Invincible son

Chapter 1228 1229 [Hanging directly on the cloud sails to help the sea] ([-])

Everywhere in Jiangyin City was full of joy, and the gentry spontaneously took out a large amount of gold, silver and food to reward the Southern Army.

This hearty victory was not easy to come by. After all, the Zhou army has been in high spirits for several months, and it is quite likely to sweep the north bank.However, the two successive battles not only wiped out the Zhou army on the north bank, but also severely damaged the Nanwufeng Navy, which means that a turning point has been reached in the battle. If the Southern Zhou wants to maintain the advantage it has achieved so hard, it must be extra careful and prevent any mistake.

Inside the government office, the generals of the Southern Army gathered together.

When Pei Yue walked in surrounded by several personal soldiers, everyone saluted solemnly in unison, and said in a loud voice: "Meet the Duke!"

"no."

Pei Yue smiled and waved his hands, looked around the crowd but did not find the figure of Xiao Jin, the right army plane, and did not show any surprise on his face, he went straight to the main seat and sat down.

The commander-in-chief of Zhennan Daying Camp, Gongcheng Hou Guo Xing was the first to praise: "The Duke of the country was able to solve the chain, and the two wars reversed the situation in the southern border. It can be said that the use of troops is like a god! If the Grand Duke takes action, the Southern Zhou's hundreds of thousands of troops will be nothing to fear."

Pei Yue couldn't help but said: "Old Hou Ye, you are so blatantly flattering, aren't you afraid of being impeached by the imperial censor?"

Guo Xingdao: "This old man speaks from the bottom of his heart, why be afraid of it? However, if the imperial censor really finds fault with the old man, I hope that the Duke of the State will speak a few words in front of His Majesty."

All the generals laughed.

Pei Yue knew in his heart that as his father-in-law's close friend, Mr. Guo certainly didn't need to be so low-key and petty. He just took advantage of the two victories to establish his absolute position in the Southern Army.

He joked a few words to end this topic, and then went straight to the point: "The battle in the southern border cannot be delayed, and it should be resolved quickly to avoid continuous pressure on the court. Therefore, the generals will obey orders."

Everyone, including Guo Xing, looked at this invincible young Duke with piercing eyes.

Pei Yue said seriously: "General Gu."

Gu Jinshao, the commander of the Yaoshan Camp, was taken aback for a moment. He didn't expect that he would be the first to be named. At this moment, he couldn't help but envy Lu Qi, the commander of the Changping Camp in Sizhou. He was the only commander of the frontier army who did not participate in the Jiangyin military meeting.

In fact, after Pei Yue appeared and turned the tide of the battle, Gu Jinshao felt uneasy, because he was personally appointed by His Majesty the Emperor, and he was not a descendant of the founding prince, so naturally he did not belong to Pei Yue's faction in the army.In addition, he did not come to the front line in person during the Jiangyin World War I, so he would inevitably worry about becoming the object of Pei Yue's exclusion.

At this time, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Gu Jinshao didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly got up and cupped his hands: "The humble job is here."

Pei Yue glanced at the middle-aged Wu Xun of medium stature, and said calmly: "Guiyangwei and Wudingwei will continue to stay on the line from Jiangyin to Songyang. You and the other three guards under your command will set off tomorrow to go to the Sizhou defense line. Arrive in Sizhou After entering the territory, you pass on the commander's order to Lu Qi. I have only one request for you, to drive the Zhou army in Sizhou back to the south bank at all costs."

Gu Jinshao breathed a sigh of relief, he was worried that Pei Yue would deprive himself of his military power regardless.

The Yaoshan camp is the elite of the southern army, second only to the Zhennan camp, especially when Pei Yue rotates the Wuding and Pinghu guards, and transfers the Guiyang guard under the command of Gu Cang, the strength even surpasses that of the Zhennan camp.Gu Jinshao did not object to Pei Yue's command, but he could not always be the commander of the Southern Army. As long as he still controlled the five guards of Yaoshan, he would be worthy of Emperor Kaiping's entrustment before his death.

Thinking of this, Gu Jinshao said awe-inspiringly: "The humble post takes orders!"

Pei Yue nodded, then looked at Zhang Qixian and said, "General Zhang, there are only two guards in Qi Nian's battalion right now, and they have already been deployed on the western front. After General Gu leads the troops to Sizhou, the two guards can return Rest at the rear of Puqi City."

Zhang Qixian's recent situation is a bit embarrassing, because Qi Nian's army has not yet made up for the four guards, Xiao Jin transferred his two guards to Sizhou, he is like a poor coach, with only two thousand guards around him.

