505、The stalemate
Although the war in Songcheng won the lead in the six southern provinces, the process was not easy.
Qu Jing dared to rebel with Ren Nanyan, and then fled to the capital and could gather 100,000 troops again in just over a year. Naturally, it would not be fake. In addition, his number of troops was higher than that of the six southern provincial troops, and both sides fought near Yongcheng for nearly ten days.
During these ten days, you can hear the sound of artillery fire almost every day. Many people in Songcheng who retreated had to bypass the war zone and fled to Jiazhou. All areas near Songcheng had almost become complete war zones.
Even so, Qujing gradually showed a defeat.
He didn't think he could not beat Fu Fengcheng, but now he realized that he had indeed underestimated the young master of the Fu family who was sought after by all at a young age.
Fu Fengcheng's style of fighting was as tough and fierce as his personality, but not stubborn and old-fashioned. After ten days, most of Qujing's troops had been lost, and he could only retreat all the way to a mountain that was easy to defend and difficult to attack to confront the army of the six southern provinces.
Qu Jing felt that Fu Fengcheng was difficult to deal with, and Fu Fengcheng was also not very satisfied with the battle with Qu Jing. There are no particularly dangerous and complicated terrain and levels near Songcheng. Neither side can use many strategies to fight in battle. Most of the time, they really just fight head-on to see who is better. At present, it seems that Fu Fengcheng is better, but this does not make Young Master Fu happy.
The generals under Mr. Fu were already very satisfied. Seeing that Mr. Fu was unhappy, they all comforted him, saying that Mr. Fu encountered Qu Jing in the first tough battle, and it was good to achieve this without the advantage of his troops.
Although there is still a little difference compared to the great achievements of Governor Fu, it is mainly because it has been too peaceful in recent years and there is no chance to fight a big battle for Mr. Fu. At least at present, Mr. Fu, no matter how big or small, has almost won all the results, which is quite amazing.
This is not entirely a comfort. When it comes to war, they may not be as powerful as Master Fu, but when it comes to seeing more real battlefields than Fu Fengcheng.
This is not a big battle for 70,000 or 80,000 or more. It was not without millions of soldiers and horses when the warlords fought in the melee.
However, the generals' comfort was obviously because they were looking for the wrong direction. Mr. Fu was not displeased because he felt that the performance of this battle was not amazing enough. He just felt that he wasting time in such a stalemate with Qu Jing.
Although Qujing is still insisting, the current war in Jiazhou is basically finalized. However, the post-war disaster problems in Jiazhou and the northwest are still there.
So his expression was cold and purely thinking about how to fight quickly, rather than worrying about whether his resume was good or not.
After the meeting, the crowd came out of the temporary command center set up by the tent and went to do their own business. Fu Fengcheng was slowing down and just heard the guards report, "The young lady is here."
Fu Fengcheng looked up and saw Leng Sa walking towards him from not far away. For ten days, Mrs. Fu was still beautiful and charming and graceful.
Fu Fengcheng was a little surprised and quickly met him, "Why is Madam here?"
Leng Sa smiled and said, "It's nothing wrong in Jiazhou, I'll come and have a look."
"Nothing is wrong in Jiazhou?" Fu Fengcheng raised his eyebrows slightly. Now that Jiazhou has no leader, it is not nothing.
Leng Sa said, "Don't worry, General Song can't make any big waves. What's more, Mr. Fu has been making good news these days, and those in Jiazhou City are smart people, so they naturally know what they can do and what they can't do. In addition, I came here specially for some serious matters."
Fu Fengcheng held her hand and walked in, "Thank you, Madam, what's the matter?"
Leng Sa smiled and said, "I brought someone to you."
Without Leng Saming's words, Fu Fengcheng only needs to think about it for a moment, "Ren Nanyan? He is not dead yet?"
Leng Sa sighed lightly, "It seems that my life is quite big, but it's too soon."
"Madam thinks that Ren Nanyan can be used to persuade Qu Jing to surrender?" Fu Fengcheng asked.
Leng Sa shook her head and said, "The possibility is probably not great, but it will always be useful, right? And... Ren Nanyan himself also wants to meet Qu Jing."
Fu Fengcheng nodded thoughtfully, "Then let someone pass on a message to Qu Jing." Obviously, he didn't have any hope for this.
