Chapter 389: The Second General Fights for Merit

After Zuo Nan agreed to this marriage, Fang Yuan found Gan Hui who was stationed in Yangzhou Mansion.

Fang Yuan told Gan Hui straight to the point that he had found a family affair for Gan Hui, which was Zuo Liangyu's daughter and Zuo Mengeng's sister, Zuo Nan.

Gan Hui was stunned, and his expression was very repulsive.

Yu Gong, Fang Yuan also gave Shi Lang a marriage, but the married Xu Ru has the title of county lord, and she is also a sister to Princess Kunxing. Now that Fang Yuan and Zuo Liangyu are in a hostile position, asking him to marry a woman who is offered by the enemy will not be beneficial to his future at all, and when he goes to Zuo Liangyu in the future, he may cause a commotion.

Yu private, Zuo Nan is the woman that Zuo Junjin dedicated to Fang Yuan, what is the matter if he intervenes in it?

Fang Yuan saw the reluctance in Gan Hui's expression, and instructed Mama Liang to bring Zuo Nan out to meet Gan Hui first.

Zuo Nan is pretty, at least eight or nine points of beauty, compared to Gan Hui's previous wife, it is simply a world of difference. Most of the women Gan Hui met in Fujian are not as fair-skinned and delicate as Zuo Nan, such a delicate little beauty who is so tender that she is almost out of the water, in terms of appearance, Gan Hui has nothing to say.

But marrying a wife is not a concubine, it is by no means determined by appearance, Gan Hui still refused, "Governor Fang, I am now focusing on merit, and I don't want to marry a wife and have children." ”

Fang Yuan smiled and said, "Only by first uniting the family can we govern the country and level the world, and there is no conflict between becoming a family and making meritorious contributions!" ”

He said solemnly, "Commander Gan, the most important thing for our army now is to pacify Jiangxi, right!" Zhao Quanzhong, you are both competing for the important task of pacifying Jiangxi, right! ”

Today, the power structure of the Xuanjia Army is respected by Jing Jie, supplemented by Chigutai and Shi Lang. Among these three people, two of them are Fang Yuan's sworn brothers, and Chigutai is also a cronie among Fang Yuan's cronies, and their status is impossible to shake.

But further down, among the new generation of generals, the competition between Gan Hui and Zhao Quanzhong is the most intense, and this time they went to Jiangxi, and the two did not give in to each other. Gan Hui's infantry battalion did not make any contributions, but it was Zhao Quanzhong's cavalry battalion, which harassed the left army from head to end. In addition, Zhao Quanzhong presided over the military affairs of Chizhou Mansion, this is the big front of the conquest of Jiangxi, who will be entrusted with the important task of pacifying Jiangxi, and the current balance is tilted towards Zhao Quanzhong.

Gan Hui truthfully said what he really thought in his heart, "Yes, it is precisely because I want Mao Sui to recommend himself to be the main general of Jiangxi, so I can't accept this family business!" ”

Fang Yuan smiled and said, "I gave this marriage just to give Commander Gan a chance to preside over Jiangxi's military affairs!" Jiangxi's 300,000 to 400,000 bandit soldiers, if they focus on military conquest, will inevitably lose both, and it is not cost-effective. I believe that the left army should be persuaded to surrender as the main force, supplemented by military conquest. ”

Gan Hui seemed to have insight into some mysteries, listened attentively, and his expression no longer resisted.

Fang Yuan continued, "This time Zuo Liangyu is offering a daughter, which is a great opportunity. I would like to take advantage of this marriage to send a well-intentioned message to the Left Army, hoping that the Left Army can understand the current affairs and surrender, so that a battle of the country with at least hundreds of thousands of casualties can be avoided. After Commander Gan and Zuo Nan got married, he immediately transferred with Commander Zhao and went to Chizhou Mansion to preside over military affairs. ”

"If you can really persuade Zuo Liangyu and Zuo Mengeng, the left army is a murderous knife for our army, and you will inevitably enjoy high-ranking officials. Commander Gan marrying Zuo Nan is not an insult to the lintel! ”

Being able to preside over the military affairs of Chizhou Mansion, that is, to pacify Jiangxi and recruit the left army, was handed over to Gan Hui, which was enough to make Gan Hui famous in the annals of history.

Fang Yuan had already said it openly, and Gan Hui had no reason to refuse. He was alone, and he didn't need to report to his parents that he knew, so he didn't hesitate much and readily agreed to the marriage.

The 100,000 taels of silver brought by Zuo Nan were not taken by Fang Yuan for himself, but directly used as Zuo Nan's dowry and gave them to Gan Hui and Zuo Nan. Such a large sum of silver is already more generous than the dowry when Xu Ru married Shi Lang.

As for the choice of the auspicious day of the zodiac to organize the wedding, it was left to Jing Jie to arrange.

