Someone is going to do something in Kuizhou! And it was also after the news spread that Li Longji had added a court speaker to Zheng Shuqing.

Why? Why?

Zheng Shuqing was a little confused, and he couldn't figure out the brain circuits of those people. Not only was he exonerated (temporarily), but he was also promoted by the imperial court, why are some people just blind?

Fang Chongyong and Zheng Shuqing discussed it for a while, and decided to let Wang Zhongsi and Yang Ruoxu take the initiative to lead their troops to attack the White Emperor City at night!

This sounds, on the surface, it seems to be heart-wrenching, but in fact it is similar to chasing a mouse with an iron rod, and it is an extremely boring job.

In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the White Emperor City was an important military town, and it was responsible for sending troops from Bashu to conquer Jingxiang.

Because of its unique location, on the other side of the river is the capital city of Kuizhou and the Kuizhou River Pass, and the transportation of the Yangtze River can provide a steady stream of supplies.

At that time, there were many garrisons in the White Emperor City, and they used this as a base to radiate all directions, and the naval warships moored on the shore could be said to cover the sky and the sun.

However, with the pacification of Bashu, the pacification of Jingxiang, the pacification of Jiangdong, and the dredging of the Grand Canal again. The Yangtze River transport route starting from Bashu and ending in Yangzhou was activated. The development of the capital city of Kuizhou began to accelerate, leaving the White Emperor City far behind.

Because there was no war, the garrison of the White Emperor City had already been evacuated, and the vacated territory had become a tourist attraction for literati and artists.

Imagine if this is an important military town, can those poets who are full of food and support still be able to run around the barracks in a chic manner, drink and write poems?

Today, the White Emperor City has been abandoned, and the garrison of Kuizhou has been transferred to Wushan County, east of the capital city of Kuizhou, and there is only one military palace left to train government soldiers.

The reason for this phenomenon is very simple, because there are no generals who are willing to come to the White Emperor City (except for those who have been assigned to demote officials), and there is no war in the westernmost part of Shannan East Road, but it is a mess of Cao Yunhuo!

From the overall situation, the direction of the Tang Dynasty's advance is only the Western Regions, and the main enemy in this direction is only Tibet.

There are also two defensive directions, one is the Khitan and Murwei departments in Youzhou; The other is the border with Tibet in the southwest, and the rising Nanzhao.

Among the many feudal towns in the Tang Frontier, several of them were the strongest in attacking the Western Regions in the west, followed by the Hebei Domain that defended against the Khitans, and the weakest was the Jiannan Domain.

In the rest of the places, except for Chang'an Luoyang, the field forces are almost all in a vacuum!

No one cares if there are any white dragons in the White Emperor City! How did the Shu army arrange defenses here during the Three Kingdoms!

Nowadays, the impetuous people's hearts are thinking about how to make money and live a good life.

Not to mention here, it is Yangzhou, the hub of water transportation, and there is no Tang Army in formation. The Tang Dynasty has its own national conditions here, and the elite soldiers are located in the border towns and capitals, and there is no need for regular troops to garrison other places.

On the contrary, after the Anshi Rebellion, Kuizhou rose as a military town, and the White Emperor City was reborn, and it was even more brilliant in the Southern Song Dynasty, standing tall under the fierce attack of the Mongol army.

That's all for later.

This time, what Wang Zhongsi and they want to do is to go to the abandoned White Emperor City to suppress bandits.

As for whether this attack will kill the wrong person...... Zheng Shuqing didn't want to think about this question, and Fang Chongyong didn't want to think about it.

The rule of Datang is to only talk about strength and the right to speak, after all, it is still a fist to speak. If you don't have the strength and the right to speak, you will die in vain.

That night, Zheng Shuqing led the armed people to inspect the city wall on the bank of the Kuizhou River, and he could see a team of five people everywhere in the city, holding torches and patrolling the people.

Fang Chongyong was at the head of the city looking at the firelight on the other side of the White Emperor City, and his heart was beating a drum.

He knew there was a killing over there!

