Chapter 167: Dowry
"Woo woo woo woo !!!!!!"
The long sound of the horn sounded, echoing in the vast snowfield.
North of Snow Customs,
simultaneously
It is a group of savages, the heads of all tribes,
simultaneously
It was General Zheng on horseback.
Behind both sides, there were more than a thousand cavalry arrays.
It's just that there is no tension between the two sides.
It seems that it was not them who killed corpses all over the south city of Xuehaiguan not long ago;
Of course
It's really not them.
"Woo woo woo woo !!!!!!!!"
The second round of trumpets sounded,
A group of savages dressed in characteristic animal skins and specially rubbed with paint and feathers came out of the military formation and began to sing and dance.
It is a ritual of the savages and is usually seen around the campfires of large events.
After dancing for a while, they started singing again.
General Zheng still had to pretend to have a very nice and very nice expression that I admired, and from time to time he had to bow his head slightly and smile a little.
It's out of respect.
Of course
Respect sometimes there is a neighbor, it is called perfunctory.
To be honest, General Zheng really can't appreciate these original performances.
In my previous life, I have also collected wind everywhere, visited many scenic spots, and enjoyed many local characteristic folk performances;
On the left side of these performances, there is usually a "endangered" hanging; On the right, there will be a "Save".
In fact, putting aside self-absorption and hypnosis and purely and seriously appreciating it with your own popular aesthetic,
You will find that
oh
No wonder they're endangered.
Just like the scene in front of you.
This is really not some kind of discrimination against this era,
General Zheng believes,
If I were in the south of the Qianguo River now, watching the Oiran dancers dancing in front of me, I would definitely appreciate it very much.
It's uncomfortable to spend money, there's no smell of it, what are the two poems in my head, and let the Oiran recommend the pillow seat, that's called the real fun.
Comparatively,
Watching this group of shirtless savages singing and dancing in the snow is really a little spicy.
The eldest prince sat in the middle, and beside the eldest prince, there were seven savage women.
These are all those who have served the eldest prince, and maybe, some of them are pregnant, and these women naturally have to accompany the eldest prince back.
The Heavenly Family attaches great importance to the continuation of the bloodline, in fact, not only the Heavenly Family, even if it is an ordinary rich family, but if they feel that their wealth and status are higher than ordinary people, they will also imperceptibly feel better than their own "bloodline".
meantime
In the eyes of the leaders of the savage tribes,
this
In fact, it is a symbol of the friendship between the snow savages and the big swallows!
And the carrier of this symbol is the great prince!
The savage heads don't think there is anything "humiliating the country", because they don't have the concept of "country" themselves, although the previous Jin people, Yan people, Chu people, etc., all refer to them as "wild people", but in fact, they are just a group of wolves, holy clans and stars, just an extremely general concept, in essence, it is still a state of scattered sand.
That is, they do not have any "collective honor".
But it can be seen that the face of the eldest prince is a little gloomy, as the commander of the former Eastern Expeditionary Army, and as the contemporary eldest son of the Ji family, at this moment, sitting in that position, there are seven savage women sitting beside him, like an emotionless sacrificial object;
At this time, his face can be good-looking, and that is really a ghost.
But no matter what, anything, either not to do it, to do it, has to have a beginning and an end.
Especially after Xue San told the eldest prince that the Marquis of Jingnan did not plan to go north to the snowfield for the time being, the eldest prince had no choice.
Even if it was for the short time of peace between the Snow Customs and the Snow Field, even if he knew that the guy surnamed Zheng in front of him would definitely not care about the covenant made by the stars, as long as he packed up the Snow Customs and dealt with the important matters at hand, after freeing his hands, he would inevitably attack the Snow Field;
He has no borders, and he must come to serve as a foil for this meaningless "alliance" ceremony.
The sacrifice on the savage's side is finally over;
General Zheng was not stingy, and sent Fan Li to lead dozens of soldiers who had been trained all night in the assault, and walked to the center, accompanied by the sound of gongs and drums.
Dozens of men, under the leadership of Fan Li,
took out two ribbons from his pocket and began to twist the big Yangge.
The savages are somewhat familiar with the folk customs of Jindi, because in addition to the two years of war, many times before, there was no lack of communication.
