Chapter 1180 1181 [A little awe-inspiring energy] (6)
Kyoto, Duke Wei's Mansion.
Pei Yue finally had time to come back after three days, and strode into Qingya Villa without waiting for the maid to tell him.
The atmosphere in the Nuan Pavilion was extremely warm. Gu Zhen and Lin Shuyue were chatting with Ye Qi, while Taohua was playing backgammon with a maid in front of the window. It seemed that the situation was not good for her, and her eyebrows were deeply furrowed into the Chinese character "Chuan".
After seeing Pei Yue come in, everyone except Ye Qi quickly stood up to greet him. Taohua jumped out of the chair with surprise on her face, messing up the chessboard with her, and said charmingly: "Master!"
Pei Yue glanced at the maid with red cheeks who was bowing respectfully. He couldn't help but raise his hand to rub Taohua's head, and said with a smile: "I dare to bully your sister Ye's maid here. I think you are itchy."
"No, it was accidental." Taohua stuck out her tongue, and then carefully glanced at Ye Qi.
Ye Qidao: "Taohua is very good, don't scare her, or she won't come to my place in the future."
Everyone laughed.
Sometimes Pei Yue can't tell whether he has a maid or a naughty sister. Fortunately, Taohua never gets arrogant and gets along well with all the maids and women in the house.
He knew how to measure, so he didn't continue to lecture him. He just smiled and said: "Okay, let's go out and play. I know you are nervous here."
Taohua smiled sweetly, saluted, and then pulled the maid away.
Ye Qi sat next to the smoke cage and said with a smile: "Isn't Xifu busy today?"
Pei Yue walked over to her and sat down, raised his hand and gently caressed her belly, lowered his body and listened, and said softly: "No matter how busy you are, you have to come back and see if the little one has been good these days?"
If Gu and Lin were not around, Ye Qi would also be willing to be gentle with him. At this moment, he was a little embarrassed and said: "How could there be any movement so soon? You... you should be more honest."
Pei Yue sighed softly, then sat up straight.
Seeing this, Gu Zhen couldn't help but asked with concern: "What's wrong?"
Pei Yue looked at her steadily and said seriously: "Sister Zhen'er, don't be anxious."
Gu Zhen immediately blushed and said with shame, "Ms. sir!"
Pei Yue looked at Lin Shuyue again and said seriously: "Don't be anxious, Shuyue, I will continue to work hard for my husband."
Lin Shuyue was calmer than Gu Zhen, she pursed her lips and smiled softly: "It seems that the border war is going well. The young master has not been so relaxed for many days."
Although she was not the first to follow Pei Yue, she was far ahead of others in that matter. She had obviously entered the state of an old married couple, and would not be too shy with a few verbal jokes.
Pei Yue smacked his lips and saw Ye Qi and Gu Zhen looking over. There was obvious worry on the latter's face, so he stopped joking and said firmly: "There will be no war in the south for the time being. The monarchs and ministers of Southern Zhou are still here."
Wait and see. Although the army is pressing down on the western border, with my father-in-law here, the Wu army cannot get any advantage."
He turned his eyes to Gu Zhen and said solemnly: "Madam, don't worry, I have been planning the war in the Western Region during this time, my father-in-law will not have any worries."
Gu Zhen said softly: "Thank you so much, Mr. Mang."
Pei Yue shook his head and said: "Why do you and I need to say thank you? In terms of ability to lead troops in battles, I am not as good as my father-in-law. As long as there are no hidden dangers from within, Xie Lin is definitely not his father-in-law's opponent."
Ye Qi frowned slightly and said: "Internal hidden dangers?"
Pei Yue said softly: "The Empress Dowager Wu still can't let go of some things, but she also understands that for today's Daliang, the life and death of her father-in-law is related to the safety of the entire Western Territory and even the country. She is a smart person and will not commit suicide.
A basic stupid thing. Of course, a woman like her who has lived in a deep palace for decades and has a high status will inevitably make some extreme decisions sometimes."
He paused for a moment, with a bit of murderous intent in his tone: "In short, the army is fighting to the death on the front line, and whoever dares to reach out behind will cut off his hands."
