Lu Jiang stumbled to Lu Min and knelt down beside his father's body with a bang. Looking at his still wide eyes after death, he shouted heartbreakingly: "Father! Wake up!"

There was crying in his voice, and tears were streaming down his face.

In the end, it was Wang Jiuxuan who stepped forward and pulled him up. After all, the two of them had traveled together from the Western Region back to Kyoto, and he was the only person present who was suitable to do this.

After Lu Jiang stood up, there was no one else in his eyes, and he stared at Pei Yue with hatred.

Silent Cloud didn't seem to notice this scene. He said to Wang Jiuxuan: "I will give you five hundred troops to escort Cheng Anhou's body and his eldest son back to Kyoto. You must bring the body back intact and hand it over to the palace guards. Verify.”

Wang Jiu

Silent Cloud said calmly: "The carriages, horses and ice have been prepared in Xingyang City. Someone will naturally contact you when you arrive."

Wang Jiuxuan's heart was shocked. If that's the case, wouldn't Silent Cloud have already expected that Lu Min would commit suicide? Fortunately, he had a calm temperament and showed no emotion or anger, so he didn't ask any more questions at the moment. After answering, he had someone lift Lu Min up. His body was taken away, and Lu Jiang, who had been staring at Pei Yue, was taken away.

Silent Cloud turned around and said to all the martial artists: "Everyone, please bring your subordinates into the city. The place here is quite spacious and can accommodate everyone. After finishing this matter, I will discuss matters with you in the Festival Hall."

Yin Wei, Luo Huanzhang and Tang Youzhi all agreed, and Pei Yue also agreed after a little hesitation.

He originally wanted to go to Mr. Xi for a secret talk immediately, but he really had too many doubts in his heart, but Zhang Qingbai's army was still watching from the west. Silent Cloud must have brought Emperor Kaiping's latest decree. After weighing it, he could only choose to figure it out first. pattern.

A total of 60,000 soldiers and horses from the Zangfeng Guard, Longgong Army and Jinshui Army entered the Guping Camp. Counting the Guping Army and the North Camp of the Beijing Army, excluding the 3,000 Kokang Battalion that was temporarily idle by Silent Cloud, the number of troops in the military city is now close to 90,000. Not to mention whether Zhang Qingbai can be defeated, at least there is no problem in preserving this important town.

About half an hour later, the handsome manor came to the festival hall.

Silent Cloud is sitting in the main seat. The two people on the left are Qi Yunhou Yinwei and Dingjun Boluo Huanzhang, and the two people on the right are Jining Hou Tang Youzhi and Zhongshanzi Pei Yue.

The soldiers offered them fragrant tea and then left with gentle steps.

Silent Cloud got straight to the point and said: "Logically speaking, I shouldn't be sitting here today. But you also know roughly the situation in the court. Wei Guogong is old and needs to be in charge of the center. Your Majesty will not let him leave the capital. Guangping Marquis Now in the southern border, we have to deal with the imminent Zhou Dynasty, and we cannot rush to the western border at this time. There is no need to elaborate on Lu Min's problem. Since he has committed suicide, the most important thing now is how to deal with Zhang Qingbai's offensive."

Although he was the most trusted minister of Emperor Kaiping and was in charge of Taishitai Pavilion, he obviously did not have the qualifications and prestige to command the Western Army. However, the court did not send a new commander, which made all the martial artists in the hall worried. It's getting hot.

Whether it was Yin Wei, Tang Youzhi, or Luo Huanzhang, who had a rough temperament, his breathing could not help but become a little faster at this time.

Only the old god Pei Yue was there, because he knew that this matter had nothing to do with him. Even if Emperor Kaiping suddenly went crazy and wanted to promote a young man under the age of twenty as the commander-in-chief of the Western Army, the important ministers of the two governments would desperately give in. He took back his will.

Silent Cloud did not continue to show off, and took out an imperial edict from the box on the table, then looked at Tang Youzhi and said: "Your Majesty has an edict, ordering Ninghou Tang Youzhi to temporarily act as the commander-in-chief of the Western Army, and Qiyunhou Yinwei and Dingjun Boluo Huanzhang as deputy commanders." ."

