Quickly wear it as your sister's body
Chapter 23
The two talked in the camp for a whole day, during which Xie Yuan's subordinates brought meals, but they were blocked outside the camp and were not allowed to enter.
In fact, it's good to talk about many things. Su Huaijin has no intention of stopping the young apprentice's ambition. On the contrary, stirring up wind and rain in this troubled world coincides with his original plan.
In the evening, the slightly awkward atmosphere at the beginning had disappeared without a trace. Su Huaijin handed over the Qiuhong Sword, which he had been wearing close to his body, to his apprentice with a meaningful face, and then the master and apprentice returned to the past when they were on Cangyun Peak. A happy way of getting along.It's just that... this kind of style of filial piety between master and apprentice must be quite different from what Xie Yuan expected in his heart.
But he doesn't intend to easily break the current situation - boiling frogs in warm water has always been the best choice for attacking people like Shizun.
"Master, it's getting late, why don't I ask them to bring some hot water, and rest here today." Xie Yuan slipped obediently behind Su Huaijin and rubbed Su Huaijin's shoulders, with a slight tone in his tone Please, "Tomorrow—tomorrow, let's go to Yuhe, shall we?"
"What does it look like? Anyway, it's only one night, and any empty barracks will be fine."
"What a coincidence," the little wolf dog blinked his eyes and looked innocent, "we are poor here, and we don't have any extra tents."
... But be more face-saving, today you just robbed a large caravan with almost no trousers left.
Su Huaijin glanced at him sideways, feeling unable to say anything.
As a master, I really don't have any dignity. This kid has always admitted his mistakes readily, and then refused to change after repeated admonition... When he got into trouble, he knew how to lie down and talk sweet words, why did he go early!
Xie Yuan was very winking and didn't say anything more. He poured a cup of tea for the master, then lifted the curtain, and gave orders for the affairs.
Although the two of them, the master and the apprentice, have not joined the religion, they have lived on Cangyun Peak for so many years, and they have no habit of eating dinner, but today they talked all day from morning to night, and they missed lunch, so Xie Yuan let The subordinates went down to get some moderate and light food, and brought it to the room together with hot water.
Su Huaijin didn't care about this. Xie Yuan's power accumulated in a short period of time was even greater than he had imagined. Correspondingly, he also needed to adjust his plan accordingly.
The soldiers under Xie Yuan moved very quickly, and brought over the big barrel of hot water together with the food in a short time. The big wooden barrel was carried by several strong men, and it was Wang Zexi who brought the food tray. .
"Excellent, boss," the few people who came here were not orderlies in charge of these things, and they all got along well with Xie Yuan at ordinary times, and at this moment, they all looked into the airtight tent with a look of poking around, Wang Zexi Ze winked at Xie Yuan and gave Xie Yuan a thumbs-up, enviously saying, "This is a whole day, so don't torment people."
"That's right, boss," the skinny man said with a smile, "The little Taoist leader looked so pure and clean, but he didn't expect to be so charming..."
The rest of the Chinese character face is as righteous as ever: "Boss, my mother-in-law said that a man is a good man who knows how to pity and cherish jade, and he must know how to control himself."
Xie Yuan: "..."
With a black face, he kicked each of them on the buttocks: "If you have the energy to chew this tongue, it seems that you are still very energetic. Tonight, one of them will run fifty laps around the camp alone. If you can't finish running, you will not be allowed to sleep!"
"Fifty laps...could it be life-threatening!"
"Boss, please don't introduce... ah, ah, we know our mistake!"
"You can't spread your dissatisfaction on your brothers, Boss!"
"...Ten more laps!"
Xie Yuan was so furious that he personally carried the barrel and food into the tent one by one, and met his master's subtle expression head-on.
Xie Yuan: "..."
Su Huaijin: "...haha."
He took the tray in Xie Yuan's hand, glanced at it, put it on the table with satisfaction, and served himself a bowl of porridge with red dates and fish fillets.
What he brought were all his favorite things: peach cake, kidney bean rolls, stir-fried bamboo shoots and roasted tofu. Jug of plum wine.
"It's a good life." Su Huaijin tasted the taste and was quite surprised. "It's better than the original mountain."
Xie Yuan stood on the spot with his hands down in embarrassment, not daring to go forward, and said with a little excuse: "It's just that one of the brothers happened to be the sous chef of Jupeng Pavilion, and the utensils... also happened to be included in the confiscated goods the day before yesterday. Yes, it has not been opened yet, and it is clean."
"Hmm." Su Huaijin was noncommittal, took a sip of wine, and continued to drink porridge.
"..." Xie Yuan licked his lower lip, and in his head beat up the master who had finally calmed him down three hundred times, scratching his head and thinking how to smooth his hair this time. "Master, those friends of mine... my subordinates are all from poor families, so their words are inevitably a bit rough, so don't take it to heart."
Su Huaijin picked up a piece of peach blossom cake, and was surprised to find that this little cake was still warm, exuding an extremely delicate and elegant aroma.
"Actually..." Xie Yuan scratched his head, "I didn't dare to tell them that you are my master, but they all respect you very much. If they knew your identity, they would all feel ashamed, so what, usually They can't even hear bad things about you..."
Su Huaijin put down his chopsticks, and he only took a small bite of each dish - he was used to not eating after noon all the year round, and eating at night made him a little uncomfortable.
Xie Yuan stood there with drooping eyebrows, and suddenly said: "I made the green plum wine. I thought it would be your birthday this year, so I brought a small pot down the mountain..."
Su Huaijin put down her wine glass, stretched her eyebrows and said, "Not bad."
Xie Yuan suddenly smiled: "Are you not angry? They really have no malicious intentions, but look...your identity?"
"Since I've come down the mountain, I'm not afraid that outsiders will know my attitude." Su Huaijin straightened her sleeves slowly, turned to look at him, and sighed, "I thought we had made it very clear today, Yuaner, you Let go of what you want to do, and don’t need to test my attitude again and again.”
"I do not……"
"Arrange me as you like, the protagonist of this entry into the WTO is you, and I will try my best to cooperate."
Xie Yuan was a little stunned: "But Master... I, didn't you say before..."
"I said before that I would support your decision and I would help you, but I told you a few years ago that the personality of a teacher is not suitable for holding power in person. If you give me the position of Wang Zuo, I feel comfortable many."
"..." Xie Yuan clenched his fists, and after a moment of silence, he said firmly, "Okay, Master, I will definitely not let you down."
"Well," Su Huaijin stood up, reached out to test the temperature of the water in the wooden bucket, then easily lifted the bucket behind the screen, and said comfortingly, "Good boy."
Xie Yuan: "..."
He took a few deep breaths, but finally felt that he couldn't stand the stimulation, so he hurriedly said his goodbyes, then turned around and rushed out of the tent in a bit of embarrassment.
Then he stood guard at the door of the tent like a door god, and when he heard the intermittent sound of water coming from inside, he began to stare at the moon and blushed secretly.
The soldiers passing by did not look sideways, but they all glanced at the face of their boss from the corner of their eyes, and they were amazed in their hearts while trying to maintain a serious expression.
Hey, is this still our little general who thinks of crooked tricks and brings smoke.
Xie Yuan stayed there until the noise inside gradually subsided, but before he adjusted his expression, he ran in to serve on the saddle, when the curtain was lifted, Su Huaijin came out with the used hot water in one hand .
