Chapter 45: Character
At this moment,
Zheng Fan really has a feeling that destiny is in me!
If it weren't for Li Fusheng on the top of his head, if he didn't have the Marquis of Zhenbei and the Marquis of Jingnan, if it weren't for Emperor Yan, if it weren't for Gonggong Wei,
If it weren't for the fact that there were only 2,500 men under his command,
If there weren't so many,
Zheng Shoubei can really give a "look" to the blind man,
Then the yellow robe was added.
However, Zheng Fan, who had always been cautious, immediately asked:
"Will there be fraud?"
Liang Cheng shook his head and said, "They can't afford to cheat." ”
Deceive and surrender, lure the enemy deeper, and then counter-kill, you also have to see what level the other side is.
The local guards of Qingshan County plus a group of deserters plus a water of local county people,
Can these people have such a high-end job as defrauding?
Just as the tactic of "deception" was rarely used in ancient times, because many times, deception would turn into a real rout.
Hearing Liang Cheng's answer, Zheng Fan was relieved.
Although I didn't plan to attack this city, since the city gate had been opened, I couldn't help but go in, right?
Could it be that you can still say to people:
No, you go back first, continue to defend the city, and wait for the next time I come to attack the city!"
Zheng Fan is not Li Fusheng, he doesn't have such a strong desire to kill, at that moment, the cavalry began to move forward, and the team as a whole pressed forward.
"Kong Mingde, the chief bookkeeper of Qingshan County, see my lord!"
"Humble and forbidden military captain Zhang Hongqi, see my lord!"
One is the local master book,
One is a captain of the forbidden army,
The one who was tied into a dumpling should be the county order of Qingshan County.
The county magistrate was gagged, and he kept struggling with "woo woo", his eyes were full of indignation, and when he looked at the two people around him and the Yan people, his expression was extremely hateful!
Zheng Fan pointed to this county order,
Road:
"Chopped."
When the county magistrate heard this order, the struggle became even stronger!
Zheng Fan smiled, although he felt that it was very wrong for him to laugh at this time.
Because in any case, since the county commander in front of him will be escorted out by his subordinates to surrender, it is obviously because he intends to hold on and does not intend to surrender.
He is a hard-boned and upright person, and he is also a respectable person.
He should have resigned himself to his fate, but he is probably still preparing when the stuff in his mouth is taken away.
In the face of the persuasion of the Yan people,
He's going to spit on the ground,
Scolding:
"Phew, swallow dog, I XXX swear not to surrender!"
As a result, Zheng Fan jumped directly.
Liang Cheng stepped forward and slashed the county magistrate.
In fact, this county commander may have a lot of integrity left, because since he plans to defend the city, he still uses deserters to defend the city, and at the same time, he can't balance the local forces in Qingshan County, which proves that the business level and ability of this county commander are indeed poor enough.
Kong Mingde and Zhang Hongqi knelt on the ground, trembling.
Obviously, jumping a step will make both parties a little unaccustomed.
"Lord, will you enter the city?"
Liang Cheng asked.
"Come in, and then come out."
"Subordinates obey."
Next, a scene that surprised the people of Qingshan County appeared.
The Yan army rushed into the city with great momentum, then circled around the city, and drove out of the city in full view of everyone.
The people were stunned,
The guards were stunned,
Kong Mingde and Zhang Hongqi were also stunned,
Zheng Fan rode a horse in front of the two,
The two of them knew that the young man in front of them was the leader of this Yan army, so they hurriedly lowered their heads.
Zheng Fan untied his saber and threw it directly in front of the two.
Road:
"My surname is Zheng, my name is Zheng Fan, and I don't know if you have heard of me, yes, I look at you today, this knife is given to the two of you."
Zheng Fan pointed at Kong Mingde and said:
"You, for the county magistrate of Qingshan County."
Kong Mingde looked at the knife on the ground, and then looked up at Zheng Fan, a little stunned, but quickly reacted, kowtowed:
"Thank you, sir."
Zheng Fan pointed at Zhang Hongqi again and said:
"You, guard for Qingshan County."
"Thank you, sir."
"Send someone to Chuzhou City to deliver a letter to Wen Sutong, just say that you have already attached to my Dayan."
"Obedience."
"Obedience."
After speaking,
Zheng Fan waved his hand,
The sergeants followed behind Zheng Fan and walked around Qingshan County.
Zhang Hongqi, who knelt on the ground and didn't get up for a long time, and Kong Mingde glanced at each other,
They all saw doubts in each other's eyes,
Which one is Yan Ren playing?
In fact, Zheng Fan doesn't know which one he is playing.
