At night.

The lights in Pei Yue's deputy commander's house were brightly lit, and his direct subordinates were gathering together.

As usual, Qin Xian and Wei Rui sat at the top on the left and right respectively, and everyone else sat at the back. But tonight is slightly different. In addition to the new experience officer Yang Yingji on the right, there is also a new chair at the bottom on the left.

Sitting there was Deng Zai, who usually stood behind Pei Yue.

All the generals were already aware of the establishment of Beiwei Camp, and they were a little envious that the commander-in-chief fell to Deng Zai. At the same time, they also knew that this was a reasonable arrangement. Deng Zai basically followed the battle in the Western Region that lasted for more than half a year.

Although the people around Pei Yue are not as eye-catching as Qin Xian, Wei Rui and others, they still have solid military exploits, and they are blameless when they join the army.

The second is the positioning of the Beiwei Battalion. Unlike the Zangfeng Guard and the Wuding Guard, this elite bodyguard is mainly responsible for protecting Pei Yue's safety on the battlefield and must follow the commander at all times. Therefore, there is no need for an independent commanding general, but more

Pay attention to the loyalty and alertness of the leader.

After comprehensive consideration, Deng Zai is naturally the best candidate to lead Beiwei Camp.

It is natural for others to be envious. After all, the soldiers of Beiwei Camp are selected from the Zangfeng Guards. They are the best of the best and are extremely powerful. Who would not want to lead such elites to gallop on the battlefield?

Pei Yue had a clear view of everyone's reactions and joked: "After Yang's experience, he was in charge of food, grass, ordnance, military merit audits, and military law supervision. He has always acted impartially and impartially. If you make a mistake and fall into his hands, don't come to me to plead for mercy.

I can't afford to lose this person."

Chen Xianda smiled bitterly and said: "Master Hou, when I was in the Western Region, I acted according to your instructions."

This refers to Pei Yuechu's visit to the Changgong Camp, and when he could not be persuaded, he directly kidnapped Yang Yingji and took him away. Naturally, the person who took action could only be Chen Xianda.

Yang Yingji said expressionlessly: "Deputy Commander Chen, please rest assured that Yang is determined not to avenge his private revenge."

Chen Xianda breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good."

Pei Yue knew the thoughts of the generals in the hall very well, and said calmly: "You and Yang are not familiar with each other. It is normal for you to be a little unfamiliar for the time being. Even if you cannot get to know each other in the future, it does not matter. I will not force you to become close friends who know everything.

However, there is one thing I want to say beforehand. Yang has the task of offending people on his shoulders. If any of you dare to deliberately go against him, please don’t blame me for being unkind."

Everyone looked solemn and responded in unison.

Yang Yingji secretly sighed that this young prince's skills were not ordinary.

He had absolute trust in himself and handed over all the food, examination and supervision rights of Beiying, even more decisively than Tang Youzhi did when he was at Longgong Camp. Before that, he and Pei Yue were just

There had been a conflict, and we had been together for a while, but we didn't have much in-depth contact or understanding. Even a hard-hearted person would find it hard not to be moved when faced with such trust, not to mention that he had been looked down upon and ostracized in the first half of his life?

After living in poverty for half his life, when he met such a wise master in middle age, how could Yang Yingji not feel grateful and risk his life for serving him?

At the same time, Yang Yingji also understood that Pei Yue's words were on the surface to support him, but in fact they reminded the generals next to him to keep a certain distance from him to prevent the two sides from getting too close and forming a powerful force. Although it can

In the foreseeable future, these people under Pei Yue will never dare or will have any dissent, but his cautious and meticulous skills reveal extraordinary skills in controlling his subordinates.

The young dignitary did not deliberately pretend. These words were spoken in front of him, and they seemed more sincere and calm.

Pei Yue glanced at Yang Yingji and continued: "Commanders Qin and Wei, please tell us the details of their respective subordinates."

Qin Xian coughed lightly and said calmly: "Wu Dingwei currently has 12,500 infantry, divided into five armies: front, rear, left, right, and center. Each army has 2,500 people each, and another

A scout battalion composed of five hundred cavalry. We plan to have 6,000 veterans from the northern camp and 7,000 from the western frontier troops. Sixty percent of them will be those who have been in the army for more than two years."

