The devil is coming

Chapter 553 Sail
"We've finally arrived."
Si Niang rode on the horse, took off the water bag and took a sip.
Today, she is wearing a red cloak. Although it was hard work to rush here from the Snow Customs, there is still no sign of fatigue on her body after arriving.
Also, after working as a female accountant for so long, I finally got a chance to go out for a walk. It was a good time to stretch my muscles.
The sword master on one side still had his back straight, and his eyes were a little deep.
"Sir Sword Master, do you care about the people in the lower reaches of Wangjiang River?"
The sword master shook his head and said, "I don't care anymore."
Although it is said that a great chivalrous person serves the country and the people;
But now, he has no interest in those things.
Ultimately,
The country is vast and the court is high,
And the rivers and lakes,
Too low.
“I don’t say nonsense like that some people died to save more people and to end this war as soon as possible. I can only say that the world is unkind and treats all things as stupid dogs;
His Majesty the Emperor issued an edict.
The entire country attacked Chu,
On the road from Yandi to Shandong, there are more than a million civilians marching at this time!
After all,
you,
Enter my master,
Even Prince Jingnan,
In the face of this general trend, there is still nothing that can be stopped.
As for His Majesty the Emperor Yan, who was suffering from physical illness, he had to forcefully initiate some things that should have been postponed in order to plan for his life and death.
Everyone has their own difficulties, and everyone has their own abilities;
Fortunately,
At least the Lord and you,
The general trend of the world is still temporarily uncontrollable.
But at least it has the ability to ensure the safety of the soldiers and civilians at Naxue Customs.
In front of us,
If it can be seen and touched, and we can protect it, that's already good.
There is a saying that tells everyone to sweep the snow in front of their own door and not worry about the frost on other people's tiles.
This statement may sound sarcastic, but actually, there is some truth to it. "
"What about those who sacrifice their lives for the country? Aren't they all fools?" Sword Master asked.
Si Niang smiled,
Road:
"Is the country still there?"
The sword master was silent.
Although he is known as the Sword Master of Jin;
but,
The Jin State was not actually destroyed by the Yan people. A hundred years before the Yan people destroyed Jin, the Jin State actually existed in name only.
Meng Shou said in "History of Jin": Three families were divided into Jin.
Since then, the Situ family, the Helian family and the Wenren family have actually divided the Jin Kingdom into Zuo.
If it weren't for the ever-expanding Chu State in the south and the eagerly eyeing Yan State in the west, it would have been a long time before the three families became emperors.
The country is gone long ago. Who would you sacrifice your life for righteousness?
If the country has just been destroyed, then that's it. If you step on the embers and try your best, even if you can't save the world, even if you die, you can still be happy and contented.
But unfortunately, in the real Jin Kingdom, there was only a flower stand left there.
The Sword Master is a descendant of the Yu family, but he has no royal consciousness at all. The weakening of the Jin family is enough to see.
Furthermore, Yan belongs to one of the Xia Dynasties. The Marquis of Yan and the Marquis of Jin were both vassals of the Xia Dynasty. Yan replaced Jin, which was almost the same as the change of dynasty.
After all, they are still from the same clan.
If the barbarians now control the land of Sanjin,
That means that nothing is allowed and must be done to the end.
Even though the land of Sanjin was the homeland of barbarians thousands of years ago,
but,
The sword has two sides,
People have double standards.
Siniang took out a plum blossom from her pocket and threw it into her mouth.
Road:
"I'm not saying this to shirk anything. This matter was indeed done improperly. The people downstream who were swept away by the floods died unjustly, and the people who were displaced by the floods also suffered unjustly.
But in this world, injustices and people who have been wronged are gone.
The sky above our heads is about to change color, so we can only hold an umbrella in advance.
I know your lord, your lord would not want to do this even if you think about it. "
"Mr. Feng said so much just to comfort me?"
"Or else?"
"Actually, there is no need. The person holding the sword only believes in the three-foot sharp edge at hand, but does not believe in the day or the Tao.
Zheng Fan once said to me,
in the future,
As big as his territory is, he will protect it;
As many people as he has under his rule, so many will he protect;
Therefore, I am willing to help him. If in this world, only lucky people can live and work in peace and contentment, then I hope as much as possible that there can be more people like this.
As for the many truths, I don’t want to listen to them or think about them too much. To put it bluntly, no matter how much I think or say, it’s just to make myself feel more comfortable. "
"You are transparent." Siniang said.
