Chapter 166: Submission
Yang Shuo looked at the token that was broken into two pieces, and raised his head and looked at Pei Yuan in shock: "Pei Yuan, are you crazy?" ”
Pei Yuan pointed his sword and said to him in a threatening tone: "Call this king by his name, is Lord Yang preparing to rebel?" ”
"Hahaha, crazy, really crazy, you say I rebelled, you are really rebelling, this is a gold medal awarded by the emperor himself, it is a royal gift, you don't listen to military orders, but you dare to treat the imperial gift like this, are you really not afraid that I will sue the court?" The more Yang Shuo looked at Pei Yuan, the more he felt like he was dealing with a madman.
He only saw Pei Yuan sneering, and had no choice but to look at General Shi and Shi Xiangjie: "General Shi also wants to fight for the tiger?" Shi Qianfeng is also planning to sit on the sidelines? ”
General Shi looked at Yang Shuo and said in a deep voice: "The general will not be subject to other things in the foreign army, and the order of Yang Jianjun is really against the way of heaven, and General Shu Ben cannot carry it out." ”
Yang Shuo raised his sword and pointed at the three of them: "Okay, okay, you guys are going to rebel together." ”
"Enough!" Pei Yuan let out a loud sigh and took out a gold medal from his arms, "Yang Jianjun might as well take a look at this, even if the emperor personally supervises the army, he has to think about one or two, what does Lord Yang think?" ”
Yang Shuo took a closer look, it was a token that was some years old, there was no messy pattern on it, there was only one Pei character, but the mark below was unique, and only the first emperor used this mark as his own unique mark in the entire Pei dynasty, Pei Yuan actually held the token of the first emperor.
He slowly withdrew his sword, raised his hand and saluted Pei Yuan, and said in a deep voice despite his reluctance: "Weichen listens to the order." ”
The four of them were still discussing together how to settle the people in the city, and He Cong suddenly came to report: "General Shi, General Pei, the captain of the city said that he wanted to see you." ”
Pei Yuan and General Shi glanced at each other, and Pei Yuan understood: "Bring him up." ”
Shi Yuhua, the captain of the city guarding the city, saw the city break with his own eyes, and was worried that the city would face the same situation as Pei's city, but he heard that it was General Shi who led the troops, and he still wanted to give it a try and seek a way for the people in the city to survive.
Following He Cong to General Shi's room, Shi Yuhua respectfully bowed to the four people in the room, and then knelt down in front of General Shi: "Shi Yuhua, the commander of the city, has seen the general, and begged the general to take the lives of these people for the sake of the people in the city being suppressed and bullied by the Qin clan." ”
General Shi was full of surprise: "Where did Captain Shidu start with this?" ”
"Our people here are by no means intent on opposing your Pei clan, it's just that the Qin clan is short of soldiers and food, not only levy grain from our city, but also take away all the young and strong people in our city to be their strong men, and all the people who rush to the front to die are such people who have no experience, and their own elites are left behind."
Shi Yuhua wiped a handful of tears: "It's me who is incompetent, I can't resist the Qin clan, and I can't save the people, we are also very dissatisfied with the Qin clan, so please rest assured general, as long as you can give the people in this city a way to live, they will never do anything unfavorable to your army, as for if you lack food and clothing, I can also come forward and ask the people to donate some." ”
"No need," General Shi stretched out his hand to help Captain Shidu, "Since you said that the Qin clan has been squeezing them for a long time, we naturally won't do the same thing, originally we planned to coexist peacefully with the people of the city; Since Captain Shi Du also has this intention, it is very good. ”
Shi Yuhua once again prostrate on the ground and made a big salute, and thanked General Shi for his kindness: "Shi thanked the general for his great kindness for the people of the city." ”
General Shi had to stretch out his hand again to help him up, and Pei Yuan pondered for a while and proposed to him: "In this case, Captain Shi can continue to be the captain of this city, so that the people in the city will feel safer in their hearts." ”
"No matter how much we outsiders say, we can't compare to what our own people say, I think it's good." Shi Xiangjie also agreed.
