The devil is coming

405 she came
"Snapped!"
Zheng Fan threw the military order from Jingnan Marquis on the table.
This move was not intended to express any dissatisfaction. After all, no matter how much Uncle Zheng fluttered, he still wouldn't have any opinions on Lao Tian.
Even the Demon King himself admitted that as long as Lao Tian was around and as long as Lao Tian had no intention of rebelling, he could only continue to be Great Yan Zhongliang.
"There are two copies of the military order. One is a description of the military situation written in a Chinese military document, and the other is a military order written by the Marquis himself."
Zheng Fan reached out and knocked on the table.
He said to the demon kings sitting below:
"The military order is also very simple, just two words - sit down."
The blind man nodded when he heard the words. Obviously, this military order was what he expected.
Si Niang also breathed a sigh of relief, and the speed of knitting sweaters in her hands became much faster. There are so many people inside and outside Xueguan, and the original money and food reserves can only survive this winter smoothly. If there is another war at this time, then This winter will be difficult.
After all, not every battle can be profitable. Many times, some battles are really a waste, and it is difficult to find a place to replenish.
The Savage King sat in an inconspicuous position at the bottom, still wearing shackles and no seat, just sitting on the floor tiles.
"Everyone is sitting here anyway, so let's share our opinions."
Zheng Fan silently took out a cigarette, didn't light it, just put it on his fingertips to play with.
The blind man stood up and said:
"My lord, the beacon fires that are rising on the line between Zhennanguan and Nanwangcheng this time should not be a precursor to the Three Kingdoms War. The Ganren people are using their newly built precious cavalry troops to carry out sneak attacks. On our side, although Zhennanguan is It was the territory of the Chu people, but it was only the original Situ family general Xue Rang who acted as a front and promoted a descendant of the Situ family to become emperor, and the Chu people just stood behind.
On the Chu-Qian front, it was supposed to be a show-off and a tense situation, but there was no intention of officially fighting the Yan State with real swords and guns. "
At this time,
The Savage King saw that the blind man had finished speaking;
He immediately added:
"Uncle, Mr. Bei is right. I know the temperament of the Chu people best. To put it nicely, it's because they think they are the inheritance of the nobility. To put it lightly, it's just that they don't have the guts to risk their lives with others. His style, especially that of the regent of Chu, is that he likes to control everything at the palm of his hand. Unlike our Majesty Dayan, he doesn't like gambling, he likes stability.
The Chu people came over with a card this time, just to stir up the water in this pool, get us moving, and tire out our army. "
The Savage King needs to seize the short time to express himself as much as possible, because he does not have much time. Every time he shows his value, there is a high probability that he will get a slight improvement in his living conditions.
Now, he is trying to move to a cell on the ground as soon as possible.
Because since the Hirano Mansion was built and he moved into the underground prison of Hirano Mansion, he always had nightmares at night and felt chills all over his body from time to time. In short, that place revealed an evil nature, because the Savage King often He calls himself a cockroach and can live anywhere, but he really doesn't want to stay in this prison anymore. He is really afraid that he will die suddenly if he continues to live there.
Hearing this, Zheng Fan nodded and said:
"So this time, it's a tired strategy to defeat the two countries of Chu, haha."
With Zheng Fan's current status, he is actually able to overlook the overall situation from a slightly higher position.
During the previous expedition against the barbarians, the Eastern Expedition army suffered its first defeat. The eldest prince did have to bear part of the blame, but the fundamental reason was still the exhaustion caused by the Yan Kingdom's consecutive campaigns.
In the early wars, what kind of army did Yan use?
That was the Zhenbei Army and the Jingnan Army. The local army and the Forbidden Army were only responsible for playing a side role. Xu Pangpang gathered military leaders from all walks of life in Nanwang City to try their best to suppress the temptation of the border troops from the three towns of Qianguo. This was the first time. In the Three Kingdoms War, the local army made the greatest contribution.
When the Eastern Expeditionary Army went out for the first time, they chose to form the Left Army because the territory was too large and troops were required to garrison in various places. At the same time, the elites of the two Dayan forces themselves suffered a lot, so they had to use local armies and forbidden troops. To maintain and support the pace of the empire's conquests.
