I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 45

The urgent play form from Hexi Jiedu Mansion was sent to Shangjing City.

Fu Maoxiu analyzed the current situation in Hexi in detail in the memorial table, and asked for the right to conquer.

Several prime ministers didn't have any say in this kind of matter, so the memorial table was sent directly to the East Palace.

When Zhao Yuantan heard that it was the memorabilia of the Hexi Jiedu Envoy British Duke, he did not have any comments after reading it and forwarded it to the Taoist Emperor's Abode.

In the end, Tian Fuguo, the eunuch in the palace who was in charge of delivering the letter, took the Emperor Daojun and gave the prime ministers a reply with only one word, "yes".

The word "ke" means that the subordinates will invent the purpose and grant the Hexi Jiedu envoy the right to conquer foreign enemies.

Although Xie Qian, the chief of Menxia Province, was reluctant, the emperor's will was not something he could resist, and he had to obey.

The decree was sent to Hexi in an expedited manner.

The Jiedu Mansion in Hexi also responded accordingly. Xue Cong was the main general, leading an army of [-] troops, and stationed in the city of Kucha under the Kelei Department, acting on camera.

That is to say, Xue Cong can take the initiative to attack Yuezhen Nation depending on the situation, or he can passively defend, waiting for Yuezhen Nation to attack before taking action, which is equivalent to the power of discretion.

Fu Jinchuan was the deputy general. He led an army of [-] troops to Shule City in the Tie Le tribe. He not only supported the main force at any time, but also guarded against the enemies of Qingtang.

With the military order, the entire Liangzhou City moved.Seven thousand soldiers and horses are dispatched, and almost the same number of auxiliary soldiers and civilian husbands are needed.

Shi Wannian and Jia Shixun served as Fu Jinchuan's deputy generals at the same time, assisting him in military affairs. Guo Daifeng led [-] crossbowmen at his disposal. They also went to the battlefield together, and they were familiar with each other.

"Hahahaha, Fu Langjun, it's a pleasure to be able to fight side by side with you again." Shi Wannian smiled very excitedly to Fu Jinchuan after he entered Huben Jiezong's camp.

"That's right, Fu Langjun was both wise and courageous in the last victory at Baiting, but this time it's only the Yuezhen Kingdom, and he will definitely make great achievements in one fell swoop."

Originally, according to Jia Shixun's qualifications, he could be the chief general, but with Fu Jinchuan around, it would be nice to be able to get a deputy general. After all, this is very likely to be the first war of annihilation launched by the Jin Dynasty in 20 years.

The last one was the battle of the old British Duke Fu Xun's three thousand cavalry to destroy Gaochang.

To be able to participate in this kind of battle, even though he is only a partial teacher, is enough honor, and Fu Jinchuan's identity here, it is impossible to be his deputy.

Needless to say, Guo Daifeng clasped his fists together, and Fu Jinchuan nodded as well.

"I won't talk about the polite words. We are also a life-and-death friendship in the battle together. Although the 3000 of us are partial teachers this time, the situation we have to face may be more difficult than that of the main force. You all arrange your own headquarters. Regarding matters, we will set off from Liangzhou in three days and strive to reach Shule City within 20 days."

"promise."

Several people responded in unison.

Afterwards, several people discussed various matters together, until it was getting late, and the dental soldiers from Jiedu Mansion came to ask Fu Jinchuan to go back for dinner, and then they dispersed.

After Fu Jinchuan left, the three of them also found a good restaurant in the city and had a drink, ready to connect with each other.

"Why can't we earn a fifth-rank general this time?" Shi Wannian said proudly while gnawing on the mutton.

Master Jia laughed and said, "Why don't you talk about the fourth grade? Why don't you just give it to a general."

Shi Wannian laughed loudly and said, "How do you know that I won't be able to be a general in the future?"

He is only in his 30s today, and although his background is not good enough, General Gui Delang, who has already fallen from the fifth rank, may not be able to jump two poles and become the fifth rank General Dingyuan if he makes meritorious deeds this time.

That is the official rank of Jia Shixun today.

Guo Daifeng said: "A man should have ambitions, come to Shi Dalang, let's have a drink."

Shi Wannian replied: "Okay, let's do it."

Jia Shixun shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm pouring cold water on you. You, Shi Dalang, have been in the army for 16 years. You have been promoted from a humble soldier to a guard envoy. Now you are the deputy envoy of the Wuwei Army. Your military achievements have surpassed [-] ranks. You are a famous fierce general in the Hexi Army." Will, but you said yourself, is it only because of your ability that you can rise to the present?"

When Shi Wannian heard this, he was about to refute something, then nodded and said: "Brother Jia is right, if I hadn't been valued by General Xue Cong, I would be a captain of the fort at most now."

Then Jia Shixun looked at Guo Daifeng again, and asked, "Guo Liulang, you are both wise and brave, and your Guo family can be regarded as a general, but in all fairness, even if Guo Jiedu is still here now, he treats you like a parent. current location?"

Guo Daifeng shook his head directly, "Impossible, let alone me, my two cousins ​​would not have the chance to be promoted to the position of Wupinlang. If Fu Langjun hadn't come to Xiaoye City in person, it would be a night I definitely have no chance to make any contribution to breaking into Miyagi. I don’t even have a chance to avenge my uncle.”

Jia Shixun drank a glass of wine, and then continued: "Take us military generals who lick blood at the edge of their swords as an example. Of course, this ability is the foundation of our lives, but if we want to be in a high position, like a general, we need more than just ability. Even sometimes ability is the least important thing. Guo Liulang, if Guo Jiedu hadn't fought the battle of Gaochang with the old Duke, would he have a chance to be Hexi Jiedu envoy?"

