Nanda Ying Campus.

Pei Yue thought about the methods of the man in the palace.

Emperor Kaiping obviously knew that he would definitely come to Nanying to recruit people. This was not a big deal. After all, his relationship with Gu Liang was openly close, and almost no one in Kyoto knew about it. The interesting thing about this matter is that

The emperor's attitude towards Li Pingzhong clearly meant to suppress and warn him. No wonder Li Pingzhong did not dare to get angry in front of Pei Yue.

Although Li Zijun's move of colluding with the Western Wu swordsmen to ambush Pei Yue was indeed stupid, this alone did not seem to be the reason why Emperor Kaiping suppressed Li Bingzhong one after another.

Thinking of what he saw and heard at the two court meetings, an idea gradually formed in Pei Yue's mind.

Is the emperor dissatisfied with Wang Pingzhang? That's why he treats Li Bingzhong, who he carried with one hand, like this?

Pei Yue couldn't understand. Wasn't Wang Pingzhang the emperor's most powerful assistant? Without the support of this person, Liu Zheng might not have been able to ascend the throne. If he wanted to kill the donkey, more than ten years would be enough for him to weaken Wang Pingzhang's authority.

There is no need to promote him to be the first person in the Liang army.

Maybe something happened in the past few years, so the emperor changed his mind.

Pei Yue was so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn't notice the hundreds of elite soldiers standing on the school field.

Wei Xiao coughed slightly and said: "Brother Pei, Nanying has selected a total of 450 people from each guard, and there should be many faces you are familiar with among them."

Pei Yue looked up after hearing the words, and soon a look of surprise appeared on his face.

In the autumn of the third year of Kaiping, in order to avenge the tragic deaths of the villagers in Luliuzhuang, he took the initiative to offer advice to Guliang to suppress the bandits. Then he trained with two thousand elites selected from Nanying for more than 20 days. Most of these people survived after entering the Hengduan Mountains.

After coming down, they were much luckier than those soldiers in Xiying who were ambushed by Chen Xizhi.

In particular, the twenty soldiers with good martial arts followed Pei Yue in pursuit of Chen Xizhi, and eventually received very good credits and rewards.

At this moment, the twenty people were standing at the front of the queue, looking at Pei Yue with faint excitement in their eyes.

"Brother Wei, is this inappropriate?" Pei Yue looked moved, but at the same time he could not hide his hesitation.

He clearly remembered that these twenty people, including some of the soldiers behind them, were sentry officers before they were selected. After their achievements in suppressing bandits, several of them were promoted to guerrillas, which is his current official position.

Although these people have a very good impression of Pei Yue, they can't be allowed to give up their official positions and become a big soldier with him, right?

Wei Xiao shook his head meaningfully, turned around and shouted to hundreds of soldiers on the school field: "Today in front of Brother Pei, you tell him yourself, am I forcing you to come here?"

"no!"

"Then are you willing to follow Brother Pei and live and die with him?"

"willing!"

"Our soldiers in the south camp are all good, but I want to remind you that from now on Pei Yue will be your general. What should I do if there are those who are greedy for life, afraid of death, disobey the general's orders, and are half-hearted?"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The sound shook the sky and lasted for a long time.

Pei Yue was stunned.

The eyes of these people were so firm and simple, enough to erase all the hesitations in his heart.

Wei Xiao approached him and whispered: "The commander-in-chief had already started making preparations before leaving the capital. These people were selected by him personally. They can be said to be the best among the best. He knows that you have plans to join the army, but there is no such thing in Dingguo Mansion."

Maybe build your own team

Of course, there is no problem with the loyalty of the soldiers around you. There may be some who are talented, but after all, they became monks halfway and lacked the background. These people are all veterans of my southern camp. As long as you use them properly, they will definitely become the sharpest in the world.

's spear."

Pei Yue was shocked, and his eyes turned slightly red at this moment.

