The death of Guo Rong meant that the situation was over, and the Western Wu army could only abandon a large number of siege equipment and retreat in embarrassment under the cover of Qingqi.

Pei Yue said to Wei Rui: "Follow us with five hundred cavalry and ask them not to retreat easily. At the same time, be careful of the enemy's ambush."

Wei Rui nodded and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I understand."

Chen Xianda on the side looked envious. Although the Xiwu army was numerically superior, their morale had dropped to the lowest point and could not even exert 10% of its usual strength. At this time, leading the troops in pursuit could gain some credit, but he also

I understand that my personality may not be suitable for this. After all, I am not as mature and steady as Wei Rui.

The battlefield was in a mess. Pei Yue turned around and saw Qin Xian leading his troops towards this side.

"Brother!" He hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and jumped off his mount when he was more than ten feet away.

"Brother Yue!"

Qin Xian had never been so excited as he was today. When he led five hundred cavalry around, he saw at a glance that the leader of this mysterious cavalry turned out to be Pei Yue. Although they had not seen each other for two years and could only rely on letters to communicate, but that

The friendship and tacit understanding never faded away. He knew what Pei Yue was going to do, so he led his team forward without hesitation to block the Xiwu Qingqi that rushed back.

Pei Yue looked at the warm smile on his face, and felt sincere joy in his heart.

I still remember the first time we met at the birthday banquet of Pei Taijun in the third year of Kaiping. At that time, Pei Yue was just a concubine that no one cared about, and Qin Xian and the other three were just silent disciples of the declining generals. Times have changed, and now the former is

Viscount Imperial Envoy, the latter was the commander of an army. The scene of being crowded and ignored at the banquet has long passed.

Their identities are changing and their experiences are growing, but even if they haven't seen each other for two years, the friendship between them is still deep.

Qin Xian stepped forward and put his arms around Pei Yue's shoulders, looked at his brother who was now much taller than him, and said with emotion: "I knew you came to Lingzhou, and I just thought that I wouldn't have a chance to meet you. I didn't expect that you would

Show up here! Brother Yue, if you didn't come today, we brothers might not have a chance to see each other again."

Hearing what he said was so serious, Pei Yue also said with some emotion: "Brother, what are you talking about? How can those Xiwu people hurt your life?"

Qin Xian smiled heartily, looked at the generals behind Pei Yue, and asked curiously: "Why are you here?"

Pei Yue smiled and said, "It's a long story."

Qin Xian patted his shoulder hard and said: "Go back to the village and tell me slowly, that boy Xue Meng misses you very much."

"Why am I not?" Pei Yue liked Xue Meng's straightforward temperament very much. It would be easy to deal with such a person.

He asked the defeated soldiers of the three villages to stay and destroy the siege equipment of the Xiwu people, and together with the 500 cavalry brought out by Qin Xian, they cleaned the battlefield. In addition to weapons and arrows, the heads of the Xiwu people were the most important military merit.

The evidence must naturally be cut off and sealed with lime. This may seem too barbaric and cruel, but it is a very common behavior in the wars of this era. Some greedy armies will even cut off the enemy's bones during the battle.

The head hangs on the waist like a devil from hell.

As for the corpses with their heads cut off, villagers from the village would come out to bury them to prevent them from becoming a plague.

On the way back to the stronghold, Pei Yue smiled and said, "Brother, these people are all my subordinates."

He first briefly narrated the origin of the Zangfeng Guards, then introduced Meng Longfu, Fu Hongzhi and Chen Xianda in turn. Of course, he did not forget Wei Rui, who led the troops to monitor and harass the retreat of the Western Wu army. Finally, he pointed at Dong Da and said:

"His name is Dong Da, an old man from Daokou Village. When the village fell, he escaped with hundreds of people."

Qin Xian looked slightly surprised and said, "Are you Dong Da from Daokou Village?"

Dong Da looked slightly unnatural, nodded and said: "Being humble is Dong Da."

Qin Xian looked at him a few more times, then smiled and said, "He is quite a man."

Pei Yue knew in his heart that there might be a story in it, but Qin Xian didn't continue, so he didn't ask on the spot.

A group of people came to the east gate of Jiming Village and saw Xue Meng standing outside the city gate from a distance.

"Brother Yue! Lao Xue misses you so much!"

His voice was extremely loud, but also had an affectionate tone. Everyone couldn't help but laugh. Qin Xian even laughed and cursed: "This good guy, he doesn't have a proper appearance all day long."

Pei Yue did not laugh, but was a little moved.

If the defenders of Jiming Village were not Qin Xian and Xue Meng, would he still take the risk and rush to defeat the enemy?

Pei Yue thought about this issue carefully on the way here. He had eaten a thousand Qingqi from Xiwu in the north of Daokou Village and then gathered the defeated troops in the three villages. These things were not risky. At least he could ensure that he would escape unscathed when danger arose.

However, this time with two thousand cavalry to break the formation, any slight negligence will lead to extremely serious consequences.

His final answer was no.

So seeing Xue Meng's true feelings at this moment, he felt very comforted.

"Brother Xue, how come I haven't seen you lose weight in the two years since I came to the border?" Pei Yue stepped forward and teased with a smile.

Xue Meng touched his broad and shiny forehead and said in a rough voice: "Who told me to have a good appetite? We haven't seen you for two years. Brother Yue, you are so promising now. Don't forget about me, old Xue!"

Qin Xian frowned and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Pei Yue shook his head and said: "Brother, I think it's good for Brother Xue to be so magnanimous."

Qin Xian was relieved in his heart, but still scolded Xue Meng: "Brainless idiot, if Brother Yue had forgotten you, would he still risk his life to save you today?"

Xue Meng scratched his head awkwardly and said: "Brother is right, I am just a pig brain."

Pei Yue briefly introduced his subordinates, and after meeting each other, they all entered the city together.

Walking into Jiming Village and arriving at Xicheng where the war was fierce, Pei Yue's expression became very solemn.

The garrison soldiers were collecting the corpses of their comrades. Their blood was boiling during the fight, and their hearts were so excited that they didn't care too much. At this time, they calmed down and looked at the familiar faces lying on the ground without breathing. They couldn't help but think of this morning.

I also had a fight with someone among them, and I talked to someone last night, and then the flood of memories can easily drown me.

Some young soldiers could not control their emotions at all, and tears fell down their faces.

Similar scenes were happening all over the city wall, and Pei Yue would naturally feel very heavy when he saw this scene.

He felt he should do something.

"Let's go to my place and rest for a while."

Qin Xian noticed that Pei Yue's mood was not right and reached out to pat him on the shoulder.

Pei Yue turned to look at him and said slowly: "Brother, there is something I want to discuss with you."