Soldiers hiding in the dark and watching: "Σ(っД;)っ"
Wait, what rhythm is this!What about the stunning young man with a delicate body and soft body who is easy to overthrow, the white-haired beauty who was promised to be weak and soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and the frail Taoist priest who was promised to be snatched back by force!
Even if the wooden bucket didn't contain water, it was still a big guy half the height of an adult, let alone just now they saw a few school captains blushing and thick-necked together to lift a bucket full of water , Did everyone collectively have an illusion? ? ?
"Why did you come out?" Xie Yuan quickly stretched out his hand to take the big wooden barrel, and said helplessly, "The evening wind is cool at the moment, so at least I should dry my hair."
Su Huaijin let go of the situation, and said indifferently: "The cold pool where you practice on the mountain is much colder than this one. Go get busy and leave me alone."
Xie Yuan looked at his dear master wearing only a thin unlined garment with a lot of open neckline and wet white hair casually scattered on his shoulders with a heart full of beeping. He couldn't help but feel deep despair.
He still wanted to struggle one last time: "I'm leaving tomorrow, and it's a mess everywhere, why don't you rest early?"
Su Huaijin gave him a strange look: "I just want to walk around casually, not to see the scenery."
"..." Xie Yuan, who was about to be monopolized | wanted to be overwhelmed, tried his best to suppress the evil fire in his throat, and forced a smile, "It's as long as you are happy."
Su Huaijin reached out and patted the apprentice's dog's head amidst the horrified expressions on the faces of the onlookers: "If you have anything to arrange at night, do it quickly. After being robbed by you like this, Hong Wencheng and the others will definitely speed up. If you want to follow When he saw Li Xiude in front of him, he couldn't go around like he did a few days ago."
Xie Yuan nodded respectfully, and then watched helplessly as the master's white back disappeared into the night.
But when he thought about what he was going to do next, he couldn't wait.
——Finally able to show off his master to everyone!happy!
——————————————————————————————
When Su Huaijin showed her face when she met her apprentice - especially with that iconic white hair, she knew that she probably couldn't hide her identity.
Ordinary people may not think so much, just like the guards in the caravan and Xie Yuan's confidantes, at most they would sigh with emotion that white hair has become a popular hairstyle for Taoist priests today, but they absolutely don't think so. He would think that he is Xie Changfeng himself.
But once the news reaches the ears of the major forces, it will definitely not be easily missed.
Su Huaijin is very aware of this, so now he does not shy away from Xie Yuan's revealing his identity directly, but he also clearly told Xie Yuan that he will not completely tie the Cangran faction to Li Xiude's chariot.
In the final analysis, the Cangran Sect is just a Taoist sect detached from the outside world. Although it has been too active these years, there is always a banner of "caring for the common people". To create a paradise on earth that even surpasses the imperial power, but it has to give up some things.
For example, they must not clearly show which side they support. Even if they will gather great prestige for the supported army in a short period of time, in the long run, it will not be conducive to the development of the sect after the world is pacified.
When a force based on theology, known for its quietness and inaction, shows interest in secular power, it is not far from being dragged off the altar.
Su Huaijin read a lot of poetry and books in her previous life, so it is not uncommon in all kinds of classics that she lost her foothold because of getting carried away.
So when he followed Xie Yuan's team for another ten days and finally arrived at the bank of the Yu River, Fei Ge sent a letter to Senior Brother Ming Xu who was stationed at Cangyun Peak, asking him to expel himself from the sect.
From then on, he thanked Changfeng for his actions and had nothing to do with the Cangran faction.
Of course, anyone with a discerning eye will see that this is just an attitude expressed by him, and it will not really separate him from Cang Ran.
When they arrived at the shore, Li Xiude's navy had already crossed the river to meet them for ten miles. Su Huaijin got off the carriage and saw that every wrinkle on his face was full of sincerity and kindness. Armor, followed by a well-faced young man on the right hand side, who looked somewhat similar to him—it must be the puppet major general.
"General Li," Su Huaijin took the first step forward, cupping his fists and leaning over, with a gentle and humble smile on his face, "I have admired your name for a long time."
Li Xiude acted very approachable, he grabbed Su Huaijin's arm, and didn't let him bow down: "Where is it, there is a certain pair of master Xie who has admired him for a long time, the master is high-spirited and open-minded, he can be called a model in the world."
Su Huaijin smiled slightly, and then took a step sideways, letting Xie Yuan, who was following behind, come forward.
Li Xiude was taken aback: "This is?"
"General Li, I'm Xie Yuan," the young man's clear voice still seemed full of confidence in such an environment. Xie Yuan's eyes were bright, and he simply knelt down on one knee and saluted, expressing himself clearly. The attitude of defecting, "I have heard for a long time that the general is benevolent, and I have led my troops to vote."
"Oh, isn't it Xie Shaoxia who has become famous recently?" Li Xiude was overjoyed, and quickly lifted him up, his expression was as close as if he was looking at his own outstanding nephew and younger generation, "This old man is really He Dehe Neng, He De He Neng ah……"
"The general speaks seriously," Xie Yuan smiled and glanced at Su Huaijin. "Actually, the younger generation is thinking of joining the general because the master often reminds him of his orders. From now on, he is willing to use his assignment to help the general complete his great cause!"
Li Xiude was taken aback—maybe it was a real surprise this time: "Master, Master...?"
"General Li doesn't know something," Su Huaijin took the topic lightly, "Yuan'er is passing on his disciples personally. This time he went down the mountain, Xie Changfeng was alone, but he can still be regarded as his subordinate who came to join you."
"This..." Li Xiude was stunned for a moment, but at least he was the overlord, so he quickly came back to his senses, and his face was instantly filled with a warm smile, "You two, master and apprentice, it's a piece of news to spread the word. Good story - the riverside is noisy, why don't you follow me across the river quickly and talk in detail in the camp?"
Xie Yuan nodded: "It should be so, please ask the general to lead the way over there."
The group of people had their own evil intentions, but they couldn't see it on the surface at all. They boarded the boat hand in hand affectionately, and soon arrived at Li's camp. The rest of the soldiers in the camp practiced as usual. Most of these people would respectfully salute Li Xiude who was walking first, but showed no interest in the strangers behind.
Wang Zexi and his little friends followed at the back of the line with their heads down, completely different from their former arrogance.
——They have maintained this powerless look for a while, ever since Boss Xie confided to them that white-haired beauty... bah, confided the true identity of his master, these few people have a feeling of beating their chests Zun, I can't wait to travel back to the impulse to beat myself up when I grabbed my mouth and didn't close the door a few days ago.
What the hell are these things...
But compared to the emotions in their hearts that were about to entangle themselves to death, Su Huaijin didn't take those things during the journey to heart.Just like he didn't care about the contempt of the people in the restaurant at that time, no matter what these people said or did, it was impossible to have any influence on him, because he had too many other more important things to worry about.
Li Xiude soon discovered to his surprise that he really found a treasure this time.
At the beginning, he showed enough respect to Xie Changfeng's master and apprentice, but his positioning of them was just a good-looking mascot placed there—especially Xie Yuan, after knowing that he was Xie Changfeng's apprentice, it was spread all over the world. It seems that those amazing and brilliant deeds will not be too surprising.
