Devil’s Advent

Zhong Tianlang felt very good about himself and led his army back to the south after showing off. After he left, Zheng Fan asked Liang Cheng to lead five hundred cavalry to pretend to chase after him.

Liang Cheng knew it well, and he didn't rush forward, because he still wanted to prevent the silver-armored general from killing his carbine. Anyway, he was riding in front, and Liang Cheng was escorting him, giving him a little pressure.

This scene is very similar to when Zheng Fan led his army back from Qian Kingdom a while ago, and the cavalry from all walks of life in Qian Kingdom were escorting them.

There is a rule in the Art of War called "Don't hide when you return to your teacher, don't chase after the poor".

This is the situation we are talking about. If the other party is determined to go home, if you stop it, the other party will definitely fight you hard. Let alone whether you can stop the other party, you will definitely lose a lot on your side.

In fact, this so-called pursuit, that is, for the subsequent "accountability", has an excuse to defend itself.

Probably, only Zheng Fan can use Liang Cheng to do this kind of thing.

When the sky was turning white, Liang Cheng led his army back, and as many people went out, as many people came back, and none of them was missing.

Zheng Fan took the time to wash and sleep, and the cold wind that blew on the city wall in the middle of the night was really unbearable.

When I woke up, it was already noon.

Zheng Fan could sleep, but others could not. After Liang Cheng came back in the morning, he changed to another five-hundred-man ride and drove out.

Naturally, this time it was not to chase the enemy, but to clean the battlefield.

That's right, after the Gan people finished their battle, Fort Green Willow came to clean up the battlefield.

When Zheng Fan came out after washing up and having a meal, he found that there were hundreds of routs sitting on the outside field eating lunch there.

The looks of these routs are not very good, and they all have panicked looks on their faces, but they should all be hungry and gobble up there.

Zheng Fan walked up to the wall and asked the blind man who used a cane instead of a wheelchair,

"How many people gathered?"

"Looks like he's in his early 300s."

"not bad."

"Well, it's really not bad."

Last night Ganqi picked out a small fort, plus four military strongholds. The Yan army suffered a lot of casualties. Of course, there were also many who were able to escape from the camp.

After all, it was a surprise night battle at night, and it was impossible to have a sip without any juice leakage.

"These people, since we have accepted them, it is impossible to spit them out again."

Zheng Shoubei gave the guiding ideology.

In fact, regardless of the fact that Zheng Fan has made a lot of military achievements on Dayan's side, and he still doesn't know that there is still a prince's head still waiting to be signed for in transit;

But strictly speaking, Zheng Shoubei's actions not only did not deviate from the style of warlords, but even more resembled warlords than warlords.

Before the real tough battle, shrink back and divert trouble, and after the war, quickly respond to absorb strength.

In fact, Zheng Fan cannot be blamed for being too dark, but this world taught Zheng Fan this truth when Zheng Fan first became a civilian husband.

If the heart is not dark enough, or there is still a naive person in the heart, the grass on the head of the grave will not know how high it is.

It's not that Zheng Fan has never thought about whether he can stand on the cusp of the storm for a so-called righteousness and shout "deadly fight and never retreat".

But it's just thinking about it. After all, this is a brand new world, not the history that I am familiar with. If it is time travel in the traditional sense, as a time traveler, maybe I will really feel that way.

"My lord, these subordinates intend to classify them as the lowest class, and they will be promoted after they have military merits."

"Well, I agree."

Kui Zu, naturally you have to look like a Kui Zu, taking you in to protect you from punishment is enough, let's not talk about the rest of the status.

At this moment, a messenger came over and conveyed the military order, saying that Xu Wenzu was nearby and asked Zheng Shoubei to go and see him.

Zheng Shoubei didn't hesitate, put on his armor and went out with A Ming.

Xu Wenzu's location was not far from Green Willow Fort. At this time, his fat body was sitting in the middle of a military camp, which was already devastated.

Beside Xu Wenzu, there were hundreds of guards of Nanwang City, and five other chief soldiers who had seen in the signing room yesterday.

After Zheng Fan came, he just stood behind and didn't say anything.

