Chapter 525 The three sides confront each other, intrigue
I was on a business trip in the whole field, and the business of grabbing buildings finally went from being the only one to the current galloping horses.
...
In Jianping Prefecture, Xia Changan, the prefect of Jianping, has been waiting at the city gate, with only two or three kittens behind him.
The area and population of Jiaozhi's prefecture can only be considered as a county at most in the Ming Dynasty. Most of the people who can be prefected here were criminal officials who were demoted, or local officials in Yunnan and Guangxi.
As soon as these officials arrived in Jiaozhi, they would "successfully rise to the top", the prefect of the prefect, and the prefect of the prefect.
But these officials would rather return to the Ming Dynasty to be a civilian than come here to be an official.
Not long after, an official behind Xia Changan suddenly listened with a look on his face, and then said, "Sir, it seems that a large group of people are coming."
Xia Changan quickly sorted out his clothes and murmured to himself: "I hope I can get rid of that Ruan Shuai this time, otherwise I will leave if I want to hang the seal..."
Soon, a dense sound of horse hooves came, and then a large group of cavalry appeared in the distance.
More than ten cavalry scouts rushed over, stopped the horse in front of Xia Changan and asked, "But the Prime Minister Xia?"
Xia Changan looked at the cavalry dispersed from both wings, felt very happy and said hurriedly: "I am the one. Can you ask which adult is leading the army?"
The scout controlled the restless horse and raised his eyebrows and said, "This time Xinghe Bo is leading the army, and then we will arrive."
Xing and Bo?
Xia Changan knew that Fang Xing and the King of Han came to Jiaozhi. He secretly thanked that Zhu Gaoxu was not intimidated, so he turned around and greeted him. Everyone quickly drove forward a few steps.
When the dust stirred by the cavalry began to dissipate, a vibration came from the ground.
"This is……"
The closer the sound was, the more neat the rhythm became. When Xia Changan saw the rows of arrays, he woke up from the sluggishness and bowed quickly.
Fang Xing rushed forward, looked at the dilapidated city wall, and said after dismounting, "It's not easy for the prefect Xia, thank you for your hard work."
Xia Changan looked up at Fang Xing, surprised by his youth and gentleness, and quickly bowed: "The officials dare not speak of their hardships. Xing and Bo came from afar. Please go to the city to rest."
The best building in the so-called mansion is Xia Chang'an's prefecture, but it looks similar to the courtyard of a small landlord in the countryside.
Fang Xing didn't care about rest and immediately called Zhang Chong.
"You go find Ruan Shuai and say I'm here and let him come!"
Zhang Chong hesitated for a moment: "Second uncle, according to Ruan Shuai's suspicious nature, he is afraid he won't dare to come!"
"I just want him not to come!"
Fang Xing sat upright on the chair and said lightly: "The distance is not very far, you go first."
After Zhang Chong left, Fang Xing stretched out his body, which made Xia Changan, who was accompanying him, smacked his tongue.
Xing and Bo heard that they were both civil and military, and they were also the Grandson's army, but they were stretching in front of outsiders.
Is this still a vivid image?
What the scholars and officials pay attention to is an image outside. Some people also have to hold their own airs at home. If this continues throughout the year, they will eventually become like a puppet.
Fang Xing sat back comfortably and asked, "Master Xia, have Ruan Shuai been harassing me?"
“Come.”
Xia Changan said with a bitter face: "Brother Xinghe, Ruan Shuai asked me to come to borrow food a few days ago."
"Borrow grain?" Fang Xing said disdainfully: "He killed many wealthy families in the south, and he is still short of food? My uncle also wants to ask him to borrow some food to pay his wages!"
Xia Changan smiled bitterly and said, "Boy Xinghe, but Ruan Shuai is unstable. Fortunately, he has only been struggling in the south in the past few years, otherwise Xiaguan's place would have been broken long ago."
"Will he dare to refuse to borrow food from him?"
Fang Xing's tone was faint, but a murderous aura made Xia Changan shudder.
At this time, the logistics supplies also entered the city, and Xin Laoqi came to report.
"Master, will the trencher be started?"
