While thinking, Hu Hu's father in the cabin called for dinner. Wei Fufeng got up and went into the cabin to eat with the guards. The four girls he brought with him were on another boat.

While in the army, Wei Fufeng tried his best to be self-disciplined and took the time to get closer to the soldiers.

The boat sailed slowly up the river, and after four days of walking, it arrived in Fuzhou smoothly. Wei Fufeng was secretly relieved. He was worried about being interrogated along the way, but he never encountered any obstruction.

The main reason is that one is to live in peace, and the other is that if there is a conflict in the river, everyone will face the danger of capsizing.

After arriving in Fuzhou, Wei Fufeng entered Fuling County still hidden, and first went to the Military Mansion to meet with officials from the Fuzhou Military Mansion.

After Zhao Yidou heard the report, the Jiedushi Master arrived outside the mansion and hurried out to greet him.

When they met, the soldiers who came out to greet him respectfully paid homage to Wei Fufeng.

Wei Fufeng helped Zhao Yidou up and gently tapped Zhao Yidou's left shoulder. The two looked at each other with emotion. Zhao Yidou turned sideways and asked Wei Fufeng to come in.

Wei Fufeng, who had already changed into a purple robe and jade belt, walked into the Fuzhou Military Mansion without hesitation.

Entering the military mansion, he issued a military order to the military governor of Fuzhou and asked officials from the Fuzhou Military Mansion to come to see him. Zhao Yidou had no power to summon the officers of the military mansion.

It was impossible for many people to sit in the hall. Wei Fufeng was sitting outside the hall door, and there were many various seats on both sides of the hall.

Behind Wei Fufeng, Amber's father, wearing heavy armor, stood as eye-catching as an iron tower.

Officials who entered the palace first walked to Wei Fufeng to sign up for the ceremony, and were then led by the temporary ceremony officer to sit down at a suitable location.

Because the war ended not long ago, Baotao Camp and Fengli Camp stayed in Fuzhou in order to prepare for the enemy's counterattack.

Looking at the hundreds of civil and military officials gathered in one courtyard, Wei Fufeng said calmly: "Today is the military affairs office, so there is no need for local officials to participate."

After a pause, Wei Fufeng continued: "My army is in Jinzhou. I was very happy when I heard about the victory of the Southern Sichuan Army. I feel that the months of hard work with the soldiers have been wasted."

After a pause, Wei Fufeng continued: "You may know that our army cooperated with the family to capture Jinzhou. Why we captured Jinzhou was so that the Sichuan Southern Army could survive forever. Jinzhou is adjacent to Xingyuan Prefecture, so we captured Jinzhou.

Jinzhou is equivalent to putting a sharp knife on the back of Xingyuan Mansion."

"Now Jinzhou has 10,000 troops not counting the Fufeng Army, of which 3,000 Jincheng Army's combat power is not inferior to that of Baotao Camp."

"The biggest gain of our army was during the trip to Hedong. The privy envoy Yang Fugong was at odds with the Hedong rebel envoy. Yang Fugong repeatedly blocked the delivery of military rations, resulting in the Hedong rebel army having to eat gruel every day."

"Our army lobbied the requisition envoy Zhang Jun, and asked him to petition His Majesty the Emperor to return five thousand troops to Chang'an City, depriving Yang Fugong of his power to operate military supplies, and deposing the lieutenant of the Shence Army, causing Yang Shouliang to lose his

Become a backer in the imperial court."

All the officials listened with astonished expressions. Many people did not understand, but they did not dare to whisper to each other when Jiedushi was speaking, and they behaved impolitely.

Those who understood understood what Jiedushi meant, which was to tell everyone that he was not hiding out for leisure.

Wei Fufeng continued: "The current situation and the military strength of Jinzhou have restrained Yang Shouliang from going south with heavy troops. However, Yang Shouliang has 80,000 troops in Xingyuan Mansion. He may be forced to send his army south again. We cannot slack off.

.”

"Sir, why did Yang Shouliang have no choice but to send his army southward again?" Zhao Yidou saluted and asked.

After hearing this, Wei Fufeng secretly praised Zhao Yidou for his righteousness and knew how to support him at the critical moment.

