Gentlemen, listen to the sword chant

Chapter 119
"I heard that Qishan's commander-in-chief's mansion is full of loyal and loyal families, but this generation has a stubborn and troublesome second-generation ancestor who is surnamed Lin and named Gusheng. His name is Xiangyang, and he just turned 18 this year. If you guessed correctly, this young general should be the young master of Naqishan, right? Interesting, really interesting, the older brother left, the younger brother came, and he dared to fight alone , should it be said that you are young and ignorant and full of enthusiasm on a whim? Or are you too conceited and arrogant?"

Honma Chizuko held her chin and pondered for a while. Ever since she saw the word "Lin Qi" on the list, she had developed a strong interest in this person. It's fun, she was worrying about not having a chance to anger the imperial court, no, it was delivered to her door?
Qian Hezi planned to conquer Lin Qi by herself, and she wanted to capture Lin Qi alive and see the true face of this man in Mount Lu.

at the same time.

Wuzhou's north-south front is like a meat grinder, harvesting the lives of soldiers all the time. The sky is dark and hazy, as if it might rain at any time.Lin Gusheng was sitting on the horseback, the spear in his hand was dripping with blood, piercing through four or five heads, his face was full of exhaustion, after every charge, when the battle was over, he would always fall into a brief silence.Seeing the young man who was talking and laughing happily with him yesterday lost his life under his nose and was brutally murdered, Lin Gusheng felt very cold in his heart, getting colder and colder.But what followed was blood, and the awakening of the genes imprinted in his blood. He felt that he should ride the battlefield and fight the enemy. He felt that it was a kind of innate fearlessness and heroism. In just a few days, he died There were more than [-] Dongying warriors under his gun.

"Dong dong dong."

The golden sound came.

The soldiers from both sides who were originally fighting together retreated one after another like a tide.

Panting heavily, Lin Gusheng steered the horse, which was almost exhausted, and staggered as if strenuously walking. Lin Gusheng looked around, and there were three hundred warriors behind him, all walking in silence , Some held the heads of Japanese pirates in their hands, some carried the corpses of comrades-in-arms, and some held many captured sabers and weapons like poor and crazy people.

The smoke is everywhere.

There was a layer of stench and gunpowder smoke in the air, but everyone was a soldier and would not be spoiled. They looked forward resolutely, with unwillingness and raging fire in their eyes.

Back at the camp, Lin Gusheng turned over and got off his horse. The horse seemed to be unable to hold on for a long time. When he dismounted, the horse fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth and trembling.

"Count the number of people in each battalion."

"As ordered."

After a while, soldiers came to report back. Originally, Lin Gusheng had only a few thousand people. After several days of bloody battle, only 334 people remained.

War is like a meat grinder.

After learning the answer, Lin Gusheng waved his spear, threw seven or eight human heads on the ground, and poured out more than 20 ears from his bag.

This represents how many Japanese pirates he killed.

More than 300 warriors looked good, and also took out ears, fingers and other objects that could prove their military achievements from their purses.

After counting, the military merits of the soldiers who died in battle were not counted. The people present added up and conservatively killed more than 100 Japanese pirates. At the same time, our own side also lost more than [-] soldiers.

It looks evenly divided, but it is actually a disastrous defeat.

Because of this small battle, 29 establishments were dispatched, with a total of more than 3 troops, while the Japanese pirates only had 9000 people, less than one army.

"General Lin, thank you for your hard work. First order the soldiers to go in and eat some wine and meat to recuperate. We will leave the rest to us." A strong man walked up, a burly man with a machete in his hand, and helped Lin Gusheng up. .

"General Xiao, be careful. These Japanese pirates are very skilled in martial arts and have strong individual combat capabilities."

Lin Gusheng kindly reminded.

The man nodded solemnly, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, general, I'll die when I join the army to serve the country, why should I be afraid? Wait a moment, general, I'll kill a few wolf cubs, cut off their livers, and bring them back Give you a drink."

"Okay, I'll wait for you, come back safely."

The man came out of the tent and shouted: "Xiao's army is assembled!"

The war continues to advance.

Almost at twelve o'clock, conflicts broke out at any time.

Of the more than 100 allied forces in the north, more than a dozen have been wiped out, and even the establishment is gone. Only the flags are still flying alone on the top of the hill. Behind each flag, it represents as few as a thousand people, as many as a few Thousands of military souls.

Inside the big tent, Lin Gusheng took off his battle armor, and tore open his skirt, revealing the deep wound on his chest, which was a knife wound and hurt his bones.After several days of fighting, Lin Gusheng felt exhausted like never before. The rumored ineffective second-generation ancestor did not get scared by the war to pee his pants, but successfully transformed into an upright man.He poured sake on the wound, gritted his teeth, picked open the rotten flesh with a knife, washed it with clean water, and bandaged it casually. At this time, a general walked in. It was Lu Qian. Lu Qian saw this handsome young man There was such a man's behavior, and he said in awe, "You are back, how about the casualties ahead?"