But for the "characteristic folk customs" of the Yan people, they still expressed great shock.
Fan Li twisted very happily and standardly, and the dozens of men behind him also twisted very hard!
"Gula, this, this is the ......... of the Yan people," one of the leaders asked the leader of another tribe beside him.
"This should be the Yan people, the ritual of sacrificing to the gods."
"Oh, I see, it seems, it's really mysterious."
"yes."
When the other savage heads around heard this, they all nodded with a look on their faces.
Only the Great Prince,
After seeing this scene,
The corners of his mouth began to twitch uncontrollably.
In fact, it was not that General Zheng deliberately perfunctory, but because in the Shengle army, the Jin people accounted for the majority, followed by the barbarians, and then the Yan people.
But after asking all the few Yan people, I found that no one understood the process of the Yan people's sacrifice, and the blind man was not here.
General Zheng didn't bother to toss around, so he decisively dispatched Fan Li.
Pure when it is,
Yanye's characteristic cultural friendship and exchange party is here.
When the big Yangge is twisted, the prelude to the ceremony between the two sides will be over.
Next
General Zheng took the initiative to ride his horse forward,
The leaders dismounted and walked forward.
The eldest prince stood up, knelt down on one knee in front of Zheng Fan, and saluted.
It is true that he is a prince, but he has been demoted to a lieutenant colonel by the Marquis of Jingnan, so he naturally has to salute according to the rules of the army.
This is actually one of the personal charms of the eldest prince, he pays attention to the rules.
This scene directly surprised the group of savage heads, and even the prince needed to kneel to the young general in front of him, it seems that the power of this young general is really terrifying.
Because of this, these wild heads also quickly knelt down in front of General Zheng who was riding on his horse.
General Zheng is still only General Sheng Le, and he has not come down from the position of chief soldier, and he doesn't know whether he will be awarded any title, but this does not prevent him from accepting a group of "princes and generals" from bowing down at this time.
These leaders are not stupid, the canonization of the previous eldest prince is naturally impossible to take out the score against the Yan people at this time.
They also understand the truth that people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat.
The army of more than 100,000 savages led by the Savage King was buried in Jindi, and the snow field at this time was in an absolutely empty and extremely turbulent environment, and what they wanted was to immediately stop fighting with the Yan people, and then go to pacify the snow field.
Among them, it is inevitable to devour a wave of development.
It can be said that the entire snow field is actually a Gu farm, and it is the norm for big fish to eat small fish and small fish to eat dried shrimp, and those tribes who previously followed the Savage King to respond to the call to send tribal warriors are at this time when they are weak, and they are really sorry for themselves if they don't take advantage of the fire to rob them, aren't they?
On the other hand, on General Zheng's side, Shengle's soldiers and civilians have not yet come, and they are not able to send troops at all, and they also need time to settle down.
in a word
The mountains do not turn to the water,
Today,
Let's sing a harmonious drama together,
Tomorrow
Then continue the greetings with real knives and guns.
General Zheng turned over and dismounted, and came to a large wine vat.
Reaching out, he took a dagger from the hand of the armorer next to him.
alas
Damn it.
"Rub!"
After slitting his palm, General Zheng dripped his own blood into it.
forthwith
One after another came up and slit their palms, dripping blood into the drink.
In the end,
Someone came and poured the drink.
General Zheng took the crimson wine bowl and immediately felt nauseous.
Usually, I don't think it's anything to see Ah Ming drinking this thing with wine every day, but now it's his turn to drink, and I don't want to do it in my heart.
God knows if there will be any disease in this group of savage brothers in front of him.
But
General Zheng immediately took the lead in picking up the wine bowl and overhead.
A kind of wild head did the same.
"For the peace of my Dayan and the Snow Plain, for the sake of the peace between the two sides, I did it!"
After speaking,
General Zheng put the wine bowl to his mouth, swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva in a row to move his throat a few times, and then let the wine drip down his jaw in a dashing manner, pretending to be very heroic.
Then, with lightning speed, he threw the wine bowl on the ground,
yelled:
"Happy!"
The leaders of the savages did the same, smashing the bowls.
After the ceremony.
The savage heads soon returned, and General Zheng also took back the eldest prince and returned to the Snow Customs.
