Gong Jingxiao and the three of them stopped Xia Fan only a small episode, and it didn't affect him much, and it didn't even delay him too much.

Then Xia Fan headed towards Yong'an County again, but stopped halfway through, because he saw in the air that a large number of soldiers and horses were attacking the city outside a city below, and judging from the banner, it was the army led by Lu Chuan.

Xia Fan was in the air, and he could clearly see that although the battle was fierce, the victory or defeat was already very obvious, and it was already a sure thing for his army to break through the city.

"Well done. Xia Fan's eyes swept and saw Lu Chuan in the rear, so he flew over.

"See Generalissimo. When Lu Chuan saw Xia Fan, he hurriedly gave a military salute. Due to the armor, there is no way to make a big salute, but the attitude is quite respectful.

"What is the situation now?" Xia Fan waved his hand at him, signaling him to excuse himself, looked at the battle on the city in front of him, and asked casually.

"Returning to the Generalissimo, at present, our army has captured seventy percent of the territory of Baocang Province, and the remaining thirty percent is believed to be able to take it within ten days. As he spoke, Lu Chuan motioned left and right to take the map, and after unfolding it, he pointed to the counties of Baocang Province and explained to Xia Fan in detail, those have been captured, and those will be the next targets.

"It's a little slow. Xia Fan frowned, then looked at Lu Chuan and said, "Is the resistance you encountered very strong?"

"That's true. Lu Chuan nodded and said: "After Cao Shiping led his troops to attack Yong'an County and was defeated, he did not give up, so he constantly mobilized the troops of various counties to fight with us, almost one city after another to compete with us, so the speed of the attack was slower." ”

"What about those insider lines that Zhao Weiwei and Liu Yu Linglong bought before, didn't they play any role?" Xia Fan asked.

"At first, it did play a great role, and the inside and outside should be able to capture the city very quickly. Lu Chuan smiled bitterly: "It's just that later Cao Shiping took precautions and kept replacing the original guards and defenders, so that it was not easy to imagine that the inside and outside should be as good as before." ”

Lu Chuan glanced at Xia Fan and said: "Even another internal backlash, helping Cao Shiping to calculate us in turn, if they hadn't revealed some flaws and were discovered by us, I'm afraid that the casualties would be very serious." ”

"What happened to it later?" Xia Fan asked with a cold look in his eyes.

"Forcibly attack the city, and after breaking the city, kill the whole family of the anti-water inner line, in order to warn and deter the other inner lines at both ends of the first rat. Lu Chuan said.

"Well done. Xia Fan nodded and said: "That's how it should be, you must let everyone know one thing, that is, those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me die, you did a good job, and then do it according to your plan." ”

Speaking of this, Xia Fan thought for a while and said, "I believe that you will definitely be able to take the Baocang Province, but I want you to let Cao Shiping go back alive." ”

"Why is this?" Lu Chuan said a little puzzled.

"Cao Shiping is not a simple person. Xia Fan said: "I always feel that there is some unknown force hidden behind him, and Liu Xingchen must have noticed it, so he casually found an excuse to send him over to oppose us." ”

Xia Fan sneered: "Liu Xingchen wants to borrow a knife to kill people, and then push the disaster water to our side, how can it be so easy, so we have to throw this hot taro back as it is, and let Liu Xingchen have a headache himself." ”

"Generalissimo wise. Lu Chuan praised.

"You know what to do. Xia Fan then asked a few more questions, and after instructing Lu Chuan a few words, he quietly left again.

Of course, Xia Fan knew that if he appeared in front of the army and showed his face and said a few words, he would definitely be able to boost his morale even more, but he didn't do it. Because since he chose to hand over the army to Lu Chuan, it was time to believe in his abilities, and at the same time, he should maintain his authority in this army.

If Xia Fan appeared too often, it would only weaken the prestige that belonged to Lu Chuan, which would be detrimental to his commanding troops.

However, Xia Fan was not worried that Lu Chuan's prestige would be too heavy, and he would eventually make this army his private army. As long as Xia Fan is here, Lu Chuan will definitely be honest, Xia Fan is very sure of this.

Then Xia Fan went to Yong'an County again, but saw that Zhao Weiwei and Liu Yulinglong were frowning and didn't know what they were discussing, and even argued from time to time, the voice was so loud that the attendants around them were trembling.

"What are you two talking about, so excited?" Xia Fan pushed the door in and asked casually.

"Oh, boss, you're going to kill me. As soon as he saw Xia Fan appear, Liu Yulinglong was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly shook his round body to greet him, and stretched out his hand to give Xia Fan a hug.

"That's how you think of me, why do I think you've gained weight lately?" Xia Fan glanced at Liu Yu Linglong and said with a smile.

"You're not here recently, I've been thinking about you every day, I'm not worried, others must be thinking about tea and food when they encounter this, but I'm more and more worried about eating more, and the result is a little mellower. Liu Yu Linglong touched his stomach and said, "Boss, you know me, right?"

