Devil’s Advent

The tempo of the war began to accelerate.

In the city of Yingdu, all the yamen began to operate rapidly. If it is said that when the eldest prince was the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Expedition Army, he was only maintaining this basic situation, then when the Marquis of Jingnan came here, the bureaucratic system here changed instantly. extremely efficient.

In terms of what to do, what to raise, the support and distribution of various soldiers and horses, etc., Jingnanhou is only responsible for approving the notes, which will be quickly passed to the relevant officials.

If it doesn't work well, it doesn't matter, the chief officer will be killed directly, and the adjutant will follow, no matter how bad it is, continue to kill.

In Yingdu City, no one dared to raise objections, at least, there were no objections on the surface, and the yamen at all levels began to operate desperately.

This is the value brought by prestige. Of course, there is also the blessing of Jingnanhou himself's bad name.

Things that the eldest prince cannot and dare not do are nothing to the Marquis of Jingnan.

The so-called law does not blame the crowd, and no one dares to join forces, let alone do things like gather crowds to protest, because everyone knows that this master really knows how to kill, and he will kill without hesitation.

Compared with the east bank of the Wangjiang River, there is a very clear difference between the west bank of the Wangjiang River and that is, the West Bank side still maintains a relatively complete governance system, and all levels of yamen can also operate.

Although it is said that there is a war, the spring plowing and the autumn harvest a while ago have actually been barely finished, and the organizational strength in other aspects is still there.

At the same time, because the Yan people are a new regime from outside, they are also extremely powerful deterrent to the local family forces. The local forces in Chengguo originally dared to compete with the local officials of Chengguo, but when they saw the Yan people, not only did they not dare to contradict them, but they would take the initiative. To offer and flatter.

That's how people are, and that's how human nature is.

On the contrary, on the east bank of the Wangjiang River, after the savages entered the customs, they only cared about burning, killing and looting wantonly, and what they were doing was fishing in the dry marsh.

Gold, silver, wealth, goods, population, etc., Xu is afraid of poverty, and even wants to move to the snowy field when he sees the iron pot.

The puppet regime originally established by Situ Yi itself is a layer of window paper, with little control over the local area. Although the Yan people were defeated in the last battle of Wangjiang, the savages and Chu people also sold the new dynasty established by Situ Yi. Well, after losing the small army that supported him, Situ Yi, the new Chengguo emperor, even the capital of Yupan City was taken by Qu Tiannan, so he could only take his younger brother with him. A small county called Fengxin further to the east established a new capital, nicknamed moving the capital.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the entire east bank of the Wangjiang River is in a state of anarchy.

This should not be the situation that the savage king wants to see, but it is also a situation that the savage king cannot change, because after the savage enters the pass, he simply cannot control the savage warriors under his command to burn, kill and loot.

A troop of cavalry galloped on the west bank of the Wangjiang River, reconfirming the location of crossing the river tomorrow.

In the afternoon, everyone rested.

In the evening, the folks should rush here. Although the river is frozen, which makes it easier to cross the river, but if you want to let nearly 10,000 riders cross the river quickly, you need to make some preparations on the river.

In fact, after the Wangjiang defense line freezes, its defensive performance drops by more than 80%. When the water surface freezes, the speed of passage will be greatly increased, and the difficulty will be greatly reduced. The defenders will not be able to make effective and timely interceptions.

Jin Shuke delivered the Fengyoujing that he treasured to the First Prince,

You put it on, just put it under your nose.

The eldest prince nodded, took a little, applied it under his nose, took a deep breath, and felt refreshed.

This stuff is nice.

No, it's a pity that I only have one bottle left on me. Next time, when the battle is over and I return to Shengle, I'll get some for you.

Thanks.

But I can't thank you, really I can't thank you, you are a noble person, we don't take it seriously.

Unspoken?

Oh, yes, hehe.

Jin Shu Ke touched his head somewhat honestly.

In fact, anyone who is not a fool can tell the identity of the eldest prince, because his mount...

The black Pixiu is really too conspicuous. In the entire Yan army, who has this mount at this age, its identity is really easy to guess.

This time, there is no need for alchemy to ponder, which is equivalent to an open-book exam.

It is necessary to serve this master well, but also to be careful.

