Devil’s Advent

v2 Chapter 123: Jingnan Hou Expedition

In the military village, Shenglecheng's soldiers are training under the leadership of Liang Cheng, while General Zheng sits on the tower, basking in the sun and dozing off.

Obviously on the battlefield, General Zheng gave out the peaceful atmosphere of the lazy old farmer in the ridge.

The other three soldiers on the guard tower were extremely excited at the opportunity to have such a close contact with General Zheng. Their bodies were tensed, their backs were straight, and they were staring wide and staring around them. They were a hundred times more energetic than usual. To monitor the surrounding situation, to protect their beloved General Zheng.

in fact,

General Zheng regretted it a long time ago. Why did he regret that there were two demon kings staying at home? Isn't that a waste?

I had known it earlier, so I took Siniang with me on the expedition.

On the other side of Wangjiang River, both the Chu army and the savages started a series of mobilizations. The freezing of Wangjiang River forced them to make some preparations.

Obviously, the Savage King and the Chu Kingdom Qu Tiannan did not give up their vigilance against Yan Guo's iron cavalry because of the last great victory, especially when they lost the Wangjiang Tianmo and the support of the navy.

On Yingdu's side, since the defeat of the war, the eldest prince has begun to adjust and dispatch, relocate the defense line, shelter Chengguo's auxiliary soldiers, rectify Chengguo's small court, and store food and grass in all aspects.

Apart from other things, at least one thing can be confirmed, that is, even if this battle is over, it is estimated that it will be difficult for the people of a nation to recover within two years.

In fact, many refugee groups have emerged. Under this circumstance, many ordinary people have chosen to vote with their feet and began to migrate to the west, and because of the internal reasons of Situ's family, the local officials did not dare to stop them.

Shengle City, which has been suffering from a labor shortage, has recently taken in many refugees and has taken a lot of advantages.

Of course, this is not necessarily a bad thing. It can be regarded as an overdraft of the potential of becoming a nation in advance, and it will also facilitate the rule of the State of Yan over the nation after the war.

However, the premise must be post-war.

If this battle is not won or the stalemate continues like this, then all the previous assumptions will fail.

In the winter sun, Zheng Fan opened his eyes slightly, and then slowly closed them.

At this moment, he really has nothing to do except sleep.

At this moment, the whistle sounded, and at the same time a soldier next to him knelt down in front of Zheng Fan, reporting:

"General, there are outside riders approaching!"

"Ok."

Zheng Fan nodded and didn't take it seriously. Although his military camp is relatively independent, it is not isolated from Yingdu. From time to time, the two sides still communicate with each other for information or something.

Of course, the exchanges between the two sides are limited to this. When the prince had just led the army to the east, Zheng Fan and Chen Yang, the heads of the "Jingnan Army", could not attack him at all, not to mention that the prince is now After defeating the war, the prestige thing has fallen sharply earlier.

But soon, the three knights who came came to the bottom of the camp and shouted directly:

"General Shengle Zheng Fan took the order of Jingnan Hou Jun!"

...

Sheng Lejun, who had been stationed in the northwest of Yingdu City for a long time, finally moved out, while Zheng Fan, accompanied by A Ming and more than a dozen soldiers, went to Yingdu in accordance with the order of Jingnan Hou Jun.

It was also a coincidence that I ran into Chen Yang, who was also carrying a group of guards, halfway through Shanghai.

Zheng Fan’s general still bowed his head in front of Chen Yang, but the relationship between Zheng Fan and Jingnanhou was different, so although Chen Yang would not put his head in front of Zheng Fan, he would not express favor with Zheng Fan. However, on the contrary, both parties in this relationship feel comfortable getting along.

The two teams merged, and the two leaders didn't speak, they just smiled at each other, and then went on to Yingdu.

Jingnan Hou is here,

In fact, he came very slowly. Outside Yingdu City, how many troops have been waiting for him?

But he also came very quickly, and the fast here means that there is no warning.

But no matter what, if he comes, then the war will be able to continue.

It is the first time that Yan Ren has planted such a big somersault in a foreign war in so many years, and it is also time to find his place.

At a distance of more than ten miles from Yingdu, Zheng Fan and Chen Yang saw a Jingnan army in front of them. There were not many people, and there were only a hundred people, but one of them seemed so clear with one ride. .