Fang Chongyong felt that Wang Zhongsi and Yang Ruoxu led troops to attack White Emperor City, and it was estimated that it was only the intensity of suppressing bandits, and there should be no surprise.

At this critical moment, Fang Chongyong also found that he couldn't help at all, he was purely a waste, and it would be good to protect himself.

It made him feel frustrated, a sense of powerlessness that the situation was out of control.

"It's coming!"

Fang Laique couldn't help but shout, Fang Chongyong turned his head and glared at him displeasedly and scolded, "What's coming." ”

"General Yang is back, and he is giving me orders with fishing fires?"

Fang Laique argued.

Fang Chongyong was stunned for a moment, and then remembered the code that Yang Ruoxu and Zheng Shuqing had agreed on before setting off during the day.

He didn't remember it himself, but he didn't expect Fang Laique to remember it just by describing it.

The ruler is short, the inch is long, and nothing more.

Sure enough, Zheng Shuqing walked over with a sigh of relief and said to the other party: "The matter is done, go and see who is sacred over there in the White Emperor City." ”

After a while, Wang Zhongsi took Yang Ruoxu with him, and there were less than 100 people, almost all of whom were carrying bloody human heads in their hands, looking extremely terrifying. reminds Fang Chongyong of the bridges in some horror movies.

"These are dead soldiers, they can't beat us, and they all kill themselves in the end. You can take care of this matter. ”

Wang Zhongsi said to Zheng Shuqing in a deep voice, and he didn't have a good face.

Zheng Shuqing didn't bother to say anything, just simply bowed.

Wang Zhongsi walked to Fang Chongyong's side, put a hand on his shoulder, looked at Zheng Shuqing and said, "I will take the people first, and in two days, I will send someone to Wushan County to pick them up." If I missed the time, I sent him back to Chang'an, which was his father's request. ”

Huh? The God of Wealth can't go!

Zheng Shuqing was shocked, and just wanted to rush over to rob someone, but also thought that Wang Zhonghei's identity was not easy to mess with, so he had to give up for the time being.

The main thing is that you can't beat it alone.

He couldn't help but threaten: "This new policy in Kuizhou Jiangguan is all thought up by Fang Xiaolangjun alone, if there is any mess here, he needs to come back to deal with it." General Wang, don't delay the great affairs of the saints! ”

Zheng Shuqing bit the word "saint" very hard.

"You are the assassin of Kuizhou, you can't call the shots in this little thing, you want to listen to the words of a yellow-mouthed child?"

Wang Zhongsi asked rhetorically.

Zheng Shuqing was speechless, he really had no master.

After all, he had never seen such a demonic prodigy before!

Fang Chongyong didn't say a word the whole time, and he found that everything he said seemed to be in vain. The hand that Wang Zhongji pressed on his shoulder was like an iron tong, holding himself down and unable to move!

"General Wang is good."

Zheng Shuqing threw down a cruel sentence and left with many entourages. Now he has no place to threaten Fang Chongyong, as long as the other party wants to leave, he can leave Kuizhou at any time!

"Don't worry, there's something waiting for me to come back and deal with it."

Before leaving, Fang Chongyong dropped a sentence and followed Wang Zhongsi without looking back.

……

In the cabin, Fang Chongyong and Wang Zhongsi sat opposite each other, the atmosphere was very awkward, and neither side knew how to open their mouths to break the deadlock.

Wang Zhongsi himself is a stuffy gourd and is not good at words.

"Back then, your father and I had a drink in the suburbs of Chang'an. I shook the lance with him, and your father lost me twenty. ”

Wang Zhongsi recalled the past and said with some emotion.

Fang Chongyong nodded slightly, he happened to know what a grip was.

This game is similar to a special five-in-a-row, the board is divided into upper and lower lanes, with 12 lanes in each direction, and a total of 24 lanes are gathered together for a chess game. The chess pieces, like the backgammon games played today, are divided into black and white, with 50 pieces in each color.

At the beginning of the game, one side rolls the dice to get the result and then starts from the top right, and the other side moves the same but starts from the bottom right.

He doesn't know exactly how to play and what the rules are.

