Chapter 982: Pei's Father and Son

"Yes." Tsing Yi smiled slightly, "Half a month ago, Pei Renji and his son from the Pei clan came to vote."

"It is indeed good news, please hurry up."

Ouyang Shuo temporarily pressed the matter of southern Anhui Province, and was going to meet Pei Renji and his son first.

"promise!"

Pei Renji was born in the Pei family in Hedong. In the early years of Emperor Kaihuang, he served as the bodyguard of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. Later, he joined the army to participate in the war of destroying the Chen Dynasty and attacking Tuyuhun and Mohe. He made great contributions and was appointed Doctor Guanglu.

In the thirteenth year of Daye, when he was ordered to suppress the Wagang Army occupying Luokou, he was restrained by the censor Xiao Huaijing and forced to surrender to Li Mi. In the first year of Wude, he advised Li Mi not to fight Wang Shichong, but Li Mi refused to listen, causing the Wagang Army to be defeated. Pei Renji was also captured by Wang Shichong and named Minister of Rites.

In the second year of Wude, after Wang Shichong became emperor, Pei Renji and Yuwen Rutong plotted to assassinate Wang Shichong and wanted to support Yang Tong, the king of Yue. As a result, the incident was leaked, and Pei Renji and his son Pei Xingyan were killed.

Compared to Naifu, Pei Xingyan is more famous.

Pei Xingyan is brave and good at fighting, and he is invincible in every attack. He is known as "the enemy of ten thousand people". The prototype of Pei Yuanqing in the novel "Shuo Tang" is Pei Xingyan.

Pei Xingyan also has a younger brother named Pei Xingjian, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, who did not appear in the wilderness this time.

After a while, Pei Renji and his son were taken to the imperial study by Tsing Yi. However, although Pei Renji was nearly half a hundred years old, he was still in good spirits, with a long white beard, a purple cloud-patterned robe, and a gold-plated black iron helmet.

Pei Xingyan followed behind his father. He was tall and tall, wearing a silver armor and blue robe, and he was very heroic.

"The last general, Pei Renji (Pei Xingyan), pay homage to the king!"

The two saluted respectfully.

Among the Pei clan, Pei Ju is the Governor of Somalia, and Pei Yun is the Director of Civil Affairs.

This time Pei Renji and his son came to vote, it was a matter of course.

Not only Ouyang Shuo was happy, but Pei Ju and Pei Yun were also secretly happy because the Pei family only took root in the civil society, but they didn't have any roots in the Great Xia Army.

The arrival of Pei Renji and his son just made up for this shortcoming. The Pei family, or the Pei Clan, will surely shine in Da Xia and become a powerful family again.

Ouyang Shuo said: "The two generals are invited to go to battle, father and son, both are brave generals."

"The king's absurd praise!"

Pei Renji was an old man, and he had been with Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, so he knew his proportions just right. Standing behind his father, Pei Xingyan looked at the emperor above his age with some curiosity and some awe.

As a general, Pei Xingyan was courageous. Before he came, he had no impression of King Xia, so he didn't take it seriously.

But as soon as he stepped into the imperial study room and saw the young emperor who was casually sitting on top, Pei Xingyan immediately felt an invisible pressure rushing towards his face, he didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore, and obediently restrained his sharpness.

On the king, Pei Xingyan faintly felt a faint murderous aura, which made people feel awe-inspiring. It was only then that Pei Xingyan believed that the rumors that Wang Shang had extraordinary martial arts skills were definitely not flattery.

While chatting, Ouyang Shuo checked the attributes of the two of them.

【Name】: Pei Renji (King Class)

【Dynasty】: Sui Dynasty

[Identity]: General of Daxia

[Occupation]: Senior General

[Loyalty]: 75 points

[Commander]: 70 [Force]: 78 [Intelligence]: 50 [Politics]: 50

…………

【Name】: Pei Xingyan (Wang class)

【Dynasty】: Sui Dynasty

[Identity]: General of Daxia

[Occupation]: Senior General

[Loyalty]: 80 points

[Commander]: 68 [Force]: 87 [Intelligence]: 48 [Politics]: 45

[Specialty]: Ten thousand enemies (increase troop attack power by 25%, increase marching speed by 10%)

[Comment]: Xingyan is brave and good at fighting. Every time there is an attack, he is invincible. He is called "the enemy of ten thousand people".

Pei Xingyan is worthy of being a fierce general, and his [Force] value is beyond the charts. He really deserves the title of "enemy of ten thousand people". It's just that Pei Xingyan's [Loyalty] value is higher than Naifu's, which puzzles Ouyang Shuo.

How did Ouyang Shuo know that the moment he saw him, Pei Xingyan's [Loyalty] value increased by ten points. For a fierce general like Pei Xingyan, there is no one who is more admired than a master with extraordinary martial arts.

After chatting for a while, Ouyang Shuo suddenly asked, "Does General Pei know Li Mi's whereabouts?"

When Shan Xiongxin and Wang Bodang came to vote, Ouyang Shuo felt that something was wrong, and secretly asked Shan Haiwei to keep an eye on Wang Bodang, trying to follow the clues and find out Li Mi's whereabouts.

I never thought that Li Mi was as cunning as a fox, and he hadn't contacted Wang Bodang once in such a long time. Seeing Pei Renji, Ouyang Shuo suddenly thought that Pei Renji and his son also had a relationship with Li Mi, so he asked this question.

"This……"

Pei Renji was stunned by the question, the hesitation in his eyes flashed away.

