Invincible son

Chapter 1238 1239 [Hanging Cloud Sails Straight to the Sea] (End)
For the Daliang army on the border, the situation seemed to turn the clouds into the sun overnight.

Lu Qi, the coach of the Changping Army, and Gu Jinshao, the coach of the Yaoshan Army, looked at each other without words. They were already prepared to do their best, even if the casualties were heavy, they would take back the two big cities of Chaling and Pingwu—the premise that the Southern Army was in charge of Pei Yue Next, if they can't gain enough military merit, they are afraid that Pei Yue will take advantage of the situation and deprive himself of his military position.

However, the war did not break out at all. Relying on the support of the Wufeng Navy, tens of thousands of Zhou Jun took the initiative to withdraw to the south bank before the Liang Jun launched an offensive, and retreated to Ningzhou.

The two were almost at a loss, thinking all night and couldn't figure out the reason for Zhou's retreat. When they found out that the enemy's Wufeng Navy and Zhenhai Navy were retreating to the upper reaches of the Tiancang River, they were even more puzzled.

It wasn't until news came from Puqi City that there was a rebellion in the capital of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, and the emperor and the Tian family clan fell into the hands of the rebels. Gu Jinshao and Lu Qi suddenly realized, and at the same time felt a strong sense of awe towards Pei Yue.

This is the real turning of hands into clouds and hands into rain.

Even Wu Xun, who is loyal to the Tian family, has this attitude, not to mention those generals who have a very close relationship with Pei Yue.

In Puqi City, the old commander Guo Xing was full of joy, unable to hide his excitement.

"The navy of the Southern Zhou Dynasty retreated upstream, and the Jiangling waterway returned to our army. Although the Dingzhou navy has not recovered its vitality, but now with the support of the Qinzhou navy, the pontoon bridge can be rebuilt. According to the commander-in-chief of Wei Guogong, Zhang The general led Qi Nian's army and Guiyang Guards to cross the river from the lower reaches, and temporarily stationed on the west side of the Linjiang camp in the Southern Zhou Dynasty, echoing Jiangling City."

Zhang Qixian responded loudly.

Guo Xing looked at a 30-year-old general in the hall, and said gently: "The government has ordered that General Li lead Yanshanwei and Zhenhaiwei to Jiangling south, and make preparations to advance to Ningzhou in the Southern Dynasty."

Li Jin stood up and said solemnly: "The last general takes orders!"

Guo Xing said with emotion: "Recovering the homeland of the Southern Dynasties is just around the corner. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You must do your best and don't get carried away. After a hundred years, your names will definitely be recorded in the history books."

All the generals in the hall responded in unison.

……

Pingjiang has rain today.

A carriage was driving smoothly in the drizzle from north to south.

About ten miles away from the north gate of Pingjiang, a group of girder riders in black armor appeared around the carriage.

After the coachman showed his identity, the team of rangers continued southward around the carriage.

In the carriage, Fang Xie Xiao, the Nan Zhou Zhen Guogong, closed his eyes slightly, as if he was unaware of the movement outside.

Time flies, and 30 years have passed in a flash. He has grown from a young tiger of the Fang family who was once favored by the world to become No. 1 in the Great Zhou military. The hardships are beyond human experience.He has seen the scenery in the south of the Liang Kingdom, and suffered defeats at the hands of Wang Pingzhang and Gu Liang, but no matter how difficult the situation was, he was never discouraged, and always wanted to make a comeback to restore the glory of his ancestors.

However, this time, he finally lost the ambition of the year.

There were gradually noisy voices outside the carriage, and after a while, the carriage finally stopped.

"My lord, we're here." The coachman said respectfully.

The car door was opened, and Fang Xie Xiaozheng walked out slowly in his clothes. The first thing he saw was a majestic and majestic building.

Growing up in Pingjiang City, and often coming here to view the sea as an adult, how could Fang Xiexiao not recognize the Wanghai Tower built by his ancestors?
With a sigh in his heart, he looked down and saw a young and handsome face.

Pei Yue cupped his hands first and said, "Duke Zhen, long time no see."

Fang Xiexiao was stunned. Although Linjiang Camp and Chengbei Camp were still under his control, entering Pingjiang alone today is enough to explain many things.On the way, he imagined many kinds of situations after the meeting, but he never thought that Pei Yue would be so peaceful, without the slightest complacency and arrogance on his face, as if it was true as he said, this is just the reunion of old friends after a long absence.

He felt as if he had never really read the young man's heart.

"It's been almost two years since we left Jiangling, and Duke Wei's demeanor is even better than before."

After exchanging pleasantries, the two climbed up to the top floor of Wanghai Building side by side.

