Kure County Government.

Starry night, insects whispering.

In the simple courtyard of the county government, the brazier shines at night, and the wind curtains the curtain.

In the main hall, Wei Jin sat in front of the desk, Fan Chuan stood behind him, and Feng Dao sat in his hand.

"What is Manager Wei going to do next? Fengzhou did not stop, I heard that after Zhao Cheng captured Fengzhou, he raised troops and went to Taizhou. Feng Dao Zhengse, when he learned that the 20,000 Yangzhou army was annihilated, he was a little shocked, he didn't expect that Cheng Shi to be so useless, and Shen Wu'an seemed to be much stronger than he thought, it seems that this time he has to get serious about his spirit.

"The old man plans to Chen Bing to cross the mountain in front of the county and compare his strength with them. Wait until my son-in-law comes back with the new army, and then make plans. Wei Jin said helplessly, now that he only has 30,000 troops left, it is still unknown whether Shen Wu'an has a backhand, or it is better to use Fan Chuan's suggestion, could it be that they really hide in the mountains for a lifetime and never come out?

"It's just that if Zhao Cheng converges with Taizhou Li Shi and Tanzhou Qian Hu, it will be difficult to do it then." Feng Dao was worried that if Zhao Cheng really became the climate, I am afraid that Yangzhou would fall into a protracted civil strife.

"This guy...... Isn't he really afraid that the old man will sacrifice his mother to the flag? When Wei Jin heard this, he couldn't help but have a headache, there was a son who didn't care about his mother, and when he met such a conscienceless guy, he had to teach him a lesson.

"Well......" Feng Dao looked at Wei Jin with a sad look, and wanted to tell him some news, but after thinking about it, it was not good, after all, if he told him the news from Shence, wouldn't he expose the activities of Shence in Yangzhou.

"It's just that now the Yue people can't be unguarded...... I wonder if General Feng can help the old man and attack Zhao Cheng? Wei Jin looked at the sealing knife and asked.

"Of course, I wish to do it, so don't worry. Before Ying Fushuai didn't come back, he must do his best. Feng Dao replied, I want to help, but I can't help all the time, let's not talk about whether Zhao Cheng's side is good or not, just say that if Ying Qiong comes back, wouldn't it be a little inappropriate for him to stay in Yangzhou again.

"Okay, good, it's really good, old man, thank you General Feng!" Wei Jin naturally heard the meaning of sealing the knife, people are already interesting enough, and when the new army comes back, there is a son, and there is no need for them.

"Then I will say goodbye first, and I will send troops to Taizhou tomorrow." Feng Dao got up and clenched his fists to say goodbye.

"The general walks slowly." Wei Jin smiled and got up to send him off.

……

The sword stepped on the meteor out of the county mansion and went towards the Shence military camp in Beicheng.

Wei Jin sent away the sealing knife, felt tired, turned around, and returned to the front of the case, on the case, there were still some official documents that had not been approved, and the candles on the side flickered......

"Old man, I think something is wrong." Fan Chuan said.

"Oh? What's wrong? "Wei Jin now has some high hopes for this little apprentice.

"Now that Zhao Cheng did not hesitate to raise troops, coupled with his performance in Fengzhou at that time, I feel that he must have used some means to ensure that his mother will not be in danger." Fan Chuan held his chin and thought thoughtfully.

Wei Jin thought about Fan Chuan's words for a while, indeed, Zhao Cheng was too enthusiastic at that time...... Could it be ......

"Hey, this guy...... Isn't it ......" Wei Jin instantly thought of a possibility.

"Steal beams and change pillars!" Fan Chuan said in one word, it must be like this, how can there be a mother who was pulled as a hostage, and her son was still sent off with a hippie smile, look at Li Shi, who was forced to have no choice, so he honestly handed over his mother.

Wei Jin suddenly felt a pain in his heart, he was too careless at the beginning, so Zhao Cheng followed him back and forth, talking nonsense, but he paralyzed himself, didn't think about anything else, and completely followed the path designed by others.

"There's no way, he must be trying to forcibly involve that Li Shi when he goes to Taizhou, so that Li Shi has to follow him." Fan Chuan quickly thought of Zhao Cheng's intentions.

"Hmm...... If these three families get together, it will only be a matter of raising a 20,000-strong army and horse, and the Li family in Taizhou has a big business, and Li Shi is even more wealthy, Zhao Cheng must have taken a fancy to this. Wei Jin pondered the psychology of his opponent.

"Now, although there are only three of them, maybe the other clans are waiting, once Zhao Cheng becomes the climate, the other clans will definitely raise troops to respond, and then the chaos in Yangzhou will be irreparable." Fan Chuan's words were shocking, and Wei Jin couldn't help but smash his fist on the case, overwhelmed.

