Luoshui Dongliu

Pei Yu was riding on a horse, and the Xiyan army was lining up outside the camp. It was not yet full light at that time.A scout came to the horse and reported back: "The vanguard cavalry has moved out of camp."

Pei Yu nodded slightly and said to Yu Chiyuan: "I will go east with the Chinese army, and the general will sit behind."

Yu Chiyuan nodded to a sergeant and said: "This person is familiar with the geography of this place, and the supervising army is with him as a guide. When the time is right, he will light the cannon. I'm ready here."

Pei Yu said "very good" and knocked his feet on the stirrup, and a soldier was ordered to sing in a long voice: "The Chinese army is moving—"

The guards hurriedly picked up their horses to follow Pei Yu, and several guards and generals rode their horses to follow the army.Pei Yu saw that the guiding sergeant was also following him, glanced at him and asked indifferently, "Are you from the local area?"

The guide said: "The villain grew up in Chenggao when he was young." Hearing Pei Yu's "Oh?", he said again: "I don't know if the supervising army knows that more than ten miles east of Sishui Pass is the battle between Han Gaozu and the Chu Overlord. The old city of Han Chenggao."

When the Chu and Han dynasties were fighting, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu fought fiercely here.In the end, Han Gaozu wisely mobilized Chenggao's defender Cao Jiu to leave the city and seize Guancheng.From then on, occupy this place and deal with the Chu army until they gain the world.

Pei Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, but before answering, he said in his heart: "That's right, Xiang Yu wants to take Chenggao and Xingyang and seize Sishui, and get Luocheng from Sishui, then he can go out of Hangu Pass and go straight to the middle of the pass. I can't do it, and he lost the world in the end. I came this way but went in the opposite direction. After entering Hangu Pass and looking at the Central Plains, I knew that the world was open. After taking this area of ​​Luocheng, the gate of Guanzhong has an east barrier From now on, the Gao family in Yecheng will no longer dominate the world."

Yuchi Fuji also saw this step, so he spared no expense and was determined to capture Los Angeles.Before Pei Yu left from Xijing, the Yuchi clan had given him the power to act cheaply and kill first and act later, and he was also asked to take on this important matter with all his strength.Pei Yu secretly clenched the reins tightly, his mind as cold as iron.

Zhao Shen led his troops to and fro in the middle of the night, just after choosing a place to camp and stabilize the team, he heard an urgent report from the scouts: "The Xiyan army has arrived."

Yuan Gui smiled and said, "It's too soon."

Zhao Shen couldn't help but sneered slightly, and asked again: "Where are you? How many people? Cavalry or infantry?"

The scout said: "The vanguard of more than 200 cavalry, followed by the infantry, has been stopped by the heavy ambush ten miles away. The infantry has follow-up, how many people have come, we have to investigate again."

Zhao Shen said: "Go ahead." Turning his head to the generals beside him, he said, "I don't think there is any need to wait for anyone to report." Shan Xiang Du Rong said: "General Du and half of the troops are here to stabilize the position. I will be a backup when I need it, and the rest of the brothers will follow me to greet the distant guests."

At that moment, the cavalry formed a formation, formed into a conical formation in groups of three, and took care of each other. They only watched the flags waved in the front line, and all the soldiers put on their armor and urged their horses to go west.

These [-] or [-] cavalry troops were galloping all the way, seeing that there was an open area ahead, Zhao Shenzheng said: "The terrain here is open, the horses are easy to use, and it is very good to meet the enemy." Seeing Zhao Shen, he said: "General, the Xiyan army has arrived."

Zhao Shen asked: "How?"

The general said: "I followed the general's order and waited for an ambush ahead. When I saw the enemy army, I tied the branches with horsetails and raised dust on the sides of the road. I wanted to wait for them to be confused and hesitate to go forward before attacking. Unexpectedly, the opposite side The leader of the army was not fooled, I saw that there was too much difference between the enemy and us, so I withdrew first."

Zhao Shen was slightly surprised when he heard this, and said to himself: "Who is this, I have some discernment." Then he said, "It's okay, you put in the queue, and we will meet him for a while."

