Chapter 147 Homecoming
Chapter 147: Going home
Whenever Mr. Zhen went to a city, one thing he had to do was to inspect the Zhen family's shop. Therefore, Fang Zhiwen realized that in the same city, there were usually two or three shops with different business names. As for why he did this, when Mr. Zhen was curiously asked Mr. Zhen, Mr. Zhen smiled without saying a word.
Mr. Zhen Er’s second hobby is shopping, which is more powerful than women. Perhaps it is precisely because of this reason that Xiangxiang likes to be with him. Mr. Zhen Er is very familiar with the value of goods and various business techniques. Therefore, following him shopping not only can you buy cheap and good things, but more importantly, you can learn a lot and experience the real fun of shopping. This is Xiang Xiang’s original words.
When Fang Zhiwen went to play intrigue with Liu Yu, Xiangxiang naturally took Mr. Zhen to go shopping. Old Man Lin really wanted to meet Liu Yu with Fang Zhiwen. On the one hand, he wanted to meet this famous celebrity with a very good reputation in history. On the other hand, he also wanted to know what Fang Zhiwen was going to talk to Liu Yu. Unfortunately, Fang Zhiwen didn't mention it, and Old Man Lin had no reason to make this request. After all, he was just a priest who had a somewhat suspicious identity, not Fang Zhiwen's close aide. In desperation, he had to go shopping, but Xiangxiang would not go along with him.
Fang Zhiwen and Liu Yu did not meet for a long time. When he returned to the inn, the two groups of people who went out shopping had not come back yet. Fang Zhiwen did not intend to find them. He sat alone under the shade of the trees in the inn yard, quietly thinking about his thoughts.
He is now facing a very complicated situation. Compared with the strategy on the grassland, the task of stabilizing Youzhou is really challenging. Of course, Fang Zhiwen is neither an emperor nor an intelligent brain, nor so strongly dominated. His current development direction must be outside the Great Wall.
The reason for stabilizing Youzhou is, on the one hand, that it is naturally hoped that there would be a reassuring rear that would not suddenly appear, nor would it cause high prices due to war. On the other hand, it is to see if the intelligent brain of Youzhou, which has gradually deviated from the historical development trajectory, can accept it?
Just imagine, if Liu Yu did not die, what would happen if he had confronted Gongsun Zan in Youzhou for a long time? If Gongsun Zan was really transferred to Yuyang by Liu Yu to control him nearby, would Zhang Chun, who had switched to Youbeiping, be forced to rebel? Will Liaodong, Lelang and Xuantu County, which had a vacuum of power, be occupied by Gongsun Du, who took advantage of the situation?
If all this is formed, Youzhou will enter a small Warring States era, what will happen to the players? There are many top player forces concentrated within the scope of the Miyun Secret Path. If these player forces participate in the changes in Youzhou, especially after the Yellow Turban, players will definitely participate in Youzhou affairs in depth.
If players are smart, they can completely take advantage of the contradictions of these forces to gain huge development space in Youzhou. What's more, Fang Zhiwen also plans to open up a huge development space for players outside the border. Youzhou may become the center of the game in the future.
Fang Zhiwen does not necessarily need to control these changes. To be honest, he neither has the IQ nor the ability. However, as long as he properly uses the power of his own power to influence all the forces in Youzhou and light up the fire, everything will gradually deviate from the original historical trajectory and develop in another direction.
Not to mention anything else, the local family in Youzhou that Liu Yu could not control was likely to be replaced by Fang Zhiwen's defeat of Wuhuan and open up the market outside the border and support Fang Zhiwen and open up new land resources outside the border, so as to no longer pay too much attention to Youzhou's local land resources, and alleviate the conflict with Liu Yu.
Similarly, the change in the position of these aristocratic families will reduce their support for Gongsun Zan. With this in and out, the power of Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan will be balanced. With the restraint of Fang Zhiwen's forces, the final development direction will not be said to be really moving towards the route of Fang Zhiwen's plan.
As for another extremely important piece on the Fang Zhiwen chessboard - players, these players who are afraid of the world will definitely support a split Youzhou, rather than a unified Youzhou.
Today, Fang Zhiwen was able to reach a tacit understanding with Liu Yu. It has to be said that Fang Zhiwen’s early layout was successful. This is naturally not because Fang Zhiwen’s character is overwhelming, nor because his little butterfly’s wings are super strong, but because he is in line with the trend. Fang Zhiwen’s plan is beneficial to players, to the families of Youzhou, to Liu Yu, and even to Zhang Chun. The only disadvantage is Gongsun Zan. Under such a general trend, the attitude of the intelligent brain has finally been clear, and a fragmented Youzhou is gradually brewing and taking shape.
...................................................................................
Shortly after passing Changping, Fang Zhiwen and his party arrived at the junction of Yan State and Yuyang. From afar, Fang Zhiwen saw the black cavalry unit, which was the 8,000 cavalry unit of Miyun Fortress led by Duan Zigang. These are all the troops in Fang Zhiwen's hands on the surface.
