Chapter 373
Although he saw this, Pei Ju remained calm, as if he hadn't seen them.His eyes just swept over these people normally.

Liu Jingxuan was going to take Pei Ju into the mansion directly according to his father's previous instructions.

But as soon as he took two steps, an attendant came quickly and whispered something in his ear, Liu Jingxuan frowned slightly, and slowed down his pace.

"Mr. Pei must be tired after traveling all the way, how about going to the post house to take a bath and rest?"

Liu Jingxuan pondered slightly and said.

It seems that Liu Song's envoy came in a hurry. I don't know what Liu Laozhi and Liu Song's envoy are discussing.

Pei Ju knew it well, smiled, and said: "Lieutenant Liu said 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 they stayed temporarily.

After quickly placing the envoys of the Huai Army.

Liu Jingxuan immediately returned to the General's Mansion and met his father Liu Laozhi.

Liu Laozhi's figure is a little thin, and his appearance is not that of a majestic and domineering Han general, but his eyes are bright, his back is straight, and he has the aura of a general in the army.

He pressed his temple at this moment, frowning as if he was thinking about something.

"Father!"

Liu Jingxuan walked in.

"Have the envoys of the Huai army settled?"

Liu Laozhi asked.

"It's been arranged at the post house, and I'm waiting for my father's call at any time!" Liu Jingxuan replied quickly.

"The Huai Army captured Yangzhou, and Pei Ju took refuge in Wang Jing to serve the King Huai. I don't know what the King Huai sent him for!"

Liu Laozhi pondered.

There are many generals and schools in the Beifu Army, but there are not many qualified resourceful men. In addition, Liu Laozhi is unwilling to trust others casually because of the betrayal of the counselors who joined the army under his command in the past.

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 has the ability to command thousands of people, and he is also quite good in other aspects, such as governing the people and serving as a staff officer in the army.At least a county talent.

So Liu Jingxuan can speak in front of his father.

"My son feels that Wang Jing wants to make 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 I want 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 the thinking of normal people.

Liu Laozhi nodded, obviously he thought the same way, "Well, let's not mention the matter of the Huai army. Just now Liu Yilong sent an envoy to invite our army to cross the south of the Yangtze River. Do you think you should agree as a father?"

In the original world, after Liu Laozhi committed suicide in despair, Liu Jingxuan defected to Liu Yu, and was still highly valued under Liu Yu's command.

Liu Yu was also one of the few people who helped after Liu Laozhi committed suicide.

Therefore, both Liu Laozhi and Liu Jingxuan have a good impression of Liu Yu.

From the heart, if Liu Song's monarch was Liu Yu, their father and son would have taken the Beifu army and defected there.

But it is precisely that Liu Song's monarch is Liu Yilong, which makes them hesitate.

Liu Yilong's martial arts is not bad, but his martial arts are too weak, he doesn't feel like Liu Yu's son at all, and Liu Yilong is more afraid of the generals under his hands, and many famous officials and generals died in his hands.

Tan Daoji, a generation of famous generals who were listed in the martial arts temple, died at his hands.

If they go south to defect to Liu Yilong and continue to work hard, it would be too bad if they meet another miserable end in the end.

"What conditions did Liu Yilong give?"

Liu Jingxuan did not answer directly, but asked first.

Right now, their father and son are leading more than [-] elite soldiers of the Beifu Army, and they still occupy Taixing, which can be called a small and medium-sized vassal force.

Liu Yilong wanted them to lead their troops to defect with empty teeth?impossible!

Even the principal of the source world would wantonly seal up officials and make wishes by wooing others.

Liu Laozhi didn't hide anything, and said: "The envoy said, as long as we lead our troops to the south, I will be canonized as Marquis of Pengcheng, General of Zhengxi, Prefect of Dantu, and hold festivals, and open a mansion in Jingkou!"

"As long as you can stop the Ming court's army, you can say anything. When Liu Yu comes, you and my father and son will also be important officials in the court!"

Liu Jingxuan's eyes moved slightly, and he said: "He is using our father and son as shields, and put them in Jingkou to defend him against the Ming army. 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 Jiangbei by him... Such a powerful enemy, if we go south, and fight against the Ming army just for some empty official positions, I feel a little bad!"

"Also, if we go south, what will happen to Taixing? If there is no large army guarding it, the Huai army and Zhang Shicheng will definitely come to attack!"

He was very thoughtful, and he was not confused by Liu Yilong's wish to become an official.

The more than [-] elites of the Beifu army are the real authority. Without these soldiers and horses, the Marquis of Pengcheng and the prefect of Dantu are all vain.

said here.

Liu Jingxuan's heart suddenly moved, and he asked, "What does father think? Is he going to agree to Liu Yilong's conditions?"

"Hey!"

Liu Laozhi sighed suddenly, and said: "When I came to this world with you and my father, it seemed that we had an army of more than [-] people and guarded Taixing and became a prince. In fact, neither you nor my father and son competed 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 he wants to rule the country and fight for hegemony... I really can't do it, and I don't have such ambitions!"

"A Taixing, in the hands of the father, can only barely maintain the current soldiers and horses, and has no strength to expand outwards. Currently, most of the grain and grass hoarded in the city have been consumed. If we don't agree to Liu Yilong's conditions, we will run out of food in a short time!"

The importance of food and grass to the army is self-evident.

Without food and grass, even the invincible iron army that swept across the world would collapse quickly.

Taixing's food supply has always been very tight, and food storage is the most important secret in the army.

Liu Jingxuan often discussed the military situation with his father, but he didn't hear about it.

At this time, when he heard that there was not enough food in stock, his face suddenly changed.

"Taixing is not as prosperous as the south of the Yangtze River. Liu Yilong said that as long as our army goes south, all the military power in Dantu will belong to me. This means that we exchange Taixing with Dantu, and it is not too bad!"

Liu Laozhi said that even if he was comforting his son, he was also comforting and persuading himself.

Liu Jingxuan was speechless.

In Taixing, their father and son were as good as one, and controlled the fate of more than [-] troops. If they went south, even if Liu Yilong handed over all the military and political power of Jingkou to them.

But there will certainly be various means of checks and balances.

If you think about it, it will be difficult to say the same thing.

"Father, think twice!"

Liu Jingxuan said.He seemed to feel that his father had a longing for Jiangnan, but when he talked about Taixing, he didn't have any nostalgia...

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Liu Laozhi was willing to go south.
