Chapter 190

"The holy decree has arrived! Weihu Hou Fengyang receives the decree!" In the Weihu Hou's mansion, Lord Qin sent Zhou to unfold the holy decree and shouted loudly.

"The minister Feng Yang greets the Holy Decree!" Feng Yang knelt on the ground with a robe and clothes, and behind him, he knelt on the ground densely.

"Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and says: Tiancun is righteous, the gods are virtuous, the Southern Qi is friendly and neighborly, and the alliance with my Great Wei is good, but now Zhu is tired of going out of the mountain, causing the soldiers to burn, the Tiande barbarians, the horses stepping on the Tianguan, the country is doing bandits, burning, killing and plundering, poisoning the living beings, and the Southern Qi monarch sent an envoy to the dynasty to ask for reinforcements. The Son of Heaven said: Heaven has the virtue of a good life, the state of brothers, and suffers calamities, how can I, the Great Wei Heavenly Kingdom, stand idly by? The Southwest Feng family, loyal and good for many generations, guarding the country, and the rock of the Great Wei Dynasty! The mighty tiger Hou Fengyang, the military merits are brilliant, the merit is in the community, and my great Wei is also a good general! The Son of Heaven knows the loyalty of the Feng family, the courage of the Tiger Hou, and the sharpness of the Tiger Army. On the day when the holy decree was issued, Aiqing prepared on the same day, and sent troops to help all within ten days, and it could not be postponed.

Master Zhou's voice was subdued, and he finished reading the holy decree, and said to the wind with a smile: "Master Hou, please accept the decree." ”

"Thank you, Lord Longen, long live, long live, long live!" Feng Yang kowtowed meticulously, and then got up, and behind him, everyone gathered up.

Lord Zhou smiled on his face and couldn't see anything, but secretly he was secretly looking at the expressions of everyone present, but after looking at it for a long time, he didn't see anything abnormal. Whether it was Feng Yang or the civil and military officials behind him, they were all respectful and respectful, without the slightest dissatisfaction.

Lord Zhou suppressed the thoughts in his heart, presented the holy decree to Feng Yang with both hands, and said with a smile: "Master Hou, I haven't seen you for a long time. The last time I said goodbye was the year before last when I was in the court, and it has been almost two years since this blink of an eye, and the demeanor of the Hou Ye is still the same!"

Feng Yang handed over the holy decree to Zhu Guangdong behind him, and said with a smile: "Lord Zhou is also chic, I don't know if I want to go back in a hurry this time?"

Zhou Dadao: "This time I came to the southwest, I may have to bother for a while." In addition to announcing the decree this time, the lower officials also have the emperor's order, and the emperor ordered the lower officials to cooperate with the Hou Ye to prepare military affairs, although Zhou Shen is not talented, the lower officials can still help with this logistical matter!"

Feng Yang sneered in his heart, Zhou Shen, the current member of the household department in Beijing, is in charge of the money and grain in Beijing, is the right and left hand of the meritorious Hou Sima Chenji, and is the cronies and lackeys of Emperor Zhengyang. This time, Zhengyang sent him here, saying that he was cooperating with him to transfer materials, money and food, but in fact he came to monitor.

The Feng family has been in charge of the southwest for many years, and it is true that this time the order to send troops is a great matter, and it will affect the whole body, involving all aspects of the southwest, Zhengyang is obviously afraid that the Feng family will take this opportunity to make a big fuss, so he sent Zhou Shen, the old dog, to watch.

However, the investigation is not broken, Feng Yang is still warm and polite: "The Tiger Army has not fought for many years, and this time the whole army is dispatched, and the implication is very great, and Ben Hou is really a little anxious." If you can have the help of Lord Zhou, Ben Hou really can't ask for it! Lord Zhou has worked hard for days, and tonight Ben Hou set up a dinner party in the mansion to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the adults, and I hope not to shirk. ”

"This ......" Zhou Shen groaned: "Lord Hou is busy with military affairs, so don't break the bank." ”

Feng Yang's face showed displeasure, and said, "What's the matter? Lord Zhou refuses to appreciate his face?"

Zhou Shenxin said, it is said that you are a chaotic minister and thief, and the old man naturally wants to draw a strict line with you, but he still has to act in the southwest during this time, but it is not good to anger him too much. Although he is sure that he doesn't dare to do anything to himself at this juncture, but if he turns his face like this, I am afraid that there will still be many branches in the past few days.