In order to thank the Pei army for their great kindness, after Shi Yuhua left General Shi's office, he began to negotiate with some well-known people in Lecheng, and all of them chose to submit without exception.
The army chose to take a temporary rest in the city, Pei Yuan had some free time, and secretly slipped back to Yucheng at night, and after entering the city, he saw Shen Jiahe from a distance throwing sandbags with a few people, and couldn't help laughing: "It's hard for a few adults to play a child's game and still have such a good time." ”
Liuyu threw the sandbag and shouted excitedly: "The prince is back!" ”
Shen Jiahe turned his head to look at him, the firelight at night illuminated his whole person, although he knew that they were not willing to be far apart, but when he saw him after a day or two, he still had the sigh of reunion after a long absence, but what he said was just a plain sentence: "You rushed back so late, did you have dinner?" ”
Pei Yuan stepped forward and took her hand and walked into the room together: "Today's entry into the city was very smooth, and the celebration banquet was held early, and some were used." ”
"Get some light supper for your lord." Shen Jiahe turned his head and ordered, and then looked at Pei Yuan and said, "The celebration banquet is not drinking, I'm afraid I can't eat anything at all." ”
Pei Yuan smiled and nodded, and suddenly heard another bird whistle in the house, and couldn't help but tense up: "What's in the house?" ”
Shen Jiahe wanted to hide the matter of going to Eagle's Beak Peak, but Pei Yuan was too surprised, and she couldn't find a chance to hide Xiao Hei, so she had to step forward and open the self-made curtain, revealing an eagle inside.
"How did you catch it?" Pei Yuan looked at the eagle in his arms and asked Shen Jiahe in surprise.
Shen Jiahe stepped forward and touched the eagle's head, and carefully explained to Pei Yuan: "It was injured and couldn't fly, so I picked it up and fed it, and I named it Xiao Hei, which is very appropriate." ”
Pei Yuan frowned and looked at the eagle: "I don't want to be a place in this city where an injured eagle passes by. ”
Shen Jiahe got up and shook Pei Yuan's sleeves, and said coquettishly to him: "As soon as you leave, I can't help but miss you, so I took them to the eagle's beak peak at the junction, where I picked it up." ”
"Don't blame me and Liuyu them, I inquired carefully before I went, and I rushed to make sure there was no danger, Ah Yuan!" Shen Jiahe winked at Pei Yuan, his voice was soft and glutinous.
Pei Yuan sighed: "I know that you are bored here, and when we attack the capital of the Qin Clan, we will take you over." ”
Shen Jiahe laughed at this time, and when she mentioned the capital, she remembered the scene she saw in Eagle's Beak Peak, so she mentioned the matter of the moat to Pei Yuan: "There may be some trouble in the moat, you have to find a way to deal with it in advance, it is easy to ambush there, you must be careful." ”
After that night, the Pei army led by General Shi was like a bamboo, and soon reached the outside of the Qin capital, and because it was necessary to consider how to deal with the moat outside the capital, the army was temporarily stationed not far from the city.
After Shen Jiahe received the letterhead from Pei Yuan, he began to pack his package and prepare to go there to meet Pei Yuan, and Liuyu stood aside with a look of disapproval: "Didn't the prince say that when they capture the capital, they will come back to pick you up, why are you in a hurry at this time." ”
Shen Jiahe shook his head: "Haven't they all been recovered along the road?" It's hard for us to walk on our own turf and worry about danger, maybe by the time we arrive, the army will already attack the capital, and you don't want to see that kind of pomp and circumstance? ”
Yuan Yang looked at Liuyu funny: "When do you think you said about the princess, you haven't been taken away by her, look at me and Yuan Xu are only obeying orders and not talking now." ”
Yuan Xu stood aside and nodded in a timely manner, Liuyu had no choice but to roll his eyes at the two, and then looked at Shen Jiahe and said, "Okay, let's go back and clean up." ”
Shen Jiahe brought some change of clothes, although they were recovered along the way, it was difficult to guarantee that there would be no accidents, and after thinking about it, Shen Jiahe also brought the golden silk clothes left by Pei Yuan.
