The aunt said gently: "Mom is not an exaggeration. You should know that Taizong and his two brothers were killed by each other at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty."

Yang Lihua's face changed and she said in surprise: "Mom, Yun Qing and Fufeng, how can their brothers compare with Taizong? Yun Qing is possible, impossible."

The aunt said calmly: "There are many impossible things. Your fourteenth uncle is a famous fool, but he became the governor of the army. Yun Qing will serve as the chief minister and the defensive envoy in the future, and will have at least two thousand subordinates."

Yang Lihua nodded, and the aunt said again: "As Yun Qing's status improves and his military and political power, people with all kinds of thoughts will come to him, some will flatter him, some will want to get in, and some will want to use him."

Yang Lihua nodded, and the aunt said again: "In a high position, you will inevitably be flattered. Holding the power in your hands will gradually become more ambitious, and you will be more greedy than you are confused."

"The wife will advise the husband." Yang Lihua said.

The aunt looked at Yang Lihua and said gently: "You must remember that you are the eldest sister-in-law. The higher the status of Fufeng, the higher your status will be, and you will be extremely rich. But if you capsize, it will be a disaster for the family to be destroyed."

"Mom, don't scare your wife." Yang Lihua whispered in panic.

"Mom doesn't want to scare you either, she's just worried that Yun Qing's mistake was overestimated. Do you see if Fu Feng is very kind, but his other side is extremely bloody.

From the initial danger to Luzhou, the two wealthy families were destroyed, and the subsequent battles killed tens of millions of people, many people from the Wei family said that he was lucky, but when they saw him waving his butcher knife, they would know what it means to be weak and frightened." The aunt said coldly.

Yang Lihua was silent, and the aunt whispered: "Fufeng is a genius with complete plans."

"The wife will advise the husband." Yang Lihua could only continue to make promises.

The aunt said, "Don't nag the advice, otherwise it will make Yun Qing disgusted. You should keep an eye on it and let your mother know who flatters and bewitches Yun Qing."

"My wife has written it down." Yang Lihua responded.

The aunt said, "After you pay New Year's greetings to your mother's house, you can go to your mother's house again. Hongnong Yang is a big family. If a talented person is willing to come, you can invite him to do so."

"Yes, my wife has written it down." Yang Lihua responded happily.

......

The next morning, Wei Fufeng arrived in Xiyuan to meet his grandfather, who asked someone to inform him yesterday.

By the pond in the West Garden, there were only Wei Fufeng and his grandfather sitting diagonally opposite each other while drinking tea.

Grandfather smiled and said, "I should communicate with you first about your twelfth uncle."

Wei Fufeng said: "For the matter of the twelfth uncle, the grandson is not to contradict his grandfather, but Jingzhou and Langzhou are too important. The grandson must be treated with caution, especially Langzhou. It is related to the major plan of communicating with Longyou, and you must not make any mistakes."

"Communicate with Longyou?" Grandfather said unexpectedly.

"Well, the Jialing River and its tributary of the Western Han River can reach Chengzhou, Longyou. The ancient Zhuge Liang went out of the Qishan Mountains." Wei Fufeng replied.

"The Western Han River connects Longyou? Oh, I always thought that Zhuge Liang went out of Qishan through land, and it turned out that there was a Western Han River waterway." Grandfather suddenly said.

Wei Fufeng said: "Only by carrying baggage on the waterway can we obtain the lowest manpower and material loss. Zhuge Liang went out of Qishan, because Cao Wei's weak rule over Longyou, and the Western Han River was able to communicate with Shu and Longyou."

Grandfather nodded, thought for a while and said, "We just own Langzhou, and there is a section of waterway that is the territory of Fengxiang Army, so I'm afraid it's difficult to communicate."

Wei Fufeng said: "The waterways of the Western Han Dynasty are only reserved. Once Longyou is hit by a large-scale counterattack by Tubo, the grandson must promptly reinforce Longyou.

