Chapter 164: Wei Xuan Arrives

......

Wei Fufeng led his army to Lingui County, rested for three days, learned about information from all parties, and knew that after the defeat of the Qiandongliao people, he did not attack Shaozhou again.

When the scout returned, Wei Fufeng's army set out toward the southwest. His targets for this march were Liuzhou and Xiangzhou. He would not conquer other states by force, avoiding the joint hostility between Yongguan and Rongguan.

Wei Fufeng was worried that southern Sichuan and Badong would need to return to Fuzhou to station as soon as possible.

The troops pierced into Liuzhou. The governor of Liuzhou fled and ran to Xiangzhou with more than 6,000 troops. He joined forces with the governor of Xiangzhou, and also had more than 20,000 troops.

The two states have only more than 10,000 troops, and the other half comes from Rongguan and Yongguan.

The governor of Xiangzhou and the governor of Liuzhou did want to counterattack Guizhou, but they did not expect that the nearly 10,000 people who attacked Shaozhou were defeated. Unexpectedly, Wei Fufeng brought tens of thousands of troops to attack.

The closure of the region made them wonder how big Wei Fufeng's territory was.

Wei Fufeng's army was stationed in Maping County, Liuzhou, and sent two envoys to meet Rong Guan Pang Ju Zhao and Yong Guan Ye Guangluo. In the name of Gui Guan Observation Envoy, he ordered the troops of both to withdraw from Gui Guan.

In addition, let the envoy inform him that he was the marching Sima of the Governor's Office of the Southern Sichuan Jiedu, the Governor's Office of the Lingnan Jiedushi, the Fujian Observation Envoy, and the General of the Yelang Mansion.

Also, Ye Guangluo and Pang Juzhao were invited to Guizhou to congratulate the new observation envoy, listen to the imperial edict, open up the trade routes, and send tribute to the Tang Dynasty. The Guiguan Observation envoy was transferred to the Tang Dynasty.

Wei Fufeng stationed in Liuzhou for one day, and the next day the army advanced into Xiangzhou. The governor of Xiangzhou retreated to Yangshou County, Zhouzhi. Wei Fufeng's army was besieged and waited for Rongguan and Yongguan to echo.

Xiangzhou was the place where Xue Rengui, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, moved to exile, and a tomb was established to be passed down from generation to generation.

Xue Rengui made great military achievements for the Tang Dynasty. He lost Ronggui because of a great defeat with Tubo and was exiled to Xiangzhou as a military officer under the governor.

After all, Xue Rengui was once a high-ranking official. At that time, the governor of Xiangzhou was respectful and obedient, which made Xue Rengui like the lord of Xiangzhou, making some contributions to the governance and people's livelihood of Xiangzhou, and made the rule of Han officials in Guizhou's territory deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

When Wei Fufeng set out for war, Wei Xuan also took his family to leave Jinzhou.

To be honest, Wei Xuan is a person who is unwilling to take risks. He likes the place where peace is, especially in Jinzhou, who is quite happy and reluctant to leave.

But he was the head of the family. Seeing that his son's achievements were getting bigger and bigger, he was really ashamed to be the county magistrate for a long time, and he was forced to accept the improvement of his status.

In this regard, Aunt Wei Fufeng is more eager to gain the honor of female relatives.

Aunt Wei Fufeng firmly supported her husband to take office, which had a lot to do with his brother Chu Yanhe's letter.

When Chu Yanhe left Yanzhou, he wrote to Aunt Wei Fufeng and his daughter, informing him that he went south to serve as the governor of Quanzhou.

The six originally despicable brothers have now become high-ranking officials in charge of a state, which makes Wei Fufeng's aunt feel very moved.

In contrast, the husband was content with the county magistrate, thinking about water control and civil affairs every day, which made the aunt helpless.

Wei Xuan and his family traveled south and encountered unexpected courtesy. The civil and military officials who passed by respectfully welcomed and received the emperor, as if they were welcoming the emperor. Wei Xuan was originally equivalent to the "Supreme Emperor".

Wei Xuan did not show off his airs, and he politely politely to civil and military officials, and spoke equally.

