The devil is coming

Chapter 176
this moment,
Zheng Fan, I really feel like my destiny is in my hands!
If it weren’t for Li Fusheng above his head, if it weren’t for the Marquis of Zhenbei and the Marquis of Jingnan above him, if it weren’t for the Emperor Yan, and if it weren’t for Eunuch Wei,
If he didn't have only 500 people under his command,
If it weren't for there being so many others,
Zheng Shoubei can really give a "eye signal" to the blind man,
Then he wore a yellow robe.
However, Zheng Fan, who was always cautious, immediately asked:
"Could it be a scam?"
Liang Cheng shook his head and said, "They can't afford to cheat."
Fake surrender, lure the enemy deep, and then counterattack, you have to look at the level of the opponent.
The local guards of Qingshan County, a group of deserters, and a group of local people from the county,
Can this group of people be able to do such a high-end job as pretending to surrender?
Just like the strategy of "fake defeat" was rarely used in ancient times, because in many cases, a fake defeat would turn into a real rout.
Hearing Liang Cheng's answer, Zheng Fan felt relieved.
Although I have no intention of attacking this city, since they have opened the city gate, I have to go in, right?
Is it possible that you can still say to others:
No, you go back first and continue to defend the city until I come to attack the city next time!
Zheng Fan was not Li Fusheng, and he did not have such a strong desire to kill. At that moment, the cavalry began to move forward, and the entire team pressed forward.
"Kong Mingde, who holds the humble position of Chief Registrar of Qingshan County, please see me, Your Excellency!"
"Zhang Hongqi, the humble captain of the Imperial Military Academy, comes to see you, Your Excellency!"
One is the local master register,
One is a captain of the imperial army,
The leader who was tied into a rice dumpling should be the magistrate of Qingshan County.
The county magistrate was gagged and kept struggling "whimpering" with indignation in his eyes. When he looked at the two people around him and the Yan people, he looked extremely disgusted!
Zheng Fan pointed at the county magistrate,
Road:
"Chopped."
When the county magistrate heard this order, he struggled even more intensely!
Zheng Fan smiled, although he felt that it was wrong for him to laugh at this time.
Because no matter what, since the county magistrate in front of him will be escorted out by his subordinates to ask for surrender, it is obviously because he intends to hold on and does not intend to surrender.
He is a man of strong character and integrity, and he is also a respectable person.
He should have resigned himself to his fate, but he was probably still preparing to take the stuff out of his mouth.
Faced with the Yan people’s persuasion to surrender,
He will spit on the ground,
yelled:
"Bah, Yangou, I, XXX, will never surrender until I die!"
As a result, Zheng Fan jumped directly.
Liang Cheng stepped forward and killed the county magistrate with one blow.
In fact, this county magistrate may have no integrity left, because since he plans to defend the city, he still uses deserters to defend the city, and at the same time he cannot deal with the local forces in Qingshan County. This proves the professional level and ability of this magistrate. It's indeed bad enough.
Kong Mingde and Zhang Hongqi knelt on the ground, trembling.
Obviously, skipping steps will make both parties a little uncomfortable.
"My lord, do you want to enter the city?"
Liang Cheng asked.
"Come in and come out."
"Subordinates obey."
Next, a scene that surprised the people of Qingshan County appeared.
The Yan army rushed into the city with great momentum, then circled around the city, and then drove out of the city in full view of everyone.
The people were confused,
The guards were stunned;
Kong Mingde and Zhang Hongqi were also confused.
Zheng Fan rode his horse and walked up to the two of them.
The two of them knew that the young man in front of them was the leader of the Yan army and they hurriedly lowered their heads.
Zheng Fan took off his sword and threw it directly in front of the two of them.
Road:
"My surname is Zheng, and my name is Zheng Fan. I don't know if you have heard of me. Come on, I like you. I will give this knife to you two."
Zheng Fan pointed at Kong Mingde and said:
"You are the magistrate of Qingshan County."
Kong Mingde looked at the knife on the ground, then looked up at Zheng Fan. He was a little surprised, but he quickly reacted and kowtowed:
"Thank you sir."
Zheng Fan pointed at Zhang Hongqi again and said:
"You, guard Qingshan County."
"Thank you sir."
"Send someone to Chuzhou City to deliver a letter to Wen Sutong, saying that you have joined me, Dayan."
"Honestly obey orders."
"Honestly obey orders."
finished speaking,
Zheng Fan waved his hand,
The sergeants followed Zheng Fan around Qingshan County.
Zhang Hongqi and Kong Mingde, who had been kneeling on the ground for a long time without getting up, looked at each other.