When a crisis occurs in Longyou, you can send envoys to Langzhou quickly, and your grandson can send 10,000 troops to reinforce. If you are surprised by the first time, you will be able to pass through the Fengxiang Army successfully."

Grandfather nodded, and Wei Fufeng said again: "In addition, if one day Xuanwu army occupied Chang'an and blocked the north and south, we can only rely on the Western Han River to communicate with Longyou. At that time, we shared the same hatred of the enemy, and Li Maozhen was willing to unite with us."

"Oh? If the Xuanwu Army occupied Chang'an, don't you want to attack the Hedong Army?" asked grandfather.

Wei Fufeng said: "Sun'er dared not count on the Hedong Army's attack. If the Xuanwu Army attacked the pass, the Hedong Army would likely attack the Central Plains. On the surface, it was to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, but in fact it wanted us to fight hard with the Xuanwu Army.

Of course, if the Hedong Army sent troops to fight the Xuanwu Army within the pass, we should respond to the dispatch of troops, otherwise we can only hold on to it."

Grandfather nodded, and Wei Fufeng said again: "The existence of the Western Han River has enabled us to take the initiative in military affairs, and the Longyou military power can go downstream and take Hanzhong.

Once the Fengxiang army loses Hanzhong, it will lead to the consequences of being blocked and difficult to achieve.

Jianmen Pass is a man who can pass through ten thousand men, but in turn, the number of troops sent by Shu will be severely limited."

Grandfather nodded, but said solemnly: "Li Maozhen will also know the consequences you can know. If it is not done well, Li Maozhen is likely to take the initiative to attack Longyou."

Wei Fufeng said: "Grandfather, Li Maozhen knows the consequences and it is also difficult for him to be in a difficult situation. Our power and Li Maozhen's power are basically in a balanced state.

If Li Maozhen wants to take the initiative, he dare not let Fengxiang Mansion be empty, and he must draw the military force in Shu. However, once the military force in Shu is reduced, our threat will increase greatly. You must know that we have the elite Dongchuan Yajun, and we can attack Xichuan nearby."

Grandfather nodded and said, "You can't be careless. After all, Li Maozhen is a general. Knowing the serious consequences, it is not ruled out that he only uses the Fengxiang Mansion's military force to attack Longyou. Even if we can take advantage of the situation and send troops, it is not easy to capture the city of Fengxiang Mansion."

Wei Fufeng said: "My grandson went north to make arrangements and first arrived at Hezhong Prefecture. Please ask Wang Ke to lead a 10,000 troops across the Yellow River and go to Longyou for a walk."

Grandfather clapped his hands and smiled and said, "You are so skillful that you can kill two birds with one stone. It can shock the northern territory and increase Li Maozhen's concerns."

Wei Fufeng smiled and said, "In order to avoid stimulating Li Maozhen, his grandson only took the land of Longyou occupied by Tubo, so that Li Maozhen's army would become unknown."

Grandfather nodded and said, "As long as Hezhong Prefecture sends troops to Longyou, it can basically curb Li Maozhen's preemptive idea. Behind the troops of Hezhong Prefecture, there is the shadow of the Hedong Army."

Wei Fufeng nodded and said, "I have to admit that Shuofang and Longyou have not been attacked, mainly because of the deterrence of the Hedong Army."

Grandfather nodded and said, "Going north to the bitter cold, pay more attention to your health."

"Thank you grandfather's care." Wei Fufeng responded gently.

The grandfather said again: "Your twelfth uncle's work is limited to one year. The county magistrate is doing well. Please give it to him the prefect of Jiangling."

Wei Fufeng could only say: "Uncle Twelve is really good at politics, and his grandson will be willing."

Grandfather nodded and sighed: "The fifth brother is going to stay in Longyou for a long time, and he will not be allowed to return until the end of the year."

"Longyou is stable, and the fifth uncle will come back to celebrate the New Year, but it will indeed be stationed in Longyou. Longyou cannot live with the fifth uncle and cannot find someone to manage it more suitable for him." Wei Fufeng whispered.

