Devil’s Advent

Chapter 536 Showdown!

The Juggernaut is home,

Bring Hu Bamei,

It also brought with it the reluctance and heavy yearning that belonged to Xue San.

Gathering, because it is short-lived and precious, the real normality is to go our separate ways for life;

Next, the demon kings and Uncle Zheng, the master, will separate to do their own things.

The blind man and the goldsmith led an army to the rear;

From the earliest Hushang school lieutenant, no one had no money, no weapons, no horses, and then in Cuiliu Fort, he could only choose prisoners. The high-quality soldiers of the Jingnan Army and the Jingnan Army are drooling;

This time, it was finally my turn to feast.

Xue San led the team of artisans to also set off to support the siege of the brothers' troops.

Yesterday, Uncle Zheng invited Gongsun Zhi and Gong Wang to meet in the fort and had a meal.

Because next, there will be a long period of no war on the Eastern Front;

Therefore, Uncle Zheng took Gongsun Zhi's son, Gongsun Yi, to the Wang Tent. He was going to receive King Jingnan's teachings, so he took Gongsun Yi to receive his own teachings.

In addition, Gong Wang's Gong Lin was also transferred by Zheng Fan to serve as the military counselor.

During the dinner, Uncle Zheng asked Liang Cheng to sit beside him.

Everyone's sons are by their side, and with their explicit instructions, Gongsun Zhi and Gong Wang should know who should listen to the next three troops on the eastern front.

After finishing these, Uncle Zheng packed up his things, and went straight to the king's tent of the Chinese army with some followers and guards in the early morning of the next day.

...

Everything seems to be the same as before.

The king's tent is located in the most central area of the army village, separated by independent fences, and has strong independence.

Uncle Zheng's tent is in this small circle, not far from Wang's tent.

It can be seen that Gongsun Yan and Gong Lin are a little excited and a little nervous. After all, what they have to face is King Jingnan, a god-like existence in the Great Yan army.

In comparison, Uncle Zheng is much calmer.

You, go and wash these dishes, you, go and clean up the bones, and after you are done, sir, start to simmer.

After giving orders to Gong Lin and Gongsun Yan, Uncle Zheng tidied up his clothes and walked towards the king's tent.

After nodding with King Jingnan's personal guards at the door, Uncle Zheng opened the curtain and walked in without any notification.

In the king's tent, King Jingnan was sitting there looking at the military newspaper.

My lord.

come over.

Uncle Zheng approached.

Tian Wujing didn't raise his head, pointed at the notebooks piled up on the side of his desk, and said:

approved.

Forehead……

Uncle Zheng nodded, picked up the booklet, and sat down on the next seat.

Uncle Zheng didn't expect to enter the working state, but he didn't have room to comment.

After opening the brochure, I found that it was sent from Yingdu, and it was basically related to logistics.

This kind of booklet, comparatively speaking, is relatively easy to deal with.

Although Si Niang is in charge of the daily work of Xueguan, after all, Uncle Zheng has been sitting in that position for so long, and the structure has been raised long ago. It is not difficult to do these reviews.

There is nothing wrong with the cliché, it is just a routine note, after Mr. Zheng approved it, he put it aside alone.

For some who seek extension without giving specific reasons, Uncle Zheng gave instructions to do it quickly and did not write the second half of the sentence, but anyone who reads this book should be able to guess that it is the delayer is engaged in military law. .

This type of booklet is also placed separately.

There are also some that did give specific reasons. According to his own experience and knowledge, Mr. Zheng judged that it should not be that the officials in the rear are deliberately delaying, but that there are real difficulties.

For example, the heavy rain on the Wangjiang River washed away two pontoon bridges and caused a delay in the delivery of a military supply. This situation cannot be overcome in a short time with manpower and attitude.

Fortunately, there are not many notebooks in this situation, only a few.

The three categories were folded and stacked together. Uncle Zheng picked them up again, and went to the Jingnanhou's case to divide the three categories into good ones.

King Jingnan raised his head, looked at Uncle Zheng, and said:

Approved?

Okay, my lord. I need you to take a look at this stack. I have given instructions on this stack.

