Anywhere that is a little bigger will have its own circle, which is also commonly known as group hugging.
For example, those in the east of the city look down on those in the west, and those in the city look down on those outside the city. If they are older, even the people of the Qian country generally look at the people of the Yan country with a mentality of looking at barbarians, so they will naturally look down on them.
Beifeng County is adjacent to the desert. Although it has changed a lot in recent years due to the rise of the Silk Road, Yinlang County is the "little Jiangnan" of the Yan Kingdom.
Firstly, it is because it is close to the Qian Kingdom and is a commercial exchange center. Secondly, it goes back a hundred years ago. The first generation of Zhenbei Hou carried out forced migration of the population after the three counties of the Qian Kingdom in Madagascar. This is also As a result, Yinlang County not only did not decline due to the war a hundred years ago, but instead was greatly enriched.
The same thing has also caused the three counties on the three sides of the Qian Kingdom to be severely weakened until now. On the one hand, any place where heavy troops are stationed is always so unsuitable for ordinary people to survive; on the other hand, because of the three The two sides have always been under the shadow of war, so in addition to filling in military households, the Qianguo court did not deliberately carry out any restoration or development of the three sides. This is very similar to Hu Jian in the early years.
The people of Yinlang County have a kind of pride of their own. Therefore, when they see caravans or travelers coming from Beifeng County on weekdays, they feel a sense of superiority in their hearts. attitude.
Always ask a few questions about how life is going there, what do you like to do during the holidays, can your children study in private schools, etc., all in order to show off how good you are here? Make preparations for the day.
However, this time, when a group of knights in black armor entered outside Yin City, the people of Yinlang County looked at them with no disdain or regional discrimination, but with excitement. !
Everyone rushed to tell each other, and the people in Yin City and outside Yin City were immediately excited.
The scene of "eating a pot of pulp to welcome Master Wang" happened spontaneously without any rehearsal.
The people of Yincheng took out their own grain reserves, took out their winter bacon, rice cakes and other new year's goods, and took the initiative to work in the military camp without hesitation and with great generosity.
The secret glances from the older girls and younger wives, and the energetic cheers from the young and old gentlemen caught the Zhenbei Army pioneers who had just entered Yinlang County off guard.
They really didn’t expect this kind of treatment.
There are three main reasons for this kind of scene;
One is because of the prevalence of martial arts in the Yan Kingdom. Although there has been peace for decades, the Yan people’s ancestors still have the kind of clinging in their bones. He picked up his sword, mounted his horse, and went to fight the barbarians. His passion was still there.
For this reason, in the Yan State, the status of civil servants has never been able to suppress military generals, and has even been counter-suppressed. At the same time, there is no such thing as the "good man should not be a soldier" among the Yan people like the Qian State. , the tradition of "good iron cannot be nailed".
The second reason is that although the caravans from Beifeng County, travelers from Beifeng County, and immigrants from Beifeng County will be discriminated against by the region, the Zhenbei Army has guarded the desert and suppressed them for nearly a hundred years.The barbarians made it impossible for the barbarians to take another step south. Such great achievements and great deeds have made the Zhenbei Army a kind of "protector god" or "totem" in the hearts of the people.
The third reason is because anyone who is not stupid knows that there is a war now. Although they have only heard about the beating of gongs and drums and have not seen the real signs, although Yinlang County also has its own Jingnan Army stationed there, but The common people, even the common people of Yan State who are tough at heart, are actually afraid of war.
With the arrival of the Zhenbei Army, Dayan’s most capable army has arrived. For them, this is simply the greatest guarantee. The people are excited and cheering, which is reasonable. It's over.
Zheng Fan brought A Ming with him. Usually when there are no special circumstances, Zheng Shoubei always likes to take A Ming with him when he goes out. What boss doesn’t like a subordinate who can take bullets for you without hesitation?
And it’s not a one-time use. If you go back and recuperate, you can continue to block bullets next time. It’s not too comfortable.
At the same time, Zheng Fan also brought 30 cavalry with him. First he went to Yincheng Station once, and then he went home from Nanwang City and was asked for directions again. Zheng Shoubei felt that the style of a lone ranger, Still have to change it.
Since you have subordinates, let’s take some with you on the road. At the very least, they can help you with the rear.
"Oh, it's so lively."
Outside the Zhenbei Army's military camp, there was a sea of people, and the people gathered here spontaneously to express their enthusiasm.
Fortunately, Zheng Fan went out wearing armor this time, and all the knights under his command also wore armor. In addition, most of the equipment in Cuiliu Fort imitated the military style of the Zhenbei Army, so the people watching thought that Which captain of the Zhenbei Army returned to the camp and consciously moved out of the way.
