Devil’s Advent

The rising smoke belonging to the Yan army indicated that the Yangshan stronghold was broken.

The Yan army sentry horses quickly informed the news to all ministries that since Yangshan had been broken, those who should disengage should disengage, and those who should withdraw their troops should withdraw.

The main forces retreated separately, but the small groups of troops that were originally used for early warning during the war did not withdraw. Instead, they were released in accordance with the pre-war arrangements to enrich the already dominant forces south of Zhennan Pass. sentry cavalry strength.

The role of pulling out the Yangshan stronghold is to cut off the operational connection between the various military forts and strongholds of the Chu people. The second is to completely bring the front of Zhennanguan into the control of the rhythm of the war of the Yan people, so that the Chu people have worked hard. The military forts and strongholds that Ku built here have become isolated islands.

When you raise a large army and come out, the Yan people's army will immediately move upon hearing the news and confront you. If you come out with a small force, you may be able to get out, but you will not be able to go back.

The root cause of this phenomenon is not just the loss of a Yangshan village, but the original pattern of Yan attacking Chu and defending; since the Chu people are the defenders, it is inevitable to lose the situation either actively or passively control.

Of course, there will definitely be a song on the battle report;

Uncle Hirano led the Xuehai iron cavalry to smash the Yangshan stronghold in one fell swoop, completely establishing the style of the battle against Chu, laying a solid foundation for breaking the Chu people's defensive iron formation, and speeding up the process of using troops against Chu;

In fact, it can be considered targeted.

In the next two days, except for the sentry cavalry being more active than before, all the soldiers and horses should return to the village and prepare for it.

King Jingnan did not hold another military meeting because of this battle, because the arrangement for this battle had already been decided at the time of the last military meeting, and there was no need to call everyone here at this moment. Just to celebrate Hirano Bo.

After all, this battle has just begun.

Yes,

It really just kicked off.

Uncle Zheng, who returned to the camp, first took a comfortable hot bath.

The bathtub is placed behind the handsome tent. There is a door between the two tents. The front is the office area and the back is the living area.

This is the advantage of the battlefield being close to his hometown. In the past, Uncle Zheng had never been treated like this when he went out to fight.

I took a shower and had a good night's sleep.

After earnestly cultivating enough energy, when he went out to be the commander-in-chief again, what he saw was a scene in full swing.

After rushing to the Yangshan Village, the soldiers and horses from all walks of life were divided into several fronts and began to attack the city. Naturally, it is impossible for all the soldiers and horses to attack the city. There must be a few routes left for maneuvering, but those are Tian Wujing s arrangement.

Before Zheng Boye, what needs to be conquered is the Dongshan Fort of the Chu people.

A fortress with a large scale.

A few days ago, in order to weave this bag, all the Chu troops stationed in it, but in order to rush for help, this army was pulled out again, and collided with the Gongwang Department several times, causing damage to each other.

But after Gongwang received the news that Yangshanzhai had been breached, he did not stop it any more. Instead, he gathered his troops and horses to block the possibility of the Chu army withdrawing to Dongshan Fort.

After all, he is a veteran on the battlefield, he can be appreciated by Situ Lei, and he can still be alone under the rule of the Yan people after the change of heaven. His own ability is beyond doubt.

And in terms of his style of acting, he is also very popular with Uncle Zheng.

You can go anywhere with that imperial guard, but you never want to go back to Dongshan Fort, because they will be the ones who will attack Dongshan Fort in the next battle.

In fact, this trick is very insidious, because unless you eat this Chu army, otherwise, even if it can't go to Dongshan Fort, this imperial imperial army of Chu will go to other military forts. In the end, it will be assigned to attack that The Yan army in the military fort will encounter great resistance.

However, this kind of spirit of giving up everyone for a small family,

He won the heart of my uncle.

But right now, in such a lively scene, assembled trebuchets, battering rams, arrow towers, siege crossbows and other ordnance began to be transported forward;

I can see Uncle Zheng,

Eyes are a little wet.

Xue Haijun, who has always been famous in the Yan army for manufacturing siege equipment, now finally has the opportunity to use siege equipment to attack the city in a down-to-earth manner.

