Devil’s Advent

v2 Chapter 75: Chicken ribs

  "So, this is like the end of a movie in the Huang Feihong series, like the words Huang Feihong said after participating in the Lion King Contest:

   We won the gold medal, but lost the country? "

   Zheng Fan said while drinking tea.

In front of   , Xue San was roasting meat, Fan Li was helping to stack firewood, Liang Cheng sat on the side and watched.

   After the end of the battle, the Yan army marched east again, and never suffered any further resistance from the Savage King's subordinates. What they encountered on the road was basically sporadic resistance from the local Savage tribe.

   Then, news came that Cheng Guoxue customs had been breached.

   Jingnan Hou ordered the army to stop marching eastward and stationed on the spot.

   This garrison is different from the previous battle to replenish energy. This time it is purely because this battle cannot continue at all.

   Xue San handed the half rabbit that had been roasted to Zheng Fan, and said:

   "Lord, at first, this Situ family thought it was hanging, but I didn't expect it to be a daunting man."

   "What's the matter?" Fan Li shouted.

   "Eat your meat!"

   Xue San turned his head and continued to say to Zheng Fan:

   "Lord, if this is the case, this battle is really difficult to fight, do we have to go back to the class?"

   "I don't know, I have to wait for Jingnan Hou to make up his mind, Acheng, what do you think?" Zheng Fan asked.

"Lord, this battle is probably really not going to go on. If we continue eastward, our soldiers and horses will probably be blocked by the heavy soldiers of the Savage King. Previously, we were able to break through all the way because of the focus of the Savage King. It has been on the front line of Xuehai Customs, and now, he can free up his hands.

  Furthermore, the loneliness of the army in the snowy field is a very dangerous thing. Recently I discovered that the number of sick soldiers in the army has begun to increase.

   The most important thing is that we no longer have an exact strategic goal. "

   Zheng Fan was listening while drinking tea. Since entering the snow, the meat is really greasy, and he needs tea to scrape the greasy inside of his stomach.

   "It's not easy to handle, it's not easy to handle."

   Zheng Fan sighed, this is obviously a victory all the way, but it turned into such a situation.

   The snowy field is too big, so big that you want to rule and want to play some "subjugation of the country and extinction", the cost is too heavy for you to bear.

   Liang Cheng opened the mouth and said:

   "Unless Emperor Yan is willing to use the same courage that he had when he went south to the country, mobilize more than 300,000 iron knights, and then enter the snowy field. For this reason, it takes two years to completely destroy and settle the snowy field."

   Zheng Fan immediately said: "This is unrealistic."

  You can get population and wealth when you fight in a country; you can get land when you fight in Jin.

  What can I get by hitting the snowfield?

It is also possible. For example, there must be a lot of cattle, sheep and horses seized this time. It is almost enough to feed Zheng Chengshou and the powerful landlords near Shenglecheng. But think about the 300,000 army going out. A terrifying logistical burden, when the time comes, the cattle and sheep captured will not be enough to eat.

Moreover, if that savage king played a guerrilla war with you, played a game that left the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, deliberately not fighting you, deliberately avoiding you, it would be impossible to make 300,000 iron rides on the snowy field and Are they playing cat and mouse games?

   Facts have proved that the Savage King did do such a thing.

  Ten thousand steps back and said, even if the snowy field is really calmed down, how to rule such a vast and desolate area?

   Ten or twenty years later, there will be repetitions. It’s okay if the suppression continues. If the suppression does not continue, all the hard work and effort will be wasted.

   At this time, a soldier came over.

   "Master Zheng, Master Hou calls you over."

   Zheng Fan nodded, indicating that he knew.

   Xue San picked up a freshly roasted pheasant and said:

   "Lord, take this with you, there are chicken ribs in it, you can make a golden sentence."

   The demon kings also worry a lot about the Lord's performance in front of big people.

   Liang Cheng retorted mercilessly:

   "How did Yang Xiu die?"

   Xue San stopped talking.

   Zheng Fan gestured with a few subordinates with his eyes, did not go to get any chicken ribs, first straightened the armor, and came to the handsome account.

   In the handsome tent, Tian Wujing was sitting alone, reading a book in his hand.

There is a stove next to   . Soup should be simmering on it, which is quite fragrant.

   Waiting for Zheng Fan to get closer, only to find that Tian Wujing was holding the "Zheng's Art of War".

   Zheng Chengshou's old face immediately blushed.

   Seeing Zheng Fan came in, Tian Wujing put down the book in his hand and motioned Zheng Fan to sit down.

   Zheng Fan sat down, Tian Wujing pointed to the book and said:

   "The situation on that day was very similar to the "Empty City Plan" in your book."

   When the blind man helped Zheng Fan "write a book and write a book," he added Sun Tzu's art of war and thirty-six strategies.

   "Master Hou..."

"Ugh."

   Tian Wujing let out a sigh.

   In Zheng Fan’s impression, Tian Wujing seldom shows such emotions. He has always been like a rock.

   "The situation has been eroded. You may not know that Xuehaiguan heading south is equivalent to a plain river for the savage. At the worst estimate, the savage has already raged in less than half of the country."

"So fast?"

   "This is nothing fast or unpleasant. Starting more than a hundred years ago, the Jin people have already built their own castles and castles on the snowy field.

   Therefore, although the snow customs is a throat that stuck the snow field and the land of Sanjin due to the terrain, in fact, it has not been the front for the Jin people to guard against the savages.

   Because of this, when Xuehaiguan goes south, the Jin people have no important town or defense at all. "

   The Jin people have been bullying the savages for hundreds of years. After the Situ family has established the status of the largest clan in the eastern part of the Jin Kingdom, they have also continued to develop abroad.