There is no need to talk about another set of nonsense.

King Jingnan read a few books, nodded, and said:

Do you know what the king wants to say?

Uncle Zheng nodded and said, It would be a pity not to go to the Supervisor of Ceremonies for the talents of these reds.

hehe.

King Jingnan smiled, stretched out his hand, pushed these folds aside, and said:

For a handsome man, it's too difficult to do everything in detail, but this king's habit is to know everything well, and governing an army is like governing a country. It's extremely fun to order thousands of troops to charge with drums and horses. But most of the time, you still have to sit and get involved in the paperwork.

Yes, the end will be taught.

There will be another batch coming in the afternoon, so you can help the king to review it according to this.

Yes, my lord.

How's the injury?

It's all right now.

Although the true reliance of a martial artist is his own body and body, but essence and spirit, body and spirit are one, and we don't want to pursue the closeness of self and Tao too much like a qi refiner, but at least we must do it. Hold back, otherwise it will be detrimental to your future cultivation path.

This is the conclusion I saw when I went to Dongshan Fort to meet Uncle Zheng who just woke up from a coma.

And that time, Uncle Zheng was first possessed by the magic pill, and then took Xue San's medicine, and his spirit suffered a double overdraft.

Yes, my lord, I remember.

King Jingnan nodded and asked, Order to deliver food outside.

My lord, I have already ordered someone to prepare it. The small hot pot, you have eaten it before.

Are you still in the mood to prepare these?

No matter how busy you are, as long as conditions permit, you have to eat better.

Let's go.

Gongsun Yan was burning the fire, and Gong Lin was sitting there lazily, not on purpose, but because he really had nothing to do. Uncle Zheng had not come out for so long after he entered the king's tent, and the two of them were actually Uncle Zheng's two personal attendants. , and nothing else to do.

When he saw Uncle Zheng and King Jingnan approaching in the distance, Gong Lin immediately got up to chop vegetables.

Uncle Zheng lifted the lid of the pot and added all the vegetables in it himself. He knew that King Jingnan was very busy now, so he didn't have the time to cook vegetables and meat slowly, so he simply made a hot pot with maocai.

Let's eat together. Uncle Zheng said to Gongsun Yan and Gong Wang.

The two nodded, took bowls to fill some, and then squatted far away in the corner. They were both from the second generation of the army, so it was impossible for them not to have that vision.

Uncle Zheng sat down with King Jingnan and began to eat lunch.

At Xishan Fort, Li Fusheng's offensive has been ineffective. King Jingnan said.

Thinking about it, the first wave failed to win, and now it's in a stalemate and exhaustion. Uncle Zheng said.

Tian Wujing nodded, However, with your lessons learned from the past, he went to investigate on purpose. In Xishan Fort, there is a private soldier of the Dugu family of Chu State, not the Imperial Guard.

Although, in the Royal Imperial Army, there is also a general named Dugu Nian, who is also a member of the Dugu family, but they are not together.

In this case, it is a matter of time.

Sweep slowly, there is no rush anyway.

This time, it is the slowest battle that the prince has ever fought. In fact, the prince should prefer to fight this kind of battle, right?

Tian Wujing didn't answer.

My lord, I heard that Wangjiang's river project is still under construction?

It's being repaired.

What is it for? Uncle Zheng asked directly, Is it related to Fachu?

Originally, Uncle Zheng was very surprised by the work of Wangjiang River. This side is in the national war, and the other side is still repairing the river project.

After Xue San came back, he also said something about He Gong.

You know, San'er is an expert in this field, if he sees a problem, there must be a problem.

Uncle Zheng hesitated for a moment, and then asked: The general heard that when Wangjiang defeated the main forces of the savages and besieged Yupan City, you, my lord, ordered to build my Dayan navy.

In the past, Great Yan didn't need a navy at all, but with the development of foreign wars, to face new terrain and new battlefield environment, a navy is a must.

Wangjiang Hegong easily reminded Uncle Zheng of Dayan's newly built navy.

Tian Wujing didn't seem to intend to deliberately conceal it,

He put down the dishes,

Looking at Zheng Fan,

road:

Even now, I don't know if I can succeed. Human power is still a little small in front of the sky.

