After the marriage, the cousin was spoiled by the whole family of the Marquis's Mansion

Chapter 156 I Know Him Better

General Ma had already come close to Yin Gang. While watching Pei Lan set up the battle formation, he whispered, "General, these are just young brats who have never seen a battlefield. This is just a sneak attack. Let them have fun."

"Once they see with their own eyes what blood and flesh are flying everywhere, they will know whether he has the diamond in his hand or not."

Yin Gang and General Ma were both garrisons of the Huben Army.

However, Yin Gang was from Yanjing and his family had some connections in the capital. Seeing that there was no war and his promotion was slim, he was transferred to the capital.

Before he joined the army, he was just an ordinary citizen. He had worked hard to climb up to the position of garrison commander. Now that he is getting old, he is afraid that his road to promotion has come to an end.

Unexpectedly, when I got old, I started fighting again.

He also met Yin Gang, who was also a garrison commander in the past. The difference was that Yin Gang was already a deputy commander, while he was still a garrison commander.

Now is the last chance. Either you end up with a handful of dirt, or you return victoriously to the court and be promoted to lieutenant general or granted the title of Shunwei general.

Since the position of chief commander is vacant, Your Majesty should still want to choose a capable person.

Now with three deputy marshals, he subconsciously moved closer to Yin Gang. After all, the remaining two were too young.

Fighting a war is not possible just by relying on good kung fu.

Yin Gang nodded, a gleam in his eyes, "It's up to you to handle this matter."

He paused and said, "There is still a vacancy in the Imperial Guards in the capital. I think we need some experienced people to take over."

After hearing this, General Ma immediately nodded with a smile on his face.

If he could take office in Yanjing, it would be a great honor for his family, let alone serving in the imperial guards.

"General Yin, do you have any objections?"

Pei Lan's unique hoarse voice was heard. Yin Gang raised his eyes to meet his dark eyes. After a moment, he raised the corners of his lips and shook his head.

"No."

After everything was deployed, the snow outside stopped and it was already midnight.

The nearby Tongchang City was silent and the only sound that could be heard in the camp was the crackling of burning firewood.

There were only three people left in the big tent.

Jin Shaoyi looked at the two of them, and finally all the words in his mind turned into one sentence.

"Are you two combining civil and military skills?"

Ji Yunzhang didn't say anything.

Pei Lan did not respond to him, but continued to talk about the previous deployment.

"There is no one here now, and I have some things to say. I just arrived at the Southwest Camp, and I don't know anything about them."

"If there are no spies in the camp, the deployment just now is enough."

"If there is a spy, the deployment just now would be a suicide mission."

"what???"

Jin Shaoyi and Ji Yunzhang looked at him at the same time.

"The man in the daytime, the one who was picked up, if he had recent combat intelligence on him, then who contacted her? This is also a hidden danger."

"A thief can be a thief for a thousand days, but you can never be a thief for a thousand days."

"What you mean is, while the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?" This was the first sentence Ji Yunzhang had spoken to him in so many days.

Pei Lan was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, he is a cautious person, so he wants to be the yellow bird, and we have to be the catcher of the bird."

"If someone in the camp leaks the information, Western Jin will have backup tomorrow."

Jin Shaoyi understood a little, "You still want to take this opportunity to eliminate the spy? Isn't the price too high?"

Pei Lan shook his head. "You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. Only if we win this battle can our morale be boosted, and we can then fight back to Yanhui City in one fell swoop."

As he said this, he walked to the sand table and stuck a red flag somewhere.

"Here, lead your men to ambush here, and don't make any noise. Only when reinforcements from the Western Jin Dynasty arrive can we move forward to encircle them."

"The most common and simple Hui-shaped formation, the Western Jin Dynasty was able to leave no one alive." Jin Shaoyi opened his mouth slightly, and after a moment, he asked the biggest question in his heart, "Sister-in-law, why are you so sure?"

Rong Peilan, no, now it’s Pei Lan.

Pei Lan subconsciously glanced at Ji Yunzhang, lowered his eyes slightly, and said after a moment.

"Because I know him."

"Huh? Who?"

Jin Shaoyi didn't understand and didn't figure it out. When he wanted to ask more, the other person had already left.

When he turned around to ask Ji Yunzhang again, he also followed him out.

The deputy commander's tent was separate, but the others' were not.

Jin Shaoyi specifically ordered that Pei Lan be given a separate tent. After the soldier brought Pei Lan to the tent, he pointed to the tent next to it.

"General Ji, this is your tent."

Ji Yunzhang nodded, and only walked into the camp with his hands behind his back after the soldier walked away.

Pei Lan was packing the small bag he brought with him.

He heard the voice and didn't turn around, knowing that it was Ji Yunzhang coming in.

Ji Yunzhang stared at the door of the tent for a long while before he slowly said, "I'll have someone take you back to Beijing tomorrow."

"I have already sent mother, Qi'er, Sui'er, and Kuandi to Jinpeng. You can go directly to Taohua Lane in Jinpeng..."

Pei Lan turned around and interrupted him, "No one knows him better than me."

At this moment, his voice was no longer as hoarse as it was during the day, and gradually became clearer.

The medicine Tang Yue gave him was about to lose its effect and could only last for a day.

Ji Yunzhang frowned, "Swords have no eyes on the battlefield..."

Pei Lan returned to his usual gentle self, "So I'm only here to be a military strategist, not to fight in battle."

He lowered his head and took out a chess manual from his bag, which was a bit old.

The corners of his lips curled up into a mocking smile, "I learned all his skills, and I never thought that I would use them against him."

"My military tactics were all taught to me by him when we were playing chess. I really don't know how to fight a war."

He raised his head and said, "When playing against him, I could occasionally beat him when I was eight years old. Although I haven't seen him for many years, I am the only one who knows him best."

Ji Yunzhang opened his mouth, but finally closed it.

Whether the people of the Western Jin Dynasty were good at fighting or not, the Ji family had already given the answer more than ten years ago.

Mu Chun's surrender really gave Moller a helping hand.

He had already understood Mu Chun's plan in Yanjing. If it weren't for Peilan's many reminders, he would not have been able to prepare in advance before Prince Qing took action.

Based on this sentence alone, and since no one knew Muchun better than her, he couldn't say anything to ask her to go back.

Pei Lan saw that he had convinced him, and curled the corners of his lips slightly, "Qi'er and Sui'er are still young, they haven't opened their eyes to see the world yet."

"You're not the only one who wants to give them a peaceful and prosperous life. I want to, too."

Ji Yunzhang lowered his eyes and nodded, "I know, go to sleep."

As he said this, he lay down on the camp bed in the outer room with his clothes on.

Pei Lan was stunned. "You, you're just going to sleep here? Why don't you go back to your tent?"

Ji Yunzhang had already closed his eyes. "Most of the soldiers are rough men, many of them will come in shirtless. You have never seen that, I am afraid you will be scared."

Are you afraid that she will be scared?

Pei Lan listened to the howling wind and snow outside. At this time of year, he wished he was wrapped in three layers of quilts. Who would go shirtless? !
