Chapter 65: The Rhododendron Blossoms
After the secret spy department explored the physiognomy of the savage king, it corroborated this matter, and only then did it roughly determine the original whereabouts of the savage king. ”
Zheng Fan nodded, thinking in his heart:
Therefore, if the county lord had been a little more willful, a little more domineering, and a little more arrogant, instead of whipping, but directly beheading him, would there be no current Savage Rebellion?
Of course, you can also say that without this savage king, there will be the next one, and maybe even more powerful;
There is no way to assume this kind of thing.
"Master Hou, will you dispose of these corpses first?"
"No, let them be vigilant, and save them from cowering together."
"Oh, good."
Tian Wujing turned over and got on his horse and said, "Let's go back to the east again." ”
How can Zheng Fan question it? He could only follow the turn over and get on the horse, and continue to go deeper into the eastern snowfield with Tian Wujing.
The snow fields are vast, and to a certain extent, they are no smaller than the desert area, but like the desert, most of the area is not suitable for human survival.
The two rode eastward for a few more days, encountering people from several tribes on the way, and even causing a team of savage sentry riders to chase them, but Tian Wujing did not do it again this time, but chose to throw them off.
Afterwards, the two began their return journey.
A few days later, Zheng Fan and Tian Wujing returned to the Tianduan Mountain Range.
The speed of the army will definitely not be so fast, because Zheng Fan and Tian Wujing set off with one person and two horses, and they also grabbed the horses of the savages on the snow field to replace them, and when the army marched, it would take more than three times more time than the two people who might move.
Estimating the time, it may be that when the army comes over and sets foot in the snowfield, the ice and snow in the snowfield should melt, and it should also enter the most "vibrant" moment of the year in the snowfield.
"What are you thinking?"
Tian Wujing asked.
"Master Hou, the last general is thinking that the timing of Master Hou's dispatch this time is very clever, when my army enters the snow field, it happens to be the most important production season for the snow field savages."
It was the same when attacking Qianguo before, a big war, starting in winter and ending in spring, compared with the real killing, the biggest impact was to destroy the spring ploughing in the northern territory of Qianguo.
When Jingnan Hou heard this, he said:
"The Zhenbei Hou Mansion is the most skillful in using this trick, in recent years, it may have been much less in terms of the number of beheadings than it was decades ago, but it always chose to send troops when the barbarians were most uncomfortable.
Soldiers don't just kill on the battlefield. ”
"The end will be taught."
This is really Tian Wujing reminding himself.
If we use a relatively modern idea to elaborate on it, it probably means that war is not a single form of existence, and if it rises to the level of national war, the impact will really be in all aspects.
The use of war to block the production of the other side, so as to cause its internal "famine", may not be so eye-catching in the intuitive head data, but the actual trauma may be more painful than the defeat of them, which is the so-called consumption of local war potential.
"You can comprehend this, it's already very good, but one is potential, the other is a technique, without the support of technique, the potential is just a castle in the air.
In the court of the Qianguo, there are many talented people, even the official, and he is not a vulgar thing, but it is precisely because the cadres dare not fight in the field that no matter how well they plan, no matter how well they plan, they will eventually be a bamboo basket to draw water, and they cannot be put into shape.
The reason why the barbarians have endured the reduction and suppression of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion in this way for decades is also because on the front, they can't defeat the Zhenbei Army, and once the Zhenbei Army can't form a technical suppression, the feedback on the momentum will naturally be impossible. ”
Zheng Fan recalled these words, and for a while he actually forgot to pat himself on the back.
Tian Wujing looked at Zheng Fan's thoughtful appearance, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
In the next few days, Zheng Fan would ask Tian Wujing some questions, most of which were only limited to military aspects, and Tian Wujing would also answer.
As for the parents' shortcomings, Tian Wujing mentioned it again, and Zheng Fan did not take the initiative to lean over there.
All the way to,
The two finally left the Heavenly Broken Mountain Range and returned to Shengle City.
It took more than 20 days to get this in and out.
The city wall of Shengle City has been repaired several more sections than when it left, and a neat military village has also been erected outside the city.
The Marquis of Jingnan is strict in governing the army, and the Jingnan Army under his command is known for its strict military discipline, which is not only reflected in the aspect of not burning, killing and looting, but also in the fact that as an army that is good at cavalry combat, it can also be meticulous when camping.
"Master Hou, go back to the city and ......... first"
"Ben Hou will return to the military village first, and Zheng Chengshou will organize three thousand soldiers and horses to accompany him before noon tomorrow."
Tomorrow?
Zheng Fan wanted to explode foully, but he still held back.
