Chapter 309: Inexplicable heart palpitations
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
……
On the vast plain, a large number of cavalry launched an attack, like a rolling torrent, and pounced.
"Boom!"
An earth-shattering sound rang out, and everything that stood in the way of the iron hoof was drowned in the torrent.
In an instant, hundreds of people had lost their lives and turned into dust.
Seeing the brothers around him dying in pieces, Wang Cheng's eyes were split.
"Die!"
He roared wildly, slashing at his enemies again and again with a golden spear in his hand.
However, there were too many enemies, and even if he used his strongest killing move, Flying Rainbow through the Sun, it was only for a moment, and soon even he himself was overwhelmed by the enemy.
"No!"
Wang Cheng roared, and the thousands of troops and horses in front of him "snapped" like a mirror.
He subconsciously closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he saw the roof.
Where there are thousands of troops, it is not a battlefield, this is clearly his room.
It turned out to be a dream!
Wang Cheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, if that kind of scene really happened to him, it would be terrible!
"That's not right!"
He sat up from the bed abruptly, and this was probably the second time he had had a similar dream.
The last time was the night when he decided to lead his troops to raid Yanzhou, he dreamed that his group of men and horses had collided with the Xia army, and four of them were attacking him.
As a result, in the battle of Yanzhou, they really ran into the four Martial Sects, the difference is that in the end, he was alone against the four Martial Sects, and Zhu Pengfei and the others left separately.
"If I hadn't been separated from them that night......"
Wang Cheng's expression changed when he thought about it, if they hadn't been separated that night, everything in the dream would really have happened, and they would have collided head-on with Li Yuanqing's army.
"Is this another warning to me?"
The more Wang Cheng thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, as a person with mental power, with the improvement of cultivation, there would be a lot of supernatural things in the underworld.
It's like a dream, and the scene in the dream may be a pre-presentation of what is going to happen in the future.
"This could really be something that's about to happen!"
Thinking of this, Wang Cheng no longer had a trace of sleepiness on his body, and his brain was recalling the picture in the dream little by little.
"Enemy!"
"A lot!"
"Liuzhou!"
……
Wang Cheng connects the images that appear in the dream and extracts useful information.
Suddenly, the door creaked, interrupting his thoughts.
He came up angrily, and when he turned around, he saw a woman standing in front of the door.
In his twenties, he was good-looking, wearing a cool pink thin skirt, and his towering breasts held the thin skirt high, as if he could burst it at any time.
"It's you!"
Wang Cheng looked at the person who came, this woman was one of the ten beautiful maids that King Zhou rewarded him, called Li Fengyi.
Li Fengyi was so frightened by Wang Cheng's cold eyes that she didn't dare to raise her head, and muttered, "General, I'm ...... I just heard a voice coming from the room, so I came over to take a look. ”
When Wang Cheng heard this, his anger gradually receded, and he said, "It's nothing, you go down first." ”
"Yes!"
Li Fengyi answered, turned around and left, but before she could go out, she was stopped by Wang Cheng again.
"What time is it?" Wang Cheng asked.
Li Fengyi turned around and said, "Just past the ugly time." ”
"Is it only three o'clock?"
Wang Cheng muttered, then summoned Li Fengyi to the front and said, "You are a native of Kyoto, right?" ”
Li Fengyi nodded and said: "The ancestral home of the slave family is Kyoto, and my father was the Lang Zhongling of the former king. ”
"Lang Zhongling?" Wang Cheng was a little surprised.
Lang Zhongling's rank is not low, he is one of the nine kings, in charge of the palace guards, and is a high-ranking official close to the king of Zhou.
There are a number of subordinate officials under him, and there are doctors in charge of discussions; Responsible for the reception and send-off of guests and the reception of ministers; the princes who serve the court and wait to be ordained; as well as the Praetorian Guards such as Period Gate and Yulin.
With the accession of Zhou Zhaowu to the throne, Lang Zhongling was no longer Jiuqing and was replaced by a new official of the Six Ministries. Although he still has the name of Lang Zhongling, he no longer has the original rights.
After Zhou Zhaowu ascended the throne, he carried out a series of reforms to the court, localities, and the army. The most direct thing in the court is to cancel the three princes and nine secretaries, and use the new three provinces and six ministries.
In fact, the six ministries of the three provinces have begun to gradually replace the three princes and nine ministers as early as hundreds of years ago, but in Zhou Zhaowu's generation, they are more perfect.
Wang Cheng didn't expect that the woman in front of him was actually a high-ranking official, and he couldn't help but wonder: "The girl's father is a Lang Zhongling, why has he become this ...... now?"
He didn't continue, but anyone could understand the meaning of his words.
"Fifteen years ago, in the Kyoto Bloody Case, my father failed to block the masters of the Five Kingdoms, causing the gate of the palace to be broken by the enemy, and he was dismissed and investigated afterwards, and the slave and maid's family were also confiscated into slavery." Li Fengyi burst into tears.
Wang Cheng suddenly realized, no wonder Li Fengyi has the temperament of everyone's girlfriends, it turns out that people are originally everyone's girlfriends, but they just fell into despair later.
He couldn't help but sympathize with what happened to this woman, the bloody case fifteen years ago was not only injured by King Zhou's lineage?
After the incident, a large number of officials were liquidated, and many families were persecuted from the court to the localities.
Originally, it was the chaos caused by King Zhou's lineage, but in the end, many innocent people were implicated.
Wang Cheng sighed and said, "You have been living in Kyoto, what do the people of Kyoto say about me?" ”
Li Fengyi's eyes lit up, and she said: "The name of the general not only resounded in the court, but even the people of Kyoto knew that I was a great general in the Great Zhou, and I beat the Xia people with their heads scurry." ”
Wang Cheng smiled when he heard this, he didn't care much about the people's discussions, what he really cared about was the court, because that was the place that could really determine his military career.
