Anqingfu
Xu Zhaojie looked at the surrounding map in front of him and fell deeply into thought.
After the ordnance case occurred and he was forced to resign as the commander of the Xuanwu Army, he finally relied on the Luo'an Incident to side with Lin Shize and regained control of the military. At first, he thought that facing Shangguan Hongyuan, Lin Shize, who lacks military generals under his command, will definitely choose to rely on him...
But what Xu Zhaojie never expected was that he underestimated the factional fighting within the Southern Patrol Court. After Lin Shize only used him a few times, he put him aside and gave the military power to others. Xu Zhaojie, who had no foundation in Sichuan and Sichuan, could only sit on the bench for nearly half a year.
If Xu Zhaojie could bear to sit on the bench, then the news from the north that Ye Mingsheng defeated Chen Dechang and became the governor of Liaoyang filled Xu Zhaojie's heart with envy, jealousy and hatred. He never thought that the old medal he had Ye Mingsheng, an ant who could be crushed to death with just a move of his fingers, turned out to be the governor of Liaoyang and a prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
However, he, the former commander of the Xuanwu Army, was defeated in Maicheng and sat on the bench in Sichuan and Shu. This strong sense of disparity deeply hurt Xu Zhaojie. If Xu Zhaojie had not had a tenacious temperament, he might have never recovered from the fall. Drunk in wine and sex···············
Just when Xu Zhaojie had nowhere to vent his pain, a piece of news was sent to the Southern Patrol Court. That is, Duan Yuting, the Anqing patrol envoy, resigned from Emperor Hui Jiang Rui, asking Emperor Hui to allow him to retire and return to his hometown, and to send someone to take his place.
This news can be said to have shocked the imperial court of Sichuan and Sichuan. Although Anqing is not a big place, it also has three prefectures and eleven counties under its jurisdiction. It is also a prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River. It can be said to be an absolutely good place!
In addition, Duan Yuting, the Anqing patrol envoy, has more than 20,000 troops. Now that Duan Yuting has resigned, he will undoubtedly give away his territory and troops!
When they first learned of the good news, everyone in the southern imperial court was furious. All the forces were fighting for it without giving in. They all wanted to hold this good job in their own hands. However, after a while, When more detailed news came back from Anqing, everyone was dumbfounded!
It turns out that the reason why Duan Yuting resigned from the Southern Patrol Court and handed over the military territory to the Southern Patrol Court was not because he was so loyal and patriotic and wanted to serve the court, but because of the Qilu Economic Envoy Cao Changping and the Huainan Governor Feng Keqin. They all focused on Anding Mansion.
Whether it is Cao Changping or Feng Keqin, they are both strong soldiers and horses. Neither of them can be offended by Duan Yuting...
Because of this dilemma, Duan Yuting was forced to give up Anqing and leave the decision-making power to the southern patrol court. In this way, no one would be offended. No one could be offended when he returned to the countryside and became a rich man who entertained his grandchildren!
After knowing this situation, the group of people who had been fighting for the most fun were dumbfounded. They all knew that the beauty job was a big fire pit, and whoever jumped and who had a narrow escape would die. They all stopped fighting and not grabbing it!
Only Xu Zhaojie thought about it again and again and felt that although this matter was full of risks, it was also a good opportunity for him to make a comeback!
If he can seize this opportunity, he can get rid of his bench in one fell swoop and become a powerful prince in control of a party!
Although he had a narrow escape from death and could be shattered into pieces if he was not careful, Xu Zhaojie was tired of being sidelined. He was eager to make a career and was willing to do anything for it, even if it cost his life!
With this determination, Xu Zhaojie immediately started to operate. He first found Lin Shize, the head of the southern imperial court. Lin Shize was a little surprised at first. Xu Zhaojie actually wanted to take over Anqing. However, before Xu Zhaojie was still alive, After understanding the movement of the tongue with emotion and understanding it, he thought it would be okay to give it a try...
Even if he failed, he would be without Xu Zhaojie as a dispensable chess piece, so Lin Shize agreed to Xu Zhaojie's request to take over Duan Yuting. However, because the Southern Inspection Court's financial and military resources were very tight under Shangguan Hongyuan's fierce attack, Therefore, Lin Shize did not give Xu Zhaojie any help except for an order. Xu Zhaojie had to prepare everything by himself.
