In the middle of the sea, the two gods fought fiercely, destroying the heavens and the earth.

Fan Zhen had already led the army and began to set out, but this time, instead of driving to Los Angeles, he returned to Luohanguan.

Soon, the imperial court's edicts for various rewards were sent without money, and the generals in various armies had rewards.

And in Los Angeles, a large amount of wine and meat was transported, rewarded the whole army, and bought the hearts of the army.

This time, the Son of Heaven did a good job, and he didn't continue to suffer from brain problems.

This made Fan Zhen, who was in charge of the whole army, greatly relieved, and now what he was most afraid of was that Dayu Tianzi had another brain twitch and would have to liquidate it all of a sudden......

In short, this crisis was passed silently, and even when the men and horses of Qingyang Road heard the news of the coup d'état in Los Angeles, they sent people to attack temporarily, it was already seven or eight days later.

At this time, Fan Zhen had already initially grasped the military heart, and relying on the dangerous terrain of Luohan Pass, he easily repelled those Qingyang Dao troops who had no determination to fight.

It also made the Son of Heaven in Los Angeles even more happy and relieved, and a lot of rewards came down, and at the same time, he recruited the soldiers and horses of King Qin again.

At this time, the weather is getting colder and the snow is starting to fall. According to the climate and environment, large-scale warfare is no longer allowed. Even the army of Qingyang Dao has died down and began to train the army, waiting for the spring of next year, and then a life-and-death war.

And at this moment, Fan Zhen was directly promoted to the right general because of his merits, commanding the forbidden army.

Soon after, the guard captain Li Danguan became the nominal highest-ranking official in the imperial court.

Then the general Li Shan married his daughter to Fan Zhen as his wife, and the two sides soon got married.

Fan Zhen became a meritorious hero, and his relatives became hot, and he became a few important figures in the imperial court.

And in a blink of an eye, three years have finally passed, and these three years have changed dramatically.

First of all, it was in the mountains, Liu Yi was silent for three years, except for Liu Yi's subordinate armies who took turns to attack and constantly implement the policy of harassing and attacking the witches of the Southern Wilderness left by Liu Yi.

Then there was the war between Dayu and Qingyang Dao, and in the eleventh year of the vertical arch, Qingyang Dao announced the establishment of the Qingyang Heavenly Kingdom in Juye, and the Great Sage Master was the lord of the Heavenly Kingdom.

When the Emperor of Heaven heard this, he was furious, and changed the Yuan Taiping in the early spring, and once again recruited soldiers and horses from all over the world, intending to sweep away Qingyang Dao, but Qingyang Dao struck first and provoked a big war first.

After the two sides fought a series of battles, and after the imperial court had completely gained a foothold, the war potential that erupted was far from being comparable to that of the newly rising Qingyang Heavenly Kingdom.

Especially when the Confucian scholars and doctors all over the world did not agree with the teachings of Qingyang Dao and refused to take refuge in Qingyang Dao.

In some places where the foundation of faith is good, most of the newly occupied places are faced with endless problems and all kinds of rebellion from the powerful people, both openly and covertly.

What's more important is that after a winter of repair, Qingyang Road's strength has not increased but decreased.

Hundreds of thousands of troops lived entirely on plundering the food of the occupied areas, and as a result, they starved to death an unknown number of people, and even began to lose the support of the people, and the turmoil spread to the lower classes, and even the ordinary people began to rebel against the rule of Qingyang Dao.

Then, as soon as the weather warmed up, a massive plague began to break out, but it was killed in the war last year, so many people died of starvation, and many of them were not buried, and as soon as the weather was hot, it began to rot.

On the other hand, many of the cities were destroyed by the war, and the resentment of the hell was unleashed, and the new resentment generated by the turmoil and war was more and more fuelled by it, so that the scale of the spread of the plague became larger and larger.

Because of this, even the war between the imperial court and Qingyang Dao had to be suspended due to the plague.

The plague mostly occurred in the four northern prefectures and counties, all of which were occupied by the imperial court and the Qingyang Dao dogya.

After all, it was a war with a monotheistic religion like Qingyang Dao.Whether it was the gods or scholars from all over the world, they would not have any good feelings about the heresy of Qingyang Dao.Naturally, they took the initiative to support the Dayu Imperial Court.

In this way, under the influence of one and the other, the power of the imperial court and the power of Qingyang Dao will become bigger and bigger.

