Chapter 958 The Great Yan Twin Jewels!

Tian Tian picked up a brush and wrote the characters "Tian" (Heaven) and "Di" (Earth) on either side of the red stone.

"All done, Brother, here you go."

Chen Xianba reached out and took the red stone, then looked at Tian Tian's face standing before him.

This younger brother,

Was still too innocent.

Dangerous things, it was better for the older brother to do. If something really happened to you, even though the battlefield is merciless, the Prince could understand and would certainly not punish me, but how would I face the Prince in the future?

"Little Brother, watch closely, no regrets allowed."

"No regrets."

"Toss!"

Chen Xianba tossed the red stone into the air; the stone began to tumble, rising and falling.

Finally,

"Bang!"

It landed on the ground,

The character "Tian" facing up.

"..." Chen Xianba.

Tian Tian walked over, picked up the stone, and smiled. "Brother, it's me. No take-backs, no joking in the army."

Chen Xianba's face twitched unnaturally. He curiously scrutinized Tian Tian, then the red stone.

But, a bet was a bet. He had originally planned to cheat, so what qualifications did he have to say anything, even if there was something fishy?

"Vice Commander."

"At your service."

"This doesn't even count as a proper scene, so we'll definitely win. If we can't even pacify this small Sansuo Prefecture, your brother and I would really be embarrassed to continue in the J Eastern Army."

"Indeed."

Tian Tian reached out and was wiping the character on the stone.

He had written on Big Sister, he needed to wipe it off quickly.

"Why are you still holding onto that stone?"

"This stone has good luck. I'll use it as a talisman."

"Alright."

Chen Xianba reached out and patted Tian Tian's shoulder. "I won't be so reserved. Originally, I thought, in our generation of the J Eastern Army, Liu Dahu has always been by the Prince's side, Zheng Man that guy is still narrow-minded. I thought that the next generation, the Prince would have to rely on me to shoulder the heavy burden. Now, there's one more of you."

"Brother, there are still many talents in our army."

"Those guys, I don't think much of any of them."

"Alright."

"It's imposing to shoulder the heavy burden alone, but sometimes it can be tiring. So, it's still better to have twin jewels. At least there's always time to take a break."

"Brother, you've been listening to a lot of storytelling these last few years, haven't you?"

"Hahahaha."

Chen Xianba laughed for a long time, then calmed down and said, "Little Brother, it's a shame you weren't born in the Chu or Qian Kingdoms. At least I'd have a rival. Unlike now, everything looks like a bunch of useless desserts."

Tian Tian scratched his head.

In that dream,

He had indeed fulfilled that idea of Ba-ge.

"Hey, say, if we were born in two different countries, and fought on the battlefield, who would win in the end?"

Tian Tian blinked.

Brother,

You would probably be stabbed to death by me.

"Brother, please don't ask these strange questions."

"Forget it, forget it, what's the point of thinking about that? Since this little Sansuo Prefecture still wants to stir up trouble, then your brother and I will thoroughly clean them up this time,

To let the world know,

To let the Prince see,

Just what level of skill your brother and I possess."

"Got it!"

Chen Xianba turned and left to reorganize his troops.

Tian Tian then gently tapped his own silver armor, which had been repaired by Uncle Xue San. The mirror on the chest opened, revealing a hollow space. Tian Tian placed the red stone in front of him and whispered:

"Thank you, Big Sister."

After expressing his gratitude,

Tian Tian placed the magic pearl inside and snapped the chest mirror back into place.

Actually,

Tian Tian wasn't worried that the magic pearl would deliberately turn out the "Earth" side in order to protect him.

This Big Sister, who had taken care of him growing up, loved and cared about him, but Big Sister wasn't a hen fiercely guarding her chicks.

Most importantly,

Big Sister herself also liked to play.

Tian Tian reached out and touched the chest mirror again,

Talking to himself:

"Big Sister raised me, just so I could play with you, Big Sister, right?"

…

The Yan army,

Continued westward, but at a slower pace. Still, on the third day, they entered Wufeng Mountain, twenty li east of Sansuo Prefecture's city.

