[Chapter 5, Volume 5]

Chapter 563 Chapter 86 The high 'door' is weak

In fact, there was no need for Wei Changying to enter the city to remind Shen Zangfeng that Shen Zangfeng had already discussed with Shangguan 11 about purchasing grain from the south in the temporary sixth department that had been hastily renovated and temporarily used as an office: "Although the Rong people had plundered countless people before, after recovering the imperial capital and Yanzhou, most of the wealth taken from the Great Wei was recovered. Even if a small part falls into the hands of the soldiers, we still have a lot of goods in our accounts. These goods were taken from the Great Wei, but it is obviously unlikely that they will be returned one by one. But if you are afraid that you will be embarrassed by the original owner in the future, it is better to exchange grain and grass with several southern states, what does Eleven think? ”

Shangguan Eleven, who sat down at the head of the green shirt and soft hat, his skin was as white as the moon, and he looked like a virgin, and he said in a gentle manner: "Now the only one who can provide enough food and grass for the army is the south." But Brother Shen should not forget that Qingzhou is also in the south. ”

"I know, but now the grain and grass in the army are unsustainable, and it is impossible to support it without buying grain from the south. What's more, Shen and Su have married each other for these two generations, and if there is no major conflict, the Qingzhou Army will not easily block our grain route. Shen Zangfeng sighed, "Of course, it will definitely not work if it has always been like this, especially since Huoxian is now in the hands of the Qingzhou Army." But Xiliang is far away, and the news of the death of my father and uncle has passed, even if there is no change for the time being, the road from there to transport grain and grass is far away, and the road is not smooth. Besides, Xiliang is already barren, and there has always been only the side to transport grain and grass in and out, and what moves is the foundation that my Shen ancestors have worked hard to accumulate...... Now that there are other ways, it's better not to use them. ”

It wasn't that he spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and only in the morning he respectfully invited the two uncles on the road, and at this moment he began to arrange and guard against the Qingzhou Su family. It is really a large army outside, but the source of food and grass can be cut off by others, which is equivalent to giving people a handle, and putting their wealth and 'life' in the hands of others, even if they are close to their relatives, they can't help but pay attention.

Otherwise, one day the Su family really 'yin' him, as long as the road is cut off, there is no need to continue to shoot. The mutiny of the 300,000 Xiliang Army was enough to make the surviving people of the Shen family's own sect irreversible.

"The only plan now is to support the Wei family." Shangguan 11 reminded, "Although the Wei family majored in cultural governance, in this 'chaotic' world, it is impossible not to 'spend' a lot of effort on the 'private' army to protect themselves. The Wei family is Brother Shen's family again, and I heard that the old lady in charge of the Wei family is very fond of Brother Shen's wife! Why didn't Brother Shen 'extract' some soldiers who were good at training from the Xiliang Army and go to Fengzhou to help the Wei family train a combatable division? And the procurement of grain and grass for our Xiliang Army can also be entrusted to the Wei family. In this way, it is not only a piece of filial piety for a son-in-law, in case anything changes, the Qingzhou army wants to intercept our grain road, and there is also the Wei family as an echo. ”

Shen Zangfeng bowed his head and said, "That's how it should be, I'll let Shen Di do it when I turn around." ”

At about the same time, Su Xiuming was also talking to her younger brother Su Xiuwei about the baggage: "Yanzhou was burned, and the grain and grass of the army could only be transported from the south. Fortunately, although Siam invaded suddenly this time, during the peaceful period of more than ten years ago, our Qingzhou also stored a lot of grain and grass, and now we can also buy a batch from Jiangnan...... Don't worry about that just yet. ”

"But the one I am concerned about is Ming Peitang." Su Xiuming frowned and said, "Danxiao and Danlang both died in the breakthrough, and Li'er also died after asking for a break, and Shen Yongshi and Shen Yongkun are not of great use." Now the Shen family's main sect is weak, and they can almost only rely on Yao Ye alone, which is even more critical than Danxiao and them back then. I don't know if Yao Ye will be able to survive it? ”

Su Xiuwei has always had a good impression of Shen Zangfeng, and with some calculations in her heart, she said: "Yao Ye is quite outstanding, plus he is famous all over the world because of Mu Xiuer, and he has also laid a foundation in Xiliang and the Xiliang army. Although the situation is not good for him this time, he may not be able to turn the tide and sit firmly in the position of the lord. ”

"Not necessarily." Su Xiuming shook her head lightly and said, "He hasn't reached the age of standing yet, and he's too young." And this time, in order to let the army set off as soon as possible, he even personally raised his sword in public to kill several clansmen who suggested that they should set off after they had all their baggage, including his elders! It can be seen that he is still young in the end and can't hold his breath. ”

"The soldiers are very fast, if the Xiliang army arrives in Gyeonggi in the morning or two, maybe my brother-in-law and they may not die in the 'chaos' army, and our father and second brother can also survive." Su Xiuwei narrowed her eyes and said lightly, "Actually, if it weren't for the involvement of the clan, this time on the edge of the imperial capital, if there was a border army coming to King Qin, he would not have fallen to this point." ”

He mentioned Su Pingzhan, and Su Xiuming didn't say anything, just sighed.

