"Ali."
"Yes, Lord."
"Go and see if the two salted fish are salted. If they are, you can do it yourself. Hang them up on the tower for an exhibition."
"Okay, sir."
Fan Li turned around and went directly.
Zheng Fan reached out and patted the battlements and said, "What should we do next?"
Liang Cheng said: "Your Majesty, we have actually penetrated quite far. "
The Three Jins are very large, but Chengguo, the original sphere of influence of the Situ family, is less than half of the Three Jins. In terms of size, it is larger than the Helian family. It's bigger than Wen Renjia alone, but it's still smaller than the two combined.
Wangjiang cut Chengguo almost vertically from the origin of Tianduan Mountains, dividing Chengguo into two. At present, Shengle's army has crossed Wangjiang and penetrated hundreds of miles. It can be said that it is already quite reliable. East.
A Ming, who was standing on the side, said: "That's nonsense."
Zheng Fan nodded and said, "I understand."
A Ming : "..."
A Ming suddenly felt that after Fan Li left, a new IQ depression appeared here.
When a person who is usually cool and indifferent finds that he suddenly cannot participate in the topic and does not understand the points of his friends, he will often panic and feel very uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Zheng Fan immediately continued:
"Theoretically, it is possible, but if it goes too far, will it have any negative effects? ”
Liang Cheng smiled and said:
“Your Majesty, the Marquis of Jingnan treated us as a surprise force and went deep across the river. He did not treat us as a concrete unit.”
His only requirement is to preserve and survive in Jiangdong as much as possible, and to maintain the effect of our existence as much as possible.
So, theoretically speaking, no matter what kind of battle is going to happen in Wangjiang, our troops should not be included in the Jingnan Marquis case. "< /p>
The meaning is very simple. Since it is a surprise weapon, it may have miraculous effects. At the same time, it may not make any splash at all.
This is a variable. According to Jingnan Hou’s strategy of using troops, if he plays this move, he will play it. When the game is played head-on, he will not naively expect this chess piece to perform. What a miraculous effect.
So,
Even if Sheng Lejun is working as a foreigner in Fengxin City to bask in the sun, it will not have any impact on the battle situation on the front line.
A Ming continued to have a cold face, and at the same time reached out and took out his bottle of wine and took a sip to relieve the embarrassment.
He,
still didn’t understand.
Zheng Fan spread his arms, stretched, and said to Liang Cheng:
"Up or down?"
"If you go down, can you get up? to particularly good resultsfruit. "
Zheng Fan smacked his lips and said, "But if you go up there, you may never come back." ”
A Ming felt that the two of them should have done it on purpose. Moreover, what surprised A Ming was that before he knew it, Zheng Fan had grown to this level and could actually let himself experience it for a while. Arrived... Unexpectedly
Then,
A scene that shocked A Ming appeared.
Zheng Fan turned to look at A Ming, < /p>
Ask:
“A Ming, what do you think? ”
I don’t understand what up and down mean, how can I feel it?
But I can’t be like that idiot Fan Li, who pats his head and admits with a simple smile that he heard it. I don’t understand,
A Ming could only say:
“Actually, it all makes sense, but you still have to listen to the Lord’s decision. "
Immediately,
In order to get rid of this embarrassing whirlpool,
A Ming said:
"My lord, the wine bottle is a bit empty. Now, I'm going to get some blood. ”
After a big battle, blood is the cheapest drink.
It would be too embarrassing to stay here any longer, so I can only escape with blood.
Zheng Fan continued to say to Liang Cheng:
“It is actually the safest way to go down and visit the border of Chu State. "
"But Your Majesty, you must know that since the Qingluan Army has been able to come over, it proves that the checkpoint originally used by the Situ family to defend Chu has been occupied by the Chu people.
Not to mention whether our army can pass the border when it goes south, even if it passes, it will be difficult to get any benefits if it goes deep into the Chu State.
