Invincible son

Jianzhang hall.

Chen Guan, the new minister of the Ministry of War, stood quietly at the bottom, looking at the eloquent and eloquent young Duke, feeling envious involuntarily.

He was 48 years old at the time, and he had worked hard in the court for more than 20 years, and he had to go through twists and turns to become an important minister.In the year of Pei Yue, Fang Ruoguan was already in power, and he celebrated a grand birthday a month ago. At that time, not only the civil servants and military officials who were full of capital all went to Weiguo Gongfu to send congratulatory gifts, but also rewards from the Queen Mother and His Majesty in the palace. , It can be said that the scenery is extremely unmatched.

It's just that this young Duke seems to be not satisfied.

"...Your Majesty, my lords, the Southern Dynasty will inevitably struggle to the death, so they will seize all available means. After the great war two years ago, Western Wu seemed to have no ability to raise troops to invade the country in a short period of time, but It cannot be ruled out that under the instigation of the Southern Dynasty, the monarchs and ministers of the Western Wu put all their eggs in one basket. In addition, although the northern border has been pacified, the southwestern Yuzhou has not been peaceful, and there is also the possibility of disaster.”

Pei Yue spoke calmly, but Chen Guan shook his head secretly.

Wei Guogong was too eager, now that he holds such a large power, he still wants to continue to seize power.

He didn't believe that under the premise of internal stability in Daliang, Western Wu and Southern Zhou dared to raise troops again not long after they were defeated. This was probably because Pei Yue was alarmist and wanted to take this opportunity to expand his influence in the army and grab more power. .

Chen Guan only lamented that he was a soft-spoken person, obviously not qualified to question at this time, so he looked expectantly at the important ministers ahead.

However, what he did not expect was that not only Gu Liang, Luo Ting and the others did not refute, but even Xiao Jin, who had previously stated that he disagreed with Pei Yue, had a serious expression on his face, as if they were considering the seriousness of Pei Yue's words .

On the dragon chair, Liu Xian pondered and said: "What Duke Wei said is reasonable, but I have also asked Chen An and Jing Chu, neither Taige nor Luan Yiwei have received relevant reports so far. At least so far So far, there has been no sign of mobilizing troops on the border between Western Wu and Southern Dynasties."

Chen Guan breathed a sigh of relief. Although His Majesty is young, he seems to be able to hold his breath right now.

Pei Yue shook his head slightly and said: "Your Majesty, the Gaoyang Plain is as flat as the river, and the cavalry of the Western Wu Dynasty are as fast as the wind, and the border of Kyoto is far away, so it will take time to deliver the news. Even if the secret agents of the Taiwan Pavilion send the news back immediately when the other party shows their feet, wait for the court to come to this place." If we react on the side, I am afraid that there will be dangers of territorial collapse.”

Han Gongduan frowned and said, "Duke Wei, may I ask why you made such a judgment?"

Everyone looked at it.

There was already a hint of coolness in the air in early October, and the feeling in the hall became more and more obvious.

Pei Yue looked around at all the princes in the palace, and did not disclose the matter of Xu Churong's tip-off to the public, but calmly replied: "I have met and fought with people from Wu and Zhou countries, and I know their behavior very well, especially now that they have mastered Xian Chunqiu, a traitor to the military power of the Southern Dynasty, will never sit still and wait for death."

Luo Ting nodded and said: "Your Majesty, I believe in Duke Wei's judgment on this matter."

Liu Xian hesitated and said: "I don't doubt Pei Qing's vision in military matters, but now the country needs to recuperate. Before the enemy country shows any signs, they will go to war and gather troops. I'm afraid it will attract opposition from the government and the public."

Daliang needs to regain the homeland of the Southern Dynasties. This is the consensus of all civil and military officials, but this matter obviously cannot be rushed.

On the premise that there is no conclusive evidence, deploying troops to the west and south sides of the border at the same time is likely to trigger militaristic criticism.

Pei Yue calmly said: "Your Majesty, I don't want to waste people's money. If you want to prevent problems before they happen, food, grass and military equipment must be prepared in advance, but the key lies in the commander. The Beijing camp needs time to recover, but the frontier army has not been depleted. Therefore, we only need to send a temporary commander to the west and south to coordinate the defense of each battalion, even if the Western Wu and Southern Dynasties suddenly send troops, we can respond in time."

Liu Xian said slowly: "What does Pei Qing mean?"

Pei Yue said sternly: "Your Majesty, I would like to invite you to re-establish the two posts of Chengjing Camp Control and Hucheng Camp Control to lead the frontier troops in the two places to prepare for war."

Liu Xian's face relaxed. If he just restored the head of the frontier army instead of sending a large army to attack Wu and Zhou at the same time, then it would naturally be within his tolerance.

However, just when he was about to speak and agree, he suddenly found that the atmosphere in the hall was a little weird.

Even Luo Ting and Han Gongduan looked solemn, and did not immediately support Pei Yue's suggestion.

