Devil’s Advent

"I heard that the lord has set up several Mojin school lieutenants in the army?"

Xue San sharpened his dagger and said to Liang Cheng who was sitting beside him,

"It's really the master's bad taste."

Liang Cheng sat there without speaking.

Xue San put the dagger under his lips and patted it lightly,

road:

"You said, tossing and tossing, so many troops, so many civilians, fighting for so long, consuming a lot of manpower and material resources, is it worth it to get a Zhennan Pass?"

In name, there is actually another Shanggu County, but when Shanggu County was in the hands of the Chu people, it was known for its barrenness. After the Chu army plowed the land and then the Yan army plowed it again, there was no oil and water for a long time.

The most important thing is, how could this kind of military frontline site be devoted to developing its people's livelihood? Enough support.

In the land of eastern Jin, there are a lot of barren land that need to be reclaimed, too many cities and official roads need to be rebuilt, but there is no time to throw money to Shanggu County to build it.

Shanggu County, in fact, is a battlefield once again drawn out by the two sides. Whoever holds Zhennan Pass, Shanggu County probably belongs to him. situation.

Furthermore, the Weihe River lies to the south of Shanggu County, which can be said to be another natural moat that is not very natural. This geographical uniqueness makes the vast and flat land of Shanggu County too suitable for battlefield use, because there is no danger. Shou.

Liang Cheng shook his head and said:

"Accounts, that's not how it is calculated. At first glance, it seems that the harvest this time seems to be only a little bit, but first, we need to look at three points.

The first point is that before the attack on Chu, Nian Yao was guarding Zhennan Pass, and the Chu people even built a fort far to the north of Zhennan Pass, which was almost connected together.

After expelling the savages, why did King Jingnan stay in Fengxin City?

Do you think he likes the dilapidated scenery of Fengxin City?

It was nothing more than that he was there himself, and he could deter the Chu army in Zhennanguan, so that they would not dare to go north.

Before cutting down,

In fact, the Chu people occupy the main offensive position, while the Yan State is the main defender.

The power of the Chu people had already spread to the east of Jin, like a sharp knife penetrating into the area of ​​the east of Jin.

To put it bluntly, if the attack on Chu fails or the situation stagnates, when the main force of the Yan army retreats or King Jingnan himself leaves Fengxin City, once the Chu people want to make a northern expedition, there are two places to besieged first. One is Fengxin City, and the other is our Xuehaiguan.

As you can see, we only took down one Shanggu County, but in fact, we have to add more than half of Jindong.

Zhennanguan is in the hands of the Chu people, so we must gather 100,000 soldiers and horses to confront each other, and these 100,000 soldiers and horses must be elite. This is still only barely able to cope with the first wave of the Northern Expedition that the Chu people may launch;

In the rear, starting from Yingdu, everyone had to prepare for the second line of defense.

Invisibly, there must be at least 200,000 troops to support the town of Nanguan.

And after Zhennan Pass is in our hands, it is enough to lose 20,000 soldiers on a grand pass, and in addition to a small village and horses as a response, this line of defense can be regarded as erected.

This is a huge reduction in border defense pressure.

in addition,

With Zhennanguan in my hands, the state of Chu is equivalent to the Song Dynasty that lost the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun in history.

The second point is that when a large army enters Chu, even if it does not fight, it is just marching. The so-called soldiers are like bandits, which is a kind of consumption of war potential for Chu. It also suffered a lot of losses, and the imperial capital was also burned. The people of Chu were greatly injured.

Within ten years, unless there is a huge change in Yandi, the Chu people will not be able to launch any Northern Expedition at all.

In addition, the defense of the entire Sanjin area is also because of the three gates of Xueguan, Zhennanguan, and Nanmenguan, which is equivalent to closing the door to the outside world. After losing external intervention, even if the Jin people want to make trouble, what do they want to restore the country Yes, it is difficult to turn out the big waves. This land of the Three Jins is like meat rotten in a pot.

A piece of land that was supposed to be desperately defended to prevent others from stealing it has now become the back garden of the Yan people.

Thirdly,

for ourselves,

With the help of the Lord's attack on Chu this time, if there is no accident, the title of Marquis is inevitable.

