Invincible son

Chapter 1008 1009 [Player in the game]

Huazhou, Guide City.

Guo Linxi, deputy commander of the Xuanhua Daying Camp, was so busy during this period that he readjusted the distribution of troops in various places according to Pei Yue's arrangement, and abolished most of the military stations on the border line of more than [-] miles, forming a focus on passes and cities. defense system.In this way, it can be avoided that when Pei Yue leads the army, the barbarians seize the opportunity to cross the border and attack the big city.

At the same time, he had to be in charge of liaising with Huazhou Governor's Mansion to prepare all kinds of supplies that Pei Yue needed and send them to Qinglong Mansion and Jiuliguan in batches.Now Pei Yue not only holds the power to temporarily control the three northern states, but also relies on the emperor's will and the notes from the two governments. No matter Guo Linxi or the governors of the states, they dare not follow his orders at all.

When the sun was setting, Guo Linxi dragged his exhausted body back to the Earl's Mansion after watching the last batch of supplies leave Fucheng and send them to Qinglong Mansion.

Xie Huaijing, a Qing guest in the mansion, had been waiting outside the gate early on, with a slightly anxious look on his face.

Guo Linxi asked lightly, "Where is the man?"

Xie Huaijing replied in a low voice: "I placed it in the study under the door, and it has not attracted the attention of others."

Guo Linxi responded, and then went straight to the study.

When a capable man in his twenties saw Guo Linxi, he immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted, "I see you, uncle."

"You don't need to be too polite." Guo Linxi went to sit behind the desk, stared at the man and asked, "How is the situation in the north?"

The young man replied: "My uncle, the Marquis of Zhongshan led the Tibetan front guards to leave Jiuliguan in the early morning of the day before yesterday. Because the uncle told us not to approach the cavalry, so our people could only watch from afar. After the Marquis of Zhongshan led the army out of the pass, , Taian Guard Commander Tang Linfen and the two Deputy Commanders returned to Hunyuan County in Qinglong Mansion."

Guo Linxi looked calm, and asked thoughtfully: "The Marquis of Zhongshan led the Zangfeng Guard into the wasteland, and then more than [-] Tai'an Guards are still stationed in Hunyuan County?"

The young man nodded and said: "It was true before the news was sent back. On April 25th, the day before Zhongshan Hou led the army to set off, he held a military meeting in Jiuliguan. In addition, there is a small soldier from the frontier army who escaped from the wasteland. Our people are worried about revealing their whereabouts, so we can't find out the details of that small soldier for the time being."

"No need to probe." Guo Linxi waved his hands and said calmly: "You have done a good job. Next, you will focus on Hunyuan County. No matter what Tai'an guard does, please tell me as soon as possible."

"Follow the order."

"The deputy commander of Tai'an Guard named Fu Hongzhi is very good at training scouts. This person has made great contributions to Pei Yue. You must be extra careful, and don't be seen by the other party."

"Yes, uncle."

"Go down."

Guo Linxi raised his hand and gently pinched the center of his brows, his tired face could not be concealed.

Xie Huaijing first went outside and gave a few words to the soldiers guarding the corridor, then returned to the study and closed the door, and said with concern: "Uncle, do you want to rest for a while?"

Guo Linxi was noncommittal, turned his head to look at the border map hanging on the wall, and said in an obscure tone: "To tell you the truth, ever since I took that step, I have always been uneasy, and I often have a sense of gain and loss. Now the deal is done, what should be done? What has been done has already been done, and it stands to reason that there should be no hesitation, but I always feel that the next situation is unpredictable."

Xie Huaijing sighed inwardly. When Guo Linxi made that decision, he tried his best to dissuade him, but unfortunately he couldn't dispel the obsession in Xuan Debo's heart in the end.

Up to now, as a Qing guest, of course he can't and dare not take pleasure in other's misfortune, so he can only think about it: "Uncle, do you want to tell the one in the capital, lest Ge Shuyi forcibly bite Uncle."

Guo Linxi pondered and said: "Brother Shuyi must have suspected that I betrayed him and told the barbarians the route of the army, otherwise he would not insist on seeing Pei Yue when he was seriously injured. You don't have to worry, the one in the capital will naturally know How should we proceed, and besides, as Ge Shuyi's defeated general, without any real evidence, how could His Majesty and the court officials believe his one-sided words?"

