Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 450 Mission
Han Quanhui didn't seem to be doing his job properly, and he was clearly in charge of the emperor's order, but he stayed in Jiangzhou for a long time, drinking and feasting all day long.After finally leaving, when I was in Jinzhou, because the posthouse could not accommodate more than 200 of them, they made noise everywhere, which was quite disgusting.

If these people are in power in the whole world, then Datang will really be over.

Feng Wei left Jiangzhou early, disguised as a merchant, and quietly arrived in Wenxi County.

Pei Yuchang sent his servants to call him into the mansion, and then led him directly to the study in the backyard.

"Xisou is so courageous, he did not act properly as an assassin, and came to the river to do such private things." Pei Yuchang stroked his beard and smiled.

"Why did Uncle Shi laugh at me?" Feng Wei smiled wryly, and said, "It's not because of the family business."

Feng Wei is no longer the governor of Suizhou, that position was given to Li Changyuan.But after this time things are done and go back, most of them will find a good job.

"The Feng family is also quite bold." Pei Yuchang snorted, and said, "Is that why you are so optimistic about Shao Shude?"

"Don't you understand the current situation?" Feng Wei replied, "Even if the eastward journey does not go well, at worst it will be a situation of separatism, so it is worth placing a bet on."

"I don't think so." Pei Yuchang shook his head, and said, "Feng Dalang is an idiot. Although Shao Shude is good in every way, his martial arts and martial arts are impressive, but he has a fatal flaw. He has no family and is alone. !"

"The surname Shao, there is only one family in Fengzhou. Obviously, they are descendants of exile in a remote military state." Pei Yuchang continued: "I have searched all the files, and only five thousand people who were sent to Fengzhou during the reign of Yue Wangzhen failed. There is a person named Shao in the military academy, or a descendant of this person. However, Shude has no brothers, no clansmen, and is alone. All the sons are young. Once they die, the family property will be acquired by foreign surnames. It seems that flowers are blooming. In fact, the dangers are overwhelming, and the Feng family is too careless."

Feng Wei smiled when he heard the words, and said: "Since that's the case, why did Uncle Shi still take me into the mansion? Can't you just send me to see Wang Chongying?"

Pei Yuchang suffocated, and said: "This old man just can't bear to see my nephew suffer the pain of having his heart cut open."

"Does Uncle Shi know that he has become a great-grandfather?" Feng Wei snickered in his heart, and said, "Niece Zhenyi has given birth to a son in the first month of the lunar year. The king of Lingwu County is very happy. He rewarded all the troops and named him Huixian."

Pei Yuchang pondered for a while, and said: "'Dividing people is called wealth, teaching people to be kind is called loyalty, and those who win people for the world are called benevolence. , be stingy with time, benefit from wealth, and enable relatives and virtuous people." Lingwu County King named him so, or does it have a meaning?"

This——Feng Wei didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he could only vaguely say: "The king of Lingwu County has five sons, the first is Siwu, the second is Chengjie, the next is Mianren, the next is Guancheng, the next is Huixian, or Let's all have a place to stay."

His nephew's name is Shao Mianren, how dare he think about it?These names are all requirements for kings and sages. If you think about it blindly, you will harm yourself and your family.

Sure enough, Pei Yuchang frowned secretly after hearing these names.

"Is Feng Dalang dying soon, how can he keep silent?" Pei Yuchang walked up and down the room.

Feng Wei's face was a little embarrassed.

The elders in the family are too embarrassing.The two younger sisters, who were born in noble families, forgot everything they were taught since they were young. One widow and the other a married woman bowed down to cater to a warrior, and gave birth to a son and two daughters successively. Can live.

"Uncle Shi, didn't you write a letter..."

"Hmph. Feng Dalang wants face and wants benefits. He's really a cunning guy." Pei Yuchang sneered, "The descendants of the Feng family are all on Wang Yao's side this time?"

