Chapter 312: Good Things and Bad Things
After the rat demon incident, Huang Xue's life fell into a dull situation again, practicing, learning the piano, and accompanying Yin Quan, that's all.
After that, a lot of things happened in the DPRK and China, most of them were good things, but there were also some bad things.
Starting from the good news, first of all, there was a war report from Beihai Wenzhong, and now the cities in Beihai are scattered sand, except for a few stubborn resistants, most of the cities are looking at the wind.
Judging from this situation, there is no problem in pacifying Beihai County this year, and Wen Zhong expects to return to the dynasty after the order of Beihai County is re-established, which is likely to be the beginning of next year.
A war has been fought for eight years, and it is finally coming to an end, and the whole court and the central government are full of joy.
Of course, this is not a surprise to the Shang King, now that the bodies of the seventy-two princes of Beihai have turned to ashes in the palace, if Wen Zhong can't solve the chaos in Beihai County as soon as possible, then he should find out what kind of tricks Wen Zhong is doing in Beihai.
The second thing, after the rat demon made a song of the court, because of Jiang Ziya's meritorious work in eliminating demons, he was awarded the position of doctor by the king of Shang.
From a grass farmer to the official position of a doctor, ordinary people may not be able to survive in 20 years, but Ziya only took less than half a year. Now everyone knows that he is a popular person in front of the king of Shang, so some old ministers in the court are extremely polite to him.
The biggest benefit this brings to Ziya is that Ji Chang is also courteous to him, and often invites him to the official residence for banquets and discussions.
The king of Shang treats himself so well, and Ziya naturally has to repay the favor. By mid-May, two large kilns had been built outside the castle, and two more were under construction to meet the growing demand for construction in the castle.
The first bricks have already been produced, and of course they are being shipped to the palace first. If there is no accident, at the end of May, he will stop caring about the brick kiln for the time being, but spare all his strength to start the construction of Gonglutai.
Due to the use of bricks, the construction progress of Lutai will also be much faster than the original.
It is initially expected that Lutai will be completed by October, but Shang Wang has already invested an additional 1 million yuan and asked Ziya to complete the construction of Lutai by mid-September.
Because he planned to set up a banquet in Lutai in late September to celebrate Huang Xue's twentieth birthday. Of course, this day is Su Daji's birthday, and it has nothing to do with Huang Xue.
Because of the successive construction of brick kilns, Zigan had proposed a huge renovation plan to the Shang king, preparing to use three years to renovate Chaoge's sewer system with bricks, and replace all the earthen embryo houses with brick houses in five years.
This plan will involve more than 60 million dollars, and after completion, the appearance of Chaoge City will be completely renewed, but because of the cost is too great, the Shang King is still a little hesitant, but it is also very likely to agree.
The third good thing is that Zigan sent someone to secretly conduct a thorough investigation of the royal family because the monster pretended to be Yin Quan to participate in the royal festival. Although it has not yet been found out who colluded with the monsters, it has found out the illegal things of some royal families, and some people have also been found to have colluded with the pseudo-Dongbohou Jiang Wenhuan and the pseudo-Nanbohou Eshun.
Naturally, the king of Shang investigated and dealt with it in accordance with the law, which immediately made the political arena of the court and the central government clear, and the government and the opposition praised the wisdom of the king of Shang. This can really be regarded as intentionally planting flowers and flowers, and unintentionally planting willows and willows.
The forces in the east and south were hit hard as a result, not to mention Eshun, but Jiang Wenhuan was chased and beaten by Jiang Wenye by taking the opportunity, and he was gradually in danger. Of course, this is not good news for Shen Gongbao, who went to Donglu to help Jiang Wenhuan.
After talking about the good things, we have to talk about the bad things.
Hou Suhu of Jizhou, at the behest of the king of Shang, went to Chongcheng to crusade against the Northern Bohou Chonghou Hu. This was originally the credit given to Su Hu by the King of Shang, and after the crusade, Su Hu was likely to be awarded the position of Northern Bohou. It's a pity that Su Hu messed things up.
When Huang Xue heard about this, she was really angry.
Chonghou Hu is a well-known soft persimmon, when he heard that he intended to rebel, the people who lined up to beat him were almost squeezed through the door of King Wucheng's mansion.
It is said that Zhang Guifang, the Taishou of Qinglong Pass, not far from Chongcheng, set off 10,000 firecrackers that day to celebrate. Jiameng, who was a little farther away, guarded the four generals of the demon family, but he had been sitting for three days in a row.
Everyone looked at this low-hanging fruit, but as a result, King Shang and King Wucheng engaged in a black-box operation and sent the credit to Su Hu, selling Huang Xue's favor, and the two of them were also under huge pressure.
This kind of abusive war, dad can also lose?
Back then, 10,000 against 50,000 people, the eldest brother Su Quanzhong beat Chonghou Hu, like beating his son, but who would have thought that now 50,000 against 50,000 would be a complete defeat.
Is it because Daddy Su Hu is old, or is it that the eldest brother married his sister-in-law last year and consumed all his energy?
Speaking of this defeat, Su Hu and Su Quanzhong were also extremely aggrieved at this time.
When they first set out on the expedition, they naturally led an army of 50,000 with enthusiasm to make meritorious contributions, and no one thought that there was a possibility of failure. As a result, before he arrived in Chongcheng, he met Chonghou Hu's son Chongying Biao with an army of 10,000 and blocked the front of the road.
Hehe, you also want to play 10,000 against 50,000, boy, you haven't woken up, right?
Su Quanzhong immediately brought 10,000 soldiers to the front and fought with Chongying Biao, which naturally caused Chongying Biao to lose his armor and abandon his armor, and the 10,000 Chongcheng army was also scattered.
Su Hu and Su Quanzhong took the power of victory and killed all the way to the city wall of Chongcheng, so they planned to break the city wall directly, and quickly took the credit and went home to accompany their daughter-in-law.
Who knows, at the critical moment of the siege of the city, it was the rout army that was scattered by them before, and I don't know who organized a thousand soldiers and horses, and they actually killed them from the rear without warning. Until the end, no one could tell where these thousand soldiers and horses came from.
The Chongcheng army took the opportunity to kill out of the city, and under the front and rear attacks, the Jizhou army was in chaos, with countless casualties, grain and grass were also taken away, and Su Quanzhong was also shot in the abdomen by an arrow and was seriously injured.
This battle was really lost inexplicably, Su Hu regrouped after the war, cultivated for three days, and then personally put on the battle, wanting to avenge his son.
Chongying Biao led the army out of the city to meet the enemy, the two sides fought a big battle, and I didn't want to suddenly blow the wind again, blowing off Su Hu's handsome flag, the Jizhou army was shocked, made a mess, and returned defeated again, which was already inexplicably lost the second battle.
Su Hu's troops were already at a disadvantage at this time, and his morale was quite low, but he was not panicked, because he still had a killer weapon that he hadn't come up with.
This killer weapon is a new general he recently recruited, called Zheng Lun, who is now his grain officer.
This Zheng Lun is a disciple of the Scattered Immortal Du'er Zhenren, who has learned spells since he was a child, and has two immortal qi in his nose, once the method is cast, he can make the opponent lose consciousness and be captured.
And this Zheng Lun has a more resounding name in later generations, which is the humming general of the two generals.
