Chapter 179: Undercurrent
The Tianlin Army is invincible!
The joy of victory is permeated in this city on the frontier of Daheng, and the streets and alleys are full of literati who look up to the sky and revel, and even a few crystal tears oozed from the corners of some people's eyes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoTheir homeland was recently occupied by a group of bandits called the Northern Barbarians, and to this day, the guardians of Daheng, the heroes they admire, the supposedly invincible army, have finally driven out all the enemies.
During the dozens of days they were ruled by the Northern Barbarians, they deeply felt how happy they were under the rule of Daheng.
Humiliated, having lost their homes, they felt humiliation like never before.
The enemies robbed them of their money with impunity, and the heads of the young men who mustered up the courage to resist hung a long string on the city walls, and the heart-rending cries of the girls in the house were heard in the houses.
The whole city lost all laughter, and the people who were the natives became inferior to a single animal, and they were insulted, beaten, tortured, and killed in all kinds of cruelty. The Beiban stationed in it seemed to be irrational beasts, using all methods to destroy the city.
Probably the only thing to be thankful for is that the generals of the Northern Barbarians did not order the massacre of the city.
――――――
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the old minister is sorry for you, the old minister failed to hold the barrier of this frontier for you, and let the inhuman jackals, tigers and leopards enter Daheng, so that the people of Daheng fell into the flames of war. However, Lao Chen did not commit suicide, just to see the Daheng army return to this city one day, thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, let this day come so early. In this way, the sinner will not have to live, and the minister will go to see ...... Go and see General Wu, who sacrificed his life for the country...... To meet the people who have died tragically these days......"
Before Emperor Qinghua ordered the soldiers to drag the old man out of prison, he wanted to cure the old courtier's responsibility for poor guarding. It's just that when he saw the old man's ragged clothes and haggard appearance, he really couldn't bear to give such a cruel order.
This is a small city called Dicheng on the border of Daheng, as the closest city to the Northern Barbarians, the clouds of war will always shroud the sky of the city. Four or five years ago, the old man took the initiative to ask for help and took up the position of governor of the city with the determination to die.
His name is Ye Deyu, and he is a frustrated person in the power struggle in the imperial capital, and he came to Dicheng with the will to seek death.
Ye Deyu thought that he was not even afraid of death, and there was nothing in the world that could move him anymore. Until that day, the gate of Di Cheng was pushed open by the siege car, and he told him the truth with a heartbreak. He almost threw himself into the battlefield where the arrows rained down, and luckily he was not shot by the arrows, but he was still captured by the enemy.
How can a 60-year-old scholar who is weak and weak defeat thousands of troops?
Ye Deyu was dismantled and lost his literati demeanor.
A bright dagger stabbed into his thin, shriveled abdomen, and bright red blood soaked through his clothes, bleeding a cruel color. By the time the frightened Emperor Qinghua hurried in front of him, Ye Deyu, who had been tortured in prison for more than ten days, was already dying.
The whites of his eyes were bloodshot, his pupils could only be seen as cloudy, the corners of his mouth were chapped, and his nostrils were spitting out a tiny breath.
Emperor Qinghua's heart was full of guilt, just now, he even wondered for a moment whether this loyal minister of the country was acting. The military doctor shook his head, meaning that Ye Deyu had really come to the end of his life.
Taking a deep breath, Emperor Qinghua's hand was on the back of Ye Deyu's head, just begging to make up for the old man when he was dying.
"Ye Qing, you tell me, what other wishes do you have now?"
Ye Deyu coughed, the blood from the cut and bruised internal organs spurted out of his mouth, his dirty face suddenly glowed red, and he tried to raise his voice as much as possible: "The minister begs Your Majesty to bury me and Zhu Liang, the guard of Di City, outside Di Cheng, this is his wish before the city breaks." Also, the minister prayed that His Majesty would bring the people of Daheng to pacify the Northern Barbarians and avenge the tragic death of the people of Daheng. Lao Chen...... The old minister is incompetent, and this sinful body will not remain in the world, the minister ...... Minister......"
Ye Qing ...... Ye Qing ......"
Ye Deyu, who could no longer hear the call, had a line of cloudy tears flowing from the corners of his eyes, and Emperor Qinghua wiped his face clean with his sleeves. He stood up, a hint of anger on his face.
"Say, how many people in the city of Di died tragically."
The eunuchs who were waiting left and right hurriedly went to ask for clarification, and when they came back, the eunuch's feminine side also became hideous because of anger, and the little eunuch suppressed a sharp voice and said: "Your Majesty, in Di Cheng, in just these ten days, hundreds of families have died, and thousands of lives have all died. This is still seen at the moment, and there are still many places that have not had time to explore, I'm afraid ......"
Emperor Qinghua had a cold face, pulled out the sword at his waist, and held the sword with both hands and slashed diagonally at the wooden pillar beside him. The force was terrifying, and the blade of the sword was sunk deep into the pillar. The big and small officials in the lobby knelt on the ground in an instant, and they all lowered their heads and did not dare to infringe on the emperor's might.
The emperor was furious, and his blood flowed thousands of miles.
The only person in the lobby who didn't kneel was naturally the new prince with an empty sleeve. He knelt again while he was commanded.
"Wang Lie obeys orders, I order you to pacify the Northern Barbarians, do you dare to take orders!"
"The last general dares to disobey his fate."
……………………
When the war between Daheng and Beiban Nanqing was in full swing, the situation in Chen was quite stable and in temporary stability. However, when the Nanqing army marched north, the temporary stability was about to end, and the state of Chen would also be involved in this war involving all the countries in this land.
Daling Province, a province on the border of the state of Chen.
There is still a calm on the surface, but behind the scenes, there is already smoke of gunfire. In the unseen place, a force that has been entrenched here for many years mobilizes all its forces and is ready to resist the airborne minister.
It's just that Shu Sanxi's subordinates are a little disapproving, in their cognition, the so-called minister of the Qin Mission is nothing to fear, after all, under the hands of the master Shu Santen, such a high-ranking minister has fallen several times, and now that Huang Shilong is the most vivid example. And I heard that the minister had not been out of the mansion for several days, wasn't he already afraid?
However, they did not dare to disobey any of the orders of the book and make any slack moves, after all, the master was not only merciless to his enemies, but also unambiguous to his men. The appearance of those enemies in pain and survival in the book Lent play, no normal person wants to experience.
So they followed the instructions of the book for thirty years, and the dark tide surged throughout Daling Province. (To be continued.) )
