At noon the next day, the sun was shining, but at this time, no matter how warm the sun was, it could not shine on the panicked hearts of many people in Chuzhou City.

Human beings are a very adaptable being, and this adaptability is not only the natural environment, but also many, many other aspects.

Yesterday, the head and battle banner of the king division scattered the spirit of the cadres in the city, but just as everyone was about to bury their heads and prepare to accept this identity change,

The Yan army in the city,

Actually out of town.

Moreover, it is extremely thorough.

This makes the hearts of the people and magnates in the city extremely complicated, and in the past few days, everyone can't stand it by changing positions continuously.

Wen Sutong and Liu Sicheng stood on the city tower, looking at the Yan army below who were lined up in a neat queue and kept going out of the city.

Wen Sutong is better, the old man has seen too many storms and waves, at this time, the official robe is on his body, but he exudes a kind of leisure to go out to relax while taking advantage of the warm winter sun.

Liu Sicheng's face was a little gloomy.

Some people can only become pawns on the chessboard, they don't know how big the sky is outside the chessboard, they just do their part in a down-to-earth manner.

He kills those who deserve to be killed;

He who should kneel, he kneels.

Liu Sicheng is such a person, a few days ago, all kinds of spirits, with the departure of Yan Ren, all the rain and wind blew away.

"Lord Wen, you already knew that the Yan people would leave, didn't you?"

Wen Sutong nodded.

"So, the lower official dared to ask Lord Wen, what should we do?"

When the invader is gone, the puppet army will naturally panic, and it is precisely because they know what kind of character they are that they will be this kind of second dog.

"Look at it." Wen Sutong is still calm.

"Xiaguan, Xiaguan, Xiaguan ......... in his heart"

Wen Sutong smiled and said:

"How does it feel to take revenge?"

Liu Sicheng's elder brother was dismissed from his post because he offended a powerful person in Chuzhou City, and died of illness on the way to distribution.

Now, the powerful family has been wiped out under Liu Sicheng's butcher's knife two days ago.

The worry on Liu Sicheng's face dissipated slightly,

Road:

"Fun."

"It's all over the place."

"This ........."

Wen Sutong stretched out his hand, patted Liu Sicheng's shoulder, and said earnestly:

"Now that you have made a choice, don't hesitate anymore, the worst result is that Wang Shi will come in again, and when your General Liu is wiped out, my Wen family will accompany your Liu family on the road.

How do you calculate it, you're not a loss, are you? ”

"That's the reason, oh no, no, no, no, that's not what Xia Guan meant, it's not ........."

Wen Sutong waved his hand absently,

Road:

"In the next few days, please ask General Liu to do things well, make up for his soldiers and horses, even if they are indiscriminate, they will all be added, and the dignified Chuzhou City, how can you get tens of thousands of guards to be worthy of such a towering city wall?"

"Xia Guan understands."

"Although I advise you to believe in Yan Ren, even the old man feels a little weird when he says this, but now we are no longer qualified to be hypocritical.

In this city, we have killed too many people, and we have offended too many people, even if they are the people who have been favored by us, they are now smiling and flattering, but when the rumors are not right in the future, they will be the first to stab us in the back, and the worse we die, the cleaner their cowardice today will be washed away.

Alas, isn't it funny, the pigs and dogs who are obviously greedy for life and afraid of death all over the city didn't bark before, but when the time comes, they will bite the hardest. ”

Saying,

Wen Sutong raised his head slightly, stretched his old arms and legs, which had been standing for a long time, a little, and said with emotion:

"However, we are not as good as pigs and dogs."

………

The army went out of the city.

This time, the speed of the march was not as exaggerated as when it continuously crossed the three-border defense line of the Qianguo, and it can be said that it was quite leisurely.

First, there will be battles in the future, and there is no need to tire yourself.

Second, it is also convenient to wait for the armies on the three sides of the Qianguo to leave them some space to pursue.

Whether the blind man was the groom last night or not, Zheng Fan didn't know, and neither did the other demon kings.

It's unfair that a blind man can "peep" at everyone else, and no one else can peep at him.

Even if you want to sneak into the tent at night, you can't escape the blind man's detection.

However, men, when walking together, it is inevitable to open up meat jokes.

