Devil’s Advent

Xueguan’s school upholds the tradition of the previous Shengle City. Every month, children will come to the school for five days and will not attend classes. Instead, they will go out of the school under the guidance of Mr. Xie to participate in extracurricular activities.

Sometimes I organize to go to the barracks, watch the soldiers training, help feed the horses and wipe the armor, and then have lunch with the soldiers;

Sometimes I would go to the workshop and help with small jobs for a day, and lunch would be settled with the workers in the workshop.

Basically, the production and operation activities under the entire Earl's Mansion, except for the red curtains who are not yet young,

The rest of the places can become the target places for the students of the school to experience life.

There are no idlers in Xueguan, unless you are really too old to move, otherwise as long as you can still move, you will be assigned to work, such as sweeping the streets or something.

Liu Dahu's grandma needs to be in charge of cleaning up an area of ​​Chengbei Street.

From the perspective of future generations, people who live here or in the area under the control of the Earl's Mansion feel that they are really tired, but in fact these people have no complaints.

They have all experienced wars and wars, and they have eliminated the touch of hypocrisy. At the same time, these three words, being able to eat, seem simple, but they are also the lifelong pursuit of most people in this era.

You can ask them to do whatever they want as long as they have enough to eat.

Today, Liu Dahu and the children of the same age were taken by the instructor to the construction site in the south of Xueguan City. Rows of residential houses were built neatly, and the divisions were as strict as square grids with larger ones. checkered.

This mandatory unified pattern and symmetry reflect the obsessive-compulsive disorder in the design and composition of Uncle Zheng, a painter.

The construction of private houses is actually not complicated, the materials used are not very good, the construction period is also very fast, and there are many folks involved in the construction, but in terms of quality, there is still a lot in terms of sheltering from wind and rain and not suddenly collapsing and killing people. Great guarantee.

Because whoever participated in the construction of which piece will be registered and recorded, and the name of the inspector, the small foreman and the workers below are all recorded.

It is clearly stated that if there is any quality problem in the house in the future, all registered persons will be implicated. If there is a major problem, such as killing someone, the builder will be fined, and the inspector and foreman will be punished.

Not only in this respect, the weapon workshop of Xueguan is also the foundry bureau. Not to mention every set of armor, every spear and every knife will have a mark on it, indicating who is in charge. If there is a problem with the quality of ordnance, it will inevitably be held accountable.

In fact, these details are not the first creation of the Earl's Mansion, but the blind man copied some systems of the Qin Dynasty.

Today, these students, including Liu Dahu, will work as small workers on the construction site, and there will also be a special small foreman who will lead them to explain. It doesn't matter how much they can understand, but at least it has broadened the children's horizons in advance.

After all, after they are sixteen years old, they will basically participate in these industries, and because they can read and write and know how to count, and at the same time they grew up under the love of Uncle Zheng, their loyalty is engraved on In essence, in the future, under the Earl's Mansion property, it will be easy to achieve the position of the little boss.

Because Liu Dahu also exercises his body under the guidance of the Juggernaut on weekdays, although he can't talk about exercising his muscles and bones because he is too young;

But his strength and size gave him an advantage among these students. After grouping, Liu Dahu became the group leader, leading more than 20 students to carry some small bricks.

Only halfway through the work, everyone felt the ground under their feet trembling.

For a moment, both adults and children turned their gazes to the southwest, where a dark dark cloud appeared.

No,

It's cavalry!

The Xueguan Yan army in charge of supervision and cruising around took the initiative to spread out, and made a posture of preparing to meet the enemy, but soon, the posture of facing the enemy was lifted, and the Yan army that had dispersed before began to turn back, and at the same time cooperated with some Earl's officials on the construction site The officials began to maintain order and clean up the official channels.

The bewildered ordinary people on the surrounding construction sites made a swing in their hearts, suddenly lifted it, and suddenly dropped it.

Most of them are no strangers to war, but most of them still don't want to fight, at least, they don't want to fight on their own doorstep.

Liu Dahu took a few of his classmates and squeezed forward to the side of the official road, wanting to see the excitement, although he was stopped by the soldiers, he had already seized the front seat.

The first one to come over was Uncle Zheng, who rode first.

The soldiers and civilians in Xuehaiguan all know that their uncle does not wear special armor because he does not want to be special, and is equal to soldiers.

But it is very easy for everyone to recognize it, that is, in the entire Xueguan, no one can ride a Pixiu except Uncle Zheng, and the one under Uncle Zheng is still a Pixiu!

When Zheng Fan marched over,

Except for the soldiers who maintained the official order, all the soldiers and civilians on both sides knelt down:

See Uncle, Uncle Fukang!

See Uncle, Uncle Fukang!

