Chapter 22 To reform, first ascend to the throne, do not draw the sword, and be a filial son
Jiang Huan Chu was stunned for a long time, his eyes flickering.
But in the end, the sharp light still replaced the confusion and hesitation, and he turned his head and stared at his son viciously: "Wen Huan, do you want Donglu to become the enemy of all the princes?" ”
Jiang Wenhuan was not in a hurry: "Father, the times have changed, what you don't do, Yuan Futong did, if you continue to be stubborn, there will be more and more princes to reform, and then Donglu will really be hopeless!" ”
"Nonsense!"
Jiang Huan Chu said categorically: "Yuan Futong is a rebel, he is no longer a prince, and the princes of the world will not do such an evil act that will disturb the country!" ”
Jiang Wenhuan's eyes flashed with disappointment.
He knew that his father didn't have much ambition, and he didn't have the idea of going further and becoming the Son of Heaven, just hoping to keep the status of Donglu.
And without the labor of slaves, sucking the blood of the aristocratic lords, how can the aristocracy spend all their time drinking and enjoying life in this era when productivity is still low?
Therefore, once the hierarchy is solidified, if it wants to be broken, it will inevitably be accompanied by bloodshed.
But now, with enough blood flowing, isn't it vigilant enough?
Oh, maybe it's because the blood of the nobles isn't enough!
He really didn't want to get to that point, really didn't want to.
Jiang Wenhuan had to persuade again, and another personal guard came to report: "Master Hou, there is a Chen Qi who is carrying grain and is waiting for orders outside the city." ”
Jiang Huan Chu was overjoyed: "Grain and grass!" Let him in! ”
Not long after, a man with a bare face, a nose and a wide mouth, and a pair of demon pestles on his back walked over and knelt down on one knee: "Chen Qi greets Master Hou!" ”
Jiang Huan Chu looked at the shallow slave mark on Chen Qi's forehead, and his pupils contracted slightly.
In order to determine the identity of the slaves, many princes directly imprinted their faces, which would be retained with the bloodline for generations, and only when they were given the surname would the heirs show signs of fading of this slave mark, and after three generations, the mark would be completely eliminated.
This grain transport officer is a slave, no wonder he can only be a grain transport officer!
Jiang Huanchu's expression quickly returned to normal, and he stepped forward to help him up: "General Chen, please get up quickly, this time the general is missing for sending food, Ben Hou thank you!" ”
Chen Qi hugged his fists and said: "I don't dare to be called a general, I am from a humble background, I can't be reused, I only want to be a grain supervisor in the rear, I regret it, if the Hou Ye can give 3,000 soldiers and horses, I am willing to follow the example, with all the dogs and horses, and retreat from the army of the North Sea!" ”
This is a straight intestine, Jiang Wenhuan admires him very much, but Jiang Huanchu's smile is already a little stiff, and he always feels that this guy has something to say, is he ridiculing himself, and said perfunctorily: "The general must not underestimate the enemy, then Yuan Futong came prepared this time, and there is no chance of winning in a head-to-head confrontation, only to stick to the city, wait for His Majesty's reinforcements, and force him back!" ”
Chen Qi's eyes were big like copper bells, and he said loudly: "Master Hou is above, if I don't capture Yuan Futong alive and come to see me, put the top head in front of me!" ”
He was majestic, the tiger's eyes were glaring, the soldiers on the city wall trembled in their hearts, and some even took a step back, Jiang Huan Chu saw him so powerful, he didn't want to believe it in his heart, but he had extravagant hopes.
At this moment, Jiang Wenhuan assisted beside him: "Father, I think General Chen is a strange man, my Donglu soldiers and horses are strong, and there is no shortage of soldiers, why not let him give it a try?" ”
Jiang Huan Chu nodded slowly: "Okay, I will give you 3,000 soldiers and horses to meet Yuan Futong, if you can defeat him, you will be rewarded!" ”
"Thank you, Master Hou! Thank you, little marquis! ”
Chen Qi was overjoyed, received the military order, turned over the fiery golden-eyed beast, and pointed into a whistle, and called out, a cluster of people and horses appeared, all running like tigers, flying over the mountain stream, called the flying tiger soldiers.
is also a Dao soldier, this Flying Tiger Soldier and the Fire Spirit Holy Mother's Fire Dragon Soldier who can use Samadhi Fire are naturally not the same, but they are also much stronger than mortal soldiers.
Jiang Huan Chu knew that he had picked up the treasure, and he was immediately overjoyed, and he was also much more pleasing to Jiang Wenhuan: "Wenhuan, I know that you have sympathy for slaves, and the next appeasement can be done by you, be kind to them, these cheap slaves will be grateful to Dade's ......"
