Invincible son

Chapter 1242 1243【Knowledge of gains and losses】

"I didn't expect Mr. Xu to be the first to bring this up in front of me."

Regarding Xu Huiyan's provocative suggestion, Pei Yue was noncommittal, and a faint smile appeared in his clear eyes.

Xu Huiyan said with emotion: "The old man just had a feeling for a while, and the Duke and Auntie listened to it. In fact, there should have been an argument in the court of Liang Guochao that you are a powerful minister, but in the eyes of the old man, the Duke is not a powerful minister in the ordinary sense. Although the power in your hands is It was bestowed by the two emperors of your country, but you are able to hold these powers because you are not afraid of life and death. After Wang Pingzhang died, Liang Guo no longer has any martial arts to overwhelm you, let alone guarding the city for ten years Xiao Jin, even the Marquis of Guangping can't do it."

Pei Yue said calmly: "There is indeed some truth."

Xu Huiyan was a little surprised. It was hard for him to imagine that a 20-year-old young man was sitting in front of him.

Age is not the key, but Pei Yue can still maintain absolute composure after hearing this proposal.

Throughout the ages, there have been many people who held power at a young age. For example, Emperor Taizong of the former Wei Dynasty ascended the throne at the age of 15, and ruled the world at the age of less than 20.But even this emperor of the ages in the history books cannot do this without his background, and Pei Yue was just a bastard who was in a difficult situation back then, but now facing the temptation to rule the world, he can do it Take it easy.

This concentration is really rare.

Xu Huiyan sighed softly: "Compared with Wang Pingzhang, who embarked on the road of rebellion, the military achievements of the Duke are more dazzling, and your reputation among the people is at the top of the sky. It may not be that they don't have old thoughts, it's just that they dare not speak because they are in awe."

Pei Yue smiled lightly, and asked with interest: "Then according to Mr. Xu, what should I do?"

Xu Huiyan's eyes were shining brightly, and he said calmly: "One word, procrastination! Taking Jian'an does not mean calming down the southern border. If you want to complete this matter completely, it will take three to five years. Duke Wei sits here, so he can constantly digest the local forces. , truly transform this place into your territory. Of course, the emperor of your country will definitely not sit idly by. Even if he really trusts the Duke, the ministers in the court will not agree. In short, they will definitely try to transfer the Duke back , and then let other people take over the affairs of the southern border."

Pei Yue nodded and said, "That's right, how will I deal with it then?"

Xu Huiyan smiled and said: "Even if the Duke cannot control all the hundreds of thousands of troops, he can at least control more than a hundred thousand elites. With these people as support, can't there be no reason to refuse? The distance between the north and the south is thousands of miles. It will take several months, and as long as the envoys go back and forth a few times, the Duke will be able to lay the foundation. In the end, it will be nothing more than the emperor of your country tearing up his face, and it will be a matter of course for the Duke to come to the world at that time."

Pei Yue said leisurely: "Mr. Xu's outlook really makes me yearn for it."

Xu Huiyan choked slightly.

The so-called obedience and listening to the sound, of course, will not be superficial in his state. Pei Yue seems to agree with this sentence, but in fact he gave a completely opposite answer.

At this moment, he finally showed a puzzled expression.

Loyal ministers are not uncommon, and there are many records about loyal ministers in the history books, but a young prince who is in power, has many fans, has opportunities in front of him, and is destined to be jealous of the emperor, can completely ignore the sovereign who is at his fingertips. Such a person is hard to find in a thousand years.

In any case, Xu Huiyan still wants to make the last effort: "Duke, have you ever thought that after the southern border is settled, Liang Guo will definitely release Nanshan, and how will you deal with yourself at that time? The key to raising the bandits is the bandits. You represent the Liu royal family. To level the world, how could that young emperor continue to keep a magic weapon for his own sake and future generations' consideration?"

He paused for a moment, and said solemnly: "A knife has double edges, it can kill the enemy and also hurt oneself."

Pei Yue nodded, stared into the eyes of the old man, and said calmly: "Before I came to Jian'an, I thought about what kind of secret hands Xu Gong would have. Now it seems that your realm is indeed higher than others , in such a passive situation, still thinking about turning the tide, it is worthy of the name of the chief assistant of the court."

