Chapter 161 The Old Man's Words

Wei Fufeng was struggling outside for more than a month and felt very tired. He was also worried about Tanzhou, southern Sichuan and Guiguan.

Gui Guan? The governor of Xiangzhou and Liuzhou were intent on fighting and had to send troops to solve the problem, and Daozhou and Yongzhou were also to be taken.

Wei Fufeng asked the soldiers to carry a quantitative sea salt in Fujian and returned, promising half of the sea salt they carried back belonged to the soldiers.

The soldiers were very happy. Sea salt was not precious on the coast, but it would be very expensive when you arrived in Tanzhou, and you would be a must-have for daily life.

The army set off and returned all the way. Wei Fufeng left behind three thousand southern Sichuan troops in Quanzhou and one thousand southern Sichuan troops in Zhangzhou.

I promise to stay for a year, and after a year, I can leave with a regular amount of sea salt and belong to me.

Wei Fufeng returned to Nanhai County, Guangzhou. Yang He arrived two days before him. The two of them talked together.

Wei Fufeng explained the matter about Fujian, and Yang He reported to the affairs of Gui Guan, the governor of Xiangzhou and Liuzhou, and it was likely that he colluded with Rong Guan and Yong Guan to borrow troops.

After saying that, Yang He left and set off. Wei Fufeng said that the matter in Fujian urgently needed to be presided over, so of course he understood that he had hurry to take office as soon as possible.

Yang He left, and Liu Yue'e, who was waiting, walked into the second hall. She met Wei Fufeng before, but she nodded with a smile on each other.

"Thank you for your hard work, Master." Liu Yue'e greeted her gently.

Wei Fufeng felt warm and stretched out his right hand to touch the beauty's jade cheeks, and smiled and said, "Is there anything wrong here?"

Liu Yue'e was a little shy and replied: "My father wanted to talk to the master. There were three days after the master left, the wife of the governor of Fengzhou came over, and I would like to give respect and courtesy."

"Oh, how did that lady behave? She is arrogant and still treats people intimately, to be honest." Wei Fufeng asked gently.

Liu Yue'e hesitated for a moment and said, "I am humble. The lady is an elder of Wei. She speaks casually, but I have heard that the wife of the governor of Fengzhou is strong."

Wei Fufeng sneered after hearing this. Liu Qian was using family affection. Before, Liu Qian refused to send troops and watched Sun Ru's remnants attack Guangzhou. The wolf's ambition was unquestionable and he could not target Liu Qian at the moment.

"Respect is respect, and you must not give in any matters involving military and political affairs. Tell me bluntly." Wei Fufeng instructed, and Liu Yue'e nodded lightly.

Wei Fufeng took a bath and went to see his father-in-law with Liu Yue'e, and met in his father-in-law's alone courtyard.

Liu Chonggui put on fragrant tea in the yard, looking leisurely, and waved his hand to sit after Wei Fufeng greeted him.

"Look at this." Liu Chonggui pointed at the official documents on the table.

Wei Fufeng took it and looked at it. It turned out that it was the emperor who asked about Liu Chonggui colluding with the Southern Sichuan Jiedushi. He calmly combined the official documents and said, "Has my father-in-law returned?"

Liu Chonggui nodded and said, "I replied that after I took office, the states were not subject to restraint. They were constrained by military generals in Guangzhou, so they could only control some civil affairs. It happened that the governor of southern Sichuan sent people to discuss trade between the north and the south, so they borrowed troops to enter Guangzhou and eliminated the military generals who controlled the governor's office. Now Guangzhou is basically under governance."

Wei Fufeng nodded, and Liu Chonggui said again: "A son-in-law must be mentally prepared. His Majesty the Emperor may change the governor of Lingnan."

Wei Fufeng nodded and smiled, "As expected, the emperor today is very good at using people, and cannot see through the essence of authority. He takes things for granted. Instead of suspicion of old ministers and substitutions, it is better to express trust with kindness."

Liu Chonggui smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth, took a cup of tea and whispered: "I wish I could leave my post, so I would like to ask for a pure and innocent reputation."

Wei Fufeng nodded and said, "If my father-in-law leaves office,

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Please leave a guide to Yue'e."

Liu Chonggui frowned and said, "You will let the woman separate from each other and take control of the power, which will not be a long-term solution."

