Pang Tong looked at Liu Zhang's expression and knew that it was impossible for Liu Zhang to completely remove Fan Lixiang from office, so he added: "Uncle Huang, if you can't make up your mind, you can transfer Fan Lixiang to a civilian position. She is the prefect of Changsha herself, and as far as I know
, Fan Lixiang has some political ability, so it doesn’t matter as long as she doesn’t have a military position, Pang Tong just wants an army that can be controlled..."
Liu Zhang pondered for a long time, stepped forward to help Pang Tong up, and said in a deep voice: "Shi Yuan, how about you give me some time to think about it?"
"How long?" Pang Tong had no intention of giving in. This was his bottom line.
Liu Zhang pondered for a moment and sat back on the stone bench: "Three days."
"Okay, three days, Pang Tong can wait. After playing this game, I will continue to go back and stand guard for General Gao." After Pang Tong finished speaking, he sat down again, but looking at the chessboard, Liu Zhang's chess had already blocked all his chess.
, Pang Tong chuckled: "It seems that I didn't win the emperor's uncle in a single game today, Pang Tong said goodbye."
Pang Tong picked up the spear on the ground and left three steps at a time, his five-foot body making the suspension bridge clank.
Xiao Furong looked at Pang Tong's back and whispered to Liu Zhang: "Husband, will you be able to make a decision in three days?"
"Why not?" Liu Zhang picked up the chess pieces on the chessboard and put them into the bowl.
"With my husband's behavior, if I can make a decision, I will do it now. If I can't make a decision, I won't be able to do it in three days. Pang Tong is very important to me, but that vixen, oh, that General Fan did not make a big mistake.
She was awarded the official position only after she had performed three meritorious deeds, so your husband doesn’t want to treat her badly, right?"
Liu Zhang sighed and didn't know what he was thinking. He grabbed Xiao Furong's little hand on the stone table and said, "I have wronged you."
When Pang Tong criticized Xiao Furong, Liu Zhang could see that Xiao Furong was really angry. Now that he could watch the chess game calmly and wronged himself in order to accommodate Pang Tong, Liu Zhang felt a little sorry for Xiao Furong.
But Liu Zhang didn't know that Xiao Furong heard the conversation between him and Fazheng that night.
Xiao Furong smiled and shook her head. Her two dimples made Liu Zhang feel at ease.
…
Liu Zhang took his soldiers to the front hall. Xiao Furong looked at the lake and murmured: "It's hard to be a lord."
Sang Ye smiled and said: "Madam, you should hope that Sir will keep Fan Lixiang."
"That vixen? Why?" Xiao Furong looked at Sang Ye in confusion. Even if she didn't understand anything, she could tell from the attitudes of Liu Zhang and other civil and military officials that Pang Tong's role was much greater than that of Fan Lixiang.
What's the difference between a pig and a sausage?
"If your lord really demoted Fan Lixiang because of Pang Tong, it means that your lord is a person who only pays attention to interests. Because Pang Tong is more useful than Fan Lixiang, he chose Pang Tong.
Then one day, your Excellency, you will meet a woman you like more than Madam..."
Sang Ye kept silent, but Xiao Furong came to his senses and said loudly: "How can this be the same? Military and national affairs are not personal affairs. Of course, interests should come first."
After Xiao Furong finished speaking, she picked up the white jade sword and left.
Sang Ye saw every bit of Xiao Furong's behavior, and she absolutely couldn't bear to see Xiao Furong have her own experience in the future. Sang Ye shook her head: "For your husband, personal affairs are not a big deal.
"Sighed and followed.

In the Jingnan Army garrison camp, Xing Daorong was distributing new weapons and cloth armor. This peasant army finally broke away from the era of "rising up the army" and became a formal army. A large flag embroidered with the word "divine power" pointed directly at the sky.
.
Fan Lixiang was wearing armor with white background and red patterns. She was sitting in the tent and looking through a pile of bamboo slips, flipping over and throwing away each one. Finally, the floor was covered with bamboo slips. Chen Ying watched quietly from the side. Fan Lixiang stroked her forehead and said:
"What should I do now? These people really regard me as their savior."
Those bamboo slips are all letters of petition. Not to mention, Fan Lixiang has gained a lot these days. Under the preaching of Fan Lixiang's 20,000 peasant army, which goes from house to house, the people at the bottom of Xiangyang gradually stabilize their hearts and minds.
And after hearing about Fan Lixiang's glorious deeds, he led the peasants in Jingnan to rise up, and in Xiangjiang he persuaded all the people to return, and they all regarded Fan Lixiang as their leader.
There was Liu Zhang's harsh rule over the clan, and Fan Lixiang's "kindness and love for the people". Not only that, letters of petition were handed over one after another, and the people hired a writer to list the grievances they had suffered in the clan. In Fan Lixiang's passion
Incited by surging propaganda, they were handed over one after another, but Fan Lixiang had to accept them because of her identity.
