Huazhou, Guide City.

Xuandebo Guo Linxi was dressed in regular clothes. He looked at the middle-aged man opposite who was dusty and weather-stained, and said with a little respect: "Brother Wang, you have worked hard all the way. May I ask if the Duke is in good health?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said: "I have Uncle Robert in mind, and everything will be fine for you, Lord Duke."

Guo Linxi did not dare to be careless. Although the other party was only in charge of the Duke of Wei's palace, he was a long-term attendant of Wang Jiuxuan's father when he was young. Later, he worked beside Wang Pingzhang and served Wang Jiuxuan for several years. He was extremely senior. Those young people

When the descendants of the Wang family saw this person, they all stopped to salute and say hello respectfully.

After a moment of greetings, he asked calmly: "Brother Wang, what do you want to teach me here?"

Wang Daxi said humbly: "My uncle wouldn't dare to say anything about it in person. It's just that after receiving my uncle's secret letter, the eldest young master was a little worried about the situation in the north, so he asked me to come here."

Guo Linxi looked as usual, but felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

He admired Wang Pingzhang very much, but he did not necessarily think highly of Wang Jiuxuan, the eldest grandson of Wei State. Although he had been stationed in the border areas for many years, he was no stranger to the situation and changes in Kyoto. Wang Jiuxuan stayed in the Western Army for several years and established some achievements.

, but there must be some moisture in it. As for his various performances after returning to Beijing, he was ruthlessly crushed by Pei Yue's glory, and even the post of commander of the Forbidden Army was dismissed by Pei Yue.

The overall plan for all the plans on the northern Xinjiang border came from Wang Pingzhang, and the specific execution was personally carried out by Guo Linxi. From Ge Shuyi's tragic defeat and serious injury to now when Pei Yue leads the Tibetan Front Guard deep into the wilderness, everything is developing in the expected direction.

Even though he was unhappy in his heart, Guo Linxi did not show it and said calmly: "Brother Wang, please give me some advice."

Wang Daxi has been serving people for half his life, and it has long been instinct to observe people's behavior. Even if the other party hides it well, he can still detect the change in the atmosphere, so he said more gently: "I don't want to give you advice. The eldest young master just wants to ask my uncle, Tai'an

Are the guards still stationed somewhere on the border?"

Guo Linxi was slightly surprised. Due to the delay in time limit, the secret report he sent to Kyoto only stated that the barbarian raid on Xing'an Prefecture had failed. Pei Yue was mobilizing supplies from various places to prepare for the war. At that time, it was not yet determined how the Beijing camp would advance.

Thinking that Wang Jiuxuan could guess this in Kyoto.

The expression on his face gradually became serious, and he nodded and said: "Yes, the barbarians' sneak attack on Xing'an Prefecture failed. After Pei Yue stayed for a few days, he took the Tibetan Front Guards into the wilderness, leaving the Tai'an Guards to stay in Hunyuan County on the border of Qinglong Prefecture in the north.

."

Wang Daxi asked again: "After Pei Yue entered the wilderness, did he deliberately suppress his marching speed and then be led by our people to the vicinity of the Kuta Mountains?"

Guo Linxi nodded.

A look of worry appeared on Wang Daxi's face, and he sighed softly: "It turns out to be the same as the eldest young master's guess. Uncle Guo, we must prepare for the worst."

Guo Linxi looked at him in confusion. Although Pei Yue had become famous on the battlefield in recent years, the nine thousand barbarian army was by no means a weak force. Moreover, there was a military force secretly supported by Wang Pingzhang hidden near the Kuta Mountains. He personally trained it.

The targets of the ambush troops coming out were Pei Yue and his Tibetan front guards.

The Kuta Mountains are more than four hundred miles away from the border. Even if the Tai'an Guard's tens of thousands of troops received the news and rushed to the rescue, they would not be able to make it in time with their infantry. And until this morning, he had received messages from flying pigeons from the north.

, Tai'an Guard is still stationed in Hunyuan County.

Guo Linxi described the specific situation during this period in detail without missing any details.

After hearing this, Wang Daxi shook his head and said: "Uncle, I think Pei Yue must have seen through that Zhang De was an insider of the barbarians, so he deliberately marched slowly and rushed to the Kuta Mountains in a leisurely manner. After the eldest young master learned that

After your overall plan, it is speculated that Pei Yue will pretend to fall into the trap and enter the trap. At the same time, he will send his troops deep into the wilderness to raid the various tribes of the barbarians and cut off their retreat."

