Flying through the starry night, several months had passed. Uncle Yan, who was trapped in Yancheng, sent seven calls for help. The princes from all sides in the northern Xinjiang responded in different ways. The princes, such as Tantai and other princes whose sons had returned, immediately sent troops to gather on the outskirts of Chongcheng to prepare for emergencies. need. Most of the princes were silent and did not respond.
Perhaps this was Yuan Futong's purpose of using Jingren as bait. The pain of losing a son caused the princes from all sides to drop their respect for Chongcheng from respect to suspicion, especially when Chonghou had not yet returned.
The general who defended the city, Mei Fang, did not dare to send troops to rescue Yancheng. At this moment, Chongcheng had a hundred thousand soldiers. Who else will come to save Chongcheng when an accident occurs?
Fortunately, on his way back, Chonghou had already let the messenger go first. The various orders were not only issued by the identity of Chonghou, but also borrowed the name of the second prince in Chaoge City. It belongs to Yin Shang and Bei Bohou to jointly convene an alliance of princes. Only then did the princes from all sides follow suit and reluctantly formed an alliance.
Tantai and other troops who had already gathered outside Chongcheng in advance immediately set off to rush for reinforcements the moment Wang ordered them to arrive. It can be regarded as restoring some order to the chaotic Northern Xinjiang.
Everyone has an arrangement and does his or her own thing.
Only Mengchang was detained in the post house for a month before he finally met the person who wanted to see him. The Beibei Hou Chonghou Hu, who had galloped all the way from Dongyi and brought the elite of Chongcheng back.
"Snapped!"
The heavy whip struck Meng Chang's body, leaving traces of blood. The Chonghou Tiger Man lived up to his name, with thick black and white beards, like a calm and powerful tiger.
Under the gaze of the black and white tiger, Mengchang said nothing, knelt on one knee and looked at Chonghou Tiger coldly.
"What? Not convinced?"
"No, General Luan gave up his horse. I remember this feeling."
It's okay not to mention Chong Yingluan. As soon as he mentioned this name, veins popped out on Chonghou Hu's head, and the whip came over again and again.
"I asked you to take the credit, so it's better for you to be a hero. Honor, honor, honor, is it worth a life?"
"Tiger father and dog son, tiger father and dog son, I have lost many battles in my life, but have any lost their lives like you?"
"You don't care what other people think, why don't you believe me? Why can't I fix it if something goes wrong? Are you the only one who can?"
Chonghou Hu's eyes widened and he was so angry that he whipped and threw away the whip. He was so angry that he smashed tables and kicked cabinets in the post house. After his anger subsided a little, he sat upright and looked at the young man in the hall.
"You are still a man. You have been beaten so many times without saying a word. Are you angry if I hit you?"
"Yes, but not much. If I can come back, I should take your whipping for him."
Chonghou Hu sighed and reached out to help Meng Chang up.
"If you were timid, cowardly, and afraid, I would really have killed you just now. I can't accept the son I love most in exchange for a loser. I have asked other people, and I can roughly understand Ying Luan's thoughts. , that you can have this kind of character shows that this kid sees people correctly."
"Come on, use whatever ability you have, I allow you to take revenge on me now." Chonghou Hu waved his hand and threw a copper sword over, holding a shield behind his back, signaling Meng Chang to attack.
Mengchang hesitated for a moment, then understood, took the bronze sword, opened it directly at the sacrifice of blood, and slashed through with a mountain-breaking slash.
I'm not angry, but I feel pain.
A huge force came with a heat wave. Chonghouhu's eyes were focused, and the hand holding the shield suddenly rose up to actively welcome the arrival of the sword. Then he pressed down and tilted the shield slightly, and with the help of the force, he directly slashed with the shield. It hit Mengchang. Under the shield attack, Meng Chang felt an even more powerful force and flew directly out, hitting the wall for three seconds before sliding down.
pain!
Mengchang felt as if his internal organs were about to be smashed into pieces. I still took it for granted. It turned out that I used the skill to kill Jingren like a chicken and a dog. I thought that in front of ordinary people in this era, I was like Guan Yu killing Hua Xiong. But now I really woke up. There is someone outside the world.
"The strength is good and the speed is very fast, but the skills are too poor. It's not a big problem to deal with miscellaneous fish with wide opening and closing. But you have to know your strengths, otherwise you won't be able to go two rounds if you meet a real elite."
"Your ability has great drawbacks. When you take action, your energy and blood surge, and your murderous intent doubles. The target is too obvious. There are many veterans on the battlefield who can feel your energy and murderous intent. You will continue to do so in the future. You need to train more, strike quickly and accurately, calm down your expression, and suddenly exert force in a silent place. On the battlefield, you have to make faces for whatever reason, and you have to pay attention to the surprise when you strike."
Chonghou Hu stroked the three-quarter sword mark on the shield and couldn't help but chuckle when he looked at Meng Chang who was lying on the ground doubting his life.
"But don't be discouraged. The two armies are facing each other and charging into battle. This is an excellent ability. The more you kill, the stronger you become. He is truly a born killer."
"Tomorrow the army will set off, so you can obey my orders under my tent. Go to Yancheng and meet these daring rebels for a while."
————————————————————————————
Winter has passed and spring has arrived.
The farmers in Chongcheng watched worriedly as their lord sent out troops again, with sorrow in their hearts.
Since the Wu Ding period, Chongcheng has been the largest recruiting ground for the Yin and Shang Dynasties. The hereditary marquis of Chongcheng has been fighting endlessly for years and has never lost. However, in recent years, it has become more frequent. Even the locals in Chongcheng who have long been accustomed to wars, I also started to worry.
