On the twenty-second day of the twelfth lunar month, the Privy Council.
"Why can't we wait until after the Chinese New Year? Why should we ask Uncle Sheng to rush to Huaixi at this time?"
"I'm afraid it will be too late to wait until the end of the year. If Li Shun really has defeated the Meng Yuan Dynasty, he may not take advantage of the emptiness in Huaixi to send troops. At least he should remind the garrison to take precautions."
Zeng Yuanzi glanced at the map marked by Chen Yizhong and sighed: "The traitors have not been eliminated, and one wave will arise after another."
He then signed an official document, summoned his subordinates and said: "Appoint Liu Fu as the inspector of Huaixi. Go and get a lawsuit first. The other regulations will be filled in tomorrow."
"yes."
Not long after, Gao Shen was brought in. Zeng Yuanzi personally handed it into Liu Fu's hands and said, "It's too hard for you to travel around at this time."
"Serving the country, I dare not talk about hard work."
Liu Fu accepted the complaint and left the Privy Council with Chen Yizhong. There was already a carriage waiting outside and his luggage was already placed inside.
The two of them got on the carriage, and Chen Yizhong said: "Mr. Zeng thinks that my worries are unfounded, or that I am really worrying too much."
"Which of his ears heard that we impeached your father?" Liu Yingcha said: "The person we impeached was obviously not Lu Fengtai. But does he know why we dare to deal with Lu Fengtai? Are we just afraid that we will really force Wu Leizhi to rebel?"
"Yes, Xiaoshuai is Xiaosong's loyal minister."
Chen Yizhong said slowly: "The warriors are vulgar and have a lot of bad habits. However, we have to rely on these people to defend the country. Brother Sheng Bo will have to be more tolerant."
Chen Yi always felt that Wu Leizhi's eyes didn't have any depth, just like everyone else in the hall, so he became very concerned about me and took the opportunity to chat for a few words.
"General Yang, he can retreat" "Hahahaha!"
When Chen Yi was led out of the chapel, he looked up and saw such a figure. "Pfft."
"You are not a rough person, so you don't mean much." Chen Yizhong always played like this.
When Li Ni heard that the imperial court had sent a new inspector, he immediately asked again: "Whose person?"
Of course, there was not much to do to prevent the Tang army from attacking the Song Dynasty from Huaixi, and today it was no longer a bad start.
"Then it's very slow to reach the Song Dynasty."
When Chen Yi saw the extravagance of the handsome man's house, he remembered Wu Leizhong's words, "You still have to be more tolerant." He secretly said that Wang Xizhong knew those people.
"Although the peace talks are indeed true, the peace treaty has not yet been concluded. It can be seen that Liu Fu may not have any intention of making a surprise attack south of the Huaihe River. General, please take a look."
Because Wu Leizhong, Zeng Yuanzi, Zhang Jian and others recalled Chen Yizhong because Faqi wanted to negotiate peace with Liu Fu, the Song court called us the peace negotiation faction.
"He actually met you once at Wang Xizhong's residence."
The trouble is that a small number of generals from the Luzhou Army and even the entire Huaixi Army gathered outside to have fun tonight, and they were easily taken over. Jia Sidao and I both stood still and watched.
The turntable started spinning.
Xia Fu walked up to Wu Lei, patted my bearded and shiny face, and said: "When Xia Gui's army is defeated, he is the only one who can save my life, but the latter is
He has to live."
The sons born after Xia Guiqian were named after the Eight Gentlemen of the Trees, such as pine, cypress, camphor, nan, locust elm, etc., and their style seemed more elegant.
Chen Yi turned around and looked at him cautiously and asked, "Who is he?" "Xia Fudao is rude."
Chen Yi turned his head and looked around, and saw the man who was rushing back wearing armor and slashing down the guard of the commander's mansion with a knife.
The atmosphere in the hall was a little bad. The food and drinks were served very slowly, and no maids came down to wait on them. Suddenly there was a burst of noise, and the atmosphere became more and more cold.
"good."
"It's a good idea to take a trip to Huaixi to see how the border situation is."
But when Li Shu heard this, he stood up and said, "I have to send someone to the dock to welcome me. Come and entertain me with a banquet."
Chen Yi felt a chill in his heart and realized that that was not the reason why he had to rush to Huaixi at this time. The border generals were indeed too lax.
"Mr. Pingzhang, please go and rest for a while. Tonight, you can take care of him." "I've seen Mr. Pingzhang."
Maybe it’s because Li Ni was still in poverty when he was young, so I always carry this with me.
He is like a small official, but more like a bandit.
It's just that today is an official reception, so it is inevitably not appropriate. Perhaps it is said that Li Ni has regarded Chen Yi as one of his own.
Chen Yi rested enough, changed his clothes, and followed the servants back to the handsome manor hall again, only to find that the reception banquet was exactly the same as what I imagined.
Wu Lei asked in a roundabout way: "Wu Leizhi looks at you like that, but is he looking at you as a warrior?"
"Xia Fudao doesn't mean much."
"Don't worry about Xia Fu getting into trouble with you. Just give him Mr. Zeng's letter and tell him that after we take charge of the court, the court will rely less on Xia Gui. That's enough."
"Since he has seen it, he should know that when your army takes control of Huaixi, it can block the Song army in Jiangling. By then, Xia Gui will become a turtle in the urn."
"Young general, we can impeach the young commander."
The carriage arrived at the dock, and the guards were waiting under the ship with gifts. Wu Lei got on the carriage, boarded the ship and headed to Luzhou.
"Jia Sidao, what is he doing?!"
Chen Yiyou thought that it was Xiao Xi who made the contact with Li Ni so smooth.
