The devil is coming

Chapter 775 A hundred years of wealth, the war begins from now on!
Not long ago, there was a young chief of a tribe in the snowy plains. He was literate and liked to express emotions. After drinking, he once imitated the imaginary scribe of Qian Kingdom. He held up his wine bowl and sighed to the moon:
It's ridiculous that our noble saints are now like a warm dog at the feet of Lord Pingxi!
then,
The young patriarch had a leg broken by his father;
After being placed under house arrest, his younger brother naturally inherited the position of the young leader of the tribe.
Because their father was one of the leaders who betrayed the Savage King.
Now, the transfer order from Pingxihou Mansion came to the snowy field again.
The difference from the last transfer order is that this time the reward is stated in the transfer order. If you perform rewards based on merit, you can get land in the pass.
Many tribe leaders were shocked by this reward.
Back then, when a generation of savages followed the savage king and entered the pass, wasn't it because they wanted the land in the pass?
In addition, the Pingxi Hou Mansion has already had savage households in the fields, and they are also regarded as "benchmarks" and "models". The Hou Mansion often dispatches them to perform military duties to escort goods in the snowy fields. In fact, they are for publicity.
These savages are also working hard. Firstly, everyone has the need to gain satisfaction through showing off. Secondly, they also hope that more and more savages will enter the Hou Mansion in the future. If there are more people, people from Yan and Jin will We can't compare, but at least we don't have to be overwhelmed by barbarians anymore, right?
Therefore, many savages in the snowfields know what kind of life their "common people" live in the pass. The savages are collectively called savages, but in fact there is no unified national concept. Therefore, many savages in the snowfields dream of becoming Pingxihou A standard household under the government.
As for the nobles of the Snowfield Tribe, some are indeed ambitious. Regardless of whether they have this ability or not, it does not affect their dream of becoming the second best among the Savage Kings;
But there are also many savage nobles who want to leave the snowy fields and work for Lord Pingxi in Fengxin City. Even being a rich man is more comfortable than being in the snowy fields.
There has always been a rule in the Qixue Customs clearance field. For the savage nobles on the snowy plains, your property will be determined first. Gold, silver and jewels are acceptable, hard work and population are acceptable, and sheep and horses are also acceptable. After your property is qualified, you can You can move your family and settle in Fengxin City.
The Savage King once proposed to use commercial means to control the snowy plains, but after it was actually implemented, the Savage King was shocked to find that the Hou Mansion's methods shocked even him.
Anyway,
Driven by the big stick of the Marquis and the promise of benefits, a new round of [-] cavalrymen were recruited from the snowy plains. Brother Ke Yandong personally led a group of soldiers and horses, half leading and half guarding the area. Follow them to Zhennanguan.
……
"After the war, are we really going to give them land?"
Chen Xianba frowned slightly as he looked at the chaotic team of savages marching below.
He is a Yan person, an authentic Yan person, and he has inherited the deep-rooted racial discrimination of the old Yan people.
Chen Xianba didn't mind that the Marquis ordered the savages from the snowfield to enter the customs. In a war, people would always die. It was better to let the savages die than to let his own family die, but he also knew that the external promises made by the Marquis would definitely be fulfilled.
Because that was Lord Pingxi, who kept his promise!
Xu An, who was also a bodyguard of Jin Shuke, smiled and pointed towards the south.
Road:
"Well, there is a lot of land in Shanggu County, south of our town of Nanguan."
There are two grand passes in eastern Shanxi, the Xueguan Pass in the north and Zhennanguan Pass in the south.
In Xu An's words, this group of savages entered the pass from the north and then left the pass to the south to farm.
"Ha ha ha ha."
When Chen Xianba heard this, he immediately felt relieved. He reached out and patted Xu An on the shoulder and said:
"That's right, that's right! Let them go to farm in Shanggu County, haha!"
Xu An frowned slightly, this kid really didn't understand how strong he was.
"presumptuous!"
Jin Shuke's voice came from behind.
Xu An and Chen Xianba immediately turned around and knelt down on one knee.
Jin Shuke kicked Xu An in the chest, and Xu An was knocked to the ground directly. Chen Xianbahu, after Jin Shuke kicked him up, Chen Xianba only shook his body twice and did not turn over.
Next, Jin Shuke kicked him three times in succession.
Finally, Chen Xianba realized it and fell to the ground.
Metal arts can exhale,
Staring at Xu An,
scolded:
"Just because you have some brains, you have your tail in the air, right? You think you are so powerful, the battle hasn't even started yet!"
"The subordinate is guilty!"
Jin Shuke looked at Chen Xianba again and cursed:
"I don't know that I have a loud voice. I'm afraid that others can't hear what you two are saying. Believe it or not, I will ask you to be the messenger!"
The messenger commander is responsible for relaying orders between the commander-in-chief and the various military leaders.
