Chapter 214 Xijiang Fu

(Continue to 4000 chapters ~ tomorrow is a new week, a new start ~)
Fu Huaide was very surprised by what Fu Wu reported.Huben's lieutenant Xue Shoufan is outside the gate of the mansion, and he came here by order of the king, what's going on?

Due to the special status of the Huben Army, the leader and deputy generals of the Huben Army have different positions in the army. The Huben Army is mainly to protect the emperor. The emperor lives in Miyagi, and they will not leave Jingzhao.Every time Huben generals go to each guard, it means that the emperor has a decree to issue.

The person who came to Xijiang this time turned out to be Deputy General Xue Shoufan. What was the reason for this?

Subconsciously, Fu Huaide thought of the Xijiangwei riot.Xue Shoufan came to Xijiang for this matter?The current situation did not allow Fu Huaide to think too much, he immediately told Fu Tong about it, and then prepared to go out to meet Xue Shoufan, mainly to show respect for Wang Ling.

"Bring them to Sansong Hall, I'll go there later." Fu Tong called Fu Huaide and said.With his qualifications and prestige, he didn't need to see Xue Shoufan, but he wanted to see this lieutenant general Huben, and he also wanted to ask about Jing Zhao's situation.

Fu Huaide took the order, and Xue Shoufan, the gatekeeper of the mansion, went out to welcome Sansongtang.Fu Huaide thought that General Hu Ben would be particularly difficult to get along with, but to his surprise, although this Xue Shoufan came here by order of the king, his words and deeds did not show the slightest arrogance, with a smile on his face, and his manner was humble and respectful.

Respect... Although his rank is higher than that of Xue Shoufan, the final judge does not only look at rank. The Huben Army's status in the army is already aloof. The performance of "respect" was made by Lieutenant General Huben, which is a bit intriguing.As a result, Fu Huaide became more cautious, he couldn't see through Xue Shoufan's intention for a moment.

However, Xue Shoufan smiled and exchanged greetings, expressing his admiration for Xijiang all the way, but never mentioned the intention of coming. The soldiers with him kept their mouths closed like mussels, and they didn't even drink tea.

It's really hard for them... Fu Huaide thought this way, and he admired himself a little. Under such circumstances, he was in the mood to think about such boring questions.But Xue Shoufan didn't say what he came for, so he remained calm and chatted with Xue Shoufan with great interest.
Xue Shoufan, who was sitting across from him, was not as calm as he looked.He looked at Fu Huaide's beautiful beard, and thought mixedly in his heart: It is rumored that General Fu is handsome, and he really deserves his reputation... What will the Fu family say about the riot... I will ask later...
The two had their own thoughts, and while they were exchanging pleasantries, Fu Tong came in.As soon as he saw Fu Tong, Xue Shoufan stood up, bent down and saluted and said, "I have met old general Fu."

Fu Tong's age and military achievements were obvious, he accepted Xue Shoufan's salute very naturally.He knew that Fu Huaide and Xue Shoufan must have exchanged pleasantries, so he asked directly: "Vice General Xue came here on the order of the king, what is the emperor's will?"

Since Fu Tong asked directly like this, Xue Shoufan couldn't hide it anymore.In fact, he didn't explain why he came here. He just wanted to meet Fu Tong and hear what the Western Xinjiang ruler meant. ——He deliberately said that he came by order of the king, so he knew that Fu Tong would appear.

He looked at the pair of father and son who were very similar, and said slowly: "I came here by order of the king to investigate the riot of the soldiers of the Xijiang Guards. It has already happened. May I ask General Fu what is going on? ?”

His eyes fell on Fu Huaide, now the general of Xijiang Wei is Fu Huaide, of course he asked Fu Huaide.His daring to ask so directly is actually a kind of respect for the Fu family. At the very least, he believes that the Fu family doesn't bother to hide anything.

Fu Huaide's face remained unchanged, but his heart tightened, he was thinking about how to answer this question, so he didn't speak immediately.Sure enough, Xue Shoufan came to Xijiang suddenly because of the soldiers rioting!
This matter spread to the imperial court so quickly?
Fu Tong on the side raised a smile and said, "Before the Fu family answers this question, is Vice General Fu willing to visit the armory of the Xijiang Guard?"

Hearing Fu Tong's words, Xue Shoufan was at a loss. He didn't expect Fu Tong to change the subject, and he changed it so naturally, as if what they were talking about was the arsenal. It was so strange.

