"Immortal Mountain? The things in the rivers and lakes, it should have nothing to do with the imperial court, my nephew is a little playful, otherwise in the Kong family, the third generation of this group of children, Miao Zhi dominates. The national teacher looked at Du Jie, then at Peng Xianzuo, shook his head and said

Peng Xianzuo saw that the two were chatting about the same, and took the words: "Master Kong, my Northwest Army has the duty of garrisoning, and it must not be mobilized without the order of the Holy Lord." National teacher, don't be embarrassed for me. If tomorrow the Divine Decree comes, I will gather my troops and let you take it with you. ”

The national teacher smiled bitterly and nodded: "I know that my request is a bit excessive, Marshal Wu has already gone to the imperial capital to ask for a decree, I will bother here for a few days, wait for the holy decree." ”

Marshal Peng naturally had no opinions, and a few people exchanged a few more pleasantries, and the national teacher left the big tent with the three generals.

After the four of them left, the big tent suddenly boiled like a pot

"Marshal, you must not lend them troops."

"The little emperor borrowed troops is fake, and it is true to cut your military power, if you borrow it, I am afraid that there will be no return for borrowing."

"I don't know if the Tatars want to offend my border or not, and I can't listen to them."

…………

A few hot-tempered generals finally couldn't help it, and in front of their own families, they said their thoughts noisily.

Peng Xian waved his hand to the left to silence them, and then called someone: "Bring up the map!" ”

The map was picked up, and everyone gathered around

Peng Xian pointed to the remnants of the Yanshan Mountain Range and crossed a line towards the west

"When the Tatars invaded the Central Plains, there were only two ways to go, one was to attack from the remaining veins of Yanshan, and there were two choke points near there. Shujun City and Lanyan Castle. There is no danger to defend other places. More than half of the northern army is gathered here, and this place should not be breached in a short time. Peng Xian said as he pointed at the map

"The other way is to detour through the desert in the northwest, and from the edge of the desert diagonally into the east of Yongzhou, which is far away from the Central Plains. Unless they travel thousands of miles, the imperial court will definitely have time to react. ”

Peng Xianzuo pointed to the other side of the map

Du Jie also looked at the map, secretly thinking about Peng Xianzuo's words. These two roads were the common routes used by the steppe nomads to invade the Central Plains in the past dynasties. If the army is not slackening. The steppe people should not have any chance.

Peng Xianzuo frowned when he saw Du Jie looking at the map, and patted him with his hand

"Du Jie, if you were the lord of the grassland, which path would you choose?"

Du Jie looked carefully from left to right, and from right to left for a long time, and finally said unhurriedly:

"Uncle Peng, you're right, these two roads are the two most efficient roads. Attacking from the remaining veins of Yanshan, as long as Nujun City and Lanyan Fort are taken, and then a horse to the south, Pingchuan, the imperial court will no longer be in danger to defend. If it is inserted diagonally from the edge of the desert east of Yongzhou, it can take a detour north of Sichuan and Shu to avoid most of the imperial court's troops. But ......"

Peng Xianzuo smiled: "But what? ”

"But if I am a marshal, I will take people from Yanshan all the way to the east, detour to the Changhai Customs, as long as I pass the Changhai Customs, and go straight to the imperial capital. Controlling the imperial capital, the imperial court will inevitably be scattered. ”

"Long customs? This place is impregnable, and it can't be broken without three years and five years. Little Jiezi, you little head, it's okay to be a pioneer, but it's still far from being a marshal. ”

An old general with white hair next to him looked at the map, shook his head and said

"Grandpa Jia, that's right. But there are clouds in the soldiers, and the virtual is real, and the real is virtual. Those two roads are the lessons of several dynasties, and our dynasty has made new arrangements to prevent rebellion in the grasslands. If it is a surprise attack on the long customs, if it receives an effect, it can directly determine the victory or defeat. ”

After Du Jie finished speaking, everyone began to talk about it.

"Your way of fighting, the first battle is a decisive battle, it is impossible for our dynasty to give up the Changhai Pass, if the grassland captures there, it will definitely be taken within two days, if it is waiting for the imperial capital to react, they will not have any other chance."

"That's right, a decisive battle is a taboo for soldiers, unless it is a last resort, the two sides will never directly fight a decisive battle of life and death."

Basically, all the generals disagreed with Du Jie's opinion, Du Jie knew that these people were more experienced than himself, and he originally thought that it was definitely not right to think this way, but when he saw Changhaiguan, he didn't know how to feel that this place was really suitable for surprise attacks.

Peng Xianzuo said to the generals: "Okay, let's talk about this today, go back to the camp first, pass my order, put the wine in an hour, and I will wash the dust for Wu'an Gong." ”

"Yes!"

After waiting for everyone to go out, Peng Xianzuo sighed and complained to Du Jie

"I knew that I shouldn't have listened to your grandfather, so I threw this hard job to me, and hid in Jiangnan to enjoy Qingfu."

