Since the beginning of spring, the Mengjin Ferry, which was originally a little quiet, suddenly became lively.

Cargo ships left Guanzhong along the east of Weishui, sailed into the river, and finally docked at the ferry terminal.

Every day, all kinds of cargo ships are densely packed with the surface of the river.

In order to earn a living, poor people came to the wharf to help unload their goods.

On this day, unlike in the past, a thousand-material warship sailed from the east along the great river.

The river was undulating, and the ships were not fast because they were going against the current.

The ship was full of Jin army flags, and the first side was embroidered with the character Dou Da Liu.

At the bow of the ship stood a majestic man, a tall man with dark skin and piercing eyes.

The person who came was not someone else, it was Liu Yu, the general of Xuzhou Mu and Che Cavalry who came from Pengcheng, who came to visit Wei Shuo.

Liu Yu had two purposes for this trip, in addition to revealing the family's conspiracy to Wei Shuo, but also to discuss the Northern Expedition with King Yong.

Especially in the Northern Expedition to Southern Yan, Liu Yu did not dare to pin his hopes of victory on Huan Xuan.

How capable Huan Xuan is, can he not know?

In the future, if you go to the battlefield, once Huan Xuan commands indiscriminately, the future of the Northern Expedition may be worrying.

But he is only a striker general, and he has to be controlled by Huan Xuan, and he can't influence Huan Xuan's opinion at critical moments.

The Yongwang is different, although he is also nominally controlled by Huan Xuan, but in fact he has greater independence.

He came to Luoyang to meet King Yong this time, hoping that Wei Shuo would be able to balance Huan Xuan in the future.

When he arrived at Mengjindu, Liu Yu saw that the wharf was full of boats, densely packed, and there were as many as 100 ships.

In addition to all kinds of cargo ships, there are still more than a dozen warships patrolling and guarding the river.

Liu Yu knew that the Hexi Water Division was powerful, and he was not surprised by this, but he was secretly vigilant in his heart.

Suddenly, a warship approached and stopped in front of Liu Yu's boat, and there were people on it who shouted and asked.

"Who's coming?"

"This is General Mu Liu of Xuzhou on a boat, specially coming from Xuzhou to visit His Royal Highness King Yong."

The two sides talked, and saw that the opposite warship put down another sentry boat, carrying a young lieutenant on Liu Yu's boat.

The young lieutenant inspected the documents before making a big salute to pay homage to Liu Yu.

After everything was settled, he turned around and gave an order, ordering the sailor to guide Liu Yu into the port by boat.

……

When Liu Yu was slowly sailing into the dock on the boat, Wei Shuo was taking several officials to inspect the construction of Luoyang University Hall.

When he came to the construction site of the school, Wei Shuo looked around, and always felt that the surrounding environment was a little familiar.

He asked Cui Hao puzzled: "Bo Yuan, isn't this the White Horse Temple?" ”

It turned out that Wei Shuo didn't know that the White Horse Temple had already been demolished by Cui Hao's order.

It's not that Cui Hao deliberately concealed it, but he didn't take this matter seriously at all.

But now that Wei Shuo asked, Cui Hao was quite embarrassed, and he hurriedly bowed down to explain.

"Your Highness is right, this is indeed the White Horse Temple."

"However, in view of the fact that the White Horse Temple is the source of the civil unrest, the minister has ordered its demolition."

"It happened that His Royal Highness asked the minister to be responsible for building the school, and the minister assigned the White Horse Temple and the surrounding 500 acres of land to Luoyang University Hall."

"You...... You demolished the White Horse Temple, is it rare that you are not afraid of provoking even greater riots? Wei Shuo asked with wide eyes.

"Hey, hey! The ministers are relatively fast, and when those believers react, the wood is already in the boat, so what can they do? ”

Wei Shuo knew that this matter was not so simple, but he didn't plan to pursue it anymore, but it was a pity for the White Horse Temple.

In later generations, the White Horse Temple is a very important tourist attraction, and he has been there to play, but he didn't expect it to be demolished today.

Shaking his head and throwing out the complicated thoughts in his mind, Wei Shuo said casually: "Bo Yuan, I don't know when the school will be completed?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, it will be completed by the end of the month."

"Plenty of money and materials?"

"Your Highness, rest assured, everything has been arranged."

"The minister copied a lot of money from the family, which is enough to ensure the construction of the school."

"As for the required building materials, except for cement, which needs to be transported from Guanzhong and Hedong, the rest of the materials can be taken locally."

"Especially after the White Horse Temple was demolished, the materials were ready-made, and they could be built directly."

"In fact, these materials were originally intended to be used to repair the Luoyang Palace, but the time was not ripe, so they had to be used to repair the academy first."

Wei Shuo bowed his head slightly and didn't say anything.

Of course, he also wants to repair Luoyang, but as Cui Hao said, the time is not ripe at the moment.

However, although he could not make a big move against the Luoyang Palace, he had ordered Cui Hao and others to start the layout of Luoyang City Construction.

At present, the government has begun to expand Luoyang's city walls, streets, as well as private houses and schools.

It is equivalent to saying that in addition to the opening and repair of the imperial palace, Hexi has already been expanding Luoyang City on a large scale.