Guo Daifeng said: "It's true, time is fate. If you want to be a high-ranking official, there are still people in the court, otherwise, no matter how powerful you are, a military envoy will be over."

Shi Wannian said: "This is true, but why is Brother Jia so discouraged? We can participate in the battle as Fu Langjun's lieutenant general, and we should form a good relationship after that. He has always been thoughtful, and when he returns to Beijing, if he has a chance, he will take care of me."

Master Jia shook his head, "Shi Dalang, what you said is correct. But you overlooked one problem."

"Ok?"

Guo Daifeng also expressed his puzzlement and looked at Master Jia.

"Mr. Fu Lang is righteous, and the style of the Fu family is also kind, but have you considered, how old is Mr. Fu?"

Shi Wannian and Guo Daifeng were confused by this question, and then heard Jia Shixun continue.

"Fu Langjun is not yet 20 years old. If he is the age of the Duke at this time, then we may be on the verge of prosperity."

Shi Wannian was still confused, but Guo Daifeng understood a little bit.

"You mean, Mr. Lang is too young, the court will definitely idle him for a period of time, and we can't wait for him to go to the court?"

Master Jia nodded his head this time, "That's exactly what he meant."

Shi Wannian was stunned for a moment, then drank a bowl of sanle pulp and laughed loudly: "Whatever he is, those of us who joined the army will die at some point or place. Think about it."

Seeing that Shi Wannian was so open-minded, the other two were also infected by him, and they all laughed and drank wine together, full of pride.

Fu Jinchuan returned to the commander-in-chief's mansion, Fu Maoxiu had already put on his beard and started to eat. He ate very slowly. When he was in Beijing, many people said that he had the bearing of a prime minister.

However, the "prime minister's demeanor" at that time was naturally ironic.

After all, although a military general is honorable, although his appearance is good, if he praises you for being a prime minister, doesn't that mean that this person has his appearance?

But now that Fu Maoxiu has returned to the capital, it must be a compliment to say "Prime Minister's bearing". After all, he is now a minister. Although he does not have the real power to make peace with Zhongshu, he can be regarded as a prime minister in name.

In the court ranking, it must be in front of the four prime ministers.

"Aye."

"Well, sit down and eat."

"promise."

As soon as Fu Jinchuan was on the table, he picked up a roast leg of lamb and ate it. Seeing how he ate, Fu Maoxiu always felt very satisfied.

"Speaking of forming an army, marching forward, and deciding between two battles, you were taught by your grandfather when you were young, and you have experienced in the battlefield, and you have won such a fairy battle as the Baiting Great Victory, which is better than you, Aye. I insist, I won't tell you these things, and I have nothing to teach you. But I still have something to tell you. "

Fu Jinchuan said while eating: "Aye, tell me, I'm listening."

"Well, you eat yours. I'll just say a few words here. The first thing is that the two armies are fighting against the enemy. Don't always go to the battle and fight in person. You are also the leader of the first army now. If you want to save yourself, you are not yet second. Ten, you are not married yet, the days are still long, don't keep thinking about working hard, when the crisis comes, even if you lose the army, you have to make sure you can come back alive, and you have to be fully bearded."

"Secondly, it's too late. Don't try to compete with Xue Cong for merit in this battle. As long as you make meritorious service in this battle, even if you are a military counselor, a marquis can get it. In the future, it will be enough to establish a family in Shangjing. It is also the reason why I let Xue Cong be the main general. If this battle is lost, it will naturally be Xue Cong's fault. Since I gave him this opportunity, of course he is at his own risk."

Fu Jinchuan nodded, and then asked, "Aye, does Xue Cong take refuge in you?"

Fu Maoxiu smiled, "That's not the case. If he has the ability to control the court, then naturally he doesn't need to act according to the face of my Fu family. If he is not fair, no matter what credits he makes in the future, he will have to rely on me." The Fu family is looking ahead. And don’t look at him as the main attacker, it’s not bad to get an earl, it’s up to me to praise him.”

When Fu Jinchuan heard Aye's words, he also had some understanding. Although the battle of destroying the country sounded encouraging, and the achievement of destroying the country was also the top military achievement, the risk was not small.

So Aye directly let Xue Cong be the coach, and he led the way alone. If Xue Cong can really win, his support will definitely be "very important".

But if Xue Cong fails or loses, Fu Jinchuan will only be a partial teacher along the way, and the marching pot used for cooking will not be able to shake it.

As for Xue Cong, obviously, he must be aware of all this.

Everyone is happy with the success, Fu Maoxiu is in the middle to dispatch, Fu Jinchuan has a partial teacher to support him, Xue Cong is even more able to win the first victory in destroying the country, and it is no problem to be named a knight or a general.

If not, Xue Cong will be responsible for the defeat, because he is the main general.But Fu's father and son are invincible.

Even so, he still has to be grateful to Fu Maoxiu, because Fu Maoxiu gave him this opportunity.

Otherwise, based on his connections in the court, how could it fall on him?
Is it Chen Shougui, the governor of Shazhou, who can't fight, or Han Kuangsi, the governor of Liangzhou, who knows how to use troops?Don't forget that there is also Zhang Renyuan, the deputy envoy of Jiedu, a famous general in the dynasty.

It's just because they each have their own masters in the court, and except for his father who was the deputy general of the old Duke Fu Xun, Xue Cong didn't have any reliable backers in the court.

The position of Wuwei Army envoy is already the limit that Xue Cong can reach by relying on his father's shade.Upwards are not determined solely by military functions.

That being the case, why not rely on the ready-made tree of the Fu family?
