Lord of the House

Wang Chengfu followed the messenger up the mountain, feeling uneasy.

There are uncontrollable expectations, and hesitation and fear because he can't see the development of the situation, but when he thinks that he is only a prisoner who has been assassinated forever, everything is relieved-for him, there is nothing to worry about. .

After letting go of the anxiety in his heart, Wang Chengfu walked on the stone steps under the shade of the trees, and he had the leisure to watch the situation up and down Zilang Mountain carefully.

Although Chongzhou New City was built at the northeastern foothills of Zilang Mountain, Wang Cheng obeyed Dongya to climb the mountain, and when he walked halfway up the mountain and looked back, he had a panoramic view of Chongzhou New City, which had just risen from the foundation of the wall. Thousands of recruiters were busy on the construction site. At the north gate of the new city, a new avenue extends out, connecting with the original Chongzhou official road.

When Wang Chengfu was in Jiangmen, he knew about the construction of the city in Chongzhou, and he was not surprised when he saw the scene at the foot of the mountain, but the new city was slightly smaller than expected, and at a cursory glance, it seemed to be only more than 3,000 paces around according to the mountain and the mouth of the river.

In Jianghuai, except for three or five heroic cities such as Jiangning, Weiyang, and Suyu, due to the calamity of young soldiers and bandits in Huainan, all the prefectures and counties are reluctant to waste too much manpower and material resources in the construction of the city, so that Jianghuai, Jiangnan, etc. The city of Fuxian is short and small, and it has been in disrepair over the years, which is not in line with the wealth of Zhufu County. This is also one of the reasons why Chongzhou easily broke the city in early April.

The surrounding city is only more than 3,000 steps. Since it is not prominent in the Jianghuai Prefectures and counties, Wang Chengfu is a little puzzled: Lin Fu intends to use Chongzhou as the foundation and manage the power, and has the opportunity to build a new Chongzhou city. Why not build the city of Chongzhou into a high, deep and impregnable city?

Wang Chengfu hid his doubts in his heart, but he kept walking, walking up the mountain. As soon as the mountain road turned, there was no dense forest to block the view. Wang Chengfu saw that this was a steep place to climb the mountain from the east foot. Originally, there was a stone archway. Today, the stone archway is embedded in a brick wall, leaving only four or five arms long in the middle. The mountain gate, the brick wall meets the cliffs on both sides.

There are crenels on the wall, and there are soldiers on duty. Wang Chengfu passes through the door, and there are barracks on both sides of the mountain gate. Wang Chengfu walked up the mountain again, stood on a cliff and looked back down. He could clearly see the terrain left and right of the mountain gate. The mountain gate was actually a pass for climbing from the east foot of the mountain. The walls were thick and steep and integrated with the mountain. It is actually a small fortress built halfway up the mountain. Thirty to fifty elites are stationed there, which can restrict the enemy from climbing from the east.

The cliff where Wang Chengfu is standing is located on the southeast corner of Zilang Mountain. Not only can you see the new city where the foundation was built in the distance, but you can also see the situation of Nanya Pier, Dongya and the military cottage on the opposite bank.

The south and west sides of Zilang Mountain are facing the river, and the terrain is the most dangerous. From Nanya Pier to Dongya, there was only one narrow path connecting it. Half of the narrow road has been widened. Wang Chengfu is standing on the cliff. Compared with the old and new mountain roads, the new road needs to be more than two or three times wider.

There is also a mountain road being excavated from the Nanya Pier to the mountain gate fortress just passed. Different from the ordinary stone steps mountain road, this mountain road is a **** built around the mountain. The **** is quite wide and can accommodate two horses. side by side.

If it is just for the convenience of pedestrians climbing from the South Cliff, it would be too extravagant to build this mountain road. Besides, when Wang Chengfu landed at the Nanya Wharf, he saw that there was a narrow narrow path with steep stone steps leading to the mountain.

If Dongya and Nanya Wharf are regarded as small fortresses, and the mountain gate fortress just passed by, they are horns of each other, and the troops in the three important villages can quickly rush to each other through the ramp - except for these arrangements. In the places where the southern **** of Zilang Mountain is somewhat flat and easy to climb, people are organized to shovel the floating soil, surround it with bricks, and artificially form a steep cliff. Looking at the layout of the southeast slope, it is vaguely a strict defense system, but only Many places have not yet been built and have not yet shown their full appearance.

