Invincible son

Chapter 1160 1161 [Falling Flowers and Misty Rain Jiangnan]

In the western suburbs of Kyoto, Gulin Station.

After the new rain in the empty mountains, the weather is late to autumn, and the mountains and fields are filled with fresh air.

The scenery beside the road was a bit bleak, but the two men who rode their horses forward slowly were not in the mood to enjoy the autumn scenery at the moment.

"In the future, you should pay attention to avoid contact with Jing Chu as much as possible. He is not Mo Moyun, and right now he can't firmly control all the important positions in the Tai Pavilion. Back then, the first emperor mixed sand in the Tai Pavilion, and those people would either be eliminated in the end , or be used by Mo Moyun for his own use, Jingchu is the best example. In contrast, Jingchu's popularity is still far behind, although your contacts are very cautious, but the number of times will inevitably be seen by others Something strange."

Gu Liang spoke unhurriedly, with a slightly dignified expression.

Pei Yue said softly: "My son-in-law understands, thank you father-in-law for reminding me."

Gu Liang smiled and sighed: "It's not really worth mentioning, it's nothing more than a few nonsense words. You set up a very clever game this time. I didn't notice the abnormality at first. It was you After speaking for Xiao Jin at the court meeting, I gradually realized the mystery. However, if you pull down so many officials at once and push your own people up, even if Liu Xian doesn't notice it for a while, he will definitely come back to it later. "

Pei Yue nodded and said, "I didn't think I could hide it for a long time. Even if Liu Xian couldn't see it, Empress Dowager Wu would definitely find something wrong."

Gu Liang murmured: "Brother Yue, Empress Dowager Wu probably won't do anything to provoke you, but most likely she will try something, and at that time—"

As the breeze blew past, Pei Yue interrupted him with a smile: "Yue Zhang, I came here today not only to see him off, but also to seize power."

Gu Liang turned to look at him, and said with a smile, "Seize the power?"

Pei Yue responded, and then said very seriously: "I told sister Zhen'er earlier in the mansion that I wanted to snatch the military power from Yue Zhang. This time when I went to inspect the military affairs in the western region, Yue Zhang didn't have to worry as much as before. , just need to go around and look around, beat those arrogant soldiers, and come back safely."

Gu Liang listened with great interest.

Pei Yue continued: "After my father-in-law returns to Beijing, although there is no need to rush to resign, you can put down those paperwork and live a leisurely and relaxed life. If you think the capital is cramped and boring, you might as well accompany your mother-in-law to travel around the world and take a look. Magnificent rivers and mountains everywhere. If I have seen all these scenery, I will let people build a huge building boat, and invite the father-in-law and mother-in-law to see the scenery of the world."

Gu Liang couldn't help but said: "Why are you more impatient than the emperor and Xiao Jin?"

Pei Yue said solemnly: "Yue Zhang resigns, Xiao Jin will naturally be promoted to the left military plane, and then His Majesty will let me take over as the right military plane. The 20-year-old military minister must be regarded as unprecedented. tip of brow."

Gu Liang shook his head and said, "You...you haven't told the truth up to this point."

Pei Yue stared at the side face of the middle-aged man, and said softly: "Because many of those people from back then have already died in the ground."

Gu Liang remained silent.

After a long time, a gentle and calm smile appeared on his face, and he said slowly: "Okay, after I finish this last errand, I will hand over the position of Zuo Junji to Xiao Jin, and then go to the south to see the beautiful building that you and Xi Sidao worked so hard to build. landscape."

Pei Yue felt relieved, and hurriedly said: "If a gentleman says a word, four horses are hard to chase!"

Gu Liang looked at the official road in front of him, his eyes darkened slightly, and immediately drove away the emotion, and said earnestly: "Brother Yue, you said that there may be wars on the border, I believe your judgment, but the border is not full of crises. You have to believe in my experience in leading troops and my prestige in the army. Kyoto seems to be safe and sound, and your foundation is getting deeper and deeper, but I am worried. You should never underestimate the enemy, especially The hole card in the hands of the Tian Family."

Pei Yue said seriously: "I will keep it in my heart."

Gu Liang raised his hand and patted his shoulder, said with a smile, "Just send it here, see you next year."

Pei Yue reined in the reins, cupped his hands and said, "Little son-in-law, I wish Mr. Yue Zhang a smooth journey!"

Gu Liang stopped talking and rode his horse to the west.

