Chapter 11: Not a Good Lobbyist

Pei Min's eyes fell on the map where the Tang army and the Xi army were fighting, looking at the route of the Tang army's defeat and the route of the Xi army's advance. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The place where the Tang army fought with the Xi people was near Yingzhou and Liuzhou, west of White Wolf Mountain.

Looking at the map, Pei Min suddenly thought of the deeds of Cao Cao's expedition to Wuhuan during the Three Kingdoms period. At that time, Cao Wei broke Yuan Shao, swept the north, and sat on half of the world. In order to purge the remnants of the Yuan clan and completely solve the problem of the three counties of Wuhuan entering the fortress, Cao Cao followed the advice of the strategist Guo Jia and decided to go on an expedition to Wuhuan, when the main force of Wuhuan gathered in Liucheng. The purpose of the Tang army's expedition was also to recapture Liucheng, Yingzhou, which was occupied by the Khitan and Xi people, and the marching route was completely consistent with the current Tang army's marching route.

This two-hundred-mile march route was extremely bad. At that time, Cao's army was almost wiped out, and if it weren't for Tian Yu's presence, Cao Cao might have died on the march before he saw the Wuhuan army.

The gap between Sun Yan's ability and Cao Cao's cannot be reasoned. Cao Wei has prepared to march into the army, and with Cao Cao's ability, this is still the case, not to mention that Sun Yan's rash advance is almost no different from looking for death.

It is precisely because the marching route is too bad that it also seems that the Tang army was defeated. Even if Li Dayu was wiser than Zhuge , it was impossible to guess the route of the rout of all the troops of the Tang Army. In that harsh environment, he was decisive and decisive in sending troops, chasing the Tang army, chasing one accurately, which was too inconsistent with the logic of using troops, and hesitated for a moment and said: "Is this someone leaking military information?" ”

Xue Ne's face showed a look of approval, and he bowed his head and said: "There are two reasons for this defeat: first, Sun Yan doesn't know about military affairs, but he is so happy that he enters the army indiscriminately. Second, Li Dayu used his troops extremely accurately, and every time he attacked, he could find the defeated headquarters of the Tang army, first destroy the cavalry, and then divide and break the infantry one by one, and in just ten days, he used the advantage of the cavalry to completely annihilate our army. In the past, I was stationed in Youzhou and had a lot of contacts with Li Dayu. This person is indeed a commendable general, and has a strong attainment in the use of cavalry, but he will never have such a clever calculation, and it must be someone who leaked military information, so that our army lost its first hand step by step, and it was defeated by an army. ”

Pei Min was still in the second year of his blood, and when he thought of the death of 100,000 soldiers because of the mediocre and handsome traitors, he had a feeling that he would break their corpses into thousands of pieces, and paused, he hesitated: "The Metropolitan Governor wants me to find out the traitor?" ”

Xue Ne would not say such a thing to a stranger like him for no reason, and what he asked for must have something to do with it.

Sun Yan was captured by Li Dayu and dedicated to the Turkic Khan, and it is said that the Turkic Khan directly killed Sun Yan, which is also deserved. Only the leakage of military information, there is no follow-up, inherent in this speculation. As for why he was found, it is not known if he had to do so.

Xue Ne nodded in acknowledgement, got up and said, "In my early years, when I was still Emperor Zetian, I dealt with the Xi people and the Khitan. As long as I take it lightly, they will take advantage of the opportunity, and every time I play against them, there is a feeling of seeing through the opportunity, and they are very passive. I have long been aware of the mole and have investigated it many times. I have a special identity, and once I start investigating, it will make the entire Youzhou people panic, and I can only know it. Later, I was thinking that a traitor may not be a lieutenant general, or a wealthy businessman, a wealthy nobleman, or a reckless person, as long as there is a certain amount of power in this Youzhou, it is possible. Especially Sun Yan likes to make friends with people from all walks of life, and he is on par with Meng Weijun in ancient times, and there are all kinds of chickens and dogs around him, so it is not too easy to mix with him, and it has also caused unprecedented harm for some reason. ”

Pei Min was stunned for a while, this Youzhou is a vast land, and there are all kinds of powerful characters in it, I don't know how many, if you want to find a traitor from it, it is not easy to find a needle in a haystack, how easy it is to say. But he also knew that it was imperative to find out the traitor, but he really couldn't think of anything he needed his help with: "The Metropolitan Governor doesn't have a clue? ”

Xue Ne shook his head and said: "I can't blatantly investigate, if this traitor makes the people of Youzhou panic, the gains outweigh the losses." I can't do my best to find out here, they hide deeply, and they rarely act, so I haven't found any useful clues. But foxes will show their tails one day, and your presence should be able to grab their tails. He also stopped selling lawsuits, and said directly: "Do you know who the person you killed in Huairou County is?" ”

Pei Min suddenly said: "It seems to be Li Dayu's son." ”

"Not bad!" Xue Ne said: "To be exact, Li Dayu is the only son who has the ability to inherit the throne of the Xi clan, and the Xi clan attaches great importance to ability and practice. Their leader must have the ability to serve the people, and without this he is not qualified to succeed to the throne. Li Dayu has several sons, but only Li Moke can really handle it. In recent years, Li Dayu has been cultivating Li Moke in order to inherit his position in the future. This time, he sent Li Moke to loot Huairou County, obviously to send prestige and military exploits, but he didn't want to meet you. His only heir was killed, and you think he'll give up? According to the information in my hands, Li Dayu now hates you to the core, and even issued a reward order, and those who can take your head will be rewarded with 100 horses and 500 fat sheep. He hates you so far, and you are just an ordinary scholar who has left the Pei family to ignore him, and he has no power at all, how can he not take revenge on you? He is in the Xi clan, and he is beyond the reach of the whip, and he will definitely use the power of Youzhou in this regard. As long as the other party does it, there is no worry about not being able to touch the melon. ”

Pei Min Huoran got up and said in horror: "Then my mother, isn't it very dangerous?" He came to me, and I was not afraid, and my mother could resist it? ”

"Don't worry!" Xue Ne stretched out his hand and signaled Pei Min Mo to be impatient: "They should cooperate inside and outside, and they have done such a big thing." How can you not stop for a while, even if you have the heart to take revenge, you will not choose this time. Your mother is safe for the time being, for your mother, and for the sacrifice of the 100,000 Tang Army soldiers near White Wolf Mountain, I hope you can help me find out the traitor. ”

After Xue Ne finished speaking, he looked at Pei Min expectantly, he hated the traitor hidden in the depths of Youzhou for a long time, but the other party hid it deeply and was powerless. Pei Min accidentally killed Li Moke, which made him see a glimmer of opportunity. It's just that there is a certain danger, so I moved to test it to see if Pei Min is as powerful as rumored. If Pei Min couldn't resist his test and let him succeed in the sneak attack, he would persuade Pei Min to leave Youzhou with his mother, so as not to die in vain. But at the moment, Pei Min's excellent swordsmanship gave him a certain amount of confidence, and he desperately hoped to get his help.

Pei Min looked at Xue Ne's expression, he already had a plan in his heart, and said with a smile: "The Metropolitan Governor is a good general, but he is not a good lobbyist......
