At present, on the border line of Youbei, Governor Pei Yapei, who took over the post of Governor of Fuye Zhongshan, was originally born as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites. Although he also studied hard in Sanbei Academy when he was young, among the six arts of gentlemen in Sanbei Academy, there are also two courses: archery and royalty. But no matter what his achievements are, there is still a gap between theory and practice that cannot be easily bridged. So to rectify the roots, Pei Ya at this time is still a civil official.

However, this civilian governor of Zhongshan stood in front of the northern border of Zhongshan with a sword on his waist and a frown, and behind him, he also carried a hard bow on his back, looking majestic and majestic. At this time, Pei Ya already had a bit of a taste of both civil and military.

"Pei Du, let's go back to the camp, the wind is too hard today, maybe there will be a big battle soon, if the wind blows to a cold and high fever at this time, then how can it be good!"

The chief of the guard of the Governor's Mansion who came to escort Pei Ya's border inspection came forward at this time and whispered in Pei Ya's ear. In the eyes of the chief of the guard, Pei Du, who succeeded the old chief Fu Ye, although he has some scholarly spirit, is also a capable person. First of all, he attaches great importance to the business environment of Zhongshan Road, and often personally leads the soldiers to take the initiative to inspect the trade routes, and at the same time trains new soldiers, he leads to clear more than 30 large and small bandit nests in Zhongshan, and is deeply praised and loved by the people and merchants of Zhongshan Road; Without banditry, freight costs have naturally decreased a lot, prices on Zhongshan Road have gradually stabilized, and people's lives have gradually become richer.

As the governor, this Pei Ya also took over the work of the tax collection department and the political envoy. This was originally a very taboo thing, but when he came to Pei Ya, because of the emperor's favor, he was also happy to let him put the two incompetent Yan disciples in the cabinet. Today's Pei Ya, under the permissiveness of Emperor Xuande, has faintly the same power in his hands as Guo Yunsong at the beginning, of course, it is only about the same on the surface.

Recently, there has been an emergency in the northern border, and the imperial court flying cavalry has also sent a secret report from the inner court. Pei Ya just put on his horse after reading it, and took a few cronies to the border to start the field survey. This attitude in terms of efficiency alone is enough to throw off the idle former governor Fu Ye for several streets.

At this time, Pei Ya, who was wearing heavy armor, gritted his teeth, and carefully observed the distance against the hard wind blowing on the grassland, observing the border between the two countries. He shook his head, turned to the captain of the Governor's Guard, and said:

"It's no wonder that every spring and autumn on our Zhongshan Road, there will always be horse thieves who make trouble. Such a border, even if my governor's army has more troops, it will be useless......" Speaking of this, Pei Ya scraped the sand on the ground with his toes: "Look at the land here, the dry places are all gravel and sand, and the slightly wetter places hide mud and swamps...... In such an environment, not to mention building walls, even the march of infantry is very dangerous...... I don't know why those prairie horse thieves can always come and go like the wind and move freely...... Hey......"

Yes, Pei Ya received the secret music sent by the inner court, but he didn't mention anything new. It's just that while explaining the situation, let Pei Ya neither preemptively strike, nor let the Mobei army step into the territory of Youbei. All subsequent action plans will have to wait for the other party's envoys to enter Fengjing before making the next specific deployment.

Pei Ya looked at this somewhat contradictory secret music, and he was a little nervous. If there is only the Northern Yan army, it is easy to say, after all, for many years, the two sides of Beiyan and Youbei have had a tacit understanding with the East Customs, the world's first Xiongguan, as the center point, and all light and dark actions will be carried out in this place where soldiers must fight. Over the years, the two sides have won and lost each other, but the two sides have known each other for a long time.

On the contrary, the Mobei defense line in front of him is the most dangerous: the entire Zhongshan Road and the Mobei grassland are more than 1,000 miles of bordering the border, although according to the past experience can roughly deduce several key defensive areas, but the Mobei people are a nation on horseback, whether it is the speed of attack and retreat or interspersed behind enemy lines, it is not comparable to those ordinary soldiers in their hands.

Although Pei Ya, who was born as a literati, was extremely outstanding in talent and talent, after all, this was the first time he had personally commanded a war, and he was a little upset for a while when he looked at the extremely bad border in front of him. The chief of the guard of the Governor's Mansion on the side saw Pei Du frowning, and he couldn't help but gasp like a toothache, and he also understood a little in his heart.