Thinking of this, Zhou Shen smiled and arched his hand: "Since Hou Ye insists on inviting him, how can Xia Guan be so ignorant? Hou Ye rest assured, Xia Guan will definitely arrive tonight!"

"That's good, you are a Beijing official, and it is not good for Benhou to leave you to live in the mansion, I have already instructed the post house to arrange a place for you to stay. Feng Yang looked back at Feng Ziyue and said, "Ziyue, you personally arrange for the Flying Tiger Guard to escort Lord Qincha to the post station!"

"The last general obeys!"

Zhou Shen thanked him: "Then the lower official will leave, there is General Lao!"

"Your Excellency, please!"

Watching Zhou Shen and his party leave with the Flying Tiger Guard, Feng Yang turned around and walked into the hall, and behind him, Zhu Guangdong, Luan Ying and a group of cronies followed.

Immediately, the door of the hall was closed, and the guards on the third and outer three floors of the Flying Tiger Guard were outside.

In the inn.

Zhou Shen looked at Zhao Wuming and asked, "Are the Flying Tiger Guards gone?"

Zhao Wuming nodded: "Feng Yang also seems to know that we are very wary of them, there is no one left in this post house, it is all our people." ”

Zhou Shen sneered: "We are now in the southwest, and we can't fly away." He did this only on the surface, out of this station, there are not all their people outside. ”

He pondered for a moment and said, "Go and call them!"

Zhao Wuming was stunned: "Do this now?"

Zhou Shen smiled: "It's not all the same sooner or later." If we do it now, we can still be surprised, and besides, we don't have much time!"

Zhao Wuming nodded and turned to leave.

A moment later, several guards dressed in the uniforms of the Shenjun Battalion walked in.

Zhou Shen did not shy away from it, took out the secret letter from the box that originally contained the holy decree, handed it to one of them, and said, "Send it out!"

"Yes

Dao. The guard who took the letter did not have the posture of a subordinate at all, his tone was full of indifference and confidence, he glanced at Zhou Shen, and with a wave of his hand, several people turned around and walked out.

"Head, it's the fifth!" said a short, unsightly man in an alley outside the inn to the burly man beside him.

"Are you eyeing it?" said the burly man.

"It's all up to you!" the short man whispered, "These people are all veterans, I think it's either birds or dogs, and it's more likely to be a dog!"

"No matter what it is, we can't let them escape from our dirt's sight!"

Both of these men were secret agents of the Soil Department, and they were ordered to monitor the Qincha guards in the post station, and the birds and dogs in their mouths were the Eagle Detectives and Dog Spy. These three organizations have been fighting in the shadows for some time now, and the forces on that side have all been damaged, and they all hate each other to the core, so what comes out of their mouths is contempt.

"These guys, if you want me to say it, just kill it! The above let me just follow it, and deliberately lose it, so what's the point of doing this?"

The burly man glared at the short man and said, "What? Do you have an opinion? Why don't you go back and report directly to the landlord?"

The short man snorted and smiled, not daring to say anything, obviously very jealous of the owner.

An hour later, several figures returned, into the alley. The faces of several people were a little gloomy.

The burly man frowned and said, "What's wrong? It's okay, didn't the boss say that you should deliberately lose it?"

A tall thin man shook his head: "Damn, these people are really ruthless! Although we deliberately lost them halfway, they went to the main road, as if they were deliberately exposed to our sight, so that we couldn't lose them if we wanted to." As a result, all five of them committed suicide in public! The scene was chaotic, and we had no control over the situation. No matter who they want to connect with, in such a chaotic scene, the people who connect with them will definitely succeed!"

The burly man and the short man were shocked when they heard this, and they looked at each other, both of them seeing the shock in each other's eyes. They never thought that the other party would use this method.

"I'll go back and report to the owner immediately!" the burly man immediately decided: "You guys continue to monitor here!"

"Yes!"

That night, the Hou Mansion held a banquet, and almost all the officials of Fengyang and Shenchuan City were present, but in Beijing, only Zhou Shen and Zhao Wuming were present. The two of them only brought a few guards, and they could be described as going to the meeting alone.

