Let's say that Pei should lead Guo Mo and Pei Xiong, two generals, and guard 300 horsemen, that is, he left Chang'an City the next day after receiving the edict, galloped all the way, but arrived in Luoyang on the sixth day.

When Sima Ye heard that Pei should be coming, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said to the courtiers: "Pei Gong is really worried about state affairs, and he is coming very quickly...... I thought that it would be at least half a month before Pei should arrive.

Moreover, during this period, the military intelligence of all sides reported that Shile divided his troops to cross the frozen Yellow River and harassed Yanzhou, and Zuyo led the soldiers and horses of the prefecture and county to block it, which was able to repel the enemy, but he himself suffered heavy losses - the exchange ratio was almost more than three to one - and he asked Luoyang for help three times in ten days. At the same time, Shi Le ordered Wang Yang to lead the army to enter the Taihang Pass, Li Ju came to the rescue, retreated in ambush, and after five days of fierce fighting, the pass was finally lost......

However, the Shangdang soldiers did not stride into Hanoi because of this, because Zhi Quliu had received a distress letter from Shi Sheng before this, and led the main force to the west to respond.

Therefore, the situation was unfavorable to the Jin side in an all-round way, and the rangers of the Jin army often cruised north of Chenggao Pass, and Luoyang was shocked three times a day. In this situation, not to mention Liang Fen and Sima Ye, even the Xun group is looking forward to Pei Gai's coming, like the hope of a great drought......

Pei Cai first entered the court to see His Majesty, and then went to the Hussar General's Mansion to visit Zu Ti's illness. Zu Shizhi still couldn't get off the bed, so he had to reluctantly raise his upper body with the support of his son Zu Lian to meet Pei Gai. Pei Cai took a closer look, and saw that Zu Ti's old face, which was originally yellow and red, was now as white as paper, and even his lips were not bloody. After all, they have known each other for a long time, and their friendship is irreversible, and he can't help but have red circles in his eyes and cry gloomily.

This is not acting, it is indeed heartache. Pei Cai couldn't help but think of a poem: "Beauty has been like a famous general since ancient times, and she is not allowed to see a white head in the world." The original meaning of the poem is left aside for the time being, but seeing that the people who galloped on the field and worked hard in the past were lying stiffly on the couch, if they were seriously ill, anyone would inevitably have a sour nose.

So he grabbed Zu Ti's trembling hand, and said in tears: "Zujun, I haven't seen you for a few months, why is this so?" ”

Zu Li sighed and said: "It's because I am confident that I am healthy, and I am not good at maintenance, and even this...... is already in the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, and it is indeed impossible to disobey the old...... Wenyue, if I go, the country can only rely on you. ”

Pei Cai hurriedly shook his head: "Why did Zu Jun say this? The king is the hero of the world, the country's heavy general, as a horse leather shroud, how can he be old in Xi Zhen? He blurted out, and then pondered, ahh

The corners of Zu Ti's mouth twitched slightly, and said: "I deserve it as a person if I want to do things in the east, I don't want to have today, and I have Lao Wen to come to the east." I don't know the situation today, can there be a case in the text? "Don't talk about my illness, I don't have so much energy to talk to you, let's talk about national affairs.

Pei Gai nodded and said: "There are two strategies, undecided." ”

"Please."

"One of its strategies is to lure the thieves across the river, that is, in the heart of Henan, relying on the fortified city, to kill its main force; The second strategy is to divide the troops to guard, hold on to them for a long time, and wait for them to retreat. What does Zujun think is preferred? ”

Without thinking, Zu Ti replied, "Don't let the thief cross the river!" ”

Then he explained: "If I am not seriously ill, this plan may be feasible; And I am sick, Wen Yue first arrived in Henan, commanding the Chinese army, the generals can not be undoubted, and the suspicion is difficult to be thorough, once the cavalry is approaching Luoyang City, the court has a lot of discussions, and it will not be able to make Wen Yue continue its strategy. It is better to divide the troops and guard the danger, and slowly force the thieves, the road is farther than mine, and it is not durable to hold on, at most in February and March, it will inevitably retreat. ”

