The devil is coming

Chapter 316 Pixiu
As night fell, the cold began to increase. Outside the big tent, soldiers had already set up pots and began to cook ginger soup. Every general who entered and came out of the big tent could get a bowl.
Marquis Jingnan refused Situ Yu's invitation to welcome the wind and wash the dust, and did not even enter Yingdu City. Instead, he directly entered a military stronghold outside the city.
immediately,
Military orders are issued,
All guerrilla generals and above in the Eastern Expedition army must come to their commander's tent to discuss matters.
In fact, many people knew beforehand that the arrival of Marquis Jingnan would definitely mark the rekindling of the war between the two sides, but not many people would have thought that it would ignite so quickly.
Rather than saying this was a military meeting, it was better to say that Marquis Jingnan was giving instructions purely. He didn't even have to wait for everyone to arrive. Instead, he would let someone know who was coming and wait outside for a while, and then someone would arrive. It will come out, and then you go in. Sometimes one general goes in alone, and sometimes three or four go in together and come out together.
Zheng Fan belongs to the group that has been waiting outside the big tent, along with Chen Yang.
The two people sat facing each other, both holding ginger soup in their hands and sipping it in small sips.
On a winter night, with the armor on your body, it is not too sour and refreshing, as if it is covered with "cold babies".
If the bones in the body are moving, it doesn't matter. The most terrifying thing is that it is a kind of torture to stay in one place without any place to keep out the cold.
But there is nothing that can be done about it. When Marquis Jingnan was summoned, senior generals rushed to take orders in time, for fear of delaying the slightest delay. What's the matter, I asked you to wait outside the tent for a while. You still want a warm house. Body?How about some barbecue for appetizers?
Do you want me to send you another maid to help warm the blanket?
They were all military chiefs with many soldiers and horses in their hands, but at this moment, they all shrank like ordinary Qiu Ba. Even when they reached out to take the ginger soup, they had a smile on their faces and said politely. "Thanks".
This is where the difference in prestige in the army lies. No matter which army you were in before, you have to be embarrassed in front of Nanhou.
Zheng Fan had already drank his third bowl of ginger soup and felt the taste of ginger juice between his teeth.
Finally, the eldest prince reached out and opened the tent curtain and walked out, saying to Chen Yang:
"The commander-in-chief invites you."
Chen Yang clasped his fists at the eldest prince, put down the bowl, stood up and walked into the handsome tent.
The eldest prince sat in Chen Yang's previous seat, reached for a bowl of ginger soup and said to Zheng Fan:
"When he comes out, you go in."
"Yes."
Yesterday's head coach of the Eastern Expedition has now become a Ge Shiha under the new coach's account, which means guard.
But you won't see much loneliness on the eldest prince's face. Instead, you can feel that his whole person is much more lively than before, and the gloomy aura has also dissipated.
Moreover, anyone who is not a fool knows that Jingnan Marquis put the eldest prince next to him not because he wanted to humiliate him, nor because he wanted to use the eldest prince to establish his authority, but because as an elder, when the elder did something wrong, When he came forward to end the matter, he specifically asked the junior to watch and teach him what to do about the matter.
This is the true behavior of elders, and what kind of elders are those who only point fingers at you at the New Year dinner table?
Inexplicable,
Zheng Fan was actually a little jealous in his heart.
You must know that in the past, this kind of treatment was basically something that only you could enjoy.
"General Zheng, is this the first time you and I have met seriously?" the eldest prince said, "When we were in Yanjing, my sixth brother often mentioned you to me, and those golden words you said."
"It made His Highness laugh."
The eldest prince didn't seem to have much thought about conversation and friendship, he just said:
"Before, I thought I didn't know how to fight, but at least I had figured out some skills. Now that I think about it, I'm really far behind."
Zheng Fan was keenly aware of the emotion that the eldest prince was feeling. It should be due to the military orders that had been issued in the commander's tent. The eldest prince had been coming in and out of the commander's tent and delivering messages. Those orders issued by Marquis Jingnan himself to the generals The order must not have been hidden from him, so he felt emotional.
According to Zheng Fan's previous understanding, the Eastern Expedition army was originally led by the eldest prince and followed a steady and steady route. Judging from the eldest prince's current feelings, it is estimated that Marquis Jingnan changed his strategy as soon as he arrived, and it was not a minor repair. Not a change, but a major change. It can even be said that it directly subverted the original combat thinking.
Sometimes, denying a person is not a serious matter. What is more serious is denying that person's thoughts and policies.
Zheng Fan didn't know how to comfort the eldest prince. In fact, he felt that the eldest prince did not need to be comforted.
