The curtain of the camp was opened, and Xiao Shilian, who was impatiently walking around in the camp, quickly looked around and saw Pei Zilie walking in. He stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve: "Brother Da Shi, what is the situation?
I’m almost dying of anxiety.”
"Find me some water first," Pei Zilie said as he walked to the water tank, scooped up a ladle of cold water for himself, raised his neck and drank it, and then smacked his mouth, "Fuck,
I’m almost dying of thirst.”
Li Xingchen also slowly stood up and watched Pei Zilie drink water with interest. Xiao Shilian couldn't help but stamp his feet: "You should tell me, don't just drink water."
Li Xingchen waved his hand: "Brother Xiao, there is no need to worry. If things go wrong, Brother Pei will not be in a good mood to drink water here."
Pei Zilie threw the water ladle casually and nodded appreciatively at Li Xingchen: "According to the decree of the imperial court, General Fan Meng of Yiyuan will bless the festival and be the military commander of South Yuzhou. General Ren Zhong of Ningyuan will bless the festival and General Jinfeng Pingbei will be the military commander of North Xuzhou.
.”
Xiao Shilian breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, both Fan Meng and Ren Zhong had received awards, which meant that the court had acquiesced in their status as Xiao Mohe's right arm, although the left arm and right arm seemed to be useless at all.
It's not easy, but after thinking about it, it is impossible for His Majesty to really have no constraints on Xiao Mohe. At least Fan Meng is a familiar general. It is better to use Fan Meng as a constraint than to send an unfamiliar opponent.
"A certain person has also been granted the title of Grand Administrator of Beiqiao Province," Pei Zilie helplessly spread his hands, "But you also understand that it doesn't matter whether the Grand Administrator is appointed or not."
Xiao Shilian and Li Xingchen both laughed. In the final analysis, this has to do with the overseas relocation system of the Southern Dynasties.
When the Eastern Jin Dynasty moved to the south, the people who moved with the imperial court and aristocratic families in the north were resettled according to the original prefectures and counties. For example, the people of Qiaozhou were settled in Huainan and the area was designated as the overseas Chinese area of Qiaozhou, but in fact these people were still
Being placed under the jurisdiction of the local state capital and keeping the name of the northern state capital were just to express the legitimacy of the court, the determination to regain the lost territory, and to facilitate the management of the people. Most of these relocations to the state capital were in name only.
This is why in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there were place names such as South Xuzhou (now Zhenjiang) and North Xuzhou (now Xuzhou) that were incompatible with other eras in history.
After hundreds of years of evolution, the former Qiao County and the current state capital have been completely integrated into one, and Beiqiao Prefecture has naturally become a virtual title.
He has no people and no land under his command. In the final analysis, Pei Zilie is still a powerful general.
"At least the salary has been increased!" Pei Zilie smiled bitterly to comfort himself, "But being promoted to prefect is also troublesome. This time, I have to follow General Zuowei and the Governor to the capital."
Hearing this, Xiao Shilian and Li Xingchen, who had come back to their senses, looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. No matter how hard Pei Zilie ran, he still didn't escape from their hands. After this incident in the capital, Pei Zilie couldn't hide even if he wanted to!
"You two should be gloating over misfortune," Pei Zilie patted the table. "The most important thing now is to think about how we can go safely along the way and come back safely. That Yangzhou governor will definitely not make us feel comfortable."
Li Xingchen suppressed his smile and said seriously: "Now I can only say that it is fortunate that Your Majesty has no intention of embarrassing the Governor and General Xiao. Otherwise, as long as the reward for Fan Meng is smaller, even if Fan Meng grits his teeth and holds back today, he will definitely be in trouble.
We will have resentment in our hearts, and if someone with some intentions provokes us a little bit, our backyard will be on fire, and it will be even harder for us to gain a foothold in the capital."
"This shows that Your Majesty still has your heart towards the Crown Prince after all." Pei Zilie nodded slightly.
It seems that Fan Meng's military rank has not changed this time, and he is still General Yiyuan. However, he was given the post of military governor of South Yuzhou, and things immediately changed. This governor was very different from Pei Zilie's empty-headed governor. South Yuzhou was the real deal.
The existing prefectures and counties are located in the Huainan Fortress, with Liangjun in the north and Chaohu in the south. They have been battlegrounds for military strategists throughout the ages. Hundreds of years ago, Southern Yuzhou had a resounding name - Hefei.
Sun Quan, the great emperor of Wu who once dominated the southeast, led his army northward again and again, but was defeated again and again under the city of Hefei. Cao Wei also once gathered Zhang Liao and Li Dian in Hefei, and there were several generals who could stand alone. Hefei's
The importance is evident.
When His Majesty entrusted the defense of Southern Yuzhou to Fan Meng, he entrusted him with the safety of the outer defense line of Jiankang City. His trust in Fan Meng is self-evident. The identity of the governor of Southern Yuzhou is far from
It is more useful than conferring a title on a general.
As long as Fan Meng is not stupid, he will naturally know that this is His Majesty's favor. After all, based on his contribution in the Battle of Luliang alone, the position of governor of a state is even a bit large. If Fan Meng is not satisfied with such a reward
, if you intend to cause trouble, it would be too disrespectful to His Majesty. After all, this world is still the world of Chen Xu, not the world of Chen Shuling, the governor of Yangzhou.
It can be said that Fan Meng is the most unpredictable bomb in the Nanchen army, and now Chen Xu has suppressed Fan Meng as soon as he takes action. The purpose is naturally to prevent chaos in the army after Wu Mingche and Xiao Mohe leave, which will lead to new
After Xiao Mohe took office, he was "subdued" by his subordinates, and this can be traced back to His Majesty's protection of the prince's party.
Chen Shubao is a simple and honest man, and he never likes to make too many friends with foreign ministers. Xiao Mohe is one of the few ministers who supports him. If even Xiao Mohe is killed by Chen Shuling's conspiracy, then Chen Shubao will really become the polished commander. This kind of thing
Of course Chen Xu would not allow it to happen. What he needed was to train Chen Shubao and the civil and military officials who supported the prince, but not to send them to death.
As for Chen Shuling or Fan Meng, to put it mildly, they were just whetstones.
This result was also expected by Li Xingchen. After all, it was Chen Shubao who finally ascended to the throne in history, not Chen Shuling. But despite the result, if you want to achieve such a result step by step, who knows how much price you have to pay?
Behind the few words written in the history books, there are countless intrigues and bloody events that are difficult to know for future generations.
The curtain opened again, and Xiao Mohe strode in. He looked at the three people in the tent with some surprise. After a moment, he said with a smile: "You three are still here, so that's easy. Get ready.
We will set off early tomorrow morning."
After a pause, Xiao Mohe looked at Xiao Shilian: "Bo Qing, you go and choose the right people among the personal guards. You don't need too many people to guard you when entering the capital. Twenty people are enough, but remember, you need to be agile and clever.
clever!"
As if he was a little worried about Xiao Shilian, Xiao Mohe turned to look at Li Xingchen: "Nephew Shizhong, you have many ideas, so go with him."
Li Xingchen and Xiao Shilian did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly handed over their hands at the same time.
Xiao Mohe smiled at Pei Zilie and said: "Master, the Governor asked you to go there immediately. Don't delay. When the time comes, the Governor will blame you. It will be difficult to explain!"
Xiao Mohe seemed to be in a good mood, Pei Zilie also smiled and nodded, bowed his hands and left.
