When Zheng Qiao received the news, it had only been two days since Shen Tang deceived Linxian. These two days had been thrilling and exhausting. Because Shentang had no intention of holding Linxian and had cleared out Linxian's warehouses and warehouses in advance. A pile of military supplies.
She moved all these things away.
Arm the military town that was initially deceived to the teeth.
At this point, she stopped pretending and showed her cards.
Learn from Wei Shou and never give up your true happiness!
He wanted to write the words "Come here and chop me if you have the guts" written on his face. The provocative meaning came to his face through the words on the battle report. Zheng Qiao's mood was not very stable to begin with. After seeing the content on the battle report, I was so angry that veins popped up on my forehead.
All the courtiers who were summoned for discussion lowered their heads one after another, even breathing cautiously, for fear that a big gasp would lead to death. Compared with the cautious fear of these people, the generals under Zheng Qiao's account were obviously much more open-minded, and they all asked for battle: " They are just little thieves, but they are just some clever little things that cannot be put on the stage. The general is willing to lead his troops to eradicate them and lower the morale of the opponent!"
As he finished speaking, there were echoes in twos and threes.
Zheng Qiao's expression was gloomy and uncertain, and he couldn't tell his specific attitude. He just pinched off the brief letter with the information with one hand, and was crushed into powder by his literary style. At this time, a civil servant who usually kept a low profile stood up and sang. Backtracking and pouring a basin of cold water on me.
He said indifferently: "Eradicate? The general underestimated the enemy too much. The one who was tricked by Shen Youli into opening the city gate was Cunshan. This place was a city defense that the king spent several years building to serve as a buffer for Qushan County and at the same time Coordinate with Okuyama County...Under normal circumstances, even if our side wins all three battles, we still need three to five times the strength of the city's defenders to win..."
He chuckled and said: "Although Shen Youli used a trick to trick the guards in Cunshan City into leaving the city in batches. We don't know their specific strength, but we guess that there are always ten thousand. In other words, if we want to recapture Cunshan City, If you want to attack the mountain, you will have to send at least 30,000 troops. If this is the case, the purpose of dividing the troops to contain the enemy will be achieved."
Because of Zheng Qiao's attitude and behavior, his generals have always looked down on these civil servants. Now that he was confronted with it, he couldn't help but feel a little angry. He said in a strange way: "According to what you said, let's take this Shen Youli Nothing can be done? Let him stay in Cunshan and eventually develop into a serious enemy? Humph, we can capture it without 30,000 but 20,000 troops!"
When the civil servant saw this, he just sneered and said nothing.
Until now, these reckless men with eyes in Tianlinggai still haven't seen the current situation clearly, and they will definitely end badly!
Of course, not everyone is reckless.
There are also people who understand the situation in Cunshan and sigh helplessly.
The most speechless person is probably the country’s leader.
He spent time, energy, money and manpower to gradually build Cunshan into an impregnable place, but in the end, he failed to achieve any results and was actually deceived by the enemy's serial fraud. I really don't know whether to call Shen Youli cunning or the defenders are too stupid. .
emmm——
It must have been the stubbornness of the defenders who ruined the situation!
Zheng Qiao looked at the chaos below - mainly a group of military generals quarreling, a group of civil servants acting as mutes, and the occasional words of nonsense literature - he took a deep breath and made a final decision: "Just send troops to contain Shen Youli, no need. reason."
Attacking Cunshan City requires 30,000 to 50,000 troops, but defense does not require it. Just use the minimum number of troops to block Shen Tang in Cunshan.
He carefully looked at the group of generals under his tent.
Over the years, Zheng Qiao had personally fed their appetites and cultivated their temperaments. For a while, he could not find a general as stable as Wei Shou. He sighed in his heart, but he had no choice but to choose a taller one among the short ones. Yes, I clicked on one of them.
The selected generals proudly stepped out to receive their orders.
He waved his hand, indicating that the court should be dismissed.
