Chapter 405 She is here
“Pa!”
Zheng Fan threw the military order from Jingnan Marquis on the table.
This move is not to express any dissatisfaction. After all, no matter how much Uncle Zheng flutters, he will not have any opinions about Lao Tian.
Even the Demon King himself admitted that as long as Lao Tian is around and as long as Lao Tian has no intention of rebelling, he can only continue to be Great Yan Zhongliang.
"There are two copies of the military order. One is the military situation description written in the Chinese military document, and the other is the military order written by the Marquis himself."
Zheng Fan stretched out his hand and knocked on the table,
< br>He said to the demon kings sitting below:
"The military order is also very simple, just two words - sit."
The blind man heard the words and nodded. Obviously, This military order was what he expected.
Si Niang also breathed a sigh of relief, and the speed of knitting sweaters in her hands became much faster. There are so many people inside and outside Xueguan, and the original money and food reserves can only survive this winter smoothly. If there is another war at this time, then This winter will be difficult.
After all, not every battle can be profitable. Many times, some battles are really pure consumption, and it is difficult to find a place to replenish.
The Savage King sat in an inconspicuous position at the bottom, still wearing shackles and no seat, just sitting on the floor tiles.
“Everyone is sitting here anyway, let’s talk about our opinions.”
Zheng Fan silently took out a cigarette, didn’t light it, just put it on his fingertips to play with.
The blind man stood up and said:
"My lord, the beacon fires that have emerged on the lines of Zhennanguan and Nanwangcheng this time should not be a precursor to the Three Kingdoms War. The Ganren people are using their newly built precious cavalry troops to conduct a sneak attack. , and on our side, although Zhennanguan is the territory of the Chu people, it is only the original Situ family's general Xue Rang who acted as a front. A descendant of the Situ family proclaimed himself emperor, and the Chu people just stood behind.
On the Chu and Qian fronts, it was probably just a pretense to create a tense situation, with no real intention. Gunland and the Yan Kingdom officially started fighting."
At this time,
the Savage King saw that the blind man had finished speaking,
He immediately added:
"Uncle, Mr. Bei is right. I know the temperament of the Chu people best. To put it nicely, it is because they think they are the inheritance of the nobility. To put it badly, , he just doesn’t have the courage to risk his life with others, especially the regent of Chu. His style is to manipulate everything in the palm of his hand. Unlike our Majesty Dayan, he doesn’t like it. He likes to gamble, he likes to be safe.
The purpose of Chu people's introduction of a card this time is just to stir up the water in this pool, let us move, and tire out our army."
The Savage King needs to seize the short time to express himself as much as possible, because he does not have much time. Every time he shows his value, there is a high probability that he will get a slight improvement in living conditions.
Now, he is trying to move to a cell on the ground as soon as possible.
Because since the Hirano Mansion was built and he moved into the underground prison of Hirano Mansion, he always had nightmares at night and felt chills all over his body from time to time. In short, that place revealed an evil nature, because the Savage King often He calls himself a cockroach and can live anywhere, but he really doesn't want to stay in this prison anymore. He is really afraid that he will die suddenly if he continues to live there.
Hearing this, Zheng Fan nodded and said:
“So this time, it’s time to stop the tiredness of the two countries, haha.”
With Zheng Fan’s current situation Status actually means being able to overlook the overall situation from a slightly higher position.
During the previous expedition against the barbarians, the Eastern Expedition army suffered its first defeat. The eldest prince did have to bear part of the blame, but the fundamental reason was still the exhaustion caused by the Yan Kingdom's consecutive campaigns.
In the early wars, what kind of army did Yan use?
That was the Zhenbei Army and the Jingnan Army. The local army and the Forbidden Army were only responsible for playing side drums. Xu Pangpang gathered various military leaders in Nanwang City to try his best to suppress the temptation of the border troops in the three towns of Qianguo. This was already the greatest contribution made by the local army in the first Three Kingdoms War.
When the Eastern Expedition Army went out for the first time, they chose to form the Left Army. In fact, it was because the territory was too large and troops were needed to garrison everywhere. At the same time, the elites of the two Dayan Army suffered a lot of losses, resulting in no choice. There is no need to use local armies and imperial troops to maintain and support the pace of imperial conquests.
