Chapter 40: Alone in the Prairie

Early in the morning, Fang Zheng got up. I fell last night, and I still have some pain when I wake up today.

Fang Zheng stretched and yawned. After washing, Fang Zheng sighed, what are you doing today? You can't stay at home on a good day, right?

The academy could not go for the time being, because the Turkic army went south, the people of the Chinese Dynasty panicked, and the students could not study with peace of mind.

Ruyu Zhai will open in half a month, and the preparations for the opening are taken care of by the staff of the Fang family's firm, and Fang Zheng can't help much.

The fat man doesn't know what he's doing these days, he can't see anyone, and I haven't seen him come to the house for a few days. Take the initiative to find him, Fang Zheng didn't want to see the brutal Princess Changping.

"Oh, it's so boring, what are you looking for to do?" Fang Zheng lay down on the bed and began to ponder.

Before I could think about it, Steward Sun came.

"Young master, there is a guest at the door, it is the general of Jin Wuwei last time, do you want to see it?"

"Brother Feng?" Fang Zheng bounced up from the bed like chicken blood: "Hurry up, invite him in!" ”

After a while, Feng Qiudao strode into Fang Zheng's small courtyard.

"Oh, Brother Feng, what kind of wind is blowing you over again?" Hey? Why do you say "again"?

Feng Qiudao smiled much more naturally this time than before. - The so-called "natural", in fact, is just a little more stretched at the corners of his mouth, this guy's consistent image of an iron-blooded tough guy, laughing at him is a more difficult thing than killing.

"Brother Fang, I took the liberty to come to the door, and I hope you don't blame me for being rude."

"No, no, Brother Feng, you are a distinguished guest." Fang Zheng smiled happily, listening to Feng Qiudao talk about how to fight and how to kill people, today's day was not boring.

Fang Zheng was smiling, but Feng Qiudao pushed the golden mountain with a solemn face, poured the jade pillar, "plopped", and "bowed" to Fang Zheng.

Fang Zheng's smile froze as if someone had choked his neck, and then he was so frightened that he panicked, and hurriedly rushed forward and picked up Feng Qiudao: "Oh, how did you say this, Brother Feng, what are you doing?" Let's talk about it if there's something, okay? As long as you say it, I will never shirk what I can do, little brother. - Except for borrowing money, I don't have any money......"

Feng Qiudao looked at Fang Zheng with gratitude on his face and said: "Brother, this worship, I am worshipping you on behalf of the people of Dahua, Feng received the holy decree, and the emperor adopted your strategy of retreating from the enemy, and ordered me to lead 20,000 elite cavalry to raid the grassland, and set off tonight." Feng Mou is not wrong, brother, you are really a bloody man, if your strategy of retreating from the enemy is successful, at least you can keep my Dahua safe for three to five years, and how many fewer people will die in my Dahua. ”

"Huh?" Fang Zheng was dumbfounded, the emperor actually adopted my strategy, which was very unexpected. It seems that the young master is really talented and resourceful, no matter how low-key I am, I am as bright and outstanding as a firefly in the dark......

But...... When I came up with this idea, I didn't think about the life or death of the people, I just wanted to continue to be my young master in peace, and I had to come up with such an idea, Feng Qiudao insisted on putting the young master and me in the position of serving the country and the people, this ...... What a big misunderstanding......

Fang Zheng smiled dryly: "Brother Feng, you are polite, hehe, if I say that my original intention of coming up with this idea was not for the people, you ...... No comments, right? ”

Feng Qiudao said: "No matter who it is for, in short, the people have inherited your favor." Brother, don't worry, the plan is yours, Feng Mou will not embarrass you when he enters the grassland! ”

"Ah, no, no, it's okay to lose face, I don't care, just talk about it casually, don't take it too seriously......"

When Fang Zheng said this, he suddenly worried about one thing, everyone's performance seemed to be sure that his idea would definitely work, the fat man was like this, and so was Feng Qiudao, they had confidence in themselves, which Fang Zheng was very pleased with. - But what if the plan doesn't work?

"Brother Feng, I take the liberty of asking," Fang Zheng swallowed his saliva with difficulty and said, "That...... What if, I mean, the strategy I offer to retreat from the enemy fails? - Uh, the emperor won't punish my nine clans, right? ”

The victory is gratifying, but if it is defeated, the court must find a scapegoat, right? This strategy was originally Fang Zheng's plan, and the Fang family has nothing to do with the court officials, if you want to be held responsible, who is more suitable to play this poor sheep than Fang Zheng?

Feng Qiudao frowned when he heard this, and said, "How can my brother be so unconfident in himself? Lord Wei of the Ministry of War, together with the generals of the guards, slightly modified the details of your strategy, everyone said that this plan has a great chance of success, I have carefully consulted your strategy, and I also think it is very feasible, brother, you can rest assured. ”

Can you believe the words of the court officials? This old Feng is inevitably too simple.

"What if it fails?"

Feng Qiudao groaned: "If it really fails, Feng and those 20,000 elites will not be able to come back." Besides, brother, you're only afraid ......"

