The largest house on the second floor of the battleship was the temporary master tent, and the guards informed him that his father was discussing with several generals.

"Childe has arrived." The guards shouted loudly, Pei Yuanluo was the main general, and was called the general by the army, and Pei Shengqin was just an unpopular Yulin Lang, and the official position was really not good, and the army gave Pei Yuanluo face, so he called Pei Shengqin a son.

Let the male dog and Shunqiang wait outside the door, Pei Shengqin pushed the door straight in. No one noticed him, because his father was watching several generals arguing.

I only heard a bearded general say: "General, listen to the last general, let's go down the river directly, and go to Shouyang as soon as possible to meet His Majesty, so that we can show our faces." ”

I saw a purple-shirted general scolding: "You idiot, you have no brute strength." What do we do on our southern expedition? It's to destroy the Southern Barbarians, Shouyang has a million soldiers, where can we use these people? After arriving in Jingzhou, he should have landed, and then taken Jiangling directly, and the Nanban in Jingzhou would surrender from the wind. This is the work of expanding the soil, isn't it better than you going to Shouyang to add icing on the cake? ”

But I heard a fat general say: "Lao Shi has some truth, there are many faces in front of Your Majesty, and your Majesty can remember you when you go?" If we take Jingzhou and give it to Your Majesty first, it will be a great credit. However, we can't take Jiangling directly, we should divide the troops into multiple routes, take the city separately, and then meet Chibi after Jingzhou Dading, so that it will be fast. ”

The bearded man's eyes widened and he scolded, "Bah, you two are really unconscious. Everyone in the world knows that the Southern Barbarians are weak and vulnerable. What is a great credit for grabbing a few cities from under the hands of the Nanban, and the Great Qin Dynasty lacks dozens of cities in the Nanban? How can it be important to show your face in front of Your Majesty, and if you say it in the future, we are also people who follow Your Majesty before and after the saddle. ”

The Confucian general pointed to the beard and said, "You are really unreasonable!" Then he looked at the fat man and said: "You are no better, the division of troops is simple, but it is a waste of food and grass." The army marched together, and how good it was to take Jiangling and other southern barbarians to surrender themselves, and the grain and grass saved could be used to give porridge and do good deeds in various places, and win the hearts of the people in the south for the imperial court. ”

The fat man didn't look at the weakness, and said angrily: "Okay, you old stone, I thought you were reasonable, this is bullshit, how can you take the army's grain and grass to give Nanban porridge?" General, you come to judge the reasoning, is it just to take advantage of the food and drink of those barbarians? ”

Before I knew it, the topic was involved in my father again. In addition to these three people, the other generals have their own proposals at night, and the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable. Looking at his father's constipated expression, he obviously had a headache too.

Pei Shengqin couldn't help it, so he coughed loudly and said, "Uncles, we only have 70,000 people, don't you care about the deployment of Nanban in Jingzhou?" ”

I have to say that the strategies of these generals all have some truth, and it can be said that they have their own advantages and disadvantages. However, whether it was crossing Jingzhou, taking Jiangling directly, or dividing troops to take the city, this was all based on the premise that the Yizhou Naval Division could defeat the Eastern Jin defenders in Jingzhou. Can 70,000 Yizhou sailors defeat 100,000 Jingzhou sailors? The answer given by history is no, that is, the strategy of these people is not valid. The real situation is that 70,000 troops were stopped on the edge of Jingzhou and were not allowed to advance an inch.

Pei Shengqin really wanted to ask, in the face of the Huan family's 100,000 Jingzhou sailors, who gave you such courage to be so light-hearted?

"Sheng Qin, you're here." His father cast a grateful look at Pei Shengqin, as if he was thanking Pei Shengqin for relieving him from the siege.

The generals wanted to scold, but when they saw that it was Pei Shengqin, they had to hold back their tempers and pinch their noses and call Gongzi.

