Zhong Tianlang felt very good about himself and led his army back south after showing off. After he left, Zheng Fan asked Liang Cheng to lead five hundred cavalry in a pretense chase.
Liang Cheng knew what he was doing and didn't rush forward because he wanted to prevent the silver-armored general from turning around. Anyway, he just rode in front and Liang Cheng escorted him from behind, giving him a little pressure.
This scene is very similar to when Zheng Fan led his army back from Qian Kingdom a while ago, and was escorted by various cavalrymen from Qian Kingdom.
There is a rule in the art of war called "Don't hide when you return to the army, and don't pursue the poor enemy."
This is the situation we are talking about. The other party is determined to go home, and if you try to stop it, the other party will definitely fight with you. Whether you can intercept the other party or not, you will definitely suffer losses. It will be huge.
In fact, this so-called pursuit is an excuse to defend oneself for the subsequent "accountability".
Probably, only Zheng Fan can use Liang Cheng to do such a thing.
When the sky turned white, Liang Cheng led his army back, and as many people as they went out came back, no one was missing.
Zheng Fan took the time to wash up and go to sleep. The cold wind blowing on the city wall for most of the night was really unbearable.
When I woke up, it was already noon.
Zheng Fan could sleep, but others could not. After Liang Cheng came back in the morning, he replaced another team with 500 people and rode out.
This time, of course, I am not going to chase the enemy, but to clean up the battlefield.
Yes, after the Qian people finished fighting, Cuiliu Fort came to take charge of cleaning up the battlefield.
When Zheng Fan washed up, finished his meal and came out, he found hundreds of soldiers sitting outside eating lunch.
The appearance of these defeated soldiers is not very good, and they all have a look of panic on their faces, but each of them must be hungry and gobbled them up.
Zheng Fan walked up to the wall and asked the blind man who was using crutches instead of a wheelchair,
"How many people have been gathered?"
"Three hundred "It's not bad."
"Well, it's really not bad."
Qianqi picked up a small castle last night. In addition to the four military camps, the Yan army suffered many casualties. Of course, many were able to escape during the rush to the camp.
After all, it’s a night raid, and it’s impossible to be sultry without leaking any juice.
"Since we have accepted these people, we cannot spit them out again."
Zheng Shoubei gave guiding thoughts.
In fact, despite Zheng Fan’s many military exploits in Dayan, he still didn’t know that there was still a prince’s head still in transit waiting for signature;
But strictly speaking All in all, Zheng Shoubei's actions not only did not break away from the style of a warlord, but were even more like a warlord than a warlord.
Before a real tough battle, retreat and divert trouble to the east. After the war, react quickly to absorb strength.
itsIn fact, you can't blame Zheng Fan for being too dark, but this world taught Zheng Fan this truth when he first became a civilian husband.
For those who are not dark-hearted enough, or who are still naive in their hearts, the grass on their graves has already grown so high.
It is not that Zheng Fan has never thought about whether he could stand at the forefront of the storm and shout "Fight to the death" for a so-called righteous cause.
But it’s just a thought. After all, this is a brand new world, not the history that I am familiar with. If it is time travel in the traditional sense, as a time traveler, maybe I will really feel that way. .
"My lord, my subordinates plan to put these defeated soldiers into the lowest level, and then upgrade them to the next level after they have gained military merit."
"Yes, I agree."
A defeated soldier must naturally look like a defeated soldier. It is interesting enough to take you in and protect you from punishment. Let’s not talk about the rest of the status.
At this moment, a messenger came over and conveyed the military order, saying that Xu Wenzu was nearby and asked Zheng Shoubei to come and see him.
Zheng Shoubei did not hesitate, put on his armor and took A Ming out.
Xu Wenzu's position was not far from Cuiliu Fort. At this time, his plump body was sitting in the center of a military camp, which was in ruins.
Beside Xu Wenzu, there were hundreds of Nanwang City guards, as well as five other general officers whom he had seen in the signing room yesterday.
When Zheng Fan arrived, he just stood at the back and did not say anything.
Xu Wenzu sat there like a mountain of flesh, and the suppressed emotion emanating from him could indeed be presented in the form of official authority.
