"Call brother."

Even in the state of Chu, it was heard that the Marquis of Jingnan attached great importance to Uncle Hirano, and it was rumored that Uncle Pingye was a disciple of the Marquis of Jingnan, who taught him the method of battle formation;

It is even rumored that in the past, under Yupan City, the reason why Jingnanhou ordered the slaughter of 40,000 surrendered Qingluan troops was just to help Pingye Bo break through his heart barrier and help him advance in martial arts.

The former can still be said to have traces to follow;

The latter is a bit too ridiculous.

It's just that the latter said these words from the members of the mission who had accompanied Jingyang to the Yan Kingdom in the past;

He said that on that day, tens of thousands of Qingluan soldiers stained the Wangjiang River with blood, and the corpses were floating, and when he was horrified, he saw Pingye Bo walking against the current along the bank of the Wangjiang River, looking in a trance, as if he was in a state of "enlightenment", and behind him, Jingnanhou followed step by step, clearly protecting the Dharma.

As soon as this statement came out, it was believed that the member of the Chu State delegation had lost his mind on that day, because no matter what, no matter how much he valued, appreciated, and regarded as his own person, it was impossible to really achieve such a state.

When the member of the mission returned home, he was refrigerated, and even the people in his family regarded him as insane.

But right now,

A "call brother",

made the princess suddenly think of that unrealistic rumor,

even

She suddenly wanted to believe it.

This is the barracks in the tent,

But Jing Nanhou directly asked himself to change his name to this, which means that he has long been out of the superior's "heart-to-heart" to his subordinates, and it has also exceeded the cognition of "confidants".

Xiong Liqing put her hands in front of her,

Bow down and bow down,

Crisply screamed:

"Brother."

In the face of the pressure of Jingnanhou, it was very great, Xiong Liqing felt that her tone of voice was already a little trembling in her "brother".

Tian Wujing withdrew his hand and untied a jade pendant from his waist.

Although he was in the army, Tian Wujing was still wearing civilian clothes today, and the set of gilded armor was hung on the side of the handsome tent.

The white robe on his body is embroidered with a majestic dragon, it stands to reason that Tian Wujing is still a marquis, not a prince, wearing this, it is too much, but no one cares about this.

"It's not a good thing, let's keep it first."

Yu Pei was thrown in front of the princess by Tian Wujing, and the princess blinked, turned her head sideways first, and looked at her "husband".

"Take it." Uncle Zheng responded calmly.

On weekdays, Uncle Zheng is used to receiving milk powder money from Hou Ye.

Besides,

shouted "brother", and it is natural for the elders to give a meeting gift.

"Thank you, brother."

The princess accepted the jade pendant.

Jade pendant, it is indeed not a good jade, at least, for Princess Da Chu, there are not many jade in this world that can make her feel precious;

This jade is nothing more than the hem of Jing Nanhou's clothes, purely for decoration, although Jing Nanhou himself said that he was born in the Tian family, but he has never attached importance to these.

however

The value of jade is different from that of gold and silver.

As the saying goes, jade can raise people, but in fact, people are also raising jade;

Gold and silver utensils, melted, still have their own value, but jade is different.

Jade, first, depends on the color of the material, second, and most importantly, depends on who has worn it.

At night

Jingnan Hou stayed for dinner.

Jiang Hu and Gongsun Ling were not qualified to eat in the tent, and they were taken down by the guards to make arrangements.

There are three dishes on the small table, one is pickles, one is broth, and one is a large steamed bun.

The steamed buns produced by the Snow Customs are vegetables.

The three of them all sat on the blankets, Hou Ye and Zheng Fan sat very casually, with a golden knife;

The princess is sitting on her knees.

When Hou Ye picked up a piece of meat, Uncle Zheng and the princess also started.

The two of them took the steamed bun together, Uncle Zheng took a bite, tsk, and finally tasted the taste of home, comfortable.

The princess also took a bite, but was surprised that there was still stuffing in the steamed bun, and the radish shredded meat filling, she didn't feel tired at all when she ate it.

This steamed bun is already a rare delicacy for the two people who came out of the mountains all the way to eat barbecue.

Hou Ye said:

"It's also a coincidence, the supplies just sent by the snow customs a while ago."

The Snow Customs does not have to bear the military expenses of the army here, but according to the tradition of the Snow Customs, during the New Year's holidays, it is impossible to leave behind the human etiquette of some big people who have a good relationship with their own masters.

Zheng Fan nodded, picked up the pickles, and continued to eat the steamed buns.

