Humane Yongchang

Chapter 556: Triumphant Wild Dog

Lu Chen beheaded King Ashoka, and the army of more than [-] peacocks was completely reduced to a mess.

Chen Sheng returned to the barracks with peace of mind, and waited for Lu Chen to lead his troops back triumphantly.

But he never thought that Lu Chen commanded 40 tiger and ben soldiers, chasing [-] peacocks all over the mountains and plains, marching all the way to Huashi City, the capital of the Mauryan Dynasty.

The two divisions were chased and split into ten regiments.

Ten regiments were chased and split into fifty battalions...

5 people pulled out a long front of 50 people, abruptly turning the self-defense counterattack into a war of annihilation of the country!

They realized what Chen Sheng boasted before they set off in Haikou: without luggage, food, and prisoners, they slaughtered the city all the way, and they ate wherever they went...

Under the sufficient supply of shells, even the mountain spirits, monsters and ghosts on the way of conquest failed to escape the claws of the soldiers of the Huben army. As for the temples and monasteries throughout the Maurya Dynasty, they were all turned into ruins.

Although Chen Sheng didn't mention those things in the past.

But Lu Chen and the others never forgot it for a moment!

"Whoever offends my big man will be punished even if he is far away!" '

For others, it may be just a slogan that cheers up but doesn't matter.

But for them, it is the belief they have fought for and insisted on for many years!

Their brave and ferocious figures are deeply imprinted in the soul of this vast land, and will never be erased.

Thousands of years later, when the ancient creatures on this land hear Chinese, they will still involuntarily recall the fear of being dominated by the Xuanjia Xuanqi...

Lu Chen commanded the army to break into Huashi City all the way.

Ashoka's son, Junara, knelt outside the city gate to meet Lu Chen and begged for a living.

Lu Chen beheaded Junaro, led the army into the city, and sealed all the gates.

Ten days later, the Huben army triumphantly returned.

The black dragon enveloped Fahrenheit City and persisted for ten days.

The Maurya Dynasty collapsed, and the Ganges River Basin once again fell into a long dark period.

Lu Chen led the army in triumph.

Chen Sheng personally greeted them at the gate of the camp, lifted the ban on alcohol, and rewarded the three armies!
Three days later, the army set off to return to Kyushu.

Just in time, the first snow in Jinling had already quietly fallen.

……

Changning Palace.

There is a fire in the side hall, which is as warm as spring.

Chen Shou, who was reviewing the memorials in the hall, was still wrapped in a bloated bearskin cloak.

In just half a year, the wrinkles on his face seemed to have aged ten years, and his once burly figure had become thin and stooped. Even his short hair had changed from black hair mixed with a little white hair to white hair. Mixed with a little black hair.

"Snapped!"

He smashed the memorial on the case table heavily, and said angrily: "For food, for food, the Xuanwu Military Region needs food, the Zhuque Military Region also needs food, the Yongzhou drought relief needs food, and Jingzhou flood disaster relief also needs food. With so many mouths, where can we get so much food?"

His Highness, Fan Zeng, Xiao He, and Chen Ping, all looked at each other and saw the wry smile on each other's faces... They were all human characters, how could they not understand that the Supreme Emperor was pointing at the lame man and scolding the bald man?

Only Meng Tian's head was firm, he stuck his neck forward without giving an inch, raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, what you said is a bit ignorant of conscience. When the Xuanwu Military Region snatched cattle and sheep from outside the pass, you were not So..."

Fan Zeng raised his head to study the tile eaves.

Xiao He lowered his head to study the floor.

Chen Ping studied Liang Zhu with his hands behind his back.

Meng Yi slapped his forehead heavily.

Old Chen Shou blushed, and immediately clapped the table again, shaking his voice: "Okay, Meng Tian, ​​we know that your military department has been eyeing the cattle and sheep in our hands for a long time. Is that edible? We will eat it this year." Now, will the whole country chew grass roots and tree bark together next year?"

Meng Tian raised his brows in confusion, and said hesitantly, "Well, there were no such herds of cattle and sheep in previous years, no..."

"Your Majesty!"

Meng Yi really couldn't stand it any longer, so he came out of the line and clasped his palms together and said: "I think that for the present, the only way to calm down the flames of war between the two borders is to reduce food consumption, and to give the soldiers on the expedition a respite. Machine, after next year's autumn harvest, start again..."

He hadn't finished speaking yet, but Meng Tian was furious when he heard this, grabbed his younger brother's wrist, spit and stared and said angrily: "Hey, sycophant! How dare you come in and frame up Your Majesty? Thousands of loyal and brave men defended against the enemy's country, spilled their blood on other countries and lands, and returned their souls to the Hall of Martyrs. How can you dare to say such wolf-hearted words when you are a courageous man who does not walk on the battlefield? You are not afraid of more than [-] loyal and heroic souls in the two borders Go into your dreams every night, eat your flesh raw, eat your bones?"

