Chapter 53 Fifth Uncle Wei Liang

Nearly a hundred vehicles and regiment training formed a winding team. Wei Fufeng and his fifth uncle walked in the front part. Both of them walked on foot, without taking a car or riding horses. Almost all the horses in Jinzhou were used to pull grain.

After the team stabilized, the fifth uncle spoke to Wei Fufeng and said, "This trip is a tough job."

Wei Fufeng smiled and said, "Jinzhou is three hundred miles away from Chang'an. Although it is difficult to travel, it will be there in ten days."

"It will not be reached for ten days. You can't get a grain truck on the Kugu Road. You can only walk around Wuguan Road for fifteen days. You just want peace on the way. If you can't get there in the day, you'd rather rest." said the fifth uncle.

Wei Fufeng was slightly stunned and said, "My nephew heard that his fifth uncle had been running away, and he was indeed an old man who traveled around the world."

"I won't run away, what is your second uncle selling?" said the fifth uncle casually.

"It turns out that the salt goods sold by the second uncle were trafficked by the fifth uncle." Wei Fufeng said.

"Well, you boy is better than me." said the fifth uncle.

Wei Fufeng smiled and said, "Boy dares not regard himself as better than his fifth uncle."

"Facts are facts. Your fifth uncle is not that fake. Your fifth uncle knows that you have seized the Jinzhou. I know the adult's family. I can't do big things, but just enjoy the success." said the fifth uncle.

"Fifth uncle is honest and let his grandfather know that it is not good." Wei Fufeng advised.

"I dare to speak out to you. My fifth uncle is struggling and struggling outside. If he is confused, he would have died." said the fifth uncle.

Wei Fufeng felt a good impression when he heard this, and subconsciously looked at him. Uncle Wu was burly, with thin cheeks, a slightly messy beard and hair, and his big hands were as blue as a shiny veins. His whole body was full of vicissitudes and was vigorous.

"You boy don't have to look at it, the fifth uncle looks carelessly." The fifth uncle said mockingly.

Wei Fufeng smiled, but his fifth uncle turned his head and asked, "Tell me, what official did your uncle give you?"

Wei Fufeng was speechless when he heard this, and felt helpless for a moment, and joked casually: "Does the fifth uncle believe me if the Jiedushi stays in the queen?"

The fifth uncle was stunned and looked at Wei Fufeng, then nodded and said, "I believe that you, you, you, seize the Jinzhou and plan step by step, are a genius with great ability."

Wei Fufeng was speechless and had to say, "Fifth uncle must not talk about his nephew's affairs anymore. Grandfather hoped that his nephew was a surprise soldier."

"Shock? What does it mean?" asked the fifth uncle.

"It is to be able to reinforce the military force unexpectedly. The enemy can clearly understand the military force of my grandfather in Jinzhou. Once I attack Jinzhou, the number of military force will generally be twice as high. As a surprise soldier, my nephew can attack the enemy at any time and destroy the invading enemy with the Jinzhou army." Wei Fufeng explained.

The fifth uncle nodded and said, "You are very sinister, this is similar to your grandfather."

Wei Fufeng was speechless. What did he say? He heard the fifth uncle say: "I won't talk about your affairs anymore, so I won't be able to avoid bad things."

Wei Fufeng nodded and said, "Where is the salt product of the fifth uncle from?"

"It mainly comes from the salt pond in Hezhongfu, and I also went to the Yun'an salt pond in Kuizhou. The sea salt in the east cannot be transported." The fifth uncle replied.

Wei Fufeng was so gentle, and his fifth uncle said again: "The use of salt in Jinzhou can only be obtained from Kuizhou. Only with salt and food can we retain more people. If there are many people, the power will be stronger."

Wei Fufeng nodded in recognition. Luzhou is a border area. If it weren't for the cruel wars in the mainland, it would have been impossible for more than 200,000 Han people. His biggest worry was the return of the population to his hometown.

As long as the war is quelled, the fields in Luzhou are very attractive to the people of Kexiang, and Kexiang will be concerned about the land in their hometown.

