The devil is coming

Chapter 521 Father's Love Like a Mountain
The rising smoke belonging to the Yan army indicates that Yangshan stronghold has been broken.
The Yan army's scouts and sentries quickly informed all the ministries of the news. Since Yangshan had been broken, those who should disengage should disengage, and those who should withdraw their troops should withdraw.
The main forces retreated, but the small groups of troops originally used as peripheral warning during the war were not withdrawn. Instead, they were all released according to the pre-war arrangements to replenish the already advantageous forces south of Zhennanguan. The strength of the Sentinel Cavalry.
The first is to remove the role of the Yangshan stronghold and cut off the operational connections between the Chu people's military fortresses. The second is to completely bring the area before Zhennanguan into the control of the Yan people's war rhythm, so that the Chu people can work hard. The military forts and villages built here have become isolated islands.
If you raise a large army and come out, the Yan army will immediately move upon hearing the wind and fight you. If you come out with a small force, you may be able to come out, but you will not be able to go back.
The root cause of this phenomenon is actually not just the loss of a Yangshan stronghold, but the original pattern of Yan's attack on Chu's defenders. Since the Chu people are the defenders, they will inevitably lose the situation either actively or passively. Control.
Of course, there will definitely be a song played in the battle report;
Ping Yebo led the Xuehai cavalry to overwhelm Yangshan stronghold in one fell swoop, completely setting the tone for the war against Chu, laying a solid foundation for breaking through the Chu people's defensive iron formation, and accelerating the process of using troops against Chu;
In fact, it is quite targeted.
In the next two days, apart from the fact that the sentries and cavalry were more active than before, all the soldiers and horses were actually returning to the stronghold and making preparations.
King Jingnan did not hold another military meeting because of this battle, because the arrangements for this battle had been decided at the last military meeting, and there was no need to deliberately summon everyone at this time. Just to celebrate Mr. Hirano.
After all, this war has just begun.
Yes,
The curtain has indeed just begun.
Uncle Zheng, who returned to the camp, took a comfortable hot bath first.
The bathtub is placed behind the handsome tent. There is a door between the two tents. The front is the office area and the back is the living area.
This is the advantage of the battlefield being close to his hometown. In the past, Uncle Zheng had never been treated like this when he went out to fight.
I took a shower and had a good sleep.
After actually replenishing his energy, when he came out of the commander's tent again, what he saw was a lively scene.
After storming Yangshan Stronghold, the various troops were divided into several front armies and began to attack the city. Naturally, it was impossible for all the troops to attack the city. There had to be a few mobile groups left, but those were Tian Wujing. s arrangement.
What Uncle Zheng needs to conquer is the Dongshan Fort of the Chu people.
A quite large fort.
A few days ago, in order to weave this bag, all the Chu troops were stationed in it. However, in order to rush for reinforcements, these soldiers and horses were pulled out again, and they collided with Gongwang's troops several times, causing damage to both sides.
But after Gong Wang received the news that Yangshan stronghold had been breached, he did not stop it. Instead, he gathered his troops and blocked the possibility of the Chu army retreating to Dongshan Fort.
After all, he is a veteran on the battlefield and can be appreciated by Situ Lei. After the change of the world, he can still stand alone under the rule of the Yan people. There is no doubt about his own ability.
And in terms of his acting style, he is also very popular with Uncle Zheng.
You can go anywhere with that royal forbidden army, but you can never go back to Dongshan Fort, because in the next war, they are the ones who will attack Dongshan Fort.
In fact, this move is very destructive, because unless you eat this Chu army, otherwise, even if this Chu royal forbidden army cannot go to Dongshan Fort, it will go to other military fortresses, and in the end, it will be assigned to attack that one The Yan army in the military fortress will encounter great resistance.
However, this spirit of sacrificing everyone for a small family,
He won the uncle's heart deeply.
But now, in such a lively scene, assembled trebuchets, battering rams, arrow towers, siege crossbows and other ordnance began to be transported forward;
Look at Uncle Zheng,
Eyes are a little wet.
Xue Haijun, who had always been famous among the Yan army for manufacturing siege equipment, finally had the opportunity to use siege equipment to attack the city in a down-to-earth manner.
