【1】Zhou Sheng Is as Old as Ever

"Alas!"

In the vast snowfield, hundreds of thousands of people cheered in unison, shaking the sky and the earth.

Snowflakes were flying all over the sky. A white horse climbed up a hill with majestic steps and a "gada" sound.

When the cold wind blows, the horse shakes its mane, raises its head and neighs. Lin Yufan, who was sitting astride its back, slightly held the reins, squinted his eyes and looked around in the wind and snow.

The cold wind passed over the large banner behind him, making a fierce "hu la la" sound.

He felt that there were traces of melted snow on his face. He raised his arm and rubbed it, but he felt that his face was even colder - his sleeves were covered with iron armor.

Dark red traces appeared on the armor. This was not the blood from his injuries, but the blood stains from the enemies he killed.

The dragon pony under his crotch was still shaking its head and tail impatiently. The heavy armor it was wearing collided with its master's armor, making a continuous "squeaking" sound.

It is still eager to charge. It wants to continue killing with its master, and even more, it wants to bite the enemy personally to make the world peaceful as soon as possible.

Tightening the reins in his hands, Lin Yufan heard the violent neighing of his mount, and immediately raised his two front hooves, raising a cloud of snow mist.

Holding the ring-headed sword, which weighed more than 50 kilograms, toward the sky, Lin Yufan shouted loudly: "The king's army will win!"

"Victory is certain! As a lesson to the world, we must observe integrity and die righteously!" Hundreds of thousands of soldiers shouted together.

Ten close generals gathered around and received new instructions: Under the leadership of the marching Sima and the participating troops, the battlefield should be cleared as soon as possible; the cavalry returned to the camp first, followed by the infantry and chariots.

After the order was issued, Lin Yufan led thousands of cavalry and embarked on the return journey amidst the flying snow.

The heavy snowfall in the wilderness was so unbridled that his eyes were filled with white, and there was no distinction between heaven and earth.

【Ding. The task force traveled through time and became King Xiao Nanchen, Zhou Shengchen in the play "Zhou Sheng Ru Gu". 】

"receive."

[Mission: main mission; marry Jian Shiyi in the Taiji Palace in the capital; side mission: none. 】

After receiving this information, Lin Yufan couldn't help but secretly praise: What a simple mission.

The system stopped making noise, and the system panel screen appeared in Lin Yufan's mind.

Name: Zhou Shengchen

Age: 19 years old

Physical fitness (including physical fitness, strength, agility, etc.): 10/10

Intelligence (the ability to possess and continue to learn): 10/10

Skills: Xiang Yu's marksmanship; Li Siye's sword power; Li Guang's shooting skills.

Lucky Draw Opportunities: None yet

The reason why the system is so powerful is not only that Lin Yufan's previous tasks were accomplished very well, but also because this drama is really sad.

The plot shows: Xiao Nanchen Wang Zhoushengchen was originally a member of the royal family with the surname Liu and the younger brother of the current emperor.

Because of his outstanding reputation since childhood, he was worried about being jealous of the royal nobles, so he swore an oath to his imperial brother in the Taiji Hall: "My brother asked me to leave the imperial surname and guard Xizhou forever and never set foot in Zhongzhou."

The emperor agreed.

Chen then changed his mother's surname and inherited the throne of Nanchen from Zhou Sheng's family. To show respect to his ancestors, he added the character "小" to himself and called him King Xiao Nanchen.

In order to avoid suspicion and vendetta among the royal family, and to consider the people of the world, he left Zhongzhou, where the capital of Beichen was located, at the age of thirteen, and came to Xizhou to defend it.

He was strict in running the army, took the lead, and was invincible in battles. Xizhou was stable because of him. The people lived in harmony and merchants came and went, and Chang'an became a major trading center in Beichen.

At that time, it was said that "Chang'an has remained the same for thousands of years."

Relying on his talent for brave strategy and super martial arts, he gathered 700,000 Xizhou soldiers and generals, becoming an important force to deter the rebellion and protect the Beichen territory.

