"Shizhong, what do you mean by this, that Fan Yi fought so hard in this battle, I am afraid that he has been branded with his father, even if he wants to explain" Xiao Shilian was stunned.

Because his private storage of grain and grass in the public security city was discovered by Li Xinchen and others, Fan Yi had to attack desperately in the later battle of Jiangling, and Fan Meng also launched an attack in the western direction of Huai, so it can be said that the Fan family should already be Xiao Maha or a person from the East Palace in the hearts of many people.

In this case, Fan Yi's return to the capital is not a bad thing for the East Palace, it is better than replacing another person who has nothing to do with the East Palace, or even has a lot to do with the history of Yangzhou Thorns, why is Li Xinchen still worried?

Not only Xiao Shilian, but Shen Zunyi also looked at it in surprise.

Li Xinchen said lightly: "Of course, this Fan Yi has worked hard for us once, but in the final analysis, he did this because he had a handle in our hands, and he desperately attacked Jiangling City, although the loss was not small, but he also made a contribution; As for Fan Meng, it was entirely because of His Majesty's personal will, so he couldn't do anything about it.

Look at the reward this time, although the rewards of Fan Yi and Fan Meng brothers are not much, many children of the Fan family have benefited from it. In other words, it is not the Fan family that His Majesty wants to suppress, but the Fan family brothers. ”

"What do you mean?" Xiao Shilian raised his eyebrows.

Li Xinchen spread his hands: "We can't let the two brothers of the Fan family serve as feudal officials outside, we want to understand, Fan Yi must also know, and now this Jingzhou is actually under the control of General Xiao, and Fan Yi is somewhat bored to continue to stay here, so take this opportunity to return to the capital, rise step by step in the court, or continue to serve as an important official in the mainland It is not impossible, it is better than in Jingzhou." ”

Shen Zunyi also reacted at this time: "In other words, in that Fan Yi's eyes, we are not his companions, but his burdens." ”

Li Xinchen bowed slightly: "In this way, when Fan Yi arrives in the capital, it's really hard to say who he is looking for in his heart, and more importantly, we have moved all the grain and grass in the Public Security City, and now he doesn't even have a handle in our hands, so although he seems to be a loser, he can choose his own whereabouts very freely." ”

After a pause, Li Xinchen said helplessly: "Put yourself in your shoes, if you are the assassin of Yangzhou, will you attract such an arm?" And if you are Fan Yi, you are far from being willing to continue to walk on the same road with the East Palace? ”

Xiao Shilian and Shen Zunyi subconsciously glanced at each other. Fan Yi and them can't be regarded as friends, at most they are just cooperating in interests. Now that Fan Yi has left Jingzhou, this cooperation will naturally be terminated, and no one dares to pack a ticket on which side Fan Yi wants to stand on after that.

Especially this cooperation, it is not very "pleasant".

"But isn't Yangzhou Thorn Shi worried" Chen Yu, who had been silent at this time, couldn't help but speak. After all, Fan Yi has the imprint of the East Palace, can Chen Shuling really trust him.

Li Xinchen shrugged his shoulders, with a bit of helplessness and bitterness in his voice: "Uncle Yu still doesn't know, this Yangzhou Thorn Shi has always been a bold master, not to mention the road he is taking now, there is no chance to turn back, since he can't see the road clearly in the dark, then he chooses to gamble, but it is far greater than doing nothing." ”

Chen Yu's face suddenly became a little solemn, and Xiao Shilian also bowed slightly.

Not to mention that Chen Shuling was originally so bold that sometimes he could even ignore the laws of his ancestors, just with his current status, if he didn't do anything, it would not be so easy to replace Uncle Chen.

Today's East Palace, in terms of Wenchen, there is the support of Pei Ji and others, and he also has Shen Jungao, Fu and others presiding, not to mention the military generals, Nan Chen's main army system has been firmly in the hands of the East Palace through this battle, not to mention Wu Mingche, the old minister in charge of military affairs, his heart is also biased towards the East Palace.

Therefore, as long as Chen Shubao does not do anything to cut off his arm, he will naturally be able to smoothly ascend to the throne.

Now Chen Shuling is desperate, and even the dead soldiers he raised have been put into it, not to mention believing in a down-and-out Fan Yi who returned to Beijing.

What's more, Chen Shuling does lack the power to balance Chen Shubao in terms of generals now, and Fan Yi is naturally a good choice.

Even after Chen Shubao ascended the throne, he would not do anything to him, and Chen Shuling had no way to ensure that Wu Mingche, Pei Ji and other old ministers, as well as rising stars such as Shen Jungao and Xiao Maha, would not settle accounts with him, after all, Chen Shubao didn't understand the truth of cutting grass and eradicating roots, but they understood it very well.

Therefore, Fan Yi, who is now sent to the door, is really the best choice for Chen Shuling.

"Is there no other way to stop it?" Shen Zunyi frowned and said, somewhat unwilling. No matter how you say it, this is to send Fan Yi to Chen Shuling's side, for the fledgling Shen Zunyi, of course, he doesn't want to accept such a fact.

And Li Xinchen said in a deep voice: "Fan Yi has been in a high position for a long time, and his mind is complicated, and it is not easy to figure it out. And he has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and he is also one of my good generals in Da Chen, since he has decided something, it should be difficult to change his mind, so instead of fighting Fan Yi's idea, it is better to control the rest of us who can definitely control it more tightly, as long as the army is controlled by the hussar general, a Fan Yi can't turn up any storms! ”

As long as generals such as Lu Guangda, Ren Zhong and Chun Yuliang stand on the side of the East Palace, or even maintain a neutral position, the East Palace will be able to win. Fan Yi, who didn't have much troops in his hands, was not afraid, and even with Fan Meng, there was no way to resist the thousands of troops under Xiao Maha's command.

Shen Zunyi nodded: "Brother Shizhong is reasonable. ”

Li Xinchen's explanation made Shen Zunyi feel at ease, but also a sense of pride. The history of Jingzhou, which originally seemed unattainable, was actually just a small fish and shrimp that couldn't turn over any wind and waves in front of their eyes!

And Li Xinchen squinted his eyes: "What makes me even more relieved now is that Your Majesty's reward this time is obviously more biased towards young generals, obviously Your Majesty is also clearly aware of the current situation of Da Chen's lack of acceptance, so what is more important now is who can have more young generals under his command!" ”

Chen Yu, Xiao Shilian and others were shocked, and at the same time bowed slightly. It can be clearly seen that young generals such as Li Xinchen and Xiao Shilian have received more rewards than those veterans, and it is naturally not difficult to speculate on His Majesty's thoughts.

"Your Highness should have already set off from Jiankang Mansion, and there are only a few days in between, so we have to hurry." Li Xinchen turned to smile and said, "It's still according to the arrangement just now, Boqing, Zunyi, let's go!" ”

Xiao Shilian and Shen Zunyi responded in unison, and quickly followed Li Xinchen.

And Chen Yu slowly turned around and looked at the three figures, a touch of rising sunlight sprinkled on the three of them, dragging out a long figure.

"It's good to be young." Chen Yu muttered with emotion.

I wonder if there is still a place for myself in this rolling tide?
