Chapter 263: Brother

The next day,

What was originally a two-person escape team became four.

Jiang Hu had a pack horse carrying some things, and two women were on either side of the pack horse, walking with the pack horse.

Ahead

Jiang Hu opened the way, and Zheng Fan followed behind him to respond.

This walk was almost the whole day, and it was dusk when the big guys stopped to prepare for camping.

The princess is very adaptable, and now she can bear this load, Gongsun Ling looked soft and weak last night, but she is very tough in her bones, and she gritted her teeth and survived.

When camping, Jiang Hu went to the periphery to make some traps and whistles as guards, while Gongsun Ling was lighting a fire.

Uncle Zheng took a piece of smoked meat, walked to a stream in front of him, and began to clean it.

The princess also came over and began to fetch water some upstream.

"How about it, with Jianghu opening the way, doesn't it feel a lot easier?"

The princess is from her daughter's family, and she is smart, she is really smart, but there is still a little childishness in her body.

In Zheng Fan's opinion, she is actually about the same qualifications as the county lord, and what she lacks is experience.

The county lord is the master who can lead the Zhenbei army to wander around the desert at a young age and destroy the tribe at every turn.

The princess has been living in the deep palace,

The former is indeed excellent, but the latter still has a lot of room for growth.

"Your green python should be very famous." Zheng Fan asked while washing the bacon.

"Yes, what's the matter, I brought it to me at the beginning, but it caused a sensation, and even my father praised me."

"It's so famous, and it's been domesticated by the Imperial Beast Supervisor, although Jiang Hu doesn't have the surname Gongsun, but after all, he is the old man of the Imperial Beast Prison, he can't know you, it's normal;

But will not know your green python? ”

The princess blinked twice and said, "You mean that he actually recognized us a long time ago?" ”

"Probably, and, look at our attitude as fugitives, when we see someone calling for help, we directly give her an arrow to free her;

Jianghu and Gongsun Ling are also fugitives, so when they face people in need of help, their approach is to take us back for supper and rest.

or

Could it be that we are too evil? Too bad?

And they are kind people? ”

"So, he actually wanted to bargain with us for a long time, so he pretended not to know us at first in order to facilitate this?"

"If that's the case, then I'm relieved."

Bargaining well, one sings white face and the other sings red face, this is normal.

Uncle Zheng is not afraid that people will have requirements, and everyone will take what they need, that is, to achieve their goals.

"And what else might they do?"

"They are different from you and me, and your reputation has already stinked."

"......" princess.

"As for me, I am the Earl of Yan Kingdom, even if your brother gives me a high-ranking official, to be honest, as a descendant, the best ending is to be offered there as a plaque, far less relaxed and comfortable than I am in Yan Kingdom.

Therefore, it is impossible for me and you to go back, and it is impossible for you to be willing to let yourself stay in the Chu State.

But they are different,

The Gongsun clan helped the eldest prince to deal with your brother, and your brother suppressed them, and your brother was the victor, I think he had that kind of high profile.

If they take the two of us and give them to your brother, your brother will surely pardon them, and the officials will be reinstated, and it will not be a big deal. ”

The princess's face suddenly became solemn, she was still complacent about her performance last night, but she didn't expect this.

Actually, Uncle Zheng didn't think about it so deeply at the beginning of last night, but when he went to sleep, he thought about it.

In the final analysis, it was because Uncle Zheng was unwilling to trust others, and earlier, even at home, he had to fight wits and courage with the demon kings.

"Aren't we in danger now?"

Obviously, the princess, like Uncle Zheng, doesn't like the feeling that life and death are in the hands of others.

"There's a way."

……

Time to eat

It's still bacon with vermicelli.

Gongsun Ling shouldn't know how to cook, but she still likes to stew.

But now that you're running for your life, let's just eat.

When eating,

Zheng Fan spoke first:

"Actually, think about it, if you stay in Chu State, it's good, and the mountains and rivers in Chu Country are good."

Gongsun Ling flattered:

"If Uncle Zheng stays in Chu State, he will be very important to the regent."

"It should be, but I don't dare to give me any real power, the most likely thing is to be taken by the regent, pretend to be an archway, or accompany the regent to play chess and talk, and be a close minister."

Hearing this, Jiang Hu's face pale slightly.