After waiting for a long time, looking forward to it for a long time, finally this day came.

As for the previous siege in the snow field, can that be called a siege?

There is just one thing that makes Uncle Zheng still surprised. Logically speaking, San'er should be back.

Although there is a group of people from Tianji Pavilion in his army who can replace Xue San's role, but the voice of attacking Chu has been preached for so long, it is impossible for San'er in Liang Guo not to know about it.

However, before Uncle Zheng took any more time to remember San'er who didn't know where he was, the blind man walked over and reported:

My lord, Gong Wang and Gongsun Zhi are here.

It's not unusual for these two people to come to me, because there are only three troops in the Eastern Army, and Tian Wujing has already pointed out that he is the speaker of this army.

Tell He Chunlai to make some delicious treats. Uncle Zheng smiled wryly after finishing speaking, and said, As for me, I have always wanted to get along well. Hello, everyone, everyone, let's be friendly Yes, but Lao Tian always likes to roast me on the fire, tsk, it's uncomfortable.

In the last military meeting, Tian Wujing ruthlessly drew a wave of hatred from his colleagues. It happened that I was still bowing to everyone outside the king's tent before. In comparison, the front is arrogant and the back is respectful, so don't be too clear.

The blind man smiled and said, Maybe, in King Jingnan's opinion, you don't need to take the road of building relationships, just like King Jingnan and King Zhenbei, who do they need to have relationships with?

One's own strength is strong enough, and the status is high enough, below, it's all about relationships.

It's true to say that, but I'm still not used to it. Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is more in line with my taste, haha.

hehe.

Okay, go and lead them in, I'll wait for them in the handsome tent.

Uncle Zheng turned around and went back.

The blind man found a personal guard and asked him to find He Chunlai to cook.

On the other hand, he wandered into a tent while peeling oranges. At this time, A Ming was leaning against the tent and drinking wine.

Tell me, why is our lord's luck so good?

A Ming was a little surprised and said: This is also called good luck? You didn't know that day, the master was riding a horse, and the stones from the trebuchet were aimed at him.

Didn't he not be crushed to death?

Ah.

What I mean is, the lord may really have a personality charm. You said, it's normal for a woman to have several godfathers. If you like me, one is for money or power, and the other is for her body. .

But our lord is a man, and it is too difficult for a man to find a godfather who is sincere to you.

The news from my hometown says that Sha Tuo Que Shi has woken up?

The blind man shook his head and said, It's not that godfather.

Ah Ming understood, and said, This one is Brother Gan.

The blind man laughed while eating the orange,

road:

It's not a meaning yet.

immediately,

The blind man said again: You just gave King Jingnan a generation shorter in front of King Zuoguli. If King Jingnan finds out, you will really be a dead bat.

I said, what kind of emotion are you here to send?

My feeling is that I didn't think of it before, but now I think of it. Just now, the two neighbors next door, one Gongsun Zhi and the other Gongsun Zhi, both came to pay respects to our lord.

I didn't bother to think about it earlier, but I just thought about it and found four words.

A Ming raised his head and drank.

silence,

silence;

The blind man couldn't help coughing lightly.

A Ming put down the wine bag, looked at the blind man curiously, and said eagerly:

Quickly, what four words are they?

The blind man smiled,

road:

Father as a mountain.

………

Gong Wang and Gongsun Zhi walked into Uncle Zheng's tent together,

Uncle Zheng sat there, just got up,

The two generals immediately knelt down:

At the end of the day, Uncle Bo will open the flag to celebrate victory!

At the end of the day, Uncle Bo will open the flag to celebrate victory!

The two generals are actually commander-in-chief, equal to Uncle Zheng. Although Uncle Zheng has the title of title, son-in-law, and general of Chengguo, but in the army, they don't really value this much.

Moreover, soldiers, especially generals, are often bound by the morale of an army, so their tempers are generally straight, and they are not willing to bend their knees easily.

