Chapter 944 The Wind Rises in Dayan
The wind blows gently, and the surroundings are filled with the ripe atmosphere of the countryside.
In the two or three years when Gou Moli first entered Fan City, the south of Fan City was still in the quagmire of entanglement with the Chu army. Not only were small groups of sentinels and horses from both sides fighting against each other here, but also The rivers and lakes and local small forces supported by each are fighting over one small territory after another.
When Zheng Fan first entered the fourth level, he brought the demon kings with him to "level up", also taking advantage of the environment at that time;
Now,
It’s different.
Thirty-six military forts, twelve land strongholds, and six water strongholds are the military presence that is actually controlled by Fan City. On the basis of this organic system, there are often additional Advantages in local dependence win out.
If when Qu Peiluo and Fan Zhengwen were here, all they could do was build a few wooden fences here, then Gou Moli first laid out a fire break, and then in the inner circle The location is planted with flowers and plants, and some renovations are done from time to time. The outside is full of chaos, and the inside is not about singing and dancing, but it can still feel like "living and working in peace and contentment."
Of course, such a pure comparison is actually a bit unfair to Qu Peiluo. After all, Fan Zhengwen was in charge of Fan City at the time, and Qu Peiluo was wandering around the periphery, which meant a military and political separation. Gou Moli It is possible to catch it with one hand, and at the same time there is sufficient supply from Jin.
It’s just that placing a Savage King on the auxiliary side battlefield is an extremely arrogant act.
Especially for the Chu State, whose famous generals have withered in recent years, it is enough to make Zheng Fan's uncle drool with envy.
At this moment, Zheng Fan and Sword Master were sitting together and playing chess. The game they were playing was no longer backgammon, but a serious game of Go. However, the regent’s chess skills were far from bad. Basket, but it can only be regarded as very average;
Fortunately, the sword master's Go skills are just a sliver higher than the regent's, so there is no need to let go, the two of them can kill easily and enjoy themselves. .
Gou Moli stood nearby, holding tea and water in front of him.
On the outside, the Jinyi guards have already been deployed to take charge of the surrounding vigilance.
Zheng Lin and Da Niu sat next to Tiantian, one on the left and the other on the right.
"Brother, why did the people of Chu let Uncle Gou grow up here step by step?" Zheng Lin asked curiously.
The road from Jindong to Fancheng is not easy to walk. Fancheng’s soldiers and horses are actually not very many. It can be said that Gou Moli just made a pawn under the eyes of the Chu people and opened the door. situation.
Tiantian replied: "Before you were born, the Chu army once attacked Fan City, but was caught off guard when my father led his army from Zhennan Pass to attack.
It was in that battle that Brother Xianba obtained military merit by beheading Dugu Jiazhuguo of Chu State with his own hands
It’s not that the Chu people don’t know how Fan City feels like it’s stuck in their throats, but the Chu people have no choice. Unless they are sure enough to block the front line of Zhennanguan, otherwise with the response of our army from head to tail, the Chu people want to take down Fan City, which is almost impossible. Possible things. ”
The big girl sitting next to her used Long Yuan to paddle on the ground. At first, she didn’t feel anything, but gradually, Tiantian discovered that what the big girl drew was actually the east to Zhennanguan pass. Topographic map of the line from the west to Fancheng
“It’s just like when I played a game with a big python. I grabbed its tail and its head came over. I grabbed its head and its tail came over. come over. "The big girl turned to look at Brother Tiantian and said sheepishly: "When I ran away from home, I was afraid that I would get lost, so I wrote down some notes on the sand table in my father's custody room. ”
The advantage of a soul child is not only the physical “early maturity”, but also the mental advantage;
This is actually easy to understand, as it can get out of the “infancy” state earlier, and more Crawling earlier, standing up earlier, and exploring the surrounding environment will naturally lead to understanding of things much earlier than ordinary children.
At this time, a group of cavalry appeared in the distance, led by Liu Dahu and a general with a savage background.
Liu Dahu dismounted and came to the chessboard to report:
"Your Majesty, we have arrived."
Zheng Fan nodded and continued to make moves.
Soon, three men came here, two of them were dressed in traditional Shanyue costumes, and the other was wearing Chu clothes.
Gou Moli, who was pouring tea, put down the teapot, looked at them with a smile, and said kindly;
"Coming?"
