Lingnan Gang

After taking Qiongzhou, Wu Weiyang handed over the affairs of the capital to Mo Ziqi, and then led the army to fight in Yazhou. The situation in Yazhou is easier to deal with than Qiongzhou. First of all, the environment in Yazhou is not even comparable to Qinzhou and Qiongzhou In fact, the perennial disorder of law and order and famine caused the local people to complain, so Wu Weiyang only needed to add three meals a day and three copper coins a month to the recruitment notice, and he attracted many young and strong men. It was a small group of rogues, and it didn't make a difference at all. Wu Weiyang dragged an army of thousands of people along the roads of Yazhou. Suddenly expanded to 3000 people.

In addition to the expansion of the number of people, Wu Weiyang also seized a lot of material reserves, and loaded them to the direction of Qinzhou, waiting for them to meet with the soldiers left behind in Qinzhou, making the next step.

"With these three states, half of Lingnan Road will be in our hands." Su Beiqin said from the window of the carriage.

Now it is the beginning of spring, although the weather is still humid, but it is much warmer than before, the sun in the sky is somewhat warmer, so Wu Weiyang opened the curtain of the car, so that Subei Qinneng can be warmer.

"According to what the military adviser said, what should we do next?" Wu Weiyang asked nonchalantly, lying beside Su Beiqin with his feet up.

Su Beiqin looked at the material account in his hand, glanced at him, and said, "You can't understand it in your heart, why are you asking me again?"

Wu Weiyang immediately turned over and sat up, with a pure smile on his face, he abruptly leaned in front of Su Beiqin, occupying his entire line of sight, "I just want to hear you talk."

Apart from business matters, Su Beiqin really seldom talked to him, and even the usual greetings seemed very deliberate. It's not that Wu Weiyang didn't feel this, but he just ignored it on purpose. If it were someone else, Wu Weiyang would have been unwilling to talk to him. But who told him to like Su Beiqin, even if Su Beiqin pushed him away with a cold face, he still moved forward without hesitation. He looked frizzy on the surface, but in fact he was full of patience.

Su Beiqin flipped through the ledger in his hand silently, his expression was calm as usual, his dark pupils turned slowly, stayed on Wu Weiyang's face for a moment, and then returned to the ledger.

This is Su Beiqin's gesture of refusing to discuss this issue with him. Wu Weiyang raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction, and finally leaned helplessly on the other side of the car window to face Su Beiqin face to face. Now the things he can talk to Su Beiqin are limited to business matters , so Wu Weiyang can only lead the topic to the main topic, "The problem now is that we don't have a solid old nest."

The pure bandit tone made the corners of Subei Qin's mouth hooked. Although Wu Weiyang has developed in Qinzhou for several years, Qinzhou is still a small-scale point. The qualifications of a large army at the rear, when the battle line extends to the capital, according to the speed of the arrival of supplies, the supply of food and grass may not be enough, and such a long distance cannot guarantee that there will be no accidents, so they must choose a place with a good environment , as a transfer station for supplies.

Su Beiqin's slender fingers quickly slid across the black letters of the accounts, without raising his head, he asked, "Do you have something you like, General?"

Wu Weiyang propped his chin, and his eyes never moved away from Su Beiqin's face. Perhaps because of the warm sunlight, Su Beiqin's previous indifferent emotions melted away a lot. The dimples on his cheeks appeared, and the question was thrown away again. He went back, "Let this matter be decided by the military division."

Su Beiqin finally put down the ledger, took a look at the map on the side, and then pointed out the place to him, saying: "According to your request, this place is the most suitable place at present."

Wu Weiyang looked at the word Guangzhou on the map and raised his eyebrows. Indeed, no matter how you look at it, Guangzhou has become the best place for them to build a strong rear. Firstly, because Guangzhou has convenient transportation, in the future, there will be no other way to transport supplies besides land. They can take a more convenient waterway directly to the capital, and Guangzhou has close trade with other regions. In this way, it is not difficult for them to purchase anything. Secondly, they are more familiar with Guangzhou than the people in the capital. For a long distance, even if the capital wanted to send troops to recover in the future, they would have enough time to prepare before the soldiers arrived.

"As expected of a military adviser, you really have a good understanding with me. Since you like it, then let's take Guangzhou." Wu Weiyang laughed.

What a light sentence, it is as simple as dressing and eating, Su Beiqin rubbed his brows, and said tiredly: "What you said is simple, the soldier who guards the city, Zhou Guangcheng, is not a simple person, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to win this time."

Wu Weiyang touched his recently thinned cheek with distress and said: "No matter how difficult it is, as long as I worry about it is enough."

Su Beiqin was obviously taken aback, then avoided his hand and said: "I am worried about the monarch, otherwise what do you want me to do as a military advisor?"

