Liu Yao and Pei Gai agreed to meet under Dali City, of course, each of them had to bring out the elite soldiers at the bottom of the box. Theoretically, even if it is not a virtual division, the Hu army has nearly 100,000 people, and the Xuzhou army is less than 40,000. But this is not the case.

First of all, looking at the equipment, it is obvious that the Jin army is much more sophisticated, this is because Pei Gai pays attention to the manufacture and even development of equipment, and he farms in Xuzhou, and the accumulation of money and materials is much richer than Liu Yao. Especially those fifty "armored horsemen", I'm afraid it is a unique luxury in the Central Plains!

Horse armor has existed since ancient times, but because of its high cost, the number of heavy cavalry is very small, and it is even more difficult to form an army - most of them are used to protect generals. In the "Military Policy Order", Cao Cao stated the comparison of the strength of the two sides before the battle of Guandu, and said: "Yuan Benchu armor ten thousand collars, my great armor twenty collars; There were 300 horses in the beginning, and I could not have ten. "Even Cao Mengde, who was in the four prefectures of Yousi, Yan, Henan, and Xu at that time, only had ten horse armors, not to mention Liu Yao today? Hu Han's relatively solid territory is only two or three counties......

Of course, in the search army, there are still a few horse armors that can be turned out, most of them are the personal equipment of the generals, even if they are temporarily used to show off, the armor may not line the horse, and the horse may not be a soldier, but it will reduce the combat ability, so Liu Yao did not do it, and he didn't think of doing it at all.

Who would have thought that the Jin army on the opposite side seemed to be easy, and fifty armored horsemen would come out, and looking at the movements of the knights and the war horses, they were definitely skilled, not improvised. Liu Yao couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and said in his heart that it was dangerous...... If Pei Gai is agreed, and each leads a thousand people to meet, once there is a conflict, these fifty horsemen rush over, I can't bear it! Of course, there may not be any danger to himself, but even if he runs away, there are thousands of people who are defeated by the Jin army, and the morale of the army will inevitably plummet.

If one is not good, the soldiers and horses in Dali City are constantly coming out, and I am reluctant to bring out those elites, and I am forced to transfer troops and horses from the camp to refuel, and the possibility of a decisive battle in front of the city is not small. However, the battlefield is so close to the city wall, it is clearly beneficial to the defenders of the city, even if I have more soldiers and horses, I can only press the first line, and the chances of victory are really slim......

Moreover, these Jin soldiers on the opposite side, the queue is neat, the pace is the same, and they are clearly well-trained soldiers in a hundred battles, although I am also elite behind me, but looking at the spirit, it seems that it is slightly inferior. Liu Yao couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said in his heart that in this meeting under the city, I was completely overpowered by Pei Gai.

I know that Xuzhou is not a weak brigade, and the siege battle of more than ten days can also draw the same conclusion. But after all, I didn't see the magic weapon at the bottom of the box that Pei Cai, and now it seems that his 40,000, even on the plain, is enough for me to be 60,000 or even more-Liu Yao couldn't help but feel cowardly, and had a plan to retreat.

Of course, he won't admit it, and even if he is afraid, he can't easily show it. So on the surface, the clouds were light and light, and there was a hint of contempt on his lips, and he arched his hand from a distance: "Pei Shizhong." ”

After Pei got off the drawbridge, he was about twenty steps away from Liu Yao, stopped his mount, and the soldiers behind him also stopped, and the two generals each held a large shield in front of him. When he heard Liu Yao's greeting, he also lifted the bamboo cane upside down and waved it slightly: "Liu Yongming." ”

What does Liu Yaoxin mean by this, I call you an official position, but you only call me by my name, which is too disrespectful! After thinking about it, it's right, after all, he was named King Yong, should Pei call himself the king, doesn't that seem lower than himself? How can the children of this family be willing to be weak in face? Immediately, his face sank, and he also changed his name: "Pei Wenyue." ”

In fact, he thought about it, Pei Cai deliberately didn't call his official, it really has nothing to do with the big and small officials, the high and low officials, the key is - you are just rebellious, who recognizes your Hu Hanfeng's lord and worship official? If you call Liu Yao's official title, wouldn't it recognize that Jin and Han are enemies of the two countries? Hu Han didn't care about this, so Liu Yao couldn't think of it; The Jin people couldn't care less, and Pei should not dare not care.

Liu Yao spoke first and said: "I advised Wenyue to retreat earlier, Your Excellency's foundation is in Xu Fang, why should you be interested in Guanzhong, which is thousands of miles away?" However, your Excellency is obsessed, and I have nothing more to say. I only ask today, what do you want, and hope that I will withdraw the siege of Dali? ”

When Pei Gai heard this, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned. He originally had a full stomach full of drafts, and wanted to scold Liu Yao and the Hu Han regime in front of the city, so as to achieve his reputation as an unyielding loyal minister and a strong man, who would have thought that Liu Yao would not mention the contention between the two countries and no longer want to leave Feng Yi by himself, but asked: What can you give me so that I can withdraw?

