Devil’s Advent - Vol 4 Chapter 41
“This is a battle destined to go down in history.”
Huang Gonggong rode on horseback with emotion;
His right shoulder was bandaged, and his left cheek was covered with special bandages made by the Jindong Army’s military doctors. He looked a little funny and embarrassed.
Yes, Father Huang came off the court himself again. He held the knife, he rode a horse, followed a group of Yan army knights, and chased the fleeing Chu Sergeant soldiers.
Then, father-in-law Huang accidentally fell off the war horse and fell to him. When he landed, he wanted to show the courage of our family and the courage of the past, trying to make himself bounce with the palm of his hand;
As a result, under the effect of that little energy, his arm was broken. Not only did he fail to support his figure, but his face was stuck to the ground, making a big hole.
This injury was a bit embarrassing, but Father Huang didn’t pay much attention to these details. It would be good to go back with some injuries;
Is this an injury?
Do not,
This is brilliance!
According to the military merits and rules of the Jindong Army, the profit and the prisoners will be divided according to the corresponding overall division of labor. Therefore, since Huang Gonggong joined the military operation, even if he was injured in the middle and left the field, his Under the name, there is still one and a half captive merits.
The meritorious officer Guo Dong thoughtfully classified Huang Gonggong’s semi-captive merits into one.
Gong Gong, who had been shaved off, was happy in his heart and gave Guo Dong a small jade snuff bottle that he had next to him.
The Jindong Army has strict military discipline, and it is a big crime to greet ink and lie to report military merits;
However, Guo Dong is cutting his military merits, and the victim has no objection at all, so naturally it has nothing to do with the guilt;
And Huang Gonggong, holding this military merit list, after returning to Beijing, he could say that he was not talented, and he captured an enemy chieftain on the battlefield.
Avoid the embarrassment of explaining the extra “half”.
Accompanied by Mr. Huang was Liu Dahu.
“The people of Chu tried their best to exaggerate this battle. In the past few years, they even changed the names of the three counties and took the names of the three witch gods. Therefore, there was a battle of the three witches in Chu, and even the battle of the witch gods. The statement;
Now it seems that the witch **** can’t save Chu people.
However, this battle is a good match with this name in the history books, what do you think? ”
Liu Dahu nodded and said:
“If I go back to my father-in-law, I don’t have much literacy in a humble job.”
“It’s humble, it’s modest.” Of course, Duke Huang knew that Liu Dahu was the one who could criticize the military folds for the regent. “In the folds our family gave to your majesty, the four words ‘War of the Witch’s God’ are used, hehe.”
Liu Dahu also smiled.
“After this war, the Chu country can’t get up completely. The four great kingdoms of the summer, the Jin country was destroyed early, and the Chu country was beaten to the ground, leaving a dry country. Haha, you don’t need to fight it. Waste.
Master Xiandi, the unification of all the summers that my Majesty Dayan has been thinking about in the past dynasties is really right in front of my eyes.
Our family is fortunate to be born in this era, our family is fortunate to be shy, in a handsome tent, and to stand beside our prince.
Don’t you know,
That kid Wei Zhonghe, facing the defensive prince’s ‘appreciation’, has now become a joke. ”
“I’ve heard of the humble job.”
“Haha, right, let me tell you that every time the old man hears someone mention this, his face turns pale.”
Father Huang is not afraid of Father Wei.
Maybe I was afraid before, but now I’m indifferent long ago.
Even if you, Wei Zhonghe, a qi refiner who has cultivated two generations of emperors, you should be your confidant,
But can you be the mascot in the army!
“By the way, where is the prince now?”
“I’m afraid that the Weihe River has already been crossed.”
“Then we won’t be able to catch up.”
“The father-in-law is not in a hurry, just walk slowly. In fact, the prince meant that the father-in-law can stay in Zhennanguan to recover from his injuries.
“This can’t be done, this can’t be done, my Dayan is not his country. Where is the principle of the prince fighting in the front and the father-in-law drinking tea at the back, no matter where the prince is now, as long as the front is ahead, our family still has Catch up.
Nothing else, at least our family can hold the prince’s side with a cup of tea and hand over water or something, anyway, there are few things that can compare to our family in this world. ”
When the two of them rode, from time to time along the way, the Yan army escorted the prisoners of the Chu army marching northward.
