Chapter 161 Horseshoes go north and people look south
At present, there are only two people in Dayan, including Desolate and Qianguo, who dare to put Zhen Beihou in such trouble.
One is Emperor Yan, His Majesty the Emperor who grew up with Li Liangting fighting for chicken legs since childhood;
The other is Tian Wujing.
Although Tian Wujing was younger, Li Liangting was convinced of Nanhou, who was as famous as himself. At least, everyone could sit on the same table, drink and talk, so naturally they could Just kidding you.
The Marquis of Zhenbei felt that he had been wielding the shovel for a long time, digging into the corners of other people's walls,
one shovel after another,
finally dug it out,
and finally dug it open. When Tu took a look,
it turned out to be his own old face!
"The last general will realize his crime, and the last general will never dare to do it again!"
Zheng Fan said sincerely as he knelt on the ground with his hands on both sides of his body.
As a time traveler, being so cowardly is indeed a bit embarrassing for a time traveler.
But Zheng Fan knew the reason, and facing Tian Wujing, Zheng Shoubei decided to fight to the end from the beginning.
"Go down. At noon the day after tomorrow, gather your troops at Nanwang City to listen."
"I will obey your orders!"
"Yes."
"I will retire!"
Zheng Fan left the "lucky bag" where he stood, stood up and exited Big account.
The Marquis of Zhenbei glared at the Marquis of Jingnan and said angrily:
"You should have known that he had the head of Lord Qian, right?"
Jingnan Hou nodded,
"Although Qianguo didn't make it public, King Fu died of illness in Mianzhou City. On that day, it happened to be in Zheng Soon after Fan attacked Mianzhou City. "
"Hey, I watched you grow up anyway, and you are teasing me like this?"
Jingnan Hou shook his head. Road:
"I was beaten by you a few times when I was a kid."
"Hey, don't, don't, I'm old, you are in your prime, I won't fight you!"
Jing Nan Hou said nothing.
"Don't hold grudges about that. I just accompanied Your Majesty to your Tian family to climb over the wall to see what his future crown princess would look like. You kid has to come out to catch thieves. Are you asking for it? What is a beating?”
Jingnan Hou said he was asking for a beating, but he was not angry at all.
The corner of his mouth
even showed a smile,
because he thought of his home at that time in his memory.
…………
As soon as I walked outside, the cold wind blew, and then I felt a chill on my back, and I realized that I had been scared into a cold sweat in the big tent before.
Learn from the mistakes and gain wisdom. You can no longer underestimate the heroes of the world. It is better not to make some principled mistakes again, even if it means losing your capital.
After all, if you lose some capital, you can still hope to make a comeback. If your house is confiscated directly, there will be no fun.
"Zheng Shoubei, be careful of the cold."
Qing Shuang said.
Zheng Fan seemed to not understand, cupped his hands and said:
"Thank you for reminding me, sir."
Next to me, Li Fusheng smiled and said:
"The one from before was really the king's head?"
"Replying to my lord, it is true. "Yes."
Zheng Fan always calls "sir" without adding his surname in front.
In fact, Li Fusheng's original surname was Guo. After he became a servant, he changed it to "Li". However, this was only his official surname. On weekdays, he was still called "Guo" or "Lao Guo".
In my own home, I can also enshrine the memorial tablets of my Guo family ancestors generously.
An era, a period, always has its own customs and customs.
The Yan people have been fighting with the barbarians for hundreds of years. It can almost be said that they were fighting the barbarians just after the founding of the Yan Kingdom, and even before the Ji family became emperor.
After fighting for so long, some things naturally began to influence each other.
The barbarians learned "system" and "reform" from the Yan people step by step. The reason why Wang Ting was able to gather power step by step and reach the level of integrating the desert was precisely because several generations of barbarian kings learned from the Yan people's way of conducting political and military affairs. reform.
But later I found that I really couldn’t hold the Yan people anymore, so I didn’t dare to bite the Yan people anymore, so I turned my head and ran to attack the west. As a result, I overshot the situation, and Wang Ting’s elite and gold Almost all the family's elite was ruined, and the Zhenbei Hou Mansion continued to destroy it for a hundred years, and finally fell to the ground.
As for the Yan State, it can be seen from the Yan State's military system that an ace army is accompanied by a large group of military leaders. When fighting the barbarians, the Wang Ting soldiers were the main force, and the surrounding tribes mobilized their own troops. The rations, soldiers and horses to support the battle are simply carved from the same mold.
The Li family's surname change is exactly the same as the desert barbarian tribes using their own tribe's name as their surname. If their tribe is destroyed and the remnants want to join other tribes, they have to change their surname to express their Surrender, and after that, if you can make a comeback and get out with your wings, you can naturally regain your surname.
This is one of the influences of the Yan people on the barbarian customs.
