The county capital of Chujun is located in Chuzhou City.

A funeral procession was preparing to leave the city.

Who knows, the stake carrying the coffin actually broke when it was about to cross the city gate, smashing two coffin boys, and one coffin boy was stoned to death.

The funeral procession was stuck at the gate of the city.

The prince of King Fu, who is also the eldest filial son who is about to succeed King Fu, knelt beside the coffin, crying and shouting, and the princess and her dependents also cried to death.

They are not crying for the coffin boy who was stoned to death, they are crying because the old Fu Wang is so restless when he leaves.

Outside the city gate, the group of people who went out of the city first could only wait on the side.

Lao Xiaotou, who played suona, sat in the open space on the side of the official road, and his apprentice Xiao Mazi took the initiative to help him drum hookahs.

In this world, opium has not yet been born, but things like tobacco have long been spread among the people.

The cigarettes made by the blind man Bei for Zheng Fan are only innovations in technology and production methods, in fact, tobacco is also bought ready-made.

Of course, the upper-class people in Qianguo do not smoke tobacco, and compared with Wushisan, the strength of tobacco is really just a drizzle.

Carefully used the fire fold to help his master light a cigarette, Lao Xiao took two puffs, spit out two puffs of cigarettes, and then retched and spit out a large mouthful of thick phlegm.

The apprentice Xiao Mazi immediately helped his master gently pat his back.

Old Xiao Tou turned his head sideways and glanced at the situation at the city gate, but he was not impatient in the slightest, but said to his apprentice:

"Call your Uncle Kang."

"Okay, master."

Soon, an old man with a big gong hanging from his waist came over and approached Lao Xiaotou.

Old Xiao Tou whispered:

"The fork on the other side of the city gate will not be good for a while."

"That's not it, on the way to the funeral, the most taboo is to go wrong, this is also evil, just take off the shelf, and stoned a person to death, and saw blood.

Oh, the lord said that he was sent by the Imperial Court Rites Department to be in charge of the funeral, and looking at his anxious appearance, he probably didn't know what to cook. ”

"I said, Lao Kangtou, don't patronize and watch the excitement, tell everyone a word, at this time, it will definitely have to be delayed, and you will definitely not be able to get on the road for a while.

After getting back on the road later, tell the big guys to stop a little and save some energy, and when the adults asked, they said that we had delayed the meal, and we were hungry and had no strength.

Either let the steward of the palace give us a meal, or give us a reward of two more money. ”

"Yes, just listen to you, and I'll go down as I ask."

"Tell them to be smart, and say they're hungry."

"I know, I know."

Maybe, in the eyes of outsiders, this group of white gentlemen actually dared to knock on the head of the palace on the head of the palace, which is too bold, but they grew up eating white things, and they have seen a lot of dead people, and their courage has been practiced.

What about the palace?

Can the palace make people not hungry?

Old Xiao picked up the hookah again and smashed it twice.

At this time, the apprentice Xiao Mazi came to his master's side and whispered:

"Master, I heard that the prince in the coffin has no head."

Old Xiao frowned, and immediately dragged his apprentice and asked:

"Who sued you?"

"Hua Cuier told me, her mother is the grandmother of the palace, she said that after the prince's coffin was transported back to the house from the north, her mother went to help collect it, and her mother didn't tell her, but after she slept in a room with her mother that night, her mother had a nightmare at night, shouting that the prince's head was gone, and the prince's head was gone............"

"Smack!"

Lao Xiao slapped Xiao Mazi's head on the head, lowered his voice and scolded:

"Don't tell anyone about this, it's going to lose your head!"

Xiao Mazi was taken aback by the master's sharp gaze, and immediately resigned:

"Master, I only told you, I didn't tell anyone, I didn't tell others."

"Turtle grandson, this matter, give the master and I rot in my stomach!"

"I know the master, I know the master."

Old Xiao lowered his head and smoked two more sisha puffs.