Hou Ye and Uncle Zheng ate quickly, and the princess looked a little gentle, and after the two men finished eating, the princess also dropped her chopsticks.

Hou Ye looked at the princess and said, "You continue to eat, don't be restrained." ”

"Okay."

The princess obediently picked up another steamed bun.

Hou Ye looked at Zheng Fan and said, "Let's talk about it." ”

The princess was slightly stunned, and talking about these topics in front of her really surprised her, but this also proved from the side that Jing Nanhou regarded her as her own.

Uncle Zheng told Jingnanhou about his experience all the way to Chu.

After listening,

Hou Ye said:

"That poem, you read it to Ben Hou too."

"Angry Hair Rushes to the ........."

Laughing and thirsty for the blood of Yan slaves, the Yan slaves here have been changed to "barbarian slaves".

After hearing these words, Hou Ye nodded, pointed at Zheng Fan and scolded with a smile:

"Poetry to you, but become boring, since ancient times, there are poems everyone looking at the mountain, a heart of the ravine; There is a seaside to watch the sun, lamenting the boundless; There are maple leaves falling, pouring out a thousand sorrows.

The way of poetry is nothing more than borrowing things to express one's feelings, watching its poems, tasting its words, and ignoring the feelings touched by the scenery seen on that day of the year;

Coming to you is nothing more than the way of words at your fingertips, a good and elegant thing, but it is full of craftsmanship in you. ”

Although the Marquis of Jingnan is famous for his personal force and the use of soldiers like a god, his cultural literacy is not low, after all, he is the son of the Tian family.

The song "Man Jianghong" is of course extremely heroic, but Hou Ye knows that this is not Zheng Fan's direct expression.

What kind of character Zheng Fan is, Hou Ye understands, so he said that he was forced to go to Chu this time.

Therefore, without this love and this scene, but being able to write such good words, it can only be said that this is forging poetry in batches as a blade in the foundry.

Uncle Zheng smiled.

"But your eldest brother is very satisfied with this poem?"

The princess spoke at this point; "Yes, the imperial brother has always thought that Xianggong is Mr. Su, and he almost regarded him as a confidant."

Hou Ye nodded and said, "Who knows it's the wolf's ambition." ”

The princess smiled shyly and said, "I don't know what to think, so I think I should go with him, brother, do you think I'm obsessed?" ”

Xiong Lijing obviously let go,

In Jingnanhou let her call her brother to start,

This clever woman began to show her expertise.

Sometimes, there will inevitably be some estrangement between men and men, because in terms of emotional expression, both parties will be more restrained and restrained, but it is women who can make up for this shortcoming.

Moreover, she is the princess of Chu State, not a woman from an ordinary family, and she has a stronger ability to adapt in front of some big scenes.

Tian Wujing said:

"It's good to be obsessed, this kid, even though there are thousands of problems on his body, but there is only one one, whoever treats him sincerely, he will treat others with sincerity, no matter how much you give up on him, don't be reluctant, because you have given it up, and you can get it without asking for it."

"Yes, brother."

"In the evening, Benhou gave His Majesty a fold, Princess Da Chu entered Yan, and I Da Yan Pingye Bo were in love, and Your Majesty and the princes of the court must also be very happy.

But don't worry, Your Majesty is not a stingy person, and he will not canonize you with titles like Princess Guiyi.

Since you have entered the Yan and have chosen people, you should focus on your husband's family. ”

"Yes."

The princess got up slowly and said, "Master Hou, Xianggong, I'll cook tea for you." ”

It was almost time for me to sit down, and it was time to leave room for the two men to talk.

When the princess walked out of the tent,

Tian Wujing's fingers lightly tapped on the small table,

Road:

"How?"

"Back to the Hou Ye's words, the interior of the Chu State is scattered but not chaotic, and there is a regent."

Tian Wujing nodded and said: "The annexation of the Jin land, because the three families have been divided into Jin for a long time, the monarch is not the king, and the minister is not the minister; Qianchu is different, if you want to take Qianchu, you should be stronger than the rapid means of annexing Jindi.

It is not enough to cut meat with a soft knife, it is our own meat that is cut. ”

"Yes, the last general also thinks that when he takes it with the power of thunder, he can not directly annex it, but for example, Qianguo, either not fighting, if he wants to fight, he will completely destroy its three-sided important towns, and for Chu State, it is the same, if he is really determined to fight, his town Nanguan must fight down, and the troops will be scattered in the valley county above Chu."

It's like a wolf hunting, either it's always going around with its prey, and once you see an opportunity, as long as you do it, you have to bite off a piece of meat from your prey.