After entering the camp, Zheng Fan looked back at the knights who had followed him. Each of them had egg rice cakes in their hands, and several of them had silk ribbons hanging on their bodies.
This is the way for the girls of the Yan Kingdom to express their love. It is no wonder that these noble soldiers used to be the sons of wealthy men, so they are naturally not bad in appearance and magnanimity. It is normal for them to be favored by so many people.
Zheng Fan looked at himself empty, then turned to look at A Ming, and said with a smile:
"Why didn't you receive the silk ribbon?"
A Ming helplessly opened his pocket and took out a large ball.
"..." Zheng Fan.
A Ming continued to ride lazily on the horse, saying:
I have no intention of showing off, but you insist on finding a balance.
After verifying the tokens and identities, Zheng Fan and his party were allowed to enter the camp.
Yes, the one who called me this time was not the Marquis of Jingnan, but the Marquis of Zhenbei.
A captain led the way, and Zheng Fan’s men could not continue to follow. The rules in the military camp were strict.
A Ming handed the box containing Prince Fu’s head to Zheng Fan,
said:
“Your Majesty, yourLucky bag. ”
He took the lucky bag and went inside with his savings.
The military camp tent, layer by layer, ring by ring, all looked extremely solemn, which also reflected the calmness of the people. The improvement of military discipline in the Northern Army.
After leading troops himself, Zheng Fan fully understood the truth that an undisciplined army would be in trouble. Everyone rushes forward in a swarm, which seems to work well, but it is difficult to last.
It's okay to bully and bully opponents, but it won't work if it's really a battle between elites.
Zheng Fan walked into the central core area of the military camp and saw Li Liangshen, whom Xiao Liuzi had introduced to him at the Zhenbei Hou Mansion.
Li Liangshen was sitting in a circle. On the tree, his eyes were closed, and beside him, a simple and broad sword with a shape similar to that of the previous period was stuck on the ground.
When Zheng Fan came, he didn't even open his eyes.
p>From Chen Daxia, Zheng Fan had heard some things about the world, and knew that Li Liangshen, General Li, was one of the four great swordsmen.
But compared to the other three, this one was. Being a "swordsman" in the military really has the impression of tarnishing the image of a "swordsman" in everyone's mind.
Of course, it's not like the various kinds of people in later generations who have to spend money to get it. list, there is no need to ask the Navy to refresh the data. The reason why Li Liangshen is ranked among the four great swordsmen is really not what he wanted.
The sword master of Jin is a madman. One of the four great swordsmen was praised by him, and Li Liangshen was the one who came to fight with him.
As he continued walking inside, Zheng Fan saw a shirtless man sitting there. There, he held a grilled naan in his hand and was biting it one bite at a time.
At the feet of the big man, there was a plate with peeled garlic.
People who don’t like to eat garlic will not eat any of it, but for people who like to eat garlic, no matter what food is served with it, the taste will be half as bad.
This big man’s name is Li Bao. He is also one of the seven generals, and there is also one named Li Yuanhu. They are both known as the Hubao of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion.
Seeing Zheng Fan coming, they smiled naively at him.
p>This scene reminded Zheng Fan of his own Fan Li.
Zheng Fan immediately bowed slightly and saluted, and then continued to follow the captain.
There were two people sitting outside the tent.
One was an old acquaintance, Qing Shuang, who had walked in the Yanjing Palace together
The other had a long and narrow face. I don’t know whether the portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang that has been handed down is authentic or fake.
Xiao Liuzi once said that among the seven generals, there was a horse-faced man named Li Fusheng, who acted ruthlessly. He likes to exterminate clans the most. Whenever the Zhenbei Army uses troops against the desert barbarians, whenever Li Fusheng leads the army, one of them will be destroyed and returned.
In fact, Li Fusheng is not young, and there are rumors that the seven generals of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion will return. Bing, six surnamed Li, exceptOther than Qingshuang, they are all adopted sons of the Marquis of Zhenbei, but that is not the case.
Rumors in the world come as they please. In fact, the reason why the six surnames are Li is based on the tradition of Yan.
After hundreds of years of rule by the Yan people, the "surname" is no longer just a symbol of inheritance, but a symbol of power.
Before Yanhuangma came to power, the middle and upper class people in Yan country would always add a place name and a surname before introducing themselves.
This is very similar to the West at the same time. When introducing themselves, they start with the son of XXX, the grandson of XXX.
