It was summer, and the sun was scorching... Zheng Chaoer led his troops and rushed all the way, in order to help Nanping defend the city before Jarvis. On this day, they arrived at the foot of Ma Tou Mountain near Nanping, and after walking for less than half an hour, suddenly something happened in front of them.
A pile of rubble was found blocking the road. It was thought that the huge boulder washed down the mountain by rain recently and happened to fall on the road. Zheng Chaoer couldn't help but frown. There were so many rubbles that if the soldiers were ordered to clean them up, it would take at least half a day. Now.
He was in a hurry, and if he arrived late, he might let Jarvis get there first.
As he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw a boy carrying a frame walking across the mountain. He was as agile as an ape, and he hurriedly asked people to call him down. This boy was about twelve or thirteen years old, with some mud on his small black face.
, his eyes rolled rapidly, he looked at Zheng Chao'er and said, "Your Majesty, would you like some honey? The wild honey I just picked is so sweet!"
Zheng Chaoer said: "Let me ask you, is this road going to Nanping?"
"Yeah~~" the boy said, "It rained heavily a few days ago, and the rocks and mud from the mountain washed down and blocked the road."
Zheng Chaoer asked: "Is there any other way to go to Nanping?"
The boy said: "There is a path that goes around Wudi Valley behind the mountain, but it's not easy to walk. There are still two streams to flow. But the noble man has horses..." He glanced behind Zheng Chao'er and felt envious.
He looked at his tall horse and said, "It's easier for a horse to walk."
Zheng Chaoer said: "Since you recognize it, take me over and give you fifty copper coins."
The boy said again: "Don't tell my mother, okay? I want to go to the market to buy... buy..." He blushed and stopped talking.
One of the generals laughed and said, "Could it be that you want to buy something for your little wife?"
The boy's face immediately turned as red as a steamed crab, and he twisted his neck and said nothing.
The general laughed even more: "Do you really have a little wife? His hair is not even long, but he actually wants to have a wife!"
The boy pouted and said, "I'll be old in a few years!" All the soldiers laughed.
Zheng Chaoer smiled and said: "That's all, I won't tell your mother. You just lead the way."
One of the soldiers said: "General, why don't you go with him to explore the road first?"
Zheng Chaoer nodded: "That's fine."
The boy then led the soldiers to find a trail, but Ziliu disappeared. After waiting for more than half an hour, the two of them came back. The soldiers smiled and said: "It's not that far, but the road is very narrow and it's not easy to walk.
.There are many of us, so we have to spend some time."
Zheng Chaoer said: "As long as there is a road, we have never walked on any road." He gave the boy fifty copper coins, and he happily ran away with the money.
The soldiers then led the way, and tens of thousands of horses entered the valley in a mighty manner. After walking for half an hour, the soldiers pointed to the front and said: "Not far from the valley, there is a road leading to the main road to Nanping.
." Zheng Chaoer nodded.
At this time, Zheng Chaoer was shocked when he heard the sound of "dong dong dong" drums: "Why does it sound like a military drum?" Before he finished speaking, countless soldiers and horses poured out of the valley mouth in front and blocked the way. There were two poles.
The flag was raised high, with the word "Jia" written on one pole and the word "Lin" written on the other pole. Zheng Chaoer shouted: "No, I fell into a trap!"
The general said hurriedly: "General, the terrain is so difficult that one man can block it and ten thousand men can't open it. Let's retreat quickly!"
Zheng Chaoer smiled bitterly and said: "We can't withdraw. It's obvious that this was a trap set by Jarvis. The rocks and soil blocking the road must have been made by his people. His people must have blocked the rear." Nai urged.
Go ahead now...
I saw a general in his twenties coming to the front of the enemy formation and shouting from a distance: "Is the person coming from the opposite side Mr. Zheng, the General of the Fujian Army?"
Zheng Chaoer said: "Yes, I am."
The general cupped his fists and said, "Jarvis, the last general, is polite."
Zheng Chaoer also clasped his fists: "General Jia is well-deserved and has a good plan."
Jarvis said: "The plan was devised by my family's military advisor Lin, and Weiss dare not take credit for it."
Zheng Chao'er praised: "As the old saying goes, soldiers need speed, and it's true. General Jia is so fast. Could it be that you have already been to Ningde?"
Jarvis nodded and said: "I just came from Ningde. I only invited the Ningde County Magistrate to come to our camp for two meals and then sent him back."
It was obvious that the Ningde County Magistrate had been captured alive and released... Zheng Chaoer suddenly felt a little embarrassed and said: "I just didn't calculate that you were faster than me, so I was unprepared."
Jarvis said: "Just as the military advisor expected, General Zheng miscalculated the marching speed of our army and was totally unaware of it. He therefore felt that it was purely an accident that she had planned the plot, and he was dissatisfied with it."
Zheng Chaoer sneered and said, "Does the commander still want to convince me?"
"That's right." Jarvis said, "I just want the general to be convinced. In that case, let's fight again in Nanping." He made a gesture. There was only a "boring, banging, banging" sound, and the enemy camp shouted gold and retreated. Jiavis made a gesture.
