When Fang Chuning returned home, the marshal's three lieutenants filed out with hurried expressions. After seeing Fang Chuning, they saluted and Fang Chuning returned the salute. Vice General Chen whispered that there was something unusual in Sang Nan and that the marshal was rushing to Jiangnan. He hoped that Fang Chuning would not leave.
After getting angry with Marshal Fang again, Fang Chuning politely sent several lieutenants away.
What Fang Chuning didn't expect was that Lin Heli was having a discussion with Marshal Fang in the study. As dusk approached, the sky was filled with red clouds. Lin Heli was dressed in green with wide sleeves, and his whole body was enveloped in the warm orange light. His shadows slanted horizontally, contrasting with the red walls and green walls of Marshal's mansion.
The tiles reflect each other, and the gentleman is like an orchid, competing with the wind and chasing the dew.
Lin Heli and Xie Zhang were the same age, and the Lin family produced queens and talented people. Lin Yushu and Lin Heli of this generation were the greatest honor of the Lin family. After Sanyuan was the third, I thought Lin Heli would enter the Imperial Academy. Who knew that Elder Lin Ge wrote a letter saying that Lin Heli was young and Shang
Lacking experience, he resigned from his official position and spent his free time at home, living in seclusion.
He was naughty when he was young, and he and Xie Xun were both demon kings in the capital. Lin Heli and Xie Zhang both followed the rules and had a steady and mature temperament, so they naturally disliked naughty teenagers like them.
Fortunately for Xie Zhang, firstly, Fang Chuning and Xie Jue were on good terms, and secondly, Xie Xun was his biological brother.
Lin Heli disliked these children who liked Fang Jiewa very much. Although he never said a harsh word, and he never talked about people's rights and wrongs behind their backs, their pleasant aura was mutual. Like or dislike, it was all mutual.
The only conflict between Fang Chuning and Lin Heli was when he and Xie Jue came back from the battlefield that year, which happened to be when Lin Heli passed the third grade and was at the height of his popularity. The students in Beijing Middle School admired Lin Heli at their peak and often asked him to discuss studies. Fang Chuning and Xie Jue
Jue happened to listen to the lecture, which was about border defense and people's livelihood.
That year, the Twelve Prefectures began to decline and their population was lost. Ningzhou recruited troops nearby, causing all the young and middle-aged men in the Twelve Prefectures to go to the battlefield. The lack of labor force caused the Twelve Prefectures to face many difficulties. Lin Heli criticized that the cavalry should not recruit troops nearby and should recruit troops from all over the country.
Conscription should be carried out across borders, the military household system should be reasonably reformed, and the cavalry should be rotated to protect people's livelihood.
Seventeen-year-old Lin Heli was born and raised in Kyoto. He was a child prodigy since he was a child, and was known as the reincarnation of Wenquxing. He passed the third Yuan Dynasty, and he succeeded as a young man. He was also the eldest son of the Lin family, and he had no shortage of supporters. He was praised by a group of students in academic discussions.
He will be promoted as a future pavilion elder, and he will be able to stabilize the country.
Young men Fang Chuning and Xie Jue stood on the second floor and listened to this discussion. Fang Chuning laughed wildly and said, "Great talent, the whole country is recruiting troops. It's easy to say. How many of the clan's children are in the army? It's very clear.
But just talking on paper, do you know where the twelve states are? With a leaf blinding you, you can sit in a well and look at the sky."
Young people have a flamboyant nature, let alone a young man like Fang Chuning who grew up under the stick of a handsome man. He is rebellious and perverse. He openly mocked Lin Heli. Xie Jue did not stop him. The scene was very ugly for a time.
Later, Fang Chuning didn't see Lin Heli much.
He and Xie Jue went to the battlefield again, and later heard that Lin Heli traveled around the world and rarely returned to Beijing.
A few years later, all the young men at the time have grown up and are on their own.
Fang Chuning greeted Lin Heli, and after Lin Heli returned the courtesy, he walked past him and left. The conflict a few years ago seemed to have disappeared in time.
"Tunan, come in!" Marshal Fang's voice came from the study.
Fang Chuning frowned and entered the study.