Pei should say okay - "You should obey your ancestors." Then he asked: "As Zujun said, when I first arrived in Luoyang, many of the generals in Henan were not familiar with it, and the use of them may not depend on their talents, and the generals cannot be undoubted." If there are those who refuse to obey the order, how to deal with it? ”

He is actually asking for power from Zu Li. Zu Shizhi heard the string song and knew the elegant meaning, that is, he pointed to Zu Lian: "I should make the dog clearly tell all the generals that they must obey the orders of the Great Sima, if they do not obey, or kill or degrade, just like the meaning of the text." ”

Pei should get Zu Ti's promise, so he resigned, and then met Luoyang Ling Jiang Tong outside the door.

Jiang Tong Jiang Zichang once served as the imperial physician, but although he studied under Zhiyu and learned the medical skills of Huangfu Mi, he was not interested in practicing medicine, and Pei Gai also promised that as long as he re-erected the shelf of the imperial physician's office, he could be transferred to his position. So soon after the imperial court returned to the east, Jiang Tong was able to serve as the Luoyang Commander and take charge of Dugi.

Although the Luoyang Order is only a thousand stones, it is famous and powerful-just like Henan Yin Weizun, who is alone above the governors of the counties and states, and can even stand shoulder to shoulder with the state assassin history and even Jiuqing - in terms of Jiang Zichang's background and qualifications, it would not have been his turn. One was in Chang'an, from Sima Ye, the son of heaven, to Liang Fen and other eunuchs, all of whom were ill by Jiang Tong and benefited from it; Second, Dr. Jiang is used to seeing a doctor, and it is best to keep him in the capital, so that he can be summoned from time to time for consultation, so he is given this prominent position.

This time is the same, although Sima Ye has sent a number of imperial doctors to treat Zu Li, Zu Jian still asked Jiang Tong to take the time to come to the door - most of those imperial doctors were summoned by Jiang Tong, and if they go out of his door, it is better to find a disciple than to find a teacher.

At this time, Pei Cai met Jiang Tong and asked him how his ancestor's condition was, Jiang Tong first had a large set of medical terms, and Pei Gai was confused when he heard it, but fortunately he quickly got to the point: "The general is sick in the viscera, and it is indeed difficult to regulate, and he can't wait for leisure." Only if you can survive this winter, you may be expected to heal next spring. ”

Pei Cai hurriedly asked: "In Zichang's opinion, what is the chance of recovery?" Jiang Tongxin said that I can't say for sure, but looking at Pei Cai's eager gaze, he was relieved: "There is always a chance of six or seven percent." Pei Gaixin said that it is fifty percent, that's good-" The safety of the country lies in the ancestors, and the safety of the ancestors depends on Zichang. If he can be cured of his illness, Zi Changgong's work will be high, that is, Jiuqing can cause it! ”

Jiang Tong got the promise and couldn't help but thank him repeatedly. Pei Gai didn't say much to him, hurriedly went out of the house, and secretly met with Liang Fen and Yin Qiao that night.

The next day, please reinstate the Seventh Army - Captain Xun, haven't you always had this thought, and I will do what you wish.

But Pei Gai's so-called Seventh Army basically just changed the ancestral army to a justified signboard. Immediately ordered Zu Jian to general the front army, Zu Ji to general the rear army, Zhang Ping to general the left army, Fan Ya to general the right army, Wei Ce to general the left guard, Feng Tie to general Xiao cavalry - the last right guard general, and gave his brother Pei Pi, who was arranged in Henan County.

Immediately, he will come out of the festival to gather all the generals, and Bo Zhouhong, the lord of Henan Yin, and Shi Zhangchang, the general of the hussars, will discuss the strategy of using troops. During the banquet, Zu Lian first asked Zu Lian to recount his conversation with Zu Li, one of which explained that it was Zu Shizhi's proposition to stick to it for a long time, and you should not raise objections again; The second also warned the generals, Zu Li has handed over all your power of life and death to me, give me honesty, whoever dares to kill Mao will be severely punished!

