The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 1507 The veteran protects the calf

The atmosphere at the scene was very depressing, as if there was a huge vortex of vitality slowly pressing down in the sky.

Fang Yun jumped out of the carriage, put his hands behind his back, and looked at the people in front of him.

Fang Yun scanned everyone carefully, verified each person's appearance and portrait in the intelligence, and quickly grasped the detailed information of these people.

Fang Yun had already made preparations before coming here, but when he arrived, he discovered that the situation was more complicated than he imagined!

The Pearl River Army has a total of 200,000 soldiers, divided into five armies: the central army, the front army, the rear army, the left army and the right army. Each army is commanded by a Hanlin general.

Today, the five Hanlin generals arrived and stood at the front of the welcoming team. However, in the end, only the former general and the Chinese general saluted him!

This is not the most serious.

Each of the five armies has 40,000 men. Under the generals of the five armies, every 10,000 men will be led by a fourth-rank Jinshi general with a title, a total of twenty.

However, among the twenty Jinshi generals, only six saluted!

The three Hanlin generals, General Zuojun, General Youjun and General Houjun, did not salute Fang Yun at first, so it was normal for their Jinshi generals not to salute Fang Yun.

However, the two Hanlin generals, the former army general and the central army general, clearly saluted, but among the Jinshi generals under their jurisdiction, one of them did not salute!

This is a very bad sign. Even if the former general and the Chinese army general support him, the two people cannot fully control the 80,000 people.

Of the 200,000 Zhujiang troops, only 60,000 can truly be called supporting the Marquis of Zhujiang!

Fang Yun took a deep breath to ease his emotions. This fact was a bit shocking. Ten years ago, the Pearl River Army was unable to advance, but in these ten years, all the generals who were related to the Zhujiang Marquis Mansion and were in the Nine Clans and Five Servers were transferred away. There were still some people who left voluntarily to protect their lives, and there were also a few generals. He remains in the army, but has joined other big families.

More than half of the current Pearl River Army are generals who were newly transferred within the past ten years.

Fang Yun finally realized that the power of Marquis Zhujiang was in name only. Even if he became a bachelor, only 60,000 people would be truly obedient, and the rest would only obey orders from Marquis Lumen.

"The test of the Ninth Mountain is indeed even more difficult!" Fang Yunzhi frowned.

Many thoughts flashed through Fang Yun's mind. Finally, he sighed deliberately, looked at the generals in front of him with melancholy, and said, "Everyone, long time no see."

Some generals looked excited, some looked expressionless, and a few generals looked complicated, as if they were nostalgic or ashamed.

"Uncle Qingfeng, Uncle Li, my nephew...are back again!" After Fang Yun finished speaking, he straightened his chest and his eyes burst out with brilliant light.

Zhang Qingfeng, the general of the Chinese army, had a fatal friendship with Zhang Wankong and once taught Zhang Longxiang calligraphy.

Former army general Wang Li, whose life was saved by Zhang Wankong, is a typical fierce general. He never plays any tricks. A few years ago, the King of Chu wanted to transfer him away, but Wang Li said in front of all the civil and military officials that if anyone dared to transfer him from the Pearl River Army, he would leave Chu directly and go to Zhou as an official.

The literary world of Confucius and Saints was still the Zhou Dynasty, and the Emperor Zhou was still the nominal co-owner of the literary world. The kings of the seven kingdoms were still nominally canonized ministers of the Emperor Zhou. Every king who succeeded to the throne must be canonized by the Emperor Zhou.

If Wang Li went to Zhou, it was not considered treason, but it was essentially the same as treason. It had a great impact on Chu. However, the king of Chu couldn't do anything about him, so he could only keep Wang Li in the Zhujiang Army.

The two old generals were already gray-haired. Zhang Qingfeng was extremely calm and just nodded lightly.

Wang Li's eyes were moist and red, and he said, "Okay, just come back!"

