Chapter 15: The Battle of Wild Grass Slope

When you become the crown prince, will you be far from the throne?

When he becomes the crown prince, the whole world is not the king's land. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

If you can't be the prince, everything has nothing to do with you, and you may be targeted in various ways, and your life will be lost if you are not careful.

These are two extremes, two heavens of ice and fire.

But then again, if you want to be the prince, you must behave well in front of Chen Ang and let him see that he has the qualifications to be the prince. And the best way at the moment is to accumulate combat merits and bring out the brave side of yourself on the battlefield.

From this point of view, he must destroy Chen Guo, which is what Chen Ang wants to see, and it is also a bargaining chip for Chen Guang to ascend to the throne of the crown prince. Under this premise, the cruelty of war seems to have been forgotten by him. Anyway, if you don't hit yourself, others will fight, so why not take it down yourself?

Presumably, the most unfair ones are the ordinary people, who are all victims anyway.

As the fire outside grew bigger, Chen Guang asked Hongjiang to send people to extinguish the fire, while at the same time promoting his policies to the people in the city.

After becoming a citizen of Qianguo, they can be exempted from paying taxes for one year.

This point is the most important, although the ancient harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes are not as numerous as now, but the quantity is large, the production of one hundred catties of rice, you have to pay thirty or forty catties of taxes, and then the landlord and the old wealth of the landlord and then loot a part, the people who work for a year may not be able to fill their stomachs with the grain, but after the exemption from taxes, at least eat more, this benefit is visible.

Chen Guang deeply knows the importance of propaganda, didn't someone say before that the victory of my x is the victory of propaganda, and now Chen Guang is ready to follow the steps of Taizu and use propaganda to open up the situation.

It's still the same sentence, attacking the heart is the top, and attacking the city is the bottom.

The streets and alleys of the city are plastered with leaflets, exempting next year's taxes, simple and rude. In fact, Chen Guang also thought about finding a group of people to give speeches everywhere and demagogue, but all the people brought out this time were soldiers, and few people knew how to read, let alone be able to take on the important task of giving speeches.

The army of Qianguo dispatched a lot of people to extinguish the fire, after all, this is a hilly area, the trees are thick, and the weather is hot, once the fire burns, it is not so easy to extinguish it. Fortunately, there were a large number of Qianguo troops, and Chen Guang, a modern man, had a lot of fun playing with plans such as isolation belts, and finally it took three days to completely extinguish the fire. For this reason, Qianguo also sacrificed more than a dozen soldiers, and Chen Guang took advantage of this opportunity to once again propagate that a wave of Qianguo was to serve the people.

He had been delayed for several days in Huizhong City, and by the time the team came out of Huizhong City and continued to advance towards Chen Guo's capital, it was already three months since Chen Guang left Qianguo.

Summer has passed, the leaves are beginning to turn yellow, and there seems to be a bleak atmosphere between heaven and earth. Chen Guang likes this season very much, although it seems to be very suitable for parting, but the advantage is that there is a lot to eat, especially when marching outside, there are wild fruits to eat at this time, which is considered a benefit along the way. For example, a few days ago, Chen Guang found a forest growing a fruit that looked like a longan, but it tasted very good, and he didn't know what it was called.

On this day, they had just crossed a mountain range and walked in a relatively flat wilderness.

"What's up ahead?" Chen Guang asked.

"The place in front of it is called Wild Grass Slope, and the locals say that the wild grass here grows very vigorously and grows quickly no matter how you clean it up, so it has such a name." Hong Jiang said.

What a nasty name. Chen Guang muttered in his heart, and then said: "The wildfire can't burn inexhaustibly, the spring breeze blows and grows, what grows naturally, why bother with him?" ”

In this era, there has never been a person named Bai Juyi, and naturally no one knows such a simple but philosophical verse.

The so-called philosophy, Chen Guang's understanding is some nonsense that is said in a very literary and artistic way, without any eggs.

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin has a point, it's just that the people are stupid." Hong Jiang said.

There was a lot of weeds on the weedy slope, it was a mound, but the place was large, and the gentle uphill slope seemed to extend to the horizon. The weeds were almost a man tall, and the wind blew and swayed like waves.

There are a few thatched huts not far away, which are very simple, but despite this, this scenery, with this place, also has a bit of the taste of "settling in the human realm, without the noise of cars and horses".

The place is good, but no one appreciates it, and all the mood is a pastime after eating and drinking, and yet 99 percent of the people are now struggling to feed the one percent of the privileged class.

"How far is it from Chen's capital?" Chen Guang asked. It's autumn, and Chen Guo must be beaten down before the New Year, and then the class teacher will return to the court.

