Mu Xiao and Youxiao smiled bitterly, he was a little unclear about this matter with Pei Yun for a while, Mu Xiao and himself were also quite puzzled, Jingling's affairs were all handled by Jiang Mei, and he didn't know what the situation was in Jingling now. However, Jiang Mei is also Xiao Mocheng's person, but according to Pei Yun's thoughts, then Jingling must arrange his own henchmen. So it's a bit tricky.

"Pei Xiang, don't hide it, Jingling is not in my hands, when I captured Jiangxia, there were already several people and horses taking the opportunity to send troops to Jingling, I once asked Jiangmei to go to Jingling, she said that Jingling has been occupied by a general named Feilian in Yiyang County. I suggest that Ling Heng go to Jingling, after all, he is most familiar with Jingling. Mu Xiaohe replied, but he was also worried in his heart, although Pei Yun was currently on the side of the Nine Emperor Princes, but after all, he had great power, so Xiao Mocheng could not fully trust him, so no matter what, he couldn't let him control Jingxiang completely.

Pei Yun's heart sank, and he already vaguely felt that Jingling and Jiangxia were not under his control, and there were three most important military strongholds in the entire Jingzhou, namely Xiakou, Jingling and Jiangling. He is bound to take all three places in his hands, but the lack of good in his hands will be his biggest weakness. However, in the current situation, even if there is a general, there is no reason to attack Jingling and Jiangxia.

But fortunately, Emperor Xiao gave him the power to control all parts of Jingzhou, at least nominally Jingling and Jiangxia were under his control, and he hadn't even seen Cheng'an, so Ling Heng could have a good meeting, and let him go to Jingling to explore the truth first. Pei Yun sighed in his heart, no matter what, it seems that Jingling and Jiangxia can only wait for Xu Tuzhi to gain a foothold in Jingzhou.

"Okay then, let's arrange it according to what the prince said!" Pei Yun said helplessly.

Mu Xiaohe knew that he was unwilling, and the two important places in Lingling and Jiangxia were not guarded by his henchmen. So he comforted: "Pei Xiang, now that the Yuan family has fallen, people everywhere are panicking, Pei Xiang has just quelled the rebellion, and it is natural that he has not yet gained a firm foothold for a while, and when he has the opportunity one day, Pei Xiang can start to change his guard." ”

Pei Yun nodded, "That's all it can be." After that, he raised a glass of wine and drank with Mu Xiaohe.

"Then how should the generals in Jiangzhou arrange it?" Mu Xiaohe asked softly, he was referring to Hao Zhanwei, Xu Liang and others.

"Hao Zhanwei is the first general to enter Xiakou, and I have written to the imperial court. He is General Ning Shuo. Let him guard Xiyang County, and let Xu Liang, Guo Shoucheng and General Gao's two lieutenants go back to Jiangzhou! No matter what, you can't let General Gao be a bearish assassin! Pei Yun smiled a little bitterly,

Regarding the generals in Jiangzhou, he also made some thoughtful considerations, Xu Liang, Guo Shoucheng and others are Gao Chi's confidants and favorite generals. It's not necessarily a good thing to keep them around. Hao Zhanwei is different. He is Yin Hong's old general, and now he has to be reused by himself, so he must be able to use it for himself. So he asked him and Chu Yutang to guard Echeng and Xiyang, and guard the two gateways to the east of Jingzhou.

Now his biggest headache is Jingling and Jiangxia in the upper reaches and Jiangzhou in the downstream. I wanted to finish my work in one battle and firmly control the upper reaches of Jiankang, but now it seems that it is unsatisfactory, and it is not easy to come to this Nine Emperors, Mu Xiaohe and Yiyi almost occupied the superior terrain of the upper reaches of Xiakou. In Pei Yun's opinion, Jingling and Jiangxia may have fallen into the hands of the Nine Emperor Princes. However, at that time, his troops were really limited, and Mu Xiaohe took Jiangxia directly without meeting him, after all, it was all to quell Yuan Kai's rebellion, so he was helpless.

