Legend of the Knight

Chapter 82
Prince Cheng's Mansion, in the small hall.

King Cheng sat on the seat, and he didn't pay attention to the man kneeling in front of him, just drinking tea by himself.

Bai Jiuchi, the counselor next to King Cheng, yelled loudly with a dark face: "The action is about to start tonight. You come to the palace at this time. You know, if the news leaks out, you will die a hundred times!"

"Hi!" Hearing this, the man in black quickly leaned down, knelt on the ground and said without daring to lift his head, "I was ordered to send a letter to the Lord."

After finishing speaking, he still lowered his head and took out a letter from his arms, held the letter in both hands, and held it high above his head.

Bai Jiuchi took two steps forward and snatched the letter from the man in black. He opened it casually, read ten lines at a glance, and quickly read the letter.

I saw Bai Jiuchi throwing the letter paper casually, pointing at the man in black who was still kneeling on the ground and yelling: "Bah! Dog!

When is it your turn to raise conditions?

Tell King Heizuka Luo, you King Fusang is not worth mentioning in the eyes of my prince, what is he! "

"Hi!" The man in black is still kneeling on the ground respectfully, as for the expression on his face and the activities in his heart, it is unknown.

"Pan Ran." King Cheng put down his tea bowl, and first pulled back his firepower output.

King Cheng raised his head and said to the kneeling man in black: "You don't have to repeat the things you said before, the key now is to do your own thing well.

I know, you have been out for several years, and you are very homesick.

But the more you are at this juncture, the more you have to be calm and down-to-earth when doing things.

After tonight, you go with the wind.

Go northward with a smooth wind, even if the imperial court sends pursuers, they will not be able to catch up with you. "

When the man in black heard King Cheng's words, the humiliation and grievance in his heart just now turned into emotion in an instant. He choked up and said: "The Lord is a lesson! Tonight I will lead 87 elite dead soldiers into the prison, and there will be no retreat thoughts."

"Hmph." Bai Jiuchi snorted at the side, and he said dissatisfiedly: "Don't talk about dead men, this is a big deal. I don't care if you live or die, but it must be done."

"Hi!" The man in black replied firmly.

"Do you want me to teach you how to do it again?" Bai Jiuchi didn't relax because of the attitude of the man in black. Instead, he had a posture of pushing his nose on his face.

"Hi! I've made arrangements, and after many days of training, all the dead soldiers will say the phrase 'save the general'.

Everyone brought enough kindling oil.We will fully implement the three sets of plans given by you. "The man in black raised his head and said respectfully.

"That's good." Bai Jiuchi waved his hand and said, "Let's go, be careful on the way back, and don't let the wind go."

"Hi! I'll take my leave." The man in black kowtowed to King Cheng again, then knelt down and retreated until he exited the door before turning around and leaving.

When the man in black walked away, King Cheng smiled and said to Bai Jiuchi: "Pan Ran, do you know who that person was just now?"

Bai Jiuchi said disdainfully, "A Japanese."

After hearing Bai Jiuchi's words, King Cheng said with a chuckle, "He is the younger brother of King Heizhong Luo."

Bai Jiuchi still said disdainfully: "Not a Japanese yet."

King Cheng finally couldn't help laughing, he said: "Pan Ran, I knew that you have always had opinions on my subduing the Japanese.

However, you have to admit that Japanese people have their own advantages. "

Bai Jiuchi snorted and said: "These Japanese people deserve to die, and General Qi must die too. Both of them are future troubles for you, my lord. Getting rid of them together today can be said to be the best of both worlds."

King Cheng looked at Bai Jiuchi with a smile and said nothing more.

This is another quirk of Bai Jiuchi, or to say he is angry with a scholar.

Go up to the army and plan.

Bai Jiuchi has a natural interest in conspiracies, he endures all kinds of despicable tricks, but he can't stand being with foreigners.

Academically angry, academically angry.

In King Cheng's original plan, the Japanese were a great force. They not only looted a lot of property for King Cheng by plundering along the coast, but more importantly, they could contain part of the court's troops.

When necessary, these Japanese people can also go ashore to form an army and serve as cannon fodder in the siege of the city.

What is the purpose of Japanese people doing so many dirty jobs?
It's funny to say that the Heizuka Luo King, who is known as the overlord of Dongying Sea, only asked Cheng Wang to give him the title of Dongying Daimyo, that is, the next king of Fusang King.

The condition is as simple as that, that is, a few envoys and one edict can do it, in exchange for thousands of Japanese who swore their allegiance to the death.

Bai Jiuchi was extremely opposed to such a cost-effective thing.

Bai Jiuchi analyzed King Cheng one by one from several aspects, and it has to be said that King Cheng was moved by Bai Jiuchi's persuasion.

