In the winter of the fourth year of Dashang Jingyuan, on the 29th day of the 11th month of the leap month, the weather in Anshu County, Jiannan Province was sunny, and the fat man took his two daughters-in-law Song Yulan and Su Yiwen to leave General Huwei's Mansion and came to Changle Xuan, Weiwang's Mansion, and said goodbye to Tang Jiusheng, Shui Ruyue, Ximen Yushuang, Du Ruo and Xu Dongmei, saying that they were going to rush back to Jiangling Prefecture for the New Year. Tang Jiusheng didn't have any opinions, the fat man had been out for almost a year, and it was right to go home and take a look, not to mention that the fat man ran out because of a conflict with his father?

The fat man said with a hippie smile: "My prince, Brother Tang, I don't think you need to send me out of the city, if it weren't for the leap winter moon this year, it would already be the New Year, and the fat man I would have run away with my daughter-in-law a long time ago." We don't do a lot of big things today, I see, the New Year will be over in a month, and you will be in a hurry to go out and toss, you stop and take your four sisters-in-law to spend the New Year at home! After the New Year, my brother will accompany you out to toss again, how about it?"

Tang Jiusheng laughed and said: "Okay, just listen to you, there is still a month to celebrate the New Year, I will stay in the palace honestly, waiting for a reunion year." It's you kid, you ran out alone in the spring, and now you have returned to your hometown, become a general yourself, and go home with two beautiful daughters-in-law, Uncle Jiang is afraid that he will be happy that Beidu will not be found!"

Jiang Fatzi scratched his head with his hand, and said with an embarrassed smile: "The fat man is not afraid of anything else, just afraid that I will go back, the old man in our family has not lost his temper, and it will be a shame if he doesn't let me enter the gate." Brother Tang, the old man of our family has a twisted temper, you don't know, I want to go home now, in fact, I still have no bottom in my heart, I am afraid that the old man will not save face for me. But this year I gave him a long face, and I don't think he would be too embarrassed about me, if I could bring back two grandchildren, well, the old man would definitely forget my badness!"

Song Yulan blushed shyly, gently grabbed the fat man's ears with her hand, and said angrily: "We haven't officially married yet, you are in a hurry to have a son before you pass the door, do you want the faces of me and Yiwen when it gets out?"

Jiang Fatzi immediately jumped up, "What? Didn't you officially get married? Believe it or not, I immediately asked Brother Tang to marry us! I don't believe it, the dignified Wei Wang Chitose gave marriage, who dares to fart? I also turned against him! Fat man, I followed the prince to fight in the east and west, and fought in the south and the north, and I can definitely be called a fierce general on the battlefield, and now the official worships the four-grade general Huwei, who is also a local military officer, even if my fiancée is pregnant, who dares to laugh at me? Even if the fat man goes to visit the Qinglou, they can't care!"

Su Yiwen rolled her eyes angrily, grabbed the fat man's other ear, and said hatefully: "Now I don't bother to care about you, if you dare to go out and hook up again when you become a kiss, see how the two of us sisters clean you up!"

The fat man played Lai Pi and said: "Lady, what you say is unreasonable, you said that you are mixed in the officialdom, no matter whether it is a big official or a small official, which one does not go to the Qinglou to play? If you don't go to the Qinglou to stroll, you are embarrassed to greet people when you go out, and your colleagues also laugh at each other, as if you have a tigress at home! Just like Brother Tang, everyone has always gone to the Qinglou, and he will go with him. Although he went just to drink flower wine and persuade those red people to be good, he still had to go, and he couldn't spoil everyone's interest, right?"

Tang Jiusheng smiled narrowly, "If everyone doesn't go to the Qinglou, it's really not good, you have to let some of the sisters and sisters in the Qinglou have a way to live, don't you? Regardless of whether they are selling their art or body, they have to give a way to live, the fat man is quite good, he doesn't pretend to be a saint, every time he goes, he orders beautiful women, lets people sing songs, and orders a few to do special services, I heard that he can feed half of the brothel alone, such a big financier, which brothel doesn't like it? The fat man has a very loud nickname in the Qinglou world, called the Scattered Wealth Boy. As soon as you hear the name, you know how popular he is, right?"

