If we say that the various imperial edicts issued from Yanjing, the titles of kings, uncles, and officials are just a prelude.
Then next,
With the end of the battle to expel the savages, the entire Sanjin Land soon entered a kind of trapped beast that had been chained for a long time and started anew. state of recovery.
The Battle of Kaijin destroyed half of the Jin Kingdom, and the barbarian rebellion poisoned the other half. In terms of economy and people's livelihood, it indeed caused great losses and impact on the three Jin lands. But it is precisely because many stereotypes and orders have been broken, that it is simpler and easier to put them back in order.
After the Marquis of Jingnan was granted the title of king, he would be called the Prince of Jingnan from now on. At the same time, the auxiliary army system in the three Jin areas began to be quickly established.
The first batch of Jin army leaders who surrendered and came over were re-appointed and promoted. From their original role of soy sauce, they began to be pushed to the real front desk, and could serve as city guards or guards of some small towns. The chief generals of some military villages.
The remaining troops of the original Chengguo were also like this, being drawn out and absorbed.
After several battles in the past few years, the Yan people have always been victorious, but the losses in the process are not small, and the land of the Three Jins is equivalent to another Yan country, without the help of It is difficult for the indigenous armies of the Three Jin Dynasties to form real control, let alone deal with external threats.
It is true that this method will inevitably increase the power of Jin military generals in Jin land. Once the coordination is not done well, the newly included Jin land will easily break up and rebel. But most of them Everyone believed that as long as King Jingnan was in charge of Yingdu, this situation would not happen.
The battle to open the Jin Dynasty and expel the barbarians made King Jingnan’s prestige in the three Jin lands unparalleled for a while. In the three Jin lands, neither the Yan army nor the Jin army dared to stand in front of him. Make times;
As for the people, because King Jingnan killed his entire family, in Zheng Fan’s words, he has always had a BUFF of “panic” and “shock” to the people;< /p>
This may seem bad, but from the perspective of the ruler, it is an excellent blessing.
For people who are reasonable and principled and care about reputation, people will always be used to sticking their noses in their faces. But for those who show tattoos on their foreheads, most people will weigh them after weighing them at the beginning. Choose to give up.
The words are crude but the truth is not crude, that is the fact.
And in this situation, with the order from King Jingnan, all ministries, whether they belong to the Yan Army or the Jin Army, need to select elite soldiers to fill the Jingnan Army to suppress the Northern Army. sequence.
Those who dare to violate the law will be killed without mercy!
Our elite men are the thorns in the heart of the military chiefs, but King Jingnan has just been crowned king, and no one dares to touch his "three fires after the new king takes office" at this time "; On the other hand, no matter what the common people think of you, those soldiers, whether they are from Yan or Jin, are not interested in joining the Zhenbei Army and the Jingnan Army.Extremely enthusiastic, especially about joining the Jingnan Army.
Firstly, this is the sign of a strong army. The people in the army naturally have the fierceness to fight first, and at the same time, they also have the freedom and ease to join if they can't defeat them;
Secondly, with the resignation of King Jingnan, everyone knew who was the real "big man" in the military in the three Jin lands in the next few years.
Various factors allowed the Jingnan Army to recover very quickly after the war and even expand.
However, to be fair, this kind of direct use of friendly troops as "reserves" is something that only the King of Jingnan dares to do and can do at this time. Others would dare to do this at other times. Just kidding, then don’t blame it for provoking a mutiny.
At the same time, the issue of "replenishing troops" that the eldest prince said to Zheng Fan before leaving Xue Customs did indeed arise.
Although as a direct descendant of the King of Jingnan in name only and a former celebrity, as well as the rising young generation of the Yan military, it can even be said to be an established upstart,
Xue Guan Here, it is true that there is no new reinforcements, and there is no intention of even sending a few thousand and eight hundred people to deal with it.
In addition, in the no-man's land outside Xueguan, even if General Zheng wants to recruit soldiers or arrest strong men in a completely shameless manner, there will be no one to arrest him.
If it weren’t for the Shengle migration brigade led by Blind Siniang and the others who were still on the way, we can be hopeful that there would really be signs of desolation here in Xuehaiguan.
It stands to reason that the position of Xue Customs is extremely important, and as the head of the family is a direct descendant, he naturally needs to be "recovered" as soon as possible, but he does not have such treatment.