"Yes, yes, I'm impressed. What else could Xia Fan say, he nodded hurriedly, and then changed the topic and said, "What were you talking about just now?"

"A good thing and a bad thing, which one does the boss want to hear first?" Zhao Weiwei said.

"Good thing. Xia Fan said casually.

"The good thing is that since my sister-in-law took charge of the army, she has rushed and struck, first defeating the army of the Holy Dragon Kingdom that has invaded the Divine Eye Country, until she completely destroyed them, and then counterattacked the Holy Dragon Kingdom with great prestige. "Zhao is the only one who is serious and authentic.

"What about the bad thing?" Xia Fan glanced at him: "It won't have anything to do with this." ”

"The boss is wise. Zhao Weiwei shook the fan in his hand and said: "Sister-in-law is not winning battles all the way, she is still constantly collecting the defeated army, and she has already collected almost 500,000 troops from the Holy Dragon Kingdom alone." ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Weiwei stretched out five fingers and shook them in front of Xia Fan and said: "Boss, this is 500,000 people, even if we don't have to worry about armor and weapons, but we have to supply grain, herbs, pills, and military salaries, but now we have such a large territory, where did we get so much money and food! ”

"Hasn't the Divine Eye Kingdom already been taken?" Xia Fan frowned.

"The territory has been conquered, but it will always take a process to make the people of the Divine Eyes Kingdom accept our rule with peace of mind, and at this time, we will collect money and food, I am afraid that it will lead to their rebellion. Liu Yulinglong shook his head and said.

"What about the military rations and silver that the Divine Eyes Kingdom originally stockpiled?" Xia Fan asked.

"Some of them were robbed by the army of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, and some were robbed by the army of the Divine Eye Kingdom. Liu Yulinglong said: "This is a confused account, it is difficult to find out at all, if the investigation is too much, maybe the people who originally obeyed us will be forced to rebel." ”

"No wonder you two are so worried, you think about this matter too complicated. Xia Fan shook his head with a smile and said: "The things that should be recovered still have to be investigated, and the things that should be recovered have to be recovered for a penny, and those who do not return them, or even want to rebel because of this, are unwilling to be loyal to us, should be arrested and killed, what is there to hesitate." ”

"But we're afraid that this will cause chaos again?" Zhao Wei frowned.

"It's chaotic, it's chaotic, how can it be peaceful if it's not chaotic for a while. Xia Fan flicked his finger and said: "You have to be clear about one thing, that is, whether we are in the Divine Eye Country or the Holy Dragon Country, we are all victors and conquerors, and we naturally enjoy the right to be high, and before they really become the people who surrender to us, there is no need to be too polite to them." ”

Speaking of this, Xia Fan's face was a little more cold and said: "Those who dare to snatch the food and salary of the Shenmu Kingdom army are definitely not only the chaotic army, but also the local family, only they have such courage and ability, if they are let go, they will only be more arrogant in the future." ”

"So this time, you don't need to worry too much about it, send people you can trust to go down and go to Yukong Yue to transfer some soldiers and horses, but those soldiers who originally surrendered from the Divine Eye Country want the soldiers and horses who surrendered from the Holy Dragon Country, and then let them help you track down. ”

"Check city by city, which family has robbed something and taken advantage of us, then punish which family, don't be afraid of chaos, if they dare to rebel, anyway, what Yu Kongyue has in his hands is soldiers, and it will be over if he suppresses it directly. ”

Speaking of this, Xia Fan paused slightly, letting Zhao Weiwei and Liu Yu Linglong understand their words, before continuing: "We are not successors, but pioneers, the last thing we are afraid of is chaos, whoever dares to mess with it will be severely punished, and the troubled times will be punished, this is nothing." ”

"Only by disrupting the original rules and regulations that are unfavorable to us, cleaning up these family forces that may affect our rule, or making them completely surrender, can we rule this new dynasty according to our ideas. When Xia Fan said this, he patted Zhao Weiwei and Liu Yulinglong on the shoulders and said, "Before that, there is nothing we dare not do." ”

"As soon as the boss said this, I had the bottom in my heart. Zhao Weiwei said with a smile.

"Hmm. Liu Yulinglong also smiled and said: "Actually, I have long looked at some people who are not very pleasing to the eye, but I have been enduring it for the sake of stability, and with the boss's words, then I don't have to be polite." ”

"That's good. Xia Fan nodded and said: "Take out the lawless energy when we were in the capital, play it well, as long as the army is firmly controlled by us, then no one can turn the sky upside down." ”

Xia Fan chatted with Zhao Weiwei and Liu Yulinglong for a while, and after finalizing some specific things, he said goodbye and left.

Zhao Weiwei and Liu Yu Linglong did not sit idle, but acted separately.

Although they have been staying in Yong'an County all the time, Zhao Wei's eyeliner and secret agents have spread all over the Divine Eyes Kingdom and the Holy Dragon Kingdom, and the connection between them and the Thirteen Princes has never been severed.