Wei Fufeng smiled bitterly and said, "There is no way, etiquette and morality in troubled times have collapsed. I can only let my relatives become my eyes and stare at local civil and military officials, which will shock me."

Liu Chonggui stopped talking and said, "After all, you are a minister of the Tang Dynasty. Don't slacken in writing a letter and report tribute, and you must also give tribute. The emperor gets the benefits, and becomes dependent and then accommodates tolerance.

For example, in the case of Fujian, the emperor may recognize you as an observer in the case of tribute and tribute, so the justice of the court is still useful."

Wei Fufeng nodded when he was taught. In fact, he wanted to adopt a strategy of just living a life of life in Fujian.

The disadvantage is that without the recognition of the court, the local people are not easy to surrender. The surrendered Fuzhou generals also incite rebellion, and the eastern Zhejiang eyeing him and colluding with internal and external forces to attack him, an illegal "rebel".

Wei Fufeng humbly asked his father-in-law to write a document, but Liu Chonggui did not refuse to take the paper and pen to write, and then handed it over to Wei Fufeng.

Wei Fufeng took it and looked carefully. He saw that the article described Sun Ru's remaining troops in Tanzhou, and his troops were coming to Tanzhou. He passed by thousands of miles of land. He committed all kinds of evil deeds and rapes. Nine out of ten families in Tanzhou were harmed by disasters, and there were dead people everywhere.

Wei Fufeng was furious and had a military force of 20,000 in southern Sichuan. When he arrived in Tanzhou, Sun Ru's remnants had already gone south to cause trouble.

Wei Fufeng led his army to pursue him, and all the way to Hengzhou, Chenzhou and Shaozhou were seriously damaged, and finally caught up with Sun Ru's remnants in Guangzhou.

He fought with the remnants of Sun Ru's army together with the Lingnan Road military. In the fierce battle, Liu Jianfeng, the leader of Sun Ru's army, died, and the deputy leader Ma Yin fled to the east with thousands of remnants.

Wei Fufeng nodded, Liu Chonggui tasted tea, and whispered: "You should consider it yourself later, and complain about the misery, and say that the thief army is cruel and brave, and would rather die than surrender, which will cause you to lose more than 10,000 military strength. Lingnan Road also lost thousands of thousands, and only hundreds of them were reduced. He was burdened with heavy pensions and rewards for his merits, and recommended him to work in Fujian for his job."

Wei Fufeng nodded after being taught. He considered it, and with Liu Chonggui's suggestion, he continued to pursue the thief army eastward in anger.

The bandit army entered Fujian to support the disaster, causing disasters to be harmed by the already vast and sparsely populated Fujian.

As soon as Fujian Observation sent Chen Yan to death, Quanzhou Governor Wang Shenchao sent thousands of troops to attack Fuzhou, leaving only a thousand people left behind in Quanzhou City. He was broken by the thief army, and the governor Wang Shenchao was shocked and died.

Wei Fufeng walked through Quanzhou and chased Fuzhou, and saw thousands of Quanzhou troops attacking Fuzhou City.

The Quanzhou army mistakenly thought that the southern Sichuan army attacked Quanzhou and fled to eastern Zhejiang in panic.

The Southern Sichuan Army continued to pursue the bandit army, but the bandit army fled to the eastern Zhejiang province. The Southern Sichuan Army was blocked by the eastern Zhejiang Army and dared not pursue it again.

Next, he recommended the meritorious general Yang He as the governor of Fujian Observation and the governor of Fuzhou. Chu Yanhe as the governor of Quanzhou.

It is also said that after Tanzhou was harmed, the Qiandongliao people dispatched more than 10,000 soldiers to frequently attack Shaozhou and Tanzhou, which was beyond their reach.

The governors of the twelve prefectures under Guizhou were basically stolen by the barbarians, and they responded to the rebellion of the Guizhou-dongliao people.

Please observe Guiguan to the Yelang Protectorate Mansion, so that the suppression of barbarians will be famous and avoid the consequences of cracking the soil in the southwest barbarians.

Next is the content of the tribute tribute. Fujian Observation tributes 3,000 stones of grain every year, and the best of ten southern pearls.

Fujian has poor areas and few people, and Fujian people are the main ones, so they dare not impose excessive taxes. The food will be tributed by Yelang Mansion for the time being.

