Devil’s Advent

Chapter 556 Banquet!

Uncle Zheng was walking forward, with the Juggernaut beside him.

A little ahead, a group of soldiers were carrying the corpses ahead, clearing the way, and closer, there were four soldiers, each with a big broom, pushing away the blood on the ground.

Because uncle's boots would be uncomfortable if he stepped on the filthy blood.

In fact, Uncle Zheng is not so hypocritical. When he was fighting Dongshan Fort a while ago, he could go down to kill the enemy himself with a knife, but if conditions permit, why bother himself?

Life requires more sense of ritual, and your own enjoyment is actually secondary. The key is your ritual, and the soldiers under your hands like to watch it very much.

Originally, someone was sent to escort the captured people to the pier, but Uncle Zheng refused, so he decided to go to Jingcheng himself to see.

At this time, a messenger soldier with a tricolor flag on his back rushed over, knelt down and reported:

Master Hou, General Liang found a batch of Chu people's armored uniforms in the warehouse in the city, and asked for troops to be dispatched.

allow.

Uncle Zheng usually doesn't care about what Ah Cheng wants to do, anyway, he's right to listen to him.

People deliberately sent someone over to ask for instructions, in order to save face for themselves.

Here!

The messenger soldier ran back and returned.

On the side, Juggernaut smiled and said:

Lord Hou?

Zheng Fan smiled and said, Let them go.

When I gave the order earlier, the soldiers below started shouting Hou Ye has an order and so on.

The low-level soldiers may not be standing high enough, but they all understand what it means to the hundreds of thousands of Chu troops in Zhennan Pass when people like themselves appear in Jingcheng.

A feat far surpassing that of rushing thousands of miles to the Snow Customs, is just around the corner!

Some soldiers arbitrarily changed the title of Uncle to Hou Ye.

There is another layer of meaning, that is, the big guy firmly believes that this battle must be won, and the uncle must be named Marquis!

Therefore, at this time, Zheng Fan will not correct their mistakes in addressing, nor will he look at what time it is or where it is right now.

In the past, after Tian Wujing was deprived of his prince, many soldiers still called him prince, which is actually a reason.

Of course, while you enjoy this kind of military spirit, you will inevitably be pushed away by the people below.

After reaching a certain level, probably, the yellow robe is added to the body.

The Juggernaut is no stranger to the fact that everyone knows the heart of Uncle Hirano, but the Juggernaut still asked:

Next, are you staying here?

The attack on Jingcheng was successful, and according to the normal development, the next step should be to stay here firmly and block the connection between Zhennan Pass and Chudi.

Zheng Fan shook his head, then nodded again,

road:

Defense is definitely necessary, but it doesn't have to be that way. There are many ways to defend the city. In fact, now, our army has already attacked.

What was Liang Cheng's request earlier? The Sword Master asked.

He doesn't know anything about military affairs, but he likes to ask questions.

Uncle Zheng nodded and said, Yes.

At this time, from the north city gate, an army dressed in Chu army armor and carrying the Chu people's flag was rushing out of the city.

With a low shout from the leading general,

The soldiers and horses that were originally in an orderly formation suddenly became loose and dejected, and many people deliberately wiped their faces with some blood from the dead bodies nearby.

A defeated army headed north.

Pass down the order...

Uncle Zheng pointed to the nearby corpses and ordered:

Throw all the corpses inside and outside the city into the Wei River.

Let the corpses continue to float along the wide Weihe River, so that the people of Chu in the lower reaches can really see that the Chu army in front of them has been defeated, and there are countless casualties.

This kind of panic is not only for the Chu army in Zhennanguan in the north, but also for the Chu people in the rear. It is impossible to say that there will be many floating corpses flowing into the Mi River along the tributaries.

Let the Chu nobles who only know to go on a boat on the Mi River to drink and enjoy theater experience the horror of war for themselves.

They should have experienced war, and the situation in Chu State is not all smooth sailing.

Let's talk about the near ones if they are not far away. During the chaos of the princes a few years ago, the scale of soldiers and horses used was not insignificant.

But Chudi, it had been a long time since he had felt the invasion of external enemies so clearly.

Even the 40,000 dead souls of the Chu army under Yupan City last time also died in Jindi.

