In the following time, Nie Zheng discussed some things with Jia and Yi about the military and political aspects of Annan, and to put it mildly, he just wanted to make Annan develop and grow as soon as possible. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After all, the Huns may come to the Yuan River at any time, and only by preparing in advance will they not be in a mess when the time comes.

Although Nie Zheng now has a large number of arms, weapons and funds, no matter how advanced the weapons are, it is only an advantage on the battlefield, but some logistics deployments before and after the war, as well as all kinds of aftermath management, still need Jia Xiufang and others to be able to make proper arrangements.

Nie Zheng has never been afraid of war, and for him, attacking cities and villages has long been as simple as eating and drinking, but even if he drives away the Xiongnu in the future, the dozens of states and counties occupied and captured by the Huns will need a large number of talents to govern and a large number of troops to garrison.

This is a very troublesome matter, and with Nie Zheng's current strength, it is estimated that it is still somewhat insufficient.

The 100,000 recruits who are being trained, plus the four major legions and the 8,000 Black Eagle Legions, have a total of less than 130,000 troops, and with these troops, it may not be a big problem to dominate Annan, but if you want to continue to expand your territory, it is obviously a little stretched.

After waiting for 100,000 recruits to be trained, and the entire Annan completely on the right track of development and growth, Nie Zheng felt that it was enough to train another 200,000 troops.

With Annan's current population of nearly 10 million people, it should not be difficult to recruit 500,000 soldiers for military service, anyway, after he went to the Immortal City last time, he received tens of millions of taels of gold and silver, and he would not have too much pressure on the military salary and food consumption of hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

Suddenly, Nie Zheng suddenly remembered a person, the black, thin-faced native who had been captured in Nanyang last time.

The black thin face was the intelligence leader who was planted in Annan County by the Da Yue people back then, and it seemed that he was the hall master of the Shadow Hall, and that guy told Nie Zheng a lot of secrets in order to survive, saying that there were still five hundred shadow dead people lurking in Annan County.

Later, under his leadership, Nie Zheng drove a destroyer to capture the Giant Whale Islands where the remnants of Dayue were hiding, and also killed Sang Kang's son Sang Kang.

After attacking the Giant Whale Islands, Nie Zheng ordered fifty clone soldiers to escort the black thin face and his family to Annan, but he didn't know where Jia Xiufang put this guy under house arrest.

Thinking of this, Nie Zheng hurriedly asked Jia Xiufang, "Xiufang, where is the leader of the Da Yue people's secret agents who I ordered someone to escort back from Nanyang last time?" ”

Jia Xiufang was stunned for a moment, and said, "What did the big marshal say, but that Shadow Hall Master Baron?" ”

"So his name is Baron?"

Nie Zheng nodded and said, "It's him, the secret letter I ordered someone to bring you earlier, you should have read it, that Baron said that there are five hundred shadow dead lurking in Annan County, I don't know if you have pulled them all out?" ”

Jia Xiufang nodded and said: "Those Dayue secret agents hidden in Annan have secretly sent people to solve all of them half a month ago. Now, his subordinates have settled the Baron family in a hidden courtyard in the west of Yangzhou, and sent a few guards to follow the monitoring. ”

"It's good to be honest, as long as the Baron family doesn't have any abnormal behavior, they will ensure that their family has no worries about food and clothing in Annan, and if they are found to have different intentions, they will be killed!"

"Yes, Marshal."

At this time, Yi Zixuan, who was sitting on the right side of the desk, suddenly spoke: "That Baron is a rare intelligence talent, but it's a pity that he is a Dayue person, otherwise, Da Shuai can be reused." ”

Nie Zheng shook his head and said: "If it is not my race, its heart will be different, and it is already my limit to keep him alive, a foreigner like this, no matter how strong his ability is, he must not be reused." ”

Hearing this, Jia and Yi nodded, feeling that Nie Zheng's worry was not unreasonable.

After chatting for a while, the sky gradually brightened, and at this time, Nie Zheng asked the two of them to go back to rest, after all, Yi Zixuan and Jia Xiufang were in high positions, and there were countless things to be busy on weekdays, and when they were tired and tired, they were far more than Nie Zheng.

Returning tonight, let them wait all night, and Nie Zheng was a little unhappy in his heart.

After Jia Xiufang and Yi Zixuan left, Nie Zheng ordered someone to summon Xue Wanwan over.

Not long after, Xue Wanwan, dressed in a playful green shirt, appeared in the study.

"The slave has seen the handsome!"

"No courtesy."

Nie Zheng looked up at her a few times, and found that this girl hadn't seen her for two months, and she was full of energy. After being the chief housekeeper of the county government for a few months, the whole person reveals a shrewd and capable, especially her crooked little eyes, which still look so clever and cunning.