Fang Yun secretly sighed in his heart. These two generals and Zhang Wankong were close friends in life and death, but they did not dare to be too enthusiastic when they saw him now. This shows the depth of their influence back then and the great hostility of the Zhujiang Marquis Mansion.

Lumenhou said coldly: "The war is urgent, and the red tape is waived. Come with me to the Zhujiang Army Camp, and all the generals will work together to formulate a plan to recapture Lianshan Pass!"

However, Zhang Qingfeng cupped his hand and said, "Please give me some advice from Mr. Lumenhou. We, the Zhujiang Army, respect the Marquis of Zhujiang, or should we obey your orders?"

"See for yourself!" Marquis Lumen took out a roll of King's Fate from the Hanhu shell and handed it to Wei Changxian beside him.

Wei Changxian held the King of Chu's life in both hands and sent it to Zhang Qingfeng.

Kong Shengwen rarely knelt down, and there was no imperial edict. Zhang Qingfeng just took the king's order with both hands, looked at it carefully, nodded and said: "Since the King of Chu ordered you to command the Zhujiang, Qishan and Lumen armies, you should be the next official." Obey. However, if the King of Chu does not depose the Marquis of Zhujiang, Zhang Longxiang can lead an army of ten thousand people in the Zhujiang Army and have various powers such as deliberation."

Fang Yun felt warm in his heart. This Zhang Qingfeng was indeed one of his own. As soon as they met, he would implement his power to prevent Marquis Lumen from letting him become a bare general like he did on the way. Doing so would definitely anger Marquis Lumen, but Zhang Qingfeng showed no fear at all. , and fighting hard based on reason is indeed a model for scholars.

Marquis Lumen snorted coldly: "I am also in charge of the three armies. You just obey orders and have no right to comment!"

"The state has national laws, and the army has military regulations. Even if the King of Chu comes in person, we must abide by the laws!" Wang Li took half a step forward and looked directly at Marquis Lumen.

The rest of the Pearl River Army remained silent.

"Wantless, do you want to rebel?" Wei Changxian was furious.

Fang Yun glanced at Wei Changxian. He thought this person was shallow and cunning before, but now he thought about it, all his bad deeds were actually to cater to Marquis Lumen. For example, he yelled now. On the surface, he was an angry and ignorant person, but in fact, he was Testing the opponent's bottom line for Lu Menhou also shows Lu Menhou's attitude, and there is no need for Lu Menhou to speak. No matter what the outcome, Lu Menhou can move forward and retreat freely, retaining authority and face.

Fang Yun secretly sighed in his heart. After all, his experience was worse than these people. Only then did he realize the role of people like Wei Changxian. He had encountered many people before, but at that time they were all so shallow and despicable. Now it seems , this is a way of survival, not too noble, but not too despicable, everyone is their own master.

Zhang Qingfeng cupped his hands and said, "Lord Lumenhou, please think again!"

Wei Changxian said angrily: "Mr. Zhang, aren't you afraid that the marshal will replace you?"

"If there is an order from the King of Chu, I should obey it." Zhang Qingfeng said calmly.

Wei Changxian secretly glanced at Lumen Hou.

Marquis Lumen nodded and said: "Before I did not allow Long Xiang's nephew to participate in the war, in addition to concerns about his identity, I was mainly worried about his safety. After all, after ten years in prison, it is still unknown how much strength he still has, so we rashly let him Participating in the war will harm him. Since he has arrived in Zhucheng, he is the current Lumen Marquis, so he can naturally lead an army. These days, let him not go to war. He is so good at literature, so he can be responsible for handling official documents. "

Zhang Qingfeng and Wang Li's expressions froze, and then they showed helpless and bitter expressions.

Fang Yun smiled and said: "Thank you Lord Lumenhou."

Fang Yun secretly sighed in his heart, as expected of the old fox, he was the Marquis of Zhujiang, and this was Zhucheng. If the Marquis of Lumen did not arrange affairs for him, a large number of soldiers and civilians would be dissatisfied. Now arranging to handle official documents by yourself is simply killing three birds with one stone.