However, Zheng Fan has another consideration for leaving the First Prince in this team, that is, more than half of the people under Jin Shuke's command are barbarians, and those who have been brainwashed by the blind for the longest time have the best effect on Zheng Fan. The general is also the most loyal group of people.

Tian Wujing wanted to throw the eldest prince here, Zheng Fan couldn't refuse, but he had to make sure that the soldiers and horses were always named Zheng.

Alchemy is a tried and tested blind student, and it must stand the test ideologically and politically.

If it was replaced by other generals from Jin, they might think of changing their thighs. After all, even though Prince Dayan had just lost a battle, his thighs looked thicker and more fragrant than General Zheng's.

Under the principle of judging others by himself, General Zheng felt that if he was thrown in that position, he probably wouldn't be able to resist hugging him.

It is true that the eldest prince would not do such a thing under normal circumstances, and Tian Wujing would not allow such a thing to happen, but some precautions must be taken, otherwise Zheng Fan himself would feel offended.

The eldest prince said:

This time we're going to cross the river from here to harass the Chu army. I just don't know why we aren't allowed to harass the savages.

This seems to be asking, and it seems to be talking to himself.

Now that he has lost the battle, the eldest prince is starting to study Tian Wujing's strategy. The men of the Ji family, especially these princes, are extraordinarily tenacious under the ravages of that emperor.

Zheng Fan once joked with the blind men, saying that despite the cruelty of Yanhuang's education methods, the success rate of the princes is really high. For future generations, Yanhuang can write On the Excellence of Setback Education and directly transform himself Become an educator.

Jin Shu Ke heard the words, smiled, took a sip of the water in the water bag, and said:

Because Chu people are prone to food shortages, savages will not be short of food.

Why? When the Chu people went on an expedition, they must have brought a lot of food and grass with them, and during this time, they should have been supported by food and grass from the territory of Chu. The savages only knew how to kill, loot, and plunder. Many things were transported back to the snow field. .”

Jin Shuke smiled unnaturally,

road:

Because wildlings graze.

Now grazing?

Yes, they can eat sheep.

No, it's impossible, there's not enough sheep to eat. The eldest prince said firmly.

He is not the kind of prince who stays at the gate of the prince's mansion all the time. He knows what cattle and sheep mean to herders. They are equivalent to the land of the people in the Central Plains. Can they be willing to eat whatever they want?

Jin Shu shook his head and said:

Did you know that there is a kind of sheep with two legs.

... The First Prince.

The atmosphere was suddenly silent.

After a long time, the First Prince nodded, bit his lips, and signaled that he understood.

Tian Wujing only attacked Chu people's grain and road and the rear, because he already knew that the savages would do that?

Can Jinshu know this, because in the early years when the barbarians were strong, they did this to the Yan people.

It's just that now, the desert is weakened, and the Yan people are strong, it is almost impossible to do that again.

My lord, in my opinion, the savages are just a pack of wolf cubs. Although they are jumping fiercely now, they are not the opponent of the tiger after all. To deal with the savages, you only need to find a suitable opportunity to charge him head-on. When the time comes It will be clear who is strong and who is weak.

Savages are similar to barbarians to a certain extent,

But barbarians have always looked down on savages,

Alchemy is also this kind of mentality.

I can't beat the Yan people, and I can't deal with you?

On the contrary, Chu State, I think they are more difficult to deal with. On the battlefield, the last thing you want to face is actually an orderly opponent.

The eldest prince nodded when he heard this. He had fought against the Chu people, and Li Bao led his army to die on the east bank in order to kill him.

The Chu people's Qingluan army is indeed elite.

The infantry phalanx of the Chu people is not easy to eat.

The Chu people are very strong in foot combat and have a complete range of troops. Even in the wilderness, as long as the Chu people form an formation, it is difficult for the cavalry to find a place to attack.

Jinshu laughed and said:

That's why the Chu people have to be trapped.

The eldest prince took advantage of the situation and asked:

What about after being trapped? Shall we go to attack the city?

After being trapped, fight the savage.

Playing wild around Chu?

The eldest prince suddenly felt that this barbarian man in front of him was very different, really different, because the eldest prince had a premonition that this commander named Jin Shuke, who was now his nominal Shangguan, seemed to be Jingnanhou's next strategic layout has been guessed.