Military generals have always been jealous of the officials in the court, not to mention his reputation.

Although he resolutely abided by his original oath, he never entered Zhongzhou again. But these did not exchange for his desire to spend his life like this, and he still fell into the trap set for him by the powerful people who hated him.

The reason for this is closely related to his sweet love affair with a girl named Yu Shiyi.

Taking the girl as his disciple, he called her "Eleven".

The two fell in love with each other, but they could not hold hands together because Zhou Shengchen had vowed to "not take wives, concubines, and leave no heirs," and because his mother's family wanted to marry her as the crown prince - the prince usurped the throne and became emperor.

He had never been defeated on the battlefield, but was eventually captured by the pseudo-emperor and tortured with evisceration.

Zhou Shengchen was tortured for three hours, and the executioner peeled off and extracted the "beauty bones" from his body before he died. Before he died, he did not cry out for pain, but said, "In this life, I will not let the world down, but I will let down eleven."

When Nao Shiyi heard about it, he took his noble mother's surname, dressed in bright red clothes, and jumped from a towering tower to his death.

These two people have become tragic figures throughout the ages. They believe that they are imprisoned by their own historical background, but they make the viewers feel very unfair.

Lin Yufan knew this information and sighed in his heart: The one who jumped from the tower was not Shi Yi, but Princess Xiao Nanchen; the one who had the beautiful bones removed and died was not Zhou Shengchen, but Renjun who couldn't bear to see the chaos in the world.

Zhou Shengchen's biggest pursuit is to hope that all people will be happy, so this tragedy happened. If he rules the world, all the people will be more happy, and there will be no regrets about Shi Yi.

If I don't clean up this troubled world, when will the world be stable? !

If you don't belong to me at that time, how can you put an end to the eternal grievances? !

You can have your cake and eat it too.

Lin Yufan made up his mind and immediately began to plan and fight back against those shameless powerful people.

If the so-called beauty of the country cannot be embraced in his arms, will it no longer be a pity for King Xiao Nanchen at this moment? !

"Report to King Xiao Nanchen that the camp is approaching!"

Zhou Shengchen's ten close generals were called his ten disciples. This is his eldest disciple Hong Xiaoyu, fighting bravely to retaliate.

"Go back to camp!"

Lin Yufan (Zhou Shengchen) came to his senses from the plot and waved his right hand towards the grand and neat camp built on the mountain.

Thousands of cavalry entered the camp gate one after another. The whole camp had already received the news of victory. The remaining soldiers came out to greet them. There were constant cheers inside and outside the military camp.

Like stars holding the moon, Zhou Shengchen, surrounded by generals, rode into the Chinese army camp.

An old man wearing a silk scarf and a crane cloak came out of the tent to greet us. He quickly raised his hands and saluted: "Congratulations, Your Highness, on your return with a great victory!"

As soon as his words fell to the ground, the nearby guards and soldiers saluted together and shouted: "Congratulations to Your Highness, for your great victory!"

Zhou Shengchen replied enthusiastically: "Military advisor, I've been waiting for a long time!"

This elegant old man was none other than Xie Chong, the military advisor of Zhou Shengchen's royal army. This man was excellent in both literary and military skills, and was specially transferred by the emperor to assist Zuo Zhou in his birthday.

If Zhou Shengchen has a talent for fighting, he should also be grateful for Xie Chong's dedicated support.

At this time, Xie Chong saluted again and followed Zhou Shengchen, who had dismounted, into the big tent.

The guards fetched water from a copper basin. While Zhou Shengchen was washing, he smiled and ordered to the disciples accompanying him: "Go and reward the soldiers first! There are still three things - kill animals, prepare wine, and build a bonfire! "

The eldest disciple Hong Xiaoyu and several junior brothers and junior sisters immediately said happily: "I obey!"

The tent became quiet. Zhou Shengchen had finished washing and asked casually: "Commander, the weather is cold and gloomy, why haven't you ordered anyone to light the candles yet?"

Xie Chong was lost in thought and did not answer for a while.

