Chapter 211 Jianghu People
“Do you know that based on your words, even if you die ten times, you will not be unjust at all.”
Zheng Fan sat in silence, not doing anything intentionally. Feelings of panic.
Without the political sensitivity and understanding of Marquis Jingnan, Zheng Chengshou would not dare to dance on the tip of a knife.
Dayan and the Situ family maintained peace in a tacit understanding. From a noble point of view, it was because the Yan State respected the Situ family and specifically raised a hand to defend the Great Xia kingdoms from the invasion of barbarians.
And if this is not the reason, it can only be that someone among the three giants has a physical problem, and when this person has a physical problem, it will directly affect the country's decision-making.
Only,
Your Majesty.
Tian Wujing seemed to have just stopped there and had no intention of going any further on this topic. Instead, he said:
"What do you think of the situation in Jin at this time?"
Zheng Fan immediately replied:
"Master Hou, originally the land of the Three Jins was supposed to be extremely chaotic. I, Dayan, want to completely digest it, and it will take a lot of time and energy, but now the Dacheng Kingdom of the Situ family The establishment, in comparison, helped us divide the three Jins.
This time the three Jins are in turmoil, and many powerful powers have emerged. It seems to have the potential to start a prairie fire, but they are all false fires. Our army. Even across the shore Watch the fire and it will burn out, and it will once and for all pull out those who are disloyal and disobedient to discipline."
"Just watching won't do it."
< br>“ Yes, what the Marquis said is true. What the general means is to watch first, and then start putting out the fire when it reaches its peak. You don’t have to use too much force. After all, no matter how weak the fire is, you won’t accidentally burn your hand. Feel good.
Slowly attack, slowly drive away, slowly draw out, and finally, these flames will naturally be involved in the Situ family. "
"Wouldn't this increase the momentum of his Situ family? "
" Otherwise, Mr. Hou, if the orange grows in Huainan, it will be orange, and if it grows in Huaibei, it will become zhi.
The powerful families here, the reason why they can create such momentum is very similar to the powerful families in Dayan. They just rely on the popularity of the people on the ground, and once they leave When you leave your homeland and go to a new one, just like a fish leaving the water, you will become a refugee. Not only will you lose your previous arrogance, but you will become a burden and burden. "
"Your opinion is indeed good. ”
"The Marquis is so complimentary."
"It's Huainan County and Huaibei County, or this Huai, is it a river? Where is it? Why have I never heard of it?"
“………” Zheng Fan.
“That’s it, let’s not think about this anymore.”
Tian Wujing stood up, and Zheng Fan quickly followed suit.
"Zheng Chengshou."
"Master Marquis, the general will be here."
"From the time you left Cuiliu Fort to where you are now, have you ever regretted it?"< br>
“When I return to the Marquis, I am so sorry that my intestines are green.”
“Oh.”
"The general is also greedy, thinking that since he is going to Jin to take up his post, he should establish a good relationship with the Emperor of Jin first so that he can take care of him no matter what happens in the future. Who knows..."
"Zheng Chengshou , are you sure that I will not blame you, so you are so open-minded to me?"
As a general of Yan, you actually thought about secretly communicating with the Emperor of Jin in advance. This is simply ridiculous. His heart can be killed.
"You are not accustomed to it, Lord Marquis."
Zheng Chengshou borrowed a stick to climb up.
"You are a talented person, so I will pamper you."
"Yes, a good bird chooses a tree to roost. Under the hands of the Marquis, my heart will be bright and happy."
" But I have something to remind you.”
“Please tell me, sir!”
“Are you from Yan?”
"Yes!"
"You are the general of Yan, aren't you?"
"Yes!"
"Has Dayan ever failed you?"
" Never! ”
"If Dayan does not let you down..."
"Then I will never let Dayan down! I will not let down the Marquis!"
"Remember the first half of your sentence."
"I will keep it in my heart."
Jingnan Hou looked out the window calmly. It was night, and it started to rain outside.
At this time, in the southern part of Qian Kingdom, winter has passed, and the breath of spring is already very strong. However, since Jin and Yan are both located in the north, this winter will naturally be longer.
Therefore, it is not unreasonable that the literary style is not strong in the land of Yan and Jin. There are four seasons throughout the year, and winter is the longest. Unlike the Qian Kingdom, most places have distinct four seasons.
If you cannot see enough spring flowers and autumn moon, you will naturally not be able to raise a real poet.
But sometimes, living too comfortably can easily make one's bones soft.
Jingnanhou raised his hand,
Said:
“Zheng Cheng is listening to the order!”
Zheng Fan immediately knelt down on one knee and said sincerely:
“The general is here!”