A few years ago, just after defeating Guifang, he had another battle with Rongdi. Then came the Qiong rebellion. Before he could catch his breath, he had another battle with Xiqi. If Chaoge hadn't intervened, Chongcheng would have been really defeated. It's so difficult. In the past few years, he has finally been able to recover and recuperate. Not long ago, he lost the young talents of the princes and nobles in the hands of Beihai. It can be said that it has been a bad year.
Although heroes emerge in troubled times, many of the children who left home and never returned are the bones of heroic stories. These children are all their relatives, friends and descendants.
The army was huge, and countless people came to see off their relatives. This was also the custom for Chongcheng to go on an expedition. Meng Chang saw his elderly father Meng Xiong. Since returning to Chongcheng, he has been under house arrest in the post house and has not been able to talk to his family. After obtaining the consent of the pro-military captain Zhuo Shou, Meng Chang patted his horse and walked toward the crowd.
Meng Xiong is an old soldier, and he is a familiar old man in the entire pro-military camp. He himself became a military prince by relying on his military exploits. Each of his military exploits allowed him to build a family fortune from his humble beginnings. Marrying a wife and having children, he knows the cruelty of war, and he also knows that only war can allow ordinary people to quickly get up the ladder. Although he was worried about Meng Chang, he did not have a long-term love for his children.
"Good boy, how long has it been since Nai Weng lost his sight of the bronze skin armor and actually put on the beast shoulder bag of the Marquis's camp? Good boy, hahaha, he is indeed my son."
The younger sister Meng Yu, who was being held by Meng Xiong, stretched out her hands to hug her second brother who always loved her.
Mengchang's tense nerves felt extremely relaxed at this moment. No matter which life it is, family is the warmest harbor and bond. Meng Chang ignored his father's preaching to the young girl, picked up Meng Yu, and took a sip amidst the little girl's giggling resistance.
"Hahaha, Dad, why aren't eldest brother and mother here?"
Meng Xiong liked this feeling of family harmony very much. As he got older, he became less murderous and more tender. Meng Xiong gently patted his second son on the back: "Your mother's health has not been good since the winter. I So I didn’t let her come. Your eldest brother announced his marriage at the end of the year, and his in-laws are big businessmen from Chaoge City. In order not to be disliked by his in-laws, your eldest brother Xuerong followed the caravan to Donglu."
"Dongyi rebelled, and the prince personally conquered it. Why did the eldest brother go to Donglu? Besides, Chongcheng has not been able to live well in the past two years. There is no strength in the family. What if something happens?" Meng Chang was a little unhappy with his eldest brother. His parents were there. If you don’t travel far, you must travel wisely. I went to Jindonglu for a woman. He was different. He went to war against his family's call-up order. If he didn't come, his father and eldest brother would come.
Meng Xiong knocked Meng Chang's head hard: "Nai Weng is not old yet, he can still gnaw bones and eat marrow. Good men have ambitions in all directions. I am still very strong now. If you two brothers don't go to make contributions, why are you guarding me?" ?”
"Besides, you can only make money by fighting in Donglu. Going to Donglu is much safer than conquering Beihai. You should worry more about yourself."
Meng Chang didn't say much. In fact, he knew in his heart that he had finally benefited from the glory of the times. He had been a descendant for two generations. He was successful in studying literature and martial arts at home. His eldest brother also worked hard, but he seemed to be under his background. It's very ordinary. My brother, who is four or five years younger than me, can push me to the ground and beat me. I have been holding my breath in my heart. He is appreciated by noble people and has the opportunity to go out and see the world. Naturally, I don't want to watch my brother make achievements. Be an ordinary farmer at home.
Mengchang also thought about teaching his eldest brother some skills for future generations. Whether it was business or writing, he still had some writing skills, but he underestimated human nature.
The more he taught, the unhappy his eldest brother became. The more he wanted his eldest brother to do something, the more his eldest brother would do the opposite, and he would stop struggling later, which in turn eased the relationship with his eldest brother.
Mengchang took out a bag of golden beans that Chonghou compensated him from his arms, and handed it to Meng Xiong: "My son is away, and Chonghou supports him for food and accommodation. He doesn't have much external wealth. Dad, take it home and give it to me." Xiaoyu bought some dowry in advance and also helped my mother to take care of herself."
There were dim gold nuggets scattered in the cloth bag. Meng Xiong picked out half of it and put it into his pocket, then pushed the other half back.
"There is a drought at home and the harvest is not good. I only take half. You are now a military prince. It is time to spend money. Don't be stingy with money. Give what you should give to the next. These are all brothers who can save lives. To the right You also need to do more and don’t be stingy.”
"Okay, the military formation has gone far. Go quickly and follow Chonghou to kill the enemy bravely. When you come back, Naiwen will hunt a deer for you to celebrate."
The surrounding soldiers had already said their goodbyes and returned to the formation. Meng Chang had no choice but to put down Meng Yu, give his father a big hug, then got on his horse and returned to the formation.
Meng Xiong looked at the retreating figure, covered Meng Yu's eyes, and quickly wiped the corners of his eyes: "You brat, be safe!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Xiong had already taken his daughter's hand and shouted proudly: "Hey, Meng Laosan, did your son leave you anything? What? Just a few sword coins? This is not good, your son Meng Zhu Chang'er is four years older than me, and I am already a military lord."
"Gunqiu, you blind fool, your son's ability is none of your business. Haven't you spent your whole life just to become a military lord? Your son is much better than you."
"Hey, Nai Weng is happy, which means Nai Weng is a good breeder."
"Blind Xiong, who do you call Naiweng?"
"I call you Nai Weng."
"..."
"Special brew, Nai Weng will beat you to death today."
