Invincible son

Chapter 295 294 [Commander]

Kaiping five years, the tenth day of July.

Two days before the Western Wu army captured Daokouzhai.

In the Imperial City of Daliang Capital, there is a side hall of Liangyi Hall.

Emperor Kaiping looked calm, and there were two memorials on the imperial case in front of him.

The important ministers of the two governments and six ministers gathered in the hall, as well as Guo Kaishan, the new governor of the Five Armies, Qi Yunhou Yinwei, the commander of the Beijing Army's North Camp, Li Bingzhong, the commander of the South Camp, and Changxing Hou Qujiang, the commander of the West Camp.

Today is not very imperial, it was originally a day of vacation authorized by Emperor Kaiping, so many civil servants and generals were temporarily called into the palace because of the two memorials placed on the imperial case.Emperor Kaiping glanced at the crowd, and said calmly: "The two memorials are one after the other. Although they are talking about the same thing, their attitudes are completely opposite. You have all heard the content of the memorial, discuss it."

These two memorials were sent from Lingzhou on a fast horse of [-] li. The former one was written by the imperial envoy Qin Xu, explaining the difficulties encountered by the Charcoal Temple, the appearance of the cavalry from the Badao Battalion in the Western Wu Dynasty, and Pei Yue's response to the imperial envoy Qin Xu. It is speculated that the people of Western Wu are about to commit crimes on a large scale.The latter was written by Lingzhou Inspector Xue Tao, who bluntly stated that the [-] cavalry were just scabies, and the Guping camp would be wiped out soon, so the court need not worry. Neither Hucheng nor the outlying army villages noticed any changes from the West Wu people.

All the ministers were thinking in silence, and no one was in a hurry to express their opinions.

There is no absolute distinction between the authenticity and the falsehood of the two memorials, because both Pei Yue and Xue Tao are only judging from the existing conditions, but it is difficult to accept such ambiguous answers in the court, because it involves specific The strategic arrangement must have an accurate analysis.

Without knowing the local situation in Lingzhou, no one wants to be this early bird.

Emperor Kaiping seemed to have expected this situation a long time ago, and said unhurriedly: "Qi Yunhou, you were the commander of the Guping camp before, and you should be familiar with Lingzhou. What do you think of these two memorials?"

Yin Wei, the father of Yin Dao, bowed his hands and said: "Your Majesty, in the past years, there were many spies sent by Western Wu to Lingzhou. I even found some in the barracks and executed them all. But such a small group of cavalry has never appeared. Considering The importance of Hucheng, and the reason why the Western Wu court could not give up coveting this city, I think Pei Yue's guess is not unreasonable."

Some people couldn't help but look sideways after hearing these words.

As we all know, Pei Yue broke out from the Dingguo Mansion and turned against Pei Rong and his son.Yin Wei, as Pei Rong's closest old friend these years, would actually speak for Pei Yue at this time. Could it be that this Marquis of Qi Yun has abandoned the Pei family?

However, Emperor Kaiping did not express his dissatisfaction, but instead said with some approval: "As you said, how should the imperial court respond?"

Yin Wei bowed his head and said: "I am just telling the truth what I know, how to deal with it is naturally up to His Majesty Qiankun to decide."

Emperor Kaiping became more and more satisfied, and he showed a rare smile and asked, "How does the West Mansion look at this matter?"

Wei Guogong Wang Pingzhang bowed slightly and said: "Your Majesty, according to the old minister's humble opinion, it is time to invent a decree to order the fourth battalion on the border to take precautions, to order the defenders of Hucheng to act cautiously, and to order the governor's office of Lingzhou to stabilize the situation in the territory as soon as possible. At the same time, Dongfu or Food, grass and military equipment can be raised in advance to prevent Western Wu from suddenly provoking a war."

Emperor Kaiping nodded and said, "Good."

At this time, Luo Ting, who was in power on the right, went out to play and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

"Say it."

"Qin Sijian clearly stated in the memorial that the Lingzhou Coal Mine could not be exploited for a long time, and the mine could not be built because there were horse bandits in the Qingyu Mountain not far from the coal mine. What I didn't understand was that there was a Guping Great Wall in the southwest of Dongqing Mansion. There are Longbow camps in the northwest, and there are more than one hundred thousand soldiers stationed in the two camps, why would you allow a group of horse bandits to get away with it?"

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became serious.

Lingzhou has a vast territory and is on the front line facing Western Wu. He has served as the governor of the thirteen prefectures with great power.Qin Xu and Pei Yue went very smoothly in Yongzhou and Yunzhou before, but there was no movement after arriving in Lingzhou. In fact, it was not without criticism from the court, but they were forcibly suppressed by Luo Ting.

The twists and turns here are not a secret, although Xue Tao's thoughts are a little out of bounds, but for the sake of his 20 years of guarding Lingzhou, Emperor Kaiping did not lose his temper.Hearing Luo Ting's blunt question at this moment, the emperor slightly frowned and said, "What do you think is the reason?"

Luo Ting said frankly: "I don't know. But since Lingzhou is not peaceful and the frontier army can't be dispatched easily, I think it's okay to leave these matters to Pei Yue."

Emperor Kaiping looked at him with complicated eyes, and suddenly relaxed after a while, and said with a smile: "Do you want Pei Yueshi to lead the Zangfengwei?"

Luo Ting said sternly: "Your Majesty, in the battle outside Linqing County, Pei Yue led 400 people and easily defeated [-] horse bandits, and then he did not lose in the duel with the Badao Battalion of Xiwu. This shows that he has the qualifications to lead an army. Ability. Now that the border situation is unpredictable, it is time to employ people, so why waste his leading ability for a young and promising martial artist like Pei Yue?"

Emperor Kaiping looked to Wu Xun's side, and asked lightly: "What do you think of Luo Qing's family's proposal?"

Li Bingzhong's face was dull and he didn't speak.

Although Yin Wei spoke for Pei Yue before, he was unwilling to express his opinion at the moment.

As for Chengyi Hou Guo Kaishan and Changxing Hou Qujiang, they would naturally not agree with this proposal.

The reason is very simple, they all know the significance of Zang Fengwei's appearance, who would just watch this sweet pastry fall into Pei Yue's hands?Even if he is not suitable to lead an army, at least he must be held in the hands of a close general.

Cheng Anhou Lu Min was about to speak, but Wang Pingzhang in front of him was one step ahead. The old man who had been in charge of Daliang military affairs for more than ten years straightened his back and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Luo's proposal to be in power is quite reasonable. You can order Pei Yue to take over temporarily." The Commander of Zangfengwei recruited troops on the spot in Lingzhou, and all the military equipment and food will be supplied by the Governor's Office of the Five Armies. If he can make a contribution in the future, then the word "temporary" will be removed."

This is a mature and prudent speech, especially after Emperor Kaiping showed his inclination, it would be unwise to veto Luo Ting's proposal.After all, Pei Yue has made great contributions to the matter of honeycomb briquettes in the past year, and the imperial court has never awarded him a reward. If he can be dismissed with only one guard commander, and his title will not be promoted, it is actually a very good deal.

So what if Zang Fengwei has a special meaning?

From the perspective of Wang Pingzhang, it is difficult to have an impact on the overall situation.

Emperor Kaiping said slowly: "Yes."

Lu Min lowered his head slightly, staring at the ground expressionlessly, only a sneer appeared in the depths of his eyes.

Not long ago, he received a secret letter from Lingzhou, so he knew better than everyone in the palace what earth-shattering events would happen in the western region.

After more than ten years of painstaking and solitary planning in secret, no one can understand how turbulent his heart is at the moment when he is about to see the sun.