This ceremony can be regarded as "the joy of the guests and the host".
After entering the city, General Zheng led the eldest prince into his own courtyard.
"Your Highness has worked hard." General Zheng said while taking the hot towel handed over by Xue San and wiping his neck.
"Is General Zheng making fun of me?"
"How dare you."
Zheng Fan threw the towel to Xue San, sat down on the chair next to him, and pointed to the chair opposite, motioning for the eldest prince to sit down as well.
The eldest prince arched his hand to Zheng Fan and sat down.
"In this battle, Your Highness, you have also made great contributions, and our fate will be soon."
After all, the prince is the prince, and the seven sons of Emperor Yan, pinch their fingers and calculate, in fact, there are only a few who can use it.
The third child was abolished by himself, and it is estimated that he is still enjoying the snow in the Lake Pavilion;
The seventh is still young, the fourth and fifth don't know why, they have been pressed, and they have not been released to do things, and with the death of the head of the Deng family in Wangjiang, the fourth child is equivalent to being cut off the largest arm.
As for the sixth, it's a "mallet".
Put yourself in your shoes, if you were Emperor Yan, you wouldn't give up your eldest son like this.
"Borderless is just atonement."
"Your Highness is serious."
Hakka came over and served hot tea.
Zheng Fan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and slowly put it down, saying:
"In this world, there are no people who can always be smooth sailing, but there are really very few, comparable to rare, although I have no relationship with His Royal Highness at the beginning, but to put it bluntly, His Royal Highness's character and temperament really make me admire.
I, Dayan, am at the time of pioneering, and I hope that Your Highness will not be decadent, and in the future, you and I will finally have the opportunity to join hands to attack the outside world again. ”
The tone of these words is actually completely putting himself on the same level as the eldest prince, which seems a little rude, but after all, they are all in the military, and speaking like this is more sincere.
General Zheng has always liked to make friends with honest people, and this eldest prince, to a certain extent, also has some kind of attribute of an honest person, at least, he has a bottom line.
Ji Wujiang smiled and said:
"It's thanks to General Zheng that he can afford to see no bounds."
"If you have offended in the past, I hope to bear with it."
This is to end the last time the eldest prince was the commander of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, he sent someone to the eldest prince to ask for money and food.
"It's all gone." The eldest prince sighed, and then said, "I have to be here to congratulate General Zheng on his upcoming appointment as the chief soldier of the Snow Customs." ”
It's not that the prince is clever, but after entering the city, he found that there were armor soldiers urging those savage prisoners of war to build the city defenses.
There is a reason why county officials generally don't repair the county government, anyway, they have to be transferred after a few years, so why bother with this effort;
Therefore, if General Zheng didn't want to stay at the Snow Customs for a long time, he would not be in a hurry to repair the city wall at this time.
"It's a possibility." Zheng Fan didn't deny it.
"There is General Zheng stationed at the Snow Customs, and Wujiang is relieved, this is Wujiang, and he is heartfelt."
A wild rebellion caused the entire Chengguo to suffer a huge poison.
Now, since the land of the Three Jin Dynasty has been returned to Yan, the people of Jin, that is, the people of Yan, standing in the position of the eldest prince, naturally hope that there will be a truly reliable general to guard the snow field.
Counting and counting, there is really only Zheng Fan who can be trustworthy at the moment.
meantime
The eldest prince also knows that according to the distance from Yanjing here, the will of the appointment must not have come down yet, so who can guarantee and make a decision for this matter in advance?
Only Jingnanhou.
If the Marquis of Jingnan wants to promote Zheng Fan as the chief soldier of the Snow Customs, then the imperial court, including his father's side, is basically impossible to oppose.
To say a word of heart,
Now
Who would dare to object?
Hearing this, Zheng Fan suddenly thought of what the Sword Master said to him a few days ago:
You are so lacking in morality, I will be relieved that the snow customs will be handed over to you.
Between the two, there was a sudden silence.
The eldest prince was the first to break the silence and spoke:
"After Wujiang returns to Yanjing this time, he should get married soon."
Being able to talk about your marriage in front of others is actually a kind of recognition that people treat you as a friend.
It's just that the wedding of the eldest prince is a political marriage.
