The flowing water is murmuring, the tea fragrance is curling, the pavilions and pavilions are hidden in the square inch, and the text and ink poems are hung as screens.

The breeze came and rattled.

The six people sat around, and Xiahou Chun looked around, suspicious.

Although Liu Yu was unexpected here, it was reasonable, but Yang Zhong was actually there?

The nominal 'third uncle' of his own family is amazing, not only has he entered the military department with his 'grand plan and foresight', but Wen Taowu is the first choice.

And as the queen mother's family, he won the trust of Emperor Jing, and after the first appointment of the military department, he was transferred to the Yulin Army, and in just a few years, he sat in the position of the right commander.

As mentioned earlier, Chen Xuanli has sat in this position, Yang Zhong has sat in it, and the rest of the Dajing Qingzhuang have sat in it, and they have one thing in common - Emperor Jing's cronies.

However, she is a beautiful woman, so she can't be a thief.

It's just a matter of choosing to be loyal to him, but why do you have to go against the master, or rebel!

If you have such a criminal record, then don't blame the master for not trusting you.

Seemingly sensing Xiahou Chun's vigilance, Yang Zhong smiled bitterly, and after a little silence, asked: "Does Your Highness know why your humble position betrayed Your Highness, and now you are here again?" ”

Xiahou Chun said lightly: "Before leaving the capital, my subordinates told me that Commander Yang seemed to have escaped from prison and killed the guard. ”

He glanced at Wei Boyu, who had a calm face, and suddenly sighed lightly: "Now the entire Taikang City blames the death of Lord Wei on the head of this palace, I never expected that Lord Wei actually 'came back from the dead'. ”

Wei Boyu smiled slightly, "It is Boyu's fault to let His Highness suffer an injustice, if His Highness wants to condemn him, listen to it." ”

Yo, it's pretty strong.

With a cry in his heart, Xiahou Chun showed a wry smile on his face, waved his hand and said: "Wei Shilang is serious, this palace is not to blame, no matter what, Lord Wei is fine." ”

Yang Zhong on the side suddenly knelt down on one knee and said in a deep voice: "I am guilty of despicability, and I ask His Highness to punish him." ”

The people in the field looked at each other, Liu Yu secretly looked at Xiahou Chun, Fang Chu quietly squinted, Wei Boyu lowered his eyes and said no more.

After a little silence, Xiahou Chun stood behind and stared at Yang Zhong deeply for a long time.

I don't know how long it has been, before he said slowly: "But what did he order? ”

Xiahou Chun is not stupid, he has never turned around before, but he is a fan of the authorities, and now he has gotten out of the quagmire of Taikang, looking back and reviewing the 'prince conspiracy case', he can naturally see that something is wrong from those clues.

After thinking about it, he seemed to have realized that the 'crown prince Xiahou Chun' was tricked by Emperor Jing.

That is, as the saying goes, 'fishing law enforcement'!

His 'rebellion' made him lose his princelings, and also made his family completely break with Concubine Xiao, and even dragged the dispute between the Xiao Party and the Imperial Party to the surface, which is both a conspiracy and a conspiracy.

He hated it in his heart, no wonder that old guy dared to go to Tiandu Peak so confidently and boldly, it turned out that he had already prepared.

Maybe Zhang Xiang and Xiao Dang are also in their control.

I just hope that the old man doesn't underestimate Xuanzong's strength.

Otherwise, you will be careless and lose all the games!

After a thousand thoughts in his mind, in fact, there were only a few thoughts, and after he sighed lightly, he helped Yang Zhong up and said sincerely: "Third uncle, you are tormenting your nephew, in fact, from that day on, I know the cause and effect." ”

He paused and said calmly: "I thought he would sacrifice you, but now that you are safe, this palace is relieved." ”

Give the old man an eye drop, whether it is useful or not, put it on first.

Yang Zhong bowed his head in shame, looking difficult to see.

Xiahou Chun was relieved: "Since it is a misunderstanding, Commander Yang doesn't have to worry about it, this matter has already been turned over." ”

Yang Zhong's expression eased, and he said convincingly: "Your Highness has the four seas in mind, which is enough to carry Jiuzhou. ”

Reconciled again, the atmosphere in the pavilion was relaxed and happy.

