On the Yimaguan Plateau, Cui Ning's army camped for more than ten miles, the bonfire was like stars in the night sky, Cui Ning wore black hammer armor, tied a brocade mink, and a big beard was particularly majestic, hahaha laughed, and ordered the cow to put wine, and feast on his own side and friendly soldiers.

"Gao Lang is unharmed!" The beautiful girls who were dancing in Cui Ning in the tent saw Gao Yue pacing in, and hurriedly came over to salute and say goodbye.

"All of you little aunts are well, and you are doing well." It was a chore for Gao Yue to identify who was who in this group of beauties, and he could only do it in a group.

"Duan Chenggong is in Anding City, planning the southern expedition to Fengxiang?" Hearing Gao Yue's story, Cui Ning asked, but he could also understand that now that Duan Xiushi was back in charge of the camp in Anxi's Northwest Court, and he was in the rank of Tai Lieutenant, it was impossible for him to come to greet him, so he could only let my son-in-law be the representative.

"It's cold in the north, Gao Lang come for a drink." Cui Ning lifted the flask and poured Gao Yue a glass of wine.

Gao Yue respectfully took it, and then drank it all.

Cui Ning touched his beard and said that our son-in-law has not seen each other for a long time, and today I am not drunk, I have a few new "wine records" in Lingzhou Mansion, all of them are beauties of Kangguo and Huifu, each of them is long and white-skinned, and can sing and dance.

"The little son-in-law Zuojun has a habit of drinking very little, let alone consuming beauty, for fear of delaying the military plane." Gao Yue prevaricated.

Cui Ning burst out laughing, shook his head and said My daughter Ah Ni, obviously not fierce, how did you make Gao Lang obedient? Then with sympathy, he sighed and said Gao Lang, you have been married for three or four years, so far you only have one wife and one concubine, and there are no other house women, and you don't touch the rumors of women, too pure-hearted, right? No wonder there is a joke in the market, saying that there is a real imperial history sitting in your palace, there is a miscellaneous female imperial history at home, your wife's sister Li Niang helps her sister, and she is a female imperial history behind the screen, and now only a degree branch member Wailang (Zhihui) has been summoned.

"Son-in-law Fu Qian, with Ah Ni and Zhi Hui, the master is very satisfied." Gao Yue heard this rumor again, and he didn't feel a little sour.

"Hey, it's too small for a big husband to be like this." Cui Ning sighed.

I, I'm going to sigh! It's the first time I've seen my father-in-law who instigated his son-in-law to find a woman.

To put it mildly, Gao Yue finally led the topic to the military.

He suggested that Cui Ning did not need to enter Jingzhou, but went directly south along the Malian River, entered the Huangboyuan camp, and aimed at Changwu City.

"The general of Changwu City is Li Huaiguang's Suining Festival to stay in the back of Han Youzhu." Cui Ning was thoughtful.

Gao Yue said that after Li Huaiguang led the main force to the four states in Hezhong, the affairs of Suining's stay were handed over to Han Yougui and Zhang Xin, and now Li Huaiguang attacked Fengtian, which would inevitably instigate Han and Zhang Tong to rebel.

As long as Changwu City is recaptured, then the Gyeonggi chess game will be alive, and the rebel party in Chang'an City will not be able to hold out for long.

Cui Ning nodded and agreed.

Then he suddenly stretched out his right hand, which was missing a finger, touched his gray-white beard, pinched his chin again, and whispered to Gao Yue:

"Gao Lang, I heard that Lu Qi was demoted to Fengzhou Sima, and Zhu Zhu also raised the flag of rebellion in the capital—what are the secret letters that Lu Qi and Zhu Zhu exchanged with our Weng and son-in-law before?"

In the flickering candle flame, Gao Yue's expression was serious, and he was also thinking about this question during this time.

At the beginning, everyone said that they wanted to be loyal ministers of the Tang Dynasty, but Lu Qi and Zhu Zhu became traitors and rebels inexplicably, so it is not impossible for them to bite back and try to drag me and my father-in-law into the water together.

So Gao Yue said that Zhu Jun was already an ironclad traitor, and it was impossible for the emperor to accept what he said. It's Lu Qi...... Now I don't dare to go to Fengzhou alone, so I stay in Baili City.

"Is that going to be?" Cui Ning made a gesture.

Gao Yue shook his head, "This is not good, the emperor let Lu Qi follow my battalion, just to protect him, after all, he was the prime minister, if he died at this time, I am equivalent to Sima Zhao's heart, and Lu Qi is such a shrewd and cunning person, he will not leave his hands." ”

Then Gao Yue thought about it, and said to his father-in-law: "The little son-in-law thinks that the best way to shut up Lu Qi now is to make him realize that he can still live well, and even have a chance to make a comeback, so that dogs that can bite people will not bark." ”

"That's right, then I have to continue to be Lu Qi's benefactor." Cui Ning asked Gao Yue again about Xichuan.

Gao Yue replied that it might be brewing, just waiting for the right time.

Looking at his son-in-law, Cui Ning was straightforward, "Gao Lang, you tell me, this time Fengtian escorted you to make great achievements, after the success of Jingnan, Your Majesty's reward is absolutely rich, you are now the head of the military department, Shi Langzhong, after the success, you will either be known as a scholar in the middle of the book, or as an observer, if you go out of the town, then do you want to go to Xichuan?" ”

Gao Yue thought about it, but still shook his head, and said I still want to be in the northwest, so that I can directly recover Helong.

"Silly, many military towns in the northwest have to rely on the imperial court to support them, but Xichuan is different, with hundreds of thousands of household registrations, as the so-called 'Yang Yi Yi Two', Tianfu land and sea, extremely rich, you intercept the taxes of Shu Capital City is enough for you to raise 350,000 elite soldiers. I know you have great ambitions, but how can great ambitions be inseparable from the support of money? ”

Hearing his father-in-law's "agitation", Gao Yue was silent, but his heart obviously fluctuated.

Indeed, when it comes to conditions, Xichuan is much stronger than Jingyuan.

Moreover, since Xichuan can also send troops to attack the land of Helong, the key is to see how I operate.

Cui Ning said a more radical and bold idea: "Gao Lang, as long as you live in Yizhou Tianfu, you have strong soldiers and strong generals, and you can break the West and Tibet." In the future, it is not impossible for the entire Jiannan Province, no, the entire Sanchuan to return to your festival town......"

Gao Yue's eyebrows moved when he said this.

Sanchuan, that is, Jiannan Xichuan, Jiannan Dongchuan, and Shannan Xidao, really, as long as these three towns are combined, my Gaoyue is absolutely capable of collecting Qianghu, breaking Xifan, and Zhennanzhao.

But in this case, the power is too inflated, and the posture of being as comfortable as before will no longer exist.

"Gao Lang, now I also treat you as my own son, I am old, I am afraid that the ideals of my youth will not be realized by myself in this life, and my sons will not succeed, Ah Ni did not choose the wrong person, Cui's family business will sooner or later merge with your Gao family in order not to fall. This three-in-one is just an idea, and it takes step by step to realize it, let's not be anxious, first work hard to save the king. Cui Ning said and spoke, obviously moved by true feelings, and his eyes were red.

The next day, Cui Ning's army no longer entered the border of Jingzhou, but turned to Pengyuan on the border of Ningzhou, and then began to move towards Changwu City along the winding and steep riverbank valleys on both sides of the Malian River.

But before parting, Cui Ning handed over the 4,000 party soldiers recruited from Nanshan and Liufu to Gao Yue and sent them to Jingzhou City, which was a generous gift from him to Duan Xiushi.
