The devil is coming

Chapter 160
Any place that is a little bigger will have its own circle, which is also commonly known as a group.
For example, those in the east of the city look down on those in the west, and those in the city look down on those outside the city. Even if they are a little older, even the people of the Qian country generally look at the people of the Yan country with a mentality of looking at barbarians, so naturally they will also look down on them.
Beifeng County is adjacent to the desert. Although it has changed a lot in recent years due to the rise of the Silk Road, Yinlang County is the "little Jiangnan" of Yan State.
First, because it is close to the Qian Kingdom and is a commercial exchange center. Second, it goes back a hundred years. The first generation of Zhenbei Hou carried out forced migration of the population after the three counties of the Ma Taqian Kingdom. This also made Yinlang County not only unavailable because of It declined due to the war a hundred years ago, but has been greatly enriched.
The same thing has also caused the three counties on the three sides of the Qian Kingdom to be severely weakened until now. Firstly, any place where heavy troops are stationed is always so unsuitable for ordinary people to survive. Secondly, because the three sides have always been under the shadow of war. , so in addition to filling in military households, the Qianguo court did not deliberately restore and develop the three sides. This is very similar to Hu Jian in the early years.
The people of Yinlang County have a kind of pride of their own, so when they see the caravans or travelers coming from Beifeng County on weekdays, they feel aloof in their hearts.
Always ask a few questions about how life is going there, what do you like to do during the holidays, can your children study in private schools, etc., all to pave the way for showing off the good life here.
However, this time, when a group of knights in black armor entered outside Yin City, the people of Yinlang County looked at them with no disdain or regional discrimination, but with excitement!
Everyone rushed to tell each other, and the people in Yin City and outside Yin City were boiling.
The scene of "eating a pot of pulp to welcome Master Wang" happened spontaneously without any rehearsal.
The people of Yincheng took out their own grain reserves, took out their winter bacon, rice cakes and other new year's goods, and took the initiative to work in the military camp without hesitation and with great generosity.
The secret glances from the older girls and younger wives, and the energetic cheers from the old and young men caught the Zhenbei Army vanguard who had just entered Yinlang County off guard.
They really didn't expect this kind of treatment.
There are three main reasons for this situation;
First, because the martial arts prevailed in the Yan Kingdom, even though there had been peace for decades, the passion of the ancestors of the Yan people to grab their swords, mount their horses, and fight the barbarians still existed.
Therefore, in the Yan State, the status of civil servants has never been able to suppress military generals, and has even been counter-suppressed. At the same time, there is no such thing as the "good man is not a soldier, and a good iron is not a nail" similar to the Qian State. tradition of.
The second reason is that although the caravans from Beifeng County, the travelers from Beifeng County, and the immigrants from Beifeng County will be discriminated against by the region, the Zhenbei Army has guarded the desert and suppressed the barbarians for nearly a hundred years, making it impossible for the barbarians to go south again. At the same time, this kind of great achievements and great achievements have transformed the Zhenbei Army into a kind of "protector god" or "totem" in the hearts of ordinary people.
The third reason is that anyone who is not stupid knows that there is a war now. Although they have only heard about the beating of gongs and drums but have not seen the real signs, and although Yinlang County also has its own Jingnan Army stationed there, the common people, even if it is a war, The people of Yan State, who are tough at heart, are actually afraid of war.
With the arrival of the Zhenbei Army, Dayan's most capable army has arrived. For them, this is simply the biggest layer of protection. The people are excited and cheering, which is reasonable.
Zheng Fan brought A Ming with him. Usually when there were no special circumstances, Zheng Shoubei always liked to take A Ming with him when he went out. What boss wouldn't like a subordinate who can take bullets for you without hesitation?
And it's not a one-time use. If you go back and recuperate, you can continue to block bullets next time. It's not too comfortable.
At the same time, Zheng Fan also brought thirty cavalry with him. He was asked for directions once at the Yincheng Station and then back home from Nanwang City. Zheng Shoubei felt that his lone ranger style still had to change.
Since you have subordinates, let's take some with you on the road. At the very least, they can help you to be the queen.
"Oh, it's so lively."
Outside the Zhenbei Army's military camp, there was a sea of ​​people, and the people gathered here spontaneously to express their enthusiasm.
Fortunately, Zheng Fan went out wearing armor this time, and the knights under his command also wore armor. In addition, most of the equipment in Cuiliu Fort were imitated from the military style of the Zhenbei Army, so the people watching thought it was from the Zhenbei Army. The captain returned to the camp and consciously got out of the way.
