Chapter II. 209
Pei Ya, who was pressed to the ground in a daze, immediately hit a spirit when he heard what Guo Xing said at this time. Now not only the more than 100 Pingbei soldiers are wondering in their hearts, but even Pei Ya himself can't figure it out: according to his own news, this Guo Xing is a scholar with extremely soft ears and some indecisiveness; Why is it that when you face yourself now, it seems like a different person? Not only did he not hesitate to fight, but even when he captured himself, the governor of the road, he did not intend to use this as a hostage to find another way for his more than 100 siblings.
As soon as Pei Ya thought of this, he was interrupted by a cold touch of gold and iron coming from his neck. He hurriedly turned his head and saw the unkempt Pingbei soldier behind him, who had already pressed the war knife in his hand on his neck at this time:
“…… It's really evil...... Stupid like this, he can be the governor of Youbei all the way, so look at it, if I was also born in Youbei, why don't I have to be a prince? …… Governor Pei, close your eyes, and I'll wait for you on your way......"
Speaking of this, the coldness in Pei Ya's neck suddenly disappeared. It is not difficult to imagine that this soldier has already found the position of the knife, and as long as he swings hard, he will be killed in two......
“… Phew, bah..."
The soldier did not rush to swing the sword, but kept spitting at the blade that 'does not exist'. His move not only made Pei Ya feel puzzled, but even Guo Xing, who had just drunk enough water and came back to see the excitement, was a little puzzled:
"You...... Is this the way to do it? Hurry up, just cut off your head, and you have to ask for a rain? Or are you scared? ”
"Young marshal, what are you talking about, the little one is a person from Humen in Yanjing City, who has been squatting at the mouth of the alley since he was a child and watching killing, and he doesn't know how to write these two words of fear at all?"
"What about you...... What does it mean......? ”
"Professional executioners, before cutting people, they have to spit wine and sacrifice knives, this is the old rule! We've been chasing these dog-day things for so long, how many days have I not smelled alcohol? Even if there is wine, it can't let this governor who is not very good at his brain spoil it, can he? I'm just going to use saliva instead...... Hey, by the way, young marshal, did you just call back the water? I'm so thirsty......"
Guo Xing rolled his eyes when he heard this, his heart was full of swear words and he didn't know where to scold, and finally he could only wave his hand:
"Don't talk nonsense, after cutting it, he will go over there to drink it himself, Lao Tzu has no time to serve you......"
The guard smiled, raised his foot and stepped on Pei Ya's head:
"Pei Du, close your eyes...... Get on the road......"
"Guo Xing, Guo Xing, Guo Xing! Don't you want to live yourself, and don't you want your brothers to live? It doesn't matter if you kill Pei Ya, but if you plan to borrow the road home from Mobei, you have to pass through Shuangshan City! Now there are still more than 10,000 of my elite cavalry of the Zhongshan Governor's Mansion stationed in the city, can you get by without my help? ”
Pei Ya was trampled to death at this time, half of his face was trampled on the ground tightly, and the small stones in the sand and soil crushed countless wounds for him.
But after all, in the face of life and death, Pei Ya didn't care about the pain, and shouted loudly about his last hole card.
Guo Xing let out a 'huh', threw the water bag in his hand to the 'executioner', and personally took the big knife in his hand and put it against Pei Ya's neck:
"Go on! But I advise you to be careful with your words, but if there is one word that I don't want to hear, or that makes me feel insincere, then your next listener will be the king of Yama. ”
Pei Ya swallowed a mouthful of saliva vigorously, and just wanted to raise his head to change his position to a more comfortable position, he was stomped on his head by Guo Xing again, and he was dizzy:
"A captive should look like a captive, lie down or kneel, you choose?"
Pei Ya thought about it, and simply stopped struggling:
"We, the Zhongshan Governor's Army, have not actually received the will to intercept and kill you......"
"Oh...... Then you came this time, are you planning to steal Yan Chongwu's military exploits? ”
Hearing this, Guo Xing really had some interest in his heart. Although he had accepted the defeat by this time, he still had much to do with the details of the battle; Although there are still Yan and Zhang Er generals chasing and killing behind him, this place is only twenty miles away from the Mobei border, and you can cross the border in the blink of an eye.
"No, no, no, the reason why Pei led the army to this Shuangshan City is because he was invited by Shen Gui, the grandson of Guo Yunsong, the Taibai Flying Tiger, to come to intercept and kill the young marshal."
"Shen Gui? The grandson of the prince of Zhongshan? Now that he Guo Yunsong is a prince who has been robbed of his knighthood, not to mention that he is just a relative of a junior, how can he command you to be the governor of the way? I don't think you're sincere about what you're saying, so I'm sorry......"
