Devil’s Advent

"I am tired."

The regent rubbed his eyebrows.

In this regard, the regent feels that he is not bad. The emperor of Yan Kingdom dared to trust his two princes so much, and he could also trust Nian Yao the same.

but,

As the war continued,

In the north of Zhennanguan, the Yan people successively broke down the city and the village, so they had to shrink their defenses.

The nobles and many people in the court began to change the direction of the wind.

The number of excerpts criticizing Nian Yao began to increase, and there were not a few insinuations.

On the side, Xiong Tingshan, who was leaning there and eating an apple while crossing his legs, smiled and said:

"Fourth brother, those flies, if you don't listen to them, they will only cause trouble."

The regent shook his head, threw the bag in his hand aside, leaned back slightly, and changed into a comfortable position,

road:

"I'm a little lucky now, I'm glad that the emperor of the Yan Kingdom stepped into the door and opened the imperial examination, which completely cut off the thoughts of the nobles of our Chu Kingdom.

The horse step gate valve was smashed with a hammer, and the imperial examination was really using a soft knife to cut their roots.

Although it is said that the country is governed by imperial examinations like the Qian Kingdom, but in a hundred years, those scholar-bureaucrats seem to be similar to our nobles, but in the final analysis, a new group of people has to be replaced. Naturally, there will be a large number of people will go down.

If this is not the case,

It is also difficult for me to gather us nobles together in a short period of time and let them send troops, food and people. "

Xiong Tingshan chewed the apple and said:

"If you don't step on the door, how does Ji Runhao rely on to start a war? They are all dependent on each other."

If the Yan State was still the same Yan State, with a lot of powerful families, and they came to fight at this time, under the might of the soldiers, it is impossible to say that these great Chu nobles would spend no effort to mobilize foreign workers.

At worst, Xiong's family will go to Yanjing and open a Chu Palace next to the Jin Palace. They, the big nobles, will have a master named Ji on their heads, and everyone will continue to live their lives.

Of course, there is a high probability that life will not be as stable as before, and everyone is familiar with Xiong's family. There must be a lot of friction and inconvenience when changing the head of the family, but at least, everyone has a way out.

If Emperor Yan only wanted a nominal unification, then everyone might as well give it to him.

Just like the royal court in the desert, when the royal court was at its strongest a hundred years ago, it was not really able to control most of the tribes in the desert, but was able to order them to fight under their own banner.

This is what a wolf does;

but,

What Emperor Yan did was really decisive.

It is also because the big guys know that when the Yan people come in, they are not the ones to be wooed, but the ones to be liquidated and attacked. The 800-year decency and honor will no longer exist, so they quickly gathered in the Xiong family. Together, let's fight against the Yan people.

Fundamental contradictions were caught, and everyone agreed, and the rest, in fact, were minor details.

"The way to a strong country is right in front of you, but I can't do it. If I can, I only hate that my father died a few years later, and I waited a few years longer. Otherwise, I can't say that I will be able to go ahead before Ji Runhao." Clean up the country, and when the time comes, it will not be the Yan people who fight to the front of Zhennan Pass, but our Chu army, who will go to question the horseshoe mountain."

The Fifth Prince didn't have a good impression of the late emperor. As a son who was almost abandoned by the late emperor, it was not a big deal to use disrespectful words to the late emperor in front of him.

"Fourth brother, it's your fault. It's because you have a good temper. If you had told my brother earlier, my brother might be able to help you clean up the king's side in advance, haha."

Xiong Tingshan laughed while talking.

The regent gave Xiong Tingshan an angry look. Since he put down his guard and entered Yingdu, he, the fifth younger brother, has become more and more natural in front of him.

However, the Prince Regent liked the feeling of brotherhood.

Because the other brothers have been imprisoned by him, and they are only responsible for giving birth to children.

"Besides, Nian Yao's slave, I agree with his fighting skills. Let's not say whether he was intentional or not, but to be honest, as long as our big Chu survives this battle, he will retreat.

For one thing, most of the private soldiers of these nobles were wiped out, and their vitality was greatly damaged.

To put it bluntly, in this battle of the world, the position of the dragon chair, 30% of them are justified, and 70% of them are strong in soldiers and horses. If those big nobles are all like the Jing family, we are willing to enshrine them one by one.