After entering the camp, Zheng Fan looked back at the knights who had followed him. Each of them had egg and rice cakes in their hands, and several of them had silk ribbons hanging on their bodies.
This is the way for the girls of the Yan Kingdom to express their love. It's no wonder that these noble soldiers used to be the sons of wealthy men. Naturally, they are not bad in appearance and magnanimity. It is normal for them to be favored by so many people.
Zheng Fan looked at his empty self, then turned to look at A Ming, and said with a smile:
"Why didn't you receive the silk ribbon?"
A Ming helplessly opened his pocket and took out a large ball.
"..." Zheng Fan.
A Ming continued to ride lazily on his horse, looking like:
I don't mean to be pretentious, but you have to find a balanced attitude.
After verifying the tokens and identities, Zheng Fan and his party were allowed to enter the camp.
Yes, the person who called me this time was not the Marquis of Jingnan, but the Marquis of Zhenbei.
A captain led the way. Zheng Fan's men could not continue to follow. The rules in the military camp were strict.
A Ming handed the box containing King Fu's head to Zheng Fan.
Road:
"Lord, your blessing bag."
Zheng Fan took the lucky bag and went inside.
The military tents, layer by layer and ring by ring, all looked extremely solemn, which also reflected the strict military discipline of the Zhenbei Army.
After leading an army himself, Zheng Fan fully understood a truth, that is, an undisciplined army is very embarrassing. Occasionally, with rewards or the general's encouragement, everyone would rush forward in a swarm, which seemed to have good results. , but it is difficult to last.
It's okay to bully and bully the opponents of Zhan Wu Zhan, but if it's really a battle between elites, it won't be possible.
Zheng Fan walked into the core area of ​​​​the military camp and saw Li Liangshen. Xiao Liuzi had introduced him to him at the Zhenbei Hou Mansion.
Li Liangshen was sitting on a log with his eyes closed. Beside him, a simple and generous long sword that looked a bit like the pre-Qin period was stuck on the ground.
When Zheng Fan came, he didn't even open his eyes.
From Chen Daxia's mouth, Zheng Fan had heard some things about the world, and knew that Li Liangshen, General Li, was one of the four great swordsmen.
However, compared to the other three, this "swordsman" in the military really has the impression of tarnishing the image of the "swordsman" in everyone's minds.
Of course, this is not like the various lists in later generations where you have to spend money to get on the list, and there is no need to ask the navy to refresh the data. The reason why Li Liangshen is ranked as one of the four great swordsmen is really not what he wanted.
The sword master of the Jin Kingdom was a lunatic. Among the four great swordsmen, one was praised by him, and Li Liangshen was beaten by him in a fight.
Continuing to walk inside, Zheng Fan saw a shirtless man sitting there, holding a grilled naan in his hand and biting it one bite at a time.
At the feet of the big man, there was a plate with peeled garlic.
People who don’t like to eat garlic will not eat any of it, but for people who like to eat garlic, no matter what dish is served with it, the taste will be half as bad.
This big man's name is Li Bao, and he is also one of the seven general soldiers. There is also another man named Li Yuanhu, and they are both called Zhenbei Houfu Hubao.
Seeing Zheng Fan coming, he smiled innocently at Zheng Fan.
This scene made Zheng Fan couldn't help but think of his own Fan Li.
Zheng Fan immediately bowed slightly to salute, and then continued to follow the captain who led the way forward.
Outside the tent, two people were sitting.
One is an old acquaintance, Qing Shuang, who they used to catwalk with in the Yanjing Palace.
The other one has a long and narrow face, which is very similar to the portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang that has been handed down. It is not known whether it is authentic, fake, black or restored.
Xiao Liuzi once said that among the seven generals, there was a horse-faced man named Li Fusheng. He was ruthless and liked to exterminate tribes. Whenever the Suppressing Northern Army used troops against the desert barbarians, whenever Li Fusheng led the army, one of them would be destroyed and returned.
In fact, Li Fusheng is not young. It is said that among the seven general soldiers of the Zhenbeihou Mansion, the six with the surname Li, except Qingshuang, are all adopted sons of the Zhenbeihou. This is not true.
Rumors in the world come as they please. In fact, the reason why the six surnames are Li is based on the tradition of Yan.
The Yan people have been ruled by clans for hundreds of years, and the "surname" is no longer just a symbol of inheritance, but a symbol of power.
Before Yan Huangma came to power, when people from the middle and upper classes of Yan State went out to introduce themselves, they would add a place name and a surname in front of them.
This is very similar to the fact that at the same time in the West, when introducing themselves, they start with the son of XXX, the grandson of XXX.
