Invincible son

Chapter 467 466 [Tombstone]

Kaiping five years, December [-]th.

The southern battlefield in the western border of Daliang.

With the end of the Battle of Guping, Zhang Qingbai's infantry had lost more than [-] elite soldiers, and the Western Wu's Eastern Expedition had been completely declared a failure.After meeting with Du Changqing's infantry and the cavalry who had gone south before, the general of Zhennan withdrew his troops in embarrassment, gathering the defenders of the three military villages of Daokou, Wufeng, and Lili along the way, as well as the army of the camp behind, with a total of about [-] remnants and defeated generals , retreating westward with endless hatred.

Tang Youzhi, Marquis of Jining, as the commander-in-chief of the Liangxi Army, led the army in pursuit after completing the fatal blow outside the Guping Army City.The elite infantry consisting of 4 Longbow Army, 4 Jinshui Army, and 1 Jing Army launched an endless revenge on Wu Army.

Wei Rui and Gu Mang led [-] cavalry to join in the pursuit. They did not make a move in the confrontation with Du Changqing before, and they always kept a suitable distance. Therefore, after Zhang Qingbai sent the cavalry south, they were not entangled by the opponent.

It's just that no one could have imagined that Pei Yue used one hand to change the situation of the battlefield to change the situation of the battlefield abruptly. Zhang Qingbai, who has always used his troops steadily, became obsessed with the Guping camp, so that he was defeated in the end.

When the news of Zhang Qingbai's defeat came, Gu Qiudao, the Marquis of Qucheng in the south of Hucheng, finally understood why the tortoise Xiao Jin dared to go out of the city to fight.

Although the iron cavalry of the Western Wu Dynasty is powerful, the Hucheng defenders trained by Xiao Jin are also elite soldiers in hundreds of battles. The two sides fought fiercely for several days and there was no winner until Gu Qiudao received Zhang Qingbai's request for help. The elite cavalry who had lasted for more than a month could only go south to meet them.

During the Battle of Hucheng, Pei Yue and Zang Fengwei performed quite well. They and the Hucheng cavalry were responsible for protecting the flanks of the infantry formation.

This made Xiao Jin very satisfied.

He didn't like or dislike Pei Yue, he only knew that in the war between the north and the south, this young dignitary had made great contributions, and he could be called No. 1 in great service.The other party is very young, and if he wants to give instructions to his command based on his merits, although he will not be able to be manipulated, it will be an uncomfortable thing after all.

Fortunately, none of this happened, Pei Yue behaved extremely low-key.

The two didn't communicate too much. After the Western Wu cavalry went south to meet Zhang Qingbai, Xiao Jin left [-] troops to garrison Hucheng, and personally led [-] troops to go south to join Tang Youzhi.Pei Yue did not follow the army. Not only did he return the longbow cavalry and Jinshui cavalry to Tang Youzhi and Luo Huanzhang, but even the main force of the Tibetan front guard was temporarily led by Wei Rui, and he continued to pursue Wu Jun to seek greater victories.

After communicating with Xiao Jin and Tang Youzhi, Pei Yue led a thousand Qingqi back to Guping camp.

It has been seven months since he came to Lingzhou at the end of May, and he hasn't had much rest in the past six months.Although he had worked hard all the way, he had gained a lot. Leaving aside the countless contributions he made, the rapid growth on the battlefield alone was very worthwhile.

All the way eastward, the closer you get to the Guping camp, the more you can feel the cruelty of the war.

Hundred miles of wilderness, dead bodies everywhere.

Fortunately, the weather was so cold that there was no danger of the corpse rotting and causing a plague for the time being. This was also the most important reason why Pei Yue decided to return early.

The northern entrance of the rift valley is the place where three thousand warriors of the Tibetan front guard are heroic.

The traces of that day's hard battle were still there, and the soldiers began to search for and move the corpses of their comrades, and Pei Yue also joined in to do the same thing.

After an unknown amount of time, a slender figure came to him.

Looking at his silent and haggard face, Ye Qi felt a little distressed, but she didn't say anything to comfort her, she just asked calmly, "Is the overall situation settled?"

Pei Yue nodded at her, and then said: "The main force of Wu Jun's cavalry is still there, and the infantry has been beaten to pieces, so we can only choose to retreat. Tang Youzhi and Xiao Jin are both veterans in the battlefield, and they are very good at beating dogs in the water. Our loss this time It’s not small, but after all, Western Wu invaded the territory with the power of the whole country, this battle is enough to seriously damage their vitality, and they will never be able to use swords again within ten years.”

Ye Qi looked a little more relaxed, and said with emotion: "Could it be that you want to give credit to them when you come back at this time?"

The two had known each other for a long time, and Pei Yue was not surprised that she could understand his own thoughts, and said calmly: "I have done enough, and if I carry it on my body, it will only make the big shots in the court afraid. Tang Youzhi and the others also understand my intentions." Mind, it’s good for everyone.”

At this moment, Deng Zai came hurriedly, first saluted Ye Qi, and then said in a low voice: "Master, I found Shang Yu."

Pei Yue's body shook slightly.

Ye Qi quickly grabbed his arm and looked at him worriedly.

Pei Yue showed a bitter smile and said, "I'm fine."

Although the weather is very cold now, the corpse is still not decomposed, but after all, nearly ten days have passed, and Shang Yu's face looks a little hideous.Pei Yue didn't seem to realize it, he stood quietly by the side, looking at the face that always had a cautious expression in his memory, it seemed that this was the first time he had seen such a ferocious appearance.

This is an ordinary person from a poor family, without Wei Rui's qualifications as a famous general, without Fu Hongzhi's prominent family background, without Chen Xianda's boldness, and without the calmness and sophistication of Meng Longfu. Among the young generals who followed Pei Yue first, Shang Yu seems to be the most inconspicuous one.But Pei Yue saw in him the shadow of himself struggling in the mud in his previous life, so he had high hopes for him.

However, now, he was still not against the ruthlessness of fate, and died in the night before dawn.

Looking at more than ten wounds on his body, Pei Yue lowered his eyes, and then bowed in salute.

Everyone beside him, including Ye Qi, bowed to the three thousand warriors of the Tibetan front guard represented by Shang Yu.

Pei Yue didn't make an impassioned speech, but said to Deng Zai solemnly: "Go find someone to carve a stele, and engrave the list of all the soldiers who died in the Tibetan front guard and their deeds. I want to erect a stele for them here."

"Yes, young master!" Deng Zai responded, and immediately led a few soldiers to the east through Guping Military City.

For the next three days, Pei Yue stayed here, constantly looking for and collecting the corpses of his comrades who died in battle. During this period, Mo Moyun sent people to invite him several times, but Pei Yue ignored him.

After the corpses were collected, the living went to find dry wood near the rift valley and cremated the comrades.

There was only one thought in Pei Yue's mind, although it was impossible to bring them home alive, at least their bones should be brought back.

Until this time, Mo Moyun finally came here in person, and did not criticize Pei Yue for his almost rude behavior before, but just sighed softly: "I will do the follow-up things for you, your husband sent someone to look for you."

Pei Yue looked at him in bewilderment.

Mo Moyun said with a complicated expression: "He wants to take you to meet someone."
