Devil Class Cannon Fodder

It has been nearly four years since Gu Qing became the lord of Yu State, and now Yu State has become the most powerful country.

In the past four years, while Yu State expanded abroad, it also paid great attention to the development of farming.Not only has it become an area of ​​Shu County, but agriculture has developed rapidly, even in the original Yu country, it still attaches great importance to farming.Improvements have also been made on one or two agricultural tools; at the same time, there are agricultural methods, such as the division and arrangement of the 24 solar terms, which have played an important role in agricultural production.

Next, assimilate the people in the expanded territory, and implement the strategy of "seeking common ground while reserving differences" on the surface, so as to reduce the distance between the people in different countries and gain more sense of identity.That is to say, there are more times of Huairou, but what should be tough externally is still very tough.

This is reflected in Yu Jun's military style.

With the frequent occurrence of wars, many teenagers became famous.

In the past, there were great generals Yu Qian and great generals Wei Mu, who were well-known as the great generals of the State of Yu.Now there are several rising stars, among them is Wei Kuo, the son of General Wei Mu. When he became famous in one fell swoop, he was against Zheng Guo, and he was not very old.This kind of fame experience reminded many people of Huo Huaichuan back then.

If Huo Huaichuan hadn't been rejected, then Wei Kuo might not be able to stand out so easily.

However, if there is no if, Huo Huaichuan is now seen by everyone as a passing day, and it is not worth mentioning-it is the same, Huo Huaichuan has disappeared in front of people in the past few years, and he has no chance to lead the army again. Very fatal blow.Just like a sword, if it is not used for many days, it will gradually lose its former sharpness.

Fortunately, the loss of Huo Huaichuan will not affect the speed of the country's expansion.

However, the Yu army is not always victorious. First, Wei Kuo almost fell into the trap of Fei army when Wei Kuo led his troops against Fei army.

This is unprecedented.

Soon rumors spread that Yan Wei Kuo was relying on a lieutenant general who was suspected of collaborating with the enemy.This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that this deputy general was recommended by Wei Kuo's father, General Wei Mu, to the king before the war.It is said that the lieutenant general had saved Wei Mu's life in the past, and Wei Mu remembered it because of this.

This time Yu Jun was hovering on the edge of the trap, and it was this lieutenant who leaked the military aircraft.If Wei Kuo hadn't changed his mind at the end of the day, I'm afraid this battle would be defeated.

The rumors spread more and more intensely, saying that General Wei Mu did not know people clearly, and with his illustrious military achievements and prestige among the people, he did not take the Lord of Yu State seriously, which was a sign that his meritorious service surpassed the Lord.

When Yan Guo was begging for land, he found that he had been deceived, and immediately sent troops to Yu State.

The general led the army to meet the enemy.

Also, because of its geographical location, the Yue Kingdom, which had never been involved, quietly dispatched troops to support the Fei Kingdom, which was targeted by both the Yu Kingdom and the Zheng Kingdom.This news, due to the high mountains and far waters, has not yet spread, but Fei Guo knew the news in advance, so he had a reliance, and his morale rose a lot at once.

On the other hand, in the country of Yu, because of the rumors that spread more and more intensely, the morale of the army showed signs of slackening.

Originally, the good situation in Yu country seemed to be cast a shadow all of a sudden.

He Lingyu is no longer in the same distress as before, and being brought by Fei Wangqian's side, he loves him even more than before.

Originally, because of He Lingyu's exposure, Zheng Guo turned his finger on Fei Guo. Fei Guo's situation was in danger. Fei Guo should hate him, but He Lingyu regained Fei Wangqian's favor by relying on his sharp tongue. Favor is even better.

This is inseparable from Fei Guo's defeat of Yu Jun's morale before.Also, the Yue Kingdom sent troops, which was also due to He Lingyu.

This allowed He Lingyu to regain his previous confidence in strategizing. Although Wei Kuo's entire army was not wiped out this time, which was beyond his expectations, overall it was flawless.He Lingyu was just waiting to see the temporary change of generals in the Yu Kingdom, which would lead to disharmony between the monarch and his subjects, which would lead to a crushing defeat.

