Just as he was talking, Wei Xuan came to see his son. He was startled when he saw his son, and then saluted his father: "Father."

"Well, take a look at this." Grandfather responded, went to the desk to get the official document and handed it to Wei Xuan.

After Wei Xuan saw it, his face suddenly changed and he looked up at his father.

Grandfather said calmly: "This is the appointment that my father asked Fufeng to go to Chang'an and ask Lord Li Ding for."

"Father, isn't this right? How can we get to Jinzhou?" Wei Xuan asked anxiously.

"If you can't go to Jinzhou, how can you stay in Shangzhou for a long time? Your uncle is in trouble in Xichuan. He may be dismissed from office when he returns. At that time, his father's long history will also be lost. Without the official position of long history, how can he still protect you? At that time, you

, going to serve as soldiers in the Han Jian Army?" Grandfather said angrily.

"Father, Jinzhou is said to be very chaotic. What's the use of having the child gone?" Wei Xuan responded bitterly.

"Are you saying that my father did something wrong?" Grandfather said angrily.

"No, no, I mean Jinzhou. There is nothing I can do in Jinzhou." Wei Xuan responded in panic.

"Whether we can do anything is another matter. Now that Shangzhou is occupied by Han Jian, our family is in danger of being exterminated. Han Jian will find a reason to confiscate our house at any time. At that time, you will become a coolie, and your wife and daughter will become slaves.

For the sake of future survival, as a man, you should not stay at home for a long time and be idle." My grandfather warned me bitterly.

Wei Xuan's face changed slightly, he lowered his head and gritted his teeth, then nodded and said, "My child is willing to go, but I'm just worried about disappointing my father."

"My father will not be disappointed. You just went first. When you serve as county magistrate, my father will also be transferred to the governor of Jin Dynasty. Shangzhou cannot be retained." Grandfather sighed.

Ah? Wei Xuan was surprised, then nodded and said: "I understand, kid."

"Well, you go and prepare. In two days, you and Fufeng will set off for Jinzhou, and Fufeng will stay behind." Grandfather said.

Wei Xuan nodded and said goodbye, and Wei Fufeng hurriedly saluted his father.

Wei Xuan nodded and turned around to leave, but his grandfather suddenly said again: "Don't tell anyone about my transfer."

Wei Xuan hurriedly turned around and nodded in agreement, and his grandfather added: "After leaving, listen to Fufeng's advice more. Your son is the most capable among our grandchildren."

Wei Xuan nodded hurriedly, then turned and left when his father waved his hand.

After the study door was closed, his grandfather waved Wei Fufeng to walk with him to the desk.

The two continued their previous topic, and their grandfather said: "Although Jinzhou is poor, there are also wealthy people. The richest man in Xicheng County is the Li family, who is from the royal family. He owns a large amount of land in Jinzhou, and has built forts and soldiers.

More than three thousand."

"Grandpa, do you mean to rob the Li family?" Wei Fufeng asked.

Grandfather nodded and said: "If the Li family is not eliminated, it will be difficult to establish a foothold in Jinzhou. The Li family's home is in Xicheng County, and the two forts are in Xicheng County and Ankang County, each guarded by a thousand soldiers."

Wei Fufeng nodded. He knew this information. The Li family belonged to the hereditary Xicheng County Duke.

In fact, the Li family of the Tang Dynasty had many branches and had strong entrenched forces in and around Jingzhao Mansion, but they were scattered and unwilling to support the emperor.

Grandfather said again: "Fufeng, you led the troops to attack one of Li's forts, which shocked the official circles of Jinzhou and forced them to turn their attention outside the city."

"If you can't attack the city, you can only lure the snakes out of their holes and annihilate them. I'll let the troops pretend to be bandits and attack the town fort. The Li family in the county may send their own soldiers to help." Wei Fufeng said about his strategy. The losses in the siege battle were too great.

He can't bear it.

"If Mr. Li doesn't help, what should you do?

"Grandpa asked.