It should be very difficult for him, the Regent of Great Chu, to forcibly gather the power of the nobles to unify the outside world with his own means;

Uncle Zheng felt that he, as an uncle, could work too hard for those who could,

so,

He doesn't mind giving big brother more money.

When the knife is on your neck,

When your skin has sensed the coldness of the forest,

I don't believe that you can continue to be monolithic!

After entering the city, the streets on both sides can be said to be lined with soldiers. In the newly broken city, any accidents are not accidents, so we should pay more attention to the protection of uncle.

Fortunately, Jingcheng is not very big, so let's take a walk around and pay attention to the dirt on the ground. Not long after, Uncle Zheng and the Juggernaut came to the Chengshou Mansion together.

The gate of the city guard's mansion was dripping with blood, but the inside was much cleaner.

Seeing that the general situation was over, the last group of guards of the city guard directly chose to flee and surrender, and there were not many fights inside.

in the yard,

Uncle Zheng looked around,

Said to the Juggernaut beside him:

I always thought that Ganren's gardens were excellent, but now I see that Churen's gardens are really unique.

Qianren's gardens pay more attention to cultural atmosphere, while Chu people's gardens pay more attention to nature.

The Juggernaut said, Someone reported to you earlier that the city guard's surname is Jing?

Yes, it's called Jing Suyuan.

That's right, the largest garden in the Chu Kingdom is not in Yingdu, but in Jing's.

The Jing family of Great Chu does not raise private soldiers, and is known as the family of the Great Chu culture. Because of this, most of Jing's thoughts are actually spent on three aspects: how to be elegant, how to be more elegant, and how to be the most elegant.

Jing Suyuan came to Jingcheng to be the city guard, and in order to enjoy himself, he deliberately repaired the garden in the city guard's mansion according to Jing's aesthetics, which is also normal.

The aristocrats have to eat well, drink well, and be in a good mood, so that they can have the mood to care about the low-level people, and then write poems, every grain is hard work.

Of course, as an aggressor, Zheng Fan is not qualified to criticize this or that.

Although he was born in Qianshou, Hutou City, his ass has long been on the side of the rich and powerful.

At this time, Siniang came over and said with a smile: My lord, I have hired a cook. I think the craftsmanship is pretty good. The ingredients are all ready, and I can cook them anytime.

Uncle Zheng nodded, pointed here, and said:

Here, set a table.

The furniture was all ready-made, and the guards immediately brought a round table made of pear blossom wood and three square-patterned road chairs.

The tea set and tea leaves are also the best.

Uncle Zheng sat down first, and at the same time signaled the Juggernaut to sit with him.

The Juggernaut was not polite and sat down.

Siniang poured two cups of tea and placed them in front of Uncle Zheng and the Sword Master.

The Juggernaut bowed his head, took a sip, nodded slightly, and said;

Good tea.

Uncle Zheng pursed his lips, put down the cup, and said:

It's still a little worse than Daze Xiangtong.

Because he was only impressed by Daze Xiangtong.

The Juggernaut smiled and remained silent.

Uncle Zheng turned his head to look at Siniang, and said, Build an earthen stove in front, let the cook cook there, and we will watch.

Yes, my lord.

Soon, simple earthen stoves began to be built over there, and the cook and his wife also walked over tremblingly, and Qiqi knelt down in front of Zheng Fan.

What's your name? Uncle Zheng asked.

In the case of the nobleman, the villain's name is Niu Dongguan.

Niu Dongguan, let's cook, Ben is hungry.

Yes Yes.

Niu Dongguan and his wife got up, and they immediately went to the earthen stove to get busy.

Siniang walked over and stood by the earthen stove, watching.

With her watching, even if this honest-looking cook really wanted to be a hero and poison his wife and children, he would never have the chance.

The Juggernaut said, Is there something wrong?

The Juggernaut didn't care about the corpses strewn across the field on the way into the city before, but he cared that the cook who had been captured cooked food for the two of them in front of them. Some, it was too crushing.

Uncle Zheng smiled and said:

This is to help him make his name. If he really cooks delicious food, he will be a chef in the future. Besides, watching the master cook is a kind of... craftsman spirit.

Artisan spirit?

