In Guangling City, Wang Meng was reading a private message from his old friend Xue Qiang.

When it comes to their authority, their sense of smell is extremely sensitive, and the imperial court worships Xue Qiang as the protector of the Northern Court, which is clearly releasing some kind of signal.

The Xue family has a big business, spanning the two states of Yonghe and the land of the division, holding tens of thousands of parts, and no one will be at ease.

"The Xue family has no intention of disobeying His Majesty, but it is just ...... The family is complex, and the hearts of the people are changeable. "Xue Qiang's son, Xue Bian, traveled thousands of miles from Fenyin to send a letter.

The Xue family, also known as the Three Xue, was formed by the fusion of the Xue clan of Shu State, the Xue clan of Hedong, and the Xue clan of Bingzhou, and resisted the Hu people together during the Yongjia Rebellion, and although Xue Qiang was the suzerain, he could not make a decision in a word.

"If you think too much, the court will not forget the merits of the Xue family, and Your Majesty will also make proper arrangements, not only will the Xue family not be weakened, but he will still be able to make great achievements in the future."

If others say it, Xue Wei may still suspect that Wang Meng and Xue Qiang are close friends and will not talk about it.

"If that's the case, my nephew will be relieved."

"Remember, you must not act rashly, otherwise no one will be able to save the Xue family, and after a year, the situation will be clear." Wang Meng said a few words.

"My nephew knows." Xue Wei retreated.

Su Quan on the side said: "It has been more than 20 days since Ling Jun arrived in Guangling, and Wu Huihaoqiang has not heard any news so far, so do you have to disobey the edict?" ”

"Disobey the edict? Do they have the guts? Wang Meng laughed.

To deal with Haoqiang, he dared to really attack.

Guangling's geographical environment is extremely superior, with a naval army in his hand, he can go straight to Wuhui in ten days, and the heroes have no power to fight back.

"Your Majesty has done his best to them, such a good thing, and still pushes back and forth, do I really dare not do it? The subordinates suggested that there should be some more pressure. ”

Su Quan has followed Wang Meng for many years and has learned a lot.

From a simple general, he has become resourceful.

"How to apply pressure?"

"Gather the town army of Huainan Prefecture, prepare more flags, and collect more ships, Jiangdong will naturally be terrified." Su Quan arched his hand.

"You go ahead and arrange it." Wang Meng nodded.

It's not a way to wait like this, you have to put a little pressure on the heroes.

Although Wang Meng has the determination to take action, it is a national policy to drive Wu Huihaoqiang south, and the nobles and heroes in other places are also watching the development of the situation, so it is naturally best not to use force.

Soon, Guangling was in full swing.

Originally, it was a place where rivers and seas converged, and the Great Liang Imperial Court focused on operating this place, which became more and more prosperous.

In a few days, the mouth of the river was crowded with warships, flags were flying like clouds on the shore, and various towns and troops went down the river to the villages.

Jiangdong was in a state of panic.

A few days later, Zhou Zhi, who was the leader of Wu Huihao, went to Guangling to meet Wang Meng.

"Exchange the land mansion of Wuhui for the armor, weapons, and war horses of the imperial court?" Wang Meng didn't expect the heroes to think further.

"Ling Jun doesn't know, the last time the army defeated Linyi, first, the preparation was insufficient, and the second was poor equipment, if the imperial court can help......"

"Yes!" Before he finished speaking, Wang Meng directly agreed.

"We still need the assistance of the imperial navy."

"Yes!" Wang Meng still nodded directly.

Zhou Zhi's eyes moved, and he took out the map from his arms, and there were already many areas on it, either a rich place by the sea, or an important place that held his throat, and even a new place name was given.

The reason why they have been grinding for so long is because they are discussing the division of land.

"Please also ask the court to give us these lands."

The heroes do not see the rabbit and do not scatter the eagle, and there is no reward edict from the imperial court, and their hearts are always unsteady.

Wang Meng laughed, "General Zhou is attentive. ”

This laughter made Zhou Zhi's whole body tremble, "If ...... Ling Jun thinks it's inappropriate, we can change the ......"

"There is no need to change, all your requests are agreed to by the imperial court, there is only one request."

"Lingjun, please speak." Zhou Zhi's eyes widened, he was the head snake in Jiangdong, and in front of Wang Meng, he was as well-behaved as a cat.

"Send troops as soon as possible." These requirements are not excessive for the girders.

Exchanging equipment and reinforcements for land and mansions is not a loss.

"A month later, Wu Hui's disciples will go south to seek peace for the Great Liang to level the Linyi Kingdom!" Zhou Zhi didn't expect Wang Meng to be so easy to speak.

"Not for the beam, it's for Huaxia, and it's for yourself."

Luoyang.

Since the beginning of this year, Li Yue has obviously felt that his body is not as good as before, and the old wounds left by the charge when he was young are faintly painful, especially when it rains, the old wounds seem to be eaten by tens of thousands of ants.

When you are young, you don't take it seriously, and when you reach middle age, your living environment gradually becomes comfortable, and your body deteriorates.

Of some of the founding kings in history, few lived long.

The more worried he was about his body, the faster the illness came, and after a heavy rain, Li Yue was cold all over his body and was bedridden.

"People still have to serve the old." Li Yue sighed, this year is almost forty-five or sixteen.

In this day and age is already counted as an old man.

"My father is in the prime of life, and he is a little sick, and he is cured of his care." Li Jian personally came to serve.

"My body, I know for myself, is not something that can be raised." Li Yue thought very openly, and he didn't have any regrets in this life.

"Father...... It's time to take your medicine. Li Yi came in with a bowl of soup and medicine.

When Li Yue heard this, he looked at his deferential face, and then looked at the hot decoction in his hand, and suddenly felt a little hairy in his heart, and he always felt that he had never seen this scene.

"The son serves his father and the emperor with medicine." Li Jian reached out to pick it up.

Li Yi didn't hand it over, "My father is unwell, the prince should take state affairs first, and my father can take care of me." ”

"The elder brother is benevolent and filial, and the younger brother admires."

"Brothers, why do you say these unseemly words? My father can have me, and the prince can rest assured. ”

The two of them looked at each other, both of them were smiling, and they only retreated after four or five breaths, and those who didn't know really thought that the two were brothers, friends, and brothers.

Although the previous Chang'an invasion of people's houses has passed, another battle has officially begun.

Although the status of the prince is stable, in such a big country, various forces are entangled, and there are many people who don't want to see the prince ascend the throne, and Li Yi has gathered a group of people around him.

Li Yue coughed.

Li Yi hurriedly brought the medicine over, "This is made by Erchen himself, and he is consolidating Peiyuan." ”

Li Yue stared at the black decoction, mentally and physically uncomfortable at the same time, "You can really drink this thing you boiled?" ”

"Father rest assured, there is a disease to heal, no disease to strengthen the body." Li Yi patted her chest and said.

"Then you drink, your body needs to consolidate the foundation more than me."

Li Yi's eyes flashed.

Li Jian said: "Since you can strengthen your body without illness, it doesn't hurt for my brother to drink some." ”

Li Yi laughed dryly, poured down the decoction in one gulp, and at the end, he also burped, "Erchen will serve another bowl for his father." ”

The two brothers looked at each other again.

Li Yi was still smiling, and Li Jian's expression was calm.

"I am not feeling well, and there have been many things in the DPRK and China recently, and the prince still puts state affairs first." Li Yue waved his hand.

"The retainers retired." Li Jian arched his hand at Li Yue, and then at Li Yi.

Li Yi returned the salute.
