Chapter 117: Sycophants
Zheng Fan rubbed his eyebrows,
glanced at Alchemy, who knelt there and looked extremely tired,
Tell the truth,
Being able to relay the situation from the front line back in a timely manner is a great achievement.
This brute really gave himself a lot of surprises.
Even if you know the battle situation on the front line a day earlier, it is extremely important to react to your own side.
"Go down and rest, and take credit for you."
"I am willing to die for the general!"
Jin Shuke immediately kowtowed, and then said:
"The last will be retired."
He was really tired, too tired to do it.
After waiting for the golden technique to go down, Zheng Fan's gaze swept over the many demon kings, and said:
"Ah Cheng, how many troops can we send?"
"Ten thousand." Liang Cheng gave the answer very directly.
The location of Shengle City is too "dangerous", although it is not a military town, but because from here to the north can enter the snow field through the Tianduan Mountain Range, in the same way, the tribes of the snow field can also enter Shengle through there and enter the Jindi.
Although the road is not easy to walk, and the army enters and exits, it can take more than half a month or even longer, but it has to leave enough troops to take care of the hometown.
At the same time, the defeat of the Yan army on the front line can easily trigger a chain reaction, when you are in full swing, naturally no one dares to make a mistake, at this time the new land is almost like this, but when you suddenly fail once, some people's minds 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, and as soon as the first emperor died, the world was in chaos in an instant.
The current Jin land is the same, the Yan people have not been able to completely digest this newly occupied territory, so the importance of the hometown is even more important, God knows if there will be a Jin land rebel army near your home when you send troops outward?
"Ten thousand."
Zheng Fan still felt that there were fewer soldiers and horses.
On weekdays, I have a headache with the huge cost of raising soldiers, but when I really want to use soldiers, I still feel that there are not enough soldiers and horses.
"Blind man, levy 5,000 people."
5,000 people are the logistics support of the army, but when the expedition is out, Zheng Fan doesn't plan to transport food out from himself, not to mention the inconvenience of supplies, and second, let's go to relieve the siege of Chengguo, isn't it natural for Chengguo people to entertain and eat?
When the rural neighbors help in the fields, they also have to take care of the food.
These 5,000 men were basically responsible for taking care of the horses, repairing the ordnance, building the camp, and helping to build siege equipment if necessary.
In many other armies, the main army and the auxiliary army are not very separated, but in Shengle City, because of the policy of elite soldiers, there is no such thing as auxiliary soldiers for the time being.
In a word, General Zheng raises troops with pride!
"Yes, Lord." The blind man responded directly.
Since there is going to be a war, what workshops and what trade routes have to wait until the war is over.
"San'er, you take your group of people and horses to enter the country first, and find out the specific situation of the country in advance."
"Subordinates obey."
"Siniang, in terms of military quartermasters, you can proofread it again."
"Yes, the slave knows."
Zheng Fan sat up straight,
Positive color channel:
"It's still the old rule, the blind man and Siniang are in charge of the house, and the rest of the people will go with me."
"Subordinates obey!"
"Subordinates obey!"
After the meeting, the demon kings all went down to their own work.
Zheng Fan is ready to practice the knife for a while, which can be regarded as a genuine "sharpening the knife in battle".
After a while, Xiao Yibo came over and reported:
"Master, that Master Xiao from the Secret Spy Division is here again."
"Again?"
Zheng Fan put away the knife, instinctively a little displeased.
Anyone who is constantly approached by the spy boss will not be so happy, unless it is your wife.
Lord Xiao's real name is Xiao Liang, born in the secret spy department, after the death of Du Juan, the secret spy department of the Yan Kingdom divided the new land into two parts, and the helm was in Litian City and Quhe City respectively.
And Xiao Liang is Qu Hecheng at the helm.
This is the third time he came, the first time he came, the blind man received him, Zheng Fan excused himself not there, and the second time he came, Zheng Fan received him.
This is the third time.
What is the purpose of his coming, Zheng Fan knows very well, not that he is very enthusiastic about himself, or that he deliberately came over to eat.
The secret spy department and the army seem to complement each other, but in fact they are two departments, so everyone can be harmonious on the surface, but if you really want to be more serious, you can completely disagree with each other.
The most important thing is that today's Yan Emperor is open-minded and has no interest in engaging in spy politics, and the king's ruling policy does make the secret spy division in Yan State unable to call the wind and rain like the Qianguo Silver Armor Guard, which is still very different from the "Jinyi Guard" and "Dongchang" that Zheng Fan is familiar with.
It's just that even the imperial court acquiesced in the news that Mrs. Jingnanhou and the heir in her arms were "dead", and this Xiao Liang ran to himself over and over again, naturally for Xiao Tiantian.
This guy is walking a tightrope.
As the former "tightrope stage king",
General Zheng actually knew very well that Xiao Liang wanted to "seek wealth and danger",
Behind him, there is definitely no will from Emperor Yan, as for whether there is anyone else, Zheng Fan doesn't know, but this goods have come over several times, and it is really a little shameless.
In the front hall, Zheng Fan met Xiao Liang.
Xiao Liang's face is very white, and the Yan people generally have a rough face, this is the "little white face" in the Yan people, but it matches his profession very well.
"General Zheng, I'm here to bother again."