Some people like this tune.

You like it?

I'm okay.

Niu Dongguan's first dish started to cook, and soon, the aroma wafted over.

It's hard to imagine that you are so busy now that you are actually waiting for dinner seriously.

Uncle Zheng said: I'm not idle, besides, what I'm doing now is a very meaningful thing, maybe thousands of years later, the dish he cooks today will become a famous dish in some place.

Whenever people in the future eat this dish, they will think of what happened to us today.

Even, there will be a sign hanging in the restaurant, telling diners specifically, the origin of this dish and that dish, we here, can be regarded as immortal.

That counts?

Of course.

No, there is still a difference. The Juggernaut continued, If Yan merges with Chu in the future, it will be a beautiful story, and you will be the most beautiful; if Chu continues to exist in the future, then he will probably be the most beautiful. In order to save his wife and children, With superb cooking skills, I have satisfied Yan Guoping Ye Bo, who kills people without blinking an eye.

Hahahaha, interesting, interesting, I didn't expect you to say that.

The sword sage said, Don't all the storytellers in Jianghu make up stories like this?

He, Yu Huaping, has long since lost count of how many stories have been made up by people in the Jianghu.

In the past, when traveling around the world, I passed by teahouses and taverns to rest and eat, and listened to the storytellers or other tea drinkers and drinkers inside chatting and chatting. Many times I listened for a long time until they said their names.

Only then did Yu Huaping realize:

oh,

That's me.

That's right, that's right, but it doesn't matter if it's the wise and mighty Uncle Hirano who ate a delicious meal here, or the vicious executioner Zheng Tu who forced a famous chef to cook a meal for himself here;

After all,

Maybe decades later, someone will distinguish this, but after hundreds of years, even if Chu State is still there, no one will distinguish whether Benbo is loyal or traitor, good or bad.

All he cares about is whether he is famous or not. Ben Bo thinks that he should be famous.

Juggernaut tasted these words and said:

You see a level deeper than I do.

hehe.

The dishes are starting to come up.

Cuisine in Chudi places emphasis on fresh characters, trying to maintain the original taste of the food, but it actually pays more attention to the level of the chef, and the dishes that are often heavy in oil and taste are relatively simple.

Uncle Zheng glanced at Si Niang who was standing over there, and Si Niang nodded.

Please use.

Uncle Zheng made a please gesture to the Juggernaut;

The Juggernaut picked up the chopsticks, picked up the dish, and put it in his mouth.

good.

The Juggernaut looked at Uncle Zheng, only to find that Uncle Zheng was holding chopsticks in his hand, and on the other side, He Chunlai was helping him to iron the chopsticks and bowls with boiling water.

... Juggernaut.

After scalding and washing, Uncle Zheng picked up the vegetables,

Well, yes.

Uncle Zheng and Juggernaut ate the dishes in a leisurely manner.

After all, there were only two cooks, and it was impossible to make a Manchurian feast, but it was easy to say, and I cooked eight dishes, and none of them were cold dishes. Finally, fish soup began to simmer in the iron pot.

At this time, after the outside affairs were settled, generals such as Gongsun Zhi, Gong Wang and Gou Moli also came here.

Everyone originally wanted to come and listen to Uncle Zheng to make the next arrangement, but seeing Uncle Zheng sitting there leisurely enjoying the food, they felt that it should be taken for granted.

When you are victorious,

all your actions,

They will be automatically filled with inscrutable brains by your subordinates.

Come on, let's eat together, I worked hard on the boat.

Uncle Zheng beckoned.

Uncle Xie.

Uncle Xie.

The guard next to him brought a stool again.

The generals were not polite, and they all picked up their bowls and chopsticks and started to eat, but none of them sat down, they all stood by the table.

most of the time,

The status gap will be clear.

It will happen naturally, even without being reminded.

Shaoqing,

The Juggernaut sighed, and also stood up to eat.

He can actually sit and eat, because no one present would think that he is not qualified to sit and eat.

Because everyone knows that if this Lord Juggernaut wants to, he can choose any person at the dinner table to pierce his chest with a sword, and the chosen one has almost no chance of surviving.