The three of them looked at each other;
They knew each other. Gou Moli Yes, I also know Gou Moli's identity in Fan City and Jindong. Now, there are two people sitting and Gou Moli is standing to serve. So... what is the identity of the man wearing a white python robe sitting among them? , is ready to come out.
The three of them immediately knelt down:
"We are waiting to meet the Prince Regent."
The three of them are actually from the Shanyue tribe. One is named Meng Na, the other is Ba Gu, and the other is wearing Chu costumes, because his tribe was once killed by the Qu family. It was tamed, given the surname Xia, and is now called Shanglou.
This large complex and chaotic area south of Fan City was actually the core of the Qu family's fiefdom. After the Qu family was separated or even nearly uprooted, a hollow of power was formed.
The tribes of these three people are actually located relatively far away in the south, enough to extend to the southern end of the Qishan Mountains. If they continue south, they can reach the southeastern border of the Qian Kingdom;
It’s just that because General Nian led his army to attack that area, it now belongs to Chu.
The tribe of three people is not very powerful. In the face of sufficient regular troops, it can be said that it is not worth mentioning. However, this kind of local snake can sometimes play an extremely outstanding role, especially in military advances, with their internal and external cooperation. , can work wonders.
Zheng Fan waved his hand and threw the chess pieces casually on the chessboard. He ignored his own irreversible chess position and pretended to be doing business. He turned to look at the three people kneeling on the ground. .
However, the prince did not say anything, but casually picked up a bunch of grapes placed next to the chessboard and placed it in front of the three kneeling people.
"The prince will reward you." Gou Moli reminded him.
“Thank you, Lord.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The three of them took the grapes together and divided them. Each of them put a grape into his mouth, laughing and saying it was sweet while eating.
"Haha."
The prince smiled, stood up, and said nothing more to them.
He is here, and seeing them is actually worth a thousand words. There is no point in being polite to the virtuous corporal, and there is no need.
Gou Moli immediately walked over, motioned for the three of them to get up, and asked them to follow him to discuss.
Zheng Fan stretched out,
yawned,
walked to where Tiantian and the three of them were sitting, first picked up the big girl, and then touched her with his boots. Touching the son who was still sitting,
said;
"Pack up our things, it's time for us to go back."
"Father, I came here like this, how can I have anything to pack?" Zheng Lin asked.
"Take your heart."
"..." Zheng Lin.
"Dad, will brother Tian go back with us?" Da Niu asked curiously.
"Yes." Zheng Fan replied.
Tiantian immediately leaned over and said, "Here!"
In the army, you should perform a military salute.
Tiantian has been sent to Gou Moli for training by Zheng Fan for a while. However, when the real national war begins, Zheng Fan hopes that Tiantian can stay with him.
That’s not to say that the side battlefield is not important. After all, Zheng Fan relied on the side battlefield to achieve brilliant results. But now that he has this opportunity and his own status, why not let his son stay by his side? What about the operation of his army's center?
And for a child of Tiantian's age, even if he doesn't say it, what he longs for is definitely a head-on battlefield confrontation.
Zheng Fan has never liked to create a sense of "impartiality and selflessness" to the outside world, and he is too lazy to use his own son as an example.
The Jinyi guards began to close the team and the return journey began.
In the eyes of outsiders, the regent came here to accompany the child on a "tour of the mountains and rivers", but in fact, the child was just along the way. As the real host of the war, Fan Cheng did not If you go there and take a look in person, you will never be able to feel completely at ease.
Now,
He can rest assured.
The boat is traveling, and with my daughter by my side, the journey is not monotonous.
After leaving Mengshan and entering Wangjiang River, you can clearly see that more and more cargo ships are heading downstream from Jindi to Wangjiang River.
Fan City has its own system. Fan Zhengwen cannot fight, but he can do operations. After Gou Moli took over, he grasped everything from the mines to the blacksmith shop to farming. got up.
Zheng Fan also looked at the treasury, and it was very fulfilling;
But for this national war that is brewing, it is not enough, far from enough.
In those days, many battles were won, but they had to withdraw, or the troops were in danger every time, including the death of Li Fusheng in the current battle. The fundamental reason was still the national strength and logistics.
Now, after five years of self-cultivation.
He Zheng Fan,
can finally free up his hands to fight the battle of wealth!
