Chapter 388: Peace

The fire in Yingdu is still burning, but here, it is no longer the focus of the Yan army's goal.

It was the result of a long run, but it wasn't the whole story.

The king of Jingnan went out of the city, returned to the barracks, and then, without showing up again, he said that he was seriously wounded.

Therefore, this time it was not to test Uncle Zheng again as before, but that he really did not have enough physical conditions to command the army again, and even, the Sword Saint guessed that Tian Wujing might have to sleep for a while.

The king's tent was vacant and given to Zheng Fan for temporary use, and the messenger had already gone to give an order, ordering all the generals above the general to immediately go to the king's tent to discuss matters.

When literati talk about governing the army, there are basically two routines, one is strict military discipline, and the other is loving soldiers like sons;

It can't be said that they are not right, but the right here is the same as if people want to live and have to eat, yes is right, but it is a non-nutritious sentence.

If you really want to quickly master a soldier and horse, the first thing to do is to master the middle and high-level generals of this army and horses.

They are responsible for conveying your will, and with them as the backbone, a soldier can really be used for you.

Uncle Zheng sat on the handsome seat of the king's tent, holding a water bladder in his hand, drinking water in small sips, and on the ground in front of him, there was a map of the heart of the Chu State.

Siniang went to treat the wounded, and the Sword Saint stayed by Zheng Fan's side, holding the Long Yuan Sword next to him as if he was napping, probably still reminiscing about the scene in the fire before.

"Right...... Let's ......."

The firewood in the brazier made a crunch sound from time to time.

After looking at the map, Uncle Zheng took another sip of water.

The Sword Master opened his eyes slightly and looked at Zheng Fan,

Road;

"Actually, I've always been curious, as the uncle of the Yan people, you can shout so easily."

Shout out what?

Rebel Swallow.

"Do you know what Dayan's first gift was to me?"

"Gifts?"

"Believe it or not, my first impression of Dayan was that he was a man in the desert, and he was used as a bait by the lord of the Houfu Prefecture in Zhenbei to attract the Shatuo Department to attack.

In that war, there were very few people who survived. ”

The Sword Saint frowned slightly, as if he was thinking, thinking about what kind of rhetorical technique Zheng Fan was using when he said this.

Zheng Fan didn't bother to continue to explain,

In this Dayan, he actually owes Lao Tian, after all, Lao Tian has saved his life several times.

But for other people, and even, for this country, he doesn't feel how much he owes, and he doesn't feel how much he owes it.

He woke up from this world, not born and raised in this world, and besides, he was taught a lesson by the county lord when he first came to this world.

be

He was constantly promoted,

from the imperial court, from Emperor Yan and from Xiao Liuzi.

But for the imperial court and His Majesty Emperor Yan,

It is because of his continuous military exploits that he is rewarded,

Plainly

It's like going to help cut wheat when the farm is busy, I do the work, you take care of the food, and you pay half a penny as a reward, and you don't owe each other.

I have made meritorious contributions to Dayan,

I have shed blood for Dayan,

Your Yan Kingdom gave me official status and treatment, which is deserved.

We haven't received your Dayan's compulsory education and public medical care, so why should we accept your affection?

It's with the little six sons,

He funded himself without falsehood, this favor, has to be recognized;

But now he has long become a representative of the Six Masters Party recognized by the outside world, and the little six sons have not used themselves to erect monuments to attract others to work for themselves.

See? See?

Uncle Hirano, who is now in full swing, was funded by Lone.

Do you want to be the same?

What are you hesitating about, hurry up and join the Six Masters Party!

So, in the final analysis, it's just a mutual use.

But there is no need to explain these things to the Sword Master, and I can't understand them.

Being alone in a foreign land as a stranger, I have a good impression of Yan, that's okay, after all, I have been fighting under the banner of the black dragon for so long, but I want to contribute all my loyalty and unswerving loyalty to him, sorry, Uncle Zheng really can't do it.

Unless he was taken into the palace by His Majesty Emperor Yan as an illegitimate child at the beginning,

But......

Looking at the treatment of Ji Lao Liu and a few of them, Uncle Zheng felt that if that was the case, he would probably be more eager to rebel against Dayan.

Then

Outside, the soldiers reported that the generals had arrived outside the tent.

"Let them in." Uncle Zheng said.

"Whoa."

Soon, the generals entered the king's tent.

The big guy should have known outside the tent that it was Uncle Hirano and not the prince, so no one felt surprised when he saw Zheng Fan standing there.

Present

All the generals collectively bowed their hands regardless of seniority and rank:

"I've seen Uncle Hirano."