However, not only Wei Kuo was his general as always, when the reinforcements of the Vietnamese army came.General Wei Mu also crossed the Yellow River with his army, and he received the same respect as before.

He Lingyu: "!!" Yu State shouldn't have gotten the news so quickly, that is, even if Yu State got the news of Yue State, even if it sent troops immediately, it could only be at this moment, not already. And here it comes!

It doesn't matter, he has also gained the trust of Queen Chu. At that time, Chu State, who was supposed to be in cahoots with Yu State and take away the threat of Pei State for Yu State, will turn against him.Still, when Pei State marches towards the border of Yu State, the Yu army that temporarily responds to the enemy will be attacked on both sides.

According to He Lingyu's speculation, at that time, Yu Guoguo sent a general who was supposed to fight against Yan Guo.Yu made great contributions to Yu's external expansion. When he was attacked by the enemy and was killed by Chu, then Yu's defense to the north would quickly collapse.

However, Yu State did not disperse its forces against Yan State, nor did it treat General Yu as two people, but sent another general to fight against Pei State.

Not only that, before Chu Jun had time to kill the carbine, Yu Jun found out and came to preemptive strikes.

What's more worth mentioning is that it was Huo Huaichuan who led the troops this time.The Yu army he brought was elite soldiers who had never been seen before, and Huo Huaichuan, who was considered "rusty" in the past few years, was a little more calm than before, but still extremely sharp.At that time, it was like a sharp knife, straight to the enemy's hinterland.

He Lingyu: "!!"

How could this be?

Is the Lord of Yu really trusting his subordinates so much?Even if the previous plan of separation did not allow the Lord of Yu to take the throne and killed Wei Mu, who had made great achievements, he should be wary of their father and son and would not let them lead the army again.

And Huo Huaichuan!

More importantly, why is it that Yu Guo is one step ahead of him now?

Could it be that there are spies on his side?

No matter how He Lingyu thought about it, he couldn't figure it out. What's more, what he should think about now was not the affairs of other countries, but his own country, Feiguo.Fei country was already living in the cracks, even with the support of the Vietnamese army, but what they had to face was a heavy attack from the powerful country Yu, and Zheng country also participated.

In addition, the total number of Vietnamese troops sent by the State of Yue is no more than this, and seeing that not only there is no benefit to be gained, but also heavy losses, then the troops will be withdrawn decisively.

In the end, Fei Guo was left alone.

At this time, there was also a reward offer from the Yu Kingdom, and a huge reward was offered for "shit stirrer" He Lingyu.This person not only separated Yu and Zheng, but also used alienation schemes to harm the loyal and good people of Yu. Fortunately, the master of the Yu country was wise and powerful, broad-minded, loved Zhongliang, and did not believe in gossip, so he was not fooled by this shit-stirring stick.

But if he failed, he failed. For a sinister villain like He Lingyu, the Lord of Yu Kingdom really couldn't tolerate him.If anyone presents the head of this little man, then the State of Yu will reward him with a thousand pieces of gold.

He Lingyu: "!!!"

Speaking of which, He Lingyu is the son of Fei Guo, but he is lower in sequence, and there are several older brothers above him.The crown prince Xi was born to the queen, and he was not the same mother as him, but since childhood He Lingyu has been favored more than before, this time has undoubtedly aroused the jealousy of the crown prince Xi.

It's just that He Lingyu is in the limelight, so it's not easy for the prince to act rashly.

Now that He Lingyu has become the target of public criticism, the prince knows that the opportunity has come.

Seeing that the territory of Fei Kingdom was being swallowed up one after another, the crown prince went to speak to King Fei, persuading King Fei to hand over He Lingyu in exchange for a chance of life for Fei Kingdom.

King Fei hesitated.

And although He Lingyu suffered setbacks one after another, he was not surprised to see his relatives wanting to confront him with swords, because he already knew what kind of person the prince was.Short-sighted, narrow-minded, jealous of talents.

As for King Fei's performance, He Lingyu also laughed in his heart.Fei Guo shouldn't be like this, but everyone in the royal family is drunk and he is sober alone, let alone he is powerless to recover.