Pei Shengqin waved to the generals in the house one by one, and said: "Father, uncles, the kid is invisible, I heard everyone arguing outside the door, and I couldn't help but interject, and I hope that my father and uncles will not blame." ”

Father only thought that Pei Shengqin was helping him out of the siege, so he said with a smile: "You are new to the battlefield, you don't know the information, don't blame those who don't know." There are only one or two hundred thousand soldiers and horses in total, and even if they are all pressed in Shouyang, it will be difficult to stop His Majesty's edge. Where are the surplus soldiers and horses transferred to Jingzhou, our army has entered Jingzhou, and it is still in a no-man's land. ”

Pei Shengqin smiled bitterly in his heart, but he didn't know how to say it. Father's intelligence source is very accurate, the Eastern Jin Dynasty is indeed only one or two hundred thousand people, and it is indeed far from enough to deal with the water, no matter who deduces, it will be thought that the Eastern Jin Dynasty has no extra soldiers and horses to defend Jingzhou. After all, Shouyang is not far from Jiankang, and if Jiankang is occupied by the Qin army, the Eastern Jin Dynasty will die. Where is there a reason not to prevent Shouyang and Jingzhou.

However, history is so strange, there are only 80,000 Beifu soldiers on the Shouyang side, but 100,000 troops are arranged on the Jingzhou side. Later historians speculated that this should be due to the factional struggle within the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the 100,000 Jingzhou soldiers belonged to the Huan clan, and the Huan clan was based in Jingzhou, and they were more concerned about preserving the strength of the family, and were unwilling to send troops and horses to Shouyang to support.

However, these facts and the speculations of later generations are difficult to explain to my father, and even if they are said, no one will believe them. How bad is the control of the emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty over the domestic family, only a few high-level people in the Eastern Jin Dynasty know in their hearts, and it is impossible for the former Qin side to guess. It is impossible for the generals of the Yizhou Navy Division to guess that there are 100,000 troops waiting for them in Jingzhou.

At this time, his father came over and grabbed Pei Shengqin's shoulder: "Sheng Qin came just in time, for my father to introduce you to your uncles." ”

The father pointed to the bearded general: "This is General Li Songlin, who was born in the Li clan in Longxi, and is the best at plundering and killing." ”

He pointed to the purple-shirted Confucian general: "This is General Shi Yueshi, when the eldest prince captured Xiangyang, General Shi was the first to make a contribution." ”

pointed to the fat general again: "This is General Yongjian Lanyong, who was ordered to suppress bandits in Henan twenty years ago, and has also made many military exploits." ”

The father introduced the generals present one by one, and Pei Shengqin also saluted one by one, all of whom were called uncles. From the intimacy in his father's tone, it can be judged that Li, Shi, and Yong should be regarded as his father's cronies, and the rest of the generals are slightly more estranged.

When it was Shi Yue's turn to be dressed in a purple shirt, Pei Shengqin's eyes were slightly bright, this Shi Yue was not an ordinary general. In later generations, there were good deeds who once rated the top ten famous generals of the former Qin, including Shi Yue. After the defeat of the imperial court, Shi Yue remained loyal and devoted himself to assisting the eldest prince, who was later Emperor Fu Pi of Qin Aiping. With the assistance of Shi Yue, Emperor Aiping made great efforts to turn the situation around, and finally the Murong clan, who intended to rebel, was jealous of Shi Yue and murdered him.

Shi Yue really became famous after the Battle of Weishui, although he was also famous at this time, he was far from being a famous general, and he was becoming a general under his father's account.

"With Uncle Shi helping his father, the little nephew is at ease." Pei Shengqin is telling the truth, when he thinks that there is a fierce person like Shi Yue in the army, he is naturally relieved, which greatly increases the survival rate. Even if it is not good and the plan fails, with Shi Yue protecting it, it will be easier to kill Yizhou.

Shi Yue only regarded Pei Shengqin as an ordinary politeness, and bowed slightly: "The son is too famous, the more he should help the general." ”

After introducing everyone, Pei Shengqin finally tried to meet the poor dagger and said: "Father, uncles, and little nephews are here, and they also have a plan to offer." ”

Shi Yue said with a little interest: "If the son has any good plans, you might as well say it." ”

Seeing that his father also nodded, Pei Shengqin said aloud: "Father, the child thinks that the best strategy for entering Jingzhou is to surrender without a fight. Erchen is willing to send an envoy to the Huan clan to persuade the head of the Huan family, Huan Xuan, to abandon the secret and surrender to the king. ”

This is Pei Shengqin's ultimate goal, and it is also the way to break the situation that Pei Shengqin thought about for a long time!

