More than fifty miles north of Daokou Village, the Tibetan Guard Cavalry was resting near a vast forest. The soldiers took out the water and dry food from their bags and gathered in groups to fill their stomachs.

In the afternoon, they were overtaken by the enemy. Guo Qiyun, who was eager to do meritorious service, led the cavalry of Kuidou Camp. After the two sides fought for a while, the distance widened again. It was not that Pei Yue did not want to fight to eat these 5,000 people, but he knew that there were still 10,000 cavalry behind them.

, so I can only stay away for the time being.

Pei Yue sat casually on the loess, with Fu Hongzhi and Tang Linfen on both sides. As for the three commanders of the Jinshui Cavalry, they were a little further away. They were more in awe of the young commander than close to him, and did not dare to be like Fu and Tang.

Relaxed and at ease.

Tang Linfen gnawed on the dry biscuits, and from time to time he picked up the water bottle and took a few sips. After eating and drinking, he wiped his mouth with his dirty-looking sleeves. He looked up at Pei Yue chewing slowly and asked curiously: "Sir, sir."

, are all these military skills taught by Mr. Xi?"

Pei Yue smiled slightly, and Fu Hongzhi next to him said sternly: "Your Majesty only studied the art of war and martial arts strategy from Mr. Xi for one year, mainly relying on his hard study and practice day after day, and fighting on the battlefield.

Enlightenment.”

Tang Linfen stood in awe.

He learned about Pei Yue's life experience from Gu Mang. Such a wealthy concubine who was in a difficult situation was not knocked down by the malice and humiliation. Instead, he struggled to get up from the mud and walked step by step to where he is today. In addition to Mr. Xi's teachings,

Who can understand how much he has paid? The most important thing is that he must have excellent talent, but it is a pity that Pei Rong is just a blind man, and even his own son cannot understand it.

Before Tang Linfen was about to praise him, Pei Yue first glared at Fu Hongzhi, then shook his head slightly and said: "I studied with my husband for two years, and he taught me everything he had to teach me without any reservation. I am what I am today."

Thanks to Mr.

"Your Majesty is too humble."

After being choked back, Tang Linfen praised a little dryly, and then continued to ask: "Sir, I have been thinking hard about your strategy for the past two days. I have no disrespect in my heart, but I don't understand why you can

Are you sure how the situation will change later?"

Pei Yue chuckled and said: "We are all brothers. Don't use honorifics in the future. Just call you and me equally. Otherwise, how will you let Hongzhi and the others deal with themselves?"

It was not that Tang Linfen was born to like to be humble and cowardly. It was just that Tang Youzhi repeatedly told him to be respectful to Pei Yue. At this time, he was naturally happy to follow Pei Yue's advice. He nodded and said: "I will obey the Lord's instructions."

Pei Yue skipped this section and said slowly: "I told you before that Zhang Qingbai is very confident. This is a character he has developed over decades and will not change in just a few months. I want to

That’s what we take advantage of.”

Not only Tang Linfen and Fu Hongzhi were sitting upright and listening attentively, but the three Jinshui Cavalry commanders also came over. They were in awe of this young dignitary but also a little curious. They wanted to know how he played with the Zhennan University of Xiwu.

General.

"This game starts after the victory on the northern front." Pei Yue took a sip of water and continued: "Taishitai Pavilion gave me a detailed information, recording Zhang Qingbai's life.

It went smoothly, and he even won a real victory in the hands of Mr. Pei. From then on, his official career was smooth and he did not encounter any obstacles, so I concluded that under his calm appearance, he was confident and conceited."

"I did not return to Linqing from Lingzhou, but crossed the Beitiao River directly from the north line to the south. The most important purpose was to confirm my guess. The troops were divided into seven groups to attack the Wu army's grain road. Zhang Qingbai was not affected by this.

Instead, he took advantage of the critical situation in the Guping camp to force me to lead the rescue. At that time, I confirmed that he was a person who would not be affected by external objects. But I did not expect that the cavalry he hid was so powerful that three thousand of his colleagues

It is my crime to die in battle."