Guiguan Observation Entrusts Yelang

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Under the jurisdiction of the government, Yelang Mansion supplies more than 3,000 stones of grain and 300 jars of fine wine every year.

It is also said that the barbarians in Guizhou are out of control and have few exchanges. The population loss in Guizhou is severe, with less than 30,000 people, and most of them are still barbarians who are unsubmissive.

Yelang Prefecture attaches importance to Guizhou because its strategic significance is highlighted, and its garrison can deter and suppress the human race.

After drafting, he entered the official document after careful consideration, and wrote another official document, and used ten southern beads to request the queen to give him an imperial edict.

There are also two Nanzhu gifts for Princess Heng, and official documents are given to King Heng to the emperor, avoiding the prime minister's level.

The two documents were handed over to Liu Yue'e, and she asked her to take twelve Nanzhus and pack them properly, so that she could fly to the Heng Palace in Chang'an.

Liu Yue'e left happily with joy, and it won't take long to get the status of a wife of the imperial decree.

After completing the letter, the father-in-law and son-in-law were left, Wei Fufeng smiled and said, "My father-in-law, I am willing to come to the south and serve as the governor of Yongzhou."

Liu Chonggui pondered for a moment and said, "You are going to go to Guiguan, let your elder brother serve as the governor of Xiangzhou."

Wei Fufeng was stunned and said, "There are so dangerous in Xiangzhou, so it is not suitable for the eldest brother to take up his post."

"It's there. My old bone can't live long. Before I die, I go to Guizhou, intoxicated with the mountains and rivers, and then buried there in the future." Liu Chonggui said calmly.

Wei Fufeng was about to say something again, but Liu Chonggui waved his hand and said, "Don't let him serve as the governor of Guizhou. It's too eye-catching. Your father is better. In addition, I warn you that it is terrible to be a relative of the foreign country. It will make you unlucky in the future, especially after you have a son, you will fight openly and secretly, and even lead to internal strife and splitting."

Wei Fufeng was taught with a stern stern teaching, and Liu Chonggui said gently: "It is understandable that you are taboo to be in power in the family, but Wei is a great family member after all, with a rigorous clan concept and reliable than his relatives. It is okay to serve as a governor appropriately."

Wei Fufeng smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that the son-in-law is unwilling to appoint relatives, but the uncles and brothers he knows. Except for his father and fifth uncle, everyone else is incompetent, and he is not enough to do anything."

Liu Chonggui was stunned, and Wei Fufeng explained: "My second uncle, when he was besieged in Jinzhou City, was so scared that he didn't even dare to go up the city wall, but he usually wanted power.

My eighth uncle once served as a clerk in the county government office and asked him to serve as the governor of Fangzhou. As a result, he withdrew the military pay and divided the military with several surrendered generals in order to win over the morale of the army."

Liu Chonggui frowned and said, "Are you looking for death?"

Wei Fufeng shook his head and said, "My fourteenth uncle was born with great might and was highly valued by his grandfather. The court attacked the Hedong Army and found a lieutenant for him. At that time, I thought the court had very little chance of winning and dissuaded the fourteenth uncle from not being able to go. As a result, the fourteenth uncle was annoyed me for being troubled."

"Later, my grandfather served as the governor of Jinzhou. The court ordered Jinzhou to send troops to attack Xingyuan Mansion. My grandfather ordered the fourteenth uncle to lead three thousand troops. When he arrived in Yangzhou, Yangzhou had just been occupied by the Tongguan army and left two thousand troops. The Tongguan army dispatched 1,000 troops to fight the enemy."

Wei Fufeng paused for a moment and said with a wry smile: "As a result, the deputy general ordered the formation to respond to the enemy, but my fourteenth uncle shouted to retreat, and one man turned around and ran away on a horse. The three thousand troops were immediately at a loss. They were killed by a thousand Tongguan troops and were defeated and returned."

Liu Chonggui shook his head, and Wei Fufeng said again: "My fifth uncle has been selling salt goods abroad for many years. He is a smart and capable person. Now he is in charge of military affairs in Jinzhou. My father is not good at military affairs and has a gentle temperament. After serving as the magistrate of Xicheng County, he is diligent in his work and loves the people. He is a capable official in governing politics. My brother inherited his father's literary spirit. He is just a legitimate son, and he does not have the hardships of the military and civilians and cannot do great things."
