Bend Over [ 折腰 ] - Chapter 139

[Chapter 137]

Yanzhou.

In just over a month, first came the old enemy Zhou Qun, and then the Zhou Qun joint army.

Yanzhou was actually attacked by large armies twice.

Qiao Ping led Qiao Ci and a cadre of generals, lined up and fought with all their might.

For the first time, Zhou Qun was repelled and defeated.

The Yanzhou military and people had just breathed a sigh of relief, not wanting Zhou Qun to reorganize the soldiers and horses again and raise troops to attack.

This time, he won the joint army, and the momentum was even greater than the previous time, directly attacking the Yanzhou Gateway Juye, and there was a great posture of not giving up without destroying Yanzhou.

At that time, Qiao Yue was very frightened, thinking that Yanzhou’s decision could not be as lucky as the last time to repel the attackers.

In collegial discussion with the strategist Zhang Pu and others, he proposed to go with the flow, surrender the book, and submit to Xingxun in exchange for peace.

Xingxun was proclaimed emperor in the last year, and the name of Jiang was built, and the edict reached the nine states of the world, and ordered the princes everywhere to stab the history of worship.

There were few responders.

Some of the princes of the world have been intimidated by obscenity, some have judged the situation at the time of examination, and some have other plans.

Yes, no one pulled the flag to speak out against it. But no one wants to openly answer the edict for fear of taking the reputation of a rogue thief.

The same is true of Yanzhou.

But things have developed dramatically, to this point.

Qiao Yue finally couldn’t bear the pressure and made this decision.

Naturally, it was strongly opposed by Qiao Ping.

In Yanzhou, Qiao Ping’s prestige is now better than in the past, and his family will listen to his orders more.

Qiao Yue argued, and was told by Qiao Ping that he knew the green-eyed general of Lingbi, and the other side was willing to lead troops to come to the aid of the battle.

Qiao Yue was half-convinced, and could only reluctantly give up.

After several chaotic battles, finally just yesterday, Zhou Qunjun was not only completely defeated, but Zhou Qun himself was killed in the rebel army. It is expected that in the short term, Xingxun should not be able to launch another attack on Yanzhou.

The Yanzhou military and civilians all raised their eyebrows and breathed.

If you talk about merit, the first is the green-eyed general.

In the midst of thousands of armies and horses, if you enter and leave no man’s land.

The reason why Yanzhou’s long-time enemy Zhou Qun broke the giant field was also when he was defeated, he was intercepted by the platoon of the Green Eyed General, and finally killed.

If this battle had not been aided by him, it would have been impossible to achieve such a brilliant victory.

The yanzhou soldiers and civilians all spread the name of the green-eyed general Battlefield, looking forward to seeing him in triumph.

……

On the day that Qiao Ping’s father and son returned from juye, they rode into the city and were welcomed by the people.

However, he did not see the rumored green-eyed general accompanying him, and the people were a little disappointed.

Qiao Yue led the people to greet Qiao Ping’s triumph in front of the mansion.

He had a smile on his face.

But the smile seemed to reveal a little reluctance.

After receiving Qiao Ping into the mansion, Qiao Yue asked, “That green-eyed general, why didn’t you enter the city with you today?” I have heard of this person before, although he started his family as the head of the displaced people, his origin is a little low, but the so-called hero does not ask the source, this time I Yanzhou has received his help, I should personally thank him.

Qiao Ping invited Qiao Yue into the study, stepped back, and said, “I was thinking of talking to my brother about this.” It is no secret that the Green Eyed General is not an outsider. The brother also knew him. Qiao Yue was

puzzled: “Who?” “It’s

Biyan.”

Qiao Yue did not react at first, and his face was confused: “Who is Bi Yan?”

He paused, and suddenly, as if remembering, his eyes widened in disbelief: “You mean Manuby, the family that seduced my daughter that day?”

Qiao Ping bowed his head: “Exactly.” The

more Joe froze.

“Biyan is just outside the city gates at this moment. He wanted to see his brother, and he pleaded guilty.

