Chapter 1741 The sharp dagger
Thirty miles west of Shuoquan City, although it was late at night, there were shouts and murderous aura.
The war drums rumbled, the horns were deserted, and more than a dozen square formations were on the empty land, advancing and retreating in an orderly manner. During the push, the steps were neat and fierce. The formations of each team were fast and slow, fast but not chaotic, slow but not stagnant, fast as if the sea was overwhelming, while the slow one was like a mountain of tai.
The spearmen, shield soldiers and archers mixed together. The troops seemed to be chaotic, but they were obviously orderly. Although the cooperation was still unfamiliar, the teams were able to strictly follow the orders of the flags while the flags were waving.
On a hillside not far away, Pei Ji carried his hands on his back, looked solemnly, looking down from a high place, and from time to time he ordered the flag leader beside him to perform the formation.
A fast horse rushed over and arrived at the hillside, rolled down and climbed up the hillside. A guard had already stepped forward to stop him. The man took out a letter from his arms and handed it on both hands. The guard took the letter, turned around and came to De Pei Ji's side and handed it onto the letter.
Pei Ji took the letter and opened it. A guard next to him was holding a torch and approaching. Pei Ji glanced at him a few times and his eyebrows were locked.
"General, what happened?" Beside Pei Ji, the fat Liu, wearing armor, couldn't help but ask.
After coming to Xishan to Northwest Toutiao and Chu Huan, Pang Liu and Wang Han have been promoted step by step. Now they also hold important positions in the Zhenxi Army. The Northwest Cavalry Corps, with Xu Shao as the chief general, are now stationed in the Qingyuan Horse Farm, rebuilt the horse farm, train cavalry, and conduct military garrisons near the horse farm. Pang Liu and Wang Han and others are accompanying Pei Ji in the infantry camp, practicing day and night.
Pei Ji put away the letter and said, "There was an accident in Jiazhou, and Xuanyuan Sheng asked me to go to Jiazhou."
"Go to Kezhou?" Wang Han frowned and said, "General, the last general dared to say frankly that now that the governor of Chu is not here, the general is in charge of Shuoquan. Shuoquan is the heart of the northwest. It is important that Xuanyuan Sheng cannot not understand this truth even if there is a change in Kezhou, he can only come to pay homage to the general. How can he let the general leave Shuoquan?"
Pei Ji smiled and said, "The trouble Xuanyuan Shengcai encountered made him dare not leave easily."
"Oh?" Fat Liu Qi said: "General, what happened to the Matsushima? I want the general to take action in person?"
"Lu Cunxiao may be rebelling." Pei Ji said: "In the letter, Xuanyuan Shengcai said that Lu Cunxiao has been in a strange way recently and has privately interacted with some unknown people. Xuanyuan Shengcai secretly arrested a person who had a secret relationship with Lu Cunxiao. When interrogation, he found out that this person was a fish that slipped through the net from Hulu Village!"
"The fish that slipped through the net in Hulu Village?" Fat Liu sneered: "Is it related to that General Qiu?"
Although Chu Huan led his troops to wipe out Hulu Village and conquered the remains of Hulu Village headed by Lu Cunxiao, General Qiu escaped from the chaos and had no news.
Pang Liu naturally thought about whether General Qiu was thief-hearted and intended to make a comeback, so he sent someone to secretly contact Lu Cunxiao.
Wang Han frowned and said, "General, although Lu Cunxiao is a bandit, he is also loyal and righteous. Since he has been under the command of the Chu governor, if he says he will rebel again at this time, he must also consider this carefully."
"Old Wang, Lu Cunxiao has followed General Qiu for many years. He used to be a capable general under General Qiu." Pang Liu said: "If it were someone else, he might not be able to tell him, but if General Qiu was really rekindled, it is hard to guarantee that Lu Cunxiao would not be moved by General Qiu!" He raised his hand and touched Pang Pang chin, "And this was a letter written by General Xuanyuan. He had caught the person he had met with Lu Cunxiao, so there would be no false?"
Wang Han frowned, his lips moved slightly, but he didn't say anything.
Pei Ji saw it and asked with a smile: "Wang Han, what do you have to say, but it's okay to say it."
Wang Han hesitated for a moment and finally said, "General, Xigu Pass is blocked. If nothing unexpected happens, of course it is the court's intention. It is the general coming from the northwest of us. Only then can Xuanyuan Sheng be a member of the Xuanyuan family. His cousin Xuanyuan Shao is even the commander of the Royal Guards. Xuanyuan family is loyal to Qin!" He said this, but he did not continue.
Fat Liu naturally did not calmly Wang Han, and couldn't help but say, "Old Wang, what you mean is that Xuanyuan Sheng is accusing Lu Cunxiao. It's not Lu Cunxiao who rebelled, but!"
Wang Han immediately stopped him: "Pang Liu, don't talk nonsense. Before there is evidence, no one can be sure who intends to rebel against the Chu governor. The northwest is not a solid piece. The general is in charge of the northwest, so he naturally has to think twice. If he wronged the good person, it will make the soldiers feel disappointed, but once someone really has a bad intention, he must prepare early."
Pei Ji smiled and said, "Wang Han said it well before there was no evidence, no one was treasonous."
"General, what are you going to do?" asked Fat Liu, "Isn't you really going to Massachusetts?"
Pei Ji said: "Why not go? Since there is a change in Jiazhou, it is difficult to distinguish between loyalty and treason. Before leaving, the Chu Governor entrusted me with the major affairs of the Northwest. If I don't go, wouldn't I betray the Chu Governor?"
Fat Liu said anxiously: "General, you, don't be confused. Jiazhou is the place of Xuanyuan Shengcai. If the humble position means that if, if he really has evil thoughts, wouldn't you fall into the trap when you go?"
Although Pei Ji was strict in his military administration, he was very easy-going to the soldiers on weekdays. Pang Liu was straightforward and could not hold his words in his stomach. At this moment, he heard that Pei Ji was going to take risks to Kezhou and was very anxious.
Wang Han also advised: "General, what Fat Liu said is rough and not rough. Now that you are in the northwest, you must not make any mistakes. With the humble opinion, you can send someone to Mazhou to understand the situation first. Qiu Daxia is still in the city. Why don't you let Qiu Daxia go and go to Mazhou to find out the situation!"
At this moment, he heard the sound of horse hooves and the horse neighed. Several people looked over and saw that a fast horse had reached the bottom of the hillside. The man was wearing a hat and a black cloak, covering his body. Wang Han and Fat Willow both frowned. The man had turned over and got off the horse, stood under the hillside, and looked up slightly toward the hillside. The sky was drowsy. Although torches were lit on the hillside, Wang Han and others could not see the man's appearance for a while.
The man stood for a while, looked around again, and finally slowly walked up the hillside. Soon, a guard stepped forward and stopped him, but this time Pei Ji had already said loudly: "Let him come up!"
The guard did not hesitate to dodge aside and let the road open.
The man in the hat then accelerated his pace and walked to the hillside. Pei Ji slowly walked up to him. Because of the Tianshan Snow Lotus, his lame leg gave people a feeling of resurrection. Although he was still a little lame when walking, it was much smaller than before. If you don’t look closely, it would be difficult to tell that he was a lame man.
