Quiet is an adjective, and there are many words with similar meanings, but no matter which one, it seems difficult to use it in the words and sentences describing the Goyang Plain.

The territory here is vast and the scenery is magnificent. The northern wind blows over the snow-covered areas. When you look far away, your heart is filled with excitement.

But to Pei Yue at this moment, the place not only seemed quiet, it even reached the point of death.

On the seventh day after the division of troops, his location was north of Jiming Village and east of Wufeng Village. It was only more than a hundred miles away from the camp where Zhang Qingbai had previously set up. If his cavalry charged at high speed, it would only take an hour. But as mentioned above

In other words, the Gaoyang Plain now presented an extremely strange atmosphere, which made him repeatedly think about his next move.

It is said that this is now an area occupied by the Western Wu people, and they should be facing danger at any time. However, the actual situation is completely opposite. The Western Wu people seem to not be able to see these Liang cavalry at all.

Zhang Qingbai's force distribution is not a secret. Seventy thousand people approached the Guping camp through multiple deployments, thirty thousand people besieged Jiming Village, which was still in the hands of Daliang, and the remaining fifty thousand people were stationed at Lulong, Daokou, Xishui and other military villages.

Pei Yue's initial goal was to keep an eye on the Xiwu people's food road. Although the food road in the rear of Xiwu was very safe because it was protected by 40,000 cavalry stationed near Hucheng, there was no way to go from Daokou Village to Guping Camp.

The two directions of Zangfengwei and Jimingzhai are the key targets of the Tibetan Front Guard.

According to Pei Yue's plan, the Seventh Route Cavalry did not approach the Guping Camp or Jiming Village to prevent being entangled by the Western Wu army. However, repeated sneak attacks and attacks on their baggage teams could, on the one hand, satisfy their own supplies, and on the other hand

It was to disrupt the morale of the two armies in Xiwu.

Everything went well in the first three days. The 3,000 cavalry led by Pei Yue captured two Xiwu baggage teams, killed and set fire to them, and left easily without being caught up by the Xiwu cavalry. However, starting from the fourth day, the situation suddenly changed.

Just as Pei Yue felt now, the vast Gaoyang Plain suddenly became quiet.

It's an eerie tranquility.

While Pei Yue was thinking, others did not dare to disturb him. Only Ye Qi could step forward and ask gently: "Is it very troublesome?"

Pei Yue shook his head and said: "I want to attract Zhang Qingbai's attention, so that I can buy Cheng Anhou some time. Although the military master performed very poorly in the Battle of Lulong, I hope this is just a momentary negligence on his part.

"

Ye Qi said worriedly: "Is the Marquis Cheng'an really useless?"

Pei Yue smiled bitterly and said: "Even if our Emperor is good at imperial thinking, he will not appoint mediocre people in key positions. Marquis Cheng'an has a brilliant resume and has experienced the test of the battlefield. Even if Zhang Qingbai is the most practical among the four generals of Xiwu

Ranked first, logically there shouldn't be such a one-sided situation. Ye Qi, to tell you the truth, I suspected that there was something wrong with the Marquis Cheng'an when I was still in Kyoto."

Ye Qi looked at him in shock and murmured: "What do you want to say?"

The two of them could already read each other's eyes. Pei Yue nodded and said, "I suspect that Lu Min is related to what happened back then. It was either the case of the Xian family in the Duke of Chu's mansion or the massacre of the Chen family."

Ye Qi's expression became solemn. Even if she was not interested in the court structure, she still knew how important Lu Min's position was.

if……

She felt a little chilly.

Pei Yue sighed softly: "I hope my guess is wrong, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."

Ye Qi hesitated and said: "Although Lu Min is the commander-in-chief of the Western Army, you said before that the commander-in-chief of the Fourth Battalion and the Marquis of Xiangcheng in Hucheng both have certain independent powers. How dare he lead them to rebel?"

Pei Yue shook his head slightly and said: "Rebellion is obviously a joke. Lu Min is not that stupid. The most important thing is that he does not need to rebel. He only needs to use Zhang Qingbai's continuous offensive to consume all the effective strength of the Daliang frontier army.

It is tantamount to destroying a leg of the imperial court."

The Three Kingdoms stand together and look at each other. If the Western Army is destroyed by Zhang Qingbai's front, how long can Daliang, which has only one leg left, survive?

Ye Qi was completely shocked by Pei Yue's bold speculation. She could not even imagine what it would be like.

"That shouldn't be the case, right?" She forced a smile.

Pei Yue said with emotion: "Of course I don't hope this will happen, but Wuwei Hou Ningzhong is Lu Min's confidant. From Lu Min's point of view, why should a loser be the coach of Guping Camp? This is one of them, Ning Zhong that time

I was puzzled by his rashness in going into battle. He was clearly aiming for defeat. If this defeat can still be blamed on Ning Zhong, a good-for-nothing, then what about the second time? Lu Min suffered a loss in the first battle.

Twenty thousand Beijing troops, what a ridiculous and terrifying defeat this is!"

He paused and said solemnly: "I mentioned Chen Xizhi to you a few days ago, and then I was thinking about why the fog came about. The Hengduan Mountains are hundreds of miles away from Kyoto. This distance is not short, but it is by no means a long way.

Commander, if you want to bypass the attention of the Beijing camp and develop for so many years, can you do it just by relying on a person like Pei Rong?"

Ye Qi asked: "Do you doubt Lu Min?"

Pei Yue nodded and said: "At that time, I didn't know enough about the Daliang military. I always thought that this kind of thing was not outrageous. But later I gradually understood that without the support and protection of a big shot, how could Chen Xizhi escape the custody of Taishitai Pavilion?"

Cha? There are not many big shots with such abilities. Apart from Wang Pingzhang, only Lu Min seems to be qualified. But Chen Xizhi’s only intention is to kill Wang Pingzhang, so how can he cooperate with him? From this point of view, the answer seems to be self-evident. "

Although Pei Yue's inferences were mostly guesses without evidence, Ye Qi believed in his judgment.

"It's very troublesome." She was a little worried for her lover.

"The most troublesome thing is that Zhang Qingbai doesn't pay attention to us bugs at all. He clearly uses the strategy of strengthening the wall and clearing the wilderness to turn us into wild ghosts wandering on the plains. Then he completes his success in one battle, directly destroying the Guping camp with an army of 70,000, and takes advantage of the trend to march eastward."

There are only more than 10,000 Xiang troops in the hands of Xue Tao in the state. Facing the tiger and wolf-like cavalry of Xiwu, I am afraid that they will not even dare to fight."

Pei Yue gritted his teeth and said, his face was stained by the continuous exposure to wind and food, and his cheeks were much thinner, but his eyes were brighter, like a hungry wolf in the dark.

"Report! Commander Fu of the right army appeared more than ten miles away to the east and is leading his army towards here." A scout quickly rode up and said loudly.

"Let's go and hear what Hiroyuki has discovered."

Pei Yue and Ye Qi urged the horse to go eastward. Deng Zai led his soldiers to follow closely, and the large army followed slowly.

The news Fu Hongzhi brought was simple, but it shocked Pei Yue beyond words.
