The devil is coming

Chapter 219
In fact, Zheng Fan really didn't care much about the impact Ren Juan would have on the future after listening to his advice.
The reason why I told Ren Juan this was just to show that I was on the same side as 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, he found an empty room in the side hall next to the bedroom and began to rest.
After this sleep, when I woke up again, it was almost dusk.
When I woke up, I stretched my waist and Xue San’s figure jumped down from the beam and said:
"Lord, are you awake?"
Zheng Fan nodded, looked at the sky outside, and said:
"Sleep a little too long."
"My lord, you are tired."
"Ha ha."
In fact, Zheng Fan knew that he was being lazy, but it didn't matter. Who told his subordinates to be capable?
Just be lazy and sleep by yourself, and there is a subordinate protecting you by your side.
Alas, you have to say that these days of fighting in the north and south are indeed not easy, but it would be a bit hypocritical to say how painful it is.
After Zheng Fan got up, he walked out. Just as he was about to find something to eat, he saw A Ming walking over and handed over a brochure.
"So soon?"
Zheng Fan was a little surprised. When he opened the book, he found that it was the proceeds from a ransacked house in Gyeonggi Province.
It is true that the centipede insect is dead but not stiff. Even though the Jin royal family has been in decline for so many years, if you really scrape it with a knife, you can still scrape out a thick layer of grease.
Of this, [-]% belongs to me, I have paid it, I have paid it.
At the same time, I thought that there is a hidden account under this account, tsk tsk.
However, Zheng Fan still asked A Ming:
"Jingnan Hou's wife is from the Secret Service. What if she wants to check the accounts?"
A Ming smiled and said:
"Sixth Mother said, Your Majesty, you don't need to worry about this. This is just a hurried search, and maybe even the person involved doesn't know how much he has been knocked out. Shouldn't he just do whatever he wants with this account?"
"okay."
Since Siniang was so sure, Zheng Fan thought there would be no problem.
At this moment, Liang Cheng rode over and reported after seeing Zheng Fan:
"My lord, Marquis Jingnan is looking for you."
"understood."
Zheng Fan held the booklet in one hand and took the reins delivered by Liang Cheng with the other hand. He got on his horse and went to the side hall on the west side of the Zhenghe Hall.
There was no large army of soldiers and horses stationed at the entrance of the side hall, only five soldiers.
Even if the tiger died, his power would still be there, not to mention that Marquis Jingnan was only injured. Even if he was injured, it was not something ordinary Xiaoxiao could do.
Without any warning, Zheng Fan just glanced at the soldier at the door, and the other man stepped aside. When Zheng Fan opened the door and entered, he saw Marquis Jingnan sitting on a cushion.
Marquis Jingnan was not sitting in a meditative posture. He was sitting very casually. There was a small stove in front of him, with hot water boiling on it. There was also a tea set next to it, which must have been collected from the palace.
"Master Hou."
Zheng Fan saluted.
"Ah."
Marquis Jingnan nodded and motioned for Zheng Fan to sit down and talk.
Zheng Fan was not polite and sat cross-legged on the ground.
"How did things go?" Tian Wujing asked.
When your boss gives you an errand and asks you how things are going,
If you don't know what to do when you ask three questions, then you are really in the corpse position, especially during wartime. If you don't do anything in this position, according to military law, you really deserve to die.
Fortunately, although Zheng Fan slept for almost the entire day, his hands had already thoughtfully compiled the data and given it to him.
"Master Hou, they are all here."
Zheng Fan directly handed the booklet that he had not finished reading to Marquis Jingnan.
Marquis Jingnan took it and began to read through it, one by one, and divided it into categories very carefully.
"Li Fusheng said that you did a good job in Chuzhou, so I specially asked you to try it this time. Unexpectedly, this job was indeed done beautifully."
"Master Marquis, this is the duty of the general."
"If it's done well, it's done well. Don't be humble. Besides, you're not a modest person."
Marquis Jingnan put the book aside and said:
"Your reminder in the morning is very nice."
"The Marquis is very good to the general and has saved his life several times. This is what the general should do."
"I think this sentence is true."
"Every word I said to Mr. Hou was from the bottom of my heart."
"Look, these words are false."
"Master Hou......"
"Haha, it's not difficult for you, but I am really curious, can fight, write books, speak, keep accounts, and have an overall view to analyze the situation;
Zheng Chengshou, how come we, Dayan, have a talent like you? "
"The Marquis is ridiculous. Compared with the Marquis, the general is nothing at all."
"When we talk, there's no need to be so vain."
"The general is close to you, Lord Marquis, in his heart, just like a junior wants to please his elders and says a few more auspicious words in front of them."
"elder?"
"Yes."
"In fact, I did not support you in your career. Everything you have now is still achieved by yourself. In fact, I have suppressed you a lot."
"How dare you forget the grace of saving your life several times?"
"This is not a kindness. You are my soldier. It is natural for me to save my subordinates."
"Master Hou..."
You've blocked the road, how can I flatter you?
"How many troops are left under your command?" Marquis Jingnan asked.
"Returning to the Marquis, the number of soldiers under the general's command that can charge into the formation is only a thousand."
Fortunately, when attacking the capital this time, the resistance of the Jin army was very weak and the damage was not serious. Otherwise, Zheng Shoubei would not be able to gather even a thousand soldiers.
