Chapter 18 Escape

There is a deeper hidden danger, and Wei Fufeng does not want to leave the consequences of a vendetta.

The little boy will eventually grow up, and driven by hatred, he will do everything possible and use any means to harm all the enemy's relatives.

Wei Fufeng stood stunned for a while and thought to himself: "It was the town general who killed the rich people. I will explain it to my sister tomorrow."

Wei Fufeng left to rest, and quickly fell asleep due to fatigue.

Early the next morning, someone reported that Yang Hetui, the governor of the Dudu Mansion, wanted to see him, and Wei Fufeng hurriedly went to see him.

The Dudu's Office's official promotion responsibilities are currently mainly based on supervision.

Wei Fufeng ordered Li Chenggang to go to the south of the Yangtze River. Many officials from the Governor's Office and the Transportation Department accompanied the army, one to supervise military discipline and the other to count the harvest.

Wei Fufeng's approach did not allow the army to become a rogue army that looted at will, and also limited the leader's financial and reward power.

The leader has the power to command operations, and the power to punish lawlessness mainly belongs to the governor's office officials.

The officials of the Governor's Office are equivalent to half of the supervisory army, but they have no right to interfere with the command and operations of the leading army.

In the front house, the promotion officer Yang He and two subordinates met Wei Fufeng and presented them with the inspection account book and credit book.

Wei Fufeng took the account book and credit book and listened to Yang He's oral report.

Yang He is in his early thirties, has a dark round face, thin eyebrows and eyes, a mustache, and is from Jingnan. He once worked as a county official.

"Very good, how is the situation of the family soldiers?" Wei Fufeng asked calmly, but in fact he was very happy in his heart. The harvest from confiscating the wealthy family was far beyond his expectation.

"After receiving your Lord's order, my subordinates carefully interrogated many of the soldiers. They are among the soldiers who are famous for their military prowess. There are 323 people in total. Nearly half of them are leaders. I have already brought them to Lu County.

Yang He replied respectfully.

Wei Fufeng nodded and said: "You have done a good job. Our army has set up the Governor's Office, the Transportation Department and the Military Office. The purpose is to decentralize power and rule, so that the capable can obtain official positions and wealth, and the soldiers can obtain land and food and clothing."

Yang He said respectfully: "Your Majesty's laws are the foundation of peace and order."

Wei Fufeng smiled lightly and said: "Any meritorious service must be rewarded. Our army is well aware of your meritorious service. At present, we can only do the same as the soldiers."

"Thank you, sir." The three officials stood up and responded respectfully.

Wei Fufeng nodded and said: "Yang He, go and issue an announcement from the Governor's Office in the name of our army. Bandits within the territory will be given land allotment as long as they surrender to our army. The leader has military skills and can become a military attaché.

"

Yang He was startled and said, "Sir, you want to recruit Anshan bandits?"

"Well, our army heard that there are over 10,000 mountain bandits in Luzhou, and we want to reduce the harm to the people and collect them for our own use." Wei Fufeng replied.

"Sir, the bandits are tough and untrustworthy, and their accommodation is prone to internal trouble. Please be careful," Yang He advised.

"Life in the mountains is very hard. Not many people are willing to occupy the mountains and become kings. The bandit leaders may not be willing to accept recruitment, but ordinary bandits yearn for a life with a family and a job. You go ahead and do it." Wei Fufeng argued softly.

Yang He said no more and respectfully bowed out.

After Yang He and his subordinates left, Wei Fufeng also left the mansion and went to the Transportation Department, which is the county government of Lu County.

The county government became a temporary transfer department, the original county magistrate was detained, and Zhang Wencheng was appointed as acting county magistrate.

After arriving at the county government office and meeting various officials, Wei Fufeng issued a military order to the Jiedushi envoy and ordered the transportation department to immediately honor Yang He's merits based on his merit book.

The first thousand soldiers who invaded Naxi County received double rewards, and the rest were rewarded.

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

Including surrendered family soldiers and town troops.