After waiting for a long time and looking forward to it, this day finally arrived.
As for the previous siege in the snowfield, can it be called an siege?
There is one thing that makes Uncle Zheng still strange. Logically speaking, San'er should be back.
Although there are people from Tianji Pavilion in his army who can replace Xue San, the voice of attacking Chu has been publicized for so long, and it is impossible for San'er in Liang State not to know about it.
However, before Uncle Zheng could spend more time "missing" San'er, who was nowhere to be found, the blind man came over and reported:
"My lord, Gong Wang and Gongsun Zhi are here."
It was not unusual for these two people to come to his place, because the Eastern Front Army only consisted of these three troops, and Tian Wujing had already pointed out that he was the talker of this front army. It was natural for them to come to pay their respects to the pier.
"Tell He Chunlai to prepare some delicious treats." After Uncle Zheng finished speaking, he smiled bitterly and said, "I have always been thinking about a good relationship. Hello, I am good, everyone. Let's be harmonious together. Yes, but Lao Tian always likes to put me on the fire to roast me, tsk, it’s uncomfortable.”
During the last military meeting, Tian Wujing aroused a wave of hatred from his colleagues.It happened that I had bowed to everyone outside the king's tent earlier. In comparison, it was not too clear that he was arrogant at the front and respectful at the back.
The blind man smiled and said, "Perhaps, from the perspective of King Jingnan, Your Majesty, you don't need to take the road of building relationships. For example, King Jingnan and King Zhenbei, who do they need to build relationships with?"
If one's own strength is strong enough and the status is high enough, below, it's all about relationships. "
"That's true, but I'm still not used to it. Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is more in line with my taste, haha."
"Ha ha."
"Okay, go and bring them in. I'll wait for them in the handsome tent."
Uncle Zheng turned around and went back.
The blind man found a personal guard and asked him to find He Chunlai to cook.
He wandered around peeling oranges and came to a tent. At this time, A Ming was leaning against the tent and drinking wine.
"Tell me, why is our Lord's fortune so good?"
A Ming was a little surprised and said: "Is this also called good luck? You didn't know that day, the master was riding a horse, and the trebuchet stones were aimed at him."
"Didn't he get beaten to death after all?"
"Ah."
"I mean, your lord may really have a kind of personality charm. You said, it's normal for a woman to have several godfathers. It's a matter of mutual consent. One wants money or power, and the other wants her body. .
But our master is a man, and it would be very difficult for a man to find a godfather who truly cares for you. "
"There is news from my hometown that Shatuo Queshi has woken up?"
The blind man shook his head and said, "It's not that godfather."
A Ming understood and said, "This is my godbrother."
The blind man ate the oranges and smiled,
Road:
"It's not a meaning yet."
immediately,
The blind man said again: "You have been inferior to King Zuoguli for a lifetime by giving it to King Jingnan for nothing. If King Jingnan finds out, you will really become a dead man."
"I said, what kind of emotion are you here to express?"
"My emotion is, I didn't think of it before, but now I think of it, the two neighbors just next door, one Gongwang and Gongsun Zhi, both came to pay homage to our Lord.
I didn't bother to think about it earlier. I just thought about it and found four words. "
A Ming raised his head and drank.
silence,
silence;
The blind man couldn't help but cough slightly.
A Ming put down his glass of wine, looked at the blind man with curiosity, and said eagerly:
"Tell me, what four words are they?"
The blind man smiled and said,
Road:
"Father as a mountain."
.........
Gong Wang and Gongsun Zhi walked into Uncle Zheng's handsome tent together.
Uncle Zheng was sitting there and just got up,
The two generals immediately knelt down:
"I will congratulate Uncle Uncle on his victory!"
"I will congratulate Uncle Uncle on his victory!"
The two generals are actually chief military officers, and they are on the same level as Uncle Zheng. Although Uncle Zheng carries his title, consort, and status as a general of the country, this is not actually valued highly among the military.
Moreover, soldiers, especially generals, are often tied to the morale and morale of their troops, so they are generally very straight-tempered and unwilling to bend the knee easily.
