Repugnant Gateway

Converse strode into the frontier camp, the **** smell on his body was blown away by the wind. The soldiers who followed behind him, all with red on them, had not yet dried out the blood, and did not know how much came from the enemy and how much came from themselves. Although every soldier looked tired when he returned, his fighting spirit remained.

Anzheng divided the two thousand and four hundred border troops of Liulicheng into three teams and took turns to patrol the city. After he almost flattened Song Cheng to the ground alone, Zhao Jun's provocation became much less. It's just that because of the chaos at the border, the horse thieves and bandits also saw the opportunity, as if they all appeared in a flash.

When Converse entered the big tent, An Zhengzheng frowned slightly and looked at the map in front of him.

Seeing Converse coming in, An Zheng pointed to the chair next to him: "Did you not sleep for two days and two nights? Sit down and rest, and let Du Skinny take the soldiers out later."

Converse said: "Duke Guo, recently Zhao Jun has been a lot quieter. After all, under the dignity of Duke Guo, those Zhao Jun have scared their courage. However, the bandits are becoming more and more rampant. These two days have been fighting and annihilating. Several gangsters have temporarily settled, but there is no regularity in their contact, and blind strangulation is not a way. After all, many gangsters are actually people from Zhao ’s side. They came to our side. "

"Send someone to distribute the news, saying that Yan Guo is willing to accept them. But there is only one, who abides by the law of my big Yan, divides a place in Yan Guo for them to let them open up wasteland for farming, and the seeds and food are provided by Dayan . Those who do not abide by the Law of Dayan, no matter whether they are refugees or pirates, I have no amnesty to kill them. I will find a way for them to live in troubled times, but they ca n’t force the people of Dayan to die. "

An Zheng didn't lift his head and said something, and then pointed to the map: "I marked the places where the refugees or gangs gathered within a 300-mile radius. You will take a copy of the map later. , These places must be inspected closely. "

Converse said: "The subordinates obey the orders ... Recently, the calm of Zhao Guo's side, the subordinates think that it may not be a good thing. There are not many practitioners in the Zhaojun frontier, but there are more than a dozen large and small near Song City. Zongmen. The nearby Zongmen is just a good name. In fact, they are all the rivers and lakes mangled by Zhao Jun, attached to Song City. Now Song city is destroyed, if those rivers and lakes mang came out to do evil, I am afraid they are more than Zhao Jun. Be cruel. "

An Zheng said: "With me in, they dare not arbitrarily make trouble for the time being. The matter of appeasing the frontiers is now the top priority. Three hundred soldiers were drawn and stayed in the Tuntian land I planned. All from Zhao Guo The refugees coming from there are all placed there. These three hundred people are responsible for law enforcement and for protecting their safety. "

Converse said: "The elder subordinates have transferred 150 elite soldiers in the past, but there are a lot of refugees coming from Zhao Guo's side, no less than four or five thousand people. After a while, the subordinates will transfer another 150 people. In the past, a batch of grain was shipped by the way. "

An Zheng: "Human nature is difficult to explain clearly. Those migrants looked poor, but once the ugliness in human nature broke out under this seemingly desperate situation, it was more serious than natural disasters."

Converse sighed: "How come this world is suddenly chaotic."

Anzheng stood up straight and stretched: "Daxi is too big, and he can't bear Zhao Guo if he puts a little pressure on him. Daxi lets Zhao Guo attack Xi Qiang, and King Zhao dares not to obey. However, King Zhao also knew that this long war was enough to make Zhao Guo wipe out the country, he could only perfunctory Daxi. But this perfunctory can not be easily seen by others. Therefore, in the early stage, Zhao Guoguo madly arrested the border people, Build a fake army of hundreds of thousands of people. "

Converse said: "These hundreds of thousands of people will all die under Xiqiang's butcher's knife."

An Zheng nodded: "King Zhao is very clear that the death of hundreds of thousands of people is only a loss of national strength. And once Zhao Jun's hundreds of thousands of elites are all fighting with Xiqiang, it will be the destruction of the country."

He handed Converse a panacea: "Go to bed after taking it and take a good rest. Although this panacea is not a superb product, it has a certain effect on the recovery of vitality."

Converse hurriedly got up and took the Elixir with both hands: "Thank you, Grandpa Guo ... This is too expensive."

An Zheng waved his hand: "It's nothing. I'll supply such a thing in the future. Don't you want to use it."

An Zheng looked out the window: "Go and rest, no one knows what will happen suddenly on the frontier recently."

As he was saying, there were soldiers who ran in quickly: "Duke Guo, General Zou Shikai from the southwest frontier entered the city."

An Zheng said: "Just let him come to see me directly."

It didn't take long for the soldier to run out, and Zou Shikai, the Zhengpin general, entered the camp and almost ran in all the way. Before entering the door, he made a military salute: "Lord general Zou Shikai, meet Grandpa Guo!"

An Zheng beckoned: "Come and talk."

Zou Shikai made a big step forward: "After receiving the news from Grandpa Guo, he rushed over from Fengcheng overnight. On the way halfway, he encountered a Zhao Jun who entered the country, and he will take the accompanying team to fight. Killed 1,200 enemies and about 600 captives. "

An Zheng: "Do not capture."

"What does Grandpa Guo mean?"

Zou Shikai froze for a moment.

An Zheng: "All killed, the body was thrown back to Zhao Guo."

Zou Shikai said with some embarrassment: "According to the usual practice, the prisoners are generally not killed. And ... after all, the ally relationship between Zhao State and our Dayan is still there."