After thinking about this part, Wang Chengfu was quite excited. Even if he could not see the defensive layout of other places in Zilang Mountain at this time, he could guess that Lin Fu had the intention of building a fortress and a city according to the danger. It is to build another majestic Zilang Mountain City outside Chongzhou New City, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and form a complete defense system with Chongzhou New City.

Chongzhou New City and Zilang Mountain City were built, and the distance between them was only four or five hundred paces. It's hard to say, isn't it?

*********

Wang Chengfu stood on the cliff and looked at the layout of the southern foot of Zilang Mountain, while Lin Fu and Cao Zian stood on the top of the cliff to look at him.

"With the crime of stabbing and matching Yongchong, it can be said that the officials of the Hecheng Division are moved, allowing him to secretly allow the displaced households to cultivate grain fields for profit in Jiangmen, and he has indeed managed Jiangmen well; he is good at disguise, and the boat Jiangkou has passed, but he can't see the truth of Jiangmen, he is really a capable person," Cao Ziang said with a smile, "Looking at him waiting on the cliff, he seems to have an understanding of the layout of Zilang Mountain City - if this person can use it, he will be able to use it. Great use."

Hecheng Division has no relationship with the prefecture and county, and it is a separate line. This side has long seen the abnormality of the East Gate, but cannot find the person in charge of the secret. I met Song Bo in Jiangmen and saw Wang Chengfu's abnormality. Lin Fu instructed the sentry of Jiangdong Zuojun to find out Wang Chengfu's roots as soon as possible.

Wang Chengfu was sentenced to assassinate his partner Yongchong for the crime of adultery/prostitution. In fact, when he was serving as a staff member to Cao Yiqu, the head of the Cao clan in the Western Qin Dynasty, he had an affair with Cao Yiqu's daughter. , to the Cao family to discover.

Wang Chengfu originally had a wife and a pair of children, but he may not have the fantasy of a talented person and a beautiful woman in his heart. Although the Cao family is a family of military generals, they are more focused on the vanity of family style. The scandal is hard to hide, even if the Cao family is a concubine daughter, there is no reason for a poor scholar to be a concubine. After the incident, the Cao family was furious, and Wang Chengfu was arrested and sent to the officials to be convicted of adultery/prostitution.

The Cao family of Guyuan was the head of the West Qin County. The Hou Su Hu of Jingbei had offended the Cao family in his early years and was forced to move his family to Jiangning. Even when Su Hushen was in a high position, he still did not mention the hatred of the year. One is that Jingbei Hou Kuan treats people with kindness, another is that the Cao family is powerful, and no matter how powerful Su Hu is, he can't hurt the Cao family - today's Cao family is even more powerful.

The two generations of Cao's father and son successively served as the general envoy of Guyuan and the northwest of Zhenshu, and all the generals from the three sides went out of Caomen.

If it is said that the Dayue Dynasty still has a warlord force comparable to the She family, it is the Cao family of Guyuan in the Western Qin Dynasty. Due to the clan case, the She family was forced to contact the other seven surnames in Dongmin to raise the flag of rebellion, causing chaos for ten years. At that time, even the imperial court was suspicious and wary of the Cao family, but under the circumstances, they had to double down on the Cao family.

Cao Hongfan, the former head of the family, the former general envoy of Guyuan and the governor of various towns in Guyuan, took advantage of the turmoil in East Fujian and frequent incidents in the northeast. On the grounds that he was critically ill, he recommended his son Cao Yiqu to replace him as the general envoy of Guyuan, and the court was forced to accept it. .

Cao Hongfan was "critically ill" for five years, and he didn't really die until the first year of Delong.

At this time, Cao Yiqu had established prestige in the Guyuan army, and the Cao family also completely controlled Guyuan Zhubianfu, colluded with foreigners in the northwest, and the forces were intertwined. Cao Hongfan was the king of Guyuan County, to reassure him.

