Chapter 1162 Do you dare?
Xia Fan originally wanted to stay in Yunhuanhu for some time so that he could focus more on completely digesting and integrating the annexed world and dealing with military and political affairs.
But before he could come and rest for half a day, Zhao Yi came with a piece of information. The first thing he said when he saw Xia Fan was: "Boss, the situation is not good. I don't know what crazy Liu Xingchen's old immortal suddenly went crazy. Today he suddenly launched a fierce attack. If you don't go to save him, the Bahu of the Xia family will be finished."
"Ha..." Xia Fan couldn't help laughing when he heard this. Because he knew why Liu Xingchen was crazy, he was obviously plotting against him before, so he was so angry that he wanted to vent his anger, so the Bahu of Xia family became a punching bag.
Whether to save or not, there is no need to consider this, it must be saved.
But when to save and how to save, we have to consider it carefully.
Xia Fan did not expect that he would make them grateful to him by saving the Bahu of the Xia family, and then bowed his head, but he absolutely did not want to be bitten by them after saving them.
"Save it must be saved." Xia Fan said.
"How many soldiers are needed? I will tell my third brother later and ask him to prepare money and food in advance." Zhao Wei said hurriedly.
"No need for a single soldier." Xia Fan shook his head and said, "It's enough to have me alone."
"Boss, although you are strong, Liu Xingchen, the immortal, has a million troops. Even if there are many miscellaneous soldiers, at least half of the powerful elites are strong. If you fight them alone, it is afraid that it is not safe." Zhao Yi persuaded with some concern.
"Who said I want to fight with them alone? I have a million troops hidden here." Xia Fan pointed to the pocket of Tian Tian with a flashing light on his waist and said, "If the fight really starts, it's hard to say who has more troops."
"Boss, if this is the case, we can completely attack the capital directly..." Zhao Wei's eyes lit up and he suggested directly.
"What then?" Xia Fan didn't agree, but just looked at Zhao Wei and asked.
"Uh." Zhao Wei subconsciously wanted to capture the capital and kill 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 was not very interested in the hegemony of the imperial map. Even if he had built such a large territory now, it was purely for other purposes, not for the purpose of becoming king.
Besides, Zhao Yiu is naturally not the kind of person with shallow eyes. After his thoughts just now, he thought that even if he really captured the capital and killed Liu Xingchen, Xia Fan might not be able to sit firmly in the world, and maybe the world would be in chaos soon.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yi smiled awkwardly and said, "It's nothing. I was confused just now and thought things too simple."
"I must kill Liu Xingchen." Xia Fan looked at Zhao Wei and said, "But I won't be the emperor. Then I will give the Thirteenth Prince a headache."
"Then there will definitely be quite a lot of headaches for him." Zhao Wei laughed and said, "Although the grassland was repelled, the Great Sun Demon Kingdom is eyeing it, especially with the internal and external troubles of the Han Dynasty, the Great Sun Demon Kingdom has also begun to move, and the troops on the border have been increasing secretly."
"It's a good job, and even got the information from the Great Sun Demon Kingdom." Xia Fan said with satisfaction.
"Well! This is not my credit, it was sent by my father to me, reminding us to be prepared early." Zhao Yi smiled embarrassedly and said, "At present, our eyeliner is mainly focused on the Han Dynasty, so we are a little negligent in collecting information from other countries."
"It should be tried to let go of the eyeliner." Xia Fan did not blame Zhao Wei. After all, the time for the intelligence system under their command was established was too short, and insufficient manpower was always a problem, so it was naturally impossible to cover everything.
However, since you realize the shortcomings, you must naturally correct them as soon as possible, especially since the intelligence is of great importance. If it is always severely lagging, it will inevitably have a great impact. Thinking of this, Xia Fan said: "Not only should you focus on the Great Sun Demon Kingdom, but don't let the Tianyu Empire go. The Great Sun Demon Kingdom advocates the magic path, and the eyeliner sent by you is best to be a demon cultivator. You can discuss it with Uncle Qi, maybe he can give you some good suggestions."
"I understand." Zhao Wei nodded.
Xia Fan glanced at the mountain of notes in front of him and frowned and said, "The territory is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more trivial matters. I often stay outside. I really don't know who to leave these things to deal with."
As he said that, Xia Fan looked at Zhao Wei.
"Boss, I'm still too busy with my own affairs. You should keep this important matter for yourself." Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhao Yiu hurriedly said goodbye and left.
"Don't hurry to leave, I have something to say." Xia Fan called him, and while flipping through the memorial, he replied casually, and said: "I will go to save Xia Hu and others later. I will definitely fight Liu Xingchen. Regardless of winning or losing, the situation will change. You send orders to Lu Chuan and Bu Fenghou, so that they can lead their troops to respond. If you have the chance, you will go straight to the hinterland of the Han Dynasty and resolve the current chaos as soon as possible."
"Okay." Zhao Wei agreed.
