Fang Xiaoyu of the Imperial Palace had been here, and when he walked into the gate of the magnificent Imperial City, a waiter was already waiting here. Seeing Fang Xiaoyu and the others coming, the waiter hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and then walked in front to guide everyone. Fang Xiaoyu followed behind the three marshals and entered the Qinzheng Palace, and in the envious eyes of the surrounding civil and military officials, Fang Xiaoyu walked into the main hall with his head held high. At this time, Xiahou Ying was sitting on the main hall waiting, and when he saw Fang Xiaoyu coming in, he said with a smile: "Fang Aiqing is very happy to come back, I really want to reward you heavily." "The hundreds of officials next to him have said that the emperor is blessed, and he has to be so brave.

As soon as he entered the gate, the emperor called him, and Fang Xiaoyu no longer entered the official station, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "This battle is not my own work. All the officers and soldiers of Ulan City fought bravely to kill the enemy, and there were only more than 8,000 survivors of more than 20,000 people. ”

Fang Xiaoyu is now even a little arrogant, in order to develop smoothly in the future, he must choose to keep a low profile. Therefore, before the emperor said what the reward would be, Fang Xiaoyu first showed that he had no ambition, and clearly told the emperor that I didn't have many soldiers left, in short, I wanted the emperor to rest assured.

Xiahou Ying nodded with satisfaction and said: "Fang Aiqing is so humble at a young age, and he loves his subordinates not to be the first to take credit, it is really a blessing for the Lanfang Empire, the fallen soldiers should indeed be compensated, but Fang Aiqing's merits should also be rewarded." ”

Xia Jun walked out first and said, "I think Fang Xiaoyu's merits are not much better than those of the Imperial God of War Wang Xuan twenty years ago, and it is only appropriate to be named a lord." Xia Jun's words startled Cheng Yuhuan, the strength of the Fang family has continued to rise recently, if they also have a lord, then will the Xia Fang family still have their own good days.

Thinking of this mileage, Yu Huan hurriedly stepped out and said: "Marshal Xia's words are inappropriate, Wang Xuan has made great contributions to the empire to expand the territory for thousands of miles before receiving the lordship, Fang Xiaoyu failed to obtain an inch of land for the empire, and the lord may not be able to convince the public." Marshal Xia Jun snorted and said: "With the ability of Cheng Shoufu's beloved son, the empire's millions of troops will be damaged, if there is no Fang Xiaoyu to turn the tide, the empire may lose more than a thousand miles." For Shoufu Cheng Yu Huan, others are afraid of him, but Xia Jun is not afraid, and immediately blames him without concealing it.

"You ......" Cheng Yuhuan was choked by Xia Jun's words, and he didn't know what to say. There is no way, his son is not angry, not only defeated and died, but also lost his only descendant in the regular army, and even lost most of the militia under his control, and now the Cheng family's power has been greatly damaged again, and the right to speak in the court is naturally much less.

Seeing the two important ministers-for-tat, Xiahou Ying didn't want the Cheng family to be overly suppressed, he said in a round: "Both of them are important ministers of the country, when they respect their own identity, why bother to laugh at the momentary battle of will, Fang Xiaoyu's great achievements this time are indeed enough to be crowned lords, as for where to be sealed, Aiqing still needs to discuss." ”

After listening to Xiahou Ying's painless reprimand, the two loyal ministers couldn't quarrel anymore, and they immediately complained to the emperor. Regarding the reward, since the emperor has agreed to it, Cheng Yuhuan naturally can't refute it.

Fang Rui and Fang Qiong glanced at each other, and they both saw the ecstatic look in each other's eyes. The lord is still decided, and where he needs to be sealed needs to be discussed. However, both of them were from the Fang family, so it was not good for them to make their own requests, they just looked at Marshal Xia Jun.

Marshal Xia Jun saw the eyes of the two important ministers of the Fang family and stepped forward with a slight smile: "Recently, the Japanese country has been growing stronger and stronger, and the borders of the East China Sea are unstable. ”

Cheng Yuhuan listened to it suddenly, he didn't know much else, but this place near the sea is very beneficial to trade, he still knows the way, now so many products in Fang Xiaoyu's hands are selling well, once he has such a good geographical environment and a large number of shipments, it will be repaid, and he will not be rich in a few years, then the Cheng family will be completely reduced to the bottom of the four major families.

This must not be allowed to happen, Cheng Yuhuan immediately stepped forward and objected: "The minister thinks it is inappropriate. Xia Jun frowned and said, "Guarding against border troubles has always been a practice of dividing feudal lords, what's wrong?" Cheng Yuhuan smiled and said: "Of course it's not proper, according to the laws of the empire, the lord is not allowed to have a navy, without a navy, how can Major General Fang resist the Japanese no matter how strong he is?" ”

"This ......" Xia Jun was a little negligent about this question, after all, he was a field marshal, and he didn't know much about naval affairs, he only proposed Luhai County because Fang Xiaoyu wanted an outlet to the sea, Cheng Yuhuan said that Fang Xiaoyu did not have an excuse to seal the counties in the East China Sea.