,
That is intentional.
So, after knowing that nearly 10,000 barbarian cavalry will be stationed in Xueguan in the near future, King Jingnan will naturally not allocate such precious soldiers to Xueguan.
And ten thousand barbarians are not broken up, but are used directly by one person. This is undoubtedly what the superior does not like to see. It is not necessarily because Zheng Fan cannot be trusted, but because he feels that if these ten thousand people are still " "All beards and all tails" together may not be suitable for control.
If we add troops to Snow Customs at this time, we may be discounted when ten thousand barbarians come in.
Therefore, leaving such an important place without recruiting troops was to pave the way for completely packing up the barbarian troops in the future, leaving the court with no choice but to forcefully accept this arrangement for the sake of the overall situation.
Liang Cheng thought more deeply, because the barbarian soldiers were easy to digest. From the perspective of brainwashing, the barbarian soldiers were indeed easier to control than the Yan and Jin people.
At this time, replenishing troops and sending a few military leaders over would not be suitable for the future integration of the Snow Navy.
My master once said that what King Jingnan said when he was at Xuehaiguan was like teaching him step by step how to be a warlord.
For the Snow Navy’s stability plan, they naturally would not mix sand into it at this time.
In short, the final conclusion is still very simple, that is... just wait.
Little Marquis, oh no, he is the little prince now. The little prince is still in the hands of others, so it is impossible to cut off King Jingnan’s milk powder money and child support.
After meeting with the Savage King, Zheng Fan imprisoned the Savage King. San'er was responsible for delivering meals every morning and evening, and he was not allowed to contact anyone.
Uncle Zheng continued to live the life of a wealthy idler, practicing swordsmanship in the morning, riding horses in the afternoon, wandering around, and counting the days until Siniang and the others could come over.
As winter comes to an end and spring is approaching, General Zheng's heart gradually begins to get restless.
On this day, a military messenger came over. The letter asked, when did Uncle Zheng plan to take back the Pixiu that was fostered outside Yingdu City?
That night, without saying a word, General Zheng put on his armor, rode a horse, and left Xueguan with a hundred cavalry guards, heading straight for Yingdu.
Originally, Zheng Fan planned to let the blind man and Siniang bring the Pixiu with them when they moved through Yingdu. And the most important thing is that no matter how long they keep it, with Uncle Zheng’s current status, , and it is impossible for anyone to chase you for any feeding fees, fearing that you will default on the debt or something.
Uncle Zheng has climbed up from the grassroots level, so he is naturally aware of some twists and turns.
So, after a brief thought, the scenario of this letter asking is very clear.
Maybe it was King Jingnan who asked:
"Ask that boy when he will come to get the Pixiu."
Then the people below In accordance with the order of King Jingnan, a messenger was sent.
This other meaning is to let yourself go now.
The reason why the military order was not issued is because, as the current commander-in-chief of Snow Customs, it is very inappropriate for him to leave his post and run around without permission when there is no war and no need to send troops.
This is because Uncle Zheng’s status has not been completely clear yet. When Xue Customs is really operated in the future, with a sufficient population and sufficient soldiers, if Uncle Zheng is not here for three or four days in a row, Appearing in the city, this piece of information may be passed to the ears and eyes of many important people:
You Zheng Fan, what on earth are you doing!
In one vassal town, the actions of the local generals can easily cause chain reactions and affect all aspects of the situation.
Of course, that is only a situation that may occur in the future, not yet.
Indeed, even ifKing Jingnan issued military orders directly, and no one would criticize him. Zheng Fan had to come here in a polite manner, but he believed that with Zheng Fan's experience in the camp here, he would be able to understand the meaning, and he was too lazy to spend any money. Too much thought is given to these minutiae.
Uncle Zheng is here, quietly.
He plans to meet King Jingnan first.
After all, the old boss has just made the king, and he himself I haven’t congratulated him in person yet,
Although Uncle Zheng also knew that Rentian Wujing actually didn’t care about King Jingnan at all.
Because before the Tian family was exterminated, the whole family was actually dreaming of coercing the imperial court and His Majesty to confer a title of king to calm the world.
The Tian family gathering that day was said to be cheering for the Queen's marriage, but in fact, it was a joy and honor for the Tian family to be further promoted.
