Prince Merry

The sound of the border shocked the surroundings. With such a loud sound and such a magnificent scene, the ground could be heard tens of miles away, and the raging flames could be seen from far away. night sky.

People in Lianzhou City were in a state of panic. Although Xie Jiusi was in charge, without the garrison guards, how could the people feel at ease. They were afraid that the border would be breached, and even more afraid that Nanyan would really attack.

It is said that Nanyan has an army of 50.

I heard that Lianzhou is going to war with Nanyan.

It is even heard that the city lord of Lianzhou only brought [-] troops to fight against the enemy.

The city lord must be crazy. With an army of 50 against [-], everyone knows who is stronger and who is weaker, and there is no chance of winning at all.

The hearts of the people in Lianzhou City were fluctuating, and the people's hearts that had just stabilized quickly became chaotic again. The only thing I can only hope is that, except for a few well-known people or very wealthy businessmen, most of the residents in Lianzhou City did not escape. .

Of course, it’s not that they don’t want to run away, or that they love this land, but that they can’t run away at all. They don’t have a very valuable status, and they don’t have a lot of money. Nowadays, even the borders of the state are guarded by troops in all directions. When Dazhao was attacked, Nanyan was at war with Lianzhou, not to mention Dazhao, and the vassal kings everywhere erected anti-flags. Dazhao was in the period of war, so where could they run?

Human life is the most worthless thing in a war, so no matter how anxious and panic-stricken they are, the residents of Lianzhou City still wait patiently for news from the city lord, only hoping that a miracle will happen in heaven.

In any case, it is a good thing that Lianzhou City is not in chaos. Xie Jiusi was deeply relieved. He firmly believed that Ah Zhen would return triumphantly soon.

The days of waiting are always very long.

Compared with recovering the defeated captives, Qin Zizhen actually prefers fighting, at least the fighting is straightforward, and if he is unhappy, he will be destroyed.It's not as troublesome as winning people's hearts, not to mention that there is national hatred and family hatred mixed in it, he feels that it is really more difficult than fighting a war.

They only have 5 horses. Although the enemy is defeated, the number of them is more than five times larger. If there are too many people, it will be troublesome to eat, manage, and treat the wounded. , to arouse the enemy's anger and fight desperately, it will be another trouble at that time.

The original five-day itinerary dragged on for ten and a half months before Qin Zizhen led the army back to the city.

Xie Jiusi received the news early in the morning that the city lord's mansion announced the victory that day, and the whole Lianzhou city was boiling again.

The army returning to the city raised the banner of victory, majestic all the way.

The defeated captives, after half a month of running-in, some of them successfully surrendered, and some of them obeyed him. Of course, some of them would rather die than submit. Most of them were Nanyan nobles, who came from aristocratic families. They had integrity that ordinary soldiers did not have. For the sake of the family, For the sake of reputation, they could not surrender, nor did they dare to surrender.

This group of people is the most difficult to manage. Even if they have become prisoners, they are still very famous in the Yannan army. They should not be treated lightly, seriously, or killed. The turmoil of Jiangbing, after all, Jiangbing is also from Nanyan, and now he has just surrendered, and it is a time when people's hearts are unstable. Seeing the suffering of his former boss, how can he not have any thoughts in his heart.In this way, it will be extremely difficult, how can they be killed.The only way is to use the policy of three ignores, and serve you with delicious food and drink.

There is one thing wrong with supernatural beings, their eyes are too sharp, their ears are too sharp, and they can hear yelling and scolding from a distance.

The defeated prisoners who did not want to surrender sang tragic songs as they walked.

"Born as the soul of Nanyan, and dying as a ghost of Nanyan, Qin Zizhen has the guts for us to fight head-on."

"He only uses conspiracies and tricks, what kind of hero is he?"

"The traitors from Lianzhou humiliated me so far, Nanyan and you are at odds."

"The emperor will definitely send troops to help."

"Time doesn't wait for me, time doesn't wait for me, God is unfair... This battle, it's inexplicable to lose."

"Could it be that heaven is going to kill me, Nan Yan..."

"The army of 50 was completely defeated, what face would I have to go back to the emperor, and what face would I have to live on in this world."

"The last general swears to follow the general..."

"General, please think again! If you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood."

"We are all prisoners, and everything needs to be discussed in the long run."

"Being humiliated..."

"..."

Yang Feihan was furious, and the more he listened, the more angry he became: "Mom, I'm going to kill them."

Zhou Dahua squinted at him, and said angrily: "Come on, a few words of scolding will not lose a piece of meat, just pretend you didn't hear it."

Qiu Hongyun said calmly: "You treat them as money, just bear it and let it go."

Yang Feihan was choked, took a sip, and cursed: "Try to starve them a few times, and see who has the strength to speak."

Zhou Dahua sneered: "It's really a problem to starve people, and the prisoners of war rebelled and you suppressed them?"

Literati have integrity, and there is no shortage of generals. Nowadays, people regard face as more important than life. If you have nothing, you can’t lose integrity. Just like scolding the emperor in front of the Jinluan Palace, most of the censors are proud of it. They think this is a literati A censor who has never scolded the emperor is not a good censor.

The same is true for military generals. It is not terrible to be defeated and become a prisoner. They would rather die than submit, and see death as home. They cursed in the enemy camp.If they are punished at this time, it will fulfill their reputation of loyalty and filial piety, and if they die, they will die for the country.Not to mention starving them a few meals, even beating them to death or maiming them, they would only feel honored. There were people who went on hunger strike before, but if they were not threatened by the generals who surrendered, that person would never eat any food.

Therefore, starving them a few meals, or punishing them is definitely the next best thing to do.