Chen Xianba immediately became anxious. He had always dreamed of seizing the opportunity to rush into battle, so how could he be willing to do this kind of errand?
"General, my subordinate is wrong, but please don't..."
"Shut up!"
Chen Xianba shut up immediately.
"The Marquis once taught me that before any battle, you must calm down first. Look at what you two are like. If you really want to be my personal soldier for the rest of your life, you can. When my son grows up in the future, you will Just serve as soldiers for my son, two worthless things!"
Xu An and Chen Xianba could only continue to bury their heads.
Jin Shuke spat on the ground again,
Road:
"Get the fuck up, and let me pick up the Marquis."
……
The Calabash Temple has just been renovated.
Lord Zheng's guard of honor was sent from Fengxin City.
Subsequently,
Soldiers and horses from all walks of life began to gather towards the honor guard of Lord Zheng.
First of all, there are the three thousand headquarters troops and horses in Fengxin City, and the royal guards are also in this sequence.
Then came Liang Cheng's [-] cavalry, which were trained by Liang Cheng himself. They were elite soldiers and generals. The Hou Mansion gave them the best equipment, the best treatment, and used good materials and sufficient supplies. The elites of various tribes are piled up with gold and silver!
The Savage King sent [-] troops to his town. Most of them were from barbarians. The old foundation came from the brave warriors who climbed out of the dead after the war against Chu. They were trained and equipped by the Savage King himself. It's much worse than Liang Cheng's, but it definitely shouldn't be underestimated.
In addition, Ding Hao's town also sent five thousand troops.
Gong Wang and Gongsun Zhi each came from their base with eight thousand soldiers and horses.
All in all, [-] soldiers have gathered under the commander's banner.
Yan Chuang produces horses, and the knights of the Three Jin Dynasties have been famous for hundreds of years. Xueyuan is also a horse producing land, so the [-] soldiers and horses under the commander's flag are all cavalry.
Moreover, it is not an auxiliary soldier, there is no junk fish, there is no fake Yu, it is a real iron cavalry!
Zu Zhuming, the governor of the three sides of the Qian Kingdom, scraped together here and there to recruit cavalry from the Qiang land of the Qian Kingdom. Counting the poor horse administration at home, the total of the three sides was only a cavalry team of this size, and he could only directly control it. Halfway through, the rest were treated as treasures in the hands of various military leaders.
As for Lord Pingxi of Jindong, he could easily gather so many of them. If they were given to Zu Zhuming, the former East China Sea Marshal would probably laugh his nose out of tears in his dreams.
That's not all. You have to know that the town in Zhennan Pass that has good gold skills can also allocate another [-].
In other words, by the time before and after Zhennanguan Pass, Zheng Houye will have [-] cavalry under his command.
In addition, [-] auxiliary soldiers and [-] civilian soldiers were also recruited. At the same time, civilian soldiers and some auxiliary soldiers will also be sent out from Xuehaiguan and Zhennanguan to support the frontline war.
According to the original plan, Liang Cheng and Jin Shuke would be able to work together with the [-] soldiers and horses brought by the barbarians, plus the auxiliary troops.
In short, no matter what, we must ensure that there are [-] tigers and tigers where Lord Zheng is sitting, because this is the real key to victory.
The core of the entire strategy is four words...Tian Ji's horse racing.
Gou Moli looked at the numerous flags all around and listened to the thunder of horse hooves, but he didn't feel much excitement in his heart.
He knew that although this was not the entire family foundation, it was only three feet short of scratching the ground.
If you win, it's easy to say. If something goes wrong in the war and it doesn't develop as expected, all the hard-earned savings may be burned down.
I don't feel bad for selling my family's land. My master really doesn't take the family business he built with his own hands seriously.
He doesn't feel bad,
I feel heartbroken for Gou Moli...
And the Marquis of Pingxi himself,
Riding on Pixiu,
My heart is full of comfort.
I have been farming for so long and have been developing for so long. I am finally able to become a monk.
What is the peace and tranquility of the country and the people of the two countries living and working in peace and contentment? What is the meaning of war causing people's livelihood to be in ruins?
I can't pull out the knife I sharpened and show it to chop people. I must be feeling very depressed!
The rise and fall of the world, what does it have to do with me, Zheng Fan?
I remember when I was captured in Hutou City, when a young man and a civilian husband almost died in the desert, it was Liang Cheng and Xue San who rescued me. Where the hell are all the people in the world?
In addition, this expedition is different from the one on the snowy field. Everyone, the devil, will follow.
Every day, Zheng Fan did not take her with him, but asked him to protect his pregnant second mother at home.
Marquis Zheng also made a promise to the princess that he would come back after the fight before she gave birth.
