Chapter 7 Southern Sichuan Festival
More than ten days passed by, and Wei Fufeng, who was worried and suffering in the inn, couldn't stop. He no longer dared to 'escape' from Xingyuan Mansion. After making the bet, he could only resign himself to his fate.
The woman in green clothes has been accompanying him and seldom speaks as usual.
Wei Fufeng had to endure the crisis by himself. He could not and did not dare to tell the woman in blue.
On this day, the innkeeper suddenly came to Wei Fufeng and said in panic that a military master wanted to see him.
When Wei Fufeng saw that it was not an arrest, his panic calmed down a lot, and he followed the shopkeeper out with a calm expression.
After leaving the inn, I saw a soldier holding the handle of a sword with his left hand, but it was the leader who was guarding the gate of Jiedu Envoy's house.
The leader saw Wei Fufeng and said directly: "Let's go."
Following the soldier, Wei Fufeng followed silently and did not take the initiative to talk to the soldier.
The soldier may not know the Jiedushi's secret, but his proactive inquiry makes him appear guilty and impetuous.
After walking through Sandaofang Street, we arrived at a government office and followed the soldiers into the government office.
After Wei Fufeng saw it clearly, he immediately knew that this was a post house. The pavilions were like a first-class inn, and he had lived in a post house.
A man in green clothes came forward and said with a smile on his face: "Master Wei?"
"Well, let's lead him in." The soldier said. After speaking, he turned to face Wei Fufeng, raised his hand in salute, and walked away silently.
"Your Majesty, please come." The man in green smiled respectfully before walking away.
Wei Fufeng nodded calmly, followed the man in Tsing Yi, walked through the hall, through the courtyard, and walked into a single courtyard with a main house and side rooms on both sides.
Wei Fufeng stopped in the independent courtyard, secretly guessing why he came here. Why wasn't Yang Shouliang summoning him?
Suddenly, the door to the main room opened, and a mighty general wearing bright light armor walked out.
"You go ahead." The general said. The man in green bowed respectfully, turned around and left in a hurry.
The general looked at Wei Fufeng, then saluted and said, "Master Wei, please come in."
Wei Fufeng was surprised, but he nodded calmly and walked to the main room and entered. Inside the door was a living room.
There were many people in the hall. Sitting at the front seat was a fat white official with a gauze hat and scarlet robe, thin eyebrows and narrow eyes. Others were Mingguang soldiers, standing majestically in front of the guest seats on both sides.
Wei Fufeng suppressed his shock and doubts, forced himself to take four steps forward calmly, stopped and saluted, "I have met you, sir."
"Oh, Lord Wei Zheng?" the fat white official on the throne asked, his voice obviously high-pitched.
"I'm Wei Zheng." Wei Fufeng replied respectfully, neither humble nor overbearing.
"Okay, Wei Zheng accepts the order and kneels down." The fat white official said sharply.
Wei Fufeng's heart was shocked and he quickly knelt down on the ground, but said nothing.
I heard a sharp voice saying: "The emperor issued an edict saying that in view of the unrest in Xichuan, Nanzhao took a look at the border areas and divided them into Yuzhou, Changzhou, Luzhou and Rongzhou to establish a military envoy to the south of Sichuan and govern Luzhou.
Appoint Wei Zheng as the Military Envoy of Southern Sichuan, from the third-rank Yinqing Guanglu doctor, to the fourth-rank Zhongwu general Wanlong as the marching commander, and from the fifth-rank guerrilla general Liang Fang to the Chinese army's military envoy."
Wei Fufeng raised

His head was stunned when he saw the fat white official put away the bright yellow imperial edict, looked at him and smiled and said: "This is Yang Hui, the supervisor of the army. Mr. Wei, please invite me."
Wei Fufeng nodded and stood up. The development of the matter was beyond his imagination and there was a huge deviation.
Yang Shouliang accepted his deception, but the result was very bad. What he did seemed to be marrying someone else.
"Master Supervisor, Wei Zheng should be the Jiedushi envoy who will stay behind." Wei Fufeng responded. There was no turning back when he opened his bow, so he could only continue.
"Master Wei's words are inappropriate. The so-called Jiedushi envoys are undecided officials who have not been appointed by the imperial court." Yang Hui retorted with a smile.
Wei Fufeng was quiet, but suddenly a military general next to him said: "Master Wei is young. If you want to overwhelm the crowd, you can do it after you stay."
Wei Fufeng looked at it in a daze and heard Yang Hui say: "What Mr. Wan said makes sense."
Wei Fufeng said politely: "I have met Mr. Wan."
"Master Wei, you're welcome." General Wan Long raised his head and responded with a salute.
Wei Fufeng nodded, then turned to look at the general on the left. The general raised his arms in a military salute and said, "My subordinate Liang Fang pays homage to Mr. Liu Hou."
Wei Fufeng nodded, and suddenly Yang Hui raised his hand and waved. Immediately, the other four generals bowed together and said, "I pay my respects to you, Sir Liu Hou."
"Okay, okay, excuse me." Wei Fufeng raised his hand and said with a somewhat confused expression.
"Oh, Master Wei, these are all brave generals of the Shence Army, and they will serve as soldiers under your command in the future." Yang Hui said with a smile.
"Military envoy? We don't have any troops yet." Wei Fufeng asked politely.