Yes, he had just said that this place was suitable for development, but he never thought of taking the city today.
And now that the Yan army didn't even leave a single soldier in Chuzhou City, how could it be possible to divide troops to guard this Qingshan County?
If Zheng Fan really dares to keep troops here, if he stays less, if he doesn't use it, if he stays too much, he will inevitably be severely punished by Li Fusheng, this is disrespectful to military orders, this kind of mistake on the battlefield, no matter who Zheng Fan is favored by, it is not easy to do.
It's not that I didn't want to leave a demon king here to watch the scene, so I should sort out here in advance.
But once you come here, there may be changes in the future, and it may even change hands, the seven demon kings, each of which is more important in Zheng Fan's heart than thousands of troops.
Second, we have to continue to go south, everyone said that we should play together, and whoever you leave here now is not appropriate, because the person who stays has to be afraid that he will die suddenly.
The most important thing is whether he will be assigned to Qingshan County in the future, and he has not even scratched the word!
Therefore, he could only casually seal two officials like this, and then leave directly.
Feng Guan'er's matter is not a big problem, according to the style of doing things in the upper echelons of Yan Kingdom, it must be understandable, after all, there is no one who opens the city and surrenders to you but directly ignores the reason.
However, because of this delay, it was already late at night when Zheng Fan's troops caught up with the large army.
As soon as Zheng Fan entered the camp, he received a military order, saying that Li Fusheng was already angry when he saw that he had not returned for a long time.
There was no way, Zheng Shoubei couldn't take a break, so he could only go to the army camp immediately, and just after entering the military tent, Li Fusheng, who was sitting on the blanket, scolded directly:
"Straight lady thief, I returned to the camp so late, I would have asked you to keep an eye on Qingshan City, could you go and defeat Qingshan City?"
Zheng Fan was stunned for a moment and asked:
"My lord, you know everything?"
"Hmm, what do I know?"
"Qingshan City was defeated by his subordinates."
"............" Li Fusheng.
Li Fusheng slowed down for a while before he spoke:
"In detail."
Zheng Fan told what had happened, of course, what Wolong and what kind of development place, he naturally skipped it.
After listening to Zheng Fan's narration, Li Fusheng patted his thigh and said with emotion:
"Zheng Shoubei, your luck is really no one."
"Actually, it's because of the battle of the Lord the day before yesterday, the courage of the Qianren was shattered, and the Qianren were afraid of the martial arts under the command of the Lord, so they surrendered directly without the heart to defend the city."
"Don't say pretty words, although there is no difference between this city and not, but in the credit book, it will be recorded for you."
"Thank you, sir!"
"Okay, let's get down to business."
"Business?"
"I received a military report at night, Li Bao's soldiers and horses in half of the town, in Beihe County, broke the 80,000 Xiang army led by the Beihe County Jiedu envoy."
When Li Fusheng said this, his expression was a little angry.
Because of the matter of Chuzhou City, his troops and horses were delayed for a few days, which also made it so that until now, he still has not left the boundary of Chujun County, and has not yet entered Beihe County.
As a result, Li Bao's troops and horses had already entered Beihe County, not to mention, and they had a big battle.
"The Qianguo's army is a waste." Zheng Fan said.
Basically, the Qianguo army can farm more land than can fight, and such a unit really has no combat effectiveness.
Moreover, the Xiang army of Beihe County had screened before, and all the soldiers and generals who could still be regarded as some quality were screened out, and the envoy of Beihe County was handed over to his son-in-law Han Wu to take him north, that is, part of the cadre army that Li Fusheng defeated the day before yesterday.
This is enough to see what scum is left in the Xiang army of Beihe County.
"It's all rubbish, I hit 30,000 waste, he Li Bao hit 80,000, this limelight is still covered by him Li Bao!"
get
Li Fusheng is unhappy with this,
Competition within your own group.
"Then what are Lord Li Bao's soldiers and horses doing now?"
"I didn't take a break, and continued to go south."
Hey, you're in such a hurry.
Zheng Fan thought of what the blind man said in the afternoon, combined with what Li Fusheng said, the commander of Li Bao's general soldier was only half a town.
It seems that the two marquis, the Marquis of Zhenbei and the Marquis of Jingnan, have been cruising and hiding in the territory of Chujun with nearly 200,000 troops in their hands, waiting for the trilateral army of Qianguo to come back to help.
And what really went south from Chujun was Li Fusheng's half of the town and Li Bao's half of the town.
The role of these two troops and horses is to go south, south, and then south, all the way to the hearts of the cadres, forcing the emperor to issue an edict urging the soldiers and horses on the three sides to return to help.