Fortunately, Xu Zhaojie's Zhenyuan Houfu had a rich family. His family fled from Guanzhong to Sichuan, but he also brought a lot of family property with him. Xu Zhaojie knew that this trip was difficult and dangerous, so he decided to succeed if he didn't succeed. Determined, he raised a sum of money by selling off his property, and found some former subordinates, and finally gathered about 3,000 people to go to Sichuan and Shu with him.
Because it was necessary to pass through Huainan from Sichuan and Sichuan to Anqing, when Xu Zhaojie arrived in Huainan, he immediately went to see Feng Keqin, the governor of Huainan...
What I have to say here is that the Xu family of Zhenyuanhou where Xu Zhaojie lives is the founding noble of the Zhou Dynasty. They have been marrying other powerful people for several generations. Although Xu Zhaojie and Feng Keqin had no personal relationship before, they have to make careful calculations. If we do the math, one of Xu Zhaojie's great-uncle married his great-aunt Feng Keqin.
Although the relationship is a little distant, after all, they have not been out of the fifth server, and they are real in-laws!
Feng Keqin also relied on his family to make his fortune, so he also paid special attention to the blood relationship of the family. Although he didn't like Xu Zhaojie suddenly jumping out to pick peaches in Anqing, after all, Xu Zhaojie was his relative, and he came to visit him so respectfully. Own.
Therefore, Feng Keqin also felt that he should meet Xu Zhaojie out of emotion and reason. Even if he had to meet with swordsmen in Anqing later, he should be polite before fighting. He should not lose his etiquette and make other people laugh!
Because of this, Feng Keqin met Xu Zhaojie, but what he didn't expect was that when Xu Zhaojie saw him, he really turned into a licking dog and flattered him, making him feel like a fairy and very comfortable. I even started to feel a little confused.
If it were someone else, Feng Keqin would not be like this, but Xu Zhaojie was a high-ranking official of the Zhou Dynasty who served as the commander of the Xuanwu Army of the third grade in the Zhenyuan Dynasty. Although Xu Zhaojie is now in some trouble, Feng Keqin is still praised for his status. Very useful and enjoyable...
In addition to licking, Xu Zhaojie said frankly that when he came this time, he was not only willing to dedicate Anqing to Feng Keqin, but also willing to be a pioneer to help Feng Keqin deal with Cao Changping!
This was what Feng Keqin wanted. As the governor of Huainan, he had always wanted to unify the Jiangnan region and be pleased to be his king of Jiangnan. However, Cao Changping in the north was restless. This guy felt that he wanted to fight Zhao Fuqu, Gao Zongchang and others in the north. It doesn't move, and that place is not as wealthy as Jiangnan.
So he was thinking about how to go south to Jiangnan and how to capture Anqing and occupy this bridgehead for his southward journey!
This makes Feng Keqin very uncomfortable. If he sends troops to the south of the Yangtze River, there is a high probability that Cao Changping, the envoy of Qilu Economic Strategy, will stab him in the back. Therefore, in order to eliminate this hidden danger, Feng Keqin and Cao Heping have recently joined forces. I fought several times throughout the year, but there was nothing anyone could do!
Feng Keqin was very helpless about this result. You must know that in terms of soldiers, horses, money and food, the two Cao Changpings together were no match for him, but in terms of the bravery of the soldiers and the strategy of the generals, his side was far inferior to Cao Changping's side. , that’s why when the opponent’s money, food, troops and horses were multiple advantages, he fought with Cao Changping, met a good general, and met his opponent...
Although Xu Zhaojie is now in trouble due to the factional fighting within the imperial court, his ability to lead troops to fight is known to everyone in the Zhou Dynasty!
Logically speaking, as the overlord of one party, Feng Keqin's IQ must be online under normal circumstances, but at this time, he was already a little flattered by Xu Zhaojie. When he heard that Xu Zhaojie was going to join him and go to Anqing to be his pawn against Cao Changping, He was naturally very excited. Not only did he not make it difficult for Xu Zhaojie to pass through his Huainan territory, but he also provided Xu Zhaojie with four thousand men and horses, as well as a batch of money, food and weapons.
After comforting Feng Keqin, Xu Zhaojie felt half relieved. He was a man who could bend and stretch. He had to endure humiliation in front of Feng Keqin for the sake of his high spirits in the future!