The social atmosphere is like this, and it is inevitable in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion. If you want to hang out with me, you should first use my last name, which means that we will be a family in the future.
At first, the princess wanted to accept Zheng Fan as a servant of the Li family. If he became a servant of the Li family, Zheng Fan would have to change his surname to "Li Fan".
The younger generals, including Qing Shuang, treat Zhenbei Marquis no differently than their foster fathers. However, Li Fusheng is estimated to be only seven or eight years younger than Zhenbei Marquis Li Liangting. , no matter what, it is impossible to have a relationship between adopted father and adopted son.
"Zheng Fan."
Qing Shuang opened her mouth and introduced Li Fusheng beside her.
This introduction is brief enough.
Li Fusheng looked Zheng Fan up and down and said:
"Oh."
He couldn't be colder.
Since entering the heart of the army camp, Zheng Fan's walk has been like watching a male model show.
Fortunately, in the Yanjing Palace, I personally saw Yan Huang leading the Northern and Southern Marquises to perform the show of the strongest boy band of this era.
Now I can still maintain peace of mind. .
Qingshuang pointed to the big tent behind her and said:
"The Marquis is waiting for you inside."
Zheng Fan nodded, and then smiled at Li Fusheng. Li Fusheng laughed "hey hey hey" a few times, pointed at Zheng Fan and said:
"The Marquis said that this boy has the world in his eyes, but I do." I didn’t see Qian Kun, but I saw that this guy is very similar to me. They are both ruthless masters.”
“…” Zheng Fan.
Zheng Fan didn't waste any more time, opened the curtain and walked into the big tent.
Just when Zheng Fan was about to say that he was the former Zhenbei Army stationed in Hutou City to protect merchants, he was stunned for a moment and found that Jingnan Marquis was also in the big tent. .
Zheng Shoubei immediately changed his words:
"Zheng Fan, the guard of Cuiliu Fort, sees the Marquis of Jingnan and the Marquis of Zhenbei."
What exactly is going on? Zheng Shoubei knew clearly which family to eat from.
Jingnan Marquis sits at the front seat. This is very strange. Among the Zhenbei Army strongholds, it is Tian Wujing and not Li Liangting who sits at the front seat.
This is because Zheng Fan does not know that the upcoming battle will be fully commanded by Tian Wujing, and even Li Liangting has to listen to Tian Wujing's orders.
This seems to be a very funny thing, because the Zhenbei Army had 200,000 soldiers going south, while the Jingnan Army only had 50,000 soldiers.
But fortunately, Zheng Fan had seen many such "funny" things in Dayan, so he didn't find it so difficult to understand.
Li Liangting sat below, holding a handful of sugar-roasted chestnuts and eating them one by one.
Zheng Fan knew that Zhenbeihou had lived a poor life since he was a child, so Zheng Fan was not surprised at all that Zhenbeihou was eating every time he saw him. .
"Little Zhengzi." Zhenbeihou said.
If Tian Wujing wasn’t here, Zheng Fan would have really wanted to climb up the stick and shout:
“Hey, the slave is here.”
Think about it In the history I was familiar with in my previous life, the Marquis of Huaiyin could be humiliated from the crotch, and Qi Jiguang, in order to please Zhang Juzheng, could claim to be his lackey and came here to pay his respects.
Zheng Shoubei felt that he had no airs that he could not let go, and the Marquis of Zhenbei was not too young, so he just enjoyed teasing his demented old man.
But Tian Wujing is here,
Zheng Fan really feels embarrassed that his husband is also present when he is with his cheating partner.
So, I can only say respectfully:
"Master Hou, the general will be here."
"Last time in the Imperial Garden, you told me Are those measures now showing results?"
"If you go back to the Marquis, I will be too foolish to attack you."
A small group of troops harassed you. Put pressure on Gan Ren, let Gan Ren come out with elites three times, and then find opportunities to eat them. This was originally the purpose of Zheng Fan's advice in the early stage.
Not only did the Dangan people not take the bait, Taiwei Yang was not transferred. Instead, they began to fortify the walls and clear the fields on a large scale. They were determined not to play field battles and not give you a chance.
Zhenbei Hou shook his head and said:
"At this time and at that time, the land is vast and the people are densely populated, so not all of them are fools."
This is actually excusing Zheng Fan.
"What the Marquis said is true."
"What I said is useless."
The Marquis of Zhenbei had something to say.
Tian Wujing, who was sitting in the front seat, turned his attention to Zheng Fan at this moment.
Zheng Fan immediately felt the pressure on himself increase sharply.
