Invincible son

Harem, Jingren Palace.

Empress Dowager Wu sat on the couch with her hands folded in front of her body, and several female historians stood beside her.

Outside the bead curtain, stood a man in his thirties.

His temperament is ordinary, his eyes are dull, and he can easily disappear in the sea of ​​people.

He stood stooped slightly, and reported: "Qizuo Queen Mother, I have found out that when the rebel army attacked the capital at dawn, Gu Liang did not rush to the palace immediately after repelling the enemies in the east city, but went to the palace first. Went to the Shen Mansion in Yongrenfang. He stayed there for about a quarter of an hour, and His Majesty hadn't arrived at the Nanxun Palace at that time."

When Empress Dowager Wu heard that long-lost honorific title, she couldn't help showing a bit of sadness in her eyes, she shook her head slightly and said, "It should be called the first emperor."

"Yes, Empress Dowager." The man bowed his head in response, and said again: "I have checked the detailed traces of Gu Liang in the capital before and after Wang Pingzhang's rebellion, and only this one is unreasonable. After Pei Zhen passed away, Gu Liang and Mo Moyun They were like strangers, and had no social contact in private. However, at the critical moment when the rebels broke through the west city and approached the palace, Gu Liang did not return to the palace immediately to command the imperial guards to defend the city, but instead went to Shen's house, which shows that there must be something strange."

Empress Wu smiled expressionlessly and said, "This is Daliang's loyal minister."

The man was silent.

Empress Dowager Wu breathed out a turbid breath, and said slowly: "Before Jun Xinggong passed away, did you have any instructions for you?"

Mo Haoli's deep gaze appeared in the man's mind. The old man obviously expected that the Empress Dowager Wu would ask today's question, so he replied unhurriedly: "The ruling lord once said that he helped the late emperor to train Luan Yiwei. Half of the staff, just want to leave a loyal and reliable arm for the royal family, but don't want them to follow the cruel officials of the previous dynasty to persecute the courtiers. Once this case is opened, the court struggle will fall into an extremely tragic situation, and it will cause irreparable losses to the court. "

The female historians behind the bead curtain frowned unanimously.

Empress Dowager Wu nodded and said: "The Ai family understands Jun Xinggong's kindness, after all you are dead men."

Luan Yiwei is divided into two parts, light and dark. The dark part has been hidden in the mist. It is a dead man trained by Mo Haoli according to the will of Emperor Kaiping.If these people are talking about fighting alone, none of them can go through ten tricks under Ye Qi's hands, but what they are best at is not this kind of frontal death fight, but the protection and assassination without trace.

The man breathed a sigh of relief, he was not afraid of death and sacrifice, but for the Tian family, once these dead soldiers were used, the consequences would be really unpredictable.

Unless it was a last resort, he didn't want to see the sword unsheathed.

The Empress Dowager Wu pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Now that the army of Western Wu is invading the border, the south may not be peaceful. The court should unite as one to resist foreign enemies, so there is no need to continue the investigation. All the ministers' houses are watching secretly as usual. Yes, Duke Wei’s government just need to pay more attention.”

The man bowed and said: "I obey the order."

After she retreated, the Empress Dowager Wu leaned on the couch, looked at the female historian opposite, and said: "The situation on the border is critical, and the valley beams cannot be moved at this time, otherwise... if the border cannot be resisted, the Western Wu army can drive straight in." Heartland."

Nu Shi knew well that the Queen Mother's words were indeed convincing herself, so she echoed: "Your Majesty is wise."

Empress Dowager Wu laughed at herself, and said: "But if Gu Liang wins and returns to the court, and Pei Yue desperately defends him, who can move him then? Since Pei Yue wants the Beijing Army's West Camp and South Camp to help protect the border, that's fine. , you personally take people to the border with Aijia’s will, and when the time is right, find Nan’anhou Suwu and Qiyunhou Yinwei, they know what to do.”

Nu Shi's heart trembled, and a line of words appeared in her mind.

When the overall situation in the Western Territory is finalized, that is the day that Zuo Junji died.

She lowered her head and replied, "I would like to obey your mother's order."

……

The operation of the Daliang court has always been efficient and orderly. After Liu Xian issued the imperial decree and announced it to the world, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty immediately took action.

On the 22nd of the first lunar month, on the fourth day after receiving the emergency report on the military situation in the western region, a total of [-] troops from the Beijing Army's West Camp and South Camp set out first.The two prefectures and various ministries worked together to transport the grain, grass, and baggage out in batches. At the same time, they wrote a document to meet the governors of Qizhou and Dengzhou, and transferred grain from Changping warehouses in various places for the army to use along the way.

