"Boss, those grandsons are watching too closely. I'm afraid they won't be able to get out."

Liu Ben hid behind a bush about half a man tall, cursing.

Pei Cheng carefully observed the Xiwu Rangers in the distance and said calmly: "Withdraw."

The group of people hunched over and tiptoed out of the dense forest, and then returned to Dingjun Mountain along a small trail. Hucheng is built on the mountain, with Dingjun Mountain standing on a thousand-meter-high wall to the north. The other three sides have a wide view and flat terrain, so there is no need to worry.

there will be

The army raided. In a general-scale war, Hucheng can play a very huge role. However, this time the whole country of Western Wu invaded eastward, and 40,000 elite cavalry with Anyang Dragon Cavalry as the core appeared on the south side of Hucheng.

The defenders in the city were unable to move.

The purpose of this move by the Western Wu army is obvious. They will not attack Hucheng for the time being, but they will trap the two strongest cavalry guards in Daliang and the remaining infantry in this city.

There are several trails to the north of Hucheng that can cross Dingjun Mountain, and Pei Cheng and others are taking one of them.

These narrow paths cannot be used by large armies, and it is quite laborious for horses to pass through them. However, as long as there is enough time and the exit is safe, 10,000 elite troops can still be sent to support the northern battlefield. However, Hucheng was built by Xiwu at that time, and he knew the terrain here well. Xie Lin

Before sending troops, they had thought carefully and deliberately set aside 10,000 troops to station in the north of Dingjun Mountain, not giving the Hucheng garrison a chance to come out.

Pei Cheng had been exploring here for several days, but he never found a moment when the other party relaxed. He knew that this was difficult, so he had to lead his subordinates to retreat to Hucheng. He asked Yin Dao and the others to lead the soldiers back to the Jingyu camp, and Pei Cheng went straight to the festival.

Handsome Mansion.

Since the outbreak of the war, Hucheng has entered an atmosphere of preparedness. Naturally, the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion is no longer as leisurely as before. Busyness and complexity have become the daily theme. Pei Cheng came to the back hall, and after being informed by the soldiers, he entered and saluted: "See

Handsome."

Xiao Jin, the Marquis of Xiangcheng, was reviewing a piece of intelligence before the case. Hearing this, he waved his hands and said, "No need."

Pei Cheng took two steps forward and said: "Jie Shuai, there is no way to the north. If we force the pass, we will probably suffer heavy losses."

Xiao Jin said calmly: "As expected, it seems that the people in the Dutongyuan in Xiwu have finally changed their minds. More than ten years ago, they only wanted to capture Hucheng to ensure the overall advantage over Daliang. Now

They understood that storming Hucheng was an impossible task.

With the goal of containing Hucheng, the main force was placed on the north and south lines. As long as the Longgong Camp and the Guping Camp could be defeated, Hucheng would naturally become a turtle in the urn. In this case, the Emperor of Western Wu and the Anyang Dragon Cavalry

If you are willing to take it out, how can you leave an empty door for us?"

Pei Cheng remained silent. Just half a month ago, he and his brothers from Jingyu camp went out to fight with the scouts of Xiwu. They thought they would have a good fight. Unexpectedly, the situation suddenly changed, and Xiwu's third

An army arrives

Near Hucheng, the north and south fronts launched offensives at the same time. Xiao Jin was originally hesitating whether to join forces with Cheng'an Hou Lu Min to attack Zhang Qingbai, so he naturally called all his subordinates back to the city to wait for further changes in the situation.

Xiao Jin glanced at Pei Cheng and asked unhurriedly: "Are you disappointed?"

Valley

Pei Cheng came to his senses and quickly shook his head and said: "The general will not dare."

Xiao Jin did not blame him and said warmly: "When I was your age, I was more radical than you. I wished I could fight every day so that I could win military glory and bring honor to the family. You and I are different. The burdens on our shoulders are

It's even heavier, I'm afraid it will be difficult to sleep every night

.Pei Cheng, there is something I think you should have the right to know. Your brother-in-law led the Tibetan Front Guards to the northern front to support the Longgong Camp. He defeated three Wu armies in succession in the past few days and captured over 10,000 yuan. If he could

If you survive this battle, your title will probably be higher than yours."

Pei Cheng recalled that when he was still in Kyoto, he was the heir to the title of Dingguo Mansion, and Pei Yue was just a precarious concubine. The difference in status was as big as clouds and mud. Just three years later, he was still just a guerrilla in Jingyu Camp.

, leading five hundred elite men, Pei Yue was already the commander of the Tibetan Front Guards, in charge of the fate of tens of thousands of cavalry, and became a hot upstart in the army. Such a change can be described as a great change.

Logically speaking, Pei Cheng should be jealous of this concubine. Coupled with the grievances between Pei Yue and Pei Rong, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are enemies. However, after Xiao Jin observed carefully, he still could not find any trace of hatred in this young man's face.

With negative emotions, I just heard him say calmly: "Jie Shuai, everyone has his own fate, I can't envy this kind of thing."

"Oh?" Xiao Jin responded curiously.

Pei Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly, with bright eyes, and said firmly: "Pei Yue's current achievements are indeed amazing opportunities, but it is his ability to seize these opportunities, so I don't understand why it is necessary

Jealousy. I don’t think I’m any worse than him. I’ve learned a lot from Jieshuai in the past two years, and there will always be opportunities for me to make contributions in the future.”

Xiao Jin smiled softly, nodded with satisfaction and said, "I know you are not that kind of fool."

He paused and continued: "We have no way to intervene in the battle on the northern front. We can only rely on Marquis Jining to make his own decision. The worst result is to lose eleven military villages, but I believe he can hold the Longgong Camp.

The most important thing at the moment is the situation in the south. Marquis Cheng'an leads the army to approach Lulong Village, and a battle with Zhang Qingbai is inevitable."

Pei Cheng vaguely heard the implication of his words, and his heart beat violently involuntarily.

Xiao Jin said slowly: "Before the battle on the southern front comes, I will Chen Bing to confront the Xiwu cavalry outside the city, and at the same time send eight thousand elite cavalry out of the south gate to assist Lulong Village. The Wu army scouts will definitely not turn a blind eye, so this trip is extremely important.

Dangerous. Pei Cheng, do you have the courage to be the vanguard general of this cavalry?"

Pei Cheng felt his blood well up all over his body. Without thinking, he knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists, saying, "The general will definitely live up to his mission!"

Xiao Jin looked at him steadily and said softly: "You don't have to rush to agree. Let me tell you the truth, these eight thousand people have a narrow escape from death. Even if they can successfully reach Lulong Village, they will definitely be sent by Lu Min to fight against Zhang Qingbai's most elite

cavalry.your grandfather

The hard work of the people in Daliang, especially in the Western Territory, is a great achievement, and your father is in such a situation. If you die in Lulong Village, it will be difficult for the Dingguo Mansion to regain its glory in the future. Stay in the city and defend the city with me, the same is true.

It’s a credit, you have to think about it carefully.”

Pei Cheng only hesitated for a moment, and then said categorically: "Commander Jie, since I have chosen to join the army, I have more than just fame and fortune in my eyes. When this country is in danger, others can die generously, why can't I? Just now

Jieshuai mentioned Pei Yue, he has experienced countless crises since he came to Lingzhou, since he can regard death as home, at least I will not lose to him in terms of courage!"