Zhou Dahua secretly thought, let's bear with them for a while, and after negotiating with Nanyan, they will regret it.

This group of people not only needs to be raised, but also needs to be taken care of. It is best to put on a few more catties, so that they will be radiant with food. At that time, who will believe that they have not surrendered, even if they jump into the Yellow River, they will not be able to cleanse themselves.What's more, they have status in Nanyan and prestige in the army. Treating them kindly will make the soldiers below feel more at ease and surrender more willingly.

Yang Feihan stopped talking, he suddenly missed his son very much, if Yang Shaoying was here, he would definitely choke back, and silenced these bastard grandchildren.In other words, it's really embarrassing for him to be an old man.

Zhou Dahua smiled casually, he was actually quite envious of Lao Yang, he was obviously a rough man, yet he gave birth to a good son who is both civil and military.

Qiu Hongyun said with a smile: "If you are envious, hurry up and marry a wife."

Yang Feihan straightened his back, regained his energy, and immediately shivered with arrogance, who made his son capable, envy him, envy can only be watched.

Qin Zizhen suddenly remembered that many of the veterans who came to Lianzhou seemed to be unmarried. After thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "There are many girls in Dazhao, let Shaoying send some back next time, and Hongyun you go to sort out the roster and calculate how many there are." Old bachelor, hurry up tomorrow to see a good day, and arrange the marriage for them."

Qiu Hongyun raised his eyebrows: "That's a good relationship, and you can accept a lot of bribes."

Zhou Dahua scolded with a smile: "You are so beautiful."

Yang Feihan was proud of himself, he was majestic, no matter how beautiful they were, they had to have their sons capable to get back the woman.

As for where the women come from, no one cares. Most of the wars are the families of sin slaves, and most of them are homeless wandering women. Bringing them back to marry and not letting them fall into dirty places has already is a kindness.

Talking and laughing along the way, the Lianzhou army, from the generals to the soldiers, was all in high spirits.

Except for a group of veterans who were delighted to hear the news that they were about to marry their wives, the young soldiers below were elated and smiling. You know, they were prisoners of the defeat of Dazhao a few months ago. Chicken morning, not only do a lot of chores, but also go to the school field to arrange troops for drills, and you are as tired as a dog.

Therefore, this time Lianzhou is going to fight Nanyan, they will be very excited and high-spirited. They just want to earn more military merits and make the captive status a regular one. Who knows, the situation is even better than they imagined.

Looking at the defeated soldiers, they could only look up to the sky and laugh. Finally, they had soldiers under their command, they were promoted, and they were considered little bosses. This day couldn't be more beautiful.

The Lianzhou army returned in triumph.

Xie Jiusi led Qin Che and rushed to greet him.

From a long distance, riding on a horse, Qin Che waved his little hands and shouted, lest Qin Zizhen not see him: "Father, father, I am here."

The crowd searched for him thousands of times, and when I looked back, the man was in the dim light.

This sentence is very classic and very literary.

Qin Zizhen has never liked literary and artistic things, but at this moment, he somewhat understands the meaning of this sentence.

With just one glance, he saw his lover in the sea of ​​people. He didn't need to identify or search for him, as if there was a feeling in his heart that his lover was waiting for him there.

Qin Zizhen curled his lips into a smile, thinking, this is the legendary telepathy.

"Drive!" Qin Zizhen gripped the horse's back, flicked his whip, and galloped straight in the direction of his lover.

Xie Jiusi was overjoyed at first, then angry, and gave him a hard look, feeling ashamed and embarrassing in his heart, Qin Zizhen has always been informal, although he was happy to reunite with his lover after a long absence, he was afraid that Ah Zhen would make some deviant behavior.

Before he could think about it, Qin Zizhen had already come up to him, and he quickly got off his horse.

"Father—" Qin Che was joyful, with a stiff smile on his little face.

Qin Zizhen picked up his son, threw it to the guards beside him, then jumped on the horse, and put his lover in his arms first.

"..." Xie Jiusi was speechless, knowing that Ah Zhen would be like this.

Qin Che glanced resentfully at his father... stepfather!

The people around roared with laughter.

Xie Jiusi's cheeks were covered with blush, ignoring the little joy in his heart, he also broke the can, completely gave up resistance, and let his lover hug him, he was used to being ashamed anyway.In fact, from the bottom of his heart, he was still very happy that his lover made their relationship public.

"I miss you so much." Qin Zizhen was generous and loving.

Xie Jiusi took a look at him and quietly pinched his waist.

Qin Zizhen grinned, pretending to be in pain, but his hands hugged his lover even tighter.

A group of veterans and generals who followed Qin Zizhen covered their faces, while the junior soldiers were not surprised. As for the surrendered soldiers who had just been captured, they were dumbfounded. So shameless.

The group of captives who would rather die than surrender, heard the news and cursed even more.

"The world is going down..."

"Disgraceful..."

However, when did Qin Zizhen care about other people's eyes, he would not let his lover suffer the slightest grievance, and immediately ordered him to contact Emperor Nanyan and redeem them with money. It depends on whether they will have a good life after they go back, and they will not be drowned in saliva.

Hearing the city lord's order, everyone around understood it, and Zhang Chaoqun hurriedly ordered people to handle it.Gaining money and alienating the feelings of the enemy is a very clever plan!

A group of people returned quickly, and the people of Lianzhou cheered happily, and the city and outside the city were crowded with people, welcoming the triumphant return of the army.

Xie Jiusi was shy, his face didn't blush, and his heart didn't beat, but... when he heard the people's blessings, he felt bad.

"The relationship between the city lord and his wife is so good—"

Your sister, you are the wife, and your whole family is the wife.

Qin Zizhen smiled lowly, very satisfied with this title.
