Chapter 1008 1009 [Man in the Game]

Huazhou, guide city.

Guo Linxi, the deputy commander of Xuanhua Camp, was very busy during this period. He followed Pei Yue's arrangements to readjust the distribution of troops in various places, abolished most of the military stations along the border of more than a thousand miles, and formed a focus on passes and cities.

Defense system. This can try to avoid the barbarians seizing the opportunity to cross the border and attack the city when Pei Yue leads his troops.

At the same time, he was also responsible for contacting the governor's office of Huazhou, preparing all the supplies that Pei Yue needed, and sending them to Qinglong Mansion and Jiuliguan in batches. Now Pei Yue not only had the power to temporarily control the three northern states

The authority relied on the emperor's decree and the notes from the two governments. Neither Guo Linxi nor the provincial governors dared to pervert his orders.

As the sun set, he watched the last batch of supplies leave Fucheng and be sent to Qinglong Mansion, before Guo Linxi dragged his exhausted body back to the Earl's Mansion.

A guest in the mansion named Xie Huaijing was waiting outside the gate early with a slightly anxious look on his face.

Guo Linxi asked calmly: "Where is he?"

Xie Huaijing lowered her voice and replied: "I placed it in the study without attracting the attention of others."

Guo Lin agreed happily and then went straight to the study.

When a capable man in his twenties saw Guo Linxi, he immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted, saying: "I'd like to see you uncle."

"No need to be polite." Guo Linxi walked to the desk and sat down, staring at the man and asked: "How is the situation in the north?"

The young man replied: "Uncle, the Marquis of Zhongshan led the Tibetan front guards to leave Jiuli Pass early the morning before yesterday. Because the uncle had warned not to get close to the cavalry, our people could only watch from a distance. After the Marquis of Zhongshan led the army out of the pass,

, Tai'an Guard Commander Tang Linfen and the two deputy commanders returned to Hunyuan County in Qinglong Prefecture."

Guo Linxi looked calm and asked thoughtfully: "The Marquis of Zhongshan led the Zangfeng Guards into the wilderness, and then more than 10,000 Tai'an Guards were still stationed in Hunyuan County?"

The young man nodded and said: "That was true before the news came back. On April 25th, the day before Zhongshan Hou led the army on the expedition, he held a military meeting in Jiuli Pass. The participants, except for the Zangfeng Guard and the Tai'an Guard,

In addition to the general, there is also a soldier from the border army who escaped from the wilderness. Our people are worried that his whereabouts will be exposed, so we are not able to find out the details of that soldier for the time being."

"No need to investigate." Guo Linxi waved his hand and said calmly: "You have done a good job. Next, you will focus on Hunyuan County. No matter what the Tai'an Guard does, you must tell me as soon as possible."

"Follow orders."

"The deputy commander of the Tai'an Guards named Fu Hongzhi is very good at training scouts. He has made great contributions to Pei Yue. You must be extra careful to avoid being discovered by the other party."

"Yes, uncle."

"Just get down."

Guo Linxi raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows gently, his face looking tired.

Xie Huaijing first walked outside to give some instructions to the soldiers guarding the corridor, then returned to the study and closed the door, asking with concern: "Uncle, do you want to rest for a while?"

Guo Lin was overjoyed and hesitated. He turned to look at the border map hanging on the wall and said in a cryptic tone: "To tell you the truth, ever since I took that step, I have been uneasy and often worried about gains and losses. Now the deal is settled, what should I do?

Everything has been done, and logically there should be no hesitation, but I always feel that the next situation is unpredictable."

Xie Huaijing sighed inwardly. When Guo Linxi made that decision, he tried his best to dissuade her. Unfortunately, he was unable to dispel Xuan Debo's obsession in the end.

At this point, as a Qing guest, of course he could not and did not dare to gloat about his misfortune, so he could only think carefully and said: "Uncle, I would like to inform the man in the capital if you want to, lest Brother Shuyi forcefully bites the uncle."

Guo Linxi pondered: "Brother Shuyi must have suspected that I betrayed him and told the barbarians the marching route of the army, otherwise he would not insist on seeing Pei Yue even when he was seriously injured. Don't worry, the man in Duzhong will naturally know

How should we act? Moreover, as a general who defeated Ge Shuyi, and there is no real evidence, how can your majesty and the princes in the court believe his words?"

