Chapter 339 Dingzhi, how about you just serve as a military captain beside your uncle?
"Ye Yun, how are you?"
Ten steps away, Baili Luochen looked at Ye Dingzhi at this moment, and his eyes were full of the shadow of his sworn brother Ye Yu.
He was a little dazed for a moment, as if he was back to that night more than 40 years ago.
Xiao Chongjing, Baili Luochen and Ye Yu, three young men in their prime, each holding a bowl of blood wine, with the sun and the moon above their heads and the loess under their feet, they knocked their heads to the ground, and the three brothers of different surnames became sworn brothers!
That scene is still vivid in my mind, as if it happened yesterday.
But now, in the end, brothers are killing each other and turning against each other.
Ye Yu, the once powerful military god, had everything taken away from him by a yellow silk imperial edict.
Baili Luochen felt mixed emotions in his heart, and his vision was a little blurred for a moment.
Ye Dingzhi had already noticed the strange look in Baili Luochen's eyes, he just smiled slightly:
"Uncle Baili, please call me Ding Zhi from now on. Ye Yun died on that night ten years ago."
Baili Luochen handed the warhorse to the cavalryman behind him, and took the lead to walk towards Ye Dingzhi and said apologetically:
"You've suffered a lot over the years. Don't blame your uncle for not helping you. If Xiao Chongjing knew you were in my house, I'm afraid he would issue an order that day to confiscate our property and execute us all!"
Ye Dingzhi certainly knew that what Baili Luochen said was true. Ye Yu and Baili Luochen had a deep friendship and loyalty. Even when he was framed by King Qing, Baili Luochen had repeatedly petitioned for Ye Yu's mercy.
However, Xiao Chongjing was wary of Ye Yu's high position and power. Secondly, when Ye Yu conquered Beique, he showed mercy to the remnants of Beique, which made Xiao Chongjing very suspicious.
Poor Ye Yu made countless achievements, but still could not escape the tragic situation of his family being broken up and his loved ones being killed.
Baili Chengfeng followed closely behind, and the father and son stepped on the corpses on the ground. They had never imagined that they would meet Ye Dingzhi again in such an occasion.
Ye Dingzhi bowed slightly and welcomed the father and son into the courtyard:
"Uncle, please, this is my humble home. Please come in and have a cup of tea. I hope you won't mind."
Ye Xiaofan saw through the crack in the door that Baili and his son had no hostility and called Ye Dingzhi "nephew", so he opened the door with confidence.
Baili Luochen looked around and saw the corpses of Geng Jiyuan's men everywhere inside and outside the courtyard.
He frowned and stopped Ye Dingzhi:
"Dingzhi, the military situation is extremely urgent, we must not waste any more time!"
"You killed Lu Tingen's top general. I'm sure he'll send more troops here to encircle you. Your situation will be extremely dangerous then. Your uncle came here because he received intelligence from the scouts and is here to set up defenses!"
"Wait for Lu Tingen's main force to arrive and annihilate them in one fell swoop. By then, the southwestern half of Yunzhou will no longer be in danger, and my uncle can lead his troops north to conquer the world!"
Ye Dingzhi was a little confused when he heard this. He looked at Baili Luochen intently, and could not believe that the current Marquis of Zhenxi was actually going to lead his troops to rebel!
This cannot be blamed on Ye Dingzhi, although Ye Dingzhi learned about Baili Luochen's rebellion from Wen Yanzhao when he kidnapped the bride at Jingyu Palace.
But judging from what Baili Luochen just said, now except for Yunzhou, the rest of the southwestern half of Beili seems to have completely fallen into Baili Luochen's hands.
"No, uncle? Did you conquer the world so quickly? Don't you even want to act anymore?"
"Okay, okay, Baili Dongjun, your grandfather and your father are so awesome, did you know that in Xueyue City?"
The corner of Ye Dingzhi's mouth twitched. This news was a bit too outrageous for him. In just four months, the four states of Linhai and the three counties in Shuzhong all had the surname Baili?
Uncle Baili, you have thick eyebrows and big eyes and look very righteous. How come you are so happy to rebel?
