Chapter 989 890 [Suspicions in Northern Xinjiang]

"This war was a conspiracy from the beginning!"

Ge Shuyi was extremely angry, but because of his serious injury, he could not react more violently.

Pei Yue recalled this man's life and was a little surprised that he could say this. Judging from the information compiled from various aspects, Ge Shuyi was born in an ordinary general, and his ancestors could only reach the level of commander.

He left a title of a founding county boy. After joining the army, Ge Shuyi did not show too dazzling military talents and generally only received a good evaluation.

However, for such a general's son who was not outstanding in both his birth and ability, his promotion in the army was very smooth. He became the commander of the first battalion in his early forties and was awarded the third-class title of Marquis of Xiting.

Even if he is just the commander-in-chief of Xuanhua Camp, who is jokingly called a stepmother by many, this is a prestigious military position that most generals dream of.

After all, only by staying at this level can one hope to enter the inner circle of the Daliang military.

Pei Yue has been practicing for many years, and has gradually honed the ability to see through the appearance to see the essence. Judging from Ge Shuyi's promotion route over the years, Wang Pingzhang is a name that cannot be avoided. Just like the head coach of Yaoshan Camp in the South, Xiongwu Hou Lan Yuna

Generally speaking, he didn’t have much social contact with Wang Pingzhang, but Wang Pingzhang’s shadow was behind his several important promotions.

The war in Northern Xinjiang was both simple and complex, completely different from the situation Pei Yue had faced before.

The simplicity lies in the fact that the barbarians have limited strength and may have the upper hand for a while, but as long as the Tibetan Front Guards and Tai'an Guards arrive on the battlefield, their advantage will gradually disappear. The complexity lies in the fact that the rise of the barbarians is too strange, at least judging from the knowledge Pei Yue possesses, in

Without the intervention of external forces, the barbarians would never be able to become so powerful.

Pei Yue did not express his opinion immediately. He carefully recalled the history he had read in his previous life and tried to find similar examples.

Ge Shuyi suffocated slightly, obviously not used to the young Shangguan's straightforward style. His anger couldn't help but subside a little, and then he shook his head and said: "I don't have any evidence, but there are too many things in this war that I can't understand."

The sharp light in Pei Yue's eyes flashed away, and even Feng Yi standing next to him couldn't help but feel angry.

Pei Yue said casually: "Please tell me."

Pei Yue's face was expressionless and his tone was cold.

When he was still in Kyoto, Pei Yue had doubts about two people, but as time went by, the balance in his heart continued to tilt towards Wang Pingzhang. If the war in Northern Xinjiang was planned by Wang Pingzhang, then Ge Shuyi's urgent statement at this moment would be

Seems intriguing.

The answer soon came to mind. Whether it was the Mongolian cavalry or the Jurchens, these grassland regimes were indeed very weak at first. However, once they were given the opportunity to rise into the wind, they were like sparks falling into dry firewood. In just a few years,

A fire can start a prairie fire.

Ge Shuyi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly echoed: "That's right! I led the troops into the wasteland before and found that the tribe that unified all the tribes in the wasteland was named Jiankun tribe, and their leader was named Liejiaomi. Judging from the news I heard before

, this Jiankun tribe does have quite strong strength, but this is only compared to other tribes. No matter how powerful Liejiaomi is, it is impossible for the Jiankun tribe to have more than two thousand people in one year.

Here we unify the wasteland.”

Pei Yue walked up to him, not caring about his status and dignity, and knelt down and said: "Xitinghou, even if I believe your accusation, I still want to ask, why did Guo Linxi do this? He colluded with the barbarians to frame you, the coach,

He may be able to successfully squeeze you out and climb up, but the barbarian's actions are obviously more than that. How will he finish after he has started this?"

Pei Yue nodded slightly and said, "Keep talking."

Pei Yue slowly exhaled a breath, unwilling to speak too thoroughly on this issue, and asked instead: "Is this why you prevent me from going deep into the wilderness?"

Ge Shuyi glanced at Feng Yi, and after a few moments he said categorically: "This person is the deputy commander of Xuanhua Camp, Xuande Bo Guo Linxi!"

As the war broke out, the barbarians' well-founded performance in advancing and retreating was enough to prove Pei Yue's judgment.

Pei Yue pondered: "In this way, until the second half of the fifth year of Kaiping, the tribes in the wasteland were still in their previous state. But in just over a year, someone unified the wasteland and at least conquered most of the tribes.

"

At this time, tears were already welling up in his eyes. The originally tall Angzang man was lying on the wicker chair, looking particularly aggrieved.

