Zheng Fan really had a cold. This cold lasted for half a month.
But what he said that night was not nonsense, because the strength of the seven demon kings had been further restored.
If Zheng Fan is an eighth-level warrior, the Seven Demon Kings are probably also at the eighth-level realm, but they are different. The BUG bonuses given to them in terms of blood, experience, special abilities, etc. make them It's not just as simple as seven eighth-grade masters.
Everyone in Tianzhai has enjoyed the treatment of "one person attains Taoism, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven".
It is the same here in Cuiliu Fort, but it is more acceptable. .
Although the cold was gone, Zheng Fan still did not wear armor. Instead, he wore a cotton-padded jacket. The thick cotton-padded jacket and a scarf around his neck made him look like a rice dumpling.
It is cloudy and rainy today, and the weather is bitter and cold. The coolness on the ice seems to pierce your skin.
But despite this, the training in the fort is still proceeding in an orderly manner.
Of all the forts on the border of Yinlang County, Cuiliu Fort is probably the only one that has the luxury of having an independent school ground.
So, whether in modern times or in ancient times, although money is not a panacea, it can solve most problems.
On the school grounds, Huo Guang and 700 tribesmen are practicing. How long has the Dayan clan been passed down? Under the infiltration of the arrogant and extravagant style, the clans who are willing to work hard to continue to pass down the family with "martial arts" are becoming more and more popular. The less.
People all desire comfort and make their lives more comfortable, but the Huo family is an exception.
However, this kind of accident did not change the fate of the Huo family being overturned in the wave of Zhenbei troops stepping on the family. However, from another perspective, it could be regarded as providing them with a greater new opportunity. A chance to turn around.
When fighting in a battle formation, you need to get rid of a lot of personal fighting problems. You don’t need anything too fancy, but you need to pay attention to coordination.
This is what Liang Cheng said. Therefore, in the past half month, the Huo family, which has not been divided, began to gradually wear away the personal heroism of the family members through drills under the leadership of Liang Cheng. style.
Zuo Jiqian is still in charge of the Zuo family. The war is imminent and there is no time to divide and disintegrate. Taking care of his own family first can quickly increase the cohesion and combat effectiveness.
Let’s talk about what happens next.
Zheng Fan didn’t understand the principles of military training, so he didn’t give any advice.
Oh, no, Zheng Fan only has one request, and that is to keep Fan Li away from him during military training. He doesn't want his recruits to learn to shout "Ula".
It is better not to deviate too much from the painting style, otherwise as the commander-in-chief, you will not be able to gain enough vanity when needed.
Zheng Fan’s attitude was made very clear that night. I want to play and cause trouble, but I don’t want to be responsible. Listen.Get up, you're a scumbag.
In fact, after that night, Zheng Fan's way of getting along with everyone did not change much. The demon kings still called themselves Lord, but there was a touch of calmness and calmness between them.
Zheng Fan enjoyed this atmosphere very much. He felt that this was what life should be like.
As for whether the demon kings really think this way, Zheng Fan doesn't know, and he doesn't want to waste his brain anymore. It seems stupid to just be an ostrich, but it is comfortable.
"Ah~"
Zheng Fan yawned. Siniang's needlework level has improved in the past few days. For her, she is no longer satisfied with using her hands. Use needles, even feet...
His subordinates want to develop new skills and practice new techniques. As the master, Zheng Fan can only use his body as a training partner.
Alas, if I don’t go to hell, who will?
"Your Majesty." Blind Man Bei walked over, "The Secret Service has sent someone."
......
Wrap yourself in front of the brazier Zheng Fan, who was making rice dumplings, was sitting on a chair, putting his hands on the brazier while warming himself and swaying gently back and forth.
The people from the Secret Service are acquaintances.
Last time I went to Huai Ya Academy, the person who was sent by Du Juan to convey orders to the academy was the one whom Zheng Fan once accused of spying on his female boss in the shower before being assigned to a beating task. tower.
This brother’s name is very unique. His name is Sanji.
When he first introduced himself,
Zheng Fan was confused.
Fortunately, he had recovered from his cold.
