Gao Fenglin said:
"At this point, please rest assured, my uncle and General Yu are both in Luoyang at this time, they have made sufficient preparations, I believe that An Lushan and they will not easily break through Luoyang City. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Guo Ziyi said:
"Well, if you say that, I'm a little relieved, but it's hard to say about the Jiangnan region. ”
Ping Qing Yun Road:
"What do you mean ......?"
Guo Ziyi said:
"If An Lushan can't conquer Luoyang, then he will turn around and attack the Jiangnan region, Jianghuai is rich, and the tax supply accounts for most of the court's total taxes, even if An Lushan can't conquer the east and west, but it has laid down the towns in the south of the Yangtze River, and then the court will lose the taxes of Hebei and Jiangnan, and it is difficult to maintain long-term consumption only by Guanzhong and Guannei. ”
Ping Qing Yun Road:
"What do you mean, the Jiangnan region must not fall into the hands of An Lushan?"
Guo Ziyi said:
"That's right, the taxes of the imperial court are all accumulated in Jinling, and once Jinling falls, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”
While they were discussing, someone came to report, and Guo Ziyi went out, leaving Gao Fenglin and a few others. Gao Fenglin asked Ping Qingyun:
"What Uncle Shi said, every word is bloody, what do you say we should do?"
Ping Qingyun shook his head and said:
"The situation here is complicated, and I can't see through it alone, and I think this matter has to be decided by Lord Guo. ”
Zhang Xuan said suddenly:
"From Henan to Jiangnan, Xuzhou and Bozhou are the places that must be passed, so my uncle ......"
Thinking of Zhang Xun, Zhang Xuan naturally also thought of Lu Danyu, she should have returned to Zhenyuan County at this time, and suddenly, Zhang Xuan's thoughts about Lu Danyu instantly poured out. When the time comes, if there is really a war, Zhenyuan County will definitely be implicated in the war.
And Gao Fenglin naturally thought of Xuzhou, Xuzhou has been a place of four stations since ancient times, soldiers must fight, if An Lushan wants to attack Jiangnan, Xuzhou is just stuck in the throat.
Ping Qing Yun Road:
"If An Lushan can't conquer Luoyang and wants to attack Jiangnan, then from Beihe through Shandong, Xuzhou is a must-pass place, and this Xuzhou battle is inevitable. ”
"If Luoyang falls, then if you want to attack Luoyang, you will go south through Bianzhou and Bozhou, and cross the Huai River to Jinling. ”
Gao Fenglin said:
"In this way, no matter what, there will always be a place in Bozhou and Xuzhou that will be implicated in the war. ”
Ping Qingyun nodded.
Gao Fenglin said in his heart: "Luoyang is easy to defend and difficult to attack, An Lushan may not be able to conquer it, in this way, Xuzhou will definitely be his next target." Thinking of this, his heart couldn't help but pinch up, no matter which way it was, it was not what he wanted to see.
After a long time, Guo Ziyi came back, and everyone asked if it was An Lushan's military intelligence, Guo Ziyi shook his head and said to Ping Qingyun:
"It's a letter from your master. ”
As soon as he heard that it was his uncle's message, Ping Qingyun chuckled in his heart, could it be that something happened in Luoyang?
"What did my master say?"
Guo Ziyi said:
"This An Lushan really has some ability, we just talked about Jiangnan, and he has already sent people to Jiangnan first. ”
Gao Fenglin asked urgently:
"What's going on?"
Guo Ziyi said:
"On the way back to Luoyang from Hebei, your uncle met An Lushan's masters, and secretly followed them to Jiangnan, saying that they were secretly planning a big conspiracy in Jiangnan. ”
Gao Fenglin asked again:
"What about my uncle?
Guo Ziyi said:
"Brother Yu said in the letter that your uncle was besieged by several masters of the other party, but his life was not hindered, and he was now hiding in a secret place, but the stakes were very high, so he wrote to Brother Yu, and Brother Yu hurriedly wrote to me, as well as your master. ”
Ping Qing Yun Road:
"Then did my master tell me what happened in Jiangnan?"