He Lingyu restrained his turbulent mood, and took the initiative to step forward and said: "Father, I am willing to die."

Not only that, He Lingyu also said that since he is dead, let him die more valuable.

King Fei sighed, "You tell me, my son."

Not long after, a swordsman went to see Langcheng, the city of King Yu, and said that he brought He Lingyu's head and wanted to present it to King Yu.

Gu Qing raised his eyebrows.

Although this swordsman is not named Jing Ke, this scene is very similar to "Jing Ke Assassinates the King of Qin" in the original history.But let Gu Qing say that the current development cannot be said to be without his help behind the scenes. At least the combination of He Lingyu's previous tricks could have had miraculous effects, but they were all smashed by him one by one. He Lingyu was forced to this point.

Gu Qing was somewhat suspicious that it was He Lingyu who revealed the affair between Princess Yangyue and Huo Huaichuan in the original plot, and the sudden sudden death of the original owner might also have something to do with He Lingyu.This person hides behind the scenes, but he has often disturbed the situation in the world. As far as conspiracy and tricks are concerned, He Lingyu is a master, but his flaws are also obvious. He does not have a strong force at hand.

No, strictly speaking, He Lingyu was alone.

He Lingyu also wholeheartedly believed that he could save Fei Guo from danger with his wisdom, and no one else could, only he could.

But how did that sentence come from, breaking ten meetings with one effort.No matter how smart He Lingyu is, Fei Guo's national strength is still weak.It will not be because the national power of other countries may be weakened by He Lingyu's ideas, and the national power of Fei country will become stronger.That's impossible. In the face of powerful force, Fei country will still be wiped out.

Then again, "Jing Ke Assassinates the King of Qin" is now replaced with "Fan Pei Assassinates the King of Yu", and there is nothing wrong with it. Gu Qing was actually waiting for this - the swordsman who came to present He Lingyu's head, named Fan Pei, Is it from Zheng Guo, or an old acquaintance of He Lingyu.

Not only that, but Gu Qing also knew that it was He Lingyu's own idea.It's just that it's hard to say whether this head belongs to He Lingyu.Although King Zheng had sent a portrait of He Lingyu before, there was still a big difference between the portrait and the real person. Besides, did King Zheng confirm that what he saw was the real face of He Lingyu?

Furthermore, with He Lingyu's scheming, didn't he not know that Fei Guo pushed him out, no doubt drinking poison to quench his thirst?

Anyway, Gu Qing pretended not to think that much, and allowed Fan Pei to bring a box containing He Lingyu's head to meet him.

When Fan Pei had an audience, there were still many ministers of Yu State in the hall.The general was the same as before, Wei Mu and others were not there, they were still on the front line, even Huo Huaichuan brought elite soldiers, and went straight to Peiwang City with all his might.As for Huo Huaichuan's heroic performance, and the fact that Gu Qing resolutely ordered him to go on the expedition, there was an uproar in Langcheng during this period, and many people gradually came to their senses, thinking that this was a surprise move. Other inside information.

It's just that everyone's guesses are guesses, and no one will speak out and ask the king sitting behind the throne.

A few years have passed, and the lord of the country has become more and more graceful, and his emotions and anger have gradually changed.

That is to say, when the rumors about Wei Mu and Wei Kuo came out, the lord of the country was furious, and his hatred for the instigator behind it was also real.Therefore, the courtiers were not surprised that the king would personally summon the grassland of another country who presented He Lingyu's head.

Look at Fan Pei, a grassroots man. He is about 27 or [-] years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, holding a wooden box in both hands.He did not bring a map like Jing Ke did, and hid the dagger at the end of the map, but he said that he had brought evidence that He Lingyu had alienated Vice General Wei Mu, and when he unfolded the evidence written on the cloth, suddenly He drew out the poisoned dagger.

Fan Pei was holding the dagger, staring at the king sitting behind the case, as if his eyes had been poisoned, he was bound to turn into a poisonous snake and take the life of the king.But the lord of the country sat quietly behind the court case, but he didn't move, as if he was so frightened by the sudden change that he couldn't move.

Fan Pei sneered.

Everything was developing so fast that everyone didn't react for a while.

"Suffer to death!"

