To what extent did the entire Daye Dynasty have to go so far that the people would hate it to this extent?
Ban Hua is a very lazy person, too lazy to think too much, and too lazy to think about conspiracies, but this journey has been so smooth, as if someone has already laid out the way ahead, just waiting for them 's arrival
"There are people arranged by me in Taizhou City," Rong Xia smiled at Banhua who was lying in the tub in the room, "Madam, do you need me to take care of your bath?"
"Squeeze your shoulders for me," Banhua pulled the edge of the tub with both hands. Her long black hair was soaked in the tub. Water vapor was lingering in the room, and the temperature in the entire room was rising.
Rong Xia couldn't help but bite her gently on her shoulder, leaving a faint pink color.
"Are you a dog?" Banhua covered the bitten place, stretched out his hand to pull the neatly dressed Rong Xia into the bathtub, looked at his wet and embarrassed appearance, and put his arms around his neck, "Yes Don’t you want to take a shower with me?”
Rong Xia took a deep breath when he saw her fair and tender chest: "Huahua, it is said that many, many years ago, there was a banshee on the sacred mountain. Anyone who saw her was fascinated and was willing to offer his life to her. Head..."
The tip of his tongue traced across Banhua's ear, "Are you this banshee?"
"Wouldn't you know it if you tasted it?"
Ban Hua smiled softly, which was like the igniter that ignited the flame in Rong Xia's chest, causing the body temperature of the two of them to burn in the bathtub.
"Du Jiu?" Zhao Zhong walked outside the yard. This house was originally the residence of an official. However, because this official was a slave to the common people, he was **** and thrown into prison by the local people. He saw Du Jiu guarding outside the main courtyard gate and asked curiously, "I didn't see Mr. Wang Qu this time?"
"He can't walk now, his hands can't write, and his eyes can't see. How can he join the army?" Du Jiu didn't mention the things Wang Qu did. Mentioning these things would only make the lord unhappy again.
When Zhao Zhong heard Wang Qu's words, he guessed that Wang Qu might have violated his lord's taboo and ended up like this. He glanced around, patted his buttocks and sat down on the stone steps: "You are all old people who follow my lord. I have no intention of asking about your lord's private affairs. It's just that Princess Fule has some old connections with our family, so I want to hear about it." Listen to how she is doing, and for no other reason, just seek peace of mind."
"I think you are confused," Du Jiu walked to him and followed his example and sat down, "The princess is the lord's wife, will she have a hard time?"
"Old Du, we have been friends for many years. You don't need to tell me these scenes. I don't like to hear them either," Zhao Zhong smiled bitterly, "What about the relationship between our Zhao family and Princess Fule? It’s not that I don’t know.”
"It's just because I know that I don't want to tell you more," Du Jiu said angrily, "How much the lord values the princess, you may not know it if you haven't been in the capital these years, but can I not know it? If I were you , in the future, I won’t mention the connection between your family and the princess, and what is the purpose of bringing it up?"
"If you don't mention it, don't mention it. I'm relieved because the lord and the princess have a good relationship." Zhao Zhong has a good temper. Hearing Du Jiu say this, he was not unhappy at all. Instead, he smiled kindly, "The two of our family have a good relationship." What a naughty boy, ever since I got along with the princess a few times, I have been saying the same thing to the princess all day long, I really don’t know who is their father.”
Du Jiu snorted and said quite proudly: "What does this mean? There are so many naughty kids in the capital who have to bow politely when they come in front of our princess. Those two boys of yours like to listen to the princess's words. It’s not weird anymore.”
Hearing Du Jiu's words about our princess, Zhao Zhong laughed a little. Is Du Jiu with the princess or with Princess Fule
But I heard from other counselors that Du Jiu has been very useful to his lord over the years. Even Princess Fule was particularly close to him after entering the house. Perhaps this is because honest people have an honest way to survive. Wang Qu is full of knowledge and has no shortage of scheming and resourcefulness, but in the end his position is not as stable as Du Jiu.
"Husband and wife are one and the same. The princess treats your boys as the master does, right?" Du Jiu simply said more clearly, "The princess is proficient in riding, archery and martial arts. Those two boys of yours If you can learn one and a half moves, that's enough."