Along the way, I met Kuizhou, Shizhou, Yanzhou, Langzhou, Tanzhou, and Tanzhou. The defense envoy Gan Fengchi led a heavy army to escort Shaozhou in person.

From Shaozhou, he brought 4,000 troops, totaling 15,000 troops, and entered Yongzhou in a mighty manner.

It was actually escorted by escort and captured Yongzhou and Daozhou. Wei Xuan and his family were guarded by 500 soldiers to Guizhou.

He successfully arrived in Lingui County, Guizhou, and officials entered the city to introduce the state yamen.

Wei Xuan looked at the dilapidated scene in the city, and was not disappointed. Instead, he had a pioneering mentality of eagerness to try. When he entered Jinzhou City, he was also dilapidated and poor.

Wei Fufeng had to report his father to come to his post, and Gan Fengchi sent troops to attack Yongzhou was also his military order.

Otherwise, how could Gan Fengchi dare to mobilize heavy troops to leave without authorization and take down Daozhou and Yongzhou, and the so-called Wu'an army would be unified.

When he learned that his son had gone to Xiangzhou, he could not let Wei Fufeng come back to see his relatives.

Wei Xuan rested overnight and inspected Lingui County for a due diligence the next day, understanding the population and people's livelihood, local production, warehousing, military strength, and knowing officials, so he knows it.

Since Wei Xuan served as the county magistrate of real power, he is confident in governance. He still needs to discuss with his father and coordinate with his brothers when doing things in Jinzhou. Now in Guizhou, he can cover up the sky and manage it as he pleases.

After learning about the city, Wei Xuan took people out of the city to patrol, visit the local landlords and clans, inquiring about the agricultural harvest and tax burden, which made Lingui County amazed for a moment.

The officials were so scared that they were nervous, afraid that Wei Xuan would have something to do outside, so the local landlords were both surprised and moved.

No matter how nervous the guards and officials were, Wei Xuan was appointed to promulgate the political statements in the territory for ten days after taking office.

Agricultural cooperation is encouraged to plant irrigation, trade, various workshops, repair the main streets in the city, and reduce the tax by half. If it is a military household, the tax is 30% of the original tax.

Two days after Wei Xuan promulgated the political Regulations, Gan Fengchi conquered Yongzhou and Daozhou, led an army of 10,000 into Guizhou, passed through Lingui County, and went to Liuzhou without stopping.

Wei Xuan was shocked and wondered if he was lucky to go to the battle?

Five days later, Gan Fengchi led another 10,000 troops back, stationed in Lingui County, and entered the city to pay homage to Wei Xuan.

Wei Xuan learned that Gan Fengchi led his army to demonstrate, and his intention was to tell Gui Guan that Yong Guan and Rong Guan could transfer more military forces at any time.

The troops stationed in Ganfengchi only stayed for one day and drove back to Tanzhou the next day.

......

The next day, Tan Quanbo and his family arrived in Guizhou and met Wei Xuan via the way. Tan Quanbo was appointed as the governor of Daozhou by Wei Fufeng and did not stay in Guiguan.

Wei Fufeng still surrounded Xiangzhou without attacking. Seeing that his son had so much military strength, Wei Xuan calmly continued to implement the political principles.

The situation was in a stalemate. Although Wei Fufeng was anxious to withdraw his troops, he could only wait patiently for the echo of Rong Guan and Yong Guan. However, Rong Guan and Yong Guan had no echoes for a long time, and he besieged the city for more than half a month.

The aunt asked someone to ask Wei Fufeng to come back to Guizhou for a few days to reunite. If she couldn't come back, could she send Wanyu over to serve?

Wei Fufeng refused because he could not shake the morale of the army. Three days later, good news suddenly came, Mingyu, Cheng Qin'er, Zi Shao and Cha Xian were pregnant.

Wei Fufeng looked at the three letters in his hand and couldn't say anything for a moment. He felt joy, relief, and worries.

Joy is to have descendants, relieved is to be able to pass on the family line, and worry is to be to worry Sister Lin is to be sad.

He and Lin Qingxue have a lot of love, but Sister Lin is not pregnant and feels worried. Naturally, his relationship with Lin Qingxue is not very deep.