In the Xifu Festival Hall, Pei Yue flipped through the thick memorial, frowning involuntarily.

Military affairs are more than a thousand things, especially this kind of war involving tens of thousands of people, intelligence, strategy, logistics, personnel and recruits, there are endless disturbances.During this period of time, he lived and boarded in Xifu, and only slept at most two hours a day, so he couldn't cover everything.Fortunately, the West Mansion and the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion are a mature system, and most of the time he only needs to make a decision.

Although it was unimaginably hard work, Pei Yue also gained something. He not only gained a deeper understanding of the operation of the military, but also constantly strengthened his own influence on the million-strong army in Daliang.

After reading the last report, Pei Yue raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows, then turned to look at the burly general sitting at the bottom, and said apologetically, "I kept General Chen waiting for so long."

Chen Huacheng, Admiral of the Qinzhou Navy, dared to speak out in front of Nan'an Hou Suwu, but at the moment he was very respectful, he quickly shook his head and said: "The Duke of the State has spent all his sleep and food for the court, and the general sits here but can't do anything, I really feel guilty and uneasy. However, the Duke should also pay attention to his body so as not to overwork himself."

Pei Yue laughed and said, "Since when did you learn how to flatter horses?"

Chen Huacheng rubbed his forehead in embarrassment.

Pei Yue continued jokingly: "If you were willing to bow to Wang Pingzhang back then, the Qinzhou Navy would not be so downcast."

Chen Huacheng poked his neck and said: "That old thief has ulterior motives, how can he compare with the Duke? The general is not flattering, but sincerely hopes that the Duke can live a long life!"

"Okay, okay, you are already an admiral of the navy, and you can't stand a few jokes from others?"

Pei Yue smiled, and changed the subject: "Has the matter I told you before been properly arranged?"

When it came to business, Chen Huacheng said solemnly: "The Lord has orders, how dare the general fool him around? The Qinzhou navy is on standby and can go south to fight at any time."

Pei Yue remained silent for a moment, took out a secret letter from his sleeve, handed it to Chen Huacheng and said, "This is the information I received early this morning, please read it first."

Chen Huacheng got up to take it, and after reading it, he said in surprise: "Master, Nan Zhou wants to open a breakthrough from the upper reaches of the Tiancang River?"

Pei Yue said unhurriedly: "The army of Western Wu is pressing down on the border. Our eyes are all on the west. This is a rare opportunity for the Southern Zhou Dynasty, so they will definitely provoke a war. Your Majesty has issued an order to Xiang Marquis of Cheng, order him to lead the battalions of the Southern Army to be careful. You and I know that Southern Zhou really wanted to take back Jiangling City, but it has been defeated several times in the past ten years, so it is not surprising that it has changed its strategy now."

Chen Huacheng said hesitantly: "But it is difficult for a single army to go north for a long time, and our southern army is strong, so Nanzhou's move is a bit abnormal."

Approval appeared in Pei Yue's eyes.

Back then Wang Pingzhang was so powerful that all generals in the army would join him unless they were strong-minded, but Chen Huacheng guarded the dozens of broken ships of the Qinzhou Navy and never bowed his head from the beginning to the end.

Today, he has never believed it unreservedly because it was the secret information provided by Pei Yue. It can be seen that he has his own opinions under his rough appearance.

After thinking for a while, Pei Yue said indifferently: "Whether the plan of the Southern Zhou Dynasty to march from the upper reaches of the Tiancang River is true or not, it will not affect our established strategy. For decades, the Southern Zhou Dynasty built a heavy line of defense in the north of Jian'an City based on several grand passes. , to prevent me from heading south towards the army. These passes may not be impossible to overcome, but there will definitely be a heavy price to pay, and now that Western Wu is coming menacingly, we must pay more attention at this time."

Chen Huacheng's breathing gradually became rapid.

Pei Yue stared at him, and said in a deep voice: "When Yue Zhang took over the military aircraft, he invested in and supported the Qinzhou Navy for today. General Chen, this battle may be difficult, but once it is successful, you will He was the minister who made the first contribution to regaining the homeland of the Southern Dynasty for Daliang."

Chen Huacheng stood up solemnly, full of murderous intent: "The last general will definitely serve his life with all his might!"

Pei Yue raised his hand and said, "Very good. But I can't move right now, I have to wait a little longer."

He looked at the full territory map on the side wall, and his eyes fell on the southeast coast of the mainland.