Weis didn't even say a word, and took the men and horses away!
Zheng Chaoer stood on the spot in astonishment. For half a day, the general just couldn't help but muttered: "There is nothing accidental about marching and fighting. If someone plots against you once, you will die. There is no second life."
Zheng Chaoer sighed after hearing this: "You are right. If this Military Advisor Lin really wants my life - where Jarvis stood just now, bows and arrows may not be able to reach it, but fire and spears will definitely reach it."
An ignorant soldier behind him said: "Since they have withdrawn their troops, don't they want to be enemies with the general?"
Zheng Chaoer shook his head and nodded, saying: "They really don't want to be our enemies, but they are really our enemies." He sighed again.
Another general said: "General, do you think they have captured Nanping?"
"Of course." Zheng Chaoer said in a low voice. Then he led his troops out of the valley, reorganized themselves, and headed for Nanping.
I thought it would be a fierce battle to attack the city when we arrived in Nanping. Unexpectedly, the city gate was opened wide, and the county magistrate led people to greet him at the door. When he saw Zheng Chaoer, he cried: "Master Zheng is here!"
Zheng Chaoer asked: "Where is Jarvis?"
"I just left." Nanping County Magistrate said, "I probably left to go to Sha County."
Zheng Chaoer frowned and said, "Why did he just tell me that we would fight again in Nanping?"
The Nanping County Magistrate said: "General Jia asked his subordinates to tell General Zheng that they wanted to have a fight with the general in Nanping. Because their military advisor Lin wanted to eat Shaxian snacks, they will not fight today. They broke camp and went to Shaxian.
I will meet the general again at Sanming in the future."
Zheng Chaoer was stunned for a long time and asked, "Have you seen that Military Advisor Lin?"
"I have only seen him from a distance," said the Nanping County Magistrate. "He is a weak scholar, not a weak scholar. He is as handsome as a girl, a hundred times more beautiful than an ordinary girl! Sitting in the lobby of our county government office,
His whole body is filled with the air of a talented man; when he gives orders to Jarvis and others, his sharp energy bursts out like a sword."
Zheng Chaoer said: "Do you know his name?"
The Nanping County Magistrate shook his head and said: "Jia Jun only calls his surname 'Lin Junshi'."
Zheng Chaoer smiled bitterly and said: "This kid obviously doesn't take me seriously - what kind of Shaxian snacks are you eating?" Because he was ambushed today, his morale was a little low, so he ordered to rest in Nanping County for a night to recuperate for tomorrow.
Go to Sanming again.
The next day, Zheng Chaoer led his troops out of the city for a day's journey. Seeing that the sun was about to set in the west, he chose a gentle mountainous area to set up camp and buried pots for cooking. At midnight, he suddenly heard the sound of gold and a sudden light on the mountain.
There was a large torch. The soldiers on guard at night beat the gong and shouted "enemy attack". Zheng Chaoer got up in a hurry, and the soldiers helped him put on his armor and get out of the tent, pick up his gun and mount his horse.
Seeing that the flags raised on the mountain were "Jia" and "Lin" again, he urged his horse to come closer. As expected, Jarvis sat upright on the horse again. He cupped his fists and said, "General Zheng, long time no see."
Zheng Chaoer said: "Didn't we just meet yesterday?"
Jarvis said: "It's past midnight, and that day should be counted as the day before yesterday. I just want to ask General Zheng to go somewhere in the mountains with me."
Zheng Chaoer asked: "Is there something wrong with General Jia?"
"Yes." Jarvis said, "There is a lake on the mountain. Our army has dug aqueducts and set up Western artillery. Just waiting for the general's order and three cannon shots, the lake bank bursts and the water floods down.
It’s just a vast ocean.”
Zheng Chaoer took a breath and looked at Jarvis carefully for half a day. He knew clearly in his heart that Jarvis didn't want to kill him. So he gasped and said, "I'll go and see with you."
Jarvis picked up the horse's reins and said, "The last general will lead the way for the general." He patted the horse and walked in front.
Zheng Chaoer only took a few soldiers with him, leaving the soldiers behind him to guard the camp, and followed Jarvis all the way up. Jarvis pointed out: "This is the aqueduct dug by our army. In fact, there are not many dug.
, It’s just that the original waterways of this mountain have been closed or opened.” Walking halfway up the mountain, there was indeed a huge lake, so dark that it was difficult to see the distance.
Zheng Chaoer stood by the lake for half a day and asked, "Is this also your military advisor Lin's plan?"
Jarvis said: "Does General Zheng think that our military advisor Lin really went to eat Shaxian snacks? This place is still under the jurisdiction of Nanping County. The general told the general at the end of the day before yesterday that we will fight again in Nanping."
Zheng Chaoer praised: "The military commander is good at using the mountains, rivers and terrain, and he appears and disappears, he is a genius."
Jarvis said: "General Zheng must have mistakenly believed that our army had left again and was not prepared?"