The window of the study room was opened. Fang Dashuai was looking at the map of Yanyang behind the desk and circled the twelve states. Fang Chuning's eyebrows jumped heavily. Why did Lin Heli come to see his father?
He is the head of the clan. Recently, Emperor Hui of the Yuan Dynasty also intended to let Lin Heli into the cabinet. My father rarely interacted with civil servants in the DPRK.
"Tingfeng and Zhixu have been suppressing bandits in twelve states and have eliminated three bandit infestations. They have passed through Jiaozhou and are now approaching Jinzhou." Marshal Fang suffered a throat injury and his voice was a little rough. He was a few years younger than the Marquis of Zhenbei.
His facial features are deep and his outline is cold and hard. At a glance, you can tell that he is the kind of general who speaks his truth.
"I heard it!" Fang Chuning stood like a wooden post, not even looking at the handsome man.
"Are you going to drink again?" The Marshal smelled the odor of alcohol and was extremely unhappy.
"Drinking to offend you?"
The Marshal slapped his palm heavily on the table. Fang Chuning didn't even move his eyelids. He was obviously used to it. Marshal Fang frowned coldly and said, "Zhongzhou is asking for help. I hope the imperial court can send a few generals to garrison. The twelve states cannot fall to Zhizhi."
In Xu’s hand.”
"I wish my father a great success!"
"Fang Tunan, my father wants you to go to Zhongzhou and command the troops in Zhongzhou." Marshal Fang said in a deep voice, "Since you don't want to send troops to Ningzhou, go to Zhongzhou to garrison."
Fang Chuning was silent and did not respond!
"Anyuanhou has been talking to all the generals recently, and they all want you to go to Jiangnan. I know that Tingfeng means it, but I don't want to do what he wants." Anyuanhou is from Zhenbeihou, so this is a big deal.
Shuai knows in his heart.
Zhenbeihou and Fang Dashuai grew up together, and they were brothers who grew up wearing a pair of pants on the battlefield. When Zhenbeihou was alive, there were almost no secrets between him and Fang Dashuai. Fang Dashuai would tell Zhenbei about the true war situation in Jiangnan.
Hou, but it may not be presented to the emperor.
The two trust each other and both protect the Yuwen royal family.
Now the balance is broken!
The secrets of those days are now sharp knives.
However, Marshal Fang didn't want to wield his sword against his old friend. He just wanted to maintain peace in Yanyang and recuperate.
"Just for garrison?" Fang Chuning narrowed his eyes, "General Chen Ming has been stationed in Zhongzhou for many years, why did he transfer me to garrison?"
"General Chen is old and has relapsed from old injuries. Zhongzhou and Twelve Prefectures are only separated by Beihe. General Chen is no longer qualified to handle heavy military affairs. It is necessary for the DPRK to send several young generals to assist." Marshal Fang said in a deep voice, "DPRK
I have been counting among the military generals, and you are the most suitable. Firstly, you know Tingfeng best, and secondly, you are the only one who can compete with Zhixu."
Fang Chuning asked, "Tingfeng is sitting behind Ningzhou. I know that suppressing bandits in the twelve states is like boiling frogs in warm water. As long as commerce and farming are restored, the twelve states will be in his pocket. Father Commander, the garrison in Zhongzhou is under his control."
Should he send troops to help before he conquers the twelve states, or should he wait for him to conquer the twelve states before starting a war? You have to give me a word of truth."
"I hope that time can dilute the hatred between Tingfeng and Zhixu, and Yanyang cannot have a civil war, and the people will not live in peace."
"Then you should ask Yu Wenjing why he provoked the war. If he hadn't designed to frame the Hou Mansion, why would he have done this?" Fang Chuning asked coldly.
"How outrageous!" Marshal Fang was furious, "Don't call the Emperor by his given name."
"What kind of bullshit emperor is he!" Fang Chuning said unruly, "Don't even think that I would sacrifice my life for him!"
"Are you working hard for him?" Marshal Fang looked at his son with disappointment, "In the civil war in Yanyang, it was your colleagues and innocent people who died. Those who fought against each other that night in Kyoto were all your heroes.
"
"Okay!" Fang Chuning spread his hands, "If he abdicates in favor of someone more powerful, I will immediately send troops to Ningzhou."
