Invincible son

Chapter 748 747 [First confrontation]

Fang Yuntian, the eldest son of Fang Xie Xiao, Duke of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, is now the leader of the Pingjiang camp.

Pingjiang Town and the Fang family can be regarded as complementary. Starting from Fang Xiexiao's grandfather, the four generations of the Fang family have made their names in the southern land, making Pingjiang Town famous far and near, and at the same time making this town, which was originally only three The small town with more than a hundred households is getting bigger and bigger.Over the past hundred years, Pingjiang Town has become a big city with more than [-] people from more than [-] households.

The Fang family has made great contributions to the development of Pingjiang, and the latter is also nurturing the Fang family. This is the well-known trapping camp.

This battalion is all Pingjiang's children, although they only maintain a standing force of 5000, they are unique heavy infantry fighters in the world.In order to avoid suspicion from the ruling and opposition parties and even the palace, Fang Xie Xiao strictly ordered that the camp should not exceed 5000 people. However, under the current situation, even the Emperor of the Southern Zhou Dynasty had repeatedly hinted to Fang Xie Xiao to expand his troops.

The reason is very simple. Once the Northern Liang army goes south, falling into the camp is the most reliable and resolute rock against that torrent.

The base of the trapped camp is located more than [-] miles east of the Chengbei camp, forming a corner with this most important camp.More than ten years ago, Gu Liang led the army across the Tiancang River. The reason why they stopped the offensive after capturing the three cities of Jiangling was because the vanguard army was too aggressive and suffered heavy losses in the frontal confrontation with the trapped camp.

Fang Yuntian joined the army at the age of 17. At first, he was just a pawn in the camp, and then he climbed up step by step, and finally took over his father's burden and became the general.

14 years in the army is enough for an immature boy to grow into a calm and introverted general, just like Fang Yuntian who is neither humble nor overbearing when facing Pei Yue at this moment.

The afternoon sun was still dazzling, Pei Yue held the rein with one hand, and looked at the other party expressionlessly.

He could feel Fang Yuntian's unrestrained aura. In fact, as a person who has lived in modern society, no one pays more attention to information collection than Pei Yue.When he was in Lingzhou, he tried every means to find information on the monarchs and ministers of the Western Wu Dynasty, and he will not ignore this matter when he goes south.

Before he arrived in Puqi City, he already had an extremely detailed list of people in the Southern Zhou dynasty, which recorded the detailed lives of those people, and even some trivial things that ordinary people thought were insignificant were not omitted.On this form, there are four people who are tied for the first place, namely the Emperor of Southern Zhou Dynasty, the chief assistant Xu Huiyan, Fang Xie Xiao, the Duke of Zhenguo, and Xian Chunqiu, Marquis of the North.

And in the list of the second level, Fang Yuntian ranked first.

This person was indeed as described in the form, tall and strong with long arms and a vigorous body, with a face as flat as a lake and a thunderous heart.

Time passed quietly, and although the atmosphere wasn't tense, it certainly wasn't harmonious either.Sheng Duanming didn't blow his beard and stare, and looked at the distant scenery leisurely. Xu Ziping opposite him was more calm, as if he was just a pedestrian passing by.

Looking at Fang Yuntian's calm face, Pei Yue suddenly smiled and asked, "Did Fang Rui's fallen leaves return to their roots?"

Fang Yuntian did not expect to hear this name from the other party, but he did not show the slightest panic, and said calmly: "I buried him myself."

"Alright, actually, I couldn't bear it when I did it." Pei Yue sighed lightly.

Fang Yuntian stared slightly, he didn't want to get too entangled in this topic, after all, it was the Pingjiang Fang family who took the initiative to stir up the civil strife in Beiliang, and it was different from Fang Yunhu who had an excuse, Fang Rui brought [-] dead men Going north is an indisputable fact.

He quickly calmed down and said calmly: "Pei Zhengshi, the two countries have formally signed a treaty of friendship, and the marriage is about to take place. My Majesty will never let your embassy have any security concerns. However, This is already the land of the Zhou Dynasty, so it would be a little inappropriate for you to bring a thousand cavalry into the country."

Pei Yue said calmly, "It makes sense."

Fang Yuntian was puzzled, although it was more a matter of face, after all, even the most timid courtiers in the court did not think that these thousand cavalry could cause any trouble, but he did not expect that Pei Yue would really bow his head. It's not like the other party's style.

Thinking of this, Fang Yuntian became vigilant, and said tentatively: "Envoy Pei Zheng is reasonable, I admire you."

Pei Yue shook his head and said: "General Fang, don't worry, I'm very reasonable, and I'm more particular about coming and going without being indecent."

