Inside the big tent, the map was hung on a wooden board on the side.
The curtain was lifted, and the morning light outside shone slightly on the map.
Uda lit a candle and placed it next to the map.
"Hanbi lost 10,000 horses last time, leaving 60,000. This time Bianjing dispatched 40,000 reinforcements, which adds up to 100,000 horses. 100,000 horses should not be underestimated."
Pei Jian made an opening statement first and then withdrew.
The King of Qin took a sip of tea and said: "Our army currently has two routes to attack Yongzhou, but Hanbi has a hundred thousand troops in hand, and Yongzhou City is at arm's length, so our army is passive. And Xinzhou is on the side, and may attack our army at any time.
On the right. This battle is dangerous.
The second is to still attack Xinzhou. Han Bi will definitely lead his army behind and wait for an opportunity to attack our army. What is even more worrying is that if he divides his troops to attack Jinzhou..."
"That is to cut off our army's retreat!" Jiang Cunzhong said: "Your Highness, I believe that the only way is to fight quickly. Once the delay continues... our army is in danger!"
"It seems that Han Bi has been planning this for a long time." He Lianrong said: "Our army seems to have gained benefits by capturing Jinzhou, but then it is a dilemma."
"Is Jin Yiwei confident?" King Qin asked.
He Lianyan came out and said without hesitation: "Yes!"
King Qin nodded, "Okay! However, whether there is or not, Xinzhou, Gu, is determined!"
…
The Northern Xinjiang Army was approaching, and the people in Xinzhou City were busy collecting food. The merchants also raised the price of food, taking advantage of the war to make a fortune.
Ma Qun had just returned from an inspection. After returning to Zhoushe, someone came to report.
"Zhizhou, someone is spreading rumors about you outside."
"What rumors?" Ma Qun said calmly: "I act upright and sit upright, what are you afraid of?"
"You said..." The person who came was a petty official with a troubled look on his face, "You said you used public funds to support...support women."
Ma Qun's eyelids twitched suddenly, "That's nonsense."
"Yes." The clerk excused himself.
Ma Qun said coldly: "Tell them that those who are spreading rumors at this moment have ulterior motives."
The staff next to him said: "I'm afraid it has something to do with Huang Chi. Zhizhou, if this matter is brought to Bianjing, it will be a scandal!"
The scholar-officials of the Southern Zhou Dynasty were in a very advantageous situation. For example, when it came to prostitution, the Tang Dynasty had rules that officials were not allowed to enter or leave brothels. Although the rules had long existed in name only, they were still not abolished.
However, among the literati and officials in the Southern Zhou Dynasty, it was considered a refined thing to visit prostitutes.
A man!
How can literature be inspired without women?
I go to a brothel not to go whoring, but to find inspiration.
There were mean people in the Southern Zhou Dynasty who gave the writing style of these literati a name: Thigh Style! They ridiculed that such people could only recite poems and write lyrics while lying on a woman's thigh.
Prostitution is a transaction, and there is no problem with the transaction. But the nature of keeping a woman has changed.
This is moral corruption!
In the Southern Zhou Dynasty, you could wash the emperor's face with saliva, you could be proud of the princes, you could go in and out of flower streets and willow alleys, and you could use public funds to eat, drink and have fun, but you just couldn't let your morals be stained.
Once things come to a head, Ma Qun's career is basically over.
From now on, the most I can do is serve as an official in a remote place and spend my life in regret.
This is unacceptable to the horses.
"Is that thief with the army really easy to bully?" A sharp look flashed in Ma Qun's eyes, "Call him!"
The horses then went to the lobby.
"Bring some tea."
Ma Qun sat down and looked calm, "No need to order tea."
Tea art was an indispensable skill for the scholar-officials of the Southern Zhou Dynasty. Later it spread, and even the common people fell in love with tea fighting. Whenever they had nothing to do, they would make a cup of tea each person, and everyone would compete to see who could make the better tea.
