Chapter 409: Legacy of the Previous Dynasty
Luo Dongdong is a simple and honest country boy who loves to tell the truth.
Just look at this: on the day Huo Gannian passed away, Luo Dongdong had just finished saying: I feel that the boss's soul seems to have followed General Huo, and he may not have a good life in the future; then Yun Chen started the inhumane "hunting and clearing".
The good days of the Black Scale Cavalry are over, and the ultimate nightmare has finally arrived.
From Youzhou to Guying City - now the old Guying City, the Huwei Army advanced victoriously all the way, recruiting soldiers locally along the way. In addition, with the addition of the 100,000 new troops paid by the Dongzhao Kingdom with Xiangxiao Cliff, the team quickly expanded to 190,000, and the cavalry army was also rebuilt.
The Black Scale Cavalry suffered a series of crushing defeats, and their team became smaller and smaller.
Now there are less than 50,000 troops left, hiding in the border forests. It seems that they are still unwilling to give up and withdraw from the Kingdom of Nan, and want to wait for an opportunity to fight again.
At this point, the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, so we cannot attack by force, and burning the forest will cause too much harm to people's lives.
In response to this, Yun Chenjian took an unconventional approach and came up with a unique and ingenious trick.
She sent out 40,000 cavalry and infantry, divided into 16 teams, to search along the edge of the forest towards the center from eight directions: east, south, west, north, southeast, northeast, southwest, and northwest.
During the day, she ordered the infantry to advance in a blanket manner, and the cavalry to keep pacing and galloping, making a full-scale attack posture. The Black Scale Cavalry was so frightened that they dared not show their heads and could only flee deeper into the forest.
At night, she gave each infantryman a gong to beat wildly, and ordered the cavalry to advance quickly accompanied by the earth-shaking sound of gongs and drums, and kill the Black Scale Cavalry's hiding place like a tornado.
They kept making noise and killing people day and night, not giving the Black Scale Cavalry any chance to breathe.
The Black Scale Cavalry were just drinking water when the Tiger Might Army arrived;
He was taking a shit when the hooves of the Tiger Army cavalry came kicking him.
Just as he closed his eyes to take a nap, Hu Weijun's knife was across his neck.
This forced the Black Scale Cavalry to run for their lives with their exhausted bodies, retreating further and further outside the border line.
After half a month of 37 consecutive hunting and clearing operations, more and more Black Scale Cavalry hideouts were discovered and destroyed one after another by the Tiger Power Army because they had no time to retreat.
Many Black Scale Cavalrymen who could not keep up and had reached their limit of physical strength began to be left alone and were killed one by one by the soldiers of the Tiger Power Army.
Luo Dongdong spotted a black-scaled cavalryman whose neck stretched out two miles, but whose legs lagged behind and who ran slower than a turtle. He rushed forward in two steps and kicked the man down.
The Black Scale Cavalryman hadn't eaten, drunk, or slept for days and nights. After being kicked down, he simply collapsed on the ground, not getting up or resisting. He looked like he was going to "kill me!" and started cursing:
"You guys... Is there something wrong with you 'Cloud Tigers'? It's been half a month... and it never ends... Are you crazy?!!"
Luo Dongdong has been following Yun Chen in the charge these days, and the sounds of horse hooves and gongs and drums have been all around him for six hours straight, which has really tortured his ears.
He rubbed his dizzy ears vigorously, tilted his head like Yun Chen, stretched out one ear, and asked:
"What did you say? 'Headless and feetless, cut it up?' What do you mean, you want me to dismember you? Holy crap, that's the first time I've heard that."
The black-scaled cavalryman rolled his eyes to the sky, cursed "Fuck", and was then sent to meet the King of Hell by Luo Dongdong with a knife.
Looking at the black-scaled cavalry on the ground, Luo Dongdong said disdainfully:
"We are not perverts like you. Our general is a man of good character and will not tolerate the desecration of corpses. If you want to dismember the body, you'd better wait for the wild beasts in the forest to help you!"
After saying that, Luo Dongdong glanced at Yun Chen who was still leading the search team not far away, and couldn't help but sigh:
"My eldest brother's soul followed General Huo, leaving behind a belly full of longing and sorrow that I can't resolve, so I just want to take it out on you. But I'm telling you, eldest brother, can you please take a break? My ears can't take it anymore, I'm almost as deaf as you..."
Another half month later, after continuous carpet-style cleanup, except for some scattered teams, there was almost no trace of the Black Scale Cavalry on the border.
Yun Chen ordered all 190,000 soldiers in the army, except those who stayed behind to guard the camp and Guying City, to work on fortifying the border and began to build a border line stretching for thousands of miles.
The so-called border line is not a Great Wall that can block the enemy's invasion, but a low wall about one person high, built with the most ordinary stones, earth bricks and thorns.
