Chapter 357: Hospitality

"I'm tired."

The Lord Regent rubbed his brow.

There is no suspicion in employing people, and there is no need to suspect people, at this point, the regent feels that he is not bad, that Emperor of Yan State dares to trust the two marquis under him so much, and he can also trust Nian Yao as one.

but

As the war continues,

The north of Zhennan Pass was broken by the Chu people one after another, resulting in having to shrink the defense.

made those nobles and many people in the court begin to change the direction of the wind.

The excerpts that criticized Nian Yao began to increase, and there were not a few insinuations.

On the side, Xiong Tingshan, who was leaning there and eating apples while cross-legging, said with a smile:

"Fourth brother, those flies, if you don't listen, you want to annoy you."

The regent shook his head, threw the fold in his hand aside, leaned back slightly, and changed to a comfortable position,

Road:

"I'm a little glad now, I'm glad that the emperor of the Yan Kingdom stepped on the gate valve and opened the imperial examination, which can be regarded as completely breaking the thoughts of these nobles of our Chu State.

The horse step on the gate valve is smashed with a hammer, and the imperial examination, which is really used with a soft knife, is cutting them at the root.

Although it is said that like the Qianguo, the imperial examination is used to control the country, but in a hundred years, those scholars seem to be similar to our aristocrats, but in the final analysis, a new group of people will have to go up, and naturally, a large number of people will go down.

If this is not the case,

It is difficult for me to gather us nobles in a short period of time and let them send troops and food and people. ”

Xiong Tingshan chewed an apple and said:

"If you don't step on the door valve, what does he Ji Runhao rely on to start a war with the outside world? They are all interdependent. ”

If the Yan country is still the same Yan country, there are many gate valves, and at this time, under the strong military might, it is impossible to say that these Great Chu nobles will grind foreign workers and send troops to help.

It's a big deal that the Xiong family goes to Yanjing and opens a Chu palace next to the Jin Palace, and they, the big nobles, change their heads to a master surnamed Ji, and everyone continues to live their own lives.

Of course, there is a high probability that the days are not as stable as before, and everyone is also familiar with the Xiong family, there must be a lot of friction and inconvenience if you change your family, but at least, everyone has a way out.

If he Yanhuang just wants a nominal unification, then everyone might as well give it to him.

Just like the royal court in the desert, when the royal court was at its strongest a hundred years ago, it was not really able to control most of the tribes in the desert, but it was able to command them to follow their own banner to fight.

This is the practice of the head wolf;

but

What Emperor Yan did was too decisive.

It is precisely because the big guy knows that when the Yan people come in, they are not the objects to be co-opted, but the objects to be liquidated and attacked, and the dignity and honor of eight hundred years will no longer exist, so they will quickly gather around the Xiong clan and work together to resist the Yan people.

The fundamental contradiction has been caught, and everyone is also unanimous, and the rest is actually a minutiae.

"The way to strengthen the country is right in front of me, but I can't do it, if I can, I only hate my father for dying a few years late, and hate me for waiting a few more years, otherwise, I can't say that I can clean up the country before he Ji Runhao, and when the time comes, it will not be his Yan people who fight in front of Zhennan Pass, but my Great Chu army, go and ask the horseshoe mountain."

The fifth prince didn't have a good impression of the former emperor, and as a son who was almost abandoned by the former emperor, it was not a big deal to use disrespectful words to the former emperor in front of him.

"Fourth brother, this is your fault, you have a good temper, if you tell your brother earlier, my brother will not be able to help you clear the monarch side in advance, haha."

Xiong Tingshan laughed as he spoke.

The regent glared at Xiong Tingshan angrily, he, the fifth brother, since he let down his guard and entered the Yingdu, in front of him, it has become more and more natural.

However, the Lord Regent did like the feeling of brotherhood.

Because the other brothers have been imprisoned by him and are only responsible for giving birth.

"Besides, Nian Yao's minion, I agree with the ability to fight, let's not say whether he is intentional or unintentional, but to tell the truth, in this battle, as long as our Da Chu survives, he Yan Ren retreated.

First, most of the private soldiers of these nobles were consumed, and their vitality was greatly damaged.

To put it bluntly, the battle in the world, the position of this dragon chair, three percent of the name is justified, seventy percent of the soldiers are strong and strong, if those big nobles are all like the Jing family, we are willing to worship them one by one.

