On the tenth day of the ninth month, according to the calendar, jackals are sacrificed animals.

More than seventy miles southwest of Kyoto is Chenguan Town.

Fifteen miles outside the town, under martial law, teams of hussars roared past.

The most spacious house in the town was temporarily requisitioned, and officials and scribes were constantly coming in and out.

In the lobby, Xifu Zuojunji and Wei Guogong Wang Pingzhang were sitting on the main seat.

There are seven camphor wood armchairs on the left and right, and fourteen generals of the Beijing army are sitting there.

The head coach of Nan Daying, Guangping Hou Guliang, is sitting first on the left. The middle-aged man with a jujube face opposite him is the head coach of Xi Daying, Changxing Hou Qujiang.

There are rows of poplar square stools placed on both sides of the wall, and the confidants of the generals are sitting there. Most of them are adult men in their twenties and thirties. Pei Yue, who is only fourteen years old this year, is among them and will undoubtedly become a high-level military leader.

The most eye-catching character in the discussion. However, most people did not know Pei Yue. They only knew that this young man was brought by Gu Liang, so they only looked at Pei Yue with curiosity and did not mean to look down upon him.

Those who can sit in this lobby are all heroes of the moment. No matter how talented they are, they are not short of scheming. After being surprised at the first meeting, everyone looked back and no longer wondered about Pei Yue's identity. They all listened carefully.

Wang Pingzhang's voice.

"Your Majesty has decreed that the Beijing camp must clear out the thieves in the Hengduan Mountains within three months. You are all generals in charge of the army. You may wish to elaborate on the countermeasures for this matter. Today's military meeting will not be punished for words.

You can speak freely."

Wang Pingzhang set the tone, and many people looked relaxed.

In fact, for these Beijing-based generals, today's military discussion is really a bit embarrassing.

As a comparison, the western border army dealt with the elites of the Wu Kingdom, while the southern border army dealt with the tigers and wolves of the Zhou Dynasty. No matter how high the standard is, it is not too much. After all, once the war starts, it may affect the national destiny of Daliang. But what about their Beijing camp? Then

No matter how clever they were, they couldn't change the fact that their enemies were just a group of bandits.

Although there are restrictions from various objective factors, such as the Hengduan Mountains are too large, these thieves are very cunning and have good fighting power, the thieves never confront the Beijing camp, etc., the people in Kyoto don't care about these, and neither do the censors in the court.

I will be considerate of the generals in the hall. After all, the opponent has not even put up a flag yet, which shows that they are just a group of thieves robbing homes.

It sounds really shameful that a group of mere thieves actually want the top military officer in Daliang to take charge personally, with two commanders from the Beijing camp in attendance, and a large group of powerful generals preparing for battle.

The third general on the right is Tiao Angzang, a big man with a round face, big ears, a straight nose and a square mouth. He said loudly and fiercely: "My lord, why do you need the entire capital camp to deal with these thieves? The general will only lead his own troops into the mountain."

, If the thief cannot be captured within one month, I will be willing to come and see him!"

This man's name is Pang Bin, the commander of the heroic guards of the Western Camp of the Beijing Army, with more than ten thousand infantry under his command. He has an upright temperament, and is not afraid of death in battle. At that time, he rose from a sentry officer to the commander of the heroic guards of the front army. Every time

In battle, he must rush into battle and fight in person. He is good at wielding an iron spear, and his posture is like a mad tiger. Although he has become more restrained now that he has been promoted to commander, he is still the bloodthirsty and cruel tiger general in his heart.

Wang Pingzhang was silent, while Gu Liang and Qu Jiang looked at the ground together in tacit understanding, as if there was something new and strange on the ground.

The fourth general on the left has a handsome appearance, with eyes that shine like cold stars and eyebrows that are as black as black paint. After listening to Pang Bin's aggressive request for battle, he said unhurriedly: "Commander Pang, this vanguard position has always been held by cavalry, even if

We are the first to go into the mountain. You can just clean up after the war, so there is no need to be in such a hurry."

Pang Bin's eyes widened and he cursed: "Wei Xiao, what the hell are you talking about? Your soldiers can't fight without their horses. Do you expect them to go into the mountains to suppress bandits?"

Pei Yue, who was sitting in the corner, had a thought in his heart. It turned out that this general with strange words was Wei Xiao, the commander of the Longxiang Guards of the South Day Camp. It was no wonder that this man had an unpleasant sense of superiority when he opened his mouth. After all, it costs a lot of money to raise a cavalry.

Enough to support more than ten infantrymen.

Wei Xiao smiled lightly and said: "Wei's soldiers can fight even if they are dismounted. If Commander Pang doesn't believe it, just sit back and watch. If you dare to issue a military order, wouldn't Wei dare not?"

An imposing general next to Pang Bin sarcastically said: "Commander Wei's words are somewhat true. Our Daliang army formations do often use cavalry as the vanguard, but even so, my troops should be the ones taking the lead. In recent times,

During the hunting meeting in Yanping, Commander Wei's Longxiang Guards not only lost to the general's heroic cavalry, but also the ragged cavalry from Beiying who wished they could mistake mules for horses. With such a record in front of me, I don't know where Commander Wei came from.

Do you have the confidence to seize the position of going into the mountains to suppress bandits?"

The Beijing army has three major battalions, each with one cavalry guard.

Nan Daying is under the jurisdiction of Longxiang Guards, with Wei Xiao as its commander.

The West Camp has jurisdiction over the Cavalry Guards, and the commander is named Tan Sheng, who is the person talking to Pang Bin.

As for the Beiying cavalry, let’s not mention it. We can get a glimpse of it from Tan Sheng’s words.

Tan Sheng's sarcasm stepped on Wei Xiao's sore spot, and the two began to argue. Pang Bin became even more angry and immediately joined the battle. Soon the argument turned into a quarrel, and several other generals were not to be outdone.

Hengfei, if Wang Pingzhang and the two coaches hadn't been present, they might have started fighting.

Pei Yue endured the noise that constantly hit his eardrums, and looked at the faces of the generals' confidants next to him, all calm and familiar, and he immediately made a judgment in his mind.

The generals who were quarreling were divided into two camps, one was the South Camp and the other was the West Camp. This is actually not difficult to understand. Although they both belong to the Beijing army, the armies are also divided into different hills. What's more, they are both in the Beijing camp.

It is inevitable to face various competitions, such as war horses, which are indispensable for cavalry. Everyone knows that although there are two places where military horses are produced in Daliang, they are much inferior to the Wu State in the west, which has the entire Gaoyang Plain.

A good place to raise horses.

Since there are only so many troops and horses, which cavalry general dares not to fight? Over the years, this relationship will naturally become extremely bad.

Although these generals were spitting and seemed angry, in fact, everyone was still thinking about the Zuojun fuselage.

When Wang Pingzhang spoke, the hall immediately fell silent, and he asked indifferently: "Have you had enough noise?"

These people seemed to be arguing in a lively manner, and they all wanted to kill all the bandits immediately, but in fact they did not give any substantive suggestions to the questions Wang Pingzhang raised.

This scene couldn't help but remind Pei Yue of his previous life when he held a board meeting and the directors below discussed his abilities.
