Chapter 79
Six days later, the Jincheng Army arrived near the Fufeng Army's station. Uncle Wu, without telling his subordinates, came with only 200 soldiers to see Wei Fufeng.
After the uncle and nephew communicated, two hundred soldiers and the Fufeng Army set off for the Xicheng County military camp. When they arrived, the soldiers guarded the gate of the camp to protect Li Daitao's military secrets.
Subsequently, three thousand Jincheng troops stationed at the Fufeng Army station.
Wei Fufeng did not meet Jinchengjun and hid in a private courtyard waiting for Lin Qingxue. Uncle Wu allowed Lin Hu to come over alone to meet him.
After Lin Hu arrived, Wei Fufeng explained on behalf of his fifth uncle, and then the conversation between the two of them turned to Junzhou.
Wei Fufeng brought a sketch of a Taoist temple ink painting. He had nothing to do recently and drew it based on Lin Qingxue's description of the mountain.
Looking at the towering mountain gate, the overhanging eaves and the ink-painted buildings stacked up against the mountain, Lin Hu's first comment was: "Brother-in-law, are you building a Taoist temple?"
"Why not?" Wei Fufeng laughed.
Lin Hu shook his head and said: "If it is built according to the painting, it may be similar to the palace in Chang'an City. How much money will it cost?"
Wei Fufeng was slightly startled, then nodded. He admitted that the ink painting style had the shadow of the Daming Palace, and said: "It can be built step by step, and it will take more than ten years to complete."
"My brother-in-law said this, maybe he wants to conquer Junzhou." Lin Hu said in an expectant tone.
"Entering Junzhou is not easy. At present, our biggest enemy is Hanzhong Yang Shouliang." Wei Fufeng replied.
Lin Hu nodded, but then said: "Jinzhou has to be on guard against Junzhou. The governor of Junzhou is an ambitious man."
"Oh, why are you such an ambitious person?" Wei Fufeng asked sensitively.
Lin Hu said: "Feng Xingxi, the governor of Junzhou, was originally a general in Junzhou. Nine years ago, thousands of rebels from Fangzhou came north to invade Junzhou. Feng Xingxi took the initiative to surrender, attacked and killed the leader of the rebel army, controlled Junzhou's military power, and sidelined the governor.
"Afterwards, he was recognized as the governor of Junzhou by Liu Jurong, the former governor of Shannan East Road."
"Later, Liu Jurong was defeated by Qin Zongquan's subordinate Zhao Kuangyan and fled. The cannibal king Qin Zongquan was destroyed by the imperial court. Zhao Kuangyan surrendered to the imperial court and became the military governor of Shannan East Road, that is, the military governor of the Loyalty Army. So Feng, the governor of Junzhou
After marching on the attack, they bowed their heads and paid tribute to the loyal military governor."
Wei Fufeng looked solemn after hearing this and asked: "So, the governor of Junzhou and the governor of the Zhongyi Army are only subordinate on the surface, but in fact they are independent of each other."
Lin Hu nodded and said: "Junzhou belongs to Feng Xingxi. It is said that the only states that the Zhongyi Army can control are Dengzhou and Xiangzhou. The populations of those two states are larger than Junzhou, but Feng Xingxi is fierce and good at fighting. In Junzhou
He has an army of ten thousand and is in alliance with the governor of Fangzhou."
Wei Fufeng frowned and thought to himself: "I told my grandfather about my intention to invade Junzhou, but my grandfather couldn't remember to tell me such important information."
I heard Lin Hu say again: "Feng Xingxi needed to support the army in Junzhou. It is said that he had to pay tribute to the Jiedushi. The excessive levies and miscellaneous taxes were overwhelming. Many people could not survive and fled into the Wudang Mountains. There were nearly ten thousand hardships in the mountains."
Haha, many have been destroyed by Feng Xingxing in recent years."
Wei Fufeng nodded. He knew that his previous judgment was wrong. He originally thought that the Zhongyi Army controlled Junzhou, so he thought that the Zhongyi Army would only sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers even if they were on the border.
