Invincible son

Chapter 1011 1012 [The beginning of a thousand miles]

If we put aside the harsh living environment, from the perspective of Pei Yue's previous life, the scenery of the wasteland can be called magnificent and beautiful.

The world is far away, the clouds are misty, and it is shocking to look at it from the extreme.

Dotted on the land are mountain peaks, sparse forests, frozen soil, and two or three surging rivers, just like a picture scroll with rough lines outlined by a letter pen. out.

On the third day after entering the wasteland, the Zangfeng Guards traveled about 150 miles. This speed was quite different from their previous style.

If the young censors in the court heard the news, they would probably write a few impeachment memorials with spicy words and quotes overnight, and put eye drops on Pei Yue in front of the emperor.In their view, the barbarians harassed the border and slaughtered soldiers and civilians, the bones of hundreds of soldiers in Jiuli Pass were still cold, and there were still thousands of people in the wasteland who were abused by the barbarians. The Zangfengwei should kill them as quickly as possible, and smash those brutal barbarians to pieces. Duan was frustrated.

However, from commander Wei Rui down, including two deputy commanders, five commanders, 25 guerrillas and even more than [-] soldiers, no one questioned Pei Yue's decision.

In addition to their trust in Pei Yue, it was also because the Zangfengwei did not go deep alone this time, and there were more than [-] auxiliary soldiers and civilian husbands behind them. They were responsible for transporting the food and supplies behind the army.

Zhang De was placed in the vanguard army, guiding the brave general named Chen Xianda along the way.

As a pawn of the Beishan Military Station under the Xuanhua Camp, Zhang De had never seen such a disciplined cavalry.There was a cavalry force in the Xuanhua camp a few years ago, but it was said that the imperial court could not provide horses for the army, so it was gradually abolished.He had also seen the cavalry marching from a distance, and although he couldn't give an accurate impression, compared with the Tibetan front guard in front of him, both the military appearance and formation were worlds apart.

In the past few days, he watched carefully, not daring to make any comments in front of others. Fortunately, that Deputy Commander Chen seemed rough and reckless, but he was a good person, and he didn't become arrogant because of his status. some topics.

Although he only stayed in the Zangfengwei for a few days, he already knew very well the admiration and admiration this elite cavalry had for Pei Yue.Different from the awe of the imperial court by the comrades at the Beishan Military Station before, it seems that the people around them only have the Marquis Pei in their hearts, and they have reached the point of being extremely loyal.Even if Pei Yue told them to die, Zhang De believed that no one would shrink back.

Zhang De could only press down the words in his heart, forced a smile and said: "Yes, what the general said is reasonable."

Zhang De said with a complex expression: "Yang Ding never told us about his family affairs."

Hearing this, Wei Rui picked up the letter paper again, looked at a few lines of statements, couldn't help feeling tense, frowned and said, "Master Hou wants to say that there is a problem with Xuanhua Daying?"

Wei Rui analyzed calmly: "If Zhang De did not lie, after the barbarians robbed a large amount of supplies and people, they did not retreat back to the heart of the wasteland, but stayed near the border, as if they were waiting for us to find them. In the past. Based on the strategy shown by the barbarian leader, such a decision should not be made."

Wei Rui nodded and said, "Please order, Lord Hou."

"I'm humble."

Wei Rui took it out and took out the letter paper. After reading it, his expression became solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "Yunzhou Mine is so courageous, aren't they afraid of ransacking their homes and destroying their families?"

Chen Xianda grinned and said with emotion: "It's like his father's behavior style. You don't have to think too much. As a soldier, as long as you step on the battlefield, you will live and die, and you will be rich and honored. Whether you die or live, you can't blame others."

Chen Xianda turned his head and asked, "Are you in a hurry?"

Zhang De respectfully said: "The villain remembers."

"General, at this speed, we estimate that it will take ten days to get there." During the march, Zhang De took a chance and said cautiously.

Pei Yue leaned over and took out a secret letter from the pouch hanging beside the horse's belly, handed it to Wei Rui and said, "Look at this first."

Pei Yue shook his head and said, "It's nothing more than filling your pockets, you may not realize where the money from the mine has gone."

Zhang De replied: "Yes, but... I'm afraid the barbarians will vent their anger on him."

Wei Rui's face became more and more ugly: "However, they pocketed their own pockets and took Master Hou's kindness as their way."

Pei Yue narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the vast world in front of him, and said quietly: "No wonder someone reminded me to pay attention to safety. The trouble in northern Xinjiang is not with the barbarians, but with the interior."

Pei Yue was silent for a long time before he said: "Your Majesty wanted the Xiangyun mine in my hand back then. In order to keep this property, I handed over the briquette prescription and helped Charcoal Temple to roll out the network without taking any money. But from the heart On the other hand, I do have some intentions to hope that the people in Daliang will live better. The three states in the north are very poor, and the life of the people is very difficult, so I set a very loose profit task for the Yunzhou mine. I hope to benefit the people. Because of this incident, I even quarreled with Luo Ting in letters several times. "

Seeing that his flustered expression was obviously different from the previous one, Pei Yue said indifferently: "Don't worry. If I want to completely solve the internal and external worries, I must personally confront the barbarians. Wei Rui, I can only leave this matter to You do it."

All the details of this battle appeared in Wei Rui's mind, and the worries in his heart became more and more serious. He couldn't help persuading: "Master Hou, please return to Jiuliguan to sit in the town, and I will be in charge of this battle."

"My lord, nothing unusual has happened these few days. The army did not encounter barbarian spies on the way forward, nor did they find traces of the life of barbarian tribes."

Pei Yue said earnestly, "This is the edge of the wasteland bordering Daliang. The barbarians will certainly not live in such a close distance. We are on guard against them, and they must be afraid of us, especially those small tribes."

Looking at the distant mountain, Chen Xianda showed an uncharacteristically solemn expression, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know that kid, but I know his father very well. To be honest, I don't like to be in contact with people like his father, but If every official is like his father, there will be a lot less grievances and injustices in the world."

Behind the vanguard army is the central army of the Zangfengwei, with three thousand cavalry, firmly protecting Pei Yue and his personal soldiers at the core.

"Is there any abnormal return for riding?"

Wei Rui thoughtfully said: "Master Hou, I have been deliberating over the past two days, and I always feel that the barbarian's confidence is a bit inexplicable."

"Wei Rui."

Pei Yue signaled him to continue talking.

Zangfengwei has always been strict in military discipline, but the distinction between superiority and inferiority is not strict. Usually, Pei Yue requires his generals not to be too humble. Wei Rui and others generally do not use honorific titles like "you".

Chen Xianda nodded approvingly and said, "It's good that you have this kind of heart, but don't worry, because this is an order from our Lord Marquis. Remember, there is one more important thing besides not being afraid of death on the battlefield. That is to obey Lord Marquis’ orders at all times. As long as we can do this, we will definitely win the final victory.”

Zhang De sighed: "I'm worried that the barbarians will withdraw to the heart of the wasteland. They have taken away a lot of people this time. If they are allowed to withdraw smoothly, it will be very difficult to find those tribes in the wasteland."

Chen Xianda asked again: "When you escaped, was Yang Ding still alive?"

Pei Yue spoke unhurriedly, and Wei Rui listened calmly, but the blood in his heart gradually boiled.

At the end, Pei Yue stared into his eyes and said gently: "This time I will be your bait."

Wei Rui immediately clasped his fists in salute, gritted his teeth and said, "Even if I leave this life in Beijiang, I will definitely complete the task assigned by Lord Hou!"

The cold wind is hunting, and the killing intent is clear.
