Devil’s Advent

"This east wind seems to be strong enough, otherwise Xu Wenzu wouldn't be blown away."

The blind man said while nibbling sunflower seeds.

Obviously, this Dongfeng was definitely not only prepared for Zheng Fan, but also Xu Wenzu.

Zheng Fan held the teacup in his hands and covered his hands, and nodded.

Xu Wenzu, he has his own sensibility, and he is not lacking in ruthlessness. After standing with Emperor Yan in Zhenbeihou Mansion, he no longer has the entanglement of the past.

This kind of person is really terrible when he is doing things wholeheartedly and climbing up the ladder wholeheartedly. This is a very capable bureaucrat.

He can see farther, so he can predict the position suitable for him to borrow in advance and prepare in advance.

"But I still don't understand what this Dongfeng is." Zheng Fan said.

Liang Cheng who was sitting there was also silent.

"This is actually quite normal. My lord, Xu Wenzu has to hand over a huge amount of supplies every day. Although these supplies were copied by the imperial court after the horse stepped on the door, it is impossible to ignore it like a brainless balloon blowing. , Whether it is used or not, it will be sent to the front line in Yinlang County.

There must be a focus, although it is not very obvious, but as long as you grasp these subtle points, you can judge Yanhuang's real plan.

This is an information gap. Without equal information resources, Xu Wenzu can see it, but we can't. This is normal. "

Liang Cheng said:

"You said so much, but you didn't say anything."

"It's just to comfort you. However, one thing is certain. It should be soon. Maybe in this period of time, the real southward movement of Yan Kingdom will begin."

"What's the reason?" Liang Cheng asked.

"One, the Zhenbei army is stepping into the door, and it should be over. The rest of the aftermath can be dealt with by the imperial army of Yanjing or the county soldiers of the eldest prince.

Neither the Marquis of Zhenbei nor the Emperor of Yan could let this saber that has been sharpened in the desert for a hundred years be able to attack only his own people. This is a blasphemy against this saber. "

"You mean, the Zhenbei Army is going south?"

"It should be in the near future."

"What else?" Zheng Fan asked.

"What's more, if there is no war, this winter will be over. Based on the information I have, I have checked the geographical situation from Shangjing to Sanbian.

The three sides of Qian State are the main positions of Qian State to resist Yan. After the three sides, they are Chu County, Xishan County, and Beihe County. After that, they are the capital of Qian State, Bianzhou County, Bianzhou County and Like Tiancheng County in Yan State, the capital of Bianzhou County is Shangjing in Qian State.

After breaking through on three sides, the many counties below are dominated by paddy fields. This is because the paddy fields were forcibly changed many years ago in order to prevent Yan's iron heels from going south.

At the same time, at the junction of Bianzhou County and Beihe County, many years ago, the dry people diverted the water of the river and forcibly diverted it. They tried their best to submerge Baili from time to time, and they also wanted to create a Bianhe River.

These are actually preparations to prevent the Yan people from going south.

It's winter now, everything has turned into frozen soil, even the water of the Bian River has frozen.

If you don't take advantage of this season to use troops, when spring arrives, the ice and snow melt, and the preparations Ganren made to prevent the Yan people's iron cavalry from going south will come in handy. "

paused,

Blind Bei continued:

"Unless Emperor Yan is going to endure another year, but this is obviously impossible. Oh, yes, there is one more thing. After a while, when the war starts, although I don't know what kind of war plan Emperor Yan and the others are going to implement, But assuming that the war goes well, Dayan Iron Cavalry can cross the northern border of the Qian Kingdom from Shangjing to the three sides, which will make the spring plowing on half of the Qian Kingdom's territory go to waste.

The population of the Qian country is large, and if the spring plowing is abandoned, the dry people themselves will suffer from food shortages, which can greatly weaken the war potential of the Qian country.

Furthermore, regardless of the wealth of the Qian country, the people of the Qian country may not live as well as the people of the Yan country.

Over the past few years, peasant uprisings have occurred frequently in the dry country, and when the food shortage recurs, it will really be 'officials forcing the people to rebel'. "

Zheng Fan took a sip of hot tea,

road:

"I'm not afraid that Manzi will know martial arts, but I'm afraid that Manzi will be educated."

The barbarians here do not refer to the barbarians, but the scornful name of the Yan people from the Gan people.

You can't beat a barbarian in the first place, but this barbarian still wants to play tricks and politics with you.

