More than two years have passed in a flash. During these more than two years here, Zhou Chen and Nanchen Wangjun have not been idle. They have fought many times. Most of them were either large-scale wars or small rebellions. Naturally,
It cannot threaten Nanchen Wang's army.
In the past two years or so, Zhongzhou, the capital, has been relatively calm. Although Emperor Liu Hui is of average ability, he is a person who can listen to suggestions. Therefore, with Xie Chong assisting him, the situation in the court is relatively stable. The one who is more unstable is the Queen Mother.
Qi Zhenzhen.
Queen Mother Qi Zhenzhen was really a promiscuous harem. She kept countless male pets and lived in extravagance and lust all day long, causing a very bad atmosphere in the harem.
Any other emperor would never tolerate his mother's misbehavior, but Liu Hui was a soft-tempered person, and because he had placed Qi Zhenzhen under house arrest, he was full of guilt for his mother and allowed her to do whatever she wanted.
Zhou Chen is very clear about these messages, and they are all passed to him by Zhongzhou. The team of people he stayed in Zhongzhou often use special methods to send him messages, so they are not in Zhongzhou, but they are aware of many situations in Zhongzhou.
understand.
On this day, Zhou Chen and Xiao Yan were sitting together drinking. After more than two years, Xiao Yan had become Zhou Chen's regular drinking partner.
As the Little Nanchen King, although the Nanchen Royal Army and the royal palace are all his people, they all respect him, respect him, and love him. Very few people can sit and drink and chat with him without pressure, even if they are
Neither can the closest disciples such as Hong Xiaoyu and Zhou Tianxing.
Although he has always said that they are family, it still cannot change their respect for him from the bottom of their hearts, so it is difficult to completely let go of being with him.
Xiao Yan is different. He used to be the second prince of Southern Xiao, and now he is the Fengyang King of Beichen. He is also a monk. Therefore, he naturally does not feel inferior in front of Zhou Chen and can interact with Zhou Chen on an equal footing.
"Why are you so elegant today, Your Highness?"
Seeing that Zhou Chen was in a different mood today, Xiao Yan asked slightly puzzled.
At this time, Feng Qiao came over with food and food. After hearing his words, she explained with a smile: "Junior sister's filial piety period is over and she is ready to leave for Xizhou. Master has just received the letter."
Xiao Yan couldn't help but laugh, and looked at Zhou Chen teasingly: "It turns out that my beloved disciple is coming back, no wonder..."
Zhou Chen smiled but said nothing. He was indeed happy. After more than two years, he still really missed the girl he had taught for several years. Naturally, he was very happy to learn that she was coming back.
After Feng Qiao left, Xiao Yan spoke again: "When we met at Jialan Temple, the poor monk saw that His Highness was very protective of Miss Niao. Today, it is more and more proven that my judgment at that time was correct. His Highness loved Miss Niao.
It’s just different.”
Zhou Chen chuckled and said, "As soon as you become a monk, are you still so gossipy when it comes to relationship matters?"
Xiao Yan has been with Zhou Chen for so long, and is used to Zhou Chen often saying words and phrases that he has never heard of before, and he also understands what Zhou Chen refers to by gossip.
"The poor monk was also a prince at the time, and he also had a beautiful wife and concubine in the royal palace. Although he is married now, he still understands the feelings of men and women. What's more, His Highness himself has admitted that the relationship between you and Miss Niao is
Have feelings."
"Haha, you're trying to trick me. Love doesn't have to be between a man and a woman. It's also a relationship between relatives and friends."
"Do you believe what your Highness is saying now?"
Xiao Yan laughed a little, and then said: "I see that Miss Nao misses His Highness very much. She can't wait to return to Xizhou just after the filial piety period. Your Highness feels that she is so eager to come back."
, for whom?”
Zhou Chen didn't feel embarrassed at all because he was teased by Xiao Yan. Instead, he replied indifferently: "You are a monk. Don't you understand the principle of not telling the truth after seeing through it?"
Xiao Yan smiled happily: "I understand, of course I understand. I just didn't expect that the dignified King Xiao Nanchen would actually have a lovesick day. Miss Nao is so lucky, and so is His Highness."
"Stop talking nonsense and drink."
The two had a drink with each other.
Putting down the wine glass, Xiao Yan suddenly changed the topic: "Your Highness, don't blame the poor monk for talking too much. In order to reassure the royal family, you made such a poisonous oath. I'm afraid this will become an obstacle between you and Miss Niao. After all, Miss Niao is
The daughter of the Miao family, the most prominent family in Beichen."
Zhou Chen just smiled indifferently and had another drink with Xiao Yan: "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. I appreciate your kindness and concern."
"Listening to what His Highness said, I must have an idea in mind, but this poor monk is just worried."
A few days later, Zhou Chen was sitting in the commander's tent in the military camp outside the city, with Xiao Yan standing on his right.
