Invincible son

Chapter 306 305 [Drunk Moon]

The night was dark.

The lights in Jiming Village are brightly lit, and the central square is very lively.Although it is not suitable to drink alcohol during the war, considering today's extremely rare victory, Qin Xian made an exception and allowed everyone a drink, and then rewarded the soldiers with the beef and mutton stored in the village.

On the west wall, five hundred reinforcements who acted as bystanders during the day were responsible for defending the city.These people were obviously not Ning Zhong's confidantes, so they didn't dare to make trouble, especially after Pei Yue came and revealed their identities, they immediately obeyed orders obediently.

The reputation of the imperial envoy could not hold down big figures like Xue Tao and Ning Zhong, and it was not difficult to deter a group of soldiers who were not valued.

The corpses on the city wall have been disposed of, but the strong smell of blood can't dissipate for a long time.

Pei Yue sat on the city wall, looked up at the bright starry sky, and was slightly absent-minded for a while.

There was such a beautiful starry sky in that world in the previous life, the difference is that the Milky Way where the stars gather cannot be seen here.

He picked up the flagon and took a sip. The spirit dilutes the smell of blood around him, and sighed softly: "Brother, follow me. You don't have to worry about the consequences, no matter what happens, I will take care of it."

Qin Xian took the jug he handed over, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Jiming Village can't be lost."

Pei Yue said decisively: "I can't keep it."

Qin Xian said in a complicated tone: "If you can't keep it, you have to keep it."

Pei Yue did not give up, and continued to persuade: "You take your subordinates with me, so what if you throw Jiming Village to Xiwu? Now the situation is gradually becoming clear. Before the defenders of Hucheng determine the strategy of Xiwu, they will not easily Going out of the city. Ning Zhong led an army of [-] to defend Nanshanzhai. He just wanted to use you to wear down the strength and morale of Xiwu. Even if you were all dead, he would not care. He is the hero who turned the tide."

Chen Xianda often scolded Ning Zhong recently, although Pei Yue didn't stop him, he didn't agree with his views.

Ning Zhong is not afraid of death, but cruel.

No matter what the ultimate goal of the people of West Wu was, the nine military strongholds to the west of Dongqing Mansion were obstacles they couldn't get around. If they wanted to overwhelm Dongqing Mansion with their troops, they had to take down one by one.Needless to say, the price paid for the siege of the city, when they take down the nine military strongholds, their strength will definitely be greatly weakened, and Ning Zhong will have a great chance of winning by waiting for work.

It's just that he never considered these army defenders who were regarded as abandoned sons.

Qin Xian took a sip of wine and said slowly: "Brother Yue, do you know why Your Majesty hates my father?"

Pei Yue has never inquired into the family affairs of Qin Xian and Xue Meng, this is the respect he must do.

He only knew that Qin Xian's father was named Qin Huai, who inherited the third-class Uncle Pingyang when he was young, and was later confiscated by the emperor. Fortunately, he was not punished.That is, from then on, the Pingyang Hou Mansion fell into unspeakable embarrassment.Qin Xian's martial arts are superb, and his family background is very good at scouting, and his ability to lead troops is not weak, but he has been in the army for several years and is still just a sentry officer. From this, it can be seen that his family background has greatly hindered him.

Qin Xian looked complicated, and continued: "You and I both know that Pei Guogong led the army to the west in the first year of Renxuan, and then captured Hucheng with outstanding achievements. In fact, it was because the Western Wu people committed a large number of crimes, and His Majesty had to let him go out of the mountain. Rescue. Before Pei Guogong arrived at the border, Liang’s army retreated steadily. At that time, my father was the commander of the Guping camp and was responsible for guarding the Nanshan village.”

"Then what happened?"

"Father said that it would be futile to die alone, so he led the defenders back to Lingzhou. The west gate was wide open, and the Wu army cavalry drove straight in. They burned, killed and looted Dongqing and Guangping mansions wantonly, and the loss of life was like hell on earth."

Pei Yue was slightly taken aback, then fell silent.

Qin Xian laughed at himself and said: "Father is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. He has always been famous for his bravery in the army. But at that time, the border defense system was not complete, and the left and right defense lines had been breached. The Nanshan Village could not be defended at all. Those soldiers were his The ones he personally brought out are no different from mine, he couldn't bear to watch them die in vain, so he made that choice."

