"Hehe, you didn't see Xu Wenzu's face."

Zheng Fan grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds from the blind man's hand while chatting and chatting.

The blind man smiled and said:

"Understandable, the foreplay was done, everything was ready, and it turned out that it was a man."

"Blind man, I found that after you overdrafted once, your whole person has changed a little bit." A Ming joked beside him.

"Who didn't have a young age, it's a pity, this world has an ancient background, otherwise I can push all the names with A at the beginning of WeChat to you."

Hearing this, Fan Li rubbed his head and asked, "What do you mean?"

Siniang glared at the blind man and said to Fan Li:

"Children's family, don't interrupt when adults speak."

"Oh."

Fan Li continued to squat by the threshold, listening to everyone.

Since that time when everyone was talking in the pavilion at night, Fan Li directly said, "Should we chop the Lord?"

When everyone chatted, they tacitly excluded this naivety.

There is no need to go to war. To be precise, there is no need to go to that kind of war. In fact, everyone is very happy in their hearts, so they intentionally cheer and liven up the atmosphere when they speak.

Closer to home,

Blind North Road:

"Fuck people, this is going to be completely clear."

Just give up the castle group, no more, this seems to be an extremely negative way to avoid war, but it is like taking back one's fist, and it is even more difficult to deal with.

The fortress group first started as a defensive measure to prevent the Yanren small cavalry from going south. This is indeed the case. After the defeat of the gangster a hundred years ago, in fact, small-scale friction between the two sides is common, and then gangsters. Started to build fortifications, and slowly, there were no more small groups of Yan cavalrymen going south to hit the grass valley.

Later, the decline of the royal court of the desert barbarians led to the rise of the Silk Road between the East and the West. Everyone was busy making money and doing business. The border between the two countries was more like a large transit market.

However, right now, it is a foregone conclusion that the Yan people will go south on a large scale. Therefore, the fortress defense system of Qian Nation can no longer play any substantial significance.

Because you don't need to warn you anymore, it's difficult for you to really stop it.

When Zheng Fan only led four hundred cavalry to the territory of Qianguo for the first time, he first pulled out a nail in front of him and then inserted it carefully.

But after the second time, when he led more than a thousand cavalry to the south, pulling the nails was just a matter of handy, more like practicing hands, and when he came back, he returned generously.

When you light a beacon, you can light a beacon. Anyway, you can't catch up with me, and the soldiers in the fortress dare not attack to stop it.

Therefore, after the implementation of this measure, the dry country can stop losses, no longer have to invest too much in the fortress group, and at the same time shrink its forces.

It's just that Qian Guo is the world of scholar-bureaucrats. What the scholar-officials like most is to slap their mouths and shout slogans regardless of the actual situation. The court's ministers must be able to make such a decision, which must be carried out by the court's ministers.

Zheng Fan said:

"In this way, what Dayan's army has to face is no longer the small-scale fortresses, but directly face the three towns.

Liang Zhen, Wei Zhen, and Chen Zhen are the three big fortresses, and the elites of the three sides of Qianguo are stationed inside.

This is the first defense of the country.

The second line of defense was based on the Western Army as the main body, deployed on the front line of Mianzhou City, with 150,000 Western Army and more than 40,000 wolf soldiers.

Mianzhou City is not very big, but what the Western Army is best at is the defense of civil engineering works. Relying on this, Mianzhou City has built an extremely strong line of defense.

The third defense was constructed at the junction of Chu County and the three northern towns with the presence of one hundred thousand forbidden army plus fifty thousand ancestral army and more than one hundred thousand soldiers similar to Yan Kingdom.

This defense relies on several cities in Chu County, and when needed in the front, troops can be deployed from here to the first two defense lines to supplement. "

Ah Ming looked at the owner of the house with some surprise. Originally, the blind man should be responsible for these tasks, but it seems that the owner of the house is not completely idle.

"The three lines of defense, add up to nearly 700,000 troops, and because of the aggressive approach of Yan Nation this time, they took the initiative to go to war, making it impossible to hide some things."

