Although he saw this, Pei Ju remained calm, as if he didn't see them. His eyes just swept over these people as usual.
Liu Jingxuan planned to take Pei Ju directly into the mansion according to his father's previous instructions.
But as soon as he took two steps, an attendant came quickly and whispered a few words in his ear. Liu Jingxuan frowned slightly and slowed down.
"Mr. Pei must be tired after traveling all the way. Why don't you go to the post house to take a bath and rest first?"
Liu Jingxuan pondered slightly and said.
It seems that Liu Song's envoy arrived in a hurry. I don't know what Liu Laozhi and Liu Song's envoy are discussing.
Pei Ju knew what he was talking about, smiled and said, "What Lieutenant Liu said is that I will go to the post house first, and then come to see General Liu after taking a bath!"
Under the leadership of Beifu soldiers.
Pei Ju and his party soon arrived at the post house, where everyone stayed temporarily.
After quickly placing the Huai Army envoys.
Liu Jingxuan immediately returned to the General's Mansion and met his father Liu Laozhi.
Liu Laozhi is a little thin, and his appearance is not that of a majestic and domineering general. However, his eyes are bright, his spine is straight, and he has the aura of a general in the army.
He was pressing his temples and frowning as if he was thinking about something.
"Father!"
Liu Jingxuan walked in.
"Has the Huai Army's envoy been placed?"
Liu Laozhi asked.
"It has been arranged at the post house and is waiting for father's summons at any time!" Liu Jingxuan replied quickly.
"The Huai army captured Yangzhou, and Pei Ju defected to Wang Jing to serve King Huai. I don't know what the purpose of King Huai sent him!"
Liu Laozhi pondered.
There were many generals in the Beifu Army, but not many qualified counselors. In addition, Liu Laozhi was unwilling to trust others casually because of the betrayal of his military counselors in history.
The only person he can trust is Liu Jingxuan.
Liu Jingxuan did not inherit his father's military strategy and ability to lead troops, but he still had the ability to command thousands of people, and he was also quite good in other aspects, such as governing the people and serving as military staff. At least he is a county talent.
Therefore, Liu Jingxuan can speak well in front of his father.
"My son feels that Wang Jing wants to negotiate peace with us! Right now, Yang Shuang and Zhang Shicheng have gathered hundreds of thousands of troops, and Chen Baxian's hundreds of thousands of troops can attack Yangzhou at any time!"
"The Huai army is under great pressure, so he wants to negotiate a peace with our army to prevent our army from sending troops when he is fighting with the other two princes!"
Liu Jingxuan said.
This is also a normal way of thinking.
Liu Laozhi nodded, obviously he also thought the same, "Well, let's not mention the Huai army. Just now Liu Yilong sent an envoy over, asking our army to cross the Yangtze River and go south. Do you think my father should agree?"
In the source world, after Liu Laozhi committed suicide in despair, Liu Jingxuan defected to Liu Yu and was quite popular under Liu Yu.
Liu Yu was also one of the few people who helped Liu Laozhi after he committed suicide.
Therefore, Liu Laozhi and Liu Jingxuan both had a good impression of Liu Yu.
From a basic point of view, if the monarch of Liu Song Dynasty was Liu Yu, their father and son would have defected there with the Beifu Army.
"The Point Guard Is Here"
But the current monarch of Liu Song is Liu Yilong, which makes them hesitate.
Liu Yilong's martial arts skills were okay, but his martial arts skills were too poor. He didn't feel like Liu Yu's son at all. Moreover, Liu Yilong was more afraid of his generals, and many famous ministers and generals died in his hands.
Tan Daoji, a famous general in the martial arts temple, died at his hands.
If they go south to join Liu Yilong and continue to work hard, it would be too bad if they meet a miserable end again in the end.
"What conditions did Liu Yilong give?"
Liu Jingxuan did not answer directly, but asked first.
At present, their father and son lead more than 100,000 elite soldiers of the Beifu Army and occupy Taixing. They can be called a small and medium-sized vassal force.
Liu Yilong just wanted them to lead his troops to defect with all his empty words? impossible!
Even if the principal of the source world wants to win over others, he will appoint officials and make wishes.
Liu Laozhi did not hide anything, and said: "The envoy said that as long as we lead the troops south, he will confer upon me the title of Marquis of Pengcheng, General of the Conquest of the West, and Governor of Dantu. I will maintain integrity and open a mansion at Jingkou!"
"As long as we can stop the Ming court's army, we can say anything. When Liu Yu comes, you and I will also be important ministers in the court!"
Liu Jingxuan's eyes moved slightly and he said: "He is using our father and son as shields, placing them at the entrance of Jingkou to defend him against the Ming court troops. My son heard that the Ming army has many generals, especially Li Wenzhong, and even Xiao Yan is not his." opponent!"
"Chen Baxian was even driven to the north of the Yangtze River by him... With such a powerful enemy, if we go south and fight against the Ming army just for some empty official positions, I will feel a little bad!"
"Also, if we go south, what will happen to Taixing? If there is no army to guard it, the Huai Army and Zhang Shicheng will definitely come to attack!"
He considered it very carefully and was not confused by Liu Yilong's wish to become an official.
The more than 100,000 elite troops of the Beifu Army are the real authority. Without these soldiers and horses, the Marquis of Pengcheng and the Governor of Dantu are all in vain.
Talk about this.
Liu Jingxuan suddenly felt something in his heart and asked, "What do you think, father? Are you ready to agree to Liu Yilong's conditions?"
"Why!"
Liu Laozhi suddenly sighed and said: "When my father and you came to this world, it seemed that we had an army of more than 100,000 people, and we guarded Taixing and became a prince. In fact, you and I, father and son, did not compete with other princes. ability!"
"Let my father command the army and fight decisively on the battlefield. My father believes that he will never lose to those so-called famous generals. But if it is to govern the local area and compete for world hegemony... I really can't do it, and I don't have such ambitions!"
"Taixing, in my father's hands, can barely maintain the current troops and horses, and is unable to expand externally. At present, most of the food and grass stored in the city have been consumed. If we don't agree to Liu Yilong's conditions, we will run out of food soon!"
It goes without saying that the importance of food and grass to the army is obvious.
Without food and grass, even the invincible iron army that sweeps across the world will quickly collapse and disintegrate.
Taixing's food supply has always been very tight, and food storage is the most core secret in the army.
Liu Jingxuan often discussed the military situation with his father, but he heard nothing about it.
At this time, when he heard that the food reserves were insufficient, his expression suddenly changed.
"Taixing is not as prosperous as Jiangnan. Liu Yilong said that as long as our army goes south, all the military power in Dantu will be in my hands. This is equivalent to us replacing Taixing with Dantu, so it is not a big loss!"
Liu Laozhi said, not only to comfort his son, but also to comfort and convince himself.
Liu Jingxuan was speechless.
In Taixing, father and son agreed that they controlled the fate of more than 100,000 troops. If they went south, Liu Yilong would hand over all the military and political power in Jingkou to them.
But there will definitely be various means for checks and balances.
It is difficult to say the same thing again.
"Father, you should think twice!"
Liu Jingxuan said. He seemed to feel that his father had a longing for Jiangnan, but when he talked about Taixing, he had no nostalgia...
Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Liu Laozhi is willing to go south.
