The Qin clan has been thundering and raining a little recently, although they started to gather troops at the border early, but it was only a small fight, and they didn't really do anything with the people of the Pei Dynasty.

Lin Zhengxiao, the advisor of the Qin family, was anxious in his eyes, he had been planning behind the Qin family for so long, but he had not seen them do it for a long time, and if it continued like this, it was small to lose the opportunity, if the Pei family took the initiative to make trouble, I am afraid that it would be difficult for them to even defend the city.

"Where did Leader Jean go all day today?" Lin Zhengxiao asked the little guy on the side.

The little guy bowed and replied: "I heard that I still went to the leaders of several surrounding tribes, but my subordinates didn't look good when they saw him come back, and it is estimated that they didn't negotiate." ”

Although with the help of the surrounding tribes, they will definitely have a better chance of winning the battle, but if they rely on the help of others, they will not be able to succeed in the end.

Lin Zhengxiao hesitated for a while but decided to go to the tent of the leader of Qin, and after waiting for the soldiers outside the door to report, Lin Zhengxiao walked in and explained his intention directly: "Lord Chief, my subordinates want to ask, now that the army has been assembled, why is it still delayed, what is the leader waiting for?" ”

The leader of Qin glanced at the anxious young man in front of him, Lin Zhengxiao was not from their tribe, he suddenly came here two years ago, and somehow played with his eldest son.

I heard that he has some skills, especially in military talent, but the leader of Qin couldn't see it before he was ready to fight, and later after preparing to crusade against the Pei family, he began to find that he did have two skills.

It's just that this young man is inevitably too enthusiastic about the war, and his eyes that exude a fanaticism for the war not only did not make the leader of Qin feel a little secure, but a little uneasy.

"I've been busy lobbying the surrounding leaders for a while, you know that." The Qin leader lowered his head and threw a list in his hand to Lin Zhengxiao, "There is not a single one who promised to support us, Lin Moushi really thinks that with the power of our Qin clan, he can destroy the Pei Dynasty, with all due respect, I don't have such a naïve idea." ”

The Pei Dynasty has been established for more than a hundred years, and its land area is so large that these small tribes cannot be compared to the sum of their land, and the land on their side is barren, that is, some daily food and clothing need to be purchased from the Pei family.

It would be good if he could really annex the Pei family, but he was by no means the kind of simple-minded leader, such an attractive meal was not something he could nibble on if he wanted to.

If these small countries could all join forces, he would still be a little sure, but now it seems that he is afraid that he will withdraw his troops before the battle, and he will never take this risk with his current things, so that when the time comes, not only did he not eat the big meal, but he also took himself with him.

"They don't support their subordinates very understandingly, because what they think now is the same as what the leader thinks, what you are afraid of is also what they are afraid of, and what you are worried about is naturally what they are worried about, but if you eliminate all these worries and fears, then you don't have to worry that these people will not follow you, and then you will be the highest leader among these people." Lin Zhengxiao analyzed them one by one.

He knew that the Pei family's big cake made the Qin clan dare not bite it, so he would draw a small cake for the Qin clan first, and become the supreme leader of the tribes, and it should be the common desire of these leaders to subdue the tribes.

"Please also ask Lin Moushi to elaborate." The eyes of the leader of the qin lit up, and he thought of the embarrassment that the lord of Jintai had given him, and it would be great if he could make him bow down to him.

As expected, Lin Zhengxiao smiled: "Now we are all ready, just wait for the leader to give an order, this time is the time when we have the most abundant materials, and this is the best time to attack, we just need to take one or two villages and cities on the border in one go, so that these leaders around us can see the hope of defeating the Pei clan, and they will not take the initiative to ask for cooperation." ”

"But what if we can't take it? The premise of your idea is that we have to do it first, if it is ......" The leader of the Qin is still very hesitant.

Lin Zhengxiao secretly gritted his teeth, this Qin leader is really useless, fighting a war is like gambling, who can guarantee that he will be able to win, and if he doesn't want to lose a little bit, he will take the Pei family, it's just a fool's dream.