"Twenty times, you guys are betting so much."

Fang Chongyong couldn't help but complain.

"No, no, no, it's not twenty yuan, but twenty yuan, and your father didn't even have twenty yuan at the time, so he directly took out Ling's birthday eight characters and handed it to me and said: No, Xiaozi pledged it to you, and I will redeem it when I have money in the future." To this day he has not redeemed it. ”

Wang Zhongsi's grim face showed a rare smile.

I'm worth twenty wen when I step on a horse?

Fang Chongyong was stunned, how much his scumbag looked down on himself!

During this time, there are tens of thousands of dollars in the hands of someone else, okay, if you are not tired, the money in his hands can be 100,000 yuan!

Seeing Fang Chongyong's stunned face, Wang Zhongsi laughed and said: "I won't hide it from you, I heard that you are stupid in the past, if you are recruited as a son-in-law, it is not to help you, but to harm you, I am quite suspicious of this."

I don't want to lose my trust to others, and I don't want to hurt you and my daughter.

Now it seems that those are all rumors, and you are not very human.

Now I have been reduced to the level of only a dozen government soldiers under my command, and the military government under my jurisdiction is also useless.

This is not necessarily the worst, and it will be even more depressed in the future, and it is not ruled out that the more mixed it up, the worse it will be.

For the sake of my friendship with your father for many years, would you like to be my son-in-law and help me share the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the family?

If you can't do that, take good care of my daughter, then it's okay. ”

Wang Zhongsi said very sincerely, took out a piece of red paper from his arms, and put it on the table in front of Fang Chongyong.

This is his daughter's birthday!

Wang Zhongji is right, if he continues to be down, then the marriage of his children will become a big problem. Even if her daughter reluctantly gets married, she won't marry a good family.

This is also one of the main reasons why Wang Zhongsi came to Kuizhou Capital City before, he wants to see if his future son-in-law is a fool as Fang Youde said.

If so, then I am afraid that there will be no way to protect my daughter in the future.

It's just that now it seems that this arrangement seems to be a bit aggrieved. Now this prodigy is famous, but he is not a simple person.

Wang Zhonghe's decision to let go of his seniority and make friends is also in consideration of this.

"Thousands of miles of yellow clouds and daylight, the north wind blows geese and snow.

Don't worry about the road ahead, no one in the world knows you.

General Wang, please encourage yourself. ”

Fang Chongyong pushed the red paper in front of Wang Zhongsi again.

This poem is really ...... Amazing. made Wang Zhongsi's thoughts return to the indomitable spirit when he went out on his first expedition against Tubo, and remembered that the robe around him fell under the knife of the Tubo soldiers.

Who knows them? Who remembers them?

Who in the world doesn't know you! How did he write it!

"Interesting, are you trying to comfort me?"

Wang Zhongsi smiled reluctantly, his nose was a little sour, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

He was comforted by an eight- or nine-year-old child!

"Then thank you for your good words."

Wang Zhongsi waved his hand, pretended not to care, and put away the red paper.

Fang Youde's prodigy son is really very assertive. The matter of marriage is more complicated than I thought.

"Has General Wang ever thought about why you were hidden by the sage?"

Fang Chongyong asked in a deep voice.

"That's it, I said, don't mention it."

Wang Zhongsi didn't seem to want to talk about it.

In fact, he still can't understand why Li Longji demoted him to an official, and he directly demoted him to Wushan County! Didn't you just say that Wang Yu's border town strategy was wrong? What's the problem? Now Wang Yu has been dismissed and investigated!

Thinking about these, Wang Zhongsi is also on fire.

"I heard that when General Wang was young, he didn't want to die in battle, and several times he was in danger, and the saint was very worried."

Fang Chongyong didn't shut up, but continued: "Maybe the saint is just worried, afraid that you will fold on the battlefield, so he hid you?" Is this possible? ”

Hearing this, Wang Zhongsi fell into deep thought, neither of them continued to speak, only the sound of the running water of the boat in their ears.

"You may have a point, but ...... It doesn't matter anymore. ”

Wang Zhongsi said disheartenedly.