Speaking of this, Pei Yue's tone was slightly desolate and gloomy.

Everyone tried to dissuade him, but it was hard to do so. At the same time, they felt a little moved in their hearts. In today's era when one general's achievements are so great that his bones are withered, it is rare for a general to blame himself like Pei Yue.

Pei Yue smiled bitterly and changed the subject: "After Lu Min committed suicide, I had a plan in mind. Zhang Qingbai would definitely attack the Guping Camp, so I took advantage of his idea. The Tibetan Front Guard left Gaoyang Plain in the west.

At that time, I asked Marshal Tang to return to the northern front and integrate all military camps.

With the troops of the main camp, go south along the Beidian River and ambush in the hidden place on the south bank. At the same time, ask Uncle Dingjun to take the Jinshui infantry to hide in the rift valley and can go north at any time. As long as the time is right, the Guping garrison will

If the bow army and the Jin Shui army attack at the same time, Zhang Qingbai will definitely be defeated."

Although he said it very simply, this game of chess was obviously very complicated, and everyone was deep in thought.

After a while, Tang Linfen praised: "Your Majesty let Gu Mang lead the troops to frighten the Wu army in Jiming Village, which was the first move to mobilize Zhang Qingbai's cavalry. By conquering Xishui Village and Lulong Village successively, it was the first move to make the formation suspicious.

Zhang Qingbai can't see through your strategy. At the same time, the Lord personally led the troops to deal with the Western Wu cavalry, pretending to join forces with the Hucheng defenders, so that the 40,000 cavalry had no time to worry about him."

Pei Yue smiled and said: "There are two crucial points in the whole game. One is Tiger City. We cannot let these 40,000 cavalry come back to their senses. If they support the eastern battlefield, then my plan will not succeed.

The second is Jimingzhai. Only by using this fulcrum to pull repeatedly can we complete the final fatal blow."

Fu Hongzhi's eyes lit up and he said with understanding: "We were running across the plains. Zhang Qingbai could only move the infantry army outside Jiming Village back. Then the Duke asked Gu Mang and Wei Rui to attack them halfway and trap them in the original place.

Then Zhang Qingbai must make a choice."

Tang Linfen followed up and said: "Your Majesty asked Uncle Dingjun to hide in the rift valley. If Zhang Qingbai does not rescue, then the Jinshui Army can cooperate with our cavalry to eat up the Western Wu infantry army. If Zhang Qingbai chooses to rescue,

The strength of this formation will be further weakened, and we will be able to complete a three-sided attack."

Pei Yue nodded slightly and looked at the three Jinshui Cavalry commanders who remained silent.

The three of them looked in reverence and said in unison: "Wonderful!"

Tang Linfen said with admiration and shame: "Previously, Sir Alex divided his troops into three groups, but I couldn't understand what effect this could have. Now that I think about it, I can't compare with Sir Alex, whether it is the use of military techniques or strategic vision.

It’s too different.”

Pei Yue looked at him with a smile, but he was not overly modest.

Fu Hongzhi hesitated for a moment, then finally made up his mind and asked: "Sir, why don't you want to make great contributions again?"

Pei Yue was startled, looking at this thoughtful subordinate who came from a scholarly family, and then turned his eyes to the three commanders next to him.

These three people knew what was going on, and after complimenting them for a while, they took the initiative to leave.

After they left, Pei Yue sighed softly and said: "I have done enough credit, why bother others?"

Fu Hongzhi was silent, and Tang Linfen also understood, and looked at Pei Yue with a hint of intimacy in his eyes.

Since Pei Yue entered Lingzhou, he has actually been making meritorious deeds, among which there are countless great achievements. Emperor Kaiping's decision to let him command all the cavalry was only a temporary appeasement. When he returned to Beijing, it would inevitably lead to a long-lasting merit discussion in the court.

theory.

He turned his head and looked east, his eyes already set on Kyoto, thousands of miles away.

Slowly exhaling a breath of turbid air from his chest, Pei Yue stood up and said, "Let's go to Hucheng."

Tang Linfen and Fu Hongzhi immediately became excited.