This journey is very short, but Fang Xiexiao's heart is full of twists and turns.

After taking his seat, Pei Yue said casually: "Actually, there is one thing I can't understand. After you received Chen Xizhi's personal letter last year, why did you refuse to consider her proposal? In my opinion, Duke Zhen has a high vision and should know the general trend Irreversible, the Southern Dynasties cannot always be peaceful and peaceful.”

Fang Xiexiao picked up the teacup and took a sip, the light aroma lingered in his throat, but he felt a little bitter.

"The Duke of Wei's suggestion is reasonable. After all, anyone with a little knowledge can see the gap between Liang and Zhou. However, Fang, as a courtier of the Zhou Dynasty, hopes to be loyal to the court after all. In fact, if it hadn't been for Duke Wei's surprise attack this time, If Pingjiang succeeds, even if the Jian'an Rebellion still happens, I will lead Pingjiang's disciples to fight to the end."

He paused, and sighed: "However, our generation of soldiers fought on the battlefield, and what we seek is to protect the country and the people, but the lives of the whole family are exposed to the butcher knife of Wei Guogong, how can Fang Mou be killed because of his own fault? Privately forcing the soldiers under his command to die for nothing."

There was a hint of respect in Pei Yue's eyes.

Chang Bajiu is often the one who goes wrong in the world. He can understand Fang Xie Xiao's determination to face Bingfeng head-on, and he will not despise the other party's choice at the moment.

Thinking of this, he said slowly: "Since Lord Zhen is honest with each other, then I will open the skylight and speak frankly."

Fang Xiexiao nodded and said, "Please tell me frankly."

Pei Yue said: "I'm not a bloodthirsty person, and I haven't massacred in the city during this period of time. Later, Lord Zhen Guo can look around. After the war is over, I don't have to kill any Pingjiang people, but in this city Everyone in the village must move to the territory of Daliang, and live in disorder and scattered. This is the bottom line acceptable to the Daliang court, and I hope Duke Zhen can understand."

Fang Xiexiao had expected this for a long time, and said calmly: "It should be so."

Pei Yue continued: "The Fang family can set up a land property in Daliang territory. On behalf of His Majesty, I promise to Lord Zhen Guo that I will not invade the Fang family's private property. In addition, my majesty will also grant the Fang family With a hereditary title, there will also be the position of Zhen Guogong in the Daliang Army, although it is not as good as your excellency in the Southern Dynasty, but it is enough for the Fang family to enjoy endless glory and wealth."

This is also the proper meaning of the question. After all, Fang Xiexiao still has two large battalions in his hands. If he refuses to bow his head and surrender, the Liang army will definitely pay a certain price.

Fang Xiexiao looked calm, quietly waiting for the other party's follow-up conditions.

Pei Yue said unhurriedly: "Before the situation in the southern border is settled, I hope Duke Zhen can do two things."

Fang Xiexiao said: "Please tell me."

Pei Yue stared and said: "First, please Fang Yuntian, Fang Yunjiang and Fang Yunji go to my Chaochengjing immediately, I will order people to treat them well, and I will definitely not let them suffer any grievances."

Fang Xiexiao was silent for a moment, looked at Pei Yue's resolute gaze, and said with difficulty: "Yes."

Pei Yue said again: "Secondly, the Xian family will definitely not give up. Now that Xian Chunqiu's troops are entrenched in Ningzhou, if it is not resolved, chaos will inevitably arise. Therefore, I also ask Lord Zhen to send Chengbei Camp to assist us in the town. The Southern Army, Jiangling Army and Changping Army should destroy the army led by Xian Chunqiu as soon as possible."

Fang Xiexiao sighed softly in his heart, now that the first step has been taken, the next thing can be said to be a matter of course.

The young man on the opposite side clearly pinpointed his pulse, no matter how much he talked at this moment, it was just a bargain.

He eventually agreed.

Pei Yue's expression became more and more gentle, and the two then had a long discussion on the details.

Fang Xiexiao will not return immediately, because this matter involves too many aspects. There are many different things about the court, Pingjiang, border army and local government. All important issues need to be agreed in advance.

At sunset, Fang Xiexiao politely declined Pei Yue's banquet, and he wanted to go back to the Fang family mansion to appease the clansmen.

After watching the middle-aged man leave, Pei Yue got up and walked to the verandah, looking at the eastern sea and sky line, heaved a long sigh of relief.

Feng Yi looked at his young master's broad back, and saluted sincerely: "Congratulations, young master, for making such an outstanding achievement!"

Pei Yue smiled slightly, and said calmly: "Let the secretary draft a detailed memorial, and then send it to the capital."

Feng Yi smiled honestly: "Yes, young master."
