Chapter 167 Dowry

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo[[ps]sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss from, that the sound of the sound of the horn to sound reverberate across the vast snow field.

North of Xueguan Pass,

on one side,

are a group of savage leaders from various tribes,

on one side,

It is General Zheng on horseback.

Behind both sides, there were more than a thousand cavalry in formation.

However, there was no tense situation between the two sides.

It seemed that they were not the ones who were slaughtered with corpses everywhere in the southern city of Xueguan not long ago;

Of course,

it was indeed not them.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...... Savages with specially painted skins and feathers came out of the military formation and began to sing and dance.

This is a ritual of the savages, usually appearing around bonfires at large events.

After they danced for a while, they started singing again.

General Zheng also had to pretend to be very nice and I admire him very much. From time to time, he had to nod slightly and smile a little.

This is out of respect.

Of course,

Respect sometimes has a neighbor, which is called perfunctory.

To be honest, General Zheng really couldn't appreciate these authentic performances.

In my previous life, I had traveled around to collect folk customs, visited many scenic spots, and enjoyed many local folk performances;

On the left side of these performances, there would usually be a word "endangered" ; on the right, there will be a "Save" hanging.

In fact, if you put aside narcissism and hypnosis and purely appreciate it with your own public aesthetics,

you will find,

Oh,

No wonder they are endangered.

Just like the situation before me.

This is really not a discrimination against this era.

General Zheng believes that

If he were in the south of the Qian Kingdom and watched the oiran dancers Dancing in front of me, I will definitely enjoy it and be very immersed in it.

It’s uncomfortable to spend money, it doesn’t taste that good. I searched my mind and copied two poems or something, and asked the oiran to recommend himself as a pillow. That’s the real fun.

In comparison,

It is really eye-catching to see this group of shirtless savages jumping around singing and dancing in the snow.

The eldest prince sat in the middle. Beside the eldest prince, there were seven savage women.

These are all people who have slept with the eldest prince. Maybe some of them are pregnant. Naturally, these women have to accompany the eldest prince back.

The Tian family attaches great importance to the continuation of the bloodline. In fact, not only the Tian family, but even ordinary wealthy families will subconsciously feel that their wealth and status are higher than ordinary people.To feel good about one's own "blood".

At the same time,

In the eyes of the savage tribe leaders,

this,

is actually the result of the friendly friendship between the savages in the snowfield and Dayan. Symbol!

And the carrier of this symbol is the eldest prince!

The barbarian people do not think that there is anything about "losing power and humiliating the country", because they themselves have no concept of "country", although the previous Jin people, Yan people, Chu people, etc. all referred to them as "Savages", but in fact, they are just a group of wolves, the saints and the stars are just an extremely general concept. In essence, they are still in a state of loose sand.

In other words, they have no "collective sense of honor."

But it can be seen that the eldest prince's face is a bit gloomy. As the former commander-in-chief of the Eastern Expedition Army, and as the contemporary eldest son of the Ji family, at this moment, he is sitting in that position with someone sitting next to him. The seven savage women are like emotionless sacrificial objects;

At this time, if his face looks good, then he has really seen a ghost.

But no matter what, if you don’t do anything, or if you do it, you must have a beginning and an end.

Especially after Xue San told the eldest prince that Marquis Jingnan did not plan to expedition to the north in the snowy fields for the time being, the eldest prince had no choice.

Even if it is for the short period of peace between Xuehaiguan and Xueyuan, even if he knows that the guy named Zheng in front will definitely not care about the covenant made by the stars, as long as he takes care of Xueguan , after handling the urgent matters at hand, and freeing up their hands, they will inevitably attack the snowy plains;

Ji Wujiang must act as a foil for this meaningless "alliance-making" ceremony.

The sacrificial activities on the savage side were finally over;

General Zheng was not stingy and sent Fan Li, leading dozens of soldiers who had been training for a night in assault, to the center , accompanied by the sound of gongs and drums,

Dozens of men, led by Fan Li,

took out two colorful ribbons from their pockets and began to perform the Yangko dance.

The savages are somewhat familiar with the folk customs of the Jin region, because apart from the war in the past two years, the two sides have actually had no lack of communication in the past.