He replied: "Yang Fugong was dismissed from his post by His Majesty the Emperor. His Majesty the Emperor's next steps will definitely reduce Yang Fugong's external influence step by step. Yang Shouliang of Shannan West Road, Longjian Jiedushi Yang Shouzhen, and Wuding Jiedushi Yang Shohou will all face

The consequences of being dismissed from office, so Yang Shouliang must seize Bashu as soon as possible, and then defend Bashu against the imperial court."

Zhao Yidou nodded cooperatively and said: "So, Shannan West Road Jiedushi will change hands soon."

Wei Fufeng nodded and said: "If the Hedong uprising had not been defeated, His Majesty the Emperor would have been worried that it would be difficult to cope with the war on the north and south fronts, so he would have to postpone the removal of Yang Shouliang's official position."

Zhao Yidou nodded, Wei Fufeng turned around and shouted: "Wang Ze."

"My subordinates are here." Wang Ze, the military commander, stood up and performed a military salute.

Wei Fufeng looked at Wang Ze and said: "Our army thought that the 50,000 enemy troops were moving south, and the Fuzhou defense would face a long and hard battle. It was you who reported the military situation to the commander in time, supplemented by suggestions, so that the Southern Sichuan Army could seize the opportunity.

With this God-given opportunity, our army has promoted Wang Ze to the rank of commander, please take a seat."

"I would like to thank you for your use." Wang Ze responded respectfully, turned around and sat down at the bottom of Ganfengchi.

Wei Fufeng said seriously again: "Everyone, your merits are recorded in the Governor's Mansion. With your current status, all you want is for the Duke to pass on to the world. Based on the accumulated merits, our army will gradually repay your merits and benefit your parents and children.

.”

Officials on both sides nodded. It was good to be able to become a hereditary prince. After all, Jiedushi and the title of king were out of reach and not so easy to obtain.

Wei Fufeng stood up, clasped his hands behind his back, and said calmly: "The commander and the field envoy are here to talk. Please return to your duties."

The civil and military officials stood up, paid their respects, and then left the military compound in an orderly manner.

Four commanders and four camp envoys were left behind, and they went to the hall to talk.

Seated down separately, Zhao Yidou smiled and said: "Sir, I heard from my brothers who have returned, how good Chang'an City is. I don't know when my subordinates will be able to join the Fufeng Army. Let's go to Pingkangfang to see it."

Wei Fufeng was slightly startled, then smiled and said: "If you want to go, let's talk about it next year. It's okay to go out for a walk. You can see a lot of magnificence and rare pleasures in your life."

Zhao Yidou nodded, and Gan Fengchi said: "My subordinate's trip to Hedong is self-conscious, and the city of Chang'an is indeed majestic. It is a pity that the glory of Tian Khan has been lost."

Wei Fufeng nodded, and then said calmly: "Do you have any suggestions?"

The eight civil and military officials looked at each other, and it was Gan Fengchi who said: "I would like to ask, do you have the intention to expand eastward? If the Three Gorges waterway is opened, it will be able to echo the beginning and end of Jinzhou."

Wei Fufeng replied: "Our army has also thought about seizing the Three Gorges, but it is not timely. Kuizhou is the lifeblood of Jingnan Jiedushi. Previously, Yang Shouliang had captured Kuizhou, but Cheng Ru fought hard to take it back.

"

Gan Fengchi nodded, and Wei Fufeng added: "If we advance towards the Three Gorges, it will also cause the defense line to be narrow and weak, and it will also undermine the great justice entrusted by the imperial court. What we have to do now is to strengthen our foundation. If Jinzhou needs support, Jingnan Jiedu

So that the offender cannot be intercepted."

The officials nodded, and Wei Fufeng said again: "There are two strategies to consolidate the foundation. One is to build stronger defenses and build military forts outside Fuzhou, Changzhou and Rongzhou; the other is to develop towards the Middle Guizhou Road, and the army

With coercion and gentleness, the Liao people were forced to surrender, and the warriors of the Liao people were drawn out to form an army."

Zhao Yidou nodded and said: "I heard that Qianzhou has accepted the submission of several familiar Liao prefectures. The Liao people need salt, cloth and porcelain, and we need medicinal materials and a lot of mountain products."

