Han You, who seemed to have a collecting habit, stayed in the carriage almost all the way. Unless there were special circumstances, he would march during the day and camp at night.
Perhaps God felt that the people of East China Sea were too miserable, so he didn't waste too much time along the way.
Build bridges when encountering water, open paths when encountering obstacles, and overcome obstacles along the way.
There are more than 7,000 people, which is not too much. The road is difficult, so we just need to be careful and dawdle.
The first snow came. It was not heavy, not covered in silver, and melted as soon as it hit the ground.
Han You, who had been sitting in the carriage for twelve whole days, finally took a break and sat on the horse, rubbing his waist.
Of course Han You couldn't act recklessly when the army set off, but his bones felt like they were rusty after staying in the carriage for a long time.
Tang Qingfeng rode alongside Han You: "Set up camp at night and march in two hours at dawn tomorrow to reach Youzhou."
"Yeah, almost."
"Youzhou is the fiefdom of King Zhou Yong of Han, right?"
"Yes."
"King Han." Tang Qingfeng glanced sideways at Han You, but hesitated to speak.
"If you have something to say, just say it."
"Youzhou is almost close to the border of the East China Sea. I heard from Lu Baichuan and others that Zhou Bi, whose fiefdom is in the East China Sea, is not the one who was ordered by His Majesty to make friends with the rebellious officials in the East China Sea as rumored by the outside world, but..."
Tang Qingfeng didn't finish his words, he knew everyone, except Zhou Ben who was like a bear like Infernal Affairs.
What Xiao Tang meant was that he was deeply afraid that King Zhou Yong of Han would be in the same situation, so he had to be on guard against others. Even if he was a nobleman from Tianhuang, it was best not to enter the city and just stay outside the city. Especially Han You, he must not enter the city.
Seeing Han You's nonchalant look, Tang Qingfeng couldn't hold it back in the end: "You are the Superintendent of the Three-level Weapons Supervisor and the Superintendent of the Zhu Ying Supervisor, and you are even more famous. And the King of Han, Zhou Yong, is the nobleman of Tianhuang. If you come to Youzhou, as a courtesy, you must enter the city to pay homage to the King of Han. I think it is inappropriate, so why not treat you as you enter the city? I say that you are caught in the cold by chance. Although I am the last naval commander, I am also the deputy commander of Nanguan, so I As the commander-in-chief, I went to the city to pay homage to His Highness the King of Han. It is not a mistake, and I cannot be found guilty."
Jiang Zhuile was so upset: "As my young master, what can I do if I don't enter the city? Not to mention the eighth prince, the eldest prince, the second prince, and the third prince must all treat my young master with respect."
Zhou Xiao and Zhou Tong nodded in agreement, and Lao Zhouben also wanted to nod. He was afraid of being scolded. He was not even qualified to agree now, let alone opening his mouth. Even nodding would easily lead to criticism.
"Wrong, very wrong."
Tang Qingfeng said angrily and funny: "I know a little bit about the majesty of your young master, but this is not the middle of the capital. We are leaving the capital and are approaching the East China Sea. If Han You loses his etiquette, he will definitely... The rebellious officials and traitors over the East China Sea made a big fuss out of it."
Either that or Tang Qingfeng is not a vegetarian. If he really has no brains and no sense of the overall situation, he cannot be the deputy commander of Nanguan.
Tang Qingfeng didn't know Han You's specific plan. He only knew that no matter how careful you were, you could never be too cautious. If Han You wanted to rectify the officialdom of the East China Sea and rectify the navy, he had to gain fame and justice, but this kind of thing would only This is what the aristocratic family is best at. Once Han You loses the hearts of the people as soon as he arrives, who knows what the aristocratic family will shape Han You into in the hearts of the people.
Han You scratched his forehead: "Your Majesty told me the other day about the situation near Youzhou. It seemed..."
Han You did drink too much the night before leaving, and he lost his voice. Lao Ba had talked about the situation in Youzhou, but he couldn't remember it.
"Dachuan'er." Han You turned around and asked, "Have you ever been in the East China Sea back then?"
"No, I was in Beiguan when I followed His Majesty."
"The boss, the second and the third are here."
Zhou Xiao, Zhou Tong, and Zhou Ben all shook their heads. They didn't know much about the East China Sea. Lao Ba's stay in the East China Sea was very short, less than two years. During this period, only the eldest brother stayed for a while, and then returned to the Southland.
