Chapter 581 The Four Generals (Part 1)

Chi Tonghao asked someone to prepare the horse and hurried to General Fan Ping's mansion. Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the gate, General Lu Chong's car had just stopped. Both of them were stunned, and suddenly they smiled slightly, knowing their intentions. They couldn't help laughing and walked in hand in hand. They were regular customers here, and the family members knew each other, so while sending people to inform General Fan, they had already led the two generals to the living room!

"Hahahaha! I was about to visit you, but I didn't expect you to come to my place first! Please sit down quickly! Come on, have some good tea!" Just as I sat down, General Fan Ping also walked in with great strides. They were all military generals, and even at home, they were simple and straightforward to speak and do things.

But this time Chi Tonghao and Lu Chong were very cautious, first asking General Fan Ping to send his servants out, and then they started to sit down. The two were very straightforward, without even polite words, and took out letters from their arms. When everyone saw it, they immediately understood, because the letters they took out were written on the same writing paper, and even the envelopes were exactly the same.

What was even more unexpected was that General Fan Ping also took out a letter, and just like theirs, the three of them couldn't help but laugh: "It seems that the two adults came to visit for this letter? To be honest, when I received this letter, I was really filled with emotion! Unexpectedly, Princess Qianrou still ignored her past grudges and called me "Uncle Fan"!"

"Yes, I didn't expect that she would blame us. At least we didn't stand up in that mutiny, otherwise she wouldn't have been defeated so badly!" General Lu said with a little ashamed.

"But there was a reason for the incident at the beginning. Who would have thought that our family would be besieged by Yao Cheng! We were immediately in a passive state!" Chi Tonghao said a little depressed.

"Well! Okay, it doesn't matter which one is right or wrong in this matter anymore. Princess Qianrou said the same thing in the letter. Moreover, there was a reason for the incident. The late emperor had no sound prince, and Yu Wanfeng had a genius son like Yu Shichang. This really influenced our behavior! But who would have thought that the fifth prince of the late emperor could return to normal, and even had a talent that surpassed Yu Shichang..." General Fan said helplessly.

"Yes, let alone other things, just this kind of letter paper is said to be created by the fifth prince, the current King Qiansui of the British, and there are various other novel objects, all from his fantasy ideas. Even in war, he can create extraordinary things! I'm afraid Lord Chi will have a personal experience of this!" General Lu nodded deeply and said.

"Oh! I'm so ashamed to say that, it's because this King Qiansui of the British let me go. It's not a lucky escape. I also saved my many men!" Chi Tonghao said with a little sigh. Since he was released by Zhu Xiaobao last time, he has been unwilling to face Bei Zi Rui Kingdom again, and he is even more unwilling to go to war with Bei Zi Rui Kingdom.

"Haha! Two generals, I don't think this is a bad thing. Come on, we don't have to be nervous. Let's have to drink two glasses of wine first and chat while eating!" General Fan said with a smile at this time, and immediately ordered his servants to prepare for the night banquet.

After entering the show, the servants were sent away, and only three generals were left in the living room. But what surprised General Chi and General Lu was that what Fan Ping took out was a top-quality burning knife and the best tobacco. What was even more incredible was that the tea served this time was actually green tea with easy brewing and refreshing fragrance.

"Haha! Don't look at me, I can't buy these things, nor can I afford them! This is sent by Your Majesty! And it was delivered by a quarter of an hour before I received this letter! Do you think, isn't it very interesting?" General Fan Ping said with a deep smile.

"Your Majesty? How could he have these things? It is difficult for Nan Zirui Kingdom to buy these things now. Even if His Majesty has a noble status and can buy these things, there is no need to be so arrogant. Now the treasury has no money at all, and even the expenses of the palace have been reduced by half!" General Lu Chong shouted in surprise.

"Well, I heard from the father-in-law who sent the reward that these things were given to Your Majesty by a Xijue businessman. Moreover, although the shopkeeper of this businessman is a local merchant, the envoy behind the scenes is Hacitu! Zhu Xiaobao came to Nan Zirui Kingdom a while ago, and now Hacitu jumped out, and he gave gifts directly to Your Majesty. Is this a coincidence? I know that Hacitu is extremely smart, but he followed Zhu Xiaobao with a determined will! Because of his decision, it is now developing at its peak, and there are already many subordinate tribes under his tribe! And Hacitu can directly appoint the tribe's patriarch!" Fan Ping said in detail what he knew!

"Brother Fan! You mean Your Majesty..." Lu Chong was the simplest and straightforward among the three, so he asked hesitantly, but he didn't dare to say it thoroughly.

"Hahahaha! Have you noticed that your Majesty often asked us to leave alone recently, but there was no substantive content. He just sighed that harmony is the most important thing. He also assigned Yao Cheng to the farthest place! Recently, there is a legend that Zhu Xiaobao defeated Yu Shichang in the inheritance of the White Tiger clan. Yu Shichang openly slapped His Majesty in the face on the main hall. Does Your Majesty have no idea?" General Fan Ping smiled, then lowered his voice and said.

