Invincible son

Chapter 397 396 [Torrent] ([-])
In the middle of the night, ink infiltrates the world.

The Longbow barracks was as solid as a rock, with a large number of light and dark sentries in all directions, plus various horse-repelling traps set up around the camp, even Xie Lin didn't have the guts to let the cavalry attack at night.

Tang Linfen came to the handsome tent in a hurry, and he was allowed to enter only after being meticulously inspected by the guards.Candles were brightly lit in the tent. Tang Youzhi, Marquis of Jining, was wearing ordinary clothes, with his back turned to the direction of the door, staring at the map of the northern route hanging on the back wall in a trance.

Seeing this, Tang Linfen stepped lightly and said in a low voice, "Uncle, my nephew is here."

Tang Youzhi said without turning his head: "There is a secret letter on the table, please read it first."

Tang Linfen's eyes were fixed, and he picked up the sealed letter on the desk case that had been unsealed. There was only a piece of letter paper inside, and the words were extremely concise, but it took him a long time to read it.

Tang Youzhi looked at the map on the wall, and said leisurely: "The day before yesterday you excused that Pei family son in public, and his letter was delivered tonight. If I didn't know who you are, maybe I would have thought this was a joint performance by you two." Good show."

Tang Linfen thought about the content of the letter in his mind, and said with a wry smile: "Uncle, how dare my nephew be so presumptuous."

Tang Youzhi turned around, pointed to the top chair next to him to let his junior sit down, and asked slowly, "Linfen, how sure do you think the Pei family's plan is?"

Tang Linfen was sitting upright, facing the deep gaze of Marquis Ning, and said seriously: "Uncle, Lord Pei is in danger, and if he is not careful, it will end forever. Xie Lin is very sensitive, as long as he is allowed to If you catch a chance, the whole northern battle situation will collapse. At that time, not to mention the military system here, even the Longbow camp will not be able to keep it. There are nearly [-] soldiers on the northern front. How much can survive the impact?"

Tang Youzhi remained silent.

Tang Linfen sighed softly: "It is our duty to fight to the death on the battlefield, but if the Longbow camp falls, the three prefectures in the north of Lingzhou will inevitably be exposed in front of the Western Wu cavalry. The most terrifying thing is not limited to this, Xie Lin The cavalry in his hand can completely ignore the war in the south, and directly enter Dengzhou and Qizhou through the three prefectures in the north. The [-] cavalry from the West Wu who pretended to be horse bandits in Qingyu Mountain at the beginning could make Lingzhou Governor's Mansion suffer a lot. Wan Tieqi, I am afraid that the world will collapse by then."

Tang Youzhi listened patiently, with a curious expression gradually appearing on his face. He looked at Tang Linfen with a dignified complexion, and felt that he had a good eye for picking out this young man in the family back then.

The Tang family was unknown before, even if Tang Youzhi reached his current position step by step by relying on his own ability and the appreciation of a nobleman in the capital, he was often awakened in his heart, because there was no successor.

Several sons in my family are incompetent, and they indulge in Zhangtai and horses all day long. They have taught them dozens of times, but they still have no effect.

Had it not been for Tang Linfen's gradual display of his abilities, the Marquis of Jining might have become an inconspicuous record in the pile of old papers after a hundred years, just like the countless down-and-out noble mansions in Kyoto.

"Uncle?" Tang Linfen called softly.

Tang Youzhi came back to his senses, smiled and said, "Listen to what you said, you don't agree with this strategy."

Tang Linfen knew that his cultivation level was still low, and he was afraid that he would not be able to hide in front of this elder, so he said bluntly: "If Lord Pei can achieve the previous goal, this will be the only chance to win on the northern battlefield!"

"The only one?" Tang Youzhi repeated the word flatly.

Tang Linfen gradually became excited, and said solemnly: "That's right, it's the only chance. Uncle, now Hucheng and Guping camp are unable to go north, and the Beijing army brought by Cheng'anhou Lu Min has already left Nanshanzhai. At this time, all we can rely on are ourselves and Lord Pei’s Tibetan front guard. Although his strategy is very dangerous, from the overall situation, as long as we can defeat Schelling—not to eat his 13 troops, as long as If he can destroy his main force, the situation on the northern front will be completely safe. At that time, we can even send troops south to support."

Tang Youzhi didn't immediately agree or refuse, he asked calmly: "In your eyes, what kind of person is Pei Yue?"

Tang Linfen was startled, and replied: "Uncle, my nephew has never met him, but I know his past from Gu Mang, and I have carefully analyzed the things he did in Lingzhou, so my nephew thinks he is A character who is calm and crazy at the same time."

"This evaluation is just right. I haven't talked with Gu Mang, but just looking at Pei Yue's behavior in Lingzhou, I can probably guess that he is not a son of the rich and powerful who keeps his own way. This kind of person must be in a difficult situation when he was young. When he has a certain amount of power in his hands, he tends to act extremely crazy. As for whether he is courageous or unscrupulous, it is still unclear for the time being."

"What uncle said is very true. Now our military strength is not a secret in Xie Lin's eyes. Zang Fengwei is a sudden reinforcement. However, the trick he will play next, I am afraid that Xie Lin will not be able to tell the truth from the fake."

After a moment of silence, Tang Youzhi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If we lose this battle, you and I may not be able to leave Lingzhou alive, so I will write a letter and send it to the capital, asking that best friend to help take care of the family. But if you can Win, you can follow Pei Yue to do things in the future."

Tang Linfen was shocked, and said with a puzzled face: "Uncle, my nephew has never—"

Tang Youzhi waved his hand, interrupted his words, and said calmly: "You are the great steed of the Tang family, and the help I can provide is limited, but Pei Yue is different. If you really let him do this, the future will definitely be limitless. Although you are older than him, don't pay too much attention to these face problems, as long as you can honor the lintel, it will not be in vain for the importance I have attached to you all these years."

There was no one else in the handsome tent. After the two uncles and nephews looked at each other, Tang Linfen said with a heavy face but resolutely: "My nephew will obey my uncle's orders."

"Burn that letter, and don't let a third person know about it."

"Yes."

In the suddenly rising flame, Tang Youzhi's eyes were firm, without the slightest hesitation.

The next day, the Longbow Army marched westward as a whole, continuously narrowing the distance with Xishanzhai while maintaining a complete formation.

This naturally quickly attracted the attention of the Western Wu army.

After Xie Lin heard the urgent report from the scouts, what he thought of was the battle report he had received before. There was a group of large beam cavalry at Guyuan Village, and his [-] light cavalry retreated in a panic after losing troops, and the [-] infantry disappeared. It can be called the biggest defeat since the start of the Northern Front War.

Before Xie Lin dispatched troops to deal with the mysterious cavalry, Tang Youzhi, who had always used troops conservatively, suddenly dispatched troops.

The stalemate with Xishanzhai as the core was thus broken.
