Devil’s Advent

Ali.

Yes, my lord.

Go and see if the two salted fishes are ready. If they are ready, hang them up on the city tower for an exhibition.

Yes, my lord.

Fan Li turned around and went directly.

Zheng Fan reached out and patted the battlements, and said, What shall we do next?

Liang Cheng said: My lord, we have actually gone a long way.

The land of the Three Jins is very large, but Chengguo is the original sphere of influence of the Situ family, which is less than half of the land of the Three Jins. In terms of size, it is larger than the Helian family and the Wenren family. It's still smaller than the two combined.

Wangjiang almost cut Chengguo vertically from the source of Tianduan Mountains, dividing Chengguo into two parts. Now Sheng Le's army has crossed Wangjiang and penetrated hundreds of miles. It can be said that it is already quite to the east.

A Ming who was standing on the side: Nonsense.

Zheng Fan nodded and said, I understand.

A Ming: ...

Ah Ming suddenly felt that after Fan Li left, a new depression in IQ appeared here.

A person who is usually cool and indifferent, when he finds that he suddenly cannot get involved in this topic and cannot understand the points of his friends, he will often panic and feel very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Zheng Fan immediately continued:

In theory, it is possible, but if it is too much, will it have any bad effects?

Liang Cheng smiled and said:

My lord, the Marquis of Jingnan used us as a surprise army to cross the river. He didn't regard us as a specific means, nor did he limit us to any specific goals.

His only requirement is to let us survive as much as possible and survive in Jiangdong, as much as possible, to maintain the effect of our existence.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, no matter what kind of big battle is going to happen in Wangjiang, our army should not appear in the bargaining chips on the Jingnanhou table case.

The meaning is very simple, since it is a strange soldier, it may have a miraculous effect, and at the same time, it may not make any splashes.

This is a variable. According to Jingnan Hou's way of using troops, he played this chess move, and he played it. When he played the chess head-on, he would not naively expect this chess piece to play any miraculous effect.

so,

Even if Sheng Lejun was basking in the sun in Fengxin City, it would not have any impact on the situation on the front line.

A Ming kept his indifferent face, and at the same time reached out and took out his own wine bag, took a sip to ease the embarrassment.

he,

Still don't understand.

Zheng Fan spread his arms, stretched his waist, and said to Liang Cheng:

Up, or down?

If you go down, it won't have a particularly good effect.

Zheng Fan smacked his lips and said, But if you go up, you may never return.

Ah Ming felt that the two of them should have done it on purpose, and, to Ah Ming's surprise, Zheng Fan had grown to this level before he knew it, and he could actually let himself realize for a while...unconsciously.

Then,

A scene that made Ah Ming very upset appeared,

Zheng Fan turned his head to look at A Ming,

asked:

A Ming, what do you think?

I don't know what up and down mean, how do I feel?

But he can't touch his head like Fan Li that second idiot and admit with a simple and honest smile that he doesn't understand,

A Ming can only say:

Actually, they all make sense, and we still have to listen to the Lord's decision.

immediately,

In order to get rid of this embarrassing vortex,

A Ming said:

My lord, the wine bottle is a bit empty, I'm going to fill it with blood.

After a great battle, blood is the cheapest drink.

It would be too embarrassing to stay here any longer, so I could only flee in blood.

Zheng Fan continued to talk to Liang Cheng:

Going down, it's actually the safest way to go to the border of Chu State.

But your lord needs to know that since the Qingluan army has come over, it proves that the checkpoint that the Situ family used to defend the Chu country has been occupied by the Chu people.

Our army going south, let alone whether we can pass the customs, even if we pass, it will be very difficult to get any bargain if we go deep into the Chu country.

Of course, if it's just to brush up your face and reputation along the way, the effect may be good.

I understand, it would be embarrassing to be directly blocked by the city walls of the Chu people, and the Chu army only sent the Qingluan army to participate in the battle this time. Although there are still internal strife in the country, at least it is not as chaotic and overwhelmed as it seems on the surface.

