But he said that Fang Jinwen put three conditions in front of me, all of which surprised me a lot. First of all, he proposed that Hexi Road abolish the four state capitals and unify them into one large state, with the imperial court controlling the military power, and the rest controlled by the Hexi Road Xuanfu Envoy, of course he himself wanted to do this position. Secondly, he proposed that his son-in-law Xiahou Lin be the military commander of the new Dazhou, not necessarily the head, but must have real power, and he promised to let the various families on Hexi Road be armed and obediently obey the orders of the state capital. Third, I want to recognize Shi Yong as a righteous brother, the official kind, and give him a deacon, so that he can justifiably give him his second daughter. Since then, the entire Hexi Road has completely fallen into the hands of the Fang family, but he is willing to hand over the entire Hexi armed forces as a price, and ensure that the Hexi Road will be handed over to the national treasury no less than 10 million taels every year. Of course, if I don't agree, he will definitely tear his face and conspire with the Zhao family to flank my garrison army, and there will be no peace in Hexi. I listened to it in a cold sweat, and thought to myself, this Fang Jinwen has a big appetite, since then, wouldn't he sit on the ground with the imperial court and become the emperor of the soil himself?

He approached and whispered:

The adults came to Hexi, in the final analysis, for the sake of men and horses, money and food. As long as you say a word, hundreds of thousands of people on Hexi Road, millions of stones, grains and grass, will be ready immediately. I know that now that Emperor Cheng is missing, the people of the government and the people are panicking, and one-fifth of the state capitals in the world are in turmoil. You are a close confidant of the emperor, if you can successfully drive into Beijing, you will naturally soar in the future. At that time, the old man will inevitably have to be taken care of by adults in Hexi, and at that time, you and I will echo inside and out, and the world will be in the hands of adults. Of course, the old man did not need to cooperate with the government, and now the anti-thieves are flourishing, and many subordinates have also urged the old man to take advantage of the chaos to make things happen, but the old man has no children under his knees, and he does not want to be infamy, Lord Nie, you are the dragon and phoenix among the people, and the old man is willing to cooperate with the adults to get rich and prosperous! I don't know what adults think?

I was stunned for a while, and then arched my hand:

Since the eldest lord has this intention, the official is naturally pleased. It's just that among the three conditions, any one can be agreed, but it is difficult to merge the state capital into one, even if there is a royal order, it must not act hastily, even the emperor himself, to make such a decision, it must be decided after the court discussion! However, the official promised you that the post of Xuanfu envoy can be temporarily replaced by the eldest master, and he will face the saint every day, and then play the Ming Sheng's royal pen to sit down. I don't know what the old man thinks?

He shook his head and said:

Lord Nie is confused! Hexi Road is a plate of scattered sand, the four state capitals exist in name only, except for the garrison has a certain power, other official offices are as useless as temples, the world knows! Now only the old man can unify Hexi Road, that is, Emperor Cheng, and he should thank the old man! Hexi Road used to pay taxes, only three or four million taels a year, and when the old man integrated the four states, he could pay 10 million taels, and the benefits and disadvantages of this are naturally needless to say, for the imperial court, what is more important than the extra six million taels of silver?

I nodded, and said:

Since the eldest lord has this certainty, as long as you can eliminate and integrate all the merchant groups and armed forces on Hexi Road, this official will issue an order for you to unify Hexi Road!

Good! Deal!

Deal!

So we high-fived and swore an oath. Then Fang Jinwen smiled with his hands behind his back:

In fact, the old man originally intended to give his second daughter to the adult, but now the little girl can't speak, and the adult's friend Shi Gongzi cares for the little girl, so he cuts his love. It's not that the old man doesn't believe in the adult, it's just that this official and business-integrated business is really risky, and the old man has to ask the adult to make a proof, so he despises the matter of the son-in-law and Shi Gongzi, and hopes that the adult will deal with it as soon as possible, so that the old man can feel at ease as soon as possible!

I hurriedly arched my hand and said:

Nature! It's natural!

Also, the old man intends to ask the adults to leave a record, so that he can be a witness in the future!