The situation is this and that.

As the Japanese burned, killed and plundered the coastal areas in recent years, the people's anger has grown. As the place where King Cheng raised his troops, the hearts of the people naturally want King Cheng to be able to do so.

At this time, if the news that there are Japanese people under King Cheng's command is spread, it will have a great blow to King Cheng's reputation.

The second is that through years of fighting at sea, some rivers and lakes organizations have grown in strength. In terms of sea power, they are no worse than the Japanese, so why bother to look far away.

The third is that the Japanese have been killing and plundering for many years. Although most of the acquired property was handed over to King Cheng, they still accumulated a lot in private.There is a saying that kills the chicken and takes the egg, and you get the chicken and the egg, killing two birds with one stone.

The last thing Bai Jiuchi used to convince King Cheng was Huang Xiaoshi.

……

After the Kurozuka Toshi family left the small hall, they walked around for a long time under the leadership of the servants, and finally left the palace through a small gate.

This small gate is usually used by the servants of the palace to carry water and firewood. The position of the gate is remote, and after going out, it is even more remote, and it is already in the wilderness.

Prince Cheng's Mansion was not built in its own closed city like other palaces.

The purpose of building the Prince's Mansion was to demolish a large piece of open space in the center of the city. At that time, King Cheng was sympathetic to the people, so he offered to build another Palace [-] miles outside Hangzhou City.

There is an idiom called back away from the house, which originally refers to the meaning of respect.

King Cheng took the initiative to retreat for a while to show his love for the people, which also won the first wave of good reputation for King Cheng.

From today's point of view, the establishment of the palace in the wilderness has other unexpected benefits. Some people say that in fact, King Cheng already had a heart of disobedience back then.

Which kind it is, perhaps only Cheng Wang himself knows in his heart.

The Kurozuka Toshi family walked towards somewhere outside the city without saying a word, stepping on the path that the weeds were trying to cover, and a gray-clothed boy who had been following him after leaving the small hall finally couldn't help it. Dissatisfaction in the heart.

The gray-clothed boy said angrily to Heizuka Toshika: "People in this dynasty look down on us too much! That's all for King Cheng, that tall man dares to be so condescending to us. I think..."

The gray-clothed boy hadn't finished speaking when Kurozuka Toshiie stopped in his tracks.

Kurozuka Toshiie turned around without saying a word, he slapped the gray-clothed boy on the face with all his strength.

The gray-clothed boy was dizzy from being slapped, he staggered two steps back before standing still, and then there was a fishy smell in his mouth.The boy in gray spit on the ground, his mouth was full of blood.

"You have to remember why I hit you." Kurozuka Toshiie stared at the gray-clothed boy and said, "I hit you because I am stronger than you, so I can hit you."

The gray-clothed boy looked at Kurozuka Toshiie, unable to digest the meaning of what he said for a while.

Kurozuka Toshiie said to the gray-clothed boy: "Taste the anger and dissatisfaction in your heart now, and then suppress it and hide it well. When you are stronger than me one day, you can let me taste your anger and dissatisfaction."

The gray-clothed boy seemed to understand what the Kurozuka Toshi family was referring to. He said, "Second Brother, is King Cheng so important to us? Our Kurozuka family has no nobles, so we have become the overlord of the sea."

Kurozuka Toshiie said to the boy in gray: "So Kurozuka can only become the overlord, not the overlord."

Kurozuka Toshika saw that the gray-clothed boy still didn't quite understand, and continued to say to him: "You are smarter than me, you must study the Chinese culture well. From now on, our family will not only need people who can hold knives, but also people who can hold fans." .

Only by becoming a daimyo can everything in the Kurozuka family be truly passed down.Everything we do is to let the Heizuka family be passed down from generation to generation. "

"Hi." The boy in gray said loudly with some excitement.

Hearing this, Kurozuka Toshiie's slightly excited expression immediately became very serious, and he said, "You should answer 'yes'."

"Yes..." The gray-clothed boy tried his best to overcome his habits, and replied awkwardly.

"Don't underestimate those who hold fans." Kurozuka Toshiie said to the boy in gray, "Their wisdom is far beyond ours.

The action tonight was planned by that tall man with the fan. It can be said to be incomparably exquisite, one after another, no matter how you look at it, that General Qi will undoubtedly die.

And I, even the eldest brother, will never be able to make such a plan.

Putting you ashore is something we've been doing for years.

You have been learning Chinese with me all these years, isn't it just for today.From today onwards, you are no longer Kurozuka Saburo, you are from the Celestial Dynasty, understand? "

"Understood..." The gray-clothed boy looked at Toshika Kurozuka and shed tears.