Those who do white things, taking advantage of the passage of the Lord's family to have more meals or ask for more rewards, is a matter of course.

But there are some things that ordinary people like themselves can never touch.

Straight sissy thief,

King Fu actually had no head when he came back!

This Fu Wang, the reputation is actually not very good, in the Chuzhou City boundary, when it comes to the Fu King, the big guy will "heh", and then compare the pig next door to how fat it is.

But if you insist on saying how bad this Fu King is, you really can't say.

Anyway, the appearance of a fat head and big ears is not a good thing in the eyes of the common people.

The year before last, there was a scholar who scolded King Fu at the gate of King Fu's mansion and said a word, called, the flesh on your body is the fat of the people!

Xiao Mazi once asked himself what the people's fat and people's ointment meant,

Old Xiao Tou actually doesn't understand,

But as a master, how can he leak the bottom in front of his apprentices?

I told him it was pork skin jelly.

Later, there was a private school gentleman whose wife died, and when he helped him do white things, Lao Xiaotou specially asked the gentleman what "people's fat and people's ointment" meant.

The gentleman nodded, and replied:

It's a lot like pigskin jelly, indeed.

Lao Xiaotou handed the hookah to his apprentice, stretched out his hand, took out a withered stem from the belt around his waist, and bit it in his mouth.

A few days ago, King Fu went out to do a Qin errand, this King Fu Xu is because of the reason for growing fat, and he doesn't go out of the house much on weekdays, but that time, when King Fu went out, the momentum was quite big.

Because that time, outside the city of Chuzhou, a group of wolf soldiers came.

Lao Xiao Tou also deliberately took his own apprentices to take a look, wolf soil soldiers, rare, in the early years, it was these earth soldiers who made great efforts in the southwest of our Daqian!

However, the native soldiers are the native soldiers, and these strange costumes look like a group of uncivilized monkeys.

And none of them have ever seen the world, and if they buy the same thing, they will always be four or five percent more expensive, but they can't help but be happy.

Heh, it's just a bunch of dirt buns.

On that day, Lao Xiao Tou saw King Fu go north with the wolf soldiers, because King Fu was too easy to recognize and too obvious.

What are you doing going north?

Those who do white things, do things when they have something to do, and gather Kan Dashan when they have nothing to do, and the three religions and nine high-ranking officials and nobles have contact, after all, no matter whether they are rich or not, they always have to die.

Because of this, Lao Xiao Tou heard some statements, saying that the Yang Taiwei on the three sides was a little afraid of the swallow dog, and King Fu was ordered to reprimand him as the vassal king this time.

But isn't it, that Captain Yang is a eunuch, and there is no Luan Zi underneath, can he be hard?

For the Yan people, Lao Xiao Tou has seen a lot of Yan people's caravans, and in the early years, he also saw a lot of Yan people's scholars coming over.

Yan people, and their own dry people, look no different.

What will happen if you fight with the Yan people, Lao Xiao Tou doesn't know, it is said that a hundred years ago, he had fought with the Yan people, but after all, a hundred years have passed, and those who have seen the war are long gone.

But it is said that the swallow people are quite capable of fighting,

Old Xiao Tou recognized this,

Yan people are poor,

He is barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, being poor!

Whether in the city or in the country, these poor and impoverished fellows are masters who don't even dare to mess with scoundrels.

However, it is better not to fight.

This is Lao Xiaotou's most simple idea, he didn't think that people would die in war, he might die, and many people would die, but because these people in these ten miles and eight towns have already been suffering from war.

Lao Xiaotou is okay, there is a craft, as the saying goes, the craftsman will not die of hunger in a famine, no matter what happens, this day can always go on.

But the life of the farmer is not easy,

A few months ago, the wolf soldiers and the Western Army came in turn, the wolf soldiers were okay, and there was a nest of buns, but those thieves who were pulling the Western dialect were matched with the army, and they did not do much to buy and sell, and they beat people and smashed stalls at every turn, did not give money for meals, and followed things.

