The devil is coming

Chapter 532: Become a Marquis
heard voices outside,
Uncle Zheng immediately turned to look at the Sword Master.
It doesn't matter if King Jingnan can go straight in. When the soldiers outside see him, they won't dare to stop him unless Uncle Zheng gives an order in advance.
If you want to report something, according to King Jingnan’s temperament, the person who reports it may not be as fast as King Jingnan.
As expected, the voice of the informer came after the voice of King Jingnan:
"Uncle, Prince Jingnan is here, uh..."
Obviously, the informant discovered that King Jingnan, who had come in from outside earlier, actually appeared in front of him at this time.
However, Menzi couldn't detect it in advance, so how could the Sword Master not notice it in advance?
The sword master smiled and said:
"The blind man likes to play this on others, and I want to try it too."
"..." Zheng Fan.
After all,
Long Yuan suddenly let out a trembling sound in the sword master's hand. Although King Jingnan's voice had arrived early, he did not come in.
The sword master hesitated for a moment, shook his head, and left with his sword.
immediately,
King Jingnan walked into the room.
It would be better not to meet each other. The two people's positions and past entanglements are really unclear. It is better to put them aside and continue to live their lives in the way they like.
Of course, before Tian Wujing did not come in directly to face the Sword Master, it was not out of fear, but out of respect.
Seeing Tian Wujing appear in front of him, Uncle Zheng immediately knelt down and saluted, then his body collapsed and his whole body collapsed.
Tian Wujing walked straight to the chair next to him and sat down.
The support Uncle Zheng expected did not appear;
But fortunately, Uncle Zheng had long been used to it. After rolling sideways on the ground, he stood up silently and stood in front of King Jingnan.
Tian Wujing is not just a martial artist. Although the world knows that his physique as a third-grade peak martial artist is intimidating, he himself is also proficient in the art of Fangwai.
There is a "look" in the art of alchemy, which is actually very similar to the "look" in "looking, hearing, asking, and feeling" in traditional Chinese medicine. The alchemist needs this to detect the physical condition of the person being read, so that his "deduction" can be targeted.
Therefore, Tian Wujing could tell Uncle Zheng's complexion at a glance and knew that Uncle Zheng was actually fine.
At most, it is a "tired mind", which usually appears more in ladies. If you stay at home all day long and think about things, you will be hurting your body and mind. If your mind is too heavy and worried, you will easily get sick.
But if this disease happens to an old man or a general, no one would think it is a big problem. At least, compared with broken arms and legs or being poisoned by arrows, it is not even a disease.
"My lord."
Uncle Zheng took the initiative to pick up the teapot and prepared to pour water.
Tian Wujing stretched out his hand to stop him, took the teapot, poured himself a cup, and said to Zheng Fan:
"You have just eaten, don't drink tea yet."
"Yes, my lord."
Uncle Zheng also sat down opposite King Jingnan.
"Dongshan Fort was taken down very quickly."
"Your Majesty, you still have good arrangements."
"Speak normally."
"Yes, my lord."
"I didn't expect that Shi Yuantang would play such a trick, but I guess Shi Yuantang didn't expect that he would be pushed to death by you like this."
Uncle Zheng nodded and said:
"Yes, so although my subordinates won this time and took Dongshan Fort, the casualties among their troops were extremely heavy."
“If Dongshan Fort was defeated so early, the situation was completely opened up, and there was a royal imperial army stationed at Dongshan Fort, but it still failed to change the ending of the city being destroyed and annihilated.
The determination of the lower ranks of the Chu army will be shaken, and the generals in the Chu army will also be shaken by this tactic of holding on and wearing away. When the rest of the army of Dayan sweeps away the remaining military fortresses, what they will face The resistance can be much smaller. "
"Yes, it's just that my subordinates suffered too many casualties this time. Alas, they are all my brothers who have followed me in all my wars for so many years."
Tian Wujing shook his head, lowered his head, and took a sip of tea.
Uncle Zheng could tell that King Jingnan was in a good mood now.
This is very good, and it is probably the same as the feeling I had when I saw the golden skill before.
