Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

"Your Highness, these Jurchens want to kill me, why don't you shoot them all with arrows?"

Chen Yuanqing couldn't understand Ning Fan's decision. He didn't understand why Ning Fan would let these Jurchens collect corpses on the battlefield.

"War is war, but the bodies of the dead must still be collected. These are the rules of the battlefield."

"Of course there is another reason. If no one takes care of these corpses and buries them, even though it's cold now, they will still rot over time and breed plague. The gain will not be worth the loss."

Ning Fan explained the reasons in detail to Chen Yuanqing. After hearing this, Chen Yuanqing nodded slightly and was convinced.

Seeing Chen Yuanqing's convinced look, Ning Fan also took the opportunity to say: "As a general, it is naturally a good thing to focus on killing the enemy, but sometimes you should also pay attention to strategy and improve your horizons."

While Ning Fan and Chen Yuanqing were talking, suddenly a black-robed young man rushed out of the Jurchen's team to collect the corpse.

He suddenly raised his head, bent his bow and shot an arrow towards Ning Fan who was standing on the city wall.

The distance between the two sides was about 150 meters. The opponent's archery skills were very accurate and they were well prepared.

Seeing the arrow flying towards Ning Fan, Chen Yuanqing was so frightened that he risked death and his face turned pale.

He grabbed Ning Fan and instantly threw Ning Fan to the ground.

This series of movements was so fast that the arrow almost flew past the bodies of the two of them. If Chen Yuanqing hadn't reacted in time, Ning Fan would have been hit between the eyebrows by an enemy arrow.

Ning Fan was also shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. He did not expect that the Jurchen's sharpshooter was hidden among the team collecting the corpses, and took the opportunity to shoot cold arrows at him.

Without waiting for Ning Fan to give the order, Chen Yuanqing loudly ordered the soldiers to release arrows. For a moment, the arrows were like locusts. A large number of Jurchens who gathered the corpses of the soldiers under the city were shot to death in an instant.

"Your Highness, it seems that these Jurchens are really ungrateful. They actually hid in the team and secretly killed His Highness."

Chen Yuanqing had a disappointed look on his face. He had already accepted Ning Fan's theory, but now he was suddenly full of resentment towards these Jurchens.

Ning Fan is the coach, the soul of the army, and the soul of everyone in Jiangzhou.

If Ning Fan does anything wrong, I am afraid that the entire Jiangzhou will be lost and Dakang will be in danger. Chen Yuanqing, who understands the reason, will naturally not let these Jurchens go.

Looking at the piles of corpses under the city, Ning Fan also sighed slightly. It was indeed unnecessary to talk to these barbarians.

The best exchange between the two countries is to compete with each other in terms of force and who has the bigger fist. It is useless to reason with these barbarians. He will only be afraid if you hurt him with your fists.

"By this time, Huang Chao's people should have entered Jianzhou."

According to Ning Fan's estimate, Huang Chao should have arrived in Jianzhou around this time if nothing unexpected happened. At this time, the Jurchen tribe in Jianzhou, which was the rear area, might have suffered a disaster.

"Hmph, these Jurchens have no good intentions. They were enemies of Dawei in the previous dynasty. Later, Dakang spared these Jurchens and allowed them to multiply. Unexpectedly, these people repaid their favor and took advantage of Dakang's weakness. It’s time to take a big bite.”

"In my opinion, these Jurchens should be exterminated. They should not be allowed to reproduce at all. And Jianzhou, a place with abundant water and grass, should also be occupied by our Dakang people."

Chen Yuanqing had a cold look on his face, as if he didn't even know what kindness was in his eyes.

Ning Fan did not persuade him this time. Chen Yuanqing was like a sharp sword. It was useless to tell him the big principles. The only thing that could sharpen Chen Yuanqing was the killing on the battlefield.

In fact, many times Ning Fan wanted to change Chen Yuanqing, but he was also changed by Chen Yuanqing subtly.

After two consecutive victories, morale had reached its peak. Ning Fan received warm attention from the Dragon Scale Army wherever he went.

Among the Dragon Scale Army, Ning Fan is the absolute core figure.

Jianghaiguan is not a city, nor does it have a common people's city. In addition to the Dragon Scale Army stationed there, there are only some ordinary civilians who temporarily moved in from outside the pass. These civilians have temporarily settled in the pass with their families, and they can't get along with the army. Very harmonious.

The Dragon Scale Army has strict military discipline, and there has never been any conflict between soldiers and civilians in the city. The discipline in the city can best be described as Qiu Wujiao.

In the past two days, the Jurchens did not invade again. Instead, they stationed themselves in the camp from a distance and sent outpost camps to observe every day, which seemed quite cautious.

Ning Fan also noticed this situation, but he did not dare to relax at all, because Ning Fan knew in his heart that in the cold weapon era, no matter how strong the city was, there might still be loopholes, in case the Jurchens really found it. If there is a loophole in Jianghai Customs, the consequences will be disastrous.

The Jurchens are not fools. They are the most competitive nation on the grassland.

Although Taizu, the founder of Dakang, killed the population to just over one million, after decades of reproduction and reproduction, the Jurchen population has recovered, and hatred has been brewing in the hearts of the Jurchens for too long. .

Ning Fan has never underestimated the fighting will of the Jurchens, but because of two consecutive victories, the Dragon Scale Army in the city began to drift.

As the head coach, Ning Fan was able to remain calm and sober, but with the entire army in a complacent state, Ning Fan alone could not completely reverse the entire situation.

There were snowflakes in the sky, and a lonely moon hung high in the sky. Ning Fan, wearing armor, led the patrolling soldiers up the city wall.

But after arriving at the city wall, Ning Fan smelled the pungent smell of alcohol. While inspecting various sentry posts on the city defense, Ning Fan discovered that each of these soldiers was drunk and hazy.

After asking, I found out that it was Chen Yuanqing who sent someone to deliver the wine.

A rage was brewing in his heart, but it was a pity that Ning Fan suppressed it in the end.

In fact, I don’t blame these people, nor Chen Yuanqing, but because the recent war has progressed too smoothly. In two battles, nearly tens of thousands of Jurchens were directly annihilated. This huge victory will make anyone get carried away. .

"Your Highness, our city is so high. Unless the Jurchens have wings, they cannot pose a threat to us. Jianghaiguan is a place where it is difficult for Jurchens to fly even if they have wings."

The guard next to him saw Ning Fan's ugly expression and said quickly.

Ning Fan also knew that these guards basically agreed with Chen Yuanqing, that is, this war was not difficult for the Dakang side, and it was impossible for the Jurchens to fly over the strong city of Jianghaiguan.
