Pei Gai rode alone, rode out of the south gate of Huaiyin, and after walking not far, he found Bian Yan and his party on the avenue. ◢ With * dream * small ◢.1a

To say that this Bian Wangzhi is indeed a gentleman, although he resigned and left, but he refused to use official horses and official cars, he himself rode a donkey, his wife and two young sons rode a mule cart, and the servants carried large bags and small bags on their backs, so the speed of travel was very slow. In Bian Yan's thoughts, Pei should be busy setting up the "Hongmen Banquet" today, and he has no time to take care of himself, at least he has to wait until tomorrow, when the officials report on official affairs but can't find themselves, they will notify Pei Gai, and when Pei should see his resignation letter, no matter how slow the family goes, day and night, they have to go out forty or fifty miles, how can you chase it?

He didn't expect that Pei would secretly send someone to monitor his movements, so he went out of the south gate not far away, and was caught up by the Lord Thorn Shi.

Pei Gai raised his hand from afar and beckoned: "Jun Bian, if you don't sit in the city, where do you want to go?" ”

Bian Yan couldn't help but sigh secretly, and said in his heart that he had to make it clear in person. So he got down from the donkey and arched his hand: "Have you ever seen the servant leave a letter?" The book makes it clear......"

Pei Cai came to the front of him with a horse, turned over, and didn't mention whether he had seen the letter, but said, "Why is Jun Bian like this?" A deep gesture continued: "If you offend Jun Bian, please forgive." ”

Bian Yan hurriedly returned the salute, but said in his mouth: "The envoy did not offend Bian, but I am afraid that I am sorry for the people of this county." ”

Pei Gai straightened his waist, shook his head and said, "Bian Jun, can you know that the family is crying, how can it be like all the way...... A county crying? ”

Bian Yan waved his hand and said: "So that Jun is like a clever tongue, Bian has nothing to do, but he knows that 'the Tao is different, and he does not conspire with each other'." The friendship between the guest and the host, I am grateful in my heart, but what I do is not in harmony, why not go to rest? "Don't tell me any big truths, I can't talk to you anyway, anyway, I'm just leaving, you can't stop it.

Pei Gai persuaded and said: "Bian Jun, what I did was to protect a county, but to a county and a state, and based on this, I marched into Wanluo, sought to restore Sheji, and returned the Son of Heaven - is what Bian Jun did different?" ”

Bian Yan smiled bitterly: "I hope the same, I would rather take it straight and take it, but the king prefers to bend the road to seek, which is really not what you want." ”

"In the past Wei Taizu took the Central Plains, Xun Wenruo offered the policy of 'serving the Son of Heaven to order not to obey', Si is the straight road; Guo Jia and Jia Xu are conspiring and tricky, and Si is the twisted road, such as the art of war, which is born together, complementing each other, in order to successfully establish a business. If we have the same aspirations, but we can complement each other's strengths, why should we go the other way? ”

Pei Gai said while observing Bian Yan's expression, and sure enough, he still failed to convince the other party with this big reason, so he changed the topic in time: "And Bian Jun doesn't want to expel Hu Lu and restore the great mountains and rivers?" ”

"Shall I not ......?"

"However, what Zu Shizhi did can be described as a straight way?" Pei Cai interrupted Bian Yan's words, "Why doesn't Bian Jun go out of the West Gate to vote, but go south?" Isn't it possible to be in company with Wang Maohong and others? Zu Shizhi and I often said to Bian Jun that they have no ambition to recover, and if Bian Jun goes to Jiangdong, it will be a pearl cast into the dark, how can it benefit the country and society? ”

Bian Yan was speechless for a while, and muttered: "I want to settle down my wife and children first, and then go along......"

Pei Gai said with a smile: "If you cross the river and go south, I am afraid it will be difficult to return to the north - I and Zu Shizhi have worked hard to cross to the north, and I also talked to Bian Junyan a few days ago......"

"In this way, please go back, and Bian will change his route to the west!"

Pei Caixin said that I worked hard to lips and tongue, why don't you eat oil and salt? Is it really that hard to work with me? What does it matter if you have different ideas, if you follow me, you will naturally be able to embark on the bright road in the future...... At the moment, he pouted angrily: "I'm not going back." Huaiyin County Affairs, if there is no Bian Jun, it is difficult to govern - if Bian Jun is a true gentleman, he should not give up halfway and take the idea of floating in the sea. Even if it is necessary to part, is there no one to recommend you to take your place? Is that what a guest should do? ”

Bian Yanxin said I'm worried about this, as long as I'm hard-hearted, I'm not afraid that you won't let go, but the problem is that you must ask me to recommend a successor, where can I find the right person for you? That's why I left the book and said goodbye, but I didn't expect to be caught up by you. Since he was speechless, he had no choice but to take a deep look: "Envoy, why bother to force each other? ”

"I don't force you, but I ...... you stay."