Second, after this battle, the fourth brother, you are in the middle of the dispatch, over there, and then the soldiers and horses are integrated, after a battle, what private soldiers are not private soldiers, even if they were before, after the war, they will all become our Chu army.

Third, if this battle is won, the fourth brother will ascend the throne with the general momentum, and then take power, it will be much calmer. ”

"Borrow the Yan people's knife to cut the tumor on your body, fifth brother, you really dare to think about it. You must know that if this knife is one more point off and an inch more, this life may be gone. ”

"If you lose, you lose, if you win, you win, you still depend on your fate, I believe in the ability of the fourth brother, and my younger brother thinks that he didn't look away.

By the way, according to Yangcheng Sheep Soup, it is very famous, I have already sent someone to call the master to make it, and the fourth brother will also have a bowl later? ”

The Regent nodded.

"Actually, my younger brother, I also know that the fourth brother went out of Beijing with great fanfare this time to support Nian Yao's slave, first, to calm Nian Yao's heart, and second, to calm the mouths of those people.

But Yingdu is the core of my Da Chu, the fourth brother is not here, and I am not sure. ”

"Don't worry, when I leave Gyeonggi, at most half a county further north, I will return to Beijing, and when I come out, I want to make this posture clear, and tell those people that I believe in my own minion, and I will never change my commander and do such a stupid thing of digging my own grave;

If Nian Yao can't defend Zhennan Pass, then I'll be a big deal.

Say a thousand words and ten thousand,

In fact, it is more useful not to go by yourself;

Those people, I just told them what was in my heart, and they also felt that it was the emperor's mental trick, and if they wanted to figure out the deep meaning of me, you said it was ridiculous. ”

"Who is called the emperor and the only husband, isn't it because of this, that is, my younger brother is talking to you now, the fourth brother, it seems to be frank, but in fact it is also with caution."

"You're begging for a beating, aren't you?"

"You have to get it, the fourth brother is merciful, we really can't beat you, admit defeat, admit defeat."

The brothers really fought,

Xiong Tingshan, defeated.

Many times, Xiong Tingshan didn't think that there was anything great about that Dayan military god, the peak of the three-grade martial arts, and he still used soldiers like a god?

But the emperor of our Great Chu is also a master, and he can still govern the country.

At this moment,

Deng Man hurriedly ran in,

Kneeling on the ground,

Without waiting for the regent to ask, he replied directly:

"Your Majesty, the military report from the front has reported that a soldier and horse of the Yan army have suddenly appeared on the Wei River and have broken through Jingcheng!"

Xiong Tingshan directly crushed the remaining half of the apple in his hand, stood up suddenly, and shouted:

"What!"

The regent also stiffened,

"How......... Possible? ”

But with such a serious military situation, there can be no mistake.

"Jingcheng is lost? How did the Yanren come from behind? Xiong Tingshan almost roared.

As soon as Jingcheng was lost, the situation in the entire Shanggu County was instantly so bad that it could not be worsened!

The regent immediately calmed down,

Road:

"The Prince Ding's order!"

Xiong Tingshan immediately knelt down,

"Brother is here!"

"Order you to quickly lead the army north, be sure to recover Jingcheng as soon as possible, I don't care how that Yan army came, I want you, completely extinguish them!"

"Obey the order!"

forthwith

Xiong Tingshan looked up at the regent,

Road:

"Your Majesty, please return to Beijing as soon as possible and preside over the overall situation."

The regent waved his hand,

Road:

"No, I still have to stay in Yangcheng for a few days, the news of the loss of Jingcheng can't be hidden, I can't panic, I have to be stable, this Dachu can be stabilized.

After a few days, I will return to Beijing. ”

………

According to legend, when Han Xianggong was not yet in the Privy Council, he led the troops into the rebellion of the Southwest Ping Tusi as a civilian official, and when he had just entered the Southwest Army, he asked the generals to stand in the tent and listen to his views on the war, hoping that the generals could implement and understand his established policy.

Han Xianggong has mentioned countless times that "soldiers are noble and fast", "the battlefield is changing rapidly" and other similar concepts,

So

He hoped that the cadres would sweep away the enemy's dens with lightning speed.

And at that time, the thorny face of the minister, who was not yet a marshal and had not yet entered the Privy Council, stood up, and stood up in front of Han Xianggong, a civil marshal, and said:

The cadres should fight steadily and steadily, step by step, first protect the grain routes, and then defend the army villages, and slowly encroach on the enemy.