He pulled Leng Sa back to the tent where he was temporarily living. Before the two of them could talk, Fu Fengcheng was invited away by Xu Shaoming again.
When Fu Fengcheng came back, Leng Sa was leaning against the bedside and holding a document to read. Naturally, what would let Fu Fengcheng put it in the tent casually was not a top-secret document. Leng Sa just looked at it to relieve her boredom. Seeing Fu Fengcheng back, she immediately put down the document and said, "Did your mother send you a telegram?"
Fu Fengcheng shook his head and said, "No."
"Yes, it's easy to intercept telegrams and are not very safe."
Fu Fengcheng walked to her and sat down, "What? What happened to the capital?"
Leng Sa shook his head and said, "No, it's because the capital city is more concerned about the Fu family's affairs in Jiazhou. Mother asked us to be careful."
Fu Fengcheng lowered his eyes and said lightly, "Why didn't you see them caring about it before?"
Leng Sa smiled and said, "Isn't it? There are many statements in Jiazhou City these days. Some people say that the Fu family should withdraw from Jiazhou immediately and return Jiazhou to Governor Liang's subordinates to be considered as having the friendship between Governor Liang. Some people think that Jiazhou should be included in the jurisdiction of the capital. Anyway, Jiazhou does have a hundred miles of land bordering Jiangcheng, which is convenient."
Anyway, no one feels comfortable if the Fu family swallows Jiazhou so smoothly.
Although Jiazhou is not big, no matter how small the mosquitoes are, they are still meat. The six southern provinces are already big enough. What if they let them annex Jiazhou?
"What did my father say?" Fu Fengcheng asked.
Leng Sa leaned against Fu Fengcheng's shoulder and smiled, "The Governor said, don't retreat." With these two words, Fu always didn't care about the sarcasm of outsiders, and spoke very righteously.
"It is true that we cannot retreat." Fu Fengcheng nodded, "The six southern provinces defeated Qujing and withdraw their troops in a full range, and let them fight? In addition, after Qujing's failure, Sun Liang will temporarily cut off the idea of expanding eastward to attack the northwest and do his best to attack the northwest. The route to the northwest must be opened as soon as possible."
Leng Sa frowned and said, "Qujing has been defeated, but Sun Liang is still unwilling to withdraw his troops?"
Fu Fengcheng shook his head and said, "It's not that easy. Fighting is not a game or stopping. Fighting from Jiazhou to the southwest is completely different from fighting from southwest to Jiazhou. It's a hundred times more difficult to get from bottom to top. Sun Liang has a territory advantage. Even if the six southern provinces want to send troops to the southwest on a large scale, the best choice is to detour from the northwest and southwest. Otherwise, it's hard to ascend to the sky by land or water. Sun Liang only needs to set up heavy troops along the way. Even if the Fu family can attack the southwest, it will definitely suffer heavy losses. Sun Liang has occupied this territory and has been able to be fearless over the years. Things have been done, and he will not retreat back to the southwest. He will only join forces with people to take down the entire northwest before the army of the six southern provinces has moved. In addition, did the wife forget? There are also Nile people behind Sun Liang."
Leng Sa looked up at him, "Do you think the Nile people will send troops across the border?"
Fu Fengcheng said in a deep voice: "If necessary."
Leng Sa was also a little powerless and couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that the power-up issued by the previous joint between the Governor and the Dragon Commander is of no use." The fact is indeed not very useful. Although all parties expressed their support for the Northwest, there was no substantial action.
The Long family is willing to help, but in the current situation, the Long family does nothing to help.
Because once the troops of the Northern Four Provinces show signs of troops entering the pass, I am afraid that the Northern Four Provinces and the capital will have to fight first.
"The Governor said that the Governor Long sent someone to send a batch of supplies to the six southern provinces by sea." Leng Sa actually admired Long Xiao when talking about this. He was really not afraid that the six southern provinces would detain this batch of supplies. You know, the Governor Long sent not a little supplies, but it was still very valuable.
And some things are not something that can be bought with money.
Fu Fengcheng Road, "Long Governor Gao Yi."
Leng Sa said: "I don't know what will happen in the end now? Will I repeat the melee that happened more than 30 years ago?"
