Chapter 290 Your family is gone
When he came to Litian City, Zheng Fan brought one of his men with him, and the man was lost on the way. Who knows where he went;
But when he left Litian City, In Tiancheng, Zheng Fan brought five thousand soldiers and horses.
Because these five thousand Jin troops were selected by the Jingnan Army from the surrendered Jin troops, they were truly sufficient, and even if they wanted to water them down, they would not have time to do so.
Of course, the phenomenon of empty pay among the Yan army is not unheard of. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. No matter how talented and strategist the Yan Emperor is, he can step on the powerful, but it is impossible to eradicate this phenomenon that will exist regardless of ancient and modern times. And there are bound to be stubborn diseases.
But the Zhenbei Army is hard to find. Many barbarians and other tribesmen in the entire northern Yan Kingdom and the desert are proud to wear that black armor;
And Jingnan On the military side, because the scale was relatively small at the beginning, and Tian Wujing was a marquis who couldn't get rid of the dirt in his eyes, this phenomenon was very rare.
The two frontier armies of Yan State have done a good job at this point. If the other soldiers and horses eat a little and drink a little, it will not affect them too much. In the actual battle, they will not be the first. Count on them for a while.
For example, when the war between Yan and Qian began, half of the hundreds of thousands of troops on the three sides were on the military rolls. This made the Qian country naturally fall into passivity as soon as the war started.
As the Jin army marched eastward under the black dragon flag of Yan State, the people of Jin along the way had mixed feelings.
Fortunately, the imperial court of Yan State is already mobilizing troops and horses to the east to resist the savages who may come over;
What is worrying is that it seems that the situation there is really serious.
It has been less than a year since the Yan Kingdom was included in the territory. It would be a lie to say how much the local people support the Yan Kingdom and the Yan Emperor. However, there is one thing that the people of Jin must admit, that is, the Yan people More able to fight.
I thought that my own Sanjin knights were praised to the heavens, but in the end they were defeated by the Yan people with less than half the number.
The Yan people can fight, and they will probably be successful in resisting the savages.
Therefore, the mentality of many people in Jin is extremely complicated at the moment. They hate the black dragon flag, but instinctively feel that this flag can bring them a sense of security.
Every night when camping during the march, Li Yiyong would come to the big tent to report the situation to Zheng Fan. Zheng Fan was very solemn at first, discussing with him, and even talked about the art of war.
After all, General Zheng is also a master who has seen the world, and he has always followed the generals and marquises who can fight to observe them closely. Even a Garfield cat who has been nurtured in this way can give pointers in the military. .
But after a few days, Zheng Fan got bored and just said, "You can make up your own mind, that's all." Li Yiyong thought this was Zheng Fan's test for him, no matter what Whether Zheng Fan saw him or not, he came to the tent on time every night to say hello.
Actually, Li Yiyong really thinks too much. Regarding the military, Zheng Fan has always been the hands-off boss. Liang Cheng is responsible for military training, the blind man is responsible for political and ideological education, and Zheng Fan is only responsible for enjoying the military parade on the school field. The neat lines of soldiers and the loud slogans.
In this way, at an unhurried speed, the army finally returned to Shengle City.
On the top of Shengle City, the blind man and Siniang stood side by side.
"The Lord has been promoted and became a general." The blind man said.
“I don’t understand the military system of Yan State very well.” Siniang said.
"I guess the Yan people don't understand it very well." The blind man replied, "But he should be bigger than the city guard. He can be regarded as the person in charge of a small combat zone."
"Who is responsible?" Siniang asked.
“It’s still Shengle City.”
“What’s the difference?”
“It sounds better.”
“That’s it.”
"Didn't we get another five thousand Jin soldiers?"
"The extra five thousand soldiers and horses eat horse chews and have a headache."
"We are not short of food now, are we?"
“Okay, eat beef and mutton every day, and then you can’t live in the second half of the year? The Yan army just ruled this place Not long ago, the foundation of rule is still very weak, and it is impossible for the Yan State to support much food and materials here and use them locally. With the current scale of Shengle City and the situation in the nearby area, how much can we squeeze out? "
< br>The blind man rubbed his eyebrows and sighed:
"There is nothing we can do. Who told us to overthrow our troops too much?"
In fact, at the beginning, everyone unanimously determined the big plan with Gou as the main spirit and farming as the basic operation. direction.
But the plan cannot keep up with the changes. Due to various chances and coincidences, your military population continues to increase sharply. Relatedly, the relative weakness in other aspects has been more obviously stretched. .
Thanks to the treasures collected several times and the seizures from the last attack on the snowfield, the "wealth" of Shengle City is still very high, but every day and every month there is a loss in red letters, which is far from the green one. Profitability is still far away.
In addition, the Lord has brought back five thousand soldiers and horses this time, it is no wonder that Si Niang feels a headache.
"I guess a war is about to begin. As long as the war starts, all the problems will be solved."
War is the fastest way to make money.
“I hope so, let’s go, let’s go down to greet the Lord.”
…………
After entering the city, Zheng Fan first asked Liang Cheng to take a group of local Shengle people with him. General Zhang went to have a dinner party with the generals under Li Yiyong's command, and took the time to connect with each other.
Zheng Fan himself took A Ming back to the city guard's house first. Oh no,
Zheng Fan came to the door of the house and deliberately took a few steps back.
"The General's Mansion?"
So fast?
Six Niang covered her mouth and said with a smile: "My lord, San'er did it all night. I started working immediately after receiving the news about your promotion, my lord."
"This is the General's Mansion. Will it violate the rules?" Zheng Fan looked at the blind man with some worry.
