Dongqing Prefecture, Shanyang County.

This place is the border of Lingzhou, and more than forty miles to the west is the Guping Camp.

A total of more than 40,000 people in the Peking Army's Beida Camp were stationed outside the county. Even though it was only a temporary camp, under the personal supervision of Qi Yunhou Yin Wei, the regulations of the camp were impeccable. As a descendant of the founding prince, Yin Wei has been

They have never been outstanding, far behind the same age as Cheng'anhou Lu Min and Guangping Hou Guliang. These two have been regarded as strong competitors for the Xifu Zuojunji in the future after Wang Pingzhang begged for his remains, and Yin Weicai has just assumed the position of head coach of the Beijing camp.

.

Unless something terrible happens, he will have to be inferior to Lu Min and Gu Liang for the rest of his life.

But Yin Wei didn't seem to care about this, at least on the surface, otherwise he wouldn't have minded his eldest son Yin Dao following Pei Cheng even though Pei Rong had completely withdrawn from the military center.

The founding princes are not monolithic. Even the first generation of Dingguo Duke Pei Yuan could not do this when he was alive. After Pei Zhen passed away, he split into two camps instantly. Yin Wei did not choose to become Anhou Lu Min or

On the contrary, Hou Guliang of Guangping became closer to Pei Rong, who was glamorous on the outside but downcast on the inside, which puzzled many people.

Perhaps Emperor Kaiping discovered some qualities in him and promoted him repeatedly over the years, allowing him to become the head coach of the Beijing camp in his forties, a military position that Pei Rong had only dreamed of obtaining.

After inspecting the vast camp, Yin Wei came to the Chinese army commander's tent.

The atmosphere inside the tent was solemn, with a topographic map of the Western Territory hanging on the north wall, and a giant sand table placed in the hall. Cheng'anhou Lu Min stood on one side of the sand table, calmly listening to his generals discussing strategies.

"...It's better to take advantage of Zhang Qingbai's opportunity to defeat Marquis Wuwei and directly send troops to Lulong Village to catch him off guard." A broad-shouldered general said angrily.

Another person retorted with disdain: "Can you use your brain? Zhang Qingbai used his troops steadily and relaxedly. Even Duke Xianding suffered a heavy loss at his hands. Do you expect him to be arrogant and complacent at this time?"

It's not that I'm hurting people behind their backs. Wuwei Hou doesn't know how to fight at all and was defeated in a daze. Zhang Qingbai won't be dazzled by this kind of victory at all, maybe he will be more cautious."

A handsome military general frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "The battle on the front line is unfavorable. This is a result that no one wants to see. You are mocking Marquis Wuwei here. Do you think you would be sure of victory against Zhang Qingbai?"

The man sneered and said: "I am indeed not sure of victory, but I will not allow other people's ambitions to destroy my prestige during my own military discussion!"

"Humph, war is not a child's play, so you'd better put away your reckless behavior."

"A reckless man is better than a coward."

Seeing that the two of them were about to argue, Lu Min seemed unaware and just looked at the sand table calmly.

Yin Wei coughed slightly and frowned: "This is a handsome tent, not a food market. You are too presumptuous!"

The generals quickly stood in awe. Although Yin Wei was only the deputy commander, he was also in charge of military discipline. During the Western Expedition, he dealt with several generals who did not abide by military regulations. He did not show mercy to anyone, and gradually frightened these arrogant officers.

Strong soldiers.

Lu Min nodded to Yin Wei, then smiled and said: "I don't call you here to discuss military affairs. I don't want you to put on a show here. If you have any ideas, you can speak them out boldly and directly, but don't go too far off topic."

The generals responded honestly: "Yes!"

Lu Min looked at Yin Wei and noticed the deep meaning in his eyes, so he waved his hand and said, "Go back, everyone. I'll give you one more night. Tomorrow I want to see everyone's strategy for the war in the Western Region."

"Follow the order!"

Everyone quickly left the commander's tent, and several scribes quietly carried the documents out. Soon there were only two commanders left in the tent.

Yin Wei looked at the positions of the Guping Camp and the Longgong Camp on the sand table and muttered: "Brother Ke Xing, Marquis Wuwei lost this battle at the wrong time."