In the end, I can only give up my life.
forthwith
Tian Wujing went straight to the military village, and Zheng Fan returned to Shengle City.
The construction of the city wall had been stopped, and a large number of slaves were transferred to the logistics side to assist the logistics support of the 30,000 Jingnan army iron cavalry who had just arrived.
When Zheng Fan returned to the mansion, he found that everyone in the mansion was busy, since the army was marching from here, the preparation work required was naturally extremely huge, and most of the work fell on Shengle City, on the one hand, this is the organization's trust in you, it is Jingnanhou's trust in you, on the other hand, this is also your robbery, you can't hide.
As soon as he entered the back house, Zheng Fan was like racing against time, and he was already lying in the soup pool before the water was placed.
Siniang also stopped her work and rushed to wait for the Lord to take a bath.
"Lord, this time we went out to support the army, and the loss of our family foundation is too much, and together with the part of the goods that Jingnanhou gave us last time in the land of Gyeonggi, we have to basically support it this time."
Zheng Fan wiped his face with a towel and said:
"There's no way around it."
Since you still have the banner of "Yanren" on your head, you have to pay the price and fulfill your obligations.
It is also thanks to Siniang's greed for a lot of ink in the land of Gyeonggi, and later there was a supplement to the treasure house of the Helian family, and the goods in the tomb of King Fu of Chuzhou will soon be smuggled by the caravan.
Therefore, Zheng Fan suddenly understood the "fire and silver" of those corrupt officials in ancient times.
This time, the 30,000 Jingnan troops really came "lightly", and they didn't bring baggage, supplies, or people.
Everything has to come out of Shengle City.
"I just don't know if I can get rich in this war." Siniang thought in her heart.
"Call Liang Cheng to come in." Zheng Fan said.
Liang Cheng came back with his army a few days ago, much earlier than Zheng Fan and Tian Wujing.
When Siniang heard this, she got dressed, went out and called Liang Cheng in.
"Lord."
After Liang Cheng came in, he squatted down by the soup pool.
Siniang went to make tea, in front of outsiders, it was not suitable to do any intimate actions.
"What Jingnanhou means this time is that I will send 3,000 soldiers to Shengle City, and we will take the 1,000 Jingnan troops with us."
"Give it back to us?"
"Money, food, and people, this thousand Jingnan Army is embarrassed to be taken back by Jingnanhou?"
Liang Cheng nodded, "That's indeed the truth." ”
"The remaining two thousand men and horses, you can make up for them as appropriate, in addition, this expedition to the snow field, if the army fights well, I believe there will be a lot of gains, war horses, slaves, cattle and sheep, you organize the remaining soldiers and horses, let the blind man and Siniang be responsible.
By the way, Siniang ......"
"Lord, slave here." Siniang came over with tea.
"You and the blind man do a good job of responding, this time we are going to help the Situ family fight the savages, so you don't have to worry about what the Situ family garrison near here will do, and it doesn't matter if the defense is lax at all."
"What about the nearby Wubao and Haoqiang, Lord, they have been severely squeezed by our looting these days."
Tian Wujing's banner is really easy to use, those dock castle owners and local heroes have reluctantly donated craftsmen and grain and grass in order not to be exterminated, and even forcibly requisitioned a lot of people.
The pressure is fierce, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no chaos because of this, now that the 30,000 Jingnan army is on the side, these castle lords and heroes are naturally as docile as a good baby, but when the army goes out and Shengle City is empty, it is not sure who will take risks.
"Tell them that this time they will get rich together, and the spoils of war after the army will go out on the expedition, and they need someone to receive it, and this plate is too big for us to eat, so everyone will serve it together.
Call on them to contribute, let them keep the line from our Shengle to the snowfield, and then the loot that comes down from the front, everyone will eat together. ”
When Liang Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said:
"This trick of the Lord is very good, in this way, first, you can win over the Haoqiang Wuwu Fort within a radius of 100 miles near our Shengle, and second, you can ensure the back of the army, once the front is lost, ........."
"Shut up !!"
Lao Tzu is going to go with the army this time!
Liang Cheng shut up.
"This expedition, according to my speculation, should be based on long-distance blitzkrieg, and a large number of captures cannot be slowly transported back, so they need to be transported."
"The slave family knows, please rest assured."
Zheng Fan got used to picking the door, and after losing the spare tire of Xiao Liuzi for blood transfusion, he had to start to support himself before he became more and more aware that life is not easy.
Liang Cheng went down after receiving the order,
Siniang began to help Zheng Fan wipe his back,
When you are about to play with the needle according to the established process,
Zheng Fan shook his head,
said a phrase often said by old husbands and wives:
"Wash and sleep."