There are Tianduan Mountains in Jin and the Snow Plains for natural blocking. The road from Shengle City to Snow Plains is actually a better way to cross the Tianduan Mountains. Otherwise, there will not be a trade route here, and the Tianduan Mountains are the most On the east side, there is a smooth road that directly connects Xueyuan and Jin, and the gate on this smooth road is the Snow Customs.

   But because the front line was pushed to the snowy field early, the Snow Customs has a very good geographic location, but strategically, it has not been taken seriously for nearly a hundred years.

After a series of failures in Chengguo, after almost ruining the city and stronghold on the snowy field outside the customs, I thought of the importance of the snow customs. Who knew it was another wave of delivery, and the snow customs was also lost. Then, the savages went south and became It's really smooth.

   "You said before that you want to lead an errand to suppress the savages in Shengle City. I'm afraid that it won't happen. The situation in Chengguo may be more serious than expected. It can't stand it, and it's hard to say.

If the Situ family did not hold on, half of the land of the Three Jins would be reduced to the savages’ pastures, and the savages would also master various techniques such as Jin’s craftsmen. Their warriors could also wear armor and would not be like this anymore. The opponent he faced was so fragile. "

   "This is a major event, and you will know how important it is at the end."

  Before, savages were just a minor problem, and just beating and beating from time to time, Zheng Fan could take this errand.

   But right now, savages are likely to become a major disaster, and the court of Yan Kingdom cannot allow Zheng Fan to deal with it. A general will definitely be arranged.

   Chengguo has not been destroyed, and the situation has not completely collapsed, so the court is likely to let Li Bao's move to the front line of Xinsucheng.

   If the situation continues to worsen, Hou Jingnan will have to go to the Tongzhen line in person.

   "The savage king is indeed a character. This time, it can be said that it has not sent enough troops. It can also be said that the savage king exchanged what he wanted with the least price."

   "Don't worry about Lord Hou, it really doesn't work. We will fight back from the border of Situ's house in the future and take the Xuehai Customs back again."

   "This is something that the court will consider, but in the final analysis, it is not all bad. If you can't face such a situation, the Situ family will probably choose to ask your Majesty to include it."

   is attached, that is, the whole country will vote, submit to you, and surrender to the throne.

  Because in this war, Yan Guoyi did not take advantage of the fire, and the second he sent troops to help you. It can be described as a perfect score in terms of humanity and morality;

   The second is that at the moment Chu State does not mention internal strife, even if Chu State has no internal strife, there has been intermittent friction between the Situ family and Chu State for decades, and it is impossible to seek help from Chu State.

   As for Qianguo, let’s not talk about the combat effectiveness of the Qianguo army. Even if the Situ family is willing to ask for it, Qianguo is willing to send troops. Believe it or not, your army has just left the country.

   Therefore, the Situ family now only has the option of enclosing Dayan.

With this calculation, the benefits of the Yan Kingdom this time are still great. Of course, the premise is that the Situ family cannot be taken away by a wave of Liu, otherwise the Yan Kingdom, which has just ended the Three Kingdoms War, will go to clean up the mess in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. .

   "Master Hou, I really can't figure out how can the Situ family be so stupid?"

"Here, there are internal factors. What is the specific situation? I have to wait for the military report to come from there in the future. However, Benhou guessed that Situ Lei's father killed the throne, which caused the internal division of Situ's family. Situ Lei was the head of the old family. The third son, although not a direct son, is the most outstanding one, and is also recognized as the future successor of the Situ family.

   His two elder brothers were kicked away by him early, and he was famously known as guarding the snowy field to prepare for side troubles and protect the family. "

   "So, here..."

"It's still unclear for the time being. Let's see if there will be news that Situ Lei's two brothers died in battle. However, in the first investigation of the Savage King by the Missy Division, there was speculation that the Savage King and the Situ Family The eldest son and the second son of China have a very close relationship. In front of them, they pretended to be righteous grandchildren, calling them both grandpa and grandpa, and they also have close business dealings with those two sons."

If this is the case, then the Situ family’s defeat is really not wrong~lightnovelpub.net~ Of course, you can’t blame Situ Lei for destroying the Great Wall, because no one could have predicted that the savages will become a climate again. Originally he Those two brothers were just thrown out and distributed away from the political center.

   There is another person, that is, the Savage King, who can really put it down and recognize Situ Lei's two elder brothers as grandfathers, which is more licking than acknowledging sons.

   But this can be regarded as licking up.

   Tian Wujing pointed to the pot on the small stove next to him, and said:

   "Stop talking about this, have some chicken soup?"

   "Hou Ye's chicken soup, I will still drink it at the end."

"Ah."

   When Zheng Fan was about to get up to serve, Tian Wujing raised his hand to signal Zheng Fan to sit down. He picked up the pot with his hands and put it on the table, took two more bowls, and began to serve the soup.

When    was serving the soup, Tian Wujing took out a piece of chicken ribs and put it into Zheng Fan's bowl. At the same time, he asked:

   "Chicken ribs, do you like it?"

   "Like it!!!"

   Regardless of the hotness, Zheng Fan stretched out his hand to pick up the chicken ribs and gnawed it with his teeth.

   Tian Wujing shook his head and said:

   "It's just the chicken ribs, there is no meat, and there is no taste."

   "Master Hou, I have eaten a lot of meat these days, so I want to eat something tasteless and press down, I like it!"

"Ha ha."

   Both picked up their bowls and drank the soup slowly.

   After I have finished drinking,

   Jing Nanhou gently put the bowl on the table,

  道:

   "Withdraw troops tomorrow."