"Yes, yes! I also felt that His Majesty has changed his past depression these days, but he is a little refreshed.

It feels refreshing. And although the military pay has not been resolved in the past two days, I have sent a lot of meat and vegetables. At least now my subordinates have begun to calm down. The strangest thing is that Your Majesty also told me that those fortifications do not need to be rushed too quickly. This is completely different from the previous period!" Chi Tonghao also nodded repeatedly and said.

"Well! The letter also said, please persuade Your Majesty, and both sides will stop the army and reconcile. What do you think we should do?" Lu Chong also understood a little, but still didn't know what to do.

"Haha! It doesn't matter how we do it. We must know the attitude of your Majesty. I stayed alone these few times. I think it's Your Majesty who is testing us. Alas, many things are like this. It depends on who dares to break it..." Fan Ping is a military general who is both civil and military, so he has always been the backbone of the three people. So after receiving Yu Qianrou's letter, he was not very panicked, but was considering it carefully. When His Majesty sent the reward, he already understood a little.

"What should I do if that guy Yao Cheng? He is a general, his position is one level higher than ours, and this guy hates the most. The last time he besieged my house was the men he sent, which made me very passive. Otherwise, I might not have stayed here!" General Lu Chong said angrily.

It turned out that the three of them were born and died with the former emperor Yu Wanqiang. They were known as the Eight Generals at that time, but in the end there were only four left. Except for General Fu, who followed Yu Qianrou to the North Zirui Kingdom to death, the remaining three of them remained in the South Zirui Kingdom.

But what made the three of them depressed was that Yao Cheng was ten years younger than them. However, because he followed Yu Wanfeng, after driving Yu Qianrou away, Yao Cheng was promoted to three levels in a row and was named General of the General of the General of the Palace Flag, General of the Vessel and General of the Guard, and his positions were actually one level lower than Yao Cheng. Therefore, Lu Chong was always angry.

But Fan Ping and Chi Tonghao were very calm. Yao Cheng was valued by Yu Wanfeng because of his outstanding performance in chasing Yu Qianrou. It would be fine if they didn't want such credit! But they also dislike Yao Cheng very much because Yao Cheng wanted to command all the troops. But although his position was one level higher, Fan Ping, Chi Tonghao and Lu Chong did not buy his account. Everyone performed their duties and took care of each. Yao Cheng wanted to intervene several times, but the three of them jointly pushed him back. So Lu Chong was most disgusted with this guy.

"Hehe! Lao Lu, there is no hurry to do this. We are just waiting to see what Your Majesty meant. If we really make peace with Bei Zirui Kingdom, then we are not polite. Yao Cheng was rebelling back then, so we can quell the rebellion now!" General Fan Ping said with a sneer.

"Okay! I will be the first to kill him by then! This guy has been too arrogant in recent years. Not only do he hold heavy troops, but he also hides a beautiful woman in every barracks. He also calls him the training of female soldiers! He has also been greedy for a lot of military pay in recent years. Although he has the largest number of people under his command, he has the most resentment! I can't stand this guy!" Lu Chong drank a bowl of wine in a big mouthful and then said loudly.

"Speak quietly, this matter needs to be kept confidential now. I think I will see you in a few days!" Fan Ping quickly suppressed Lu Chong and said.

Then the three veterans began to drink happily, and their mood had completely changed when they came!

...

The next day in the court, General Yao Cheng was venting his dissatisfaction in the hall: "Sir Qian, where is the cotton coat and quilt I want? The weather is getting colder now, and if I don't send it, how can my soldiers do it? What's more, there are still defenses that need to be built now?"

"Report to General, the treasury is tight now, so it is not easy to be full. This is because His Majesty has compressed the daily expenses of the palace to ensure the supply of the army's food! The rest can only be overcome first. If it really doesn't work, wear the cotton coat from last year for another year!" Lord Qian said slowly.

Lord Qian is a civil servant and is not afraid of this general. He has long heard that this guy is full of golden houses. So giving him supplies is equivalent to asking him to squander.

It turns out that this general also has a special hobby. He likes to play with the female soldiers in combat uniforms. In the current words, it is just a temptation of uniforms! In his general's mansion, not only are all female soldiers in guards, but also in the inner houses. General Yao likes to use them at will. Sometimes when he sees the female soldiers on patrol, he will suddenly pull aside and start a big fight without restraint. This is no secret. All the civil and military ministers in the court know it, so most people don't like this general with a unique taste, but because he was recommended by Yu Wanfeng, he dare not say anything.

"Then why did Lu Chong's subordinates have already received cotton coats and quilts for the winter? Are you not so much for the other?" Yao Cheng asked in annoyance.

"Haha, I want a general, I know very well about this. General Lu loves soldiers like his sons, sells his property, and buys winter clothes and quilts for the army by himself. He is really a role model for us to learn!" Lord Qian said in a divine manner, but his eyes looked at General Lu were full of respect.

