Chapter 33: The Fall of Yanzhou
"It's a good thing to have ambitions, but who in the world doesn't have ambitions? But if you are too confident, not only will you not make a difference, but you will also harm yourself. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info", He Yuanjun said solemnly.
"He Yuanjun is right!", Lu Ming nodded.
Tao Zhifu said with a smile: "Uncle Lu County, Tao has already set up a banquet in the restaurant, if you don't dislike it, I will come to Zuixianglou at noon today to have a delicious meal, and take this opportunity to celebrate for you." ā
"Thank you Governor Tao for your kindness, but the student has already made an appointment with a few friends today, so I can only live up to your good intentions. Lu Ming said politely.
"Hehe, it's okay, we still have a chance to have a drink in the future. Tao Zhifu laughed and didn't care.
Suddenly, Lu Ming's official seal began to ring, and his face changed slightly.
He had just received the title, so why did he pass on the book so quickly? Isn't it from the imperial court?
At this time, Lu Ming found that Tao Zhifu and He Yuanjun also held his official seal, and it seemed that this letter was not transmitted to only one person.
Lu Ming held his official seal, and suddenly a golden light appeared, condensing into a document in the air.
"The 300,000 troops of the Eastern Demon Clan have invaded and occupied one state and three prefectures in the north of the Liang Kingdom, and the front line is urgent, please send troops to support my Yanzhou army as soon as possible!"
The information Lu Ming received was exactly the same as that of Tao Zhifu, and after many readers saw the documents, they suddenly threw a boulder into the lake, causing a wave of waves.
"The Eastern Demon Clan and the Human Race have signed an agreement not to invade each other, why are they rashly attacking our Liang Kingdom now!"
"Audacious! The Eastern Demon Clan dares to invade my frontier, and we scholars should rise up to kill the demons!"
"Haha, what's the point of worrying about the Eastern Demon Clan! It's just a sudden attack and occupation of one state and three prefectures, as long as we wave our troops north, won't the 300,000 Eastern Demon Clan be wiped out!"
"As long as my Liang State sends three scholars, with only 150,000 troops, they can't find the north, and the Eastern Demon Clan dares to run rampant?
"Kill the Eastern Demon, Zhuang Clan! Kill the Eastern Demon, Zhuang Clan!"
Many readers roared violently.
Lu Ming shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's not that simple this time, the Eastern Demon Clan was able to capture the three prefectures of a state in a short period of time, and the news of the blockade has only come out so far, I'm afraid it will be led by the Demon King." ā
"Demon King, this is impossible! There are only a handful of demon kings of the Eastern Demon Clan, and it is impossible for them to attack our Liang Kingdom at the risk of their lives!", a young man said in disbelief.
With a "hum", the official seal sounded again, and another Hongyan biography appeared.
According to the current investigation, there are three demon kings in command, and there are more than 50 demon marquis, more than 200 demon marshals, more than 1,000 demon generals, 160,000 demon soldiers, and all the rest are demon people.
"Three demon kings!", everyone was startled, and their faces were extremely pale.
Tao Zhifu said with an ugly face: "The demon king's demon position is close to the Confucian of our human race, and generally speaking, the demon king's own strength is better than our human race, if you send a scholar to it, it is simply to send it to death." ā
"There are three demon kings in command, and when we are unguarded, it will only be a few days to occupy that Yanzhou!"
"Yanzhou belongs to the north of my Liang country, it is located in the middle of nowhere, and there are more than 10 scholars in Yanzhou's 200,000 army, if you see only 300,000 troops of the Eastern Demon Clan, it is very likely that you will underestimate the enemy because of the geographical advantage. ā
He Yuanjun said: "I think it's not just as simple as underestimating the enemy, if they are eager to make merit, they will definitely not play the court in the first place, otherwise how could Yanzhou fall inexplicably?"
"Hmph! It is precisely because they are too confident that Yanzhou has fallen! I think that my people of Yanzhou are still in dire straits at this time, so how can I wait to sleep!"
Tao Zhifu was so angry that he gritted his teeth, his eyes breathed fire, and he couldn't wait to go to the battlefield in person to slaughter the Eastern Demon Army.
"Governor Tao, please calm your anger, now that Yanzhou has fallen, the imperial court will definitely order troops to go to Cangzhou to join the Yanzhou army and drive the Eastern Demon Clan out of Liang Kingdom!", Lu Ming said.
"This is extremely true!", Tao Zhifu nodded, and stopped talking.
"Putting this matter aside for the time being, I believe that we will soon be able to regain the lost territory and save the people of Yanzhou. ", Tao Zhifu said.
Everyone nodded, and stopped talking about it, after all, they couldn't help at all now.
He Yuanjun took out a booklet and said: "After the release of "Liweng Rhyme", it has been loved by the majority of readers, in less than half a month, our Academy of Literature has earned 30 million taels of silver tickets, according to the agreement between you and the Ministry of Culture, the profit is fifty-fifty, I have relevant accounts here, and I specially brought it to you to check. ā
"I'm wrong with the account, I only took one thousand taels of this, and donated the rest to the Liang State Military Department. Lu Ming said.
"What...... What?"
