Invincible son

Chapter 1278 1279 [The wind blows a leaf]

Lingzhou, Xingyang City.

After Western Wu withdrew its troops, the border returned to tranquility.

For the people in Lingzhou, although this world-renowned national war has made them uneasy, Wu Jun has not broken through the defense line of the frontier army. The only impact is that there is a slight shortage of living supplies. Get back to normal soon.

According to the detailed report hidden in the territory of Western Wu, Emperor Xuanwu immediately deprived Zhendong General Xie Lin of his military position and title when he returned to Anyang, and sent all the generals of the North Route Army to prison for review.After this disastrous defeat in which 16 troops were lost and [-] Anyang dragonriders were buried in the Gaoyang Plain, the state of Wu no longer had the power to invade its territory eastward.

If it weren't for Pei Yue's extraordinary troops to recapture the Southern Zhou Dynasty, Daliang would definitely gather heavy troops to take advantage of the situation to attack Wu, at least to take the Gaoyang Plain into its pocket.

But right now the court's center of gravity is in the south, and the Western Army only needs to implement the pre-war strategy, continue to press forward with the line of defense composed of the Longbow Camp, Hucheng, Jinshui Camp, and Dingxi Camp, and maintain a certain oppressive posture against the Western Wu border. , can keep Wu Jun in tension all the time.

Gu Liang's injury is still unclear. After returning to Xingyang from Guping Army Town, he never showed up in public. Outsiders only know that this outstanding Zuo Junji is bedridden to recuperate.

In the Marshal's mansion, the scenery is vast.

Gu Liang sat on the rattan chair in the corridor, while Wang Yong stood aside, orderly repeating the urgent secret report sent by Pei Yue.

Gu Liang closed his eyes slightly, thought for a moment after listening, and smiled gently: "This child..."

Seeing this, Wang Yong said nervously: "Master Hou, is it possible that the young master's arrangement is not right?"

Gu Liang shook his head and said calmly: "There is nothing wrong with it, although it is unexpected, it is also reasonable."

At this time, Gu Fan and Gu Mang walked into the atrium side by side. Gu Fan said first: "Father, all the imperial physicians and guards sent by the capital have been taken down. Third brother and I interrogated together. Although the guards did not say a word, only a few imperial physicians They confessed one after another that they did plan to poison their father while treating his wounds, and found several kinds of poisons from their belongings. However, no matter how much the son forced them, these imperial physicians dared not reveal the mastermind behind the scenes."

Wang Yong was startled.

But Gu Liang said calmly: "If you don't dare to say it, you have already said it."

He slowly opened his eyes, the fierceness in his eyes flashed away, and he said in a deep voice: "Send Nan'an Hou Suwu to come to the commander-in-chief's mansion immediately to meet him."

The brothers of the Gu family were extremely excited, and said loudly: "Follow the order!"

Su Wu also stayed in Xingyang City during this time, but he only had hundreds of guards around him.Gu Liang asked Puding Marquis Chen Huan to take the southern camp of the Beijing army back to Beijing to rest, and then dismantled the west camp of the Beijing army in the name of strengthening border defense and sent them to various camps.Although Su Wu resisted somewhat, the opponent was Zuo Junji who also served as the coach of the Western Army, so there was no room for him to object.

After receiving the commander's order, Su Wu didn't think too much, and led more than ten personal guards to the commander's mansion. Just as he walked to the gate, he saw Tang Youzhi, the governor of Lingzhou, get off the carriage.

After the ceremony between the two, Su Wu asked calmly, "Does Marquis Tang know why Zuo Junji summoned him today?"

Tang Youzhi pondered and said: "I think it has something to do with the defense of the frontier army. Lord Su, please."

"Marquis Tang, please."

They walked into the Marshal's Mansion side by side, those personal guards were naturally not qualified to enter the mansion, and they all stayed on the street in front of the mansion.

Gu Mang personally led the two of them into the main hall. Su Wu felt a little puzzled, because he had seen Gu Liang three times during this period, and each time he was in the bedroom of the back house. meet guests.

He looked up and looked forward, his face suddenly changed.

The middle-aged man sitting on the main seat was Gu Liang, and judging from his appearance and expression, there was no sign of serious injury at all!

Su Wu subconsciously wanted to back away, but suddenly a long sword appeared and pressed against his vest.

Gu Fan's cold voice came from behind him: "Marquis of Nan'an, be safe and don't be impatient, otherwise the sword will have no eyes."

Su Wu forcibly calmed down, with a look of anger on his face, looked at Gu Liang and said, "Master Junji, what do you mean?"

