As night fell, the cold began to increase. Outside the big tent, soldiers had already set up pots and began to cook ginger soup. Each general who entered and came out of the big tent could get a bowl.
Jingnan Hou refused Situ Yu’s invitation to welcome the wind and wash the dust. He did not even enter Yingdu City, but directly entered a military stronghold outside the city.
Immediately,
military orders were issued,
all guerrilla generals and above in the Eastern Expedition Army must come to their commander's tent to discuss matters.
In fact, many people knew before that the arrival of Marquis Jingnan would definitely mark the rekindling of the war between the two sides, but not many people would have thought that it would ignite so quickly.
Rather than saying this was a military meeting, it was better to say that Marquis Jingnan was giving instructions purely. He didn’t even have to wait for everyone to arrive. Instead, he would let people know who was coming. Wait outside for a while, and then someone will come out, and then you go in. Sometimes a general goes in alone, and sometimes three or four go in together and come out together.
Zheng Fan belongs to the group who has been waiting outside the big tent, along with Chen Yang.
The two people sat facing each other, holding ginger soup in their hands and sipping it.
On a winter night, paired with the armor on the body, it is not too sour and refreshing, as if it is covered with "cold babies".
It doesn't matter if the bones of the body are open. What I fear most is that it is a kind of torture to stay in one place without any place to keep out the cold.
But there is nothing we can do about it. When Marquis Jingnan was summoned, senior generals rushed over to take orders, fearing that they would be delayed in the slightest. Why, I asked you to wait outside the tent for a while. You Still want to warm yourself up in a conservatory? How about some barbecue for appetizers?
Should I give you another maid to help warm the blanket?
They are all military leaders with many soldiers and horses in their hands, but at this time, they all shrank like ordinary Qiu Ba. Even when they reached out to take the ginger soup, they had a smile on their faces. He also said "thank you" politely.
This is the difference in prestige in the army. No matter which army you were in before, you have to be embarrassed in front of Nanhou.
Zheng Fan has already drank his third bowl of ginger soup and feels the taste of ginger juice between his teeth.
Finally, the eldest prince reached out and opened the tent curtain and walked out, saying to Chen Yang:
"The commander-in-chief invites you."
Chen Yang faced the eldest prince He hugged his fists, put down the bowl, stood up and walked into the handsome tent.
The eldest prince sat in Chen Yang's previous seat, reaching out to take a bowl of ginger soup and saying to Zheng Fan:
"When he comes out, you go in."
"Yes."
Yesterday's head coach of the Eastern Expedition has now become a Ge Shiha under the new commander's account, which means a guard.
But you won’t see much loneliness on the eldest prince’s face. Instead, you can feel that his whole person is much more lively than before, and the gloomy aura has also dissipated.
Furthermore, anyone who is not a fool knows that Marquis Jingnan put the eldest prince next to him not because he wanted to humiliate him, nor because he wanted to use the eldest prince to establish his authority, but because he was the prince. An elder, when he came forward to put an end to the younger generation's wrongdoing, he specifically asked the younger generation to watch and teach him what should be done.
This is the true behavior of elders, and what kind of elders are those who only point fingers at you at the New Year dinner table?
Inexplicably,
Zheng Fan is still a little jealous in his heart.
You must know that in the past, this kind of treatment was basically something that only he could enjoy.
"General Zheng, is this the first time you and I have met seriously?" the eldest prince said, "When we were in Yanjing, my sixth brother often mentioned you and you. Those golden words he said made His Highness laugh.
The eldest prince didn’t seem to have much intention of talking to each other, so he just said:
In the past, I thought I didn’t know how to fight, but at least I had figured out some skills. Now that I think about it, I’m really far behind.”
Zheng Fan was keenly aware of the eldest prince’s emotion. , should be derived from the military orders previously issued in the commander's tent. The eldest prince has been going in and out of the commander's tent and delivering messages. The orders issued by the Marquis of Jingnan to the generals must not be hidden from him, so there is Feeling.
According to Zheng Fan’s previous understanding, the Eastern Expedition army was originally led by the eldest prince and followed a steady and steady route. Judging from the eldest prince’s current feelings, it is estimated that Jingnan Marquis should have changed it as soon as he arrived. The strategy was changed, and it was not a minor modification, but a major modification. It could even be said that it directly subverted the original combat thinking.
Sometimes, denying a person is not a serious matter. What is more serious is denying that person’s thoughts and policies.
Zheng Fan didn’t know how to comfort the eldest prince. In fact, he felt that the eldest prince did not need to be comforted.
