Horse on the World

Chapter 352 Yan Nanfei

In the rising steam, Yan Nanfei soaked naked in the water, picked up the ladle to scoop up the water, poured it down from his head, let the hot water pass through the ends of his hair, flowed over his face, and then Glides on well-preserved skin.His face was very troubled.The princess hadn't figured out where she was going yet, but she knew it clearly.Just think about the series of orders issued by Dingzhou before, and you will know where Li Qing is going to let him go.To go, or not to go?He was caught in a dilemma.

"I've met the Commander!" Yan Nanfei, who cleaned himself up a little bit, bowed to the ground.

Li Qing, who was reviewing the official document, raised his head upon hearing the sound, saw Yan Nanfei, laughed, put down the princess in his hand, raised his hand to caress, and said, "Mr. Yan, long time no see, sit down, please sit down! Huzi, go up." Tea!"

"Thank you, Marshal!" Yan Nanfei saluted again, and sat sideways on the lower head. Tang Hu brought tea, and seeing Tang Hu's expression, he knew that there were not a few tea leaves floating in the cup.

Li Qing looked Yan Nanfei up and down. The disciples taught by the chief assistant of Dachu were naturally extraordinary. After being immersed in Luoyang officialdom for such a long time, his management skills and scheming were not bad. When he arrived in Dingzhou, he kicked against the iron plate, bumped into walls everywhere, and hit his head all over his head. After half a year, he finally smoothed his original edges and corners, and his mentality was peaceful.The drastic changes in the political situation in Great Chu made him see the situation clearly. It is a pity that such a person needn't be used. What's more, Li Qing is eager to seek talents, but it is difficult to use this person. I am afraid that until now, he Still haven't completely given up.If he could really help him wholeheartedly, Li Qing felt that he would have another pillar like Shang Haibo or Lu Yiming.

Li Qing stared at Yan Nanfei unscrupulously, but Yan Nanfei was very calm, sitting upright, keeping his expression on.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Yan has been in Dingzhou for half a year, but we haven't met a few times. Li Qing is very sorry. Mr. Yan's name, Li Qing, has been admired for a long time."

"A humble name is a disgrace to the ears!" Yan Nanfei murmured.

Li Qing smiled and said, "Mr. Yan is doing well here, but are you still used to it?"

Yan Nanfei said: "Thanks to the commander in chief for asking, Nan Fei is doing well, and he is quite used to it." Yan Nanfei replied against his will, seeing Li Qing staring at him with a half-smile and not making a sound, his face could not help but slow down. The ground turned red, and finally took a deep breath and said: "The commander-in-chief is laughing. In fact, Nan Fei is having a bad time and is very unhappy!"

Li Qing laughed loudly, "This is the truth, Mr. Yan, do you know why you are not happy no matter in Dingzhou or Fuzhou, and hit a wall everywhere?"

Yan Nanfei was extremely depressed, thinking that this is not due to the care of your commander in chief.But these words could not be uttered, so he could only keep silent in protest.

Li Qing stared into Yan Nanfei's eyes, and said word by word, "That's because Mr. Yan didn't understand one thing. This matter is wrong, and everything you do here is wrong."

Yan Nanfei clasped his hands and said, "Yan is stupid, please ask the commander-in-chief for guidance."

"Whether it is Dingzhou, or Fuzhou, or Bingzhou, which will soon be merged under my rule, or the grassland, they all only need one master and one voice. You want to start a new stove here and make a different voice. Naturally, it is impossible to realize the voice." Li Qing raised his head. "No matter who it is, as long as he violates this iron law, it is absolutely impossible to make a difference."

Hearing Li Qing's domineering words, Yan Nanfei really wanted to refute, whether it is Dingzhou, Fuzhou or Bingzhou, there is a higher existence above you, Li Qing, and that is the current Emperor of Great Chu, but this statement Before he could say anything, he himself was discouraged. Does the current Da Chu still have the emperor's voice?Apocalypse died suddenly, his teacher was imprisoned, and his life and death were unknown. Great Chu had already collapsed.

"Mr. Yan is talented, so it shouldn't be hard to figure out why, or are you simply unwilling to face this situation?" Li Qing looked at the pale Yan Nanfei and asked.

"I..." Yan Nanfei hesitated to speak.

"You have a great trust and you don't want to break your promise. Of course, I understand, but Mr. Yan, I want to ask you, are you willing to let you learn everything you have learned, stay at home every day, and drink away your sorrows? Drunken, dreaming and dying, letting the world change, but you are just a spectator in this tide, and then drowned in the waves of history, without a sound?" Li Qing asked.

"Of course I don't want to, but at this moment, what can I do?" Yan Nanfei raised his head.

"So I found a place for you." Li Qingdao, "If you are placed in Dingzhou and any of the three states, it will make many people have illusions, and if you are in a dilemma, it will also make me feel uneasy. , it will make my other staff members in Dingzhou suspicious of you. Foreign enemies are not terrible, but the most fearful thing is to cause disasters within the Xiaoqiang. Mr. Yan, I cherish your talent and want to borrow from you. To be honest, my subordinates can use the talent , especially there are not many people who are talented in martial arts, and it is even difficult to pick out a few people who stand alone. This is why I value you. You can go to this place to avoid some complicated Things, secondly, you can calm down and take a look, think about it, what should you do in the future? How?"

Yan Nanfei struggled in his heart, "The commander-in-chief wants me to go to Xidu Hufu?"

