Chapter 64: Scars

There are herdsmen on the snow field, and for a long time, the war horses on the snow field have been one of the most important sources of war horses for the Sanjin knights.

Before the two marquis of Dayan entered the Jin, the Jin people always believed that their own cavalry was enough to compete with the Dayan iron cavalry, and a very important reason was that the Jin people were not short of horses.

In the early years, it was through war and plunder, and later, with the Yan side pressing down the barbarians, the opening of the "Silk Road" between the East and the West made everyone more willing to sit down and do business.

Many of the familiar savage settlements living in the Tianduan Mountain Range, in addition to selling the "pet" demon beasts in the Tianduan Mountain Range, are actually trading in the two traders of war horses.

"The savage king that the Situ family faced was the first to make his fortune by doing business through the Tianduan Mountain Range, and the armaments, armor, etc., were all through trading with the Jin land, and craftsmen, healers, and scholars were all the objects of his search.

Even, this king once came to Beifeng County in my Dayan, according to the investigation of the secret spy division afterwards, it is very likely that he had served as a miscellaneous soldier of the Hou Mansion and an auxiliary soldier of the Zhenbei Army in Beifeng County for six years. ”

Auxiliary soldiers are a kind of military between the civilian and the regular army, when they are not busy, they need to take on part of the work of the people, and when they really fight, they must be ready to go to the front line to fight at any time.

Zheng Fan stayed in that place in Beifeng County for half a year, and he also knew the atmosphere there, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a multi-ethnic hodgepodge, the people of all ethnic groups lived in a complex manner, and there were also barbarians who returned to Shun who were low-level officers in the Zhenbei Army, so it was normal for a savage to do things under the Zhenbei Hou Mansion.

"This is here to steal the teacher?" Zheng Fan asked in some surprise.

"I'm not sure if it's true, I can only say it's suspicious, but most likely, it's true.

Moreover, there are traces that he also went to Qianguo, but he did not stay in Qianguo for long, and returned to Jin with that caravan. ”

"If only I could stay in Qianguo more." Zheng Fan teased.

It doesn't matter what kind of hero you are, if you stay in Qianguo for a long time, you will become a finger twister.

However, what surprised Zheng Fan was that Yan Guo's secret spy department was willing to spend so much energy to find the traces of the savage king.

As Yao Zizhan once said, the six adult princes of Dayan, Yinjiawei have been paying attention, and the people of Qianguo have been studying the character, temper and even ...... Ability.

This is a kind of attention, and at the moment, it is obvious that the court of Yan Kingdom attaches great importance to this savage king.

"The current situation of the Situ family is not very good."

"Defeated?" Zheng Fan was a little surprised.

Because of the savages in the Tianduan Mountain Range, it is really easy to fight a melon and vegetables, and even Liang Cheng has summed up a set of strategies for fighting savage settlements.

The wildlings in the snowfield should be better than the wildlings in the mountains, but they are not ridiculously strong.

Zheng Fan cut off a large piece of meat from the roasted leg of lamb in front of him and handed it to Jingnanhou.

Now, they are in a herdsman's tent and have spent money to buy a "barbecue" from the herdsmen.

The herders are supposed to belong to a nearby savage tribe that takes advantage of the beginning of spring to move their cattle to the periphery for grazing.

"Our army wiped out the Wen family and the Helian family, and Situ Lei, the emperor of Chengguo, did not dare to fight in a battle and deliberately went to the northeast with the main force.

It's that the border over there is in an emergency.

The defenders of the Situ family there were harassed by the savages, and the main general led the army to take the initiative to attack, but they were ambushed and the whole army was annihilated.

Even after Situ Lei personally led the army over, he also quickly launched a war in order to recapture the three cities, and it may be that because he had just ascended the throne, he was more eager to win a big victory. ”

"Defeated?" Zheng Fan said curiously.

Jing Nanhou nodded,

Road:

"Defeated, Situ Lei himself was injured, the Situ family suffered heavy losses in the soldiers and horses, and the remaining soldiers and horses retreated to the snow customs."

Zheng Fan knew that the blind man had mentioned that the Snow Customs was built by the pioneers of the early Jin Kingdom after driving out the savages, because the northeast of the Jin Kingdom, because the Tianduan Mountain Range no longer extended, so there was a large open area, which could not be separated from the Jin people by relying on the Tianduan Mountain Range directly to isolate the Jin people from the snow field like other places in the Jin Kingdom, so this pass was built.

However, with the Jin people who have been developing abroad for hundreds of years, they have to go out to fight savages when they are in a good mood, and they have to go out to fight savages when they are in a bad mood;

The Snow Customs has long been no actual control area, and the Jin people's sphere of influence has already broken through the Snow Customs to include a large area of snow.

Therefore, the successive defeats of the Situ family are equivalent to spitting out the area that the ancestors of the Jin people have developed outside the world in the past hundred years.

And if the Snow Pass is breached again, the army of savages can spread out like locusts finding an opening.

As if seeing Zheng Fan's face become serious, Tian Wujing took a bite of mutton and said while chewing:

"It's not that the savage is strong, but that the Situ family is careless."

Zheng Fan nodded, he believed in Tian Wujing's judgment just as he believed in Liang Cheng.

"Savages, no matter what, can't compare to barbarians." Tian Wujing said.