I received thousands of letters at once, and there were tens of thousands of crimes against the family, such as bullying men and dominating women, seizing people's land, and forced buying and selling. It was simply too shocking to list.
It's a pity that Fan Lixiang doesn't want to be a savior, and looking at this sealing bamboo slip makes her head hurt. With so many crimes, any one of them is enough to make those noble families confiscated and exterminated, but if they want to touch those noble families, it's up to them.
Is it possible? These bamboo slips are in vain.
Fan Lixiang was just thinking about how to explain to the people how to maintain her image in their hearts despite the situation of the immobile family.
"Report." A soldier came in: "General, a man outside who calls himself Sima Xiang is coming to see the general."
"Sima Xiang?" Fan Lixiang frowned: "Isn't that the head of the Sima family? Why did he come to see me?"
Chen Yingdao: "The general is now the most valued person by the lord. After Xiangyang was captured, so many generals and civil servants were not rewarded, but only the general was granted the title. Of course these noble families will come to curry favor, especially the Sima family. Sima Hui offended the lord, but
He ran away alone, leaving behind a group of Sima family members who are unwilling to part with their property, and the Sima family is the most engaged in illegal activities, so of course they want to curry favor with the general."
"The person you value most?" Fan Lixiang chuckled: "Look at how stupid you are, that's the person you don't trust the most."
Fan Lixiang could still guess what Liu Zhang was thinking. I am afraid that among the entire Sichuan army, Liu Zhang was the most worried about himself, so he was the first to award the reward.
She entered Sichuan Camp because she wanted to gain power, and she also established personal prestige among the people. It would be strange not to arouse the fear of the Lord. Fan Lixiang knew all this, but she had no choice.
As a female prostitute, there were many people in the army who disliked her. Forget about a flea like Qin Ming, especially that Pang Tong. How could Fan Lixiang not feel a sense of crisis?
As a woman, Fan Lixiang is no different from other women if she loses her power. To retain power, she must have her own capital. People's hearts are her own capital, which makes Liu Zhang afraid when he removes his power.
.
"Alas, my reputation is not high now, so I can't guarantee that my beloved official position will be safe. If my reputation becomes high in the future, I will have to worry about being overshadowed by my power. Alas, it will be difficult."
Fan Lixiang sighed and suddenly rolled her eyes, "Why not get rid of that flea first?"
Fan Lixiang gave some instructions to the two soldiers, and summoned more than a dozen generals to stand on both sides. She said in a cold voice: "You all have to remember this for me. When that old Sima comes in later, after I finish speaking, how can you humiliate me?"
Humiliate him as much as you want, trample on him as much as you can, in short, you regard yourselves as generous righteous men who save the country and the people, and Sima Xiang is just a traitor who brings disaster to the country and the people, do you understand?"
"Understood." More than a dozen generals responded loudly. Although these big men who were farmers a few months ago did not know how to lead troops, over the past few months, they have deeply realized that the words of the female devil in the hall are absolutely
There can't be any disobedience.
Sima Xiang walked outside the tent and waited for Fan Lixiang to summon him, followed by two servants carrying gold plates. The last gathering in the river valley did not result in a discussion. Later, Sima Xiang went to Cai Yu himself to inquire about the situation.
The Cai family is indeed fully prepared. They have the descendants of the aristocratic family to support them internally, and they have Huang Zu, Chen Sheng, Zhang Yun and Jiangdong army to support them from the outside. They are attacking from both inside and outside, and have a high chance of winning.
However, the families still couldn't make up their minds. Liu Zhang was notorious for his ruthlessness and would gamble with the lives of his entire clan. Even if he was 90% sure, he would not dare to take action. Therefore, the families settled for the next best thing and decided to bribe the officials and generals of the Sichuan Army.
, one is to make his life easier, and the other is to provoke internal conflicts within the Sichuan Army. In fact, this is also a common method used by the family.
Moreover, in the eyes of ordinary people, those who have been promoted quickly from poor families are especially vulgar and greedy for money.
"Hey, have you heard?"
While Sima Xiang was waiting, two soldiers outside the tent started talking. This was not surprising. After the Sichuan army arrived in Xiangyang, Fan Lixiang's army had the most contact with Xiangyang people. The military style was really not worthy of praise. When Sima Xiang entered the military camp,
I'm used to seeing undisciplined sergeants, so a conversation between two soldiers on guard is really nothing.
"What did you hear?"
"Alas, General Fan cannot be reused. We have no future with General Fan."
"Come on, didn't General Fan just get a reward? He was the first one to be awarded one."