Pei Yue's arrangement made him feel a warm current, and at the same time, he also realized that the Southern Army's strategy would change a lot in the future.

After comforting Zhang Qixian, Pei Yue said to Guo Xing again: "The right army plane brought [-] Zhennan troops back, and the old Hou Ye brought them back. When the future counterattacks, the Zhennan army will be the main force."

Guo Xing smiled and said: "I would like to obey the order of the Duke."

Pei Yue pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Now our navy has gained control of the lower reaches of the Tiancang River, and the Zhou army's blockade of the river no longer exists, so we can contact the troops on the south bank. Feng Yi."

"The little guy is here."

"The commander of Jiangling City, Baoding Marquis Caiqian, and the Hanyang City lord, General Gu Jie, were ordered to take advantage of the panic of the enemy soldiers to expand the scope of the ranger scouts and make signs that the army is about to take the initiative to attack. The Southern Zhou rulers and ministers must be aware that we The purpose of the army is not only to take back the land on the north bank, but also to send troops south to take revenge."

"Follow the order!"

Pei Yue looked around at the crowd and said awe-inspiringly: "Before coming here, the commander-in-chief has informed the governors of the five states in the southern region to try their best to provide logistical support. Everyone, the bottom line of this battle is to push the Southern Zhou Dynasty back within the defense line of Xu Yangguan , unplug the other party's Ningguo camp and Linjiang camp, do you hear me clearly?"

All the generals stood up and responded loudly: "I would like to obey the commander's order!"

……

The next day, in the northern suburbs of Jiangyin City.

Spring rain suddenly, lingering.

Staring at Yichuan Yumu, Xiao Jin, the right military plane, said with a complicated expression: "Duke Wei sent him off in person, and I feel a little panicked."

Pei Yue rode beside him, and said calmly: "Mr. Xiangcheng, although you and I had a rift, I know that it was not out of selfishness, but because you were worried that Pei Yue would become a treacherous official who would endanger the imperial power. As for the outcome of the war in the southern border, Although you are a little eager, your original intention is still for the sake of Daliang, and this original intention alone is stronger than some self-righteous people."

Xiao Jin frowned slightly, how could he fail to hear what the young Duke meant.

With his current status, it is obvious that Pei Yue's words are directed at the nobleman in the palace.

but……

Xiao Jin admitted that what happened during this period changed his impression of Pei Yue, but he still couldn't talk about Tianjia in private.

Seeing that he was silent all the time, Pei Yue didn't take it seriously, and said calmly: "I didn't mean to show merit in front of Lord Hou, but when the war in the southern border broke out, I sent a letter to Chengjing Xiangyun in private, ordering them to do their best to help The government, provide logistical support for the Southern Army."

Xiao Jin sighed: "I already knew about this, so I realized that I was wrong."

The so-called fault naturally refers to his previous suspicion of Pei Yue.

In all fairness, if Xiao Jin was in Pei Yue's position, he would not be able to think of a way to slow down and deal with the military aircraft in front of him, so that he could take over the military power smoothly.

Pei Yue said slowly: "There is no need to mention the past, I just hope that after Xiangcheng Hou returns to Beijing, he will understand my painstaking efforts at the critical moment. After all, His Majesty has always been pure filial piety, and he cannot and dare not disobey the Queen Mother's will. But I think there are some things that belong to relatives and enemies, and if they become reality, they will only benefit the wolves outside."

These remarks can be said to be open and honest, and as a courtier, Pei Yue's statement like this is undoubtedly beyond the rules.

However, Xiao Jin found that she didn't mind, maybe it was true as Guo Xing said in private, the young Duke next to him was different from most mediocre people in this world.

He nodded and said seriously, "I know what to do."

Pei Yue smiled, reined in the reins and cupped his hands, and said, "We will have to say goodbye after sending you thousands of miles away, I wish the Marquis of Xiangcheng a smooth journey."

Xiao Jin raised her hand in return, and said sincerely: "I hope that Duke Wei will settle down in southern Xinjiang and return with great victory."

So separate.

……

A few days later, the main force of the Qinzhou Navy was still stationed in the lower reaches of the Tiancang River. However, the hundreds of ships that followed these warships to the south before entered the angry sea eastward under the protection of some warships, and then turned south.

Pei Yue stood on the bow deck, and Shen Danmo leaned against him.

The sea is vast and the scenery is incomparably magnificent.

In the far southwest, there is a city called Pingjiang, which is adjacent to the sea.
