Yingqing Mansion, Jiang County.
After Wu Nian went to war, Jiang County was very peaceful. This place is located in the lofty mountains, and it is in the rear area, and the people's hearts are stable.
The people inside and outside the city were working and living as usual. There was no confusion even among the merchants, and various caravans entered and exited the city as usual.
No matter how windy or rainy he is, I remain calm and composed.
certainly. As a government official, Liu Zhixing still arranged for soldiers to guard thousands of households, pay attention to people entering and leaving the city, and strengthen vigilance.
Fu Han General's Mansion, front yard.
Inside Liu Zhixing's office. Taking advantage of his free time at work, Liu Zhixing asked someone to make a cup of tea and drank it easily.
Wu Nian is a hands-off shopkeeper, and everything big and small falls on his shoulders. But as time passed, his job became easier.
Don't look at the "salt and iron monopoly", the "shipping department", the increase in the army and the increase in land. The size of Fuhan General's Mansion has also been increasing.
As time passed, the mature and huge bureaucracy got on track and began to operate smoothly. The work of the three officials will naturally become easier.
Liu Zhixing only drank half a cup of tea.
"Da da da!!" Rapid footsteps sounded, and Chen Jiagui barged in from outside with a solemn expression. Liu Zhixing's heart skipped a beat and he quickly put down the tea cup.
There were other officials in the office. In full view of the public, Chen Jiagui quickly came to Liu Zhixing's side without saying anything, bent down and lay beside Liu Zhixing's ear, and said, "Sir, there is an unknown number of troops crossing the border in Goguryeo." Crossing the Yalu River, the general was surrounded.”
Liu Zhixing's expression changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal. He smiled and hummed, put down the tea cup, then stood up and walked to the door, saying to a guard: "Go and invite Li Sima, Wang Gongcao, Zhang Magistrate, iron school captain."
"Yes." The guard responded and walked down quickly.
Liu Zhixing returned to the room first and explained the official work, and then walked out of the office with Chen Jiagui and sat down in the main room.
Everyone entered the main room one after another.
Tieniu entered the main room wearing a battle coat and a sword hanging on his waist. He turned his head and glanced around at everyone in the hall. His heart sank and he asked, "But is there something wrong with the general?"
While he was talking, he came to his seat and sat down. He raised his head and looked at Liu Zhixing with burning eyes.
He has led troops for a long time, and he has both prestige and aura, and his sense of smell is also very sensitive.
The others didn't know yet and looked up at Liu Zhixing.
Liu Zhixing nodded and told everyone what happened. Everyone was shocked, "Goguryeo?"
Not only Wu Nian didn't expect it, but everyone didn't expect it. The Queen Mother actually laid a plan first and then brazenly sent out troops.
Tieniu reacted the fastest, stood up and asked, "Do you want me to rescue the general?"
He stayed in Jiang County to prevent accidents and serve as follow-up support.
"No. Just wait and see what happens. Even if the general is surrounded, he is not that vulnerable. On the contrary. If you lead troops to rescue, you will be in great danger."
In this short period of time, Liu Zhixing had calmed down and considered it all. He raised his head and shook his head gently.
"That's right. The general is not that fragile. An old man like me may die suddenly, but the general will never fall easily. We should not worry about the general, but worry about ourselves. The general is besieged outside, and the Mongolian people must We will write a special letter. We should immediately pass the news to the prefecture and county, inform the captain and Qianhu to know. Let them be mentally prepared. Maintain the stability of the three prefectures." Li Yong raised his head, his back straight, The light in his eyes flashed.
"Li Sima is right. But I am not worried about us. Have you forgotten? We have experienced it. When the general pretended to be dead, our people and army did not waver. What's more, now?"
Liu Zhixing agreed, but showed a confident expression at the same time.
"Master Liu is right." Wang Youxiao had a smile on his face and was in high spirits.
Tieniu looked at them and felt relieved.
Everyone said some more words, and finally, Liu Zhixing told Chen Jiagui to continue to pay attention to the war in Guangyang Mansion, and then dispersed.
Just as Liu Zhixing and Li Yong expected. After the Meng Yuan people surrounded Wu Nian, they quickly dispatched their own spies to spread the news that Wu Nian was surrounded throughout Liaodong, trying to launch a spiritual attack in addition to the physical attack.
But the hearts of the military and civilians in the Three Prefectures are really too stable. The most important thing is that Wu Nian has descendants, and there are more than one.
"Crown Prince" is the divine needle of Dinghai.
In addition, Liu Zhixing took precautions in advance. Although the Meng Yuan people spread the news very diligently and with great momentum.
But it looks like a clown, and it has not shaken the land of Sanfu at all.
Although the storm is raging, I remain firm and motionless.
A few more days. Wu Nian's order was delivered back through a small road by Chen Jiagui's spies.
Liu Zhixing and other senior officials were immediately convinced and spread the news immediately. That's right. Our general was surrounded, but he farmed in the enemy's encirclement and fought against the enemy.
As the news spread, the morale of the military and the people in the Three Prefectures became more stable.
This morning.
Liu Zhixing was tired from work, so he came to the tea room next to him. Rest while drinking tea and eating pastries. An official came in from the outside, bent down and said, "Sir, Miss Kyogoku would like to see you."
Liu Zhixing was a little surprised. Although this lady had a close working relationship with them, she did not often visit the Fuhan General's Mansion.
"Please go to the living room." Liu Zhixing raised his hand and said, then quickly wiped out the tea and cakes and stood up. He took out the handkerchief and wiped his mouth. He left the tea room and walked along the corridor to the living room.
Kyogoku Yuki was wearing a white kimono today, but it was not as white as her skin, and her long black hair fell down, soft and shiny.
A delicate little face, unrivaled in elegance.
Liu Zhixing is not young anymore, and he has seen the world. But every time I see the other person's face, I still feel amazing.
He composed himself and came to sit down at the main seat. He said very politely: "Miss Kyogoku. Is there anything important you came to see me for?"
Kyogoku Yuki bowed, then raised her face and said, "I sent troops specially for Goguryeo."
Having said this, she first observed Liu Zhixing's expression and saw that the other party was not unhappy because of this, and then continued: "Goguryeo sent troops, which was beyond everyone's expectations. With the general's character, I am afraid he will fight Goguryeo sooner or later."
"And fight against Goguryeo. The navy is the top priority. Either cross the Yalu River, or attack Goguryeo's prefectures and counties along the coast."
"I am willing to contribute to the formation of a navy with a size of three thousand households, with Matsudaira Isshin as the commander. I do not need to provide a grain of food or a person from the general office of the Fuhan. I will completely obey the general's orders."
After finishing speaking, Kyogoku Yuki bent down deeply, with an extremely humble posture.