The land of Eastern Shanxi will fall into our hands, that is to say, such a large area will become our real base in the future.

The original Xuehai Navy towns, together with Gongsunzhi and Gongwang, will be able to attract refugees and recruit people to recruit troops in the coming time.

Right now the population is small or small, but it doesn't matter, the site is here, so it is good to plan and manage it, the future is still promising.

After all, the dilapidation of Eastern Jin is due to years of wars, but in fact, the climate and geographical conditions of Eastern Jin are much better than that of Beifeng County.

In general, the offense and defense are out of place.

In fact, what Yan State wants to attack is Qian State more, because it has enough oil and water to attack Qian State, but the problem is that if you attack Qian State first, the Chu people will inevitably send troops to the north, and if you attack Chu State first, the Qian people are likely to die. Fishing, like this time.

Cut down the state of Chu first, and then, when dealing with the state of Qian, the state of Chu will be powerless to make trouble.

Oh, right,

Your subordinates can also expand their recruitment, and then go to Siniang to ask for clothes patterns, and make hundreds of flying fish suits for them. The master likes this tune. "

"Hey, I can't tell, Zombie, you actually paid attention to this?"

Xue San couldn't help feeling that everyone had changed a lot before he knew it.

"The lord told me the day before yesterday that he planned to improve the style of our army's armor after the battle is over. The main tone is still black, but the details can be more refined.

In addition, armor and weapons can be marked with the same family emblem. "

Xue San asked; "What do you plan to use as the family emblem?"

The family emblem is a very common product, and it is also a kind of inheritance and symbol.

In the previous battle with the Chu army, the armors and weapons of the private soldiers of the nobles actually had their respective clan emblems, which was Dayan.

Liang Cheng frowned slightly,

road;

"The Lord means that you want to use a double-headed eagle?"

"Well……"

Xue San shaved the stubble on his chin with a dagger,

road:

"Is it too obvious?"

Liang Cheng said: "The problem is that we seem to have the confidence to be more obvious."

"It's still early, the establishment of the government and the establishment of teeth have not yet been completed." Xue San blew on the edge of the dagger, "At least we have to wait until the rewards come down, and the frontiers come down, and then the soldiers and horses are ready."

"You have to start the blast furnace. This is your job. You can get busy first. Anyway, it's winter, and when the first batch of new armor and weapons come out, the rewards should come down."

"That's right." Xue San said again: "But we need to get together and re-summarize it, and divide it into several areas. Not to mention what to do to achieve a balanced development, but there must be a big plan."

"Um."

The territory is getting bigger, and it is no longer limited to Xuehaiguan in the past, and there are naturally more things that need to be considered in an overall way.

If the planning can be done well in the early stage of construction, it is much cheaper than temporarily changing it if something goes wrong later.

"But do you really want a double-headed eagle? I don't think it's new." Xue San said.

"Then what are you using, dragons?"

"No, not yet, not yet."

Using a double-headed eagle, at most someone with a heart would say that Uncle Hirano's desires are difficult to fill, and I can also explain that it is for Dayan to guard against threats from all directions.

It just so happens that the north is the snowfield, and the south is the state of Chu, right on point.

But if you use a dragon as your emblem,

All right,

Get ready for battle!

"However, I can finally rest. My aunt is still waiting for me in Xuehai Pass."

Xue San misses Bamei Hu,

"Ah Cheng, you don't know how difficult it is to meet a woman who suits you in this world."

Liang Cheng said;

"I heard from the blind man that you had a good relationship with a husky when you were in Tumancheng?"

"It's true, but why do I feel that it sounds weird?"

"I have no idea."

"By the way, I don't know when I will have the opportunity to go to the west to see magicians and grudges. It should be interesting to think about it."

Liang Cheng said:

"I'm more interested in whether there will be something similar to the Macedonian phalanx over there."

"Guan Gong fought Qin Qiong?" Xue San rubbed his chin, "It's quite exciting to think about it, but the problem is that we are now in the east, and that side is in the west, so it doesn't match up."

Liang Cheng got up silently,

road:

"I'm going to patrol the camp."

"go Go."

Liang Cheng walked a few steps and stopped.

road:

"It's not compatible now, but in the future, it's hard to say."

...

Zhennan Pass,

city ​​walls.

