"Wu Gao is about to run away!" Zhu Gaoxu suddenly said.
Night had already fallen, the muskets in the west were still flashing, the sound of firearms and the noisy voices echoed through the night sky. The battle was not over yet.
However, the Han army continued to advance and had already crossed the central area of this plain. There was a large village in the middle, but now only the charred embers of the houses were left; the charred wood faintly revealed dark red charcoal cracks in the dark night, just like the terrible color of magma.
The plain stretched to the bank of the Li River, which was completely dark; there was no light on the other side of the river in the distance. Originally, this flat and fertile land by the river should have been the most densely populated place, but the battle started here, and the people who could escape fled, and they dared not turn on the lights at night.
To the north there was a vast expanse of darkness, with no sig
In the depths of the night sky, countless rockets shone, and their trajectories formed beautiful parabolas due to the lag of vision. They looked like fireworks and shooting stars, brilliant and beautiful.Zhu Gaoxu withdrew his gaze and climbed up the gentle slope between the two limestone peaks with the help of the torches lit by pine and cypress branches. When he turned around, he saw a large group of people and horses behind him with torches lit, which was as spectacular as a sea of fire.Darkness enveloped the sky and earth, and all natural landscapes became hazy and unclear, but this made some scenes more shocking; perhaps it is because people are always more in awe of the unknown.The towering peaks during the day were covered with bushes and weeds, full of green; but at this moment, their huge black shadows seemed like huge monsters hidden in the darkness.Zhu Gaoxu kept an eye on those "monsters" because they were among the few reference object
Wu Gao, the Marquis of Jiangyin, said those words, saying that his military career was over and the army could only survive. At this time, Geng Hao saw weakness and cowardice on his face.Geng Hao was suddenly very angry. He didn't marry Wu Gao's daughter, who only had a few years of brains, just to die with the Wu family!His awe for his father-in-law, the marquis, suddenly disappeared, and he couldn't help but say, "Yesterday, the victory was not decided, so it was the commander-in-chief's intention to admit defeat and retreat. Now that the commander-in-law said these depressing words, I'm afraid it is hurting the morale of the army. unfavorable...""What?" Wu Gao suddenly looked surprised and displeased, and turned to look at Geng Hao. The surrounding generals also looked sideways.It was all thanks to Wu Gao that Geng Hao and his son were able to get out of prison and get an official position. Therefore, before that, Geng Hao was very obedient and
The crowd of government troops on the avenue was moving slowly, their steps were slow and heavy, like a group of people wearing shackles.The leather water bag hanging on the waist of a sergeant was leaking, and water was constantly seeping out, soaking his leather armor and trouser legs. When he found out, he took off the water bag and shook it, and a look of disappointment immediately appeared on his face.The sky had cleared up, the setting sun was shining in the sky, and the forest-like mountains in the east stood in the distance, looking particularly green under the sun. The soldier holding the broken water bag turned his head and looked to the west. There was a clear river not far away, and the sparkling water was particularly tempting. The soldier licked his dry lips and suddenly staggered towards the river bank."Come back!" The general behind him shouted, "Who told you to leave the team without permission?"The soldier didn't care about anythi
Twenty-six-year-old Zhu Chanyi is the second generation of King Jingjiang. His grandfather Zhu Wenzheng is the nephew of Taizu Taizu of the Ming Dynasty. But in recent years, his health has been very poor. He is often bedridden and feels that he will not live long.At that time, one hundred thousand officers and soldiers in Guangxi were defeated and surrendered, and the rebels were about to approach the walls of Guilin. The news had reached the Jingjiang Palace. But Zhu Chanyi didn't care about this at all. What saddened him the most was that he was still ill and his life was in danger. Why did he care about the two uncles fighting for the throne?At this moment, Chang Shi Xiao asked for orders to come in. When Xiao Yongdao saw Zhu Zanyi, he said, "Your Majesty, Governor Lei Quan wants to see you and says that we have something important to discuss with you.""I have nothing to do with the affairs of the Guilin Mansion... Ahem! What does he want from me?" Zh
Lei Tian, Geng Hao and others escorted the wife and prince of King Jingjiang out of the north gate of the city. They planned to go north to Huguang Provincial Administration Office first, meet with General Zhang Fu of Pinghan, report the situation in Guangxi, and then go to the capital.The officials in the capital fled, and the attitudes of the officials in the three yamen of Guangxi began to change obviously. Those who are interested can feel this change from the details of the names. In the past, everyone called them "rebel king" and "rebel army", but now when talking about the army approaching the border, they usually call them "King of Han" and "Han King's Army", and some even call them "the army of punishing crimes"...In late August, the King of Han's Central Army was the first to arrive at the south gate of Guilin Prefecture.People say that Guilin's landscape is the best in the world, and it really lives up to its reputation. Even near the largest c
