Chapter 11, Xuchang City

Pei should see Pei Shi again, he is not as stunned as he was before, and he didn't care that Jiao An was next to him, he directly bowed down and called him "aunt". When Pei suddenly saw him, he couldn't help but be shocked, and blurted out: "Didn't Wen Yue escape?" But then he noticed that Pei Gai was no longer dressed sloppily in the stable that day, but changed into a clean crown dress, and couldn't help but look pale: "Could it be that you finally lowered the Hu people?!" ”

As she spoke, she turned her face away. Pei Cai stood up and glanced at Jiao An, which means: You get out first, let our aunt and nephew say a few whispers. Seeing this situation, Xuan An was a little embarrassed, but fortunately, it turned out that this old woman was Concubine Pei, and he did not inadvertently offend Pei to death, so he was still quite comfortable, so he smiled and said to Pei's family: "Pei Lang is dedicated to saving the princess, so he is willing to surrender to my lord, and Hugh has let him live up to his kindness." Then he turned and went out with a curtain.

Pei should wait until there were only two aunts and nephews left in the tent, then he got closer, lowered his voice and said to Pei Shi: "How can my nephew bear to be humiliated by my aunt, so I have to give in. ”

Pei Shi frowned, glanced at him from the corner of his eye, and said sharply: "What does it matter about my honor or disgrace?" You bend down to do things, what face do you have to worship your ancestors again?! ”

Pei Gai couldn't help but pout: "My father also succumbed to the Jia family......" At the beginning, Jia Nanfeng launched a coup d'Γ©tat, successively killed Yang Jun and Sima Liang and others, and ruled the government alone, and later killed the crown prince Sima Shu, everyone in the government and the opposition looked sideways, but Pei Yan, as a servant, didn't even dare to put a fart, and could only look up to Jiahou's snort, and it didn't necessarily have much brilliance.

Pei Shixiu was stunned: "You are a crazy and rebellious son, how dare you dare to be the first king?!" ”

Before Pei Cai's words came out, he knew that he would be scolded by the other party, and when he heard the words, he quickly turned around: "If you can make the world safe, you will not be dishonored by your ancestors." "The reason why Pei Yan's reputation is not too stinky, and even Shi Le reveres him, is because under the wing of Jia Nanfeng, he worked together with Zhang Hua and others, and he still barely stabilized the situation so that it would not completely collapse, and he had to die a good death...... That's why the big guy will add some sympathy points to him. I'm also helpless now, just to save your life - I am willing to suffer humiliation to save the elder, who can say that it is wrong? The key depends on what I do next, and I can make a final decision on the coffin in the future, so as to determine whether I have the face to go underground to see my ancestors.

Pei Shi turned his face slightly, his eyes were like electricity, staring at Pei Gai's face tightly, and asked in a deep voice, "Can you not fall into the father's will?" ”

Pei Caixin said that Pei Kai has some great ambitions, I want to be like him, it is better to just scold Hu and find death...... But he replied: "Before Jin Wenzun, he also went to Chu ......" and at the same time gave Pei Shi a slight look.

The words can only be said so vaguely, and it is necessary to prevent the tent from having ears - I guess there must be. Pei Gai searched his memory last night, knowing that his aunt was smart and read a lot, not just an ordinary deep boudoir woman who knew a few big words, I believe that she can understand her words, and she should be able to understand the meaning of her own eyes.

Thinking that in the early Spring and Autumn Period, Chu was a barbarian, and the princes of the Central Plains often used the banner of "respecting the king and conquering the emperor" in order to seek hegemony, so they would inevitably fight with the Chu State. Jin Wen Gong Chong'er is the natural overlord who inherited Qi Huan's public cause, and his banner of "respect" is higher than anyone else, but before returning to the country and succeeding to the throne, he was all over the world, and he once went to King Chu Cheng to ask for assistance - this is a "curve to save the country" road.