"The Li family has deep roots. It's not appropriate to target them first. It's better to capture the governor first, then use official power and military power to clean up the Li family in the city, and then capture the fortress soldiers outside." Wei Fufeng replied.

"We attacked the Li family in the city in a military encounter. It will be difficult to explain later. It will definitely cause shock in Chang'an. My grandfather wanted to weaken the Li family first." Grandfather worried that the blatant killing of the royal family would result in complete opposition to the imperial court.

"Grandfather, banditry is rampant in Jinzhou. The bandits robbed and killed the Li family and the county magistrate in the city. Later, my grandfather wrote a letter asking for the history of the governor of Jinzhou. Grandfather had nothing to do with what happened. As for future doubts, it is not the same as true evidence." Wei Fufeng

said.

Grandfather stroked his beard and nodded, indicating that he approved of Wei Fufeng's strategy.

...

Wei Fufeng left his grandfather to live in the hospital and went to greet his parents first. His parents' faces were obviously gloomy, but they were not directed at Wei Fufeng.

After the greetings, my mother complained: "Fufeng, my lord asked you to seek an official position, why didn't you tell your father first?"

"Grandpa won't let me tell you." Wei Fufeng prevaricated.

My mother was speechless, and Wei Fufeng said again: "Auntie, my grandfather has told us not to tell anyone about our trip to Jinzhou."

"Your father has said that going to Jinzhou is dangerous, so you should be careful on the way." Auntie said worriedly.

Wei Fufeng nodded and said: "My grandfather made this move because he had no choice but to find a way out. The Chinese businessman Jiedushi Han Jian needed to expand his army, and army expansion required a lot of financial resources. If my grandfather left Shangzhou without knowing the opportunity, he would definitely be found by Han Jian.

The house was confiscated because of the crime."

The aunt nodded, and Wei Fufeng said again: "My child is going to get ready."

"You go ahead." The aunt responded.

Wei Fufeng nodded and said goodbye, then asked: "Madam, is brother here?"

"Your brother went to Chang'an to study." The aunt replied.

Wei Fufeng nodded and left. He just asked and had no other meaning. He rarely met his legitimate brother on weekdays.

...

After Wei Fufeng left, Wei Xuan smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, I'm going to Jinzhou to serve as county magistrate. As long as I don't take care of anything, I will be safe."

"It's just that the child Fufeng finally came back, and now he has to take risks again." The aunt sighed softly.

"Everyone has his own destiny. Before, my father said that Fufeng is the most capable junior. My father doesn't like me, but he values ​​Fufeng so much." Wei Xuan said gently.

"Father values ​​Fufeng, that's a good thing." The aunt whispered.

Wei Xuan nodded and said: "It's time for me to do my best for the family. It would be nice if the days of being despised come to an end."

...

Wei Fufeng returned to his residence, saw Xiaoxue and Hu Hu, talked cordially with the two girls for a while, took some treasures and left Chang Shi's Mansion, met up with his subordinates and hurried back to Lantian County.

There were more than 900 Fufeng troops in Lantian County. Wei Fufeng first handed the treasure to Hubo's father and asked Hubo's father to send it to Mingyu.

Amber's father left for half a day, and then ordered Yihuo Pikemen to become ordinary civilians and go to Chang'an to join Mingyu.

After taking care of the family affairs, Wei Fufeng mobilized 600 troops and divided them into three parts from the ancient Ku Road to Jinzhou.

Leaving behind 300 pikemen, under the banner of the Fufeng Army garrison, he himself returned to Shangluo County with 30 bodyguards.

Leaving most of the guards to wait for orders in towns outside the county, Wei Fufeng took only two guards back to Shangluo County, and then returned to Chang Shi's Mansion alone to wait for departure.

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

This time when he went back, his mother nagged him for a long time, which made Wei Fufeng feel that family affection was even more valuable.

The journey started two days later. My grandfather prepared three cars and sent them out of the county. Wei Fufeng and his grandfather were in the same car.

After the car was driven away, my grandfather said gently: "My grandfather sent people to Chang'an to inquire. I heard that you have been appointed as the military governor of central Guizhou by the emperor."