Otherwise Zheng Fan really had snot bubbles in his nose from laughing so hard.
Shan Ji is a subordinate of Du Juan, and Du Juan is the head of the Yinlang County Secret Intelligence Department and the Marquis of Jingnan.
"Mr. Zheng, you are so safe here."
Shan Ji came to greet me. After introducing himself, the whole conversation was about this sentence.
Then he left.
After he left, Blind Bei walked out from the back of the hall, dragged over a chair, and sat down next to Zheng Fan.
"Sir, tell me, whose idea is this?"
"It should be Du Juan."
Blind Bei failed to reconcile with Marquis Jingnan I have really been in contact with it, so I can't be sure about some judgments.
Zheng Fan continued:
"The Marquis of Jingnan will not send someone to ask me this. He should be very busy now, and Du Juan should be here to handle these matters." Take responsibility."
"Xu Wenzu took it upon himself," said Blind Bei.
Zheng Fan nodded and said: "It should be."
After all, the Secret Intelligence Department is not a staff department. It is obviously against the rules to directly skip the superior officer to send a message to him, but it is probably because Xu Wenzu was unconditionally partial to Cuiliubao, so Du Juan specially sent Shanji to remind him.
In fact, Zheng Fan was still helping the Jingnan Hou family in Tianzhai.When the corpses were collected inside, the military leaders in Yinlang County had already received orders from Jingnan Marquis.
The order is simple, do your best to harass Qian Guo!
Nanwang City is the first line of defense and the first important town in Yan's southern border against Qian. But at this time, in addition to Xu Wenzu, there were eight general military officers on the border of Yan and Qian.
They were moved forward from the original defense area and garrison. In other words, here, including Xu Wenzu, there are a total of nine generals and military leaders under their command. That's more.
So, when Marquis Jingnan’s order was issued, so many military leaders were like wasps, beginning to pierce the border defense line of Qian Country.
The war actually started before Zheng Fan came back.
Then, more than half a month passed when Zheng Fan came back with the prisoners, but he still did not respond to Jingnan Hou’s call for an order. He just huddled in the fort to train and train his troops again.
"This should be the beginning of the first phase of the war." Blind Bei said.
According to Xiazibei’s calculations, the first stage of the Yan State’s war against Qian was to rely on the power of the Jingnan Army to eat up the Qian State’s field elites in the three towns in the north. This was also the preparation for the second stage. The preparations will be made for the Zhenbei Army to join the war after the sweep of the clan is completed.
The purpose of the current harassment is to attract the Qian Kingdom court to move all the troops it can mobilize around it to the three sides, and then force the Qian Kingdom border troops to fight a field battle with the Yan army.
At the same time, because the various military leaders below have absorbed a large number of clan prisoners, they also need to rely on this kind of intensive military activities to run the team. If they are more sinister, they will also make those clan clans with resentment Prisoners, consume some.
"Blind man, have you ever felt that after hundreds of years of fighting between the Yan State and the barbarians, even the way they fight has become very similar to the barbarians?"
"That's right."
When the barbarians go out to fight, they always use the royal army as the main force, and then call on the other tribes to send warriors to join the battle to form a large army.
On the Yan side, the Jingnan Army is like the royal army, and the military leaders including Zheng Fan are like tribes that come to help in the battle.
"The Qian people are so calm." Zheng Fan said with emotion.
Although Cuiliu Fort did not participate in the battle, Zheng Fan also knew more or less about the fighting situation of other brother troops. The Qian people relied on the defense system of the fort, even if they were attacked again and again by small groups of Yan Army cavalry units. After passing through, they still did not take any active attack posture, and the elites of the three towns never came out once, as if they were determined to be like this.
"Yes, there are not many who take advantage over there, and there are even many who suffer losses."
"Haha."
Zheng Fan smiled.
To be honest, Zheng Fan was not in a hurry. After all, he was the one who fired the first shot, and he was able to get into Jingnan Hou’s sight. Now he had Xu Wenzu as his backer, soTo be calm.
Although it is indeed a bit boring to focus on training troops here, there is no need to rush out and rush around like a headless fly.