Less than ten days after the news that Fang Yuan was going to marry Gan Hui and Zuo Nan and ordered Gan Hui to preside over the military affairs of Chizhou Mansion, Zhao Quanzhong, the commander of the cavalry battalion, went to Suzhou City privately and came to meet Fang Yuan.

Zhao Quanzhong is a military man in his thirties, and he doesn't have those fancy intestines, so he expressed his dissatisfaction with Fang Yuan's arrangement straight to the point, "Governor Fang, the military affairs of Chizhou Mansion are obviously presided over by me, why was it suddenly replaced by Commander Gan?" ”

Fang Yuan ordered him to sit down a little quietly, and ordered the maid to serve tea, and asked him to drink water first to dissipate his anger, "Commander Zhao, presiding over military affairs, what does Jing Shuai say?" ”

Zhao Quanzhong casually drank two sips of tea and said, "It was Governor Fang who gave Zuo Liangyu's daughter to Commander Gan in marriage, just to make Commander Gan preside over the military affairs of Jiangxi. I didn't ask the boss, I went straight to Governor Fang. ”

Although Fang Yuan knew that he was also eager to fight and grab merit, he didn't have the idea of rushing abruptly, but he didn't know much about etiquette. However, grabbing credit is grabbing merit, in terms of the normal process, the person Zhao Quanzhong should reason with is Jing Jie, and his current behavior is obviously a cross-level discussion.

There are no rules, there is no circle, if everyone learns from Zhao Quanzhong, if there is a slight disagreement, skip the coach Jing Jie to find himself to open the back door, then it is okay? What is the military prestige of the Xuanjia Army? Does coach Jing Jie still want to govern the army?

His words were offensive, and Fang Yuan could have generously not bothered with him, but this kind of transgressive behavior was a violation of military law and must not be tolerated.

Fang Yuan snorted coldly, turned around and went back to the back hall, left Zhao Quanzhong alone in the lobby, ignored the question, and went to the Taihu base to inform Jing Jie to come to the Governor's Mansion.

Zhao Quanzhong stayed in the lobby, at a loss.

wanted to find Fang Yuan's theory, but Fang Yuan ignored him at all, so he couldn't just break into the backyard!

wanted to leave, he came to ask for an explanation, so he left in a gray way, how to explain to the brothers in the cavalry battalion when he went back?

Zhao Quanzhong was in a dilemma, so he simply sat cross-legged in the lobby, neither leaving nor shouting, just consuming with Fang Yuan, waiting for Fang Yuan's statement.

He sat like this for two days and two nights, and Fang Yuan's figure did not appear in the lobby.

Of course, Fang Yuan couldn't starve Zhao Quanzhong, so he arranged for the maid to bring him food when he arrived at the meal, Zhao Quanzhong ate the food, went to the toilet, and came back and continued to meditate. At night, the lobby was empty anyway, so Zhao Quanzhong directly put together two chairs as beds, and the next morning, he moved back by himself.

The maidservants who came and went watched him sit stupidly in the lobby, and they all snickered. Fang Yuan also peeked at it more than once, and he was also secretly funny, this Zhao Quanzhong really had a bit of stubbornness that did not reach his goal.

The two sides spent two days and two nights like this, and it was not until Jing Jie arrived at the Governor's Mansion that Fang Yuan slowly came out of the lobby and sat on the main seat, while Jing Jie sat on the side.

Fang Yuan asked in a cold voice, "Commander Zhao, you have been reflecting for two days, do you know where the fault is?" ”

Zhao Quanzhong saw that Jing Jie had arrived at the Governor's Mansion, and he had already made it clear that he was in the middle, and he half-knelt on the ground to ask the two of them for their guilt, "I didn't inform the boss, and I overstepped the level." ”

Jing Jie said, "Skipping the level of deliberation is to ignore military law, but fortunately, Commander Zhao's move did not cause serious consequences, and he should be punished for 30 years to set an example." ”

Zhao Quanzhong said happily, "Thirty is thirty, fifty is fine." However, I still have to find Governor Fang to ask for an explanation, I was in charge of the military affairs of Chizhou Mansion, and I am more familiar with dealing with the official government of Chizhou Mansion, why did I suddenly give Commander Gan to rob me of my credit, this is not fair! ”

Fang Yuan Zhengrong said, "Transferring Commander Gan to preside over the military affairs of Chizhou Mansion is to make him go to conquer Jiangxi." And Commander Zhao, there is another equally important military matter that you need to preside over. ”

Zhao Quanzhong hurriedly asked about military affairs, and Fang Yuan continued, "The pacification of the south depends on Gan Hui's infantry battalion, and the northern battlefield mainly relies on cavalry to compete for power, and the conquest of the north will fall on Chigutai and you." In this troubled era, what has a lot of military achievements is that they are all their own people, and they don't have to be robbed. ”

Fang Yuan's arrangement was to hand over the heavy task of pacifying the south to Gan Hui, and the heavy responsibility of the north was pressed on Chigutai and Zhao Quanzhong. The two sides have their own duties, and there should be no more fighting.
