Chapter 521 Father's love is like a mountain
The rising smoke belonging to the Yan army indicates that the Yangshan stronghold has been broken.
The Yan Army's Tanma Sentinel Cavalry quickly informed all the ministries of the news. Since Yangshan has been broken, those who should disengage should disengage, and those who should withdraw their troops should withdraw.
The main force retreated, but the small groups of troops originally used as peripheral warning during the war were not withdrawn. Instead, they were all released according to the pre-war arrangements to replenish Zhennanguan and beyond. Nan's already dominant sentry force.
The first is to remove the role of the Yangshan stronghold and cut off the operational connections between the Chu people's military forts and strongholds. The second is to completely bring the area before Zhennanguan into the control of the Yan people's war rhythm. , so that the military forts and villages that the Chu people worked so hard to build here became isolated islands.
If you raise a large army and come out, the Yan army will immediately move upon hearing the wind and fight you. If you come out with a small force, you may be able to come out, but you will not be able to go back.
The root cause of this phenomenon is actually not just the loss of a Yangshan stronghold, but the original pattern of Yan's attack on Chu's defenders; since the Chu people are the defenders, it is inevitable or Actively or passively lose control of the situation.
Of course, there will definitely be a song in the battle report;
Hiraye Bo led the Xuehai cavalry to defeat Yangshan stronghold in one fell swoop, completely setting the tone for the battle against Chu and setting the stage for the subsequent defeat of the Chu people. The defensive iron formation laid a solid foundation and accelerated the process of using troops against Chu;
In fact, it was quite targeted.
In the next two days, apart from the fact that the sentries and cavalry were more active than before, all the soldiers and horses were actually returning to the stronghold and making preparations.
King Jingnan did not hold another military meeting because of this battle, because the arrangements for this battle had already been decided at the last military meeting, and there was no need to deliberate at this time. Calling everyone together just to celebrate Hirano Bo.
After all, this war has just begun.
Yes,
it has indeed just begun.
Uncle Zheng, who returned to the camp, took a comfortable hot bath first.
The bathtub is placed behind the tent. There is a door between the two tents. The front is the office area and the back is the living area.
This is the advantage of the battlefield being close to his hometown. In the past, Uncle Zheng never received such treatment when he went out to fight.
I took a shower and had a good sleep.
After really replenishing his energy, when he came out of the commander's tent again, what he saw was a lively scene.
After storming Yangshan Stronghold, the various troops were divided into several front armies and began to attack the city. Naturally, it was impossible for all the troops to attack the city. There had to be a few mobile groups left, but those were Tian Wujing. arrangement.
What Uncle Zheng needs to conquer is the Dongshan Fort of the Chu people.
A quite large fort.
A few days ago, in order to weave this bag, all the Chu troops were stationed in it. However, in order to rush for reinforcements, these soldiers and horses were pulled out again, and they collided with Gongwang's troops several times, causing damage to each other.
But after Gong Wang received the news that Yangshan stronghold had been breached, he did not stop it. Instead, he gathered his troops and horses to block the possibility of the Chu army retreating to Dongshan Fort.
After all, he is a veteran on the battlefield and can be appreciated by Situ Lei. After the change of the world, he can still stand alone under the rule of the Yan people. There is no doubt about his own ability.
And in terms of behavior, he is also very popular with Uncle Zheng.
You can go anywhere with that royal forbidden army, but you can never go back to Dongshan Fort, because in the next war, they are the ones who will attack Dongshan Fort.
Actually, this move is very destructive, because unless you eat this Chu army, otherwise, this Chu royal forbidden army will go to other military fortresses even if it cannot go to Dongshan Fort. In the end, , the Yan army assigned to attack that military fort will encounter great resistance.
However, this spirit of sacrificing everyone for a small family,
He won the uncle's heart deeply.
And now, in such a lively scene, the assembled trebuchets, battering rams, arrow towers, siege crossbows and other ordnance are beginning to be transported forward;
It can be seen Uncle Zheng,
your eyes are a little wet.
The Snow Navy, which has always been famous among the Yan army for its manufacturing of siege equipment, finally has the opportunity to use siege equipment to attack the city in a down-to-earth manner.