< br>"I will gather your troops quickly and draw out a thousand fine cavalry. I will use them as I see fit."
"I will obey your order!"
After receiving the order, Zheng Fan stood up and asked with a shy face:
"Master Hou, who are you going to hit?"
"Whoever hit you just now, let's hit him now."
"Fight the Jin army?"
After the establishment of the Dacheng Kingdom, the only army in the Three Jins that can be temporarily called the Jin Army is actually the Yu family's troops in the capital.
After all, Yu Huacheng has not been canonized by the Dacheng Kingdom. In name, he and his subordinates are still part of the Jin army, even though they were preparing to put the butcher knife on the neck of their own emperor two days ago.
"How to stabilize the situation in the Three Jin Dynasties. The people in the court have their own considerations, but I also have my own considerations. You can listen to what the people in the court say, but don't affect your own work."
“Then they were earlier...”
“They retreated not because of my reputation, Tian Wujing, but because they did not dare to attack me at this time for fear of offending me, Dayan;< br>
I am standing in front of them, and they themselves do not dare to kill me. Do I still want to thank them for not killing me?
This place is already the land of Yan.
How can they come and fight and leave whenever they want?
Zheng Chengshou, I admire you very much, but there is one thing that I feel you lack. As a military general, you must have wolf nature. You can retreat temporarily, but retreating is not to preserve yourself, but to Looking for an opportunity to bite the opponent's neck. "
"I will eventually be taught. ”
Zheng Fan felt that Tian Wujing's words today were a bit too much, and he obviously wanted to mention something about himself.
However, since Tian Wujing said he would send troops, Zheng Fan naturally sent troops. Now, after resigning, Zheng Fan immediately called the blind man and Liang Cheng to arrange the work.
When he got his son, Marquis Jingnan, wearing a gilt armor, rode the rested Pixiu out of Wubao. Behind him, there were more than a thousand knights following him.
The moon is dark and the wind is high,
Thousands of horses roll around Ping Gang.
When this group of troops arrived at the foot of Xinsu City, the two flag-carrying knights brought by Jingnan Marquis took the initiative to step forward.
After a while,
The gate of Xinsu City opened from the inside, and a general soldier rode out, passed the crowd directly to Tian Wujing, saluted on the horse and said:< br>
“See the Marquis!”
“Leave one to watch the city, and the rest to join the battle.”
"General, I obey!"
The Jingnan Army is a military force built by Tian Wujing himself. Not to mention that Tian Wujing is the top talker in the newly promoted Yan Kingdom at this time, even if he It's nothing, but he can still easily mobilize the Jingnan Army here to obey his military orders.
Whether it is the Zhenbei Army or the Jingnan Army, in fact, the army only knows the Marquis but not the Majesty.
Only Emperor Yan could accept or even actively promote this situation. If it were any other emperor, as long as he had the ability, he would definitely be thinking about cutting down the vassal and "releasing military power over a glass of wine."
Soon, four thousand cavalry emerged from Xinsu City and merged with Zheng Fan's troops. This team already had a scale of five thousand cavalry.
To deal with a medium-sized battle, five thousand cavalry is actually enough.
The troops and horses were reorganized. Marquis Jingnan was very particular about the preparation of his troops. He liked to peel off the chaos and complexity of the battlefield, so as to find opportunities to disintegrate or defeat the enemy.
Zheng Fan's troops were temporarily incorporated into this army, and Zheng Fan himself followed Jingnan Hou.
The demon kings did not follow, but stayed in their own team. After all, in the eyes of the demon kings, it must be the safest for the Lord to follow Tian Wujing, a third-level martial artist.
The sentries and cavalry were not released. After marching eastward for dozens of miles, they all dismounted and rested under the order of Marquis Jingnan.
Zheng Fan knew that this was to build up horse power and restore both people and horses to their best condition.
Tian Wujing leaned against his Pixiu. The Pixiu was also very considerate and took the initiative to lie down for support.
This made Zheng Fan jealous, thinking that he would capture a psychic beast as a mount in the future.
In fact, if things develop according to the previous plan, after becoming the city guard of Shengle City, I will definitely search for resources in the nearby Tianduan Mountains, and monsters are inherently rare and precious. The "hard currency" is not only very popular among Eastern aristocrats, but is also expensive when sold to the West.
But the plan could never keep up with the changes. First, after returning from the battle to the south, Xu Wenzu did not replenish his troops and horses, and then it was consumed by two days of defending the city;
It is conceivable that when the cavalry is about to charge into the formation, several layers of the belongings under his hands will have to be cut off.
This damn thing is such a waste of money.
But Zheng Fan couldn't show any dissatisfaction on his face. Instead, he had to pretend to be very calm.
