Now the Ninth Princess is in short supply, and there are many retired Fan family troops in Pingjiang County. Fan Haizhou's arrival can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need.
But the ninth princess did not immediately agree to Fan Haizhou, but asked: "If you leave, what will King Wu do if he fights Pingjiang and Yushan again?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Now all the cities in Pingjiang and Yushan are equipped with heavy crossbows and catapults, and the people are united. Even if the humble ministers leave, the old soldiers of King Wu's army will not be able to make any waves!"
Fan Haizhou said confidently.
The Ninth Princess did not speak, but turned to look at Han Feng.
"Your Majesty, the people in Pingjiang and Yushan have many veterans of the Fan Jiajun who fought bravely. If Your Majesty leaves some bodyguards and Fan Jiajun to command the people, it shouldn't be a big problem!" Han Feng said quickly.
In fact, this is also the reason why Han Feng took it upon himself to bring Fan Haizhou back.
The people of Pingjiang County had deep feelings for Fan Jiajun. They were all grateful when they learned that Jin Feng had helped General Fan avenge himself and rebuilt Fan Jiajun.
Although there are not as many veterans of the Fan Jiajun among the people of Yushan as there are in Pingjiang County, there are still quite a few.
After the escort took control of Yushan, they immediately launched an operation to allocate land to local tyrants, which brought tangible benefits to the people. Coupled with the publicity of the song and dance troupe and Jinchuan Daily, the people of the two counties are now completely reunited.
When they learned that there was something unusual about King Wu, the Zhongming Group gave a greeting, and almost all the people in the two counties immediately evacuated to the nearest county or county seat.
In the feudal era, when people fled, they would take all their belongings with them.
When the people went to the city, they not only left with them, but also brought with them all the food at home and everything they could carry.
If the people can't take it away, King Wu's army can't take it away either.
The Zhenyuan Escort Bureau and Fan Jiajun also sent the grain seized from the local tyrants to the nearest county seat as quickly as possible before King Wu's army arrived.
Pingjiang and Yushan counties, both the county seat and the county government, are very well prepared and have food and people.
If there are some experienced escorts and veterans to command, dealing with King Wu's army will not be a big problem.
That's why Han Feng made the suggestion just now.
"Your Majesty, Pingjiang and his fathers are extremely grateful for the kindness of Your Majesty and the Imperial Preceptor. Before the minister came, the elders of the clan repeatedly told him to go to Xizhou to reinforce the Imperial Preceptor in order to repay the emperor's favor!"
Fan Haizhou also kowtowed again and asked: "Please give me your majesty's permission!"
When the Ninth Princess heard this, she finally turned to look at Tie Shixin: "According to my decree from the Ministry of War, I have appointed the National Master as the commander-in-chief of the Zhenbei Army, commanding all the troops in the north!
Confess Fan Haizhou as the commander-in-chief of the Fan family army. In addition to leaving behind the necessary defensive forces, he mobilizes all other troops and horses and sets off immediately to Xizhou to reinforce the national division!"
Tie Shixin still didn't know the situation in Zhuangzhuanggou and Wutou Mountain. When the Ninth Princess said this, he immediately knew something was wrong.
But at this time, he didn't ask anything, but bowed and obeyed: "Yes!"
Then he immediately turned around and went back to notify the Ministry of War to draw up the order.
Han Feng, who was standing aside, glanced at Fan Haizhou worriedly.
Having known Fan Haizhou for so long, Han Feng had some understanding of him.
Fan Haizhou asked to lead the Fan family army to support Jin Feng. He did have the intention of repaying his kindness, but more importantly, he expressed his surrender attitude to the Ninth Princess and Jin Feng.
Because Fan Haizhou knew very well that if he wanted the Fan family army to regain its previous influence, he must gain the trust of Jin Feng and the Ninth Princess.
Now that the Ninth Princess has no one available, Jin Feng is confronting Dangxiang in the northwest, which is a good opportunity for him to show off.