However, Pei Gai said this, in fact, his face was quite panicked, he knew that his current behavior could not be compared with Jin Wengong, but he couldn't think of a better example for a while. Fortunately, in these years, the national ideology is not strong, and the destruction of the Central Plains by the Hu people has not yet reached the extreme - in fact, compared to the princes of the Sima family, it may not be far behind-let alone "traitor". The opposition between Jin and Han was more important than the opposition between Zhou and Chu, and the people of the time valued rebellion and enemy countries more than necessarily the division between Hu and Han.

Generally speaking, at this time, the Central Plains people, especially the scholars, despised and despised the Hu people more than they hated - the Hu people and other beasts were like beasts, and these beasts referred to cattle and horses, not tigers and wolves. Of course, the common people who were actually harassed and slaughtered by the Hu people probably had different ideas, and in a few decades, even the perception of the scholars would change.

It seemed that Pei Gai's words didn't have much effect, but his last look still touched Pei's family. Pei Shi couldn't help but glance out of the tent, and then snorted coldly: "I hope what you say is pure from your heart!" Pei Cai hurriedly bowed: "I still hope that my aunt will supervise." ”

He was really afraid that Pei would be like Xu Shu's old lady in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and he would hang himself directly with a rope, so when he came back this time, he would become completely meaningless. Fortunately, Pei's family doesn't have such tendons, and he doesn't have the so-called "martyrdom" heart that later generations of Confucianism will follow, although he still has a cold face, he has no intention of begging for death, and he does not exclude Pei from pulling her out of the slave pile.

Pei Gai didn't read carefully in his previous life, and he didn't find this Concubine Pei from the corner of the history books - maybe he had read it, but then he threw it into the back of his mind, and he had no memory - in the world that he crossed over, Concubine Pei was captured by the Hu people and was repeatedly resold, until more than ten years later, by chance, she fled to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, if she was psychologically fragile, or conversely too strong, she probably found a chance to die.

The history books say: "Emperor Yuan (Emperor Sima Rui of the Jin Dynasty) built Ye, Concubine Pei's meaning is also, and the emperor is deeply virtuous." This is what Pei said to Pei Gai: "In the past, I persuaded Brother Ru to go to Jianye with Wang Xuantong's descendants...... Whether it is Sima Rui or Wang Dao and Wang Dun brothers, they all miss Concubine Pei's grace because of this, so Concubine Pei, who has survived the catastrophe, can be treated super in Jiangdong and live her ......

The place where Shile camped was not too far from Xuchang City, and the army set off from the village before noon, crossed the Weishui, and arrived at the destination before it was dark. The remaining generals led by Diao Ying, Taobao, Zhixiong, and Zhang Bin all waited outside the city gate in advance to greet them.

When the generals looked at it from afar, they saw thousands of horsemen coming in a surge, and when they came to the front of them, they separated from the left and right, and lined up beside the road, and three horsemen galloped out in the middle. Naturally, it was Shi Le himself in the middle of the room, and the other two horses, one left and one right, were half a horse's head behind Shi Le, the one on the left was the general Jiao'an, and the one on the right horse was a young man dressed in Jin clothes, and he looked very raw.

Peach Leopard and Zhixiong glanced at each other, and explained in their hearts that the Duke had recruited some Central Plains scholars again? To be honest, they don't look down on the scholars in the "gentleman's camp", this is not out of the hostility of the Hu people to the Central Plains, but purely rooted in the inferiority complex of the big boss in front of the cultural people, this inferiority complex is easy to transform into self-esteem and pride, and often self-hypnotizes to think: The world has to rely on a knife and a gun to fight out, just a few words are useless? !

Of course, they are still very convinced by Zhang Bin, the governor of the "Gentleman's Battalion", because they are really capable, and they are expected to be in the enemy's all-encompassing situation, but the other scholars are far behind, in addition to helping to write some official documents or something, do they have any other advantages? This time, Ming Gong simply recruited a young man whose hair had not yet grown, what did he think in his heart?