The princess spoke: "This time I did this kind of thing, eloped with other men on the wedding day, and if the royal brother catches me, he will definitely lock me in a dark room like when I was a child." ”

Gongsun Ling said: "After all, Her Royal Highness the Princess is the regent's own sister, no matter what Her Royal Highness the Princess has done or done, the regent will not be really angry with Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

When the princess heard this, she smiled, hugged Zheng Fan's shoulder, and said:

"That's what I said, but I don't regret it, who told me to fall in love with him, just like Brother Huzi fell in love with Sister A Ling, this thing that looks right is the same as in the record book, what you can't see or touch on weekdays, once the time comes, you really have to be him."

Ah Ling glanced at Jiang Hu and a smile appeared on her face.

People's hearts are all flesh long.

As the young lady of the Gongsun clan,

may not have looked down on Jiang Hu before, but now, she knows that Jiang Hu is the capital of her life.

Whether she fled in Chu or went to Yan Kingdom, she had to rely on Jiang Hu.

Licking the dog to this point is almost a howling dog.

Jiang Hu smiled and said, "Uncle, Your Royal Highness the Princess, we will definitely be able to walk out of this mountain and return to Yan Kingdom, because in Yan Country, Uncle can truly display his talents."

The villain also thought about it carefully, whether the beast prison is reset or not, the villain actually doesn't care. ”

Hearing this, Gongsun Ling looked at Jiang Hu with some surprise.

"The villain hopes that the uncle can take him in, and in the future, let the villain follow the uncle and raise demon beasts for the uncle in the Snow Customs, and there are a lot of demon beasts in the Tianduan Mountain Range."

Zheng Fan's words before meant that even if I was captured and returned to the Chu State, the regent would push me to the front, and the regent would definitely value me.

The princess understood, and followed up, she was the regent's own sister, to put it mildly, even if she failed in her rebellion, the regent would not kill her, but would only be imprisoned.

We were captured back to the Chu State, and we are still human beings, even if you Jiang Hu arrest us back and make meritorious contributions, you are still just ordinary courtiers, killing you and taking revenge on you is very simple.

Jiang Hu obviously understood the warning and expressed his loyalty.

The warnings and vigilance of both sides, in harmony, completed a round of confrontation.

In the next ten days, the mountain road was difficult to walk, but Jiang Hu opened the way, and the two women were also very competitive, so the four of them traveled very quickly, and there were no accidents along the way.

Oh, except that the vermicelli is finished.

After eating the vermicelli, everyone began to rely on hunting to eat, there were a lot of prey harvests along the way, and at the same time, the green python would come over from time to time to send some of its "leftovers and cold burn", so there was no shortage of food and drink.

It's game, and eating it for many days at once is really a great burden on the stomach.

On this morning, the four of them were still moving forward, but the green python suddenly came out and stopped in front of everyone.

In general, green pythons rarely appear during the day.

Jiang Hu immediately lay on the ground, his ears were close to the ground, and said:

"The sound of horses' hooves, there are quite a few people."

In fact

Now the four of them are about to walk out of the mountain, and in front, it can be regarded as the remnant of the mountain, that is, they are about to enter the area where the two countries of Yan and Chu are facing each other.

After having a premonition that a cavalry was coming, Jiang Hu immediately hid the pack horse, and everyone also hid.

Soon, a cavalry of the Chu people, numbering about a hundred, appeared, and they did not stop and continued to gallop westward.

Uncle Zheng immediately said to Jiang Hu beside him: "This is the vanguard sentry horse, we must transfer now." ”

Where a large army is pulled, there must be a vanguard army, and the vanguard army opens roads and bridges when encountering mountains and rivers, which is the key to opening up blind spots on the battlefield to the outside world, and the vanguard sentry cavalry is the sentry cavalry of the vanguard army, which is generally marching into the scale of the formation.

And only after the army has set up camp will the sentinels continue to subdivide to gain a wider view.

Therefore, right now, there should be a large army of the Chu State heading here.

If you don't hurry up and leave here now, the four of you will probably be included in that Chu army of no small size, and you won't be able to run if you want to.

Uncle Zheng immediately took the three of them to the south together, that is, to go back, because they might encounter the Chu army in the north, east and west, so they would rather go out of the mountain two days later to ensure their safety.

However, not long after Uncle Zheng and the others traveled south, things changed, or called, for the better.

There was a cavalry of the Chu army, galloping from the west to the east, which should be the opposite of the one encountered earlier, and behind them, Uncle Zheng saw the black-armored cavalry chasing them.

Heaven is merciful,

After seeing the familiar knight armor of the Jingnan Army, Uncle Zheng's eyes were actually a little moist.

