Chapter 174 shocked the world

"Sorrowful, ask the vast earth, who is the master of ups and downs?"

Xu Yuanshou recited this poem over and over again, and drank three pots of wine in a row for this purpose.

Not for anything else, but for his students to finally have the consciousness of being the master of others.

When there was only one county in Lantian County, Yun Zhao humbled himself and said that it was called wisdom.

Now, Lantian has encompassed 68 states, with more than 10 million people under its rule, 100,000 soldiers, and countless heroes and heroes hidden in the countryside.

Today's Lantian is full of civil and military affairs, and the country is rich and the people are strong under his rule.

If it is a hidden dragon, its scales and claws should fly, and if it is a milk tiger, it should also roar on the mountain.

"Sorrowful, ask the vast earth, who is the master of ups and downs?"

After Emperor Chongzhen heard this poem, he stopped dinner......

In the main hall, he sighed for a long time, knowing that it was dawning.

Jiannu, he can negotiate peacefully, Li Hongji, Zhang Bingzhong and others, he can use the power of the world to clear up, Yun Zhao...... He's on his wings.

Counting the power in his hands, a strong sense of powerlessness invaded his whole body.

In the early morning, he forced himself to eat two bowls, killed two unsightly eunuchs with his staff, changed into dragon robes and went to the palace.

Today's meeting is the same as usual, and the bad news is still coming as scheduled.

The officials were still chattering and attacking each other, and if they listened carefully, they could still hear deep fear in their words.

Yun Zhao's army left Guanzhong for the first time without concealment, and although the front was directed at Xiangyang under Li Hongji's rule, the feeling that that army brought to the Ming civil and military officials was still fear.

Each of them knew the purpose of the emperor's meeting today, but none of them mentioned Guanzhong Yunzhao.

I just want to disturb the emperor's mind with one bad news after another, hoping that the emperor will forget the existence of Yun Zhao.

No matter how many bad things are, there is a degree after all, and the court meeting is held from sunrise to the afternoon, and when the important ministers already feel that there is nothing to say, the emperor still sits on the dragon chair and does not announce his intention to withdraw from the court.

Shoufu Zhou Yanru saw that the important ministers were no longer talking, so he sighed secretly and said: "Your Majesty, the eldest daughter of the emperor is already cardamom, and it is appropriate to choose a match, and the ministers think that they should be the role model officials, military and civilian people, etc., thirteen or four years old, with good character, pure family education, and handsome talents, sign up and go to the inner government to choose." ”

Emperor Chongzhen said expressionlessly: "Quasi-play, the wedding of the eldest daughter of the emperor should be used in the palace and crown clothes and other ceremonies, and the department will do it as usual." ”

After the words of the two gentlemen and ministers were over, the quiet fallen leaves could be heard in the main hall.

After a while, the court was as lively as a vegetable market, and everyone began to praise the eldest princess for her nobility and elegance.

Everyone knows what the reason for the emperor and Shoufu to propose a princess marriage match at this time, and still no one wants to say the word Yunzhao.

No one said that the emperor would not retreat...... So, the kings and ministers held each other until the evening.

"Suddenly, ask the vast earth, who is the master of ups and downs?

Back to King Chuang, Yun Zhao's meaning in writing this half-word is that apart from him, who can be in charge of the great tomorrow?

It is the same meaning as when the king of Chu asked Zhou Tianzi about the importance of Ding. ”

After Niu Jinxing answered Li Hongji's question, he retreated.

"Hahaha, the former yellow-mouthed son, today is finally tough, grandpa thought that he was ready to be the eighth king in his life, but I didn't expect this yellow-mouthed son to grow together, and finally dared to say a word in his heart.

However, the big tomorrow is so big, where can't he go, why did he take a fancy to his grandfather's Xiangyang? ”

Niu Jinxing said: "What Yun Zhao is worried about is just that King Chuang and the Eight Great Kings converge, as long as he occupies Xiangyang, then he can connect the Kuizhou Mansion Shizhou Wei that has been occupied into a line, and then completely surround Shuzhong in his territory."

In other words, Yun Zhao occupied Xiangyang, firstly, to separate King Chuang from the Eight Great Kings, secondly, to protect Hanzhong, and thirdly, to facilitate his plot against Shuzhong and even Yungui.

Yun Zhao is ambitious, Sima Zhao's heart is well known, King Chuang will not let him succeed, his subordinates think that King Chuang should quickly resolve the grudge with the eight kings at this time, give up the pursuit of Luo Rucai, and work together to deal with Yun Zhao. ”

Li Hongji smiled bitterly and looked at Niu Jinxing and said: "It's not that we haven't fought with that wild boar, you ask Liu Zongmin, ask Hao Shaoqi, and then ask Li Jin when they took advantage of that time?"

If you can't beat it, you just can't beat it, do you think you can beat it if you unite Zhang Bingzhong?

The Lantian army is not a court army, the method we are used to is useless in front of the Lantian army, they don't want money, as long as they live, the generals are all members of the Yun clan, and the wild boar spirit gives an order, and he will not give up until he reaches his goal.

Over the years, if it weren't for the fact that the wild boar spirit has been targeting Jiannu, our life would have been even more difficult.

Grandma is a bear, this wild boar spirit has long regarded Da Ming as his meal, no wonder he would rather take people to the steppe to fight the Mongols and fight the Jiannu, but ignore us.