Uncle Zheng waved his whip and made a bang in the air, which was regarded as a response to the soldiers and civilians paying homage to him. Afterwards, the horse did not slow down, and directly entered the south gate.

And the person who followed Uncle Zheng, many people have already recognized him as a confidant general of Uncle Zheng, Jin Shuke, who used to guard the east gate of Shengle City, was later appreciated by Uncle Zheng for his military exploits all the way. Get promoted.

Among the Xuehai iron cavalry, there are quite a few barbarian soldiers, and Jinshu can be regarded as the highest-ranking and most influential one among the barbarian soldiers.

As for the barbarian next to Jin Shuke who was wearing another standard armor and had long hair, everyone felt a little strange.

Brother Ke Yandong was a little nervous. On the one hand, the city wall of Xueguan gave him a sense of oppression. After all, there were basically no cities in the desert except for a royal city where the royal court was located. On the other hand, it was because of the previous The scene of kneeling soldiers and civilians made him feel a little swayed.

The Ke Yan tribe is not considered a small tribe. Gritting their teeth, they can forcibly cobble together 10,000 people who control strings. However, the barbarian tribe has this kind of hierarchical culture, which is strict and strict, but it is definitely not as refined as the eastern countries. , especially here at Xueguan, in order to satisfy Uncle Zheng's personal preferences and enjoyment, he has actually worked hard on etiquette.

It's like they are all kings. On your side, during the meeting, everyone drinks and eats meat together and even plays wrestling in person. On the other side, there is a dragon chair on top, and all the civil and military officials kowtow in unison below. This feeling, in fact are different.

Because of Uncle Zheng's direct entry into the city, Jin Shu didn't dare to do too much to the soldiers and civilians kneeling around him, but controlled his horse speed and followed Uncle Zheng into the city gate.

after that,

It was the warriors from the Keyan tribe who rode in,

And because Uncle Zheng had already entered the city, the people on both sides of the official road also got up, and everyone couldn't help but began to comment on this new-faced army.

Where did this beggar soldier come from?

A child named Li Erniu next to Liu Dahu laughed.

Liu Dahu replied to him:

It's barbarian soldiers, barbarian soldiers, coming up from the desert in the west.

desert, barbarian,

Jin people are actually very strange to them.

Because between the state of Jin and the desert, there is a state of Yan blocking it.

However, what Li Erniu said was indeed correct. The cavalry team entering the city in front of them really looked like an army of beggars.

The tribe of Ke Yan's tribe is actually still behind, and there are still more than ten miles away from Xuehaiguan. These 7,000 warriors were mobilized by Zheng Fan in person and ordered Ke Yandong to be mobilized in a short time.

These tribal warriors were basically migrating with their families before, and they might even be holding their children. As a result, under the sound of the bugle, they immediately put down everything in their hands and were summoned to gallop together. It can be said that Is not the slightest preparation.

Naturally, it cannot be said that he tidied himself up properly when he made his debut. The dust accumulated after the long-distance migration is so clear.

At the same time, many generals at that time had analyzed the Zhenbei Army's ability to suppress the desert for a hundred years, and these analyzes basically cannot avoid two elements.

One is the ordnance and equipment of the Zhenbei Army, and the other is the military discipline of the Zhenbei Army.

Since the decline of the royal court, the desert can be said to be a mess. Even if multiple tribes are forced to gather troops, they are actually fighting on their own;

As for ordnance and equipment, this is really impossible.

More than a hundred years ago, the barbarians in the desert were not as hard-pressed as they are now. The barbarian royal court in its heyday led the warriors of the desert tribes to the east and fought against Yan. Break through the iron hooves of Yan and step into the east;

To the west, it has crushed the western countries, and even accepted a large number of western countries as its own vassal states, providing food, armaments and other dividends that can only be provided by urbanization and farming civilization to the barbarian warriors.

That period of time was actually the most prosperous period of the barbarians.

But the flowers are not red in a hundred days, the royal court's westward expedition failed, and its status plummeted. The western countries dominated by the Roman Empire rose and began to actively compress the living space of the barbarians in the east;

In the east, since the first Marquis of Zhenbei established the Zhenbei Army, the Yan Kingdom began to gradually occupy a dominant position in the battle between Yan and barbarians.

For a while, the barbarian's neighbors in the east and west began to suppress him and beat him, which made the barbarian's life more and more difficult. The embargo of iron, ordnance, and technology was the same policy of the east and the west towards the barbarian.

That's how the Beggar Army came about.

In Keyan's department, except for a few warriors who are qualified to wear armor, most of the rest are only wearing leather clothes, and many people's arrows are ground out of animal bones.

This kind of poor state, and the savages who didn't enter the customs at the beginning, are really the big brother who doesn't laugh at the second brother.

On the other hand, Uncle Zheng, since the establishment of the army with hundreds of barbarians, has been investing a lot of money in ordnance and equipment.