The four of them followed Pei Yuan's trail all the way, and along the way, they saw that the occupied cities were not only boiling with resentment, but were peaceful everywhere.
"The common people want to live a peaceful life, whether it is the Qin family in charge or the Pei family in charge, they only want one acre and three points of land, and three meals a day are stable." Shen Jiahe looked at the curling smoke above the village and sighed.
Yuan Yang looked at the children running and playing in the village and laughed sincerely: "It's good to be like this now, they should also be grateful for meeting Ren Jun like Wang Ye and General Shi, I heard that Yang Shuo wanted to slaughter the city before, but they were stopped by Wang Ye." ”
"Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, this sentence is not false at all, people like Yang Shuo will be in trouble sooner or later." After Shen Jiahe finished speaking, he grabbed the horse's belly and galloped forward with all his strength.
When Shen Jiahe arrived with the three of them, Pei Yuan and they were still discussing the signal to attack the Qin clan's capital tomorrow, and when they saw Shen Jiahe running here again without permission, Pei Yuan only rubbed his temples helplessly.
Shen Jiahe stepped forward and took his hand down, and said with a flattering smile: "Didn't you say that when you take the capital, you will let me be with you?" ”
Pei Yuan glanced at the three people behind Shen Jiahe who lowered their heads and didn't speak, and looked at Shen Jiahe helplessly: "But we're still outside the city now, and I told you before, so I asked you to wait for me to go back to pick you up." ”
"It's very safe along the road, the few cities you have built, the people in them are living very peacefully, there is no trouble, don't you think I'm safe here? Besides, I guess you're all done by the time I come, and who knows I'm on a budget error. Shen Jiahe laughed twice.
General Shi looked at the little couple flirting and scolding and laughed: "Okay, it's all here, we really discussed attacking tomorrow, I heard that Jiahe has known about the existence of the moat for a long time, but what are the good ideas?" ”
Shen Jiahe pondered for a while, and replied seriously: "I don't know the depth of the moat now, wait until the dead of night to arrange one or two water-based ones to explore the bottom first, and the rest can be made from now on, and then when the news comes back, we will bury the sandbags in the shallowest place and leave them for tomorrow to cross the river." ”
General Shi nodded, and hurriedly instructed Shi Xiangjiao to look for soldiers with good water properties, and when he saw that Shen Jiahe still had something to say, he nodded: "You continue." ”
Shen Jiahe said again: "In order to prevent accidents, we must first use silver needles to test poison in the water tomorrow, the best way is to send some people to garrison tonight, to prevent the Qin family's people from arranging mechanisms in the water or ambushing people, they live here, and they are naturally more familiar with the situation of the moat than us, and everything must be careful." ”
General Shi stroked his beard and laughed, turned his head to look at Pei Yuan and teased: "You princess is more powerful than you, if you really stop her from coming, we will lose a terrible military advisor." ”
Shen Jiahe was a little embarrassed, and moved closer to Pei Yuan: "Uncle praised it, but I knew earlier than you, and I have been studying for a longer time." ”
Pei Yuan stretched out his hand and pinched her little finger, his face was full of pampering, and then he took a few people and General Shi to say goodbye first: "I'll take them to settle down first, and then come over." ”
The sandbags were all packed in the evening, and when the two people who went to touch the water came back, Shi Xiangjie led a small team of people to start burying sandbags in the moat. When the matter was completed, Shi Xiangjie didn't dare to go, but took the soldiers to ambush nearby, observing whether the Qin clan's people would make moves in the water.
Leader Qin naturally didn't know this, he looked at the map in his hand and secretly congratulated himself that his capital was surrounded by moats, with the advantage of the terrain, maybe he could fight a beautiful battle tomorrow.