"That's right. Compared with the Eastern Capital Protectorate, the western mansion is more difficult to govern. Those who are not talented cannot be left alone. Mr. Yan is the most ideal candidate in my mind. Of course, I will not make things difficult for Mr. Yan. If you want Go, if you don't want to, I don't want to be strong!" Li Qing picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said so much, but his throat was dry.

Sweat dripped from Yan Nanfei's forehead, agreeing to Li Qing basically meant betraying Qingcheng and the promise he made to his teacher when he left the capital.But the seat given by Li Qing is extremely attractive. Under the rule of Xifu, it spans thousands of miles. Although it is poor and white, but it is such a place, it is easier to make achievements. If you can naturalize Shiwei people, Dazhi, Then my name will be recorded in the annals of history, isn't this what every scholar dreams of?Not everyone has the chance to be famous in history.

"Will the princess agree to let me go?" In the struggle, Yan Nanfei finally found his answer.

Hearing Yan Nanfei's question, Li Qing couldn't help being overjoyed, it was a promise to himself.

"I greeted Qingcheng, and she agreed!" Li Qing smiled. In fact, Qingcheng only agreed to let Li Qing use Yan Nanfei, but she didn't know how to use it.

Yan Nanfei bowed his head in thought for a moment, stood up, straightened his clothes, and saluted Li Qing: "Subordinate Yan Nanfei, I have met the Commander!"

Li Qing laughed loudly, "Master Yan, don't need to be polite, we will be a family from now on. I think Master Yan must have guessed where I am going to send you after knowing that I have news about you. Have you ever thought about the governance of the government?"

Yan Nanfei said: "In a hurry, there is no good plan, but Nanfei wants to come, he only needs to do three things, and the Xidu Protectorate will be able to maintain long-term peace and stability."

"The three things?"

"The first is countering the rebellion. Between Dingzhou and Shiwei, and between Shiwei and the grassland barbarians, there is a lot of grudges. There must be people with ulterior motives who will gather together to make trouble, so the first thing the Western Capital Protectorate does is to counter the rebellion. "

"The second is naturalization. The rebellion at the beginning of the pacification is to make Shi Wei feel naturalized towards the Central Plains. This involves a series of policies such as people's livelihood and culture. It is easy to say, but difficult to do."

"The third is great governance. In fact, after completing the first two things, the third thing is easy. With the strong support of Dingzhou, I think that the Xidu Protectorate will soon prosper and become a powerful arm of Dingzhou. !"

Li Qing nodded slightly, he did not misread the person, in such a short period of time, Yan Nanfei had already figured out how to govern Xiduhu, he was indeed a man of great talent.

"That being the case, how long will it take you?" Li Qing asked.

Yan Nanfei opened his mouth, hesitated again, and said, "Five years!"

"Is it three years?" Li Qing asked.

"It's hard!" Yan Nanfei answered neatly.

Li Qing stood up, walked into the hall, paced back and forth a few times, and said in a deep voice, "I hope it will be three years, Master Yan, if you complete this feat in three years, I will transfer you back. Your seat is waiting for you, and I believe that after three years, you will understand it and see it clearly, and you will have nothing to worry about at that time. You can do your best to serve me."

Yan Nanfei said: "This subordinate will do everything they can."

"It's so good. At Bayan Har, Guan Xinglong's [-] cavalry are training. After you go down, pack up your things and take people to Bayan Har to meet him and leave the customs together. At the same time, at Shiwei Port, I'll also deploy a navy to help."

"Thank you, Marshal, since that's the case, Nan Fei will leave!" Yan Nanfei bowed.

Li Qing nodded, "Go ahead, say goodbye to Qingcheng, and then go to Director Qingfeng of the Statistics and Investigation Department. With her, there is a family member who escaped from your teacher's house and a letter from your teacher. .”

"Teacher?" Yan Nanfei was shocked.

"Yes, a month ago, this person escaped to Dingzhou after going through untold hardships, and now he is with Director Qingfeng!"

Concerned about Chen Xiyan's safety, Yan Nanfei hurriedly bowed to Li Qing, and ran out in a panic, but almost tripped over the threshold.A smile appeared on the corner of Li Qing's mouth, but he had already read that letter from Chen Xiyan. I believe that with this letter, Yan Nanfei would think more clearly.

After sending Yan Nanfei away, Tang Hu walked in and said, "Commander, Deng Peng, commander of the Fuzhou navy, has arrived and is waiting outside to be summoned by the commander!"

Li Qing was overjoyed, "He pours fast, please hurry up!"

Since Deng Peng surrendered to Li Qing, everything went smoothly, and once his wish was fulfilled for many years, he seemed to look younger for several years, and he no longer looked like an old farmer when Li Qing saw him. "Deng Peng has met the Marshal!" As soon as he saw Li Qing, Deng Peng immediately pushed the golden mountain, turned down the jade pillar, and paid homage.

Laughing, he helped Deng Peng, "Deng Pengyuan has worked hard, and he is used to riding a boat, but he is still used to riding a horse?"

"Deng Peng is very used to being cared by the commander-in-chief."

Hearing this ingenious answer, Li Qing laughed happily, "I heard that you moved your family to Dingzhou City?"

Deng Peng nodded and said: "Exactly, this subordinate has bought a house in Dingzhou and settled the family in Dingzhou City. I will ask the commander-in-chief to take care of me in the future!"

Li Qing couldn't help but sigh, Deng Peng is a very careful person, Li Qing completely entrusted the navy to him, without a trace of sincerity or suspicion, now Deng Peng has gathered a powerful navy under his command, plus With a navy and marine team of thousands of people, it can be said that Deng Peng has become a powerful figure in the Dingzhou army without making a sound. On the one hand, he expressed his loyalty to Li Qing.
