The devil is coming

Chapter 309
Zheng Fan rubbed his eyebrows,
Glancing at Jin Shuke who was kneeling there looking extremely tired,
To be honest,
Being able to relay the situation on the front line back in time is a great achievement.
This barbarian soldier really gave me a big surprise.
Even if you know the battle situation on the front line one day earlier, it is extremely important for your own reaction.
"Go down and have a rest. I'll take credit from you."
"I would like to die for the general!"
Jin Shuke immediately kowtowed and said:
"I will retire at the end."
He was really tired, extremely tired.
After the metal skills were gone, Zheng Fan scanned the many demon kings and said:
"A Cheng, how many troops can we send?"
"Ten thousand." Liang Cheng gave the answer directly.
The location of Shengle City is too "dangerous". Although it cannot be said to be a major military town, from here to the north you can enter the Snowfield through the Tianduan Mountains. In the same way, the tribes in the Snowfield can also enter Shengle and enter the Jinland through there.
Although the roads are difficult to navigate and the army comes in and out, and it often takes more than half a month or even longer, we have to leave enough troops to protect our hometown.
At the same time, the defeat of the Yan army on the front line can easily trigger a chain reaction. When you are at the top of your game, naturally no one dares to make mistakes. This is almost the case in newly promoted places. But when you suddenly fail once, some people's The mind will naturally come alive.
Just like when the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty was still alive, those heroes and heroes were obedient to the people. When the first emperor died, the world was in chaos.
The same is true for Jin now. The Yan people have not yet been able to fully digest this newly occupied territory. Therefore, the importance of your hometown is even more important. God knows if you will send troops abroad, whether there will be people near your home. What kind of Jin rebel army is this?
"Ten thousand."
Zheng Fan still felt that the troops were lacking.
On weekdays, the huge cost of raising troops is a headache, but when it comes to actually using troops, they still feel that they are not enough.
"Blind man, please recruit five thousand civilians."
Five thousand civilians are the logistical support of the army. However, Zheng Fan has no intention of transporting food from him when he is out on an expedition. Firstly, it will be inconvenient to supply supplies. Secondly, we are going to relieve the siege of Chengguo, so we should entertain the people of Chengguo for food. Is it natural?
When neighbors in rural areas help in the fields, they also have to take care of the food.
These five thousand civilians were basically responsible for taking care of the war horses, repairing ordnance, building camps, and if necessary, helping to build siege equipment.
In many other armies, the main army and the auxiliary army are not very separate, but in Shengle City, because of the policy of elite troops, there is no such thing as auxiliary army for the time being.
In a word, General Zheng is so heroic in raising his troops!
"Yes, Lord." The blind man agreed directly.
Since there is going to be a war, any workshops or trade routes will have to wait until the war is over.
"San'er, take your group of people and enter Chengguo first, and check out the specific situation of Chengguo in advance."
"Subordinates obey."
"Siniang, in terms of military supplies, please proofread it again."
"Yes, the slave family knows."
Zheng Fan sat up straight,
Seriously said:
"It's still the old rules. The blind man and Si Niang are responsible for looking after the house, and the rest will follow me on the expedition."
"Subordinates obey!"
"Subordinates obey!"
After the meeting, the demon kings all went down to do their own business.
Zheng Fan was going to practice sword practice for a while, which was truly "sharpening the sword in battle".
After a while, Xiao Yibo came over and reported:
"Master, Mr. Xiao from the Secret Service is here again."
"here we go again?"
Zheng Fan put away the knife, instinctively unhappy.
Anyone who is often visited by the spy chief will not be so happy, unless that person is your wife.
Mr. Xiao's real name is Xiao Liang, and he was born in the Secret Service. After Du Juan's death, the Yan Kingdom's Secret Service divided the new land into two parts and took charge of Litian City and Quhe City respectively.
As for Xiao Liang, Qu Hecheng is at the helm.
This is the third time he came. The first time he came, the blind man received him, but Zheng Fan excused his absence. The second time he came, Zheng Fan received him.
This is the third time.
Zheng Fan knew very well what the purpose of his coming was. It wasn't that he was very enthusiastic about himself, or that he came here specifically to get a meal.
The Secret Intelligence Service and the military seem to complement each other, but in fact they are two departments, so everyone can be harmonious on the surface, but if they really want to get serious, they can completely ignore each other.
The most important thing is that the current Emperor Yan is ambitious and has no interest in spy politics. The emperor's governing policy does not allow the Secret Service in the Yan Kingdom to do anything like the Silver Armored Guards of the Qian Kingdom. "There is still a big difference between "Dongchang" and "Dongchang".
However, even the imperial court acquiesced to the news that Mrs. Jingnan Hou and the heir in her arms were both "dead". Xiao Liang ran to him over and over again, naturally for Xiao Tiantian.
This guy is walking a tightrope.
As the former "King of the Wire Stage",
General Zheng actually knew very well that Xiao Liang wanted to "get riches and wealth in danger".
There was definitely no will from Emperor Yan behind him. As for whether there were other people, Zheng Fan didn't know, but this guy came over several times, which was really shameless.
In the front hall, Zheng Fan met Xiao Liang.
Xiao Liang's face is very pale, and Yan people generally have rough faces. This guy can be regarded as the "little pretty face" among Yan people, but it goes well with his profession.
