Liu Yao and Liu Yongming, although they are the nobles of Tu, but they read less poetry and books, understand all the six classics, have beautiful words, and are much stronger than Pei Gai in cursive writing. Young, Liu Yao traveled to Luoyang, accidentally broke the law, was wanted, he was rescued by Cao Sui and others, and fled to North Korea in one go. After returning from pardon, he thought that he was handsome and mighty, and he was afraid that he would not be allowed to live in the world, so he lived in seclusion in Guanshui Mountain, and only read books and played the piano for fun every day. Before the age of almost twenty-five, in addition to his good physique and diligent martial arts practice, Liu Yao was no different from an ordinary scholar.

That's why he said, I was also a scholar, how can I use the word "scholar" to despise people? Then he said: "That is, Han Guangwuyuan, who is just a scholar, fought in Kunyang at the age of twenty-nine, and became the son of heaven at the age of thirty-one...... And before the emperor's younger brother, he was broken by the Xuzhou army on the bank of the gutter; Recently, there has been a battle of defeated soldiers and Yan Division, and no one can be responsible for the strength of Yunxuzhou. How dare I despise the scholar who can resist this strong army? ”

Cao Sui said that since this is the case, although the imperial brother has already been sent back, Liu Dan and Chen Yuanda see that they are in the army, why not call them over and inquire in detail about the situation of Pei Gai and the Xuzhou army?

Liu Yao nodded, and immediately summoned Liu and Chen. Chen Yuanda didn't know much about military affairs and didn't dare to speak, while Liu Dan said: "In the battle of the ditch water, the Xuzhou army is only more than 2,000 people, and it can resist my tens of thousands of troops, this is not a general's ability, it is really an elite soldier......"

He said that the quality of the Xuzhou army he encountered was enough to be comparable to the elite of Tu Ge's own clan, and the only weakness was the lack of cavalry. There is a rumor: 'There is a bear in Xuzhou, and he does not dare to bully after being captured; There is a land in Xuzhou, and the army will be overthrown! 'Then its governor will be Xiong, and the deputy general Lu can also know ......"

There is also Liu Guang, who later captured Liu Dan's adopted son and bravely captured Chenggao Pass, which is said to be the "fire robbery camp" Governor Zhen, Liu Dan said, the king, you have to be careful of these three people, and the so-called Jiangnan famous general Tao Kan Tao Shixing.

It is estimated that among the four battalions in Xuzhou, the "martial arts battalion" ranks second, so the quality of the "Lifeng battalion", which ranks first, should not be worse than that of the "martial arts battalion", and the elite of Xuzhou must have at least four or five thousand; The "fire robbery camp" is supervised by the fierce general Zhen, and it should not be taken lightly. As for the other units of the Xuzhou Army, as well as Guo Mo and others, who are said to have been newly recruited, whether they can fight, I don't know.

Liu Yao smiled: "Guo Mo and I have dealt with me, and it is not easy to deal with him. Then he patted his knees and said that this is a strong enemy, Xiangguo and others thought that this Jin Division's Northern Expedition was only able to fight by Zu Ti's Yuzhou army, and the Xuzhou army could not care about it, believing that it was the enemy's trick. And now Zu Ti is in Henan, Hongnong, if he crosses Weishui from Huayin and marches urgently, it will only take ten days, but Feng Yi and Liu Yao really have no confidence to defeat the combined forces of Yu and Xu in one fell swoop.

As for Wannian's Koji Yun, Chang'an's Suo, and the soldiers and horses of other counties in Guanzhong, Liu Yao really didn't pay attention to it.

Cao Sui suggested: "Since the Xuzhou army is a strong enemy, we should temporarily avoid Pujin and Xiayang, and cross to the west of Sangjin by ourselves, so as not to ......attack the enemy in the middle of the road."

Liu Dan shook his head and said: "Although it is a strong enemy, after all, it has come from afar, its foothold is not stable, and Pei Wenyue is in the world, and he does not stay in Chang'an, but he goes north to the two counties, which is clearly excluded by Suo and Liang Fen, and the morale may not be strong." Now, while its camp is not complete and the city is not solidified, we should rush across the river to the west, and if it is delayed for a long time, I am afraid that it will really be uncontrollable. ”

Liu Yao bowed his head and said: "What the public says is true." ”

Liu Dan said: "Also play the Son of Heaven, please Da Dan Yu to attack Henan again, if you can tie up the Yuzhou army, then the Xuzhou army is brave, after all, there are less than 30,000 people, as long as the king is cautious with his troops, he can expect to win." If you want to be safe, you can send another envoy to eliminate the power channel, humble and generous money, and ask him to send troops ......"

Chen Yuanda, who was next to him, finally got the opportunity to interject, and immediately gave his hand: "Yuanda is guilty, and he has to be rescued by the king, and there is no way to repay him. ”

Liu Yao waved his hand: "I once clashed with Quan Qu, his soldiers are very sharp, and his son Yi Yu is brave, if you want to rely on the benefits of your tongue, I am afraid it will be difficult to reach the sky." Only the wealth and goods can be sent to help, but this matter is entrusted to Yuanda. ”

The plan has been decided, Liu Yao ordered the general Liu Yue to be the vanguard, planning to force the crossing of Xiayangjin, and then take advantage of Pei Cai's unstable foothold to go south to take Dali.