Cheng Yuhuan smiled slightly, he knew the power of Fang Xiaoyu in the East China Sea counties, and his Huitong Money Village was cut off by Lanting Money Village at the beginning, and he still felt a pain in his flesh when he thought about it. What's more, Fang Xiaoyu and Xiahou Min have such a good relationship, if Fang Xiaoyu is allowed to arrive in Luhai County, it won't be able to grow strong soon.

Cheng Yu said with a smile: "Recently, the Cossack Empire is about to move, and it wants to be unfavorable to our country, and this invasion of the Monte Empire is also secretly promoted, so I think Fang Xiaoyu should be allowed to defend the Cossack Empire." ”

Xia Jun turned his head and said angrily: "My Xia family has been guarding Loulan County to guard against the Cossack Empire for generations, do you want me to change the title." Cheng Yuhuan said with a sly smile on his face that the conspiracy had succeeded: "Marshal Xia is so forgetful, how can he forget that in addition to Loulan County, there is also a county in the empire that borders the Cossack Empire." ”

"You mean Tongshan County." Marshal Xia Jun lost his voice. Cheng Yuhuan said with a smile: "Marshal Xia really deserves to be the god of war of the empire, and he knows so much about the environment of the empire. Xia Jun immediately objected: "This is not good, Tongshan County is located in a remote area, not only bordering the Cossack Empire but also close to the northern subcontinent, such a war-torn place has not even been guarded by the empire for several years, how can it be sealed." ”

Cheng Yuhuan said with a smile on his face: "With Major General Fang's ability, I think Tongshan County will definitely be revived." What's more, guarding the borders of the empire is the original intention of the feudal lords, so why not? Cheng Yuhuan's words can be described as extremely vicious, and every sentence stands on the ground, like a tone that regards Fang Xiaoyu as the pillar of the empire.

Xiahou Feng on the side was a little overwhelmed, he walked out and said: "Tongshan County is too remote, it would be a little unkind to let Fang Xiaoyu go there, but it would be better to let him guard Makita County and prevent the Monte Empire." ”

Now that Fang Xiaoyu's acceptance of the lord is a foregone conclusion, Cheng Yuhuan will not let him find a good place comfortably, he continued: "Marshal Xiahou's words are inappropriate, this time the Monte Empire was defeated, I am afraid that there will be no power to invade our empire within ten years, and the most important thing at the moment is the Cossack Empire." As long as there is a threat from Lord Xia Yuyan and Major General Fang Xiaoyu, I believe that the Cossack Empire will not be able to make any big waves, so that the north of our country will not have to worry about it. ”

Although Cheng Yuhuan's words were suspected of Yin Fang Xiaoyu, they were also reasonable, and Xiahou Ying also nodded again and again when he heard it, he looked at Fang Xiaoyu and said, "I don't know what Fang Aiqing thinks?" Hearing these people's discussions, Fang Xiaoyu's heart blossomed with happiness.

Cheng Yuhuan thought that he needed to face the double pressure of the Cossack Empire and the Central Asian humans in the northern subcontinent, and Tongshan County was sandwiched by the two counties of the empire in addition to these two aspects, and there was a large Hengduan Mountain Range in the west, which could be said to be a Jedi, but the other party Xiaoyu was not like this.

Fang Xiaoyu has always kept the matter of the dwarves and elves taking refuge in himself, so outsiders don't know the way, as long as he relies on the dwarves and elves, even if the goblins don't take refuge in him, he is sure that he will occupy the northern subcontinent within a few years, once he occupies the northern subcontinent, he can not only threaten the Cossack Empire from another direction, but also get a few good outlets to the sea, which is definitely the best choice outside the East China Sea counties, the only flaw there is probably that the population is too small.

Fang Xiaoyu was happy in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it, he pretended to be bitter and said: "The arrangement of the ministers from His Majesty, Lord Cheng is right, the Cossack Empire is the biggest threat to us at the moment, and Weichen is willing to defend Tongshan County to share the emperor's worries, but Tongshan County is sparsely populated, and the minister implores the emperor to allow Weichen to move to the people and enrich Tongshan County."

Fang Xiaoyu's appearance of worrying about the country and not caring about personal gains and losses surprised Cheng Yuhuan very much, and he even began to wonder if he was thinking wrong, why did he always feel that he was being taken advantage of by this child who was only less than fourteen years old. Fang Xiaoyu's words also made Xiahou win a little embarrassed, after all, if he sealed Fang Xiaoyu to Tongshan County, it would be a bit of a loss, but the cost of relocating the population was very high.