That's where the two brothers' conversation ends.

Su Xiuwei left the eldest brother, her face was 'gloomy', and someone called Su Yuwu over, and told him about the conversation between Fang Cai and Su Xiuming, and said with a 'yin' face: "Your grandfather unfortunately died, it seems that your uncle does not plan to fulfill the previous agreement for this reason." ”

The meaning of these words is only understood by a few people in Fufeng Hall - about half a year ago, Su Pingzhan made up his mind to 'hand' Fufeng Hall to the third room, so he also called his eldest son and third son together and announced the result openly.

At that time, when Su Pingzhan recalled the tears of the Su family's ancestors that it was not easy to start a business, and it was not easy for the ancestors of the past dynasties to keep the success, Su Xiuming also shed tears and admitted that he had no way to teach his son, Su Yuliang's talent was not enough to entrust the whole family, and he did not have the face to take over Fufengtang, and was willing to give up the title and the position of the lord to the third room to inherit, and guaranteed that their father and son would have a good life to assist the third room......

After that, although the unaware Qian family kept jumping to find trouble, but for Su Xiuming and Su Xiuwei brothers, they already knew the result and ignored the Qian family.

But Su Pingzhan died in the breakthrough, this time Emperor Xingping rewarded the heroes, according to the secret discussion and agreement of the father and son in the past, Su Xiuwei should accept the Duke of Kangguo - Su Xiuming did not greet and received the title as the eldest son, not to mention, now he questioned Shen Zangfeng's ability outside the words, and he didn't have to think about it to know that it must have been someone from the side branch of Ming Peitang who contacted him and wanted to deal with Shen Zangfeng.

If Su Xiuwei couldn't see that Su Xiuming wanted to take the opportunity of his father's death to seize the position of the lord, he would have been in vain for all these years!

However, after hearing what happened to him, Su Yuwu was very calm, and said, "The wife of the third cousin, the child wants to call Cousin Wei." It's not that the uncle doesn't know this, but he still said such things to his father, which shows that the uncle is still uncertain now, but he just took the opportunity to test it. ”

"Temptation is of course temptation, but it also represents his attitude." Su Xiuwei sneered and said, "Earlier, when your eldest aunt was still there, she wanted to marry us in the room and marry Ning'er to you, and you also knew about this later." Even if it doesn't work out, it can be seen that between you and Liang'er, your eldest aunt likes you more. In addition, your mother's niece and daughter-in-law are your cousins-in-law, and Yao Ye is of course closer to our room than to the big house! Since your uncle covets Fufeng Hall, he must guard against Yaoye, lest he stabilize his position in Mingpei Hall and help our father and son when he turns back! ”

Su Yuwu said: "The third cousin has been taught by his aunt since he was a child, even if he is young, he should not be underestimated. ”

"I also hope that Yao Ye can sit firmly in the position of the Shen lord." Su Xiuwei sighed and said, "Your uncle's promise is said 'in private', and without your grandfather as a guarantor, it is empty talk." Earlier, your grandfather had shown a preference for you, but it was not too obvious. Now that your uncle occupies the position of Changfang and holds the military power of the Qingzhou Army, we don't even have a reason to question it. If Yoshino can spare his hands......"

Speaking of which, this time the three-room meeting has fallen from the bright future of Su Pingzhan when he was alive to the current passivity, and he is also not good and too careless.

Last year, he was ordered to lead 20,000 Xiliang troops to Donghu to help, because he remembered the Shen family's advice to "preserve the strength of 20,000 Xiliang Erlang" - he himself never thought of taking his brother-in-law's 'private' soldiers to fight for the Liu family at any cost - so after being assigned to defend a certain fort, he ordered everything to be stable, and the slightest disturbance would immediately withdraw the whole army into the fort and hold out.

As a result, the Rong people took advantage of this and surrounded them...... Su Xiuwei didn't take it to heart, and the task given to him by the Marquis of Hengzhu Wei Yuan was to guard the fort so that the Rong people would not have to go.