The officials of the Transportation Department took the military orders of the Jiedushi Envoy and set off for the south of the Yangtze River together with the military envoy Zhang Wencheng.

Zhang Wencheng went there to allocate the land, and the land allocation in Lu County was taken over by the official Yang He.

After receiving the order from the county government, Wei Fufeng went to patrol the city, met with the soldiers guarding the city, asked the soldiers about their needs, and then went to the military camp outside the city to meet with the officers.

As dusk approached, Wei Fufeng returned to his mansion tiredly. Not only had he had a hard day, but he was also constantly on guard for fear of a military coup or assassination.

Although exhausted, Wei Fufeng went to Lin Qingxue's place first. As soon as he entered the patio courtyard, he saw Xiaoxue's pretty figure.

When Xiaoxue saw Wei Fufeng, she said in panic: "Sir, my lady is gone, and she won't let me tell you."

Wei Fufeng was stunned for a moment, as if he had been splashed with ice water.

Xiaoxue's delicate face was timid, her eyes peeped in fear, and after a while, she heard: "Leaving?"

"The young lady left before noon. The young lady said that you don't need her escort anymore and it's time for her to leave. I dare not disobey the young lady's order and can only wait here." Xiaoxue said timidly.

Wei Fufeng nodded silently, walked to the small pavilion and sat down, looking at the fiery clouds in the sky with a dull expression.

Xiaoxue followed outside the pavilion and peeked into the pavilion timidly, obviously afraid of Wei Fufeng.

After a long time, Wei Fufeng whispered: "Sister, I am really not wrong. If I can't kill decisively, I can only accept my fate and become a slave."

After whispering, Wei Fufeng turned to look at Xiaoxue outside the pavilion and said gently: "You have done a good job. You should be loyal to your lady. I will take you away in a few days."

Xiaoxue nodded hurriedly, but quickly reacted and whispered hesitantly: "Master, take the slave away and go to Yuzhou?"

"Go to Rongzhou." Wei Fufeng replied softly.

...

Wei Fufeng left Xiaoxue and went back to the HOS to rest.

Lin Qingxue's departure left him feeling empty and panicked, triggering the crisis emotions that had accumulated over the past few days.

Wei Fufeng suddenly wanted to leave Luzhou. He was afraid of the upcoming war. It would be difficult to survive the overthrow of the nest. When Dongchuan Jiedushi's troops came over, could Luzhou's troops be able to resist?

Lin Qingxue's departure caused Wei Fufeng's courage to weaken.

In fact, Wei Fufeng had already expected defeat against the Dongchuan Jiedu Army's attack, so he tried his best to obtain available military strength, but his confidence in victory was always insufficient.

"Let's leave Luzhou temporarily and take part of the army with me to join my uncle. I have brought military strength with me. My uncle must think highly of me. I stay in Luzhou. Once the Luzhou army is defeated, I will be killed by the generals of the Luzhou army. I will take credit."

It is not uncommon to kill the coach and surrender." Wei Fufeng made the decision to escape.

Early the next morning, Wei Fufeng went to the military camp outside the city.

The military camp outside the city is roughly divided into nine systems, including the Eight Military Mansion and the White Tiger Hall.

The eight field envoys in the military mansion are equal to Baihutang in terms of power, and there are also pushing officers and judges in the military mansion, which belong to the governor's office and the transfer department.

Of course, the military camp outside the city cannot accommodate more than 20,000 soldiers. It is just the headquarters of the Eighth Army and the White Tiger Hall, and the Governor's Office and the Transportation Department are in the city.

Wei Fufeng entered the military camp and went directly to see Lao Feng.

Old Feng's appearance has changed drastically. He is wearing a bright red official robe with fine scale armor and a bright silver helmet. Although he is sitting on a wheeled cart, he looks quite majestic.

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

Old Feng sat on the wheelbarrow and bowed to Wei Fufeng.