Huan Xuan was ambitious and refused to live as a minister for a long time, and even deposed Emperor Jin for a time after a few decades and established himself as Emperor Chu. It was also this abolition that caused a backlash from countless Jin Dynasty relics, and Liu Yu, the king of Song, took the opportunity to raise troops under the banner of opposing Chu and restoring Jin, which brought ruin to the Huan clan.

In other words, Huan Xuan was not loyal to the Jin Dynasty, and all he wanted to do was preserve the strength of the Huan clan. What Pei Shengqin needs to do is to try to break through the Yangtze River blockade line of 100,000 Jingzhou soldiers, so that the Yizhou Navy Division can reach the front line of Weishui as quickly as possible and change his life against the sky!

After the army entered Jingzhou, it was completely possible to use some empty promises to stabilize Huan Xuan, such as tearing the soil and sealing the king, or even calling the feudal state, you can respond to it first. fooled him to remove the blockade of the Yangtze River and connived at the Yizhou Navy Division to go down to Yangzhou. If you don't have to fight with the Qin army, you can preserve your strength. can get the promise of the "Great Qin Dynasty" again, and Huan Xuan doesn't care if the master on his head is Emperor Qin or Emperor Jin.

As long as Pei Shengqin is allowed to envoy Huan, with his understanding of Huan Xuan, the probability of success of this plan is not low!

Father shook his head and smiled: "My father has said before that Jingzhou has no soldiers to defend, so what is the difference between Huan Xuan's surrender and non-surrender, there is no need to do more." ”

The rest of the generals also echoed it, and everyone knew that after the imperial court pacified the Southern Barbarians, they would naturally be rewarded for their meritorious deeds. If this Huan Xuan takes the initiative to surrender, when he is rewarded for his meritorious deeds in the future, he must share a large amount of credit with the merits of Jingzhou. Rather than this, it is better to fight until he is captured or surrendered, and then the credit for recovering Jingzhou will be the Yizhou sailor. Anyway, there are no soldiers in Jingzhou, and it won't cost much to take it.

Those who can do it are generals, and there are some goods in their stomachs, and at this time, persuading Huan Xuan is clearly a loss-making deal, and he will give up a lot of credit, and the fool agrees!

Pei Shengqin could also guess the thoughts of the generals, and as soon as his eyes rolled, he said excitedly: "Father and your uncles decided that Jingzhou has no soldiers, if Jingzhou is guarded by the Southern Barbarian Army, and the enemy is outnumbered, what will I do?" ”

Father saw Pei Shengqin's more real face, after all, he was still young and crazy, and he was outnumbered, but Yizhou had 70,000 sailors, and Nanban could not conjure up 100,000 troops, so they didn't want to be healthy? couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "If Jingzhou is really guarded by a large army, my father will follow you and let you persuade you to surrender." ”

Pei Yuanluo thought to himself, let's deal with this kid, after a few days the army arrived in Jingzhou, and saw with his own eyes whether there were soldiers in the Nanban or not, he naturally stopped messing around.

Pei Shengqin was secretly happy in his heart, the radical general really came, and said with a smile: "All uncles have heard it, there is no joke in the army, the child thanks his father for his success!" ”

What I want is my father's words! Otherwise, even if Pei Shengqin's words are proved in the future and Pei Shengqin's suggestion is adopted, my father is very likely to worry about my safety, so he will send another person to be a lobbyist. This matter is very important, and Pei Shengqin is not at ease to leave it to others. What's more, only he knows how ambitious Huan Xuan is, it is difficult to change people to treat the symptoms, and it is difficult to succeed in persuading him.

The rest of the generals obviously thought that Pei Shengqin was messing around, and they all laughed and dealt with it.

"The last general has written it down."

"Yes, the last general will testify to Childe."

"Bet between the Lord and the Son, and we will take it as a witness."

When my father saw that Pei Sheng and Qin had something to do, he couldn't cry or laugh, and waved his hand again and again: "Okay, for my father and the generals and the generals still have military information to discuss, you can retreat first." ”