Kneeling so simply at the moment, in fact, when they came here, they had already thought about how to deal with the relationship between the three of them. , Uncle Zheng is only half a stature taller than them, but in fact, they have completely placed Uncle Zheng in their own top position.

Seeing this, Uncle Zheng didn't rush forward to help them, but sat back down again, and said with a smile:

The two generals please rise.

Uncle Xie!

Uncle Xie!

Gong Wang and Gongsun Zhi stood up.

Uncle Zheng looked at them and said, We are members of the army. We are members of the army. Actually, we don't like civil servants. If you kneel, I'll go up and help you. If you still kneel, I will help you. I have to help, and finally, I have to kneel down with you, and the three of you kowtow to each other.

This is so troublesome, I'll just sit here, let's just skip this step.

As for me, I am an honest person with a straight temper, and I don't like to beat around the bush whether it is speaking or doing things.

let's go

The two generals will hang out with me. From now on, we will receive meritorious service together, be promoted together if we have officials, and be promoted together if we have titles. From now on, we will all be brothers of our own.

Thank you uncle for your support!

Gong Wang knelt down on one knee again and saluted.

After all, he was born in Jin Dynasty. Although he is shrewd and measured in doing things, he is unavoidably free and easy.

On the other hand, Gongsun Zhi laughed out loud when he heard the words, and sat directly on the lower right side of Uncle Zheng, saying:

Hahaha, Uncle, then I will not be polite. In the early years, Uncle gave wine to my father-in-law. My father-in-law must be like a treasure. He would not let me drink a few sips easily. In fact, I have long read it. Uncle's wine is gone.

During the military meeting that day, the lord assigned me to my uncle to obey orders, I was so happy in my heart, all the wine worms came out, hahaha.

Hahaha.

Uncle Zheng smiled and pointed at Gongsun Zhi.

This guy actually doesn't look so rough, but when he speaks and does things, he actually carries the shadow of Li Bao. Moreover, the biggest difference between him and Gong Wang is that he is from Yan.

That wine is not because Big Brother Li is too stingy to give it to you, but it is used to treat the wounds of the wounded to prevent festering, and it can save lives.

So, here, I have prepared two large carts. When you leave later, each of you will pull back a cart. The prince's army is strictly controlled, and drinking is not allowed in the army. So today, I heard that the two of you are coming, and I did not prepare any alcohol. Everyone Just replace wine with tea.

Also, after you take the wine back, you have to take care of the gluttons in the barracks;

How about this, I will send two military medical teams to each of you. In terms of wounded treatment, I am not talking big, but in the whole army, I am the best here. Let them do some training for your military doctors. of.

In addition, cattle and sheep, etc., are also taken away, and let your brothers in the camp also beat teeth for sacrifice.

This is the direct benefit.

People take you as a big brother,

As a big brother, you have to show something, otherwise people are born with low bones and like to kowtow to you?

Of course, these can only be regarded as small favors, and in the future on the battlefield, leading them to win battles and make military exploits is the right way.

This is the reason why King Jingnan is still able to win the support of the leaders of all walks of life even though he has destroyed his entire family.

Uncle Xie!

Uncle Xie!

Gong Wang also stood up and took his seat.

In fact, Uncle Zheng valued him more.

Gongsun Zhi felt that he was familiar with Uncle Zheng, so it was easier to get into the mood because he was from Yan.

But for Uncle Zheng, Gong Wang, who is from Jin, is better developed because he is from Jin.

It's not that Uncle Zheng dreamed of rebellion,

But if there is such a day,

you say,

Is it easier to incite Gong Wang to do things with you or to instigate Gongsun Zhi to do it with you?

Brother Gong.

Uncle.

Let's also say something bright. Perhaps, among others, there is a distinction between Yan and Jin, but with Ben Bo, there has never been such a thing. Yan people and Jin people have always been treated equally with Ben Bo.

Haha, uncle, don't talk about this, because uncle treats Jin soldiers so well, brother, many soldiers under my command started talking, and want to go to uncle you to pay.

Uncle Zheng also laughed and said:

Don't worry, there will be that day.

As soon as these words were said, Gong Wang and Gongsun Zhi's eyes flashed immediately.