The name Li Fusheng will only be given the surname "Li" in official situations, such as when receiving rewards from the court or when submitting letters. Otherwise, you can just use your original surname.
For this reason, when Zheng Fan made up lies about his grandfather, Zheng Zhilong, and his father, Zheng Chenggong, Xu Pangpang could not become suspicious. It was precisely for this reason.
"It's a bit of luck." Li Fusheng smiled, "But why was it only submitted today?"
"Reporting to your lord, this head was delayed for a while on the road, and it was also this morning. I just sent it back."
"Yes." Li Fusheng actually asked this for his own sake.
He and Qing Shuang were sitting outside the big tent, and what was said inside would not escape their ears. In addition, it is natural for a warrior like this to have "sighted ears and eyes" after his level rises.
In other words, even if I and the two marquises were whispering earlier, if the two people outside the door wanted to hear it, they would definitely be able to hear it.
Li Fusheng stood up. He was obviously wearing armor, but the armor was a bit fat. If you look closely, you can see fur sewn on the inside of the armor.
Holy shit,
Zheng Shoubei has seen this armor with a thermal layer inside for the first time in his two lifetimes. This is not cotton armor but fine armor. If you sew this inside, A very nondescript feeling.
Li Fusheng put his hands in his armor. After standing up, he bowed his waist slightly, like a lazy man.
"Zheng Shoubei, when we went south this time, half of our town was left in the north. Yours, if nothing else, should be under our control."
"This is the last general. Fortunately!"
Li Fusheng nodded and said:
"I have been in the north for most of my life. This is the first time that I have come to the south. Zheng Shoubei took me to Yincheng. Turn.”
Zheng Fan was willing to work as a tour guide for his boss. If nothing else happened, he would have to fight under his account.
For this reason, Zheng Fan stopped talking nonsense that he was actually from the north.
Zheng Fan came out, and A Ming was waiting outside the camp. When he saw Li Fusheng coming out with Zheng Fan, A Ming did not follow him, but also signaled to the thirty knights from Cuiliu Fort who had brought him over. Don't follow me.
With just a quick look, A Ming could tell a lot of things. He also knew that flattery was more appropriate between two people in private.
One can shoot less immodestly, the other can enjoy it more, and everyone is happy.
The Demon King was, after all, a Demon King. Although his strength was far from restored, his consciousness was still outstanding.
Each of them has their own personality. Sometimes, it seems that someone is lacking in a certain aspect, but in fact they are just too lazy to take care of it;
Even if it is Fan Li, who can Do you really dare to think that he is a fool?
Seeing that Li Fusheng did not ride a horse, Zheng Fan naturally did not ride a horse either. The two of them went out on foot.
The military camp is on the outskirts of Yincheng, almost adjacent to it, so it didn’t take long to walk out of the camp gate before arriving at the gate of Yincheng.
Li Fusheng raised his head, looked at the city wall and the noisy city gate, and couldn't help but said:
"The scale of this city is not as big as that of Tumancheng, but the smell of fireworks is much stronger than that of Tumancheng."
“Sir, Silver The tallest and busiest city in Lang County is not Yin City, but Nanwang City."
"I will be passing by it the day after tomorrow. Unfortunately, I probably won't have a chance to go in and take a look."
< br>Zheng Fanze said:
"My lord, the flowery city of Qian Country is only more beautiful than Nanwang City."
On enjoyment,
On art,
On architecture,
On Aesthetics,
Ganren can be said to have completely destroyed this gang of thugs in the Yan Kingdom for generations.
"The Marquis is right, Zheng Shoubei's words are indeed pleasant to listen to."
"Well..."
"The Marquis also said that even if it is just Zheng Shoubei It is worthwhile for the guard to stay in the tent and talk with him, and to give him a position as a general."
"The general has been hanging out in the market since he was a child, and his family used to run a restaurant, so he can't speak. The business can’t be done.”
Li Fusheng nodded and said:
“Well, a certain young man was quite good at talking back then.”
Zheng Fan discovered that General Li Fusheng had been taking advantage of him,
A few times,
I keep saying that I am very similar to him,
If he hadn't known that he had traveled through time in body and not in soul,
Zheng Fan would have doubted whether he was the illegitimate son of the human Li Fusheng.
However, Li Fusheng’s next words made Zheng Fan realize that he was thinking too much:
“Later, more and more people were killed, and he became less and less lazy to speak. . ”
“You have worked hard to fight barbarians for your country, so naturally...”
"No, I just like to hear the screams."
"..." Zheng Fan.
When entering the city, the Yin City guards saw Zheng Fan and Li Fusheng wearing armor, so they did not do much to stop them.
"Sir, shall we have something good to eat today?"
Zheng Fan has seen the food in Zhenbei Hou Mansion before.
Li Fusheng took a deep breath, nodded, and said:
"Of course!"
