Wei Fufeng was silent, he had a hundred thousand army, he also had a hundred thousand army, a ragtag army of one hundred thousand, facing the tiger and wolf army who had experienced hundreds of battles.

The tiger and wolf army only needed 10,000 men to defeat the 100,000-strong mob.

Suddenly Grandfather asked: "Fufeng, what do you think the court should do?"

Wei Fufeng was slightly startled and replied: "The imperial army is newly recruited, and most of them join the army just to earn a living. Once there is a war, everyone wants to escape, so the imperial court should not send troops, but sit back and watch the feudal towns fighting each other.

Given time, the military will be trained to obey orders."

Grandfather nodded, turned to look at Uncle Fourteen, and said, "Fourteen, what would you do if your subordinates fled in battle?"

The fourteenth uncle replied: "If you flee from the battle, you will naturally be killed."

"If a soldier runs away, you can kill and frighten him. If dozens of soldiers flee in panic, you can kill that one. What Fufeng said is true. Most of the 100,000 soldiers in Chang'an joined the army just to make a living. They lacked training, let alone

Weapons." Grandfather said.

"Father doesn't want me to go." Uncle Fourteen whispered in disappointment.

"My father also hopes that you can enter the official career, but this time I am not optimistic about the crusade against Li Keyong. The main reason is that Chang'an's military strength is unavailable and there is a lack of elite troops.

However, you have already joined the military, and there will be many troubles if you don't go. My father has come up with a solution that has both ends, that is, to allow you to retain the military status of Shence, but also to be able to reasonably avoid going to Hedong." Grandfather said gently.

Uncle Fourteen nodded lightly, and Wei Fufeng understood in his heart that his grandfather did not want his son to die, but he did not want his son to live a mediocre life.

Grandfather turned his head again and said gently: "Fufeng, go see your parents. Your mother will make the final decision for you."

Wei Fufeng responded with a salute, but suddenly his heart was touched and he said: "Grandpa, my grandson wants to change his name to Fufeng."

Grandfather was slightly startled and said gently: "You can change your name if you want."

"My grandson would like to be named Wei Zheng, Zhengrong Zheng." Wei Fufeng asked obediently.

Wei Fufeng's name can easily be leaked. If the name of Wei Zheng, the governor of southern Sichuan, is approved by his grandfather, it will silence the clan members in the future.

"Zhengrong, okay, grandpa will change your household registration and marry you under Wei Zheng's name." Grandpa nodded in agreement.

"Thank you, grandfather, for the name." Wei Fufeng responded respectfully, knowing that his grandfather attached great importance to his relationship with Li Ding, and as for his marriage, it was just a means of making good friends.

Wei Fufeng left his grandfather's study, and his fourteenth uncle stayed in the study to talk to his grandfather.

Walking out of his grandfather's residence, Wei Fufeng immediately saw a lot of people. First of all, there was a middle-aged man with a face like a crown jewel, an elegant temperament, and wearing a half-worn round-neck robe, but it was his father Wei Xuan.

Behind my father, there were many women standing. Among them was an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, Wei Fufeng's sister. The older women were the aunt, my mother-in-law, Aunt Zhao, a maid and a servant girl.

Wei Fufeng hurriedly walked away and bowed down and said, "My child has met your father, aunt."

"Well, it'll be good when you're back. You're too much nonsense." Father Wei Xuan responded, showing concern for his son.

Wei Fufeng's nose was a little sore. He always felt that his father did not pay attention to him, and indeed he rarely saw his father on weekdays.

In fact, he heard his mother say that his father had his own depression, and it seemed that his grandfather disliked him the most.

"Fufeng, don't act recklessly in the future. Once you leave, I will be uneasy day and night, and your mother will shed tears." The beautiful middle-aged woman to the left of his father gently lectured Wei Fufeng.

"My child knows his fault." Wei Fufeng responded heartily.

"Okay, Feng'er, you and

Fufeng, let’s talk.” The aunt turned her head and said with a smile.

