Chapter 230: To Each His Own Mind

Looking around, there is no place to stand. Hu Song and others were dazed and melancholy in their hearts, only to feel that the future was bleak and they didn't know where to go, but a huge sense of urgency was pressing on their hearts day by day, making people anxious and nowhere to remove.

"Brother Fanqing, I actually guessed seven or eight points about your intention. However, the situation is such that it cannot be reversed. Even the clan vassal king is so selfish and indifferent, even if God does not bless Jin, we will be loyal and righteous again, what is the use of being alone? ”

Pei Xuan didn't say anything anymore, and only looked at Hu Song meaningfully with his eyes. When Hu Song saw Pei Xu's appearance, he was sure that he must be going to reveal his true intentions, so he said: "Brother Fanqing, there are only you and me here, if you have anything in your heart, just say it, if you want to stop talking like this, do you still have any doubts about me?" ”

"Good! I will discuss big things with the public! ”

Pei Xu suddenly slapped the table, seemed to have made up his mind, and said with some excitement: "What the King of Nanyang has done in the past few years has not only disappointed us, but also chilled the hearts of all the people in the world. Since he has no leadership bearing, sooner or later we will have to find a way out and change the court. ”

Hu Song sighed and said, "I don't know what you said. The point is that Fang just said that there is nowhere to go for me today. Saying that, Hu Song also seemed to have made up his mind to open up his heart, he stretched out his body, and asked with a probing face: "I have been at home these days, and I am actually thinking about this problem. The king of Nanyang doesn't have to count on it anymore, it's really not good, go west to Liangzhou, right? ”

Pei Xu was slightly stunned at first: "Zhang Huan? Then he shook his head and said, "If his father Zhang Wugong is still there, it will be made." Now Zhang Yu has succeeded him, although he is also obedient to the imperial court, but he is far away, and I heard that he gradually has some independent thoughts, not as loyal and honest as Duke Wu, and I am not a native of Liangzhou, and the future situation is always very difficult. ”

"So where do I go from here?"

Pei Xu's face was mysterious, staring closely at Hu Song's eyes, and only after a while did he say word by word: "In my opinion, it is better to belong to Liangzhou, it is better to belong to Qinzhou." ”

"Attached to Qinzhou?"

Hu Song was confused, and blinked again and again: "We weren't in Qinzhou in the first place, which family did we belong to...... Yes! You wouldn't mean that! There was a sudden flash of lightning in his mind, and he immediately opened his mouth wide, his eyes widened, and he looked at Pei Xu in great surprise.

Pei Shu nodded solemnly, indicating that he was not joking.

"The King of Nanyang is now struggling to breathe, and it is not worth mentioning. It's not that we're not faithful to him, it's that this man isn't a good lord. You see, it's only been a few years, and Gao Yue was able to sweep through Qinzhou and soar into the sky, although he also has real skills, but Sima Bao's own ability is too mediocre. Since Gao Yue is so strong, and this person really supports the imperial court, then, in the future, will Gao Yue have more hope than Sima Bao? ”

"You and I were originally officials in Qinzhou. At present, Gao Yue has been personally named the assassin of Benzhou by His Majesty, and he is the governor of Benzhou, and he is the righteous official of you and me, and his military position is the general of Zhengxi, and he has been named the county duke! Since the founding of this dynasty, there have only been many county dukes, and I don't say that you know. So no matter what aspect it is, returning to Qinzhou is the best way out at present. ”

"My father was an important minister of the country back then, and he was only named a viscount, and in the end, he only pursued the title of the ancestor Yinmi Marquis. Now Gao Yue is already a county prince at a young age...... Hey, this man! I can't compare, I can't say. Hu Song had mixed feelings, sighed to himself, and suddenly exclaimed: "Brother Fanqing, tell me the truth, have you been bought by the Longxi Army?" ”

