The devil is coming

Chapter 763 Accident!
The army marched out at a relatively fast pace. The peripheral servant armies were able to ascertain most of the situation in advance. In addition, they were savages, so they had no problem galloping on the snowy fields.
The person responsible for the safety of Zheng Fan's army tent has always been his own.
This is actually a very self-castrating combat arrangement. It seems to be stable, but this stability is internal, and it will appear relatively fragile when resisting external impacts.
In short, the ability to fight tough battles is worrying;
But this time it is not a tough battle. At least for now, a savage tribe alliance will not appear in the snowy field overnight and then without hesitation mobilize the young men of the tribe to start a war against Lord Zheng.
On the contrary, the army required nearby tribes to provide it for its march.
No tribe is willing to contribute the precious grain and grass stored by their tribe after winter, but no matter how powerful the Pingxihou Mansion is, no one dares to disobey.
Back then, Lord Zheng followed Lao Tian and almost swept through the western part of the snowy plain with [-] cavalry. After that, the Savage King once launched such a huge battle but was suffocated by the Yan people in Jin. Later, before attacking Chu , Zheng Houye and Li Fusheng even played a trick of trapping the barbarians in the city to practice siege. As for the destruction of the Naiman tribe, it was just a small episode.
There are too many lessons learned from the past, and the leaders of each tribe know that those who dare to disobey will mean the annihilation of the tribe.
The current strength of the Pingxi Hou Mansion is not enough to fight against the entire snowy field. Even if the troops are strong and the horses are strong, their numerical advantage is here. It's just that the snow field is scattered, and the Hou Mansion can really destroy whoever it wants;
The most ridiculous thing is that the leader of the tribe knows better. When the Pingxihou Mansion's blade is placed on his neck, if you shout hard, you can indeed call many nearby tribes, but they don't want to share the same enemy with you, but Waiting for you to be destroyed and then divide up your remaining population and the pasture you own.
The price of the Savage King's failure was the dissipation of the essence of a generation of visionary and ambitious Savages.
However, the army does not collect grain and grass completely free of charge, but will give rewards. Those who provide tribal warriors and those who provide grain and grass will get corresponding discounts and priorities when doing business at Snow Customs in the coming year.
Religious means are a long-term solution, while economic restraint is the main means now. The complete pacification of the snowy plains comes after Qianchu.
As the army moved northward, the climate and natural conditions began to become more and more severe, and the density of the surrounding tribes became less and less. At the same time, the degree of radiation from the Xuehaiguan Pingxihou Mansion became weaker and weaker.
Finally, a tribe appeared that dared to refuse the army's request for food, and even killed two Hailan tribe warriors who went to collect food.
This made the Marquis of Pingxi extremely happy, and he immediately ordered the army to temporarily station. At the same time, Liang Cheng led the servants to join the army to conquer the unsightly tribe.
……
"Father, that tribe rejected us, why is dad still so happy?"
A fire was lit in the handsome tent to drive away the chill outside.
Sitting next to Zheng Fan every day, he asked his questions seriously.
This is what Zheng Fan allowed. They can march all the way, regardless of astronomy and geography, regardless of local conditions and customs, and they can ask whatever they want.
At the same time, Liu Dahu also listened together.
The sword master was quite happy with this. His stepson's ambition was to be in the army, and since Tian Wujing went to the West, in terms of the most capable warrior in the entire Yan Dynasty, there was probably no one who could surpass the Marquis in front of him.
Marching all the way and popularizing science education all the way, Juggernaut felt that this was very meaningful to Liu Dahu.
He himself didn't dare to teach anyway, and he had tried it before, with disastrous results.
"The army has been marching for a long time. The central army you see is fine because it is my own troops, but in fact, I have become anxious in my heart;
This is even more true for the barbarian soldiers and horses on the periphery. They have not been cleaned up and their endurance is actually even worse.
Marching is boring and hard, and we are about to enter the Far North. We must take advantage of this opportunity to make the army active, let the horses run, and let the knives swing.