They all saw doubts in each other's eyes,
What are the Yan people doing here?
In fact, Zheng Fan didn't know exactly what he was playing.
Yes, he just said that this place is suitable for development, but he never thought of taking over the city today.
And now that the Yan army didn't even leave a single soldier in Chuzhou City, how could they divide their forces to guard Qingshan County?
If Zheng Fan really dares to keep troops here, if he keeps too few, he will be ineffective, and if he keeps too many, he will definitely be severely punished by Li Fusheng. This is disrespect for military orders. This kind of mistake on the battlefield, no matter who Zheng Fan is favored by, or whose people he is, None of them work.
It's not that I haven't thought about leaving a demon king here to watch the scene, so I should sort out this place in advance.
But once here, there may be changes in the future, and it may even change hands. Each of the seven demon kings is more important to Zheng Fan than thousands of troops.
Secondly, we have to continue going south. We all agreed to play together. It would be inappropriate for you to leave someone here now, because the person left behind will have to worry about whether he will die suddenly.
The most important thing is whether I will be assigned to Qingshan County in the future, and I haven’t even scratched my head yet!
Therefore, I can only ban two officials casually like this, and then leave directly.
The matter of being granted an official position is not a big problem. According to the style of work of the upper class of Yan State, it is definitely understandable. After all, there is no reason for you to just ignore someone who surrenders in Kaicheng.
However, because of this delay, it was already late at night when Zheng Fan and his men caught up with the main force.
As soon as Zheng Fan entered the camp, he received a military order saying that Li Fusheng was already angry when he saw that he was not returning.
There was no way, Zheng Shoubei didn't care about rest, so he immediately went to the military camp. As soon as he finished reporting and entered the military tent, Li Fusheng, who was sitting on the blanket, cursed directly:
"Nao Niang, you returned to camp so late. I asked you to keep an eye on Qingshan City. Could it be that you went to take down Qingshan City?"
Zheng Fan was stunned for a moment and asked:
"Sir, do you know everything?"
"Well, what do I know?"
"Qingshan City was captured by my subordinates."
"..." Li Fusheng.
Li Fusheng waited for a while and then said:
"Tell me in detail."
Zheng Fan told what happened. Of course, things like Wolong and the development land were skipped.
After listening to Zheng Fan's narration, Li Fusheng patted his thigh and said with emotion:
"Zheng Shoubei, your luck is truly unparalleled."
"Actually, it was because the Lord's battle the day before yesterday broke Ganren's courage. Ganren was afraid of the bravery of His Majesty's men, so he surrendered without any intention of defending the city."
"Don't say nice things. Although there is no difference between conquering this city and not conquering it, it will be recorded in the credit book for you."
"Thank you sir!"
"Okay, okay, let's get down to business."
"What's the matter?"
"I received a military report at night that half of Li Bao's troops were in Beihe County and defeated the [-] Xiang army led by the Jiedushi of Beihe County."
When Li Fusheng said this, he looked a little angry.
Because of the incident in Chuzhou City, his troops were delayed for a few more days. This also made it possible that until now, they have not left Chujun County and have not yet entered Beihe County.
As a result, Li Bao's troops had already entered Beihe County and were about to fight a big battle.
"The Xiang army of Qian Kingdom is nothing but trash." Zheng Fan said.
Basically, the Xiang army of the Qian Kingdom is much more capable of farming than of fighting. Such an army really has no combat effectiveness.
Moreover, Beihe County's Xiang army had been screened before, and all the soldiers and generals who were still of some quality were screened out. The Beihe County Jiedushi entrusted it to his son-in-law Han Wu to take him northward, which was Li Fusheng the day before yesterday. part of the defeated army.
This is enough to show what kind of scum is left in the Xiang army in Beihe County.
"They're all trash. I beat [-] pieces of trash, but Li Bao beat [-], but he, Li Bao, still overshadowed him!"
have to,
What Li Fusheng was unhappy about was this.
Competition within one's own group.
"Then what are Master Li Bao's soldiers and horses doing now?"
"I didn't take any rest and continued south."
Hiss, are you in such a hurry?
Zheng Fan thought about what the blind man said in the afternoon, and combined with what Li Fusheng said about General Li Bao's command, he only had half of the army.
It seems that the two marquises of Zhenbei and Jingnan have nearly 20 troops roaming and hiding in Chu County, waiting for the reinforcements from the three armies of the Qian Kingdom.
What really went south from Chu County was Li Fusheng's half of the town and Li Bao's half of the town.