After waiting for a long time and looking forward to it, this day finally arrived.
As for the previous siege in the snowfield, can it be called a siege?
There is one thing that makes Uncle Zheng still strange. Logically speaking, San'er should be back.
Although there are people from Tianji Pavilion in our army who can replace Xue San, the voice of attacking Chu has been publicized for so long, and it is impossible for San'er to not know about it in Liang State.
However, before Uncle Zheng could spend more time "missing" San'er, who was nowhere to be found, the blind man came over and reported:
"My lord, Gong Wang and Gongsun Zhi are here."
It is not surprising that these two people came to him, because the Eastern Front Army only has these three troops, and Tian Wujing has already pointed out that he is the reason for this. The front army's words matter, and it is natural for them to come to pay homage to the dock.
"Tell He Chunlai to make some delicious treats." After Uncle Zheng finished speaking, he smiled bitterly and said: "I have always been thinking about a good relationship. Hello, I am okay, everyone. , everyone is harmonious together, but Lao Tian always likes to put me on the fire, tsk, uncomfortable.”
During the last military meeting, Tian Wujing gave himself a hard time. A wave of peer hatred. It happened that I had bowed to everyone outside the king's tent earlier. In comparison, it was not too clear that he was arrogant at the front and respectful at the back.
The blind man smiled and said; "Perhaps, in the eyes of King Jingnan, Your Majesty, you don't need to take the road of building relationships, just like King Jingnan and King Zhenbei, they need to go and make peace with each other. Who is involved?
If one's own strength is strong enough and the status is high enough, below, it's all about relationships. "
"That's true, but I'm still not used to it. Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is more in line with my taste, haha. "
"Haha. "
"Okay, go and bring them in. I'll wait for them in the handsome tent. ”
Uncle Zheng turned around and went back,
The blind man found a personal guard and asked him to find He Chunlai to cook.
He wandered to a tent while peeling oranges. At this time, A Ming was leaning against the tent and drinking. liquor.
“You said, why is our Lord’s luck so good?”
A Ming was a little surprised and said: “This is also called good luck? Didn’t you know that day, Lord? Riding a horse, the trebuchet hit him with stones."
"Didn't he get killed after all?"
"Ha."
"What I mean is that the Lord may really have a kind of personality charm. You said that it is normal for a woman to have several godfathers. What you and I want to do is just for money. Or picture power, another picture her body
But. Our master is a man, and it is very difficult for a man to find a godfather who is sincere to you."
"There is news from my hometown that Shatuo Queshi is awake?"
The blind man shook his head. , said: "Not that godfather."
A Ming understood and said: "This is my godbrother."
The blind man ate the orange and smiled,
said:
"It doesn't mean the same thing."
Soon,
The blind man said again: "You gave King Jingnan for nothing and you have been dwarfed by King Zuoguli for a lifetime. If King Jingnan finds out, you will really become a dead bat."
" I said, what kind of emotion are you here to express?”
“The emotion is, before. Unexpectedly, now I think about it, the two neighbors just next door, Gongwang and Gongsunzhi, both came to pay homage to our Lord.
I didn’t bother to think about it earlier, but I just thought about it. Found four words. "
A Ming raised his head and drank.
Silence,
Silence;
The blind man couldn't help but cough slightly.
A Ming put down his glass of wine, looked at the blind man with curiosity, and said eagerly:
"Quickly, what four words are they?"
The blind man smiled and said:
“Father’s love is like a mountain.”
…………
Gong Wang and Gongsun Zhi walked into Uncle Zheng together My handsome tent,
Uncle Zheng was sitting there and just stood up.
The two generals immediately knelt down and said:
"I will congratulate Uncle Zheng on his victory!"
"I will be the general. Congratulations on your victory!"
The two generals are actually the same rank as Uncle Zheng. Although Uncle Zheng carries the title of Prince Consort and the status of General of Chengguo, he is not a military commander. Wu Zhong actually doesn't value this very much.
Moreover, soldiers, especially generals, are often tied to the morale and morale of their troops, so they are generally very straight-tempered and unwilling to bend the knee easily.
