Pei Gai led his troops out of battle, and Pei Xiong followed closely by his side, holding a strong bow in his hand, and straddled the tall horse.

Pei Xiong was still nominally a slave of the Pei family, but Pei Gai gave him the treatment of a subordinate general, and allocated twenty horsemen to enter and exit the police to ensure his safety. Pei Xiong was not very accustomed to the general treatment of Pei Junzhong at first, and privately advised Pei Gai: "The lord treats him very well, and the food is too good, so how can it last for a long time?" ”

Thinking that Shile treats his subordinates, and Yu Lu cultivates his own tribe to be brave and strong, it is nothing more than this kind of treatment; Even if an ordinary soldier in the army receives half of his daily salary and post-war rewards, he can do up to one-fifth of the other family, and there are even those who do not issue armor, and those who raise their own weapons and armor, and do not give food unless they go out into battle-how many soldiers and horses can be recruited? How long does it last? Are you really so rich that you can't afford it?

Pei Gai smiled and explained to Pei Xiong: "What I do determines the world, not harms the world."

"They only raise generals and troops, and they take the people as soldiers, and they are raised by nothing, so that the army is so miscellaneous that it is difficult for me to be one of the ten soldiers, and they are defeated and scattered before the battle, but they are even more captives, and where they pass, the young and strong are empty. Moreover, the provision is insufficient, but there is no prohibition of plunder, everywhere you go, the cities are in ruins, the villages are wiped out, thousands of miles of fertile fields, only the barking of dogs is heard...... This is the one who harms the people and thieves the world, not the king who protects the people and determines the world.

"Since I protect the people, the people are happy to lose and provide for the endowment, and my children join the army, and they are willing to fight to the death for me. With this army facing the enemy, why not break the enemy? A crowd of 100,000 can run rampant in the world, and defeat the enemy and become stronger, who is worried about the lack of food? Only at the beginning of this year, the army was raised, and it was only a few years since Guanzhong, and the grain was ripe, and the strength was still insufficient; Compared with ten years, Liu Canai didn't dare to face me squarely! ”

Pei Xiong didn't understand it at all, but he just felt that Jin was really rich, and Jin officials were really rich! But now that Shi Le has also occupied a piece of Jin land, I heard that he has recently recruited Jin people as officials, and this opponent is much more difficult to deal with than Liu Cang and his ilk. reminded Pei Gai about this, and Pei Gai immediately bowed his head: "You are right, Shi Shilong's country is in great trouble, and sooner or later I will compete with it in the Central Plains, so naturally I dare not ignore it." ”

Then he asked Pei Xiong again: "In your opinion, which is stronger, Tuoba or Shi?" ”

Pei Xiong thought for a while and replied: "Tuoba is a fine horseman, invincible in the world, how can the Shi clan be restrained?" However, the villain once heard Tuoba Tou say that the grassland is vast, but the people are scarce, Shile is in Hebei and Bingzhou, and he can easily expect two or three hundred thousand soldiers......

"If it weren't for that, Liu Sikong would have led the way that day, and the Tuoba cavalry would have already entered Pingyang. After all, the number of Xianbei is too small, and they are not used to the mountains and rivers of Jindi, so they have gone south many times, but they can't do their best. ”

Pei Cai took the opportunity to ask him: "How many soldiers and horses are there under Yu Lu?" ”

Pei Xiong replied: "Tuoba has twenty-four internal and external departments, and there are no less than 150,000 or 60,000 people who control the strings, but most of them are herdsmen, lack of organization, and it is difficult to fight outside for a long time. Even if the lord said that he would help the whole division of the king, he would only be able to come south, but only seven or eight thousand fine horsemen, and fifty or sixty thousand light horsemen. ”

Pei Caixin said that your so-called "fine ride" refers to a mounted or semi-equipped armored rider? Seven or eight thousand heavy armored cavalry, plus fifty or sixty thousand light armored cavalry, this number is already terrifying......