At this time, Pei Yu had led dozens of people around him to a high ground, and in front of him was the battlefield where the two armies were confronting each other.The formation of the Xiyan army was neat, with a row of shield armor in the front row, covering the rear formation.A general at the side said: "General Min Yu sent someone to report, the queue has been lined up, please rest assured."

Pei Yu saw that both sides were in the same position, nodded slightly, and only watched intently without speaking.

He originally wanted to make a surprise attack, but halfway saw that Zhao Shen had already set up a defensive line.This is not unexpected, taking advantage of the chaos to sneak attack is the profession of the cavalry, Zhao Shenbi is always on guard against teaching others how to fight back against him.If this blow failed, they settled down and waited for the two armies to confront each other head-on.

I saw that the two armies moved slowly, and the hatchback moved a little closer. The two armies were only facing each other for less than a mile, and there was no movement.

Suddenly, dozens of cavalrymen from the Eastern Yan Army rushed out of the formation and went straight to the flank of the Western Yan Army.In the blink of an eye, he has already reached the front of the formation.Such a lightning-quick speed, it can be said that everyone on the high ground has only seen it today, not to mention that the charge formation is still rigorous and undisturbed during the rapid maneuver; for a moment, a general gasped, but Pei Yu didn't move at all, his eyes were like torches.

At present, the Xiyan army didn't seem to be panicked, instead they opened a passage and let the team of troops into the formation.Then the formation changed, and more than a hundred cavalry suddenly flashed out from behind the infantry to intercept, encircling Dongyan's men and horses who were charging into the formation.Pei Yu laughed lightly and said, "It seems that Zhao Shenqing's trick of chaotically chasing the enemy's position will not work this time." Seeing the Xiyan army in the formation swarming up, and arrows flying all around, the situation turned sharply.

However, Zhao Shen led the army to charge forward, but suddenly a cavalry army several times larger than his own flashed in front of him, and he immediately understood that the opponent was already prepared.He lured the enemy alone, and he has seen many dangerous situations, so he didn't panic at this time, instead, Yuangui sneered and said: "I'll have to check who is fighting today, I really have some winks."

Yuan Gui Hengqiang shouted: "Whoever he is, he's just average." Before he could finish his words, the Xiyan army had already surrounded and rushed to the front.Seeing that Zhao Shen was already fighting hand to hand, he drew a straight knife from under the horse's flank, the blade gleamed coldly in the sunlight.

Although the cavalry of both sides were lightly armed and the Xiyan army was large in number, the combat strength of the two sides could be compared as soon as they confronted each other.At that time, the most common cavalry in the world were heavy armored cavalry, and the elite cavalry of the Xiyan Army were also good at it.This heavy armored cavalry is strong because of its strong armor, and it is difficult for infantry to stop it if they encounter it.As soon as the bright light armor came out in the formation, the might of the mighty army made the enemy terrified.In today's world, probably only the Zhao family's cavalry are doing the opposite. Not only the horses don't wear armor, but the cavalry officers and soldiers don't pay attention to heavy armor either; sharp.

The Los Angeles cavalry was built by General Zhao Yan in the reign of Taizu of this dynasty.When Zhao Yanchu built this cavalry, he never wanted to be ingenious. It's just that the heavy armor is heavy, and a tall and strong horse is needed to bear the weight of the iron mountain. Moreover, the forging and maintenance of the armor is expensive. It is not easy to maintain such a team with Zhao Yan's family background at that time.The team that was barely put together at first is often smashed to pieces as soon as they fight against others.However, it was in the embarrassment of being chased and fled in the early years that Zhao Yan realized the way to defeat the enemy quickly.From then on, he simply abandoned the heavy armor and switched to the cleverness of mobility.