After some greetings, the topic naturally also talked about Xiahou Chun's northward journey.

"Your Highness is going north, I don't know if there is a good way to pacify him?" Fang Chu raised his eyes and asked.

Looking at the rest of the people, Xiahou Chun sighed for a while, and then replied: "Don't hide it from you, it seems that Zhang Xiang's proposal to pacify Youyan is actually a plan of the palace. ”

He raised his eyes to look at Fang Chu and said calmly: "But this is also a last resort, if the center changes, the position of the crown prince of this palace will also be in jeopardy." ”

Wei Boyu, who pursed his lips silently, had a cold look in his eyes, and said coldly: "There is no one in the country, and he actually makes Dao slaves go unpunished." ”

Liu Yu, who was sitting next to him, had a square face and said slowly: "Your Highness doesn't have to worry about the situation, and now that the power of the three provinces has returned to Shangshu, except for the subordinates who can still refute it, Zhongshu Xiao Xiang has been silent for many days, and has not barked and bitten. ”

Xiahou Chun looked sideways, and saw that this person was standing like a bell sitting loosely, with a dignified appearance, a majestic and frank appearance, a strong voice but also a round tone, and a slightly thicker Taikang accent, just like a person in Guanzhong.

Before this 'advised' Emperor Jing to restrain his selfish desires, he had written a book on the affairs of the elite soldiers, but the government was difficult to return, and he was almost terminally ill.

Three times and twice provoked the center, annoying Emperor Jing and Empress Xiao, and was finally demoted to Henan Province before ten months, because he took one step ahead and went south by water, which was three points faster than Xiahou Chun and others.

A morning plays nine heavens, and the sunset degrades Jiangnan Road three thousand.

If you want to eliminate the evils for the Shengming, you are willing to decay and cherish the old age.

Although Dajing has hidden dangers, he has not given up, because Emperor Jing is still there, and the prince is still alive!

There is Zhang Xiang in the national dynasty to contain the Xiao party, and there are loyal ministers and good generals in the local area, who will inevitably repeat the mistakes of the previous Yan.

After Xiahou Chun groaned for a while, he bowed his head and said: "Dajing's illness lies in Xuanzong, not just a traitor and a thief. And the Xiao Party relies on the fact that in addition to Xuanzong, there is also a big helping hand! ”

His gaze drifted, fell on Yang Zhong, and said softly: "Third uncle, do you know who this helper is?" ”

Yang Zhong frowned slightly, Wei Boyu raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Highness refers to the Northern Barbarians?" ”

Fang Chu picked up the purple clay pot, the hot spring water poured down, and the oolong tea leaves in the cup drifted with the waves, rolling wantonly in the cup, like officialdom, up and down, repeatedly, and rotated.

He said with a smile: "This famous Cheyun tea is like a strip in appearance, round and tight, straight and straight, silver and green, the bottom of the leaf is tender and green, and one bud and one leaf." The aroma is as new as new, refreshing to the heart and lungs. ”

After the initial washing, he poured the hot water vapor into it, and a touch of tea suspected of fermentation lingered, making everyone in the audience frown lightly and sniff it subconsciously.

After serving tea, Fang Chu said slowly: "It is inevitable for the clouds to go south, only morning and evening, this is also the consensus of the government and the opposition, but how to deal with it is worth studying." ”

After handing Wei Boyu a glass, he breathed a sigh of relief and said leisurely: "Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, you can't be in a hurry, you can't be slow, you must be relaxed and take every step of the way, I'm afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses." ”

He smiled: "The Dao Gate seems to be a tree with big roots and deep roots, but in fact, as long as its source is cut off, they will fall and scatter, so there is no need to worry. But all this requires a slow knife blunt meat, and a frog boiled in warm water, otherwise suddenly a dose of fierce medicine, anyone will jump off the wall in a hurry. ”

He looked at Xiahou Chun and said with a smile: "Isn't this exactly what His Highness used to plan." ”