"Your Majesty!"

This moment must be a close call, a moment of great importance.

The tip of the dagger in Fan Pei's hand was about to touch the lord's clothes, but something happened again. The poisoned dagger with a blue light suddenly changed its appearance, from a dagger to a poisonous snake.It was a genuine poisonous snake. The poisonous snake was still hissing and spitting out its core. It turned around and bit Fan Pei's wrist.

Fan Pei: "!!!"

Time seemed to resume its original flow, and everyone's every move no longer seemed to be in slow motion, but they were still in a daze.

At this time, the king shouted: "Where is the inner guard?"

The inner guards responded outside the hall, unconsciously distracting everyone's attention.

When everyone continued to look at it, there was no poisonous snake. The one that fell from Fan Pei's hand would still know the dagger.

The dagger fell on the bluestone floor and made a crisp metallic sound. It was definitely not a poisonous snake, it would be the sound of a touch.But looking at the aggressive Fan Pei, he maintained a ferocious expression, and then fell limply on the ground, with his clothes covering his wrists, and no one could see clearly whether there was a poisonous snake biting his wrists or not. under the traces.But if the dagger hadn't turned into a poisonous snake like what they saw at that moment, how could Fan Pei's sudden death be explained?

But what if the dagger really turned into a poisonous snake like they saw?

At this time, the servant Wang Chaoqing called out loudly: "Your Majesty!"

Their great king stood behind the case with a calm expression, "I'm so lucky that I don't suffer from this. In the future, I will wipe out the Liuhe and unify the world!"

Before everyone had time to think about the first half of the sentence, they were infected by the second half of the sentence. For a moment, the emotions of bewilderment, doubt and uncertainty were swept away, and ambitions flooded into their hearts.

Gu Guozhu glanced around, feeling quite satisfied.

Fan Pei's assassination of King Yu soon spread.

King Fei turned pale with shock.

Even Zheng Wang was shocked, after all, Fan Pei was from Zheng Guo, and everyone would think that Zheng Wang ordered him to do that.But King Zheng was innocent, he didn't know about it at all, and it wasn't his instigator at all.As soon as King Zheng thought about it, he blamed this incident on He Lingyu, and he also hated Fei Guo. Instead, he worked harder than before to help Yu State and attack Fei Guo.

In another month, General Wei Mu of the State of Yu attacked Yecheng, the city of King Fei, and King Fei was forced to surrender.

fee broken.

The crown prince Xiben led a hundred members of his clan to flee to the city, but was blocked, the prince was defeated by Xiben and surrendered.

King Zheng did not dare to take the land of Fei State as Zheng State's property, so the original land of Fei State was changed to the counties of Yu State, and the city of King Fei, Yecheng, was Ye County.General Wei Mu returned to the court with his troops, and stayed in Wei Kuo to lead an army of [-]. They stationed in the original territory of Fei State, stationed troops to practice martial arts, and faced Yue State far away.

Huo Huaichuan also attacked Jicheng, King Pei's city in the spring of the following year, and King Pei had to surrender.At this time, King Chu's uncle, Chu Run, took advantage of the previous queen's betrayal and killed the former queen, which ignited the conflict with Prince Cang, causing chaos in the state of Chu.

After Huo Huaichuan captured Pei State, he did not return to the court with his troops. Instead, he led his troops to station in Daliang City in Pei State.Waiting for the order from the King of Yu Kingdom, Huo Huaichuan led the army to besiege the Kingdom of Zheng, and poured water into Sucheng, the king's city of Zheng.

More than two months later, Sucheng was broken, and King Zheng led his concubines and children to surrender.

Zheng died.

King Zheng and his concubines and children were escorted to Yu State.It is said that they are escorts, but in fact they are now prisoners, and they are not as good as the treatment that Princess Yangyue received when she went to marry her.

The matter of Zheng Guo's subjugation was first reported back to Yu Guo, and even Princess Yangyue, who had been staying in the Huo family, learned about it from the discussions of the servants.

Princess Yangyue was at a loss at first, but she realized later that her mother country had perished, and it was still at the hands of Huo Huaichuan.Princess Yangyue's tears could no longer be controlled and flowed down her cheeks.