Second, after this battle, fourth brother, you are in the middle to dispatch, over there, the soldiers and horses will be merged. After a battle, what kind of private soldiers are not private soldiers, even if they were before, after the war, they will all become our Chu army up.

Three, if this battle is won, the fourth brother will ascend to the throne with great momentum, and then take over the power, it will be much more calm. "

"Borrowing a Yan people's knife to cut the tumor on your body, fifth brother, you really dare to think about it. You know, if the knife is a bit too far, if it goes in an inch, maybe this life will be gone."

"If you lose, you lose. If you win, you win. It depends on fate. I believe in the ability of the fourth brother. I think my brother, I didn't miss it.

By the way, according to Yangcheng mutton soup is very famous, I have already sent someone to ask the master to make it, and the fourth brother will also have a bowl later? "

The regent nodded.

"Actually, younger brother, I also know that the fourth elder brother went out to Beijing with great fanfare this time to make a show for Nian Yao's servant, first to calm Nian Yao's heart, and second, to calm the mouths of those people.

But Ying Du is the core of my Great Chu, and without my fourth brother around, I feel uneasy. "

"Don't worry, after leaving the capital city, at most half a county further north, I will return to the capital. I will go out and walk around, just to make this posture clear and tell those people, I will trust my slave, and I will never I will not change coaches just before the battle, and do such a stupid thing that digs my own grave;

If Nian Yao can't defend the Zhennan Pass, then I, at worst, will go to the imperial conquest.

Say a thousand words and ten thousand words,

In fact, it’s more useful not to walk by yourself;

Those people, even if I tell them what's in my heart, they also think it's the emperor's mind. If you want to figure out my deep meaning, you say it's ridiculous. "

"Who is called the emperor and the only husband? Isn't it because of this? Even my younger brother, when I talk to you, fourth brother, it seems frank, but in fact I am cautious."

"You asked for a beating, didn't you?"

"That's right, fourth brother is merciful, we really can't beat you, admit defeat, admit defeat."

The brothers really fought,

Xiong Tingshan was defeated.

Most of the time, Xiong Tingshan didn't think that there was anything so great about that Great Yan Army God, the peak third-rank martial artist, and he still used soldiers like a god?

But the emperor of our Great Chu is also a master, and he can still govern the country.

at this time,

Deng Man hurried in,

kneeling on the ground,

Without waiting for the regent to ask, he answered directly:

"Your Majesty, according to the military report from the front, a soldier from the Yan Army suddenly appeared on the Wei River and broke through Jingcheng!"

Xiong Tingshan crushed the remaining half of the apple in his hand, stood up abruptly, and shouted:

"What!"

The regent also froze,

"How can it be?"

But such a serious military situation cannot be wrong.

"Jingcheng is lost? How did the Yan people come from behind?" Xiong Tingshan almost roared.

As soon as Jingcheng was lost, the situation in the entire Shanggu County instantly deteriorated to the point where it could not be worsened!

The regent immediately calmed down,

road:

"Prince Ding accepts the order!"

Xiong Tingshan knelt down immediately,

"The younger brother is here!"

"I order you to lead the army northward quickly, and you must recover Jingcheng as soon as possible. I don't care how the Yan army came here. I want you to completely wipe them out!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

immediately,

Xiong Tingshan looked up at the regent,

road:

"Your Majesty, please return to Beijing quickly and take charge of the overall situation."

The Regent waved his hand,

road:

"No, I have to stay in Yangcheng for a few more days. The news of Jingcheng's fall cannot be concealed. I can't be in a hurry. I have to stabilize it. This big Chu can be stabilized.

After a few days, I will return to Beijing. "

………

According to legend, when Han Xianggong was not yet in the Privy Council, he led the troops into the Southwest Pingtusi rebellion as a civil servant. He had just joined the Southwest Army. The generals can implement and understand his established policies.

Han Xianggong has mentioned countless times that "soldiers are precious and fast", "the battlefield is changing rapidly" and other similar concepts,

so,

He hoped that the dry army would plow through the enemy's holes with lightning speed.

At that time, the stabbing-faced gentleman who was not a commander-in-chief nor entered the Privy Council and was not a minister stood up, facing the face of Han Xianggong, a civil official, and said:

The dry army should fight steadily, step by step, first protect the food road, then defend the army camp, and take the strategy of disintegrating and disintegrating the enemy, slowly eating away at it.