Immediately, Li Fusheng reached out and patted Zheng Fan on the shoulder and said:
"You, Very good."
This tone and this action have the feeling of a prince and a devil slapping good people.
Of course, Zheng Fan knew that this was because Li Fusheng was too happy, so his expression was a little too intense.
Zheng Fan chose a restaurant that looked very high-end. When the two came in, the shopkeeper came out to greet them personally and led Zheng Fan and Li Fusheng to the private seats on the second floor.
"You two military masters, I will take charge of this meal today. After you two have had a good meal, kill more of the bastards."
Old shopkeeper He was very successful, but he felt aggrieved and said:
"You two military masters, please don't talk about this matter when you go out."
There are so many officers and soldiers of the Zhenbei Army in the camp outside the city gate, and he really can't afford it if they all come to eat at his place.
"Business is business, and you can get as much money as you need. We have military orders and we are not allowed to eat for free. If the old shopkeeper is serious, he can just order the dishes to be more elaborate and not to serve the wine."
"Yes, yes, yes, the little old man went to the kitchen to keep an eye on it."
After the old shopkeeper left, Zheng Fan picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Li Fusheng and himself.
"In a certain war, there were too many killings. I'd like to trouble Zheng Shoubei to remind him of this when he goes to the battlefield in the future."
"Uh..."
"I don't like beating around the bush when I talk."
"I understand."
This is a killer who is very self-aware.
It seems that those rumors about him are not groundless.
"Actually, in someone's opinion, Ganren is not courageous enough. Killing makes them scared and timid, so they will naturally surrender."
Li Fusheng grabbed a handful of something on the table with his hand. He said while peeling the peanuts that came first.
Zheng Fan understood that the reason why Li Fusheng asked him to take him out was for this reason.
Generally, people who like to kill have a paranoid side in their character.
Zheng Fan is familiar with this kind of people. If he hadn't suppressed the seven demon kings in his stronghold, each of them would be a pervert who likes to kill people.
Li Fusheng knew his character flaws, and at the same time he was a little confused about some things, such as the general policy. In addition, some words were not convenient to say in the military camp, and he was embarrassed to show his face as a general soldier to his colleagues. I knew I was actually asking a little guard for advice.
That’s why Zheng Fan was called out to “go shopping”.
"Sir, your opinion is actually good. Human beings are all afraid of death. If you kill too much and kill too hard, you will definitely be afraid!"
"You think so too? ”
“Yes.”
Li Fusheng picked up the teacup, clinked it with Zheng Fan, and the two drank tea instead of wine.
When the Zhenbei Army broke out of camp, no one from the Zhenbei Marquis to the ordinary soldiers below was allowed to drink.
Li Fusheng put down his teacup, and just then, the two waiters brought four plates of cold dishes. Li Fusheng picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of beef and put it into his mouth, chewing it and said:
" If your guess is correct, you should say no."
"My lord is wise."
"Tell me, don't say these flattering words, I'm stupid here."
Li Fusheng stretched out his finger and poked his head,
"I am a person who likes to kill people and exterminate clans. , It’s actually quite easy to talk to.”
“…………” Zheng Fan.
"Since I asked you to come out together, I just wanted to find someone to ask. Mr. Marquis said that you are not only a nice talker, but also have good vision. I think you should be able to tell me. These principles.”
"Sir, you used to kill barbarians."
"Huh? Is it possible that Gan Ren is harder to kill than barbarians?"
"Of course not, no matter how the barbarians continue to decline, Gan Ren It is still incomparable to them. The problem is that although the barbarians claim to be one clan, they are actually tribes and are very scattered. "
Li Fusheng picked up another piece of cold-cut duck meat and said, "Continue."
"So, in the desert, you can kill one, two or three. Deter more than ten or twenty barbarian tribes not to move or try to challenge the majesty of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion
But in Qian Country, no. "
"Why? "
"Because Qian Country is so big, the population of Qian Country is much larger than ours, Dayan. "
"Just kill for a while longer. "
"But if you want to keep killing, you have to kill for a long time. Of course you want to kill, but you don't kill for the sake of killing. I think the reason why both your Majesty and the Marquis want to fight against Qian Guo is It is not that he wants to plunder the Qian Kingdom, but that he wants to incorporate the territory of the Qian Kingdom into the territory of our country, Great Yan, and turn the population of the Qian Kingdom into our Yan people. ”
"Yeah."
"So, after conquering this territory, the Gan people in this territory have actually become Yan people. It is not worth treating their own people and killing them indiscriminately." ”
“I’m still a little confused. . ”
“Simply relying on killing can indeed solve many problems, but it only solves the problem in a short time. It can even be said to delay the problem until later.
The Marquis is not young. ”
Li Fusheng glanced at Zheng Fan and said:
“You really dare to say anything.”
“Yes.”
“Well, tell the truth. Okay, you continue."
