Invincible son

Chapter 733 732 [Jiangnan Jiangbei]

Flying egrets in the desert paddy fields, yin-yin summer woods and oriole.

The beauty of Jiangnan lies in the unique charm of the water town, just like the melodious song of picking lotus in the sound of oars and lights.The climate here is pleasant and the land is rich, so the towns are densely populated and prosperous, unlike the desolation and majesty of the Gaoyang Plain in the west of the mainland.

When Xu Ziping saw the familiar and intimate scenes of his homeland again, he couldn't help but feel a sense of eternity in his heart.

Xu Shi's thoughts are inevitably complicated in middle age. Recalling what he saw and heard in Beijing in Beiliang, and the in-depth conversation he had with Fang Xie Xiao, the Duke of Zhenguo, when he left Muyang Mansion on the south bank of the Tiancang River, Xu Ziping couldn't help but His face looked grave.

In fact, he at least fulfilled his mission this time. Even though the Beiliang court stepped on his bottom line to sign the covenant, compared to the strength gap between the two countries, this kind of humiliation can be done on their own.

But marriage can really avoid the coming of war?

Once upon a time, Xu Ziping was a supporter of this view, but now he is increasingly doubting the feasibility of this matter.

The carriage was driving on the flat official road, and there were occasional conversations and laughter from pedestrians outside. Even if the curtains were not lifted, Xu Ziping still had a harmonious picture of the peaceful years in front of his eyes.

"Uncle, Beiliang is too busy to take care of himself now, maybe they just want to take some advantage, this time is not a plan to slow down the army." Xu Churong said softly, this trip to the north not only made her more knowledgeable, but also made her understand Xu Ziping's difficulties.

Xu Ziping said calmly: "You mean the drought in Qinzhou and other places in Beiliang?"

Once back and forth, the Southern Zhou Mission passed by Qinzhou twice. Even if it was not convenient to check carefully, they could get a general glimpse of the situation on the side of the road.

Xu Churong nodded and said, "I think this should be the most important reason why the Beiliang court agreed to sign the covenant."

Xu Ziping sighed softly: "It can be delayed for a while, but the emperor of Beiliang made Pei Yue the envoy to welcome the relatives, and left the capital with us.

Xu Churong was slightly taken aback, and asked puzzledly: "Uncle, does Pei Yue know how to provide disaster relief?"

Xu Ziping said with a complicated mood: "It doesn't matter if he doesn't understand, the Emperor Beiliang only needs to rely on his murderous nature. That's all, after all, it's a problem that they should worry about. Chu Rong, I thought you wouldn't hear the name Pei Yue anymore, I didn't expect you to remain calm, so it can be seen that Huiyan's precepts and deeds over the years have been quite effective."

What happened in Qinyuan was obviously not a secret. After all, Xu Churong was still young, and when he left Beiliang Jingdu, there was still a bit of anger in his eyes.

She has been the apple of the eye of chief assistant Xu Huiyan since she was a child. It is not an exaggeration to say that she grew up in an environment surrounded by stars. When did she suffer that kind of humiliation?The big and small dudes in Jian'an City didn't even dare to talk about her behind their backs. Even if some people were not afraid of Xu Huiyan's power, they didn't want to provoke Qinghe Xu's famous poetry and book family.

After all, what the Xu family lacks most is the Confucian classics, the righteous scholars and the literary talents. When the time comes to scold you in the article, I am afraid that the whole family will be stigmatized for thousands of years.

Hearing his uncle's joke, Xu Churong curled his lips slightly and said, "Naturally I was very angry at that time, because I didn't do anything, and it was obviously those Beiliang dandies who took the initiative to provoke me. Later I realized that Pei Yue, as a member of Liang, could he still count on him? Can you help me get started?"

Xu Ziping was a little surprised. In his impression, this little niece was not so easy to talk to.

Xu Churong continued: "He is from Liang and I am from Zhou, and our respective positions are very clear. I was humiliated in Beiliang Jingdu, and I can understand how he beat me up, even if I was very angry. When he comes to Jian'an City, he has to pay some price. "

It turned out to be the case.

Xu Ziping asked with a smile: "Then what are you going to do?"

Xu Churong said lightly: "It's not rude to come and not go."

Xu Ziping didn't say anything to dissuade him, because in his opinion, Pei Yue was indeed too biased in this matter, and he didn't give Qinghe Xu family any face at all, so it was only natural for Xu Churong to want revenge.

In addition, there was a deeper reason. He thought over and over on the way back, and gradually understood Xu Huiyan's real intention for Xu Churong to go north.

At this moment, he couldn't help but think of what Fang Xiexiao said very solemnly when he left Muyang Mansion.

"Brother Xu, if you want to reverse the situation between the two countries, this is the best chance and also the last chance."

