Jingnanhou's lunch was a bit late, and he didn't start eating until half past two in the afternoon.

The dishes are not sumptuous and extravagant, but they are also exquisite, with one meat, two vegetables and one soup.

Uncle Zheng divided the chopsticks and sat at the stone table by the pond with Jing Nanhou and ate.

The previous conversation was too smooth,

As soon as a few words came, it seemed that the county lord's matter had already been determined, and it might seem like a big thing in his own opinion, but in the eyes of Jingnanhou, it was nothing more than a small contradiction between the two younger children.

The most important thing is that Zheng Fan's methods are very clean, leaving no traces, as long as there is no sore foot to catch, then covering up or not covering up is a matter of one sentence, and there is no need to even say anything.

What kind of crime is not used here, after all, how can it be counted as a soft persimmon now, not to mention that there is still Jingnanhou standing behind him.

Zheng Fan ate two bowls of rice, and when he ate the second bowl, Tian Wujing took the initiative to put his rice on the meat plate, stirred it a few times at will, and then handed it to Zheng Fan.

For his part, he poured the remaining rice into the soup bowl and pulled some of the remaining vegetarian steaks into it.

The two men didn't lick the plates, but they ate cleanly, and there was basically nothing left.

After eating, a guard came up to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, because Fengxincheng seems to be a city, and this mansion seems to be a Hou Mansion, but in fact it is more like a military camp and a handsome tent, and it is inconvenient for a maid to appear in the army, so there is no maid here to come up and send a basin or a handkerchief.

Tian Wujing took water from the pond and squatted there, washing his hands and wiping his mouth.

Uncle Zheng also did the same, squatting next to him and washing his hands.

shook his hand,

Tian Wujing looked up at the sky,

Road:

"It's going to rain."

Zheng Fan nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Although there was a high probability that it would rain, Tian Wujing still walked out of the Hou Mansion, and Zheng Fan followed.

Jingnanhou walking in Fengxin City is the same as Uncle Zheng walking in the snow customs, the periphery is full of soldiers loyal to him, and there is no need to worry too much about safety.

At the same time, Jing Nanhou's own strength is also here, for the vast majority of assassins in this world, ninety percent of the efforts are probably how to penetrate the outer vigilance and defense to come to the assassination target;

But here in Tian Wujing, it is the other way around, because even if you try your best and great luck to avoid the patrol of the Jingnan Army and finally come to Tian Wujing, you will experience what the real difficulty is.

Xu knew that his Hou Ye was going to walk alone, so there was no armor to follow, but Zheng Fan still noticed that there was still a team of guards on the periphery, but they would only follow at a distance, and they would not come forward without special circumstances.

The armor at the door also gave Zheng Fan an umbrella,

Not far from the Hou Mansion, it began to rain in the sky, Zheng Fan held up an umbrella and covered himself and Tian Wujing.

The rain in summer can make people feel sticky, the rain in early winter makes people chill, and Bongseong has experienced several wars and there are no fireworks scenes, so it is really difficult to find any tranquility and flavor in such a street.

Zheng Fan didn't know where Tian Wujing was going, and he didn't need to know, just follow him.

Ten thousand steps back and said,

I finally saw Lao Tian once,

It is also appropriate to simply accompany Lao Tian for a walk.

Half of the area in Fengxin City is a military camp, and the other half is much more dilapidated and not many people.

Tian Wujing became more and more remote, and Zheng Fan said:

"Master Hou, in fact, Fengxin is also a good place."

Although the Situ Yi brothers were kicked out of Yupan City by the Chu people at the beginning, they chose Fengxin this place later, obviously because they were also elegant, and they would not go to the rotten places in the poor countryside.

The implication is that Fengxincheng is so desolate, it is really a pity, and now the overall situation is difficult, and we should vigorously develop production to save ourselves.

Tian Wujing said very calmly: "Once the Chu people start a full-scale war, the place of Fengxin will inevitably become a front rush, and it will probably be besieged by the Chu army. ”

Tian Wujing also explained, Chu is a hundred-legged insect that dies but does not stiffen, the tens of thousands of Chu troops who were slaughtered in Yupan City before, although they are the elite division of Chu State, but Chu State is a big country after all, this loss is not really broken, the next time the war starts, the Chu people will definitely send more soldiers and horses, Yan State is good at cavalry combat, cavalry operations also need a strategic support point to rely on, Fengxincheng, most likely to be used as a nail on the chessboard.