The first defeat of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, no matter what, he has to take responsibility, and after he goes back, he will inevitably be punished, and he will be suppressed and made a show for outsiders, which is inevitable.
Then, it is to give full play to the rest of the heat, and marry the daughter of the barbarian king as the son of the contemporary Ji family.
This also means that the eldest prince has completely lost the possibility of inheriting the great treasure, and he has been expelled from the game on the road to succession more completely than the younger sixth son.
Because, the competition of other princes is all the housework of the Ji family.
But if the prince who married the daughter of the barbarian tribe tried to get his hands on the throne of Dayan, then he would inevitably be attacked by the entire Dayan from all strata.
Hundreds of years of blood feud,
How could the Yan people allow their future mother of the country to be a barbarian?
meantime
How could it be possible to allow the next generation of their own emperors to have barbarian blood flowing in them?
You can feel that the eldest prince's heart is depressed at this time.
If you say that today he is only acting as an artifact for a short time to form an alliance between the snow field and the snow customs;
Then, after the wedding, he will be put on a long-term balance pole between the barbarians and the Yanren.
It's not the worst,
The worst thing is that
I can't say that in the future, Dayan and the barbarians will fight again,
When the time comes,
How should the eldest prince deal with himself?
Even if he thinks that he is a Yan person, he is still a member of the Ji family, but the imperial court can no longer let his army lead the army to deal with the barbarians.
Even, the eldest prince will not even have many opportunities to lead troops in the future, and there will not be many opportunities to grasp real power.
God knows if he will come to the inside and outside to lead the barbarian soldiers into Yan?
Situ Yi and Situ Jiong's lessons from the past are in front of them, and Yan Ren will not allow the possibility of making this mistake.
"When the date of His Highness's wedding is set, I will definitely send someone to send a congratulatory gift."
"Thank you, General Zheng."
"Your Highness is gracious."
The eldest prince leaned back in the chair, and the whole person seemed to relax.
Zheng Fan also leaned in, and also relaxed.
Together, the two of them gestured with their bodies to show that the previous heavy topic was over and that they were about to enter a new chapter.
"General Zheng and my sixth brother have a good relationship?"
"I won't hide it from you, my family background at the beginning was still purchased with the help of His Royal Highness the Sixth."
There is no little six sons who desperately continue to "milk" in the rear,
It is impossible for his own Cuiliu Fort to be built so quickly, nor can it raise thousands of elite cavalry, and it is impossible to support the continuous strategic adventures in the early stage.
In comparison, the snowball generally gets bigger and bigger, but it is not as difficult as the beginning of the business.
"The sixth brother is the smartest one among our brothers, and at the beginning, my father actually loved the sixth brother the most."
This topic has already involved the privacy of the heavenly family.
But General Zheng only felt full of interest and a little excited.
"It's just that over the years, my father has suppressed the sixth brother too heavily, but I think the sixth brother hasn't lost yet."
Nima,
Lao Tzu just wants to listen to some lace news, you come up and give Lao Tzu such a hot thing?
Any warlord is very cautious until he really rises and becomes powerful.
Emperor Yan reigned,
There is a Tian Wujing above him,
In this situation,
General Zheng did not think that he had any qualifications to participate in the battle for succession.
The battle for succession, throughout the ages, is the biggest gambling game in the world, if you win, you can soar into the sky, a sentence of "from the dragon's work", better than everything;
But the stakes are your family's life.
It is said that barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes, the problem is that the boots on General Zheng's feet now are quite good-looking and warm, and he really can't take off his boots and run impatiently to run in the sunset with Xiao Liuzi.
The eldest prince was observing Zheng Fan's expression, and when he saw that Zheng Fan didn't answer, he smiled and said:
"It's borderless."
"The eldest prince is serious, it's just someone Zheng, it's just a slightly older Qiu Ba, in the face of this kind of thing, someone Zheng really hasn't thought about it, and he doesn't dare to think about it."
"Why can't you, why don't you dare?"
Your General Zheng's subordinates can carve so many big seals with big radishes overnight, and you are pretending to be pure and virtuous with me now?
"Huh."
Zheng Fan smiled a little shyly, he really couldn't figure out what was wrong with this big prince today.
Is it stimulated? So you're starting to let yourself go a bit?
The eldest prince immediately stood up, Zheng Fan did not move, and continued to lean back in his chair.
