Chapter 100: Nine Arrows!
readx;
In the first battle of the Northern Expedition, the Yongzhou army established by Chu Mad was greatly injured in a blink of an eye, and more than half of the soldiers who participated in the Northern Expedition suffered casualties, which was enough to be called the worst defeat in the past 20 years.

Chu Nan could understand Chu Yan's feelings, there were such generals who didn't know whether it was the luck or misfortune of the Yongzhou soldiers, and said softly: "After returning to Yongzhou, let's appease more." ā
Chu Mad looked a little reluctant, and finally nodded and said, "That's the only way." ā
Chu Nan didn't want to continue such a heavy topic, who knows if Chu would say something rebellious under his anger for a while, this kind of place is more crowded and mixed, and it will be a disaster if it spreads, so he changed the topic and said: "What does the military newspaper in Yongzhou say? If it is not clear, I can go and help inquire, the young city lord of Yingzhou City is now in the capital." ā
Chu Mad shook his head and refused, remembering something sarcastic and said: "Yongzhou's military report is quite exaggerated and false, saying that there are more than 50,000 enemy troops and siege equipment, which is clearly an excuse to cover up the unfavorable reaction and lose a great opportunity to destroy the enemy...... Hmph, as soon as I am not in Yongzhou, the prefect of the Guo family will have his tail cocked to the sky. ā
Chu Nan knew that Chu Mad had suppressed Guo Liang badly before, and he didn't care about the intrigue and prevarication in these officialdoms, and asked, "Your Majesty and those bosses in the military aircraft department just let it go?"
Chu Mad sneered and said indifferently: "At that time, when the military newspaper was handed over, your father-in-law, General Yang, slapped the table on the spot and scolded his mother, and took the military newspaper to find His Majesty to strictly investigate Guo Liangyi's crime of delaying the military situation, but unfortunately, when he entered the palace to see His Majesty, the Duke of Jingguo and his wife were drinking tea with His Majesty and the Queen Mother............ This matter is no longer over......"
Chu Nan was not surprised at all, poured tea with a chuckle, raised his head and said: "There is no need to be so angry, what appears in the northwest now is only the vanguard of the Great Food, the elite is the elite, if you want to cause a big mess, you can't talk about it." The big food came from afar, it was inevitable that people would be sleepy and lacking horses, and there was no foundation in the northwest for a while, if it weren't for the fact that the weather was not suitable for fighting, even if it could not be destroyed at some cost, the fight would be scattered. ā
Chu Mad nodded, then was silent for a while, and sighed: "It's a pity, I can't fight." ā
Chu Nan was puzzled, "Why?"
Chu Yan said indifferently: "In order to win the Northern Expedition beautifully, the treasury has been almost emptied, and now in the cold winter season, there is no income, and there is no money to fight in a short period of time. ā
Emperor Liang was so happy, in order to promote his personal martial arts, the treasury was tossed clean, even if the Liang army was strong, there was no money and no food, and it was nothing in previous years, the treasury was empty, and in the summer and autumn, the grain harvest was abundant, the merchants were active in profits and taxes, and the treasury was naturally full again.
But who would have thought that the Great Food would invade the east at this time, which undoubtedly put Daliang in a rather embarrassing situation, the military is strong, the national self-confidence is strong, and the people of the royal family are not weak, Daliang looks undoubtedly powerful, and the royal family is obviously not willing to let the people feel that the court is weak and can be bullied, and let foreign enemies bully, but the so-called strong is actually just an empty shelf, and it is a fact that there is no money to launch a full-scale war, even if Emperor Liang is tough and high-spirited, he can't let the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of Daliang go hungry to fight.
Chu Nan sighed and said in a low voice: "I thought it would be another big battle, I don't know how many people in the Great Liang are gearing up to meet the big victory of the Northern Expedition of the country......
Chu Mad chuckled and said: "So, many smart people above the court have seen His Majesty's embarrassing situation, so they dare to blatantly exaggerate the strength of the enemy army, and what kind of peace is being discussed, isn't it just to find a fig leaf for Your Majesty?"
said and said slowly: "But after all, it is necessary to fight, even if you really want to negotiate peace, you have to fight a few battles before talking, otherwise, the people will not agree to it." But if you want Your Majesty to make up your mind to start another big war, it will be really difficult and difficult. ā
Chu Nan said with a smile: "It's good to have a fight, there is a place for you to vent your anger, it will drag on for a year and a half, and then a big fight will be enough." ā
Chu shook his head with a wild smile, not to mention that it was too long, who knows if the situation will be more embarrassing and worse than it is now, and he doesn't want to dwell on this topic, so he said: "I'm just going to hold it up, the matter of the big food is best dealt with by General Yang, my opponent is Hu Ren!"
Chu Nan knew that Chu Mad had no hatred in his heart, and he already hated Hu Ren to the core, so he shook his head with a smile and didn't speak.
In front of the Piaoxian Building is the lively street of the capital, from west to east across the palace not far away, through the capital, sitting upstairs you can see the countless pedestrians coming and going on the street downstairs, among which there are also all kinds of strange appearance of foreign merchants.
Chu Nan and Chu Mad are sitting, naturally the best seats in the Piaoxian Tower, and their horizons are the most open, at this moment, there are more and more people on the Piaoxian Tower, and from time to time someone comes to greet Chu Mad , after all, such a young general, wherever he is placed in the beam, it is all golden.
