Being a Lady of an Influential Family: 516, the eve of westbound
Amid the mountains of the southwest, summer temperatures make the southern jungle even more sweltering.
Fu Fengcheng stood on the hillside with a solemn expression and looked into the distance, wondering what he was thinking about. All he could see was a vast green.
"Brother Fu!" Yue Li hurriedly approached him from behind, sweating profusely, obviously because he was in a hurry.
Fu Fengcheng came back to his senses and turned to look at Yue Li, "Brother Yue, what happened?"
Yue Li looked solemn and said solemnly, "The Northwest Army was defeated."
Young Master Fu couldn't help but stunned when he heard the words, "The Northwest Army is defeated?" There will be a winner on the battlefield, but Fu Fengcheng thought that with Song Ye and Song Lang there, it wouldn't be a big defeat, at least not. As for losing so quickly. His eyes sank slightly, and he said, "What happened?"
Yue Li sighed and handed the telegram in his hand to him, "Brother Fu, see for yourself."
Fu Fengcheng took it over and glanced at it ten lines at a time. The chill in his eyes became more and more condensed, and he raised his feet and walked behind.
Yue Li was stunned for a while, then shook his head helplessly and quickly followed.
In the simple marching tent, Fu Fengcheng, Yueli and Shen Sinian each occupy a corner next to a large table. In front of the three of them was a telegram that had just been received not long ago. Although the sources of the news were different, the content was similar.
Shen Sinian looked at the telegram in front of him and was a little worried, "It's too coincidental." The Nile people lost the battle in the southwest. This news can be shared by the Nile people and the few people who know the inside story. do not know yet. Seeing that the situation in the southwest was good, something suddenly happened in the northwest, and Shen Sinian didn't know whether it was a coincidence of their bad luck or some unknown secret.
Fu Fengcheng said calmly, "Da Yin currently has more than 500,000 soldiers and horses on the border, and the top commander is Da Yin Army's five-star general Tetsuya. At present... Da Yin's soldiers and horses near the northwest include three A-types. Legion and two B-type legions. A five-star general and eight lieutenant generals and above." As for the next, I am too lazy to say.
Yue Li and Shen Sinian were both silent for a while, before they said, "The people of Dayin have come prepared, and it is almost considered that they have done their best." However, Da Yin itself has a vast territory, and there are disputes with several countries in the west. It is definitely not a joke to be able to mobilize 500,000 troops and horses to invade the northwest at this time.
Similarly, it is almost impossible for the other side to make this battle, and it is almost impossible to negotiate peace.
Fu Fengcheng was unmoved and said calmly, "Naturally, he came prepared, otherwise why would it be so good for Niro and those small countries in the Western Regions to join in the fun at this time?" No one, including Da Yinzai, was An Xia's opponent. As the saying goes, more ants kill elephants, but if they can’t beat them one-on-one, it’s hard to say if these countries are linked together.
Yue Li was a little annoyed, "These people are secretly forming alliances, and we don't even know about it. I really don't know what those people in Beijing are doing!"
Neither Shen Sinian nor Fu Fengcheng spoke. Not only did the capital not know about it, but they also ignored it.
Or they all considered that Sun Liang would hook up with those people, but they were thought to be able to do it and pull up such a big battle. After all, everyone knows that each country has its own interests, and it is not easy to form an alliance without external pressure.
It's just... it seems that they all underestimated the attractiveness of Anxia to these countries.
Although Anxia has not reached the point of war in the past two years, it can be seen from the assassination of Fu Fengcheng, the cleaning of Yongcheng's intelligence network by the Fu family, and the turmoil in the capital last year. It is indeed quite chaotic. I'm afraid these people also want to take advantage of this opportunity to tear a piece of meat from An Xia to eat.
Shen Sinian sighed and looked at Fu Fengcheng and asked, "Brother Fu, what should we do?" What should we do means, should we continue to entangle with the Nile people, or support the northwest first.
