Chapter 287: The Past
"Fei, you can pay more attention to what you say, after all, the second prince is still there, if he listens to it, I'm afraid I will be unhappy. After all, no matter what the second prince says, he was also sent by the current emperor. ”
The other general also responded, looked at Lu Fei and said: "You kid, sometimes your temperament is too straight, today in front of the second prince to say how good the sixth prince is, doesn't this make the second prince lose face?" You, it's better to be careful, these two princes look good at talking, but I don't know what he thinks in his heart. ”
Lu Fei glanced at the few men on the opposite side who were condemning in their mouths, but with concern in their eyes, and sighed slightly, although he also knew that sometimes he didn't speak through his brain, and he might not know when he offended people. But with these brothers by his side, he was a little more relieved.
Who would have thought that these eight feet tall men who have been fighting on the battlefield on the frontier all year round would have such delicate thoughts? Moreover, their brains are not bad at all, not at all like those so-called warriors with well-developed limbs and simple minds.
However, being able to sit in the position of a general and command so many soldiers, how can a few of them be idle?
"No matter how much you say now, it's useless. The most important thing at the moment is to think about where the lost grain and grass went. Otherwise, after a while, it may really not be recovered. ”
The longer the time, the slimmer the chances of finding it, and how could a few of them not understand this truth.
"But today, when I look at these two princes, I don't seem to have a clue at all, if I want to find this grain and grass, I'm afraid it will be difficult."
"Hey, why do you have to criticize the second prince too much, he is not the sixth prince after all. Not everyone can be as reliable as the Six Princes at such a young age. ”
After the general finished speaking, Lu Fei swallowed the wine in his mouth, but looked at him in some surprise. He seemed to think of something, and then said with a smile: "These words really don't seem like what you General Meng Xiaomeng said. Who doesn't know that back then, the most unconvinced person you were the young Sixth Prince. ”
When several people next to him heard Lu Fei's words, they all seemed to recall the events of the past, and they all let out good-natured laughter.
The man who was replaced by Meng Xiao glared at Lu Fei helplessly, this stinky boy is really a pot that can't be opened. He was indeed very unconvinced by the Six Princes back then, but it wasn't because he didn't know how powerful the Six Princes were.
A few years ago, these generals were not generals. Although he is not yet a powerful general, he is many times higher than the status of a soldier, and he is already a deputy general who leads troops to fight.
At that time, who was not young and vigorous, was at the age of blood and strength, and at the age of twenty years, being able to come out and lead troops to fight and win glory for the country was already a great thing in itself.
At that time, the country was not as prosperous as it is now, and there were always many small countries that came to offend. They are guarding the frontier, and they have to fight every now and then on weekdays, which is almost a common thing.
Although they are often able to win battles, they are actually suffering from serious internal losses. At that time, the soldiers who left the country were far less than half of what they are now, not to mention that there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers now. At that time, they didn't know what training was at all.
Almost relying on brute force and righteousness, the route and some relatively simple tactics were discussed, and then he went directly to the battlefield. Before the appearance of the Six Princes, they never thought that there was anything wrong with them. What they advocate is force, as long as the martial arts are strong and lead the troops to fight, there is nothing to worry about.
However, as the internal attrition became more and more serious, the morale of the soldiers was also insufficient, and sometimes the slightest slack would be defeated by the enemy.
Therefore, several of their lieutenants often have large and small scars on their bodies, which they have long been accustomed to.
At that time, when Pei Tianyu received the news from the frontier, he finally realized that there were obviously many problems with such a layout and tactics. But at that time, as the lord of a country that left the country, it was inevitable that he would not personally go to the frontier to support, and the imperial city could not be without a king for a day.
Therefore, Pei Tianyu thought about it and directly sent his favorite sixth son to the battlefield.
At that time, Pei Xiu was also at an age when he was high-spirited and wanted to make contributions.
After his father gave an order, Pei Xiu agreed without saying a word, and before leaving, Pei Tianyu also specially set up a grand banquet for Pei Xiu to send him off.
Pei Xiu, as a member of the Heavenly Departure Country, naturally hoped to do his part to serve the entire country when he learned that there was a problem in the frontier.
At that time, Pei Xiu was only sixteen or seventeen years old.
When they heard that the emperor had sent people from the imperial city to assist, several lieutenants were dissatisfied at first. They know that they have some problems to a greater or lesser extent, and they admit that sometimes the methods of fighting are really wrong.
