Invincible son

Kuta mountains, among the valleys.

The soldiers of the barbarians lined up neatly, filling the valley to the brim.

Lie Jiaomi stood on a protruding rock, his powerful and high-pitched voice echoed in the valley.

"A few months ago, I told you that our ancestors came from the south and were forced to live in the wilderness, so the south is our homeland! The climate is warm and there is no black disaster, there is endless food, and there is drinking water. Endless wine, and beautiful and sensible women! I said that I will take you to the south to grab back what belongs to you. In the past two months, you have seen with your own eyes how comfortable the lives of those people in the south are. It’s just the poorest place in the Southern Dynasties.”

Except for the sentinels who stayed around the valley entrance to guard against the Liang army's surprise attack, all the barbarians looked up at Lie Jiaomi.

Although these burly soldiers don't have much knowledge, they can at least tell the difference between real and fake.The big leader was right. When they looted the border of Liang State, even if it was just a village with hundreds of people, those people lived very comfortably.

No one wants to be born to suffer from cold and hunger in the wilderness, not to mention that after going through this experience, they can no longer accept the hard life before.

Lie Jiaomi looked at the excited soldiers below, nodded in relief, and continued to say loudly: "Since we have seen the richness of the south, then we must continue to fight. Only when the southerners are scared, can they go on fighting." Will be willing to give up a piece of land, let us stay away from the bitter cold land of the wasteland! However, the southerners will not give up easily, right now they are staring at us like beasts outside the valley, it seems that my warriors dare not fight to the death .Tell me, are you afraid of death?"

Countless people stretched their necks and roared, "Don't be afraid!"

Responders are like clouds.

Lie Jiaomi waited for the noise to subside, and then said: "You should all know that there is a cavalry of the Liang Kingdom in the north at the moment, attacking our tribe and killing our relatives. You must know that those who stay in the tribe are old people, children and women , Liang Guo cavalry didn't treat our relatives as human beings at all!"

There was blood in the eyes of the barbarians, but at this moment everyone seemed to have forgotten that when they attacked the border of Daliang, they robbed and killed every place they went, leaving only some young people as slaves.

Lie Jiaomi continued: "I understand your feelings, I am also worried about the women and children who stay in the tribe, but there are so many cavalry on the opposite side, will they just watch us go back? No! Those damned Liang people, they fight The idea is to destroy the only home we have. Warriors, we have no way out. If we stay here, we will only lose all our relatives. If we retreat in a hurry, we will be killed by the Liang cavalry, so we have only one choice—"

He paused slightly, raised his right arm high and pointed to the south, and said sharply, "Go out of the valley and kill them all!"

"Kill them all!"

The barbarians howled like wild wolves with red eyes, and the morale of the whole army reached its peak in an instant.

Lie Jiaomi turned to look at the leaders of other tribes, and said in a deep voice, "What about you?"

Everyone knelt down on one knee and said in unison: "Willing to die for the great leader!"

Lie Jiaomi shook his head, and said with cold eyes: "It's not for me, it's for yourselves, for the whole group!"

Everyone is awe-inspiring.

The mouth of the valley was not wide, and a long line of barbarians filed out, and then began to line up on the plain in front of the valley.The first barbarians to come out were Chi Luoli warriors under Lie Jiaomi's command. Although the number was less than two thousand, they were already the core of the Jiankun Department trained over the years.Their movements were very quick, and they had already lined up in a short while. Naturally, this move was to prevent the cavalry from the south from launching a surprise attack.

As more and more barbarians appeared on the plain, the Tibetan front guards who had already discovered the strangeness also lined up.

But they did not rush to charge, and still guarded the north side of the camp. As for the auxiliary soldiers and civilian men, they stayed in the camp to guard the food, grass and supplies to prevent small groups of enemies from sneaking in after the war started.

The nine thousand barbarian army was as imposing as a rainbow, like the savages in ancient legends, forming a long formation on the plain tens of feet south of the Kuta mountains.

Lie Jiaomi and several leaders appeared in the center of the barbarian army, standing two feet tall, he seemed to stand out from the crowd, even though the surrounding barbarian army was already considered tall and burly.

He looked at the cavalry array in the south, with a cruel smile on his lips.

The place he chose is still a trap for the cavalry, because there are mountains behind them, and once the cavalry rushes over, it is difficult to complete the turn in such a narrow area.If the battle falls into an intense hand-to-hand battle, Lie Jiaomi trusts the warriors under his command very much when the number of the two sides is almost the same.

The new wind whimpered in my ears, the sunshine in May spread all over the land, and there was still a cool atmosphere on the wasteland.

Time passed quietly, and the two sides confronted each other several miles away, and neither of them took the first step.

Lie Jiaomi's face became increasingly ugly.

