Fu Song

Chapter 613
With a bang, a knife with its sheath slammed heavily on the case of Wang Wencai, the magistrate of Caizhou.

"Feng Bo, what do you want to do?" Looking at Caizhou's garrison standing in front of him with a grin, Feng Bo, the commander of the forbidden army, Wang Wencai was furious after recovering.

"What do I want to do? Wang Zhizhou, Your Majesty ordered our troops to move out immediately to reinforce Song City in response to the Song army's offensive, but the soldiers and horses have not yet moved, and the food and grass have to go first. You have been refusing to allocate money for a long time. How can our troops go out? If this is a mistake Can you take care of your Majesty's affairs?" Feng Bo put his hand on the knife, his thick knuckles stroking the carvings on the scabbard, the scar on his face was red, and he looked extraordinarily ferocious.

"Commander Feng, I remember that I have paid for all the food and grass that should be there, and there is no difference!" Wang Wencai sneered: "Do you want your logistics officer to come to me to reconcile the account with Cao, a householder in the state?" ?”

"The food and grass are given, but what about the opening fee?" Feng Bo slowly unsheathed half an inch, and the sound of sizzling made people flustered.

"What fee?" Wang Wencai was surprised.

"Departure fee! Brothers, this is a desperate effort. Departure fee and settling fee must be paid first, otherwise, how can the brothers be willing to leave? There will be troubles at that time, but Zhizhou can afford it?" Feng Bo choked. With a sound, the knife was put back into the sheath, and the upper body leaned out.

"What kind of departure fee, I have never heard of it."

"I'll just smell it today!" Feng Bo laughed loudly: "Wang Zhizhou, if you don't give it to me, the brothers won't be willing to attack, and if you miss the king's business, then the general will lose his head, so, finally I will have to pick it up myself!"

"What do you want to do?" Seeing Feng Bo walking straight out, Wang Wencai was shocked.

"The Zhizhou didn't give it to me, so I had to find a way by myself. It's only [-] guan, I think it's easy to collect all of them!" Feng Bo said coldly.

"Come back, I'll give it!" Wang Wencai gritted his teeth, glared at Feng Bo, and clenched his hands into fists that rattled.

Feng Bo's so-called self-acquisition is naturally going to plunder, and I'm afraid it will be bloody soon. Is it possible for those soldiers to just grab a little money?It must be burning, killing, looting, and doing everything.

Feng Bo laughed loudly: "The general will know that Zhizhou is sympathetic to those of us with our heads tied on the waistband of our trousers."

Seeing Feng Bo leaving in a hurry, Wang Wencai sat down slumped.

Song Dynasty had only died for a few days, and these military generals rode on the heads of civil officials one by one to defecate and defecate, and they were invincible.

This world is in great chaos, and the use of martial arts is finally banned. No wonder since the beginning of Taizu, he has wanted to severely restrain the power of military generals.

"Zhizhou, [-] guan, how can there be so much money in the treasury? In order to prepare them for this battle, they have already spent almost all of it." A few long whiskers.

"What can we do? Take my post, invite those big households, and tell them something. If you put it together, you can always get [-] coins!" Wang Wencai sighed.

"What are you talking about for the soldiers' mobilization fee? I'm afraid they asked for it themselves?" Hu Cao Canjun himself is a big family in the local area. After hearing this, he knew that this time hemorrhage was inevitable again, and he couldn't help gnashing his teeth with hatred. "It's better if you don't come back!"

Hearing his cursing, Wang Wencai remained silent.

As the Song army launched an offensive, took down Xiayi, and captured Huanghai alive, the soldiers and horses went all out and pointed directly at Shangqiu, Songcheng and other places. Quzhen couldn't help but panic.

Deploy troops everywhere to reinforce Shangqiu and Songcheng.

Even the soldiers and horses stationed in Tokyo City, tens of thousands of people are concentrating on the above two places.

The entire territory of Zhao State began to mobilize. Except for the army stationed in Nanyang, the rest were either moving to Shangqiu Song City or moving to Tokyo City.

At the same time, Qi's soldiers and horses suddenly became active and moved towards Xuzhou.

Gradually, there is some meaning of the Qi-Zhao alliance.

Pull one and mobilize the whole body, because the Song army attacked Xiayi and threatened Shangqiu, but it attracted several forces to participate, and a large-scale war was about to break out.

In the Central Plains New Year, which had been quiet for half a year, suddenly the flames of war broke out again.

A few days later, Feng Bo, who had received the [-] guan launch fee, led his army all the way north with satisfaction, leaving Wang Wencai full of worries about the empty treasury.

