Me, Yuan Fang?

Chapter 74

"In that year, Daqin hadn't stopped fighting. I was just a little boy walking around behind my father. Xiao Heng was the third-ranking flower in the imperial examination. Oh, you may not know that third-ranking flower is the third, only the second. Yu was the champion and second place winner. He was very handsome, and he was unrestrained to the naked eye. At that time, I thought, with such a skin, it would be reasonable to be able to charm Princess Xiping."

Zuo Zhou waved his whip casually, but the tip of the whip didn't hit and just swept over the horse's back, but it also frightened the horse to speed up.

"Daqin pays attention to the balance of civil and military, so the military record in the army is almost as strict as the imperial examination invigilator. Originally, Xiao Heng could get a good position in the court with the fame of the third flower, and he would be able to stand in the court in a few years. But because of the consort. As an official, he is destined to have no major development in the civil service, and even if he is an official, he will not have any real power. So he joined the army as a soldier."

"Oh? I understand that I can't be an official, so why can I be a soldier?" Xiaomei didn't understand.

"Being a concubine is a member of the royal family, so strictly speaking, he has the right to inherit the throne. Therefore, other countries basically do not allow consorts to hold official positions of real power, just because they are afraid that there will be ambitions to threaten the royal rule. However, Emperor Qin is more confident and will not Fear kills a person's ambitions, he didn't completely nail this rule, if you really have the ability, don't be these lip-smacking civilians, go to join the army, rely on military merit to walk in front of me step by step, prove You are a useful person to the country!"

"Is that so, so Consort Xiao went to Jiannan Road?" Xiaomei's eyes flashed with admiration.

"Yes, but it's not that simple. Consort Xiao is an ambitious person. He didn't tell anyone after he joined the army, but with Emperor Qin's love for Princess Xiping, how could he help Consort Xiao to hide it, so Princess Xiping knew it. ."

Zuo Zhou paused when he said this, and said happily: "It can be seen that Princess Xiping really loves this concubine Xiao, so she secretly wrote a letter to Jiedushi of Jiannan Dao, and the words in the letter earnestly hope that concubine Xiao can be arranged in Not a very dangerous place. Well, what would you do if you were?"

Xiaomei was taken aback, why did you ask me?After thinking for a moment, "That must be done. That is the eldest princess who is the most doted on by the Qin emperor. As long as she is happy, won't she be able to make a fortune in the future? Well, this idiom is not wrong. It's just military exploits, and it won't affect anything, I can't say that Qin Huang will praise Chen Ying for being sensible!"

Zuo Zhou nodded, but he took a long breath and said with a smile: "Look, we can still get along well, if it were me, I would do the same. But... Chen Ying didn't!"

"That day, all the soldiers in his general gathered for a military parade. After the drill was over, he directly took out the letter from Princess Xiping. In front of all the soldiers, he said, 'There is a woman with great powers in the court who asked me to His husband is in a safe place, and he wants to take advantage of my army! My army is to face the Tang State Shence Army, the Ming State Navy and even the Qing State Iron Cavalry. Our military merit is to use Bloodshed and sacrifices are exchanged for, not everyone is eligible! She asked me to transfer him to a safe place for military exploits? I have to transfer him to the vanguard to charge!'"

Xiaomei looked at Zuo Zhou's dancing and eloquent performance, her head was like a paste, "This... It's really a miracle that this Chen Ying is still alive, oh yes, he is already dead."

Zuo Zhou shook his head and said with a smile: "Indeed, this temper can really be regarded as God's forcible extension of life. I used to hear that Jiannan Dao Jiedu was very unpopular, and he was almost like a solitary minister in the court. I don't quite understand it yet, but I understand it after seeing him act a little bit."

Xiaomei blinked her eyes and asked anxiously, "What about after that? If you say this in front of all the soldiers, isn't this the same as a public execution? Even if the name is not named, this Concubine Xiao's face is probably lost!"

Zuo Zhou paused and sighed: "Ordinary people often experience similarities, while extraordinary people have their own extraordinary things!"