Xue San rode a horse parallel to Zheng Fan and whispered:

"Lord, according to the experience of his subordinates, the blind man must have done nothing last night, and the little lady walked normally this morning."

Zheng Fan smiled:

"I can't say that the blind man is a toothpick, you are a mace."

"Hey, hey, hey!"

Xue San smiled like a fool in his early mornings,

I just think that what the Lord said is really good!

After the army gradually moved away from Chuzhou City, a military order from Li Fusheng came down, ordering Zheng Fan's troops to monitor the cadres in Qingshan County.

The capture of Chuzhou City allowed the whole army to get very surplus supplies, but the Yan army would not be bored to capture every city in the south, and therefore, during the march of the army, it would also let some Qianguo cities exist.

However, in order to ensure that the army was not disturbed during the march, a separate team of men and horses would be sent to keep an eye on the movements of the city, one was to warn the cadres in the city not to move, and the other was to cover the army.

The Yan people are basically cavalry, so they can be so willful and arrogant, obviously a robber walking in the master's house, but they can also warn the master's family not to move blindly.

This work has always been carried out by various departments, and it is also based on the number of city guards to distribute and monitor the number of people.

This time, it was Zheng Fanbu's turn.

After receiving the military order, Zheng Fan led his 2,500 cavalry to break away from the army directly, galloped thirty miles to the west, and came to the outskirts of Qingshan City.

In yesterday's war, Qingshan City almost became a decisive point, because after realizing that it was not good, Zu Dongcheng ordered his soldiers and horses to move closer to Qingshan City.

To tell the truth, once this army of soldiers and horses entered Qingshan City, even if the walls of Qingshan City were not very high, and the city defense facilities were not very perfect, no matter how crazy Li Fusheng was, it was impossible for him to really order his Zhenbei soldiers to attack the city.

When the cavalry figure of Cuiliubao appeared in the field of vision of the defenders of Qingshan City, in the city, for a while, the sound of gongs and drums was loud, and more and more people could be seen running to the city wall, and the entire Qingshan County was like a great enemy!

And the leader of the great enemy,

ZHENG Shoubei,

He had already sat down, holding a piece of peach crisp in his hand, eating and drinking water.

Beside Zheng Fan, sat the blind man and Siniang.

The military order is only responsible for monitoring the city, in order to prevent the defenders of the city from sending a small force to attack and disturb, but not to let himself attack the city, so Zheng Shoubei is in a relaxed mood now.

"As soon as the army was defeated yesterday, Qingshan City should have received the news a long time ago." The blind man said.

"It's nature." Zheng Fan clapped his hands, and Siniang very intimately put the water bladder down to let her master wash his hands.

Qingshan City is so close to the battlefield, and after winning the battle, the Yan army retreated to Chuzhou City to rest, no matter how stupid the officials and defenders in Qingshan County are, they can't even send people out of the city to check the situation.

Besides, in yesterday's battle, although most of the cadres were annihilated, there were still a small number of lucky escapes, and there must have been deserters in this Qingshan City.

"Actually, with the merits of the Lord, it is long overdue to be promoted to a general." The blind man said.

"What's the hurry, the key is Jingnanhou, a little deliberately pressed me."

If you want to be a general, you will have to go directly to Beihou at the beginning.

However, Zheng Fan was not dissatisfied with this kind of suppression by Jingnanhou, because he could see that Tian Wujing's intention to promote him was to hope that he could accumulate a lot of money.

"The lord can think of it himself, that's the best, the subordinates feel that the meaning of Jingnanhou is to arrange an errand for the lord in the future that can be taken care of, at least it is also a general who can be said to be the same in a county.

Therefore, we still have to earn some more military merits, which is related to the position we can be assigned in the future.

If it can be directly assigned to Chuzhou City, it will be the most comfortable. ”

If the Great Swallow War goes well,

The Qianguo was either directly destroyed or beaten into the Southern Dynasty,

As long as the armies on the three sides of the Qianguo can be transferred out and eaten,

The entire northern part of the Qianguo will be reduced to the sphere of influence of the Yan State, and those cities that have not been uprooted can only be reduced to lonely cities, isolated cities, which are actually very easy to fight.

For a long time to come, it should be expected that a general's subordinates will guard a town and defend one side, which is the so-called military management.