"It's very big." Lin Gusheng replied very shortly.

Indeed, the casualties were very heavy. The Dongying people's single-soldier combat ability is too strong, and one can often fight three. To kill a Japanese pirate requires the joint efforts of three or five people, and even pays casualties.

Lu Qian was sad, because the main force of his Huaiyin army had many generals, and he also sent his subordinates to join the battle in the past few days. A total of 3000 troops were dispatched, and a total of [-] died.

But there was hardly any progress on the front line.

This is the long game.

The autumn harvest is still going on, but obviously, there is not much time left for the Allies.

……

Zhongzhou, capital city.

Counting it down, Jian Guo and the Empress have not announced their visit to court for more than half a month, and all the officials are anxiously waiting, because too many major events have happened this month.For example, the Third Prince led his troops across the Great Wall and fought against the Northern Desert Shaman Army. They wiped out more than [-] enemies in one battle, and regained most of the lost ground on the Great Wall. It can be called a great victory.

Another example is that the First Prince led the army to fight a bloody battle with the Allied Forces of the Great Wilderness at Yumen Pass, retreating [-] miles from the enemy, annihilating more than [-] enemies, and boosting the morale of the army.

For another example, Zuo Huaiyu, the overlord of the Southwest, fought unannouncedly and launched wars against Chongqing, Guizhou, and Yunnan at the same time. On August 18, the Yizhou army captured Lincheng. On the [-]th of the same month, [-] Guizhou troops laid down their weapons and surrendered, and General Zall of Lincheng openly surrendered.

Yuan Pei mobilized 20 troops in Taozhi Mountain in the southeast, and planned a mutiny together with Tangkou and sub-rudders who were dormant in Minzhou. In just a few days, they attacked the city and occupied the land of the three counties.

And, the national army composed of more than 100 troops in Wuzhou broke out armed conflicts in the area from Huaiyin to Guangling, and invested more than 40 troops.

In short, wars are breaking out in the north, west, southwest, southeast coast, and east coast.

The Empire State Building blows in the wind and rain.

Whether it was urgent or good news, countless letters were piled up on the case of Yan Dong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War. He was in a state of desperation, and went to the palace to meet Huang Shi many times, but to no avail. As a last resort, he had to report the matter to the empress.After the death of Emperor Tai'an, although Huangshi supervised the country and the queen was regent in name, in fact, the three major powers of politics, military affairs and economy were decided by Huangshi alone.

Prince Gong's Mansion.

The sun was shining today, and Ji Zai was in a happy mood, not for anything else, but because he had heard the news that Huang Shi was ill, and he was dying. Andi's illness was exactly the same, and there was no cure for it.Ji Zai was delighted that he could easily remove the biggest obstacle to his ascension to the throne, but at the same time, he also had a little hesitation.

Who poisoned Yellowstone?

What is his purpose?
As one of the insiders, Prince Gong knew that the poison was secretly prepared by the Dongying people, and now that Huang Shi was also sick, could it be that the Dongying people attacked Huangshi without saying hello to him?Ji Zai was furious and angry. He regarded the Dongying people as pawns. Now, this pawn does not listen to his orders and does not greet him when he does things. How can he be happy?
At this moment, the butler came over and said respectfully, "My lord, Commander Takeshita, please see me."

"Have a banquet."

With a wave of Ji Zai's hand, he put on a brand new yellow four-claw dragon robe.

In the Great Liang Empire, only the emperor can wear the golden five-claw dragon robe, the prince can wear the yellow four-claw dragon robe, and the prince can wear the purple four-claw dragon robe; For example, kings with different surnames can wear black four-claw dragon robes, while other princes and kings can only wear black python robes.

In the gazebo in the palace, Takeshita arrived unexpectedly.

"A big fight again?"

"Yes."

Regarding the war that is currently breaking out in Wuzhou, Takeshita Weibu attaches great importance to it, and added: "My lord, rest assured, this battle is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. After this battle, the war will be completely over!"

He has this confidence.

But at the same time, Takeshita Weibu was also deeply worried about this battle. He knew about the insect infestation, and people who were hungry and impatient could not be called human beings. They were a group of lunatics.

Ji Zai was not interested in this topic, so he picked up the teapot and poured tea for him. Seeing this, Takeshita hurriedly stood up slightly, holding the teacup in both hands, glanced at him from the corner of his eye, and said with a half-smile: "Commander, your ambition is better than King Ben's!" It’s much bigger than I imagined.”

