Chapter Twenty-Eight: Taking a Wife and Taking a Concubine
In the following month, Xu Quan only ordered the ministers to lead more than 100 horsemen to attack the city day and night, and there was no siege of the city, Zheng Yi saw Xu Quan do this, as if helpless, relieved, regardless of the war every day, only with his wife and concubine in the house to drink and have fun, Lu Cai also spent a leisurely life, it is expected that Shen Yue and Zhang He are all idle people, waiting for their food to run out.
Zheng Yi invited all the ministers to a banquet one day, gathered the people to drink, and after three rounds of wine, a minister came in and said, "My lord, the enemy army seems to have no movement recently, and there must be a demon if something goes wrong. ”
Zheng Yi was half drunk, and when he heard this, he was furious, smashed the cup and said angrily, "Bah! Xu Quan and Shen Yue are just ministers in the market, and the two of them are far inferior to Lu Cai in their wisdom, how can they have a plan to break the city? You are bad for me Yaxing today, and you deserve to die!"
Zheng Yiyan called the knife and axe hand to push it out and behead it, and the ministers persuaded him, but Zheng Yi turned a deaf ear, saying, "My will has been decided, if you defend this thief, you will behead him together!" When the ministers heard this, they were terrified and did not dare to speak.
Besides, Zheng Yi was drunk tonight, and wanted to go to Wushan Yunyu with the concubines, and when he returned home, he saw a crow chirping in the beam of the house, and his voice was very harsh.
Talking and laughing with him, he suddenly heard the noise of people outside the city, Zheng Yi was furious, and came out with his sword, but saw that there was no troublemaker in the market, but he saw more than 100 armored sergeants, and his sergeants were wearing black gold iron armor, and they were elite soldiers under Xu Quan.
Tonight, the city gate was closed, but the enemy army appeared out of thin air like ghosts, Zheng Yi was not shocked when he saw An Ying? And Zheng Yi's 2,000 sergeants were also caught off guard, and before they could put on their helmets and armor, the enemy soldiers slaughtered into the camp, and they had no armor on their bodies, and the enemy army was menacing, and An could match the enemy?
This is not a strange thing, but Shen Yue watched the sky on the eve of January, and confirmed that there was no rain in this month, so the sergeant dug the ground and dug a road, and the tunnel led directly into the city.
Shen Yue's plan is very clever, so that Chen Jin and Wei Xiu two tiger generals will be the leader, two thousand soldiers poured into the city in the tunnel, like a bamboo to cut down the enemy, and not to hurt the innocent, the enemy will see that the city is lost, the general trend has gone and everyone is willing to surrender, and its soldiers also want to survive and steal their lives.
Xu Quan, Shen Yue and others led five hundred horsemen, walked to the outside of the city, saw the fire in the city, and shouted, "I don't know where Chen Jin and Wei Xiu's two generals are?"
Chen Jin heard that Xu Quan had arrived on the city wall, opened the city gate for him to enter, Xu Quan saw that the huge gate had been opened, and the sound was deafening when it opened, and he saw Shen Yue and Zheng Yan dressed in white clothes with him, and he was relieved, and then walked into the city with a leisurely letter.
His own sergeants only lost 200, and were surrendered to 12 generals, 800 soldiers, and when Qin Ran led people to transport wounded soldiers into the city, Xu Quan immediately ordered the city gate to be closed tightly, in order to prevent future troubles, and introduced himself into the city lord's mansion, but saw Lu Cai kneeling naked in the hall, and Zheng Yi was also lying on his side in the hall in disheveled clothes, as if injured.
Xu Quan sat on the throne of the city lord, and asked Zheng Yi to pick him up, make him kneel in the hall, and asked, "Do you know our plan?"
Zheng Yi saw that the soldiers around him were all enemies, and when he saw Xu Quan's fierce face, he couldn't cry and said, "I still have no enmity with you, why did you rush to kill them all?"
When Xu Quan heard this, he couldn't help but say, "I only want to occupy this city, and I don't mean to kill you, but you let people fight in front of my village, don't you want to fight?"