Xu Huiyan's face remained unchanged, and he asked, "What does the Duke mean by this?"

Pei Yue said leisurely: "The internal and external troubles of the Southern Dynasty have laid the root of the disaster since the founding of the country more than [-] years ago, and it is still unable to solve it. In the final analysis, the power of the clan is all over the court and the army, the rich and powerful are exhausted. Unspeakable suffering. If internal troubles cannot be resolved, the ruling and opposition parties will not be able to form a joint force to fight against foreign enemies. This is the root cause of the outbreak of the Jian'an Rebellion, and it is also the reason why Fang Xiexiao chose to surrender. In a word, your internal forces are intricate and complex, and you face external forces. When it is under heavy pressure, it will inevitably fall apart. What's more, the people have suffered from the powerful and powerful for a long time. This time, Jian'an City fell into the hands of the rebels, and it is a clear proof that not a single soldier came to King Qin to save him for more than half a month."

Xu Huiyan sighed.

Pei Yue continued: "Grand Xu's suggestion sounds beautiful, but it is a poisonous fruit. If I follow your suggestion, King's Landing may not be successful, but I will definitely be hit hard by the North, and I will definitely I will meet with soldiers. I can sit and discuss with Xu Gong in Jian'an City. Maybe it is due to my personal ability, but in essence it depends on the support of the girders. This comes and goes. The so-called sitting north and south is nothing but vain It's just a fantasy."

What a keen and penetrating mind.

A bit of bitterness appeared on Xu Huiyan's face, and he shook his head and said, "Of course the old man has some selfish intentions, but it's not because he wants to trap the Duke in a desperate situation. To be honest, the Qinghe Xu family has been passed down for thousands of years, and the old man can't bear to destroy it in his own hands. If the Duke stands on his own As for the door, the Xu family may be able to continue the lintel, of course, the old man will follow the Duke's idea and cut himself a few times first."

Pei Yue was noncommittal about this. In fact, the moment Xu Huiyan spoke earlier, he guessed the other party's true intentions.

The reason why he didn't expose it directly was because he wanted to save the other party some face. After all, Xu Huiyan would be able to get twice the result with half the effort if he had Xu Huiyan's help in dealing with those complicated and trivial matters.

Thinking of this, he slowed down and said: "Actually, I can understand Xu Gong's position. For you, the Southern Dynasty is the orthodoxy engraved in your blood after all. All you said is nothing more than hoping that the elites of the Liang Dynasty will kill each other, and then Use this gap to reorganize the local forces. While the battle is progressing, you can also use my knife to cleanse the deep-rooted clan forces in the southern border."

Looking at the gradually pale face of the old man in front of him, Pei Yue said slowly: "If I really follow your suggestion, can I control the vast territory of the south just by relying on more than [-] elites under my command? Mr. Xu, this is killing three birds with one stone." The strategy, one can damage the national power of Liang to solve the immediate crisis, the other can make me bear the crime of traitor and thief and lose the support of the rear, and the third can solve the stubborn illness of the Southern Dynasty itself."

Xu Huiyan was silent for a long time, and said with difficulty: "I made the Duke laugh."

Pei Yue did not sneer, but said seriously: "The so-called stratagem is nothing more than a method, technique, and power, but the technique is a small way after all. I can sit here today not because I am good at planning. The reason is that Daliang is strong and Southern Dynasty is weak. In the battle of Xuyangguan, our Southern Army suffered heavy losses, but it was far from being injured. In the battle of Pingjiang, when you wiped out your imperial army, Jian'an City had no more soldiers. Therefore, the general situation Huang Huang, no one can reverse it."

He sighed softly, and said quietly: "Mr. Xu is in a desperate situation, and he is still trying to find a way out for the Southern Dynasty. I can only admire it. How can I talk about ridicule? However, I hope that Mr. Xu can understand that there may be a future between me and His Majesty Daliang." The discord will not affect the decision I make now."

Xu Huiyan thought quietly, then raised his head suddenly and asked, "This old man is very curious, what is the ambition in the Duke's heart?"

Pei Yue picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said calmly, "Mr. Xu, do you remember that we had a long conversation in the Sifang Pavilion two years ago?"

Xu Huiyan was startled.

The past is like smoke, coming quietly.