Blind Bei took out a letter from his sleeve,

Road:

"It's getting harder and harder for the Sixth Prince's eyeliner in Qianguo to pass back information or pass back valuable information, but this one is not bad.

What I'm talking about is that this time facing the pressure of Yan State, the three sides are unbearable, and the chicken feathers that the Forbidden Army got when they went north, caused the acne that had been covered and covered in the past to be uncovered.

The Emperor Qian was very angry, and three consecutive reforms were issued in the Privy Council, and one of them was given a green umbrella to return to his hometown.

At the same time, the Qianguo court sent nine imperial missions to various counties to recruit soldiers. Other places do not know, but in Beihe County alone, 20,000 Beihegan soldiers have been recruited.

Emperor Qian also has some means. "

"In this world, why not the emperor who eats meat, is a minority after all." Zheng Fan said.

A Ming said, "That means, as long as the stalemate continues, the Qianguo will be able to reform itself because of the pressure from Yanguo?"

"It's already started." Blind North corrected. "The three sides and the Shangjing Forbidden Army were originally listed in the military register of 800,000 each. According to tradition, squeeze the water, and more than 700,000 should be required. .

You must know that the problem of the three redundant cadres of the country is already very serious, and the military expenditure in it is the most important thing. Every year, the military expenditures of the government of the country are allocated in full. As for how to allocate them, how much can they fall into the army. In the hands, this is the tacit agreement that has been established for decades.

In the past, even if the emperor knew about this problem, he didn't dare to do anything. Qian Guo did not have Li Liangting and Tian Wujing.

But now, with the pretext of the national war, it is possible to start. In time, if Qianguo is really allowed to train a sufficient number of soldiers and horses, let alone the big Yan going south..."

"Reverse push is unlikely." Zheng Fan said.

"Maybe." The blind man shook his head. "It depends on the national fortune and luck. God knows if there are any future stars in the army."

At the beginning, the country of Yan was about to be destroyed, but the first generation of Zhenbeihou was born and crushed an army of half a million militants abruptly.

This is fate, which is the so-called national fortune.

Of course, this kind of fate doesn't happen very often, and there are various special conditions in it. Even if you ask the original Zhenbeihou himself to do it again that year, he can't say that he can't win that glorious victory.

"Maybe, our level is still not high enough. I don't believe that even the three of us can see the problem," Zheng Fan said.

"Lord, what you said is just like the common people always think that the emperor is good, but the bad ones are the ministers around the emperor."

"This is actually true." Zheng Fan smiled and said to the blind man: "For the past and present, regardless of how stupid the emperor is, how many of them are foolishly trying to deliberately collapse their own world?"

"Look, we can only watch now anyway." Blind North reached out his hand and rubbed his temples, and said: "I asked the caravan of the Sixth Prince to help inquire about some situations, and found that we Dayan didn't The equipment for siege is manufactured in large quantities, and the materials in this area have not been collected on a large scale.

Perhaps, as you said, the three above have actually already had a plan in their minds, otherwise it would not have been the case that when the Zhenbei army was still busy with the horses, Jingnan Hou ordered these army leaders to go south to harass. , Isn't this just stunning the snake? "

With that, the blind man faced Liang Cheng again and said:

"Acheng, tell me something."

After returning from the gathering place, Liang Cheng has not said much.

Seeing the blind man call out to let himself talk about it,

Liang Cheng could only speak:

"Cavalry, it's a waste to use it to attack the city."

A Ming shook his head and said, "Don't talk nonsense."

Liang Cheng nodded,

Road:

"Not necessarily."

...

Mianzhou City has been visited twice by Zheng Defense, but in a short time, there will be no third time.

Relying on the walls of Mianzhou City, extending out in four directions, large camps rose from the ground. Every day, soldiers from the West were trained in them.

Even if Cuiliubao failed to bleed this time, even if Zheng Shoubei brought all the foundations of his family, facing this kind of unreasonable civil engineering, he might not be able to touch the city of Mianzhou again if he had all the foundations of his family. By the city wall.

