Devil’s Advent

"Snapped!"

Zheng Fan threw the military order from the Marquis of Jingnan on the table.

This move is not intended to express any dissatisfaction, after all, no matter how much Uncle Zheng fumbles, he still doesn't have any opinion on Lao Tian.

Even the Demon King himself admits that as long as Lao Tian is around, as long as Lao Tian has no intention of rebelling, the big guy can only continue to be Yan Zhongliang.

"There are two copies of the military order, one is the military description written in the military Chinese book, and the other is the military order written by Lord Hou himself."

Zheng Fan reached out and tapped on the table,

He said to the demon kings sitting below:

"The military order is also very simple, just two words—sit."

The blind man nodded when he heard the words. Obviously, this military order was within his expectation.

Si Niang also breathed a sigh of relief, and the speed of knitting sweaters in her hands is also much lighter. With so many people inside and outside Xueguan, the original reserves of money and food can only survive this winter smoothly. If there is another military incident at this time, then This winter, it will be difficult.

After all, not every battle can be profitable. In many cases, some battles are really pure consumption, and it is difficult to find a place to supplement.

The Savage King sat in an inconspicuous position at the bottom, still wearing shackles, no seat, just sitting on the floor tiles.

"Anyway, the big guys are sitting now, so let's talk about your opinion."

Zheng Fan silently took out a cigarette, didn't light it, just played with his fingertips.

The blind man got up and said:

"My lord, the flames of war rising at Zhennan Pass and Nanwang City this time should not be a sign of the Great War of the Three Kingdoms. On the Ganren's side, they used their newly built precious cavalry troops to launch a surprise attack. On our side, although Zhennan Pass said It was the territory of the Chu people, but it was only Xue Rang, the original Situ family's descendant, who acted as a facade and promoted a collateral descendant of the Situ family to proclaim himself emperor, and the Chu people just stood behind.

The two fronts of Chu and Gan should be thunderous and rainy, and they are just putting on airs and creating tension. They have no intention of formally fighting Yan Guo with real swords and guns. "

At this time,

The Savage King saw that the blind man had finished speaking,

Immediately added:

"Uncle, Mr. Bei is right. I know the temperament of the Chu people best. To put it mildly, it is because they think they are the foundation of the nobility. His boldness, especially the Regent of the Chu Kingdom, his style is that he likes to manipulate everything in the palm of his hand. Unlike our Majesty Yan, he doesn't like gambling, he likes to be safe.

The people of Chu introduced a card face this time, just to stir up the water in this pool, let us move, and exhaust our army. "

The Savage King needs to seize the short time to express himself as much as possible, because he doesn't have much time, and every time he shows his value, there is a high probability that he will get a little improvement in living conditions.

Now, he strives to be transferred to a cell on the ground as soon as possible.

Because since the Hiranobo Mansion was built and he moved into the underground prison in the Hiranobo Mansion, he always had nightmares when he slept at night, and he felt cold from time to time. Calling himself a cockroach, he can live anywhere, but this time he really doesn't want to stay in the prison, he is really afraid that he will die suddenly if he stays any longer.

Zheng Fan heard the words, nodded, and said:

"So this time, it's a strategy for the exhaustion of the two countries, hehe."

With Zheng Fan's current status, he can actually stand at a slightly higher position to overlook the overall situation.

When conquering the savages earlier, the Eastern Expeditionary Army lost for the first time, and the First Prince did need to carry part of it, but the root cause was still the exhaustion caused by the successive years of fighting in the Kingdom of Yan.

In the wars in the early years, what kind of army did Yan State use?

It was the Zhenbei Army and the Jingnan Army. The local army and the imperial army were only responsible for playing side drums. It was the first time Xu Pangpang assembled the leaders of various armies in Nanwang City to suppress the temptation of the frontier army of the three towns of Qianguo. In the Three Kingdoms War, the greatest achievement made by the local army.

As for the Eastern Expeditionary Army’s first expedition, the choice to form the Left Army was actually due to the fact that the site was too large and needed garrisons everywhere. At the same time, the elites of Dayan’s two routes suffered a great deal of wear and tear, so they had to use the local army and the imperial army. To maintain and support the pace of imperial conquest.