An orderly soldier came from outside to report that the [-] Jingnan Army led by Jingnan Marquis also arrived. Previously, Jingnan Marquis led a group of troops to arrive first, and the army followed behind.
Hearing this, the eldest prince drank the ginger soup in the bowl without caring about scalding his mouth. He stood up, went in to report, and then came out quickly and sat back to his original position.
The guard wanted to hand Zheng Fan the fourth bowl of ginger, but Zheng Fan refused. He looked up at the sky and saw that the sky was already slightly white. He had been waiting outside all night.
Originally, Zheng Fan had thought of meeting Tian Wujing privately and chatting about how the little Marquis was doing at his place. He was so cute and smart. He could crawl in just a few months, and he actually had a tendency to start learning to speak when he got a little older. .
It can be said that both physical fitness and mental development are developing very quickly.
The effectiveness of Magic Pills in raising children is indeed outstanding. No other parent can find such an excellent preschool education.
But Marquis Jingnan didn't give himself this opportunity, maybe it was too late, because he had to make many decisions as soon as he came.
After a while, Chen Yang came out. He stretched, pointed at Zheng Fan and the eldest prince, and then said:
"I will go back to camp first."
Basically, all the generals who came out of the commander's tent returned to their headquarters without any delay. They should be preparing for something.
This is the style of Marquis Jingnan that Zheng Fan is familiar with. However, it can also be seen from this that although Marquis Jingnan has been closed in the Marquis Mansion, his contact with the outside world is obviously not isolated, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible to come. He directly dealt with the eldest prince and was able to issue military orders so quickly.
Of course, this is a matter of course. Even the people in the Yan Kingdom's court would be the ones who would be anxious if they learned that the Marquis of Jingnan was determined to be a homebody for half a year.
In today's world, although the Yan State is said to be powerful, Zheng Fan, who is in it, also knows that the Yan State is still in the stage of puffiness and fatness.
The Qian Kingdom is vigorously armed, but the Chu Kingdom seems to be in chaos but is actually dormant. The savages are arrogant and the barbarians are watching. Under this situation, a figure like Tian Wujing is equivalent to a country's strategic nuclear weapon, and it is not as good as the horse flying to Nanshan. , it’s far from the time to unload the mill and kill the donkey.
The eldest prince stood up,
"General Zheng, come in with me."
Zheng Fan nodded, stood up, patted his stiff knees, and then followed the eldest prince into the tent.
There is no brazier in the handsome tent.
No wonder all the generals were shivering with cold whether they were coming in or coming out.
The most important thing is that when you face Tian Wujing alone here, you can clearly feel that the temperature inside is lower than outside.
Because the eldest prince was there, Zheng Fan looked very serious and knelt down to salute:
"The last general, Zheng Fan, is waiting for the order from the Marquis!"
"Zheng Fan, how many troops did your headquarters bring this time?"
"If I return to the Marquis, it will be ten thousand."
"Is it worthy of a fight?"
Zheng Fan pursed his lips and answered directly:
"The morale, morale, ordnance, and horses are all of the best. The general believes that even if he is not as elite as the Jingnan Army Headquarters, it will not be much worse."
Previously, when the eldest prince was the coach, he had to hide it. Now that the Marquis is the coach, as a member of his own family, he must take the initiative to help out.
Zheng Fan's men are mainly Jin soldiers and knights of the Three Jin Dynasties. Their quality is not bad. In addition, he provides good food, drink, armor and horses. The blind man provides ideological education, and Liang Cheng is responsible for the training. He and the real Jingnan The difference between the army and the Northern Army may be just the accumulation of victories one after another.
When an army gets used to winning battles, its quality will change again.
The main problem for the knights of the Three Jin Dynasties was that they were beaten too hard by the two princes of the Yan Kingdom when they entered the Jin Dynasty, and their confidence was shattered.
"Okay, General Shengle comes forward and listens to the order!"
"The end is here!"
"I order all your troops to cross the river from the lower reaches the day after tomorrow. After marching eighty miles eastward, they will be active on the east bank of the river for ten days. Before crossing the river, the whole army is only allowed to carry three days of food and grass.
You don't want to behead the enemy, you can hold it in for as long as you can on the east bank. After ten days, every day more than one day will be counted as one day's merit.
But there is a prerequisite. If the army is completely lost, even if you, Zheng Fan, come back alive, I will punish you! "
Forehead………
What military order is this?
Let me lead the army to travel to Jiangdong?
You don’t tell me where to fight, and you don’t tell me who to kill?
However, Zheng Fan quickly understood that this was to allow him to harass the rear.