The fat man said shamelessly: "That's that, I left Jiangling City this spring, and there was a lot of crying in the middle of the city, how many sisters and sisters in brothels were reluctant, and sent the fat man to the ten-mile long pavilion with tears, that scene was too touching, too poignant, so that the fat man can't hold back tears when he thinks about it now, but the fat man can't help it! If the fat man and his eldest cousin continue to wander around the Qinglou for a few days, my father is afraid that he will not tear down those Qinglou!"

Tang Jiusheng smiled and gave Shui Ruyue a look, Shui Ruyue smiled and said: "The souvenirs have long been prepared for the fat brother, and now Dongmei is in charge of these, I'm just a shopkeeper!" Xu Dongmei hurriedly asked the little maid Lin Er to find the steward Cheng Long, Lin Er hurriedly went to find Cheng Long, and several people chatted for a while in the flower hall of Chang Lexuan, and the steward Jackie Chan had already prepared the carriage containing the souvenirs, and the fat man got up to say goodbye, Tang Jiusheng and Shui Ruyue, Ximen Yushuang, Du Ruo and others sent Chang Lexuan.

The fat man said goodbye to Xiahou Lingyu, Xin Zhiping, Cheng Zifei and others, these people are now resident in the palace, and even if they meet, they don't have to go far. Xin Zhiping smiled and joked with the fat man for a while, and then the fat man said goodbye and left the Weiwang Mansion, returned to the Huwei General's Mansion, took fifty light horsemen, pulled two carts of souvenirs and other gifts, and got up and went to Jiangling Prefecture.

Jiangling Prefecture, between Zhongyuan Province and Jiannan Province and Jiangnan Province, is a veritable state that does not care about the three, theoretically in Jiannan, but in practice it is not under the jurisdiction of Jiannan, and the county guard is under the jurisdiction of Jiangnan Province, but General Jiangling is not under the jurisdiction of Jiangnan Province, General Jiangling has 5,000 strong soldiers, is the first-class elite soldier of Dashang, originally a forbidden army, and later Jiang Yongchun, the commander of the internal guard, was demoted, and this army was transferred to Jiangling Prefecture with Jiang Yongchun, responsible for the defense of the southwest region, of course, this army is still under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor himself.

There is not only a Jiangling general in Jiangling Prefecture, but also a Jiangling captain, and there are also 5,000 county garrisons under the Jiangling captain, but when it comes to combat effectiveness, it is really commonplace, and the imperial court does not pay attention to those county soldiers, and usually sends them out to suppress bandits. Jiang Yongchun and his 5,000 strong soldiers were actually the last barrier that Emperor Yin Guang placed in Jiangling, an important town on the border of Jiannan, because he was worried that once Jiannan was lost, there would still be the last line of defense to buy time for Yong'an City.

In order to deal with Yin Quan, the king of Pingxi, the emperor deliberately demoted his henchman Jiang Yongchun out of the capital and stationed him in the important town of Jiangling together with these 5,000 elite soldiers. The city wall of Jiangling is steep, the moat is wide, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is more dangerous than Jianzhou, five miles outside Jiangling City is the official road leading to the direction of Yong'an, if Yin Quan leads the troops to the north, Jiangling can firmly hold this passage, even if Yin Quan bypasses Jiangling, it will inevitably suffer from the enemy.

Yin Guang put Jiang Yongchun in Jiangling, which was really helpless, because the imperial court no longer had many available soldiers. Even if the emperor has the idea, but it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, he can't scatter beans into soldiers, ordinary county soldiers, defend the city, and suppress the mountain bandits is barely enough, it is really to the extent of attacking the field, it is far from enough.

As for appointing Tang Jiusheng as the king of Wei, it was also Yin Guang's helpless move, he didn't think that Tang Jiusheng could play a big role, as long as Tang Jiusheng could contain and contain Niu Mandi in Jiannan, even if he met the emperor's psychological requirements, but Tang Jiusheng gave him a big gift, and served Niu Mandi to Lian Guo, it happened too suddenly, whether it was Niu Mandi, Yin Quan, Yin Chun, Ao Ao and others, or the emperor of Yong'an City, including Tang Jiusheng himself, he didn't expect that Jianzhou would become a nightmare for Niu Mandi.