When Lu Cai heard this, he was furious and said, "Xu thief! Ru Tian is shameless! You have set up camp outside our city, and now you have entered the city again, and the crime of killing the people is monstrous!"
Xu Quan smiled when he heard this, and said: "Your lord is flying high, the people are fishy, you have been abusing us for a long time, and I am scolding us at this age? ”
Lu Cai was speechless when he heard this, Shen Yue saw that Lu Cai was a roe deer, and he was born against the bone and left the master, and signaled Xu Quan, Xu Quan immediately let people hang him, Lu Cai heard this, his original form was revealed, and he cried out, "Hugh wants to kill me, I ...... I will surrender to him!"
Zheng Yi saw that Lu Cai was killed in Huangquan, and his soul flew away and cried and prayed, "I ...... I can ask you for this opportunity to make meritorious contributions. ”
Xu Quan wanted to save his life, but he was inexplicably furious, and the fierce god roared viciously: "The general of the defeated army has the right to speak!
Qin Ran Zheng Yan was dumbfounded, everyone had never seen Xu Quan in this state so far, only Shen Yue knew the reason, now Xu Quan has been controlled by the shimmering shadow, and the murderous nature is also understandable...... Spare your life!"
Xu Quan's anger was not extinguished, and he actually ordered the general to be surrendered, Chen Jin was secretly shocked when he heard it, and said, "If the general is surrendered, I am afraid that it will not be a gentleman's move, and I hope the monarch will be angry." ”
Shen Yue stroked his shoulder, Xu Quan just woke up like a dream, "I just ......" Seeing that everyone was shocked, Xu Quan sat on the chair, only forced a smile and said, "Fang is my gaffe, please go back to your room to rest, it's not too late to meet again tomorrow." ”
Xu Quan was at a loss when he saw that everyone was resigning and retiring, and asked, "What did I just do?"
Shen Yue said calmly, "You have been exhausted physically and mentally recently, your will is not strong, and you are controlled by the Shadow Spear, so it is not suitable to work hard recently, so you can rest for the time being." ”
Xu Quan went to the shadow, and now the body of the gun has been revealed due to the sharp increase in the number of souls under the gun, and the runes have been revealed, Xu Quan has palpitations, and when he saw Shen Yue retreating, he slept peacefully in the hall.
In the dream, Xu Quan saw a person, the person was several feet long, the tiger body ape arms, broad and long beard, his face was scarred, his eyes were red like nightmares, when he woke up, it was the next day, when the sun was three poles, Qin Ran was dressed in green clothes and new clothes, and entered the hall with a tray, Xu Quan saw that there were delicacies of mountains and seas in the tray in his hand.
Qin Ran put the food on the wooden table, Xu Quan didn't say a word, he swallowed the wine and meat into his belly, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said with a smile, "Thank you." ”
Qin Ran smiled slightly, put away the dishes and plates, and wanted to leave, Xu Quan said, "Please inform you and let them meet in this hall." ”
When everyone arrived, Xu Quan saw that everyone was radiant, even if Wei Xiu was also happy, he was also relieved, and now he had taken this city as his own, and he could settle down here to compete with the world, and before that, he needed to assign his duties properly.
After Xu Quan finished thinking about it, he named Chen Jin as the general of the Dangkou, and his position was to remove the bandits and bandits, and the peace outside the city was guaranteed, Zhang He's position was still the same, as the governor of military training, Zhang Da was the captain of the day, commanding the cavalry, Wei Xiu was the general of the marksman, commanding the archers, Shen Yue was the military advisor, Qin Ran was temporarily the governor of the country, taking over the logistics of the government, Zheng Yan, Xu Quan did not make it clear, only let him wait and see the changes.
Regrouped, gathered more than 2,700 elite soldiers, demoted the position of general is still the same, included Wenchen in the think tank, pacified the people, and served as the city lord.
