The grain convoy traveled south for another ten days and finally reached the north of Weishui.

Fang Yuan and his entourage waited by the Weishui for a long time, but no sergeant came to answer, so they had to order Jing Jie to start building a pontoon bridge across the river.

Fang Yuan was secretly wondering that Chongzhen's holy decree should have been passed to Sun Chuanting, who was in the military affairs of the governor of Xi'an, and Fang Yuan also sent someone to send the news to Xi'an City five days ago.

Why didn't Governor Sun Chuanting send an army to meet the prison army? Why don't you send someone to build a wooden bridge to transport grain first?

An ominous thought suddenly appeared in his mind, "Could it be that something has happened in Xi'an City?" ”

In the early morning of the next day, after Jing Jie led the people to build a night of busy construction, three simple pontoon bridges were finally built, although the number was less, it was enough for the grain transport team to cross the Weishui slowly.

At noon, hundreds of cavalry finally appeared faintly in front, and this line of cavalry could only see clearly when they approached Fang Yuan, and the banner said big 'Sun', which was Sun Chuanting's banner.

The first person was born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a full beard, and a big mace. The cavalry led by him was also fully armed, and he did not slow down the speed of his horse when he ran closer, but in a straight line, neatly lined up, forming a military formation, which was obviously not good.

Fang Yuan saw everyone's posture and secretly ordered the musketeers of Chigutai to prepare for the response and act according to orders.

He and Jing Jie rode their horses to meet them, and the man did not dismount at first, but only arched his hand on the horse and said, "I am Niu Chenghu, the chief soldier of Lintao, and I came to inquire about the Fang Jian army on the order of Governor Sun, what is the purpose of coming to Shaanxi?" ”

Niu Chenghu went straight to the point with a questioning tone, the other party Yuan and his party came to Shaanxi with great prejudices, and his attitude was Sun Chuanting's attitude, obviously Sun Chuanting had a strong resistance to Fang Yuan's arrival.

Fang Yuan was secretly stunned, why was Sun Chuanting dissatisfied, did he not want to move his division, and wanted to learn from the Guanning Army and the Huguang Army, and be a Qin army overlord in Shaanxi? But according to historical records, Sun Chuanting is a great loyal minister, and he should not disobey the military orders of the imperial court?!

Sun Chuanting made such a battle, completely not according to Fang Yuan's pre-estimated routine, Fang Yuan was at a bottom in his heart, but in the face of Niu Chenghu's aggressive dismount, if he showed a little cowardice at this moment, it would only make Niu Chenghu even more despised and Qin Jun even more despised it.

"I won't give you a dismount, you and I will be Hello Kitty!"

Fang Yuan's face sank suddenly, and he responded sharply to Niu Chenghu, "Bold!" The prison army came on behalf of His Majesty, and Governor Sun didn't even go out of the city to greet him in person, because he wanted to learn from Liukou to occupy the mountains in Shaanxi and become kings?! ”

He pointed to Niu Chenghu's front door and scolded, "If you see your majesty, although you don't have to bow down, you dare to talk to me on the horse, and the military order of the imperial court can't control you Niu Zongbing?" Dare to inquire about the military and political decisions of the imperial court, do you want to rebel? ”

He glanced at Jing Jie, Jing Jie waved the command flag suddenly, and Chigutai, who had been preparing for a long time, led three hundred musketeers to line up, lined up in three rows with a three-stage strike formation, and raised the fire gun with a brush, aiming at Niu Chenghu and his party.

Niu Chenghu didn't expect Fang Yuan to scold him when he saw him, and even put up a phalanx of three hundred musketeers to confront him.

He is a cadre general in the army, and he can see at a glance that Fang Yuan's musketeer cavalry is neatly organized, skillfully arranged, and the sergeants are all mighty and capable, all of them are the elite of the elite.