When Pei Cai arrived over there, he heard the news of Hu Jun's killing, and hurriedly discussed with Pei Wei. Pei Wei sighed and said: "Therefore, in the past, Wen Yue said that the north would take the second county, and I was worried about its suspense, and now it is really ......" But the afterthought should not be put more, just point it, so what should I do to deal with the current situation?

"Now that the cities have just fallen, the ferry has not yet been fortified and strictly guarded, and I am afraid it will be difficult to prevent the Hu army from crossing westward. The ministries should be recalled, the Dali should be guarded, and the strength of this city should be relied on to deal with Liu Yao for a long time. Let's go to Henan again, and ask the division of Zu Shizhifa to help each other......"

Pei Gai frowned and said: "Because I am married to Zu Shizhi, the achievements I have obtained are the credit of Yuzhou...... I wanted to rely on my own strength and lose here, and I didn't want to trouble Zu Mou...... "But the situation is like this, but I can't think about it" However, if Liu Cang crosses the river in the south again, I'm afraid Zu Shizhi will not be able to save me, right? ”

Pei Wei said that there was no need to worry: "Liu Cangchu is in turmoil, if Liu Yao does not travel far, how dare he leave Pingyang again?" If you stop sending other troops, you will be ...... The ability of Sizhou must be retreated. "Zu Ti should have the spare strength to support us

"And ask Koji Zhongke to lead his division to help ......"

Pei Cai glanced at Pei Wei, nodded and estimated that Lu Yun would definitely refuse to send troops to rescue, so we will have an excuse to clean him up in the future.

Pei Wei continued: "Although our army is elite, after all, the number is insufficient, and now we should urgently expect the people to be soldiers, that is, the Weibei Tunken, many of whom are the soldiers of the old Wubao Fort, and they can be reorganized and trained for the next day." "Since you plan to fight a long-term war with Liu Yao, it is necessary to replenish the source of soldiers, and it is impossible to bring people from Xuzhou now, so you can only recruit troops locally.

Pei Gai nodded and said that it was reasonable, and immediately ordered someone to summon Yin Qiao over.

Yin Qiao is a native of Hanoi, originally joined the army for Guo Mo, and was recently included in the scene by Pei Gai, and went to the "Thunder Battalion" with his cronie Pei Du. Although the contact time is not long, Pei Gai found that this Yin Qiao is loyal, and he is also very cautious and meticulous in his work, no wonder he can be valued by Guo Mo, the personalities of the two are completely complementary and they are very familiar with military affairs. Therefore, he handed over the matter of recruiting troops in Weibei Tunding to Yin Qiao.

As for Pei Shizhong himself, he will rest here for one night, and he will hurry back to Dali early tomorrow morning to organize the defense.

Pei Gai took care of it carefully, Yin Qiao got the order, did not dare to slack off, hurriedly went to the cantonment, gathered all the men, and the old and weak women and children did not need to see the seven or eight thousand people in Wuyangyang. Yin Qiao ascended and shouted: "As a Jin person, you will surrender when you come, you can still say that you are cowardly by nature, and you don't study, you have no loyalty, you just want to live; However, when the king arrived, he refused to eat the pot pulp and greet him, but resisted according to the base, and the sin was unforgivable!

"It's just that the first evil has been subdued, you can't wait for it, Pei Gong has the virtue of a good life, and now I give you a chance to be reborn. Anyone who can fight with arms and shoot a bow and arrow can be recruited into the army and kill Hu in front of the battle to atone for his sins. Those who have a skill, or can chop wood, or can make weapons, the shogunate can also recruit them to prepare armor and equipment for the army. The rest of them can be reclaimed here with peace of mind, and at the age of three, they will not resist or neglect their work, but they can be allowed to return to their hometowns, and they will be given land such as you, and they will be good people.

"Are you willing to wait?!"

This vote was broken through the dock fort by the Xuzhou army, forcibly captured, I have seen the Xuzhou army elite, fierce, not under the Hu soldiers, now people are swords, I am fish and meat, then of course what is said is what, how many dare to resist to the end? Those who dare to resist have been almost cut down on the road...... Immediately agreed in unison, some were willing to be soldiers, some were willing to work, and the vast majority of them said that they would farm well here.

Just give us food and feed us so that we can feed our families.

Yin Qiao was very satisfied with their reaction, and was about to step down from the high platform to do the specific affairs, when a lower-level assistant official went to actually handle it, and suddenly a person squeezed out of the crowd, came to the front of the stage, and bowed his hand to him, saying: "I am a Confucian scholar, I don't know how to fight, and I don't know how to work, I don't know how to work, I don't know how to work, I don't know how to work, but I have a long day, and I am asked to be excused and allowed to serve." ”

Yin Qiao looked this person up and down, and saw that he was about thirty years old, with delicate facial features, dignified appearance, and wearing a half-new robe, but he really didn't look like an ordinary person. So he bent down on the side of the stage and asked, "Who are you?" Who is the surname, who is the name, and why was he captured? ”

The man replied: "The villain is Feng Yi Daliren, whose surname is Youming, and the cursive characters are far away. He once raised filial piety and honesty, but the world was chaotic and not successful. Because he offended Feng Yi Liang Shou, he framed him and was imprisoned......"

