When the sedan chair returned to the formation of the Xiahou Valve, everyone in the Xiahou Valve breathed a long sigh of relief. First, although there are many talents in the valve, there is no leader who can replace Xiahouba, and secondly, the incident happened in a hurry, and there is no preparation in the valve - it takes time for the troops to assemble; It takes time to get the message to the Anxi army; It will take more time for the Anxi army, which is scattered for thousands of miles of defense lines, to assemble again. If you start working directly, the situation will inevitably be a mess, and no one will have a bottom in their hearts.

Xiahou Li led thousands of troops to protect Xiahou Ba's sedan chair in the center, and cautiously returned to Xiahou Fang.

On the way, Xiahou Rongguang, who served as a scout lieutenant in Beijing, led two thousand light cavalry to support.

"Great Elder Qiqi, Second Uncle has urgently assembled the team and ordered me to lead the scout battalion to support first!" Xiahou Rongguang seems to have come out of the haze and has become murderous and unstoppable again.

"Let's hold our ground for now." Xiahou Ba was in a coma, and Xiahou Li, the great elder, was the one who talked about it. He commanded Glory, and his gaze fell on the distance, where another group of men and horses had been killed.

Five thousand ironclad soldiers marched with a terrifying and neat pace, coming from the direction of Tianjin Bridge, led by Pei Du, the lord of Pei Valve, the commander of the Beijing camp, and the general of the hussars!

Seeing the people of Xiahou Valve coming downhill with a sedan chair, Pei Du hurriedly clamped the horse's belly with his feet and greeted him in the company of Pei Yuqiu.

"Great Elder, this seat is late when I hear the news, is Otsuka Zai okay?" Pei Du rode on his horse and hugged his fists towards Xiahou Li and his party.

"With the Lord of Lao Pei Valve, I, Xiahou Valve, will not forget the favor of your valve." Xiahou Li also clenched his fists and saluted: "As for my eldest brother, alas, ......"

"In that case, then hurry up and send Otsuka Zai back to his house for healing." Pei Du glanced at the two thousand elite horsemen brought by Xiahou Rongguang, and ordered in a deep voice: "Captain Xiahou, you lead the scout battalion to escort Otsuka Zai back to the house, and you must not go wrong." ”

Xiahou Rongguang felt a greasy feeling in his heart, although Pei Du, the hussar general, was nominally the head of the Beijing camp, but half of the men and horses in the eastern camp had never listened to Xiahou's undefeated orders, Pei Du's words seemed to be superfluous, but they implied dissatisfaction.

"The last will obey." Xiahou Rongguang didn't care what he thought in his heart, so he could only obediently bow his head and obey orders.

At this time, Xie Xun also came with thousands of Xie Valve's songs. Old Lord Xie was sweating profusely on the horse's back, and said loudly to Xiahou Li: "Where is Mei Yi's old wife, the old man is going to slaughter her, and he will be angry for the old prince!" ”

This guy is used to saying beautiful things, Mei Yi is in the imperial city now, borrow his three guts, does he dare to break into the palace?

Xiahou Li naturally thanked him, seeing that more and more people were gathering, and the wide Suzaku Street was blocked. He hurriedly arched his hand to everyone and said: "Thank you for your kindness, today's incident happened suddenly, and this valve has not yet taken countermeasures, and now I just want to hurry up and treat the valve owner." ”

After speaking, he put down a cruel sentence and said: "But please rest assured, today's matter, Xiahou Valve will definitely not give up, if my lord has three long and two short, I can't say it, I will let some people pay for their blood debts!" When the time comes, please help me Xiahou Valve! ”

"Of course...... Xie Xun immediately said in a loud voice: "The enemies of the Xiahou Valve are the enemies of our Xie Valve, and they will definitely not be let go!" ”

"But at the command of your lord." Pei Du also replied in a deep voice.

The two men and horses got out of the way, and first asked the men and horses of the Xiahou valve to escort the sedan chair back.

。

When Xiahou Valve's men and horses were far away, Pei Du slowly drove back to the camp with the ironclad army.

As soon as he entered the big tent of the Chinese army, Pei Yucao, the deacon of Wuwei, said in a deep voice: "Report to the lord, since the ironclad army received the order and crossed the Tianjin Bridge, it has taken half an hour and a quarter of an hour. ”

"It's too slow!" Pei Du sat down in the handsome position, and said with a dissatisfied face: "We must catch up with the scout camp and control the Tianjin Bridge." As he spoke, he glanced at Deacon Pei Yunan and asked, "How do you think you can improve it to ensure this?" ”

Pei Yunan has been waiting for the wind and grass from all sides, naturally including Xiahou Rongguang's actions, so he reported in a deep voice: "Back to the lord of the valve, although the eastern camp is far away from Ziwei City, the speed of the light cavalry of the scout battalion is much faster than that of the ironclad army, we must either dispatch cavalry or secretly move the ironclad army to ensure the requirements of the lord of the valve." ”

"I have other uses for cavalry, and it's impossible to move defenses, the movement is too big." Pei Du groaned slightly, categorically rejected Pei Yuyan's proposal, and coldly instructed Pei Yuyan: "No matter what method you use, you must shorten the time to less than half an hour within two months, otherwise military law will be engaged!" ”

"Understood!" Pei Yucao: Stubbornly took the errand.

"Well...... Pei Du let out a long breath of turbidity and said, "You all understand it today, right?" It's not that I want to pit the emperor, he is really just a turtle with a shrunken head, and he is not worthy of our allegiance at all! ”

"Yes." The two lowered their heads in convincing, and before leaving, Pei Du gave an order, if the initial emperor dared to merge with Xiahou Bahuo, he would immediately play the banner of rebellion and attack the Xiahou valve outside the Ziwei Palace, and then unite with the forbidden army to encircle and suppress the Xiahou valve, forcing the Xiahou valve army in the eastern camp to disarm.

But the Initial Emperor wasted such a precious opportunity in vain, and completely strengthened the mind of Pei Valve's people to replace him.

"Dare to ask the owner, where will the situation go next? And how do we respond? Pei Yuyu asked sincerely.

"Next, there is Huangfu Yu's suffering." Pei Du smiled coldly and said, "All the attention of the Xiahou valve will be on him, which is just convenient for us to act." As he spoke, he looked at the map of Daxuan's north hanging behind him and said, "I will immediately order the second brother's side to completely abandon the defense line of Juyong Pass, break the troops into pieces, and gradually retreat south, and at the same time prepare for the army to cross the river." ”

As he spoke, he stood up and said, "The day when the snipe and the clam compete and the fisherman gains profit is coming!" ”

。

However, it was said that the Xiahou Valve people escorted Xiahou Ba's sedan chair back to Xiahou Fang, and arranged for the troops to strengthen their vigilance, and the East Battalion was ready to attack at any time, and then a group of core people hurried to the main courtyard of the valve to see Xiahou Ba's life and death.

When they saw the old lord sitting on the couch safe and sound, everyone's hearts were put back in their stomachs.

"It turns out that this is a play played by the eldest brother," Xiahou Li sighed, and said with a happy face: "God bless this valve, fortunately, the eldest brother is safe and sound." ”

"That's it, why is the eldest brother pretending to be dizzy? It's almost scaring us to pee our pants. Xiahou Lei asked with a puzzled expression.

"Otherwise, how can the old man find out what the emperor and the lords really think?" Of course, Xiahou Ba didn't admit it, he was attacked by the rush at that time, and he really fainted. His face did not change and said to everyone: "Now not only the old man, but the whole world can see that he Huangfu Yu is a thief with a thief heart and no thief guts, I think who still believes that he can defeat this valve?" ”
