Devil’s Advent - Vol 4 Chapter 27
“It’s raining.”
Sitting on horseback, Gou Moli raised his head and looked at the night sky. The rain fell on his face drop by drop, with an obvious trend of getting bigger and bigger.
By his side, there were busy soldiers, because their coach had just ordered the army to retreat.
During this period, it was not that no generals wanted to come over to the Shuai account to express their opinions after receiving the order, but Gou Moli let his personal guards directly block it.
This is an attitude, a decision that belongs to the coach.
Even if Chi Lin and Hao Min saw the Juggernaut still standing next to their coach, they would no longer insist on advising them, so they could only continue to follow suit.
The sword saint in white is rarely seen in front of others, but because of this, he can be the spokesperson of the prince to a certain extent.
Long Yuan, the sword master, has long been given to the little princess of the palace;
But the Juggernaut himself was here, as if the prince sent a Shangfang sword to Gou Moli’s side.
“Will it be uncomfortable, brother?”
Gou Moli turned to look at the Sword Saint and asked.
It shouldn’t be happy to be used as a “King Ling”, after all, the temper of the Juggernaut, Gou Moli is clear.
Sometimes Gou Moli would also try to recall the past. If there was no Juggernaut in front of the Snow Customs who forced the second-rank Zhan Gemu, would everything be different?
Of course, I just think about it. No matter how hypothetical about the past, it doesn’t make much sense.
The Juggernaut shook his head and said, “I’m used to it.”
To a certain extent, the temper of the Juggernaut has long been traced by Zheng Fan;
Of course, Zheng Fan also paid a great price for this, and his son and daughter were all accepted by the Sword Saint.
“Your temper has really changed a lot.”
“Who will stay the same?”
“Swordsman, will it also change? I think that the swordsman’s sword will always be straight.”
The Juggernaut stretched out his hand and said;
“So I don’t deserve a sword now.”
“Tsk.” Gou Moli exclaimed, “Yes.”
“You have also changed.”
“where?”
The Juggernaut looked at the Junzhai, who was slightly nervous, and said: “You have guessed this scene a long time ago, and then you deliberately played with the girl’s toy there.
purpose,
Just waiting for the military report to come,
You can react just right. ”
“Okay, you found out with this little thought?” Gou Moli stretched out his hand and wiped the rain from his face.
“So does he.”
Gou Moli added: “This is called seeing the virtuous and thinking together.”
immediately,
Gou Moli waved his whip,
Road:
“Excuse me, run with me.”
“got used to.”
The savages began to retreat, and they retreated in a hurry.
It was also this rainy night, Xie Zhuyang rode a horse and led the soldiers in pursuit.
“Patriarch, there will be something puzzled at the end.” A general next to Xie Zhuyang asked.
His name is Xie Yi, Xie Zhuyang’s nephew.
Xie Zhuyang has only one son, so it is reasonable to expect that many nephews around him will be pulled by his side for training.
Of course, the Xie family’s Qianliju is really too good, even if the main family has a single pass, the collateral team dare not give birth to any other ideas.
“ask.”
“Why did the Yan army withdraw like this?”
For an lone army, being surrounded, the first instinctive reaction is to get the way home. This is the safest and most secure choice.
But this Yan army actually has other options, that is, deliberately choosing a path of no return.
Xie Zhuyang glanced at his nephew and sighed uncontrollably:
“I’m afraid.”
“Yan Jun is scared?”
“No, you are afraid.”
“we……”
“In your eyes, the Yan Ren is already invincible. You are accustomed to losing to the Yan Ren, accustomed to avoiding the Yan Ren’s saber, and accustomed to the cowardice in front of the Yan Ren.
But… Yan Ren is also human.
You only saw the slaughter of Qu Tiannan and the Qingluan army under Yupan City, but overlooked the surface of Wangjiang River, where the corpses of Yan people were also floated;
You can only see the fire that ignited that night in Yingdu, but you have overlooked the scene of Yan Renhu Weibo dying by the lake.
