The devil is coming

Chapter 211
"Do you know that based on your words, even if you die ten times, it will not be unjust at all."
Zheng Fan sat in silence, not deliberately showing any panic.
Without the political sensitivity and understanding of Jingnan Hou, Zheng Chengshou would not dare to dance on the tip of a knife.
Dayan and the Situ family had a tacit understanding to maintain peace. From a noble point of view, it was because the Yan State respected the Situ family and specifically raised a hand to defend the Great Xia kingdoms from the invasion of barbarians.
And if this is not the reason, it can only be that someone among the three giants has a physical problem, and when this person has a physical problem, it will directly affect the country's decision-making.
That's all that's left,
Your Majesty.
Tian Wujing seemed to have just stopped there and had no intention of going any further on this topic. Instead, he said:
"What do you think of the situation in Jin at this time?"
Zheng Fan immediately replied:
"Master Marquis, originally the land of the Three Jins was supposed to be extremely chaotic. It would take a lot of time and energy for me, Dayan, to digest it completely. But now that the Situ family has established the Dacheng Kingdom, in comparison, it has helped us divide it. Three Jins.
This time, the land of the Three Jin Dynasties is in turmoil, and many powerful powers have emerged. It seems that there is a wildfire that can start a prairie fire, but it is all a false fire. Even if our army watches the fire from the other side, it will be extinguished while it is burning. This can be said to have eliminated these thoughts once and for all. Those who were disobedient to discipline were pulled out. "
"Just looking at it won't do."
"Yes, what the Marquis said is true. What the general means is to watch first, and then start putting out the fire when it reaches its peak. You don't have to use too much force. After all, no matter how weak the fire is, you will burn your hand accidentally. Not comfortable.
Slowly attack, slowly drive away, slowly draw out, and finally, these flames will naturally be involved in the Situ family. "
"Wouldn't this increase the momentum of his Situ family?"
"Otherwise, Lord Marquis, if the orange grows in Huainan, it will be orange, and if it grows in the north of Huaibei, it will become zhi.
The powerful families here, the reason why they can create such momentum is very similar to the powerful families in Dayan back then. They just rely on the popularity of the people on the ground. Once they leave their homeland and go to a new land, Just like a fish out of water, it will become a refugee. Not only will it lose its previous arrogance, but it will become a burden and burden. "
"Your opinion is indeed good."
"Master Hou is absurd."
"It's Huainan County and Huaibei County, or this Huai, is it a river? Where is it? Why have I never heard of it?"
"..." Zheng Fan.
"That's all, let's not think about this anymore."
Tian Wujing stood up, and Zheng Fan quickly followed suit.
"Zheng Chengshou."
"Master Hou, the general is here."
"Have you ever regretted it since you left Cuiliu Castle to where you are now?"
"When I return to the Marquis, I feel so regretful that my intestines are green."
"Ah."
"The general is also greedy, thinking that since he is going to Jin to take up his post, he should establish a good relationship with the Emperor of Jin first so that he can take care of him no matter what happens in the future. Who knows..."
"Zheng Chengshou, you are sure that I will not blame you, so you are so open-minded to me?"
As a general of Yan, he actually thought about secretly communicating with the Emperor of Jin in advance. This is simply a shameful thing.
"You are not accustomed to it, Lord Marquis."
Zheng Chengshou borrowed a stick to climb up.
"You are a talented person, so I will pamper you."
"Yes, good birds choose trees to roost. Under the hands of the Marquis, their hearts are open and happy."
"But I have something to remind you."
"Please give me your instructions, Lord Marquis!"
"Are you from Yan?"
"Yes!"
"Are you General Yan?"
"Yes!"
"Has Dayan ever betrayed you?"
"Never!"
"If Dayan doesn't let you down..."
"Then I will never let down Dayan! I will never let down the Marquis!"
"Remember the first half of your sentence."
"I will always remember it in my heart."
Marquis Jingnan looked out the window calmly. It was night and it started to rain outside.
At this time, in the southern part of Qian Kingdom, winter has passed, and the breath of spring is already very strong. However, since Jin and Yan are both located in the north, this winter will naturally be longer.
Therefore, it is not unreasonable for the literary style not to flourish in the Yan-Jin region. There are four seasons throughout the year, and winter is the longest. Unlike the Qian Kingdom, most places have distinct four seasons.
If you cannot see enough spring flowers and autumn moon, you will naturally not be able to raise a true poet.
But sometimes, living too comfortably can easily soften one's bones.
Marquis Jingnan raised his hand,
Road:
"Zheng Chengshou obeys the order!"
Zheng Fan immediately knelt down on one knee and said sincerely:
"The end is here!"
