The pace of the war began to accelerate.
In Yingdu City, various government offices began to operate rapidly. If the eldest prince was just maintaining this basic situation when he served as the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, then when Jingnanhou came here, The bureaucracy here suddenly became extremely efficient.
In terms of what needs to be done, what needs to be raised, the support and rationing of various troops and horses, etc., Jingnanhou is only responsible for approving the notes, which will be quickly passed on to the relevant departments.
If it doesn't work, don't worry, just kill the chief officer and the adjutant will take over. If it doesn't work well, keep killing him.
No one in Yingdu City dared to have any objections, at least, there were no objections on the surface, and the yamen at all levels began to operate desperately.
This is the value brought by prestige. Of course, there is also the blessing of Marquis Jingnan himself who has a "bad reputation".
Things that the eldest prince cannot or dare not do are nothing to the Marquis of Jingnan.
The so-called law does not punish the public, and no one dares to join forces to protest or anything like that, because everyone knows that this master really knows how to kill people, and he can do it without any hesitation. Kill without hesitation.
Compared with the east bank of Wangjiang River, there is a very clear difference between the west bank of Wangjiang River and the east bank of Wangjiang River. That is, the west bank still retains a relatively complete governance system, and all levels of yamen can also operate.
Although there is a war, the spring plowing and the recent autumn harvest have actually been completed reluctantly, and the organizational strength in other aspects is still there.
At the same time, because the Yan people are a new foreign regime, they are also an extremely powerful deterrent to local family forces. The local forces in Chengguo originally dared to compete with the local officials of Chengguo, but when they saw the Yan people, they not only refused to If you dare to resist, you will take the initiative to offer and flatter.
This is how people are, and so is human nature.
On the contrary, on the east bank of Wangjiang River, after the savages entered the pass, they only focused on burning, killing, looting, and doing business of fishing in the dry marsh.
Gold, silver, wealth, population, etc., maybe he is afraid of poverty, and even wants to move to the snowy field when he sees the iron pot.
The puppet regime originally established by Situ Yi was just a layer of window paper, with little control over the local area. Although the Yan people were defeated in the last battle of Wangjiang, the barbarians and Chu people also defeated Situ Yi. The new dynasty he established was sold, and after losing the few troops that still supported him, Situ Yi, the new "Chengguo" emperor, even the "capital" of Yupan City was occupied by Qu Tiannan, and he I could only take my younger brother to a small county further east called Fengxin and establish a new capital, which was nicknamed "Moving the Capital".
For this reason, it is not an exaggeration to say that the entire east bank of Wangjiang River is in a state of anarchy.
This should not be the situation that the Savage King wants to see, but it is also a situation that the Savage King cannot change, because after the Savage enters the border, he simply cannot control the Savage Warriors under his command to burn, kill, and loot. .
A group of cavalry galloped on the west bank of Wangjiang River, re-confirming the position of crossing the river tomorrow.
In the afternoon, everyone took a rest.
In the evening, civilians should arrive here. Although the river is frozen, which makes crossing the river less difficult, if you want to quickly cross the river with nearly 10,000 people and horses, you still need to cross the river quickly. Make some preparations.
In fact, after the Wangjiang defense line freezes, its defensiveness drops by more than 80%. When the water surface freezes, the speed of passage will be greatly increased and the difficulty will be greatly reduced, making it impossible for the defenders to Make effective and timely interceptions.
Jin Shuke delivered his treasured wind oil essence to the eldest prince,
"If you apply, just apply it under your nose."
The eldest prince. The prince nodded, took some, applied it under his nose, took a deep breath, and felt refreshed.
“This stuff is pretty good.”
“No, unfortunately I only have one bottle left with me. I’ll wait until next time, after the war is over, and I’ll get it after I return to Shengle. I'll give it to you soon."
"Thank you."
"I can't thank you, I really can't thank you. You are a noble person, and we don't agree with you."
p>
"Tacitly understood?"
"Oh, yes, haha."
Jin Shuke touched his head with some honesty.
In fact, anyone who is not a fool can figure out the identity of the eldest prince, because his mount...
The black Pixiu is too conspicuous, and the entire Yan** It’s really easy to guess the identity of the person in the team who is this age and has this mount.
This time there is no need to study metal arts, it is equivalent to an open-book exam.
You must serve this man well, and you must also be careful.