The wind in winter is like a knife for cutting meat.

Zhong Wendao stood on the wall, beside him, stood his youngest son Zhong Tianlang.

The major general of the Western Army rushed for hundreds of miles to break through the enemy’s village, and the feat of fighting against Zheng mortal head has been announced. This is a morale-raising victory.

Throughout the ages, truly outstanding generals have understood in their hearts that even in a defensive battle, they have never completely shy away from being beaten passively.

The general direction is defense, but in order to boost morale, it is necessary to gain some advantage in the local area.

This is the fundamental reason why Zhong Wendao is willing to hand over the most precious cavalry of the Western Army to his youngest son to "rally".

At this time, both father and son were standing in the cold wind. Zhong Tianlang was a little worried about his father's body, but he knew that if he persuaded his father to go back and rest at this time, it would make his father feel unhappy.

"You can have these cognitions, and I am very happy for my father."

"My son was indeed a little bit ignorant before."

"This battle is not easy to fight, Yan people, not Beiqiang, nor the chieftains in the mountains of the southwest."

"Son knows."

"Receive its pride and retain its sharpness."

"The son thanks his father for his teaching."

"After the Western Army, it is destined to be handed over to you. In fact, when receiving the imperial court's order to transfer troops, my father hesitated."

As he said, Zhong Wendao's eyes swept around and said:

"The most terrifying thing in this north is never the weather, but the plains."

"Father, no matter how powerful the Yan people's cavalry is, they can't rush to our western army's military village."

Zhong Wendao glanced at his son and didn't say anything, but between his eyebrows, there was a slight wound.

Zhong Tianlang spoke again:

"Father, if we want to expedite the Northern Expedition, we must support our cavalry."

"Northern Expedition?"

"Yes, the Northern Expedition, my son believes that one day, I will expedite the Northern Expedition to Yanman!"

When Zhong Wendao heard this, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He didn’t want to talk to his son about the difficulty of the Northern Expedition.

I don’t want to explain how taboo the word "Northern Expedition" is in the court.

But it's always normal for young people to yearn for this.

It was the same for him back then.

Zhong Wendao couldn't help thinking of the scene when he and Meng Gong's father and others were standing next to the thorny mate. At that time, they were actually planning the Northern Expedition.

A part of the Western Army specifically restricted the Northern Qiang, but did not kill the Northern Qiang to exterminate the clan. The purpose was to use the Northern Qiang to sharpen the cavalry of the country.

However, after the prosperity dissipated and the mood was depressed, many things that could make people boiled up in the past have no feelings.

There is no idea to make you droop a little bit more.

At this moment, a group of sentry riders returned to the camp, went straight to the military village, and then went straight to the south gate of Mianzhou City, below the clock where Wen Dao and his son stood.

The military newspapers that can go straight into the city are obviously at a certain level. Ordinary military newspapers will be digested outside. After the analysis is done, they will be submitted.

After all, the coach is not a god, and it is impossible for a large army camp of nearly 200,000 people to control everything in place.

Zhong Tianlang took the initiative to go down to pick up the military report,

For a while,

Zhong Tianlang walked back with an excited smile on his face.

After walking to his father's side,

He opened his mouth and said:

"Father, the second uncle took Xishanying to the north."

Xishan is the frontline position of Qianguo against Beiqiang, where part of the Western Army is stationed, and Zhong Wendao's younger brother, Zhong Wenmian, has been in charge.

The Western Army is a huge military group. Although the Zhong family has a detached position in the Western Army, it does not have absolute control over the Western Army like the Zhenbeihou Mansion. He is more like a military formed by specific conditions in a specific era. ...Freaks.

The two principals of Zhong Wendao and Zhong Wenmian were the symbols of the Western Army and were called Zhong Xianggong and Xiao Zhong Xianggong by the outside world.

Zhong Tianlang was very excited, because although the Xishan Battalion had a small military strength of only 30,000, most of the Xishan Battalion were horsemen, that is, cavalry.

