In Chuzhou City tonight, some people are calculating, some are hesitating, some are struggling, and some are melancholy;

There is a former waiter of the Ministry of Labor of Zhishi, who obviously did not raid his house to his house, but led his family to hang himself together;

There was a garrison officer of Chuzhou City, who became the most powerful soldier in Chuzhou City under the Yan people, and was busy leading his more than 2,000 subordinates to start raiding homes one by one.

There is a respected old man, agreed to the request of the Yan people, and made the first seat of the new civil official in Chuzhou City, he sat in his own courtyard, and drank the peach blossom brew all night alone in the cold wind.

Someone held a wine jug in one hand and a sword in the other, walked to the street in the middle of the night, scolded the Yan people, bluntly said not to be arrogant, and when the king came, he would call Er and wait for the head of the captive to cut off, and before he could vent his heroism in his heart, he was shot by an arrow by the Zhenbei army who patrolled the street to enforce the curfew.

His corpse was tied to a horse by a hot-blooded captain of the Zhenbei Military Academy and dragged down the street, and his flesh and blood were blurred.

Someone is trying to fish in troubled waters, and the small gangs in the city plan to take advantage of this chaotic opportunity to make a profit, and stretch out their hands to the big households that they would never dare to touch on weekdays.

The faces of all beings, the ecology of all beings, and the faces of all beings, are different, and each has its own personality;

But no matter what, the vast majority of them are still waiting silently in panic, and all the people in the home who worship the gods, whether it is sculptures or portraits, are much richer than in the past.

If there are gods in the sky, you may be surprised to think that Chuzhou City has actually celebrated the New Year ahead of schedule this year.

All the laws in the world are mutual;

There is black and there is white, there is light and there is dark, and there is red and there is black.

As soon as the story is played, the scenes are obviously in the dark night, but they are very bright.

It's just that for the non-commissioned officers of Zhenbei, who don't need to go out to patrol the city or don't need to be sent out to do sentry horses, they all enter the dream after a full meal early.

After several days of galloping, they were already tired, and it was time to rest.

The occasional screams and cries in the city were just a little spice in their sleep.

On blood, on cruelty, on the desert, all kinds of things are much more thorough than these.

At the moment, it's really just a drizzle.

Maybe, in their opinion, these Qianguo people are really a bit hypocritical, and they have to make extra voices and emotions when they have a doomed ending.

Why?

It's a very unbalanced balance of power.

And after the knights of the Zhenbei Army successfully rushed into the city gate, they could no longer change.

But the curtain of war has just begun......

……

"The military discipline of the Zhenbei Army is indeed okay." Zheng Fan said.

"Lord, this is because the war is going well, and the army has not really seen blood yet."

Zheng Fan nodded, he agreed with the blind man's opinion, once the army group completely saw blood, the damage it could cause would be extremely terrifying, and at that time, even if the Lord wanted to stop it, he couldn't stop it.

Moreover, the chief soldier of this town is still Li Fusheng, a madman.

That madman is already extremely restrained, and God knows how long he can restrain himself.

"Lord."

Siniang walked over and brought a basin with two hot towels in it.

Zheng Fan and the blind man began to wipe their faces with a towel,

Then

Zheng Fan saw a timid little girl standing next to Siniang, who was about thirteen or fourteen years old.

"Picking up the leak again?" Zheng Fan teased.

Siniang's habit is to collect and cultivate good seedlings when she sees them.

It's just that the first batch of little ladies have not fully grown up, and now they can't play any role.

However, Zheng Fan believes that the secret spy trained by Siniang must be much more reliable than the silver guard, and the few silver guard wives he met have already known their identities in the main family, so don't be too much of a failure.

Of course, with Zheng Fan's current power and status, it is useless to ask for a "red whisk girl".

"I happened to be bumped into by the slave family, come, Xiao Rui, kowtow to the master."

The girl who was called Xiao Rui knelt down, kowtowed to Zheng Fan very seriously, and said softly:

"I've seen the master."

Although he was afraid, he was not very timid, and, looking at his kowtowing posture, it was obvious that the tutor was very good.

This is not a joke, etiquette is such a thing, ordinary Qianshou will not be too particular, it is the chapter of kowtowing, in fact, it is just like that, whether it is when worshipping ancestors or facing the eldest master, that is, kneeling down to deal with it.

"Who's from it?"

"My family used to be a waiter in Beijing, and that old waiter committed suicide with his family."

