Invincible son

Chapter 361 360

Midsummer, breeze.

Linqing County.

There is a place in the east of the city that was originally the garrison of the Xiang army, where guerrilla Yu Zheng spent the most comfortable and comfortable nine years of his life, but his good luck has disappeared since June.As Pei Yue designated Linqing as the temporary residence of the Zangfengwei, Yu Zheng had to move out of the city with his subordinates and stationed in a camp to the west.

The Yan family warmly welcomed the arrival of Zang Fengwei. Not only did they take the seriously injured in the battle of Qishanchong to their homes for recuperation immediately, but they also cooperated with Mo Qingyun, the county magistrate, to expand and renovate the camp. demonstrate its own strength.You must know that Linqing is the richest county in Lingzhou, and the Yan family is the largest gentry and landlord in Linqing. Their family assets are more than tens of millions. Naturally, this amount of money is nothing. relationship between.

Now Pei Yue's reputation in Lingzhou is in full swing, especially in Xingyang City, he used himself as a bait to wipe out the spies of Western Wu and the scum of Daliang. The news spread throughout Lingzhou like wings.

Yan Linchuan seems to be old and dope, but in fact his mind is clear. He has already concluded that this young dignitary will soar into the sky. As long as he doesn't get hotheaded and anger the emperor, no one will be able to stop his progress in the future.According to the analysis of the news from Kyoto, Luo Ting and Hou Guliang of Guangping both valued him very much, and Taishi Taige Mo Yun's attitude was also quite ambiguous. With the support of these three people, Pei Yue's future is bright and limitless.

If we don't build up good relations at this time, should we wait until he returns to the capital to become an official and become a nobleman before going to the hot stove?
Yan Linchuan's methods should not be so shallow, not to mention that the honeycomb coal mine is just outside Linqing City, and there are still many places where the two sides can cooperate in the future.

The wages offered by the Yan family were extremely generous, craftsmen from the surrounding prefectures and even Xingyang City flocked in droves, and the folk husbands were even more crowded. The construction of the Zangfengwei camp continued day and night at an unimaginable speed.

The entire camp was remodeled and expanded on the scale of the original Xiang army garrison. The main buildings include barracks, warehouses, stables and school grounds.

Mo Qingyun is the director of construction. This young scholar from the Mo family in Yuzhou has long since cast aside his prejudices, especially after seeing what Pei Yue did with his own eyes. With silver support, a complete, solid, simple and comfortable camp appeared in Linqing City.

In the meeting hall, Pei Yue asked Yan Linchuan to sit at the main seat, and the eldest son Yan Shiqiao Su, who had been beaten up by Deng Zai, stood beside him.

Prime Minister Pei Yueci accompanied him, while Mo Qingyun sat opposite him.

Yan Linchuan looked at Pei Yue's young and steady face, and said with emotion: "The imperial court has always recruited soldiers from different places, and the garrisons of the Fourth Battalion on the border and Hucheng were all recruited from the inland state capital. We Lingzhou men can only go to the south to fight. , wanting to protect the land of hometown is powerless. Now His Majesty has given permission to open an opening, so this Linqing City will be overcrowded, the Lord still needs to make a selection."

Pei Yue was not surprised that the other party would say these words. He had never underestimated an old official who could reach the top of the civil service, but he was a little surprised that Yan Linchuan would take the initiative to help him cool down. It seems that he really wanted it sincerely. and board a boat with myself.

After arriving in Linqing, Pei Yue lived in seclusion these days and left all the recruitment matters to Wei Rui and others.It wasn't that he deliberately wanted to put on airs, but that those young talents who came here for fame were too enthusiastic, and even held him to a high position, which made him vigilant.Throughout the historical records, the master of high meritorious deeds has always been the way to death. Although he is not yet enough to make Emperor Kaiping fear, but this kind of sign has to be guarded against. Building high walls and accumulating food is the kingly way.

Yan Linchuan's remarks naturally attributed the situation in Linqing City to the emperor. After his words spread, it would be difficult for anyone with a heart to use this to attack Pei Yue.

Pei Yue nodded with a smile and said, "Your Majesty's words are very true. Daliang has a vast territory and the border situation is critical. Your Majesty also saw this clearly and adjusted the strategy temporarily. As ministers, we only need to fulfill Your Majesty's instructions."

Mo Qingyun looked at Pei Yue with piercing eyes, and said with admiration: "Your Majesty has a far-sighted vision and vision that no one can match. There is no doubt about it. However, the lower officials think that the people in Lingzhou are eager to serve the country at the moment, and it is inseparable from Lord Pei. If not Lord Sir has swept away the small towns in Lingzhou with a thunderbolt, created a stable rear for the frontier army, and at the same time inspired the common hatred of the people of Lingzhou, so the recruiting and other things will not go so smoothly."

Pei Yue and Yan Linchuan looked at each other, then smiled calmly and said, "Master Mo is ridiculous."

Yan Linchuan changed the subject and said, "How does the imperial envoy view the border war?"

Pei Yue said humbly: "My lord, if you don't dislike me, just call me by my name."

Yan Linchuan shook his head and smiled, "You are an imperial envoy handpicked by the emperor, how can you do that?"

Pei Yue was amused, because Qin Xu has been meeting you a lot in the past few days, why don't you see that you are an imperial envoy, but you always put on the airs of the former ruling in front of him.Naturally, he would not point out this matter, and said with a smile: "After all, I am still young, and I think the censors in the court will not be embarrassed by such trivial matters."

Yan Linchuan nodded and said, "I don't know what your sign is?"

Pei Yue replied: "The characters haven't been taken yet."

Without waiting for the two to ask, he said again: "I plan to ask Mr. to preside over the crowning ceremony for me after I return to Beijing, and then I will formally select the characters."

Yan Linchuan nodded and said yes, but he felt a little regretful. It is naturally appropriate to use his identity to give Pei Yue a name, and he himself is very willing. Having this relationship means that the Yan family will get a great boost in the army.

Pei Yue continued the topic just now and said: "Western Wu people have prepared their troops and horses for many years, and the war will not stop easily. In the south, Zhang Qingbai suffered a heavy loss in Jiming Village, and will not attack by force in a short time. In the north, Xie Lin and Yu Beisao Jiangpan is eyeing the tiger, and he will not rush to advance the army. Now both sides are competing for patience and looking for opportunities, as long as our frontier army can stabilize our position, it will be more beneficial for us to judge the situation from a long-term perspective."

Mo Qingyun nodded in conviction, but Yan Linchuan was slightly worried.

At this moment, Deng Zai hurried in, with an extremely ugly expression on his face.

"My lord, the Governor's Mansion has sent someone to send an urgent report on the military situation at the border."

"Say."

Deng Zai glanced at the other two, and said in a deep voice: "Five days ago, Wuwei Hou Ningzhong led his army to attack and fought against the headquarters of Xiwu coach Zhang Qingbai thirty miles south of Lulongzhai. The battle lasted for three hours. They were defeated and returned, with more than [-] casualties. Marquis Wuwei led the army back to Nanshanzhai, Zhang Qingbai sent his troops eastward, taking advantage of the situation to capture Lulongzhai, and now the soldiers are pointing directly at Jimingzhai and Nanshanzhai."

Mo Qingyun got up suddenly, Yan Linchuan's face was gloomy.

Pei Yue looked at Deng Zai quietly, and said slowly: "Send Wei Rui and others to come here for military discussion immediately."

"Yes!"
