Wang Shichong sighed: "Hongdae, you have no basis for what you say now, and I can't believe you so lightly, so let's do it, you can invite all the people who have agreed with you to do things together to invite me to my garden, I have to meet people before I can make up my mind." ”

Pei Shiju clapped his hands violently: "Okay, it's full, according to what you said, I'll bring General He Ruo and them over tomorrow, and you'd better hurry up and prepare early." ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "I know, you go, see you tomorrow." Pei Shiju turned around and went downstairs excitedly, and Wang Shichong looked at his departing back, thoughtful.

Wang Shichong sat back in his recliner, thinking carefully about Pei Shiju's words just now, judging from his many years of interaction with Pei Shiju, Pei Shiju is not the kind of two-pole young man who is impulsive and enthusiastic, and he has always been a two-pole young man who has always made up his mind, rarely has a hot head, and he has never lied in front of himself, since he said that he has been connected to a large number of families in the city, it is true, no matter how many people he can bring tomorrow, he must prepare early.

If you follow Pei Shiju to get into trouble, it means that you must be the enemy of Yang Su, and the biggest game of chess you have made over the years may be lost, and Pei Shiju and others can also clearly recognize their own strength, and they are not impulsive enough to have a showdown with Yang Guang here in Daxing, but take Yang Yong to flee and defect to Yang Liang, maybe this is the best choice for him, and when the time comes, he can follow Yang Su and send troops to Kanto in the name of crusading against the rebels, as long as he has an army under his command, When the time comes, find an opportunity to break away from Yang Su's control and find a way to occupy the Central Plains or Jianghuai. Then take the opportunity to let Xu Gai. Dou Jiande and others got into trouble. If you make a mess of the world, that might be the best choice for you.

Thinking of this, Wang Shichong slowly opened his eyes and made up his mind: he would follow Pei Shiju to gamble on this, and not inform Yang Su and Yang Xuangan about this matter for the time being, until Yang Jian died, and then temporarily fight for them.

At this moment, Zhang Jincheng's voice sounded downstairs: "Lord." There is a wealthy chief from Lingnan, who said that he was your old acquaintance, and he had something important to meet. ”

Wang Shichong's heart moved, and he hurriedly said: "This person is surnamed Feng? ”

Zhang Jin said: "Exactly, this person said that his surname is Feng Ming'an, it is your old age, and there is something important to meet." ”

Wang Shichong hurriedly said: "Hurry up, please, let him go to the underground C-shaped secret room to meet." By the way, please ask Mr. Wei to come to the secret room as well. ”

Half an hour later, in the secret room downstairs of Siyu. Wang Shichong sat in the big chair, his brows furrowed. looked at Feng An, who was standing opposite, and said suspiciously: "Brother Feng, I heard you right, Yue Guogong took the initiative to find you?" ”

Feng Ang nodded: "That's right, so before I meet him, I want to ask you, my old friend." ”

Wang Shichong's eyes flashed: "I am so happy, I am afraid that this conversation will decide the fate of your Feng family, the Xian family, and the entire Lingnan." ”

On the night of the second day, in the underground secret room in the Yue Guo Mansion, the firelight was swaying, Yang Su was full of smiles, dressed in purple civilian clothes, gold silk hair, hosta buns, and people were also in a lot of spirit, and standing on the carpet in front of him was a man of short stature, less than six feet.

From the back, this person is wearing a big red cloak, a big hat with a hoop on it, a pheasant tail inserted on it, the exposed earlobes are not small, and he is wearing big golden earrings, which shine in the light of the fire in this secret room.

I saw that he was about thirty years old, dark and thin, and his appearance was not very much like a native of the Central Plains, but a little like the Nanyang Kunlun Nu who was performing in the Daxing Bazaar, his eyes were slightly squinted, his two eyebrows were black and thick, his lips were two hooked whiskers, and the angular lines on his face were very obvious.