"Hoo ......"

Zheng Fan breathed a long sigh of relief.

"When the slave family passed, several men in that family were forcing their female dependents to commit suicide, this little girl didn't want to die, ran in the yard, and was chased by her grandfather and stabbed with a sword, but fortunately I hit it in time and saved it."

Saying that, Siniang pointed to Xiao Rui's back, where the clothes were torn, there should be a gap, but it was dealt with by Siniang.

"It's a pity, even if you use beauty needles to make up for it, it's hard to erase her scars." Siniang said regretfully.

"There will be a way later." The blind man said.

The current demon kings are not capable of doing this, but in the future, when everyone's strength recovers a little more, it is not a simple matter to erase a scar?

"Tell me, if you want to kill yourself, you will kill yourself, and you still want to pull the whole family together, and the family from the old man to the men below are like crazy." Siniang said.

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die............"

Xiao Rui seemed to recall some terrible picture and began to panic.

"Good, it's okay, it's okay now." Siniang said soothingly.

"The whole family committed suicide, so that they could complete their own Qingming, and they couldn't say that they could still leave a legacy in history." The blind man said.

"Well, it's hard to say right or wrong."

Zheng Fan didn't bother to spend any more time on these things, and said:

"Rest when it's time to rest, and do things that should go on doing things."

………

This night, Zheng Fan didn't sleep very well.

Xu is because Siniang didn't sleep with her tonight,

So Zheng Fan had a dream,

I dreamed that I was sitting behind the beaded curtain, and on my lap was the princess with the golden phoenix crown, and the princess was extremely charming;

At the same time, outside the bead curtain, there is a large hall, and the place between the curtains is the dragon chair, where the prince of Fu Wang sits on the dragon chair wearing a dragon robe, and listens to the movement behind the curtain while accepting the kneeling of the officials, and the mountain shouts long live.

"Knock knock! Knock knock! Knock knock! ”

A rapid sound of horses' hooves woke up Zheng Fan's sweet dream.

After opening his eyes, Zheng Fan actually had some aftertaste, and at the same time smiled, laughing at himself:

"He's a pervert."

At this moment, Liang Cheng lifted the tent curtain and leaned in, and reported:

"Lord, a cadre army has been found forty miles southwest of the city."

"Dry army? Southwest? ”

If it came from the southwest, it would certainly not be the Qianguo border army that came to the rescue.

In fact, according to the speed of the Yan army's attack along the way, even if the Qianguo border army chose to return to help without hesitation at the beginning, it would not be possible to chase after it today.

You must know that Yan Guo is all cavalry.

"How many enemy troops are there?"

"I don't know the specifics, but it should be more than 20,000."

Zheng Fan immediately got up and put on his armor, and then walked out with Liang Cheng.

On the streets, the knights of the Zhenbei Army were rapidly mobilizing, and sentry horses kept coming in from outside the city, shouting loudly about the enemy's situation.

Cavalry was constantly being moved out of the city, ready to meet the enemy.

Zheng Fan frowned slightly and said:

"What is this doing?"

Chuzhou is a newly occupied place, although under the coercion of the knife and various temptations, last night, a "puppet army" yamen was set up.

But the whole city is still in a state of panic.

At this time, the news of the appearance of the cadres and troops was so arrogantly transmitted, wouldn't it make the hearts of the people and powerful people in the city move?

You must know that any group, at any time, the silent majority is the main force, and at this time, you can't give them hope.

Zheng Fan's eyes narrowed,

At this moment,

A knight rode over, came to Zheng Fan, and said:

"Zheng Shoubei, summoned by the chief soldier."

Zheng Fan arched his hand to him:

"Order."

Zheng Fan turned over and rode over to Li Fusheng's location with Liang Cheng.

Li Fusheng lived in a private house last night, and did not choose a rich and expensive mansion, because according to the original plan, he would set off again in two days anyway, and he could just find a nest to sleep in.

I have to say that these high-level generals of the Zhenbei Army are actually not very strong in terms of personal enjoyment.

Zheng Fan rode his horse through the streets, and there were sentry cavalry and cavalry teams passing by him, and the Yan army in the city and the Yan army camp outside the city had already begun to operate.

Agitated together, there are also the hearts of the people in Chuzhou City.

Inside the wall, I don't know how many heads are poking out at this time, and they are secretly looking at the situation outside, and Zheng Fan's heart is itchy, so he wants to open his bow and practice headshot archery.