Especially after Hong Wencheng came back, it was inevitable that the two sides would be a little awkward to meet. The masters who followed Hong Wencheng this trip had no noses or eyes for those scoundrels in Xie Yuanjun, which made him feel very impressed with this group of people. Half a notch down.
Marching and fighting is not a vendetta, nor is it easy to win with high martial arts, so Li Xiude offered food and drink to these two people, and invited them to discuss things respectfully, but in reality, it was inevitable that he didn't think so.
Of course, his disapproval is only aimed at his military talents, and he still relies a lot on them in terms of stabilizing the hearts of the people and performing various tasks that require high-strength force.
But his inherent impression was quickly overturned.
Many of the insurgents of this era rose up to resist when they were forced to have nowhere to go, and among these people, there was no doubt that most of them were ordinary people who had not received much orthodox education.
Li Xiude is not bad here. He was born in a farming and studying heirloom family. His father was once a scholar, so he also studied for several years. After his subordinates became more and more powerful, he invited many great scholars When you go to the barracks, you can ask those people to "literate illiteracy" for the soldiers under you with generous treatment.
It cannot be denied that there are many talents like Hong Wencheng who have the unity of knowledge and action, but there are more of them who are full of sour scholars.
The generals who pay attention to efficiency are naturally impatient to listen to the lectures given by these people, but they can't even recognize the words, let alone ask them to be familiar with military books and strategies.
It's just that in wars, sometimes talent and luck are more useful than hard work. In addition, Li Xiude's army usually drills diligently and has strict military laws, so that they can win key battles time after time and get to where they are today.
Thinking about it now, the course of that struggle was really full of blood and tears.
And all this changed after the arrival of master and apprentice Xie Changfeng.
The first surprise was the more than [-] soldiers brought by Xie Yuan.
Originally, after such a small force came here, Li Xiude wanted to break up their team and randomly insert them into his own army, but this time maybe it was to give Xie Changfeng face, maybe it was because of the period of time Xie Yuan's team really stole the limelight, and was even hailed as the "Master of All Victories". Instead of confiscating the military power in Xie Yuan's hands, he even allocated more than 3 people to him, making a total of [-] people vanguard.
Then the vanguard team was released for a month, and they called him back to Gaodian City, which had been unable to attack for a long time.
Li Xiude was shocked at that time.
Gaodian City is located in the Central Plains, and there is neither terrain to use nor floods to introduce around it. Zhang Yiliang's army could not hold out there. It happened to be a sword protruding from the junction of their two territories, hanging there worryingly. It made him feel uneasy day and night, but there was nothing he could do.
But now, it was broken by a vanguard army led by a mere [-] young people? !
But the victory that Xie Yuan wanted to bring to him was far from over. Everyone in the vanguard army was equipped with horses, and they were extremely mobile. After being thrown out, they turned into black ghosts wandering the land of the Central Plains, rushing to attack fortified positions day and night. One defeat, the place where they passed was a mess.
Later, many troops under the command of Wei Jun and Zhang Chen would fight each other as soon as they saw the banner with the word "Xie" from a distance, wishing they could run away. Not so long ago, there were very few Jiang Hu Xia that people talked about.
Coupled with the celebrity effect brought by Xie Changfeng, in just half a year, Li Xiude's army has grown rapidly at a jaw-dropping speed, and has the potential to break the three-legged confrontation and become king and hegemony.
Speaking of which, among the leaders of the three-way rebel army, only Li Xiude has not become king yet.
He was not in a hurry, seeing that the timing was about right, after calling back Xie Yuan, who was leading the army everywhere, he simply handed over most of his soldiers to him for training, and he happily went sightseeing in the barracks every day with a purple clay pot Wandering around has the meaning of early retirement.
——It was true at first, but now Xie Yuan has almost taken over all the battles in the camp, and the veteran generals are becoming more and more convinced by him. The generals are harmonious and happy, and there is nothing to worry about.
As for Wen Chen's side - this is another thing that makes people's eyes drop.
Xie Changfeng is not at all as sharp-edged as his apprentice. At the beginning, he just meditated and practiced his sword every day. He almost regarded the military camp as his Taoist temple. For no reason, he felt that he was invulnerable to swords and guns, and his fighting spirit was raging, and he even felt that an expert should have such a demeanor, and no one expressed dissatisfaction with his behavior.
In the end, it was Hong Wencheng who found a suitable position for him.
Hong Wencheng has a very good eye for seeing people - he only saw Chen Lin once in his life - when he met Xie Changfeng for the first time, he knew that this former friend had completely changed one person.
He is not willing to think about the original Xie Changfeng anymore, because it will undoubtedly make him feel suffocated. He is just trying to persuade himself to accept the present one, and to tactfully reminisce about the slenderness that was cut off before it sprouted. Thoughts buried deep.
In short, no matter what Xie Changfeng was like in the past, he is definitely as talented as Wang Zuozhi like Xun Wenruo today.
That being the case, he should be used in the most suitable position.
Tsk, I don't know what kind of feeling Chen Lin would feel if he saw Changfeng now...
--------------------------------
As the founder and successor of the later Daqi Dynasty, Xie Yuan has always been a controversial historical figure, but even the harshest defenders cannot deny the unparalleled brilliance of this king in the long river of history. Military talent and statecraft.
All the history books have emphasized one point: the emperor who was later named Huaide was only 21 years old when he led the army to capture the capital of the old dynasty.
In the same year, Li Xiude, the founding emperor, came to the throne, and his reign name was Shenwu, known in history as □□□.
Chen's Rebel Army camp.
"Report—Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
A messenger who was covered in dust and dust rushed into the camp of the Chinese army. The spacious camp was packed to the brim at this time. Almost all the dignified officials in the kingdom were gathered here. It was a gloomy expression, and the atmosphere was so stuffy that it almost condensed.
"What's the matter!" Sitting in the highest position, Chen Lin was full of madness. His face was no longer as handsome as it used to be, not to mention the unshaven beard, and there were deep black and blue under the eyes, and his face was eroded by the wine and sagging. Zhui, now that he is nearly forty years old, he already looks like an old man.
The Chen family has always been the weakest line in the three-way rebel army. If it weren't for the good foundation left by his father back then, the territory is also quite dominant, and there are many talented brothers left by General Chen in the army. , I am afraid that this powerful force that ruled the roost for a while has long since silently disappeared in the torrent of war.
But even so, the luck and strength of the Chen family are declining year by year. After the news that Xie Changfeng defected to Li Xiude came three years ago, Chen Lin even made a big fuss. The loss of time was heavy. Later, if he didn't think that the venerable old general couldn't stand it, and took out the sword left by his father to persuade him to die, I'm afraid he would have been depressed for a long time.
After that, in the lord's tent, beauties continued to play and sing day and night, and the ministers couldn't even see the king's face. Only at occasional celebrations could they catch a glimpse of him.
——But don't say it, probably thanks to this, the Chen family was able to continue to survive for three years.
But now, after all, it is impossible to hold on.
"Your Majesty..." The messenger knelt down in the middle of the tent with a plop, his face covered with dust and wind, he kowtowed heavily, and said in grief and indignation, "That man surnamed Xie is too deceitful. After capturing the capital of Wei, he used tricks to lure our army Into the city..."