Grandfather nodded and said a pun: "Next year, it's best to get all together."

Wei Fufeng smiled and nodded, knowing his grandfather's dream of emperor, and insisting on achieving it urgently.

.....

Jiu Niang bowed to the aunt and went back to Jiangling Mansion alone with her servants. This year, she would reunite with her family.

Wei Fufeng spent the New Year in Jinzhou. In fact, he didn't feel much fun. He was far less happy than the joy of spending the New Year in Yelang Mansion. He was mainly wearing masks and socializing, and was a false condom.

In the second year of Ganning (895), on the 17th day of the first lunar month, Wei Fufeng led 5,000 troops and set off north with his brother and wife, and parted ways by the vicinity of Chang'an.

The elder brother went to Chang'an City to visit his uncle and uncle. Before the New Year, Wei Zhaodu refused his brother's invitation, which made Wei Gong's family have to go to Chang'an to reunite with his father for the New Year.

In the first month of the year, Wei Fufeng led his army to Hezhong Prefecture. Wang Ke got his relatives to greet him at the ferry entrance, and stopped at Hedong County to hold a drink to greet him.

While drinking, Wei Fufeng made a request on the pretext of intimidating Dangxiang people.

Wang Ke was embarrassed and said that his father was seriously ill, but he was already in dying situation and might die at any time.

Wei Fufeng was surprised, but he was not willing to force him.

After thinking about it, Wang Ke still agreed to Wei Fufeng's request, but he could not lead the army himself.

Wei Fufeng is happy and inherits love for Wang Ke.

After making a decision to send troops, the two of them spoke, and Wang Ke expressed his own hidden worries.

It turned out that Wang Chongying, the governor of Hezhong, had never clearly defined the heir of the governor. He is now in a state of dying, drowsy and unable to make a will.

Wang Ke’s hidden worries are that he is not Wang Chongying’s own son, but adopted by his nephew as his son.

Wang Chongying also had two biological sons, one of whom was named Wang Yao, who served as the governor of Yanzhou and the governor of Baoda, and ruled the Fuzhou and Danzhou in Yanzhou (Yan'an).

Baoda Jiedu is located in the northwest of Hezhong Prefecture, which is the three prefectures on the west bank of the Yellow River on the south side of Xiasui.

Another son, Wang Gong, served as the governor of Shaanxi and Guo Jie, and ruled Shaanxi and Guozhou.

The Shaanxi-Guo Jiedu is located in the two prefectures south of the Yellow River in Hezhong Prefecture, east of the Tongguan Army, and west of Luoyang.

The territory that Wang Chongying gave to his two sons was not as rich as Hezhong Prefecture.

Wang Chongying never appointed the Hezhong Jieduan to stay in the queen, but he relied on his adopted son Wang Ke as the marching Sima, in charge of the 50,000 military force of Hezhong Prefecture.

Wang Ke faces the hidden worries of being unjustified. Once Wang Chongying dies, his two sons outside will definitely compete for the inheritance of Hezhong Mansion.

Wang Ke told Wei Fufeng clearly that Wang Chongying asked his two sons to leave Hezhong Mansion because he was afraid of being killed by his son.

Wang Chongying's fear can be described as a great sorrow for the heroes in troubled times.

Almost all the governors of the vassal states who started the rioters have experienced recurrences and betrayed their friends who worked together. They have seriously lacked trust, and the father and son are guarding against each other as if they were hostile.

Wei Fufeng left Hezhong Prefecture and brought ten thousand Hezhong Prefecture troops across the Yellow River, heading north along the west bank of the Yellow River.

He walked this road when he set out to Hedong, and now he headed to Suizhou and marched westward.

Most of the generals and officials in the leading army of the 10,000 Hezhong Army led by Wei Fufeng, who was not Wang Ke's confidant, which was requested by Wei Fufeng.