Yes, if you go up, approaching the front line of the snow customs, in fact, it will have a very great restraint effect on the wildlings. What the wildling king is doing now is actually recruiting warriors from the snowfield to go south to supplement his frontline troops. On the one hand, the looted population, property and other things are transported back to the snow field. Although it is said verbally that this is the birthplace of their holy clan, so it must be guarded, but anyone can keep their business. made.

The Qingluan army of the Chu people occupies the front line of Yupan City, more like a nail nailed there, which plays a great role in clamping down on the battlefield. The Chu army in Pancheng may not come out either. They are actually a lone army just like us.

As for whether reinforcements will be sent from Chu State, the subordinates feel that unless the situation on the front line is completely corrupted or the new Chu Emperor has calmed down the interior of Chu State, Chu people should not send more troops to the north in a short time.

Because of this, the effect of our being stuck here may not be great.

Hearing this, Zheng Fan nodded, took the conversation, and continued:

Besides, there is another advantage to going up. Aren't the savages constantly transporting the things they scavenged back to the snowfield? Then let them work for us, and we will cut the beard.

When it comes to looting things, there are really not many people who are more professional than the savages, because there are sword masters in the team, and at the same time, there are two factors that Yanhuang wants to rule this place instead of completely destroying it, which makes Zheng Fan even if he wants to rob After a while, you have to pay attention to eating, but the savages are different. The savages completely scrape the ground. It is said that even the mausoleum has been planed.

If these things can be snatched away, Sheng Le will no longer have to worry about such things as financial crisis for a long time to come.

After the stolen things have accumulated to a certain level, they can find a place to bury them. In the team, there is Xue San, the master of mechanism, and Liang Cheng, the big zombie who is often buried.

So their ability to hide things is absolutely superb.

Even if it is Mojin Xiaowei Xiling Lishi who wants to find it, it is extremely difficult.

Of course, the premise of all this is based on the fact that Yan finally defeated the savages and regained the entire Jin territory, but Zheng Fan still believed that with the Marquis of Jingnan in command, this battle would definitely be won.

Going up, there is a high probability that you will encounter an army of savages. If you stab the chrysanthemum of a savage, the reaction of the savage will definitely be very strong.

But how can you find tiger cubs if you don't enter the tiger's lair?

Most of the businesses that really make a lot of money have to hang their heads on their belts before doing it.

However, Zheng Fan still suggested:

Let's stay in Fengxin City for three days first. On the one hand, let the troops rest and reorganize, and on the other hand, we will also see the reaction of the Chu people.

The Lord is wise.

Okay, that's it, but inform Xue San that he can act first and turn north to open up the army's vision.

The subordinate understands.

Zheng Fan breathed a sigh of relief, and said leisurely:

Although the route has been set, I still feel a little guilty. Are we being too reckless?

We have nothing to lose. Even if we do lose, we can make a comeback. You don't need to worry about it. It's just a game. To put it bluntly, even if the Yan Kingdom is gone, we can return to the field. The big deal is to start again. Just open an inn.

Hehe, don't talk about it, sometimes I really feel that if I continued to open the inn in Hutou City, my life might not be as exciting as it is now, but I can still have a sense of tranquility.

But we may have died in the civilian camp.

The mood of memory was destroyed by this sentence,

Zheng Fan nodded,

Said with emotion:

yes.

Seeing that Zheng Fan had stopped talking, Liang Cheng turned around to leave, but Zheng Fan said again:

Ah Cheng, from now on, it's up to you.

Liang Cheng was slightly surprised, turned around to look at Zheng Fan, and said:

My lord, what did you say?

I don't think you are inferior to Tian Wujing, whether it is in strength or in leading troops.

This is true, the upper limit of each demon king is terrible.

Liang Cheng is no worse than Tian Wujing, the difference lies in himself as the master.

Above the Marquis of Jingnan is the State of Yan and the Emperor of Yan, and above Liang Cheng is Sheng Le and Zheng Fan.

In terms of strength, Liang Cheng's own strength was far from recovered, and it was because of his own limitations.

