The middle of October in the Qingzhou calendar.

Yangzhou Mansion.

Council Hall.

The county guards of the sixty-four counties of Yangzhou gathered together, and the eight battalion generals stood in armor.

Ying Qiong sat firmly in the handsome position, Wei Jin held the document in his hand, and it was difficult to calm down in his heart.

"I intend to go west, the matter is very high, I hope that all the kings will work together to prepare for the war, and there will be no mistakes." Wei Jin read a paragraph first, and then looked at everyone's expressions.

One by one, the generals were overjoyed, gearing up, and finally had the opportunity to make meritorious contributions. But the county guards looked embarrassed one by one.

"Ordered Wuhu County to guard, Han Chufei as the governor of the capital, in charge of Yangzhou soldiers and horses, to coordinate the war, and to appoint Wei Jin as the deputy governor, responsible for logistics grain and grass, and fully assist." Wei Jin paused again, observing everyone's reactions.

"Abolish the eight battalions in Yangzhou into four battalions and form a new army." After Wei Jin finished reading, the hall blew up.

"The lower officials think that it is inappropriate to abolish the eighth battalion, and the marshal wants to go west, why do he want to cut his own wings?" Tanzhou County Shou said.

"Disarmament at this time, how to settle?"

"The minister thought that it was not appropriate to go west at this time, and just after the turmoil, the people finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the people were panicked."

"The westward expedition costs the people and money, and I am afraid it is not what the people want."

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The ministers seconded it!"

For a time, the county guards had their own opinions, in short, they were against the Western Expedition.

Han Chufei didn't speak, and stood silently.

Ying Qiong smiled coldly, looking at these unambitious and pedantic county guards, he knew that these people were afraid that the Western Expedition would hurt their interests. Since ancient times, the power of wealthy families in Jiangnan has become a trend that cannot be dropped, and most of these county guards are children of wealthy families.

Ying Qiong got up slowly, picked up the golden knife on the table, and looked at everyone, and suddenly everyone didn't dare to speak, and watched quietly. Ying Qiong walked up to Han Chufei and handed him the golden knife.

Han Chufei hurriedly took the knife.

Ying Qiong patted him on the shoulder.

This made all the county guards understand.

"Everyone, if there's anything wrong, just say something." Wei Jin said with a smile.

The ministers shook their heads one after another, everyone knew that besides, I was afraid that their heads were going to move.

"In that case, let's disperse, go down and prepare, all the county guards remember to prepare the grain and grass as scheduled." Wei Jin smiled with satisfaction.

Everyone quit one after another.

Han Chufei held the golden knife in his hand and did not leave.

"What's the matter with the Grand Duke?" Wei Jin asked.

"Oh, this knife ......" Han Chufei always felt that this knife was a little different.

"This knife is the thing of Yangzhou Zhenzhou, passed down through the dynasties, it is the token of the successive commanders of Yangzhou, and the person who serves this knife orders Yangzhou." Wei Jin explained.

Ying Qiong gently shook the folding fan, and the appearance of the past appeared, the son was like jade, and the eyebrows and eyes were crooked.

"I see, the last general will live up to the trust of his son, and he will die with all his might!" Han Chufei was instantly grateful.

Ying Qiong nodded and smiled peacefully.

"Metropolitan Governor, it's up to you, you are a smart person, you know why this battle is, the old man won't say much, I think I Yangzhou can be partial for a while, how can I be partial to a lifetime......" Wei Jin sighed.

"Don't worry, boss, I know it in my heart, the heart of the child, the last general understands!" Han Chufei glanced at Ying Qiong, his eyes flashing with hope and enthusiasm.

……

Yangzhou City Pavilion Station.

The doors and windows were closed, and the two watchers kept looking left and right, very vigilant.

Inside the house.

"Lord Zhao, what do you say we should do?" Tanzhou County Shou Qian Hu said.

"In my opinion, this little boy is too young and ignorant." Jiangzhou County Shou Sun Ran hesitated for a long time and said.

"Can't let him mess around like this, Yangzhou is now in a prosperous situation, can't let him be ruined!" Taizhou County Shou Li Hui said angrily.

Zhao Hao, the county guard of Fengzhou, pondered for a long time. He felt that this sudden westward expedition might have another hidden secret, but he couldn't think of it for a while.