"General Zheng, the Eastern Expeditionary Army has fought two wars, one defeated and one won, the one that was defeated, suffered heavy casualties, and this time it won, the casualties will never be small."
This is a natural thing, the time of defeat, the main force of the Left Route Army was lost.
This time, the Marquis of Jingnan was the main force of the elite of Zhenbei and Jingnan to rush the savages, and won a big victory;
It's not a pyrrhic victory, but its own casualties are certainly not a few.
Zheng Fan's face also began to become serious, and his back stood slightly from the chair.
In his previous life, although he opened a comic studio, he still couldn't get rid of the attributes of otaku after all;
In this life, I have always been torn between big people, until I am about to become a big person, and then I began to slowly understand this conversation style and habits.
Originally
What the eldest prince said before is a kind of foreshadowing, and the real highlight is only now beginting.
Thinking of this, General Zheng couldn't help but laugh at himself a little in his heart, he thought that he was an honest person before, alas, in the end, it was the seed of Emperor Yan, where could it be simple?
"The losses of the Zhenbei Army and the Jingnan Army are bound to be not small, which is also the fundamental reason why the Marquis of Jingnan has no intention of going north to the snow field in a short period of time."
In Yupan City, there are still tens of thousands of Chu troops locked, but to be honest, the Northern Expedition to the Snow Field, Zheng Fan estimated that forty or fifty thousand iron horsemen would be enough.
Snow Field is now not only greatly injured, but also extremely empty, a wave of up, not to kill it, but to stab it again, put some blood on it, and at the same time, snatch back a batch of people and goods that were previously plundered by the wild people, it is really not difficult.
But although it is not difficult, Yan Jun is now unable to do it.
"The territory of Dayan, in less than three years, has more than a complete land of the Three Jins, such a large piece of territory, how many soldiers and horses are needed to garrison, so many more borders, so many passes, and how many soldiers and horses are needed to defend."
It is also a sin to develop the territory too fast, just like the brand of later generations to open chain stores and blindly expand, which eventually leads to the fact that the heritage cannot keep up, and there will always be a mess of losses, and all the plates will be lost.
"The descendants of the Zhenbei Army and the Jingnan Army must be the best choice for replenishing troops after the war, General Zheng will not deny this, right?"
Zheng Fan nodded.
In any case, the two ace field armies will inevitably give priority to replenishing troops.
"But here's the problem, the original Left Route Army, although mostly local military leaders, but after a big war, they often become the object of digestion.
It is indeed inappropriate to say these words from the standpoint of boundlessness, but it is indeed heartfelt words. ”
After stepping on the gate valve, the local army leader was a major unstable factor, so there was a previous incident that Emperor Yan sent the great prince to gather the local army leader to go on the expedition.
Originally, these local army leaders and their soldiers and horses should have been the best supplementary troops, but now, because of the fiasco of the first battle of Wangjiang, the supplementary troops have actually suffered heavy losses.
This will lead to a very embarrassing problem, your reserves, can't keep up.
After repeated battles, the soldiers are tired, it is really not just about fatigue, the old pawns are constantly dying in battle, the new pawns are constantly on top, and the whole plate is actually constantly being diluted.
"Your Highness, please speak up if you have something to say."
Zheng Fan said.
"General Zheng, even if your Shengle army is all migrated, the snow customs are so big, and the snow field is so vast, do you think your soldiers and horses are enough?"
"It's not enough."
"That's it, and the snow customs south of a hundred miles of radius, because of the barbarians looting, has become a no-man's land, General Zheng in my Dayan army, known for being good at commanding the Jin army, I Dayan many generals, under the command of the Jin army, only you, General Zheng.
But now, where should General Zheng replenish his troops? ”
Replenishing troops is indeed a difficult problem.
First of all, it is difficult to assign high-quality soldiers to you, because people's own real descendants are not enough.
In the first battle of Xuehaiguan, the Shengle Army brought out by himself suffered a lot of losses, but compared with the Jingnan Army Zhenbei Army that charged and fought on the frontal battlefield, this casualty ratio is really not large, so it must be politically correct to give priority to supplementing them.
