In the temporary camp on the south side of the Kuta Mountains, a young man was carried in from Pei Yue's commander's tent.

Seeing him struggling to stand up and salute, Pei Yue walked closer and said, "Don't move if you are so seriously injured. If you become disabled, even if your father doesn't say anything, he will probably resent me for the rest of his life."

This is the first time Yang Ding has met Pei Yue. Compared with the young and powerful first-class prince he imagined, Pei Yue at this moment is more like an elder with a gentle temperament - even though the age difference between the two is only one year.

He said slightly nervously: "I am unable to salute, so please forgive me. My father respects the Marquis very much, and has repeatedly told me that it is my duty to lead my disciples to fight to the death on the battlefield. As long as I am not afraid of danger, I will fight bravely."

, let alone being disabled, even if he dies on the battlefield and is shrouded in horse leather, he will be proud of being humble. But if he is humble and greedy for life and is afraid of death, even if he has to go back completely, he will not be able to step into the house."

After speaking, he gradually became fluent and as sincere and calm as usual.

Pei Yue smiled slightly, turned to look at Gu Fan and asked, "How is his injury?"

Gu Fan was not only talented in martial arts, he also taught himself medical skills when he was traveling in the wilderness. After all, there was no doctor to treat his injuries in the wilderness or remote villages.

He glanced at Yang Ding and saw the curiosity but fearlessness in the young man's eyes, so he said calmly: "A lot of bones were broken and the internal injuries were serious. Fortunately, Wei Rui handled it in time and did not aggravate his injuries. Good luck.

After a few months of cultivation, the external injuries can be healed, but if the foundation is severely damaged, most of the martial arts cultivation will be lost."

Yang Ding's eyes were slightly sad, but he soon smiled again.

Pei Yue glared at Gu Fan and said angrily: "If you have something to say, say it. What's wrong with hiding it?"

Gu Fan stood blankly.

Before letting him leave, Pei Yue said again: "After you recover from your injuries, would you like to come to Beiying and become a guerrilla officer?"

According to the military system of Daliang, there are 500 people in a capital, and the leader will be a guerrilla. In fact, given Yang Ding’s family background and background, plus his military exploits of killing more than ten barbarians, it is not out of the ordinary to be promoted from a pawn to a guerrilla. But Bei

The battalion is obviously different. Most of the disciples of martial arts generals can only start as infantry, and then gradually advance through the ranks based on their solid military merit.

Pei Yue ordered his people to send him back to the camp, and said to Gu Fan, who was about to leave to boil the medicine: "Although I brought military doctors with me on this trip, most of the people are injured, and there are enough medicines but not enough manpower. You will boil

Leave the medicine matter to my soldiers and go to the camp to help, at least there won't be any more deaths."

Pei Yue said helplessly: "Okay, okay, it's so verbose. If my wife asks me about it in the future, I will just say that it was my idea and it has nothing to do with you. Aren't you just worried about this? If you really don't want to help Yang Ding, how about you?"

How could you leave half of what you said?"

Wei Rui lowered his head and said: "I accept my order from my humble position."

Then he heard the young marquis saying behind him: "Get that ginseng."

Although his tone was calm, murderous intent was already filling his teeth.

Wei Rui pondered: "What the Marquis means is to clean up the barbarians first, and then move all the remaining people to the three northern states?"

Everyone immediately became serious and followed Pei Yue to the sand table. Wei Rui was the first to speak: "Master Hou, we have figured out the specific location of Xiata Mountain and also have a preliminary understanding of the geography of the wasteland. Now the barbarian army has already

If defeated, shall we clean them from south to north? How to deal with the old, weak, women and children of the barbarian tribes?"

Pei Yue smiled and said, "I'm here to help you."

Pei Yue laughed dumbly, and Yang Ding looked confused.

"He is just being pretentious on the surface, but in fact he really wants to do these things, otherwise I wouldn't be able to instruct him." Pei Yue brought up the topic in one word, and then said to the generals: "Let's get down to business now."

Wei Rui responded solemnly: "Yes!"

Pei Yue shook his head and said: "You don't have to worry about things in the court. Besides, I don't want you to kill all the barbarians. Although we won the war, there are still some barbarians who escaped and will definitely be hidden among the barbarian tribes.

Among them, what you have to do is to identify them clearly, and you are not allowed to let go of any barbarians who have the blood of the people of Daliang on their hands."

Pei Yue said calmly: "The war is over, and Wei Rui will preside over the rest."

Yang Ding said with great gratitude: "Thank you, Lord Marquis, for your appreciation. I am deeply honored!"

Wei Rui hesitated slightly and said: "Master Hou, if we kill all the barbarians, I'm afraid those censors in the court will make a fuss."

Gu Fan shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly: "If there is something that can be greatly tonic, I will immediately help him brew a unique tonic, which can make up for it."

Pei Yue looked at Wei Rui and said: "I will give you five thousand cavalry, in addition to thousands of infantry from Tai'an Guard and eight thousand civilians. Yesterday I sent someone to report to Tang Linfen on horseback. Those eight thousand civilians should be there soon."

Come here. As for the strategy in the future, you only need to remember four words: plow the court and sweep the holes."

When he heard the word "now", Chen Xianda had no reaction, but Meng Longfu frowned slightly.

The reason is, on the one hand, Pei Yue's strict military management, and on the other hand, almost every soldier in the Beiying had numerous military exploits, especially the Tibetan front guards.

Yang Ding finally understood, but just as he was about to refuse, Pei Yue stopped him and said, "This is a military order."

Pei Yue said slowly: "This matter needs to be discussed again. It is not only a matter of how to deal with the barbarians, but I also have a plan in mind for the development of northern Xinjiang. You can do the preliminary work first, and wait for me to return to Kyoto.

Your Majesty and the two masters have discussed a safe solution. There is enough food in the mountains, so you can use this place as a stronghold and then clean up the wasteland."

The seventh year of Kaiping, May 13th.

Wei Rui organized his thoughts clearly, nodded and said: "I understand, I understand. Lord Marquis, are you going back to Beijing now?"

Gu Fan said with an unkind expression: "Think clearly, my family only has one century-old ginseng root. My little sister begged her father to give it to you. Now that you are using it for him, how will you explain it to my little sister in the future?"

Pei Yue looked around at everyone and said calmly: "The destruction of the barbarian army does not mean that the matter is over. The enemies outside have been dealt with, and the next step is to clean up the beasts hiding at home."

Pei Yue added: "Meng Longfu stayed as deputy general."

Meng Longfu said: "Follow the order."

Pei Yue continued: "Now we are just the effective force to defeat the barbarians. It will not be possible to completely solve the barbarian troubles. Even without the support of the scum and internal agents in the court, the barbarians will sooner or later cross the border to invade, because the living environment of the wasteland is too

It's bad. Now they have a precedent of going south. If we can't deal with it reasonably, the old thing will definitely happen again in the future."

Gu Fan was silent for a long time, opened his mouth and uttered two words silently, and then left helplessly, making other generals in the tent want to laugh but dare not laugh.

Feng Yi took the order and left.

…

Pei Yue personally led more than 5,000 Tibetan front guard cavalry, with Chen Xianda as the vanguard general, and Gu Fan took more than 1,000 Liang people and the bones of the soldiers who died in the battle, left the camp in the Kuta Mountains, and meandered towards the south.

The team was not moving very fast, but there were more than twenty riders who set off first, all with one person and two horses, and rushed to the three states in the northern border of Daliang as quickly as possible.

For the vast majority of officials and civilians, these messengers brought exciting news.

But for a few people, it is more like a life-threatening talisman.
