Volume 1 Attack Chapter 9 Escape
"It's already very clear, that old lady Huan should be Huan Xuan's stepmother, that is, the princess that Huan Wen captured from Cheng Han." Pei Shengqin made a statement.
The male dog was still asking: "How does Gongzi know that Huan Wen only has one wife and one concubine, what if he has other concubines?" ”
Pei Shengqin sneered: "The word old lady is not something that any concubine can call, Huan Wen's wife is the princess, after she dies, except for the one who is also a princess, who can afford to be an old lady?" ”
Whether Huan Wen really only has one wife and one concubine Pei Shengqin is not clear, but the gate valve system of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is strict, but Pei Shengqin is clear, and later historians have already understood the system of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. is not Huan Xuan's biological mother, but also wants to be regarded as an old lady by a gate valve like Huan, this is not something that ordinary concubines can do, they have to have a very high background.
Shun Qiang said cautiously: "So, the one who sent our army camp today is undoubtedly Her Royal Highness the Princess?" ”
"No, she is no longer the princess of Chenghan back then." Pei Shengqin glared at Shunqiang and said angrily: "This woman now, she is the noblewoman of Nanban, and she is one of the highest-level powers of the Huan clan. ”
Pei Shengqin didn't know what had happened to this woman for decades. I don't know if she left with Huan Wen voluntarily or was taken captive. But judging from her status today, she must have thoroughly integrated into the Eastern Jin Huan clan in decades of assimilation. After Cheng Han's death, there has been no news of this woman, which can be described as low-key to the extreme. If it weren't for the crossing, Pei Shengqin would never have known that the old lady of the Huan family still had such an amazing identity.
At this time, this woman who lived in a shallow way took the Eastern Jin Dynasty delegation to the Qin camp, since ancient times, which commander has let his stepmother serve as an envoy to the enemy camp! What exactly Huan wants to do, it goes without saying! The thousands of years of experience in his mind made Pei Shengqin quickly understand what they wanted to do.
Cold sweat flowed down Pei Shengqin's eyebrows, eyes and sideburns, and in a short time, Pei Shengqin felt that his whole body had been soaked with sweat.
Pei Shengqin anxiously ordered: "You two hurry up and wake up General Shi and the soldiers, we have to go back to the camp overnight, I'm afraid there will be changes later!" ”
Shunqiang and the male dog were shocked, and asked at the same time: "Childe, what big changes can be made in the big camp?" ”
Pei Shengqin looked at the two of them and said with a miserable smile: "If Princess Chenghan reveals her identity in front of you and asks you to betray Daqin and return to the Huan clan, will you never obey?" ”
Both of them were stunned and remained silent for a long time. Pei Shengqin couldn't wait, pushed the two of them away, and personally went to open the military tent, calling the tent sergeant in a deep voice.
"Get up! Get up for me, quick! ”
At this moment, Pei Shengqin's heart was full of mania and fear, and there was a little regret.
If he hadn't persuaded the Huan clan to surrender, the situation would have been much better... At most, as in history, what about the defeat of the former Qin Weishui, he fled to Guanzhong with his father and Yang Shiyi, and fled to Xizhou. In the future, Xizhou can't hold on to it, and then flee to Liangzhou, the world is vast, with his prophetic sense of history, why not be afraid that he can't find a way to live.
He just wanted to persuade the Huan clan to surrender, and tried in vain to rewrite the outcome of the battle of Weishui by himself. He forgot that he was just an ordinary person after all, and what he was facing was the best people of this era. When the actions of the Yizhou sailors are different from those in history, the response of the Jingzhou Huan clan will also change. At this moment, the trick used by the Huan clan is unprecedented in history, and he has lost historical prediction, and he is completely powerless against it!
Pei Shengqin now knew that the old lady Huan was going to the Qin camp, and he must have wanted to take the opportunity to bewitch and plot against the Yizhou sailors, but he had no way to deal with it in his heart. He doesn't even know what is going on with his father now, whether Old Taijun Huan has already made trouble, whether his father can deal with it, and whether Qianqin's already difficult future will be worse because of his unauthorized actions?
Now the only thing Pei Shengqin can do is to gather his troops and return to the camp overnight, hoping that the situation has not gotten out of control!
After the tea effort, the hundred people under his command were assembled, Shunqiang and the male dog came to Pei Shengqin, and said solemnly: "The two of us swear to follow the son to the death, even if we see the old lady Huan, I will not change my will." ”
Pei Shengqin sighed: "You two are my own soldiers and generals, and you have to think about it for so long." What would happen if I were replaced by an ordinary soldier? ”
At this moment, Pei Shengqin had briefly informed Shi Yue of the matter, and Shi Yue frowned and said: "The hundred people here are all sons and soldiers, and there will be no mistakes in the future." The generals and the generals will not betray them, but as for the soldiers below, they can't say for sure. After all, almost all of the Yizhou sailors who went on this expedition were from that year... Alas. ”
Shi Yue is obviously not optimistic about the situation in the camp, and for decades, almost the whole world has forgotten the princess of Chenghan. The imperial court only thought about how to exert the greatest combat effectiveness this time, but it did not take into account the remaining factors of the Cheng Han royal family, who would have thought that the Cheng and Han dynasties had been dead for more than 30 years, and the Huan clan could still make a descendant of the Cheng Han royal family with great influence.
