Chapter 301: Wake up
When I opened my eyes, I still felt a pain in my head!
"Big brother!"
"Come on, big brother is awake!"
……
Immediately, there was a series of hurried steps.
"Big brother, are you okay?"
"Big brother, how are you feeling?"
"Big brother, you're awake! I thought you'd never wake up again......"
"Stone, shut up!
……
Before I could wake up in my head, I heard a buzzing sound in my ears.
"Ah......" Xu Chen hugged his head with a painful expression.
"Big brother, what's wrong with you?"
"Big brother, don't scare me!"
……
Song Yongping, who got the news, walked over and said to Shi Lei: "Let them shut up!"
Shi Lei hurriedly nodded and said loudly: "Don't talk!"
At this time, the teenagers didn't have the heart to care about anything else, so they hurriedly closed their mouths and looked at Song Yongping with blank eyes.
Song Yongping took the pulse, pondered for a moment, reached out and touched Xu Chen's forehead, a little glimmer appeared, and the pain on Xu Chen's face gradually receded.
After calming down in his mind, his vision became clear, and anxious faces appeared in front of him.
"The second, the fourth, the stone, Zheng Tai...... Chai Lao is also there!" Xu Chen's eyes froze, and he immediately asked, "Why are you all here?"
Lu Hao answered: "Big brother, you have been in a coma for half a month......
"What?" Xu Chen was shocked and immediately asked, "How is the situation outside?"
Zheng Tai and the others glanced at each other and lowered their heads one after another, and Lu Hao had no choice but to continue: "The rebellion has been put down!"
Xu Chen was expectant, and hurriedly asked again: "What about people?"
After speaking, he turned his gaze to Chai Lao.
Chai Lao took a few steps forward, bowed down and said, "The eldest prince forgives the sins! The backup plan has not been used, Miss Yang, she ......"
"What's wrong with her?" Xu Chen shouted.
"She's fine!" Chai Lao hurriedly said, "As soon as the battle is over, she will leave!"
"Where have you been?" asked Xu Chen.
"I don't know!" Chai Lao shook his head.
Lu Hao took over the conversation and continued: "Big brother, after the decisive battle outside Zhangzhou City, the remnants of the rebels retreated to the north, and the rebels immediately pursued all the way. ”
"Later, the remnants of the two places met near Jianzhou, the official army attacked from the north and south, and once again defeated the rebels, and the remaining less than 1,000 rebels have all been escaped into the northern mountains, and the various departments of the official army are being wiped out one by one!"
"As for the rebel sailors, after being defeated by Zheng Tai outside Zhangzhou City, half of the escaped met Wu Qi's department off the coast of Fuzhou, and after a big battle between the two sides, the rebels were defeated, and He Yun's life and death were uncertain......"
"What else?" Xu Chen's face was expressionless, and his gaze turned to Zheng Tai.
Zheng Tai had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "I...... I began to think that all the brothers had been killed, and that's why I ...... He ordered an all-out attack, and was later captured by Wang Zhonghe, so he had no choice but to attack the siege rebels......"
"I don't blame you for this!" Xu Chen said calmly, and after being silent for a while, he asked in a low voice, "Do you know where she went?"
Lu Hao shook his head slightly and said, "Miss Yang has a lot of ability, so she won't be fine!"
"It's not a ghost!" Xu Chen said loudly: "If the aura on her body is gone, there is only one way to die!"
The boys bowed their heads.
Xu Chen sighed lightly: "Forget it! The decision was made by me, and I am not qualified to be angry with you......"
"Big brother, I'm ......" Zheng Tai looked apologetic.
"Okay! it's none of your business!" Xu Chen waved his hand and ended the topic.
"Second brother, how is Wang Zhonghe's doing now?" Xu Chen asked.
Lu Hao shook his head and replied: "It's not good! The battle situation in the south is certain, and Chang'an has relieved Wang Shuai of the duties and powers of the general manager of the march, according to the news from the third child, the saint not only wants to remove Wang Shuai's military power, but now the prince's family is working at full strength, and all military factions are also secretly watching, trying to grab the great credit of counterinsurgency!"
Xu Chen was silent for a moment and asked, "How is the third child, what is the teacher's reaction? Is there any news from Lu Zhi?"
Lu Hao then replied: "It's okay! As soon as Lu Zhi arrived in Chang'an, he killed some people, and the predicament on the third side's side was all solved! In addition, after your letter was delivered to the teacher, the teacher's attitude towards us also eased. ”
Xu Chen nodded silently, and fell into deep thought.
The crowd didn't dare to disturb, so they had to wait quietly.
After being quiet for a while, Xu Chen raised his head and said, "Go do these things immediately!"
"First, immediately send a message to the third child, tell him in detail about the operation of Ryukyu to become a military town of Wuwei Army, and let him do it in Chang'an!"
"Yes!" Lu Hao nodded.
"Zheng Tai, now you immediately go back to the official army camp and come forward to negotiate with the generals of the various armies, we don't care about the merits or anything, we will give them what they want, just let them say a few words to us in the court!"
"Okay, I'll go right away!" After saying that, Zheng Tai got up and left.
"The second thing, immediately go and pull a few boats of iron ore here, there is it in the mountains south of Keelung, if you can't find it for a while, you will spend money to buy it, and you must make this cottage a mine, hide people's eyes!"