Of course, if it is just to refresh your face and reputation, the effect may be good. ”
“I understand, it would be embarrassing if they were directly blocked by the Chu people’s city walls, and the Chu army only sent the Qingluan army to participate in the battle this time. Although there is still internal strife in the country, at least it is not as good as it seems on the surface. It looks so messy and careless. "
"Yes, if you go up and approach the Snow Customs line, it will actually have a very great restraint effect on the savages. What the savage king is doing now is actually recruiting warriors from the snowfield to go south. Entering the customs to replenish his troops and horses on the front line, while transporting the looted people, property and other things back to the snowy plains. Although he said verbally that this is the birthplace of their holy race, so they must defend it. But anyone can do a business that protects capital.
The Qingluan Army of the Chu people occupies the front line of Yupan City. It is more like a nail. When nailed there, it plays a great clamping effect on the battlefield. The subordinates feel that even if we cut off The Chu people's food route and the Chu army in Yupan City may not come out. In fact, they themselves are just like us, they are a lone army.
As for whether reinforcements will be sent from the Chu State, my subordinates feel that unless the situation on the front line is completely corrupted or the new Emperor Chu has pacified the Chu State, the Chu people should not be able to invade again in a short period of time. Add more troops and go north.
Therefore, weThe effect of being stuck here may not be big. "
Hearing this, Zheng Fan nodded, took the words, and continued:
"Moreover, there is another advantage to going up. Aren't the savages constantly killing them? Should we transport the looted items back to the snowfield? Then let them work for us while we cut off the beards. ”
When it comes to searching for things, there are really not many people who are more professional than the savages, because there are sword masters in the team, and at the same time, the two factors that Emperor Yan wants to rule here are not to completely destroy it. , Zheng Fan had to pay attention to his eating habits even if he wanted to plunder, but the savages were different. The savages completely scraped the ground, and it was said that even the tombs were dug up.
If these things can be snatched, Sheng Le will no longer have to worry about financial crises for a long time.
After the things snatched are accumulated to a certain extent, they will be enough. You can find a place to bury them. The team has Xue San, a master of traps, and Liang Cheng, a big zombie, who is often buried.
So their ability to hide things is absolutely superb.
Even if you want to find Jin Xiaowei, Xiling Warriors, etc.
Of course, the premise of all this is that the Yan Kingdom finally defeats the barbarians and regains the entire Jin land. On the basis of this, Zheng Fan still believes that with Marquis Jingnan in command, this battle will definitely be won.
As you go up, you will have a high probability of encountering the barbarian army. If you go, If you poke a savage in the anus, the savage's reaction will definitely be huge.
But you can't get the tiger's cubs without entering the tiger's den.
Most of the businesses that really make big money have to be self-defeating. You can do it with your head hanging on your waistband first.
However, Zheng Fan still suggested:
“Let’s stay in Fengxin City for three days first. The troops took a rest, and on the other hand, they also took a look at the Chu people's reaction. ”
“The Lord is wise. "
"Okay, that's it, but inform Xue San that he can take action first and turn north to open up the field of view for the army. ”
“I understand. "
Zheng Fan breathed a long sigh of relief and said leisurely:
"Although the route has been decided, I still feel guilty. Are we being too reckless? ”
“We have nothing to lose. Even if we really lose, we can make a comeback. There is no need to worry, Lord. It’s just a game. To put it bluntly, even if the Yan Kingdom is gone, we You can also take off your armor and return to the countryside, or at the worst, just open an inn again. "
"Haha, don't say it, sometimes I really feel that if I had continued to open an inn in Hutou City, my life might not have been as exciting as it is now, but I could still have a sense of tranquility. ”
“But we may have died in the civilian camp. "
The mood of recalling was ruined by this sentence.
Zheng Fan nodded,
said with emotion:
"Yes. . ”
Liang ChengSeeing that Zheng Fan stopped talking, he turned around and was about to leave, but Zheng Fan said again:
"A Cheng, the next step depends on you."
Liang Cheng slightly Somewhat surprised, he turned back to look at Zheng Fan and said:
"What are you talking about, Lord?"
"I don't think you are worse than Tian Wujing. Whether it’s in terms of strength or in terms of leading troops.”
This is true, the upper limit of every demon king is terrible.
Liang Cheng is no worse than Tian Wujing, the difference lies in his master.