The Song family is in big trouble now, and they definitely can't resist Da Yin by themselves. On the contrary, on their side, if they just want to maintain the situation, leaving some troops and horses to delay time with the Nile people, they can mobilize a certain amount of troops to support the northwest. Most importantly, several telegrams from the northwest mentioned that Song Lang's whereabouts were unknown. If Master Fu could go to the northwest, it would be of great help to the war.
Fu Fengcheng shook his head and said, "No, we will continue to fight."
Yue Li and Shen Sinian looked at each other, Yue Li wanted to say something, Fu Fengcheng said, "Long Yue and Lou Lanzhou are in Jiazhou. We must solve the Nile people as soon as possible. If threatened, we will immediately withdraw from the northwest. Besides... General Yao has already taken the second army to cut the Nile's back road, if we withdraw at this time, it will be equivalent to leaving him surrounded by the Nile."
Shen Sinian took a deep breath and asked, "Is it too late?"
Fu Fengcheng glanced at the two of them and said solemnly, "I believe in Long Yue and Lou Lanzhou."
Shen Sinian stood up and said solemnly, "Okay! The old part of the Shen family is almost assembled. Although there are not many people, they can help a little. Let's finish the affairs of the southwest first, Ni. If Luo people dare to come in, don't even think about going out!"
The sign of the bad situation in the northwest was very obvious, and soon many foreigners appeared in the city of Jiazhou. The appearance and clothes of these people can tell at a glance that they are from the northwest. Obviously, some people who are quick to perceive the danger in the northwest have fled to Jiazhou to take refuge.
It is said that some people went directly to the capital or the six southern provinces.
Because of the appearance of these people and the fact that over the past few days the major newspapers have been publishing the news about the Fu and Long Dujuns in the capital, the atmosphere that had just eased up in Jiazhou became tense again. Panic is easily contagious, and even wealthy businessmen in Jiazhou City began to plan to migrate to the southeast, lest the war would burn to Jiazhou at some point.
"Sa Sa!" Leng Sa just came out of the Jiazhou business meeting when he heard a familiar female voice behind him.
When I looked back, I saw Song Xuan, An, Lucy and Bai Xi standing across the street waving at him, and Yu Xinyou and Liang Rao were standing with them.
Leng Sa was startled, walked over quickly and asked, "Why are you here?"
Bai Xi smiled, "We have already arrived in Jiazhou, we are here to help."
Leng Sa raised her eyebrows slightly to look at Song Xuan, Song Xuan smiled and nodded and said, "Really, Xiaoxiao came to Jiazhou with Uncle and Aunt An earlier, the medical team still needs a lot of nurses, isn't the school almost closed? We signed up together. We have been helping in other places before, and we just arrived in Jiazhou City today.”
Leng Sa was really surprised. So they should have come to Jiazhou with Lao Hua's group. It's been quite a while.
Reach out and touch Bai Xi's cheeks, which were tanned by the sun, and look at Yu Xinyou coldly, "Xinyou, you are not in good health, why..."
Yu Xinyou smiled and said, "Arao and I only arrived in Jiazhou yesterday, but we met Axuan and the others before we could go to the Governor's Mansion to find you."
"Arao..." The last time I met Liang Rao was more than two years ago. Liang Rao looked a lot calmer and thinner, as if he had suddenly grown into a real adult.
Although we haven't seen each other for two years, Leng Sa and Liang Rao communicated a lot because of Jingshu's affairs in Jiazhou.
Sighed lightly, and said coldly, "You came back to see Governor Liang and his wife. We buried the two in the Liang family's cemetery, and I'll accompany you to take a look later."
Liang Rao's eyes were a little red, she stepped forward and hugged Leng Sa in a low voice, "Sa Sa, thank you."
Although many people secretly said that the disappearance of the Liang family allowed the Fu family to take advantage of it, Liang Rao had no prejudice against the Fu family, and was even grateful. If it wasn't for Sun Wei and Fu's family to protect her and help her find her younger brother and send them to Yongcheng, I'm afraid that the Liang family would really be gone now.
After arriving in Yongcheng, Dujun Fu didn't say something nice but useless to her, but simply explained to her the current situation and what the Fu family could do for their sister and brother. The Fu family saved them and even returned all of their father's inheritance to them because Dujun Fu was thinking about his friendship with his father, and it was not a matter of course. Even if Dujun Fu didn't give them anything or even completely ignored them, what could others do except say a few words of sympathy?
