The devil is coming

Chapter 254 Snow Field
Zheng Fan did not expect that Marquis Jingnan had already entered Shengle City and walked up to him.
This kind of experience of arranging one's immediate boss in person is really too sour;
It's like saying in front of the female boss that she's going through menopause, or in front of the male boss that he's not going to be able to do it anymore.
Scouts outside the city,
Guardsmen on the city wall,
There seems to be no reaction at all,
Although most of Shengle City's army was brought into the mountains by Liang Cheng, Gao Yi's Jingnan Army was still responsible for the vigilance and patrol of Shengle City.
Of course, when the Jingnan Army met the Marquis of Jingnan, it was almost like a fan meeting an idol. Due to emotions and reasons, they could throw Zheng Fan away as the current manager in an instant, and it was natural not to inform him.
However, looking at Jingnan Hou’s outfit,
The brave man was replaced by a horse, the gilt armor was replaced by ordinary Jin costumes, and he was also wearing a bamboo hat. He should have sneaked into the city directly.
Not to mention Marquis Jingnan's own martial arts skills, but simply because of the mystical skills he is good at, it is not difficult to get past the attention of Shengle City, which is currently severely under-defended, and enter here directly.
Back then, Zheng Fan could still take the blind man and the others to dig into the walls of Mianzhou City. Wasn't it easy?
At the same time, this can also explain why Siniang is unable to sense it, because if Tian Wujing wants to hide his aura, Siniang is not blind and it will be difficult to detect it in advance.
As for the magic pill...
Zheng Fan didn't understand that the magic pill was really unresponsive, but after identifying Tian Wujing, he knew that there would be no threat, so he simply didn't bother to react.
Because the blind man said that after the magic pill was upgraded and awakened, his mental power was not allowed to enter his back house even half an inch.
You can ignore these things,
The question now is,
Marquis Jingnan appeared in front of him.
Zheng Fan immediately trotted over and skillfully helped Tian Wujing lead the horse.
Road:
"Master Marquis, you came here to inspect the work without saying hello in advance."
"call?"
"Yes, I can arrange for the people of Shengle City to line up to greet you and do some general cleaning in advance."
"Ah."
Tian Wujing seemed to be used to Zheng Fan's way of speaking in front of him.
Road:
"Is there anything to eat?"
"Yes, there must be."
Si Niang gave Tian Wujing a slight blessing and said:
"Slave, go cook."
Zheng Fan led Tian Wujing into the mansion.
"Master Marquis, I didn't have the chance before. This time, I'll let you try my hometown cuisine."
Zheng Fan still remembers the pickled fish he ate at Jingnanhou's place. Alas, it can only be said that people in this world have a somewhat superficial understanding of food.
Being able to cook at any time is a great skill. Not only can it be used as a bonus when dating, but it can also be used as a craft after traveling through time. If Zheng Fan hadn't insisted on eating delicious food when he was camping outside, With a quality of life that does not tire of details, how could it be possible to catch that big fish of Shatuo Queshi?
"The food in Beifeng County is not very delicious."
"You will know later, Lord Marquis, after you taste it. Come on, please come over here."
Marquis Jingnan did not enter the room, but sat down on the threshold. Zheng Fan was stunned for a moment, then went in first to take out the tea set, and then sat down side by side on the threshold.
Tian Wujing pointed to the steps in front,
Road:
"I still remember that when I first met you, you were kneeling below me."
At that time, something went wrong at the funeral of the Commander-in-Chief of Nanwang City. The Jingnan Army took advantage of the situation and entered Nanwang City, and Tian Wujing went straight into the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion.
Tian Wujing sat on the threshold of the mourning hall,
Zheng Fan and Zuo Jiqian knelt down, trembling.
"No, it was the first time I met the Marquis. To be honest, I was really intimidated by the Marquis's heroic spirit. I didn't even dare to raise my head."
"now what?"
"More scared."
At that time, I just thought you were a powerful person, a general, and you were very handsome in that armor;
Then you took me to destroy my whole family...
Damn it, I have nightmares every night after I get home, okay?
"But now you dare to sit side by side with me."
"The Marquis has saved the boy several times. The boy owes the Marquis too much. I will pay with my life in the future. How can these false gifts be worth the kindness that the Marquis shows to the boy?"
"I have always felt that your speaking ability is too unworthy to be used in the army."
"Master Hou, the general and Eunuch Wei really have nothing to do with each other."
"But it is said that Wei Zhonghe has always been very regretful, especially after reading your "Zheng Zi's Art of War", he lamented that he should have kept you in the palace in the first place. In the future, the inner palace will also have a father-in-law with great art of war."
"Eunuch Wei just likes to joke, haha, just kidding."
"A few days ago, there was an argument in the imperial court that the newly promoted areas should be treated with gentle care. Except for the food and fodder required by the troops stationed in the newly promoted areas, all other taxes and corvees should be reduced, in order to conquer the newly promoted areas. The effect of the people's hearts.
how do you feel? "
"Master Marquis, I feel that this is not possible. The new lands were conquered by Yan with swords and guns. He did not surrender on his own initiative. The people of Yan paid heavy labor to support the army's food, and the soldiers were able to open up the frontiers. earth.
If the taxes of the people in the new land are lower than those in the Yan land, and the corvee is lighter, then what is the use of conquering this new land?