He sighed slightly, the current Shi clan is really not as good as before, and his tactic of wanting to swallow Jingxiang alone has also failed. It seems that Emperor Xiao's determination to regain imperial power is not small, but he will not let Emperor Xiao succeed so easily, and he will fall into the Yuan family, as well as the Zhang family and the Xie family. Pei Yun was also thinking about how to balance the forces of the various clans in Beijing.

At this time, Mu Xiaohe on the side suddenly remembered Xie's uncle and nephew, and asked, "What about Xie Kuang and Xie Tinglin?" "The Xie family's uncle and nephew served in Jingzhou to suppress the Yuan family's power, but now that the Yuan family has fallen, presumably Pei Yun will not keep them in Jingzhou anymore.

"I've already asked them, Xie Kuang has been working abroad for many years, he wants to go back to Beijing, as for Xie Tinglin..."Pei Yun had a calculating chuckle on the corner of his mouth, "He has to go back, and if he doesn't go back, he has to go back!" "Pei Yun doesn't want to leave another court eyeliner in Jingzhou.

Mu Xiaohe immediately understood what he was thinking, so he suggested: "In order for them to know how to advance and retreat, Pei Xiang might as well go to the court and find a good place for them!" Xiao He also looked at Pei Yun with a mysterious smile.

Pei Yun's eyes lit up when he heard this, "It should indeed be so..."He pondered for a while, and then said: "I can express Xie Kuang for serving as the assassin of Yuzhou, and Xie Tinglin can serve as the Zhongshu Shilang, these two positions are not available to others, presumably the Xie family should be satisfied." ”

Mu Xiaohe nodded, it seems that Pei Yun has given up Yuzhou, although Xie did not make great contributions in this battle of Pingxi, but Xie Hui did a good job in the dispatch of military rations in the court, and Xie Kuang and Xie Tinglin secretly assisted on the front line, which is also a great credit.

"Pei Xiang's proposal, presumably Your Majesty will gladly agree!" Xiao He said with a smile.

"Hehe......."

The two were silent for a while, and Mu Xiaohe pondered that it was time for him to return to Beijing, so he said while drinking: "Pei Xiang, I'm going to return to Beijing tomorrow!" ”

Pei Yun raised his eyebrows and looked at him when he heard this, and after thinking for a while, he smiled and said: "It's okay, here in Jingzhou, the old man can't leave for a while, and I hope that the prince will return to His Majesty first, and the old man will wait for His Majesty's edict in Xiakou!" ”

Mu Xiao and his head responded, Pei Yun meant that he understood very well in his heart, it was nothing more than waiting for His Majesty to recognize his status as the lord of Jingzhou, and when he returned to Beijing, he was afraid that there would be a turmoil.

In the afternoon of the same day, Pei Yun, Mu Xiaohe and a group of soldiers once again discussed the garrison generals and the fortification of troops in various places, because Mu Xiaohe will return to Beijing tomorrow to resume his life, and other generals also have to go to various places to take up their posts. So that night, Pei Yun held a banquet in the Xiakou Military Mansion to celebrate his achievements. The generals all drank and laughed, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

It's just that before Mu Xiaohe was drunk, Pei Yun talked to Mu Xiaohe.

Now that Pei Yan is dead, Pei Lanying is in the hot filial piety, Pei Lanying is an orphan, and Pei Yun has to plan for Pei Lanying. So taking advantage of the atmosphere of the banquet, Pei Yun asked Mu Xiao to discuss this matter.

Pei Yan just died, and Pei Yun, as a nephew, naturally couldn't drink, so he replaced wine with water and was very sober.

"Xiao He, what are you going to do about you and Lan Ying?" Pei Yun held up the cup and asked while gesturing to Mu Xiaohe. Pei Yun has always been an arrogant person, but only in the affairs of the Yun family back then, he did feel guilty, so he has always been very polite to Mu Xiaohe. (To be continued......)