The one above Jingnan Marquis is Yan Guo, who is the Emperor of Yan, and the one above Liang Cheng is Sheng Le, who is Zheng Fan.
In terms of strength, Liang Cheng's own strength is far from recovered, and it is still due to his own limitations.
So, in short, the difference between Liang Cheng and Jingnan Hou is that they have their own master who is holding them back crazily.
Liang Cheng nodded.
"A Cheng, there are so many soldiers and horses right now. The old rules are still the same. You have the final say on how to fight the war. As I mentioned before about hype and packaging, the most fundamental thing is to get real results. Go talk.
A hundred years ago, the first generation of Zhenbei Hou became famous in one battle, so we may not be able to do it."
Liang Cheng smiled,
said. :
"Don't worry, my lord, ten thousand riders are enough to do a lot of things."
Zheng Fan walked up to Liang Cheng, stretched out his hand and started patting his shoulders as usual, < /p>
"It's just like what you just said to me, don't be afraid of losing your family's foundation. If it's lost, we can just make more money. Isn't it just to earn money hard to be cool at critical moments?"< /p>
"I understand, Lord."
......
"All the food and grass have been burned by someone!"
Metalism can Command your men.
They had just defeated a small-scale Chengdu rebel team that had returned from the east to collect food. They didn’t know what happened to this team, but they were so unlucky that they didn’t encounter the rebels from before. The companions who had escaped from Fengxin City foolishly rushed towards Fengxin City, but were defeated by Jin Shuke's two hundred cavalry.
I’m too lazy to chase him, but the food he looted must be destroyed.
The grain depot in Fengxin City actually has the same treatment. In order to meet the food and drink expenses of the small court, the rebels under Situ Yi did a lot of harm. After all, it is a bandit den, and they want to eat meat. If you live a life of drinking, you have to plunder.
There is actually a lot of food accumulated in the granary, but food is different from goods after all. Goods are easy to store and hide, but food is not easy to handle, because Sheng Lejun needs to be transferred. So after keeping enough food and grass that you can carry, the rest of the food will be burned.
The cavalry even divided into several groups to break up the Wubao near Fengxin, burn their grain stores, and try to make this area enter a food shortage as much as possible.
These things were actually done without the knowledge of the Sword Master, but the Sword Master seemed to have had a premonition.Moreover, Zheng Fan had been vaccinated before, so during this period of time, he stayed in the military camp tent to meditate and recover without going out.
Jin Shuke reached out and patted the eldest prince on the shoulder, and said with a smile:
"My lord, is the injury not serious?"
The eldest prince nodded. , said: "It's not a big problem."
The eldest prince was injured in the battle to win the gate. In fact, the injury has not been fully healed. It may affect his fighting, but it does not affect his activities very much.
After all, it is the physique of a warrior that can endure roughness.
Jin Shuke raised his saber and shouted to his men: "Be quick, cook the food, and explore further north."
"Are we going north? ”
The eldest prince has always been his captain, and the stingy General Zheng really treats him as a captain, and is determined not to give him the opportunity to enter the commander's tent and meddle with his own military power.
So the eldest prince does not know the general policy of Sheng Lejun.
Jin Shuke replied: "I don't know either, but I guess it is. The general asked us to explore more to the north. We have to be careful on the next road."
p>You have to be careful, because if you go north, you will enter the savage-controlled area.
In the next few days, the eldest prince saw the caution of the barbarian general named Jin Shuke, although he had been verbally looking down on the barbarians and scolded them as being raised by little servants.
But when he was actually on the battlefield, every decision he made showed extremely clear caution.
The distribution of sentries, concealment when marching, the layout when resting at night, etc. are all meticulous.
These experiences all come from the survival of metal magic in the desert.
But at that time, his opponents were other barbarian tribes or the Zhenbei Army, but now, his opponents were replaced by savages.
While maintaining contact with the follow-up army, he continued to explore forward. Three days later, when everyone was chewing dry food by the stream, Jin Shuke showed a relaxed look on his face,
Said:
"These savage brats may have been extremely happy after entering the customs. From what they saw along the way, they probably forgot all about the people who ate."