Wufeng Mountain was originally a Taoist mountain, with both Buddhist temples and Taoist temples on the mountain. It was a place where people near the prefectural city often went to pray to the gods and worship Buddha.

After the Yan army entered, most of the monks and Taoists on the mountain fled.

This was also a very normal thing. Although there was a Gourd Temple outside Fengxin City, it was really the only temple in all of J Eastern.

The rest of the unorthodox people who dared to enter the territory of J Eastern were basically packaged and sent to the snow plains to contribute to the spiritual development of the snow plain barbarians.

As a result, the J Eastern Army had a very bad reputation in the circles of monks and Taoists. Even bandits and outlaws would at least maintain basic courtesy when encountering monks and Taoists, but the Prince's Mansion of J Eastern had none.

It didn't matter that the monks and Taoists ran away. As the saying goes, the monk can run away, but the temple can't run away, and this saying really came true here.

The Yan soldiers searched through the temples and Taoist temples, finding several hidden grain caves. Gold, silver, and jewelry that were easy to carry were certainly taken away when they fled, but grain was either not hoarded, or it was hoarded in large quantities. It was really impossible to transfer it in a short time, so they could only hide it.

The amount of stored grain eliminated the Yan army's shortage of food all at once. Everyone could eat their fill and still have a surplus.

In these two days, many people noticed that there seemed to be fewer cavalry in the army. Also, even their commander was gone.

The Yan soldiers didn't think much about it, but the local clan children who had become sworn brothers with Chen Xianba along the way clearly noticed a different feeling.

As the vice commander, Tian Tian issued an order to search after the army entered Wufeng Mountain. After the search was completed, he ordered almost all the laborers and auxiliary soldier camps to rely on the terrain to build up an offensive posture.

Inside the Great Hero Hall,

Tian Tian was holding a memorial presented to him by the scribe.

Two auxiliary soldiers named Qin had just discovered two more hiding places, which unexpectedly contained many military equipment.

Sansuo Prefecture was adjacent to Shanggu Prefecture and was considered to be on the edge of the war. The lives of the people here were actually very ordinary. Otherwise, Qu Peiluo would not have been able to absorb so many refugees with the Chu Character Camp in previous years.

But the monks and Taoists lived very well and also understood the importance of self-protection.

However, when the real Yan army arrived, the monks did not take up arms to resist the "bandits," but very decisively chose to not resist and "become monks" and flee.

The Yan army didn't really care much about these weapons and armor. It was no exaggeration to say that the J Eastern Army's military equipment was the best in all of Xia.

However, arrows and other such things were still better to have more of. Arrows played a big role in defense and were consumed quickly.

"Pass down the order to distribute the military equipment to the labor camp, and then, give these two Qin auxiliaries a first-class merit."

"Yes!"

"Wait a minute, Qin, why does that sound familiar?"

"Has Your Highness forgotten? Back in Zhennan Pass, you punished a young master of the Hailan Tribe according to military law. The cause was that the young master, not knowing what was good for him, bullied someone."

"Oh? Is it them?"

Tian Tian had written a defense memorial to his father afterward, using their surnames.

"That's right. These two brothers have been saying in the military camp that Your Highness was brave and upright back then."

"Heh heh."

Tian Tian smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, pass down the order, and then invite those people here. Aren't they clamoring to see the commander?"

"Yes!"

Tian Tian pulled up a chair and sat down. Behind him was a Buddha statue.

Sitting on the chair, Tian Tian was serious at first, and then a little uncomfortable.

Why did Chen Xianba like to discuss with him: Does this look like the Prince?

The essence was… the two brothers actually had the same interests and hobbies, and had a common language.

Tian Tian actually admired his father more than Chen Xianba did. As a son, imitating his father was an instinct.

It's just that,

Tian Tian had been trying, but he couldn't imitate it.

Just like after landing on the shore, he wanted to learn from his father and shout before the battle, but he could only silently eat sachima.

Tian Tian didn't want to think that,

Because he wasn't his biological son, he couldn't imitate it.

After all, sometimes he also felt that Chen Xianba's imitation in some places was very good, very similar.

There was no reason why he couldn't imitate him!

Tian Tian opened his chest mirror and took out the magic pearl.

