Chapter 120 Closing the Jiangdu
Chen Ling can also be regarded as an old courtier of the Great Sui Dynasty, and he has experienced many battles on the battlefield in this life, and he is loyal to the Sui Dynasty.
Now that the Great Sui Dynasty has disappeared, it is inevitable that there will be some emotion in my heart.
In the face of Chen Ling's emotion, Pei Shiju was not without feelings in his heart, they were all old courtiers of the Great Sui Dynasty, and they had dedicated their entire lives to the Sui Dynasty.
"Yes, no one would have imagined that the shape would be so bad, and so fast.
If it weren't for Yu Wenhua and the killing of the emperor, there might still be hope for the imperial court to cross the Yangtze River. You must know that General Lu Da exterminated the rebels in the south of the Yangtze River, the purpose was to welcome the emperor across the river, but unfortunately now it has come to naught.
The world is full of heroes, and the Du Fuwei, Li Zitong, Li Mi of Wagang, and Dou Jiande of Hebei in front of him will not be able to become the climate, and it may be better for Li Tang to occupy Guanlong and have the support of the scholar clan.
However, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him Li Tang to do anything.
The Great Sui Dynasty has fallen, the country will always be unified, and someone will always come out to clean up the mess when the country is broken, and this hope can only be pinned on the general. β
Pei Shiju was very cunning, turning around and creating momentum for Lu Chang, further affecting Chen Ling's state of mind.
Chen Ling lowered his head and pondered, he understood Pei Shiju's words, probably Pei Shiju resolutely supported Lu Chang to fight for the world.
In this way, if Lu Chang succeeds in seizing the world, Pei Shiju and others will have the merit of following the dragon, so where should they go?
Everyone has selfish intentions, and Chen Ling also has selfish intentions, if he can gain a foothold in Jiangdu City, Chen Ling will not let go lightly.
The problem was that there were strong enemies on the east and west sides of Jiangdu City, and with Chen Ling's strength, he could even resist the attacks of either of them.
Then, the only way left is to take refuge in Lu Chang's Jiangnan side.
However, Chen Ling wanted to test it in the end.
"Master Pei, if Jiangdu City is attacked, can Jiangnan support it?"
Pei Shiju smiled dumbly, Chen Ling's idea was a little naΓ―ve. Pei Shiju's waist straightened up, and said with a smile: "General Chen, the Jiangnan Army was originally a member of the Xiaoguo Army, and everyone used to be ministers in the same hall, so the Jiangnan Army will not take the initiative to attack you."
However, if Gangnam wants to help you defend against other enemies, this is a bit of a stretch.
No matter how stupid Jiangnan is, he will never be stupid enough to cultivate a potentially powerful opponent for himself, right? β
After Pei Ju finished speaking, even Chen Ling himself smiled. I'm a little whimsical.
"Okay, I'm not hypocritical, Master Pei, Jiang Ducheng is willing to belong to the Jiangnan camp in the future, and I, Chen Ling, are also willing to join General Lu."
"Hehe, General Chen's move is a wise move. It's better to vote late than early, and there is really not much room for maneuver in the land of Jiangdu.
It is also a great achievement to invest in Jiangnan early, and in the future, you and I will be ministers in the same palace, why not do it? β
Pei Shiju's trip to Jiangdu effortlessly captured Chen Ling.
"By the way, I heard that Laihu'er's father and son have arrived in Jiangnan, and it seems that many ministers have also arrived in Jiangnan, is it true?"
Chen Ling has been back in Jiangdu for some time, and he has also known a lot about the general situation of the great changes in Jiangdu.
It turned out that many ministers in the court were killed by Yu Wenhua, but some people were spared, so Chen Ling asked.
Pei Shiju stroked his beard and smiled mysteriously, and said, "Well, the father and son of the Lai family and many ministers have already arrived in Jiangnan. Let's talk about it in private, hehe, the old man feels that the general is not an ordinary person!
It is only now that I have come back to my senses, and the construction that the general gave me at the beginning has a deep meaning, and it also gives me the opportunity to leave Jiangdu City to supervise Danyang Palace, otherwise I would not have survived today.
To be honest, old decay used to do something.
However, in recent years, the emperor has become more and more rigid and self-serving, and the old man chose Mingzhe to protect himself, and he is not a good courtier, and I don't know why the general saved the old man.
Just because the general saved the life of the old man this time, the old man really sold it to the general in the second half of his life, and he did his best as much as he could. β
Pei Shiju's words, Chen Ling hadn't come back to his senses, the expression on his face was a little dazed, and he felt that Pei Shiju's visit to Jiangnan to supervise the construction might have escaped a difficulty by coincidence.
"This, it seems......"
"Hehe, maybe you don't realize. After all, you weren't in Jiangdu at the beginning, but most of the ministers were in Jiangdu.
If you think about it again, a minister as loyal to the emperor as Laihu'er, if he stays in Jiangdu, he will definitely die.
Do you know how Laihu'er was saved?
It was on the night of Yu Wenhua's mutiny, and the general sneaked into Jiangdu alone to secretly inform the father and son of the coming family, and only then did he avoid the disaster.
Of course, there are a number of other ministers.
Some people believed it and absconded, while some people were still hesitating and reacting slower, and were finally killed by Yu Wenhua.
The old man noticed a problem, none of the ministers who escaped were treacherous. Hehe, except for old decay. β
Pei Shiju's words surprised Chen Ling, opened his mouth, and then said: "You mean that the general already knows that Yu Wenhua is going to launch a mutiny, and sneaks into Jiangdu City alone at night to rescue some ministers, how is this possible?" β
"Hehe, I don't know the specific details, but Yu Wenhua and disloyalty, the general seems to have noticed it a long time ago.
Of course, Jiang Du was about to mutiny, and the general only acted after receiving information from his subordinates.
At the beginning, Lao Yu and Lord Su Weisu tried their best to dissuade the general from sending troops to Jiangdu.
You must know that at that time, I only learned about Yu Culture from intelligence and wanted to mutiny, and nothing happened, who knows whether it is true or not?
Again, from Jiangnan to Jiangdu, it will be too late at all!
In case nothing happened under the arrival of the soldiers, how could the general explain to Emperor Yang Guang? This risk can't be taken at all, it's a great crime!
Therefore, the general listened to the advice of Lao Yu and Lord Su, and the Jiangnan army did not move. Who knew that the general hid from Lao Yu and Master Su, and went to Jiangdu alone. Afterwards, Lao Yu and Master Su were both sweating. β
Chen Ling, who was kept in the dark, understood the whole process thoroughly.
However, this Lu Chang is indeed amazingly courageous, and he actually sneaked into Jiangdu City alone to save people, and the risks are self-evident.
After an exchange between the two old courtiers of the Sui Dynasty, the whole process of the turbulent waves of Jiangdu City and the future development of the city have been understood.
Chen Ling suddenly remembered something, and felt that he should sue Pei Shiju.
"Master Pei, there is something I need to tell you. A few days before the Mutiny, the Baekje envoys happened to come to Gangdu.
Their purpose was to meet the emperor and ask the Sui Dynasty to help Baekje resist the invasion of Goguryeo and Silla.
It's hard for me to answer this question, so I haven't seen it ever since. What do you think of this? β
Pei Shiju was stunned, what is this? (To be continued.) )
