Tongguan, since the fall of the resurgence, has never gathered so many soldiers and horses. Outside the wall, there was a company camp with no end in sight.

"Brother, younger brother doesn't understand, ordinary people are camping in search of a safe and easy place to defend, why did Doctor Qin choose this dangerous place?

Pei Yu looked puzzled, he had no contact with Qin Jin, and he knew that his clan brother Pei Jing had a great relationship with Qin Jin, so he wanted to find out from the mouth of his clan brother, what kind of way was it to camp and arrange troops like this!

At this time, Pei Jing was no longer the powdery-faced and oily-headed gentleman in Chang'an City, with an inch of long beard on his cheeks under his chin, and the lines on his face seemed to have been carved by a knife and axe, with sharp edges and ravines. His right hand rested lightly on the hilt of the horizontal knife at his waist, and his gaze kept scanning beyond the wall.

"Doctor Qin is always steady and anxious when he uses troops, and he can't figure out the routine for his brother, but there is no danger in camping outside the gate at the moment. Today, Tanma has just submitted a military report, and there is no trace of the rebels for hundreds of miles to the west, so what else is there to worry about?"

Pei Yun echoed:

"What my brother said is very true, I heard that Dr. Qin only set off from Chang'an yesterday, but in one day and night, tens of thousands of soldiers can march two hundred miles, I really don't know how to do it!"

At this time, Pei Jing glanced back at Pei Yun.

"You have joined the Shenwu Army for a short time, and you have not seen Dr. Qin's ability to train soldiers, this rapid march is the housekeeping ability of our Shenwu Army. ”

As he spoke, there was a slight smug look in his eyes, and he asked in an accentuated tone:

"Do you know what is the key to winning on the battlefield?"

Pei Yu scratched his head and replied:

"Natural tricks are superior, but there are very few people who are good at tricks!"

Hearing this, Pei Jing shook his head disappreciatively.

"The trick is only one of them, but the key lies in the word 'fast'! Otherwise, why is the cavalry so important? The foot soldiers of the Shenwu army win with speed, and the thieves and rebels will suffer!"

Pei Yu has always been very convinced by this clan brother, but today he didn't know which tendon he had made wrong, and he questioned:

"Fang Xuan led a patchwork of men and horses, didn't he hit Luoyang City smoothly? If it hadn't been a failure, the imperial court might have crossed the Yellow River north now!"

Suddenly, Pei Jing laughed and pointed at his brother, a little out of breath.

"You, you, you haven't seen the combat effectiveness of the Shenwu Army, and the one that Fang Xuan relies on is just an opportunity for Sun Xiaozhe's rebels to be empty for hundreds of miles from Tongguan to Luoyang after the fall of Guanzhong. Therefore, it is not uncommon for Luoyang City to lose the next battle!"

"Could it be that my brother had expected Fang Xuan to have such a defeat? In this way, Doctor Qin had already guessed it. Yes, it must be so, otherwise how could Doctor Qin let Fang Xuan's old man take away the credit......

Looking at the clan brother who was guessing from himself, Pei Jing shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"As a brother and not an immortal, how can he be unpredictable? I guess Doctor Qin's original intention was to give up this credit. It's a pity, Fang Xuan is not angry, his hand is full of good cards, and he has to clean up the mess in the end!"

Pei Yu was a little geared up, and there was a hint of regret in his expression.

"It's a pity, we still have to guard Tongguan, otherwise we can rush up and grab some credit and come back!"

"In the future, there will be more opportunities for meritorious service? Moreover, looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, how many people are there who are the commanders of the Ma Army when they are just over the age of Double Ten?"

After being reprimanded by his brother, Pei Yu scratched his head a little embarrassed.

"What the elder brother blames is that the younger brother is eager for quick success, this is a big taboo, a big taboo!"

Pei Jing smiled slightly and said:

"It's good to know, for the general, the most taboo is to be anxious for quick success, the light is humiliating, the heavy can be lost to the teacher, and the ancestors are disgraced, don't be careless!"

"I just saw Dr. Qin's demeanor, it seems that he is not a few years older than you and my brother, but he is already a third-grade minister, and he is only one step away from entering the political affairs hall to worship the prime minister, it is really good to be envied!"

"Doctor Qin is gifted, how can you compare yourself? If you talk about military talents, even if you pay homage to the prime minister, it is not an exaggeration, but Doctor Qin is worried about his lack of qualifications, so he is reluctant to enter the political hall. ”

After listening to his brother's analysis of Qin Jin, Pei Yu was greatly surprised, he had never seen anyone who diligently sought office, but he had never seen anyone who avoided it.

"The last general, Tian Chenghe, meets the general!"

As the two brothers were talking, they were interrupted by an abrupt voice, thick and loud. Pei Yu turned his head to look, but saw a medium-sized, but extremely stocky bearded soldier standing on the road of the city wall ten paces away.

"It turned out to be Captain Tian, what's going on?"

Without waiting for the main owner Pei Jing to speak, Pei Yu asked first.

This Tian Chenghei was originally a member of An Lushan's command, and after the fall of Tongguan, he was a Tongguan guard for a while, and later Pei Jing sent a surprise attack to drive him away and capture Tongguan. This person went to the city of Hedong Donglingguan, and was exhausted by Chen Qianli, who insisted on this place, and had no choice but to surrender to Cheng.