Looking at the corpses of the Left Route Army in the river, the fundamental reason is that the quality of the Left Route Army is too far behind that of the Zhenbei Jingnan Army.
Subsequently, the Marquis of Jingnan took command and went on an expedition, the so-called "replacement of flowers and trees",
It seems clever and profound,
but in essence it is nothing more than "Tian Ji horse racing".
That is to say, the local army, the forbidden army, and the soldiers and horses of Chengguo. These "inferior horses" disguised themselves as the Jingnan Army and the Zhenbei Army and marched to the foot of Yupan City, and then used the changed Zhenbei Army and the Jingnan Army As the main force, he defeated the main force led by the Savage King in one fell swoop.
The problem actually still exists. The recruitment and growth of soldiers are far unable to keep up with the consumption caused by successive wars. Jingnanhou’s approach is to put it bluntly, he completely hides his shortcomings.
After defeating the main force of the barbarians, the powerful Jingnan Marquis and His Majesty the Emperor of Yan did not carry out the Northern Expedition to the Snowy Fields. This means that they themselves also knew that the exhaustion of the Yan Kingdom was already over. It has reached a point where it’s not that I don’t want to fight, but that I can’t fight anymore.
The clearest example is that in the past, if he led the 3,000 Zhenbei Army or the Jingnan Army, even if he faced tens of thousands of enemy cavalry, Uncle Zheng would still dare to talk and laugh. It's not a big problem to break out.
But now, Uncle Zheng is asked to randomly select three thousand snow customs cavalry. Even if it is his own cavalry, Uncle Zheng does not have the confidence to go wild.
Elite soldiers and good generals are too precious a treasure. They cannot be produced quickly in batches just by killing people.
In addition, the land of Jin was beaten to pieces and has not yet recovered, and the state of Yan has also fallen into a state of almost losing its treasury and people. This is another level of influence on the military level, although it is not On one level, but the impacts are mutual.
Uncle Zheng sighed helplessly and said, "Isn't this the trick Lao Maozi used when he stationed troops in the north to deal with us?"
Just because I am taller than you and can afford to use up energy, I deliberately use it up against you.
The blind man said: "But this method has low cost and big benefits. It is really easy to use. This is how we dealt with the bully back then."
Soon,
Zheng Fan and the blind man looked at each other and smiled, and the other demon kings also nodded.
Only the Savage King sitting on the ground looked confused,
What kind of idiot, what kind of bully?
What kind of sneak attack is this?
After discovering that he could not keep up with the rhythm, the Savage King suddenly fell into a deep sense of crisis.
Zheng Fanze continued: "So, this military order from Jingnan Marquis can be regarded as seeing through the Chu people's plan."
If there is a fuss over there, then let him make a fuss. Go ahead.
Yan's current advantage lies in its absolute confidence in field operations. Whether it is Xue Rang or the Chu army, as long as they dare to venture far out of Zhennanguan, the Yan army will be confident enough to defeat them.
After all, Marquis Jingnan himself is now in charge of Fengxin City.
"A Cheng."
"My subordinates are here."
"I think the Chu people will most likely not send out a large army, but they will probably send out a small group of troops. Go out to harass. After you go down, you can make arrangements for Jin Shuke and let him lead two or three thousand cavalry to expand out. Our main force can stay still, but we still need to do the necessary defense. "
"Yes, I know."
"Six Niang."
"My subordinate is here."
"You know that life is tight now, our money and food are in supply and demand, You will be able to survive the winter safely, but you will have to think of a way to see if you can raise the funds. If some of the remaining food is released, there is a high probability that we will not start a war, but we have to be prepared. "
The Yan army tradition, especially the Yan army currently stationed in Jin, has to prepare a large part of it when it is ordered to go on an expedition. Food and grass cannot wait to be transported and supplied later.
The journey from Yanjing is too long, and the distant water cannot quench the thirst of the people nearby. Moreover, the beacon fire on the front line of Nanwang City can be said to be directed at Yanjing. The most important thing for the imperial court to guard against is the situation there.
As for Yingdu, the money and food that had been raised for the second half of the year's military supplies had already been somewhat "scratched". After all, the Jin region had long been in a mess due to the ravages of war.
All in all, if there is going to be a war next, Dayan's various troops in Jin must be prepared to take care of themselves.
"San'er."
"My subordinate is here."
"On the premise of not affecting the autumn harvest work, make more parts for siege equipment."