Whether there is a Jingnan King or not, is it hereditary? What does it mean to Tian Wujing at this time?
After meeting Queen Jingnan, Zheng Fan planned to wait here for Siniang and the others to come over, and then go back with them.
To be honest, with Liang Cheng in charge of Xue Customs, he really wasn't worried about any problems.
To go to Yingdu from the east, you must cross Wangjiang River and also pass by Yupan City.
Zheng Fan saw the "city wall" that surrounded Yupan City. The wall was not very high, but it was sufficient. In this way, the Chu army in the city could be completely trapped, giving them * *And bring double mental pressure.
Zhennanguan Pass is actually still in the hands of the Chu people. After Tian Wujing fought under the Xueguan Pass last time, he did not go north to the Xueyuan. This was also because the original junction of the Jin State and the Chu State was where Situ was. The gateway to Lei's reputation and military success was seized by the Chu army while Cheng Guo was in chaos.
The replenishment of soldiers during this period and the rapid deployment of auxiliary troops led by Jin generals actually meant that they could accumulate strength early. If the Chu people dared to go north to rescue Yupan City, they would have to fight with the Chu people. People have a good time in the wilderness.
Now, it depends on how stable the Chu country is. At the same time, it also depends on whether the Chu people have the courage to send troops at this time to fight against the Yan cavalry who just won a victory. In the wilderness, there was a fight.
Not attacking Zhennanguan does not mean handing over the initiative, but that even if Zhennanguan is in the hands of the Chu people, it is actually the Yan army that has the active advantage.
The most important thing is that thanks to the savage's scraping of the ground, it is equivalent to preparing a strong wall and clearing the country in advance. If the Chu army wants to force the army to go north, the military supply line must be stretched very long.
It’s hard to say,
It’s another replica of the first Zhenbei Hou’s great defeat of Qian’s army a hundred years ago.
In Zheng Fan's opinion, the Chu people in Yupan City should be very short of food, because they did not expect at the beginning that the "pig teammates" of the savages would impatiently destroy the area under their control. The ground was "burned" to white. At the same time, Situ Yi, who was originally responsible for helping the Chu army search for food and grass in the rear, was killed by Zheng Fan, and was looted and prepared to be transported to Yupan.The food and grass provided by the city for the Chu army to spend the winter were also burned by Zheng Fan without hesitation.
So, the reason why Zheng Fan was able to take the lead in the previous battle was really not just as simple as defending the Snow Customs.
Because Zheng Fan’s team was quite large, a Jingnan Army sentry quickly came over to verify his identity. Then, under the guidance of the sentry, Zheng Fan went to Yupan alone. By the Wangjiang River outside the city.
Until now, Zheng Fan still doesn’t know why Tian Wujing asked him to come here. Although I am actually very leisurely, I have been trying hard to create the illusion that I am busy, okay? good.
Tian Wujing's handsome tent was set up alone by Wangjiang River. At the same time, there were many officials coming in and out, not from Yingdu, but from Yan State.
In addition, when Zheng Fan came in, he saw officials wearing different official uniforms busy on the other side.
This is not the official uniform of Dayan.
Zheng Fan has also seen the official uniform of Qian State.
So,
Is this a messenger sent by the Chu people?
Zheng Fan has heard that King Jingnan once ordered that any envoys in Yupan City be killed immediately, without giving Yupan City any chance to communicate with the outside world;
< p>So, these Chu State officials in front of me should not have come from Yupan City, but from Chu State.Is this,
Negotiating?
With Zheng Fan’s identity, no one could stop him from entering or exiting this place. However, after going in and taking a look, he discovered that King Jingnan was not inside.
After leaving the commander's tent, he asked the soldiers and learned that Tian Wujing was outside the commander's tent. Finally, Zheng Fan found King Jingnan in a white python robe by the river.
"I will finally meet Prince Jingnan!"
Zheng Fan saluted Prince Jingnan very solemnly.
Tian Wujing bent down,
put his hands in the river water and washed them,
said:
"I know how to call you. What's the matter?"
"Um...private matter?"
"That's right."
"Please make it clear, Lord Marquis. "
"Calling you..."
Tian Wujing shook off the water droplets in his hand,
put his hand on the python robe without mercy He wiped it casually and said:
"Look at the scenery."
"..." Zheng Fan.