After all, Xiong Liqing was a woman who could escape with Lord Zheng on her wedding day. At first, she was a little shocked, but she quickly adjusted herself. Instead of crying and worrying about her mother country, she curiously asked her husband what he could do this time. Can't we break into Yingdu again?
After getting a negative answer from Lord Zheng, the princess was still a little disappointed.
In the early years, the princess had a very simple admiration for her royal brother, the regent of Da Chu;
But when you marry a chicken, you marry a dog, and the things and thoughts you had when you were young have long been taken away by your youth.
Regarding the gift of Quedan, she once again realized how cruel her imperial brother was.
Similarly,
Only after Da Chu is truly destroyed, can her identity as the former princess and now Mrs. Pinghou Ye be truly corrected. This is a war between her man and the emperor's brother, and it is also a battle between her and her emperor's brother Chu. A war between orthodoxies.
Whichever side wins, the bloodline is truly noble!
at last,
The army arrived at Zhennanguan.
The various ministries began to be stationed, and the required supplies and so on began to be counted. The clerk was so busy that his feet were lifted off the ground.
Marquis Pingxi was a direct disciple of King Jingnan, and was almost taught how to fight step by step by Lao Tian. Therefore, when Marquis Pingxi led the army as the commander-in-chief, he naturally inherited the same style as when King Jingnan commanded the Jingnan army. The style of mastering every detail of the entire army.
From the beginning of the march, I kept approving the troops and making mistakes. When the commander's tent was set up, all the information of each department was summarized according to the requirements. There was a small mountain of documents on Mr. Zheng's commander's table.
And after setting up the command, the first thing to do is to gather the generals!
This move is to unify people's hearts and establish the authority of the commander-in-chief.
In fact, it was just a formality here with Marquis Zheng. After all, the troops gathered this time, excluding the savage servants, there were basically no visiting troops.
There is a difference between close relatives and distant relatives, direct lineage and non-direct lineage, but they are all soldiers and horses under his Pingxihou Mansion, and they are all soldiers and generals of his Lord Zheng.
"Woooooooooo!!!!!!!!!"
The horn sounded,
All the soldiers in the center stood in silence.
Under the leadership of Liang Cheng, the generals and guerrilla generals lined up to enter the commander's tent. After entering the tent, they separated on both sides, knelt down at the same time, and said in unison:
"General, please see the Marquis!"
"General, please see the Marquis!"
Lord Zheng was sitting on the handsome seat. He didn't get up to greet him, nor did he greet him with greetings.
He just raised his hand in a normal way,
Road:
"Get up."
"Thank you, Lord!"
"Thank you, Lord!"
Perhaps by chance, a soldier from outside came in and announced:
"Master Marquis, the imperial edict has arrived!"
Before sending troops, Zheng Fan asked the blind man to write a letter to the court in the name of the Marquis Mansion, calculate the distance, and reply... Oh no, the imperial edict has finally arrived.
This was not arranged by Lord Zheng.
He himself immediately laughed and said:
"Ouch, I have forgotten about the imperial edict, haha."
This is a treasonous statement.
No king, no father,
Ignore the court,
Arrogant and domineering,
Contempt the emperor,
Lawless!
The censors in the imperial court could criticize this move for three days and three nights without repeating it.
But when Mr. Zheng said this casually,
All the generals in the handsome tent laughed together.
What does it mean to be a proud soldier?
This,
that is!
Why was Xiao Liuzi willing to hold Zheng Fan's hand and let him sit on the dragon chair to experience it in the Yanjing Palace?
Is it really generous?
Do not,
It's because his surname is Zheng and he has this qualification!
Where are the qualifications reflected?
If not, the big deal that Mr. Zheng always talks about is to join the world and open a new Longmen Inn;
And now,
And at this moment,
And here are the iron cavalry Tiger Ben who are surrounding the army in the handsome tent!
Don't say hello,
I thought we could attack Chu State, so I did so.
The soldiers are my soldiers, the food is my food, the servants are my recruits, and the civilians are my levies;
I made all preparations and the army marched to Zhennanguan before the imperial edict arrived.
This also means,
The Marquis of Pingxi wants to attack Chu today, so he will do so;
Tomorrow I want to follow the example of the gourd and lead the army across the Wangjiang River to the west to attack Yingdu, so I will do so.
Confidence, qualifications,
From the day Ji Laoliu became emperor, Marquis Zheng had warned himself in his heart that he was the emperor, and he should no longer naively think that so-called affection could bind an emperor. Since ancient times, he has carried this naivety Anyone who thinks so will die miserably.
When dealing with the emperor, you must have the confidence to overturn his throne and shake up the Ji family, so that you can truly be long-term and comfortable.
The one who came to announce the decree was Eunuch Huang.
Yes, it’s Eunuch Huang again.