Junzhou only belongs to the governor Feng Xingxing, so the results will be very different. A cross-border move by the Jincheng Army will seriously threaten Feng Xingxing's survival. Once Yang Shouliang invades Jinzhou, Feng Xingxing is likely to cooperate with him.
Wei Fufeng asked Lin Hu to go back,

I asked the fifth uncle to come over and talk. The fifth uncle came over and smiled when he saw me: "Boy, what's the matter?"
Wei Fufeng nodded, described the situation in Junzhou, and finally said: "My nephew mentioned his intention to invade Junzhou to his grandfather in Xiyuan, but my grandfather did not mention anything about Junzhou."
"Is this? Maybe you don't know what's going on in Junzhou," the fifth uncle said with a bitter smile.
Wei Fufeng could only nod his head and said: "Since Junzhou and the Zhongyi Army are independent, things may change. Perhaps the governor of Junzhou and Yang Shouliang join forces."
Uncle Wu Qingoh nodded with a solemn expression.
Wei Fufeng said again: "If the governor of Junzhou attacks Xicheng County, Junzhou will be empty behind him. Please ask my uncle to choose a group of soldiers to go to Yancen City in Junzhou and hide in Yancen City one after another."
"You want to take advantage of the situation and seize Junzhou?" Uncle Wu asked in surprise.
Wei Fufeng nodded and said: "Once the governor of Junzhou attacks Xicheng County, information will be delayed due to the long distance, so he will not be able to return reinforcements in the short term."
The fifth uncle thought for a while and said: "We have deployed a large number of troops internally. If we don't use them, there will be no losses. The problem is that it will be difficult to gain a foothold after we capture it. How can the loyal army sit back and watch? We will definitely take the opportunity to send troops to Junzhou."
Wei Fufeng said: "Master Li Ding is still the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Prime Minister Du Rangneng also helped his grandfather to serve as the governor of Jinzhou. If the governor of Junzhou attacks Jinzhou, we will ask the emperor to remove Feng Xing through Li Ding or Du Rangneng.
If we attack, we will appoint another governor of Junzhou. By then, the imperial court will have great righteousness in hand, and the loyal military advisors will be unknown, and the probability of sending troops to Junzhou will be reduced."
The fifth uncle nodded and said, "You are so calculating."
Wei Fufeng smiled and said: "My uncle asked some Junzhou soldiers who are familiar with the geography to go back, but they must ask if they are familiar with the defenders. Once they are recognized by the defenders as mountain bandits, they will miss the point."
The fifth uncle nodded, and Wei Fufeng added: "My nephew went to Junzhou and saw that the city was being built with blue bricks. The work might be an excuse to sneak into the city. He could also pretend to be several groups of merchants coming from Xiangzhou and ask them to bring more
We need some property to prepare the defenders to avoid being forced into the army and come back."
The fifth uncle nodded, and Wei Fufeng said again: "My nephew will mobilize two thousand southern Sichuan regiments for training. If the Jincheng army cooperates with the outside world to capture Yancen City, the two thousand regiments will take over the defense of Yancen Town, allowing uncle's Jincheng army to move to the battle flexibly. If
If you fail to seize the city, then don't attack by force, withdraw your troops and try again later."
The fifth uncle nodded and said, "Don't worry, uncle will understand."
...
Two days later, Lin Qingxue and Xiaoxue, accompanied by ten of their subordinates, arrived at the Fufeng Army station by car. Wei Fufeng immediately set off for Chang'an.
After entering Chang'an City concealing his true identity, Wei Fufeng arrived at Qinglongfang, intending to get close to the soldiers left behind and learn about Chang'an City.
After seeing the soldiers left behind, Wei Fufeng went to Quchi again to take a look.
The Quchi has been simply repaired and is no longer an abandoned scene. The water in the pool is clear and sparkling under the setting sun. The dams beside the water are neatly curved and the newly transplanted willow trees are full of vitality.
Before noon the next day, Wei Fufeng and Lin Qingxue arrived at Baoningfang by car.
Baoningfang is in the south of the city, adjacent to Anyi Fang where Wei Fufeng's relatives live.