Zhao Zhong suddenly realized that Du Jiu was telling him how good the relationship between the Marquis and the princess was. The lord's advisers are all weighing the power behind Princess Fule, and are also considering whether the Ban family will disapprove of the lord's ascension to the throne because of the eldest princess. Unexpectedly, Du Jiu revealed the true nature of the relationship: husband and wife are one.
This may not necessarily apply to other people, but the Lord is different. He has no important relatives around him, and the closest one is probably Princess Fule.
There is also the Tiger Talisman of the Three Armies that the lord has taken out these days. Who else gave it to him if not the princess? If they already had the Tiger Talisman of the Three Armies, why have they endured it until now? Princess Fule gave such an important thing to her lord, how could outsiders like them underestimate this friendship?
After the army rested in Taizhou for seven days and prepared enough food and grass, they heard that the imperial court had sent an army to conquer Rong, intending to attack all the rebels in one fell swoop.
The total number of men and horses on Rong Xia's side is only 150,000, while Falong's army is said to be 350,000. After removing the water from them, there are probably about 200,000 left. This battle may be a bit difficult to fight.
Ban Hua wondered if his mouth was poisonous. He had just said that rebellion was a joke a few days ago, but now the imperial army was approaching. She sat in the deputy position, and after listening to the report of the line soldiers, she asked, "Who is leading the soldiers?"
"King Changqing is appointed as the Marshal of the Army and Horses, and Shi Jin is appointed as the General of the Army and Horses. King Changqing is the chief, and Shi Jin is the deputy."
"It's actually them?" Banhua was a little surprised, "Isn't Shi Jin from the prince?"
"The lives of everyone in the Shi family are in the hands of the tyrant, how can Shi Jin not obey?" The young man in silver armor admired Shi Jin a little, but his dislike for Jiang Luo was even stronger in his words, "He is Relying on this, we dared to let Shi Jin lead troops into battle."
Banhua shook his head, not knowing whether to sympathize or sigh with emotion about what happened to the Shi family.
After so many years of glory, Jiang Luo was so tormented by Jiang Luo. It was true that the family was not the family, the ministers were not the ministers, and even the dignified son of the prime minister had to do things against his will.
Rong Xia glanced at Banhua: "Let's go find out more information."
"Yes."
Three days later, Rong Xia led the army into Yongzhou. The terrain of Yongzhou was not dangerous, but if he wanted to capture Yongzhou, he had to cross the Qingsha River. When Rong Xia's army arrived, the iron cable bridge on the river had been artificially destroyed.
Across the spacious and calm river, Rong Xia looked at the army on the other side of the river without saying a word.
An hour later, a boat rowed over from the other side of the river. There were three envoys sitting on the boat. They tried to persuade Rong Xia to surrender and promised many benefits. One of the conditions was to restore the title of the Ban family.
Having come this far, how could Rong Xia surrender? He looked at the three envoys calmly and asked: "Do you think the three adults are suffering or not suffering for the people in the world?"
The three envoys looked a little uncomfortable. One of them clasped his fists and said: "Marquis Cheng'an, as a minister, you should be loyal to the emperor..."
"As an official of the imperial court, you should be patriotic and caring for the people. Rong Xia is not talented. Although this move may be a mantis trying to block the car, he also wants to save all the people from the fire and water." Rong Xia stood up and looked at the three people, " Rong admires the loyalty of the three adults very much, but for the sake of the people of the world, Rong is willing to bear the infamy of being traitorous and disloyal."
The envoy blushed after hearing these words. Marquis Cheng'an was originally a humble gentleman and a man of great glory, but today he has reached this point. Is this just because he is not loyal enough? Perhaps it is precisely because he is a gentleman that he cannot bear to see the suffering of the people in the world and cannot stand the fatuous emperor.
They were not as good as him. They came to lobby today, but they were just following orders. They knew very well that they could not convince Rong Xia at all.
"Your Majesty is very righteous!" One of the old men with white hair and beard bowed deeply to Rong Xia, "I already understand your thoughts, and we will go back and report to the Marshal."
Rong Xia raised her hand in a please gesture.
The three envoys walked out of the tent, saw the momentum of the Rong family army, and thought of the imperial army's lack of fighting spirit. They couldn't help but shook their heads in their hearts. Unless Marshal Ban was still alive, the imperial army would not be able to stop the rebels from advancing. pace of.
