Devil’s Advent

v4 Chapter 4: Zheng Family

"My lord, in the past few years, my subordinates have set up 36 military forts, 12 in Luzhai, and 6 in Shuiye, south of Fancheng.

  

  The three points of the military castle card, if the Chu people make big moves, we must be able to know in time here.

  

   Luzhai is located at the traffic throat;

  

   If it is our army's main attack, the foundation for advancement has been established.

  

   If the Chu army comes to attack, our army can advance forward, relying on the army’s formation and retreating. These stockades hinder the Chu army’s offensive and consume slowly, gaining calm preparation time for the main city of Fan.

  

And in the water village, unless the Yan Guo navy is looking for support from the south of the Yangtze River, I am waiting here, and there is no big ship that can compare to the Chu navy, but the medium-sized ships have some size, and the small boats are definitely enough. Although it can't beat Chu's navy frontally, it can also be used to block the river and disturb the enemy's army, as far as possible to eliminate the Chu people's navy advantage in our place. "

  

   Thirty-six fortresses sound scary, but in fact they are the "checkpoints" of the branches on the periphery, which act as "beacon and raging smoke", which is equivalent to the "eyes" arranged outside.

  

  Lu Zhai is the foundation. After all, whether it is the Yan Army in the traditional sense or the Jindong Army today, the real advantage lies in the cavalry;

  

In order for the cavalry to exert its real mobility advantage in war, it is necessary to survey and master the terrain in advance. Otherwise, with the terrain of Chu, it is easy for the cavalry to fall into the quagmire or be divided or blocked. Under the predicament.

  

"well-done."

  

   Zheng Fan kept nodding his head as he watched Gou Moli showing himself the military layout map.

  

   "In addition, the chief and subordinates also used Fan Cheng as the dispatch point and made three combat plans."

  

   "Speak."

  

  "First, Fancheng soldiers marched eastward, and along the road where you went to rescue Fancheng from the west of Zhennanguan, you opened up Fancheng and Zhennanguan in one fell swoop, cutting off the northern part of Chu State.

  

  Secondly, our army advanced from Fancheng to the direction of Daze in the southeast. After passing Daze, we approached the place where Yingdu was, imitating the law of the Lord's surprise attack on the capital of Chu country, and took the fundamental vitality of the Chu people.

  

   Third, our army came out of Fancheng, relying on the Qishan Mountains, all the way to the south, cutting the connection between the Chu people and the Qishan Mountains. "

  

   Zheng Fan sat in a chair, after listening to Go Moli’s three strategies, he pondered a little.

  

  道:

  

"Fighting east from Fancheng, completely opening up the front line between Fancheng and Zhennanguan, it is really useless. It is useless to expend our army's power in this seemingly connected new development territory, but it actually reveals the soft flesh of the belly. , Will give Chu people too many opportunities."

  

Fighting is not as simple as changing the color of the land on the sand table, nor is it that the more land you occupy at the beginning, the more you gain. The basis of victory is to eat the elite that the opponent can pull out of the field, and wait until the opponent has no confidence. During the field battle, they began to concentrate their superior forces to cover the battlefield and focus on pulling out the big city.

  

The advantage of the Yan people has always lie in the mobility of the cavalry. When the same field army confronts, it is often the Yan people who have the advantage, and when they prematurely covet the early battle achievements and take the initiative to annex a large area of ​​territory, it seems to be "a good success." How much force should be allocated to garrison these newly occupied territories? How much mobility will you consume yourself?

  

   And once your own forces are dispersed and the territory you need to take care of spreads out, you will become Chu people and come and go freely on your “turf”.

  

Just like when the two kings of the North and the South opened the Jin Dynasty, after directly defeating the two elites of the Helian family, most of the Jindi cities will be followed by the spread. First eat the site, easy to indigestion, eat the other party first. Only when the main force is elite can you really sit down and digest gracefully.

  

   Gou Moli nodded and said; "The Lord is wise."

  

  Zheng Fan pointed his finger at the map and said, "Secondly, sending troops from Fancheng, crossing Daze, and then entering Yingdu, not to mention the long distance, it is the most difficult way to walk.

  

   Since the King of Jingnan burned down Yingdu, the people of Chu had become extremely concerned about the defense of the capital, for fear that our army would copy the battle again.