Xu Wenzu sat there like a mountain of meat, and the depressive emotions emanating from him could indeed be presented in the form of official authority.

Big guy, just stood like this for a long time, finally, Xu Wenzu raised his head, and there was a flash of light flowing through the narrow eyes.

He spread his hands,

road:

"Everyone knows the matter. The official didn't call everyone here to hold everyone accountable, because this face has already been lost, and it doesn't make any sense to be held accountable or not.

This time, the dry person knocked at the door, and the dry person left in a grandiose manner.

Your Majesty, you, you, you, all of you here,

One by one, none of them can escape,

It is not a pity to die! "

Xu Wenzu didn't try to shirk his responsibilities, and he didn't look for any reasons. In fact, it was almost a day later, but there was still no news from the Jingnan Army camp.

Lord Hou must know what happened last night, but Lord Hou still didn't say anything.

This kind of silence is very strange, but it is often the most terrifying.

"I care a lot about official positions. I also care about things like wealth and life. I believe you also care about them."

Xu Wenzu said his eyes swept over all the people present,

"To say something that is not afraid of breaking taboos, a family of hundreds of years, if you say nothing, it will be gone. What is our wealth and status?

Right now, the national war is imminent, you and I, everyone, what you really want is just this little bit of military power in your hands?

This is a national war, this is a national war!

I, Dayan, have waited for this opportunity again for a hundred years, and the history is right in front of me. We may have the opportunity to leave a name in the history!

To tell you the truth, on the side of Lord Hou of Jingnan, I sent someone to deliver the booklet to the camp in the morning, but there was no word from Lord Hou.

In the signing room yesterday, you and I both said that the Jingnan Army and the Zhenbei Army are too few in Dayan, and we have to launch a strong army.

Okay, I just finished speaking, and I was slapped that night.

I was born in the north, and in the north, I only talk about one truth, that is, how many people you barbarians dare to come to the border of our country of Yan to kill, the Zhenbei army will go to the desert to kill twice as many people! "

talking,

Xu Wenzu took a deep breath,

shouted:

"We usually fight against each other in the nest, but this time, it's not as simple as fighting in the nest. Tomorrow, all families and ministries, don't hide it, and call out the most capable troops under your command!

Gather here, organize the army here, and we will go to Qianguo together. If the Qianren killed one of us last night, we will kill two of them tomorrow.

If you don't kill enough, you will never return to camp!

Lao Tzu's soldiers were the first to attack the city, and the first to pull out the stronghold!

You should take the military merits first, and I will make up for the damaged ordnance and troops after the war!

I just want to ask,

Damn it's a man with luanzi,

Do you dare to fight for this breath tomorrow together! "

Xu Wenzu shouted very excitedly, his face was already flushed, and he was still steaming.

The five general officers present knelt down on one knee,

He clasped his fists and said in a deep voice:

"The last general takes orders!"

Everyone's officers are at the same level, and Xu Wenzu is also the chief soldier, but because of different errands, Xu Wenzu can overwhelm them on weekdays, but at this moment, these five chief soldiers regard Xu Wenzu as their superior and themselves as their subordinates. .

It's not that Xu Wenzu's words just now are so provocative,

They're all grown-ups, and they're still old bastards who came out of the army, and they can't be incited by young people with just a few slogans.

The reason for this, first of all, was the incident last night, which made Dayan face a big face, and let the dry people kill him in and out again.

Secondly, they themselves knew in their hearts that right now, they really needed a leader who would lead everyone to gather their strength together and come back after a comeback first.

Since Xu Wenzu is willing to say this, it proves that he has already taken this attitude. Besides, being able to rush here from his own village at Xu Wenzu's order is a little emotionally suitable for this side, and it has already been done. Initially screened.

Zheng Fan and other guards and captains also knelt on the ground on one knee, agreeing in unison.

"Let's not engage in any blood-to-blood alliance anymore, we are the Dayan army, not copycat bandits, I hope everyone has not forgotten that I am a Yan people!

Alright, let's go back and prepare. Tomorrow, we will gather our troops here and set out! "

All the generals left one after another.

Zheng Fan stayed.

