The devil is coming

Chapter 163 Divide
Under the city gate, Prince Fu's coffin had been pulled out and thrown at the city gate.
The coffin had collapsed, and inside, there was not only a headless corpse, but also a lot of funerary objects.
The funerary objects here naturally do not include those in Prince Fu's mausoleum, but as Prince Fu, the coffin is naturally very luxurious.
More than a dozen knights were riding horses beside the coffin, while Xue San was sitting on the edge of the coffin, with his two short legs dangling in the air.
King Fu's head once spent several lonely nights with Xue San under the deep well,
Therefore,
Xue San still has feelings for this fat prince.
But no one knows whether King Fu, who is under the Nine Springs, will recognize this "love".
Previously, it was precisely because King Fu's coffin was stuck at the city gate that the Yan army was able to successfully rush through the gate.
In other words, King Fu, oh no, it is the body of King Fu, which contributed to Dayan!
When Zheng Fan passed by on horseback, he glanced at the coffin and suddenly felt a little funny. This blessed king was really full of treasures.
The head allows him to achieve military merit, and the headless body can also help break up the city.
"My lord, how should I deal with this pimple?"
The "pimple" in Xue San's mouth naturally refers to the body of King Fu.
"Take care of it first, tidy up the place, and don't let people expose corpses outside."
"okay."
Xue San nodded.
From a rational point of view, Zheng Fan does not really want to play the role of executioner. He believes that annexing and occupying in a more peaceful way is the most effective way.
Prince Fu was the vassal king, and he was already dead. Zheng Fan's plan was to help Prince Fu arrange the funeral after he finished his business in the city.
The great affairs of the country lie in sacrifice and military affairs
The sacrifice here actually refers not only to the sacrifices to ancestors and gods, but also to the respect for the culture and customs of the other country.
Fortunately, there is actually not much difference in appearance between the Yan people and the Gan people. If I am nitpicking, the reason may be that people from the hinterland of the Qian Kingdom and the south of the Yangtze River generally have softer facial lines, while the faces of the Yan people are more angular. A little clearer and more obvious.
This difference is not due to blood, but purely due to geography, climate and style.
Therefore, there is no fundamental irreconcilability between Yan and Qian.
By burying King Fu, you can send a relatively benign political signal to the people of the Qian country, especially the powerful class. If you really dig up other people's ancestral graves, wouldn't you force them to fight with you?
Regarding this issue, Zheng Fan once had an in-depth discussion with the blind man.
In the end, the main theme is how Emperor Yan will rule the Qian Kingdom, whether it will be gentle or iron-blooded. He and others cannot affect this anyway.
But as long as you insist on being a "good guy", even if they are all invaders, if you are a "kind-faced" invader, you may actually trigger the Stockholm Syndrome in others, and it will be easier and more convenient to attract Chinese people in the future. support.
Look,
The battle has just begun, and we still don’t know how the battle will develop next.
But Zheng Fan and his demon kings are already preparing for future rebellion!
After entering the city, there were many corpses at the city gate and on the streets, as well as arrows and traces of battles. However, the defenders of Chuzhou City should have very low fighting will, and not many people died.
On the contrary, when the Zhenbei Army cleared the streets later, many people in the city who had not yet realized what the situation was and wanted to run out to watch the excitement were directly beheaded or shot.
As he rode his horse all the way, Zheng Fan felt quite at peace in his heart. In war, no one would die. It was impossible to quickly stabilize the order of a city without killing people.
But overall, Chuzhou City is now in a state of "panic" calm.
The military discipline of the Zhenbei Army was indeed good, and there was no burning, killing or looting in the city.
Of course, this was also because it was too easy to get down from the city. It did not arouse the anger in the hearts of the soldiers, but gave the whole army an unreal feeling.
Facing a fierce tiger, it was hard to knock it down, so naturally you had to go up and kill it quickly;
But when faced with a weak little white rabbit, for a moment, you really couldn't bear to take action.
Therefore,
Isn’t the situation very good now?
What the hell is Li Fusheng going crazy about!
Zheng Fan found Li Fusheng,
At this time, Li Fusheng was squatting on the tower of the South City Gate.