"You must gather your troops quickly and draw a thousand fine cavalry. They will be used by me at the right time."
"The last will obey!"
After receiving the order, Zheng Fan stood up and asked with a shy face:
"Master Hou, who are you trying to hit?"
"Whoever just hit you, we will hit him now."
"Fight the Jin army?"
The Dacheng Kingdom was established, and in the land of the Three Jins, the only one that could be temporarily called the Jin Army was actually the Yu family's troops in the capital.
After all, Yu Huacheng has not been canonized by the Dacheng Kingdom. In name, he and his subordinates are still part of the Jin army, even though they were preparing to put the butcher's knife on the neck of their emperor two days ago.
"How to stabilize the situation in the three Jin Dynasties. The people in the court have their own considerations, but I also have my own considerations. You can listen to what the people in the court say, but don't affect your own work."
"Then before they..."
“They retreated not because of my reputation, Tian Wujing, but because they did not dare to attack me at this time for fear of offending me, Dayan;
I am standing in front of them, and they themselves do not dare to kill me. Do I still want to thank them for not killing me?
This place is already the land of Yan,
Is there any reason why they can come and fight when they want and leave when they want?
Zheng Chengshou, I admire you very much, but there is one thing I feel you lack. As a military general, you must have wolf nature. You can retreat temporarily, but retreating is not to save yourself, but to seek to bite off the opponent's neck. Opportunity. "
"I will eventually be taught."
Zheng Fan felt that Tian Wujing's words today were a bit too much, and he obviously wanted to mention something about himself.
However, since Tian Wujing said he would send troops, Zheng Fan naturally sent troops. After resigning, Zheng Fan immediately called the blind man and Liang Cheng to arrange the work.
When he was expecting his son, Marquis Jingnan, wearing a gilt armor, rode out of Wubao on a rested Pixiu. Behind him, there were more than a thousand knights following him.
The moon is dark and the wind is high,
Thousand rides roll Hiraoka.
When this group of troops arrived at the foot of Xinsu City, the two flag-carrying knights brought by Jingnan Marquis took the initiative to step forward.
for a while,
The gate of Xinsu City opened from the inside, and a general soldier rode out, passed the crowd directly to Tian Wujing, saluted on the horse and said:
"See Lord Hou!"
"Leave one to watch the city, and the rest to join the battle."
"The last will obey!"
The Jingnan Army was a force built by Tian Wujing himself. Not to mention that Tian Wujing was the top talker in the newly promoted Yan Kingdom at this time. Even if he was nothing, he could still mobilize this place easily. The Jingnan Army obeyed its own military orders.
Whether it is the Zhenbei Army or the Jingnan Army, in fact, the army only knows the Marquis but not the Majesty.
Only Emperor Yan could accept or even take the initiative to promote this situation. If it were any other emperor, as long as he had the ability, he would definitely be thinking about cutting down the feudal vassal and "releasing military power over a glass of wine."
Soon, four thousand cavalry emerged from Xinsu City and merged with Zheng Fan's troops. This team already had a scale of five thousand cavalry.
To deal with a medium-sized battle, five thousand cavalry is actually enough.
The troops and horses were reorganized. Marquis Jingnan was very particular about the preparation of his troops. He liked to peel off the chaos and complexity of the battlefield, so as to find opportunities to disintegrate or defeat the enemy.
Zheng Fan's troops were temporarily incorporated into this army, and Zheng Fan himself followed Jingnan Marquis.
The demon kings did not follow, but stayed in their own team. After all, in the eyes of the demon kings, it must be the safest for the master to follow Tian Wujing, a third-level martial artist.
The sentries and cavalry were not released. After marching eastward for dozens of miles, they all dismounted and rested under the order of Jingnan Marquis.
Zheng Fan knew that this was to build up horse power and restore both people and horses to their best condition.
Tian Wujing leaned against his Pixiu. The Pixiu was also very considerate and took the initiative to lie down for support.
This made Zheng Fan jealous, thinking that he would capture a psychic beast as a mount in the future.
In fact, if things develop according to the previous plan, after becoming the city guard of Shengle City, I will definitely search for resources in the nearby Tianduan Mountains, and monsters are a kind of scarce and precious "hard currency". Not only is it very popular among Eastern aristocrats, but it is also expensive to sell to the West.
But the plan could never keep up with the changes. First, after returning from the battle to the south, Xu Wenzu did not replenish his troops and horses, and then there was another two-day battle to defend the city;
It is conceivable that when the cavalry is about to charge into the formation, several layers of the belongings under his hands will have to be cut off.
This damn thing is such a waste of money.