To me, the people of Dayan, isn't it like having the father of half the Jin Kingdom who worked so hard to fight down and put half of Jin on his head? "
"What you said is interesting. Princes, generals, and ministers all have their own levels. However, scholars like to claim that they plead for the people, but they just use the people as a memorial arch and still speak their own words.
But I feel that what you said is what the real people think. "
"The Marquis is so complimentary. The general was born in the marketplace. Perhaps the aura of common people in the marketplace has not been completely dissipated from him."
"It's not clear yet. You continue talking. I will be here with you later to write a note. You can send it to Yanjing for me."
"Yes, Lord Marquis, I think that using preferential treatment and tolerance as a policy will not only fail to bring the people of Jin back home, but will actually alienate the people of Yan.
The foundation of our country, Yan, is still the people of Yan. They are the real people. As for this newly promoted land, as long as our army and horses are strong and we can control it for 50 years, after two generations, they will naturally become The Yan people are gone. "
This is a theory that has been verified countless times in later generations. It is called - a licking dog will not die well.
"I think the real purpose of your remarks is that you don't want to affect Zheng Chengshou's search for the four fields, right?"
Obviously, when the Marquis of Jingnan came to Shengle City, he saw the "big moves" in Shengle City. If he wanted to build a new city and open workshops in Shengle City, he would need a large number of people and wealth. Once the Yan Kingdom planned to invest in the newly promoted land, If the policy of gentleness is implemented, Zheng Fan will naturally have to restrain his hands.
"Master Hou is joking."
"Then your Shengle City is just a small city, why do you want to build such a tall city wall?"
"Afraid of death."
silence,
silence,
Even Tian Wujing was choked by Zheng Fan's straightforward answer.
"Hehehe."
Marquis Jingnan smiled and said,
Road:
"Your troops have already entered the mountains?"
"Yes."
"It's pretty fast."
"The general will not dare to neglect the military orders of the Marquis."
Marquis Jingnan stood up and finally no longer sat on the threshold, but entered the room. Zheng Fan personally prepared pens, ink, paper and inkstones.
The memorial was written quickly, and Tian Wujing did not see any use of the seal, so he closed it and handed it to Zheng Fan, saying:
"send out."
"The last will obey."
At this time,
Si Niang walked in, bowed slightly and said:
"Master Marquis, the food is ready."
The meal was very sumptuous, and Siniang cooked some of her specialty dishes. Zheng Fan ate with Tian Wujing.
It can be seen that Tian Wujing is very satisfied with his meal.
After removing the bowls and chopsticks and serving the sweet soup,
Tian Wujing then opened his mouth and said:
"I received the things you sent to Litian City. She likes them very much. You have put in the effort."
"Sister Juan is like a sister-in-law to the general. This is what the general should do."
"She is your sister-in-law, so who am I to you?"
"My brother."
Tian Wujing's eyes darkened slightly,
Road:
"This prince's family will not end well."
Zheng Fan had a stern look on his face, not daring to distinguish anything.
a long time,
"Have you advanced again?"
"Yes, seventh grade."
"can."
"It's far worse than the Marquis. By the way, Marquis, are you injured?"
"The injuries left by the Sword Master cannot be healed so easily, but they are no longer serious."
The Four Great Swordsmen were once role models for warriors in the world, and were as popular as the Four Heavenly Kings of later generations.
But recently, due to the current situation, Baili Jian went to Yanjing without achieving anything. He was forced to flee by Qianqi when he went to the capital. The sword maker of Chu State lost his dignity by cheering for the third prince of Chu State. The sword master of Jin State was killed by Yan Jingnan. Hou was defeated, and for a time, the reputation of the four great swordsmen suddenly dimmed.
In the final analysis, food is the original sin in Jianghu.
"Well, Lord Marquis, there is a soup pool in the rear house of the general. The prepared soup, mixed with some medicinal materials, can be used to remove hidden wounds of warriors."
The two brothers have a good relationship and team up to run in the bathhouse;
However, although there are many young ladies in the mansion, Zheng Fan really does not dare to take the initiative to send women to Marquis Jingnan. Firstly, he feels that it is a bit despicable, and secondly, he does not want to tarnish the pure relationship between the two in this way. .
Thirdly, he was afraid that Tian Wujing would just slap him to death.
"No more soaking."
"Then we will arrange for the Marquis to rest?"
"No rest either."
"Well, are you going to take the Marquis around Shengle City again?"
"Your city is only half-finished, how can it get better?"
"Forehead……"
Marquis Jingnan stood up and picked up his bamboo hat, as if he was about to leave.
Zheng Fan hurriedly escorted Marquis Jingnan out of the courtyard.
"I have a habit. Before a battle, everything must be done down to the smallest detail. Just like what the book you wrote said, know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be in danger in a hundred battles.
I am going to walk through the snowfield in person. When I come back, the [-] elite cavalry I have dispatched should also arrive. "
"The Marquis is careful in his military use. He is really a role model for us. Wait a minute, Marquis. I will send someone to prepare some dry food so that..."
"No, no need to bother."
"Then the Marquis must be careful. Although I think there are not many people in this world who can hurt the Marquis."
"I know this clearly."
"Take care, Lord Marquis. It's a pity. I wish I could stay with you day and night and listen to your teachings. General..."
Marquis Jingnan got on his horse. When he heard this, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Zheng Fan.
Road:
"To satisfy you."
"what?"
"You are allowed to enter the snowy field with me first."
"..." Zheng Fan.
