Chapter 11: Seeking Skin with a Tiger(1/2)

The three of them gathered in the house to discuss the surprise attack on Luzhou.

After hearing the strategy, Lao Feng asked: "General Wang, do you think this is sloppy?"

"As long as there is a possibility of success, you should go for it. With the new governor, the people of Luzhou are in a state of turmoil. If you kill the governor, the rest will wait and see." Wang Meng said.

"I'm worried that General Wang is gone and he won't be able to see the governor. As a governor who guards one side, he won't meet strangers easily." Old Feng said.

"Someone may have pretended to be a messenger." Wang Meng said.

"Even the messenger, the governor will not approach easily." Old Feng said.

"80% chance of meeting, the new Luzhou governor is a sycophant. As long as someone pretends to be Gu Yanlang's personal guard, he will definitely meet with someone." Wang Meng said.

"Luzhou is a relatively prosperous and important place in Dongchuan. Gu Yanlang is willing to use mediocre people to guard it?" Old Feng said.

"Gu Yanlang has his own ideas when hiring people." Wang Meng replied.

Old Feng nodded and said: "The surprise attack is a gamble on life. I don't want General Wang to be in danger."

"Thank you Judge Feng for your kindness." Wang Meng responded.

Wei Fufeng smiled and said: "General Wang, if you attack Luzhou, how will you get there?"

"You can go directly to Yuzhou by following the Jialing River, and you can reach Luzhou by going upstream from the big river in Yuzhou. I think it is not suitable to take the Yuzhou waterway. The boat trip upstream may not be smooth. You can land in Hezhou on the way, and then head to the southwest inland

We enter Dazu County in Changzhou, where there is a waterway that enters the Tuojiang River and leads directly to Luzhou." Wang Meng replied.

Wei Fufeng nodded and said: "Okay, we will land in Hezhou and let the supervisor go to Yuzhou."

After deciding on the itinerary, Wei Fufeng asked Wang Meng to leave to rest, leaving Lao Feng to talk.

Looking at Lao Feng, Wei Fufeng asked: "What do you think is the possibility of winning Luzhou?"

"There should be a three-point possibility. I know Wang Meng's background. He was once a subordinate of Yang Shili, the governor of Dongchuan Jiedu. Yang Shili was defeated and defected to Shannan West Road Jiedu with Shangguan. Although he was a famous warrior in the Shannan West Road army

, but he was not reused by Yang Shouliang, the military commander, and he has always been a captain of the team." Old Feng said, deliberately trying to understand him.

"He was once a subordinate of Yang Shili in Dongchuan. It seems that he is very familiar with Dongchuan." Wei Fufeng said.

"Even if he is familiar with it, his strategy is not advisable. Unless he has internal contacts in Luzhou, it will be like a moth flying into a flame." Lao Feng retorted.

"Internal response?" Wei Fufeng thought thoughtfully, and then said: "Maybe there is an internal response."

"My lord, if he has an inside job, there are huge hidden dangers in seizing Luzhou." Old Feng said softly.

Wei Fufeng nodded and said: "I know that he is seeking skin from a tiger. He wants to use my righteousness to establish a foothold in Luzhou, and he also wants to get Yang Shouliang to send troops to contain the Dongchuan army."

Old Feng said: "If he can capture Luzhou, I'm afraid he will imprison the young master as a result."

Wei Fufeng nodded and asked, "Has the wine been delivered?"

"There are three main ships, and each of them was put into the jar under the name of the county government." Lao Feng replied.

Wei Fufeng nodded, thought for a while, and said: "When you go to learn about Dongchuan, you should mainly ask the relatives and wives of the governor of Dongchuan, as well as the governors of Luzhou and Changzhou."

"Yes, sir, do you have any other orders?" Old Feng said.

"Not yet, thank you for thanking you." Wei Fufeng responded, and Lao Feng stood up and left.

Wei Fufeng also left and went to the inn where Bi Yi Nu was staying. After knocking on the door, Bi Yi Nu opened the door and let Wei Fufeng in.

Wei Fufeng returns

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

He closed the door, turned around and looked at the woman in green with a smile.

"Sister." After watching, Wei Fufeng called kindly.

The woman in green clothes had a delicate face and a calm face, and whispered: "Purple robe and jade belt, you are already a high-ranking official of the Tang Dynasty."

Wei Fufeng shook his head lightly and said: "The imperial court is declining, and most of the so-called high-ranking officials have empty reputations. I am just showing up."

The woman in green clothes whispered calmly: "You have many guards, you shouldn't be in the same room with me."

"With my sister by my side, I can sleep peacefully. I also need more help from my sister. My sister's existence can conceal my humble background. Please continue to tolerate me." Wei Fufeng pleaded softly.

The woman in green clothes was silent. After a while, she whispered: "When can you go to Chengdu?"

"I need to help my uncle win the victory. If my uncle fails in Xichuan, he will be dismissed from office, which will make the Wei family even more difficult. So I am seeking to gain Luzhou's military strength." Wei Fufeng explained.

The woman in green clothes shook her head lightly and said: "It will take a long time for you to act like this."

"Sister's revenge has been avenged. You don't have any worries, so why not stay with me for a long time." Wei Fufeng looked at the woman in green with soft eyes and confessed boldly.

