Invincible son

Chapter 279 278 [Sacrificial Flag]

Wei Rui is now staying in Linqing City to take charge of the city defense, and there are four guards beside Pei Yue.

According to Pei Yue's observations of them in the past six months, Chen Xianda was a bit ruffian but extremely brave in battle, and he was a vanguard in charge.Meng Longfu was born in a general family. He has been familiar with military books since he was a child.Fu Hongzhi is different from others, the Fu family is the most outstanding scholarly family in Daliang, known as the first family in Jiangzhou, most of the disciples in the family are scholars, Fu Hongzhi is considered an outlier.What he is best at is training troops. The fifth team under him is not weaker than Wei Rui's first team, and he is especially good at training ranger scouts.

Coupled with Wei Rui who showed the temperament of a famous general very early on, these four people can be called the most elite elites among the generals of the Southern Day Camp. They are the pillar talents that Gu Liang has worked hard to cultivate over the years, and they are also the most important gift he gave to Pei Yue .

But in fact, what Pei Yue valued the most was not Wei Rui, but Shang Yu who came from a poor family.

He admired Shang Yu's energy very much, one must be persistent in order to be successful.

Compared with other people's backgrounds, Shang Yu's family is of no help, and he has to carry all the burdens alone.

It's just that his performance today disappointed Pei Yue, so at the moment he is the most silent one, and his face looks very heavy.

"Shang Yu." Pei Yue stared at his frustrated face and said lightly.

"Yes." Shang Yu quickly raised his head and responded.

"I'll give you a mission."

"My lord, please order!"

A tinge of blood appeared on Shang Yu's pale face, and he jumped off his mount trembling with excitement, kneeling on one knee in front of Pei Yue's mount.Chen Xianda and Meng Longfu on the side looked at this scene with complicated expressions.They entered the South Camp together and grew rapidly there, and Shang Yu was picked up by Gu Liang and transferred to his side as a soldier.Although the commander-in-chief's personal soldiers are far superior to ordinary soldiers, Shang Yu has never shown arrogance and complacency, and is still as optimistic and humble as before, so no one underestimates him because of his background.

Pei Yue said calmly: "Bring the injured brother back to Xingyang City, and I will escort you all the way with ten more people. Is it possible?"

Shang Yu suddenly raised his head, the expression on his face was extremely complicated at the moment, there was remorse and unwillingness, more of it was a look of prayer.

He knew in his heart that this was Pei Yue's punishment for his disadvantage in fighting, but no one wanted to be a deserter, not to mention that there was obviously a big battle right now. What is the difference between not being present at this time and being abandoned?
"My lord, humble—" Shang Yu blushed and said with difficulty.

Pei Yue resolutely interrupted him: "After returning to Xingyang, there are two things to do. The first thing is to inform Mr. Qin, the envoy, to immediately report to the capital for eight hundred miles. Lingzhou is unstable and the border is unstable. There is a [-]% chance that war will be launched, and the court should prepare as soon as possible, do you hear me clearly?"

The shame on Shang Yu's face gradually faded, and he replied in a deep voice: "This subordinate understands."

Pei Yue continued: "Second thing, you should find Xue Tao, the governor of Lingzhou as soon as possible, and tell him to suspend the matter of briquettes, and ask him to return to the governor's mansion immediately to coordinate the overall situation of Lingzhou. Take this opportunity and tell him that if the situation in Lingzhou deteriorates, not to mention the franchise of briquettes, he'd better prepare coffins for Xue's family with hundreds of mouths."

He said solemnly: "Tell Xue Tao exactly what I said, can you do it?"

There were turbulent emotions in Shang Yu's chest, and he still doubted that he was abandoned at this moment. The importance of these two things is self-evident, which means that Pei Yue still trusts him very much.

"Don't worry, my lord, even if I don't want this head, I will do what you ordered!"

The first thing is of course not difficult, as long as you tell Qin Xu what happened here, the person who is making adults will realize the seriousness of the problem even if he is infatuated with romance.The key lies in the assassin Xue Tao, Pei Yue's words are too direct and harsh, Shang Yu as a messenger is likely to be the target of anger.

Pei Yue looked at his generous face, shook his head and said with a helpless smile: "Idiot."

Not bothering to pay attention to the stunned Shang Yu, Pei Yue turned his horse's head and headed towards the large army.

Chen Xianda scratched his head, and said to Shang Yu: "Old Shang, what's the matter with you today? Where's the usual cleverness? Is the Sir the kind of person who disregards the overall situation to show off his power? You, alas, you again think carefully."

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly followed Pei Yue.

Meng Longfu was the most kind, he got off his horse and pulled Shang Yu up, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Young Master said something out of anger, we have been with him for so long, don't you know how he is? Now, don't think too much, after you find Governor Xue, tell him what happened here, I believe he should understand the plan of the West Wu people."

Shang Yu showed an embarrassed smile, and suddenly realized: "It turns out that the Sir is angry."

Meng Longfu looked at the young viscount who cared about the soldiers in the distance, and sighed softly: "The 26 heroic comrades, the lord is certainly uncomfortable. Originally, we didn't have to bear this kind of loss, if you were not surrounded by horse bandits. That's all, I know your situation. The situation at home will inevitably be a burden. Don't think too much. Although the Sir is angry, he doesn't really want to give up on you, otherwise he wouldn't entrust this important matter to you Go ahead, don't delay."

Shang Yu silently clenched his fists, nodded and said, "I understand, thank you Brother Meng."

He seems to have suddenly become a lot more mature.

Meng Longfu watched him immediately gather up the wounded and was about to evacuate, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, which was hard to express at the moment.

After Shang Yu escorted the wounded to the east, Chen Xianda asked, "My lord, what should we do now?"

Pei Yue looked at the soldiers around him. Although the exhaustion on their faces could not be concealed, everyone's eyes were bright and their military spirit was still available. He said loudly, "Go north first, and find a suitable place to camp and rest."

Right now, this 300-man solitary army has several options, continuing to pursue the Western Wu cavalry has been vetoed by Pei Yue.Going back to Xingyang seems to be the best choice. When the former Wei Dynasty was destroyed, Xingyang City was intact. Even if the Western Wu army invaded there, it would be the safest place in Lingzhou.It's just that for Pei Yue, that is actually the most passive choice, because he still can't influence Xue Tao's decision at present, and staying in Xingyang can only be used as a decoration.

It is naturally a risky act to stay in the wild with three hundred riders, but it also allows him to take the initiative to a certain extent.

The last option was to go to Linqing County and join Wei Rui's first team, but for some reason Pei Yue never considered this option at all.

Chen Xianda asked curiously: "My lord, why did you go to the north?"

Pei Yue said calmly: "Go to an old friend for help."

Now even Meng Longfu asked in confusion: "Your Excellency, do you have friends in the north?"

Pei Yue sneered and said, "The battle is about to start, I want to use his head to sacrifice the flag."
