"Prince Jin will talk about it later. The most important thing now is to support Mr. Jin. As long as Mr. Jin is here, King Jin will not be able to escape sooner or later!"
Zhao Yue pointed at Guan Xiaorou and introduced: "This is Mrs. Xiaorou, who is also Mr. Jin's wife!"
Back in Weizhou City, Fan Haizhou's character was famous for his stubbornness. At best, he was straightforward, and at worst, he was short-minded.
That's why Zhao Yue hurriedly came up to him when he saw him.
Zhao Yue didn't know that Zheng Fang had already reminded Fan Haizhou. When introducing Guan Xiaorou, he deliberately added an accent to the word "wife" to remind Fan Haizhou not to say the wrong thing.
Not worried about this, he secretly gave Fan Haizhou a wink.
"Fan Haizhou meets Madam!"
Fan Haizhou knelt on the ground with a plop and kowtowed heavily to Guan Xiaorou.
Although Guan Xiaorou doesn't care much about political affairs, she has heard of Fan Jiajun and Fan Haizhou.
If it were a normal meeting and Fan Haizhou kowtowed to her, Guan Xiaorou would definitely be in a hurry.
But at this time, she was a little dissatisfied with Fan Haizhou. She didn't even get off her horse, but said lightly: "General Fan, get up. The Zhenyuan Escort Bureau doesn't want to kneel down. I can't bear it!"
"If it hadn't been for Mr. Jin's generous action, I, Fan Haizhou, would have died in the wilderness long ago, and my body would have been eaten by wild wolves! Mr. Jin not only saved my life, but also helped rebuild the Fan family army. He is a great benefactor. Even if Fan Haizhou is
It’s hard to repay even if your body is broken into pieces!”
Fan Haizhou kowtowed to Guan Xiaorou again and said shamefully: "Sir, you are in trouble. General Zheng ordered us to bring a hot air balloon to support you. We did not complete the task in time, please punish me!"
Guan Xiaorou's cold attitude towards Fan Haizhou was also because of this incident.
When she arrived at Dashanguan, she heard that Fan Haizhou had been setting off with a hot air balloon for a few days. As a result, Fan Haizhou was still in Jiulian Gou.
This made Guan Xiaorou, who cared about Jin Feng, very dissatisfied, although she knew there must be a reason for this.
If Fan Haizhou made excuses to explain when he saw her, Guan Xiaorou would be even more angry. However, Fan Haizhou did not do that, but took the initiative to admit his mistake and kowtowed loudly, which made Guan Xiaorou's resentment dissipate a lot.
But Guan Xiaorou still asked: "I heard that General Fan is also a veteran general who has been in the army for many years. He knew that the enemy would definitely ambush on the road. Why didn't he bring a few airships when he set out?"
"Madam, it's my fault!"
Zheng Fang, who followed, explained: "Steam engines are all made of iron. At that time, I just wanted to let the Fan family army travel lightly and support Sir as quickly as possible, so I didn't prepare an airship for General Fan and others."
Hearing this, Zhao Yue couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Zheng Fang.
Zheng Fang's words may be able to deceive the simple Guan Xiaorou, but they cannot deceive Zhao Yue.
He knew that the biggest reason why Zheng Fang did not provide Fan Jiajun with an airship was probably because he did not trust Fan Haizhou and Fan Jiajun.
After all, airships and steam engines are currently the core technologies of the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau, but Fan Jiajun is not a direct descendant of Jin Feng, and Fan Haizhou has no friendship with Jin Feng before. If he ran away with the airship and steam engine, the loss would be irreparable.
But these words cannot be said clearly, and Zhao Yue can also understand Zheng Fang's concerns.
Because the heavy crossbows and catapults designed by Jin Feng had been copied by the enemy, Wei Laosan, who knew the manufacturing process of fireproof cloth, was also kidnapped by the Tubo people.
If Gada hadn't been killed by Niu Ben outside Xichuan City, causing Tubo to fall into chaos again, the situation in Sichuan and Shu would definitely be more difficult than it is now.
After listening to Zheng Fang's explanation, Guan Xiaorou's anger calmed down.
He raised his hand towards Fan Haizhou: "General Fan, get up. We'll talk about other things later. Now hurry up and leave as soon as possible!"
"Yes! Fan Jiajun is willing to be the pioneer for his wife!"
Fan Haizhou agreed, got up, hugged Guan Xiaorou's fists, turned around and left.
Soon, Fan Jiajun changed direction and walked at the front to clear the way for the large army.
"Madam, I have watched this child Haizhou grow up. Although he is a bit naive, he is definitely a good, loyal and reliable child."
Zhao Yue was worried that Fan Haizhou would leave a bad impression on Guan Xiaorou, so after getting on the horse, he said good things for him.
Guan Xiaorou hummed in a low voice without comment and did not answer.
As soon as Zhao Yue saw Guan Xiaorou's reaction, he knew that what he was worried about had happened.
Guan Xiaorou's impression of Fan Haizhou is definitely not very good.
But Zhao Yue could tell that Guan Xiaorou didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, and trying to persuade her at this time would be self-defeating, so he wisely didn't say anything more, and just glanced at Fan Haizhou's back, and could only blame him for his bad luck.
Sometimes fighting does require some luck.
For example, Li Guang, the flying general in Jin Feng's previous life, was unparalleled in bravery, capable of running the army, and loyal to the emperor of the Han Dynasty, but he was unlucky.
While Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were killing people at the front, Li Guang and his team got lost in the grassland. On more than one occasion, he seriously delayed the opportunity to fight, and finally committed suicide in shame and anger.
Therefore, it is said that in Jin Feng's previous life, Feng Tang Yi Lao and Li Guang were unable to be sealed.
Although there are Li Guang's own reasons for this, there is also a lot of luck.
Fan Haizhou was indeed a good man when leading troops in battle, and he really wanted to support Jin Feng. Unfortunately, he was too upright and did not gain the trust of Jin Feng and his subordinates, so he was stopped in Jiuliangou.
But there are no excuses for war, there are only wins and losses, and a defeat is a defeat. Zhao Yue has no choice but to look for opportunities to teach Fan Haizhou more.
In the next two days, under Guan Xiaorou's urging, the team was on the road at full speed.
There was also an ambush by the King of Qin's army, but an airship followed the formation and the large army did not even stop, so the King of Qin's army was defeated by the airship.
In Zhuzhuanggou, Chen Anjie had been sending people to pay attention to the movements of Dasanguan. The day after the ambush in Jiuliangou failed, Chen Anjie received the news.
When he learned that Jin Feng's reinforcements had brought a large number of airships, Chen Anjie became anxious. That night, regardless of the danger, he bypassed Brass Valley via the east path and ran to Dangxiang's southern expedition camp to find Li Lingrui.
When the King of Qin's army was stationed at Wutou Mountain, Chen Anjie had been stalling for time with Li Lingrui.
But this time Chen Anjie really wasn't playing tricks. Before the 160,000 reinforcements sent by the King of Qin arrived, Chen Anjie launched a crazy offensive on the southern section of Brass Valley, forcing Jin Feng to mobilize manpower from the north to defend the southern end.
, which relieved a lot of pressure on Party Xiang’s southern expedition.
Last time Chen Anjie came over, Li Lingrui deliberately left him alone for a long time, but this time when he heard that Chen Anjie was visiting, Li Lingrui got out of bed in the middle of the night. He didn't even have time to fix his hair, so he ran over to greet him.
He knew that Chen Anjie ran over in the middle of the night, and something important must have happened.
His attitude toward Chen Anjie also changed: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to visit late at night. What advice do you have?"