"Fang Tunan!"
The father and son faced each other coldly, and Marshal Fang was furious, "You should have known that there would be such consequences when you let Tingfeng and Zhixu go that night!"
"I'm so lucky to have arrived in Kyoto an hour earlier than you."
Marshal Fang has not had a good conversation with Fang Chuning for many years. He is unfamiliar with what his son is thinking and doing. He also wants to have a good talk with Fang Chuning.
But in front of him, Fang Chuning was a beast that wanted to poke holes in him.
The two of them couldn't say more than a few words before they started to quarrel.
"Shuai Fu promises you that as long as Tingfeng and Zhixu don't take the initiative to send troops, Zhongzhou will hold its troops." Marshal Fang's voice softened, "You should think carefully about whether to go to Zhongzhou or stay in Kyoto and become a wealthy idler."
Fang Chuning sneered, "Aren't you worried that my father will cheat on you and treason?"
"If you collaborate with the enemy and treason, I, your mother, your sister, and your aunt's family will accompany you to hell. You will not be alone."
As the sun sets towards the west, the sun sinks behind the city wall, making the study dark and silent.
a long time.
Fang Chuning said, "I'm going to defend Zhongzhou."
Jinzhou.
Xie Xun was in full swing to suppress the bandits, but Feng Yu didn't want to waste time. Fei Ying was appointed as the grain escort officer again.
Come to Jinzhou.
The magistrate of Jinzhou’s surname is Xue, and his single name is Yu. He is thirty-two years old and has been in Jinzhou for six years. From the county magistrate to the magistrate, he knows Jinzhou well. Feng Yu originally wanted to thank Xun to suppress the bandits, but Fei Ying and Nuanyang led troops to Jinzhou.
, will Zhizhou embarrass them? Jinzhou is the most prosperous and largest capital of the Twelve States, and it is also the business center of the Twelve States.
Xie Xun became famous since he suppressed bandits in Yunzhou. Xue Yu had long heard of his deeds. When the army arrived at the city gate, Xue Yu did not go out of the city to greet him, but he was not in trouble. The 20,000 garrison in Jinzhou City could not stop him.
Ningzhou cavalry, so Xie Xun's 50,000-strong army had an unimpeded journey.
Nuanyang led 5,000 people into the city, and 20,000 people followed Feiying to guard outside the city to prevent changes. The people of Jinzhou were extremely curious about the 5,000 cavalry entering the city. They watched on both sides of the street and talked a lot.
Feng Yu didn't squint her eyes, and Xue Zhizhou turned a blind eye to them. Feng Yu was also happy and relaxed, and went straight to the main office of Suzhou Commercial Bank. Shopkeeper Wang and his brothers had been waiting for them for a long time.
Feng Yu asked, "Did it go well in Jinzhou?"
Shopkeeper Wang shook his head gently, and Feng Yu chuckled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Have you collected the food and grass?"
"It's all ready." The shopkeeper here embarrassed him, but he didn't dare to embarrass the cavalry. This was the food and grass requested by the second young master, and they were very cooperative. Moreover, the Su family also transported a lot of food and grass from the south of the Yangtze River, all of which were supplied to the cavalry.
After the news of Xie Jue and Xie Xun's rebellion spread to the south of the Yangtze River, Feng Shu's most trusted shopkeeper immediately transported all the grain and grass to Jinzhou. When the state capitals reacted, the grain and grass had already been piled in the granary of Jinzhou Trading Company.
Feng Yu secretly thought that the second young master knew the operation mode of grain and grass, and had already guessed that Jiangnan would put the prepared grain and grass into the Jinzhou granary.
"Okay, count out six million taels of silver and transport them out of the city."
"yes!"
"Are all the shopkeepers from the twelve states here?" On the way here, Feng Yu first sent a message to shopkeeper Wang, asking him to summon the shopkeepers from the twelve states to Jinzhou to discuss matters.
Shopkeeper Wang said, "Except for Xizhou, almost everyone has arrived."
"Girl, be careful. A strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake."
Feng Yu took a sip of herbal tea and said calmly, "I just want to visit this snake's nest for a while. If they don't come to Jinzhou, I will go to Xizhou."