Han Xianggong immediately ordered,

For the crime of fear of the enemy's cowardice, the whip stabbed the face for thirty!

In the military books and stories written by the literati, it is customary to simplify complex things and generalize extreme things.

Han Xianggong felt that he was familiar with military books, and Wen Taowu was not a problem, so he should take a radical strategy and report to the officials in Beijing as soon as possible to get good news from the southwest;

And then

The cadres were defeated.

But because of the big defeat, Han Xianggong held a grudge against the thorn-faced general, and if he won a big victory, he said that he would not open up to him, and he should set up a literati as a good story for Gong Zhizhu.

"This story, as it sounds, is interesting." Uncle Zheng sat on the deck, holding a cup of tea in his left hand and said with a smile.

In front of him, it was He Chunlai who told him about it.

He Chunlai, like Chen Daole, is also from a big family of culture and education, and he can be regarded as well-read, so he can remember these celebrity anecdotes very clearly.

"Actually, in the past, Ben Bo also felt that in battle, it should be done with a clever plan, and then with a thunderbolt to hit the cushion, and finally, it will end with the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.

Stupid battles, those are all fought by incompetent people.

But now it seems that in this world, where did the magic plan come from, and what military flag came from, and it disappeared with a finger.

It was those battles, one of which was opened, and three years ago, the king of Jingnan personally entered the cadre and went through a while;

The first time he entered the snow field, it seemed that he only brought 30,000 Jingnan troops to sweep through the area, but before Liang Cheng personally cleaned the road across the mountains, Siniang and the blind man also arranged a grain cave in advance;

King Jingnan even took me personally and went to the snowfield in advance.

In the battle of Wangjiang, the king of Jingnan did not move because he was angry?

otherwise

At that time, the water division of Chu was powerful, the water division was across the river, and the Dayan iron cavalry could not fly over, he was waiting, waiting for the river to freeze, and waiting for the Chu people to withdraw from Jindi.

Fighting a war is really the same as singing on stage, people can only see the scenery in front of the stage, but they forget the quarter of an hour on stage and the ten years of work off the stage. ”

"What Uncle said is very true."

Although lying on the gun, Gou Moli was still the first to express his sincerity.

Uncle Zheng waved his hand,

Road:

"This is one of them, and furthermore, as soon as the military situation is transmitted, the military order is issued again, the troops and horses are mobilized, and all parties are prepared, even if I stay in Jingcheng for three days, in fact, three days is less.

But after defeating the latest group of Chu garrisons, the second group of Chu troops, from beginning to end, we have not seen it.

Three days, maybe in the eyes of Han Xianggong, is enough for countless moments and rapid changes, but here, three days is really just a surplus.

I can guarantee that next, our army will go south by boat, and there may be some chaos ahead, but probably, it is still a smooth road, and the Chu people maintain and manage these rivers very well, which is also conducive to our boating. ”

This is not the confidence that Uncle Zheng is obsessed with here,

It's because of his own surprise attack on Jingcheng, the Chu people never expected that if this was a suspicious array or an invitation to enter the urn......

How to say it, Uncle Zheng's troops and horses may not be as important as the massive amount of grain stored in Jingcheng.

The Chu people who have lost the opportunity,

probably didn't expect that he would not give up after the surprise attack on Jingcheng, and he did not defend this strategic place, but continued to choose to go south.

In fact, taking a step back, even among the Chu people, there are really amazing and glamorous people, who know themselves very well, and immediately judged that they would do such a risky move after receiving the news of the fall of Jingcheng, and tried their best to make the Chu bigwigs and nobles in the court believe in his judgment.

It will take time to wait until the arrangement is carried out and the troops are deployed to intercept it in advance.

In addition, the sailors of the Chu people, one of the main forces is in the area of Mengshan, that is, behind Uncle Zheng, and the other is in the southwest waters of Chu State, which is simply beyond the reach of the battlefield here.

This is no longer some conspiracy,

Purely a "race" game,

The objective limitation of time consumption and geography is placed here, and it cannot be reduced by relying on people's subjective initiative.

