After Murong Zhengshan came out of the mansion to see him off, Lu Houde got on the return carriage, but he did not return directly to his own mansion... ·········After a stick of incense, Lu Houde's carriage slowly stopped in front of the Jiangnan Governor's Mansion, and then Lu Houde walked into Lu Jianchao's study.
At this time, in Lu Jianchao's study, besides Lu Jianchao, there was also a young man with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and an impressive weapon. This man was Lu Jianchao's nephew, Lu Yun, the current general in charge of the Jiangnan Army!
Compared with the mature and prudent Lu Jianchao, the young and energetic Lu Yun was obviously the more impatient one. After seeing Lu Houde, he couldn't help but ask: "Brother, how is the matter?" Lu Houde smiled slightly when he heard this. He nodded and said: "I have already told Murong Zhengshan about the matter. Now it depends on what Murong Zhengshan will do!" After hearing this, Lu Jianchao, who was sitting in the main seat, also nodded and said: "Just tell Zhengshan about the matter. This matter ends here, and what Xu Zhaojie should do has nothing to do with us in Jiangnan!"
"Xu Zhaojie's people came here again to ask for money, but I have sent people back!" Lu Yun couldn't help but said: "Uncle, I want my nephew to say that you are too kind and righteous to this person named Xu. Let me tell you that neither the Fengwu Army nor the Zhennan Army are good birds!"
"If you want me to say that they are biting dogs now, let them bite them. We sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, the snipe and the clam fight against each other, and the fisherman gets the benefit. Wouldn't it be beautiful... ··········" In response to Lu Yun's words, Lu Jianchao shook his head and said: "If the strength gap between Zhennan Army and Fengwu Army is not big, I will naturally sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers. Laugh and watch them fight to death!"
"But now the Zhennan Army is obviously no match for the Fengwu Army, so although we can't directly send troops to help Xu Zhaojie, we still have to help in other places where we can!" At this point, Lu Jianchao paused and looked at He looked around at his son and nephew, and then said earnestly: "Hude, Yun'er, you must know that although we have enmity with Xu Zhaojie, if we help Xu Zhaojie now, we are helping ourselves!" Hearing the uncle say this Said, Lu Yun opened his mouth to say something, but finally closed his mouth.
In fact, he understood all the truths Lu Jianchao said, but as the general of the Jiangnan Army who led the army to fight Xu Zhaojie, Lu Yun was emotionally unable to accept making peace with the Zhennan Army!
After all, tens of thousands of Jiangnan soldiers had suffered at the hands of Xu Zhaojie, and many of them were Lu Yun's comrades and friends. Lu Yun had vowed to repay this blood debt from Xu Zhaojie on their behalf!
In addition, in the previous battle of Chishan Mansion, the Jiangnan Army was defeated by Xu Zhaojie with an absolute advantage!
As the general of the Jiangnan Army who commanded this battle, the young and vigorous Lu Yun also believed that this was the biggest shame in his life. He had been brooding in his heart, thinking that one day he could confront Xu Zhaojie on the battlefield again so that he could control the situation. Get it back... So even though I know that facing the overwhelming Fengwu Army now, the situation in Jiangnan is not good or even okay. It is said that everything is in danger, so the only solution for now seems to be to keep warm with the Zhennan Army newspaper group of his old rival Xu Zhaojie!
However, as a soldier, Lu Yun was still emotionally unable to accept it, and he rejected and resisted the Zhennan Army in his heart!
Seeing that his nephew Lu Yun had stopped talking, Lu Jianchao turned his attention to his son Lu Houde who fell into silence. After pondering for a moment, he asked: "Hou De, are you still not optimistic about Xu Zhaojie's actions this time?" Under his father's gaze, Lu Yun shook his head and said: "No, I think Xu Zhaojie is very well prepared this time. He knows that the command and control office is pervasive. In Huainan, Jingchu has a lot of hidden spies. It is difficult to hide the large-scale mobilization of the Zhennan Army from him. We have our own eyes and ears, so we deliberately made a series of fake moves and asked us to release some news to the Fengwu Army in an attempt to confuse the Fengwu Army’s combat deployment!”
"The Fengwu Army's focus is still in the north. Although the Fengwu Army troops stationed in the south have been preparing, they don't seem to be ready to fight the Zhennan Army yet!"