The most infuriating thing is that in a short period of time, even if you want to catch the strong man, it is not easy to catch it, because within your jurisdiction, there is a large no-man's land, the people are gone, the village is empty, how can you catch the strong man?
As for the more than 20,000 savage captives, they could only be used as laborers, and it was impossible for them to be absorbed into the army.
If you are stationed in Jindi and use the savage army, you will only let yourself and the basic plate where you are in a violent conflict, and besides, you yourself are on guard against the snow field, if you wantonly absorb the savages into your army, won't this snow customs be penetrated into a sieve every minute?
In the future, after the development of his main army, he can form a savage servant army, which can be used as cannon fodder when attacking the Qianguo or Chu State.
However, this order must not be reversed.
"Your Highness, what do you teach me?"
"General Zheng's words are serious, what Wujiang means is that when the barbarian king married his daughter to Wujiang, he promised Wujiang that he would promise a dowry."
A dowry?
Zheng Fan's breathing involuntarily intensified.
Because he quickly grasped the meaning,
Brute!
The barbarian is good, General Zheng's capital to make a fortune is a barbarian, and after the blind man's experiment, it was found that the brainwashing effect of the barbarian soldier is the best.
And they themselves are natural cavalrymen, easy to use!
After getting them, you only need to equip them with good war horses and excellent armor, and with a little integration, they are elite!
"Dowry, borderless is wanted." The eldest prince stared at Zheng Fan and said word by word: "But absorbing the barbarian tribes into Yan is an extremely tricky matter for my Dayan, because Beifeng County is absolutely not allowed to be infiltrated by barbarians." ”
For a long time, Yan State has actually accepted many small barbarian tribes to take refuge, but the size of Beifeng County is there, and because of its special geographical location, it will also face a similar problem as Zheng Fan encountered before, that is, my Zhenbei Army was originally here to defend against barbarians, and if I get so many barbarians here, how can I defend it?
Therefore, when he was in Cuiliu Fort, Zheng Fan was able to get the barbarian soldiers sent by Xu Fatpang through the back door, and the imperial court wanted to absorb them, but they would never be placed in Beifeng County, but sent to other areas of the empire, and cut off their connection with the desert by the length of distance.
Zheng Fan stood up,
Looking at the great prince,
Road:
"What does Your Highness mean that you want to put this dowry in my Snow Customs?"
"Barbarian, do you like General Zheng?"
"I like it." Zheng Fan nodded, and then, feeling that his emotions were not enough, he added: "I like it very much." ”
This is not a red envelope given to you by relatives during the Chinese New Year, no matter how honest you are, you still have to keep saying "don't, don't".
If you get another brute army as the foundation, plus the chassis of the original Shengle Army, and take some more time to rest this snow customs up and down, and the people's livelihood is also laid out in place,
General Zheng will soon be able to let the savage brothers who have just joined the blood alliance today see "why are the flowers so red"!
In the past, in Cuiliubao, it was the early stage of entrepreneurship, survived the beginning, successfully emerged, and after being appreciated by Jingnanhou, it was smooth sailing.
But right now,
Isn't it a new round of entrepreneurship,
The sooner you stabilize the basic market of the Snow Customs, and start to invade and expand as soon as possible, your dream of a feudal town will be realized sooner rather than later.
This urgency, for ordinary people, is incomprehensible.
"The barbarian king is old, and the royal court also needs to arrange the affairs of the heir, so in the last Three Kingdoms War, the barbarian king chose to watch the fire from the other side;
In this, of course, there is a reason for my father's edict, but the barbarian king himself knows that even if there is a real war, once the succession issue of the royal court is not resolved, even if the barbarian army successfully enters the territory of my Yan country, it will not be of any benefit after all.
In this marriage, the barbarian king will inevitably keep his promise, he needs a long period of peace to arrange his posthumous affairs, originally, the person in charge of this matter should be Sha Tuo Que Shi.
The barbarian king trusted the king of Zuogu Li very much, because he was a square person, but Shatuo Que Shi died outside the town of Beihou Mansion in battle, so that the previous arrangement of the barbarian king was finally abandoned.
For my Dayan, for my father, what I want is actually the flowers and rivers of the Qianguo, compared to the barrenness of the desert, it is the real long-cherished wish to unify the homeland of Zhuxia.
