Chapter 60: Old Silver Coins
Liang Cheng is back.
The day of his return was several days later than expected, because he not only brought back the treasures in the Helian family's treasury, but also picked out the two savage villages, and forced the two savage villages to send the sons of their leaders to Shengle City to meet the lord of the castle to show his submission.
Perhaps, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty first asked Huo Qubing to go out with the army, he was actually a little unsteady in his heart;
And Zheng Fan is a hundred relieved that Liang Cheng led the army to the expedition.
Genius generals need to rely on an army to be the touchstone and gamble, and Liang Cheng, a veteran general among generals, really doesn't need to worry too much.
When the troops returned to the city, Zheng Fan personally went out of the city to greet them.
In the drama of kneeling and supporting,
Liang Cheng has advanced.
It's abrupt, but it's so deserved.
So when the demon kings dined together in the evening, the pressure suddenly came to Xue San and the blind man.
Everyone is pursuing progress, the two of them are undoubtedly dragging their feet, and even Fan Li has advanced, what reason do you have to explain and excuse yourself?
Ah Ming is not here, and yesterday, Ah Ming had already led a convoy to Yanjing.
After the dinner was over, the rest of the people went down to work, while Zheng Fan and Liang Cheng sat facing each other.
"This is the news from the past few days and the order of Litian City."
After getting accustomed to the office style and efficiency of later generations, in many cases, the written record and transmission are indeed much clearer and more accurate than the oral one.
After Liang Cheng read it carefully, he nodded and said:
"The lord's speculation is right, it should be that Yan Guo plans to use troops against the savages."
"So sure?"
Zheng Fan was used to being used as a smoke bomb,
As early as he started in the Minfu camp, he was used as bait;
Going south to Qianguo was also the same fate, for which Li Bao, the commander-in-chief of the Zhenbei Army, also lost an arm.
Zheng Fan felt that he could change his name to Xu Huang, because he was always treated as that shot.
"Lord, the army goes on an expedition, there are a lot of things that need to be raised, according to some information we have now, there are no large-scale war preparations in Yan Kingdom, so the scale of this battle is definitely not large, according to the speculation of his subordinates, Jingnanhou may be responsible alone.
In other words, this is not a national war, but a military operation for which a military district is responsible.
After the Jingnan Army went through the battle of attacking Jin, the Marquis of Jingnan entered Litian City, and the Jingnan Army was expanded, but now it is necessary to suppress the new land of soldiers and horses, and secondly, the entry of new soldiers will inevitably lead to a decline in the original overall combat strength, so the subordinates estimate that this time the troops are likely to be led by the Marquis of Jingnan, and the soldiers and horses should only be about 30,000 to 50,000.
And considering that the road in the Tianduan Mountain Range is difficult to walk, the environment on the snow field is even worse, and the supply of the army is difficult, if you really take that road, instead of borrowing the road from Chengguo, the size of the army may be 30,000. β
"Can't you go south from the Jin Kingdom?"
"To the south of the Jin Kingdom, in the area blocked by the South Gate Pass, there are many small countries, which seem to be miscellaneous, but in fact, they want to swallow it in one bite, unless hundreds of thousands of troops press the border, it is easy to eat a bad stomach;
Moreover, although the state of Chu is said to be in internal strife, if it puts too much pressure on the state of Chu, it is helping the state of Chu to re-twist into a rope, which is not a cost-effective deal. β
The small countries at the junction of the big countries in that circle are actually buffer zones left by the big countries by default.
"This time to send troops, it is definitely not that Tian Wujing is idle and bored alone, and wants to go to the snow field to run horses, so, what is Emperor Yan's plan?"
In Zheng Fan's cognition, that kind of internationalist aid, especially military intervention, has been a very thankless task for a long period of time.
Liang Cheng seemed to have guessed Zheng Fan's thoughts, and said:
"Lord, the Situ family is not a remote state, in fact, he occupies half of the Jin Kingdom, and his strength is really not to be underestimated.
Earlier, the Situ family's army went to the northeast to defend against the savages, and completely emptied their backs to the Yan people.
His subordinates speculated that Emperor Yan might want to use this move to form a fact that does not exist on paper, that is, Chengguo, lower than Yan Guo, with his own mind and courage, as well as the actual actions of the Yan army, let the Situ family owe a great favor.
There are many ways to deal with the enemy, and if you can make this opponent not attack you for twenty years, then he is basically not a threat, and you can save a lot of energy to focus on the other side. β
"Don't you feel naΓ―ve?" Zheng Fan asked.
Placing the relationship between countries on friendship and friendship?
In later generations, how many countries used to call the two brothers good brothers, and then turned into hating and killing each other, there are not too many examples.
"This kind of relationship, of course, is not reliable, but once this move is successful, it can provide a good reason for Chengguo to give the conservatives in Situ's family."
"This effect?"
"The effect of this move is still in the country of Yan, which has been pressing Chengguo, this is the fundamental."
"Oh, I see."
"Moreover, Yan Guo's move, what he used may be Jingnanhou and 30,000 soldiers and horses, to put it mildly, even if it is .........."
"Shut up!"
"........." Liang Cheng.
"Okay, I know what you mean, you're trying to say that it doesn't cost much anyway, right?"
"Yes."
"Alright, I see."
