Chapter 467: Welcome Home
At this moment, Huzhou, who led the people and wealthy businessmen to the labor army, and by the way, Zhang Yue, the assassin of Huzhou, who was preparing to take over the military power of the state army but was rejected, had just braved the wind and snow and returned to the government with a sigh.
And the captain of the Jianzhou Army, that is, the new Huzhou military captain Zu Yiming, after sending Zhang Yue away, sneered, and suddenly heard the report of the soldiers, but it was the scout sent out to patrol that there was news coming.
Zu Yiming couldn't help but be surprised when he looked at the handbook.
A local scout stumbled upon an army coming out of a hidden mountain pass in Mt. Chilan, and according to the scout, the number was very large, and he asked the lieutenant to prepare as soon as possible.
Zu Yiming ran up to the sentry tower, and looked at the direction of the mountain pass, which was not far from his own camp, once the army rushed out, the military camp would bear the brunt.
He thought about it, got off the guard tower, summoned the generals, and said: "General Fang Cai has checked the surroundings here, and feels that this place is against the mountain pass, and the terrain is not good, so it is better to relocate the camp as soon as possible." Just arrived in Huzhou, and was not familiar with the terrain of this place, so he pulled all the soldiers out for field training, found a suitable camp, and stationed on the spot. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, but the words of the lieutenant were not easy to disobey, and they didn't know what the lieutenant was anxious about.
The new Huzhou army inevitably complained, approaching the New Year's Festival, it is said that the whole army should prepare New Year's goods to have fun, and I heard that Huzhou Thorn Shi has also come several times to invite the army into the city for the New Year, but the result is that the lieutenant not only did not accept the invitation, but also wanted to train in the field at this time!
The crowd was driven out of the camp full of complaints, and with only some dry food and weapons, they went farther away from Huzhou.
Just after the Huzhou army left the camp and gave up guarding the mountain pass, a hidden grass bush in Chilan Mountain moved, and a mountain crack appeared, and the gap became bigger and bigger, and countless ironclad soldiers poured out.
It was dark at night, and on this piece of land in the east hall, two armies were going in opposite directions, and one army was coming horizontally against the wind and snow.
……
At this time, in the northwest corner of Dongtang, the Western Fan Army, which had been looted in Huizhou and had been resupplied, was intercepted by Lin Qing when they were preparing to continue to march inland to Suizhou.
This time, the west poured out of the nest, the emperor personally marched, and the army went out of the city, and was suddenly pierced by the roaring cavalry.
At the first contact, the unprepared Xifan was instantly forced back into the city, and only then did he realize that this time the Dongtang army seemed to be a little different.
The combat power of individual soldiers is naturally excellent, not the same in terms of weapons, the cavalry of the West was originally the first in the world, it was the establishment of the country immediately, everyone was superb in riding, in the past, as long as the cavalry was sent out, it was Lin Qing's soldiers who also fell into a bitter battle, this time they were defeated so quickly, mainly because of the opponent's weapons, and suddenly they were all changed.
Conventional weapons are stronger, more refined, and more lethal than before, and there are many strange small weapons, which are occasionally difficult to prevent, such as long knives that can eject serrated blades, and when they slash, they will fly out and cut the horse's legs, and once the horse's legs are cut out of that kind of jagged wound, they will bleed and lose their combat power, and the knight who loses his horse is like a broken leg.
This time, many people in the Knights of Zephan are planted on these insidious gadgets. So much so that he retreated and withdrew his troops at a speed unprecedented in his life, and his plan to immediately move south was blocked.
The Xifan side was quiet all night, and the next day he escorted countless Huizhou people to the city, shouted to the besieging army, and ridiculed Lin Qing for being called a god general, and was worshiped by the people like a god, but he couldn't protect the territory and couldn't bless the people of Li. It is better to commit suicide earlier to thank the elders of Huizhou, limit yourself to a stick of incense, and push a few people down the city every time you count a dozen, and when the time comes, you will throw all these people down the city.