……

Daliang was heavily assembled on the north bank of the Tiancang River. From east to west, there were Gulei Camp and Yaoshan Camp in Yaozhou, Zhennan Camp and Qinian Camp in Dingzhou, Changping Camp in Sizhou, and then Together with the Dingzhou navy built by Gu Liang, it constitutes the main force of the entire southern army.

Among them, the Zhennan Camp and the Yaoshan Camp are the most powerful, especially the Zhennan Camp behind the water village of the Dingzhou Navy, which can be called the nightmare of many soldiers in the Southern Zhou Dynasty.

In terms of inheritance and history alone, Zhennan Daying can be regarded as the best among Daliang's million troops.Back then, Dingguo Duke Pei Yuan personally led an army to march south, sweeping thousands of miles of territory in more than a year.It's a pity that when he was preparing to cross the Tiancang River in the south, the news that Emperor Gaozu was seriously ill suddenly came from the capital. The Dingguo Duke had to keep his most elite [-] troops in Dingzhou to prevent the Southern Zhou Dynasty from making a comeback. Then he galloped back to Kyoto with hundreds of soldiers in the starry night.

These 3 people are the predecessor of Zhennan Camp.

The wind is always blown away by the rain and the wind. Naturally, Zhennan Daying has not been able to maintain its scenery for nearly a hundred years.Especially 36 years ago, Xian Chunqiu, who was then the commander of the Yaoshan Camp, defected to the Southern Zhou Dynasty. Then, under his suggestion, the late Emperor of the Southern Zhou Dynasty decided to take Puqi City, which was guarded by the Zhennan Camp, as the main direction of attack.

That period of time was a humiliation that the old people in Zhennan Daying did not want to recall.

Xian Chunqiu's understanding of the Southern Army of Daliang was not weaker than that of Gu Liang. He knew the military style of all the generals in Daliang like the palm of his hand, and he defeated Liang's army steadily in the past ten years.

If Wang Pingzhang and Gu Liang had not successively taken over the Southern Army and recaptured Dingzhou and Yaozhou, the Cangjiang River would have become an inland river in the Southern Zhou Dynasty today.

Because of this, the drills of the soldiers of the Zhennan Daying Camp after knowing their shame and then being brave can be called cruel.

The sun was scorching hot, in a military stronghold southeast of Puqi City, nearly a thousand soldiers were practicing battle formation.

A young sentry officer stood in front of his subordinates, beads of sweat kept rolling down his face, but even though the sweat trickled into his eyes, he remained motionless.That pair of romantic and handsome peach blossom eyes looked at the soldiers in front of him sternly, and his handsome face was tanned into a bronze color, and on the contrary, he looked a little more brave.

Half a year ago, this handsome young man became their colleague.

Because of his handsome appearance, some rough men in the army always liked to verbally ridicule and sneer, but he never argued.Until one day, a sentry officer relied on his status to bully others, but was punched by this young man and flew several feet away.

From then on, no one in the military village dared to act presumptuously in front of him.

Everyone thought that this guy would be kicked out of the barracks, but they didn't expect that the commander in chief of the camp would send a person to have a secret talk with the commander of the barracks, after which nothing happened.

Two months later, this young man with unfathomable martial arts practiced by virtue of his excellent performance in the drills, was logically appointed as a sentry officer, with a hundred soldiers under his command.

The sun was setting and the day's practice was finally over. After the young man organized the team as usual, he returned to his residence.

"Brother Gu, tomorrow I'm going into the city to buy ingredients, do you want me to bring something for you?" The quartermaster walked into the simple tent quite familiarly, and said with a smile.

The young man looked up at him and said calmly, "No need."

The quartermaster rubbed his hands and said in a low voice, "How about bringing you two jugs of shochu?"

The young man shook his head and said, "Thank you, no need."

The quartermaster had no choice but to give up, and at the same time muttered to himself, could this young master really be the son of Master Gu?It looks a bit like this demeanor, but how could the son of Lord Gu Hou be a small sentinel?Forget it, this kind of person must come from an extraordinary background, just be more careful.

Just as he turned to leave, the young man suddenly said, "If it's convenient, please ask me something."

The quartermaster smiled very cordially and said: "If there is any trouble between us brothers, don't bother, brother Gu just ask."

The young man said: "Last time you said that Nan Zhou sent people to the capital, please help me inquire about the follow-up of this incident."

The quartermaster responded respectfully.

After he left, the young man did not rest, but sat in front of the ordinary table, took out a piece of paper from a military book, and gradually outlined the shape of a map on it.

But it is not a topographic map of the territory in Daliang.

His name is Gu Fan, the son of Guangping Hou Guliang, and now he is an ordinary sentry officer under the right army of Ninghaiwei in the southern camp of Zhennan.

The light of the past has all converged, like a famous sword hidden in its sheath.

Waiting to see the light of day again.