Could it be that there is something special about Xijiangwei's arsenal?What does this have to do with soldiers rioting?
Xue Shoufan thought for a moment, and then agreed: "Since Old General Fu invites you, I am very happy."

Of course, the armory of the Xijiang Guard is not located in the General's Mansion, but on the side of the southeast school field which is less than half an hour away from the General's Mansion.The school grounds are where soldiers practice martial arts. Every guard in Dading has a school ground, and the Huben army also has its own school ground. In Xue Shoufan's view, the Xijiang Guard's school grounds are not special except that they are larger.

Xue Shoufan followed Fu Tong and Fu Huaide, passed through the school grounds where loud shouts were heard, and came to a unique building.The building consists of many identical houses, which are not tall, but occupy a large area.
According to Fu Huaide, this is the armory of Xijiang Guard, and each house is equipped with different weapons. ——Xue Shoufan once visited the arsenal of Weiwei Temple and felt quite similar.

Up to now, Xue Shoufan doesn't think there is anything special about it.It wasn't until Fu Tong signaled the soldiers to open these doors that he couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw what was inside.

He looked along these houses one by one, as if in a daze, and finally stopped, looking at Fu Huaide in amazement, unable to say anything.
These rooms are filled with all kinds of weapons, bows, crossbows, guns, sticks, knives, swords, spears, shields, axes... They are arranged in different categories. It can be seen that someone is trying to arrange them neatly, but all Without success, they were still piled crookedly together.

Every room, every weapon is like this!

Because, every weapon in these rooms is tattered, no matter how you place it, it will not be right!It turns out that these are all used and severely damaged weapons!On them, there are still many dull red stains, which are dried blood...

Xue Shoufan has seen many weapons in the Weiweisi arsenal, and he has also seen various weapons in the Huben Army arsenal, but they are all intact, and most of them are even brand new. He has not seen it!

"These are all weapons used by the soldiers, and many of them have been repaired. They will not be placed here until they can no longer be used. These are only weapons that have been damaged in the past five years...Although the Xijiang Guard soldiers don't use them However, there is daily training, once every seven days to clear the border, once a month to destroy the border, and often have small-scale battles with the Dasheng border soldiers. This is how these damaged weapons come..."

Fu Huaide on the side spoke slowly like this, he already understood the meaning of Fu Tong bringing Xue Shoufan to see the armory.These damaged weapons are the best illustration of the Xijiang Guard. In the Xijiang Guard, which is far away from Jingzhao, the soldiers do not relax at all, and are always preparing to guard Xijiang and Dayong!

Only hard daily training and years of training can maintain the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Xijiang Guard. Even if the enemy invades, it can also ensure that the Xijiang Guard can fight at any time and win by standing! ——This is the origin of these damaged weapons.

Dading and Dasheng have not had a major war for several years, but it does not mean that the Xijiang Guard has nothing to do. These damaged weapons are actually the greatest achievement of the soldiers of the Xijiang Guard!
And to achieve these feats, the person in charge of Xijiang Guard must have an extremely clear mind, extremely keen vigilance, and also have a loyalty to the people and Dading!
Undoubtedly, the Fu family has all these conditions. Such a Fu family, the Xijiang Guard under the management of the Fu family, how could there be soldiers rioting for the children of the family?
Although Fu Tong didn't give any explanation for the riot, he brought Xue Shoufan to see these weapons, which was already the best explanation.Objects are more convincing and shocking than any words.

So far, Xue Shoufan has fully understood what Fu Tong meant. The huge number of damaged weapons in front of him stimulated his heart and made him feel overwhelmed.He couldn't help thinking: If the Xijiang guards change generals, can anyone do better than the Fu family?

He didn't know, at the moment his heart was in a mess, the only clear thing was the rags in front of him, and the ambergris in Zichen Palace, these two seemed to be pulling his heart, his mouth opened and closed, closed and opened again , but nothing came out.

"Soldiers rioted for real, and there is nothing to hide about it. But we have found out that Dasheng frontier soldiers were also involved. The riots were just instigated by spies in the army. The purpose is what it is, and Vice-General Fu must be clear about it." Fu Tong Said, spreading the truth about the riot in front of Xue Shoufan.
As for whether Xue Shoufan believes it or not, how he will report it to Zichen Palace is not something that Fu Tong can decide.