Time,

It takes time to settle down to make the people of Kexiang feel reluctant to leave the fields in Luzhou. Therefore, the rule in southern Sichuan also requires the spread of false information and the rumors of various wars.

Wei Fufeng was a little distracted and heard his fifth uncle say, "Boy, do you know what else does the fifth uncle have to go to Chang'an?"

Wei Fufeng turned his head, thought for a while, and said, "See the Emperor?"

"No, when I see the sect leader, I asked me to see the sect leader and asked the sect leader to allow us to spread our branches and become the Wei family in Jinzhou. Do you think I'm going to be scolded?" The fifth uncle said in a depressed tone.

"My grandfather mentioned what my fifth uncle said to me. My nephew thought it was a matter of benefit. If the sect leader was a wise person, he should be willing." Wei Fufeng replied.

"The problem is that the one from Chang'an is hard to talk to." Uncle fifth said helplessly.

Wei Fufeng comforted: "At most I'll be scolded."

The fifth uncle nodded and suddenly said, "The most difficult thing to convince your uncle is your uncle, which is actually the business of two families."

Wei Fufeng nodded clearly. Wei Zhaodu was his elder brother, and his official career was definitely inseparable from Wei's support.

However, the grandfather’s meaning was very clear. He wanted to become the founder of the Wei family in Jinzhou. If Wei Zhaodu was unwilling, his brother would probably be split.

......

In the Daming Palace and Yanying Palace, Zhaozong looked at the letter from the Governor of Jinzhou in surprise.

The book said that the county duke's government gathered a thousand troops from the town fort outside the city, and the troops were sent to the county town and surrendered by the city gate regiment.

After entering the city, the regiment trained troops and turned against each other. The traitors fled when they heard the news. They fled from the northern city gate with nearly a hundred subordinates, but disappeared. The Jinzhou Governor Da Yin was taken away by the thief and asked the court to make a separate seal.

In addition, the county Duke's Office cut off the inheritance incense and asked Your Majesty to choose the lord's clan to inherit the land of the Jinzhou Duke's Office. He also knew that Your Majesty was trying to rebel against Li Keyong, so he called 3,000 stones of grain from the state treasury to send it to Chang'an.

"I was able to expel the thief and seize the Jinzhou." Zhaozong was very surprised, but the statement in the letter was reasonable. The thief massacred the county duke's mansion, and naturally he was defeated by the Jinzhou regiment training.

"Well, it is said that there was a major disaster in Jinzhou, and the new governor was able to contribute food to the court instead of expanding the army and accumulating power. Wei Qing's younger brother was indeed a loyal minister." Zhaozong thought for sure.

Suddenly he got up and walked around, thinking happily: "The Jinzhou has the control of loyal ministers, which is a good omen. If I have foreign aid forces, Yang Fugong may not tolerate the change of ownership of Jinzhou. Will he instruct Hanzhong's army to attack Jinzhou privately?"

Zhaozong fell into deep thought. Based on the so-called letters from Wei Xuan, he determined that the thousands of troops who had entered the county duke's mansion must have come from Hanzhong.

Therefore, Zhaozong was extremely angry, and it can also be said that he was afraid of Yang Fugong's boldness and arrogance. In order to control local forces, he actually attacked the royal family.

After thinking hard for a long time, Zhaozong shook his head helplessly. He wanted to remove Yang Fugong's power in Yangzhou (Wuding Jiedushi), but he was worried that Yang Fugong would be retaliated against. Yang Fugong held the power of Shen Ce Army and could kill the king and establish a new position.

.........

Thirteen days later, the grain truck walked through Lantian Pass and entered the boundary of Jingzhao Prefecture.

Wei Fufeng took one hundred spearmen and left to Lantian County. Lu Tao led his army to continue to assist his fifth uncle until he arrived in Chang'an and handed it over to the Ministry of Revenue. He left Chang'an and returned to Lantian County.

When the fifth uncle handed over the food, he was told that the emperor would summon him and went to Yanying Palace to meet Zhaozong.

