Live as the emperor

Chapter 85 The Battle of the Wild Grass Slope

Becoming a prince, will he be far from the throne?
When you become a prince, there is no king in the world.

If you can't become a prince, everything has nothing to do with you, and you may be targeted in various ways, and if you are not careful, you will lose your life.

These are two extremes, ice and fire.

But then again, if you want to be a prince, you must perform well in front of Chen Ang, so that he can see that you are qualified to be a prince.At present, the best way is to accumulate military exploits and bring out your brave side on the battlefield.

From this point of view, he must destroy Chen Guo. This is what Chen Ang hopes to see, and it is also a bargaining chip for Chen Guang to become the crown prince.Under this premise, the cruelty of war seems to have been left behind by him.Anyway, if you don't hit others, you will hit others, so why don't you take it down yourself?

Presumably the most unfair thing is those ordinary people, they are the victims anyway.

The fire outside was burning bigger and bigger, Chen Guang asked Hong Jiang to send people to put out the fire, and at the same time to promote his policies in the city.

After becoming a citizen of the Qian State, you can be exempted from paying taxes for one year.

This is the most important point. Although the exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes in ancient times were not as numerous as they are now, they were large in quantity. To produce a hundred catties of rice, you would have to pay thirty to forty catties in taxes. The food harvested by the people may not be enough to fill their stomachs, but after the tax is exempted, at least they can eat more. The benefits are visible.

Still the same sentence, attacking the heart is the top, and attacking the city is the bottom.

The streets and alleys in the city are covered with leaflets exempting next year's taxes, simple and rude.In fact, Chen Guang thought about finding a group of people to give speeches everywhere to confuse people's hearts, but this time all the people he brought out were soldiers, and few could read, let alone be able to take on the important task of making speeches.

The army of the Qian Kingdom dispatched a lot of people to put out the fire. After all, this is a hilly area with lush trees and hot weather. Once the fire is burning, it is not so easy to put it out.Fortunately, there were a large number of troops in the Qian Kingdom, and there was a modern person like Chen Guang, so they had a lot of fun with the isolation zone and other plans. Finally, it took three days to completely extinguish the fire.

They had been delayed in Huizhong City for several days. By the time the team came out of Huizhong City and continued towards the capital of Chen State, it was already the third month since Chen Guang left Qian State.

Summer has passed, the leaves are starting to turn yellow, and there seems to be a bleak atmosphere in the world.Chen Guang likes this season very much. Although it seems to be very suitable for parting, the advantage is that there are many things to eat, especially for those who are marching outside. At this time, there are wild fruits to eat, which can be regarded as benefits along the way.For example, a few days ago, Chen Guang found a forest that grew a fruit that looked like longan, but it tasted very good, and he didn't know its name.

On this day, they had just crossed a mountain range and walked in a relatively flat wilderness.

"What's ahead?" Chen Guang asked.

"The place in front is called Weed Slope. The local people say that the weeds here grow very vigorously, and no matter how you clean them, they will grow quickly, so it has such a name." Hong Jiang said.

What an ugly name.Chen Guang muttered something in his heart, and then said: "Wild fires can't burn out, but spring breeze blows and they grow again. Things that grow naturally, why bother with them?"

There has never been a person named Bai Juyi in this era, and naturally no one knows such a simple but philosophical line.

The so-called philosophy, Chen Guang's understanding is some useless nonsense said in a very literary way.

"His Royal Highness King Jin is right, it's just that the people are stupid." Hong Jiang said.

Sure enough, there are a lot of weeds on the weed slope. It is a mound, but it is very large, and the gentle upward slope seems to extend to the horizon.The wild grass is almost as tall as a person, and when the wind blows, it sways like a wave.

There are a few thatched huts not far away, which are very simple, but despite this, the scenery, coupled with this place, has a taste of "building a hut in a human environment without the noise of cars and horses".

The place is good, but no one appreciates it. All the sentiments are pastime after eating and drinking, but now 90.00% of the people are struggling on the line of food and clothing - in order to feed the one percent of the privileged class .

"How far is it from here to Chen Guo's capital?" Chen Guang asked.It's already autumn, and before the new year, the country of Chen must be brought down, and then the troops will return to the court.

You know, although the crown prince has been abolished, there is no new crown prince. The task in the live broadcast room clearly shows that Chen Guang will become the crown prince within a year, otherwise he will be wiped out by the system.