The Chu army fled, the Yan army chased;
The killing of prisoners is naturally impossible to prevent, but under the king’s order, all ministries and towns have maintained great restraint, and for the sake of military merit, they have to accept the killing intent in their hearts.
“There are so many prisoners of war, how much food do they have to feed.” Huang Gonggong said with emotion.
“This little country of Chu has been shot down. Father-in-law should be worried about how many people will be needed to grow food for such a large piece of land.”
Hearing this, Duke Huang suddenly lowered his neck, let his mount lean against Liu Dahu, and whispered:
“Brother Big Tiger, just tell our family, has the prince mentioned how to settle this newly-built site?”
There is a county in Fancheng, Quicksand, Sansuo, and Shanggu county, these four counties, and the three counties that will soon fall with the loss of the main force, this is seven counties. Its area is much larger than that of Jindong.
How to install such a large site naturally has to give an explanation.
Is it possible that the idea of Wangtu in the whole world is not applicable in Dayan, because Jindong has long been used to being a country within a country.
Liu Dahu replied: “Father-in-law, it is natural that my prince and your prince will go down to discuss this matter.
Grandpa Huang nodded, not feeling that Liu Dahu’s words were just perfunctory, but deeply agreed with:
“That’s, that’s, you can’t say that your majesty and the prince have already set the regulations early.”
…
Later, Huang Gonggong, accompanied by Liu Dahu, continued to rush on the road;
Ahead, the Regent Dayan had already passed the Weihe River and stood on the riverside.
After the frontline collapsed, the Chu army in the rear had no intention of trying to turn the tide. In fact, the army in the front was always the most elite at any time.
If you really want to turn the tide, you will only be engulfed by the massive defeats ahead, which will trigger a series of subsequent collapses.
Therefore, Xie Yu’an, the trilateral governor of the Chu people, immediately ordered the Chu State Navy to turn around and retreat in all directions.
When the Yan people’s forward army arrived here, they faced the almost undefended Weihe line of defense.
Zheng Fan was sitting on horseback, his eyes fell on the tombstone group.
During the previous withdrawal, the guards of Jinyi asked Zheng Fan to take Paoze’s bones back, but Zheng Fan refused.
Now, the Yan army has once again won the victory, even if the grave here is dug up to expose the corpse wilderness, these army members, whether they are dead or alive, will actually not care.
However, the tombstone has not been destroyed and even some decorations have been added.
Obviously, the Chu Army deliberately protected this area, and there was no way to vent his anger, no matter when he fought over or when he retreated.
Zheng Fan also saw the inscription of Xie Yu’an on the newly established tombstone.
Perhaps, the Xie Jia Qianliju had already prepared for this in his heart, and he did not completely do everything.
Because everyone knows that Dayan’s regent is a sentimental person, but he did it more than once for the people he cared about.
The blind man stepped forward and said: “Lord, the news that I have just received, Jin Shu has already taken Moya County, and Li Chenghui has also taken Wenqiu County.”
Zheng Fan nodded, and said, “The Chu people retreated really simply.”
“Yes.” The blind man laughed, “The remnants will be shrunk in Shangyang County, and after that, they will be the capital of Chu State.”
It can be said that in the original Gyeonggi of Chu, people with a sense of regional superiority can be found, and there is only a barrier to becoming a frontier citizen.
“It’s a pity that many of our main forces are still capturing prisoners in Shanggu County. Otherwise, they can try to take advantage of the situation to enlist Shangyang County as well.”
“The war is not fought like that.” Zheng Fan rejected the blind man’s statement. “Fist, when you go out, you have to leave a bit of strength to make a maneuver. There is no need to fight all out.
In this national war, we all fought steadily and steadily, and it was Chu people who were anxious to the end at the risk of betting on everything.
We were not in a hurry before, but now, naturally we don’t have to worry.
What’s the point of taking down Shangyang County impatiently?
It’s nothing more than the addition of the former Shanggu County. Is it possible that you still want to take advantage of the situation once and for all to take down the Chu Kingdom and Gyeonggi at the same time?
I’m really going to get too excited, be careful to fall again. ”
“What the Lord said is that the meat is already in the bowl, it’s nothing more than letting it cool for a while.”