I thought to myself, this old fox, this is clearly dragging me into the water. But at present, Hexi is unstable, and recently I heard that the rebels in Qingzhou broke the defense line and went south to the Huai River, echoing with the rebels in the north. If I don't pacify Hexi immediately, if Anyang really reverses, then the whole of Hebei will be turned upside down. So I took the plunge and wrote down what I thought was a loss of power and humiliation of the country. Fang Jinwen was naturally very satisfied, because he now had the Hexi Garrison as the back-up, how could those small merchants and wealthy families in Hexi still be able to fight him? The Zhao family was still a difficult target to deal with in the morning, and it was not in his eyes at the moment. So he sat down happily, slowly poured a glass and said:

Come, sir! May you and I be rich and prosperous for a long time, and be blessed with both blessings!

I had no choice but to drink the cup hastily, and then hurriedly took my leave. He smiled slightly:

Children are children after all, so careless!

So he ate and drank proudly.

I ran out of the gate, and the two heralds were standing outside, and I looked at them and said:

Immediately follow me to the other side of the valley to meet the people of the Zhao family!

So we rode fast horses and galloped to the Zhao family's camp. I heard that Zhao Minzhen's cousin, Zao Wou-ki, the eldest son of the Zhao family, received me in the big tent. So I stepped back and said:

Big Prince! To tell you the truth, I met Master Fang just now, and he seems to want to be a big family and sit on the whole Hexi. I don't know what your Zhao family plans to do now? As far as I know, you don't have as many men as they do, and you have to rely on them for food and grass.

Zao Wou-Ki was taken aback and said:

Why did Master Nie tell me about this? Could it be that the adults actually deliberately elevate the villain and help the adults to flatten the square family?

I coughed slightly:

Definitely! Just want to know what you think. At this moment, Hexi Road is crumbling, since the Fang family merged with the Xiahou family, the momentum has been greatly boosted, and they control the grain and rice of the entire Hexi, so they have the momentum of dominating one side for a while. If you have already compromised with the Fang family, then the official will not hesitate to give him Hexi!

Don't be an adult! As far as we know, that Fang Jinwen wants to rebel for a long time! The 100,000 people they raised were trained according to the regular army, and the food and grass they had prepared were enough to last for decades! Your Excellency will give him Hexi today, and tomorrow he will tear the earth and become king! When the time comes, the adults will die!

But if I don't give him Hexi, I will also die!

What do adults say?

If you do not help me, and are not in good hands for war, how can you not die?

My lord! In fact, my cousin has already discussed with me that Hexi Road must not be handed over to a certain merchant group or family! Although the Zhao family is not my head now, everyone is in my hands, my lord wants to clear Hexi, and my Zhao family army absolutely supports it! And we have already contacted more than a dozen, and they are not willing to live under Fang Jinwen's control, they would rather submit to your lordship, my lord, there is no time to delay now! You must not be shaken!

Then why are you still leading the troops here, and you are fighting with the Fang family to flank my garrison army?

In fact, there is no way, firstly, I have not torn my face with the Fang family, and secondly, I can flank the officers and soldiers when I enter here, and I can cross the river to snipe the back of the Fang family, it is a place to advance and retreat, my cousin chose here from the beginning, and asked me to lead the troops to wait and see. Since they have already had a showdown with the adult, now they are waiting for the adult's words, whether the Zhao family army is advancing or retreating, it is all in the adult's thoughts!

I was stunned for a moment, and my heart said, no, it's another choice? I kept beating the drum in my heart, and my heart said that there was too little information, and I didn't know which one was true. So I stomped my foot and said:

Ah! You wait here for the order! I'll go back and think about it!

Zao Wou-Ki shook his head, walked over and arched his hand:

My lord! The Fang family's troops have already begun to prepare to pull out the camp, if they don't take advantage of this moment to attack, it will be difficult to defeat them in the future! Adults should make a decision early!

I stood for a long time, and my mind was in a mess. At this time, the herald came over and said:

My lord! Do you have any instructions?

I looked at his concerned eyes, and suddenly it occurred to me that most of the army of the Hexi Road Garrison were Hexi people, and they were naturally very concerned about the fate of their hometown. So I patted him on the shoulder and asked:

Brother, do you want this place to be ruled by the Emperor of the Soil, or is it completely controlled by the state government and live a normal life?