Wei Boyu lowered his eyes and stared at the tea leaves, his gaze sneaked into the tea, and his expression faintly seemed to hook up the cold pupils in the teacup, he raised his eyes to look at Fang Chu:

"At this time and that time, my eyebrows are burning, and I still think about it, don't you have to wait for the death of the country to think about it?"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Yang Zhong waved his hand to stop it, looked at Xiahou Chun and asked, "According to His Royal Highness's intentions, could it be that the foreign aid of Wanning Palace is Yunxiao Kingdom?" ”

Xiahou Chun sniffed the tea, and after putting down the teacup, "Not bad!" ”

He said in a deep voice: "The Yunxiao Imperial Family has regarded itself as the master of the Central Plains for generations, and they and I Dajing are not only a dispute between farming and animal husbandry, but also a dispute of expanding interests of various countries.

Therefore, there must be a war between the two countries, and this war is better than coming early, and instead of being led by them, it is better for us to turn the passive into the active, take the north of Hexi in one fell swoop, and keep the enemy out of the country! ”

Fang Chu, who was serving tea, shook his head and said, "I thought that at present, we still have to focus on differentiation and co-optation, rather than facing the entire sky. ”

He paused for a moment, looked at Xiahou Chun, and said in a condensed voice: "Now that Your Majesty is going to Tiandu Peak, Dajing can be called the master of the six gods, and those who are loyal to Dajing will soon raise their hands and surrender under the fierce attack of Daonu, and those who are close to our camp will soon collapse." ”

He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Therefore, we need to cultivate and recuperate, we need to take a breath, and we must not face the clouds head-on!" ”

He added: "At least not right now." ”

Xiahou Chun was silent, Fang Chu's resistance to being hostile to Yunxiao must not be his family's thoughts, and his representative may be the vast majority of the anti-war alliance in the entire Dajing.

This is a disagreement, a difference in political views, and a compromise on the imminent civil strife in Dajing and the suspected need for a split.

And Xiahou Chun also realized that these people were not here to help him, at least they would not give him soldiers and horses food and grass without reservation.

Looking around, Fang Chu politely refused, Wei Boyu advocated that the outside must first be settled, and the Dao slave should be eliminated first, so what about Yang Zhong?

After seeing the prince's gaze, Yang Zhong was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "I am different from you, I thought that His Highness should take advantage of the opportunity of the clouds to go south, and the army should go south, and the garrison is too healthy!" ”

With a bang, Fang Chu, who was about to lift the pot, directly knocked over the teacup purple pot and scattered it on the ground.

Wei Boyu glared suddenly, looked at Yang Zhong deadly, and said in a cold voice: "Why, last year's rebellion failed, and Commander Yang still wants His Highness to step on a horse and be too well-off?" ”

This topic is so big that Xiahou Chun can't help but feel a little dry.

He was like a cow chewing a peony, after pouring three cups of tea, he moistened his throat, waved his hand to stop the quarrel in the field, and said helplessly to Yang Zhong:

"The third uncle can't talk nonsense, this palace went to Youyan this time, and he came to the right name, and he was ordered by the center to pacify the place; Second, it is also to assist the governments of the three states to alienate the local military and government, but they don't dare to say anything more. ”

Yang Zhong glanced at Xiahou Chun, who seemed to be full of deep meaning and was noncommittal.

No matter what others do, Xiahou Chun's 'single-minded and conscientious' heart has never changed.

Coercing the army to the south, the soldiers knocking on Taikang, what is this not a rebellion? Do you still want to have a second palace or not?

Looking at Xiahou Chun, he kept saying that it was for the people of Youyan, but in fact, they already knew that the target of the East Palace was going north, what was it if it wasn't soldiers and horses?

Wei Boyu sneered in his heart, and those high-sounding excuses were just for the sake of military advice.

In the end, it was Fang Chu who reconciled the mud, and after pacifying the two parties, he asked again: "As His Highness said, if you want to keep the enemy out of the country, you need the military and political assistance of the Quartet, I wonder if Your Highness can be prepared?" ”

If you want to kill the enemy, how to get the men, horses, food and grass, the battle strategy can be planned, and many problems need to be solved urgently.

