Chapter 735: Arrive in South Narcissus Township
Shang Ran led the left army to 25,000 troops to Nanshuixian Township, and built a camp in the southwest of Xianxiang near the north bank of the Manze. The entire army was divided into ten armies, with each army of 2,500 troops stationed along the north bank of the Manze.
Soon after he was stationed, Feng Yuelan came with a team of about twenty people, explaining the situation and serving as her guard.
"Miss, have you ever heard of Jin Ling?" Since he had just arrived and had a lot of affairs, Shang Ran did not receive any news about Jin Ling.
"Your Highness doesn't know yet?" Feng Yuelanqi said.
"What should I know?" Shang Ran was also surprised.
So Feng Yuelan defeated Jin Ling to the Hualang Gang and told him about the fact that everyone from the gang leader to the gang members was wrapped up.
"This guy is crazy!" Shang Ran said angrily, "If you don't follow the army south, you will do these things instead! He is worried that the Second Prince will not find his handle, right?"
"Don't worry, your highness, although the Second Prince and the Southern King are furious, His Majesty the Lord has not punished him." Feng Yuelan said.
At this moment, a messenger came to report: "Report to the commander, the deputy commander led the Jinyuan subordinates to arrive! Please indicate the location of the camp!"
"He also brought a thousand people?" Shang Ran snorted coldly, "Yes, if you wrap around like him, the Flower Wolf Gang can bring three hundred people. Well, let him camp behind the Seventh Army, and then ask the deputy commander to come and see me immediately, right away!"
Soon, Jin Ling hurried over and looked sweaty.
Of course the sweat was not real. He washed his face before he came.
"Hello, Your Highness." The young man said with a smile, "Ha, Miss Feng is here too."
"I am now the captain of Your Highness's guard." Feng Yuelan said expressionlessly.
"It's good, it's good." Jin Ling smiled, "With Miss Feng as the captain of the guard, Your Highness's safety must be foolproof. I was worried about this before."
"Don't be smiling in the military tent." Shang Ran coughed, "Deputy Commander of Jin, I heard that you coerced the Hualang Gang to my left army? This is what you said, a private matter that is beneficial to the Southern Expedition?"
"Now, they are the advance team of my Jinyuan army. There are 300 more good players in the army, one-third of whom are immortals, and their combat power has increased greatly. Isn't that a good thing?" Jin Ling said.
"They are just people from the gang, never received military training, nor have military discipline. When fighting, they are just a mess of sand." Shang Ran said.
"Please rest assured, your highness, I will be fine." The young man seemed confident.
"Okay, please be sure to make them work hard as soon as possible." Shang Ran said, pointing to a combat map on the case, "Before you come, I had already discussed the situation of the southern expedition with the commanders and generals of the ten armies. We decided not to rush to advance, and to station troops here, train soldiers to explore every day, avoid the barbarian swamp terrain, collect civilian boats and fishing boats as ferries, and let soldiers train water battles every day. This was what I did before I conquered the Shangui tribe. What do you think?"
"It's good to play steadily." Jin Ling nodded. He walked to the desk, looked at the map carefully, and slowly frowned.
"What's wrong?" Shang Ran asked.
"Where did this map come from?" Jin Ling asked.
"It is based on the military maps that were explored by the Barbarians and collected in the past two years, and the maps of the north and south sides of the near-manzee and north and south sides were revised. The ones used in the military are all like this." Shang Ran looked at his face, "Is there anything wrong with it?"
"It's okay." Although Jin Ling saw the inappropriateness in the map, he did not say it clearly. Jinyuan has strong intelligence collection capabilities, and Yang Lisheng also started collecting the Manchu Ministry early in the morning. The map of the Manchu Ministry drawn by Jinyuan is much more detailed and accurate than this one. On the map of Jinyuan, there is an accurate scale concept, which makes the terrain distance very accurate.
The deviation of this map is huge. According to such a map, various uncertainties will increase greatly.
After Abeli was developed into a spy by Yang Lisheng, he also provided a lot of useful terrain information. These are also not available in the map of the Northern Jin Kingdom.
"You also know the difficulties now. The Northern Jin Kingdom borders the Three Barbarians, with waterways across all kinds of swamp areas. Not only do I need to use a large number of military ships and civilians, but I also need to train soldiers' water combat capabilities and the ability to explore the swamps and escape from the swamps. Because most barbarians have extremely shallow water depths and it is difficult for ships to dock. When soldiers get off the ship and go ashore, they have to face a large number of swamp crises." Shang Ran said with a little distress, "The last time I conquered the Shangui tribe, there were more than 2,100 people in the 10,000 people, and they died in various swamps."
She stroked her forehead and was very sad. "Now I feel so nervous when I think of the soldiers who are swallowed by the swamp and have no bones."
"When you fight, there are no one who will never die." Jin Ling hurriedly comforted her, "And, you made great contributions last time, even the temple of the Mountain Ghost Tribe was broken by you, and you also got the Shan Ghost Sword Technique."
"Don't laugh at me, that's just a miserable victory." Shang Ran shook his head, "Besides, you know that the Shan Ghost Sword Technique was not what I got, but what the national teacher got. It was just that he held my hand and handed it to you."
"Your Highness, it is right to take steady steps now. Your Majesty ordered us to attack Baiyue tribe, and then join forces with the right army to attack Shangui tribe. The opponent has the right time and place, so it is not cost-effective to attack rashly." Jin Ling said, "And your Highness also knows that Baiyue tribe, I am afraid that we already know our march route."
"What?" Feng Yuelan shouted in surprise.
"There is nothing surprising. The two armies are fighting, and they do everything they can. Send to do things in detail and buy each other's officials. It is normal." Jin Ling said, stretching out his hand and yawned long. "Your Highness, you have been exhausted these days and have not had a good rest. Please let your subordinates go back to Caoyuanju Inn, Nanshuixiancheng, to have some rest and eat something."
Seeing Shang Ran's eyebrows stand up, he immediately explained: "It's not only useful to sleep and eat, but also useful to Nanzheng!"
"Really?" Shang Ran was skeptical.
"Really, I have a large number of industries in Nanshui Narcissus City and a very secretive intelligence network. Only by taking over these things will it be more conducive to this southern expedition." Jin Ling nodded with a serious expression, "Besides, with Miss Feng next to His Highness, Your Highness is safe, so my subordinates can deploy everything with confidence."
Shang Ran finally let him go.
Looking at the background of his departure, Feng Yuelan asked, "Your Highness, do you really trust him?"
"I have known him for a while, so I naturally believe in him. Moreover, he has never disappointed me. Besides, my father asked me to go with him." For some reason, Shang Ran sighed quietly.