This is really not pretending, but since the fight escaped on the day of the wedding, from Zhou County, until now, in the past nearly a month, Uncle Zheng has no demon king to accompany him except for the magic pill, which can be described as a real worry, right now, seeing the cavalry of the Jingnan Army, there is really a kind of cordiality of the wanderer who has left his hometown to return to his homeland.

"Not good, Yan Jun!"

Jiang Hu instinctively whispered.

forthwith

Zheng Fan looked at him.

Jiang Hu also looked at Zheng Fan, a middle-aged Orion man, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his face showed a look of ridicule.

This is his habit and instinct, but now, he has turned his back on the Chu State, but his position has not been completely reversed because of inertia.

In the current situation, according to Uncle Zheng's analysis, it should be that the two group armies of the two sides met on the way to the rapid march, which is the so-called ...... Encounters.

After seeing the vanguard of the other side, the first reaction of the vanguard of both sides is always to send one or two knights back to report to the commander first, and then directly charge at the other side and eat the opponent's vanguard army.

Because of the encounter, it is impossible to give you too much time to react and layout, and if even the vanguard is surprised, the rear coach must also be surprised, a melee, there is a high probability that it will break out, and at the beginning of the melee, eating the opponent's vanguard sentry is equivalent to hacking the opponent's vision, so that your boss can leave a trace of clarity than the other party in the melee.

Of course, in addition to the choice of tactical pros and cons, there is another reason, that is, the Dayan cavalry has always had a strong self-confidence of "the first iron cavalry in the world", especially the two armies of the Zhenbei Army and the Jingnan Army.

Since it is a melee, then go up directly, first crush the opponent's sentry cavalry, and then crush the opponent's vanguard army, and then let the enemy's rout retreat to the side, forming a bead curtain trend, and the rear soldiers and horses will rush with it, and the enemy is likely to be defeated in a series of confusion.

Don't think this is very whimsical, in fact, it is not very rare for two or three thousand cavalry to directly defeat tens of thousands of enemy troops, in fact, even those retreating enemy troops are very inexplicable, because they themselves know that their number is ten times that of the other party, ten to fight one, that will definitely be able to win, everyone is two arms on one head is not, but often so confused to rout.

The most classic example of the battle is the 30,000 broken cadres of the 500,000 Northern Expeditionary Army of the first generation of Zhenbei Marquis, which is nearly 20 to 1 military power comparison, and at that time, the Qianguo was the second generation of emperors when the country was founded, and the leader was also the elite division that his brother used to fight the world during the founding period.

At this point,

Uncle Zheng and the others are located on a hillside, and below is a relatively flat canyon, with a good view of the battle.

The princess asked with some curiosity:

"Why don't you go down and say hello?"

The princess is the one who has changed her position the fastest, to tell her heart, the princess has beaten the little golden branches and jade leaves, but she has not suffered the pain of fleeing in the past month, and now she is the second excited to see Yan Jun.

Because it is conceivable that she will follow Zheng Fan back to Yandi, first, she will be canonized by Emperor Chu, and second, she can live in the Earl's Mansion of Snow Customs, and follow her all the way to see Zheng Fan's squeamishness of being more "princess sick" than herself.

She felt that her time at the Earl's Court might not be so ceremonious, but the standard and quality of living were certainly not bad.

Uncle Zheng shook his head and said:

"Now that I go down, it is difficult for them to distinguish between friend and foe, and it is not good."

"Oh, I see."

The princess felt that she had increased her knowledge, because she believed in the ability of her man to lead troops to fight, and in military affairs, what her man said must be right.

And the actual situation is that the battle situation below seems to be the Yan Army's small cavalry is violent, but it may not be able to win this skirmish, Uncle Zheng feels that he is going down to say hello now, and there is likely to be a problem.

Sure enough,

In the rear of this Yan cavalry, a Chu cavalry of nearly 100 people suddenly came out, and the pursuing Chu cavalry in front also immediately turned their horses' heads and began to cooperate with their comrades in the rear to start attacking this Yan army.

Seeing this, Jiang Hu excitedly grabbed the stone in front of him.

In his heart, he was cheering for the victory of the Chu army.

The princess licked her lips, she would be excited to see Yan Jun appear, but now that Chu Jun had the advantage, she couldn't be sad.

Uncle Zheng also noticed the political stance of the two "Chu people" around him,

But this is human nature, and Uncle Zheng understands it.

It's just that, looking at Jiang Hu's excitement, Uncle Zheng just shook his head slightly, because he had roughly calculated that the cavalry of the Chu army that originally fled in front was more than 200 people, the pursuing Yan army was more than 200 people, and the Chu army that followed up in the rear was also 200 people.