This hand is really vicious, there are still many Huizhou people in Lin Qing's army, seeing the people crying and shouting in the city, the women are naked, the blood is everywhere, and the sorrowful wails are wailing, and countless soldiers are stimulated to the red.
Lin Qing stood under the big flag, shook the horsewhip, whistled, and said with a smile: "Sons, shameless!" ”
Yan Sui was lightly clothed by his side, glanced at the city, and made a move.
The crowd parted, and a huge prisoner cart appeared, and in the prisoner cart was a woman dressed in the brocade clothes of a Western nobleman.
Princess Zephani.
Although Yan Sui's voice was faint, it resounded through the battlefield.
"Na Muzhu, the daughter of the king of Zephani, despises her brother's tyranny and atrocities, and is willing to atone for her sins by serving my Dongtang sergeant. From now on, every time the head of Huizhou City pushes a common person down the city, the princess will atone for the sins of the royal family of Xifan; In a stick of incense, the West does not retreat, and the princess will give a secret of the Western royal family every ten to serve as a meal for the soldiers and civilians of the West and the East Hall to accompany the meal after dinner. ”
Namuzhu raised her head cooperatively, so that her brother at the head of the city could see his face clearly.
If you fail, you will admit it, even if you have to face this great humiliation today.
Yan Sui promised her that if she cooperated well, she would have the opportunity to send her back to Xifan, and she would lend her appropriate strength.
For the sake of the future, in order to be able to live, she can endure anything.
There was a commotion in the city.
The young emperor of Zephan turned pale.
The dozen had passed, and no people had been pushed out of the city.
The people of Xifan already know who the people around Lin Qing are, and King Dongtang Yi is a figure who has long been known for a long time even in the West, after all, a person who can contain the family for ten years and kill Lao Tzu must be a ruthless person in everyone's minds.
Xifan has been fighting with Lin Qing for many years, and he knows that he can't do this kind of public insult to his own princess, but this prince may not be, after all, the royal family is so perverted.
The defense of men and women in the West is not as particular as that of the East Hall, but this kind of thing is also embarrassing after all, especially if the princess is still the emperor's sister, if she is insulted, the face of the Western Fan royal family will always be rubbed by the soles of people's feet, and the military spirit that has finally been cheered up is also scattered. Once those arrogant generals begin to despise the royal family from the bottom of their hearts, it is difficult to predict what will happen.
Not to mention that any royal family has no secrets, and the rule of the Yelu family will be stormy.
There was already a long queue in front of the prisoner van below.
Yan Sui never minded making the scene more realistic.
He even ordered someone to block a thin veil in front of the prisoner's car, claiming: "I want to save some face for the Yelu family." ”
But it's better not to keep this face.
After a stalemate, the people at the head of the city were silently driven down.
Yan Sui wasn't done yet, and said lightly: "What are you going to do back?" From now on, every few dozen breaths, one person will be put down, and if he doesn't let go, His Royal Highness Muzhu will start the tea party. ”
Emperor Zephani: "......"
In the middle of the day, the city shouted angrily: "Don't go too far! ”
Yan Sui didn't seem to hear it, with a fish-lip human expression: "This king is here to relieve your worries." What are you doing with these people? Divide your food? Or do you want to stay and open the door for us? ”
The faces of the nobles of the city were all tense, and they were struck by these words.
The hundreds of thousands of troops in the city, burning, killing and looting, enjoying it temporarily, but now seeing that the Dongtang army is all over the mountains and fields, and there are many troops, if they keep surrounding them like this, soon the city will begin to lack food.
When the time comes, the people of this city will also have a portion of their food.
If food is not given, it is also troublesome for hungry people to make trouble.
After a while, someone in the city said coldly: "These untouchables, still want to get a share of the grain? Keep it, maybe you can make our food! ”
The people in the city laughed, praising the fact that human flesh was actually delicious, and keeping it was also a reserve of food.
The soldiers of the East Hall under the city were stunned and scolded the beasts.
