Competing

Chapter 281 Good News

Tian Rong felt depressed because of the opposition from his nephew Qi Wang Tianshi. After sighing helplessly, he ordered his subordinates: "Go and invite Mr. Fan!"

Mr. Fan is naturally that Fan Wenke!

At this time, Fan Sanye was standing on the bank of the Zishui River, admiring the beauty of the setting sun.Looking at the afterglow in the sky, Fan Wenke couldn't help sighing softly, it can be said that everyone has their own melancholy.

With soft footsteps, a man in his 20s came over. The man looked indifferent, calm and steady. He walked behind Fan Wenke and bowed to stop, not daring to disturb him.

Fan Wenke didn't look back, and asked lightly: "E Lin, there is news? Where did it come from?"

This man's name is Fan Elin, and he is also a member of the Fan family. He is Fan Wenke's confidant, and Fan Sanye relies heavily on him.

Fan Elin replied respectfully: "Yes, Sanye, Kuaiji and Dingtao have news!"

"Oh?" When Fan Wenke heard this, a trace of surprise appeared on his gloomy face, and his frowning brows relaxed a little.

Fan Elin nodded and said: "The news from Kuaiji, that woman finally agreed to do things for the third master, but the uncle and Miss Yilan both hate prudence, so there is no news for the time being!"

When Fan Wenke heard the words, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, a little bit bitter and a little bit excited, and sighed: "Finally, I have become acquainted. If I hadn't rescued the third master, she would have starved to death by the side of the road. Let him enter the earthquake." Zeshanzhuang is for doing things for me. A few days ago, I thought that if I became the concubine of my elder brother, I would be able to fly up the branches and become a phoenix, but I didn’t listen to me... Humph!"

Fan Elin echoed: "She is obsessed with ghosts. The uncle is just trying to find something new, and he is only temporarily favoring him... After two years of old age, he is nothing! Now I have finally enlightened, and I know how to repay the kindness of the third master!"

Fan Wenke smiled and said: "It's good to be enlightened, otherwise I will try my best to put her next to my elder brother, wouldn't it be a waste of energy? As long as he obediently does things for me, I will not treat him badly..." Speaking of Now, a cold smile appeared on the corner of Fan Wenke's mouth, which made people feel a little scary!
Fan Elin worried: "But the uncle and Miss Yilan have always been cautious, and it may not be easy to get any news!"

Fan Wenke shook his head when he heard the words: "As long as I'm by my brother's side, it's useful. My brother is too conceited and looks down on me. Sooner or later... But Yilan, this niece is really amazing, what a pity, If she was a man, she would be much stronger than Yang'er!"

Fan Elin said in a deep voice: "Although Miss Yilan is smart and shrewd, she is only a woman after all, so don't worry about it, Third Master!"

"By the way, what's going on with Dingtao? What about Yang'er?" Fan Wenke nodded slightly and asked.

Fan Elin said: "Fan Bai has loosened up a bit... I believe that it will be able to be used by me in the near future. As for the grassland, with Lao Zi by his side, it is difficult to have a chance, and now it is only among the subordinates at the bottom. Mix a few of our people in!"

The sadness on Fan Wenxuan's face completely disappeared, replaced by a smile, he only heard him laughing: "It's good to have news from Dingtao, as for Yang'er... try your best, Lao Zi is the eldest brother's confidant. Be careful, don't rush for quick success. These people will be of great use in the future, so don't expose them!"

Fan Elin nodded and said: "Don't worry, third master, Erin has a sense of propriety."

Fan Wenke nodded lightly. This is undoubtedly two pieces of good news. The desperate gamble on Qi Guotian Rong before made him very helpless and anxious, so that he couldn't breathe.Now it is much better, at least there is an extra way out, maybe it is an unprecedented good opportunity...

"Is there any other news?" Fan Wenke pondered for a while and asked softly.

Fan Elin thought for a while, and replied: "By the way, the third master, that daughter said that the uncle mentioned the name of Yue Wang Yinxu by chance... and Dingtao also revealed that when they fought against Zhang Han, Miss Yilan once Let Fan Bai mobilize Dingtao's family power to help Yin Xu..."

"Oh?" This unexpected news made Fan Wenke's eyes light up.

Yin Xu?Could it be that the eldest brother and Yilan want to choose him?Hmph, thinking that Song Yi's death was also related to Yin Xu, now this son is going to spoil his good deeds again?The corners of Fan Wenke's mouth revealed gnashing of hatred!
At this time, a servant came to report, and Qi Xiangtian Rong invited himself to meet.Fan Wenke turned around and said: "Elin, I'm going to see Prime Minister Tian, ​​and I'll leave the rest to you!"

Fan Elin took the order to leave, Fan Wenke looked up at the southern sky, and murmured: "Yue Wang Yinxu..."

At the same time, Shanyin City, Yue Palace!
A middle-aged scribe hurriedly walked on the steps, and greeted him respectfully when he met guards and officials along the way.This person is Gao Yi, one of the six important ministers under the throne of Yue, who is now mainly in charge of the government affairs of the Yue Kingdom. In the eyes of many people, Gao Yi is likely to be the future prime minister of the Yue Kingdom, so they respect him very much.