Xu Wenzu's eyes indicated that Zheng Fan followed him into a half-collapsed tent. Outside, there were guards guarding others so that it was impossible for others to approach.

"Phew... I'm so mad!"

After entering the tent, Xu Wenzu sat down on the ground cursing.

Zheng Fan also sat on the ground together.

This time, Zheng Fan was not as natural and warm as before when he faced Xu Wenzu.

"This place is so close to your Castle of Green Willow, why didn't you hear any news last night?"

Xu Wenzu began to ask questions.

Zheng Fan smiled wryly and said: "In the entire border fortress, I was the only one who lit the beacon last night in Cuiliu Fort."

Xu Wenzu was choked.

Although there are many soldiers piled up on the border of Dayan, Xu Wenzu is also clear about the chaotic system here.

Firstly, this is the fault of the predecessor Xiao Dahai, and even the fault of the disabling system of the fortress. Secondly, the imperial court has sent many general officers to come here. With so many troops coming, Jingnanhou is not responsible. Sorting out, everyone is like a headless chicken, and there is no one in charge. It is strange that they can be organized.

"Sigh." Xu Wenzu sighed, looking at Zheng Fan with a softer gaze.

In fact, Zheng Fan also knew in his heart, regardless of what Xu Wenzu said to himself in Hutou City that he was going to dedicate the city to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, in fact, Xu Wenzu is different from himself.

Xu Wenzu is an out-and-out Yanman, and now Zhenbeihou is obviously standing with Emperor Yan and preparing to go south, and if he eats ugly here to save his strength to avoid the war, and throws it to Xu Wenzu, he dares to turn his face and deny anyone.

To put it bluntly, some of the arrangements and decoration methods last night were actually performed for Xu Wenzu. Xu Pangpang is now his biggest backer, and he still manages so many supplies in Nanwang City, so he naturally had to coax them.

"My lord, last night I sent troops to chase after that dry cavalry, but I couldn't catch up. The opponent has a lot of troops, and I'm afraid of being ambushed."

In this sentence, half-truths, half-false.

Xu Wenzu nodded, indicating that he knew, but his expression was a little pale.

Obviously, Xu Wenzu guessed something, and deliberately passed this emotion to Zheng Fan.

He suspected that Zheng Fan was avoiding the battle, and he was still warning Zheng Fan in this way.

Xu Wenzu has served as a civil official, military officer, and eaten sand in the Northland. How could he not know the truth here?

If you don't take some enemy corpses from your pursuit, what is it called a pursuit?

Zheng Fan smiled wryly again:

"My lord, the target of that dry ride is the subordinate."

Xu Wenzu was stunned, and he didn't care about what kind of expression the message was conveyed. He turned to look at Zheng Fan and asked:

"And how did you know?"

"Last night, the lord of the cavalry came outside my Green Willow Castle, held up a human head, and said that he had killed Zheng Fan, the defender of Green Willow Castle, and destroyed the Green Willow Castle, and asked us to clean his head and wait for him to retrieve it later. "

"..." Xu Wenzu.

Xu Wenzu's face turned blue from the suffocation, as if he wanted to laugh but had to hold back.

Laughing at this time is tantamount to a complete failure, but damn, this thing is really funny, hahahaha!

"The subordinates couldn't see who the head belonged to, but thinking about it, the cavalry general must have recognized the wrong person and hit the wrong place. Therefore, when the other party left, it was a bit too much for the subordinates to lead the army to pursue. Be cautious, because the subordinates know that the opponent's target is the subordinates, the Green Willow Castle.

The subordinates can be defeated, or they can lose troops and generals. To put it bluntly, if you can keep the dry cavalry, even if you wipe out all the Cui Liu Fort under your subordinates, your subordinates will not frown!

However, when the two countries are at war, what they pay attention to is a competition of momentum.

The subordinates have entered the army a few times and have achieved good military exploits. They praised me as a great Yan Guowei. The names of the subordinates must have already been placed on the desks of the generals of the Qian Kingdom.

It is possible for subordinates to lose, but if Green Willow Fort is gone, or their subordinates are killed, they will really take their heads.

The influence here is much greater than the gains and losses of a subordinate and a fortress. "

"well!"

