"Wang Anhe, you still made a choice after all." Ye Yingwu sat in the Canglang Pavilion and looked at the slender note in his hand, "It's just that you didn't expect that the prefect of Pingjiang Mansion would ignore you, how could you ignore it, how could you have fewer eyes and ears in the upper and lower six doors in your mansion." ”

Putting down the note casually, Ye Yingwu looked at the Canglang Pavilion in front of him, smiled faintly, stood up, the white paper had been laid on the table, and the ink on one side had also been polished.

And Li Si, who had been standing quietly opposite Ye Yingwu, looked at the two sentences written by Ye Yingwu with interest: "The breeze and the moon are priceless, and there is love near and far from the water, it is really a good connection!" ”

Rao is Ye Yingwu wanted to be thick-skinned, but he couldn't help but blush, after all, this is his own shameless plagiarism of the "Canglang Pavilion" made by his descendants, it is the Qing Dynasty Jiangsu Governor, the master of the couplet Liang Zhangju's master's masterpiece, and these two poems, the last sentence is from Ouyang Xiu's "Canglang Pavilion" "The breeze and bright moon are priceless, but unfortunately it is only sold for 40,000 yuan", and the next sentence is from the first owner of Canglang Pavilion, Su Shunqin's "Over Suzhou" "Green poplars and egrets are self-satisfied, near the water and far mountains are affectionate", which can be called a convergence of essence.

After writing, Ye Yingwu put away his pen and smiled, Wu Chucai, who was born in Xiucai, was very surprised to look at Ye Yingwu's two lines of words of dragon flying and phoenix dance, and did not wait for Ye Yingwu's command at the moment, so he took it down and framed it, such a couplet is really worthy of Canglang Pavilion.

"What's next for you?" Li Si laughed softly, "Where is Liao Yingzhong, we now know, what Wang Anhe wants to do, the envoy is also in his hands, I'm afraid that the envoy will continue to put on a good show." ”

Ye Yingwu didn't rush to answer, but looked around, the green bamboo was lush, and the houses with white walls and black tiles were one after another. Sighing softly, Ye Yingwu said slowly: "You can't mess around with these people anymore, it's time to leave here." Jiangnan Water Town is also a gentle township, since ancient times, gentle township, hero mound, or don't stay here for a long time as well. ”

"After all, you still can't rest assured that you can't go to Xiangyang?" Li Si said softly, for Ye Yingwu, except for Xiangyang, there is indeed nothing else that can make him so worried, "But as far as his subordinates know, Xiangyang has an army of 150,000, and they are all the elite of the soldiers stationed everywhere, and the people who command the army are the brothers of the Lu family??????

Ye Yingwu couldn't help but smile bitterly, at this time in the Southern Song Dynasty, it seems that everyone did not take Xiangyang too seriously, after all, in their opinion, the number of the Mongolian army and the Song army is the same, and the Song army also has Xiangyang and Fancheng, the two fortified cities to rely on, and there are reinforcements ready to go along the Dajiang Ezhou and other important towns, so they don't think that Xiangyang will be in danger.

Even Li Si, who has always been smart, didn't take Xiangyang to heart.

However, in that time and space, it was precisely because of the carelessness of these people, coupled with the fact that the generals who supported Xiangyang were really more incompetent than the other, so in the end, Xiangyang was lost, the door of the Mongol army to the south was opened, and the Southern Song Dynasty also perished.

Xiangyang, at least Ye Yingwu will have more opportunities to change all this.

However, looking at Ye Yingwu's solemn expression, Li Si's original disapproving expression slowly converged, because he knew that Ye Yingwu held six doors in his hands and even had a powerful secret agent organization like Jinyiwei, since Ye Yingwu attached so much importance to Xiangyang, it obviously showed that under the surface of reality, there must be many things that he didn't know.

