Wang Huaqiang sneered in his heart, but he made a sad look on his face: "Isn't it, he has been bedridden since March, and several of our brothers have taken turns to serve his old man for a while."

Today I heard that the general is coming, and he said that he would get out of bed to see you, and when I came, the eldest brother and the third brother were helping him change his clothes. ”

Wang Shiji hurriedly said: "Oh, why didn't you say it earlier, if you knew that my uncle was sick like this, I would have to go to ask for peace first." Brother Hua Qiangxian, please lead the way, I'll go to visit my uncle. ”

Wang Huaqiang sneered and said, "General Wang, business is important, how can my father's little illness affect your important matter of selecting materials for the country?" I think it's better for our brother to go with you first. ”

Wang Shiji's black face was slightly red, and in an instant, he returned to normal, and he waved his hand: "I rule the world with filial piety, no matter how big the official business is, as a junior, I should visit first."

We are relatives of the same clan within the five suits, my uncle is seriously ill, if I don't meet me as a nephew first, then everyone in the world will scold me Wang Shiji for not understanding etiquette, and the imperial historians of the court and the central government will also participate in my unfilial piety. Brother Huaqiang, let's lead the way first. ”

Wang Huaqiang smiled slightly, turned sideways, and made a gesture towards the door to invite you in: "Cousin, please come in!"

Wang Shiji strode forward and entered the gate of the palace, the guard followed him closely, not leaving an inch, Wang Huaqiang led the way, and several servants hugged Wang Shiji, all the way inward.

The remaining servants of the Wang family took advantage of the situation to come out and disperse the idlers who were watching the excitement, and by the way, they led the horses ridden by Wang Shiji and the others to the stable to take pictures.

Wang Huaqiang led Wang Shiji all the way to the living room, only to see that Wang He was already wearing a blue robe made of silk material, sitting on the elm chair of the main seat and waiting for everyone, while Wang Huashi and Wang Huawei stood in front of the door to greet the guests.

As soon as Wang Shiji saw Wang He, he immediately stepped forward to salute, pressed his fist to his chest, bowed slightly, and said loudly: "Nephew Wang Shiji, I have seen my uncle, I wish my uncle is in good health, and my nephew is in military uniform, so I can't bow down, please forgive me." ”

Wang He's forehead was still wrapped with a black sick belt, he nodded effortlessly, and raised his hand slightly: "Virtuous nephew doesn't have to be polite, please sit down." ”

Wang Shiji was not polite, and sat directly on the main and guest seats on the left, and the strong man's entourage stood behind him.

At this time, he held his head high, and Wang Huaqiang saw his appearance clearly, only to see that this person had a red face and a thick beard, eyes like copper bells, several scars of different shades on his face, and a face of arrogance and fierceness.

Wang Huaqiang's three brothers all sat opposite Wang Shiji, and five or six rings were like butterflies wearing flowers, and they presented fruit bowls and tea soup to the guests and hosts.

Wang He coughed lightly and said to Wang Shiji: "Virtuous nephew, today we will talk about business first, and then talk about family friendship, do you think this is good?" ”

Wang Shiji smiled slightly, put down the tea bowl he had just taken a sip in his hand, and arched his hand: "One qiē but according to my uncle's orders." ”

Wang He nodded, and glanced at Wang Huaqiang on the side, Wang Huaqiang understood, got up and said to the servants standing behind everyone in the hall, "You all go down first." ”

After the idle people in the hall had left, Wang He Zhengse said to Wang Shiji: "Virtuous nephew, last time in the letter, you mentioned that the emperor intends to conquer the Chen Dynasty in the south and unify the sea, is this news true?" ”

Wang Shiji's expression also became stern: "It should be true, recently, General He Ruobihe, the governor of Wuzhou, and General Yang Suyang, the governor of Xinzhou, have both presented peaceful and good policies to the emperor.

Even the leader of the literary world, Xue Daoheng, the waiter of the internal history, also wrote that the destruction of Chen was at this time. Now that the emperor has made up his mind, the troops and horses in various places have begun to be mobilized, and I have also received an order to leave for the south in three days. ”

Neither Wang Huashi nor Wang Huawei, who were present, had heard of the Southern Expedition, and when they heard about it at first glance, they looked at each other, only Wang Huaqiang and Wang He still looked at Wang Shiji with a calm expression.

Wang Shiji also noticed the change in the expressions of the sons of the Wang family, smiled slightly, picked up the tea bowl, took a sip, and said to Wang Huaqiang: "It seems that Huaqiang's cousin has heard the news." ”

The corners of Wang Huaqiang's mouth hooked, and there was a calmness in his words: "Hua Qiang also just learned about this, but this was expected, Hua Qiang didn't make a fuss at that time. ”

Wang Shiji's face sank, he became more and more unpredictable about this thin young man who was only eighteen or nineteen years old, put the tea bowl in his hand to the table at hand, and said: "Please also ask my cousin to be clear, even I was surprised when I heard this, how can you expect it?" ”

The corners of Wang Huaqiang's mouth moved slightly, and a confident smile appeared on his face: "There are no two heavens, there are no two masters in the country, with the wisdom and martial arts of the emperor today, how can he allow others to snore on the side of the couch?"

