Fu Song

Chapter 538
Kuizhou Road was Xiao Cheng's first stop when he entered Qianzhou.

At that time, Qianzhou was still a mansion under Kuizhou Road. As Qianzhou signed the contract, the first thing Xiao Cheng did when he took office was to visit Li Fang, who was the transfer envoy of Kuizhou Road and the leader of Kuizhou Road.

It was also here that Xiao Cheng met Yang Quan from the Yang family in Bozhou and Tian Yi from the Tian family in Sizhou.

It was also with the help of these two people that Xiao Cheng started his vigorous career of expanding borders in Qianzhou in the following years.

Today, Yang Quan has grown from a marginal child who is not valued by the Yang family to the head of the Yang family and is in charge of the Zunyi Mansion, while Tian Yi is a judge in the Futai Mansion on Guizhou Road, in charge of wealth. up.

However, the fate of Li Fang, the top leader of Kuizhou Road in those days, made people sigh.

Because of Xiao Cheng's success in Qianzhou, the imperial court was quite embarrassed.

You say this guy is a traitor, right? He is opening up the territory for you in the Song Dynasty, with a map of the territory and a list of Ding households. He sent it to the capital according to the rules, and he also pays a tax every year. Although it is only symbolic, but It's good to have this attitude.

In addition, Xiao Cheng spent money to hire a group of literati and writers to be his advocates, which made Xiao Cheng's good reputation known to the world, and made the court even more helpless against him.

Therefore, the emperor took his anger out on Li Fang.

After Li Fang became an official, he originally wanted to get a good title of Duke, but he didn't get anything.

If it was just like this, it would be fine. Later, Ma Xing angered the officials, and the officials took away the post of comfort envoy of Hebei Road. They couldn't find anyone to take over for a while, so Chen Gui, the Privy Council, recommended Li Fang. Zhibing.

But Li Fang received a warning from his nephew Li Ge, and the news of Li Ge came from Xiao Cheng's judgment on the Hebei border, and Li Fang still very much approved of Xiao Cheng's judgment.

But the official's order cannot be disobeyed. After all, the official has been angered once, and if he provokes the official's anger again, the end will be bad.

So Li Fang procrastinated and found all kinds of excuses not to take up the post.

This delay directly dragged on to the large-scale invasion of the Liao Kingdom. Ma Xing died in battle and took office, and Hebei fell across the board.

Li Fang had saved his life and returned.

If he happily went to Hebei to take up the post as soon as he received the appointment, it would not be Ma Xing but him who died there.

But what he didn't expect at that time was that what happened later was much more terrifying than his death in office.

Liao Army Commander Yun went straight in and surrounded Tokyo, while Li Fang and his family were surrounded in Tokyo and did not escape.

With the destruction of Tokyo, families like Li Fang were all captured by the Liao people.

Today's Kuizhou Road Transit Envoy is Chen Qun and Chen Zigong, the judges of Kuizhou Road.

Now, he is standing on the wharf of Fuling, watching the warships of the Wujiang Navy enter the wharf one after another. Dozens of ships docked and filled the small Fuling wharf to the brim. , is just a vanguard, the real big force will arrive here in the next few days.

A total of [-] Guizhou Road troops will first arrive at Jinghu North Road along the waterway, and then go all the way north to Qinwang Tokyo.

Since meeting Xiao Cheng ten years ago, Chen Qun can be said to have watched Xiao Cheng take care of a sparse and chaotic Qianzhou step by step into the powerful Guizhou Road, and then opened up Yunnan Road. However, Cen Zhong of Guangnan West Road is also the only one who obeys Xiao Cheng's orders.

Although he was only a comfort envoy along the way, he held real power in three ways, tens of thousands of tigers.

A real overlord.

During this process, Chen Qun wisely expressed his kindness to Xiao Cheng.

It's very simple, because Xiao Cheng has infiltrated Kuizhou Road to pieces.

Don't forget, Li Fang's nephew, Li Ge, is an important figure in Xiao Cheng's Futai House at this moment.

And Li Fang served as the transfer envoy of Kuizhou Road for many years. Although he later handed over this position to Chen Qun, the roots of the Li family still penetrated into every aspect of Kuizhou Road. After Li Fang left, these people naturally The ground is closer to Li Ge than to himself.

As Xiao Cheng became more powerful, Li Ge's cohesion became stronger.

A two-story boat slowly approached the pier. Looking at the flags on it, Chen Qun immediately had a smile on his face. He lifted his robe and strode forward, following the Kuizhou Road behind him. Officials, big and small, understood immediately, and quickly followed Chen Qun to meet him.

They had been waiting for a long time for the protagonist, Xiao Cheng, the pacifier of Guizhou Road, finally arrived.