Yan people are not invincible, they are not gods.
It is true that their previous generation had the King of Jingnan, and this generation has the King of Regent. I admit that they are all first-class people, but as long as my great Chu can continue to exist, I am Chu, and I can continue to protect my identity as Chu.
There is always the day when Feng Shui turns to my house! ”
“Yes, Patriarch, will be taught at the end.”
“But this time, what you said is actually correct. If the other soldiers and horses of the Yan people are on the opposite side, they will be able to break through to the north.
But the leader opposite was the wolfdog on the snowy field.
Wolves travel thousands of miles and eat meat;
How could he just run away so willingly? ”
“Patriarch, the meat he wants to eat is…”
Xie Zhuyang looked at his nephew with a deep gaze.
Under the rainy night, everything seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and it was not real enough to see it, but Xie Zhuyang’s eyes seemed to exude a fascinating luster:
“It’s… let’s go.”
…
“Huh…huh…”
The bitter cold wind has already rolled up, and the cold winter is coming early.
The project south of the Weihe River did not stop.
One after another army villages rose from the ground, one after another fortifications built forests;
In this scene, it seems that if you don’t know the previous situation, you might mistake it for the Chu army to attack, and the Yan army to defend.
Compared with the enthusiasm on the Yan people’s side, the Chu people’s side looked a little depressed.
At the expense of the lives of a large number of savages and servants, the Yan people essentially allowed the Chu people’s three counties defense to develop from the local defense to the enclave defense as much as possible.
These three counties were supposed to be relatively fertile areas in the Chu Kingdom, but since the first Yan Chu Kingdom War that year, the original anointed land of the Chu people is gradually being eroded. In other words, the overall national strength of Chu is In a state of constant weakening.
In addition, after Jindong, who was in Zhennanguan, was taken over by the regent, the prince who always cared about the spiritual civilization of the neighbors in the snowfields, and never slackened to take care of his wife’s and her family’s family, and always bloodletting Chu State .
The reason why the court of Chu can continue to persevere and continue to maintain its own military power is that the power of the court has been expanded after the emperor of Chu reduced the nobles of Chu with external forces. At the same time, in recent years, the power of the court has been expanded. A series of policies to woo and divide the Shanyue people in the south also allowed the court to get further support from the south.
From the perspective of the entire State of Chu, it is weak; but from the perspective of the “State of Chu”, it is actually “strong”.
But this kind of strength is achieved by overdrawing the vitality and blood of the entire country, that is, potential.
“Lord, the realization of the state of Chu today resembles the north and south of the Three Kingdoms.”
“During the Three Kingdoms?” Zheng Fan said.
“Yes.” The blind man nodded, “During that period, the development and development of the North was the best, but in fact, the later generations of the richer South, in fact, are still more ‘wild’.
The current situation in Chu State is like this. To a certain extent, our offensive against Chu State forced your elder brother to increase the development of the southern Chu area. ”
“In that case, my elder brother can be considered to have made a great contribution to Zhu Xia, ha ha.”
“Ha ha.”
Zheng Fan stretched out his hand and pulled his cloak, and walked to an observation deck one after another with the blind man.
“Blind man, how long can you support the logistics of Chu people?”
“We have been immersed in development in the past five years, and they have not been idle.”
Zheng Fan nodded when he heard the words, and said, “It’s mainly because of Daze. The savages’ servant soldiers are very effective, but when the Chu people completely shrink their necks and Daze is supporting them, our army can’t cut them off. Behind it, this allows my elder brother to continuously provide supplies to the army in front.”
It should not be called the habit of being a handsome man, but instinct instead.
Zheng Fan stopped, and said: “However, Chu is due to the terrain, but when you attack in the future, you can use this trick to break the three sides of the country, the north of the people, but it is very flat.”
“The Lord said yes.”
The two walked to the top of the observation deck, Zheng Fan did not look south, but turned around and looked north.
From there, two armies appeared, and their armor was different from the Jindong Army.
“Has the rotation gone?” Zheng Fan asked.
