Crane Chong dressed as a villain and a foolish king

The Northern Rong invaded, the whole court was shocked, the princes were shaken, and the people were panicked.

Now it's late autumn, and the people of the Dazhen Dynasty have had enough food and clothing for the past two years. The crops have just been harvested this autumn, and the granaries at home are full. Edge looting is to be expected.

But the dark city messenger's expression didn't look relaxed, Xiao Lang knew that things were not that simple, so he hurriedly asked: "How many soldiers and horses do they have?"

An Chengxin's forehead seeped a layer of hot sweat that just came out: "They... came out in full force!"

The corners of Xiao Lang's eyes twitched violently, Zhuang Heng gasped, and even the guards in front of the palace beside him turned pale with shock.

Xiao Lang nodded, and immediately sent an order to get the ministers of the court out of bed to discuss urgent matters, and decided on the strategy against the enemy overnight, and the army set off quickly and efficiently before dawn.

Xiao Lang and Zhuang Heng stood on Chenglou to see off the army to leave. The soldiers looked back at the Son of Heaven and the Immortal Monarch, full of fighting spirit and high morale.

Xiao Lang has people from the dark city to help, and the news is transmitted quickly. Don't look at the news at this moment and everyone is very nervous. In fact, Bei Rong has just set off for a short time. Xiao Lang's response is quick, and the delay is minimized. , Coupled with the strong backing of Zhuang Heng, the army directly avoided the heavy black food and grass team, and rode lightly, which was much more efficient than before.

After the army left, Xiao Lang led Zhuang Heng down from the tower: "Have all the princes received the news? When will they send troops?"

A general beside him clasped his fists and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, except for Zou and Qi, all other countries have dispatched troops this morning. Liang is located in the north, and it even took action overnight."

Bei Rong brought the whole family to attack. For such a big event, the vassal states would naturally have to express their feelings. No matter out of moral responsibility or selfishness, they should send troops. With some food and grass, the march will not be fast, but it is enough as a backup.

It's just that Xiao Lang didn't expect that in addition to Qi Guo, there would be Zou Guo who couldn't handle him.

King Qi's rebellion is clearly revealed. Even if he is loyal, Qi Guo's mountains are high and the water is far away, and it doesn't matter if he sends troops or not. However, Zou Guo, as the most powerful vassal state in the Central Plains, unexpectedly lost the chain at this critical moment. , it is somewhat intriguing.

Xiao Lang turned his head to look at Zhuang Heng: "Is there enough food and grass for Xianjun?"

He always called Zhuang Heng the Immortal Monarch in front of outsiders, this was to emphasize Zhuang Heng's status.

Zhuang Heng said: "There is enough food and grass, and if it is not enough, you can ask the princes for it."

Xiao Lang knew that he understood his intentions, so he couldn't help showing a smile: "What the fairy said is that the harvest has been good in the past two years, and the food and grass are not a problem, but the fairy will be tired and send the food and grass to the army. past."

Zhuang Heng has a huge gold finger given by the system, so it is not a problem to transport food and grass. His apprentices and grandchildren are all over the place, and the military camp also specially invited his apprentices to be the leader of the army. This kind of object, as long as it is branded with the system, he can locate it in one second, transfer it in the blink of an eye, and move the food and grass out of the space after arriving at the destination, and complete a "express delivery" easily.

The vassal states don't have such good treatment, and the grain and grass have to be transported by the army. Xiao Lang now means that he hopes that Zhuang Heng will also help the vassal states to transport the grain and grass, which is naturally a trivial matter for Zhuang Heng.

Xiao Lang asked again: "Do you still have enough canned food?"

Zhuang Heng nodded: "More than enough."

Xiao Lang said: "Then give a share to the feudal states."

Canned food is a good thing. In the past, where there was such a good ration during the war and marching, thank God for being able to cover the stomach. It is difficult to eat warm food at ordinary times. Big fish and big meat can only be relied on in dreams. Now with Zhuang Heng, the nutrition of the soldiers is as good as Yes, there is enough fish, and there are instant noodles when you are in a hurry. When the lid is lifted, the fragrance wafts far away. Don't dare to make mistakes, the princes have heard about it for a long time, and their eyes are red with envy.