So, in short, the difference between Liang Cheng and Jingnanhou lies in the fact that he, the master, is madly holding back.

Liang Cheng nodded.

Ah Cheng, there are only so many soldiers and horses right now, and the old rules are still in place. How to fight a war is up to you. The hype and packaging I mentioned earlier, the most fundamental thing is to talk about the actual results of the battle.

A hundred years ago, the first Marquis of Zhenbei became famous in the first battle, we might not be able to do it.

Liang Cheng smiled,

road:

My lord, don't worry, 10,000 riders are enough to do a lot of things.

Zheng Fan walked up to Liang Cheng, stretched out his hand and began to pat his shoulder habitually,

It's the same as what you just said to me. Don't be afraid to lose your family fortune. If you lose it, we can just earn money. Isn't it just for the chicness at the critical moment.

I understand, my lord.

...

All the food and grass were burned by someone!

Alchemy can command his subordinates.

They just defeated a small Chengguo rebel team that came back from the east to search for food. They don't know what happened to this team. They were so unlucky that they didn't meet their companions who escaped from Fengxin City earlier. , and foolishly single-mindedly rushed to Fengxin City, but was defeated by Jin Shuke with two hundred riders.

I'm too lazy to chase after them, but the food they looted must be destroyed.

The grain depot in Fengxin City is actually treated like this. In order to meet the food and drink expenses of the small imperial court, the rebels under Situ Yi’s command did a lot of harm. After all, it is a den of bandits. Looting.

There is actually a lot of grain in the grain depot, but grain is different from goods after all. Goods are easy to store and hide, but grain is not easy to handle, because Sheng Lejun is going to transfer, so leave enough for yourself to carry After the grain and grass, the rest of the grain was burned.

Even the cavalry split into several groups, broke the Wubao near Fengxin, burned their food stores, and made this area into a food shortage as much as possible.

These things were actually done without the knowledge of the Juggernaut, but the Juggernaut seemed to have a premonition, and had been vaccinated by Zheng Fan before, so during this period of time, he stayed in the tent of the military camp to meditate and recover, and did not go out.

Jin Shuke reached out and patted the First Prince's shoulder, and said with a smile:

My lord, is the injury all right?

The First Prince nodded and said, No big problem.

In the fight to win the door, the First Prince was injured. In fact, the injury has not healed quickly. It may affect his battle, but it doesn't affect his activities very much.

After all, it is the physique of a warrior, resistant to roughness.

Jin Shuke raised his saber, and shouted to his subordinates: Be quick, all of you, after cooking the food, go north again.

Are we going north?

The eldest prince has always been his school lieutenant honestly, and the stingy General Zheng really treats him as a school lieutenant, and resolutely refuses to give him the chance to enter the commander's tent and get involved in his own military power.

Therefore, the First Prince did not know Sheng Lejun's general policy.

Jin Shuke replied: I don't know, but I guess it should be. The general asked us to explore more in the north. We have to be careful on the road ahead.

You have to be careful, because if you go north, you will enter the control area of ​​​​the wildlings.

In the next few days, the eldest prince saw the cautiousness of this barbarian general named Jin Shuke, even though he had been verbally looking down on the barbarians, calling them the servants of his servants.

But when he was actually on the battlefield, any of his decisions revealed a very clear and cautious energy.

The distribution of the sentry cavalry, the concealment during the march, the arrangement during the night rest, and so on, are all meticulous.

These experiences are all derived from the survival of Alchemy in the desert.

It's just that at that time, his opponents were other barbarian tribes or the Zhenbei Army, but now, his opponents were replaced by savages.

While keeping in touch with the follow-up army, he continued to explore. Three days later, when everyone was chewing dry food by the stream, Jin Shuke showed a relaxed expression on his face.

road:

These savages must have been overjoyed after entering the customs. What they saw along the way, they reckoned that they even forgot about the guys who ate.

To a certain extent, because of the harsh living conditions, the snowfield savages are similar to the barbarians in some respects.