"Can you be quiet for a while, what to pretend, everyone understands people, you are just for the gold, silver and jewelry of your own good land mansions." Zhao Hao patted the tea case and said angrily.

All three of them were said to be in their hearts, not in words.

"Let me say, as long as we don't give him food and grass, he won't be able to send troops!" Qian Hu said.

"Yes, yes, Lord Qian is right." Li Hui and Sun Ran echoed one after another.

Zhao Hao looked at the three of them meaningfully for a while.

"Well, let's do it, let's just say that it is late autumn, and the people have no food in their homes, so they can't levy enough military rations." Zhao Hao said with a smile.

"Okay." The three of them spoke in unison.

Yangzhou General's Mansion Study.

Ying Qiong stood in front of the map, deducing the battle.

"Childe, do you think those people will really disobey military orders?" Wei Jin was worried that those county guards would play tricks.

Ying Qiong smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Alas, I hope that the intention of the prince can be understood by Governor Han." Wei Jin brought a cup of tea and handed it to Ying Qiong.

……

Han Chufei, who got the military order and took the golden sword, did not return to the pavilion, and immediately rode his horse to the Eighth Battalion Station, west of Yangzhou City, Xuanzhou City, a hundred miles away from Yangzhou City.

Xuanzhou City is about 800 miles away from his Wuhu County.

Wuhu County is just on the border between Luoyang and Yangzhou.

Galloping all the way, Han Chufei was full of spirits, just like the champion of high school back then, and he was really proud of the spring breeze...... The difference is that it is autumn wind, but that doesn't hurt.

……

A few hours later, Han Chufei rode his horse to the gate of Xuancheng.

Patrolling guards swarmed up.

"Who trespassed on the military city?" The guards asked.

Han Chufei sat on his horse and raised his golden sword high.

The guard was stunned for a moment, and when he saw it clearly, he hurriedly turned around and ran.

"Open the gates! Open the gates! ”

Han Chu flew into the city.

"Order all the generals to reorganize the school! Pontus then arrived. Han Chufei shouted at the sergeant guarding the city.

The sergeant heard the word "Governor" and ran away.

Han Chu flew to the Governor's Mansion in the city, and Zhu Ma looked at it, and his heart was full of pride.

Since the previous dynasty, Xuanzhou has been a military city, with garrisons in the city, military tuns outside the city, and four school fields in the east, west, south and north, and the drills are non-stop every day.

There is a governor's mansion in the city, it was originally the Xuanzhou governor's mansion, in the middle of the rebellion of King Yan, the Nanzhao country in the southwest of the border also raised troops to respond, the commander of the Nanzhao army led 30,000 troops, and the Jiannan Festival was made in Shuzhong before the big break, the court was shaken, and under the internal and external troubles, the Xuanzhou Governor's Mansion was set up in Xuanzhou, and Ying Tianyang, who had just returned from Yique Pass, was appointed as the governor of the capital to deal with the war in the southwest.

Now, Han Chufei stood in front of this governor's mansion, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

The past is like a cloud of smoke......

Han Chufei dismounted and walked into the mansion.

"See the Grand Governor!" Everyone in the palace saluted.

Han Chufei walked into the main hall, and there were several portraits hanging in the hall, and after looking at them one by one, it turned out to be the successive governors of Xuanzhou. In the past few years, the rise and fall of the dynasty, the Xuanzhou Governor's Mansion is also sometimes used, sometimes idle, every time it is used, there is a new governor sitting here, but the country is broken, the successive Xuanzhou Governors are all killed in battle, and now only Ying Tianyang is still alive.

Han Chufei's heart was shocked, the ancestors are like this, what should my generation do?

He bowed deeply and did not rise for a long time.

If you listen carefully, you can also know that the man has tears!

The guards came at a trot.

"Qi Metropolitan Governor, the battalions have completed the army, please move to the West School Field!"

Han Chufei waved his hand, secretly wiped away his tears, got up and walked out of the house quickly.

The guard noticed that the commander was strange, and couldn't help but wonder.

Just as he was about to leave, he couldn't help but come back and take a look at the main hall.

The five portraits on the wall have long since been yellowed......

Faintly visible in the mottled landscape, the fifth portrait.

Inscription:

The rivers and mountains are withering, the wind and rain are drifting, and the whip urges the horses to be full of frost.

The general did not hang the seal of the marquis, and often carried a bloody knife under his waist!