Zhou Ben said weakly: "General Tie served as Sicheng of the Military Selection Department in Donghai, and his yamen was located in Youzhou."
"Where are the others? Does anyone know about the situation in Youzhou?"
"There seems to be no more."
Han You cursed his mother, turned around reluctantly and shouted: "Shu Hua, bring Mr. Chen."
Shu Hua rode a horse and brought Tie Chen over, who was blind-eyed.
Han You squinted his eyes and asked, "Have you ever stayed in Youzhou?"
"What?"
Tie Chen looked like he couldn't afford to live, and his eyes looked forward blankly.
"Tell me about the situation in Youzhou."
"Nothing to say."
"I specifically told you to say whatever comes to mind, whatever comes to mind."
Tie Chen chuckled: "Youzhou girls have big butts."
A trace of anger flashed across Han You's face: "What else?"
"The breasts are also big."
The friends all looked at Han You with inquiring expressions, asking if they would like to delay for a while, dismount their horses and kick Tie Chen in a circle together. After all, this guy has not yet experienced the unique characteristics of Han's gang, so even Lao Zhouzhou Ben also looked at Han You.
Han You almost nodded when Sikong Zhao suddenly stuck his head out and said with a smile: "Has General Tie ever visited the family members of the late General Wen in Beijing?"
Tie Chen was stunned for a moment, turned around and asked, "How are you doing, Mrs. Sister-in-law?"
"Didn't General Iron pay a visit?"
Tie Chen's old face turned red: "The army...the military affairs are complicated, and I have no skills to deal with them, so I have neglected them."
Han You was so angry: "Then you must have at least eight jars a day for military work."
Sikong Zhao smiled and said: "General Tie will tell General Han about Youzhou. When you return to the capital, General Han will take you back to the capital to visit General Wen's family. How about it?"
"All right."
Tie Chen lowered his head: "How can I not know now? I only know that when I was in Youzhou, it was the Pang family who had the final say. The Pang family could be said to be the number one scholar in the world. Even in the East China Sea, they were well-known Confucian scholars and descendants of the Pang family. They are spread throughout the official circles and the army of Youzhou. They can be said to be the first-class famous families with countless fertile fields. I don’t know how many people rely on the Pang family for their livelihood. In the previous dynasty, they served as prefects and captains. When they took office, they had to visit the Pang family first. Only the Pang family nodded. , this official robe and hat is considered to be tight and practical."
"Is it such a powerful force?"
"It's not power, but influence. If the Pang family says that the sun in the sky will be white tomorrow, then the local people will think that the sun will be white the next day."
Han You was extremely suspicious: "Are people so ignorant?"
"It's not because of the ignorance of the people, but because of the Pang family."
"If I go to the East China Sea to hang out, how will the Pang family react?"
"Exclusion." Tie Chen said with a half-smile but not a smile, "Will you pay a visit to the Pang family as a junior?"
"Won't."
"That is rejection, rejection is disgust, disgust is disgust, disgust is a stumbling block."
Han You shrugged: "Then I'll fuck him."
"The Pang family is not afraid of death."
"Then threaten him."
"What did you threaten him with?"
"Seven thousand troops surrounded the Pang family's residence." Han You said murderously: "I don't care what the people think, I only care about solving the local aristocratic family as quickly as possible. According to what you said, the Pang family is also one of the aristocratic families who are not convinced by the imperial court. I am one of the noble families who disobeys the imperial court and does not know how to behave. Do you think I am like a parent who spoils my children?"
"Hahahahahaha." Tie Chen said with a joking look on his face: "I have said that the Pang family is not afraid of death, and the Pang family is not afraid of threats. What's more, the Pang family is a family that accumulates good deeds, even if it always looks like They look superior to others, even though they are all rotten scholars, but the Pang family is not afraid of death. Not only is it not afraid, but it is what you want. If you kill a Pang family member, the Pang family's prestige and reputation will increase by one point. What can you do to him?"
"Ji Shan's House?"
"Yes, although the Pang family is extremely despised by civil servants and military generals, they are very good to the people. Countless refugees from the East China Sea have poured into Youzhou. Every time the Pang family has given porridge and performed charity, providing them with a shelter from the wind and rain."