Wei Fufeng nodded. Zhang Wencheng, the governor of Guizhou Province, was capable of both civil and military affairs. He had served as a military envoy before and was used by Wei Fufeng to capture Lu County.

Lu Qing, the commander of the Qianzhou Military Mansion, had already given instructions on the strategy for dealing with the Liao tribe. It seems that Zhang Wencheng's actions have yielded results.

Continuing to speak, Gan Fengchi suggested that the General Military Office be moved to Ba County, Yuzhou, so that Yuzhou could become the military and political center of southern Sichuan.

Yuzhou is geographically in the middle, adjacent to the Central Guizhou Road, and at the intersection of water and land. It has been a land of humanities since ancient times.

After the words were spoken and the commander and field envoy left, Wei Fufeng left the military mansion and went to the Governor's Yamen.

Zhao Yidou sent people to catch up and asked where he could rest. In addition, Wei Fufeng had previously spoken outside the hall and asked if there was any need for documents to be sent to the various armies.

Wei Fufeng said that he would rest at the Governor's Yamen. As for the conversation, he should send it to the Governor's Mansion in the form of an official document for military record, and there should be no publicity in passing the letter.

Wei Fufeng was satisfied with Zhao Yidou's ability, but he would not promote him if he was satisfied. The commander was currently the highest military position, and he did not want to serve as the deputy envoy of Jiedu. The governor's office was already equivalent to the deputy envoy of Jiedu.

In addition, Zhao Yidou's ability to become a commander was an exceptional promotion. Many officials and military generals were promoted under exceptional circumstances, that is, they were appointed in a hurry. Being qualified is equivalent to making up for the two words of being exceptional. If they are not qualified, they will be dismissed and demoted.

Wei Fufeng arrived at the state government office not far away and saw his father-in-law-to-be, dressed in red official clothes, greeting him at the door.

Wei Fufeng walked outside the mansion and first accepted the greetings from his prospective father-in-law. Then he respectfully called his uncle in return, and then they entered the dilapidated state government office together.

Walking into the main hall of the back house, Wei Fufeng saw a beauty in a skirt. The fourteenth mother and the beauty were standing together. On the back right side were Mingyu, Hubo and Xiaoxue, as well as four slaves.

Before Wei Fufeng left, he saluted the beauty in the skirt and said, "I have seen my aunt. She is well."

"You're welcome, Mr. Wei, please sit down." The beauty in the undershirt returned the courtesy, her beautiful eyes showing joy.

Wei Fufeng nodded, turned around and took the main seat a few tables away from his father-in-law-to-be.

The fourteenth mother came over and asked softly: "Mr. Lang, are you hungry? The rice in the bamboo tube is delicious."

Wei Fufeng smiled and said gently: "I'm talking to my uncle. You can just bring me tea. Let's go eat bamboo rice while we're talking."

The fourteenth mother nodded lightly, turned and walked away.

Li Ji waved his hand, and the mother of the fourteenth mother silently led the others out of the main hall. Hu Bo's father also walked out to talk to his daughter outside.

Amber is dressed in goose-yellow clothes and has a tall figure. Her complexion is smooth and plump because of the lack of food. Her whole person is delicate and elegant, and she is a little beauty.

Amber's father was wearing heavy armor, and the countless impact marks on the armor seemed to exude a terrifying murderous aura and the smell of blood.

But Amber's father's eyes looked down at his daughter lovingly.

In the main hall, Wei Fufeng was discussing business with his father-in-law-to-be. He entrusted his father-in-law to do it for him. He went to Yuzhou to visit wealthy families and wealthy households door-to-door, and delivered official documents from the Ministry of Personnel and official documents regarding hereditary military positions in southern Sichuan.

After hearing this, Li Ji said: "You can't eliminate the resentment of those wealthy families even if you do this. Yuzhou has not only taken away their fields, soldiers, but also food."

"Fufeng did this just to get some relief, mainly to restore the reputation of treating some wealthy families well. Yuzhou did nothing wrong. The Southern Sichuan Army needed to eliminate internal troubles and expand its armaments. The only mistake was that it should not have killed the governor." Wei Fufeng

explained.