Zheng Chao'er said: "That's not the case. I've caught you all and told you to be careful. If you rob the camp tonight, you may not be able to get any benefits. I can't prevent you from diverting water down the mountain like this. You are setting up camp with me.
Were the aqueducts dug later?”
"No." Jarvis said, "We started digging a few days ago." Zheng Chaoer was startled. He then explained, "General Zheng asked us to block Ma Tou Mountain the day before yesterday. The morale was damaged, and the men and horses he led were
There were many more. I thought there would be a big battle when we arrived at Nanping County, but it turned out to be an empty city. Moreover, the enemy army was decided by the military advisor. The military advisor was a young scholar who was not a weakling. He ran in front of the formation just to eat snacks. Such a situation
, most generals would order to stay in Nanping for a night’s rest, and General Zheng is no exception.”
Zheng Chaoer smiled bitterly and said, "He even included this."
Jarvis smiled proudly and continued: "Calculating the marching speed of your army, we can know that the general will be stationed here tonight. Military Advisor Lin walked around the mountain twice, and according to the military manual, the best place for the general to camp.
"
Zheng Chaoer was stunned. After a long while, he asked: "How did he calculate how fast our army was moving?"
Jarvis said: "General, just go straight out of Fuzhou. It's the fastest way. Just send someone to follow you and you can figure it out." Nai smiled and said, "Do you remember the black boy selling honey?"
Zheng Chaoer was shocked: "He actually followed us!"
Jarvis nodded: "This boy is not bad. Both the military advisor and the general like him very much."
Zheng Chaoer waved his hands and sighed: "That's it, I lose this battle again."
Jarvis clasped his fists and said, "In that case, we'll see you tomorrow." He turned around and started to leave.
Zheng Chaoer suddenly asked: "Why is General Jia so fast?"
Jarvis said: "The baggage is much more convenient than General Zheng's."
Zheng Chaoer asked again: "Does your military advisor want to imitate Zhuge Liang's seven captures and seven attempts to subdue me?"
Jarvis stopped his horse and circled back, and said calmly: "My Military Advisor Lin knows that the general is a veteran on the battlefield and has no intention of subduing him. I just want the general to understand."
"Understand what?"
"If Fujian goes to war with Taiwan, it won't be difficult for her to win." After saying that, she rode away.
Zheng Chaoer stood behind and watched helplessly as he led his troops away. After a long moment, he sighed: "Not only is it not difficult, it is actually very easy."
That night Zheng Chaoer was restless. Then he stopped rushing and walked a little slower. He arrived at the outside of Sanming County without incident. The city gate was closed tightly, and the flags raised above were already "Jia" and "Lin".
Needless to say, Military Advisor Lin has been waiting here for a long time.
Zheng Chaoer sent a scout to explore near the city gate. The soldier came back and said, "Their military advisor Lin is very strange."
"What's weird?"
The scout said: "There are many rubbles and bricks outside the city gate. I asked two people living nearby and they said that soldiers and horses from Taiwan government attacked the city three days ago. Their county magistrate had captured the city early because we sent it from Fuzhou.
The urgent news came, so I prepared bows and arrows, rolling logs, rocks and other materials, thinking of defending. Who knew that the people in Taiwan had Western artillery, and it took only half a day to blast open the city gate. Those rubbles and bricks were the result of that incident.
He took what his son had left behind and opened the way with Western guns and guns. In the blink of an eye, he entered the city and occupied the county government office."
Zheng Chaoer sighed: "Rongguo Mansion is rich! Western artillery..." He shook his head.
The scout added: "Commander Lin of the Taiwan Prefecture immediately posted a list to levy the people, saying that they had borrowed the money and would not take a needle or a thread from the people. In the past two days, their soldiers were paid according to the price for their meals in the city, and some people taught their children."
Recognize the characters.”
Zheng Chaoer was stunned. After a while he asked: "Why is the city gate complete?"
"In addition to posting a list to calm the people, Military Advisor Lin also posted a list to recruit workers: because the city gate is broken, it must be repaired quickly to prevent tigers and wolves from entering the city and taking away the children. The wages they paid were extremely high. Not only did they have enough to eat, they also had food for every meal.
Meat! This city wall was repaired in just one day."
Zheng Chaoer smiled bitterly again.
"It's just that the things they used to repair the city gate were not only ordinary mud bricks, but also something that looked like mud, stirred in water, wrapped in sand and gravel and used to glue the bricks together." The scout said, "No one has ever seen it in Sanming City.
Someone who passed that place, Military Advisor Lin, said that the wall was very strong and could not be easily destroyed by artillery."
Zheng Chaoer hummed: "If artillery is not easy to destroy, how can he use it to build walls for my city in Fujian?"
A side general said: "General, I'm afraid they sincerely showed us this thing."
"Um?"
The general said: "There must be many governments in Taiwan."
"Hiss..." Zheng Chaoer took a breath. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "This is in Fujian! My troops are surrounding Sanming to see how much food and grass he has!" (..)