…………

The most majestic and at the same time the most majestic building of Chuzhou City is a symbol of the center of power, which is the Taishou Mansion, but the Qianguo does not set up the Taishou, but the temperance envoy.

It's just that when the Yan army broke through the city yesterday, the envoy of Chujun Jiedu was not in Chujun, but in Antian City, eighty miles south of Chuzhou City, urging the transfer of grain and grass.

So, the big fish didn't get caught.

But at this time, in the Taishou Mansion, a gray-haired old man was sitting on the seat of the signing room, his face was full of deep exhaustion after a hangover.

Last night, he drank wine all night, the wine is peach blossom wine, Wuchuan is rich in fine wine, and the best wine is even more expensive.

It's just that last night, I was reluctant to drink too much wine on weekdays, but the more I drank, the more tasteless it became.

Yesterday, the Yan people broke into his house and put the knife on the necks of his whole clan.

This old man,

Gave in was chosen.

He agreed to the request of the Yan people and became the new envoy of Chuzhou City, and then, the Yan people began to stuff him with officials, stuffed a lot, and he also found some himself, and in one day, he finally built this grass platform team.

It's just that this is just a papier-mâché shelf, and now at the moment, although everyone is in the government, no one is really working, and everyone actually doesn't have the heart to work.

However, early in the morning, everyone came to the government to "work", and the laziness and procrastination on weekdays disappeared at all.

However, after sitting in his position, he whispered in his ear that it was nothing more than who was exterminated last night, and who was named and promoted.

The swallow people came too fast,

The Yan people's knives are too fast,

This group of officials who have just "surrendered",

Some have not been able to adapt to their own identity.

Fortunately, their current nominal "festival envoys" seem to have the same emotions as them.

One morning, everyone was just sitting like this, and the Lord did not pass down any decrees, and one by one they became living clay fetuses.

A servant who looked like a housekeeper walked into the mansion, came to the important place of the signing room, walked to his master's side, and leaned into his ear to say something.

forthwith

The old man's cloudy eyes revealed a touch of hope and excitement.

With trembling hands, he grabbed the official hat from his head and placed it on the table.

Wang Shi, Wang Shi is back!

The old man was very excited.

But soon,

His hands trembled again,

He began to get afraid,

Because although he was forced, he wore this official hat.

He knows that this hat, even if he only wears it for one day, no, as long as he wears it, he will not be able to take it off for the rest of his life.

Last night, he had been suffering from his inner torment.

It was the grand wish made by reading the sages when he was a teenager, it was the glory of the Donghuamen roll call of the title of the gold list, and it was the freedom and freedom when he returned to his hometown with a wave of his sleeves;

His ambition has never been big, and his official has not been very big, but in this life, it can be regarded as smooth sailing, although there are waves, but it is generally smooth.

Who would have expected that when the old man was buried in the ground, he was so bad.

Especially after hearing that old friend committed suicide with his family, the torment in his heart began to become more and more intense.

Myself

Did you choose the wrong one?

Wang Shi is going to fight back, and he is going to expel the Yan people, and he is happy.

Over here

It is the territory of Qianguo, how can Yan be allowed to spread wild!

Over here

It is a place of etiquette for the king, how can Yan be allowed to be ruined?

however

If the king fights back,

Myself

And what will be?

Although the housekeeper next to him is only in his early forties, he has inherited his father's position and has been staying in this family, and when he saw his master so haggard and sad, he also sighed silently in his heart.

"Go, invite all the adults in the front hall."

"Yes, sir."

Soon, more than a dozen adults from the front hall came.

The front hall of the government has always been the office of the high-ranking officials of the following counties.

Some of them were promoted last night, and some of them were originally sitting in this position.

At this time, they were called in together, their expressions different.

There is contempt on his face,

There are those who have the helplessness of sympathy,

There are those who are silently numb,

In the signing room, after a short silence,

The adults saluted the old man sitting behind the table:

See also...... My lord. ”

The old man had a wry smile on his face,

Reached

Gently patted his face,

He didn't rush to speak, but continued to slap his face,

And it began to shoot, getting heavier and heavier.

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! ”

"Master, master!"

The butler hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

The left side of the old man's face was already red, but because there was not much flesh on his face, it couldn't swell.

The people below were a little at a loss for a while.

