Chapter 44: A young couple in troubled times

Time flies.

Five years have passed by in a blink of an eye.

In the past five years, the entire Anping continent has undergone tremendous changes. It is not an exaggeration to say that the dragon and the snake have risen from the land, and the world has been turned upside down.

First of all, the demon tide ravaged the Zichen Mountain five years ago, which directly caused the Great Yan to collapse and lose its strength. The national power suddenly retreated to the end of the Seven Kingdoms, and the government could not

Baoxi almost exists in name only.

If it weren't for Qin's grand strategic considerations, it would be easy to destroy Yan instantly.

Even so, the Yan Kingdom's thousands of miles of frontiers have almost completely turned into Da Qin's racecourse, and its destruction seems to be only a matter of time.

On the verge of national subjugation, all the nobles of the Yan Kingdom finally showed an unprecedented state of unity, abandoning all past grievances and working together for the rise and fall of the country.

It's a pity that they woke up too late, and Dayan was already too weak to recover!

The root cause is still the battle at Zichen Mountain, in which all high-level military and ANBU masters were lost in this battle.

There are no generals to defend the country inside and no soldiers to use outside.

No matter how hard we try to give up internal friction and work together, it will be in vain.

The third prince, Shu Mo, roared in grief and anger in the court hall.

"Everyone is united, so what?"

"When the Yan Kingdom was prosperous, you fought for power and profit, fought against each other, continued internal strife, and the national power was declining. Now that the country is about to be destroyed, what's the point of working hard to govern it? What's the use of trying to repair the sheepfold when all the sheep are gone?"

"Who can show the loyalty of the country's loyal ministers and filial piety? What can it do to help?"

"What were you doing so early?"

"You have to wait until the country is about to perish before you even think about protecting the country? In the final analysis, it's just a matter of fear that your skin will disappear and your hair will be gone."

All the ministers of the Yan State were filled with shame.

Nowadays, Dayan is truly at the end of its rope. It really can't even maintain its success and settle down in a corner.

After Bai Yiwen was poisoned and seriously injured, he has been recuperating at home. Now that the country is in crisis, even though he is unable to do anything, he still chooses to step forward and establish a Yiwentang to support the situation. With the support of Miao Sensen, he tries his best to win over the original Da Yanfei.

Wing old department.

But unfortunately... almost all the senior officials of Feiyi were killed in the battle of Zichen Mountain, and not a single one of them survived.

This also leads to an extremely sad fact: among all the flying wing masters who have survived and come back, let alone cloud masters, there are only a few who are even at the heaven level!

The two people with the highest cultivation level in Yiwentang are only at the second level of heaven level!

I really want to do something but can't do anything.

Bai Yiwen was also decisive. After passing the order and sticking to it, he also suggested developing a diplomatic strategy. Based on the principle of argument, he would lobby and mobilize all countries.

Under Bai Yiwen's persuasion, he took the position of younger brother, and at the same time, he was closely related to Chu, Qi, and the Three Kingdoms Alliance and worked together.

As a result of doing this, they successfully borrowed soldiers from Qi and Zhao to protect the Yan border. Although they had to pay for renting a large amount of city land and even people, wealth, and even if they drank poison to quench their thirst, they still had to ensure that the Yan state could survive.

Facts have proved that Yan's strategy of "preferring to its friends rather than violence against Qin" was quite effective, and it really stabilized the situation in Yan.

After the overall situation of the Yan State gradually stabilized, it contacted Zhao and Han again and presented a letter of alliance, stating that as long as the other party was willing to jointly conquer Qin, after the success, we, the Yan State, would not take a penny from the land of Qin, but would instead give three pieces of Yan State's border land.

Thousands of miles.

All of this shows that Yan is trying hard to survive at all costs.

The above are all the consensus reached by Bai Yiwen and Wen Wenmo after discussion.

These two people, who had always disliked each other, finally began to cooperate sincerely at the critical moment of the country's survival.

Both of them knew clearly: Yan State's national power seems to be the weakest now. Any country such as Qin and Chu can easily destroy Yan State, but Qin State will never sit back and watch Yan State's destruction. Not only will he himself not take action to avoid causing public anger.

At the same time, it will also prevent other countries from taking the opportunity to annex Yan State.

Therefore, Yan's weakness has become a protective color.

But in order to win over the weak, he traveled around the countries and pursued the family tradition.

Survival is by no means a long-term solution.

Once other countries are weakened, the Yan State will inevitably become the first target of the Qin State and be destroyed overnight.

