Of course, Pei Qing didn't know about the conversation between Jia Xu and Li Dao and others, but Pei Qing was still quite happy now, because this battle had won a big victory, killing more than 2,000 enemies, capturing more than 4,000, and only three or four thousand people escaped, which was definitely a big blow to the morale of the Xiliang rebels, while the morale of his own army was greatly boosted, and many people began to gradually build up confidence.

Xu Rong's heart was also very happy, because Lu Bu fulfilled his promise to him and sent a large number of troops to support him so quickly, but it made him feel a little regretful that the commander in chief of the army was not him, but a young man named Pei Qing, although in the process of fighting, he also saw that the other party commanded the troops to be invincible, but after all, it was only against Wang Fang, and it was still in the case of numerical superiority, once the advantage of superiority and disadvantage reversed, could Pei Qing still be undefeated? Even he himself was not sure, let alone the young man.

However, no matter what the final result is, he must take into account the overall situation, unite the reinforcements, and jointly resist the attack of the rebels, and he believes that after hearing the news, Li Daoguo will immediately launch a retaliatory action, and then it will be more than 100,000 people storming this small city together, and then it will be the time to see life and death.

Therefore, after Xu Rong waited for the enemy army to retreat, he immediately opened the city gate to welcome Pei Qing into the city, and welcomed the arrival of Pei Qing's army very warmly.

Pei Qing is now deliberately wooing Xu Rong, so as soon as he came up, he praised Xu Rong for his good command, proper deployment, and calm defense of the city.

Xu Rong just smiled faintly when he heard this, but he didn't say anything, because in Xu Rong's opinion, the reason why the other party praised him so much was just to let his people back for him, although he was willing to serve the country, but he would not be used as a gun by others.

Then Pei Qing convened a meeting of all the soldiers to discuss the next strategy.

At the beginning of the meeting, Pei Qing praised Hu Zhen's merits in today's battle, and announced that his army would be returned to him.

After Hu Zhen heard this scene, he immediately stood up and saluted Pei Qing respectfully: "Dadu Governor, the last general neglected military law when he was in Chang'an, fortunately, the Dadu Governor was generous and spared my life, and because of this, the end of today will be able to make a small contribution, and the grace of the Dadu Governor will be repaid by the last general." ”

Later, when the military meeting was held, Xu Rong put forward a strategy, select an army to be stationed outside the city, so that once the enemy army attacked the city, the garrison outside the city would attack the siege force, and if the enemy attacked the garrison, the defending force would take the initiative to attack, and the two sides would be horns with each other, just like today, cooperate with each other, and attack the enemy on the back and back.

At this time, I saw Hu Zhen take the initiative to ask: "The last general is willing to lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to garrison outside the city, and the defenders in the city of the Metropolitan Governor are the horns of each other, let's work together to break the thieves." ”

Xu Rong was very surprised by Hu Zhen's performance, but he also knew that Hu Zhen was impatient and not suitable for such a thing at all, if he was allowed to do it, he would definitely lose.

However, Xu Rong didn't say it, he wanted to see what kind of reaction Pei Qing had.

However, I didn't expect Pei Qing to praise: "General Hu is so anxious for justice and righteousness, Pei is really moved, since this is the case, the general will lead your headquarters to garrison outside the city, in addition to this, I will send General Zang Ba to go outside the city with you, after all, the thieves are strong, and it is more dangerous to be stationed outside the city, we need to have enough troops, at least when the enemy army attacks our garrison outside the city, we can support the rescue in the city, of course, this time, since it was General Hu you proposed, I still take you as the main general in the camp, However, general, you must be cautious, remember, the enemy does not move, I do not move, and only when we are sure that the enemy army is really attacking, can we start the operation. ”

"Rest assured, the Governor knows what to do." Hu Zhen listened to Pei Qing's words, he was very happy in his heart, he felt that he finally had the opportunity to surrender to the Xiliang Army, and when Pei Qing was captured in the future, he must torture the other party well to repay the hatred of being humiliated by him in the past.

Xu Rong suddenly felt cold in his heart when he saw this scene, Hu Zhen went out of the city, I'm afraid that things are really developing in a bad direction, Pei Qing really doesn't know people.

But at this time, Xu Rong couldn't help but speak, after all, everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, so Xu Rong arched his hand and said: "Governor, think twice about this matter, although Hu Zhen is brave, but he is impatient and reckless, if he is stationed outside the city, I am afraid that something unexpected will happen." ”

However, Pei Qing waved his hand and smiled: "I'm afraid General Xu is too worried about this, I think General Hu is loyal to the country, and everything is based on the overall situation, this time he will definitely act cautiously." ”

Hu Zhen also said solemnly: "Please rest assured that the governor of the capital will be the head of the item as a guarantee, this time he will be cautious, if something happens, only the last will ask." ”

"Good! What we want is the courage to break the kettle, come and pour wine for General Hu, I want to toast General Hu in person! Pei Qing stood up, praised Hu Zhen, personally poured wine for Hu Zhen, and handed it to him.

Hu Zhen drank all the wine, and then said arrogantly: "This glass of wine is drunk, Metropolitan Governor, wait for the good news of the last general." ”

After finishing speaking, Hu Zhen got the arrow from Pei Qing, and went out to recruit troops and horses.

Seeing Hu Zhen leaving, Zang Ba also gave up his hand to Pei Qing, preparing to reorganize his soldiers and horses, and go out of the camp with Hu Zhen to garrison.

However, at this moment, I saw Pei Qing say: "Xuan is high and slow, I have something to tell you." ”

"I wonder what the Metropolitan Governor commands?" Zang Ba was stunned when he heard this, now that the military situation is urgent, he has an advantage when he leaves the city early, but he doesn't know why Pei Qing wants to stop him?

After Hu Zhen walked away, Pei Qing ordered his own soldiers to guard the big tent and not allow anyone to come in, so he said to the generals: "This time Hu Zhen took the initiative to ask Ying, there must be a problem, I asked him for being late before, he has long been resentful, so I dare to predict that as long as Hu Zhen goes out of the city, he will definitely surrender to the Xiliang army, I want to ask Xuangao to keep an eye on him, as long as I find a change and immediately shoot the arrow book into the city, I will immediately lead the troops out of the city, use Hu Zhen to launch a surprise attack on the Xiliang army, and win again, as long as we win this time, The morale of the Xiliang army will drop sharply, and there will be no capital to compete with us anymore, so the key to all this and the success or failure of the Han are all entrusted to the announcement. ”

After finishing speaking, Pei Qing also solemnly saluted Zang Ba to show his solemnity.

Seeing this, Zang Ba panicked and hurriedly returned the salute: "What is the Metropolitan Governor doing?" Loyal to the Han Dynasty, this is also the duty of the last general as a minister, please rest assured that the last general will live up to the trust. ”

"Okay, now that I've lowered the bait, I'm just waiting for the fish to take the bait, and I believe that this time I will definitely catch a big fish." Pei Qing's face was full of smugness, and he said with a faint smile.