"I've seen Uncle Hirano."

Zheng Fan also bowed his hand in return, and then straightened his waist, his eyes swept down,

Road:

"Yingdu has already burned, great work, we have already taken it in our hands, what the prince meant, he didn't bother to pay attention to the finishing touches below, so he handed it over to Benbo.

From now on,

Ben Bo was ordered by the prince to temporarily control this Jingnan army.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Can you give Ben Bur a face? ”

The Sword Saint stood in a gloomy corner, looking at Zheng Fan, to be honest, there was one thing that the Sword Saint had to admit, that is, this uncle surnamed Zheng, his performance on formal occasions to the outside world was really completely different from in private.

Among the generals below, there are actually many people who know that the prince should be injured, and it is likely that he is temporarily unable to preside over this situation, so the secret edict transferred Pingye Bo to command.

Those who know this inside story naturally understand that at this time, if they want the army to be undisturbed, they must do their best to help Hirano Bo stabilize and control this army.

And those who don't know the inside story, in fact, they are also a little accustomed to the army commanded by the prince on behalf of the prince, after all, first, the prestige of Hirano's military achievements is enough, and the generals are also convinced, and secondly, Hirano has already helped the prince handle military affairs for a long time in the king's tent earlier.

So

Shortly after Zheng Fan's words fell,

The generals changed the previous bow salute to one knee bow,

In unison:

"The last general is willing to dispatch for Uncle Hirano!"

"The last general is willing to dispatch for Uncle Hirano!"

No one suggested that a glance at the Jingnan royal decree should be taken to determine the legitimacy and integrity of the process.

Because the rules are originally set for people who are estranged from each other, King Jingnan's attitude towards Uncle Hirano has always been, how can the big guy not be blind and not understand?

"Everyone, please."

Zheng Fan motioned for the big guy to get up, and then, he pointed to the map hanging in front of him, and began to narrate:

"Right now, what we have to do is to find the place where the regent of Chu is driving, he slipped away, but he will never walk far, first, there is not so much time, after all, there are still a large number of forbidden army guards of Chu State by his side; Second, he was reluctant to be too far away from Yingdu, and if he was too far away, his eyes would be completely blackened.

Furthermore, it should not be possible for him to be north of Yingdu, which is the direction we are coming from.

Ben Bo speculated that in order to ensure his safety, he should be closer to Yingdu, and the east and west directions should not be suitable, only in the south, he can have depth, and in extreme situations, he can continue to go south, using the land of Chu Nan as the foundation to rise again.

Yingdu to the south, out of Gyeonggi, is the Panhe County of the Chu State, and the Panhe County to the south, is the southern territory of the Chu State in the true sense. ”

Zheng Fan's fingers tapped heavily on a mountain range in the south of Panhe County,

Road:

"Here, is Liugong Mountain, hundreds of years ago, the ancestors of the Chu people marched from here, crossed the Liugong Mountain, and conquered the Shanyue tribe entrenched in the south, and the Liugong Mountain was used as a large camp for the Chu people to fight.

This place, easy to defend and difficult to attack, is considered to be the main road of the northern and southern borders of the Chu State, if Ben Bo is the regent of the Chu State, Ben Bo will probably choose to use this as a driving station to wait and see first.

Of course

Bemb's calculations are not necessarily accurate.

But it doesn't matter,

Let's catch the rabbit in the grass and sweep it to the south, Ben Bo doesn't believe it, the accompanying ministers, the clan and such a large royal forbidden army, so many people, can really hide quietly.

If he really hides quietly, then Ben Bo can't wait for it. ”

At this time, a staff general asked;

"Uncle, what's the explanation?"

Uncle Zheng nodded slightly to the general who asked the question, this kid is good, although he forgot his name, but it is worth paying more attention to being able to interact with him so quickly.

"Because he is the regent, and at the same time, he is also the current emperor of the Chu State. After the country was burned down, if he didn't speak out, then the entire Chu country would fall directly into a group of dragons without a leader.

So, he had to speak up, he had to tell his subjects and the various Chu armies who were fighting with our army that he was still there, their emperor, was still there.

If it is really completely hidden, it will actually save us trouble.

But Benbo's eldest brother was not a gutsless rat, so Benbo thought that when our army headed south, he should soon be able to find out where he was going.

Bemb's wife misses her brother very much at home,

Ben Bo is afraid of guilt,

And you know,

Princess,

is willing to follow Ben Bolai Dayan, we have to coax a little, let a little;

She thinks what her brother will do,

No way,

We can only invite Ben Bo's eldest brother to my Dayan to sit as a guest, only in this way can Ben Bo's house be peaceful.

