Chapter 942: The Death of the Old Country
River City, a pearl on the northwest plateau, with abundant water resources, makes this city a gathering of merchants and prosperous and beautiful. In Fanbang, the military and political status of Hecheng is not as good as that of the capital Luodu, but its economic and cultural advantages are far superior to Luodu.
After Sare and Erta raised their troops, they were defeated again and again, and Hecheng was surrounded by the imperial army like an iron barrel, and the people's livelihood gradually withered, and even the supply of food was insufficient.
Although the Hecheng side repeatedly affirmed that it was Sartre who was mediocre, wronged Sa Re, wronged Sa Re, mistakenly killed the favorite concubine, and should not have killed Kao Hai and his family, most of the people still did not believe it.
The people attributed the root cause of the civil strife to the rebellion of the palace and refused to support Sare to raise troops, and the soldiers of River City refused to fight and fight, and River City was in danger.
He never thought that he would rise up against Brother Wang, and Sare didn't have the heart to strategize.
In one of the most secluded huts next to the palace garden, Sage poured himself a drink, he took two sips of wine, smiled again, took two more sips of wine, and began to talk to himself.
"What will future generations think of me? Ambitious guy who wants to be a king? A hypocrite lurking around Brother Wang? Gaha...... Or a fool who only knows how to covet merry and merry......"
Sage covered his face and held back the tears in his eyes, he was not qualified to cry, too many people had died for him!
He doesn't want to rebel, he doesn't want to see killing, he just wants to prove his innocence! Why did it get darker and darker, to the point where it is now irreversible?
When the smoke clears, when everything is buried by the dust of history, the truth is more difficult to trace, and he has completely become an image of being angry and angry, right?
Who would believe that he and Brother Wang's favorite concubine had nothing, and had only met three times, and only glimpsed them from a distance at the banquet three times?
Once, Sage felt wronged, but now he only felt like a bastard! Why cry out for injustice? Obediently drink a glass of poisonous wine, and die a hundred, how can it be necessary for so many people to die because of him?
Thinking so in his heart, he also made a plan to end the civil strife in Fanbang.
There are many rivers in the river city, in late spring and early summer, the icebergs and snow melt, the river is even more turbulent, Sage people prepare a cruise boat, to enjoy the flowers on both sides of the river.
The subordinates reluctantly went to prepare, secretly scolding him for only having fun, and he would be drunk and dream of death when the battle situation was like this.
When the ship was ready, Sage found a few cronies to work quietly together and dug a lot of holes in the ship.
On April 18 of the ninth year of Jiaxiang, Sage and a few cronies boarded the ship, and they teased each other, and only they knew that they were forcing a smile.
Soon after the boat sailed to the center of the river, the water gradually leaked, and the entourage shouted that it was not good, and asked someone to row a small boat to save it, and asked the shore to prepare to throw the tiger's claws to pull the boat, but was stopped by Sare sharply.
"In the battle of civil strife in Fanbang, I am the culprit, and I am not allowed to come to the rescue! It's not a pity for me to die, but please ask Brother Wang to apologize to the Kao Hai family! And reward and comfort his surviving descendants! ”
It was only after listening to what Sage said on the bow of the ship that the others understood that he wanted to kill himself.
Some of his loyalists cried out for rescue, and he pulled out a dagger while telling them not to make any more useless sacrifices.
"The sky is above, I, Sare, am loyal to Brother Wang, and I will never bully my sister-in-law!"
The dagger stabbed into his heart so quickly that he threw himself into the river with the last of his strength! Blood and water splashed and instantly flooded Sare's body.
Sharre died, the ship carrying his cronies sank, and Erta, Quzhen, Kwabu, and Erma, who were resisting on the tower, could no longer raise their morale.
After the fall of River City, Sartre ordered the imperial army not to harm the people of River City.
It's just that Sartre always thinks that Kaohai's family is a thief who is only loyal to Sage and not loyal to the court, not only did not appease, but was also wanted and arrested.