After that, the ancestral army came, the ancestral army was good, the autumn did not commit any crimes, and when he walked, he looked neat.

But after that, the forbidden army that came over was really a bunch of brutes!

Lao Xiaotou wondered, it stands to reason that the forbidden army came from Shangjing, which is the place where the official family lives, and according to legend, the Bianhe River in front of Shangjing will float gold leaf from time to time.

But this group of forbidden troops, robbing people's daughters, and even killing people and goods, have done a lot, and the prefect of Chuzhou took the initiative to find the military leader of the family, but he was kicked back by the military leader.

Who can be an official in the forbidden army, who doesn't have a little background?

After a period of calamity, the forbidden army finally went north, big guy, it can be regarded as being able to take a breath, but every time the soldiers and horses come, the place has to levy food.

Usually, the hardest time for the croppers is spring, but this year is good, and this winter has not yet passed, and it is already impossible to open the pot.

But people will still die the same, and after they die, they are all villagers, you still have to help with errands, people kowtow to you, there is nothing left at home, and you can't force anything.

Old Xiao Tou spit out the grass clippings in his mouth,

sighed in my heart,

This year,

It's not good.

The funeral procession, as soon as it stopped, stopped for most of the day, and many people came to persuade them, and several groups of monks and Taoists came.

Finally, the coffin of King Fu was lifted again.

Old Xiao Tou stood up,

Whether everyone is blowing or knocking or shouting, they are all weak, this is really not pretending, this is really fucking hungry, this day is all about to go down the mountain!

The people in the palace are poorer and more sophisticated than ordinary people, and they have been tossing for so long.

In fact, an accident in the coffin on the way to the funeral is an extremely serious matter, and at the same time, the prince as the person who will inherit the prince, just like the prince before he wants to inherit the throne, even if he is very happy, but he must let out this grief and let everyone see his filial piety.

At the same time, the imperial court's means of dealing with the vassal king are really varied, and they will find fault with you every once in a while, and if there is an accident in the coffin, after being learned by the imperial court, it is inevitable that they will use this to do something, such as the filial piety of the prince and so on.

The most important thing is that the prince and the princess actually knew that when King Fu came back, he had no brain, and they couldn't know the reason, but they were warned by the commander of the silver armor guard stationed in Chuzhou City not to ask more.

All kinds of reasons and emotions are intertwined, and through this incident, it broke out directly, which is why it has been delayed for so long.

Old Xiao suddenly felt that his legs and stomach were shaking,

Hurriedly stretched out his hand and said:

"In vain."

"Master?"

"Holding me, I'm so hungry that my legs and stomach are starting to tremble."

"Master, I'm hungry too, and my legs and stomach are trembling."

"You are a rabbit cub, you dare to ......"

"No, master, I'm not hungry, it's this place, trembling!"

Lao Xiao was stunned for a moment, and felt it carefully, as if this place was really trembling.

Then

Old Xiao raised his head,

Ahead of his line of sight,

There was a black press!

"Knock knock! Knock knock! Knock knock! ”

"Boy, get out of the way!"

Old Xiaotou's reaction at this time was quite fast, and he directly reached out and rolled to the side with his apprentice.

Behind him, the sound of the iron knight roared like thunder, and the dust raised almost buried the master and apprentice.

Immediately after, screams and screams were heard all around.

Otherwise, Lao Xiao didn't hear clearly, only heard one sentence:

The swallow dog is coming!

Xiao Mazi seemed to want to get up, but was held down by Lao Xiao's head.

Mother,

The swallow people are coming?

How could it be that the Yan people are coming?

Are the soldiers and horses on the three sides finished?

The Western Army is finished?

The forbidden army is also over?

The ancestral army is also over?

Old Xiao Tou was very puzzled, he heard people calculate, saying that we are a big worker, at the border, but there are millions of troops!