Damn, if you don't play your cards according to common sense, then won't I be able to read the speech I prepared in advance?!

In fact, Liu Yao originally discussed a lot of words with Liu Jun, Cao Sui and others, although he didn't make the other party speechless, so he retreated in embarrassment, thinking that he would be able to kill Pei Wenyue's majesty. But now that they met, seeing that the Xuzhou army was so elite, Liu Yao had the intention of retiring on the spot.

That's why he said: "I only ask today, what do you want, and hope that I will withdraw the siege of Dali?" ”

Pei Cai waved his hand: "No need." ”

"Why not?"

Pei Gai smiled: "Yongming doesn't have to withdraw the siege of Dali, and I refuse to give you a grain of rice - you and others killed my people, kidnapped my son of heaven, defeated my city, trampled on my acres, and came back to harass Feng Yi and besiege Dali, do you want me to lose tribute and beg you to retreat?" The only way to deal with thieves is to add up the blade! Most of the equipment in the city is unused, and you are waiting to attack again, so why retreat? ”

Liu Yao couldn't help but feel on fire in his heart, and immediately shouted: "Wenyue, I am good at talking to each other, why do you want to speak evil words and be aggressive?!" ”

Pei should point at Liu Yao with a bamboo cane: "When you entered Luoyang in the past, were you humble and reasonable, and you were kind to me and the people?" What is the use of good words and persuasion between humans and beasts?! ”

Liu Yaoxin said that I am so polite, you are a "thief" and "beast", and you still point and poke at me with a pole, which is so rude! Don't I have a guy in my hands? Immediately raised the horsewhip and raised it towards Pei Cai: "Wenyue, the soldiers are dangerous and fierce, there has never been a way to win, you rely on this big Licheng to be solid, in a certain opinion, but Erer." The day before yesterday, it was for you to break my 'flying beam car' for the secret technique of igniting fire, and I was lucky to succeed, but the secret technique can no longer be used, and I already have a plan to deal with it! ”

Pei Gaixin said that the original thing was called "Feiliang Car", and the name was upside down - "My secret technique, more than one or two, you see me today, like a public defeat and a meeting Mozi, but the offense and defense are just changing." With all your plans to attack the city, I have a thousand plans to deal with it, why not give it a try? ”

Liu Yao simply said bluntly: "If you give me the secret technique of igniting fire, I will withdraw the siege of Dali, and I am willing to swear that I will not attack each other again, so that the soldiers will be saved from death and injury, and the people will have to return to the fields, wouldn't it be good?" ”

Pei Gai laughed and said: "I said a long time ago, the rice is not with the thief, but the secret art." And whatever I want, thou hast been the first to be the first, and thou mayest be exchanged in the future? ”

Liu Yao was so angry that the three corpses jumped violently, and immediately clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and he was about to rush towards Pei Gai regardless of it. Fortunately, Liu Jun paid attention to his expression at any time, and hurriedly stretched out his hand, pressed on Liu Yao's arm, and made a look, which means: Be careful not to be provoked by Pei Gai's words, reckless and reckless - you rush forward, not only bear the name of dishonesty, but also may not be able to hold him, maybe you are in danger, why bother?

Then he turned to Pei Gai, and did not give a salute - he held the shield in one hand, and he couldn't do it - and said in a deep voice: "I heard that Pei Wenyue is the son of the late Julu County Duke, a Qinghua family, and he should have ......."

Pei Cai glanced at him and unceremoniously interrupted Liu Jun's words: "Who are you?" ”

"Emperor Han Yongwang Sima Liu Jun, the word ......"

"Is it Hu people or Chinese?"

"I am the ...... of the Han Dynasty"

Pei Cai immediately took a sip: "Since you are a Hulu, why don't you wear fur and horns, and dare to wear my Chinese clothes?!" ”

Liu Jun decided that Pei should not take the opportunity to meet and sneak attack his side, in order to show that he was very confident in his judgment, so he did not come wearing armor and armor, but wore an official uniform-Hu Han court uniform, in fact, it was purely copied from the Jin system, and it did not change much. Therefore, Pei Caicai said, what qualifications do you have to wear Chinese clothes? If there was only this sentence, he used the words "wearing hair and horns"-

Yes, the northern land is cold, and the grassland peoples who wear fur more, and the grassland peoples with a relatively low level of technology are often very rough about the nitrate of leather, and there is no cotton and silk outer Mongolia, which causes the whole person to look at the plush and fluffy, which is "fur". But what do you mean by "wearing horns"? Not to mention that the dress of the dignitaries of Tu Ge is not much different from that of the Chinese nobles, and the Hu tradition rarely has the habit of decorating crowns with animal horns. This is clearly scolding Liu Jun for being a beast - and he also scolded Liu Yao and other Tu Ge and Zhuhu all into it.

Liu Jun couldn't help but feel angry, and he couldn't speak for a while.