"Not only the Marquis, but also His Majesty is not young. Even your age, my lord, is actually not young anymore. You can kill and fight. But what about you a hundred years from now?”
"After I die, won't there be a younger generation?"
"It's different. We all grow up in different environments and face different problems. The most important thing is to place our hopes on the younger generations. It’s a very irresponsible approach.”
Because according to the laws of a country and a dynasty, the monarchs and ministers who founded or resurrected the country are often the most powerful, and then they start to enter a cycle of inferiority to the next.
“My brain hurts.”
Li Fusheng shook his head.
"We want to kill people and fight. It's impossible not to kill people, but we have to pay attention to the method, and we can't just map freely."
"Okay, after entering Qian Country, you follow me. If necessary, you If you want to stop me, I feel that compared to the barbarians, I I don’t like to do anything to others.”
“Yes, I will obey my orders.”
Actually, Zheng Fan himself didn’t make it clear. He was not very suitable for this kind of explanation, so he could only rely on it. I will speak in general terms based on some historical knowledge from my previous life.
In the history I was familiar with in my previous life, there were many dynasties in the Central Plains that were dominated by young people, but those who only knew how to kill people with a knife were quickly blown away by the rain and wind.
Those who can last for a long time are those who know how to put aside their status and win over other classes to carry out divided rule.
However, Zheng Fan is not worried about this kind of problem in the Yan State, because the Yan people are not barbarians, nor are they savages who drink hair and drink blood. The war between the Yan State and the Qian State is more like the annexation during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. .
According to the blind man, he feels that the Yan State is more like the "Qin State", firstly, the weather is too similar, and secondly, the Yan State had better "die in the second generation", otherwise it will It's really like a bucket of evergreens in an iron hoop. Then shouldn't I and others have to be obedient citizens for the rest of their lives?
In addition, since Li Fusheng is worried about this issue, it seems that the upper echelons of the army, probably the two marquises, have issued similar instructions for the upcoming war.
Li Fusheng, who is accustomed to and likes killing, is the key target.
Soon, the hot dishes arrived, and the dishes were all exquisite. Li Fusheng was very satisfied with the meal. In the end, he also carried out the disc operation. He dipped the steamed buns in the soup on each plate and ate them without any waste.
Zheng Shoubei had no choice but to eat the steamed buns with him.
After eating, Zheng Fan went to settle the bill. Zheng Fan still didn't have the habit of carrying money, but he kept a jade pendant in his arms here and said that he would pay and redeem it together the next time he comes to eat.
This jade pendant is just a gadget, worth a lot of money, but it has no special function.
Next, Zheng Fan accompanied Li Fusheng back to the military stronghold. At the entrance of the military stronghold, Li Fusheng looked at Zheng Fan and said:
"Your subordinates, are you still lacking anything?"
"Well, there is nothing missing now."
"If you are lacking anything, ask Xu Wenzu for it."
"Thank you very much. "My lord."
"In the future, your troops will be directly integrated into our town. Our Northern Army's military orders are strict."
"General, I understand, but I still have something to ask you, sir, so that I can be prepared when I go back today."
"You can ask."
"The day after tomorrow, we will directly "Come on?"
If it's just a gathering, a drill, a military parade, or a speech by Zhenbei Marquis Jingnan Marquis, it doesn't matter.
If we want to go straight into the actual war, there will be a lot of things to prepare.
"Haha, let's get started."
"I finally understand."
"Okay, you invited me this time, and I'll treat you next time."
" Sir, you are too polite."
"Why are you so polite? Since you are from the Northern Army, you know very well that our Northern Army does not lack military pay."
As he spoke,
Li Fusheng touched his mouth,
sighed,
said:
“I am just too short of oil and water.”
You can tell, from the Marquis of Zhenbei to the general soldiers below, they are all foodies...
Looking at Li Fusheng, he put his hands in his armor and walked into the army like a lazy man. Behind the stronghold, Zheng Fan turned around and took the initiative to approach A Ming and the others.
“Have you eaten everything?” Zheng Fan asked.
I didn’t ask A Ming. A Ming is living a very comfortable life now, and there is a lot of blood stored in the ice cellar in the fortress.
"Sir, we have all eaten solid food."
"Well, let's go back then."
Zheng Fan got on his horse, and A Ming on the side asked:
"Who is that official?"
"The general soldier of the Zhenbei Army."
The Zhenbei Army is divided into six towns and has seven general soldiers.
The status gap between the chief soldier and the general soldier is also the largest. For example, if Li Fusheng stood in front of Xu Wenzu, Xu Pangpang would have to salute.
Official positions are the same, but their value is different.
"Our Cuiliu Fort will be merged into his command the day after tomorrow and join Qian."
"Is there going to be a war?"
In fact, the war has already started. These few In August, the fighting on the Yan-Qian border was in full swing.