On April 23, under the arrangement of Cheng Haofeng, people from Metaha's caravan went to River City to find Erta and others, and Lu Laizun sent people to quietly rescue them to the border city.
Their father and family were killed, and Sare committed suicide, and although they were saved, they were devastated.
From the eighth year of Jiaxiang to April of the ninth year of Jiaxiang, in five months, their fate has changed dramatically, from the young master who lived a stable and prosperous life to the traitor of Fanbang, just because his father Kao Hai saved Sare!
If they did evil things and fell to such a point, they had no complaints, but they did not do anything that hurt nature and reason! Why is Heaven so unfair?
It was useless for Metaha and others to persuade for a long time, and it was useless for Hu Yonggang to come from Lingzhou to persuade them, they were trapped in grief and indignation, and kept begging the French Dynasty to send troops to overthrow Sartre's rule.
Kao Hai's wife is the daughter of Hu Yonggang's adoptive father Hu Shoubei, that is, Hu Yonggang's sister, Erta called Hu Yonggang "uncle" and Cheng Haofeng "uncle", and put pressure on him with family affection.
The stakes are very high in entering Fanbang, not to mention that Hu Yonggang is now outside the center of power, and Cheng Haofeng even went to the black ball in the name of a wanted criminal, even if he still holds the military and political power of France and North Korea, it is impossible to send troops rashly.
When they were disappointed and calmed down, Cheng Haofeng summoned them to sit around and asked solemnly: "Do you hate Sartre, the king of Fanbang, do you hate Fanbang and the people of Fanbang?" ”
"Of course not! Fanbang is my motherland, and the people are my compatriots, and they don't hate it at all! I only hate that faint king! Erta replied angrily.
"The two countries are at war, and it is the people or the faint kings who suffer?" Cheng Haofeng said earnestly, "You have made a mistake in raising troops, and you can't be wrong anymore." I was also at fault, and the battle of Seiban, which could have been better resolved, was impulsive. ”
Hearing him admit his mistake, Erta and the others were stunned for a moment, and began to reflect on the war for the sake of personal anger, right or not?
Cheng Haofeng slowed down and said sincerely: "If you want to get rid of the faint monarch, protect the motherland and protect your compatriots, your strength is not enough, now you should make yourself stronger, and then act with plan and certainty." ”
"What the hell are we supposed to do? Please show the way. Quabu heard that Cheng Haofeng had made arrangements, but he was afraid that they wouldn't listen.
After Quabu spoke, Erta, Qu Zhen and Erma also asked Cheng Haofeng to point out the future direction.
Cheng Haofeng asked them to go to Thorn City to do business, and secretly cultivated forces, contacted the Di people more to understand the situation of the Di people, and also set out to prevent the Di people.
They grew up in Fanbang, which has a dry and cold climate, can adapt to the cold of the northern ice fields, and have traded with the Di people, and Erta and Kwabu can also speak simple Di language, so it is relatively easy to develop as a businessman.
Hu Yong just returned to Lingzhou, after Hu Xianxian also left, the number of broken army iron guards expanded, and divided into several groups to train separately, it is a magical elite outside the conventional army, and has not found anyone suitable for training the ice field iron guards.
Moreover, in order to let the broken army and iron guards subdue them, and also to mediate the problems caused by the differences in customs between Fanbang and the French Dynasty, Cheng Haofeng also asked Ye Saiying, Ruan Shaolun and Piaoman to assist.
Ye Saiying has spells and martial arts, and has also managed bandits and led soldiers; Piaoman was originally from the Northern Wilderness, and he had good martial arts; So on the surface, Erta is in charge, and they are the ones who are most responsible for the specific training matters.
And because after Governor Zhou's death, Zhou Tun has been far away in Manraka, and Aunt Zhou has no one to take care of her, Hu Xianxian specially asked Cheng Haofeng to send Aunt Zhou back to the Northern Wilderness.
Although Aunt Zhou's hometown is in the Northern Wilderness, most of her relatives died and left, and now they can rest assured that Ruan Shaolun is taking care of them.