This person wore a silk green robe, and the rhino leather belt was colorfully embellished with all kinds of dazzling gemstones. After seeing Yang Xuangan running in from outside, he smiled, pressed his hand to his chest, and bowed: "Hanyin guards Feng Ang too much, and I have seen General Yang." ”

Yang Xuangan realized that this person was Feng An, and when he saw that Yang Su was safe, the heart in his heart finally let go, and he smiled and bowed back: "Feng Tingshi, look up for a long time." ”

Yang Xuangan suddenly realized that Feng Ang should be the Luozhou Thorn Shi now, but when he heard him introduce himself just now, it was Hanyin Taishou, and he was surprised: "Feng Thorn Shi is not in Luozhou High School now?" ”

Feng Ang smiled, and the tone of his voice was a little strange, not the same as the accent of the Central Plains: "After quelling the rebellion in Fanzhou last time, the emperor not only gave me the position of a doctor of Jin Ziguanglu, but also transferred me to Hanyin (now Lixian County, Gansu, in the southwest of Tianshui) as a taishou. ”

Yang Xuangan laughed, it was hard for him to imagine how this person who looked like a monkey had spent the past few years in Longyou, who was strong in the people's style, but he said, "Congratulations to Brother Feng." ”

Yang Su had a smile on his face and said, "Xuan Gan, do you know why your father brought Feng Taishou here?" ”

Yang Xuangan shook his head.

Yang Su's face suddenly became stern: "Because the Feng family has been friends with me Yang Su for more than ten years, and Mrs. Xian has always been secretly friendly with us." ”

Yang Xuan didn't expect that his father had always been in contact with this Lingnan wealthy family, and he was slightly stunned.

Feng Ang nodded, his eyes suddenly widened, and said: "When the Great Sui destroyed Chen, the Duke of Yue was the head of the march of one of the three major armies, and many of the generals of the Xiangyang Gong Wei Xun who later marched into Lingnan were all subordinates of the Duke of Yue. ”

"Yue Guogong is well aware of the influence of our Feng family and grandmother Mrs. Xian Tai in Lingnan, so he secretly ordered Wei Gong not to march, so as not to be difficult to clean up when the sword and soldiers meet, and sent someone to obtain from the palace of the Chen Dynasty that my grandmother gave to Emperor Chen Wu the Funan rhino staff, this staff was personally presented to Emperor Chen Wu by my father, representing the loyalty of our Lingnan Feng family and the Xian family to the Chen Dynasty, and the significance is extraordinary."

In addition to this staff, Yue Guogong also asked Empress Chen to write a letter of surrender and sent a messenger to his grandmother together with the Funan rhino staff, and his grandmother understood Yue Guogong's intentions. It is to give her a step of decent allegiance. At this time, giving up resistance was not considered disloyalty to the Chen Dynasty. It not only saved the honor of the grandmother, but also avoided bloodshed. So my grandmother turned to surrender to the army led by Wei Gong. ”

"General Yang, if it weren't for the Duke of Yue, I am afraid that it would be difficult for our Feng family to be preserved, in this matter, the Duke of Yue Guogong was very kind to our Xian family and the Feng family, my grandmother told us many times when she was alive, we must never forget. I, Feng An, will always keep it in my heart. ”

Yang Xuangan nodded: "I see." No wonder last time someone rebelled there, the first person you came to was my father. ”

Feng Ang smiled: "It should be both public and private." Yu Gong's words are to shoot at the left servant. The emperor is not in Daxing, so naturally he should report to him first; Not to mention private words, my grandmother would send someone to greet Yue Guogong every year, and also told us juniors that we must meet Yue Guogong first when we come to Daxing. ”

Yang Su's voice sounded slowly: "Let's talk about the old things later, now the time is pressing, the old man originally wanted to go to Hanyin to discuss with the virtuous nephew, but he didn't expect the virtuous nephew to take the initiative to come to the door." This also saves the old man's affairs, let's sit down and make it clear. ”

Feng Ang smiled slightly: "What advice does the Duke of Yue Guo have, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Yang Su nodded: "What does the virtuous nephew think about the general trend of the world now?" ”

Feng An's face changed slightly. said: "As seen by the younger generation, although the four seas are flat on the surface. But secretly there is a danger of chaos. The younger generation has no words, and I ask for the Yue Guogong's forgiveness. ”

Yang Su waved his hand: "See you in this secret room today, you can get into my ears, don't have any worries, if you have anything to say, it doesn't matter, if it's just some scenes, don't use it in this secret room to discuss." ”

Feng Ang smiled and continued: "From the perspective of the younger generation, the emperor is old, and the crown prince is ambitious, and wants to do something to prove that he surpasses his father. ”

Yang Su gently stroked his snow-white long hair, and his eyes narrowed slightly: "Go on." ”

Feng An's expression became a little stern: "Although the younger generation is a wilderness, he has also read the book of the sage since he was a child, and he also knows the way of civil and martial arts. ”

Yang Xuangan interjected: "Is there such a strict zhòng? He didn't believe that a barbarian could be so clever as to know the potential crisis of the empire better than those of them who had a lot of inside knowledge.