Looking at Ye Yingwu with some hesitation, Li Si still didn't hide his curiosity after all, and tried to guess: "Is the envoy worried that with the talent of the Lu family brothers, he really can't hold the city?" ”

Ye Yingwu shook his head, and did not hide Li Si: "I'm not worried about this, even if it is an incompetent general, with a large army of 150,000, it will not make it easy for people to break the city." The siege of the city requires more than seven times the number of troops to be calm, and now the front line of Xiangyang is just a balance between the enemy and us. But have you ever thought about what if the Mongol army is besieging but not attacking, or even encircling points to send reinforcements? ”

Li Si is also a smart person, and he suddenly figured this out at this time, and couldn't help but gasp. For the Song army, Xiangyang is a place that must be saved, but if you want to rescue Xiangyang, you must fight a decisive battle with the Mongol army in the suburbs, which is undoubtedly the advantage of attacking others in that shortcoming, and there is an undefeated reason. What's more, the brothers of the Lu family are cowardly, and I am afraid that they do not have the courage and strength to break through the encirclement of the Mongolian army.

If the stalemate continues, the Song army will be weakened little by little, and Xiangyang City will be depleted.

Encircled the point to send reinforcements, Xiangyang resisted the Mongols with the strength of two cities, and one day it would be broken. And looking at the entire Great Song Dynasty, those who have the strength to rescue Xiangyang, except for Ye Yingwu's Tianwu Army, I am afraid that they will never be able to find another strong force.

Especially in Zhenjiang Mansion, the collapse of tens of thousands of Zhenjiang garrison soldiers made the government and the opposition completely recognize what kind of goods these garrison soldiers who consume huge military salaries, and what kind of wine bags and rice bags are the generals who command them.

With 500 cavalry breaking tens of thousands, Ye Yingwu's shock to the government and the opposition in Zhenjiang even surpassed that of Macheng and Huangzhou, and also exceeded the battle of Luzhou in which everyone knew that Ye Yingwu was involved!

The last bit of glitz in the Great Song Dynasty has been punctured.

Thinking of the vulnerability of the soldiers stationed in Zhenjiang, Li Si also lost confidence in the 150,000 elites in Xiangyang. What is the difference between such an elite and waste wood? No wonder Ye Yingwu is desperate to train a strong army, it turns out that he has succeeded, five hundred battles can easily and urgently garrison troops in Zhenjiangtun, so what about changing to a twenty-thousand-day martial army?

Everywhere in the Great Song Dynasty, in fact, there is no defense.

Suddenly made up his mind, Li Si looked at Ye Yingwu solemnly: "The king's foresight, his subordinates really admire it, and the king has orders and will not give up." ”

Ye Yingwu just smiled heartily: "If you want to say what you command, then accompany a certain person to watch a big show tonight!" ”

"Envoy," the footsteps came, and Yang Feng was dusty, "Enlighten the envoy, the prefect of the king sent a letter, and asked the envoy to read it." ”

Li Si and Ye Yingwu glanced at each other, and Ye Yingwu smiled: "Look, Cao Cao Cao is here, the world is really like this!" ”

Li Si also laughed out loud, but only the second monk Yang Fengzhang, who didn't know the reason for the matter, couldn't figure it out.

――――――――――――――――――――――-

Dusk, Wang Anhe's mansion.

The house was already lit up, and the powerful entourage stood at the door, the door open, quietly waiting for the guests. Wang Anhe's banquet guests naturally couldn't just feast Ye Yingwu, the officials of the entire Pingjiang Mansion received invitations, especially when they learned that the guest of honor this time was the dignified Tianwu Army's four chambers commanding Ye Yingwu Ye Envoy, the big and small officials no longer hesitated.

You must know that if you come to the banquet, it will be okay if you have one more, at least in the future, Jia Rudao will not do anything to you because you participated in a banquet, but if you don't come, one less of you will be just one less person, I'm afraid Ye Yingwu will think about you after he learns,

The taste of being remembered by Ye Envoy Jun is not very pleasant. Even a few officials from the Jia Nidao faction in the office came over very actively.

As the guest of honor, Ye Yingwu naturally couldn't arrive early, and when the main guests came, the sound of horses' hooves was broken, the horses neighed, and a red flag appeared at the end of the street first, and the people on the entire street had been emptied by the Wang family in advance, so he was not afraid of bumping into people.

A hundred cavalrymen galloped on horseback, and the horses' hooves stepped on the bluestone road, making a uniform "click" sound. Every cavalryman was draped all over his body, with a saber at his waist and a crossbow on his back, and this posture was not for a banquet at all, but more like a battle.

The Wang family, who had never seen this posture, was taken aback, and then hurriedly ran back to report to their master.

