Crush the Protagonist Into Slag
Chapter 42: 42 Epiphanies of the Fake Prince
The war was about to break out. Ukton was not so stupid. He was angered by Tao Rui a few times and went to war regardless. But in terms of intelligence, he is not as playful as Tao Rui and the emperor.
Tao Rui not only angered him at the border, but also joined forces with the emperor to create a bigger storm in the courtroom.
The border is far away from the capital, and it has been half a year since he left Beijing and did these things at the border. When he was not in the court, his prestige naturally weakened, and it was rumored that he used the head to intimidate the grassland people and cut off transactions with the grassland. Many officials in the court expressed dissatisfaction with him.
The emperor deliberately let this voice become louder, creating an image of Tao Rui being slightly jealous and gradually dissatisfied.
Naturally, the spies from the grasslands spread the news to Ukdon. Ukton also had his actions, that is, he encouraged officials who disliked Tao Rui to speak up to clean up Tao Rui. In the border war, once the general is not trusted by the emperor, there will be problems with the backup and provisions, and the general will be exhausted no matter how powerful it is.
There have been many such exhausted generals in history. Ukton even started to get excited. If Tao Rui was killed by the game he set up, he would not only become a hero on the grasslands, but would also terrify the people of Zhou, he killed their prime minister!
Therefore, Ukton also felt that the time had come, even urgent, and could not give Tao Rui a chance to escape, so he summoned the troops and declared war vigorously.
In the first battle, Tao Rui drew a giant bow, pierced Yang with a hundred paces, and shot Ukdon's younger brother with the same father and mother with one arrow!
The three princesses went to the battlefield, and the corpses of the enemy were piled up under the horses.
In the second battle, Tao Rui ordered the soldiers to ambush first, caught the enemy by surprise, captured a large number of prisoners, and watched the enemy retreat.
In the third battle, both sides were red-eyed. Tao Rui and the three princesses took the lead and rushed to the forefront, like a killing **** who harvested human heads. They worked together to find the enemy general, the most respected brother of Ukdon, and beheaded them in front of the army. .
After these three battles, the soldiers of Dazhou were greatly encouraged, and the soldiers of the grasslands were afraid.
Wild wolves are fierce, but that doesn't mean they won't be afraid.
It was a temporary alliance that had been formed at this time, and it had collapsed at this time, and several tribes asked Ukdon to give an explanation. If he hadn't sworn to Changshengtian that he would win the battle, how could they have agreed to do it together? The results of it? They suffered heavy losses and offended Da Zhou severely.
Ukton was full of hatred, anger and heartache, and the questioning of them was almost exhausted.
At this time, the "thunder" that Tao Rui had buried before also exploded, and many grassland people began to question whether Ukdon was really worthy of being their khan?
Originally, the grassland was fine, but Ukdon did this as soon as he took office. Why should he continue to be a khan?
Especially in the past few months of the three battles, the grassland has consumed too much food and grass, and their lives have become difficult. When people are in hardship, they will naturally resent the person who brought them hardship. That person is not Tao Rui, but Ukden!
Tao Rui dignifiedly demanded compensation, which was caused by Ukton causing people to harass the border. Ukton did not pay compensation and said that those people were traitors, which led Tao Rui to kill those people directly, causing them to lose their heads and cut off the transaction between Da Zhou and the grassland. Then Ukton declared war with confidence, but it was not Tao Rui who was suppressed and no support, but their grassland.
Everything was caused by Ukdon, he was not worthy of being a Tuolie Khan, let alone leading other tribes.
It is impossible for the Tuolie tribe to have no ambitions. This is the perfect time. They are in civil strife.
Other tribes have long wanted to surpass this first tribe, and naturally they have to take the opportunity to do something.
It's true that they still have the big enemy Da Zhou, but it's human nature, Tao Rui didn't chase after them to force them, and they haven't reached a dead end. Since they see the benefits at hand, how can they not make money?
The prairie people started to make trouble by themselves, and the border guards just took advantage of this time to rest, and Tao Rui ordered the nearby places to deliver grain and grass.
While celebrating in the barracks, General Wei also laughed and said, "It's really lucky this time, they started fighting inexplicably, ha, wait for us to slow down, and we can fight ten again!"
The third princess glanced at Tao Rui and said with a smile, "They didn't fight for no reason at all. All of this was a plan set up by the marshal. Before the marshal came to the border, the layout started. Otherwise, how could the battle go so smoothly?"
Since the start of the war, Tao Rui has become the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and everyone has begun to call him the marshal instead of the prime minister.
General Wei was stunned for a moment. A lieutenant with a living brain had already figured it out. He slapped the table and smiled: "Wonderful! As expected of a person who can become prime minister at the age of twenty, Marshal, I respect you!"
"Marshal, I respect you too! This time the civil strife in the grasslands will consume a lot of troops, and our losses have been reduced to a minimum! All thanks to the marshal!"
Several people stood up, and Tao Rui also stood up with a glass of wine, "It is only because everyone cooperated well and fought bravely on the battlefield that we can achieve today's victory. I respect a few."