But Marshal Ban’s descendant has already married Rong Xia, and even the Tiger Talisman of the Three Armies has been handed over to him. No one in this world can guarantee what his last name will be.
The imperial army and the Rong family army faced off on both sides of the Qingsha River for three days, but neither of them had any intention of using force. Early on the morning of the fourth day, the imperial troops on the observation deck discovered that the Rong family troops were singing and dancing as if they were celebrating a festival.
He was puzzled, so he reported the news to Shangfeng.
Soon the news reached King Changqing and Shi Jin.
"It's just a way to confuse people," King Changqing sneered, "Rong Xia likes to be calm on the surface, but we don't know how anxious he is on the inside. Their food and grass are limited, if they want to fight a war of attrition with us , he cried."
Shi Jin looked at the Kanyu map on the table, his eyes fell on Qingsong County next to Yongzhou and he didn't speak. There is also a bridge across the Qingsha River in Qingsong County, but the chain bridge is much smaller than the bridge in Yongzhou. The terrain on both sides of the river is narrow and the road is winding and difficult. Without locals who are familiar with the road conditions to guide the way, it is easy to fall into the rapids. In the river, with Rong Xia's cautious character, he would not choose such a path.
He did not have much friendship with King Changqing. After entering the military camp, King Changqing did not want to be deprived of power by him, so he was always on guard against him. Even if he told his guess, King Changqing would not believe him. Sure enough, when he proposed to lead troops to guard Qingsong County, he was flatly rejected by King Changqing.
"If you take part of the troops away and the Rong family's army suddenly attacks, what will happen here?" King Changqing said firmly, "I have been with Rong Xia for many years. What kind of person is he? How much do I think?" I know a little bit about it, he must be waiting for us to take the initiative to divide our troops so that we can sneak attack at night."
Shi Jin laughed sarcastically in his heart, "How can you guarantee that the Marquis, who holds the Tiger Talisman of the Three Armies in his hand but has not been discovered by anyone, has been friends with you for several years?" Are you lying to me?
Since King Ning ascended the throne, King Changqing has been promoted from a county king to a prince. No one expected that he would be with King Ning. Now King Changqing has great fame in the capital, and no one dares to offend him easily. King Evergreen is a man who thinks he is smart. He is conceited and arrogant. What he dislikes most is others questioning his decisions.
Shi Jin has a calm personality, he has to think carefully about everything he does, and he doesn't like to have his own way. The two of them have almost completely opposite temperaments.
Discord between the generals is not good for the morale of the army, so most of the time Shi Jin is unwilling to argue with King Changqing. He even had a strange thought in his heart, thinking that even if the world was overthrown, it would not be a bad thing.
Whenever King Evergreen makes a decision, sometimes he clearly thinks it is wrong, but he chooses to go with the flow.
After the Rong family army was busy on the other side for two days, they suddenly made a night attack on the third night, intending to lay wooden planks on the bridge and attack the other side. However, they were discovered by the imperial army who had been well prepared and had to retreat in a hurry.
King Changqing stood on the watchtower, watching the Rong family army being beaten by the imperial army and fleeing in embarrassment, abandoning their helmets and armor, with a happy expression on his face. He knew that Rong Xia was used to pretending like this. Wouldn't this make him unable to sit still?
"Generalissimo, do we want to fight to the other side of the river?"
"No need," King Changqing raised his lips proudly, "Rong Xia is looking forward to us crossing the river, but I won't let him get what he wants."
In the next few nights, the Rong family army would send people to try to cross the river, but they failed every time. Gradually, the imperial army discovered that Rong Jiajun had no intention of singing and dancing, and even the smoke from the kitchen gradually became less and less.
The imperial army is almost certain that the rebels are out of food and grass.
While they were waiting for the rebels to surrender, an urgent report suddenly came from Qingsong County. The rebels crossed the river from Qingsong County and intended to break through the gate of Qingsong County. They wanted to request support.
"What?" King Changqing looked at the soldiers reporting the news in disbelief, "How could Rong Xia lead troops to attack Qingsong County?"
He was deceived by Rong Xia!
From the beginning, Rong Xia had no intention of attacking Yongzhou. He deliberately let his soldiers raid for several nights in a row just to make him believe that his focus was on Yongzhou.
"Generalissimo, what should we do now?"