Take this opportunity to boost your morale. "
Tiantian nodded, and Liu Dahu on the side was also thoughtful.
At this time, Zheng Fan reached out and grabbed Tiantian's hand, touched the bandaged area on the back of his hand, and sighed helplessly.
"Father, it's okay. It doesn't hurt."
The back of the child's hand was burnt. In order to serve himself some broth, he fell in the snow. The magic pill took action and only burned the back of his hand a little.
However, Zheng Fan did not ask his children not to do such things again. He watched Liu Dahu busy every day, taking care of Zheng Fan's daily life as a personal soldier. He also regarded himself as a "personal soldier", so naturally he had to help. Do together.
Regarding this, the sword master was not jealous. It was reasonable to apprentice and serve his master.
At this time, Siniang came in with food and said;
"Come on, let's eat."
Liu Dahu stood up and stood in the corner of the handsome tent;
Among the wolves, when the wolf king is eating, it is the time when he is most careless. The wolves around him will help him keep an eye on his surroundings, and the same will be true for a qualified personal guard.
Tiantian also got up and stood there with Liu Dahu. Obviously, this was not the first time.
Liu Dahu carried a knife on his waist. The young man could already use a real knife. Tiantian was still young, so Zheng Fan gave him a dagger, which he could also carry on his waist.
This dagger was naturally not made by Xue San. It was poisonous and I wouldn't dare let it be played with by children.
The sword master can sit down and eat together. He is not considered a member of the army, but is just the personal bodyguard of Lord Zheng.
The meal is very simple, and in the middle of winter, nothing can make people feel more comfortable than a pot of hot pot and vegetables.
Lord Zheng asked while eating:
"Is there any news from San'er?"
"no."
"Where's A Cheng?"
"No, but it should go smoothly. A Ming has taken Cahir to the front line."
The two vampires were obviously crazy about human blood.
Here, Zheng Fan and others had finished eating, and Liu Dahu and Tiancai came over to eat.
Although it was the remaining bottom of the pot, the adults deliberately left some extra meat in it.
Lord Zheng stood up and walked out of the handsome tent. The cold wind blew outside, and people felt much refreshed.
Marquis Zheng found a seat at the entrance of the tent and sat down. He was getting closer and closer to that place. In his heart, he actually had nothing to fear or worry about. After all, he did not come alone;
On the contrary, I am still a little curious about what is waiting for me ahead.
Lord Zheng reached out, took out the big iron box, and took out a cigarette from it.
At this time, a burning wooden stick was moved to him, which was held by Tiantian.
As his little personal guard, Tiantian is also responsible for lighting cigarettes every day.
"Have you eaten yet?" Zheng Fan asked.
"My child is well fed."
"Don't eat so fast next time. Gobbling it down is not good for your stomach. You are still young and growing. Dad is here to bring you out to see the world, not to ruin your body."
"Yes, the child understands."
"You have to protect this body. If you become a tuberculosis ghost, you won't be able to lead the army like dad."
"OK."
In fact, what Zheng Fan said is bullshit. This baby's body is strong and strong. Marquis Zheng's face was blown green by the cold wind during the march, and he even put some wax on it to prevent the cold;
But Tiantian's little face has always been red, not the kind of frozen red, but a healthy red with blood.
Otherwise, why would he be called a soul boy? Why couldn't the Sword Master want to accept him as his disciple?
After lighting a cigarette, Zheng Fan sat outside and smoked slowly.
At this time, someone came back, it was Liang Cheng.
"Lord."
"How is the war going?" Zheng Fan asked casually.
It's just a small tribe that doesn't know the heights of the world, and Liang Cheng personally leads the army, how can it cause any trouble?
"It has been breached. My subordinates found a person and brought him over."
"Oh, which one?"
"Bring it up."
"Here."
Soon, an extremely slovenly man was brought up.
At first, Zheng Fan didn't recognize it, but after taking a closer look, he found that it was Monk Kong Yuan.