The social atmosphere is like this, and it is inevitable in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion. If you want to hang out with me, you should first use my last name, which means that we will be a family in the future.
The princess originally wanted to accept Zheng Fan as a servant of the Li family. If he became a servant of the Li family, Zheng Fan would have to change his surname to "Li Fan".
The younger generals, including Qing Shuang, treat the Marquis of Zhenbei no differently than their adoptive fathers. However, Li Fusheng is estimated to be only seven or eight years younger than the Marquis of Zhenbei Li Liangting. The relationship between father and adopted son.
"Zheng Fan."
Qingshuang opened her mouth and introduced Li Fusheng beside her.
This introduction is brief enough.
Li Fusheng looked Zheng Fan up and down.
Road:
"Oh."
Extremely cold.
Since entering the heart of the army camp, Zheng Fan's walk has been like watching a male model show.
Fortunately, in the Yanjing Palace, I personally saw Yan Huang leading the Northern and Southern Marquises to perform the show of the strongest boy band of this era.
Now I can still maintain peace of mind.
Qingshuang pointed to the big tent behind her,
Road:
"The Marquis is waiting for you inside."
Zheng Fan nodded, and then smiled at Li Fusheng. Li Fusheng laughed "hehehehe" a few times, pointed at Zheng Fan and said:
"The Marquis said that this son has an eye for the universe, but I didn't see the universe, but I saw that this son is very similar to me. They are both ruthless masters."
"..." Zheng Fan.
Zheng Fan didn't waste any more time, opened the curtain and walked into the big tent.
Just when Zheng Fan was about to greet the Marquis of Zhenbei by saying that he was the former captain of the Zhenbei Army stationed in Hutou City to protect merchants, he was stunned for a moment and found that the Marquis of Jingnan was also in the big tent.
Zheng Shoubei immediately changed his words and said:
"Zheng Fan is guarding Cuiliu Fort. See the Marquis of Jingnan and the Marquis of Zhenbei."
Zheng Shoubei knew very clearly which restaurant to eat at.
Marquis Jingnan sat in the first seat, which was very strange. Among the Zhenbei Army strongholds, it was Tian Wujing and not Li Liangting who sat in the first seat.
This is because Zheng Fan doesn't know that the upcoming battle will be fully commanded by Tian Wujing, and even Li Liangting has to listen to Tian Wujing's orders.
This seems to be a very funny thing, because the Zhenbei Army has 20 soldiers going south, and the Jingnan Army has only [-] soldiers.
But fortunately, Zheng Fan has seen many such "funny" things in Dayan, so he doesn't find it so difficult to understand.
Li Liangting sat below, holding a handful of sugar-roasted chestnuts, eating them one by one.
Zheng Fan knew that Zhenbeihou had lived a poor life since he was a child, so Zheng Fan was not surprised at all that Zhenbeihou was eating every time he saw him.
"Little Zhengzi." Zhenbei Hou said.
If Tian Wujing hadn't been here, Zheng Fan would have wanted to climb up the stick and shout:
"Hey, the slave is here."
Thinking about the familiar history of my previous life, the Marquis of Huaiyin could be humiliated from the crotch, and Qi Jiguang could claim to be his lackey to please Zhang Juzheng in order to please him.
Zheng Shoubei felt that he had no airs that he couldn't let go, and the Marquis of Zhenbei was already quite young, so he just enjoyed teasing his demented old man.
But Tian Wujing is here,
Zheng Fan really felt embarrassed that when he was with his cheating partner, his husband was also present.
Therefore, I can only say respectfully:
"Master Hou, the general is here."
"The terms you and I discussed last time in the Royal Garden are now showing results?"
"If I return to the Marquis, the general will be too foolish to think of Gan Ren."
A small group of troops harassed and put pressure on the gangsters. Let the gangsters come out three times and then find opportunities to eat them. This was originally the purpose of Zheng Fan's advice in the early stage.
But instead of taking the bait, Captain Yang was not transferred. Instead, he began to fortify the walls and clear the country on a large scale. He was determined not to engage in field warfare and not give you a chance.
Zhenbeihou shook his head and said:
"At this time and that time, the land is vast and the people are densely populated, so not all of them will be fools."
This is actually excusing Zheng Fan.
"What Lord Hou said is."
"What I said is useless."
Zhenbeihou has something to say.
Tian Wujing, who was sitting in the front seat, turned his attention to Zheng Fan at this moment.
Zheng Fan immediately felt the pressure on himself increase sharply.
In fact, according to the relationship, I have only met Zhenbei Hou twice, and the second meeting is not included in this time.
