For the two people who came suddenly, Pei Qing was naturally very happy, he originally felt that he should not favor one over the other, since they had already matched the genes of the Yin brothers, and they were not inferior to the Xie family's father and son, and by the way, they also gave Xie Lingyun's father and son a face, but when Pei Qing asked the Xie father and son to pull out their hair and test their genes, he found that there were only two characters who could match these two talent types, and the importance of these two characters was too great, and the influence was much greater than that of the Yin brothers.

In fact, although the role of Yin Hao and Yin Zhongkan is not small, but if there is something like defection, the loss is not too big, but the two characters who match the genes for the Xie father and son are too powerful, if they have two hearts, they will definitely make Pei Qing hurt their muscles and bones, and they must not be easily granted, so Pei Qing said to their father and son: "Recently, in order to recruit talents, I have continuously broken through the taboo, and the last time I took the elixir for Zhang Zi and the three of them in one go, it was already a serious injury, and I should have recuperated for a month before the elixir could be granted again." , But now it is only a few days, and I have broken through the taboo again and administered the elixir for Yin Hao and Yin Zhongkan, which has led to the almost exhaustion of vitality, so even if I think about it in my heart, I can't do it, otherwise once the heavens send a disaster, I will have a catastrophe. ”

Since Pei Qing said so, where did the Xie family and his son dare to say anything? Hurriedly blushed and apologized to Pei Qing, in fact, now of course they don't care about Pei Qing's elixir, but they can accept the result of serving Pei Qing here even if Pei Qing doesn't give the elixir, because in their opinion, they are famous for their filial piety in the township, and the famous Yin Hao and Yin Zhongkan are willing to serve Pei Qing, which is enough to prove that Pei Qing is a master worthy of allegiance, in this case, how could they give up such an opportunity?

So they didn't mention leaving, but said that they would do their best for Pei Qing, hoping that Pei Qing would not dislike it.

"My cousin, why did you suddenly change your mind? Before he came, he was disdainful of the lord, and just had the attitude of looking, but now his attitude has changed greatly, and he is willing to stay without taking the elixir, is it really because of this Yin Hao and Yin Zhongkan? It's really weird, were they famous before? At least I haven't heard of it. ”

Xie Yingdeng scratched his head and looked at the father and son with an incredulous expression, he really didn't know what to say.

However, Pei Qing knew that this was because the high fame of Yin Hao and Yin Zhongkan was playing a role, and he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, it seemed that people with high prestige were cool.

However, even so, Pei Qing did not immediately grant them the genes of famous generals, of course, there are factors that are too important for their genes of famous generals, and the most important thing is that their loyalty is not guaranteed, Pei Qing can't base his subordinates' loyalty to himself on the basis of external forces such as Yin Hao and Yin Zhongkan, but needs them to be absolutely loyal to themselves from the bottom of their hearts.

Therefore, Pei Qing has to observe, unless they are absolutely loyal to themselves from the bottom of their hearts, he will grant them the gene of famous generals.

At this time, Deng Dang reported in the account, saying that Chen Wang, Liu Chong, and Chen Guoxiang Luo Jun came to see him off in person.

Pei Qing was very happy when he heard this, and had a warm conversation with the two, and then left Chen County and went to the direction of Qian County.

Although Yuan Shu seems to be ambitious and talented, he actually has a certain ability, otherwise he would not have laid down a large piece of land, and he still has the courage to be the emperor.

His previous calculations actually had a good chance of winning according to general speaking, he personally led an army of 50,000 to attack Yingchuan, which had only 10,000 troops, and at the same time sent his general Ji Ling to lead an army of 80,000 to guard Qiaoxian, in this case, there was almost no danger of defeat, and he could also put Pei Qing in danger.

Ji Ling is also full of absolute confidence in himself, believing that he can not only defend Qian County, but also counterattack Pei Qing, and he can kill Pei Qing in one battle, lose his armor and abandon his armor.

"Pei Qingxiao'er was lucky not to die in Guanzhong, and he also forcibly brought his subordinates in Xinfeng to Yingchuan, do you think it is enough to challenge our army? He is really arrogant, he doesn't know how many pounds and taels he has, hehe, the general of the defeated army, how can he be brave? He was defeated under the Xiliang army, and he was also vulnerable in front of our army, and recently let him see the power of our army, I want him to regret provoking our army! ”

Ji Ling's face was full of disdain, the 80,000 army was all deployed at the junction from Chen Guo to Qian County, he was the first fierce general under Yuan Shu, and he was also the first right-hand man, it can be said that he was experienced in a hundred battles, extremely rich in combat experience, and the army led by his command was also the elite of the world, and he had led the army to defeat the Xiliang Army, and Pei Qing was the defeated general of the Xiliang Army, how could he compare with himself?

However, Ji Ling will not be stupid enough not to defend, and because Chen Guo itself has tens of thousands of arms, it is impossible not to deploy defenses in the territory of Peiguo controlled by Yuan Shu, Ji Ling's city defense in Qian County was reinforced, and he ordered the soldiers to dig several deep ditches around the city, and then relied on this to prepare to make a good break with Pei Qing.

Pei Qing set up the camp in the territory of Qiao County, which is nearly 30 miles away from the county seat, which can be attacked and defended, and the water source is convenient, it is an ideal campsite.

Just after setting up camp, Pei Qing heard the news from the spies that Ji Ling was strictly guarding the city.

After the news came, Xie Lingyun, Tang Bohu and others were all worried, because the other party put on a stubborn posture, and the number of people was superior, the other party seemed to be invulnerable, and it was simply difficult to defeat.

However, Pei Qing didn't care at all, in his opinion, Ji Ling was a brave and resourceless representative, although the opponent's defense seemed to be as solid as a rock, he could easily crack it.

So Pei Qing did not march, every day in the camp to drink with the generals, even Zhang Chao, who had just been appointed by Pei Qing as the left army division, and Xun You, who was appointed as the right army division, also joined in, and after drinking, they even played a game called chess, this kind of chess imitates military warfare, there are chariots, horses, artillery, etc., each kind of chess piece has a special way of marching, the purpose of which is to carry out the decapitation action, and the side that captures the opponent's main general declares victory.

Now both Zhang Chao and Xun You are very addicted to this kind of game, even Cai Yong is obsessed, but Cai Yong is not good enough at the art of war, in this case, he actually worked hard to study the art of war, in addition to studying the art of war, Cai Yong will also pull Tang Bohu and Xie Lingyun, the two literati, sometimes give lectures for them, and sometimes let them accompany them to play chess.

These two people have now been favored by Cai Yong, and have been accepted as disciples under the disciples, and their knowledge has grown rapidly under Cai Yong's training, so they admire the teacher even more, and they dare not refuse Cai Yong's request, but they always feel uneasy in their hearts, because there is not much grain and grass in the army, and they can only support it for a month at most.

So after the two of them discussed, they jointly broke into Pei Qing's big tent, bowed respectfully to Pei Qing, and then said loudly: "Lord, now Ji Ling is sticking to the county town and guarding it as solid as a rock, and our army now only has a month's grain and grass, how to deal with it, and ask the lord to judge." ”

Seeing this, Pei Qing laughed and said: "Lingyun, Bohu, you two are worried about the battle situation, I am very relieved by this, but the matter of combat is by no means as simple as attacking and defending, although the clever man is sticking, I can make him have nothing to defend, you can rest assured, I have a good strategy to break the enemy in my heart, and I will definitely be able to break the enemy in less than five days." ”
