually a chance for a relatively long-term peace, and many escapees who cannot go to the Song State settle here, waiting for the next migration.
In the evening of this day, in more than 10 blocks that formed a small area of Anza, two groups of gangs from different areas came out. However, after the two gang bosses met, they hugged each other amazingly.
They talked to each other, and then one of the bosses waved his hand: "If you don't want to follow Lao Tzu, you have already entrusted it to Boss Xiao, and you will not be unjust." If you want to follow Lao Tzu, those who have mothers-in-law and babies will Lao Tzu back. Those who have old parents and only children in the family will go back to Lao Tzu to honor them. The rest, nothing, feel that Lao Tzu is good enough for the brothers to be righteous, Lao Tzu will tell you, this is to ask for money or not, if you want a woman without a woman, there is a deal to go and no return, just do it, leave, if you don't do it, get out! β
The boss walked towards the outskirts of the Anza community without looking back.
After walking for a long, long time, he stopped, looked into the distance for a long time, and looked back with some reluctance, hundreds of people silently followed behind him with torches.
He held back his tears, and a subordinate ran forward with a hippie smile and said shyly: "Boss, if the man has tears, don't pinch them, you cry." β
"! Put out the torches for Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu's eyes will be smoked out of your water! β
β¦β¦
After six years of cold snow in the last depression, the fields were not harvested, so that the country declined, and was divided into a large number of small princes by the unbordering Xiguo. However, the status of merchants has been improved, and many Song merchants who have been doing business here all the year round have entered the house, entered and exited the mansions of the powerful, and became guests.
and the Shang Mansion, the largest merchant guild organization in Chengguo.
"You're in the dry stocks! If you leave, I won't give you a penny!" The big man of Heshang shook the stack of bills in his hand with red eyes and roared angrily at the dart master who was ready to go in front of him.
"Big guy, you know what our roots and feet look like. If we can come back, we will renew the agreement, and we will buy and sell friendship with you for the past few years. The head of the dart master scratched his head and said.
ββ¦β¦ You also know that this is friendship, do you know what friendship is? You can't ignore this Laoshzi Song Kingdom? I have already told Cheng Guowen that when the seedlings of Su Chun get out of the field this year, I will brand all of you with the name of Chengguo! The voice of the business boss choked.
"Big guy...... We don't like to fight with them with bayonets. But our Song Kingdom is about to die, and hundreds of thousands of coalition troops are squatting at the gate of our capital, and we are brave soldiers. Bingyong, in this battle plain of Raushzi, it is the most precious drop, and we can't let the most precious drop become the most useless drop. We are the soldiers of the Song State, and the Song State is in trouble, so we can't help but go. The head of the dart master said sincerely, and then led the brothers behind him to bend down and thank the merchant boss in front of him.
"Phew...... That Hong Xuchou has already dismissed all the Song soldiers, you are all retired, you don't know about me? The merchant boss put down the bill in his hand and sighed, "...... Let's go, let's go. Where can I find a dart master like you? β
The dart masters walked clean in the blink of an eye, and only one sentence of the dart master's head was still echoing in the ears of the business boss:
"The retired soldiers are also the soldiers of the Song Kingdom. If you don't fight, you don't fight, and if you fight, you will fight! β
β¦β¦
The Song Kingdom, which had been peaceful for 40 years, demobilized an unknown number of soldiers, and they scattered to various places for many years along their own paths of life.
Some have become businessmen, some have become jugglers, some have become gang bosses, some have become dart masters, all of which point to the same past.
"Hah...... There is actually a day when Lao Tzu comes back! β
"Tsk, this can't be demobilized anymore!"
"When your muscles and bones are old, you have to move."
"Old General Dickin has died......"
"Ah...... Bye-bye. β
"Well, come on, put one!"
"Take a drink!"
The wind of Su Spring blew through every inch of the plain of Zhuzhan that was about to turn green, and I don't know how many people reunited under the same belief.
"I heard that the Tiance Army has this kind of logo?" Looking at the flag set up in a poor country in the Song Kingdom, someone said with a smile.
"! It's the Tiance Army! β
"Old General Dickin is not dead? Damn, how old is this old immortal......"
"He's dead." A tall man in armor walked out of the shadows at the banner, "Lao Tzu Yuan Mou Liang is now the first general of the New Song Legion appointed by Hong Xuchou, the Great Minister of the Song Kingdom. Lao Tzu used to be in the army, and Lao Tzu remembered a sentence, that is, there are only people who have no seeds, and there are no men who have no seeds! Some people think that the Song Kingdom is dead, but the prime minister disagrees! Old General Dickin disagreed! Song Wang Zhao Xu disagreed! You don't agree either! So what to do? β
"them!"
"Good! That's all there! There are only four days to get up and running! Defend my Great Song! β
β¦β¦
The news of the Golden Concubine Meeting was transmitted to many places, so in just a few days, many people came from all over the country in the hope of being able to see what the woman the emperor of the Jun Empire was about to choose looked like.
What is the most mysterious thing under the sky?
The Grand Priest of the Pu Temple.
What is the mystery that follows? β¨His Majesty the Emperor.
And then, the women of His Majesty the Emperor.
"I have always hoped that the Song Kingdom would no longer raise troops, but now I have to do it, if the Song Kingdom is allowed to give up like this, will it be better?" Hong Xuchou sat in front of the desk, the candlelight flickering.
Mo Yun sat on the chair opposite, and Xiao Qian and Xiao Yu sat next to him, playing a kind of thaumaturgy against each other.
Hearing Hong Xuchou's sigh, Mo Yun tilted his head and thought about it, but heard a nearby voice sound:
"The most vicious person in the world is often the weakest one. Because there is something that cannot be lost, it is extremely cruel. Lord Hong, what do you not want to lose? β
Hong Xuchou looked at the little girl who was contemplating with her head down, as if the words just now did not come out of her mouth:
"Absolutely. I will never let the Song Kingdom be surrendered. β
"I think it's not good that after hundreds of years of war, I still haven't been able to get a unified country. Why don't you come? Xiao Qian snapped and put the chess pieces on a board, and Xiao Yu's originally proud face instantly collapsed, and he fell into deep thought.
"I thought, where did you get the ability?" Hong Xuchou said with interest.
"I can't see it, Nanjun and Beijin, Langyu Taige, the princes of the Plains of Zhuzhan are strife, and...... This very important seedling in the spring of Su is related to the livelihood of many princes. I heard that Chengguo was divided into dozens of small princes because of the ice and snow winter of the sixth year of Xiao Shi, which shows that no prince is willing to give up this first grain. You say, are you willing to wash the country? Is Kikook willing? Would the other states in the Ten Confederates be willing? Xiao Qian raised his head and glanced at Hong Xuchou, turned back to Mo Yun and said, "I'm tired, I want to go back to accompany Ning Wan." β
The little owl shouted to bring the thaumaturgy back into the house and continue to study. And Xiao Qian was hugged by Mo Yun and walked behind.
"Why did you suddenly become interested in this?" Mo Yun asked.
"Ten years of taxation. I can't always let you run around outside, and I have to do my part. Xiao Qian smiled, then looked at Mo Yun's eyes looking ahead, and carefully pressed his face against his chest - it was so warm.
When Mo Yun returned to Hong Xuchou's place, what he saw was that Hong Xuchou's tired expression was almost swept away.
Hong Xuchou first laughed when he saw Mo Yun, and then said:
"Five days is not enough, I can let it delay any longer, delay until Su Spring seedlings!"
