The devil is coming

Chapter 329 Arrangement
"Hiss...it hurts...it hurts..."
Zheng Fan was sitting on a chair, his armor and lining had been taken off, and Xue San was busy applying burn medicine to him with a homemade cotton swab.
There were blisters on his chest and the inside of his right arm. The problem was not serious. After all, Fan Li's armor was hot at the time, but the flame had been extinguished for some time.
at least,
Didn't cook myself.
But being "baked" like this, the sour and refreshing taste is really hard to describe.
Fan Li was like a child who had done something wrong. He stood aside and kept flapping his hands.
"My Lord, the problem is not bad. My medicine is very good and should not leave any scars. Don't worry, Lord."
Hearing this, Zheng Fan could only nod his head and said:
"Find me something looser."
"Yes, my lord."
Xue San went to look for clothes, while A Ming sat opposite, drinking blood. He deliberately did not change clothes. There was a hole in his chest, indicating that he had blocked the arrow from the leader before.
Fan Li wanted to find a bench to sit on, but he hesitated.
But Zheng Fan didn't blame him. Although this stupid guy almost cooked himself, he was still eager to be a savior after all, and he really carried him back.
On the battlefield, people just can't be too pretentious. A burn of this degree is much better than being hit by a knife or an arrow.
In fact, General Zheng knew one thing well, that is, when he was being "roasted", he who was supposed to be sleeping suddenly woke up and took over his body again.
Oh shit,
He is really a kind father and a filial son.
But General Zheng could only turn a blind eye to this. After all, as a father, you can't force your son to protect you and "anaesthetize" him by the side;
No father would protect his children from danger, but he did the exact opposite. He would not think of his son on weekdays, but would immediately call him if there was any danger.
But no matter what, last night's night attack was extremely successful.
Liang Cheng's control over details is truly superb.
It can be said that in terms of tactical details, the barbarian generals on the opposite side were tortured by Liang Cheng.
It also made Zheng Fan understand one thing, that is, there is no pure defense and offense in the absolute sense. It does not mean that if you defend the city, you have to huddle in the city and be beaten.
"My lord, the barbarian troops that came yesterday have withdrawn, no, they have been routed." Liang Cheng came in to report.
"Oh."
Zheng Fan nodded.
The results of last night's battle, including the burning of the camp and the storming of the camp, actually caused limited damage to the savages. The more damage was caused by the savages killing and trampling on each other after the camp was in chaos.
"In addition, the one my lord killed last night should have been the opponent's general, maybe a captain of ten thousand men."
First of all, that person's armor is much better than that of ordinary savages. Secondly, the savage soldiers and horses were withdrawn directly. This means that the soldiers and horses should have fallen into a leaderless state. If the opponent's general is still there, correctly The choice should be to choose a farther and safer place to camp again and maintain surveillance of the Snow Customs.
But now, all the savage sentries outside Snow Customs have been withdrawn, which means that the command system of that army has been paralyzed.
After hearing the news, Zheng Fan was stunned for a moment and said:
"Are you sure?"
"Not sure, but if we think he's dead, then he's dead."
"That makes sense."
Zheng Fan nodded. The battlefield is so big, stretching for hundreds of miles from Wangjiang to Xuehaiguan. I said here that I killed the savage general. Even if you, Marquis of Jingnan, are aware of everything, is it possible that you can still be here? Come over for a visit and confirm?
Besides, bragging and claiming credit are the norm in the military. As long as you win the battle and don't lie about victory after losing the battle, even if the matter is exposed in the future, the superiors will not pursue anything. After all, the battlefield is so chaotic.
Moreover, there were so many savage tribes, and the savage king also generously awarded official positions in order to win over many tribes. Although these ten thousand captains were not as common as the captains of the Yan Kingdom, they were certainly numerous.
In short, the current situation has indeed been solved temporarily. Many barbarian troops will come from Kendong in the future, and the number will definitely be several times greater than that of our own side. But at least for now, we have won a few days of breathing space. machine.
"My Lord, my subordinates have sent people outside to continue cutting down and burning the forest. At the same time, some of the fortifications outside the city must be repaired as much as possible."
"Well, leave this matter to Xue San."
Just use the trick once. Savages are not fools, and they cannot fall for your tricks over and over again. In war, you have to return to the extremely primitive way of close combat.
"Yes. By the way, also, although the main force of the savages is now in the Jin Kingdom, the main threat we face does come from the south, but it is not that there are no savages in the snowy fields to the north. My subordinates are worried..."
Sheng Le's army had less than 1 soldiers and horses guarding the city. Even including those male Jin slaves who had been issued weapons, the number was not actually wealthy.
Facing a one-sided offensive, that's okay. After all, the area of ​​the city wall is fixed, and everyone just needs to grind it out slowly. But if there are barbarians attacking from the north, Shengle's army will definitely feel very uncomfortable when being attacked from both sides.
A Ming, who was drinking blood next to him, raised his eyebrows slightly.
This is a strategic question, and A Cheng actually came to ask the Lord specifically.
This means that, to a certain extent, the Lord has replaced the blind man's original role in the team.
"My lord, the clothes are here. You can try them on."
Xue San sent clothes.