Tian Chengji also set a precedent for the besiegers to surrender first. However, after surrendering to the Tang Dynasty, this person really made several contributions, and was pardoned by the Son of Heaven, which can be regarded as a firm foothold. Pei Jing felt that it was not safe to put this person in Hedong, so he transferred this person to Tongguan and put it under his nose, saving this person from repeating.

The pioneer who dared to die in the surprise attack on the city was Pei Yun, and the two of them were also old acquaintances. Since Tian Chengsi returned to Tongguan, instead of having the slightest affection for the Pei family brothers, he did his best to greet him, and even won Pei Yu's favor.

Unlike Pei Yun, Pei Jing has always been wary of Tian Chenghe, and in his experience, the more people who are often greeted by this kind of stammer, they are the villains who are very deep in the city, and they are the most capricious. In the hearts of such people, there is no major morality, and the people who are driven by it are nothing more than the word profit!

"The last general has just received an order from Doctor Qin, and the last general will go out with the army. ”

Pei Yu was anxious and envious when he heard it.

"And such good things......"

It's just that before the second half of the words could be spoken, he was blocked back by his brother's stern gaze.

"Doctor Qin is not only the general of the Shenwu Army, but also the envoy of Heluo, and he can control all the soldiers and horses in Heluo, and he will be transferred!"

Unexpectedly, Tian Chengsi said:

"The last general does not want to go, and he is willing to always follow the general!"

Pei Yu finally couldn't help but say:

"Even if you still have a conscience, treat my brother kindly!"

Pei Jing's face was expressionless, and he only asked again:

"You really don't want to go to Doctor Qin?"

"Indeed!"

"Okay, I see, you go down first!"

After Tian Chengsi left, Pei Jing suddenly asked:

"Do you think Tian Chengsi really doesn't want to go?"

Pei Yu was stunned.

"Is this someone lying?"

"He's retreating as advancing, the villain is just thinking about it, and what he wants is that you and I don't embarrass him! In fact, Doctor Qin's military book had already been delivered an hour ago, so why did he need to do anything more?"

Pei Yu originally thought that Tian Chenghei was nostalgic, but now he couldn't help but feel a little indignant when he found out that he had been deceived, but after thinking about it for a while, he had another idea.

"Isn't this guy trying to provoke?"

After pondering for a long time, Pei Jingcai said:

"It's not impossible, but I don't know what Doctor Qin values about such a villain?"

At this time, Pei Yu reacted.

"Could it be that Doctor Qin wants to reuse this person?"

Pei Jing asked rhetorically:

"What do you say?"

He has followed Qin Jin for a long time, and he knows Qin Jin's temperament best, and he only values talent and does not ask questions, so villains like Du Qianyun can also be used for him.

But Pei Jing observed Tian Chenghei and his person, he had no outstanding military talent, and he couldn't see that he was good at anything else, so how could he be valued by Qin Jin?

……

The Shenwu army was outside Tongguan City for a day and a night, and then there was a more intense and rapid march, so this day and night was very important for the Shenwu army, although the company camp stretched for several miles, it was as quiet as a dead camp.

Under the guidance of the soldiers on duty, Tian Chengsi went deep into the Shenwu Army camp step by step, in his imagination, the Shenwu Army should be no different from the ordinary army, but it was not until the moment he entered the gate that he knew that it was completely different from what he imagined.

Although the sun was already scorching at this time, walking in the quiet barracks, there were only the sound of cicadas one after another, and Tian Chengsi even had the illusion of a cold sweat.

For Tian Chenghei and his people, Qin Jin has long been like thunder and has been famous for a long time. In the original historical records, this person surrendered to the Tang Dynasty in the Anshi Rebellion, was named the envoy of Wei Bojie, and then rebelled against the Tang Dynasty several times, which was the first evil of the intensifying division of the feudal town. Since then, more than 100 years, until the period of the Five Dynasties, Wei Bo Ya soldiers are the world's strongest army, Wei Bo Jie Du envoy was later called the Tianxiong Army Festival Envoy, later generations have more "Chang'an Son of Heaven, Wei Bo Ya Army" said.

Therefore, when Qin Jin learned that Tian Chenghei and his person were under Pei Jing's command, he had the idea of transferring this person to his command. The purpose is twofold, one is to limit the person, and the other is to reuse the person.

However, at first sight, Qin Jin was a little disappointed. All he saw was a trembling bearded lieutenant, which was very different from the impression of the Tianxiong Army, which was known for its toughness.

"You are Tian Chenghei?"

"Return, back to the doctor, it's the last general!"

Even stammered when he said a word, if it wasn't for this person pretending, then it must be a mistake in history, how could a person with this qualification become the strongest army in the world?

Qin Jin looked directly at Tian Chenghe, and found that there were beads of sweat rolling down this person's cheeks, and then looked at his pale face as paper, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

It is said that it is better to be famous than to meet, it turns out that the Tianxiong Army Festival envoy in history is actually such a timid person.

Qin Jin didn't know that the psychological pressure he brought to Tian Chengsi was by no means something that ordinary people could bear. This is the case with people in the world, even the strongest people will be nervous, anxious, and even fearful when faced with unpredictable and uncontrollable pressure.

Tian Chengsi is not a person with an iron mind, so it is not surprising that he is drenched in cold sweat at this time!