There was a complicated look in his eyes, and he couldn't help but think of the time when he followed Wang Jiuxuan to the western border, watched with his own eyes as Pei Yue forced Lu Min to commit suicide, and then used a trick to keep the famous Western Wu general Zhang Qingbai in the dark. How different is the situation today.

resemblance.

I just regret that the eldest young master is imprisoned in the mansion. If he can personally take charge of Northern Xinjiang, Pei Yue may not be so relaxed.

Although there are secret messages between Kyoto and Huazhou, there is still a lag. After Wang Jiuxuan discovered something was wrong with the war in northern Xinjiang, he had to ask him to come day and night, otherwise Guo Linxi might not obey orders.

Guo Linxi showed a hint of embarrassment and couldn't help but argue: "According to the wishes of the eldest young master, Pei Yue divided his troops to raid the rear of the barbarians. If he has fewer troops, wouldn't it be more likely for us to succeed? Brother Wang, the focus of this battle is

Killing Pei Yue and defeating the Tibetan front guard are the key points that the Duke of the State has repeatedly urged. As long as we can accomplish this goal, not to mention the nine thousand barbarian army, even the army we have spent so much effort to raise can be destroyed."

Wang Daxi had a smooth temperament and did not forcibly deny his views. He just said calmly: "Of course I understand what the Duke of Guo is thinking. The question is why Pei Yue wants to go deep alone? He can completely lead the Zangfeng Guard and Tai'an Guard into the wasteland.

, with twenty-five thousand elites accompanying them, the barbarians could only flee upon hearing the news."

Guo Lin said happily: "He must have seen something fishy about the fall of Jiuliguan, so he asked the Tai'an guards to stay at the border and keep an eye on the Xuanhua camp, or in other words, on myself."

Wang Daxi shook his head and said in a deep voice: "The eldest young master asked me to tell my uncle that if Pei Yue really leaves Tai'an Guard behind, it means that he has used another deception trick, and the barbarians will be defeated in the wasteland battle."

A thought flashed through Guo Linxi's mind, and he suddenly changed his expression and said: "Impossible! My people have been staring at Hunyuan County until the secret report came this morning. Commander Tang Linfen and deputy commander Fu Hongzhi are still in the city.

.During this period, apart from assisting in the reconstruction of the destroyed villages and towns on the border, the Tai'an Guard did not send a single soldier to the wilderness."

Wang Daxi sighed: "What about before? My uncle just mentioned that the Tai'an Guard suddenly accelerated after passing Guide Mansion, and then arrived at the border in a very short time. Did my uncle send someone to keep an eye on it at that time? That is to say,

, during the five days from the end of the battle of Xing'an Fucheng to Pei Yue leading his troops out of the customs, were my uncle's people also keeping an eye on Hunyuan County?"

Guo Linxi's body swayed slightly and his face gradually turned pale.

Wang Daxi smiled bitterly and said slowly: "Now it seems that the eldest young master's speculation should be correct. Uncle, the battle in the wasteland is a foregone conclusion. No matter how much we talk here, it is beyond our reach. For the current plan, we must use

Kyoto is the most important thing. The eldest young master said that if Pei Yue counterattacks the Northern Xinjiang plan, we must keep him in Huazhou!"

Guo Linxi took a deep breath, raised his hands and saluted, "Brother Wang, please give me your orders. I will definitely follow the orders of the eldest young master."

Wang Daxi also stood up and returned the courtesy: "My uncle's words are serious. I also ask your uncle to withdraw the masters sent out and stop caring about the outcome in the wasteland. When Pei Yuesheng returns, he will definitely come to see my uncle."

Trouble, that's our last chance. The eldest young master asked me to bring a group of experts over, who can help me at the critical moment."

Guo Linxi looked grim. Pei Yue died in the wilderness and died in his Earl's Mansion. The former could still blame the barbarians, but the latter was actually no different from rebellion. After all, that young man was a first-class country favored by His Majesty.

Hou.

Wang Daxi said seriously: "Uncle, we must not let Pei Yue return to Kyoto."

After a long time, Guo Linxi gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, I will follow Brother Wang's words, there is others but no me!"

Wang Daxi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the eldest young master had been studying Pei Yue's life over the years and had personally seen his tricks on the battlefield. If he hadn't made this trip, Guo Linxi would probably have been tricked by him.

More importantly, it will destroy the Duke's plan in Kyoto.