Chu Mad sent away a few acquaintances indifferently, and simply didn't look at other unfamiliar ones, and waited for a few people to retreat in embarrassment and shame, and finally no one was bored anymore.
Chu Nan looked at Chu Mad who was different from the gentle and polite before, and felt that some people were eavesdropping on the two of them, so he smiled and diverted the topic, and talked about some gossip, the Oiran of Xinyue Building, the old man and the five girls on Furong Street, and naturally Chu Yue's relatives and the health of the old lady, etc.
At this time, there were more than ten horses at the end of the street in front of Piaoxian Tower, all of them were high-headed horses, neatly dressed in Hu clothes, and the ones on the horse knew that they were Hu people, each with a strong bow on their backs.
More than ten Hu cavalry marched in a neat formation, attracting the fingers of the people in the capital, fortunately, Daliang had just won a big victory over the Hu people, and in the face of these defeated men, no one stepped forward to trouble them, at most they deliberately laughed loudly.
At the head of the horse was a young man, who looked a little thin, but his eyes were very bright, his arms were very strong, and even the longbow on his back was a size bigger than the others.
Chu Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at it carefully for a long time.
The young man also seemed to have sensed it, raised his head and looked upstairs, just to meet Chu Mad's gaze, and saw that Chu Mad seemed to be a little stunned, stunned for a moment, and then smiled at Chu Mad slightly.
Chu Madness slowly stood up, slapped the table and jumped downstairs, fiercely attacked the young man, and roared: "Bow and die!"
Shocking the bow is the most brilliant general on the Hu side during the Northern Expedition, the son-in-law of the Hu people's military god family, and the culprit who single-handedly destroyed most of the Yongzhou army!
There was a panic on the street, and the guards behind the frightened bow surrounded the frightened bow, drawing their knives in their hands one by one, and staring at Chu Mad.
Chu Nan also jumped down with Chu Mad, looking at the sister-in-law of the Hezhe clan of the Hu people's God of War family, who seemed to be a little young, and may also be the young man of the new generation of the Hu people's god of war, nodded lightly and said, "Shocking bow, don't come to harm." ā
The bow waved his hand, let the guards in front of him get out of the way, stepped forward gently, nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Brother Chu, don't come unharmed, I haven't seen him for three years." However, it seems that Brother Ling is really a little unfriendly to me. ā
Chu Mad looked back at Chu Nan, and didn't care about Chu Nan and Jing Gong's acquaintance, and said directly: "Luomapo let you escape death, it is already a blessing to invite heaven, and now you dare to come to the capital, what is it if you don't send you to death?"
The bow was a little unhappy, when he first became the ninth rank, he was almost slashed by the eighth-rank Chu Mad It was really a great shame, and now the realm is more stable, where did he put Chu Mad in his eyes, and sneered: "Do you really think I'm afraid that you won't succeed?" If you didn't want to kill a few more at that time, do you really think you can catch me?"
Chu Mad was immediately furious, the battle of Luomapo was definitely the scar that Chu Mahapo didn't want to be exposed, and he also sneered: "Then today I will let you remember your surname for a long time!"
After saying that, he didn't look for a weapon, but jumped up and hit the frightened bow on the horse!
The frightened bow was suddenly a little annoyed, he was stopped and fought in the capital of Daliang, and it was a shame to spread to the grassland, and the melee was not his own strength, and it was someone else's home field, and it was not good to order his subordinates to kill him, so he took the reins and dodged the horse, held the giant bow in his hand, and slashed at Chu Mad with the sharp spikes at the end of the bow.
Chu Mad came out to drink tea and chat with Chu Nan, wearing civilian clothes, naturally he didn't bring any weapons, he was shocked by the bow on the horse, and he relied on the weapon in his hand, and it was really difficult to get close for a while.
Jinggong didn't want to cause trouble, and said with some annoyance: "I am an envoy sent by the grassland to meet your emperor, is this the hospitality of your ceremonial state? As a general of Daliang, you attack the envoys of other countries for no reason, are you despising the majesty of your emperor?" Chu sneered and calmed down, but the death of his soldiers could not be forgotten, and he sneered while looking for weapons: "I am not a general of Daliang now, and it doesn't matter if you are a messenger or not, now there are some personal grievances to be resolved, and others can't say anything." ā
After saying that, his eyes lit up, and he walked forward quickly, snatching a bearded knife from the saddle of the guard beside him.
The frightened bow was also a little annoyed, but melee combat was not his strong point, and there was the unfathomable Chu Nan on the side, so naturally he couldn't watch the fierce Chu Madness seize the opportunity, and he couldn't care about any hidden strength, and as soon as the reins were mentioned, the horse suddenly stood up, and the frightened bow leaned back, pulled the giant bow in his hand, and let go of his hand, and the bowstring made a loud noise!
There are no arrows on the bow.
Chu Mad felt that an invisible arrow full of murderous intent cut through the air and shot towards his chest!
With a crisp sound, Chu Mad's beard knife in front of his chest was knocked out of a deep pit by an invisible arrow, Chu Mad's face changed greatly, and he quickly took a few steps back before standing firmly, and his eyes looked even more gloomy when he looked at the frightened bow.
Chu Nan was terrified, the invisible arrow of the rhino horn giant bow, this is the top secret of the Hezhe clan, known as the god of war, and the nine-grade arrow known as the world's first long-range attack!