"So under such a calculated and unintentional situation, I think Xu Zhaojie is very likely to win a beautiful victory this time... "Lu Jianchao was a little confused when his son said this. Currently, the Jiangnan Army camp is mainly divided into two factions. One group was frightened by the prestige of the Fengwu Army and advocated persuading Lu Jianchao to surrender to the Fengwu Army in order to preserve the family. Wealth and safety!
The other faction believes that Ye Mingsheng is a rebellious official and a traitor. As the saying goes, the Han and traitors are not at odds with each other. The Jiangnan Army should put aside its past hatred and grievances, join forces with Xu Zhaojie to resist the Fengwu Army, maintain its independence, and wait for opportunities to move!
As the eldest son of Lu Jianchao and the recognized heir of the Jiangnan Army faction, Lu Houde has always remained neutral and has not publicly expressed his opinions. Even if someone below asked him to express his position, he remained silent.
Although Lu Houde did not express his position, judging from his status, not expressing his position is a kind of expression in itself!
Lu Jianchao knew very well that his eldest son was not optimistic that Jiangnan could stop the Fengwu Army. This also made him a little disappointed as he was determined to be independent!
Before the news of the Fengwu Army's defeat of the Kipchak Khanate came back today, although the voices of the two sides in the south of the Yangtze River were quarrelsome, they were generally on an equal footing!
However, after the news of the Fengwu Army's victory over the Kipchak Khanate came back, things completely changed!
The voices of the pro-surrender faction rose loudly. Just now, several ministers of the pro-surrender faction came together to meet Lu Jianchao and persuaded Lu Jianchao to surrender. The Fengwu Army attacked the Fengwu Army from behind... ············These pro-surrender factions believe that the Fengwu Army is now in a strong position. Even if Jiangnan and Huainan can join forces, it is impossible to defeat the Fengwu Army!
So in this case, why not be a hero who knows the current affairs? Marshal Ye of the Fengwu Army, although he has always been called a hawk watching the wolf, looks at his behavior and he is not a cruel person!
Therefore, if you surrender, your life will definitely not be in danger. Secondly, you can seek a good title in the new dynasty in the future. Secondly, the people in Jiangnan will also be able to avoid the suffering of the war!
Killing three birds with one stone, why not? Do we have to wait for the disaster of destroying the city and annihilating the clan to appear before our eyes before we regret it?
To tell the truth, when he said these words to his ministers, Lu Jianchao once had the illusion that the people who came to remonstrate were not his subordinates but people from the Fengwu Army!
Although Lu Jianchao was a little angry at these words, he was not a particularly assertive person, so when he thought about what his subordinates said and the consequences of persisting in resistance, he felt a little uneasy, worried that the city would be destroyed and the clan would be destroyed. It happened to their Lu family!
Although he was very worried and scared, Lu Jianchao was still filled with unwillingness when he thought that he had been wandering for half his life and had finally established a business in Jiangnan. Before he could enjoy it much, he would hand it over to Ye Mingsheng, a warrior. ...... His own abilities were used to defeat the Fengwu Army, giving the Fengwu Army a head-on blow and completely dispelling the idea of the Fengwu Army trying to unify the world.
It was under this mentality that when the Zhennan Army asked the Jiangnan Army to cooperate in releasing some information to confuse the Fengwu Army's eyes and ears, Lu Jianchao readily agreed and sent his eldest son Lu Houde to do it himself.
However, because Lu Houde himself was more optimistic about the Fengwu Army, he honestly had some different opinions on Lu Jianchao's decision. However, despite his father's difficult fate, Lu Houde finally went to see Murong Zhengshan. Because of this, he knew that his son was optimistic about the Fengwu Army. Lu Jianchao was so confused when he heard Lu Houde said that he was optimistic about Xu Zhaojie's victory!
Lu Houde seemed to have noticed his father's doubts, and after pondering for a moment, he expressed his opinion.
"Dad, even if Xu Zhaojie wins this time, I still think it will be difficult for him to shake the overall situation. In the past several battles between Xu Zhaojie and the Fengwu Army, he has also achieved several beautiful victories, and even defeated the so-called Fengwu Army. The first general, Yuan Song, annihilated many troops in the Fengwu Army!"