There was something else she didn't say,
Ever since the sword master got together with his master,
sword,
It's becoming more and more tactful.
No, it's not tactful, but more worldly. Sophistication doesn't seem to be good, so as the blind often say, it's more down-to-earth.
Being called a saint, standing on a high platform feels cold, tired, heavy and heavy;
After coming down, the sword became more elegant.
front,
A majestic figure appeared,
To be precise, the stalwart is a mount. After all, Pixiu's physique is really not comparable to that of ordinary war horses.
“Look, the Lord is coming up to get you.”
The sword master shook his head,
Road:
"I picked you up."
For Uncle Zheng, it is necessary to accept both.
One is his main wife;
One is his neighbor;
Previously, during the fierce battle in eastern Jin Dynasty, I actually missed Siniang a little. Next, I had to enter Chu, and it would be inappropriate without Siniang by my side;
As for the Juggernaut,
Uncle Zheng has been thinking about him since the day he left the military camp and returned home.
Although the role of the Sword Master in battlefield conquests would not be very great, he could help Uncle Zheng avoid accidents and cunning tactics as much as possible.
If you lose, lose openly. Even if your family foundation fails, it is because you did not command properly and the foundation you saved will fail. At least you enjoy the process;
It would be so frustrating to die inexplicably.
After receiving the people and exchanging pleasantries, Uncle Zheng took them into their temporary residence in Yupan City.
At the door, stood a group of unfamiliar generals.
When Uncle Zheng came over riding Pixiu, the generals immediately knelt down and said:
"See Uncle Hirano, uncle Fukang!"
"See Uncle Hirano, uncle Fukang!"
Gou Moli introduced from the side:
"Uncle, this is the general of the navy."
Uncle Zheng nodded and said:
"Generals, please speak inside."
The mansion is very simple and somewhat dilapidated.
Fortunately, the hall is quite clean.
Uncle Zheng sat in the first seat, and a group of navy generals sat below.
Among these generals, the leader is called Qin Xin, who is the general of Yanwangjiang Navy, and he is also a miscellaneous general.
In comparison, Uncle Zheng's original General Shengle was one level higher than his opponent.
The bottom level of Dayan's military system has always been chaotic, but the higher you go, the clearer it becomes.
However, as the person in charge of Dayan's first Zhengerba Navy, he actually does not even have a general rank. It can indeed be seen that Dayan does not pay attention to the navy.
Even though the Yan army suffered a loss in front of the Chu navy in the first battle of Wangjiang;
Even if the troops are to be used against Qian or Chu in the future, the naval force will be indispensable;
But it is difficult to change the culture of being proud of cavalry since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
"I don't want to say too much nonsense. This time I enter Chu, it is related to the victory or defeat of the battle ahead against Chu. I have a heavy burden on me, and the burdens on you are definitely not light either.
Let's talk openly. You are selected to form the Navy. Don't think that you are assigned and excluded. The Navy will definitely become an indispensable force in our Great Yan Army in the future.
Ben Bo promised,
After this victory against Chu,
There are three general military ranks, and it's up to you to divide them. "
All the generals stood up and saluted:
"Thank you uncle for your support!"
"Thank you uncle for your support!"
"The fastest, when can we leave?" Uncle Zheng asked.
His soldiers and horses have gathered, and the Wangjiang River has breached its embankment. Next, the navy must move south as soon as possible, otherwise it will delay the war opportunity and even be noticed by the Chu people.
"Back to my uncle, the general has already sent people downriver to check the river course. We expect to be able to return tomorrow. If everything is in order, we can set off immediately."
"It's better to go sooner rather than later. Soldiers need to be quick. Yingdu will send supplies and everything they need immediately.
Ben Bo sets the tone,
At nightfall the next day, all the soldiers under my command boarded the ship and entered Chu! "
"The last will obey!"
……
After meeting with all the navy generals in the morning, Uncle Zheng could not stop from afternoon to night, meeting one group after another.
The first is Gongsun Zhi and Gong Wang.
They are about to enter Chu. As the commanders of the two groups under Uncle Zheng's command, they should come over and meet again.
The battlefield is the battlefield, now is the present.
Now that we have figured out things and attitudes clearly, we no longer want to argue with each other on the battlefield.
Uncle Zheng also had to pay attention to these two people.
