Zhen Sui hasn't left the city yet, not long after leaving the government office, he fought with the Wubao advocate who originally occupied the city, and the news was reported to the back hall dormitory, Pei Cai couldn't help but be stunned, he said in his heart I just saw that the two guys didn't seem to have a good conversation, arms around their shoulders, just like a conjoined baby staggering out, why did they turn their faces so quickly? Then his eyebrows straightened: "That barbarian, if you eat too much wine, you will make trouble!" As he spoke, he didn't have time to wipe his feet, so he jumped out of the copper basin wet, wanting to wait to go and scold.

Zu Ti smiled and handed over the hand towel: "Wen Yue doesn't have to be anxious, wipe his feet, put on his shoes and socks, and then say - although it is midsummer, the ground is cold, and Hugh will be infected with the wind cold." I think they must be angry because of alcohol, so they don't need to be severely reprimanded, just scold them casually. ”

When the two of them rearranged their clothes and returned to the front yard, they saw a large group of people gathered around, and Zhen Sui and Zhang Ping both had black blue on their faces, but they still held each other's arms unrelentingly—but it was obvious that Zhen Sui had the upper hand, and Zhang Ping seemed to be almost pressed to the ground by him.

Pei Gai scolded angrily: "Don't let go yet - why are you, a barbarian, drunk and fighting with General Zhang?" ”

Zhen followed the "hum", and then let go of Zhang Ping. Before he could speak, Zhang Ping first arched his hand upwards and said: "It was the last general who made a careless speech and offended Pei Yuanjun, but he had already apologized to Governor Zhen, but he didn't give up, and the last general who started to fight first......"

Zu Tiyi frowned: "How did you offend Pei Yuanjun?" ”

Zhang Ping showed an embarrassed look, and he didn't dare to answer, Zhen shouted with a stalk around his neck: "It's a good thing to say, I saw that they all admired the governor very much, and they persuaded him to drink again, so I asked Zhang Ping, saying that you are in Yuzhou, do you also know the name of my governor?" Zhang Ping said: 'Why don't you know the name of Tu'er? ’”

As soon as these words were spoken, many people next to them looked embarrassed. Pei Cai couldn't help but tilt his lips and let out a soft "tsk".

As for his new nickname, he himself spread spies everywhere, so naturally he had heard about it for a long time. In Xuzhou, especially in Huaiyin County, he killed the owner of the dock fort, the good things did not go out, and the bad things spread thousands of miles, and even the lord of the dock fort in the land of Yan and Yu were all terrified when they heard the news, so they created such a "nickname". Pei Gai once felt very angry, Gou Xi was ruined, killed the soldiers, and got the name of "Tu Bo", I just slaughtered a few people, and it was also named a "Tu" word?

Moreover, Shi Le, Wang Mi, and even Wang Dun must have killed more people than themselves, but they were only slightly inferior to Gou Xi, so no one was chewing their tongues behind their backs, how could it be their turn to get this "honor"? But when he thought about it again, he was relieved, this was actually a very simple ass problem. Gou Xi killed the soldiers, and the scholars got the "slaughter" number; He killed a few dock castle owners, so the dock castle owners in other states and counties were naturally frightened; As for those who killed the common people, the common people have no right to speak, so it is impossible for any rumors to spread.

And it is said that his new nickname has brought a lot of benefits to Zu Ti. Many Wubao owners in Yan and Henan Prefecture heard about Pei Gai's deeds, and they talked about it, saying that fortunately it was the ancestor who came to us, not Pei Yuanjun, otherwise you and I would not be able to escape the fate of family ruin. It is said that the grain and materials of the ancestral envoy are mostly provided by Pei envoy, maybe he will also want to meddle in the affairs of Yan and Yu in the future, let's still supply the ancestral envoy, don't let him live in the state......

When the ancestors conscripted troops and collected food, the owners of the fort were all bitter, and when they heard about Pei Gai's deeds, compared with the two, they deeply felt that the ancestor envoy was really a virtuous official. If we don't obey the orders of the virtuous officials and accidentally exchange them for "Tu'er", I'm afraid it will be too late to regret it!

It is said that a nursery rhyme was also circulated because of this, saying: "Grandpa is everywhere, and the army and the people are blocked; If Tu'er comes, the ruins of the dock tomb. ”

So Pei Gai was angry for a while, and then put the matter behind him. He said in his heart whatever you say, Zu Shizhi has to rely on you, the lord of the dock fort, I have nothing to ask for from you, those who are willing to obey orders can live, and those who refuse to obey orders will die! I can't control the affairs of Yan and Yu for the time being, and any "Tu Bo" and "Tu Er" are all spring breezes.