No wonder the Central Plains is in turmoil, the Jin Rong regime is like a marquee, you sing and I appear, and the Xianbei families are fighting endlessly outside the Saiwai, even so, if the non-Qin almost unified northern China, in the past hundred years, no one can really pose a threat to the Tuoba clan. Once the former Qin collapsed, the Central Plains was in turmoil for the second time, Tuoba Jue restored the dynasty, and then officially advanced to the south, in just 50 years, it was Pingyan, defeated the Song, destroyed Xia, cool, expelled Rouran, and formed a huge Northern Wei Empire......

The Northern Wei Dynasty can be said to be the second empire of China (Tang and Song dynasties), although it is only half of the wall, it still has a far-reaching impact on later generations.

Pei Cai couldn't help but say: If you are so strong, you should only be a friend, and it is inconvenient to be an enemy. And he vaguely felt that he was afraid that his biggest opponent in life might not be Shi Le, but also Yu Lu or his heir......

Pull back and say that Pei should promise that as soon as the war in Hexi is over and the road is quiet, he will send someone to contact Yu Lu again, and by the way, find Tuoba Tou, and explain to him: I have left your nephew behind, and it can be used as a link between the two families. Take Pei Xiong with him, even when he goes into battle, he will not leave for a while.

At this time, when he heard that Zhen Sui had entered the Hu camp, he immediately led the army, lit torches, and came to respond, and at the same time ordered Guo Mo to lead his troops along the west bank of the Yellow River to the south and go straight to the ferry.

Pujindu is not large, and it is impossible for all the 100,000 Hu troops to shrink at the ferry, and the camp is mainly built in the west of the ferry, and it is densely packed. Theoretically speaking, the camps on the north and south sides should be very tightly guarded, but the problem is that the Hu army does not have a naval division, and the Jin people have a fleet of ships - although it is not a naval division - from time to time to approach and harass, Hu Yingnai does not dare to get too close to the river bank, leaving a line of gaps. Pei Gai immediately ordered Guo Mo to go with his army, pretending to go straight through this gap and seize the ferry.

At the same time, Tao Kan also led the boat to raise the fire and approached the pontoon.

In fact, if you want to destroy the pontoon bridge, it is very easy to fill the boat with straw, ignite it and go down the water, and there is a high possibility that the river bridge will be burned. It is true that Hu Bing can hold up the fireboat with a long pole and burn it out in the river, but if you mix one or two warships in it and fire arrows in unison, you will inevitably miss and reveal flaws. As long as a fireboat approaches, the river bridge with bamboo ropes and wooden planks will soon turn into a sea of fire.

The problem is that the strength of the Jin army is slightly less than that of the Hu army after all, and this time it has been planned for a long time, and the enemy is forced to the ferry in response to the time, place, and people, but there is no big enough appetite to swallow a meal. Let's not say that Hu Bing's way of life is cut off, he will do the battle of trapped beasts, if he cuts off his retreat and is forced to be in a hurry, maybe he will die and fight back, and the Jin army will inevitably suffer heavy casualties; Even if you successfully conquer Hu Lei and capture all the Hu pawns, what will you do with the 100,000 people?

Thinking that Bai Qi was in Changping back then, Xiang Yu was in Xin'an, killing and surrendering pawns, and leaving a reputation for eternity, this kind of thing, he Pei Wenyue would never do - not to mention that Hu people are also Hu, even if they are beasts, it is not a righteous man to slaughter livestock for the sake of feasting. But Pei Gai can also understand the difficulties of Bai Qi and Xiang Yu, it is really difficult to place hundreds of thousands of soldiers, if you don't kill them, there will be hidden dangers.

If Pei Gai captured tens of thousands of Hu soldiers, and those who could be absorbed into his own army could only die in a few thousand - if the proportion of Jin Rong in Pei's army was reversed, it would be completely difficult to manage - what should the rest do? and in the scattered realms, there will be calamity, and they will be gathered together and enslaved...... Then the danger is even greater.