Meng Yi:? ? ?
Fan Zeng, Xiao He, Chen Ping:? ? ?

Chen Shou in the hall slapped his forehead heavily, and couldn't bear to look directly at it.

"Meng Shangshu, please calm down!"

Meng Yi tried his best to break free from his brother's big hand: "Speak up if you have something to say!"

Hearing this, Meng Tian became more and more annoyed. He raised his sandbag-sized fist and punched Meng Yi hard in the eye socket: "I'll hit you, a sycophant who harms the country and the people..."

With one punch, Meng Yi was turned into panda eyes.

It's hard to say that there is no personal grudge in it.

Seeing this, the two old and the young and the three hooligans at the side not only did not stop them, but also took a step back caringly, allowing enough space for the two brothers to set up a battlefield.

In the end, Chen Shou couldn't stand it anymore, and coughed pretendingly.

The sound was not loud, but it shocked Meng Tian, ​​he quickly let go of his younger brother's wrist, clasped his palms and bowed to the hall and said: "The old minister is disrespectful in front of the hall, please punish him!"

Chen Shou glanced at Meng Yi, who had a bruised nose and a swollen face, grinning his teeth, and said helplessly: "I think you are a border guard who is worried and angry for a while, so I forgive you for not guilty this time, but I will not be an example!"

Meng Tian raised his hand to thank him.

Chen Shou breathed a sigh of relief, and slowed down his tone: "Let's just say it, the truce is a decision we reached unanimously after discussion!"

"For one thing, the food stock in the treasury has fallen below the red line set by the Emperor. If we continue to fight like this endlessly, it's hard to say whether we can survive this winter!"

"Secondly, the progress of the two borders is too fast, so fast that it makes people uneasy. We all feel that it is more appropriate to stop now to consolidate the current territory than to continue to expand the territory..."

Hearing what Meng Tian said, he looked around blankly, only to find that neither Fan Zeng nor Xiao He had the slightest look of surprise on their faces.

Obviously, they have discussed this matter in advance...

"Excuse me, speak bluntly!"

Meng Tian couldn't figure it out. Based on the principle of having a clear conscience and being righteous, he simply raised his hands and asked: "Your Majesty summoned a group of ministers to discuss the border war. Why doesn't this Minister of the Ministry of War know?"

"This...hahaha..."

Chen Shou laughed aloud: "Is your attitude unclear? You are called to discuss it. I'm afraid that as soon as you say something, you are about to beat someone with your fist!"

The fact is that the wave of support for soldiers and war in the country is too fierce, and the resources of the whole country are actively or passively tilted towards the four major military regions. This feeling of being out of control makes him feel uneasy, so he privately summoned Fan Zeng, Xiao He and others , to discuss mitigation strategies.

After all, he is not the real master of this huge empire, and he can't control this fierce horse like Chen Sheng.

Meng Tian looked at Fan Zeng and Xiao He suspiciously.

Fan Zeng and Xiao He all nodded.

Meng Tian didn't think about it anymore, and saluted again: "Your Majesty, the current battle between the two borders is at a critical moment!"

"Bai Qi in southern Xinjiang has just suppressed the remaining large army of Baiyue to the west of the South China Sea. The remnants of Baiyue in the coastal areas behind have not been cleared. Now that the troops are withdrawn, Baiyue will make a comeback. I will try to wipe out Baiyue next year. It will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!"

"Xiang Yu from northern Xinjiang, the latest battle report is that he led the army to chase the dog Rong royal court into Mobei. Right now, the grassland is covered with ice and snow, and the fight is about who can't stand it first. Withdrawing the troops at this time is tantamount to completing that mission." The wish of the Inurong Royal Court!"

"It's not that the old ministers don't know the importance, but that our soldiers lie on the ice and climb the snow and fight to the death. We live in temples, wear animal fur, and cuddle with burning coals, but we retreat lightly... Where do we put millions of soldiers from the two borders? Land? From now on, who will work hard for the country?"

Having said this, everyone in the hall blushed.

Meng Tian looked left and right, and took another strong medicine without fear of death: "I don't know which minister brought up the matter of retreating, but if His Majesty the Emperor is in court, he will definitely cut off the dog's head and throw it in the vegetable market. Let's face it!"

Hearing this, Meng Yi felt chills at the base of his neck, and there were ten thousand donkeys screaming "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

And Fan Zeng, Xiao He, and Chen Ping also looked at this guy with admiration: "You are really brave!" '

As for Chen Shou in the hall, his old face was turning black right now!
Just when he was about to make random excuses to rant about the bully below, Meng Tian suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "By the way, didn't His Majesty the Emperor order the war between the two frontiers before?"

"Ok?"

Chen Shou, Fan Zeng, Xiao He, Chen Ping, and Meng Yi all had their eyes lit up.

Meng Tian looked around in confusion: "It was just a month ago, didn't you receive it?"

