Chapter 214: I have to go to work
Xiao Cheng stayed in Fengjie and spent the whole day drinking and having fun in the inn he booked. When he first heard about it, Li Fang just laughed. For him, Xiao Cheng, who was like a playboy, made him feel more at ease.
Some. If it was really as powerful as the rumors say, he would be in a state of panic.
Kuizhou Road was very calm now. He didn't want Xiao Cheng to be the catfish thrown into the water and confuse the calm water.
The food never gets tired of fine food, and the food never gets tired of fine food. Although the spies cannot know the innermost truth, they can still find out about the food purchased every day. The sound of silk and bamboo coming from the inn every day, as well as the sound of women's laughter,
You can still get there.
At this point, Li Fang had to admire the Xiao family's strict management of the family.
They booked the inn, and the inn became a monolith. Countless people who wanted to inquire about some information could only hear about it. It's not that no one had the idea of bribing the Xiao family servants, but they were thrown out after their hands were broken.
One scene immediately made people give up the idea.
In fact, Li Fang didn't mind that Xiao Cheng was always acting recklessly here.
However, the news that just came back forced him to reconsider this issue.
Before Xiao Cheng went there, a big problem had already arisen in Qianzhou.
Dushan Huangze was beheaded.
It seems that Xiao Cheng is really a bad guy. Wherever he goes, there will be problems!
The road to Kuizhou had been peaceful for many years, but as soon as he arrived, something happened immediately!
Li Fang was very annoyed.
The death of one Huang Ze is not a big deal.
But if it ruins the peace of the entire Kuizhou road, it would be a slap in his old face.
"Chongwen, it's time for you to set off!" He still had the old face like a dead tree, but this time, a sharp light flashed in the eyes that had always seemed to be closed.
Xiao Cheng has never thought that Li Fang is really a fool. In fact, Li Fang, who has been able to sit in such a place for so many years, can convince everyone like Yang Si of Bozhou and Tianshi of Sizhou, regardless of his means.
Still thinking, they must be old-fashioned, or they have become lazy because they are getting older and don't want to do anything anymore, but such a person, as long as he opens his eyes, will definitely still be a lion that can eat people.
"Transporter, has something happened in Qianzhou?" Xiao Cheng asked with a thought in his heart.
Li Fang nodded slightly and pushed a file in front of Xiao Cheng.
"Ma Liang, the governor of Guizhou, is ill. You, the second lieutenant, must set out immediately to deal with this matter." Li Fang glanced at Xiao Cheng: "You are the son of the Xiao family, and you have a Jinshi background. How many people are watching you? Why?
How can you be so dissolute that you become the subject of criticism?"
Xiao Cheng smiled and bowed, thinking, I have been ridiculous for several days, and you didn't come to remind me that something happened, so you remembered me.
When I opened the file, my eyes suddenly lit up.
As expected, Yang Wanfu took action anyway.
It’s too late! It’s too late to take action!
But in the end, he still lived up to his expectations for him.
"This group of people who killed Huang Ze is extraordinary!" Li Fang shook his head and said: "The government has not found out their roots until now. Now they have Dushan under control. If it weren't for the recent
When Bai Xing from Sandu went to annihilate them, he was severely defeated and even Bai Xing was captured and taken away. I'm afraid we will still be kept in the dark!"
Xiao Cheng chuckled and closed the file.
"Why are you laughing?" Li Fang asked dissatisfied.
Xiao Cheng stopped laughing and said: "Transporter, I'm laughing at the many leaders of Jisuozhou in Qianzhou! This matter can't be hidden from Fengjie, how can it be hidden from the surrounding leaders?
What? But they concealed it one by one. They just wanted to get a piece of this incident. They all wanted to take advantage of this great opportunity to swallow the fat piece of Dushan. This Bai Xing was probably the first.
He just jumped out and didn't think of us until he suffered a loss."
"That's what they say, but they have this kind of virtue, so things still have to be taken care of." Li Fang said slowly and authentically.
"Yes, of course we have to take care of it." Xiao Cheng nodded.
Glancing at Xiao Cheng, Li Fang said: "Ma Liang is ill now, so you have to take charge of this matter and tell me what you think?"
"It's a coincidence that Ma Zhizhou is ill!" Xiao Cheng stabbed with a dry smile.
Li Fang lowered his eyelids, pretending not to hear Xiao Cheng's sarcasm.
