The devil is coming

Chapter 788 I also want face
"General!"
The Eighth Prince was really speechless at this moment. In the short period of time before, his heart had experienced ups and downs again and again, like a chicken being held up by the neck, quickly tightening and then suddenly relaxing again and again. .
"Your Majesty, the Yan army came here from our Chu territory and outflanked us.
You said,
If I were the great Chu, I would still be the great Chu I was back then.
Yan people,
Does he dare? "
"General, what do you mean?"
"If it were the Chu State back then, although there were many nobles enfeoffing and restricting the imperial power, it could be said that the local army was strong. If the Qu family was still there, not to mention whether Fan City would be lost, but Fan Zhengwen was really determined to do it. On the other hand, Ping Xihou was also determined to save him. Even if Qu's Qingluan army was slightly inferior, it could still fight the Yan army successfully.
But now, the local nobility has declined greatly. Our country, Chu, seems to have concentrated power in the new capital of Ying, and His Majesty has all the power. However, the Yan people can come to our Chu land whenever they want, as if they are in an uninhabited land. Leave if you want.
The slaves borrowed the road from the Jin region, but the slaves came out of surprise and walked around the mountain road. In the end, it was a trick;
But, Yanren, how many people came this time?
Not to mention the tens of thousands of riders, they rushed in openly and openly! "
"The Yan people have many cavalry, so..."
"The reason why they dare to come is because they are not afraid of not being able to go back."
"This……"
"It is clear that Your Majesty wants to imitate the former emperor of Yan State, and the slaves are willing to help Your Majesty do so. But now, the contrast between Yan and Chu's forms has not changed because of the death of the emperor of Yan State, but has become more and more obvious and harmonious. It's clear.
But right now, he is from Yan, and he can fight whenever he wants. I am a big Chu, so I can only defend passively.
The slave's dangerous move this time was also because he saw that the Pingxihou Mansion was planning to use troops against our Chu territory, so he took the first step. He wanted to wipe out the rebellion of the Fan family and the Qu family first, just to fill the balance a little.
In the final analysis, if you have enough strength and you are really not afraid at all, why should you try to take advantage of it? "
"General, what do you mean by saying this to me now?"
"It doesn't mean anything, I just want to say something.
Your Majesty believes that after the death of the first emperor of the Yan Kingdom, the national power of the Yan Kingdom will decline. After the absence of the two kings of the northern and southern states of the Yan Kingdom, the Yan Kingdom itself will be in civil strife.
But there is no chaos in the Yan Kingdom. The Pingxi Hou Mansion in the Yan Kingdom is gradually growing into another Situ family, another... Dacheng Kingdom.
Your Majesty believes that no matter how good the relationship between the new monarch of Yan State and Ping Xihou was before, once one party sits on the throne, the relationship will immediately turn into suspicion between the imperial court and the feudal town;
But no, the Marquis of Pingxi did not respect his own troops. You don't need to look to know that what he brought this time is definitely the real elite. He is not afraid of the loss of his family's foundation. It is better than a national war. How can this be Looking half suspicious?
Your Majesty wants to plan it slowly and cut off all the dead branches and leaves to wait for the new shoots to regenerate. If it were five years ago or ten years ago, there would be no problem. Self-reform to eliminate the accumulated shortcomings will certainly make his own weakness for a period of time be eliminated by him. The state has opportunities to take advantage of, but it can ultimately be blocked.
At that time, the first imperial horse of the Yan State invaded the family, and the Jin people thought that there would be an opportunity to take advantage of the chaos that would follow in the Yan State, so they united the two armies to attack Yan.
But in the past, the Jin people were divided into three families. Each had its own agenda and was dissatisfied internally and externally. How could such opponents be comparable to the Yan Kingdom today?
Your Majesty wants to bloom new branches and build a great Chu, but there are Yan people like tigers and wolves outside. How can the Yan people give Your Majesty such a chance to take advantage of it?
The current situation is different.
Qu Tiannan is dead,
He died when the princes were in chaos, and when I, the great Chu, had no time to care about others;
Shizhuguo died during the battle between Yan and Chu;
Now, it is not yet known whether the Duguzhu Kingdom in the south can escape intact.
But even if some of the soldiers and horses of the Dugu family can be withdrawn, their skeleton is basically ruined.
Our country of Chu already lacks cavalry, but the infantry formations of our great Chu were so brave that they would not be afraid of carrying cavalry in the field. However, in the past few years, one after another, elite troops and horses have been lost. The Yan people swallowed it up and ate it.
Although the Imperial Imperial Army of Da Chu was retained as much as possible by the slaves in the last round of the Yan-Chu War, after a lot of attacks and efforts, and then pulled back, it seemed that the troops were still strong, but in fact they were already exhausted.
Without the support of these elites, the Yan people will become more unscrupulous.
And in the past few years, some people, some soldiers and horses were actually sent to the Yan people for food by His Majesty with a tacit understanding. "
"General, what you are saying is that for this defeat, the responsibility lies not with you, General, but with my brother?"
"I didn't expect that Pingxihou would dare to kill Zi Chudi in such a grand manner. Perhaps, before making this choice, Pingxihou also risked everything.
But looking at it now, he won.
Da Chu is like a towering tree, but actually it is empty inside.
It's a pity that I didn't dare to say these words to His Majesty before, and I didn't even dare to mention them. It's only now that I have the courage to say them. "
"Do you want me to convey these words of yours to Brother Huang?"