"Light the lamp! I want to check the map and sand table." Zhou Shengchen turned to the guards and ordered.

Several guards immediately lit several oil lamps and twenty or thirty arm-thick candles, and then hurriedly hung up the map and uncovered the cloth covering the sand table.

The tent suddenly looked brilliant. Zhou Shengchen walked to the four-foot-high and six-foot-long map and said: "The soldiers are preparing for the banquet, so we don't have to wait. The military advisor is making arrangements for the army. No less than Xiao He, let’s take a look at the current military situation first.”

Seeing no response, he turned back in surprise. Xie Chong's face was hesitant, and his left hand reached into the sleeve of his right hand, as if he wanted to take something out.

Pulling his arm, Zhou Shengchen said with a smile: "Military advisor, I have just returned from the war. Don't talk about it!"

Xie Chong looked at Zhou Shengchen, whose face was full of joy, and had no choice but to withdraw his hand from his sleeve.

The two walked to the map. Zhou Shengchen looked at the map carefully and pointed at it one by one.

The current world is similar to the Northern and Southern Dynasties, with Beichen to the north of the Yangtze River and Nanxiao to the south. There are also barbarians living in Mobei and Liaodong, and Yungui and other places are still not peaceful.

This is a general situation, and there are often different rebels in various places causing chaos, so there are always conquests in Beichen, which occupies the north.

It is true that Zhou Shengchen has a large number of troops, but his overall strength is not absolutely the best in the world, especially because of the constraints from the emperor and a group of relatives.

Looking at the map, he said to himself: "Although I have six garrison towns in the north and the Jianghuai Great Wall in the south, covering the Central Plains, I seem to be able to dominate the world. But after all, there is Rouran in Mobei and Hu Di in Liaodong. The Qiang are restless in the west, and there is a formidable enemy called Nanxiao in the south, which is really unsettling!"

He spoke enthusiastically, but Xie Chong seemed absent-minded and had to touch his sleeves several times.

Zhou Shengchen pretended not to see it and continued to look at the map, murmuring again: "Recently, the kings and generals in various vassal towns seem to be in a restless state, and we should pay strict attention to it."

Turning his head, he said to Xie Chong: "Military advisor, isn't this king's concern correct?"

Quickly handing over his hand, Xie Chong quickly replied: "King Xiao Nanchen has been working hard on state affairs. He is very dedicated and conscientious, and I admire him very much."

"So, what do the military advisors think?" Zhou Shengchen asked next.

Xie Chong observed the map and then said: "Based on this battle, the current focus of my Bei Chen's attention should indeed be on the governance of the feudal town. Then, we can plan to go south and compete with Nan Xiao."

Nodding, Zhou Shengchen whispered again: "What's the reward for the scouts and meticulous work sent everywhere?"

Xie Chongcai shook his head and put his hand into his sleeve again.

"The king's army has won a great victory. Even if some of you want to cause chaos, you will not dare to do so." Zhou Shengchen took his arm and walked to the sand table.

Xie Chong had no choice but to carry the anxiety in his heart and accompany him, who was looking cheerful, to the sand table that was five feet wide and one foot long.

In the sand table, there are mountains, rivers, forests, and plains. In the eyes of the two people who have long memorized these, they are not just piles of sand, soil and rocks, but a clear general situation of the world.

"The Wang Army is currently within the Great Wall of the Yellow River Loop. After this victory, how do the military advisors think they should deal with the follow-up issues?" Zhou Shengchen asked without looking up, paying attention to his own sphere of influence displayed on the sand table.

Also getting interested, Xie Chong then suggested which hills should be deployed with rangers, which plains should be deployed with heavy troops, where fields could be established, and where salt fields could be dug out.

While the two were discussing, there was a burst of noise from the door of the big tent - headed by the eldest disciple Hong Xiaoyu, ten close generals were chatting and laughing, and ordered the guards to bring jars of fine wine and pots of stewed meat one after another.

Seeing this joyous scene, Xie Chong hesitated again and again and said: "Your Highness, I have a few words to say. Please stop drinking in the tent."