Sing blackface for yourself, and for your son to sing whiteface, and when you rule in the future, those foolish slaves will also welcome a better ruler.
Jiang Wenhuan did not respond and turned to leave.
On the other side, Chen Qi was in high spirits and frantically slapped the buttocks of the fire-eyed beast.
His grandfather was a slave, his father got rid of his nationality, but unfortunately he was still discriminated against, he worshipped strangers as teachers in his early years, learned a skill, and always wanted to make contributions.
He led 3,000 Donglu troops and 3,000 flying tiger soldiers, marching at a rapid speed like flowing water in the shape of the northern non-deuce water.
In just a few hours, on the horizon ahead, there was a chaotic march of the Beihai army.
The army formed by slaves, this battle is all based on a single blow, every time they take a city, their spirit is more vigorous, plus there is enough food, so that they can continue to attack, but once they experience defeat, I am afraid that the weakness of the rabble will be exposed, and they will disperse in a hurry.
"You attack from the flanks!"
Chen Qi observed carefully, waited silently for an hour, and suddenly gave an order, and those Donglu soldiers who were marching like clouds and fog by the Flying Tiger soldiers involuntarily attacked from the flanks.
"Huh?"
When the enemy appeared, Yuan Futong was stunned.
His army of more than 200,000 people attacked the city and plundered the land for days, facing the battle of defending the city, and it was the first time that an army dared to confront them on a plain where there was no danger to defend.
There are only 3,000 people, and more than 200,000 people have to be beaten, and they are all the same foot soldiers, no different from sending them to death!
However, the appearance of such a well-packed enemy, the undisciplined characteristics of the slaves were instantly exposed.
The formation was completely loosened, and in order to gain battle merits and get rid of the slaves, countless slaves screamed and rushed over one after another.
So, Chen Qi took three thousand flying tiger soldiers, detoured to the rear, walked like a long snake, everyone held a hook in his hand, dragged the copper rope horizontally, and the lightning pounced, hitting Yuan Futong of the middle army.
"Stupid!"
Yuan Futong stood still and sneered.
This kind of sound seems to have some effect, but his command is not exactly slaves, and there are 20,000 truly elite soldiers.
In particular, a thousand guards protected Yuan Futong and was invulnerable.
Waiting for you to die!
"Hah!"
Unexpectedly, the two armies were still some distance apart, and Chen Qi's chest was bulging, and a thick yellow gas suddenly erupted from his mouth and blew it directly.
Only then did the Beihai army realize that at some point, the wind direction actually changed, and it was blowing towards them.
So, the yellow wind came to his face, with the breath of reincarnation, and the soldiers who were shrouded in it choked their necks, and Ma Jingtao's emoji appeared in unison, and then they were dizzy, their minds were blank, and they all fell down.
"Capture the enemy!"
Chen Qi stretched out his hand to probe, and the three thousand flying tiger soldiers were like one person, locking all the fallen soldiers with a hook and copper lock, and holding them in the air, while he tied up Yuan Futong himself, captured him alive, and returned suddenly.
The entire army, like an arrow, stabbed and retracted in the Beihai army, and returned like lightning.
The remaining soldiers wanted to pursue, but it was completely too late, so they could only watch them leave in style.
"Hahahaha!"
After Chen Qi succeeded, he imagined in his mind that he would be appreciated by Dongbohou, become a general of Donglu, marry a noble lady, and walk to the pinnacle of life.
Yuan Futong was woken up, and after understanding the situation in front of him, he looked at Chen Qi, and saw the slave mark on his forehead at first glance, and said in surprise: "Since you are a slave, why did you come to arrest Benhou?" ”
This is similar to Bai Zhenhua, you are black, and you actually support Trump?
But the black man couldn't change his complexion, but Chen Qi glared at him angrily: "I'm not a slave, my surname is Chen, my name is Chen Qi!" ”
Yuan Futong shook his head: "The nobles have been noble for generations, and the slaves have been humble for generations, the slave seal is to remind you of your identity, before the slave seal is not separated, it doesn't matter what your surname is, what is your official position in Donglu?" ”
Chen Qi was stunned for a moment, and said proudly: "I am about to become a general!" ”
Yuan Futong immediately sneered: "Ha, with your ability, you would have been able to get ahead a long time ago, but Ben Hou has never heard of your name, you can't become a general, Jiang Huan Chu knows that person very well, he is now forced to a desperate situation by my Beihai, so he will use you, but he is just using you, and when I die, your fate will not be good!" ”
Chen Qi was furious: "What nonsense! ”
Yuan Fu channel: "Nonsense? Do you believe it Jiang Huan Chu saw me, and he had to loosen the tie and give the seat, just because I am a nobleman, the nobles are arrested, they enjoy power, and the slaves are arrested, and the only way to end up is to behead the public! ”
"Then I'll kill you now!"