Xie Huaijing nodded and said: "Uncle's eyes are like a torch, and he can see through the essence of the problem at a glance. There is still one thing that I don't understand. Since Ge Shuyi told Zhongshanhou what he doubted in his heart, why didn't he ask Uncle for clarification?"

Guo Linxi recalled the meeting with Pei Yue outside the city that day, and couldn't help saying coldly: "Because he didn't think it was necessary. Before Ge Shuyi arrived, Pei Yue asked me to sit here to take care of the logistical chores. Not only does he not trust me, but he also doesn't trust all the soldiers in the Xuanhua camp, he only trusts the two guards and horses brought from Kyoto."

Xie Huaijing hesitated for a moment, and finally said bluntly: "Uncle, although Wei Guogong has made various promises, but Pei Yuejian is in the emperor's heart, and he is inseparable from the first prince. If he dies in the wasteland, it will inevitably cause a storm. The door thought, whether it can be temporarily Take a step back, at least let him save his life—”

Guo Linxi shook his head and said decisively: "Pei Yue must die."

Xie Huaijing suffocated slightly, he had always been curious about what kind of magical power Wang Pingzhang possessed that could make the proud Xuan Debo beside him so determined.

Seeing this, Guo Linxi couldn't help laughing and said: "Duke Wei has indeed helped me a lot. Without his secret help, it would have been very difficult for me to cross that threshold and be promoted from commander to deputy commander. But I have paid back a lot these years. The silver that was sent to Duke Wei’s mansion in the middle of the capital was more than 100 million taels, so I don’t have to be like some people wholeheartedly being his dog’s minion.”

Xie Huaijing became more and more puzzled and said: "Since this is the case, why don't uncle hold back for a while and let the Marquis of Zhongshan win a few times in the wasteland. We told the barbarians about Ge Shuyi's marching route earlier, this matter has little effect, and Ge Shuyi There is no evidence, and the imperial court will not go to war because of it. But if Pei Yue died in the wasteland, the disciples feel that the imperial court will definitely investigate to the end."

Guo Linxi said quietly: "If Pei Yue doesn't die, the barbarians will be wiped out. At that time, what is the need for the Xuanhua camp to exist? Even the camp will be abolished, so how can I deal with myself? Wouldn't all these years of planning be a waste of money? "

Xie Huaijing was troubled. He knew that with Guo Linxi's qualifications, he could only occupy one-third of an acre of land in the Xuanhua camp, and he basically had no way to compete with other powerful nobles in the army.

Guo Linxi's eyes gradually became sharper, and he said in a deep voice: "In fact, the best ending is that Pei Yue wins and the barbarian's vitality is damaged. He returns to the capital with troops, and the northern border still needs a large army to guard. If he can do this, I won't It is necessary to take this move, but you and I both know that Pei Yue has never left no room for his actions, and his only purpose in this trip is to completely eradicate the barbarians."

Xie Huaijing agrees with his judgment, but the problem is that taking risks like this is like being on the edge of a cliff, and if you are not careful, you will be crushed and your family will suffer.

After pondering for a while, he said worriedly: "Uncle, my subordinates still feel that this move is too dangerous. After all, the marquis of Zhongshan is well known for leading the army. If he can escape from the wasteland, he will definitely attack you afterwards. "

Guo Linxi sneered twice, and said slowly: "Have you not seen that Pei Yue is no longer the concubine of Dingguo who was in a difficult situation and precarious. This person has become extremely confident and even supercilious since he was young. He believed that the wilderness was no different from the inland, and that the barbarians were like bandits, so he arbitrarily excluded the frontier army, and dared to go deep into the wilderness with only ten thousand cavalry."

He paused, and said with a gloomy expression: "I know that Zang Fengwei is a master of a hundred battles. He has never been defeated in these years. Even the Pingjiang camp in the Southern Zhou Dynasty was defeated by them. But you should have heard a saying, arrogant Soldiers must be defeated!"

Xie Huaijing suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help exclaiming: "It turns out that uncle was planning today's situation as early as two years ago!"

Guo Linxi sighed, his eyes were particularly complicated, and he said softly: "Actually, this game is not set up for Pei Yue."