"My lord, there is news from the Sixth Prince. It is said that the governor of the three towns of Qian Kingdom, Yang Taiwei, has written to the Qian Kingdom court, requesting that the southwestern troops of Qian Kingdom be transferred to the north for defense."
"In recent years, Qianguo has fought with the chieftains in the southwest. The soldiers there are probably capable of fighting, but they are not a cause for concern," Zheng Fan said.
"Indeed."
The southwest region of Qian State is mountainous, but the three counties of Yinlang County and Qian State Border Town are plains. No matter how capable the southwestern soldiers of Qian State are, At most, he has good fighting ability in mountainous areas. On the plains, if he encounters a cavalry charge, he will still have to take a break.
"This is not the key, the key lies in the second item."
"Oh, the second item?"
"Yes, Taiwei Yang also suggested abolition All the forts on the border of the country were destroyed, and the troops were reduced to the important towns in the three counties." Hearing this, Zheng Fan narrowed his eyes.
This is so determined to be a coward.
Don't look at the fact that the border forts of Qian State have indeed played a significant defensive role in the harassment of Yan's leaders, but that is because the general offensive has not started, and it is just a small fight at the moment.
Once the Jingnan Army moves into action, the warning role of these fortresses will be basically meaningless. Once the Qian Kingdom shrinks its troops and abandons the wild areas, it seems to be a very cowardly behavior, but the defense of the city and the field battle are completely They are two different concepts.
You can’t let Yan’s most proud cavalry dismount and climb the city wall, right?
This is simply criminal.
"If he is really treated as a coward, the problem will be huge."
What Yan State pursues is a quick victory, preferably through two or three battles. The battle ate up all the elites in the northern part of the Qian Kingdom, and then they marched straight in. Once they were forcibly dragged to the north of the Qian Kingdom, they started to play with civil engineering...
Zheng Fan licked his lips, the Yan Kingdom couldn't afford to hold him back. , the country of Yan has been reduced to a pot of boiling oil by the three emperors of Yan. They have to stir-fry the food quickly, but they cannot afford to stew it slowly.
"This eunuch is not simple." Blind Bei said.
"Well, Marquis Jingnan also said something similar, but he is the one who should be transferred."
"After this memorial is posted, it should speed up his transfer." Let's go through the transfer process."
"Ignore him for now. The matter of the eunuch is a headache for Emperor Yan and Marquis Jingnan. I said, since the Secret Service has sent people to urge us, let's go. This soldier has been practicing for some time. Should he go out and try his sword?"
"My lord, do you want to play?"
"Yes"
Blind Bei asked the question very straightforwardly, and Zheng Fan also answered very straightforwardly.
"Yes, yes. In fact, our Cuiliu Fort is far superior to other military leaders in terms of numbers, equipment, and soldier quality. However, so manyWith armor, so many war horses, and such a good supply of food every day, to be honest, it was time for the Sixth Prince to see the results of his investment. "
"Is there any condition for listening to what you say? "
"Yes, this time, I have conditions. "
"Say. "
"The last time I went to Qian Country, my Lord took A Cheng with him. This time, we are all going. "
...
The afternoon training was cancelled. It was a rare opportunity for everyone to rest for half a day. The food in the evening was much better than usual. There was more meat, even enough to make You are just eating meat to the point where you are full.
In fact, the troops in the border towns of Yan State are really not short of food, and the terrifying savings of the clans are enough to make the Yan State court have only happy worries when it comes to food and grass. .
But it is almost impossible to eat as well as Cuiliu Bao. Zheng Fan is willing to spend money on his subordinates. Of course, the most important thing is that the money is not enough. It’s not his fault.
Yanjing’s Xiaoliuzi may encounter the same problem as himself, which is confusion. Spending more of his money and giving him a life goal of working hard to make money can be considered a help.
The soldiers excitedly went to get the food from the food bowls, and after sitting down, they began to eat meat.
In front of the school ground, there were still some meat. Build a bonfire.
Huo Guang sat there, taking the broth brought by his tribe and drinking it slowly.
On the other side, Zuo Jiqian did the same thing. Same.