A beautiful round-faced woman standing next to my aunt smiled lightly. Wei Fufeng suddenly saluted his father and said, "Dad, I was just in my grandfather's study. I was given the name Wei Zheng by my grandfather, with the courtesy name Fufeng."

Wei Xuan was slightly startled, then nodded and said, "It's a good thing that your grandfather gave me the name."

Wei Fufeng nodded, and the family turned and left outside the grandfather's courtyard.

Wei Fufeng's grandfather was very strict in running the family. Wei Xuan did not even dare to enter the courtyard gate without being summoned. But on the other hand, it also shows that Wei Xuan was a cautious person.

On the way, the family separated. Wei Fufeng and his mother went back to their own house, followed by a beautiful maid in blue.

Wei Fufeng knew Mingyu. He looked at Mingyu in a friendly manner, smiled and nodded.

Mingyu lowered his head shyly and grabbed the corners of his clothes with his small white hands.

Wei Fufeng's heart was filled with emotion when he saw it. Mingyu was the maid in the aunt's room. She was fifteen or sixteen years old. She was a pretty little beauty with fair skin and fair face.

A maid from a wealthy family usually has three options when she reaches adulthood: she either becomes the male master's concubine, or she marries a high-status slave, or she becomes a dowry for a young lady.

As for redemption, it is difficult to obtain release from the host's family.

Mother looked on and laughed and said: "Fufeng, Mingyu likes you. He took the initiative to tell mother that he was willing to trust you. You must cherish her in the future."

Wei Fufeng's heart was warm and humming. He had never thought that the beautiful maid in his aunt's room would fall in love with him, he was just envious of her.

It can also be said that I was jealous that my brother had five beautiful maids serving him, but he didn't even have a single servant.

The three of them continued walking, and their mother whispered again: "Fufeng, the young lady who is marrying Mr. Li Ding is a concubine, and I think she must have a very good temperament."

"Children are treated the same as children born by direct descendants and children by concubines, but they are just the reason for the friendship between the ancestors." Wei Fufeng responded indifferently, but he may not agree with the actions of his ancestors.

"You kid, don't talk nonsense. If your marriage to Miss Li Mansion is successful, you will have the opportunity to enter the official career." Mother scolded.

Wei Fufeng was noncommittal. He was a veritable military governor. In terms of official rank, he was no lower than Li Ding. In terms of actual power, he was far from being comparable to Li Ding.

Arrogance arose in my heart, and suddenly a shadow appeared in my mind, thinking to myself: "Everything I experienced in southern Sichuan may be just a dream, so I shouldn't have an arrogant attitude."

"Well, it is said that there are people in the court who are good at becoming officials. If Li Ding gets me a local official position, with the Fufeng Army that I can still control, I may be able to occupy a foundation. With the foundation, I can support the army...

..”

Suddenly my mother asked: "Fufeng, what are you thinking about?"

"Oh, mother, the marriage was decided when the child was young." Wei Fufeng came back to his senses and responded casually.

"If there is no news after leaving Fufeng County, we can only pretend it doesn't exist." My mother replied.

Wei Fufeng nodded. He used to wear a wedding jade fish on his chest. When he lived alone, his mother took it away and kept it for fear of losing it.

It was decided that the concubine would give birth to a concubine, but Wei Fufeng's father fell into poverty, and the news of the marriage was cut off, so he could only pretend that it did not exist.

Wei Fufeng walked back to the HOS flat with his mother.

Seeing Wei Fufeng return, Hu Hue stood respectfully and respectfully.

Wei Fufeng introduced: "Mom, this is Amber, my new maid, and Xiaoxue. I will bring it back tomorrow."

My mother looked at Amber, looked at it carefully, nodded, and whispered: "Since you brought it back, let's keep it, but you have to leave the government to avoid trouble."

"Hu Huo's relatives are in Shangluo County. I will go and take care of it tomorrow."

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

Wei Fufeng responded with a smile.

Mother nodded, and Wei Fufeng said again: "Mother, I need to go to Chang'an. I will go there in a few days."