Pei Xu hurriedly said: "There is no such thing!" Because Brother Sasa is a close friend of the same kind, I mustered up the courage to tell my true thoughts, so that I could discuss with my subordinates face to face, and don't doubt me. ”

"Okay, I believe Brother Fanqing is." Hu Song breathed a sigh of relief, and hesitated a little: "Let's not talk about anything else, the key is...... Can he, the former ministers of Nanyang, treat us equally without suspicion? ”

"Sasa! I heard that Gao Yue is still a good person, and he is also very polite and kind to his subordinates, which is not better than the frivolous attitude of King Nanyang who usually treats everyone. But then again, this can't be a ticket, and I don't know what the future holds. But at present, there is no other way to do it for the time being. ”

Hu Song nodded slightly, but his face was still very complicated. What Pei Xuan said is not unreasonable, no matter what others do, take Gao Yue and Sima Bao as examples, no matter in terms of ability, character, loyalty, and even age, Gao Yue has an advantage. Instead of running around in fear like a lost dog, it is better to stay honestly and follow the new assassin Shi of the imperial court, which is really the best of both worlds.

But he can't do without his own selfish thoughts. Sima Bao's subordinates can't stay any longer, and he and Pei Xu share the same opinion. But Pei Xu can be generous to switch to Gao Yue, but it is difficult for him to Hu Song. At the beginning, he led his troops in Nan'an and confronted the main force of Longxi, which was a real hostile act. Serve Gao Yue now, how do you know that you will not be retaliated against in the future? Pei Xu is a civil official, and there is no obstruction, and he Hu Song, as a military general who can lead troops to fight, really has some scruples.

There was another layer of thought, and he was completely embarrassed to say it. He was born in a famous family and had a grand reputation, which is not comparable to ordinary families. Joining Sima Bao's command, Sima Bao is a royal bloodline after all, a great clan, and there is no problem in calling him a vassal. Hu Song hesitated to go to the Liangzhou Zhang family, more or less reasonable, in the past Zhang Liang governed the west of the imperial court, the shock of the party, and gradually became an important minister of the country, a critical domain, he himself was also a series of officials in the imperial court, and the emperor himself was posthumously called "Wu Gong", which can also be regarded as a very prestigious honor.

Although Liangzhou is now Zhang Liang's son Zhang Yu is in charge, the afterglow of the giant is still there, and he will not be considered to have condescended to Zhang's house for the time being, and even humiliated his father and ancestors. But Gao Yue is different, a few years ago, Gao Yue was just a lowest-level mountain people, although he was not as humble as a slave, but to be honest, that is, if there is turmoil today, these ordinary people have been given the opportunity to come out.

Although Gao Yue is now regarded as a national cadre, the new nobles are extremely favored by the emperor. But in the final analysis, his fundamental identity is still from a civilian background. Although after the Hu people rebelled, how many princes and nobles were killed, and the rest were also taken to the north as slaves and maids, trampled on wantonly, and the prestige of the family has long been gone, so that the phoenix that has lost its hair is not as good as a chicken. But Hu Song still firmly holds the idea that the tiger will not fall to the ground, if he stoops down to serve Gao Yue as the master, this is for a child of a self-proclaimed famous family like him, first of all, psychologically, it is extremely awkward, and he can't pass that hurdle.

If it was a normal situation, Hu Song would have refuted it a long time ago, and even disdained it. But now that the situation is stronger than people, what is the actual situation in Qinzhou, Hu Song's heart is clear, and he can't say hard words without strength. Besides, the key thing is that Gao Yue's actions can be seen by everyone in the world, and he does not live up to the name of loyalty, but he has risen step by step in a grand manner, which makes Hu Song beyond reproach.

Thinking about it, Hu Song supported his forehead with his hand, and said helplessly: "Brother Fanqing, my heart is really chaotic. The stakes are big, and if you are not careful, you will die and the clan will be wiped out. Allow me to think carefully and then reason. ”
