Nanshan Village.

This place is more than fifty miles away from the Guping camp. It is the most important barrier in the western border of Daliang and the earliest one of the nine military strongholds built. Before Hucheng fell into the hands of Daliang, Nanshan stronghold had been attacked more than twenty times.

The attacks and harassments of the Western Wu people. Around this military stronghold, the two sides continued to stage repeated battles, and a large number of martial arts nobles were born.

After the second year of Renxuan, Nanshan Village ushered in a period of peace for more than ten years. The village body was continuously repaired and strengthened, and the area was expanded accordingly. Today, among the nine military villages, Jiming Village has the most dangerous terrain and is also the most strategically located.

Important, but in terms of solid defense, Nanshan Village is stronger.

Wuwei Hou Ningzhong led an army of 50,000 people out to the west. After arriving at Nanshan stronghold, they stopped and led two guards into the stronghold. The remaining two guards were sent to the partial camps a few miles away to the west and southwest respectively, forming a mutual rival.

Pei Yue led a thousand cavalry to the outside of Nanshan stronghold and led four sentry officers into the stronghold.

Ning Zhong was teasing Xin Na's concubine in the backyard. The girl was seventeen years old and had a good appearance. She cost him three thousand taels of silver.

Hearing the news passed by the soldiers, Ning Zhong's face turned angry. If it weren't for the fact that the boy had the title of imperial envoy on his head, he would have been too lazy to pay attention. Even so, when they came to the front hall to meet each other, he still

With a gloomy look on his face, he said in a neutral tone: "Chief Pei, what's going on this time?"

Pei Yue stood in the hall, looked directly at the opponent calmly, and said expressionlessly: "Please Marshal Ning immediately send troops to protect Jiming Village."

Ning Zhong tilted his head and blinked, showing a puzzled expression.

Pei Yue ignored his pretense and said in a deep voice: "The drunkards of the Western Wu people are not interested in drinking. They obviously want to use an ambush to intimidate the Hucheng defenders, and then take the opportunity to seize all the military strongholds. By that time Hucheng

The connection with the border will be cut off, and they can decide their next move calmly."

Fu Hongzhi behind him suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Pei Yue.

Ning Zhong laughed loudly and said: "Pei Yue, are you worthy of talking to me about military affairs?"

Pei Yue frowned and said, "You have been comfortable in Nanshan Village these days. Have you ever gone to see the battlefield situation in person?"

Ning Zhong pointed to his forehead, and his tone gradually became colder: "I have been on the border for twenty years, and I know the specific conditions of every place without looking. This time the Western Wu army invades the border, how do you meet the enemy?

Fighting is my business, what does it have to do with you? Is it your turn to be a scumbag? I advise you to go back to Lingzhou as soon as possible, continue to tinker with your coal, and get less involved in military affairs, otherwise don’t blame me for being rude!"

Wei Rui said: "Commander Ning, during this period, I have been observing with Sir Alex on the Gaoyang Plain, and I have also had a head-on confrontation with Wu Jun. Everything I said is supported by evidence. Why are you turning a deaf ear?"

Ning Zhong suddenly said sternly: "Shut up! Who are you to dare to talk to me like this?"

He turned to look at Pei Yue and said with a cold look: "If you hadn't taken on the status of an imperial envoy, I would have had you kicked out! I'm warning you one last time, military affairs have nothing to do with you, don't do whatever you want with your status as an imperial envoy.

Intervene. What, bah!”

Pei Yue raised his hand to stop the impulse of the four generals behind him. His eyes were full of disappointment and anger. He suppressed his emotions and said seriously: "On July 12, the Zangfeng Guards rescued more than 600 defeated soldiers in the north of Daokou Village.

The injured have been sent to the Guping camp, and you should know about this. In this battle, we destroyed a thousand-man light cavalry force in Xiwu, and the heads were temporarily stored in Xishui Village."

Ning Zhong was slightly startled. As the commander of the first battalion, he knew the weight of this military achievement.