Upon hearing this, Han You was confused: "Since it is a house of good deeds, why don't you obey the court?"
"Why should a family with accumulated good deeds submit to the imperial court? There are many aristocratic families serving the imperial court, and how many of them are willing to donate generously to the people?"
Han You was speechless. This was really the case. At the beginning, he was not convinced by the imperial court. Seven of them were dissatisfied and eight were dissatisfied.
Being dissatisfied with the court and being good to the people are completely different concepts, because the court itself is not good to the people.
So this is the contradiction. Han You wants to kill people who are not good to the people, but he is from the imperial court. The Pang family is extremely unfriendly to the people of the imperial court, but is good to the people.
This is the biggest problem and contradiction. The Pang family is not the one Han You wants to fuck, but Han You is the one the Pang family hates. After all, Han You can't fuck the Pang family, but the Pang family can hate him.
"I only see His Highness King Zhou Yong of Han." Han You rolled his eyes: "Just ignore the Pang family."
"Wrong, wrong again, still very wrong. If you can be supported by the Pang family, let alone the boat master, at least no one in Shilin will dare to throw dirty water on you. But if the Pang family delays you, don't If you talk about Shilin, even the people will spit on your face. If the Pang family says you are a good person, you will be a great good person. If the Pang family says you are a wicked person, you will be a wicked person who will be stabbed a thousand times."
Han You was so angry that his nose was twisted. As expected, many things cannot be solved with violence. Although violence can solve any problem, at this stage, he really has no way to use violence to deal with the Pang family.
At this moment, Sikong Zhao suddenly said: "Please help General Tie find a way to make friends with the Pang family."
Tie Chen snorted: "Why should I help you, and how can you be sure that I will have a solution?"
"General Tie is familiar with the art of war, became famous at a young age, and knows the Pang family so well. How could he not have secretly thought about how to deal with the Pang family when he was serving in the East China Sea? When he was in the East China Sea, His Majesty was sincere about seizing the great treasure. After seizing the great treasure, the East China Sea is the country's How could His Majesty ignore the serious troubles facing the imperial court? Since General Tie was His Majesty’s favorite general, don’t say that you have never thought about it.”
A group of people looked at each other, which seemed to make sense.
Sure enough, Tie Chen took a deep look at Sikong Zhao: "Who is your last name, and whose family is your descendant?"
"They're just barbarians outside the Pass."
"Barbarians?" Tie Chen was a little confused, but he was too lazy to think deeply: "I haven't thought about it, and I won't help you even if I think about it. I am happy to see you embarrassed."
Sikong Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a very cold tone: "Tie, if you can't think of a way, don't blame me for returning to the capital and asking Wen Yong's family members to live a life worse than death."
Tie Chen was immediately furious: "How dare you?"
"You said it yourself, Your Majesty is a hypocrite, and I wish I could see you sad."
Sikong Zhao suddenly stretched out his fingers and held up three fingers.
Tie Chen was furious: "What do you mean?"
Sikong Zhao: "Three."
"What three."
Sikong Zhao put away one finger: "Two."
"you…"
Sikong Zhao: "One..."
"You vicious woman!" Tie Chen gritted his teeth and yelled, "Give me fifty fine horses when you get outside Youzhou City. In half a day, I will make the Pang family docile."
Han You was dumbfounded: "Really or not, what are fifty people enough for?"
"It hurts the harmony of heaven and humanity."
Tie Chen cursed his mother and said in a low voice: "The Pang family attaches great importance to ancestral filial piety. They dug up their ancestral graves, wrapped hundreds of bones of the Pang family's ancestors and put them in the carriage. If the Pang family used a stumbling block, they would crush the bones." Raising ashes, using this as a threat, the Pang family will definitely obey."
Han You grinned widely, and his friends were also dumbfounded.
After a long time, Han You swallowed: "Are you a serious general?"
Tie Chen snorted: "A soldier never tires of deceit."
Han You was convinced. Does this have anything to do with the fact that soldiers never tire of deceit? This is a dirty trick.
Tie Chen asked: "Do you agree or not?"
"Yun...let's do it."
Tie Chen glanced at Han You with disdain on his face: "You are indeed a bad and pus-prone master, that's all allowed."
After finishing speaking, Tie Chen glanced sideways at Sikong Zhao. Sure enough, they were a couple, and they were all the same.