"Why are you going to Chang'an? You don't need to go there to get married." Mother said in surprise.

"My child wants to see Mr. Li Ding. Please ask for an official as soon as possible." Wei Fufeng answered with a reason. He needed to be in charge of Fufeng's army.

"The elders have to communicate with each other about the matter of seeking an official position. It's not appropriate for you to go." My mother objected.

"Mom, my uncle recommended me to Mr. Li Ding. I passively waited for my uncle to come back, but it was already too late." Wei Fufeng said.

"How come your uncle is late when he comes back?" my mother asked in confusion.

"Uncle's war in Xichuan was at a disadvantage. As a result, he would be punished by the emperor, or at least demoted. The child needs to seek an official position as soon as possible and cannot live up to his expectations." Wei Fufeng explained.

Mother nodded and said hesitantly, "Would it be rash for you to go see me so eagerly?"

"If Mr. Li Ding is willing to continue to be on good terms with my uncle, I will definitely get an official position if I go to see him. If Mr. Li Ding intends to alienate my uncle, I won't be able to see him anytime," Wei Fufeng said.

Mother nodded and said: "This matter needs to be reported to the boss. You must not do anything reckless again."

"Child, take it into account." Wei Fufeng responded. In fact, he would not go to see his grandfather to avoid causing complications. In addition, instead of repeatedly exposing the truth of deception, it would be better to act hastily.

After nagging some more words of concern, her mother left. Before leaving, she told Mingyu not to forget to pick up dinner.

The food in Changshi Mansion is provided uniformly, but the supply is different according to status.

After her mother left, Mingyu shyly called her son and formally greeted Wei Fufeng.

Wei Fufeng smiled and nodded, Mingyu turned around and pulled Hu Huai to the wooden bed, took a set of clothes from the bed and gave it to Hu Huai.

Wei Fufeng turned around and walked into the courtyard. He stood looking at the sunset over the western mountains and thought again about the feasibility of seeking an official position.

Wei Fufeng understood that even if he sought an official position, he could only be an auxiliary officer in the county. Many military governors in vassal towns would accept serving as local auxiliary officers in the imperial court.

Most of the local officials who served in the imperial court would not gain much power.

But for Wei Fufeng, as long as he has a legitimate position, he can use military power to turn clouds and rain, and turn from an empty official into a master.

The key is to find the best official position there.

Wei Fufeng squatted down, grabbed a stone and drew on the ground, silently counting the prefectures south of Chang'an, Shannan West Road, Shannan East Road, and Jingnan Three Gorges.

Shannan West Road has Yang Shouliang, and Shannan East Road is the territory bordering Huainan Road.

Jingnan was occupied by Cheng Ru, and it is said that he did not accept the appointment of an auxiliary officer in the imperial court.

Well, Jinzhou (Ankang, southern Shaanxi).

After Wei Fufeng counted, he clicked on Jinzhou to the east of Yangzhou.

Jinzhou is adjacent to Yangzhou. Historically, Jinzhou and Xingyuan Prefecture both belonged to Hanzhong County.

The Han River, a tributary of the great river, originates from the Qinling Mountains and the Daba Mountains, and flows from west to east through Xingyuanfu, Yangzhou, Jinzhou, Junzhou, and Xiangzhou until it merges into the great river in Ezhou (Wuhan).

Xixiang County in Yangzhou, Hanzhong, is the starting point of the Ziwu Road heading north to Chang'an and the starting point of the Litchi Road heading south to Bazhong and Fuling.

Jinzhou is located in the Ankang Basin in the Han River Basin, adjacent to Kuizhou in the Three Gorges area to the south, and to the north is the Qinling Mountains. It reaches Chang'an directly through the Kugu Road in the Qinling Mountains.

Shangzhou, adjacent to the northeast of Jinzhou, once established a defense envoy of the Jinzhou and Shang Dynasties to govern the two states. Later, Shangzhou was occupied by Han Jian, and the imperial court assigned Jinzhou to the Wuding Jiedu envoy.