The herald was stunned and arched his hand:

My lord, of course, it is controlled by the state government, and my family should only pay one tax, but now it is necessary to pay two copies, and I don't want to pay three copies! My lord, this Hexi Imperial Court has been out of control for almost eighty years, and there must be an end!

You're right!

I lifted my spirits slightly, so I shook the dust off my sleeve and said loudly:

Herald! All the main forces of the Hexi Road Garrison, ready to fight!

Be!

The herald immediately ran out and got on his horse and galloped away, shouting happily all the way:

The whole army is out! The whole army is out!

Zao Wou-Ki arched his hand and said:

My lord! Zhao Jiajun is willing to listen to the dispatch! Please give an order!

I turned back and said:

Zhao Gongzi, this battle has nothing to do with the Zhao family, I want to surrender the Fang family in a dignified manner, I hope you can understand the intentions of this official!

Zao Wou-Ki half-knelt and said:

My lord! Zao Wou-Ki is willing to join the expedition, and he is willing to take one step! Adult, please!

I saw that he was strong in blood and a talent, so I helped him up and said:

It's a good thing that the eldest prince has the heart to serve the country, but for now, the most important thing is that you have to take care of your people, before Hexi is not stable, your people need to exercise restraint, I hope you can lead them into Handan tonight to protect the people in the city and prevent them from falling into war, and the rest depends on how Fang Jinwen and I deal with it!

In that case, under the order!

So he got up and beckoned to get ready to leave the camp, and I told another herald:

Immediately ordered the deputy governor Sun Li to take the Xiao cavalry battalion and 10,000 officers and soldiers into Handan, and I arrested Fang Jinwen, and asked the metropolitan governor Tian Qi to lead the main force at all costs to prevent the Fang family from returning to the city. I want to take the lead and drive the Fang family out of Handan in one fell swoop!

Wise adults! The kid is going right away!

As he spoke, he sped his horse and galloped away. I immediately mounted my horse and hurried to the dirt slope five miles west of the city to keep watch. After a long time, a group of people flew in, and before the first general raised the knife, I saw that it was Zhao Minzhen. She arched her hand and said:

My lord! Soon after I went down the mountain, I met people from the eldest grandson's family, and they told me that there was only one family who bought their medicine these days, surnamed Fang!

Yes? No way

I was immediately surprised to think, how could Fang Jinwen actually order his own brother to be arrested? Thinking about it again, yes, he had never been anxious about his brother's disappearance, and it seemed that those people did not mean to kill Fang Wen, and the reason why they were injured was because they accidentally encountered a tiger. In order to prevent the scandal of the family from being known by outsiders, it is not impossible to put his younger brother under house arrest, not to mention that this big man wants to be the emperor of the soil, let alone allow the handle to be in the hands of others. But what is the relationship between him and Feng Ruyi? I was thinking about it, and she continued:

When we found out about the situation, Pegasus rushed over to tell the adults that they had met a pigeon on the way, so they galloped over, and I didn't rest for a moment!

As she spoke, she wiped her sweat with her arm and said:

I don't know if it's helpful for adults!

I arched my hand and said:

Good thing you're here! I was still worried just now, and I didn't have a general by my side! Now I'm going to tear my face with Fang Jinwen, and as soon as the garrison arrives in a while, let's go and arrest Fang Jinwen!

Yes? How can that be? Too sloppy, right? How can they easily move their big family and big business? What's more, it's rare that you have such a good relationship, I thought that Hexi Road would be too peaceful soon!

Needless to say! I have made up my mind, that Fang Jin text is not a good thing, and if this official does not succeed today, he will become a benevolent!

So Zhao Minzhen took a few breaths, and the more than 30 knife hands around her also kept panting. After about an hour, Sun Li really ran in front with the Xiao Cavalry Battalion. He was dressed in a military uniform, with a flag behind him, full of style. Nearly the previous arch said:

My lord! There is also a battalion of troops in the last general, and under the leadership of Wang Duwei, we are rushing over, now let's set off first!