Wei Zhaodu's residence was originally located in Wubenfang, close to the Daming Palace. After returning from Shu, he moved to Baoningfang, which was very far from the Daming Palace in the north.
After getting off the car, looking at the obviously dilapidated earth-walled mansion and the colorful wooden door, Wei Fufeng seemed to feel his uncle's desolate mood.
However, the four warriors standing majestically with their swords at the door clearly showed that
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
It shows the extraordinaryness of the owner of the mansion.
Wei Fufeng believed that the guards outside the uncle's gate were not to show his official power, but to intimidate and protect himself. With so many soldiers who went to Xichuan unable to return, the relatives of the soldiers would inevitably resent Wei Zhaodu.
Wei Fufeng walked to the door of the mansion and said calmly: "Please inform Prime Minister Wei that my grandnephew Wei Fufeng is here to pay his respects."
"Please wait." A soldier nodded in response, turned around and opened the door and went in.
After a while, a middle-aged man wearing a round-neck robe walked out, followed by the informing soldier.
The middle-aged man looked at Wei Fufeng and asked, "Which house are you from? A direct descendant?"
Wei Fufeng felt displeased after hearing this, and replied calmly and calmly: "I am a concubine. My father, Wei Xuan, came from Jinzhou."
The middle-aged man asked, "But you have an order from the emperor?"
"No, my grandnephew is here to pay his respects to my uncle." Wei Fufeng replied.
The middle-aged man frowned and said, "My lord has told me not to see anyone idle, so please go back."
"Oh, uncle uncle said in Xichuan that when you come to Chang'an, don't forget to come and talk." Wei Fufeng responded calmly.
The middle-aged man was startled and said, "What are you talking nonsense about?"
Wei Fufeng said calmly: "Since you don't let me see you, it is not rude to the younger generation. Please tell your uncle that Fufeng has come."
After saying that, Wei Fufeng turned around and was about to leave. The middle-aged man hurriedly said: "Wait a moment, I'll ask your Excellency."
The middle-aged man turned around and walked away. Wei Fufeng stood waiting. Although Wei Zhaodu had lost his position as prime minister, the people around him were still proud of themselves.
After a while, the middle-aged man turned back, looked at Wei Fufeng with a sullen face, and said, "My lord, let you in, let's go."
Wei Fufeng looked indifferent, and walked into the door of the mansion together with Lin Qingxue, walked through the hall and entered the main hall. In the hall, at the main seat, there was an old man and a woman sitting at the table across the table, as well as two slaves.
The man was wearing a loose ge robe, his face was elegant, and he looked a little haggard. He was none other than Wei Zhaodu.
The woman is wearing an embroidered skirt, with a rich face and half-white hair.
Wei Fufeng knelt down before leaving, and Lin Qingxue also knelt down and said respectfully: "My grandnephew Fufeng, I wish you great uncle and great aunt. May you be well."
"Get up, it's good to see you again." Wei Zhaodu responded gently.
Wei Fufeng kowtowed again, stood up, turned around and introduced: "My great-uncle, great-aunt, this is my grandnephew's unmarried second wife. She is the legitimate daughter of a prominent family in Junzhou. My grandfather was once the governor of Junzhou."
Wei Zhaodu's expression was slightly surprised, and Wei Fufeng said gently: "Qingxue, kowtow to your great-aunt."
Lin Qingxue knelt down to Mrs. Wei Zhaodu again and said respectfully: "My descendants, please pay your respects to your great-aunt."
"Okay, come." My great-aunt responded with a smile.
Lin Qingxue stood up and walked over, but her great-aunt held her hand. Her great-aunt stood up and left with Lin Qingxue and the slaves to the back house.
Wei Zhaodu said gently: "Sit down."
Wei Fufeng thanked him for sitting down and took the guest seat on the left. He saw the middle-aged man who had followed him and sat across from him. He looked at him and asked gently: "Uncle, is this Fufeng's uncle?"
"Your sixth uncle Wei Gen." Wei Zhaodu replied.
Wei Fufeng stood up and bowed, respectfully saying: "Meet my sixth uncle."
Uncle Six just nodded, Wei Fufeng sat back and turned to look at Wei Zhaodu.