However, no one expected that in April, in the direction of Chengzhou and Lingzhou, which were least affected by the destruction of the Qingyang Road uprising, news of the invasion of the northern witches outside the Saiwai came from the direction.

Dayu has nine states in the world, including Qingzhou, Qinzhou, Zhongzhou, Yanzhou, Chengzhou, and Lingzhou, which are distributed in the north of the river, and are also the most economically and culturally developed in the world.

Yunzhou, Yuzhou, and Jiangzhou are in the south of the Great River.

Among the six northern states, Zhongzhou and Qinzhou are in the center, while Qingzhou and Yanzhou are located in the northeast, and Chengzhou and Lingzhou are in the northwest and were the least affected by the Qingyang Road Uprising.

For the Dayu Imperial Court, it was another huge blow.Originally, it was planned to mobilize the border troops in the direction of Chengzhou and Lingzhou to come back to help, but at this time it was no longer possible.Instead, they could only send soldiers and horses from Zhou County to support the border army to fight. [,!] is to the point of being caught in a two-sided war.

Fortunately, then the news came, and the news of the invasion of the witches also came from the direction of Yanzhou.

At this moment, under the emptiness of the army, the witches drove straight in, slaughtered hundreds of miles into Middle-earth, and once besieged the city of Yanzhou Prefecture.

For a while, the world became more and more turbulent and chaotic, and it was hustle and bustling for two or three years.

And in September last year, that is, in the second year of Taiping, because of the war, and the loss of a lot of land, the three states, which basically did not bear the war, had to bear most of the taxes of the original Kyushu in the world.

Even because of the prolongation of the war, the imperial court continued to increase taxes, and the three southern states set off large-scale rebellions.

Although all of them were suppressed, even the southern gentry and powerful began to complain.

It was in the third year of peace that the Son of Heaven did not know who to believe, and began to send important ministers and generals to serve as state pastors, so as to consolidate the world and prevent the centrifugal forces in the local areas after the decline of central power.

At this time, Fan Zhen, who had been promoted to the general of the chariot cavalry, was worshiped by the imperial court as the governor of Yunzhou, and with 2,000 soldiers and horses, he crossed the river and advanced towards Yunzhou.

Yunzhou is located in the southwest, is the world's nine states, the most remote and poor state, the territory is full of mountains, rare flat land, miasma, like smoke, so it is called Yunzhou.

However, in any case, this Yunzhou is also one of the nine states in the world, and the state pastor is different from the original thorn history of only 600 stones, but he is an important minister of the country with 2,000 stones, wearing a silver seal and green ribbon.

The most important thing is that the justifiable commander of one-ninth of the military and political power in the world must be carried out in accordance with his orders, and the hundreds of counties and counties under his jurisdiction and the population of tens of millions must be carried out in awe.

So at this moment, the chariots, horses, and horses, and the state herdsman army walked on the edge of this vast Yunhang Lake, and for a while Fan Zhen fell into a contemplative color.

Fan Zhen, who is nearly thirty years old, has left a short beard on her chin, and she looks more mature and calm.

At this moment, I saw the Yunhang Lake in front of me, which covers an area of hundreds of miles, the clouds are steaming, and the weather is myriad.

"It's really a place where you miss the climate," Fan Zhen smiled slightly and muttered to herself: "Northerners always feel that the land of Yunzhou is humble and wet, and it is not a place to live for a long time.

Just thinking about it, the land yield of Yunzhou in recent years has reached three or four hundred catties per mu, which is almost the same as that of the Central Plains, and even has a victory.

It's just that this news is not widely circulated, and it has been concealed by the local officials and gentlemen in Yunzhou. If it weren't for Fan Zhen's natural news channels, I'm afraid that most people above the court would have been coaxed over!

This Yunzhou is definitely not what most people imagine, it is a poor ravine in the middle of nowhere, with a slight smile on his face.

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone come to report: "The envoy, the people of Yunzhou City, have already come to greet the envoy, just in front!"

Fan Zhen bowed his head slightly, and asked, "This place is still a hundred miles away from the state city, right?"

"Yes, Envoy."

Fan Zhen showed a faint smile and said, "These people also have a heart!"

A hundred miles away from the city, no matter what he thinks in his stomach, but on the surface, he is in awe of his newly appointed state pastor.

That's enough!

"How's Madame?" Fan Zhen asked again.

"Madame is not in good health, maybe she is a little tired from the journey." This steward came back more carefully.