Therefore, even if it is a business now, when the Chu army besieges the city, it will inevitably become a wasted effort, and even after absorbing too much of the non-military population, it will become an additional burden.

"Yes, the Admiral understands."

"Your snow customs, but you can continue to operate well, the Chu people are now in control of Zhennan Pass, once the war starts, the early initiative will inevitably be in the Chu people, but with Ben Hou in Fengxin, the Chu people do not dare to divide their forces to fight your snow customs."

This is said very confidently, however, Jing Nanhou does have the capital to say this.

As long as the head of the commander of the Chu army on the opposite side was not kicked by a donkey, he did not dare to divide his troops to attack the Snow Customs when he played against the Marquis of Jingnan, and the Chu people had a similar problem, that is, the cavalry of the Chu people was not much, and the Snow Customs was a big pass, especially after the renovation, according to the existing troops, population and war mobilization of the Snow Customs, the Chu people did not have a 100,000 army and could not bite it at all.

"Yes, the Admiral understands."

"The situation is not good, but it is not bad, anyway, the eastern half of the Situ family has long been broken, and if it continues to fight, there will not be much loss.

It's just that Qianchu works together, and after all, we need to find a way to break the game. ”

"It would be nice if we could take Zhennan Pass." Zheng Fan said.

Take Zhennan Pass, completely restore the border line of the Situ family against the Chu State, isolate the threat of the Chu people, defend one point and defend one side, obviously the cost and difficulty of the former are smaller.

"If you are not sure enough, you should not act like this, the siege of the city is different from the cavalry roundabout, the former is more involved, it is easy to put the chips on the table, and it will be difficult to get down easily."

Speaking of this, Tian Wujing said again:

"Besides, there are Chu people who call a few times in their ears from time to time, which also saves boredom and loneliness."

The corners of Zheng Fan's mouth twitched subconsciously, but he heard the meaning of raising Kou's self-respect from these words.

I don't know if this is intentional by Tian Wujing, or because he is forced to be limited by the situation, this is just a kind of self-comfort for him.

Tian Wujing walked to the door of an ancestral hall and stopped.

The plaque of the ancestral hall fell to the ground, split into many pieces, apparently deliberately destroyed, and the inner mess could also be seen in the dilapidated threshold.

"This was originally the ancestral hall of an official family in Fengxincheng, but later the Situ Yi brothers came here and pushed all the spiritual offerings in this ancestral hall and replaced it with the ancestral temple of his Situ family."

"Ancestral Temple? It's also that the sparrow is small, but it has all kinds of organs. Zheng Fan teased.

"I thought you would say it was retribution." Tian Wujing said.

"Master Hou, the last general doesn't believe this."

Tian Wujing nodded, took a step and walked in.

Zheng Fan didn't know that Jing Nanhou was going to take him here, he originally thought that Jing Nanhou would take him to the county lord, even if he didn't give her an explanation, but he would go through the motions and say that he couldn't do anything for the time being.

But obviously, once the decision was made to do it or not, the Marquis of Jingnan didn't even have the interest to hide it, otherwise there would not have been two eunuchs who had been killed at the gate of the Hou Mansion in Litian City.

The ancestral hall was very chaotic, and a Buddha statue in the main hall had fallen off the offering table and leaned against the corner.

The Buddha statue was carved out of wood, but it was cracked at this time, and obvious signs of mildew could be seen in some places.

Buddha statues also need to be served, and no one has to pick them up after a long time, and they "get old" quickly.

Tian Wujing stretched out his hand and pointed to the wooden Buddha statue,

To Zheng Fandao:

"What do you think of him?"

Zheng Fan pondered for a moment,

Road:

"In the eyes of believers he is a Buddha, in the eyes of craftsmen he is alive, in the eyes of merchants he is a commodity;

In my eyes, he's a piece of rotten wood right now. ”

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

As soon as Zheng Fan's words fell, from behind the ancestral hall, an old man actually walked out, and behind the old man, a strong man came out.

The height of this strong man can be compared with Fan Li, and his nostrils are wearing two rings, and he is as strong as an ox.

The old man is a lot shorter, the old man is old, and it is easy to shrink back, so he is less than a head taller than Xue San.

"Lord Wang, this is Uncle Hirano?" The old man pointed at Zheng Fan and asked Tian Wujing.

"It's him."

"Oh, country man, I've seen Uncle Hirano, Uncle Hirano Fukang."