Pei should take this opportunity to begin a long speech: "In the past, the five singles in the north of the desert were in contention, and Ru and others were just defeating the remnants, and it was our China that took in the Huhan evil and made it live in the state and mingle with the Chinese. You don't want to be grateful, but turn your back on China, don't want to be a person, and are willing to be with birds and beasts, like a mother eater, like a deer killing his father, and still dare to wear Chinese clothes, which is really incorruptible and shameless! Like this......"

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Yao. Liu Yao said with a calm face: "I am a relative of the emperor and Han, and I have the blood of Liu Zhi injected into my body......" The Southern Xiongnu have married the Han family many times, so Liu Yuan assumed the surname Liu, claiming to be the uncle's business inherited by his nephew-"And Wei usurped Han, Sima usurped Cao, and was originally rebellious, so what kind of favor do you have with me?" Restore Hanzuo ...... today"

Pei should be afraid that the other party will talk about Sima's, because Sima's is really unbearable, and there is no way to wash the ground, and with his current identity, it is inconvenient to follow Liu Yao to scold Sima-so, if you can interrupt me, I can also interrupt you, and see which of us has a faster brain and a sharper mouth-

"Ridiculous! In the past, the ancestors of the Han Dynasty destroyed the tyrannical Qin and defeated the mad Chu, and won the world; Guangwu Ping green forest, red eyebrows, and then restored Han Zuo. Before and after the Han Dynasty, filial piety is the foundation of benevolence, and filial piety begins with filial piety and loves others. Among your flesh and bones, it is nothing but the barbaric and brutal blood of Beihu! ”

Liu Yao raised his whip again, which means: Shut up, I won't entangle you with this. He knew that he couldn't say anything about Pei Gai - after all, after the other party was a famous family, he must have read more books than himself, and he must have spoken more than himself - in order to avoid embarrassment, he quickly changed the topic and pointed with a whip: "Wen Yue is beside him, and he has to capture Yi Yu the day before yesterday?" What's your name? ”

Pei Gai is next to the two generals, one is the Ministry Governor Wenlang, and the other is Zhen Sui. Zhen Sui listened and asked, and said in his heart, don't you know the name of the master? Without waiting for Pei to answer, he shouted first: "The master's name is Zhen Sui, and the governor of the 'fire robbery camp' under the command of Pei Du is also!" Knowing that I am brave enough to capture Yiyu alive, how dare you come to the battle?! ”

I heard a general beside Liu Yao sneer: "What's so difficult about capturing Yiyu alive?" "It's the fierce general Pingxian.

Zhen Sui didn't pay attention at first, but after a closer look at it at this time, he also roughly recognized Ping Xian - the key day was that the city and the city were far apart, and he couldn't see his face clearly, if Ping Xian didn't take the initiative to speak, he really couldn't get the right number-so he asked: "What's your name?" If it weren't for Yi Yu being injured by me that day, how would you have been able to capture him?! ”

Ping Xian sneered: "My name is Ping Xian, and King Yong is a small school in front of him." I know that the warriors in our army are not among the generals, like me, but you are the frog at the bottom of the well, so you make a reckless man the governor! ”

Zhen Sui was furious, threw the shield in his hand to the ground, and held the hilt of the knife at his waist: "If you don't accept it, you can come to fight!" ”

Ping Xian also abandoned his shield, holding his spear and shouting: "Fight is battle, who will be afraid of you?!" ”

Pei Gai and Liu Yao all squinted at the two generals, and said in their hearts, what do you mean, you are scared, do you want to take the lead? Liu Yao scolded first: "How can there be a place for you to speak here?!" As soon as Pei Gai heard the other party reproach his subordinates, he changed his words and appeased Zhen Sui: "I use Qing, so that Qing can take the first rank of general in the Ten Thousand Horse Army, so why compete with a small school?" The bamboo cane pointed out: "Qing Ke can see Liu Yao on the other side clearly, meet today, let it go for the time being, he can take Liu Yao's head to me in the future." ”

Liu Yaoxin scolded after saying a few words, this was really impossible to talk well, and he also pointed with a whip: "The head of the covenant, for the time being, put it on the item, if you refuse to offer the secret recipe for igniting fire, I will make a lot of equipment after I return, and then attack Dali, and then you don't know which pawn in our army will die!" ”

Pei should smile and say okay-"The heads of the two of you, it can be seen that there will be a day of reunion." If nothing is of use, I will wait for you to come and attack the city!" As soon as he spoke, he turned his horse and departed.

- This was also discussed in advance, Liu Yao had to wait first, and Pei should be the first to leave. Because Pei should have the city as a basis, he walked a few steps and entered the area covered by the archers in his own city, and he was not afraid that Liu Yao would attack from behind; But if Liu Yao retreats first, and the Jin army attacks his back, it will not be easy to resist.

After returning to the city, Pei Gai immediately summoned the generals and said that I see the situation of today's meeting, and Liu Yao wants to withdraw! We must be ready to go out of the city at any time to pursue.