"We will have it when we arrive in southern Sichuan. There are regiments training in Yuzhou and Luzhou. We can recruit strong men to build an army." Yang Hui replied.
"Tuanlian is a local warrior under the governor's command. I'm afraid I won't be able to collect them." Wei Fufeng said worriedly.
"Sir, there is no need to worry. With the imperial edict and Yang Shijun's intimidation, the governor of Yuzhou does not dare to support his troops and respect himself. As long as he captures the troops of Yuzhou, he can take over the other three states." Wanlong said confidently.
Wei Fufeng nodded, disapproving in his heart. Yuzhou may be easy to get, but Rongzhou (Yibin) is due to the civil war in Xichuan. All parties in the civil war may not have any military response to Rongzhou losing its border.
Luzhou and Changzhou, where Dongchuan Jiedushi belongs, are close to the Yangtze River (Yangtze River) waterway.
Rongzhou (Zigong) and Zizhou, which are adjacent to the two prefectures, are rich in well salt, and the salt produced needs to be transported out through the Luzhou waterway.
Once Luzhou changes hands, how can Dongchuan Jiedushi Gu Yanlang be able to let it go?
Not to mention the ownership of the imperial edict, the Tang Dynasty was still regarded as a heavenly family in the hearts of ordinary people, but in the eyes of the Jiedushi envoys of the separatist regime, it was just an exploitable righteousness.
If it violates the interests of Jiedushi, the imperial edict is a piece of waste paper.
"Master Wei, this is your official seal and official uniform, please keep it away." Yang Hui smiled and handed over a large package.
"Thank you, Mr. Jianjun." Wei Fufeng reached out and took it to express his thanks.
"Keep the imperial decree." Yang Hui said again.
Wei Fufeng nodded and asked, "I wonder when we will set off?"
"Mr. Yang has given us two hundred elite soldiers, and we will receive them tomorrow.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Set off the next day." Yang Hui replied.
Wei Fufeng nodded and said: "My lords, if nothing happens, I will go back and make some preparations."
"Haha, Master Wei should call himself our own army, and we will send you off." Yang Hui said with a smile.
Wei Fufeng saluted and said, "I will come to see the Lord Supervisor early tomorrow morning."
"Okay, Mr. Wei, please." Yang Hui said with a smile.
Wei Fufeng nodded, took the baggage and left.
Yang Hui sent him to the courtyard and ordered: "Zhao Hu, follow him and see where he goes."
A general responded and went out. Yang Hui and others went back to the hall to talk.
Wei Fufeng left the post house and immediately went to the Jiedu Ambassador's Mansion. After arriving, the leader of the soldiers guarding the door took Wei Fufeng directly in and continued to the study.
After the report, Jiedushi Yang Shouliang went out to greet him, stood at the door and saluted with a smile: "Wei Shijun is here, please come in."
Wei Fufeng hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Excellency is above Wei Zheng. Wei Zheng pays his respects to you."
"Haha, come in." Yang Shouliang said with a smile, turned around and walked away, Wei Fufeng followed closely.
This time, Yang Shouliang still sat behind the case, and Wei Fufeng also sat on a large carved chair. Two soldiers stood guard, but they were not the two before.
"Sir, I have met the Lord Supervisor of the Army and the Commander-in-Chief of the Marching Army. With such an arrangement, I cannot return to my family." Wei Fufeng said straightforwardly.
"If you can do this, you will gain a lot. You will be able to appoint deputy envoys, judges, officials, and escorts." Yang Shouliang said.
"My lord, my uncle wanted to kill Wang Jian. Now that all the real military positions have been taken over by Shence Army generals, sir, think about it, will they support my ancestor in killing Wang Jian? Wang Jian was from the Shence Army." Wei Fufeng stated the facts.
question.
Yang Shouliang was silent, and after a while, he said: "This is the decision of the central government, and our army is helpless."
Wei Fufeng said: "My uncle is willing to ask you, mainly to deal with Wang Jian. These Shence soldiers will take over the military power and will definitely not lead troops to kill Wang Jian. I think that what you can make the decision is to borrow troops. Please borrow two hundred elite soldiers."
A swordsman and axe-hand for the ancestor of the family."
Yang Shouliang remained silent, and Wei Fufeng added: "I heard from the Lord Supervisor that he has given two hundred elite soldiers. I think the two hundred elite soldiers can be used as borrowed troops to be taken to Xichuan to kill Wang Jian."
Yang Shouliang said: "You want to obtain the military power of two hundred elite soldiers."
"Yes, my uncle needs elite soldiers who will obey orders and wait for an opportunity to kill Wang Jian. If your Majesty is willing to borrow troops, please don't tell the borrowed troops what to do. You must not tell the generals of the Southern Sichuan Army about killing Wang Jian." Wei Fufeng said.
He already knew that the so-called southern Sichuan general he had met previously had no direct relationship with Yang Shouliang.
Yang Shouliang thought for a moment, nodded and said: "I authorize one hundred soldiers to obey your orders. After arriving in Yuzhou, they will follow you to Xichuan."
Wei Fufeng saluted and said, "Thank you, sir, for being so accommodating. I also ask you to allocate some crossbows to the elite soldiers for use."
"Military crossbows? Well, our army is not large, so we can only give out five." Yang Shouliang hesitated, then thought about it and agreed.
Wei Fufeng stood up and said politely: "Thank you, Sir."