But everyone knows that as long as the Zhenbei Army or the Jingnan Army does not really move south, the war has not really begun.
"Hmm."
"How to play?"
"I don't know."
"Then let the lord and the general soldier go In the city? ”
"I just had a meal. Oh, by the way, I almost forgot. When you go back, ask the blind man. Just ask him why the problem of the Qian Kingdom cannot be perfectly solved by simply killing, and what additional means are needed."
"Huh?"
Actually, this question is an individual, and everyone can have some knowledge, whether it is from a political or humanitarian perspective, but Zheng Fan's previous answer was not Very satisfied.
"Also, let the blind man write the answer in a way that is interesting, humorous and easy to understand."
"Want to write it down again?"
"Well, let me remind you that the people watching are not very educated, so don't do anything careless."
The seven demon kings under his command all have talents. If there are giants' shoulders to stand on, then only a fool will Not standing.
“I understand.”
Zheng Fan nodded, coughed, and said:
“Go back, inform us of the news, and make other preparations. , and there are many more.”
The group went directly south and returned to Cuiliu Castle.
At dusk, with the news brought back by Zheng Fan, the entire Cuiliu Fort instantly entered into a noisy preparation work.
The preparation of military rations and fodder, the preparation of tents and other supplies, the preparation of arrows and other battlefield consumables, including the preparation of medicines, and so on.
Actually, Zheng Fan could just bring his men and horses to join the army. There is a large amount of food and grass plundered from the Yan clan in Nanwang City. Whatever the army eats, he can use it as well. What.
But after all, we are going out to fight, not on a public trip.
Moreover, Zheng Fan had a hunch that it would be completely different from the previous two times when he went out to steal a handful of chickens and walk them for a walk. Therefore, since he had this condition, he should take good care of himself.
In the yard, Fan Li was trying on armor.
Fan Li is already big. According to Xue San, he can cosplay the Hulk by just applying a layer of paint on his body.
For this reason, Fan Li's armor is also specially made. From the helmet to the wrist guards, the whole thing is a big iron can.
But Fan Li is strong anyway, so he doesn’t feel like a burden;
Other demon kings more or less have some special abilities. Fan Li seems to have no other manifestations except strength?
Of course, on the battlefield, a huge strong man is really useful.
Xue San's armor is mini. Of course, he doesn't wear it often. It depends on the situation. After all, sometimes wearing armor will affect his speed.
Others, including Siniang, wear the same armor as Zheng Fan.
After the experience of almost being shot into a hedgehog in Mianzhou City last time, everyone has learned their lesson now and is starting to become timid.
Because on the battlefield, if you can't predict a stray arrow, your life will be lost.
"It's a pity, I just don't know what the arrangement is." The blind man said with some regret: "Otherwise, we can make some targeted preparations."
"A battlefield with hundreds of thousands of people, It's useless no matter how much you prepare." Liang Cheng said.
The blind man nodded, okay, who says he can’t fight? You have experience, you are right.
“Let’s pack everything up. Bring everything you can, but don’t bring too much. Anyway, there are two horses per person, and we don’t need to bring any baggage carriage.”
All the money in the house has been wiped out.
Xiao Liuzi invested so much in Cuiliu Fort. In fact, it was just for this one move. He hoped that Zheng Fan could rise through military service. In the end, not to mention helping him fight for the throne, after the failure to seize the throne, Zheng Fan If you give yourself a little help and sometimes stand up and take a stand, you can save your own life.
“Everyone, check up and down again.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
.........
The black "Li" flag appeared outside Nanwang City.
On the city wall, Xu Wenzu burst into tears.
Beside him, there were many military leaders from Yinlang County, large and small. Today, everyone gathered in Nanwang City to watch the might of the first-class military of Dayan!
Lao Qiu Ba, who has been in the military, certainly knows what this neat and orderly black sea in front of him, this oppressive military situation that even the wind seems to have been forcibly stopped, exactly means.
This is the real strong army!
One by one, the knights of the Zhenbei Army fell into the open space of the school field at the east gate of Nanwang City. A large number of people gathered near Nanwang City, and a scene similar to that outside Yin City appeared.
However, outside Yin City, the Zhenbei Army had just entered and had been stationed for two days to rest. This time, the army was officially setting out. This murderous atmosphere was enough to make the people " order”.
No one dared to cheer wildly, and no one dared to step forward to rush into the military formation. Everyone just watched quietly.
Zheng Fan led the 2,500 knights of Cuiliu Fort to wait quietly on one side, watching silently as this majestic army of knights passed in front of them in an endless stream.
Six demon kings were all riding horses behind Zheng Fan.
The blind man used his mental power to connect everyone's "inner activities".
"My lord, there are no siege engines!"
There are no siege engines.
Ladders? No.
Rush the car? No.
Trebuchet? No.