Although the catapult can be used, Fang Xing thought it would slow down the marching speed, so he was ready to build it locally.
"Build it now, I want to see how big ambitions Ruan Shuai has!"
...
When Zhang Chong saw Ruan Shuai, he unexpectedly discovered that his attitude turned tough.
"Xing and Bo? I remember the man who was with the Duke of England a few years ago, right?"
Ruan Shuai called himself me, which made several confidants at the side secretly dissatisfied.
"Yes, Xing and Bo are young and promising, both civil and military, and are the grandsons of my Ming Dynasty!"
Zhang Chong all introduced proudly.
"The Grandson's Master?"
That must be a literati.
Ruan Shuai once studied with a Jiaozhi Confucian scholar for several years. He heard that the Confucian scholar enviously said that there were so many great scholars in the Ming Dynasty. Not only was there a large group of princes, but there were also many grandsons around him.
Leading the literati?
As for what both civil and military affairs are, Ruan Shuaiquan thought it was Zhang Chong's boast.
How can you be both civil and military in this day and age?
More importantly, it is not enough to achieve martial arts!
Zhang Chong said: "Xing and Bo said that, please ask Lord Ruan to visit Jianping Prefecture."
Didn’t you say you wanted to meet?
Then go!
Ruan Shuai pondered for a moment, and suddenly said with a smile: "I dare not go to the Grand Master of the Ming Dynasty, for fear of making a fool of myself on the spot, so I would like to ask you to go back and tell me, otherwise... let's choose a place with fewer people!"
Zhang Chong's expression changed immediately, and he said angrily: "Mr. Ruan is despising my Ming Xinghe Bo?"
"Don't dare."
Ruan Shuai narrowed his eyes and yawned, and then said, "Please tell Xing and Bo that Ruan is timid and has killed many wealthy families this year. He is worried that he will be assassinated by the remaining wealthy families in Jianping Mansion. Please forgive Xing and Bo, and Ruan is very grateful."
...
As soon as Zhang Chong left, Ruan Shuai immediately drove everyone away and then closed the door.
"Go to Xinghe Bo of Nima! Go to the Ming Dynasty of Nima!"
"Bang!"
Everything inside was affected. After Ruan Shuai stopped panting, he could hardly find a place to stay underground.
"Come!"
The two of them came in from outside, and were not surprised to see the fragments all over the floor, so they quickly cleaned them up.
After cleaning it up, Ruan Shuai attracted his confidants and discussed it for a long time before he went to the inner room with satisfaction.
Soon, a strange smell came from the inside...
Fang Xing was also meeting people at this moment, and he was meeting Ruan Shuai's opponent.
Chen Jianan looked at Fang Xing nervously, then knelt down and said, "Chan Jianan, a righteous man from Jiaozhi, has seen Master Bo."
A righteous man?
Fang Xing almost couldn't help laughing. He suppressed his smile and nodded: "Please get up."
After Chen Jianan got up, he immediately smiled and said, "Brother, I am here this time to return to the Ming Dynasty."
Fang Xing and Xia Changan looked at each other, and then said lightly: "Aren't you a citizen of my Ming Dynasty before?"
“Yes, yes, yes…”
Chen Jianan responded repeatedly: "The young man was originally considered to be a peaceful and stable job, but who would have thought that Ruan Shuai was innocently provoked? In order to protect the innocent people, the young man had no choice but to raise an army. Bo Ye, the young man is loyal to the Ming Dynasty!"
Fang Xing nodded slightly and said, "Then why are you here this time?"
"The little one is stalemate with Ruan Shuai recently. My uncle only needs to go through dozens of miles. The little one guarantees that Ruan Shuai will be panicked. Then the two sides will attack each other, then..."
Chen Jianan looked at Fang Xing's face carefully, and then continued: "Then Ruan Shuai will definitely be defeated. By then, the overall situation in Jiaozhi will be stable."
After hearing this, Fang Xing nodded and praised: "Well, you have a good idea. Let me wait until my uncle discusses with the people below, and I will give you a reply."
When Chen Jianan was taken out with joy, Xia Changan said worriedly: "Xinghe Bo, is this person reliable?"