The size of Pai Yao was much higher than that of a normal horse, and coupled with the set of gilt armor, it was difficult for people to pay attention.

This team should be the vanguard led by Lord Hou, and there are also 30,000 Jingnan troops on the way, and they will probably be there in a day.

This is what Zheng Fan asked the messenger. It was nothing to ask about these things as Zheng Fan. The messenger didn't conceal it, but directly told the size of the army.

Yes, Jingnan Hou only brought 30,000 Jingnan troops to reinforce.

In fact, there are far more Jingnan troops in Shanxi. Before the Three Kingdoms War, the Jingnan Army had a size of 50,000 troops and a reserve battalion of 50,000 troops.

During the Three Kingdoms War, the Jingnan Army, like the Zhenbei Army, suffered a lot of losses. However, after the war, the Jingnan Army’s replenishment speed was also extremely fast. In Liang Cheng’s words, that was the Jingnan Army’s original command. The number of troops is small, so Jingnan Hou is always striving for perfection. The quality of individual soldiers is very high. It is a bit similar to Germany after World War I and before World War II. Soldiers are trained as reserve officers, so before World War II, they can quickly turn on violent troops. mode.

Roughly speaking, the size of the Jingnan Army in Jindi should be as large as 150,000. This is not even the Jinan Servant Army attached to the Jingnan Army. Strictly speaking, Zheng Fan’s soldiers and horses are not counted in Jing. In the main army system of the Southern Army, because it has many Jin troops under its command, it is more like a "servant army."

Originally, everyone thought that if the Jingnan Hou came, at least the Jingnan army with a base of 700,000 to 80,000 would have to come over, not only to make up for the loss of the left army of the Yan army’s eastern expedition, but also to balance the quality of the soldiers. In terms of combat effectiveness, it can surpass the army of the Eastern Expedition before the war.

But Jingnan Hou brought only 30,000. You can understand that there are too many places in Jin that need to be fortified and suppressed. Nanmen Pass is defended on the front line, Litian City needs to be guarded, and even because of Li Bao’s death, he originally belonged to Quhe. Part of the city’s defense areas must also be replaced by the Jingnan Army.

But these are all reasons. I really want to bring it. Seventy to eighty thousand. It is absolutely no problem. It is no problem to break the boat a little more. One hundred thousand Jingnan army and five to sixty thousand Jin army servants are no problem.

So, this is probably the reason why the famous general is a famous general. Throughout the Jingnan Hou's conquest, what he has fought has been the victory with less and more victories, so it seems that the gold content is exceptionally high.

The team in front seemed to find themselves here too, and stopped, as if waiting for them.

Zheng Fan and Chen Yang rode out together, came to the front and back of the team, and got off the horse together:

"Final Zheng Fan, see Lord Hou!"

"Final Chen Yang, see Lord Hou!"

"Get up."

"Thank you Lord Hou!"

"Thank you Lord Hou!"

After getting up, Zheng Fan had time to observe Tian Wujing and found that Tian Wujing didn't look at him at all.

Putting it aside, Tian Wujing would probably have a chat with himself, but this time, no.

What Jingnanhou exudes is a breath of isolation and indifference.

That gray hair made Zheng Fan a little distressed.

The team began to move forward again, and soon came to the city of Yingdu.

The Yingdu city, from the rich and powerful to the common people, who had received the notification in advance, all flocked out of the city to welcome the heroic Nanhou.

in fact,

There is a very embarrassing thing,

That was the specific purpose, and it didn't come to Yingdu.

According to the rules of the imperial court, it should take time for the Jingnan Hou to take the decree to make preparations, and then let the **** who proclaimed the decree go to Yingdu, and then issue the next imperial decree.

In this second imperial decree, there was derogation and punishment of the prince, from the general of the Eastern Expedition Army to a member of the Pioneer Battalion, and then there were a series of personnel changes, and at the same time, it was announced that the Situ family was here. The master of the war, we Yan people have already been replaced, and your Situ family must do a good job in logistics and auxiliary work.

However, the first two eunuchs failed to succeed in their declaration and they were killed directly.

Huang Gonggong’s decree was successful, but after Jingnan Hou said "I got it", he didn’t stop at all, and he didn’t have much preparation at all. After dispatching three 10,000 horses to follow, he first led a group of guard battalions to the east. Away.

