Chapter 105: Tian Feng (Asking for Subscription)
The same thing is constantly playing out in various parts of Anping, and the five county magistrates who were invited by Fan Xiwen to drink returned home and were treated by the patriarch of the family and the family members waiting in front of the compound. Then he was taken to the study by the patriarch for instructions, which seemed to be quite secretive, but in fact, all of them were under Fan Xiwen's control, because there was such a force as Jinyiwei. Pervasive, this sentence was the only request that Fan Xiwen gave to Jia Xu and Wang Fan, in fact, the two of them really did it. The newly established Jinyiwei shrouded the five major families of Anping in his own intelligence network, and the speed of his actions was really unbelievable.
"Hehe, you still want to use the power of the entire state of Jizhou and even the whole country to deal with me, you also think too highly of yourself. Now that Le'an's goods are what they want most, they will fight Le'an for the sake of those of you who have nothing to do with their own interests? It's a dream. Fan Xiwen looked at the information transmitted by Jinyiwei in his hand, and a sneer flashed on his face.
The scholars are the moths of the country, and they are mercenary, and it is really a bit of a misery to not have enough interests to make him stretch out his hands. Although Fan Xiwen planned to purge the dissidents in Anping next, it was not a bloody and brutal killing as these scholars thought, Fan Xiwen used economic warfare. This kind of war in this era is completely an emerging strategy, so to speak, invisible. Just like boiling a frog in cold water, the warriors in the play will not feel some threat, and without the threat, these warriors will not twist into a rope, and their counterattack will only pale and weak.
Boss Cao's wanton suppression of the Shi clan was resisted by all the Shi clans, and that was because Cao Boss's method was used incorrectly. Too direct and too violent methods make these nobles feel that their interests are about to be violated, and in order to protect their interests, these nobles will unite. If Boss Cao is the same as Fan Xiwen, making a revolution without making a sound, then the ending will definitely be another speech.
"Since you have such thoughts, then I might as well play with you." A sneer appeared on Fan Xiwen's face.
Three days later, Le'an welcomed a special guest, who was the envoy sent by Han Fu, the assassin of Jizhou. Remembering that some time ago, he pulled back all the equipment of Han Fu's nearly 5,000 troops at one time, Fan Xiwen was amused, could it be that Han Fu still sent someone to ask for equipment? Anyway, it is also a state assassin history, and he can't even give this meeting gift, which really makes Fan Xiwen, a subordinate, look down on him.
The place of meeting the envoy was set in the lobby of the county office, and Fan Xiwen dressed in the official government and appeared very strongly.
In the hall of the county government, a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe was already sitting there, holding the tea sent by the county official in his hand, and was curiously looking at the layout of the hall.
"Oh, I don't know that the envoy is coming, I regret that the text is far away, and I hope that the envoy will forgive the sins." Fan Xiwen deliberately delayed a little while changing clothes, and then slowed down a few steps while walking. When he was about to reach the lobby, he suddenly sped up, and then shouted loudly, looking like he was in a hurry. It's just that Fan Xiwen didn't know that he didn't even show a little sweat on his forehead, and he happened to be looked at by the messenger sent by Han Fu.
The messenger sent by Han Fu is called Tian Feng, who is also a famous sage in Jizhou, this time he came to Le'an just to say that he was the messenger of the assassination history and did not inform his name, otherwise Fan Xiwen may not be pretentious. Although Tian Feng is not as behaving as Zhuge and Guo Jiajiaxu, after all, he is also the number one person ranked among the first-class strategists in the late Han Dynasty, especially Tian Feng's eyes are quite vicious, and Fan Xiwen's little trick is naturally seen clearly.
"It's okay, Anping is diligent and loves the people, how can you blame the adults below." Fan Xiwen came to Tian Feng's side, and before Fan Xiwen could salute Tian Feng, Tian Feng pulled Fan Xiwen and said enthusiastically. Tian Feng was quite clear about Fan Xiwen's idea, it was nothing more than wanting to hang himself aside, this was a very common thing, Tian Feng had already guessed it. That's why Tian Feng held the teacup, pretending to be curious and looking at the layout of the lobby.
"Hey, Xiwen is in charge of Anping at the beginning, there are still a lot of things that I am not familiar with, and it just so happens that the envoy is here, why don't you advise Xiwen one or two?" Fan Xiwen's words are nothing more than words, this is just polite words, whoever takes it seriously is a fool.
It's just that Tian Feng really took him seriously, and seeing Fan Xiwen's "enthusiasm", he said very politely: "Advice is not counted, but I can share a little experience with adults here." "Tian Feng is actually a Jizhou driver now, and his identity is a little higher than Fan Xiwen.
This time it was Fan Xiwen who was stupid, he really couldn't figure out why the other party couldn't see a sentence that was obviously polite, could it be that the other party did it on purpose? Fan Xiwen put away his contempt and stared at Tian Feng carefully.
