Chapter 22: The three gods will gather at Shili Pavilion
A black armored team of 2,500 people walked on the official road to Feng'an City. The entire team was as silent as a dark cloud. This team all rode black giant Lidian Niu, including Wu Jue. Three hundred people from the special team guarded Yue Qianming. They walked on the wide official road of their country. They knew that they would not encounter any danger, but there were still storms and thunder and lightning in the dark clouds, and they were always alert to abnormal situations around them. .
Yue Qianming walked at the front of the team. Looking at the gradually familiar scenery around him, he felt that things are different and people are different. It was early autumn when he left, and it was already the first month when he came back. He didn't even catch up with the New Year, but luckily he could make it. It's the Lantern Festival, and I can accompany Xiang Ning and Xue'er to go to the lantern festival. I just don't know what Zhao Lingyun has planned for taking the Electric Bull Legion back to Kyoto.
As he walked, he saw that he had arrived at a land only about ten miles away from Beijing, and it was so close to home. Yue Qianming was about to use all his strength to drive the Lidian cattle back to Feng'an City, but he was stopped at a place called Shiliting. The eunuch wearing a big red robe has a white face and no beard, and the sideburns exposed by the palace hat show that this eunuch is very old, and the hair on the sideburns is already white.
This man stopped Yue Qianming's group on the order of King Zhao Lingyun. Yue Qianming quickly got off his mount, bowed and waited for the eunuch in red robe to finish Zhao Lingyun's instructions, then stood up and asked: "Eunuch Wei, what's the matter? It will be you who comes to announce the decree. You haven't left the palace for many years." The old eunuch and Yue Qianming also know each other. This man has been in the palace for many years. He was already the palm eunuch during the reign of the previous monarch. After Zhao Lingyun succeeded to the throne, She still trusted him, but rarely left the palace. Although Yue Qian had little interaction with this eunuch when he was young, he was acquainted with him and respected this old eunuch who had always been loyal to the royal family.
I heard the old eunuch who was called Eunuch Wei say in a louder voice than an ordinary man's: "Our family is very happy to see the generals returning in triumph to show off the prestige of our Zhao Xin family, so we came out of the palace to have a look. I, the great man of the Zhao Xin clan, congratulate God Qian Ming for his extraordinary achievements again."
Yue Qianming humbly said: "I don't dare, it all depends on the monarch's strategic plan for a decisive victory thousands of miles away."
The Eunuch Wei smiled slightly and then said: "We will go back to the palace to report to the king first. General Qianming will rest in the Shiliting Post Station first. On the Lantern Festival three days later, the general will dress up more powerfully. Let the people in the city take a good look at what General Qian Ming looked like, who traveled thousands of miles to intercept and kill the Zuo King of the Xia Geng clan. Let those in the court who admire others' ambitions and destroy their own prestige be more energetic. Don't always talk about peace and make peace every day. What kind of words are hurtful to Tianhe?"
Yue Qianming bowed and sent Eunuch Wei away who muttered a lot. He already understood that Zhao Lingyun was going to use a grand triumphal welcome ceremony this time to pave the way for the battle to unify Jiunaozhou ten years later.
The name of this Shili Pavilion is Pavilion, but it is the last inn outside Fengan City and the most luxurious inn in Zhao Xin's country. Therefore, there was a farewell pavilion here a long time ago, and it was gradually called Shili Pavilion. The place name is also This was done. When Yue Qianming led all his guards to the Shiliting Post Station, he saw two people standing at the door of the post station from a distance. It was Qin Kongyu and a middle-aged man about fifty years old. This man's face was a standard Chinese character face. , at first glance, he appears rough, his eyes are bright and restrained, like an ordinary person, his beard is black and long, but it gives people a sense of neatness and does not look dirty at all. Just the opposite of what Qin Kongyu wears, wearing a black and blue robe. , wearing a black and blue archery uniform underneath, with a simple black leather belt tied around his waist.
The man saw Yue Qianming leading the soldiers and came forward, and he and Qin Kongyu came forward to greet them. Yue Qianming got off his mount when he was still about fifty meters away from the two, handed the mount to the guard next to him, and faced Qin Kongyu and the two. Walking away, Qin Kongyu saw that Yue Qianming was already smiling. He took two steps forward, hugged Yue Qianming, and slapped him hard twice. After Yue Qianming also hugged Qin Kongyu, he took two steps forward and asked respectfully: "General Qiyuan, are you back too?"