Therefore, the soldiers and civilians in Xueguan have long been accustomed to this kind of excellent military appearance.

Moreover, people always need some sense of self-superiority to increase their daily happiness. Not to mention these common people, even the soldiers and generals of the barbarian origin in the Xuehai Navy, after looking at the beggar outfits of the compatriots of the Keyan tribe, immediately felt Sending a contemptuous smile to poor relatives.

The warriors of Keyan's department also clearly felt the abnormal atmosphere around them. It could be seen that they wanted to make the queue more orderly, but because they hadn't rehearsed beforehand, the more they wanted to be orderly, the less orderly they would be.

At the same time, their identities are also a bit embarrassing for this place, because they know that Xuehaiguan will be the place where they and their families will live and survive in the future. For the people here, there will always be a kind of complicated emotion in it.

They are not enemies, but... neighbors?

The barbarians, who are accustomed to tribal life, actually have no clear concept of neighbors in this broad sense. In the desert, two tribes next to each other are often wary of each other, for fear that one day the other party will annex themselves .

Woooooooooo!!!

The bugle sounded again,

This is the signal to speed up the march.

...

In the dark underground cell, there is a black table.

Opposite the table was an iron fence. Savage King held onto the iron fence with both hands, watched a familiar figure slowly approaching, and sat down behind the table.

So fast? the Savage King asked.

Since the last time the Savage King told the blind man about the situation in the snow field and the situation of various tribes, the Savage King has been left here for a long time, and no one cares about him.

Asking so quickly, does it mean that it is about to start?

Summer is not over yet, autumn is still far away.

The blind man said:

Naiman Department.

The savage king, holding on to the fence with both hands, smiled,

road:

Knock or win?

Genocide.

Has it been announced?

Announced.

Then be quick.

The Savage King said straight to the point.

How fast? asked the blind man.

The sooner the better. The Savage King continued: It takes time for the alliance between the various ministries in the snow field. The division of spoils needs to be agreed in advance, and there are also oaths and sacrifices. The warriors also need to be called, which will delay a lot of time. Now that it has been announced If we want to conquer the Naiman tribe, we must act quickly, and we cannot give them a chance to unite several tribes.

After the Naiman tribe is eliminated, other tribes will no longer speak out for a tribe that no longer exists.

The blind man nodded,

road:

It's already fast.

………

So fast, go directly to the battlefield?

When the Ke Yan tribe started to enter the city, the north gate of Xueguan had already been opened. Zheng Fan didn't stop at all, and rode out on the Pixiu directly from the spacious official road that crossed the north and south gates.

Brother Ke Yandong, who was following Zheng Fan, originally thought he was going to the city to take a rest, but who knew that he would go directly through the south gate and then exit through the north gate, so he couldn't help asking about Jin Shuke.

actually,

Alchemy doesn't know anything,

But he didn't want Brother Ke Yandong to feel that he didn't know,

So I just pretended to be deep and said:

Just follow my uncle's orders.

After leaving the North City Gate, Brother Ke Yandong saw rows of simple shacks in front of him.

Some shacks have boiling water, while others have steamers, which are steaming and fragrant.

Zheng Fan rolled over, led Pixiu to a shack, and took three big steamed buns and a bowl of broth at the same time.

Then he led Pixiu to the other side and began to gobble it up.

The same is true for Jinshu, who got off his horse to get food, and Ke Yandong who was beside him followed suit.

In front of the hut where the steamed buns are distributed, there are barbarian soldiers standing, many of them are disabled and wounded.

However, it is convenient to face the people of Keyan's department at this time, after all, everyone can communicate in barbaric language.

How many steamed buns do you want?

Brother Ke Yandong: I want them all.

…………Soldier.

Jin Shuke opened his mouth to remind: This is hot food, and you will receive dry food before you finish this meal.

The barbarian soldier who distributed the steamed buns didn't know Brother Ke Yandong, but as if he saw himself before, he smiled and said:

Here, as long as you are full.

Then come ten.

Okay, ten.

After receiving the steamed buns and broth, Ke Yandong and Jin Shuke came to Zheng Fan together. When they walked over, Uncle Zheng had already put the last bit of steamed buns into his mouth, and then picked up the soup bowl to pour the last bit of steamed buns into his mouth. The soup was down.

After seeing the ten steamed buns in Ke Yandong's arms,

The corners of Uncle Zheng's eyes twitched unconsciously,

Suddenly, I felt a little distressed about my food storage.

But I have to let others have enough to eat, and I can't appear petty, so I can only leave one sentence:

Don't waste food.

Yes, uncle.

Brother Ke Yandong happily imitated Zheng Fan's previous appearance, squatted down with Jin Shuke and started to gobble up the same.