Actually, in terms of relationship, I have only met the Marquis of Zhenbei twice, and the second meeting is not included in this one.
No matter how you calculate it, you have a better relationship with Marquis Jingnan.
But Marquis Jingnan’s act of destroying his whole family really frightened Zheng Shoubei’s young and fragile heart, and he even had nightmares after returning.
So, when facing Jingnan Hou, Zheng Fan really became more and more frightened as he got more familiar with him.
"Zheng Shoubei." Marquis Jingnan said.
"The general is here!"
"Cuiliu Fort, how many soldiers are there now?"
"If we return to the Marquis, we can dispatch two thousand Five hundred horses, all with full armor, one person and two horses!"
"It's a pity that Zheng Shoubei doesn't do business."
"Plop!"
Zheng Shoubei was so frightened that he knelt on the ground.
This is really scary, there is no performance element at all.
In this life, apart from taking the time to cultivate himself to the eighth level of martial arts, Zheng Fan spent most of his time and energy studying acting.
How come you can’t hear the hidden meaning behind Jingnan Hou’s words?
You can fool Xu Wenzu with some things, but it is difficult to fool Jingnanhou!
The entire Yinlang County, and even the entire border war situation, probably cannot escape the eyes of this Marquis. The leader of Yinlang County and the entire secret spy department is his woman.
It is a taboo to avoid fighting and preserve your strength. No superior will allow this to happen. This is reverse.
In addition, Marquis Jingnan is the master who destroys his entire family at the slightest hesitation. Even if he appreciates himself, he will just chop him down with a wave of his hand.
This time, Zheng Fan came out with thirty cavalry. Those thirty cavalry would be funny in the army...
Oh, there is also A Ming, but There is no need for the army to take action. Any one of the four general officers of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion outside can beat the current A Ming into a pissing cow ball.
/p>
"Zheng Shoubei is a smart man, but why does he do stupid things? Please note that we, the Yan people, all know that the Jingnan Army is very strict in military management, alas..."
Tian Wujing looked at Zheng Fan calmly.
Zheng Fan understood everything he said, which made the rest of the conversation quiet.
Sometimes, it is not a good thing for subordinates to be too smart.
The Marquis of Zhenbei continued to add fuel to the fire,
said:
"Little Zhengzi, tell me, what do you need for your head?" What should I do instead? I heard that you beheaded a lot of wolf soldiers before, but that little fat guy Xu Wenzu has already given you 1,500 barbarians. This military merit has been fulfilled long ago. Now, you have What should I give you in exchange for your head?"
Zhenbei Hou glanced at Tian Wujing who was sitting on top, and continued:
" I have begged for mercy for you, but your Lord is a selfless master who only respects military discipline and not reason. Tsk, tsk, tsk, he said that he will kill you, and he must kill you. I have a lot of good words for you, Unless you can trade the head of the godfather for your own life.
But, little Zhengzi, you still..."
Mr. Zhenbei Hou. Use what Jingnanhou said before to block Jingnanhou's mouth, and then make hints. If the first poaching fails, he will do it the second time!
However, before Zhenbei Hou finished speaking,
Zheng Fan immediately pushed the box beside him forward and opened it.
Forehead touch
He said:
"The head of Xiang Shang, King Fu of Chuzhou in the Qian Kingdom, is here!"
"......" Zhenbei Hou.
Li Liangting clenched his left hand tightly, and the remaining half a handful of chestnuts turned into powder. He raised his head and looked at Marquis Jingnan who was sitting in the front seat, and found that Marquis Jingnan still looked calm.
You bastard,
I have known for a long time that this boy named Zheng chopped off the head of Lord Qian!
The young couple is singing a double act here,
What does it mean to be jumping up and down in there?
Jingnan Hou said calmly and authentically:
"Forget it, I will give Zhenbei Hou some face."
"..." Zhenbei Hou .
——————
The typos in this chapter will be corrected later.
This month, Long has updated 340,000 words. To be honest, it has not been updated in a month for several years.
Because each chapter has a large number of words, sometimes I feel like writing a big chapter, so sometimes the update is not very stable, because it takes a lot of time to code. It is impossible to rush out a chapter in the past. , so please forgive me for this.
Long wrote this book very happily, so he basically ensured that he would start typing after he had had enough rest and had enough emotions. Sometimes he was not in a good state and was tired, so he did not force himself. Bite the bullet and write. Although there are a lot of words updated this month, Long is really happy typing every day.
Well, the next chapter should be a big chapter. Usually a big chapter of 10,000 words takes half a day to write, so don’t wait any longer,