Zheng Fan originally thought that Lao Tian would remain silent and recuperate, without seeing outsiders.

Although he greeted him through the tent every two days, it was just for fun, and he didn't expect to see him. After all, he subconsciously felt that Lao Tian should retreat and heal his wounds, but who would have expected that he would see him today.

However, Lao Tian was wrapped in a fur coat.

Even more clothes than Zheng Fan.

This is enough to show how serious Lao Tian's injury is.

However, seeing Lao Tian walking in front of him, walking up the tower, and standing behind the battlements, Zheng Fan didn't worry too much about it. After all, with the recovery of the Juggernaut in front, Lao Tian should be fine.

At best, he should cultivate himself. After all, a man who is tougher than a fire phoenix, how could he be so fragile?

Zheng Fan didn't ask about the specific injuries, because he also knew that Lao Tian would not tell him in detail. In addition, for a strong person, explaining the details of his weakness to another person should be extremely uncomfortable. and uncomfortable.

According to Zheng Fan,

Both Laotian and Juggernaut are the kind of existence who hold the template of the protagonist;

In comparison,

I am more like a supporting role who is down-to-earth and climbing up step by step.

So Uncle Zheng has always been very careful and cautious, for fear that one day, if he is not careful, he will be used as a stepping stone by the existence of another protagonist's script.

The snowflakes were still floating, and when they fell on Lao Tian's white hair, they took advantage of the trend to hide them.

"Millions of soldiers and civilians, with the power of the whole country, fought fiercely for a year, and finally, they won."

Tian Wujing let out a sigh of emotion.

Zheng Fan nodded.

Although the Yan army did not launch any decent attack on Zhennan Pass from the beginning to the end, whether it was the cleaning of the periphery or the infiltration and detour of the interior,

Even including attacking Yingdu,

The fundamental purpose,

It is still the south gate of this town.

The current Zheng Fan's strategic vision is naturally not comparable to Xue San's kind of assassin who is used to hiding in the shadows.

Of course he knew exactly what it meant to have Zhennan Pass in his hand.

Equivalent to Qin Tun Bashu,

It is equivalent to Liao De Yanyun,

If it wasn't for the excessive consumption of Yan's national power,

If it weren't for the natural disasters, many places would have failed to harvest food this year.

The battle against Chu will never end like this.

but,

At least a hole was left here,

Five years later,

ten years later,

Even twenty or thirty years later,

If Dayan was still there at that time,

At that time, the emperor wanted to attack Chu, so he could be more relaxed and calm.

Even if there is no large-scale attack on Chu now, it can still isolate the threat of Chu from Zhennan Pass.

"There are many problems in Chu, but in this world, we are not afraid of many problems, but we are afraid of people who can solve them." Tian Wujing said, "Your uncle will definitely become a big problem for me in the future."

"Don't worry, my lord, I'm watching him."

This is said very confidently.

"Next, what are you going to do?" Tian Wujing asked, "This king is going to hand over the booklet."

"Return to the prince's words, three steps;

The first step is to recruit refugees and restore the people's livelihood in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Your lord knows my ability in this area, so I won't go into details.

The second step is to restrain the snowfields in the far west, absorb the labor force of the savages, absorb the savages for their own use, graze for me, work for me, transform the threat from the north into my help, and train the wolves in the north to be able to take them out Hunting dogs.

The third step is to restore relations with the Chu State, conduct business and trade, and pretend to be a snake. "

Tian Wujing stood there, and after listening to Zheng Fan's statement, he said:

"The second step is to guard against savages. It's not that they can't be enslaved, but they must also be careful of backlash. Have you ever thought about bringing in savages like you and letting them serve as officials and generals in Jindi? , decades later, if something goes wrong, it may be more harmful than the savage entering the Snow Customs again."

It has to be said that King Jingnan's vision is far-reaching.

Because in history, there are many people who have played similar tricks. One is Tang Xuanzong and An Lushan, and the other is Li Chengliang and Jurchen.

But the problem is,

At Uncle Zheng's place,

In fact, he is not like Xuanzong and Li Chengliang, but more like the latter two.