He fundamentally looks down on us, thinking that we are a bunch of rogues and mud legs.

Damn, when did the robbers start to divide into three, six, nine and so on?

He, the Yun Clan, has been a bandit for almost a thousand years, is he smarter than those of us who have only been bandits for more than ten years? ”

Song Xiance said on the side: "King Chuang should make a decision quickly, Yuan Zongdi is already sitting on pins and needles in Xiangyang, if we want to defend Xiangyang, send reinforcements as soon as possible, if we don't want to fight with Lantian, we will give up Xiangyang." ”

Li Hongji looked at Song Xiance and said, "Do you have to hear the sentence of giving up Xiangyang from my mouth?" ”

Niu Jinxing sighed and said, "Since King Chuang's mind has been decided, we will issue a document and order General Yuan to evacuate Xiangyang." ”

Seeing that Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance left, Li Hongji said to Liu Zongmin: "The territory is not of great use to us, and there is nothing worth nostalgia in Xiangyang." ”

Liu Zongmin said: "What King Chuang said is that people and horses are our lifeblood, as long as people and horses are still there, we will have territory." ”

Li Hongji said a little helplessly: "I'm afraid that wherever we occupy, Yun Zhao will pursue him, and at that time, our brother will become his pioneer." ”

Liu Zongmin said: "Everywhere we go, we loot on a large scale, leaving Yun Zhao with a blank land. We want money, we want people, we want land, as long as we have people, money, the world is big, where can we go! ”

Watching his subordinates leave one by one, Li Hongji couldn't help but sigh to himself: "I can't beat it, I really can't beat it......"

Strength is an eternal winning condition!

Whether it is Emperor Chongzhen or the thief Li Hongji, they all have a deep understanding of this thing.

Of course, Yun Zhao is the same, and he is also a senior strength theorist.

After ten years of development and ten years of growth, the accumulation of Lantian County is almost the highest in the world.

To the east, Gao Jie was fighting against Yue Tuo, the fierce general of Jianzhou, and in the vast grassland, the smoke of gunpowder was filled with arrows.

Every time the cannon sounds, a swarthy cannonball will fiercely burrow into the ranks of the Jianzhou people, shattering the tall wooden shield and sending up a wave of blood.

The bird's hand did not move like a mountain, and wisps of flame erupted from the barrel of the gun again and again, shooting the approaching Jianzhou infantry halfway.

The cavalry on both sides slowly moved closer to the main formation, and the war horses had already taken small steps and charged in front of them.

The shield array of the Jianzhou people was laid out again and again, and they were broken by artillery again and again, and they slowly retreated, although they suffered heavy casualties, they still had no disorder.

Gao Jie put away the binoculars and said to the herald beside him: "Flowering bullets, three consecutive shots, rapid fire." ”

As the flag waved, the muzzle of the cannon began to rise, and immediately, one after another, shells erupted from the running hole, flew high into the air with sparks, and crossed a high arc in mid-air, and then fell headlong.

At the same time, the cavalry led by Yunjuan put away their short guns, drew their long knives, and when the horses were speeding up, they shouted and pounced on the military formation of the Jianzhou people.

The cannonballs fell to the ground, bursting out countless black and red flowers, and once again ruthlessly blew up the complete military formation of the Jianzhou people.

Facing two cavalry forces like a long dragon, the desperate Jianzhou Gushan really shouted, brandished the horse chopping knife in his hand and fearlessly greeted the cavalry, behind him, those Jianzhou people who had just woken up from the explosion and gas waves, regardless of the formation, rushed down from the halfway slope with the weapons in their hands raised.

The brave Gushan Ejin was blown to the ground by a grenade, but even so, he still staggered to his feet, encouraged his subordinates, and continued to charge.

The explosion of the grenade made the war horse panic, and Yun Juan controlled the war horse, and continued to rush forward with a cruel smile.

The rain of arrows poured down like a torrential rain and landed in the cavalry, clanging on the armor helmets, and screaming as feathered arrows pierced through the weak points of the armor.

The horse hit by the arrow fell to the ground with a bang......

At this time, the war horse of the cloud scroll had already galloped up the mountain, and he did not stop, and continued to penetrate into the Jianzhou army formation.

The rain of arrows only had time to send out a rain of arrows, and at the moment when the feathered arrows had just risen into the air, the swarthy cannonballs fell on the group of archers wearing only leather armor, and the fragments of the shells that had been propped up by the gunpowder flew everywhere, easily penetrating the leather armor and bodies of these archers.

The cavalry was raging in the Jianzhou infantry army, but Yue Tuo didn't seem to care much about it, and until now, the most elite Jianzhou iron cavalry had not appeared.

Gao Jie took a look at his artillery position, and then, under the captain's mournful whistle, the birdmen slowly advanced with their muskets, and the connection with the artillery position was no longer so close.

The artillery is still constantly sending shells to the places where they are most needed, and as long as the people of Jianzhou who have already broken up there have a tendency to gather, the shells will fall there and scatter the men and horses that have just been assembled again.

The Jianzhou infantry finally couldn't resist the charge of the Yunjuan cavalry, and began to disperse, Yunjuan glanced back at the place where Gao Jie was, and saw that the handsome flag had not changed, and the flag representing the cavalry was still leaning forward.

He raised his long knife and pointed at the scattered Jianzhou foot soldiers and said, "Kill!" ”
