"Now that the war is coming, as my uncle looks at it...what are the chances of winning? Furthermore, can this battle follow the story of Li's family back then? Is it intended to be in Xijing?"
The uncle and nephew talked for a long time, and both learned a lot. When the sky was getting dark, Pei Xu finally asked his uncle for advice on the current war.
Patience is not bad, which is naturally something worthy of admiration. Pei Shiqing knows that his nephew has little interest in war. In other words, his talent does not lie in fighting.
According to the standards of talents in this era, Pei Xu is not considered a man of ambition. The so-called general and minister have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even if people in Jin are more scholarly, it is inevitable.
For example, Pei Renji and his son were known as famous generals, and both Pei Ju and Pei Yun had the experience of leading troops in front of the enemy and had made many achievements.
Unfortunately, Pei Renji and Pei Yun are now dead, and Pei Ju is living in Hebei. Therefore, Pei Shiqing's generation, except for those branch clansmen in the south of the Yangtze River who don't know what their current situation is, has gradually declined. The future of the Pei family is still unclear. The actions of Pei Xu and other young disciples.
In fact, Pei Xu inherited the lineage of his great uncle Pei Zheng, who attacked criminal law.
As for Pei Ji's branch, it is not in Pei Shi's reckoning at all now. In Pei Shiqing's view, what his cousin did is of no benefit to the country or the family. If the main branch of the Wenxi Pei family gets too close to him, , sooner or later you will be tired of it.
After thinking for a moment, Pei Shiqing smiled and said: "There may be some setbacks in this battle, so it is not appropriate to run in front of the formation..."
He was not optimistic about the outcome of this battle, and he had nothing to hide from his nephew, and he did not want his nephew, who was indifferent to war, to run in front of the two armies.
As expected, Pei Xu immediately asked: "Why is this? Please ask your uncle for advice."
"This time is very different from when Tang Gong went south. The natural chasm of the Yellow River is difficult to cross. This is first and secondly. Even if you cross the river, it will be difficult to easily pull out the fortified city of Chang'an...
And there are Li Gui and Liang Shidu in the west, Wang Shichong in the east, and Xiao Mian in the south. They are all eyeing Guanzhong. Once their troops arrive at the gate of Xijing, they will be in danger of marrying someone else."
"I think the general manager has far-reaching plans, and there should be more than this. However, Xijing is very close, so it is urgent. I have sent a message to Jinyang and asked the people close to the general manager to persuade me. It should be okay..."
So and so, I have said a lot, but in fact it is just one thing. Xijing is too tempting. This battle is already on the string and has to be launched, but it should be done. The Pei clan has just surrendered and cannot persuade Li Ding'an, but he has already The final result of spreading the letter to Jinyang people and others is unknown.
The uncle and nephew were speechless for a while, staring at each other with their hearts changing.
When the sky was dimming, Pei Xuhe led the servants out of the county mansion through a small door like a thief, and went back to their lodgings.
Along the way, Pei Xu was both happy and worried.
Fortunately, according to what his uncle said, there is no need to think about going to the two armies to perform meritorious service. And it just so happens that, in his opinion, Yuan Youwu is not a person who is eager to perform meritorious service, and is very different from other Kansai people.
I was very upset about this before, but isn't it just right now?
But then again, he himself probably has a much longer road ahead.
Originally, he wanted to mention to his uncle that the manager had a girl in her prime, right...
In the end, he didn't say this, not because he was embarrassed, but because he understood from his uncle that Mr. Pei still had a dissociated mind, so naturally he would not marry anyone.
Apart from talking about his own family, who has a lot of trust in Mr. Pei, is he willing to marry his sister to Mr. Pei's son?
In short, the time has not come yet...
In fact, his feelings were similar to those when Pei Ji went to Wenxi's old house. Pei Shiqing was considering the Pei family wholeheartedly, but gradually he had many conflicts with the wishes of these Pei's children who had official positions abroad.
.
Pei Ji has a high seniority and a dangerous position, so naturally he is full of complaints. If he is given time and opportunity, he might be able to seize the position of leader of the Pei family.
As for Pei Xu, naturally he couldn't compare with Pei Ji. Not to mention the difference in seniority and official position, naturally there wouldn't be so much resentment and he could only follow his uncle's wishes.
……………………
Not to mention what happened to Pei Xu, Yuen Youwu of Yuen Long, whom he was full of "cares about", actually stepped into the county gate with him.
Pei Xu chose to come to the county house in the middle of the night because he didn't want his whereabouts to be exposed to too many people. What Yuan Youwu wanted was that even if he was beaten, he should choose a time when there were fewer people.
Moreover, I also want to let my brother-in-law know. Look, I have just come to Jiangjun to pay you a visit. I miss you so much. Could you please...beat me more lightly...
Well, such a small-mindedness is obviously Li Po's style, and it is obviously the result of being close to black people when he was young.
Unfortunately, just like his horse-raising skills, he only learned the basics...