Niu Chenghu was shocked, and he was so frightened that he accepted his previous arrogance, turned over and dismounted, and saluted Fang Yuan respectfully, "Lord Prison is angry, Niu is a rough man in the army, rude, rude!" Governor Sun's ear disease has been committed again, and he is recuperating in the governor's palace, and Niu is on the order of Governor Sun, who came to welcome the prison army into the city. ”

Fang Yuan glanced at him coldly, rode his horse and said in a deep voice, "Chief Niu is on his horse and leads the way, and this prison army is going to see what kind of ear disease Governor Sun has." ”

Niu Chenghu hurriedly got on his horse, led the way by the cavalry of the Qin army, and led Fang Yuan straight to Xi'an City, and went to the pavilion in the city to rest for a while.

Fang Yuan and his entourage lived in the pavilion, and ordered Qin Zhan to take 10,000 taels of silver to distribute to the people who transported the grain, and supervised them to deliver the grain to Sun Chuanting's department.

Fang Yuan rested in the pavilion for three days, but he didn't see Sun Chuanting's shadow, and he didn't see Sun Chuanting send someone to summon him to meet him at the Governor's Palace.

Everyone walked around Xi'an City, and it was still prosperous, but compared to the capital, there was also Suzhou Mansion where Fang Yuan had been, which was far from the same.

Fang Yuan ordered Qin Zhan to go to the governor's palace to continue communication, while Chigutai and a group of Mongols went to the suburbs to hunt on horseback.

Fang Yuan and Jing Jie climbed the drum tower of Xi'an City and took in the panoramic view of this great ancient capital.

This ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties is one of the origins of Chinese civilization, and has also witnessed the ups and downs of 3,000 years of Chinese history, as well as the glorious prosperity of the Han and Tang dynasties.

But since Huangchao captured Chang'an, he burned down the greatest palace in history, the Daming Palace, completely destroying the city's qualifications as the capital of the empire.

Fang Yuan was reluctant to comment on whether the peasant uprising was progressive, but its harmfulness and destructiveness were shocking.

There is a yellow nest in the distance, which squeezed out the vitality of the Tang Dynasty and made a wedding dress for the anti-Tang warlords and festival envoys in various places;

Recently, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong squeezed out the vitality of the Ming Dynasty and made wedding dresses for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, who were eyeing the outside of the Guan.

Jing Jie saw that he was fascinated, so he asked, "Boss, what are you thinking?" ”

Fang Yuan sighed and said, "When I saw this Xi'an city, I thought of the Huangchao Rebellion in history, these rogues all relied on unrealistic incendiary slogans such as "equal wealth and poor, no food" to deceive the people, and in the end, where are the rich and the poor? Don't pay for food, these rogues go to drink the wind? ”

Jing Jie said, "What the boss said is reasonable, there are indeed too many injustices in this world. However, no matter how unfair the court is, there is always etiquette, law, and bottom line in action, but the rogues only know the destruction without a bottom line. I can't find fairness in the imperial court, but I vainly hope that I can find fairness by following the rebellion of the rogue, but I just became cannon fodder and stepping stone for the wolf ambitions like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong. ”

Fang Yuan nodded secretly at his knowledge, and was about to say more, but he saw a brocade-clothed literati also go up to the drum tower, and saluted Fang Yuan respectfully and said, "I am Shi Zhang, the head of the Qin Palace, I heard that Fang Jianjun arrived in Xi'an City, and specially invited Fang Jianjun to go to Qin Wangfu for a talk." ”

Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, according to the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, the vassal kings of various places could not meet the courtiers, not to mention that Fang Yuan was still the supervisor appointed by Chongzhen to come to Shaanxi.

But now that Sun Chuanting's elite Beijing division is about to withdraw from Shaanxi, it will leave a large power vacuum in Shaanxi, and it is still unknown whether this Qin King Zhu Cunji can take over this power vacuum, gain a firm foothold in Shaanxi, and resist the invasion of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong.

Fang Yuan also wanted to see that this King of Qin, who was about to take on a big responsibility, had some real skills, and he couldn't help but go on this trip to King Qin's Mansion.

Fang Yuan also smiled at this Changshi Zhang and said, "I have been here for a few days, and I have not yet met His Royal Highness the King of Qin, it is also rude to say it, and I ask Changshi to lead the way." ”

Seeing that he readily agreed, Zhang Wen hurriedly led him respectfully until he arrived at the palace of King Qin, which was located in the north of the city.