The purpose of these two troops is to go south, go south, and go south again, until they reach the heart of Gan Qian's heart, forcing Emperor Qian to issue an edict to urge troops from all three sides to return for reinforcements.
This is a general strategy, but on a small level, Li Fusheng and Li Bao are racing. Whoever reaches the capital first will be the first.
This is not just a fight for breath, but also has deeper political and future development implications.
Now that the Zhenbei Army has gone south, it is impossible to bring them all back to Beifeng County. It is destined that more than half of the Zhenbei Army will continue to stay.
To be more realistic, any fool can make a choice wherever it is comfortable and where he can live a good life. Even if these general soldiers don't care, even people like Li Fusheng probably prefer to kill people in the desert without restraint, but he Where are the men under my command?
Sometimes, as a leader, you have to represent not only yourself, but also the collective interests of the people behind you.
However, Li Bao's army of soldiers and horses is really as its name suggests. They are extremely fast. If they chase them, they probably won't be able to catch up.
"Sir, I have a plan."
"Oh? Let's hear it."
Li Fusheng had obviously held meetings with his generals before, and he must have had no other options before he came to ask Zheng Fan.
After all, before the battle the day before yesterday, Zheng Fan's military level was recognized by Li Fusheng.
Zheng Fan took a deep breath and exhaled it slowly. This time there was no off-site connection and he had to rely on himself. However, he really had a way.
"Sir, if we can slow down a little bit, we can reach Shangjing faster than Lord Li Bao's team."
"Slower?" Li Fusheng looked at Zheng Fan with some confusion.
"Sir, Lord Li Bao's group has already entered the hinterland of Beihe County. It is only a matter of time before they enter Xishan County. But after entering Xishan County, no matter how stupid you are, you will know what Lord Li Bao is going to do. Therefore, They will definitely summon all the war-ready troops in the capital and nearby areas. For their own face and the face of their officials, they will definitely try every means to stop Mr. Li Bao's attempt to drive directly to the capital from Xishan County.
Gan Ren absolutely does not want my Dayan cavalry to appear outside Shangjing City. "
"You mean, let me deliberately take my time behind and let Li Bao face the pressure of killing someone alone?"
The Qian Kingdom has many soldiers and horses, and there are so many soldiers and horses in the military register that it can scare a person to death.
Of course, in reality, although the number of soldiers and horses is greatly reduced, compared with the Yan State, it is really not that few.
Although many of the soldiers and horses inside are not very good at fighting, there are still a few that can help a little bit. No one will doubt this.
The [-] Xiang troops that Li Bao had previously defeated could only be said to be miscellaneous soldiers of the Qian Kingdom and not much of anything. However, when he led his army further in, the Qian Kingdom court who received the news could immediately mobilize as many as possible from the surrounding areas. The elites came over to defend Xishan County and even Bianzhou County.
Without Li Fusheng's troops as backup or to help share the pressure, it would be really difficult for Li Bao to break through Ganren's defense.
Of course, if the attack is really ineffective and Li Bao breaks through, then there is nothing we can do.
"Zheng Shoubei, although we have always competed with each other in the six towns of the Northern Army and refused to submit to anyone, on the battlefield, we never do anything that pleases our relatives and enemies."
Li Fusheng's expression and words became serious. Obviously, Zheng Fan's suggestion had touched the inner feelings of Li Fusheng.
Zheng Fan immediately replied:
"Sir, Lord Li Bao's troops are in front to attract the attention of the Gan people, so that the few combatable soldiers near the capital will be attracted to Lord Li Bao.
Only then did our army have the opportunity to find a gap in Qianren's defense, penetrate directly through it, and attack Shangjing!
The troops went to Beijing in alarm. This is the real purpose of our army's march south this time.
The subordinates believe that Mr. Li Bao understands the righteousness and is willing to cover and involve our army and help our army move south to Beijing.
In fact, Mr. Li Bao marched so eagerly just to distance our army and create opportunities for our army. It can be said that he has good intentions and understands the righteousness! "
"Well………"
Li Fusheng was thoughtful,
Li Bao's face immediately appeared in his mind, as well as his mouth that smelled strongly of garlic all day long.
Li Fusheng has long said that he is a rough man and a bit stupid.
But in front of Li Bao, Li Fusheng has always had a psychological advantage, because among the seven generals of the Zhenbei Army, Li Bao is the most stupid.
He likes to eat the most, he likes to eat alone, he likes to fight for military glory, he likes to fight for opportunities, he likes to fight for everything, and his eating appearance is also the most ugly!
But Li Fusheng still sighed:
"It's true, I have always admired Li Bao's character."