Pei Yue nodded slightly, then looked at Wei Rui, who said calmly: "The Tibetan Front Guard currently has 12,000 cavalry, which are also divided into five armies, with each army ranging from 2,000 to 3,000 people. According to the Marquis's

Instructions were given to mobilize 1,000 people to form the Beiwei Battalion. The number of troops in each army will be slightly reduced, and further adjustments will be made next."

Pei Yue pondered for a moment and said slowly: "The Wuding Guards are practicing as usual. The Tibetan Front Guards will be divided into two groups from the day after tomorrow, and they will take turns to practice long-distance attacks, passing through Qinzhou to Lizhou, mainly to adapt to the terrain in the south."

Qinzhou is southeast of Kyoto, and Lizhou is south of Qinzhou. The two places are still a long way from the southern border. Because they are close to the Nuhai Sea and are downstream of the Qishui River and other water systems, they have dense water networks.

The terrain is complex, quite similar to the landform south of Tiancang River.

Qin Xian and Wei Rui responded in unison, with excited expressions on their faces, as did everyone else.

They are now high-level military commanders, and it will take luck to climb up the ranks. This has nothing to do with whether Pei Yue supports him or not. After all, the position of commander in chief of the camp is rare, and even Wang Pingzhang cannot arrange it easily. Of course, this refers to the peaceful era, as long as

When the war begins, the broader the territory that is conquered, the more top-notch military positions are freed up. Even if it is very difficult to be promoted to military positions, they can still pursue the title of nobility. Not to mention the princes, even if they can spell out a count.

Enough to honor our ancestors.

All of this must be based on having a battle to fight, and Pei Yue's words just now are a very obvious signal.

If the great cause of conquering Zhou was not about to begin, why would the Zangfeng Guards go to Lizhou to blow the sea breeze?

Pei Yue gave detailed instructions to the generals, and finally said: "The Yuanyang Formation is extremely important. You must keep it in mind and not let the soldiers relax. In addition, nothing discussed tonight must be told outside."

"Follow the order!"

All the generals stood up at the same time, cupped their hands and answered.

"Okay, let's all disperse."

Pei Yue waved his hand and still sat where he was.

After the hall became quiet, Deng Zai walked to Pei Yue's side and stopped talking.

Pei Yue Nuu gestured for him to sit down and asked casually: "How do you feel?"

Deng Zai calmed down and answered honestly: "I was very excited at first, and a little nervous, and then I gradually adapted to it. Young Master, in fact, I have asked myself more than once, and I still want to stay with you and work."

Pei Yue smiled and said with emotion: "When I was on the imperial mission in Lingzhou, I told you that anyone who sincerely follows me will receive a generous reward. You have been diligent and committed over the years and there is nothing wrong with it.

, the first one to take the initiative to stand up again

Come and follow me. If you can't even leap over the dragon's gate, what will others think of me? Besides, when you studied with your husband, you were the one who made the fastest progress in both the art of war and martial arts. In a mere Beiwei camp, I

I believe you can do the job."

A look of gratitude appeared on Deng Zai's dark face.

Pei Yue asked again: "How is your relationship with Miss Duan going?"

Deng Zai said with shame: "Master, you know her temperament, and she is the leader in her family. It's just that I want to do more for the master, so it doesn't matter if I wait another two years."

Pei Yue laughed and said: "I forgot that Miss Duan is brave and smart, otherwise Uncle Gu would not have handed Peiyu Pavilion to her. I'm not criticizing you, some things can't be put off forever, it's not good for other girls. Both you and Wang Yong

You're not young now, it's time to put the matter of getting married on the agenda. Let me have someone go to Duan's house and settle the marriage for you. When you get married, I will personally officiate your marriage."

Deng Zai was frightened and happy at the same time. He stood up quickly and said, "Master, this is a trivial matter and not worth wasting your time."

"Stop farting."

Pei Yue laughed and cursed, and then said: "You guys are a bit stubborn. I'm afraid it won't work if you talk it over, so it's settled."

"Yes, young master." Deng Zai bowed his head and responded.

Pei Yue stood up, raised his hand and patted his shoulder, and said solemnly: "As for the people following me, you don't have to worry. Those two boys Feng Yi and Gai Ju are good, let them take your place and take care of it for me.

Janissaries."

Deng Zai nodded and said, "I will explain it clearly to them."

Pei Yue glanced at him and said with a smile: "Go and get familiar with your subordinates as soon as possible."

For some reason, Deng Zai felt his eyes were a little sore. He took a step back, knelt on his knees, and bowed respectfully.