Therefore,

Ben Bo beseeches you in advance,

Do Benber a favor. ”

"Hahahaha!!"

"Hahahaha!!"

When the generals heard this, they all burst out laughing.

Not to mention, after everyone is accustomed to the kind of serious military discussion when the prince is there, they really have a different feeling when they meet an approachable person like Uncle Hirano.

When the prince held a military meeting, it was impossible to have such a scene of laughter.

"What Ben Bo means is that our soldiers are divided into three ways, but these three roads can't be divided too widely, and the battle is on this, seeing that the big guy is not far from the victorious class, but he can't fall into the pit at this time, then it's really not worth it.

The Chu people still have a few hands left, and it is very likely that they will ambush us when we are adventurous;

Therefore, these three routes of soldiers and horses must be able to support each other, and they must not deviate from the general direction without authorization.

General Ren Juan. ”

"The last general!"

"Take fifteen thousand horsemen for my left wing."

"The last general commands!"

A few years ago, Zheng Fan was still a nominal subordinate to Ren Juan, but now, he can directly order him, but Ren Juan has no pimples in his heart.

People hate nepotism because most of the people who rely on nepotism are waste straw bales.

And once that kind of person has the ability and merit, after having nepotism, he will immediately receive the blessing of the halo, and the effect will be better.

"General Chen Yang."

"The last general!"

"Take fifteen thousand horsemen for my right wing."

"The last general obeys!"

"Ben Bo personally led the Chinese army and opened the way for the three-way army."

After that,

Zheng Fan glanced down again,

Continued:

"The fire in Yingdu can't be extinguished in a short time, and Benbo knows that many sons and daughters want to throw some goods out of Yingdu to take away.

Ben Bo has always liked to fight, and he has gained fame and fortune.

The sons and daughters tied their heads around their waists and fought with Chu Nu, opening up territory for my Dayan, staining the battlefield with blood, and getting some goods, what is it?

Ben Bo has always believed that it is normal only if all my Dayan soldiers live as nourished as the rich man at the head of the village, and the wives and children at home are rich.

But at the moment, our battle is not over yet, so we must not stop here.

After the generals returned to the camp, they explained the truth clearly to the soldiers, so as not to make the big guys feel resentful.

After going south,

If you are lucky enough to catch the eldest brother of Ben Bo, the big Chu horse of Ben Bo, you will do your best to keep you full of food and drink, and even eat and take, I am afraid that your war horse will not be able to bear it!

If you can't catch him, it doesn't matter, drive him far away, or force Benberna's eldest brother to sue for peace.

What about Benbo,

When the class teacher returned to the court,

personally take the big guy to find the rich land of Chu to loot,

On the greed for money,

On enjoyment,

Benber hasn't seen anything more powerful than me! ”

This must be mentioned, and it must be made clear.

The Yan army fought bravely and had extremely strong military quality, and the Jingnan Army was the best in it, but the problem was that the military discipline of the Yan army after the victory, looting, burning, and killing were also very powerful.

Of course, there is no army in the world that is not like this, Yingdu is burning, but now go in and rob, in fact, you can still scavenge a lot of good things, let the soldiers look at a huge imperial capital and not wreak havoc, it is really extremely cruel, it is easy to cause the resentment of the soldiers, and then cause war-weariness.

This is a big taboo, so you can only draw cakes to quench your thirst.

The generals nodded yes one after another, signaling that they understood, and they would talk to their subordinates when they went back.

The generals present have already departed from the level of low-level taste, because ordinary goods can no longer arouse their great interest, greed for money must be greedy for money, human nature is greedy, but what they value more is the promotion of official titles and titles after being rewarded for meritorious service.

If you are a general, you can be promoted to a guerrilla general, right?

Guerrilla generals, can they be promoted to general soldiers, right?

The chief soldier can be promoted, right?

There have long been rumors in the army that after this war, Uncle Hirano is afraid that he will have to be a marquis, and they don't expect to be a marquis, but if the title is raised, it is enough to inherit the family and continue to be rich for several generations.

Uncle Zheng lifted his own cliff,

Yell;

"Ladies and gentlemen, the prince has already helped us burn Yingdu, now, it's time for us to do something for the prince, we can't let the prince be so tired all the time!

This battle,

We will win,

Jingnan Army,

Win! ”

All the generals drew their swords and raised them high,

Roar:

"Victory!"

………

Liugong Mountain has long been no longer a military fortress.

Hundreds of years ago, the Chu people did use this place as .asxs. and launched a conquest against the Shanyue tribe in the southern territory, but after that, most of the southern territory also fell under the rule of the Chu people, and a few places like Wutong County still had the Shanyue tribe unstable, but in general, the Chu people had encompassed their rule over the entire southern region.