On the contrary, the 70,000 Yizhou sailors of the Guanghuazhou camp still eat this set!
The personal soldiers of the generals will not waver, and the relationship between these soldiers and the generals is extraordinary, just like the hundred people under Pei Shengqin; Some literate and polite soldiers and high-ranking generals should not be shaken, after all, now that Daqin is in full swing, wouldn't it be looking for death if he voted for Nanban at this time? .
But each general has at most three or two hundred personal soldiers, and there are few literate people in this era, and even fewer people come to serve as soldiers after being literate. Therefore, the above two types of soldiers together together have a maximum of several thousand, and in the huge base of 70,000 Yizhou water divisions, they really can't make waves.
The vast majority of people are illiterate and do not know what the general trend of the world is. This kind of person is guilty of death, they only remember the pain of losing the country that they experienced when they were children, and they only know that they want to fight the Nanban for revenge. Cheng Han is only afraid in their hearts that he will be heavier than Qianqin, if this group of people is really fooled by Old Taijun Huan, the result is really hard to say.
"Sheng Qin, don't worry too much, maybe the lord has noticed the conspiracy of Old Taijun Huan, and maybe he has already captured it." Shi Yue comforted Pei Shengqin on the side, as long as Pei Yuanluo did not give Huan Lao Taijun the opportunity to contact the vast number of soldiers of the Qin army, things would take a turn for the better.
"Thank you, uncle." Pei Shengqin nodded at Shi Yue, turned to the assembled soldiers, and said, "Take your swords, horse bits, and go out of the corner gate in front of you, don't make too much noise and alarm most of the barbarians." ”
These hundred people are directly commanded by Pei Shengqin, and they are his personal soldiers, so they are not in danger of being instigated, so they can be used with confidence. Since the Huan clan has a conspiracy, they naturally won't let them go easily, and I'm afraid they'll be ready to tear their faces tomorrow. Taking advantage of the fact that the two sides have not torn their faces now, the Huan clan should not have too many precautions against them tonight, and this is the best opportunity to escape.
If you don't leave tonight, you may not be able to leave after tomorrow!
The sailors are not cavalry, with an army of 70,000 and only a few hundred horses. However, Pei Shengqin was on behalf of the Qin army this time, and in order to maintain his prestige, the hundreds of people under his command were all equipped with horses. Before getting on the horse, Pei Shengqin first asked the soldiers to stuff a horizontal log into the horse's mouth, and then tore the tent into rags and wrapped the horse's feet, so that the horse could not make too much noise when running.
In order not to cause too much movement and disturb the large number of Jin soldiers, they could only quickly solve the Jin soldiers on duty at the northwest corner gate, and then quickly rushed out.
The team rushed to the vicinity of the corner gate, and by the night, it could be clearly seen that a group of twenty Jin soldiers were patrolling back and forth on both sides of the corner tower. The corner gate is not as tightly defended as the main gate of the east, west, north and south, because the corner gate is narrow, it is not easy for the army to enter and exit, and ordinary people will not look for the corner gate to attack the city. However, there are only 100 people under Pei Shengqin's command, and if it is replaced by the main gate, there will be at least hundreds of soldiers on duty at night, and it will be difficult to break through with Pei Shengqin's current strength. It's fitting to go out through the corner door.
It was not possible for Pei Shengqin to kill the enemy in battle, and Shi Yue took the initiative to take over the command. He selected nineteen nimble soldiers, including Shunqiang and Male Dog, plus exactly twenty of himself.
They took daggers in their mouths and sneaked down the city wall to the bottom of the two corner towers, Shi Yue made a gesture, and everyone used their hands and feet to climb up the corner towers.
One of the Jin soldiers on the night patrol yawned, and was thinking about making up for it after the next duty, when he suddenly felt a tightness in his neck, and a big hand wrapped around the back of his head, covering his mouth tightly.
"Hmm! Hmmm! ”
The Jin soldier struggled with his throat, trying to call out to his companions. When he finally turned his head off a little, he was horrified to find a shadow standing behind each of his companions!
The dagger slashed through the throat of the Jin soldier, and Shi Yue carefully placed the body of the Jin soldier on the ground slowly, without making a sound. Looking around, everyone else had also solved their respective goals, and Shi Yue beckoned: "Open the city gate!" ”
The northwest corner gate of Zigui quietly opened, Pei Shengqin was overjoyed in his heart, and ordered: "Get out of the city!" ”
The remaining eighty people under his command followed Pei Shengqin closely and galloped on horseback. The horses of Shi Yue and others were also led by everyone all the way, and when they arrived at the city gate, Shi Yue and others also turned over their horses and nodded at Pei Shengqin, and we rushed out of Zigui together and beat the horses.
There are few starry nights, and some guests have returned, but Zigui is still sleeping.
"Childe, will you go straight back to the camp?" Shi Yue asked.
Pei Shengqin shook his head: "No, first go around the dense forest five miles northeast." ”
Pei Yuanluo was worried about Pei Shengqin's safety, and sent three hundred henchmen to ambush in the dense forest five miles northeast of Zigui, and now he needs to receive this team of soldiers and horses first.
If Mrs. Huan didn't start it, it would be fine, but if she had already made trouble, the camp would be unpredictable at this moment. If you can't turn back rashly, you must gather as much strength as possible before you go back.