“If you go back to the Lord, the arrangements have already been made. Your subordinates don’t dare to neglect what you have specifically ordered.”
“Ok.”
Zheng Fan faced the south again, and stretched out his hand to gently pat the railing in front of him: “In fact, this national war is much larger than the first Yanchu national war fought by Lao Tian. ”
In terms of the number of people, it may be the same, but the number of soldiers and the degree of logistical slack are much better than Lao Tian’s original.
“It’s also the master you, who personally planned it. Sometimes when subordinates look at you, they feel surprised and always feel that something is not true, but now they are getting used to it.”
“Your way of complimenting people is much better than that of Acheng. It’s well-prepared and not blunt.”
“Thank you, Lord.”
Under the observation deck, Manton led his men back. He didn’t know that at this time, the regent was standing above his head.
He didn’t even bother to look around, because his mood was very depressed.
With the arrival of winter, the people of Chu also stopped most of the production activities that had to be done, and began to shrink.
Ears are not so easy to do, and the soldiers of the Chu people are not so easy to chew. They often pay several times more than they did before in order to get far fewer ears.
The most annoying thing is that a batch of cavalry under the banner of the court of the Kingdom of Yan began to **** the work that originally belonged to their savage servant soldiers.
The argument above is that they just arrived and need a chance to practice their hands.
According to Manton and a group of savage servants’ understanding of Dayan, the court of Yan Kingdom is also a powerful tribe, and it is an alliance with the regent of Jindong.
But they are Yan people after all…
Therefore, when the soldiers and horses of the imperial court entered, the savage servant soldiers did not dare to grab meat from them, and occasionally some good targets could only be left to them.
The savages such as Manton didn’t think they were being bullied, and didn’t think there was anything wrong with being inferior. On the contrary, they would be more eager to obtain the identity of the bidder. In this way, everything is different.
It’s a pity, it’s still a little bit short, just a little bit short.
Manton led the horse and a group of subordinates into the military village after inspection with some awkwardness. He happened to see the earless Guo Dong hurriedly rushing past him.
Manton is a little strange, but his identity is not enough to call someone out of thin air, but after seeing Guo Dong run up to the observation deck, he did not dare to delay any longer and went to settle his ears.
“Meet the prince, the prince, Chitose, Chitose, Chitose, Chitose!”
Guo Dong knelt down in front of Zheng Fan.
“It’s still orderly here?” Zheng Fan asked.
“In response to the prince, it’s not so orderly, but it’s orderly.”
“What kind of word is this?” Zheng Fan couldn’t help laughing.
Guo Dong also smiled, got up, and stood aside respectfully.
“Is the family okay?” Zheng Fan asked.
Guo Dong was flattered and hurriedly said, “If you return to the prince, everything will be fine at home.”
“I heard you gave birth to a girl?”
“The prince, it’s two girls.”
At this moment, the blind man interrupted and said: “Xu An’s family gave birth to two boys.”
Zheng Fan’s impression of Guo Dong comes more from his past experience and his “disability”, but this disability is itself a military medal for walking.
As for Xu An, the selfless military discipline officer, he naturally remembered more clearly.
“Oh, remember that you two are very close together. Did you get a baby?” Zheng Fan asked.
“In response to the prince, never.”
“Delayed by the war?”
“It’s not…”
“What’s the reason for that?”
These days, I don’t care about free love.
The fact that he robbed the princess of Da Chu back then is already a pioneering model of “free love” in this era.
“In response to the prince, the humble job wanted to get one, but that guy actually wanted to get two, but he didn’t have a humble job, so let’s not talk about it.”
“Hahahahaha.” The prince heard the words and laughed, “He has a good abacus, but he can’t agree, otherwise he will go to grandma’s house.”
Guo Dong nodded vigorously and said, “Yes, yes, what the prince said is.”
At this time, Xu An also walked up to the observation deck and saw Guo Dong standing beside the prince. He was not surprised. He first saluted the prince and Mr. Bei, and then presented a copy of the book to the prince.