So

The problem is that if you go south, you will be comfortable, and you will definitely be famous, but maybe, after you go south, you will not be able to get out.

is still the same sentence, if all the cavalry under his command are cavalry, Uncle Zheng can use the extremely clever cavalry combat experience of Liang Cheng and other generals to fight a circle of grass valley in the territory of Chu State, but now, the four legs have become two legs, but it is not good.

but

Who knows what will happen in the future.

Ah Cheng stayed in Shanggu County and continued to clamp down and harass the Chu people's follow-up grain routes.

He went south to Yingdu in order to attract the attention of the Chu people, so that they were temporarily unable or unable to devote themselves to the supply and support of the northern army.

In the final analysis, they are still trying their best to give full play to the strategic utility of their own troops and horses.

Do what you can do to the extreme, even if you risk it deeply, it doesn't matter.

Because of long-term tacit understanding, long-term trust,

Tell Zheng Fan,

As long as you complete the task given to you by King Jingnan, then King Jingnan will not let you down.

What's more, I am still overfulfilling.

Tell the truth,

Uncle Zheng now really has the feeling that he is a dragon and then hugs the protagonist's thigh.

After all, the protagonist never disappoints you.

Gou Mo left his mouth and said: "Uncle, in two days, our fleet should be able to go to Xifengdu, and my subordinates suggest that we dock and disembark there." ”

Xifengdu is located at the junction of the Wei River and the Mijiang River, where it is barely the scope of Yingdu, which is the so-called land of Gyeonggi.

Continue to go down the Mijiang River and directly ask the gate of Yingdu, which sounds very domineering, but it can only be domineering for a while, and then you have to fall into a dilemma.

After all, if the war horse gallops away, maybe there will be a really unexpected effect, and then think about the Chu people completely drying,

Have a sweet dream of going straight to Yingdu.

But the problem is that when the fleet enters the Mijiang River Basin, even if it is a beacon tower along the line, it is enough for Yingdu to get enough warning in advance, and it will not give you a chance to dream big at all, unless his eldest brother is directly paralyzed, thinking that the end is coming, he directly leads a sheep out and surrenders.

But no matter how you think about your brother-in-law, it's not that kind of person.

If he really is a gutsless rat,

Uncle Zheng will feel that his face is dull,

Xiong Liqing, the princess, will feel that it is not fragrant.

"Xifengdu, it's too early, a little further in, I didn't think of going straight to the city wall, but I have to let our more than 10,000 soldiers, so many black dragon flags, make a bright appearance in the real hinterland of the land of Gyeonggi in the Chu State."

Fan Lihan on the side said with a smile:

"Don't poke chrysanthemums, smear oil."

Uncle Zheng glanced at Fan Li a little helplessly, and in the end, he had to nod,

Road:

"It's not rough."

Tickle the Chu people, it is best to let the soldiers of the Quartet Qin Wang gather in Yingdu, so that the power of Zhennan Pass will naturally be greatly weakened.

"Then let's stop at Yangcheng? Location, almost, enter, can go straight to Yingdu, retreat, to the north, can enter Xieyang County of Chu State, to the east, can enter Silin Mountain, to the west is more convenient, can enter Changxi County, and Changxi County is the birthplace of the Bai Pu Bai family, the rattan armor soldiers that we destroyed in Yangshanzhai came from there, and this county is adjacent to Daze. ”

Gou Moli clearly knew Uncle Zheng's purpose,

That is, to obtain the most effective strategic intentions while preserving yourself as much as possible.

Therefore, he had to design a safe position, at least, when facing the encirclement of the Chu army, he could move calmly.

Uncle Zheng groaned,

Road;

"Yes."

Followed by

Uncle Zheng asked again:

"According to Yangcheng, is mutton very famous? The name sounds, as the name suggests, that is, the sheep don't come, and when they come, they will be gone. ”

Gou Moli was a little embarrassed,

Road:

"My subordinates don't know."

This is a pre-war survey, how can it be possible to do that local snack survey in passing?

You can't beat it with eight poles!

He Chunlai said: "Niu Dongguan and his subordinates said that according to Yangcheng's lamb slice soup, it is famous for its deliciousness. ”

Uncle Zheng stretched out his finger and pointed,

Road:

"Well, I'll have to try a bowl then."

Saying,

Uncle Zheng smiled again;

"If someone else's aunt comes to the door, the daughter-in-law and her mother's relatives have to accompany them to eat, drink and play together to fulfill the friendship of the landlord.

It's a pity,

Let's go,

It's not that fate. ”

Good night.