Gu Liang got up slowly, walked closer step by step, and said leisurely: "Marquis of Nan'an, do you still remember the Battle of Nanshan, where there was a mistake in the position you were in charge of, which led to a cavalry from Western Wu raiding the Marquis' central army?"

Just as Su Wu was about to argue, he suddenly saw several soldiers escorting a middle-aged man into the main hall, his face suddenly panicked.

This person was his confidant, who was ordered to go to the capital to spread the word after the Battle of Nanshan, but he appeared here and now, which can only show that Gu Liang's injury was a situation, and he was prepared for himself!

Then he thought of an extremely terrifying fact, and there were bean-sized drops of sweat on his forehead, and he argued: "Zuo Junji, I am the commander-in-chief of the Beijing camp of a second-class country. Even if it hinders the military situation, it should be punished by your majesty and the court. Could it be you?" Do you want to use lynching?!"

Gu Liang didn't look at him, turned to Tang Youzhi and said, "I suddenly understand why Pei Yue killed Ning Zhong with his own hands in front of tens of thousands of soldiers."

Tang Youzhi said with emotion: "Brother Gu, today is different from the past."

Gu Liang understood, and changed the subject: "Please leave everything in Lingzhou to Brother Tang."

Tang Youzhi bowed his hands and said, "I will live up to my trust."

Su Wu stared at the two in a daze, as if falling into an invisible abyss in his heart.

The next day, when the people of Xingyang were completely unprepared, Guliang, the Zuojun Ji Guliang, who was said to be seriously injured, suddenly put on a guard of honor as an imperial envoy, and left the city under the escort of Zangfengwei and Lingzhou Zuowei.

Head east all the way to Kyoto.

……

Daliang Yaozhou, somewhere along the coast.

Chen Huacheng, the admiral of the Qinzhou Navy, stood on the pier, looked at the unattractive but dignified young military general in front of him, and said with a hearty smile: "Nephew Luo, after returning to Beijing this time, please replace me with Mr. Please say hello."

There was no sharp edge on Luo Ke's face, and he said respectfully: "Don't worry, Admiral, my nephew will definitely bring the words."

Chen Huacheng sighed: "Although I don't have much contact with your father, he is on the border of the western border and I am above the East China Sea. However, I often heard about his illustrious military exploits back then. I admire your father's ability and temperament very much. Although you are not in the army now. Yes, but as long as you can work hard with the Duke, you will have a bright future!"

After Wang Pingzhang's rebellion failed, Luo Huanzhang chose to plead guilty and committed suicide, and Dingjunhou's mansion was also expelled from the title, but Luo Kedi and his family were saved by Pei Yue.

Luo Kedi turned his head and glanced at the continuous ships on the sea, and said seriously: "My nephew will definitely remember what the admiral said."

Chen Huacheng nodded, and then said to Hu Dayou, the Commander of Pingbo Guard who was standing beside him: "Be careful on the road, and you must not make any mistakes. If you miss the important matter of the Duke, no one will be able to save you!"

Hu Dayou said seriously: "The general will understand, so I dare not delay for a moment."

Chen Huacheng waved his hand and watched the two of them board the ship. Then, under the protection of the naval warships, the fleet in the name of a merchant set sail and sailed northward along the long coastline of Daliang.

Chen Huacheng turned back and walked into the gazebo in the distance with the gentle sea breeze, looked at the slightly tired middle-aged man beside the stone table, touched his forehead and said, "Sir, are you really not going to Kyoto?"

Mr. Xi said calmly: "Brother Yue's way to break the situation is not in the capital."

Chen Huacheng showed a dazed look on his face. He was really not used to this kind of expert's speaking style, and he didn't understand the deep meaning of Mr. Xi's words.Although he didn't know the specific mission of Luo Kedi's trip to Kyoto this time, there were at least thousands of elites hidden in this fleet, and it was obviously a heavy responsibility.

Mr. Xi smiled lightly and explained: "The manpower that Luo Kedi brought to the capital is just a guarantee. After all, Brother Yue always prepares for the worst."

Chen Huacheng looked serious, sat down and said, "Sir, will the Duke be in danger in the capital?"

Mr. Xi nodded slightly.

Chen Huacheng's complexion changed, and he said suddenly: "Then what are you waiting for? Chen will immediately lead his troops to the north!"

Mr. Xi couldn't help laughing and said: "I didn't expect you to attach so much importance to Brother Yue's safety, but you can avoid it by leading troops to the north."

Chen Huacheng naturally disagreed, and Mr. Xi said calmly, "Anxin, even if he only has three thousand cavalry around him, no one in the capital can threaten him."

He paused, looked at the vast sea to the east and said, "Neither he nor I want to see the people and things on the boat come in handy."