Although it has no defensive capabilities, rules are boundaries. Don't underestimate the short wall. Any enemy must carefully consider the consequences of formally declaring war on the Kingdom of Nan before destroying or climbing over it.
Secondly, for the people of Nan Country, they don’t understand what it means to call off the troops and carry out carpet cleaning. They only know that the moment the border wall begins to be built, it means that the war is really over.
The psychological sense of security that "the war is about to end and peace is about to come" is irreplaceable.
Therefore, Yun Chen spent a lot of time and energy on building the border line.
The Nan Kingdom is vast. She now unites the entire east, southeast, and south. Its border stretches for thousands of miles, passing through forests, lakes, mountains, and wilderness. The terrain is complex and difficult to build. It is not easy and time-consuming. She estimates that it will take at least two years to complete the construction.
She wrote to Huo Gannian to tell him about this idea and soon received a response.
Huo Gannian said that he also ordered the Lion-Might Army to start building the border line. He would go from north to south, and she would go from south to north. When the border line was built and connected, it would be the time for the Lion-Might and Tiger-Might armies to join forces, and they could return to Beijing together.
When Yun Chen received this reply letter from Huo Gannian, he was stunned for a long time.
She held the thin piece of letter paper up to her eyes, looked at it over and over again against the light seven or eight times, and asked Rong Yi, who was laughing gloatingly beside her:
"Help me check, make sure Ah Nian wrote 'meet me when the border merges'? It must be wrong. That's two years from now? Am I blind, or am I seeing things?"
Rong Yi suppressed his laughter, thinking to himself, "General Huo is truly a genius at being reserved and flirtatious in love. Two years? Two months would be the limit for him to hold back!" He coughed twice to clear his throat, took the letter from Yun Chen's hand, and said pretentiously:
"Boss, don't be impatient. Let me think about how to defend General Huo."
When Yun Chen heard this, it seemed that she was not blind, but Huo Gannian actually planned to meet her two years later.
She couldn't help but feel deflated in an instant, her body bent, her back arched, and her shoulders drooped.
Rong Yi couldn't hold back his laughter because of the dejected look. Then he approached Yun Chen and said with a mysterious and evil smile:
"Boss, what are you so angry about? It's hard to find a two-legged man in the world, but there are four-legged toads everywhere - ah, what I mean is, since General Huo agreed to meet in two years, whoever regrets it first is a dog. Before that, let me take you out for some fun -"
After saying that, regardless of whether Yun Chen agreed or not, or whether he heard what he said, Rong Yi pushed Yun Chen onto the horse and headed towards Yuecheng, the nearest city.
Two hours later, Rong Yi took the gloomy Yun Chen and stood at the largest hall in the city.
At the entrance of Xianggu Pavilion.
The most shocking thing about the Nan Kingdom in following the legacy of the previous dynasty was that it allowed the existence of Xianggu Pavilion.
Like a brothel, Xiangguguan is also a den of money for people to have fun and enjoy.
But there are no beautiful women in it, but all are fair-skinned and handsome men, commonly known as "little husbands".
Because male homosexuality is not popular in Nan Country, there are relatively few Xianggu Pavilions, and they are usually located in inconspicuous and remote corners.
Yun Chen was still in a low mood, and Rong Yi had already dragged him to an ordinary, secluded, low door.
Rong Yi knocked on the door with familiarity, threw a piece of silver to reward the gatekeeper, and then pulled Yun Chen in.
In an instant, a magnificent golden building appeared before my eyes, surrounded by wisps of mist. Flowers and strange rocks stood side by side among the pavilions and pools, and beauty and scenery appeared behind the pearl and jade curtains.
Yun Chen stood still in the hall. He saw golden sandalwood beams above his head, crystal jade lamps, and silk gauze curtains on all sides hung with gems and pearls. Occasionally, a tall young man in brocade clothes walked among them, his handsome face looming in the distance, which was quite alluring.
Yun Chen was unable to react for a moment, his mouth half open, looking around in surprise. Before his eyes could adjust to the vast sea of jewels and gems, he was surrounded by a group of young men with different looks but each one more handsome than the other, and were pushed into the VIP room with a smile.
By the time she was fully awake and realized where Rong Yi had taken her, the spacious room was already filled with more than twenty young men.
There's the ambitious young man, the "male fox" with peach blossom eyes and a lively gaze, the tall and sturdy Ye Qilang, and the cute little brother with puppy eyes who's especially good at acting coquettish...
Tall, short, fat, thin, heroic or feminine, lively and clingy, cold and taciturn... there are truly all kinds of people.
Yun Chen's eyes swept across a group of handsome men's faces, scaring her so much that she dodged back and jumped up from the couch in horror.