However, everyone knows that at this juncture, as long as Feng Yang is not stupid, he will never attack Zhou Shen and them, but will try his best to protect their safety.

On this night, the dinner was happy, the guests and hosts were happy, and there was a harmonious and peaceful atmosphere.

Because the war preparations were imminent, both sides were extremely cautious and restrained, and the dinner was not too luxurious, the operation was a little simple, and it had already dispersed before late at night.

Feng Yang and Zhou Shen were separated at the gate of the Hou Mansion, and the two of them went to their respective places.

In the post house, Zhou Shen was sitting next to the table, and Zhao Wuming was reporting something to him.

After a while, Zhou Shen nodded with satisfaction, a smug look on his face, and he smiled: "We passed on the news so blatantly, but the Five Elements Secret Department could only watch, haha, it's really ridiculous! Even in your southwest realm, the old man is only using a little means, Feng Yang, what can you do?"

Looking at Zhou Shen's appearance, on the side, Zhao Wuming had a somewhat indescribable feeling in his heart.

Just to send a letter, Zhou Shen did not hesitate to sacrifice five canine spies. In fact, without this method, the secret letter may not be able to be transmitted, but Zhou Shen did not hesitate at all, and did not take the five lives in his heart at all.

Zhao Wuming was born in the military, and he cherished the soldiers under his command very much, and it was a little difficult to agree with this kind of casual sacrifice of his subordinates. However, he is a courtier of Great Wei, loyal and loyal, this time he was ordered to protect Zhou Shen, so he naturally had to obey Zhou Shen's dispatch, and the soldiers took obedience to orders as their duty, even if they were not used to it, they could only obey.

At the same time, in the palace of the Marquis of Weihu.

Feng Yang sat in the study, looking at the secret report that had just been sent by the Ministry of Soil.

"In this way!" Feng Yang's eyes narrowed slightly, and the cold light shone: "Fortunately, the ant hill already knew the content of the secret letter, otherwise they would have really succeeded!"

He stood up, lit the secret letter in the porcelain basin that was still beside him, and stood with his hands in his hands.

"Now that the chess pieces are on the board, let's take a good next game!"

Over the next few days, the entire Southwest was up and running. The Feng family has been in charge of the southwest for many years, and it can be said that the southwest has been completely in their hands, and under the command of Feng Yang, the entire southwest has begun to run in an orderly manner like an accurate instrument. The ultra-high efficiency surprised Zhou Shen secretly, and at the same time, he also understood the reason why Zhengyang was so jealous of the Feng family.

The southwest is an important military town adjacent to Tiande, and the Fengjia has military and political power, and the force value is by no means comparable to that of ordinary provinces. Although Zhou Shen had already expected it, he was still taken aback when he really saw the true military strength of the Feng family. In just three days, the number of soldiers and horses in the southwest has exceeded 130,000, except for the five armies of the Tiger, all cities and counties have second-level army deployments, and this mobilization, the huge strength of the Feng family is suddenly revealed.

Zhou Shen secretly inquired, and the number of soldiers and horses that had now appeared on the document had already made Zhou Shen frightened.

350,000! A full 350,000 soldiers and horses! Among them, there are 150,000 of the five armies of the Tigers and Tigers, which are the best in the world, and the rest of the soldiers and horses are by no means weak divisions.

The southwest has always been a fierce people, martial arts practice, many martial arts sects, it can be said that the southwest has the best military source of the Great Wei, and there are many martial arts people with cultivation in the Fengjia army. Therefore, the Southwest Army's individual combat capability is also extremely strong. To put it bluntly, the Southwest Army has always been the dominant Wei and is also famous among the three countries on the mainland.

Moreover, the army of the Feng family mostly uses the rotation system, stationed on the border in batches, and almost every army has actual combat experience, which is by no means comparable to those inland armies that have not experienced fighting.

These 350,000 troops are only recorded on paper, and Zhou Shen doesn't believe that in the invisible place of writing, the Feng family will not have the strength to hide.

Shocking, unbelievable! This is how Zhou Shen feels at the moment.

The Feng family, relying on a single family and relying on a province, has grown to such a point in private! The emperor's worries and the troubles of the Great Wei are by no means empty words!