However, he was still extremely shocked by the "characteristic folk customs" of the Yan people.

Fan Li was twisting happily and standardly, and the dozens of men behind him were also twisting vigorously!

"Gula, this, this belongs to the Yan people..." a leader asked the leader of another tribe next to him.

"This should be the Yan people's ritual to worship gods."

"Oh, I see, it looks really mysterious."

"Yes. ”

When the other savage-headed people around heard this, they all nodded with astonishment.

Only the eldest prince,

seeing this scene,

the corners of his mouth began to twitch uncontrollably.

Actually, it’s not that General Zheng was deliberately perfunctory, but because the Jin people accounted for the majority in Shengle’s army, followed by the barbarians, and after that, the Yan people.

But after asking the few Yan people, I found that no one understands the process of Yan people's sacrifice, and the blind man is not here.

General Zheng was too lazy to mess around, so he decisively sent Fan Li.

Surely,

It’s Yanye’s characteristic cultural exchange party.

When the Yangko dance is completed, the prelude to the ceremony for both parties is over.

Next,

General Zheng took the initiative to ride his horse forward, and

the leaders dismounted and walked forward.

The eldest prince stood up, knelt down on one knee in front of Zheng Fan, and gave a military salute.

It is true that he is a prince, but he has been demoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel by the Marquis of Jingnan, so he naturally has to salute according to the military rules.

This is actually one of the personal charms of the eldest prince. He pays great attention to rules.

This scene directly shocked the group of barbarian heads. Even the prince had to kneel down to the young general in front of him. It seemed that the power of this young general was really terrifying.

Because of this, these barbarian heads quickly knelt down in front of General Zheng who was riding a horse.

General Zheng is still just General Shengle, and he has not yet been promoted to the position of commander-in-chief. He does not know whether he will be granted any title, but this does not prevent him from accepting the title of a group of "princes and generals" at this time. bow down.

These leaders are not stupid. The previous canonization of the eldest prince is naturally impossible to show off to the Yan people at this time.

They also understand the principle of treating people like swords and fish as flesh and blood.

More than 100,000 savage troops led by the Savage King were buried in Jin. At this time, the snowfield was in an absolutely empty and extremely turbulent environment. What these leaders wanted was Immediately break up with the Yan people, and then go to appease Xueyuan.

Of course, it is inevitable to swallow up a wave of development.

It can be said that the entire snowfield is actually a Gu farm. It is normal for big fish to eat small fish and small fish to eat shrimps. Those tribes that previously followed the Savage King and responded to the call to send tribal warriors are now in When you are weak, you would really be sorry if you didn't take advantage of the situation, right?

On General Zheng's side, Shengle's soldiers and civilians have not yet arrived, and they are unable to send troops. They also need time to settle down.

In short,

Mountains do not change and rivers change,

Today,

Let us sing a harmonious drama together,

p>

In the future,

I will continue to greet you with real swords and guns.

General Zheng dismounted and came to a large wine vat.

He reached out and took a dagger from the soldier next to him.

Oh,

Damn it.

"Fuck!"

After cutting his palm, General Zheng dripped his own blood into it.

Immediately, savages came over one after another, cut their palms open, and dripped blood into the wine.

At the end,

someone came over to pour the drinks.

General Zheng took the scarlet wine bowl and immediately felt nauseous.

Normally, when I see A Ming drinking this thing with a bottle of wine every day, I think it’s okay. Now that it’s my turn to drink, I feel a million unwillingnesses in my heart.

God knows if these savages are suffering from any diseases.

However,

General Zheng immediately took the lead and lifted the wine bowl over his head.

A kind of savage head people immediately followed suit.

"For the sake of peace between Dayan and Xueyuan, and for the harmonious coexistence of both parties, let's do it!"

After speaking, General Zheng turned his wine bowl to the He swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and let his throat move a few times. Then he let the wine drip down his chin in a graceful manner, pretending to drink boldly.

Then with lightning speed, he threw the wine bowl on the ground,

and shouted:

"Happy!"

A group of savage leaders also followed the same example and smashed the wine bowl.

The ceremony is over.

The savage heads returned soon, and General Zheng also took the eldest prince back to Snow Customs.