Looking at the corpses of the Left Army in the river, the fundamental reason is that the quality of the Left Army's army is too far behind that of the Zhenbei, Jingnan Army.

Afterwards, the Marquis of Jingnan took command of the expedition, the so-called "transplanting flowers and trees\

,"Seemingly ingenious and profound,

But in essence, it is nothing more than "Tian Ji's horse racing".

That is, the local army, the imperial army, and Chengguo were attached to the soldiers and horses. These "inferior horses" disguised themselves as the Jingnan Army and the Zhenbei Army and marched to Yupan City. The main force led by the king.

The problem, in fact, is still there. The replenishment and growth of soldiers is far from keeping up with the consumption caused by successive years of war. Jingnanhou's approach is to put it bluntly, to completely hide his shortcomings.

After defeating the main force of the savages, Dayan, such a strong Jingnan Hou, and such a strong Emperor, did not carry out the journey of the Northern Expedition to the Snow Field, which means that they themselves are actually aware of the extent to which Yan's exhaustion has reached , It's not that I don't want to fight, it's that I can't fight anymore.

The clearest example is that in the past, if you brought the Sanqian Zhenbei Army or the Jingnan Army, even in the face of tens of thousands of enemy cavalry, Uncle Zheng would dare to talk and laugh, and it would not be a psychological burden to just ride on his face. Anyway, I can't do it. It is not a big problem to break through.

But now, let Uncle Zheng randomly pick out three thousand snow customs cavalry, even if it is his own cavalry, Uncle Zheng doesn't have the confidence to go for it.

Elite soldiers and good generals are really too precious wealth, it doesn't mean that they can be quickly assembled in batches by pulling people's heads.

In addition, the land of Jin has been smashed and has not yet recovered. The state treasury and people's power of Yan State have also fallen into a state of losing strength. This is another level of influence on the military level. are interoperable.

Uncle Zheng sighed helplessly, and said, "Isn't this the old man's tactic when he stationed troops in the north to deal with us?"

Just because I am taller than you, I can afford to consume energy, so I deliberately exhaust it with you.

The blind man said: "But this method has a small cost and a large benefit. It is really easy to use. We also dealt with the little bully in the same way."

immediately,

Zheng Fan and the blind man looked at each other and smiled, and the other demon kings also nodded.

Only the savage king sitting on the ground looked dumbfounded,

What a bastard, what a bully,

What kind of maneuver is this playing?

After realizing that he couldn't keep up with the rhythm, the Savage King suddenly fell into a deep sense of crisis.

Zheng Fan continued: "So, this military order from the Marquis of Jingnan must have seen through the plans of the Chu people."

If there is going to be trouble over there, then let him make trouble.

Yan State's current advantage lies in its absolute confidence in field battles. Whether it is Xue Rang or the Chu army, as long as they dare to venture far out of Zhennan Pass, the Yan army will be confident enough to defeat them.

After all, Jingnanhou himself is currently sitting in Fengxin City.

"A Cheng."

"The subordinates are here."

"I think the people of Chu will most likely not send out a large army, but they may send out a small group of soldiers and horses to harass. After you go down later, arrange for Jin Shuke to lead two or three thousand horses to expand outside. Our main force You can stay still, but the necessary defenses must still be done well.”

"Yes, this subordinate knows."

"Si Niang."

"The subordinates are here."

"You know that life is tight now, and our supply and demand of money and food will be able to survive the winter safely, but if you think about a way to see if you can raise some of the surplus food, there is a high probability that there will be no fighting, but we have to be prepared."

Traditionally, the Yan army, especially the Yan army currently stationed in Jin, had to prepare a large amount of food and grass when they were ordered to go out, but they couldn't wait for the transportation and supplies later.

Coming from Yanjing, the journey is too far away, and the long-distance water cannot quench the near thirst. Moreover, the beacon fire on the line of Nanwang City can be said to be directed at Yanjing. The important precautions of the imperial court are still the situation there.

As for Yingdu, the money and rations raised for the second half of the year have already been "scratched". After all, Jin has already become a mess due to the torment of the war.

All in all, if there is going to be a war in the future, Dayan's soldiers and horses in Jindi must be prepared to take care of themselves.

"Three children."

"The subordinates are here."

"Under the premise of not affecting the autumn harvest work, make more parts for siege equipment."

