Chapter 208: Pang Fei, the defender of the border army

Early the next morning, Mu Lituo took his precious son Tuqin to Meng Tian's residence and waited for Meng Tian to come out at the door.

The nurse and the maid took the children at night, so last night's time was left to Meng Tian and Zi Yanran. Zi Yanran got up with Meng Tian, then dressed Meng Tian, packed his bags, and sent him out of the door.

Standing at the door, Meng Tian said to Zi Yanran: "Yanran, don't worry, I will definitely bring the Paradise Grass back for you, and I will wait for me to come back if you want." ”

Zi Yanran screamed, and then hugged Meng Tian tightly, she believed that Meng Tian would bring her a magic medicine that could cure herself, but Zi Yanran didn't want Meng Tian to be in danger because of herself.

Zi Yanran whispered in Meng Tian's ear: "You have to come back quickly, my son and I will be here waiting for you to come back." Then she left Meng Tian's embrace and watched Meng Tian ride on the back of the black wind.

"Master, don't worry, my dad has walked this road several times, and he is very familiar with the dangers on the road, so with my dad here, the master will not encounter danger. Tu Qin stood beside Shi Niang, and he was about to surpass Zi Yanran at a young age.

Meng Tian said to his apprentice on horseback: "Help your master to go back, during the days when I am away, your master will watch you practice, remember, you must not slack off for a day, you know?"

"The apprentice obeys the master's orders. ”

Meng Tian nodded, and the two of them rode two horses towards the northern county towns. Since Han Jin and Zi Ming had already notified the city gate guards, when they saw Meng Tian Hermuli coming on horseback, they didn't say a word and directly opened the city gate for them and let them out of the city.

After leaving the city gate, the two of them kept galloping westward, and by the time the sun appeared, the two of them were already hundreds of miles away from the northern county city. However, this distance can be said to be less than one-tenth of the whole journey, and there is still a long way to go.

The county town of Beijun is built by the water and the mountains, the west and the back are grasslands, Meng Tian Hermulito and the two people rode horses and galloped westward, and it didn't take long to get out of the grassland, and this is almost the western border of the Qin State. The soldiers stationed here were originally also soldiers from Beijun Town, and later when Wang Jian was reorganizing the army, he listed this border army separately and became an independent border army, but the military supplies were still provided by Beijun County.

The commander of this border army is named Pang Tian, and he was also a fierce general under Wang Qian, and was later sent here by Wang Jian to guard the border because of military regulations. Meng Tian had heard this person's name in Wang Qian's mouth, and Wang Jian had a good evaluation of him, because Pang Fei had a quirky personality but his skills in leading troops were good, and the soldiers he brought out were the most lethal in the Qin army. Because of this, every time he won a battle, Pang Fei's soldiers were the ones with the greatest casualties, but it was also the case that Pang Fei was rarely defeated by the enemy, unless he encountered an enemy several times his size

Person.

If Meng Tian and Mu Lituo want to enter the Western Regions, they must pass through Pang Fei's jurisdiction. So after arriving at the jurisdiction of the border army, Meng Tian dismounted and led the black wind to the front of the pass.

"I want to see your General Pang Fei. Meng Tian said to the soldiers guarding the pass.

"Who are you, are we generals you can meet if you want?" The soldier looked at this man who was about his own age, and he actually wanted to see his general as soon as he got here, just kidding.

Meng Tian ignored the soldier's vexatious trouble, he took out his seal symbolizing his status in the Qin army from his arms, handed him to the soldier, and just said, "Go, call Pang Fei to come out to see me." ”

Even if the soldiers of the border army are far away from the Qin State, they still recognize the seal that symbolizes the identity of the general, so as soon as they saw Meng Tian take out a seal, the soldier was frightened, for him, no matter what the identity of this man is, at least it is not something he can afford to provoke.

The soldier left with the seal, and Mu Lituo said to Meng Tian: "Brother, these Qin soldiers are all hooligans, when I entered the Qin State from here, I had to pay a lot of customs duties to them, and they were willing to let us pass the customs, if they didn't give it, they would directly rob us of our goods." If it weren't for your identity, I'm afraid these people would still ask us for favors. ”

Meng Tian smiled, and he said to Mu Lituo: "Don't worry, big brother, this time I promise that not only will they not ask us for money and goods, but they will also send us over obediently." ”

Mu Lituo was convinced of Meng Tian's words, because Tu Qin had told him some of the rules of the Qin army that Meng Tian had taught him, the most important of which was that the registration division in the Qin army was very strict, and the subordinates could not have the slightest disrespect for their superiors, otherwise they would be punished.