If the two sides can avoid war in recent years, then it is better not to go to war. ”
Speaking of this, the eldest prince paused, pointed to his feet, and said:
"The placement of that dowry is a big problem in itself, but for you, General Zheng, this is indeed the biggest advantage; Beifeng County is the westernmost part of Dayan, and Xuehaiguan is the easternmost part of my Dayan's current territory.
Placing the barbarians here, far from the desert, can limit the possibility of this barbarian army echoing the desert chaos to the greatest extent, and at the same time, there is a fundamental difference between the barbarians and the savages, they will not collude with the savages.
At this point, Wujiang asked the Jin Shuke under General Zheng, and they looked down on savages very much. ”
Zheng Fan breathed a long sigh of relief,
Spit out four words:
"Raze to raze."
When the eldest prince heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, and he couldn't help but admire:
"Incisive."
Followed by
The eldest prince said again:
"Just these four words can be worth thousands of words, as long as these four words are said in the court, this dowry must be General Zheng."
Raze to raze,
Whether it is from the perspective of "aesthetics", or from the perspective of the national policy of Dayan, or from the perspective of the emperor and courtiers feeling good about themselves, it can be said that they have scratched their itches.
Qianguo, not barbarians;
The state of Chu is not a barbarian;
In the official propaganda of Yan Kingdom, everyone is a Zhuxia brother, and they were all ordered by Da Xia Zi to expand the territory back then, so in essence, they are a family.
This propaganda tone played a huge role in the process of Dayan's annexation of the land of the Three Jin Dynasty.
You see, the savages are our common enemy, and we, aside from the estrangement of Yan and Jin, are actually essentially one family eight hundred years ago.
The antagonism of nationalities has been reduced to the replacement of dynasties, which can greatly offset the sense of rejection of the people of the conquered country.
And in the entire Dayan, the only one who can apply the policy of "razing and razing" is really only General Zheng's Snow Customs, and there is no second place!
but
Zheng Fan still asked very solemnly:
"Your Highness, your ......... of this graciousness"
"Could it be that General Zheng thinks that Lone wants to pull you into the water and stand on Lone's side?"
hehe
From "me" to "loneliness".
Zheng Fan smiled.
"Lone, there is no longer any possibility, Lone understands, the world also understands, General Zheng, you actually understand it in your heart."
If the first battle of Wangjiang is not lost, even if he marries a barbarian princess and is deprived of military power, there is still hope of leading troops in the future after all, just like the previous Marquis of Jingnan.
But because you've failed, it's almost impossible to lead the army again.
"General Zheng, what Gu wants is a hope."
"Hope?"
"It's human, it's selfish, what do you think of this sentence, General Zheng?"
"People are not sages, this is nature."
"What Lone asks for is this one hope, because Lone doesn't want to be silent in the palace for the rest of his life, walking dogs and teasing birds, and living that idle life;
The corpses of tens of thousands of children wandering in Wangjiang don't dare to forget it for a lonely day, lonely, and still thinking about atonement!
What Lone wants is that one day, he can wrap his body in horse leather, so that he can return everything that should be returned. ”
Zheng Fan hesitated, what does this have to do with himself?
"If the second child succeeds to the throne, with the character of the second child, Lone, the idle prince, is solid, and Lone will completely lose his thoughts."
Zheng Fan's eyelids twitched.
The eldest prince sighed heavily,
Then subconsciously stretched out his hand,
I want to pat Zheng Fan on the shoulder.
finally
was still assimilated by this atmosphere of patting shoulders in the Sheng Le Army.
palm
slapped Zheng Fan's shoulder,
The eldest prince spoke:
"If the sixth brother succeeds to the throne, Gu feels that he still has hope, even if he continues to be released and only be a captain.
When the time comes, General Zheng will still need to read the friendship of today's dowry and help with good words. ”
Holy,
Why are you more confident than me, the "Six Masters", that Xiao Liuzi can succeed?
Zheng Fan felt so ridiculous, although it was him Zheng Fan who had been rebelling against Xiao Liuzi countless times throughout the day, but he really didn't plan to be determined to help Xiao Liuzi fight for the throne.
Especially now that he is hugging Jing Nanhou's thigh, he also has the opportunity to develop his own climate, so there is no need to do such a dangerous thing.