I will be in the name of the heroic in my subordinates, the virtuous among the scholars, the name of conservation among the people, and the name of wisdom and courage among the enemy...... There is really no need to take it too seriously to what the Dock Fort Lord thinks of himself.

But when he heard from afar that someone arranged himself like this, and the actual hearing in his ears was naturally different, Pei should have sighed, but he couldn't think of how to reprimand Zhen Sui - now that Pei and Zu are fighting side by side, it stands to reason that they should try to bridge the gap between the two sides, even if they take one more step back; But Zhen Sui is not angry because others curse him, and he is loyal and commendable, if he is strict and responsible, he is afraid that he will cold the hearts of his subordinates.

Fortunately, Zu Ti spoke: "Today's funeral, for the imperial court to abandon you, you and others began to build a dock fort to protect the place, although it is meritorious, it is also stealing the government of the state and county." I and Pei envoy Jun have arrived, and you should serve your life wholeheartedly to atone for the sin of lawlessness and self-dictatorship, and those who still refuse to bow down and obey orders should be eliminated by yourself, so that the military orders and government affairs will be purely out of the public door. The people killed by Pei Yuanjun are all outlaws, why is it called 'slaughter'? Zhang Ping, why don't you come and apologize to Pei Yuanjun? ”

Zhang Ping did not hesitate, and hurriedly bowed forward, prostrate and bowed. Pei Gai was about to support him with both hands, when he heard Zhen Sui shouting next to him: "Gou Xi was killed by the governor of my family, he is 'Uncle Tu', how can the governor of my family be a 'butcher', how dare he say that he is 'Tu'er'?!" ”

Pei Cai heard this, and almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of old blood - I relied on the fact that you beat Zhang Ping for this reason? Then even I have to cry out for Zhang Ping!

He picked up Zhang Ping with both hands, and scolded Zhen Suidao: "If you don't learn from a barbarian, where is there any 'Tu Gong' in the world?!" ”

"Uncle Tu" is a proper noun, and it is said that when the cool official Yan Yannian was the Taishou of Henan, he was tortured and killed, "Winter Moon, the county prisoner, will discuss the house, shed blood for several miles, and Henan is called 'Uncle Tu'". Therefore, this term refers specifically to cool officials and officials who are easy to kill, and "Bo" is neither a knighthood, nor does it mean that this person is relatively old - how can it be possible to make up a "butcher"?

Of course, "Tu'er" is indeed not a good word, and "Er" has a contemptuous meaning, probably because the owners of the Dock Fort look at their young age, so they are named after the word "Er......

——————————

Pei Gai forced Zhen Sui to apologize to Zhang Ping, and then dispersed the crowd and returned to the inner room with Zu Ti.

The two of them took advantage of the wine, spread out the map, pointed out the situation in the world, and talked for most of the night. According to Zu Ti's meaning, since Pei Gai has brought troops over, he might as well join himself and seek Henan again, but Pei Gai shook his head and politely refused:

"Zu Jun wrote to him before, although the battle of Jiaxian was won, the elite of the department suffered a lot of losses, and the Yan and Yu forts had different intentions - you must know that most of them are villains, afraid of power but not virtue, and it is not as easy to govern as the people of the household, it is my ......" I want to carefully tell Zu Ti about his experience of destroying the Wubao in the jurisdiction, and then think about it, I have talked about this matter more than once through correspondence, but Zu Shizhi can't listen to it, the main thing is that he is too eager for quick success, so it is useless for me to spit on the stars. So he paused, restrained his thoughts, turned back and said: "Therefore, Pei Mou came here because of the prestige of the Zhuangzu Jun, and he was calm and uproarious. As for attacking Henan again, I'm afraid the time has not yet come......"

Pei Gai said, there has been a lot of unstable movement in Jiangdong recently, if we wait for the north, but Jiankang is tied up from behind, I am afraid that there is no way back, and it will be more difficult to succeed - "If you take Henan, Guanzhong is easy to consolidate, that is, Chang'an is trapped by thieves, and the Son of Heaven can also flee to his hometown, how can Jiankang want to see this?" I have passed Yan and Yu, and I am still waiting to go south to seek the fifth prosperity, his recent trend, can you see it? Since the imperial court worshiped the king of Langya and the governor of eastern Shaanxi, it was not appropriate to send the fifth governor to supervise the four prefectures of Jiangbei, and since he had already been sent, Jiankang did not allow him to enter Jing. The trend of fire and water in the north and south can be seen from this. ”