"General Zheng, I'm here to bother you again."
Xiao Liang stood up and handed over to Zheng Fan.
Zheng Fan nodded and did not respond enthusiastically. Instead, he sat on a chair and a maid came up to serve tea.
"I wonder what happened when Commander Xiao came to Shengle again?"
"General Zheng, let's stop talking secretly. This is the third time that Mr. Xiao has come to General Zheng's territory. I think General Zheng also knows Xiao's purpose.
Xiao wants to see someone, just one look, just one glance. This is Xiao's errand, and General Zheng is asked to be accommodating.
From now on, whenever General Zheng needs something, Quhe City's Secret Service will accept it. "
In fact, Xiao Liang was the most helpless one. When he came here for the first time, he was played Tai Chi by a blind scribe, and he went back feeling dizzy.
The second time I came, General Zheng followed suit and played Tai Chi again, but he returned without success.
This was the third time. As the saying goes, things can only come in threes. Xiao Liang thought it would be better to open the skylight and speak frankly. Although this way, no one would have any room to move, but he really didn't want to be fooled by the other party again.
"Captain Xiao is joking. If you want to meet someone, you can choose any girl from the red tent in Shengle City. Zheng is not talented, but with the friendship of a landlord, you can still afford it."
"General Zheng, why bother to make things difficult for me? This is already the third time for Xiao."
"You also know that this is the third time. Who is embarrassing whom?"
"General Zheng, this is Xiao's errand, Xiao..."
Zheng Fan immediately stood up, left his seat, and knelt down.
"General Zheng Fan respectfully welcomes the imperial edict, long live my emperor!"
"..." Xiao Liang.
Zheng Fan raised his head, looked at Xiao Liang, and said with some confusion:
"Xiao is at the helm, where is the imperial edict?"
"So-and-so has no imperial edict."
"No imperial edict?"
Zheng Fan stood up from the ground, the smile on his face turned cold, and said:
"That's strange. Without an imperial edict, what on earth are you going to do?"
"General Zheng, there are some things. Can you invent a decree?"
"Zheng is a military general, but he doesn't understand all these twists and turns. In battles, he relies on military orders, but on weekdays he relies on imperial edicts."
Xiao Liang couldn't help it anymore and said directly:
"General Zheng, don't you think that everyone in the world is a fool? Do you really think you can hide the matter of Marquis Jingnan's son in your house from everyone?"
"It's a joke. The Marquis of Jingnan and his heirs died of illness while praying for Lord Marquis from Tianhu Mountain. Your Majesty and the imperial court sent people to express their condolences. Why did Director Xiao say that there was such a change?
What's Mr. Xiao's intention? "
"What's Xiao's intention? You should ask General Zheng what's your intention!"
Zheng Fan shook his head, sat back on the chair again, picked up the tea,
Road:
"Please forgive Zheng for being busy with military affairs."
"Zheng Fan!" Xiao Liang said directly, "This is Dayan's world!"
"Zheng dare not say anything else, but he considers himself a great Yan Zhongliang and has a clear conscience.
It's just that the military affairs are really busy, and Zheng does have a lot to do. "
"Busy with military affairs? General Zheng, do you think Xiao is so easy to fool? Today, that person, you can see that person even if you let Xiao see him, and you can see Xiao even if you don't let Xiao see him.
If General Zheng is brave, he can tie up Xiao so that the world can see your majesty, General Zheng! "
"Master Xiao, you know, even if Eunuch Wei himself is here, he would not dare to speak like you. Yes, our Lord Marquis is self-proclaimed in the Marquis' Mansion, but do you really think that our Lord Marquis can't get out? Already?"
"That's Xiao's responsibility!"
"What the hell are you doing?" Zheng Fan scolded him directly, "You kid are going crazy trying to get ahead. There are some pitfalls. Do you think you can jump them?"
"General Zheng, things are different now."
"Yes, things are different now."
Zheng Fan nodded and dropped the tea cup in his hand to the ground.
In fact, this event was not planned in advance, but Zheng Fan thought that if he smashed the tea cup, he should be able to hear the sound.
Sure enough, a group of palace soldiers rushed in behind A Ming.
Xiao Liang looked around in surprise. He couldn't believe that Zheng Fan actually dared to attack him.
Zheng Fan pointed at Xiao Liang,
Road:
"Take it and hang it at the city gate for three days."
A Ming's eyes narrowed and he said:
"Take it."
The soldier stepped forward. Xiao Liang hesitated for a moment. He did not resist. He was just hanging for three days. He was not trying to kill him. He knew clearly that if he resisted at this time, he would never be able to leave the general's mansion.
"General Zheng, you will pay the price for what you did today!"
Zheng Fan waved his hand, and the soldiers escorted Xiao Liang down.
A Ming looked at Zheng Fan and asked:
"Lord, would this be too radical?"
Zheng Fan shook his head and said:
"He sought his own death."
"Then what we do is just making fun of the secret agent."
"The eldest prince has been defeated." Zheng Fan suddenly said.
"Ok?"
"Who do you think the court will let come back?"
Zheng Fan stood up, patted A Ming on the shoulder and said:
"You have to flatter yourself as early as possible."

I originally planned to break out, but it seems that I have gastroenteritis and I am tossing up and down so much that I can only write one chapter today. I really can’t write anymore.