He muttered: "So, do you know some of the voices about me in the court? ”
"The slave maid used to stay in the Workshop Division, where officials often came and went." Li Fengyi said.
Wang Cheng did not look down on Li Fengyi because of this, because the Jiaofang was an official office that managed court music, and it was subordinate to the Ministry of Rites, not a brothel as some people said.
"What do those officials say about me?"
"The general is young and has made many military exploits, many people compare the general to the hussar general of the past, and only Ning Hou can be compared to the general in the world."
"Isn't there anything bad about it?"
"Yes! It is said that the general's wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it, and if the general does not restrain it, it will not end well in the future. ”
"Oh? This is not a bad review, are there any other comments? ”
"Some people also say that the general's hands are covered with blood, that he is an executioner, a butcher, and that he hurts the heavens and the peace. The king should not reuse the generals, otherwise it will bring disaster. ”
"Huh! It's a unique comment, but it's not unreasonable, I do have blood on my hands. ”
……
Before you know it, the sky is already bright.
Wang Cheng was still wearing the shorts and shorts, and walked out of the general's mansion refreshed.
Just like yesterday, he led thousands of his men to continue the five-kilometer workout, and then continued to climb the mountain.
Unlike yesterday, Wang Cheng asked everyone to bring water and dry food, because he was going further this time.
Although they only walked on the periphery, it was a ridge, and there were very few people who had been here, so most of them were in a barren area.
Wang Cheng was still at the front of the line, and every 100 meters or so, he would stop to take a look and mark some of the features on the map.
"General, what exactly are you going to do here?" Cheng Yi finally couldn't help but ask.
Wang Cheng said: "It's just an idea, whether it can be implemented depends on the road ahead." ”
Cheng Yi was speechless, listening to the general's meaning, they still have to continue to walk along here.
It wasn't until the evening that Wang Cheng led thousands of people down the mountain.
Standing at the foot of the mountain, he looked at the vast mountain range, and a sense of powerlessness arose in his heart.
The Nanli Mountain Range is really too long, it is a natural barrier, but it also blocks the ears and eyes of the people of Nanli County, not to mention the wind and grass, even if there is a big movement, it is impossible for the people of Nanli County to know at the first time.
However, Wang Cheng will not give up, not only will he not give up, but he will also speed up.
Back in the county seat, night had fallen, and after disbanding the team, he returned to the general's mansion.
As soon as he entered the door, he met Liu Qingsheng waiting anxiously there, and he quickly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Liu Qingsheng glanced behind Wang Cheng, Wang Cheng immediately understood, and led the person into the study.
"Say it! What the hell is going on? ”
Liu Qingsheng no longer held back, and said, "General, the results of the negotiations with the Xia people have come out." ”
"Oh?"
Wang Cheng knew that the imperial court was negotiating peace with the Xia State, but the specific results had not been announced to the public.
Now that he learned that the results of the negotiations were out, he was curious: "Tell me!" What is the result? ”
Liu Qingsheng said: "The Xia people asked our people to withdraw from Ji County. ”
"Quitting Kei County?"
Wang Cheng frowned, and said: "Ji County is the territory of our Great Zhou, and I fought it with my brothers with a knife and a gun, how could I withdraw like this?" ”
His face was full of anger, and he hurriedly asked Liu Qingsheng: "The king agreed?" ”
Seeing Liu Qingsheng nodding, Wang Cheng stood up with a "Huo" and said, "How can the king agree?" ”
In his mind, Zhou Zhaowu is definitely a promising king, and he also led his troops to kill the enemy at the beginning, and it is impossible for Zhou Zhaowu to agree to such an unreasonable request.
"The general doesn't know, Zheng Guo and Lu Guo have moved, and even the Mengwu State has not been honest recently!" Liu Qingsheng said.
Wang Cheng's expression changed, and he couldn't help but think of the Five Kingdoms Raiding Zhou, is the Xia Kingdom going to be tinkering again?
One country against many countries, even if the Great Zhou Dynasty has been recuperating for more than ten years, it is impossible to be the enemy of many countries.
But he still didn't want to believe that Zhou Zhaowu would agree to Xia Guo so easily, so he asked again: "What did the king say?" No requirements at all? ”
"What the king means is that those treasures and classics that were robbed by the Xia people fifteen years ago must be returned in full, otherwise they will not hesitate to fight again!" Liu Qingsheng said.
Wang Cheng nodded secretly, this is the King of Zhou he is familiar with-Zhou Zhaowu.
But then he listened to Liu Qingsheng again: "Actually, Xia Guo has another negotiation plan. It is to hand over the adults, and Ji County has since returned to the Great Zhou. ”
Wang Cheng didn't expect Xia Guo to propose such an exchange condition, and couldn't help laughing at himself: "I didn't expect that my Wang Cheng's value is so great, one person tops a city." ”
However, the king categorically disagreed with this plan, but some of the ministers of the court felt that this plan was very suitable, and they felt that the value of a city was far greater than that of adults. If you sacrifice one adult, you can take Ji County into your pocket, and Da Zhou can attack Xia at any time in the future. Liu Qingsheng said.
Wang Cheng sneered: "Those people in the DPRK and China dare not dare to stick out their fangs against their own family, but they don't dare to make external enemies!" ”
Liu Qingsheng shook his head and said, "Hey! These people have been comfortable for a long time, and once there is a war, their power and wealth will be gone, how can they consider the bloody battles of the border soldiers? ”
He then said: "However, after this negotiation, I want to come to the Great Zhou and Xia countries to usher in a period of stability. ”
"Safe?"
Wang Cheng looked at the void and said in a complicated tone: "Will there really be a stable life?" ”