He knew that today was the farewell between the second brother and him, even if the second brother could return safely tonight, maybe the two of them would never meet again in this lifetime, nor would they be able to recognize each other when they met.

Kurozuka Toshiie patted the gray-clothed boy's head pitifully and said, "When the Kurozuka family becomes famous, that's when you come back from your studies. Otherwise..." Kurozuka Toshiie sighed, and said: "It's good to be a person of the Celestial Dynasty and live in the Celestial Dynasty."

……

On the other side of the story, Huang Xiaoshi, who is shedding the sweat of youth together with Weiming, doesn't know that his shit-stirring stick has repeatedly stirred up the plot, and finally changed the original plot drastically.

This time Bai Jiuchi was able to lay out a plan to completely cut off the Japanese followers for King Cheng. The two most important key points are inseparable from Huang Xiaoshi.

One is that some time ago, Huang Xiaoshi assisted Shi Yi to escort a large amount of kerosene and thunderbolts to Hangzhou.With this batch of kerosene and thunderbolts, the Sea Shark Gang has the combat power to crush the Japanese fleet.

Since he wanted to kill chickens to get eggs, King Cheng now has a knife that can kill chickens.

The second is that Huang Xiaoshi is not only a member of Shennong Baicaomen, but also joined Tianlongjiao, it seems that his position is not low.

In Bai Jiuchi's plan, Shuzhong and Tianlongjiao are two absolutely crucial points. It can be said that this determines the success or failure of the army.

Let me talk about Shuzhong first.

Due to geographical reasons, Central Shu and all parts of the Central Plains are located in the same place, and there have been no mountains and no water. However, there has been a saying since ancient times: "The one who wins the middle of Shu wins the world."

Shuzhong is an extremely important strategic location.

First of all, in the Central Shu Plain, there is a large piece of excellent arable land that can be cultivated. These arable land can provide a certain amount of military food supply when the war situation is favorable, and can be used as capital for retreating when the war situation is unfavorable.

Secondly, there is a large population in central Shu, and it has been a source of high-quality soldiers throughout the ages.

To this day, people in Bashu name boys with the words "bing" and "courage".

Thirdly, Bashu is connected to Longyou on the top, Yungui on the bottom, and Tubo on the left. These three directions are the places where King Cheng's reinforcements will be sent.

One place in Bashu connects these three places.

Because Bashu is too important, Bai Jiuchi has been planning Bashu's affairs for a long time.

On the one hand, Bai Jiuchi secretly used the power possessed by the imperial court to win over officials at all levels in Bashu.

On the other hand, the power of Cao Mang should not be underestimated.

The Tang Sect was the first Jianghu sect in central Shu to be brought under King Cheng's command.

The Tang Sect has an errand in the court itself, Bai Jiuchi didn't even have to say much, Tang Fei, the head of the Tang Sect, had already accepted his head and bowed down.

After the Tang Sect was taken down, the Bagua Sect who had children and in-laws with the Tang Sect also naturally became their own.

However, this is not enough, not far enough.

Bai Jiuchi assigned this task to the Tianlong Sect, since the Tianlong Sect also wanted to expand to the Central Plains.

Three years ago, the Heavenly Dragon Sect reported that they had finally laid their first nail in the middle of Sichuan, subduing a sect that sells medicine.

After hearing the report of the Tianlong Sect, Bai Jiuchi sighed in his heart. These three-sect and nine-rate guys still can't get on the stage after all.

As a result, it really surprised Bai Jiuchi. In just three years, this Shennong Baicaomen not only occupied the entire central Sichuan, but also spread its influence to Luoyang. their medicine.

This is really amazing.

Bai Jiuchi focused on understanding the rise of Shennong Baicaomen, and found that the key point was in a young man named Huang Xiaoshi.

Of course, Bai Jiuchi hadn't taken Huang Xiaoshi to heart at that time.

As a result, when the information on Beichou came out, Bai Jiuchi thought, and the first name that popped up in his mind was: Huang Xiaoshi!
Or, this is called intuition.

If I have to talk about a reason, it may be because in Bai Jiuchi's subconscious mind, he deeply agrees with those with noble bloodlines, who are more capable.

This is called "Is the golden scale a thing in the pool".

Wherever the dragon seed lineage is placed, it will be a blockbuster.

Of course, Bai Jiuchi also questioned Huang Xiaoshi's status as the crown prince.

This is the quality he should have as a counselor, and it has little to do with his subjective thoughts.

In fact, Bai Jiuchi only had one thought in his mind: "If Huang Xiaoshi is not the prince's son, I will eat this pen in my hand."

　Symptoms have subsided, let's lie down for a few more days.

　　Fortunately, there are many manuscripts.

　　In this case, depositing manuscripts is as reassuring as depositing money.