Chen Lin was startled. Even though he didn't ask about political affairs, he knew that the most elite vanguard army in the Japanese battalion had just been sent to the vicinity of the royal city to fight for the fruits of victory. But look at the state of the herald at this time...
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and even his fingers trembled a little: "How is the forward army?"
"..." The herald paused, choked up and said, "The whole army... was wiped out..."
"..."
It seemed that a huge bomb had been thrown into the camp, and everyone was blown up.
"How is it possible..." Someone asked in a trembling voice, "Xie Yuan's direct army is only [-], and the siege army is only [-] in total, and there is half of the commander of Li's Major General who is holding him back. Our [-] vanguard army, How could it be possible to be beaten...to be beaten..."
"I don't know," the herald gritted his teeth and knelt on the ground, his eyes were red, "I only know that the Li family's army is as unpredictable as darkness, and moves like thunder... General Xie commands like arms and fingers. , Our entire army fought bloody battles, but...we have no power to resist at all."
"Ridiculous!" Chen Lin stood up suddenly, dizzy for a moment because of his too fast movements, he kicked over the cases in front of him, and shouted loudly, "Idiots! They are all idiots! I spend that amount every day. A lot of money raises the army, so these wine bags and rice bags are raised!"
But this time, the ministers of His Highness did not tremble in his anger like before, and they did not kneel down in fear and respect and shout "Your Majesty, calm down".
In fact...he doesn't know how long it has been since he formally went to the palace to discuss matters with the ministers. In the past, he was in the prime of life, and his martial arts were also very advanced. Coupled with the residual prestige left by the old general, he was naturally favored by the stars when he first proclaimed himself emperor. Yue and Lian are called Shengming, but as their arrogance grows more and more, and their abilities gradually decline every day, the current him has long lost the prestige of the past.
Some respected old ministers even reprimanded directly: "Your Majesty is so decent, the more you are in danger, the more calm you should be. You really don't have the style of being a king."
Chen Lin's eyes widened: "What are you talking about...you, you old guy...!"
"Did Mr. Huang say something wrong?" Another general with white beard and hair snorted heavily, obviously dissatisfied with the monarch for a long time, "Now that we are in such a predicament, your majesty still has to punish himself!"
"Hmph...Speaking of which, Xie Changfeng was the closest to our army at first."
"Not our good emperor... treacherous, unfulfilling desires, when I was in Cangyun Peak, God knows I would have burrowed into the ground in shame!"
"When Xie Changfeng was here, how many difficulties and obstacles we have overcome, and Changfengjian as a friend, there is really nothing to say..."
"And Xie Yuan! If he can teach one Xie Yuan, can't he teach the second one? Besides, if the master and apprentice want to follow, if Changfeng Jian is here all the time, are you afraid that the Heijiajun won't be named Chen?"
"Enough!" Listening to the whispers below, Chen Lin felt a rush of hot air suddenly rushing up, burning him to the ground, and his eyes were full of deep red bloodshot eyes, "On the contrary, since you have already Why didn't you say it when you thought it was inappropriate! Come here to complain about things now, is this the way of your ministers!"
The noisy voice was covered by him, but looking at the angry and unconvinced faces, he suddenly felt very tired.
Obviously... He was the one who befriended Xie Changfeng in the first place, and everyone here took it for granted to enjoy each other's contribution, and even after several old subordinates repeatedly fiddled with him, he made the decision to use the Cangran faction as a promotion level decision.
Didn't they say that rebellion is different from vendettas? The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. The strength of real swords and guns is much more important than the so-called good reputation. Didn't they say that this world is ruled by heroes? , everything can be sold for profit, there can't be unnecessary womanly benevolence?
Why now, all the blame is on him, the lord...
Xie Changfeng, Xie Changfeng... What kind of magical power do you have? Why has my life become such a mess since I met you?
From Wen Cheng's departure, to the failure of the temporary recruitment plan to recuperate, to the notoriety and accusations of thousands of people, and finally now... the huge foundation is in the blink of an eye, why can't you let me go!
"Report—" The ever-changing battlefield does not care whether these people's hearts are as messy as the big tent at this time. Before everyone can argue about the reason, the voice of the herald outside is heard again like a reminder .
The second herald rushed into the tent, describing it as more embarrassing than his predecessor: "Your Majesty, it's not good——Zhang Yiliang's troops have been completely dispersed by the Li family. Li Xiude will be surrendered in Yicheng at noon tomorrow, and the news has already spread. Already!"
"Deoksugong can't hold on anymore..." The old man Huang who started to scold him just now looked dispirited, staring blankly at the soldier who brought the bad news, "Our army is even weaker, how long can we hold on... Your Majesty, please make a decision early!"
"The decision to make a fart early!" Chen Lin was startled, stared at him fiercely, and couldn't help but swear, "How can the prime minister boost other people's ambitions and destroy his own prestige... My Chen family still has 30 troops , the soldiers and horses are strong and the food and grass are sufficient, and Li Xiude may not have a chance of winning against him!"
"Alas..." Prime Minister Huang sighed, seeing that he couldn't listen, he didn't try to persuade him, and he winked directly at several colleagues who also controlled the power. Everyone fell silent together, and lost his temper with Chen Lin again. They all said goodbye.
This lord really couldn't support him. After these years, the army became more and more disorganized, that is, he himself, and he still regarded himself as the only emperor.
These old fellows haven't lived enough, and now it is the general trend to surrender, and it is actually a good thing if the lord doesn't cooperate... If you do it well, you can give yourself and your descendants prosperity and wealth in their later years.
What Chen Lin said earlier is also true. With their current strength, if they are united and fight Li Xiude to the death, even if there is no hope of winning, they will definitely be able to gnaw a piece of meat from the old man——so, at this time, please Surrender, there is a lot to do when negotiating.
It can only be said that...likes gather together and people are divided into groups. Chen Lin can be taught this kind of virtue, which is enough to imagine who the "elders" around him are.
On the other side, Xie Yuan was holding a celebration banquet with his soldiers.
They belonged to the advance troops, and captured the capital of Wei with lightning speed, and wiped out [-] soldiers and horses of Chen Lin—and the large troops in the rear were led by veterans in the army. Easily consumed.
Li Xiude has been in dormancy for these years, not claiming to be a king but not coming out, he has been keeping a low profile and saving energy, and at this moment, he shocked the world with one action, and the situation that had been stalemate for many years changed in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Yiliang will be surrendered tomorrow. The reason why he chose Yicheng is because this place is not far from Wei. Li Xiude thought of the hard work of the vanguard, so he specially invited them back to join in the grand event.
Of course, the biggest reason should be to ensure your own safety.
But... Xie Yuan didn't care why the old man asked him to go back, he couldn't wait to return, the only reason was - to see the master who had been staying in the Chinese army again!
"General?" Wang Zexi's face was flushed, he was holding a big sea bowl in his hand, and before he walked in front of the boss, most of the fragrant wine in it had been spilled, "Today... it's so easy to lift the ban today, so I don't want to talk to my brother Let's drink, why are you having fun there alone..."
"General! Let's drink more with the brothers!"
"Haha, get him drunk! I don't believe it, with so many of us here, we can't beat him alone?"
"General, do it!"
Xie Yuan smiled brightly, proudly took the sea bowl in Wang Zexi's hand, raised his neck and drank it clean.