This ceremony can be regarded as a "fun for the host and the guest".

After entering the city, General Zheng led the eldest prince into his own courtyard.

"Thank you for your hard work, Your Highness." General Zheng said while taking the hot towel handed over by Xue San and wiping his neck.

"General Zheng, are you mocking me?"

"How dare you?"

Zheng Fan threw the towel to Xue San, who was standing next to him. He sat down on the chair and pointed to the chair opposite, indicating that the eldest prince should also sit down.

The eldest prince bowed his hands to Zheng Fan and sat down.

"Your Highness, you have also made great contributions in this battle, and our fate will be close."

The prince is a prince after all, and the seven sons of Emperor Yan can count on their fingers. After all, there are only a few that can be used.

The third child was crippled by himself, and he is probably still enjoying the snow at the Lake Pavilion now;

The seventh child is still young, and the fourth and fifth children do not know why, but they have been suppressed. He hasn't had a chance to be released to work, and with the death of the head of the Deng family in Wangjiang, the fourth child has been cut off from his greatest help.

As for Lao Liu, that is a "stick".

If you think about it, if you were Emperor Yan, you would not give up your eldest son like this.

"Wujiang is just trying to atone for his sins."

"Your Majesty, your words are serious."

Keshi came over and offered hot tea.

Zheng Fan picked up the teacup, took a sip, then slowly put it down, saying:

"In this world, everything can always be smooth sailing.It’s not that there are no people, but they are really very few, comparable to a rare thing. Although I had no contact with His Highness at the beginning, but to tell the bottom of my heart, I really admire His Highness’s character and temperament.

My country, Dayan, is at the beginning of its development. I hope that Your Highness will not become decadent. In the future, you and I will eventually have the opportunity to join hands to attack foreign countries again. ”

The tone of these words actually puts himself on the same level as the eldest prince. It seems a bit rude, but after all, they are all in the military, so speaking like this makes it even more obvious. Be sincere.

General Zheng always likes to make friends with honest people. To a certain extent, this eldest prince also possesses the attributes of an honest person. At least, he has a bottom line.

"Thanks to General Zheng for thinking highly of Wujiang. "

"I have offended you in the past, but I hope you will forgive me. "

This is to put an end to the incident where he sent people to ask for money and food from the eldest prince when he was the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Expeditionary Army last time.

"It's all over. . "The eldest prince sighed, and then said: "Wujiang has to congratulate General Zheng here for his upcoming appointment as the commander-in-chief of Xuehai Customs. ”

It was not the eldest prince’s miraculous calculation, but after entering the city, he found that there were soldiers urging the savage prisoners of war to carry out city defense construction work.

And the county magistrate generally does not repair the county. The truth is that you have to be transferred after working for a few years anyway, so why waste the effort;

So, if General Zheng didn’t want to be stationed at Xuehai Customs permanently, he wouldn’t rush here now. Repair the city wall

“It’s possible. "Zheng Fan didn't deny it either.

"With General Zheng stationed at Xue Customs, Wujiang is relieved. This is what Wujiang says from the bottom of his heart. ”

A barbarian rebellion caused great harm to the entire Chengguo.

Now that the land of the Three Jins has returned to Yan, the people of Jin, that is, Yan As a common people, from the perspective of the eldest prince, he naturally hopes to have a truly reliable general to guard the snowy plains.

After counting, the only one who can be trusted is Zheng Fan. /p>

At the same time,

The eldest prince also knows that based on the distance between this place and Yanjing, the appointment order must not have been issued yet, so who can guarantee and make a decision on this matter in advance? ?

Only Marquis Jingnan

If Marquis Jingnan wants to recommend Zheng Fan as the commander-in-chief of Snow Customs, it is basically impossible for the imperial court, including his father, to do so. I will object.

To say something heartbreaking,

Who dares to object at this moment?

, Zheng Fan suddenly thought of what the Sword Master said to him a few days ago:

You are so wicked, I will be relieved if Xue Customs is handed over to you

Suddenly, there was a feeling between the two of them. There was silence.

The eldest prince was the first to break the silence and said:

"When Wujiang returns to Yanjing this time, he should get married soon.. ”

Being able to talk about your marriage in front of others is actually a kind of recognition that people treat you as a friend.

