Chapter 765 Arriving at Xinghe Fort
The Fang family's full moon wine was very lively, and Daming's youngest reserve uncle, Tudou, was so adorable that even Hu Guang couldn't help touching his face. ← Fiction,
It's just that Xie Jin was drinking with Ma Su in the study today, and he was not happy to see his former colleagues.
Naturally, there was a lot of excitement during the banquet, and after the excitement ended, the tired Zhang Shuhui heard the bad news.
"Your Majesty needs a confidant to check on the situation there, mainly because he is worried that the cleaning of the guards will cause chaos in the north."
Fang Xing knew very well that when he went to the north by himself, he not only had to check the situation on the front line of Xinghe, but also had to find out how the guards in the north were reacting to the Qing army.
"Speaking of which, it's all Ji Gang's fault. If it wasn't for him, His Majesty naturally wouldn't need to send someone there, Jin Yiwei would inquire about the news."
Fang Xing dryly comforted his wife and concubine, but Xiao Bai's tearful appearance made him feel the emotion of his past life.
Zhang Shuhui put the potatoes in the shaker, turned around and said: "My husband is serving the country, and I can only support her. I just ask my husband to think about his wife and children at home, and always remember my own safety."
...
The snow on the grassland is the best defense for the garrison of Xinghebao. Unless they are crazy, or think that Xinghebao's status is important, neither the Arutai nor the Wala people will attack here in winter.
However, Commander Wang Huan's mood couldn't get better. Early in the morning, he took two Thousand Household Officers to patrol the city.
Xinghe Fort is the arm of Daming extending from the Great Wall, and it may become an abandoned child at any time, so it is inevitable that it will be a little bit worse in construction.
Liang Shun was walking on the snow-covered street, seeing those sergeants lazily sweeping the snow, he couldn't help but said: "My lord, these boys don't seem to be well-trained! Why don't you go and call them up later? "
Although it is Wei, there are only two thousand households in Kexing and Baoli. Another thousand household officer, Yang Fuhong, touched his fat face, glanced at Wang Huan, and said with a smile: "Master Liang, you and I are both In this way, if you practice too much, death will be unavoidable, and then we will have to go to the Xuanfu to file a lawsuit, why bother!"
Liang Shun looked at Yang Fuhong's short and fat figure, and said disgustedly: "Master Yang, your subordinates haven't practiced for a long time, right?"
"Yo!" Yang Fuhong smiled and said, "Yes, everyone is the same, why don't Mr. Liang take it with you today? Yang is very grateful."
Liang Shun said contemptuously: "If it wasn't for the sake of adults,
How could Liang be with people like you! "
Yang Fuhong wasn't annoyed either, he just smiled and said, "Then I'll leave it to Mr. Liang, but you have to take it easy, you won't recognize someone who has been trained to death."
Wang Huan didn't care about the disputes between the two subordinates. He saw that the people were also lazy, so he said: "Alutai has won a big victory. Who knows if he will surprise Xinghe and make those brothers busy?" Get up, run, and run to warm up your body."
Liang Shun strode over immediately, but Yang Fuhong said with a smile: "My lord, I think you are too worried. The Tatars will not come out of their tents in winter, otherwise their cattle and sheep will be frozen to death."
People on the grassland are sometimes less important than livestock, and it is not uncommon for humans and animals to live together in a tent.
Wang Huan frowned tightly, "Be careful, there is no big mistake. I am waiting for the lonely grassland. I am worried every day. I am afraid that I will be blocked in the city when I wake up overnight. Have you sent scouts?"
Yang Fuhong smiled and said, "Sent. My lord, isn't that Xinghebo coming in a few days? Even if Alutai wanted to sneak attack, he wouldn't dare to come when he heard his name!"
Wang Huan sighed: "Be careful, there is no big mistake!"
When the snow in the city was almost cleared, several scouts rushed into Xinghebao.
"My lord, Jubaoshanwei is not far away."
Wang Huan breathed a sigh of relief, and then ordered: "Order more than a hundred households to wait at the gate of the city."
The weather was very cold, and after people gathered in the city gate, all they could hear was the sound of sniffling.
Liang Shun looked into the distance and said, "My lord, that Bo Xinghe has made great achievements in battle! Did His Majesty send him here to attack Alutai?"
Yang Fuhong yawned and said, "Think about it with your brain, who will send troops in winter?"
Liang Shun said contemptuously: "Li Shuoxue entered Caizhou at night."
"Come on, come on, stand up straight!"
Wang Huan's voice interrupted Yang Fuhong's rebuttal, and everyone lined up and walked out of the city gate.
In the snowstorm, dozens of cavalry rushed over, and the leader shouted: "Xinghe Bo's family Ding Fangwu, but Lord Wang?"
Wang Huan quickly responded: "It's Wang, but uncle is here?"
Fang Wu wiped off the melted snow on his face and said, "I'll be there soon, I need hot water."
Wang Huan knew how difficult it was to march in this kind of weather, so he immediately ordered: "Hurry up, let those common people come to help, boil the hot water, and check the residence again. Bedding is indispensable."
When Fang Xing led the team to arrive, the hot water in the city was already ready, and even the doctors were called together, waiting to treat the injured.
"Thank you, Mr. Wang."
Fang Xing was very satisfied. This time he led his troops through the canal, and then trekked all the way to Xinghe Fort. Compared with the previous trip, it was easier and the preparations were much more sufficient.
"Uncle, more than 30 people have been injured, and the tools have been taken in."
Lin Qun'an ran back and forth, and even Wang He had to check the number of people and supplies, and he was too busy for a while.
Wang Huan said with a smile: "Uncle has come here, the official's heart has fallen, and Alutai must not dare to provoke him."
Fang Xing nodded and said: "But don't be careless, the scouts must be thrown out, and the beacon tower must also pay attention."
Wang Huan couldn't help but feel a sense of confidant, nodded and said: "I haven't slept well since I was stationed here, because I'm afraid of Tatars and Oirats raiding."
Fang Xing hummed and said: "It's getting late, Uncle Ben goes to wash up first, let's discuss things after dinner."
As soon as Fang woke up, he directly occupied Wang Huan's territory, but it was just a small courtyard with two entrances.
After taking a shower, Fang Xing fell asleep straight away regardless of the fact that her hair was still wet.
...
Dinner was very simple, a canned fish, a small dish of kimchi, but Fang Xing had a good appetite after waking up, and even ate three flatbreads.
After eating, Fang Xing wandered around the small courtyard, thinking about the situation of the guard that he was quietly patrolling along the way.
In the north, the closer the guards are to the frontier, the more full they will be. This is also related to the effectiveness of supervision.
However, there were still cases of embezzlement, and there were a lot of corruption. These Fang Xing wrote memorials and sent them to Jinling.
Xuanfu Fang Xing's subordinates were not very enthusiastic about the arrival of Fang Xing's department, after all their old chief Zheng Heng fell into Fang Xing's hands.
"Master, Mr. Wang and the others are here."
Fang Xing nodded, and then went to the front lobby.
"Sit down."
As soon as Fang Xing entered, he asked straight to the point: "Has there been any enemy rangers peeping recently?"
"Yes." Wang Huan was obviously familiar with the situation, which made Fang Xing feel more fond of him.
"Uncle, those Tatar cavalry often approach Xinghe, and they are not afraid to meet our scouts, they just watch from a distance."
Seeing Wang Huan's nervous expression, Fang Xing comforted him, "This is because Alutai is afraid that His Majesty will conquest again, so he sent someone to investigate. It's okay." Baidu search "", read the latest and most complete novel !