As long as you can think of any equipment that can be used to attack cities in ancient times, there is no equipment.
"Sneak attack?" A Ming guessed.
“Sneak attack?” Liang Cheng responded, “Look around, there are so many people, do you know how many traitors of the Qian Kingdom are hidden inside?”
Zheng Fan also said in his heart:
"It is impossible to cover up such a huge army mobilization."
Once the army exceeds 10,000, unless it is in the mountains and ravines, it will not be in the plains. It's almost impossible to cover up your whereabouts.
And it seems that the Zhenbei Army has no intention of covering up.
"The Jingnan Army is also coming." Blind Bei reminded.
The troops of the Jingnan Army also began to pass by. The troops of the Jingnan Army and the Zhenbei Army were actually easy to distinguish.
In fact, the Jingnan Army was more organized and paid more attention to details than the Zhenbei Army. It already had the flavor of the phalanx of later generations.
This also shows how rigorous the Marquis of Jingnan is in running the army. Tian Wujing has been in charge of the Jingnan Army for more than ten years and has long since instilled his will into this army.
As for the Zhenbei Army, they were neat and tidy, but they did not pay much attention to such details. However, the old and new traces on their armor, and the murderous aura exuding from their bodies, actually gave people a The sense of oppression is even stronger.
This is an army that has been fighting barbarians in the desert for hundreds of years.
For many of them, their grandfathers wore this kind of armor to fight against the barbarians, their fathers did the same, and so did they themselves.
A hundred years ago, the Yan people placed a sword on the desert border and forged it with the blood of barbarians for a hundred years!
Now, this sword is raised and will be slashed at the enemy to the south.
"No, how are you planning to fight?" Blind Bei felt a little ridiculous, "If the Jingnan Army is also dispatched, who will guard the home?"
Zheng Fan was also extremely confused. Although he We are still in the stage of learning to fight, but we also know that fighting is never about raising a knife and saying, "Brothers, charge with me." Then everyone shouts "Ula" and presses forward.
This is not the way the army fights, this is the routine of bandits and bandits.
But now, it is obvious that the Zhenbei Army and Jingnan Army heading south are all in a posture to be transferred abroad.
You must know that the 50,000-strong rear battalion of the Jingnan Army has been transferred to the eastern part of the empire to defend the Jin Kingdom. Most of the Yanjing Forbidden Army was taken by the eldest prince to Beifeng County to help defend against the barbarians. Taking advantage of the opportunity to cause rebellion, the remaining troops were also sent to the east to guard against Jin.
In other words, if all the Zhenbei Army and Jingnan Army going south are mobilized for this battle,
On the border of Yinlang County, Xu Pangpang and the others will be the only ones left. These 40,000 to 50,000 miscellaneous troops.
Then
The road behind Xu Pangpang and the others all the way to Yanjing was smooth. There was almost nothing that could be regarded as an organized army.
"My lord, look at the bags hanging on the sides of their saddles, it seems to be fried noodles or naan."
Liang Cheng reminded.
When Zheng Fan heard this, he looked over and found it.
Whether it was the Zhenbei Army or the Jingnan Army, the bags hanging on their horses were all bulging.
Fried noodles are not an original army ration from Cuiliu Fort. The wisdom of ancient people is really not low, but many times, they can only be limited to the existing conditions, especially during wars. Soldiers' rations are a huge burden. As for eating well and nutritiously, it is really a luxury.
It is considered a very good treatment to allow a soldier to eat half full.
In the past few months, the garrison soldiers of the Qian Kingdom were still living a life of hunger and cold.
"It was Xu Wenzu who did it, but he didn't reveal any information." Blind Bei guessed.
Being able to have enough food and manpower to produce so many army rations for the army in a short period of time was the only one in Yinlang County that Xu Wenzu had the ability to do.
This is definitely not a trivial matter. Even if you have enough food, you still need to use a lot of manpower. Just like this, there is still no news at all.
Of course you can say that this is because Xiaoliuzi's caravan manpower is a layman's job in gathering such information, but you must also admit that Xu Wenzu did a good job in this matter.
This fat man is indeed a man of means and skill.
Suddenly, Zheng Fan figured out one thing, and that was why Xu Wenzu had mobilized the five major soldiers to gather their strength for a fight a few days ago. Maybe, he already knew that if he didn't take action, he would It is difficult to hold the position of half a feudal official above the chief military officer.
Because, once the Zhenbei Army and the Jingnan Army join the war, what else will these motley crews do?
“Roar!”
At this time,
a low roar of a wild beast came.
Zheng Fan turned his gaze and saw the Marquis of Jingnan, who was wearing gilt armor, sitting on his beast. On the left side of Marquis of Jingnan, Li Liangting, the Marquis of Zhenbei, who was wearing black armor, was also facing him. As heavy as water.