"Do you feel bad?"
Tian Wujing asked with a smile on his lips.
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 Zhenbei Army has soldiers from the North like Beifeng County as a supplementary force. Jingnan Army The army has Yinlang County as its support.
Zheng Fan said that they were related to these two field armies, but they were not completely in their ranks, so there was no way to obtain them directly from them for post-war troop replenishment.
The reason is that Zheng Fan was originally supposed to belong to a local military faction like Xu Wenzu, but Zheng Fan wanted to go out independently on his own, which was equivalent to cutting the umbilical cord.
How could Tian Wujing, as an experienced person, not be clear about this?
"Shengle City is still in the hands of the local wealthy family. I will call Ren Juan later and ask him to allocate a thousand horses to you to help you capture Shengle City."
A thousand Jingnan troops?
Zheng Fan immediately said excitedly:
"Thank you so much, Mr. Marquis!"
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. I only lend you three months. After three months, this team will have to go back."
"what?"
Zheng Fan was stunned.
Although it was great to borrow it for three months, he really thought it was for him.
"Do you want it?"
"I want it, Lord Marquis, I want it, I want it!"
Tian Wujing nodded and said:
"The location of Shengle City is very critical. It is close to the Situ family and also relies on the Tianduan Mountain Range. Be careful about the Situ family's affairs. You don't need to do anything. I will keep an eye on it personally.
But there is one thing you must do for me. "
"Master Hou, please give me your instructions!"
"Pay close attention to the situation of the barbarians. Although the barbarians are not as good as the barbarians, in the future, if I, Dayan, want to unify the three Jin Dynasties, we will inevitably face the problem of barbarians."
"Please rest assured, Lord Marquis, the general will definitely fulfill his mission!"
"Well, I can trust your young man's ability to do things. By the way, Ren Juan also took more than 2000 prisoners of the Jin army. Their quality was a bit mixed. Some were from the Helian family, and some from the Gyeonggi Province. Are you from a local soldier?"
"The end is coming."
"Don't swallow it and make your stomach upset."
"Master Marquis, in the end, the more troops the better."
"Such an arrogant tone. The more troops you use, the better. What about me?"
"The Marquis makes good use of his generals!"
"Ha." Tian Wujing shook his head with a smile and said, "Who did you learn this skill of flattering from?"
"If I return to the Marquis, I will open a restaurant in front of the army to do business."
"That's right. In the future, when you Zheng Chengshou becomes successful, you can be regarded as a typical example of someone who started from the grass. I, Dayan, have been tortured by the family members for too long, so I need people like you to take the lead."
People need hope. In the past, aristocratic families controlled the channels for advancement, and it was too difficult for ordinary Guizhou heads to get ahead.
Now that the horse has stepped on the door, a new attitude will naturally come out, and Zheng Fan is very happy to be cultivated as a role model.
In fact, there was also a typical example in the Qian Kingdom at the beginning, that is, Mr. Xiangmian, who went from being a prisoner to a serious thief who was assigned to the border army, and step by step he reached a position where one person was almost below the number of ten thousand people. It can be said that he was given The generals of the Qian Kingdom received a shot in the arm, but the good times did not last long.
"Next, if there is no trouble, I will always be in Litian City, which is far away from your Shengle City. However, Li Bao from Quhe City is closer to you. You also have some connections with the Zhenbei Army. You can watch it yourself. Let’s do it.”
"I will understand at the end."
"There is nothing going on here. Tomorrow the Japanese Marquis plans to withdraw his troops, and the Queen Mother and some close relatives of the Jin Kingdom will also be taken away. You should also make preparations quickly."
"Yes."
"Okay, let's get busy."
"I will retire at the end."
After Zheng Fan left,
A beautiful figure walked out from inside, holding a wet cloth in his hand, took off the pot from the clay stove, and began to make tea.
Tian Wujing patted his forehead gently with his hand and said:
"I told you not to come."
"Master, can I not come? Look, Master, what you have done to yourself now. You can obviously win the battle, but you still want to fight the sword master of the Jin Kingdom. Master, you need Is this a bit of a reputation?”
The sword master was defeated in front of him. For those who practiced martial arts, it was an absolute honor.
In front of Du Juan, Tian Wujing really had no airs, and when his eyes fell on Du Juan's slightly bulging belly, he also had a rare tenderness.
"If I take action, the soldiers will die less."
If the sword master were in the capital or the palace, he would have no problem killing two hundred knights with just one sword.
"Yes, yes, you are the Marquis, you are the commander-in-chief. You feel sorry for the soldiers, but you also have to feel sorry for me."
Du Juan delivered the teacup to Tian Wujing and said:
"Sir, Ren Juan doesn't have many troops at all, but he has sent out a thousand more. Are you trying to beat him up?"
"If you have thoughts that you shouldn't have, you will naturally have to deal with them."
"Master, Ren Juan is loyal."
Tian Wujing took a sip of tea, heard the words, raised his head and looked at Du Juan, and said:
"Do you want to be a queen?"
Du Juan snuggled into Tian Wujing's arms, touched Tian Wujing's chest with her fingers, and said:
"Master, I don't want anything. I just want you to be safe."
"You can't be one if you want to be."
Tian Wujing shook the teacup in his hand,
"Who dares to believe that a person who can even destroy his entire family can be rich and powerful together in the future?"