Zhang Bin's thoughts were naturally different from those Hu generals, he saw the young man's dress from a distance, and he was first happy in his heart - adding any Central Plains scholar in the Shile group was equivalent to increasing his power and speaking power of Zhang Mengsun. But when he got closer, he saw that the man only had a faint beard on his lips and chin, and he was very young, what could such a young person do? Why was he hit by Shiler?

This young scholar is naturally Pei Gai, his main job is to be a free rider, the marquis of Nanchang County, the third rank, should have worn a three-beam crown and a red ribbon silver seal. But since he has descended to the stone, he is no longer a Jin official, so although he changed into the Jin official clothes captured by the Hu people, he left the crown and ribbon, and wore a black cloth on his head - compared to the dress in Ningping City that day, in addition, he also went to the waist to bring a white cloth strip of filial piety for Sima Yue. It is estimated that if he is fully dressed, he can rush Zhang Bin's head - Zhang Bin's father has been a Taishou, the fifth grade, he himself has only served as the governor of the Zhongqiu King's account, and later voted for Shile to be a military merit Cao and a gentleman's camp supervisor...... It's all outside the establishment, and it's far from the three-rank official that is one day and one place.

But maybe Zhang Bin will think: I have great ambitions and good intentions, but I don't reuse them for the Jin Tianzi, this yellow-mouthed son has a three-grade position, so the Jin Dynasty will be finished, it is really a manifestation of heaven!

Zhang Bin is quite sure of Shi Le's ability and vision - thinking that he hit the door at the beginning, Mao recommended himself and voted for Shi Le, just because "I have watched many generals, and General Duhu can achieve great things together", although it is not as good as the three thatched houses, it can also be compared to Liu Bei of Fa Xiaozhi - he thinks that Shi Le will not casually stuff a young man to him. So when the two sides met, they each dismounted, and after saluting Shile first, he looked at Pei Gai and asked politely: "Sir, please ask for your name?" ”

Shi Le lifted the horsewhip and pointed at Zhang Bin: "This Zhang Mengsun of Zhao County is my Zhang Zifang." Then he introduced Pei Gai to Zhang Bin: "Therefore, Pei Lang, the son of Julu Chenggong." ”

Peach Leopard, they are still wondering, who is this "Julu Chenggong"? Is there anyone with the surname "Julu" in the world? Or is his hometown in Julu, and this person's surname is Cheng...... Then why is his son's surname Pei? Zhang Bin's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly surrendered his hand: "It turned out to be a descendant of Duke Pei, Zhang Bin is polite." ”

Pei Gai returned the salute and reported his name, while looking at the famous Zhang Mengsun. During the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, there were three of the most famous strategists, who were themselves scholars from the Central Plains, but they served the Hu regime and created a great career, Zhang Bin was the first one, followed by Wang Meng and Cui Hao. If you want to put it aside from later generations, it is a proper "big traitor", but there was no Han nationality in the real sense in these years, and those Hu people later integrated into the Han family one after another, and the ethnic contradictions at that time were not as fierce as many people in later generations thought - at least not as fierce as the class contradictions - in all fairness, they should not be too harsh.

- If it weren't for this, Pei Gai wouldn't dare to make up his mind and temporarily "stoop to do things".

Among the three strategists, Pei Gai only admired Wang Meng and looked down on Cui Hao the most, as for Zhang Bin, he was also between the two. He saw that Zhang Bin was in his forties, not tall, but his physique was quite imposing, his face was dark, and his long beard was over his abdomenβ€”much more majestic than his own little white face. Especially under Zhang Bin's pair of arrow eyebrows, his eyes are bright, and his eyes are like lightning and swords, and when he sweeps over, he seems to be ripping out his internal organs. Pei Gai was afraid that he would see through his thoughts, so he couldn't help but turn his eyes to one side.

Shi Le said, I will hand over Pei Lang to Mr. Zhang now, and you can find a place for him to live and settle down. Then he raised his whip and pointed it: "Enter the city!" ”
