"Yes, General!" the guards at the gate rushed to Fan Jun after hearing the order, holding weapons to drive away. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Stop!" someone behind him stopped him.

The guards stopped, and a carriage was slowly approaching the palace gate, and a general lifted the curtain on the car and shouted at the guards. When the carriage had come to a standstill, he stepped out of it. When these soldiers guarding the city gate saw him, they hurriedly let go of Fan Jun.

"Why do you want to beat people?" the general, who came by car without riding a horse, looked coldly at the people in front of the door and shouted in a deep voice.

"It turned out to be Brother Huaiwen, I didn't expect you to come to congratulate the saint on his birthday. When He Zheng saw the person in front of him, he was stunned in his heart, and said that this Wei Rui has been unwell in recent years, and he can't even get out of bed, how can he come to celebrate the emperor's birthday like a good person today? He Zheng naturally knows that this Wei Rui's name in the army is much bigger than himself, he is only a general at best, and this Wei Rui in front of him is the "Wei Hu" that the enemy is afraid of. Thinking of this, he hurriedly put on a smile and stepped forward to say hello.

"General He is not harmed? Since the farewell two years ago, General He has become more and more prestigious. The general slowly stepped forward and bowed his hand to He Zheng.

"Where do I have General Wei's majesty, General Wei's victories in the early years, that is well known to everyone, like thunder!" He Zheng is naturally obedient and obedient, this Wei Rui must be dissatisfied with what he did just now, but he can't blame him face-to-face, but he doesn't want to make more trouble at this time, so he can only understand and pretend not to understand.

Wei Rui smiled slightly: "General He has won the award, but I, Wei Huaiwen, can't compare to you General He, you don't have to be humble here." It would have been a good thing for you and me to come together to celebrate the emperor's birthday, but I don't know why the Lord drove this person away?"

"This person said that he was going to go in to find someone, how could he enter this palace if he wanted to?"

"Who are you?" Wei Rui turned his head, looked at Fan Jun, and asked.

"In Xia Fan Jun, my father Fan Yuncheng wanted to go in to see his father because of an urgent matter at home. Fan Jun gave a deep salute, "Because I was anxious and did things improperly, I still hope for General Haihan." ”

"Fan Yuncheng?" Wei Rui frowned slightly, the emperor ordered him to serve as the assassin of Yongzhou, because he has been unwell, on the way to Yongzhou more than a month ago, due to the recurrence of the old disease, he stayed in Yongzhou for more than half a month, and his body was slightly better and rushed back to the capital, and he did not investigate the affairs of Yongzhou in detail. But many affairs in Yongzhou, every day Yongzhou Tongzhi is constantly sent to his own house, what happened in Yongzhou, he naturally knows clearly, the tragedy that Lord Zhang Yuanzhi's whole family encountered, that Fan Yuncheng is responsible for this incident, he is already clear in his chest, for this Fan Yuncheng, the day after he took office, he suffered this change, regret but also sorry for him, his wife is the only daughter of the Lord Zhang Yuanzhi, and the pain that the two of them have to bear is more than ordinary people.

With a wave of General Wei Rui's hand, the soldiers guarding the gate dispersed and let them pass.

When he walked into the palace gate, he saw that Fan Jun was still stunned, so he shouted: "Fan Jun, if you still want to go to the palace to find your father, now is an opportunity, don't go with us at this time, I'm afraid there will be no chance to enter the palace again." ”

Fan Jun didn't think much about it, raised his legs and followed him in. Along the way, he wanted to ask the general's honorific name, but the general strode forward, and he had to follow.

"General Wei, General He, your two positions are here, please come with me. The retinue saw the two generals coming with their retinue and hurriedly greeted them.

When they were walking forward, He Zheng suddenly saw the sixth prince Xiao Hong standing coldly in front of him, he felt a sudden shock in his heart, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "Prince, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you well?"

"General He, it's been a few days since you entered Beijing, why don't you come to my mansion to sit down?" Xiao Hong said with something in his words.

"Lord Wang, you don't know, I've been busy in Beijing for a few days, and the emperor has issued me another holy decree, and it won't be long before I have to send troops to fight. He Zheng hurriedly explained.

"Do you know that the person who recommended you is the prince and me. Xiao Hongpi said with a smile.

"If that's the case, I want to thank the prince. He Zheng slowly approached Xiao Hong and said in a low voice, "I found a Buddha statue made of real gold from Liangcheng, which is extremely exquisite, and I will send it to the prince's mansion in a few days, what do you think?"