However, Zheng Fan had another consideration for leaving the eldest prince in this team, that is, more than half of the people under Jin Shuke's command were barbarians and had been brainwashed by the blind man. The group of people who have the longest lasting effect and are also the most loyal to General Zheng.
Tian Wujing wanted to leave the eldest prince to him. Zheng Fan could not refuse, but he had to ensure that the surname of this army was always Zheng.
Alchemy is a blind man's favorite student who has been tested, and it can definitely withstand the test ideologically and politically.
If he were under the command of another Jin general, he would probably think of changing his thighs. After all, even though Prince Dayan had just lost the battle, his thighs looked thicker and more fragrant than General Zheng's.
Using oneself to save others, General Zheng felt that if he were thrown into that position, he would probably not be able to resist hugging him.
It is true that the eldest prince would not do such a thing under normal circumstances, and Tian Wujing would not allow such a thing to happen, but precautions must be taken, otherwise Zheng Fan himself You will feel diaphragmatic.
The eldest prince said:
"This time we are going to cross the river from here and harass the Chu army behind them. I just don't know why we are not allowed to attack the barbarians behind them."
p>
It seemed like he was asking, but also like he was talking to himself.
Since you have lost the battle, thenThe eldest prince began to study Tian Wujing's strategy. The men of the Ji family, especially these princes, were particularly resilient under the ravages of the emperor.
Zheng Fan once joked with the blind man that despite the brutal education methods of Emperor Yan, the success rates of the princes were really high. In future generations, Emperor Yan could have written "On Education with Frustrations" "Excellence", directly transformed into an education master.
Jin Shuke heard the words, smiled, took a sip of water from his water bag, and said:
"Because Chu people are prone to food shortage, but savages will not be short of food."
"Why? The Chu people must have brought a lot of food and grass with them when they went on an expedition, and during this period, they should also have received support from the territory of Chu State. The savages only knew how to kill, loot, and plunder. There was a lot of food and grass. Everything has been transported back to the snowfield."
Jin Shuke smiled unnaturally,
and said:
"Because the savages know how to herd animals. ."
"Grazing now?"
"Yes, they can eat sheep."
"No, it's impossible, there are not enough sheep." The eldest prince said firmly.
He is not the kind of prince who always stays at the gate of the prince's mansion without leaving the gate. He knows exactly what cattle and sheep mean to the herdsmen. It is equivalent to the land of the people in the Central Plains. Are you willing to eat whatever you want?
Jin Shuke shook his head and said:
"Do you know that there is a kind of sheep, which has two legs."
"..." The eldest prince.
The atmosphere suddenly became silent.
After a long time, the eldest prince nodded and bit his lip to indicate that he understood.
Is it because Tian Wujing only attacked the Chu people's food roads and rear areas because he already knew that the savages would do that?
Jin Shu knows this because he did this to the Yan people in the early years when the barbarians were strong.
But now, with the desert being weak and the Yan people being strong, it is almost impossible to do that again.
"Noble man, in my opinion, the savages are just a group of wolf cubs. Even though they are dancing fiercely now, they are no match for the tiger after all. To deal with the savages, you only need to find a suitable opportunity and fight head-on. After he charges, it will be clear who is stronger and who is weaker."
Savages are very similar to barbarians to a certain extent,
but barbarians have always looked down on them.
Metalism also has this mentality.
I can’t defeat the Yan people, so I can’t deal with you?
"On the contrary, it is the Chu State. I think they are harder to deal with. On the battlefield, the last thing you want to face is an orderly opponent."
The eldest prince Hearing this, he nodded. He had fought against the Chu people. In order to cut off his rear, Li Bao led his army and died on the east bank.
The Qingluan Army of the Chu people is indeed elite.
"The Chu people's infantry phalanx is not easy to chew."
The Chu people are extremely strong in infantry combat, and they have a complete range of troops, even in the wildernessAs long as the Chu people formed a formation, it would be difficult for the cavalry to find a place to exit.
Jin Shu said ridiculously:
“That’s why we have to trap the Chu people.”
The eldest prince took advantage of the situation and asked:
“ What about after we’re trapped? Let’s attack the city?”
“We’ll fight the wild people after we’re trapped.”
The eldest prince suddenly felt that the barbarian man in front of him was very different, really different, because the eldest prince had a hunch that this commander named Jin Shuke was now his nominal name. "Shangguan", he seems to have guessed Jingnan Hou's next strategic plan.