But he still smiled patiently: "My subordinates have analyzed, these generals on the border of the Pei clan are all newcomers who have been promoted in recent years, and the Pei clan and all our tribes have been safe and sound for many years, and those of them have long lost their fighting spirit and combat effectiveness, and they don't want our Qin clan, but they have always been all soldiers." ”

It is a bit exaggerated that all the people are soldiers, but they have not relaxed their own training, and the people of the tribe are fierce and aggressive, which is naturally different from the environment in which the Pei clan rules the world by literati.

The leader of the qin was moved again, but he still didn't agree: "Okay, you let me think about it, I can't gamble with the lives of my people, you go back first." ”

Lin Zhengxiao knew that this matter could not be rushed, so he arched his hand and retreated, he did not go back to the camp directly, but wandered around, and sure enough, as he thought in his heart, the personal guards around the leader of Qin went towards Qin Mu's tent.

The piece of cake he drew for the leader of Qin seemed to be beginning to take root in his heart, as for Qin Mu, Lin Zhengxiao was even less worried, he was already a person with huge ambitions, and he would not see the delicious food in front of him and not rush forward.

"Lin Zhengxiao, how familiar are you?" The leader of Qin told all the conversations between Lin Zhengxiao and himself, "This person has a strange background, I haven't found anything after checking for a long time, although I am very moved by his words, but I am not very relieved about this person." ”

Qin Mu had already made the conversation between the leader of Qin and Lin Zhengxiao boiling, and when he saw that his father was hesitant about Lin Zhengxiao, he naturally tried his best to help him say good things: "Lin Moushi is not a child, the child met him at a Wencheng meeting, and saw that he was very knowledgeable and knowledgeable, so he took the initiative to make friends, but later learned that he had no family behind him, and he had nothing to worry about, so he brought people back to the tribe." ”

Qin Leader pondered intently, Qin Mu continued: "He does have the ability, the child is not speaking for him, but our actions are afraid that they have been passed on to Pei's Lao'er, my father thinks that he can tolerate us challenging his authority, I am afraid that at this time he is already thinking about dealing with us, my sister is no longer there, the peace between the two countries is over, this war will happen sooner or later, it is better for us to take the initiative." ”

"The matter has come to this point, if we retreat back at this time, not to mention the Pei clan, even other clans will look down on us, father, think about it." The more Qin Mu spoke, the more energetic he became.

The Qin leader nodded: "You can invite Lin Strategist over again and we will talk." ”

Lin Zhengxiao was waiting in the tent with a military book, and when he saw Qin Mu personally coming to invite him, he hurriedly agreed: "Please wait a while, and your subordinates will take something and leave." ”

The leader of Qin nodded the wine cup in his hand, and asked thoughtfully: "Lin Moushi is so interested in the war, is there any ability that has not been revealed, I look at you as if you have a good heart, is there any sincerity that has not been shown?" ”

Lin Zhengxiao smiled and directly presented the things in his hand: "Lord Chief, look at this." ”

The leader of the piano slowly opened a scroll, and saw that it was actually a layout map of the border defense on it, and couldn't help but be surprised: "This is?" ”

"As you expected, this is Pei's border defense layout map, with it, you are like a tiger." Lin Zhengxiao explained with a smile, he straightened up, and his face was proud: "In the past few days, I have surveyed the vicinity, and the war between the two sides has not started, and the Pei clan has no fortification, so I asked me to draw this defense map, so my subordinates dare to say that the current Pei army is not as good as before." ”

Qin Mu stepped forward and looked at the defense map and was overjoyed: "Lin Moushi is really a god, with this thing, the Pei family's border town is not just a handy." ”

"Father, what are you waiting for?" Qin Mu asked eagerly

Lin Zhengxiao looked at the leader of Qin, and knew that he would have to give him another dose of fierce medicine: "Leader Qin still needs to make a decision early, now that the Pei family has almost gotten the news, if they send someone over, it will be too late for us, now take advantage of the deployment map in hand, take them by surprise, and win the first victory to win over the surrounding tribes, and then we can succeed." ”

"Order: Go down and start attacking early tomorrow morning!" The leader of the qin put down the wine cup in his hand, stood up and shouted loudly.