Pei Yue continued: "After closing the sword and defeating the troops in Wufeng and Tribulus Village, I led the troops to Jiming Village, used cavalry to surprise the enemy, and killed Guo Rong, the commander of ten thousand soldiers in the Western Wu Dynasty, and defeated an infantry team of ten thousand people and three soldiers.

A team of a thousand men of light cavalry captured countless enemies. The defenders of Jiming Village saw this with their own eyes, and their heads were stored in Jiming Village."

Ning Zhong had some guesses about the first news, because the wounded soldiers who were sent back had said it, but he didn't quite believe it. He thought it was Pei Yue bragging because the border generals were well aware of the combat power of the Xiwu cavalry.

This latter achievement made him a little distracted for a while.

Killing a captain of ten thousand men is no ordinary feat. Coupled with the critical situation of saving Jiming Village, this is enough to make Pei Yue a marquis!

Ning Zhong's eyes were cloudy and uncertain. It was obvious that Pei Yue at this moment could no longer be judged simply by his status as an imperial envoy.

"What exactly do you want to say?" Ning Zhong asked coldly.

Pei Yue remained unsmiling, but his expression gradually calmed down, and he said in a deep voice: "Immediately send troops to reinforce Jiming Village, and at the same time the army moves closer, so that the Xiwu people cannot devote themselves to besieging Jiming Village, and the war will be stalemate on the Gaoyang Plain.

In return, I can add your name to two battle medals."

Wei Rui's face was expressionless, but he sighed softly in his heart.

He could understand Pei Yue's difficulties because the opponent was the commander of a battalion with heavy troops. Even if his abilities were lacking, as long as the emperor didn't take him down for a day, Pei Yue would have no good solution.

But he was still a little sad, because he had seen everything Pei Yue did during this period. Why did a young viscount with a bright future need to be so desperate?

Even though there was his best friend brother in Jiming Village, Pei Yue didn't know this when he was in Linqing County.

Wei Rui could still remain calm, but the anger on the faces of everyone else was obvious, especially the most irritable Chen Xianda, who was almost gritting his teeth and clenching his fists to hold back his murderous intent. Meng Longfu, who was usually the calmest, also had cold eyes at this moment.

, if it weren’t for Pei Yue’s pressure, I’m afraid there would have been a commotion long ago.

They are just not worth it for Pei Yue.

He led them to fight the battle, and they were the ones fighting desperately outside Jiming Village. In the end, they had to share the credit with this loser. More importantly, the reason was that he was asked to send troops to reinforce his defense area.

What a fucking and ridiculous thing!

Pei Yue knew the reason for their anger very well, but he still restrained himself.

Compared with the momentary honor and disgrace, he cares more about preserving the situation in front of him.

This is the way of survival that he has learned most profoundly in his two lifetimes.

Ning Zhong was hesitant. The temptation of this military exploit was very great, but he was really unwilling to raise troops to approach Jiming Village. This was not because he was timid and fearful, but because from the beginning he had planned to use the military stronghold defenders to kill Xiwu's troops.

plan.

After a while, he put on a smiling face and said: "You are indeed a young man praised by your Majesty. Lao Ning has to admire you. Let's do this. I will send another thousand infantry and a thousand archers to Jiming Village.

Judging from the terrain there, this is enough to help Qin Xian defend the village, what do you think?"

Pei Yue said slowly: "Yes."

Ning Zhong said again: "I am the coach of Guping Camp. It is natural that I should write this merit report, and the first credit should be recorded on Guping Camp. You won't object, right?"

The situation in the hall suddenly became cold and solemn.

The expressions on the faces of the four generals behind Pei Yue looked a little scary.

Pei Yue didn't even think about it. He shook his head and said, "No."

Ning Zhong narrowed his eyes and looked at Pei Yue, who was much younger than him but not weak in terms of momentum, and sneered: "What did you say?"

Pei Yue let out a breath of turbid air, then showed a shallow smile, but there was no hint of gentleness in his voice.