"But Fengwu Army always laughs last. This is the advantage of Fengwu Army in comprehensive strength. They can not only achieve success, but also be able to withstand failure and make the right decision after failure. This is The terrible thing about the Fengwu Army..." Hearing that his eldest son, whom he had always trusted, was no longer secretive, he expressed it directly Lu Jianchao's face couldn't help but darken due to Feng Wujun's optimism.
In his opinion, it is normal for those ministers to be optimistic about the Fengwu Army and to persuade him to surrender to the Fengwu Army. After all, these ministers are all ministers there. Whoever wants to follow a promising master may be able to do so in the future? Find a position in the new dynasty!
What's more, the people from the Tongtong Coordination Office are all-pervasive. Some of the people he knows have taken advantage of the Tongtang Coordination Office and agreed to speak for the Fengwu Army!
Although Lu Jianchao is not a very decisive person, he has been in the officialdom for decades and has been able to survive from a poor student to where he is today. He is not an ordinary person. He actually knows it in his heart. He just doesn't want to offend the Fengwu Army. Clean out the moths from under your hands!
But what Lu Jianchao couldn't understand was that his eldest son, the heir to his career, was also optimistic about the Fengwu Army and had a pessimistic attitude towards the Jiangnan separatist regime. This also gave Lu Jianchao an indescribable sense of frustration!
Lu Jianchao looked at Lu Yun on the side, hoping that Lu Yun could stand up and say something at this time. After all, Lu Yun is now the general commanding the army in Jiangnan. In Lu Jianchao's view, he is the main combatant of course and should firmly fight with the Fengwu Army. Fight to the end!
However, what disappointed Lu Jianchao was that Lu Yun's eyes were erratic under his gaze, and he never said what Lu Jianchao wanted... ··············································· ······················································In a side room of Ye Mansion, looking at Gu Sansi in front of him, An Miaoyi, who was sitting in the main seat, smiled and said: "Jingren is naughty and naughty, and you are really troubling Mr. Gu!" Gu Sansi said very respectfully after hearing this: "Since Gu is Master Jingren's master, these are all my duties. Madam, you are serious in your words. "
"Although Mr. Jingren loves to play a little, he has a good nature and a good talent for reading. He can become a talent with just a little polishing!"
"In addition, Mr. Jingren has done very well in his recent homework. Not only can he recite those articles fluently, but he can also draw inferences from one instance and have his own ideas and understanding. This is very valuable!" After hearing Gu Sansi's praise, An Miaoyi couldn't help but have a faint smile on her face. Jingren's homework had always been a headache for her.
In order to enable Jingren to study hard, An Miaoyi would take some time to check and supervise Jingren's study no matter how busy he was.
So when she heard Gu Sansi's praise, An Miaoyi felt that her efforts had finally been rewarded, and she was very happy.
Although An Miaoyi was interested in discussing Jingren's study issues with Gu Sansi, Gu Sansi chose to leave with an excuse after saying some extravagant words... ·······As Gu Sansi left, the original smile on An Miaoyi's face immediately disappeared, replaced by the coldness in her eyes!
Although An Miaoyi liked it very much, Ye Mingsheng arranged for Gu Sansi to be Jingren's teacher, sending a signal to the outside world that his eldest son Jingren was the heir!
But to be honest, An Miaoyi was gradually getting bored with Gu Sansi. In her opinion, Gu Sansi, as Jingren's master, would wait until her husband became Dabao and became the queen himself, and Jingren was canonized as the Prince of the East Palace. Think twice, there is no doubt that he is the master!
Therefore, Gu Sansi should make it clear that the horses and horses are on his side, but Gu Sansi now keeps a certain distance from his side. Even when he intends to win over him, this guy will not give him face!
And when An Miaoyi was most dissatisfied, Gu Sansi would show his appreciation for Jingxuan from time to time, giving people the feeling that he wanted to be Jingxuan's master!
To be honest, if Gu Sansi was not her husband's most trusted and optimistic minister, he would hold a high position in the new dynasty in the future, and he might even be a strong candidate for the chief minister of the future cabinet. An Miaoyi even wants to change Jingren's master. !
However, considering the value of Gu Sansi, An Miaoyi still hid her dissatisfaction and boredom deep in her heart and prevented them from being exposed... ·