And because Cheng Haofeng always thought that the imperial court's defense of the Di people was too weak, he had the intention to secretly make up for this link, so that Ye Saiying often kept in touch with Zhuo Wuao, and Zhuo Wuao delivered the message to Lei Mad and them in time.
Sometimes, Zhuo Wuao had something to discuss, and he couldn't explain clearly with a few words of the spirit talisman, so he asked Ruan Wenyue to go to Thorn City to deliver a letter.
The network between the capital and Thorn City, the various movements of the Di people, and the dark forces of Erta and their gang are doing better than the forbidden army in the DPRK and China.
Thorn City was the foundation of Wang Shuai's family, and the development of this faction made him jealous, complaining that Zacuo had driven the wolves from Fanbang to his sheepfold.
Zha Cuo said that it was just Cheng Haofeng who wanted to use Erta to do things and use each other, and they couldn't make big waves.
Wang Shuai is not a coaxing Sayiluo, he knows what it is to use each other and what sincere friendship is.
Friends should plan for how their friends will settle down in the future, and will consider how the other party feels and what they like, rather than just caring about the interests of one party and making the other party keep paying.
After Wang Shuai and Yun Bise got married, the Wang family almost completely controlled Qiyun Villa, and also had a weapons business with Zacuo.
At the end of May, the dry and cold state of Fanbang suffered a flood that had not been seen in a century.
The people all said that maybe the king of Hecheng, Sare, was really wronged, and only the water source of Hecheng was in the entire Fanbang, and it was the flooding of Fanbang to wash away the grievances!
There were accidents one after another, the treasury of Fanbang was empty, it was declining day by day, and the anxious and sad Sartre was seriously ill.
On June 13, Zacuo once again infiltrated the palace incognito, allowing Sayiluo to invite himself and pro-French court, and begged for supplies to help Fanbang tide over the difficulties.
Sa Yiluo is unwilling, her father doesn't pay attention to her, why does she ask for supplies with her relatives to help her father?
"You don't want to set up your own brother to be the king? Without any popularity, what are you brothers and sisters fighting with the concubine born to the queen? If you go to France and North Korea to make peace, it will be good for both countries, and it will also be good for yourself, don't be petty! Zha Tso said with a straight face.
Doing so is indeed beneficial to the Sayiluo siblings, but this is not his ultimate goal. Zha Cuo sneered and thought: Cheng Haofeng, can you guess that I want to control Fanbang, can you guess that I still want to put a few nails in the heart of the French Dynasty?
Sa Yiluo didn't think about it so much, she shouted with a crying voice: "Can't I let my brother Anfen be a prince?" Why use my youth, my emotions, my freedom to pave the way for him? ”
Zacuo asked impatiently, "Why can't I take advantage of you?" If it doesn't even have a use value, then it's not a waste? ”
When we first met, didn't Zha Cuo say that he sympathized with her and came to vent a bad breath for her? How can a perfect male god who is chivalrous and righteous say these words?
"Waste ......" Sa Yiluo took a step back in amazement and muttered weakly.
Is it waste with no use value? Isn't there an emotion in this world that loves only for love's sake? How could she be a waste?
I am willing to relieve your worries with gentle words, and I am willing to give birth to children for you for a lifetime, as long as I truly love you, isn't this the greatest use? It turns out that what Zha Tso needs is not love!
Sayiluo thought that the encounter with Zha Cuo was the beginning of a good marriage, but in the end, there was no drama of abandoning the beginning and the end, just taking advantage of it!
Why do you want to arrange to go to France and Korea, other countries can also ask for supplies. She was full of questions and didn't have an exit, she was stupid enough, and if she asked again, she was stupid.
Sa Yiluo suddenly figured out a lot of things, since it is used, the only thing that can be done at present is to improve the use value.
The wind in the homeland is cold, the snow in the homeland is cold, and the people in the homeland are cold, but Sa Yiluo embarked on a journey of harmony, only to suddenly find that everything in the homeland made her unforgettable.