Han Xianggong immediately ordered,

For the crime of fearing the enemy and cowardly fighting, he whipped and stabbed his face-to-face for thirty!

In the military books and stories written by literati, or what is called literally, everything that falls on the surface habitually simplifies complicated things and generalizes extreme things.

Han Xianggong felt that he was familiar with military books, literary and military strategies, so he should take a radical strategy and report to the Beijing officials as soon as possible for the Southwest victory;

Then,

The dry army was defeated.

But because of the big defeat, Han Xianggong held a grudge against the stabbed general. If he won a big victory, he might not be able to spare him.

…

"This story sounds interesting." Uncle Zheng laughed while sitting on the deck with a cup of tea in his left hand.

It was He Chunlai who told the story in front of him.

In fact, He Chunlai, like Chen Daole, also came from a large cultural and educational family, and he has read a lot of books, so he can remember these famous anecdotes very clearly.

"Actually, in the past, Ben Bo also felt that when fighting a war, you should start with a clever plan, then hit the pad with a thunderbolt, and finally, end with the act of sweeping the fallen leaves with the autumn wind.

Stupid battles are fought by incompetent people.

But now it seems that in this world, where did the magic trick come from, where did the military flag come from, and it was wiped out.

It was those few battles, one was the beginning of the Jin Dynasty, and three years ago, King Jingnan personally joined the battle and went through it once;

The first time I entered the snowfield, it seemed that I only brought 30,000 Jingnan troops to sweep the area, but Liang Cheng had personally cleared the road across the mountains, and Siniang and the blind man had also arranged a grain storage cave in advance;

King Jingnan even took me personally to the snowy field ahead of time.

In the battle of Wangjiang, King Jingnan did not move because of anger?

otherwise,

At that time, the Chu State's navy was powerful, and the navy sailed across the river, and Dayan's iron cavalry could not fly over. He was waiting, waiting for the Wangjiang River to freeze, and waiting for the Chu people's navy to withdraw from Jindi.

Fighting a war is really the same as singing on stage. People only see the scenery in front of the stage, but forget the fifteen minutes on stage and ten years of hard work off stage. "

"What Uncle said is very true."

Although lying on the gun, Gou Moli was still the first to express his sincere convincing.

Uncle Zheng waved his hand,

road:

"This is one of them. Furthermore, as soon as the military situation is announced, the military order is issued again, the troops and horses are mobilized, and all parties make preparations. Even if I stay in Jingcheng for three days, in fact, three days is not enough. arrive.

But after destroying the nearest group of Chu people's garrison, we didn't see the second group of Chu people's army from beginning to end.

Three days, perhaps in Han Xianggong's eyes, is enough for countless close calls and rapid changes, but here, three days are really just a surplus.

I can assure you that next time our army sails southward, there may be some disturbances ahead, but probably, the road is still smooth. The Chu people have maintained and managed these rivers very well, which is also good for our sailing. "

It's not that Uncle Zheng is so self-confident here,

It's because the people of Chu never expected to attack Jingcheng by themselves.

How should I put it, Uncle Zheng's army may not be as important as the huge amount of grain stored in Jingcheng.

The people of Chu who have lost their chance,

He probably didn't expect that he would not give up after the surprise attack on Jingcheng, instead of defending this strategically important area, he continued to choose to go south.

In fact, taking a step back, even among the people of Chu, there are really talented and brilliant people who know themselves very well. After receiving the news of the fall of Jingcheng, they immediately judged that they would take such a big risk. He tried his best to convince the bigwigs and nobles of the state of Chu in the court to believe his judgment.

Then it will take time to deploy troops to intercept them in advance.

In addition to the Chu people's navy, one of the main forces is in the Mengshan area, that is, behind Uncle Zheng, and the other is in the southwestern waters of Chu, which is far away from the battlefield here.

This is no longer a conspiracy.

Purely a "race" game,

The objectively existing time-consuming and geographical constraints are placed here, and it cannot be reduced by relying on human subjective initiative.

so,

It must be feasible to go south to Yingdu. The problem is that if you go south comfortably, you will definitely gain a great reputation, but it is possible that after you go south, you will not be able to get out.

