The boat slowly leaned against the pier.

The river flows, and the north is under the mountain.

The white-haired old man held a cane and walked up to the pier step by step, but the old man looked not young, but his body was still very strong, and there was no one behind him to support him, so he held his head high and walked on this land that he had never been before.

"Ye Bo." Ye Yingwu was dressed in a green shirt, standing at the front of the crowd, the wind blew the hem of his clothes, and Ye Yingwu strode forward. And Jiang Tie and Wu Chucai, who became more and more cautious after Ye Yingwu was in danger several times, stepped forward without saying a word, and followed left and right.

Ye Jie's eyes were full of love when he looked at Ye Yingwu, after all, for him, no matter how far Ye Yingwu went, he was still the second man in the family, and he was the young man he looked up at. In Ye Jie's impression, Ye Yingwu is not more of a powerful and famous Ye Yuanjun, but the suave Ye Yanei, the little scoundrel who dragged the corner of his clothes to eat.

"It's growing again!" Ye Jie stroked his beard and smiled slightly.

It seems that all the elders like to say this when they see their beloved juniors. Ye Yingwu just smiled, for this old man, he only has respect and dependence, this is not only the subconscious reaction that Ye Yingwu left for this body before, but also Ye Yingwu thinks that this old man who has paid his life for the Ye family and is still following his father deserves.

This is one of Ye Yingwu's closest people in this world.

Ye Jie walked up the steps a little tremblingly, and nodded appreciatively at Ye Yingwu: "When Yuan Ji was engaged, it was the old man who went, and more than ten years have passed, Yuan Lie, you have finally grown up, and it is time to start a family." The old man once thought that Yuanji was the last time he watched the old Ye family marry a wife, but he didn't expect that the sky had eyes, and after all, he still let the old man live until now. ”

Ye Yingwu personally stepped forward to support the old man, and said with a smile: "Ye Bo, don't talk about this, you see that you are now, coming from a long distance, aren't you still in good spirits, according to a certain look, Ye Bo will have no problem living for another forty or fifty years!" ”

Ye Jie glared at Ye Yingwu: "Forty or fifty years, your kid can't help but shoot the boundless, how old are the old men in forty or fifty years, joke!" Yuanlie, you are now an important minister of the Great Song Dynasty, you can't be the same as before, kind-hearted, anyone can bully, and you have to blush if you lie. Your father is like this, the old man doesn't want to watch you follow in his footsteps, the sea has been sinking for so many years and you can't live in peace! ”

Ye Jie and Ye Mengding grew up together, so don't look at him as a servant, but he is qualified to criticize Ye Mengding so unscrupulously, looking at the entire Ye Mansion, there is only this one person. Ye Yingwu also laughed bitterly, at least it was not himself who was nagged.

And Jiang Tie and the others who accompanied him naturally couldn't help laughing.

It's just that Ye Jie didn't care about the reactions of the people around him, and smiled and knocked on the bluestone slab ground with a cane: "You kid still hurry up and let the old man see his grandson, this is an old bone, I'm afraid it won't last a few days, or hurry up and see your grandson and feel at ease!" ”

Ye Yingwu smiled embarrassedly, his brother has never had descendants, so he has no heirs, and the Ye family is about to die, not to mention Ye Jie's worries, which of his parents is not worried when he sees him, and he can't wait to pull this son who only knows how to rush to the front to fight and kill back and lock him in the room just working hard every day.

Yang Xu, Lu Xiufu, Guo Chang and others were also waiting in front, and when they saw Ye Yingwu supporting an old man to come slowly, they naturally didn't dare to hesitate and hurriedly stepped forward. And Yang Xu naturally held the other side of the old man and smiled sweetly:

"You are always Ye Bo, I have heard from the envoy a long time ago."

Ye Jie's heart suddenly burst into joy: "This girl is good, good!" Yuanlie, I think this girl can also be considered, you are still too far away from the three wives and four concubines in the back house! ”

Ye Yingwu had a black line on his head, and said with a wry smile: "This is Su Niang, and Su Niang and Su Niang have also been in love for a long time??????"

Looking back at Yang Xu, who was blushing, Ye Jie said with a smile: "The old man's ability to make decisions is still there, this girl is okay, she looks like she is good at birth, the old man likes it at a glance, I think it is also in the near future." ”

"Disrespectful for the old!" Yang Xu couldn't help but snort, although when he and Ye Yingwu were alone, he didn't show his little daughter's attitude, but now in front of the public, there are still many soldiers from the six doors inside and outside the city and the hundred battles to watch, Yang Xu can appear in women's clothes unusually, it is already a big breakthrough, and now that Ye Jie is so "teased", where can he still hang on his face.

And those who were even the six door guards who were trained by her own hands, although they still didn't squint, but their shoulders twitched a little because of the laughter could be clearly seen.

Several carriages were already waiting not far away, Ye Yingwu personally helped Ye Jie to get into the car, and then stepped on the war horse on the side by himself, and the convoy slowly moved forward surrounded by the crowd. Looking at the carriage on the side, Ye Yingwu squinted his eyes slightly and exhaled softly.