This situation had to continue until Dayan digested the newly occupied territory, and then the power of governance was returned to the imperial court from the hands of the generals.

Throughout the ages, when the dynasty is changing, it is better than that.

Zheng Shoubei was very open to this, and said with a smile:

"It's not difficult to make meritorious contributions, although I don't have a clue, but somehow, in my previous life, I may have memorized some of them too much, and my luck in this life is really good, and the credit is like rushing to drill into my arms."

"Hehehe." The blind man and Siniang both laughed.

"Don't laugh, I'm serious."

"The subordinates are happy for the Lord, and the Lord is blessed with good fortune." The blind man sent a sycophant.

At this moment,

A group of cavalry rushed from the array to the city wall of Qingshan County, this is hundreds of cavalry led by Liang Cheng, not to attack the city, just idle and bored to run horses, by the way to put a little pressure on the opposite side.

The walls also reacted, and the arrows were released early.

Liang Cheng didn't get too close to the city wall, and led the army back outside the shooting range of the city wall guards.

After coming back, Liang Cheng dismounted, took the initiative to walk to Zheng Fan, and said:

"There are really a lot of defenders on the city wall, and the armor is also a little different, it is estimated that this city has absorbed a lot of deserters yesterday, and it has also mobilized the people in the city to help defend the city."

"Hmm."

Zheng Fan was not surprised by this, after that, it would be a bit too much to take the city by rushing to the door again, just like the different situations he encountered in the two attacks on Mianzhou City before and after.

The slackness of the armaments of the cadres is the slackness of the slack, but not all the cadres are mentally retarded.

After eating, Zheng Fan sat cross-legged and began to use his qi and blood.

His strength has been stuck on the eighth grade for a while, but he really doesn't have a clue how to continue to improve.

Of course, it's normal to have no clue, after all, Zheng Shoubei's strength improvement speed is already very amazing.

No one will bother the Lord at this time, after all, the Lord is not only practicing for himself, but for all the demon kings.

The blind man went to a farther place, sat down, and began to look through the files he had obtained from the city of Chuzhou, which recorded many things about the Qianguo court.

A soldier crouched next to the blind man, delivering hot water from time to time.

Fan Li and Xue San were together, and the two of them began to wander around, looking for that kind of small hole, to see if they could dig out the hibernating snake.

Ah Ming and Liang Cheng sat together,

Water bladder, Ah Ming took a sip, and handed it to Liang Cheng to take a sip.

Neither of them spoke, just let the cold winter wind blow the bangs on their foreheads.

Half of the cavalry of Castle Willow were resting, and half were free-riding horses from a safe distance under the city walls, changing shifts every once in a while.

In Qingshan County, after the initial panic, it also fell into silence.

Time passes slowly,

Xue San and Fan Li really caught a snake and were making a fire to make a barbecue.

Zheng Fan opened his eyes at this time, and the qi and blood in his body had not changed any more.

"Lord, don't be in a hurry, you have to take your time when cultivating this kind of thing." Siniang, who was sitting far away before, got up and walked over when she saw Zheng Fan open her eyes.

"I don't really care about that."

I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and in this world, although there is a saying about the so-called strong, but there are many soldiers and generals, and it can also offset the defects of their own strength.

"By the way, Siniang, next time you change your appearance, you will be a little rude."

When Siniang heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then she understood.

When she was on the march, she was disguised, although she was disguised into a man, but she was too delicate, plus the Lord knew her identity, and she also had a "skin-to-skin relationship" with herself, so when she looked at her beautiful male face after disguise, she ......

The Lord is afraid that he will go wrong, so he is guarding against it.

"The slave family knows."

"Lord, do you want to eat roasted snake skin?"

Xue San walked over with a roasted snake.

Zheng Fan waved his hand and said, "You can eat it yourself." ”

"Yes, Lord."

Zheng Fan looked up at the sky and said:

"It's almost time."

Zheng Fan stretched out his hand and pointed to Liang Cheng, who was still "sitting for two" over there,

"Hey!"

Liang Cheng heard the shout and looked here.

Zheng Fan raised his hand and turned around, Liang Cheng understood, and began to order the soldiers and horses to assemble and prepare to leave.

