Three hundred and ninetieth chapters multi-pronged approach

Let’s talk about Fang Kong’s oil and salt that he did not bring in, and he refused to bow to Jingzhou when he died. Li Mingchen had no choice but to say goodbye and leave.

As soon as he left the door, Li Mingchen immediately changed his face, which was terrifyingly gloomy.

He was so incredible that he had to let Jingzhou take action. He thought to himself, called a confidant, gave a few instructions, and then left where Fang Kongzhai was staying.

After Li Mingchen left, Fang Kongzhang was irritable and walked around the house.

The bandits were almost active under Hanyang City, and the situation in Jingzhou Army, which had ulterior motives, would only get worse and worse. If Fang Kongzhang was not nervous, it would be impossible.

Since Fang Kongzhang took office as the governor of Huguang, the most annoying thing was that his power was occupied by Lin Chunhong. If he wanted to do anything in Huguang, he had to nod. All of this was fine. After all, Zhu Youjian was quite real. He knew that only one governor could not fight against Jingzhou. He only hinted that he paid taxes on time and in accordance with the quantity, so that the bandits would not rage within the territory, and did not ask about anything else.

What worried Fang Kongxu the most was his son Fang Yizhi. Fang Yizhi had long had close contacts with Jingzhou, and he was even more reluctant to leave Zhijiang Xingzhishu Hall and was reluctant to leave. Four years ago, Fang Kongxu forcibly recruited Fang Yizhi to the capital in order to put aside the suspicion of connecting with local warlords.

However, since he came to Wuchang as governor, Fang Yizhi also came to Wuchang. Even if Fang Yizhi did not go to Jingzhou, he could not stop waves of scholars from coming to discuss the Tao with Fang Yizhi. After a while, Fang Yizhi fell deeper and deeper, and could hardly extricate himself.

Fang Yizhi even advised Fang Kongzhang. Instead of being frightened as a governor, he might as well serve in Jingzhou directly.

The son made such a rebellious remark, which made Fang Kongxu grit his teeth in anger, but he was helpless. As a father, he could not lock his son in the house and see no one.

Fang Kongqi thought secretly that Jingzhou is becoming more and more powerful, and will inevitably extend his hands to the court. Now Jingzhou will not be able to cultivate people who are enough to hold a high position in the court for a while, so finding a spokesperson outside the system will become the most convenient choice.

Moreover, Fang Kongzhao also knew that Jingzhou had secretly contacted Chen Qiyu from Shanxi. As for whether Chen Qiyu agreed, it is unknown.

In fact, both Zhang Daohan and Zhu Zhiyu had personally come to Wuchang to hint that Jingzhou was interested in supporting him to return to the capital to serve. This hint had made him feel moved and hesitated until now.

Fang Kongzhang was not a nerd who was obsessed with books. He not only had a lot of political affairs, but also had a deep study of the "Book of Changes", as well as works such as "The Times of the Zhou Yi" and "The Complete Border Records". As a Jinshi, he was the right-level supervisor and governor of Huguang. He had an instinctive resistance to Lin Chunhong, who was born in a military general.

Although he couldn't pass the hurdle in his heart, he didn't mind cooperating with Lin Chunhong. After all, Lin Chunhong managed Jingzhou and Xiangyang with a wealth of achievements, and he could not ignore it. Moreover, for two years as the governor of Huguang, he has been observing Jingzhou up close and has a deep understanding of Lin Chunhong's strength. Sometimes he even thinks: With Lin Chunhong's strength, even if he openly rebels, the court cannot suppress it.

Moreover, Fang Kongxu realized clearly that Lin Chunhong wanted to enter Wuchang and Hanyang, and even if he tried his best, he could not stop him.

Should we please bring the Jingzhou army into the city or try our best to stop it? Fang Kongzhang was unsure of his mind...