The fact that they are kneeling so simply now is because they had already thought about how to deal with the relationship between the three of them when they came here. This is to directly put the posture below. In name, it is Uncle Zheng. They were in charge of the two departments' coordinated operations. Uncle Zheng was only half a height taller than them, but in fact, they had completely placed Uncle Zheng at the top of their game.
Seeing this, Uncle Zheng did not rush forward to help them, but sat back again and said with a smile:
"Two generals, please rise."
"Uncle Xie!"
"Uncle Xie!"
Gong Wang and Gongsun Zhi stood up.
Uncle Zheng looked at them and said: "We are in the military. We in the military actually don't like the way the civil servants behave. You kneel down and I rush to help you. You have to kneel down, and I have to support you. In the end, I have to kneel down with you for no reason. , the three of them kowtowed to each other.
This is too troublesome, so I will just skip this step.
I am an honest person, both in speech and in speech. I don’t like to mince words when doing things
Let's do this,
The two generals will follow me. From now on, we will get meritorious services together, be awarded officials together, and be promoted together. From now on, we will all be brothers. "
"Thank you uncle for your support! ”
Gong Wang knelt down on one knee again and saluted.
After all, he was born in Jin Dynasty. Although he was smart and measured in doing things, he was inevitably free and easy.
On the other hand, Gongsun Zhi laughed out loud when he heard this. He sat down directly on the right side of Uncle Zheng and said:
"Hahaha, uncle, then I'm not polite. In the early years, uncle gave me the gift of my father-in-law." When bringing wine, my father-in-law must act like something and won’t let me take a few sips easily. In fact, I , I have been thinking about my uncle’s wine for a long time.
That day at the military meeting, the prince assigned me to his uncle to take orders. I was so happy that the wine bug came out, hahaha. "
"Hahaha."
Uncle Zheng pointed at Gongsun Zhi with a smile.
This guy actually doesn't look that big and rough, but his words and deeds actually bear the shadow of Li Bao. Furthermore, the biggest difference between him and Gong Wang is that he is from Yan.
“That wine is not something that Brother Li is stingy and reluctant to give you to drink, but it is used to treat the wounds of the wounded to prevent ulcers. It can save lives.
In this way, I have prepared two large carts here. When you leave later, each person will bring one cart back. Your Majesty governs the army very strictly and alcohol is not allowed in the army. So today, when I heard that you two are coming, I did not prepare any wine. Just use tea instead of wine at home.
Also, after you bring the wine back, you have to take care of the gluttons in the barracks;
Well, I will give it to each of you. Two military medical teams have gone over. I am not exaggerating, but I am the best in the entire army. Let them give your military doctors some training.
In addition, take some cattle and sheep away so that your brothers in the camp can beat them as sacrifices. ”
This is a direct benefit.
People regard you as the big brother,
As the big brother, you have to show some expression, otherwise people are born with cheap bones. Do you like to kowtow to you?
Of course, these can only be regarded as small favors. In the future, leading them to win battles and achieve military success is the right path.
The reason why King Jingnan was able to win the support of all military leaders even though he destroyed his whole family, was here.
"Uncle Xie!"
"Uncle Xie!"
Gong Wang also stood up and took his seat.
In fact, Uncle Zheng values him more.
Gongsun Zhi felt that he was familiar with Uncle Zheng, so it was easier to get into the mood because he was from Yan.
But here, Uncle Zheng, Gongwang, who is from Jin, can develop better because he is from Jin.
It’s not that Uncle Zheng dreams of rebellion,
but if that day comes,
you say,
Is it easier to encourage Gong Wang to fight with you or to encourage Gongsun Zhi to fight with you?
"Brother Gong."
"Uncle."
"Let's also talk some bright words. Maybe, in others, there are differences between Yan and Jin, but in This has never happened here in Benbo. People from Yan and Jin are from this place. Here, everyone is treated equally."
"Haha, uncle, don't talk about this. Just because my uncle treated the Jin soldiers so well, many of my soldiers started talking about wanting to go to the uncle. Where are you going to get paid?”
Uncle Zheng also smiled and said:
"Don't worry, there will be a day."
As soon as these words were said, Gong Wang and Gongsun Zhi's eyes flashed.