  

Therefore, if our army goes from Fancheng to the southeast, there is a high probability that it will fall into the Chu people’s layers of resistance and consumption. Once the army loses its spirit and the soldiers and horses are exhausted, this winding Daze is likely to become the army. Land of destruction. "

  

   Gou Moli nodded again: "The Lord is wise."

  

  Wise is really wise, this is not flattery.

  

  With Liang Cheng by his side, and under the tutelage of Tian Wujing, Zheng Fan’s military skills have long been no longer low, and there are many opportunities for personal exercises over the years. The war has gone through one after another;

  

   It can be said that Zheng Fan’s current military quality has long reached the level of a first-class commander.

  

   "The third...going south to cut off the Qishan Mountains. If you can go south to the extreme, it will increase the difficulty of ‘interconnecting existence’ between Yan and Chu once the battle begins."

  

Since the Kingdom of Yan annexed the land of the Three Jins and formed a pattern of tigers occupying the north, the four great kingdoms of Zhuxia have gradually evolved into the form of the Three Kingdoms. Under this form, the second and the third joined forces to fight against the boss. It is the general trend.

  

   Although there are occasional suspicions, it still can't stop the cognition of "lips and teeth cold".

  

   Different from the Three Kingdoms, it is probably that the "Chibi Battle" that could have occurred in Liangdi caused by the annihilation of Li Fusheng's army was defeated by Zheng Fan himself and failed to become a reality.

  

   So, once Yan starts a war against Chu again, won't the Gan Council support Chu?

  

Definitely.

  

  Although Yanren has never looked down upon Ganren, all kinds of fables and stories like to be placed on Ganren;

  

   But Ganren, especially the court of Qianguo, are not fools.

  

   Once the situation changes, Yan Chu will fight on the front line, and the gangster will give Chu a blood transfusion in the back. This will have a very negative impact on the war in Yan.

  

   After all, it's okay to do other things besides fighting.

  

Although in the past ten years, the north of Qianguo has been baptized by the Yanjun iron cavalry many times, its truly affluent core area... Jiangnan has not actually suffered any damage from a single soldier. In short, the blood tank of the dry people is still very good. thick.

  

at this time,

  

   Zheng Fan and Gou Moli are both standing on the wall to the south of Fancheng, the map being held every day.

  

   The Prince Regent stretched his finger to guide the north two directions,

  

  道;

  

  "There are some checkpoints, which are the place to be confined, Zhennanguan, Xueguan, and Nanmenguan. Whoever holds these three checkpoints can control the progress and retreat freely and take the initiative in the situation.

  

   Fancheng is not so.

  

   Fancheng is a nail buried by our palace in the Chu land. Its function is to pierce it out at critical times to achieve the greatest support and auxiliary effect for the entire battle. "

  

Because here in Fancheng, even if it was attacked by the Chu people, it would be difficult for the Chu people to pass through here to use troops on the Jin area. Although there are rivers to walk, the rivers were only rough repaired, and they did not experience the construction of the Grand Canal like Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty. In that way, a large amount of manpower and material resources were assembled for development and consolidation.

  

   Therefore, even if Fancheng is lost, the Royal Mansion only needs to arrange a certain scale of soldiers and horses north of Mengshan to block the tentacles extended by the Chu people with a high probability;

  

   And Fancheng here is not suitable as the main battlefield for sending troops, because regardless of the logistical pressure or the release of the battlefield environment, Fancheng can't compare with Zhennanguan.

  

   If the Yan-Chu war reopens, the real main force will inevitably depart from Zhennanguan instead of Fancheng.

  

   The role of this force in Fancheng is to play support, not only to play out a sense of existence, but most importantly, to play out the cost-effectiveness.

  

   "My lord, my subordinates understand." Gou Moli smiled and said, "Actually, my subordinates have been thinking about one thing all these years, and please forgive me."

  

"Say."

  

"The master rushed to the snow customs for thousands of miles, and achieved the peak of the Jingnan King's miraculous effect on the frontal battlefield. The subordinates are thinking, if the subordinates and the masters change positions, can the subordinates make the masters back then? The same results."

  

   "You humble yourself."

  

  Zheng Fan has always defined himself as a "flower in a greenhouse", no matter how good he feels about himself, he can't feel that he is better than the Savage King who fights the world with his own hands in military and political affairs;

  

  Don't say anything else, just one, he Zheng Fan can't endure this bitterness.