"Yes, my lord."
It is impossible to carry siege equipment with the army, but some If the key parts are prepared in advance, they can be quickly produced after the wood is harvested locally.
After assigning tasks one by one,
Zheng Fan waved his hand,
Said:
"It's all gone."
But at this moment, a soldier came from outside and bowed to report:
"Uncle, I just received a letter from the Sentinel, saying that the Princess of Zhenbei Palace The convoy is approaching our snow customs. There is a cavalry retinue of 800 people. The princess’s convoy is about 200 people.”
The cavalry retinue should be sent by a nearby general, but the princess actually leads it herself. Only two hundred people came over.
When the Savage King heard the news, this time, there was nothing unusual at all.
Sixiang glanced at Zheng Fan with a smile,
Obviously,
Sixiang had long been looking forward to training His Highness the Princess, which would make her There is a full sense of accomplishment.
Zheng Fan touched his forehead and said helplessly: "I thought that after the incident at Zhennanguan Pass, the princess would stay in Yingdu, but unexpectedly she did. Continue eastward and come to us.”
The blind man said: "And it seems that after learning about the situation at Zhennang Pass, he speeded up and rushed here."
A Mingze said: "Ali and the sword maid haven't come back yet. In this case, they are probably in the princess's team."
Zheng Fan. Looking at Liang Cheng, he said: "Send eight hundred cavalry to respond."
"Yes, my lord."
The limelight is very tight outside now, although Zheng Fan is very interested in this princess. I don't feel cold at all, but I don't want her to get into trouble near her territory, otherwise it would be too unfair to press the shit basin.
Siniang asked:
"Your Majesty, if the princess comes, how should we entertain her?"
"Six Niang, just take care of it yourself. There is no need to be too grand. The welcome ceremony is also skipped. By the way, the princess’s residence is arranged to be in the south of the city.”
The Hirano Mansion is in the north of the city.
"The slave family knows, my lord."
The meeting was over,
The Savage King was escorted to prison again.
However,
this time,
After the blind man left the small meeting hall, he followed the escorting soldier all the way to the entrance of the dungeon.
The Savage King was a little moved and said:
"Mr. Lao Bei saw me off, how can I be so embarrassed?"
"It's okay, let's go in and have a chat."
The Savage King After being escorted in and thrown into the iron fence, at the blind man's signal, all the soldiers in charge of guarding the surroundings went out to avoid the situation. Only the blind man and the Savage King were left in the dungeon.
This is actually a common mode of getting along between the two.
"What's the matter with Mr. Bei?"
"I've been thinking about something since I learned that the princess is coming here to watch the snow."
"Mr. Bei, can you talk to me?" Talk about it.”
“I I'm thinking, apart from my family master, what else can attract the princess to our Xueguan?
And, even if it is my family master, to be honest, it is not something that the princess can win over if she wants to. ”
"So?"
"So, I was wondering if there is a possibility that the purpose, or the main purpose, of the princess coming to Xueguan is not my family."
“If it’s not our uncle, who else could it be?”
“What do you think?”
“It’s impossible, is it for me?”
The Savage King pointed at himself and laughed at himself.
"Yes, why can't it be you?"
"..." Savage King.
The blind man reached out and took out an orange that had shriveled and lost a lot of moisture from his pocket. While peeling it, he said:
"Let's put it this way, a man used to have a crush on a woman, and he had a crush on a woman. Life or death, it's just that his previous status was too humble, and that woman's status was extremely noble, so there was no possibility for the two of them
But if that man suddenly succeeds and makes a career, what does he want to do most? "
Put a piece of orange meat into your mouth, chewing it while continuing:
"You should have contacted the princess before and told her that in the distant snowfield , there is a man who has secretly admired you for so many years, and now, he has conquered most of the country and become the king of the snowfield.
This is an obsession that is deeply rooted in people's hearts, and few people can control it. Moreover, most of the time, there is no need to control the emotion of returning home in rich clothes. "
"You are joking, Mr. Bei, how is this possible? ”
"No, before you led your troops to break through Xue Customs, the Dayan Secret Intelligence Department had already discovered your experience of serving in the auxiliary barracks in Beihou Mansion, Beifeng County Town.
So , even if you held back and didn’t send someone to deliver the letter or take the initiative to contact the princess, the princess should be the slave who remembered the whip he received.”
