Invincible son

Nancheng, Dingkangfang.

This is a place where fish and dragons are mixed, and even the officials of Kyoto Prefecture will frown when they come here.

In an ordinary private house, a young man in his twenties was leaning over the case, carefully flipping through a thick stack of files.

About half an hour later, a subordinate walked into the room and said respectfully, "Master, there is a message from over there."

The young man said without raising his head, "Say."

The subordinate continued: "According to the young master's instructions, our people paid 50 taels of silver to buy the shopkeeper of the Xiangyun branch, and asked him to hand over the jade pendant to Lin's daughter's personal maid under the guise of a member of the Lin clan. However, the other party There seemed to be no response, and he didn't bother with the shopkeeper, and he didn't put eyeliner around."

The young man quietly looked at the words on the file, and said with a half-smile, "It's unexpected that Lin Qi can raise such a calm daughter."

He is Wang Chongyun, a descendant of the Dongshan Wang family of the Western Wu Dynasty. With the help of the meticulous work of the Western Wu Dynasty in the western region of Daliang for decades, he transformed himself into a family member of Dingning Prefecture in Lingzhou, changed his name and surname, and came to Kyoto.

The subordinate thought it over and said: "Master, if the daughter of the Lin family ignores this, or immediately informs Pei Yue of the matter, I am afraid that His Royal Highness King Ning's plan will not be implemented."

Before leaving Anyang City, Ning Wang Gaocheng repeatedly told Wang Chongyun to find a way to control Lin Shuyue first, and then lure Pei Yue into being fooled.As long as Pei Yue can be killed in Liang Guo's capital, it will be very difficult for Emperor Liang who has just ascended the throne not long ago to control the stability of the court, and it may be possible to stir up civil strife in Liang Guo's army.

After all, the impact of Wang Pingzhang's execution is still in the making. If something happens to Pei Yue and Gu Liang, Xiao Jin alone will definitely not be able to stabilize the morale of millions of troops.

Wang Chongyun chuckled, and said with a slight sarcasm: "If Gao Cheng is not a mediocre person who is strong outside but capable in the middle, how can His Majesty rest assured that he will lead the Metropolitan Council. Although important military affairs have been decided by His Majesty and the generals of the four directions these years, Gao Cheng has always been indifferent. Clearing up the situation, I thought that I was really under one person and above ten thousand people. This time I came to the capital of Liang Kingdom, if I acted according to his stupid way, it would be fine for us to die in another country. It is the greatest sin to live up to His Majesty's expectations. "

The subordinate automatically ignored his taunting of the dignified prince, and asked knowingly: "Young master, you mean that we have to change the plan again?"

Wang Chongyun pondered and said: "If the capital of Liang Guo is not chaotic, the frontier army will be as stable as a mountain. Although His Majesty has sent people to Zhou Guo to discuss the matter of joining forces, and there will be no rejection there, but he wants to shake Liang Guo on the battlefield. With more than [-] frontier troops, it is still an extremely difficult matter. In my opinion, this matter needs a long-term plan. The Lin family will wait and see what happens. After a while, let the Lin family write a letter. According to today's The method is given to her."

He put down the file and said calmly: "Judging from the information collected by Erlang of the Metropolitan Academy over the years, Liang Guochaotang is quite stable, even if Wang Pingzhang's rebellion did not hurt the fundamentals. However, they are not monolithic, especially now that Pei Yue is in power. It's not hard to find a few cracks in it."

The subordinate understood and said: "Master, you can start with the mutual suspicion between civil and military."

Wang Chongyun nodded, and said calmly: "The most urgent thing is to let all our people lurk in the capital of Liang State according to their established identities. Your Majesty bypassed Gao Cheng and handed all the hands and gold and silver into my hands. It is aimed at Pei Yue alone. If he wants to win a decisive victory thousands of miles away, Liang Guo must first fall into internal troubles."

He paused, took out a piece of paper from the bottom of the file, turned his head and said: "Here is a list, all the officials and dignitaries above Liang Guochaotang, and their life preferences. Although the detailed work of the Metropolitan Council has been out of touch for many years Going to the important ministers of Liang's two governments, but it is not completely ineffective. What you have to do now is to speed up and do what you like, and influence their judgment and position as much as possible."

"Yes!" The subordinate took the list with both hands, and answered with a firm expression.

Wang Chongyun waved his hand, and after the other party left, he looked out at the cramped courtyard through the window, and said with a sneer, "The Dongshan Wang family has always revenged every grudge, I hope you don't let me down too much."

……

Southern Zhou Dynasty, Pingjiang Town, Wanghai Tower.

Today, there are more than a thousand people in armor and sharp-edged soldiers outside the building, and the atmosphere is dignified and chilling.