These bastards who lead the army only know how to ask and keep reaching out their hands, but they don't understand that if the people are not allowed to recuperate and give birth, how can they ask for anything?
Now I have nothing in my hands. When spring comes, it will be spring sowing. At that time, there will be no seeds, farm tools, and livestock. The spring of a state must be missed.

You miss the ground for a while, and the land misses you for a year.

What should I do if there is no harvest?
After thinking about it, I still can only go to the big family to fight the autumn wind.

It doesn’t matter if you ask for it with a shy face, you can ask for it on credit. The necessary seeds and farm tools must be prepared. As for the large livestock, they have almost been searched by Feng Bo and the others. Those big households must also refuse to lend them. If there are not many large livestock, it can only rely on manpower.

Anyway, it is serious to prepare the things for spring plowing tomorrow.

"Don't think about having a good year!" He angrily said to some of his soldiers who joined the army: "In the days to come, let's go to our homes to fight the autumn wind!"

Cai Zhongxin, the big family in Xincai, is undoubtedly the largest family in Caizhou. It is a bit exaggerated to say that more than half of the land in Xincai belongs to his family, but [-]% to [-]% is definitely there.

In the past, Wang Wencai absolutely looked down on Cai Zhongxin.

What about money?
The money is dirty!
Businessmen, who charge low and sell high, hoard and hoard, all the bad things are done by these people.

After earning some unclean money, he returned to his hometown to buy land and property. Over the past ten years, he has accumulated a huge wealth.

But regardless of his wealth, even Feng Bo didn't dare to take this family's idea too far.

Because the Cai family, when the Liao people marched south, began to recruit people to build walls and build a fort to protect themselves. Today, the Cai family fort has high walls and deep fortifications, with thousands of villagers.

Of course, Cai Zhongxin didn't discount Cai Zhou's not-too-excessive daily demands, and it was precisely because of this that he still maintained a good relationship with the government.

Now, Wang Wencai needed Cai Zhongxin to take the lead and contribute to the stability of the state. Even out of the [-] guan given to Feng Bo just now, the Cai family paid [-] guan.

Standing outside Caijiabao, looking up at the tall rammed-earth fortress covered with blue bricks, Wang Wencai's face twitched a few times. If it was in the past, the Caijia would definitely be suppressed by a big hat with evil plans Yes, but now, it is such a fortress that can make people around feel at ease.

At least Xincai, because of the existence of Caijiabao, has a lot of peace.

Anyway, ordinary bandits would not dare to come here, even the arrogant and domineering Feng Bo came here to act wildly, and after being beaten up, Feng Bo only sent someone to ask for a little soup and medicine fee, and then stopped.

To put it bluntly, it makes sense to have a hard fist.

The rituals are broken and the music is broken, and the rules are gone.

Wang Wencai's sigh came crashing down with the suspension bridge in front of him, and Cai Wenxin walked out quickly with fists clasped and turned into a smile all over his face.

"Mr. Cai, come to disturb me again!"

"It's Cai's honor that Zhizhou is willing to come to the door, and he invites a distinguished guest who can't even come!" Cai Wenxin laughed. Cai Wenxin, who is tall and long-armed, is not like a businessman, but like a martial arts man.

However, Wang Wencai knew the details of this person very well. He was a local, but he failed in literature, so he went into business instead.

His family was originally just a local squire, and some of the family property was in his hands, which made it shine. However, more than ten years ago, it almost became the largest family in Caizhou.

"Cai Yuanwai's fortress is much stronger than the state city!" Stepping into the stockade, as the suspension bridge was pulled up, the fort gate was closed, and the entire fortress was almost isolated from the outside world.Wang Wencai panicked for no reason.

"Zhizhou, there is nothing we can do about it! It's not peaceful outside now, needless to say about thieves, those bandits, mountain bandits, and horse thieves are really hard to guard against. They dare not attack the city of Zhou, but they dare to come to us These small households are running wild, there is no way, the big guys can only gather together to defend themselves." Cai Zhong said: "If General Feng is more powerful, I will spend so much money to build such a fort!"

Wang Wencai laughed a few times.

Look at the Baoding in the fort, each of them is holding a knife and holding a gun, and they are full of energy. They are more heroic than the officers and soldiers in the city.

"How many people are there in the castle now?"

"There are not many people living there, but when there is a disturbance, people from all over the country and eight miles will come to seek refuge, and there will be more people!" Cai Zhongxin said with a smile: "At most, there will be one or two thousand people, but that's not enough. Fill the castle to the brim. Under normal circumstances, there are only two or three thousand people!"