Xue Wanwan saw that Nie Zheng was always staring at him, and immediately blushed, and pouted: "Why does my uncle keep staring at Wanwan, could it be that Wanwan's face is full of flowers?" ”

Nie Zheng shook his head and smiled, and said, "I haven't seen you for a few months, but your little housekeeper has done a good job, and you have only taken care of the entire county mansion inside and out, which is not bad, and it is worthy of praise." ”

Receiving his uncle's praise, Xue Wanwan was very happy in his heart, and immediately rolled his eyes, and said with a grin: "Since my uncle thinks that Wanwan, the housekeeper, has done a good job, should I also give Wanwan some rewards." ”

Nie Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, I don't know what reward you want?" ”

"I ...... I want to see the white horse Tanhua, and I want him to ...... for me Make a picture for me. Speaking of this, Xue Wanwan's face was almost red to the base of his neck.

Seeing this scene, Nie Zheng was stunned for a moment, "White Horse Tanhua? What the hell is he? ”

………………

Before I knew it, it was finally completely bright.

Nie Zheng sat in his bedroom, holding a silver-white thermos cup in his hand, and the thermos cup contained a seven-colored spirit fruit, which he was going to give to Shen Hongyu later.

Last time he left from the Immortal City, Nie Zheng carried a total of four spirit fruits, devoured one by himself, and had three left.

Originally, the three seven-colored spirit fruits were all packed in the same thermos cup, but later, in order to facilitate access, on the way back to Yangzhou last night, Nie Zheng took advantage of the twelve o'clock in the middle of the night to separate and save all the three seven-colored spirit fruits.

Today's sky is still a little gloomy, if there is no accident, it is estimated that some rain will fall today.

Estimating that Shen Hongyu had already gotten up at this time, Nie Zheng took the spirit fruit and walked towards the depths of Jinlin Garden with a brisk expression.

Along the way, the people who were busy getting up early in the county government, after seeing Nie Zheng, bowed down one after another from afar, and Nie Zheng also nodded in response when he saw this, smiling.

After leaving Jinlin Garden for two months, this time he returned home, Nie Zheng felt that Jinlin Garden had completely changed.

In the huge back garden, the flowers are clustered, thousands of purples and thousands of reds, whether it is the pond rockery or the surrounding of the pavilions, are planted with gorgeous flowers and plants, colorful butterflies fluttering in the garden, it is very beautiful.

Seeing this beautiful garden scene, Nie Zheng was amazed in his heart, and secretly said, with Shen Hongyu and Xue Wanwan in the county mansion, the scenery is different.

Walking through this pleasing landscape, Nie Zheng soon came to the end of Jinlin Garden.

In the distance, he saw a graceful red shadow, standing in the Langfang outside the wing, looking at the few red trees in front of him, in a daze.

After seeing Shen Hongyu, Nie Zheng's heart trembled, and he slowly lightened his pace.

I haven't seen her for two months, Shen Hongyu seems to have lost a lot, and her appearance is still as beautiful as a flower, but her expression is a little tired and haggard, and Nie Zheng feels pity and guilt in her heart.

Taking a deep breath, Nie Zheng slowly walked around the corridor, gently walked behind Shen Hongyu, who was still in a daze, and said softly: "Get up so early, why don't you sleep for a while." ”

Shen Hongyu's delicate body trembled, and she slowly turned her head, and a light smile appeared on her bright face, "You're back." ”

Nie Zheng gently stretched out his hands, hugged her soft waist gently, pressed against her warm and jade-like cheeks, and murmured: "Hongyu, these days, I miss you very much." ”

A trace of warmth flashed in Shen Hongyu's beautiful eyes, and she gently leaned on his not wide chest, and sighed: "If you don't come back, I will go to sea to find you." ”

Nie Zheng's heart moved, and he said, "You know everything?" ”

Shen Hongyu caressed Nie Zheng's hands around her waist and said, "My father-in-law told me." ”

Nie Zheng secretly smiled bitterly, and said in his heart that this Yi Zixuan was really Shen Hongyu's father-in-law, and he couldn't hide anything from her.

"Didn't I come back safely?" Nie Zheng kissed her lightly on the cheek and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have already found the legendary seven-colored spirit fruit, as long as you take it, you will soon be able to recover your strength and injuries, and then you will be the master lady of our family again." ”

Hearing this, Shen Hongyu sighed softly, turned her head to stare deeply into Nie Zheng's eyes, and said in a low voice: "I don't care if you can recover your strength or not, as long as you are safe and sound, even if it is for me to be an ordinary woman, I am willing." ”

Nie Zheng's heart trembled and he was silent.

After being silent for a long time, Nie Zheng looked at her with tenderness in his eyes, lightly imprinted a mark on her soft red lips, and murmured: "But I care, you are injured for me, I only hope that you can be by my side as young and energetic as before, and then stay together until old age." ”

Shen Hongyu smiled, and then gently leaned her head on his shoulder.

Nie Zheng caressed her pretty face and said in a low voice: "It's humid outside, you are weak now, let's go back to the room." ”

"Hmm." Shen Hongyu nodded meekly, and then let Nie Zheng carry her back into the room.

At this time, some maids and gardeners who were busy nearby, after seeing this scene, all hung their heads and retreated.
