Invincible son

Chapter 285

"Pei Qin's envoy is here, what advice do you have?"

Guping Daying Camp, the main hall of the handsome mansion.

Hou Ningzhong of Wuwei was dressed in a bunt outfit, and his burly body was very muscular. Coupled with his sloppy face, it was easy to think of a profession called a butcher.Although Pei Yue did not come with an imperial edict, he was an imperial envoy after all, and Ning Zhong's attire was somewhat disrespectful.

Pei Yue was travel-worn, his face was a little thinner, but his temperament was even more dusty.

Facing Ning Zhong's half-smiling attitude, he said neither humble nor overbearing: "Mr. Ning, my subordinate sent someone to send you a letter before. I wonder if this matter is properly arranged?"

Ning Zhong said perfunctorily: "I already know about this matter, so I don't need to bother you, Mr. Imperial Envoy."

From the beginning to the end, his attitude was very obvious, but he barely maintained a polite face. In fact, even a blind person could feel his indifference and disgust.

Pei Yue's eyes were slightly condensed, and his face gradually turned cold.He didn't care about Ning Zhong's attitude towards him, but the whereabouts of the eight hundred cavalrymen was very important, because they were not a mob like horse bandits.Thinking of this, his tone became a bit colder: "Marshal Ning, those [-] cavalry are definitely not waiting for nothing. Their whereabouts are unknown now, and they are very likely to be burned, killed and looted in Lingzhou."

Ning Zhong rubbed his bright forehead and said with a sneer, "Master Imperial Envoy, how old are you?"

There are also many types of imperial envoys. If the person sitting in the hall at this time is not Pei Yue, but an official of the level of the six ministers, or a senior person with high morals, Ning Zhong would not dare to put on such a rude gesture. .Although this sentence was said with a smile, the meaning of ridicule contained in it was already on the surface.

Those who followed Pei Yue into the Guping camp were Wei Rui and Fu Hongzhi. The former was born with a strong character, while the latter was a scholarly family.
Fu Hongzhi immediately said bluntly: "Marshal Ning, although the Sir is young, he is appointed by His Majesty as an imperial envoy. Could it be that Marshal thinks His Majesty's appointment is inappropriate?"

Ning Zhong's face changed slightly, his eyes suddenly became fierce, but after seeing Fu Hongzhi's face clearly, he smiled strangely and said, "Little Fu, is this how you talk to me?"

Fu Hongzhi said indifferently: "The humble is responsible for the safety of the imperial envoy, and more importantly, the responsibility to maintain the majesty of the emperor and the imperial envoy. Does the commander want to be humble and dumb the whole time?"

Ning Zhong waved his hand and said impatiently: "Okay, I'm too lazy to talk about you, otherwise those scholars in your family will have to write articles to scold me."

He not only knew Fu Hongzhi, but also had a lot of connections with the Fu family behind him, so he could only skip this section, turned his head and said to Pei Yue: "Master Imperial Envoy, although the eight hundred cavalry in Western Wu are difficult, it is our You don’t need to worry about the frontier affairs. Within ten days at the latest, my rangers will bring back the heads of those Xiwu bastards, and you can come to watch the ceremony.”

Speaking of this, Pei Yue would naturally not continue to pretend to be false, and said lightly: "There is no need to watch the ceremony. Since Marshal Ning has a plan in mind, I can rest assured."

Seeing that he was not angry at all, Ning Zhong felt a little surprised, and asked curiously: "I heard that the imperial envoy is very powerful in martial arts?"

Pei Yue looked at him expressionlessly.

Ning Zhong smiled strangely: "I watched Lu Jiang grow up, and I always regarded him as my junior. Could it be that the imperial envoy doesn't know about this?"

It turned out to be the case.

Pei Yue just felt a little strange, he and Ning Zhongsu didn't know each other, even in terms of imperial envoy, this person shouldn't meet with such an attitude.He suddenly remembered that there was a sentence in the information compiled by Qi Min, that before Cheng An Hou Lu Min entered the West Mansion, his last job was the commander of the Guping Camp.

After Lu Min left office, Yin Dao's father, Yin Wei, and Wuwei Hou Ningzhong took over successively. Now Yin Wei has been transferred back to Kyoto to serve as the head coach of the North Camp.