Xiao Liang got up and bowed his hand to Zheng Fan.
Zheng Fan nodded, didn't respond very enthusiastically, and instead sat on the chair, and his own maid came up to serve tea.
"I don't know if Xiao is at the helm coming to Shengle again, what is the so-called matter?"
"General Zheng, let's stop talking in secret, this is the third time that Xiao has come to General Zheng's territory, thinking about it, General Zheng also knows Xiao's purpose.
Xiao wants to see a person, just look at it, just one glance, this is Xiao's errand, and ask General Zheng to be accommodating.
In the future, General Zheng will not allow the secret spy department of Quhe City to do so. ”
In fact, Xiao Liang was the most helpless one, the first time he came, he was played Tai Chi by a blind scribe, and he went back in a daze.
The second time I came, I was painted by this General Zheng according to the gourd, and I played Tai Chi again, but I returned in vain.
This is the third time, as the so-called thing is only three, Xiao Liang thinks it is better to open the skylight and say bright words, although in this way, everyone has no room to move, but he really doesn't want to be fooled by the other party again.
"Xiao is at the helm and laughs, you want to meet people, the girl in the red tent in Shengle City, you can pick at will, Zheng is not talented, this bit of landlord friendship can still be afforded."
"Why is General Zheng bothering me? Xiao is already the third time. ”
"You know it's the third time, who's struggling with whom?"
"General Zheng, this is Xiao's errand, Xiao ........."
Zheng Fan immediately got up, left the seat, and knelt down,
"The last general Zheng Fan welcomes the holy decree, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
"............" Xiao forgiveness.
Zheng Fan raised his head, looked at Xiao Liang, and said with some doubts:
"Xiao at the helm, what about the Holy Decree?"
"So-and-so, so-and-so has no holy decree."
"No Divine Decree?"
Zheng Fan stood up from the ground, the smile on his face turned cold, and said:
"That's weird, what the hell are you going to do without a holy decree?"
"General Zheng, there are some things, can it invent the purpose?"
"Zheng is a military general, but he can't figure out these twists and turns, he looks at military orders when he fights, and he reads holy decrees on weekdays."
Xiao Liang couldn't help it, and said directly:
"General Zheng, you don't want everyone in the world to be fools, do you really think you can hide the matter of the son of the Marquis of Jingnan in your mansion?"
"Joke, Mrs. Jingnan Hou and her heirs died of illness halfway from Tianhu Mountain to pray for the Hou Ye, Your Majesty and the imperial court have sent people to condole, how did they get to the mouth of Xiao Helm, there is such an accident?
What is Lord Xiao's intention? ”
"What is Xiao's intention? You should ask General Zheng what your intentions are! ”
Zheng Fan shook his head, sat back on the chair, and picked up the tea.
Road:
"Please forgive Zheng for being busy with military affairs."
"Zheng Fan!" Xiao Liang said directly: "Here, it is the world of Dayan!" ”
Zheng didn't dare to say anything else, but he thought he was a big Yan Zhongliang, and he still had a clear conscience.
It's just that he is really busy with military affairs, and Zheng does have a lot of things to do. ”
"Busy with military affairs? General Zheng, are you so fooled when Xiao Mou? Today, that one, you let Xiao see it, don't let Xiao see it, Xiao can see it.
If General Zheng is bold, he can tie up Xiao, so that the world can see the majesty of your General Zheng! ”
"Xiao is at the helm, do you know, even if Grandpa Wei himself is here, he doesn't dare to speak like you, yes, our Hou Ye is self-proclaimed in the Hou Mansion, but do you really think that our Hou Ye can't come out?"
"Xiao's responsibility!"
"you." Zheng Fan scolded directly, "You kid want to fight out of the position and want to go crazy, there are some pits, do you think you can jump?" ”
"General Zheng, this time is different from the past."
"yes, it's not the same time it used to be."
Zheng Fan nodded and threw the teacup in his hand to the ground.
In fact, this play was not arranged in advance, but Zheng Fan felt that if he smashed a teacup, he should be able to hear the movement.
Sure enough, Ah Ming rushed in with a group of mansion armor soldiers behind him.
Xiao Liang looked around in some surprise, he couldn't believe that Zheng Fan really dared to do it to himself.
Zheng Fan pointed at Xiao Liang,
Road:
"Take it and hang me at the gate of the city for three days."
Ah Ming's eyes froze, and he said:
"Take it."
The armor stepped forward, Xiao Liang hesitated, did not resist, just hung for three days, not to kill him, he knew that if he resisted at this time, he would definitely not be able to get out of this general's mansion.
"General Zheng, you will pay the price for what you did today!"
Zheng Fan waved his hand, and the armor soldier escorted Xiao Liang down.
Ah Ming looked at Zheng Fan and asked:
"Lord, wouldn't this be a little too radical?"
Zheng Fan shook his head and said:
"He died of his own accord."
"Then we're like this, but we're slapping the secret spy in the face."
"The Great Prince is defeated." Zheng Fan said suddenly.
"Huh?"
"You say, who will the court let go out of the mountain again?"
Zheng Fan got up, patted Ah Ming's shoulder, and said:
"Sycophants, you have to do it early."

I was going to break out, but it seems that I have gastroenteritis, and I tossed up and down so badly that I can only write one chapter today, and I really can't write it.
