Chapter 1140 1141 [Three cloud-piercing arrows]

Author: Shangtang Doumiao

Jianzhang Hall.

Chen Guan, the new Minister of War, stood quietly at the bottom, looking at the eloquent young prince and feeling envious involuntarily.

He was forty-eight years old. He had worked hard in the court for more than 20 years and had to go through many twists and turns before he could become an important minister. Pei Yue was already in power when he was just weak and had a grand birthday a month ago.

Not only the civil servants and military officials from all over Kyoto went to the Duke Wei's palace to send congratulatory gifts, but there were also rewards from the Queen Mother and Her Majesty in the palace. It can be said that the scenery is unparalleled.

However, the young prince seems to be unsatisfied.

"...Your Majesty, gentlemen, the Southern Dynasty will inevitably struggle to the death, so they will seize all available means. After the war two years ago, Xiwu seemed to have no ability to raise troops to invade the country in a short period of time, but

It cannot be ruled out that under the instigation of the Southern Dynasty, the monarchs and ministers of Western Wu made a desperate move. In addition, although the northern Xinjiang has been pacified, the territory of Yuzhou in the southwest has always been uneasy, and there is also the possibility of an outbreak of chaos."

Pei Yueping said calmly, but Chen Guan shook his head secretly.

Duke Wei was a bit too eager, and he still wanted to continue to hold power now that he had such great power.

He did not believe that under the premise of internal stability in Daliang, Xiwu and Southern Zhou would dare to raise troops again not long after their defeat. This was probably because Pei Yue was alarmist and wanted to take the opportunity to expand his influence in the army and seize more power.

.

Chen Guan just sighed that he was so humble and he obviously had no qualifications to question at this time, so he looked expectantly at the important ministers in front of him.

However, what he didn't expect was that not only Gu Liang, Luo Ting and others did not refute, but even Xiao Jin, who had previously made it clear that he was at odds with Pei Yue, had a solemn look on his face, as if he was considering the seriousness of Pei Yue's words.

.

On the dragon chair, Liu Xian muttered: "What Duke Wei Guo said is reasonable, but I have also asked Chen An and Jing Chu. Neither Taige nor Luan Yiwei have received relevant reports. At least so far.

So far, there has been no sign of mobilizing troops on the border between Western Wu and the Southern Dynasty."

Chen Guan breathed a sigh of relief. Although His Majesty is young, he seems to be able to remain calm at the moment.

Pei Yue shook his head slightly and said: "Your Majesty, the Gaoyang Plain is flat, the Western Wu cavalry is as fast as the wind, and the border between Kyoto and Kyoto is far apart, so it takes time for the message to be transmitted. Even if the Taige spies send back the message immediately when the other party reveals their flaws, waiting for the imperial court to do so.

If the border reacts, I am afraid that the territory will fall."

Han Gongduan frowned and said: "Wei Guogong, may I ask why you made such a judgment?"

Everyone looked at it.

There was already a hint of coolness in the air in early October, and the feeling inside the palace became more and more obvious.

Pei Yue looked around at the princes in the palace, but did not make the matter of Xu Churong's tip public to the public. He calmly replied: "I have met and fought with people from Wu and Zhou. I know their behavior very well, especially now that I have mastered the information."

The rebel general Xian Chunqiu of the Southern Dynasty military power will never sit still and wait to be killed."

Luo Ting nodded and said: "Your Majesty, I trust Duke Wei's judgment in this regard."

Liu Xian hesitated and said: "I don't doubt Pei Qing's vision in military matters, but now the country needs to recuperate. Before the enemy country shows any signs, if we go to war and gather a large number of troops, I am afraid it will attract opposition from both the government and the public."

Daliang needs to regain its homeland in the Southern Dynasties. This is the consensus of all civil and military officials, but this matter obviously cannot be rushed.

Deploying troops on the border to the west and south at the same time without conclusive evidence is likely to lead to accusations of militarism.

Pei Yue said calmly: "Your Majesty, I am not trying to waste people or money. If you want to prevent trouble before it happens, you must prepare food, grass and weapons in advance, but the key point lies in the commander of one side. The Beijing camp needs time to recover, but the frontier army has not been depleted.

Therefore, we only need to send a temporary commander to the west and south to coordinate the defense of each major battalion. Even if Xiwu and Nanchao suddenly send troops, we can respond in time. "

Liu Xian said slowly: "What does Pei Qing mean?"

Pei Yue said solemnly: "I would like to ask Your Majesty to reinstate the two positions of Cheng Jing Camp Control and Hucheng Camp Control to command the border armies in the two places to prepare for war."

Liu Xian looked relieved. If he only reinstated the frontier army commander instead of sending a large army to launch an offensive against Wu and Zhou at the same time, then it would naturally be within his tolerance.

However, just when he was about to say yes, he suddenly found that the atmosphere in the palace was a little strange.