It’s just that the wedding of the eldest prince is a matter of course. It was a political marriage.

The Eastern Expeditionary Army was defeated for the first time. No matter what, he had to bear the responsibility. After returning, he would definitely be punished and suppressed to show off to outsiders. This was a must. It was inevitable.

Then, he used his remaining energy to marry the daughter of the Barbarian King as the eldest son of contemporary Ji.

This also meant that the eldest prince had completely lost his inheritance. It is possible that Xiao Liuzi will be expelled from the throne more completely than Xiao Liuzi.

Because the competition between other princes is a domestic matter of the Ji family.

But if he marries. If a prince who is the daughter of a barbarian tries to get involved in the throne of Dayan, he will inevitably be attacked by all strata of Dayan.

Hundreds of years of blood feud,

What will happen to the Yan people? Is it possible to allow the mother of the country to be a barbarian?

At the same time, how is it possible to allow the next generation of emperor to have barbarian blood?

It can be felt that the eldest prince is feeling depressed at this time.

If today, he only serves as a tool for the alliance between Xueyuan and Snow Customs for a short time;

Then. , after the wedding, he will be used as a balance pole between the barbarians and the Yan people for a long time.

This is not the worst thing,

The worst thing is,

p>

It is impossible to say that Dayan and the barbarians will fight again in the future.

When the time comes,

How should the eldest prince deal with it?

Even if he thinks so? He is from Yan and still belongs to the Ji family, but it is impossible for the imperial court to let him lead the army to deal with the barbarians.

In fact, the eldest prince will not even have many opportunities to lead troops and hold real power in the future. There won't be many opportunities.

Who knows if he will cooperate with others to lure barbarian troops into Yan?

The lessons learned from Situ Yi and Situ Jiong are right in front of us. I will not allow myself to make this mistake.

“When the date of His Highness’ wedding is decided, I will definitely send someone to send you a congratulatory gift. "

"Thank you, General Zheng. "

"Your Highness is welcome. ”

The eldest prince leaned back on the chair, and his whole body seemed to relax.

Zheng Fan also leaned back, and also relaxed.

"General Zheng and my sixth brother have a good relationship?" "

"To tell you the truth, my initial wealth was purchased with the help of His Highness the Sixth Prince. ”

Without Xiao Liuzi’s desperate efforts to continue “nurturing” the rear,

it would have been impossible to build his Cuiliu Fort so quickly, nor to raise thousands of elite cavalry. It is impossible to support the continuous strategic risks in the early stage..

In comparison, the snowball usually gets bigger and bigger later, but it is more difficult than the initial stage of starting a business.

"The sixth brother is the smartest among our brothers. At the beginning, my father actually loved the sixth brother the most."

This topic has already involved the world. Home is broken.

But General Zheng only found it interesting and a bit exciting.

"It's just that over the years, my father has suppressed the sixth brother too hard, but I think the sixth brother has not lost yet."

Nima,

I just want to hear some tidbits of news, why did you come up and do something so exciting for me?

Any warlord is very cautious before he truly rises and becomes powerful.

Emperor Yan is on the throne,

he has Tian Wujing above him.

In this situation,

General Zheng and He doesn't think he has any qualifications to participate in the battle for the right to inherit the throne.

The battle for the heir has been the biggest bet in the world throughout the ages. If you win the bet, you will be able to soar into the sky. "Following the dragon" is better than anything else;

p>

But the bet is the lives of your whole family.

It is said that those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. The problem is that the boots General Zheng is wearing now are pretty good-looking and quite warm. There is no need to take off the boots and run impatiently. I used to run with Xiaoliuzi under the sunset.

The eldest prince was observing Zheng Fan's expression. Seeing that Zheng Fan didn't answer, he smiled and said:

"This is Wujiang abruptness."

“What can’t you do, and why can’t you dare?”

Your general Zheng’s men can carve so many big seals out of big radish overnight, so now you are pretending to be pure and kind with me?

"Haha."

Zheng Fan smiled shyly. He really couldn't figure out what was wrong with the eldest prince.

Are you stimulated? So you started to let yourself go a little bit?

The eldest prince immediately stood up. Zheng Fan did not move and continued to lean on the chair.

