Chapter 68: Jiuyuan Li Su
This time, Pei Qing did not share this wealth with the people, because this wealth was enough to arm an army of 10,000 people, and all the soldiers of their army rode three horses each, so they could take these treasures away, of course, in this process, they had to find loyal and reliable people to help him take them away.
So Pei Qing distributed these treasures to the two generals under his command and the five hundred righteous servants for safekeeping, of course, in the process they also gave some to Zang Ba, Zhang Chao and Xu Xuan, although each of them only gave a Hepu pearl, but it also made their hearts extremely excited, because this bead can be worth at least ten catties of gold, which is 100,000 or even hundreds of thousands if it is exchanged for five baht, which is already a lot of wealth.
However, what these people admired even more was that Pei Qing was relieved to hand over his wealth to so many people, could it be that all the soldiers under his command were so worthy of complete trust? None of them could have done such a thing.
Just after they had just finished dealing with this batch of treasures, they only heard that a spy came to report, saying that there was a troop of soldiers and horses in front, which seemed to have about 20,000 people, and was rushing in the direction of the camp, and it was still ten miles away from the camp, but because it was at night, the other party could not figure out the reality of his own side, so he camped ten miles away, and it was estimated that he would come early the next morning.
After hearing the news, Zhang Chao, Xu Xuan and the others were all nervous, and they suggested to Pei Qing that the army should evacuate quickly at night, believing that the other party would not find out, so that the next morning, the other party found that this was just an empty camp, and they could only be helpless.
However, Pei Qing said with a smile: "There is no need to be like this, I expected that the army that came this time would be a friend rather than an enemy, because if it was Dong Zhuo's old department, where would he dare to take the initiative to send troops to fight?" Of course, even if it is a friendly army, we can't fall into the prestige and let the other side look down on us, so early tomorrow morning, we will take the initiative to send troops to the outside of the opponent's camp. ”
"Huh? Even if it's really a friendly army, there's no need for us to take the initiative to demonstrate, right? In that case, if we provoke the other party, we will be miserable. After listening to Pei Qing's words, Zhang Chao's face changed, now is not the time to take the initiative to cause trouble.
However, Pei Qing did not pay attention to him, but ordered the officers and men of the whole army to relax their guard, rest for a night, wait until the fourth watch, and leave the camp at the fifth watch, and go to the outside of the "friendly army" camp ten miles away.
Because Pei Qing commanded the soldiers to win many battles, and each time his judgment was correct, everyone consciously obeyed his words now, and no one would speak out against it, so in the next step, the soldiers of the whole army withdrew their protection according to Pei Qing's instructions and rested well in the camp for a night.
At the fourth watch, with the sound of the guard beating the watch, the soldiers all woke up quickly, put on armor, brought weapons, got on the war horses, and gathered at the designated position.
Pei Qing was very satisfied with the efficiency of the soldiers, he nodded, and then passed the order, and the army set off immediately.
The distance of ten miles was not too far, and all the soldiers were on horseback, and it took less than a quarter of an hour to arrive.
When Pei Qing led the army to arrive, he found that there was a lot of panic in the other party's camp, but fortunately, the generals of this team were not too bad, and they were able to control the situation in time, and finally did not cause the collapse of the camp.
It wasn't until the time of a meal that I saw the camp open, and a member of the army put on a helmet and armor, and led the crowd to the outside of the camp, although there was a trace of panic on his face, but he still pretended to be calm, and asked loudly: "I am Wenhou Lu Bu's tent under the cavalry commander Jiuyuan Li Su, who was ordered by the Son of Heaven to pacify the traitor Niu Fu, I don't know where the team is in the camp?" If you help the court to quell the rebellion, you will definitely be rewarded for meritorious service in the future, and you will be knighted, if you insist on confronting the court, even if you are as strong as Dong Zhuo, you will definitely be wiped out in the end. ”
"It turned out to be General Li, I heard that General Li is Dong Zhuo's general, I didn't expect to become a hero of Sheji today, it is really gratifying, I am Nanyang Taishou, leading Yingchuan Taishou, Zhenwei Zhonglang General Pei Qing, on the order of Zhu Gong, the general of the right chariot cavalry, temporarily acting as the commander of the Zhongmu coalition army, on the order of Zhu Che Cai to lead the army to Chang'an Qinwang, broke Dong Yue's army in Michi, and got the head of Niu Fu by chance, I wanted to take this straight to Chang'an, but I didn't expect to meet General Li here."
"It turns out that Pei Taishou is at his feet, this is really a coincidence, Pei Taishou just said that Niu Fu is dead, I don't know if this is true?" When Li Su heard that the person who came was not an enemy, his tense heart suddenly relaxed, and when he heard that Niu Fu was dead, he was even more surprised, and hurriedly asked in order to get the exact news.
This is mainly because Li Su is very self-aware, he can't be Niu Fu's opponent at all, after all, the number of people is very different, he only has 20,000 troops under his command, while Niu Fu has more than 50,000 troops, and the quality of the soldiers on both sides is also very different, and he is also Dong Zhuo's old general, not the Shandong strongman that the Xiliang soldiers are afraid of, so the possibility of losing this battle is very high and with Lu Bu's temper, if he is defeated, he will definitely be severely punished after he goes back, not to mention the official position, Even if it was to save a life, it would be thankful.
And now that Niu Fu is dead, he is not only without fault, but has merit, which is of course a thing to be thankful for.
Therefore, Li Su is now very nervous about Niu Fu's life and death, because this is a matter of life for him.
So after getting Pei Qing's confirmation, Li Su immediately expressed extreme enthusiasm, praised Pei Qing and everyone, saying that Pei Qing was simply Sun Wu's talent, and he actually won more with less, killed Niu Fu, and made great contributions to the imperial court.
Of course, Pei Qing knew what Li Su meant when he said this, and he humbled a few words about Li Su's praise, and then proposed to go to Chang'an to report to Zhu Jun, and at the same time meet the Son of Heaven.
Li Su nodded knowingly and said: "The last general understands that this time is the time to show loyalty to the imperial court, Pei Taishou you go straight all the way, the Huayin Shou in front is Duan Xuan, this guy has now taken refuge in the imperial court, it is our people, I have a little friendship with him, so I will repair a letter to him, promising to treat Pei Taishou diligently, and the road from Huayin to Chang'an is unimpeded." ”
"In this case, then Qing will go first, Qing and General Li hit it off at first sight, and when they arrive in Chang'an in the future, they will definitely bother with a few glasses of wine." Pei Qing arched his hand to Li Su and turned around to leave.
"Haha, if Pei Taishou is willing to appreciate his face, it will be the luck of the last general's three lives, Pei Taishou will take the first step, and the last general will lead the army to clean up the battlefield in the Niu auxiliary camp, which can be regarded as an explanation to Wen Hou." After Li Su finished speaking, he waved goodbye to Pei Qing, and only when he saw Pei Qing's army disappear, he reluctantly returned to the camp.