The ratio of the number of people is two to one, maybe the Chu army is a little higher, but there is definitely no three to one.

Although the Yan army was caught between the front and rear and was at a strategic disadvantage, it was ......

Uncle Zheng silently took out the Zhonghua brand tin box and smoked a cigarette, this time, he lit it.

The princess looked at Zheng Fan and said with some worry:

"Below, probably ........."

Uncle Zheng spit out a puff of smoke rings and said casually: "Hehe, this is the Jingnan Army." ”

Faced with this form, the captain of the Yan Army below immediately gave the order to continue the charge, and all the Yan Army knights in the front row supported their horse lances.

It is the wisest choice to continue to attack and defend behind you without dividing your forces.

As soon as he came, the cavalry of the Chu army in front had just turned around and recoiled, and the horsepower had no time to re-mention, and he kept chasing on his side, and he just rushed up with momentum!

Second, the idea of cavalry combat is to pay attention to a fast and accurate approach, and the commanders and generals of the cavalry rarely think about such a thing as "covering everything".

strike

It didn't take long to happen.

In a flash

The knights on both sides continued to fall off their horses, but under a round of impact, it was obvious that the cavalry of the Yan army was stronger in riding and horse fighting, and this Chu army was directly pierced and chiseled, and the middle part was defeated, and the Chu army on both sides was a little confused, and because this is a canyon area, the space on both sides is limited, so it also hinders the progress of the cavalry of the Chu army behind.

Even, many Chu troops in the rear actually stopped and dismounted, as if they were planning to save their robes, and at the same time, they were impatient to mend the Yan army knights who had fallen off their horses in the previous collision.

It is equivalent to the establishment of the Chu army, which was originally pursued, and it was scattered all of a sudden.

The knights of the Chu army, who originally wanted to continue the pursuit, also had to hold on to the reins;

At this time, the knight of the Yan Army, who had completed a piercing, was ordered by the captain, and the rear team was changed to the front team, and the horse lance of the original front team had been damaged or lost, but the rear team just kept it and re-lifted the horse lance.

Generally speaking, the equipment of the vanguard army is often the best, and a large army with the strongest combat effectiveness is the descendant of the vanguard army and the commander himself.

The Yan army did not bandage the wounds, nor did they care about the casualties after the previous round of piercing, but immediately began to speed up the launch of a new round of charge, and when charging, began to integrate the queue, so as to shorten the time as much as possible.

The second round of charge, begins.

And some of the knights of the Chu army began to charge to meet the battle, some began to dodge, and some began to wait for the order of the superior to line up, which was completely out of touch.

Next, it's the second chiseling!

The screams were endless.

The Chu army was defeated, and the rest, those with horses, began to flee, and those without horses waited to be swept away by the Yan knights.

Jiang Hu gritted his teeth, and finally, let out a sigh.

He had to admit that the cavalry of the Yan army was strong.

The princess also bit her lip, the guards beside Uncle Zheng on the wedding day, she had seen them, they were very powerful and disciplined, but she felt that those people were carefully selected to follow Zheng Fan into Chu after all.

But right now, in a random encounter, the Chu army, which had twice the advantage in numbers, was completely defeated, and the casualties of the Yan people added up to no more than a hundred.

In other words, the Yan people defeated more than 400 Chu cavalry at a cost of less than 100 casualties.

Uncle Zheng stretched,

Glancing at the Chu people beside him,

Road:

"Dayan Iron Cavalry, unparalleled in the field."

How to say it,

The Jingnan military academy lieutenant below, yes, give Ben Bo a long face!

The princess immediately asked:

"Snow customs cavalry, compared to ...... them"

When Jiang Hu heard this, he also looked at Zheng Fan, obviously, he also wanted to know the answer.

Uncle Zheng smiled,

Road:

"There are some gaps."

"Oh." The princess nodded.

Jiang Hu also nodded, there was a bit of a gap, and it was normal.

"It's not the gap in the soldiers, my Xuehai Iron Cavalry, in terms of combat power and quality, is no worse than the Jingnan Army."

Originally, the quality of the soldiers was extremely high, and now that Liang Cheng had two months of training, Zheng Fan felt that the Snow Sea Iron Cavalry must have taken shape now.

After all, this is not starting from scratch, the barbarian cavalry, the knights of the Three Jins, but they are all extremely sophisticated soldiers.

"The only gap is the gap between me and Jingnanhou."

This is not self-humility,

In front of the Marquis of Jingnan,

Uncle Zheng is a younger brother.

