Invincible son

Chapter 385 384 [Grass Snake Gray Line]

"This time Western Wu's move to send troops was very sudden. The crows in Taishitai Pavilion sent back the relevant details after the war had already started. Therefore, the court was very passive from the beginning, and my father also admitted it in public. dereliction of duty."

Shen Danmo's face was calm, but there was a bit of dissatisfaction hidden deep in his eyes.

Taishitai Pavilion's spies in West Wu are divided into two types: light and dark, but regardless of whether they have a clear identity or not, the Western Wu court is very strict about this aspect.In particular, it is obviously a very difficult thing to pass the news back across the vast Gaoyang Plain, and to avoid the sight of the Western Wu cavalry on the road.

After Zhang Qingbai sent his army to capture the three military strongholds including Daokou, the news from Xiwu began to be sent back, almost at the same time as the news of Pei Yue's victory in Qishan Chong arrived in Kyoto.

Pei Yue nodded slowly and said: "Although the court has long formed a habit of trusting the Taige, I don't think the responsibility for this matter lies with Mr. Shen. The secret spy's work is secretive and complicated, and any line has problems It will bring disaster to the overall situation, and since there has been no large-scale war between Daliang and Xiwu for more than ten years, it is certain that they will not be able to catch up with the previous level in a hurry."

Shen Danmo looked at him quite unexpectedly, and said after a while: "My father agrees with you in private, and also said that this is an opportunity to clean up the interior of the Tai Pavilion, so he specially sent Mr. Lin to accompany me to the western region, and he specially Responsible for the crows in Western Wu."

"Has Taige mastered the overall strategy of the Western Wu people?" Pei Yue couldn't help asking.

Shen Danmo shook his head slightly, and murmured: "Western Wu sent 30 troops this time, and the initial mobilization was very secretive and natural. As you must know, Western Wu's troops are mainly deployed in the east, which is almost two-thirds of their total strength. Every year at the turn of spring and summer, Western Wu will hold military exercises on the Gaoyang Plain. This year, they used this method to change the pattern of troop distribution, dispatching more than half of the cavalry to the vicinity of the six cities in the east, and more than 20 infantry. "

Her expression gradually became serious, and she continued: "There are 12 troops in Zhang Qingbai's department in the south, including [-] cavalry and [-] infantry. In the north, there are [-] troops in Xie Lin's department, including [-] cavalry. And [-] infantry. The overall combat strategy should come from the hands of Dadutong, who is the third younger brother of Emperor Xuanwu of Western Wu and Li Zongyu who was named King Jing. The military structure of Western Wu is different from that of Daliang , Emperor Xuanwu held the military power in one hand, and controlled the generals of the four directions through the Dutong Mansion composed of members of the royal family, and the generals were usually in charge of specific operations."

Pei Yue frowned and said, "Xie Lin actually brought fifty thousand cavalry? Western Wuyuan only has a total of more than one hundred thousand cavalry, right?"

Shen Danmo nodded and said: "To be precise, it is 14, including [-] Anyang dragonriders."

"Anyang Dragonriders?"

"It's equivalent to the imperial army in Daliang, and the Anyang Dragonriders are the only heavy armored cavalry in the world. The people of Western Wu claim that the Anyang Dragonriders are invincible, and no army can resist them."

Pei Yue was silent when he heard the words.

He was not intimidated by the name of the heavy cavalry, but he was thinking about the method of cracking the heavy cavalry in the war history of his previous life.

Shen Danmo said with a solemn expression: "On the third day after I arrived in Xingyang City, the crows from the West Wu side desperately sent back a message. On the seventh day of September, about [-] Anyang dragon riders set off from the capital city of West Wu, all the way to the east Coming towards the border."

In the era of cold weapons, the power of heavy cavalry is needless to say, especially in the vast and flat terrain of Gaoyang Plain, the role of heavy cavalry can be brought into full play.Meeting in the field, there is absolutely no army in Daliang that can withstand the impact of [-] heavy cavalry.

Pei Yue raised his eyes and said sincerely: "Miss Shen, thank you for sharing the news."

Shen Danmo shook his head and said: "You don't need to say thanks, there are only so many news about Xiwu, but we can judge that they started planning this war at least two years ago. , King Jing, Zhang Qingbai and others discussed that our crows are not yet able to enter such an inner circle. I will send someone to send you the follow-up information according to the priority. This is also one of Taige's compensations for Qi Shanchong .”

Speaking of this, Pei Yue was not hypocritical, and calmly agreed, and then asked in a deep voice: "Miss Shen, is the capital still safe?"

"Stable?"

Shen Danmo looked at Pei Yue's eyes, trying to discern the true thoughts of the man opposite him, and said calmly: "Everything is fine in the capital, although there was a short-term turmoil when the news of the start of the war came back, but as An An Hou led the Beijing army on the road to the west, and the restlessness gradually disappeared. Daliang has four large camps in the west, dozens of military villages, more than 30 troops, and Hucheng is in hand, and now there is another right army, Cheng Anhou, who is rushing to personally The western border presides over the overall situation, and everyone believes that the defeat of the Western Wu army will happen sooner or later."

From her almost emotionless narration, Pei Yue faintly noticed some clues, and he asked as calmly as possible: "Is there any connection between Cheng Anhou Lu Min and the past incident in the second year of Jianping?"

Thirty-five years ago, in the second year of Emperor Zhongzong's Jianping, Chu State Mansion, one of the nine founders of the country, was accused of treason. Clan members were almost slaughtered.Gu Hao, the father of Hou Guliang in Guangping, was also implicated in this major case and sentenced to be executed immediately.

In the initial correspondence between the two, Shen Danmo specifically mentioned this matter, but she did not expect that Pei Yue would associate Chu State Mansion with Lu Min.

After pondering for a long time, Shen Danmo slowly shook his head and said, "According to the information we have so far, Lu Min has no connection with the Xian family."

Pei Yue leaned forward slightly, stared at Shen Danmo and asked: "When the late emperor was here, what was Lu Min's relationship with him? Or, is there any relationship between Lu Min and the Chen family that was exterminated 15 years ago?"

Shen Danmo suddenly changed color, and said coldly: "Pei Yue, there are some things you can't investigate."

Pei Yue had no fear on his face, and looked at her firmly.

A flash of panic flashed in Shen Danmo's eyes, and he shook his head after a while and said, "In the first year of Yongning, Lu Min was the head coach of Qi Nian camp in the southern region at that time, and he was not in the capital."

She didn't answer directly, but Pei Yue didn't continue to ask, but said calmly: "So that's how it is."

Ye Qi was listening to the two of them playing riddles, and couldn't help signaling Pei Yue with his eyes not to reveal the Chen family's affairs. After all, this matter is of great importance and there are too many hidden dangers.

Pei Yue nodded slightly, looking at Shen Danmo calmly.

He has already confirmed in his heart that the number one talented woman in Kyoto is lying.
