Chapter 359 [Prime Minister Liu and Marshal Yu]
After asking for directions twice, Fang Chang found the former camp of the Rebel Army.
It is said to be a camp, but it is actually the center of civil affairs in several nearby states. After all, Liu Yuande, the most powerful adviser under King Liu Dan, who was named prime minister, is handling political affairs here.
But it was because, after capturing Jiangnan, the rebels had already realized that the next priority was to manage Jiangnan well. Once Jiangnan is managed well, there is sufficient money and food, convenient transportation, and no shortage of personnel, it can be used as a foundation to clean up the world.
That's why Liu Yuande, who has a high position and a heavy responsibility, moved here from southern Xinjiang, in order to handle Jiangnan affairs nearby and guard here by the way. Every day, official documents from various places under the rebel army are sent here, and after approval and other processing, they are sent out.
So Liu Yuande is so busy every day that he flies up.
Although he has a good vision and discovered a lot of talents to share the work, there are still many things that need to be decided by him.
In addition, this is called the front camp, the main reason is that there are troops stationed here.
The vanguard army led by Yu Qingling is resting here. In the previous several battles to attack Jiangnan, the vanguard army, as usual, made great contributions. However, although the vanguard did not suffer any major losses during this process, the soldiers were too tired physically and mentally from running around and needed a period of rest.
Because of this, she and Liu Yuande were in the same place, so the two of them received the letter sent by Fang Chang immediately, read it together and replied, and sent an invitation to Fang Chang.
The rebel army chose to build the front battalion outside the city, and did not enter the city, and used very strict military discipline to limit the number of soldiers entering the city, to prevent conflicts and other things, and to avoid disturbing the people. The people Fang Chang met when he asked for directions all praised him.
"Please stop!"
The rebel soldiers standing guard with spears in their hands at the gate of the front camp saw the man in white coming on the road ahead, and said loudly.
The soldiers saw Fang Chang stopped a dozen steps away, and then continued:
"The military barracks is an important place. Without permission, you are not allowed to enter. Please show the pass warrant."
Fang Chang bowed and said:
"I am a friend of Yu Qingling and Liu Yuande. I came to visit today at the previous invitation. I also asked this strong man to pass it on for me. I said that the old man Fang Chang came to see me."
The soldier on guard shook his head and said, "It turned out that they were looking for Prime Minister Liu and Marshal Yu. I can't pass it on. I'm on a mission, so I can't leave—I'll find someone to pass it on to you. You can only enter after you get permission to verify your identity."
After finishing speaking, he yelled towards a small shed nearby, where there were two bookish soldiers on duty. After hearing the yelling, he came over, checked with the two soldiers on guard, and asked Fang Chang a few more words, asking for more After receiving the token, he said "wait a moment" before turning around and walking into the camp.
The behavior of the rebels seems to be very regular.
Fang Chang nodded, stepped aside to open the main entrance of the barracks, and waited not far away.
The front battalion was built very solidly, with wooden fences, horse barriers, and trenches as the outer walls, and it seemed that some barbed wire was sprinkled there. There is no suspension bridge in front of the camp gate, but there is only a narrow road to enter, and horses are used to restrict the road into a curved shape to prevent outside attacks from directly entering the camp.
Because of his extraordinary hearing, he could hear all the movements in the barracks.
I only heard that the person who went to pass the message passed two checkpoints before passing the message to another guard. The latter went straight into the center of the camp and found Liu Yuande who was working and who was standing next to Liu Yuande. Sitting Yu Qingling said:
"Prime Minister Liu and Marshal Yu, there was a man outside the camp gate who called himself Fang Chang. He said he was an old friend of the Prime Minister and the Marshal. Know."
"Haha! Mr. Fang is here." Yu Qingling laughed happily, and said to Liu Yuande who put down his pen next to him, "Shall we go together?"
"Of course." Liu Yuande said with a smile, "Mr. Fang is here, we will naturally go to meet him."
After finishing speaking, he hurriedly drew a few strokes on the official document in front of him, and after finishing processing, he dropped the pen in his hand, got up and walked in front of the passer-by: "Thank you, passer-by, we will go to greet you, this token is with me, you continue to work on the original Things will be fine."
"Yes." The messenger withdrew, and then Yu Qingling quickly arranged soldiers and performed a simple ceremony.
Liu Yuande looked at the sheathless knife made of white jade in his hand, and smiled to Yu Qingling next to him: "Yes, this is exactly the fairy soldier who saved us several times back then. I will not admit the wrong shape. Let's go Don't let Mr. Fang wait too long outside the door."
Fang Chang waited outside the door for half a cup of tea, but he had already heard about the situation inside. When Yu Qingling and Liu Yuande came over hand in hand, he stood in the middle of the circuit a little earlier, which confused the gatekeepers for a moment.
But immediately, the refusal horses and other objects at the main entrance were moved aside, and the middle door of the front camp was opened.
Two figures came out first, one was beautiful and vigorous, and the other was handsome and elegant. They were the two protagonists of the catastrophe, Yu Qingling and Liu Yuande. They walked forward quickly, saluted and said:
"Long time no see, Mr. Fang is still handsome."
Fang Chang also smiled and said: "You two are indeed extraordinary people, and you have done a great job during this time."
Liu Yuande was sincere with humility mixed in. He shook his head and said, "It's not worth mentioning. It's just to save the people in this world from suffering. I don't know when the current chaos will come to an end."
Yu Qingling was at the side, lightly poked Liu Yuande's waist, and said in a crisp voice: "We don't want to chat here for too long, Mr. Fang, please come to the camp to talk."
The three of them walked into the camp together.
Fang Chang walked in the middle, Yu Qingling and Liu Yuande accompanied on both sides to explain. The soldiers and officials nearby, seeing that it was Prime Minister Liu and Marshal Yu, saluted one after another, and guessed who was welcomed by them, which made the two chiefs so respectful.
In front of the main tent door, there are still soldiers lined up in two neat rows to greet them, just like the opening of the middle door before, with a sense of ceremony.
"Haha, I'm just a casual person in the countryside, it's not worth it, it's not worth it." Fang Chang laughed, but he was still led into the account by the two.
The furnishings inside are simple, and the most eye-catching thing is the mountain of official documents on the front desk. It seems that this is where Liu Yuande works. The chairs and chairs here are complete, after all, visitors are often seen here, so a sergeant next to him offered tea and retreated, and the three of them chatted among themselves.
"I didn't expect you to occupy Jiangnan in a short time." Fang Chang said.
"We didn't expect it at the beginning, but they are too vulnerable compared to the rebels. And it's also good, as long as we march fast enough, those army leaders will not have much time to abuse the people." Yu Qingling said, she went to war Sifang really has the confidence to say so.