There are corpses of the Left Route Army in Wangjiang. The fundamental reason is that the quality of the Left Route Army is too far behind that of the Jingnan Army in Zhenbei.
Later, the Marquis of Jingnan took command and went on an expedition. The so-called "replacement of flowers and trees",
Seemingly ingenious and profound,
But in essence it is nothing more than "Tian Ji horse racing".
That is to say, the local army, the forbidden army, and the soldiers and horses of Chengguo. These "lower horses" disguised themselves as the Jingnan Army and the Zhenbei Army and marched to Yupan City. Then, with the redressed Zhenbei Army and the Jingnan Army as the main force, they defeated the barbarians in one fell swoop. The main force led by the king.
The problem, in fact, still exists. The recruitment and growth of soldiers are far unable to keep up with the consumption caused by successive wars. Jingnanhou's approach is to put it bluntly, he completely hides his shortcomings.
After defeating the main force of the barbarians, the powerful Jingnan Marquis and His Majesty the Emperor did not carry out the Northern Expedition to the Snowy Fields. This means that they themselves also knew how exhausted the Yan country had become. , It’s not that I don’t want to fight, it’s that I can’t fight anymore.
The clearest example is that in the past, if he led the [-] Zhenbei Army or the Jingnan Army, even if he faced tens of thousands of enemy cavalry, Uncle Zheng would still dare to talk and laugh. It's not a big problem to break out.
But now, Uncle Zheng is asked to randomly select three thousand snow customs cavalry. Even if it is his own cavalry, Uncle Zheng does not have the confidence to go out.
Excellent soldiers and generals are too precious a treasure. They can't be produced quickly in batches just by killing people.
In addition, the land of Jin was beaten to pieces and has not yet recovered, and the state of Yan has also fallen into a state of almost losing its treasury and people. This is another level of influence on the military level. Although it is not the same level, the impact is They are interoperable.
Uncle Zheng sighed helplessly and said, "Isn't this the trick that Lao Maozi used when he stationed troops in the north to deal with us?"
Just because I am taller than you and can afford to use up energy, I deliberately use it up against you.
The blind man said: "But this method has low cost and big benefits. It is really easy to use. This is how we dealt with the bully back then."
immediately,
Zheng Fan and the blind man looked at each other and smiled, and the other demon kings also nodded.
Only the Savage King sitting on the ground looked confused.
What a fool, what a bully?
What kind of attack is this?
After realizing that he couldn't keep up with the rhythm, the Savage King suddenly fell into a deep sense of crisis.
Zheng Fan continued: "So, Jingnan Marquis's military order can be regarded as seeing through the Chu people's plan."
If there is going to be a fuss over there, then let him make a fuss.
Yan's current advantage lies in its absolute confidence in field operations. Whether it is Xue Rang or the Chu army, as long as they dare to venture far out of Zhennanguan, the Yan army will be confident enough to defeat them.
After all, Marquis Jingnan himself is currently in charge of Fengxin City.
"A Cheng."
"Subordinates are here."
"I think the Chu people will most likely not send out a large army, but they will probably send out a small group of soldiers and horses to harass. When you go down later, make arrangements for Jin Shuke and let him lead two or three thousand cavalry to expand out. Our main force You don’t have to move, but you still have to do the necessary defense.”
"Yes, my subordinates know."
"Fourth mother."
"Subordinates are here."
"You know that times are tight now, and our supply and demand of money and food will ensure that we can survive the winter stably. But if you think about it again, see if you can raise some of the food surplus. There is a high probability that we will not start the war, but we have to be prepared."
According to the tradition of the Yan army, especially the Yan army currently stationed in Jin, when they are ordered to go on an expedition, they have to prepare a large portion of their own food and grass, but they cannot wait for transportation and supplies later.
The journey from Yanjing is too long, and the distant water cannot quench the thirst of the people nearby. Moreover, the beacon fire on the front line of Nanwang City can be said to be directed at Yanjing. The most important thing for the imperial court to guard against is the situation there.
As for Yingdu, the money and food for the military supplies for the second half of the year had been raised, and it was already a bit "scratched". After all, the Jin region had long been in a mess due to the ravages of war.
All in all, if there is going to be a war next, Dayan's various troops in Jin must be prepared to take care of themselves.
"Three children."
"Subordinates are here."
"On the premise of not affecting the autumn harvest work, we will manufacture more parts for siege equipment."