"If you can return to Chang'an this time, maybe you can make General Wang return to Chang'an."

Fang Chongyong suddenly said with a smile.

"Really?"

Wang Zhongsi stood up all of a sudden, and hit his head on the deck of the cabin, but he didn't feel any pain!

What does it mean to return to Chang'an, for a general, no matter how you describe it, it can't be overstated!

"Those who are difficult will not, and those who will will not be difficult. It is very difficult for General Wang to do this by himself, but it is easy for me, a boy, to do it. ”

Fang Chongyong said in a big way.

Wang Zhongsi suddenly wanted to forcibly stuff the red paper in his arms into Fang Chongyong's hand!

He was silent for a long time, and slowly asked, "Do you really want to be my son-in-law?" ”

Wang Zhongsi's tone was full of resentment, and he regretted it a little, why didn't he settle the matter at the beginning, and he had to listen to Fang Youde's words and talk about it later.

"General Wang, if I want to marry anyone, I can do it myself, and I don't need to rely on my father's legacy. I can do what I want to do! ”

Hearing this, Wang Zhongsi felt the other party's determination and nodded slightly.

People who have the ability are very high-spirited, and they can't be looked at with common sense. For example, Li Mi, a prodigy who can write poetry at the age of seven, is not an ordinary person. Because of his good relationship with Li Heng, Wang Zhongsi has met Li Mi a few times, and he is also impressed by the wisdom of the other party.

That's why he was willing to pinch his nose to help Zheng Shuqing these few times. That's not helping political enemies, but paving the way for his future son-in-law!

"Do you want to know, how did the loss of Kuizhou's tax come about?"

Wang Zhongsi suddenly asked in a deep voice, he didn't want the other party to say it again, but seeing that the other party was so smart, he showed even more sincerity.

"General Wang, please, but it doesn't hurt."

Fang Chongyong always refused to call that "uncle". Before the two sides had a relationship, calling it like this would make Fang Chongyong very awkward, he didn't want to live in the shadow of Fang Youde.

"The tax sent by Zhang Qiu and Qiong was robbed by your father, and I went to answer it, but the order was ...... The saint ordered it to be conveyed. ”

Wang Zhongsi told Fang Chongyong a "meaningless" secret.

"Zheng Shuqing embezzled the Jiangguan tariff behind the sage's back, the death penalty can be avoided, and it is inevitable that the sage will secretly clean up a meal, these things are also reasonable."

Fang Chongyong sighed and said, he had already guessed the whole picture of the matter, but there was no evidence before.

Zheng Shuqing's misappropriation of tariffs was not beaten in the end, but Li Longji is a person who is used to being mean and unkind, only he corrects others, and no one else corrects him. The misappropriation of tariffs is a violation of the law, how could Li Longji be polite to Zheng Shuqing, rob the tariffs sent by Zhang Qiu and Qiong, and take it hard, this is the proper meaning!

"Like, you're not surprised at all, but I'm a little disappointed."

Wang Zhongsi laughed dumbly.

Fang Chongyong sneered, sighed and didn't speak.

Not only did he know that the taxes were robbed by the imperial court's own people, but he also knew that Li Longji and Li Linfu had a bigger bureau in Kuizhou, and this bureau was something that Wang Zhongsi couldn't see, so there was no need for him to talk too much.

Fang Chongyong had a hunch, judging from Li Longji's behavior of asking for more than 100,000 yuan this time, this emperor no longer had any ambition to pay attention to state affairs.

It's a pity that this game can only be put out in the future, and it will be displayed in front of Zheng Shuqing.

Who can understand the itch of brocade clothes at night!

At this moment, Fang Chongyong looked at Wang Zhonghei, who had a calm face, thoughtfully.

He suddenly felt that Wang Zhongsi was actually a golden mountain, which could make up for the piece he lacked the most.

Who dares to guarantee that the Anshi Rebellion will not come more than ten years later?

Do you want to learn some art of war to save your life?

This thought could not be dissipated when it appeared in Fang Chongyong's mind.