For this new governor, the chief of the guard still admires it. Whether it is his diligence and seriousness in military affairs, or his policy program to seek a higher standard of living for the common people, it can be seen that Pei Yaqi is a capable and practical governor. So he didn't care about the taboo, and gave his own opinion to the new master:

"Pei Du, you are a scholar after all, and now you naturally feel a little nowhere to start in the face of these battlefield military affairs. From a humble point of view, it is better for you to go back to the barracks and ask some battle-hardened generals for advice, and maybe get some good advice. Of course, lowly position does not mean that you are ......"

"Good! That's a good idea! Pei Ya, who almost got into the tip of the horns, heard the words of the chief of the guard at this time, and his eyes immediately lit up: "This is indeed the negligence of the governor, what solution can he come up with behind closed doors to solve the problem?" It's better to listen to both. You're right, after all, I learned military affairs from books, and I will never experience it more deeply than those battle-hardened generals. Good! That's it! ”

After Pei Ya finished speaking, he nodded appreciatively to the chief of the guard, and then stepped on the war horse again resolutely, and waved his right arm: "Brothers, go back to the camp for a meeting!" As soon as he finished speaking, he rode away first.

The head of the guard, who was still a little stunned in place, was extremely moved, rubbed his eyes casually, turned over and stepped on the war horse, and galloped away in the direction of the barracks.

Pei Ya is such a pragmatic character, and he made a decision and started directly. He didn't care about any etiquette and majesty, he didn't even care about the heavy drape on his body, and walked directly into the big tent of the chief general in the army.

The Zhongshan Governor's Mansion Army he led was originally the reserve of the main force of the Taibai Guard. After the pacification of Youbei Third Road, it was decreed by the emperor at that time, and Guo Yunsong, the governor of Zhongshan Road at the time, personally reformed the system, and transferred the elite of the original Taibai Wei into the palace to protect the safety of the royal family; And the reservists of the second echelon have become the Zhongshan governor's army that is now guarding the Zhongshan border.

However, it can be seen that at the beginning of the founding of Youbei Third Road, the state form was quite a shadow of the 'ancient Shang State' feudal system. That is to say, as long as the princes obey the orders of the Son of Heaven, regularly go to the capital to report on their work, and can pay taxes and tribute on time, and can help the Son of Heaven to defend the territory, then if he wants to make something in his own feudal territory, it is his own business, and the Son of Heaven will not interfere.

That's what Guo Yunsong did at that time; And Dongyou Li Sanyuan at that time also did the same; However, the vastly different princes of Guo and Li at this time were because Guo Yunsong and Li Deng had different attitudes towards Emperor Xuande; After Yan Hunt came to power, Li Deng came to Fengjing as an official at his own request, or he could be a hostage; And Guo Yunsong, the governor of Zhongshan, was transferred by Feng Zhao, which left an extremely bad impression on Yan Zhan in terms of subjective initiative; After that, the attitude above the court, the two were even more different. After the fermentation of various reasons, it finally led to the complete destruction of the Guo family.

However, although the predecessor Guo family was "Zhuyu in front", the successor governor Pei Ya still followed his old path: he took the entire Zhongshan Road's military and political, financial, people's livelihood, and commerce into his own hands! Of course, there is a fundamental difference between him and Guo Yunsong doing this, he is really doing errands!

It didn't take long for the horn to sound, and the tent in the camp was already packed. There were non-commissioned officers and generals of all classes, and even a few logistics leaders were also ordered to come and observe. Governor Pei Ya did not sit behind the handsome case at this time, but stood in the crowd. He slowly looked around from side to side, and after muffling the cacophony with a soft gaze, he spoke:

"Since the succession of this governor, I have relied on the trust of the Son of Heaven and the help of the kings, which has made me, a military governor who was born a scribe, not make any big jokes. But yesterday I received a report from the imperial court that Beiyan and Mobei had formed an alliance again, and the two sides were on the border of the north, and they might have to attack the two sides in a big way. Just now, I went to inspect the border with my family guards, and I came back with a worried heart. It is for this reason that all of your fellow brothers will be summoned at this time to come to the discussion. On weekdays, I only know how to talk about soldiers on paper, and I don't even have a single knife wound on my body, let alone really arrange the troops......"

At this point, Pei Ya stopped talking and deeply made a "circle" to all the military men around him:

"From this moment on, there will be no more generals in this tent, nor will there be any assistants, only my comrades from the Zhongshan Governor's Army, and please be able to speak freely and give advice."

After this gesture of Corporal Lixian's humble request for advice, these rough soldiers in the tent were shocked and at a loss, and many of them had shallow eye sockets, and they were even moved to tears.

Let's not talk about what kind of effect this meeting can bring, just talking about Pei Ya's move today, which has made many veterans in the army who are nostalgic for the Fu and Guo families ease their original casual attitude of "non-violence and non-cooperation".
