Chapter 5 Near the City
Dongshan Road is one of the seven roads of Qingguo, biased to the northeast, from the Kunshan to the north, will plunge into the Dongyi City secretly influenced those princes and small countries, through those cities, will enter the Northern Qi border.
Of course, he won't head north today, and there is nothing on the Northern Qi side that attracts him for the time being.
Sitting on the horse, looking at the map in his hand, Fan Xian couldn't help frowning, pointed to the corner of the map and said, "It turns out that Jiaozhou is still under the ground...... There's a big blank space on it, what's the square?"
Beside him, it was the deputy commander surnamed Jing of the Black Riding Land, and today this Jing General was still wearing the silver mask on his face, listening to his boss's words, and said in a deep voice: "The north of Shanzhou is a large area of mountains and dense forests, and few people dare to enter it, so when the map is drawn, it is just a blank, and in the north of this big blank land, it is Dongyi City, which is adjacent to the bay."
Fan Xian sighed, thinking that he was going to see the land one day, but today he learned that Dongyi City, the largest city in the world, was not far away from the place where he spent his childhood, but Fan Xian was very familiar with the mountains and mountains in the north of the city, and knew that if he wanted to find a road from those directions, it was basically impossible.
If the people of Dongyi City want to go to Nanqing, they can only go around from the west side of the mountain...... Or by sea.
Thinking that Dongyi City's naval ability is extremely strong, Fan Xiandi's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of worry, although there is no way for the ground and water army in this world to affect the general trend, but the ability to harass the land still has land, if Dongyi City ...... Forcibly landed in Shanzhou?
At this time, Fan Xian finally understood why His Majesty valued this matter and asked him to do it himself, and also understood why after the first water division in Quanzhou was abolished, the imperial court had always insisted on raising such a water division in the remote Jiaozhou.
Jiaozhou is in the south of Shanzhou, and there are strong water divisions stationed here, which is naturally to deter the power of Dongyi City on the sea.
The corners of Fan Xiandi's lips couldn't help but sneer, now he naturally knows that the Quanzhou sailor back then, to a certain extent, if his mother was in the private army, the court would do things.
"Old Jing ...... Why don't you take off your mask?" he smiled and looked at the black cavalry generals beside him, trying to soften his tone and not reveal the chill in his heart.
According to Chen Pingping's strict order, the four hundred black horsemen on this road, since Fan Xian's envoy to the Northern Qi Dynasty, have become his subordinates, and the four hundred black-clothed, black-faced cavalry actually helped Fan Xian a lot, such as the rescue of Sean by the Shangshan Tiger, such as the encirclement and suppression of Junshan in the south of the Yangtze River.
And the biggest benefits that the black rider brought to Fan Xian this way are not only these.Fan Xian has not been able to extend his hand to the army for various reasons, and the black cavalry exists, and if he is the most powerful force, it can increase his strength and law, and it can also make him have a little more confidence when negotiating with others.
In the absence of military authority, it is comforting to have black horsemen under your command.
It's just that Fan Xian is not very close to his subordinates along the way, because ...... The black rider can't enter the state, or even get close to the state, and Fan Xian is a person who is greedy for pleasure, so he naturally doesn't want to live in the barracks, so there is not much time for dialogue between the superiors and subordinates, and this strangeness can't be eliminated in a short period of time.
Fan Xian understood that if he really wanted to do something in the future, he must master the greatest force under his command, and he could not rely on Chen Pingping to control it, but he could only rely on himself, so that these more than 400 cavalrymen would follow him and subdue the other party from the depths of his heart......
So after meeting the black cavalry from the three forks, he has been trying to subdue Wang Qinian and Deng Ziyue method to subdue the deputy commander of the black cavalry who has been wearing a silver mask all the time.
Fan Xian smiled gently, frankly, chatting, talking about the short gossip of the parents, weaving a warm and open atmosphere, of course, he would not forget to reveal the calm and self-confidence that the person in the top position should have.
It's just that the deputy commander surnamed Jingdi is still so indifferent, and he is not moved at all, and he replied directly: "I'm used to it."
That's why Fan Xian was a little annoyed, and suddenly smiled and said, "There are no more than two kinds of people wearing masks."
Riding on a horse, the body of the commander Jing who followed him did not react, but Fan Xian found that the other party's hand was slightly tightened holding the reins, and it seemed that the other party was more interested in this topic.
Probably curious, look at the famous little fan, how will he comment on that mask.
Fan Xian said: "Either the face under the mask is too ugly, or it has been seriously injured and it is unbearable...... This face is too handsome, handsome like a girl......"
"Of course, I'm not sarcastic about myself in this sentence."
"The black rider is going into battle to kill the enemy, and the more hideous the face, the easier it is to intimidate the enemy, so that the former reason does not exist." Fan Xian smiled and looked at the silver mask that shimmered with a glimmer, and said, "It seems that Jing Jiang must be a rare beautiful man."
Commander Jing was really stunned, and after a moment, he said, "Lord Tisi is really ...... That's great."
