Xia Fan originally wanted to stay in Yunhuanhu for a while, so that he could focus more on completely digesting and integrating the annexed world, and deal with military and political affairs by the way.

But before he had to rest for half a day, Zhao Weiwei came with a piece of information, and the first thing he said when he saw Xia Fan was: "Boss, the situation is not very good, I don't know what kind of madness Liu Xingchen's old immortal suddenly went crazy, and today he suddenly launched a fierce attack, if you don't save it, the Eight Tigers of the Xia family will be finished." ”

"Heh......" When Xia Fan heard this, he couldn't help laughing. Because he knew why Liu Xingchen went crazy, he was obviously calculated by himself before, so that he was deflated, and he was angry and wanted to vent, so the Eight Tigers of the Xia family became a punching bag.

To save or not to save, this does not need to be considered, it must be saved.

But when to save it and how to save it, you have to think carefully.

Xia Fan didn't expect that saving the Eight Tigers of the Xia family would make them grateful to him, and then bow down, but he definitely didn't want to be bitten by them after saving them.

"To save is to be saved. Xia Fan said.

"How many soldiers and horses do you need?" I'll talk to the third child later, and ask him to prepare money and food in advance. Zhao Wei was busy.

"Not a single soldier or horse. Xia Fan shook his head and said, "It's enough to have me alone." ”

"Boss, although your strength is strong, but Liu Xingchen's old immortal is with an army of millions, even if there are many miscellaneous soldiers among them, but there are at least more than half of the elites with strong strength, you fight with them alone, I'm afraid it's not very safe." Zhao Wei persuaded with some apprehension.

"Who said I was going to fight them single-handedly, I have a million troops hiding here. Xia Fan pointed to the sky-swallowing pocket that was shining brightly on his waist, and said, "If it really starts, it's hard to say who has more soldiers and horses." ”

"Boss, if that's the case, we can directly attack the capital......" Zhao Weiwei's eyes lit up and he suggested directly.

"And then?" Xia Fan didn't say anything, just looked at Zhao Wei and asked.

"Ugh. Zhao Wei subconsciously wanted to say that he captured the capital and killed Liu Xingchen, and then Xia Fan could ascend the throne as emperor.

But then he thought that Xia Fan had said many times that he was pursuing immortality, and he was not much interested in the Emperor's hegemony. Even if such a large territory is conquered now, it is purely for another purpose, not for the sake of hegemony.

Besides, Zhao Wei is from an extraordinary background, and naturally he is not the kind of person with shallow vision, after thinking just now, he thought that even if he really captured the capital and killed Liu Xingchen, Xia Fan may not be able to sit firmly in the world, and if he doesn't do it, the world will be in chaos immediately.

Thinking of this, Zhao Wei smiled awkwardly and said, "It's nothing, I was confused just now, and I thought about things too simply." ”

"Liu Xingchen, I must kill him. Xia Fan looked at Zhao Weiwei and said, "But I won't be the emperor, so let the thirteen princes have a headache when the time comes." ”

"Then he will have a lot of headaches. Zhao Wei laughed and said: "Although the grassland has been repulsed, the Great Sun Demon Kingdom is eyeing it, especially with the internal and external troubles of the Great Han Dynasty, the Great Sun Demon Kingdom has also begun to move, and the soldiers and horses on the border have been secretly increasing. ”

"Good job, even got the information of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom. Xia Fan said with satisfaction.

"Ahem! It's not my credit, my father sent someone to send it to me, reminding us to take precautions. Zhao Wei smiled embarrassedly, and then said: "Right now, the eyeliner in our hands is mainly focused on the Han Dynasty, so we are a little negligent in collecting intelligence from other countries." ”

"It's time to try to get the eyeliner out. Xia Fan didn't blame Zhao Weiwei, after all, the time for the establishment of their intelligence system was still too short, and the lack of manpower was always a problem, so it was naturally impossible to cover everything.

However, since he realized the shortcomings, he naturally had to correct them as soon as possible, especially since the intelligence was very important, if it was always seriously delayed, it would inevitably have a great impact, thinking of this, Xia Fan said: "Not only do you have to keep an eye on the Great Sun Demon Kingdom, but even the Tianyu Empire should not let go." The Great Sun Demon Kingdom advocates the Demon Dao, and the best eyeliner sent is a demon cultivator, you can discuss it with Uncle Seven, maybe he can give you some good advice. ”

"Understood. Zhao Wei nodded.

Xia Fan glanced at the mountains of folds in front of him, frowned, and said: "The territory is getting bigger and bigger, there are more and more trivial matters, and I am often outside, I really don't know who to hand over these things to." ”

As he spoke, Xia Fan looked at Zhao Weiwei.

"Boss, I'm still too busy with my own affairs, so you should keep these big things to yourself. Zhao Wei saw that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly said goodbye and left.

"Don't rush to leave, I have something to say. Xia Fan stopped him, and while looking through the folds, he replied casually, and said: "I will go to save Xia Hu and others later, and I will definitely have a big battle with Liu Xingchen, no matter whether I win or lose, the situation will change, you send an order to Lu Chuan and Bu Fenghou, let them lead the troops to respond, if there is a chance, go straight to the hinterland of the Han Dynasty and solve the current chaos as soon as possible." ”

"Good. Zhao Wei agreed to come down.

"In addition, you and the third brother have a discussion, the territory we have beaten down is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more trivial matters, and we can't do it by ourselves after all, I think it's time to put up the shelves of the various departments in the center, and then draw elite officials from all over below to supplement them. Xia Fan stopped the pen in his hand and said.