Zheng Fan did not disembark in advance and return east to Fengxin City. Instead, he took the boat all the way to the Yupan City area and even landed on the east coast.
Gongsun Zhi, the son of Gongsun Zhi, and Gongsun Lin, the son of Gong Wang, each led a fine cavalry and were waiting on the west bank early.
It is normal for the troops and horses of Eastern Jin Dynasty to appear west of Wangjiang River. Since last year, the troops and horses of Jinzhong and Western Shanxi, and even some troops and horses of Yandi, have gradually appeared. Start switching defense.
“The general will pay homage to the prince!”
“The general will pay homage to the prince!”
Zheng Fan walked off the deck and nodded to the two generals kneeling in front of him.
Both of them have also served under his own commander, and they are already considered the second generation of generals in the Jindong lineage.
Look at Tiantian standing next to him, dressed in silver armor;
It is impossible for the regent not to feel that "the country has talented people for generations", but this kind of It feels really good.
The palace's carriage had been prepared a long time ago, and Zheng Fan got into the carriage.
Immediately,
the guards opened the way forward and backward, the royal guards held up the guard of honor, and the regent marched straight into Yingdu.
You know,
The Regent has not been to Wangjiang for several years.
Everyone in Yingdu has been informed a long time ago. The current prefect of Yingdu, Liu Dan, led all the civil and military personnel in Yingdu and knelt down to welcome Wang Jia together with Prince Situ Yu.
If when Zheng Fan was still King of Pingxi, the reason why Yan officials knelt down to greet him was because of the tacit understanding that Yan's military meritorious service was of the highest rank for hundreds of years, then now, the title of regent has given Zheng Fan the title of regent. Legally, he had the qualification to sit with the emperor.
Kneeling is what you should do, and you should kneel without any resentment or discomfort.
In addition to the local civil and military forces in Yingdu and the Prince's Palace, there is another team that is also kneeling in the welcoming sequence, holding a canopy and holding a golden umbrella;
Putting aside other imperial envoys , this canopy is just for representation, but in his case, it is actually a real sunshade and it is not enough.
No matter how big the canopy is, it cannot cover this mountain of flesh.
Tiantian rode his horse out and sent an order:
"The regent has an order, please ask the imperial envoy to get on the carriage."
"I obey the order."
Xu Wenzu stood up with help from the left and right. Get up.
The rest continued to kneel.
When Xu Wenzu got on the carriage and opened the curtain and came in, Zheng Fan was sitting on the throne inside, with the heads of two children peeking out from behind.
"Your Majesty, Xu Wenzu, bows to the Prince Regent. Your Majesty is a thousand years old!"
"Come on, don't kneel down. It's not easy for you to get up one step at a time." Zheng Fan said with a smile.
Xu Wenzu also laughed and did not force any manners.
In fact, he is an imperial envoy, so there is no need to kneel, but in front of this person, there is really no need to worry about the details of etiquette.
Xu Wenzu sat down, took out a small bottle from his arms, poured out some pills, put them into his mouth, swallowed them with the tea brought by Liu Dahu, and then breathed heavily for a while.
Old Xu has become fatter, and what’s more serious than being fat is that the aura on this guy’s body clearly gives people a very disordered feeling, which means that his three-high problem is very serious.
"Old Xu, take care of yourself."
"Hehe." Xu Wenzu smiled, "Look, aren't we here to refine oil?"
Xu Wenzu As soon as he patted his big belly, he immediately stirred up "thousand-layer waves".
Xu Wenzu did a good job as the governor of Yingdu. Three years ago, he was recalled to Yanjing to join the cabinet. Based on his qualifications, he jumped directly into the queue and became the second assistant.
The year before last, the chief minister Mao Mingcai and Ding You returned home, and Xu Wenzu was automatically promoted to the second chief minister since Dayan had its own cabinet.
Half a year later, the emperor issued an edict to seize Mao Mingcai's love on the grounds of national needs, ending Mao Mingcai's worries and allowing him to return to the court.
In the next six months, it can be said that there were two chief ministers in the cabinet, but the two did not compete for status. In fact, they had a tacit understanding with each other and with His Majesty. .
Today,
Xu Wenzu came to Yingdu from Yanjing as the chief minister of the cabinet, the imperial envoy, and the inspector of patrols in Jin;
He returned to the land he had worked hard to cultivate.
