There are two stone bridges on the Beitiao River, which can connect Hucheng and the northern military camp. They were previously in the hands of Xie Lin. Now only the bare bridges are left, and the surrounding area is peaceful. There are no traces of the Western Wu cavalry.

.

After the defeat of Khe Sanh, Xie Lin led his army back all the way to Gancheng in the northwest, where he had originally stationed his troops.

Pei Yue led the Tibetan front guards to pursue them all the way, but they did not pursue them relentlessly. After chasing them for more than 200 miles, they turned south. Their gains along the way were rich enough. In addition to taking the war horses for their own use, the rest

All the spoils of war were left on the Gaoyang Plain, and were collected by the Longbow infantry behind them.

Now as long as they cross the stone bridge in front of them, the Tibetan Front Guards, whose army has doubled, will leave the northern front battlefield and officially enter the southern front battlefield. Their opponents will change from Xie Lin, who is good at mobile warfare, to Zhang Qingbai, who uses troops steadily and step by step. The latter is obviously more difficult

The enemy he was dealing with, especially Zhang Qingbai's men, had strong morale and had an absolute advantage in strength.

The army had its own rules for crossing the river. Fu Hongzhi commanded dozens of teams of scouts to go over first, and then spread out in a fan shape toward the south to collect the most effective intelligence for Pei Yue.

Then there was the vanguard front army led by Chen Xianda.

Wei Rui stood next to Pei Yue and briefly stated his worries. The focus was on the impetuous hearts of the army after the victory of Khe Sanh.

Pei Yue listened quietly and did not immediately call Chen Xianda over to reprimand him because he had expected this. He raised his hand and patted Wei Rui on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. When you win a battle, you must allow the soldiers to do it."

Be happy for a few days. You are now the commander of the Zangfengwei Central Army.

, there is no difference between them and my deputies. You can use my name to restrain them, but you don’t need to be too strict. Although arrogant soldiers will be defeated, soldiers must always have some gangsterism and arrogance, so that they can gradually develop an indestructible force.

Morale.”

Wei Rui hesitated for a moment, but finally did not continue to persuade.

At this moment, Fu Hongzhi hurriedly rode back.

"Sir, a group of cavalry appeared on the west side of the south bank. There are about a hundred people. They call themselves the Hucheng Cavalry. The leader said that he is Pei Cheng, the commander of Jingyu Camp, and he wants to see the lord." Fu Hongzhi clasped his fists and bowed his head.

Pei Yue was slightly stunned, and looked at Ye Qi who looked over after hearing this sentence not far away.

After a while, Pei Yue led a hundred soldiers, under the close protection of Ye Qi, to the south bank of Beitiao River. After traveling west for more than ten miles, he saw Pei Cheng who had dismounted and was waiting.

There are several familiar faces beside the heir of Dingguo Mansion, now the third-class Uncle Dingyuan. Pei Yue still remembers their names, namely Yin Dao, the son of Yin Wei, the Marquis of Qi Yun, and Gu Zong, the son of Gu Zhang, the uncle of Yongchang.

, Cheng De, the son of Jinchuan Bo Chengyou, and Su Ping, the son of Nan'an Bo Suwu, and two strange young men. One is tall and tall like a giant beast, and the other has a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks and a mean face.

When they were still thirty or forty feet away, Pei Yue tightened his reins, and the soldiers behind him moved in unison. This move alone made the expressions of the Hucheng cavalry on the opposite side become solemn.

When Yin Dao saw Pei Yue's action of stopping his horse, his eyes became slightly gentler, no longer as cold and scrupulous as before. The same was true for other martial arts disciples.

Only Pei Cheng, who always had a calm expression, led Yin Dao and others to greet them.

Pei Yue left his soldiers where they were and only brought Ye Qi and Deng Zai forward.

"The commander of the front army of Jingyu Camp, Pei Cheng, was ordered by Marshal Xiao, the Marquis of Xiangcheng, to conduct camp control in Hucheng. He came here to meet with Imperial Envoy Pei to inform him of any urgent military situation."

After the two parties approached, Pei Cheng saluted meticulously and said.

The cold wind of late autumn blew across his cheeks. Pei Yue looked at the other party's behavior and couldn't find any fault in it. He was in a daze for a moment. Is this the same young master Dingguo who was so smug by him with just a few words?

Years pass by, and a few years pass by.

Things have long since changed.

Pei Yue took a breath and replied calmly: "Please tell me."

Pei Cheng straightened up, looked at his younger brother who was already much taller than him, and said calmly: "Marshal Xiao ordered me to tell you that when I heard that the Northern Front won a great victory at Khe Sanh, Xie Lin's defeated troops returned to Gancheng, he was very worried.

I am grateful to Marquis Jining and Pei Qincha for their actions in turning the tide, but the current battle situation on the southern front is extremely complicated, and the Tibetan front guards cannot act rashly."

Pei Yue noticed that there was a terrible wound on his face, which was far more serious than the whip Wang Yong received back then, and there was gauze tied on his left chest. He couldn't help but sigh: "You also participated in the battle of Lulong Village."

war?"

It is not difficult for him to show off his mask in his two lives, but the entanglement with the Pei family is too complicated. Pei Rong is still imprisoned in Shanglin Prison, and Li's life is worse than death. Although both of them brought their own fault,

But after all, they are Pei Cheng's biological parents, and Pei Yue really can't play the role of brother, friend and brother at the moment.

Pei Cheng's expression was calm, which was very different from previous years. At least there was no trace of arrogance in his eyebrows anymore. He nodded slowly and said: "I was ordered to accompany the army to support the Beijing camp, but I just ran into Xie Lin's cavalry from the northern front. Wait until

We repelled Schelling's cavalry and were defeated on the frontal battlefield, so we could only desperately cover their retreat to Guping Camp."

Pei Yue was silent. Now that he has been on the battlefield for a long time, he can certainly taste from Pei Cheng's calm words the brutality of the battlefield on the southern front at that time. This was different from the northern front. Xie Lin retreated on his own initiative, although there was also an element of coercion by Pei Yue.

But his military strength is not weaker than

Liang Jun also had nearly 20,000 cavalry, so he could barely maintain the formation after the withdrawal. However, Lu Min's own military strength was weak, and he was almost defeated. If the Hucheng cavalry hadn't fought to save him, I'm afraid the Cheng'an Marquis would not have been able to do so.

Can't return to Guping camp.

In this battle, Hucheng's 8,000 fine cavalry lost more than 5,000 people.

Pei Yue looked away from Pei Cheng, looked at the others, and asked in a deep voice: "Where are Liu Ben and Zhu Ding?"

He had a deep impression on these two people. On the day of Taijun Pei's birthday party, it was these two noisy guys who came to embarrass him on Pei Cheng's behalf.

Pei Cheng was slightly startled, his eyes turned red for a moment, and he said softly: "Let's go."

Pei Yue was stunned.

He does not have the temperament of a holy mother, but after looking into the past, those dandies, including Yin Dao, only had verbal disputes with him, and there was no excessive bullying. After all, he only had one face with them.

After that, Pei Cheng took them to the Western Region and never saw them again. Although he didn't like these powerful children, he was not to the point where he wanted them to die.

Thinking of this, Pei Yue said to everyone sincerely: "My condolences."

"Thank you."

Pei Cheng responded, seemingly unwilling to discuss this topic, and changed the topic and asked, "Where are you going to go next?"