As he was talking, he suddenly heard someone behind him shouting: "Envoy, envoy!" Immediately, a tribulation came, turned over and dismounted in front of him, and knelt on the ground to report: "There is an accident in the county!" ”

Pei Gaizheng was interrupted in the middle of his irritable words, and he was going to scold, but as soon as he heard that something was wrong, he immediately shivered slightly, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"There are countless displaced people in Huaibei, and they are about to wade into the south......"

When Pei Gai heard this, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "How many people are there?" ”

"There are more than 10,000 of them!"

Pei Cai turned his head and glanced at Bian Yan, both of whom had doubts and vigilance in their eyes at the same time.

Shi Le and Cao Wei fought in Qingzhou, both sides sent troops to plunder everywhere, destroy acres of houses, and rob the food of the people's mouths, so some homeless people fled to Huaiyin every now and then. Pei Gai ordered careful screening to prevent any spies from getting in, and then drove them all to the cantonment land and handed them over to the management of Fei Sheng. However, before that, they were all sporadic homeless people, and the most was only about a dozen families and less than 100 people, which was tens of thousands...... What's going on?

If there is no major change in Huaibei, it will not be like this!

Pei Gai immediately pleaded: "Bian Jun, the displaced people have entered the county in a big way, I am afraid that something will happen, once there is chaos, the rear is unstable, and Zu Shizhi's expedition to the west will come to naught - please also look at Zu Jun's face, return to Huaiyin with it, and help each other for a few more days, how about it?" ”

Bian Yan sighed: "What the envoy did today, won't it cause chaos?" ”

"Plan and act, that is, chaos can be controlled; Unpredictable, I am afraid that it is not the power of a single person, it can be removed! ”

"Well, for the sake of the livelihood of a county, and for the sake of Zujun's westward journey, I will stay for a few more days." In fact, Bian Yan also knew that if he wanted to leave, he had to leave quickly, and once he returned to Huaiyin County, it would be difficult to leave. Only if he is resolute enough to go, Pei Gai can give up on retaining, but if he goes back...... It means that the intention is not strong, then the other party will definitely come up with endless tricks to tie himself up!

He originally thought that if Pei should mess up this "Hongmen Banquet", he would withdraw as soon as possible to avoid the burning of jade; If he didn't mess up, even if he wasn't there, with the assistance of Zhou Zhu and others, sooner or later he would be able to get the county government back on track again. But as Pei Gai said, this without warning, the sudden appearance of the incident is not easy to solve, if a bad response, resulting in the Huaiyin that he has worked hard for more than half a year to collapse instantly, the people will be poisoned, then how can I bear it?

Forget it, I have to take a step at a time, and go back with him to solve the problem in front of my eyebrows first.

Bian Yan was relieved, Pei Cai couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered the subordinates who sent the letter: "Take the horse and don't drive, I will go to the shore to visit here, and you will accompany Bian Jun's family and family to escort you back to the city safely!" ”

——————————

Pei Gai and Bian Yan, the two horses galloped side by side and rushed back to the county. But running and running, the two of them have a higher riding skill, Bian Yan is a whole horse head behind, this is still Pei should try his best to suppress the speed - Pei should not help but be secretly proud, and said in his heart that it is not in vain that I have practiced for so many days, nor is it in vain that I "invented" the stirrup, and now even if the riding skills are not as good as the Central Plains veterans such as Zu Li, in the general scholar class, it can already be regarded as a top grade, right?

The two walked through the city, entered from the south gate, and exited from the north gate, and the Huaishui was not far from the north gate. When I got to the shore, I saw three or five small boats scattered on the water, but the other side was full of people - more than 100 homeless people had already landed on the south bank, and they were being forced with bows and arrows by the soldiers guarding the Suibao and the soldiers of the "Pengshan Battalion" of Lu Yan's department who had just hurried over, and were imprisoned on the river beach.

The two rode their horses and approached, when they heard a soldier shouting: "All right, all right, the envoy is here!" When Lu Yan heard this, he hurriedly strode over to report: "Envoy, don't drive." He stretched out his hand and pointed behind him: "There is a woman who is their chief." ”

"I'm going to come and speak."

Lu Yan ordered to go down, and saw that the displaced people were separated from the left and right, and a woman who was dressed plainly, but quite decent, was holding a baby in her arms, and with the support of a maidservant, she hurried close - the river beach was uneven, and she also tripped and stumbled, and almost fell, which shows the urgency of her mood.

Pei Gai and Bian Yan both turned over and dismounted, and when the woman approached, they asked, "Where did Madame come from?" ”

The woman bowed slightly, and said to Bian Yan - both of them wore three liang crowns, which were the color of the prince's clothes, and she saw Bian Wangzhi's age, thinking that this was the history of Xuzhou Thorn - "I have seen the envoy." The woman Ximen Wang was originally a ......"

Pei Gai was shocked when he heard this, and interjected: "Could it be ...... Gao Ping Xigong, who is his wife? ”

"It's the woman's husband."

When Pei Gai heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that it was Xi Jian's wife, why was she so young?!

As far as he knew, Xi Jian Xi Daohui was already in his forties, so although the lord was not high enough, he also habitually called "Gong" instead of "Jun" - to respect the elderly. But the woman in front of him looked like she was in her early twenties, and he thought it was Xi Jian's daughter-in-law or something......