Cao Hongfan, the previous head of the Cao family, became the first official in the border area to be named a king by a different surname in addition to the founding generals and heroes in the more than 200 years since the founding of the Dayue Dynasty.

Under such circumstances, Wang Chengfu, who seduced Cao Yiqu's concubine to give birth to a daughter and made the Cao family a laughing stock, was not only lucky to save his life, but also because of his talent and reputation as a young man, and some people pity his talent and help him to intercede.

********

Wang Chengfu climbed the mountain, Lin Fu and Cao Zian had already returned to the front hall, waiting for him to come.

Wang Chengfu saw Lin Fu read the official letter before sitting at the desk, and a middle-aged general in military uniform sat next to him. He bowed to Lin Fuzuo and said, "Sinner Wang Chengfu pays homage to the adults. I don't know if the adults are summoned. What instructions do you have?"

"You know Song Bo's identity. Do you know why I let Song Bo see the truth of Jiangdong's left army?" Lin Fu raised his head and looked at Wang Chengfu. Wang Chengfu was not very old, and he was not yet in his thirties, but he was exiled. Eight years later, he suffered a lot, his temples were slightly frosty, his face was black and thin, and wrinkled, and he looked about the same age as Cao Ziang.

Wang Chengfu didn't think about it, and said directly: "Your Excellency sees that the Song family has a wise and prudent intention to protect themselves, so he shows his military appearance and shocks his heart..."

Lin Fu put down the official letter in his hand, and did not say anything to Wang Chengfu's answer, and said directly: "I lead the Jiangdong Left Army to garrison Chongzhou to control the sea frontier, and I also have the important task of rebuilding the prison and Chongcheng. Short of manpower, do you think the ministry is minor?"

"Chengfu is a body for sin, and I don't dare to hope for prosperity. I only hope that the crime can be washed away before death and return to the homeland." Wang Chengfu said.

Lin Fu said: "I have not won much in the sea this time, but with thirty or fifty heads, it is easy to replace you with a free body... However, the Cao family is very powerful in Guyuan, and it is difficult for you to return to your homeland. If you are willing to use Chongzhou is my hometown, so I can arrange to bring your family to Chongzhou."

"Chengfu kowtows to thank you for being perfect. Chengfu wishes to make Chongzhou his homeland, but he is worried that his family will experience turmoil~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I haven't heard from them for several years, and I don't know if they still live in their homeland..." Wang Chengfu said The body of sin, but in front of Lin Fu always greeted each other with respect, a little arrogant, and at this time fell to the ground, expressing his sincerity.

"We will do our best to secure the destiny," Lin Fu said. "There are sentries in the army who will go to the northwest to watch the wind. I want them to focus on finding the Wang family. As long as they can find it, it will be easy to pick up. Although it has been seven or eight years, the Cao family has I may not remember you, act cautiously, until your family picks up, I will not use military merit to wash away your sins for the time being, but you don't have to worry about anything. There are many measures in Jiangmen, I know you are diligent in political affairs, I want to check the public land and official land on both sides of the Yunyan River, in order to realize the county warehouse, I want to organize manual dredging to widen the Yunyan River, to promote water conservancy and river management, in order to eliminate the problem of waterlogging on both sides of the river. Although these many things are carried out in the name of the county households and workshops, it is difficult to carry out without the presidency here. These many things are complicated and complicated, and there is a shortage of manpower. Are you willing to assist in this matter?"

"Everything in Chengfu obeys the instructions of the adults." Wang Chengfu said.

"That's it," Lin Fu turned around and said to Cao Zi'ang, "If someone goes to Jiuhua Temple, take Wang Chengfu to meet with Li Shuyi and see if there is anything that can be arranged for him."

"I'm going to Jiuhua tomorrow, I'll take him there." Cao Zi'ang said.

"That's fine." Lin Bie nodded and said.

Lin Fuyi built a prison city at the East Gate, intending to use the prisoners to gradually reclaim the grassland and wasteland along the river. Wang Chengfu was familiar with the situation of the grassland in Hecheng and the Jiangmen area. ——However, Lin Fu still decided to let Wang Chengobey participate in the investigation of the public land. He always had to observe for a period of time before deciding whether to use him alone at the key point. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