Brother Shuyi said with admiration: "Pei Hou Mingjian, this is the problem. As the commander of the Xuanhua Camp, I shoulder the responsibility of guarding the land and tranquilizing the people. How could I turn a blind eye to the situation of the barbarians? Until the fourth year of Kaiping, I was still with the wasteland.

I keep in touch with several tribes and ask them to provide me with information on the wasteland on time. In return, I also..."

Ge Shuyi no longer hesitated and plucked up the courage to say: "In the battle in the wilderness, the barbarians dispatched at least three thousand people, and all of them were holding weapons. Although they were not Daliang's standard weapons, I can still confirm that most of the weapons were new ones.

Made! Perhaps to deceive others, these weapons look nondescript."

Here he hesitated again.

"hehe."

Ge Shuyi was filled with resentment and had no way to vent, gritted his teeth and said: "Not only that, Marquis Pei, the reason why I fell into the ambush of the barbarians is definitely because someone leaked my marching route."

Brother Shuyi raised his hand with difficulty to wipe away the cloudy tears from the corner of his eyes, shook his head and said: "Pei Hou, although I led five thousand soldiers to be defeated by the barbarians this time, I cannot lie about the military situation to influence your judgment. That battle against the barbarians

Three thousand people were dispatched, but based on what I know about them in the past, these three thousand people are definitely not the entire property of the barbarians!"

He suddenly stopped talking, and Pei Yue understood what he was thinking, waved his hand and said: "This is the way to use time, Marquis Xiting, don't be nervous, I will not falsely accuse you of collaborating with the enemy."

Feng Yi couldn't help but think of how just a few hours ago, Vice Admiral Guo responded calmly and calmly in front of his young master. In contrast, Ge Shuyi didn't know whether it was because of the fiasco and chaos, but he was completely indifferent in front of Pei Yue.

Accusing a powerful martial artist with solid evidence.

Brother smiled gratefully, but the smile affected the injury and made him frown in pain. Then he spoke faster and said: "The strange thing is that starting from the second half of the fifth year of Kaiping, those tribes refused to provide me with information.

.In the sixth year of Kaiping, that is, last year, they even returned the salt I sent."

Ge Shuyi realized that Pei Yue's ideas were different from his own, so he tried hard to persuade him: "Pei Yue, the barbarians in the wilderness are different from the minority groups in the heart of the Central Plains. By the fifth year of Kaiping, they were still in a quite barbaric and backward state.

, many barbarians even eat raw hair and drink blood. How is it possible that in just over a year, they can form such a momentum of unity? If Liejiaomi didn't have the guidance of outsiders, they would definitely still only know how to kill people as before, and it would be impossible to unite them.

The hearts of other tribes, and..."

Pei Yue stood up and said, "Do you have any doubts about the candidate?"

Pei Yue's expression gradually became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "You want to say that the barbarians staged such a big battle this time, but they moved back and forth on the border in order to seduce me to go deep into the wilderness with the army, and then...

Will victory force us to give in?"

On the battlefield, bare-handed and holding a weapon are two completely different concepts, and for the people of northern Xinjiang and the border guards, there may be a chance to fight for their lives when facing a group of savage and burly barbarians, but when the opponent is like Daliang Zheng

If they are armed like soldiers, the gap in individual strength between the two sides will widen infinitely.

Pei Yue said seriously: "So you are trying to say that this time the barbarians gathered thousands of people and went south because one of the tribes was close to the unified wasteland?"

Brother said happily: "I can't figure it out why the barbarians have so many weapons? What on earth is going on?"

Thinking of this, Pei Yue asked slowly: "Marquis Xiting, do you have any evidence in your hand?"

Although they looked like beasts on the outside, they attacked the military station, stopped suddenly, lured the enemy deep, defeated Liang Jun, and still did not advance rashly even though they had the advantage. This series of decisions were calm and cunning, and they had clearly learned a lot about the art of war.

content.

Ge Shuyi moved his body slightly and said sincerely: "Marquis Pei may not know that barbarians live in the wilderness and are divided into at least forty tribes. Most tribes only have hundreds or thousands of people, and the most do not exceed three thousand people.

There are few resources in the wasteland, but the food is not bad. The main reason is that salt and iron tools are very rare. The barbarian tribes often fight for these necessities, and many tribes have feuds with each other."

Brother Shuyi was stunned.

Pei Yue sighed softly, raised his hand and patted his shoulder and said: "That's all, you need to recover from your injuries in Fucheng first, and we will discuss some things when I come back. By the way, you left your confidant who was previously responsible for contacting the barbarian tribes.

Under my tent."

Ge Shuyi was surprised and said: "Does Marquis Pei still want to go to the wasteland?"

Pei Yue shook his head and said in a deep voice: "It's not that I want to go, but that the barbarians have already gone south."