Madam Li took the second son of Prince Jingjiang, Zhu Zuomin, and walked into the hall. She lowered her head and looked submissive, with a pair of eyes shining with shrewdness, and she would look up at Zhu Gaoxu from time to time.When they got closer, she knelt down gently and said, "I, Li, greet the emperor's uncle." Then she pulled the four or five-year-old boy next to her and whispered, "Call me uncle."Zhu Zuomin knelt on the ground and kowtowed obediently, "Zuomin greets uncle.""Okay, no courtesy." Zhu Gaoxu smiled and reached out his hand to make a gesture. I don't know if it was an illusion, but Zhu Gaoxu felt that Li's tone was a bit awkward. However, many women and people in the palace were like that, maybe it was just his illusion.The mother and son got up and sat down next to King Jingjiang, accompanying him.King Jingjiang had a sick look on his face, and he was still weak when he spoke. Sometimes he was also out of breath when he
Since Zhu Gaoxu arrived at the Jingjiang Palace in the afternoon, the banquet to welcome him was a dinner. All the civil and military officials of Guilin Prefecture and respected celebrities were invited.The guards of the King of Han and the eunuchs of the Jingjiang Palace checked the guests outside the front hall to ensure that there would be no accidents during the dinner. All the delicacies and drinks had to be sent to the side hall first, and after people tasted them, they were brought to the main hall by palace maids.Prince Jingjiang was in poor health and was obviously very tired today. However, he still attended the opening ceremony and watched a feather dance, then used the excuse of changing clothes and never appeared at the banquet again.However, there were so many guests at the banquet that Prince Jingjiang's departure did not affect the atmosphere.Zhu Gaoxu, who was drunk, discovered that the solemn dance in the middle of the hall had b
After coming out of the room where Wu Gao was imprisoned, Zhu Gaoxu ran into Hou Hai. Hou Hai held a report and said politely, "I received this letter from Governor Sheng. Ruan Zhi, a Jiaozhi native, is being escorted to Guilin Prefecture. Your Majesty might want to see this news."Zhu Gaoxu took it and read through it. The content was similar to what Hou Hai had just said. He asked casually, "Only Ruan Zhi and Jin Shitou didn't come back?"Hou Hai said, "I don't know.""As soon as Ruan Zhi arrives in Guilin, bring him to see me immediately," Zhu Gaoxu ordered.He had a vague premonition that persuading the Ming army in Jiaozhi to surrender might not be easy.That afternoon, Ruan Zhi arrived at Guilin Prefecture. Zhu Gaoxu was discussing matters with his generals in the living room in the front yard. When he heard the report, he ordered Ruan Zhi to come and meet him.After waiting for a while, a dusty young man arrived at the door. He was R
The sky gradually darkened and the lights came on. Gao Xu held Miao Jin's hand and followed the crowd into the concert hall.People were all dressed up, especially women, who were all dressed up. Some wore traditional clothes such as ruqun or aoqun, while others were dressed in modern fashion. Each figure seemed to be wandering between the classical and the modern.Among them there are many foreigners, probably all of whom came to Taicang to attend international conferences.In terms of fun, people might prefer to watch a movie rather than enjoy such pure music. However, there were still many listeners tonight, and the auditorium gradually filled up.Perhaps some of them value the rarity of concerts and do not attend them often, while others simply value their style.Gao Xu's main happiness comes from Miao Jin's company. Imagine if he came alone or with someone unrelated, his feelings would be much worse. He is willing to be with Miao Jin and exp
There were long commercials playing on TV, but no one changed the channel.Miao Jin was doing chores and preparing ingredients for lunch. Gao Xu began to check his various instruments, which were all measuring tools he had collected a while ago.There is a ray detector, which, according to the manual, can detect radiation, including ultraviolet light, laser and other electromagnetic waves. There is a torsion balance experimental device, which can measure the gravitational constant. And an air measuring instrument.There were also some uncommon small devices. In short, except for the large instruments that were difficult to carry, he tried his best to buy all the instruments that could test general constants.Miao Jin would occasionally look over here curiously, but before she asked, she might have guessed what Gao Xu was going to do.Gao Xu would tell her clearly as long as she asked. Because when he was going to look for the cave in Huangshan, h
Gao Xu usually doesn't like watching TV. But today, when Miao Jin was watching TV in the living room, he was gradually attracted by the TV program, so he stopped what he was doing and sat next to Miao Jin.There was a studio on the TV screen, with two hosts, a man and a woman, talking about the animation "Zootopia" like a crosstalk. It was neither news nor entertainment, but a show that mocked reality.Miao Jin saw Gao Xu sitting over and said, "This TV station should be more inclined to the left-wing viewpoint."Gao Xu asked, "Why haven't I heard of the distinction between left and right wings?"Miao Jin said, "It is originally an imported product. That is how foreigners describe Ming Dynasty politics. There is no clear distinction between left and right in China. So we generally don't use such words. It is normal that we don't hear them normally."She glanced at Gao Xu and continued, "This classification first appeared in the parliament during