The fact that they are kneeling so simply now is because they had already thought about how to deal with the relationship between the three of them when they came here. This is to directly put the posture below. In name, Uncle Zheng is in charge of the two of them to fight together. , Uncle Zheng is only half a height taller than them, but in fact, they have completely placed Uncle Zheng at the top of their mountain.
Seeing this, Uncle Zheng did not rush forward to help them, but sat back again and said with a smile:
"Two generals, please rise."
"Uncle Xie!"
"Uncle Xie!"
Gong Wang and Gongsun Zhi stood up.
Uncle Zheng looked at them and said: "We are in the army. We in the army actually don't like the way the civil servants behave. If you kneel, I will rush up to help you. If you continue to kneel, I will return it." I have to support you, and finally, I have to kneel down with you for no reason, and the three of you kowtow to each other.
This is too troublesome, I'm just sitting here, so I'll just skip this step.
As for me, I am an honest person, straight-tempered, and I don’t like to beat around the bush no matter what I say or do.
Let's do this,
The two generals will hang out with me. From now on, we will get meritorious services together, be granted official titles together, and be promoted together. From now on, we will all be brothers. "
"Thank you uncle for your support!"
Gong Wang knelt down on one knee again and saluted.
After all, he was born in Jin Dynasty. Although he was shrewd and measured in his work, he could not avoid being free and easy.
On the other hand, Gongsun Zhi heard this and laughed heartily. He sat down directly on the right side of Uncle Zheng and said:
"Hahaha, uncle, I'm not polite. In the early years, my uncle brought wine to my father-in-law. My father-in-law was like a treasure and wouldn't let me take a sip. In fact, I have long thought about it. Uncle's wine is gone.
At the military meeting that day, the prince assigned me to my uncle's command to take orders. I was so happy that the alcohol bug came out, hahaha. "
"Hahaha."
Uncle Zheng smiled and pointed at Gongsun Zhi.
This guy actually doesn't look that big and rough, but his words and deeds actually bear the shadow of Li Bao. Furthermore, the biggest difference between him and Gong Wang is that he is from Yan.
"That wine is not that Brother Li is stingy and reluctant to give it to you, but it is used to treat wounds of the wounded to prevent ulcers. It is something that can save lives.
Well, I have prepared two large carts here. When you leave later, each person will bring one cart back. Your Majesty governs the army very strictly and alcohol is not allowed in the army. So today, when I heard that you two are coming, I did not prepare any wine. Everyone Just use tea instead of wine.
Also, after you bring back the wine, you have to take care of the gluttons in the barracks;
Let's do this. I will send two more military medical teams to each of you. In terms of casualty treatment, I am not exaggerating, but I am the best in the entire army. Let them do some training for your military doctors. of.
In addition, take some cattle and sheep away so that your brothers in the camp can beat them as sacrifices. "
This is a direct benefit.
People regard you as their big brother,
As the eldest brother, you have to show some respect, otherwise people are born with low bones and like to kowtow to you?
Of course, these can only be regarded as small favors. In the future, leading them to win battles and gain military merit on the battlefield is the right path.
The reason why King Jingnan was able to win the support of all military leaders even though he destroyed his whole family, was here.
"Uncle Xie!"
"Uncle Xie!"
Gong Wang also stood up and took his seat.
Uncle Zheng actually values ​​him more.
Gongsun Zhi felt that he was familiar with Uncle Zheng, so it was easier to get into the mood because he was from Yan.
But here with Uncle Zheng, Gongwang, who is from Jin, can develop better because he is from Jin.
It’s not that Uncle Zheng dreams of rebellion,
But if that day comes,
You said,
Is it easier to encourage Gong Wang to fight with you or to encourage Gongsun Zhi to fight with you?
"Brother Gong."
"Uncle."
"Let's also talk some bright words. Maybe, in others, there are differences between Yan and Jin, but this has never been the case here. People from Yan and Jin are always treated equally by Uncle Ben."
"Haha, uncle, please don't talk about this. Just because my uncle's men treat the Jin soldiers so well, many of my soldiers started talking and want to go to your uncle's place to get paid."
Uncle Zheng also smiled and said:
"Don't worry, there will be a day."
As soon as these words were spoken, Gong Wang and Gongsun Zhi's eyes immediately flashed.