"What's wrong, I'm responsible."

An Zheng said: "First, we have no extra food to support the captives. When they came in, they murdered and arrested people. According to the law of Dayan, they should kill. Second, we had no extra force to guard the captives. Guarding them, there is no man guarding the people guarding the frontier. Third, the so-called ally relationship between Zhao State and Yan State ends when their soldiers step into my territory of Dayan. "

"What about captives?"

An Zheng asked.

Zou Shikai: "Both are outside the city, and they will bring 5,000 elites, and they will also be outside the city."

An Zheng uttered: "Kill, don't stay."

Zou Shikai turned around and commanded, but his heart was shocked. The young man named An Zheng is only 16 or 7 years old. Why is he so cruel? The ally relationship between Yan and Zhao has been maintained for many years. Although Zhao Jun transited, he did not dare to play the banner of Zhao Jun. And Anzheng directly wiped out a border city of Zhao Guo, and when he beheaded all the more than 600 Zhao army captives ... there was no room for reversion between the two countries.

It seemed that Zou Shikai's worry was visible, and An Zheng said lightly: "At this time, I am not in a mood to consider any matter of benevolence and morality, and there is no need to surrender or kill this matter. If Zhao Jun soldiers do not have It ’s natural to succumb to blood surrender, but it ’s possible to surrender without killing them. But these people have n’t had the blood of our Yan people in recent days? "

An Zheng walked to the door and looked outside and said, "I have arranged people to record my words and deeds in the southeast frontier. I will hand them over to the court in the future and present them to the king. So no matter what happens in this day, It has nothing to do with you, I will take care of everything. "

Zou Shikai hurriedly bowed his head: "Humble office does not mean this ..."

An Zheng waved his hand: "Now the strength is at a stretch, the five thousand elite you bring is just right. You are also familiar with the situation on Liulicheng, and you don't need me to say too much. You will see Converse tomorrow After that, a plan for making up defenses was drawn up for me. "

Zou Shikai bowed his head: "Humble and obedient."

An Zhengdao said: "The southwestern side has fewer troops. My Dayan is half a million elite in eastern Xinjiang, and on the borderline of more than 2,000 miles on the southwest side, the border troops and the garrisons everywhere are less than 50,000. Once there is a large-scale battle, there is simply no time to mobilize the troops. On the day I arrived, I had sent people to the east of Xinjiang in a hurry, and asked the generals to share their troops with them. But from the east to the southwest, The army must go at least a month. "

An Zhengdao said: "In China, even in Gyeonggi Province, we can no longer dispatch our troops. So, you have to keep at least 50,000 people in your hands for at least one month. Zhao Guo will not move. Get up, you are under a lot of pressure. "

Zou Shikai frowned: "Wang Zhao ... shouldn't we use large-scale troops against us?"

An Zheng: "Of course he doesn't want to, but it's not that he can make the decision at all. Daxi ordered that all the small countries attached to Daxi would fight against the Western Regions, and the king would never send troops. The war has just come to an end, and the people have not had time to recuperate. At this time, if they fight against the Western Regions, they do not know how many soldiers and how many people will die. But if the king refused Daxi ’s request ... "

Zou Shikai's face changed abruptly: "The reason why King Zhao murdered and arrested people on the frontier, even at the expense of our Dayan, is because he didn't dare to offend Daxi. Daxi's thunder can make Zhao Guo wipe out the country instantly. And if our Dayan refused Daxi's request ... "

An Zhengdao said: "Daxi will feel hurt, and not only face. Once our Dayan refused Daxi's request, and if he did not send troops to the Western Regions and Daxi had no sanctions, then other countries would of course be They will not send troops to the Western Regions. Daxi will not agree, so revenge will come soon. "

After all, Zou Shikai was in the army for many years, and was once Wang Kaitai ’s best man. He knew everything on the frontier. He was also very familiar with the relationship between Zhao and Yan. He responded before An Zheng finished: "So, once we Dayan refused the request of Dayi, then Dayi would force all the countries around us to pressure Dayan ... you country in the east, hegemony in the southeast, eternal country. South Korea in the south, Zhao country in the southwest, plus Zhuoguo on the west ... "

An Zheng ’s finger swiped across the map: “So, two thousand miles is still missing. Your 50,000 troops must be distributed in such a big place!”

His fingers stretched from the southwest frontier to the northwest frontier: "It is not necessarily Zhao Guo who first shot, maybe Zhuo Guo, or South Korea ..."

An Zheng took a deep breath: "In short, even if all countries are just doing things, we must strictly guard against it. What ’s more, the generals in the East Xinjiang and the Southeast will be under more pressure, although he has dozens of people under his command. Wan Dajun can face the three kingdoms of Youguo, Yongguo, and Hegemony, plus a Bohai State that is waiting for an opportunity to invade the Central Plains. "

Zou Shikai's face is getting worse and worse: "It is better to agree to Daxi's request than that."

An Zheng said: "The king will not agree."

Anzheng raised his head: "I wouldn't agree ... On the surface, it would be better to perfume Daxi to send troops to the Western Regions. But I really want to fight against the Western Regions. In only one year, the people of Dayan will starve to death! There are Yanshan Cangman Mountain in western Xinjiang, northwestern China, and northern Xinjiang. It is the sky. As long as the southwestern and eastern Xinjiang guard, the people can live at least. "

An Zhengang was about to continue to explain that a soldier hurried in from outside: "Governance Grandpa, something serious happened!"

The soldier's face was pale, his eyes full of anger and fear, so complicated.