The old man picked up the tea that had been cold for a long time on the table, took a sip, mixed it with blood foam, and swallowed it.

Opening:

"I think you already know, the city is very chaotic now, and the Yan people are also in chaos, Wang Shi, it is said that it is not far outside the city."

This news has been known to everyone since the morning, and the servants of the house will continue to send new news.

"The Yan people entered the city, but we were still sitting in the yamen, hehe, what is this called."

When the old man said this, the faces of everyone present changed and became extremely ugly.

"However, the old man understands that your lords are different from me, and I, ah, am a ghost and want to seek a high-ranking position, so I got on the thief ship of the Yan people.

And your lords, it is to preserve the useful body, and you are different from the old man. ”

Below, some people are surprised, some people are puzzled, and some people are at a loss, but how can they be stupid people who are mixed in officialdom?

So soon, everyone understood the meaning of the old man's words.

"Ahem, cough, ............"

The old man coughed continuously,

Shaoqing,

He wiped the corners of his mouth with the cuffs of his official robe,

Continued:

"It's the old man, coercing Er to sit in the government today, all the sins are on the old man, and when the king recovers Chuzhou, the old man will give himself to the court and take all the things.

But please wait, take care of the old man's family a little in the future, the old man is here, thank you. ”

The old man stood up from his chair and bowed to the people below.

The adults below knelt down together,

In unison:

"Adult ......"

Everyone couldn't cry anymore.

"Go down, and know what you should do, what you should do, and what you should prepare."

The people took their promise to leave.

The old man sat back in his chair, and his whole body seemed to have been drained of most of his energy.

The housekeeper was a little distressed and said:

"Master, you, why are you bothering?"

But the old man smiled,

Road:

"If you don't say that when the old man doesn't say that, won't they put the basin on the old man's head?"

"This ......" housekeeper.

"After receiving the news of Wang Shi's appearance, they should have been in tandem, and since the old man has taken this position, he has to bear the consequences.

Instead of letting them push me out, it would be better for the old man to go out on his own.

In this way, you can still leave some affection, and in the future, the family can be taken care of a little. ”

"Master, you're too difficult."

The housekeeper knew that if it wasn't for the sake of saving the life of the family, it would be absolutely impossible for his master to be coerced by the Yan people.

The old man reached out and picked up the teacup again.

"Master, the tea is cold, I'll make you another cup."

The old man nodded.

The butler walked out of the signing room with a teacup.

The old man looked at the empty room, and his heart suddenly twitched, and there was a look of horror in his eyes.

Because just now,

I actually had an idea in my heart,

The thought startled him,

That is:

It would be nice if Wang Shi was repelled by the Yan people.

…………

There was news in King Fu's mansion that the princess fell ill due to fright and had been recuperating in her room.

At this time, His Royal Highness the Prince and the Princess sat face to face for lunch.

Today's princess has changed into plain clothes, yesterday was special, but in fact, he is still in the stage of filial piety for her deceased husband.

"Eat quickly, and you will have to take your subordinates out to bury your father later."

"Mother, ......... outside"

His Royal Highness the Prince of the World had an extremely clear look of panic on his face.

"What's going on outside, and what does it have to do with you?"

"The army, it's back, mother!"

"If you fight back, you will fight back, and if you fight back, you will be able to take over your father's position and become the new king of blessings."

"No, Mother ......"

"If the army comes back, it means that you, you Zhao Yuannian, don't have that life, and it also means that your mother and I don't have this life, since you don't have this life, then you have to accept your fate.

Eat well. ”

"But, but Aqing is dead."

"If you're dead, you're dead, when your father was here, I told you about her identity, you won't really have feelings for her, right?"

"That's naturally no, it's just, mother, after all, she is the spy of the Silver Armor Guard, and when the army comes back, the Silver Armor Guard will not believe that Ah Qing died of illness."

"This is easy to do, isn't there still a few side rooms left by your father in our house, if the Yan people are really defeated, when our army enters the city, you will kill all your aunts, and put the corpses of your daughter-in-law into them, and say that it is the atrocity of the Yan people."

Your old lady and I will make a little more cloak and spread a little bit of it, so that the official family will not be able to pity our family, after all, your father and the king have something to do on the way to announce the decree for the official family, you, this throne will definitely be kept, and you will get more rewards, and you will not live as tired as your father. ”

"Mother, this ........."

