Xuzhou, Guangling County, Dongtai County

A pavilion, two people sit opposite each other, with a chessboard in the middle, and a steaming teapot sitting on the small red clay stove next to it.

Guo Chong put the white zi in his hand on the chessboard and said to Fan Yang, "I never expected you to take the initiative to come to me." ”

Fan Yang smiled and followed, "What's this, the mountains don't turn around, and the mountains and rivers will always have a day of reunion." ”

Guo Chong glanced at him, and then fell again, believe you are a ghost.

At this time, Fan Yang mentioned something else, "Governor Lu has no intention of expanding the battlefield in the East China Sea, right?" ”

Guo Chong raised his eyebrows, "Want to know?" Join us in Pingzhou. ”

Fan Yang didn't answer his words, but smiled, "Isn't this obvious?" Your East China Sea Expeditionary Force fought very restrained in the East China Sea, and did not send troops to carry out surprise attacks on the territory of the surrounding imperial courts, nor did it attack the rear supply lines of the imperial court, or strategic important places. The second is that Pingzhou did not provide more support to the East China Sea, both in terms of materials and people. ”

Guo Chongxin said that if they did this, the result would be to expand the battlefield in the East China Sea, and both Pingzhou and the imperial court would continue to throw troops into the East China Sea. This is not in line with their strategic goals.

Fan Yang is still smart.

Fan Yang was regretting in his heart, it was clear that Governor Xie was far stronger than King Jin, and even caught the other party off guard this time by encirclement and suppression. It stands to reason that this battle should be over at lightning speed.

Unexpectedly, because Pingzhou intervened, there was a trend of protracted war.

Fortunately, Pingzhou was concerned about Xianbei's side and had no intention of expanding the battlefield in the East China Sea.

The two continued to fall.

Fan Yang thought about the actions of the Pingzhou Expeditionary Force in the East China Sea, and watched Guo Chong bow his head and think about the chess game, he took a sip of the tea next to him, and suddenly said, "Governor Lu has something to ask for the imperial court?" ”

Guo Chong raised his head with a smirk on his face, "Hehe, guess? But he sighed in his heart, Fan Yang deserved to be a rare smart person in the world.

"The battle in the East China Sea is coming to an end." Fan Yang asserted.

"Really?" Guo Chong asked with a smirk again.

"Governor Xie has an idea, he will not allow the battle of the East China Sea to drag on any longer; Governor Lu has scruples; King Jin didn't support it for long. ”

Guo Chong simply threw away the chess pieces in his hand, and didn't bother to pay attention to the halfway game in front of him, "Fan Yang, in this world of great contention, you must have already chosen a camp, right?" ”

"Let me guess, you chose the imperial court and Xie Zhan?"

Fan Yang glanced at the chessboard and thought to himself, this game of chess could not be finished for the time being.

"The Buddha said, don't say it."

Guo Chong snorted coldly, "I don't dare to admit it, are you worried that you won't be able to get out of this Dongtai County?" ”

Fan Yang did not answer directly, but said, "The imperial court and Pingzhou, Governor Lu and Governor Xie all have their own advantages. ”

Guo Chong said sarcastically, "Hmph, you don't have the heart of a villain. ”

The next day, when Fan Yang successfully left the boundary of Dongtai County, he couldn't help but glance back at the garrison of the Pingzhou Expeditionary Army, and a different color crossed his eyes, he thought to himself, Xie Zhan and Lu Songli have different personalities, one would rather kill by mistake, and the other would rather misplace.

After Fan Yang left, Guo Chong thought about it and sent a letter to the governor, informing her of his guess.

When Lu Songli received the letter, she was not surprised by Fan Yang's choice.

Fan Yang was born in a famous family, and as a vested beneficiary of the Dali Dynasty, the price of switching to the camp was too great.

For many people in this era, there is nothing easier than believing in a hero who has already succeeded, and believing in descendants who share the same surname as him.