His clear eyes became hot, and the raging flames in them almost ignited people.
"Dry!"
In fact, it's good to talk about many things. Su Huaijin has no intention of stopping the young apprentice's ambition. On the contrary, stirring up wind and rain in this troubled world coincides with his original plan.
In the evening, the slightly awkward atmosphere at the beginning had disappeared without a trace. Su Huaijin handed over the Qiuhong Sword, which he had been wearing close to his body, to his apprentice with a meaningful face, and then the master and apprentice returned to the past when they were on Cangyun Peak. A happy way of getting along.It's just that... this kind of style of filial piety between master and apprentice must be quite different from what Xie Yuan expected in his heart.
But he doesn't intend to easily break the current situation - boiling frogs in warm water has always been the best choice for attacking people like Shizun.
"Master, it's getting late, why don't I ask them to bring some hot water, and rest here today." Xie Yuan slipped obediently behind Su Huaijin and rubbed Su Huaijin's shoulders, with a slight tone in his tone Please, "Tomorrow—tomorrow, let's go to Yuhe, shall we?"
"What does it look like? Anyway, it's only one night, and any empty barracks will be fine."
"What a coincidence," the little wolf dog blinked his eyes and looked innocent, "we are poor here, and we don't have any extra tents."
... But be more face-saving, today you just robbed a large caravan with almost no trousers left.
Su Huaijin glanced at him sideways, feeling unable to say anything.
As a master, I really don't have any dignity. This kid has always admitted his mistakes readily, and then refused to change after repeated admonition... When he got into trouble, he knew how to lie down and talk sweet words, why did he go early!
Xie Yuan was very winking and didn't say anything more. He poured a cup of tea for the master, then lifted the curtain, and gave orders for the affairs.
Although the two of them, the master and the apprentice, have not joined the religion, they have lived on Cangyun Peak for so many years, and they have no habit of eating dinner, but today they talked all day from morning to night, and they missed lunch, so Xie Yuan let The subordinates went down to get some moderate and light food, and brought it to the room together with hot water.
Su Huaijin didn't care about this. Xie Yuan's power accumulated in a short period of time was even greater than he had imagined. Correspondingly, he also needed to adjust his plan accordingly.
The soldiers under Xie Yuan moved very quickly, and brought over the big barrel of hot water together with the food in a short time. The big wooden barrel was carried by several strong men, and it was Wang Zexi who brought the food tray. .
"Excellent, boss," the few people who came here were not orderlies in charge of these things, and they all got along well with Xie Yuan at ordinary times, and at this moment, they all looked into the airtight tent with a look of poking around, Wang Zexi Ze winked at Xie Yuan and gave Xie Yuan a thumbs-up, enviously saying, "This is a whole day, so don't torment people."
"That's right, boss," the skinny man said with a smile, "The little Taoist leader looked so pure and clean, but he didn't expect to be so charming..."
The rest of the Chinese character face is as righteous as ever: "Boss, my mother-in-law said that a man is a good man who knows how to pity and cherish jade, and he must know how to control himself."
Xie Yuan: "..."
With a black face, he kicked each of them on the buttocks: "If you have the energy to chew this tongue, it seems that you are still very energetic. Tonight, one of them will run fifty laps around the camp alone. If you can't finish running, you will not be allowed to sleep!"
"Fifty laps...could it be life-threatening!"
"Boss, please don't introduce... ah, ah, we know our mistake!"
"You can't spread your dissatisfaction on your brothers, Boss!"
"...Ten more laps!"
Xie Yuan was so furious that he personally carried the barrel and food into the tent one by one, and met his master's subtle expression head-on.
Xie Yuan: "..."
Su Huaijin: "...haha."
He took the tray in Xie Yuan's hand, glanced at it, put it on the table with satisfaction, and served himself a bowl of porridge with red dates and fish fillets.
What he brought were all his favorite things: peach cake, kidney bean rolls, stir-fried bamboo shoots and roasted tofu. Jug of plum wine.
"It's a good life." Su Huaijin tasted the taste and was quite surprised. "It's better than the original mountain."
Xie Yuan stood on the spot with his hands down in embarrassment, not daring to go forward, and said with a little excuse: "It's just that one of the brothers happened to be the sous chef of Jupeng Pavilion, and the utensils... also happened to be included in the confiscated goods the day before yesterday. Yes, it has not been opened yet, and it is clean."
"Hmm." Su Huaijin was noncommittal, took a sip of wine, and continued to drink porridge.
"..." Xie Yuan licked his lower lip, and in his head beat up the master who had finally calmed him down three hundred times, scratching his head and thinking how to smooth his hair this time. "Master, those friends of mine... my subordinates are all from poor families, so their words are inevitably a bit rough, so don't take it to heart."
Su Huaijin picked up a piece of peach blossom cake, and was surprised to find that this little cake was still warm, exuding an extremely delicate and elegant aroma.
"Actually..." Xie Yuan scratched his head, "I didn't dare to tell them that you are my master, but they all respect you very much. If they knew your identity, they would all feel ashamed, so what, usually They can't even hear bad things about you..."
Su Huaijin put down his chopsticks, and he only took a small bite of each dish - he was used to not eating after noon all the year round, and eating at night made him a little uncomfortable.
Xie Yuan stood there with drooping eyebrows, and suddenly said: "I made the green plum wine. I thought it would be your birthday this year, so I brought a small pot down the mountain..."
Su Huaijin put down her wine glass, stretched her eyebrows and said, "Not bad."
Xie Yuan suddenly smiled: "Are you not angry? They really have no malicious intentions, but look...your identity?"
"Since I've come down the mountain, I'm not afraid that outsiders will know my attitude." Su Huaijin straightened her sleeves slowly, turned to look at him, and sighed, "I thought we had made it very clear today, Yuaner, you Let go of what you want to do, and don’t need to test my attitude again and again.”
"I do not……"
"Arrange me as you like, the protagonist of this entry into the WTO is you, and I will try my best to cooperate."
Xie Yuan was a little stunned: "But Master... I, didn't you say before..."
"I said before that I would support your decision and I would help you, but I told you a few years ago that the personality of a teacher is not suitable for holding power in person. If you give me the position of Wang Zuo, I feel comfortable many."
"..." Xie Yuan clenched his fists, and after a moment of silence, he said firmly, "Okay, Master, I will definitely not let you down."
"Well," Su Huaijin stood up, reached out to test the temperature of the water in the wooden bucket, then easily lifted the bucket behind the screen, and said comfortingly, "Good boy."
Xie Yuan: "..."
He took a few deep breaths, but finally felt that he couldn't stand the stimulation, so he hurriedly said his goodbyes, then turned around and rushed out of the tent in a bit of embarrassment.
Then he stood guard at the door of the tent like a door god, and when he heard the intermittent sound of water coming from inside, he began to stare at the moon and blushed secretly.
The soldiers passing by did not look sideways, but they all glanced at the face of their boss from the corner of their eyes, and they were amazed in their hearts while trying to maintain a serious expression.
Hey, is this still our little general who thinks of crooked tricks and brings smoke.
Xie Yuan stayed there until the noise inside gradually subsided, but before he adjusted his expression, he ran in to serve on the saddle, when the curtain was lifted, Su Huaijin came out with the used hot water in one hand .