The old man saluted Zheng Fan, Zheng Fan's eyes were fixed, and he did not return the salute.

Because the demon pill was not on his body, and the demon kings were not around, one or two strangers suddenly appeared, and Uncle Zheng was instinctively a little nervous.

But soon, Zheng Fan's mood calmed down, and no matter what, Jing Nanhou stood by his side.

The old man didn't think Zheng Fan's behavior was rude, but said with a smile:

"Let Xiao Lao'er introduce himself, Xiao Lao'er's surname is Zeng, his name is Shulang, and he is the head of Tianji Pavilion."

"Tianji Pavilion?"

"Oh, it looks like Uncle Hirano has heard about me waiting, hehe."

"Your people have assassinated me."

"......" Zeng Shulang.

At the beginning in the post station outside Yin City, Zheng Fan had been attacked and killed by the spider girl from the Jindi Tianji Pavilion, and Xu Wenzu was also there at that time.

However, the head of the Tianji Pavilion is also the master who has seen the wind and waves, and after a little embarrassment, he turned to say:

"As the saying goes, if you don't fight, you don't know each other, Uncle Hirano, you were at fault in the past with wind and rain, please also ask Uncle Hirano Haihan, now my Tianji Pavilion has also been blown away by the rain and wind, and there are not many people left."

In the battle to destroy the Jin Dynasty, in the midst of the flames of war, Tianji Pavilion, a sect that had stood in the Jin Land for a hundred years, finally suffered great damage, and now, it is just surviving.

But what made Zheng Fan not very clear was why Jing Nanhou brought himself over to see this old man.

Tian Wujing found a place and sat down, seemingly not intending to participate in the conversation.

Zheng Fan's mind began to spin rapidly,

I have to say,

Every time he stands by Jing Nanhou's side, Uncle Zheng's brain thinking speed can often exceed the level, one is because of the great pressure around Jing Nanhou, and the other is that he is indeed a student of Jing Nanhou.

So

Zheng Fan stretched out his hand and pointed at himself,

Pointing to the old man again,

Road:

"You want to come to me............ Big Swallow? ”

"Jin Zuo is over, Ji Dai Yuxing, the way of heaven is like this, how dare I go against the trend?"

"Hey, you pretty old man is pretty and nice."

It's the same as my previous comparison with rotten wood.

It's obviously a simple nonsense, and I have to deliberately make a little bit of a compulsion.

Old man Zeng couldn't help but be a little stunned when he saw that Zheng Fan dared to speak so relaxed in front of Tian Wujing, but he quickly smiled again and said:

"Let the uncle see it."

Zheng Fan also counted in his heart, and said to the old man:

"Later, come back to the snow customs with me."

The old man immediately knelt down,

Kowtow to Zheng Fan and say:

"Thank you Uncle Hirano for taking you in!"

"How many people are there under your door?" Zheng Fan asked.

"If you go back to your uncle, there are dozens of people."

"Can you be like that Spider-Woman?"

The spider girl last time can be said to have left a very deep impression on Uncle Zheng.

"Uncle, that's the protector in my cabinet, but because of the changes in the past two years, the protector in my cabinet has basically been lost and consumed, and now there are only some craftsmen left."

"Okay, take your time, you can always recover later."

"Thank you, uncle."

Zheng Fan hesitated for a moment, wanting to find the token on his body, he had a jade pendant on him, but this thing was originally for fun, and he usually didn't pay attention to it, even the demon kings wouldn't care about it.

Simply, Zheng Fan took out his own Chinese brand iron box, took out a "soft China" from it, and handed it to Old Man Zeng.

Old man Zeng took the cigarette, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, and said with some doubts:

"Tobacco?"

"With this as a token, you can gather your men, either just wait outside the city for me to leave, or you can take someone to the snow customs first."

Old man Zeng solemnly put down the cigarette and said:

"The villain understands."

Then

Tian Wujing said:

"That's it."

"Yes, Lord Wang, the villain retires."

Old man Zeng turned to leave, and the tall man also left, Zheng Fan noticed some subtleties, and guessed that this tall man should not be a living person but a puppet.

To put it mildly, if you are in the wild, it is really difficult to say whether you can survive from this old man in the face of him;

But in front of Tian Wujing, he is a thorough grandson, and his posture is as low as he wants.

After the old man left the ancestral hall with the puppet,

Zheng Fan bowed to Tian Wujing very solemnly,

"Alright, don't bother."

