Chapter 69 Borrowing a Knife to Kill (2/3)
After solving Gongsun Sheng's affairs, Fang Mu thought that his father asked him to go to him after he finished his work, so he asked Jie Zhen to take Gongsun Sheng down to rest. He gave Jie Zhen a wink and asked him to be careful not to let Gongsun Sheng run away. Jie Zhen was alert and nodded in his understanding.
Fang Mu then went to Ning Haijun to ask for his father.
"I want to tell you something first." Fang Tianding retreated and said to Fang Mu. "The court sent someone to find your grandfather two days ago. The court wanted us to quell the rebellion of Song Jiang. I heard that you had a conflict with Liangshan, so I came to you to learn something."
Fang Mu felt a chill in his heart, and the court was about to use a knife to kill people.
There are spies from the court everywhere in the world, and what happened recently in Jiangnan naturally came into the eyes of the court.
I believe that any emperor will be afraid of the behavior of recruiting soldiers and horses under his command. The family is still too anxious. Now, Sima Zhao's heart is well known to everyone. As long as a smart person, the Fang family is not very peaceful.
But there is nothing we can do about this. If the Fang family wants to grow, they will be small, and it is inevitable that they will be discovered.
Fang Mu sighed in his heart.
Although the Fang family did not rebellion with Tian Hu and others at the same time, the court could not watch themselves and others grow stronger.
This day will come sooner or later, and it will come earlier than you expected.
"What did grandpa think? The court is killing people with a knife." Fang Mu asked.
The helmsman of the Fang family is still Fang La in name. His father and several uncles trust their grandfather very much. If their grandfather makes any decisions, they generally won't refuse.
"Your grandfather wants to agree. It is better to beat Liangshan than to beat Wang Qing," said Fang Tianding.
Fang Mu frowned, of course for the moment.
"Liangshan is not that easy to deal with. The main reason is that the terrain of Liangshan is very good. We must have a navy army to enter Liangshan. However, Liangshan is isolated and has not understood it with the outside world. Could it be that we would not build ships on the spot at the foot of Liangshan?" Fang Mu pointed out the biggest difficulty in attacking Liangshan.
If you want to attack Liangshan, you must have a navy army. Without navy, you can fight Liangshan.
The court clearly asked them to die!
The idea of direct rebellion even emerged in Fang Mu's mind.
It is always better to let Liangshan beat them than to let them beat Liangshan.
At least this is Jiangnan, which is the place they have operated for hundreds of years.
"The rivers of Liangshan are lakes, and only small boats are enough. It is not difficult to build a ship. Your grandfather also thinks so. Liangshan is not enough. After destroying Liangshan to show his loyalty, it will at least last us for several years of cultivation." Fang Tianding said.
"Father, you should know that even if we win, we will definitely suffer heavy losses. Without the support of the troops, we will be slaughtered sooner or later. Look at why the court did not send people to destroy Tian Hu and Wang Qing and instead target us and Liangshan." Fang Mu said.
"It's just a mere Liangshan pirate. How can it be compared with us? This should be just a test of the court." Fang Tianding waved his hand and didn't take much attention to the group of Liangshan pirates.
"I have had contact with Liangshan. They have many masters, and Qin Ming, the director of the Qingzhou military and horse army, has also defected to Liangshan. Liangshan bandits are definitely no longer ordinary bandits after being trained by him." Fang Mu warned his father.
After hearing Fang Mu repeatedly attached importance to Liangshan, Fang Tianding hesitated, "Is Liangshan really as evil as you said?"
"Yes." Fang Mu said cautiously.
He did not want his father and grandfather to despise Liangshan. As the saying goes, arrogant soldiers will be defeated.
"Let me tell me in detail." Fang Tianding said.
Fang Mu told his father all the people worthy of attention and the threat from Liangshan.
After all, it was also the "destiny" that defeated one's own side in the book Water Margin. Although Fang Mu did not believe in fate, he still had to be careful, at least he could not fight against Liangshan with a arrogant heart.
"And I think fighting with Liangshan is not the best way now. So what if we win Liangshan? If the court asks us to continue to attack Wang Qing, then what should we do? Should we accept or refuse? After the attack on Liangshan, we are still qualified to refuse?" Fang Mu said slowly.
Fang Tianding's eyes condensed.
The fog in his mind suddenly broke open. He was not stupid either, and he was instantly understood by Fang Mu as soon as he mentioned it.
"No matter what the court had thought of us before, now that they have issued this order, they are already wary of us, and they suspect that this thing will take root and sprout in their hearts as long as it is born." Fang Mu said.
"We have no turning back." Fang Mu had no expression on his face.
"How to reply to the court?" Fang Tianding frowned. It was really difficult to deal with now.
"A three-pronged approach is to ask my grandfather to write to the court to make him sick, and my father reported to the court that the bandits in Jiangnan were serious. Secondly, he bribed the officials' relatives and confidants with a lot of money, and finally found a way to destroy the relationship between Tian Hu and the court. There may be a shadow of Tian Hu behind this matter." Fang Mu said after thinking.
Fang Tianding seemed to know her dog for the first time.
"How do you want to destroy the relationship between Tian Hu and the court?"
"Kill Tian Ying." Fang Mu said coldly, as if he was talking about an irrelevant little thing.
Fang Tianding stood up and wandered in the tent, and finally stopped and looked back at Fang Mu.
"What did Zhou Tong teach you on weekdays?"
"I only taught gun technique." Fang Mu knew that his father had misunderstood, so he explained. He just looked at Fang Tianding's expression and seemed to have doubts.
In fact, after starting to dream a few years ago, Fang Mu felt that his knowledge, some thoughts and mentality were subtly affected.
"It is indeed necessary to find a way to destroy the relationship between Tian Hu and the court. Tian Ying is their bond and kill her. It is indeed useful, but Tian Ying stays in the palace on weekdays, and the palace is very vigilant, which is not easy to kill." Fang Tianding sighed.
"Tian Ying believes in Buddhism. There is a Daxiangguo Temple outside Kaifeng Prefecture City. She goes to worship Buddha from time to time every month. Although she is not sure she goes there every month, it may be miraculous if she sends a magic archer to squat down." Fang Mu said.
After Tian Ying married Zhao Huan, Fang Mu consciously sent someone to inquire about the information. Although he didn't know if it would be useful for one day, he was still prepared for any trouble.
It seems that today is not a waste of money.
Fang Tianding turned around and looked at Fang Mu with subtle eyes.
"Father sees me what I do." Fang Mu was puzzled.
"If you hadn't hugged you with your own hands when you were born, I would have doubted whether you were really only fifteen years old." Fang Tianding said.
"You know the best of how old I am." Fang Mu said helplessly.
"Hahaha, please step back first. I will tell your grandfather about this matter." Although Fang Tianding did not say it clearly, he was also a little moved when he looked at his tone.
Watching Fang Mu leave the tent, Fang Tianding came to his senses and muttered the words Fang Mu had just said in his mind. Fang Mu's mind was so mature that he was not as mature as his peers, and he revealed a sense of ruthlessness.
But it’s better to be a little ruthless. Sooner or later, the family business will be handed over to him. How can you suppress others if you are not ruthless?
