Invincible son

Chapter 846 845 [It is appropriate to be brave]

Inside the main hall, the lights are bright.

After Pei Yue came in, a group of people immediately stood up to greet him.

Headed by Baoding Bo Caiqian, the guard of Jiangling, followed by Li Jin, commander of Yanshan Guard, Gu Jie, commander of Jingjiang Guard, Tang Linfen, deputy commander of Zangfeng Guard, Gu Fan, Deng Zai and two commanders under Cai Qian's command. here.

Everyone said in unison: "See the Marquis of Zhongshan!"

Pei Yue said calmly: "No, please sit down, everyone."

The soldiers served tea again, and then exchanged pleasantries.

Looking at Pei Yue's young and handsome face, Cai Qian felt infinite emotion in his heart.Back then when he became an earl and took the seat in Jiangling City, he was full of pride in his heart, and only hoped that he could establish meritorious deeds again and make the Cai family a family of martial arts nobles.Later, when I heard that Guochao won a big victory in the western region, the key person turned out to be a young bastard, so I couldn't help but sighed many times with complicated emotions.

When Pei Yue traveled southward via Jiangling, the two had a simple meeting. Although Pei Yue was calm and open-minded, without the arrogance and domineering of young dignitaries, Cai Qian still couldn't calm down, because Pei Yue was already an old man at that time. Waiting for a prince, but not half his age.

After the Battle of Jiangling broke out, although he tried his best to cooperate with Pei Yue's strategy, it was only based on the overall situation, not because he was convinced by the opponent.

Until this moment, witnessing the collapse of more than [-] troops in the Southern Zhou Dynasty, the Baoding Bo, who was in the heart of the emperor, recognized Pei Yue's ability from the bottom of his heart, so he praised: "Pei Hou turned the tide this time. To destroy the ambitions of the Southern Zhou Dynasty is indeed the mainstay of the country, and the lower officials admire it the most."

After saying a word, most of the people in the hall looked very pleased, but the two conductors under Cai Qian's command smiled a little reluctantly.

But Pei Yue shook his head and said, "Uncle Cai's words are wrong."

Cai Qian froze for a moment, thinking that although I was not enthusiastic about you before, I was not rude to you, and now I am so humble. Are you still not satisfied?

The two commanders were even more surprised.

Pei Yue had a panoramic view of everyone's reactions, then looked at Cai Qian, and said sternly: "The key to winning the Battle of Jiangling is that Uncle Cai commanded well, and the soldiers in the city fought desperately. If you hadn't defended the battle for more than ten days The city walls repel the enemy's offensive again and again, which greatly consumes the strength and morale of the opponent, and I can't directly attack the central army."

After being astonished, Cai Qian and the two conductors smiled at the same time.

Pei Yue continued: "Therefore, the first contribution in this battle lies with the officers and men who tried their best to protect Jiangling. I will personally write the memorial, and Uncle Cai should be the first."

Cai Qian refused again and again: "Master Hou, don't do this. If you hadn't guessed Fang Xiexiao's conspiracy in advance, and then led the army to make a surprise attack at a critical moment, we would never have won this big victory."

Pei Yue smiled gently and said, "Your Excellency, please don't be humble. Your Majesty is well versed in military affairs, and can see the key to this battle even thousands of miles away."

Cai Qian became more and more surprised. As Pei Yue moved out of the name of Emperor Kaiping, he couldn't continue to insist. Then he felt that this young dignitary was particularly pleasing to the eye, and secretly sighed that it was no fluke that the other party was able to occupy a high position at such a young age.

With the distribution of the most important military exploits completed, the atmosphere in the hall became extremely harmonious and warm.

Tang Linfen took advantage of the situation and asked: "Master Hou, now that the Southern Zhou Dynasty has returned from a big defeat, and the morale of the army has fallen to the bottom, should we take advantage of the victory and pursue it? If we don't take advantage of this opportunity to directly capture the Chengbei barracks, then we can turn to threats at that time." Wuwei and other important towns in the east. Nanzhou has lost so many elites this time, they can only retreat to Shimen Pass."

Pei Yue took a sip from the teacup, shook his head and said, "No, we want to let the tiger go back to the mountain."