As the two went down the tower, they discussed the supply of canned food and grass. The ministers behind them were so excited and proud that they couldn't even straighten their waists consciously.

Thanks to Xianjun!At the beginning, the emperor insisted on marrying Xianjun, but fortunately they didn't stop him, otherwise he would regret it now.

With sufficient supplies of grain, grass and canned food, even if there are thousands of people who are unwilling to send troops from the vassal states, they feel at ease.

It's just that some people are comfortable, and naturally others are uncomfortable.

Xiao Lang pointed out something: "Zou Guo and Qi Guo didn't send troops, it's a pity that their soldiers can't taste our canned food."

A minister said with a smile: "It's not easy. Turn the soldiers of Zou and Qi into soldiers of our court, so they can eat them?"

Xiao Lang laughed: "It's a good suggestion."

Gong Zou, who was far to the east, sneezed suddenly. He paused, took the handkerchief handed over by the attendant and wiped his face, looked at his confidant who came to report the matter, his eyes were tearing, and he said angrily: "All countries have sent troops?"

The confidant lowered his head: "Yes."

"It's unreasonable!" Zou Gong slammed the case, "The last time they went back to the Qi Nationality Alliance, they all passed obediently. Why are they pretending to be deaf and dumb this time when it's my turn? Is it located in the rich and powerful state of Zou in the Central Plains?"

The confidant minister next to him shook his head and sighed: "This is different from the past. Back then, everyone thought that the emperor was seriously ill, and everyone had their own thoughts in their hearts, so they couldn't wait to make a move. But now, the emperor is young and powerful, and he is no longer in a daze. In addition, there are immortals helping out from the side, like a tiger with wings added, and the right time, place and people, we don't take any of it."

Zou Gong was so angry that his eyes were filled with unwillingness.

Another minister persuaded: "Assess the situation, we are already on fire, if we don't try to remedy it, the state of Zou...is in danger!"

At this time someone ran over in a hurry, and the person beside Duke Zou walked over immediately, the person whispered in his ear, and the attendant returned to Duke Zou quickly.

Zou Gong calmed down a little, turned his head and asked, "What's the matter?"

The man laughed: "I heard that Bei Rong arrived at the border town first, and the generals of the border town surrendered without a fight. The Bei Rong cavalry drove straight in. When they reached the second city, the generals of the second city surrendered again."

Mr. Zou was taken aback, and then he laughed too, gloating and said: "Why is this so? Don't they all say that the court officers and soldiers have strict discipline? How did they become so useless? And they all know that the court's soldiers and horses march fast. Even if the frontier soldiers are timid, they can still wait for reinforcements after a few days, why is this so?"

Although the Dazhen Dynasty followed the enfeoffment system of the Zhou Dynasty, it also made a lot of reforms, such as guarding the border and not relying on the princes, and all of them were soldiers and horses of the court. This has advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, the court can have enough The ability to resist foreign enemies and reduce the vassal state's restraint on the central government. On the other hand, in order to reassure the vassal states, the border guards did not arrange too many soldiers. If there was a war, the court would have to dispatch troops from the central government. The crisis of "the general is away, and the emperor's order will not be given", at this time, the transportation is inconvenient, and the border guards are boring and difficult. This is a great test for the loyalty of the soldiers guarding the border.

Several courtiers looked at each other in dismay, vaguely guessing that the general guarding the border might have turned his back on him, but the specific reason could not be figured out after a long discussion.

Not long after Zou's monarchs and ministers waited and watched the situation, another news came: Qi State suddenly changed the sky, and the imperial court dispatched magic soldiers and generals from nowhere, and they took down the capital of Qi State overnight, and the soldiers of Qi State died. The dead captives and the common people have no power to resist, only surrender.

Duke Zou's face turned completely pale: "So, the State of Qi...is dead?"

The confidant swallowed and nodded: "Yes, he is dead."