As early as when he was in Sichuan and Shu, Xu Zhaojie had conducted in-depth research on the situation in Anqing, Qilu, and Huainan. He believed that compared to Cao Changping, who was eager to send troops southward and expand his territory, Feng Keqin, who was bent on conquering Jiangnan, was more important than Cao Changping, who was eager to send troops south to expand his territory. The demand in Anqing is not high················
Therefore, Feng Keqin was more tolerant of his presence in Anqing than Cao Changping. Therefore, when he was still in Sichuan, Xu Zhaojie formulated this plan to use Feng Keqin's strength to deal with Cao Changping. Xu Zhaojie was not afraid of Cao Changping or Feng when he came to Anqing. Keqin, what he is afraid of is that these two people will attack from both sides and carve up Anqing, so now he must choose a side and hold one of them to ensure that he will not be attacked from both sides!
Xu Zhaojie is very confident in his abilities. He believes that as long as he is given a period of time to capture Anqing and integrate it, both Qilu and Huainan will be in his bag!

Dongning, Liaoyang, in the study of the Governor's Mansion.
Looking at the two lime-covered heads of Shen Jianzhong and Wang Kangxin in the box, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but feel a little sad while being happy.
Gu Sansi, who stood respectfully aside, reported to Ye Mingsheng:
"Sir, Deputy Director Wang Xuecheng handled Shen Jianzhong very decently this time!"
"The common people know that you missed the friendship between teachers and students and couldn't bear to kill the teacher and let the rebel Shen Jianzhong go. However, Shen Jianzhong committed his own sin and died in the hands of the thieves..."
Ye Mingsheng smiled and nodded when he heard this:
"Yes! Wang Xuecheng is still very thoughtful and very thorough in his work!"
After hearing what Ye Mingsheng said, Gu Sansi immediately continued:
"Director Wang handles things so well. It's really a blessing for me to serve in the military. I think Director Wang can already take charge of his own duties!"
As soon as these words came out, Ye Mingsheng immediately understood Gu Sansi's hint, shook his head and asked curiously:
"Think twice, don't you have a good relationship with Huo San? Why do you want to take the power away from him so much?"
Some time ago, Gu Sansi gave Ye Mingsheng a confidential memorial. The content of the memorial was not about the outside world, but about the Fengwu Army's intelligence agency coordination office.
Gu Sansi believed in the memorial that the Coordination Office, as the intelligence agency of the Fengwu Army, now has far more power than it is an intelligence agency itself. As an intelligence agency, the Coordination Office's job should be to spy on external intelligence. Carrying out special operations such as assassinations·················
But now the Coordination Office is not only external. Under Ye Mingsheng's instruction, part of his work is already internal, such as supervising officials, monitoring traders and ordinary people, and it also has the power to arrest people, torture and try them. This is already Violated the power of the Inspectorate!
Therefore, Gu Sansi believes that in order to prevent the Coordination Office from losing its tail in the future, the Coordination Office should be split in advance before hidden dangers appear. The Coordination Office will continue to be responsible for external work and assist the Fengwu Army in military operations, but internal The work should be handed over to the Department of Public Security, or to another department. In short, we can no longer let the Coordination Office scratch our beards and eyebrows!
Upon hearing Ye Mingsheng's inquiry, Gu Sansi's expression immediately changed, and he knelt down in front of Ye Mingsheng and said with great sincerity:
"Lord Overseer, I'm afraid of my position! Although I have close contact with Director Huo, this is really because I am responsible for external liaison work, and I often need to overlap with Director Huo in work. The two of us are discussing It's official business, no personal relationship..."
"What I have said today is for the future of my military service. There is no selfish intention at all!"
Hearing what Gu Sansi said, Ye Mingsheng looked at him with a half-smile, then personally lifted Gu Sansi up from the ground and said with sincerity:
"Think twice, I just said it casually, why are you taking it seriously?"
"I have always had absolute trust in you Sansi. You don't need to have any panic. I know everything about the Coordination Office, so you don't have to be like this!"
Hearing what Ye Mingsheng said, Gu Sansi felt relieved, and bowed deeply to Ye Mingsheng and said:
"I started from a humble position and am fortunate to be valued by you. I don't think I'm mean and want to entrust you with a big responsibility. I'm grateful to you and I will do my best for your great cause without any hesitation... ···”
After appeasing Gu Sansi, Ye Mingsheng sent his mastermind away. Looking at Gu Sansi's leaving figure, Ye Mingsheng had some amusement. This Gu Sansi was worthy of being an orthodox Jinshi and abiding by the principles of a minister. He acted very cautiously, and then there was some news, and he quickly tried to clear up the relationship with Huo San!