Before I finished drinking a cup of tea, there were rapid footsteps.
"The scouts of the Northern Xinjiang Army are constantly approaching, cutting off the eyes and ears of our army, and then the army will press on the border..."
Huang Chi said as he entered the lobby.
"At this moment, all I can think about is defending the city. If Zhizhou has nothing to do, he can do whatever he wants."
"What does it mean to relieve oneself?"
Ma Qun was trying to catch him, and sneered when he heard this, "I am the magistrate of Xinzhou, and everything in Xinzhou is under my jurisdiction. I asked you to come here to discuss the city defense, but you didn't
I'm trying to push you away in every possible way, and I'm impatient with you. Do you really think I'm easy to bully? Come on!"
Boom!
The tea cup was smashed down, and the tea splashed on Huang Chi's feet who looked confused.
"Why should I shirk it in every possible way?" Huang Chi was angry.
More than a dozen petty officials and sergeants came in. The horses pointed at Huang Chi and said, "Take it down!"
Huang Chi was furious, "Who dares?!"
"You dare to disobey the order!?" Ma Qun sneered, "Or do you want to rebel?"
Huang Chi hesitated for a moment, then was controlled and then tied up.
"Let the officials from the state come."
The state officials gathered outside the lobby.
"beat!"
Huang Chi was pinned down on a bench, and two servants beat him hard with wooden boards.
Bang bang bang!
Being stripped off in public is humiliating, and being beaten with a cane is even more disgraceful.
Bang bang bang!
Twenty sticks later, the two executioners took a look inside the hall.
If the fight continues, something will happen.
Ma Qun sat in the hall and sneered: "Are you his accomplice?"
Bang bang bang!
The old dog is trying to kill me... Huang Chi felt desperate and tried to look up, wanting to ask for help.
But the eyes of those officials looking at him contained pity, gloating, disdain, and amusement...but there was no sympathy or anger.
Civilization and martial arts have different paths!
Just when he was desperate, a sergeant hurried in and saw him being tortured. He was startled for a moment, and then shouted: "The Northern Xinjiang Army is coming."
The horses in the hall were calm and calm, "Why are you panic? Keep an eye on the city. I will be here soon."
He stood up and walked out, glanced at Huang Chi, "I'll spare you for today, why don't you go to the city head quickly?"
The sergeant rushed over, untied the rope, and helped Huang Chi get up and swim away.
In the army, soldiers who have committed crimes are often punished with a cane. Doctors have summed up a set of experiences. If the injury is not serious, after the cane is used, you can quickly stand up and walk around a few times, and do some exercise. This will help you get better quickly.
The horses left with the people, and the sergeant couldn't help but get angry when he saw Huang Chi gritting his teeth and persisting. At this time, Ding Zhuo came in and was shocked when he saw this, "Why is this?"
Huang Chi gritted his teeth and said, "Old dog can just find an excuse and punish me with a stick in front of everyone. Not to mention the number of punishments."
Not to mention the number of sticks, it means beating him to death. It is similar to the hints of the inner and outer horoscopes of the inner and outer horoscopes in another world.
With tears in his eyes, Ding Zhuo held Huang Chi's other side and said, "The Northern Xinjiang Army is coming. If we win this battle, the old dog will definitely find another reason to beat you to death."
If defeated, he would either be captured or die in battle.
Huang Chi was breathing rapidly and his face turned red.
"Defense envoy..." Ding Zhuo said softly: "Whether you win or lose, you will never escape death."
"Why is the old dog like this?" Huang Chi asked painfully.
"When I came here, I heard some rumors from outside." Ding Zhuo said, "It is said that the prefect uses public funds to support his women."
"This is a matter of moral corruption. Although I know it, I haven't told anyone about it... Does the old dog think I am spreading it?" Huang Chi became angry, and then turned pale, "Now that the war is about to begin, how can we find out what is being spread?
people?"