Fan Chuan was taken aback.

"Old man, are you okay, hey, what are you afraid of, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, not to mention that this may not be a good thing." Fan Chuan leaned over to Wei Jin's face and said mysteriously.

Wei Jin was stunned for a moment, watching Fan Chuan grimace at him, and was instantly amused.

"What do you mean?" Wei Jin asked with interest, he wanted to see what this ghost boy was thinking.

"Since ancient times, if it is not broken and not standing, isn't this a good opportunity for a big break? I guess Ying Gongzi should be very happy, at this time, the new army of Luoyang Mansion is outside, and they won't be able to come back for a while, so I'm not afraid that Luoyang Mansion will take advantage of the chaos to make a move, Qingzhou Mansion...... No one knows what it is, for so many years it has been in a state of closed-door construction, ordinary people can't get in and can't get out, so leave it alone for the time being, there are no external troubles at this time, only internal worries, it's not easy to solve......" Fan Chuan analyzed it seriously, and the more he said, the more he felt that he was extremely correct.

"Boy, how did you come up with this?" Wei Jin was overjoyed in his heart, his apprentice's future was limitless, and he had such insight.

"Do you still need to think about it? My old man, you can see it at a glance...... My father usually taught me to see the subtleties and start from the details......" Fan Chuan slapped the table lightly and said disdainfully, this old man, I'm afraid he is really old, and he doesn't even understand this truth. Fortunately, I am a kobold military advisor here, otherwise I really don't know what he would be confused about.

"Okay, you go on." Wei Jin smiled.

"Old man, you're just too anxious, sometimes it's not a good thing to be anxious, it's only useful to slow down, you always walk in front of your opponents, and people don't see you clearly in the back? You just let Zhao Cheng become a climate, what's wrong? Right, let him come, let him make trouble! Let him be presumptuous! Fan Chuan put his hand behind his back, walked two steps, flicked his sleeves, and his expression was serious, don't say it, he really looks like a military advisor.

"Boy, what do you mean......" Wei Jin began to think.

"Pigs, kill them again when you are fattened, old man, what are you always afraid of? That pig fattened him is also a pig, and he can't become a tiger, you said you, back then you followed the old man to ride out of the customs and retreat from Changlong, you have the courage, are you still afraid of a Zhao Cheng? Fan Chuan looked at Wei Jin's old figure and said, he actually felt it a long time ago, Wei Jin is really old, and he himself does admit that he is old, so he has become impatient, has become forward-looking and timid, and many things are complicated. That's a living enemy, with a head, and a book, when will you be obediently cut off?

Wei Jin's old man is not only his body, but also his heart.

Fan Chuan looked at Wei Jin leaning back on the chair, sighing for a long time, not feeling in his heart, a person, once his heart is old, he will live like walking on thin ice and be overwhelmed.

For a long time, the night breeze is slow, tepid and not cold, the bright moon in the distant sky is as bright as day, and the red leaf river under the night flows quietly, carrying the dream of the passenger boat, and the sadness of the sunset.

The candle flame was extinguished, Fan Chuan hurriedly protected it with his hands, and Wei Jin slowly sat upright.

"You're right, the old man is in a hurry...... It's just that...... The old man wants to do more for his son in the little time he has left. Wei Jin said quietly.

"Understand, that has to be done step by step, don'......t you have to burn the hair first to kill the pig," Fan Chuan quipped.

"Hey...... Boy, you killed too many pigs, can't you change your statement? Wei Jin said happily when he heard this, and the smile on his face appeared, as if he was a few years younger in an instant.

"Hahaha, old man, don't think of me as those sons of the world, those who talk about me are also benevolent and moral, and they are drunk on paper and gold behind their backs. I am the second son of the Fan family, and our Fan family ......" Fan Chuan was a little excited as soon as he talked about their family's family background.

"Stop! The old man knows, your father's business, the old man is sorry for you, but the past has to be passed, Han Chufei is still young, he is frivolous, and he mistakenly killed a clean official like your father, but you are a smart child...... You should be able to think that this is also inevitable. Wei Jin heard Fan Chuan mention their Fan family again, and knew that this kid was mentioning it intentionally or unintentionally, and he also understood Fan Chuan's mood.

When Fan Chuan heard Wei Jin speak, he quieted down and stood with his hands down.

Wei Jin said it, and sighed helplessly.

"Is it inevitable? Is it because our Fan family is the weakest that they cut us out? That's what it means......" Fan Chuan said quietly.