Zheng Fan put his clothes on and said at the same time:
"Call the eldest prince to come over."
"Yes."
Not long after, the eldest prince was summoned. After seeing Zheng Fan, he knelt down on one knee and saluted without hesitation:
"Finally, I will meet General Zheng!"
The eldest prince really has nothing to say in this regard.
Zheng Fan even felt that even if the eldest prince succeeded to the throne in the future, this great Yan would not be too bad.
It's a pity that I was bound to the Sixth Prince early, just like I was bound to Tian Wujing. You can't change the ship even if you want to.
"Your Highness, I have a military order for you."
Zheng Fan stopped pretending and stood up to help the eldest prince to do the show "no matter what".
The current situation seems to have just been solved, but the real crisis is actually not far away. How can you continue to be pretentious?
"Please tell me, General, Wujiang will fight to the death to complete it!"
Regarding Zheng Fan's ability to lead troops in battle,
The eldest prince began to admire him.
When a military man convinces you of your fighting skills, it will be easier to talk a lot.
At least, the eldest prince felt that he could not do that golden cicada escape from its shell and surprise the Snow Customs, because this kind of mastery of military skills and heat was amazing.
The eldest prince even felt a little regretful in his heart. If Zheng Fan had not been promoted by Xiaoliu at the beginning, but had gone under his own sect, wouldn't it be...
"Your Highness, I will give you [-] cavalry, led by Jin Shuke. He will be the deputy and you will be the leader. I order you two to go north to the Snow Customs to convey greetings from me, Dayan, to the Snowfield tribe."
The eldest prince immediately understood Zheng Fan's intention and said directly:
"The general wants me to go on a mission to Xueyuan as the prince?"
"Of course. Go tell the tribes in the Snow Plains that our Great Yan army has defeated their barbarian king's army and has now recaptured the Snow Pass. Now, the Great Yan soldiers and horses are busy annihilating the remaining soldiers in the Jin Kingdom. The remnants of the savages.
Order them to abide by themselves and not make mistakes, otherwise when the cleanup in Jin is completed, our Dayan cavalry will definitely come out of the snowy plains from the snow customs and wipe out their entire clan!
This is probably the meaning. The specific wording, how to scare them, how to appease them, how to be a good person or a bad person, His Highness can decide by himself.
I have only one request,
That means that the savages north of Xueguan are not allowed to attack us from the north in a short period of time. "
The eldest prince hesitated.
"Why, His Highness is afraid?"
"The general is not afraid of death, but he is worried that he will not be able to fulfill the general's trust. Now our army is stationed at Xuehaiguan. Although we defeated a group of savage troops last night, I think it will not take two or three days to defeat the savage army. Will rush here.
If the general is unable to complete his mission, Xuehaiguan will inevitably be attacked from both sides..."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. I believe that Your Majesty can handle this matter well. If you are bold, you can be bolder and more courageous.
Nowadays, the most loyal tribesmen and horses of the direct tribesmen who are most loyal to the Savage King have already followed the Savage King into the pass. Many of those on the snowy plains have joined later and even some are still waiting and watching.
Your Highness can go and promise the leaders of their tribes that I, the Emperor of Dayan, will grant them the title of Savage King. Your Majesty can give them the title of Savage King in the southeast, northwest, and middle. "
This is actually very arrogant.
And to say this to a prince, in any other country, General Zheng's head would have been chopped off and played as a ball.
But nowadays in the Yan Kingdom, Emperor Yan is an open-minded person. He doesn't care about illusions, but only cares about reality. He can even pretend that Zheng Fan abolished his third son as if it didn't happen. This is a little bit of transcendence. , that is also a matter of urgency, and it would be understandable even if Emperor Yan knew about it in the future.
Furthermore, the eldest prince, no matter whether he is pretending or not, has always been the image of a down-to-earth and sincere military prince. This person is more pragmatic.
"Make them king?"
Even the prince in the army was stunned by General Zheng's tone.
In the different surnames of Yan, the Marquis is the top, and the princes are crowned kings as usual, but only for one dynasty. If the prince has no great achievements, after the father dies and one of the brothers succeeds to the throne, according to the tradition of the Yan Kingdom, the princes who are crowned kings will themselves He submitted a letter for national affairs and requested that the prince be removed from the throne.
Because of this, Dayan's school captains were inundated, but Wang Jue, that is the real gold.
Therefore, Emperor Yan granted Situ Yu, son of Situ Lei, the title of Prince Cheng, which shocked everyone and thought that Emperor Yan was so generous.
Zheng Fan stretched out his hand,
But because of the burns on my body, I pulled a little and took a breath of cold air in pain.
The eldest prince hesitated for a moment.
Finally he lowered his head,
He leaned forward,
This made it easier for Zheng Fan to put his hand on his shoulder and pat him.
"Your Highness, what are you afraid of by granting them the title of king now? Just grant them the title. If you can scare those tribes that still have soldiers and horses, just don't go south to attack us.
When we eat up all the main barbarians in Jin,
The land of the Three Jins,
The whole snowfield,
Isn’t it our Dayan that has the final say?
They said that Dayan made them king, so we just don’t admit it.
If you really don’t accept it, OK.
Let their leader go to Beijing in person to complain to His Majesty, hehe. "