"You captured Yangshan Stronghold, you also captured Dongshan Fort, and you also beheaded one of the Zhu Kingdoms of Chu. The first and second achievements in the war against Chu so far have been taken by you alone.
Also, almost.
Next, you can renovate here. "
Uncle Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.
what he wants,
That's it!
In the previous battle at Dongshan Fort, half of the Xuehaiguan troops he brought out this time suffered casualties. If the fight continues, there won't be many soldiers and horses of the family brought out this time.
Fortunately, this is like doing business. You spent money in the early stage to establish the market, and now you are finally seeing returns.
"Next, I will confer three powerful generals under me, who will control the central, eastern and western aspects of our army respectively.
You become the general of the Eastern Front. "
In fact, Uncle Zheng has a "General of Chengguo" hanging on his body, but that is just an honorary title, linked to his salary, and the general here is a serious official in the army, ranking among the generals. Although it is of a temporary nature, when the war is over and the rewards are awarded, the starting point will be different and the distinction will be revealed.
Of course, even without this "General of the East Route Army", Gongsun Zhi and Gong Wang would have fallen into Uncle Zheng's hands long ago. This is actually the same as what Uncle Zheng said to Jin Shu Ke before: I will remember your contribution. heart;
It makes no difference.
"The main force of your unit can be stationed in Dongshan Fort. As for you, you can accompany me to protect the king and go with me to see other battles to attack the city and the stronghold. You can also be a staff officer."
"Yes, my lord."
Uncle Zheng knew in his heart that a new round of teaching courses was about to begin again.
"Send another capable general under your command to the rear to maintain food routes and organize the people."
If you are an uninformed person, you may think that this is asking Uncle Zheng to allocate part of his own troops to provide logistics support. Generally speaking, only unusable troops and horses will be made this arrangement.
But who is Uncle Zheng?
He immediately heard the implication.
King Jingnan had previously told him to replenish his troops, and then he also said that he would send a group of soldiers and horses to escort the civilian team over. Wouldn't this mean that he would be directly in line to select auxiliary troops before the entire army attacking Chu?
Hundreds of thousands of troops, so many general soldiers from all walks of life, all had to stand in the back and choose what was left.
And there is a twilight zone here. When it comes to recruiting soldiers, who limits how many you can choose?
Will it end when your own establishment is full?
but………
Although Uncle Zheng has designated a staff for each town under his command, in fact, no one above has ever told Uncle Zheng how many staff you have.
Theoretically, there is a line, and this line lies in the amount of grain, grass, and weapons that the court gives you every year. No matter how much you want to raise, you still have to worry about the amount of grain stored at home, right?
But Uncle Zheng's Xueguan is not as poor as the outside world imagines. The King of Jingnan in Yingdu has always opened the door to his military supplies. There are also Xiaoliuzi in the court who are supporting him. Next door, there are savages in the snowfield who contribute manpower and material resources to themselves from time to time...
Therefore, Uncle Zheng had always followed the route of elite soldiers before, and did not think about exploding troops, because there are only so many suitable soldiers in a certain area at a certain time. Exposing too many peasant soldiers would result in a rabble. Let’s not talk about whether it has any practical significance. Uncle Zheng's own aesthetics and those of the demon kings cannot be satisfied.
But on the basis of the national war, those who were dispatched from the rear to the front, not counting farmers, auxiliary soldiers and the like, could never be crooked melons and jujubes. They were basically the strongest men from the Yan and Jin Dynasties.
Some, even before departure, were like the people of Guxian County. In fact, they had already had mountain camps, which were organized and organized similar to militia camps. There were even villages that practiced martial arts or had a tradition of disciples joining the army for generations. , as long as such soldiers can be recruited and handed over to Liang Cheng for a little polishing, they will immediately form combat effectiveness. Then based on the original veterans, let the blind man deepen their ideological and political education. In less than half a year, the combat effectiveness and loyalty will be reduced. It can be brought up.
after all,
Excluding King Jingnan,
Uncle Zheng can be regarded as one of the most dazzling generals in the Yan army today. Coupled with this performance, the word "one" can also be removed.
Uncle Hirano, this brand has great appeal to those auxiliary soldiers who are ambitious and capable!