Even Luo Ting and Han Gongduan looked solemn and did not immediately express their support for Pei Yue's suggestion.

Liu Xian gradually came back to his senses. With Pei Yue's current status in the army, if the two military commanders were really restored, he would definitely be one of them. If such a young powerful minister can still do it in the next two years, he must be one of them.

To firmly control the border troops, I'm afraid...

Pei Yue's face remained as usual, and he looked quietly at the young emperor on the dragon throne.

Liu Xian looked at his clear eyes and couldn't help but think of the past, so he smiled faintly and said calmly: "Zhunzou."

Pei Yue bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

There was a sudden commotion in the palace, but Liu Xian stood up and said: "The ministers will submit the memorial within two days, and each of them must recommend two candidates who will conduct their business in moderation."

The noise suddenly disappeared, and the officials bowed and received the order.

Pei Yue looked at Liu Xian's slightly anxious figure walking towards the harem, knowing that he must be looking for the unfathomable Empress Dowager Wu, so he couldn't help turning around thoughtfully and exiting Jianzhang Hall.

Returning to Duke Wei's mansion, Pei Yue sat quietly in the study outside for a long time.

He did not write the memorial stipulated by the emperor. He took out three secret letters from the secret compartment of the bookshelf and said to Feng Yi, who was standing beside him: "Use the most secret mail routes to send these three letters as quickly as possible."

Send a secret message."

Feng Yi said solemnly: "Yes, young master."

He glanced at the name under the paint, and couldn't help but feel excited.

…

In the far north, near the Kuta Mountains in the wilderness.

A group of elite cavalry galloped, dismounted in front of the camp, and then walked straight into the center of the army. Holding a secret letter with intact paint in their hands, they respectfully handed it to Wei Rui.

Chen Xianda and Meng Longfu did not come forward. They only waited for Wei Rui to read the letter and asked eagerly: "Brother Wei, is this a letter from the Duke?"

Wei Rui nodded, turned around and threw the secret message into the brazier, watching it burn to ashes with his own eyes, and then said: "The Duke said that the Zangfeng Guards must complete a feat that has never been accomplished by any army since ancient times.

One battle will determine the fate of the world."

Chen Xianda suddenly became excited.

Meng Longfu asked: "Is there going to be a war?"

Wei Rui said in a deep voice: "Yes."

He did not explain in detail, but walked slowly outside the tent and looked at the hardened warriors and cavalry in the camp.

After half a year of plowing and clearing dens, all the barbarian groups in the wasteland were destroyed, and the surviving barbarians were gathered together and could be escorted back to the country at any time.

The Tibetan Front Guards Cavalry are inherently brave and good at fighting. When trained in extremely harsh environments like the wilderness, they are like a magical weapon that has been temporarily sealed.

Once it is taken out of the sheath, it will be like a ghost or a god.

…

In the western border, Lingzhou, Xingyang City.

Two young men came to the governor's office.

Although they have no official status, the officials in the mansion do not dare to be careless, because the Xiangyun Company controlled by these two people has become the leading business house in Lingzhou and surrounding areas, and they are very close to the owner of the governor's mansion.

After a while, Wang Yong and Yang Hu were led to the inner study.

After Tang Youzhiping, the governor of Lingzhou, retired, Wang Yong took out a letter from his arms and respectfully handed it to the feudal official.

Tang Youzhi read the contents of the letter carefully, and then said with emotion: "When he left Kyoto, Duke Wei had a long conversation with me all night, and they discussed the military affairs in the western border. I thought he was too cautious, but today

Only then did we know the precise vision of Duke Wei."

Wang Yong and Yang Hu didn't know what the letter said, but they had received instructions from the messenger to bring Pei Yue, and the Lingzhou governor was the only one who followed suit.

Tang Youzhi put away his sigh and said slowly: "You two little friends, you will not have a moment of leisure in the future. I hope you will do your best to cooperate with me."

The two said in unison: "Yes!"

…

On the bank of the East China Sea in Daliang, Qinzhou, Songning Prefecture.

Qinzhou Naval Station.

This yamen is as simple as it was many years ago, but only the generals within the Navy know how the Qinzhou Navy, nicknamed the stepmother, has changed in recent years.

All this was due to the young Duke Wei, so the commander Hu Dayou, who had met him several times, became a popular figure in this navy, with a status second only to the admiral.

In the back house of the government office, Hu Dayang looked at Chen Huacheng, the burly admiral of the Navy, and said eagerly: "Sir, Duke Wei's plan is brilliant!"

Chen Huacheng nodded and said, "That's true."

Hu Dayou pretended to hesitate and said: "It's just that there is no express note from the imperial court, I'm afraid..."

Chen Huacheng laughed and scolded: "It's not like you are going up the Qishui River to harass Kyoto. Don't pretend to be in front of me! Since Weiguo has spoken openly, we will naturally follow suit. This matter will be left to you. Don't make any mistakes!"