Wei Jin didn't answer, looking at Fan Chuan's bloodshot eyes, his eyes that wanted to cry without tears, he couldn't bear it, lowered his head, and pretended to be looking at the official documents on the case.

"My brother said that he would take revenge, I was too weak, and I could only find a way to replace my father Zhaoxue, so I decided to follow you at that time. You say, can I do it? Fan Chuan asked with a slight cry.

"Yes, surely!" Wei Jin put down the things in his hand, looked up at Fan Chuan, and said firmly.

"That's good." Fan Chuan held back his tears, calmed down, and sat on a chair beside him.

"Okay, it's late at night, let's go back and rest first." Wei Jin said.

"Tomorrow, I will go to Taizhou with General Feng and give me 5,000 soldiers and horses, okay?" Fan Chuan suddenly proposed to lead the troops into battle, which Wei Jin did not expect.

"Are you sure?" Wei Jin thought for a moment and asked rhetorically.

"Sure." Fan Chuan replied affirmatively without hesitation.

"Okay, the old man promised you, and he will give you 5,000 soldiers and horses to go on the expedition together." Wei Jin suddenly understood, this kid was actually in a hurry, this was his first battle, and it was also an unknown beginning.

Fan Chuan was very happy when he saw Wei Jin agree, and got up and ran to the front of the case.

"Old man, are you so relieved of me?" Fan Chuan asked.

"Haha, this should be the old man to ask you, boy, you are so relieved of the old man?" Wei Jin asked rhetorically.

The two looked at each other for a while and laughed.

Afterwards, Fan Chuan went back to the bedroom to rest. After Wei Jin finished reading the official document, he was also in a trance and went back to the house to rest.

……

It's night, and the banks of the Momiji River are exceptionally calm, with only the sounds of nature.

However, on the official road leading to Taizhou, the sound of horses' hooves broke the silence, and one man and one horse galloped towards Taizhou.

……

Thousands of miles of Suhui, the same four seas, the bright moon, shining on the land of one side, but the whole world, the same, also shines on the white jade platform, the Qianqiu Palace.

Dressed independently, worried, it should have been a good day to sleep with a beautiful woman, but Li Wen had no sleep. These days, he almost has insomnia every night, his heart is heavy, and he doesn't even have a good appetite, since he was scolded by Yuan Dao, since Lao Shangshu left him, Li Wen always felt empty in his heart.

The good news in the west was frequent, and Yan Sima was famous all over the world, but it didn't make Li Wen's mood better, he had been thinking about Yuan Dao's words, which seemed to be engraved in his mind, lingering for a long time, like a nightmare.

"I'm really a coward...... Is it? Li Wen looked at the stars like water and asked himself in a low voice.

Bitterness is his new face.

This self-question, no response.

"Oh, I, I'm really a coward, I'm a coward, I don't have the courage to start over, I don't have the courage to clean up the mountains and rivers, but why do you want to blame me! Why?! Why...... If you want to give me such a ruined country...... Father! Father! Li Wen cried, he opened his arms, raised his hands, and questioned the sky.

On the white jade platform, Li Wen was left, and this question, again, did not respond.

After venting, Li Wen felt better, wiped away his tears, wanted to shout again, thought about it, or forget it.

"How can there be so many whys in this world? If you want to ask, the concubine body has to ask, why don't others understand you? Bai Yanran didn't know when, stood behind Li Wen, and spoke, just like the breeze of a summer night, which made people's hearts feel refreshed.

Li Wen heard the sound and looked sideways, and saw that Bai Yanran was only wearing a feather veil as thin as a cicada's wings, her skin was like jade, and her body was graceful, so she couldn't help but move in her heart, and quickly turned her head and looked at the audience.

"I don't need anyone else to understand." Li Wen said quietly.

"Go back to bed, it's not early." Bai Yanran whispered tactfully.

Li Wen glanced back at Bai Yanran, only to see that she had turned around and walked towards the main hall, the white jade platform was glowing with moonlight, reflecting her figure, just like the Guanghan fairy descending to earth, with a smile and a twist, all of which made people addicted.

Li Wen hesitated, then turned around and followed Bai Yan.

"I'm mortal, too...... Why do the world deceive me...... Alas......" Li Wen said abruptly.

"Your Majesty just needs to be your own, why care about other people's eyes and words, then Yuan Dao is just an impulsive teenager, how can he experience the same thing as His Majesty, so Your Majesty doesn't have to be as knowledgeable as him......" Bai Yanran said as she walked, her voice was beautiful.

"You're exculpating him." Li Wen said coldly.

Bai Yanran stopped.

Li Wen walked past her.

A smile appeared in Bai Yanran's eyes. She shuddered, a little frightened.

……

"Hurry up!"