Soldiers hiding in the dark and watching: "Σ(っД;)っ"
Wait, what rhythm is this!What about the stunning young man with a delicate body and soft body who is easy to overthrow, the white-haired beauty who was promised to be weak and soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and the frail Taoist priest who was promised to be snatched back by force!
Even if the wooden bucket didn't contain water, it was still a big guy half the height of an adult, let alone just now they saw a few school captains blushing and thick-necked together to lift a bucket full of water , Did everyone collectively have an illusion? ? ?
"Why did you come out?" Xie Yuan quickly stretched out his hand to take the big wooden barrel, and said helplessly, "The evening wind is cool at the moment, so at least I should dry my hair."
Su Huaijin let go of the situation, and said indifferently: "The cold pool where you practice on the mountain is much colder than this one. Go get busy and leave me alone."
Xie Yuan looked at his dear master wearing only a thin unlined garment with a lot of open neckline and wet white hair casually scattered on his shoulders with a heart full of beeping. He couldn't help but feel deep despair.
He still wanted to struggle one last time: "I'm leaving tomorrow, and it's a mess everywhere, why don't you rest early?"
Su Huaijin gave him a strange look: "I just want to walk around casually, not to see the scenery."
"..." Xie Yuan, who was about to be monopolized | wanted to be overwhelmed, tried his best to suppress the evil fire in his throat, and forced a smile, "It's as long as you are happy."
Su Huaijin reached out and patted the apprentice's dog's head amidst the horrified expressions on the faces of the onlookers: "If you have anything to arrange at night, do it quickly. After being robbed by you like this, Hong Wencheng and the others will definitely speed up. If you want to follow When he saw Li Xiude in front of him, he couldn't go around like he did a few days ago."
Xie Yuan nodded respectfully, and then watched helplessly as the master's white back disappeared into the night.
But when he thought about what he was going to do next, he couldn't wait.
——Finally able to show off his master to everyone!happy!
——————————————————————————————
When Su Huaijin showed her face when she met her apprentice - especially with that iconic white hair, she knew that she probably couldn't hide her identity.
Ordinary people may not think so much, just like the guards in the caravan and Xie Yuan's confidantes, at most they would sigh with emotion that white hair has become a popular hairstyle for Taoist priests today, but they absolutely don't think so. He would think that he is Xie Changfeng himself.
But once the news reaches the ears of the major forces, it will definitely not be easily missed.
Su Huaijin is very aware of this, so now he does not shy away from Xie Yuan's revealing his identity directly, but he also clearly told Xie Yuan that he will not completely tie the Cangran faction to Li Xiude's chariot.
In the final analysis, the Cangran Sect is just a Taoist sect detached from the outside world. Although it has been too active these years, there is always a banner of "caring for the common people". To create a paradise on earth that even surpasses the imperial power, but it has to give up some things.
For example, they must not clearly show which side they support. Even if they will gather great prestige for the supported army in a short period of time, in the long run, it will not be conducive to the development of the sect after the world is pacified.
When a force based on theology, known for its quietness and inaction, shows interest in secular power, it is not far from being dragged off the altar.
Su Huaijin read a lot of poetry and books in her previous life, so it is not uncommon in all kinds of classics that she lost her foothold because of getting carried away.
So when he followed Xie Yuan's team for another ten days and finally arrived at the bank of the Yu River, Fei Ge sent a letter to Senior Brother Ming Xu who was stationed at Cangyun Peak, asking him to expel himself from the sect.
From then on, he thanked Changfeng for his actions and had nothing to do with the Cangran faction.
Of course, anyone with a discerning eye will see that this is just an attitude expressed by him, and it will not really separate him from Cang Ran.
When they arrived at the shore, Li Xiude's navy had already crossed the river to meet them for ten miles. Su Huaijin got off the carriage and saw that every wrinkle on his face was full of sincerity and kindness. Armor, followed by a well-faced young man on the right hand side, who looked somewhat similar to him—it must be the puppet major general.
"General Li," Su Huaijin took the first step forward, cupping his fists and leaning over, with a gentle and humble smile on his face, "I have admired your name for a long time."
Li Xiude acted very approachable, he grabbed Su Huaijin's arm, and didn't let him bow down: "Where is it, there is a certain pair of master Xie who has admired him for a long time, the master is high-spirited and open-minded, he can be called a model in the world."
Su Huaijin smiled slightly, and then took a step sideways, letting Xie Yuan, who was following behind, come forward.
Li Xiude was taken aback: "This is?"
"General Li, I'm Xie Yuan," the young man's clear voice still seemed full of confidence in such an environment. Xie Yuan's eyes were bright, and he simply knelt down on one knee and saluted, expressing himself clearly. The attitude of defecting, "I have heard for a long time that the general is benevolent, and I have led my troops to vote."
"Oh, isn't it Xie Shaoxia who has become famous recently?" Li Xiude was overjoyed, and quickly lifted him up, his expression was as close as if he was looking at his own outstanding nephew and younger generation, "This old man is really He Dehe Neng, He De He Neng ah……"
"The general speaks seriously," Xie Yuan smiled and glanced at Su Huaijin. "Actually, the younger generation is thinking of joining the general because the master often reminds him of his orders. From now on, he is willing to use his assignment to help the general complete his great cause!"
Li Xiude was taken aback—maybe it was a real surprise this time: "Master, Master...?"
"General Li doesn't know something," Su Huaijin took the topic lightly, "Yuan'er is passing on his disciples personally. This time he went down the mountain, Xie Changfeng was alone, but he can still be regarded as his subordinate who came to join you."
"This..." Li Xiude was stunned for a moment, but at least he was the overlord, so he quickly came back to his senses, and his face was instantly filled with a warm smile, "You two, master and apprentice, it's a piece of news to spread the word. Good story - the riverside is noisy, why don't you follow me across the river quickly and talk in detail in the camp?"
Xie Yuan nodded: "It should be so, please ask the general to lead the way over there."
The group of people had their own evil intentions, but they couldn't see it on the surface at all. They boarded the boat hand in hand affectionately, and soon arrived at Li's camp. The rest of the soldiers in the camp practiced as usual. Most of these people would respectfully salute Li Xiude who was walking first, but showed no interest in the strangers behind.
Wang Zexi and his little friends followed at the back of the line with their heads down, completely different from their former arrogance.
——They have maintained this powerless look for a while, ever since Boss Xie confided to them that white-haired beauty... bah, confided the true identity of his master, these few people have a feeling of beating their chests Zun, I can't wait to travel back to the impulse to beat myself up when I grabbed my mouth and didn't close the door a few days ago.
What the hell are these things...
But compared to the emotions in their hearts that were about to entangle themselves to death, Su Huaijin didn't take those things during the journey to heart.Just like he didn't care about the contempt of the people in the restaurant at that time, no matter what these people said or did, it was impossible to have any influence on him, because he had too many other more important things to worry about.
Li Xiude soon discovered to his surprise that he really found a treasure this time.
At the beginning, he showed enough respect to Xie Changfeng's master and apprentice, but his positioning of them was just a good-looking mascot placed there—especially Xie Yuan, after knowing that he was Xie Changfeng's apprentice, it was spread all over the world. It seems that those amazing and brilliant deeds will not be too surprising.