  

  "The master, the subordinates have visited Qishan several times in the past few years, and have established some relationships with some people. Therefore, once the war starts, the subordinates can swear by the stables,

  

   It’s hard to say anything else,

  

   Isolate the exchanges between dry and Chu,

  

   subordinate,

  

can do it! "

  

   Zheng Fan stretched out his hand and patted Gou Moli's shoulder, and said, "With your words, I'm relieved."

  

   "Thank you, Lord, for your trust."

  

   "I also give you another promise that after the unification of all summers, the savages will also merge into all summers."

  

   "Thank you, Lord!"

  

   Seeing that the conversation between the prince and Gou Moli came to an end, Liu Dahu, who already had a beard, came forward and reported:

  

   "Lord, the princess is still waiting."

  

  The three guards around Zheng Fan, Chen Xianba and Zheng Man were released;

  

   Chen Xianba is at Zhennanguan, Zheng Man is at Snow Customs.

  Only Liu Dahu, Zheng Fan asked him twice, and he clearly expressed the idea of ​​not wanting to be released, which means that the prince cannot be served by no one else;

  

   Therefore, he has always stayed with Zheng Fan as a personal guard, and now he is the head of personal guard, a bit similar to the role of a handsome accountant secretary.

  

   "Call the big girl."

  

   The regent Dayan, who had previously discussed the war with a serious face, suddenly softened his facial expression when he mentioned his daughter.

  

   This girl of my own family is his weakness.

  

   After a while,

  

   has waited for a long time before getting the big girl summoned by his father, she ran over without any dissatisfaction and grievance on her face, but with a smile on her face:

  

   "Daddy, Daddy, the girl misses Daddy."

  

   It was she who ran away from home, and she took the initiative to run away with her younger brother, but now she still thinks about his father.

  

   There are obvious problems with logic here, and it is impossible to justify it, but no one cares, and Zheng Fan will naturally not care;

  

  Who told you to spoil her?

  

   "Ouch, girl."

  

   Zheng Fan picked up the girl. This age of children is when they are growing up, and they can change a lot if they don’t see each other in March.

  

   The big girl put her arms around Zheng Fan’s neck and kissed Zheng Fan’s face twice:

  

   "Father, is your mother okay? Does your mother miss me?"

  

   "Very good, I said you are gone, the house is quiet, and you can spare more time every day to play cards with the ladies."

  

   "It's not grin, Daddy lied to me, Daddy lied to me."

  

"Ha ha."

  

   Zheng Fan gently stroked the back of the girl's head.

  

   "Did the big girl bother Dad and Uncle Gou talking about business?"

  

   "No, Dad and your Uncle Gou have already negotiated. Girlfriend, this is your first time in Chu country, right?"

  

   "Father, isn't it?"

  

   "Huh? When have you been here before?"

  

   The big girl pointed to the black dragon flag and double-headed eagle flag road hanging on the upper floor of the city wall:

  

   "Isn't this the territory of the country of Yan, or the territory of Dad? This is also our home, but our home is too big. People just walk from the home in Fengxin City to the home where Uncle Gou helped us to see."

  

   In short, I am not running away from home, my home is too big.

  

   Gou Moli smiled immediately when he heard this, and said: "Lord, the princess is right, our family is big."

  

   immediately,

  

   Gou Moli said to the princess again:

  

"It will be bigger in the future, so our little princess is here to recognize the door specially this time. After saving it, this house has been expanded several times, and then it is suddenly unclear. The princess has a foresight. what."

  

  Rao is the big girl, no matter how thick-skinned, she can't stand the "boast" of Gou Moli in front of her father and brother Tiantian, so she has to stick her face on her father's chest.

  

  嗔道:

  

   "Father, Uncle Gou is making fun of others."

  

   "It's too late for your uncle Gou to like you, how could he make fun of you?

  

   It's you, don't rely on Uncle Gou to like, just toss you uncle Gou here willfully. "

  

   "I won't grin, they are very good."

  

   Zheng Fan knows this girl well.

  

   seems austere, a bit carefree, but in some respects, it really inherited her mother-in-law.

  

   The crow didn't know that his family was dark, and the regent didn't even think about the child's squeamishness, who inherited it.

  

   But, it’s pretty good too;

  

  I hope that my daughters will be naive, but she must not go too far and become silly. My daughters do not have this problem.

  

   Zheng Fan put the big girl down,

  

   The big girl walked back, facing the person sitting over there who was drinking tea, leaned over and bowed down:

  

   "The disciple visits Master."

  

   When the regent and his generals were discussing matters, there was only the old neighbor who could sit beside him without anyone else.