"General Zheng, the Eastern Expeditionary Army lost two battles and won one. The casualties were heavy in the defeat, but the casualties in the victory were not small either."

This is a natural thing. In the defeat, the main force of the left army was lost.

In this victory, the Marquis of Jingnan used the elites of Zhenbei and Jingnan to attack the main force of the barbarians and win a big victory;

It cannot be said to be a tragic victory, but his own casualties are definitely Not a few either.

Zheng Fan's face also began to become serious, and his back stood up slightly from the chair.

Although I opened a comic studio in my previous life, I still couldn’t escape my otaku nature;

In this life, I have always been among big shots, untilI was almost on the verge of becoming a big shot, so I slowly began to understand this conversation style and habit.

It turns out that

What the eldest prince said before was a kind of foreshadowing. The real highlight is only beginning now.

Thinking of this, General Zheng couldn't help but laugh at himself. He thought he was an honest man before. Alas, he is the son of Emperor Yan. How can he be so simple?

"The losses of the Zhenbei Army and the Jingnan Army must be considerable. This is also the fundamental reason why the Marquis of Jingnan has no intention of expedition to the north in the snowy plains in a short period of time."

In Yupan City, there are still There are tens of thousands of Chu troops locked up, but to be honest, for the Northern Expedition to the Snowy Fields, Zheng Fan estimated that 40,000 to 50,000 cavalry would be enough.

Xueyuan is not only severely injured, but also extremely empty. When a wave comes up, I don't want to kill it, but stab it again and give it some blood. At the same time, I snatch back a batch of previous batches. It is really not difficult for the people and property to be robbed by the savages.

But even though it is not difficult, Yan Jun is unable to do it now.

"The territory of Dayan, in less than three years, has gained a complete land of the Three Jins. How many soldiers and horses are needed to garrison such a large territory? There are so many more With so many border crossings, how many soldiers and horses are needed to defend them? ”

It is also a sin to expand the territory too quickly, just like later generations of brands opening chain stores and expanding blindly, which ultimately leads to the inability to keep up with the foundation. You will suffer a huge loss and lose everything.

"The direct descendants of the Zhenbei Army and the Jingnan Army must be the first choice to replenish troops after the war. General Zheng will not deny this, right?"

Zheng Fan nodded.

In any case, the two ace field armies must give priority to replenishing their troops.

“But here’s the problem. Although the original Left Army had mostly local military leaders, after a big war, they would often become the target of being digested.

It is indeed inappropriate to say these words from a borderless standpoint, but they are indeed spoken from the bottom of my heart."

After Ma stepped on the throne, local military leaders were a major factor of instability, so Emperor Yan sent troops. The prince gathered the local military leaders before going on an expedition.

These local military leaders and their troops should have been the best supplementary troops, but now, due to the disastrous defeat in the first Battle of Wangjiang, the supplementary troops have actually suffered heavy losses.

This will cause an embarrassing problem. Your reserves cannot keep up.

After successive battles, the soldiers are exhausted. It is really not just as simple as fatigue. The old soldiers are constantly dying in battle, and the new soldiers are constantly on top. The entire plate is actually being diluted.

"Your Highness, please speak up if you have anything to say."

Zheng Fan said.

"General Zheng, even if all of your Shengle Army is moved here, the Snow Customs is so big and the snowfield is so vast, do you think your troops and horses are enough?"

"Far from enough."

"That's it. A hundred miles south of Qixue Customs, due to savage plunder, has become a no-man's land. General Zheng is famous for his ability to control the Jin army among the Yan army. Among the many generals of our Yan army, the main ones under your command are the Jin army. You are the only one, General Zheng.

But now, where should General Zheng replenish his troops? ”

Replenishing troops is indeed a difficult problem.

First of all, it is difficult to allocate high-quality soldiers to you because they do not have enough true direct descendants.

In the battle of Xuehaiguan, the Shengle Army that he led suffered a lot of losses, but compared with the Jingnan Army and the Zhenbei Army that charged and fought on the frontal battlefield, the casualty ratio was really not that big. Therefore, priority was given to replenishing They must be politically correct.

The most annoying thing is that even if you want to catch young men in a short period of time, it will be difficult because there is a large no-man's land in your jurisdiction. No more, the villages are empty, how can you catch strong men?