But judging from what they saw and heard in the past three days, including the results of two attempts to ambush a small group of wildling soldiers and horses, at least in this rear area, the wildlings can really be said to be a little unscrupulous and overly careless.

The First Prince silently ate fried noodles and listened to Jin Shuke's analysis. In the past, even if he was sent to the army for training, he was still a level behind the real grassroots.

Furthermore, the Suppressing North Army has always suppressed the barbarians in the desert. When you do not have the environment and mentality of being a weak person, there are some things that you really cannot understand and understand.

My lord, a little further north, there is a city there.

Ming'an City. The First Prince said.

As the former commander-in-chief of the Eastern Expedition Army, the geographical marks are naturally imprinted in his mind.

Oh, so that's the name, hehe, there should be a debate there.

The population, goods and other things looted by the wildling troops in front will pass through here when they are transported back to the snowfield, and they will be distributed according to the seizures. Each tribe will send escort small leaders here to conduct transactions here.

Some tribes are short of people, some iron, some others, and the spoils are redistributed here;

Then the people of each tribe continued to transport them back in batches, passed through the snow customs, and entered the snowfield.

Looting from the front and dividing from the rear is a very primitive mode of warfare, because one of the characteristics of war is plunder.

Jin Shu is very familiar with this method, because every time the desert tribes form an alliance to attack a place, they always do this. In the words of Mr. Bei, this is the behavior of a group of uncivilized bandits.

For this, Jin Shuke also felt deeply ashamed, it turned out that his former self was so unbearable.

Fortunately, Mr. Bei taught them what they should fight for. Following General Zheng's banner, they will fight for their homeland, their future, and their beliefs.

What belief and faith are, gold art does not understand.

Mr. Bei explained that it seems to mean your children, your wife, such as Shengle City's food and clothing and your beautiful life.

Jin Shuke sometimes has doubts, because in the past when fighting in the desert tribes, the robbery was also for the children and aunts to live a better life. What is the difference between the two?

However, Jin Shu didn't think that Mr. Bei was wrong. He felt that he should have failed to comprehend the true meaning of Mr. Bei's words, yes, it must be like this!

Are we going to fight here? The eldest prince asked, There are no less than two thousand households stationed inside and outside this city.

The military system of the savages is easy to observe, and each household has its own unique flag, or tribal totem.

Ming'an City was the last barrier before the savages reached the snow customs, and it was also the center of the battle field, so it was naturally guarded by heavy troops. Moreover, if the frontline battle was not good, it could also take the main force of the savage army back to the snowfield.

Sheng Le's army had 10,000 cavalry at full strength, and it would be very difficult to attack a city with 20,000 savages stationed there, because the morale and combat belief of the savages were far higher than that of Situ Yi's small court in Fengxin City.

At Wangjiang Station, the savage army forcibly attacked the camp of the left army, and finally drove the left army down the river. As the commander in chief at that time, the eldest prince naturally still had a fresh memory.

And not far from here on the west side, there is a savage army stronghold, only tens of miles away, if there is a situation in Ming'an City, soldiers and horses can be dispatched there to help at any time.

Look first, since General Zheng is leading us north, there will always be places to shit.

It is targeted.

But the First Prince is already used to Jin Shu Ke's way of forcing Xia Yu.

I think it would be dangerous for us to go any further. The eldest prince hesitated for a moment, but still spoke.

He strictly abides by his duty at this time, no matter what thoughts he has in his mind, he will not go to Zheng Fan to talk. In an army, how can a random school lieutenant be able to talk to the general?

Therefore, some things can only be said to one's own peak, that is, gold art.

Jin Shuke turned his head to look at the eldest prince, pointed to his nose, and said with a smile:

My lord, do you mean that we are in danger, or the army?

Army.

oh?

The news that Fengxin was destroyed was not concealed at all, because too many defeated troops escaped. According to the schedule, the savages and Chu people on the front line should have received the news.

Our going north was certainly an astonishing move to enter the tiger's den, but the savages or Chu people only need to send an army to Fengxin City, and then follow the traces to check the location of our army. It is not difficult to gain insight.