Takeshita Weibu was a little dazed, his eyes filled with confusion: "My lord, what are you referring to..."

"Huh." Ji Zai sneered, and while speaking, hot tea was poured on Takeshita's hand, and Takeshita hissed in pain, Ji Zai put down the teapot, and said coldly: "Pretend to be stupid, hum, it seems This king has underestimated you, Zhuxia, although there is an old saying in Daliang that 'you can't eat and walk around', but this king doesn't want you to be in a situation where you won't be able to eat until you're full."

Takeshita felt unhappy and even more confused, "My lord, I don't understand, please clarify."

When Ji Zai heard this, he was a little annoyed, pretended, and still pretended, so he picked up the teacup and poured the scalding hot tea on Takeshita's face.

The weather was already hot, and Takeshita was drenched in water.

"You dare to poison Huangshi now, will you dare to poison this king in a few days?"

"Ok?"

Takeshita was dumbfounded.

"What? Do you dare to say that Huangshi's poison was not cast by you?"

It was only then that Takeshita realized that Huangshi was also poisoned, and it was the poison they poisoned Emperor Tai'an. Takeshita didn't know why, so he frowned and said, "My lord, I swear by the Bushido I believe in, I don't know about this."

Seeing his expression, Ji Zai was also stunned for a moment, but still felt that Takeshita was pretending, so he said sarcastically: "Takeshita, you and I are old acquaintances. I know exactly what you are thinking, and this matter is certain." You don't know?"

"I don't know."

Ji Zai frowned, which is more intriguing.

Based on his understanding of Takeshita Weibu, although this person is insidious and cunning, he will definitely not hide this kind of thing from himself.

"Go back and investigate clearly. Could it be that your Dongying cabinet or military government has some plans?"

"it is good."

……

Although Huangshi didn't reveal any falsehoods, the news was still spreading in the capital, and the news spread like wildfire, and most people secretly knew that they were commotioning.

at the same time.

Royal Palace.

Huang Shi's face was pale on the sick bed, and the old Marshal Lin Pojun stood in front of the sick bed, sighing: "Huang Shi, you are really a loyal minister, a piece of red guts is in troubled times, with you in Daliang, An Neng will not continue the 300-year history? "

Huang Shi smiled, "The marshal is overrated."

Huang Shi's face was sallow, he was coughing, he sat up with difficulty, and when he lowered his head, he coughed up blood. He said with a dry smile, "This poison, I underestimated this poison, little Dongpu, wolf ambition, can concoct such a poison." Terrifying poison, colorless and odorless, invades the meridian, nirvana true energy, alas."

He knew how powerful the poison was. After Emperor Tai'an was poisoned, he was bedridden for three years. Huang Shi searched all fourteen states for him, but there was no medicine for him, and countless famous doctors were helpless. In the end, he could only watch his body go from bad to worse. Finally died.

"Recalling, since the day your majesty passed away, I have devoted myself to power and politics, and I only ask questions about things, not right and wrong. Everything I do is based on the example of the late emperor. I don't know, but I don't know anything about the way of being a king. I am an eunuch. , How can I bear this important task. When I deeply understand all the right and wrong in the past, I can’t help sweating, lying down and sitting restlessly, and I can’t be brave and aggressive. I should explain it in Xu Diagram, and I should show the world with benevolence and righteousness. Concentration is the first thing, I often regret it, my eyes are arrogant, I am self-righteous, now I am tossing around, I regret it too much." Huang Shi sighed.

Lin Pojun's face was dull, he was also old, and he rarely asked about court affairs, but he knew what Huangshi was going to do.

That's right.

This poison was planted by Huangshi himself.

The prince is young and a toddler, and he cannot fully understand without experiencing some things.

Huangshi also needs an excuse, rather than bear the infamy of the first life, he also wants to remove all obstacles for the little prince to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

"Marshal, I will trouble you for the future."

Lin Pojun cupped his hands, "It's all for the Great Liang Sheji, why talk about these things?"

Lin Pojun left.

The little prince walked in. He was young, only ten years old, but he had to go through countless bloody storms. His eyes were red, and he lay down in front of the bed, holding Huangshi's hand, "Elder-in-law, didn't you want to teach me the emperor's art? You Get up, get up."

"Your Highness, someone will teach you."

The prince cried and spoke incoherently, "I won't study anymore, I won't study anymore, father-in-law, don't leave, don't abandon me."

"Your Highness, this old servant is old, very old. After all, he is also in his sixtieth year. Don't cry."

Huang Shi stretched out his withered hand to gently caress the prince's tear-stained face, seeking power for a lifetime, he also had to feel that time is hard to come back.