He Yuanjun was a little incredulous: "Lu Ming, this is not a small amount, you have to think twice!"
Lu Ming said solemnly: "When the imperial court sends troops to rescue Yanzhou, you have to pull out the silver taels from the treasury for military salaries, once it lasts for a long time, the treasury must be empty, I am just a scholar, I have no ability to go to the battlefield, so I can only serve the country in this way!"
He Yuanjun's face was stunned, and he immediately said: "That's a good point! Then He Mou also decided to confiscate all the silver taels earned by the Ministry of Culture and Administration and buy good weapons for the soldiers on the front line!"
"Counting Tao's, in addition to Yu Lu, I will take out another five million taels of silver!"
"And me!
"And me, and me! I'm going to do my part!"
Many readers responded.
Tao Zhifu nodded slightly, revealing a hint of a smile.
"Without further ado, Tao immediately returned to the yamen to supervise and leave!"
"He immediately started to prepare and sent the silver two to the military department!"
"Congratulations to both!"
Lu Ming sent him off, Tao Zhifu and He Yuanjun returned the salute and turned to leave.
Lu Ming looked at some of the things placed on the ground again, which were the four treasures of the study, the Qing Fan and the Demon Slaying Sword given by Liang Jun, these things were all treasures.
Lu Ming turned on the fan and shook it gently, and suddenly it was like a breeze blowing on his face, extremely comfortable, and if he used his talents, he could also roll out the wind.
The Demon Slashing Sword is three feet long, and the silver blade is flashing with a burst of coldness, extremely sharp, because it can break the protective soft armor of the Eastern Demon Clan, it has the name of "Demon Slashing", the Demon Slaying Sword is not common, and it is usually only owned by famous families or royal nobles.
As for the four treasures of the study, it is the most precious thing for the reader, and with the help of the treasure to write war poems, you can enhance the power of poetry into soldiers.
Lu Ming used the Qiankun bag to put the treasure in it, this Qiankun bag is a complimentary item, which can be used to store the treasure, which is very convenient.
Many readers have bright eyes and are extremely envious, although it is not a treasure, but it is also given by Liang Jun, which naturally has a lot of significance.
Subsequently, Lu Ming said goodbye to many scholars and returned to his dormitory.
After Lu Ming returned to the bedroom, he took out a manuscript from the drawer, which was the second volume of "The Rhyme of the Couple".
During this period, Lu Ming spent most of his energy on studying, so the next volume was written more slowly than the previous volume, but it was already nearing the end.
Although it is written very slowly, correspondingly, the more books you read, the richer your knowledge becomes.
Lu Ming held the manuscript and read it in a low voice: "Wide to fierce, cold to hot, straight to dignity, cloud head to rain feet, crane hair to dragon hair." ā
"Fengtai admonishes, Su Tang Lian, Baotai to Mingqian, the five lakes return to Fan Li, and the three paths are hidden in Tao. ā
"A sword is successfully sealed, and a curtain is hung when a hundred coins are full. ā
"Stop the glass of turbid wine, let me drink half sorrowfully, sit next to the flowers, and watch him smile and understand. ā
"It's almost finished, so it's better to finish the next volume while you're free now!"
Thinking of this, Lu Ming picked up his pen and continued to write the second volume of "Liweng's Rhyme".
It wasn't until around the evening that Lu Ming finished writing the next volume, and during this period, in addition to writing words, he had to desperately recall the "Liweng Rhyme" in his mind.
After all, it was a book he had seen in his previous life, and at that time he was not able to memorize it, so he had almost forgotten a few subsections of the text, so it took a lot of time to remember.
During this period, I was quite sad, obviously there were only a few sections left before the end of the volume, but I couldn't hold back a word for half a day, which was quite uncomfortable.
But in the end, Lu Ming finally remembered those words and completed the next volume of "Liweng's Rhyme".
When he had just finished writing the last word, his talent suddenly gushed out like a spring, and he was enlightened.
"Talent empowerment, am I going to be promoted?"
As soon as this thought flashed, Lu Ming felt a powerful talent pour into his eyebrows, and the entire Wenfu was shocked.
At this time, it was already evening, but the sky above the Academy suddenly became dark at a very fast speed, and night had fallen within a radius of thousands of miles.
"What's going on? Why is it getting dark so fast today? Why is it that the sun is still there just now, why is it gone in the blink of an eye?"
"No! Not at all! There is still a bright light in the distant sky, there must be a vision, or a strange treasure has been born!"
"I've never seen anything like this before!"
At this time, the sky has become dark, and the sky is full of stars, emitting flashes of dazzling light, which is very beautiful.
"The stars are shining!
"This is a once-in-a-century spectacle!"
"It is recorded in the book: the stars are shining, and talent will come, and quickly, go back to the bookstore, we are likely to get the talent power of the stars!"
At this time, the stars in the night sky shook without warning, scattering one after another starlight, turning into a sky of talent and slowly falling.
These talents gathered together in mid-air, and began to scatter in the center of the Academy, and many scholars began to recite poems and sense their talents.
Among them, the most essence of the wisp of talent directly entered Lu Ming's room, and poured into Lu Ming's eyebrows in the Wenfu, and the entire Wenfu shook again, and a huge change occurred.
