Chapter 228 Nothing more than that
Ning Yi asked Zeng Zhizhong to take him to find Fang Weihong.
Fang Weihong is now imprisoned in a prison in the mountains.
Looking through the railings, Fang Weihong, the once high-spirited and domineering young master of the Fang family, was someone few in the entire Dawu Kingdom were willing to offend.
Now my whole body is dirty and my hair is messy.
When the door opened, a man in a python robe walked in through the railings.
Fang Weihong looked up at him, his lifeless eyes immediately filled with anger. He grabbed the railing and shouted, "You must be the Sixth Prince, right? What are you doing here, you despicable fellow? Is this Young Master's time limit up?"
Fang Weihong's evaluation of the Sixth Prince was that he was despicable and shameless. He bribed the garrison of Hushan Pass and then attacked the Duke Dingguo's Mansion in the middle of the night. He also knew that his father was also captured by this guy through conspiracy and trickery.
Qin Haifeng, who was protecting him, immediately shouted angrily, "How dare you, a traitor, speak to His Highness in such a way?"
"Hahahaha." Fang Weihong threatened without a care in the world. "This young master may be a traitor, but he has also fought for your Wu family for so many years. My father fought for your old emperor in many battles, and your old emperor actually wants my father to move to the capital and enjoy his old age. To put it nicely, it's retirement care, but to put it bluntly, it's just to strip him of his military power. You, the Wu family, are so reckless."
Ning Yi looked at Fang Weihong angrily scolding the old emperor.
Of course he knew that the reason Fang Chengyu rebelled was because Emperor Wu wanted him to return to the capital to retire.
As a veteran who had guarded Hushan Pass for many years and had spent many years in the military, how could he be willing to give up his military power and return to the capital to become a useless person who could only rely on others' wishes to do things?
For this reason, Fang Chengyu delayed in various ways, and happened to meet the barbarians who came to him, promising that they could unite and deal with the old emperor.
In addition, the Fourth Prince also came to him and said that as long as Fang Chengyu could support the Fourth Prince, he could be crowned the king of the opposite sex.
Fang Chengyu began to expand his direct lineage quickly and secretly, preparing to give it a try.
But no one expected that the Fourth Prince would be so impatient and rebel ahead of time, and Fang Chengyu had not received the news yet.
In fact, the news was taken away by Ning Yi's men on the road.
When Fang Chengyu received the news, the Fourth Prince was already dead.
Fang Chengyu was also frightened for a long time at that time, fearing that the old emperor would find out that he had private contact with the Fourth Prince.
Otherwise, given the old emperor's character, he would have to wipe out the Fang family.
Finally, when the Fourth Prince's incident was over, the old emperor hadn't found any involvement of the Fang family.
While Fang Chengyu breathed a sigh of relief, he became even more eager to prepare, as he had to have the ability to protect himself.
Moreover, the barbarians contacted King Huai, who was extremely dissatisfied with the old emperor and held a grudge against him.
Fang Chengyu was able to contact King Huai again, and thus Fang Chengyu's rebellious heart became active again.
Moreover, the barbarians really moved south, and hundreds of thousands of troops continued to attack the border. Several cities were captured, and the border was on the verge of being lost.
The elite troops in the capital were constantly being withdrawn. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to rebel immediately. With King Huai in the north and King Huai in the west, if one of them succeeded in breaking through the capital, great things could be expected.
But unexpectedly, Fang Chengyu, who had spent his whole life in military service, met with a setback and was dealt with by the Sixth Prince who had been prepared for it.
He was just an arrogant and domineering prince whom the Fang family had never taken seriously. How could they be willing to accept this?
Ning Yi looked at him calmly: "Fang Weihong, is this the reason for your rebellion?"
"This prince defeated your Fang family army and eradicated the Fang family. Are you very dissatisfied?"
"Of course." Fang Weihong glanced at him with serious disdain. "Everyone in the world knows that you, the Sixth Prince, are completely incompetent. If you are capable of a fair and just fight, our army will easily destroy you."
"Hehe." Ning Yi shook his head slightly.
Fang Weihong said angrily: "What are you laughing at? What else do you have besides conspiracy and trickery?"
Ning Yi put away his smile and said coldly: "Fang Weihong, you said that this prince was scheming, but didn't your Fang family take advantage of the weak military in the capital to rebel?"
"If you have the guts, how dare you raise an army when there's nothing happening in the capital? I'll scare you to death."
Fang Weihong snorted coldly and ignored it.
When the capital was at peace, there were at least more than 100,000 elite soldiers, and other miscellaneous soldiers, which added up to 200,000.
With so many soldiers and horses, even if the Fang family army worked themselves to death, they would still not be able to capture the capital.
Ning Yi sneered again, "Do you really think that this prince can defeat the Fang family army by relying on conspiracy and trickery alone, leading a group of scumbags from the Beijing camp?"
"Isn't it?" Fang Weihong was very unconvinced: "If it is done uprightly..."
"Okay." Ning Yi said, "This prince will give you a fair explanation."
"Do you still remember how the Duke Dingguo's Mansion was breached?"
Fang Weihong was stunned. He would certainly not forget that night when he personally went to the city wall to command the battle.
But then he said: "Isn't it just using some strange and ingenious techniques, if..."
"If what?" Ning Yi said calmly, "If it's fair and just?"
"Do you really think your Fang family army is invincible?"
"You know, the troops attacking your Dingguo Mansion were less than 2,000, while your garrison numbered a full 3,000, not counting the numerous guards."
"This is still a siege." Ning Yi sneered: "If it were during the day, and the two armies were fighting on flat ground, this prince would be enough to make your Fang family army cry so terribly that they would not even be able to find their graves."
"Also, the 8,000 cavalrymen of the once-arrogant Fang family army were completely annihilated by my less than 6,000 infantrymen. What else can you be so proud of?"
Fang Weihong knew about it of course. Even though he was captured, he was escorted all the way here. When he arrived here, he met the cavalry soldiers of the Fang family army who were sent here one after another.
But what shocked Fang Weihong was how the Fang family army, which was quite confident, was captured.
Not only was he frustrated, but Qin Haifeng also murmured beside him, "Your father, Fang Chengyu, led the remaining 20,000 Fang family soldiers, but was surrounded by Your Highness's 20,000 troops and captured. Not even one of your father's 3,000 most elite cavalry guards could escape. The Fang family army is nothing but this."
"Shut up." Fang Weihong yelled at him.
The Fang family army has always been a source of pride for him since he was a child, so naturally he would not allow others to speak nonsense like that.
"That's the truth, Fang Weihong. You think you are invincible Fang family army, but you are no match for the elite troops trained by this prince himself." Ning Yi's words were enough to kill him.
Ning Yi wanted to strike down his arrogance, let him know that the Fang family army was nothing special, and let him know that he had nothing to be dissatisfied with. Only in this way could he talk to him formally.
Fang Weihong didn't want to talk about this. He really had nothing to say. The Fang family army was defeated.
They were not defeated by the miscellaneous soldiers from the Beijing Camp, nor were they defeated by the Imperial Guards. Instead, they were defeated by the Sixth Prince, who was not taken seriously by anyone, and the so-called new army he personally trained.
"Why are you saying all this in front of me? Are you trying to show off or to insult me?" Fang Weihong said coldly.
"You can kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you." Fang Weihong already knew he was going to die: "Stop talking so much nonsense, this young master is too lazy to listen, and doesn't want to listen."