The large army should have gone far away at this time, and it is meaningless to see Qingshan County, so it is important for everyone to pack up their things and catch up with the large army and continue to go south.

The blind man also came over at this time, and said:

"Lord, my subordinates found that it seems that the Yan army heading south is much less than we imagined."

After skipping the three northern counties of Qianguo, the most direct and closest route is to pass Chu County, Beihe County, Xishan County and then go straight to Bianzhou County, where Shangjing is located.

If it was really a 250,000-strong army heading south, this road would not be so loose, at least, there should be an endless stream of sentinels from other towns.

But such a large section of road from Chuzhou City to the south, it seems that there is only Li Fusheng Town.

"Isn't that similar to what you guessed?" Zheng Fan asked rhetorically.

"The Lord is laughing, everything is under the Lord's control."

"Don't put gold on my face." Zheng Fan shook his head.

In fact, the military plan at the highest level has never been fully revealed, and even now, there are still many details that have not been announced.

For example, in the end, which troops and horses and how many people went to kill the upper capital, such as where to choose to fight the ambush war of the trilateral reinforcement army of the Qianguo.

However, even if the people above don't say it, there will be clues that can be seen.

Starting from Chuzhou City to the south, it is obvious that the scale of the Yan army's southward movement is shrinking.

This means that the main force of the Yan army should all stay at the boundary of Chu County.

The blind man arranged so much in Chuzhou City, and even did not hesitate to "sell" himself and marry a woman from the Wen family.

If after a while, when the reinforcements of the Qianguo country came back, they conquered Chuzhou City and cut down the Wen family, wouldn't all the arrangements of the blind man be in vain?

"Lord, the troops are well organized." Liang Cheng came over to report.

The cavalry of Cuiliubao seemed to have done a winter field team building, and finally gathered at this time and prepared to leave.

Zheng Fan turned over and breathed a sigh of relief.

The blind man rode beside Zheng Fan.

"That little lady can ride a horse?" Zheng Fan asked.

"Yes." The blind man replied.

"It won't be too long."

"It's good to grind out the calluses."

"She's your daughter-in-law." Zheng Fan reminded.

If Siniang's thighs were calloused because of riding a horse for a long time, Zheng Fan would definitely hurt a lot.

Fortunately, Siniang has kung fu and will take care of herself, so you don't have to worry about this kind of problem, but Yuexin is different, even if he can ride a horse, but where does this kind of girl have the opportunity to ride a horse for a long time?

"It's a war now, and my subordinates know what is serious."

"Oh, I see, you're afraid you're going to get emotional, aren't you?" Zheng Fan said with a smile.

"Beautiful women, men want to sleep, smart women, men also like them."

The blind man did not hide it in the slightest, and continued:

"She's beautiful and smart."

"Forget it, I don't have to worry about your business, you can definitely handle it yourself anyway." As he spoke, Zheng Fan stretched out his hand and pointed to Qingshan County in front of him, and said:

"Blind, Chuzhou City, we are not extravagant, it is estimated that at least one town general soldier is qualified to defend the town, but this Qingshan county is also very good, surrounded by mountains and rivers, the scenery is good, or the north-south traffic artery of Qianguo, if we can stand here in the future, it is a suitable place for development."

Liang Cheng said:

"Qingshan hides Wolong, as the name suggests, it is a suitable place to start."

Zheng Fan was a little surprised:

"Ah Cheng, do you know how to read feng shui?"

Ah Ming next to him teased:

"He's been buried too much."

Everyone immediately laughed, Zheng Fan raised his horsewhip, and said:

"Wolong, we don't dare to think about it, and I don't think I have this kind of fate, besides, ........."

"Squeak............"

Then

The gates of Qingshan County were opened.

The gate must have been blocked with something before, so it couldn't have been opened accidentally, and the people inside must have cleared the blockage before opening the door.

Inside the city gate, three horsemen came out, and the first person was dressed in civil official robes and was tied into a rice dumpling.

Liang Cheng immediately sent someone to check, Shaoqing, the cavalry came back and whispered to Liang Cheng, Liang Cheng listened, his face was a little weird, but he still hit the horse and returned to Zheng Fan,

Arch Hands:

"Lord, the defenders in the city have tied up the county order and surrendered to us!"

"........." Zheng Fan.
