Chapter 372: Captives as Pioneers
Hua Tian and Zhang Tong were excused and stood a little stiffly in the middle of the ground.
Chenguang looked at them without smiling and didn't speak, but the way she looked made them not know how to speak.
After being silent for a long time, Hua Tian felt that it was not okay not to speak again, glanced at Zhang Tong, and saw that he had no intention of speaking, so he had to speak by himself, and stiffly lost a smile:
"His Royal Highness Lord Feng."
Chenguang raised his eyebrows and stared at him with a smile.
Obviously his eyes were very warm, but Hua Tian suddenly broke out in a little cold sweat.
"Does His Royal Highness Lord Feng want us from Flame City to attack Sichuan Prefecture as the vanguard army?"
"yes." Chenguang smiled lazily.
Hua Tian and Zhang Tong glanced at each other, Hua Tian looked serious and said:
"Your Royal Highness Lord Feng, we have been living in Flame City, we are not familiar with the land of the Central Plains, and we are even less familiar with Sichuan Prefecture and Feng Yingguo, is it a bit risky to use us as the vanguard army, it will be detrimental to the war."
"It's your business that you're not familiar with the land, and whether you, as the vanguard, will die in vain because of these excuses you said, it also depends on your ability, what do you have to do with me? You have been a straight horse bandit for so many years, and you don't need to go around in circles with me, let you be the vanguard, once there are casualties, you will use your casualties to preserve the strength of our Feng Netherworld army. But if you do a good job in this battle and let me see your ability, you will be treated the same as the army of the Feng Netherworld in the future. It's as simple as that. Do you think that you have been brought in, and that you are prisoners, and that I am lenient for not giving you the humiliation of your captives? Captives are not qualified to bargain with me, unless I see that you are useful and worthy of my military expenses, otherwise you people are the shields I captured to make human shields for Feng Yingguo, understand? ”
If it is very cruel or humiliating, even Zhang Tong, who is naturally blue-skinned, can't stop turning red and black.
Zhang Tong raised his head and stared at the morning light with a pair of narrow eyes, like a bamboo pole that had become fine.
"Your Royal Highness Lord Feng, we have 70,000 people in Flame City, and now it is the beginning of the battle between His Royal Highness Lord Feng and the rebels in Sichuan Prefecture."
It was a very subtle threat, and he was telling Chenguang to speak with respect.
Chenguang smiled contemptuously: "What about 70,000 people? Even if there are 100,000 people, you people in Flame City are still my prisoners, and you are still my defeated men. ”
Zhang Tong was choked by the sentence "his subordinates are defeated", and his face turned white.
"If you are unwilling, it is better to go back and study the war and fight a beautiful victory, so that I can still look down on you. Otherwise, it can only be said that horse bandits are horse bandits, and they will never become a climate. ”
Hua Tian and Zhang Tong's faces changed slightly, it was true that they were horse bandits, but horse bandits didn't really want to hear the honest word "horse bandits", and they were openly called horse bandits in the army, which was a kind of humiliation.
Self-esteem humiliation is sometimes more difficult to accept than losing a battle on the battlefield.
"Forget it this time, remember it next time, and call yourself 'grass people' in front of this temple. Let's go down. Chenguang said quietly.
Hua Tian and Zhang Tong's faces were full of anger and unwillingness, although they tried not to show it on their faces, but they still overflowed when they turned their faces.
The two of them stiffly bowed and withdrew.
The morning light hooked his lips.
Her captives, who had been "cleansed" by the rebels in Sichuanzhou, would embark on the road to the regular army after this battle.
……
Long Xiguo.
Ann.
A while ago, Bai Guifei caught the Lan concubine of Lanhua Hall and the guards fornicating with the guards, which shook the entire government and the opposition, and then, another even more shocking news came up with His Majesty returning to the palace from the border pass, and His Majesty actually wanted to marry the Phoenix Lord of the Phoenix Kingdom as the queen.
Suddenly, Long Xiguo's court was like raw water in an oil pot, and it began to splash oil stars with a crackle.
It is not surprising that His Majesty is going to marry His Royal Highness Lord Feng, because this matter has been rumored for a long time, and about this matter, everyone who heard about it is almost calloused when they hear it, and now His Majesty is just openly announcing that the matter that has been speculated has been confirmed.
As for why His Majesty wants to marry His Royal Highness Lord Feng, beauty alone is enough, not to mention that His Royal Highness Lord Feng is followed by a Phoenix Netherworld.
Regarding this matter, the court is still divided into three factions, one is the old school with the maiden family of the harem concubines as the main force, these people resolutely oppose foreign women as queens, in fact, they are worried that once the phoenix lord is the queen, there will be nothing to do with the girls of their family. It is rumored that His Royal Highness Lord Feng is ruthless, if he is jealous, maybe even they will suffer when the time comes, and he must not lure the wolf into the room. This group of people is also the most fiercely reacted among the three factions.
The number of neutrals and favorites is about the same, and there are pros and cons to this marriage, and on the whole the pros outweigh the disadvantages, and if His Majesty insists, they, as courtiers, can only think about the benefits. What's more, anyone with a discerning eye can see that His Majesty is full of longing for this marriage, and he is surprisingly bright when he comes back from the border pass, so bright that such a serious thing happened and did not order the execution of Lan Concubine and the adulterous guards, but sent Lan Concubine into the cold palace and exiled the guards, and Lan Concubine's maiden family was only demoted and expelled from Qi'an, and did not ask for the lives of their families.
This is not His Majesty's style, therefore, this anomaly can only be explained as: first, Your Majesty is in a very good mood, so good that it is greater than the anger of being covered by the green cloud; Second, he didn't want to see blood in the process of preparing for marriage, for fear that it would be unlucky.
I heard that the dowry gift to be sent to Feng Yingguo was personally selected by His Majesty.
Although I don't know if this rumor is true or not, there is no one who has heard it without a tongue.
His Majesty turned a deaf ear to the opposition voices in the court, which shows that His Majesty is iron-hearted this time.
Shen Run is indeed determined, this time, no matter who opposes it, it is useless. The rumors are also true, the dowry gift sent to Feng Yingguo was personally selected by him, and while he was choosing, he was thinking in his heart about what he had to come up with in order for Chenguang to agree to him more happily.
He's been immersed in these things these days.
After going down, he sat in the study to check the prepared dowry list, and at this moment, the little eunuch Sanshi Mao came in from outside with his waist bent and reported softly:
"Your Majesty, the concubine asks to see you."
"Nope." Shen Run flipped through the dowry list, his face was expressionless, and he spit out two words coldly.
Sanshi retreated, withdrew to drive people out.
But the people didn't drive them away.
Bai Wanning wore a big red butterfly and wore a flower palace costume to break in violently regardless of the obstruction, rushed directly to the center of the main hall, and knelt down with a plop, her plain but bright face was full of seeing death as home. She turned pale, straightened her neck, and asked in a loud voice:
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty wants to marry the Phoenix Lord of the Phoenix Kingdom as the queen, is this true?"
Sanshi didn't stop Bai Wanning, and knelt down in a panic to plead guilty.
Shen Run waved his hand to let Sanshi retreat and glanced at Bai Wanning.
Her red was too gorgeous, a little dazzling.
Who allowed her to wear red as a concubine?
Seeing that he doesn't have time not to care, these people are going to heaven one by one!