“However, Sangyang County does not need to fight, and Chu State and Gyeonggi may not fight for a while, but there are some things that have to be done.
Do you know what the son-in-law likes most when he goes back to his daughter-in-law’s family? ”
The blind man smiled knowingly and said, “Be generous.”
“Hahaha.”
Zheng Fan also laughed and said, “Yes, let her family see that the man she chose was correct.
After all, the girl and her mother eloped with me back then. ”
The blind man nodded and said, “Master, the subordinates feel that Emperor Chu’s family will definitely be very pleased that his sister did not choose the wrong man.”
“Send someone to order Jin Shuke, and let him lead the army to clear the way for me first. I’m going to walk the horse under his Yingdu city.”
“Subordinates understand.”
Zheng Fan’s eyes fell to the tombstone there again, saying:
“Oh, by the way, blind man, when the war started before, the team that sent you the song came in, what do you think was the chief behind?”
“Lord, the Qi refiners of Chu are presented in the manner of witches, but the means of possessing the old man is clearly not the style of witches in Chu;
Furthermore, the fate and destiny are often mentioned, and Zhu Xia was also mentioned. His subordinates guessed that there should be a force that has been waiting for the so-called destiny to come and take advantage of the trend.
You know, those gas refiners are most superstitious about this. ”
“But on the battlefield, no one saw them.”
“Yes, the master should be clearer, those gas refiners are also the most embarrassed.”
“Hehe, under the general situation, they can’t get over any waves. However, since you have taken a sharp point, don’t want to drown anymore. When the situation stabilizes, you and San’er are responsible for digging deeply.”
“Subordinates will.”
“Now, I am not afraid of thousands of troops and horses, anyway, whether Qianchu or other small countries, will not be my opponent.
On the contrary, these things hidden under the water, perhaps, not just gas refiners;
In short,
Their presence makes me uncomfortable. ”
“The subordinates are the same, please rest assured, the subordinates will personally lead the investigation of the matter after the war has settled down, and they will definitely help the chief to find them out.”
“it is good.”
…
The remnants of the Chu Army stayed in Shangyang County, but they were not in control of the entire territory, but confined to a few big cities.
They watched the Yanjun cavalry passing through their field of vision, but they had already lost the courage to take the initiative to go out of the city to meet the interception, even if they knew in their hearts that the rear was their capital.
But what can I do?
The soldiers were already afraid of swallows like tigers, and they were completely smashed into battle;
Even those generals, even if they wanted to be loyal to your Majesty, understood that at this moment, to force the soldiers to go out to face the Yan Ren, except to give the Yan Ren military merits, it had no other effect.
A hundred years ago, after the first generation of Zhenbeihou broke through the 500,000 troops of the country, without follow-up reinforcements and support, he led a small number of cavalry, and even went to the three counties of the country, which is now the three sides;
He had this mentality at that time, he could only watch it and didn’t dare to go up and fight again.
After Yan Jun entered Gyeonggi, he did not encounter too many obstacles.
After the news of the frontline defeat came back, all of Chu’s power in Gyeonggi was concentrated in Yingdu;
In Yingdu, there was also an aura of anxiety.
Who said Yan Ren once entered the capital and burned everything in a big fire?
Today, the King of Yan’s Jingnan is no longer there, but the regent who has inherited the mantle of the King of Jingnan, he came, and he still destroyed the army of Da Chu.
This kind of restless mood is boiling in the people and the court.
…
“Did you lose the battle?”
“Yes, mother queen.”
“Where is Tingshan?”
“Said he was killed in battle.”
Emperor Chu peeled off a litchi and put it into the mouth of his mother’s queen.
The Queen Mother Da Chu sat on the chair, opened her mouth, ate the lychees, and chewed slowly in her mouth.
a long time,
The queen mother looked at the emperor,
Asked
“Can you still get up?”
Emperor Chu was silent.
“My mother, what can’t you say?”
“It’s difficult.” Chu Huang gave the answer.
The queen mother stretched out her hand and placed it on the back of Chu Huang’s hand:
“Actually, Wei Niang doesn’t have much attachment to the world of the Xiong family, so don’t be too tired.”
“Mother and queen, the son is fighting for the throne himself. In any case, the son can only go down this road.”
“Yan, will you break into the capital?”
“For a while, I’m afraid I won’t be able to fight in.”
“What about?”