But Zheng Fan couldn't show any dissatisfaction on his face. Instead, he had to pretend to be very calm.
Tian Wujing, who had closed his eyes to rest, slowly opened his eyes, looked at Zheng Fan, and said:
"Don't be a petty person."
Zheng Fan smiled like Fan Li.
"As long as you can break into the imperial palace in the capital of Jin State, and profit from the wealth inside, it will be enough for you to make up for this shortfall."
Zheng Fan did not expect that Marquis Jingnan would say such things to him. For a warlord, wealth must be the most important thing. Although there are many treasures looted from Chuzhou City hidden in Prince Fu's tomb, Because I haven't settled down here, I haven't been able to arrange for someone to secretly transfer it.
Take a step back and say,
How can the wealth in the Jin Palace be compared to that of Chuzhou City?
Even though the Yu family has been claiming to the outside world that their lives are difficult, there were even rumors that after the Helian family was destroyed, the Jin emperor spent all his money to recruit defeated soldiers.
But a lean camel is bigger than a horse. The majestic Jin Dynasty Imperial Palace has not been looted for hundreds of years. The sediment inside is absolutely astonishing.
Although it takes time to realize wealth, and it also takes time to recruit troops, facts have proven time and time again that if you are poor, then your time is basically worthless.
"After that battle, many defeated soldiers hid in the countryside. At the same time, the local powerful families could also use their wealth to win over them. Don't you like to use barbarians? The savage settlements in the Tianduan Mountains could also use their wealth to buy tribes from them. The effectiveness of inner warriors.”
"Thank you...Thank you Lord Marquis for your advice."
"You can do these things without my guidance. Of the more than [-] soldiers and horses under my command, your men will take [-]%. If the property is divided, you will take [-]%."
"The Marquis is very kind and virtuous, the last general..."
"Okay, I don't like to hear your nonsense."
Marquis Jingnan raised his head, glanced at the night sky again, stood up, and Pixiu behind him slowly stood up. It was like a silent horn, and like a wave effect, the knights who were resting all around stood up one after another.
No shouting, no noise, no slogans,
After everyone got on their horses,
Marquis Jingnan waved his arm,
in an instant,
Thunderous horseshoes!
In fact, Marquis Jingnan does not have rich war experience. Throughout the ages, some generals need to learn lessons from wars and even failures before they can grow into generals. However, some people seem to be gifted by heaven.
The Jingnan Army had not fought any serious battles in the more than ten years they had been in Yinlang County, but the Marquis of Jingnan's first battle in his life was to use the road to open up Jin and win it for Dayan in one fell swoop. Half of the country's territory.
However, as the army galloped, one after another the guerrilla generals came to Jingnanhou's side to receive orders, and then led their men to leave the formation and go in other directions.
This made Zheng Fan understand that the Marquis of Jingnan seemed to be very familiar with the land in Jin's capital.
One by one, the men and horses were divided, ranging from two hundred to thousands. When they reached the outskirts of the capital, there were only three hundred horses left beside Zheng Fan and Jingnanhou.
Each troop had its own target to attack, and even Marquis Jingnan gave instructions on where to enter the capital and subsequent arrangements.
This is a completely different fighting style from the Zhenbei Army. When Li Fusheng went into battle, he rushed to the front. The other departments also cooperated to kill the enemy based on their tacit understanding in the past. However, Jingnan Hou here combined the tasks and Details are distributed to the extreme.
It seems that the land of Gyeonggi under the night cover is nothing more than a chessboard placed in front of Jingnan Hou, where he can make all his moves and finally slay the dragon silently.
According to Zheng Fan's aesthetics, this is the real art of war. It's not like the Zhenbei Army, which bullies you with its "strong soldiers and horses".
Of course, if the troops are strong and the horses are strong, coupled with the command and deployment of Jingnan Marquis, it is no wonder that the two major clans can be directly destroyed in the first battle of Jin.
To the end,
Marquis Jingnan looked at Zheng Fan,
ordered:
"Zheng Chengshou, after your unit wandered around here for an hour, it went straight to the Jin Palace!"
It was clear that he wanted to hand over these three hundred knights, including the two flag-carrying knights who had accompanied him all the way from Litian City.
Zheng Fan felt a little panicked.
If I had known this, why didn't I take Liang Cheng with me?
This feeling is like a novice driver who just got his license from the driving school and has to drive on the road as soon as he leaves the driving school.
So much so that Zheng Fan finally remembered to ask Jingnan Hou:
"Master Hou, what about you?"
Tian Wujing sat on Pi Xiu and reached out to grab the golden soft velvet on Pi Xiu's neck.
Road:
"I am now a charlatan."