Seeing that Qiao Yue was silent, he advised: “Brother Fang Cai himself also said, the hero does not ask the source.” Biyan should not have taken my niece away from home in the first place, and the two were married without the permission of their parents, which was incompatible with the law of human ethics. But he was in love with his niece, and it was a helpless move at the time. Moreover, now, the niece not only gave birth to a son, but also added a grandson for the eldest brother you, he is not what he used to be, supporting the army and respecting himself, and has helped me Yanzhou in danger several times. I hope that the eldest brother will abandon his previous suspicions and accept him. In this way, it is the good fortune of my Qiao family, and it is also the luck of Yanzhou! “How

many times has he helped Yanzhou?”

“Once upon a time, when Xue Tai attacked Yanzhou, the two armies were lined up in Juye, and when Ci’er was in distress in front of the front, it was he who appeared in time to rescue him, and Ci’er was lucky enough to escape the disaster. I didn’t know at the time that the benefactor was Biyan. Later, I learned that because it was inconvenient to explain, I did not pay tribute to my brother in time. Don’t blame your brother. Joe felt

a pang of distraught.

This sudden news made him feel confused for a while.

The lowly manoon who made him want to catch the ashes every time he thought about it that day had now soared into the sky, transformed himself, and returned to him in the face of a Benefactor of Yanzhou.

Intellectually, he knew that What Qiao Ping said was reasonable.

Born in a chaotic world, the more you help nature, the better.

Moreover, with Namanoo’s current strength, it is indeed worth wooing.

But for him to accept such a man who was originally his domestic slave as a son-in-law, he felt extremely depressed.

Seeing that Qiao Ping seemed to have to persuade again, he shook his hand in annoyance: “You must be tired, first go and have a good rest.” Let me think about it again.

Qiao Ping knew that this news shook him a lot, and he no longer forced him to retreat.

As soon as Qiao Ping left, Qiao Yue immediately summoned Zhang Pu, and said what he had just learned, and frowned: “How do you think it should be?” Do I recognize this or not?

Zhang Pu was also surprised, and after sighing a few words, he sighed a little and said, “There is a sentence, I don’t know if the Lord’s husband will allow me to talk about it?” “Say

yes!”

Zhang Pu opened the door to look around, saw no one, hid the door firmly, and Fang turned back and whispered, “In my opinion, this is a big thing, the lord must not be introduced into Yanzhou!” “What

do you mean by that?”

“The lord was originally the lord of Yanzhou, and his status was revered, but in the past two or three years, when it comes to Yanzhou, everyone only knows the name of Qiao Ping, the duke of Dongjun County, and the name of the lord, who mentions it? It is the people of Yanzhou, seven or eight times out of ten, who will think of the county first when things happen. The Lord is kind, brotherly, and does not care about worldly falsehood, but I am deeply worried about the Lord. If this continues, the lord is only afraid that his position will be difficult to protect! ”

Qiao Yue’s face was strange and he didn’t say a word.

“It’s not that I have a lot of heart, but there are clues to follow.” The lord remembered that in the past, the female prince returned to the East County, and after leaving, the county prince ignored the lord’s objections to recruiting troops and buying horses. Why? In front of the lord, the county prince said that he was trying to resist foreign insults, but in my opinion, the meaning of the county prince is probably far from being as simple as resisting foreign insults. Now that the effect has begun to appear, the county prince has introduced Biyan back. I had only just listened to the lord’s words, and it was not difficult to know that the county duke had already had private contacts with Biyan. Although Bi Yan was named the son-in-law of the lord, he was actually a member of the county prince. Yanzhou already has a county duke, plus a biyan, and the status of the lord is in the future? Think twice! Zhang Pu’s

words were poking at the unspeakable piece of heart disease that Qiao Yue had buried in his heart for several years.

Cold sweat broke out on the back of the listener: “Fortunately, I asked you!” Otherwise I would have almost lured the wolf into the house!” What you say is very true! Bi Yan is just a lowly man slave, my Qiao family can not tolerate such a son-in-law! My daughter, abandoning her father and abandoning her ancestors, I have long ago been gone, my daughter is gone, and I am still a son-in-law! It’s just…”

He stopped.