My lord, this is one of your plans...?

Um.

Tian Wujing picked up his chopsticks, drew a line on the ground, tapped it, and said:

This is Wangjiang.

Uncle Zheng nodded.

At the end of this line, Tian Wujing drew three lines with his chopsticks, and said, This is the Mengshan mountain range, which is the place you walked through when you entered Chu last time.

Uncle Zheng nodded again.

Wangjiang River enters Chu from the west side of Mengshan Mountain, and finally flows into Daze of Chu State. Here and here is the canal of Chu people. Through this river, Chu people control a large area from the west of Daze to Qishan Mountain.

At that time, the navy of the Chu people also went up to the Wangjiang River along this Hebei, cutting off the eastern expedition army that broke the borderless river.

The last time you entered Chu, you went to the east of the Mengshan Mountains.

Uncle Zheng immediately said: It is possible to travel there by boat, and there are also some tributaries that flow down from the Wangjiang River, but the waterway is very short and difficult to navigate. Only small cargo ships smuggled by caravans can go in here. Finally, you have to face the continuous and winding Mengshan Mountain Road, where there are terrains where one man guards the gate and ten thousand men cannot open it.

It is impossible for our army to enter Chu from here.

And if you go to the west of Mount Meng, there is certainly enough river surface to do it, but there, the Chu people's navy is densely covered, and they can easily block the river surface.

If you force your way in from here, it will be no different from directly going out of the south gate to attack Chu through Liang Guo.

at this time,

Tian Wujing's chopsticks pierced into Wangjiang and pulled eastward to the east of Mengshan.

this………

Uncle Zheng suddenly realized.

Before, he really didn't expect, yes, yes, he would use this method!

He thought about water attack and flooding. After all, there have been many battles like this in the past and present, but the location of Zhennan Pass is almost impossible to divert water to flood it.

However, Tian Wujing's suggestion completely resolved the original doubts.

For a while, when Uncle Zheng looked up at Tian Wujing again, he really clicked his tongue.

Tian Wujing ignored the change in Uncle Zheng's expression, and instead focused on his own narrative:

During the summer flood season, not only the water level of Wangjiang River, but also the water level of its lower tributaries is actually higher than usual in a year. To the west of Mengshan Mountain, the river is wide, but my Dayan navy is not Chu people's navy at all. Opponent, going this way is a dead end.

And once Wangjiang is successfully diverted into a tributary, the river to the east of Mount Meng will be able to support large ships in a short period of time.

My Great Yan Navy can take advantage of this opportunity to enter Chu from the east of the Mengshan Mountains from the diverted tributary when the Chu Navy has no time to react.

Hearing this, Uncle Zheng immediately said: This should not be a navy entering Chu.

Tian Wujing nodded slightly, and said: Navy Xinjian built a few big ships, but they are all just looking good. Even with the addition of some remaining sailors received from Situ's family, in such a short period of time, there is no It will not be able to form any combat power.

Therefore, the king did not intend to carry out any surprise attack by the navy. The purpose of the navy to enter Chu was to help the king carry a troop into Chu.

After successfully entering Chu, this army will quickly move eastward when the Chu people have no time to react.

talking,

Tian Wujing tapped a dot with his chopsticks,

This is Zhennan Pass.

Subsequently,

Tian Wujing also clicked a point behind Zhennan Pass, and drew a circle according to this point.

Uncle Zheng quickly replied: This is Shanggu County, and this point is the county town of Shanggu County.

In Shanggu County, Uncle Zheng passed by when he brought the princess back. At that time, he was disguised as a businessman selling grain to the border.

So, when he got here, Uncle Zheng grabbed his chopsticks and clicked a point in the southwest corner of the circle of Shanggu County.

My lord, here, it should be here. There is a city called Jingcheng. To the south of Jingcheng is the Weihe River in the state of Chu. The Mijiang River outside the capital of Chu people is actually a tributary of the Weihe River.

The Mijiang River is actually very narrow and cannot be regarded as a river, but because of the legend that the capital was established here, it was called Jiang, which has a kind of imperial meaning.