On the second day, before Fang Kongzhao got up, he suddenly heard a noise outside. Fang Kongzhao was furious and was about to scold him. Suddenly, a servant came in from outside. He reported in anger: "Master, something is not good. Hundreds of people surrounded the residence and said they wanted to petition, but we couldn't stop it..."

When Fang Kongxiao heard this, he was suspicious and asked, "What wish do you want?"

The servant lay on the ground, not daring to raise his head, and said, "It's all Wuchang and Hanyang merchants. They say Wuchang and Hanyang are in danger. I hope the master will recall Yang Shien immediately and station heavy troops to protect the safety of the two cities."

When Fang Kongxiao heard this, he became even more angry and cursed: "Rebel, rebel! Before the bandits arrived, the city became in chaos! How can the master dispatch troops and generals still need these lowly merchants to teach you?"

"Fang Fu, lead people to disperse the crowd immediately!"

After receiving the order, Fang Fu immediately took advantage of the situation and rushed to the merchants outside the door. Unexpectedly, in just half a quarter of an hour, Fang Fu covered his head and ran in. He was obviously injured at the corner of his eyes and was still bleeding.

"Master, these merchants are extremely powerful, we are no match for them..."

Needless to ask, these so-called merchants were either Li Mingchen's attack or Jingzhou's fault. Now that the merchants blocked his residence, it was equivalent to putting Fang Kongxu under house arrest, almost to the point where he forced him to express his opinion.

Fang Kongzhang was not angry and shouted sternly: "Wordless things, go, even if the master goes out together! The master wants to see if this merchant has eaten the bear heart or the leopard courage!"

Fang Kongxu was not afraid. Fang Fu and other servants were encouraged by him, wiped the blood from their heads and followed Fang Kongxu with a strong aura.

Outside, the dark crowd almost blocked the streets, making them noisy and intimidating. Fang Kongxu felt a headache when he saw it, but at this point, he had to bite the bullet and use all his strength to shout sternly: "What should you blame for openly besieging the imperial officials!"

The crowd was startled by Fang Kongxu's roar, and immediately calmed down and stared at Fang Kongxu. Seeing that he was scared by the crowd, Fang Kongxu was unyielding and refused to forgive him, he continued to yell: "You are all good people, disperse quickly. If you stay here again, you will immediately arrest people and send them to prison, and severely punish them!"

In the crowd, a handsome young man came out and said loudly: "Governor, the bandits are close at hand. We are not besieging you, but just want to know where the soldiers guarding the city are and whether the court has plans to defend the city."

"The court has its own decision, how can you let your words be? Disperse quickly!"

"Our wife and children are still in the city. We only hope that the governor will give you a clear word: whether the city can be defended or not. If it cannot be defended, we will make plans and prepare to escape!"

The crowd suddenly burst into flames and said, "That's right, let's say something, so we can avoid military disasters!"

"Dog official, we provide for our daily life, but now we turn against each other!"

"His wife and children are not in the city..."

...

The crowd became more and more angry, the situation became more and more uncontrollable, and Fang Kongwu was so angry that his face turned green. At this moment, he was lying on the street and shouting "report...", obviously there was an emergency military situation.

I don’t know who yelled: “There is military information! It must be the bandits who have come to the edge of the city, let’s take a look!”

When someone stood up, the crowd naturally started to make a fuss. Several strong men approached the horse to pull the soldiers off the horse, snatched the wax balls, and handed them to the handsome young man.

Fang Kongzhang was so angry that he almost fainted. Before he could stop him, he saw the young man dismantling the wax balls and chanting loudly: "Yang Shien was defeated in Qijiawan, and is leading the remaining troops to approach Hanyang..."

The crowd was in chaos and shouted: "Escape quickly, escape quickly, the bandits are coming, the officers and soldiers are defeated..."

Fang Kongxiao bit his lips tightly, almost biting it. Finally, he sighed and said with a gray face: "Forget it, forgot... it's better to go back with your crown..."
