Chapter 11 Not a Good Lobbyist
Pei Min's eyes fell on the place where the Tang army fought with the Xi army on the map, watching the Tang army's defeat and the Xi army's advance.
The place where the Tang army fought with the Xi tribe was Yingzhou, west of Bailang Mountain, near Liuzhou.
Looking at the map, Pei Min suddenly thought of Cao Cao's expedition to Wuhuan during the Three Kingdoms period. When Cao Wei defeated Yuan Shao, he swept the north and occupied half of the world. In order to eliminate the remnants of the Yuan clan and to completely solve the problem of Wuhuan entering the three counties, Cao Cao followed the advice of his adviser Guo Jia to make an expedition to Wuhuan. At that time, the main force of Wuhuan gathered in Liucheng. The Tang army's expedition this time was also to regain Liucheng, Yingzhou occupied by the Khitan and Xi tribes. The marching route and the current Tang army's advance route were completely different.
This two hundred-mile marching route was extremely bad. The Cao army was almost wiped out. If Tian Yu had not been there, Cao Cao would have been trapped on the way to the marching before he saw the Wuhuan army.
The difference between Sun Qi's ability and Cao Cao's ability is unreasonable. Cao Wei's prepared advancement was even in this situation with Cao Cao's ability, not to mention that Sun Qi's aggressive advancement is almost no different from seeking death.
It is precisely because the marching route is too bad that the Tang army's defeat is strange. Even if Li Daqi is smarter than Zhuge, he cannot guess the defeated route of all the Tang army troops. In that harsh environment, he was determined to send troops and pursue the Tang army. He was accurate and did not conform to the logic of military use. He hesitated for a moment: "Is someone revealing the military information?"
Xue Na showed a look of praise and nodded: "There are two reasons for this great defeat: Sun Qi was not aware of military affairs, but he was very happy with merits and advanced randomly. Secondly, Li Daqiu used his troops very accurately. Every time he attacked, he could find the Tang army to defeat his troops. He first destroyed the cavalry, and then gradually defeated the infantry. In just over ten days, he used the advantages of the cavalry to wipe out our army. I was stationed in Youzhou in the past and had many contacts with Li Daqiu. This person is indeed a commendable general and has strong attainments in the use of cavalry. But he would never have such a magical trick. Someone must have revealed the military information, which made our army lose the lead step by step and defeat the army."
Pei Min was still two years old, and when he was still passionate, he thought that 100,000 soldiers died on the battlefield because of the mediocre traitor, he felt like he was smashing them into pieces. He paused and hesitated, "Is the Grand Governor trying to let me find out the traitor?"
Xue Ne will not tell him such a thing for no reason, and the things she asks for must be related to this matter.
Sun Qi captured Li Daqiu alive and presented it to the Turkic Khan. It is said that the Turkic Khan directly killed Sun Qi, which is considered a crime. Only by revealing military information, without the following text, are inherently guessed. As for why he was found, it is unknown.
Xue Na nodded and admitted, and stood up and said, "In my early years, I dealt with the Xi tribe and Khitan. As long as I was a little careless, they would take the opportunity to enter. Whenever I faced them against the battlefield, I felt like seeing through the initiative and fighting was very passive. I had noticed the traitors and started to investigate many times. I had a special identity, but if I started to investigate, I would make the whole Youzhou people panic and could only be unaware of it. Later, I thought that the traitors might not be military generals, or wealthy merchants, or wealthy nobles or grassroots people. As long as I had a fixed force in Youzhou, it was possible. Especially Sun Qi liked to make friends with all kinds of people, and looked at Mengchangjun in the past. There were all kinds of people who cried and thieves around him. It should not be too easy to get along with him, and it also caused unprecedented harm for some reason."
Pei Min was stunned for a while. The land of Youzhou is vast and the various people with fixed forces are unknown. It is not easy to find a traitor from it. But he also knew that it was imperative to find a traitor, but he really couldn't think of anything that needed his help: "The Grand Governor didn't nod?"
Xue Ne shook her head and said, "I can't go to investigate openly. If this traitor makes the people in Youzhou panic and the gains are not worth the loss. I can't try my best to investigate here. They hide deeply and rarely act, so there are no clues available. But the fox will eventually reveal its tail, and your appearance should be able to grab their tails." He stopped selling lawsuits and said directly: "Do you know who the person you killed in Huairou County?"
Pei Min suddenly said, "It seems to be Li Daqiu's son."
"Not bad!" Xue Ne said: "To be precise, Li Dali is a son who is capable of inheriting the throne of the Xi clan. The Xi clan attaches importance to ability and practice. Their leader must be capable of convincing the public, but if they do not have the ability, they are not qualified to succeed the throne. Li Dali has several sons, but only Li Moke is the one who can really show off. In recent years, Li Dali has been cultivating Li Moke in order to inherit his position in the future. This time, he sent Li Moke to rob Huairou County, which was obviously a gift for prestige and military achievements, but he did not want to meet you
.He only killed his heir, do you think he will give up? According to the information in my hands, Li Daqing now hates you to the core and even issued a reward order to win you to reward a hundred horses and five hundred fat sheep. He hates you so far, and you are just an ordinary scholar who ignores the Pei family, without any power. How could he not take revenge on you? He is in the Xi clan, and he will definitely use the power in Youzhou. As long as the other party takes action, he will not worry about not being able to follow the clues."
Pei Min suddenly stood up and said in horror: "Then isn't my mother very dangerous? I'm not afraid of him coming to me, can my mother resist it?"
"Don't worry!" Xue Na stretched out his hand to signal Pei Min not to be impatient: "They worked inside and outside and did such a big thing. How could they not stop for a while? Even if they were willing to take revenge, they would not choose to be at this time. Your mother is safe for the time being. For your mother and for the sacrifice of 100,000 Tang army soldiers near Bailang Mountain, I hope you can help me find the traitor."
After Xue Na said that, he looked at Pei Min with anticipation. He hated the traitor hidden deep in Youzhou for a long time, but the other party hid deeply and was powerless. Pei Min accidentally killed Li Moke, allowing him to see the chance. It was just that he was determined to be tempted to see if Pei Min was as powerful as the rumored one. If Pei Min could not resist his test before and asked him to successfully attack, he would persuade Pei Min to take his mother away from Youzhou so that he would not die inexplicably. But now Pei Min's excellent swordsmanship gives him confidence and urgently hopes to get his help.