Leng Sa shook her head and patted her vest lightly, "My condolences, Governor Liang and his wife must also wish you two brothers and sisters a good life."
Yu Xinyou supported Liang Rao and said, "Okay, Rao, let's talk in another place. There are too many people on the street and it's too noisy."
Liang Rao didn't want to go back to the Overseer's Mansion. She and Yu Xinyou lived in a nearby hotel. It happened that Song Xuan and others were staying nearby, so Leng Sa followed them after explaining a few words and followed them. Went to the hotel.
Liang Rao didn't just come back to pay homage to Governor Liang and his wife. Because of the previous military disaster in Jiazhou, there was a severe shortage of official manpower at all levels. Liang Rao and Yu Xinyou were recruited to help.
Twenty or thirty young men and women of the same age were with them. These people were senior students of several universities in Yongcheng. At this time, they applied for temporary help during the school holiday. resumes.
Song Xuan was also very interested. If she hadn't come to Jiazhou with An Lucy and Bai Xi first, 80% of them would have joined Yu Xinyou and the others.
Leng Sa also agrees with this. Jiazhou is really short of manpower right now. Although these young people have not yet graduated, most of them can't do important jobs, but many basic departments are really lacking people. There are not many local schools in Jiazhou, and it is not easy to recruit people. These students are at least much quicker to learn than those who have not gone through formal studies, especially in some areas of specialization.
An Luxi still wants to go back to Yongcheng's medical team to help and study, and Bai Xi is more interested in helping to take care of the patients and the wounded than doing errands in the official department. So in the end, the two still returned to the medical team, while Song Xuan stayed behind with Yu Xinyou and Liang Rao to help the official institutions in Jiazhou.
Although it's an old acquaintance from a foreign land, everyone has their own issues, so Leng Sa could only chat with everyone briefly for a while and then got up and went back to the Overseer's Mansion after understanding the situation.
Looking at her back in a hurry, Bai Xi held her small face and couldn't help but said, "I feel that Sa Sa has changed a lot compared to when she was in school."
Ann Lucy nodded in agreement.
Liang Rao was a little curious, "Isn't Sa Sa like this in school?" In Liang Rao's impression, Leng Sa has always been a very powerful person. Although she also felt that the goodbye Sa Sa was more vigorous than two years ago, this is also normal. Sa Sa has done a lot of great things in the past two years.
Bai Xi sighed, "I think back then, the demure, elegant and beautiful Sa Sa was the light of our liberal arts college." Good-looking, well-educated, young, and from a scholarly family, although Sa Sa has always been very low-key, it is true It is the light of the academy in the eyes of all the sisters of the Faculty of Arts.
Yu Xinyou said with a smile, "Sasha is also very good now." She couldn't imagine what Bai Xi's demure and elegant Leng Sa looked like.
Song Xuan stretched out her hand and patted Bai Xi's head, "You should be close to Zhu Zhechi, Sa Sa is now hanging out with Young Master Fu. You didn't see the news a few days ago, Sa Sa is with Young Master Long. Your dean will definitely be proud of Sa Sa's den for a horse bandit that has been entrenched in Jiazhou for more than ten years."
"Yes." Bai Xi nodded, then shook his head again, "Zhenzhu is red? Is it black who is close to ink? Fu Shaodu has broken Sasha, and our dean will cry. And I think Sa Sa is so hard." She has only been in Jiazhou for less than a month, and she feels exhausted every day, and Sa Sa has to do more things than her.
Several other people exchanged glances with each other and thought to themselves: I'm afraid you are the only one who thinks that Sa Sa is not black at all, is it being blacked by someone?
"Even though it's hard work, what Sa Sa is doing now is more meaningful than sitting in the study all day." Yu Xinyou said.
It's not that there is anything wrong with being a talented girl, but Leng Sa can obviously do more things than being a talented girl, and she obviously prefers these things herself.
Ms. Yu felt that, anyway, she didn't quite see Mrs. Fu Shao's talent for becoming a generation of talented women.