The early summer in western Xinjiang was scorching hot and dry, Xue Shoufan was sweating all over, and then he felt smoke coming from his mouthpiece. Only when he saw Fu Tong and Fu Huaide standing upright, he felt a little cool.

Suddenly, Xue Shoufan smiled, walked into the room and gently stroked the tattered weapons, and said in a low voice: "It's time to change, there are too many new weapons in the Weiwei Temple Arsenal..."

Hearing these words, Fu Tong turned his eyes and put his hands behind his back. Fu Huaide's expression changed a few times, but finally remained the same.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was already dark, Fu Tong still stayed in the General's Mansion, instead of going back to the ancestral house for dinner as before, because he still had something to explain to Fu Huaide.

"Xue Shoufan is a good man. He gave us a reminder that the worst outcome that was previously speculated is about to appear, so we must be prepared..." Fu Tong said in a very flat tone.

Xue Shoufan didn't leave the General's Mansion until late at night. In fact, he didn't do anything after staying for such a long time. Instead, he kept chatting with Fu Huaide, as if he hated seeing each other late.

Fu Tong admired this deputy general very much.The court has been in peace for a long time, and there are fewer and fewer generals who are clear and loyal.
"My child already knows. I will write the dictionary, and I will ask my father to take it to Jingzhao." Fu Huaide replied with a rather complicated expression.This request for a dictionary may not be needed, it is just a preparation for an emergency.
But after all, the Fu family still has to come to this point, no matter how much experience Fu Huaide has experienced, he will inevitably feel a little sour in his heart.

"It's not urgent. What the emperor wants is the attitude of the Fu family. It doesn't matter whether you have a letter of resignation or not. The key is that I told you about the number of soldiers. You and Huai Lu should handle this matter well. I have to let someone I know, this sewage is not so easy to splash!" Fu Tong said with a half-smile, like an old fox.

Fu Huaide nodded, the Fu family has been doing this kind of thing for the past two years, not to mention very well prepared, but it will not be easy for people to find out anything.
"It's not a big deal to take good care of the children of the family. The Fu family's foothold in Western Xinjiang is not only based on the position of general. But there is one thing, you have to do it no matter what!" Fu Tong's tone suddenly became serious, Clearly there are important things to say.

"Father, please tell me." Fu Huaide straightened his back and said.
"After I leave Xijiang, the Xijiang guards will do what they need to do, and the routine border raids will never stop. No matter what happens, the people and soldiers of Xijiang must be the most important thing!" What Fu Tong said was such a simple sentence words!
"Father, my son remembers." Fu Huaide replied dully, he didn't want to say anything else, his heart was really heavy.
He had heard Fu Tong say "the people and soldiers of Western Xinjiang are the most important thing" many times, but there were only a few times when he said it so solemnly alone.One is when he reached the crown, and the other is when he took office as General of the Western Border Guards, and now is the third time.

Having served in the position of General of Wei in Xijiang for three years, Fu Huaide knows the situation of the Fu family better than anyone in the Fu family, and also understands Fu Tong better than anyone in the Fu family.The prestige of the Fu family in the western border is too high, every step must be cautious, and the place where they land may be the abyss.

"You don't have to be sad, this may also be an opportunity for the Fu family to come down from the tiger's back. You have to remember: Xijiang is a big settlement, and it can make Xijiang stable for a long time. You can't just rely on one person. If there is an emergency, You can go to Zheng Boan."

Fu Tong comforted, as if trying to understand something, his tone gradually became flat.The Fu family is riding a tiger, and now it is going to be extremely difficult, but it is not unacceptable.

"My child knows." Fu Huaide still lowered his head, and after turning his thoughts for several times, he gradually agreed with Fu Tong's words.
It is too difficult for the Fu family to maintain such a situation, and there are many people working together.And among these many people, most of them are not the Fu family, they are all for the common people and soldiers in Xijiang, and they will push the Fu family to its current prestige status.

For the prosperity of Xijiang, for the people of Xijiang, too many people gave precious things, some sacrificed their lives, and some sacrificed their reputation. The Fu family may suffer heavy losses, and that is inevitable.
In any case, he will follow Fu Tong's choice, and put the people and soldiers in Xijiang first. ——He nodded, and assured Fu Tong again: "You can go to Jingzhao without worry, there is a child here in Xijiang."

Fu Tong nodded in satisfaction, twirling his gray beard with a smile on his face.Jingzhao, he hasn't been there for many years, how is he doing now?