The brave beast under Marquis Zhenbei's crotch was even larger than Marquis Jingnan's mount. Every time those four hooves landed, they could leave a clear footprint on the frozen soil.
The white breath exhaled between the breaths made people feel that if they put their hands over, they would definitely be burned.
As soon as the two marquises appeared,
the surrounding people, the defenders responsible for maintaining order in Nanwang City, and all civil and military personnel knelt down at this time.
The sound of kneeling and worshiping came from the roaring mountain and tsunami:
"See the Marquis of Jingnan!"
"See the Marquis of Zhenbei!"
"The Marquis is victorious! The Great Yan is victorious!"
"The Marquis is victorious! Victory! Dayan is victorious!"
Everyone was shouting at the top of their lungs. The cold wind in winter was biting, but the faces of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians all around, both men and women, young and old, were filled with excitement. A flush of excitement.
The shouts were not very neat, they were one wave after another, but this kind of noise and this kind of momentum were shocking enough.
Previously, in the military camp outside Yin City, Zheng Fan only felt the enthusiasm of the people of Dayan.
But at this moment, Zheng Fan suddenly had a feeling in his heart. As a time traveler, a stranger who had only lived in this country for a year;
He seemed to really understand. This group of Yan people.
Although the years of peace have passed for a long time, the "happy to hear war" branded deep in the blood of the Yan people has not been erased.
This is a war nation that has been fighting and resisting since the founding of the country.
Suddenly, both the front and rear armies, the Zhenbei Army and the Jingnan Army, all raised their weapons together,
chanting:
< br>“Tiger!”
“Tiger!”
"Tiger!"
The momentum here is really a huge wave!
Even Zheng Fan couldn't help but start to feel excited and was completely infected and affected by the atmosphere.
If it were any other general who went on an expedition, let alone this scene, even if it was one-fifth or one-tenth of the scene, the generals would be so frightened that they would kneel on the ground and shout "Long live the emperor" for fear that the emperor would Be suspicious of yourself.
But at this time, both the Marquis of Zhenbei and the Marquis of Jingnan were marching silently with an absolutely calm attitude.
Suddenly, a group of children ran out from the crowd.
Everyone in this group of children holds a willow branch in their hand.
At this time, Li Fusheng's soldiers and horses happened to be passing by. They didn't do anything to stop them, and just allowed these children to run into the Chinese army with wicker sticks and joy.
“Let them come!”
Li Liangting ordered, and the knights around him naturally would not stop him.
The dozen or so children ran to the two princes and immediately knelt down. Then, most of the children burst into tears.
This is because I was scared...
Same,
Even adults who suddenly came in front of the two princes and two ferocious beasts were probably frightened. The body was paralyzed with fear, let alone a group of children.
But there was still a child. He stood there firmly, raising the wicker in his hand,
Shouted:
"A hundred years of national hatred, the sea is difficult to calm! Please cut off the willows!"
"Isn't this a wolf cub?" A Ming, who watched this scene from a distance, couldn't help but He spoke.
The first barbarian army formed by Zheng Fan, the criminal tribe, belonged to this wolf cub.
At first, he came to Meijiawu sitting on Liang Cheng's shoulders.
Because he was still young, it was naturally impossible for him to join the army.
Needless to say, this must be Zheng Fan's arrangement. At the same time, Li Fusheng was roped in to cooperate.
In Zheng Fan's world, when a leader comes to inspect, it is a basic procedure to find a few elementary school students who are the best-looking and energetic with makeup to go up and give flowers to the leader.
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that he was an adult and would go to war together later, Zheng Shoubei would have really wanted to flatter him while holding the wicker in his hand.
But in the end, after thinking about it, I still rejected this impulse. Otherwise, it would be shameful!
Fortunately, I had thought of this in advance and put the wolf cub inside. Otherwise, these babies would run up and start crying without saying a word. How embarrassing would that be?
The original ceremony would probably have to turn into a large-scale recognition ceremony for the illegitimate son and daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei?
The wolf cub is an unusual child after all.
A hundred years of national hatred,
A hundred years ago, at the height of the sun, the barbarian royal court ordered the entire desert and all the barbarians to obey!
That year,
The Yan State gathered the strength of the whole country and fought a life-and-death battle with the barbarians in the north. At this time, the Emperor of Qian State led an army of 500,000 to personally conquer and began the Northern Expedition!
If the first generation of Zhenbeihou hadn't forced himself to defy heaven and led 30,000 cavalry to defeat the Qianguo army, the Yan State might really have perished under attack from two sides.
Once the Yan Kingdom was defeated, the Barbarian Royal Court would naturally not go westward, but would take advantage of the situation to expand eastward.
Just imagine, if there was no Yan State standing in the way, how could the Qian State and the other two countries be able to stop the most prosperous barbarians at that time?