Although Chen Guang still couldn't figure out how the system would kill him, he didn't dare to risk himself. Although it sounded sci-fi, what if it was true?It's better not to try to challenge the authenticity of the live broadcast room.

"Crossing the wild grass slope, there is Daxing City in front of it. After passing Daxing City, it will be their capital." Hong Jiang said.

Chen Guang did some calculations, and based on this, it would take at most half a month to capture the capital of Chen State. By that time, Chen State would be completely included in the territory of Qian State.Then he hurriedly returned to the court to fight for the position of crown prince. It seemed that it was not too late.

Well, it's such a happy decision, finish the fight quickly and go home to be the prince.

Chen Guang was thinking about this, but Hong Jiang suddenly shouted: "His Royal Highness, be careful."

Chen Guang shivered suddenly, and was about to ask what happened, so he flew a feathered arrow right at him. He broke out in a cold sweat, tilted his whole body, fell off the horse, and the feathered arrow flew to the back Go and kill an unsuspecting soldier.

The horn sounded, and Hong Jiang shouted: "Enemy attack, enemy attack..."

The Qianguo army on the march was caught off guard by the sudden attack, and their formation was thrown into chaos.

From the other side of the mountain, or perhaps from the grass, an unknown number of feather arrows flew out, and the sun in the sky seemed to be blocked.

The soldiers hurriedly used the shields in their hands to block.But this shield is not owned by everyone, most people are directly exposed within the range of this arrow.

There were screams one after another, and many people fell down in a blink of an eye. The situation seemed to be back to a few days ago, but now the offensive and defensive sides have exchanged.

Chen Guang knew that he had lost the ability to start a group first. Facing the menacing Chen Jun, he chose to retreat and temporarily avoid the edge.After Hong Jiang fully understood what Chen Guang meant, he hurriedly ordered to retreat.

It was the first time since the Qianguo army retreated since it set off.

However, it is not so easy for so many to retreat, and there will be a lot of delay in scheduling.

But the opponent will not give you this time to adjust.

"Come on..."

"Kill..."

Suddenly there was a roaring sound ahead, followed by a rustling sound in the grass, and then many people emerged from the grass.

Since this period of time, Chen Jun has been suppressed and beaten by Qian Guo's army. He has been aggrieved for too long, and now he finally has an opportunity to avenge his revenge. Chen Jun is like a chicken blood. With knives, guns and sticks in their hands, they all started to rush over.

Seeing this scene, Chen Guang also lost his temper. Encounter?Alright, I'm not going to quit today, let's fight openly!
"Don't go, what the hell, call brothers, kill!" Chen Guang roared angrily.

Hong Jiang didn't say anything, he was bullied before his eyes, so what if he didn't fight back?Hit as soon as you fight, the word escape is not in the military dictionary of our Dagan country!
"Kill..." Since you are not going to run away, let's fight, the army of our Dagan country, are you still afraid of you, a little Chen country?

Seeing his companions fall beside him also aroused everyone's blood. Soldiers are not afraid of trouble. If you want to do it, then do it.

As a result, the two sides encountered each other like this, and the originally quiet weed slope became noisy, with shouts of killing and howling one after another.

The pale yellow weeds, stained with bright red blood, were dyed a dark red color as they swayed in the wind.

The two sides started a hand-to-hand fight, and as time went by, everyone's eyes were red, and under the swing of the big knife, arms and thighs flew around, which was very tragic.

Chen Guang had already drawn out his sword, intending to rush forward, but was held back by Hong Jiang.

"His Royal Highness, it's dangerous."

Although they were attacked by surprise, the people who protected Chen Guang were still well-founded and kept Chen Guang in the middle.

Looking at the battle ahead, Chen Guang was a little eager to try, and said, "Go up and kill, what are you waiting here for?"

Hong Jiang said: "It is my duty to protect His Royal Highness King Jin."

Chen Guang said: "I want you to protect something, I want to go up and kill the enemy."

"Absolutely not."

No matter what Chen Guang said, Hong Jiang would not let him go to the front, and Chen Guang had no choice but to watch under heavy protection.

The battle lasted for a quarter of an hour. Chen Guo had a lot of troops, plus he was the first to attack, and he also occupied the commanding heights, which could effectively suppress the Qian Guo's army.

As time went by, Qianguo's army seemed to be unable to resist, so Hong Jiang ordered to retreat.The so-called enemy advances and we retreat is exactly the fine tradition of our army.

Chen Guang retreated under heavy protection and retreated down the grass slope. The entire hillside was now blood red, and the Qianguo army suffered heavy losses.