“Why doesn’t the lord frown?” Zhang Pu observed the color from the sidelines.

“I thought that my niece married Wei Shao, and Yanzhou would have a dependency in the future.” But he didn’t expect that Wei Shao was now unable to protect himself, so why should he protect Yanzhou? My Joe’s family and Xingxun have always been incompatible. When Xingxun was proclaimed emperor, the world of Kyushu, not my Yanzhou family, did not respond. He did not fight others, and drove Zhou Qun alone to attack Yanzhou, which must be because my Qiao family and Wei Shao were married. My second brother refused to listen to me at that time, and he and Na Xingxun completely tore the skin. Although he had won two battles by chance, he would have to attack in the future. At this time, if I don’t nabiyan and in the future, if I am lucky enough to raise troops to attack again, how should Yanzhou treat itself? He sighed

a long time: “When I first married the Wei family, I originally wanted to rely on many things, and I didn’t want to be involved now, to cause trouble, but to put myself in a dilemma, left and right!”

Zhang Pu said, “What the Lord Gong is worried about is extremely true.” Xingxun declared himself empress dowager, and sent xiong soldiers to recruit Wei Shao. Wei Shao was already at a disadvantage, not to mention that now that Hexun had gained the effect of Le Zhenggong, he was even more powerful. Although the two warring sides are now holding each other on the Yellow River’s hometown, the results of the battle have not yet been achieved, but everyone with eyes knows that Wei Shao’s defeat has been decided, and now it is just a strong crossbow and a strong self-struggle! Qiao Yue

became more and more worried, and he couldn’t sit still, so he got up and walked around the room, sighing long and short.

Zhang Pu watched from the sidelines and suddenly said, “The lord doesn’t have to be so anxious.” Now there is an opportunity to help the lord reverse the disadvantage.

Qiao Yue stopped, turned his head, and said, “What is opportunity?”

Zhang Pu quickly walked to the front of the case and wrote a few words with a pen.

Joe crossed over and glanced at it.

“Liu Yan?”

He was amazed.

“Exactly!” Zhang Pu bowed his head, “In the past, the Langya Shizi who had received the grace of the Qiao family has now been embraced by the people of the world to ascend to the throne of God, and the lord must have heard about it.”

Joe frowned more, “Of course I know.” But so what? What does it have to do with me?

Zhang Pu whispered, “Don’t hide it, Liu Yan lived in Dong County, and I am familiar with him.” A few days earlier, he had sent me a letter and told me to turn it over to the Lord. After

saying that, in Qiao Yue’s astonished gaze, he took out a yellow silk book in his sleeve, and presented it with both hands.

Joe hurriedly took it, unfolded it and read it quickly.

For a moment, my thoughts were so strong that the fingers holding the letter were shaking slightly.

Zhang Pu talked at the side: “Fortunately, Xun xun is notorious, he is called emperor by usurpation, his name is not justified, and sooner or later the world will rise up and attack him.” Liu Yan took advantage of the time and place. Wen you wang ba Dong Cheng, Dou Wu Deng Xun, all of them are heavy ministers Shuo Lao, famous Gong Juqing, Wu has all over the place to go to defect to the Taishou, even Yuan Ochre also embraced him as emperor, strong soldiers Ma Sheng. This battle of the Yellow River will be the watershed of the world. Later Kyushu, it was divided into two. Fortunately, Le Zhenggong occupied the rebellious capital, and Liu Yan led the world as the orthodox Han Emperor. Now because of Wei Shao, the lord has offended Xingxun and there is no way back. However, Liu Yan was grateful for salvation, personally wrote the royal letter, and the high-ranking official Hou Jue was waiting for the vacant position. Only then did I say that this was an opportunity, and the lord thought I was wrong?