The big guy stood like this for a long time. Finally, Xu Wenzu raised his head, and there was a stream of light flowing between the narrow slits of his eyes.
He spread his hands and said:
"Everyone knows what happened. I didn't call you here to hold you accountable. Because this face has been lost, accountability or not is meaningless.
This time, the gangster came to the door, and the gangster left in a dignified manner.
My officer, you, you, you, all of you here,
none of you can escape,
It is not a pity to die!”
Xu Wenzu did not shirk any responsibility or find any reasons. In fact, almost a day had passed since the incident, but there was still no news from the Jingnan Army Camp.
The Marquis must know what happened last night, but the Marquis still said nothing.
This kind of silence is very strange, but it is often the most terrifying.
"I care about my official position, my family, my life, and the things that are the foundation of my life. I believe that you also care about it."
Xu Wenzu on one side Said that while his eyes were scanning all the people present,
“Let me say something that is not afraid of violating taboos.A family that has been established for hundreds of years is gone. What does this little bit of wealth and status mean to me?
Right now, a national war is imminent. Do you and I, all of you, really want just this little bit of military power in your hands?
This is a national war, this is a national war!
It has been a hundred years since I, Dayan, waited for this opportunity again. Qingshi is right in front of us. It is possible that we will have the opportunity to leave our name in Qingshi!
To be honest, from the Marquis of Jingnan, I sent someone to deliver the information to the camp in the morning, but not a word was heard from the Marquis of Jingnan.
When we were signing the pledge room yesterday, you and I both said that the Jingnan Army and the Zhenbei Army in Dayan were too few, and we had to launch a strong army.
Okay, as soon as I finished speaking, I was slapped in the face that night.
I am from the north. In the north, there is only one truth, that is, no matter how many people your barbarians dare to come to the borders of Yan State to kill, the Zhenbei Army will go to the desert and kill twice as many! "
Speaking,
Xu Wenzu took a deep breath,
shouted:
"We usually fight among ourselves. But this time, it's not as simple as fighting in a den. Tomorrow, all the families and ministries should stop hiding and mobilize the most capable troops under your command!
Gather here, assemble the army here, and let’s fight together towards Qian State. Gan Ren killed one of us last night, and we will kill two of them tomorrow.
If you don’t kill enough people, you will never return to camp!
My soldiers were the first to attack the city and the first to break out the stronghold!
You take the military glory first, and I will replace the ordnance, men and horses that were damaged after the war!
I just want to ask,
It’s the fucking man who takes care of Luanzi,
Do you dare to go together tomorrow and give this breath to her? Fight back! "
Xu Wenzu shouted very excitedly, his face was already red and steaming.
The five general officers present knelt down on one knee,
He cupped his fists and said in a deep voice:
"The last general takes command! ”
All the officers are of the same rank, and Xu Wenzu is also the commander-in-chief. However, because of the different errands, Xu Wenzu can usually dominate them by half, but at this moment, these five commander-in-chiefs regard Xu Wenzu as My superior, I consider myself a subordinate.
It’s not that Xu Wenzu’s words just now were so inflammatory.
They are all adults, and they are still in the military. The old bastard who was beaten out of trouble is not something that young people can incite with just a few slogans.
The reason for this is, first of all, it happened last night, and Dayan was left behind. Big Face actually let Ganren fight in and out.
Secondly, they themselves knew that at the moment, they really needed a leader to lead everyone to gather their strength together. Let’s make a comeback first.
Since Xu Wenzu is willing to say this, it proves that he has already adopted this attitude. Besides, he can accept Xu Wenzu’s orders.Those who rushed here from their own village are somewhat emotionally aligned with this place, and they have already gone through preliminary screening.
Zheng Fan and other guards and captains also knelt on the ground and agreed in unison.
“We don’t want to make alliances based on blood. We are the Yan army, not bandits. I hope everyone has not forgotten that we are Yan people!
Okay, let's go back and prepare. Tomorrow, we will gather our troops here and set off!"
The generals left one after another.
Zheng Fan stayed.
Xu Wenzu’s eyes signaled Zheng Fan to follow him into a half-collapsed tent. Outside, there were soldiers guarding the tent so that no one else could approach.
