Invincible son

Chapter 989 890 [Suspicious Clouds in Northern Xinjiang]

"This war was a conspiracy from the very beginning!"

Ge Shuyi was extremely angry, but because of his serious injury, he couldn't react more violently.

Pei Yue recalled this person's life, and was a little surprised that he could say this sentence.Judging from the information collected from various sources, Ge Shuyi was born in an ordinary general family, and his ancestors only reached the first level of commander, leaving him with the title of founding county male.After joining the army, Ge Shuyi did not show too dazzling military talents, and generally only received a good evaluation.

But it was such a young general who was not outstanding from birth to ability, but his promotion in the army was very smooth. He became the commander of the first battalion in his early 40s, and his title was also conferred as the third-class Xitinghou.

Even if it is just the head coach of the Xuanhua Camp, who is jokingly called by many people as a stepmother, this is a prominent military position that most generals dream of.

After all, only by staying in this level of position can one hope to enter the core circle of Daliang military.

Pei Yue has practiced for many years, and gradually honed his ability to see the essence through appearances. Judging from Ge Shuyi's promotion route over the years, Wang Pingzhang is a name that can never be avoided.Just like Lan Yu, the commander of the Yaoshan camp in the southern region and Xiongwuhou, he doesn't have much social contact with Wang Pingzhang at ordinary times, but behind his several important promotions, there is Wang Pingzhang's shadow.

The battle in northern Xinjiang was both simple and complicated, completely different from what Pei Yue had faced before.

The simplicity lies in the fact that the barbarians have limited strength and may have the upper hand for a while, but as soon as the Zangfengwei and Tai'anwei arrive on the battlefield, their advantage will gradually disappear.The complexity lies in the fact that the rise of the barbarians is too strange. At least according to the knowledge Pei Yue has, without the intervention of external forces, the barbarians will never be so powerful.

With the outbreak of the war, the well-founded performance of the barbarians was enough to prove Pei Yue's judgment.

Although they looked like beasts on the outside, they attacked the military station, stopped suddenly, lured the enemy deep, defeated the Liang army, and still did not advance aggressively when they had the advantage. This series of decisions was calm and cunning, and they clearly learned a lot in the art of war Content.

When he was still in the capital, Pei Yue had doubts about these two people, but as time went by, the balance in his heart kept tilting towards Wang Pingzhang.If Wang Pingzhang planned the war in northern Xinjiang, then Ge Shuyi's urgent statement at this moment would seem intriguing.

With this in mind, Pei Yue asked slowly: "Marquis Xiting, do you have evidence in your hand?"

Ge Shuyi suffocated slightly, obviously not used to the young Shangguan's straightforward style, his anger could not help subsiding a little, then shook his head and said: "I don't have any evidence, but there are too many incomprehensible things in this battle."

Pei Yue said, "Please tell me."

Ge Shuyi moved his body a little, and said sincerely: "Pei Hou may not know that the barbarians live in the wasteland and are divided into at least 40 tribes. Most tribes only have hundreds or thousands of people, and the largest number does not exceed 3000. Resources are scarce, but food is good, mainly because salt and ironware are very rare, barbarian tribes often fight for these necessities, and many tribes are feuds."

Pei Yue said seriously: "So you want to say that this time the barbarians gathered thousands of people and went south because one of the tribes is close to the unified wasteland?"

Ge Shuyi said in admiration: "Peihou Mingjian, this is the problem. As the commander of Xuanhua Camp, I shoulder the responsibility of guarding the land and the people. How can I turn a blind eye to the situation of the barbarians? Until the fourth year of Kaiping, I was still fighting with the barbarians on the wasteland. I kept in touch with several tribes of my family and asked them to provide me with information on the wasteland on time, and in return I also..."

He suddenly hesitated to speak, but Pei Yue understood, waved his hands and said, "This is a trick, so don't be nervous, Xitinghou. I won't accuse you of collaborating with the enemy because of this."

Ge Shuyi smiled gratefully, but the smile affected the injury, and the pain made him frown, and then he spoke faster: "The strange thing is that since the second half of the fifth year of Kaiping, those tribes have refused to provide me with information. .In the sixth year of Kaiping, that is, last year, they even returned the salt that I sent people to.”

Pei Yue pondered and said: "In this way, until the second half of the fifth year of Kaiping, the tribes on the wasteland were still in the same state as before. But in just a little over a year, someone unified the wasteland, at least conquering most of the tribes. "

Ge Shuyi breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly echoed: "That's right! I led troops into the wasteland earlier, and found that the tribe that unified the wasteland was named Jiankun tribe, and their leader was Lie Jiaomi. Judging from the news I heard before , this Jiankun tribe is indeed quite powerful, but this is only compared to other tribes. No matter how powerful Lie Jiaomi is, it is impossible to rely on more than 2000 people in the Jiankun tribe to be able to fight in a year. Unify the wasteland."