For the present, or the only way for Yan State to achieve self-protection at present, is to completely trigger chaos in the world during this period of time.

And this is clear to all countries.

I believe that all other countries are also aware of one thing: Yan State cannot be destroyed! - It’s not that it cannot be destroyed, it must not be destroyed by surrender!

It doesn't matter if the Yan State is defeated and subjugated. However, if the other countries do not cooperate, if the Yan State cannot see any hope and really makes up its mind to surrender to the Qin State...

That's what's really bad.

Therefore, even though they clearly know that Yan's actions are to prevent the world from being chaotic, and even to stir up troubles, the other countries can only cooperate first. Under the premise of this grand strategy, the countries are actually still benefiting, so why bother?

Rather than.

——What I said above is all a conspiracy.

As a result, the world suddenly fell into chaos.

Qi, Chu, Zhao, Han, and Wei all moved together, and their troops were directed towards Qin.

In the same year, Wu Tiejun, Fei Xinyu, and Ma Qiange divided their troops into three groups to fight against Da Qi, and the war broke out.

And just when Qi gradually couldn't resist and was retreating steadily, Zhao sent troops.

The cavalry of the Great Zhao Dynasty faced off against the military god of the Fei family of the Great Qin Dynasty.

In this battle, the two invincible commanders of Zhao State, Lian Mu and Li Po, attacked hand in hand. One was steady and the other was cunning, and they suppressed Qin's main army.

Even as time continued, under attack from both sides, the Fei Department gradually became unable to resist.

Fortunately, Ma arrived at Chengxingye and rushed to the rescue, leading an army to confront Lian Mu, and Fei's troops were relieved.

As Chu, South Korea, and Wei sent troops, war broke out on the Qin border areas, and wars broke out in all directions.

As soon as the war broke out among the various countries, the whole world fell into chaos in an instant.

The turning point of this chaotic war was when Wu Tiejun led a large army and miraculously appeared on the front line of Chu State.

Wu Tiejun's army rushed to the rescue. The moment it appeared, it rushed into the Chu army's formation from the side like divine soldiers descending from the sky.

The moment the two sides were about to come into contact, the ferocious beast roared suddenly.

Following this roar, the cavalrymen in the front of Chu State all panicked when they heard it, and their formations instantly fell into chaos.

With the emergence of this variation, from point to line, from line to surface, the Chu army was completely defeated.

Wu Tie's army, on the other hand, clung to Chu's defeated troops, pursued them one after another, and took advantage of the momentum to break through the sky in one fell swoop!

This officially declares that Chu's strongest line of defense has been broken and no longer exists!

From then on, Chu State no longer had any natural barriers, and all the fertile land behind the sky was under the iron heel of the Qin army!

...

The state of Yan was in decline, and its intentions were weak.

Qi was also crippled.

The border gates of Chu State were also opened.

South Korea, which was geographically relatively remote, was beyond the reach of the Qin State and remained in confrontation.

Also in a state of confrontation are Wei and Zhao.

However, the world situation has quietly changed.

In the second year, Ma Qiange led his army out of the northwest and defeated the Korean army on the side of Hanshui.

In the same year, Fei Xinyu concentrated on fighting against the enemy's Integrity and Animal Husbandry Department, and was able to use his sharp tongue. After a scolding battle, the angry old general's old injury relapsed, and his military morale was shaken.

The top leaders of Zhao State had no choice but to send a new general Zhao Yikuo to take over the command.

It is said that Zhao Yikuo is a new generation general of the Zhao State. He is said to be a rare military master in the Zhao State in thirty years. He is also the author of the book "The Theory of Soldiers". It is widely said that he uses troops like a god and is the future leader of the Zhao State.

The choice of soldiers to succeed the veteran general Lian Mu at this time is logical. If he can unite his troops to defeat the Qin Lion at this moment, it will rewrite the ranking of military strategists in Anping Continent.

It's a pity that this Zhao family has too high self-esteem and no one to spare. He only knows himself but not others. He is blindly confident and thinks that his military skills are unparalleled. However, three generals of the Qin army set up a series of traps.

Fei Xinyu led the elite and implemented penetration tactics, which caused the war situation to take a turn for the worse.

Yes.

The Qin Dynasty's 15,000 elite troops penetrated the Chu army, but only three thousand survived in the end, which is not a tragedy.

But this extreme tactic became the key point and turning point to break up the stalemate.

Ma Daogong, Fei Pingjiang then joined forces to attack, and finally Ma Daogong, who had been ignored for a long time, broke through in the middle.