Fan Xian smiled, thinking that he had heard too much about the story of King Lanling and Di Qingdi, and it was still okay to be blinded casually.
However, the Jing Commander still didn't take off his mask, which made Fan Xian wonder if he had guessed correctly.
"I don't know your name yet." Fan Xian didn't bother to do this kind of political work anymore, and asked lightly.
Commander Jing's eyes were solemn, he held the reins of his horse, and said, "The subordinate is surnamed Jing, nameless."
"Jing Wuming?" How could Fan Xian not know the name of the strongest force commander under his command, and he just deliberately pretended to be stunned.
"If you were Jing Wufang, wouldn't I become the father of the Shangguan Demon Girl?"
......
......
Hundreds of horsemen lined up in a slender line, silent in the quiet valley to the northeast, and scouts were released at a certain distance all around, and their whereabouts should not be revealed.
Fan Xian and Jing Jiang were in the middle of the two horses, and they were slowly walking through the valley, Fan Xian was laughing again because of the association of the place, Jing Jiang looked at him with some curiosity, and then said: "The subordinate is surnamed Jing, no name, not nameless."
Five big men without a name? A black cavalry general without a name?
Fan Xian opened his lips slightly, and couldn't help sighing, thinking that it was no wonder that the world was afraid of the Supervision Yuan like a demon, under the influence of Chen Pingping's old lameness, the entire Supervision Yuan and the officials' style of acting and life experience were strange.
He knew that this general would not deceive himself, and said softly, "It's better to have a name."
General Jing was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Please give me a name."
For the name giver, this is a very high honor, Fan Xian was surprised, and couldn't believe his ears, but looking back at this general, he looked at the general with sincerity in his eyes, knowing that the other party was not joking.
He slowly lowered his head and thought seriously for a long time before he smiled and said, "A single name is a Ge, and the word stops martial arts, how about it?"
Jing Jiang was also a hero in the army back then.It was only because he offended the powerful that he was fished out by Chen Pingping and put in the black horseman, and there were some inky characters in his chest, as soon as he heard the name, he immediately understood the meaning of Fan Tisi.
Beneath the silver mask, the corners of the lips are beautifully curved.
As a result, he was sentenced to death when he picked his boss in the army, and then disappeared magically, and has been nameless and nameless, covering his face with a silver mask...... A few years after cutting off the first half of his life, he finally had his own name and started another part of his life.
"Jing Ge." In the sound of horses' hooves, Fan Xian smiled and said, "Who did you offend back then?"
......
......
Jing Ge didn't know if he hadn't gotten used to his new name, or if he hadn't spoken for a long time because he was so shocked by Lord Tisi's sharpness.
After being silent for a long time, he said softly, "Qin family."
Fan Xian gasped, what kind of power did the Qin family have in the army, he was naturally clear, Lao Qin had always dominated the position of the Privy Council, and Xiao Qin had now become a garrison in Kyoto, and even his own father-in-law was afraid of the Qin family when he was in the court...... He actually offended the Qin family back then!
As soon as he thought of this, Fan Xian couldn't help but admire and be shocked by Chen Pingping.The old cripple was really bold enough to dare to use the enemies of the Qin family, and he had been using it for so many years, and he also let Jing Ge go to the position of deputy commander of the black horse.
"I ...... I have a good relationship with the Qin family." He said something tentatively, thinking that as long as Jing Ge was willing to ask him for help, he could try to make up for the grudge after returning to Beijing.
Jing Ge laughed, his lips smiling with great joy beyond his silver mask.
"Thank you, sir." Jing Ge said this very sincerely, "No need."
Fan Xian squinted at him slightly, as if he wanted to see what this silent and tough subordinate was thinking, and after a long time, he asked, "You and the Qin family...... What's the enmity?"
Jing Ge was silent for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "In the camp, I killed the eldest son of the Qin family."
The son of the Qin family, Qin Hengdi's brother, Fan Xian's face remained unchanged, but his heart became cold, if the person who was killed by Jing Ge had survived until now...... I'm afraid that he is already one of the best military generals in the DPRK, so he is so hateful...... What did Chen Pingping think? Why did she take in a time bomb in the Supervision Yuan?
There were a few bird calls ahead.
Moving forward in silence, the black rider stopped in a very uniform manner, not a man, but a horse...... This kind of horse-riding technique is really one of the best in the world, and I am afraid that only the tent army of the king of Xihu has this ability.
Twilight is approaching.
Fan Xian and Jing Ge galloped forward, through the valley, halfway up the mountainside, condescending to overlook the city below the mountain.
The city is not big, and there are already lights and stars inside.
This is Jiaozhou.
To the right, a sea was turning blue into pitch black in the dim sky, and a heavily guarded dockyard and dozens of warships were faintly visible.
That's the Jiaozhou Water Division.
"Feel free to do it, those who dare to enter the city will be killed."
Fan Xian had already put the Jinggedi problem behind him, indifferently and directly issued an order, pulled the reins of the horse, broke away from the black cavalry army, and rode alone on the narrow mountain road without any escort, heading towards Jiaozhou City at the foot of the mountain.