The soldiers of the Guangping Houfu led by Gu Fan, the first part of the imperial army sent by Liu Xian, and the longbow cavalry led by Gu Mang followed closely.

Pei Yue got off his horse and stood by the road, looking at the figure that gradually disappeared from sight, and bowed.

……

In the Southern Zhou Dynasty, Jian'an City was built.

The drizzle is continuous, and the sound of wind and rain intersects and plays, stirring people's heartstrings.

In an elegant and exquisite manor in Nancheng, two great figures who shared the military power of the Southern Zhou Dynasty sat opposite each other.

Xian Chunqiu poured the tea himself, and then pushed it in front of the sitting Duke of Zhen.

Fang Xiexiao said warmly, "Thank you, Mr. Hou."

Xian Chunqiu smiled and said with emotion: "Back then, there was no drinking and no joy. I really didn't like the Laoshizi tea ceremony. I always thought it was a hobby for scholars to put on a show. Later, as I got older, many things gradually became powerless. Even drinking was banned by the younger generation If you keep nagging, you can only change the course and learn the style of those literati."

Fang Xiexiao smiled faintly, probably understanding the deep meaning of the old man's words, and then echoed: "The elegant place in the south of the Yangtze River is naturally rich in culture, but it is inevitable that the decadent sound will erode people's will. But in my opinion, the old Hou Ye Even though Nian is in ten feet of soft red, his ambition has never fallen, and he can still turn the world around in an instant."

Xian Chunqiu shook his head and sighed: "Master, my old bones are no longer useful. However, once Beiliang goes south, the Xian family will die without a place to bury them, so there is no way for old people to retreat. The only thing is to fight to the death."

Fang Xiexiao looked directly into the eyes of the old man, and said without any haste: "I sent someone to the north to meet Pei Yue secretly, and made it clear that I and the old man were incompatible, and wanted him to send troops from Jiangling City to provoke a war, and then I could borrow Take this opportunity to take back the military power from the old Hou Ye."

Xian Chunqiu pondered for a moment, then said leisurely: "Pei Yue may not believe it."

"I know he won't believe it. This person has deep scheming, and the past events have already been proven. However, it doesn't matter whether he believes it or not. As long as he believes that our goal is the two cities of Jiangling and Hanyang, then we have greater confidence .”

Fang Xiexiao spoke calmly, took a sip of the tea cup.

Xian Chunqiu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he gradually understood the deep meaning of his words.

Fang Xiexiao continued: "Northern Liang has gathered heavy troops in these two fortified cities. The defenders of Puqi City on the north bank can cross the river to support at any time, and there are Zhennan Camp and Qi Nian Camp to support them. After I was discharged from the military, I thought over and over about past wars, and wondered if we had entered a dead end?"

Xian Chunqiu said slowly: "Duke, you mean to ignore the Liang army on the south bank for the time being, and use surprise troops to surprise the opponent's back?"

Fang Xiexiao nodded.

Xian Chunqiu couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Ever since Jiangling City fell into the hands of Beiliang, it was as if a firm nail had been driven hard on the south bank of the Tiancang River, keeping Emperor Qingyuan and their important ministers awake at night. It has become the consensus of everyone to take back Jiangling and use the great river moat to block Beiliang Therefore, Emperor Qingyuan did not hesitate to use Princess Qinghe as a bait to let Fang Xiexiao gather an army to attack.

After a long time, Xian Chunqiu hesitated and said: "There are at least [-] Liang troops in the two cities of Hanyang and Jiangling. They discovered that my army was crossing the river from the upper reaches to the north, and the defense line in the territory was insufficient, how could they miss this opportunity?"

War is by no means a child's play, nor is it a simple war game deduction.

Fang Xiexiao was still calm, and said slowly: "Master Hou, we will not go northward from the upper reaches, because Beiliang will definitely stare at my Wufeng navy in the upper reaches of the Tiancang River."

Xian Chunqiu's eyes flashed suddenly.

Pingjiang Town by the East China Sea appeared in his mind.

It was a large coastal city with hundreds of thousands of residents.

Fang Xiexiao lowered his voice and said: "At the same time, I hope to see Liang Jun from the Nan'an leave those two fortified cities and head towards my heartland with empty defenses."

Xian Chunqiu's eyes became brighter and brighter, not as cloudy as before.

He sincerely praised: "This plan is feasible."

The rain was gurgling outside the window, and the two veterans who had fought for more than [-] years couldn't help but smile at each other.