"My lord, why is that?" Tian Feng was a little surprised by Fan Xiwen's unreasonable behavior, Tian Feng had also heard rumors in the market that the new Anping did not care much about some secular etiquette, and now it seems that it is quite correct.
"I don't know, what is the reason why the envoy came here this time?" Fan Xiwen said straight to the point.
"This is not in a hurry for the time being, I haven't eaten before I came in a hurry, don't you even want to have a meal for entertaining?" Tian Feng was a little surprised by Fan Xiwen's directness, but after being slightly surprised, Tian Feng reacted, and then said with a haha.
"Lord Thorn Shi's affairs are important, and it will be noon in another hour, and the same can be done at that time." Fan Xiwen didn't pay attention to Tian Feng's words, but said firmly, it seems that he attaches so much importance to Han Fu's affairs and is quite loyal to Han Fu.
Tian Feng's words just now, Fan Xiwen can completely see him as a temptation, as for what to test Fan Xiwen is not clear for the time being, and his intuition tells Fan Xiwen that the middle-aged scribe in front of him is not simple.
"Hehe, there's nothing important about Lord Shi's affairs, let's talk about it after lunch." Tian Feng did not easily say the purpose of his trip because of Fan Xiwen's words, but said tentatively again.
That's right, it's temptation.
Fan Xiwen's trip to Luoyang offended two families who were good friends with the assassin at one time, so that he had to send a large army to chase and block Fan Xiwen. Tian Feng had no choice but to secretly order the captain who led the troops out not to take Fan Xiwen's life, and to teach him a lesson. Who knew that this situation would not be used at all, and Fan Xiwen would clean up all the equipment of the nearly 5,000 Jizhou Army at one time. And Tian Feng saw from here that Fan Xiwen didn't want to be an enemy of the assassin history, so he became more and more determined to accept Fan Xiwen for Han Fu's use, which led to the temptation just now.
Tian Feng was wishful thinking, and Fan Xiwen became more and more suspicious of the envoy sent by Han Fu in front of him. Because I used to read novels often, and there were countless versions of the plot in them, Fan Xiwen almost thought in his heart that the person in front of him was the good old man who assassinated Shi Han Fu, who called Fan Xiwen had never seen Han Fu.
If Tian Feng knew Fan Xiwen's thoughts at this time, he didn't know what he would be stimulated. Is Jizhou so unbearable in your eyes? Do you have to be here to do anything?
"Honorable envoy, so I will forgive Xiwen for not accompanying him, Xiwen still has important things to do." Fan Xiwen put a board, and then threw up his sleeves and prepared to leave, looking very angry. Don't look at it, it's definitely pretending, in order to force out Tian Feng's truth and purpose.
Fan Xiwen's actions were loyal to Han Fu in Tian Feng's eyes, and his heart was hot, look at this. Thinking about what Lord Thorn Shi had done, Tian Feng was a little red-faced.
"Hey, hey, don't worry. To tell the truth, I was testing the adults just now to see if the adults are really as sincere for the people as the outside world rumores. Now it seems that the world does not deceive me. Tian Feng said a little embarrassed, this is a bit hypocritical, but you can't say that I'm here to test you, this will chill other people's hearts.
"Then now the envoy can say that Lord Assassin Shi has something important to hand over to the lower officials." Fan Xiwen pretended to be happy and said, I don't know what he was happy about.
"That's right, a few days ago, there were signs of yellow turban thieves in Zhongshan and Changshan and other places. At present, the strength of the state capital is a little tight, so the assassin wants to transfer some troops from various places to suppress the thieves, so the lord sent him down. Tian Feng saw that Fan Xiwen was "really" acting for the assassin history, so he also said his future purpose.
"Then I don't know how many troops Anping wants to mobilize to help?" Fan Xiwen asked quietly.
"Anping only needs to send two thousand elites to go." Tian Feng said.
Fan Xiwen couldn't figure it out, just with the low-level combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban Army, he could beat the troops of Jizhou and Jizhou to the point that he had no power to fight back, you must know that now Han Fu has 70,000 troops under him. This so-called thief is just a cover, just like Fan Xiwen, but the objects of the two are different. The object of Fan Xiwen's plot is the entire Anping clan, but the object of Han Fu's plot is Fan Xiwen. What Fan Xiwen couldn't figure out was here, what could he do with only 2,000 people? wants to weaken Fan Xiwen's strength, as if these two thousand people are just insignificant to the current Fan Xiwen, and Fan Xiwen is completely consumed.
"Could it be that this guy Han Fu is thinking about boiling frogs in cold water, and today he will mobilize 2,000 people and horses under the pretext of the Yellow Turban Thief, and tomorrow he will transfer 2,000 people and horses under the pretext of the thief, and in the end, these soldiers and horses will all become meat buns and fight dogs." Fan Xiwen thought secretly in his heart.