Wei Xiao patted him on the shoulder and said: "You fought side by side with them last year, which has laid a solid foundation. With the commander's personal instructions, plus my secret influence this year, they will not disobey you. The rest

You have to make your own way down."

Pei Yue didn't know that this was a generous gift. He said excitedly: "Uncle treats me with great kindness, but how could he know what happened today?"

Wei Xiao smiled and said: "The commander-in-chief handed these people into my hands before he left, and asked me to hand them over to you at the right time. I think now is the most appropriate time."

Pei Yue looked at his slightly frivolous smile and recalled that during the military meeting in Chenguan Town, he had a huge quarrel with Pang Bin, Tan Sheng and others from the Western Camp. At that time, he thought that the cavalry commander was an arrogant and shallow person.

Man, only now did Pei Yue realize how ridiculous his idea was. With Gu Liang's rigor and emphasis on military affairs, how could he choose a man who only knew how to be arrogant and domineering to be the cavalry commander?

Today is more proof that Wei Xiao's status in Gu Liang's heart is more than just a cavalry commander.

He calmed down, bowed to Wei Xiao and said, "Thank you, Mr. Wei."

Wei Xiao accepted his gift calmly and smiled softly and said: "Pei Yue, be careful outside and don't fall into other people's schemes easily. No matter what kind of hardships and crises you encounter, as long as you can save your life, you can always succeed.

Waiting for the day of revenge."

"I would like to be taught."

"Just take them away. I still have to guard this place for the commander, so I won't send them away."

"yes."

Pei Yue leaned over to see each other off until Wei Xiao's figure disappeared from the distance. He slowly straightened up, looked at the hundreds of sharp soldiers standing tall and tall like pine trees on the school field, slowly raised his right arm, and said loudly:

"All officers and men listen to the order and follow me out of the camp!"

"yes!"

That night, Pei Yue returned to Zhongshanzi Mansion and looked at the two large boxes of name cards brought up by Ye Qi, and couldn't help but frown slightly.

Although Emperor Kaiping asked him to select 500 people, the 450 people from Nanying were enough. It seemed that there was no need to recruit these noble sons to avoid affecting the atmosphere of the army.

Ye Qi has nothing to do with this and will not express his opinion easily.

On the contrary, Mr. Xi, who was temporarily living in the mansion these days, gently advised: "Brother Yue, let's choose some people from among them."

Pei Yue looked over puzzled.

Mr. Xi smiled and said: "Do you think those real dandies are willing to serve as your top soldiers?"

Pei Yue suddenly realized, scratched his head and said, "I am thinking the wrong way."

Mr. Xi said: "Most of these mansions that are willing to submit their names are in decline, otherwise they would not be so sick that they would seek medical treatment and come to you, a little guerrilla. Although most of them have little power, if you can gather these people,

Having someone by your side can be a source of help."

"I understand, thank you sir."

Pei Yue put the name cards on the table and looked through them one by one. When he found a familiar name, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Xining Bo Cui Hu? He is actually willing to send his son here?"

Cui Hu was the black and powerful man who helped Pei Rong submit the impeachment memorial at the court meeting last year. His son's name is Cui Meng, and he has a close relationship with Pei Yue. It was that time that Li Zijun came to Luliu Manor to cause trouble.

At that time, the unlucky guy was stabbed in the forearm by Pei Yue with a dagger.

Everyone in the room looked at him in confusion.

Pei Yue found a few more weird names. He shook his head and took out fifty copies of these names. Then he stretched and said, "It's done!"

He looked at Ye Qi with some amusement. If Mr. Xi hadn't been there, he would have rushed up to give him a bear hug at this moment.

Now I can only think about it.

Ye Qi glanced at him angrily, then turned around and left.

A few days later, at Shiliting in the southern suburbs of Kyoto, the place where Pei Yue once bid farewell to Gu Fan, he rode the sacred horse that Pei Cheng had given him, waved to the farewell crowd in the distance, and then resolutely headed south with hundreds of elite soldiers.

Today is the third day of November in the fourth year of Kaiping.