Of course

Uncle Zheng felt that he was the younger brother of Jing Nanhou, and he didn't feel anything to be ashamed of, Lao Tian didn't talk about others, and he really didn't have to say anything to himself.

……

Uncle Zheng stood on the hillside and called out to the Yan army below who had just finished the battle and was quickly clearing the battlefield.

Soon, several knights came up on horseback, stretched their bows and arrows, and pointed at Zheng Fan and the others.

Zheng Fan stepped forward,

Look at them,

I'm about to reveal my identity,

Who would have thought that when one of the centurions saw Zheng Fan, he immediately turned over and dismounted and knelt down:

"Humble uncle, uncle, are you back?"

Obviously, this centurion has seen Zheng Fan and remembers Zheng Fan's appearance, although Uncle Zheng does not remember him.

However, this also omits a large series of processes and cutscenes such as reporting identity, being suspected, self-certification, and being suspected.

Subsequently, the captain of the Yan cavalry saluted Zheng Fan,

Uncle Zheng reached out and patted him on the shoulder,

The other party is flattered,

Uncle Zheng also specially asked his name, surnamed Mao.

On the first day of return, this guy gave himself a long face, and he directly saved himself too much trouble, so he naturally encouraged him more, or simply dug into his own snow customs.

Next, this cavalry no longer carried out combat missions, but became the escort to escort Uncle Zheng and others back to Dazhai.

When it was almost dusk, Uncle Zheng was escorted to Dazhai, and what made Zheng Fan very excited was that Jingnanhou was in the tent of the commander of the Chinese army at this time.

call

After knowing that Jingnanhou was also here,

Uncle Zheng really felt that he was safe!

Jingnanhou learned the news in advance and ordered Zheng Fan and others to go straight to the tent of the commander of the Chinese army to meet him.

In fact, even if he doesn't give this order, Uncle Zheng wants to go straight to the tent of the commander of the Chinese army, even if the Marquis of Jingnan is holding a battle meeting, no one will stop Uncle Zheng from the guards outside.

Because everyone knows the relationship between Uncle Hirano and his own marquis.

Enter the tent,

Jing Nanhou sat behind the handsome table,

I haven't seen him for more than two months, and the appearance of Jingnanhou has not changed.

"The last general will see the Marquis of Jingnan!"

Zheng Fan saluted first.

"See the Marquis of Jingnan!"

The princess also saluted.

Jianghu and Gongsun Ling knelt behind.

The princess is better, after all, she has seen the real world.

Jiang Hu and Gongsun Ling were completely frightened by the momentum and prestige of Jingnanhou and did not dare to raise their heads, the shadow of the famous tree of people, in front of Jingnanhou, can stabilize their minds, there are few in this world.

"The last time Ben Hou received the news, you plan to rob your relatives at the wedding of the princess of Chu State?"

This is a message from the Fan family, but this news is obviously lagging behind.

First, because it is close to Zhennanguan and is a battlefield, it is inconvenient to communicate with the rear news;

The second is that after robbing relatives, the Chu people went crazy to blockade and search for Mengshan and Qishan, so that the messengers of the Fan family could not continue to transmit news here.

Therefore, Jingnanhou only knew that Zheng Fan planned to rob his relatives and rob the princess's relatives.

Below, it's gone.

Even Jing Nanhou didn't know whether this relative had been robbed or not, and he didn't know if this Zheng Fan was dead, or if he was still alive.

What he can do,

just kept trying to put pressure on the Chu army in Zhennan Guan.

Hearing this question,

Uncle Zheng immediately raised his head, with a smile on his face, and pointed to Xiong Liqing beside him and said:

"Master Hou, this is the fourth princess of Chu State, the sister of the regent of Chu State."

Zheng Fan said that it was true, then it must be true, because Zheng Fan would not deceive anyone who deceived Jing Nanhou, and Jing Nanhou was obviously aware of this.

Xiong Liqing will say goodbye immediately,

Road:

"Da Chu Xiong Liqing, I have seen the Marquis of Jingnan, and the Marquis of Jingnan is Fukang."

Tian Wujing, sitting behind the handsome table,

Looking at the princess of Da Chu kneeling below,

mouth

Slowly revealing a touch of arc,

Road:

"You don't need to call Hou Ye."

Xiong Lijing looked at Jing Nanhou a little blankly, and then looked at Zheng Fan beside her, she didn't know what Jing Nanhou meant by this sentence, was she dissatisfied with herself, and planned to disgrace herself, or was she disdainful of herself, the princess of Chu State?

Tian Wujing continued:

"Call brother."