Therefore, the decree given to Yingdu is still on Huang Gonggong, and Huang Gonggong is still on the road humming hard, how could they run faster than Jingnanhou?

Some decree cannot be issued in advance. For example, before Jingnan Hou received the imperial decree, the arrangements for the eldest prince could not be changed, because the court also knew that even though the eldest prince was defeated, Yingdu must also have an identity status there. There is enough information to control the situation, and it is impossible for the new boss to be dismantled before the new boss comes up, so that the frontline troops don’t even have a nominal commander in chief. Isn’t that a joke?

However, the situation at this time did not have any waves due to an imperial decree.

When Jingnanhou and his party appeared outside Yingdu City,

Situ Yu led a group of officials from the palace to kneel directly on the road outside the city gate to greet him.

Shanhu:

"Little Wang, see Master Jingnan!"

"Courtes, see Jingnan Hou Ye!"

A prince bowed down to salute a Hou Ye, which seemed ridiculous.

But neither the surrounding Yan army nor the national army, or the civil and military nearby and the people on the periphery, did not feel that there was anything wrong or inappropriate.

It is true that if Situ Lei is not dead, he does not need to kneel.

But now Situ Lei died early, and I don’t know how long, the new owner of the Situ family is this half-eldest child, and he has insufficient prestige;

Furthermore, the two princes of the north and the south of the country of Yan, to be honest, the title sounds like a prince, but what is the actual status and status of the king?

And he is still the king who holds the power of war!

At the same time, the background at this time was that the Yan army was defeated, and the Chu people and savages on the east bank of Wangjiang River could come west at any time. It was the time when people were in panic, which highlighted the importance of Jingnan Hou.

"Li Fusheng, general soldier of the Zhenbei Army, see Jingnan Houye!"

Li Fusheng also knelt down to Tian Wujing.

The prince silently took out the Emperor Sword from his waist and took it off. At the same time, he placed his handsome seal amulet on the ground in front of him, stepped back two steps, and knelt down:

"Ji Wujiang, see Lord Hou!"

No imperial decree,

No army,

Just myself, with some guards,

Didn't even say a word,

He has already taken over this Yingdu City and the entire Great Yandong Expedition Army together with the soldiers and horses of the country.

this is,

What a prestige!

Tian Wujing came down from the brave,

Slowly approached everyone,

The armor made a dull "rustle" sound due to friction.

He walked in front of the eldest prince, and walked in front of the former head of the Eastern Crusade who took the initiative to surrender the big seal.

He opened his mouth and said:

"Get up."

"Thank you Lord Hou!"

"Thank you Lord Hou!"

Situ Yu and other officials of the country stood up, and Li Fusheng and other generals also stood up.

The eldest prince hesitated for a moment, and would stand up too.

But a boot stepped on his Ji Wujiang shoulder.

"boom!"

The eldest prince was kicked to the ground.

For a while,

The audience was silent.

The kicker was naturally Jingnan Hou, and the kicked was the eldest son of Emperor Yan. At the same time, this was in full view.

Tian Wujing is the "uncle" of Jingnan Hou,

Although not blood relatives,

But according to current rules, the aunt's relatives will naturally have a collateral influence on the concubine.

Tian Wujing's sister is a queen, and he is naturally the uncle of all the princes.

But even if you don’t look at the status of your uncle, the elder, or the status of Jingnanhou,

It depends purely on the strength of both parties,

It was almost impossible for the eldest prince to resist in front of Tian Wujing.

This is a Lord Hou who can defeat the Sword Saint!

The eldest prince who was kicked to the ground didn't care about wiping the blood stains on the corners of his mouth or adjusting the internal injuries caused by his own blood turbulence, so he knelt down in front of Tian Wujing again.

"The left army, the center army, the right army, the three-way army, the three elements, who taught you to fight like this!"

Hearing this, Ji Wujiang trembled, and immediately put his forehead on the ground and shouted loudly:

"Wujiang was wrong!"

In the Left Army, as long as there are ten thousand northern troops, the tragedy of tens of thousands of drowned people will not happen that day.