Yan Sui still didn't care about it, and said, "Really? It ended a little badly. As he spoke, he waved his hand, and someone carried a large bucket, which was black and watery, exuding a fishy smell, and as soon as Yan Sui raised his hand, the bucket of water was like an angry dragon and a black arrow. Jumping up to the city, there was a great chaos in the city, people fled one after another, a few soldiers could not dodge and were splashed by the water, so they broke out into a scream, and in a blink of an eye, the flesh and feces on his face fell off in pieces, and the Emperor of Xifan, who was surrounded by the crowd, retreated again.
Yan Sui's voice came from afar: "I want to teach you to know that my princess is good at all kinds of strange poisons, and she specially allocated countless poisonous water to the army. Would you all like to try it? ”
The city was quiet again.
Everyone is a person of a hundred battles, and when they see this poisonous water with their own eyes, they all know that if there is really a lot of this thing, there is no need to dye arrows, as long as it is thrown into the water source of the city, the whole city will be finished.
The moat can't be blocked, and everyone can't go without water.
It was not put out because it took care of the remnants of the people in the city.
Someone immediately said: "This is even more impossible to release the people!" Let them go, and they can really poison them! ”
Yan Sui waved his hand, and someone brought dozens of jars of such poisonous water.
"A stick of incense. If you don't send people down to the city, I will order people to pour all this water into the moat, and the moat is connected with the water source in the city. Yan Sui lit a stick of incense with his own hands, his eyes were waveless in the cigarette, and he actually bowed to the city, "Sad." ”
And in the prisoner car, Na Muzhu, who was forced by the sword, also spoke after Yan Sui counted to ten: "It is said that Tiansui Emperor Yelu Chang has a concubine ......"
Emperor Xifan at the head of the city frowned, and suddenly said, "Release people." Let the old and weak women and children go first! ”
Although it is dangerous to be strong, if necessary, it can be recruited by force to serve as a people's husband, and if it is sent out, will it increase the strength of the Dongtang army? Naturally, it is to send the elderly, children and women who can only eat and can't do it.
The basket was put down on the head of the city and began to transport the people of Huizhou.
Yan Sui frowned slightly, if it was before, he would not have wasted time negotiating with Xifan here, and quietly poisoned it together, anyway, it is estimated that the people of Huizhou will not survive now.
But when I think of the little cake, I know I can't do it.
Bento to accumulate virtue for her.
After releasing a few people, Zephan shouted at the head of the city: "God General! Yiwang! Let go of the princess! Don't bluff either, you don't have time to besiege the city, you're about to start a fire in your backyard! ”
Lin Qing's smile was a little cold, and Yan Sui didn't speak.
There really wasn't time to besiege the city.
Even here is not the whole army, the two of them are trying to stumble on Xifan, try to save a little people, and Yan Sui has other plans.
In order to paralyze the other party, they did not besiege the city at this moment, so they got a letter that there was an army in Xifan, opened the northwest city gate, and quietly went out of the city through that gap.
And earlier, before Lin Qing Yansui came back, Xifan also had an army of 100,000 disappeared into the land of Dongtang.
Therefore, the Dongtang army seemed to be surrounding Huizhou, and Lin Qing and Yan Sui were all there, but in fact, Qiu Tong, who had not recovered from serious injuries, also left Qingzhou with an army of 100,000 after Lin Qing took back military power.
Lin Qing is good at inducing the enemy's dynamics and using his weapons to make a haunt. He calculated that Xifan might divide his troops into three routes after going down to Huizhou, all the way to contain the Qingzhou camp, all the way to Hengzhou, and all the way to Chizhou.
Therefore, Qiu Tong went to Chizhou, and his army had Wen Zhen's three thousand elites, who would be lightly armed and simple, and attack and intercept the Xifan army from the middle of Chizhou, creating momentum, causing the Xifan army to think that there was an ambush in front of him, turning around the mountain, and then entering a valley drawn by Lin Qing, where it is easy to enter and difficult to get out, like a cloth bag, after driving people in, a small number of people can hold the mountain pass, and the rest is to cover their heads and beat them.