Xiahou Chun looked at them and smiled slightly: "This is the reason why this palace came to visit Lord Fang." ”

He stood up and bowed towards Fang Chu: "Xiahou has no ink on his chest, and his stomach is empty, this time he came to ask Lord Fang for advice on how to defend against the enemy." ”

Fang Chu's face softened slightly, and he helped Xiahou Chun up, "The prince is serious. ”

Although this Luoyang Ling was famous for his 'virtuous and square' system, few people knew that this person had entered the 'Tanhua' with the talent of 'governing the country through the state'.

can be called erudite and talented, both civil and military, not under the 'Taikang Eight Horses'.

And what makes Xiahou Chun even more important is that this person is still the cousin of Fang Qiuya, the current commander of the Nankang Army!

After a little consideration, Fang Chu said slowly: "Your Highness is going north to defend against the enemy, and the first thing to rush is the border defense!" ”

"Although we have built a defense line on the border of Dajing, our powers and responsibilities are scattered and not subordinate to each other, so that the clouds and horses have repeatedly crossed the border, so how to stop the thieves from the border is the top priority."

A few people on the side were not ignorant of soldiers, so Wei Boyu snorted coldly: "This is a good thing to say, but the border is long and narrow, and the border soldiers alone, how can we make the border not leak?" What's more, the terrain of the border town is lonely and there are few people, how can it be foolproof? ”

Fang Chu waved his hand and said: "Otherwise, it is precisely because the border town is lonely and hangs outside the fortress, and its water, grass and green land are scattered and fertile, and the paste is abundant, we can build a city to cut off the road, and we can also supply and supply the dungeon forts and garrisons in Sushuo Prefecture, forming a bridgehead to resist the Northern Barbarians." ”

Xiahou Chun is not a military novice, and said with a slight frown: "Building a city is not a trivial matter, let alone an easy task, close to the land of Youyan, I am afraid that it will not be able to build a huge border fortress city that can resist the iron hooves of the clouds." ”

Fang Chu glanced at him and said lightly: "I have sheltered the remnants of Southern Chu for many years, shouldn't they express it?" There are also former Yan remnants who have lived in Yanjing for a long time, and have been colluding with local forces for a long time, if they are not uprooted, they may become a place of erosion in the future. ”

Xiahou Chun stroked his palm and smiled, and said with relief: "In this way, nearly half of the money and grain for building the city are enough." ”

Wei Boyu's eyes flashed, Sen Ran smiled, his face was full of frost, and he said murderously: "The land of Youyan is far away from Tiandu Peak, and the Taoist temples are all over the three states and hundreds of counties, and there are countless people and ointments that have been looted. ”

Xiahou Chun was happy in his heart, this guard waiter was really a 'Dao Destroying Blade'.

Yang Zhong on the side suddenly said: "Now Your Majesty has personally ascended to Tiandu Peak and restrained most of the Daomen forces, and the opportunity must not be lost, and it will not come again." ”

Xiahou Chun nodded lightly, he understood, this was really the old man's backhand, "In this way, the money and food are sufficient, and it can barely be regarded as a worry." ”

After pondering for a while, Fang Chu continued: "In addition, I can choose a place near the water, build the Moon City and occupy the head of the water, so that the Yunxiao Iron Rider cannot go south to drink horses.

And outside the Moon City View Tower, the city is constantly cast to enclose the land, and it is encroached on step by step, until it is repaired to the capital of Yunxiao Kingdom! ”

Xiahou Chun smiled: "Destroying the grassland to recultivate, casting the city to expand the edge, and cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, this move can be called the bottom of the kettle, if it is really implemented, the enemy of the clouds is already worry-free." ”

Liu Yu, who was silent, raised his eyes and poured a basin of cold water on Xiahou Chun: "But on the premise of doing this, His Highness still needs an army that is good at fighting." ”

Fang Chu chuckled, bowed his head slightly, and said quietly: "And you have to be obedient." ”

The main event, here.

Xiahou Chun stared at him and said softly: "Then do you think this army came from?" ”