Entering the far distance of Chu is bound to be very dangerous. If you are not careful, you will capsize.
To let people work hard with you, first of all, you have to show them the rewards after working hard.
Uncle Zheng unceremoniously began with "Prince Jingnan said";
Xueguan, Zhennanguan, Fengxincheng;
In a broad sense, Jindong refers to the original territory of the Situ family that was divided into two parts.
What the Yan people now call Jindong is the middle half of the Situ family, which is almost the area east of Wangjiang with Wangjiang as the dividing line.
In Uncle Zheng's description, the land in eastern Jin Dynasty will be his own from now on.
After the war,
Discuss merit and reward,
That means people, money, food, food, and real territory!
Although the land of Eastern Jin Dynasty has long been inaccessible due to war, and Xueguan is more lively, this is not a problem, because in Uncle Zheng's description, waiting for Zhennan Pass to be acquired is equivalent to controlling the Chu Kingdom southward. the portal;
In the future, the imperial court will continue to transfuse blood for this strategically important area. If you are short of something here, you can go directly to the Chu State to grab it. Don't live too carefree these days.
Gong Wang was born in the Jin Dynasty. Although he was the chief military officer and was in charge of an army, he was wary of the Yan people. He was eager to gain a foothold in the military system dominated by the Yan people through this battle, which was equivalent to …Assimilate yourself.
After Gongsun Zhi and Li Bao's son separated, he left Quhe City with his subordinates. He had no permanent territory. In the previous year, he was asked to fill in wherever there was rebellion in Jin and where assistance was needed for defense. It can be said that It’s the pain of having enough and no territory.
"In a word!"
Uncle Zheng played for a long time, and when he saw that the heat was almost done, he began to make a concluding speech:
"Uncle Ben has never been defeated since he was in the army. He robbed Princess Chu, and she is still at home waiting for him to go back after defeating Chu people so that he can help me warm the pit!
I killed two people from the Zhu Kingdom of Chu! "
Qu Tiannan committed suicide, but Uncle Zheng's words were barely acceptable. After all, he was the one who gave the order that day;
Qu Peiluo even believed that he was the enemy who killed his father.
This is,
There’s nothing left to grab, right?
Uncle Zheng walked down and put his hands on the shoulders of Gong Wang and Gongsun Zhi.
Word by word:
"After this battle, I will be granted the title of Marquis, and you two will be granted the title of Uncle!"
.........
I have to say that the art of language is really amazing. Veterans like Gong Wang and Gongsun Zhi, when they returned to the military camp from Uncle Zheng, their faces were all red and their excitement was visible to the naked eye.
They know they need to be calm, steady, and emotionless, but they are really fired up.
Of course, language is often rootless, it also likes to take advantage of others, and the fox pretends to be the tiger's power, because the essence of language still depends on who speaks it.
Uncle Zheng’s identity is displayed here,
The experience is displayed here. The record of running thousands of miles to attack the rear area is not without success!
King Jingnan valued Hirano Bo, and the two generals also learned further details from their sons.
Especially before Uncle Zheng sent them away,
The last thing to say is,
He said it very softly, very casually, yet very considerately:
"The two children, Gong Lin and Gongsun Zhen, have been placed in Yupan City. If they are buried in horse leather, there must be someone left to inherit the title."
There's nothing else to say,
Bet!
.........
"My uncle's words just now are admired by me."
Gou Moli always felt that the master in front of him was very similar to him in many ways.
For example, they are all good at talking.
I heard the word "talkative" from a blind man.
Uncle Zheng took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and said:
"They have no choice. They come here just to make themselves more relaxed and practical."
The military order is like a mountain!
Uncle Zheng had no idea how many times he had been ordered directly by King Jingnan, and how many times he had been forced to do it.
Gong Wang and Gongsun Zhi are actually the same.
Persuasion actually works best when they need to be persuaded.
"The next batch."
Uncle Zheng took out a mint candy and threw it into his mouth.
The next batch is the representatives of the five thousand elites transferred by Uncle Zheng.
Previously, in order to keep the war plan secret, Uncle Zheng did not dare to tell his subordinates. Now, with the expedition coming soon, he must seize the time to do ideological work.
Because what awaits him and this army immediately will be a long rocking of the cabin. After getting off the boat, he will find himself isolated in the Chu land by hundreds of thousands of Chu troops.