The training of the cavalry is far more difficult than that of the infantry.After Emperor Wen of the previous dynasty moved his capital, he underestimated the old customs of riding and archery because he emphasized the education of the Central Plains. The cavalry has not been strictly trained for many years. During the battle, some people often do not hold their horses because they are frightened and tremble. It is not uncommon for them to tremble before the battle. .The Zhao family's cavalry, after four generations of management, has become more and more proficient in individual soldiers and tactics. Even if the horses "cross the sky, climb hills, take risks, overcome great swamps, ride powerful enemies, and disrupt the masses", they all sit still. On it, neither upside down nor upside down, swaying and shooting as usual.Against the heavy cavalry, he was not afraid at all and gained the upper hand.This is easy to say, but it is actually the painstaking efforts of several times over the past few decades.

It is rare for outsiders to learn how the Zhao family trains cavalry, so it is almost impossible for anyone in the world to build a cavalry army to fight against it.Heavy armored cavalry Jin Gui and Yu Chiyuan came to fight Sishui at such a critical moment, but they were not willing to bring them out.The light cavalry who came here with the team were rather infantry on horseback: the soldiers felt exhausted after fighting the enemy on horseback for a long time, and when they were in a hurry, they jumped off their horses to fight on foot.

In fact, as soon as the two sides fought, Zhao Shen saw this clue, so even though he was besieged, he knew what to do.He slashed, stabbed and killed, and someone in the army was watching him within a stone's throw away.The man reached out to take off the bow and arrow, raised his hand and aimed at Qing Zhui's forehead and shot an arrow.The distance is also far away, Zhao Shen didn't realize it at the time, but the war horse has supernatural powers and spirituality, it seemed to sense something different, it only twisted its neck violently.When the long arrow arrived in a blink of an eye, the horse's head was deflected a few inches to avoid it, but one of its ears was pierced across.

The war horse was in pain, and with a long hiss, it suddenly raised its front hooves, and it was about to throw Zhao Shen to the ground.The Xiyan army around shouted and shouted, waiting for the enemy general to fall to the ground, they can rush up and capture him alive.Unexpectedly, seeing that the horseman was about to fall to the ground, he saw his foot stepping down in the stirrup, pulling up the rein, and poking the ground with a straight knife in one hand, and the half body of the fallen horse immediately bounced up, stable and stable. Step back right away.

When the archer in the distance saw it, he blurted out the word "good", and couldn't help laughing: "I just didn't want to be kind to women, so I should just shoot him down with one arrow."

Just now Yuan Gui saw Zhao Shen falling off his horse, he was very anxious, he yelled and swung his lance to overturn two galloping horses blocking the way, it was not a problem to see Zhao Shen nearby, he said: "These people are like locusts, rushing straight up. "

Zhao Shen said in a loud voice, "Form up", and said to Yuangui, "The arrow just now has a reason, so I only went in that direction, and their formation will be messed up." In a short time, dozens of people have regrouped and lined up, and they have won the general order , and no matter how the surroundings were besieged, they only rushed to one side.

Sure enough, the formation of the Xiyan army was slightly loose. At this time, the Dongyan army on the opposite side saw this, and then stepped forward.Seeing the turmoil in the formation and attacks on the outside, the situation seems to be going badly.Pei Yu was watching the battle from a high place, so he couldn't help leaning forward.However, the soldiers in the front line of the Xiyan army seemed to be ignorant of foreign affairs, all cast iron roots took root under their feet, and they did not move a muscle.When the Dongyan cavalry came close, they suddenly raised the hidden halberds. The Dongyan soldiers rushing ahead were caught off guard, and they were stabbed down with their horses. See advance and retreat.It's just that Zhao Shen and his party took advantage of this opportunity to rush out of the battle formation, and the Dongyan army took advantage of the situation to retreat.They organized their teams twice, and both retreated half a mile.

After all this tossing, the sun has gradually risen.Zhao Shen saw a banner with the word "Min" unfurled by the Xiyan army, and asked both sides, "Who is this?"

Someone said: "It's Yu Chiyuan's Min Yu."

Zhao Shen was still pinching Qingzhui's ear, seeing that the blood had congealed, he let go.A general at the side said: "I charged just now and lost several brothers."

