Royal road

In the hall, Pei Dun's complexion was not very good-looking either.He worked so hard all the way from Luoyang to Bingzhou, not to bargain with a newly appointed governor.

Suppressing his unhappiness, he said, "General Linghu."

Even if Liang Zixi disagrees with the use of troops, he will not stop there.Since Liu Yuan settled down in Pingyang, he began to attack the surrounding area.Chang'an was taken down before, and before the imperial court sent troops to encircle and suppress, they counterattacked Feng Yi again.Pingyang and Feng Yi have fallen one after another, and Hedong is in danger!The imperial court is busy attacking the false emperor Sima Ying, where can there be soldiers to rescue him?

Others can see death without saving them, but Pei Dun can't sit idly by.That is the foundation of the Pei family!Now only the Pei family is powerful in Hedong, and the Wei family in Anyi almost lost their entire family due to the post-Jia rebellion.Although the brothers Wei Yu and Wei Jie are very famous, the military power of the Wei family has long since fallen by the wayside.The Wuqiu family must have its appearance, because it is actually a hollow and rotten tree.If Liu Yuan comes to commit a crime, who can stop him? !

Therefore, Pei Dun invited the governor himself to go out of the town and state.Only by leading troops to attack Lishi can it be possible to encircle Wei and save Zhao and relieve the crisis in Hedong.This soldier, he will definitely come out!Moreover, after Lishi was captured, wouldn't Bingzhou also get rid of the threat of the Huns?Maybe even Jingling and other cities can be taken back.This Liang Zixi is really too cowardly and pedantic!

"The last general, Linghu Sheng, is meeting with the governor!" The gray-bearded veteran walked into the inner hall step by step.

"General Linghu, you don't need to be too polite." Pei Dun calmed down a little, and said, "You are the leader of the Jinyang army, and I called you today because I have military affairs."

Let's talk about military affairs right away?Linghu Sheng's heart skipped a beat.He also knew that Shijun Liang would come to see him today, but he didn't expect that he left in a hurry after only staying for a while.Did the two have any quarrel?What kind of military affairs should be ordered the next day after entering the city?

Pei Dun didn't give Linghusheng time to think: "Now that Qi County has been restored, the remnants of the Xiongnu have retreated to the west of Jingling, and the army's morale is scattered. In addition to the great shortage of Lishi and the shortage of food supply, now is a good time to raise troops! Gather an army within a few days and attack Lishi!"

Linghu Sheng's face changed suddenly: "You can't be the governor! Now Jinyang's garrison is only [-], and the [-] army did not break through Lishi, let alone now..."

Pei Dun interrupted his words: "At the beginning, the situation was different, so how can we say the same thing. If we can't take advantage of the victory and pursue the attack, wouldn't it be troublesome when the Xiongnu recover? If there are not enough soldiers, then recruit some good men Enlist in the army and be rewarded for your merits after victory."

Recruiting good people? !Linghu Sheng's expression became even uglier.Nowadays, all soldiers have military households, called "shijia", and these talents are the main source of soldiers.It's not that there is no such thing as forcing civilians to join the army, but it's not good to say it, and more importantly, the soldiers recruited in this way are often very weak in fighting will, and they will collapse at the touch of a button.Where can it be used for combat?

"Captain, it's unreasonable to forcefully recruit good people. It's even more inappropriate to directly drag them into the battlefield. Now that Jinyang has been settled, and the Xiongnu has died down, it's better to take advantage of this time to practice cultivation until next year..."

Before Linghu Sheng finished speaking, Pei Dun slammed his palm on the table: "Are you going to violate the military order?!"

Linghu Sheng's voice stopped abruptly.Of course he couldn't resist.This is the governor of Bingzhou appointed by the imperial court, and the generals and soldiers under the jurisdiction of Bingzhou must be dispatched by him.When Sima Teng was appointed governor back then, didn't they still send troops as soon as they said they would send troops? Could it be that they could stop them?

Pei Dun saw that Linghu was silent, so he snorted coldly: "I will also accompany the army to supervise the battle this time. I heard that your nephew was the one who made the first contribution to the capture of Qi County. This time in the Chinese army, let him accompany you."

This is a kind of favor and win over. At any time, the Chinese army is always the most trusted by the coach.Linghu Kuang's position is not high, it is really rare to have such an honor.If it is true that Lishi was captured in one fell swoop, the contribution of the Chinese military officer is even greater.But Linghu Sheng didn't feel the slightest joy in his heart, and after a while, he said in a low voice: "The conscription, please think twice..."

Unexpectedly, Linghu Sheng would be so stubborn, Pei Dun's face was as cold as frost: "Didn't Liang Zixi also organize civilians into soldiers? Could it be that you think I don't know?"

Linghu Sheng said with difficulty: "The governor of Liang used troops to garrison troops, and they can only guard the land..."

"Wei Wu's garrison was the predecessor of Binghu! The situation is critical now. Isn't attacking Lishi defending the territory of Taiyuan? I see that there are still many refugees outside the city. If General Linghu feels embarrassed, I can order others to come forward." go!"

There was a coldness in Pei Dun's voice, Linghu Sheng was silent for a moment, and finally bent down: "The last general...takes orders."

If he goes, maybe he can discuss countermeasures with Governor Liang.If it was someone else, who would care about the lives of the people?

Seeing that Linghu Sheng was subdued, Pei Dun waved his hand coldly: "You go. Gather the troops as soon as possible, and send troops to Lishi!"

In front of Linghu Sheng, he retreated silently, and Chief Shi Liuzai, who had been standing beside him, said softly: "I didn't expect that there are so many difficult people in Bingzhou. General, I'm afraid this battle will take some effort."