I nodded and said:

Soldiers, enter the city immediately!

So I ran in front with a whip raised, and the eight thousand horsemen behind me kicked up a billowing dust. The guards of Handan saw that it was a garrison army and did not dare to stop us, so we ran directly into the city, and the people did not know what was going on, so the city became chaotic. I'll point out right away:

Not far in front of the Fang Mansion, what do the Metropolitan Governors think?

Sun Li arched his hand and said:

If you let a team of people copy to the back, block their retreat, and then attack back and forth, it will definitely be done!

I nodded, so Sun Li divided three thousand cavalry from the street to the mountain behind Fangfu, and we flew all the way to the gate of Fangfu. So I called 500 officers and soldiers from the government and used the regimental card to block the arrows for us. There were eight hundred guards at the gate of Fangfu, and they were all taken aback when they saw the army of the garrison, at this time Sun Li stepped out and whipped:

Fang Jinwen operated illegally, resold the market, maliciously raised the price of rice, and was the enemy of the imperial court, and now the 100,000 troops of my Hexi garrison have surrounded Handan, you quickly disarm, let go of the road, if you block the officers and soldiers to take people, they will be punished according to rebellion, the parties will be killed, and the three clans will be exterminated!

Those people hesitated, Sun Li waved his hand, and five hundred iron cavalry rushed over first, and broke straight into the gate, and the elite cavalry behind rushed in, and the guards at the gate all looked at each other a few times, and at this time a leader shouted:

Our Fang family hasn't been afraid of any officers and soldiers! What do you see? Not yet!

As he spoke, fifty or sixty people rushed up, but as soon as Sun Li waved his hand, a group of cavalry rushed over, and a scuffle broke out at the door. At this time, thousands of people gathered from the Fang family's compound one after another, and they rushed to the Xiao Cavalry Camp before they had time to complete the team. Where do the officers and soldiers of the government dare to go up? They all stood there in a daze. At this time, the battalion of Wang Duwei arrived, and immediately surrounded the place, and in the face of the three thousand archers of the garrison army, the guards at the gate were disarmed one after another. So I, accompanied by Sun Li and Zhao Minzhen, rode across the compound and came to the lake. At this time, a boat rowed on the opposite side, and when I looked at the people on it, it was Shi Yong. He immediately jumped ashore and crossed his arms and said:

Eldest brother! You didn't take the wrong medicine, did you? How could they send troops to attack here? Caidie heard that the officers and soldiers were coming, and she was so scared that she cried just now, I can't persuade you! Now Sanniang is accompanying her, the eldest lord asked me to ask you, what is going on, why did you suddenly turn your face? He also said that there are 100,000 troops outside the city, as well as 60,000 horses of the Zhao family, and it is unwise for the garrison to act at this moment, and it must be the Zhao family who will enjoy the benefits of the fishermen in the end!

At this moment, there was a fire in the back mountain, and it seemed that the Xiao cavalry battalion had broken through the back door, and the Fang family was completely surrounded. At this time, countless horns and drums suddenly sounded in the sky. Sun Li rubbed his hands together and said:

It seems that the garrison army is at war with the Fang family! I don't know how to win or lose!

I exhaled and said:

Rest assured, I still have a new force to be dispatched! Don't forget, I'm giving the order to go out, and the whole army is out! Tian Dudu will be fine, let's solve this place first! Shi Yong, don't worry, I just want to put the eldest master under house arrest and ban the Fang family's property in Hexi, it won't hurt a single hair of their hair, your future wife is still my brother and sister, I still plan to drink your wedding wine, it'll be fine!

He pursed his lips and said:

But if her father broke the law, will he be killed!

I shook my head and said:

I said that if he is guilty, he is guilty, and if he is not guilty, he is innocent. Now go back and tell the lord that he will give up his resistance and come out to see me immediately!" In two moments, I'll give the order to attack.

So Shi Yong stepped on the boat and rowed back. Zhao Minzhen crossed her arms and looked at me with slanted eyes, and found a grim and abnormal face. So she gasped and said:

My lord! Forgive the little woman for talking too much, you suddenly opened the other party's door, I'm afraid something unacceptable happened, right? Now that the outcome outside the city is unknown, you have taken a great risk in this action, and the little woman privately thinks that the gains outweigh the losses!