If it was the previous Snow Navy, there would be no need to take this step;
However, my own troops and horses have suffered a lot in the previous battles, and this time I have added more than 1 soldiers from other departments. If I don’t stabilize the morale of the army and sort it out, big problems will occur when we reach Chu. of.
When literati from the Qian Kingdom wrote poems about frontier fortresses, they always praised "loyalty" and "serving the country";
It has to be said that the person who holds the pen has the power to speak.
But as an earl who climbed up from the bottom, Uncle Zheng clearly knows what the real Qiu Ba people are thinking in their hearts.
It's military merit, it's a silver reward,
It is to spend the night in a red tent in an atmosphere, rather than the embarrassment and embarrassment of picking up your pants and leaving in a hurry.
"Loyal to the Emperor and Patriotic",
They do,
But this thing cannot be used as food. Before the battle, you can roar to boost the morale of the soldiers. This is okay, but if you want to keep it fresh for a long time, it is too easy to take it for granted.
Therefore, how to draw a pie is very particular.
Uncle Zheng told them the plan, and at the same time, he painted a more down-to-earth future for them.
After the victory over Chu,
If you are willing to join your snow customs and become your subordinate, you will open the door to convenience; if you still want to return to your original department, you are guaranteed to be promoted.
At the same time, Uncle Zheng took out a stack of details. The details were his own pension, which was the pension standard of Xue Customs.
Some of them were from bad backgrounds, and they were very happy to see this;
And for some people who came from the Zhenbei Army or the Jingnan Army, although their treatment was not as high as that of the Xue Haijun now, it was not much worse. However, the pensions from the imperial court came from the imperial court. This was done by Uncle Zheng in his own name. The extra is equal to double the happiness.
After these lieutenants return to the military camp, they will inform the soldiers under their command.
In the same way, Gongsun Zhi and Gong Wang from before would also help Uncle Zheng appease their subordinates.
As you command more and more troops, your focus will change from "loving the people like a son" for each soldier to controlling the generals.
This is what Uncle Zheng is doing now.
Give money, give promotion;
Uncle Zheng is very famous now, so the white note is easy to get.
In short, after one batch after another, it was dark.
"Ugh."
Uncle Zheng reached out and rubbed his Adam's apple, his throat was about to smoke.
"Uncle, you are tired. Look how good I am. I have already coaxed the soldiers of my first town into good health."
Gou Moli smiled and served the new tea.
Uncle Zheng took the teacup, removed the lid, blew on it, and said:
"After all, I still feel a little weak in my heart, otherwise there would be no need to say so many words."
"It is always right to be more prepared before a war."
Uncle Zheng nodded,
Road:
"It's been a few years and I've been struggling until now, and I can already feel that I'm getting closer and closer to what I want."
"Born" in Beifeng County, the first thing he came into contact with was the huge Zhenbei Hou Mansion.
Right now, as long as this battle is won, one's basic base will be completely established.
After being granted the title of Marquis and the title of Frontier, oneself will also have his own Marquis Mansion.
It is a separatist regime, it is a vassal town, it is loyal to the emperor, patriotic, and guarding the border for the country.
It will be all right,
I can finally breathe a sigh of relief, go see something, go shopping, and see the world from another perspective.
To be honest,
Uncle Zheng now really hopes that Emperor Yan can hold on a little longer and strive to create the miracle of life.
Don't really think that after the battle on your side is over and the reward is given, you will have to help Ji Laoliu fight for the throne.
Too tired, too compact,
I still want to enjoy life.
.........
Two nights later,
Groups of soldiers boarded the ship in an orderly manner,
The wind on the river is a bit strong;
Standing on the deck in golden armor, Uncle Zheng spread his arms.
whispered:
"Da Chu, I, Zheng Fan, am back again."
------
I recommended to my friend Yi Lu Ji Lu's new book "Zuo Dao Jiang Hu". He is a tentacle monster author who has a large amount of food.
Thanks to Mr. Dan sdf and classmate "Piao Guo" for becoming the new alliance leaders of "Demon Arrival"!
Thanks to Daohu Baiyinmeng.
There are still some problems with my work and rest, I haven't fully adjusted it, and my mental state is not good. I don't dare to write the following plot when I am not in the state, so I will update this today. I will try to write more tomorrow. Hold tight everyone!
In fact, the problem is that my way of writing really requires too much energy. After writing for a while, my state will fluctuate and I have to adjust my state.