That man was Chen Qiyuan, the Zhendong Divine General of the Zhao Xin Clan. The man stepped forward and patted Yue Qianming on the shoulder and praised: "Well done, it's time to take care of the Xia Geng Clan. The Chiyan Clan a hundred years ago The wolf cavalry has been raging in my northern territory, and many of my comrades have been killed by the wolf. After being crippled by the former monarch, they have come back again. But now they have been asked to come back together. I just wish I could explain you to Qian Let’s fight together to enter the Xia Geng clan’s country.”
Yue Qianming's face also looked a little sad and angry. He had heard an old soldier from the northern border say that fifty years ago, the previous monarch used the power of the whole country to finally set up an ambush and cripple the Red Flame Wolf Cavalry so that he could no longer wreak havoc in the northern border of Zhao Xin's country. It was just that battle. It was very tragic. The 150,000 elite troops surrounded and annihilated 50,000 Red Flame Wolf Cavalry. When they finally returned, only more than 70,000 people were left. When the corpses were collected, only more than 30,000 were recovered. The remaining soldiers' bodies were all buried in the wolf's belly. Ten years ago, after Li Deming reorganized the Red Flame Wolf Cavalry, Yue Qianming also began to form an electric ox army specifically to restrain the Red Flame Wolf Cavalry, finally making it afraid to harass and wreak havoc in the northern border.
After Yue Qianming regained consciousness, he smiled modestly and then asked: "General Qiyuan, when did you come back?"
Chen Qiyuan looked at Yue Qianming helplessly and said: "I've told you several times, just call me big brother. You are always a god general, and the god general sounds boring to you. In this regard, you are not as cool as that kid Kong Yu."
Yue Qianming looked at Chen Qiyuan who was pretending to be angry, so he had to change his name and call him: "Brother Qiyuan."
Chen Qiyuan responded cheerfully and said: "Let's go! Go into the house and say, I have asked people to prepare wine and food for you. Let's chat while drinking." The staff of the inn had already brought the Lidian Niu that Yue Qianming had brought back. The Corps was taken down to rest.
Qin Kongyu also walked into the inn side by side with the two of them. He saw that the decoration in the inn was elegant and simple, but the materials used were all of the highest quality. It was occasionally used to receive foreign envoys, and the various furnishings were carefully arranged. After some effort, Chen Qiyuan looked at Qin Kongyu, who was walking side by side to Yue Qianming's left, and said, "Kongyu, if you dare to mention anything like shit at the wine table today, I'm going to beat you up."
Yue Qianming, who looked puzzled, could only explain: "Qianming, you don't know, this guy hasn't given anyone a good meal in the past few days. When he drinks, he always talks about how he defeated Jin Chengxiong with his excrement and urine. He also said it in a convincing way. We knew that he was the Zhennan Divine General of our country, but we thought he was a servant who collected manure from some family. Besides, Jin Chengxiong was hacked to death, and it was not because he was sickened to death by his feces and urine. What’s there to show off?”
Qin Kongyu hurriedly interjected: "You didn't know that Jin Chengxiong was so intoxicated by my shit and urine that he made a series of unconscious moves, so I seized the opportunity and annihilated him in one fell swoop..." Yue Qian, who was about to set up a good battle, played a game clearly. When he came, Chen Qiyuan pushed him away and said: "You let Qian Ming finish the meal well, and you two can chat in private. Now we have a drink and a meal, and listen to Qian Ming talk about his ten thousand miles attack on Li Deming." matter."
Yue Qianming looked at the cold and arrogant Qin Kongyu who had become like this now, and couldn't help but recall that on the day before leaving, Qin Kongyu said that he would go to Fatty Yuchi to learn how to become thick-skinned, and he became shameless so quickly. Yue Qianming thought about the past, all the bad tricks were done. It was done by himself, but all the disgusting moves were done by that damn fat man, and every time, that damn fat man himself was the main force, and they just assisted from the side, thinking that Qin Kongyu would become like that in the future, Yue Qianming I couldn't help but feel a chill, and when the proud Kongyu God General also started to behave, roll around, and act rogue, I don't know how many people's eyes would be shocked.
But Qin Kongyu felt that there was nothing wrong with it. It was much more enjoyable to act like Leng Ao now than before. The damn fat man was right, he should treat his enemies as disgusting as possible. But Qin Kongyu was in this disgusting way. The road goes further and further until someone talks about the cold and arrogant Kong Yu God General from before. People really can't put the current Kong Yu God General who is like a street gangster with the cold and arrogant Kong Yu God General.
