When he came to Litian City, Zheng Fan brought one of his subordinates, and the subordinate was lost on the way. Who knows where he went;
But when he left Litian City, Zheng Fan took five men with him. Thousands of soldiers and horses.
Because these five thousand Jin troops were selected by the Jingnan Army from the surrendered Jin troops, they were truly sufficient, and even if they wanted to water them down, they would not have time to do so.
Of course, it is not the case that the Yan army is free of money. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Even if Emperor Yan is a talented and powerful man who can step on the door, it is impossible to eradicate this problem regardless of ancient or modern times. There are chronic diseases that will exist and will definitely exist.
But the Zhenbei Army is hard to find. Many barbarians and other tribesmen in the entire northern Yan Kingdom and the desert are proud to wear that black armor;
p>
As for the Jingnan Army, because the scale was relatively small at the beginning, and Tian Wujing was a marquis who couldn't get rid of the dirt in his eyes, this phenomenon was very rare.
The two major frontier armies of Yan State have done a good job at this point. If the other soldiers and horses eat a little and drink a little, it will not affect them too much, and it will not affect them in a real battle anyway. Count on them immediately.
For example, when the Yan-Qian war started, half of the hundreds of thousands of troops on the three sides were on the military rolls. This made the Qian country naturally fall into passivity as soon as the war started.
As the Jin army marched eastward under the banner of the Black Dragon of Yan State, the people of Jin along the way had mixed feelings.
The happy thing is that the Yan Kingdom is already mobilizing troops and horses to the east to resist the savages who may come over;
The worrying thing is that it seems that the situation there is really bad. It's very serious.
It was less than a year after the Yan Kingdom was included in the territory. It would be a lie to say how much the local people supported the Yan Kingdom and the Yan Emperor. However, there is one thing that the people of Jin must admit, and that is that Yan People can fight better.
I thought that my Sanjin knights were praised to the heavens, but in the end they were defeated by the Yan people with less than half the number.
The Yan people can fight, and they will probably be successful in resisting the savages.
So the mentality of many people in Jin is extremely complicated right now. They hate the black dragon flag, but instinctively feel that this flag can bring them a sense of security.
When they camped every night during the march, Li Yiyong would come to the big tent to report the situation to Zheng Fan. Zheng Fan was very solemn at first, discussing with him, and even talked about the art of war.
After all, General Zheng is a master who has seen the world, and he has always followed the generals and marquises who can fight to observe them closely. Even a Garfield cat who has been nurtured in this way can give pointers in the military. Ordered.
But after a few days, Zheng Fan got bored and just said, "You can make up your own mind, that's all." Li Yiyong thought this was Zheng Fan's test for him. Regardless of whether Zheng Fan saw him or not, he came to the tent on time every night to say hello.
Actually, it was Li Yiyong who thought too much. Regarding the military, Zheng Fan had always been the hands-off boss., Liang Cheng is responsible for military training, Blind Man is responsible for political and ideological education, and Zheng Fan is only responsible for enjoying the neat rows of soldiers and the loud slogans on the school field during the military parade.
In this way, at an unhurried speed, the army finally returned to Shengle City.
On the top of Shengle City, the blind man and Siniang stood side by side.
"The Lord has been promoted and became a general." The blind man said.
"I don't understand the military system of Yan State very well." Siniang said.
"I guess the Yan people don't understand it very well." The blind man replied, "But it should be bigger than the city guard. He can be regarded as the person in charge of a small combat zone."
"Who is responsible?" Siniang asked.
“It’s still Shengle City.”
“What’s the difference?”
“It sounds better.”
“That’s it. ."
"Didn't we get another five thousand Jin soldiers?"
"Another five thousand soldiers and horses will give them a headache."
< p>"We are not short of food now, are we?""Okay, we can eat beef and mutton every day, and then we can't do it in the second half of the year? The Yan army has just ruled here not long ago, and the foundation of its rule is still very weak, and the Yan country's native land is not How much food and supplies can be supported here and used locally? With the current scale of our Shengle City and the conditions in the nearby areas, how much can be squeezed out?"
The blind man rubbed his brows and said with emotion:
p>"There is no way, who told us to overthrow the troops too much."
In fact, at the beginning, everyone unanimously determined that the main spirit should be the dog and the species should be The ground is the general direction of basic operations.
But the plan cannot keep up with the changes. Due to various chances and coincidences, your military population continues to increase sharply, and related to this, the relative weakness in other aspects is even more obvious. .
Thanks to the treasures collected several times and the seizures from the last attack on the snowfield, the "wealth" of Shengle City is still very high, but every day and every month there are red losses, which is far from the green Profits are still far away.
In addition, the Lord has brought back five thousand soldiers and horses this time, it is no wonder that Si Niang feels a headache.
"I guess a war is about to begin. As long as the war starts, all the problems will be solved."
War is the fastest way to make money.
“I hope so. Let’s go down and greet the Lord.”
…………
After entering the city, Zheng Fan first asked Liang Cheng to take the local guests with him. General Le Yizhi went to have a meal with the generals under Li Yiyong, seizing the time to connect with each other.
Zheng Fan himself took A Ming back to the city guard's house first. Oh no,
Zheng Fan took a few steps back when he came to the door of his house.
"The General's Mansion?"
So fast?
Six Niang covered her mouth and said with a smile: "My lord, San'er did it all night. I started working immediately after receiving the news about your promotion, my lord.". ”
“This is the General’s Mansion. Will it exceed the rules?” "Zheng Fan looked at the blind man with some worry.