Still the same sentence, if all the cavalry under his command, Uncle Zheng can use the extremely brilliant cavalry combat experience of Liang Cheng and other generals to fight a circle of Caogu in the territory of Chu State, but now, the four legs have become two legs, But it's not easy.

but,

Who knows what will happen next.

A Cheng stayed in Shanggu County, and continued to suppress and harass the Chu people's follow-up grain road,

I went south to Yingdu to attract the attention of the Chu people, so that they were temporarily powerless or unable to devote themselves to supplying and supporting the northern army.

In the final analysis, it is still trying to maximize the strategic utility of its army as much as possible.

Do the best you can do by yourself, even if you take risks in depth, it doesn't matter.

Because of the long-term tacit understanding and long-term trust,

Tell Zheng Fan,

You just need to complete the mission that King Jingnan entrusted to you, then King Jingnan will not let you down.

What's more, I'm still overfulfilling.

Seriously,

Uncle Zheng now really has a feeling that he is a secondary player, and then he hugs the protagonist's thigh.

After all, the protagonist will never let you down.

Gou Mo left his mouth and said: "Uncle, in two days, our fleet should be able to reach West Wind Ferry. My subordinates suggest that we disembark there."

Xifengdu is located at the junction of Weihe River and Mijiang River. There, it can barely be regarded as Yingdu, which is the so-called Gyeonggi.

Continuing to go down the Mi River and directly questioning the city gate of Yingdu, it sounds very domineering, but it can only be domineering for a while, and then you have to fall into a dilemma.

After all, if the war horse gallops away, there may be a truly unexpected effect, and then think about the complete dryness of the Chu people,

Have a dream of going straight to Yingdu.

But the problem is that when the fleet enters the Mijiang River Basin, even relying on the beacon towers along the route is enough for Yingdu to get enough early warning, and there will be no chance for you to dream big, unless your uncle Brother was paralyzed by fright, thinking that the end was coming, so he led a sheep out to surrender.

But no matter how I think about it, my uncle is not that kind of person.

If he really is a coward,

Uncle Zheng will feel that his face is dull,

Xiong Liqing, a princess, would feel unsatisfactory.

"It's too early to cross the West Wind. Going a little further, I didn't think about going straight to the city wall, but at least we have to let our more than 10,000 soldiers and so many black dragon flags shine in the real hinterland of the capital of Chu State." .”

Fan Lihan smiled and said:

"Don't poke the chrysanthemum, just smear it with oil."

Uncle Zheng glanced at Fan Li helplessly, and finally, he had no choice but to nod,

road:

"The words are rough and the rationale is not rough."

To scratch the itch of the Chu people, it would be best if the soldiers from all directions could gather in Yingdu. In this way, the power at Zhennanguan would naturally be greatly weakened.

"Then let's stop at Juyangcheng? The location is about the same. If you go in, you can go straight to Yingdu. If you go back, you can go to Xieyang County in Chu State to the north. If you go east, you can go to Silin Mountain. It's more convenient to go west. Enter Changxi County, and Changxi County is the birthplace of Baipu Baijia, and the Tengjia soldiers that we wiped out in Yangshan Village came from there, and this county is adjacent to Daze."

Gou Moli knew exactly Uncle Zheng's purpose,

That is to preserve oneself as much as possible while obtaining the most effective strategic intention.

Therefore, he had to design a safe position, at least, when facing the encirclement of the Chu army, he could move around calmly.

Uncle Zheng pondered for a moment,

road;

"Can."

Immediately afterwards,

Uncle Zheng asked again:

"According to Yangcheng, isn't mutton very famous? The name sounds like the name suggests, that is, if the sheep don't come, it will be gone."

Gou Moli was a little embarrassed,

road:

"The subordinates don't know."

This is doing the pre-war survey, how can you also do the local snack survey by the way?

Eight poles can't hit it!

He Chunlai said: "Niu Dongguan and his subordinates said that according to Yangcheng's mutton soup, it is famous for its deliciousness."

Uncle Zheng pointed,

road:

"Well, I have to try a bowl then."

talking,

Uncle Zheng laughed again;

"If the son-in-law from someone else's family comes to the door, the relatives of the daughter-in-law's natal family will naturally have to accompany them to eat, drink and play to show the friendship of the landlord.

Pity,

We,

I don't have that fate. "

Good night.