As for the more than 20,000 savage prisoners, they can only be used as laborers and cannot be recruited into the army.

If you are stationed in Jin and use the savage army, it will only bring about a fierce conflict between yourself and your base. Moreover, you are on guard against the snowfields. If you want to recruit savages into your army, won't the Snow Customs be destroyed in a matter of seconds? Being penetrated into a sieve?

In the future, when your main army grows stronger, you can form an army of savage servants, which can be used as cannon fodder when attacking the Qian Kingdom or the Chu Kingdom.

"Your Highness, what do you want to teach me?" "

"General Zheng is serious. What Wujiang means is that when the Barbarian King betrothed his daughter to Wujiang, he promised Wujiang that he would give her a dowry. ”

A dowry?

Zheng Fan’s breathing involuntarily became heavier.

Because he quickly understood the meaning,

Barbarian soldiers!

Barbarian soldiers are good. The capital of General Zheng’s fortune is barbarian soldiers, and after experiments by the blind man, it was found that barbarian soldiers have the best brainwashing effect.

And they are natural cavalry, easy to use!

After getting them, you only need to equip them with good horses and sophisticated armor, and then integrate them a little to become elites!

“Dowry is required by Wujiang. The eldest prince stared at Zheng Fan and said word by word: "But absorbing barbarian tribes into Yan is an extremely difficult matter for me, Great Yan, because Beifeng County is absolutely not allowed to be infiltrated by barbarians." ”

For a long time, Yan State has actually accepted many small barbarian tribes to seek refuge, but the size of Beifeng County is there, and because of its special geographical location, it will also face the same problems as Zheng Fan’s previous The similar problem we encountered was that our Zhenbei Army was originally here to defend against the barbarians. If I brought so many barbarians in here, how could we defend them?

So, when we were at Cuiliu Fort, Zheng Fan was able to get the barbarian soldiers Xu Pangpang sent through the back door. The imperial court wanted to absorb them, but they would never be placed in Beifeng County, but instead sent to other areas of the empire toThe length of the distance severed their connection with the desert.

Zheng Fan stood up,

looked at the eldest prince,

said:

"What your Highness means is that you want to transfer this Do you want to leave the dowry at my snow customs?"

"Barbarian, do you like it, General Zheng?"

"Yes." Zheng Fan nodded, then felt that the mood was not enough, and added He said: "I like it very much."

This is not like relatives giving you red envelopes during the Chinese New Year. No matter how honest you are in your heart, you still keep saying "no, no, no".

If we get another barbarian army as the base, plus the chassis of the original Sheng Le Army, and spend some time to rest the Snow Customs, and after the people's livelihood is in place,

General Zheng will soon let the savage brothers who just made a blood alliance today see "why the flowers are so red"!

In the past, it was the early days of starting a business in Cuiliu Fort. After getting through the beginning, successfully emerging, and being appreciated by the Marquis of Jingnan, everything went smoothly thereafter.

But now,

it is not a new round of entrepreneurship.

Sure up the basics of Xuehaiguan as soon as possible, start invasion and expansion as soon as possible, and build your own vassal town Dreams can be realized as soon as possible.

This kind of urgency is difficult for ordinary people to understand.

“The Barbarian King is old, and the royal court also needs to arrange for a successor, so during the last Three Kingdoms War, the Barbarian King chose to watch the fire from the other side;

Of course, there is my father in this. The reason for the edict, but the Barbarian King himself also knew that even if a war really broke out, once the succession issue of the royal court was not resolved, even if the barbarian army successfully entered the territory of our country, Yan, there would be no benefit in the end.

The Man King trusted King Zuogu Li very much because he was an upright man, but Shatuo Queshi died in the battle outside Zhenbeihou Mansion, which made the Man King's previous arrangements abandoned.

For me, Dayan, it is also for me. As far as my father is concerned, what he wants is actually the flowers and mountains of the Qian Kingdom. Compared with the barrenness of the desert, unifying the homeland of all Xia is the real long-cherished wish.

If both parties can achieve this in recent years. If there is a war, then it is best not to start a war."