"The Yan people themselves don't understand their own military system. It's not a big problem, my lord."
"Oh, okay, let's do this first."
After entering the house, everyone gathered together for a small reunion dinner according to custom.
Except Liang Cheng who was going to greet the people in the army, the other demon kings all participated.
On the return trip, Zheng Fan had already sent a letter to Shengle City through a messenger, so both parties had some understanding of what happened to them.
As soon as he sat down, Zheng Fan hugged a baby. This was a boy. He was pink and plump. You could see Tian Wujing's shadow from his eyebrows.
"The little thing, call me godfather, call me godfather."
"My lord, the child is still young." Siniang said.
“I know, I know.”
Immediately, Zheng Fan's eyes wandered around, and he said curiously:
"Blind man, where is the Sword Master?"
Siniang couldn't help but joked: "The Lord must have been a treasure in his previous life. Pokémon player.”
Pokémon player means a collector.
"He is temporarily living in an inn on Front Street."
"Okay, take me to see him after dinner. Tian Wujing gave Long Yuan to me. It's really a coincidence this time. I can get such a master by my side. No, even if it's just in the city , no matter how much you spend, it’s worth it.”
Shang Jingcheng Mingmian. There is the Baili Sword, and there is Wei Zhonghe in Yanjing City. To put it bluntly, although the strong men in this world do not have the ability to move mountains and reclaim seas, if they are determined to use decapitation tactics or something, you If there are no guards of the same level around him, he will really be very passive.
If the Sword Master can live in Shengle City, Zheng Fan will be able to sleep more peacefully in the future.
After a simple meal, Zheng Fan and the blind man took the Long Yuan Sword and prepared to go to the inn. Unexpectedly, as soon as they left the house, they saw Xiao Yibo sending an urgent letter of eight hundred miles.
………
Outside the only separate small courtyard room of the inn, the little sword boy was standing there practicing his sword, and the sword master was sitting on a small bench, holding a pot of tea in his hand and drinking.
Fan Li squatted aside, stupidly watching the little sword boy practice his sword. It was the little sword boy who forced him to do it.
After practicing for two weeks, the sword master signaled the little sword boy to stop. She was born with a sword embryo and had excellent aptitude, so there was no need to try to grow it. When she was ten years old, her body bones had grown a little more, and then she went Practicing specifically is the most appropriate.
What Yuan Zhenxing can understand, it is impossible for the sword master not to understand.
“Phew, I’m exhausted.”
The little sword boy sat on the ground and panted.
"Haha."
The sword master smiled when he saw this. He really liked this apprentice, so he was kind to her.
“Master, do you think that if the savages don’t come, will you still stay here?”
“If the savages don’t come, I will take you to Chengguo. , in this world, Chengguo is the only one left, who can still give him a little sense of belonging.”
"But I am a Ganren."
"When you grow up and finish your studies, you can go wherever you want, including returning to the Kingdom of Gan."
"Me too That’s what they think, but that’s not what they think anymore.”
“Which one?”
“That blind man, he said he doesn’t know if he will have a country in the future.”< br>
The sword master shook his head and said with emotion:
"Who knows, just like I don't know yet whether I will become a country in the future."
The land of the Three Jins is the only one. The only remaining political power established by the Jin people was Chengguo.
The little sword boy looked at Fan Li again and said:
"You idiot, will you accompany me to Chengguo in the future?"
Fan Li smiled innocently, neither nodding nor shaking his head.
At this time, the Sword Master shouted:
“Come in.”
Zheng Fan came in, holding the Long Yuan Sword in his hand, and the blind man followed behind .
The Juggernaut reaches forward,
Suddenly,
Long Yuan in Zheng Fan's hand trembled, unsheathed it on his own initiative, and flew into the hands of the Sword Master.
“Haha.”
The sword master stroked the sword and said with emotion:
"Tian Wujing, he's still on the road."
"Master Sword Master, junior Zheng Fan..."
"Oh, don't say anything. Send me a message tomorrow. Put on your armor and I'll go to the east gate to help you guard the city gate."
"No, Lord Sword Master has misunderstood. I just think that the sword Long Yuan must remain in your hand to avoid being buried. It is not because I want to make this bet with you."
"Am I a loser?"
"Of course not."
"Then it's done."
"But still..."
"Nothing can be done. What's settled is settled. Now, I will guard the east gate for you for three months. If a savage comes within three months, no savage will come in from the east gate before Long Yuan breaks.
If within three months, no savage comes. If the savages don’t come, I will take her to Chengguo, are you willing?”
Zheng Fan nodded and said:
"Yes."
"So easy?"
The Sword Master was a little surprised, because he did not believe that Zheng Fan would be so willing to let himself go.< br>
At the same time, I don’t believe that Zheng Fan doesn’t know the value of this little sword boy.
This little sword boy has extraordinary qualifications and has a complete inheritance from Yuan Zhenxing. Twenty years later, not to mention reaching his own level, but becoming half a sword master, there is still no problem.
Zheng Fan agreed, which was so refreshing.
Zheng Fan sighed and said:
"So that Lord Sword Master knows that just now, this junior received a military information document, which said..."
"What did you say?"
"It is said that the Emperor of Cheng State, Situ Lei, has sent his credentials to Yanjing and requested that the State of Cheng be annexed to the Kingdom of Yan. Sir, you want to return to the State of Cheng. This junior can understand, but if nothing unexpected happens, the State of Cheng will be established soon. It will also become the territory of Yan State.
So, you continue. It makes no difference whether you stay here or go to Chengguo."
At this moment,
Fan Li, who had been squatting there silently, suddenly said:
" Sword Master, your family is in trouble" (End of Chapter)