Therefore, in Pei Cai's mind, Bai Qi must have been annoyed and shot Zhao Kuo that day, which made Zhao Zu surrender for a while. Otherwise, the Zhao army has been besieged and has no way out, so it only needs to be slowly invaded and killed in batches......

Therefore, Tao Kan suggested that the river bridge should not be destroyed, leaving a glimmer of hope for Hu Jun, and Pei Gai deeply agreed with this. The problem is that the way to survive is behind, which may not only prevent the Hu army from being trapped and fighting and surviving in the dead, but it may also make them unable to have enough sense of crisis to hold on to it. Therefore, it is necessary to create a false impression that the Jin people may be at any time, and are also contriving, to seize the ferry or destroy the river bridge, and cut off their way of retreat.

Sure enough, the successive advances of Guo Mo and Tao Kan caused strong psychological pressure on Hu Jun. The guards who guarded the ferry and the bridge were all elite and had not yet been shaken, but many of the Di and Qiang who had been driven out of the camp by the Jin people and the fire couldn't stand it anymore, and they rushed the guards one after another, demanding to get out of the way and allow them to cross the river.

The guard shouted: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an order, and those who cross the bridge without their lives will be beheaded!" ”

But his voice was quickly drowned out by waves of pleading. The miscellaneous beards couldn't complain, and in the end, they didn't know who called out first: "Your Highness has fled back to Hedong first, but you left me to wait here and be the sharp edge of the Jin people...... He thinks we are beasts that can be discarded at any time? If His Royal Highness the late Emperor is here, it will not be like this! ”

Liu Yi because of blood relationship, his prestige among the miscellaneous hu is very high, Liu Cang killed Liu Yi, most of the miscellaneous hu were deeply dissatisfied, and they had already run half of them to throw stone tigers, and the rest of them were not without resentment, but they didn't dare to rebel. However, at this life-and-death juncture, the Jin people have already entered the camp and set fire everywhere, only the generals can slightly stop their momentum, but seeing that there is still a large Jin army behind them, they are about to kill, and even one of them goes straight to the ferry, and there are boats on the river, wanting to burn the river bridge...... If the river bridge is destroyed, there are only a dozen boats at the ferry, how can it be crowded? Aren't we going to be captured by the Jin?

The key is that our family members are all in Pingyang, since they were captured by the Jin people, if they don't surrender, they will die, if they do, with the temper of the crown prince, can our family members still have a good life?

Besides, we are all used to walking or running horses, and this time we crossed to Hexi, we have already lost half our lives, and then let us get on the boat and flee to Hedong in the rain of arrows from the Jin people...... That ship is a ghost gate, once it capsizes—or if the boat doesn't capsize, I can't bear to shake and fall overboard—I won't even be able to find the corpse!

Zahu repeatedly clamored, and he didn't know who led the leader, so he raised his sword and rushed straight to the guards of the crossing. The guards ordered the soldiers to swing their knives and kill several Zahu immediately, but when they saw the blood, the ferocity in Zahu's bones immediately flooded, and no one refused to tie their hands, and they fought back with weapons.

The number of defenders was originally small, and they had to guard against the bows and arrows of the Jin people on the river, but soon a gap was broken, so a large group of Qi and Qiang and Hu rushed onto the river bridge, spread their legs, and ran wildly towards the opposite bank. The river was originally windy, and there were countless people on it at once, the footsteps were mixed, the pontoon bridge shook immediately, and many miscellaneous people ran and ran, and they were crowded by the crowd, and they were planted into the angry waves of the Yellow River, and a splash disappeared.

If no one crosses the river, once someone grabs the river bridge and runs to the other side, even if Tu Ge and the Huns, they can't help but feel in turmoil when they hear it, and they say that we and other countrymen can't escape alive, can these miscellaneous people survive to the east of the river? Why? Where is the Heavenly Reason?!

