I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 3

"Guo Shixun, a brainless greedy guy, a Jiedu envoy actually took people to such a thing? If he is greedy for this, he will die."

"The son of a thousand gold can't sit in the court, and he is responsible for the three armies. He is so rash. No wonder the old man said that he is greedy and frivolous, but he can't be a commander. He is absolutely right."

In the large carriage, Fu Maoxiu scolded Guo Shixun, the former governor of Hexi, in front of several trusted staff members.

Several staff members could only shake their heads and smile wryly, not daring to respond.

After all, he was the former Jiedu envoy, and the imperial court gave him many titles after his death.They still understand the truth of being taboo for His Holiness.Fu Maoxiu scolded them, they can't chat casually.

Furthermore, even if Guo Shixun was alive, Fu Maoxiu would dare to scold him in front of his face.

Although he was still on the way, all the details of the information from Hexi had already been gathered to Fu Maoxiu one by one.

Although Mr. Fu has never fought in a war, the Fu family has four generations, and the three generations are all famous generals.

He still understands the principle of knowing the enemy and knowing yourself and never ending a hundred battles, so he attaches great importance to Hexi's intelligence.

After all, the former Jiedushi was also considered a veteran on the battlefield, and he was once a subordinate of the old British Duke, that is, Fu Jinchuan's grandfather.

The main reason why the sandbar was breached was because there were Hu merchants who opened the city gates for Qingtang people as secret agents, and these Hu merchants had sent a lot of money to Guo Shixun before, so they were allowed to freely enter and exit Hexi Road.

This is greed.

It can be said that the instigator of the fall of Shazhou City was Guo Shixun, the Jiedu envoy who had been attacked and killed by the vassal.

And he, a Jiedu envoy with nearly [-] troops, was attacked and killed because of corruption.

greedy for merit.

Rumors from Hexi Jiefu Cao got the news that Qingtang was going to send secret envoys to the Golden Horde Khanate in the north by a small road. The purpose of course was to strengthen ties and seek to jointly deal with the Jin Dynasty.

So the Master Jiedushi personally took hundreds of cavalry to intercept him. As a result, the news leaked out and was learned by the nearby vassals. Thousands of cavalry were sent to chase him to the raising pen station outside Ganzhou City, and surrounded him in one fell swoop. kill.

Because of greed for money, the sandbar fell, and because of greed for merit, he died.

To the point that Fu Maoxiu, a well-known corrupt official in the capital, jumped his feet, which shows how greedy he is.

In fact, this Duke is more reluctant to go to the splendor and prosperity of the capital, and naturally has some resentment towards the dead Guo Shixun who still let him drink the northwest wind.

As for making meritorious deeds, Fu Maoxiu had no interest in it.

He is already a hereditary Duke, so what if he makes great contributions?Can you still become king?
Wu Renguang, the king of Yan who sits in Liaoji, is the only king with a different surname in the Jin Dynasty. With an army of 10,000+, his prestige spreads far and wide, and he dominates one side.

However, prosperity is bound to decline, and if a military commander does that, he is afraid that he will end badly and accumulate children and grandchildren!

Grandpa Guo sighed and sighed in the carriage in front, and Zhongyi Saburo sat in the carriage behind him, looking outside from time to time.

In fact, Fu Jinchuan prefers to ride a horse, but after a few days of riding, he got into the car.

After all, the distance is far away, and it is more comfortable to take a car.

Sitting in the same car with Fu Jinchuan was an old man. Looking at his age in his 60s, he had a gray beard and hair. Although he was old, he still had a vigorous figure. He sat in the car with his eyes closed and rested.

"Old Huang, have you been to Hexi? How's it going there?"

"I've been there. Back then, the old Patriarch led [-] cavalry to attack Gaochang Kingdom by surprise. He also set off from Guanzhong and spent a day in Liangzhou, Hexi. Liangzhou is vast, and you will know it when you see it. Good wine."

Speaking of this, the old man surnamed Huang smacked his lips, as if he was missing the taste of the wine.

"I remember that battle, and I still remember that it was written in the military newspaper that the king of Gaochang Jab Jia Shi only escaped with his own body."

Fu Jinchuan, as a noble son, is naturally aware of the glorious deeds of his ancestors.

"It's not just to escape, there are also a few master guards from the Buddhist sect."

The old man said very flatly.

"What about the Buddhist sect?" Fu Jinchuan asked curiously.

The old man surnamed Huang nodded: "King Gaochang murdered his brother to usurp the throne. Behind it is the Golden Horde Khanate and the Buddhist sect. The Golden Horde also promised that if our army conquered Gaochang, they would also send troops. But they did not expect that the old Patriarch would send troops from Guanzhong It took only three months to destroy the Gaochang Kingdom, and the Golden Horde Khanate had no time to react. This is the speed of soldiers."

The old Patriarch mentioned by the old man surnamed Huang was Fu Jinchuan's grandfather, the late Fu Xun, King Wuyi of the Northland.

20 years ago, the king of Gaochang, Zhepu Jiashi, killed his brother to stand on his own, and openly rebelled against Jin. The news was sent back to Shangjing. Ganzhou, to Yumen, and then a surprise attack on Gaochang Wangcheng, Gaochang Kingdom was destroyed in World War I, and it took only three months.

Gaochang King Zhapu Jiashi could only escape to the Western Regions under the protection of Buddhist masters, and has never been seen since then.

The original Gaochang Kingdom was divided into four under the auspices of Fu Xun, and each of the four sons of the original Gaochang King Jabnayan received one, which is now the four major vassals. Since then, Gaochang Kingdom has become history.

The assassination of Hexi Jiedu envoy Guo Shixun was one of them.

However, there is no definite information about which one it is, and how to deal with the four major vassals is also a headache for Fu Maoxiu, the new Hexi Jiedu envoy.