Xiao Hong changed his face and showed a very satisfied smile: "I, Xiao Hong, still welcome General He to drink tea at home, I must go when I have time, I must go!"

Wei Rui stood aside coldly, watching the two of them perform hypocritically, feeling extremely shameful, but it was inconvenient to attack, so he could only pull Fan Jun's sleeve and let him follow him forward.

Fan Jun looked around anxiously, but he never saw his father's shadow, he was uneasy in his heart, and he didn't know where the disobedient little brother was?

"Master Fan, don't sit down quickly. He Zheng pulled Fan Jun's sleeve and motioned for him to sit beside him.

Fan Jun was extremely uneasy in his heart, General Wei, who brought him in, smiled at him slightly, and motioned for him to sit between himself and He Zheng, Fan Jun hesitated, but he also had to sit down. Wei Rui looked at him carefully, although this Fan Jun was uneasy at this time, but since he sat down, he slowly calmed down, Wei Rui nodded secretly, this young man can sit between the two generals so calmly without panic, this person will definitely have great achievements in the future, thinking of this, he has a good impression of this Fan Jun, Pingkong.

At this time, He Zheng was looking coldly at Emperor Wu of Liang on the palace, the current emperor is nearly fifty years old, because he has believed in Buddhism for nearly ten years, and he eats fasting and recites scriptures every day, but he also has a feeling of fairy wind and bones. This person is very fond of his brothers and relatives, but he is extremely stingy with his ministers, so for a long time, those imperial relatives who were spoiled by him, but there are few righteous gentlemen, bullying men and women every day, just doing something despicable, but this Emperor Wu of Liang will only favor his shortcomings, and the ministers above the court are reprimanded by the emperor when they admonish, and over time, no one plays, and those imperial relatives are even more powerful and blessed, and they cannot be a lifetime.

At the same time, on the main hall of Pingcheng, the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Yuan Ke was still immersed in the excitement of the great victory of Yiyang a few days ago, and he had been hinting at Xingluan in Daxingtai these days, asking him to propose the matter of the southern expedition to destroy Liang. It's just that for some reason, this Lord Xing Luan Xing is quite a bit reluctant these days, and he is always avoidable when he asks him about things.

"Ladies and gentlemen, a few days ago, Lianlian proposed to destroy Liang in the south again, I don't know what your opinions are?" Yuan Ke couldn't help but ask.

"Your Majesty, as long as you give me 300,000 iron horses, I will surely sweep the Southern Liang Prefectures. "Yuan Ying is on the rise, and he can't hear the emperor mention this matter, but he is bent on taking down Nanliang at this time.

"General Yuan, this is in line with the joint intentions, and I will order General Yang Dayan to join forces with your soldiers, and we will definitely assign the prefectures and counties under the rule of Xiao Yan of Southern Liang to my Great Wei in the territory. ”

"The last general obeys!" Yuan Ying commanded in a loud voice.

"Lord Xing, Lord Xing, you are the great platform of my Great Wei, and now that General Yuan Ying has been ordered to go to the battle, how to arrange the troops, you have to rely on your great platform to give advice......" Yuan Ke couldn't help but feel unhappy when he saw that Xing Luan still looked absent-minded.

Xing Luan heard the emperor's words with displeasure, and then came back to his senses: "Your Majesty, if General Yuan and General Yang send troops to the southern expedition, the first obstacle they encounter is that Liangcheng and Zhongli, and that Liangcheng is just back, but this Zhongli City, there is a dangerous Huaishui in front of it, which has become a natural defense barrier, if you want to take Zhongli City in one fell swoop, Weichen proposes to bypass Zhongli and find a way to break through from the rear of Zhongli......"

"Hmph, Lord Xing, I miss my Great Wei, most of them are cavalry, and they want us to bypass Zhongli and go south, one is not suitable for water and soil, and the other is to cross the Huaishui across the horse, but people are just that, this horse will not be able to pass the water so easily." "Yuan Ying thought of avoiding Zhongli and making a detour, when he would break through Zhongli City, it was unknown, according to his temperament, he could take Liang Cheng and Zhongli City in just a few months, and take advantage of the morale to increase his morale in one go, break through the Southern Liang Prefectures, and hit Jiankang City directly.