The ancestor of the surname You is the son of Zheng Mugong in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the word Ziyou is based on the word of the ancestors, and he lives in Zuo Fengyi from the Han Dynasty, and is the surname of the county. The so-called "koji and you, cattle and sheep are not ......" Jincheng You clan is actually just a branch of Feng Yiyou's clan, but now the branch is prosperous, and the main branch is declining.

According to his own words, when he was fifteen years old, he went to Luoyang to study, and met Zhang Hua, who was very surprised after talking with him, and praised him: "Here is Yajie Hongfang, and Jinggong is also talented." "Of course, Zhang Hua's bones are rotten now, and he must not be able to stand up and testify.

Then in his early twenties, You Yao was raised to filial piety. Filial piety was the main rank of the Confucian scholars in the Han Dynasty, but this year only left a false name, filial piety may not be able to be an official, plus the world is becoming more and more chaotic, You Yao gradually indifferent to the idea of going out, just take care of the family industry in his hometown, and usually read and write for fun.

A few years ago, Liang Su served as Feng Yi's county guard, coveted You's property, and wanted to squeeze out some money, but was blocked by Youyao, and in a fit of anger, he sent someone to falsely accuse Youya of colluding with thieves and put him in prison. Soon after, Liu Yao led a large army to attack, and the northern counties fell one by one, Liang Su panicked, and the Hu army rangers had just appeared in the suburbs of Dali, so he took the initiative to abandon the defense and flee. So taking advantage of the fact that all the officials in Dali City were scattered and the Hu Han army had not yet arrived, the You clan robbed the prison and rescued You Yao, who had been tortured to the point of only half his life, and temporarily placed him in a dock fort outside the city to recuperate.

However, You Yao's injury had just healed, Pei Gai led the army north, all the way to the gods, the owner of the dock fort because he was unwilling to completely hand over the authority, a little resistance, was the Xuzhou army in half a day to break through the barrier, slaughtering his whole family Ding Nan. The soldiers, servants, peasants, old and weak women and children, as well as the sojourners of Youyao, were all tied with a rope and escorted to Weibei.

You Yao first saw that the Xuzhou army had no intention of slaughtering the fort, and his life was complete, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief; Then looking at their actions, it seems that they want to be in Tuntian, Weibei...... It's over, I won't farm at all, and don't look at the tall size, its strength is small, and it can't carry any hoes or rakes. For useful people, they are unwilling to distinguish between good and bad, and kill them all, Pei Shizhong is very merciful, so how can he be polite to useless people? See that your future will be bleak!

Besides, even if Pei Shizhong is a benevolent person, he can't see him, and the Xuzhou soldiers and officials who manage him are all fierce, and they are very terrifying!

You Yao planned countermeasures, and he couldn't sleep well for a few days, but fortunately there was a person who came over today, appeased people's hearts, and wanted to recruit soldiers and call workers, so You Yao immediately approached him Although his strength was small, his courage was big, otherwise Liang Su, who would not dare to stand on the guard of a county that day, opened his mouth and recommended himself, saying that I am a scholar, and it is useless for you to put me in the army or in the camp, but I can write and calculate, I hope to do my best and barely support myself.

Yin Qiao himself is not from a high background, so he is a little stronger than Guo Mo, but he is full of poetry and books, so he naturally has a good impression of readers, and they are all the same kind of people, plus I heard that this person has also raised filial piety, so he naturally did not dare to slack off, and immediately said: "Since you are a Confucian student, why is it not in the basil?" You can come with me, if you have something to gain, it is not a lie, and you should be recommended to Pei Gong. He knew that Pei was short of people in the scene, and ordinary officials had to be two envoys, and for him with a little ability, the courage on his shoulders was more than three times heavier than that of ordinary states and counties, and he was also eager to find someone to share.

So he led You Yao back to the county office, talked with him, couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly ran to see Pei Cai overnight because Pei Shizhong has always slept late, although Yin Qiao has not been in the curtain for a long time, it is already very clear that there is such a person, I tested it, he is proficient in history, elegant in rhetoric, excellent in calligraphy, and he is also from a famous local family, a small study tour, and he also has a wealth of knowledge about geography and human feelings, which can be of great use.

Pei Gai didn't pay much attention to the skillful history, elegant rhetoric, and excellent calligraphy at first? Although there is a shortage of people in my scene, this kind of knife and pen official has never been difficult to find, and when he heard that he was familiar with the surrounding geography, he naturally sat up straight, thought about it, and asked: "Qing Yan, who is this person's surname?" ”

Yin Qiao repeated: "The surname is famous, and the words are far away." ”

Pei Gai couldn't help but laugh "haha": "This big Linu is here!" ”