And Chinese and Wen Jintan and others, also with 70,000 troops, waited in the mountains northwest of Huizhou, to sneak attack the Xifan army that secretly went out of the city.
The dispersion of troops is very dangerous, and it must be based on the strong vision and judgment of the coach, Yan Sui thinks that he is not as experienced as Lin Qing in this regard, and does not interfere.
Suddenly, another man appeared at the head of the city, and someone shouted for a prisoner exchange.
The man stood on the head of the city, his expression was a little empty, a little dazed.
Lin Qing and Yansui were very surprised.
It turned out to be Sikong Yu.
After staying in the mountain for a while, he disappeared, Yan Sui heard Wen Zhen say about him, combined with some information he got before, it can be determined that this person with a complicated background is not a person from the Sikong family.
Yan Sui even investigated Sikong Yu's whereabouts in the past few years because of some doubts, and then found a very interesting thing.
This son of the Sikong family, the first capable person of the Tianji Mansion, turned out to be a member of the Xifan Yelu family, who was trained and sent to the Sikong family since he was a child, and Li Dai Taozhuang.
If nothing else, he should have been able to master the Tianji Mansion, gain the emperor's favor, and finally become the head of the Sikong family and the court boss.
At that time, the east hall will be open in front of the west.
His real eldest brother, Yelu Jingnan of the Yelu family in Xifan, spent more than ten years laying this detailed plan, and his inner ambition was not grandiose, but his luck was not good enough, and later Sikong Yu met the handsome Nanqi woman Tai Shiyan.
Love is deeply rooted and cannot be extricated.
But the pain between the family and the woman he loved can be imagined, and Yelu Jingnan finally called him back to the family in order to control him, and did not hesitate to create an illusion for decades, and did not hesitate to control his sanity.
Liushan was his move to control his younger brother once again to get a piece of the pie from Dongtang, and then he was broken by Wen Zhen Yansui again.
Yelu Jingnan is a character, but unfortunately his luck is too bad, he died not long ago at the hands of the Nanqi handsome, and the entire Yelu family was sunk by Taishi.
Emperor Xifan was also staring at Sikong Yu's back.
This man is a member of the house of Jerod. During the last battle against Nanqi, Yelu Jingnan sent this person to the palace, explained his identity, and showed that this person was of great use, and he was willing to exchange this person for His Majesty's grace.
But this person is often confused, sober and confused, and he doesn't seem to be of great use, and he inquired privately and learned that this person's identity has been in Yelu's family for a few years, but he is not very easy to control, and he often escapes, and he does not want to be used by Yelu Jingnan, and he has fought back several times.
Such a person, he naturally does not dare to use, just think about keeping or have a use, so he makes daily offerings, that person occasionally understands, occasionally empty, not like a fool, but there seems to be no nostalgia for this world, no one abuses him and asks him, so he does not leave, he eats and eats, and sleeps and sleeps, except for occasionally muttering a few words that others do not understand, the rest of the time he is a very peaceful person.
This expedition was also carried because of his identity, and he was pushed to the city at this moment, but he had to do it as a last resort, he couldn't take the people as a threat, and he had to delay the time to drag Lin Qing so that the army could quietly go out of the city and attack Chizhou, and he was the only one who could exchange it.
Under the city, Yan Sui's eyes flashed, and then he smiled, "What, take one of your high-level fine works in exchange for your princess?" Is there such a deal in the world? ”
Emperor Xifan was stunned, he didn't expect him to know about it, but he immediately said: "The son of the Sikong family is my Xifan's fine work, such a big event, such a person certificate, you got it, and breaking down the Sikong family, in front of your emperor, isn't it also a great achievement?" ”
Yan Sui's eyes were full of disdain, "Your suggestion is like saying to a lion, I will give you a mouse that can help you find a rabbit's nest." ”
Emperor Zephani: "......"