Ouyang Shuo keenly caught the twinkle in Pei Renji's eyes, his expression suddenly became solemn, and he said lightly, "Why, is there anything else you can't tell me, General?"

"The last general dare not!"

Pei Renji's heart trembled, knowing that the king had murderous intentions.

To be unfaithful is a taboo.

Pei Renji gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, Pu Shangong has indeed contacted the last general." Pei Xingyan on the side heard this, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, obviously he didn't know about it.

Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly, and without further questioning, he said directly, "Very well, after we go down, the general will cooperate with Shanhaiwei to find this person, and this king will let the past go. Otherwise, you should know what the consequences will be."

"I will understand in the end."

Although Pei Renji couldn't bear it, he never dared to disobey his orders. When something happened to him, it would not only affect him alone, but also the honor and disgrace of the entire Pei Clan.

"Back off!"

The current Ouyang Shuo no longer needs to go around in circles.

"promise!"

…………

It was almost noon after seeing off Pei Renji and his son. Ouyang Shuo was supposed to go back to the harem for dinner. Before leaving, he told Tsing Yi: "Let Mr. Zhang Liang come over in the afternoon."

Ouyang Shuo wanted to hear Zhang Liang's opinion on how to deal with the changes in the Central Plains.

"clear!"

…………

At three o'clock in the afternoon, in the Royal Study Room.

Tsing Yi personally brewed a cup of premium pekoe tea for Ouyang Shuo and Zhang Liang, and quietly retreated to the outside room.

With the opening of trade routes, there is no shortage of famous Chinese teas such as West Lake Longjing, Biluochun, Dahongpao, and Tieguanyin in the palace, but Ouyang Shuo only loves the white tea produced in Lianzhou.

Without him, it's just a habit.

As one of the earliest territorial specialties, pekoe tea has contributed a lot.

The teacup also has a lot of origins. It was sent by the siege lion and is an authentic blue and white porcelain teacup made in Jingdezhen. Ouyang Shuo took a sip and said with a smile, "Although the reputation is not obvious, it is still a good cup of tea if you sip it carefully."

Zhang Liang was silent.

This was the first time that the monarch and his ministers played against each other. For a while, Zhang Liang couldn't figure out the king's context, so he couldn't speak nonsense.

Ouyang Shuo didn't take it seriously, put down his teacup, and got straight to the point, "[Yanhuangmeng] won the southern province of Anhui in a flash, is there any deep meaning behind it, will there be a follow-up, what do you think of Ovary?"

"According to this minister, there are various indications that [Yanhuang League] is playing a big game of chess."

The sign Zhang Liang said was not the news that everyone knew on the surface, but the information handed over by Shanhaiwei. In order for the Ministerial Council to truly play its role as a think tank, Ouyang Shuo had already known that Shen Buhai would send a copy of the information obtained by Shanhaiwei to the Ministerial Council, except for some sensitive information.

If necessary, the Zizheng Pavilion can also take the initiative to ask Shanhaiwei to inquire about some specific information.

Relying on Shanhaiwei's powerful intelligence system, counselors such as Zhang Liang and Jia Xu can truly "know the world's major events without leaving home."

Therefore, although Zhang Liang has only been in Daxia for more than a month, with his wisdom, he is already familiar with Daxia and the surrounding situation, and he can really make plans.

In contrast, the original Caiyun City is really weak.

Although Shanhai City can't detect the most mysterious "Z Plan" of [Yanhuang League], it can still catch some information from clues, and [Yanhuang League]'s internal fusion is accelerating.

True fusion.

Speaking of this, Zhang Liang suddenly took out a map, which was the simplified version [Map of China Map] secretly drawn by Shanhaiwei, including all eighteen provinces in China.

"Your Majesty, please take a look." Zhang Liang pointed to the Central Plains, "[Yanhuang League] After taking down the Southern Anhui Province, as long as they take down the Central Plains Province or the Eastern Ludong Province where Western Chu is located, the six territories can be completely connected. In one piece."

Ouyang Shuo's eyes froze. The [Yanhuang League] territory formed a hollow circle with the Central Plains province as the center, but the existence of Xichu and Luofengcheng split this circle into two sections.

For some reason, Ouyang Shuo suddenly thought of Gaia's Six Hegemons of Handan in one year.

If Ouyang Shuo hadn't happened, Luofeng City would have been a staunch member of [Yanhuang League] at this time. In that case, [Yanhuang League] could easily unify the Central Plains and the northern regions, and win the essence of China in one fell swoop.

"So they started planning all this before entering the game?"

Ouyang Shuo was secretly vigilant, but at the same time he was a little fortunate. If the location he had chosen to build the village was not in the southernmost Lianzhou Basin, the Great Xia Dynasty might not have reached its current height.

Pointing to Taiyuan Province, Ouyang Shuo said, "Zifang, you missed something, as long as Luofeng City is taken, [Yanhuang League]'s territory can also be connected as one."

"What the king said is true." Zhang Liang did not refute, "It is only calculated according to the difficulty. Obviously this is the worst strategy."

Ouyang Shuo nodded, "So, we have to remind Xiang Yu not to let Xichu be swallowed by [Yanhuang League]." Although Daxia and Xichu were not hard-core allies, Ouyang Shuo did not want to see Xichu either. fall.

"It's okay to remind, but with the disposition of the overlord of Chu, it may not be of any use." In terms of understanding of Xiang Yu, Zhang Liang, the number one counselor under Liu Bang in history, is obviously unmatched.

"In your opinion, how should Daxia remedy it?" Ouyang Shuo asked.