Guo Ziyi said:
"The letter did not say anything, but only said that the matter was very important, and asked us to send people to investigate the big conspiracy planned by An Lushan in Jiangnan. ”
Guo Ziyi looked at the six people present, suddenly thought of something, and said:
"Fenglin, how about you go to Jiangnan with your two junior brothers and you?"
Everyone was stunned, and Gao Fenglin said:
"To Gangnam?"
Guo Ziyi said:
"Exactly. ”
Gao Fenglin said:
"Uncle Shi wants us to investigate the affairs of Jiangnan?"
Guo Ziyi said:
"Fenglin, you come with me, I have a few words to say to you. ”
With that, Guo Ziyi took Gao Fenglin to the inner hall, leaving the rest outside.
After entering the inner hall, Gao Fenglin asked:
"Uncle Shi, what can't you say in front of my junior brother?"
Guo Ziyi said:
"Fenglin, the current situation is critical, all the people around me have been sent out, I have already placed heavy troops on several checkpoints in the pass, and he An Lushan can't cross the thunder pool by half a step. It's just that the troops around me are limited, and I don't have any henchmen to send to Jiangnan, this time your master will definitely send your junior brother to Jiangnan, and when the time comes, you must find out what conspiracy An Lushan has after you meet in Jiangnan. ”
Gao Fenglin said:
"Uncle Shi, do you have to carry a few of them on your back in this matter?"
Guo Ziyi was silent for a long time and said:
"There's one more thing I want you to do. ”
Gao Fenglin asked:
"What's the matter?"
Guo Ziyi said:
"Your senior brother Lin Zhengyun has a lot of prestige in the Jingxiang area, and there is no big faction in Jingxiang except for your senior brother. However, there are many sects in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and there are also many disputes in the east and west of the Yangtze River. ”
Gao Fenglin was shocked:
"Alliance leader, rebels?"
Guo Ziyi said:
"That's right, once you establish your own power in Jiangnan, then An Lushan's attack on Jiangnan will be blocked, as long as you delay enough time, we have a greater hope of victory. ”
Gao Fenglin asked again:
"What about Zoroastrianism?"
Guo Ziyi said:
"In addition to the Zoroastrian in the east and west of the two capitals, there are also many branches secretly suggested in Jiangnan, you go to Jiangnan this time, there must be a lot of conflicts with Zoroastrianism, once you inhibit its development in Jiangnan, it is bound to have a heavier blow to An Lushan's plan. ”
Gao Fenglin gasped and asked:
"Uncle Shi, I am weak by nature, and I actually don't have much interest in this kind of thing as the leader of the martial arts alliance, as for the formation of the rebel army, I think Ping Qingyun is more suitable than me. ”
Guo Ziyi said:
"Qingyun is certainly good at fighting, but after all, the war will not spread to Jiangnan for a while and a half, and what you have to do is to take the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance before An Lushan attacks Jiangnan. ”
Gao Fenglin was already puzzled:
"Uncle Shi, you always say that the leader of the martial arts alliance, how should I be the leader of this alliance, the Jiangnan martial arts is so big, is it possible that I will come to the door one by one and say, I want to be the leader of the alliance?"
Guo Ziyi smiled slightly and said:
"You can rest assured in this matter, I have been informed that next month, that is, on October 15, there will be a hero's banquet in Jinling, and at that time, the banquet will be elected as the leader of the alliance to lead the Jiangnan martial arts. ”
Gao Fenglin said:
"Okay, why do you suddenly hold a hero's banquet and elect an alliance leader?"
Guo Ziyi said:
"As I just said, Jiangnan martial arts, the dragons have no leader, in recent years, there have been constant disputes between various sects, this time by the old hero of Jinling Yang came forward, held a banquet in his Feihe Villa, mediated the grievances of the various factions, and just elected an alliance leader to lead Jiangnan, regulate the contradictions of the various factions, and avoid unnecessary grievances and vendettas in the future. ”
Looking at Gao Fenglin's embarrassed look, Guo Ziyi said again:
"I know you're a little embarrassed, but this matter is a matter for everyone, and I hope you think about it. ”
Gao Fenglin nodded, his eyes looked out of the window, and he was in a daze. (To be continued.) )