Since ancient times, there has never been such a comical metaphor.
Negotiations could not proceed in this way.
Yan Sui suddenly said again: "Sikong Yu, do you remember the big-eyed girl you met in Liushan?" ”
The head of the city, Kong Yu, blinked his eyes and raised his head in confusion.
"Remember what she said to you?"
Sikong Yu blinked again, and the light in his eyes flashed.
At the beginning, Wen Zhen found out that he was mentally charged, stared into his eyes and said to him.
"Whoever tries to control you, you kill him."
"Whoever wants to hurt you, you kill him."
"Whoever asks you to kill someone you don't want to kill, you kill him."
Sikong Yu remembered the simple and simple three sentences very clearly, so in the next few years, Yelu Jingnan found that he could no longer control him smoothly, and as long as he tried to manipulate him to kill people, he would be counterattacked.
So before the last battle, he didn't dare to take Sikong Yu with him, but he put this invisible bomb on the emperor's side.
Chengxia Yan Sui continued: "That big-eyed little girl, she is the best friend of the woman who will restore and destroy, they come from the same place and grew up in the same room, one is called the other man's wife, and the other is called the other party's little cake. ”
Sikong Yu's eyes flashed.
He turned his back to the Xifanren, his back was motionless, the Xifanren couldn't see his changes, but Yan Sui could clearly see that the fog under his eyes was suddenly broken, and the stars were all over the sky.
"Little Cake's best friend seems to be looking for someone lately." Yan Sui said.
Sikong Yu trembled slightly.
"For her confidant, she slaughtered the family that harmed him, and the 200,000 army sank into the river, not hesitating to bear the name of a butcher," Yan Sui had no regrets and only shook her head in admiration, "Tsk, ruthless enough." ”
Sikong Yu's eyes swelled, turning into the climax of a huge wave that could drown himself.
"It's not in vain to have this confidant in life." Yan Sui purely seemed to sigh, "It's just difficult, it's difficult!" ”
His last sentence suddenly raised his voice, and his pitch changed slightly, and it suddenly poured into the ears of everyone in the city like the roar of a beast, and Yu Sikong Yu heard a "Lang"!
Like a giant pestle smashing through the last layer of obstacle.
He looked up, and the next moment, he was gone.
The head of the city exclaimed.
In the next moment, he appeared behind Emperor Xifan and kicked a golden melon with a fierce kick.
Nalux was caught off guard, screamed, and pounced forward, and the heavy golden gourd in his hand was pounding the emperor's back.
Emperor Zephan threw himself forward and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Sikong Yu flashed again and disappeared into the city.
In the next moment, he appeared ghostly in front of Yan Suima.
On that side, Lin Qing had already seized the opportunity of the chaos in the city and shouted: "Emperor Xifan was assassinated, attack the city!" ”
The army rushed forward like a tide, Sikong Yu did not move, he raised his head slightly, stared at Yan Sui, and asked, "Is she okay?" ”
Yan Sui also stared at him, for a while, smiled lightly, and stretched out his hand: "Welcome home." ”
……
In the deep palace at midnight, a heavy cornices are like countless ships silent in the sea of black clouds.
King Yong was draped in a big hat, and his bright yellow satin boots left faint marks on the thin snow.
He looked up in the direction of the Shang Palace, the crimson palace door was closed, and there was a faint smell of sandalwood, as before.
In the past few days, when he is upset, he will always unconsciously come to the Xiang Palace and Ciren Palace to go around, and sometimes he has already walked to the door, but in the end he still did not push the door open.
I don't want to see it, I don't want to see it. Every eye is a torn wound, and every concern is a betrayal.
is like Yunshen, and finally forgot about each other in the rivers and lakes.
King Yong lowered his eyes.
promised to explain to Yun Shen, but this is his mother after all.
The only thing that can be done is eternal alienation.
Tomorrow he will ascend the throne, and he will do what he wants to do in this life, and he will do what he can finally do, but he has completely lost his happiness.