Xu Wenzu lowered his head, and finally suppressed that smile, he stretched out his hand and patted Zheng Fan's shoulder,

road:

"It's true. Last night, you must not have an accident. If you have an accident, this time, our face in the Yan Kingdom will be lost too much. The most important thing is that if you really let that dry horse take you Going back with his head, dry people's side, morale will definitely increase.

I reckon that General Qianren probably fought Xinghuazhai as Cuiliu Fort, because the other forts are too small, and there are more soldiers and horses in Xinghuazhai. "

Zheng Fan was a little shocked and said:

"Isn't that the head that the dry general held up with his spear last night? It's General Deng Shen?"

Xu Wenzu nodded and said:

"Eight or nine is close to ten."

Zheng Fan sighed, there was no trace of schadenfreude on his face, only a hint of sadness.

Although there are contradictions, after all, they are all from Yan, they are all from Yan Jun, and they are all from Pao Ze, alas...

This level should not be too much, otherwise it will be a bit fake. Fortunately, Zheng Fan's acting skills have been greatly improved in this world, and Xu Wenzu is also the first opponent to compete with him, and he is also very skilled.

Xu Wenzu pursed his lips,

Seeing Zheng Fan's expression,

To comfort Zheng Fan, he said:

"Don't think about these things anymore. If you go north, whoever you fight is not a fight. They are all Yan Jun, and there is no such thing as a wrong fight. Last night, what made me feel a little relieved was that a general, four All the guards were killed in battle, and no one survived."

Zheng Fan clenched his fists tightly,

road:

"They are all my Dayan's... Haoerlang!"

"Well, that's right, you can have the fifteen hundred barbarians go to me and take them away later, and I've prepared all the horses and armor for them, so it's a matter of urgency.

This time several soldiers under his command suffered losses, especially that General Yang, Deng Ziliang was under his command. This time the entire Xinghuazhai army was wiped out, and he suffered the biggest loss.

I'm afraid they're going to attack that barbarian again, so you should take it back and eat it sooner.

And today's matter, don't talk about it anymore, let the dry people say what they say, and let's stop talking about it ourselves. "

"The subordinate understands."

"Well, I gave you the soldiers, and I also gave you the war horse ordnance. You heard it just now. I issued the military order in front of the five general soldiers.

Tomorrow, you have to work hard for me and help me earn this face! "

"Don't dare die!"

"Die, don't die, but tomorrow, don't hide it, I know, your subordinates are really capable of fighting, so let me fight well.

Tomorrow, if the scene is finished, I will be able to win over these five generals under my command. "

If so, stop here.

Xu Wenzu has already said everything about raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while.

I will give you Zheng Fanbing, I will give you weapons, and I will support you like this, but I want you to help me go forward and fight!

Just like the little six sons who sponsored Zheng Fan like this, they also thought that Zheng Fan could rise in the army, and in the future, he would have a military assistance when he was fighting for a big position or saving his life.

In this world, there has never been such a good thing as a pie in the sky.

At the same time, Xu Wenzu also wanted to use this matter to bind the five general soldiers to his chariot, which again involved political considerations.

"My lord, don't worry, Green Willow Castle will definitely not let you down tomorrow!"

"Well, okay, you go back and get ready, I have to go back and pack up."

Zheng Fan helped Xu Wenzu up,

After Xu Wenzu stood up, his hand was still holding Zheng Fan's wrist,

Meaningfully said:

"Yesterday, I already reported your military achievements."

"Thank you, my lord."

"Don't thank me, you earned this by yourself, what I want to say is that in this life, you have to grasp something.

It’s like releasing paper kites, you have to have the wind to put them up. You are capable and have always been appreciated by the big people above. This is your blessing, but don’t be slack and complacent. "

Zheng Fan frowned slightly, thinking about the deep meaning of Xu Wenzu's words.

Xu Wenzu patted the back of Zheng Fan's hand again,

road:

"The wind is about to rise, you have to catch it, if you catch it..."

"Caught it, what should I do?"

Xu Wenzu stretched out his hand to lift the tent, bent down and walked out,

Looking up at the blue sky,

road:

"Go to heaven."
