The First Great Ancestor of the Five Dynasties

Chapter 96 The Eve of Chaos
"His grandma's! Xue Xiuming really promised to cede the Yuanzhou racecourse to the designated difficult army?"

In the official room, Shi Kuangwei, with a black face and a ferocious face, slapped the table and shouted loudly. The table trembled and dust fell.

Zhu Xiu smiled bitterly and said: "Tao Wenju is a close confidant of Xue Xiuming, and what he said should have some credibility. Thinking about it from another angle, the army is not short of salt, and only Yuanzhou Racecourse is attractive to them. Xue Xiuming If Xiu Ming is in a hurry and jumps over the wall, there is no guarantee that he will not do something crazy."

"Yuanzhou racecourse is my favorite! If the party members dare to play the idea of ​​the racecourse, I will fight with them!"

Lao Shi roared viciously, and the scars on his bald scalp became more hideous and terrifying.

It seemed that he was really angry, walking back and forth in front of Zhu Xiu with his hands behind his back.

Zhu Xiu helplessly raised his forehead and said, "Can you please stop wandering? It makes me have a headache! There is no news from the Dingnan Army at the moment, so there is no need to worry."

Shi Kuangwei sat down and said with a dark face: "You have never seen Li Yiyin, so you don't know his wolf nature! Yuanzhou Racecourse is a big piece of fat meat. Once Li Yiyin smells the smell, as long as there is a third chance that he will eat it, he will I will definitely do it!"

Zhu Xiu spread his hands and said, "What do you think we should do?"

Shi Kuangwei thought anxiously for a moment, stood up and gritted his teeth: "No! We can't wait any longer! We must take action against the Xue family immediately! Tonight!"

"Tonight?" Zhu Xiu was taken aback, "But we still don't know what's going on in Zheqian City."

Shi Kuangwei waved his hand, with a dark face: "I have treated the Xue family with all my kindness and justice. Now that the money, food and treasury are all under control, the Xue family can no longer threaten the Yajun. It's time to remove this cancer! Clear out the Xue family , I want to prepare for war immediately, stationed in Yuanzhou, and guard against cunning party members!"

Zhu Xiu hesitated for a moment. The food in the county warehouse will not be transported until early tomorrow morning. Over at the salt factory, Bi Zhenhai is loading the first batch of salt to be sent to Pizhou. It is expected to set off in three to five days.

To be honest, now is not the best time to attack the Xue family.

But now that Shi Kuangwei had made up his mind, Zhu Xiu had no choice but to persuade him.

Taking advantage of the time when Lao Shi sent someone to invite Wei Hu, Zhu Xiu thought about it all to see if there were any omissions.

After much deliberation, I couldn't think of any loopholes.

But I always feel uneasy.

"Handsome!" Wei Hu came, nodded to Zhu Xiu, and sat aside.

Shi Kuangwei briefly explained the matter, Wei Hu was startled at first, then got up and clasped his fists and said: "The Xue family has committed crimes, repeatedly overreached, and the handsome man tolerated it again and again, but they still don't know how to repent, and now they don't hesitate to lure wolves into the house, it's really hateful! The last general is willing to lead his troops to besiege Xue's house and capture brother Xue Xiuming alive!"

Shi Kuangwei said: "It is very important to capture the Xue brothers. I will rest assured only if you go there in person!"

Zhu Xiu reminded: "Brother Wei, after capturing Xue's family, don't hurt their lives, and separate them and detain them separately! Xue Xiuming's wife, Li Shi, must be treated kindly. She is the key to easing our relationship with the Dingnan Army!"

Wei Hu smiled: "I understand."

"Zhu Xiu led people to inspect the city gates. From now on, the gates of Anding County will be closed and no one is allowed to enter or exit! Guan Tieshi was ordered to suspend the production of the salt factory, dismiss the workers, and Yangjinchuan entered a state of martial law."

Shi Kuangwei issued a series of orders. Despite this black guy's usually idle and unconcerned character, he was really unambiguous at the critical moment.

"By the way, let Lingyan follow you and protect him closely to avoid accidents."

Lao Shi did not forget to assign his daughter to Zhu Xiu as a bodyguard, so that he would not know that he was being beaten by others in the noisy county town.

Zhu Xiu shrugged and said it didn't matter. He had enough manpower around him now. He had Ma San, Yan Ping and Chen An to do the errands. He had Shi Lingyan as his bodyguard. If that didn't work, he had Shi Xiangwen, the big killer.

However, as he was only responsible for public security in the county, Shi Xiangwen should not be needed, so he could just stay in his yard and quietly make a pigeon cage.

Shi Kuangwei muttered some instructions in Wei Hu's ear, and Zhu Xiu vaguely heard that it was about the manpower allocation and mobilization of the Ya Army.