A moment later, Wang Anhe, the prefect of Pingjiang Prefecture, and Li Chong, the general judge, walked down from the hall surrounded by a group of officials, although Ye Yingwu's deputy envoy along the river was actually almost the same as Wang Anhe's prefect, and the two did not have the so-called superior-subordinate leadership relationship, but for Ye Yingwu, Wang Anhe still did all the etiquette he could fulfill in order not to make him suspicious.

The prefect is still like this, and the general judge and others naturally dare not slack off.

It's just compared to Ye Yingwu's 100 cavalry. There were too few of them to greet them. A hundred cavalrymen stopped at the gate of the palace at the same time, their eyes blazing, and everyone looked straight ahead.

An awe-inspiring murderous aura made these officials feel inappropriate, but no one dared to step forward, including Wang Anhe, whose calves trembled, if it weren't for the courage to hold on, I am afraid that he would have sat on the ground.

Jiang Tie, who was holding the red flag, came out of the crowd, and then Wu Chucai and Zhang Guiyi guarded Ye Yingwu on the left and right, and behind them were Yang Xu and Li Si, among the hundred cavalry, only Yang Su and Li Si were dressed as soldiers, and the generals, including Ye Yingwu, were all draped all over their bodies.

The banner of the word "Song" danced in the wind, Jiang Tie glanced at Wang Anhe under the horse with some contempt, and shouted loudly: "The deputy envoy of the Great Song Dynasty along the river, the right to know Xingzhou, and the four compartments of the Tianwu Army are all commanding Ye Zhijun to arrive!" ”

Looking at Jiang Tie, who was flying and domineering and not losing to Ye Yingwu that day, Yang Xu couldn't help but laugh softly: "You have cultivated a good minion!" ”

Ye Yingwu didn't smile, but looked solemn, flipped off the horse, and strode forward. With Jiang Tie shouting behind him, all the cavalry also dismounted.

Although Wang Anhe was frightened, the rest of the officials, including several generals, did not dare to take a breath. Ye Yingwu walked all the way to Wang Anhe and bowed his hand slightly: "Governor Wang, we met again, it is really an honor for Ye to be invited to a banquet by the Governor Wang, and to have so many colleagues come out to greet him!" ”

"Ye Zhizhou is serious." Wang Anhe hurriedly snorted, "Zhizhou, please go and sit down first." ”

Ye Yingwu was not humble, and walked straight ahead, Yang Xu and Li Si followed closely behind him, while Wu Chucai and Zhang Gui pressed their swords in their hands and followed with ten personal guards. With these two generals and ten highly skilled guards, Ye Yingwu was not afraid of what tricks Wang Anhe could do. And another servant took Jiang Tie and the rest of the cavalry to the side room to rest.

Walking in the front, above the palatial lobby, sure enough, the doors of the left and right rooms are tightly covered, but if they don't get the information in advance, normal people won't care about this. Ye Yingwu smiled coldly, and glanced back at Wang Anhe meaningfully, but Wang Anhe kept his head down slightly, not noticing Ye Yingwu's sharp eyes.

The form of the banquet is still according to the ancient etiquette. Wang Anhe sat on the upper seat as the master, while Ye Yingwu sat on his left hand side, and Li Chong, the general judge of Pingjiang Prefecture, sat on the right hand side. In front of everyone was a set of tables and chairs, on which the meals were already arranged.

If it weren't for the fact that this lobby occupies a large area, I am afraid that there would not be enough people to sit.

"Everyone, please." Wang Anhe smiled and made a gesture of please.

Ye Yingwu sat down politely at all, and Li Chong, as the general judge of Pingjiang Mansion, is nominally the assistant of the prefect of Pingjiang Prefecture, but in fact, the general judgment is set up to contain the power of the dispersed prefect, and there is no so-called subordinate relationship between the two, and the general judgment is directly under the orders of the imperial court. So when he saw Ye Yingwu sitting down, Li Chong was not polite.

The two most important guests had already sat down, and the officials below naturally stopped prevaricating and sat down one after another, but everyone subconsciously looked at Wang Anhe. Wang Anhe smiled, stood up and said:

"In order to exterminate the Hongqi traitors, Ye Zhizhou came to Pingjiang Mansion thousands of miles away, and finally decided in the first battle last night, which is worthy of the rising star of my Great Song Dynasty, and the future pillar of the Great Song Dynasty, this glass of wine should be congratulated by Ye Zhizhou!"