No matter how he calculated it, he had a better relationship with Marquis Jingnan.
But Marquis Jingnan's act of destroying his whole family really frightened Zheng Shoubei's young and fragile heart, and he even had nightmares after returning.
Therefore, when facing Jingnan Hou, Zheng Fan really became more and more frightened the more familiar he became.
"Zheng Shoubei." Marquis Jingnan said.
"The end is here!"
"Cuiliu Fort, how many soldiers are there now?"
"If we return to the Marquis, we can send out [-] cavalry, all with full armor, one man and two horses!"
"It would be a pity if Zheng Shoubei doesn't do business."
"Pfft!"
Zheng Shoubei was so frightened that he knelt on the ground.
This was truly frightening, not a performance at all.
In this life, apart from taking the time to cultivate himself to the eighth level of martial arts, Zheng Fan spent most of his time and energy studying acting.
How come you can't hear the hidden meaning behind Jingnan Hou's words?
You can fool Xu Wenzu with some things, but it is difficult to fool Jingnan Hou!
The entire Yinlang County, and even the entire border war situation, probably cannot escape the eyes of this Marquis. The leader of Yinlang County and the entire secret spy department is his woman.
Avoiding battles to preserve strength is a taboo. No superior will allow such a thing to happen. This is rebellion.
In addition, Marquis Jingnan is the master who can destroy his entire family at the slightest hesitation. Even if he appreciates himself, he will just chop him down with a wave of his hand.
This time, Zheng Fan came out with thirty cavalry. Those thirty cavalry are ridiculous in the army...
Oh, there is also A Ming, but without the help of the army, any one of the four general soldiers of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion outside can beat the current A Ming into a pissing cow ball.
"Haha."
Zhenbei Hou smiled happily, as if he was a male best friend who seemed to be trying to persuade a couple to make peace when a couple was quarreling, but was actually fanning the flames:
"Zheng Shoubei is a smart man, but why does he do stupid things? Please note that we, the Yan people, all know that the Jingnan Army is very strict in military management, alas..."
Tian Wujing looked at Zheng Fan calmly.
Zheng Fan understood everything he said, which made the rest of the conversation quiet.
Sometimes, it is not a good thing for subordinates to be too smart.
Zhenbeihou continued to add fuel to the fire,
Road:
"Little Zhengzi, tell me, what should I give you in exchange for your head? I heard that you beheaded many wolf soldiers before, but that little fat guy Xu Wenzu has already given you one thousand and fifty Baimanqiu, this military merit has been fulfilled long ago, now, what will you give in exchange for your head?"
Marquis Zhenbei glanced at Tian Wujing who was sitting on top.
continued:
"I have begged for mercy for you, but your Lord is a selfless master who only respects military discipline and not reason. Tsk, tsk, tsk, he said that he will kill you, and he must kill you. I have a good word for you. Luokung, unless you can trade the head of a godfather for your own life.
But, little Zhengzi, you still..."
Marquis Zhenbei first used what Marquis Jingnan said before to silence Marquis Jingnan, and then hinted that if the first poaching failed, he would do it the second time!
However, Marquis Zhenbei hadn't finished speaking yet.
Zheng Fan immediately pushed the box beside him forward and opened it.
His forehead touches the ground,
Road:
"The head of Xiang Shang, the lucky king of Chuzhou in the Qian Kingdom, is here!"
"..." Zhenbei Hou.
Li Liangting clenched his left hand tightly, and the remaining half of the chestnuts turned into powder. He raised his head and looked at Marquis Jingnan who was sitting in the front seat, and found that Marquis Jingnan still looked calm.
Straight bitch,
This guy already knew that this boy named Zheng had cut off the head of Lord Qian!
A young couple is singing an oboe here.
What's the point of jumping up and down in there?
Marquis Jingnan said very calmly:
"Forget it, I'll give Marquis Zhenbei some face."
"..." Zhenbei Hou.
------
The typos in this chapter will be corrected later.
This month, Long has updated 34 words. To be honest, I haven’t updated so many words in a month for several years.
Because each chapter has a large number of words, I sometimes feel like writing a big chapter, so sometimes the update is not very stable, because it takes a lot of time to code. It was impossible to rush out a chapter in the past, so please give me some advice on this. Please forgive me.
Long wrote this book very happily, so he basically made sure that he would start typing after he had had enough rest and had enough emotion. Sometimes when he was in a bad state and tired, he did not force himself to write.Although there are a lot of words updated this month, Long is really happy typing every day.
Well, the next chapter should be a big chapter. Usually a big chapter of [-] words takes half a day to write. Don’t wait any longer.
