Chapter 490 The Old and Strong Wei Zhuang(1/2)
Wei Fufeng and Du Ling walked down the city wall one after another and walked around.
Du Ling said: "Mr. Chu is young and wise. My granddaughter is more willing to give Master Chu a concubine."
"I feel wronged to be a concubine for me." Wei Fufeng responded.
"It's a pity that the prince is in charge of the general and proposes that his seventh son marry his granddaughter. The army refuses politely and says he is willing to be a concubine for the prince. The prince will not say much." Du Ling said with emotion.
Wei Fufeng was surprised and said, "Qian Liu's seventh son, I heard that he was outstanding."
Du Ling said: "The concubine's son will be outsmarted by the new master. At the least, he will be suppressed and idle, and at the worst, he will be killed."
Wei Fufeng nodded in agreement. Unless the legitimate son is really unable to bear the heavy responsibility, it is not the turn of the concubine son to inherit the throne.
Qian Liu has many legitimate sons, and the eldest son Qian Chuanying is not mediocre.
The two walked to the hall to discuss military dispatch and consider the content of the military orders in order to stabilize the city and appease the soldiers and generals in the outside town.
As long as there is no rebellion, a subtle wait-and-see situation can be formed.
The reason is simple. The generals who shoot out the head of the gun and hold the troops cannot fight against too many Hangzhou troops. They dare not act rashly before they know the other generals' ideas.
After discussion, they each had their own rest. Only then did Wei Fufeng have time to go to the prison cell, but he did not instruct his subordinates to rescue Yu He.
Wei Fufeng walked into the dark cell and saw Yuhe with a disheveled face.
Yu He held the wooden fence and stared at it in disbelief. The prison soldiers opened the prison door. Yu He stumbled out and pounced on Wei Fufeng.
"Master, I'm wrong." Yuhe cried, her body slid down, and she wanted to kneel down. She just lost her freedom and had good food.
Wei Fufeng hugged him and said gently: "You are not wrong. If you want a life you hope for, you will have to gamble your life."
"I lost the bet and will be the master's woman in the future." Yuhe whispered gently, feeling relieved and light joy.
Wei Fufeng picked her up, turned around and walked out, and walked to where he first lived, putting down the jade lotus.
Yuhe ran to the house, eager to take a bath and restore her beautiful image.
Wei Fufeng smiled and turned around and stood looking down at the inner city wall. The soldiers stood responsible on the wall, showing the strict guards and the numerous military forces.
Qian Liu's death will inevitably arouse the ambitions of many military generals. The Badu soldiers in Hangzhou are characterized by local groups.
Qian Liu used his victory prestige to overwhelm other local military generals.
Qian Liu and Yang Xingmi were similar to that of Yang Xingmi. They failed to deprive the military generals of the Shantou Army, and it took time to gradually cut off the centralized power.
Qian Liu's great cause is still in its early stages and cannot seize the military power of the army.
For example, Du Ling and Xu Wan each have their own soldiers. If Xu Wan does not go to the battle, Qian Liu will not be able to transfer Xu Wan's troops.
Du Ling was the same. His son led the army, so he was willing to dispatch the Dong'an army and would never leave it to outsiders to command the Dong'an army.
Qian Liu used his military achievements to differentiate the Eight Capitals of Hangzhou in recent years. The original eight capitals were divided into dozens, similar to the order of Emperor Wu of Han to express his grace.
At the same time, we also cultivated our confidant commander and formed the Qian army, and eventually dominated the entire family, making Hangzhou's eight-du military system completely history.
Wei Fufeng turned around and walked, sat in the yard to rest, and there were ten guards outside the yard gate.
The family general Zhang Yun and Wei Fufeng stayed at the head of Fengshan Gate in the outer city.
There are also beacons at Fengshan Gate. If the beacon fire starts, Wei Fufeng must send troops to rescue him and must not lose control of Fengshan Gate.
In addition, the inner city stores 100,000 stones of grain, near the outer city schoolyard, warehousing 2

Hundreds of thousands of stones of military ration.
The Huainan army is really at the city, and Hangzhou City has the foundation for a protracted war.
Wei Fufeng suddenly remembered Qiantang County Magistrate. The county magistrate has a small official position, but it is a crucial ruling of the grassroots and must be controlled by his own people.
There is no suitable person in the army, so he can only transfer a capable civil servant from southern Sichuan.
Wei Fufeng searched one by one, thinking about it and shook his head. The capable official was reluctant to bring Hangzhou to "send his death".
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed, and Wei Fufeng remembered someone, Wei Zhuang!
Wei Fufeng once heard that the head of the Wei family in Jiangning talked about Wei Zhuang.
Wei Zhuang was very talented, but he failed the exam repeatedly and fought repeatedly. He finally passed the Jinshi exam in the first year of Ganning (894) of Emperor Zhaozong of Tang Dynasty.
Wei Fufeng heard of it at that time, but he didn't agree with it. The court was in a turmoil and stubborn manner and was still obsessed with the exam for the Jinshi.
The reason why Wei Fufeng remembered Wei Zhuang was because in the third year of Zhonghe (883), Wei Zhuang served as the subordinate of Zhou Bao, the governor of Zhenhai Army, which was recognized by Zhou Bao, the legality of the Eight Du Soldiers in Hangzhou.
In other words, Wei Zhuang may know Qian Liu and Du Ling. Wei Zhuang has the foundation to be an official in Hangzhou, although he is not a formal official of the court.