The joke just arrived at the junction of the two counties to welcome Fang Zhiwen. It was not his own flattery, but his actions after Tian Chou, Li Xueyin and Murong Fang discussed it. On the one hand, it was naturally to protect Fang Zhiwen's safety. Now his importance is different from the past. If Fang Zhiwen gets an accident, there will be major changes in the entire Youzhou, so it is difficult to guarantee that no one will have the idea of Fang Zhiwen.
On the other hand, it was also an armed parade that showed the strength of Miyun Fortress to some people, including the local forces and player forces in Youzhou, so that they could think carefully about whether they should cooperate with Miyun Fortress or do it right?
Xian Yu Yin, who sent Fang Zhiwen to the border, saw that Fang Zhiwen's own troops arrived, and he consciously said goodbye to Fang Zhiwen and returned to report his life. Liu Yu Yu could naturally think of the problem that Tian Chou could think of. Now he was the one who least wanted something to happen to Fang Zhiwen, so he sent Xian Yu Yin to bring 4,000 cavalrymen to escort Fang Zhiwen away.
Fang Zhiwen gathered the excited jokes. The two pieces combined with about 10,000 people. This unit was definitely overwhelming. Fang Zhiwen, Xiangxiang and others were used to seeing big scenes, but they didn’t feel anything. This was the first time that Old Man Lin and Mr. Zhen Er saw such a large-scale cavalry unit. They were shocked by this scene. The cavalry unit of about 10,000 was just marching, which was already so sensational. If it were a battle of tens of thousands of cavalry, what a spectacular scene it would be!
Xiao Ning, behind Mr. Zhen, was also excited and her face turned red, and her eyes seemed to be insufficient. She looked left and right happily, and her passion was quite surging in her heart. No wonder people who have been on the battlefield are different! After being influenced by this exciting situation for a long time, people's minds will be much broader.
In addition to the Hu people invaded outside the Great Wall a few years ago, the largest cavalry operation in Yuyang in recent years is that today the Youzhou cavalry of Miyun Fortress went south to greet their lords. The people of Yuyang County, both indigenous people and players, were shocked. The players who had just entered the Miyun Secret Path were still a little careful. Now after seeing the elite cavalry of Miyun Fortress, they finally temporarily put away their inappropriate ideas.
It seems that there is still a long way to go if you want to defeat Fang Zhiwen!
In front of the powerful cavalry, Zhu Xie Piyi, except for the players watching from afar, Fang Zhiwen basically did not encounter decent troops along the way, including wild monsters. It seemed that they had avoided Fang Zhiwen's cavalry from afar today. Although the wild monsters were not very high, they were not stupid enough to touch the stone.
Due to the entry of a large number of player forces, the front line has gradually stabilized to the north of Miyun Pass, and the mountainous areas on the south have completely stabilized. Players are working hard to develop their towns. Due to the terrain of Miyun Pass, it is impossible for player towns to be built on the mountain. So along the way, Fang Zhiwen saw many player towns. Of course, attacks and battles between players are indispensable.
After entering the Miyun Mountain area, Mr. Zhen Er and Mr. Lin said less and less. They were carefully observing the situation of the Miyun Secret Trail, especially the terrain and the distribution of players' towns. Mr. Zhen Er was so serious because the Zhen family was likely to establish a future base camp here. As for Mr. Lin so serious, Fang Zhiwen didn't know what he was thinking. Fang Zhiwen had never figured out the idea of this cunning old man.
As she got closer to Miyun Fortress, Xiangxiang's emotions became a little uncontrollably excited, and Fang Zhiwen was also affected. Could this be the timidity of being close to home or the joy of going home?
Fang Zhiwen felt the long-lost warm feeling in his heart, home? This word that seemed to have been forgotten for a while, but still felt a little illusory and ethereal, is slowly permeating and growing deep in Fang Zhiwen's heart. Even if this is just a hundred years of travel, a passerby in the dream, perhaps, this place that can leave your memories, support your growth, and be worthy of your efforts to maintain can, no, be called "home"!
The flags of the fortress are already in sight. On the plain in front of the Miyun Fortress, which was expanded repeatedly by the intelligence brain, a small team of black cavalry was standing quietly. These were the generals of the Miyun Fortress, including Li Xueyin, who were waiting for their lords and their leaders to return. Their faces were full of excitement and expectation. For those generals who longed for war, the return of the lords represents the beginning of a new round of conquest, and the peaceful days of Miyunsai are about to end!
Although the sun was hanging high in the sky, dark clouds were gradually gathering on the vast grasslands in the northwest. The good weather was about to end. Tadun stopped on the ridge, and under the hillside to the north was a vast pasture and a flock of white sheep. It was the pasture that the Wuhuan people had just opened up. Looking at the dark clouds spreading from the north, I felt a dull feeling in my heart that the wind and rain were coming.