When they came, they all knelt down in unison, which actually made their posture clear.
But who would have thought that Mr. Hirano not only accepted it readily, but also led them to start jumping around like crazy.
They thought they were fast-paced, but they never thought that Hirano Hirano was the real speed.
Listen,
Don’t worry, there will be a day.
It means that sooner or later, their subordinates will share the same salary as his subordinates.
Logically speaking, as a general of an army, he would often be disgusted or even repelled by such a loss of independence.
However,
it can only be said that King Jingnan may have laid hidden clues when he first assigned troops and horses to be stationed.
Gong Wang is from the Jin Dynasty, and he has no chance of promotion. At most, he is in the title of nobility. He can have some thoughts, but he wants the court to let a person from the Jin Dynasty guard the country as a feudal official. , even Gong Wang himself found it very unrealistic.
But under his command, not only his own son, but also many of Paoze's nephews were with him. It can be said that at that time, half of the future of the generals of the Situ family was on him. , he had to think about a way out for them as well as for himself.
The simplest way out is to rebel and restore Jin...
But even Uncle Zheng doesn't dare to think about rebellion now, let alone him.
As for Gongsun Zhi, as Li Bao's son-in-law, he separated from Li Bao's son after Li Bao's death. Of course, there was a driving force behind this matter that the imperial court deliberately split up Li Bao's tribe. But if he himself is very loyal and unwilling, then it is impossible to really divide it.
So, his position was very embarrassing. Generals from the Zhenbei Army, such as Li Fusheng, did not want to see him at all, and the other generals did not regard him as one of their own.
It is comfortable to be separated and to be alone, but he cannot enter other circles.
So, both of them now need to hug each other.
Uncle Zheng's new talent not only shines brightly, but also has no external subordinates except his own troops. Naturally, he is the best choice at the moment and the one with the brightest potential for future development.
A party,
everyone had a great time.
Officially speaking, the three major military leaders of the Eastern Front Army of Yan's attack on Chu have reached a consensus to work closely together for Dayan and continue to fight for His Majesty's great achievements;
Personally speaking, it is a mountainous faction in the military with Uncle Zheng as the core. Today, it was officially established.
Even Mr. Zheng himself,
during the exchange of drinking tea with wine,
could not help but feel a little dazed,
Things were progressing so well,
It seems too natural, too natural, too smooth.
.........
It has been raining heavily for many days in the upper reaches of Wangjiang River.
In addition, it is the high water season in Wangjiang River, and for a while, the dams everywhere are quite turbulent.
Transporting grain and various baggage to the front line has already taken up a lot of manpower near Yingdu. Now, we still have to squeeze out manpower and material resources to manage the river.
Sun Youdao, the Grand Tutor of the Cheng Kingdom, who had just come back not long ago, was so busy that he felt haggard.
Fortunately, because Uncle Zheng introduced troops into the city last time, the officialdom of Yingdu was purged. Therefore, although the task was difficult, there were not many constraints when doing things.
“Here, here, here, and here, hurry up, hurry up!”
The corners of the fifth prince Ji Chengmin’s mouth have blistered, which is enough to show that these days he has been level of anxiety.
I originally thought that this visit to Yingdu was just a formality, but I didn’t expect that there was a war ahead and the river construction work had to continue here.
Manpower and material resources are obviously insufficient. Now, all the servants of all the big families in Yingdu City are mobilized and busy on the river embankment.
The fifth prince just took a breath and drank some water when he saw a dwarf standing on the river embankment over there.
There is a horse beside the dwarf, and there is a woman sitting on the horse. The woman has a big face and even bigger hips. She is sitting on the horse, and the horse's butt actually looks a bit delicate.
Xue San stabbed the level of the river embankment with a dagger,
swearing:
“Fuck me, the materials for building the river embankment are from Bingxi. The goods are coming from Xishang, right?”
"May I ask Mr. Xue, which sect does Xixi belong to?"
"Well, you don't need to know this."
Xue San turned around and faced the river on the other side. , put his fingers to his mouth and gnawed on his nails while muttering to himself;
“Hiss, it doesn’t look like we are repairing the river.” (End of Chapter)