After hearing this, Du Jie was a little confused and asked, "What does Uncle Peng mean?" I didn't get it. ”

Peng Xianzuo asked Du Jie to sit down, looked around the map and said, "When the little emperor sent someone to be a marshal in the army, your grandfather used a trick to drive everyone away. The little emperor knows that it is your grandfather's meaning, and there is no way. In the end, he only asked your grandfather not to lead the Northwest Army. Your grandfather naturally knows it, but he knows better the ending of the bird's exhaustion. Your grandfather finally recommended a few people, and everyone else recommended them very much, but I was the only one who simply said a few words, so that the little emperor mistakenly thought that I was just a Confucian student. In the end, I became the marshal of the Northwest. ”

Peng Xianzuo looked at the direction of the Yanshan Mountain Range and continued: "Our Northwest Army and the Little Emperor are separated from Germany, and sooner or later there will be chaos. Du Jie, what kind of character this national teacher is, do you understand? ”

"Do you mean a national teacher?" Du Jie went through the information in his head

"This person is the son of the Dragon Junshi, and I heard from our sixth brother that this person is the only think tank among the second generation of the Confucian family. I just went to the imperial capital a few days ago to be loyal to the little emperor, what's the matter, is there anything wrong with this person? ”

Peng Xianzuo shook his head: "I can't see through this person, he is different from us." This man is too heavy-minded, and he seems to be well-behaved, but I can see from his eyes that this person does not follow the rules at all. If this person is a friend, it is fine, but if it is an enemy, it will definitely be a headache. However, most of them will become enemies, after all, he is the person of the little emperor. ”

Du Jie didn't understand why Peng Xianzuo thought so, and Peng Xianzuo didn't want to explain, so he withdrew his gaze from the map and put it on Du Jie anew

"By the way, Jie'er, you've been here for so long, I haven't asked you yet, is there anything wrong with coming all the way to the northwest?"

Du Jie smiled: "Uncle Peng, it's not like I haven't seen you for a few days, I miss you." I came to the northwest just to take a look at you. ”

Peng Xianzuo saw that he was not telling the truth, and scolded with a smile: "Little slippery head, I know how many intestines you have in your stomach, don't talk nonsense, hurry up." If you don't ask, I'm not going to tell you a word after that. ”

"Don't, don't...... Uncle Peng, you still have the same knowledge as me. Du Jie couldn't hide it, and hurriedly told him the news he got in Tianjimen, and the purpose of the little emperor sending him to the northwest, and finally Du Jie asked Peng Xianzuo

At the end, Du Jie asked, "Uncle Peng, did the troops go to Bulao Mountain some time ago?" ”

Peng Xianzuo shook his head and replied affirmatively, "Immortal Mountain? Haven't been. That place is also a short distance from here, and it is close to the Central Plains, and without orders, the army will not easily run around. ”

When Du Jie saw Peng Xianzuo say this, he suddenly couldn't figure it out, "That's strange, is the senior brother wrong?" ”

However, Peng Xianzuo seemed to have figured it out: "But what you said just now made me understand one thing." ”

"What's the matter?" Du Jie asked with some curiosity

"I think I seem to know the purpose of the national teacher's coming here." Peng Xian said as he stared at the map with burning eyes on his left side

And in another tent not far from the big tent, the national teacher and the three generals sat in it,

Seeing that the three of them were silent, the national teacher smiled and said to the three:

"Three generals, Wu'an Gong has a childish temper, the general can run a horse in front of his forehead, and there are a lot of adults, so forget it."

The three of them were secretly angry, knowing that they didn't have anything to do.

Niu Yuanzheng said to the national teacher: "My brothers naturally don't care, but this son is also a little disrespectful to the national teacher, which makes people angry. ”

"Haha." When the national teacher saw him say this, he laughed: "General, this is a big mistake. ”

"What does this mean, national teacher?"

"Several, what are we doing in this bitter cold place in the northwest?"

"Aren't you here to transfer troops?" Niu Yuanzheng said with some confusion

"Yes and no. The soldiers in the northwest can't be easily transferred, and the purpose of our coming here is not to transfer troops. ”

"Not a troop transfer? Let's ...... then."

The national teacher smiled mysteriously: "It's to let Xiao Du Gong have no soldiers to adjust." ”

Niu Yuanzheng was a little puzzled, and the national teacher didn't explain, but he put away the smile on his face and muttered to himself

"There is only a little left now, why did Wu Angong come to the barracks so early."

Niu Yuanzheng looked at each other and said to the national teacher: "National teacher, he came to the military camp just to transfer troops, is it difficult that he is still here to reminisce about the past?" ”

The national teacher shook his head: "He didn't come to borrow troops, he just came to the northwest, the matter is unclear, there is no need to transfer troops at all, is there something that needs the cooperation of the army?" ”

"No, he's not here to transfer troops, he's here for what? It's not here to transfer troops, it's to gather intelligence? Or is it something else? If intelligence is gathered, what information will be in the barracks? The national teacher said to himself while thinking

"Intelligence! Information! By the way, that's it......" The three generals were about to ask what it was, when the national teacher came back to his senses and said to the three of them:

"There is something I need to ask the three of you, I need to look at the dispatch of the Northwest Battalion in the past month, please find a way to check it."

"It's not a difficult thing, as long as you ask the manager of the army, you will definitely find out, the national teacher is waiting for me here."

The three of them knew that their heads were not as good as the national teacher, and they didn't ask in detail, but when they heard the national teacher's instructions, they immediately agreed. Hurried out.

After waiting for the three of them to leave, the national teacher sat down again, tapping his fingers on the table without listening

"If that's the case, it's an opportunity. If this is not the case, then it is wonderful, you can be regarded as completely hiding from your second uncle. ”