Feng Ang sighed: "General Yang doesn't know something, he has experienced too many betrayals and rebellions outside of the wilderness. For the Central Plains, Fanzhou is thousands of miles away, as long as the Central Plains is a little troubled, there will be restless careerists who try to stand on their own, so our Feng family and my grandmother's Xian family have always been particularly sensitive to this kind of thing. ”

"General Yang may have heard of the Fanzhou assassin Zhao Ne reported by his grandmother three years ago, and he is a typical example of official coercion and civil rebellion."

"After this Lord Zhao arrived, he didn't want to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country and benefit the people, but he thought that the emperor was far away, and no one dared to break ground on his Tai Sui."

"He sent troops to the caves of the slang people in the mountains to capture the people, and the women were used as slaves and maids, and the men were forced by him to build palaces, and he plundered the gold, silver, treasure, rice, flour, and food in these caves."

"Originally, my grandmother, Mrs. Qian Guo, didn't want to embarrass a big state governor sent by the imperial court, but this person did too much, making Fanzhou angry and resentful, and some caves have begun to take up arms to defend themselves."

"If it weren't for my grandmother reporting the emperor's crime in time, I'm afraid that if it is delayed for another year and a half, someone in Lingnan Prefecture will take the opportunity to cause trouble."

"It can be seen that even if the governor of Fanzhou in the south of the world acts perversely and acts arbitrarily, even in a place like Fanzhou, there will be people who will rise up to resist, if he is the son of heaven who rules the world, he also abuses the people's power like this, I am afraid that things will become out of control."

Yang Su opened his eyes, a cold lightning flashed, he nodded, and said, "Virtuous nephew, after a long conversation last time, you have really made a lot of progress, and you can consider the problem from the overall situation." ”

Feng Ancheng saluted with trepidation: "The younger generation lives in a corner of the southern country, and their knowledge is limited. Some of the words just now were made by feelings. Something wrong. Please advise. ”

Yang Su said with a smile: "You said it very well, then Zhao Ne is still in charge of the emperor, if the future emperor has no one to take care of, but he does something like Zhao Ne, how are you going to deal with yourself then?" ”

Feng An's expression became stern, he looked at Yang Su and Yang Xuangan, and saw that the two of them were also looking at him with a straight face, and their eyes were full of eager desire. There was also a sense of sincerity and expectation, and he suddenly understood that these two were waiting for his answer.

So Feng Ang closed his eyes, and began to fight fiercely in his heart, this question has been entangled in his heart for the past two years, he wants to find someone to talk to but he doesn't dare, today finally has a good opportunity, so that he can fully explain the thoughts in his heart, he doesn't want to wait any longer.

Feng Ang opened his eyes, looked at Yang Su calmly, and said word by word: "If it really comes to the time of chaos in the world." I had no choice but to keep the border safe and the people safe. ”

Yang Su let out a soft "oh". No more talking.

Yang Xuangan followed up and asked, "What does it mean to protect the territory and the people?" Is it like Zhao Tuo at the end of the Qin Dynasty, who seized the South China Sea and established himself as the king? ”

This Zhao Tuo is a legendary figure at the end of Qin, at the age of nineteen, he became a sword-armed guard by Qin Shi Huang's side, and accompanied Qin Shi Huang on patrol.

After Qin Shi Huang destroyed the Six Kingdoms, he did not want to stop the pace of the Quartet, so he sent the general Tu Sui to lead an army of 500,000 into Lingnan to fight with the Baiyue tribe here.