King Changqing looked at Shi Jin, and after a while he said with a livid face: "Shi Jin, you lead troops to Qingsong County to kill the rebels. Rong Xia is cunning, and I'm worried that the rebels who attacked Qingsong County are only a small number. , the main target of the rebels is still here."
"Yes." Shi Jin hugged a fist, raised the curtain of the military tent and walked out.
The soldiers in the camp all remember that Shi Jin offered to lead troops to guard Qingsong County, but King Changqing was unwilling, which led to today's situation. But seeing the angry look of King Evergreen at this moment, no one dared to add fuel to the fire without the sense of humor.
This time King Changqing guessed well. The Rong family army that attacked Qingsong County was indeed only part of the army, and the person leading this group of soldiers was Banhua. Wearing silver armor, she listened to the screams of the defenders at the city gate without saying a word.
"Rong Xia has no one under his command, so he wants you, a bitch-like pretty face, to lead the army?" The general standing on the city wall laughed loudly, as if he had said something ridiculous, "You If you surrender obediently and get under my crotch, grandpa, I will spare your life."
Sometimes when the two soldiers were scolding each other, they would say all kinds of ugly things. Du Jiu and Zhao Zhong, who were following Banhua, were worried that she couldn't stand the verbal stimulation, but they didn't know that Banhua would yell at the other side at the top of her voice. Woke up.
"You look like my grandpa, and you don't go to the beach to pee on your buttocks. How can you give birth to an iconic character like me?" Banhua threw away the silver gun in his hand. To Du Jiu, he put his hands on his hips and cursed, "You have grown up so hard, have you found a wife, and are the babies you gave birth to yours? Don't think all the time that all men in the world are your sons and grandsons. Thinking too much is a disease, you First think about which unlucky guy is willing to be your father and your grandfather, and then show off in front of me! Bah!"
Rong Jiajun was stunned by Banhua's scolding. This, this is Princess Fule, right? She is their lord's wife, right?
Why does this curse sound like that of a veteran in the military?
"Damn it, you little bastard, I'll kill you later, grandpa, and soak your eggs in wine!"
"You envy me for having two liang, do you have two liang on me!?" Banhua scolded back, "Even if you drink all the eggnog in the world, you are just an ugly **** with only eight liang and can't make two liang!"
Gudong.
Zhao Zhong couldn't help but swallowed, turned to look at Du Jiu, and found that he was not much better than himself. He suddenly felt more balanced. It seemed that he was not the only one who was frightened.
Banhua was fighting with ten people by himself. Finally, he was so angry that the general at the city gate rushed out with his troops and horses. This big man was eight feet tall and had a thorn hammer in his hand. He was very unwilling to smash Banhua to death. Posture.
"Humph!"
Ban Hua took out the bow and arrow on his horse and shot the arrow. The big man who was still yelling was pierced by the arrow in the chest and fell to the ground with a thud.
The soldiers he brought out were stunned when they saw that their leader was dead. They turned around and wanted to go back to the city. Unexpectedly, arrows rained down from the sky and they were all shot into sieves.
Banhua looked back at the lieutenant-general behind him with a cold face: "Remember, this is what happens when you show off your bravery. Don't talk nonsense if you can do it, and don't look down on any opponent. He just had time to yell at the city gate, so he We should find an archer who is good at bows and arrows to shoot our king's flag, but he looks down on me, a pretty boy, and looks for opportunities to humiliate me. Please remember this lesson and don't make the same mistake."
"Yes!"
All the generals responded in unison, looking at Banhua with eyes filled with admiration.
Ban Hua was very satisfied with their obedient attitude and raised his hand: "Attack the city!"
Defending the city should have been easier than attacking it, but because the leader of the Qingsong County soldiers was shot to death by an arrow from the rebel leader, the morale of the army was in chaos. Seeing the rebels' killing noise, the city gate was about to be breached, and many soldiers lost their lives. The courage to defend the city.
"General," Du Jiu wiped away the blood that had been spattered on his face at some point, "the resistance of the soldiers defending the city seems to have dropped."
"Breaking the city will break the morale of the army," Banhua knocked over a cavalryman with one shot and said to Du Jiu, "Tell the brothers to work harder and capture Qingsong County as soon as possible. If I am not wrong, we will be within two days." On the 2nd, the reinforcements sent by the imperial court will arrive."
"General, I understand!" Du Jiuyi slapped his horse on the **** and began to encourage his own military morale.