"What do you want to do?"
"Transporter, this matter is easy to handle!" Xiao Cheng said nonchalantly: "Huang Ze is dead and can't survive. It's bad luck for him. Bai Xing deserves to lose and lose his troops. They are dog-eat-dog, so we don't need to worry too much."
Let's just recognize whoever wins in the end. They have fought and killed each other over the years, and the changing of leaders has no impact on the country. From my perspective, this is better."
"What's there to say?" Li Fang gently closed the lid of the teacup with a ding sound, raised his head, and stared at Xiao Cheng with his eyes seeming to open wider.
"The transport envoy is not of my race, so his thoughts must be different!" Xiao Cheng lowered his voice: "When a tribe rules a place for a long time, it will inevitably become too big to lose its tail. When it comes to the imperial court, it will inevitably be too lazy to take it seriously. Do you really think that you
They are the Tu emperors. For example, the Tian family in Sizhou and the Yang family in Bozhou, although they are still loyal to the court, who can guarantee that they will always be like this. If they have different intentions, it will be a big disaster!"
"Tian family and Yang family have always been loyal to the king, young people, don't talk nonsense." Although he was reprimanding Xiao Cheng, his tone was not as fierce, and his expression did not change at all. It was obvious that the transfer envoy had also thought about this.
problematic.
"So, I think it's a good thing to make a move like this, envoy. With a new leader, the reliance on us will be stronger. Maybe we can still rely on these new people to control these Ji Suozhou."
Be stronger!" Xiao Cheng said with a smile.
"So, you support those outsiders?"
"I don't care if they are outsiders or not, as long as they can control the situation, maintain the stability of Dushan County, and defeat the surrounding coveters, then I will recognize them!" Xiao Cheng smiled: "These Jisuozhou thugs
It doesn’t matter if we fight back and forth, but we must not send out a single soldier. Once we send out troops, we must report to the court, which would not be beautiful!"
These last few words simply spoke to Li Fang's heart.
It doesn't matter if these barbarians are beaten to death all of them.
He was also afraid that Xiao Cheng would be so happy when he saw the hunting spirit that he would take the officers and soldiers stationed in Qianzhou to suppress the bandits as soon as he arrived in Qianzhou!
Whenever troops and horses are mobilized, they must be reported to the Privy Council. Of course, the court will also know that the situation here is unstable, which is not good for his future.
This guy is quite knowledgeable.
"Well, I understand your idea, let's go and do it!" Li Fang waved his hand, "One rule is to stay as calm as possible and not let the situation escalate any further!"
"Yes, I know it!" Xiao Cheng stood up and bowed: "The transfer envoy will wait for the good news from me!"
Back at the inn, the smile on Xiao Cheng's face disappeared.
"Our intelligence system on Kuizhou Road is almost non-existent!" Holding the file, Xiao Cheng looked at Jiang Yingxue and said, "Look, Mr. Li Fang already knows it, but we don't know it yet."
Jiang Yingxue read the dossier at a glance, nodded and said: "Kuizhou Road has never been settled before. Our focus is on areas with better economies such as Yangzhou, and the forms here are complicated. We want to build a complete set of
It will take more time for the intelligence system to come. There is no need to argue, Erlang, since you are here, we will make great efforts to do this."
"When Yang Wanfu was ordered to come to Qianzhou half a year ago, it was time to start doing these things! I know you were caught up in the Jiangnan matter, so you must hurry up on this matter!" Xiao Cheng said: "I have to go to Qianzhou immediately.
Already."
"Yeah!" Jiang Yingxue nodded.
"You also go back immediately. Next, Yang Wanfu will need more support, manpower, money, weapons, etc., and we must try our best to transport them there. As long as he survives these few months this year, Dushan will become our
It is an important base." Xiao Cheng said: "A place that truly belongs to us, where we can paint and paint freely."
"I will arrange this matter myself!" Jiang Yingxue obviously understood the importance of this matter.
A team of fifty people left Fengjie overnight.
This team is led by Wei Wu, who will secretly sneak into Dushan to support Yang Wanfu. Now Yang Wanfu has no shortage of ordinary soldiers, but he definitely lacks a core that can be fully trusted and has a strong strike force.
Xiao Cheng's bodyguards only left a few people including Iron Hammer, Han Yu, and others. The others followed Wei Wu to Dushan.