The Zhenbei Army rushed in from the north gate. After a fierce attack, they quickly defeated the defenders of Chuzhou City. They then spread out from the north gate to control the entire city while imposing martial law on all four quarters.
This caused many defeated troops and civilians with quick brains and quick reactions to instinctively flee towards the south city gate. Unfortunately, a group of three thousand cavalry was already waiting there, completely blocking the group of people back.
Therefore, at the gate of Nancheng, a large number of people were kneeling in darkness.
He glanced over and made a rough estimate in his mind. He found that the number of defeated troops was about four to five thousand, and the number of civilians was twice as many.
The Zhenbei sergeants squeezed them together like they were driving a flock of sheep. In the encirclement, it could be said that people were sitting next to each other.
Around him, especially on both sides of Li Fusheng, rows of soldiers were already readying their bows and arrows.
Zheng Fan quickly dismounted and ran up the tower.
Oh shit,
Li Fusheng had reminded himself several times before that he liked killing, so if necessary, he had to stop him himself.
Zheng Fan thought the other party was just making a half-truth joke, but who knew that this guy was actually a heartless person!
The war has just begun, and the capital city has been successfully captured. You have your head caught in the door and you want to massacre the city?
Li Fusheng turned his head and glanced at Zheng Fan, who was running over quickly.
There was a faint red light in his eyes.
This was a feeling that Zheng Fan had never seen before. It was a bit like the demon in Li Fusheng's heart, which seemed to have awakened.
Of course, there cannot be any demon in Li Fusheng's heart. According to the analysis of Blind Bei, a psychiatrist, Li Fusheng should have a mental illness.
Moreover, it has reached a very serious level.
In the past life, this kind of mental illness often appeared in serial murderers. Killing and hunting their targets has become an addiction that is almost more difficult than drug addiction for such people.
"grown ups!"
Zheng Fan cupped his fists at Li Fusheng.
"You're here."
Li Fusheng said.
Zheng Fan suddenly had a feeling that Li Fusheng was waiting for him, just like a person calling a doctor when he was sick.
He was patiently waiting for his arrival.
Zheng Fan glanced behind Li Fusheng, where stood a row of generals and guerrilla generals. None of these people with higher official positions and status than himself dared to speak to Li Fusheng at this time.
Obviously, Li Fusheng's prestige among the troops in his town is extremely high.
"Sir, is this what you want?" Zheng Fan asked knowingly.
Li Fusheng grabbed the wall tiles under him with both hands. Zheng Fan saw clear dents appearing on the wall tiles. This scene really looked like he was addicted to D.
"How could this city be captured so easily?"
Li Fusheng gritted his teeth and said.
It’s too easy to get to the city and it’s not satisfying!
People, too few deaths are not enough!
After running long distance for so long, I thought I would have a hearty and tough battle waiting for me, but in the end I actually captured the whole city in this weird way!
If you do too much foreplay, you will be more disappointed!
Zheng Fan was a little stunned,
Then his eyes glanced at the dark crowd below the tower,
Look,
Who told you to be so dissatisfied? Resist a little longer, fight a little longer.
it's good now,
Defeat and surrender come too quickly,
It makes our boss unhappy.
"Sir, this city already belongs to Dayan."
Li Fusheng shook his head and said:
"We will not divide our troops to garrison here, we will continue to move south."
Li Fusheng looked at Zheng Fan and continued:
"We will not defend this city."
The established policy is indeed to continue going south. This is Chu County. To the south, if we go in a straight line and don't consider detours, there are Xishan County and Beihe County. After passing these two counties, there is Bianzhou County. Once there, we can go there again. After crossing the Bian River, we can say that we have touched the Shangjing City of Qian Kingdom.
"But this city still belongs to Dayan after all."
Li Fusheng smiled,
in the smile,
With a hint of coldness.
At this moment, Zheng Fan's body started to feel cold. If there was a chance, he really wanted to ask the Marquis of Zhenbei whether mentally ill patients could become general soldiers?
"I am very angry."
"Sir, you are our backbone."
Li Fusheng was a little unaccustomed to this battlefield, because the Yan Kingdom and the barbarians had had a blood feud for hundreds of years, and it had risen to the level of racial hatred.