Besides, Wu Cao, in Baisha City to accumulate grain, the heroes have been holding on to each other for a long time, the grain and grass are not good, retreat to Cuihe City, several of the forces immediately decided to dissolve the alliance and return to the outer region, after the group of heroes re-applied the old tricks, set up a grudge fog forest to resist the enemy, so as to retreat to the inner region, the two sides fought for several months, but the situation was the same, with the return of the heroes, Cangyun City rekindled.
Besides, Xu Quan, occupy the city, recruit wise men, and the city people Qiu from beginning to end have no offense, because of its famous reputation, within a month, there were three people to lead more than 3,200 soldiers to take refuge, the three people named Chu Qian, originally for the military ministers under the command of Cangrang, led 1,300 elite soldiers to settle in, because of its courage and good fighting, Xu Quan named him the captain of the broken formation.
Another person's name is Tian Lin, originally a rural village husband, recently led more than 1,000 strong people from his hometown to defect, Xu Quanlai did not refuse to include it, because he was proficient in the method of cultivating the field, and named him the captain of Yunmai, as the name suggests.
Another person's name is Guanfeng, who was originally a mountain bandit and a bandit, and now he abandoned the secret cast to lead 900 bandits to vote, Xu Quan included, and saw that he was well versed in the method of surprise attack and ambush, and named him the captain of Fulong.
In January, Xu Quan has gathered a total of more than 5,900 elite soldiers, seeing that Zhang He's training soldiers are physically and mentally exhausted due to overwhelmed burdens, he has appointed Chu Qian as the deputy training supervisor and shared official duties equally, Shen Yue saw that he had gradually entered a better situation, and recommended Xu Quan to wait for the next year, and then recruit other places, and by the way, marry wives and concubines, and raise offspring.
Xu Quan has been on the battlefield for a long time, knowing that life and death are not up to him, and he married a wife in October, and set out for the next year, Shen Yue saw that Qin Ran and his two were happy, and recommended Xu Quan to marry as a wife, and then he could take a concubine by himself, and Xu Quan was the same.
During the discussion, Tan Ma suddenly reported that a group of people and horses went outside the city, wanting to see the city lord, Xu Quan heard the words, let people bring it in, and then led it to the main hall of the city lord's mansion to see, Xu Quan immediately returned to the house to change clothes, and waited for him to enter the hall, and saw that the person who came was dressed in brocade clothes and jade clothes, his hair was draped over his shoulders, and his face could be called a sinking fish and a goose, which was Chen Qi.
Xu Quan immediately saluted and said, "The owner of the village is coming, and if you miss it, forgive your sins." ”
Chen Qi saw that Xu Quan was dressed in brocade clothes today, and now it was not what it used to be, so he smiled and said, "Why is the city lord so polite?"
Xu Quan invited him to sit down and handed him tea, Chen Qi came alone now, there must be something important, how dare Xu Quan slack off? After the two finished their salutes, Chen Qi went straight into the line and said, "Lord Xu is now over 20 years old, but has he married a wife and a concubine?"
Xu Quan replied truthfully, "I haven't married a wife yet, I don't know what the owner of the village means?"
Seeing this, Chen Qi said without hesitation, "The Lord of the Unification Council ordered me to come and ask you ......."
Xu Quan stopped when he saw that he wanted to speak, and said with a smile: "The owner of the village, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
"Ask if you would like to marry me as the main house. ”
"Poof!!"
Xu Quan walked back and forth in the house, muttering to himself, "...... This must be its ...... This must be its plan. ”
And Shen Yue was beside him, calmly drinking tea and watching flowers, and said, "What......? Don't want to, you don't suffer anyway~"
When Xu Quan heard this, although he knew the reason, he said, "If I marry her as the main house, it is tantamount to forming an alliance with the Unification Society." ”
When Shen Yue heard this, he disagreed, saying, "Unification will be famous all over the world, everyone knows it, and an alliance with it is also the best policy." ”
Xu Quan thought carefully and said, "There must be fraud in this...... My soldiers are outnumbered, how can a unified alliance with me?"