Mingyu's good news, Lin Qingxue's letter informed him that the letter congratulated the husband on his post and told Wei Fufeng to take care of his health and not to ignore minor illnesses. In the smoky and chaotic places in Lingnan, it is necessary to prevent diseases.

Wei Fufeng was moved by his heart. He went to Lingnan and knew that the smoky land was easy to be contaminated by the land. He prepared a large number of pills in the army and drank water in Lingnan and Fujian. The entire army had to drink the potion that he had burned, so few of them were infected in the army.

Wei Fufeng is young and strong, and he never cares about minor illnesses. He pays great attention to changing clothes and maintaining moderate cold and heat, and does not overeat.

In essence, he was different from the rude military man and had good aristocratic cultivation habits.

Cheng Qin'er's good news about pregnancy, Li Xuerou's letter to inform her.

Li Xuerou was also a concern, expressing her desire for pregnancy in a vague way. She mentioned that Hongxing and Furong's children were raised by her, so that Wei Fufeng could get married with them as soon as possible.

Wei Fufeng didn't have deep feelings for Cheng Qin'er, but he didn't hate it either.

Cheng Qin'er's temperament is similar to Tian Wen'er's straightforwardness, but not as arrogant as Tian Wen'er. Cheng Qin'er's pregnancy made his baby, so Cheng Qin'er's past was really gone.

After reading Tian Wen'er's letter, Wei Fufeng was speechless even though he was speechless.

Tian Wen'er's font is like a sword technique that is scattered and twisted, of different sizes, and it is difficult to identify, but this is Tian Wen'er's wish.

The content of the letter is fierce and straightforward. The first sentence is that the mother is pregnant with a baby. I am very happy. I can rest assured that my husband is a real man. Unfortunately, I am not good at it and I still need my husband to spoil me well.

The following is written about the main affairs of Yelang Mansion. For example, Tian Wen'er was very satisfied with the thousands of human slaves sent, how much land has Yelang Mansion reclaimed, the north-south traded and had civil exchanges, and more than a dozen things.

Wei Fufeng has read the letter of home and collect it carefully. The letter of home cannot be mixed with the letter of public trust.

After thinking about it, he wrote a reply letter and asked the messenger to bring four Nanzhu back, saying it was a gift to the future child.

After the messenger left, Wei Fufeng sighed softly, some people were happy and some were worried. He should care about pregnant women, but the standards were not easy to grasp, so he could only give Nanzhu, and could not express concern through letters.

Wei Fufeng walked out of the tent and looked at Yangshou County.

Yangshou County is not a strong city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The city wall is six meters high, the women's wall is broken, and the city tower is as simple as a shed.

The barbarians' construction areas are not as skilled as those of the Han people.

Wei Fufeng's siege and failure to attack was, first, he was unwilling to lose too much military strength, and the military strength was severely damaged, causing difficulties in the aftermath, and second, he was seeking long-term stability.

Today he took Xiangzhou by force. Once the army left, Yongguan and Rongguan would probably counterattack.

He cannot let Gui Guan fall into a tug-of-war. He currently does not have the ability to sweep all separatist forces in the southwest. His rule requires rest and accumulation of fundamental power.

Although the army besieged the city and consumed, they deliberately let go of the messengers sent in the city.

Wei Fufeng is not afraid of being exhausted at this time. Southern Sichuan, Jinzhou, Tanzhou, Fujian, and Yelang Mansions are all very stable. The 30,000 troops brought by Zhao Yidou also eat food but do not farm in Fuzhou.

The more than 20,000 enemy troops in the city stayed in the city and did not dare to fight. If this was consumed, it would be detrimental to the military strength in the city, and it would eat less and less food, and there would be shortage of medicine.

The enemy's idea was nothing more than to count on foreign aid, hoping that Yongguan and Rongguan could send troops to rescue the siege and defeat Wei Fufeng's army together.

Wei Fufeng did not persuade people to surrender. Xiangzhou and Liuzhou were the barriers of Guizhou and must be controlled. Wei Fufeng looked at it for a moment and returned to the big tent with a calm expression, thinking about the situation in the world.
