: Try it to the end

Hearing Shi Shude say this, Li Rui nodded. Although he didn't understand what the old eunuch said very well, he was very sure that in terms of intrigue and taking sides, warriors are born with gaps compared to eunuchs, and he is right to do what the other party said.

Hangzhou, the Mingtang of Zhenhai Jiedushi Mansion, all the doors were closed. Last night, a fresh snow filled the yard in front of the hall. The huge yard was nothing but the occasional birds flying down, and it seemed particularly quiet. When the heart of Huainan in Guangling was extremely nervous, the heart of Zhenhaijun was extremely quiet, as if he had not noticed anything.

Suddenly, an object broke through the paper bed, flew out of the Mingtang, landed in the courtyard, and alarmed the birds on the side looking for grass seeds to eat on the snow. A few birds cried through the quiet air. After a while, the birds flew back to the snow, chirping around the object, as if they were discussing what it was, disturbing their foraging.

At this time, a sound of footsteps came, and the birds quickly flew up again. It turned out to be a guard waiting in the corridor. The guard picked up the object that was stuck in the snow. It turned out to be a jade pendant with mutton fat. He looked up at the closed doors and windows of Mingtang, carefully wiped the pendant clean and put it in his arms.

In the Mingtang, the tense atmosphere formed a sharp contrast with the tranquility of the outer courtyard. Chen Yun stared at the garden, and almost all the thin beards on his chin were raised. His palms were trembling constantly, and there were two ribbons hanging from his waist. It was obvious that the jade pendant that had just been thrown out of the window was his, and he was obviously extremely angry. Gao Fengtian, who was standing opposite him, showed a wry smile on his face. Among the civil officials under Lu Fang, except for the Fan Nissen guarding Huzhou, the two of them were the ones with the highest qualifications. At present, they were so unreconcilable that they were doing whether to send troops to Huainan.

"Chen Zhanshu, Judge Gao is your colleague, but his opinions are different. How can you throw a jade pendant? Fortunately, it was not hurt, so I apologized to him quickly!" The person who spoke was Lu Fang, who was sitting in the upper head. Because his subordinates had a fierce dispute over whether to send troops or not, the subordinates who were from warriors were quarreling and fisted, so they simply turned to each other. Lu Fang had to summon Chen Yun and Gao Fengtian alone. Unexpectedly, Chen Yun's temper was so hot that he actually threw Gao Fengtian with his jade pendant, but fortunately he didn't hit him.

Hearing the Lord's rebuke, Chen Yun had to sing a fat oath to Gao Fengtian, but he refused to give in: "Just now, the officials are impatient, but this opportunity is too good. If God does not take it, they will suffer the consequences. At least they must take down Guangde County. This place overlooks Hangzhou and Huzhou, and points directly to our army's confidant. If Huainan is stationed with elite soldiers and generals, it will be a great trouble for the Lord in the future."

Gao Fengtian moved aside and did not accept Chen Yun's courtesy, and said loudly: "Don't be sorry for Chen Zhanshu. There was a collision in my words just now. You can't blame you for this matter. But you said you wanted to take down Guangde, and the new lord in Huainan is not a fool. How could you fight for this place? From then on, the war will be extended. Unless one of the two families has destroyed, there will be no end. He is in the upper reaches, and his army is sharp and his household registration is numerous. Moreover, our lord and the King of Wu are different from the king and the ministers. Before the lord's corpse is cold, he will raise an army to bully the widowed wife and weak son. How can it be reasonable? Yang Xingmi and his generals are quite kind, and the people of both Huai Rivers are even more reborn. Doing this will inspire the other party to share the same hatred and share the enemy. At that time, he regrets it."

Chen Yun snorted coldly, his face full of disdain: "I thought Gao Changshi was a hero of the world, but he didn't expect that he would be like a corrupt scholar. In the chaotic world, those with strong soldiers and strong horses can be the emperor, let alone the lord and Yang Xingmi were both Tang ministers. What's the difference between the master and the subordinates? What's more, we can raise an army to attack in the name of clearing the king and supporting the young master."

"Mr. Chen's words are wrong. If you say that the army is strong and the horse is strong, Sun Ru's army was extremely sharp back then, and the remaining veins were 'Heiyundu'; the 'Wu Yongdu' crossed the Yangtze River and Huai River. This shows that Yang Xingmi was defeated repeatedly, but he was defeated but not defeated. Guangde defeated him and eventually he was able to take advantage of the Jianghuai land. He was able to gain the Tao and lose the Tao, and the few helped the few helped. Such a distinction was clear that Chen Gong was well-known and knew a lot, especially he would not know. As for the name of clearing the king, Guangde was a place that Yang Wo personally led. How could he attack the king and directly led the county to clear the king and clean the king." Although Gao Fengtian was humble and polite on the surface, he showed his sharpness in his words and pointed at Chen Yun's key points. It was no wonder that Chen Yun was so incompetent just now.

Seeing that he could not defeat Gao Fengtian verbally, Chen Yun turned around and said to Lu Fang: "Lord, if Guangde doesn't take it for a day, Hangzhou will be uneasy. In such troubled times, everything else is false. Territory and military forces are important. You must not miss this opportunity!"