Qin Shi Huang was furious when he heard the news, and then sent reinforcements, with Ren Huan as the commander, Zhao Tuo as the deputy general, after four years of hard fighting, finally pacified Lingnan, the territory of the Qin State reached the sea in the south, and set up three counties of Nanhai County, Guilin County and Xiang County in this vast area, which was probably the area of Fanzhou plus Jiaozhou (today's Liangguang plus northern Vietnam) in the Sui Dynasty, and Zhao Tuo and Ren Huan stayed in Lingnan together, and served as the commander of Longchuan County.

At the end of Qin, the world was in turmoil, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rose up, when he was the lieutenant of Nanhai County, he was already seriously ill in bed, and the dying Ren Huan found Zhao Tuo and ordered him to cut off the passage from the Central Plains of Lingbei, prevent the army of the Central Plains from entering Lingnan, and gave Zhao Tuo the seal of the lieutenant of Nanhai County.

So Zhao Tuo took the opportunity to annex Guilin County and Xiang County, killed the local officials of the Qin Dynasty, and sent troops to block the passage of the Central Plains into Lingnan, separating the territory and establishing itself.

In the following sixty or seventy years, Zhao Tuo proclaimed himself the martial king of Nanyue and became the de facto emperor of Lingnan, while the three imperial courts of the early Han Dynasty, from Gaozu to Empress Lü to Emperor Wen, had not had a very good way to deal with Nanyue, and several expeditions were also in vain.

Zhao Tuo also sometimes surrendered and sometimes became independent, and from time to time took advantage of the instability of the Central Plains to send troops to attack the Hunan area and plunder, which was a headache for the Han Dynasty.

After the death of Zhao Tuo, there were four generations of kings in Nanyue, and when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the last king Zhao Xing and his biological mother Empress Dowager wanted to belong to the Han Dynasty, but they were killed by Lu Jia, the indigenous prime minister of Nanyue, who launched a coup d'état.

Lü Jia made Zhao Jiande, a member of the Zhao clan, king, and himself the actual ruler of the puppet, and not only that, but he also eliminated a 2,000-strong guard escorting Han envoys into South Vietnam with a sneak attack.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was furious when he heard the news, and in order to have a stable rear before the all-out war with the Xiongnu, he sent the generals Lu Bode and Yang Fu to lead an army of 100,000 prisoners and convicts to eliminate it in one fell swoop, and set up nine counties in his hometown.

The story of Zhao Tuo's alleged king is well known in Nanyue Guolu, and as soon as Yang Xuangan said this, Feng An's face immediately changed slightly, and then he shook his head: "General Yang misunderstood, you have to know what my grandmother has been doing all her life." ”

"With the power of our Feng family and Xian family in Lingnan, if we want to be self-reliant, there have been many opportunities before, the Chen Dynasty was an opportunity when the Liang Dynasty was in power, and the Great Sui Dynasty destroyed Chen was also an opportunity, even when Wang Zhongxuan rebelled, we can completely unite with Wang Zhongxuan to cut off Lingnan."

"But my grandmother has been teaching us since I was a child during the New Year's holidays that we must not break away from the Central Plains court, otherwise what can we do even if we can be separated for a while?"

"It's like Zhao Tuo you said, the four generations of kings of his family, it took a hundred years before and after, and the result was not the end of the destruction of the country and the annihilation! Lingnan is vast and sparsely populated, and does not have the strength and capital to compete with the Central Plains. ”

After Feng Ang finished saying this, he turned to Yang Su, and his tone became slightly excited: "Yue Guogong, what I said today is from the bottom of my heart, if the world is in chaos, I will return to Lingnan to defend my homeland, and I will temporarily prevent the army of the Central Plains from entering Lingnan, but if the world is settled and the Quartet is peaceful, I will not learn from Zhao Tuo to establish himself as the king, but will be loyal to the new Central Plains court." “

Yang Su smiled and nodded: "If it is my Yang family's people who raise troops, will you see the friendship between our two families and send troops to help?" ”

Feng An's eyes flashed with light, his expression was as resolute as iron, and he said without thinking: "No! ”

Yang Xuangan was taken aback, his expression changed slightly and then returned to normal, he didn't expect Feng Ang to directly reject Yang Su's hint so simply and clearly, so he couldn't help but set his eyes on Yang Su.

Yang Su's expression was very calm, he raised his hand, and said, "Why?" (To be continued......)