The Ya army was full of 500 people, of which 2000 were considered direct descendants of the historian. Guan Tieshi led 500 soldiers to garrison Yangjinchuan, and there were still [-] soldiers stationed in Yacheng.

The other 500 people, Squadway planned to divide them into two gates of the outer city.

After the arrangement was completed, seeing the sky darkening, Shi Kuangwei and Wei Hu hurried to the Yajun camp to mobilize troops and horses. Zhu Xiu then returned to the house, planning to take Ma San Yanping with him, and then called Shi Lingyan to prepare for the city patrol.After searching around the house, there was no trace of Shi Lingyan. Zhu Xiugang was about to send someone to look outside the house. A pleasant sound of bells came from the door of the house, and Shi Lingyan ran in jumping and humming a tune.

"It's already dark, and you're still running around!" Zhu Xiuhu scolded him with a face.

Shi Lingyan shook her braid and pouted: "No one in the house pays attention to me, of course I want to go out to play!"

Shi Lingyan enthusiastically took Zhu Xiu's arm and said with a smile: "I was listening to a book in a tea shop on West Street. It was about a lady named Fu Jinzhan in Chang'an who annihilated the bullies in Fengtian County not long ago! It's wonderful! ! I also want to be a female general like Mrs. Fu!"

"Hmph~haha~"

As he spoke, Shi Lingyan waved his arms and made gestures, humming, thinking he was very impressive.

Zhu Xiu curled her lips and wanted to laugh at her, but she was surprised and said: "Who did you just talk about? Madam Fu Jinzhan Fu?"

Shi Lingyan nodded his little head vigorously: "Yes! The storyteller said that Mrs. Fu's name is Fu Jinzhan, she is the eldest daughter of Wei Guogong Fu Yanqing, and she is known as Mrs. Fu! Mrs. Fu married Li Chongxun, the son of Li Shouzhen, the governor of Hezhong! "

Zhu Xiu was stunned, and quickly said with a look on his face: "Good Yan'er, tell me what the storyteller said!"

Shi Lingyan thought he was interested in the storyteller's story, so he chatted about it.

The young lady was obviously not good at telling stories, and her logic was a little confusing, but Zhu Xiu still tried hard to understand the cause and effect.

After the Shangyuan Festival, Fu Jinzhan and her husband Li Chongxun stayed in Chang'an. One day, Fu Jinzhan went to Qianling to worship. When passing by Fengtian County, he somehow learned that there was a group of bullies in the county who had been entrenched for many years and were rampaging in the countryside. , fish and meat common people.

Mrs. Fu took only a few followers and went to Fengtian County in disguise to investigate. Unexpectedly, this was indeed the case.

Mrs. Fu, who was anxious for public good and righteous, immediately mobilized troops from Chang'an and personally led the troops to annihilate this group of bullies, and also dealt with a group of county magistrates who colluded with the bullies.

The news spread and won a lot of praise in Gyeonggi.

Mrs. Fu is the eldest daughter of the Duke of Wei and the daughter-in-law of Li Shouzhen, the military governor of Hezhong. She is truly the sweet daughter of heaven.

There was a powerful vassal in Guanzhong in Hezhong, and Li Shouzhen also had a nickname - King of Guanzhong.

When Mrs. Fu and his wife came to Chang'an, even Wang Jun, the Jingzhao Salt and Iron Transport Envoy, the Longyou Camp Soldier and Horse Superintendent, and one of the most powerful figures in the imperial court in Gyeonggi, had to take care of him carefully.

Zhu Xiu didn't know how accurate the story about Madam Fu paying homage to the mausoleum and getting rid of the bullies was, but it must have happened, and not long ago.

The news came through traders in Pizhou, and was artistically processed by local storytellers, turning it into the version that Shi Lingyan told Zhu Xiu.

Zhu Xiu calculated silently, and based on this calculation, Mrs. Fu might still be in Chang'an now.

It's a pity that staying with a husband who has no feelings makes me feel worthless for Mrs. Fu. She must feel so lonely, lonely and cold in the dead of night.
With a "pop" sound, Shi Lingyan patted Zhu Xiu's forehead neither gently nor hard, his round eyes widened, and he said crisply: "What are you thinking about? His face is full of sneakiness and vulgarity, he must have bad intentions!"

Zhu Xiu laughed awkwardly and put his thoughts away. He didn't have time to guess Madam Fu's inner pain. His current situation was still a mess.

"I didn't think anything of it, let's go! Follow me to patrol the city later!" Zhu Xiu grabbed her and dragged her away.

"Zhu Xiu, do you think Madam Fu is good-looking?"

"Of course it looks good!"

"Am I good-looking or is she good-looking?"

"Of course it's her!"

".Begging for a beating!"

"Oops!~"