Tang Linfen was at a loss for words immediately, and the others showed contemplative expressions.

Pei Yue turned to look at his future brother-in-law, and asked with a smile, "What do you think, brother?"

This title made Gu Jie feel very comfortable, and at the same time, he could hear the deep meaning in Pei Yue's words, and said calmly: "What Peihou said is quite appropriate. Although we have won a big victory this time, the troops in the city are limited and it will take some time We can't rush forward. The most important thing is that the northern river defense is still in the hands of the Southern Zhou Navy. If the Dingzhou Navy doesn't move out, it will be difficult for us to get support."

Pei Yue nodded in greeting, and then continued Gu Jie's words and said: "If we continue to advance south at this time, then when the Southern Zhou Dynasty faces huge external pressure, it will inevitably be twisted together. Don't forget, everyone, this time the Southern Zhou Dynasty It was a sneak attack on Jiangling City, at most only the emperor, Xu Huiyan, and Fang Xiexiao knew the inside story, which means that there will definitely be conflicts and struggles among them."

He put down the teacup, and said confidently: "We tighten the noose, and they will struggle desperately for their lives, but as long as we give each other a little room to breathe, what will happen?"

Cai Qian said understandingly: "This time the Southern Zhou Dynasty suddenly sent troops to attack. Fang Xiexiao ruined the results of the negotiation and marriage, which will definitely attract the dissatisfaction of many people. Now that they have thrown away their helmets and armor and returned in a big defeat, the Southern Zhou Dynasty must be defeated. There will be a wave of accusations against Fang Xie Xiao. Instead of letting them unite against our imperial cavalry, it is better to wait for them to attack each other."

Pei Yue smiled and said: "Let the tiger go back to the mountain, and then wait for the tigers to fight."

Tang Linfen suddenly said, "Isn't this just dog eating dog?"

Everyone laughed.

Pei Yue was smiling, but he didn't explain the matter too clearly.The details of the battle could not escape his eyes, and the defeat of the main force in the Southern Zhou Dynasty was too fast, obviously some of them did not try their best.For Fang Xiexiao, he now not only has to bear the pain of losing his son and the counterattack of the North Korean and Chinese official groups, but also has a sinister enemy hidden in the dark.

In the Sifang Hall that day, Xian Chunqiu's remarks were half true and half false, Pei Yue didn't believe that he still had the courage and determination to replace him at his age, but he was definitely interested in bringing down the Pingjiang Fang family.A Fang family that has completely fallen is naturally a good thing for Daliang, but a disabled Fang family can play a greater role in today's complicated court situation in the Southern Zhou Dynasty.

The world is bustling with nothing more than fame and fortune.

After the hustle and bustle, Cai Qian asked sincerely: "Peihou, are we going to stand still and strengthen the city defense?"

Pei Yue pondered and said: "Strengthening the city defense is something that must be done, but standing still is not the case."

Eager emotions surged in everyone's hearts, and they all said: "Please give the order to Marquis Pei!"

Pei Yue said indifferently: "Just now you mentioned the Wufeng navy, this is indeed a problem we need to face. Four days ago, I led the Zangfeng Guards to defeat the Southern Zhou Dingshan camp. At that time, I sent people across the river to the north to inform the generals on the north bank, Mobilize heavy troops to rush to the upper reaches, and then forcefully cross the river to take Hanyang City."

All the generals were shocked, and they all got up and stood upright.

Pei Yue stood up slowly and said: "Now that the territory of Ningzhou in the Southern Zhou Dynasty is empty, this is an excellent opportunity for us to take down Hanyang City. Jiangling retains a certain amount of garrison troops, and the rest can rest for a day, and leave the city at noon tomorrow to go west to cooperate with the army on the north bank. Take Hanyang City."

"With Hanyang already in possession, we can take the area of ​​the South Bank into our pocket, and the Southern Zhou Dynasty has no countermeasures. The Wufeng navy must return to rescue, and our navy can calmly pursue it."

"In this way, the overall situation will be settled."

Pei Yue glanced at the generals one by one, and said with a smile: "Let the soldiers sleep well, and then tell them that after taking Hanyang, I will personally ask His Majesty for their credit!"

Everyone was excited and responded in unison: "Follow the general's order!"