On the battlefield, there is no distinction between men and women, only you and me. Rong Jiajun had known for a long time that Banhua had two skills, but he didn't expect that she was so adaptable to the army. She was also very good at leading troops and generals. She killed the enemy cleanly and neatly in battle. It looked like she had been practiced at it.
These soldiers who followed Banhua out to attack Qingsong County were finally convinced of Banhua and were full of admiration and worship.
"Bang!"
The city gate of Qingsong County was finally breached, and Banhua led his troops to fight in. She thought she would be greeted by fierce resistance from the military and civilians, but the moment she rushed in, she saw a teenage child crying and shouting: "I surrender."
This boy was wearing ill-fitting armor. He was thin and small, and the hand holding the knife was trembling. Banhua just glanced at him, and he was so frightened that he knelt down in front of Banhua.
The other soldiers were not much better than this boy. Their numb faces showed a bit of panic, and they showed no sign of resistance. However, these people stood at the front, and those blocked behind them were Old, weak, women and children in ragged clothes.
"Du Jiu, take the people to count the number of people, be careful of sneak attacks," Banhua glanced at the shivering children and women in the crowd, and added, "If anyone in the army dares to **** a girl, I will personally chop him down. His head is hung on the city wall."
"Subordinates take orders."
After the Qingsong County city gate was breached, arranging the people of Qingsong County was easier than Banhua imagined. In other words, after these people discovered that Banhua had no intention of killing them and helped them clean up the streets, they became very obedient to Banhua's arrangements and would never go west if he told them to go east.
"General, general," just as Banhua walked down the tower and was about to look at the roster collected by the people below, a little boy ran up to her, "Are you really a rebel?,"
Banhua reached out and touched his head: "We are not rebels, we are here to rescue everyone."
The little boy didn't understand what rescue meant. He looked at Banhua blankly and said after a while, "You are a good person if you don't steal our food."
"Little brat, this is not called a good person, this is called a human being," Banhua smiled lightly, "Officers and soldiers who steal things from the common people are beasts."
"Sir, sir," a teenage girl hurried over, stretched out her hand and knocked the little boy hard several times, and then looked at Banhua in horror: "My brother is ignorant and has offended my lord, please." Sir, let us go."
"Your brother is quite interesting," Banhua said in a teasing tone when he saw that the little girl was so frightened that she was stammering, "Don't be afraid, I don't bully children."
She dug into her purse and found a few snacks that she used as snacks, and put them in the little girl's hands: "Here, take them to calm down the shock."
The little girl did not dare to move while holding the snacks.
"You are quite wary," Banhua took another piece from her hand and threw it into his mouth, "Don't worry, there is no poison in it."
The little girl glanced at Banhua secretly, and just one glance made her blush. She lowered her head and held the snack, and hurriedly pulled her brother away. After walking far away, she dared to look back secretly, but she didn't know that she couldn't find Banhua. The figure of Hua is gone.
"Sister, that general is so nice." The little boy stuffed a snack into his mouth, "His snacks are also delicious."
"Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat." The little girl couldn't help scolding, "What if he is a bad guy, do you want to die?"
"But he's not a good man," the little boy turned around and muttered. Suddenly he noticed a few men sneaking past the alley he often passed by, and couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Qingsong County is only so big. Who are the neighbors that we usually pass by, what is the dressing style of everyone in the county, everyone knows in their hearts that the words and deeds of those men do not look like they are from Qingsong County. .
"General," Du Jiu walked to Banhua's office, "a child just came to report that there were several adult men acting suspiciously in the city."
"Spy?" This was the first thing Banhua thought of. She calculated the time and it was time for the imperial army to react. "Tell the brothers below to be on guard. The imperial army should be coming soon."
"My subordinate understands," Du Jiu hesitated and couldn't help but ask, "General, those things you yelled and cursed in front of the formation..."
"What, are you not used to hearing this?"
"No, no, no, I feel quite relieved to hear that."
"Just relieve your anger." Banhua threw the pen aside. She was most impatient with these things. "My family supports many disabled veterans who have been in battle, and their level of swearing is superb. If you are interested , when you return to Beijing, go visit them and ask them to teach you two tricks."
Du Jiu was stunned. Did the Ban family still have so many veterans who were already crippled and useless to the imperial court?
At this moment, the image of the Ban family became extremely tall in his heart.
