Devil’s Advent

Chapter 617 Westbound

The essence of saozi noodles,

It lies in the simmered soup.

Although this is a very common dish, it has to pay attention to its taste, taste and taste.

Zheng Fan and the blind man sat face to face,

The two picked up the chopsticks together,

They took a bite together.

call,

Comfortable,

enjoyable.

He Chunlai, who was standing on one side, asked, Master Hou, do you want to make red soup next time?

He Chunlai knew Zheng Fan's taste, and he liked spicy food.

Zheng Fan shook his head, and said, Give me some dried chili noodles, and I will add them later. If too many chili peppers are put in ahead of time, the umami taste of the soup will be overwhelmed.

Yes, this subordinate has written it down.

The chili noodles were delivered quickly,

Zheng Fan added two spoonfuls, and added another spoonful for the blind man.

While eating the noodles, the two were talking between sandwiching and adding noodles.

You can let go of the prophecy first, Zheng Fan said.

After listening to the blind man's story, Zheng Fan made a decision.

Yes, my lord.

This is also what the blind man agrees with.

There is no need to share the energy of things that have no shadow for the time being, no matter who your enemy will be in the future, in short, it is right to immerse yourself in developing yourself now.

As Liang Cheng said before, God knows the seven plus one in the prophecy, are they really all lone rangers?

We have a lot of magic sticks in the snow field, I think, so I sent Kong Yuan and Fan Fan to the extreme north to look for them, the master and apprentice seem to be lucky.

Tell them that as long as they can find it, I will build a Buddhist temple for him outside Fengxin City when they come back.

Blessed luck means that the master and the apprentice seem to be very difficult to die at first glance. Using this kind of person to go to thunder can often have unexpected surprises.

Yes, my lord.

Our next focus is still here.

Zheng Fan reached out and knocked on the table in front of him, Our center of gravity is unstable.

Not stable, for sure.

The land in the east of Jin is really not that big when viewed from the perspective of the entire east. If it is roughly divided, it is equivalent to two-fifths of the Situ family's land after the division of the three families, and it may be even smaller.

Because the piece of Yupan City does not belong to you. Strictly speaking, it is not the traditional Jindong territory with Wangjiang as the boundary.

Its area is equivalent to Beifeng County.

Of course, if you include the Shanggu County that you brought from Chu State, the area will naturally be larger, but unless Zheng Fan’s brain is kicked by a donkey, otherwise he will not be busy developing land that is whiter than Jindong. Shanggu County.

Also, one more thing is,

The actual occupied area is the actual occupied area, but according to the area radiated by Xueguan and Zhennanguan, the scope that Pingxihou Mansion can really influence is quite considerable.

Then,

The problem now is,

Big shelves are big,

But no flesh and blood to fill.

Brother Ke Yandong can garrison Xueguan, but Jin Shu also led his troops to Zhennanguan to garrison yesterday.

in addition,

Here in Fengxin City, you have to be stationed. This is where the Hou Mansion is, and it is the foundation.

The field army directly under Gong Wang, Gongsun Zhi, Gou Moli, Ding Hao, and Liang Cheng is now using the little soldiers and horses that are only meant to force their appearance.

The training of recruits and the refitting of armor cannot be completed overnight. If you want to speed up, you can't speed up, unless you want to swallow jujubes, but it is easy to indigestion, which will eventually lead to a decline in the army's combat effectiveness.

Such things as military training are really more haste than speed.

Just like Gan Guo,

There is no shortage of men, nor bread, nor silver,

However, after being attacked all the way south by the Yan army to Shangjing, in the past few years, the reorganization of various soldiers and horses, including the three sides, has also been carried out rapidly.

There are obviously fewer splashes on the military book, and the main force of the Western Army is also there, but when the Yan State and the Chu State are fighting hard, the Qian State still does not dare to go north.

If there are too many people and the fighting quality is not good, it will only increase the workload of the Yan army to capture prisoners after the war.

According to my subordinate's estimation, after next year's autumn harvest, the filling and changing of recruits should be fully completed.

Zheng Fan nodded when he heard the words, and said: It's good that there are enough veterans to be promoted to Shichang or Lieutenant, and the officer structure is in place.

An army, the veterans, or the middle and lower ranks, is its real soul.

What the army fears most is not losing a battle, but being wiped out, losing those experienced veterans, losing the experienced middle and lower-level officer system, and wanting to restore this army does not mean simply giving money to the army. It can be done by giving someone a serial number.

Fortunately, although the original headquarters under Lord Zheng Hou’s command was not too many, even with the addition of Gongwang Gongsun Zhi’s subordinates, it was not too many, and with the addition of the elite troops who were mobilized by the Jingnan King’s military order, they still had a lot of troops. Most of them are in their hands, and they are willing not to return to the old army and stay under Pingxihou's command.

In this way, the veterans who can be called pawns of a hundred battles under Lord Zhenghou and the officer system above it are really too solid to be solidified.

under,

There is only time left for development that cannot be skipped.

correct.

Zheng Fan seemed to have remembered something,

He took out a handful of wedding candy from his pocket and placed it in front of the blind man.