The current prefect of Yingdu, Liu Dan, is a close minister of the emperor. He has been under his command since he was still a prince.
When Xu Wenzu’s imperial envoy entered Yingdu a while ago, Liu Taishou took the initiative to give up the Taishou Mansion and signaled Xu Wenzu to move in.
Xu Wenzu didn’t refuse and moved in directly.
This is very incompatible with the so-called "humility", "harmony", "moderate" and other so-called word cards in the officialdom, but in fact, these word cards are basically the busybodies of folk teahouses, plus the local government officials who are responsible for watching the county. The deceitful operations of the orders, chief registrars, county lieutenants and other adults further extended the assumption that the real top leaders of a country must also Following the rules of this game;
Unfortunately, things are not like this. The emperor's eyes fall on you, and when the emperor gives you the imperial flag and sends you out, you must do something. You have to achieve results, you have to fulfill the will of the emperor and the court. One problem with standing too high is that there is no place to hide if you want to.
On the first day Xu Wenzu entered Yingdu, he moved into the prefect’s mansion where he had lived for several years.
This means that the entire Yingdu has completed the transfer of power, and the current prefect Liu Dan will automatically slide into the position of deputy. Next, Yingdu and even the entire Jinzhong, as well as radiating to the west of Shanxi, everything will be as long as Everything involving the east of Shanxi will be under the control and dispatch of Xu Wenzu.
"I'm out, I can finally breathe some air. My lord, I'm not afraid of your jokes. Living in Yanjing City is not only not as comfortable as Yingdu City, but it's even worse than Hutou City, hahaha."
< br>
"Hehehe."
Zheng Fan also laughed and said: "That's why there is a saying among the people that I would rather be the county magistrate than a second-grade official."
" Prince, how to fight, you don’t need to tell us, what do you want, what do you want? Well, if you write it on the note, we will send someone 800 miles away to deliver it to us immediately.
We will not give any excuses, nor will we complain of any hardships, nor will we say anything to you. I'm sorry for the hardships of people's lives.
Let me just say,
If one day the prince discovers that the food delivered to the military camp is not enough,
you go and find it,
the last car is hanging with our own fat body! "
"Brother, with your words, I can rest assured. "Zheng Fan changed his sitting position and tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest, "This battle is safe. ”
I have a strong army,
The logistics are sufficient with me,
The general is with me wholeheartedly,
The emperor and I stand together,
It is not impossible to lose, if it takes ten years, twenty years, three Ten years, even measured by the "violence" and "militancy" in the history books, of course it is possible to lose;
But at the moment,
Zheng Fan really couldn't think of a reason for him to lose.
Such a situation,
Many famous marshals throughout the ages could laugh out of their dreams, Tianhu starts the game,
If he can still play,
then Zheng Fan could only admit that he was a waste.
At this time,
Xu Wenzu spoke again:
“Your Majesty, it’s a pity that the old Marquis is no longer here. It would be great if the old Marquis were here at this time.”
Xu Wenzu is from the Beihou Mansion in Laozhen. He calls Li Liangting, and in private he calls him Lao Houye.
"You will be pleased, Lao Xu. Still remember... It has been ten years, it seems, it has not stopped. In the Imperial Garden, I watched the old Marquis roasting the leg of lamb.
He said that the big swallow was still too small, and it was really uninteresting to fight over it. "
"This is indeed what the old Marquis would say, haha. ”
“It’s coming. ”
Zheng Fan’s eyes became a little more serious,
Xu Wenzu, who was sitting below, immediately stopped smiling and stood up. Although it was difficult, he still knelt down:
"In the past, I, the Yan Dynasty, were lucky enough to win the late emperor, the old marquis, and the Marquis of the South;
Now, I, the Yan Dynasty, are lucky enough to win your majesty and the prince.
Since the great emperor eight hundred years ago The summer wind rises, the princes compete for supremacy, and the world competes for supremacy;
Zhu Xia, Zhu Xia,
I have been called it for too long, and the more I hear it, the more awkward it becomes. It’s time to change the name. < br>
May my descendants rise,
Whether the wind blows from the desert, or blows from the snowfield, or echoes in the valleys and swamps, or chases the blue waves of the East China Sea;
Wherever the wind touches,
All are black;
Wherever the sun and moon shine,
They are all Yan soil! "(End of this chapter)