“That son, go to Chu Nan.”
The queen mother nodded and said: “I am old for my mother, and when I am old, I feel that life and death are the burial of the emperor’s mausoleum or the burial mat. It is nothing more than the dead bones.
Just make your own decision, and Madam can’t give you any advice. ”
“Son understands.”
Emperor Chu stood up and said: “Mother, my son has to settle down for a while.”
“Go ahead.”
“Children retired.”
Emperor Chu turned and walked outside.
As the distance between the mother and child grows farther,
The original kindness on the face of the Queen Mother is gradually getting away, replaced by more and more bitter resentment.
Suddenly,
Huang Chu’s footsteps stopped, and the bitterness on the queen mother’s face was frozen.
“Mother Queen.”
“Is there anything else, emperor?”
Chu Huang didn’t turn around, it was disrespectful;
But the queen mother did not even cover her voice, filled with disgust.
“Do you think your son is a good emperor?”
“of course.”
“But I don’t think so, haha.”
Emperor Chu walked out of the Queen Mother’s bedroom.
“Queen Mother, Your Majesty has left.” The close female officer stepped forward.
“Snapped!”
The queen mother slapped the female officer’s face,
“He… is not the emperor!”
…
Yingdu, the tower.
The emperor in a dragon robe stood at the highest point and withdrew everything.
Below, there is a group of Phoenix Nest Guards for protection.
The walls are also full of defenders;
In the distance, a piece of dust appeared, with iron horses swept in.
Chu Huang put his hands on the railing in front of him,
Smiled:
“Look, I was hit in the face again. Last time you could still say that you deliberately borrowed Yan Ren’s knife to get rid of the noble carrion from this Da Chu body;
Then,
What about this time?
You ah you,
Always have a high self-esteem. ”
After Chu Huang said these words, he waited for a long time.
“Why, I’m not talking anymore? Did you acquiesce in it? Is your spirit gone?
This is not like you;
Back then, when you chose to swallow me, you were so heroic, swallowing the world with anger.
Or, are you too lazy to bother with me, want to accumulate strength, and then suppress me back?
I do not deny,
You may be able to succeed a few more times,
But your great Chu now has broken mountains and rivers, and your imperial spirit is also broken. How long can you suppress me again?
I can give you a suggestion,
Go to sleep, go to sleep, I will live for you.
People of Chu are not people who pretend to be Fire Phoenix, I… will treat them kindly, ha ha. ”
Some distance below the city, the Yan Ren cavalry lined up, and the Chu army on the wall was like a big enemy. It was clear that the Yan army had no plans to attack the city, but the Chu army hurriedly placed all the guards that could be prepared on the wall. on.
At this time, the Yan army struck Wang Qi in the formation.
Wang Qi stood up,
The expression of Emperor Chu, who was standing on the high tower, suddenly changed.
His hands,
She began to tremble, and her eyes were mocking before, and she was instantly filled with fear.
“Knife, knife, knife!”
Emperor Chu yelled these three words on his face, and in the midst of it, he seemed to see a knife slashing towards him, and he screamed bitterly under the knife.
“Ahhhhh!!!”
Emperor Chu leaned back;
A group of hive guards hurried up to the tower, but immediately heard the emperor’s voice:
“Go back.”
“According to the purpose.”
Upstairs,
Emperor Chu raised his head again, his hair was already wet with sweat, and his knuckles had already turned white.
“Beast, you think that Chu State is broken and our imperial spirit is weakened, you have a chance, right?
Without moving your mind to think about it,
If this great Chu is completely dead,
Of course, this emperor I can’t be considered,
What about you
Without Da Chu, without Chu people,
In the future,
Who will worship, no, who will remember the Fire Phoenix Totem?
Without Da Chu,
Do you think there will be you? ”
…
Under the city wall~www.mtlnovel.com~ What Zheng Fan did not expect was that soon after the Wang Qi on his side was erected, the King of Chu’s King Wulong was erected on the city wall.
“Coincidentally, isn’t it, Lord, your elder brother is actually here waiting for you.”
Zheng Fan smiled.
Waved his hand forward,
Immediately,
A group of Yanjun knights rode forward, facing the towering city wall,
Shout in unison:
“The regent Dayan is back to Ning today, please ask the Lord Chu to prepare a banquet!”