Lin Zhengxiao could have stayed in the base camp and didn't show up, but he still asked to follow Qin Mu to move together: "This first battle, I naturally have to participate in it personally, otherwise I always feel that it is a pity." ”

Seeing that he insisted on not persuading, Qin Mu set off with his troops, and with the defense map, entering the Pei border was simply a no-man's land.

By the time the soldiers defending Pei's family found out, Qin Mu had already led his troops to occupy two villages on the border of Pei's family, and no men, women, or children in the villages, there was no trace of survival.

Pei's defenders only brought a team, and they didn't dare to have a head-on conflict with the Qin clan, so they could only look at the two villages that were slaughtered from a distance, and their eyes were all dark red, and those bloody ones drilled straight into their noses at such a distance, and the defenders were red-eyed, but they still suppressed the resentment in their hearts and retreated to the city with the soldiers.

Qin Mu took a handkerchief and gently wiped his big knife, and saw that Lin Zhengxiao had been staring at the tea cup in his hand, and said with a chuckle: "I thought that Lin Moushi would be a little uncomfortable when he saw this kind of picture, it seems that if you don't become a strategist, you should be a good general." ”

Checkmate? Lin Zhengxiao smiled disdainfully in his heart, no matter how powerful the general is, he is just a knife in the hands of the superior, what he wants to do is the controller behind the scenes, if the Qin clan can do what he thinks, soon his Lin Zhengxiao's name will spread everywhere on this continent.

Lin Zhengxiao took a sip of tea: "Fighting!" These are inevitable, and a woman's kindness will not make a big deal. Qin Mu laughed out loud when he heard this.

The defenders of the city will send the news of the border to the capital as soon as possible, but at the same time, Pei Shu has been kneeling in the imperial study for half a day.

He knew in his heart that the war was dangerous, but this was not a reason for him to hide in the capital, Pei Yuan invited himself to the battlefield, and he must not be inferior to him.

So he asked the emperor to agree to go with him, but after the emperor heard about his intention, he asked him to kneel outside until now, but he didn't want to see him.

It wasn't until his knees were slightly numb that the chief manager next to the emperor came out to speak: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you can go in, it's just that the old slave said more, the emperor is all for your good, don't be angry with the emperor!" ”

Pei Shu nodded and went in, but he didn't suppress his temperament, and after asking An, he directly asked the question in his heart: "Why did my father appoint Pei Yuan as a deputy general, General Shi is his uncle, and Pei Yuan becomes a deputy general again, so isn't the entire military camp his." ”

"He is the most suitable, and he invited himself to the battlefield, who else can he send if he is not sent? You're going to give me a personal choice. The emperor replied in a deep voice.

What Pei Shu was waiting for was this sentence: "Erchen is willing to lead the army to fight, don't you always say that all the officials are not convinced to be the prince?" Then the retainers made a gesture to show them that they were qualified to sit in this position. ”

"Shut up!" The emperor stood up, "You are the eldest son, you should sit in this position, no one can question this matter, and you don't need to go to war to prove anything." ”

"But ......," Pei Shu wanted to say more.

The emperor waved his hand and interrupted him in a softened tone: "The sword has no eyes on the battlefield, if you have any accidents, who else can I hand over this entire dynasty, you are the crown prince, and the general will naturally do the war, you have to understand my painstaking efforts." ”

In addition to this layer, he naturally has other considerations, if Pei Yuan has been in the capital, he has no way to solve him, but if he goes to the battlefield, it will be uncertain, and when the time comes, he will arrange an accident on the way, and this big trouble will no longer exist.