Speaking of which, when Princess Yangyue came to Yu State, she was only 16 years old.Even now, six years later, she is only 22 years old.

In addition, in the Huo family, the Huo family has never withheld her food and clothing, nor treated her harshly, made her go to hard work, and even had servants by her side, which means that Princess Yangyue still lives without worrying about food and clothing. Therefore, Princess Yangyue is even more beautiful than before.

But Princess Yangyue has become a dry well, without any vitality.She has cried, complained, thought, and read, but in the end, not only did she not look forward to Huo Huaichuan's change of heart, but she was looking forward to the news that he had killed his mother country by himself.

Princess Yangyue's last wish turned into ashes.

"Why? Why does it have to be you?"

Crystal clear teardrops fell, like morning dew, making Princess Yangyue look even more charming.But now there is nothing more sad than heartbreak, no matter how much Princess Yangyue cries, she won't get any response.

The servants had long been accustomed to her attitude, but they didn't let up.After all, they were ordered to keep Princess Yangyue alive, even if she had her head in the white silk, they had to be pulled back.

Besides, is Princess Yangyue's reaction wrong?Her own mother country is dead, and she mourns for the sake of mourning, but not for the sake of the country's death.

On second thought, yes, if Princess Yangyue really cared about Zheng Guo, she shouldn't have done such a thing in the first place.That's not right, what Princess Yangyue did really played a role in alienating, but Princess Yangyue's original intention didn't seem to be like this.

Ugh.

The servants didn't know how to judge her.

A few days later, Huo Huaichuan's class returned to the court, entered Langcheng, and was summoned by the king.

This is Huo Huaichuan's rare visit to the palace in the past few years.The last time the previous king appointed him as the commander to attack Pei.At that time, Huo Huaichuan was unbelievable. He thought that the lord was still thinking about their old relationship, and that if he didn't kill him, he would have done his best, but he didn't expect that the lord would still believe that he didn't slack off in those few years, that he could still lead troops to fight, He is also willing to defy all opinions and appoint him as a general.

Guilt hit Huo Huaichuan's heart layer by layer like a tidal wave.

Huo Huaichuan only knew that he had nothing to repay, he could only break the enemy and attack the city on the battlefield, and expand the territory of Yu State.

Huo Huaichuan did indeed do it, both Pei Guo and Zheng Guo were brought down by him.

Especially Zheng Guo.

Others soon forgot that Huo Huaichuan was once rejected, and thought he was a meritorious minister, but Huo Huaichuan himself had no confidence. He came to Wangcheng this time, feeling extremely uneasy.

While Huo Huaichuan was waiting for an audience outside the hall, several children came hula-la.The oldest among them was only eight years old, he was wearing a black suit, and beside him was a slightly younger boy, holding a wooden sword in his hand.There were also a few children, boys and girls, followed by a group of servants, and the leading servant shouted: "Sir, slow down!"

The oldest boy was obviously Gong Zizhang, his eyes were bright and energetic, and there was a bit of a king's image between his brows and eyes.

As for the boy holding the wooden sword, he also looks a bit like Huo Huaichuan, that is Huo Huaichuan's nephew, Huo Bing.When choosing a companion for Gongzizhang before, Gongzizhang chose him, and there was another one year younger than him.

Huo Huaichuan had heard his father, Huo Ping, talk about this before. Now when he saw this group of children, he just ignored the others. He only looked at Gongzi Zhang and Huo Bing. Thinking of the past, his nose was sour, and he almost shed tears. .

At this time, the lord of the country, Gu Qing, was receiving a small piece of cloth, which was brought back by the pigeon.In the previous battles, the carrier pigeons played a pivotal role, and now they are no longer used to convey military information, but they still have to convey other information for Gu Qing.

The news brought back this time was related to He Lingyu.

After reading it, Gu Qing raised his eyebrows slightly.

Then he heard the internal servant Wang Chaoqing say that General Huo had an audience, Gu Qing put the cloth strip aside, and thought: Another play is about to be performed.

The author has something to say: Gu Qing: Pretentiousness is like the wind, always with me.Life is like a play, all depends on acting skills.