The straight mother thief is a million pigs, and the Yan people have to catch it for a long time if they want to catch it, why did they suddenly kill Chuzhou City?

Old Xiao Tou had countless doubts in his heart, but he could only continue to press himself and lie on the ground, not daring to raise his head to look around, nor daring to get up.

He only felt that the sound of horses' hooves on the avenue behind him seemed to have no end, and there were huge forces of cavalry passing behind him.

Old Xiao Tou felt a burst of despair in his heart, he didn't know where his despair came from, maybe it was just an instinct of his own, and even he felt a little funny.

This desperation is:

Damn, King Fu's coffin is still blocked at the gate of the city!

At this time, I am still worried about this, is this something you should care about!

I don't know how long I have been lying on the ground and eating sand, so long that Lao Xiaotou is a little dazed and dizzy.

He didn't even notice the sound of horses' hooves behind him for a long time.

All the way to,

A pair of boots appeared in front of him,

And the boot was still on his shoulder.

Old Xiao wanted to continue pretending to be dead, but he didn't dare to ......

He looked up and saw a young general in black armor standing in front of him, and behind him, a giant man in iron struck, and a man in armor with his eyes closed.

"Hey, get up."

Zheng Fan opened his mouth and urged.

Old Xiao Tou immediately got up, and Xiao Mazi also got up,

The master and apprentice were just about to stand up,

At the same time, his feet were soft, and he fell to the ground with a pop.

This scene looks funny and funny.

Zheng Fan smiled,

It's just that Zheng Fan is not smiling at the two in front of him,

But the Chuzhou City in front of him, which is many times larger than Mianzhou City, the capital of Chujun County in Qianguo, actually rushed into the door directly like the first time he hit Mianzhou City!

The only difference is that because there were too few soldiers and horses in Mianzhou City last time, he only had time to cut off some of the heads and left immediately.

And this time, although half of the soldiers and horses in Li Fusheng's town were left in Beifeng County, plus the cavalry of his own Cuiliu Fort, there were nearly 30,000 horsemen in total!

30,000 iron horsemen pressed the formation, and entered the city directly, and this city could no longer make any waves.

yes

Zheng Fan appeared under the city of Chuzhou,

The Great Yan Iron Cavalry ignored the trilateral towns of Qianguo, ignored the terrifying military defense line built by the Western Army, and ignored the third line of defense of Qianguo.

All the way south, south, and south,

Now, it has jumped over the three lines of defense arranged by the 700,000-strong army of Qianguo, and has passed through the three northern counties of Qianguo, and has come to the hinterland of Chujun, which is adjacent to the three counties.

It took a lot of time, in fact, a lot, although along the way, there were basically no battles, purely just on the road.

Perhaps later generations of people could not empathize with the speed and distance of the cavalry, and always felt that the cavalry could gallop very fast.

In fact, the cavalry marching 100 kilometers in a day and night is already considered a very intense march, and if it weren't for the fact that most of the cavalry of the Yan Kingdom were equipped with two horses, it would be difficult to even reach this speed.

If the cavalry troops run like that and march like that, it is estimated that before the war starts, most of the war horses will have to be abolished, and the Dayan Iron Cavalry will become the Dayan infantry.

As for the kind of general who often appears in the script to lead the army to travel 800 miles a day, it is not impossible, of course, the premise is that the cavalry is not riding a horse, but a high-blooded beast under the crotch of Hou Jingnan of Zhenbei.

When they were about to reach the boundary of Chujun, the Yan army began to divide their troops, fan-shaped, like a hungry tiger pounced on food, and pounced on all parts of Chujun.

Li Fusheng's troops and horses marched directly to the hinterland of Chujun County and picked up this big advantage.

"Blind, you say, will the soldiers and horses on the border of Qianguo come back to help?" Zheng Fan asked.

At the beginning, the first generation of Zhenbei Hou could break 500,000 with 30,000 iron horses, but that was a special case, whether it was Xu Fat's comparison with the original Zhenbei Hou or the tens of thousands of miscellaneous troops compared to the 30,000 Yan army hundreds of years ago, it was not comparable.