It is not easy for this cavalry to train, even if one is lost, the general feels distressed.Zhao Shen said in a deep voice: "I underestimated the enemy just now, now that the enemy is known to be cunning, you need to be cautious." He ordered for a while: "When attacking again, the front and sides with long halberds will block and block, so be extra careful The infantry hurts the horse's legs. The distance between the formations should not be too close, and when they break through, they only attack one point repeatedly, and do not disperse." If the order is set, the formation has also been formed.

All the generals were annoyed at the setback of the attack just now, and now they strike again, with even more violent momentum.When the forward touched the enemy's defense line, it quickly tore open, and the rear team swarmed in.But after that, even if the Xiyan army was dispersed, they could regroup in a short while.The soldiers are in their own positions, even the infantry is not afraid of the cavalry, and they will not retreat.Although the Eastern Yan cavalry army was fierce, their number was much smaller than that of the Western Yan army, and they lacked infantry to keep up.Since it is impossible to break through the enemy's formation, if they are afraid of being divided and surrounded, they can only retreat in groups.

This happened twice, Zhao Shen couldn't help being surprised.It was the first case that the Zhao family's cavalry were able to hold their ground in front of their charge without ever fighting.Everyone understands the truth of one effort, then decline, and three exhaustions, and all the generals can't help but get anxious.Seeing this, Zhao Shen felt anxious, but his expression remained calm.At this time, the sun turned to the west, the summer sky was long, and it would be dark in more than an hour.After fighting for a day, although his cavalry is exhausted, the Xiyan army will inevitably suffer more casualties. Such a continuous scuffle is no longer about tactical warfare. It only depends on who can manage the army well. , The formation is not chaotic.

Just thinking about it, he asked left and right: "Can you still fight?"

The generals saw his fierce expression, they also knew that today is the match against their opponents, with Zhao Shen's temper, they would never retreat in ambiguity.After fighting for a day, but there was no result, they were not reconciled in their hearts.They all said: "Can fight!"

Zhao Shen nodded and said: "There is one more chance before sunset. Although the Xiyan army is stubborn, after a day of training, the formation is not as complete as before, and there are many loopholes. We will pretend to withdraw the army first, and we will be defeated if we don't expect it. Stubborn enemy."

On the hill, Pei Yu saw someone from the Dongyan army yelling in front of the formation as if they were about to withdraw, but the rear team secretly re-formed, and said with a smile: "In this day, he has used soft and hard tricks all over the place. "

The general at the side asked: "The army must have been exhausted this day. I'm afraid that General Min will be fooled by negligence. Why don't you send someone to report to remind you?"

Pei Yu slightly raised his hand and said, "I don't think so. This day is enough to see that Min Yu's subordinates have a serious military appearance. If it is anticlimactic at this time, then I am really wrong."

Sure enough, seeing how the enemy cavalry rushed into each other in front of the formation, as if they were about to retreat, no one in the Xiyan army moved arbitrarily, and everyone was still waiting.In the end, the Dongyan army couldn't bear it at last, and they all raised their spears and rode their horses.

Pei Yu saw that Dongyan's army was getting impatient, so he nodded his hands and called the scouts: "Quickly send an order, tell Min Yu not to defend again, let them pass." "Give Yuchiyuan a signal cannon."

It turned out that he and Yuchi had already dispatched their troops and made a second move. At this time, the enemy army is at the end of its strength and is eager to win, so they must be negligent in guarding against it.The day before yesterday, because the enemy's situation was unclear, and to prevent the military situation from being leaked, this matter was only discussed and decided between him and Yu Chiyuan, and they were not informed to the public.Min Yu probably also thought that there was no barrier behind him, and it was a desperate fight, so he insisted on working hard.

Unexpectedly, after watching for a while, the scouts did not come back, and the fighting underneath became more and more inextricable, and there was no intention of letting the enemy go.Pei Yu frowned and said, "That's weird."

For a while, a few scouts were sent to pass the message, but it was the same.Pei Yu thought about it again, and couldn't help cursing: "Tamp the goods!" He raised his hand and called a general, untied his belt and handed him the tiger amulet, "Go yourself and tell Min Yu with this. An ambush was set up, and he resisted the order to prevent Zhao Shen from passing, so can he bear it if he misses something?"