Monk Kong Yuan stood there in a daze, his eyes dull.
"How can it be so coincidental?"
"Returning to the Lord, it's not because of a coincidence, but because that tribe has accepted hundreds of such ignorant people since last month.
They did whatever they were told to do, they worked as hard as they were told, and gnawed mud as they were told. They stabbed them with knives and burned them with fire. They didn't know the pain, let alone dodge.
Therefore, the leader of this tribe believed that he had received the fearless warriors sent by the stars and that he was protected by the stars, so he dared to disobey our orders and kill our people. "
"Master Kongyuan?"
Zheng Fan shouted several times, but Monk Kong Yuan seemed not to hear him at all.
"Sit down." Liang Cheng said.
Monk Kongyuan sat down.
At this time, Zheng Fan discovered that there were several terrifying scars on his back, which must have been extremely serious injuries.
"Does this look like a walking corpse?" Zheng Fan asked Liang Cheng.
In this regard, Liang Cheng is an expert.
"No, he is still alive. We also captured some people like him. The subordinates have checked them and they are indeed alive.
The subordinate felt that he must have been severely hypnotized, or that his self-awareness had been erased, leaving only the instinct of compliance. "
"They came from the north?"
"Yes, my lord."
Zheng Fan immediately straightened up and said:
"This damn MLM team has been disbanded and is going to run away."
Little monk Liao Fan broke free from his restraints and escaped because of his firm heart. Monk Kong Yuan and the group of "similar people" were completely dismissed.
It was a place that existed like a religious altar. They also needed offerings and supplies from believers. Now, they dismissed these "believers", which must mean they have to move.
"A Cheng, you are responsible for holding back. I will lead a thousand cavalry to go ahead."
"My lord, would it be too dangerous for you to go in person?" Liang Cheng asked worriedly.
He knew clearly that the Lord's large army was too cumbersome and wanted to ride quickly.
"So I asked you to respond from behind. If I encounter any danger, I must at least have hope. I hope that reinforcements will arrive at the last moment. Only if you lead the rear army can I have such hope.
Besides, since I'm ready to run away, there's nothing to be afraid of. I wonder why San'er hasn't sent the message back yet. I guess it's already been posted, so I have to go and pick him up.
Maybe San'er is also waiting eagerly for me to lead the army there. This is good. One group of us is looking forward to the other, at least, we all have something to look forward to in our hearts.
This thing is so evil that no matter whether it is a prophecy or not, it cannot make him grow up. "
"My lord, I still don't agree with what you are doing. You are the commander of an army and cannot be so radical. Besides, the road ahead is vast and Liaofan's map is a large area. Just take these people there. What should you do? Are you looking for luck?"
When Zheng Fan heard this, he smiled, pointed at Monk Kong Yuan, and said:
"Do you know why I sent someone to send a message to the master and apprentice in the snow field to help me find the location of the prophecy?"
Lord Zheng asked and answered himself:
"Because this pair of master and apprentice have a good life, the kind that can be seen. You see, the master is stupid and the apprentice is schizophrenic, but neither of them dies, right?"
Lord Zheng pointed at himself again,
Road:
"My life on the battlefield is sometimes very bad. This can be regarded as my self-confidence.
In addition, if you tell me again and again, I will definitely not be able to find that thing. I think the probability of me encountering that thing will suddenly become very high. "
"..." Liang Cheng.
Zheng Fan no longer hesitated and ordered Liang Cheng: "Give me a thousand and ride out."
"Yes, my lord." Liang Cheng could only agree.
immediately,
Zheng Fan walked into the commander's tent and said to Siniang: "The matter is urgent and we have to pursue it first. I will personally lead a team of soldiers and horses forward to assist San'er. Siniang, you stay in the commander's tent in the Chinese army to protect..."
Protect Tiantian, Zheng Fan still didn't say this.
Because Tiantian stood beside Liu Dahu, holding a dagger and straightening his chest.
"day by day."
