General Zuo's Palace, Council Hall.

"Can you find out, the chief general of the Southern Barbarian Alliance is called Feng Cai?" Pei Shengqin's fingers rhythmically slapped the table.

Liu Zhecun, who was in charge of reconnaissance and intelligence, was also the general of the Navy Division who had followed Pei Yuanluo out of the camp in Guanghuazhou, and he replied: "It is absolutely true that Sima Daozi, the king of Langya in the Southern Barbarians, came forward and preached everywhere that our army was just a bluff, but in fact there was no army. He also contacted the Nanban towns around Huiji, organized the coalition army, appointed himself as the leader of the alliance, and ordered his disciple Feng Gai to be the chief general of the coalition army, threatening to recover Huiji. ”

"Sima Daozi would have heard of it, but he was just a straw bag. In this way, these things are all planned by Na Feng? Nanban still has such a character, and he can actually see the reality of our army. Pei Yuanluo said in a deep voice, he didn't expect that Pei Shengqin deliberately made a powerful image of the Qin army, and he was seen through so quickly.

"It turned out to be Feng Cai, no wonder it was so difficult to deal with, but I didn't expect this person to be a guest under Sima Daozi now." Pei Shengqin smiled bitterly and said astringently. He came from the afterlife, so he naturally knew who Feng should be. Feng should be a famous general at the end of the Jin Dynasty, and his battle for fame took place three years later, that is, in the second year of the former Qin Tai'an. That year, the Eastern Jin Dynasty invaded Qin, killed Emperor Fu Pi of Qin, who had just succeeded to the throne for more than a year, in Shaancheng, and then kidnapped the two princes of the former Qin and left!

The general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty who led the invasion was none other than Feng Cai! Feng Gai also became famous in a battle for angrily beheading Emperor Qin, and instantly sublimated from a nobody to a world-class famous general!

Pei Shengqin was speechless for a while, thinking that at this moment, the big names of the Eastern Jin Dynasty had gathered on the front line, and those left behind were all mediocre people. Unexpectedly, in the Linhai next to Huiji, there was still a Feng Gai who had not yet become famous! Against opponents of this level, Pei Shengqin has no bottom in his heart.

"I know this person?" Pei Yuan was slightly puzzled.

Pei Shengqin nodded and said, "Feng should be a person with great wisdom and courage, and he must not be underestimated. ”

Yong Jianlan on the side sighed: "General, son, it seems that our bluff has been seen through by the Nanban, and it is estimated that the coalition army of the Nanban is also about to attack, what should we do next?" ”

Pei Shengqin looked at Liu Zhecun and asked, "Uncle Liu, can you find out how many troops the Southern Barbarian Alliance Army has?" ”

Liu Zhecun groaned: "Conservative estimates, there are at least thirty or forty thousand." ”

Pei Shengqin nodded slightly, and asked Shi Yue again: "Uncle Shi, how is the integration of the 20,000 surrendered troops, and it is possible to fight?" ”

"The officers and men of our army have all been scattered to the surrendered army as generals, and now we should be able to initially use these 20,000 surrendered troops, but there is still a lack of running-in, and it is difficult to give full play to the combat effectiveness." Shi Yue was also very helpless, the originally said seven days was already very tight, but now it was only the fourth day, and the nearby Jin army quickly reacted and began to form a coalition army, and there was really not enough time to run in.

Although it is possible to fight now, the new generals are not familiar with the soldiers, and they will be weak in command. Second, I didn't brainwash for a few days, and I was also worried that these troops would turn against each other when they were about to fight, so it was inevitable to be on guard while using them. This is destined to be difficult to use at this time, and 20,000 horses may only be able to exert the combat effectiveness of 5,000 horses.

In this regard, Pei Shengqin was also very helpless, he originally planned to pretend in Huiji and suppress the nearby Jin army, so that they would not dare to act rashly. When the integration of the troops was completed seven days later, it didn't matter if the Eastern Jin Dynasty found that something was wrong, 20,000 people held on for ten days and half a month anyway, and the ship was built by then, even if it really couldn't hold it, it was a big deal to go to sea and run away. The only thing Pei Shengqin didn't expect was Feng Gai's existence, because of this person's keen insight, the towns of the Eastern Jin Dynasty reacted in just four days, and began to form a coalition army, which caught Pei Shengqin off guard.

Now that the coalition is coming, the surrender has not yet been fully run-in. Once the war starts, it must rely on this group of unseasoned troops to survive, and if it can't hold out when the ship is built, it will be cool.

Pei Shengqin had already told the generals present about the shipbuilding, everyone knew that the ship would take at least ten days to be built, and when they thought of this, everyone's thoughts were heavy. It's hard to make a peerless feat, but if you don't have time to accept the reward, and the person dies, it will be too wrong.

"Uncles don't need to panic, if you are greedy for life and afraid of death, we can return to Yizhou when the sailor mutinies; After capturing Wang Ningzhi and his wife, we could have retreated immediately. The reason why we stayed in Huiji with great fanfare, and deliberately let the scouts release the news, didn't we want to spread the good news back to China and reach the ears of the imperial court? Now that the Nanban has formed a coalition army, the momentum is huge, and our goal has been achieved. Soon, the imperial court will definitely be able to learn that we have occupied Huiji, and the morale of the people will definitely be restored, and all of you uncles are heroes of the Great Qin Dynasty! Pei Shengqin comforted the generals in a loud voice, strategically speaking, we have indeed achieved our strategic goals perfectly.

Pei Yuanluo also said: "We now have 20,000 troops, and we are guarding the fortified city, and Wang Ningzhi and his wife are hostages. As long as we can persevere and return to the country alive, we will be able to glorify our ancestors and become famous. ”

The father and son reluctantly encouraged a few words, and seeing that the morale of the generals had rebounded, Pei Shengqin continued to arrange: "Today's plan is nothing more than soldiers to block it, and water to cover it." Uncle Shi, immediately stop the run-in of the surrendered troops, and transfer all the surrendered troops stationed outside the city into the city today, ready to hold on; Uncle Li, immediately go and organize manpower, prepare rolling wood, stones, gold juice and other things, and transport them to the city for later use; Uncle Yong, you go to Wang Mazhi, and you go to the shipwright's workshop to inspect and supervise, so that the big ship can be built in advance; Uncle Liu, please continue to investigate the information, and if there is a new change, you will reply immediately..."

"No!" Shi Yue, Li Songlin, Yong Jianlan, Liu Zhecun and others agreed one after another.

"Sheng Qin, what do you need to do for your father?" Pei Yuan saw that he was not arranged, so he took the initiative to ask.

Pei Shengqin said with a smile: "Father can go to the warehouse and release all the other officials and gentry except for Wang Ningzhi and his wife." Then my father will sit in the general's mansion, and my father is the commander of my army, how can he move lightly? ”

"How do you arrange them after they are released?"

"You can let them take their current positions before the temporary requisition to appease the people in the city, and Huan Bucai will be promoted to the head of internal affairs of the Huiji first, and these Jin Dynasty officials and gentry are all controlled by Huan Bucai."

The officials and gentry of the Eastern Jin Dynasty all wrote a letter against the pseudo-emperor Sima Yao, and each person had a copy, and with these things, they could only follow the Qin army to the dark. The previous continued lock-up was just to make them suffer a little more, and they would be more obedient in the future, and now it is time to release it. It is naturally much better for this group of people to appease the people than for Yong Jianlan to appease them. In this way, it can avoid the people in the city to respond to the coalition army when the coalition army attacks.
