Capital

Although Pei Ziyun said that he was light and simple, this was just not to harass people, and he went out of camp on the third day of the first month, first by land, and then by changing boats and moving along the waterway.

Pei Ziyun Jue is in Zhenjun, grasping the overall situation of hundreds of thousands of troops, and he will do it quickly along the way, without saying anything all the way, close to the wharf of the capital, at this time, the sea is wide and the sky is wide, and there are thousands of waves, although there is a cold wind, Pei Ziyun is not afraid, and he can see the city wall from afar.

When I got to the pier, I saw that although it was cold in winter, even the trees were covered with frost, and it looked like it was snowing, but boats were moored everywhere, and the shore was bustling with people.

From time to time, there are passenger ships passing by, Pei Ziyun is not wearing an official uniform, he looks like a young man, there is a maid and a young lady pointing and pointing, and laughter is heard from time to time.

The soldiers were listening and laughing, and they couldn't help but let go of their tense faces, with a wisp of unconscious smile, and just approached the boat, so they pointed and said, "Zhenjun, someone has greeted you." ”

Pei Ziyun smiled and said, "I saw it." ”

Several people are in civilian clothes, but you can see the solemn atmosphere as soon as you stand down, the ship is anchored, the bridge is docked, and the leader is a person about thirty years old, not handsome, but a pair of eyes are shining, the expression is resolute, revealing the atmosphere of a soldier, and when he sees it, he immediately catches up: "Wu Xiangwei Qianhu Kedu see Zhenjun." ”

Pei Ziyun got off the boat, glanced at the person, and asked casually, "The rumors have been released?"

Ke Du was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't want Zhenjun to be so direct, so he immediately responded: "It's all released, according to your orders, we only leaked it to the people of the Daolu Division, but I don't want to have a Taoist official leak it, and it will be passed on to King Lu through secret channels." ”

As he spoke, Ke Du's eyes were cold, and he was cold: "I don't want to really have a potential Daolu Division of anti-thieves." ”

"Hmm" Hearing Ke Du's announcement, Pei Ziyun nodded, there were a few ox carts parked at the dock earlier, and there were many people, so Ke Du didn't say anything, and led the way in front.

The coachman came out of a thousand tunes, and as soon as he started it slightly, he slid out steadily, without the slightest bump, and there was a small stove and a table in it, and tea was boiling.

Ke Du personally poured a cup of tea and served it, Pei Ziyun took the tea, leaned firmly on the mat, looked at the sliding scenery outside and said: "Daolu Division is still meritorious, but the family business is big, and there are always some city fox and club rats, besides, for the sake of the imperial court, the recent loss has been bigger, and it is normal to have a little emotion." ”

These words were faint, Ke Du straightened up and sat on one side, and sneered: "Daolu Si eats the imperial court, he has to do things for the court, it is normal to have sacrifices, and if he has a grudge, he is a chaotic minister and a thief, and he can be killed!"

"Besides, even if you have a little emotion, it's not a reason to lose your sincerity to the thief. Kodu said this: "Sacrifice, who has not sacrificed?"

"When the country was founded, I don't know how many people died, could it be that they could collaborate with the enemy because of this? Even if they are today's nobles, a few of them did not fight for their lives, and if they chose this path, they would have the consciousness of effective death. ”

"I have to investigate this matter thoroughly and kill these city fox society rats cleanly. ”

Ke Du is a person sent by the emperor, speaking fiercely and arrogantly, Pei Ziyun couldn't help but look at this person twice, this person's face was red, with a murderous aura, and he had some understanding, he must be the descendant of a heroic martyr.

Pei Ziyun smiled, didn't say much, just a trivial matter, how many people can bear such a betrayal? Not to mention such a military family, throwing his head and spilling blood for the imperial court, there is room for a little flaw in his eyes.

All the way to the west, you can see the former spring garden, this is located in the west of the Beijing Division, it was originally the garden of the former dynasty Yunwu Marquis, and then transformed into the palace, the founding of the Great Xu, self-love this scenery, so it is renovated, but the emperor is stationed here, it seems lonely and killed.

"Warrant?" Before the ox cart approached, the soldier stationed in the garden stopped and asked loudly, Ke Du lifted the curtain and got out of the car, handed the token, and the soldier checked that it was correct, and then handed the token over: "My lord, please come in." ”

"Driving" the coachman was expressionless, and went inside, arrived at a door, stopped, Pei Ziyun got out of the car, and saw the dense forest and bamboo from a distance, led in by the eunuch, through a flower hole, and arrived at a small hall, at this time, the emperor sat inside, several eunuchs and palace maids served, and the beast stove burned with fiery red carbon, and the palace was roasted hot.

The emperor was holding a fold and looking at it, he couldn't see his expression, his eyebrows were slightly trimmed, and he looked majestic, frowning from time to time, as if he was thinking, he picked up the teacup in front of him, dialed the water with the lid of the cup, and took a sip.

"Pei Zhenjun asks to see!" the eunuch entered the palace and broke the silence, and when the emperor heard it, he couldn't help but smile, put the fold in his hand, and straightened up: "Come in!"

"True Monarch, Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time. The eunuch whispered and introduced, Pei Ziyun nodded slightly, his steps entered calmly, and the eunuch and maid all bowed down and did not hear a word.

Entering the palace, he saw the emperor, Pei Ziyun bowed down, listened to the courtesy and got up, the emperor looked at Pei Ziyun and waved his hand, followed the emperor's gestures, and the eunuchs and palace maids all retreated.