Wei Fufeng was slightly startled and replied: "My grandson made a speech to the emperor, saying that Qianzhou was occupied by the remnants of Qin thieves, and asked southern Sichuan to send troops to exterminate the thieves. The emperor appointed grandson as the military governor of central Guizhou. In fact, it was just a false name. The emperor

The intention is nothing more than a means of alienation."

"Well said, the current Emperor Zhaozong lacks a broad mind for the country and a long-term vision. He is just a weak emperor who is good at playing power." Grandfather commented.

Wei Fufeng was slightly startled, and his grandfather continued: "Let's talk about the Xichuan rebellion. The emperor is very bad at employing people. The prime minister is the minister who governs the country, but he asked your uncle to lead the army to conquer the country. How can military affairs be entrusted to civilian officials?"

"The emperor was concerned about the rebellion of his military officials, such as Li Maozhen, the military governor of Fengxiang." Wei Fufeng retorted.

Grandfather nodded and said: "Learning from the past, I am biased in my thinking, or in my heart, I don't like your great-uncle going to Xichuan."

Wei Fufeng said: "Sun'er believes that the emperor's mistake was that he did not distinguish between right and wrong, and was unable to uphold justice, which caused great damage to the court's prestige.

For example, in the Xichuan incident, the emperor wanted to eradicate Chen Jingxuan, but he actually recognized Wang Jian's rebellion as legal. He planned to benefit from the conflict between the two tigers, but he forgot to seek the skin of the tiger and suffer the consequences."

Grandfather was slightly startled, nodded thoughtfully, and said: "The imperial court's repeated recognition of the legality of rebellion is indeed the biggest mistake. If it cannot be controlled, it is better to ignore it."

Wei Fufeng added: "For the same reason, the emperor's response to other vassal towns' crusade against Li Keyong will definitely chill the hearts of all the heroes in the world. Everyone knows that the emperor cannot be trusted."

Grandfather nodded and said: "Although your military governor in central Guizhou has an empty position, he is also a rare official with great justice and orthodoxy. Just like my grandfather's long history official position, in the eyes of ordinary people, he is a high-ranking official who can serve."

Wei Fufeng nodded, and his grandfather asked again: "Did you tell my uncle about the military envoy in southern Sichuan?"

"No, it's useless to say so." Wei Fufeng replied.

"Why is it useless? The southern Sichuan army supports your uncle, and your uncle may be able to get rid of the disadvantage." Grandfather said.

"When the Southern Sichuan Festival was first established, people's hearts were unstable. Sun'er once tried to lead 10,000 troops to Chengdu. When he arrived in Nanxi County, he found that the morale of the troops was low and hundreds of them fled. If he really went to Chengdu, there would be a mutiny and collapse of the army.

, we had to adapt and stop at Rongzhou."

Wei Fufeng replied that he did not want to take the initiative to admit that he was the military governor of southern Sichuan, and was pretending to be confused in order to reach a tacit understanding with his grandfather.

The grandfather nodded lightly, and Wei Fufeng continued: "Later, my grandson took ten guards to Chengdu. After learning about the situation in Chengdu, my grandson was glad that he did not lead the army there. My uncle's situation in Chengdu was too weak."

"Your uncle gained 10,000 troops, which may be able to reverse the disadvantage. After all, your uncle is the military commander of Xichuan." Grandfather said.

Wei Fufeng shook his head and said: "If ten thousand armored soldiers are capable of fighting, they may be able to compete with Wang Jian for supremacy, but ten thousand rabble-rousers are just delivering food to Wang Jian."

"Oh, you mean Wang Jian turned hostile?" Grandfather said suddenly.

"Wang Jian is the adopted son of Tian Lingzi. He can rebel against his adoptive father, and he can also rebel against his uncle. Wang Jian is brave and good at fighting. When he entered Xichuan, he only had three thousand troops. Chen Jingxuan, who fought with three thousand troops, retreated to Chengdu. Now Wang Jian has more troops

Wan, the general trend in Xichuan has been achieved." Wei Fufeng explained.