At that time,
the first generation of Zhenbei Hou planted a willow stick on the border of Yinlang County.
This is also the origin of the name Cuiliu Fort.
It is a pity that the first generation of Zhenbei Hou could not realize his long-cherished wish of going south to drink and immediately go to the capital. This wait will last a hundred years.
Now, this generation of Zhenbei Hou leads the Zhenbei Army!
The Marquis of Zhenbei got off his mount, bent down, and picked up the wolf cub. This old man had tears in his eyes. This was not acting or just showing off. At his level, he no longer had to cover up or conceal anything.
After taking the willow branch from the wolf cub, Zhenbei Hou gritted his teeth.
The first purpose of this expedition is to open up new territories, and the second is to take revenge!
“Hahahahahaha!!!!!!”
Zhenbei Hou laughed loudly.
At this time, a Zhenbei Military Academy lieutenant left the team, rode his horse to Zheng Fan, and said:
"Zheng Fan, who is guarding Cuiliu Fort, has been ordered by the general to enter our town!"< br>
Zheng Fan cupped his hands and said:
"I will obey your orders!"
The captain showed a smile again on his face,
Said:
"Zheng Shoubei, the General Soldier asks you to go to him."
"I understand."
Two thousand five hundred people from Cuiliu Fort are riding on the beam. Cheng led the troops into the marching team, and nothing went wrong.
Zheng Fan, on the other hand, rode his horse to Li Fusheng's side.
Li Fusheng, who was sitting on the horse, turned to look at Zheng Fan and said
"Your method is good. The Marquis is very happy."
Zheng Fan was reserved and reserved. Smile politely.
“Haha, it’s nice to have you by my side.”
"It is an honor for the general to follow you."
"They used to say that I can do nothing but kill people. Now they have nothing to say, and I will flatter you."
< br>"..." Zheng Fan.
"Please stay with me and be my personal barracks."
"Thank you, sir, for your sympathy."
In the personal barracks, there are not many opportunities to go to the battlefield. At the very least, there are fewer opportunities to serve as vanguards and fight vicious battles.
“I have no sympathy for you. My original military camp knelt outside the military tent for half the night yesterday. I couldn’t resist them, so I let them go to the front.”
“………… "Zheng Fan.
“Remember, when you get to Qian Kingdom and you think I shouldn’t kill someone, you have to remind me.”
“I will obey my orders.”
After the army entered and exited the boundaries of Nanwang City, it obviously began to speed up.
Zheng Fan didn't know how many parts the 200,000 Zhenbei Army and 50,000 Jingnan Army were divided into, nor did he know which part the Jingnan Marquis and the Zhenbei Marquis led respectively.
With such a large-scale army march, to be honest, you feel like a drop of water in the ocean, just following the general trend.
It’s just that the speed increase is starting to become extremely obvious.
In the distance, Zheng Fan seemed to see the shadow of Liang Town on the west side.
It was a fortified city, an extremely strong fortress.
But it was obvious that the army had no intention of attacking Liang Town.
The army,
is continuing to go south, south, south!
After that, Zheng Fan noticed that his unit passed through a somewhat familiar boundary. Zheng Fan knew this boundary well. Mianzhou City was only more than eighty miles away from here.
When they entered Qian for the first time and came out of Mianzhou City, in order to avoid the pursuit of the Qian Kingdom cavalry, Zheng Fan and Liang Cheng led their troops almost back and forth along the east-west direction of Mianzhou City.
Mianzhou City is the defense line of the Western Army.
However,
the army did not turn, but continued south, south!
We will not attack the three sides of the country, nor will we attack the Western Army,
This has directly skipped the two lines of defense of Qianguo!
The army is galloping with no intention of stopping.
Zheng Fan finally couldn't bear it anymore. As the commander of the personal barracks, Zheng Fan was naturally left beside Li Fusheng. Zheng Fan shouted:
"Sir, our army is going to fight. Where? "
Qianguo's three important towns will not be attacked, and the Western Army will not attack. Is this the plan to directly attack Qianguo's third line of defense?
But aren’t you afraid of being made dumplings by Chinese people?
Actually, there is a bold guess, but Zheng Fan dare not make that guess.
Because before, when I and the demon kings deduced how Jingnan Hou and Zhenbei Hou would break the situation, they didn't dare to think in that direction.
Because this means,
Yanjing, where Emperor Yan lives,
Between the Qian Kingdom's 700,000 troops,
only Xu Pangpang and his tens of thousands of miscellaneous troops are left to resist?
This, in ancient times, there have been generals who fought like this in battles. Are there any generals who dare to fight like this?
Open up your empty hometown directly to your emperor!
A smile appeared at the corner of Li Fusheng's mouth, and he seemed to be very satisfied with Zheng Fan's expression at this time,
At the same time,
waved his horse whip and shouted:
“Go to Beijing!” (End of this chapter)