"Big Sister, if Father was here, what would he do?"

The magic pearl floated out of the stone, "looking" at Tian Tian.

"Big Sister, teach me what to do. If it was Father, what should I do now?"

Tian Tian asked a second time.

The magic pearl floating there didn't understand…

Why do you want to imitate him?

What's so good about imitating him?

Most importantly,

The magic pearl always remembered that under the jade plate city, Zheng Fan ordered the killing of prisoners and then walked along the river with floating corpses for psychological change, while Jing Nanwang followed behind Zheng Fan to protect the law…

That time, the magic pearl also appeared to watch over him, and it was also the first time it was completely presented in front of Tian Wujing, facing Tian Wujing's gaze directly. That time, the impression on the magic pearl was extremely profound.

So,

In the magic pearl's opinion,

You should just sit there properly and learn from your biological father, why do you have to learn from that troublesome person?

However, the magic pearl was soft-hearted after all, at least when facing the child it had taken care of growing up, it was difficult to refuse.

Tian Tian sat there,

The stone floated over to help him correct his sitting posture and make detailed adjustments.

After a while,

Tian Tian crossed his legs,

His left hand supported his chin, and his whole body leaned against the chair.

Tian Tian also adjusted his expression according to his memory, trying to put on the kind of half-smiling expression that his father liked.

"Thank you, Big Sister."

The magic pearl flew back to the chest mirror non-stop, slipping away…

The eighteen "Chu brothers" of Chen Xianba walked into the Great Hero Hall at this time.

They originally thought they would see Chen Xianba, but they didn't expect that only the Prince was sitting inside.

The prince was sitting lazily in the chair, and his image formed an extremely strong visual impact with the Buddha statue behind him.

Mainly for these local powerful children, whether it was the identity of the Prince of Jingnan or the identity of the eldest son of the Regent, they were all existences that they, these small fries, needed to look up to.

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

The eighteen people knelt down together.

Tian Tian didn't say anything.

Several of the eighteen people subconsciously wanted to stand up. Usually in the army, the greeting was just a formality, but after standing up halfway, they found that the person on the chair didn't say "rise," and even closed his eyes.

"This…"

Those who had just stood up halfway could only kneel back down again.

After a long time,

Tian Tian still had his eyes closed,

Only his fingers were still tapping on the armrest.

"Do…"

"Do…"

"Do…"

Many times, some things are like knitting a sweater, difficult at the beginning. Once the beginning is good, then the rest can be knitted smoothly.

Tian Tian opened his eyes.

He only remembered one of the eighteen people kneeling there, surnamed Zhou, named Zhou Feng.

Because he had a big mole on the corner of his mouth, and also because he had suggested to Chen Xianba that his wife was very good at it and wanted to share her with Chen Xianba.

Chen Xianba had once told Tian Tian about it as a joke, so Tian Tian had the deepest impression of him.

He couldn't even call out the names of the others.

But it didn't matter, remembering one was enough.

"We are about to be surrounded." Tian Tian said, "The Sansuo Prefecture soldiers will, at the latest tonight, surround Wufeng Mountain, where we are."

As soon as these words came out, the group of people kneeling on the ground looked stunned.

"Sigh."

Tian Tian sighed,

And continued:

"It's not that this Prince looks down on you Chu people, it's just that you Chu people... are too useless. The Emperor of Chu is clearly aware of avoiding the limelight in front of my father, why do these clowns in the local area always think they can rely on their few pieces of meat to try to bite us?

You've also seen that Xianba is not in Wufeng Mountain. Where did he go?

He went to call for reinforcements."

Tian Tian yawned, looking very sleepy:

"Landing on the Wei River, this Prince personally led the Prince's brocade-clad personal guards to defeat the personal soldiers and horses of King Dingqin, Xiong Tingshan, of Chu;

This time,

It was also my father who wanted to train this Prince, so he let me and Xianba go west together to conquer cities and seize land, to gain military achievements.

However,

My father is just worried about me, afraid that I'm too young and don't know the importance of things, and even more afraid that I'm young and impulsive and something might happen.

Therefore,

Behind our army, there has always been a team of my J Eastern iron cavalry following, not many, only thirty thousand."