A group of civil and military officers immediately stood up and followed: "Congratulations to Ye Zhizhou!" ”

Ye Yingwu didn't shirk either, just smiled and said: "The little brother was able to suppress the Hongqi rebellion, it was really out of luck, I don't deserve to be so praised by the prefect Wang, this glass of wine The little brother did it first as a respect." ”

Seeing that although Ye Yingwu was only a weak crown, he was at ease in this wine field, and the officials below who were still waiting to see the jokes couldn't help but restrain their minds, this Ye Lingjun was young and was able to take charge of one party, and it was really worthy of his reputation.

Wang Anhe drank a glass of wine, and the smile on his face was even stronger: "This second glass of wine, I still have to respect Ye Zhizhou, and at the same time, I must also respect the old man himself." Ye Zhizhou and the little girl in the family are in love, and it is really the luck of the Wang family to want to marry him. ”

Like a bolt from the blue, the officials below were all dumbfounded.

In order to please Ye Yingwu and hug Ye Yingwu's thigh, this Wang Anhe really made a bloody investment, and even his daughter, who has always been a strange goods, was sent out!

It's just that this guy has never thought about what he wants to do when he is so close to Ye Yingwu that after Ye Yingwu leaves, he Wang Anhe is not a fish and meat that Jia Yidao slaughtered?

Even a few of Jia Nidao's cronies and officials have secretly gritted their teeth, as long as they can help Jia Xianggong overthrow this unknown Wang Anhe in the future, even if they can't get the position of the prefect, they will not be able to avoid their own glory and wealth.

Ye Yingwu looked at Wang Anhe with a smile: "This is just a private matter between the two families, why should the prefect say it in public, the son-in-law is a little embarrassed." ”

Are you embarrassed? Wang Anhe secretly sneered in his heart, I haven't seen a person like you who is so brazen and forcible to take it! However, Wang Anhe still said with a smiling face: "In the eyes of Zhizhou, it is really an honor for the little girl to marry Zhizhou." ”

Before the words fell, Wang Anhe had already glanced at several cronies, and those people did not hesitate to stand up and congratulate Ye Yingwu and Wang Anhe on their marriage.

After a glass of wine, Ye Yingwu was already a little dizzy, and his face gradually flushed. But Li Si and Yang Xu, who had been standing silently behind Ye Yingwu, still looked around calmly and vigilantly, and Wu Chucai and the ten guards led by Zhang Shun behind them were even more unclothed, and their eyes were cold.

Wang Anhe naturally knew that these people were not easy to deal with, so he could only ask tentatively at the moment: "Ye Zhizhou, on this celebration banquet, there are so many people in armor, is it a bit too murderous?" The old man has already prepared good wine and meat, how about letting these strong men go down and drink it? ”

Ye Yingwu was stunned, turned around and smiled: "What do you think, the prefect of the palace is kind-hearted." ”

Wu Chucai muttered secretly in his heart, don't scare me. At that moment, the twelve people did not speak, and in desperation, Wu Chucai could only stubbornly say: "The duty of the last general is to protect the envoy, but if the envoy has any orders, the last general should obey it." ”

"Then go down, can my father-in-law still treat you badly?" Ye Yingwu smiled heartily and waved his hand.

Wu Chucai and Zhang Shun squeezed out smiles that were more ugly than crying, but they didn't dare to refute it, so they could only take people down a little gloomy. It's just that Yang Xu and Li Si, as left and right followers, are still unmoving. Ye Yingwu didn't care about the two of them either.

Seeing that these soldiers, who were undoubtedly the biggest obstacle, had already gone down, Wang Anhe breathed a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly, Ye Yingwu said: "Wang Zhifu, now that you have become a family, I don't know if you can let Ling Ai come out and have a drink with a certain pair?" ”

"Huh?!" Wang Anhe, who was originally going to give orders to Zhuo Naye Yingwu, was immediately stunned.

And Huo Ran, the soldier who had not yet walked out of the lobby, turned around, and everyone's hands pressed on the handle of the knife intentionally or unintentionally.

Behind Wang Anhe, cold sweat flowed.
