The sun rose as usual, and although it was the New Year, it was still cold.

In Xuanfu City, Fan Mansion, Fan Yongdou is in good health, well-maintained, after playing a set of five poultry plays in the courtyard, he sat in the lobby and relaxed, and the two maids beat their shoulders and legs.

At this moment, suddenly the housekeeper hurriedly pushed the door in, and without waiting for Fan Yongdou to scold, he hurriedly announced: "Master, the chief soldier of Xuanfu has news!" ”

The general soldiers of Xuanfu had the most to do with these Jin merchants, so when Fan Yongdou heard this, he immediately asked, "Who is it?" ”

"Qin Yiming, deputy chief soldier of the Shizhu Battalion, was transferred to the chief soldier of Xuanfu, and now he is on the way!" The butler hurriedly replied.

When Fan Yongdou heard this, his brows suddenly furrowed, and he seemed to be talking to himself: "How could it be him?" What can I do? ”

When the housekeeper heard this, he understood that the master was very dissatisfied with this candidate. In the past, the lord could influence the selection of the chief soldier through the people in the court, but now that something happened in the court, the people sent by him could not be satisfied.

Thinking so, he told the news he heard again: "It is said that it was this stone pillar camp king who went to Jingshi. The emperor felt that the stone pillar camp was full of loyalty, so he transferred Qin Yiming to be the chief soldier of Xuanfu, which was a reward! ”

"That's it, I'm worried!" Fan Yongdou strode out, and said to the housekeeper, "This Shizhu camp and Dajin have a blood feud, just this Qin Yiming, his father died in the Hunhe River." Do you say that such a person will be the chief soldier of the Xuanfu Mansion and it will be beneficial to us? ”

"What then?" The housekeeper was shocked when he heard this, this is a revenge for killing his father, "This Qin general soldier is already on the way here, and he also sent an order to let the commanders of the guards, as well as the generals, guerrillas, and garrisons gather at the general army's mansion." ”

When Fan Yongdou heard this, he was slightly surprised, and immediately stood up, turned his head to look at the housekeeper and asked, "Why?" Is there a word? ”

"Yes, yes!" The butler hurriedly stopped, so as not to bump into the master, and then replied, "It is said that the generals are to appease the soldiers who have fled back from the previous rout, according to the will of the imperial court, no one has their lives in hand, and those who do not commit adultery after the will is issued will be pardoned." He's going to revive the army! ”

Fan Yongdou listened, turned around and walked again, and nodded at the same time: "I know about this, but this Qin Yiming has not arrived, so he is so resolute, it seems that he is really positive!" ”

After sighing, Fan Yongdou instructed the housekeeper again: "You quickly go and inform the other seven families and ask them not to make any moves recently." Also, put those food and other materials in Zhongcheng's name as soon as possible. In this way, even if Qin Yiming finds out, he won't dare to rob it even if his eyes are red. ”

Whether it is food or iron tools and other materials, they are the favorite things of these generals. If it weren't for the governor of Xuanfu who could suppress the general army, it really wouldn't be possible to say that Qiu Ba would rob it.

After he finished ordering, he followed again: "Prepare the car, I want to go to Zhongcheng." ”

Not long after, in the yamen of the governor of Xuanfu, Fan Yongdou met the governor Guo Zhicong who greeted him with a smile.

This Guo Zhicong, a native of Puzhou, Pingyang Prefecture, Shanxi, was thirty-five years old in Wanli, and was a Jinshi. In the second year of Chongzhen, he was awarded the governor of Xuanfu.

In the original history, it was he and the Jianyu army who came back from attacking Lin Dan Khan and besieged Xuanfu, and reached an agreement privately under the leadership of Jin Shang, hello, hello, everyone.

At this time, he had only been the governor of Xuanfu for just one year, and he had obtained more wealth than before. When I saw Fan Yongdou, it wasn't like seeing the gold owner, so I naturally greeted him with a smile.

Drinking the West Lake Longjing, knowing Fan Yongdou's intention in a smile, Guo Zhicong immediately smiled indifferently: "Brother Fan Xian don't worry, it's just a martial artist, can you turn the sky upside down." He has a grudge against Dajin, but does he still have a grudge against money? ”

While speaking, seeing that Fan Yongdou was still a little worried, he put down the teacup and continued to comfort: "In this year, leading troops to fight, you must have a family at hand. Although he, Qin Yiming, is the leader of the white pole army, but he is far away from the stone pillar, won't he find another money and food to support his soldiers? It's a necessity. ”

Speaking of this, he smiled and gestured with his hand: "You come forward first and hit him with money." If he is insatiable, or still does not give face, the official will come forward to beat him, and even give him some stumbling is a matter of ease. If he is still disobedient, find a reason to punish him, and sooner or later kick him out. So, can you rest assured? ”

Don't say that the boss of the Xuanfu General Army is the governor of Xuanfu, that is, the civilian officials who go to embarrass the generals, and there are many means. Fan Yongdou naturally understands this, and now that he heard Guo Zhicong's clear statement, he knew that last year's money was not given in vain, and immediately said gratefully: "Xuanfu has Zhongcheng, and the people of Xuanfu will not be harmed by those soldiers. ”

Guo Zhicong was happy to hear this, and immediately said: "When Qin Yiming arrives at the Xuanfu Mansion and comes to meet the official, give him a dismount first, so that when Brother Fan Xian communicates with him again, he will be much smoother." ”

When Fan Yongdou heard this, he suddenly let go of his heart. After he was polite with Guo Zhicong again, he left contentedly.

Although because of the unexpected arrival of the Xuanfu General Army, it will make a lot of things troublesome, but if it can be solved, it will be fine. Fan Yongdou thought so, so he informed the other seven families and those generals of this matter to reassure them.

By noon the next day, the weather was cloudy for the past few months. As a result, even the slightest warmth that can be emitted in winter is blocked by clouds, and only the cold north wind is left howling.

But even so, at the south gate of Xuanfu City, there were a large number of people waiting there despite the cold. Among them, there were gentry in mink coats, and generals in armor. They whispered from time to time, and they seemed to have a good relationship.

Suddenly, a horse galloped in the distance, and when it was close, he rolled his saddle and fell off his horse and shouted: "Coming, coming, handsome is coming!" ”

As soon as they heard this, everyone stopped talking and turned their heads to look south.

Sure enough, there seemed to be movement on the horizon in the distance, and then I saw the pennant waving and the guns in the dense forest.

As a result, the generals and gentry returned to their respective positions, and the distinction was clear. Among them, Fan Yongdou, who was in front of the gentry team, turned around and signaled to the housekeeper behind him, and suddenly, the housekeeper immediately ran back, and at the same time urged: "Don't shrink your head, take out your spirit and play music!"

As soon as he urged like this, the gongs, drums, suona and so on all sounded, the sound was very loud, festive and cheerful.

After the meeting, when they got closer, they could clearly see the white-pole army coming from afar, and the number of them was a little surprising to those who greeted them. It is worthy of being born in Shizhu Toast, and the bottom of this family is very thick!

But Fan Yongdou was very happy, the more family members Qin Yiming brought, the greater the pressure on money and food to return. At that time, even if there is a revenge for killing his father, he must be made to succumb to reality!