Hong Xiaoyu and others escorted a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes, who looked quite embarrassed and had a look of unwillingness on his face, into the handsome tent.
"Master, we have been brought here."
Zhou Chen looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. This man was Liu Changshan, a member of the royal family who rebelled not long ago. Not long ago, his army was defeated by the Nanchen King's army, and he himself was captured.
"Liu Changshan, is there anything else you want to say?"
Only then did Liu Changshan raise his head with disdain on his face: "I am not wronged for losing to you, Prince Xiao Nanchen. I will give you my life."
Zhou Chen was really speechless. Just say that other princes and kings rebelled in Beichen Jiangshan. Even the Liu royal family themselves were rebelling constantly. The ability to centralize power was really poor. The emperor's
Except for the area of Zhongzhou, the order has almost no majesty when it reaches the place.
Zhou Chen didn't bother to talk to Liu Changshan, and waved his hand and asked Hong Xiaoyu to take him down.
"What is your Highness thinking?" Xiao Yan suddenly asked.
"It's nothing, I'm just sighing. It's really easy for people to get lost in power. Just like Liu Changshan, as a royal family, his life is already more luxurious and comfortable than most people in the world, but he is still not satisfied.
If you want more, you will never understand the truth of being content with what you have.”
"Your Highness's realm is not something that ordinary people can achieve. If everyone in the world is like His Highness, who knows how to be content with what he has, how can there be wars in the world again? Human desires are unlimited. Once you get something, you want more.
…”
Xiao Yan also started chatting with him on the topic of Zhou Chen. Both of them were at a higher level than ordinary people, so the conversation was quite in-depth.
"Your Highness, do you think that if the world can be unified, war can be avoided?"
"Unification? Let's not talk about whether the world can be unified. Even if it is unified, can the people live well? If it prospers, the people will suffer; if it dies, the people will suffer."
Xiao Yan put his palms in his hands and praised: "In prosperity, the people suffer; in death, the people suffer. Your Highness's words really put an end to the suffering of the people in the world, and the poor monk admires it."
"Compliments are unnecessary, I've just seen too many."
Yes, he has indeed seen too much. He has experienced several times in the ancient world alone. He has participated in hundreds of wars, and his men have already lost their heads.
But even though he has been emperor for decades, he has to admit that the people's lives are slightly better. In a truly peaceful and prosperous age, only the nobles, officials and gentry will die in dreams. The biggest benefit for the people may be that they don't have to worry.
By being exiled to the army, you can save your life in a stable and ordinary way and live a hard and ordinary life.
Although he is a time traveler and has lived for many years, to be honest, you can never expect one person to change the world, unless it is the kind of advanced world where one person can suppress the world.
It's not that he didn't make reforms during the years when he was emperor, but to be honest, it's not a big deal if you push the times forward a little bit, but if you push it too fast and take too big steps, you can only fail in the end.
He has experienced it himself, so he understands it better.
It is precisely because he has experienced so much that he has opened his eyes to the fact that the world is the same without anyone. He relies on the system to enjoy life, not to save the world. He is not a saint, and he does not have that kind of consciousness. Why should he let it go?
Why are you living so tiredly?
"Master, this is an urgent letter from Xizhou City."
Zhou Chen took the urgent letter from Hong Xiaoyu and opened it. It was a letter asking for help from the siege of Yongcheng. There were too many rebellions in Beichen, and all the vassal kings everywhere had nothing to do with them.
Hang up, so the Nanchen King's army alone can't quell the rebellion at all. We often receive such letters asking for help.
But this time it was different. He remembered that in the plot, Yongcheng was besieged. Yang Shao agreed to rescue Yongcheng, but he was besieged in Yongcheng. In the end, the third disciple Xie Yun was severely injured and fell.
Disability.
Now that he knows such a thing, he will naturally not let it happen.
"Xiao Yu, immediately order 10,000 cavalry and light vehicles to go into battle to rescue Yongcheng."
When Hong Xiaoyu heard this, he suddenly looked embarrassed: "Master, just bring 10,000 cavalry. Isn't it a little too little?"
Xiao Yan also advised: "Your Highness, what General Hong said is true. We don't even know the situation in Yongcheng very well now, so we shouldn't only bring such a small number of troops."
Zhou Chen said in a deep voice: "Soldiers are very fast, I'm worried that something unexpected will happen."
Xiao Yan was thoughtful and said: "Your Highness is worried about Miss Yang's motorcade? The poor monk remembered that Miss Yang had already set off from Qinghe County and would pass by Yongcheng on the way to Xizhou. Your Highness is worried about Miss Yang and the others.
Will we encounter rebels near Yongcheng?"
Zhou Chen glanced at him unexpectedly. This military advisor was indeed competent enough. He guessed his worries without saying anything.
"Part of it."
It is indeed one part, and the other part is naturally about Xie Yun.