At that time, because Zhen Sui attacked the big tent of the Chinese army, although Qiao Tai's troops would be able to stop its momentum, but seeing that there were more and more Jin soldiers behind him - no one wanted Zhen Sui to become independent, and all the departments were also aiming at Hu Yingzhong's army to kill - it was difficult to support for a long time, and the rest of the generals led the troops and gathered around Qiao Tai one after another. Liu Ya said: "The momentum has come to this, it is difficult to defend it anymore, the two riders can rush to the bridge and go to the east of the river - if it is delayed for a while, I am afraid that the Jin people will burn the river bridge, and it will be difficult for anyone to escape at that time!" ”

Qiao Tai said angrily: "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has entrusted me with a heavy responsibility, how can I leave first?!" If you want to go, just go! ”

He was also depressed, the same was true last time under the city of Haoyang, Liu Cang only left during the day, and the Jin people attacked the camp at night, and they defeated themselves in the first battle...... Why am I so unlucky to be the scapegoat for Liu Cang's defeat when I go back?!

Wang Teng was already dying, so he persuaded Qiao Tai and said: "We are all the elite of the country, if we can't survive Hedong, then in Pingyang City, it is inevitable that every family will be white, and the country's society will be overturned in an instant!" Why don't you return to Hedong temporarily, accumulate strength, and then move later. And we are all important generals of the country, how can we not be here? Brother Qiao doesn't care about personal honor and disgrace, he should also think about the long-term for the country. ”

Qiao Tai said: "The river bridge is narrow, how many people can cross?" Once we leave here, the Jin people will force the crossing, and I am afraid that they will all be unfortunate at that time - it is better to die than to face the enemy! ”

Liu Yanai said: "The last general will start to build a siege plan to help, its crime is monstrous, even if His Royal Highness the crown prince is not guilty, how can he still survive to the east of the river?" The last general is willing to defend this place and help you retreat first. ”

Guanwei General Bu Xuan also said: "The last general is willing to share the queen with Liu Anxi - the two chariots are important generals of the country and pillars of the society, if they are captured and killed by the Jin people, it is a great shame for the country, and the two must not die, please go first!" ”

Qiao Tai had no choice but to agree, he and Wang Teng tearfully shook hands with Liu Ya and Bu to say goodbye, and then led his own troops to withdraw from the battle, set off the fireworks, and fled straight to the river bridge.

But it was clearly said that the two rode first, but Qiao and Wang left, and a few generals were willing to stay? With a "hula" sound, there were more than half fewer people around the big tent. Liu Ya and Bu Xuan glanced at each other, and each saw the will to die in the other's eyes, and couldn't help but smile at each other. Immediately, Bu snorted loudly: "Lu Songduo, can you still fight?!" ”

Lu Songduo still had bandages on his thighs, but he was skilled in horsemanship, although it was inconvenient to walk, he was safe on horseback, and immediately surrendered his hand and said: "The last general, the last general can fight, and he should guard the two generals!" Bu Xuan said that he didn't need you to protect me, and stretched out his hand and pointed: "Zhen is in front, you can go and take his head!" ”

Lu Songduo "chuckled" in his heart, and said in his heart that other enemy generals would return the favor, this Zhen barbarian...... I'm his defeated general, don't you know? How could I possibly take his head? Unless King Yong's generals are here first, they may be able to make a draw with Zhen Sui......

But he didn't dare not die, so he had to twist the spear and respond: "The last general is ordered, it's a big deal to die with that barbarian, let him know that my emperor also has martyrs!" "Rode out of the horse and went straight to Zhen Sui to kill.

However, Zhen Sui led the soldiers to fight with the elite of the Hu army, and in front of and behind him, they were crowded with people, and most of them were infantrymen, and they were all very close to each other, and it was difficult for Lu Songduo to find a gap to penetrate. As soon as he pondered, it was okay, then I would try to cast a cold arrow and shoot this barbarian.

So he pressed the spear, took out the bow, put on an arrow, and aimed at Zhen Sui is arrow.