But he said that the two armies on the battlefield had already formed a melee. Seeing that there was a critical opening somewhere in the Xiyan Army, which was about to cause the collapse of the defense line, but in a blink of an eye, the reserve echelon came from nowhere and blocked the gap.Zhao Shen also has never seen such a watertight opponent, he was about to send another order, suddenly saw a fire in the air from a distance, but it was several letter cannons.Zhao Shen's heart skipped a beat, suddenly he saw a banner flashing in the slanting thorn, revealing a young general who seemed to be looking at him too.I saw that person's handsome and delicate round face, with long eyebrows and fine eyes like a crescent moon, even though his eyes were red from the battlefield, he seemed to be smiling.Judging by the color of his armor, he should be the leading general here.Zhao Shen's expression froze, he raised his hand to pick up the bow and arrow, but saw the flag fluttering, and when he looked again, the person had disappeared.He guessed that it was the enemy general who had been wrestling with him for a day, and he felt a little bit of admiration in his heart. Now he is not depressed when he sees him slipping and falling under his hands, but he thinks to himself: "Such a character, one shot with one arrow Death is no fun."

At this moment, the formation of the Xiyan army dispersed, and several breakthrough paths could be seen.Several generals nearby couldn't help being overjoyed, and said one after another: "General, the enemy army has loosened!"

Zhao Shen reined in the horse's reins, raised his eyes to look again, and said loudly: "Don't worry, tell the troops not to move." Then he said, "The enemy army didn't see a retreat, it's really strange to suddenly give way to let us pass. "He saw the letter cannon flashing just now, and he felt it was a fraud.Seeing that the sky was getting dark, all the troops under his command were already exhausted after a day of fighting. Even though they rushed past the enemy line, the situation ahead was unclear, and there was no infantry behind them to keep up. The current battle situation does not have to be a risky advance alone.Although there were many unwillingnesses on this day, the enemy did not take advantage of it after all.After thinking for a moment, he said: "Since he has retreated, we will also withdraw first. Everyone, follow me to the rear and return to the camp."

It was night, when Min Yu led his army to settle down in the camp, he heard a report: "The supervising army is here to invite you."

Min Yu frowned and sighed to the guards beside him, "My trouble is coming."

The guard whispered: "I heard that Supervisor Pei has a bad temper..."

Seeing his worried face, Min Yu couldn't help smiling, and said: "It's not you who violated the order, but what are you doing with such a frown?" After thinking for a while, he said: "I took off the armor, and I will go and plead guilty by myself."

He had been fighting for a day, and his armor and shirt were covered with dust, so he immediately changed into the tent, wiped his face hastily, took only one guard, and went to Pei Yu's place.

When he entered the tent, he saw that the candles were very bright. After Pei Yuduan sat down at the desk, his expression seemed to be a smile but not a smile.Seeing this, Min Yu felt a little apprehensive, and hastily saluted solemnly.

Only Pei Yu said slowly: "Why did the general come dressed like this?"

Min Yu said: "Today I disobeyed the order without authorization and caused the enemy to escape. I will finally apologize."

Pei Yu saw that although he was making an apology, he was calm and sincere, so he nodded slightly.He didn't pick up the words, but he didn't ask him to get up, he just said: "Today your troops can stay undisturbed under repeated attacks by powerful enemies, that's very good."

Min Yu said: "It is General Yuchi who manages the army well in ordinary times, so that the generals can listen to orders and stay calm in times of crisis."

Pei Yu laughed and said, "So it's because I'm not effective, so my orders don't count?"

Min Yu heard that although his words were a joke, they contained murderous intentions, and hurriedly bowed again: "It is the last general who is guilty of violating orders."

Pei Yu saw that he only lowered his head. Although his tone was steady, fine sweat was already seeping from the corner of his forehead, and the candle shadow seemed to add a touch of brilliance to his smooth forehead.Then he said indifferently: "You said that General Yuchi has a good command of the army, what is it based on?"