When Shen Yue heard this, he couldn't help but say, "...... There are also capable men and wise men in the Unification Society, and their power is increasing day by day, but none of them are willing to form an alliance with them, and Chen Qi has the grace of not killing you, and you will not be able to shirk when you come to propose relatives. ”
Xu Quan knew that he was in a dilemma, and asked Shen Yue what plan he should shirk, but Shen Yue was unusual, and said with a smile, "I have nothing to do." ”
In desperation, Xu Quan asked Chen Qi to temporarily live in the post house, waiting for good news, and when he returned to the mansion to gather the ministers to discuss, Zheng Yan heard that he did not say a word, but Qin Ran took the case and said, "How can Brother Xu be in the same stream with the bandits? ”
When Zhang He heard this, he smiled and said, "This is a bad word, now our soldiers are outnumbered, if we refuse it, I am afraid that we will be retaliated against." ”
When Chen Jin heard this, he sneered and said, "Even if he leads the army to attack the city, what does it matter? The unification council is a rabble, and there is no overflow of deep friendship with it.
When Chu Qian heard this, he said, "Eh, General Chen's words are wrong, I know that you have experienced a hundred battles, but now that our forces are gradually getting better, it has not yet become a climate, if you rashly make enemies with it, it may be tantamount to development and expansion." ”
When Tian Lin heard this, he fell into the clouds and mist, and said with a smile, "Although I don't understand what you say, I only know that bandits are nothing good." ”
When Guanfeng heard this, he couldn't help but say, "Eh, Brother Tian's words are wrong, I was also a bandit in the past, and now I don't also abandon the dark and turn to the light?
Xu Quan saw that everyone had their own opinions, and seeing that Shen Yue was silent, he knew that he might not help himself, so he took the case and said, "Don't fight, I have made up my mind, and I am waiting to marry him when I choose an auspicious time." ”
When Qin Ran heard this, he was surprised and said, "Why is Brother Xu like this?"
Xu Quan smiled and said, "People can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, if they refuse to make enemies with them, I am afraid it will be disadvantageous." ”
When Qin Ran heard this, Ai Ai said, "Yes...... You...... You're determined to marry a bandit......? I misjudged you. "Say goodbye, grab the door and leave.
Xu Quan quickly ordered Chen Jin to invite him back, but Qin Ran was already furious, and chased back to the house behind closed doors, Chen Jin was not afraid of enemies from all sides, but now he had nothing to do with a woman, Xu Quan heard it and sighed secretly.
Chen Qi saw Xu Quan's promise, smiled, resigned and left, waiting for the auspicious day of October, bringing a generous gift to marry him, Chen Qi left, Xu Quan sent it to three miles outside the valley and returned, waiting for him to return home, but saw that Zheng Yan had been waiting in the bedroom for a long time.
Xu Quan asked why, and Zheng Yan replied, "In the future, if you marry Chen Qi, I will no longer have the same sleep with you." ”
When Xu Quan heard this, he knew what it meant, and couldn't help but say, "I will marry a wife, and I will accept you as a concubine, can you deign to marry me?"
When Zheng Yan heard this, she said "Hmm...... How long do I need to think about it...... What about Qin Ran? I see that the two of you are in love, why don't you marry her together?"
Xu Quan replied: "Ran has been pampered since she was a child, how can she be willing to condescend to be a concubine? ”
In the following month, Xu Quan cultivated himself, ordered Shen Yue to temporarily take care of political affairs, drank tea and read books in the mansion, practiced martial arts and chess, and heard that Chen Jin had won many battles in addition to bandits, and won 500 bandits, and rewarded them heavily.
After a month, Xu Quan entered Qin Ran's house, but saw that there were only four walls in the house, and the building had already been empty, Xu Quan saw it silently, and returned with a secret sigh, Chen Jin had wanted to tour it, Xu Quan smiled and said, "She is willing to go, no one can stop her." ”
Another day, Xu Quan hunted with the crowd in the canyon, and saw a fireball falling from the sky and falling in the nearby forest, Xu Quan wanted to explore it in the forest, and the generals rode fifty horses together, and waited for it to go deep into the forest, but saw a blonde and blue-eyed person walking out of the place where the fire started, the person was skinny, unkempt and difficult to distinguish the gender, and his figure should be a woman.