Chen Qi was annoyed and ashamed, and the demon pestle went directly to the top of Yuan Futong's head.
Yuan Futong was also stubborn, and he was not afraid: "Although you kill me, without trial, kill a prince privately, the world is so big, there is no place for you anymore!" ”
The demon pestle suddenly stagnated, stopping three inches on Yuan Futong's face, Chen Qi's chest rose and fell, and his eyes showed unwillingness and anger.
Yuan Futong's tone eased: "Your own soul, in Donglu is really wasteful, if you are under my command, you are already a general, leading an army, making meritorious contributions, let me go, and promise you glory and wealth!" ”
Chen Qi refused without hesitation: "Am I a traitor seeking glory?" ”
Yuan Futong rolled his eyes, and said: "I once heard a gentleman preach at Chaoge, the same human race, slaves should not be congenitally inferior, you help Jiang Huan Chu today, it is not the Northern Plains Army that will be destroyed, but the freedom of thousands of slaves in the world!" ”
Chen Qi shook his head again, not listening or listening: "Master Hou has the grace of knowing me, how can I turn my back?" Chen Qi is starving to death, and if he jumps off the Donglu city wall, he will not betray Hou Ye! ”
He didn't want to listen to Yuan Futong anymore, he spit out a mouthful of yellow air, Yuan Futong snapped, was directly fainted, and started a rapid march.
Just an hour later, Donglu City was in sight, Chen Qi had already sent the Flying Tiger Soldiers to report, Jiang Huan Chu got the news, and he couldn't believe his ears: "Then the grain transport officer really captured Yuan Futong?" Bring it on! Wait, let him park those Flying Tiger soldiers outside the city and not enter the city! ”
Chen Qi originally offered the captives with great dignity, but after hearing this request, his face changed, but after all, he still entered the city alone, and escorted Yuan Futong, who was tied up with five flowers, in front of Jiang Huanchu: "Master Hou, the last general is fortunate not to be dishonored!" ”
The self-proclaimed last general, this time it is worthy of the name.
Jiang Huan Chu didn't care about this kind of small detail, looking at the unconscious Yuan Futong, it was like a prince looking at a sleeping princess, and he couldn't take his eyes off: "It's really him!" Hahahaha, God bless me Donglu, God bless me Donglu! ”
Chen Qi was a little unhappy when he saw that Jiang Huan Chu hadn't looked at him from beginning to end, but he also understood the other party's excitement, after all, the thief captured the king first, and took the enemy leaders over, isn't this battle over?
However, when Yuan Futong woke up and looked at Jiang Huan Chu, he smiled coldly: "Dong Bohou, this battle is not over yet, I have already arranged the future since the incident, if there are three long and two short, my son will take over the position of Hou Ye, the promise of the slave will never change, you can arrest me, but you can't level the Beihai army!" ”
This is the same as the fact that Di Yi's father killed Ji Chang's father in the past, the princes are all big families, and many heirs, unless they can come up with a desperate plan, as long as the original policy remains unchanged, it really won't have much impact.
But Jiang Huan Chu was not in a hurry, and laughed: "Those slaves are so foolish, what about the princes of Beihai Seventy-two Road, Yuan Futong, how can your son be suppressed?" Do you think it's all my son Jiang Wenhuan, who is wise and martial, and bravely crowns the three armies? ”
Yuan Futong is also full of confidence: "My son once listened to a lecture under the seat of Master Huang, and his studies are advancing day by day, how can he not suppress the princes of the seventy-two roads?" ”
"Then we'll see!"
Jiang Huan Chu said to the left and right: "Take Marquis Yuan down, entertain well, don't let others laugh at our Donglu hospitality!" ”
This was originally a yin and yang weirdness among the nobles, but Chen Qi didn't understand it, and when he saw that Dong Bohou really wanted to treat this rebel politely, his face suddenly changed.
The change in his expression was too obvious, Jiang Huan Chu turned his gaze away, and a smile appeared on his face: "Wanli Surprise Attack, make this great achievement, Ben Hou will definitely not treat you badly!" ”
Chen Qi heard the perfunctory from it.
He is a strange person, and a yellow qi in his abdomen has been cultivated, which can shock three souls and seven spirits, and it is really not difficult to distinguish lies.
Yuan Futong's previous words, although he did not make him defect, but left a psychological shadow, at this time, seeing that Jiang Huan Chu did not let the Flying Tiger soldiers enter the city first, and then did not mention the matter of military power for a moment, his heart was already half cold.