His tone became more and more low, and he shook his head: "Perhaps many people can understand his thoughts, but no one is willing to accept his actions. It is the honor of a soldier to shroud a man's body in horse leather. Even if he knows that there is death ahead, he cannot back down. Not long after he ascended the throne, the situation was not stable yet, and Duke Pei had said a few good words for his father, so it was just the seizure of the title and no punishment."

Pei Yue thought for a moment, and said seriously: "Brother, what's wrong with Uncle's decision? You and I both know that in many cases on the battlefield, determination and will can not solve all problems. In any case, heroism is just a word of heroism. In that case, even if uncle defends Nanshanzhai, it will only delay the progress of the people of West Wu, but it will have no effect on the final outcome."

Qin Xian nodded, and said in a low voice: "I understand, and I never blamed my father. It's just Brother Yue, the old Qin family can't lose face again."

Pei Yue could hear the desolation and the will to die in his voice, but he, who has always been eloquent, felt at a loss for words at this moment.

Qin Xian turned his head to look at him, with calm and firm eyes, and said slowly: "The most important thing is that the situation is different now, not that I want to drag my brothers to die and use their lives to wash away the reputation of the Qin family. I Although Qin Xian is eager to make contributions, he is not that kind of shameless person. You also said just now that the situation is gradually becoming clearer, and it is clear that the Western Wu people are plotting to seize Hucheng, so the decisive battle cannot be placed in the Guping camp!"

Pei Yue knew in his heart that what he said was right, but he couldn't say what he agreed with no matter what.

Qin Xian said calmly: "Who is not afraid of death? But if death is worthwhile, I think this is the meaning of the existence of my generation of soldiers. If all the nine military strongholds fall and the defense line of Lingzhou is no longer covered, it means that the guards of Hucheng The army must make a choice. If the enemy's footsteps are stopped here, it will buy Daliang more time."

"So, Jiming Village cannot be lost, it must be guarded."

He said firmly.

The night wind is cool and the moon is misty.

Pei Yue already knew the situation of the defenders in Jiming Village, counting minor injuries, there were only 2000 people who were able to move, how could this force be defended?
Today, the Wu army returned after a big defeat, and they will surely make a comeback, and his cavalry has been exposed. With Zhang Qingbai's skillful use of troops, how could he be given a second chance to make a surprise attack?

"Brother, have you decided?"

"Brother Yue, it's a pity that I couldn't wait for the wedding banquet when you got married. Do you have a woman you like now? Have you ever met the daughter of Master Gu's family?"

"Yes, I met another girl later, her name is Ye Qi, we like each other."

"What about Miss Gu's family?"

"I like it too."

"It's a bit of a hassle."

"No trouble, there will always be a solution."

"When you get married, I will prepare a big gift for you."

"Brother, I will not refuse."

"As it should be."

At the climax of the moon, the jug had bottomed out, but Pei Yue was still very sober, as if his drinking capacity had increased a lot unconsciously.

The banquet in the stockade has been withdrawn, and there is silence in the world.

Pei Yue asked suddenly: "Brother, do you know Dong Da?"

Qin Xian nodded and said: "He should be the one I know. My father said that in Nanshan Village, the only person who opposed his withdrawal was his deputy general named Dong Daqian. He was a well-known man. Later, my father was arrested The imperial decree recalled him to Kyoto, and his people were worried that something would happen to him, so they sent him all the way to Kyoto. After confirming that his father had just seized the title, he returned to the border, and it is not clear what he did afterwards."

Dong Da's resolute and vicissitudes of face appeared in Pei Yue's mind, and he sighed softly: "It should be him."

He jumped off the city wall and said seriously to Qin Xian: "There are too few troops in the village. I will keep Dong Da and the defeated soldiers from Sanzhai to help my brother defend the city. I will take away the cavalry from Zangfengwei and Xishui Village. At critical moments, they can Come in handy."

Qin Xian asked with concern: "Where are you going?"

"Go to Nanshanzhai to find Ning Zhong, I have to talk to him."

Pei Yue's tone was not serious, but he revealed a bit of sternness invisibly.