One has experience, the other has served as a guard in Ji Tui Fort, and the two men are still prisoners and have different acumen from ordinary soldiers.
They guessed it. , It’s time to go to war.
Although they have been eating well in the fort these days, and there are no other discomforts except for the hard training, what this group of people desire most now is not the food and accommodation. Good or bad, what they want is military glory!
They need to use the heads of the soldiers to help their families escape from slavery.
Zheng Fan can wait there as calm as a mountain. But these prisoners were already hungry and thirsty.
After dinner was finished that night, and the soldiers began to line up to distribute dry food, arrows and other things, everyone finally realized what they were going to do. .
A warm atmosphere began to permeate the school grounds
And in the courtyard,
a map was spread out.
< p>Seven people were discussing the battle plan around the map."If you want to play, just play with a big one. I think Mianzhou City is good. ”
Zheng Fan poked his finger on the mark of Mianzhou City.
Mianzhou City is not one of the three major towns in the Qian Kingdom, but it is still a large city. The most important thing is that it is difficult for a person to fall into a pit twice, but he will bend down many times by the pit where he picked up money.
Zheng Fan likes this city. >
“Actually, everything is fine. "Blind Bei doesn't care, just fight it outUnexpectedly, it is not impossible to learn how to cross Chishui four times.
"But won't they be on guard?" Xue San asked worriedly.
After all, Mianzhou City is the only city that has fallen in the Qian Kingdom since the conflict between Yan and Qian.
"These days, those small military leaders are constantly harassing the border of Qian Country, which actually makes Qian Country slack off, because the troops of those military leaders really have no combat effectiveness." Liang Cheng said.
Among the seven people present, he is the only character with war skills.
"They are small in number and poorly equipped. At most, they allow the Qian Kingdom's forts to light up the beacon fire a few more times on the border. This is a good cover for us."
p>Last time, when Liang Cheng and Zheng Fan went to the Kingdom of Qian, they were surrounded by four hundred barbarian cavalry. Although they achieved fruitful results, they were all making dangerous moves.
This time, it is different. Cuiliu Fort is expected to send out 1,500 riders this time. Of course, compared to these 1,500 riders, what gives Liang Cheng more confidence is that,
Everyone, everyone will go this time!
As a member of the Demon King, Liang Cheng knew very well what terrible abilities these similar people had.
The rest of the people actually don’t care where they go or how they fight. They just want a place where they can play.
The impatient soldiers outside on the school field probably did not expect that
What kind of "entertainment" spirit the leaders inside were formulating their battle plans.
In the end, it was Zheng Fan who made the concluding speech,
"Let’s tentatively set the target at Mianzhou City. Take it step by step. After setting off on the road, Liang Cheng will do it. The commander gave the order, and we will all obey you later."
No one had any objections,
Liang Cheng also nodded.
"Then let's... send troops?" Xue San asked.
The blind man opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, I think this seems a bit hasty."
"Well." Zheng Fan nodded and said, "I feel the same way. "Is there anything else you want to add or analyze?"
Blind Bei said seriously:
"I think the Lord should make a comment to the soldiers before setting off." Speech."
"Need it?"
"Very much so"
The soldiers are waiting anxiously. Then, they waited for the guard master of Cuiliu Fort, who was their current military gate.
In the past half month, it was the first time for these prisoners to see their guard wearing armor instead of a large cotton-padded jacket.
This is almost...explicit.
Everyone on the campus began to breathe thicker.
"Really, what can I say?" Zheng Fan asked the blind man Bei beside him.
"Sir, you can say whatever you want."
"Oh."
Zheng Fan clickedNod and step forward.
Everyone fell silent. Except for the sound of firewood popping slightly from time to time in the campfire, there was no other noise.
"Cough..."
The old-fashioned opening of coughing, in later generations, is to say into the microphone: "Hello, hello."
School ground The soldiers on board were very considerate and were staring at Zheng Fan.
Zheng Fan said:
"Everyone must know that the imperial court escorted you here because it actually hopes that you can die here to avoid causing trouble to the imperial court."< /p>
"…………" the whole audience!