"The Yan people themselves can't figure out their own military system. It's not a big problem, my lord. "
"Oh, okay, let's do this first. ”
After entering the mansion, everyone gathered together for a small reunion dinner according to custom.
Except Liang Cheng who wanted to greet the people in the army, the other demon kings also participated.
On the return trip, Zheng Fan had already sent a letter to Shengle City through a messenger, so both parties had some understanding of what happened to them.
As soon as they sat down, Zheng Fan had hugged a baby. It was a boy. He was pink and fleshy. You could see Tian Wujing’s shadow from his eyebrows.
“Little thing, my name is Qian. Dad, call me godfather. ”
“My lord, the child is still young. "Siniang said.
"I know, I know. "
Immediately, Zheng Fan's eyes wandered around, and he said curiously:
"Blind man, where is the Sword Master? "
Si Niang couldn't help but joked: "My Lord must have been a Pokémon player in his previous life. "
Pokémon players means collectors.
"He is temporarily living in an inn on Front Street. "
"Okay, take me to see him after dinner. Tian Wujing gave Long Yuan to me. It's really a coincidence that I can get such a master by my side. No, even if it's just in the city, it's still worth it no matter how much you spend. ”
There is the Baili Sword in Shangjing City, and the Wei Zhong River in Yanjing City. To put it bluntly, although the strong men in this world do not have the ability to move mountains and fill seas, if If you are determined to play a decapitation tactic or something, you will be really passive if you don't have a guard of the same level by your side.
If the Sword Master can live in Shengle City, Zheng Fan will never sleep in the future. Feeling more at ease.
After a simple meal, Zheng Fan and the blind man took Long Yuan Sword and prepared to go to the inn. Unexpectedly, as soon as they left the house, they saw Xiao Yibo sending an urgent letter of eight hundred miles. .
…………
Outside the only small courtyard room in the inn, the little sword boy was standing there practicing his sword, and the sword master was sitting on a small bench, holding a sword in his hand. He was drinking a pot of tea.
Fan Li was squatting aside, stupidly watching the little sword boy practicing his sword. It was the little sword boy who forced him to come.
After practicing for three weeks, the sword master signaled the little swordsman to stop. She was born with a sword embryo and had excellent aptitude, so there was no need to cultivate it. It would be most appropriate for her to practice more specifically when she reaches ten years old and her body bones have grown longer.
What Yuan Zhenxing can understand, it’s impossible for the Sword Master not to understand.
“Huh, I’m exhausted. "
The little sword boy sat on the ground and panted.
"Haha. "
The sword master smiled when he saw this. He really liked this apprentice, so he was kind to her.
"Master, do you think that if the barbarians don't come, will you still stay here?"
"If the barbarians don't come, I will take you to Chengguo. I will be here as a teacher." Chengguo is the only one left in the world who can still give me a sense of belonging."
"But I am a Ganren."
" When you grow up and finish your studies, you can go wherever you want, including returning to Qian Country."
"That's what I think, but that's not what they think anymore."< /p>
"Which one of them?"
"That blind man, he said he doesn't know if there will be a Qian Kingdom in the future."
The Sword Master shook his head and sighed. :
"Who knows, just like I don't know yet whether I will become a country in the future."
The only one left in the land of the Three Jins The political power established by the Jin people was a country.
The little sword boy looked at Fan Li again and said:
"You idiot, will you accompany me to Chengguo in the future?"
Fan Li Han smiled honestly, neither nodding nor shaking his head.
At this time, the Sword Master shouted:
"Come in."
Zheng Fan came in, holding the Long Yuan Sword in his hand, while the blind man Follow behind.
The Sword Master stretched his hand forward,
Suddenly,
Long Yuan in Zheng Fan’s hand trembled, took the initiative to unsheath it, and flew into the Sword Master’s hand middle.
"Haha."
The sword master stroked the sword and said with emotion:
"Tian Wujing, it's okay. "Mr. Sword Master, junior Zheng Fan..."
"Oh, don't say anything. Send me a set of armor tomorrow and I'll go east." I'll help you guard the city gate."
"No, Lord Sword Master misunderstood. I just think that the sword Long Yuan must remain in your hand to avoid being buried, not for the sake of it. I want to make this bet with you."
"I can't afford to lose?"
"Of course not"
"That's it. ."
"But still..."
"Nothing can be done. What is settled is that it is settled. I will guard the east gate for you for three months. If the savages come within a few months, no savages will come in from the east gate before Longyuan is broken.
If the savages don’t come within three months, I will take her to Chengguo. Are you willing?"
Zheng Fan nodded and said:
"Yes?"
Jian. Sheng was a little surprised, because he didn't believe that Zheng Fan would be so willing to give up on himself.
At the same time, he didn't believe that Zheng Fan didn't know the value of this little sword boy.
This little sword boy has extraordinary qualifications and has a complete inheritance from Yuan Zhenxing. Twenty years later, not to mention reaching his own level, but becoming half a sword master, there is still no problem.
Zheng Fan agreed, which was so refreshing.
Zheng Fan sighed and said:
"I want Master Sword Master to know that just now, I received a military information document, which said..."
"What did you say?"
"It is said that the Emperor of Chengguo, Situ Lei, has issued a letter of credence to Yanjing and asked His Majesty, the Emperor of Dayan, to annex Chengguo. My lord, you want to return to Chengguo. , The younger generation can understand, but if nothing happens, Chengguo will soon become the territory of Yanguo.
So, it makes no difference whether you stay here or go to Chengguo. ”
p>At this moment,
Fan Li, who had been squatting there silently, suddenly said:
"Sword Master, you have nothing to do with your family."