"...Hmph! General Lu really has a rich family!" Yao Cheng was speechless and could only say sourly, and was also very jealous of General Lu. Although Lu Chong was very straightforward, he took a very smart wife and opened several silk shops. The first few were the first.

The business is still very good every year, but the situation has been getting worse in the past two years. So among the few generals, Lu Chong is the richest one.

"Okay, don't say anything. Now the treasury is tight. I hope that all lords can work together to overcome it. It will be fine until the spring begins! There is nothing to do today, let's go to the court!" Yu Shian still said something as painful, it's not too much, no nutrition, as before.

However, after the dynasty, Yu Shian kept all the four generals and invited them to dinner together. However, Yao Cheng refused directly. His relationship with the other three generals was very dissatisfied, so instead of having dinner together, it would be better to go back and find a female soldier to have fun!

"Haha! It's good! General Yao, why not do this? Split your troops and send them to General Lu. His fortifications will be tight and there will be not enough staff!" Yu Shi'an seemed to be very intimate and walked out of the hall alone with Yao Cheng, and was still giving him advice while walking.

"How can that work? I'm very nervous too!" Yao Cheng's most taboo thing was to use his troops and immediately said against it.

"Haha! I'm also thinking about you. I'm sending it here and I'm just about to distribute cotton coats and quilts. Since your troops have arrived, can General Lu not distribute these soldiers? In a few months, will he return to your command?" Yu Shi'an said in a low voice.

"Well, so that's it. Thank you, Your Majesty,... I'll go back and arrange it!" Yao Cheng's eyes lit up immediately. Yes, this is indeed a good idea. Although General Lu was not in dealing with him, he was very caring for those soldiers. Sending some of the soldiers to relieve the pressure on his food and salary.

This time, Your Majesty finally came up with a good idea. Yao Cheng has always looked down on this Majesty. He was originally a hard-core follower of Yu Wanfeng, but he didn't expect that Yu Wanfeng had been the emperor for two years and gave the throne to Yu Shi'an, and he was busy practicing. Because after becoming the emperor, he realized that all kinds of worries were not so comfortable. There were too many trivial matters, and Yu Wanfeng regretted it at that time. If he had known this, he wouldn't have to drive Yu Qianrou away!

Then Yu Shi'an rewarded Yao Cheng with two hundred jars of water and wine, and one hundred cattle and sheep, which finally made Yao Cheng leave with satisfaction.

When he turned around, Yu Shi'an's face became gloomy. He had long remembered Yao Cheng's disrespectful attitude towards him. However, when he saw the three generals win over, Yu Shi'an still showed a kind smile: "Three generals, can you drink and chat with me? The official has just entered some good wine here!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The three generals bowed in unison and said, their hearts moving. It seemed that they had consciously sent Yao Cheng away just now, and they should be about to get to the point.

"Haha! The three generals don't have to be polite! Wine is good wine, I'm just afraid that some people will not be able to come! Fortunately, there are three old generals here, so I don't have to worry about wasting these good wine parties!" Yu Shi'an smiled with a word in his words, and then he took the lead and walked towards the imperial kitchen. The three generals looked at each other, and then followed quickly...

Sure enough, what was served was the best roasted knife I drank last night, and even the tea was green tea. Surprisingly, Yu Shi'an also gave each of them a gift box, which contained eight pieces of top-quality silky milk soap, and two small jars of five years old.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! But these things are too expensive, this is..." Fan Ping and others immediately stood up to thank you, and then looked at Yu Shi'an in confusion. In fact, they were waiting for Yu Shi'an to make the words clear!

"Haha! No need to thank me, I don't have these things, they are all delivered by a shop, and the owner of the upper bunk is Hacitu!" Yu Shian waved his hand and smiled.

"Hacitu? Could it be Hacitu, the rich man stationed in Lingyue Mountain? Isn't that close to Zhu Xiaobao?" Fan Ping asked in surprise.

"Yes! I guess all three of you have received a letter from Yu Qianrou?" Yu Shian finally couldn't help but point out the mystery.

"Well, I don't know what Your Majesty means. We only follow His Majesty's leader!" Fan Ping and others stood up quickly and said nervously. This is the most important thing. If Yu Shian doesn't have that meaning, they can also return the words immediately. Didn't they say that, only Your Majesty's leader is follow His Majesty's leader! This is already leaving room for maneuver for themselves.

"Haha! Don't be nervous, I also received a letter from Yu Qianrou. To be honest, I don't want to start a war either! And once the war starts, we will definitely lose... Do you think I, the emperor, are so comfortable?" Yu Shian smiled a little self-deprecatingly, then drank a small glass of wine, and then casually signaled the three of them to sit down.

"Then... I dare to ask Your Majesty, you, the Emperor, don't want to...?" Fan Ping asked cautiously with courage.

"Take it and take a look! This is what Yu Qianrou wrote to me..." Yu Shian was very straightforward and took out the letter and handed it to Fan Ping.