A messenger came from outside to report that the 30,000 Jingnan Army led by Marquis Jingnan had also arrived. Previously, Marquis Jingnan led a group of troops to arrive first, and the army followed behind.
Hearing this, the eldest prince drank the ginger soup in the bowl without caring about scalding his mouth. He stood up, went in to report, and then came out quickly and sat back down. Location.
The guard wanted to hand Zheng Fan the fourth bowl of ginger, but Zheng Fan refused. He looked up at the sky and saw that the sky was already slightly white. He had been waiting outside all night.
Originally, Zheng Fan thought about meeting Tian Wujing privately and chatting about the situation of the little Marquis at his place. How cute and smart he is. He can crawl in just a few months. When he gets a little older, There is actually a tendency to start learning to speak.
It can be said that both physical and mental development are rapid.
The effectiveness of Magic Pills in raising children is indeed outstanding. Other parents cannot find such an excellent preschool education.
Dan JingNanhou didn't give himself this opportunity, maybe it was too late, because he had to make many decisions as soon as he came.
After a while, Chen Yang came out. He stretched, pointed at Zheng Fan and the eldest prince, and then said:
"I will go back to the camp first. "
Basically, all the generals who came out of the commander's tent returned to their headquarters without any delay, probably to start preparing something.
This is the style of Marquis Jingnan that Zheng Fan is familiar with. However, it can be seen from this that although Marquis Jingnan has been closed in the Marquis Mansion, his contact with the outside world is obviously not isolated. Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible to deal with the eldest prince directly as soon as he comes and issue military orders so quickly.
Of course, this is a matter of course. Even the people in the Yan Kingdom's court would be the ones who would be anxious if they learned that the Marquis of Jingnan was determined to be a homebody for half a year.
Although Yan State is said to be powerful in today's world, Zheng Fan, who is in it, also knows that Yan State is still in the stage of puffiness and obesity.
The Qian Kingdom is heavily armed, while the Chu Kingdom appears to be in chaos but is actually dormant. The savages are arrogant and the barbarians are watching. Under such circumstances, a figure like Tian Wujing is equivalent to a country's strategic nuclear weapon. It is far from the time when horses are released in Nanshan, and it is far from the time when donkeys are slaughtered.
The eldest prince stood up,
"General Zheng, come in with me."
Zheng Fan nodded, stood up, patted his stiff knees, Then he followed the eldest prince into the big tent.
There is no brazier in the handsome tent.
No wonder all the generals were shivering with cold whether they came in or came out.
The most important thing is that when you face Tian Wujing alone here, you can clearly feel that the temperature inside is lower than outside.
Because the eldest prince was present, Zheng Fan looked very serious and knelt down to salute:
"General Zheng Fan, please wait for the order from the Marquis!"
< p>"Zheng Fan, how many troops did your headquarters bring this time?""If I return to the Marquis, ten thousand."
"Can it stand up to a battle?"
p>Zheng Fan pursed his lips and replied directly:
"Military morale, morale, ordnance, and war horses are all excellent. The general believes that even if he is not as good as the elite of the Jingnan Army Headquarters , But it won’t be much worse.”
Before, when the eldest prince was the coach, he had to hide it. Now that the Marquis is the coach, as a member of his family, he must take the initiative to help. .
Zheng Fan’s subordinates are mainly Jin soldiers and knights of the Three Jin Dynasties. Their quality is not bad. In addition, he provides good food, drink, armor and horses. Liang Cheng is responsible for the ideological education of the blind man. The difference between training and the real Jingnan Army and the Zhenbei Army may be just the stacking of victories.
When an army gets used to winning battles, its quality will change again.
The most important problem for the Three-Jined Knights is still the originalWhen the two princes of the Yan Kingdom entered the Jin Dynasty, they were beaten so hard that their confidence was shattered.
"Okay, General Shengle comes forward and listens to the order!"
"The last general is here!"
"I order your entire army to arrive the day after tomorrow Cross the river from the lower reaches, march eastward for eighty miles, and stay active on the east bank of the river for ten days. Before crossing the river, the entire army is only allowed to carry three days of food and grass.
You can hold back on the east bank without beheading the enemy. You can hold it in for as long as you want. After ten days, every time it exceeds one day, one day's merit will be recorded.
But there is a prerequisite. If the army is completely lost, even if you, Zheng Fan, come back alive, I will. Punish you!"
Um...
What kind of military order is this?
Let me lead the army to travel to Jiangdong?
You don’t tell me where to fight, and you don’t tell me who to kill?
However, Zheng Fan quickly understood that this was to allow him to harass the rear.