At this point, the eldest prince paused, pointed to his feet, and said:

"The arrangement of the dowry is itself. A big problem, but for you, General Zheng, this is indeed the biggest advantage; Beifeng County is the westernmost part of Dayan, and Xuehaiguan is the easternmost part of our current territory.

Placing the barbarians here, far away from the desert, can limit the possibility of the barbarians responding to the desert to the greatest extent. At the same time, there is a fundamental difference between the barbarians and the savages. They will not collude with the savages. .

On this point, Wujiang asked General Zheng’s subordinates about their metal skills. They looked down upon the barbarians. ”

Zheng Fan breathed a long sigh of relief and

spoke out four words:

"Use barbarians to defeat barbarians."

When the eldest prince heard this, his eyes immediately lit up and he couldn't help but admire. :

"Incisive."

Immediately afterwards,

The eldest prince said again:

"Just these four words can be compared with There are thousands of words, but as long as these four words are spoken in court, this dowry will definitely belong to you, General Zheng."

Use barbarians to control barbarians,

Whether it is from an "aesthetic" perspective, from the perspective of Dayan's national policy, or from the perspective of the emperor and courtiers feeling good about themselves, it can be said that it scratched their itch.

The State of Qian is not a barbarian;

The State of Chu is not a barbarian;

In the official propaganda of the Yan State, everyone is a brother of Zhu Xia. They were ordered by Da Xiazi to expand the territory, so in essence, they were a family.

This propaganda tone played a huge role in Dayan's annexation of the three Jin lands.

You see, the savages are our common enemy, and we, putting aside the barriers between Yan and Jin, are actually a family eight hundred years ago.

Converting ethnic antagonism into dynasty replacement can greatly offset the feeling of rejection of the people of the conquered country.

As for the entire Yan State, the only place that can apply the policy of "using barbarians to control barbarians" is really only General Zheng's Snow Customs, and there is no other place!

However,

Zheng Fan still asked solemnly:

"Your Highness, your kindness..."

"Could it be that General Zheng thinks that Gu wants to drag you into the water and is on Gu's side?"

Haha,

From "I" to "Gu".

Zheng Fan smiled sarcastically.

"Gu, there is no chance anymore. I understand, and everyone in the world understands. General Zheng, you actually understand in your heart."

If the first battle of Wangjiang had not happened, If he is defeated, even if he marries a barbarian princess and is deprived of his military power, he still has the hope of leading troops in the future, just like the Marquis of Jingnan before him.

But because you have failed before, it is almost impossible to lead the army again.

"General Zheng, what I want is a hope."

"Hope?"

"Human beings will have selfish motives. In a word, what do you think, General Zheng?"

"It is natural that people are not saints."

"This is what I want, because I don't want to spend the rest of my life. Just sit in silence in the palace, walk the dog and play with the birds, and live the idle life;

Looking at the corpses of tens of thousands of people wandering in the river, I dare not forget them even for a single day. I still want to atone for my sins!

p>

What Gu wants is to be shrouded in horse leather one day, so that he can return everything that is due."

Zheng Fan hesitated, what does this have to do with him?

"If the second son succeeds to the throne, given the second son's character, Gu, the idle prince, will be able to take the throne, and Gu Ye will completely stop thinking about him."

Zheng Fan His eyelids trembled.

The eldest prince sighed heavily,

then subconsciously stretched out his hand,

wanting to pat Zheng Fan on the shoulder.

Finally,

I was assimilated by the shoulder-slapping culture in Shengle Army.

The palm of his hand,

patted on Zheng Fan's shoulder,

The eldest prince said:

"If the sixth brother succeeds to the throne, , Gu feels that there is still hope for him, even if he continues to be released and only serves as a school captain.

When the time comes, General Zheng will need to help with the friendship of giving the dowry today. "

Holy shit,

Why are you more confident than I, the "Sixth Master Party", that Xiao Liuzi can succeed in seizing the throne?"

Zheng Fan felt so ridiculous. Although it was Zheng Fan who had instigated Xiao Liuzi to rebel countless times throughout the day, he really had no intention of going to hell to help Xiao Liuzi fight for the throne.

Especially now that he is clinging to Marquis Jingnan and has the opportunity to develop his own style, there is no need to do such dangerous things.