Zhaozong praised the governor of Jinzhou for his contributions, and his father and son were loyal and righteous. He gave his fifth uncle the fourth rank and the upper-ranking general Zhongwu, and his title was Shiquan Bo and his position as the envoy of Jincheng Army.

......

Wei Fufeng returned to Lantian County, rested for three days and handled military affairs and information, which means that Chang'an is still preparing for war.

Three days later, Wei Fufeng left Lantian County and went to Chang'an City, entered the city through Yanxingmen, and then entered Xinchangfang.

Arriving outside Li Yi's mansion, he asked the servant to report directly to Shisi Niang and take Shisi Niang and Mingyu to visit Qujiangchi.

After a while, Mingyu walked out alone, walked quickly to Wei Fufeng in surprise, and called happily: "Young Master."

Wei Fufeng smiled and nodded, asking, "How are you in Li's Mansion?"

"I'm fine. Miss Fourteenth Lady's mother intends to arrange for me to do foreign affairs so as not to cause trouble." Ming Yu whispered.

Wei Fufeng was slightly stunned and nodded. The officials and families had many rules in their inner houses and their hearts were complicated. Mingyu might be instructed by some heroines at the inner houses, so it would be better to avoid them.

"Young Master, Miss Fourteenth is going to ask your wife for leave." Ming Yu explained.

Wei Fufeng nodded and asked, "Have you gone out these days?"

"No, although the young master has given orders, it is better for me to keep my duty in Li's house." Ming Yu said softly.

Wei Fufeng nodded, and Mingyu said carelessly: "Young Master, are you doing these days?"

"I'm training the army in Lantian County." Wei Fufeng replied with a smile.

"When will the young master go to the battle?" Ming Yu asked whispered, his beautiful eyes staring at him with concern.

"In another half a month, don't worry, I won't have any trouble. I will withdraw my troops when I see the situation is not good." Wei Fufeng comforted him.

"Will the young master withdraw his troops be punished by the court?" Ming Yu said worriedly. In her concept, the court is still heaven and cannot be violated.

"The Fufeng Army is my private army, not the military power supported by the court. I just help the court to fight rebellion and will not be controlled by the court. If I had not been a concubine and needed Fufeng Hou Xiangui, how could I go to Hedong?" Wei Fufeng explained calmly.

Mingyu nodded, and Wei Fufeng smiled again, "I am here this time, first, to visit Qujiangchi with you, and second, to buy a house."

Mingyu nodded a little shyly. At this time, a servant walked out of the mansion gate and looked at Wei Fufeng and walked down the steps. The girl respectfully said: "I have seen Mr. Wei."

Wei Fufeng nodded lightly, and the servant said respectfully: "Madam, let me pass on the message. If you have not married a daughter, it is not advisable to travel with Mr. Wei. Please go back."

Wei Fufeng was surprised when he heard this. As far as he knew, it was common for aristocratic young girls to go out together. He immediately thought that his wife, who was looking for father-in-law, was deliberately making things difficult for him, and felt unhappy in her heart.

"You go and tell your wife that I am about to go to Hedong. Traveling with my fiancée once is not considered a transcendence of etiquette. Please be kind to your wife." Wei Fufeng said coldly.

The servant responded and turned around and waited patiently for a while. Wei Fufeng saw the Fourteenth Lady walk out of the mansion. He looked at the little lady with a smile. The pretty girl was still in the outfit she had when she first met him.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time." The fourteenth lady said in a naive manner.

"It's good that you can come out." Wei Fufeng said gently.

"Well, thanks to my sister who said good things," Sisi Niang whispered.

"Sister?" Wei Fufeng was surprised.

"My sister, Jiuniang, the lady seemed angry when she heard the maid's reply. The sister was persuaded by her, and the lady allowed me to come out." The fourteenth lady explained.

Wei Fufeng nodded, no longer asked, turned his head and told his subordinates to rent a few cars, and then he called Shisi Niang and Mingyu to walk. When his subordinates got three carriages, a group of thirteen people took the car to Qujiangchi in Chang'an City.