Then it would be nice for him to do it. He took Xiliang's soldiers to fight in Donghu, and he was very unfamiliar with his subordinates and geography, even if he didn't consider the idea of preserving the strength of the Xiliang army, according to Su Xiuwei's thoughts, this situation would definitely be not to seek merit first, so as not to venture into the pit.

Later, the Rong people withdrew because of the demon descending grass, and Su Xiuwei also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he would be able to return to the imperial capital in the near future. But the Marquis of Wei Yuan kept him, saying that he was afraid that the Rong people would go and return, so he asked him to stay and guard for a few more days.

As soon as he stayed like this, he was suddenly surrounded by the Rong people again.

Compared with the previous experience, Su Xiuwei guarded the fort very seriously, and thought that she was doing a good job...... Then the Rong people retreated, and he knew what kind of major events had happened during the period when he couldn't hold out - the imperial capital was besieged and the Marquis of Weiyuan was assassinated! The whole Donghu 'mess' is almost like boiling porridge!

Then when he ordered hundreds of people from the Xiliang army, planning to throw the others to the deputy general, and let these hundreds of people escort him south to Qingzhou to move the rescue troops, it was too late.

On the contrary, Su Xiuming, who was also trapped in Yanzhou, because the remnants of the Xuanjia Guard tried to rush into the city and got the news that there was no one to Qinwang, he actually ventured with Shen Zangfeng to break through and succeeded, and returned to Qingzhou to collect the army - it was a coincidence that he went back, and it happened that Su Yuwu tried his best to persuade the family to flood Zezhou and complete the execution.

The Qingzhou Army, which was easy to get out of Zezhou, Su Yuwu didn't have time to ask for orders to take them north, so he let Uncle Su Xiuming pick up a ready-made bargain.

Although Su Yuwu still went north with the army, there was Su Xiuming, who had been in battle for a long time and was a generation older, and his nominal deputy general was just a cover......

All in all, the situation of Sanfang is very bad now.

No one knew that Su Pingzhan had already appointed an heir, and no one knew that Su Xiuming was breaking her promise.

However, Su Xiuming made a quick decision this time, burning grain and grass, abandoning Yanzhou, and galloping back to his hometown to save his life in the starry night, but Su Xiuwei was very mediocre and incompetent because she was trapped in a remote fort and isolated from the outside world, and was entrusted by the Shen family not to let the Xiliang army lose too much.

Even if there is a Su Yuwu in the third room, it is decisive to drown 100,000 Siamese 'elites'...... But Su Yuwu, like Shen Zangfeng, is most criticized because they are both too young......

After Su Xiuwei knew what had happened during this period of time, she was so annoyed that she couldn't say anything!

In fact, he and his eldest brother Su Xiuming's talents and abilities should be the same!

“…… Before, your grandmother thought about us and took the lead in giving up the secret passage in the secret room. Su Xiuwei's 'gloomy' face was 'dark', and she looked at her only son, who was also 'pale' because she thought of something, and sighed, "The secret rooms and secret passages of other people's houses are all used by 'women', our family...... Your grandfather's proposal is hidden from your powerful people, these people are your grandfather's henchmen, and they are well aware of your grandfather's attitude during his lifetime, and they may be biased towards us. ”

It is not for nothing that the Su family gave up the 'female' dependents who were the masters, but kept this group of subordinates.

The main reason is that Su Pingzhan is not like Shen Xuan, he is old, and he is very worried that he will live for a few years after breaking through - yes, he didn't think that he would die if he broke through, so he didn't leave an exact token or words to designate the third room to take over Fufeng Hall in a hurry - but Su Pingzhan thinks that after the breakthrough, after this bump, it is estimated that he will not live long.

For the sake of his descendants, Su Pingzhan was worried that his branch had been in the court for a long time, but Sang Zi was being taken care of in other rooms. And the grandchildren he wants to cultivate either die early, or they are still young, and they are too late to be sent back to Qingzhou to sharpen and lay a foundation. Although the sons have prestige in Qingzhou, there are many people in the clan who are older than them and more respected than them.

Don't after you die, the other rooms will unite to bully your children and grandchildren, and covet the position of the lord. So as soon as he gritted his teeth, he discussed with his old wife, Mrs. Deng, to leave a group of capable people for his children and grandchildren...... These people have subordinates and slaves, and they all have strengths, and they are deeply relied on by Su Pingzhan.

However, due to his age and position, he was not good at riding horses and could not break through with the team.

Old Madam Deng is already a docile 'temperament', and she is also so old, so she naturally agreed, and took the lead not to enter the secret room, so as to leave a usable humerus for her children and grandchildren.

Now Su Xiuwei is counting on this group of people - they used the 'sex' lives of their brothers' mothers and wives to save them.