Then Wei Shuo walked around the place again, and was about to get up and go back to the palace, but saw the guard Kanglong hurriedly come to report.

"His Royal Highness, Xuzhou Mu Liu Yu is visiting."

"Oh? Liu Yu is here? Where? ”

"Right now, it has arrived at the Mengjin ferry port and is heading towards Luoyang."

Knowing that Liu Yu was visiting, Wei Shuo was obviously stunned, obviously he didn't expect Liu Yu to visit so soon.

Suddenly, he had some realization in his heart, maybe the relationship between Liu Yu and the family was not so simple.

……

Outside the north gate of Luoyang, hundreds of guards surrounded Wei Shuo, waiting for Liu Yu to arrive.

After a while, the north was dusty, and I saw Liu Yu wearing armor and coming from afar.

In the distance, he saw King Yong coming out of the city to greet him, hurriedly turned over and dismounted, stepped forward quickly, and knelt down on one knee.

"The last general, Liu Yu, see His Royal Highness."

"Hahaha, general, please get up!"

Wei Shuo hurriedly helped Liu Yu up, looked up and down, and said, "Brother Dezhi, don't come to harm?" ”

"Your Highness Xie is worried, and the last general has always been fine."

Then Wei Yongzhi, Ding Yi and others stepped forward one after another and greeted Wei Shuo one by one.

After everyone greeted each other, Liu Yu and Wei Shuo walked side by side, and the rest of the people followed closely and walked towards the city together.

When they arrived at the Taiji Hall, everyone sat down.

"Your Highness, the last general came here this time to discuss the Northern Expedition with Hexi."

"Oh? I don't know what Brother Dezhi has to say? ”

"Don't dare! However, the last general has a few humble opinions in his abdomen, and he would like to ask His Highness for some advice. ”

"Hahaha, Brother Dezhi is polite!"

"You are a famous general in the world, and you have your own strategy in your chest, so you might as well speak up and listen to yourself."

For the first emperor of the Southern Dynasty in history, Wei Shuo has never underestimated him.

Among the founding emperors of the past dynasties, his military strategy was definitely at the forefront.

Liu Yu got up and pointed to the north and said: "In this imperial court's northern expedition, Nanyan is not worried, but the northern Tuoba Wei is worried!" ”

"Wei Yan's lips are cold and his teeth are cold, and Tuoba is also a hero, he will definitely not sit idly by and watch Nanyan perish."

"And those who currently have the strength to contain the Wei army, who is His Highness?!"

"The last general has no other requirements, but I hope that His Highness will do his best to contain the Wei army so that it cannot fully support Murong De."

"In this way, the general will be sure to help the Taiwei destroy Nanyan in one battle."

"Well, Brother Dezhi's words are very reasonable, the Wei army is indeed the enemy of the Yan Dynasty!"

"Please rest assured, Brother Dezhi, the Wei State will be handed over to Hexi to be responsible, and you can only rest assured that you will conquer Nanyan."

"Good! With His Royal Highness's words, the last general can rest assured. ”

"Hahaha, Brother Dezhi doesn't need to worry."

"This time, the elite of the Great Jin Dynasty has been exhausted, and with the strength of Taiwei, you, and me, why should a little Murong De be concerned?"

"If not, where are you and me?!"

Liu Yu bowed slightly, as King Yong said, the three parties work together, not to mention Murong De, even if Murong Chui comes, he will give it for nothing.

At this time, Liu Yu thought of the dense boats on the big river, and suddenly his heart moved.

He groaned slightly: "Your Highness, when the last general passed by the Mengjin ferry, he saw that the big river was full of boats, and I heard that it was from Guanzhong to transport supplies?" ”

"That's right."

"The Central Plains is tired and short of materials, and in order to support the construction of the Central Plains, Lone has to order the mobilization of materials from Guanzhong."

"I see."

"It just so happens that the general will get a plan occasionally, or it may cut off the connection between Wei Yan."

"I want to hear about it."

"The Wei army is strong in the iron cavalry is sharp, if the water division is sent to patrol along the big river in wartime, so no matter how strong the Wei army's iron cavalry is, I am afraid that it will not be able to cross the big river."

"Even further, you can deliberately let the Wei army cross the river to the south, and then use the sailors to cut off its retreat and annihilate it on the south bank of the river."

"Well, the general's plan is very good, and I think I can give it a try."

"However, how to arrange the specific battle will have to wait for Nanjun Gong to go north to meet the alliance before it can be decided."

Liu Yu understood the deep meaning of Wei Shuo's words, after all, this time the Northern Expedition was mainly based on Huan Xuan, and it was impossible to leave Huan Xuan alone to destroy Yan.

It's not that the two of them don't have the strength, but that Huan Xuan needs to make a great contribution to destroying the country politically.

In this regard, whether it is him Liu Yu or Wei Shuo, they all know this.

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Liu Yu took out a secret report from his arms and presented it to Wei Shuo with both hands.

"What is this?"

"The family wants to collude with the last general to fight against His Highness, and the last general will not dare to hide it, so he has come to state the details to His Highness."

"What?!"