This is just like later generations applying for college. Most candidates and parents do not have the ability to analyze in detail which major of which school is strong, what research results the professors of the department have made and how many papers they have published. They only know I care that I have heard of the name of this university. Damn it, it’s awesome!
If a general under Uncle Zheng led a group of soldiers and horses to recruit troops under the banner of Uncle Pingye,
to be frank,
How many of the common people who were mobilized from Yan and Jin, and most of the frontline military officers, could recognize and understand them?But the title Hirano Bo is known to everyone.
Even if you didn't care about the military in the past, you would still hear about Hirano stealing the princess and coming back to be his wife, right?
This is prestige, this is popularity, this is fame!
To exaggerate a little more,
After two consecutive hard battles, he defeated them both and made great achievements. Shi Yuantang's head was hanging there. Next, he was stuck among the civilians, eating first, or even eating alone. Who among the generals at the front had the nerve to talk?
No matter how dissatisfied you are, you don't dare to put it on the table. After all, military achievements are there. If you don't accept it, you can only hold it in.
Unless King Jingnan personally issued a royal order to reprimand Uncle Zheng for going too far, but...it was King Jingnan himself who said these words and hinted at this.
This time "hands up and down",
Not only did he make up for the original number of troops, he even dared to directly ask Xue Guan's subordinates to double the number of troops!
Uncle Zheng dared to expand the Xuehai cavalry army to [-], which was originally about [-] before the war began!
If Zhennanguan is defeated and our territory can be expanded again, then [-]!
An army of [-]. If you really have [-] cavalry in hand, then you will really be on the stage, both in name and in reality.
Uncle Zheng's heart was beating "thumping" and "thumping" at this time.
Lao Tian almost made it clear that he was letting himself replenish his strength, no, he was taking the opportunity to expand his strength.
Gong Wang and Gongsun Zhi are just appetizers, you can eat the rest by yourself.
"The craftsmen in your team and some skilled civilians must first be loaned out to other generals for use. After all, when it comes to siege equipment, you are the number one here.
You can return it to you after use. "
"This is natural, this is natural. They are all soldiers and horses of Dayan, and they are all brothers. There is no need to say anything about not paying back, it will hurt our feelings."
Compared with the watermelons he was about to harvest, Uncle Zheng didn't feel bad about throwing out a few sesame seeds.
After all, only the craftsmen were handed over, but the people from Tianji Pavilion and the group of core talents left behind by San'er's original training would never be given away.
"You don't have to participate in the next war for the time being. Firstly, with your followers by my side, I can teach you how to handle government affairs in the army. Secondly, you can quickly let your soldiers and horses recuperate. Recover.”
"The general will not have to participate in the next war?"
Uncle Zheng suddenly felt that something was unreal.
He just thought that he could lie down for two months to rest and recuperate, but King Jingnan seemed to be planning to give himself a long vacation.
"For the time being, this is the arrangement. I have no intention of letting you participate in the next war, including the final attack on Zhennanguan."
You don’t need me to fight at Zhennanguan?
Uncle Zheng was not happy,
On the contrary, I felt a little worried.
It goes without saying that King Jingnan is kind to him, but King Jingnan is not the kind of person who only thinks about giving himself small benefits. He has never hesitated or been soft-hearted when he orders him.
The most important reason why he was favored by King Jingnan, excluding some other reasons, was that as long as he could eat enough and let himself go out to do things, he would never let King Jingnan down.
So, this time I was so generous to myself, so open the way, so kind, and finally...
King Jingnan looked at Zheng Fan’s expression;
In fact, just as Zheng Fan was familiar with him and often imitated and analyzed his behavior and purpose in chats with the demon kings;
King Jingnan actually knows Zheng Fan very well.
"This king will not harm you."
"Your Majesty, look at what you said, I never thought that you would harm me."
"Take a good rest of your troops and horses. My king, it will indeed be of great use. However, it is still early and this battle against Chu will not end in a short time."
"Yes, my lord."
Tian Wujing stood up and walked to the door.
Uncle Zheng followed and the two stood at the door together.
The sun was shining brightly today. Uncle Zheng, who had just woken up from a coma, felt a little dizzy when the sun shone like this.