The three of them quickly stood up and knelt down, and Pei Yue had no choice but to follow suit.

After all, there were only five people in the hall at the moment, and among them was Shen Moyun, the emperor's number one confidant. He couldn't be as unscrupulous as he was in the square before.

After Silent Cloud finished reading the imperial edict, he handed the bright yellow scroll to Tang Youzhi and said warmly: "Brother Youzhi, you fought beautifully in that battle on the northern front. His Majesty was very gratified and happy, so I hope you can continue." We must try our best to completely defeat Zhang Qingbai so that Xiwu will not have the ability and courage to invade the country again within ten years."

Tang Youzhi had mixed feelings in his heart. Although he was born into a family of generals, the highest ancestry was a viscount. It was he who reached the position of head coach of the Longbow Camp by relying on his ability. But he also knew that this step was already his own. The end point, and it is almost impossible to go further, is to be posthumously named a first-class prince, and to leave some incense to future generations, and be satisfied.

This was also the reason why he asked Tang Linfen to follow Pei Yue in the first place, because he saw the infinite potential in that young man.

Unexpectedly, time would turn around and now he would become the commander-in-chief of the Western Army. Even if there was still the word "temporary" in front of him, as long as he fought the next battle well, not to mention being named a first-class prince during his lifetime, he would not even be able to hold the position of Xifu military aircraft. There is no hope!

The root of all this was the extremely risky plan he agreed to Pei Yue.

Tang Youzhi turned to look at Pei Yue, who was looking at him with a smile on his face. The two looked at each other, then nodded slightly, saying nothing.

After everyone sat down again, Silent Cloud looked at Luo Huanzhang and said, "Uncle Dingjun, how many troops and horses did you bring here? How many cavalry are there?"

Luo Huanzhang was quite convinced of Tang Youzhi, so his expression remained as usual and he said straightforwardly: "There are thirty thousand elite soldiers, including ten thousand cavalry. I wonder what Master Shen's orders are?"

Silent Cloud smiled and said: "Your Majesty also has a decree to transfer all the cavalry from Longgong Camp and Jinshui Camp to the Tibetan Front Guard for the time being, under the full command of Pei Yue."

Luo Huanzhang was slightly startled, but did not hesitate. He nodded and said, "That's very good."

Tang Youzhi also smiled and said: "I was planning to submit a petition to His Majesty. After the victory on the northern front, I took it upon myself to hand over the longbow cavalry to the command of Pei Yue."

Now it was Shen Moyun's turn to be a little surprised. He had thought that this decree would cause a backlash. After all, these military leaders regarded the cavalry as a treasure, so how could they be willing to hand it over to others? Seeing that they agreed so readily, he couldn't help but feel He cast doubtful eyes on Pei Yue and asked: "After winning the Northern Front, what did you do next?"

With a calm face, Pei Yue briefly recounted his experience after leading the Zangfeng Guards across the Beitiao River and went south. He did not boast or show off his achievements, especially when he talked about the battle where he led the army to attack Zhang Qingbai's rear formation. A little more regretful.

After everyone listened, Luo Huanzhang gave him a thumbs up and said: "You are a good fighter! I dislike the most dandy boys in my life, a group of wastes who are better than women. I never expected to see such an outstanding young man. It can be seen that Daliang’s national fortune is prosperous! Pei boy, people will definitely die in the war. Even Dingguo Gong back then couldn’t make a complete plan. There are some things that you don’t have to worry about!”

Pei Yue nodded and said, "Thank you Uncle Dingjun for your advice."

Luo Huanzhang waved his hand and said: "No need to say thank you, I feel relieved that the Jinshui Cavalry is in your hands. I'll give those Xiwu bastards something cruel so that they will never have the courage to set foot in the Daliang territory again."

Pei Yue responded calmly: "I will definitely do my best."

After everyone chatted for a while, Silent Cloud coughed lightly and said: "You three, now you are the ones holding the flag of the Western Army. You need to discuss the subsequent strategy as soon as possible. I have to say goodbye in advance."
