I was kicked out of the house, and I was reborn and became the emperor

Fang Yi straightened his back, nodded firmly to Wu Minbo who was sitting in the first seat, and frankly acknowledged his identity.

At the same time, his voice was filled with unshakable determination: "Sir, I am different from that foolish Marquis Wuwei. I am eager to establish a career in this chaotic world, serve the country, and benefit the people."

Wu Minbo stroked his beard gently, his eyes deep.

He had been watching Fang Yi's actions over the past few days, especially today's brilliant victory over the Jurchen cavalry with a small force, which made him think more highly of Fang Yi.

He nodded slowly and said encouragingly, "You have done a good job. Ningjin City needs talents like you. Stay here to train the soldiers and strengthen the city's defenses, and be ready to respond to possible Jurchen invasions at any time."

Fang Yi raised a confident smile and said firmly, "Sir, the Jurchens will not launch an offensive in the short term."

When Wu Minbo heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect that this young man was also quite knowledgeable about military tactics. He hurriedly asked the reason.

Fang Yi smiled mysteriously, thinking to himself: As a time traveler, I naturally know the direction of history very well, but obviously I cannot say this openly.

He hesitated for a moment and said, "Since the Jurchens have suffered a setback this time, they will definitely send spies to Ningjin City to investigate. We must take strict precautions to ensure that the intelligence in the city is not leaked and that they return empty-handed."

At this point, Fang Yi changed the subject, his eyes sparkling, "This is only the first reason. The second reason is about Fang Fan..."

He paused, as if choosing his words, "This man likes fame. Seeing my victory today, he will not be left behind and will take the initiative to lead the army to conquer the Jurchens in order to gain military merit. Although his ability is mediocre, he has a large number of troops, which is enough to delay time and buy precious strategic opportunities for our army."

After hearing this, Wu Minbo couldn't help but clap his hands in praise, with a helpless smile on his face: "Ah, Marquis Wuwei, ah, Marquis Wuwei, you are so stupid! You leave such a pillar of talent unused and favor that ignorant son!"

……

Inside Yunzhou City, the city gate was crowded with people, but amidst the hustle and bustle, the figure of Marquis Wuwei seemed particularly heavy.

His horse's hooves stepped on the stone slabs, making a dull sound, which echoed with Fang Fan's furrowed brow and solemn eyes behind him.

The corners of their clothes were covered with the dust of the battlefield. It seemed that the glory of victory did not bring them the joy they deserved, but instead filled their hearts with sorrow.

At the Wuwei Marquis Mansion, the vermilion gate suddenly opened, and there was a bustle inside and outside the mansion. The servants were hurrying around, their faces filled with joy of welcoming the returning hero.

Fang, wearing a gorgeous brocade dress, led everyone in the mansion and waited in front of the door early.

"Master, you are finally back!"

Marquis Wuwei dismounted from his horse, his brows full of gloom. In response to Fang's greeting, he just nodded slightly without saying a word.

When they entered the mansion, Fang saw this and hurriedly ordered the housekeeper to prepare a banquet, intending to use the banquet to dispel the gloom in his heart.

But Wu Wei Hou suddenly shouted angrily: "What kind of banquet is this! I'm so angry, how can I have an appetite!"

The anger in his voice made the servants around him shrink their necks involuntarily.

Fang was stunned. She was puzzled by the sudden anger, so she quietly pulled Fang Fan's sleeve and asked in a low voice: "Fan'er, what happened? Your father won the battle, why is he so unhappy?"

Fang Fan's face was gloomy, and his eyes revealed a hint of complicated emotions. He said softly to Fang: "Mother, you don't know that Fang Yi, that ruthless guy, has appeared again... and he can lead troops!"

Fang was stunned at first, then suddenly realized what was going on. She couldn't help but sneer: "Oh, that idiot, so what if he showed up? Can he really mess up the master's mind?"

There was a hint of disdain in his laughter, as if he had never taken that "waste" Fang Yi seriously.

At this time, Fang Yan behind Fang also laughed: "Oh, brother, you are teasing me! Fang Yi is so weak that he can't even protect himself, let alone lead the troops!"

Fang Fan became anxious and quickly explained: "You may not believe it, but it is absolutely true! Even my father knows that he not only leads the troops in Ningjin City, but is also deeply trusted by the prefect!"

Fang was surprised and even more unbelievable when she heard this. She shook her head repeatedly and repeated, "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible..."

"Mother, I saw it with my own eyes! Not only was that villain cunning, he also intended to harm me!"

After he finished speaking, he recreated the scene at that time in great detail and vividly.

Upon hearing this, Fang's face suddenly turned as dark as ink and he muttered a curse.

"This evil creature, even though he has left the Fang family's wing, still tries to stir up trouble and harm our Fang family! Master, you must not let him off easily!"

The previously silent Marquis Wuwei suddenly slammed the table and said, "Of course it is so. I will make Fang Yi, an ambitious man, pay the price!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he showed some hesitation.

"but……"

Fang looked puzzled and asked quickly, "Master, what's the problem?"

Marquis Wuwei glanced at Fang Fan and finally revealed his true feelings: "Because the Northern Frontier is in great need of manpower right now, I am worried that if the Jurchen tribe attacks again, our Northern Frontier defense line may be difficult to resist!"

"Will the court just sit back and do nothing?"

Marquis Wuwei smiled bitterly and responded:

"Reason? I am very lucky that His Majesty has not sentenced me to death immediately!"

After all, he is also to blame for the current predicament of Northern Xinjiang!

At this time, Fang Fan suddenly stepped out and said loudly:

"Father, do you realize that there are many suspicious aspects to Fang Yi's victory over the Jurchens this time?"

Hearing this, Fang Chengping's eyes lit up.

"Oh? I'd like to hear the details!"

Fang Fan was full of confidence and spoke eloquently:

"Do you remember how terrified Fang Yi was when you were chasing him? He was so frightened that he was unable to resist your sword. How could such a person defeat the enemy? Then why can't we defeat the Jurchens?"

"My son, what you said makes sense! So what do you want?"

Marquis Wuwei still didn't understand Fang Fan's intentions.

Fang Fan endured the pain and forced himself to kneel down despite his injured body.

"Please understand my father! I am willing to lead my troops to bypass Ningjin City and directly attack the heartland of the Jurchens! If we can succeed in this battle, not only will the reputation of the Fang family spread far and wide to the court, but the court will also not investigate my father's deficit!"

After a pause, he continued:

"Father, you will no longer be controlled by Wu Minbo. Isn't this killing three birds with one stone?"

"What a great achievement! Faner is indeed a child of our Fang family! He is nothing like that evil creature who is so ungrateful!"

Fang Chengping's blood was obviously boiling with excitement at Fang Fan's speech.

"Okay! Fan'er, you stay at home and recuperate for a few days. After three days, I will order you to be the vanguard and rush directly to the heart of the Jurchens! By then, Wu Minbo will know who has the final say in the northern border!"