……

In front of the Zangfeng Guards, Gu Fan glanced at the calm and calm Meng Longfu on the left, then turned to look at Chen Xianda who was eager to try on the right, and yawned uncontrollably, and then said to Meng Longfu: "Look at Old Chen a little bit." , don’t let him kill him rashly.”

Chen Xianda rubbed his broad forehead, and said awkwardly yet politely: "Young Master Gu was just joking, how could I have the guts to go out without the Marquis' order?"

"That's the best." Gu Fan shrugged, turned his horse's head and said, "I'll go back and talk to your Lord Hou. Anyway, this battle won't be fought for a while."

Back in the camp, Gu Fan went straight to the tent, nodded to Feng Yi, then opened the curtain and walked in.

I saw Pei Yue standing in front of the sand table, resting his chin in his right hand in deep thought.

Gu Fan said to himself: "Did you overestimate that barbarian leader? He wouldn't think that the initiative of the war is still in his own hands, and we will rush forward with those barbarians? This seems too stupid Now, how and when to fight is naturally up to us to decide. On this plain, how can infantry take the initiative when facing cavalry? He doesn't even understand the most basic principles, so he dares to stay here and fight you head-on .”

Pei Yue still looked at the sand table silently.

Gu Fan poured two cups of tea, walked over and handed one to Pei Yue, and said with a smile, "I remember you said before that you don't like to pretend to be lonely and lonely."

Pei Yue took a sip of the tea cup and said calmly: "Lie Jiaomi can be regarded as a talent, but he has no real battlefield experience, and he is far from qualified to plan a big battle just relying on the letters taught by Wang Pingzhang and Guo Linxi. This person seems to be quite brave, but what is hidden under this face is hesitation."

Gu Fan nodded and said: "Indeed, if you set up an ambush in the valley that day, you would definitely not let Chen Xianda go back alive. Now you can confirm that it is Wang Pingzhang and Guo Linxi who are behind the scenes?"

Pei Yue said calmly: "All the evidence points to this point. In fact, we don't need to waste time on this matter. Let the barbarian army suffer for another day. Tomorrow Lie Jiaomi will definitely push the formation forward, waiting for them to stay away from the north Qunshan, let's do it again. Fourth brother, I received an urgent report from Jiuliguan yesterday."

Gu Fan's heart tightened, and he quickly asked, "Is it related to Kyoto?"

Pei Yue said slowly: "This year's Yanping Conference is scheduled to be held on May 29, and His Majesty will come out of Beijing to observe the ceremony on that day."

Gu Fan said: "There are less than 20 days left, I wonder if you can make it in time—wait, what did you say? Your Majesty is leaving Beijing?!"

Pei Yue nodded.

Gu Fan couldn't believe it: "Is Your Majesty crazy? What is he going to do?"

Pei Yue said calmly: "Your Majesty is obviously not crazy, and the capital is very calm at the moment. Of course, since Wang Pingzhang decided to retire after the Yanping hunting meeting, this is his last chance, so he will definitely contact all parties during this time Power, it is also possible that he has already prepared for this, just waiting for the day when the hunting will come."

Gu Fan only felt a toothache, and wondered: "Is your majesty addicted to playing with fire? I really don't know why he has to do this. As long as he sits in the palace, there are imperial guards inside and Kyoto garrison outside, after Wang Pingzhang leaves office Wouldn't it be okay to slowly clean up the martial arts of the Wang family?"

Pei Yue said leisurely: "Your Majesty has his own considerations. After all, Wang Pingzhang is still a meritorious and loyal minister of Daliang. Before he shows his opposition, how can His Majesty take action directly? How will the future history books record this story? It's just... There's one thing I can't figure out."

"What's the matter?" Gu Fan asked with concern.

"What is Wang Pingzhang thinking?"

Pei Yue reached out and wrote a few lines on the sand table, then looked at Gu Fan and said, "Maybe this is what he really thinks."

Gu Fan's eyes widened, and a look of shock appeared on his face involuntarily.

Pei Yue raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said softly: "Tomorrow, the barbarians and the scum in the frontier army will be dealt with, and then you can do something for me."

After Gu Fan listened quietly, he said in a deep voice, "Okay."

……

In the seventh year of Kaiping, May [-]th.

The barbarian army waited in front of the mountain for a whole day yesterday, but the Tibetan front guard was as stable as a mountain, and Lie Jiaomi did not dare to rashly attack the prestigious cavalry.

Forming up again today, the momentum of the barbarians was obviously much weaker.

A haze appeared in Lie Jiaomi's eyes, but he had no choice but to order the army to move forward for more than one mile, luring the Tibetan front guard to charge.

At the beginning of Sishi, the sun rises three poles.

Pei Yue rode his horse to the front of the battle in military uniform, and looked around at the Lingzhou man who followed him to fight in the world, but he did not mobilize before the battle as impassionedly as before.

He just drew his long knife and pointed to the north.

I can’t finish writing Chapter 3, I will post it together tomorrow~
