Chapter 18: Late Night Conversations
Chang'an City, Qinzheng Palace.
It was late at night, but the temple was brightly lit and kept all night long, because of the man who sat in the temple.
When the crowd had dispersed, a fresh breeze swept by, and another man appeared in the temple.
"I said you, can you appear in a different way? Just like you, if you are seen by others, I am afraid that you will think that there is a ghost. Shaking his head, Xiao Feng dropped the brush in his hand, but looked at Xiao Yue standing in the distance.
The moonlight is cold, and the silver frost covers the ground.
Xiao Yue, who was in the courtyard, was like a fairy under the moon, appearing here in the moonlight.
I saw her bow down, but she said to Xiao Feng: "No way." After all, most of what I do is confidential and cannot be known to others. So it's only in the middle of the night. And I'm fast, and I'll never be discovered. And even if it is seen, it will not be seen in the end. β
Speaking of the back, Xiao Yue's tone was calm, but it was like a hellish Shura, and there was absolutely no fairy breath.
Xiao Feng sighed: "Alas. These days, it's still hard for you. If you have time, you might as well take a break. β
"My sister hasn't rested, how dare I relax?" Xiao Yue shook her head and said, "What's more, now in the Song Kingdom, another big event has happened. If we don't let my sister know in time, I'm afraid we won't be able to deal with it at all. With that, he handed over a prepared letter.
After receiving the letter, Xiao Fengfeng frowned slightly and swept the content on it, and asked, "I didn't expect Yu Jue to die like this?"
"That's right. When I first learned of this news, I was also very surprised, thinking that it was false news deliberately spread by the Song Kingdom. But it wasn't until I sent someone to find out that it was true. Xiao Yue replied in a deep voice.
Although the Red Phoenix Army retreated from Sichuan and Shu, the spies cultivated did not retreat, but grew much stronger because of the previous situation.
At this time, the intelligence network deployed by the Red Phoenix Army in Sichuan and Shu has penetrated into any part of the Sichuan government and the army. To put it bluntly, Xiao Feng's understanding of the whole of Sichuan is not even comparable to Yu Xing, who is now the envoy of Sichuan.
Xiao Feng had a mockery on his face and said with a smile: "So Yu Xing plans to take advantage of this time to rectify the Sichuan army?"
"That's right. Yu Jue is dead, and although Wang Jian is powerful, he is only a military attachΓ© and cannot affect the general trend of the imperial court. Therefore, that guy plans to take advantage of this time to rectify the Sichuan army, so as to train a new army that can fight against us. Xiao Yue had a smile on her lips, obviously not thinking that this matter could be successful.
She also followed the Chifeng Army all the way, so she naturally knew what a strong army should look like.
"Rectify the Sichuan army?"
Xiao Feng couldn't help but laugh and laughed: "I remember that guy has never been on the battlefield, but it is only with the support of Uncle Xie Fang that he can serve as the envoy of Sichuan after Yu Jue's death." With just his little tricks, do you think that you can reorganize the Sichuan army into a strong army that can compete with us?"
She is not arrogant, but confident enough to make this judgment.
You must know that the major affairs of the country are in the worship and the army, and the army is the most critical.
That Yu Xing has no merit, and he doesn't know anything about the army, and it is completely fantastical to want to rectify the Sichuan army with just some means.
"Then according to what my sister said, how should we act?" Xiao Yue asked again.
Xiao Feng restrained his smile at this time, and after thinking about it, he said: "Although we are not afraid of the threat of the Song Kingdom. But if this person is allowed to successfully complete this matter, there will be endless troubles after all. And if Yu Xing wants to rectify the army, he will definitely offend the people in the army. You might as well send someone to secretly contact those people and encourage them to lead the army against them. In this way, the rectification of the Sichuan army will certainly be delayed, and there will be no three or five years of hard work that cannot be recovered, and we will have enough time to rest and recuperate at this time. β
After the previous war, the Red Phoenix Army was also very consumed and urgently needed to rest.
Of course, this is not the time to go to war, so Xiao Feng began to look for another way, so that this Song State would not threaten the Chifeng Army.
"Yu Xing's matter is not afraid. But my lord, you must know that in Lin'an, it is rumored that Yu Jue's death was done by you. But I don't know, how should we deal with it?" Xiao Yue secretly looked at Xiao Feng and said the next thing.
"Yu Jue's death?" Xiao Feng shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Those guys are really shameless, they actually suspect me of coming?"
Xiao Yue was also annoyed and asked, "That's right." In order to be able to resist the Mongol invasion, we agreed to unite with Yu Jue, and we were in the position of allies, so we rescued Yu Jue. I didn't expect this Song Kingdom to be so despicable, but it was said that his death was done by us? β
At the beginning, if Guo Kan hadn't been driven away by her, Yu Jue would have died directly under Guo Kan.
However, in the blink of an eye, this Song Kingdom framed Yu Jue's death, which was done by Xiao Feng, which naturally made her extremely angry.
Xiao Feng didn't care, and said with a smile: "Oh? So that's the kind of thing?" His temper was flat, but he didn't look at it in his eyes, and said: "In this way, presumably the ministers of Lin'an also regard me as an enemy." It's a pity that I thought I could take advantage of the battle of Sichuan and Shu to bridge the gap between the two and fight against Mongolia together. Unexpectedly, they are still wary and regard us as enemies? Alas, it is really a pity. β
"Since that's the case, why don't you kill it directly?" Xiao Yue's tone was solemn, with killing intent.
"It's not time yet. β
Xiao Feng shook his head and replied: "With our current strength, we have already spent a lot of energy just to fight against Mongolia, and it would be unwise to add an enemy at this time." After all, this moment is like the Three Kingdoms period, if Shu and Wu have a gap with each other, it is just a chance for Wei to grow. You don't want me to defeat White Emperor City by then. β
Xiao Yue replied ashamedly: "What my sister taught me is that I know. β
If you talk about the most regrettable thing among the Three Kingdoms, it is the battle between Shu and Wu.
In this battle, not only Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Liu Bei, Huang Zhong and others were defeated and died, but also the vitality of the two countries was lost too much, and then they could only recover their homeland, and it was impossible to plot against the Central Plains.
It is precisely because of this that Xiao Feng acted cautiously, and even repeatedly retreated in the face of the Song Dynasty, because he was afraid of fighting on both sides, and as a result, he ruined his plan.
For this, she can even endure the criticism of others.
"That said. But if I don't react, I'm afraid that those people will only get an inch. In that case, you might as well send your subordinates to secretly investigate the cause of this matter. After all, although Yu Jue was not killed by me, I can guess a thing or two about how he died. At that time, after the Lin'an Qunchen saw the truth, I am afraid that it will also be wonderful. Xiao Feng had a look of banter on her face again, obviously knowing how much turmoil would arise in the Song Dynasty if she released the news.