Wei Fufeng waved his hand to dismiss Old Feng's soldiers, sat opposite Old Feng, and whispered in a serious voice: "Old Feng, I want to leave Luzhou."

Old Feng was startled, looked at Wei Fufeng unexpectedly, and whispered: "What do you mean, sir?"

"I want to take five thousand troops to Rongzhou." Wei Fufeng said.

Old Feng frowned, and then whispered: "Young master wants to go to Rongzhou, don't you want to occupy Luzhou as your foundation?"

Wei Fufeng shook his head and said: "I want Luzhou to become a foundation, but I don't want to lose my way of survival. I don't have the confidence to resist the Dongchuan army's attack, so I want to escape and go to Xichuan."

Old Feng was silent. After a while, Wei Fufeng said again: "I know you will be disappointed and disappointed with my cowardice, but my idea is very simple. Being able to stay alive is everything."

Old Feng nodded and said: "I understand the young master's mentality, but it would be a pity to give up Luzhou."

"I have not given up completely, but I don't want to fall into a dead end. The White Tiger Hall, the Governor's Mansion, the Transportation Department and the Military Mansion that I have set up can continue to function as checks and balances even if I am not around." Wei Fufeng whispered.

Old Feng nodded and said: "The decentralization of powers among the young masters can indeed check and balance each other, but if the young master is separated for a long time, changes will inevitably occur."

Wei Fufeng whispered: "That is for the future. We must be able to resist the Dongchuan Army's attack now. I came here to ask you whether you would like to stay or follow me to Xichuan."

Old Feng looked at Wei Fufeng and said: "Sir, I am willing to stay, but as a disabled person, I would rather live a glorious life, even if I die, I will have no regrets."

Wei Fufeng nodded, said nothing else, left the Baihu Hall, and went to inspect the land allocation matters in person. The military land of more than 20,000 soldiers was mainly in the Jiangyang area of ​​​​Lu County.

There are many fertile fields in Jiangyang, and the soldiers who are assigned to the fields will almost grab the fields and smell them. However, there are too many people, and at most a thousand people can get the fields in one day, so the generals and fire chiefs can first divide the fields.

Most of the Jiangyang farmland belongs to the Gao family and the Zhao family, with the Zhao family occupying 70%.

At noon, the riches of two wealthy families arrived from Jiangbei, as well as the family soldiers and warriors who were recommended to the official Yang Helu.

Wei Fufeng ordered that 20,000 soldiers and officials be rewarded with copper coins and floating wealth. The soldiers and warriors in the family directly became the personal guards of the Dudu Mansion and joined the ranks of those who got the land first.

Dividing fields, rewarding merit and appointing officials were Wei Fufeng's methods to gather military strength regardless of internal troubles.

If you kill "hidden danger" warriors out of concern, or separate your troops for custody, the consequences will be a weakening of the military.

Wei Fufeng did not go to see the warriors at home. A wise man does not stand on the side of a dangerous wall. If he approaches those warriors at home, there is a high possibility of being surprised.

The personal guards of the Dudu Mansion are actually on duty as fire chiefs, and Wei Fufeng wants to use those warriors to become fire chiefs to enhance the Luzhou Army's combat effectiveness.

In the afternoon, Wei Fufeng returned to his mansion in the city and saw eleven boxes of gold and silver treasures shipped from Jiangbei.

Wei Fufeng's heart couldn't help pounding. He selected a package of the most valuable treasures, personally sank a box of gold ingots into a well, and ordered ten boxes to be sent to the transportation department for storage.

In addition to floating wealth, the two wealthy families also accumulated a large amount of grain and well salt.

Wei Fufeng ordered a warehouse to be opened to provide porridge to the poor and displaced people in Luzhou, and he also sent people to Changzhou to deliver orders, ordering the governor Li Song to also provide relief to the refugees, and announced the promise of Jiedushi to recruit mountain bandits.

As a result, early two days later, the envoy from Changzhou rushed back to tell Wei Fufeng that the Changzhou governor had left with his seal, and his family was heading towards Hanzhong.