Feng Qiudao shook his head and didn't continue.

Feng Qiudao's meaning Fang Zheng understood, the plan failed, and I can't please this idea, wash your neck and prepare to be knifed.

Fang Zheng couldn't wait to slap himself hard, why am I so cheap! It's a good day, but you have to be stupid to give the court some bullshit schemes, and I don't want to think about it, is the court so easy to spend? People have to have an after-sales service when they buy toilet paper in the store, not to mention that this is a major event related to the survival of the country, how can I just talk about it?

Neither Zhuge Liang nor Zhou Gongjin, the narcissus does not bloom, which door is the big head garlic! It's good now, and I've got myself in.

"But don't worry, brother, Hugh said that this plan will not fail, it will be defeated, and His Royal Highness King Fu will also keep you safe. I heard that His Royal Highness King Fu had a word in front of the emperor, and if he wins, he will be rewarded, and if he loses, he will not be held accountable, and the emperor also agreed. ”

I see, now my heart is much more relaxed, and the fat man is really righteous enough.

While Fang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, he began to worry about Feng Qiudao: "Brother Feng, the people of the grassland tribe are fierce, even if they are old and weak, women and children, they are all good at riding and shooting, don't take it lightly, junior brother is still waiting for you to come back and tell me the story of leading troops to fight." ”

"Don't worry, brother, Feng grew up in Biansai since he was a child, and he knows a lot about the Turkic people on the grassland, so you can wait for my good news."

The two talked for a while before Feng Qiudao got up to say goodbye and went back to the barracks to reorganize the army.

In May of the twelfth year of Jianwu, Feng Qiudao, the deputy general of the Longwu Army, led 20,000 elite cavalry, secretly drove out of the capital in the starry night, and went west. The ministers were still arguing fiercely in the court every day for peace or war.

Feng Qiudao led the division before entering the grassland, and the military report came from the capital, the Chinese Dynasty Dingzhou held on for three days and was captured by the Turkic army, the day the city was broken, Liu Chengfeng, the prefect of Dingzhou, and Wu Guangde, the garrison general, were martyred, and the young women in the city were taken captive, and the rest were all slaughtered. After the looting, the Turks set fire to the city, and for a time, Dingzhou was red for hundreds of miles, blood flowed like a river, and all the earth was scorched in the eyes. The surviving civilians brought their families and families to the south to escape the military disaster.

Now the Turkic army has pointed its troops to Youzhou, and the forward 50,000 horses have reached the city, and Youzhou is in danger.

When the news reached the capital, the emperor was furious, the ministers panicked, and the debate between the main battle faction and the main peace faction became more and more intense. and, then lose the prestige of the country, the hearts of the people, the war, and there is no soldier to fight. The emperor was annoyed by the daily noise of the court like a vegetable market, but he did not expect any idea from this group of ministers who could only talk about it, and he set his sights on the northwest, where an army was crossing the Loess Plateau and approaching the steppe that the Chinese had not stepped into for a hundred years.

This army may be the last hope of the Hua Dynasty.

The court is arguing, and the Fang family is not at peace, which has nothing to do with the government.

These days, Master Fang is putting more and more attention and energy into his only precious son.

Since this son broke his head, he has really opened his mind as the people of Fang Mansion said. This point, Master Fang can find evidence in many aspects of daily life, such as learning, treating people and things, not inferior to his intelligence and long-term vision as the head of the family, etc., Master Fang even had an idea that if he completely handed over the family's property to his son now, the achievements of the Fang family's business would be far more than that.

Lao Huai's comfort is the truest portrayal of Master Fang's mood now. After waiting for many years, God finally opened his eyes, his son was reborn, how can I not teach him to be happy and happy.

Therefore, under the old man's affectionate attention, Fang Zheng's trouble came. To outsiders, this is a glamorous trouble. - Master Fang plans to find him a family business.

Since knowing the identity of Princess Changping, Master Fang and Mrs. Fang have never thought of accepting her as a daughter-in-law, the difference in status is too great, and this matter is too unreliable. But Young Master Fang has to get married, and if he delays any longer, it will become a joke in the Jinling business district.

In ancient times, there were very few eighteen-year-old men who did not marry, and even if there were, they were poor families who could not afford to pay the dowry and could not even fill their stomachs. Although the social status of the Fang family is not high, the least bad thing is silver.

It's just because Fang Zheng's predecessor was too bastard, and good people were unwilling to marry their daughters to him, that Fang Zheng has been delayed until now.

Now that Fang Zheng has crossed over, he is kind and angry, never puts on a young master's shelf, and is highly knowledgeable (this is represented by his more than 300 pairs of Shangchen Master). These changes have been spread by people who have a heart, so now Young Master Fang has a big reputation in the Jinling business district, and everyone is impressed by him. As soon as the reputation is good, the family affairs will naturally be sent to the door.

There are three relatives who are sent to the door, all of whom are the daughters of the proprietors of the businesses in Jinling City. The three have a common feature, their businesses all rely on the support of the Fang family's firm. To be precise, these three family affairs are all in the nature of a business marriage.