"The military advisor is right!" Zhou Shengchen agreed, and immediately shouted to Hong Xiaoyu and others, "The great victory is achieved by the soldiers fighting together. How can I enjoy the delicious food alone in the tent? I must celebrate with the soldiers. Just drink it!"

Hong Xiaoyu and others immediately agreed, and after Xie Chong said "uh, ah" several times, Zhou Shengchen pulled his arm involuntarily and walked out of the tent with everyone.

In the seemingly endless camp, red bonfires were rising in the open space outside each tent.

"Can the soldiers eat meat and drink fine wine?" Zhou Shengchen asked.

"Your Highness, you can share the meat. It's just that the stew takes too long," Hong Xiaoyu replied with his hands in hand.

"Is this still difficult?!" Zhou Shengchen laughed and said, "The weather is cold again, why do the soldiers have to wait?! Pass on the king's order - set up a big pot on the bonfire, cut the meat into thin slices and send it in Add various spices to the boiling water! It only takes a quarter of a second and you can enjoy it immediately!"

"Yes!" Hong Xiaoyu replied loudly and immediately sent people to give instructions.

After a while, the air in the camp was filled with the wonderful aroma of cooked meat.

"Commander, what do you think?" Zhou Shengchen looked proudly at the countless campfires and the soldiers laughing wantonly.

"Your Highness," Xie Chong finally couldn't help it. He seemed to be so anxious that his eyes were red, "Let's go into the account. I have other important matters."

"Absolutely not!" Zhou Shengchen immediately refused, "If everything was fine in normal times. Now that the soldiers are not afraid of losing stones, fighting bloody battles and returning with great victory, how can we leave them behind?"

After that, he couldn't help but said to his disciples: "Go to each camp to supervise. The soldiers, regardless of their rank, must eat meat and drink fine wine. I will follow later and have fun with the soldiers!"

Hong Xiaoyu and others took the order again and walked quickly to make announcements.

Zhou Shengchen held Xie Chong's hand and said with gratitude: "Although the military advisor is old, he has no choice but to work hard on my behalf. We will patrol separately and make sure the soldiers enjoy themselves."

Xie Chong mumbled something to say, and Zhou Shengchen stared into his eyes and said, "The weather is already cold, and we must not colden the hearts of the soldiers!"

After that, he laughed and walked towards the camp, followed by a group of guards.

Xie Chong looked at his back and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It is indeed an act of caring for the soldiers, but His Highness doesn't know that I am already very worried.

The camp was vast, and Zhou Shengchen had to travel throughout the camp to see the joyful expressions of the soldiers with his own eyes.

Xie Chong walked through several camps here. Finally, he was worried because he had something on his mind, but he could no longer see him, so he had to order his guards to look for him. After searching here, he soon said he was going there. Xie Chong had no choice but to sigh inwardly and give up.

It wasn't until midnight that he saw the drunken Zhou Shengchen, who, with the support of the guards, returned to the tent talking loudly and laughing.

When he came closer to talk again, Xie Chong saw him laughing and said, "The military advisor didn't drink a few more drinks for the soldiers' victory?"

Just as Xie Chong was about to answer, he heard him continue: "I'm drunk and want to sleep, please go away. I want to bring Qin to you tomorrow morning!"

After hearing this verse from the divine mouth, Xie Chong had to shout the word "good" immediately.

Seeing that Zhou Shengchen was already unconscious, he had no choice but to sigh and give up, holding back what he wanted to say.

After all, he still couldn't be at ease, so Xie Chong simply stayed by Zhou Shengchen's side, who was sleeping drunk, hoping to discuss matters with him immediately when he woke up.

Zhou Shengchen slept for about two hours, then he opened his eyes and looked around him.

In the light of the brazier in the tent, Xie Chong was seen leaning on a table, his head lowered to his chest, and he was snoring.

Turning his head, Zhou Shengchen closed his eyes again, thinking to himself.

He naturally knew: what Xie Chong wanted to bring out, but never had the opportunity to say, was the edict from the Zhongzhou court announcing the emperor's death.