"Yes, my lord."

It is impossible to carry siege equipment with the army, but if some key parts are prepared in advance, they can be produced quickly after the wood is felled in the local area.

After assigning tasks one by one,

Zheng Fan waved his hand,

road:

"It's all gone."

But at this moment, a soldier came outside and bowed down to report:

"Uncle, I just received a letter from sentry cavalry, saying that the convoy of the Princess of Zhenbei Prince's Mansion is approaching our Snow Customs. There are 800 cavalry accompanying her, and the Princess's convoy has about 200 people."

The accompanying cavalry should have been sent by a nearby general, but the princess actually brought over two hundred.

When the Savage King heard the news, this time, there was nothing unusual about it.

Siniang glanced at Zheng Fan with a smile on her face,

Obviously,

Si Niang has long been looking forward to training His Royal Highness the Princess, which will give her a sense of accomplishment.

Zheng Fan touched his forehead, and said helplessly: "I thought that after something happened in Zhennan Pass, the princess would stay in Ying, but I didn't expect to continue eastward to our place Come."

The blind man said, "Also, it looks like he must have sped up his speed and came here after learning about the situation at Zhennan Pass."

A Ming said: "Ali and the maidservant have not come back yet. If this is the case, they are probably in the princess' team."

Zheng Fan looked at Liang Cheng and said, "Send 800 riders to meet him."

"Yes, my lord."

The limelight is very tight outside, although Zheng Fan is very displeased with the princess, but he doesn't want her to have an accident near his own territory, otherwise this shit basin will be too wronged.

Si Niang asked:

"My lord, if the princess is here, what standard should I entertain?"

"Si Niang, you can do it yourself. It doesn't need to be too grand, and the welcome ceremony is also skipped. By the way, the princess's residence is arranged in the south of the city."

Hirano Bofu is in the north of the city.

"My slave knows, my lord."

The proceedings are over,

The Savage King was escorted to prison again.

only,

this time,

After the blind man left the small meeting room, he followed the escorting soldiers all the way to the entrance of the dungeon.

The Savage King was a little moved and said:

"Mr. Laobei sent you off, how can I be so brave."

"It's okay, let's go in and talk."

The savage king was escorted in, and after he was thrown into the iron fence, under the signal of the blind man, all the soldiers in charge of guarding all around went out to avoid it, and only the blind man and the savage king were left in the dungeon.

In fact, this is also the way the two often get along with each other.

"What's the matter, Mr. Bei?"

"Ever since I learned that the county chief came here to watch the snow, I've been thinking about one thing."

"Mr. Bei can talk to me."

"I'm thinking, besides my Patriarch, what else can attract the princess in our Snow Customs.

Moreover, even if it's my Patriarch, to be honest, it's not something the princess can win if he wants to. "

"so what?"

"So, I was thinking, is there such a possibility that the purpose, or the main purpose, of the princess coming to Xuehaiguan is not my master."

"It's not our uncle, who else could it be?"

"What do you say?"

"Impossible, is it for me?"

The Savage King pointed at himself and laughed at himself.

"Yeah, why can't it be you?"

"..." Savage King.

The blind man stretched out his hand and took out a shriveled orange that had lost a lot of water from his pocket, and said while peeling:

"Let's put it this way, a man had a crush on a woman before, and he had a crush on him to death. It's just that his status was too lowly before, and that woman's status was extremely noble, so there is no possibility for the two of them.

But if that man suddenly succeeds and makes a career, what does he want to do most? "

Put a piece of orange meat into his mouth, and continued while chewing:

"You should have contacted the princess before, and told her that in the distant snowfield, there is a man who has secretly admired you for so many years, and now, he has conquered most of Chengguo and become the king of the snowfield." .

This is an obsession that is deeply rooted in people's hearts, and few people can control it. Moreover, most of the time, the emotion of returning home does not need to be controlled. "

"You are joking, Mr. Bei, how is it possible?"

"No, before you led your troops to break through the Snow Customs, the Great Yan secret spy department had already found out that you had served in the auxiliary barracks in the Beihou Mansion in Beifeng County Town.

So, even if you held back and didn't send someone to deliver a letter or take the initiative to contact the princess, the princess should be a slave who remembered the whip he had whipped back then. "

"But, but, isn't there already a savage king who has been escorted to Yanjing?"