In fact, this warning is redundant, most of the generals attending the meeting are the original subordinates of Zu Ti, who fought side by side with Pei Gai during the Northern Expedition, and as for those new vassals who may be dissatisfied, such as Xu Gong, most of them are outside, and the old acquaintances may also violate the ancestral covenant.

So the generals agreed in unison, willing to obey the order. Pei Gai ordered Zhang Ping to send the left army to aid Yanzhou, and asked Zu Yue to quickly organize manpower and dig through the river ice to prevent the southern crossing of the Qianjun army - this trick was not difficult to think of, and I don't know if Zu Shishao's head was pumped or what, but he didn't take the initiative to implement it.

Fan Ya stationed the right army in Chenggao Pass, Zu Ji stationed the rear army in Heyin, and Pei Pi defended Jinggi together, and Zu Jian left the front army and the five schools in Luoyang. Immediately, Pei Gaizi took the remaining two armies and went north to help the war in Hanoi.

The Seventh Army was originally in charge of tens of thousands, but now it is only five or six thousand, so Pei Gai's crossing of the river is numbered at twelve or three thousand. He felt that it should be enough to meet this army with Zhen Sui, Li Ju and others, and hold on to the Zhao army without attacking; Once in distress, Fan Ya and Zu Ji crossed the river to the north to help, and it was only a few days.

The army stepped on the ice, and the momentum was huge, and it was naturally impossible for the Zhao army sentry to be unaware, and it was urgent to report to Shi Le at the moment. When Shi Le heard that Pei was coming, he was somewhat taken aback, and said left and right: "If Pei Wenyue will come to the aid of the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong, or it will be twice as large as mine, how should I deal with it?" ”

Zhang Bin comforted him and said: "Pei Wen sent troops to the north to disturb the West River, if he sends an army to the east and competes with me, it will not be an overnight achievement." I expected that this was still the ancestral army of Henan, because the ancestor was seriously ill and did not control the division, and the Jin lord summoned Pei Wenyue to come. Then its military strength is at most comparable to mine, and Your Majesty does not need to worry. ”

Shi Le nodded: "What Taifu said is reasonable. Then he smiled and said, "What am I worried about?" He has been separated from Pei Wenyue for a long time, and he is trying to compete for the territory to determine the strength of victory or defeat - if Pei can be defeated here, and Zu is seriously ill, who can lead the army in Jin Kou? Even if you move forward and surround Luoyang, it will not be difficult. ”

——————————

Besides, Pei should have successfully arrived in the south of Yewang City, and first joined forces with Zhen Sui. He reprimanded Zhen Sui and said, "How did you fall for the tricks of the slaves and be defeated? If you are not defeated, you can hold on to the thieves for a long time, and you don't need me to come to Hanoi in person! ”

Zhen said casually, I didn't expect you to come over...... Although the situation in Hanoi is not favorable to me, as long as the walls are high and the city is defended, there will be no mistakes, and I think that Nashile will not be able to attack it in a short time. After holding each other for a long time, the food and materials of his tens of thousands of troops have been consumed very much, and most of them can only return with feathers.

All in all, the imperial court is really annoying!

But of course, these words can't be said directly to Pei Gaiyan, plus defeat is defeat, and it is useless to whitewash, so he lowered his head with brows and didn't say a word.

Pei should inspect the camp, but it was quite tightly constructed - mostly for the work of Zhou Jin and Wang Tang - no wonder it was able to resist the army on the plain for more than half a month. You must know that although the Zhao army is very strong and has high morale, it does not have enough chance of winning in the face of such a strong fortress - and there is a wild king Jiancheng with its horns; Shi Le was worried that Zu Ti's tens of thousands of troops were still near Luoyang, and once his attack was frustrated and the Jin army reinforcements arrived, the victory or defeat would be reversed in an instant......