Pang Fei was wearing armor and walking on the road with a burly body. "Are you Meng Tian?" Pang Fei asked Meng Tian as he walked up to Meng Tian and Mu Lituo.

"Not bad. Meng Tian replied to him.

Pang Fei is a head taller than Meng Tian, and his body is also very strong, "General Meng didn't stay in Xianyang City to enjoy his happiness, why did he come to our border?"

Meng Tian ignored Pang Fei's rudeness and arrogance towards him. He said: "I have a little personal matter that needs to go to the Western Regions, and I heard the old general Wang Jian mention you before I came, so by the way, I will come to see you on his behalf to see if you have changed your previous stinky temper." But now it seems that instead of getting rid of it, you're disrespecting your superiors even more than you used to. ”

When Pang Fei was under Wang Qian, when it came to fighting, no general could rush ahead of him, so he had the most military achievements, because of his arrogant temperament, most of Wang Jian's people did not have a good impression of him, so that when he was assigned here by Wang Qian, none of his colleagues helped him speak.

Hearing Wang Qian's name, Pang Fei's arrogance weakened

Less, his tone was also a little warm, he clenched his fists and said, "I've seen General Meng Tian." ”

Meng Tian snorted, and he continued: "I think you also know that the king is now preparing to join the world, and it is easy to get a general for a thousand troops, so Qin is now in urgent need of a general who can lead the troops to fight." Originally, I wanted to ask if you would like to wait for me to come back and lead the troops to war, but now that I think you would be better suited to stay here. ”

Pang Fei panicked, he had been in this place where birds don't for almost ten years, he had had enough of the days here, although there was no superior to take care of him, but the environment here was too bad, he Pang Fei was not yet forty years old, it was the time to make contributions, how could he waste a good time here?

"That ......" Pang Fei didn't know what to say, he knelt on the ground in a hurry, "General Meng, the last general knows that he is wrong, please General Meng take me away, the last general really can't stay any longer, please, General Meng!"

Pang Fei is finally willing to lower his expensive head, Wang Jian is really good, this person is good everywhere, he just likes to fight, if he doesn't give him a fight, he can die of boredom.

Meng Tian said: "Since you have knelt down and begged me, it is not good to say yes if I don't agree, you should get up first." I went to the Western Regions this time to go to Loulan to do something, I don't know if there will be danger, so if I don't come back for half a month, you will take troops to Loulan, you don't need to attack the city, you just need to pretend to be very imposing, if your troops are not enough, borrow troops from Han Jin in Beijun, I have already told him, he will lend you 5,000 elite soldiers and 500 war horses. ”

Hearing that there was a fight, Pang Fei's cloudy eyes bloomed with a fine light, although it was just a pretend, it was better than staying in this ghost place all day. "The last will obey. ”

Meng Tian asked Mu Lituo to leave Pang Fei with a backup map to go to Loulan. The reason why Pang Fei was used was that Meng Tian left a guarantee for himself and a chance for Pang Fei. He has been in love with this person for a long time, and what the Mengjia army lacks now is this kind of bloody leading general. Meng Li is a killer, and it is okay for him to spy on intelligence, engage in assassination or something, Du Hui is his deputy commander, and he hopes that he can command the Meng family army for himself if he is wounded on the battlefield in the future. As for Yu Jia, Xue Bin and others are only suitable for fighting with the enemy, but if they want to knock down the enemy in one go, they still need people like Pang Fei.

After explaining what happened to Pang Fei, Meng Tian and Mu Lituo left the pass and officially stepped into the boundary of the Western Regions, and in front of them was a desert that was hundreds of miles long. The desert is not very wide, but the sand in it is very large, and according to Murito's experience, there is sand here for 300 days a year.

Meng Tian and Mu Li took to the desert realm, but it was their luck, Mu Li took a look at the desert celestial phenomena, and there would be no wind and sand in these two days. So after replenishing the water at the edge of the desert, they entered the desert with a caravan from the Western Regions.