The icing on the cake is never as good as the timely help.
If Fan Jiajun really solves Jin Feng's urgent need this time, Fan Jiajun will not only hope to regain his previous influence, but even hope to go one step further!
But Han Feng didn't expect that the ninth princess would be so cruel.
You must know that Pingjiang and Yushan are currently surrounded by King Wu. If the north side of Yushan was not close to the Yangtze River, Han Feng and the others would not even be able to return to Xihewan.
Although the Ninth Princess just said that Fan Haizhou should leave some bodyguards and Fan family troops to defend the city, she also emphasized that Fan Haizhou should only leave "necessary defensive forces", and all other troops should go to Xizhou to reinforce Jin.
Front.
Saying this is tantamount to explicitly asking Fan Haizhou to abandon Pingjiang and Yushan and do his best to reinforce Jin Feng.
So Han Feng was very worried that Fan Haizhou would be cornered by the Ninth Princess.
But Fan Haizhou knelt on the ground for a while, then kowtowed and said: "Thank you Your Majesty for your support. I will return to Pingjiang immediately, leaving 10% of the Fan Jiajun to defend the city, and then immediately lead the rest of the Fan Jiajun and all the Fan Jiajun veterans who can be summoned to go there as soon as possible."
Xizhou, I hope your Majesty will arrange steamships to assist!"
"Okay!" The Ninth Princess nodded slightly: "I will arrange a steamer to wait at Yushan Pier as soon as possible!"
"Yes!" Fan Haizhou kowtowed to the Ninth Princess: "Wei Chen resigns!"
Then he stood up, bowed his body and exited the study, and strode out of the yard without looking back.
Soon, the sound of hurried horse hooves was heard outside the yard.
"You should have arranged manpower in Pingjiang and Yushan, right?"
The Ninth Princess looked at Han Feng.
"Reply to Your Majesty, the arrangements have been made!" Han Feng immediately understood the meaning of the Ninth Princess, nodded and said: "I will immediately send someone to send a message, and let the hidden stakes in Pingjiang and Yushan keep an eye on Fan Jiajun. Once Fan Haizhou makes any changes, the escort will
Take action immediately!”
The Ninth Princess did not answer, but Han Feng understood that this was also an answer in itself.
"Wei Chen resigns!"
Han Feng cupped his hands at the Ninth Princess, turned around and left.
He has been in Pingjiang for so long, it is impossible that he did not leave any preparations.
It's just that he didn't expect to use these back-ups so soon.
The Ninth Princess looked at Han Feng's back. There was no change in her face, but she unconsciously touched her belly.
The order she just gave was really to test whether Fan Haizhou really returned home.
But whether Fan Haizhou listens or not, it will be very dangerous for Pingjiang and Yushan.
Han Feng has returned this time and has brought back many bodyguards. Once Fan Haizhou leaves with Fan Jiajun again, Pingjiang and Yushan may not be able to withstand the siege of King Wu's army!
Once Pingjiang and Yushan are lost, it is self-evident what will happen to the people who have taken refuge in various cities!
Therefore, the order issued by the Ninth Princess just now indeed contains the idea of abandoning Pingjiang and Yushan.
The unconscious action of touching your belly is also filled with guilt.
But she doesn’t regret giving this order!
Because in the eyes of the Ninth Princess, Jin Feng is the most important, and it is also the foundation and lifeblood of New Dakang!
Let alone two enclaves so far away from Sichuan and Shu, even if the Ninth Princess had to choose between Sichuan and Sichuan and Jinfeng, the Ninth Princess would choose Jinfeng without hesitation!
The Ninth Princess now only regrets agreeing to Jin Feng's trip to the northwest.
If she had known it was so dangerous, Princess Ninth would have let Jin Feng stay even if she let down her body and rolled around!
But it's too late to say anything now. The Ninth Princess just wants to send people to Zhuanghuanggou to bring Jin Feng back as soon as possible.