"Yes, my lord."
It is impossible to carry siege equipment with the army, but if some key parts are prepared in advance, they can be quickly produced after the local wood is harvested.
After assigning tasks one by one,
Zheng Fan waved his hand,
Road:
"It's all gone."
But at this moment, a soldier came from outside and bowed to report:
"Uncle, I just received a letter from the sentry cavalry, saying that the convoy of the Princess of Zhenbei Palace has approached our snow customs. There is a cavalry retinue of 800 people, and the Princess's convoy contains about 200 people."
The accompanying cavalry should have been sent by a nearby general, and the princess actually brought only two hundred people.
When the Savage King heard the news, this time, there was nothing unusual at all.
Si Niang glanced at Zheng Fan with a smile.
Obviously,
Siniang has long been looking forward to training Her Highness the Princess, which will give her a full sense of accomplishment.
Zheng Fan touched his forehead and said helplessly: "I thought that after the incident at Zhennanguan, the princess would stay in Yingdu, but I didn't expect that she would continue eastward and come to our place. Come."
The blind man said: "And it seems that after learning about the situation at Zhennang Pass, he speeded up and came here."
A Mingze said: "Ali and the sword maid haven't come back yet. If this is the case, they are probably in the princess's team."
Zheng Fan looked at Liang Cheng and said, "Send eight hundred cavalry to respond."
"Yes, my lord."
The limelight outside is very tight now. Although Zheng Fan is not interested in this princess, he doesn't want her to get into trouble near his territory, otherwise it will be too unfair to hold the shit basin.
Si Niang asked:
"My lord, if the princess comes, how should we entertain her?"
"Sister, you can take care of it yourself. There is no need to be too grand, and the welcome ceremony is not required. By the way, the princess's residence will be arranged to the south of the city."
Hirano's Mansion is in the north of the city.
"I know, my lord."
The meeting is over,
The Savage King was escorted to prison again.
only,
This time,
After the blind man left the small meeting hall, he followed the escorting soldiers to the entrance of the dungeon.
The Savage King was somewhat moved and said:
"Mr. Laobei is sending me off. How can I be so embarrassed?"
"It's okay, let's go in and have a chat."
The Savage King was escorted in, and after being thrown into the iron fence, at the blind man's signal, all the soldiers in charge of guarding the surroundings went out to avoid the situation. Only the Blind Man and the Savage King were left in the dungeon.
In fact, this is also a common mode of getting along between the two.
"What's the matter with Mr. Bei?"
"Ever since I learned that the county chief wants to come here to see the snow, I have been thinking about something."
"Mr. Bei, you can talk to me."
"I'm thinking about our Xueguan, besides my master, is there anything else that can attract the princess.
Moreover, even if it is the head of my family, to be honest, it is not something that the princess can win over if she wants. "
"so what?"
"So, I was wondering if there is a possibility that the purpose, or the main purpose, of the princess coming to Xueguan is not my family."
"If it's not our uncle, who else could it be?"
"What do you say?"
"It's impossible. Is it because of me?"
The Savage King pointed at himself and laughed at himself.
"Yeah, why can't it be you?"
"..." Savage King.
The blind man reached out and took out an orange that had shriveled and lost a lot of moisture from his pocket. He peeled it and said:
"Let's put it this way, a man used to have a crush on a woman, and he was in love with her to death. However, his status was too humble before, and the woman's status was extremely noble, so there was no possibility for the two of them.
But if that man suddenly succeeds and makes a career, what does he want to do most? "
He put a piece of orange meat into his mouth, chewed it and continued:
"You should have contacted the princess before and told her that in the distant snowfield, there is a man who has secretly admired you for so many years, and now, he has conquered most of the country and became the king of the snowfield. .
This is an obsession that is deeply rooted in people's hearts, and few people can control it. Moreover, most of the time, there is no need to control the emotion of returning home in rich clothes. "
"You are joking, Mr. Bei, how is this possible?"
"No, before you led your troops to break through Xue Customs, the Dayan Secret Intelligence Department had actually discovered your experience of serving in the auxiliary barracks in Beihou Mansion, Beifeng County Town.
Therefore, even if you hold back and do not send someone to deliver a letter or take the initiative to contact the princess, the princess should still remember the slave army who was whipped by you. "
"But, but, isn't there a Savage King who has already been escorted to Yanjing?"