When they came, they all knelt down in unison, which actually made their posture clear.
But who knew that this Hirano not only accepted it readily, but also led them to start jumping around like crazy.
They thought they were fast-paced, but who would have thought that Hirano Hirano was the real speedster.
listen,
Don't worry, there will be a day.
This means that sooner or later, their subordinates will share the same wages as his subordinates, Uncle Hirano.
Logically speaking, as a general in an army, he would often be disgusted or even repelled by such a loss of independence.
but,
It can only be said that King Jingnan may have laid a hidden clue when he assigned troops and horses to be stationed at the beginning.
Gong Wang is from the Jin Dynasty, and he has no chance of promotion. At most, he is in the title of nobility. He can have some thoughts, but he wants the court to let a person from the Jin Dynasty guard one side as a feudal official. Even Gong Wang himself has no idea. It feels very unrealistic.
But under his command, not only his own son, but also many of Paoze's nephews and nephews were with him. It can be said that at that time, half of the future of the generals of the Situ family depended on him. He would not do it for himself. You have to think about it and find a way out for them.
The easiest way out is to rebel and restore Jin...
But even Uncle Zheng doesn't dare to think about rebellion now, let alone him.
As for Gongsun Zhi, as Li Bao's son-in-law, he separated from Li Bao's son after Li Bao's death. Although the court deliberately split up Li Bao's tribe, Gongsun Zhi was behind this matter, but if he himself was very loyal If you don't want to, it's impossible to really divide it.
Therefore, his position was very embarrassing. Generals from the Zhenbei Army, such as Li Fusheng, did not want to see him at all, and the other generals did not regard him as one of their own.
It was comfortable to be separated and to be alone, but he couldn't enter other circles.
Therefore, both of them now have the need to hug each other.
Uncle Zheng's new talent not only shines brightly, but also has no external subordinates except his own troops. Naturally, he is the best choice at the moment and the one with the brightest potential for future development.
a party,
Everyone is very happy.
Officially speaking, the three major military leaders of the Eastern Front Army of Great Yan's attack on Chu have reached a consensus to work closely together to continue fighting for Great Yan and His Majesty the Emperor Yan's great achievements;
Speaking personally, it is a mountainous military faction with Uncle Zheng as the core. Today, it was officially established.
Even Uncle Zheng himself,
In the interplay of drinking tea instead of wine,
I can't help but feel a little dazed,
Things are going well,
It seems too natural, too natural, too smooth.
.........
It rained heavily for many days in the upper reaches of Wangjiang River.
In addition, it is the high water season in Wangjiang River, and for a while, the dams everywhere are quite turbulent.
Transporting grain and various baggage to the front line has already taken up a lot of manpower near Yingdu. Now, we still have to squeeze out manpower and material resources to manage the river.
Sun Youdao, the Grand Tutor of the Cheng Kingdom who had just come back from the army, was so busy that he felt haggard.
Fortunately, because Uncle Zheng introduced troops into the city last time, the officialdom of Yingdu was purged. Therefore, although the task was difficult, there were not many constraints when doing things.
"Here, here, here, and here, hurry up, hurry up!"
The corners of the fifth prince Ji Chengwen's mouth were blistered, which was enough to show how anxious he was during these days.
I originally thought that this visit to Yingdu was just a formality, but I didn't expect that there was a war ahead and the river construction work had to continue here.
There is obviously not enough manpower and material resources. Now, all the servants of the big families in Yingdu City are mobilized and busy on the river embankment.
The fifth prince just took a breath and drank some water when he saw a dwarf standing on the river embankment over there.
There is a horse beside the dwarf, and there is a woman sitting on the horse. The woman has a big face and an even bigger crotch. She is sitting on the horse, and the horse's butt actually looks a bit delicate.
Xue San stabbed the river embankment with a dagger.
scolded:
"Let me tell you, the materials for building the river embankment were purchased from Bing Xixi Shang, right?"
"May I ask Mr. Xue, which sect does Bing Xixi belong to?"
"Well, you don't need to know this."
Xue San turned around and faced the river on the other side. He put his fingers to his mouth and gnawed on his nails while muttering to himself;
"Hiss, it doesn't look like we are repairing the river."