Especially after Hong Wencheng came back, it was inevitable that the two sides would be a little awkward to meet. The masters who followed Hong Wencheng this trip had no noses or eyes for those scoundrels in Xie Yuanjun, which made him feel very impressed with this group of people. Half a notch down.
Marching and fighting is not a vendetta, nor is it easy to win with high martial arts, so Li Xiude offered food and drink to these two people, and invited them to discuss things respectfully, but in reality, it was inevitable that he didn't think so.
Of course, his disapproval is only aimed at his military talents, and he still relies a lot on them in terms of stabilizing the hearts of the people and performing various tasks that require high-strength force.
But his inherent impression was quickly overturned.
Many of the insurgents of this era rose up to resist when they were forced to have nowhere to go, and among these people, there was no doubt that most of them were ordinary people who had not received much orthodox education.
Li Xiude is not bad here. He was born in a farming and studying heirloom family. His father was once a scholar, so he also studied for several years. After his subordinates became more and more powerful, he invited many great scholars When you go to the barracks, you can ask those people to "literate illiteracy" for the soldiers under you with generous treatment.
It cannot be denied that there are many talents like Hong Wencheng who have the unity of knowledge and action, but there are more of them who are full of sour scholars.
The generals who pay attention to efficiency are naturally impatient to listen to the lectures given by these people, but they can't even recognize the words, let alone ask them to be familiar with military books and strategies.
It's just that in wars, sometimes talent and luck are more useful than hard work. In addition, Li Xiude's army usually drills diligently and has strict military laws, so that they can win key battles time after time and get to where they are today.
Thinking about it now, the course of that struggle was really full of blood and tears.
And all this changed after the arrival of master and apprentice Xie Changfeng.
The first surprise was the more than [-] soldiers brought by Xie Yuan.
Originally, after such a small force came here, Li Xiude wanted to break up their team and randomly insert them into his own army, but this time maybe it was to give Xie Changfeng face, maybe it was because of the period of time Xie Yuan's team really stole the limelight, and was even hailed as the "Master of All Victories". Instead of confiscating the military power in Xie Yuan's hands, he even allocated more than 3 people to him, making a total of [-] people vanguard.
Then the vanguard team was released for a month, and they called him back to Gaodian City, which had been unable to attack for a long time.
Li Xiude was shocked at that time.
Gaodian City is located in the Central Plains, and there is neither terrain to use nor floods to introduce around it. Zhang Yiliang's army could not hold out there. It happened to be a sword protruding from the junction of their two territories, hanging there worryingly. It made him feel uneasy day and night, but there was nothing he could do.
But now, it was broken by a vanguard army led by a mere [-] young people? !
But the victory that Xie Yuan wanted to bring to him was far from over. Everyone in the vanguard army was equipped with horses, and they were extremely mobile. After being thrown out, they turned into black ghosts wandering the land of the Central Plains, rushing to attack fortified positions day and night. One defeat, the place where they passed was a mess.
Later, many troops under the command of Wei Jun and Zhang Chen would fight each other as soon as they saw the banner with the word "Xie" from a distance, wishing they could run away. Not so long ago, there were very few Jiang Hu Xia that people talked about.
Coupled with the celebrity effect brought by Xie Changfeng, in just half a year, Li Xiude's army has grown rapidly at a jaw-dropping speed, and has the potential to break the three-legged confrontation and become king and hegemony.
Speaking of which, among the leaders of the three-way rebel army, only Li Xiude has not become king yet.
He was not in a hurry, seeing that the timing was about right, after calling back Xie Yuan, who was leading the army everywhere, he simply handed over most of his soldiers to him for training, and he happily went sightseeing in the barracks every day with a purple clay pot Wandering around has the meaning of early retirement.
——It was true at first, but now Xie Yuan has almost taken over all the battles in the camp, and the veteran generals are becoming more and more convinced by him. The generals are harmonious and happy, and there is nothing to worry about.
As for Wen Chen's side - this is another thing that makes people's eyes drop.
Xie Changfeng is not at all as sharp-edged as his apprentice. At the beginning, he just meditated and practiced his sword every day. He almost regarded the military camp as his Taoist temple. For no reason, he felt that he was invulnerable to swords and guns, and his fighting spirit was raging, and he even felt that an expert should have such a demeanor, and no one expressed dissatisfaction with his behavior.
In the end, it was Hong Wencheng who found a suitable position for him.
Hong Wencheng has a very good eye for seeing people - he only saw Chen Lin once in his life - when he met Xie Changfeng for the first time, he knew that this former friend had completely changed one person.
He is not willing to think about the original Xie Changfeng anymore, because it will undoubtedly make him feel suffocated. He is just trying to persuade himself to accept the present one, and to tactfully reminisce about the slenderness that was cut off before it sprouted. Thoughts buried deep.
In short, no matter what Xie Changfeng was like in the past, he is definitely as talented as Wang Zuozhi like Xun Wenruo today.
That being the case, he should be used in the most suitable position.
Tsk, I don't know what kind of feeling Chen Lin would feel if he saw Changfeng now...
--------------------------------
As the founder and successor of the later Daqi Dynasty, Xie Yuan has always been a controversial historical figure, but even the harshest defenders cannot deny the unparalleled brilliance of this king in the long river of history. Military talent and statecraft.
All the history books have emphasized one point: the emperor who was later named Huaide was only 21 years old when he led the army to capture the capital of the old dynasty.
In the same year, Li Xiude, the founding emperor, came to the throne, and his reign name was Shenwu, known in history as □□□.
Chen's Rebel Army camp.
"Report—Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
A messenger who was covered in dust and dust rushed into the camp of the Chinese army. The spacious camp was packed to the brim at this time. Almost all the dignified officials in the kingdom were gathered here. It was a gloomy expression, and the atmosphere was so stuffy that it almost condensed.
"What's the matter!" Sitting in the highest position, Chen Lin was full of madness. His face was no longer as handsome as it used to be, not to mention the unshaven beard, and there were deep black and blue under the eyes, and his face was eroded by the wine and sagging. Zhui, now that he is nearly forty years old, he already looks like an old man.
The Chen family has always been the weakest line in the three-way rebel army. If it weren't for the good foundation left by his father back then, the territory is also quite dominant, and there are many talented brothers left by General Chen in the army. , I am afraid that this powerful force that ruled the roost for a while has long since silently disappeared in the torrent of war.
But even so, the luck and strength of the Chen family are declining year by year. After the news that Xie Changfeng defected to Li Xiude came three years ago, Chen Lin even made a big fuss. The loss of time was heavy. Later, if he didn't think that the venerable old general couldn't stand it, and took out the sword left by his father to persuade him to die, I'm afraid he would have been depressed for a long time.
After that, in the lord's tent, beauties continued to play and sing day and night, and the ministers couldn't even see the king's face. Only at occasional celebrations could they catch a glimpse of him.
——But don't say it, probably thanks to this, the Chen family was able to continue to survive for three years.
But now, after all, it is impossible to hold on.
"Your Majesty..." The messenger knelt down in the middle of the tent with a plop, his face covered with dust and wind, he kowtowed heavily, and said in grief and indignation, "That man surnamed Xie is too deceitful. After capturing the capital of Wei, he used tricks to lure our army Into the city..."
Chen Lin was startled. Even though he didn't ask about political affairs, he knew that the most elite vanguard army in the Japanese battalion had just been sent to the vicinity of the royal city to fight for the fruits of victory. But look at the state of the herald at this time...