"In addition, if you discuss with the third brother, we have built up a larger and larger territory and more trivial matters. We will never do it ourselves. I thought it was time to set up the shelves of the various departments of the central government, and then draw elite officials from all over the place below to add them in." Xia Fan stopped the pen in his hand and said.
"How is the boss planning to build the structure of each central department?" Zhao Wei looked at Xia Fan and asked.
"Three provinces and six ministries." Xia Fan said: "They can handle all matters even when I am not here."
"Boss, if this happens, the people below may become uneasy, and may cause a big disaster in the future." Zhao Wei advised.
"What's there to be restless? Who dares to be restless?" Xia Fan smiled indifferently: "If there is such a person who is not afraid of death, just slap it to death, why worry?"
"Ah! Haha... I'm confused again." Zhao Yi was stunned at first, and then burst into laughter. Only then did he realize that he was thinking too complicatedly.
Although power may not be dispensable to Xia Fan now, it is definitely not particularly important. Therefore, he didn't care much about it. Now he wants to build a stance of three provinces and six ministries in order to share the military and political affairs in his hands.
As for whether those below will fight with him after they have power, or even want to seek power and usurp the throne, it is not something Xia Fan needs to worry about. With his current strength, who can steal things from him? With his two hearts, killing is just like, why do you need to say too much?
After discussing the matter, Xia Fan also handled the memorial properly, and then left the Grand Marshal's Mansion with Zhao Wei, and then went his separate ways.
Xia Fan has always been very concerned about the war between the Bahu of the Xia family and Liu Xingchen, so he doesn't have to ask Zhao Wei anymore and knows their current location.
Since the agreement on that day, the eight tigers of the Xia family have been divided into three routes to attack the capital. 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 Bahu of the Xia family suffered a considerable loss, so they had to change their attack into defense and unite to confront Liu Xingchen.
They each occupied Chenchuan, Mingzhou and Babuling as strategic support points, and then relied on the territory between these three places that spanned thousands of miles to confront Liu Xingchen.
Chenchuan and Mingzhou are two big cities with a population of one million, while Babuling is an extremely dangerous mountain. It has always been a place where military strategists must fight for. Many cities and fortresses have been built here.
These three places are thousands of miles apart. If you look down from a high altitude, you 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. However, as Liu Xingchen suddenly launched a dream attack today, the original situation was completely broken.
Especially Xia Hu, Xia Lei and Xia Yu, who occupied Babuling, felt the pressure increased sharply, but because the terrain of Babuling was dangerous and could not be missed, he had to grit his teeth and hold on.
However, seeing the continuous casualties of his troops, Xia Hu was not careful and sent people to ask for help from Xia Lu and Xia Chen who occupied Chenchuan City, and Xia Feng and Xia Guang who occupied Mingzhou City.
However, they were also under the fierce attacks of the Han Dynasty. They had to protect themselves and had no extra strength to support him, so they asked him to find a way. If it really didn't work, go and ask Xia Xue.
Although Xia Xue, among the Eight Tigers of the Xia family, is naturally aggressive and has no interest in power and status. Although she was surrounded by others, she did not enter any of Babu Ridge, Chen Chuan City or Mingzhou City, but led her own troops to wander in the territory between the three.
In this regard, Xia Xue said that in order not to give the soldiers of the Han Dynasty the opportunity to circumvent other places, he divided the three parts and surrounded them and then captured them one by one.
In fact, she just felt that there were more opportunities to meet enemies in this way and could fight happily.
Because Xia Xue led her troops around, it was not easy for Xia Hu to find her even if she wanted to ask for help. As a result, there was no other way except to curse her secretly.
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 forward any further, otherwise you will enter the ambush of the Han Dynasty." Xia Fan appeared directly in front of Xia Xue, who was running wildly, and said lightly.
The horse that Xia Xue rode was covered with scales and horns on her head. When she was exhaling, she was full of sparks, which was obviously not an ordinary mount. At this time, when she saw Xia Fan suddenly appear, the horse was not frightened, but instead bit him.
At this moment, Xia Fan discovered that the horse's mouth was covered with sharp teeth, and there was a rush of fire in the depths of his throat, which seemed to be spitting fire at any time.
Of course, Xia Fan would not tolerate the horse's fierceness and slapped it out casually. With Xia Fan's strength, if it was really a fan, let alone this fire dragon horse with a little dragon bloodline, even a real dragon would definitely be broken and broken.
"Xia Fan, you dare!" With an angry shout, Xia Xue, who was riding on the back of the Fire Dragon Horse, suddenly pulled out a spear and poked towards Xia Fan.
Xia Xue likes fighting and practices all year round, so her strength is naturally not weak. Now she has the strength of the early stage of the Grandmaster realm, which is also the confidence that she dares to run around outside with her troops.
The spear made anger and the light shot out, and the energy surged outwards, rustling loudly in the void, making a loud rumbling sound, with a very good momentum.