"Don't, don't! What I'm saying is true! Although Shen Gui is only a relative of Guo Mansion, after all, Guo Shuang is dead at this time, and his Guo family is now only Shen Gui alone except for the old prince; You must also know that the Zhongshan Governor's Mansion Army under Pei Mou is all Guo Yunsong's old department; Even Fu Ye, the former governor of Zhongshan, was once Guo Yunsong's personal guard battalion! Not one of them is not nostalgic for the old master, and who can I, the governor who came by air-conditioning, call? You see, for such an important operation now, it is still me, the governor of the bare pole, who came alone and single-handedly, doesn't this still show that Shen Gui's prestige in the army of the Zhongshan Governor's Mansion is still revealed? ”
The most realistic lie in the world is seven parts truth mixed with three points false! Pei Ya's lies made up under the knife are really credible in Guo Xing's ears.
"Oh? As you said, this Shen Gui can act on behalf of Guo Yunsong, and the Zhongshan Road Governor's Mansion Army is really the only one who is the leader? ”
"Exactly!"
"Then this Shen Gui ordered you to intercept and kill us, why didn't he send some soldiers to assist you? Could it be that he really doesn't know what you're up to? ”
"Young Marshal Guo, who knows who is suffering in this family! That Shen Gui and Yan Qinghong, the second prince of Youbei, had already worn the same pair of pants. They also did this to force me, the puppet governor, to pledge allegiance to the second prince. But if there is no illustrious family background as a guarantee, and there is no gold and silver sea, how can they completely believe in my sincerity? That's why they asked me to come alone this time, which is actually asking Pei to make a vote! My life and death are very beneficial to them. And if I can really preempt Yan Chongwu and successfully recruit the young marshal, then naturally I will make enemies with the entire Yan family and completely cut off all retreats! I think you also know that whether it is His Majesty Emperor Xuande or the Yan family of the royal family, they all belong to the prince Yan Day......"
But all smart people will have a misunderstanding. While they believe in their own abilities, they also do not underestimate their opponents. Guo Xing's impression of Pei Ya before came from all the military, political and legal decrees issued by Pei Ya after he became the governor of Zhongshan. After his analysis, his evaluation of Pei Yaqi has always been not low, so he will be careful to watch out for him day and night.
It is precisely because he believes that Pei Ya is a smart person, so he naturally does not think that he will make this kind of low-level mistake of 'riding alone into the camp and not measuring his own strength'.
And at this time, he did make such an abnormal move, and there must be a reason why he had to do it! Now Pei Ya's explanation is reasonable, at least so far, he has not found any obvious flaws.
But Guo Xing ignored one point: no matter how smart a person is, there will always be times when he is stupid; If the person also has the idea of wanting to win, then the chances of committing stupidity will also increase exponentially.
The cause of the mistake Pei Ya is making now is not complicated: greed, rashness, and self-discipline.
"I see...... However, Pei Du said just now, we are more than 100 brothers, there is still a way to live at this time? Then you have to bother Pei Du and show you the way to life to Guo Mou. ”
Pei Ya's heart was suddenly relieved when he heard this: Since Guo Xing asked about this, it was clear that he believed his previous 'confession'. Anyone who is so articulate and full of poetry and books is most afraid that the other party will not give him a chance to speak! Now that you let yourself speak, then this life will definitely be saved!
"If you take this road on your own, it will definitely be difficult to reach the sky! But if I were to help you, it would be like a smooth road! Since the end of the two northern wars, I have finalized a number of grain businesses in the third road of Youbei and the Mobei grassland; And my Zhongshan Road borders the Mobei grassland, and naturally there are many caravans passing back and forth; Although the goal of the more than 100 of you is obvious, if you break it into pieces and pretend to be a grain caravan to enter the Mobei grassland, then you will definitely be unaware of it! After all, along the way in Zhongshan, it is my Pei Ya's duty to check the passing caravans! ”
Guo Xing's eyes lit up when he heard this, and after thinking about it carefully, he patted Pei Ya's side face with the steel knife in his hand:
"Pei Du, Guo found out that you are not very honest! If it is true, as you just said, pretending to be a caravan to leave the northern part of the world, the first thing to do is to throw away your armor and enter the city of Shuangshan without an inch; And you have already said that there are more than 10,000 cavalry of the Zhongshan Governor's Army in this Shuangshan City; At that time, we are afraid that we will become a turtle in the urn, and let Pei Du take care of it! ”
When Pei Ya heard this, he let out a self-deprecating laugh:
"Huh...... Since Pei seeks self-preservation, how can he offer such an incomplete strategy? According to the customs clearance documents of the caravans, after an hour, two groups of grain merchants will pass by, adding up to about 80 people. Then you can take your place, and after taking one of my waist cards to defend yourself, you can clear the level without risking your way into the city! ”
Guo Xing's eyes rolled, and the steel knife in his hand moved slightly, cutting Pei Ya's neck:
"What if I have to go into the city?"
"It's all up to the young marshal to think!"
Guo Xing thought about it, turned his head and looked south a few times, then lifted the big foot that was stepping on Pei Ya's head, picked up the hemp rope on the ground, and said to the 'executioner' who had just returned from drinking horses:
"Tie it up!"