On the corridor on the top floor, Zhen Guogong Fang Xie Xiao and Jubei Hou Xian Chunqiu sat facing east.

Fang Yuntian, Fang Yunjiang, Xian Henghan, Xian Xiaoshi and other younger generations stayed in the room quietly, looking at each other and not saying a word.

The sound of the waves slowly spread to the ears, and the slightly fishy sea breeze blew in.

Fang Xiexiao invited the tea ceremony: "The old Hou Ye traveled a long distance to Pingjiang Town, and he prayed for forgiveness for his poor hospitality."

A gentle smile appeared on Xian Chunqiu's old face, and he said calmly: "You know, my lord, when I crossed the Tiancang River overnight with blood and deep hatred, what I was most worried about was not that the late emperor would reject the old man, but that your father would first suppress him. The Duke doesn't believe in the sincerity of old people."

Hearing him mention his late father, Fang Xiexiao couldn't help showing reverence.

Xian Chunqiu went on to say: "After seeing Duke Xianzhen, this old man will know what a villain's heart is. Not only did he not doubt me, a Northern Liang general, but he quickly asked me to assist in military affairs. Rare. That is, since then, the status of Pingjiang Town has been second only to Jian'an City in the old man's heart."

He turned his head to look at Fang Xiexiao, and sighed: "Don't say that the Duke of the country treats you so solemnly, it's just simple tea and light food, and the old man is willing to enjoy it."

Fang Xiexiao nodded and said, "Old Hou, you are being polite."

Xian Chunqiu changed the topic: "Your Majesty said that the Duke of the State is afraid of being disappointed with the imperial court, so he does not support the strategy of uniting Wu against Liang, but this old man does not think so."

Fang Xiexiao smiled faintly, but did not answer.

Xian Chunqiu didn't take it seriously, and continued: "I still remember how many hardships and dangers I had to go through together with the Duke of the State to fight against the Liang army, from Wang Pingzhang to Guliang. Among the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, the old man sincerely admires two people, one is the first assistant Xu Huiyan, and the other is the Duke of Zhenguo. Therefore, the old man said to His Majesty before coming that the Duke is not dissatisfied with the court. The reason why I haven’t given an answer for a long time is just because I don’t believe in old age.”

Fang Xiexiao didn't deny or admit that Xian Chunqiu proposed to Emperor Qingyuan to take advantage of the instability of the Northern Liang new king's ascension to the throne, and unite with the Wu State to take the initiative to attack and mobilize all forces to launch a full-scale offensive.At that time, he guessed that the old and resolute Jubei Hou was probably trying to kill two birds with one stone, using Pingjiang's disciples to consume Beiliang's troops to achieve his ulterior purpose.

Xian Chunqiu said leisurely: "This old man understands the worries of the Duke of Guo, so he volunteered to His Majesty and went through this personally in order to explain his heart to the Duke of the country. This time the joint attack on Beiliang, the old man will recommend the Duke of the country to return. Then you and I will each lead an army and march north from the east and west lines at the same time."

Fang Xiexiao was silent for a long time, and said with emotion: "Old Hou Ye has said so much, if I continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb, I'm afraid I will disappoint His Majesty. Anyway, according to what Old Hou Ye said, the children of Pingjiang are willing to serve the country. Fang Mou is no exception if he sacrifices his life."

The two smiled at each other.

Fang Xiexiao said again: "Old Lord, it's not that I underestimate the soldiers of the Northern Liang army. Even if we can join forces with the Wu State at the same time, it is still not easy to gnaw down those hard bones on the border of the Liang State. things."

"It's natural."

Xian Chunqiu nodded in agreement, and then said: "The key to defeating Liang is to weaken their own strength first. If Beiliang is still stable inside, even if we can gain a temporary advantage, we will not be able to compete with their background in the future. Therefore, Beiliang will not be chaotic. It’s going to be hard to do.”

Fang Xiexiao was slightly startled, and looked at the old man next to him with deep meaning.

The other party obviously came prepared, especially since there are many deep meanings hidden in this sentence.

Xian Chunqiu said softly: "My lord, could it be that I forgot that the old man was from Liang more than 30 years ago, and happened to know some secrets. In fact, the old man didn't expect that those old things could still be useful to disrupt the court of Liang Guo before we sent troops. .”

Fang Xiexiao said seriously: "I would like to hear the details."

On the line between the sea and the sky, the waves are rushing, under such a beautiful scenery, Xian Chunqiu narrates, and the hustle and bustle of the sea breeze brings a faint smell of blood.

After a long time, Fang Xiexiao couldn't hide his shock and said, "So it turned out to be so... so..."

He turned his head to look at the sky in the north, and murmured: "If the old Hou Ye can succeed in this plan, we will indeed have a greater chance of winning."

Xian Chunqiu said solemnly: "It will definitely be done."
