Devil’s Advent

In fact, Zheng Fan really didn't care much about the impact Ren Juan would have on the future after listening to his suggestion.

The reason why I said this to Ren Juan was just to show that I was with them.

After returning to the palace, Zheng Fan immediately sent someone to call the blind man and the others, and assigned the tasks assigned to him by the Marquis of Jingnan.

Afterwards, in the side hall next to the bedroom, he found an empty room and began to rest.

After falling asleep and waking up again, it was almost dusk.

When he woke up, he stretched himself, and Xue San's figure jumped down from the beam, saying:

Master, are you awake?

Zheng Fan nodded, looked at the sky outside, and said:

It's been a while since I slept.

My lord is tired.

hehe.

In fact, Zheng Fan knew that he was being lazy, but it didn't matter, who told his subordinates to be capable.

It's just that you are lazy and sleep by yourself, and there is another subordinate by your side to protect you.

Alas, if you want to say that the days of the Southern and Northern Wars have not been easy, but if you really want to say how painful it is, it is a bit hypocritical.

After Zheng Fan got up, he went out. Just as he was about to find something to eat, he saw A Ming walking over and handing over a brochure.

So fast?

Zheng Fan was a little surprised. After opening the brochure, he found that it was stolen property in Gyeonggi.

It is true that the centipede is dead but not stiff. Even though the royal family of the Jin Kingdom has been down and out for so many years, if you really scrape it with a knife, you can still scrape out a thick layer of grease.

Among them, 20% is my own, post it, post it.

At the same time, thinking that there is a layer of hidden accounts under this account, tsk tsk.

However, Zheng Fan still asked Ah Ming:

The wife of the Marquis of Jingnan is from the secret service department. What if she wants to check the accounts?

A Ming smiled and said:

Si Niang said, the Lord doesn't need to worry about this. This is a hasty search, and the person concerned may not even know how much he has been knocked out. Why don't you just do what you want?

okay.

Since Siniang is so determined, Zheng Fan also thinks there is no problem.

At this moment, Liang Cheng rode over and reported after seeing Zheng Fan:

My lord, the Marquis of Jingnan is looking for you.

knew.

Holding the booklet in one hand, Zheng Fan took the reins delivered by Liang Cheng with the other, got on his horse, and went to the side hall on the west side of Zhenghe Hall.

At the gate of the side hall, there was no large army of soldiers and horses stationed, only five soldiers.

The death of a tiger is still a threat, not to mention that Jingnanhou was only injured, even if he was injured, it was not something ordinary Xiaoxiao could do.

There was no need to report, Zheng Fan just exchanged glances with the soldier at the door, and the other party stepped aside, and when Zheng Fan opened the door to enter, he saw Jingnanhou sitting on a cushion.

Jingnanhou didn't sit in a meditating posture, he sat very casually. There was a small stove in front of him, on which hot water was boiling, and there was a set of tea sets beside it, which should have been collected from this palace.

Lord Hou.

Zheng Fan saluted.

Um.

Jingnanhou nodded, motioning for Zheng Fan to sit down and talk.

Zheng Fan was also polite and sat cross-legged on the ground.

How is it going? Tian Wujing asked.

When the leader gives you an errand and asks you how things are going,

If you ask three questions and don’t know what to say, then it’s really a vegetarian meal, especially if you don’t do anything in this position in wartime, according to military law, you really don’t deserve to die.

Fortunately, although Zheng Fan slept for almost the whole day, his subordinates have thoughtfully compiled the statistics for himself.

Master Hou, it's all here.

Zheng Fan handed the brochure that he hadn't finished reading to Jingnanhou.

Jingnanhou took it over and began to flip through it, one stroke at a time, one piece at a time, and he did it very meticulously by category.

Li Fusheng said that you did a good job in Chuzhou. This time, the Marquis specially asked you to try it. Unexpectedly, this job was really done very well.

Master Hou, this is the duty of the last general.

Well done is done well, don't be humble, besides, you are not a humble person.

Jingnan Hou put the booklet aside, and said:

In the morning, your reminder is very good.

Master Hou is very kind to the general. He has saved the life of the general several times. This is what the general should do.

This sentence, Ben Hou thinks it is true.

Every word that the general said to Lord Hou came from the bottom of his heart.

Look, this is a lie.

Lord Hou...

Hehe, it's not difficult for you, but this Marquis is really curious, knows how to fight, write books, talk, do accounts, and has a big picture to analyze the situation;

Zheng Chengshou, why did I, Dayan, have a talent like you?

Master Hou praised it absurdly. Compared with Master Hou, the last general is nothing at all.

We two don't need to be so vain when we talk.

It is the general who is close to you, Lord Hou, just like the younger generation wants to please the elders and say a few more auspicious words in front of the elders.

elder?

yes.

In your official career, Benhou didn't actually support you much. Everything you are doing now is still achieved by yourself. In fact, Benhou has suppressed you a lot.

How dare the general forget the grace of saving lives several times?

This is not a kindness. You are my soldier. It is only natural for me to save my subordinates.

Lord Hou...

You have blocked the road, how can I flatter you?

How many troops are left under your command? Jingnanhou asked.

If you go back to Lord Hou, the number of soldiers under the last general's command that can charge into the battle is only a thousand.