"Could Uncle Shi still stand by Wang Ke's side?" Feng Wei pretended to be surprised: "This man killed his wife to seek glory, and slapped Mrs. Pei in the face, so let's forget about it?"

"That's about Xi Machuan's lineage. What does it have to do with my Dongjuanfang?" Pei Yuchang insisted: "If you want to take action, you have to take action."

"Uncle Shi." Feng Wei emphasized his tone, not wanting to make circles with this duplicity old man anymore, and said directly: "Pei, the Dongjuan, and I, the Feng family of Anyi, have always had a good relationship, and we are in the same spirit. The king of Lingwu County does not want to take it away. Wang's foundation, he just doesn't like Li Keyong's meddling in Hezhong's affairs. Pu Shuai still belongs to the Wang family, the difference is that Wang Ke is still Wang Yao. There is no need for Pei's to do anything, only after Wang Chongying's death, start How about supporting Wang Yao to stay behind for Hezhong Jiedu?"

"If you can use Ruoxing soldiers to come, what can you do?"

"Naturally, the king of Lingwu County will not just sit back and watch. He also came with the army. We will meet Li Keyong for a while."

Pei Yuchang sighed, this is still risky for big families like them.The best thing is to not help each other. When the situation is clear, choose the winning side to rely on. This is the way to prosper the family business.

Today's aristocratic families are no longer comparable to those in the late Han Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

The aristocratic family at that time could pull out a large army, and others would have to go to great lengths even if they wanted to move, so there was a basis for talking.

But now, where are the soldiers?After more than two hundred years of the Kingdom, the aristocratic family has been declining day by day, and their strength is not as good as before. It is really difficult to make up your mind to bet.

"Uncle Shi, you might as well think about it differently. If Wang Ke is in charge, Jinyang's influence will inevitably extend to the river. By then, will the Pei family really be able to keep these benefits in front of them? I'm afraid not." Feng Wei decided to work harder. Said: "Those rude military leaders don't know how to make sense. If they want to rob, they will rob. If they don't obey, they will shout and kill. Instead of that, it's better to fight. If Wang Ke can kill his wife today, he can kill Pei tomorrow. In the eyes of warriors, the Pei family is just a matter of one sentence, and there will be all kinds of benefits if the Pei family is destroyed, wealth, women, and fields can be taken, why not do it?"

When Feng Wei's words came out, Pei Yuchang was a little moved.

He waved his hand and said, "This is a big matter, so I have to discuss it with the family. Pei family, it's not so easy to fall, and Wang Ke may not dare to do this."

Feng Wei laughed silently.

Pei Yuchang's ability to say this proves that he already has a tendency in his heart.

Warriors do things without thinking about the consequences?Most of them are quick for a while.Don't think that the Pei family can't fall. Are there still few big families that have been harmed by warriors?
Most of the military leaders were not from aristocratic families, which was very different from that of the Northern Dynasties and the Later Han Dynasty, and there was no mutual affection for each other.If you still look at the problem with old eyes, you will definitely suffer a big loss.

……

After leaving Wenxi, Feng Wei disguised himself as a scholar who had failed many trials, rode a horse, leisurely headed north, and caught up with the embassy group at Wuling Mountain.

Everyone in the mission turned a blind eye.

The Angel Guard is led by a Dutou named Mo Zaisi (No Zang Zaisi). The 200 men under him are all Hebei sergeants. It can be seen that they can fight a lot more than the previous Shence Army. The army is well-equipped.

I heard that he has 3000 people under his command, mostly from Hebei, Henan, and Shuofang. If they all look like the 200 people in front of him, then the current Shence Army can make people look at it with admiration.

It's just—the Shence Army who doesn't eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, is he still a Shence Army?Could it be a spy?

Feng Wei didn't know Mo Zaisi's identity, but after chatting with him, he knew if he still had the famous Dangxiang surname, and his attitude was very respectful.