"Chen Ying didn't name his surname. In fact, he saved face for Concubine Xiao, and it was equivalent to expressly rejecting Princess Xiping's request. At the same time, it also boosted morale. After this incident, Concubine Xiao can leave Jiannan Road and go elsewhere. The troops went to claim military merit. But... he actually stood up after Chen Ying finished speaking!"

This time Xiaomei was really stunned, "This... what is this operation? Isn't this the same as telling everyone that he is the one who went through the back door!"

Zuo Zhou nodded and continued: "Every time I look back, everything that happened that day is vivid in my mind. It was the first time I was shocked by the literati's character and the stubborn pride of the Qin soldiers. No one has ever been able to combine the two temperaments. The fusion is so wonderful!"

"He pointed at Chen Ying's nose and said with disgust on his face, 'You are an idiot. If you are allowed to lead the army, it is very likely that hundreds of thousands of Qin troops will be trapped!'"

"Is this out of anger and scolding?" Xiaomei tilted her head and looked like Zuo Zhou, who used to eat melons in the entertainment industry in her past life.

Zuo Zhou recalled the scene when Concubine Xiao stood up to the line, and continued: "No, he also said that there is reason and evidence. You can refuse verbally, but you shouldn't say it in front of all the soldiers. Although this boosts morale, it also gives everyone a handle, because your actions can be equated with revenge and dereliction of duty. Anyone who writes a letter of impeachment can pull you off the stage!'"

"At that time, the whole school ground was silent, and everyone's minds were thinking about Xiao Consort's words. It must be admitted that this is true. As long as someone dares to sue, Chen Ying will definitely be thrown into prison! The absolute point is that you can also press the last charge of murdering the royal family.

"And after that?" Xiaomei asked anxiously.

"Afterwards, Consort Xiao faced all the generals and soldiers again. He said, 'I am a civil servant. I have studied and studied all my life. Except for reading the military book, I have not practiced martial arts for even a day. The enemies we are about to face are Tang Guo and Ming Dynasty. The elite of the country, this battle is destined to be tragic. I know that you have the determination to sacrifice bravely, but who is not thinking that you may survive? But I am not, because I know that in the case of equal battles, you are Nine deaths and one life, I who have never practiced martial arts are ten deaths and no life!'"

Xiaomei thought for a while, "That's right, a scholar can't even lift a splash on the battlefield!"

Zuo Zhou nodded and said: "He then said, 'The role of the vanguard in the battle between the two armies is very important, and it is responsible for defeating the opponent's impact, destroying the enemy's defense, and destroying the opponent's fighting spirit. You put me who has no combat experience at all. There, I am joking with the life of the whole army! I only need to show my identity as consort, and according to royal rules, half of the vanguard army will become my temporary guards. By then, the crime of exhausting the whole army will be settled. on your head.'"

"This...this move is too cruel! If those soldiers disobeyed their orders, they would be convicted and implicated their families, and their morale would be demolished. If they did not disobey, it would mean the vanguard army was doomed to fail. The scholar is really dark..."

Zuo Zhou said with emotion: "Yeah, this trick is very shady. At that time, Chen Ying was stupid. Standing on the stage, he almost drew his sword and chopped up Xiao's concubine."

"And after that?"

"After that, after that, Chen Ying directly dispatched 100 elite soldiers to form temporary bodyguards for Concubine Xiao, and then let him go. But I didn't expect that it was these [-] people who lurk into the cities of Tang Dynasty under the leadership of Concubine Xiao. , It is falsely rumored that Fenghuo mobilized the Shence army to attack everywhere. After the battle, what Chen Ying faced was a tired army. In that battle, the Qin army won a big victory, and the Tang State lost fifteen cities in a row, until the troops stationed on the Turkic border Only by calling in can we stop the Qin army's offensive!"

"This is not over yet. When he was fighting against the navy of the Ming Kingdom, because the Qin army in Jiannan Road was not good at water warfare, he sneaked into the interior of the Ming Kingdom and used bribes and other methods to deceive the officials of the Ming Kingdom, so that the logistics supply of the Ming Kingdom navy was cut off. In the end, I had to retreat, which also allowed my Jiannan Dao army to add a naval training camp. After the war ended, this naval training base was directly connected to the Grand Canal, and there was no problem with logistics and supplies from then on.