Pei Ziyun also looked at the emperor seriously, when he was originally the prince, he was still a little cowardly, or weak, but now he looks at it again, he has majesty, and he can't be happy or angry.

The emperor said: "The true monarch has come from afar, it has been hard, come here, give you a seat, give tea." ”

The eunuch immediately stepped forward and handed the pier to him, Pei Ziyun sat down and took the tea, the tea was fragrant, and it was refreshing just to smell it.

Ke Du made three kneeling and nine bows, and presented a list, the emperor looked at it, and his face turned slightly red: "There are still people in the Daolu Division who have betrayed, and these thieves can really be killed." ”

After speaking, he turned to Pei Ziyun and asked, "I have already read the excerpt on the Qing, but there are still some details, and I haven't understood it yet." ”

Pei Ziyun got up and bowed: "The minister is here, just to solve your majesty's doubts, please unfold the map." ”

The emperor nodded, and immediately someone unfolded the map, Pei Ziyun took a few steps forward, and pointed and said: "Now there are four major battalions, like four millstones, including Lian Chen, constantly restraining and consuming the power of King Lu, making it difficult for it to enter, this is the situation of the trapped Jiao." ”

The emperor looked at the pointing, his expression became serious, his mind was worried, and the situation was gradually cleared, and with Pei Ziyun's detailed explanation, it seemed that he really saw the four grinding discs grinding iron and stone, and the king of Lu was worn out little by little, and he couldn't help nodding, but he was silent.

Pei Ziyun stretched out his hand again and drew on the map: "Your Majesty is anxious, Your Majesty released a few days ago, and many generals were released, these generals did not have much military power, and their families and families were in the capital, so they could only serve Your Majesty with one mind - the actual effect was not bad." ”

"Following Li Yuanyong, Zhao Dalin beheaded 1,100 and captured two county seats, and Ji Han beheaded 900 and captured one county. ”

"In terms of the overall situation, victory or defeat is not important, the important thing is that if you are passive defensive, the enemy can also draw troops and food, and concentrate on fighting a war of annihilation. ”

"It can be said that with this strategy alone, King Lu is bound to lose. ”

The emperor listened to it and looked at it for a long time before he sighed: "This is the wisdom of Qing. ”

Looking at Pei Ziyun again, the thoughts in his heart were rolling, even if he became the emperor, he had to admit that King Lu could be above himself, thinking of this, he exuded a murderous aura, and asked: "When can King Lu be captured and brought into Beijing?"

After a pause, he said to himself: "Although I don't know the art of war, I can also see that although our side will win, it will take a lot of time - presumably Qing will come to see me quickly, there must be a follow-up, Qing just say it." ”

The emperor said, showing a hint of a smile, for the emperor, Pei Ziyun will never let him down, thinking like this, his thoughts drifted a little, remembering some arrangements of his father, just thinking about it, Pei Ziyun's voice broke the emperor's thoughts, and only listened to this person.

"Yes, if you spend it like this, our side will win, but it may take three or even four years to do it, and countless grains, grass, soldiers and horses will be consumed, but Your Majesty has newly ascended the throne, and if you want to create peace, you have to Buwei Yunei, it is better to be sooner than later, and the war is not allowed to be delayed too much, so the minister wants to find an opportunity to annihilate the main force of King Lu. ”

"You're right, in fact, I'm also looking forward to destroying the main force of King Lu in one fell swoop, taking the lock of King Lu and taking it into Beijing, I want to ask him in front of the Taimiao if he dares to face Taizu - but with the matter of loyalty and diligence, I have to be cautious, and if I lose again, I am afraid that the government and the opposition will be shaken, according to me, it can be safe, or it is safer. Listening to the annihilation of the main force, the emperor was first overjoyed, and then frowned and said, it seems that as long as it is a sure victory, it is acceptable to delay for three or five years.

Pei Ziyun smiled when he heard this, the emperor was worried clearly, and said: "The emperor is wise, not in a hurry, he is really born with strength, and it is the blessing of his subjects, but King Lu has a decisive personality, this dilemma is formed, I am afraid that he will not be able to hide it, he will not die of waste, and he will find an opportunity to break through." ”

The emperor listened to a chill in his heart, King Lu's temperament, when he was the prince, he understood, ambitious, adventurous, and good at strategy, paused for a moment, looked at the map, only to see that on the map, King Lu's occupation area was so dazzling, which made the emperor hesitate.

In a few years, no one can guarantee whether there will be an accident.

"Aiqing, what do you think?"

The emperor groaned and said, Pei Ziyun bowed: "Your Majesty, King Lu will not settle down, it is inevitable that he will break through the encirclement and find life, although the grinding plate is tightly locked, but instead of letting King Lu break through at a place and time that we don't know, it is better for us to guide ourselves." ”

"The plan of the ministers is to deliberately create a gap, so that King Lu misjudges the situation, chooses the breakthrough we specified, and can annihilate it in one fell swoop. ”

Saying this, he took out a fold in his arms and handed it over, the emperor still had some doubts in his eyes, took the fold and looked at it, which had detailed countermeasures, as he looked at it, his eyebrows first wrinkled, and then gradually eased.

After reading it, the emperor exhaled deeply, spit out all the restlessness in his heart, walked a few steps in the hall, and suddenly said quietly: "I see that this plan is acceptable, so I will follow this." ”

"As for the Daolu Division, he was originally a royal minion, but he was resentful and betrayed the master, Kedu, you go and clean it up. The emperor said lightly, and a trace of murderous air flowed out.

Ke Du's heart sank, and he kowtowed: "The minister understands!"