Liu Xian gradually came to his mind, and with Pei Yue's current position in the army, if the two battalion restraints were really restored, he must be one of them.If such a young powerful minister can still firmly control the frontier army in the next two years, I am afraid...

Pei Yue looked as usual, quietly looking at the young emperor on the dragon chair.

Looking at his clear eyes, Liu Xian couldn't help but think of the past, so he smiled lightly and said calmly, "Zunzuo."

Pei Yue bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

There was a sudden commotion in the hall, but Liu Xian got up and said: "All the ministers submit the memorial within two days, and each of them must recommend two candidates for exercising restraint."

The noise suddenly disappeared, and the ministers saluted and received orders.

Pei Yue watched Liu Xian's slightly anxious figure walking towards the harem, knowing that he must be looking for the unfathomable Empress Dowager Wu, he couldn't help turning around and exiting the Jianzhang Hall thoughtfully.

Back at Duke Wei's mansion, Pei Yue sat quietly in the outer study for a long time.

Instead of writing the memorial prescribed by the emperor, he took out three secret letters from the hidden compartment of the bookshelf, and said to Feng Yi who was standing beside him: "Use the most secret postal routes to send these three letters as quickly as possible." Send the secret letter."

Feng Yi said sternly, "Yes, young master."

He glanced at the name under the wax paint, and couldn't help feeling excited.

……

In the extreme north, near the Kuta Mountains in the wilderness.

A group of elite cavalry galloped on their horses, dismounted before coming to the camp, and then walked straight into the middle army, holding a secret letter with intact seals in both hands and respectfully handing it to Wei Rui.

Chen Xianda and Meng Longfu did not step forward, but after Wei Rui read the letter, he asked eagerly, "Brother Wei, is it a letter from the Duke?"

Wei Rui nodded, turned around and threw the secret letter into the brazier, watched it burn to ashes with his own eyes, and then said: "The Duke of the State said that the Zangfengwei must complete a feat that has never been done by any army from ancient times to the present. One battle will determine the victory of the world."

Chen Xianda suddenly became excited.

But Meng Longfu asked: "Will there be a war?"

Wei Rui said in a deep voice, "Yes."

Without elaborating clearly, he walked slowly outside the tent and looked at the well-hardened soldiers and cavalry in the camp.

After half a year of sweeping the caves in Liting, all the barbarian groups in the wasteland were destroyed, and all the living barbarians were gathered and could be escorted back to the territory at any time.

The Tibetan front guard cavalry is brave and good at fighting, and in the extremely harsh environment of the wasteland, it is like a magic weapon that has been temporarily sealed.

Once out of the sheath, it will be like a ghost and god.

……

West Territory, Lingzhou, inside Xingyang city.

Two young men came to the governor's mansion.

Although they have no official identities, the officials in the mansion dare not be negligent, because the Xiangyun Company in charge of these two people has become the leading business name in Lingzhou and the surrounding areas, and they have a very close relationship with the owner of the governor's mansion.

After a while, Wang Yong and Yang Hu were led to the inner study.

After Lingzhou Inspector Tang Youzhi retired, Wang Yong took out a letter from his bosom and respectfully handed it to the official of the frontier.

Tang Youzhi carefully read the contents of the letter, and then said with emotion: "When we left the capital, Wei Guogong had a long talk with me all night. At that time, I talked about the military of the western border. I thought he was too cautious. Today We know the precision of Wei Guogong's vision."

Wang Yong and Yang Hu didn't know what was said in the letter, but they had already received instructions from Pei Yue brought by the messenger, and the governor of Lingzhou was the only one to follow.

Tang Youzhi put away his exclamation, and said slowly: "You two little friends, there will not be a moment of leisure in the future, and I hope that you will do your best to cooperate with me."

The two said in unison: "Obey!"

……

On the bank of the East China Sea in Daliang, Qinzhou, Songning Mansion.

Qinzhou navy station.

This yamen is as simple as it was many years ago, but only the generals inside the navy know how the Qinzhou navy, nicknamed the stepmother's raise, has changed in recent years.

All of this is due to the young Duke of Wei, so Hu Dayou, the commander who has had a relationship with him several times, has become the celebrity of this navy, and his status seems to be second only to the admiral.

In the back house of the government office, Hu Dayang looked at the burly naval admiral Chen Huacheng, and said eagerly, "My lord, Duke Wei has a great plan!"

Chen Huacheng nodded and said, "Indeed."

Hu Dayou pretended to hesitate and said: "It's just that there is no written note from the court, I'm afraid..."

Chen Huacheng scolded with a smile: "It's not going up along the Qishui River to harass the capital, don't pretend to be in front of me! Since Wei Guo has made it public, I will naturally follow suit. This matter is left to you, don't make mistakes!"

Hu Dayou said with a smile: "I'm just waiting for your words, don't worry, you can't make mistakes!"