General Mo is indeed capable, with top-notch riding and archery skills, obviously he has practiced hard for many years.The arrangements were well organized along the way, leading people several times to drive away unidentified people who spied on them, ensuring the safety of everyone.

There are more than [-] horses in the mission, and each person gets two horses.The river has been stable for many years, and there is a station in thirty miles. It is very convenient to replenish water and take care of the horses, so the speed of progress is extremely fast.But once they got off Wuling and entered the border of Zezhou, the speed slowed down because it was not easy to find supplies.

Li Hanzhi's fellow is called an official, but he is actually a thief!
Last year in the battle between Hedong and Xuanwu, when Kang Jun was retreating, Li Hanzhi set up a queen for Kang Jun, but he was not surrounded and eaten by others. It was really cheap for him!

Fortunately, the identity of an angel is still a deterrent, at least in Hedong.After all, Li Hanzhi was working under Li Keyong and did not dare to openly loot. The group finally arrived at Fukouxing on April 22.

Fukou is the fourth of the Taihang Eight Xings, an important east-west traffic route.It leads to Luzhou in the west, Jinyang in the northwest, and Fuyang County in the southeast (now west of Cixian County, Handan City). There is Fushan nearby, and Xingdao is in the mountains.

In the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty, Yecheng was the capital, and Jinyang was the actual center of power. The emperors traveled between the two palaces, several times a year, and walked this mountain road more often-"the emperors" were also suffering, but they were not beaten three times. Not bad.

After the group exited Fukou, they found a nearby village and bought grain to feed the horses.

Then move on, go straight to Weizhou via Cizhou.

Along the way, I saw many soldiers and horses heading towards Weizhou. They were all cavalry, and there were about 3000 cavalry.

"Mr. Feng, is Li Keyong going to attack Wei Bo? How do you mobilize the cavalry to go east?" Mo Zaisi looked away, and ran to Feng Wei's side to ask.

"This is not an attack on Weizhou, but an excuse." Feng Wei was also a little uncertain, but after much deliberation, this is the only possibility.

With more than 3000 cavalry, how can we take Wei Bo?When he fought Zhu Quanzhong, he could pull out more than 1 cavalry pawns.The three towns in Hebei, the remnants of Anshi, and the tradition of cavalry are quite deep.

The family background of the cavalry in Hedong is similar to that of Wei Bo, and Chengde and Youzhou have to laugh at it. Even the Yichang Army (Cangjing Jiedushi), who has always been low-key, has a family background that is no less than that of Hedong, or even more.

"Where is the excuse?" Mo Zaisi asked.

Feng Wei took a look at him, this General Mo lacks understanding of the overall situation of the world, only this point, or his future achievements may be limited.

"General Mo, you are a general in the Shence Army, and you can be said to be close to the water. When you have nothing to do, you can go to various towns to enter the theater to inquire about news. This is good for you. Pingkangli is more concentrated in the theater, so you can go shopping more visit."

"Feng Shijun is asking me to visit the brothel?" Mo Zaisi was startled, then lowered his voice and said: "As a general, set an example, if I go to the brothel, I will have no face to restrain the soldiers."

This remark made Feng Wei feel good, so he patiently explained: "Using Weibo to go to Yunzhou is consistent with our itinerary. Li Ke used his money to support brothers Zhu Xuan and Zhu Jin."

"Is it useful?" Mo Zaisi asked.

"I'm afraid it's useless." Feng Wei shook his head and said, "The origins of the two towns of Tianping and Taining are inseparable from Ziqing Town, which was more than ten years old in Lianzhou. There is a large group of cavalry. Thousands of them will not help the overall situation. Let us be careful, Weibo is not a place to worry. After leaving Weibo and entering Yunzhou, we must be more cautious. The Bian army may be attacking Erzhu If Shanzhou receives the news, make some preparations, it is estimated that they will go east to attack and harass."

The whole world is disturbed, and the "war season" of the new year has begun again.