A small Jianzhou city will actually drag down the dignified Niu Jingshou. Afterwards, Qi Siyuan, Xin Zhiping, Jin Chengzhang and others analyzed the situation in Jianzhou, and the biggest mistake of Niu Mandi was that he should not use the tactic of adding oil, but should concentrate the main force to defeat Tang Jiusheng, who had an unstable foothold. Whether it is in Jianzhou or Anshu, as long as it can break a place, it will be a fatal blow to the Weiwang Mansion, and it will force Lianshan and other counties to fall to the ground full of cattle.

Of course, no one expected such a big battle to happen outside Jianzhou City, and Niu Mandi was too contemptuous of his opponent. Also, Niu Mandi has been operating in Jiannan Road for more than ten years, and a teenage hairy child with a group of management who came from all over the big business, temporarily put together, plus thousands of soldiers and horses that originally belonged to Jiannan Road, what kind of climate can it become?

Therefore, people often lose to their own arrogance, Niu Mandi will definitely hate himself for not being decisive enough at the beginning, so he should give priority to solving Tang Jiusheng, no matter how many shadow guards from the National Teacher's Mansion are around Tang Jiusheng, if Niu Mandi is determined to use superior forces to pile up, he will definitely defeat Tang Jiusheng. But it's too late to say anything now, and it's just hindsight.

In Jiangling Prefecture, in the back house of the Jiangling General's Mansion that looks very majestic on the outside, a big fat man with a full face and beard is sitting in the flower hall drinking tea and chatting with Ouyang Zhang, the group guard. This fat man with a big face is the fat man's father, Jiangling General Jiang Yongchun. The fat man and his father Jiang Yongchun are like carved out of the same mold, the only difference is that the fat man doesn't have these beards. The rest are very similar in body shape, gait, and demeanor. As long as the father and son stand together, even if a stranger sees it, they can immediately know that this is the father and son.

Ouyang Zhang, the county guard, attaches great importance to this Jiangling general, although the Jiangling general is only a fourth grade, but he has five thousand of the most elite male soldiers of the empire, and he was the commander of the inner guard before, that is the red man around the emperor, although he was deposed in Jiangling for a while, but who dares to guarantee that he will not return to the court in the future? Ouyang Junshou is quite discerning, and burns incense in the cold temple, which is more spiritual.

Although Jiang Yongchun looks rough on the outside, he is a person who is both civil and military, you must know, such a fat man with a mediocre appearance can be valued by the old emperor and left to the new emperor, how can he not have some excellent skills? As a military general, Jiang Yongchun is not disgusted with these civil officials, and he is also very willing to befriend them. Jiang Yongchun deeply understands that governing the world still depends on these civil officials.

This county guard ran to the general's mansion every once in a while, and sent some pen, ink, paper, inkstone, jade, porcelain, woodware, and other elegant things at every turn, Jiang Yongchun laughed at them, and even Ouyang County invited General Jiang to Wanyue Tower, the largest green building in Jiangling, from time to time, and General Jiang was also happy to obey. However, a big fat man of more than 200 pounds went to the Qinglou, which still made the red people in the Qinglou "stressed". Not only because of his high position in Gangneung State, but also because of his weight. However, Jiang Yongchun is as good as he is, he will definitely give money when he finishes the work, and he will never be in arrears.

Whether it is the county keeper settling the bill or he settling the bill himself, he can't lose these warblers and swallows in the Qinglou, at first the old bustard was still trembling and didn't dare to accept it, but General Jiang threw down the silver ticket and left, leaving a sentence when leaving, "It's not easy for the girls, this general has the court's money, how can I send you this hard-won money?"

The old bustard of Wanyuelou tried to send someone to send the money back, but the steward of the general's mansion refused to accept it. The old bustard of Wanyuelou was worried for many days, but no one from the yamen or the general's mansion came to find trouble. Since then, the news that Jiang Yongchun never owes the girls money has spread.

So much so that the girls in the Qinglou in Jiangling Prefecture are fortunate to receive Jiang Yongchun, although he is indeed heavier than ordinary people, but General Jiang's reputation for benevolence and righteousness is far and wide, what else can he ask for if he can have such a benefactor?

The fat man has such a father, so it's no wonder that he also likes to go to the Qinglou. However, in the big business country, shopping in a green building, whether it is a literati or a scholar, a martial artist, or a civil and military official, it is all harmless, especially the literati, if there are no one or two good Qinglou girls, they are embarrassed to say hello when they go out!