The eldest prince immediately sat cross-legged, facing Jin Shuke, and said:

Tell me in detail.

Jin Shu is also a little excited, he likes to talk, but there are some things that you can't say because you don't have a suitable audience.

Savages, to put it bluntly, are nothing more than a group of mad dogs, but Chu people are different, Chu people can build and defend cities;

Why is the current Wangjiang situation so difficult? Isn't it because of the meddling of Chu people?

Chu people and savages, on the east bank of Wangjiang River, actually complement each other.

Forehead………

The eldest prince didn't remind others that he said the wrong words again, as long as he can understand.

Without savages, the people of Chu couldn't use it at all, and could only be beaten passively in front of our cavalry, because the existence of savages made up for their shortcomings in this regard.

And if the savages don't have the Chu people, and the Chu people are here to occupy and defend Yupan City for them, their ending can only be to fight and retreat, and they have no other choice.

Because of the appearance of the Chu people, wild people are qualified to stand against us.

This is called, war... war... strategic space, yes, that's the word.

Therefore, if we trap the Chu people, the savages will surely save them. Even Mr. Bei said that the king of the savages is a great character, and he will never set fire across the river.

Watch the fire.

Oh, yes, in the final analysis, we are still stronger. Although we lost once, but counting our Zheng Jiajun... no,

Counting our Sheng Le army, a total of 50,000 Jingnan troops have come, and that Lord Hou has also come. To say something you don't like to hear, a nobleman, the name of the shadow tree, that Lord Hou stands behind and you stand before In the back, it is different for those of us who are soldiers.

I know. The First Prince nodded.

He does not deny this, nor will he deny it.

What a military god can bring to an army is not only tactical and strategic advantages, but also the bonus to the morale and confidence of soldiers is extremely terrifying.

The eldest prince asked again:

Then tell me, savage, how should we fight?

Hey, what's so difficult about this, get on the horse and charge, and after two rounds of riding and shooting, draw a knife and hit it directly. In terms of riding and shooting skills, my lord, your Zhenbei Army and Jingnan Army are really no better than us savages. Bad, what savages are you afraid of?

Fighting savages, in fact, has no other twists and turns at all. In my opinion, it is the same as two packs of wild dogs fighting. The strongest and most able to fight must be placed in the middle, fight with the opposite side, and do it!

As long as the most capable group on the opposite side is beaten to the ground and subdued, the rest will lose their courage.

Last time, the reason why the Left Route Army lost so thoroughly was because that group of people were really...

Having said that, Jin Shuke shut his mouth, realizing that he seemed to have said too much.

The eldest prince closed his eyes, took a deep breath, nodded, and said:

It was my fault.

The fault is that I think too much, the fault is that I am too cautious, and the fault is that I complicate things that can be simple.

My lord, your temper is really good, ha ha.

I also grew up in the military.

Hehe, is that right? Well, maybe I can't say these things, and I don't have the qualifications to say them, but my lord, Mr. Bei said that failure is the mother of success;

Don't be discouraged, just get up again in the future, your capital is stronger than ten thousand people.

General Zheng has you as a general under his command, which is really enviable.

The implication of these words can actually be understood as a hint.

Because everyone knows that it is impossible for the eldest prince to be a school lieutenant under Sheng Le's army forever.

But alchemy is just pretending that he doesn't understand,

The eldest prince only thought that he was a little impatient, and resolved the embarrassment by saying:

I'll take a few more people over there to make sure there are no spies from the Chu people.

Okay, you worked hard.

This is what I should do.

When the eldest prince left,

A barbarian soldier took the initiative to approach Jin Shuke, and whispered:

Jin Shuke, that nobleman of the Yan Kingdom, seems to appreciate you very much, you are about to develop.

There was a disdainful smile on the corner of Jin Shuke's mouth,

He reached out and patted the brutal soldier's helmet unceremoniously,

scolded:

Forgot who gave you food?

No, dare not. Me, I'm just happy for you.

Happy?

Jin Shuke let out a hum, and there was no trace of respect on his face when he faced the eldest prince.

Cold voice:

The nobles of the Yan people all treat us like dogs, but General Zheng really treats us like people.

I am from the prisoner tribe, enough to be a dog,

Now,

I want to be human.