The eldest prince immediately sat cross-legged, facing Jin Shuke, and said:
"Tell me more about it."
Jin Shuke was also a little excited. You like to talk, but there are some things you cannot say because there is no suitable audience around you.
"The savages, to put it bluntly, are nothing more than a group of mad dogs, but the Chu people are different. The Chu people can build cities and defend them;
Why is the current situation in Wangjiang so difficult to fight? , isn’t it because of the Chu people’s interference?
The Chu people and the barbarians actually complement each other on the east bank of Wangjiang River.”
“Uh...”< /p>
The eldest prince did not remind others that he said the words wrong again, as long as he could understand them.
"Without the savages, the Chu people would not be able to use their skills at all. They could only be beaten passively in front of our cavalry, because the existence of the savages makes up for their shortcomings in this aspect.
And if the savages Without the Chu people, there are no Chu people here to occupy and defend Yupan City. Their outcome is to fight or retreat.
Because of the appearance of the Chu people, the barbarians have no choice. We are qualified to fight.
This is called fighting... fighting... strategic space, yes, that's the word.
So, if we trap the Chu people, the savages will definitely save them. , the king of the savages, even Mr. Bei said he was a great character. He would never set fire across the river. Is that called setting fire? "
"Watching fire"
" Oh, yes, in the final analysis, we are still stronger. Although we lost once, counting our Zheng Family Army... No,
Counting our Sheng Le Army, a total of 50,000 Jingnan Army came, then A marquis has also come and said something that you don't like to hear, noble man. The name of the shadow tree is that the marquis is standing in the back and you were standing in the back. It gives us soldiers a different feeling. "
"I know." The eldest prince nodded.
He does not deny this, nor will he deny it.
What a military god can bring to an army is not only tactical and strategic advantages, but also the addition to the morale and confidence of the soldiers is extremely terrifying.
The eldest prince asked again:
"Then, how should we fight the savages?"
"Hey, what's so difficult about this? Mount your horse and charge. After two rounds of riding and shooting, you can just draw your knife and hit him directly. In terms of riding and shooting skills,My Lord, your Zhenbei Army and Jingnan Army are really no worse than barbarians like us. Why are you afraid of barbarians?
In fact, there is no other twists and turns in fighting savages. In my opinion, it is just like fighting between two groups of wild dogs. The strongest and most capable one must be placed in the middle, and Fight on the other side and do it!
As long as the most capable group on the opposite side is defeated and defeated, the courage of the rest will be gone.
Last time, the reason why the Left Army was so completely defeated was because that group of people was really..."
At this point, Jin Shuke shut his mouth. Realizing that he seemed to have said too much, the eldest prince closed his eyes, took a deep breath, nodded, and said: "It's my fault. "
My fault is that I think too much, my fault is that I am too cautious, and my fault is that I forcefully think about complicated things that can be simple.
"Noble man , your temper is really good, haha. ”
“I also grew up in the military. ”
“Haha, really, what, maybe I am not allowed to say these words, nor am I qualified to say them, but noble man, Mr. Bei once said that failure is the mother of success;
< p>Don't be discouraged, just get up again in the future, your capital is stronger than ten thousand people. ""General Zheng has a general like you, which is really enviable. ”
The implication of these words can actually be understood as a hint.
Because everyone knows that the eldest prince cannot be a captain under the Shengle Army forever.< /p>
But Jinshu just pretended that he didn’t understand.
The eldest prince just thought that he was a little impatient and resolved the embarrassment by saying:
“I Take a few more people over there to check again to make sure there are no spies from the Chu people. "
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. ”
“This is what I should do. "
When the eldest prince left,
a barbarian soldier approached Jin Shuke and whispered:
"Jin Shuke, that Yan country My dear, I seem to appreciate you very much. You are going to be prosperous. ”
A disdainful smile appeared on the corner of Jin Shuke’s mouth.
He stretched out his hand and patted the helmet of the barbarian soldier unceremoniously,
swearing:
“Forgot who gave you food? "
"No, I dare not. Me, I'm just happy for you. "
"Happy? "
Jin Shuke snorted, his face not showing the slightest respect when he faced the eldest prince before.
He said coldly:
"Yan All human nobles treat us like dogs, but General Zheng is the only one who really treats us like humans.
I am from a prisoner tribe. I have had enough of being a dog.
Now,
I want to be a human being. ”