Fortunately, the Jin army's resistance was very weak and the damage was not large in the attack on Gyeonggi this time, otherwise Zheng Shoubei would not be able to gather even a thousand soldiers.

Do you feel bad?

Tian Wujing asked with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Zheng Fan nodded and said:

pain.

Zheng Fan's biggest problem now is that Dayan actually has two major field armies, one is the Jingnan Army and the other is the Zhenbei Army. The army is supported by Yinlang County.

Zheng Fan said that they are related to these two major field armies, but they do not belong to their sequence completely, so there is no way to directly obtain troops from them for replenishment after the war.

The reason is that Zheng Fan was originally supposed to belong to a local military faction like Xu Wenzu, but Zheng Fan wanted to pull the mountain to go out independently, which was tantamount to breaking the umbilical cord.

How could Tian Wujing, as someone who has experienced this, not be clear about this point?

Shengle City is still in the hands of the local wealthy family. Ben Hou will call Ren Juan later, and ask him to allocate a thousand horses to you to help you take Shengle City.

One Thousand Jingnan Army?

Zheng Fan immediately said excitedly:

Thank you, Lord Hou!

Don't be in a hurry to thank me. I only lend you for three months. After three months, this team will have to go back.

ah?

Zheng Fan was stunned.

Although borrowing for three months is already excellent, at first he really thought it was for himself.

Would you like it?

I want it, Master Hou, I want it, I want it!

Tian Wujing nodded, and said:

The location of Shengle City is very important. It is next to Situ's house, and at the same time, it is also close to the Tianduan Mountains. Beware of Situ's affairs. You don't have to do it. This Marquis will personally watch over it;

But there is one thing that you have to do for Ben Hou.

Your Majesty, please order!

Pay close attention to the situation of the savages. Although the savages are not as good as the savages, if I want to unify the three Jins in the future, I will inevitably face the problem of the savages.

Please rest assured, Lord Hou, the general will definitely fulfill his mission!

Well, I can trust your boy's ability to handle affairs. By the way, Ren Juan also took more than 2,000 prisoners of the Jin army. The quality is a bit mixed. Are you from the land of personal soldiers, what do you want?

The end will be.

Don't swallow it and get upset.

Master Hou, the last general will use troops, the more the better.

What an arrogant tone, the more soldiers you use, the better. What about this Marquis?

Master Hou makes good use of generals!

Heh. Tian Wujing shook his head with a smile, and said, Who did you learn this flattering skill from?

If you go back to Lord Hou, you will end up opening a restaurant in front of the army to do business.

That's right. If you, Zheng Chengshou, make a fortune in the future, it can be regarded as a typical example of starting from recklessness. I, Dayan, have been abused by aristocratic families for too long, and I need people like you to take the lead.

People need hope. In the past, aristocratic families controlled the upward channels, and it was too difficult for ordinary Guizhou leaders to get ahead.

Now that the horse has stepped into the door, it is natural to have a new look, and Zheng Fan is very happy to be cultivated as a model.

In fact, there was also a typical case in the Qian Kingdom at the beginning, that is, the stabbing-faced gentleman, from a prisoner who was assigned to the frontier army as a serious bandit with the army, step by step to the position that is almost below one person and above ten thousand. The military general of Qian State injected a shot in the arm, but the good times didn't last long.

From now on, if there is no trouble, this Marquis will always be in Litian City, far away from your Shengle City, but Li Bao in Quhe City is closer to you. You also have some connections with the Zhenbei Army. Look at it yourself. Let's do it.

I will understand in the end.

There's nothing else going on here. The Marquis of Japan plans to withdraw his troops tomorrow, and the Queen Mother and some close relatives of the Jin clan, the Marquis, will also be taken away together. You should also make some preparations quickly.

yes.

Okay, let's get busy.

I will retire at the end.

After Zheng Fan left,

A beautiful figure came out from inside, holding a wet cloth in his hand, took off the pot from the clay stove, and started making tea.

Tian Wujing patted his forehead lightly with his hand, and said:

I told you not to come.

Master, can I not come here as a concubine? Look at what you have made of yourself now, you are obviously able to win the battle, but you are going to fight the sword master of the Jin Kingdom. Master, you need Is this a reputation?

It is an absolute honor for a martial arts practitioner to lose the Juggernaut in front of him.

In front of Du Juan, Tian Wujing really had no pretensions, and when his gaze fell on Du Juan's slightly protruding belly, it was rare to see a little tenderness.

If I make a move, the soldiers will die less.

If the Juggernaut was in Gyeonggi or the palace, he would be able to kill two hundred cavalry alone with a single sword.

Yes, yes, you are Lord Marquis, you are the commander-in-chief, you love the soldiers, but you also have to love the concubine.

Du Juan delivered the teacup to Tian Wujing, and said:

Master, Ren Juan doesn't have many soldiers and horses, and he has drawn another thousand. Are you beating him?

If you move your mind that shouldn't be moved, you will naturally have to beat it.

Master, Ren Juan is loyal.

Tian Wujing took a sip of tea, heard the words, raised his head to look at Du Juan, and said:

Do you want to be queen?

Du Juan snuggled into Tian Wujing's arms, stroked Tian Wujing's chest with her fingers, and said:

Master, I don't want anything, I just want my master to be safe.

If you want to, you can't.

Tian Wujing shook the teacup in his hand,

Who dares to believe that a person who can destroy even his own family will be able to share wealth in the future.