"Written down, what else?" Lu Hao said.
Xu Chen thought about it again and said, "Go check Wu Qi's old background and see if he has any place to win him over!"
"Wooing?" Lu Hao pondered for a moment and said, "He has two sons, who are about the same age as us!"
"Really?" Xu Chen said in surprise: "That's great! Find someone to contact them, touch their likes, if you can, it's best to draw them to our Wuwei Army!"
"Big brother, are you going to tie Wu Qi to our ship?" Lu Hao asked.
Xu Chen nodded and said: "That's right! Now that the southern maritime trade has been cut off for more than a year, the maritime merchants in the southeast must be eager to recover as soon as possible, and Wu Qi is a person, they will definitely not let it back, plus Wang Zhongsi will definitely step down, and in this occupied area in the south, the imperial court will definitely arrange for a person who can live in the town to stay behind!"
"I guess, it's probably Wu Qi! This cottage is too important to us, and Keelung is not far from Fujian, Wu Qi must find a way to get it!"
"Okay, I'll arrange for someone!" Lu Hao then asked, "Is there anything else?"
"Help me up!" Xu Chen got up slowly, and said with a smile: "I have to write a letter to the teacher quickly, on the one hand, to explain the affairs of the military town, and on the other hand, to calm his heart!"
Zhou Kang, who didn't speak on the side, asked out loud: "Then Miss Yang, do you want to send someone to find it?"
Xu Chen paused, and sighed lightly: "Forget it! If she hides and doesn't want to see her, no one will find it......"
Thousands of miles away in the capital, Chang'an.
As the news of the rebellion in the south came, the people of Chang'an City continued to live as usual, except for a moment of happiness as usual.
After all, it's just a small rebellion in the south, and under the authority of my Tang Army, what is it?
It's just that, on a level invisible to ordinary people, some agitation is happening.
Speaking of which, the fluctuation of the court situation is just an ordinary thing in the capital.
Busy people are busy, and calm people are calm.
In the Prime Minister's Mansion of Bu Zhengfang, Xu Fan put down the long letter in his hand, and Xu Bo behind him asked, "What did the eldest prince say in the letter?"
Xu Fan smiled, shook his head and said, "This stinky boy said that he will leave Beijing in a few days, and he will be in Chang'an before the New Year!"
Uncle Xu said happily: "This is a good thing! Master, aren't you looking forward to him coming to Chang'an!"
"Yes!" Xu Fan sighed pointedly: "It's good to come to Chang'an early!"
"Then I have to prepare well, and the New Year will be lively!" Xu Bo said with a smile.
"Yes, let's go down and prepare!" Xu Fan said lightly.
When Uncle Xu heard this, he bowed down and retreated.
In the study, Xu Fan was the only one left, his fingers slowly tapping the letter on the table, and Xu Fan fell into deep thought.
"Ryukyu ...... Military Town ......"
After thinking alone for a while, Xu Fan called out loud: "Come on, go and invite Mr. Shi!"
After Ming Xuan went to the south, Xu Fan completely lost the news of the other party, and also wrote to ask Xu Chen, Xu Chen naturally deduced that after Zhou Xiyu rashly led the troops to attack the city, Ming Xuan also lost contact with the chaotic army.
Although he knew that there must be a hidden secret, compared to Xu Chen, a demonic apprentice, Ming Xuan, a staff monk, was a little worse after all, and Xu Fan did not delve into it.
Now although the Prime Minister's Mansion has gradually recruited a few staff, when it comes to major events, Xu Fanzong only asks Shi Nanting's opinion.
After a while, Shi Nanting, a staff member of the Prime Minister's Mansion, rushed over: "Xiangye, what happened?"
Recently, the situation in Beijing is very delicate, in response to the problem of Wang Zhonghe, the saint and the crown prince are secretly fighting, and the entire court has fallen into a strange calm, and no one dares to bet easily before the situation is clear.
Shi Nanting originally thought that Xu Fan called him here to discuss this important matter, but he didn't want Xu Fan to open his mouth and asked, "Nanting, how much do you know about Ryukyu?"
"Ryukyu?" Shi Nanting was stunned for a moment, frowned and pondered, and only replied after a while: "Ryukyu is a small country on the southern sea, and when the Holy Emperor ascended the throne a few decades ago, he sent people to pay tribute, and since then there have been many fewer exchanges between the two countries, but he has always respected the Tang Dynasty as his suzerain. ”
"What else?" Xu Fan asked lightly.
"And?" Shi Nanting thought for a moment and shook his head apologetically: "I don't know if there are more things below! If Xiangye is interested, why don't you go to the Ministry of Rites in the next place? They should have more information there!"
Xu Fan smiled and shook his head, and said helplessly: "No need to go! I don't know what year they have there, and it's useless to see it!"
Shi Nanting speculated about Xu Fan's intentions, but found nothing, and asked, "Why is Xiangye suddenly interested in this small country?"
Xu Fan smiled and said, "Yes, our eyes are only focused on the north, and these small countries in the south are really not worth mentioning!"
Shi Nanting couldn't tell Xu Fan's intentions, so he could only be silent.
Suddenly, Xu Fan sighed: "But why is that stinky boy suddenly interested in this small country?"
