Invincible son

Chapter 1245 1246 [The Wind Sweeps the Fallen Leaves]

The news of Xian Chunqiu blatantly proclaiming himself emperor blew across the southern Kyushu like a hurricane, except for the Ningzhou and Liangzhou he occupied, the rest of the places were all shocked by the news.Some people beat their chests and scolded him for their wolfish ambitions, some people were stunned for a long time and couldn't recover, and of course some people took advantage of the fact that the government was almost paralyzed and rushed to defect with their families.

Especially those rich and powerful, they are well aware of Pei Yue's temperament and means, if they continue to stay, they will definitely end up miserable.Although it seemed that the future of defecting to Xian Chunqiu was bleak, but now that the entire clan of the family fell into Pei Yue's hands, and Fang Xiexiao led his army to surrender, there was no place for them in the vast southern border.

These people might not have a trace of fantasy, if Wu Guo can defeat Beiliang, and the army marches straight in, Pei Yue will inevitably lead the army back to help, and at that time Xian Chunqiu may be able to turn defeat into victory.

This is the only way they can go, and of course they don't have the slightest hesitation.

News from all over the country flew to Jian'an like snowflakes. At the same time, various armies were also attacking Ning and Liang prefectures according to Pei Yue's plan.

In the Xu family manor in the south city, the military generals and messengers gathered together to report the news they had to Pei Yue.

Pei Yue said calmly: "I said earlier that if someone wants to defect to Xian Chunqiu, there is no need to obstruct them, let them go, so that they can catch them all later and save a lot of trouble."

Everyone respectfully responded.

"Chu Taizu..."

Pei Yue recited Xian Chunqiu's emperor title, and finally revealed a helpless smile.

In fact, he can probably understand the other party's thoughts, especially the long conversation in the Sifang Pavilion two years ago, which gave him a very three-dimensional understanding of the most famous traitor in Daliang in the past century.Xian Chunqiu not only resented Emperor Zhongzong, but also Pei Yuan, who was kind to him, because he was naturally ambitious, and he was unwilling to be subordinate to others no matter where he was.

But it has to be said that his paranoid temperament has something to do with Emperor Zhongzong's viciousness.

Putting himself in his shoes, if he was the one who suffered the hatred of destroying his family, Pei Yue couldn't guarantee that he would be as cautious as the beginning.

After some feelings, Pei Yue looked around the crowd and said: "Xian Chunqiu created this kind of momentum just to confuse people's hearts, and at the same time to use the reactions from various places to delay our offensive. The situation is like this, we have to cut the mess quickly, and we can't give it to you. He has too much time."

All the generals responded in unison.

After arranging the detailed marching strategy, the generals and messengers bowed and left, and the hall returned to silence.

Xu Huiyan, who had been watching the military discussion, said, "How long does the Duke think Xian Ni can last?"

Pei Yue smiled and said, "What do Xu Gong think?"

Xu Huiyan pondered and said, "No more than ten days."

Pei Yue said: "Actually, Xian Chunqiu himself knows that he is already a grasshopper after autumn, so he can't wait to proclaim himself emperor, and he is nothing more than dying of addiction. Inviting Mr. Xu here today has nothing to do with the military discussion, but wants to discuss with Xu Discuss with the public, and clear up the preparatory work for determining the taxation of Zhang Tianmu."

Xu Huiyan looked at the young dignitary quietly, and couldn't help feeling admiration.

What do you mean by lifting weights like taking a leisurely stroll?

Xian Chunqiu still has nearly [-] troops under his command, and he also controls the land of two states, plus the ghosts and snakes who defected to him during this period, he is not a petty person who is bluffing.But Pei Yue obviously didn't take him seriously, and his eyes have turned to the future. The matter of dividing the land is the key to really determining whether the people in the southern border can belong to Daliang.

At this moment, he couldn't help but think of his third son, Xu Xi, who had high hopes. Compared with the children of the local rich and powerful, Xu Xi was naturally young and promising, especially in dealing with the government affairs.It can be compared with the Liang Guogong in front of him, it is no different from the world.

He smiled with a complicated expression, and then said: "About Qingzhang Tianmu, this old man already has a secret case."

Pei Yue smiled and said: "Xu Gong's eight methods of clearing the land are the regulations of the Ming and Qing Zhang, the officials who should be appointed, the amount of the re-sit group, the grain of the original levy, the law of strict deception and concealment, the period of clearing the Zhang, and the deeds. The method of measuring and calculating and the cost of supplying paper notes."