Liu Zai was also from Jiyin. Although his family status was far inferior to that of the Pei family, he was good at flattering and strategizing, so Pei Dun valued him and promoted him to be a long history.Since he is a confidant, he naturally knows what his general is thinking now.

Sure enough, Pei Dun's expression became more and more displeased: "Jinyang is full of arsenals now, and there is no shortage of military rations. These people are still pushing back and forth, and they really don't care about the court!"

With the big hat of "everyone can kill", can anyone bear it?Liu Zai coughed lightly: "I'm afraid it's these Bingzhou troops who are still thinking about self-defense, so why would they be willing to serve the general? But then again, there are some troops stationed in the Shangdang now. Although Governor Liang has a stubborn temper, it's not completely unreasonable. How about Knowing the truth, with the help of this person, it is only possible to conquer Lishi..."

"Know it with reason?" Pei Dun frowned.

Liu Zai only said two words: "Yanchi."

Hearing these two words, Pei Dun's expression eased a little: "Liu Changshi is right, let Xue Ren go through it."

Seeing Yiyan supporting Liang Feng back to the mansion, Duan Qin felt bad: "My lord, why did you go back to the mansion so soon? But what happened?"

How long has it been?And even though Liang Feng was weak, he rarely let him help him. What happened today?

"Pei Dudu wants to attack Lishi to break the siege of Hedong!" Liang Feng walked towards the inner hall without stopping.

"What?!" In just a moment, Duan Qin guessed the whole story.Didn't Pei Hedong want to help his family?It's just that the current situation in Jinyang, how can it stand the twists and turns?The refugees have not been resettled properly, and the army is on the rise again, what should we do with winter plowing?What should Baibu Xianbei, who is guarding Xinxing County, do?

"We have to find a way to make the nobles of Bingzhou stand on the side of the lord!" Duan Qin blurted out.

Liang Feng did not refute, and with Yiyan's support, he stepped into the inner hall and leaned on the hidden table: "Call your grandson to come and see me."

Sun Li is a good heir of the Sun family, but after all, he is also a member of the Sun family in Taiyuan.It's better to let some wind out of his mouth, let the gentry of Bingzhou know what the new governor's heart is.These people have experienced wars and military disasters. If the imperial court raises troops for the overall situation, they can barely tolerate it.If people with the same surname are for their own family, it will offend their interests.Even if Pei Dun is the brother-in-law of the King of the East China Sea, they still have to weigh whether or not to follow orders.

With hesitation, there is a point where he can cut in.Adding fuel to the flames may not fail to win people's hearts.

Soon, Sun Li rushed over from the official office.Suddenly promoted, this self-denying young man has become more serious, with an upright appearance that does not allow for the slightest mistake.Seeing Liang Feng, he bowed respectfully and said, "I don't know why the envoy called the next official?"

"Today I went to the Dudu's Mansion and talked with Dudu Pei about something." Liang Feng said in a deep voice, "Dudu Pei intends to attack Lishi and drive out the remnants of the Xiongnu."

Sun Li was shocked: "This is not appropriate."

How wrong!Now is not the time to raise troops.Jinyang City, which had finally settled down, was about to fall into chaos again.Why is Dudu Pei so hasty? !

"I also persuaded him, but the governor is from Hedong, how can he retreat a bit in the current situation?" Liang Feng pointed out the reason directly without hiding it.

Sun Li's eyebrows frowned immediately.This battle is to understand the siege of Hedong? !How unreasonable!Could Bingzhou be Pei Dun's pawn? !

Seeing Sun Li's expression, Liang Feng knew that he understood what he meant: "This matter is very important, how can I be hasty? But I am new to Jinyang, my foundation is not stable, and I need help from others..."

Wen Xian knew the elegant meaning, Sun Li nodded and said: "Your Majesty is dedicated to calming the chaos, calming the people and appeasing the people, everyone knows about it. The affairs of the state should be handed over to a capable minister like the Messenger. I will go down now and invite people to talk. .”

He didn't mention the distinction between military and political affairs, but only said that the state affairs should be handled by Liang Feng.Hearing Sun Li's words, Liang Feng breathed a sigh of relief: "Then please don't drive away. Si Ruo, these few days, you also stay by Bie Jia's side and help carefully."

Duan Qin is Liang Feng's confidant and can represent his will.With Duan Qin by his side, Sun Li's persuasive power would naturally be stronger.The two immediately took orders and retreated.

It wasn't until this moment that Liang Feng's tense nerves relaxed slightly, and he realized that his hands were trembling a little.I don't know if I just held it too hard?Hiding his hands in his sleeves as if to cover up, Liang Feng raised his head and looked at Yiyan standing beside him.There was still anger on that person's face that hadn't dissipated, and a pair of gray-blue eyes were tightly locked on him, and there was something in his expression that made people fascinated.

"Boyuan, you are the leader of the army, you can't be reckless at this time." Liang Feng couldn't help but said.

Yiyan knelt down in front of him: "The final general will follow the master's arrangement."

No matter how angry and anxious, Yiyan never forgot what the lord taught him in the first place.In politics, soldiers are never allowed to get involved, and obeying orders is his bounden duty.

Looking at the man's extremely resolute expression, Liang Feng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "It's good that you know. Go back to the camp first, and settle down the soldiers. You should also pay close attention to the reactions of Li Jun and the others."

The aristocratic family wants to contact, and the army also needs to test their tone.It seems that we need to get in touch with Linghu Sheng as soon as possible.

However, unexpectedly, before others were convinced, a lobbyist came to the governor's residence.