"You know what the heck, it's because my lord is afraid of General Fan's rebellion. General Fan is good at everything, but his personality is too straight, he hates evil as much as hatred, punishes evil and promotes good, and it is his duty to punish evil. Alas, he has offended too many people, and among the people
The prestige is also high, my lord has long been dissatisfied with General Fan. Alas, it is a pity to lose a good general who redresses the injustice of the people."
"Indeed, a few days ago, Commander Zhang brought a batch of military rations from Jiangling and found it in the Xiangjiang River. He came to ask General Fan to intercede, but General Fan refused. You must know that Commander Zhang is Gao Pei.
A close confidant of the general, no, this is offending someone again."
"Then what happened?"
"Then? Later, didn't Chief Zhang find Colonel Qin Ming and give him 10,000 yuan? Captain Qin helped to intercede, so the matter was overturned?"
"Oh, that's it. It's no wonder. Even though Captain Qin's official position is not high, my lord can trust him now, hush." The soldier lowered his voice so that Sima Xiang, who was just close by, could hear: "I heard
Lieutenant Qin Ming is a spy arranged by the lord in the army, and one word from him is equivalent to a hundred words from General Fan."
Sima Xiang was listening intently when a young general from the main tent came out with his sword across his sword: "Sima Xiang, General Fan wants you to come in."
After listening to the words of the two soldiers, Sima Xiang felt that these young generals were upright.
Sima Xiang walked into the big tent grandly, his gray beard dancing in the wind, and he had the aura of a clan leader. People of these clans will protect their appearance no matter where they go, not to mention the "Shenwei Army" outside.
There is no deterrence at all.
The messy bamboo slips in the big tent have been put away, and there are about fifty envelopes stacked on a small mountain on the table in front of Fan Lixiang.
Fan Lixiang leaned lazily on her pocket, opened her folding fan, and fanned gently, without raising her head, she said: "Master Sima, what's the matter with coming to me? I'm busy with official duties, so just tell me."
Sima Xiang glanced at the rainy weather outside, and then at Fan Lixiang who was fanning her fan. He frowned slightly, bowed and said, "Sima Xiang, a common man, has met General Fan."
"Too much nonsense." Fan Lixiang scolded coldly.
Sima Xiang's face stiffened for a while, and he said to Fan Lixiang: "General Fan, I am here to clarify some misunderstandings. First, the Sima family has absolutely no intention of going against Uncle Liu Huang. Second, some unscrupulous people are asking Fan
The general reported on the Sima family for deliberate slander, and asked General Fan to investigate. This is a gift prepared by the common people for General Fan. It can help, and it can help General Fan's Shenwei Army with military resources."
Sima Xiang clapped his hands as he spoke, and two servants came in carrying two plates of gold.
Fan Lixiang raised her head and glanced at the two plates of gold that could brighten her eyes, slapped her fan on the table, and said to Sima Xiang in a cold voice: "Old Sima, who do you think I, Fan Lixiang, am? You
Do you think I will accept those ill-gotten gains obtained by plundering people’s fat and anointing them?”
"Bah~~"
Fan Lixiang pushed down the bamboo slips on the case, scattered dozens of bamboo slips on the floor, and said sternly: "Look at the good things your Sima family has done, look at the charges, every word belongs to the common people.
Blood and tears, do you think that I, Fan Lixiang, will join forces with thieves like you who bring disaster to the country and the people?"
Fan Lixiang glanced at the generals. The generals were silent at first, but suddenly they exploded.
"Bah, you old man, you have no shame in splashing."
"Old man, go back and don't even look at us. We are all generous men who save the country and the people."
"You, the old bastard from the fish and meat village, deserve to be stewed in soup and fed to the dogs."
"What are you doing, eating dog shit?"
"**Mother's."
…………
A group of peasant generals were chattering like a quarrel in the countryside. They were spitting and swearing. Sima Xiang, a Confucian scholar, had never experienced such a shameful humiliation. He was still being scolded by a group of untouchables. His face was bruised and white.
Before Fan Lixiang could chase away the guests, she fled in confusion, and the generals chased her and scolded her.
Fan Lixiang glanced at the two generals, who immediately flew to seize the gold plates from the two servants of the Sima family. Sima Xiang was pushed out of the tent, and Fan Lixiang's clear and sweet voice came from behind: "What about Sima Dog?"
Thief, I will go and present these charges to the lord right now. You go back and wash your neck and wait."
"Plop."
A general kicked Sima Xiang in the butt, causing Sima Xiang to lose his shit and escape from the camp in embarrassment.
There were many people watching outside the camp. These people came to observe the reality after watching Sima Xiang enter. Now they put all their hopes on Fan Lixiang.
If it weren't for Liu Zhang's reputation and Fan Lixiang's sensational preaching, they wouldn't have dared to sue those noble families. (To be continued.