Xu Huiyan was stunned.

Of course he was aware of these strategies. They were originally the methods he proposed to Emperor Qingyuan before the outbreak of the Jiangling Battle two years ago, but he didn't expect Pei Yue to memorize them so well.

Pei Yue said gently: "To be honest, I admire Xu Gong quite a lot, and it is inseparable from the Qingtian Bafa. Xu Gong, as the lord of the Qinghe Xu family, is not uncommon to see the chronic illnesses of the Southern Dynasty. The rare thing is that you can do it down-to-earth For the sake of the common people, not floating in the clouds like Emperor Qingyuan. I have also heard that Xu Gong's reform was the first cut to attack Qinghe County, but it is a pity that the ambition is not rewarded."

Xu Huiyan's lips moved, not only surprised at Pei Yue's familiarity with the situation in the south, but also involuntarily feeling a sense of confidant.

He said a little excitedly: "If the Duke is willing to support, I will definitely do my best."

Although Xu Churong never understood, the old man had a long-cherished wish in his heart, which was to change the status quo of the southern Kyushu.It's just that in the past few decades, he was limited by extremely complicated power struggles, and there were people who hindered him no matter when and where, so he couldn't implement it smoothly.

Unexpectedly, there will be a time when the willows are dark and the flowers are bright.

Pei Yue said: "Don't worry, Mr. Xu, I am a man of my word. Since you are invited to take care of the overall situation, I will not let anyone obstruct it. I have sent an order to Gu Jie, the commander of the Hanyang Army outside the city, to lead [-] soldiers. Ruizu assists the officials in investigating the land properties in various places, and I believe that in the not-too-distant future, Mr. Xu will be able to witness the grand occasion of Haiyan and Heqing."

Xu Huiyan got up suddenly, and bowed very respectfully to Pei Yue, who was dozens of years younger than him.

Pei Yue turned sideways and sighed: "Mr. Xu doesn't need to do this."

Xu Huiyan said: "I also ask the Duke to send a team of elites, preferably the masters of Taishitai Pavilion, to accompany the old man to protect the safety of the old man."

The meaning of this sentence needs no elaboration.

Pei Yue stared into the old man's eyes, finally he could only nod his head and said, "I will follow Mr. Xu's words."

Xu Huiyan said goodbye and left.

Pei Yue sent him outside the door, and when he heard footsteps behind him, he said with emotion: "It's not easy for your father."

Xu Churong's eyes were slightly red, and she responded softly.

Pei Yue took her tender palm and said comfortingly: "Don't be sad, the storm is over, and there will only be wind and scenery in the future."

Xu Churong didn't want to make him worry, so he changed the subject and said, "Will there be any trouble in the northern border war?"

Pei Yue shook his head and said calmly: "Some people are already at the end of their way, so there is nothing to worry about."

As he said, the war in the north went very smoothly.

On May [-]th, Fang Xiexiao commanded the Chengbei Camp to break through the Liangzhou defense line, and then went down six cities like a broken bamboo.

On May [-]th, the Yaoshan Army, the Zhennan Army and the Jiangling Army under the command of the old commanders Guo Xing and Cai Qian swept all over Ningzhou one after another. The army successfully besieged Boyang, the capital of Ningzhou, which is the capital of Chu State. .

On May [-]th, Boyang City was broken, and Xian Chunqiu committed suicide in that humble palace.

It has only been ten days since he ascended the throne as emperor.

The big picture is set.

……

Daliang, Kyoto.

Summer has come, and the cicadas are everywhere.

The city guard at the south gate sat in the shade, watching the soldiers guarding the gate listlessly checking pedestrians entering and leaving the city gate.

Suddenly there was the sound of hooves in the distance.

He turned his head and looked, only to see several horses galloping towards the city gate, and there was still no sign of slowing down when they approached the city gate.

The city guard's face was filled with anger, and he quickly stepped forward surrounded by more than a dozen subordinates holding the knife handle, and roared: "Stop coming—"

Before the words fell, the knight's loud voice spread all around: "Good news in the southern border! The Duke of Wei led the army to capture Jian'an, and the Southern Zhou Dynasty was destroyed!"

There was a sudden silence in the arena.

A few moments later, everyone looked at the people around them in disbelief, and the cheers went up to the sky!
