At midnight, the world is filled with ink.

The Longbow Army camp was as stable as a rock, with numerous light and dark sentries in all directions, and various horse traps set up around the camp. Even Xie Lin did not have the guts to let the cavalry attack at night.

Tang Linfen hurriedly arrived at the commander's tent as if he was walking over the moon to catch the stars. After being meticulously inspected by the guards, he was allowed to enter. The tent was brightly lit by candlelight, and Tang Youzhi, Marquis of Jining, was wearing ordinary clothes, with his back to the door.

, looking at the Northern Route map hanging on the back wall in trance.

When Tang Linfen saw this, he stepped lightly and whispered: "Uncle, my nephew is here."

Tang Youzhi said without looking back: "There is a secret letter on the table, please read it first."

Tang Linfen's eyes narrowed, and he picked up the secret letter that was sealed with paint on the desk. There was only a piece of letter paper inside, and the writing was very concise, but it took him a long time to read it.

Tang Youzhi looked at the map on the wall and said leisurely: "The day before yesterday, you defended the Pei family in public, and tonight his letter was sent. If I didn't know who you are, maybe I would have thought that this was a scene staged by you together.

Good show."

Tang Linfen thought about the content of the letter in his mind, showed a wry smile and said: "Uncle, how dare your nephew be so presumptuous."

Tang Youzhi turned around, pointed to the chair next to him and asked his junior to sit down, and asked slowly: "Linfen, how sure do you think Pei Jiazi's plan is?"

Tang Linfen sat upright, facing the deep gaze of Marquis Jining, and said seriously: "Uncle, Lord Pei is in danger in the army. If you are not careful, it will be an irreversible outcome. Xie Lin is extremely sharp, as long as he lets him

caught one

If there is even the slightest chance, the entire Northern Front war situation will collapse. By that time, not to mention the military system here, not even the Longbow Camp can be saved. There are nearly 70,000 soldiers on the Northern Front, and these people will be under the impact of the Western Wu Iron Cavalry.

How much can you survive?”

Tang Youzhi remained silent.

Tang Linfen sighed softly: "It is our duty as soldiers to die on the battlefield, but if the Longgong Camp falls, the three prefectures in the north of Lingzhou will inevitably be exposed to the Xiwu cavalry. The most terrifying thing is not just this, Xie Lin

The cavalry in hand can completely ignore the south.

The war passed through the three prefectures in the north and directly entered the territory of Dengzhou and Qizhou. The 800 Xiwu cavalry who pretended to be Qingyu Mountain horse bandits were able to make the Lingzhou governor's office miserable. If they were replaced by 50,000 cavalry, I am afraid it would be a disaster.

A sinking situation.”

Tang Youzhi listened patiently, with an expression of curiosity gradually appearing on his face. He looked at Tang Linfen, who had a solemn expression, and felt deeply that he had a good sense in selecting this young man from the family.

The Tang family was previously unknown. Even though Tang Youzhi relied on his own abilities and the appreciation of a certain nobleman in Kyoto to reach his current position step by step, he was often frightened and disappointed because he had no successor.

Several of my sons were ineffective, and they indulged themselves in Zhangtai and horse racing all day long. They had been taught dozens of lessons, but to no avail.

If Tang Linfen had not gradually demonstrated his abilities, Jininghou Mansion would have become an inconspicuous record among the old papers a hundred years later, just like countless mansions of down-and-out nobles in Kyoto.

"Uncle?" Tang Linfen shouted softly.

Tang Youzhi came back to his senses and said with a smile: "From what you said, you don't agree with this strategy."

Tang Linfen knew that his cultivation was still shallow and he might not be able to hide it in front of this elder, so he said bluntly: "If Sir Pei can achieve his early goals, this will be the only chance to win on the northern battlefield!"

Grain matter

"The only one?" Tang Youzhi repeated the word calmly.

Tang Linfen gradually became excited and solemnly said: "Yes, this is the only chance. Uncle, now the Hucheng and Guping camps are no longer able to go north, and the Beijing troops brought by Cheng'an Hou Lu Min have also moved out of Nanshan Village.

At this time, the only people we can rely on are ourselves and Lord Pei

Although his strategy is very dangerous, from the overall perspective, as long as he can defeat Schelling - not to eat his 130,000 troops, but as long as he can defeat his main force, the situation on the northern front will be completely worry-free

.At that time, we can even divide our troops and go south to support them."

Tang Youzhi did not agree or refuse immediately. He asked calmly: "In your eyes, what kind of person is Pei Yue?"

Tang Linfen was stunned and replied: "Uncle, my nephew has never met him, but he knows his past from Gu Mang's mouth and has carefully analyzed the things he did in Lingzhou, so my nephew thinks he is

A character who is both calm and crazy at the same time.”

"This evaluation is appropriate. I haven't talked to Gu Mang, but if you look at Pei Yue's behavior in Lingzhou, you can probably guess that he is not a son of a powerful person who lives his life step by step. Such a person must have been in a difficult situation when he was young.

Once he has a certain amount of power in his hands, he will often act extremely crazy. As for whether he is courageous or unscrupulous, it is not yet clear."

"What my uncle said is absolutely true. Nowadays, our military strength is not a secret in Xie Lin's eyes. The Hidden Front Guards are considered as reinforcements that suddenly appeared. However, I am afraid that Xie Lin will not be able to tell the truth from the trick he is going to play next."

After Tang Youzhi was silent for a moment, he took a deep breath and said: "If we lose this battle, I'm afraid you and I won't be able to leave Lingzhou alive, so I will write a letter and send it to Kyoto to trouble my close friend to help take care of my family. But if I can

Win, you can follow Pei Yue from now on."

Tang Linfen was shocked and said with doubts on his face: "Uncle, my nephew has never -"

Tang Youzhi waved his hand, interrupted his words, and said calmly: "You are a thousand-mile horse of the Tang family. The help I can provide is limited, but Pei Yue is different. If you really let him do this, his future will be limitless.

Although you are older than him, don't care too much about these face issues. As long as you can shine on the family, it will not be in vain that I have valued you all these years."

There was no one else in the handsome tent. After the uncle and nephew looked at each other, Tang Linfen said with a heavy face but resolutely: "My nephew will obey my uncle's instructions."

"Burn that letter. Don't let any third party know about it."

"yes."

In the sudden rise of a ball of flame, Tang Youzhi's eyes were firm, without any hesitation.

The next day, the Longbow Army moved westward as a whole, continuously narrowing the distance between them and Xishan Village while maintaining a complete formation.

This naturally quickly attracted the attention of the Xiwu army.

After Xie Lin heard the urgent report from the scouts, what he was thinking about was the battle report he had received before. A large force of cavalry appeared at Guyuan Village. His three thousand light cavalry retreated in panic after losing their troops. There was no news about the five thousand infantry.

It can be called the biggest defeat since the beginning of the Northern Front War.

Before Xie Lin could dispatch his troops to deal with the mysterious cavalry, Tang Youzhi, who had always been conservative with his troops, suddenly sent out troops.