Even if the barbarian phoenix is not as good as a chicken now, but the people can't be integrated together just because of the decline of the royal court, and their own combat effectiveness is still extremely terrifying, and Zheng Fan has a lot of barbarian soldiers in the team, which is very useful.

On the other hand, Zheng Fan has not incorporated the savages into the army yet, but only uses them as laborers, even if he recruits and submits his savages to fight in the future, it is only the role of auxiliaries.

"However, the most difficult thing for the Situ family now is that although the previous two defeats were heavy, they have not really shaken the bones of the Situ family, but the loss of the city has caused the savages to obtain more armor and equipment and the supply of the artisan population, and the strength and morale of the savages are at the peak at this time.

The army of the Situ family was blocked on the front line of the snow customs for a while, and several times tentatively opened up, but they were all beaten back. ”

"So, what we have to do is to use a strange army to go north from Shengle City, out of the Tianduan Mountain Range, into the snowfield, and then gallop eastward to attack the rear of the savages, so as to relieve the pressure on the frontal battlefield for the Situ family?"

Jing Nanhou shook his head.

"Please also ask Master Hou to make it clear, the end will be dull."

Tian Wujing raised his head slightly,

Said slowly:

"It's not a surprise soldier, and it's not to help the Situ family relieve positive pressure."

"That's?"

"Defeat them."

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

Zheng Fan suddenly felt like a trick that he drew casually for the plot when he was drawing comics before, and his role was to talk to Tian Wujing, and then lead to Tian Wujing's final pretense.

Okay,

You can't fight yourself, you can fight even more with your troops, you say you can blow them up, you are awesome, applaud.

Just then, a series of footsteps were heard outside the tent.

The herdsman's family consisted of only an old couple and a young son, who had not yet taken a wife, and judging from the strength of such a series of steps, it was clear that there were many adult men.

Tian Wujing threw the sheep bone in his hand on the ground, took out a wool blanket and said while wiping his hands:

"It seems that they are too hospitable as you said earlier."

"Master Hou, I was just to remind you that I used a rhetorical tone."

At that time, Zheng Fan's suggestion was that it was most straightforward to kill all the herdsmen in this place.

After all, the dress of the two of them is too eye-catching, and because of the Yanjin War a year ago, the trade route has not yet recovered, and the appearance of the two of them here is too suspicious.

The tent curtain was lifted, and three adult men entered, while the adult son of the old herdsman couple looked inside from the outside of the tent.

One of the servants who came in was wearing leather armor, and the other two were wearing only robes.

The man in armor had a scar on the left side of his cheek, which looked like a new injury.

"Inspire Guvalia!!"

The armored man shouted at Zheng Fan and Tian Wujing.

Zheng Fan said to the armor:

"Wow Kahivakot one more Mimas!"

"........." in armor.

Tian Wujing looked at Zheng Fan with interest and said:

"Can you speak savage language?"

Zheng Fan said modestly:

"He's asking if we're spies."

"Oh." Tian Wujing nodded, "Zheng Chengshou is really knowledgeable. ”

Just as Zheng Fan was about to be modest a few more times,

Tian Wujing turned to look at the armored man and said a string of words that Zheng Fan didn't understand.

The faces of the armored men and the savages suddenly changed when they heard this, obviously, they could understand!

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

It's so embarrassing!

Tian Wujing said again: "The wild people in the Tianduan Mountain Range are complex, each with its own dialect, but the wild people on the snow field use a very ancient language, when the Great Summer Zi sent the Yu clan to open up the land of the Three Jins, this language spread in the land of the Three Jins, and it is a kind of ancient language. ”

"Master Hou, you are erudite, the last general, the last general admires, admires."

"You translated it well, and you mean it right."

"Luck, luck......"

At this moment, the armored man and the other two savages raised their weapons and rushed over.

The next moment, Zheng Fan drew his knife out, his body burst with qi and blood, and he slashed directly at the armored man.

However, at the same time, a strong wave of qi exploded directly, and before Zheng Fan's knife fell, the three savages flew out upside down together with the tent where everyone was located.

Zheng Chengshou's knife slashed a lonely.

And the wild men, along with the shepherd's family, fell heavily to the ground, clutching their chests one after another, looking very uncomfortable and painful.

"Mending the knife."

Tian Wujing said.

"Yes."

Zheng Fan walked over and slashed one by one, like chopping wood, killing all the savages who were seriously injured and fell to the ground, leaving no one behind.

Tian Wujing walked over slowly, pointed to the body of the armored man and said:

"He is a subordinate of the Savage King, or rather, a follower, and the influence of the Savage King has actually spread to this area."

"Is it because of the scar on your face?"

"Yes, because there is also a scar on the Savage King's face, his followers believe that it is a symbol of bravery, and they all follow suit."

"I see."

"Have you seen the county lord of Zhenbei Hou Mansion?"

"The last general has seen it."

"What do you think?"

"Dignified and elegant, everyone is beautiful, and it is unspeakably expensive."

After all, the county lord will be someone's nephew and daughter-in-law in the future, so he has to say good things.

"More than ten years ago, when the county lord was a girl, he flogged the horse breeder because his foal made a mistake when he was taken care of, and the matter reached the ears of the old lady, and the county lord was reprimanded and confined for a month."

"Really?"

Tian Wujing bent down and reached out to stroke the scar on the corpse's face,

Nodding his head:

"They thought that the scar that symbolized Wu Yong was just a whip from the brutal and willful little girl back then."