I ignored her, angry with myself. I thought, what are the three families in Hexi, it is that this Fang family is wrong. The Xiahou family is a gang of water bandits, although the Zhao family has people and horses, they are all salt and iron families, and what they eat and drink is controlled by the Fang family. He is a remnant of the former dynasty, entrenched for decades, if he is not apart from him, how can Hexi be peaceful? If you don't care about it, you have to do it this time!

After a while, a fast horse galloped up to report:

My lord! Governor Tian Du came to report that when the Fang family's Maba battalion marched to Handan, our garrison army quickly crossed the river, caught up with the rear team, and fought with it on the plain fifteen miles away. Zhao Jiajun has not moved!

I glanced back at Zhao Minzhen, then nodded:

Got it! Tell the commander of Handan City to send a team to support the garrison!

So the horse took his leave. Sun Lidao:

Fighting on the plains, the garrison army should have the upper hand, Brother Tian has always been cautious, and nothing will happen!

At this time, the herald arched his hand:

My lord, two moments have passed, and the Fang family has not responded, do you start attacking?

I nodded, and the battalions prepared their boats and prepared to attack. At this time, I saw a bunch of smoke swaying back and forth on the small island in the middle of the lake, and it seemed that a person was shouting there. So we jumped on the boat and rowed to the center to listen, but it was Shi Yong who shouted:

We've got the big man! Big brother is coming!

So we paddled to the island. It turned out that there were more than 500 sailors guarding this small island, and with more bows and crossbows, Fang Jinwen was confident that he could hold it for at least a day and a half. However, after Shi Yong returned, Fang Jinwen asked someone to tie up Shi Yong and throw him in the back kitchen. As a result, he didn't expect that Ye Sanniang was also a master, she easily solved the guards, released Shi Yong, and the two of them solved the armament on the island in a few clicks, so Fang Jinwen had to admit that he was unlucky and became Shi Yong's prisoner. At that moment, the garrison army landed on the island, searched around, and sure enough, they found the dark room, so they found Fang Wenzhong after recovering from their injuries. As soon as he saw me and knew me, he wept and bowed down:

My lord! I know you're here to arrest my eldest brother, please, don't embarrass him, we're really not thieves, we're just the children of the former officials, we really don't have any objections!

I lifted him up and said:

I know you don't. Now that the imperial court wants to ban your family's property in Hexi, I don't think you will object, right?

As long as the eldest brother is fine, everything is up to the adults!

Good! You tell me now, who captured you and how did you get here?

Fang Wenzhong tried to tears:

My lord, after I was arrested by the Zhao family's dart master that day, they escorted me to Hungry Ghost Ridge. It turned out that there were all rebels, and they disguised themselves as dart masters and took me away just to blackmail my eldest brother. But my eldest brother was unmoved, and the rebels locked me in a dungeon. Until one day, a group of guards who claimed to be the capital killed those rebels and rescued me, saying that they were entrusted by my eldest brother to save me, so I was brought here by my eldest brother, and he did not allow me to show my face outside in the short term, so I had to live here.

I thought about it, but it made sense. So I asked:

What are those janissaries like, and what are the leaders?

He thought for a moment and said:

The leader was a man, and they were all dressed in gray robes with cloths covering their faces.

Is there anything that makes the leader different? Or is it an abnormal sound?

Not really.

So how do they prove their identity?

Oh, they showed me the identity of the guards, but it was a little smaller, and they said that they were the Nanya Guards, not the Ouchi guards, so they didn't need the Ouchi gold medal!

I thought about it, the gold medal found in the ashes of the Hungry Ghost Ridge the day before yesterday was indeed smaller than the gold medal in Ouchi, and it turned out to be the waist card of the Nanya Guard! That is to say, Feng Ruyi actually killed the Nanya Guards, or rather, he was in order to find out the case of the disappearance of the Nanya Guards, and when he arrived at the Hungry Ghost Ridge, this matter became more and more strange. So I paused and said:

Is there anything else strange about it, why not tell me about it?