On the bow, a young man in casual clothes was holding a ten-year-old child in his hand, looking at them with a smile.

"Xiao Futai, you've worked hard all the way!" Chen Qun smiled and cupped his hands.

"I've seen Futai!" Behind him, a large group of officials stood together and bowed in salute.

"Brother Chen is too polite!" Walking down the springboard, Xiao Cheng saluted Chen Qun humbly.

"Xiao Futai understands righteousness, King Qianli Qin, as far as I know, I'm afraid you are the first local Fuchen to respond to King Qin's order and take action!" Chen Qun said.

"The people of Liao are fierce. It's not too late for this matter. If it's too late, I'm afraid it will be too late!" Xiao Cheng sighed: "It's too hasty, so I can only bring this idea first. It can only be regarded as attracting jade."

Chen Qun froze slightly, are you in a hurry?Is it still a throwaway?
It's just five thousand tigers, hundreds of warships of all kinds, these belongings, if they are placed on Kuizhou Road for a few years, I'm afraid they won't be able to get together. If you have enough time, you will What kind of team can you come up with?
But obviously, it's better not to talk about this topic casually, otherwise I really don't know what to say.

Turning his eyes, his eyes fell on the child who was closely behind Xiao Cheng.

"Zhao An has seen the transporter Chen!" The child was a little shy when he saw Chen Qun looking over, and under Xiao Cheng's signal, he took a step forward and saluted Chen Qun.

This is Xiao Cheng's apprentice, who seems to have been by Xiao Cheng's side since he was a child.

And Xiao Cheng, until now, has only accepted such a disciple.

Although he was young, but judging by how much Xiao Cheng attached importance to him, he couldn't be dismissive. Chen Qun smiled and nodded.

"Futai has worked hard all the way, Wangjiang Tower has prepared a banquet, let's clean up the dust first!" Chen Qun said.

The guest can do as the host pleases, so Xiao Cheng will naturally not refuse.

What's more, Chen Qun's position is also extremely important, and this person's strength is also worthy of his attention.

On the third floor of Wangjiang Building, there is only one seat.

Futai Xiao Cheng, Guan Goujiyiwen Luo Xin, Du Qianju, and Bing Ma all commanded Yang Wanfu, while Zhao An could only stand behind Xiao Cheng and others to help drink, while Chen Qun was on the other side. , besides him, there are only judges, signing judges, and an elder of the Li clan.

"Futai, Major General Wei of Kuizhou Road Bing, worked hard for it, and only prepared five hundred tigers to go to serve the king with Futai, but we have prepared a month's supply of food and supplies for your army, and then, They will also keep raising supplies for Futai!" Chen Qun said directly after drinking for three rounds.

The Kuizhou Road Transshipment Envoy is not only in charge of Kuizhou Road, in fact, he is also in charge of Yizhou's food and payment transshipment.

You said he had no soldiers, indeed.

But if you want to say that he has no money or food, that's not the case.

Yizhou is a real land of abundance.

And the Kuizhou Road Transit Envoy, who holds the right to transship Yizhou, is a real beauty.

This is why Xiao Cheng has always been kind to Chen Qun...

He wanted to pass Chen Qun and slowly extend his hand into Yizhou Road.

Right now, the key point of Yizhou Road is not yet obvious, but if the entire north falls and the world is in chaos, then the importance of Yizhou will not be the same as it is now.

"Now that the country is in crisis, Mr. Chen is so anxious and righteous. Xiao thanked you in advance! There is no way to pay respects, so I borrow flowers to present Buddha, and offer a cup of wine to Mr. Chen!" Xiao Cheng held up the wine glass and said sincerely: "The soldiers and horses have not moved. Food and grass go first, although this trip to King Qin is for business, but it is a guest army after all, after going out, the journey along the way must be full of hardships and dangers, if there is enough food and grass, things will be much easier."

"Don't dare to compare with Futai!" After drinking a glass of wine, Chen Qun sighed: "Who would have thought that Cui Ang, Liu Yu, Liu Quanyi and others would turn to the enemy and become eagles and dogs? Xiao Futai, tell me, How did the situation suddenly come to this point?"

"Heaven committed evil, you can still live, self-inflicted evil, you can't live!" Xiao Cheng shook his head.

"Can Tokyo hold on?"

"If you are united, you are not afraid of casualties, and you may not be able to defend it!" Xiao Cheng said: "After all, there is no other place in the world that can compare with the city wall of Tokyo City. There is no shortage of people or weapons in the city. .”

"But there is a shortage of food!" Chen Qun said.