Mr. Zou lost his footing and sat down on the ground: "Why so suddenly? You...have you ever felt that you knew each other?"

Immediately, a subject said with a trembling voice: "Back then... that's how the country of Lu fell, and it was also... overthrown overnight..."

Zou Gong was so frightened that his soul almost flew away. With trembling fingers, he supported the arm extended by the attendant, and stood up with difficulty: "The emperor... how did the emperor do it? Then... what about King Qi?"

The confidant said: "King Qi...has become a bereaved dog, so he can only hide in Tibet, and wait for the emperor to find him someday..."

Zou Gong's eyes widened and his lips trembled, he was speechless for a while.

A courtier raised his eyes to the sky outside the hall, and murmured: "If the Son of Heaven doesn't raise his troops, he will die. If he raises his troops, the princes and kingdoms will perish! We are still alive today because we haven't really touched the Son of Heaven. Ni Lin, once we...we..."

Zou Gong's eyes were red, he gritted his teeth and said, "We have already touched his reverse scale!"

After the words fell, there was a sound of breathing all around.

A minister choked with sobs and persuaded: "Now we have only one way, so hurry up and send troops to fight Beirong, and make meritorious deeds!"

Mr. Zou took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and after a while, he lowered his head and said dejectedly, "Let's do it this way."

At the same time that Zou Guo sent troops, Xiao Lang had already completely taken over Qi Guo, with the help of Zhuang Heng and the dark city soldiers and horses, no matter how far the distance is now, it's just that it is easy to take over Qi State, but it is difficult to capture King Qi.

Xiao Lang frowned: "Why has King Qi always been like a slippery loach, he has repeatedly failed to assassinate in the past, but now he is nowhere to be found, even the people in the dark city can't do anything about him."

Zhuang Heng thought for a while: "Maybe he has golden fingers."

Xiao Lang looked at him suspiciously: "Goldfinger?"

Zhuang Heng pointed to himself: "For example, in my system, I can fly, I can teleport, these unreasonable abilities are golden fingers."

Xiao Lang understood, and his face suddenly revealed.

Zhuang Heng said: "Since King Qi has a golden finger of rebirth, maybe he has a second and third golden finger, oh yes, he also has a superb memory, this is his second golden finger, now I guess he has a third golden finger." indivual."

Xiao Lang frowned: "If that's the case, wouldn't it be as difficult as climbing the sky to find King Qi?"

Sitting on the side, Zuo Zai Fuxu said: "King Qi is too difficult to support alone, and it is no longer a climate. We have taken down the country of Qi and it is enough to shock the world. It is natural that King Qi can find it, and it doesn't matter if he can't find it."

Xiao Lang knew that this was indeed the case, but King Qi had always been his heart disease, if he didn't find King Qi, how could he be willing?

What's more, the attack on Qi State was because he got the exact news, and the soldiers on the border surrendered without a fight because they had secretly colluded with King Qi. It is necessary to turn the Central Plains upside down.

King Qi committed such a heinous crime, how could he not give an explanation to the people of the world?

While discussing, someone outside suddenly came to report: "Your Majesty Qizuo, Liang Guo has an envoy visiting!"

Xiao Lang raised his eyes: "Liang Country?"

A courtier hissed suspiciously: "We are fighting, and the border guards surrendered to the enemy, and the one who is facing the enemy is the country of Liang. Duke Liang sent an envoy here at this time. Could it be that he is asking for help from us?"

Zuo Zai shook his head: "It shouldn't be. Liang Kingdom is far away from the king's city. The envoys should have been on their way a long time ago, maybe for other things."

Xiao Lang said: "Let him in."

Not long after, the envoy entered the palace, walked into the main hall, bowed his head and got up, and said loudly: "I am ordered by Duke Liang to come here to deliver a very important item to Your Majesty."

Xiao Lang saw that his brows were upright, so he smiled and said softly: "What is it? Bring it up and have a look."

The envoy took out a simple wooden box from his sleeve, raised his hands above his head, and knelt down again.

"This thing can help His Majesty find King Qi smoothly."