Oh, my lord, I also noticed that their swords were narrow-edged, and they looked very strange!

Oh? That's a strange thing, it seems that the Ouchi Guards use narrow-edged swords, but the Nanya Guards use narrow-edged swords! Fifth Master Fang, now that your eldest brother has been investigated and dealt with by me, here, I will hand it over to you to manage first! The garrison has offended a lot, and I hope the fifth master will forgive me! After I inquire about the uncle, I will send him home in person, and it is inconvenient to disturb him at this moment!

Then I arched my hand and said:

Fifth master, if you think of any clues, don't forget to go to the government to inform the official, and the official will leave first!

Then I beckoned:

Take the uncle away! There is also a housekeeper, please go with you!

The housekeeper flicked his sleeves angrily and followed us onto the boat, so the group left the Fang Mansion and went to the palace. Halfway through, the horse caught up with the road:

My lord! Tian Du Governor is in a hurry! The Zhao family army has now crossed the river and moved to the flank of our army, and now it is already lined up near the hill three miles away, and I don't know what the intention is! The front of our army is now fighting with the Fang family, and it is urgent to get out, and most of the governors ask the adults whether to withdraw from Handan immediately!

I looked back at Zhao Minzhen, she blushed and said:

Don't look at me! I didn't tell him to do that! Damn it! My lord, I will go to the battlefield to see my cousin immediately, and promise to bring Zhao Jiajun back!

No need!

I waved my hand at the fast horse and said:

Returning to the metropolitan governor, Fang Jinwen has already arrived at the case, Handan is already in the palm of his hand, and he ordered people to publicize it everywhere, saying that the imperial court has banned the Fang family's industry in Hexi, and let the Fang family abandon the darkness and turn to the light!

But my lord, the whereabouts of the Zhao family's army are unknown, if they stab us from behind, it will be doomed!

Needless to say! Pass it on as I say!

Saying that, I ignored the advice of the crowd and turned my horse to the front. So the fast horse had to turn his horse's head and fly away a cloud of dust. Sun Li sighed and said:

My lord! Tian Dudu is walking on thin ice at the moment, how is it good?

I looked back and smiled:

You are too worried, behind the Zhao family's army, there is already a team of people watching!

Who's the centaurs?

I let out a long breath and said:

Of course, it's Yun Zhongzi's proud disciple, the fire unicorn Xiahou Lin! Now that he thinks about it, he really deserves to be a master of military strategy, and he has long predicted that the rush of the battlefield will be near the mountain trail outside the river valley plain. As long as the Zhao family army dares to send troops to attack on the side, the Xiahou army is bound to attack from behind, blocking the waist and cutting off the battle line, so that the Zhao family army cannot take care of both the end and the end, and the momentum will be won. In fact, as long as we succeed, the matter of Hexi will be decided.

I stretched my back a little and continued:

The reason why I haven't dared to make a move is that I'm not sure how many layers of evil intentions the Fang family is harboring. In addition, there are doubts about the combat effectiveness of the garrison army. If I lose outside the city, then I will have to run away with everyone at this moment. Now that Tian Dudu can make a tie with the 100,000 elites of the Fang family, he finally reassures me! Let's go, Hexi Road was taken down by me, a little brat!

Saying that, I waved my whip and ran in front, Sun Li shook his head and smiled:

You're so daring! Let's keep up! By the way, Wang Duwei, you immediately take the cavalry battalion out of the city and go to the aid of the Grand Governor!

Be!

So the men and horses were divided into two teams, and I took the battalion to garrison the palace, and Wang Duwei carried a gun, shouted and led the cavalry camp through the city gate. The people of Handan knew that the officers and soldiers controlled Handan, so they went to the streets to watch the excitement, and many people even lit firecrackers. While guiding the men and horses out of the city, Wang Duwei bowed to the people on both sides of the street:

Hexi Road will be too peaceful in the future! Blessed are you! If you have any problems, go to the government and report to the officials! Lord Chincha will make decisions for you!

As soon as he said that, as soon as he clamped the saddle, the Xiaoqi camp disappeared into the darkness, and Handan behind him was full of jubilation.

(End of this review)