Therefore, he used the tactics of Zhang Bin, Zhang Jing and other staff officers to divide his troops many times and try to attack Yanzhou and other places, hoping to mobilize the Jin army and also hope to open up the situation in other directions. All the way to the north, it did break through the Taihang Pass and opened up the contact with Shangdang County, but it was a pity that the Shangdang soldiers had no time to go south; All the way south, although there was a small victory, it was finally blocked back by Zu Yue and failed to seize an inch of land.

The key problem is that although the Yellow River is frozen, it is not as smooth as the avenue after all, once it goes south and goes deep into the enemy's territory, but it is copied out by the Jin army rangers and chiseled through the river ice, then it will become a lone army completely. Therefore, the troops in Yanzhou in the south did not dare to go deeper, nor did they have the determination to fight, so it was naturally difficult to accomplish miraculous feats.

Therefore, Pei Gai's strategy was to dig the ice, first to protect the direction of Yanzhou from enemy attacks, and then consolidate the multi-layered defense from Luoyang to Hanoi, so as to calmly brake, consume the grain and materials of the Zhao army, and make it retreat by itself. And if there are any changes in the situation elsewhere during this period - for example, Su Jun and Feng Long conquer Linzi and completely compress Cao Wei into the land of Guanggu Na, but they have the spare strength to join Shao and continue to advance northward - and it is even possible to launch a full-scale counteroffensive.

Therefore, Shi Le waited for Pei Gai to come to the main decisive battle, but Pei Gai joined forces with Zhen Sui, that is, he made every effort to expand the camp for three consecutive days, and there was no sign of moving forward. Shi Le couldn't help but be a little anxious, and asked left and right, Zhang Jing said: "It's better to use a trick to lure him into battle......

Shi Le shook his head and said: "Pei Wenyue is scheming, it's not easy to induce it......" Then he smiled slightly: "It's been a long time since we have been apart, so it's better for me to go and visit Pei Wenyue, and see how he looks and mighty today, and between his words, he may be able to make an appointment." So he sent someone to ask Pei to come out of the camp for a while.

Pei should have been called to the front of the battle to talk not once or twice, he has a wealth of experience in ensuring his own safety, so he is naturally not afraid. So early the next morning, Zhao Ying first opened the gate, and countless honor guards surrounded Shi Le and rode out. However, according to the prior agreement, in the end, Shi Le only brought Zhang Jing and Zhang Bin, and three hundred elite forbidden troops, and went out to the middle line of the two sides.

As soon as Pei Gai saw Shi Le coming out, he also ordered the door to be opened, with Zhen Sui and Pei Xiong guarding him, carrying bamboo canes, and leading the three hundred cavalry that came with him, riding forward. The two sides stopped at a stone's throw away, and then Shi Le and Zhang Bin and other three horsemen slowly led the reins forward, Pei Gai saw this, and also led Zhen Sui and Pei Xiong forward.

Shi Le was not wearing armor, but was wearing a black robe, and the same was true of Zhang Bin and Zhang Jing around him—of course, it was actually lined with soft armor; Pei Gai was fully dressed in fish scale armor, but he took off his helmet and hung it on the side of the saddle. The six horses gradually approached, and finally stopped three zhang away, Shi Le looked at Pei Gai fixedly, and couldn't help laughing: "Wen Yue, after a few years of separation, I don't want to be so prosperous." ”

Pei Gai replied neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Shi Gong is old, and his sideburns have grown blooming. ”

When Shi Le heard this, he couldn't help but raise his head, touched his sideburns, and then smiled slightly bitterly: "Life is short, but the world is big, so if you want to settle the world with the strength of one person, how tiring is it?" Gray hair is born naturally. ”

The corners of Pei Gai's mouth twitched slightly: "It turns out that Shi Gong is just working hard alone, but he is not like me to become a million subjects, enemies and enemies, and vow to destroy the rebels, then my worries are naturally far less than Shi Gong." ”

Shi Le raised his eyebrows: "The words of Wenyue are still so sharp." But I don't know when we meet today, I don't have armor, but the covenant is all armored, and I have to strike first, so that I can come out - do you have to be afraid of me? ”