Therefore, Liugong Mountain has become a scenic spot, in winter, Yingdu is relatively cold, some nobles and even the royal family, they like to come to Liugong Mountain to spend the winter.

There are also many natural hot springs that are great for healing.

The regent himself lived in this royal garden.

At this time, he,

Sitting by the pond with a fishing rod in his hand, catching fish.

Sitting next to him were the elderly Meng Shou and the two left and right Situ, the left and right Situ, who were originally positions in the palace, not the main positions of the imperial court.

The news of the fire in Yingdu has reached here.

The regent arranged a group of people, pretending to have escaped from Yingdu, both nobles and commoners, to perform a play at the gate of the royal palace.

The drama is very simple, it is nothing more than crying that the Yan people are wantonly burning, killing and looting in Yingdu, setting fire to the city, it is really a beast act!

The regent was furious, angrily accusing the Yan people of killing his people, and wept bitterly that so many nobles who stayed in the capital died.

forthwith

The edict was issued to Da Chu,

In order to expose the ferocity of the Yan people.

But the real purpose is to tell the Chu people that their Emperor His Majesty was not burned to death in Yingdu, he is still alive, and he can continue to command the military and people of the Chu State to resist the Yan people.

In fact, this is a lie that is destined to be impossible to hide from those who have a heart, because there are so many things that you can't explain that they can't stand scrutiny.

But if there is a heart, he will be silent.

So, the lie can be maintained.

Within a few days, it was reported that the Yan army that had broken through Yingdu did not retreat, but went straight south under the leadership of Pingye Bo, entered Panhe County, and the soldiers pointed directly at Liugong Mountain!

Time

The driving of Liugong Mountain shook up and down.

First, because the news of Yingdu was burned has not yet dissipated,

The second is that Yan Ren is so menacing and has a clear goal, which is really shocking.

Zuo Situ Ding Liang said; "Your Majesty, what General Zhang Jian means is that he wants to try to fight a battle south of Liugong Mountain."

The status of the Zhang family, where Zhang Jian is located, although it is not a pillar country, but compared to the Shi family, it is actually not much worse, and the most important thing is that the Zhang family is the first to be the generals in the imperial forbidden army who are clearly loyal to the regent.

Right Stuart Mullen spoke; "The minister thinks that General Zhang Qian's idea is right, whether it is defending or driving, he has to fight to stabilize the morale of the army."

If you keep running, it's not good, it's easy to run and run, and you will collapse for yourself.

But the regent threw away the fishing rod in his hand,

smiled and pointed to the pond,

Road:

"There are no fry in this pond at all, and no matter how much we fish, we can't catch fish."

Saying,

The regent stood up, and a eunuch brought a copper basin and told the regent to wash his hands.

"Yan Ren wants to withdraw his troops, not really want to fight again.

Yingdu burned, and it burned, burning a lot of things and people that I would be very troublesome to solve;

Right now

Let's keep as much of our family as possible.

In the future, when you clean up the mountains and rivers, you can be cheaper and calmer.

At the foot of Liugong Mountain with the Yan army, no matter what the result is, no matter how hard you fight, it will be of no benefit, just like fishing in this pond.

After winning a game, we still have to make peace;

If we lose, we have to lower our posture when we seek peace;

What's the point?

I said, with the Yan people, let's not fight against the day, ten years later, twenty years later, let's look at him again.

Ding Liang took the order. ”

Ding Liang immediately knelt down:

"The minister is here!"

"For the sake of Qincha, with my will, go to Yan Jun to find my sister-in-law to negotiate peace, the condition is nothing more than that we let Zhennanguan out, Shanggu County, let's let it out.

Anyway, Nian Yao's side can't hold out for long, and I want Nian Yao's army to be taken back with all its tails.

For the rest, you can talk about it casually.

oh

That's right

How to behave in style, how to fight according to reason, how to turn our peace into a swear to fight to the death with the strength of the whole country and Yan Dog to the end until there is only one soldier left in Great Chu, it is best to add another sentence, although Chu has three dead Yan will be Chu and this kind of words;

This made the swallow dog retreat from the clouds.

You can do it yourself. ”

Ding Liang smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, can the Yan people let the ministers do this?" ”

"My sister-in-law knows how to be a man, he knows how to do it, anyway, Yanren has already won, and selling a face to make us look like it is a gesture.

After all, when this battle is over, we still have to be neighbors.

As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors,

What's more,

I and him,

Ben is a relative. ”