“I don’t know that, but I think I’m not wrong.
Gou Moli, you are a talent. Your talent is not limited to the snowfield. In fact, no matter where you go, there are many people who are willing to use you. However, they have to prevent you from backlash.
And that woman,
She is very confident and willful,
She probably won't worry about your backlash.
even,
If she knows that there is a man like you who was so obsessed with her and is even so obsessed with her now, she should be very interested in taking you into her bag.
There is a word called psychological profiling, which you may not have heard of. Well, let’s put it this way, my specialty is actually understanding people’s hearts.
I think this is very consistent with the character of the princess. "
"Mr. Bei, since you are so sure, what if the real princess really wants me by name? After all, hiding me secretly is a serious crime."
The blind man smiled,
This smile matches his empty eyes,
It seemed very gloomy.
"She doesn't have the qualifications. This is Snow Customs, not the Zhenbei Palace of Beifeng County."
"But she is the daughter of King Zhenbei after all. Your Majesty will also take care of her."
The blind man said: "Hey, who is not a baby?"
"Huh?" The Savage King was a little confused.
"She has the King of Zhenbei behind her, and our uncle has the Marquis of Jingnan behind her. Moreover, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one. Here, you can give her face, or you can give her no face at all."
The Savage King was silent.
The blind man continued: "Some things, because you are locked up here, no one may tell you, Jingnan Marquis's son is now being raised in our Pingye uncle's house, and the head of my family is still the godfather of the young Marquis. "
"Young Master?"
The blind man pointed to the top of his head and said, "It should be right above your head, next door."
Next to the barbarian king's prison, there is a sand tower stone, and directly above the sand tower stone is the baby room of the little marquis.
In fact, the blind man of the Savage King has also noticed the sluggishness of the Savage King these days, so I have to sigh with emotion about the little Marquis's horoscope. It is really hard. He spent most of his time "playing on the grave" since he was a child, and he actually ate it. Mama Xiang slept very soundly.
"Mr. Bei, you didn't have to tell me this."
"No, I have to say, because I value you, including the Lord, I actually value you very much, because we all think you are of great value, so I will tell you in advance and let you make your own decision."
"What choice?"
"Then you can only think about it yourself."
With that said, the blind man clapped his hands and stood up, seemingly ready to leave.
The Savage King smiled and said:
"Should we send someone to seal the entrance here?"
If you seal the entrance, you can prevent people from hijacking the prison.
It is enough to leave enough openings for food, drink and ventilation.
The blind man shook his head and said:
"No, they say that the princess has many experts around her, but in fact, we don't mind if the princess sends people to rob the prison."
The blind man said, pretending to inadvertently reach out and touch the wall on the north side of the cell.
Touch and touch,
The smile on the blind man's face,
It becomes more and more brilliant,
It seemed like I thought of something extremely interesting.
In fact, when the blind man's mental power tried to penetrate this wall, he encountered great resistance. This is because the Shatuo Que Stone lying there formed its own aura, which could block the outside world's perception of this place.
Therefore, the Savage King only felt that living there was uncomfortable, uncomfortable, physically weak and dreamy. This was due to the influence of evil spirits and feng shui, but this was only the lowest level manifestation. In fact, although there was only a wall, he could not sense it. There was not even a sound to be heard from the people in the next door.
At this time,
Zheng Fan, who had just finished the discussion, came down with a bottle of wine.
Looking at the coffin placed in front of him.
Zheng Fan felt,
Fate is really a circle, and it can always give you a trancelike feeling of standing at the end but returning to the dot when you inadvertently do so.
In Zheng Fan’s memory,
The man stood at the gate of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, holding a wine jar and shouting:
"I am a barbarian in the desert!"
It seems like just yesterday.
On that day, Sha Tuoque, the former barbarian king of Zuoguli, died in the battle at the gate of Zhenbei Hou Mansion.
Just to give an explanation to Lord Zhenbeihou who wiped out the entire Shatuo tribe!
for a while,
Zheng Fan placed the wine bottle on the coffin lid, stretched out his hand, stroked the coffin lid, and spoke in a tone that sounded like he was whispering to a sleeping person,
Slowly said:
"She is coming."