Fortunately, fortunately! Tiande's invasion of Southern Qi is a godsend! Although the Feng family is strong now, it does not yet have the ability to subvert the Great Wei and does not dare to openly cause chaos. Fortunately, fortunately, the emperor is far-sighted, anticipating the enemy, and has been secretly suppressing the Feng family for all these years, supporting the Longbow Marquis, and limiting the Feng family to the southwest corner, and even taking advantage of this opportunity to force the Feng family into the Southern Qi Dynasty!

Drive the tiger and devour the wolf, the wolf and the tiger fight, as long as Dawei sits and watchs, sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman!

It's not too late!, Zhou Shen said in his heart.

The southwest is like a rolling wheel, and while running at high speed, Ning Yu has also returned to Shenchuan. He temporarily placed Yelu Yunqing outside Shenchuan City, and he entered the city overnight to have a secret meeting, and the two of them talked for a long time late at night, and did not leave quietly until Tianming Ning Yu.

The moonlight is long, in the camp of the Black Tiger of Torture Wind City.

The curtain of the tall military tent was lifted, and a burly figure came out.

In the past few days, the Black Tiger Army has also received an order, the whole army has gathered here, all kinds of materials, grain and grass have been loaded into vehicles, just wait for the order of Weihu Hou, the Black Tiger Army will be the whole army into Southern Qi.

The burly figure looked at the Black Tiger Army camp full of sparkling fires, and turned around and entered the camp again.

In the tent, above the table, a dim oil lamp as yellow as a bean swayed gently, and a black shadow sat next to the table, staring blankly at the oil lamp on the table.

The lights flickered, his vision blurred, and his mind slowly returned to the evening of two days ago.

......

"General, Lord Han Feng is back!"

"Oh?" the burly figure frowned, "What about people?"

General Han Feng did not enter the camp directly, but sent his subordinates to find the messenger of the end of the world, saying that he still brought a person! ”

"Oh, who?" said the burly figure in surprise.

Han Feng was his cronies, and he was sent to the city on business, but for some reason he brought back a person.

"The last general doesn't know this. ”

The burly figure thought for a moment and said, "Bring people in, remember, don't make a noise, quietly!"

"Yes!" The general who came to summon the message was his people, so he naturally understood what he meant, and there were guards at the camp gate, so naturally he couldn't come in directly. However, with the identity of a general, there are naturally other ways.

A moment later, the tent door was opened, and Han Feng walked in directly with a man wearing the uniform of the Black Tiger Army.

The burly figure saw that the expression of the man next to Han Feng changed, and he said in surprise: "Song Chao, why are you here?

The man he called Song Chao was a slave in his house and a confidant of his father, and he ventured here at this moment, so naturally his father could only send him.

Song Chao glanced at Han Feng on the side and did not speak. Han Feng immediately knew that even he couldn't listen to what the two of them were going to say next, so he retired at the moment.

As soon as Han Feng left, Song Chaocai said: "Young master, the master asked me to inform you, let you go out of the camp tomorrow and get to the ......" He said here and walked a few steps closer, attached it to the other party's ear, and said a location in a low voice.

The burly figure frowned and said, "The military has been busy these days, even if I want to go out, it will take a lot of trouble, what is the matter, I have to go tomorrow night?"

Song Chao said: "I don't know this little one. It's just that the master said that the young master must come!"

The burly figure nodded, the matter of his conspiracy with his father was very involved, and this time it seemed that he was about to talk about it, could it be that there was already definite news there? He pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, you go back and reply to your father, I will definitely arrive!"

The next day, he arranged for several cronies to create the illusion that he was still in the barracks, changed into sergeant clothes, and mixed out with Han Feng who was out of the camp on business.

Immediately afterward, he changed his clothes and went to the agreed place alone.

When they came to the agreed junction, the two men had been waiting for a long time. His men led him into a small courtyard, where three people, including his father, were already waiting for him.

"Father!" he saluted respectfully, and then asked straight to the point, "Why are you in such a hurry to find me?"

The father in his mouth turned around when he heard this, and it was the leader who had appeared several times in the small black house, the leader of the Southwest Dog Pavilion, Shiba Inu!

Shiba Inu didn't talk, but clasped his fist to the strange man on the side, and then turned to him and smiled: "This is the angel sent by the emperor, the emperor's will has been made, our time has come!"