Tian Wujing, who had closed his eyes to rest, slowly opened his eyes, looked at Zheng Fan, and said:
“Don’t be so petty.”
Zheng Fan smiled like Fan Li.
“As long as you can break into the imperial palace in the capital of Jin State, the wealth inside will be enough for you to make up for this shortfall.”
Zheng Fan did not expect it. Marquis Jingnan would actually say this to himself Words and wealth must be the most important thing for a warlord. Although there are many treasures looted from Chuzhou City hidden in Prince Fu's tomb, he has not been able to arrange people because he has not settled down here. Go and transfer secretly.
Ten thousand steps back,
How can the wealth in the Jin Palace be compared to that of Chuzhou City?
Even though the Yu family has been claiming to the outside world that their lives are difficult, there were even rumors that after the Helian family was destroyed, the Jin emperor spent all his money to recruit defeated soldiers.
But a emaciated camel is bigger than a horse. The majestic Jin Dynasty Imperial Palace has not been looted for hundreds of years. The sediment inside is absolutely amazing.
Although it takes time to realize wealth, and it also takes time to recruit troops, facts have proven time and time again that if you are poor, then your time is basically worthless.
“After that battle, many defeated soldiers hid in the countryside. At the same time, the local powerful families could also use their wealth to win over them. Don’t you like to use barbarians? The barbarian settlements in the Tianduan Mountains can also be used. The wealth goes to them to buy the service of the warriors in the clan."
"Thank you...Thank you, Mr. Hou, for your advice."
"You can do these things without my guidance. You have 20% of the more than 5,000 soldiers and horses under my command. If the property is divided, you can take 20%."
"Master Hou. Thank you for your kindness, the last general..."
"Okay, I don't like it. I’m happy to listen to your nonsense.”
Jingnan Hou raised his head, glanced at the night sky again, and stood up. Pixiu behind him also stood up slowly. It was like a silent horn, like a wave effect. Generally speaking, the knights who were resting all around stood up one after another.
No shouting, no noise, no slogans,
When everyone got on their horses,
Jingnan Hou waved his arm,
in an instant,
the horse's hooves were like thunder!
Actually, Marquis Jingnan does not have rich war experience. Throughout the ages, some generals need to learn lessons from war after war or even failure after failure before they can grow into generals, but some people seem to It’s truly a God-given gift.
The Jingnan Army had not fought any serious battles in the more than ten years they had been in Yinlang County, but the Marquis of Jingnan's first battle in his life was to use the road to open Jin and win it for Dayan in one fell swoop. Half of the country's territory.
However, as the army galloped, one after another guerrilla generals came to Jingnanhou to receive orders, and then led their men to leave the formation and go in other directions.
This made Zheng Fan understand that the Marquis of Jingnan seemed to be very familiar with the land of Jin's capital.
One by one the troops were divided, ranging from two hundred to thousands. When they arrived at the outskirts of the capital, there were only three hundred horses left beside Zheng Fan and Jingnanhou.
Every troop has its own target to attack, and even the Marquis of Jingnan gave instructions on where to enter the capital and the subsequent arrangements.
This is a completely different combat style from that of the Zhenbei Army. When Li Fusheng went into battle, he rushed to the front. The other departments also cooperated to kill the enemy based on their tacit understanding in the past. However, Jingnanhou here combined the tasks and Details are distributed to the extreme.
It seems that the land of Gyeonggi under the night, for Jingnan Hou, is nothing more than a chessboard placed in front of him, where he can make all the moves and finally slay the dragon silently.
According to Zheng Fan's aesthetics, this is the real art of war. It's not like the Zhenbei Army, which bullies you with its "strong soldiers and horses".
Of course, if the troops are strong and the horses are strong, coupled with the command and deployment of Jingnan Marquis, it is no wonder that the two major clans can be directly destroyed in the first battle of Jin.
To the end,
Marquis Jingnan looked at Zheng Fan and
ordered:
"Zheng Chengshou, after your unit has been wandering around here for an hour, go straight to the Jin Palace!"
< br>It was clear that he wanted to hand over these three hundred knights, including the two flag-bearing knights who had accompanied him all the way from Litian City.
Zheng Fan felt a little panicked,
If I had known this, why didn't I take Liang Cheng with me?
This feeling is like a novice driver who just got his license from the driving school and has to drive on the road as soon as he leaves the driving school.
So much so that Zheng Fan only belatedly remembered to ask Jingnan Hou:
"Master Hou, what about you?"
Tian Wujing sat on Pixiu, He reached out and grabbed the golden soft velvet on Pixiu's neck,
Said:
"I am now a man of the world." (End of Chapter)