The warriors of the Ke Yan tribe who followed behind also started to get steamed buns and broth, and then imitated the way of the people in front, squatting down to eat and drink.

When the Keyan tribe migrated, there were local officials of Yan State who provided food and grass along the way, but the food would definitely not be very abundant, and not only the soldiers needed to eat, but everyone also dragged their families with them, and the consumption was even greater. Most of the barbarian warriors In fact, it has been a long time since I was full.

After finishing the meal, the warriors of the Keyan tribe received fried noodles from a hut further north, and at the same time used boiled water in a pot to fill their water sacs.

Several barbarian soldiers who were in charge of filling water bags for the warriors of the Keyan tribe joked in the tone of someone who had come here:

You guys are out of luck. I didn't make it in time to take a bath. The soap is smooth and fragrant. It should be arranged for you when you come back from the war. Remember to save it. It's very expensive. It's in the shops in the city. It’s expensive, but women just like it.”

The old barbarian soldiers recalled the scene when they formed a team to pick up soap when they first came.

Liang Cheng came to Zheng Fan on horseback,

Zheng Fan was sitting there,

Light an after-dinner cigarette,

at the same time,

As always in every march and battle,

Ask Liang Cheng:

Next step, what should I do?

………

The next step is to drive straight in!

The blind man said calmly:

more specific.

The Savage King stretched out his hand, pulled the beard and hair covering his face, and said sonorously:

The location of the Naiman tribe is to the north of the deep pool in the snowy plain, to the east is the Cuoge tribe, and to the west is the Anyang tribe.

The main force of the Anyang tribe once entered the pass with me. Now, all the warriors in the tribe are lost, and now they will be swallowed up by the Naiman tribe. According to the Xueyuan rules, when your tribe is annexed, your population will be absorbed as slaves, and then immigrated to the tribe to manage the original Belong to your ranch.

Therefore, the west side of the deep pool, originally under the control of the Anyang tribe, must be very empty, and only a small number of people from the Naiman tribe are guarding it.

On the east side of the deep pool, the Cuoge tribe and the Naiman tribe have a very deep relationship by marriage. They even united with the Naiman tribe to oppose me at the beginning, and did not send warriors from the tribe to follow me into the pass. The warriors in the tribe are still there. .

Therefore, from the west side, the army can drive straight into the hinterland of the Naiman tribe!

The blind man nodded and said:

continue.

The Savage King stretched out his arms, as if he was not standing in a cage at this time, but standing in front of the map, commanding his own army:

The leaders of the Naiman tribe are short-sighted, but all the tribes that did not follow me into the customs in the past, don't look at them now that they have made money and become powerful by annexing other tribes, but in fact their leaders are all short-sighted people.

The core pasture of the Naiman tribe is to the north of Shentan.

Now that the uncle has issued an explicit order to conquer the Naiman tribe, the Naiman tribe will inevitably send envoys to contact other nearby tribes for help, and at the same time, gather their own troops.

Over the past few days, the Naiman tribe has grown rapidly by merging other tribes, but there is a hidden crisis. The number of warriors in its headquarters has not increased much. The increase is slave soldiers and soldiers belonging to the tribe.

Therefore,

When conquering the Naiman tribe,

First use a surprise soldier to go around the front line, from the flank, no, it is better to cut into the Naiman pasture from the rear, and plunder and kill their cattle and sheep.

The warriors of the Naiman tribe on the front line will definitely return to the ranch. At that time, the uncle's main force will command a decisive battle.

The defeat is complete, and the victory is set!

The blind man quietly watched the performance of the Savage King,

After the Savage King stopped,

The blind man said:

Do you want to inform other tribes?

Notify the other tribes? Warn them not to stand on the side of the Naiman tribe? Or ask them to send troops to help Dayan Tianshi strangle the Naiman tribe?

I'm asking you.

The most terrifying creature on the snowfield is the wolf, which is the nightmare of all herdsmen at night.

The wolf is proud, and what the herders are afraid of is its pride. When you defeat all the existences that resist you, the rest will naturally crawl under your feet.

Therefore, since Uncle has sent Xueyuan his will to strangle the Naiman tribe, there is no need to contact those tribes for the rest. When the Naiman tribe is destroyed, they will not be sad, but will be more Kneeling respectfully at the uncle's feet, licking the uncle's boots!

This is Xueyuan, and this is our saint race, a group of... low-minded people.

Hehe, are the savages really as bad as you say?

Snapped!

The savage king clutched the iron fence with both hands,

Smiling at the blind man,

road:

Hehehe, hahaha!

immediately,

The Savage King stood on his heels to make himself look taller, then stuck out his tongue and licked the rust stains on the railing,

The mouth stretched between the two iron pillars again,

road:

It wasn't originally,

But when they lose me, they're a bunch of crap.

Goodnight everybody.
