Late at night on September 8, the fourteenth year of Dahuan Jingxi, in the Jiang Mansion in Beijing, Jiang Mei was leaning on the couch, listening to the news from Yun Ke.

"Miss, I just received the flying pigeon summons, and Pei Yun's army has arrived in Jiangzhou." Yun Ke said.

Jiang Mei smiled lazily: "He must be very angry, he definitely didn't expect Gao Chi to be able to put an end to Yuan Zhen's attack!" He couldn't get Jiangzhou by the way, and he must have been annoyed. Jiang Mei snorted lightly, with a hint of sarcasm, what is the difference between Pei Yun and Yuan Kai, just one is good at hiding his ambitions, and the other is used to being unscrupulous.

I think that it was the two of them who jointly suppressed Yun Lingbo back then, and now seeing them fighting each other, there is really a trace of happiness!

"What about Jingling? Any news? Jiang Mei asked Yun Ke, she would not indulge in this kind of revenge after all, and Dahuan's stability was still her most concern.

"Ling Heng has already led his troops north, they are marching faster, and they have safely passed Xiyang County, but the chief has secretly let Yuan Shu know the actual situation in Jiangzhou, and I believe that he will lead his troops to stop Ling Heng." Yun Ke replied,

"What about our people?" Jiang Mei's expression was calm, and she couldn't see a trace of waves, these were all in her planning, and the hard work of the years, the more it was realized, the more insipid the mood became.

"Our people started from Yiyang County and have already arrived in Jingling County, and now they have infiltrated Jingling City." Yun Ke replied softly.

Jiang Mei's fingers gently tapped the sandalwood strips on the edge of the collapse, and fell into deep thought, Yiyang is the location of the Plum Blossom Valley, which is Jiang Mei's base camp, and now taking advantage of the emptiness of the Yuan clan's troops, let a force that has already been ready to sneak into Jingling City, looking for the guards of the Yuan clan to control Jingling City. First, it can be called the base for the Northern Expedition in the future, and secondly, if he occupies Jingzhou, he can also occupy the favorable terrain in the upper reaches of the Han River, in order to suppress the power of the Pei family.

"Is the Seventh Highness still Shun over there?" Jiang Mei looked up at him and asked in a low voice.

"Yiyun Pavilion has agreed to His Highness's request to provide food for the soldiers in Jingkou, and His Royal Highness the Seventh is now instructing several generals to train soldiers in Jingkou." When it came to this Seventh Highness, Yun Ke was still a little worried, would Yiyun Pavilion really be able to be alone in the future?

Jiang Mei looked at his worried face, as if she had seen through his thoughts, "Uncle Ke, you don't have to worry about the matter of Yiyun Pavilion, I am sure that I will retreat from the Seventh Highness." ”

Yun Ke has always been obedient to Jiang Meiyan, and seeing that she is so determined, he doesn't think much about it anymore.

However, Jiang Mei smiled bitterly in her heart, although she said so, is she really sure? At least for the time being, I can't think of a solution. But I can't take care of so much at the moment, and when I become famous in the future, let's deal with these things.

After Pei Yun arrived in Jiangzhou, he asked people to set up a large camp near the ferry port in Xunyang, leaving Liu Ji and other generals to guard the camp, and he took some personal soldiers to Xunyang City.

Pei Yun, who has not been dressed in military uniform for many years, is wearing white armor today, even if he is a little old, he can't hide his majestic aura, he is driving a tall horse, and his face is cold and slowly moving forward. From afar, he saw a young man in a dark official uniform, riding a white horse waiting in front of the city gate.

You don't have to think about it to know that person is Jiangzhou Assassin Shi Gaochi. Pei Yun squinted at Gao Chi from afar, but he gritted his teeth in his heart, unable to speak. also hated himself for underestimating him, and he only received good news three days ago, saying that the Jiangzhou Rebellion had been settled. I didn't expect this Gao Chi to be able to dissolve Yuan Zhen's soldiers and horses without blood. It's a good idea to invite you into the urn!

It's just that what makes him even more shocked is that Gao Chi took up the post of Jiangzhou Assassin in a short period of time, but he was able to mobilize the county soldiers of Yuzhang and Xincai, and even Yan Shiqian obeyed him, could it be that someone in the court secretly instructed him?

It stands to reason that only the Su family and Emperor Xiao can have such ability in the imperial court, I am afraid that if he takes his troops to fight, he will be guarded against him. Even so, even if he couldn't control Jiangzhou, then he had to defeat Yuan Kai, take Jingzhou, and keep Pei's advantageous position in the upper reaches.

Thinking of Yuan Kai, he suddenly had a wry smile, thinking that he had fought side by side with Yuan Kai back then, but now he was going to compete against each other, he sighed, there are no absolute allies in this world, and there is no immortal Qingshan. And now he has no way out, he can only face head-on.

When Pei Yun was tortured like this, he was already close to the city gate.

"Jiangzhou Thorn Shi Gaochi meets the general!" Gao Chi dismounted and said loudly, His Majesty's holy decree said that Pei Yun, the general who protects the country, is in charge of the military of Jiangzhou, Jingzhou, and Yuzhou, so Gao Chi has to obey Pei Yun's command now.

"General Gao is exempt!" Pei Yun smiled and said, "The general's ability to defend this Jiangzhou for His Majesty is already a great achievement, and his Japanese general must go to the imperial court and ask for credit for the general!" ”

"Thank you to the general for his love, Gao Chi doesn't dare to take credit, Gao Chi will definitely do his best to assist the general in his crusade against Yuan Kai." Gao Chi replied humbly.

"Haha....so good," Pei Yun touched his beard and smiled, "Then ask General Gao to take me to see Yuan Zhen." ”

"General, please!" Gao Chi made a 'please' gesture.

Then both of them got on their horses and entered the city together.

Yuan Zhen and his six generals were all imprisoned in the dungeon of the state capital in Xunyang City. The seven of them had been exhausted since the day they were locked in, and they continued to do so every day since, and Yuan Zhen had already guessed that this was a sign of poisoning. It's just that the seven of them were locked up in different rooms, so he didn't know about the others.

After all, Gao Chi was afraid of Yuan Zhen's identity, and arranged a more comfortable cell for him, which was full of beds and books, as if he wanted Yuan Zhen to live here. Yuan Zhen has not seen Gao Chi's figure since he drank that night, only people come to deliver food every day, and the person who delivers the food never speaks. He has no other feelings except regret and anger.

At this time, Yuan Zhen finally heard the sound of the heavy iron door being opened, and then heard some voices and footsteps.

"General, this way, please..."Gao Chi pointed to a corridor to the left and said.

They walked down an aisle, then turned left to the end, and finally stopped at the door of the innermost cell. Yuan Zhen had already noticed the visitor, he straightened his unkempt hair, and looked at Pei Yun and Gao Chi with hatred.

"Yuan Zhen, you made a mess, but you thought of the consequences today." Pei Yun looked at Yuan Zhen, who was sitting on the couch at the moment, weak, and said lightly.

Yuan Zhen snorted coldly and ignored him, he just stared at Gao Chi and scolded: "Gao Chi, you villain!" It was you who killed Yin Hong, blamed me, and then brought me to Jiangzhou, I have no grievances with you, why do you calculate me! ”

Gao Chi sneered: "General Yuan, you have already set up troops to go south on the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, you two brothers have coveted Jiangzhou for a long time, and besides, Lord Qiu, the right supervisor of the court captain, has found out that the assassin who assassinated General Yin and the assassin who assassinated the Nine Emperor Princes are the same person, I'm afraid you have been planning for a long time!" ”