The lady mentioned here is naturally not the daughter of the great general Li Dan, the sister of the empress of the dynasty, but just a concubine.

Fan Zhen's wife is a noble woman, and she left Los Angeles and came to Yunzhou, which is far away from the mountains and rivers, which is almost degrading.

Therefore, Fan Zhen can only come to the post single, but it is not necessarily true to say that she is single, at least she has a room of concubines waiting by her side.

"I know," Fan Zhen looked a little concerned, and said helplessly: "You go and inform Ruomu and let him visit Madame."

When this cronie housekeeper heard this, he showed envy and said in his heart, this Yu family brother and sister really have to make Jun Xinzhong!

Ruomu is the word of Yu Shu, three years ago, he was filial piety, was recruited to Los Angeles as a waiter, and now he is a subordinate of the state pastor.

After explaining the matter, Fan Zhen ordered the frame and walked towards the subordinates who greeted him from afar.

After those subordinates met the state pastor, they hugged the state pastor frame and walked towards Yunzhou City.

When the new official took office, he feasted and drank all kinds of people, and he didn't stop until after the change.

Fan Zhen remembered his wife's body at this time, and under the guidance of his subordinates, he came to the backyard of the state pastor's mansion.

The housekeeper in this mansion smiled: "Envoy, there is no state pastor in Yunzhou, so there ......is no state pastor's mansion.

Although the power in the hands of the assassin and the state minister seems to be similar, a clerk who is only 600 stone is nominally supervising the affairs of the state and county.

And the state pastor, but the lord of a state, the official with a silver seal and a blue ribbon.

However, Fan Zhen just smiled faintly when she heard this, in fact, this Thorn Shi Mansion covers an area of more than ten acres, and it doesn't look very conspicuous on the outside, but it is very exquisite.

Don't say that Fan Zhen's mansion in Los Angeles can't be compared, even the mansions of many court secretaries can't be compared.

I came to a separate courtyard, the blue brick paving of one color, and when I entered the hall, I saw the floor paved with oil and shiny. Yu Shu was sitting in the outer hall in a daze.

When Fan Zhen saw it, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Ah Shu, they are all six hundred stone officials, how can they still be so stupid?"

Yu Shu raised his head and smiled, and shouted happily: "Hanzhang...... Envoy, small silver...... Madame, she's overjoyed!"

Fan Zhen was about to make fun of Yu Shu's two sentences, and suddenly heard this sentence, and his heart was suddenly shocked.

"Quick, let me take a look!"

"The doctor is still seeing a doctor...... Yu Shu didn't finish speaking, and saw that Fan Zhen had rushed in.

Yu Shu smiled, thinking in his heart, even I, who only got married last year, have already become a father.However, I remember that Hanzhang already has two sons......

I have been married to the Miss Li family for more than three years, and I have never been pregnant.

The royal family has always had a difficult heir, and it has been extremely difficult to give birth to a prince in successive generations.

But Fan Zhen's family has never been pregnant, which makes people have different opinions.Many malicious slanders.Just say that the Li sisters are infertile hens...... I don't know how much malice and intrigue are hidden in it.

Thinking of this, Yu Shu also shuddered a little, sighed secretly in his heart, thinking that he didn't know whether it was right or wrong to give Xiaoyin to Hanzhang in the first place.

Fan Zhen rushed into the room, and immediately alarmed the doctors and maids, who saluted one after another, and shouted in a mess: "Meet the envoy ......."

"Congratulations to the envoy!"

Yu Shu nodded with a smile and asked a few words about his condition. The doctor had a very good look, said a few pleasant words, and quickly said goodbye.

Yu Yin's face was full of happiness with a faint smile, touching her belly.She had already given birth to a daughter for Fan Zhen, and this was her second child.

"The jade pendant for you, have you always carried it close to you?" Fan Zhen came to the bed, gently took Yu Yin's hand, and asked softly.

"It's not like you haven't seen it with you...... I didn't dare to take it off when I slept......" Yu Yin smiled and took out a jade pendant from his chest.

Fan Zhen laughed: "Okay, it's really my Qilin'er, waiting for him to be born in the future, I will name him Fan Yi."

Yu Yin's face turned pale suddenly: "Envoy whispered, if this word spreads, the lives of my mother and son ......"

Fan Zhen was furious, but lowered her voice and said, "Don't worry, no one can harm you!"

said so, but the voice still involuntarily suppressed.