"That subordinate will lead the army into the mountain again tomorrow, and clear a road first, what Jingnanhou means should be that when he leads the army through the Tianduan Mountain Range into the snowfield, not only will he be discovered by the savages and deliver the news to the savages in the northeast snowfield in advance."
"Thank you for your hard work."
"Lord, this time my subordinates plan to keep the 1,000 Jingnan troops to guard their homes, and take the rest of the men and horses out."
"Okay, you just have to make up your own mind, and you should use battle to train."
"Yes, my subordinates understand."
Not long after Liang Cheng left, Xue San came in, still holding a large box in his hand.
"Lord, come, come into the house."
"Huh?"
"Lord, come, come in, come in~"
Xue San took the box into the room first.
After Zheng Fan entered, Xue San closed the door suspiciously.
"What's in the box?"
Zheng Fan pointed to the box and asked.
Liang Cheng led the troops to advance when he came back, and then he had to lead the troops into the mountain immediately, as if he would do a handover of goods and goods and upgrade by the way when he came back.
Zheng Fan also knew that Xue San must be extremely anxious in his heart now.
"Lord, come, you see, these days, during the day I am training those fifty second goods, and at night I am polishing these things, this is a piece of my filial piety, and please Lord smile."
As he spoke, Xue San opened the box,
Zheng Fan was stunned,
Xue San took out the brand-new things inside one by one as if offering a treasure:
"Lord, these are handcuffs."
"Lord, you see, this is a rope of tendon and skin, and it will never wear out the skin."
"Lord, this is a leather whip made of wolf skin bought from a trading house, this is a barbed model, I also made a barbed model here, oh, there is also a gold sore medicine I made myself."
"Lord, this is the mask."
"That's right, my lord, this is a mouth ball, I have sterilized it, you can remember to disinfect it yourself after you use it in the future."
"Ah, and also, it's the main event, it's my ............"
β¦β¦β¦
So, life is like this, when you find that the road in front of you is not working, you may as well change your thinking.
In addition, there are so many successful samples in front of you, and you can always find some patterns by making inductive summaries.
Xue San felt that he had found a way and succeeded, and when his aura skyrocketed, the depths of his whole heart were filled with satisfaction.
The psychological pressure that made people breathless was suddenly removed, the sun became brighter, and the air became fresher.
Originally, Xue San planned to go to the blind man's roof again at night to listen to the movement.
Didn't the blind man say last time that he wouldn't let himself go if he went again?
Come on
Who is afraid of whom,
Bibi!
But Xue San didn't go in the end, in fact, the last time he went to find the blind man, just to see if the blind man had advanced, he didn't plan to really listen to the corner, the blind man still understands the truth that friends and wives can't be bullied, and he won't do such a tasteless thing.
As for coming out of the blind man and going to the roof of the Lord, it was a sign of uncontrollable distraction, and he actually forgot that when the Lord Danfan and Siniang were doing needlework, they would throw the magic pill out of the window!
Patience, patience,
Be reserved, reserved;
So Xue Sanyi didn't sleep at night,
When everyone gathered to have breakfast together the next day, and it was also to see Liang Cheng off again by leading the army into the mountain again, Xue San walked over with the steps that his six relatives did not recognize.
The blind man sat there and drank porridge, taking small sips and drinking slowly, the lord and Siniang had not yet come, Fan Li and Liang Cheng were sitting there and eating breakfast.
Xue San deliberately sat beside the blind man, and when he sat down, a shadow began to spread out from his body, gradually wrapping the blind man's arm.
The blind man stopped drinking porridge,
Xue San said busily:
"Oops, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've just been promoted, and I can't control my strength attributes, oops, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
When the blind man heard this, he was not necessarily angry, but just smiled and continued to drink porridge.
feign
You pretend to be Lao Tzu,
You're now one of the whole shift, really crane the tail,
You must be very unhappy in your heart, you must be angry, you must be ashamed, you must be very restless, pretend, pretend!
Xue San picked up the chopsticks,
Road:
"The big guys should all be advanced, let's celebrate, hehehe."
As he spoke, he continued to look at the blind man out of the corner of his eye, but found that the blind man continued to drink porridge with peace of mind, as if he had transcended the object.
At this time, Zheng Fan and Siniang came over to dine together, except for Ah Ming, everyone sat together again.
Xue San has been eating steamed buns with a smile, just like the figure of a blind man, fragrant, so fragrant!
Zheng Fan didn't notice at first,
After discovering that Xue San had been watching the blind man, Zheng Fan reacted that among the seven demon kings, only the blind man was left without promotion.
Everyone was promoted, but the blind man was not promoted, and the blind man's contribution and hard work are definitely second to none among the many demon kings.
Then
The blind man drank a bowl of porridge,
Facing Xue San with some surprise, he said:
"San'er, have you advanced?"
Xue San was stunned for a moment,
"Huh?"
"Congratulations, I really envy you, congratulations."
"What?"
The blind man faced Zheng Fan again and said:
"Lord, I still have something to deal with there, Ah Cheng, you pay attention to safety, Lord, I'll go and do things first."
The blind man gets up,
Turn around
hunchback,
sideburns with slightly gray hair,
ink stains on the cuffs,
Cloth shoes under your feet,
Frame after frame,
Time
The guilt in Zheng Fan's heart became more and more intense.
And in the next moment,
The blind man straightened his back suddenly, and his breath also increased dramatically at this time!
"............" Xue San!