Therefore, once the cadres are ruthless, they don't want the soldiers and horses of the three lines of defense to move together, just dispatch the trilateral soldiers and horses of Wei Town, Liang Zhen and Chen Zhen or the Western Army to push away Xu Fatpang and their miscellaneous troops, and go straight to Yan State, and even the soldiers are not difficult to point directly at Yan Kyoto.

The blind man spoke:

"Lord, it's not a question of whether it will be, it's a question of sure." The blind man smiled, "To be honest, this kind of family change style was really unexpected, but now when it is an afterthought, I think it is very reasonable."

The emperors on both sides are different, the generals on both sides are not the same, the two marquis dare to leave Yanjing His Majesty Yan Huang doesn't care, Yan Huang must have known the strategic arrangement in advance, but he also dared to put his capital in such a situation at the same time.

But the emperor of Qianguo, the court of Qianguo, the hundred officials of Qianguo, and the army of Qianguo, which has been suppressed and tamed by civilian officials for so many years, do not dare to really bet on who will change their families faster, they will definitely come back to help, and they must return to help. ”

Zheng Fan closed his eyes,

I began to recall the way to the south, and most of them were plains, most of which were actually extremely open plains.

The frontier army of Qianguo will leave its fortified city, leave its stable military fortress, and rush back to help, and then, waiting for them, will be......

"Blind, I found that there is no way, it turns out that the way to break the situation that we think about day and night is so simple."

The blind man Bei sighed with emotion: "Lord, we are still not high enough now." ”

"yes, it's not high enough."

Zheng Fan shook his head and looked in the direction of the city, the sound of fighting inside had gradually faded.

In fact, when the iron cavalry successfully stormed the gate, the remaining resistance of this city was really just a formality;

Moreover, this form seems to go well, and it is not too careful.

At this moment, Lao Xiaotou and Xiao Mazi had already stood firm, looking at Zheng Fan and the others tremblingly, looking at these ............ Swallow dog.

Zheng Fan pointed to the suona in the hands of the master and apprentice,

Road:

"Blow a song and listen to it."

"Hey, yes, yes! Being able to blow suona for nobles is a blessing that villains and villains have cultivated for eight lifetimes. ”

As he spoke, Lao Xiao slapped his head on the head of Xiao Mazi, who was still in a stunned state.

The master and apprentice puffed up their cheeks and began to blow.

At the beginning it was a joyful and lively tone,

But after blowing for a while, the faces of both the master and apprentice were stained with tears, not that they were worried about the future of the country, but purely because they were afraid of the true feelings.

The suona song naturally began to become desolate.

Zheng Fan didn't get angry at all, but said to the blind man beside him:

"This song is a bit interesting, but it blows out the two effects of suona."

Blind North nodded.

Fan Li didn't understand and continued to stand there.

Zheng Fan took a deep breath and slowly spit it out.

"Poof! Poof! ”

Old Xiao didn't dare to blow anymore, so he immediately knelt down, kowtowed, and said:

"The nobleman spares his life, the nobleman spares his life, I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it."

When Xiao Mazi saw that his master was kneeling, he immediately knelt down and began to cry.

The nobles naturally wanted to listen to the festivities, but the master and apprentice actually played a funeral song at the same time.

It's over, it's over, it's going to die, it's going to die......

"Get up, it's really good, I'm satisfied."

Zheng Fan said,

And he looked at the sun, which was nearly dusk,

Sighed:

"I didn't know the meaning of suona at first time, but I was already in the coffin when I heard it again."

Zheng Fan is very satisfied with this artistic conception and tone,

But

Liang Cheng, who rode a horse from afar, directly broke all of Zheng Fan's artistic conception with one sentence:

"Lord, Li Fusheng wants to slaughter the city!"

"it!"

Sleep, good night everyone.