Killing and exterminating the barbarians was the political correctness of the Yan State. Under this political correctness, Li Fusheng was like a fish in water.
In fact, the most important point is that Yan State is unable to develop and control the desert, because the desert is too barren, but Qian State is different. Qian State is the fat that Emperor Yan wants to swallow.
Li Fusheng stretched out his hand and put it on Zheng Fan's shoulder.
Road:
"But I really want to kill someone."
"My lord, if you have the chance, please bear with me a little longer."
"What are you going to do with these people?"
The blood in Li Fusheng's eyes was slowly fading away, which meant that this man was recovering from his previous extreme state.
"Sir, our army is rushing to attack and does not carry much food and supplies. The lower official suggested that we first conduct a selection and pick up the food from the homes of wealthy and prominent people. Half of the food obtained will be included in our army's military supplies to provide supplies for the continued march south. , half of the wealth and goods obtained will be rewarded to the entire army to boost morale."
Li Fusheng narrowed his eyes and said:
"go on."
Zheng Fan pointed to the dark crowd below and said:
"Find some local military chiefs or officials in Chuzhou City and push them to the top. Your Excellency will respond to the situation and re-appoint the chief civil servants and military officers in Chuzhou City, and then let them reorganize their own team.
At the same time, confiscating the family will lead to the extermination of the clan, and the death blow must be carried out, but it is not our Yan Army who takes action, but their own action. We, the Yan Army officers and soldiers, are only responsible for holding down the formation from the sidelines. "
"You said we would only take half of the wealth, food and grass mentioned earlier, but what about the remaining half?"
"Distribute it to them, as well as to the heads of Guizhou inside and outside the city."
Li Fusheng lowered his hands slightly and stood up with his support on the ground.
Zheng Fan continued:
"However, it is up to them to confiscate homes and exterminate clans, but it is up to us to distribute food, grass and goods."
"interesting."
"This is just the general's personal opinion."
"It's not shallow anymore, it's very deep."
Li Fusheng reached out, took out a bright yellow booklet from his arms, and handed it to Zheng Fan.
Zheng Fan opened it and found that it contained measures to deal with the occupied city.
It is very concise and concise, and uses a very vernacular narrative method. It is obvious that the person who wrote this has a very clear understanding of the cultural literacy of "soldiers" in this era.
The first is to unconditionally meet the supply of our own army under any conditions, that is, to provide food to the enemy.
The second article is a policy based on the premise that the army has sufficient supplies.
The general meaning is the same as what Zheng Fan said before, but it is more detailed and has some additions. It can be seen that the person who wrote this booklet plans and thinks about things in a more detailed and comprehensive way.
At the moment, Zheng Fan is with Li Fusheng's [-] horsemen. Because they have broken into Chuzhou City, it can be said that this is one of the most fertile places in Chu County. Naturally, this is the second strategy on the booklet.
Finally, two seals were stamped on the book, one on the top and one on the bottom.
The one on the top that Zheng Fan recognized should be the seal used by Emperor Yan. Zheng Fan really couldn't recognize the seal on the bottom for a while.
"Earlier, the Marquis said that you have a very good eye. I still didn't believe it. Now, I believe it. Do you know who wrote this booklet?"
"The end will not know."
"I am the Great Yan Zaifu, Zhao Jiulang."
Zheng Fan was stunned for a moment. His first reaction was that he and Zhao Jiulang were having a holiday. After all, he once led his barbarian soldiers to the other party's alma mater.
Now, I have a deeper understanding of this great Yan Zaifu.
A prime minister can personally write such a booklet for the frontline commander, and the content of the booklet is so detailed, wow.
"You must have never read this brochure. You are very good."
Li Fusheng stretched out his hand to rub his eyebrows and continued:
"I'll leave it to you to do these things."
As he said that, Li Fusheng turned around and glanced at the generals standing behind him, and all of them accepted the promise.
"If you don't have enough people in your own department, go to them and ask for help."
"The final general will not disgrace his life!"
"Oh, yes."
Li Fusheng patted Zheng Fan on the shoulder for the second time and left immediately.