Zheng Fan put down the teacup in his hand, and said again:

"But blind man, all your assumptions are based on the premise that the battle of Yan's iron cavalry went smoothly."

"Whether Emperor Yan can fight, his subordinates don't know, because many people who know how to play politics don't know how to fight, and human energy is limited after all.

However, Zhenbeihou and Jingnanhou have gained the complete trust of Emperor Yan. With these two Houye in charge of formulating the war plan, the subordinates feel that it should have a great effect.

Things in the world are not difficult if you have a specialization in the arts.

The subordinates admit that there are indeed some generals who can fight on Ganren's side, but they definitely don't have the freedom on Yan's side. "

Zheng Fan nodded, stretched his waist, and said:

"I won't take those 1,500 barbarians out this time, you help me do a good job in ideological education."

The blind man nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Hey, someone will definitely die tomorrow." Zheng Fan felt a little pained.

In Xu Wenzu's words, he had made it clear that tomorrow he wanted his Cui Liu Castle to work hard.

"I don't want the child to be caught by the wolf. Besides, my lord, in this world, there is no reason to just take the benefits and not do things."

"I understand this truth. By the way, San'er still has no news?"

"No."

"Put Manqi out a little more and look for it. San'er can't die so easily."

"The subordinate obeys."

"Let the brethren have a good time tonight."

"The subordinate understands."

The blind man and Liang Cheng looked at each other, and they could clearly see that their master was not in a good mood.

But, this is war.

"I'm tired."

"The subordinate will leave."

"The subordinate will leave."

The blind man and Liang Cheng both went out, and soon, Si Niang opened the door and walked in. At the same time, she pulled the latch of the door.

"My lord, do you want to take a bath?"

"What time is it?" Zheng Fan smiled.

"Tomorrow is going to be a war, the Lord has to rest early to recharge your batteries for tomorrow."

"It's too early to sleep."

"Well, you can fall asleep once you come out."

"hehe."

"My lord, is this servant going to boil water?"

"Okay, I'm really a little tired, so go to bed early."

"What color do you want to choose today, my lord?"

"Flesh-colored."

…………

"Hey, have you heard that the Yan people's general named Zheng Fan was killed by our major general?"

"But that Yangou Zheng Fan who attacked Mianzhou City twice?"

"It must be."

"Really killed?"

"Kill it, the head has already been picked back by our major general. This time, our major general led us to lead a large number of cavalry and directly entered the country of Yan. He even picked up four army strongholds of the Yan people and captured and killed the Yan dog Zheng. Fan."

"Hey, this is amazing."

"Hey, look, look, before our western army went north, the frontier troops on these three sides were suppressed and beaten by the Yan people, and they wished to be humiliated by the Yan people riding on their necks. Now that our western army has come up, it's not Did you call them back directly?

Zhiniang thief, it has always been rumored that the Yan people's iron cavalry is the best in the world, I think it is nothing more than that. "

"That's right, that's right."

The two fire-headed soldiers were talking at the mouth of the well while washing vegetables, but they didn't know that there was a pair of ears under the mouth of the well eavesdropping on what they said.

What, the Lord is dead?

Xue Sanxian was shocked!

Then subconsciously touched his body, um, it didn't disappear.

Moreover, he didn't seem to die violently!

Huh,

Hahahahahaha!

It turns out that the Lord is dead and I don't need to die!

After surprise and joy,

Xue San felt it silently again, and found that his strength hadn't changed in any way.

Bah, I really can't believe what Fan Li said.

The Lord died, and our limitations did not disappear.

After some violent mood swings, Xue San fell silent again.

well,

The Lord is dead,

heart,

Suddenly there was a faint sadness.

At the same time, looking at the Fu Wang's head wrapped in cloth and pickled in his arms at that moment,

Suddenly, he didn't feel so cute anymore.

His own master was also beheaded.

Xue San suddenly felt a little confused in life. On the one hand, he felt that he was free, which was something he had always dreamed of, but what followed was emptiness.

It seems that I haven't really thought about it seriously, what will I do after I am free?

If the Lord is dead, wouldn't the blind Si Niang and the others probably also be gone?

A feeling of loneliness welled up in my heart.

Xue San decided not to wait any longer. In fact, it's not that he hasn't tried to go out these days, but this Mianzhou city must have lived in a certain important person, and the subordinates of that important person even guarded the city tightly. .

Xue San tried several times to get out but had to retreat back into the well.

He's an assassin, and it's his instinct to make sure he strikes.