Seeing that the two important officials in the lower head were fighting, Lu Fang, the upper head, was also hesitant. The Guangde County mentioned by Chen Yun was a county of Xuanzhou, which was 160 miles east to Huzhou Prefecture, Zhejiang Province, 120 miles south to Anji Prefecture, Huzhou Prefecture, and 150 miles north to Liyang County, Jiangning Prefecture, and then headed east, passed Dusong Pass, and arrived at Lin'an County, Hangzhou, where you could directly cover the city of Hangzhou. Before Qian Miao died, Tian Wei and Li Shenfu sent troops to attack Hangzhou many times, all from

Guangde set out, either into Huzhou, or through Dusong Pass, and directly attacked Hangzhou. Qian Miao also sent troops to attack this place many times, burning the granaries, making it impossible for Huainan to use the place to accumulate food and military resources as a starting base for attacking his own side. The east side of the Lu Fang is now the sea, and the mighty army of the south side of Wang Shenzhi has eliminated the threat through marriage. The Jiangxi prefectures in the west are weak, and most of the adjacent Zhejiang provinces are mountains, which are difficult to cross.

The only threat to Yue is Huainan to the north, so his main defense focus is also in the north. Not only does it set up docks in the border areas, resettle military immigrants with high loyalty, deploy elite Liufang soldiers at key points in depth, and with the technologically advantageous naval army, Lu Fang was confident that he would repel the enemy troops from Changrun and the two states. However, Guangde County was like a spur, deeply wedged into the side and rear direction of Lu Fang, which not only put Huzhou, a key defense area, into the dilemma of being attacked by multiple sides, but also directly threatened the heart of Zhenhai Army, forcing Lu Fang to retain most of the mobile troops in Hangzhou to deal with the possible surprises of the opponent. In this way, once Huainan invades a large-scale invasion, the troops that were already at a disadvantage on the front line of Zhenhai Army will be even more stretched, so it is extremely necessary to seize Guangde even from the purpose of changing the defensive situation.

"But is this the best opportunity to send troops? Although Taimeng and Li Shenfu were both dead, Wang Maozhang was not a good-looking lamp. Can he quickly defeat the Huainan soldiers in Jiangnan before the reinforcements from Jiangbei arrive? Will it be as Gao Fengtian said that the appearance of his foreign enemy will become a cause for the elimination of internal conflicts in Huainan, and that would be a waste of rice. Should we wait or attack? All this depends on the specific situation within Huainan. If we have to make a correct judgment, we can obtain too little information. Unfortunately, Li Rui has obtained too little valuable information." Thinking of this, Lu Fang couldn't help but sigh.

Gao Fengtian and Chen Yun were both smart people. When they saw Lu Fang's expression, they knew that under the current circumstances, it was impossible for either party to convince the lord. Whoever could win in the end depends on which party's argument would be better supported by the information in the next step. However, now that Guangling is very strict, and there is no new information delivered for a while, the key is that Li Rui. The two of them looked at each other, then returned to their seats and sat down, thinking about how to convince Li Rui to express the information that supports their views.

When the three of them were thinking about each other, a civil servant came in from the back of the hall and whispered a few words in Lu Fang's ear. Lu Fang nodded and said in a deep voice: "Let them come in!" Then he said to Gao and Chen, "Person Li, who came from Guangling, came back from Huzhou and brought back a eunuch who crossed the river from Guangling with him, and said he had something important to report."

Gao Fengtian and Chen Yun's nerves immediately became tense. They realized almost at the same time that the winner would be decided immediately. The key was the eunuch who escaped with Li Rui. Both of them were racking their brains to think about how to pull the eunuch down without revealing the traces.

Lu Fang had long seen the behavior of Gao and Chen. No one could tell how much of the two quarrels were due to differences of opinion and how much was due to power struggles. However, as a superior, his attitude towards the quarrels of subordinates was also very subtle. Although he did not want to be quarreled like the Niu Li party dispute, he would only talk about the enemy and our enemies; but he did not want his subordinates to be in a group. His current attitude was to see everything in his eyes, keep it in his heart, and control it within a certain range.

At this time, the door of the outside opened, and the cold air from the outside suddenly rolled in, blowing on the three of them, and couldn't help but shivering. The civil servant just now led the two of them in. The man in front was Li Rui, who followed the half-white hair and withered face, was the old eunuch who came with him.

The two of them walked to Lu Fang and were about to lean over and kneel down to worship the big gift, but they heard Lu Fang laugh and said, "Sir Li, you and I are old friends, and today is not a formal occasion. This father-in-law is a person next to the late emperor. This big gift is just!"

When Li and Shi heard this, they looked at each other and leaned over to kneel down. Seeing this, Lu Fang asked the civil servants beside him to take two wooden benches and let them sit on them and talk. The two of them refused and had to sit down.

The two of them came all the way in the cold winter. It was fine with Li Rui. Shi Shude, a eunuch, had insufficient yang energy. At this time, his hands and feet were stiff and cold, and they were only in the chest and abdomen. When they entered the hall, the heat in the earth dragon rushed up and felt a warm feeling rushing upwards, indescribable comfort. For a moment, his hands and feet were a little itchy, and they couldn't help but reach out to scratch.