"Huh...I'm so angry!"
After entering the tent, Xu Wenzu cursed and sat down on the ground.
Zheng Fan also sat on the ground together.
This time, Zheng Fan was not as natural and warm as when he faced Xu Wenzu before.
"This place is so close to your Cuiliu Fort, and you didn't receive any movement last night?"
Xu Wenzu began to ask questions.
Zheng Fan smiled bitterly and said: "Among the entire border forts, Cuiliu Fort was the only one who lit the beacon fire last night."
Xu Wenzu was choked.
Although there were a lot of soldiers at the Dayan border, Xu Wenzu was also aware of the chaos of the system here.
Firstly, this is the fault of the predecessor Xiao Dahai, and even the fault of the fortress system that was further weakened. Secondly, it is because the imperial court has sent so many general soldiers over these days, so many people are coming. , Jingnan Marquis is not responsible for sorting things out, everyone is like a headless fly, and there is no one in charge, so it is strange to be able to keep things in order.
"Alas." Xu Wenzu sighed and looked at Zheng Fan with a much softer look.
In fact, Zheng Fan also knew in his heart that despite what Xu Wenzu told him in Hutou City that he was going to donate the city to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, in fact, Xu Wenzu was different from himself.
Xu Wenzu is an out-and-out Yan native. Now the Marquis of Zhenbei is obviously standing with the Emperor of Yan and preparing to go south. If he is here to save his strength and avoid the war in an ugly way, he will be thrown here by Xu Wenzu. Dare to turn against others.
Some of the arrangements and decorations last night, to put it bluntly, were actually performed for Xu Wenzu. Xu Pangpang is now his biggest supporter, and he is also in charge of so many supplies in Nanwang City, so naturally he has to Coaxed.
"Sir, I sent out troops to chase the cavalry last night, but failed to catch up. There were many people on the other side, and I was afraid of being ambushed."
In this sentence , half true and half false.
Xu Wenzu nodded, indicating that he understood, but his expression was a little dull.
Obviously, Xu Wenzu guessed something and deliberately conveyed this emotion to Zheng Fan.
He was suspecting Zheng Fan of avoiding the war, and was still warning Zheng Fan in this way.
Xu Wenzu served as a civil servant and a military attache.Yes, I also ate sand in the Northland. How could he not understand the details here?
If you don’t bring back some enemy corpses in pursuit, what’s the point of pursuit?
Zheng Fan smiled bitterly again:
"Sir, the target of that Qianqi is the subordinates."
Xu Wenzu was stunned and didn't care. After passing the message with Wan'er's expression, he turned to look at Zheng Fan and asked:
"How did you know?"
"Last night the Lord Qianqiu came to my Cuiliu. Outside the fort, he held up a human head, saying that he had killed Zheng Fan, the guard of Cuiliu Fort, and had destroyed Cuiliu Fort, so that we could clean our heads and wait for him to pick them up later."
"... ..."Xu Wenzu.
Xu Wenzu’s face turned a little blue from holding back, as if he wanted to laugh but had to hold it back.
Laughing at this time is equivalent to completely breaking your skills, but damn, this thing is really funny, hahahaha!
"My subordinates couldn't see clearly whose head belonged to him, but thinking about it, the Qianqi general must have recognized the wrong person and hit the wrong place. Therefore, when the other party left, The subordinate led the army to pursue it a little too cautiously, because the subordinate knew that the opponent's target was the subordinate, Cuiliu Fort.
The subordinate could be defeated, or he could lose his troops. To be honest, if If you can keep that Qianqi, even if you destroy all of Cuiliu Fort, your subordinates will not frown.
But the battle between the two countries is a competition of momentum! .
My subordinates have achieved good military exploits in Qian Dynasty several times, and they have promoted the prestige of our country, Yan. It is estimated that the names of my subordinates have long been on the desks of the generals of Qian Kingdom. They are one by one. I wish I could kill my subordinates and then be quick.
It is possible to defeat the subordinates, but if Cuiliu Castle is gone or the subordinates are killed, they will really kill them.
< p>The impact of this is much greater than the gain and loss of one person's fort.""Alas!"
