Invincible son

Chapter 1187 1188 [Thousands of miles of fast wind] ([-])
In the Southern Zhou Dynasty, Jian'an City was built.

The door of Zhen Guo Gong's mansion was opened wide today, Zhen Guo Gong Fang Xie Xiao and his eldest son Fang Yuntian came out to welcome him in person.

"I have seen the Duke." The old man who got off the carriage was in good spirits, his body was still healthy, and he quickly stepped forward and bowed his hands in salute.

Fang Xiexiao returned the courtesy and said: "The old Hou Ye came here to make the humble house flourish."

Although it was not the first time for Xian Chunqiu to come to this magnificent mansion, it has been 15 years since the last visit.Since the death of Fang Xiexiao's father, the conflict between the Fang and Xian martial arts factions has gradually become public, and reached its peak after Fang Xiexiao was promoted to the Prime Minister and Minister of Military Affairs.

Although Xian Chunqiu was a surrendered general from Beiliang who defected to Beiliang more than [-] years ago, the Xian family who stayed in the capital of Beiliang were killed in sevens and eights, which was enough for him to win the trust of the monarchs and ministers of the Zhou Dynasty.By virtue of his familiarity with the inside information of the Beiliang Frontier Army and his own ability to lead troops to fight, Xian Chunqiu has made a lot of contributions, so it is inevitable for the Xian family to rise in the army.

Another reason that cannot be ignored is that no matter Emperor Qingyuan, Xu Huiyan or the princes of the court, they are unwilling to see the Pingjiang Fang family dominate the army, which may lead to extremely serious consequences. The past is well known.

After Fang Xiexiao's father passed away, Emperor Qingyuan chose to let Fang Xiexiao take over as Prime Minister and Minister of Military Affairs out of consideration for the overall situation, but he did not indifferent to Xian Chunqiu, and some of the martial arts who were promoted later also carried a distinctive Xian family. Imprints, such as the coaches of the Ningguo Day Camp and the Linjiang Day Camp.Under long-term checks and balances and adjustments, Xian and Fang became equal poles in the army.

The power struggle was cruel and cruel. Everyone thought that these two military figures would never get in touch with each other, but no one thought that when the time entered the spring of Qingyuan 14th, the relationship between the two became closer. Now Xian Chunqiu is even more After a lapse of 15 years, he visited the government office of Zhen Guo again. This move attracted many people to spy on him secretly.

At the end of the long street, a middle-aged man with an ordinary face saw the carriage of the Jubeihou Mansion stop in front of the Zhen Guo Gong Mansion, turned and left thoughtfully, and soon disappeared into the vast crowd.

Xian Chunqiu stopped at the bottom of the gate, staring at the plaque written by the late emperor, and sighed: "If it wasn't for the appreciation and support of the late emperor, the old man would have been a bone of bones by the river. Even though more than [-] years have passed, he is still in his heart. "

Fang Xiexiao said: "The old Hou Ye is as talented as a cone in his bag. My grandfather has praised him more than once, and he is very pleased because the country has won such a good general."

In Xian Chunqiu's eyes, there was a bit of sadness in reminiscing about the past, and he sighed repeatedly.

The two entered the duke's mansion side by side, and when they came to the main hall, the host and guest were seated. Fang Yuntian stood beside Fang Xiexiao respectfully.

After drinking tea, Xian Chunqiu went straight to the topic and said: "The army of the State of Wu is suppressing the border, and the situation in the north and west of the Liang Dynasty is critical. The young emperor sent two battalions of the Beijing Army to help the border at Pei Yue's suggestion. I don't know how the Duke thinks about the current situation ?”

Fang Xiexiao murmured: "Actually, for our dynasty, the movement of the Northern Liang Jing Army is of course important. The first thing to focus on is their frontier army. According to the report from the northern bank spies, after Xiao Jin, the right army plane of the Northern Liang Dynasty arrived at the border, the Fortified Army Both the battalion and Qi Nian's battalion are moving towards the rear of Puqi City. At present, it can be judged that Xiao Jin has not guessed the main attack direction of our army, so he can only shrink the defense line and stick to it."

Xian Chunqiu's eyes flashed, and he said calmly: "From this point of view, Xiao Jin is much more conservative than Gu Liang."

Fang Xiexiao nodded and said: "This person has been guarding Hucheng in the west of Beiliang for ten years, and he has never made a mistake. It can be seen that he has become cautious. Although such a character is difficult to deal with, we can take advantage of it."

Xian Chunqiu pondered for a moment, then said leisurely: "It seems that there are indeed many conflicts between Xiao Jin and Pei Yue."