He has almost monopolized all the work of announcing decrees to the commander-in-chief of the Jin army in the past few years. Earlier, he was announcing the decree to King Jingnan, and now, he is announcing the decree to the Marquis of Pingxi.
Eunuch Huang entered the commander's tent in a dusty manner, and galloped all the way to Fengxin City. Only when he arrived at Fengxin City did he realize that the Marquis had already set off, so he had to chase him to Zhennanguan.
Fortunately, Eunuch Huang is used to it.
The eunuch who proclaimed the decree entered the commander's tent with the imperial edict.
Marquis Zheng still didn't get up.
He has long received countless favors from the new monarch. What he remembers most clearly is that from now on, he does not have to kneel when he meets His Majesty. The reason was found for him by Ji Laoliu. Well, he has bad knees due to the war, so he is considerate. .
Ordinary people wouldn't dare not kneel after receiving this kind of grace, but Lord Zheng just didn't like to kneel.
Lord Zheng didn't get up, and none of the generals in the handsome tent responded.
Holding the imperial edict, Eunuch Huang stood in the center. For a moment, he was so embarrassed that his toes were digging into the ground through the soles of his boots.
He dared not be angry,
Precisely because he was a slave of the emperor, he knew the relationship between the marquis and the new king.
Furthermore, the stone lion in front of the old Marquis Jingnan’s Mansion in Litian City is still standing there. The man in front of me is truly the same as the Prince of Jingnan back then!
Therefore, Eunuch Huang could only look at Mr. Zheng as if he was asking for help.
Lord Zheng shook his head,
Look down,
Road:
"What are you doing standing there in a daze? You're taking the order."
"Here!"
"Here!"
All the generals first promised their princes in unison, and then knelt down:
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
Mr. Zheng, who was sitting behind the handsome desk, just leaned back slightly.
"The emperor's edict is to carry out the destiny..."
The content of the imperial edict is very official.
First, he condemned the Chu army for provoking, invading the border, and plundering and killing our border residents;
Well, of course this is something that has no trace. The people of Chu have shrunk to the point where they let the people smash the ice, and they even took the initiative to violate the border. But no matter what, when fighting a war, it must be justified.
Finally, His Majesty issued an order to command Zheng Fan, the Marquis of the West of Yanping, to rise up with the king's army and attack the Chu people who had betrayed the alliance and broken the treaty.
After reading this, Eunuch Huang was a little embarrassed.
Straight bitch,
Your Majesty's imperial edict permitting the dispatch of troops has not yet been issued, and all the troops here have gathered at Zhennanguan Pass.
But he didn't dare to say anything, and he didn't dare to ask anything. After announcing the edict, he took the initiative to place the edict on the commander's desk.
"Eunuch Huang has worked hard, so please stay in the army for a while and supervise the army."
"Thank you, Lord!"
Eunuch Huang was overjoyed. This was a military merit for himself. He, Wei Zhonghe, was still favored. Eunuch Zhang, who followed him from the dormitory, would definitely become a leader in the future. But did they have any military merit?
Of course, he would not dare to supervise the army.
Marquis Zheng didn't give any lectures.
Instead, he directly ordered:
"You're all hungry, let's serve food."
The food is steamed buns.
Because of the announcement of the decree, there was a delay for some time. The weather outside the tent was cold and windy. The steamed buns that were still a little warm at first had become cold by the time the soldiers came in.
Everyone has a share, including Eunuch Huang.
Hot water is burned inside the tent.
Mr. Zheng picked up the steamed bun, took a big bite, and drank it with hot water.
The same goes for the rest of the generals in the tent. No one dared to complain that the steamed buns were not delicious and difficult to swallow.
This scene seems familiar.
After the two of them sat down together, Mr. Zheng stretched out his hand to touch his chest a few times and said:
"Hard to swallow, isn't it?"
The generals were silent.
"I think it's really damn unpalatable. To tell you the truth, I have a very delicate stomach. Tsk tsk."
"Ha ha……"
"Hehehe..."
All the generals laughed together.
And then,
Lord Zheng's face gradually became serious.
The atmosphere in the handsome tent suddenly became solemn. All the generals, including Eunuch Huang, felt their backs tense and stood up straight.
“Eat some whole grains first and scrape the fat in your stomachs;
When we got to the battlefield,
Let me eat with confidence and boldness! "
Lord Zheng stood up and said,
His eyes scanned the generals below,
shouted:
"Are you envious of the century-old foundation of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion? Are you envious of the century-old wealth of the family generals?
right now,
opportunity,
Right in front of you! "
Lord Zheng took out the Wuya knife,
Pierce directly into the frozen soil in front of you,
shouted:
"The centuries-old wealth and honor of my Pingxihou Mansion,
From now on the war begins! "
immediately,
Everyone in the handsome tent knelt down.
They shouted in unison:
"Willing to die for Lord Hou!"