After all, I am going to get married, and this era is finally inseparable and tightly integrated. Ye Yingwu is him, he is Ye Yingwu. And this unrecognizable friend of the Song and Yuan dynasties, who has been changed, will eventually be his battlefield!

————————————————-

It was not only Ye Jie who came to Zhenjiang Mansion, Zhang Cheng brought more than 100 elites selected by the Six Doors and Jinyi Guards to support.

Ye Jie went directly to the Lu Mansion to discuss the marriage with the Lu family. And Ye Yingwu went to Beigushan with Lu Xiufu, Guo Chang and others. As early as yesterday, Beigulou had been completely covered, and the soldiers of the Tianwu Army had already been deployed all over the mountain, after all, Ye Yingwu was assassinated in Zhenjiang Mansion last time, so no one dared to relax.

Beigu Mountain, overlooking the green onion, the pillow river, the stone wall is saggy, the mountain is dangerous, there is more the Southern Dynasty Liang Wu Emperor inscribed "the first river and mountain in the world", Beigu Mountain and Jinshan, Jiaoshan three mountains stand together, overlooking the most important ferry port in the lower reaches of the river - Jingkou, control Chu and Wu, here is dangerous, it is difficult to feel it if you are not immersive.

For this famous mountain, Ye Yingwu also chose to walk up the mountain, a group of people climbed from the southern foot of the middle peak of Beigu Mountain, the green trees extend from the foot of the mountain to the mountain, faintly you can hear the sound of Jiang Tao slapping the cliff and turning and agitating, so that the climbers want to climb higher and have a great view. And at the top of the mountain, an iron tower stands tall.

Ye Yingwu stopped under the iron tower, and sighed softly, this is the famous Beigu Mountain Weigong Tower, which was built in the first year of the Tang Dynasty Baoli, and later the court was rich during the Yuanfeng period, in order to pray for good weather and rain, the nine-level iron tower was rebuilt, but in later generations Ye Yingwu was fortunate to climb the Beigu Mountain, and the Song Dynasty Iron Tower has only the bottom tower base.

Now this iron tower, which symbolizes the prosperity of the Northern Song Dynasty, stands straight in front of him, guarding the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in front of him.

"This tower is truly extraordinary." Lu Xiufu, who was behind Ye Yingwu, looked up at the iron tower, and couldn't help but sigh softly, "It is precisely because of this tower and this mountain that Zhenjiang is worthy of the name Zhenjiang." All the enemies of the north, even if they cross the great river and natural danger, will eventually be suppressed under this mountain and this tower. ”

"This place can be compared to half of Xingzhou Mountain." Ye Yingwu nodded, but did not stay any longer, but walked straight forward, and the Qinghui Pavilion and the iron tower on one side echoed each other, becoming a must-see scene on the mountain.

Ye Yingwu compared Zhenjiang Beigu Mountain to Xingzhou Banbi Mountain, which made the hearts of the people behind him slightly stunned, especially Guo Chang, who was about to stay here, and he had an understanding in his heart. In addition to a small camp at the foot of the mountain where Zhenjiang Prefecture is stationed with soldiers, there is not even a garrison camp on the mountain.

No matter how much Zhenjiang Mansion suffers from the enemy, it may be plotted by Lin'an at any time, but no matter who is stationed in Zhenjiang Mansion, we must not forget that the most important thing in the entire Zhenjiang Mansion is still the important town in the south of the Yangtze River facing the north of the Yangtze River. Ye Yingwu is recasting a stronghold in Jiangnan.

Looking at the entire river, the heavy troops of the Great Song Dynasty in the direction of Xiangyang are stationed, although there is nothing to do, as for the other parts, Ye Yingwu's layout has vaguely surfaced. Zhenjiang Prefecture, Xingzhou and the last Luzhou, Ye Yingwu is gradually controlling the military towns along the river, these places are dangerous, not only can garrison the army to face the south, but also can launch an attack to the north at any time, like an iron chain tied to the neck of the Southern Song Dynasty, more like a sharp blade ready to sheath and stab north.

This point was not until Ye Yingwu made a good alliance with the generals of Luzhou to the west and took control of Zhenjiang Mansion to the east, and Lu Xiufu and others were faintly aware of it, and they had to sigh at Ye Yingwu's meticulousness and sophistication. However, it is no wonder that in fact, among the civil and military officials of the Tianwu Army, there are indeed very few people who really have this kind of strategic layout thinking and ability, and it is not surprising to say that there are none.

After all, the Southern Song Dynasty was first suppressed and beaten by the Northern Jin State and later by Mongolia for so many years, and the civil and military who grew up in this situation, even if they were great talents like Wen Tianxiang and Lu Xiufu, would involuntarily focus on the defense of one point at a time, rather than the layout of the overall situation. For so many years, the Southern Song Dynasty focused on defending wherever the enemy in the north fought.

