Chapter 10: Temptation
This sudden sword was fast and fast, and it seemed to take his life!
The other party was dressed in black, and his face was covered, except for his burly figure, he couldn't see anything, and he didn't know who actually appeared in the governor's mansion to assassinate. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It was the first time Pei Min had encountered such a situation, and he was only scared into a cold sweat. But his reaction was not unpleasant! At this life-and-death juncture, it doesn't matter whether it is elegant or unsightly, he just rolls on a donkey and rolls around on the ground.
Before he could get up, Pei Min drew the saber at his waist.
As soon as the sword was in his hand, Pei Min no longer had any ripples in his heart, and all kinds of uneasy emotions disappeared, and his whole person seemed to have changed.
Holding the ground with his backhand, he got up with his strength, and before he could stand firmly, the long sword had already stabbed at the opponent. There was no strange change in the sword momentum of this sword, but the tip of the sword trembled, floating and unstable, enveloping the thirty large acupoints on the chest, flanks, lower abdomen, and throat of the man in black under this sword attack, and the attack was extremely powerful.
The man in black reversed his wrist, and in the face of this sword, he didn't know how to resist it, and took three steps back, but he still didn't dare to carry the sword under Pei Min's sword to fight back.
Pei Min succeeded with a sword, but immediately changed his moves, the silver light flashed, his sword was as fast as a flying snake lightning, one step at a time, extremely fast, in an instant, with ten moves and twenty-one swords, the black-clothed man who only hit was in a hurry, and the two-handed sword and sheath danced in front of him indiscriminately, and he had no power to fight back, so he could only keep retreating, and with a bang, the vest hit the wall.
"No more fighting, no fighting! I'm Xue Ne, I'm Xue Ne! The man in black shouted in shock, his voice was old and majestic, he tore off the black scarf on his face, revealing a majestic old face, and after making sure that Pei Min was no longer attacking, he put the long sword into the scabbard to show friendship.
Xue Ne is sixty and two this year, although his hair is gray and white, but his red face is full of red light as if he is in the prime of life, and he is not old at all.
Pei Min did not doubt the words of the man in black, this governor's mansion was heavily guarded, and it was inconceivable that an assassin in black appeared inexplicably, not to mention that the assassin was still an elderly person, let alone an old man, so he also put the sword back into the scabbard and looked at Xue Ne with a bit of confusion.
Xue Ne wiped a handful of sweat stains oozing from the corners of his forehead, and said with a little shock: "The future is terrible, the future is terrible!" Although I, Xue Ne, am a cavalry general, not good at foot combat, and not good at swordsmanship, but I have also practiced martial arts since I was a child, and I have been practicing martial arts for 60 years. Your sword may seem disorganized, patchworked, but it's so clever that it's hard to guard against. As he spoke, he walked to the master's seat in the center of the study and sat down, while beckoning Pei Min to take a seat.
Pei Min just sat down, and was about to ask Xue Ne why he staged this play, if he hadn't been suspicious, Xue Ne, who was bound, was only afraid that there would be a few more wounds on his body.
Before he could speak, Xue Ne had already said, "You must be curious why I pretended to be an assassin and stabbed you with a sword?" ”
Pei Min nodded and said, "The governor should want to test me, but for what reason, I really can't think of it." Presumably this is also the reason why the Governor specially invited me to come to the Governor's Mansion. ”
Xue Ne smiled: "Yes, I like to talk to smart people, be straightforward, and don't beat around the bush." I want you to do something for me, and only you can help me with this. There is only a certain danger, and I must personally confirm that you are up to the task. Speaking of this, he spread his hands and said, "Obviously, you are much more powerful than I imagined, and you have enough strength to help me." ”
Pei Min was even more dazed when he heard this, he searched through the memories in his mind, and determined that this was the first time he had met Xue Ne, and he really couldn't imagine that two people who had never been in contact at all would have any intersection, and they could help Xue Ne, and only he could help.
Xue Ne's eyes fell on the "Zhou Yixin Note on the Original Meaning" on the side, and he suddenly became interested, and said, "You know the art of war?" ”
Pei Min shook his head and said, "I don't understand, just take a look." The general is the object of my admiration, and the books he writes, even if I can't read them, must be supported. ”
Xue Ne laughed: "Then I'll test you!" He opened the locked drawer on the bookcase, took out a manuscript from it, threw it to Pei Min far away, and said, "Look at it, can you see anything?" ”
Pei Min took the manuscript and read it carefully: the manuscript turned out to be a marching record: it recorded the detailed movements of the former Youzhou Governor Sun Yan, from the preparation before the expedition, to the expedition to the defeat of the enemy, the 100,000 army was wiped out, and the record was clear. In this bloody war, 100,000 athletes disappeared because of an incompetent commander. The cruelty of war is vividly reflected in this thin sheet of paper.
"Damn!" Pei Min thought of the situation in Huairou County and couldn't help but snort.
Xue Ne also said with a solemn face: "Things have happened, and anger can't change the facts." Calm down and take a closer look. ”
Pei Min nodded to Xue Ne, calmed down, looked at it again, and still didn't find anything, seeing that Xue Ne was not in a hurry, he looked at the march record seriously, scrutinizing it word by word, and read it several times, and suddenly had a strange feeling in his mind, as if something was wrong, and suddenly remembered the content about intelligence in the Art of War he had just read.
Xue Rengui emphasized in the military book that intelligence comes first, and prediction and estimation are things that must be done as a last resort.
Thinking of this, his gaze fell on the middle part of the manuscript:
On June 13 of the first year of Yanhe, he led Zuo Xiaowei general Li Kailuo and Zuo Weiwei general Zhou Yiyi to attack Xi and Khitan in three ways.
On the 16th, Sun Yan ordered Li Kailuo to lead 4,000 cavalry as the vanguard, and led the main force to follow and march north.
On the 22nd, Li Dayu led 8,000 cavalry to meet the forward troops of the Tang Army in the Lengcheng area and defeated the Tang Army in one fell swoop.
On the 24th, Sun Yan heard that Li Kailuo's army was defeated, and he did not dare to enter the army, so he led his troops to retreat. At night, Li Dayu attacked the Tang camp at night and broke the Tang army.
On the 25th, Sun Yan formed a phalanx in the mountains in order to consolidate himself, and more than 10,000 pieces of silk and purple robes and gold belts among the generals were given to Li Dayu to sue for peace, and Li Dayu promised to withdraw the army.
On the 27th, when the Tang army was retreating, Li Dayu suddenly launched an attack, broke the Tang cavalry, and annihilated all the Tang cavalry.
On the 28th, Li Kailuo's troops were attacked and the whole army was annihilated.
On the 29th, the Ukoli army was attacked and the whole army was annihilated.
On the 30th, Zhou Yiyi's troops were attacked and the whole army was annihilated.
On 1 July, Sun Yan's troops were attacked and the entire army was annihilated.
"It can't be!" Pei Min Huoran got up and said, "Does the Metropolitan Governor have a map?" ”
Xue Ne took out a sheepskin map from the drawer and spread it on the table, the map marked the topography of Liaodong in detail, even if Pei Min was a rookie, he could understand where the mountains and streams were, and where the plains and wide lands were.