To a certain extent, the snowfield savages are similar to the barbarians in some aspects because of their harsh living conditions.
But based on what we have seen and heard in the past three days, including the results of two tentative ambushes of small groups of savage soldiers, at least in this rear area, the savages can really be said to be a little unscrupulous. , too careless.
The eldest prince ate fried noodles in silence and listened to Jin Shuke's analysis. In the past, even if he was sent to the military for training, he was still one level behind the real grassroots.
Furthermore, the Zhenbei Army has always suppressed the barbarians in the desert. If you don't have the environment and mentality of a weak person, you really can't understand and understand some things.
"My lord, a little further north, there is a city there."
"Ming'an City." The eldest prince said.
As a former commander of the Eastern Expedition Army, the geographical symbols are naturally imprinted on his mind.
“Oh, so that’s what it’s called, haha, it should be a quarrying ground there.”
The population, property and other things plundered by the savage troops in front, When transporting back to the grassland, they will all pass through here. According to the capture and distribution, each tribe will send out escorted small leaders here to conduct transactions here.
Some tribes are short of people, some are short of iron, and some are short of other things. The spoils are redistributed here;
Then the people of each tribe continue to transport them in batches. Go back, pass the snow customs, and enter the snowfield.
Robbing in the front and dividing in the rear is a very primitive war mode, because one of the major characteristics of war is plunder.
Jin Shu is very familiar with this method, because the desert tribes do this every time they join forces to attack a place. In Mr. Bei's words, this is the behavior of a group of uncivilized bandits.
In this regard, Jin Shuke also felt deeply ashamed. It turned out that his previous self was so unbearable.
Fortunately, Mr. Bei taught them what they should fight for. Following General Zheng’s banner, they will fight for their homeland, their future, and their beliefs and beliefs.
What faith and belief are, metallurgy cannot understand.
Mr. Bei explained that it seems to mean your children, your wife, for example, Shengle City has no worries about food, clothing and your good life.
Jin Shuke sometimes wonders, because in the past when tribes were fighting in the desert, robbing things was also to make their children and aunt live a better life. What is the difference between the two?
However, Jin Shu didn’t think that Mr. Bei was wrong. He felt that he probably failed to understand the true meaning of Mr. Bei’s words. Yes, that must be the case!
"Are we going to attack here?" The eldest prince asked, "There are no less than 20,000 households stationed in this city, both inside and outside the city."
The military system of the savages is very complicated. It’s a good observation. Each household has its own unique flag or tribal totem.
As the last barrier before the savages to the Snow Customs, Ming'an City is also the center of the foraging field. It is naturally heavily guarded. Moreover, if the battle on the front line goes bad, it can also support the main force of the savage army back to the snowfield.
For Shengle's army, with a full force of 10,000 cavalry, it would be very difficult to attack a city with 20,000 barbarians stationed there, because the morale and fighting belief of the barbarians are far higher than that of Situ Yi's small court in Fengxin City. .
At Wangjiang Station, the savage army forcibly attacked the Left Army’s camp and finally drove the Left Army down the river. As the commander-in-chief at that time, the eldest prince naturally remembered this.
And there is a barbarian military stronghold on the west side not far from here. It is only a few dozen miles away. Once there is a situation in Ming'an City, troops and horses can be dispatched there at any time to return reinforcements. come over.
"Let's take a look first. Since General Zheng is leading us north, there will always be somewhere to poop."
It's on target.
But the eldest prince has become accustomed to Jin Shuke's method of forcing Xia Yu.
"I think it will be dangerous if we continue to go deeper." The eldest prince hesitated for a moment and then said.
He abides by his duty at this time. No matter what he thinks in his heart, he will not go to Zheng Fan to tell him. In an army, how can just a captain go to see the general? What's the point?
Therefore, some things can only be said to one’s own best, that is, Jinshu.
Jin Shuke turned to look at the eldest prince, pointed at his nose, and said with a smile:
"My lord, do you mean we are in danger, or the army?"
"Big army."
"Oh?"
"The news of Fengxin's defeat was not concealed at all, because too many defeated troops escaped. According to the schedule, the barbarians and Chu people on the front line should have received the news.