Zhao Yikuo, who was besieged from all sides, could no longer hold on, and his 400,000-strong army was completely defeated.

Zhao's other army, Li Po, naturally planned to come to the rescue, reverse the situation of the battle, and at least gather the defeated army, but Wu Tiejun relied on the terrain to restrain him and did not dare to make rash moves.

By the time Li Po broke through Wu Tiejun's blockade, marched around the mountain, and finally arrived at the battlefield, the forty-strong army had been nearly wiped out.

Li Po stabilized his position, tried his best to collect the defeated troops, and slowly retreated.

The Qin army did not catch up and tried to expand the victory.

No one dared to look down upon General Zhao Guoli, who was regarded as a famous commander throughout the ages.

Even though the Qin army had gathered millions of troops and Li Po had only 300,000 troops on the opposite side, he still did not dare to move rashly.

Once the opponent seizes the opportunity, even a million-strong army and a huge advantage will be of no avail.

At this point, the war between the various countries has once again fallen into a new round of confrontation and various confrontations.

The next year, Ma Qiange started the war again and launched an attack on a snowy night. In the middle of the battle, Wu Tiejun repeated his old trick, suddenly attracting surprise troops to stand out and kill the enemy's formation.

The ferocious beast displays its power, as if it is an incomprehensible move.

The Qin soldiers and horses took the initiative and waited for Qin general Bai Fu to lead the ambush troops into the battle, completely establishing victory.

One night, all 600,000 Korean elites turned into smoke.

The three generals divided their troops into three groups and conquered thirty-six cities in Korea in ten days!

Fei Xinyu, who was changing his defense, brought his troops into the Zhao territory. He lost a series of battles and retreated all the way. Li Po was not immune to his tactics of luring troops and used defense as an offense, so Fei Xinyu returned without success.

Just as the Qi army was about to move, they were suppressed by Ma Chengti's troops, and they took advantage of the situation and entered Qi territory again.

By the second half of the year, only Zhao and Wei could still maintain a state of confrontation with Qin.

The other four countries are all half disabled and their national power is declining.

At the end of the third year, the king of Yan sent his younger brother Wang Shumo to the Qin State to discuss surrender.

Shu Mo took the envoy Jing Zhu, wrapped the magic weapon with a picture, and went to the main hall to present the picture.

Jing Zhu suddenly drew his sword and assassinated Emperor Qin.

However, he missed a single hit and was immediately killed by Qin Ge in the main hall.

Wen Wenmo was convicted and confessed.

"For the sake of the world... I will not kill you; for the sake of the Yan country, I will kill you. But I am from Yan."

Wen Wenmo smiled calmly.

Emperor Qin was indifferent and ordered him to be killed.

Shu Mo laughed crazily and sang, and before his death he recited a poem.

"Being born in the royal family is not what I asked for, wandering around the world with a flute and a sword; I have been wandering for half my life without a master, and I have wasted my whole life with no regrets; I don't want to be a high-ranking official, I don't love the glory and love freedom; Singing and dancing lead to peace and ambition, and mountains and rivers collapse in a battle

Hugh; the tragic song was played only last night, I will go to Jiuyou calmly today; I have two major regrets in my life, I am ashamed to be gentle to a beautiful woman."

Secretary Mo laughed loudly and said to Emperor Qin: "When Your Majesty rules the world, can you send someone to burn a stick of incense to let you know?"

Emperor Qin said calmly: "The assassin has been executed. You are the prince of Yan, so you might as well die if you don't hurry."

Wen Wenmo laughed loudly: "I have not had any great ambitions since I was a child. I just want to love the mountains and rivers and indulge in the world. However, in life, nine out of ten things will go wrong. This year, I still have to shoulder this burden. However, this burden is too heavy...

"

"I don't want to carry it anymore."

Wen Wenmo smiled calmly: "Today is what it is today, so be it. I have been here in this world of mortals, so I have my own reasons for it. It's one thing that I can't bear it, but so what if I keep escaping. Even if I evade for half my life,

We have to face it in the end, but I am used to being lazy, so I plan to end it by escaping. Hahaha..."

"The grudge has been settled

The kindness has not been repaid, and there are so few causes and effects in this life. It is still impossible to avoid responsibility in this life."

"It's useless."

Wen Wenmo laughed at himself, calmly raised his sword and killed himself.

"Preserve the body and send it back to Dayan. Send a letter to reprimand and order compensation!"

Emperor Qin sighed and still ordered coldly.

The death of Wen Wenmo was like a signal, opening the door to a new era.

The pace of Qin's unification of the world accelerated the pace of conquests in the east and west, and wars raged in all directions.