After Chief Assistant Xu Huiyan used the relationship between Pei Yue and Xu Churong to pass on false information, they took advantage of the situation to formulate a whole set of strategies to attack the North Shore.In their plan, first use the Wufeng Navy and the Ningguo Camp to create a false appearance in the upper reaches of the Tiancang River, and attract the main force of the Liang Army on the north bank to deploy defenses upstream.

After completing the first step, Fang Xiexiao can lead the newly built navy to go northward and capture the southeastern part of Yaozhou in Beiliang from the mouth of the Tiancang River.

As long as this big camp is taken down and the north and south banks at the end of the Tiancang River are connected together, this will open a breakthrough for the overall battle situation.If the Beiliang frontier army ran from west to east for a long distance to try to recapture the Yaoshan camp, the feigned attack on the upper reaches of the Tiancang River could be transformed into a real attack, enough to make the northern Liang frontier army unable to see each other.

Beiliang still had another option, and that was to order the entire army of [-] troops on the south bank of the Tiancang River to attack and threaten Jian'an City all the way south.

In fact, this is the situation that Fang Xian and the two most hope to see.

It's just that the development of the situation deviated from their prediction, Xiao Jin was too cautious, or maybe he didn't believe the false information that Xu Churong sent Pei Yue at all, this was the reason for Xian Chunqiu's emotion.

Fang Xiexiao said calmly: "Actually, this may not be a bad thing."

Xian Chunqiu was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, "Is the Duke's intention false or true?"

Fang Xiexiao said: "Xiao Jin's success in prudence will inevitably lead to defeat in prudence. At least so far, he cannot determine the true intentions of our army, so he can only passively defend. One step behind is one step behind. In my opinion, the Eastern Front The first battle on the battlefield will be relatively easy, but Xiao Jin's counterattack must be very violent, because he cannot bear the consequences of the fall of the country."

Xian Chunqiu understood and said: "A feint shot on the east front, and then the army on the west front presses down?"

Fang Xiexiao nodded and said: "At that time, the Eastern Front will also make a comeback. The Tiancang River defense line stretches for thousands of miles. Xiao Jin loses sight of this and Liang Jun is exhausted. This is a foreseeable situation."

Xian Chunqiu laughed boldly and said: "Prudent people will be forced to put all their eggs in one basket. It is impossible for Xiao Jin not to see a glimmer of life on the south bank of the Tiancang River. As long as the Liang troops in Jiangling Hanyang and other cities come out together, our army will be able to close the net." Even if Liang Guo cannot be defeated in this battle, he can bite a big bite out of them. If Wu Guo can achieve a certain victory, and Bei Liang suffers from the enemy and loses in two battlefields at the same time, maybe we can really fulfill His Majesty's wish Albert."

Fang Xiexiao still calmly said: "We have to wait a little longer. Wu has the advantage in terms of military strength, and the northern plains are conducive to cavalry raids. Before the Northern Liang Jingbattalion arrives, there will always be some victories in the Western Front. This will have a great impact on the morale of the soldiers and civilians in Beiliang, even if Xiao Jin doesn't send reinforcements northward, the defenders' will to fight will be weakened, and it will be more beneficial to our army at that time."

Xian Chunqiu murmured, "How about starting the war on the Eastern Front on the first day of March?"

Fang Xiexiao counted the time, nodded with a smile and said, "Great kindness."

Xian Chunqiu said: "Then it will be settled like this, the old man will enter the palace tomorrow to report to His Majesty."

The two talked in detail for another half an hour, Xian Chunqiu bid farewell and left, Fang Xiexiao personally sent it outside the residence.

Watching the carriage leave slowly under the guard of more than a hundred entourages, Fang Xiexiao turned back to the house, and asked the eldest son who was always by his side: "What do you think?"

Fang Yuntian said softly: "Father, the Marquis of Rejecting Bei may have other plans."

"Why?"

"He has to fight this battle, because when Beiliang recovers, once he goes south, it will be a disaster for the Xian family. It's just... the son thinks that what he wants is not just to defeat the Beiliang frontier army. Fang Xian The two families are at the same level in the military, this is a situation that has been created for more than ten years, and this time he behaved too impartially."

"Would there be a demon if something goes wrong? Hehe...he wants to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf, so naturally we can also invite you into the urn."

Fang Yuntian's heart trembled, he looked at his father's side face with a vicissitudes of life, and lowered his head, "My son understands."

Fang Xiexiao said unhurriedly: "Regarding the thoughts of the Marquis of the North, I have talked with Xu Shoufu twice for my father, and I can probably guess his intentions. Right now, Xu Shoufu is investigating the evildoers in the middle of the aristocratic family. You can only pretend to be false."

He paused slightly and sighed: "After all, the most important thing is to defeat the Beiliang frontier army."

Fang Yuntian said seriously: "Yes."