It really doesn’t work. If Xiao Liuzi is in danger in the future, he can take Xiao Liuzi to his place for resettlement just like he did to the young Marquis.

But the eldest prince in front of him has obviously placed his hope for the rest of his life on his sixth brother.

By the way, I also placed my trust in myself, the number one backbone of the "Sixth Party".

But to be honest, Zheng Fan's loyalty to Xiaoliuzi is really not that high, but others don't see it that way.

Zheng Fan stretched out his hand and put it on the eldest prince's shoulder.

The two people are now holding each other's shoulders.

The eldest prince frowned slightly. He instinctively felt that this posture was somewhat unnatural.

"Your Highness, you are joking. If a prince like Your Highness who is devoted to the country is left alone, it will be a loss for the imperial court and a loss for Dayan."

"Zheng The general is always funny when he talks. He will start arranging this matter after Gu returns to the capital and will not let it be delayed."

"Then I will wait for your highness's good fortune."

The eldest prince turned around and prepared to leave, but he only left the other courtyard. If he wanted to leave Xuehaiguan and return to Yanjing, he had to wait for the imperial edict to come.

Walking to the door of the other courtyard,

the eldest prince stopped again,

looked at Zheng Fan,

said:

p>

"General Zheng, tell me, if you were not the sixth brother you met first, but the solitary one you met..."

"Then why didn't His Highness ask before? Give me this dowry, will I change my family?Woolen cloth? "

"Can you? "

Zheng Fan did not hesitate and shook his head directly.

The eldest prince smiled.

Zheng Fan then said:

"Unless the dowry is doubled. "

The smile on the eldest prince's face began to fade away, and finally became serious, as if after a short period of thinking,

said:

" I can't do it alone. ”

“Me too. "

The eldest prince nodded, pointed around, and said:

"General Zheng, believe it or not, in the next few years, I don't know how many generals will envy you, because maybe In the next few years, you are the only one who can still fight. ”

“Maybe, but who told us that we were born to work hard. ”

After the eldest prince left, Xue San led Jin Shuke into the other courtyard.

Jin Shuke knelt down in front of Zheng Fan.

Zheng Fan sat back on the chair again,

nodding towards Jin Shuke,

said:

"Thank you for your hard work. "

In the past period of time, Jin Shuke's performance has been dazzling, and it is no wonder that he has been recommended by the sword master.

"The one who can serve the general is the last general. The greatest blessing in this life! "

Zheng Fan leaned forward, looked at Jin Shuke who was kneeling in front of him,

and asked in a low voice:

"What do you think, our First Prince, how are you doing? ”

Golden Technique can be thought about for a while,

He naturally knew what Zheng Fan meant when he asked him, and he could indeed play tricks on others,

But he still answered directly :

“Reporting to the general, this eldest prince is actually very powerful. "

"Then do you think he is ambitious? ”

Jin Shuke heard the words,

hesitated for a moment,

finally raised his head,

pointed to his own Face,

said:

"General, do you think your subordinates are ambitious? ”

Zheng Fan was silent,

Cold sweat began to flow from Jin Shuke’s face,

he hit his forehead heavily on the floor tile,

p>

Shouting:

"The general deserves to die! "

Zheng Fan shook his head,

and said:

"No, you are fine. "

Immediately,

Zheng Fan said again:

"That man is the son-in-law of the Barbarian King. Has he ever tried to win over you? ”

“If I get back to the general, yes! "

"Why refuse? "

Jin Shuke raised his head, his face clearly covered in cold sweat, but he showed a simple and honest smile.

He replied:

"In the desert, little If the tribe wants to survive, it must defect to the big tribe, become its wings, and fight for them.They can get protection from the big tribes, but in times of danger, these attached small tribes are often pushed out by the big tribes and sacrificed at will. "

"Then what? ”

“General, I don’t want to be a small tribe dependent on the big tribe, because here, I have already found my own tribe!” ”

Zheng Fan showed a smile,

stretched out his hand,

Jin Shuke, who was kneeling on the ground, immediately moved his knees forward. He stepped forward and let Zheng Fan put his hand on his shoulder.

Zheng Fan patted him gently and said,

"You're on your way. Go wide. ”