Qiao Yue’s eyes gradually emitted a strange light, his hands were behind his back, and he excitedly walked back and forth in the room several times, suddenly remembered, suddenly stopped, and hesitated: “Just, my second brother there…”

“The lord forgot what I just said?” Wei Shao was the son-in-law of the Duke of the County, and the Duke of the County secretly excluded the Duke of the Lord, afraid that he had already had the intention of replacing him, how could the Duke of the County still expect the Duke of the County to work with you? Joe’s

face was a little ugly. Half out of his mind, Fang said, “You also know that this is not what it used to be.” If he doesn’t nod, the family will not necessarily listen to my advice.

Zhang Pu said, “I have a strategy to offer.” The lord may first drive Bi Yan away, and the matter must be decided by the lord. Even if the county duke did not want to, he could not refute it. After expelling Bi Yan, the lord could select his cronies, take advantage of the fact that the county duke was not prepared, restrain him, declare that the county duke was too ill to be a director, and seize the military power in the hands of the county duke, then Yanzhou was returned to the lord’ ownership. At that time, whether it is wind or rain, or does the lord and father have the final say? Joe hesitated

.

“Lord! Mercy does not control the soldiers, no poison is not husband! Hasn’t the lord learned the lesson of his former soft-heartedness, which led to a loss of status? Wei Shao will lose this battle! Once Xingxun destroyed Wei Shao, the spearhead would again be pointed at Yanzhou. If the lord hesitated any longer and missed the opportunity for Liu Yan’s protection, he was afraid that the century-old foundation of Yanzhou would be destroyed! Besides, the lord did not take the life of the county duke, but only restrained him, so why did the lord not decide?

Qiao Yue snorted, gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and nodded, “Just as you said!”

Zhang Pu was overjoyed and bowed down: “The Lord is wise! Liu Yan’s talents are rough, the world returns to his heart, and he will be the lord of The Han Dynasty. The Lord holds the merits of support, glory and wealth, and is at his fingertips! ”

……

March Shuo, crescent like a hook.

Above the endless wilderness of Makino, the cold spring is still steep, covering the thick snow of a long winter and not completely melting.

But between the crevices and the crevices, the moss has quietly returned to green.

The wind reverberated day and night in the wilderness, chanting, and seemed to no longer carry a biting chill, and if you closed your eyes, you might still be able to smell some spring breeze.

This spring of Makino, although it is late, has finally arrived.

Just a few days after Le Zhenggong withdrew, Xingxun, who had been facing Wei Shao for several months, could no longer hold back, and at this dark dawn, the soldiers divided into three routes, along the Yellow River’s hometown road, in a crushing posture, and launched a comprehensive attack on the enemy camp opposite.

Wei Shao’s entire army had already been armoured and waiting in a strict position.

The horns make a low, heart-pounding, long horn sound.

A great battle doomed to bleeding hills began.

The great battle was intermittent and lasted for three days.

More than a thousand years ago, on this land called Makino, there was a war that also lost the color of the heavens and the earth, and the sun and the moon were lost.

After that war, someone created an eight-hundred-year-old prosperity in the name of a generation of holy kings and won a glorious reputation.

Some people have disgraced the curtain from the history books in disgraceful ways.

Humanity is a success into a thousand bones, the situation of the country and the mountains, the rivers and mountains?

The war spirits buried underground, which had been buried for more than a thousand years, seemed to be awakened again by blood and swords, groaning and shouting, breaking out of the dark world.

The dragon fights in the wild, and its blood is yellow.

The wind and clouds are angry, and the gods and ghosts are weeping.

The sergeants attacked with all their might, drinking blood.

The fleshy body is no longer fleshy.

The only thought that remained was that his eyes were red, wrapped in blood, he was in charge of the sword, gun, sword, and chariot, and followed the banner ahead.

Kill, kill, kill!

……

Le Zhenggong led a large army, crossed the frozen Yellow River with a boat bridge, and then rushed day and night, hating that he could not rush back to Liangzhou with his wings.

On this day’s march, it was finally about to reach Mount Hua, but gradually it felt wrong.

Along the way, there was no trace of the march of the army.

Ask the passers-by in the village market town, but they are also confused that there are large armies passing by recently.