From this point of view, among the commanders of the four camps in the western region, Ning Zhong can be counted as a member of the Anhou Mansion.After all, Lu Min is the second person in the military under Wang Pingzhang, and he is also a top nobleman split from the founding princes. It is impossible that he does not have his own power in the army, otherwise he would not be able to sit in the right military position. stable.

After clarifying the context, Pei Yue said earnestly: "Marshal Ning, I'm here today to discuss with you the matter of the Western Wu cavalry crossing the border. There is no need to talk about personal matters. If you want to fight for Lu Jiang, you can wait for me to hand over the matter. After serving as an imperial envoy, I will wait for you in Kyoto at any time. If Lu Jiang himself wants to ask me to compete again, I will definitely not refuse."

Ning Zhong was indeed a little itchy, if Pei Yue hadn't been known as an imperial envoy, he would have gone to Xingyang City to trouble this young man.

But now it can only be ridiculed verbally.

He smiled contemptuously and said, "Don't worry, my lord, the Marquis will not bully the small with the big. As for the feud between you and Lu Jiang, I think he will definitely look for you."

"I hope he has the guts." Pei Yue refused to budge.

The so-called non-speculative words are more than half a sentence, chatting to this level is already tasteless, and it is impossible for the two of them to really do it, so Pei Yue stood up and prepared to leave.Ning Zhong suddenly said: "Pei Qin, this Marquis reminds you, this is the border, not the capital, so don't take advantage of your status as an imperial envoy to intervene in military affairs at will."

"Don't worry about it, Mr. Pei has his own measure."

Pei Yue led Wei Rui and Fu Hongzhi away calmly.

After they walked for a long time, Ning Zhong's expression gradually turned cold. Several staff members appeared from behind the screen, and one of them shook his head and said, "This son is young and vigorous, I'm afraid it won't last long."

Ning Zhong sneered: "Your Majesty likes him very much, what can you do to him?"

The other person looked mature and dignified, and said with a twist of his beard: "Master Hou, the Western Wu cavalry should not be underestimated. If Lingzhou is disturbed, it will be difficult for Governor Xue."

Ning Zhong nodded and said: "I just don't want to let a kid who hasn't even grown hair ride on his head, imperial envoy? What kind of imperial envoy is he? He's just a sycophant who specializes in tricks and tricks. What do you think about it appearing in the state?"

The experienced man replied: "Lingzhou will not be safe if the frontier army is in chaos. On the surface, it should be the conspiracy of the people of Western Wu."

"Tell me in detail."

"With the Lingzhou guard army, it is absolutely impossible to eliminate these [-] cavalrymen. One guard cavalry in the camp must be dispatched. If Lord Hou sends this cavalry out, it means that the nine military strongholds in the west will not be able to provide timely assistance. support. If the Western Wu army invades at this time, the situation in the nine military villages will become very dangerous."

"Eight hundred cavalry need to use a whole guard of cavalry? Mr. Deng seems to be inappropriate."

"Master Hou, how can you be sure that there are only [-] Western Wu cavalry in Lingzhou?"

Ning Zhong's eyes changed slightly, and he pondered: "So what you said about Yangmou refers to the use of Lingzhou by Xiwu to contain the Guping Camp?"

The man nodded and said: "There is no danger to defend on the plain to the west of Guping. There are only nine military strongholds that serve as horns for each other. If the Marquis does not have this elite cavalry to restrain and protect us, we will fall into a very passive position once a war breaks out. .Lingzhou must not be chaotic, not to mention the recovery of commercial roads in recent years, the food road alone can directly affect the stability of the border four camps and even Hucheng. What I don't quite understand is how the people of Western Wu can live in Lingzhou Find so many fine horses?"

Ning Zhong shook his head and said: "There is no need to say more about this matter, Xue Shiyuan explained it to me."

The man continued: "The Western Wu cavalry must be dealt with as soon as possible. I am old and can let the Tiger Guards Third Army take charge of this battle."

Ning Zhong's eyes moved slightly, meeting the old man's obscure and complex gaze, he understood it immediately, smiled and nodded, "This is a great strategy."
