"Will Gu Qing assist Chen Duan?"

"So, one of the important figures in the Jiankang Rebellion was Liang Wang Chen Duan?"

Yu Wenheng didn't know the complexity of Gu Youyi's heart. He extracted the key points from Gu Youyi's troubled words.

After saying a few sweet words, Gu Youyi was successfully coaxed into being elated and shy. Yu Wenheng sent someone to send Gu Youyi back to the inner courtyard.

He returned to his study and began to discuss with his advisers.

After brainstorming among the counselors, Yu Wenheng decided to take advantage of this incident in Jiankang Palace.

On the one hand, he sent someone to notify the spies lurking in Jiankang, while investigating the situation and waiting for opportunities.

On the other hand, Yu Wenheng decided to lead his troops to Jiangling.

Jiangling has always been an important line of defense in the confrontation between the north and the south, and this riverside city has changed hands several times.

Last summer, the river overflowed, and the soldiers of the Northern Dynasty were not good at water warfare, so Liang Wang Chen Duan led the navy to recapture Jiangling.

Although the imperial court had many restrictions on Chen Duan, Chen Duan seemed to have his own trump card.

No shortage of food and wages!

Every month, a steady stream of food, grass, and money were distributed from Chen Duan's hands.

As for the soldiers who are fighting, being able to eat well and receive military pay (silver rewards) will allow them to fight without fear of death.

Therefore, among the many Southern Dynasty generals on the riverside, Chen Duan's troops were the most ferocious and difficult to deal with.

The Jiangling he guarded was also the most stable among the several cities along the river.

Yu Wenheng wanted to capture the Southern Dynasty, so he was very familiar with the generals of the Southern Dynasty.

Chen Duanben is one of the key targets of his attention.

With Gu Youyi's "prophecy", Yu Wenheng will only pay more attention to it.

"The King of Liang is a powerful general second only to the new emperor. He is very good at military affairs and has tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command."

"Now that he has sufficient logistical supplies, he can fully demonstrate his talents."

"Moreover, he and the new emperor are brothers. He is also qualified to compete for the change of Chen's imperial power."

"...It's a good thing that he returned to Jiankang. Jiangling will be empty!"

The counselors had the same idea as Yu Wenheng.

If Chen Duan wants to fight for that position, he must leave Jiangling.

Yu Wenheng can take advantage of the opportunity and capture Jiangling, and then use Jiangling as a stronghold to continue advancing south.

……

"My lord, you are going back to Beijing, and Jiangling needs to make arrangements in advance!"

Yu Wenheng and his advisers were eyeing Jiangling. How could Chen Duan and his disciples not think of it?

Just before Chen Duan wrote a letter to Gu Qingcheng and prepared to lead his troops back to the capital, his disciples were discussing the matter.

Jiangling is not Chen Duan's base camp, but it is also a very important stronghold.

Chen Duan's recapture of Jiangling that day became his important achievement.

When the courtiers mentioned him, they also praised him as the hero who "regained the lost land".

At present, in order to seize power, the hero Liang Wang "gives up" the city he finally regained. This is easy to say, but not easy to say.

If one thing goes wrong, a loyal minister will become a sinner in an instant.

To seize power or something, he would have run the risk of being accused of being a traitor. Now that there is a crisis in Jiangling, Chen Duan will be even more passive if he does not handle it well.

“Jiangling can’t be thrown away!”

Not only did Yu Wenheng want to compete in the world, but Chen Duan also had the ambition to unify the north and the south.

Jiangling is located in a fortress, and he took it back with great difficulty. How could he give up so easily?
Jiangling cannot be given up, but Chen Duan must return to Beijing.

He could only choose someone he could trust to stay in Jiangling.

Who to choose?
As a strong man who wants to overthrow his former boss and ascend to power, Chen Duan has the same hidden worries as Chen Jing deep in his heart.

Chen Jing has already suffered "retribution", what about Chen Duan?
He is also worried that another "self" will appear under his command!
He didn't want to kill people in the capital while Jiangling, the base he ran, was blamed.

"Your Highness, the flying pigeon in Lingnan is delivering a message!"

Just when Chen Duan was hesitating about the candidate, the voice of complaint sounded outside Wang's tent.Lingnan?

It’s Aqing!
Chen Duan's eyes lit up.

Although he and Gu Qing have not known each other for a long time, A Qing has devoted a lot to him, and he has long been accustomed to having A Qing as a good helper.

Not only is A Qing talented, she is also wealthy. In the past two years, it was only thanks to A Qing that he was able to focus on the battle ahead.

Among the people Chen Duan trusts most, Gu Qing's name is definitely there.

Moreover, to a certain extent, Chen Duan trusted Gu Qing far more than some of his close confidants.

It's not that Chen Duan is in love, but in Chen Duan's opinion, he and A Qing have the same interests.

If he is good, Aqing will be good.

And if he failed, Aqing would have no hope of even returning to Lingnan.

The great cause is their common great cause.

Aqing will only try his best to help and will never destroy the Great Wall.

Chaoshui: ...Are you sure?

Alas, I can only say that Her Majesty the Queen's acting skills are too superb, and the people of this world are too "naive".

Women can't be emperor?
what!
Her Majesty the Queen of Heaven will teach everyone the truth.

"Bring it quickly!"

Chen Duan shouted repeatedly.

He wanted to see what A Qing thought.

Taking the bamboo tube, opening the seal and unfolding the note, Chen Duan saw familiar handwriting.

Gu Qingcheng's letter was very concise, telling Chen Duan only three things:
First, we must return to the capital!

Second, Jiangling cannot be lost!

Third, she wants to go north.

"Aqing is coming? Haha, okay, that's great!"

"Yes, why did I forget A Qing?"

If you have to choose someone who can stay in Jiangling, Gu Qing is undoubtedly the best candidate.

Although she is a woman, even though she cannot fight.

But she is his spokesperson Chen Duan.

Seeing her was like seeing Chen Duan.

The most important thing is that Gu Qing is the God of Wealth.

Her money and food have always been the basis for supporting Liang Wangjun.

Prince Liang's lieutenants all knew how "powerful" the future Princess Liang would be.

No one is stupid enough to kill themselves!
"Okay! It's been decided, I will return to Beijing, and Aqing will guard Jiangling!"

Chen Duan didn't even have to wait for Gu Qing to arrive. As long as he spread the word, some people would stay safe.

There was no way, in the past year or two, Gu Qingcheng had given Chen Duan and Liang Wangjun too many supplies.

Unknowingly, Gu, the future Princess Liang, had gained great prestige.

The disciples may have other plans, but Chen Duan's lieutenants will never underestimate or belittle Gu Qingcheng.

Seeing Chen Duan holding the note, almost dancing with excitement, one of the several diners sighed secretly.

"It seems that the position of Gu's daughter in Prince Liang's heart needs to be re-evaluated!"

“The Wang family’s matters need to be put aside first——”

Originally, he wanted to use this Jiangling crisis to persuade the King of Liang to marry again.

Well, the position of the principal concubine is gone, so there are still side concubines.

Promised the position of concubine to a certain deputy general, and asked him to guard Jiangling for the King of Liang with all his heart.

How nice is it to have the best of both worlds?
It's a pity that Gu's daughter is not an ordinary girl from aristocratic family. Her influence on Prince Liang is too great...