The courtiers retreated in twos and threes, and the last one to leave was the civil servant who poured cold water on him. Zheng Qiao raised her eyes and her eyes collided with his.
Before the man could go far, he was stopped by the chamberlain.
"The servants are staying here, the king has invited you."
Under the pitiful eyes of all the courtiers, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow the chamberlain to see Zheng Qiao. When he arrived, Zheng Qiao was sitting by the garden lake fishing. As soon as he arrived, he heard Zheng Qiao: "The fish in the lake are being fished." People are raised carefully, fed with fish bait every day, and are not afraid of strangers... Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"
The waiter replied: "I am not a fish in the lake, so naturally I don't know what the fish is thinking. When asked by the king, it is difficult to judge whether it is good or bad."
Only fish knows this answer.
The judgments of outsiders are all based on oneself.
The waiter said: "If the fish in the lake can speak human words, or is simply a living person, the king will know it as soon as he asks."
Who doesn’t want to have enough food and clothing?
Zheng Qiao pointed to the empty seat next to him: "Sit."
For the first time, I invite each other to go fishing together.
Waiter: "..."
When he was approached by the chamberlain, his heart skipped a beat, and he was worried that he would not live until tomorrow. He didn't know why Zheng Qiao was so crazy today, and suddenly asked him to talk to him in private, but based on his understanding of Zheng Qiao, he definitely didn't hold it in his stomach. good.
But he soon calmed down.
Zheng Qiao is determined to do something to himself, and he will die no matter what.
He wasn't very good at fishing, and he didn't have the elegance to do so. He just wanted to show off. But as soon as his butt touched the mat, he heard Zheng Qiao next to him ask: "Do you remember that you used to sit in front of me?"
The waiter said: "Yes."
Zheng Qiao said: "I still remember that you don't like Gu."
It would be more polite to say that I don't like it very much.
The waiter was young and frivolous, and once took the lead in isolating Zheng Qiao because of Zheng Qiao's identity and because he disliked Zheng Qiao.
Facts have proved that he has a good eye.
The waiter thought he was going to die, but he couldn't bear to flirt with Zheng Qiao to survive, so he just went with his heart and said it bluntly: "The king was the hostage of the Geng Kingdom at that time. There is no benefit in getting closer. It’s also easy to damage your reputation…”
Yan'an, who is not afraid of losing his reputation, is really an injustice.
Zheng Qiao sighed: "Yes, my mentor and senior brother are the only ones who don't dislike me anymore. Hey, how is senior brother these days?"
When the waiter heard the last sentence, goosebumps spread all over his body, the hairs on his back stood up, and he looked at Zheng Qiao blankly.
Zheng Qiao also looked back at him calmly.
Vaguely, the waiter vaguely saw the shadow of Zheng Qiao when he was young in the other person's eyes, but this feeling passed away in a flash, followed by greater disgust and crisis. He turned his head and avoided Zheng Qiao's sight: " ...Xingning, I guess it’s okay.”
Calculating the time, Yanan should be able to trot steadily by now. He has good qualifications and may be able to speak very fluently.
Zheng Qiao looked at the lake with occasional ripples.
"Senior brother has a daughter, do you know?"
A chill ran through the waiter's center, and alarm bells rang in his head. He didn't know why Zheng Qiao suddenly mentioned Yan'an's daughter. Could it be that he wanted to settle a score with himself? When Yan'an's wife and daughter fled, he also secretly helped. , it’s just that my hands and feet were clean and I didn’t get settled.
Could it be that you want to use this to make hair?
The waiter calmly said: "I know."
Zheng Qiao sighed: "I have never met the daughter of Senior Brother Yan and Senior Sister Ning, and I don't know which one she is more like as their couple. I heard people say that the daughter is more like her biological father. With Senior Brother Yan's talent and appearance, my niece will be the same when she grows up. A beautiful lady of a generation."
