"More than a month ago, Fan Jun went to Zhongli with the grain officer to deliver grain and grass, and encountered a surprise attack by the Wei army on the way, and the soldiers and grain and grass escorting the grain and grass were all washed downstream by the torrent...... I just encountered an accident...... Zhao Cao couldn't help but shed tears again: "The lower official sent people to look for many days, but they couldn't find anything, so there must be no bones left...... General Wei, I'm sorry General Chang, I'm sorry General He, both generals want me to protect Fan Jun, the lower officials are incompetent......" Zhao Cao said this, and couldn't help crying loudly, that smart young man, from now on, will never see him again, thinking about the days when he gets along with him day and night, he gives advice for himself, and bravely retreats from the enemy's every bit as if it were yesterday.

"How could such a thing happen?" Wei Rui never understood, why Fan Jun, who had been following He Zheng, came to the side of a grain overseer?

"The prince's army is retreating, the supply of grain and grass is not enough, the prince's urging is tight, and the subordinate officials are also negligent in taking precautions, and they did not send heavy troops to follow......" Zhao Cao didn't know whether to tell him the truth or not, if the prince ordered someone to open the gate of Zhongli City that day and let Cao Fang and his party enter the city, nothing would happen, but what was the use of talking about this at this time? The child would never be able to live again.

"Alas...... I wanted to train him well, but God won't bless me. Wei Rui's heart was sour, and he was very sad.

"Xia Guan has just been to the Fan Mansion and has informed the Fan family of this matter, and the Fan Mansion is only afraid of ...... now" Zhao Cao couldn't go on, he saw with his own eyes that Fan Yuncheng heard the news of his son's death, and his face became pale at that moment, he just hurriedly walked out of the Fan house, but after walking out of the Fan Mansion, he heard the crying sound coming from the mansion...... The only thing he could do was to speed up and leave, out of that sad place.

Wei Rui knew that the Fan family had offended the prince, and Fan Jun would go out with the army, the Fan family was an honest family, how could it withstand such a heavy blow, he wanted to go to the Fan Mansion to take a look, but he thought that the prince in the city had many eyes and ears, and he was afraid that it would bring greater disasters to the Fan family.

"Lord Zhao, do you have any explanation for this letter from General Chang?" Wei Rui suddenly remembered something, he came to Zhao Cao and asked quietly.

"Just let me hand it over to the general, and don't let anyone know. Zhao Cao naturally didn't dare to forget what Chang Yizhi had said to him.

"Lord Zhao, I, Wei Huaiwen, only say this to you, and this matter must not be known to outsiders. ”

"Don't worry, general, what I can't say Zhao Cao, even if I'm dead, I can't say it. ”

"Alas, Lord Zhao, thank you very much. Wei Rui sighed, how could he say that people were dead, but in this situation, he didn't want to say a word more.

He ordered the housekeeper to invite Zhang Shan over, and after Zhang Shan saw the emperor's decree, he was also puzzled in his heart, why did the emperor suddenly use General Wei, the whole country knew that Wei Rui had been sick at home all these years, and he had not fought for many years.

"Lord Zhang, from now on, you have to rush to Yongzhou immediately. Wei Rui's brows furrowed, now that the situation was so serious, he had to plan ahead.

"Your Excellency...... I went ahead of time, and I wasn't prepared. Zhang Shan was a little embarrassed.

"Before I came back from Yongzhou, I had already explained to Xiao Qizong, the garrison of Yongzhou, that you were appointed as a don't drive in Yongzhou, and he already knew that you only need to prepare these two things before leaving...... Wei Rui ordered him to step forward with his ear attached to him and whispered two things.

Zhang Shan listened to Wei Rui's advice solemnly, he groaned for a while after listening, nodded vigorously and said, "General Wei, please rest assured, I, Zhang Shan, will never let you down." ”

"Lord Zhang, only you and I know about this matter, don't even tell Lord Xiao, remember!" Wei Rui carefully admonished.

"General Wei rest assured, even if he kills me Zhang Shan, he can't tell me about it. ”

"Master Zhang, you should rush to Yongzhou immediately. Wei Rui handed over the talisman in his hand to Zhang Shan, "Without further ado, Lord Zhang, please set off immediately, the sooner the better!"

"Then Zhang Shan will leave, take care of the general!" Zhang Shan took the order and retreated, and immediately rushed to Yongzhou according to Wei Rui's arrangement.

Wei Rui looked up at the dim night sky, under the night sky in early spring, the night wind still carried a trace of coldness, he couldn't calm down for a long time since Zhao Cao left, Martial Emperor Xiao Yan used him at this time, there must be no suitable person in the court to send to the north, he has followed Xiao Yan since the previous dynasty, and the big and small battles are naturally not less, but now...... He was a little dazed, this was a battle that he himself had no confidence in, how to achieve an absolute victory, his heart was like a mirror, if he wanted to win, he must let the six princes Xiao Hong return to the dynasty, so that he had no worries and went into battle with peace of mind. At this time, he was extremely depressed, he had too many words to say to the current emperor, if he really said it, he was afraid that he would not even have the possibility of going on the expedition.

"Your Majesty...... Is family affection really so important to you?" Wei Rui sighed softly, but did not say any more.

In Fan Yuncheng's mansion, since Zhao Cao came to deliver the message, Fan Yuncheng sat in the guest hall in a daze, his face was pale and he didn't say a word. Fan Yu cried loudly after hearing this, Ren Yanfei couldn't coax it no matter how much he coaxed, Fan Fu and Xing'er cried together, the eldest son of the Fan family is gone, and Jun'er, who has been sensible since he was a child and is humble and polite to his subordinates, is gone......

A year ago, the whole Fan Mansion had this kind of psychological preparation, but when the bad news came, no one in the family could bear it, when Fan Fu walked to the door of the mansion, he saw that his wife was still standing there, the wind in early spring was still so cold, and the lady had been standing in the wind for two hours, and she had not moved. When the whole family was grieving, only the lady was very strange, she didn't shed a single tear, just stood at the door, without saying a word.

"Madame, it's getting dark, go into the house and rest. He wiped tears from his face and softly comforted her.

"Where are you going?" Ling Xiao asked softly.

"Go and pull a few zhang of white cloth, buy a few knives to burn paper, and ......give it to the eldest young master" Fan Fu couldn't go on, this family still needs to be managed by someone, he has to do something for that child.

"Go back, don't buy anything, don't do anything. Ling Xiao was silent for a while, then turned his head to him and said to him.

"But Madame......" Fan Fu didn't understand what was wrong with Madame, and what she said was not like what a mother who had just lost her child said.

"No one in the family is allowed to wear plain clothes, no one is allowed to cry, and no one is allowed to wear a single white cloth...... My Jun'er is not dead, he is not dead. Ling Xiao whispered.

"Madame......" Fan Fu can understand Madame's love for her son, and under such a blow, Madame makes unusual moves, which is understandable.

Fan Yuncheng walked out of the hall, Ling Xiao had been standing there for several hours, his heart was sad, his whole body was weak, he was fighting to come out at this moment, but there was no word to comfort his wife.

Yan Fei has been standing under the eaves, except for Ling Xiao, the whole family has not shed tears, but his heart is empty, and he can't fill this kind of void.

"Madam, let's go into the house and rest, we will arrange the affairs of the young master. Fan Fu Na Na preached.

"No one is allowed to move, my Jun'er is not dead, he will not die. Ling Xiao said in a low voice.