Even Jiang Yingxue, most of the bodyguards around her also left, leaving only a few personal bodyguards to escort her back to Jiangnan.
The next day, Xiao Cheng formally bid farewell to Li Fang and embarked on his way to Qianzhou to take office.
Qianzhou itself was not big, but he commanded forty-nine Jisuo prefectures, and these forty-nine Jisuo prefectures included not only small powerful tribes like Huang Ze, but also small tribes like Sizhou, Tian clan, and Bozhou.
A huge local power like the Yang family.
Xiao Cheng asked Yang Wanfu to break the situation from Dushan. Naturally, what he wanted was not to let himself control a small Jisuo Prefecture. What he wanted was to integrate the entire forty-nine Jisuo Prefectures into one, which would become his next plan.
the fundamental place.
In other places in the Huangsong Dynasty that were directly controlled by the imperial court, it would be impossible for Xiao Cheng to achieve what he planned. Only in places where the control of the imperial court was extremely weak could he take action.
Just like in the northwest, he used party members to manipulate powerful figures like Ma Xing into applause, and achieved his goals step by step. Now the land north of Hengshan has basically been able to
It can be considered controlled by Xiao Ding.
Ma Xing probably never imagined that he had tried so hard to kill Li Xu, only to be replaced by Xiao Ding.
The only difference is that this one is more hidden.
But it's also more difficult to deal with.
When you stroke him along the way, he is a gentle and well-behaved kitten that snores. But if one day, you touch him against the fur and want to toss him, the well-behaved and cute kitten will suddenly change.
He became a terrifying giant insect that roared through the forest.
Until now, no one knows what Xiao Cheng is thinking, and no one knows what goal he wants to achieve.
Xiao Ding was persuaded by his younger brother and worked hard to manage a retreat for the Xiao family. He was a general in the Song Dynasty, but he was also the eldest son of the Xiao family, so Xiao Cheng didn't need to put in much effort to let him control him.
Let's go ahead with the blueprint drawn. Because now it seems that this step by step does not conflict with the interests of Huang Song.
Jiang Yingxue worked hard to make money, and poured the money she earned into what looked like bottomless pits one after another. Jiang Yingxue didn't understand why, but she didn't care. Without Xiao Cheng, there would be no her.
So even if Xiao Cheng threw the money he earned into the water and listened to the sound, she would clap and applaud him.
Only Xiao Cheng knows what he ultimately wants to do.
Imperial power!
Why are you so superior?
Why do you decide life and death with one word, honor and disgrace with one word?
You can exist, and now no one can overthrow the Zhao family's rule over the Song Dynasty.
But I just want to put the supreme power in your hands into a steel cage.
I don’t want my life, death, honor and disgrace to be controlled by one person and depend on one person’s happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy.
The princes fighting for the heir apparent and the powerful ministers fighting for the throne are just some chapters in this process.
Xiao Cheng worked hard to lay out the plan and slowly weaved a large net. When his wings became more mature, he could show his minions.
Of course, now, Xiao Cheng is just a small sixth-grade judge, riding hard on his horse all the way to Qianzhou.
And in Qianzhou, countless people involved are tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
Sun Jing stood in front of Tian's majestic gate with a look of helplessness on his face.
He accepted the generous gift he brought, but didn't say a word to him, let alone see him.
I have been taking Sizhou with me for half a month, and I haven’t even seen a single important figure in the Tian family, let alone the head of the Tian family.
This is a typical example of collecting money and not doing anything!
Although he was annoyed, he was helpless.
Strength determines everything. For Dushan County, the Tian family is a giant.
If we can get a promise from Mr. Tian, many things can be avoided. At least, Yang Wanfu and others don't have to work so hard now.
Yang Wanfu is indeed very hard now.
Internally, with a two-pronged approach, big sticks and sweet dates flying together, he has indeed suppressed it, and rebels like Bai Po and Bai Yan have been publicly displayed. But just like this, naturally it cannot convince people.
He must completely defeat external aggression.
These days, that's what he does.
Holding a piece of incense in his hand, Yang Wanfu closed his eyes and fell asleep immediately.
Being able to fall asleep after falling down is a skill he has developed over the years.
When the incense burned his fingers, Yang Wanfu jumped up. Amidst his loud shouts, three hundred elites woke up from their sleep and hurriedly embarked on the road.
What they have to deal with is the enemy from Nanping Prefecture.
Chapter completed!