Later, I learned that the baby in Mrs. Wang's arms was Xi Jian's eldest son, Xi Su, who had just reached the full moon...... Pei Cai didn't remember how many sons Xi Jian had, but he knew that he had a young daughter who later married Wang Xizhi - for which he also left an allusion to the "fast son-in-law of the east bed". In other words, the future Mrs. Xi is far from being reincarnated, and Wang Youjun is already eight years old...... Like his father-in-law, he is also an old cow who eats tender grass!

Hurriedly asked Mrs. Wang about the situation, what happened? Where is Xi Daohui? Mrs. Wang's tears rippled, but after all, everyone was from a beautiful background—she was the Wang family of Taiyuan—although she was sad and worried, her words were very organized. Pei Gai listened to her story, and then he knew: Damn, history has really changed, and it is about to become unrecognizable!

Xi Jian escaped from Luoyang before the "Yongjia Rebellion", but he didn't run south, but wanted to return to his hometown Gaoping first, but was caught by the beggar army Chen Wu halfway. Chen Wu was quite kind to Xi Jian, and planned to support him as a leader—of course, a puppet—but was plotted by Xi Jian to escape, and then returned to his hometown.

However, Qingzhou had a great drought last year, starvation all over the wilderness, and soon Shi Le was killed again, Xi Jian had no choice but to take more than 1,000 households of the township party to avoid the mountains of Ludi, and the surrounding displaced people also came to vote, and soon gathered more than 10,000 people. At this time, Pei Gai's messenger arrived and invited Xi Jian to go south to Huaiyin. Xi Jian is quite puzzled, I have been here for a few days, how can this Pei Yuanjun know? Is he really so deaf and clear-sighted?

He had also hesitated about whether to go south to the Huaishui Valley, and discussed with his clansmen, but the clansmen were unable to leave their homeland - Yishan was at least not too far from Gaoping - and Xi Jian was keenly aware that Shi Le would not be able to stay in Qingzhou for a long time, so he finally declined Pei Gai's request.

But he could guess that Shi Le would leave Qingzhou sooner or later and seek another way of development, but he didn't expect that before Shi Le left, he actually stretched out his black hand to Yishan!

In the process of fighting against Cao Wei, Shi Le's guerrilla army also approached Yishan, and also took over a few battles with Xi Jian's troops. At that time, there was a shortage of food in Shile's army, because it was rumored that tens of thousands of people had gathered in the mountains, and there were tens of thousands of grains and grass, so he sent the generals Xuan An and Zhiqu Liu to attack before leaving-Cao Wei also sent thousands of soldiers and horses to help, because this is one of the conditions for Shile to negotiate peace, you have to let people get enough food, and he is willing to leave your door, isn't it?

Under the attack of the two phases, Xi Jian was defeated - Xi Daohui and Liu Yueshi were just the opposite, with both grace and power, quite capable of control, but in the actual military command it was two knives - fortunately, the news came quickly, and he withdrew his wife and children and the old and weak from the mountain in time, and he took more than 2,000 young and strong people to the aftermath. At that time, Xi Jian took care of his wife Wang, saying that you go all the way south, go straight to Huaishui, don't look back, since Xuzhou Pei Tingshi once wrote a letter to invite me, then you go to take refuge, he will definitely accept it. As for me, if I have a fate, let's see you again in Huaiyin.

As a result, I am afraid that there will be no time to see each other again, Xi Daohui was defeated and captured, and became a prisoner of Xuan An's subordinates - this is what the defeated soldiers who were lucky enough to catch up with the brigade said. And it is said that Zhi Qu Liu still did not give up, and led thousands of cavalry to chase after him from behind, as if he wanted to plunder all the displaced people back!

Wang told Pei Gai and Bian Yan: "Hu Qi is behind me, and please save the people to cross the Huai, if not, I am afraid that all of them will anoint Hu Lu's butcher's knife!" "Crying while talking, it's really pear blossoms with rain, I feel pity.

Bian Yan didn't ask for help, and immediately waved at Pei Gai, and immediately went down to make arrangements, mobilized all boats, and picked up the displaced people on the north bank to cross Huai. Pei should estimate that the first batch of people who crossed over are probably close to the Xi family and the Wang family, so there is no need to screen them, so hurry up and return to the county seat with me and find a place to rest. He also comforted Wang's and said: "Gong Xi is blessed, there must be nothing to do, madam, don't mourn, so as not to hurt your dignity - I was also taken into custody in the Hu camp last year, but if I have a good opportunity, I can naturally get rid of the shackles." ”

He said in his heart that Xi Daohui would gather the displaced people into an army in the future to quell the Wang Dun Rebellion, how could he die today?! Even if God plans to give up all those homeless people to himself, there is no need to take Xi Jian away first......

It's fatal, Hu Qi is coming, I haven't even said anything about the integration of the dock forts here, I knew that I would have implemented the plan a few days later, and I would wait until I repelled the six branches. Now Huaiyin is the weakest time, I'm afraid I can't stop that old acquaintance!