Furthermore, you ordered us to eat several savage rangers in the past two days. The savages are not stupid. Their military system seems to be loose, but in fact they have their own way.

We should have been exposed, and our exposure is actually tantamount to exposing the army that has been following us.

My lord and I went to observe outside Ming'an City before, and the savage looting of the Jin land must not be over yet. After they learned the news that Jingnanhou was in command, they would definitely speed up the pace of looting due to Jingnanhou's reputation. Everything that comes will be run back to Xueyuan for the greatest insurance.

But look now, outside Ming'an City, are there still teams transporting slaves and goods in and out?

The whole city looks like it's still the same, but it's actually loosened on the outside and tightened on the inside, which is obviously waiting for us.

And I also concluded that in the outer area, there are probably some savage soldiers and horses who have gone around Fengxin City to explore and investigate here. A fishing net should have almost covered our heads.

We are staring at that Ming'an city at this time, and at the goods and slaves in that city, but the savages may already be staring at us.

It is inconvenient for me to speak these words to General Zheng, so I implore you to speak to General Zheng.

In the eyes of the First Prince, although Zheng Fan's move to the north was very unexpected, savages are not fools, especially the savage king and the few savage generals under his command are not easy to get along with.

The Ming An City in front of him might be the bait.

Jin Shuke scratched his head, was silent for a while, but said:

I'm sorry, my lord, I can't say these words.

Why?

The First Prince has been in the Sheng Le Army for a long time, so he is naturally aware of the atmosphere in this army, an atmosphere where all members worship and trust General Zheng.

The eldest prince did not reject this atmosphere, because this is already a tradition of Dayan. When Zhenbeihou and his father were acting, how many Zhenbei soldiers dreamed of entering Yanjing to generalize the emperor dragon The dream of snatching the chair for my Lord Hou to sit on?

It is no exaggeration for the soldiers of the Jingnan Army to say that as long as the Marquis of Jingnan gave an order, they would really dare to accompany their Lord Marquis to the side of the Qing Emperor!

But the First Prince felt that there was a limit to adoration and following, at least, advice could be used.

Alchemy can remove the water sac in the hand,

road:

Because of what you said, my lord, the general had already told XX before our department set off as the vanguard.

Did he do it on purpose?

So, it was also intentional to kill the small group of wildlings on purpose? Expose the position, also on purpose?

The purpose is to mobilize the savage forces in this area to move closer to him and surround him?

If it is said that all of this was calculated by Zheng Fan, then Zheng Fan must have considered the situation and dangers he faced.

For a moment, the eldest prince was actually a little lucky, glad that he obeyed the rules and didn't go to the military commander's camp to talk to Zheng Fan about this, otherwise, he would really lose face.

If it is said that all of this is General Zheng's plan, then I can only say that General Zheng's method of using troops is superior to mine.

Jin Shu could hear the words, and his face immediately showed a look of deep agreement:

Our general is not only superb in the use of soldiers, but also proficient in forging, smelting, construction, practicing medicine, poetry, astronomy and geography,

In this world, there is nothing my general is not proficient in. It is our honor in this life to follow in the footsteps of the general.

talking,

Jin Shu Ke clenched his fist with his right hand and hit his left chest, making a muffled sound.

at the same time,

The barbarian soldiers who were resting around also made the same move with serious faces.

Every time Mr. Bei finished his speech, he would take everyone to do this action together to show respect and praise for General Zheng.

As a prince, he would instinctively feel uncomfortable in this situation.

Because if there is no accident, as long as this army continues to develop, Dayan will have another army similar to the Jingnan Army, which only knows the commander but does not know His Majesty.

but,

The eldest prince was relieved immediately,

Anyway, this is Dayan's tradition, besides, do I need to worry about it?

I have never coveted the throne, so if I have to worry, it should be the second child who worries.

or,

little six?

It's a bit of a text, and I'll update it today. Well, this chapter still has a lot of words.