Pei Yue didn't express his opinion immediately. He carefully recalled the history he had read in his previous life, trying to find similar examples.

The answer came quickly, whether it was the Mongolian iron cavalry or the Jurchen who were invincible, these grassland regimes were indeed very weak at first, but once they were given a chance to rise against the wind, they were like sparks falling into dry wood. A fire can start a prairie fire.

Ge Shuyi realized that Pei Yue's thinking was different from his own, so he tried his best to persuade him: "Pei Hou, the barbarians in the wasteland are different from the minority groups in the heart of the Central Plains. By the fifth year of Kaiping, they were still in a rather barbaric and backward state. Well, many barbarians even drink their own blood. How could it be possible for them to form such a momentum of unity in just over a year? If Lie Jiaomi had no guidance from outsiders, he would definitely only know how to kill people like before, and it would be impossible to gather them together The hearts of the other tribes, and..."

He hesitated again here.

Pei Yue nodded slightly and said, "Continue talking."

Ge Shuyi no longer hesitated, and summoned up his courage to say: "In the battle in the wilderness, the barbarians dispatched at least 3000 people, and all of them carried weapons. Although they were not the standard weapons of Daliang, I can still confirm that most of them were newly made. Yes! Perhaps to deceive people, these weapons look nondescript."

The sharp light in Pei Yue's eyes flashed away, and even Feng Yi who was standing beside him couldn't help feeling angry.

On the battlefield with bare hands and holding a weapon are two completely different concepts, and for the people of northern Xinjiang and the soldiers guarding the border, there may be a chance to fight for their lives when facing a group of barbarians who are savage and burly, but when the opponent is also like Liang Zheng Armed like soldiers, the gap in individual strength between the two sides will widen infinitely.

"Ha ha."

Pei Yue was expressionless and his tone was cold.

Ge Shuyi said: "I can't figure it out, why do barbarians have so many weapons? What's going on?"

At this moment, tears welled up in his eyes, and the originally tall man Angzang was lying on the rattan chair, looking extremely aggrieved.

Pei Yue let out a foul breath slowly, unwilling to speak too thoroughly on this issue, and instead asked: "Is this the reason why you prevented me from going deep into the wilderness?"

Ge Shuyi raised his hand with difficulty to wipe away the cloudy tears from the corners of his eyes, shook his head and said, "Pei Hou, although I led five thousand sharp soldiers to defeat by the barbarians this time, I can't lie about the military situation to affect your judgment. 3000 people were dispatched, but based on my previous understanding of them, these 3000 people are definitely not all the belongings of the barbarians!"

Pei Yue's expression gradually became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "You mean to say that the barbarians made such a big battle this time, but they moved back and forth across the border just to lure me into the army to go deep into the wilderness, and Victory forces us to back down?"

Ge Shuyi was full of resentment and had nothing to vent. He gritted his teeth and said, "Not only that, Marquis Pei, the reason why I fell into the ambush of the barbarians is definitely because someone leaked my marching route."

Pei Yue got up and said, "Do you have any doubts?"

Ge Shuyi glanced at Feng Yi, and said firmly after a few moments: "This person is the deputy commander of Xuanhua Daying, Xuan De Bo Guo Linxi!"

Feng Yi couldn't help but recall that just a few hours ago, that Deputy Marshal Guo had dealt with it calmly in front of his young master. Compared with that, Ge Shuyi didn't know if it was because of the disastrous defeat that he would be completely indifferent in front of Pei Yue. Accused a real powerful Wu Xun with factual evidence.

Pei Yue walked up to him, didn't care about his status, squatted down and said, "Xitinghou, even though I believe your accusation, I still want to ask, why did Guo Linxi do this? Colluding with barbarians to frame you, the coach, He may be able to successfully squeeze you out and climb up, but the actions of the barbarian are obviously more than that, how will he finish when he started?"

Ge Shuyi was stunned.

Pei Yue sighed lightly, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Forget it, you heal your wounds in Fucheng first, and some things will be discussed after Ben Hou comes back. By the way, you left the cronies who were in charge of contacting the barbarian tribes in Under the tent of this Marquis."

Ge Shuyi said in surprise: "Does Marquis Pei still want to go to the wasteland?"

Pei Yue shook his head, and said in a deep voice, "It's not that the Marquis is going, but the barbarians have already gone south."