Xu Wenzu lowered his head and finally put that down. His smile was suppressed, and he reached out and patted Zheng Fan on the shoulder,
said:
"It's true. Last night, you must not have anything happen to you. If anything happened to you, Sorry, our Yan country's face has been greatly reduced this time. The most important thing is that if the Qianqi really takes your head back, the morale of the Qianren side will definitely rise. < /p>
I estimate that the Ganren general probably used Xinghua Village as Cuiliu Fort, because the other forts were too small, so Xinghua Village only had more soldiers and horses. "
Zheng Fan said in shock:
"Isn't that the head that the Ganren general held up with a spear last night, that was General Deng?"
p>Xu Wenzu nodded and said:
"It’s time to stay together."
Zheng Fan sighed, with no trace of gloating on his face, only a hint of sadness. .
Although there are contradictions, after all, they are all Yan people and Yan troops., they are all Pao Ze, alas...
This level cannot be too much, otherwise it will be a bit fake. Fortunately, Zheng Fan's acting skills have been greatly improved in this world, and Xu Wenzu is The first opponent he played with was also very skilled.
Xu Wenzu pursed his lips,
seeing Zheng Fan’s expression,
comforted Zheng Fan and said:
“Don’t think about these things anymore. Now, the Ganren are going north, no matter who they are fighting, they are all the Yan army, and there is no such thing as fighting the wrong one and the right one. Last night, what made me a little relieved was that one general and four defenders were all killed in battle. No one can survive."
Zheng Fan clenched his fists and said:
"They are all my Dayan's... good son. Ah!”
“Well, by the way, you will have the 1,500 barbarians picked up from me later. I have equipped them with horses and armor. It’s urgent.
Several soldiers under his command were killed this time, especially Commander Yang, under whose command Deng Ziliang was. This time the entire Xinghua Village army was wiped out, and he suffered the greatest loss.
I'm afraid they're going to take advantage of the barbarian soldier again, so take it back and eat it as soon as possible
As for today's matter, don't talk about it anymore. It’s up to them to say what they want, let’s not talk about it ourselves.”
“My subordinates understand.”
“Well, I’ve given you the soldiers, the horses and the weapons. Here you go, you just heard it, I issued the military order in front of the five generals.
Tomorrow, you have to do your best to help me earn this face. Come out!"
"If you don't dare to die!"
"Don't die, but tomorrow, don't hide it, I know, you If my subordinates are really good at fighting, let me fight well.
After this scene is finished tomorrow, I will be able to win over these five generals. ”
If so, just click here.
Raise troops for a thousand days and use them for a while, Xu Wenzu has already said it thoroughly.
I will give you Zheng Fanbing, give you ordnance, and support you like this, but I want you to help me step forward and fight!
Just like Xiao Liuzi supported Zheng Fan in this way, he also thought that Zheng Fan could rise in the military and have a military supporter when he competes for a big position or saves his life in the future.
In this world, nothing good comes from the sky.
At the same time, Xu Wenzu also wanted to use this incident to bind the five general soldiers to his chariot, which again involved political considerations.
"Don't worry, sir, Cuiliu Castle will definitely not disappoint you tomorrow!"
"Well, okay, you go back and get ready, I have to go back and clean up. "
Zheng Fan helped Xu Wenzu stand up,
After Xu Wenzu stood up, his hand was still holding Zheng Fan's wrist,
he said meaningfully:
"Yesterday, I already reported your military exploitsWent up. "
"Thank you, sir. "
"Don't thank me, you earned this all by yourself. What I want to say again is that in this life, you have to catch something.
Just like the kite, there has to be wind to fly it. You have the ability, and you are always appreciated by the big shots. This is your blessing, but don't be complacent. ”
Zheng Fan frowned slightly, thinking about the deep meaning of Xu Wenzu’s words.
Xu Wenzu patted the back of Zheng Fan’s hand again,
said:
"This wind is coming, you have to catch it. If you catch it..."
"What if you catch it?" "
Xu Wenzu reached out and opened the tent, bent down and walked out,
looking up at the blue sky,
said:
"It's up to heaven. ”