It can be said that the most elite cavalry force in the entire army is Xishan Camp.

In Zhong Tianlang's view, after the second uncle came, he would be able to fight more calmly after that. Compared to the boring battle of footsteps, he prefers to come and go like wind in riding warfare.

however,

Zhong Wendao's face did not show the slightest joy. Instead, one hand stubbornly grasped the bricks on the wall, and his nails made clear marks on the bricks.

"father?"

Zhong Tianlang was a little frightened.

What every son fears most is actually his father's anger.

"Haha............hahaha............hahaha............"

Zhong Wendao laughed,

"Before we set off, my father told your uncle again and again that the Western Army, one hundred and fifty thousand men will go northward, it is enough, and we must leave some old books for the Western Army at home!

Your uncle had promised in front of his father,

but now……"

"Father, the great cause of fighting against Yan, our Zhong family can't...can't..."

Zhong Wendao suddenly stared at his son,

This terrifying look frightened Zhong Tianlang's heart.

"Do you want to tell your father that you must consider the overall situation, the country and the people, and don't care about the gains and losses of one family?"

"No, the son doesn't dare, the son doesn't dare."

"That's what you mean, that's what you mean!"

Zhong Wendao gritted his teeth, his silver-white hair fluttered slightly in the cold wind.

"Xishan camp is almost mobilized, but I haven't received any news for my father, and I have never seen the court approval. Do you know why this is?"

"son……"

"This must have been sent by the imperial court to hand over with your uncle in person! Your uncle is going northward by decree, ha ha ha, ha ha..."

"father……"

"For my father, I have old bones. I should have been old enough to be a grandson. In order to do a good job, I have to put on a shirt and lead the western army to the north.

Where's the court, where's the court?

He is busy dividing up the Western Army, and dividing up the family! "

Zhong Tianlang was silent.

The imperial court has always wanted to resolve the issue of the Western Army's vassal. This is a fact that everyone knows. This time the imperial court took advantage of his father's absence and instigated his uncle to go north. This move actually marked the separation of the Western army from now on.

Xishan Camp will no longer belong to the Western Army and will go out independently.

"Father, the son has something to say, even if the father wants to punish the son, the son will have to say it."

"You say it, let you say it for the father!"

Zhong Tianlang took a deep breath and said:

"Father, our western army is really too big."

The southwest battlefield was under the control of the Western Army, and the northern Qiang was under the control of the Western Army, and even for the rebellion in some places, the court had to transfer the Western Army to take charge.

"Big?" Zhong Wendao suddenly smiled: "How old are you. The Western Army that put down the Southwest Chieftain's rebellion back then was really big.

Son, the father knows what you want to say, and the father knows what you mean, but there are some things you haven't experienced, so you don't understand.

It's wartime now, because the Yan people can go south at any time, so the lords in the court are so easy to talk.

Once the battle is over, once the battle is over,

Civil and military, it is natural to start to separate families. "

What else does Zhong Tianlang say,

But Zhong Wendao raised his hand to stop,

"Do you really think that you hate your uncle for being a father?"

"This……"

"Do you really think that for my father this time I deliberately didn't adjust Xishanying to go northward, so as to leave a back path for my Zhong family? Leave a bargaining chip for my Zhong family to settle down?"

"father………"

Zhong Tianlang suddenly discovered that his father seemed to be drained of a lot of energy at once, and his whole person looked much older.

"Ha ha ha... ha ha ha ha... ha ha ha ha ha..."

Zhong Wendao laughed again,

"The mates who had evaluated the dynasty at the beginning:

All of them thought they had read a few books on warfare~lightnovelpub.net~ and thought they were reincarnated as soldiers. "

…………

On this day,

30,000 Xishan Camp of the Western Army rode into the three sides;

On this day,

Zheng Fan did not choose a color;

A fallen swordsman and an old man with a long sail came to the outside of Yanjing City. The old man should have caught a cold and sneezed:

"Snee!"