And the reason why the Juggernaut didn't sit down,

the reason is simple,

The generals around him are equivalent to the family generals of Uncle Hirano;

Gongsun Zhi and Gong Wang entrusted their children to Uncle Hirano, and they already consider themselves to be half of the family.

My lord sits,

The generals stand,

This is as it should be,

Generally speaking, the one who sits and eats with the lord is...

mistress.

The Juggernaut can also flick his sleeves, stop eating and leave the table.

But that would be too ostentatious, as if he cared about this little bit of integrity.

What's more, just after winning a battle, there is no need to spoil everyone's happiness by sweeping away the haze and depression that have been on the ship for so long.

so,

at the dinner table,

Uncle Zheng didn't say hello to the big guy anymore, and sat down to eat together, but continued to pick up vegetables and eat naturally;

The rest of the generals and Juggernaut also ate naturally.

The fish soup is ready. Niu Dongguan shouted.

He was trembling before, but after he started cooking, his mood calmed down more and more.

Siniang personally brought the first bowl of fish soup and put it in front of Uncle Zheng.

Uncle Zheng picked it up and blew lightly.

At this time,

There are messenger soldiers rushing in from outside:

Report!!!!!!!!! General Liang and General Jin defeated the Chu army in Zhengbei to help the Chu army in Jingcheng! General Liang's headquarters and General Jin's headquarters have divided their forces and continue to move forward.

count the time,

It's almost there.

After Liang Cheng broke the city, he took a troop and headed north early.

Because the Weihe River is to the south, the soldiers and civilians who had fled before in Jingcheng's territory all also faced north.

The reaction and action of the Chu army stationed closest must also be the fastest.

But when the Chu army came to this side for rescue, they must have encountered one after another fleeing soldiers and civilians on the road.

In the narratives of these soldiers and civilians, the Yan people will be like magic soldiers descending from the sky, and the number is often many times exaggerated than the real situation.

This is normal, if the Yan people are not strong, how could they run away? Second, under the panic and confusion, it is almost impossible for ordinary people, even ordinary soldiers, to figure out the number of enemy troops in a short period of time, unless they are seasoned and experienced spies.

There are tens of thousands of people, it's like Wuyang Wuyang, you can't go to the sky to look down, how can ordinary soldiers and civilians be counted when they are surrounded by crowds?

Therefore, although the message sent back by the messenger soldier is very concise, everyone present can make up their minds.

There are quite a few Chu people's armor and flags stored in Jingcheng, which is much more than the Fan family sent earlier, and it is not an order of magnitude at all.

Therefore, when the Chu army that rushed to rescue Jingcheng recently and urgently gathered up the defeated army fleeing from Jingcheng in the south and continued to march towards Jingcheng, they received You Liang Cheng and Jin Shuke who were disguised as the Chu army. The Yan army led by him.

Then,

It was a wave of flow.

This is why when two armies confront each other, no one dares to foolishly put miscellaneous soldiers or cannon fodder soldiers in the center and consume them for granted;

Because once the front collapses quickly, it is easy to drive one's own central and rear troops to collapse together. After a chain reaction, no matter how good the general is, he will be powerless.

After defeating the nearest Chu army, Liang Cheng and Jin Shuke split up and continued to march northward. The purpose was to take advantage of this momentum, and when the Chu people were astonished at the situation, they would try to add more troops to him. A few fires will mess him up!

Unfortunately,

no more cavalry,

If Uncle Zheng came with 20,000 cavalry this time,

hehe,

Uncle Zheng really dared to lead 20,000 cavalry to sweep around Shanggu County, a Chu people!

With the news of the great victory, the situation in the north is very good, which means that in the short term, everyone does not have to worry about the counterattack from the Chu people. Regardless of the direction from the north to the south, it will take some time for the Chu people to organize a counterattack.

therefore,

All the generals around the dinner table saluted Uncle Zheng who was sitting there drinking fish soup:

Congratulations to uncle for another great victory!

Congratulations to uncle for another great victory!

The surrounding guards and soldiers raised their weapons and shouted:

Master Hou is mighty!

Uncle mighty!

If you say something wrong, correct it immediately.

Master Hou is mighty!

In this hot and noisy atmosphere,

Uncle Zheng put down the soup bowl,

Slowly said:

One more bowl of soup.