The three of them had sat down at the table filled with food and wine. Chen Qiyuan asked Yue Qianming again about the story of the battle to intercept and kill Li Deming. Yue Qianming gave a rough summary of the story, except that the Anxuan Army secretly trained by Zhao Lingyun was hidden. I don't trust Chen Qiyuan, but this is a secret matter. Zhao Lingyun should tell Chen Qiyuan personally, and I can't say anything more. I think Qin Kongyu has never told Chen Qiyuan about the existence of the amazingly powerful army named Anxuan Army. Then
The Anxuan Army has not been registered in the military department. It seems to be a trump card in Zhao Lingyun's hand. It will not really appear in front of the world until the battle to unify Jiunaozhou in the future. The Anxuan Army is dispatched this time to test the Anxuan Army. Secondly, because of the extremely critical situation this time, the Anxuan Army was mobilized to support the northern and southern borders.
In this battle between the North and the South, the commanders of both countries who had seen this army have been killed, and there are only a few defeated soldiers left. I can't think of any other unnecessary information about this army. That army should do more during the battle. After removing the camouflage and the unique markings of their own troops, spies from the two countries would not gain much if they tried to find out other information about this elusive force.
Yue Qianming told Chen Qiyuan and Qin Kongyu about the war he had experienced here, and then asked them about the war in the east and south. Qin Kongyu was about to show off his achievements, but Chen Qiyuan stuffed a chicken leg into his mouth. , said: "Qian Ming, let's talk about mine! You can have a good talk with this kid when you're done."
Chen Qiyuan looked at Yue Qianming and said: "This time the barbarians in the east seem to be even more crazy than before. They seem to be completely consuming their already sparse population. It's really tragic." After saying this, he took a sip of wine and looked at Yue Qianming with a puzzled look. Hold him.
The barbarians were originally crazy. Thousands of years ago, in order to gain more living space, the Zhao Xin clan first surrendered to the Jin and Xia countries, only to concentrate on fighting the barbarians in the east, and finally drove the barbarians to the wasteland near the ice sea. In the area, the first king of the Zhao Xin Kingdom withdrew his troops because the front was too long. Although the wilderness could still live, the Zhao Xin Kingdom had a feud with the barbarians. Although it had lasted for thousands of years, generations of barbarian kings wanted to take back the original land. The territory belongs to them, and every time they save up their strength, they have to attack Shanhai City, an important border city in the east. Yue Qianming thought that this time should be the same as before, so how could it be so tragic.
Looking at the confused Yue Qianming, he drank the remaining wine in one gulp and said: "This time, the Eastern Barbarians first sent old and weak tribesmen to consume the Eastern Border troops and hold back the main force of my Eastern Border troops, but the old and weak people seemed to kill them. They couldn't kill them all, even old women who had never appeared on the battlefield before picked up their swords and rushed to our army regardless of their own safety.
And the barbarian king sent Qingzhuang tribesmen to break through other lines of defense of our army and invade the depths of our eastern border area. They did not attack the city or take territory, but just robbed supplies at any cost. In the end, fortunately, they were discovered in time and dispersed the Qingzhuang Eastern barbarians into groups. The people were expelled from our eastern territory, but a lot of cattle, sheep and grain were plundered.
The soldiers of the Eastern Territory and the people of the Eastern Barbarians suffered a lot of casualties. Although the wasteland suffered a white disaster this time, the losses were no different from the past, but I had never seen them so crazy. Later, in order to find out the reason, I I stayed in the east for a few more days.
I didn't receive the news until the day before I came back, but I don't know whether it is true or not. Recently, there is a rumor circulating among the barbarians. It is a prophecy left by the barbarian high priest when he was dying: "The sky will be broken, and an unprecedented blizzard of ice will fall from the heaven." In the Fengdi Hao Continent, all living things will fall into eternal silence.' So the Eastern Barbarians only plundered materials for reserves this time. A spy sent the most secret information, saying that the Barbarian King was building an underground city. I don't know. Whether it’s true or not, is it worth building such a massive project just for an illusory prophecy?”
After hearing this, Yue Qianming said: "The high priest has a high status among the barbarians, even above the barbarian king. If he says it, he will definitely be regarded as a decree from heaven, not to mention it is a big issue related to the continuation of the race. I think the barbarian king is... The information about building an underground city should be true. But since the news of the destruction of the Apocalypse Temple has not yet spread, I think the prediction of the high priest cannot come true. He can be more powerful than the Apocalypse Elder of the Apocalypse Temple. "
The human race in Jiuzhou all have a kind of blind worship and trust in Tianqi Temple. People like Lian Yue Qianming are no exception, not to mention the other ordinary people. The barbarians, the oldest race that exists on the Dihao Continent, have Falling into a corner of peace, with no influence at all, who would believe the prophecy of a barbarian high priest, Yue Qianming and the others continued to drink and eat, chatting about their experiences in this battle.
