Invincible son

Chapter 1164 1165 [Paper is short and love is long]

The Duke's Mansion of the State of Wei, the former residence's study room.

Today's weather is gloomy, the wind is chilling, and the dark clouds are like thick blankets in the sky.

The sill windows are concealed, and it is difficult to see the courtyard view.

The inside of the house is as warm as spring, and there is no need to even prepare a smoker cage.

Pei Yue sat on the teacher's chair and flipped through the letters on the table.

Wen Yu stepped forward slowly to change the warm tea for him, and then stood quietly a little further away, making sure that her sight could not touch the writing on the letter paper.

The first secret letter came from Wei Rui who was still in the wasteland, stating that the hidden dangers of the barbarians had been resolved. Except for those barbarians who had offended the people of Daliang who were executed, the other barbarians were put under centralized guard and temporarily detained in Kuta Near the mountains, waiting for the next order from the court.In addition, the main force of the Zangfengwei is on standby, and can follow Pei Yue's order to make a long-distance attack at any time.

Pei Yue focused his eyes and thought carefully. He had a complete set of development plans for the three states in the northern border. The young man named Xu Mo performed very well, and the branches of Xiangyun were gradually expanding.But he is very clear that he cannot become a fat man with one bite. The most important thing now is to deal with the joint threat of Western Wu and Southern Zhou, followed by stabilizing the court structure and deepening the layout of the five southern states. The transformation of northern Xinjiang can only be temporarily delayed.

"Call Feng Yi to come in."

"Yes, sir."

After a while, Pei Yue wrote two letters and handed them to Feng Yi, and said calmly, "Send them to Wei Rui and Xu Mo respectively."

Feng Yi took the order and left.

Pei Yue opened the second letter, which came from the western region and was written by Tang Youzhi, governor of Lingzhou.

Guliang did not go straight to Xingyang, the prefecture of Lingzhou. After leaving Kyoto, he meandered towards the southwest. After passing through Qizhou, he went straight along the junction of Dengzhou and Yuzhou. Dingxi Camp.

Before he left, he discussed with Pei Yue. Among the three camps in the western region, the Jinshui camp and the Longbow camp were stable as before, but the Dingxi camp was run by Runan Hou Liu Dingyuan for a long time. Inevitably there will be slack.

Therefore, the most important duty of Gu Liang on this trip is to appease the Dingxi camp, and then he will go all the way north along the border, inspect Jinshui camp, Guping military town, Hucheng, Longbow camp and the surrounding military camps, and finally return Within the territory of Lingzhou.

Tang Youzhi, as the governor of Lingzhou who holds the military and political power in one hand, knows Gu Liang's whereabouts like the palm of his hand, so he specifically mentioned it in the letter, which naturally meant to reassure Pei Yue.In addition, with the cooperation of Wang Yong and others, he secretly hoarded food and grass for emergencies.

Pei Yue raised his hand and tapped on the table, falling into long-term contemplation.

He didn't doubt the authenticity of Xu Churong's secret report, and Mr. Xi personally took the risk to confirm it, and he expected Nan Zhou and Xi Wu's desperation.

Compared to Xian Chunqiu and Fang Xiexiao in the south, Pei Yue was really worried about the western border.

Today, the Liangxi Army has a strength of 22, and it can only take a defensive position against the Western Wu cavalry.However, judging from the current information collected by Taishitai Pavilion and Frontier Rangers, it seems that Western Wu has no plans to raise troops, and the mobilization of troops from all sides is no exception.

"Bring the map of the Western Territory."

"Yes, sir."

Wen Yu hung a small map on the wall in front of Pei Yue, and then quietly stared at Pei Yue's side face, feeling a little emotional in his heart.

In previous years, she was trapped in the Dingguo Mansion, and all she saw was a dude like Pei Rong. Occasionally, she heard that the third young master of the Pei family had made great contributions outside. With my own identity, I can only keep that feeling in my heart.Now that she was with her personally, she realized that Pei Yue's success today was not due to luck alone. At least in this study, she saw with her own eyes how hard-working and dedicated Pei Yue was.

"You said, if Western Wu sends troops again, where will the first choice be?"

"Young Master, Maid... Maid does not know."

Pei Yue turned his head and looked, only to see Wen Yu's cheeks were slightly red, he couldn't help smiling and said: "Back then Tao Hua wouldn't call herself a servant in front of me, why are you so humble?"

Wen Yu bowed her head and said blushingly: "Yes, young master."

