Chapter 1117 1118 [No smoke without fire]

Author: Shangtang Doumiao

Nancheng, Dingkangfang.

This is a place where fish and dragons are mixed, and even officials from Kyoto Prefecture will frown when they come here.

In an ordinary house somewhere, a young man in his twenties was hunkering down in front of a case, carefully flipping through a thick stack of files.

About half an hour later, a subordinate walked into the room and said respectfully: "Master, news has been sent back over there."

The young man said without raising his head: "Say."

The subordinate continued: "According to the young master's instructions, our people spent fifty taels of silver to bribe the shopkeeper of the Xiangyun Branch, and under the guise of being a member of the Lin clan, asked him to hand over the jade pendant to the Lin clan's daughter's personal maid. However,

The other party seemed to have no reaction at all, and did not go to find trouble with the shopkeeper, and there was no spy nearby."

The young man looked at the words in the file quietly and said with a half-smile: "It is unexpected that Lin Qi can raise such a calm daughter."

He is Wang Chongyun, a descendant of the Wang family in Dongshan of Xiwu. This time, with the help of Xiwu's continuous deployment in the western border of Daliang for decades, he became a native of Dingning Prefecture in Lingzhou, changed his name and came to Kyoto.

The subordinate considered it and said: "Master, if the Lin daughter ignores this, or informs Pei Yue immediately about it, I'm afraid His Highness Prince Ning's plan will not be implemented."

Before leaving Anyang City, Ning Wang Gaocheng repeatedly told Wang Chongyun to find a way to control Lin Shuyue first, and then trick Pei Yue into being fooled. As long as Pei Yue could be killed in the capital of Liang Kingdom, it would be a good idea for Liang who had just ascended the throne not long ago.

For the emperor, it would be very difficult to control the stability of the court, and it might be possible to provoke civil strife in the Liang army.

After all, the impact of Wang Pingzhang's execution is still brewing. If something happens to Pei Yue and Gu Liang, Xiao Jin alone will definitely not be able to stabilize the morale of millions of soldiers.

Wang Chongyun chuckled and said sarcastically: "If Gao Cheng is not a mediocre person who is strong on the outside but capable on the inside, how could your Majesty trust him to lead the Dutong Yuan? Although in recent years, important military affairs have been decided by your Majesty and the generals from all directions, Gao Cheng has never looked down upon him.

We thought that we were inferior to one man and superior to ten thousand people. This time when we came to the capital of Liang Kingdom, if we followed his stupid method, we would be dead in a foreign country. The biggest sin would be to live up to His Majesty's expectations.

"

The subordinate automatically ignored his ridicule to the prince and asked knowingly: "Master, do you mean that we have to change the plan?"

Wang Chongyun muttered: "If the capital of the Liang Kingdom is not in chaos, the frontier army will be as stable as a mountain. Although His Majesty has sent people to the Zhou Kingdom to discuss the matter of joining forces, and they will basically not refuse, but on the battlefield, he wants to shake the Liang Kingdom.

With more than 700,000 border troops, it is still an extremely difficult thing. In my opinion, this matter needs to be discussed in the long term. The Lin family will wait and see what happens. After a while, let the Lin family write a personal letter. According to today's

Give it to her."

He put down the file and said calmly: "Judging from the information collected by the son of the Tongyuan over the years, the Liang Dynasty is quite stable. Even Wang Pingzhang's rebellion did not damage the foundation. However, they are not monolithic, especially now that Pei Yuequan is in power. I want to

It’s not difficult to find a few gaps in it.”

The subordinate understood and said: "Master, we can start with the mutual suspicion between civil and military officials."

Wang Chongyun nodded and said calmly: "The most urgent task is to let all our people lurk in the capital of Liang Kingdom according to their established identities. Your Majesty went around Gao Cheng and handed over all the manpower and gold and silver into my hands. There is more than that.

It is aimed at Pei Yue alone. If you want to win a decisive victory thousands of miles away, you must first let Liang Guo fall into internal troubles."

He paused, took out a piece of paper from under the file, turned around and said: "Here is a list of officials and dignitaries above the Liang Dynasty, as well as their life preferences. Although the details of the Dutong Yuan have not been accessible over the years,

The visit to Liang Guo's two important ministers is not without success. What you have to do now is to speed up and do what they want, and try to influence their judgment and stance as much as possible."

"Yes!" The subordinate took the list with both hands and responded resolutely.

Wang Chongyun waved his hand. After the other party left, he looked out through the window at the cramped courtyard and sneered: "The Wang family of Dongshan has always taken revenge. I hope you won't disappoint me too much."

…

Nanzhou, Pingjiang Town, Wanghai Tower.

Today, there are more than a thousand armored and armed men outside the building, and the atmosphere is solemn and solemn.

On the corridor on the top floor, Xie Xiao, the Duke of Zhenguo, and Xian Chunqiu, the Marquis of Jubei, sat next to each other facing east.