Our march north is certainly an amazing move, but the barbarians or Chu people only need to send one troop. Go to Fengxin City and follow the traces to find out the location of our army.
Furthermore, you ordered us to eat several savages in the past two days. The savages are not stupid. , Their military system seems loose, but in fact they have their own methods.
We should have been exposed, and our exposure is actually equivalent to exposing the army that has been following us.
My Lord and I went to observe outside Ming'an City before. The barbarians' plundering of Jin must not be over yet. After they learned that Jingnan Hou was taking command, they were forced by Jingnan Hou's attack. Fame will definitely speed up the movement of everything looted back to the snowfield for maximum insurance.
But look, are there still teams transporting slaves and goods outside Ming'an City? < /p>
The entire city seems to be the same as before, but in fact it has been sent to the outside. It is clearly waiting for us.
And I also concluded that there are probably savage soldiers in the outer areas. After the horse bypassed Fengxin City, we were groping and investigating this way. A fishing net should have almost covered our heads.
We were staring at Ming'an City at this time. The wealth and slaves in the city, but the savages, may already be staring at us.
It is not convenient for me to say these things to General Zheng. I kindly ask you to speak to General Zheng. ”
In the eyes of the eldest prince, Zheng Fan's move northward was certainly unexpected, but the barbarians were not fools, especially the barbarian king and the barbarian generals under his command, who were not easy to deal with. .
The Ming'an City in front of you may be the bait.
Jin Shuke scratched his head and was silent for a while, then said:
"I'm sorry, noble man, I can't say these words."
"Why?"
The eldest prince is hereHaving been in the Sheng Le Army for a long time, he naturally understands the atmosphere in this army, an atmosphere where all members worship and believe in General Zheng.
The eldest prince did not reject this atmosphere at all, because it was already Dayan’s tradition. When the Marquis of Zhenbei was acting with his father, many Zhenbei soldiers dreamed of it. The dream of rushing into Yanjing and snatching the emperor's throne for his own prince?
The officers and soldiers of the Jingnan Army, it is no exaggeration to say that as long as the Marquis of Jingnan gives the order, they really dare to accompany their own Marquis to "Qingjun's side"!
But the eldest prince felt that there was a certain degree of admiration and following. At least, suggestions could be used.
Jin Shukeng took off the water bag in his hand and said:
"Because of what you said, noble lord, before our troops set off as the vanguard, The general has already told someone."
"Did he do it on purpose?"
So, the deliberate killing of the small group of Savage Rangers was also intentional? Is it intentional to expose your location?
The purpose is to mobilize the savage forces in this area to move closer to surround you?
If all this was planned by Zheng Fan, then Zheng Fan must have considered the situation and dangers he faced.
The eldest prince felt a little lucky for a moment. He was glad that he had followed the rules and did not go to the commander's tent to talk to Zheng Fan about this. Otherwise, his face would be really humiliated.
"If all this is General Zheng's plan, then I can only say that General Zheng's military skills are superior to mine."
Jin Shu Ke heard this, A look of deep approval immediately appeared on his face:
“Our general is not only superb at using soldiers, he is also proficient in forging, smelting, architecture, medicine, poetry, astronomy and geography,
There is nothing in this world that my general is not proficient in. It is the honor of our life to follow the general's footsteps."
Said,
Metalism. But he made a fist with his right hand and hit his left chest, making a muffled sound.
At the same time,
the barbarian soldiers who were resting around them also made the same move with serious expressions on their faces.
Every time after Mr. Bei finished his speech, he would lead everyone to do this action to show respect and praise for General Zheng.
As a prince, he would naturally feel uncomfortable with this situation.
Because if nothing unexpected happens, as long as this army continues to develop, Dayan will have another army similar to the Jingnan Army, which only knows the commander but does not know his majesty.
However,
The eldest prince immediately felt relieved.
Anyway, this is already Dayan’s tradition. Besides, is there any need to worry about it? ?
I have never coveted the throne, so if I have to worry, I should be the second one to worry about it.
Or,
Xiao Liu?

It’s a little awkward.This is the first update today. Well, this chapter still has a lot of words.