Thirty thousand J Eastern iron cavalry…

The crowd kneeling on the ground looked at each other. It seemed like not many, but it should be known that on the battlefield, how many Chu soldiers' lives would be needed to fill thirty thousand J Eastern iron cavalry?

Following Tian Tian's context, and considering Tian Tian's identity, everyone naturally thought that the so-called 30,000 iron cavalry were elite configurations.

Here, Chen Xianba should also be given credit. When he was drinking and eating meat with these "brothers," he would arrange for his men to report the location and itinerary of the rear army from time to time. He didn't say it clearly, but he had already created the illusion for them that there was a large army following behind them.

Therefore, when Tian Tian said it at this time, they naturally believed it.

"You should be very clear that this time, my father led his army into Chu, it is definitely not as simple as plundering the grass valley. My J Eastern army will firmly control this place.

And you in the future,

Will no longer be Chu people, but members of my J Eastern.

I thought you would all be sensible, but who knew that someone would actually hide other thoughts.

Zhou Feng,

My brother Xianba has treated you well, why do you still secretly communicate with the prefectural city?

You,

What are your intentions?"

"I…" Zhou Feng was stunned. What were his intentions? He didn't have any!

"The Zhou family has been razed to the ground, come on, cut off his head for this Prince."

Tian Tian stretched out his hand lazily and pointed at Zhou Feng, who was standing up blankly.

"Injustice, injustice, Your Highness, it's really injustice!"

Tian Tian's eyes suddenly narrowed,

And he scolded:

"What are you still waiting for!"

Under this roar, someone immediately drew a knife, and someone next to him held Zhou Feng down. Then, the knife pierced into Zhou Feng's body.

"Your Highness, should we cut off his head?" someone asked. After all, the scene of cutting off the head was not good-looking.

"Cut it off." Tian Tian continued, "Also, you, you, you, and those behind you who didn't have time to act, go out now and, by my order, kill all those people from his Zhou family, and hang their heads on the flagpole for this Prince."

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Tian Tian stood up from the chair,

Bent down,

And gently patted the surface of his boots,

He said very calmly;

"There are a few others, this time, this Prince won't mention it first, and will watch your future performance. Actually, you have no choice, do you?

Think about your families, and even more about your wives and children.

Think about it,

The consequences of opposing my 300,000 J Eastern iron cavalry."

"We swear to be loyal to Your Highness, we swear to be loyal to the Prince!"

"Go down, take the head down too."

"Yes!"

After everyone left,

Tian Tian sat back in the chair, reached out, and rubbed his face. There was some excitement on his face.

Although after imitating his father, he still needed to correct himself and return;

But this could not stop his previous happiness.

Was Zhou Feng a spy? Judging from his previous reaction, he shouldn't be;

Among the eighteen representatives of the local families, were there spies? There must be;

But at this moment, catching spies was secondary, because it was now the time to use people. This group of people, added together, numbered nearly three thousand, and they could be used.

Mr. Bei had taught him that the superiors should pay attention to the result and ignore the process when thinking about problems.

The only pity was that Xianba wasn't here now. Without his evaluation, the happiness couldn't be doubled.

…

At dusk,

Chu troops appeared in the southeast, northwest and all four directions of Wufeng Mountain, on a large scale, directly forming an encirclement.

The flag of the Sansuo Prefecture prefect, along with the Chu army's Fire Phoenix flag, fluttered in the wind.

Tian Tian sat in the middle of the mountain, looking at the scene in front of him. The magic pearl was placed beside him.

At this time, he didn't have any nervous emotions in his heart,

Because the background paired with the Chu army flag was dusk and sunset.

Plus, the deployment method of dividing the army into four equal parts for encirclement, it was estimated that it was a naive deployment that could only be made by a naive civil official.

"Sigh."

Tian Tian shook his head,

And said;

"Brother Ba also said that he would rely on this battle to promote our future reputation as the Twin Jewels of Great Yan, but looking at this kind of opponent, it really makes people feel unmotivated."

The red stone next to him shook involuntarily;

In the magic pearl's opinion,

This tone and this expression,

Really had the taste of that person.