Min Yu didn't know why the topic changed suddenly, and he brought up this again, and said calmly: "It depends on sharing joys and sorrows with the soldiers, and it also relies on justice to ensure that rewards and punishments are clear."

Pei Yu smiled and said, "Well said." Then he said, "Get up."

Min Yu heard that Pei Yu's tone had softened, and he wondered in his heart, could this be the end of the matter?In the midst of Nahan, I heard Pei Yu say again: "I saw Zhao's cavalry today, and they are well-known; and it is very rare for you to make it difficult for him to walk an inch if you hold each other for a day. This is merit." After a pause, his tone suddenly changed. : "But you disobeyed orders and didn't obey, what is your crime?"

Seeing him suddenly turn his face again, Min Yu was startled, but tried his best not to show any traces on his face, and said without hesitation, "Beheaded."

Pei Yu watched the battle today, and he admired this man in his heart. Seeing that although he was young, he already had the demeanor of a famous general, and he became more supportive, and said: "If you are guilty, you should be punished. That’s unnecessary. Speaking of generals who are outside, you should have your own opinion; you didn’t know about my calculations before, and disobedience is justifiable.”

Hearing what he said, Min Yu felt relieved, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Supervisor."

Pei Yu also smiled and said: "I haven't finished yet—although there are reasons for forgiveness, if everything in the army depends on reasons for reason, I don't have to do it as a military supervisor. Besides, you missed my business after all, and you will be punished by death." It has been paid, but the punishment cannot be avoided." After speaking, he said to both sides: "General Min violated the order and punished twenty army sticks."

Seeing that Min Yu's face froze and he frowned, he said sarcastically, "Why, the general just said that he was calm when he beheaded, but now he is just suffering from some beatings?" Seeing that he lowered his head again , I was really downcast, and I found it funny when I saw his attitude. I waved the idlers out and said, "Just fight in this tent. I have something to say after the fight."

The sergeants on both sides came up, Min Yu looked around, only sighed and fell down.The sergeants on both sides had already received hints from Pei Yu, besides, they were fighting at this time, and the generals were beaten so hard that they couldn't get up. Whoever went to the front of the battle to work hard, his subordinates were well-proportioned, and only used half of their strength.Unexpectedly, after only four or five blows, Min Yu yelled "Ouch". Pei Yu looked at the sergeant's action and it was obvious that he was letting water out.

When it hit more than a dozen sticks, the sound of pain was somewhat real.After the twenty army sticks were beaten, Pei Yu saw that Min Yu's hands and feet were already in a hurry, so he knew that his injuries were all right.

Suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help asking: "Who is Queen Min to you?"

Min Yu said, "It's my aunt."

Pei Yu smiled and said, "It's strange that Dao is so delicate." Seeing that Min Yu's face was flushed, he seemed a little shy, and said, "Do you feel so ashamed?"

Min Yu forced a smile and said, "Be punished according to the order, and don't do anything about face."

Pei Yu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "So you are yelling like this, are you deceiving me, I have never seen people being beaten by military sticks, and I don't know why?"

Min Yu said: "It's just that it hurts, so it's okay to be patient, but why bother."

Pei Yu said: "You know you won't suffer, but don't you know how to adapt on the battlefield?" Then he said, "I saw you shot an arrow at Zhao Shen in the daytime, but why did you shoot horses and not people? You can't tell me what a gentleman is. The foolish talk of a villain."

Min Yu said with a smile: "Since we have shot in the dark, who is talking about light and darkness? I don't want to hurt Zhao Shen's life, but for something else." Turning serious, he said: "I have envied Zhao's cavalry for a long time, Their combat methods are unrivaled in this world. If one day, Zhao Shen can be used by Xiyan, he can help the Xiyan army to build such an iron cavalry..." He didn't say anything about the rest, but Pei Yu couldn't understand .Seeing Min Yu's fascinated look, his eyes like shining stars in the dark night, he couldn't help sighing: "You are a son of nobles but you are not greedy for ease. It's very good to have such ambitions."

