Invincible son

Chapter 598 597 [Power]

Beijing Army North Camp, officially known as Huwei Camp, is located in the northwest of Kyoto.

From the map, Jingdu, Beidaying, and Shouyangshan Mine can just form a triangle, and the distance between each other is about [-] miles.After the founding of the country, Gao Zu immediately started to build four camps in the east, west, north, south, and south to defend the capital.

In its heyday, the Beijing Camp had four battalions with 26 guards and a registered force of 35.With the passage of time, the problems of the lack of pay and the degradation of combat power in the Beijing camp gradually became serious. Therefore, after Zhongzong succeeded to the throne, Yu Jianping began to purge the army with the help of the Chu government's treason case. The first to bear the brunt was Beijing camp.At that time, one battalion and seven guards were abolished, and after several times of streamlining, after Emperor Kaiping succeeded to the throne, there were only three battalions and ten guards with a total of 14 people.

Starting from the second year of his accession to the throne, Emperor Kaiping continued to deepen the strategy of rotating the Beijing camp and the frontier army, which greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the Beijing camp.

Everyone in the world thinks that the strength of the third battalion of the Beijing army is far superior to that of the frontier army, but everyone with a discerning eye knows that this is just a good hope, especially the strength of the northern battalion of the Beijing army is the weakest, because it involves the struggle and entanglement of several big figures in the army. There has been a lack of a strong coach.

Take the Yanping Huihun in the late summer of the third year of Kaiping as an example. The record of the North Camp was ranked last, and no army could even enter the top three. This is a fact that everyone can see.In terms of military strength alone, the North Camp and the West Camp both have three guards and 4 people, but whether it is military drills or actual combat, the West Camp led by Changxing Hou Qujiang is in a crushing situation against the North Camp.

Lu Min led the Northern Camp to the west, lost soldiers and generals in the battle of Lulongzhai, and suffered heavy casualties in the battle of Guping's defense of the city. In the end, only [-] soldiers were left intact.

Since Emperor Kaiping wanted to reuse Pei Yue, of course he would not make him a mess.

Among the 1 troops brought back by Tang Youzhi, apart from the more than 7 people from Zangfengwei and Beiying itself, the other 3 people were old soldiers who had been streamlined from the major camps of the Western Army.Among them, [-] elite troops were recruited into the Forbidden Army. Luo Huanzhang led a guard of confidants into the Southern Camp, [-] people were transferred to the Southern Army, and the remaining [-] people formed the Two Guards Infantry and directly supplemented into the Northern Camp.

In this way, the northern camp, like the southern camp, has four guards and 5 people, including one guard cavalry and three guard infantry.

In the Beiying Festival Hall, two old and one young were chatting.

Tan Fu, Marquis of Xiuwu, was over sixty years old, and had been living at home until now, and his family gradually became cold.Who would have thought that an imperial decree from Emperor Ping would fall on his head, so the streets in front of the mansion would soon be full of traffic, and even family friends who hadn't been to the door for a long time came to visit in person with generous gifts.

With the news of the great victory in the Western Territory and the streamlining of the Western Army, it is no longer a secret that Emperor Kaiping will rebuild the Northern Camp, which means that there will be a large number of vacancies in the military.There are so many idle nobles in the capital, who would like to spend all day in the house listening to operas?The nobles who really have connections certainly look down on Dingtian as a military commander, but those middle- and lower-level nobles are jealous.

It's just that what they didn't expect was that the old man Tan accepted the gift very happily and spoke very politely, but he didn't mention anything serious.

When Emperor Kaiping appointed Pei Yue as the deputy commander of the Beiying at the court meeting, everyone suddenly realized that this old guy was just a cover for not doing anything, and he had worshiped the wrong mountain.

Although the actual situation was like this, at the moment in the festival hall, Pei Yue's attitude towards Tan Fu was very respectful, without the slightest hint of domineering and arrogance.

The middle-aged man sitting next to him had a determined face. He was the new head of the South Camp, Luo Huanzhang, the Dingjun Marquis.

He glanced at Pei Yue who was calm and calm, then turned to Tan Fu and said, "Marquis Tan, I'm ashamed to say that I really can't do anything with that kid of mine."

Tan Fu asked in surprise, "What does Hou Ye mean by this?"

Luo Huanzhang smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty handed over the Southern Camp to me, but I didn't have many capable people with me. I originally wanted that kid to follow me into the Southern Camp, and His Majesty also allowed it, but he didn't want to. If he wants to come to Beiying to do something, it won't help if I beat him up with a whip."

Tan Fu laughed and said, "My son...how did this start?"

Luo Huanzhang sighed: "I know what he's thinking, but I think his ability to march and fight is not strong enough."

Speaking of this, Pei Yue couldn't keep silent, shook his head and said: "Master Hou, this is a wrongful defeat of the enemy."

Luo Huanzhang said bluntly: "I'm not wronged, you fought really beautifully in the battle on the northern front of the Western Territory. The kid who defeated the enemy went through the whole process, and admired you very much. I can actually understand his thoughts. After all, Xie Lin was in the Western Territory. Wu Si is quite famous among the four generals, but in the end, you made him feel ashamed because of your deception, if we really think about it, we old fellows may not be better than you in war."

Tan Fu finally understood, he glanced at Pei Yue meaningfully, and then smiled at Luo Huanzhang: "Master Hou is planning to let your son come to Beiying?"

Luo Huanzhang nodded and said, "I shouldn't have come to Beiying, after all, it's against the rules, but if you don't explain this clearly in front of you two commanders, I'm afraid it will cause misunderstanding."

Tan Fu asked again: "If your Majesty asks..."

Luo Huanzhang said straightforwardly: "It's okay, Your Majesty has already agreed to this matter."

Tan Fu looked at Pei Yue and said, "What does Marquis Pei mean?"

Pei Yue replied: "It's all up to the commander-in-chief to decide."

Tan Fu smiled, and said to Luo Huanzhang: "I have no objection, I'm just afraid I've wronged your son."

Luo Huanzhang had a complicated expression on his face. After all, he was the commander of the Southern Camp, but his own son was going to join the army in the Northern Camp. It would be a bit embarrassing to say that.However, seeing that both Tan Fu and Pei Yue agreed, he sighed softly and said, "Then I would like to thank you both. Although Ke Di is my son, please don't worry about it. If he commits a crime in the army If you are wrong, you must be punished according to military regulations.”

Although these words were addressed to the two of them, his gaze was always on Pei Yue.

After a while of courtesies, Luo Huanzhang got up to say goodbye, and Jietang became quiet.

Tan Fu seemed to be a little out of energy, and said slowly: "Peihou, there is no one else around right now, the old man has something in his heart that he wants to say to you."

Pei Yue smiled and said: "Master Hou, I am just a junior in front of you, please call me by my name directly."

Tan Fu waved his hand and said, "It's not important. You and I know what His Majesty is thinking, so the Northern Camp is ultimately dominated by you."

Pei Yue looked at the old man's face, and didn't give a hasty answer.

No one doesn't like being in power. Even though Emperor Kaiping really wanted Pei Yue to be in charge of Beiying, he only asked Tan Fu to make a transition because he was too young, but is this person really willing?

After a short thought, Pei Yue said carefully: "Master Hou, it is clearly written in His Majesty's imperial decree that the younger generation is an assistant in the North Camp, not the main army."

Tan Fu smiled meaningfully, and asked, "If that's the case, of the four commanders of the Northern Camp, doesn't it mean that Marquis Pei only needs one spot as a Zangfengwei?"

Pei Yue asked calmly, "How many does Hou Ye want?"

Time seemed to freeze suddenly.