This big family and the palace are general, in order to compete for favor and succession, a qiē means are used to the extreme, and his wife is big and powerful.

Even in Yunzhou, thousands of miles away, Fan Zhen didn't dare to guarantee how many people around him were Li's eyeliner.

"You just have to rest assured, you will take care of your body, give birth to the child well, I will let Ah Shu take care of your mother and son, this is the ...... of Yunzhou after all."

"Yes," Yu Yin with a gentle smile, suddenly a little embarrassed, said: "I miss home, I want to come to Fengshan, I want to come to Fengli, I don't know how my mother is, and the shrine, I want to go to worship the gods, please bless my child to grow up safely......"

Fan Zhen smiled, only feeling that there was peace and tranquility in his heart, which is not found anywhere else. He said: "You can rest assured, I will tour the whole state after a while, and I will send you to Huiling County first! You will live there for a while......

"Okay!" Yu Yin smiled happily, very happy.I haven't been home for three or four years.I really miss it.Yu's mother has always treated her well, as if she were her own daughter.

Before he knew it, Yu Yinshen was sleepy, so he fell asleep.

Fan Zhen stood up slowly, her face solemn, with an indescribable complexity.

After spitting out all kinds of feelings for a long time, Fan Zhen walked out of the door and commanded the maids outside: "If Madame has any mistakes, you don't want to live......"

After scaring those maids, Fan Zhen came to the outer hall, sat next to Yu Shu, and ordered: "You also move to the courtyard next to this place to live, and take care of Xiaoyin nearby."

Yu Shu was stunned: "This is not very good...... No, I mean I don't need it.After entering the city, I saw that many Mai people were preaching the teachings of the Earth God Monarch, and even in this state city, there was also a Earth God Monarch Shrine.I think the Earth God Monarch will definitely bless Xiao Yin...... We are all people from the foot of Fenglai Mountain, and the Divine Monarch is the most nostalgic!"

Hearing this news, Fan Zhen's heart was slightly relieved.Since there is Liu Yi's shrine, Liu Yi has great power here, as long as the ghosts and gods are sent to guard day and night, the danger is much smaller.

This turns the mind in a different direction. [,!]: "By the way, are you familiar with Shen Tuhu from Donghe County?"

The envoy asked......" Yu Shu was a little confused, but still said: "I have met a few times, but I can't say that I am too familiar.......

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but react all at once: "What do you want?"

"After all, everyone is an old man, and they have a friendship." Fan Zhen smiled faintly: "Under my state shepherd, there is still a shortage of generals."

"Yes......" Yu Shu said happily: "Moreover, the soldiers and horses brought by Shen Tuhu are very elite, and the combat effectiveness is extremely high.

Fan Zhen smiled: "I didn't expect Ah Shu to know this now.That's right.That's what it means.Although I am a state pastor sent by the imperial court, I am a newcomer and have a shallow foundation.These subordinate officials are very wary of me......

He did not hide it from Yu Shu: "The imperial court has been in a tight war in the past two years, and the expenses are huge.

However, Yunzhou has been blessed by the gods of the earth over the years, and the yield per mu has been increasing, and it has caught up with the northern states, and even surpassed.

It can be said that when I take office at this time, I am naturally very jealous of Yunzhou."

The imperial court sent the state pastor, a large reason is naturally that the tax collection in various places is insufficient, so the subordinate high-ranking and powerful ministers are sent to sit in the town and increase the increase in revenue.

Therefore, being feared by this local official is the simplest thing. If Liu Yi is here, maybe he will sigh that local protectionism is really ubiquitous!

Yu Shu asked, "So what does the envoy think?"

Fan Zhen smiled slightly and said: "I am an important minister of the imperial court, so I should naturally serve the imperial court...... The royal road is impartial!"

While he was talking, someone came in and whispered: "Yu Jun, someone who claims to be the old man of your family has sent a letter......!

"Oh, take it and take a look!" At this time, it was sent and said that it was an old man......

Although the Yu family is in Donghe County, Yunzhou, the Yu family is just a local tyrant.

And they have just taken office? This road is far away, and the news is blocked, and I am afraid that no one in my hometown will know that Yu Shu has returned.

Hence the strange arrival of this epistle.

Therefore, when Yu Shu saw it, he shouted happily: "Envoy, this is sent by Shen Tuhu!" (to be continued)