After hearing this, Yu Shi Cui Liang sneered: "Lord Xing has grown older in the past few years, but this courage is getting smaller and smaller, thinking that Nanliang has a vast territory, but no one can get up to meet General Yuan, and now that you say this, you are not afraid of the useless people under Xiao Yan." ”

"Master Cui, although Nanliang has lost one after another in recent years, it does not mean that Nanliang does not have generals who can lead troops to fight, think that Cao Jingzong, although he has lost the confrontation with General Yuan recently, but his strength has not really been damaged, and the morale of his generals and soldiers has not declined. If you face it head-on, you won't necessarily be able to win. Although Xing Luan was reluctant to talk to him, this matter was related to the national fortunes of Wei, and he had to brace himself to make this matter clear.

"Lord Xing, listening to your words seems to be growing the majesty of the Southern Liang and destroying the morale of my Great Wei Land. Lu Chang, who had not spoken all this time, took the opportunity to add a sentence at this time, which made Yuan Ke, who was originally elated, his face slowly sank.

"Emperor, I, Xing Luan, am here today to say this, by no means to grow the ambition of others, think that Nanliang, there are not a few people who can lead troops to fight, as far as I know, the generals Cao Jingzong, Wang Huaijing, He Zheng, are all people who can lead troops in Nanliang. Now it is Chang Yizhi who is stationed in Liangcheng, and Chang Yizhi is a fierce general of Southern Liang, who is brave and resourceful in battle, and has to guard against ......."

"These are not to be feared at all, I, Yuanying, have never looked at this cadre and so on. Yuan Ying interrupted Xing Luan's words with some unhappiness.

"General Yuan, I haven't finished speaking yet, if you really lead the troops there, one person has to be guarded. "Xing Luan must say what is in his heart today, he is not afraid of anyone to stop him, he just wants Yuan Ying not to be careless and ignore this person.

"Who can fight against my Yuan Ying? Lord Xing, I have fought with Nanliang for so many years, and I have never encountered an opponent. Yuan Ying shouted loudly.

"Wei Rui, General of Southern Liang and Northern Liang!" Xing Luan also said loudly.

After Xing Luan told this person's name, the hall suddenly became quiet, Yuan Ke rarely heard this person's name, but looked at his civil and military officials in confusion, why he heard this person's name, he didn't say a word.

"Who is this Wei Rui, why haven't I heard of him?" Yuan Ke hurriedly asked Xing Luan.

"Your Majesty...... This Wei Rui is the general of Southern Liang, and in the past, Xiao Yan relied on the most Cao Jingzong and Wei Rui, two tiger generals. I recently had a report from Malay, he has been named the general of Pingbei by the emperor, and the history of Yongzhou assassination, this person because of his weak health, these five or six years have been recuperating at home, there has been no record, so the emperor is not familiar with this person, and he knows very little about this person's past achievements. And I, Xing Luan, met him several times on the battlefield in my early years...... This person has excellent arm strength, a good feather arrow in one hand, and is strategic, thoughtful, this battlefield fights, three points in the fight and seven points in the plot. Your Majesty, if Xiao Yan doesn't want to use him, why would he be named General Pingbei, the word Pingbei has a deep meaning. As soon as Xing Luan thought of that Wei Rui, he felt a chill in his heart, this person must not be despised by any means.

"In this way, Wei Rui is much more powerful than Cao Jingzong?" Yuan Ke also frowned, at this time, Xing Luan's words were the ones he liked to hear the most, but he had to listen to them, after all, this Xing Luan's foresight was something he would never have.

"In terms of leading troops to fight, then Wei Rui is not as good as Cao Jingzong, if it is about strategizing and winning a thousand miles, then Wei Rui is still far superior to Cao Jingzong. ”

At this time, Yuan Ying had been silently listening to Xing Luan's every word, he was not like other civil and military officials at this time, he was not high-spirited, and he wanted to take Nanliang with all his heart. This Xing Luan is more than ten years older than him, and he has experienced more battles than him, so the situation of the generals of Nanliang is naturally clearer than himself. Especially Wei Rui, whom Xing Luan just mentioned, was a general he had never confronted head-on, and he had heard many stories about this Wei Rui before that, and his superb archery skills had made the enemy in front of him feel frightened and lose his fighting spirit when they heard the sound of his bowstring. is also a general who ranks among the ministers, if he can confront this person head-to-head once in this life, he will be divided into high and low, and it will not be in vain in his career as a horse in this life.

This Lord Xing retreated vigorously, and General Yuan over there didn't say a word. I can't imagine that the two generals of my Wei State can rely on him are so tacit in this matter......"

Just when the people above the hall were silent, Cui Liang's words that were neither yin nor yang made the people in the whole hall suddenly shocked.
