Chapter 724: A Loyal Dog
Zhang Fangyan stiffened his spirits and asked tremblingly: "The old man's eyesight is not good, I don't know where I have seen the general?" ”
Li Xin realized that something was wrong, and it was too late to stop it. Wallace's eyes were full of cunning, and he answered Zhang Fangyan's question in just a few simple words.
"Jiangdu, port, attack the city!" Then he pointed his index finger against himself.
Zhang Fangyan really realized something, and pointed at Wallace excitedly, "You, you, you are the Haikou who attacked Jiangdu?" Then he turned his head again, looked at Li Xin with an extremely shocked and angry look, and asked Li Xin to give him an explanation.
Li Xin saw that he couldn't hide it from Zhang Fangyan, so he had to tell the truth and concisely explain Wallace's front and back. Unexpectedly, before Zhang Fangyan could finish listening, he had already fainted in anger. This frightened Li Xin, after all, Zhang Fangyan is old, and he has endured the turmoil of the past month, and at this moment, under the excitement, it is not impossible to have a good situation.
"Pavilion Elder, Pavilion Elder Ge?"
Li Xin hurriedly put Zhang Fangyan lying flat on the ground, and then fiercely picked Zhang Fangyan's people on the one hand, and shouted for people to come in on the other hand, and quickly helped Zhang Fangyan to the military tent where the visitors were placed. Fortunately, after a while, Zhang Fangyan woke up slowly, weakly raised his hand and pointed at Li Xin and muttered: "Li Xin, you, you, very good!" ”
Wallace, on the other hand, stood in the tent as if it were none of his business, and said nothing, for the governor seemed to him to be dumb and incompetent, and if the marquis were to be under the jurisdiction of such a man, would he not be more annoying than a fly? He felt that Li Xin must have wished that this stupid governor had gone to see God earlier, oh no, maybe it was the Buddha who the Orientals had gone to see.
Li Xin glared at Wallace and rebuked in English: "Your Excellency has done a good deed, and you have caused me a lot of trouble!" ”
Wallace shrugged disapprovingly, but did not answer.
"Go back and prepare, after three days, you will be ready to send troops at any time, are you sure?" Li Xin told Wallace to prepare for sending troops. Wallace replied in a tone that was well on his chest: "There is no problem, the only problem is that fly-like overseer!" ”
Wallace, however, knew that it was useless to complain about the misdeeds of the overseers, and that the young marquis would always have to answer with shackles and dancing.
Fortunately, Zhang Fangyan is fine, but due to long-term hunger and fatigue, he is a little weak, and the old man's body is still very strong, and he will not be bedridden because of a few words. Around evening, Sun Ji personally rushed to the military camp outside the city to meet Zhang Fangyan.
When Zhang Fangyan saw Sun Ji coming in person, he was excited for a while, and couldn't help but cry. Sun Ji and Li Xin persuaded for a while before they stopped crying. The reason why Sun Ji came over by car overnight was because he was anxious to understand the situation in Jiangbei.
Zhang Fangyan originally commanded the soldiers and horses of the three towns in Jiangbei, and he was also considered a strong soldier, but for what reason he was defeated so miserably. The dignified governor actually fled to Jiangnan alone, so is the situation in Jiangbei out of control?
Listening to Sun Ji's series of questions, Zhang Fangyan let out a long sigh, "Alas! If it weren't for the fact that Haikou attacked and broke through Jiangdu, the Huai'an army north of Yangzhou mutinied and was in chaos, and the Huai'an army was transferred from Yangzhou not long ago, and it was difficult to restrain his subordinates, and he was beheaded by his subordinates on the spot. The old man went to take refuge without knowing it, and the result was almost bad! But after getting off, there were few guards left, and after the riverside, only the old man and the prefect of Yangzhou were left. ”
"So the seven provinces of Jiangbei have all fallen?" Sun Jiao's voice was sad, and the worst situation was as expected, so he was afraid that even if Lu Xiangsheng cleared the thieves in Shandong, he would also have to purge the bandits entrenched in Jiangbei.
At this time, Wu Zhen, who had been silent beside him, suddenly interjected: "Due to internal strife, the rebels in Huai'an Mansion have been completely wiped out by the Fifth Battalion of Gezuo in more than ten days, and when Wu crossed to the south with Ge Lao, Jiangdu and Jiangdu also fell into the hands of the Fifth Battalion of Gezuo. The corruption of the form shì is really faceless, facing the saint of today. ”
At the point of excitement, Zhang Fangyan suddenly grabbed Li Xin's arm in front of him, and pleaded with his almost crying emphasis: "Zhenyu Hou, Zhenyu Hou, just be an old man begging you, you must, you must immediately lead the troops to the north and step on the north of the Jiangbei Liukou!" Otherwise, otherwise the Liukou has a firm foothold in Jiangbei, and it will be difficult to attack it again...... In this way, in this way, the old man Jiuquan has no shame to face the first emperor......"
Li Xin didn't have an excuse to respond, but he didn't plan to inform Zhang Fangyan of the plan to send troops to Jiangxi now, maybe he couldn't bear to see this old man disappointed again. But Sun Ji didn't intend to hide Zhang Fangyan on this matter, and told him bluntly at the moment: "Ge Lao, don't hide it, the Three Guards plan to go to Jiangxi to quell the chaos in three days, and the Jiangbei incident is only afraid that it will be difficult to achieve in a short time......
To tell the truth, Jiangbei and Jiangxi are equally important to Nanzhili, relatively speaking, if the whole territory of Jiangxi falls, the danger to Nanzhili will be greater. Therefore, proceeding from reality, Sun Jiao was inclined to pacify the Jiangxi Rebellion first.