Protracted grinding, stalemate or attrition is not good for Yan State.

Tian Wujing stood up and said, "Help Ben Hou Jia, let's go to the front for a walk." ”

"Yes, Master Hou."

Zheng Fan helped Jingnanhou put on his armor, and then, Jingnanhou rode his Pixiu in front, and Uncle Zheng rode a horse to follow.

Originally, two cavalry teams planned to follow, but they were signaled by Jingnan Hou to stop.

"A few days ago, Ben Hou took advantage of the rebellion of one of Xue Rang's subordinates to give the defenders of Zhennan Pass a blow, but the general named Nian Yao of the Chu people reacted quickly, and the Chu army immediately took over Zhennan Pass, and did not give Ben Hou a chance to take advantage of the situation to enter the pass."

When he said these words, Tian Wujing's face was very calm, above the battle array, one side was looking for loopholes and waiting for an opportunity to come out, and the other side was waiting to make up for the loopholes and wait for the time to move.

I didn't take advantage of the last opportunity, so I'll wait for the next time.

"Nian Yao is said to be born as a slave of the regent family, Lord Hou, and there are many great nobles in Chudi, which is actually very similar to my Dayan when there were many gate valves."

Tian Wujing raised his hand,

Road:

"It's too early to say this, first, the current situation of the Chu State is indeed the same as that of my Dayan, and it is not enough to forge ahead externally, but if it is in a defensive situation, it will be more tenacious, and those big nobles know that after my Dayan horse steps on the door valve, once he enters Chu, he will not give them such a good life.

Second, if you want to carry out the strategy of division and disintegration, this Zhennan Pass must also be pried open first, if Chengguo was not defeated at the beginning, now Zhennan Pass will not fall into the hands of the Chu people. ”

"But if Chengguo is undefeated, it will be difficult for the last general and the marquis to appear here."

"It's different, Situ Lei still has great ambitions, if he doesn't die early, everything is possible."

Back then,

Situ Lei actually has a tacit understanding with Dayan, that is, Chengguo has become a vassal state of Dayan, and Situ Lei has been demoted from the Son of Heaven to the lord of the country.

If it is really done, then the Yan army will be the soldiers and horses of the same country, all the way from Zhennan Pass to Chu.

"That girl is very smart."

If Jingnanhou wants to say something, then Uncle Zheng naturally has to accompany him to say something.

"Yes, it is precisely because she is smart that I dare to arrest her and then let her go."

"It won't be long before your Pingye Bo's feat will spread all over the world, and you can always surprise Benhou."

"It's all Master Hou, you taught it well."

"Let's strike while the iron is hot, and I will spend another year with you to help Ben Hou gnaw down this town Nanguan."

"Master Hou, it will take two years."

The previous year, it was to survive, and the goal was accomplished.

This year, the theme of the Snow Customs will be development, the opening of various workshops, the road of merchants should be smooth and busy, and the population, military strength, self-sufficiency, all aspects need to be developed to a certain height.

And the year after that, it is the real process of quantitative change to qualitative change.

"Two years."

Tian Wujing was noncommittal about this time.

The two of them marched, already far away from the main camp, and began to meet the sentry cavalry on the periphery.

During the day, the Chu army seemed to be planning to expand its sphere of influence and extend its tentacles to the outside world, but it was forcibly contained by the Jingnan army.

This is not that the Chu people suddenly can't think about it and want to find some excitement, but above the battle array, even if it is a defense, there is no reason to completely stick to the city wall, and the Chu army's military strength is also sufficient, and they don't want Zhennanguan to become a "lonely city" completely.

Once it is completely compressed back, to put it mildly, the Yan army can send a small scale of cavalry to directly enter Chu from Zhennan Pass to Shanggu County to fight a dozen grass valleys.

A Zhennan Pass is just at the junction of the most smooth plains and mountains between Jin and Chu, not that Zhennan Pass will defend Chu land impenetrable.

Otherwise, how did Uncle Zheng come back this time?

Of course, the road taken by Uncle Zheng is not suitable for the army to move forward, but if he leans a little further east, the road will be much easier, and the Chu people must also control that area.

Therefore, it is necessary to send troops to go deeper, maybe it is a few thousand horsemen, and 10,000 is the most, because it is impossible for the main force to insert it when Zhennan Pass is not conquered, otherwise it is likely that it will not be able to come out, and the military strategy will directly fall into passivity.

Of course, Nian Yao, the general of the Chu people in Zhennan Pass, would not be willing to do this, because it would make him and the imperial court politically passive.