Fu Fengcheng hugged her and patted her vest gently, and said softly, "Don't worry, such a thing won't happen. It's useless to think too much now, and we'll discuss these things when the northwest settles down."
Leng Sa nodded and said, "I hope so, the railway to the northwest is still being repaired, but the horse bandits in Changcheng still have to be solved, otherwise even if the railway is opened, they will be troublesome to do things from time to time."
Fu Fengcheng said, "I think so too. When Qujing is solved, I will go to Fengcheng."
At the stall where the two of them were talking, the guards reported at the door and sent the person who sent the message to Qujing to come back.
A moment later, a handwritten letter from Qu Jing was delivered to Fu Fengcheng and Leng Sa. The words in Qu Jing were very polite, saying, "I believe that the Fu family would not abuse the critically ill patients, and trouble the Fu family to take care of his teacher, etc., but the hidden meaning is very rude."
It clearly shows that he will not give in to Ren Nanyan. And if the Fu family dares to do anything bad to Ren Nanyan, don’t blame him for telling the world that everyone knows that the eldest young master and young wife of the Fu family abuse the prisoners, and they will not even let an old man who is seriously ill and has been dead for a short time.
Although Ren Nanyan deserves his guilt, people always sympathize with the weak. Many people do not think that the Fu family is doing justice for heaven, but they only say that the Fu family is about to die and the Fu family will not let people leave peacefully, ruthless and cruel.
Of course, Leng Sa and Fu Fengcheng did not really plan to do anything to Ren Nanyan. After all, it was really meaningless to make trouble for an old man who was about to die, and Ren Nanyan could not stand the trouble at all now.
Fu Fengcheng had expected that he didn't care, but just asked someone to take the letter to Ren Nanyan.
Leng Sa felt a little regretful, "It seems that I can't help you anymore."
Fu Fengcheng didn't care, "Mrs. is here, which is the greatest help to me."
"Hmm?" Leng Sa was a little puzzled, and Fu Fengcheng said seriously, "I'm always worried that I haven't seen my wife in front of me for a long time. Now that I see it, I feel at ease."
"..." Leng Sa was a little funny, and after a while he smiled, "You can just say you miss me."
So Mr. Fu said directly, "I miss my wife."
"..." Leng Sa sighed, reached out to hug him and sighed, "I miss Xiao Shi Tou a little bit. The governor said Xiao Shi Tou would turn over by himself and play with people. It was much more interesting than when I left. I don't know if he still remembers us?"
Children have no memory. Not to mention that even a child who is one or two years old can't remember anyone after only a few months.
Leng Sa was really worried that Xiao Shitou wouldn't know her parents when they got back.
Fu Fengcheng whispered, "No." Actually, he wasn't sure, but he still wanted to comfort his wife.
Leng Sa chuckled, looked up at him, and joked: "You have left for a long time than me. If you want to forget, you will forget you first. Dad Shitou, come on."
Fu Fengcheng lowered his eyes, his eyes were gentle and slightly helpless, "We will finish the war as soon as possible, and then go back to Yongcheng." Should we let Long Yue and Loulanzhou come and replace him? It is most suitable for alone people to go out for war for a long time.
Leng Sa nodded and said, "Okay, let's work hard together."
The child is such a tormenting little baby. With him and without him, it is completely different. It is like there is an invisible chain. No matter where you go, there will be a force that will drag you and not go far and often turn back.
But such a ties will not make people feel unwilling or bored, they are only willing or even happy and sweet.
What a sweet little baby.
"Big Young Master, Young Madam." The guards' voices came from outside the door again.
"What's up?"
"The old gentleman brought by the young lady, said he wanted to see the eldest young master."
"..." Both of them were a little surprised. Ren Nanyan wanted to meet Fu Fengcheng? Why? Is Mr. Ren thinking that he still has any transactions to do with Mr. Fu?
Leng Sa told Fu Fengcheng his guess and asked curiously, "What do you think he wants to say?"
Fu Fengcheng shook his head and said that he didn't know either. He really couldn't understand the ideas of people like Ren Nanyan. Of course, he didn't have to understand. He just needed to defeat them.
"You will know when you go and meet." Fu Fengcheng said.
Leng Sa nodded and smiled, "Then go and meet."