The prince did not answer, but Mr. North answered.
Inside is a list, a cleaned list, some of them are officers above the lieutenant colonel;
Some were directly won, and some were “accidentally” killed in battle.
For example, the person in charge of logistics suddenly asks you to go out to collect your ears, and then you are gone.
The blind man didn’t open it, but he had already read it, and nodded to Zheng Fan.
Zheng Fan sighed and said, “Thank you.”
“The last general’s responsibility is, I dare not say anything.”
“I have something to reward you alone.”
“At the end I dare not…”
“Hey, it’s not like getting rewards and punishments, so let’s go, Gu will point your child to marriage, Guo Dong, you agree to be the matchmaker, right?”
Guo Dong immediately pretended to be miserable: “The prince’s marriage is the glory of a humble duty, thank you prince.”
Xu An also saluted immediately: “Thank you, Lord.”
“Hahaha.”
Zheng Fan turned around and continued to look south.
This time the purge is not for political opinions. In Jindong, the prince is the only one, and there is no difference in political opinions.
The fundamental reason for this round of cleansing is that in the early days of entrepreneurship, there was a representative force, and they had played a great role, that is, smugglers from all over the world.
When Jindong needed them most, they came in, allowing Jindong to circulate in commerce and trade. While they made a lot of money, Jindong also got its own urgent needs.
Their relationship with the palace was once excellent.
But not every smuggling caravan is a fan family once.
In fact, it was Fan Wenwen, the emperor’s uncle. He originally thought about seceding territories and autonomy. If he was not forced to desperate and led his army to release the siege, he would not take the initiative to hand over the Fan family’s ancestors’ foundation. from.
The most important thing is that when the little six in the court and himself both issued a declaration to unify the Xia, this group of people has become a force that hinders this process.
The Jindong side is okay. The Royal Palace has strong control. In addition, for the military warfare groups under the Royal Palace, the benefits of foreign wars are obviously greater than the supply of smugglers. So these guys are in Jindong has not become a climate.
Xu An only cleaned up some small trash fish, and only these small trash fish.
On the contrary, it was more serious on the court side.
At the beginning, Ji Lao Liu had an operation and died violently by himself, and then used Lu Bing as a knife to clean up a group of people. A large part of it was the “officials” colluding with the government and businessmen.
After Yan Guoma stepped in, a huge gap was created, which would always be filled quickly by other things;
And Ji Laoliu, who was still the prince in charge of the household department, did everything in order to support his family in the war. In fact, Ji Laoliu was the entire Dayan at that time, the biggest smuggling leader!
Under his leadership, for a period of time, smuggling has almost become the source of money that Dayan relies on most, bringing up a large number of vested interest groups.
These smuggling merchants all over the summers often have their own backgrounds in their respective places. They can become the eyes and ears of the Yan people, but they are definitely not just the eyes and ears of a single person;
They would cry and cry, supporting and looking forward to the reunification of Dayan, wishing to make their hometown a Yantu immediately, and looking forward to the arrival of King Dayan, but they were the ones who most wanted the reunification.
“I think Ji Laoliu will jump with anger.” Zheng Fan suddenly laughed.
I started Jindong here first, which is tantamount to startling the snake~www.mtlnovel.com~ will catch Ji Laoliu of Yanjing off guard.
The blind man opened his mouth and said, “Why do things urgently follow the authority, the subordinates have already greeted the emperor.”
“Oh, that’s good.”
When the emperor knew that it was not himself but someone else who communicated with him on weekdays,
The prince didn’t feel ashamed, but he was more at ease that he didn’t reply all the letters to the blind man himself, and the blind man would only pick the key points to tell himself.
At this time,
Two guards in Jinyi rushed to the observation deck.
“Report, Lord, Fan Cheng has an emergency military situation!”
This time, before the blind man could pick it up, Zheng Fan personally reached out and took it, opened it, and immediately let out a big laugh:
“Hahahaha,
Our Coyote is surrounded. ”