Xie Huaijing nodded and said: "My uncle has a sharp gaze and can see through the essence of the problem at a glance. There is one more thing that I don't understand. Since Brother Shuyi told the Marquis of Zhongshan about his doubts, why didn't he ask my uncle for a clear explanation?"

Guo Linxi recalled the meeting with Pei Yue outside the city that day, and couldn't help but said coldly: "Because he didn't think it was necessary. Before Brother Shuyi arrived, Pei Yue asked me to sit here and take charge of logistics chores. The implication is that he

Not only does he not trust me, but he also doesn’t trust all the soldiers in Xuanhua Camp. He only trusts the two guards and horses brought from Kyoto."

Xie Huaijing hesitated for a moment and finally said bluntly: "Uncle, although Wei Guogong has made various promises, Pei Yuejian is in the heart of the emperor and has an irreversible relationship with the eldest prince. If he dies in the wilderness, it will inevitably cause a storm. I wonder if it can be temporarily

Take a step back and at least let him save his life——"

Guo Linxi shook his head and said categorically: "Pei Yue must die."

Xie Huaijing was slightly suffocated. He had always been curious about what kind of magic power Wang Pingzhang had, which could actually make the proud and arrogant Xuan Debo next to him so desperate.

Guo Linxi couldn't help but smile when he saw this: "Wei Guogong has indeed helped me a lot. Without his secret help, it would be difficult for me to cross the threshold and be promoted from commander to deputy commander. But I have also paid back a lot over the years.

The amount of silver sent to the Duke of Wei's palace in the capital is over one million taels, so I don't have to be his minion like some people do."

Xie Huaijing became more and more puzzled and said: "In this case, why don't you be patient for the time being and let the Marquis of Zhongshan win a few times in the wasteland. We previously informed the barbarians of Ge Shuyi's marching route. This matter will have little impact, and Ge Shuyi

There is no evidence, and the court will not go to war over this. But if Pei Yue died in the wilderness, I feel that the court will definitely get to the bottom of it."

Guo Linxi said quietly: "If Pei Yue doesn't die, the barbarians will be destroyed. Then what's the need for the Xuanhua camp to exist? Even the camp will be dismantled, how can I deal with myself? Isn't the planning that I have spent these years just a waste of water?"

"

Xie Huaijing looked conflicted. He knew that with Guo Linxi's qualifications, he could only occupy one-third of an acre of Xuanhua Camp, and there was basically no way to compete with other powerful people in the army.

Guo Linxi's eyes gradually became sharper and he said in a deep voice: "Actually, the best outcome is that Pei Yue wins and then the barbarians' vitality is damaged. He leads his troops back to Kyoto, and northern Xinjiang still needs a large army to guard it. If he can do this, I won't do it.

We have to make this move, but you and I both know that Pei Yue has always left no room for action, and his only purpose of this trip is to completely eradicate the barbarians."

Xie Huaijing agrees with his judgment, but the problem is that taking risks like this is like being on the edge of a cliff. If you are not careful, you will be shattered and your family will be ruined.

After pondering for a moment, he said with worry: "Uncle, I still feel that this move is too dangerous. After all, the Marquis of Zhongshan's ability in leading troops is well known to the world. If he can escape from the wilderness unscathed, he will definitely attack you afterwards.

"

Guo Linxi sneered twice and said slowly: "Haven't you seen that Pei Yue is no longer the concubine of Dingguo who was in a difficult and precarious situation back then. This man has become extremely confident and even arrogant despite his high status at a young age.

He believed that the wilderness was no different from the inland, and that the barbarians were like bandits, so he arbitrarily excluded the border troops and dared to go deep into the wilderness with only more than 10,000 cavalry."

He paused for a moment and said with a gloomy expression: "I know that the Zangfeng Guards are a master of hundreds of battles. They have never been defeated in these years. Even the Pingjiang camp in the Southern Zhou Dynasty was defeated by them. But you should have heard the saying, arrogant

The army will be defeated!"

Xie Huaijing suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but exclaimed: "It turns out that my uncle was planning today's situation two years ago!"

Guo Linxi sighed leisurely, his eyes were particularly complicated, and he said softly: "Actually, this game is not set up for Pei Yue."