Therefore, even if Nian Yao knew that he was invincible to the Jingnan Army in the field, he still had to keep seizing the opportunity to expand outward and test it.

Further on, you will encounter the scouts of the Chu people.

But Zheng Fan did not remind Hou Ye, but silently unloaded the bow and arrows and prepared to be on alert.

"Your Majesty's idea is also in two years, Qianchu, must be broken first."

Emperor Yan was in a hurry, and Zheng Fan had known this for a long time.

This is an eloquent monarch, and he is eager to push the situation of Dayan's domination of the world while he is alive.

Two years, destroy a country.

"What the imperial court is measuring now is whether it wants to attack Chu or attack Qianqian first, Your Majesty, it wants to attack Qianqian first."

The richness of the Qianguo can be said to be the highest among the four countries.

The annexation of Qianguo was also Emperor Yan's lifelong wish.

"I still think it's most appropriate to attack Chu first." Zheng Fan said.

"Why?"

"If you attack dry, you may not need me."

This is a clear selfishness.

Once the imperial court plans to attack the Qianguo with all its might, then Zheng Fan, as an earl guarding the northeasternmost corner of Dayan, can really do a limited amount, and it is very likely that he will help the western front keep an eye on the movements of the Chu State.

If there is a problem in the battle situation, you may even be led by a holy decree to run thousands of miles to the Qianguo battlefield, which is the most loss-making battle, because the battlefield is too far away from your own nest, and you can't occupy the territory if you are defeated, and the looting proceeds have to travel thousands of miles to transport it back.

As for meritorious service, fame or something, after regaining the princess, Uncle Zheng has no shortage of it, what he lacks now is strength.

"Ben Hou also thinks that it is most appropriate to attack Chu first, the three sides of the Qianguo, arrive at my Dayan Yinlang County, the wealth of the Qianguo, let my Dayan be like a fish in the throat, after destroying the Chu State, even if I am unable to continue to attack Qian, the next generation of my Dayan will not be slack.

In a war, you have to pick up soft persimmons and pinch them first, but to destroy the country, you have to choose the hard ones to destroy first. ”

"Yes, Master Hou."

Ahead, there was already a Chu State sentry horse, but the other party was just watching from a distance, because the two horses came over, and their posture was too relaxed.

Tian Wujing continued to move forward, and Uncle Zheng was still following.

Nearby, sentry horses began to appear more and more frequently, and even, fifty sentry horses had appeared.

gilded armor,

crotch Pixiu,

Who's coming,

It's been extremely clear.

Yanren Nanhou!

King Jingnan!

Jingnanhou is here!

One message after another, kept being transmitted back.

"This is the case, Ben Hou is going to withdraw his troops, the Chu people should not dare to go north for a while, when the time comes, Ben Hou will lend you 50,000 Jingnan troops to help you take care of the snow field again."

Last time, after defeating the main force of the Savage King, because the army was exhausted at that time, and moreover, there were still tens of thousands of Qingluan troops in Yupan City, so the Marquis of Jingnan did not order the Yan army to take advantage of the situation to attack the snow field in the north to avenge the people of Chengguo.

But now that a year has passed, when the confrontation on the side of Zhennanguan is over, the Yan army will be able to be more calm than last year, and the snow field will still have to be cleared.

"Thank you, Master Hou."

With 50,000 Jingnan troops, plus the Snow Sea Iron Cavalry, Uncle Zheng is confident that those savage tribes on the snow field will completely kneel down and sing about his conquest.

The people they had plundered, their cattle and sheep, nay, even themselves, would be the wealth of the Snow Customs.

One Naiban tribe has already allowed the Snow Customs to pass a sufficient year, and there are many tribes on the snow field that are similar to the Naiban tribe or even larger than the Naiban tribe!

The sentinels of the Chu people kept passing from afar,

And at this time,

Chatting and talking,

Unconsciously,

Zheng Fan had already "gone deeper" with the Marquis of Jingnan to an extremely deep position, and he could already see the camp in front of the Chu people.

This is the area that the Chu people have expanded outward in the past few days, and it is also the camp that has just been built.

The next scene,

Uncle Zheng will remember it for a long, long time;

Tian Wujing didn't speak again,

Just sit quietly on Pixiu,

Under the moonlight,

One person and one Pixiu, like a sculpture dyed with a moon halo, exudes a cold and inaccessible atmosphere.

Shaoqing,

The Chu military camp in front of him began to stir,

The Chu army did not rush out in an attempt to encircle here,

Contrary

And they began,

Withdraw troops.