Bai Xi nodded and said, "Xinyou is right, we have to work hard to do more meaningful things! Let's work together!"
The others all looked at each other and smiled. Among them, only the young lady of the Bai family was the most carefree.
In fact, this is also very good, very happy.
Leng Sa returned to the Overseer's mansion, and there was an uninvited guest in the Overseer's mansion.
Leng Sa raised her eyebrows somewhat unexpectedly, looking at Zhang Jingzhi who was sitting in the hall drinking tea with Lou Lanzhou, "Young Master Zhang? Why did you come to Jiazhou?"
Zhang Jingzhi smiled, "Also? Who else is here?"
Leng Sa recounted the encounter with Song Xuan and others, Zhang Jingzhi said, "Huizhi went back to the capital to visit his father, or I'm afraid he will come too, these little girls... are not small."
Lou Lanzhou was a little curious while drinking tea, "Miss Song is here too?"
"..." Leng Sa couldn't help but raised his hand and patted his forehead, "Does General Song still know that A Xuan has come to Jiazhou?" I hadn't heard Song Bo'ang mention it before, Leng Sa was afraid that Song Bo'ang himself I don't know that my daughter came to Jiazhou.
She even forgot to ask Song Xuan to come over to meet Song Bo'ang. It seemed that she was really busy and confused. But it wasn't a big deal, so I turned around and told Song Boang that it was convenient for Ah Xuan to meet the father and daughter in Jiazhou City.
"Why did you come to Jiazhou?" Leng Sa sat down and asked Zhang Jingzhi.
Zhang Jingzhi said with a smile, "Commander Fu has already left for Yongcheng. Before leaving the capital, the commander sent a letter to me. The capital has agreed to send troops from the four northern provinces to support the northwest. Commander Fu hopes that I can come and help coordinate the logistics of military supplies. problem.”
Leng Sa suddenly realized, "The Overseer said earlier that he would send someone over to help, but it turned out that he was looking for you."
Zhang Jingzhi said with a smile, "That's right, I get a salary to do two points of work. When you look back, young lady, remember to give out more bonuses."
Leng Sa was speechless, "Does Zhang Shao still need me to give out bonuses?" Leng Sa and Fu Fengcheng are not stingy people. Most of the Fu Group's early construction was contributed by Zhang Jingzhi, and Leng Sa didn't treat him badly and directly gave it to him. many shares.
Lou Lanzhou looked at Zhang Jingzhi with some surprise, and felt that Zhang Jingzhi seemed to have changed a lot when he was in the capital. But now is not the time to talk about this, Lou Lanzhou directly brought the topic back to the right track, saying: "We have received the order from the military, the two military units, plus the two newly created troops in Jiazhou, will be ready soon. Set off for the northwest. Later, the four northern provinces will also send three troops to the northwest, and I am afraid that the logistics will really tire Brother Zhang.”
This is not an easy task, and the troops, weapons and logistics are different in several aspects. The sources of logistics and military supplies are also different. If the front line is messed up, there will be major problems.
Keeping the entire logistics smooth and worry-free is no easier than winning a big battle.
Zhang Jingzhi was not polite, and smiled at Lou Lanzhou, "Brother Lou went to the Northwest in person is the real hard work, and Zhang just followed behind to fight, it's all a matter of duty." He glanced at Leng Sa again. , frowned and said, "Listen to what Young Master Lou means, Young Madam is going to the northwest too?"
Leng Sa nodded and said, "I was a little worried at first, but now that Young Master Zhang is here in Jiazhou, I am relieved. When the reinforcements are ready, Young Master Lou will take the reinforcements directly to the northwest. I will not go with Young Master Lou, I will Go to the Northwest alone."
Zhang Jingzhi somewhat understands what Leng Sa is better at, but is a little worried, "Do Master Fu and Governor Fu know?"
Leng Sa said with a smile, "Don't worry, Young Master Zhang, I won't sneak away. Naturally, I have reported to the Overseer."
Zhang Jingzhi nodded and relieved, he didn't want to wait for Master Fu to come back and kill him.