Zu Ti slammed the bed hatefully: "They are only thinking about their own power, and no one cares about the country's society!" ”

Pei Gai smiled slightly: "This is also inevitable." If you don't have your own power, how can you unify the military and government and expel the Hulu? In the troubled times, everyone can do and want to be Cao Cao! Today's momentum is like a serpent's two heads, which go against each other, and its body will be torn. And the north and south are separated by thousands of miles, the Son of Heaven is only a corner of the land, but the king of Langya is dying of Jianghuai, and the ministers are powerful, and the court cannot but rely on it, but it has to guard against it. And if the fifth sheng grows into Jing, then the appointment of the governor of eastern Shaanxi will be in vain......"

Zu Ti glanced at Pei Gai: "Wen Yue, does Qing also want to be Cao Cao?" ”

Pei Cai patted his chest: "Pei's heart, Zujun knows it, why bother asking?" However, although I have no intention of being subservient, if Jiankang sends someone to shepherd Xu for me, I will chase him away; Even if Chang'an sent an envoy to summon me into the customs, I insisted on not accepting it. Zujun, and ask yourself, if the two parties want to seize the king's military power, what will the king do? ”

Zu Ti replied without hesitation: "If there is a talented person, who is stronger than Zu, come to guard Yan and Yu, Zu should be whipped for it!" ”

"The foolish, the world's wise people, can follow the ancestors, guard the two states, control the heroes, and rejuvenate the Northern Expedition, I don't know who there are?"

When Zu Ti heard this, he couldn't help but hang his head and was silent for a long time.

To say that Zu Shizhi may be really selfless, but at the same time, he also thinks very highly of himself, looking around, he feels that only he can complete the great cause of the Northern Expedition, for now, he can't find a second person - Suo Qi, Xun Group, Wang Jun, and even the dead ghost Jia Kai, old friend Liu Kun, who can be better than himself? Then if someone else is in charge of Yan and Yu, will it be possible to succeed in driving Hu Dae? How can I hand over my military power?

So Pei should take the opportunity to say: "I will go to the ancestral king's place, for the king's momentum, and then I will go south and return along the river to deter Jiangdong and make Jiankang dare not restrain him." After a little accumulation, he can conspire with Zujun to restore the old capital and rescue Chang'an. Zu Jun, you must know that if you want to be fast, you can't reach it, Jun Qian's battle in Jiaxian is not thick, he is eager to send troops, and even his success is successful. At the end of the strong crossbow, it is impossible to wear Lu Min, if you don't take Luoyang step by step, even if you take Luoyang, I am afraid that you will not be able to go to Guanzhong anymore - please think twice. ”

Pei Gaizhen didn't think that relying on the 5,000 people under his command, he would be able to assist Zu Ti and successfully take Henan and fight against the Hu Han heavy army group, unless he emptied Xuzhou and led all the troops out. But first, I am really reluctant to Xuzhou's foundation, and secondly, there is no way back, once I encounter a setback, I am afraid that it will be difficult to recover - the risk and return are disproportionate.

He is familiar with the future, not to mention the Northern Expedition of Huan Wen, Liu Yu and others, let's just say that the peerless general Yue Pengju, 100,000 Yue family troops fought hard in Yancheng, and almost completely defeated the main army of Wushu, but as long as the gold medal in the rear arrived, he had to retreat if he didn't retreat. It's really not Yue Fei Yuzhong, the problem is that you lack the rear base, how can you drive straight into the river and cross the river to the north? And so - "Ten years of work, in one fell swoop!" All the counties that have been obtained will be closed in one day! It is difficult to prosper! The world of Qiankun has no reason to recover! "It has caused a great tragedy through the ages......

What kind of goods are Jiankang, Pei should know very well in his heart, they can let you Pei and Zu advance into Henan smoothly, and even rescue Sima Ye? Unless you have the ability to turn your face at any time, you can directly point to Jiankang's strength! And even if you really have the strength, if the other party can't see it, or is blind, you still have to make small moves behind your back, it's also disgusting, you can't really risk the world's condemnation, don't kill Hulu, but go to the governor of eastern Shaanxi first.

In this year, the world is still the world of scholars, after all, it is still the world of imperial power, once it deviates, the thousand people point out, and my own camp may fall apart in an instant...... Every time Pei Gai thought of this, he couldn't help but be a little envious of Shi Le, in this regard, the natural confinement of the foreign race was probably a little smaller......

But even so, Shile had to rely on the Hu Han regime first, and only when his power was strong did he dare to stand on his own, didn't he?