Li Po was woken up by someone as soon as he fell asleep. He saw Yuen Long in a pavilion in the county government. After rejecting the rest of the crowd, Li Po, who was angry about getting out of bed, patted Yuen Long on the head and taught him a lesson.
I took pictures of Yuen Long until stars appeared in my eyes, and I was about to fall to the ground when I was swaying.
In fact, Yuen Long made a mistake again. The reason why Li Bi, who was in Jinyang, was so furious was because Yuen Long was her relative. Besides being strict with himself, he also hated iron but could not make steel, so he punished Yuen Long severely.
Mostly it was made for the husband and even his subordinates to see.
As for Li Po, as Yuen Long's brother-in-law, he still had the friendship from back then. When Yuen Long made some small mistakes, he would only be annoyed for a while, and then he would let it go. Even when he saw a letter from his wife, he would deal with it in this way.
Seriously, I feel somewhat guilty about Yuen Long.
After all, Yuen Long and his son were really good to their brother and sister in Mayi County.
Moreover, the most important point is that although Yuen Long is holding back, he has no rebellious intentions. This is something that everyone knows very well.
Just one sentence to prevent trouble before it happens...it's obviously just a side note of suspicion.
It actually didn't take a lot of effort to understand this. Li Po was already very smart, but it made him feel very uncomfortable. Since when did he start to doubt that such words could be used on him?
Well, in other words, after Li Po reflected on himself, he was no longer angry.
Moreover, he was feeling dizzy now that he was busy with everything. If he had to compete with his relatives, he felt that he might lose many years of his life.
In fact, being able to see Yuen Long in Jiangjun should have been a small and happy event. After so many years, I have made friends with several people in Mayi County.
Li Bi became his wife, Cheng Cheng Zhijie still followed the old track and became a bandit leader, and the old man followed Li Jing back to Chang'an. He must be living a very uncomfortable life now, and it seems that it was because of his own involvement.
And what will happen if Li Po can no longer take good care of the son he left in Jin?
But Yuen Long really stood in front of him. Seeing Yuen Long's dazed look, and remembering that this boy had lost the wonderful life in the north that he even envied, Li Po was really angry.
Find a place.
Born in the midst of blessings but unaware of blessings, this is Yuen Long, Yuen Youwu.
When the two of them sat down, looking at Yuen Long shaking his increasingly bigger head and dropping the golden beans in grievance, Li Po felt angry and funny. He couldn't help but think of the time he spent in Mayi County Mansion.
The days when Yuen Long was beaten with fists, feet and sticks by the elders.
Thinking of the old days, Li Po softened his heart, but when the words came to his lips, when he spat them out, according to his habit, they didn't sound so nice.
"When I was in Mayi, I didn't see you looking so useless. What's the matter? After being an official for several years, you got more and more active and returned home? If the man is in tears and doesn't say this lightly, is it possible for you to just feed him?
"
"This is not caused by meeting my brother..."
Yeah, they have really made a lot of progress. The words sound quite disgusting, but they are really comfortable to listen to. Moreover, the two of them have indeed not seen each other for two or three years...
Yuen Long sniffed, wiped his face, and grinned, but he was affectionate but rather shy, "When I was in Mayi, I often listened to my grandfather's teachings. Now my grandfather is far away in Chang'an. I don't know when we can see each other... Come...
I was worried when I came to my brother's place, but after being taught a lesson for a long time, it turned out to be... so... hehe..."
Li Po was astonished after hearing these few words. He didn't think he had improved at all. He had become a master. It was nothing to reminisce about old friendships. Maybe it would not be easy to get to the point.
At first, the old man was so irritable that he seemed to have reached menopause. He would hit and scold his son. Even Li Po, who was watching and listening, felt a little chill in his back.
At this time, talking about those years, Li Po also felt warm in his heart. Those days were really good, and people said that there was a beginning and an end. He had not learned a lesson for many years. This was a bit "itchy".
Maybe he is still implying that there are not many people who can teach him such a lesson nowadays. Can you handle his admiration?
Not surprisingly, Li Po's expression immediately softened, and the art of language was fully demonstrated at this time.
However, Li Po didn't know that Yuen Long was indeed different. Even though he was well taken care of by his wife, he himself had not endured a lot of training and was lacking some talents.
But as his brother-in-law, there are many people around him who come up with bad ideas, otherwise he wouldn't be in this situation, but there are actually many people who come up with good ideas.
For example, Yuen Long looked at the expressions of his brother and brother-in-law, or even his teacher, and praised Xu Dalang in his heart, saying how good the Pei family in Hedong was, but Pei Xu knew how to fool people.
Xu Dalang is still able to take care of me and is very thoughtful.
Look at these few words, doesn't my brother's anger disappear a lot?
That's right, compared to being unwilling to settle for trivial matters and always looking for an upright and dignified Pei family, Xu Shiji, who climbed out of Henan, didn't have so many scruples.
Thinking about how to please Yuen Long and taking advantage of the situation is what he is most willing to think about now.