The blind man nodded, reached out and took the candy,

road:

Congratulations, my lord.

Leave Si Niang's belly to show her pregnancy and then congratulate.

If you don't accumulate steps, you can go a thousand miles.

hehe.

Zheng Fan gently put down the chopsticks, picked up the wet towel beside him and wiped his hands and mouth,

You should pay more attention to the news from Yanjing, and try to reply as quickly as possible, as Emperor Yan's body may not be able to handle it.

and,

I reckon,

The ownership of the heir, regardless of whether it is the prince or Ji Laoliu or other Ji eggs,

There has to be a process.

can't say,

The two kings of the north and the south, and the princes of the east and the west, all had to go to Yanjing City to witness with all the civil and military officials.

The blind man said with emotion:

To be honest, Emperor Yan is indeed different from his subordinates. It may be because his subordinates are blind, so they like to hide themselves in the shadows.

And that Emperor Yan always used the majestic emperor's art, making himself powerful, building his own power, and making his own fortune.

Zheng Fan asked with interest: Which one do you prefer?

A smile appeared on the corner of the blind man's mouth,

road:

So, the subordinates have been responsible for the bits and pieces of these plots, let the Lord take you and stand in the sun.

Zheng Fan heard the words,

I closed my eyes.

This flattery is good,

That's true skill, not pretentious, not abrupt, but just rightly moved.

then,

Zheng Fan laughed and said:

I'm not advanced.

The blind man nodded,

road:

Is that a waste?

Maybe, can it be saved?

According to the usual practice, I'm afraid it won't survive.

I haven't let go of my cultivation these days, but I feel...

Has the lord encountered a bottleneck?

Zheng Fan shook his head, I didn't even feel the bottleneck. According to the usual practice, it should be far away.

Above the sixth rank and the fifth rank are two different levels. The fifth rank can be called a small master. Naturally, it will be more difficult, and some opportunities must be paid attention to.

Small master and great master, there are too many divisions, and my mind is confused. Now that I have almost learned the art of war, I will take the opportunity to meet Lao Tian and ask him to teach me how to practice martial arts.

Didn't your lord say it yourself? The script is different.

Then what can we do?

Lord Zheng Hou spread his hands,

Stay in a daze like this? You have to find a way.

This subordinate also brought a prisoner this time, named Xu Chuang, who came down from Wenming Mountain. The people there are masters of both swords and swords. You can actually try it, sir, to see if you can understand it by analogy.

I worry about chewing too much.

Perhaps it can be enlightening? The blind man continued, With a sword on his waist and a knife on his back, this shape is also quite beautiful.

Pair it with a suit of armor. After going into battle, if you don't know, you may think that I'm a troupe who got on the wrong stage.

hehe.

Ha ha.

Both of them laughed.

In fact, compared with Ding Hao, the first martial arts master in the past, the teaching resources owned by Zheng Houye now can be said to be so extravagant that they will leak out.

If you want to practice swords, there is a sword master; if you want to practice swords, there is King Jingnan.

Master Zheng Hou reached out and patted his forehead lightly,

Said with emotion:

This, don't rush, I will try my best.

My lord has worked hard.

You're welcome, is there anything else?

What I want to ask is, is King Jingnan's attitude towards Guoben still the same as before?

Zheng Fan nodded, Well, I just have no attitude.

Okay, this subordinate understands.

The blind man got up, and before leaving, he looked at He Chunlai and said, Your skills are getting better and better.

He Chunlai lowered his head slightly.

Teach an apprentice, pass on the skills, and then, come to me and help me do things.

He Chunlai was stunned for a moment,

Look at Lord Zheng Hou.

Zheng Fan pointed at He Chunlai,

road:

You have to teach your apprentice well first.

He Chunlai immediately knelt down on one knee;

Thank you, Lord Hou!

The blind man left the room. Outside, the sun was already setting.

At this time,

Ke Shi came over,

Seeing the blind man immediately give a little blessing,

asked;

Mr. Bei, Miss Yuexin sent her servants to ask you, this time you brought three boxes of Shaqima, how to divide them among each house and yard?

The production of Shaqima is not complicated. Originally, Siniang made it for the master to try as a snack. Later, she simply threw it to the snack shop directly managed by the Earl's Mansion in Xueguan as a product to sell. The sales volume and popularity have always been very high.

If she had brought too little, Yuexin would not have sent someone to ask Keshi to come to the Marquis's mansion to ask her husband, but it was precisely because she had brought too much that it would not be good to give gifts after joining the night.

Brown sugar shaqima, buckwheat shaqima, nut shaqima...

Each one is a small half box.

oh.

The blind man suddenly realized,

To Keshi said:

Tiantian likes to use this as a snack. These are all prepared for him and not given away. Please, send those boxes of Shaqima to Tiantian's room.

All...all? Ke Shi was taken aback for a moment.

How many boxes are there? How can a child eat it all?

Yes, all of them. If you can't finish eating, at least you can look comfortable, right?

Yes... the servant knows, and the servant will arrange it now.

Um.

After Deke turned around and left,
