What is momentum?

It cannot be seen or touched, but it is real.

At the Furong Banquet in Qiujiang Tower, Pei Yue, as a viscount, was able to prevail in front of Xue Tao, who had been in the officialdom for decades. He relied on the emperor's power. Although he did not hold any official position in the court, he only had a temporary ruler.

He had the power of military affairs, but because of the word "Imperial Envoy" above his head, Xue Tao could only use some small tricks against him that were not on the table.

Now outside Xingyang City, tens of thousands of people gathered to watch, and under the gaze of more than a hundred officials, large and small, Pei Yue said to Xue Tao with a smile: "Master Xue, you won't object, right?"

Such a seemingly simple and gentle sentence made Xue Tao frown.

Compared with the Furong Banquet, Pei Yue's current momentum not only comes from the emperor's power, but also benefits from his various achievements during this period. The Furong Banquet at Jiulianlian, the horse bandits outside Linqing City, and the Jiming Village

Beheading generals and defeating the enemy, plus now personally leading the army to wipe out 800 Xiwu cavalry in one fell swoop, this is Pei Yue's power.

With the added power of the emperor, great achievements in hand, and the command of the emperor's personal army, Pei Yue, although he was still just a viscount, had the confidence to negotiate terms in front of Xue Tao.

But Xue Tao has been a feudal official for so many years, how could he easily bow his head in front of him?

He looked at Pei Yue with an indifferent expression and said calmly: "Your Majesty allows you to recruit troops in Lingzhou, you can go and recruit them yourself, but I advise you to be careful in your words and deeds. Lingzhou is the Lingzhou of Daliang, and all the ministries of the state capital

The chief officials are all receiving royal salaries, so why do they want to prevent the talented people under their rule from joining the army and serving the country? By saying this, Pei Qin was trying to say that all the officials, big and small, in Lingzhou are disloyal."

The officials next to them looked nervous, wondering why this should be a happy situation for everyone, so why did they become quarrelsome when they met?

Liu Renji roughly guessed the thoughts of the two principals. From the beginning, they refused to deal with each other. Pei Yue made Xue Tao lose a lot of face at the Furong Banquet. Later, he pinched the lifeblood of the honeycomb coal and forced Pei Yue to

Yue himself led his troops to suppress the horse bandits. It is said that this place outside Linqing City

A young powerful man had more than twenty of his subordinates die, and they were the cronies he brought from Kyoto. The blame would naturally fall on Xue Tao. However, he could dissuade Xue Tao in private, but in this situation, he must firmly

From the standpoint of the governor, I can only act anxiously.

Pei Yue was not in a hurry and said calmly: "Mr.

, I have never had such an idea, would it be detrimental to Mr. Xue's identity to frame him face to face?"

Xue Tao's face turned gloomy and he said, "What if I don't agree?"

Pei Yue smiled faintly and said, "Then I have no choice but to report to Your Majesty and explain the whole matter clearly."

Liu Renji, who was standing aside, felt the tip of his tongue taste bitter.

It's not that he has never seen a young powerful man from Kyoto, but he has never seen such a difficult person.

He has dealt with calm and reserved people like Wang Jiuxuan, domineering people like Lu Jiang, and even young masters from various princes’ palaces who came to the Western Region for training. However, no matter what their temperament is, these people are still essentially young people and they always have weaknesses.

Xun. But Pei Yue was very tactful from the beginning to the end. He was so calm and could push Xue Tao into the corner with just one sentence when he had clearly made great achievements and should be proud of himself.

If Pei Yuechu arrived in Lingzhou, his threat would not have been taken seriously by Xue Tao at all. However, after the two completely different memorials were sent to Kyoto last time, which prompted Emperor Kaiping to secretly reprimand Xue Tao, the situation has changed.

Completely different.

This is Pei Yue's current situation.

Everything fell into place. He didn't have to play the role of a dandy and act stern in front of so many Lingzhou officials. He only needed to express his power with a simple sentence.