"In case of trouble, you have to make a decision, your father has left, in this world, only our mother and mother can rely on each other, don't expect your grandfather, if your grandfather really took his mother seriously, he would not let his mother marry into this blessed palace."

"Mother, my son knows."

"Well, so, let's eat, I'm going to bury your father in the afternoon, and I can't let your father rest all the time."

"Yes, Princess."

………

The new city guard of Chuzhou City has gathered his subordinates, more than 2,000 people.

When Zheng Fan and Liang Cheng came over, they happened to see them.

"Heh, I'm here to fight." Zheng Fan said.

Last night, the new city guard general led the city guards who he could make noise and control, slaughtered many powerful people, and plundered a lot of goods.

Now, after hearing the news that the "Wang Division" was approaching, he took the initiative to gather the men and horses he could control again, and asked to go into battle with the Yan army.

This is really a very strange thing, when the Yan army entered the city before, the thousands of defenders of Chuzhou City, except for a little resistance at the beginning, quickly dispersed.

But at this time, they had the courage to fight against the cadres.

Their combat effectiveness is naturally not the same, but the courage under the comparison of the two has changed greatly.

First, they knew that they had already committed heinous crimes, and once the Qianjun army recovered Chuzhou City, they would have absolutely no way to live, and even in the entire Daqian, they would have no place to hide.

I was cool last night, and I was also hilarious, and after I woke up at dawn, I immediately began to worry about pulling the list.

"Such soldiers, that is, the courage of gathering for a while, will collapse if they are slightly frustrated." Liang Cheng said.

"Puppet army, how high do you want to be?"

"The Lord says so."

"Huh."

The soldiers of the Zhenbei Army did not stop Zheng Fan, and Zheng Fan was able to walk directly into this small house.

This is just a house that I entered, and as soon as I entered, I saw Li Fusheng's beast lying there lazily.

This beast is naturally inferior to the two Hou Masters in terms of bloodline, but to be honest, it is really many times higher than Xu Chubby's, and this physique and this black scale armor are extremely powerful in appearance.

It would be nice if he could be assigned a Pi beast in the future, and he could also let the demon kings under his command study how to improve its bloodline.

But it's also interesting, Emperor Qianguo likes to give wives to his ministers, and Emperor Yan likes to send mounts.

As soon as Zheng Fan walked into the house, he saw Li Fusheng sitting on the bed, and two personal soldiers were helping him put on his armor.

"Zheng Shoubei, you surprised me, I have seen the list and the collection of goods, grain and grass that you sent in the morning."

Well?

Well!

After Zheng Fan went back, he actually forgot about this stubble and went to sleep directly, but the demon king under his hand was really reliable, and he was sent to Li Fusheng early.

"Master Hou is indeed not wrong, you are indeed different from us Qiu Ba, you are a person who can do things."

"Your Excellency praised it."

"Don't always be so modest, our Zhenbei Army doesn't like this, don't you know that every time they quarrel in the account to grab a vanguard army, they almost scold each other."

"Yes."

"The sentry cavalry came to report, there were cadres outside the city, and the latest news reported, there are still a lot of people, no less than 30,000, hehe."

Zheng Fan found that Li Fusheng's eyes began to reddened again.

This is

It's ruthless.

"I will take 20,000 horsemen to attack, and leave 10,000 in the city to continue to collect grain and suppress the city."

"Adult ............"

"I know what you're going to say, do you think that now that the city is full of storms, the whole city knows that their king is nearby?

Haha, Lao Tzu deliberately asked them to release the news, and deliberately let those sentry riders shout it directly on the street.

I know what the purpose of what Zhao Jiulang and you did yesterday was, but I, as a person, have a stupid brain, I can't think of such a detailed idea, I don't know what to do, and I don't have the patience to do it.

But one thing I know,

The best way to make people collapse is not to beat him to death with a stick, but to give him some hope first;

At last

Crush this hope in front of them! ”

Nail finished,

Li Fusheng stood up,

Shouted:

"Straight lady thief, this Chuzhou City listened to your boy's suggestion at the beginning, although the city was taken down, but it was really tasteless.

Fortunately, I don't know where these 30,000 cadres came from, but it doesn't matter, there is finally a serious battle to fight.

The northern army of our town has been fighting with barbarians in the desert for a hundred years!

Don't the cadres like to say that our Zhenbei Army is just being boasted about?

Good

This time, Lao Tzu will let them take a look,

What is the world's first iron horseman! ”