This is also the herd effect, because they have eaten fresh grass, and the other sheep will follow them without thinking, hoping that the leader will lead them to find fresh grassland again.

King Cheng and King Jin are not expected by the world, but some people will expect the descendants of the Song family, this generation is not good, then the next generation, what if there is a good seed in the next generation?

Chang'an, Sun Mansion

Taiwei Xiao Qun came to the door, and Sun Lao Taijun received him personally.

At this time, the properties of the soldiers under the command of the Sun family had already been sold.

Xiao Qun looked at the empty Sun Mansion and said, "Old lady, are you too impulsive like this?" These things that are passed on to children and grandchildren, say they are sold? ”

Mrs. Sun said gloomily, "My son and they are gone, what's the use of asking for these yellow and white things." ”

Xiao Jun persuaded bitterly, "Old lady, what is the difference between you doing this and sending you to death?" General Sun Ming, although they are gone, but your grandchildren are still young, you can't bear to give them a way to live? ”

Old Taijun Sun first said excitedly, "Lord Taiwei, my son and they died so miserably, although as a military general, the horse leather shroud is their destination. But there are 100,000 soldiers left without bones, not ten, not a hundred! A thousand! ”

"My grandchildren are still young, but their father and brother died at the hands of Xianbei, they don't avenge their father and brother, they are sons of man in vain!"

"The old body also knows that with this new army of the Sun family, there is no way to deal with the Xianbei army. But someone has to do these things, and only when they are done can there be hope, and if they are not done, there will never be hope. ”

Xiao Qun persuaded again, "Old lady, don't be impulsive. ”

Old Taijun Sun wiped away a handful of tears, "Lord Taiwei, don't worry, the new army of the Sun family is the continuation of the Sun family's army, and I will not let them die in vain." ”

"Isn't General Yang guarding in Xinxing and Zhongshan? After the new army of the Sun family passed, if the war was to be fought, it would definitely be dominated by the army led by General Yang, and if there was a chance, let the children recapture Yanmen to comfort the souls of their father and brother in the sky. ”

Sun Jiajun's number is still there, and they can have a station if they go.

Speaking of this, Mrs. Sun is reasonable, Xiao Qun knew that he couldn't persuade her to say anything, thought about it, and asked, "You also want to leave Chang'an?" ”

There is suspicion in his eyes, this old and young are going to leave Chang'an? This is not how to send death.

"Yes, we will all leave Chang'an, Chang'an is too sad for me." Mrs. Sun said, crying with a whin.

After crying twice, she endured her grief and said, "The children are still young, let's go give them a ride." In addition, those of us who are parents and children want to pay homage to the 100,000 soldiers of our Sun family army who died in Yanmen Dai County nearby. As for when to come back? It can only be said that the return date has not been decided. ”

Mrs. Sun said, wiping the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

Xiao Qun heard it, this is a grudge against the emperor.

Mrs. Sun's words are false and true, true and false, there is anger when she is forced to the extreme, and there are compromises that you have to make......

There are just no flaws.

After Xiao Qun left, Old Taijun Sun sighed softly.

At this time, Wang Dong came over from the secluded guest house, "Old Taijun Sun, things are going well, and in two days, we will be able to leave Chang'an openly." ”

Mrs. Sun told him, "The more we come to the last moment, the more cautious we should be." ”

Wang Dong admired, sure enough, Jiang was still old and spicy, "That's okay, I'll do the final touches." ”

After Wang Dong left, Mrs. Sun stroked her chest, supported by her henchman, and slowly sat on the couch.

When the bad news came, she really felt like she couldn't breathe.

Not long after, Wang Dong came up and took out the token. After gaining her trust, he slowly told her about Pingzhou's plan. After listening to it, she agreed.

Now that the son and grandson have made their choice, it would be better for their grandson family to follow closely behind.

And Governor Lu has a saying that is very right, offense is the best defense. The emperor's reactions during this period all proved this.
