Invincible son

Chapter 433 432 [Silent Plain]

Quiet is an adjective, and there are many words with similar meanings, but no matter which one, it seems that it is difficult to use it in the words and sentences describing the Gaoyang Plain.

The territory here is vast and the scenery is magnificent. The north wind blows over the snowy area, and the only thing that can be seen in the distance is the excitement of the heart.

But to Pei Yue at this moment, not only was it quiet here, it even reached the point of dead silence.

On the seventh day of the division, he was located north of Jiming Village and east of Wufeng Village, only a hundred miles away from Zhang Qingbai's previous camp, and it would only take an hour for the cavalry under his command to charge at high speed.But as mentioned earlier, the current Gaoyang Plain presents a very strange atmosphere as a whole, making him think repeatedly about his next move.

Ordinarily, this area is now occupied by the Western Wu people, and they should be in danger at any time, but the real situation is quite the opposite. It seems that the Western Wu people can't see these Liang cavalry at all.

The distribution of Zhang Qingbai's troops is not a secret. 7 people were deployed to approach the Guping Camp many times, 3 people besieged the Jiming Village, which was still in Daliang's hands, and the remaining 5 people were stationed in Lulong, Daokou and Xishui military villages.

Pei Yue's initial goal was to stare at the grain roads of the people of Xiwu. Although the grain roads behind the West Wu were safe because there were [-] cavalry stationed near Hucheng to protect them, there was no way to get from Daokouzhai to Guping Camp. The two directions of Zang Fengwei and Jiming Village are the key targets of Zang Fengwei.

According to Pei Yue's plan, the Seventh Route Cavalry did not approach Guping Camp or Jiming Village in order to avoid being entangled by the Western Wu army. However, repeated sneak attacks and attacks on their luggage team could satisfy their own supplies on the one hand, and on the other hand It is to disturb the morale of the two armies in Western Wu.

Everything went well in the first three days. The three thousand cavalry led by Pei Yue himself captured two Western Wu luggage teams, killed and set fire to them and left easily without being caught up by the Western Wu cavalry.However, from the fourth day onwards, the situation changed suddenly. Just like what Pei Yue felt now, the vast Gaoyang Plain suddenly became quiet.

It is startlingly peaceful.

When Pei Yue was thinking, the others didn't dare to disturb him, only Ye Qineng stepped forward and asked softly, "Is it troublesome?"

Pei Yue shook his head and said: "I want to attract Zhang Qingbai's attention, so as to buy Marquis Cheng An a certain amount of time. Although Lu Longzhi, the military master, behaved very poorly, I hope it was just his negligence. "

Ye Qi said worriedly: "Could it be that Marquis Cheng An is really useless?"

Pei Yue smiled wryly and said: "Even if our emperor is good at the emperor's mind, he will not appoint mediocre people in key positions. Marquis Cheng An has a brilliant resume and has experienced the test of the battlefield. Ranking first, logically speaking, such a one-sided situation should not happen. Ye Qi, to tell you the truth, I suspected that there was something wrong with Marquis Cheng An when I was still in the capital."

Ye Qi looked at him in shock, and murmured: "You mean to say?"

The two had long been able to read each other's eyes, Pei Yue nodded and said: "I suspect that Lu Min has something to do with what happened back then, either it is the case of the Xian family in Chu State Duke's Mansion, or the Chen family's massacre."

Ye Qi's face became serious, even if she was not interested in the court structure, she still knew how important Lu Min's status was.

if……

She felt a little cold all over her body.

Pei Yue sighed lightly: "I hope my guess is wrong, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable."

Ye Qi hesitated and said: "Although Lu Min is the commander of the Western Army, you said before that both the commander of the Fourth Battalion and the Marquis of Xiangcheng from Hucheng have a certain degree of autonomy. Does he still dare to drag them into rebellion?"

Pei Yue shook his head slightly and said: "Rebellion is obviously a joke, Lu Min is not so stupid. The most important thing is that he doesn't need to rebel, he just needs to use Zhang Qingbai's continuous offensive to consume all the vital strength of the Daliang border army. It is tantamount to abolishing a leg of the imperial court."

The Three Kingdoms came together and peeped at each other. If the Western Army was wiped out by Zhang Qingbai's soldiers, how long would the girder with only one leg survive?
Ye Qi was completely shocked by Pei Yue's bold speculation, she couldn't even imagine what kind of scene it was.

"Shouldn't that be the case?" She forced a smile.

Pei Yue said with emotion: "Of course I don't want this to happen, but Wuwei Hou Ningzhong is Lu Min's confidant. From Lu Min's point of view, why did he let a waste be the coach of the Guping camp? This is one of them. I couldn't figure it out by rushing into the battle. It was clearly aimed at defeat. If this defeat can still be blamed on Ning Zhong, a good-for-nothing, what about the second time? Lu Min lost in the first battle. [-] Beijing troops, what an absurd and terrifying defeat!"

He paused, then said solemnly: "I mentioned Chen Xizhi to you a few days ago, and then I wondered why the fog was created in the first place. The Hengduan Mountains are a hundred miles away from the capital. This distance is not short but it is by no means Long, if you want to bypass Jingying's eyes and develop for so many years, can you succeed only by relying on someone like Pei Rong?"

Ye Qi asked: "You doubt Lu Min?"

Pei Yue nodded and said: "At that time, I didn't know enough about Daliang's military. I always thought that this kind of thing was not outrageous, but later I gradually realized that without the support and protection of a big man, how could Chen Xizhi escape the prison of Taishitai Pavilion? Check? There aren’t many big men with such abilities, except for Wang Pingzhang, only Lu Min seems to fit in, but Chen Xizhi’s whole heart is to kill Wang Pingzhang, so how can he cooperate with him? From this point of view, the answer seems to be self-evident.”

Although most of Pei Yue's inferences were speculations and there was no evidence to support them, Ye Qi believed in his judgment.

"It's very troublesome." She was a little worried about her lover.

"The most troublesome thing is that Zhang Qingbai ignored us bugs at all, and obviously used the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the wild to turn us into wild ghosts wandering on the plains. Then he completed his work and directly destroyed the Guping Camp with an army of 1, and took advantage of the trend. Ling There are only more than [-] Xiang troops in the hands of Xue Tao in the prefecture, facing the cavalry like tigers and wolves of Western Wu, I am afraid that they would not even dare to fight face to face."

Pei Yue gritted his teeth and said, the continuous wind, food and sleeping in the open had stained his face, and his cheeks were much thinner, but his eyes were brighter, like a very hungry wolf in the dark night.

"Report! Commander Fu of the Right Army appeared more than ten miles to the east, and he is leading the army towards here." A scout came quickly on horseback and said loudly.

"Let's go, let's hear what Hongzhi has discovered."

Pei Yue led Ye Qi to urge the horse to go eastward, Deng Zai led the soldiers followed closely behind, and the large troops followed slowly.

The news Fu Hongzhi brought was very simple, but it shocked Pei Yue beyond words.

"My lord, Zhang Qingbai wants to attack the Guping camp."