Fang Yuntian, Fang Yunjiang, Xian Henghan and Xian Xiaoshi and other younger generations stayed indoors quietly, looking at each other and observing each other without saying a word.

The sound of the waves slowly reached my ears, and a slightly fishy sea breeze blew in.

Fang Xiexiao asked for a tea ceremony: "The old Marquis traveled a long way to Pingjiang Town and prayed for forgiveness for not providing good hospitality."

A gentle smile appeared on Xian Chunqiu's old face, and he said calmly: "My lord, do you know that back then, I crossed the Tiancang River overnight carrying a blood feud. What I was most worried about was not that the late emperor would shut out the old man, but that I would suppress him first.

The Duke does not believe in the sincerity of the old man."

Hearing him mention his late father, Fang Xiexiao couldn't help but show respect.

Xian Chunqiu then said: "Only after I met the Duke of Xianzhen did I know what a villain's heart is. Not only did he not doubt me, a surrendered general of the Northern Liang Dynasty, but he quickly asked me to assist in military affairs. I was so open-minded and open-minded.

It’s rare. From that time on, the status of Pingjiang Town was second only to Jian’an City in my heart.”

He turned to look at Fang Xiexiao and sighed: "Don't say that the Duke of the country treats you so solemnly, even if it's just a simple meal, even an old man would enjoy it."

Fang Xiexiao nodded and said, "Old Marquis, you're welcome."

Xian Chunqiu changed the subject and said: "Your Majesty said that the Duke was afraid that he would be disappointed with the imperial court, so he did not support the strategy of uniting Wu to fight Liang, but I don't think so."

Fang Xiexiao smiled lightly but did not answer.

Xian Chunqiu didn't take it seriously and continued: "I still remember that I fought hand in hand with the Duke of Liang to fight against the Liang army. From Wang Pingzhang to Gu Liang, I don't know how many hardships and dangers we went through before we had the current layout with Tiancang River as the boundary.

.Among the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty,

The old man sincerely admires these two people, one is the first assistant Xu Huiyan, and the other is the Duke of Zhen. Therefore, before the old man came, he told His Majesty that the Duke was not dissatisfied with the imperial court, and the reason why he did not give an answer for so long

, just because I don’t believe in old age.”

Fang Xiexiao did not deny or admit that Xian Chunqiu had previously proposed to Emperor Qingyuan that he should take advantage of the instability in the court when the new king of Beiliang ascended the throne to unite with the State of Wu to take the initiative and mobilize all forces to launch a comprehensive offensive. At that time, he had guessed that the old man

And the powerful Ju Beihou probably wanted to kill two birds with one stone, using Pingjiang's children to consume Beiliang's troops and achieve his ulterior motives.

Xian Chunqiu said leisurely: "I understand the concerns of the Duke of Guo, so I volunteered to Your Majesty to go there in person to express my feelings to the Duke in person. In this joint attack on Beiliang, I will recommend the Duke of Guo to return.

Get up, and then you and I will each lead an army and march northward from the east and west fronts at the same time."

Fang Xiexiao was silent for a long time and said with emotion: "The old Marquis said this, if I continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb, I am afraid I will disappoint His Majesty. Forget it, according to what the old Marquis said, the children of Pingjiang are willing to serve the country.

He sacrifices his life and forgets his own death, and Fang is no exception."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Fang Xiexiao said again: "Old Marquis, it's not that I underestimate the soldiers in the army and look down on the soldiers of Beiliang. Even if we can join forces with Wu to send troops at the same time, it is still not easy to crack down on those hard bones on the border of Liang."

things."

"It's natural."

Xian Chunqiu nodded in agreement, and then said: "The key to defeating Liang is to weaken their own strength first. If Beiliang is still stable internally, even if we can gain a temporary advantage, we will not be able to defeat their strength in the future. Therefore, Beiliang will not be in chaos.

Then great things will be difficult to accomplish.”

Fang Xiexiao was slightly startled and looked at the old man next to him with deep meaning.

The other party was obviously well prepared, especially since there was so much meaning hidden in this sentence.

Xian Chunqiu said softly: "Could it be that the Duke of the State has forgotten that the old man was a native of Liang more than thirty years ago and happened to know some secrets. In fact, the old man did not expect that those old things could still be used to create chaos before we sent out troops.

Liang Guochaotang."

Fang Xiexiao said seriously: "I would like to hear the details."

Along the line between the sea and the sky, the waves are surging. Under such beautiful scenery, Xian Chunqiu talks about it, and the noisy sea breeze vaguely carries the smell of blood.

After a long time, Fang Xiexiao couldn't hide his shock and said: "So...it's actually like this..."

He turned to look at the sky in the north and murmured: "If the old Marquis can succeed in this plan, we will indeed have a greater chance of winning."