………
When your boss is a drunken rice bag waiting to die, you will be very depressed;
And when your boss is a workaholic careeraholic, you can be just as miserable.
Zheng Fan, who rarely slept well in bed, put on his armor with the help of Siniang early in the morning, and then immediately got on his horse and went to join the three thousand Shengle City soldiers and horses prepared by Liang Cheng outside Shengle City.
Of the 3,000 people, 1,000 were the Jingnan Army, and the rest were composed of the bald family's clan soldiers and Jin soldiers, and Zheng Fan's old foundation was left at home.
Of course, from Zheng Fan's standpoint, this is preserving strength, but from the standpoint of Jin Bing and the bald fortune family, this is simply Zheng Cheng's kindness and giving himself credit.
Especially the Jin soldiers,
Facing the Jingnan Army that had blown them up,
At this time, he was going out with the Jingnan Army again, which can be said to be quite exciting, and his confidence in the war was extremely sufficient.
This is the same as when you once played a game and was educated by the great god, but the great god invited you to team up with you to open the black and let you hug your thighs.
Ah Ming hadn't come back from Yanjing yet, he wasn't there, and Zheng Chengshou, who was on the expedition, felt a little panicked inexplicably.
Xue San and Fan Li went out with the army, and the blind man and Siniang stayed behind, after all, compared with the battle situation, the follow-up operation of the hometown is the most critical.
In the morning, the soldiers and horses of Shengle City had already left for the camp of the Jingnan Army and stopped, and all of them dismounted and sat cross-legged to rest.
Although there is still some untidyness in the armor, with a thousand Jingnan troops at the head, these 3,000 men and horses really have an elite aura revealed, which is enough to show that Liang Cheng has indeed achieved good results in training troops with combat in these days.
Zheng Fan also sat there waiting, and beside him, Liang Cheng and Gao Yi sat behind, while Bald Inheritance and Bald Su sat behind.
A little before noon, the gate of the military village was wide open, and the cavalry of the Jingnan Army began to leave the village, and when the huge body of the beast and the gilded armor appeared, Zheng Fan, who was sitting in the phalanx of his army, felt the eagerness and excitement coming from all around.
Ordinary people may be very disgusted and afraid of Tian Wujing,
The bigwigs of all parties will be very suspicious of Tian Wujing,
But the thoughts of the low-level soldiers are very simple, they only know that Tian Wujing can fight, follow him, can win the battle, and they have a greater probability of surviving.
No matter what kind of god-killing people you are, Qiu Ba doesn't care at all.
What surprised Zheng Fan was that these Jin soldiers under his hands actually showed their "admiration" one by one, is this a cool feeling of being beaten?
Zheng Fan silently remembered in his heart, after returning from this expedition, he still had to let the blind man further strengthen his ideological construction, how could the soldiers and horses he spent money raise worship others?
It's almost time, Zheng Fan glanced at Liang Cheng, Liang Cheng raised his knife and shouted:
"Get on the horse!"
Three thousand knights turned over and mounted their horses.
At this time, a Jingnan military academy captain rode over, and his eyes fell directly on Zheng Fan,
Road:
"Hou Ye ordered, Zheng Cheng guarded the Chinese army."
"The last general commands!"
Zheng Fan rode out of his horse, said goodbye to his own soldiers and horses, and went to Tian Wujing.
To tell the truth, Zheng Chengshou is used to this kind of treatment, no matter who is the main general, he likes to transfer himself to his side, maybe, is it really because he speaks well?
"Zheng Chengshou, what about the people's baggage?" Tian Wujing asked.
Obviously, the number of people and baggage is too small.
"Back to the Hou Ye, when the last general sent his subordinates into the mountains to open the way for the army, he hid food in advance on the way of the army, which was enough for the army to use when crossing the mountains."
Hearing this, Tian Wujing nodded,
Road:
"Well done, credit you."
"Master Xie."
In the midday sun,
With Shengle City Department as the vanguard army,
More than 30,000 troops were marched out.
And on this day,
In the Mansion of the Marquis of Litian City,
The cuckoo is starting to try needlework by herself according to Siniang's stitches,
But I was not satisfied with how I embroidered, I only felt that Zhuyu was in front, and I couldn't embroider things on the table.
Shaoqing,
She put down the needle and thread,
The midday sun shone through the window on her pretty face,
And her hand rested on her lower abdomen, which was already visibly bulging,
Window
The rhododendrons that the man planted with his own hands,
The garden is full of flowers.