I have thought about this day many times, and I have thought many times that I have to have a lot of things to say to the queen mother at this time, but when it comes to this day, I have no mood and opportunity to say it.
The thin snow on the green brick ground was broken, and the sandalwood in the Shang Palace was too heavy to even bloom plum blossoms.
King Yong finally turned and left.
Behind him, in the main hall of Ciren Palace, the daffodils bloomed wildly, the faint fragrance was pervasive, and the Queen Mother was lying on the couch, her eyes closed, trapped in a permanent coma and chaos.
There is no one to redeem.
The figure of the Yongwang is getting farther and farther away.
The Queen Mother still closed her eyes, but her cheeks didn't know when, and slowly shed two lines of tears.
……
Some people hesitate in the middle of the night, some people sleep and cry, and some people have their long-cherished wishes fulfilled and smile happily.
Wen Jinchun got up in the early morning, bathed in fragrant soup, hair, body, skin, and nails were carefully maintained, and the dark blue and crimson queen dress and the shining phoenix crown were offered on the case.
After dawn, King Yong held an enthronement ceremony, and she would accompany him up the jade steps to accept the courtiers' worship as the queen.
Wen Jinchun looked at Yan Ru Shunhua's self in the bronze mirror, and was in a trance as if in a dream.
thought that the negotiation would be very difficult, after all, she was a concubine of the previous dynasty and had married someone else, so King Yong might not be willing to ask for a broken flower and a willow, let alone become a queen. But when she tentatively proposed to be the queen, King Yong agreed.
Later, she asked him again, how to deal with his identity? After all, the uncle is the nephew and the daughter-in-law, this matter is too appalling, and those pedantic ministers in the court will not agree. She thought about it for a long time, and felt that she should either be replaced by her mother's sister, but it was not her own name and identity after all, and she was a little unwilling.
But the king of Yong said, whoever is the queen is his freedom, and whoever does not agree will be killed on the golden palace.
When he said this, he was overjoyed when he heard this, thinking about the power of the emperor, after all, it was not an ordinary person like himself who could guess it, so he was happy and waited for the world of his mother's ceremony.
The hot bath bucket was sprinkled with flower petals stored in ice cubes and sesame oil transported from abroad, and a drop of fragrance was sprinkled in a glass vial, and a small bottle was worth a thousand gold.
When a bucket of hot water ran out, the palace people went out to change the water, which seemed to be a little slow, and it took a while to come in with a large basin of water.
The heat covered everyone's faces.
Wen Jintan soaked in the water relaxedly, thinking about tomorrow's grand ceremony, and suddenly remembered that Wen Zhen had been transferred to Shang Shuling, and now he was also an important minister in the court, but what if he was an important minister in the court?
Aren't you about to kneel at her feet?
Wen Jinchun couldn't help laughing, the people around him who could be close to him were cronies, and he didn't have any scruples, so he said leisurely: "It's a pity, Wen Zhen hasn't returned to Beijing yet, otherwise tomorrow the ministers will worship on the mountain above the heavenly steps, she knelt in front of her head, and when she looked up, she saw the face of the palace, what an interesting scene should it be?" It's a pity, it's a pity, the main palace is out of sight. ”
The palace man who cut his nails chuckled, and the palace man who added water also laughed and said, "Yes." It's a pity that you can't see it anymore. ”
------Off topic------
Thank you, we are still squatting at the top of the ticket list in June, so far the feast of mountains and rivers, and even the entire Tianding series, the honor process that we have been fighting for ourselves is over. Perfection is always given, you give, OCD loves it.
July won't be updating for too long because I can't wait to rest Quack.
At least take a break for half a year, it's too tiring to write or not, and now the whole environment, including the popular online writing style, is not very friendly to a complex conspiracy drama like me, and it's time to retire.
People's hearts are easy to disperse, and when I finish resting, it is estimated that many people will leave, so let's see and cherish the fate of the last period of this mountain and river.