But after hearing the news of Zheng Fan's death, Xue San couldn't help but feel a little self-defeating.

So, after the two guys outside washed the dishes and left, Xue San went out of the well again.

In his hand, he still held Fu Wang's head.

Since the master is dead, it stands to reason that this head is meaningless.

But there is no way, these days at the mouth of the well, Xue San can only chat with Fu Wang's head. At this time, Fu Wang is not a head in his eyes, but a cute doll that has been with him for a long time.

This yard has become a "cooking class", so after eating the bacon, Xue San has no shortage of food, but after leaving this cooking class, the defenses outside suddenly become stricter, especially around the city wall. By the way, let alone myself, I can't even fly a bird.

"Gurrrrrrrrrrrr......"

The sound of wheels came from beyond the wall.

Xue San immediately leaned against the wall, poked his head out and found that it was actually a Yexiang car.

The Western Army is strict in governing the army. This kind of strictness is actually reflected in the convenience and hygiene. The generals will make extremely strict regulations on the hygiene in the military camps wherever they need to be stationed for a long time. This is how many years of war history The summed up experience, because in many cases, it may not be the enemy that defeats an army, but plagues and infectious diseases.

A few auxiliary soldiers beside the Yexiang cart went to the house next door to collect the barrels, where the Yexiang cart was parked.

Xue San sighed,

Quickly took off the golden silk soft hedgehog that he was wearing inside, wrapped Fu Wang's head well,

Then…

...

In the morning, Zheng Fan led 1,000 Green Willow Fort cavalry out of the fort. Because he wanted to appease and "educate" the 1,500 newly arrived barbarians, the original barbarians in the fort had to stay to help remember the bitterness. .

Most of these thousand riders are criminal soldiers, and they all have smiles on their faces, because yesterday, the documents describing the merits of Nanwang City came down, and the messengers should be on their way. Their clansmen will soon be killed by them won freedom for his military exploits.

They used to be the children of a high and powerful family, but they were once thrown into the clouds. Fortunately, they can start again.

However, Zheng Fan was not in a good mood, because he knew that Xu Wenzu gathered the elite of the six major soldiers, including himself, to fight a battle that had never happened before at the Yangan border. war.

And myself, as Xu Wenzu's direct descendant, must set an example, what example?

To be the first to charge, to be the first to ascend the city,

exert the greatest force,

The most dead!

To others, Zheng Fan can be ruthless without hesitation, but to his own soldiers, Zheng Shoubei still has a bit of hypocrisy in his heart.

But just as the blind man said, how could one not die in a war.

The team arrived on time at the meeting point agreed yesterday, and the six general soldiers gathered here a total of nearly ten thousand cavalry!

Of course, this is not to take out all the veterans, because there are still people at home to guard.

But this time, the ones pulled out are definitely the elites of the various commanders.

Even so, the Cuiliu Castle cavalry is still the most handsome among the nearly ten thousand cavalry.

No matter from the perspective of war horses or armor ordnance, they are all luxurious.

They didn't know that these things didn't all come from Xu Wenzu's back door, but from the input of the sixth prince. Therefore, many people looked at the army of Green Willow Castle with deep jealousy in their eyes.

Not being jealous is a mediocrity, Zheng Fan is quite used to this, and he is not interested in saying hello to these colleagues here.

Zheng Shoubei, who was in a bad mood, just sat silently on the horseback in his armor.

This made all the cavalry of the thousand Green Willow Castle behind him look like this, Bibi sat upright on the horseback, no one was staggering.

This can't help but make the cavalry under the other chief soldiers who rushed to rest in advance and have a rest somewhere nearby a little uncomfortable, but all soldiers have a tradition of not fighting for steamed buns.

This is silently compared to others, who can stand it?

Even if I can bear it, when my boss and other bigwigs come out together to see such a contrasting scene, will the boss be able to bear it?

So the army leaders, school lieutenants and guards began to reprimand the soldiers under their command, asking everyone to put on a show.

Zheng Fan ignored the messy and complaining scenes around him, but silently looked ahead.

"My lord, I got the news that the Three Moons Fort was all out in the middle of the night last night. It should be to investigate the situation."

Zheng Fan nodded and said to Liang Cheng:

"It should be planning to build a fortress."

Sanyue Fort, like Zheng Fan's Green Willow Fort, was under the rule of Xu Wenzu. Obviously, the defense of Sanyue Fort should have been ordered by Xu Wenzu to investigate the situation on the battlefield.