…
The northern border of Daliang is at the junction of Huazhou and Wasteland.
Spring is warm in the world and flowers are blooming. Although this place is still gray and white, there are countless buds growing tenaciously from the cracks in the rocks, and the little greenery brings green vitality.
A majestic cavalry raced across the vast land, with one man and two horses in neat military appearance, accompanied by the constant rise and fall of the horses' hooves, and a murderous aura rising into the sky.
They headed south from the Kuta Mountains in the interior of the wasteland. After resting and replenishing supplies at the border of Yunzhou, they chose the shortest route to the west.
With their excellent war horses and rich battle experience, the Xiwu Cavalry has always had an absolute advantage in the face of the Liang Kingdom's Western Army, so much so that the Western Army can only stick to the border military towns. It is already very difficult to train cavalry that can compete with the Xiwu Sentinels.
It's not easy. This situation began to change two years ago, and the root cause lies in this sudden emergence of the cavalry.
The Tibetan Front Guards annihilated Xie Lin's armored Ruijin Battalion head-on on the northern battlefield. Although there were 8,000 infantry with the cooperation, the result still shocked the men in the Western Wu Dutong Yuan. Later, on the southern battlefield,
, the Tibetan front guards even crisscrossed the Gaoyang Plain, and when the Guping camp was in dire straits, they rushed forward to attack Zhang Qingbai's 100,000-strong army.
In this way, Zangfengwei gradually built its own illustrious reputation.
For most of the old soldiers from Lingzhou in the Wei, they knew the important mission of their trip, which was to insert themselves into the battlefield as a surprise force and cooperate with the main force of the Western Army to deliver a fatal blow to the Wu Army.
After sunset, the army finally stopped advancing and lit a fire on the leeward side of a mountain to cook.
"Lao Meng, how far is it from Longgong Camp?" Chen Xianda asked in a rough voice.
Meng Longfu glanced at the dim sky and said calmly: "About six to seven hundred miles."
Chen Xianda frowned and said, "Is it still so far away? Then it doesn't take at least five days?"
Meng Longfu said: "The Duke of the State has said that there is no rush and we must cooperate with Lord Gu. If we appear on the edge of the battlefield too early, Xie Lin will definitely lead his troops to retreat."
Chen Xianda took the water from the soldiers, raised his head and drank it for a moment, and sighed: "Don't you still know what is going on in the Longgong Camp? More than half of the main force was transferred to Kyoto to fill the Western Camp, which means that there are nearly 100 people in the camp.
Half of them are new recruits. We don’t know exactly what Duke Guo and Lord Gu are planning, but I always feel that relying on the current longbow camp may not be able to stop the elite cavalry under Xie Lin’s grandson.”
Wei Rui, who had been silent all this time, looked up at him.
Chen Xianda felt guilty at his slightly surprised look and said hesitantly: "What's wrong?"
Wei Rui smiled and said, "The Duke would be very pleased to know that you, a wild bull, have begun to think about the details of the war."
"Hey..."
Chen Xianda smiled awkwardly, sat on the floor next to Wei Rui, looked at the lonely sky, and said leisurely: "I just hope that after this battle is over, I can go back to Kyoto to marry a few wives and give birth to more children for the old Chen family.
So that I won’t have to nag you all day long.”
Wei Rui was silent after hearing this, then raised his hand and patted his shoulder.
Chen Xianda suddenly asked: "Brother Wei, when do you plan to marry the Duke's adopted sister?"
A touch of warmth appeared in Wei Rui's eyes, and he replied: "The two families have already agreed on the marriage, and I will probably arrange it after I return to Beijing."
Chen Xianda was silent for a moment, lowered his head and said with a rare sigh: "It would be great if that boy Shang Yu is still alive."
Meng Longfu sat on the other side of Wei Rui and said seriously to Chen Xianda: "This battle will definitely be tragic. You should take it easy when you charge into the battle."
Chen Xianda said "Hey" and said: "Don't worry, even if all the turtles and grandsons of the Western Wu Dynasty die, Lao Chen will still live well. This is what the Duke of the Kingdom said himself!"
The sky is like a canopy, and the night is like water.
The new wind blows from the wasteland, bringing with it an endless chill.