"My lord, do you dare?"
At this time, the last wave of resistance in front had been broken through by the Yan army. Although there was still some distance between the Yan army and the general's flag, there was no longer an obstacle!
"General, it's already this time, are you still kidding me?
We...what should we do now? "
General Nian sighed and said:
"Your Majesty, just stand here."
"What? What about you, General?"
"Slave, I'm running away."
"You want to run away, but I have to stand here?"
"Without you, Da Chu will only lose a little more face. It's not a big problem. Anyway, he doesn't care about losing a little more face;
But without the servants, the king would have no one to use. "
"..." The Eighth Prince.
What's annoying is that in this situation, this slave dared to say such a thing;
What's even more annoying is that he can't refute what this slave said.
Even if the emperor brother were asked to choose by himself, he would definitely choose Nian Yao without hesitation.
I was angry, but suddenly I was no longer angry;
The Eighth Prince even rubbed his face with his sleeves. After taking a deep breath, his expression calmed down:
"General, leave quickly. Da Chu, I still need you. Brother Huang, I also need you. I'm here to cut off your heir apparent."
“The slave actually doesn’t want to leave, the slave wants to stay;
The slave also wants to retain some dignity. If he loses, he loses.
I have been a slave since I was born, but I also want to be a true nobleman before the end of my life.
unfortunately,
Still have to try to escape.
Ugh,
After all, he is a slave.
In addition, Your Majesty, you don’t have to cut off the queen, just stand under my banner. There is no need to resist or resist, just stand here quietly. In terms of relationship, Ping Xihou is still your brother-in-law.
When you were young, you appeared to be smart and well-spoken, and you seemed to have traveled a lot, but you were just looking around and having fun, but in fact you didn't get involved.
That Ping Xihou, I think he won't embarrass you, embarrass one person... hmm.
He dared to let Qu Peiluo go at first, but you behaved yourself, so I guess it won't take long before you let him go. "
"..." The Eighth Prince.
Nian Yao knelt down to the Eighth Prince,
Road:
"Your Majesty, in case this slave fails to escape, I have to ask you to bring a message to His Majesty. The previous one was just the slave's own complaint, and the next one is what I hope you will convey to me.
Of course, if His Majesty asks you if the servant said anything else, you can follow the order and tell what the previous servant said. "
"What...words."
"The slave is useless. After all, he has lost this hand. The slave has failed to live up to His Majesty's expectations for the slave.
However, this slave has followed his master all his life, and has lived a life of splendor and ease. In this life, he has lived a decent life.
Pity,
There is no way to continue to help the master revive Dachu.
Servant..."
Nian Yao pursed his lips twice. Firstly, time did not allow for it, and secondly, "a man's words are good even when he is about to die." He was too lazy to be polite.
"I wish that my master may live forever and that the country of Chu may be forever solid."
finished,
Nian Yao stood up, with a dozen personal guards standing beside him.
"Thank you, brothers."
"Swear to the death to protect the general!"
"Swear to the death to protect the general!"
"Let's go into the mountain and if we can meet up with the navy, I, Nian Yao, will have another day!"
The Eighth Prince watched Nian Yao ride away,
then,
He stood alone under the general's banner. The original guards around him had been sent to the army to attack the city and seek military glory a few days ago. Therefore, now the trees fell and the hozens were scattered, and the defeated Chu was everywhere. Man, if Nian Yao is gone, no one will care about the general's flag.
After standing for a while, he simply sat down.
Not long after, the sound of horse hooves came from ahead. He raised his head and the first thing he saw was the Xuanjia Marquis riding Pixiu.
A group of knights in black armor surrounded the flag, their swords pointing forward.
Lord Zheng rode Pixiu to the general's flag and looked at the young man sitting below.
Nian Yao is not here,
Marquis Zheng had previously thought about whether the young general would put away his armor and stand there, waiting for him to come over. Before admitting defeat, he would say a few words to himself. This would be in line with the aesthetics of the novel.
But that person obviously didn't have such a choice.
At this time, the Eighth Prince mustered up his courage, raised his head, and looked at Lord Zheng;
A smile appeared on his face,
He said with a little flattery:
"Brother-in-law... I finally meet you."
Marquis Zheng ignored this brother-in-law and waved his hand forward.
Road:
"Whoever captures Nian Yao alive or takes back Nian Yao's head will be rewarded heavily by me!"
"Here!"
The knights around him immediately chased forward.
immediately,
Lord Zheng looked at A Ming, who had always stood beside him habitually.
He opened his mouth and said:
"A Ming."
"exist."
“I have never liked the idea of ​​a fateful enemy, and I will never give another chance to another opponent because of whom I value.
We have spent so much effort, gambled most of our fortune, and worked so hard. If he really ran away in the end, it would be really embarrassing.
I don't like this kind of long drama, I like it a little crisper.
clear? "
A Ming nodded, picked up the wine bottle, pulled out the cork, and took a sip of the blood inside.
"clear."
Lord Zheng stretched out his hand, grabbed Pi Xiu's mane and said calmly:
“Last time, you missed it;
Give you another chance.
I don't want to have to comfort you when you come back and say, "It's only three things." "
A Ming smiled,
Road:
"My lord, if he runs away again this time, my subordinates will have no shame in coming back.
I,
A Ming,
Also want face. "