Everyone in the hall turned their heads to look at Meng Yi.

Meng Yi was more ignorant than his brother, and shook his head without thinking, "In the past two months, I have never received any secret orders from His Majesty the Emperor...Could it be from Jin Yiwei's document channel?"

Meng Tian: "No, Da Mao brought it back from the Maurya Dynasty...the document didn't say it was only for me!"

Chen Shou took a look at the case: "Where's the document?"

Meng Tian: "Of course it was burned."

Fan Zeng stepped forward: "What did Your Majesty say?"

Meng Tian looked around hesitantly.

Chen Shou followed his gaze around, and clapped the case again: "It's okay to speak up!"

Meng Tian immediately said: "Your Majesty said that there may be a major breakthrough in the war in northern Xinjiang, but in order to avoid misleading the lieutenant general's grasp of the battle situation and causing unnecessary losses, you must not inform the Xuanwu Military Region of this information, and let us do our best to provide logistical support. Work, don't slow down the battle in northern Xinjiang!"

Chen Shou: "Really?"

Meng Tian immediately stood up straight, pointed to the sky and swore: "Even if the old minister has the guts to be thundered, he will definitely not dare to forge the handwriting of His Majesty the Emperor. If His Majesty does not believe it, you can confront him when Da Mao returns again!"

Fan Zeng thought about it and said, "This is indeed like His Majesty the Emperor..."

"Chirp."

Before he could finish his words, a very penetrating Qingyue Eagle's call came into the side hall.

"It's Da Mao who's back!"

Everyone in the hall was overjoyed when they heard the sound.

Chen Shou wrapped his cloak tightly, stepped down from the emperor's seat quickly, and walked out of the hall in three steps at a time, while all the officials followed behind him.

A group of people rushed out of the side hall, and saw a dark cloud-like divine steed golden eagle hovering high above the sky.

Chen Shou jumped on his feet and waved his hands loudly: "What a big boy, come quickly to grandfather..."

……

The majestic Kunlun Mountains, you can see the mountains and the clouds but not the top.

Standing at the foot of Kunlun Mountain for the second time, Chen Sheng looked up at the majestic mountains that seemed to have no change, and his heart was peaceful... It was like looking at an insignificant mountain, a mountain without any grievances.

That's weird.

After Mingming came back, he looked at the mountain, feeling quite uneasy.

Why did it come back so peacefully?
Chen Sheng observed himself and comprehended himself.

In the end, he found a hole in his heart.

A void that kept engulfing his many emotions.

This void is in one day.

He was just a walking dead for a day.

'Tut tsk tsk, poor widower with a dead wife! '

The corners of his eyes drooped, the corners of his mouth drooped into a chuckle, and he waved forward: "Go into the mountain!"

At this moment, he felt like a wild dog running for his life with his tail between his legs!
"Enter the mountain!"

"Enter the mountain!"

"Into the mountain..."

The Huben army obeyed his military order, held high the Chinese character Xuanqi, climbed up the mountain with their heads held high and their chests high.

Kunlun Mountains?
Is it a famous mountain?

Timely, on top of the mountain.

A carefree young Taoist priest with a long green sword hanging from his waist and a crooked Taoist robe sits on a mirror-like bluestone with one leg propped up, looking down with great interest, his eyes seem to pass through the white clouds, Looking into the eyes of a certain pair looking up: "What do you say he is looking at?"

On the side, a majestic middle-aged Taoist priest with jade Ruyi in his hand and a golden-patterned Taoist robe without a single wrinkle sat on his lapel. After listening to the words, he pondered for a while, and said lightly: "Maybe he is looking at how tall our Kunlun Mountain is!"

Between the two, a thin old man with white beard and hair was sitting on the futon, his eyes were slightly closed, he seemed to be in meditation, and he seemed to be taking a nap. Behind him was a huge black and white yin and yang fish, which was slowly turning.

The young Taoist glanced at the middle-aged Taoist, then at the skinny old Taoist, gave a soft "tss" and muttered "no fun, no fun".

Then he lay heavily on the big bluestone on the spot, and sang at the top of his voice: "Open up the earth, open up the heavens and enlighten the truth, talk about the scriptures and the law, and travel to Beijing."

"Five qi dynasties pass on to the Yuan, and three flowers gather on the top to play Wusheng."

"The golden light on the top is divided into five colors, and the red lotus under the feet chases thousands of miles."

"Bagua Immortal Clothes Fly Ziqi, Three Fronts and Swords are Qingping."

"To subdue the tiger and subdue the dragon is the number one, to capture monsters and bind monsters and let them go freely."

"About [-] disciples, and then become elites..."

The majestic middle-aged Taoist sitting upright, tightly clenched Yu Ruyi in his hand, and closed his eyes with frowning.

I don't know if he is in meditation or just taking a nap, the thin old man opened his eyes and listened intently. There seemed to be longing in his cloudy eyes...