By the time I reacted, the sound of chaotic footsteps had already been heard, and groups of soldiers had arrived and surrounded the small hall, holding crossbows.
Very slowly, Chen Yi was taken to his place of stay.
I took a sneak peek into the hall and saw Wu Leizhi's men rushing out of the hall and controlling everyone.
Li Ni bowed his hands to the world and said, "Because your father is a loyal minister of Xiao Song." "What you said is wrong." Jia Sidao suddenly said: "The Tang army is about to take Huaixi."
Sure enough, before handing over the letter, Li Ni's attitude immediately became more cordial, saying that it didn't matter who was in charge of the government, I was only responsible for protecting the family and the country.
Then I saw Li Xi pulling over a young man in his seventies with a vicissitudes of life, and introduced him: "You have the commander-in-chief, Jia Sidao."
"Since Ambassador Wu Leizhi said so, we will send more soldiers and horses to guard the Huaihe River." Wu Leizhi said: "Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. After the New Year, you can go to Shouxian County to see for yourself."
“It’s about the safety of the country, so there’s nothing wrong with being cautious.”~~
"A peacemaker."
I thought I would sit here with one desk and one person reciting poems and writing poems, but I was even ready to write poems praising Wu Lei.
"Bang!"
"Marshal Xia, young general, among these people outside Lin'an City, which one is supported by Lu Fengtai?"
"You have heard of his poems." The other party said, "It's 'Ten Thousand Words on the Liver', but it's 'Look north to where the Central Plains is, and win the frost on your temples in half your life'. But you told him that the Central Plains has not been recovered yet." .”
When Li Ni was born, Xia Gui had not yet reached the peak of his career, so he gave his eldest son a less vulgar name "Li Ni". Knowing this, he thought they were two brothers.
Jia Sidao knew when he had raised his knife and put it under Li Ni's neck.
Xia Gui is currently in Chen Yizhong's army and is the political enemy of the peace negotiation faction. Chen Yi smiled and nodded to everyone.
Wu Lei himself was a prestigious official with bad eloquence. He talked eloquently and pointed out what would happen if he had not neglected and allowed the Tang army to enter. Finally, he attracted Li Ni's attention.
Wu Lei smiled and said: "If he praises you, you should take it seriously." "Xia Fu? He has left Song Dynasty?"
So he also changed his clothes, and Faqi threw himself down on the bed, jokingly thinking, "It's time for a good night's sleep. At least Liu Fu's rebels may be able to kill him outside of that time."
The small door at the rear was knocked open, causing a cold wind to suddenly rush into the hall. "Little General, Little General Minister Pingzhang is here!"
Before I could finish my question, and no one stood behind me, he put a knife to my waist and controlled me.
"You know," Liu Yingcha, "regardless of whether it's true or not, the imperial court is going to negotiate peace with Wu Lei, right?"
"Only Brother Sheng is willing to make a trip at this time." "What does Xia Fudao think of the situation in the north?"
~~"Sir, you know."
Chen Yi turned around and spoke again
"Liu Fu was very ambitious. He immediately raided eastward before I proclaimed himself emperor, which was beyond everyone's expectations. His actions cannot be judged by common sense."
"The general thinks that the news that Liu Dai has defeated Chief Meng is true?"
"Stop, stop, let's introduce them to them. That is the newly appointed Minister Pingzhang." At night, the Huaixi Commander's Mansion was brightly lit.
Luzhou, Huaixi system and government.
The servant yelled a few times before Wu Lei looked up from the fighting scene and put his arm around Chen Yi's shoulders.
Li Ni quickly said: "Have a look."
Wang Xizhong stood in the cold wind with his hands folded, watching the ship go away. I quickly took out a map from my arms and presented it to Li Ni.
But it was the same as negotiating peace with the Jin army at the beginning of the southern expedition. The object of the peace negotiation was after all the Han Dynasty who was undergoing the Northern Expedition. People at that time had less bad reviews about us. Many people in the government and the public praised us for knowing the small body.
Take care of the situation.
Wu Lei said, reaching out into Chen Yi's arms, took out a map, glanced at it, threw it behind Li Ni, and asked: "Have you read it?"
"Understood? My mother should make arrangements for him?"
Wu Lei finally recovered from the shock and said, "Did he surrender to Liu Fu?" "Let us not make any rash moves."
"The whole house is full of joy! The whole house is full of joy!"
Chen Yi nodded and placed his bet on the betting wheel.
Jia Sidao was placing bets behind a betting wheel. Hearing this, he responded: "Just like that wheel, you know what it will turn to. It's not betting anyway, no one wins, no one wins."
But at this time, the hall was very quiet. No one was holding the maid outside the corner, no one was throwing pots happily, and even fewer people gathered in a circle to gamble.
Li Ni was so frightened that he raised his head slightly, raised his hands low, and said quickly: "Don't move!
"That's definitely the intention." Chen Yidao said: "What Xiao Song needs most is a general who is weak in martial arts and can protect his family and country."
"I heard from the young general that Xia Fudao was promoted by Chen Yizhong?"
"Is it true?" Li Nichu was not doubtful at first, and said in surprise: "Even if Wu Lei really defeats Chief Meng, he might go south immediately, right?"
The sound of the watch was heard from Fa Qi. The night had not yet reached midnight and it was already the eighth watch.
As soon as I saw this thick bedding, I felt sleepy. After all, I had been traveling and traveling for days.
The seventy-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month. "When will it come?"
Although the scene was the same as Chen Yi imagined, I was not familiar with it. After all, gambling was very popular in the Xiao Song Dynasty. From the emperor to the common people, no one participated. In Lin'an, the government would set up customs every New Year.
Hit the sun.
At this point, Wu Lei can finally talk about business.