Tian Wujing didn't speak, and looked at Zheng Fan, as if waiting for Zheng Fan to continue.

After all, Uncle Zheng is not the stunned man he was back then. The most important thing is that he walked here, thought for a while, and immediately continued:

Jingcheng, which strangles the danger of the Weihe River, is the throat of Shanggu County to the outside world. If the strange soldiers who entered Chu from the east of Mengshan Mountain rush to this place and occupy Jingcheng, it is equivalent to cutting off the entire Shanggu County of Chu State and Chu State. Domestic connections!

Tian Wujing nodded in satisfaction.

However, he added,

road:

Nian Yao is an extremely cautious person. According to the intelligence agency's report, the food and grass of the Chu army this time were not placed in the military stronghold behind Zhennan Pass, nor was it in the county town of Shanggu County, but... Jing city.

Nian Yao must have feared that our Yan army would not attack Zhennan Pass hard after sweeping away most of the obstacles outside Zhennan Pass, but would send out multiple groups of soldiers and horses to go south around Zhennan Pass. placed so far back.

His original intention, presumably, was to limit the battle situation not only to the south of Zhennan Pass, not just a single Zhennan Pass, but even Shanggu County and the entire Shanggu County.

In fact, the Shanggu County of the Chu people has long been empty, not as serious as our ten rooms and nine empties in the east of Jin, but the Chu people will not feel distressed when it is used as a battlefield.

And if our army can take advantage of the Chu people's unpreparedness and take Jingcheng in one fell swoop, we can burn the food and grass that the Chu people mobilized and prepared for this war!

At that time, the Chu army's morale must be hit hard!

Tian Wujing shook his head.

My lord, is the last general right?

On the Wangjiang line, countless civilians were conscripted, and Wangjiang was forced to divert, and the surrounding area was ignored. After entering the Chu State, it is basically impossible for the newly built navy to come out again, and it will also be destroyed.

The surprise soldier sent over at such a price was just to burn food and grass to break the morale of the Chu people?

Zheng Fan,

appetite,

Can be bigger.

Bigger?

Tian Wujing used chopsticks to circle the entire Shanggu County and Zhennan Pass together.

road:

My lord, I want that strange army to block Jingcheng, prevent the reinforcements from the Chu people, and cut off the food road for the Chu people;

At that time, the hundreds of thousands of Chu troops in Zhennanguan, the military forts in the four fields of Zhennanguan, Shanggu County, and other cities in it will all be isolated in a big urn!

Ben Wang,

To eat them all in one fell swoop!

This king, let that Nian Yao, let him kill the main force of the royal family's forbidden army in Dachu, and let the main force of the private soldiers of the nobles in Dachu be buried here.

Losing these elites all of a sudden, the state of Chu must be seriously injured, not to mention going to the Northern Expedition again, and then Zhennanguan Shanggu County is in the hands of my Dayan. When I want to go south, I have the final say Well, he is from Chu, so he can only suffer passively.

In this battle, this king will beat him to death!

Uncle Zheng breathed involuntarily, and when Tian Wujing confided the plan in his heart,

Uncle Zheng was shocked by the size of the chessboard, and also by Tian Wujing's appetite.

Therefore, Tian Wujing said that the siege battles in the periphery can be done slowly and not in a hurry, because he wants to give the Chu people enough time to mobilize, so that the Chu people can mobilize more soldiers, horses, reinforcements, food, grass and weapons to Shanggu County;

Once and for all, he thought!

If this battle is won,

It will not be inferior to fighting thousands of miles a few years ago to destroy Helian's family and Wenren's family. Even after a thousand years, it will still become a battle that history observers will talk about.

Tian Wujing used his chopsticks to click on the location of Jingcheng poked out by Uncle Zheng earlier,

road:

Tell this king, who will lead this strange army, is it suitable?

coming,

familiar feeling,

familiar way,

familiar rhythm,

here we go again!

Uncle Zheng raised his head and looked at King Jingnan.

this time,

Uncle Zheng didn't shirk, and didn't deliberately recommend others, because he was already mentally prepared.

The benefits have already been eaten, and it would be too hypocritical and meaningless to shirk.