You must know that although the crown prince has been abolished, there is no new prince, and the task in the live broadcast room clearly shows that Chen Guang must become the prince within a year, otherwise he will be wiped out by the system.

Although Chen Guang still can't figure out how this system uses to erase himself, he doesn't dare to risk his life, although this sounds like science fiction, but what if it's true? It's better not to try to challenge the authenticity of the live broadcast room.

"Passing through the weedy slope, there is a Daxing City in front, and after passing Daxing City, it will be their capital." Hong Jiang said.

Chen Guang calculated, according to this theory, at most half a month to be able to occupy the capital of Chen State, and by that time, Chen State will be completely included in the territory of Qianguo. Then he hurried back to the court and fought for the position of the prince, it seemed that it was still too late.

Well, I decided so happily, hurry up and finish the fight and go home to be the prince.

Chen Guang was thinking about this, but Hong Jiang suddenly shouted: "His Royal Highness King Jin is careful. ”

Chen Guang shuddered coldly, and was about to ask what was going on, when he flew a feather arrow towards him, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, the whole person was crooked, and he fell off the horse, and the feather arrow flew behind, killing an unsuspecting soldier.

The horn sounded, and Hong Jiang shouted: "Enemy attack, enemy attack......"

The Qianguo army on the march was caught off guard by this sudden attack, and the formation was immediately out of order.

From the other side of the mountain, or perhaps from the grass, I don't know how many feathered arrows flew out, and the sun in the sky seemed to be obscured.

The soldiers hurriedly blocked it with their shields. But this shield is not available to everyone, and most of them are directly exposed to the range of this arrow.

The screams came one after another, and in the blink of an eye, many people fell, and the situation seemed to return to a few days ago, but now the offensive and defensive sides have swapped places.

Chen Guang knew that he had lost the ability to start a group first, and in the face of the menacing Chen army, he chose to retreat and avoid the edge for the time being. After fully understanding what Chen Guang meant, Hong Jiang hurriedly ordered to retreat.

For the first time since its departure, the Qianguo army retreated.

However, it is not so easy to go back so much, and there will be a large delay in scheduling.

But your opponent won't give you the time to adjust.

"Rush, ......"

"Kill......"

Suddenly there was a roar in front of me, followed by a rustling sound in the grass, and then I saw a lot of people coming out of the grass.

During this period of time, Chen Jun has been pressed and beaten by the army of Qianguo, and he has been suffocated for too long, and now he has finally seized an opportunity, and he can take revenge, Chen Jun is like being beaten with chicken blood, and he has knives, guns and sticks in his hands and begins to rush over.

Seeing this scene, Chen Guang also lost his temper, encounter? Okay, Lao Tzu won't retreat today, let's fight openly!

"Don't go, damn it, shout brothers, kill!" Chen Guang roared angrily.

Hong Jiang didn't say anything, he was bullied in front of him, what is it if he doesn't fight back? Fight and fight, there is no word "escape" in the dictionary of our army!

"Kill ......" Since you don't run away, let's fight, our army of the Great Qianguo is still afraid of your little Chen Guo?

Watching his companions fall beside him also aroused everyone's blood, as a soldier, there is no one to be afraid of, since you want to do it, then do it.

As a result, the two sides encountered each other, and the originally quiet weedy slope became noisy, and the shouts and howls of killing came and went.

The pale yellow weeds, stained with bright red blood, swayed in the wind and soaked in a dark red color.

The two sides engaged in hand-to-hand combat, and as time passed, everyone was red-eyed, and under the swing of the big knife, the arms and thighs flew wildly, which was very tragic.

Chen Guang had already taken out his sword and was about to rush to the front, but he was stopped by Hong Jiang.

"His Royal Highness King Jin, danger."

Although it was a surprise attack, the people who protected Chen Guang still had a basis for advancing and retreating, and protected Chen Guang in the middle position.

Looking at the battle in front of him, Chen Guang was a little eager to try, and said, "Go up and kill, what are you waiting here for?" ”

Hong Jiang said: "It is my duty to protect His Royal Highness the King of Jin. ”

Chen Guangdao: "What do I want you to protect, I want to go up and kill the enemy." ”

"Never."

No matter what Chen Guang said, Hong Jiang just wouldn't let him go to the front, and Chen Guang had no choice but to watch under heavy protection.

The battle lasted for a quarter of an hour, and Chen Guo's army was numerous, plus it was the first move, and it also occupied the commanding heights, which could effectively suppress the army of Qianguo.

As time passed, the army of Qianguo seemed to be somewhat unable to resist, so Hongjiang ordered a retreat. The so-called enemy advancing and retreating is precisely the fine tradition of our army.

Chen Guang retreated under heavy protection and retreated from the weedy slope, and the entire hillside was now blood-red, and the Qianguo army suffered heavy losses.