When they came, they knelt down together at the same time, in fact, they made their gestures clear.

But who would have thought that Uncle Hirano not only accepted it readily, but also led them to jump wildly.

They thought they were fast-paced, but Hirano Bo was the real super fast.

listen,

Don't worry, there will be that day.

It meant that their subordinates would sooner or later share the wages of his family with Uncle Hirano's subordinates.

It stands to reason that, as the chief general of an army, he would often feel disgusted or even repelled such a loss of independence.

but,

It can only be said that when King Jingnan assigned soldiers and horses to station at the beginning, he might have already planted a hidden line.

Gong Wang is a native of Jin, he himself has no chance of being promoted, at most he is in the rank of title, he can have some thoughts, but if he wants the court to let a person of Jin origin be guarding one side now, even Gong Wang himself can't help it. I feel very unrealistic.

But under his command, not only his own son, but also many of Paoze's nephews were with him. It can be said that half of the future of the Situ family was on him. We have to consider and think of a way out for them.

One of the easiest ways out is to raise the flag to rebel and restore the land of Jin...

But even Uncle Zheng dare not think about rebellion now, let alone him.

As for Gongsun Zhi, as Li Bao's son-in-law, he separated from Li Bao's son after Li Bao's death. Of course, the imperial court deliberately broke up Li Bao's troops here, but if he himself is very loyal If you don't want to, it is impossible to really divide it.

Therefore, his position is very embarrassing. The generals from Zhenbei Army, such as Li Fusheng, don't like him at all, and the other generals don't regard him as their own.

It's comfortable to be separated out and take charge of one side alone, but he can't enter other circles.

Therefore, both of them now have the need to hug their thighs.

Uncle Zheng's newly promoted thigh not only shines dazzlingly, but also has no external attachments other than his own troops and horses. Naturally, it is the best choice now and has the brightest future development potential.

a party,

Everyone is very happy.

Officially speaking, it was the three leaders of Dayan's eastern army who attacked Chu, and reached a consensus to work closely together for Dayan and to continue to fight for the great achievements of His Majesty the Emperor Yan;

From a personal point of view, it is a faction at the top of the army with Uncle Zheng at its core, which was formally established today.

Even Uncle Zheng himself,

In the interplay of drinking tea instead of wine,

I can't help being a little dazed,

things are going well,

It seems too natural, as it should be, and too smooth.

………

On the upper reaches of the Wangjiang River, it rained continuously for many days.

In addition, it is now the flood season of Wangjiang, and for a while, the dikes and dams everywhere are quite jittery.

To transport food and various supplies for the front line, a large layer of manpower near Yingdu has been exhausted. Now, it is necessary to continue to squeeze out manpower and material resources to manage the river work.

Not long after his comeback, Sun Youdao, the Taifu of Chengguo, was so busy that he was haggard.

Fortunately, because Uncle Zheng led the troops into the city last time, Yingdu's officialdom was cleaned up, so although the task was difficult, there were not many obstacles in doing things.

Here, here, here, and here, hurry up, hurry up!

The corners of the fifth prince Ji Chengwen's lips were blistered, which was enough to show how anxious he was these days.

Originally thought that coming to Yingdu this time was just a formality, but I didn't expect that there was a war ahead, and the river project had to be continued here.

Manpower and material resources are obviously insufficient. Now, all the slaves and servants of all the big families in Yingdu City have also mobilized and are busy on the river embankment.

The fifth prince just took a breath and took a sip of water when he saw a dwarf standing on the embankment over there.

Next to the dwarf was a horse, and immediately there was a woman sitting on it. The woman had a big face and even bigger hips. Sitting on the horse's back, the horse's butt looked a bit delicate.

Xue San stabbed the river embankment with a dagger,

scolded:

Damn it, the materials for building the embankment are bought from Pingxixi, right?

Dare to ask Mr. Xue, which sect is Bing Xixi?

Um, this, you don't need to know.

Xue San turned around, faced the river on the other side, put his fingers to his mouth and muttered to himself while biting his nails;

Hiss, this doesn't look like a river repair project.