Gu Jing

Before the Beijing Army's North Camp arrived in Lingzhou, Wuwei Hou Ningzhong finally couldn't hold himself back and led an army of 50,000 in a battle with the Xiwu army on the plain south of Lulongzhai. As a result, Zhang Qingbai defeated the formation and was embarrassed after losing more than 10,000 people.

Fleeed back to Nanshan Village and defended it.

If he can wait until the arrival of the Peking Camp, then at least Daliang will not be weaker than Xiwu in terms of military strength. After all, Zhang Qingbai only has 130,000 men at his disposal, and he still has to divide his troops to intimidate the border troops.

Yin Wei could probably guess what Ning Zhong was thinking. Judging from the Lingzhou intelligence and border military intelligence he had received before, the ambitious and talented Marquis Wuwei was obviously not happy about being stepped on by Pei Yue, a young junior, and was worried about the arrival of the Peking Camp.

Later, the command was taken back by Lu Min, so he thought of launching a war in advance to try to gain some military glory.

However, Lu Min allowed him to act according to the situation. As the coach of Guping Camp, he had full authority to march. At most, he would be punished for losing the battle.

However, Yin Wei was very aware of the relationship between Ning Zhong and Lu Min, so he did not mention it at all and was very polite in his words.

Lu Min glanced at him meaningfully, frowned and said: "Ning Zhong is a strong man but a capable man. I misjudged him before, but now it is the time to recruit people. It is a taboo for military strategists to change commanders before the battle. I have already sent someone

Go to Nanshan Village to appease Ning Zhong and order him to perform meritorious deeds. If there is another defeat like this with such reckless behavior, I will report to His Majesty and take away his title."

Yin Wei was shocked, and for a moment he couldn't distinguish the truth from the other party's words, so he had to change the subject and said: "This is very appropriate. Brother Ke Xing, the garrison of Jinshui Camp and Dingxi Camp cannot be moved lightly. These two geographical locations

The location is too important, and we need to always be on guard against the prying eyes of the Xiwu people. Now that our army is at a disadvantage, and the morale of the soldiers in Guping Camp is low, should we send reinforcements from Longgong Camp in the north?"

Lu Min shook his head slightly and said: "No, Xie Lin is very good at running around in large areas. If he hadn't been afraid of the combat power of the Longbow Camp, Ning Zhong would have been under greater pressure."

Yin Wei sighed lightly: "Now there are more than 90,000 people on the southern front, and the number of combatable soldiers is no more than 70,000. Facing Zhang Qingbai, we can only take a defensive stance, unless..."

He suddenly stopped talking.

Lu Min looked at the Hucheng logo on the sand table and said expressionlessly: "Xiao Jin is still too conservative."

There are 100,000 troops stationed in Hucheng, well-trained and well-armed, and have the largest cavalry in the entire Liang Army. However, not a single soldier has been sent out of the city since the war began. Even though Zhang Qingbai and Xie Lin each led their armies and watched eagerly outside, Xiao Jin was like this

The decision seemed too timid.

Yin Wei was still thinking about Lu Min's true intention when he heard the Marquis of Cheng'an say slowly: "The people of Xiwu stretched out two fists this time, and one of them must be defeated first to reverse the situation. In comparison, I think what Zhang Qingbai said

It’s easier to surround me, what do you think?”

Yin Wei said in a deep voice: "If we want to defeat the more than 100,000 people led by Zhang Qingbai, Hucheng must send troops."

Lu Min said approvingly: "Then I'll trouble Marquis Qi Yun to write a letter and inform Xiao Jin of our opinions. He is now in charge of the camp in Hucheng. Unless ordered by the imperial edict, he can disobey anyone's orders."

, so you should try to be as tactful as possible in your letter."

Yin Wei had a wry smile on his face. He was not a newcomer to the officialdom. How could he not even understand this rule?

He vaguely felt that he would be rejected. Although he didn't know Xiao Jin's true thoughts, judging from his decision-making, the Marquis of Xiangcheng probably would not send troops.

"Then I'll write to him now." Yin Wei bowed his hands and left in a hurry.

Lu Min watched his figure disappear and stood in the empty handsome tent for a long time.

He walked slowly to the case and sat down with a lonely expression. There was a filled wine glass on the table.

Lu Min raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp. The spicy and pungent smell surged up from his chest, and he couldn't help but cough slightly.

"Why don't you wait? Silly boy."

Lu Min seemed to see that young and cold face, which was very similar to the person from back then, but now he could never see her again.