"Xiaoyu, go order some troops."
Seeing that Zhou Chen had already made up his mind, Hong Xiaoyu said no more. She was indeed worried about the safety of her junior sister.
The 10,000 cavalry were quickly ordered together. Before setting off, Zhou Chen said to Xiao Yan: "Military advisor, Xiaoyu and I will lead 10,000 cavalry to Yongcheng for support first. You and Feng Qiao will lead the remaining troops to Yongcheng for support."
.”
Xiao Yan worriedly said: "Your Highness..."
"Don't worry about me. The mountains of corpses and seas of blood are coming. What can the mere rebels do to me? I'm sure of it."
After Zhou Chen finished his instructions, he and Hong Xiaoyu led 10,000 cavalry and set off quickly. The cavalry was fast. He didn't know what was going on in Yongcheng now. Did Shishiyi and the others enter Yongcheng, so they had to rush as quickly as possible.
go.
Yao Shiyi was more important to him than anyone else in the world. Whether it was about their feelings or the mission, Yao Shiyi could not afford to lose anything.
"Set off!"
The Nanchen King's army was well-trained and attacked with all their strength. When they arrived at Yongcheng, they happened to find that Yongcheng was fighting. Rebels were attacking the city. An army on the right wing was fighting with the rebels.
The flag he was holding was clearly the crow-blue royal flag of the Nanchen Royal Army.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Chen commanded the army without hesitation and charged towards the enemy's left flank.
The cavalry may not be able to attack the city, but the battlefield charge is absolutely invincible and unstoppable to the infantry, let alone the elite cavalry of the Nanchen King's army led by Zhou Chen.
"kill!"
Holding Fang Tian's painted halberd, Zhou Chen led the army and rushed away, just like cutting wheat, hacking away the rebels in front.
On the battlefield, Zhou Chen still prefers to use long weapons like Fang Tian Hua Ji. Coupled with his invincible strength, there is almost no enemy on the battlefield.
With enemy troops on both sides, the rebels soon blew the retreat horn and retreated in panic.
Seeing that the enemy troops were beginning to retreat, Zhou Chen only chased them for a while before asking someone to stop them. They were running all the way and were already exhausted, so it was not appropriate to pursue them at this time.
The general of Nanchen's royal army on the other side quickly came over and knelt down on one knee in front of Zhou Chen.
"Meet Your Highness."
"General Gan, please rise."
After General Gan got up, he immediately reported to Zhou Chen, saying that when he was on his way back, he heard that Yongcheng was besieged, so he brought troops to support him, and also said that he met Jian Shiyi's convoy on the way.
Zhou Chen was relieved when he heard that Shi Shiyi hadn't come yet. It seemed that he had made it in time because of his speed. Since neither Shi Shiyi nor Xie Yun came, the tragedy could have been prevented with his own hands.
After a while, the soldiers in charge of the reconnaissance came back and reported that the rebels had retreated ten miles away and were camping on the spot.
Zhou Chen didn't say anything, he just directed everyone to enter the city. The governor of Yongcheng had already died in the city, so he came to take over Yongcheng's defense without any resistance.
Half a day later, Zhou Chen was patrolling the city wall when he suddenly saw a group of people approaching the city wall quickly.
"Master, this is the Miao family's motorcade. It should be that the junior sister is here. I will go over to greet them."
Hong Xiaoyu was also very excited when he saw the Yang family's army. He reported it to Zhou Chen. After getting Zhou Chen's permission, he immediately went out of the city to greet them.
After a while, Hong Xiaoyu brought Jian Shiyi and others to the city wall to meet him.
It has been more than two years since the last farewell to Zhongzhou. When I saw Yao Shiyi again, she had become more mature. The age of eighteen or nineteen is the most beautiful moment for a woman. Although Yao Shiyi is busy with life, she is still difficult.
Cover up her unique temperament and grace.
"Master."
When Jian Shiyi saw Zhou Chen again, he was also extremely excited and happy. Originally, he just wanted to bring people here to relieve the difficulties in Yongcheng. He didn't expect to meet the master here. It was really an unexpected surprise. She was not prepared to meet him.
Getting ready.
Zhou Chen showed a gentle smile and said softly: "Eleven, you have grown up."
When I first met Miao Shiyi, she was just over thirteen years old. Now she is nineteen. Almost all girls at this age are already married. A noble girl like her is not married at this age.
It's really very rare.
Just as Jian Shiyi was about to say something, Yang Shao beside him suddenly knelt down to Zhou Chen.
"General Yang Shao, I would like to thank His Highness for the rescue."
"Are you Yang Shao?"
When Zhou Chen saw this person, he couldn't help but take a second look. This Yang Shao can be said to be the final winner in the plot. He is brave, strategic, ruthless, but also affectionate and righteous, and has extraordinary abilities.
All in all, he is a capable and ambitious person.