Le Zhenggong hesitated, at this time, the vanguard spies sent in front of him finally returned quickly, and another message from his eldest son, Le Zhengkai, came.

The Grand Duke said that after the previous intelligence was probed, it was finally proved that it was not a false alarm. Yang Xin Guo Quan led only 5,000 men and horses in total, and when he reached the pass, he bluffed and pretended to attack. A few days ago, he had been defeated by his son’s leadership, and it was not enough to be troubled. Please father do not have to return to the army, and concentrate on cutting Wei Shao.

Le Zhenggong was stunned.

One turned around and immediately ordered someone to pass on Rong Yan.

However, he was told that Rong Yan was no longer where to go.

Le Zhenggong finally realized, shouted deceived, immediately ordered a U-turn, and quickly returned to the army to rush to Makino.

But it was too late.

Three days later, on his way to the Yellow River, he received a message that made his heart break and his heart hurt unspeakable: March Shuo, Wei Shao yu Muye, defeated Xingxun.

……

At the end of last year, when Xingxun crossed the Yellow River and began the Northern Expedition, he commanded a mighty 500,000 people and horses.

Makino fought a battle and vanished.

When he fled back to Luoyang, there were less than 100,000 remnants.

The rest of the men and horses were either killed or wounded, or scattered, or surrendered.

Wei Shao won.

Not only did he win Emperor Dajiang, but he also won Le Zhenggong.

Le Zhenggong sat on the back of Huang Biao’s BMW, his eyes widened, and he faced the direction of Makino in the north of the Yellow River, without making a sound for a long time.

People seem to have solidified into stone statues.

His son Le Zhengjun and a cadre of generals knelt in front of his horse, uneasy.

Le Zhengjun had never seen his father show such a strange expression in his life.

Like sadness, like anger, and crying, and like laughing.

In the past, even if he had suffered a big defeat, he would never feel as angry as this moment.

“Father—”

he called tentatively.

Le Zhenggong finally returned to God.

He withdrew his gaze from the north.

“Back to Hanzhong.”

He gave an order in a calm tone. Then he turned the horse’s head and slowly let the horse move forward.

After taking more than ten steps, he suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood, planted his head on horseback, and the person fainted on the spot.

……

In the late spring of Yuyang, the wind is gentle and the grass is long and the warblers fly.

Everything is thriving.

In the early morning, when the first rays of the morning sun shone into the window of the delivery room, a crisp baby fell to the ground and cried, and Little Joe gave birth smoothly.

……

In November last year, Wei Shao sent troops to the Yellow River, and soon Xiao Qiao’s fetus had been stabilized, and he returned to Yuyang safely.

In the interval between deliveries, she also successively learned about Wei Shao’s combat situation along the Yellow River, and Lady Xu never hid anything because she was pregnant. Whether the news is good or bad.

Since her man was destined not to be willing to be ordinary, as his wife, he must always be prepared to bear the consequences of good or bad.

Although Mrs. Xu hadn’t said that to her, Xiao Qiao understood this.

This must have been the wisdom that the old woman had gained from her half-life experience.

Little Joe is also very grateful for this.

Because she wanted to know too.

For the first time in his life, he and the child in his womb seemed to accompany Wei Shao through this extraordinary and long war.

From the unfavorable at the beginning, step by step reversed, until finally, finally the soldiers pointed to Luoyang.

After capturing Luoyang, Wei Shao could return.

When he returned, he was greeted by their daughter, who had been incarnated.

……

From the midwife’s hand, Madame Xu carefully took the small soft body wrapped in swaddling and stared for a long time at her small face with her eyes tightly closed.

Although she had just separated from her mother’s body, she already had long eyelashes, dark fetal hair, and young skin glowing with beautiful jade under the sunlight.

“What a cute, beautiful child!”

Madame Xu hugged her and whispered happily, her voice revealing heartfelt joy and joy.

“Ancient Huoshan, there are spirit beasts, known as Phi Phi, and it is worrying to raise them.” This child, the nickname is Philippe.
Madame
Xu smiled at Little Joe.