Zheng Fan's words of thanks hadn't been uttered yet, so he could only smile.

Previously, when he came, he also wanted to dedicate the master craftsmen of the dwarf clan on his side to the Marquis of Jingnan, who would have thought that the Marquis of Jingnan had already prepared a group of master craftsmen to send back to him.

As for why he deliberately came to such a remote realm to hand over, there are also considerations, even if a sect like Tianji Pavilion is defeated, but as a gate that once had a head and face in Jindi, it cannot be taken lightly.

It stands to reason that if they want to take refuge in the imperial court, they should also take refuge in Emperor Yan and be absorbed by the secret spy department.

Therefore, these things can only be handed over under the dark side, and once they see the light, if they want to dig it out, it will be unjustifiable.

Even if it is applied for to the imperial court, but after such a pass by the secret spy department or the imperial court Ministry of Industry, can it still be authentic?

Tian Wujing didn't want to hear Zheng Fan's good words,

But he stretched out his hand and pointed to the Buddha statue,

Road:

"Qianchu, in fact, are the same as this Buddha statue, it seems to be solemn, but in fact it is rotten, but it is a pity that my Dayan Iron Cavalry is blocked by the three sides of Qianguo, and it is blocked by the Nanguan of Chu Town.

You have always studied the method of siege, and this group of people is for you, you can use it with confidence, prepare first, and then use it when the war really starts.

My Dayan is indeed exhausted, but it's not that it can't be beaten, it's not that it can't be beaten, if it can knock down Zhennan Pass in one bite, and the army commander drives into Chu, there will be no national strength to be tired and not tired. ”

The shorter the war lasts, the smaller the loss of logistics and national strength, and it is not that Yan cannot fight, but that it cannot afford to consume.

"The last will understand."

"When there are no outsiders, don't call yourself the last general."

"Yes, brother."

“………”

Rao is Marquis of Jingnan, and he was also a little stunned for a while.

forthwith

Jing Nanhou nodded.

Zheng Fan is interpreting what it means to be pervasive.

"Huh."

Zheng Fan himself smiled first and sat down facing Jingnanhou.

"On the front line of Zhennan Pass, the soldiers and horses under Xue Rang's command, counting the imperial forbidden army of the Chu people, add up to 200,000."

When Zheng Fan heard this, he echoed: "What a big plate of hard dishes." ”

"Zhennan Pass, I won't be able to take it for a while, and I don't plan to order the mobilization of other troops and horses here in Fengxincheng this year."

"Huh?" Zheng Fan heard something in Jing Nanhou's words.

"But you can't keep watching the Chu people make such a fuss, and you don't come to be rude, if you don't bring Qian Yatou this time, I also plan to call you over to talk about it."

"Master Hou commanded."

"The Wangjiang River goes south from the Tianduan Mountain Range, diverts into the Chu realm, stretches along the mountains, and finally, merges into the Chu land Daze.

In fact, to enter Chu, you don't have to go to Zhennanguan. ”

"But other places are not suitable for large armies to enter." Zheng Fan said.

The entire Jin land is actually like a large basin, and the plains that are connected to the outside are guarded by each Xiongguan.

"Take a small group of soldiers and horses, infiltrate them, and give the Chu people a little color to see." Tian Wujing said.

Uncle Zheng immediately reacted,

Immediately said:

"The subordinates feel that Ren Juan is the chief soldier and uses the soldiers like a god, and he is worthy of this job!"

Tian Wujing looked at Zheng Fan.

"No, I said, Master Hou, this ......"

"I think back then, your Uncle Zheng dared to fight Mianzhou City with three hundred barbarian soldiers, why is it so casual now?"

"Master Hou, I was barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, but now I am ......"

"Done?"

"I ......"

"You try it, take a thousand horses in, you don't necessarily have to do anything, even if you go in and take a turn, let the Chu people take care of it, it's okay, it's still the same as last time, Benhou doesn't give you specific military orders, you just adapt."

"Master Hou, I think this matter needs to be considered in the long run, and give your subordinates some time, if you don't work this year, next year, if you don't work next year, the year after tomorrow, at the latest, your subordinates can definitely help Master Hou capture Zhennan Pass."

Tian Wujing nodded.

Zheng Fan breathed a long sigh of relief.

"I set off in the first month, just to pay a New Year's greeting to the regent of Chu for Benhou."

"......" Zheng Fan.