But Zhang Fangyan was a little hysterical, "Sun Butang, there is a Grand Canal in Jiangbei that connects the Beijing Division, if the canal is not unblocked, the taxes from the south of the Yangtze River will not be able to reach the Beijing Division, and the consequences will be unimaginable...... Ahem...... cough ......" was so excited that he coughed violently. However, he saw that Sun Ji had no intention of changing his mind, and his tone changed from the previous pleading to a little impatient, and he even used a commanding tone.
"As the governor of Zhejiang, the old man has the right to promote the southern Zhili and the soldiers and horses of Zhejiang, and the old man orders you, so that you can send troops to Jiangbei!"
Facing Zhang Fangyan, who had lost his mind, Sun Ji got up silently and said kindly: "The elder is tired, rest early!" ”
Zhang Fangyan had already sensed that Sun Ji was leaving, so he was willing to let him go lightly, and grabbed Sun Ji's robe sleeve.
"The old man is not tired! , Sun Butang, you, do you want to disobey the order? ”
Sun Jiao shook his sleeves and brushed off Zhang Fangyan's hand, "Sun Jiao's governor Nan Zhili and the elder of the pavilion are not subordinate to each other, no big or small, how can you disobey the order and disrespect?" Take care! With that, he brushed his sleeves and left, leaving the military tent.
As a result, Li Xin was left alone in the military tent to face Zhang Fangyan and Wu Zhen, Li Xin saw that the situation was not good, and said goodbye, and took advantage of the fact that the two did not react, and also slipped away. In addition to the military tent, Li Xin secretly scolded Sun Ji for not being authentic, obviously he had already discussed the integration of Zhang Fangyan and Wu Zhen into the city of Nanjing. Now it seems that he is also clumsy in dealing with Zhang Fangyan's aggressiveness.
Sure enough, Zhang Fangyan's arrival brought a lot of pressure and trouble to Li Xin and Sun Ji. Although Sun Ji did not bring him into the city of Nanjing, he and Wu Zhen still went to Nanjing and publicized Wallace's guilt in the political hall, insisting that if Wallace had not attacked Jiangdu, Jiangbei's shape would not have been corrupted.
After repeatedly attacking Wallace, Zhang Fangyan further put forward his appeal and asked the old ministers of the political hall to support him.
"Old man, please kill Wallace! It is difficult for the people to be angry if they don't kill this thief, it is difficult to explain to the court if they don't kill this thief, and it is ...... if you don't kill this thief."
Suddenly, Zhang Fangyan, who was immersed in excitement, found that several important ministers seemed to be a little indifferent to his construction. This is not in line with common sense, restricting Li Xin has always been the consensus of the Chinese officials of the DPRK, and he has heard many times when he was in Jiangbei, the example of Nanjing officials against Li Xin. Bringing up the killing of Wallace himself is a good excuse to restrict Li Xin, why do these people look indifferent?
This situation was far from Zhang Fangyan's expectations, and he couldn't figure it out for a while.
At this time, Xiong Mingyu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry in Nanjing, even bluntly accused Zhang Fangyan of adding chaos to Li Xin, the Three Guards, and Nanjing and even the entire Nanzhili.
Zhang Fangyan's beard trembled with anger from Xiong Mingyu's series of accusations, and he was speechless for a long time.
"You, you ......"
Xiong Mingyu sneered and responded: "What are you?" What are you thinking that others don't know, and Xiong doesn't know yet? If you lose Jiangbei, you can't escape the blame, kill Wallace, you will get revenge, and you don't need to apologize with death when you recover Jiangbei! After all, isn't it selfish for you to ask Zhang Fangyan to kill Wallace? Abolish the public weapon with selfishness, in Xiong's opinion, the person who can be killed is really you Zhang Fangyan! ”
"You, you...... Xiong Mingyu, you spew blood! The old man is dedicated to the public, and the world can be learned, how can you allow people like you to be humiliated? ”
After saying this, Zhang Fangyan's body trembled, he couldn't speak, he only pressed his hand on the table, and kept panting heavily. Nanjing Hubu Shangshu was afraid that Xiong Mingyu would make Zhang Fang Yan angry, so he hurriedly came forward to reconcile.
"Two, two, both of them! Zhang Ge Lao is bent on being seen by the public, and there is no doubt about it at this time! Brother Xiong also made a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue, don't you say? ”
He plans to make a haha, let the two of them each give way, and today's conflict will be resolved. Unexpectedly, Xiong Mingyu did not relent: "Don't change the topic, how could Xiong have made a mistake?" Zhang Fangyan's targeting of the Hou is selfish and abolishing the public weapon! ”
Not only Xiong Mingyu, but even Zhang Fangyan didn't buy Zheng Sanjun's account, which made Zheng Sanjun so bored that he had to sit back stupidly and ignore the bickering of the two people.
said that it was a bickering, but in fact, it has evolved into endless accusations and even abuse between two people. Xiong Mingyu pointed out that Zhang Fangyan dared to take the military action of the Three Guards, which was not enough to succeed and more than to lose. Zhang Fangyan said that Xiong Ming was abused by the helper, and when he was angry, he even pointed out that Li Xin had a heart of disobedience.
Xiong Mingyu sneered again and again: "Why did the elder say this? Now that Jian pulls out the town and captures the marquis in the grass, what kind of faith is that? What is your intention to slander and divide the monarch and ministers in such a way? ”
"You, you, I really can't imagine that you Xiong Mingyu has always boasted of being noble, and when I saw it today, I knew that it was difficult to be famous, what is boasting, how did you become a loyal dog by Li Xin's side!"
As soon as these words came out, Xiong Mingyu's face could no longer be hung up, and he slammed the tea bowl in his hand to the ground and shattered it into thousands of pieces.