At present, Chengguo is divided into two parts. The part upstream of Wangjiang River all the way to Xueguan is the area of savages, and the downstream part to Zhennanguan, which was originally used by the Situ family to guard, is the area of Chu people. turf.
Since he wants to lead his army to cross the river from the lower reaches, he must go to the rear of the Chu people's territory to harass them. All he has to do is cut off the Chu people's supply lines, and at the same time...... supply the enemy with food. .
Jingnan Hou looked at the eldest prince again and said:
"Ji Wujiang."
"The crime will be here!"
The eldest prince knelt down.
"You join the Shengle Army and serve as a captain under General Shengle."
"I will obey the order!"
Zheng Fan wanted to refuse, but he Why do you want to take in this prince?
It’s enough for Sheng Le’s army to provide him with a waste, but he also needs to provide him with another uncle?
But looking at Jingnanhou's attitude, Zheng Fan really didn't dare to have the courage to smile and make jokes in front of Jingnanhou.
When we meet again half a year later, Tian Wujing’s impression is completely different.
Zheng Fan still remembers that in the Tianduan Mountains, Tian Wujing asked him about women doing confinement. At that time, Zheng Fan clearly felt that Tian Wujing's "human flavor" began to change. Much more.
But when they met again, Zheng Fan found that that aura had disappeared from Marquis Jingnan.
After a while,
Jingnan Hou leaned back slightly and said:
"Learn from General Sheng Le." Learn how to fight."
"Yes, Wujiang knows."
As he said that, the eldest prince turned and knelt down to Zheng Fan. :
"Wujiang has been under the command of General Sheng Le since then and obeys the general's orders!"
"Don't you think you are very stable and cautious in fighting, General Sheng Le? But he is an expert in this field."
"..." Zheng Fan.
Another meaning of this sentence is, don’t you think you are very stubborn?You go and follow Zheng Fan to see who the real King Gou is.
"The eldest prince, please get up quickly."
"General, there are only soldiers and generals in the army, not princes." The eldest prince said directly, which also showed his attitude.
"Go down and pass on Li Fusheng."
"Yes."
"Yes."
Zheng Fan bowed and resigned. He wanted to stay a little longer and talk to Tian Wujing about the young marquis, but Tian Wujing just closed his eyes and had no intention of leaving himself alone to talk.
Seeing this, Zheng Fan could only follow the eldest prince out of the handsome tent.
Zheng Fan walked in front, and the eldest prince followed behind.
"Your Highness, each general has his own separate order, right?"
"Yes, if the general wants to know, he can tell the general about other armies after returning to camp. Deployment and mission."
"Is it convenient?"
"The general will act according to General Zheng's orders now."
"Tsk, no, Your Highness. There is no need for us to be so fussy. Can we be more casual? As for me, I will treat you as a lieutenant under me, and you, treat me as a general. We just have to know some things, so to speak. Let's just be more natural, okay?"
"The general will obey."
Zheng Fan reached out and patted the eldest prince on the shoulder,
"... ..." The eldest prince.
"I don't want to make a fool of myself. I am a small person. I have offended many people in the past. Please don't keep it in mind, Your Highness."
"General Zheng was not afraid of offending before. I, why am I now..."
"You used to be the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Expedition Army, and you wouldn't take it seriously if I offended you. Now that you are not, it's easier to hold grudges."< /p>
"General Zheng's words do seem to make sense. It's no wonder that Sixth Brother said that General Zheng can always speak wise words."
"I heard that His Highness the Sixth Prince is ill. Is he seriously ill?"
"Wujiang is not sure."
"Oh."
Zheng Fan sighed and shook his head.
Looking back,
Looked at the handsome tent behind him again,
This is the same,
He is also the father who is the shopkeeper. The co-authored son is yours, and you didn’t even ask?
Bah, you scumbag.
"General Zheng."
At this time, a Jingnan military captain came over.
Zheng Fan stopped, looked at him, and asked:
"What's the matter?"
"I, the Jingnan Army, are following Lord Marquis on this expedition. The headquarters is here."
"Well, brothers, you've had a hard time on the road."
"This time the army also brought a newly grown Pixiu, which the Marquis specially ordered to bring. , He said that he had promised to give you one as a reward for your merits.
I would like to ask General Zheng to go with the last general to pick it up from the military stable.How to raise and cultivate feelings... With His Highness here, I won't say much. "
Pixiu? Send it to me?
Zheng Fan opened his mouth slightly,
A warm current suddenly emerged in his heart,
Immediately He turned around and knelt down on one knee facing the handsome account,
"I will thank the Marquis for your reward!" ”