In addition to the fear and hatred in the hearts of all the countries, the hatred of the same enemy suddenly grew, and they entangled the remaining forces of the six countries to fight against the Qin Dynasty decisively.

Although the war situation of the six countries is unfavorable and their national strength is also declining, the combined efforts of the six countries and the comprehensive foundation of the six countries cannot be shaken by ordinary forces.

However, after so many years of preparations and the grand strategy of Jiji Yingying, the Qin Dynasty has now reached the point where the water is overflowing, the national treasury is sufficient, and the money is piled up like a mountain.

Among them, Yuezhou became a major export destination because of the last donation from the miracle doctor, which was said to include an astronomical amount of wealth compensated by the Snake Emperor, and due to its unique geographical location.

The armies are constantly marching out to conquer the six countries!

The mood of the Qin people's army and people is high. The words "unify the world" are an extremely strong sense of pride even for ordinary Qin people.

Even in the face of the combined efforts of the six countries, the situation was still slowly tilting towards the Qin people.

It seems to be unstoppable.

And in a remote village on the outskirts of Yuezhou City.

It seems that there has been such a young couple since a long time ago, quietly disappearing into the sea of ​​​​people, without even the slightest breeze.

The boy's name is Meng Fang, and the girl's name is Yu Rou. They are both ordinary names.

The couple, who are ordinary-looking, are engaged in farming and weaving, guarding a few acres of thin fields, working at sunrise and resting at sunset.

Although there is nothing sweet to speak of, let alone wealth to speak of, ordinary days are filled with warmth.

In such troubled times, he lives his own small life cautiously, without fighting against the world, and does not attract attention at all.

Both of them are calm people. They are taciturn and very honest on weekdays. Even if they encounter disputes, they will just brush them off with their heads down.

I don't look for trouble, and I prefer that trouble not come to me.

It can be said that it is the simplest and most ordinary mode of survival with the door closed and facing the sky.

A house like this naturally has no ambition to become wealthy or wealthy. Although it is ordinary and poor, it is a place of peace and happiness in poverty.

There is nothing about the men that attracts attention, and there is nothing about the women that is beautiful enough to attract people's covetous attention.

If nothing unexpected happens, this young couple will probably spend their lives peacefully without any sense of existence.

But surprises always happen.

On this day, Yurou fell ill.

Wind-cold, fever persists.

For such a disease, ordinary farmers would never think of seeking medical advice and would just be cured after a few days!

But Yurou's high fever was so severe that she didn't get better for several days.

Mongolia had to go out to get medicine. When he came back, he unexpectedly found the abandoned and dilapidated house next door. I don't know when there was a new family.

An old, lonely old man.

But this change is nothing, and he is not in the mood to care about it now.

He didn't notice that the old man was looking at his back with jealousy.

"Xiaorou, take your medicine."

Meng Fang entered the room carrying medicine.

Yurou managed to hold herself up, her face turned sallow, and she had lost her usual healthy luster. She coughed a few times, drank the medicine slowly, and said, "There was the sound of wood chopping next door, someone just moved in, right?"

"Yes, he is an old man. He looks like he is sixty or seventy years old. His body is quite strong."

"This old man... he was chopping firewood and cursing at the same time. He was cursing so unpleasantly... It was as if everyone had a grudge against him."

Yurou said worriedly: "I feel so fierce, I'm afraid it's not good

touch."

Meng Fang said: "We won't provoke him, what will happen? Everyone can live their own lives."

"I hope so."

Yurou sighed.

Ordinary people like them are most afraid of changes beyond their own capabilities and...strangers.

As soon as he finished speaking, something unexpected happened.

The two heard a knock on the door. When they opened the door, they found that it was the old neighbor standing at the door: "We don't have rice at home for dinner tonight. Can I borrow some rice?"

Meng Fang was stunned and said: "Okay."

So I went to my grain bag and scooped out half a spoonful of coarse rice.

The old man said: "Is there any oil? I'll borrow some as well and I'll pay it back someday."

"There's really not much left of this."

The Mongolian side said apologetically: "How about I give you Lao Yun a meal first in case of emergency?"

The old man seemed a little dissatisfied with Meng Fang's evasion, and asked again: "Then, is there any meat?"

Meng Fang was stunned: "This is real wood."

The old man curled his lips and said coldly: "Poor guy."

After saying that, he took the rice and oil and turned around.

Meng Fang couldn't help but became angry: "Who is this!"

I went back to my room feeling angry and angry.

However, when talking about this matter to his wife, Yurou's eyebrows showed a hint of worry.

