At this time, only the God of War and Emperor Hongdao were left in Hanyuan Hall. The God of War looked at Emperor Hongdao and said, "I watched you grow up and ascend the throne, but what have you done in these years? If you If you could spend less time on women, would this country be better than it is now? Hide that woman in your harem well. If someone sees it, where will your emperor's face be? If it spreads to Zhujian Mountain, , how do you want Zhang Yajiu to see you..."
Emperor Hongdao lowered his head and said nothing. After the military god scolded a few words, he shook his head and sighed: "Seeing that the end is coming, I can still help take care of the Chen family for a few years, so you can take care of yourself!"
The Military God walked out of Hanyuan Hall, looked at the clouds gathering and dispersing on the horizon, and sighed in his heart.
The God of War felt that something was wrong with Tie Molele's large-scale march south this time. After all, he had not yet fallen. There were still 200,000 elites in the Great Qian Dynasty, and Tie Molei had no chance of winning. He launched a war with no chance of winning. , What exactly can Tie Moller get? This question has always troubled the God of War.
Emperor Hongdao looked at the tall mountain-like figure outside Hanyuan Hall, his brows almost knitted together. Emperor Hongdao was very concerned about the words of the God of War, "The end is coming!". The Great Qian Dynasty could still belong to the Chen family, because the God of War was. The old man is like an insurmountable mountain, protecting his Chen family from wind and rain, but once this mountain falls, how can Da Gan still be the Da Gan of his Chen family?
Although Emperor Hongdao was a womanizer, he still cared more about Daqian's empire, because women could be replaced at any time, but Dagan's empire could not be replaced. Emperor Hongdao's arrangements over the years were all based on the life of the military god. If God falls, all his plans will be in vain...
At the Juxian Tower in Xunyang County, Zheng Tianqi read the order, looked at the few captains present and said: "Tie Mo Le marched south in a big way. The military god, the old man, personally took command and went to war, and ordered all counties to send troops to assemble in Taiyuan County. The national crisis is approaching, and everyone has You are a brave man in the army, who is willing to go with me to defend our country?"
The military gods all took command and went into battle. It was obvious that Tie Molele was not joking this time. Many people would die in such a big battle. Several captains could not help but lower their heads. They were government soldiers and could suppress bandits. They didn't have the courage to go to the battlefield and risk their lives, so they all kept silent, even for fear of being called out by Zheng Tianqi.
Zheng Tianqi looked a little disappointed when he looked at the captains who did not dare to speak. A soldier must always be ready to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. If there is a war, he would be a coward. Besides, what a great opportunity this time, with the God of War personally taking command. As long as I have the ability, I'm afraid I won't be able to get promoted to an official position.
Everyone has different ideas. He, Zheng Tianqi, has been waiting for an opportunity for several years, but the captains here just want to eat and die.
At this moment, Nangong Yu stood up and said, "I am willing to go to war with you."
Nangong Yu knew in his heart that once he followed Zheng Tianqi and went north to fight against Tie MoLe, he would definitely have a narrow escape from death, but he needed this opportunity because it was the only chance for the Xunyang Nangong family to stand up. Only he, Nangong Yu, had made contributions in this battle, and his Nangong family Only then can he make a name for himself in Xunyang County, and only then can Nangong Yu have the dignity to return to his master's family to recognize his relatives and gain his master's approval.
Zheng Tianqi smiled and said: "Colonel Nangong is indeed courageous! Nangong Yu listened to the order and prepared the army for war today, and will go north on time tomorrow at 10:00!"
Mr. Du stood up hurriedly and said: "My grandfather was also a lieutenant colonel in the army. At that time, he had several fights with the Temole people who were working in the grass valley. The old man's left arm was cut off by the Temole people, so I Who are you willing to pursue, go north, and kill Tie Molec without leaving any trace behind?"
Boss Du in Xunyangjiang was good with an iron spear, and Zheng Tianqi had also heard about it. Seeing that Boss Du was interested in joining the army, he smiled and nodded in agreement.
Upon seeing this, Tieniu also had the idea of going north to fight against Tie Moller, so he stood up and said, "Tieniu also wants to go into battle to kill the enemy and protect his family and country!"
Before Zheng Tianqi could speak, Li Taiping hurriedly stood up and pushed Tieniu back to his seat, and said with a straight face: "After learning two or three moves of the three-legged cat, I want to go into battle to kill the enemy. Your Tieniu's head is really strong! Here.
It's over now, please go home and take care of me."
After being scolded by Li Taiping, Tieniu sat there breathing heavily without making a sound. Li Taiping shook his head when he saw this, and suddenly asked Zheng Tianqi: "Tie Mo Le Chen Bing Yanmen Pass, I wonder if there is any news from Mayi County
?”
Zheng Tianqi shook his head and said: "It was not mentioned in the letter. I don't know what the fighting is like outside Yanmen Pass. However, Mayi County is a place where Tiemo Le's army must pass through. I'm afraid..."
Seeing Li Taiping frowning and saying nothing, Zheng Tianqi couldn't help but asked curiously: "Does Taiping have friends or relatives in Mayi County?"
Nangong Yu said: "My master's cousin Nangong Shou is serving as a governor in Mayi County. Taiping and my cousin Nangong Shou are brothers with different surnames..."
Zheng Tianqi glanced at Li Taiping a few times, thinking that it was no wonder that this boy was so confident, as he had a close relationship with the Nangong family of Jinan County.
Zheng Tianqi couldn't help but comforted him: "Ji people have their own destiny, so you two don't need to be too anxious! If Taiping is worried, why not go north with me, so that we can take care of each other on the way!"