The waiter moved his lips and felt uncomfortable holding them back.
"It's a pity that with the current situation in Qianzhou, Gu probably won't be able to see it..." Zheng Qiao sighed and shook his head, thinking in his mouth.
The waiter suddenly wanted to throw the fishing rod at Zheng Qiao's face.
Is it fun to fool dead people?
It was quiet for a long time after that, so quiet that even the waiter, who was not good at fishing, caught a fish. Those who knew how to fish found it interesting, but those who couldn't fish just found it hypnotic. The waiter felt vaguely sleepy, and was told by Zheng Qiao again. Wake up with a fright.
"Do you still remember the word "lone"?"
Waiter: "..."
The dog is still a garbage dog like Zheng Qiao.
If you want his life, just say so. Why do you ask this question?
Without him, Zheng Qiao's handwriting is his Achilles' heel.
Back then, a classmate deliberately shouted out those two words to make Zheng Qiao disgusted. As a result, the young man turned red with anger. He rushed over and punched Zheng Qiao regardless of Yan'an's obstruction. In the chaos, I don't know who took the opportunity to take advantage of the situation, and finally it turned out that It became a gang fight.
The waiter was also forced to take part in the group fight.
After hearing the news, the banquet master was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. Finally, he punished all students to copy their books, review them three thousand times, and hand them in within a time limit.
A group of students copied it day and night, creating a psychological shadow.
The waiter was so angry that he stabbed Zheng Qiao's scarecrow.
He said: "The emperor and his ministers are different, so they dare not address each other directly."
"Nvjiao is just nvjiao. Does this word burn your lips?"
Waiter: "..."
Is Zheng Qiao more crazy or sober?
"My former classmates have gone their separate ways, and now you are the only old friend left." Zheng Qiao looked melancholy, leaving the waiter speechless. Did Zheng Qiao, a lunatic, really want to reminisce with him? This magical reality almost destroyed his brain. Can't turn around.
Zheng Qiao: "It's a pity that the words chosen by my mentor are not used."
The alarm bell in the waiter's head went off.
Basically what Zheng Qiao said, he agreed with it, and from time to time added a couple of puzzled remarks like "Brother Yan, why didn't you come to see me?". On the surface, the waiter was taciturn and cold, but in his heart, he had already abandoned the way of a gentleman, and he would say whatever was unpleasant to him. What to scold.
If you really want to have a good time, you have to say that it is bad luck.
The two of them "reminisced about old times" lasted for a full hour.
finally--
Zheng Qiao said to him: "You can leave tonight."
The waiter trembled all over and met the other person's eyes.
Zheng Qiao said indifferently: "Before I regret it, you take your wife, children, and children and leave the border of Qianzhou. If you go too slowly, I will acquiesce that you plan to bury me with me. You only have one chance, and you can't seize it. Don’t blame me either.”
The waiter held back a sentence for a long time.
"Zheng Qiao, are you awake or crazy?"
Zheng Qiao laughed heartily and scared away the fish that came around. His calm expression looked frightening in the shadow of dusk: "Is it important whether you are awake or crazy? In Gu's opinion, you people who claim to be awake have done nothing better than The madman is awake..."
The waiter was not sure for a moment whether Zheng Qiao really wanted to let him go or if it was just another one of his teasing ways. He was afraid.
When the waiter led him out, the night wind blew, and the waiter shivered from the cold. His mind was in chaos, and his body seemed to have its own consciousness controlling him to stride forward. It wasn't until he had walked a hundred and eighty steps that he finally He stopped and looked back at the way he came.
The tall, luxurious and majestic building during the day now looks a bit desolate, gloomy, decadent and ghostly, as if it has a wide open mouth of evil spirits, greedily devouring the living people who step into it.
He hurried home. At home, his wife and children looked anxiously at the door. When they saw the waiter returning alive, they cried with joy.