Wei Fufeng decided to invite Wei Zhuang to Hangzhou to serve as the magistrate of Qiantang County. It is not easy for the elderly to realize their long-cherished wish of becoming an official, and it is worth it to fly into the flames.
Without further ado, Wei Fufeng went to find the four treasures of the study and wrote a letter, and ordered the scout who had come to see Tian Wei, and handed it to the letter, and ordered the scout to go to Chang'an to find Wei Zhuang.
Wei Fufeng said, if you can't find Wei Zhuang when you go back, you can give up and go back to Ezhou to serve as a military envoy.
The scout was happy, collected the letter and left, got a horse in the inner city, received the travel expenses, left and went out to Fengshan Gate, and rushed all the way to the open-air place, and arrived in Chang'an in more than ten days.
The Wei clan of Chang'an found Weizhuang on the day of his arrival. When he saw that the old man was poor and wearing patched clothes.
It turned out that Wei Zhuang passed the Jinshi, was appointed as an official essayist, and was a ninth-rank Xuguan. Wei Zhuang also went to Chengdu and met Li Xuerou.
Li Xuerou treated her respectfully, and she was good at food and accommodation, but she didn't say she was given an official position.
Wei Zhuang also has the backbone and is unwilling to eat for nothing. He left without saying goodbye and returned to Chang'an to live a hard life.
Not long ago, the court routinely promoted Wei Zhuang to a symbolic promotion, becoming a consolation prize from the seventh rank, which was like a consolation prize to make you play with.
Wei Zhuang took the wrinkled letter and looked at the uninvited guest in confusion.
The scout had a disheveled head and a dirty face, and was covered in cracked clothes, like a refugee beggar.
Open the letter: "My uncle, the magistrate of Qiantang County, Hangzhou, is waiting for his position to be empty, but he is willing to work hard and do something without being named."
Wei Zhuang looked at the scout and asked, and the scout talked about what happened in Hangzhou.
After hearing this, Wei Zhuang asked the scout to rest. He went out to find a relationship and obtained the official document of the Ministry of Personnel to be appointed as the magistrate of Qiantang County.
The next day, Wei Zhuangsuo borrowed the remaining travel expenses and horses from the scouts, and was still strong and left Chang'an alone, and rushed to Hangzhou to take office.
......
When the scout left, Wei Fufeng continued to calculate that the Hangzhou army in eastern Zhejiang would be restrained by Ma Yin, and Gu Quanwu was loyal to Qian Liu and might be able to accept the military orders of the new county prince.
The 15,000 Hangzhou troops who set out to fight Huzhou left Hangzhou City this morning. At noon, we walked about twenty or thirty miles away. The fast horses in the city reported the news, and it would take noon for the army to return.
At that time, the new king's army will respond and order to continue to go out to leave.
The leading deputy commander Cheng Ji, who is old and has a high status, may disobey the new king's order and arrive at the inner city.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Find out.
There is also Suzhou Governor Cao Guiquan, who is also a confidant general of Qian Liu. He has commanded 30,000 troops and local Suzhou regiment training and is able to recruit 100,000 troops.
However, the governor of Suzhou may not be able to lead all his troops to Hangzhou. People are unable to align themselves, and some generals and officials are unwilling to disobey the new master's military orders.
In addition, when facing foreign enemies, Suzhou must guard against the invasion of Changzhou soldiers and dare not be empty.
Changzhou? Wei Fufeng subconsciously worried that he did not know whether Gao Yan sent troops to capture Changzhou.
......
In the Jinling County of Changzhou, only two thousand troops remained in the guarding city, and two thousand troops stationed in Wuxi County to the south, trying to stop the Suzhou army's spy.
In fact, Li Yu could not hide his troops from Suzhou for long. His troops from Huzhou did not really open up Huzhou to attack Hangzhou.
Li Yu’s mission is to attract the military strength of Hangzhou, and Tian Wei is the real attack on Hangzhou.
Li Yu's time difference in the fight, and the military operations of the enemy troops in Jiangning were lagging behind.
......
Gao Yan's army was 8,000, and "borrowed" Li Wanqiu's army of 4,000.
From the day Lin Qingxue arrived, Gao Yan began to conquer Changzhou and successively sent 300 soldiers to mingle into Jinling County.
Jinling County is located on the banks of the Grand Canal, with a large number of migrant populations. As for the population from Runzhou in the north, I asked, and I would put it in the city after paying the money.
Gao Yan knew that the Changzhou soldiers had entered Huzhou and decisively sent troops to attack the Jinling County of Changzhou. After arriving, he rewarded and encouraged them. The army bravely launched a siege.
With the inside and outside cooperation, the city was broken in two hours, Gao Yan restrained his soldiers and strictly disciplined the military and did not harm the city, and opened Changzhou warehouses to reward the military.
At the same time, he asked someone to quickly report to Feng Hongduo and asked Feng Hongduo to send troops to take over.
......
Wei Fufeng was worried about the Changzhou war and was planning to make up for it.
After a moment of thinking, Wei Fufeng considered using Suzhou's military power to support Gao Yan in the counterattack of the Huainan army, of course, the premise was to know that Gao Yan had captured Changzhou.
"I'll go to Suzhou in person?" Wei Fufeng weighed the pros and cons, he was worried about the war in Changzhou and the safety of Lin Qingxue.
Wei Fufeng was determined to use the New King's envoy and took the New King's military order to meet the Suzhou governor. Although he was risking his life, he was also in great danger of staying in Hangzhou.
Wei Fufeng ordered a military defender in the inner city to get to know the governor of Suzhou.