The woman in green clothes shook her head lightly and said: "You and I are not the same. My heart does not want to be involved in worldly troubles. I just want to live in peace for the rest of my life."

"Sister, in troubled times, there will be peaceful places there. No Taoist temple can avoid the scourge of soldiers and bandits. If you go into the mountains alone to escape from the world, it is definitely not a long-term solution for survival." Wei Fufeng countered.

The woman in green clothes shook her head lightly and turned around silently.

Wei Fufeng looked at the beautiful silhouette of his back and felt very warm in his heart. These days, although he and the woman in green just got along politely, he developed a tacit good impression.

Wei Fufeng looked at her softly, and suddenly walked over, approached the woman in green clothes, and asked in a low voice: "Please tell me your sister's name? I want to remember it in my heart."

"You and I will be reunited by fate, and we will also be separated by fate. There is no need to know each other too much." The woman in green refused softly.

"Sister knows my name, so I should know her name. Maybe we will be separated, but I don't want to leave irreparable regrets in the beautiful memories." Wei Fufeng said firmly.

The woman in green clothes was silent, and Wei Fufeng was also waiting in silence. After a while, the woman in green clothes whispered: "I'm afraid of you, my name is Lin Qingxue."

"Qingxue, sister Qingxue, I will remember it in my heart." Wei Fufeng whispered solemnly.

Lin Qingxue turned around and looked at Wei Fufeng, whispering: "I am accompanying you accommodatingly just to repay your kindness."

Wei Fufeng nodded, and Lin Qingxue whispered: "What is your official position? If you need me to do anything, I will try my best to assist you."

Wei Fufeng nodded, walked forward, and spoke softly.

Lin Qingxue was surprised when she heard this. Wei Fufeng took out the festival seal and presented it to her. Lin Qingxue held the festival seal in her hand and looked through it.

"Sister, take this festival seal," Wei Fufeng said.

Lin Qingxue shook her head and passed her jade hand back, whispering: "You should hide such an important thing."

Wei Fufeng smiled and shook his head, saying: "I am the governor of Jiedushi. Official uniforms are authority. The heavy seal of the festival affects the official etiquette. My sister holds it and I give instructions when using it. It will make me more distinguished."

Lin Qingxue nodded, but Wei Fufeng knew clearly in his heart that the festival seal was a dead thing, and the value of this southern Sichuan festival seal was not as good as a military crossbow.

Although the eunuch Yang Hui did not have this seal, he was able to get another one to replace it.

...

Early the next morning, Wei Fu

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

Feng, Lin Qingxue and Lao Feng left the inn in the same car and went out of the city to the dock.

Arriving at the dock, we boarded the ship smoothly and set off. A troop ship sailed down the river.

Wei Fufeng, Yang Hui and Wan Long each took the three largest ships.

Wei Fufeng was escorted by five of his subordinates on the boat, and Lao Feng was followed by a group of soldiers on the boat.

When boarding the ship, Lao Feng boarded Wei Fufeng's ship.

After setting off, he and Wei Fufeng continued to discuss things in the inner cabin, mainly about Dongchuan. Lao Feng went shopping in the city and got a lot of information.

Wei Fufeng listened very carefully. Dongchuan Jiedushi Gu Yanlang and his younger brother Gu Yanhui were both Shence generals.

Gu Yanhui is now in Chengdu, as the representative of the Dongchuan Army, leading thousands of troops under Wei Zhaodu's command.

Gu Yanlang, the governor of Dongchuan, had considerable military talent and was good at making friends with nobles. He had a close friendship with Wang Jian.

His younger brother Gu Yanhui liked to associate with the nobles of Chang'an. It is said that most of the officials around him were from Chang'an nobles.

After hearing this, Wei Fufeng asked: "Old Feng, you said that Wang Meng intended to impersonate the messenger. Did he have any means to gain trust? Otherwise, even if there is an insider, the governor would not let him get close easily."

Old Feng thought for a moment and said, "Maybe he has official documents from Dongchuan Festival and can copy them and forge them."

Wei Fufeng nodded and said: "The current Dongchuan Jiedushi Seal must have been owned by Yang Shili."

Old Feng nodded and said: "With forged official documents and internal responses, the death of the governor can indeed shake people's hearts."

"If there is no internal response, even the official document will not work." Wei Fufeng testified.

Old Feng nodded and said: "It is difficult to make a choice. If you use Wang Meng to seize the city, you will easily suffer backlash from him. If you don't use it, you will not be able to implement it."

"We must not use him. I will capture the city myself." Wei Fufeng said calmly.

"Sir, it's best not to take risks." Old Feng stopped him.

"I'll tell you a strategy, do you think it's feasible?" Wei Fufeng whispered.

"Sir, please speak." Lao Feng responded.

"I want to pretend to be Gu Yanhui's brother-in-law, go to Changzhou to see the governor, and pretend to be the defense envoy of Changzhou and Luzhou, known as the defense envoy of southern Sichuan." Wei Fufeng said.

"Capital Defense Envoy? Young master wants to seize military power first." Old Feng said.

"Well, Shangzhou and Jinzhou once established defense envoys of the Jin and Shang capitals, with authority equivalent to that of Jiedu envoys, and I have official documents and seals, and the status of both defense envoys is neither high nor low, which is easy for the Luzhou governor to accept."

Wei Fufeng said.