  

   Juggernaut leaned forward, put his hand on the girl’s wrist, and frowned slightly.

  

  道:

  

   "Slacking off, these days, no luck."

  

   The girl stuck out her tongue a little embarrassed.

  

The sword master is also a little helpless. Once this female apprentice inherited by her own Longyuan is different from the sword maid, the sword maid’s temperament is still lonely, but this female apprentice is the most coquettish, and can coax herself and her maid. Turns around, resulting in the style of his rigorous teacher has been unable to grasp;

  

   What's even more frustrating is that the physique of the fire and phoenix spirit boy is like three days of fishing and two days of surfing the net, and he is also making faster progress in the early stage than those swordsmen who are diligent and conscientious with the belief that iron rods are ground into needles.

  

   Plus those gentlemen in the palace, they really value His Royal Highness more. Everyone in the palace knows this, but this does not mean that the gentlemen will obviously favor the little princess.

  

   Teaching one is to teach, to teach two, that is, to do things together, but not to be harsh to the big girl like his Royal Highness.

  

But I think of the most honest and honest man in the palace. Back then, he could learn his sword skills through the drills of the maidservant, and he was able to show it with an axe. Therefore, he is the master of a big girl, but the big girl has never been around. I'm missing someone to make up a lesson.

  

at this time,

  

   San Ye and Zheng Lin also came over.

  

   Zheng Lin appeared,

  

   The smile on Gou Moli's face gradually disappeared.

  

  The Royal Highness of the Prince's Mansion pays much attention to etiquette, but this does not mean that he likes those tedious etiquettes, but his own character, which fits his position very well, that is... arrogant.

  

   Therefore, every time when dealing with His Royal Highness Shizi, Gou Moli would be very careful and know how to measure.

  

   This kid is young, but he can always give him the feeling of seeing the blind man;

  

   In the entire palace, whoever Gou Moli fears most is really not the prince, but the Mr. Bei who once tortured him to death.

  

   smiled together,

  

   and Zheng Fan.

  

   It’s not that Zheng Fan doesn’t want to be a loving father. In fact, whether it is for Tiantian at the beginning or for the big girl later, Zheng Fan is a loving father who can spoil his child.

  

   But for this biological son, it really gradually evolved into the degree of frowning subconsciously when he saw him.

  

Zheng Fan also analyzed the reason with Siniang. He felt that Xu Shi Tiantian was too good at that time, so well-behaved. Besides, the big girl is also a girl, and she is the dad’s favorite girl, and she likes the little padded jacket. That is justified. Didn’t the daughter slave and daughter slave come like this?

  

   In the case of comparison, this son of my own family may feel a little awkward even if his left foot steps up to the threshold first.

  

   However, there is another very real reason. Zheng Fan didn’t say it, and Si Niang couldn’t do it:

  

   That is, my own son is an out-and-out little devil.

  

   When I think of how other demon kings looked at themselves at the beginning, and then correspond to this son, it is actually very easy to understand.

  

   An ordinary father can say to his son:

  

   How about if it wasn’t for how many years I raised you...

  

But it happened to be my own, born 9th grade, even if you throw him away in the mountains, check again after a dozen or so years~lightnovelpub.net~ It can’t be said that this kid has become a savage tribe’s little boy. The boss, also married the daughter of the old man.

  

   However, in the past few years, under the training of his parents in mixed male and female playing extravagant brother singles, this kid will not lose face in public occasions.

  

   Zheng Lin knelt down and saluted:

  

   "The sons and ministers pay respect to the father, the father is a thousand years old!"

  

   "Get up."

  

   "Thank you, Father."

  

   The father and son looked at each other in silence, and brought down the atmosphere here.

  

   Fortunately, everyone is used to it.

  

  If the regent looks at Tiantian as if the mother-in-law sees her son-in-law, and the more she likes it, the more she looks at him, then it's really a bit of an old father-in-law who looks at her son-in-law with hatred, and at the same time keeps a decent smile.

  

   immediately,

  

   Zheng Fan faced the south and said:

  

"Although you are still young, you are the princely son of the royal palace after all. I see that there will be a war soon. For my father, I am going to go on an expedition. You have to be like a man, be more stable, and take good care of your family. It is the responsibility of the son of the world."

  

   Zheng Lin nodded seriously.

  

  道;

  

   "There are ministers in the house, please don't worry, father, go."

  

   "..." Zheng Fan.