It's really not good, if Xiao Liuzi is in danger in the future, he can take Xiao Liuzi to settle here like he did with Xiao Houye.
But the eldest prince in front of him has obviously pinned the possibility of the second half of his life on his sixth brother.
By the way, it was also pinned on himself, the first backbone of the "Six Masters Party".
But to be honest, Zheng Fan's loyalty to Xiao Liuzi is really not that high, but others don't see it that way.
Zheng Fan stretched out his hand and put it on the shoulder of the eldest prince.
Two people now,
Put your arm on each other's shoulders.
The eldest prince frowned slightly, and he instinctively felt that this posture was a little unnatural.
"Your Highness, you are joking, if a prince like His Royal Highness who is dedicated to the country is not used, it will be a loss to the court and a loss to Dayan."
"General Zheng has always been funny when he speaks, and when Gu returns to Beijing, he will start to arrange this matter, and he will not let it be delayed."
"Then I'll wait for Your Highness."
The two of them lowered their arms together, and both subconsciously took half a step back.
The eldest prince turned around and prepared to leave, but he only left the other courtyard, and if he wanted to leave the Snow Customs and return to Yanjing, he had to wait for the holy decree to come.
Walking to the gate of the courtyard,
The eldest prince stopped again,
Looking at Zheng Fan,
Road:
"General Zheng, you said, if you were not the first sixth brother you met, but the lonely ......... you met"
"Then why didn't Your Highness ask me about this dowry, will I change my court?"
"Will you?"
Zheng Fan didn't hesitate and shook his head directly.
The eldest prince smiled.
Zheng Fan said again:
"Unless the dowry is doubled."
The smile on the eldest prince's face began to fade gradually, and finally, it became serious, as if after a short period of thought,
Road:
"I can't do it alone."
"Me too."
The eldest prince nodded, stretched out his finger and pointed around, and said:
"General Zheng, believe it or not, in the next few years, I don't know how many generals will envy you, because maybe in the next few years, only you are here, and there will be battles to fight."
"Perhaps, but who told us that this is a natural toil."
After the eldest prince left, Xue San led Jin Shuke into the courtyard.
Jin Shuke knelt down in front of Zheng Fan.
Zheng Fan sat back in the chair,
Nodding at Alchemy,
Road:
"Good work."
For a period of time, Alchemy's performance has been dazzling, and it is no wonder that he can get a recommendation from the Sword Master.
"Being able to serve the general is the greatest blessing in the general's life!"
Zheng Fan leaned forward and looked at Jin Shuke kneeling in front of him,
Whispered:
"What do you think, how is our eldest prince, people?"
Alchemy can be thought about for a while,
He naturally knew what Zheng Fan meant when he asked him, and he could indeed be sloppy.
But he replied directly:
"Back to the general's words, this great prince, in fact, is very powerful."
"Then do you think he is ambitious?"
Alchemy can be heard,
After a moment's hesitation,
Finally raised his head,
Stretched out his hand and pointed to his face,
Road:
"General, do you think your subordinates are ambitious?"
Zheng Fan was silent,
Jin Shuke's face also began to flow into a cold sweat,
Knocked his forehead the floor tiles,
Yell:
"The last will be damned!"
Zheng Fan shook his head,
Road:
"No, you're fine."
forthwith
Zheng Fan said again:
"That is the son-in-law of the barbarian king, has he ever wooed you?"
"Back to the general's words, there is!"
"Why refuse?"
Jin Shuke raised his head, there was obviously a cold sweat on his face, but he showed a sincere smile,
Answered:
"In the desert, if the small tribe wants to survive, it has to go to the big tribe, become the wing of the big tribe, and kill it in front of the big tribe, so that it can be protected by the big tribe, but when it comes to the dangerous moment, these small tribes who are attached to it are often pushed out by the big tribe and sacrificed at will."
"And then?"
"General, my subordinates don't want to be small tribes that are attached to big clans, because here, my subordinates have found their own clan!"
Zheng Fan had a smile on his face,
Reach out your hand,
Jin Shuke, who was kneeling on the ground, immediately moved his knees and took two steps forward, letting Zheng Fan's hand rest on his shoulder.
Zheng Fan patted it gently,
Road:
"Your road is wide."
