Chapter 855 854 [Wise Helper]

Even though Chen Que was unparalleled in eloquence, there was no room for him to show it in front of Pei Yue.

The status and strength of the two sides are completely unequal. What's more, Daliang has amassed more than 100,000 troops on the south bank. They may continue to move south at any time, and their pressure is like a sharp knife hanging over their heads.

According to the speculations of the courtiers of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, major events in the Northern Dynasty have occurred one after another in the past two years, and the treasury must be empty. Although this is only a temporary state, it is enough for those who are thoughtful to take advantage of this God-given opportunity to stir up trouble.

Therefore, Fang Xie Xiaocai made up his mind to seize this critical time point to raid Jiangling, and even after the defeat, Emperor Qingyuan was still sure of suing for peace, because they were sure that the Northern Dynasty needed to recuperate.

However, no one expected that Pei Yue could win successive victories with tens of thousands of troops. Under such premise, it seemed possible for Pei Yue to further expand the results and even capture cities and territories by relying solely on the reserves of the southern border troops.

In short, this young powerful man has completely changed the situation on the border through his own abilities, and one thing is obvious: he has the confidence and determination to make a desperate move to determine the outcome.

Faced with Pei Yue's tough attitude, Chen knew that verbal resistance would have no effect, so he could only pick up his credentials and return to Jian'an in despair.

After repelling Chen Que, Pei Yue issued a command order, asking Jiangling and Hanyang each to send 10,000 elite troops southward to threaten many important towns on the border of the Southern Zhou Dynasty.

Baoding Bo Cai Qian could roughly judge Pei Yue's thoughts. He should continue to put pressure on the Southern Zhou Dynasty through such a gesture, and did not even rule out the possibility of sending troops to attack border towns. Although Emperor Kaiping did not appoint the commander of the Southern Army, he only gave him

Yue Yue had the right to make temporary decisions on the battle situation, but no one thought that Pei Yue's move was suspected of overstepping.

Even Cai Qian himself took it as a matter of course, because Pei Yue conquered everyone through his previous performance.

As the true confidant of Emperor Kaiping, Cai Qian couldn't help but want to ask for advice, but he couldn't see Pei Yue. Hearing that the Marquis of Zhongshan was lingering in the back house, he couldn't help but think of Ye Qihe, who was dressed in red and handsome.

The apple of Xu family's palm in Qinghe, with a smile on her face, she secretly sighed about the youthful romance.

In fact, Pei Yue was not as relaxed and relaxed as he imagined.

In the study, Pei Yue sat alone in front of the window, with a simple topographic map of the South Bank on the table.

He was writing and drawing on the paper, and his expression looked a little solemn.

A touch of fresh fragrance came from the side. Pei Yue turned around and saw Ye Qi coming closer. Looking at the ghostly writing on the paper, he pursed his lips and chuckled: "Those people may never imagine that every time you

The layout seems to be a spur-of-the-moment idea, but in fact it has been secretly planned for a long time. From the West to the South, the world only marvels at your achievements, but they don’t know how much effort you have put into it."

Pei Yue put down what he couldn't finish, turned around and said with a smile: "Why are you praising me suddenly?"

Ye Qi sat down not far away and blinked his bright eyes: "Because I never thought that one day I would hear other people's admiration for you with my own ears."

Pei Yue carefully observed Ye Qi's expression and saw that she was smiling and not angry. He immediately felt relieved and said calmly: "I have no personal relationship with that Miss Xu. When the peace talks start later, I will

Someone will send her back to the Southern Dynasty."

Ye Qi asked with great interest: "Do you think Xu Churong is not good enough?"

If someone else had asked such a question, it would naturally be a bit probing, but Pei Yue knew Ye Qi's temperament. She was so open-minded when they first met. After going through so many ups and downs, how could she be as fussy as a little daughter?

Looking at those clear eyes, Pei Yue said slowly: "She was born in the Xu family of Qinghe. This family background alone can surpass many people. In addition, her appearance and character are very good, even if there are some arrogant ones.

Her temper is harmless. It’s just that I really don’t have any thoughts about her in that regard, and it has nothing to do with whether she is good or not.”

Ye Qi smiled and said: "Actually, I think you can accept her."

The study suddenly became quiet, and the only sound left was the autumn wind blowing the leaves outside the window.

Pei Yue looked at Ye Qi in disbelief and said after a long time: "What did you say?"

Ye Qi said softly: "Sister Zhen'er shouldn't object to taking her back to Kyoto."

The two of them had already been in tune with each other for a long time, and Pei Yue certainly understood that Ye Qi was not testing or making sarcastic remarks, but was considering the feasibility of this matter very seriously.

Ye Qi continued: "I don't believe that Xu Huiyan is so ruthless and cold-blooded that he can easily abandon his own daughter. Your previous thoughts should be closer to the truth. He is leaving a way out for the Xu family in Qinghe, and

I am sure that you will not hurt Xu Churong. From ancient times to the present, marriage has always been the only way to establish a relationship. The reason why Xu Churong appears by your side is more like a group of noble families in the Southern Dynasty asking for advice."

Pei Yue sighed softly: "So the marriage of Princess Qinghe is fake, and the arrival of Xu Churong is real? The emperor of the Southern Dynasties used marriage to plot against Jiangling City, but that old fox Xu Huiyan plotted against everyone, and used the name of the court to lay out his plans.

"

Ye Qi nodded slightly and said, "If you keep Xu Churong by your side, you can give those people a reassurance."

Pei Yue stared at her face and sighed: "Ye Qi, you are too..."

"Xianhui, right?" Ye Qi smiled and said calmly: "If Xu Churong has no intention of you, I won't do anything about it. It's just that I have confirmed her feelings for you in the past few days, and the little girl looks so pitiful, plus

This matter is indeed of great benefit to you, so why not let her stay? For the Zhongshan Marquis Mansion, it is nothing more than an extra pair of chopsticks, so what will it do to me?"

Pei Yue was shocked by her domineering words and was speechless for a long time.

He couldn't help but think of what Ye Qi said back then in the northern suburbs of Kyoto: "As long as I'm here, they can only be children."

How lucky am I to meet such a wonderful woman?

However, he could still keep calm, so he said slowly: "Let me think about this matter again."

Ye Qi glanced at the draft on the table and said softly: "I will never interfere with your decision, but I think you should make plans for the future. Xu Churong's stay or stay not only represents her personally, but also your impact on the Southern Dynasty.

Influence, when the situation changes in the future, this may not be a way out."

Pei Yue was startled for a moment, then whispered: "So you know everything."

Ye Qi shook his head and said: "I don't know what you are worried about, but I know that you are not as relaxed as you seem on the surface recently. The war has been won, and the Southern Dynasty has no chance of reversal. Is there something wrong with Kyoto?"

Pei Yue said: "More than ten days ago, I used an 800-mile horse to deliver the report to Kyoto. If there were no accidents, His Majesty's decree should have been conveyed long ago. Whether it is war or peace, he must give me a righteous name."

, even if it is a temporary official position, it is better than the unfair name and unjust position it has now."

Ye Qi was no stranger to the court situation. He quickly reacted and frowned: "The emperor is wary of you?"

Pei Yue pondered: "Logically speaking, it shouldn't be the case, but the delay in response from Kyoto is not like His Majesty's style. Although it is unusual for Asuka to be a good Gongzang, there is no need for him to be so urgent."

Ye Qi thought for a while and said seriously: "In this case, you should keep Xu Churong."

Pei Yue did not deliberately show off. After thinking for a moment, he said: "That's fine."