He looked at Min Yu for a moment, and said softly: "I watched the battle today, and suddenly felt that time flies. Brother Yu Chiyuan is old, and I am not young. From now on, it is up to you and Zhao Shen's generation to compete in the Central Plains." He said again, "Wen Ran, I blame you today, don't take it to heart."

Although Min Yu was smiling all the time before seeing Pei Yu, his smile was chilling.At this moment, the tone is indifferent, but it is like the sunrise and the spring breeze blowing on the face.He listened to Pei Yu call him his name, and said the young and old words again, he is such a smart person, his heart warmed for a moment, and he solemnly bowed and said: "Mr. Sunday!"

When the leaking night deepened, Pei Yu still didn't sleep.Calculating with his fingers, the people he asked Yu Chiyuan to send to Yecheng had been there for more than ten days, and the incident should have surfaced in three to five days.It's just that he originally prepared a family's table, but now guests from Gao Yuan'an and Zhao Shen's family came, adding many variables, he didn't feel frightened, but how to eat this table will have to think carefully depending on the situation.Just as he was thinking, the clerk beside him came up and flicked the candle wick, added another stream of water, and said softly, "Sir, watch the time and rest."

Pei Yu said lightly, "You have worked hard following me."

The clerk said with a smile, "Mr. You are joking. No matter how hard you think about it, Mister is a sin."

Pei Yu also smiled and asked, "Li Ji, what happened to what I asked you to do?"

This Li Ji said: "I asked Cheng Ji, the general who surrendered from Dongyan, and Lu Youzhi was indeed killed."

Pei Yu waved his hands and said, "What I want to ask is how Lu Youzhi was discovered. Judging from his previous situation, Zhao Shen doesn't seem to suspect him."

Li Jidao: "It's really just a coincidence. He went to see the spies outside the city to get the blueprints for the defense. It was a coincidence that he was caught by Zhao Shen. He probably admitted it after interrogation. Zhao Shen wanted to set an example and kill him like this." gone."

After hearing this, Pei Yu remained silent, and Li Ji asked, "Sir, do you think something is wrong?"

Pei Yu said: "I just don't understand. Earlier Zhao Shen had [-]% trust in him. Even if the fork came out, with Lu Youzhi's mind, if he really tried his best to deal with it, he might not have turned around. Why did he admit it so easily."

Li Ji said: "Maybe it's because I can't stand the torture."

Pei Yu sneered and said, "One side is pain, the other side is death, which one do you choose? Besides, you grew up with him, and you don't know what kind of person he is?"

Li Ji smiled and said, "Isn't it just asking for death?" He was joking, but when he saw that Pei Yu was only deep in thought, he couldn't help hesitating, "Could it be..."

Pei Yu turned the subject around and said, "How many years have you been with the Grand Master since childhood?"

Li Ji said: "It's been around for more than ten years." He added, "It's just that I'm too clumsy, and the grand master is driving me out all day now." Then he sighed and said, "If you want to say that you are smart and smart, and the grand master favors you the most, In the end, I have to say it is Youzhi.”

Pei Yu knew him well, and he didn't shy away from anything. He just smiled and said, "Let me be honest, the grand master didn't want to keep you because you are too shrewd. As for Lu Youzhi," he shook his head and said, "but he's a melon." Seeing that Li Ji seemed puzzled, he said again, "I didn't intend to send him to Luo City that day, but he insisted on asking. At that time, I watched from the sidelines. The Grand Master has treated him well these years, but he is also cautious and effective. But he always felt that this kind treatment was just because he wanted to use him, so he respected the Grand Master more than being close to him. Perhaps the Grand Master always thought that he was so determined to repay him wholeheartedly, so he finally agreed. "

Li Ji thought to himself: "Didn't the Grand Master save Youzhi back then to use him in the future? This is something that everyone can understand, so why cover it up." But he said, "This is Youzhi's hypocrisy. How do you want the grand master to treat each other honestly?"

Pei Yu fiddled with the pen on the case, and said calmly: "That's right, otherwise you are smart and he is a melon."

Li Ji smiled when he heard the words, but he didn't notice Pei Yu's almost inaudible sigh.

The author has something to say:

The description of the heavy cavalry may have inaccuracies