"The child is here!"
"Dad is going to chase the enemy. You stay in the Chinese army's tent and protect your aunt."
"The child takes orders!"
Zheng Fan's eyes met with Siniang's, and they both understood.
Immediately afterwards, Zheng Fan looked at the Sword Master:
"Old Yu."
The sword master nodded and walked out with his sword.
When Zheng Fan was about to leave the tent, he saw Tiantian trotting out, taking off the purse wrapped with red stones from his body and delivering it to Zheng Fan:
"Sister, protect father."
Zheng Fan hesitated for a moment. Perhaps his previous words to persuade Liang Cheng had left some psychological shadow on him, but when he looked at Tiantian, he hesitated.
at this time,
The red stones flew up on their own,
He flew into the secret compartment inside Zheng Fan's armor by himself.
In this case, Lord Zheng would not be pretentious.
Lifting his cloak,
Walking outside, the Sword Master followed.
"Fan Li, A Ming, set off with me."
"Yes, my lord."
"My lord, I'm coming."
quickly,
A group of more than a thousand cavalry separated from the central army and galloped north.
.........
at the same time,
On a snowfield in the north,
A dwarf poked his head out of the snow.
Beside him, a group of heads slowly poked out.
In the distance of their sight, there was a team heading west.
Some of them were riding horses and some were walking.
The most conspicuous thing in the team is what looks like a large sled, pulled by three snow wolves whose physique is not inferior to that of war horses.
The sled carried a large square piece of ice. There was obviously something inside the ice, which showed a shadow under the sunlight.
"Third Master, don't we send someone back to inform Mr. Hou?" Dai Li, a close confidant next to Xue San asked.
"What a silly question. We have already deviated from the established route. We don't know where the Lord's army is now. How can we inform them and light the beacon?"
The snowfield is vast and vast, but there are not many places suitable for human survival, so the land is truly vast and sparsely populated, which makes the transmission of news too difficult.
Although Marquis Zheng's army is outnumbered, but here, unless you have a large number of scouts spread out to search, there is a high probability that the two armies will pass by each other.
Therefore, if you let one or two people go back, whether you can spread the news really depends on luck. Letting too many people go back will be a waste of the existing manpower on hand.
Xue San licked his lips,
His attention was always on the ice.
Not surprisingly, that is the goal of my trip.
Prophecy?
The real devil?
You are so beautiful,
Still lying in the ice,
Hey,
Good,
I will deal with you directly while you are still awake, but don’t blame Third Master for my lack of martial ethics.
"Move in advance and prepare to ambush the enemy wherever they must pass. Everyone, I chose you for this mission because I know that you all have wives and children."
"Yes, third master."
"Yes, third master."
Xue San nodded,
road;
"Okay, in this mission, most of you probably won't be able to go back alive, and you won't be able to take your bodies back with you, but don't worry, your children will be taken care of by the Marquis, including the betrothal gifts and dowries.
and also,
Those who are willing to let their wives remarry, please raise your hands now and let me see. For the rest, I have acquiesced that your mother-in-law will not be allowed to remarry, and the Hou Mansion will provide you with money and food every month. "
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. In the end, only two people raised their hands.
Xue San glanced twice and said;
"Understood, now follow my instructions and divide into two teams. I will lead one team to continue to watch here. Dai Li, you take people to set up traps and ambush in front. When they come in, directly..."
Xue San lowered his palms,
"boom!"
"boom!"
Suddenly, a group of people flew out of the snow on both sides of where the team was passing in the distance, and went straight towards the team.
There are many experts here, otherwise it would be impossible to make such a loud noise.
"..." Xue San.
The two groups of people immediately started killing each other.
At this time,
Dai Li asked: "Third Master, should we kill him too?"
Xue San cursed angrily:
"Are you so eager to have your wife become a widow for you?"
"Uh..." Dai Li.
Xue San silently took out the fried noodles from his pocket and stuffed them into his mouth.
Road:
"Eat and watch a show."