"Although you won in the end, even though winning is the hardest truth, you probably don't know what happened to Shi Yuantang in Dongshan Fort."
"Yes, Your Majesty, the general didn't really know before. In fact, when the Chu army came out of the city, the general was a little confused."
"So, I still think that next time, you should choose to temporarily withdraw your troops, and you should also pay attention to the ease of doing military affairs.
This king is still here,
Therefore,
You don't need to go all out just yet. "
The green hills are still there,
There is still firewood left.
Uncle Zheng nodded. When he heard this, he felt that he was not warm or moved. That would be a lie. He immediately said:
"I know. In fact, at that time, I was just over the top, and I felt a little unwilling."
"Haha, if outsiders know that my uncle Hirano, who has great military exploits in Dayan, is actually a man who can act on his own initiative, many people's jaws may be shocked."
"Isn't it because you, the prince, have given me the full answer? I know that no matter how badly I lose or fall miserably, as long as you are here, the prince, I will one day make a comeback."
"No, that's not what you think."
"Your Majesty..."
"You don't care." Tian Wujing turned his face and stared at Zheng Fan with a pair of deep eyes. "Because you don't care, it doesn't matter."
"Your Majesty, I, I care very much..."
"There is indeed such a kind of person in the world of martial arts and among the people. They are used to searching for things on weekdays, but when something really happens, they are willing to spend all their money and wait for a start.
You are this kind of person. You seem to care about your wealth more than anyone else, but when you want to use it to satisfy yourself, you are more decisive than anyone else.
Perhaps, this is what Shi Yuantang didn't take into account, so if he lost, he also died.
As a general, it is not bad to have this state of mind, and there is a lot less restraint. "
"Your Majesty..."
at this time,
Gou Moli learned the news about Uncle Zheng's awakening from Jin Shuke, who had just come out, and rushed over to say hello.
"Uncle, I am my subordinate..."
then,
Gou Moli saw the figure wearing gilt armor standing next to Uncle Zheng.
"Pfft!"
Gou Moli immediately knelt down. He really didn't know that King Jingnan was actually here.
Because King Jingnan came very quickly, and Gou Moli was too quick to come in through the back door, so he could not meet the front door.
King Jingnan's eyes fell on Gou Moli.
Gou Moli immediately felt a mountain-like pressure falling on him.
At the beginning, he had more than [-] barbarian knights under his command. With this confidence, he dared to play against Tian Wujing.
Now, Gou Moli has just started from scratch and is on the rise, but after all, he is no longer the same person he was before.
Fortunately, King Jingnan didn't seem to care too much about him, even if he knew it, because Zheng Fan told him that the Savage King was in Zheng Fan's team.
Tian Wujing raised his head slightly, looked at the sky, and said:
"You can cultivate for a few more days and then come to the king's tent to find me."
"Yes, my lord."
"Do you need me, the king, to go to Gongsun Zhihe Gong Wang's place and have a look?"
"That's... no need, Your Majesty." Uncle Zheng replied.
Tian Wujing raised his hand,
"I didn't ask you."
immediately,
Tian Wujing pointed at Gou Moli who was kneeling below.
"This king is asking about him."
Gou Moli immediately raised his head and said:
"When I return to the prince, our uncle has already made arrangements with General Gong Wang and General Gongsun Zhi."
Tian Wujing nodded when he heard this.
Then,
Tian Wujing suddenly asked;
"Zheng Fan, are you, the Earl of Pingye, hereditary?"
Zheng Fan immediately replied:
"As far as the prince is concerned, no."
It is not a hereditary title. When it is passed down to a son, it will be downgraded. When it is passed down to a grandson, it will be downgraded again. If you are unlucky, you may be downgraded by more than one level at a time.
Uncle Zheng immediately said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, my subordinates will work hard to make more meritorious deeds and turn it into a hereditary one."
Tian Wujing shook his head.
Zheng Fan was a little confused.
Tian Wujing said:
"A count, even if he is hereditary, is meaningless."
"Forehead………"
Tian Wujing turned around, looked at Zheng Fan, and said:
"Zheng Fan."
"The end is here."
"After the attack on Chu, let's make him a marquis."