Counting from the Five Hu Chaohua, the chaotic era of the division between the north and the south has lasted for three hundred years, and since Xiao Liang, the Southern Dynasty has experienced the rebellion of Houjing, Xichuan and Jingzhou, as well as the Lianghuai region as a barrier to the south of the Yangtze River, have been lost, and only the southeast region is left to survive.

As for the Northern Dynasty, after the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Northern Qi Dynasty, unified the north, and now the emperor is wise and martial, standing on behalf of the Zhou as a relative of the prime minister, and building my Great Sui, and now there are two of the three parts of the world, forming the trend of the Jin Dynasty destroying the Eastern Wu and unifying the world.

Originally, in the third year of the emperor's reign, the emperor had already intended to march south, but when the northern Turks suddenly entered the army, the emperor had no choice but to transfer troops to the south to return to the division to defeat the Turks.

In the past few years, under the blows and divisions of the military and political forces of our DPRK, the Turks have been torn apart, and the eastern-Turkic Shabalu Khan, who dominates the desert, has been forced to submit to our Great Sui, and the threat from the north has ceased to exist for the time being.

In addition, last year, Chen Shubao, the lord of the Southern Chen State, publicly wrote a letter to provoke my Great Sui, saying that my emperor is not as good as him, and the so-called God makes people perish, and he must first make him crazy, this person is incompetent in governing the country, he will only be able to play in the wind and snow, and he is arrogant, how can he block the thunderous blow of my Great Sui Heavenly Army? ”

Wang Shiji's expression became more and more ugly, although he knew before he came that this Wang Huaqiang was the most knowledgeable of the sons of the Wang family, but he expected that a young man who was not weak could be strong?

I didn't expect this person's insight to be so profound, and even many of them were still above him, it seems that his plan to belittle the princes of the Wang family first, and then take the opportunity to raise the price is going to be changed.

But Wang Shiji was still not convinced, he heard Wang Huaqiang's last words, his heart moved, and he laughed instead: "Cousin Huaqiang, after all, you have never been on the battlefield, and you don't know the danger of fighting a soldier."

I won't talk about the battle of Guandu and Chibi, but I will only say that during the battle of Weishui, the former Qin Empire struck a thunderous blow to the Eastern Jin Dynasty with a million army, and everyone in the world thought that it was a sure victory, who would have thought that the former Qin million army was actually defeated by tens of thousands of Beifu soldiers in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Besides, more than 30 years ago, when the Southern Chen Dynasty Liang, the Northern Qi took the opportunity to escort the Xiao Liang clan across the river, and more than 100,000 soldiers were already under the city of Jiankang, but they were still completely defeated by Chen Baxian, who had less than 50,000 soldiers, and achieved his name as an emperor.

After all, the war horses in the north can't gallop in the muddy terrain of the south of the Yangtze River, so it's difficult for my northern army, which is dominated by cavalry and chariots, to be used in the south, you haven't paid attention to this. ”

Wang Huaqiang smiled and shook his head: "General Wang, the advantage of the Nanren lies in their boats and boats, and in the natural danger of the Yangtze River, and since Nanchen lost Jingzhou and Lianghuai, these two points no longer exist."

At that time, the Eastern Jin Dynasty was able to block the million-strong army of the former Qin, and Emperor Chen Baxian and Emperor Chen Wu could fight back and defeat the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Northern Qi Dynasty, not relying on the natural dangers of the Yangtze River and the muddy roads, but because the monarchs and ministers were single-minded and used their lives up and down.

Fu Jian of Weishui and Hu Qi of the Northern Qi Dynasty are all standard Hu people, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty from Prime Minister Xie An to the main general of the front line Xie Xuan, and then to every ordinary soldier, do not want to be the slaves of the Hu people, and they are absolutely traceable to China.

Chen Baxian had just defeated the Huns Hou Jing who were in trouble in the south of the Yangtze River, and he counterattacked the Hu army of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and also got the full support of the Han people in the south of the Yangtze River.

What now? Chen Shubao was drunk and dreamed of death, ignoring state affairs, and the traitorous party in Nanchen was rampant and controlled the court. Except for Zhou Luoyu and Xiao Maha, there are no good generals.

And my Great Sui since my emperor established on behalf of Zhou, is already a Han dynasty, no longer surnamed Fanbang Hu, just by virtue of this, the resistance of the southerners to my southern expedition will be much smaller, so victory or defeat is a clear thing, Hua Qiang is not talented, but dare to say, as long as the army can cross the Yangtze River, the army is under the city of Jiankang, and Nanchen will be destroyed!"