You are dead!
Ding Zhuo and the sergeant both lowered their heads.
"Go to the city head first and take a look."
Huang Chi couldn't ride a horse, so he could only be carried slowly to the bottom of the city by the two men. When he went up the steps, every step was extremely painful. He gritted his teeth and endured it.
Before I even walked up to the top of the city, I heard the roar of the mountains outside, like a tsunami.
"Your Highness, Chitose!"
"Your Highness, Chitose!"
"Your Highness, Chitose!"
Huang Chi walked up to the city battlements and saw military formations in front of him.
Countless soldiers of the Northern Xinjiang Army were arrayed in black armor, infantry and cavalry, in an orderly manner.
Under the banner of the Chinese army, someone came on horseback.
The person who came was a civil servant, and there were two monks beside him, each holding a shield, ready to block the crossbow arrows from the city.
The civil servant shouted at the top of his lungs:
"His Highness said that the Tang Dynasty and the Southern Zhou Dynasties share the same culture and race, and they are one family. Nian Xu spied on the Tang Dynasty and humiliated His Highness. Your Highness was furious and immediately raised troops to go south..."
These words made the reason for going south very clear.
"Your Highness has the ambition to unify the world. He will destroy the Northern Liao Dynasty and unify the Tang Dynasty. Only the Southern Zhou Dynasty will remain in the world. At this time, except for the officials who oppose the New Deal, the rest will be hired according to their grades. You can think carefully about it. Don't do it.
Self-mistaken!"
The civil servants retreated, and the two monks stared at the city head, where more than ten defenders held crossbows but did not fire them.
"No, why are you looking at the horses?" a monk asked in surprise.
"yes!"
The defenders were all looking at the horses with complicated expressions.
Ma Qun was one of the leading figures in the literary world who opposed the New Deal.
According to King Qin's rules, once the defenders surrender, everyone will have a good future, except the horses. They will probably have to go home to eat old rice!
Ma Qun sneered and said: "Prime Minister Han is leading the army outside. Our army only needs to stay on guard and wait for Prime Minister Han to attack."
There was no momentum in what he said. Huang Chi coughed dryly and subconsciously wanted to add something. But then he lowered his eyes with gloomy eyes.
Ding Zhuo said in a low voice: "I've been hired according to grade!"
Huang Ci is a defensive envoy. If he surrenders, his status will be high.
"The horses are a little disappointed." Ding Zhuo gloated.
The horses cheered the defenders at the top of the city, composed a poem, and went back to have lunch with great enthusiasm.
On that day, the Northern Xinjiang Army did not attack the city.
In the early morning of the next day, Huang Chi limped up to the top of the city.
Later, the horses also came.
When he saw Huang Chi, he snorted coldly. "A thief joins the army!"
Huang Chi held the city head with both hands and looked carefully into the distance.
In the distance, the Northern Xinjiang Army is approaching.
Rows of sergeants marched forward in order, and the sound of footsteps was breathtaking, making you feel that your own heart was beating with this rhythm!
The army stopped.
The civil servant came down again accompanied by two monks.
Shouted: "Have you figured it out yet?"
No one said anything at the top of the city.
"The civil servants of the Southern Zhou Dynasty regard you as pigs and dogs, but in the Tang Dynasty, if the civil servants dared to humiliate the military men, the Shangguan would naturally make the decision for you and the others. The Shangguan cannot make the decision, and there is Your Highness! Your Highness said that the soldiers cannot be allowed to bleed for the country.
Tears again!”
Huang Chi's body was shocked!
He whispered: "We cannot let our soldiers bleed and shed tears for the country!"
Ma Qun drew out his long sword, pointed at the civil servants and cursed: "My officers and soldiers of Zhou Dynasty are loyal to Your Majesty, but you provocateurs make people laugh, hahahaha!"
Choking!
A long knife was placed on his neck.
Huang Chi's voice came from behind.