"I don't know about this, but I think I should be right.

Gou Moli, you are a talent, your talent is not limited to the snowfield, in fact, no matter where you go, there are quite a lot of people who are willing to use you, but they have to guard against your backlash.

And that woman,

She is confident, she is also willful,

She probably won't worry about your backlash.

even,

If she knew that there was a man like you, who was so obsessed with herself, and is even so obsessed with her now, she should be very interested in having you in her pocket.

There is a word called psychological profiling, you may not have heard of it, well, let's put it this way, my specialty is actually trying to figure out people's hearts.

I think that doing so is in line with the personality of the princess. "

"Mr. Bei, since you are so sure, what if the princess really wants me by name? After all, hiding me is a serious crime."

The blind man laughed,

This smile matches his empty eyes,

It looked very gloomy.

"She doesn't have that qualification. This is Xuehaiguan, not the Zhenbei Palace in Beifeng County."

"But she is the daughter of King Zhenbei after all, Your Majesty will take care of her."

The blind man said: "Hey, who is not a baby?"

"Huh?" The Savage King was a little puzzled.

"Behind her is the King of Zhenbei, and behind our uncle is the Marquis of Jingnan. Moreover, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one. Here, she can give her face, or she can not give her face at all."

The Savage King was silent.

The blind man continued: "Some things, because you are locked up here, no one may tell you that the son of the Marquis of Jingnan is now being raised in our Uncle Pingye's mansion, and my master is also the godfather of the young lord. "

"Young master?"

The blind man pointed to the top of his head and said, "It should be on your head, next door."

Next to the Prison of the Savage King, lies the Sha Tuo Que Stone, and directly above the Sha Tuo Que Stone is the baby room of the young master.

In fact, the savage king's malaise these days has also been noticed by the blind man, so I have to sigh again with the horoscope of the little prince, it is really hard enough, since I was a child I spent most of my time "jumping on the grave", and I actually ate it. Well, Xiang slept soundly.

"Mr. Bei, you didn't use to talk to me about this."

"No, I have to say, because I value you, including the Lord, I actually value you a lot, because we all think that you are of great value, so I will tell you in advance so that you can make your own choice."

"What choice?"

"Then it's up to you to think for yourself."

As he spoke, the blind man clapped his hands and stood up, as if he was about to leave.

The Savage King said with a smile:

"Do you want to send someone to seal the entrance here?"

If the entrance is sealed, it can prevent people from robbing the prison.

Leaving enough to eat and drink and vents will suffice.

The blind man shook his head and said:

"No, it is said that there are many masters around the princess, but in fact, we don't mind the princess sending people to rob the prison."

As the blind man spoke, he pretended to inadvertently reach out and touched the wall on the north side of the cell.

touch, touch,

The smile on the face of the blind man,

more and more brilliant,

It seems to have thought of a very interesting thing.

In fact, when the blind man tried to infiltrate the wall with his mental power, he encountered great resistance. This is because Shatuo Queshi lay there to form an aura, which could block the perception of the outside world.

Therefore, the Savage King only felt uncomfortable, uncomfortable, physically weak and dreamy. This was affected by evil spirits and Feng Shui, but this was only the lowest level of expression. In fact, although it was only separated by a wall, it was impossible for him to perceive it. The existence in the next door can't even hear a sound.

At this time,

Zheng Fan, who had just finished the discussion, came down with a jug of wine,

Looking at the coffin placed in front of him.

Zheng Fan thinks,

Fate is really a circle, and it can always give you a sense of trance when you are standing at the end but as if you are standing back at the circle point inadvertently.

In Zheng Fan's memory,

That man, standing at the gate of Zhenbei Hou Mansion, holding the wine jar, shouted:

"I am a barbarian in the desert!"

It seems that it was just yesterday.

On that day, the original barbarian king Tingzuoguli King Shatuo Queshi died in battle at the gate of Zhenbeihoufu.

Just to explain to the chief of Zhenbeihou County who wiped out the entire Shatuo tribe!

Shaoqing,

Zheng Fan put the jug on the coffin lid, stretched out his hand, and stroked the coffin lid, with a tone that seemed to be whispering to a sleeping person,

Slowly said:

"She is coming."