Gao Yi walked all the way and entered a palace, which was the imperial study of Yin Xu, king of Yinyue.Military and state affairs are basically handled here. It can be said that this imperial study is the power decision-making center of Yue State.

When Gao Yi entered the main hall, he saw Pu Jun and Su An also there.A few days ago, Yin Xu made an arrangement for Su Jiao to lead 1 people to Fanyi.Today, the two most important regions of the Yue Kingdom are the former homeland of the Yue Kingdom to the south of Zhejiang, and Fanyi to the east of Pengli Ze.

The eastern part of Fanyi is Minyue and Dongou. It would be a very serious problem if Wuzhu and Si Yao took advantage of the opportunity to join the association, so we must be prepared.Therefore, Yin Xu appointed Su Jiao, who had the most experience in leading troops in actual combat and garrisoning defenses, to go there. Back then, he was able to defend against the tough and powerful Huns in Shangjun, so naturally he could also restrain the small southern Yue people.

Another reason is that the training base of the Yue Cavalry Corps is on the east bank of Peng Lize. All these things need to be handled by Su Jiao, so this arrangement is naturally the most suitable.In addition to guarding against Minyue and Dongou, Yin Xu has another purpose, that is, Fanyi was once managed by Hengshan King Wu Rui for many years. Although they are all gone now, the residual influence is still there.What Yin Xu hopes is to eliminate this influence as soon as possible, and completely control this land in his own hands.

As for the defense and domestic garrison in the south of Yue Kingdom, Zhou Da and Lu Ming were in charge.As for Su An, he still served as the commander of the Yue King's Guards.While taking full responsibility for the safety of the King of Yue, he also started the training of the special guards. This was the focus of Yin Xu's confession, and Su An dared not neglect it at all.

At this time, Pu Jun had just discussed with Yin Xu some defense issues in Shanyin, and happened to see Gao Yi coming.

Seeing Gao Yi's faint smile, Yin Xu asked with a smile, "Gao Yi, what's the good news?"

Gao Yi approached, greeted Yin Xu first, and replied: "Your Majesty, it is indeed good news. This morning, Fan Kun, the Patriarch of the Fan Family, came to see the minister and expressed his loyalty to His Majesty, hoping to get His Majesty's protection!"

"Really?" Yin Xu asked in surprise, with a bit of surprise between his brows.

Gao Yi nodded and said: "Yes, it's not just that, Fan Kun also mentioned that the king of Yue arrived in Shanyin with his army, fearing that there would be insufficient food and grass, so he offered a granary in the city with [-] shi of grain! Fan Kun also said , the Fan family has a lot of fields, and they donate food every year!"

Yin Xu was overwhelmed with surprise, and said with a smile: "This Fan Kun is really timely rain, eight thousand stones of grain... not bad..."

When the army first arrived in Shanyin, the demand for food and grass was naturally high, and it would be even more necessary for conscription and combat in the future.As the largest landlord in the Yue Kingdom, the Fan family is naturally the best to be able to provide food and grass, and Yin Xu is naturally very happy.

More importantly, the Shanyin Fan family had made a choice and was willing to submit their allegiance to him, which is definitely a joke.Of the four major families in Shanyin, the Chen family has long been affiliated, and now that the Fan family has also joined, they have half of the strength.

As for the Zhou family and Xu family, if they continue to be stubborn, then don't blame yourself for being rude!It is impossible to kill all the four major families with one stick, especially the Fan family controls a large amount of land in the Yue Kingdom, and it is best for me to use it.So if the Fan family doesn't express anything, they may come to the door in person, even if it is persecution, the Fan family must have a clear gesture.Fortunately, Fan Kun was considered wise, and finally he did not take that embarrassing step.

Yin Xu nodded and said: "That's very good, Gao Yi has worked hard for you!"

Gao Yi said modestly: "This is all due to the great king's prestige, let them respect and submit, and the ministers dare not take credit!"

Yin Xu said with a smile: "Gao Yixiu has to be humble... By the way, the necessary precautions must be kept. If someone backtracks on what he says, or makes any small moves behind the scenes, he will be forgiven absolutely!"

What Yin Xu is worried about is that these families are not completely loyal to him. If there are people who pretend to surrender or half-hearted people, it will be troublesome.He will absolutely not allow this to happen, if anyone who is not good-looking gets into trouble, he will definitely be strangled with thunder!

Yin Xu asked, "Where are the Zhou family and the Xu family?"

Gao Yi replied: "The Zhou family is still so stubborn. As for the Xu family, they have settled down a lot, but they still seem to be hesitant..."

Yin Xu snorted coldly and said: "Okay, then I will give him some more time, and I can beat him if necessary... If I don't know the image by then, I will not be polite. I will treat them with courtesy first and then soldiers." !
In fact, a vacillating family like the Xu family, logically speaking, could not stay at all, but now is a special period.Too many big actions will involve too much, which is not a good thing for the current Shanyin. Moreover, the Xu family's shipping strength, Yin Xu still wants to take advantage of it.

Gao Yi said: "Okay, I will deal with it."

Yin Xu nodded and said: "Okay, I will thank you now!"

"What I should do!" Gao Yi said: "My lord, besides that, there is another piece of good news!"