Gao Xu's drama project has less than half the investment of the animation project, with a total investment of about 40 million yen for 15 episodes; the profit expectations are also completely incomparable to those of animated films. As Wang Siqi and most people believe, the fastest way to make money is still the movie box office.But Gao Xu has invested more energy in costume dramas.The crew built a filming site in the Western Regions. From 509 to the first half of 510, a production period of less than a year, Gao Xu flew twice to personally observe the filming site. His subordinate Sun Jing also stayed in the Western Regions for a long time, passing various information back to Taicang.A large media company in Taicang has signed an exclusive premiere agreement with Dream Incubation Studio.The terms are a bit complicated, but the key is to adopt a cooperation model with floating copyright fees. When the series is almost finished, a pay TV station und
The glass window on the outer wall is located in the east direction, so the sunlight cannot enter the studio in the afternoon. Therefore, Gao Xu often has a slight illusion that it seems to be later than the actual time.At this moment, the phone in his coat pocket rang. Gao Xu's phone rarely received calls because he had set the Do Not Disturb function, so no calls could be received from numbers that were not saved. He took it out and saw that it was a person who he did not contact often but had saved the number a long time ago, Sun Jing.Gao Xu stood up from his desk, walked to the corner by the glass window, glanced at Wang Cheng not far away, and answered the phone.Sun Jing's voice asked, "Are you still busy with work?"Gao Xu said, "Yes, I am working on two projects at the same time, so I am a little busy. How is Mr. Sun doing recently?"Sun Jing, "Very boring. I don't have to go to work, but I've been idle for so long that I feel like I'm
This was the second time Gao Xu and Xiao Yu had a meal together. Last time they were at the company cafeteria, and today they were at a roadside fast food restaurant.After finishing work at the agency, Gao Xu drove off the main road and found a parking space. Then he randomly found a restaurant where he could eat and walked in with Xiao Yu.It was very lively inside, with all kinds of customers, including well-dressed office workers and some homely citizens, men, women, young and old, making a big noise in the room, mixed with the loud shouts of the shop assistants passing on information. Although the air conditioner was on, the shop was open and there were many people, so it was still very hot inside.There were several dishes to choose from, all of which were simple and convenient. Gao Xu and Xiao Yu gave up on the braised pork intestines with radish, and roast duck was too greasy, so they chose roast chicken.The roasted chicken skin was cut into p
After many twists and turns, Gao Xu finally contacted the director named Ma Xuan.Ma Xuan has an account on the Internet where he posts some career news. Gao Xu's assistant Yu Ni left messages and sent messages, but it took several days for her to get a response. Gao Xu came to the hall and looked through the information records on Yu Ni's computer."He doesn't seem very proactive." Yu Ni said.Gao Xu said , "You claim to be the assistant of the investor of "Dream Seekers", but he may not believe you. If our studio also has such a certified account, it may save some trouble."At this time, Shidai Heng walked by and greeted him, "Mr. Liu."Gao Xu nodded and said, "We are trying to contact Ma Xuan, the director you recommended."Dai Heng came over and said, "He should have received a lot of similar messages. And there is indeed some false information on the Internet. For the purpose of advertising, people may lie about their identities, which
The people who work here, including Dai Heng who has only been here a few days, seem to have gotten used to the environment.The studio was in good condition. The morning sun shone in through the French windows, and the room was clean and tidy. In addition to the solid wood desk and bookshelf, and a full range of domestic electrical appliances (Made in China products are more expensive), there were also comfortable leather chairs.Gao Xu was in Xiao Deng's office at the moment, sitting on one of the leather chairs, holding a tablet and reading the text he had just copied from Xiao Deng's computer. Of course, he couldn't help but listen to the sound of her keyboard at the same time.He put down the tablet, picked up the cup next to him, and found it was empty. So he stood up and walked to the water dispenser, filled up half a cup of hot water, then took a tea bag and put it in the cup to soak for more than ten seconds, then took it out and put it next to him.
The next screenwriter who came to the studio for an interview was named Dai Heng, who should be a relatively unknown person.Gao Xu looked out from the glass wall and when he saw Dai Heng, he immediately guessed that this person was probably not married yet. Dai Heng was wearing a brand new suit, a white shirt with a small cross collar, and a pair of casual leather shoes that didn't match. The most unpleasant thing about Dai Heng was his long hair, but unlike the image of Ekin Cheng, Gao Xu felt at first glance that Dai Heng was not suitable for that hairstyle. Some hairstyles look good, but they are picky about the face.But these are not problems. Now that the people have arrived, Gao Xu needs to get to know them a little bit.Gao Xu pressed the phone on the desk, "Xiao Yu, ask him to come to the office to meet.""Okay." Xiao Yu said into the phone outside, his voice coming from the desk inside.Dai Heng came in from the door with a bag on his