"Are the masters of the Buddhist sect difficult to deal with? Otherwise, you wouldn't be unable to keep that Gaochang king."

"It's difficult to deal with. The master of the Buddhist sect has a strong aura. The arhat array he set up has some skills. A total of eighteen came, and I chopped down eight and shot two to death. I was also a little weak at that time. They ran away."

Speaking of this, the old priest felt a little regretful.

But Fu Jinchuan's eyes lit up when he heard it, "I heard that the monk of Xiangguo Temple said that the Eighteen Arhat Formation of the Buddhist School in the Western Regions needs eighteen monks of the fourth rank or above to perform it. It is said that it can hold back thousands of troops. But I didn't expect that I couldn't stop you, Mr. Huang."

"Thousands of troops and horses? Buddhist sects really dare to brag. Only those few monks I met have some skills, but if a thousand cavalry, they can be trampled into mud. Sanlang, remember, the world in this world There are plenty of warriors who can defeat hundreds of people, but if you really go to the battlefield and face thousands of troops alone, even a first-rank master will be exhausted if you are not careful, so I always advise you to pay more attention to the art of war. , You have to learn from your grandfather, don’t try to imitate every day like an old pawn like me to show off your power in the market, and you won’t be able to kill a few people on the battlefield.”

After hearing this, Fu Jinchuan laughed hehe. He wanted to laugh no matter what he heard when Qian Renju said that he didn't kill a few people.

This old priest is named Huang Zhengong, an old man of the Fu family, a veteran of hundreds of battles who fought with Fu Jinchuan's great-grandfather and grandfather, and is also the only sturdy warrior who has killed more than a thousand military exploits since the founding of the Jin Dynasty. By virtue of the number of enemies he has killed, he is a fierce man who has achieved the rank of General Yunhui of the fourth rank.

In the Fu family, he is regarded as the elder of the family, and even the owner of the family, Fu Maoxiu, the British princess, has to respectfully address this old man as "Uncle Huang."

If the name Huang Zhengong had been mentioned in the army 20 years earlier, it would have been known to everyone in the army as the enemy of ten thousand people.

Although he has retired from the army for many years and his reputation is not obvious now, his martial arts cultivation is unfathomable, even if he meets the four famous masters all over the world, he may not be unable to fight.

Now recognized as the number one master in the Great Jin Army, and one of the top ten masters in the world, Marquis of Wuyang Yu Luohu is a named disciple of the old man, and he would visit the Duke's Mansion every year and festival.

One is to thank the late old Duke for his support and friendship, and the other is to thank Huang Zhengong for his kindness in teaching.

And Fu Jinchuan has been practicing martial arts with this old priest since he was a child, which always means that he should learn more about military tactics and tactics, as long as he can strengthen his body in terms of martial arts cultivation.

But when it comes to instructing martial arts, he never hides his own selfishness, and teaches each other with all his pockets.

Speaking of it, Fu Jinchuan's martial arts talent is very good, but it is only good, and it is not enough compared to a real martial arts genius.However, this temperament is very appetizing to Huang Zhengong.

As for why Fu Jinchuan was so persistent in martial arts, Huang Zhengong also guessed one or two.

After all, Her Royal Highness the princess is a swordsman who is rare in a hundred years. How could Fu Jinchuan, with such a strong temper, be willing to fall behind others?

Especially the future wife.

If this can't beat the future daughter-in-law, what a shame.
Where there is flesh and blood, there must be contention.

Therefore, when Fu Jinchuan practiced martial arts, he also felt that he would not survive if he was not crazy.

Since he started practicing martial arts at the age of six, he has been exercising his body every day.

He started practicing swords at the age of eight, swinging the sword thousands of times a day without stopping.

He started to practice guns at the age of 12, and it took an hour to stand on the gun pile with a big pole.

Now 16 years old, even twenty or thirty soldiers can't get close to him.

For this perseverance, Huang Zhengong also believed that even if he lost a little in talent, his future achievements in martial arts should not be lower than that of the princess.

Diligence can make up for clumsiness.

What's more, it was originally jade in the rough, but it just looked like a stubborn stone.

The army set off from Shangjing all the way, entered Guanzhong, stayed in Xijing for a few days, and recruited [-] soldiers to supplement the army lost in the defeat of Shazhou.

"But I don't know how many of these young people will be able to come back."

An old soldier muttered to the juniors gathered at the entrance of the village.

"What are you talking about? Our Guanzhong athletes are brave and good at fighting, so you can't expect the younger generation to come back with a big victory like us back then?"

Another old soldier yelled and cursed, very dissatisfied with the old man's frustrating remarks.

"What's the use of the young men's bravery? Doesn't it depend on the leading general to win the battle? Didn't the defeat a few days ago mean that the general surnamed Guo is useless? By the way, who is leading the army this time?" ?”

"It's the Duke of England."

"It's from the Fu family? But it's the son of the old marshal? That will definitely win the battle. No, I have to find out the military uniform and kowtow to the young marshal."

The old soldier who was still a little bit sad just now suddenly said decisively, as if going back to 20 years ago before speaking, the ambition of three thousand cavalry to destroy Gaochang was fierce.

Although the Marshal Fu who destroyed the country in the First World War has passed away for several years, all military households in Guanzhong know that he went out to fight with the general surnamed Fu.

Most of them can win battles and earn some military rewards.

Even if you are unlucky and fail to win a big battle, you will most likely be able to return home with all your needs.

If unfortunately died in battle, the pension will be richer than going out with other generals.

Fu Zi Daqi has passed through Guanzhong again in 20 years, things are different, but his reputation remains the same.

This is the legacy left by the five generations of the Fu family to their descendants.

The lofty reputation is both a shackle and a spur.