"Little Hou Ye! You can go to the little marquis! ”
However, Chen Qi thought about it, it was Jiang Wenhuan's persuasion before that he had the opportunity to show his merits this time, so he simply went to Jiang Wenhuan, believing that he would not treat himself badly.
Exiting the lobby, Chen Qi began to search for Jiang Wenhuan's whereabouts, but found that the little marquis was not in the mansion, and his breath extended all the way outward.
He pursued all the way to the outside of a slum and infiltrated it.
Soon, he heard a shocking conversation:
"Little Marquis, these are the hiding places of grain and grass."
"You have worked hard, I am for Donglu and for the thousands of Terran compatriots in the world, thank you!"
"I don't dare to be, I really don't dare to be...... Little Marquis, can we beat Beihai...... Will they rush into the city? ”
"Don't worry, Donglu City will not be broken, after the city is broken, the most injured are innocent civilians, but the situation of slaves must be changed, and Donglu must be reformed!"
"That's great, we'll support it!"
Chen Qi couldn't bear it anymore and poked his head over.
He saw that the slaves inside were not kneeling, nor were they bent over, they were talking to Jiang Wenhuan, the little marquis, on an equal footing.
This is unthinkable in the outside world.
But Jiang Wenhuan took it for granted, and there was a group of civilians in strange clothes, who seemed to be from the same sect, and they also took it for granted.
And those slaves were spread by their ideas, and they no longer obeyed it, and even learned to fake burn grain and grass, and secretly hide it in case of contingency.
Everything seems to be for a subversive feat.
Chen Qi's heart thumped.
It was also this mood fluctuation, and a disciple of the Academy Palace in a robe, with a turn of his eyes, the shadow of gossip instantly took off and pressed straight down!
The upper hexagram is Ze, the lower hexagram is water, Daze is leaking, the aquatic grass fish and shrimp are in a poor situation, this is a difficult hexagram!
Suddenly, Chen Qi felt that there was infinite power to bind him, squeezing him from all directions!
His chest rose and fell, and he subconsciously wanted to spew out yellow gas, but he held it back, almost not being smoked to death, and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't do it, I'm my own person!" ”
Jiang Wenhuan walked over and was a little surprised to see him: "General Chen, you are back, how is Yuan Futong?" ”
In the past, Chen Qi would proudly boast about his achievements, but now looking at those bright eyes, he lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Yuan Futong has been captured by me!" ”
Jiang Wenhuan praised: "General Chen is really a warrior!" ”
Chen Qi said abruptly: "You don't blame me? ”
Jiang Wenhuan said: "The two armies are fighting, each is its master, and there is nothing wrong with capturing Yuan Futong. ”
Chen Qi said: "But little marquis, you want to liberate the slaves, isn't Yuan Futong the same as what you did?" ”
Jiang Wenhuan looked in the direction of Chao Ge and showed respect: "Yuan Futong and I listened to the lecture under Mr. Yu's seat, we are both human races, we have the same big goal, but Yuan Futong is Beihai, I am Donglu, this is different, I respect him for taking the first step, but I will not follow everything!" ”
Chen Qi was half-understood when he heard it, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Jiang Wenhuan came to him and saluted: "General Chen, I have something to ask for!" ”
Chen Qi waved his hand again and again: "If there is something wrong with the little marquis, just give the order!" ”
Jiang Wenhuan said: "I want to ask General Chen to capture my father and help me ascend to the position of Dongbohou!" ”
……
Night.
Yuan Futong was in the cell, lying on the barely clean thatch, thinking about his son, whether he could subdue the princes of Beihai Seventy-two Road, even if he succeeded, what was the chance of winning in the face of the Wang Shi who would definitely arrive?
He sighed deeply, welling up with wavering and regret.
Maybe it's still too impulsive.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside, faintly fighting and roaring.
But soon, everything returned to calm, as if the previous confrontation had been an illusion.
Yuan Futong sat up abruptly and listened.
He felt that something must have happened in Donglu City, could it be that Chen Qi was the opposite?
No, even if this guy was able to sneak up on Jiang Huan Chu with a strange technique, the chaos wouldn't stop so quickly......
So what's going on?
Immediately afterwards, the sound of the mountain roaring and tsunami sounded again, and the momentum of the return of all the people to the heart, he had only seen it on the throne of the king of Xu.
It's a heartfelt endorsement of a leader.
Hundreds of thousands of people are shouting a name, the name of a new head of the eight hundred princes, the lord of Donglu:
"Dongbohou Jiang Wenhuan!"