"How is the boss going to build the structure of the various departments of the center?" Zhao Wei looked at Xia Fan and asked.

"Three provinces and six ministries. Xia Fan said: "Decentralize power, even when I am not there, they can handle all kinds of affairs." ”

"Boss, in this case, I'm afraid that the people below will become uneasy, and I am afraid that it will cause a big disaster in the future. Zhao only persuaded.

"What is there to be restless, who dares to be restless?" Xia Fan smiled nonchalantly: "If there is really such a person who is not afraid of death, just slap him to death, why worry?"

"Ahh......h I'm confused again. Zhao Wei was stunned for a moment, and then immediately burst out laughing. That's when he realized that he had overcomplicated things.

Although power may not be dispensable for Xia Fan now, it is definitely not particularly important, so he doesn't care much in his heart, and now he wants to build a shelf of three provinces and six ministries, in order to share the military and political affairs in his hands.

As for whether those people below will fight with him after they have power, or even want to seek power and usurp the throne, that is not something Xia Fan needs to worry about at all. With his current strength, who can snatch something from him. With two hearts, killing is, why don't you say more.

After discussing the main matter, Xia Fan also handled the recital properly, and then went out of the Generalissimo's Mansion with Zhao Weiwei, and then went their separate ways.

Xia Fan has always been very concerned about the battle between the Eight Tigers of the Xia family and Liu Xingchen, so he doesn't have to ask Zhao Wei anymore to know their current location.

Since the agreement of the day, the Eight Tigers of the Xia family divided into three ways to attack the capital, and at first the progress was quite smooth, but as they got closer and closer to the hinterland of the Han Dynasty, the resistance suffered became more and more fierce.

When they collided with the million-strong army led by Liu Xingchen, the Eight Tigers of the Xia family suffered a big loss, so that they had to change their offense to defense and unite to confront Liu Xingchen.

They each occupied Chenchuan, Mingzhou and Babuling as strategic support points, and then relied on the territory spanning thousands of miles between these three places to confront Liu Xingchen.

Chenchuan and Mingzhou are two large cities with a population of one million, while Babuling is an extremely dangerous mountain range, which has always been a battleground for soldiers, and many cities and fortresses have been built here.

These three places are separated by thousands of miles, and if you look at them from a high altitude, they basically form a relatively regular triangle.

With the help of the terrain, the Eight Tigers of the Xia family barely maintained the confrontation with Liu Xingchen. It's just that with Liu Xingchen suddenly launching a dream attack today, the original situation was completely broken.

Especially Xia Hu, who occupied Babu Ridge, Xia Lei and Xia Yu felt the pressure increase sharply, but because the terrain of Babu Ridge was dangerous and could not be lost, they had to grit their teeth and hold on.

However, seeing the continuous casualties of his soldiers and horses, Xia Hu couldn't take care of it anymore, and constantly sent people to ask for help from Xia Lu and Xia Chen, who were entrenched in Chen Chuan City, and Xia Feng and Xia Guang, who occupied Mingzhou City.

It's just that the reply he got was that they were also suffering from the fierce attack of the Han Dynasty, and they had no extra strength to support him to protect themselves, so let him figure out his own way, and if it didn't work, he would go and ask Xia Xue.

Although Xia Xue in the Eight Tigers of the Xia family is a woman who is naturally aggressive, she has no interest in power or anything, and although she was surrounded here with others, she did not enter any of Babu Ridge, Chen Chuan City and Mingzhou City, but led her own soldiers and horses to wander in the territory between the three.

In this regard, Xia Xue said that it was to prevent the soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty from having the opportunity to outflank them from other places, divide and surround the three places, and then capture them one by one.

In fact, she just thinks that this way she has more chances to encounter the enemy, and she can fight happily.

Because Xia Xue led her troops around, it was not easy for Xia Hu to find her even if he wanted to ask for help, and as a result, there was no other way than to scold her for a while.

At this time, Xia Hu couldn't find Xia Xue, but Xia Fan easily found Xia Xue.

"Xia Xue, I advise you not to go any further, otherwise you will enter the ambush of the Han Dynasty. Xia Fan appeared directly in front of Xia Xue, who was galloping on a horse, and said lightly.

The horse that Xia Xue was riding was covered with scales and armor, with horns on its head, and when she exhaled, sparks erupted, obviously it was not an ordinary mount, and at this time, seeing Xia Fan suddenly appear, the horse was not frightened, but opened its mouth and bit it.

At this time, Xia Fan found that the horse's mouth was full of sharp teeth, and there was even more fire surging in the depths of his throat, and he had the posture of spitting fire at any time.

Of course, Xia Fan would not tolerate the ferocity of this horse, and slapped it out casually. With Xia Fan's strength, if he really fanned it, not to mention that this was just a fire dragon horse with a little dragon blood, even if it was a real dragon, he would definitely be beaten to the bones and broken tendons.

"Xia Fan, you dare!" In the angry shout, Xia Xue, who was riding on the back of the fire dragon horse, suddenly pulled out a spear and stabbed it at Xia Fan.

Xia Xue likes to fight, she has been cultivating all year round, and her strength is naturally not weak, and now she has the strength of the early stage of the Grandmaster Realm, which is also where she dares to take the soldiers and horses to run outside.

This thorn shot out angrily, the light shot out, the energy surged out, and the shaking void made a loud rumbling sound, and the momentum was quite good.

It's just that when facing Xia Fan, this kind of strength is really not enough, so Xia Fan didn't bother to dodge, just bent his fingers and flicked.