Wu Weiyang frowned slightly and said: "You are not a courtier, you are the person I like, if you fell ill, I would not think that you have done your duty, but only feel distressed and blame yourself."

Su Beiqin didn't know what to say to answer him, the inexplicable feeling was accumulated in his chest, he took a few deep breaths and said: "The more you are like this, the more I don't know how to face you, so I will go back to the way I was before." Is the relationship bad?"

Wu Weiyang held his fingers, exposed to the sun for a long time, even the fingertips were warm, he was a little greedy for the warmth now, he put away his playful attitude, and calmly said: "You should understand that once you say something, you can't put it back Yes, as I said, I will wait for your reply, but it will take too long."

The grasped finger felt a little strange, and even his heart beat faster. Su Beiqin wanted to withdraw his hand, but Wu Weiyang's strength was too great. He didn't break away as usual. Apart from winning the capital and embracing you as emperor as soon as possible, I have never thought about anything else, let's put aside the love of children."

Wu Weiyang also imitated his appearance and sighed, his face was full of sadness, "I've waited for more than a month, and I'll just give you a blunt rejection."

Su Beiqin finally withdrew his hand, looked into Wu Weiyang's eyes and said, "You should have expected such an ending when you said it."

Wu Weiyang smiled again in an instant and said, "But you also understand me, how can I give up so easily."

Su Beiqin recalled that the reason why he chose Wu Weiyang to be his monarch at the beginning was partly because he admired Wu Weiyang's character of sticking to the end when he chose one thing. He suddenly felt very helpless, "If you spend your thoughts elsewhere, I will not So worried about you."

Wu Wei raised his sword eyebrows and continued to smile: "Military commander, you care about marching and fighting, and you also care about what the master thinks?"

Su Beiqin's eyes darkened, even the warm sunlight couldn't dispel the coldness in his eyes, "Naturally, I have to take care of it, I must ensure that the person I choose will become a good monarch who works hard and loves the people. But I will definitely do it, I think you are not the one who will break your promise."

Wu Weiyang liked Su Beiqin's feeling when he focused all his attention on himself. He lazily leaned back against the car window and said, "I have made many promises to people and then regretted it. You never break your promise, you are always careful, you should have discovered this a long time ago, Beiqin, I am indeed someone you can trust, if you are worried that my feelings for you are impulsive," Wu Weiyang's round eyes showed sharpness, straight Staring straight at Su Bei Qin said: "Then this kind of worry is unnecessary, I really really like you, it's not that I don't want to wait, it's just that the waiting time is too painful."

That voice was too firm, every word pierced his heart, Su Beiqin's chest was so stuffy that he couldn't breathe, his hands huddled in his sleeves even trembled a little, but his face still maintained his usual calm, but he was afraid that Wu Weiyang would see the clues and catch him Not letting go, he had no choice but to turn his face out of the window and stop talking to Wu Weiyang.Wu Weiyang scratched the back of his head, knowing that he was a little too hasty, but this outspoken personality could not be changed for a while.

The embarrassing situation between them lasted until they returned to Qinzhou. Zhuang Chu was quite satisfied with Wu Weiyang bringing back such supplies, "In this way, the general will not have to worry about food and grass for a long time at least."

Although it was already spring, Su Beiqin still wore more clothes than ordinary people because of his thin body. He leaned on the grand teacher's chair padded with animal skins, and after listening to Zhuang Chu's words, he said: "It is not enough to have food and grass, and there is still a shortage of people to use it." .”

Indeed, everything is ready, only talent is missing. For Wu Weiyang, the number of generals at hand is really limited, and sometimes he has to fight in small battles. Su Beiqin is really afraid that he will not be able to bear it. A leader like Wu Weiyang will fight at most. Sometimes he leads the troops personally, and the rest of the time he should sit in the rear to stabilize people's hearts. However, it is undeniable that the reason why Su Beiqin didn't want Wu Weiyang to go into battle frequently was because he was worried that he would be injured.

Wu Weiyang really had to get some good tea for Zhuang Chu, so Zhuang Chu couldn’t leave the black pot almost every day. Zhuang Chu took a sip from the spout of the black pot and said, “Remember the young general Wu Weiyang captured from Tang Shulin? ?”

"Of course I remember," Su Beiqin nodded and said, "I heard from Wu Weiyang that he is a brave man, has Mr. Zhuang persuaded him to join us?"

Zhuang Chu patted his chin with a handful of white beards and smiled triumphantly, and said, "Boy, it's just a few words and he obediently submits. Besides him, there is another person that you may never think of. .”

"Oh?" Su Beiqin rolled his eyes and asked in confusion, "Who?"

Zhuang Chu smiled slowly, "Bai Zixia."