This is a big strategy, but on a small level, Li Fusheng and Li Bao are in a race, and whoever runs to Shangjing first will be the first.
It's not just a race for breath, it's a deeper political and future impact.
Since the Zhenbei Army has gone south, it is impossible to pull all of them back to Beifeng County, and it is destined that more than half of the Zhenbei Army will continue to stay.
To be realistic, where you can live a good life, fools can make a choice, even if these general soldiers don't care, even people like Li Fusheng probably prefer to exterminate the clan unscrupulously in the desert, but what about the sons and daughters under his command?
Sometimes, as a leader, you represent not only yourself, but also the collective interests of the people behind you.
It's just that Li Bao's soldiers and horses are really as good as their name, they are extremely fast, and they probably can't catch up.
"My lord, my subordinates have a plan."
"Oh? Let's hear it. ”
Li Fusheng had obviously had a meeting with his generals before, and there must be no way to ask Zheng Fan.
After all, before the battle the day before yesterday, Zheng Fan's military level was still recognized by Li Fusheng.
Zheng Fan took a deep breath and slowly spit out, this time there was no off-field connection, he could only rely on himself, but he really had a way.
"My lord, we can be a little slower, and we can get to Beijing faster than Lord Li Bao's."
"Slow?" Li Fusheng looked at Zheng Fan with some confusion.
"My lord, Lord Li Bao's army has already entered the hinterland of Beihe County, and it will be a matter of time before it enters Xishan County, but after entering Xishan County, no matter how stupid the cadres are, they will know what Lord Li Bao is going to do, so they will definitely gather all the warlike armies that can be mobilized in the land of Gyeonggi and nearby, and for the sake of their own face and the face of their official family, they will definitely try to stop Lord Li Bao's attempt to drive directly from Xishan County to Beijing.
The Qianren absolutely do not want my Dayan Iron Cavalry to appear outside the Shangjing City. ”
"You mean, let me deliberately take a slow time in the back, so that Li Bao can face the pressure of the dry people alone?"
There are many soldiers and horses in the Qianguo, and there are even more soldiers and horses on the military roster, which can scare individuals to death.
Of course, in reality, although the soldiers and horses are greatly discounted, compared to Yan Guo, it is really not less.
Although many of the troops and horses in it are not very capable of fighting, there are always a few troops that can help a little bit, and no one will doubt this.
The 80,000 Xiang army that Li Bao defeated before can only be said to be a miscellaneous army of the Qianguo, which is nothing, but when he leads the army to continue to go deeper, the Qianguo court that receives the news can immediately mobilize as many elites as possible from the surrounding areas to defend in Xishan County or even in Bianzhou County.
If there is no Li Fusheng's troops as a backup or to help share the pressure, it is estimated that it will be really difficult for Li Bao to break through the defense line of the cadres.
Of course, if the dry people are really too useless and let Li Bao break through, then there is no way.
"Zheng Shoubei, the six towns of the Northern Army in our town, although they have been competing, no one obeys anyone, but on the battlefield, they can never do things that are happy for relatives and enemies."
Li Fusheng's expression and words began to become serious, obviously, Zheng Fan's suggestion had touched the scales in Li Fusheng's heart.
Zheng Fan immediately replied:
"My lord, there is Lord Li Bao's department in front of him to take the first step to attract the attention of the cadres, so that the cadres can attract the few combatable soldiers near the land of Gyeonggi to Lord Li Bao.
Only then did our army have the opportunity to find a gap in the defense of the cadres, directly interspersed with it, and rushed straight to Beijing!
The soldiers alarmed Shangjing, and this was the real purpose of our army's southward march this time.
His subordinates believed that Lord Li Bao was well aware of the righteousness, and he was willing to cover and involve our army and help our army go south to Beijing.
Even, Lord Li Bao marched so eagerly, in order to distance our army and create opportunities for our army, which can be described as well-intentioned and well-understood! ”
"Hmm........."
Li Fusheng thoughtfully,
Li Bao's face and the mouth with a strong garlic smell all day and night immediately came to mind.
Li Fusheng has long said that he is a rough person, and he is a little stupid.
But in front of Li Bao, Li Fusheng has always had a psychological advantage, because among the seven general soldiers of the Zhenbei Army, the most humble is Li Bao.
I like to eat the most, I like to grab food alone, I like to grab military merits the most, I like to grab opportunities the most, I like to grab everything the most, and the appearance of eating is the most ugly!
But Li Fusheng still sighed:
"Yes, yes, Li Bao's character, I have always admired it."