The waiter first had a few warm words with his family, looking at the familiar and fresh faces, Zheng Qiao's words kept echoing in his mind, and he didn't even hear his wife's words. She wiped away her tears of ecstasy and said: "
I heard that Mr. Lang was left behind by the king, and I was filled with fear in my body and mind, for fear that you would also... Now that he is back, I am really happy, and the kitchen has cooked moxa leaf water..."
Take a bath to drive away bad luck.
At this time, she saw the sword in the waiter's hand.
"This sword... doesn't seem to belong to Master Lang?"
When the waiter heard this, he felt like he was waking up from a dream. He looked down at the broken sword in his hand. His brain, which had been dull for the rest of his life, slowly resumed functioning, and he said in a daze: "This sword belongs to Zheng Qiao."
The wife screamed, took two steps back in fright, and looked at the sword with eyes full of disgust: "This dirty thing..."
Worried about surveillance, I swallowed back the rest of my words.
The waiter looked at the scabbard in his hand, whether it was lost or not, he put it aside helplessly: "Madam, please quickly order people to pack their bags. We will leave here tomorrow..."
The wife said with a grimace: "How can we get away?"
It’s not that I don’t have any colleagues who want to run away, but I can’t run away.
Once caught, kill on the spot!
The waiter said: "Don't worry, I can leave."
The wife looked at her husband, doubtful, but she had a doubt: "Master, if we leave, where should we go?"
The waiter lowered his eyes and thought for a moment: "Longwu County."
The wife wondered: "Where is that?"
The waiter said: "Border."
The wife was reluctant: "How bitter and cold is that place? There are also alien invasions. Wouldn't it be nice for our family to go there..."
The waiter pointed to the broken sword and said, "If Zheng Qiao is willing to let him go, we will deliver this sword to him."
The wife was puzzled: "Whose hands?"
The waiter twitched his lips: "Ning Yan."
The wife's round eyes widened: "Tunan? But, wasn't Tunan's husband Yan Xingning sent over by Zheng Qiao... Zheng Qiao's broken sword, and Tunan wasn't angry enough to kill us?"
Ning Yan did not have a mother-in-law, and her family was far away. From the time she was pregnant to the tenth month of pregnancy, the inexperienced couple almost went blind. Because her husbands were friends, she was entrusted to help Ning Yan.
Parenting exchanges bring closer relationships.
She knew Ning Yan's stubborn temper very well.
The waiter said: "My husband also thinks the same way."
Zheng Qiao, this lunatic, is simply making things difficult for himself.
The wife made a suggestion: "How about throwing this thing away?"
She felt sick just looking at it.
The waiter still had some sense and didn't do this.
The temporary residence was brightly lit all night, and large items could not be moved away at all. They only packed some gold and silver soft goods and dry food and water bags. The ignorant child nestled in the nurse's arms, looking at the adults busy with a confused face. He could not notice the air.
of tension.
Just in the middle of cleaning up, the housekeeper hurried over.
"Master Lang, Master, someone is coming from the palace!"
When the waiter heard this, his head was buzzing and he was about to explode. He grabbed his sword and said bitterly: "Damn Zheng Qiao, you are really playing a trick on me! At worst, it will kill you!"
When he first looked at the person, he saw that he was a short servant with an unusually large belly. The servant secretly grasped the scabbard of his sword, brewing murderous intent.
The waiter was unconscious and tried his best to lower his voice.
"Do you want to leave, Your Majesty?"
The waiter snorted, thinking that the other party looked down on his status as a eunuch and disdained to be with him. He raised his hand to untie his waist belt, which made the waiter shout in surprise.
"What are you doing?"
The chamberlain said: "Let me show you something."
(*/ω＼*)
When Shiigugu begins to describe the villain in detail, it means that the villain is about to receive his lunch. Zheng Qiao is a madman, and being a madman, of course he must have a unique way of getting offline.
Zheng Qiao probably never dreamed that Ning Yan would come over with a sword in hand.
