Invincible son

Chapter 379 378

Linqing County, Dongcheng Mansion.

Ye Qi came to the outer study with a tray in his hands, and Deng Zai, who had been staying here, rushed up to meet him, cupped his hands and said, "I've seen the girl."

"Is he still in the study?" Ye Qi looked up at the sun in the west and asked softly.

Deng Zai was very respectful to Ye Qi, not only because of his relationship with Pei Yue, but also because Ye Qi was considered half a master to their soldiers.At first they studied with Mr. Xi, but later there were too many soldiers, and Mr. Xi couldn't take care of both. Ye Qi helped him share a part, guiding the soldiers' martial arts drills.

He glanced at the tureen on the tray, lowered his head and replied: "The young master entered the study early in the morning, and asked me to deliver a meal in the middle, and he never came out at other times."

Ye Qi nodded slightly and said: "Understood. Go down and rest, you don't have to stay here all the time."

Deng Zai responded without hesitation, "Yes."

Ye Qi pushed open the door, walked slowly into the inner room, and what he saw was a very messy scene.

Books were scattered all over the floor, dozens of sheets of paper were piled up in a mess on the table, and the most eye-catching thing was a hand-painted topographic map on the wall.Ye Qi had never seen this kind of unique map before, and there were many symbols on it that she couldn't understand.At this moment, Pei Yue was standing by the wall, staring at the map with his hands behind his back.

Ye Qi put the tray on the corner of the desk, and then put away those messy papers and stacked them together.

Pei Yue woke up from his contemplation, turned to Ye Qi and said, "I'll clean it up myself later."

Ye Qi smiled slightly, pointed to the tray on the table and said: "This is the lotus seed soup that Miss Lin made for you. She said that the autumn sun has been scorching these few days, and eating lotus seeds can clear up the heat and relieve the heat. I let her You brought it yourself, but she insisted that I did it for you. It’s a pity that she has good intentions, but you don’t know that you are very afraid that I will bring you snacks.”

Pei Yue smiled knowingly.

Ye Qi's words naturally have an allusion, referring to the story that from spring to autumn last year, he devoted himself to studying in the Green Willow Manor, and Ye Qi often cooked some new dishes for him to taste.

He walked to the table and picked up the gaiwan, lifted the lid and smelled the fresh fragrance, and said meaningfully: "Shuyue has experienced hardships in the past, so sometimes she will be more careful."

Ye Qi Wenge knew it, and said with a light smile: "When I left the capital, I thought about how to embarrass her. After meeting, I realized that I was not suitable for this kind of thing. In the end, I made it easier for you. What I said probably made her face It sounds like you have other thoughts in your heart, you can find a time to talk to her, you don't have to deliberately lie down and be a petty person in the future, I have no interest in being the king in the inner house."

If it was normal, Pei Yue would definitely take this opportunity to stay by her side for a while, but today he just nodded calmly in response.

Ye Qi looked at his bloodshot eyes and tired face, and asked with concern: "What is it that bothers you so much?"

Pei Yue finished the lotus seed soup in twos and twos, wiped his mouth casually with his sleeve, pointed to the map he had drawn on the wall and said, "I don't understand what the people of West Wu are going to do."

Ye Qi blinked, obviously not understanding the true meaning of this sentence.

Nearly 30 troops from Western Wu suppressed the border and captured the four military villages to the west of the Guping camp. Zhang Qingbai and Xie Lin joined forces to turn Hucheng into an isolated city.Their strategic intention seems to be very clear, to force the defenders of Hucheng to go out of the city to fight, otherwise they will continue to attack Lingzhou eastward.There is obviously a steady stream of support behind them, and they don't worry about being cut off by the Hucheng defenders at all.

There are similarities and differences between this scene and 15 years ago.

Back then, Pei Zhen led the army across the Gaoyang Plain, and most of the time it was a lone army that penetrated deep into the territory of Wu State. It was reasonable for the unlucky Lord Hou who was stationed in Hucheng to go out of the city to intercept Pei Zhen at the most critical moment.

Ye Qi doesn't know much about these things, but during this period of chatting with Lin Shuyue every day, he can clearly distinguish the general situation now.

She asked puzzledly, "Where is the doubt?"

Pei Yue took her by the wrist and walked to the wall, then pointed to a triangular symbol on the map and said, "This is Tiger City, Liucheng of Wu State is to the west, Gancheng is to the northwest, and Beishao River is to the north. From the geographical point of view, it is in the semi-encirclement of Xiwu Army Town. Before the war started, there were guards from our army system on the southeast side of Hucheng, but Zhang Qingbai took down the three army villages of Daokou, Wufeng and Tribulus within two days and captured them instantly. Tiger City's southern barrier."

Ye Qi nodded slowly, frowned and asked, "Isn't this the intention of the Western Wu people?"

Pei Yue's right hand moved to the bottom right of the map, pressed on the circular symbol and continued: "Wuwei Hou Ningzhong led the Guping camp to attack, but was easily defeated by Zhang Qingbai, not only lost tens of thousands of horses, but also gave up Lulongzhai At this time, all the military strongholds in the southeast of Hucheng fell into the hands of the Western Wu people, leaving only the official road in the east unattended, but now the Lulong Village is stationed in the Western Wu army, who would dare Pass through that official road?"

Ye Qi suddenly said: "Hucheng has become isolated and helpless."

Pei Yue picked up one of the books on the ground, handed it to Ye Qi, and said in a deep voice, "This is the life of Zhang Qingbai, Xie Lin, and the Emperor of Western Wu. The spies in Peiyu Pavilion worked hard to get it. I studied it over and over again. With their temperament, they still can't figure out why they made such a stupid decision."

Ye Qi asked back: "Stupid?"

Pei Yue's expression became extremely serious, and he said slowly: "This is a battle of national destiny. If the people of Western Wu lose, they will have no power to conquer the East within 20 years, and it will also make the emperor of Daliang think about it. It is not impossible to go west and south. Under this premise, I believe that they have gone through countless deduction for every step, and it is by no means a whim. Right now they seem to have an advantage, but as long as Hucheng can't hold on, it is impossible for them to capture it. "

Ye Qi gradually understood, she looked at the two arrows drawn by Pei Yue on the map, and asked tentatively: "The people of Western Wu are now in a dilemma?"

Pei Yue nodded and said: "They can't take down Hucheng, let alone capture Lingzhou. One of Zhang Qingbai's front teeth collapsed in Jiming Village alone, and now Marquis Cheng An brought the Beijing army to Guping Camp to serve as a support for the people in Nanshan Village ahead. Ning Zhong held his ground, why did Zhang Qingbai attack Lingzhou? Another thing I still don't understand is that if the information sent by Taishi Taige is correct, Zhang Qingbai has been dividing his troops, from the four military camps in the west to the entire front, his strength depends on It looks very scattered, which is not a low-level mistake made by a veteran in the field."

Ye Qi looked at him steadily and asked, "Isn't this a good thing?"

Pei Yue sighed lightly: "It should have been a good thing, but I can't stand someone getting on the pole and handing the knife to Xiwu."