Zheng Fan took a deep breath,
everything,
It's all easy to say, but it starts to get complicated when you actually start doing it.
but,
Zheng Shoubei didn't panic at all.
He has a group of helpers.
It's not like Zheng Fan never had sex with time travel in his previous life, thinking about how he would develop, take this path or that path, in short, various peaks in life.
But after traveling to this world,
Zheng Fan became more and more aware of one thing.
If these seven demon kings were not by his side,
I didn't know where the fart had gone.
reach out,
Zheng Fan called over a soldier beside him.
The other party came over and handed over to Zheng Fan:
"grown ups."
Zheng Fan pointed to the location of the blind man and Fan Li under the city wall and said:
"Excuse me, help me call them both up."
"Here!"
Immediately afterwards, a general in his early thirties with thick eyebrows and big eyes walked up to Zheng Fan and said enthusiastically:
"Zheng Shoubei, my unit of 5000 troops has no city defense or outpost duties for the time being, so I can leave them to you to drive them."
Zheng Fan knew that the other party was Sun Guyi, a guerrilla general under Li Fusheng.
Although Li Fusheng had warned him before when he left, Sun Guyi took the initiative to come over and say this. The purpose of building a personal friendship between the two was very clear.
"Thank you General Sun."
"You're welcome. Zheng Shoubei is also from the north. We are our own family. Let me tell you, no matter how many twists and turns this takes, it's not as solid as the folks in our hometown. It's not easy for us northerners. Fighting with barbarians After several lifetimes, what have I relied on? Isn’t it just a watch and help?
Zheng Shoubei, tell me, is this true? "
"That's exactly what the general said."
"Okay, hurry up and get busy. If you need to mobilize troops and send people to my place to support you, just give me a call. In addition, you have to hurry up. We can only stay here for one more day."
"I understand, thank you General Sun."
"Oh, you are so polite. No drinking is allowed in the army when we leave camp. If you have time someday, you can come to my tent and I will call all those people over. Let's have a good meal together."
"Okay, when the end comes, I will lick my face with only one mouth."
"Hahaha."
Sun Guyi left, and the other guerrilla generals and generals had already descended from the tower one after another.
After a while, Blind Bei and Fan Li walked up.
Zheng Fan told the blind man what he had said to Li Fusheng before.
in fact,
From the perspective of the surrounding sergeants, Zheng Fan just stood there silently, as if thinking about something. In fact, the blind man had opened a "guild channel" with Zheng Fan to chat privately.
"Then this Zhao Jiulang is really a character."
There was a bit of dissatisfaction and... helplessness in the blind man's words.
Yan Guo seems to pull out anyone at random, and they are all great characters. So what should I and others do in the future?
just,
When Zheng Fan told the blind man what Sun Guyi said,
The blind man was silent for a moment.
He opened his mouth and said:
"My lord, it has begun."
Zheng Fan nodded, indicating that he understood this.
"Earlier, Marquis Zhenbei wanted to poach you. It was out of public motives and he cherished talents. Given the height of Marquis Zhenbei, everything he did was basically out of true temperament.
But Sun Guyi was different. Among the general armies, he was the most xenophobic. Although his lord was from the north, he was developed in the south and was already regarded as the Marquis of Jingnan.
In addition, you, the Lord, will be in charge of this matter of ransacking the house and dividing the property.
A foreigner who temporarily joined this army and also took charge of the distribution of spoils should logically be ostracized. "
"Correct."
"Sun Guyi, it should be Li Fusheng's request. Your Majesty, based on my previous experience, the IQ of mental patients is actually not low, and is even higher than that of ordinary people.
Moreover, although Li Fusheng was the general of the army under the Marquis of Zhenbei, his meaning may be different from that of the Marquis of Zhenbei. "
Zheng Fan nodded,
Road:
"Yes, even if the two Marquises and Emperor Yan are standing together, the people below are already starting to pull the trigger."
"Don't worry, Lord, this is just a symptom. At present, it will not affect the war."
"I know this."
"And, Lord, in the long run, this is inevitable. At the same time, it is also our opportunity in the future."
"Don't think about these things for now, just do the things in front of you first."
Blind Bei smiled and said confidently:
"Small idea."