She had a vague feeling that the peaceful days she was having now might not last much longer.

In a few days, it was time to pay for the food.

Mongolia was cleaning up at home when he suddenly heard two officials coming to the door and saying: "Routine inspection."

"examine?"

Meng Fang was stunned.

"Someone reported that you were hiding weapons and had evil intentions.

The gentleman said: "Please cooperate with the inspection."

"I have a secret cache of weapons?"

Meng Fang was horrified: "You are wronged, sir. I am a good citizen. How dare you do such an evil thing?"

"Whether it is unfair or not, there are facts to support it."

The gentleman couldn't help but enter the house. After a long search, he found a bow under the firewood stack.

Although the bow appears to be decayed, it can still be opened and is obviously still usable.

"What's this?"

The gentleman asked sternly.

"Sir, this is not mine, someone framed me!" Meng Fang was stunned.

"Hiding weapons secretly violates the law, take them away!"

The gentleman waved his hand.

Yurou supported the sick body and rushed out of the room: "Your Excellency, my husband is really wronged. This is not my family's thing."

"Whether it's unjust or not, it doesn't matter what you say, it's up to the court to decide."

The two men ignored Yurou's arguments and took Meng Fang away by force.

Not to mention that Yurou's high fever has not subsided and she is extremely weak. She is as healthy as usual, but she seems to be able to withstand such a wolf-like man.

Two days later, the verdict was handed down.

The Mongolian side was guilty of concealing ordnance, but he had always been kind and had never committed any crime as a woman. He was sentenced to join the army in the Western Frontier and set off with the food team three days later.

In other words, the Mongolian side recruited them into the army.

And for Yurou, who was struggling to support her illness, this news was like a bolt from the blue?!

That night, Mongolian was released and went home to pack his luggage and cry with his wife.

I don't know if I can come back alive from this trip.

It's very possible that once you leave, you'll never see him again.

"It's a pity that we don't have children yet..."

Yurou was particularly sad.

"I will definitely come back." Meng Fang said: "My lord, frankly speaking, just because it is wartime, the management of weapons is stricter. If it were a normal day, collecting bows and arrows in private would not be considered a crime; even now, joining the army can offset the problem.

.When you get to the front line, if you can make meritorious deeds, there is still hope of promotion. Or at that time, if I make meritorious deeds and make my wife my wife, you will be the wife of the general."

"I don't want to be the general's wife, I just want you to live,

Stay home with me."

"..." Meng Fang was speechless.

Why doesn't he want to be safe at home?

But things have reached the point where it is impossible to stay any longer.

It's just that he can't figure out who is setting him up?

I have always been kind to others and never offended anyone.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind.

"It couldn't have been done by the old man next door, right?"

"But why can't it be possible? He came to borrow food and oil. He should have kept my benefits in mind. Why did he then frame me?"

Mongolia couldn't figure it out, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure it out.

In the next three days, Meng Fang did all the work at home without hesitation. He filled the big vats at home with water, hoed the fields, watered them, and carefully planted the vegetable fields.

Sort it out.

Another whole woodshed's worth of firewood was chopped and piled in a big pile in the corner of the yard.

Find out all the loose money in the house and give it to your wife.

"wait me back!"

"If you don't go, you won't go. If you go, you have to work hard. You want to be a general!"

"wait for me!"

next door.

The old man looked at the neighbor viciously, with pleasure on his lips.

"Old Mo, why did you frame them?"

"You also need someone to join the army. If you give this quota to Mongolia, won't your own children not have to go?"

"That's true, but I still can't figure out why you did this, Lao Mo."

"I have been alone all my life, and have been lonely and lonely until I am old. How come this fool can keep his wife and children warm?"

Lao Mo said harshly: "I feel uncomfortable if we don't break them up. Not to mention that we are still neighbors. Seeing them loving each other every day makes me uncomfortable and annoying!"

"Old Mo, you are really not a good person!"

"Each other."

Li Zheng sighed and left.

Although what he did was motivated by selfishness, he still felt a little guilty when he saw with his own eyes that Mongolia joined the army and his life and death were uncertain.

But for Lao Mo, whose whole family was said to have died in the rebellion, I felt more fearful.

This is obviously the typical kind of person who doesn't like other people's kindness.

I have no enmity with you, but I am lonely and miserable, and you are happy and happy; then your happiness and happiness are harming me, so I will try my best to break them up, and I will not give up until I achieve my goal.

I may not be able to offend others.

But I can afford to mess with your family.

Who makes you so timid?