However, when Pei Xiu appeared in front of them, the opinions in their hearts were even greater.
They are not smart enough, but the emperor actually sent a hairy boy over, even if it is the sixth prince, looking at his appearance, maybe the hair has not grown, how can it be possible to teach them a few men who are already in their twenties?
It is simply impossible to convince Qi. Not only Meng Xiao at that time, but Lu Fei and the others were more or less resentful in their hearts.
They are working so hard to leave the country for the sake of heaven, but now the emperor is so humiliating them? If it was heard by those soldiers, their dignified lieutenant general would actually have to be taught a lesson by a hairy boy. At that time, where should the faces of their big men go? Although this hairy boy is indeed very handsome, which makes several of them a little stunned, but he has a face and no ability, what's the use?
But even if a few people are unhappy, Pei Xiu has already arrived at the border, and the identity of the people is there. Even if they are dissatisfied, they can only scold a few words behind their backs.
At that time, Pei Xiu's temper was not as polite and friendly as Pei Qian today.
When he learned about the policy of several people to fight on weekdays, he immediately pointed out several loopholes mercilessly.
After Meng Xiao heard it at that time, the first one was not happy. Because a large part of these combat methods were figured out by himself, he knew that there were some problems in them, but when Pei Xiu pointed them out mercilessly, he only felt that his face was gloomy.
Therefore, Meng Xiao couldn't control his emotions at that time, and directly counterattacked Pei Xiu at that time.
"Your Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, your subordinates also know that there are loopholes in these methods of your subordinates, but how to solve this, please ask the Six Princes for careful guidance."
Meng Xiao's words were very polite, and his expression was also arrogant.
In his eyes, he, a man in his twenties who led troops to fight all year round, couldn't think of a solution, and this sixth prince, who had never been on the battlefield and maybe had never killed anyone, could come up with a solution.
Several lieutenant generals felt that they had been tricked by the current emperor.
Pei Xiu was not angry at Meng Xiao's provocation, as well as the obviously unconvinced eyes of several other lieutenants. Moreover, his eyes did not change in the slightest.
"This method of yours will only make it easier for the enemy in the rear to attack it. As soon as the rear is lost, the loopholes in front will also be exposed. When the time comes, it's not just as simple as losing a part of the soldiers, you're likely to lose the entire team. As a lieutenant general, don't you know that soldiers are the key to fighting? If the soldiers are gone, no matter how great your brute strength is, you can't match the thousands of troops and horses of others. Such a simple truth, a few lieutenants, must be clearer than Xiu, right? ”
Pei Xiu's words were also ruthless, so that several lieutenants listened to it, and their faces couldn't hold it anymore.
Lu Fei glanced at Meng Xiao next to him with an aggrieved look, and felt unhappy for his brother in his heart, he couldn't help but take a step forward, and did not salute, and said a little unceremoniously: "The shortcomings pointed out by the six princes are not unthinkable to their subordinates. Since the Six Princes can perceive these problems, they must have their own set of solutions? ”
Pei Xiu looked at the expressions of several lieutenant generals, and he knew very well that if he couldn't give some acceptable methods today, they wouldn't be convinced at all.
Pei Xiu pointed to the topographic map in front of him and said lightly: "If I were you, I wouldn't have chosen to ambush this place in the first place. This place is indeed a fortress for the enemy army, and if you are lucky, you can destroy them all with one fell swoop. But—"
Pei Xiu paused and continued: "Look at the terrain next to you, it is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and there is almost only this way out, if the enemy army knows that we are ambushed here, they will prepare in advance before we ambush. At that time, after our men have laid an ambush, the enemy only needs to set a fire down on the nearby hill, and then you can probably imagine the consequences. ”
Pei Xiu's words were extremely calm, but they hit the nail on the head everywhere.
Several lieutenants looked at the place where his slender fingers were pointing, and they couldn't help but be secretly frightened. At this moment, they couldn't care about Pei Xiu's attitude, and they all gathered around the map, looking at the marks drawn on it.
After all, several lieutenant generals led troops to fight, and no one was a fool, and when they realized that the terrain did have a big problem for them, they began to face the whole plan again.
At the same time, they were only now beginning to face up to the man in front of them, who was only sixteen years old, or rather, a teenager.