Baili Luochen saw Ye Dingzhi's expression and thought that his words had frightened him, so he chuckled and patted Ye Dingzhi's shoulder:
"Good boy, don't worry about your uncle's safety!"
"Xiao Chongjing is treacherous and stubborn. Ever since he ascended to the throne, he has always regarded your father and me as a threat! I assure you that I will help you avenge your Ye family!"
"Uncle came here this time, firstly to see if you are okay, and secondly, I want you to do me a favor!"
Baili Luochen's words were as firm as iron, without a trace of hypocrisy.
Ye Dingzhi's heart was also stirred by what he said, and the Ye family's revenge was only half avenged.
Even if the culprit Xiao Xie was killed, the instigator, Emperor Tai'an Xiao Chongjing, was still sitting on the throne. His death would not be enough to comfort my father!
Baili Luochen watched Ye Dingzhi grow up. Moreover, he and Baili Dongjun were as close as brothers, and could be considered half a family member. Ye Dingzhi's eyes flushed as he said:
"Uncle, please tell me, if there is anything I can do to help you, I will do my best!"
Baili Luochen then told Ye Dingzhi the strategy of ambushing Sanqipu and waiting for an opportunity to ambush Lu Tingen.
I hope he can help Baili Luochen find a favorable terrain near Sanqipu. As the saying goes, speed is of the essence in war. The sooner we can lay an ambush before Lu Tingen’s main force enters Sanqipu, the better our chances of winning!
After Ye Dingzhi learned of Baili Luochen's intention, he certainly had no reason to refuse.
The village of Sanqipu can be called Ye Dingzhi's second hometown.
He is extremely familiar with the mountains, rivers, and even every tree and blade of grass here.
It is naturally easy to lead the troops to deploy defenses and set up an ambush.
After agreeing to Baili Luo Chen, Ye Dingzhi told Shen Qiqi and Ye Xiaofan the whole story.
To prevent any accidents, Ye Dingzhi pleaded with Baili Luochen to relocate all 17 households of villagers in Sanqipu, including Ye Xiaofan's family, to a town 30 miles away for temporary shelter.
Baili Luochen immediately sent scouts back to the rear camp to dispatch a convoy of 500 soldiers and horses to assist the villagers in their transfer.
Afterwards, Ye Dingzhi took Baili and his son and, based on their experience, deployed 3,000 ambush troops in two dangerous areas outside Sanqipu. They also built a fake camp on the hillside five miles behind the village to confuse the enemy.
Everything was going on in an orderly manner. Baili Luochen gradually discovered that in addition to his excellent martial arts talent, Ye Dingzhi also had a considerable level of skill in deploying troops and commanding battles.
This story has to start from Ye Dingzhi's childhood. As the only son of the military god Ye Yu, Ye Dingzhi has been influenced by his father since he can remember and is very familiar with military affairs.
Ye Dingzhi also read through all the famous military books collected at home.
From the "Art of War", "Three Strategies" and "Six Strategies" of the pre-Qin period to the popular "Wei Gong Wen Dui" and "Taibai Yin Jing" today, he knows them all by heart.
Baili Luochen admired Ye Dingzhi's extraordinary military talent very much. He had made great military achievements throughout his life.
After achieving success and fame, there is only one thing that is the biggest regret——
He has no successor for his ability to command troops and defeat enemies!
Although Baili Chengfeng is the old marquis' biological son, his talent is far from being worthy of the old marquis's attention.
Baili Chengfeng's strengths lie in training soldiers and swordsmanship. He cannot even catch up with Chen Dunru, the veteran general of the Pofeng Army, in commanding troops and conquering cities.
In addition, Wen Luoyu was a henpecked husband, and she didn't want her husband to be away from home all day in the army.
Therefore, Baili Luochen has always been dissatisfied with his son, let alone his beloved grandson Baili Dongjun.
It would be disastrous if a drunkard became a general commanding an army. If he gets happy, the whole army will get drunk. How can they ride horses and fight?
"Dingzhi, why don't you just serve as a lieutenant beside your uncle? Otherwise, all your skills will be wasted!"
"As long as you agree, I absolutely believe that within five years, you will be the best general in the world!"
In the central army tent, Baili Luochen's eyes sparkled as he offered Ye Dingzhi an offer.