"Happy! Marshal, we won't go home if we don't get drunk today!" General Wei slapped his head after saying that, "I forgot that we were drinking water. After we leave the barracks, we won't go home without getting drunk with the marshal. Little brother Liang. Little brother Liang is really good. The fierceness of killing the enemy made me panic. At first, I thought you were a relative of the royal family. How could it be possible that you are so reckless? a ha ha ha."
The third princess also raised her cup and said with a cheerful smile: "I have no experience, and I have learned a lot from the generals. I respect you a few. Thank you for your willingness to teach me."
General Wei and the others waved their hands, "It's your own ability, young hero, we are not as brave as you at your age."
What they said was not a compliment but the truth. The third princess said that she had learned a lot from them, but in fact, the third princess learned more from Tao Rui. And she's progressing so fast that she's already caught up with them and stands alone on the battlefield. Who would guess that she was here for military exploits? She herself made a lot of military exploits on the battlefield, and she won their admiration.
On the way back to the residence after the banquet, the third princess has been very happy, and she has never been happy. Because this is the first time that she has won the respect of so many people by relying only on her personal strength instead of the identity of the third princess.
This feeling is so good, it's like flying into the clouds, indescribably good.
Seeing her smile, Tao Rui asked in a low voice, "Very happy?"
The third princess nodded vigorously, looking at his eyes that seemed to be glowing, "I like it here! Pure, simple, passionate, and being able to defend the family and the country with everyone, it seems that I have finally found the meaning of my existence."
"You can do more." Tao Rui said, "You stand in a higher position, you can do more, and see more fully. The emperor also has high hopes for you."
The third princess was stunned, smiled and shook her head, "I will do more and do my best, but I don't ask for anything. I hope my father will be healthy for the rest of his life, don't worry too much about me, and work hard. One If you are not careful, it may also tarnish his reputation."
She cryptically stated that she did not have to fight for imperial power, and sighed, "I have experienced wars before I know how lethal the battles are, and I also understand why the emperor cannot easily help me to ascend to the throne. I have learned a lot during this trip, and I am more open-minded. Open up, I hope that Da Zhou will get better and better, I will do my best, even if my name is not in the history books, so what? I don't care."
Tao Rui really likes such a transparent person. He smiled, looked at the distant mountains, and said with emotion: "I wanted to go around the clouds and wild cranes, and take my family to find a place with beautiful mountains and beautiful waters to live in. But come here. Only after I came here did I realize that even if I lived in seclusion in the mountains, I would one day intervene in these matters. The country is so picturesque, how can I watch it destroy?"
It's not the first time he's been on the battlefield, but this time his feelings are extraordinarily different. To say the difference, it's probably more real.
He's not going on for friends, or family, or anything else now, but he wants to go this way.
This was the first world he had traveled through after leaving the Time and Space Bureau. There was no mission objective, and there was no threat of death if the mission failed.
In fact, it was because he had no motivation and his life was too long. He suddenly became confused and didn't know what to do.
But after living day by day, he found that he had integrated into this world, and he truly felt everything alive here, just like he had lived here and was a part of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
He protects his family and the country from his heart, cherishes his family and friends from his heart, and treats the girl he likes from his heart.
His blood is hotter, his heartbeat is more real, and his emotions are more intense.
He seems to have a new wish, that is, to get down to earth and live this life with sincerity.
Like a person who was already here, he doesn't remember his past or future generations, he just regards this as his only life and lives with his heart.
Live with heart!
Tao Rui suddenly felt an epiphany, and the whole person suddenly became enlightened, as if revived, and got happiness from the inside out.
He stopped, raised his hand and broke off a leaf from the tree.
The third princess looked back in puzzlement. He met the clear eyes of the third princess, and the corners of his lips curved into a smile, "Let's go to see the moon?"
The three princesses felt that something had changed, and the atmosphere between them was a little different, and they couldn't help but feel a fever in their ears.
She intuited that "we" had a special meaning, and nodded without thinking.
The two got on the roof and sat side by side.
Tonight is just the full moon, there are no clouds in the sky, and they can see the bright full moon when they look up.
The third princess remembered her father, the first time their father and daughter had been separated for so long. I don't know how the father's health is. Can you handle the government smoothly? Are you worried about her who is far away at the border?
A pleasant music sounded in his ears, and the third princess turned her head in surprise and saw Tao Rui holding a leaf on his lips, and the music came from his lips.
She didn't know what tune it was. She had never heard it before, but she felt that the tune was soothing and beautiful, as if it could lead people to forget all their troubles and go to the most beautiful place.
Her heart gradually calmed down, and she gradually gave birth to joy, a faint, very comfortable, joy that people could not ignore.
She seemed to...know what Tao Rui meant by "we".
The moon was bright like water, and everyone who heard the song in the barracks thought it was a song of homesickness. Only the two people sitting on the roof understood. This song made their hearts connect. At this moment, the years are quiet.