"The third step is that the people of Chu were really hurt this time, but that person didn't have the courage to take the risk at the right time. You can usually greet him with a smile and reminisce about the old days. The parents are relatives after all;

But once you find signs of it, don't be too polite, if you have to turn your face, you will turn your face, if you want to beat it, you will beat it. To deal with neighboring countries, the experience I have summed up since the founding of Dayan over the past 800 years is that we should not neglect them. "

"Yes, the end will be taught."

"Actually, I believe you understand all these things, but I still have to give instructions."

"My lord is planning to return to the teacher?"

Zheng Fan heard the meaning.

"The battle is over, and it's time for this king to return to Litian City. She will be lonely if she is alone for too long."

"I'll take you back, my lord."

"No need."

"It must be, my lord, you have many enemies."

"My king is surrounded by Jingnan Army guards."

talking,

A smile appeared on the corner of Tian Wujing's mouth,

"Since he didn't die at the hands of Huofeng in Yingdu, how could this king allow himself to die at Xiaoxiao's hands inexplicably?

The king promised you that when the time comes, he will tell you, and you can also come to consult with the king. "

"My lord, go back and have a look."

Go back and see the child.

Tian Wujing was silent.

The snow in the sky seemed to be falling even harder.

This winter will be very cold, but it can also be said that the auspicious snow heralds a good year.

In life, there must always be some hope.

a long time,

Tian Wujing said: "There are too many soldiers and horses around."

There are too many soldiers and horses around,

All the armies that attacked Chu from all walks of life had not yet disbanded, and almost all of them gathered in the area north and south of Zhennan Pass.

The army has just returned,

morale is high,

The army is gathering,

King Jingnan's prestige is also at its peak.

Now go see Tian Tian,

ask every day,

what do you want?

Just in case a sentence comes every day: Dad, I want a dragon chair.

Tsk,

That's really...

Uncle Zheng knew what King Jingnan was worried about, and he wanted to say that it was ridiculous, after all Tian Tian was only so old.

but,

Uncle Zheng suddenly thought that the one who stayed at home this time was a blind man.

blind,

Forehead,

If the blind man knows that Tian Wujing is coming to see the child,

God knows that guy will teach Tian Tian what to say in advance!

For example, the dragon chair is made of the most delicious Shaqima in the world, do you want it?

"Xuehaiguan and Zhennanguan, these two places must be garrisoned by your own people, Gongsun Zhi and Gongwangbu can be kept, but they can't be allowed to approach these two checkpoints.

Fengxin City is a good place. It can be the next Yingdu if you operate it. You can build a dental office in Fengxin Kaifu. Gongsunzhi and Gongwang have two departments, one of which is stationed by your side for display, and the other can be arranged to go to the other side.

After a few years, when you feel that you can completely control them and subdue them, you can make other arrangements. "

"Yes, my lord."

"For this war, a lot of civilians have been conscripted. You should find a way to stop the flow. The civilians are hard to leave their homeland. It is useless to say good things, and the price is too high in money. Just use soldiers to stop them.

Anyway, the land in the east of Jin is the key. The snowy plain on the upper side, and the state of Chu on the lower side. Here, it has been destroyed long ago. The imperial court already needs to immigrate to garrison. "

"Uh... yes, my lord."

"There should be a lot of food and grass in Yingdu that was originally used to supply the food and grass backlog of the front-line army. You send people to move there.

The war we know is over,

But we didn't say it's over, who can say it's really over?

It is said that the Chu people are about to counterattack aggressively, and they need to urgently transfer food, grass and military supplies.

When they come, they will be detained, both people and goods will be detained. "

"Forehead………"

"What's wrong?"

Zheng Fan hesitated and said:

"My lord, my reward hasn't come down yet, although the people below are saying that the last general will be named a marquis this time, and that the last general may guard the land of Eastern Jin this time.

But isn't this still a horoscope?

I'm afraid that I'm showing all my food now,

It will arouse resentment from all sides. "

The Marquis Mansion has not yet been established,

Is it the first to have the style of being a feudal town?

If you really let you open a mansion and build a tooth and establish a marquis mansion, what's the deal?

Zheng Fan was worried that the cooked duck would fly away because of his impatience.

Tian Wujing stretched out his hand,

on the battlements,

Gently caressing the layer of snow above,

Slowly said;

"My lord, you're not dead yet."

Good night.