In the past few months, under the orders of the Marquis of Jingnan, the frontline army chiefs in Yinlang County of Yan Kingdom have often fought against the Suibao of Qianguo Fortress. a few teeth.

But because a unified large-scale collaboration has never been formed, it failed to really open up the situation.

Obviously, Xu Wenzu intends to gather his forces, and under his own auspices, he will personally open a big hole in Qianguo's fortress system!

Not to mention the small fortress, when attacking, the arrows outside were suppressed, and then they rushed up, and there were dozens of dry soldiers inside, and they took down some of their men.

But in the Great Fortress, there are hundreds or even thousands of guards inside. If you want to make a big hole, it is impossible to leave this kind of Great Fortress unattended.

Thinking that the cavalry under his command might take the lead and turn into infantry to attack the city later,

Zheng Shoubei's teeth itch with hatred.

But form is better than people, you can't do anything about it.

Yesterday, my performance in front of Xu Wenzu, I think I should have fooled Xu Wenzu, and there is also news that my position as a general will come down after a while.

But official positions are all false. In Dayan, the most important thing is the soldiers and horses under him.

If the powerful soldiers are exhausted, they will have to rely on barbarians to conquer the world again.

This is actually a big constraint on my future development. The high quality of the elite soldiers is not only reflected on the battlefield.

Xu Wenzu didn't wear armor, but a blue official robe, with a sword tied around his waist. Behind him, five general soldiers were all wearing armor, walking swiftly.

after they come out,

All the Yan troops around shouted:

"See my lord!"

With armor on, you don't need to kneel down.

But under the premise of not organizing everything by spontaneity,

The Thousand Riders of Green Willow Castle is the neatest one, giving people a completely different feeling.

This is what Green Willow Fort requires, the purpose, on the surface, is to say that only when the military discipline is in harmony, is the real iron army style, but in fact, it is to match the fun of the owner.

Xu Wenzu's eyes fell on Zheng Fan and the cavalry behind him. Obviously, he was very satisfied with Zheng Fan's attitude.

Today's battle is not only to regain face for the loss caused by Qianqi's northward march the night before yesterday, but most importantly, it is to establish Xu Wenzu's position as a front-line feudal official in Yinlang County!

Looking at the excited Xu Wenzu, Zheng Fan felt a little tired.

Also, in the past, when people opened the back door for you, you called them Xu Pangpang;

Now people want you to work hard and let you go to death, he will become a fat pig.

People are all like this.

What makes Zheng Fan most dissatisfied is that since he decided to really take down these fortresses, why didn't he make preparations earlier?

If Zheng Fan came to organize this matter, he would rather spend another half a month to build enough ladders and catapults, so that many people would be killed less.

But obviously, sometimes a bureaucrat is a bureaucrat. Even if he is patriotic, he is still a bureaucrat. People think about problems from a different angle from their own.

Xu Fat Pig drew out his saber,

lifted into the air,

shouted:

"Soldiers, revenge and border opening are today!"

First, the five general soldiers behind Xu Wenzu drew their sabers,

Immediately afterwards, all the sergeants present raised their weapons and shouted:

"Tiger!"

"Tiger!"

"Tiger!"

at this time,

A group of cavalry came back from the outside, and the leader was Lord Marshal himself.

With a warm smile on Xu Wenzu's face, when the Sanyue Fort guard stopped and dismounted in front of him, he took the initiative to step forward to support him, saying:

"Fang Dao, thank you for your hard work."

Fangdao, the defender of Sanyue Fort, looked a little embarrassed.

Xu Wenzu found out,

asked:

"What's the result of the investigation?"

Xu Wenzu selected the locations of the three breaches. Last night, he ordered Qiu Fangdao to lead his army out to investigate the situation, because Sanyue Fort is also his direct descendant. At the same time, the location of Sanyue Fort is at the southernmost tip of Yinlang County.

Qiu Fangdao clasped his hands and replied:

"Returning to the adults, the situation...the situation has changed."

Xu Wenzu froze for a moment,

The swearing-in meeting has been held here, and everyone's emotions have been mobilized. You tell me that the situation has changed?

"What's changed? But the Qianrenxi Army moved forward?"

"No, no, go back to your lord's words."

Qiu Fangdao gritted his teeth,

Loudly:

"My lord, all the Qian people have abandoned the fortress and retreated for thirty miles. Right now, all the fortresses on the border of the Qian Kingdom are empty!"

"..." Xu Wenzu.