Seeing this, Pei Yue changed the subject and said, "You are an old man of Luan Yiwei, not a maidservant dedicated to serving others. You should have some understanding of the border situation, so just speak up if you have any ideas."

Wen Yu looked at the map, and after thinking for a moment, said cautiously: "West Wu wants to take back Hucheng the most, but they have tried many times and failed, so they should know that things cannot be done. Maid... I heard that two years ago During the war, Western Wu once sent nearly a thousand cavalry into the territory of Lingzhou, if the young master had not turned the tide and wiped out that cavalry, it would be difficult for the frontier army to maintain stability, which may have a negative impact on the war."

"It's hard for you to remember so clearly—"

Pei Yue was a little emotional, but his voice stopped abruptly.

He stared at the northern boundary of Lingzhou on the map, and then turned his gaze to the Dingxi Camp in the southwest.

"Eight hundred battalion sword battalion... repeat the old tricks, or take the risk?"

Wen Yu listened to Pei Yue's muttering, suddenly became nervous for some reason, and dared not speak out.

After about half a stick of incense, Pei Yue's expression had returned to calm, and he turned to Wen Yu and said, "Has Chen An expressed any doubts about you recently?"

He brought Wen Yu out of the Dingguo Mansion and put it by his side. Now he is assisting Gu Zhen and Ye Qi to take care of the miscellaneous affairs of the Duke's mansion, and secretly still maintains the connection with Luan Yiwei.

Thanks to the secrets that Wen Yu has mastered, he is now very clear about the internal structure of the people in Luan Yiwei—at least on the bright side. .

Wen Yu replied: "Commander Chen only asked someone to bring me a message once, ordering me to stay by the young master's side honestly. I have already reported this matter to the young master before. Apart from that, he didn't give me any instructions. , and because I did help the young master back then, it is normal for the young master to bring me back to the mansion, so he should have no doubts so far."

"honestly?"

Pei Yue smiled coldly, shook his head again, and said softly: "The Empress Dowager is overthinking."

Wen Yu probably knew the complex attitude of the nobleman in the palace towards his young master, neither could he fully trust him, nor did he dare to persecute him too much.

She thought for a while, then said softly: "Master, the queen mother has to guard against it."

Pei Yue nodded slightly and said, "That's right. You find two suitable candidates and arrange them to enter the Mingde Hall after a while, and someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs will assist you."

Wen Yu was slightly surprised and said: "Mingde Palace?"

Of course she knew that it was the place where Princess Qinghe of the Southern Zhou Dynasty and now Concubine Chen Gui lived.

Pei Yue recalled the cloudy conversation with Princess Qinghe in Mingde Palace the day before yesterday, and said lightly: "The princess is very thoughtful, and she is not as weak and deceitful as she appears on the surface. She needs to have some kindness in the capital. Otherwise, sooner or later, she will die in the hands of Empress Dowager Wu. As far as I am concerned, although she does not need to do anything for me, at least for now, she can have some influence on His Majesty the Emperor, and... that's all, first How about this."

Wen Yu replied respectfully: "Yes, young master, I will make proper arrangements."

Pei Yue picked up the last confidential letter on the table, in addition to two pieces of letter paper, there was also a small envelope with wax intact.

This letter was sent by someone sent by Mr. Xi. It briefly described the current situation in the southern border and the training of the company's guards in cipher text. After reading it, Pei Yue opened the small envelope inside.

There is only a piece of letter paper with a few hundred words.

"Pei Yue, see the words as you see them."

"Recently, the situation is turbulent, and my father often sighs. He wants to refuse that Beihou and Zhen Guogong have repaired their relationship, and they secretly formulate a strategy for marching. I don't know what they plan, and my father can't find out. Maybe it's because you and I met last year. Therefore, they have developed a sense of vigilance. But there is one thing that puzzles me, many timber shops in the capital are closed, and there is no large-scale construction in the court."

"Also, everything is fine with me, I hope you cherish yourself."

The signature is Xu Churong.

Pei Yue was silent for a long time, and finally sighed softly.

……

The next day, Imperial City, Chengtian Gate.

The carriage of the Duke of Wei's mansion was parked outside the palace, and Pei Yue walked through the long doorway alone, then turned to the west straight road, and walked into the core of the Daliang army with a calm expression.

West Mansion, Military Academy.

More than a dozen military officials were waiting here, facing the young but dignified Duke, they stood up and saluted at the same time.