Xiao Cheng snorted: "Copy the homes of all civil and military officials, wealthy gentry, and honorable clans in Tokyo, and the food they get can last for a month or two. It is not a problem! As long as they can keep it for a couple of months In a month, the reinforcements from all over the world can climb over even if they climb!"

"I'm afraid I can't do it!" Chen Qun was dumbfounded.

Such a thing, probably only the young Futai in front of him can do it.

"If you can't do it, then it depends on your luck! If there is no skin, how can the hair be attached? They should still understand this truth, right?"

"Many people don't cry when they don't see the coffin!" Luo Dao said, "They all have the idea of ​​why not let others go first. You count on me, and I count on him!"

Speaking of the current situation, everyone in the room shook their heads and sighed.

"Yunnan Luofu Terrace, where is Cen Fu Terrace on Guangnan West Road?" Chen Qun asked.

"Yunnan Road has just quelled the chaos in Tengchong." Xiao Cheng said: "Luo Gang can't afford a single soldier now, and even food and grass are very tight. I can't count on him this year. I only hope that he can take Yunnan Road down. Make it right, it’s already Amitabha. Guangnan West Road doesn’t stop there, Cen Futai has managed Annan for several years, and now it’s time to harvest, how dare you distract him?”

"So now Qin Wang only has Guizhou Road?" Chen Qun said.

"The first batch of three armies, the Tianwu Army, the Sirius Army, and the Tianping Army." Xiao Cheng said: "You also know the three commanders, Fan Yifei, Yang Zhu, and Yang Bin."

"They're all tiger generals." Chen Qun nodded.

"Tian Zhen's Tianyi Army and Yue Teng's Sky Eagle Army were dispatched later, and the Futai pro-barracks led by Han Yan, it depends on the form, there must always be a soldier to guard the house." Xiao Cheng said.

"The southwest is not stable!" Chen Qun was a little startled.

"How can it be stable?" Xiao Cheng sneered: "The situation in the country has reached this point. Wouldn't those who have some thoughts in their hearts jump out a few times? I don't care about other places, but in the southwest, those who want to jump Damn guy, don’t blame me for being rude. I used to reason with them and convince people with virtue. But now, I don’t have the heart to reason with them. If I dare to blow my hair, I’ll flatten them .”

Xiao Cheng snorted and said, "Luo Xin still talks about benevolence to me. Let me tell you, right now, let alone benevolence, I don't even care about kingly ways. Now I only have domineering left."

Seeing that everyone at the table looked at him in a blink of an eye, Luo Xin raised his glass in embarrassment and pretended to drink.

"At this time, we really can't have the heart of a Bodhisattva!" Chen Qun nodded in agreement. "Only by means of thunder can we unite people's hearts more effectively. I am only worried that if Tokyo is broken, it will be troublesome."

"If the capital city is destroyed, as long as the officials can escape, they can still regain their strength!" At the banquet, the old man of the Li clan with fluttering white beards said: "As long as the king's flag does not fall, and there is Xiao Futai, Chen Zhuanyun will be like this!" The ministers of the lower arms, the barbarians, can only act fiercely for a while, and as time goes by, they will definitely block my king's teacher!"

Everyone laughed. No matter how you say it, everyone always likes to hear such good words.

"Hu Yi and Mr. Hu are very old, but he is very energetic. He came to me some time ago and told me the righteousness of his family and country for a long time, and then he went straight to Jinghu North Road!" Chen Qun said: "Leave him to rest for a few more days, but he refuses."

"This person is really complicated!" Xiao Cheng said with a smile: "He can't do specific things well, but he has a stubborn temper, and he is born with a high self-esteem."

"Only a person with such a heart as Futai will treat him like this. For another person, whether he can live or not is a question." Chen Qun said: "I think that Hu Yi and Mr. Hu, for this point, still have a problem." It is very clear that although I am very dissatisfied with you inside and out, I still refuse to say anything bad about your personality. And now we have to persuade the governor along the way to open the door to us and prepare food and grass Yudu and so on, a person like him is really easy to use. After all, no one wants to offend him, and now, his reputation is very big in the world."

Xiao Cheng laughed out loud. Speaking of which, most of Hu Yi's fame is due to himself.

This guy was against him, even when he went to teach in Ningzhong, he would never give in to him, and he had won a lot of fame among scholars.

"Zhao An, pour wine for everyone!" Xiao Cheng beckoned to the disciples behind him.

Zhao An walked up obediently, holding the jug in his arms.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes and a hurried questioning voice outside: "Is Futai here? I'm Wu Ke, and I want to see Futai!"

Everyone in the house was stunned.

Wu Ke is not a small person, if he can make him lose his composure like this, I'm afraid there will be a big problem.