At present, Chengguo is divided into two parts. The part upstream of Wangjiang River all the way to Xueguan is the area of ​​the barbarians, and the downstream part to Zhennanguan, which was originally used by the Situ family to guard, is the territory of the Chu people.
Since he wants to lead his army across the river from the lower reaches, he must go to the rear of the Chu people's territory to harass them. All he has to do is cut off the Chu people's supply lines, and at the same time... supply food to the enemy.
Marquis Jingnan looked at the eldest prince again and said:
"Ji Wujiang."
"The crime will be there!"
The eldest prince knelt down.
"You join the Shengle Army and serve as a captain under General Shengle."
"The last will obey!"
Zheng Fan wanted to refuse. Why would his uncle take in this prince?
It's enough for Sheng Le's army to provide him with a waste, but he also needs to provide him with another uncle?
But looking at Marquis Jingnan's attitude, Zheng Fan really didn't dare to have the courage to smile and make jokes in front of Marquis Jingnan.
When we met again half a year later, Tian Wujing gave people a completely different feeling.
Zheng Fan still remembered that in the Tianduan Mountains, Tian Wujing asked him about women doing confinement. At that time, Zheng Fan clearly felt that Tian Wujing's body began to become more "human".
But now that they were meeting again, Zheng Fan found that that aura had disappeared from Marquis Jingnan.
for a while,
Marquis Jingnan leaned back slightly.
Road:
"Learn from General Shengle how to fight."
"Yes, Wujiang knows."
said,
The eldest prince turned around and knelt down on one knee to salute Zheng Fan:
"Wujiang will be under the command of General Shengle from now on and obey the general's orders!"
"Don't you think you are very steady and cautious in fighting? General Shengle is an expert in this field."
"..." Zheng Fan.
Another meaning of this sentence is, don't you think you are very capable? Follow Zheng Fan and see what the real King Gou is.
"First Prince, please get up quickly."
"General, there are only soldiers and generals in the army, and there are no princes." The eldest prince said directly, which also showed his attitude.
"Go down and pass on Li Fusheng."
"Yes."
"Yes."
Zheng Fan bowed and left. He wanted to stay a little longer and talk to Tian Wujing about the young marquis, but Tian Wujing just closed his eyes and had no intention of leaving him alone to talk.
Seeing this, Zheng Fan could only follow the eldest prince out of the handsome tent.
Zheng Fan walked in front, and the eldest prince followed behind.
"Your Highness, each general has his own separate order, right?"
"Yes, if the general wants to know, he can tell the general the deployment and tasks of other armies after returning to camp."
"Is it convenient?"
"The general will now obey General Zheng's orders."
"Tsk, no, Your Highness, there is no need for us to be so fussy. Can we be more casual? As for me, I will treat you as a captain under my command, and you, treat me as a general. We know some things well. That’s fine, let’s just be more natural between the two of us, okay?”
"The last will obey."
Zheng Fan reached out and patted the eldest prince on the shoulder.
"..." The eldest prince.
"I don't want to make a fool of myself. I am a small person. I have offended many people in the past. Please don't keep it in your mind, Your Highness."
"General Zheng was not afraid of offending me before, but now he is..."
"You used to be the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Expedition Army, and you wouldn't take it seriously if I offended you. Now that you're not, it's easy to hold grudges."
"General Zheng's words do seem to make sense. It's no wonder that Sixth Brother said that General Zheng always speaks golden words."
"I heard that His Highness the Sixth Prince is ill. Is the illness serious?"
"Wujiang is not very clear either."
"Ugh."
Zheng Fan sighed and shook his head.
turn back,
He took another look at the handsome tent behind him,
So does this one,
You are also a father who is a hands-off shopkeeper. Your son is yours, and you don’t even ask?
Bah, scumbag.
"General Zheng."
At this time, a Jingnan Military Academy Lieutenant came over.
Zheng Fan stopped, looked at him, and asked:
"What's the matter?"
"The headquarters of our Jingnan Army following the Marquis on this expedition has arrived."
"Well, brothers, you had a hard time on the road."
"This time, the army also brought a newly grown Pixiu. The Marquis specially ordered it to be brought with him. He said that he had promised to give you one as a reward for your merits.
I would like to ask General Zheng to go with the general to pick it up from the military stables now. As for how to raise and cultivate feelings... With His Highness here, the general will not say much. "
brave troops?give me?
Zheng Fan opened his mouth slightly,
A warm current suddenly emerged in my heart,
He immediately turned around and knelt down on one knee facing Shuai Zhang.
"Thank you, Lord Marquis, for your reward!"