“But, but, but. Is there a Savage King who has been escorted to Yanjing?"
"I don't know, but I think I must be right.
Gou Mo. Li, you are a talent. Your talent is not limited to the snowfield. In fact, no matter where you go, there are many people who are willing to use you, but they have to guard against your backlash.
< br>
And that woman,
she is very confident, she is also very willful,
she may not worry about your backlash.
Even,
if she knew that you were a man who was so obsessed with her, and even still obsessed with her now, she would be very interested in taking you into her arms.
There is a word called psychological profiling, which you may not have heard of. Well, let’s put it this way, my specialty is actually figuring out people’s hearts.
I think this is in line with the character of the princess. "
"Mr. Bei, since you are so sure, what if the real princess really wants me by name? After all, hiding me secretly is a grave sin. ”
The blind man smiled,
This smile matched his empty eyes,
It seemed very gloomy.
“She doesn’t have the qualifications. This is Xuehaiguan, not the Prince Zhenbei’s Mansion in Beifeng County.”
“But she is the daughter of Prince Zhenbei after all, and Your Majesty will also take care of her. "
The blind man said: "Hey, who is not a baby?"
"Huh?" The Savage King was a little confused.
"She has the King of Zhenbei behind her, and our uncle has the Marquis of Jingnan behind her. Moreover, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one. Here, you can give her face, or you can give her no face at all."
The Savage King was silent.
The blind man continued: "Because you are locked up here, no one may tell you some things. The son of Marquis Jingnan is now being raised in our Uncle Pingye Mansion. My master, he is still a child. Mr. Hou’s godfather.”
“Little Mr. Hou?”
The blind man pointed to the top of his head and said, “It should be right above your head.”
< br>
Next door to the Savage King's prison, there lies the Sha Tuo Que Stone, and directly above the Sha Tuo Que Stone is the baby room of the young Marquis.
Actually, the blind man of the Savage King has also noticed the sluggishness of the Savage King these days, so I have to sigh with emotion about the little Marquis’ horoscope. It is really tough. From childhood to adulthood, he spent most of his time on the "grave "Bang disco", I actually ate well and slept soundly.
"Mr. Bei, you didn't come to tell me this."
"No, I have to say, because I value you, including the Lord, and I actually value you very much. Because we all feel that you are of great value, I will tell you in advance and let you make your own decision."
"What choice?"
"Then you can only think about it yourself."
As he said that, the blind man clapped his hands and stood up, seemingly ready to leave.
The Savage King smiled and said:
"Should we send someone to seal the entrance here?"
Sealing the entrance will prevent people from robbing the prison.
It is enough to leave enough openings for food, drink and ventilation.
The blind man shook his head and said:
"No, they say that the princess has many experts around her, but in fact, we don't mind if the princess sends people to rob the prison."
The blind man said, pretending to inadvertently reach out and touch the wall on the north side of the cell.
Touch and touch,
The smile on the blind man's face
grew brighter,
as if he had thought of something extremely interesting.
In fact, when the blind man's mental power tried to penetrate this wall, he encountered great resistance. This is because the Shatuo Que Stone lying there formed its own aura, which can block the outside world's perception of this place. .
So, the Savage King only felt that living there was uncomfortable, uncomfortable, physically weak and dreamy. This was due to the influence of evil spirits and feng shui, but this was only the lowest level manifestation. In fact, although it was only separated by a wall, It was impossible for him to sense the existence in the next door, and he couldn't even hear a sound.
At this time,
Zheng Fan, who had just finished the discussion, came down with a bottle of wine,
looking at the coffin placed in front of him.
Zheng Fan feels that
Fate is really a circle, and it can always give you a trancelike feeling of standing at the end but returning to the dot inadvertently.
In Zheng Fan's memory,
that man stood at the gate of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, holding a wine jar and shouting:
"I am a barbarian in the desert!"
It seems like just yesterday.
On that day, the former barbarian royal court Zuoguli King Sha Tuoque died in the battle at the gate of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion,
Just to give an explanation to Lord Zhenbeihou who wiped out the entire Shatuo tribe!
After a while,
Zheng Fan put the wine bottle on the coffin lid, stretched out his hand, stroked the coffin lid, and used a tone like whispering to a sleeping person,
>
Slowly said:
“She is here.” (End of this chapter)