Fang Yuntian already realized what he wanted to say, but he couldn't stop the conversation.

It can only be blamed that Fang Rui listened to the arrangement of Chen's daughter and insisted on attacking a Zhuangzi who had nothing to do with the overall situation. If it hadn't been for that, Pei Yue wouldn't be able to climb so fast even if he could get ahead.

Sure enough, Pei Yue said slowly: "Back then, Fang Rui led 800 people in Daliang without hindrance. Why did General Fang cause trouble today? Although I brought 200 more cavalry, compared to their sneakiness, my trip At least it's aboveboard, right?"

Fang Yuntian remained silent.

He discussed this matter with Xu Ziping when he came here, because according to the news from the previous detailed work and Xu Ziping's experience in Beiliang Capital, Pei Yue is a person who likes to flip tables, of course he does have the confidence and qualifications, but If he is allowed to act unscrupulously in Jian'an City, it may seriously hit the people who are already unstable in the government and the opposition.

So today he must let Pei Yue go crazy first, to test the other party's true temperament and bottom line.

This marriage between the two countries is not only a restoration of relations, but also a struggle that cannot see the smoke of gunpowder, and it is doomed to be unsettled from the very beginning.

Pei Yue looked at Fang Yuntian and Xu Ziping's gradually serious expressions, and said with a light smile: "General Fang, although I am a rough man, I also understand a simple truth, the so-called state officials set fires but did not allow the common people to light lamps, this kind of behavior The method must be wrong. I didn't want to bring out those old things, but you just want to give me a bad blow, haha."

Listening to these words, Xu Ziping couldn't help but think of the scene when he was negotiating in Beijing in Beiliang.

Fang Yuntian weighed the pros and cons, and finally decided not to give Pei Yue a chance to escalate the situation, so he said calmly: "This matter is not well thought out. Pei Zhengshi, Sheng Fushi, please don't be offended."

Pei Yue didn't take it seriously, but he raised Fang Yuntian's evaluation slightly in his heart.

No wonder Shen Danmo wrote in the secret letter: Of the five tigers in the Fang family, only the eldest son is worthy of the big responsibility.

This is obviously from Silent Cloud's judgment.

Pei Yue said calmly: "It's not that serious. It's just that I have to remind General Fang that the marriage is related to the relationship between the two countries. Before you make a decision next time, you'd better think about your majesty's wishes." .”

"I would like to be taught." Fang Yuntian bowed his hands, his demeanor was calm enough, and then he said: "Pei Zhengshi, your nobles can follow the mission to enter the country, but they can't get close to Jian'an City, and they will be accompanied by a part of our army during the whole process."

This is the proper meaning of the question. Pei Yue is not so arrogant that he can't tell the reality. After all, this is someone else's territory. He slightly nodded and said: "There is nothing you can do."

Speaking of this, the two sides have already completed a simple negotiation. As for the details, the officials below are of course responsible.

When Fang Yuntian was about to leave, Pei Yue suddenly asked, "General Fang, is your father still in good health?"

"Thank you Pei Zheng for remembering, my father is fine." Fang Yuntian said neither humble nor overbearing.

After he and Xu Ziping rode their horses back, Sheng Duanming sighed suddenly.

Pei Yue looked at the old master in confusion, thinking what's the matter with your old man's resentful face?

Sheng Duanming said with emotion: "Pei Hou, I heard that you are not married yet?"

Pei Yue couldn't help but said: "My lord, do you have a granddaughter who is waiting in your boudoir?"

Sheng Duanming stared and said, "What is one? This old man has five good granddaughters!"

Pei Yue couldn't help giving him a thumbs up, and then said with a chuckle: "The younger generation is engaged, and will get married at the end of the year. I hope the old man will show his face and drink a glass of water."

Sheng Duanming said regretfully: "As long as you, Marquis Pei, dare to post a post, the old man will naturally dare to go."

Pei Yue laughed heartily, turned the horse's head and said loudly: "Then it's a deal."

Sheng Duanming looked at his tall and straight back, and secretly sighed in his heart: He is obviously the seed of a famous minister, how could he become a martial artist?
A few months ago, he still thought that Pei Yue was young and frivolous and domineering, and His Majesty valued such a young man as noble and unfavorable to the country. However, Pei Yue's performance in the follow-up negotiation case, his benevolence in Qinzhou's severe drought, and the ease with which he suppressed the other party today His actions have completely changed the old pedant's opinion of him.

It's a pity that he hasn't read a few books and doesn't understand the principles of sages, otherwise he might not be a generation of famous ministers.

Sheng Duanming shook his head and followed with great regret.