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and even his fingers trembled a little: "How is the forward army?"
"..." The herald paused, choked up and said, "The whole army... was wiped out..."
"..."
It seemed that a huge bomb had been thrown into the camp, and everyone was blown up.
"How is it possible..." Someone asked in a trembling voice, "Xie Yuan's direct army is only [-], and the siege army is only [-] in total, and there is half of the commander of Li's Major General who is holding him back. Our [-] vanguard army, How could it be possible to be beaten...to be beaten..."
"I don't know," the herald gritted his teeth and knelt on the ground, his eyes were red, "I only know that the Li family's army is as unpredictable as darkness, and moves like thunder... General Xie commands like arms and fingers. , Our entire army fought bloody battles, but...we have no power to resist at all."
"Ridiculous!" Chen Lin stood up suddenly, dizzy for a moment because of his too fast movements, he kicked over the cases in front of him, and shouted loudly, "Idiots! They are all idiots! I spend that amount every day. A lot of money raises the army, so these wine bags and rice bags are raised!"
But this time, the ministers of His Highness did not tremble in his anger like before, and they did not kneel down in fear and respect and shout "Your Majesty, calm down".
In fact...he doesn't know how long it has been since he formally went to the palace to discuss matters with the ministers. In the past, he was in the prime of life, and his martial arts were also very advanced. Coupled with the residual prestige left by the old general, he was naturally favored by the stars when he first proclaimed himself emperor. Yue and Lian are called Shengming, but as their arrogance grows more and more, and their abilities gradually decline every day, the current him has long lost the prestige of the past.
Some respected old ministers even reprimanded directly: "Your Majesty is so decent, the more you are in danger, the more calm you should be. You really don't have the style of being a king."
Chen Lin's eyes widened: "What are you talking about...you, you old guy...!"
"Did Mr. Huang say something wrong?" Another general with white beard and hair snorted heavily, obviously dissatisfied with the monarch for a long time, "Now that we are in such a predicament, your majesty still has to punish himself!"
"Hmph...Speaking of which, Xie Changfeng was the closest to our army at first."
"Not our good emperor... treacherous, unfulfilling desires, when I was in Cangyun Peak, God knows I would have burrowed into the ground in shame!"
"When Xie Changfeng was here, how many difficulties and obstacles we have overcome, and Changfengjian as a friend, there is really nothing to say..."
"And Xie Yuan! If he can teach one Xie Yuan, can't he teach the second one? Besides, if the master and apprentice want to follow, if Changfeng Jian is here all the time, are you afraid that the Heijiajun won't be named Chen?"
"Enough!" Listening to the whispers below, Chen Lin felt a rush of hot air suddenly rushing up, burning him to the ground, and his eyes were full of deep red bloodshot eyes, "On the contrary, since you have already Why didn't you say it when you thought it was inappropriate! Come here to complain about things now, is this the way of your ministers!"
The noisy voice was covered by him, but looking at the angry and unconvinced faces, he suddenly felt very tired.
Obviously... He was the one who befriended Xie Changfeng in the first place, and everyone here took it for granted to enjoy each other's contribution, and even after several old subordinates repeatedly fiddled with him, he made the decision to use the Cangran faction as a promotion level decision.
Didn't they say that rebellion is different from vendettas? The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. The strength of real swords and guns is much more important than the so-called good reputation. Didn't they say that this world is ruled by heroes? , everything can be sold for profit, there can't be unnecessary womanly benevolence?
Why now, all the blame is on him, the lord...
Xie Changfeng, Xie Changfeng... What kind of magical power do you have? Why has my life become such a mess since I met you?
From Wen Cheng's departure, to the failure of the temporary recruitment plan to recuperate, to the notoriety and accusations of thousands of people, and finally now... the huge foundation is in the blink of an eye, why can't you let me go!
"Report—" The ever-changing battlefield does not care whether these people's hearts are as messy as the big tent at this time. Before everyone can argue about the reason, the voice of the herald outside is heard again like a reminder .
The second herald rushed into the tent, describing it as more embarrassing than his predecessor: "Your Majesty, it's not good——Zhang Yiliang's troops have been completely dispersed by the Li family. Li Xiude will be surrendered in Yicheng at noon tomorrow, and the news has already spread. Already!"
"Deoksugong can't hold on anymore..." The old man Huang who started to scold him just now looked dispirited, staring blankly at the soldier who brought the bad news, "Our army is even weaker, how long can we hold on... Your Majesty, please make a decision early!"
"The decision to make a fart early!" Chen Lin was startled, stared at him fiercely, and couldn't help but swear, "How can the prime minister boost other people's ambitions and destroy his own prestige... My Chen family still has 30 troops , the soldiers and horses are strong and the food and grass are sufficient, and Li Xiude may not have a chance of winning against him!"
"Alas..." Prime Minister Huang sighed, seeing that he couldn't listen, he didn't try to persuade him, and he winked directly at several colleagues who also controlled the power. Everyone fell silent together, and lost his temper with Chen Lin again. They all said goodbye.
This lord really couldn't support him. After these years, the army became more and more disorganized, that is, he himself, and he still regarded himself as the only emperor.
These old fellows haven't lived enough, and now it is the general trend to surrender, and it is actually a good thing if the lord doesn't cooperate... If you do it well, you can give yourself and your descendants prosperity and wealth in their later years.
What Chen Lin said earlier is also true. With their current strength, if they are united and fight Li Xiude to the death, even if there is no hope of winning, they will definitely be able to gnaw a piece of meat from the old man——so, at this time, please Surrender, there is a lot to do when negotiating.
It can only be said that...likes gather together and people are divided into groups. Chen Lin can be taught this kind of virtue, which is enough to imagine who the "elders" around him are.
On the other side, Xie Yuan was holding a celebration banquet with his soldiers.
They belonged to the advance troops, and captured the capital of Wei with lightning speed, and wiped out [-] soldiers and horses of Chen Lin—and the large troops in the rear were led by veterans in the army. Easily consumed.
Li Xiude has been in dormancy for these years, not claiming to be a king but not coming out, he has been keeping a low profile and saving energy, and at this moment, he shocked the world with one action, and the situation that had been stalemate for many years changed in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Yiliang will be surrendered tomorrow. The reason why he chose Yicheng is because this place is not far from Wei. Li Xiude thought of the hard work of the vanguard, so he specially invited them back to join in the grand event.
Of course, the biggest reason should be to ensure your own safety.
But... Xie Yuan didn't care why the old man asked him to go back, he couldn't wait to return, the only reason was - to see the master who had been staying in the Chinese army again!
"General?" Wang Zexi's face was flushed, he was holding a big sea bowl in his hand, and before he walked in front of the boss, most of the fragrant wine in it had been spilled, "Today... it's so easy to lift the ban today, so I don't want to talk to my brother Let's drink, why are you having fun there alone..."
"General! Let's drink more with the brothers!"
"Haha, get him drunk! I don't believe it, with so many of us here, we can't beat him alone?"
"General, do it!"
Xie Yuan smiled brightly, proudly took the sea bowl in Wang Zexi's hand, raised his neck and drank it clean.
His clear eyes became hot, and the raging flames in them almost ignited people.
"Dry!"