"Like this?" Wang Wencai pointed at the young men.

"This kind of money is usually only three to five hundred, but if there is any trouble, you can gather a thousand or two thousand at will." Cai Zhongxin said with a smile: "The knives and guns they usually use are all kept here with me!"

Seeing that Wang Wencai's face became quite ugly, Cai Zhongxin said directly: "I bought these knives and guns from General Feng Bofeng, and General Feng knows about it!"

Wang Wencai's complexion became even uglier.

"I came here this time to ask Mr. Cai to donate generously again, so that the state can prepare seeds and farm tools for next year's spring plowing." Wang Wencai stopped and didn't want to go in again.

Cai Zhongxin is too presumptuous!
Some things, if you don't say it, I can pretend that I don't know it. If you want to say it, I can't control it. Isn't it too embarrassing.

"Money is not a problem!" Cai Zhongxin laughed, and held Wang Wencai's sleeve impolitely, and said, "Zhizhou, it's rare to come to Caijiabao, why don't you have a cup of tea before leaving!"

Wang Wencai was a little terrified, and suddenly felt that today's trip might be a mistake. Cai Zhongxin is not like this usually, at least in front of him, he is still respectful, but today, the other party's behavior is too unusual.

Looking back, I looked at the closed gate of Baozi, looked at my dozen or so attendants, who were surrounded by the Zhuang Ding of Baozi at the moment, I don’t know what they were talking about, and bursts of laughter burst out from time to time, and they followed closely behind me. Hu Cao Canjun behind him, with a pale face, obviously felt that something was wrong.

Stepping into the hall, a young man stood in front of the hall, looked at Wang Wencai, but smiled and clasped his hands together, saying, "Luo Xin, I met Wang Zhizhou."

"Luo Xin?" Wang Wencai was a little confused, he had never heard of this name.

Cai Zhongxin on the side added: "Brother Luo is currently serving as the teaching staff of the six subjects in the Jiangning court, and he is Xiao Shoufu's most capable helper!"

Wang Wencai's legs suddenly became weak. If Cai Zhongxin hadn't supported him, he would have sat on the ground on the spot.

"Wang Zhizhou, the Qu thief conspired against the country and betrayed the country. Wang Zhizhou was weak in the past and had to follow the thief, but in the past two years, Wang Zhizhou has governed the region and tried to keep Caizhou safe. Mr. Xiao admired it very much, so Let me persuade Wang Zhizhou to abandon darkness and turn to light, it is not too late!"

Wang Wencai turned to look at Cai Zhongxin with a look of despair on his face.

"Wang Zhizhou, Mr. Cai's current achievements over the years are all thanks to Mr. Xiao's great blessing. Now, Xiao is also a member of the Great Song Chamber of Commerce and has a voting right." Cai Wenxin said with a smile: "Wang Zhizhou not only Love the people, and also have the ability to govern the local area, these things were informed by Mrs. Cai to my husband, that's why the Caizhou business was recruited, other places, such as Chenzhou, don't have this kind of treatment."

Luo Xin smiled and said: "Wang Zhizhou is quite famous in Caizhou, and he and Caigong can be regarded as a perfect match. With the two of them raising their arms, everyone in Caizhou will definitely respond and turn their hands over!"

So far, what else can Wang Wencai say?
Moreover, Jiangning and the New Song Dynasty are coming aggressively now, and it is orthodox that is recognized by the whole world. It may not be his wish to return to the banner of the country.

The next day, Wang Wencai and Cai Zhongxin returned to Zhoucheng with nearly [-] township troops. Immediately, the flag of Zhao State was lowered in Zhoucheng.

At the same time, Yu Sheng, the commander of the Yingzhou Imperial Army, led [-] Yingzhou Imperial Army and [-] Xiang Army, and suddenly invaded Chenzhou. The army became more ferocious. In three days, they broke through Huaiyang and Kewanqiu, killed Huang Jing, the magistrate of Chenzhou, and the forbidden army controlled Shi Rui.

It can't be said that they were unprepared. It can only be said that this army came too fast. Along the way, basically the opponents were completely defeated by this army before they could complete their assembly.

This result led to the fact that the imperial army stationed in Caizhou led by Fang Bo, who had not left Caizhou, was blocked in the territory.

Moving forward, a tiger-like army blocked the front,

turn back?Wang Zhizhou has already raised the banner of the Song Dynasty, and now with the help of Cai Zhongxin, the powerful landlords in Caizhou have organized a local regiment to train troops and are sharpening their swords.

When the news came, thousands of forbidden troops and more Xiang troops ran away for less than half in one night.