Seeing the stalemate between the two sides, Liu Renji knew that he had to come forward to smooth things over. He could only sigh quietly, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Master Pei's words are serious, Uncle Fang is just joking. You are recruiting troops in Lingzhou to deal with the situation."

When people from Western Wu invade the territory, they are trying to protect the territory and the people, so how can Uncle Fang embarrass you?"

Pei Yue nodded and said: "Don't be afraid of what you said. Master Xue, I have a straightforward temperament and my words may offend you. I hope you won't take offense."

Xue Tao knew that this was the last step offered by the other party. If there was a real falling out, even though Pei Yue would not be able to take advantage in front of him, it would shake his prestige in Lingzhou. In today's special scene, Pei Yue

He made good use of his own power to move from the ordinary Viscount to his equal position. After all, he was too careless.

When he thought of this, Xue Tao nodded slightly and said: "Pei Qinqian is a man of temperament, what crime is he guilty of?"

Pei Yue smiled and said: "Thank you Master Xue for your kindness."

From then on, the atmosphere relaxed. The officials nearby, such as Liu Renji and Zhao Xianhong, the prefect of Xingyang, came forward to compliment and congratulate them. They were all veteran officials who had been in the officialdom for many years. They did not dare to speak just because they were afraid of being hurt.

Today, it is natural that the tongue is full of lotus, and Pei Yue and Xue Tao are praised as the great cities of the country. The flattering skills of these people are naturally not comparable to those rough things like Qi Wei, the magistrate of Daoxian County. Pei Yue was vigilant again and again before suppressing the pride and elation in his heart.

Go down.

After a while of polite greetings, Pei Yue said to Xue Tao: "Master Xue, I heard that spies of Western Wu have been hiding in Lingzhou all year round. Xingyang is the state government, so there must be the most spies here. I want to build the capital here to deter

Those young people, I wonder if your Majesty can allow this?"

The so-called Jingguanzhe is a high tomb built with heads and sealed with earth.

Xue Tao said slowly: "Yes."

Pei Yue turned sideways and said, "Please."

Xue Tao was slightly surprised. He didn't know what was behind this man's arrogance. However, after thinking about it, he felt that it was all merit and demerit. It might be that this young powerful man wanted to ease the relationship with him. After all, he was going to

There were many things that still required the governor's office to cooperate, so they readily agreed.

After receiving the order, the soldiers of the Zangfeng Guard placed the heads of the Western Wu cavalry, which were loaded in donkey carts and sealed with quicklime, on the roadside.

A chilling air rose into the sky.

Although the dignitaries and common people of Xingyang City have been living in this strong city, they have also heard about the tragic situation of the people in surrounding counties and counties after they were plundered by the Xiwu cavalry. Seeing this amazing scene at this moment, countless people

The old man looked excited and pushed forward one after another to see this Beijing temple with their own eyes.

Xue Tao stood in front of the high mound made of thousands of heads, feeling chilled in his heart. He couldn't help but look at Pei Yue next to him.

Pei Yue seemed not to notice his gaze, but looked at Jingguan quietly.

The Zangfeng Guards officers stood on both sides, listening to the excited cries from the people around them, and they couldn't help but puff up their chests.

Somewhere at the base of the city wall, Wang Liyang clenched his hands into fists, his face as gloomy as water.

The strong man next to him looked at him nervously, worried that he would not be able to bear the stimulation and attack on the spot. Although he was a well-known martial arts genius in Xiwu, if he dared to reveal his identity in this situation, he would probably be attacked by tens of thousands of angry Liang

The people of the country are eating them alive, and they don't need the help of those skilled soldiers.

After a while, Wang Liyang turned around and left.

Several followers quickly followed, and one of them asked cautiously: "Master, what should we do next?"

Wang Liyang lowered his voice and said: "Notify everyone and prepare to take action!"