For a long time, the Southern Song Dynasty had a huge army, but it was exhausted, although the country's prosperity was actually better than that of the Han and Tang dynasties, but such a huge expenditure on food and salary was a heavy burden for the country's granary and treasury. What's more, now that the Southern Song Dynasty and Mongolia have not really entered a state of war, there are still high amounts of New Year's coins that need to be sent to the north every year to beg for peace.

Ye Yingwu's words made the people present have endless aftertastes, and when they came back to their senses, they didn't know that they had walked to Ganlu Temple. This temple that is famous all over the world for Liu Bei's proposal to Wu Guotai is located on the top of Beigu Mountain, and behind Ganlu Temple, the pavilion is heavy, the eaves stand upright, the high base is on the top of Beigu Mountain, it is Beigu Building, also known as "Duojinglou".

This multi-view building and Yueyang Tower, Yellow Crane Tower and become "the three famous buildings of the Yangtze River", although the building has only two floors, but relying on the mountain, the corridor is open in all directions, there is no feeling of low at all.

"Where to look at Shenzhou, full of scenery Beigulou, how many things have risen and fallen through the ages, leisurely! The Yangtze River is not endless! Ye Yingwu waved his hand, his sleeves were in the wind, and he stood under the Beigu building and chanted aloud. And Lu Xiufu, who was standing behind him, followed closely without hesitation:

"Young and ten-thousand-year-old, sitting down and fighting in the southeast. Who is the opponent of the heroes of the world? Cao Liu! Give birth to a son like Sun Zhongmou! ”

The aftermath lingered, and the two of them looked at each other and laughed, feeling like a confidant.

"I want Xin Jiaxuan to look at the infinite rivers and mountains here by the railing, but it is difficult to go north to kill the enemy and restore my mountains and rivers, how sad, how painful!" Ye Yingwu knocked on the railing with his hand, leisurely fascinated. At that time, Xin Qijian was in Zhenjiang Mansion, climbed Beigu Mountain, looked at the north, and finally stopped here. It's just a pity that I came too late, and I still didn't see this famous hero through the ages. Thinking back then, Xin Qiji rode alone to break through the wolf smoke, became famous in a battle, and traveled south, but he didn't expect that he would die of old age at the foot of this Beigu Mountain.

Ye Yingwu was fascinated leisurely, but the faces of the people behind him had changed greatly. Lu Xiufu, Guo Chang and the others subconsciously glanced at each other, and they all saw the horror in each other's eyes. Who doesn't know that Xin Qiji did not have the Northern Expedition in the end, and then the inaction of the imperial court, so although the imperial court has always commended Xin Qiji's loyalty afterwards, it never mentioned Xin Qiji's long-cherished wish for the Northern Expedition.

And now Ye Yingwu directly broke through this layer of window paper, which has been regarded as taboo by people with a little knowledge, and sighed with emotion, this is simply a slap in the face of the court. If all of Ye Yingwu's actions before could be regarded as being against Jia Nidao, then now he is directly provoking the court and provoking the majesty of the official family.

Ye Yingwu looked back at them, a sneer flashing across the corners of his mouth.

The court and the official family are just a joke, but you haven't seen through it now. What is the difference between the current Southern Song Dynasty and the Southern Dynasty at that time, but it is peaceful. Looking at the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, the soldiers who fought hard, are they still loyal to this weak and incompetent court?

"The dangerous building is still looking forward, sighing at this meaning, the ancient people have been in a hurry, the ghost has set up a god, and he thinks that the sky is limited to the south and the north of Xinjiang!" The voice of chanting did not come from Ye Yingwu this time, but from Beigulou, but it was Zhang Shijie, the commander of the Jinghu Water Division, who now belonged to Ye Yingwu, the deputy envoy of the control along the river, "Yuanlie, Junshi, Xusheng, look at you, what are you doing standing below, there are thousands of scenery on this floor, come up quickly!" ”

As if the coldness and embarrassment just now had been resolved, Ye Yingwu and Lu Xiufu smiled slightly, and walked forward one after the other, and Ye Yingwu even opened his mouth and smiled: "One water is horizontal, three sides of the post are connected, and the battle for dominance is made." What happened to the Six Dynasties, it was only a private plan! ”

The people behind him no longer figured out what Ye Yingwu meant now, and Guo Chang took it directly without hesitation: "Because of the laughing king, thank you, wait for Gao Huaiyuan, and also learn from heroes, but the Yangtze River can't be managed, and Heluo is endless!" ”

Immediately afterwards, upstairs and downstairs, several people shouted together: "It's just a long drive, don't look back, look for the middle oath!" The child is a thief, and Cheng Ning asks right! ”

As soon as the words fell, Ye Yingwu had already taken the lead in climbing the tall building, the river wind was whistling, the river was surging, and the mountains and rivers were thousands of miles, right in front of him!

Looking at Ye Yingwu, who was leaning on the wind, including Zhang Shijie, everyone took a breath lightly. I don't know if the temperament exuded by this young man is the spirit of a king, or the leader of the Chinese nation has lost his arrogance for too long?