Li Taiping was very worried about Nangong Shou's safety. In Li Taiping's eyes, Nangong Shou was an upright man and would never leave the thousands of people in Mayi County and escape alone. Therefore, Li Taiping wanted to go to Mayi County to see Nangong Shou without seeing Nangong Shou.
You won't feel at ease if you keep him.
There is no airtight wall in this world, and news of Tie Molle's large-scale invasion spread throughout the Daqian Dynasty. When the people of Xunyang County heard that the soldiers were going north to fight against the aliens, they all spontaneously took out the few rations they had at home.
Sent to the Fubing camp...
For a time, the front of the government barracks was filled with poor people from around Xunyang County, and there were also some half-grown men clamoring to join the army and follow the government troops north to fight against the foreigners.
Zheng Tianqi looked at the scene in front of him and sighed in his heart, "Poor families know that the national crisis is at stake and they have to spend money to contribute, but those wealthy families are so scared that they close their doors to thank customers and dare not show their faces!"
Zheng Tianqi turned around and looked at the soldiers and said: "Go to the Guan family in Guangdong and find my father-in-law. Tell me, Zheng Tianqi, that he can prepare thousands of stones of food and grass and send them to the military camp with gongs and drums!"
Asking the Guan family to provide food, and beating gongs and drums, Zheng Tianqi wanted to tell those wealthy families that my father-in-law has already sent food, and if you don't wait until I come back, you will not be able to reap the benefits.
In the small riverside town, Tieniu didn't go boating. Instead, he squatted in his yard depressedly, wiping the White Ape Knife there and muttering in his mouth.
"What is the purpose of learning the sword? You can neither go into battle to kill the enemy, nor can you act chivalrously..."
Li Taiping came to Tieniu's side, looked at the honest man and couldn't help but said: "When doing things, you have to do things according to your ability. You can't accomplish things just by being passionate! Your mother only has a son like you. What will happen to your mother if you leave?"
What to do? Besides, the county’s recruitment process is clearly written, and the only son in the family will not be recruited.”
Tieniu still looked listless, but he closed his mouth and stopped mumbling.
Li Taiping patted Tieniu on the shoulder and said: "Practice your sword well, and it will be up to you whether you serve the country or act chivalrously in the future! But the most important thing now is to continue the boat-running business so that I can support my wife at home."
If you can't even take care of me in your old age, how can you talk about anything else?"
Tieniu was honest but knew that Li Taiping was doing it for his own good, so he couldn't help but nodded, got up and walked out...
Li Taiping saw this and said hurriedly: "Why are you going?"
"Run the boat!"
Li Taiping looked at the sun that was about to set, and said with a smile: "I want you to make a good living at running boats, but I don't want you to go now. It's almost sunset, and there is no way to make a living!"
Seeing Tieniu looking at the sky and walking out again, Li Taiping wondered: "You still want to run a boat?"
Tieniu turned around with a naive smile and said, "I won't go on the boat anymore. I'll go to the river to get a big fish and stew it tonight!"
After getting along for several months, Tieniu, a man who valued friendship, knew that Li Taiping would go north with the soldiers tomorrow. When we said goodbye tomorrow, he didn't know when or what day he would meet again, so he wanted to get a big herring, Li Taiping's favorite food, to make it.
The most authentic Xunyang fish fillet.
Tieniu Lao Niu’s Xunyang fish fillet is not only loved by Li Taiping, but even Nangong Yu praised it as “The best fish fillet in Xunyang!” after eating it once.
Tieniu was a honest and kind man, and he never regarded Li Taiping as an outsider, just like a family member. The few months he spent at Tieniu's house were the most stable and happiest period for Li Taiping in recent years.
After the meal, the old man took out a pair of black leather shoes that he had sewn by himself and thrust them into Li Taiping's hands with a smile: "Try it on and see if it fits your feet?"
This pair of black leather shoes was carefully sewn by the old man for a month. They were made of high-quality cowhide. After Li Taiping put them on, they were soft and comfortable, and they fit perfectly. Apparently, the old man had secretly measured them.
Li Taiping's eyes were red, and he held the old man's hand and didn't know what to say to express his gratitude.
Seeing this, Tieniu couldn't help but smile and said: "My mother has never made shoes for others. If you remember my kindness, come back and have a look when you have time. If you don't have time, you can ask someone to send a letter to say that you are safe!"
Seeing Li Taiping nodding in agreement, the old man smiled and said: "I'm a big boss now. I must bring my wife with me next time I come here, so that I can try the Xunyang fish fillet I made!"
It was late at night, and most of the people in Xunyang County were asleep, but the lights in the Guan family were still bright, because the good son-in-law of the Guan family was going to lead the army north.
Zheng Tianqi is the Guan family's supporter. If something happens to him, the Guan family's life may become worse day by day. Mr. Guan was reluctant to take out a stack of banknotes and stuff them into his son-in-law's hands.
"I know Tianqi has great ambitions, but he has to put his own safety first! Take this banknote and manage it carefully. We won't do anything if it's too dangerous. Coming back alive is better than anything else!"
Zheng Tianqi was very unhappy with what the Guan family had done. He had never talked to the old man over the years because of his face. Today was different. He had to say a few words. He saw him taking the banknote and putting it in his arms. At the same time,
He said: "Master Yue Zhang, Tian Qi will not know whether he will live or die this time. From now on, the Guan family should keep a low profile in their work. Just give it up if you can benefit from it. Don't let others pick on our family. I will also say hello to the county magistrate and try to take care of me.
In our family, if there is no serious matter, please don’t bother the Sheriff…”
After listening to Zheng Tianqi's words, Mr. Guan felt bad. These instructions were not the same as his last words. Especially his daughter's demeanor, Mr. Guan wanted to keep Zheng Tianqi. After all, he didn't have to be the governor.
To lead troops, one captain can lead five hundred soldiers.