Because if there are a few wolves in a group of sheep, they will naturally follow the order of the wolves, not only in the discipline after crossing the river, but when there is a Zhenbei Army at that time, it can completely help the Left Army. The coalition forces of those army chiefs resisted the first wave of savages.

At least,

The battle will be a field battle between the two sides outside the camp, regardless of whether they win or lose.

In short, it will not be reduced to being compressed to Jiang Li like driving a duck!

"boom!"

Tian Wujing gave another kick to the prince who was kneeling on the ground and confessed his mistake.

The eldest prince was kicked again,

But soon, he endured the pain again and knelt down in front of Jingnanhou again.

"Wujiang was wrong!"

"You are the head coach in front. Your Majesty has never led a soldier outside in a war in your life. Your Majesty doesn't understand some things, don't you understand?

Are you a general leading the army outside, or a clay statue standing on the court! "

The division of the three-way army was determined by Emperor Yan.

It is also the policy of the Emperor Yan to gather the military leaders in the territory of the Yan Kingdom and hand them over to the eldest prince to polish on the battlefield. This is not wrong, it is also a way of centralizing power.

The problem was that when the three-way army set off, it was a three-way army, and when it fought, it was also a three-way army. The eldest prince only purged the left army, but did not dismantle and integrate it.

You know, when Jingnan Hou and Zhenbei Hou entered the South Gate and opened the Jin Dynasty together, the Zhenbei Army and Jingnan Army did not have you to beat me and I beat you, but Zhenbei Hou completely surrendered the command. Let Jingnan Hou do the unified allocation and distribution.

The two big bosses and two ace soldiers were like this before the war, what kind of thing are you, you dare to play like this?

The last one who played this way was Qianguo, and soldiers from all walks of life came in swarms, but they were directly killed by the northern army of 60,000 towns under the capital of Shangjing.

Of course, when the phrase "Your Majesty doesn't know you don't know" is said,

The hearts of many people present jumped subconsciously.

Perhaps only Jingnan Hou dare to say such rebellious things.

Situ Yu, the prince and head of the Situ family, this half-year-old child, watched Jingnan Hou kick the prince one by one. He was so frightened that he was about to cry, and he was about to kneel down again.

It’s not that this child is too timid, and that he is Situ Lei’s son no matter how unbearable, but that his feelings are different from those of others. When other people see Jingnan Hou kicking the eldest prince, they feel Jingnan. The horror of the status of Hou, the relationship between Jingnan Hou, Yanhuang and Zhenbei Hou is unusual.

As for Situ Yu, his position was that he felt Tian Wujing's contempt for imperial power and bloodlines.

And the pedigree is the fundamental reason why Situ Yu can stand in this place today. Otherwise, what military merits do you have, what contribution do you have, and what talents do you have to be able to sit in this position?

The eldest prince was kicked over again and again, and came back on his knees again and again, not daring to resist the slightest amount, or even the slightest anger on his face.

It is right for the elders to teach the younger ones.

Standing behind and watching this scene, Zheng Fan thought in his heart, it seems that Jingnan Hou was treating the Emperor Guan, that’s really a tradition...

The family of the princes and mothers destroyed the two families. Although the third princes abolished them by themselves, they still did it under the sign of Tian Wujing.

The six adult princes of Emperor Yan, Jingnan Hou has already finished three, and this one is the fourth one today.

"Knowing that the Chu State navy master appeared, but still forcibly crossed the river to attack Yupan City. You thought you were a place to die, but you just didn’t want to lose. Because you didn’t want to lose, so you ruined a commander, and ruined more. Five thousand Zhenbei elite!

What kind of thing are you, just because your surname is Ji, they have to die for your stupidity? "

The Chu State Navy appears, and the probability of Chu State sending infantry is also very high.

"Wujiang was wrong!"

The eldest prince just kept confessing his mistakes loudly.

"Don't think that you didn't commit suicide, you are still alive, you feel that you have endured great grievances;

For the general, defeat means incompetence and no other reason! "

"Yes, I know I'm wrong."

At this moment, A Ming, who was standing behind Zheng Fan, approached and whispered: "Master, is it too much?"

In front of everyone, directly treat the prince like this, tusk.

Zheng Fan shook his head slightly.

Replied in a low voice:

"No, he is happy to be kicked and beaten, and he can take the burden off."
