Chapter 30: The Oath

You Yao Youziyuan had some regret and took refuge in Pei Gai - although he couldn't help himself - because there were no officers or generals in the Xuzhou army, most of them looked at him sideways, except for Pei Gai and Yin Qiao, no one could afford him. Follow? Dream?. Originally, the You family can barely be regarded as a big surname in Feng Yi County, and the whole world is ranked quite low, and You Yao himself is not far famous, so he was promoted by Yin Qiao between Li Shu, Pei Gai was awarded the important position of the governor of the record at first sight, who can be convinced?

Everyone knows that Pei should hire people regardless of their background, but you can't help but look at your resume, right? Although this wanderer has been filial piety, he has never even been a small official before, what qualifications does he have to ascend to the sky in one step? Even Pei Wei was skeptical of Pei Gai's appointment.

Therefore, everyone guessed that the wanderer was far more than a golden horse bone, and he was just a posing thing that Pei should use to appease Sergeant Guan. It's a pity that Feng Yi County has been repeatedly attacked by soldiers, most of the big clans fled south to Chang'an, and even many simply went to Hanzhong, so they were barely able to pick up the goods on this road.

You Yao's cognition of the surrounding environment is very keen, he quickly noticed the direction of the wind, and he wondered in his heart, what did Pei Shizhong like about me? Even if you want to take me as an example and appease Sergeant Guan, you can do it for a scribe with a hundred stones first...... However, the situation does not dare to resign, especially when the strong enemy is outside, I am afraid that I will be misunderstood and want to escape, and even have the intention of throwing Hu!

He recalled the day he first met, Pei Gai had half-jokingly, saying that he wanted to invite himself to lobby the Void Division, so when the Void Army came to the city, he ran to Pei Gai several times and asked for his life - whether it can be done or not, I dare to enter the tiger's den alone, if I can return safely, there must not be too many strange words in the army.

It's a pity that Pei Gai repeatedly declined You Yao's self-recommendation.

In fact, Pei should be reluctant, afraid of danger - especially after personally whipping Liang Xu - but it is inconvenient to say it clearly, so he said: "Except for the far away, how can there be a reason to be willing to make peace without fighting?" And I heard that Yiyu relied on his brave name and was arrogant, so if I can't take his anger first, how can I move his heart with words? Ziyuan does not need to be anxious, there will be a day when he will rely on Yu Qing. ”

Today, when Zhen Sui captured Yiyu on the battlefield, You Yao was lying on the desk and writing a bookβ€”Pei Gai had given him almost all the desk work, and he had to write to various people, including Wannian Liyun and Chang'an Suoqi, to ask for reinforcementsβ€”and suddenly heard about this, so he hurriedly came to Pei Gai and asked Pei Gai to let Yiyu return.

Zhen Sui next to him was begging for a reward with a shy face, and when he heard this, he was furious, rushed over and grabbed You Yao's collar, raised his fist to aim at the other party's door, and said hatefully: "The master worked hard to catch it, but you said you wanted to let it go?" Aren't you a spy of Hu Gou?! ”

Pei Gai scolded: "Let go, don't offend the travelogue room!" ”

Zhen Sui spread his hand stupidly, but his mouth was still unrelenting: "I used to hear the governor say that in ancient times, a famous general captured the enemy chief on the battlefield, but was released by the monarch, and the general spit on the monarch in front of him, saying what...... What is the power of the martial man, and what about the woman? ”

You Yao glanced at him expressionlessly: "But, 'the martial arts are detained, the woman is temporarily exempted from the country, the army is really and the revenge is long, and there is no day to die'?" This ancestor of the spitting Jin Xianggong also. ”

"Yes, that's right!"

Pei Gai glared at Zhen Suiyan, ordered him to shut up, and then turned to You Yao: "Why does Ziyuan want to indulge Yiyu?" Please teach me. ”

You Yao took a long breath, then took a deep look at Pei Gai, and replied: "Although the last official is in charge of the city's affairs, he has also personally ascended to the city to watch the thief's situation, and every time he hears Ming Gong, Pei Changshi, Tao Sima and others talk about the war. In the past few days, Hu and Xuzhi have attacked alternately, and they have not cooperated with each other, which shows that Liu Yao failed to obey Yiyu's heart and removed the military handle. If you kill Yiyu in front of the battle now, you will be depressed and will definitely retreat; But if they do, they will seek to take it back, and they will not retreat. Liu Yao can take advantage of this opportunity, either by inducement or force, in order to seize the whole army. The cooperation of the two parts, its momentum is more powerful, and it will be difficult to control - I hope that Ming Gong will think twice. ”

You Yao's words are clear and clear, the words are not obscure, and there are no idioms or allusions, so even Zhen Sui can roughly understand it. Zhen immediately said, since this is the case, then let's quickly kill Yiyu and throw his head out of the city, isn't it?

You Yao said no-"If I kill Yiyu, although his soldiers temporarily retreat, but from now on, Jin and the enmity of the void will not share the sky, and they will definitely help Hu from the left, leaving endless disasters." If you indulge Yiyu and say that he will return to my Jin, then there will be a void in the upper county, and Liu Yao will be affected by the enemy on his back and will be difficult to drown for a long time - he only has to cross the river to the east and return to one way, then Feng Yi's whole county can be finished. ”

Pei Cai stroked his beard, groaned slightly, and then turned his head to look at Pei Wei. Pei Wei nodded: "What the governor said is reasonable, but I don't know who can talk about Yiyu and make him retreat?" ”

You Yao immediately asked for an order: "The last official has been in Feng Yi for a long time, adjacent to Shangjun, and in the past, he had a lot of production in the clan, and he also dealt with the Void Division...... "Since they are adjacent to Di and Qiang, of course the You clan will use their own products to trade cattle, sheep, and leather goods with the Void Division." ”

Pei Gai said okay-" Yi Yu was still unconscious, and when he woke up, he went away from Zi to say that he had repented. I don't want him to attack Liu Yao, but if he is willing to retreat, he will be the first credit - as for how much money he is allowed, Ziyuan can consider it himself. ”

You Yao had just received the order, but Zhen Sui couldn't help but shout again: "Do you really want to let it go?" But my credit is indelible! ”

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

After being in a coma for more than an hour, he slowly woke up, and he felt that his whole head was extremely heavy, and the pain on his face was unbearable. He gritted his teeth and opened his eyes, and found himself lying frozen in a dimly lit room, reaching out and touching his face, as if wrapped in cloth......

I heard someone ask slowly, "Your Excellency is awake?" ”

Yi Yu half-propped up his body with his elbows, and followed the prestige, only to see that it seemed to be a Jin person, thirty or forty years old, but his face was extremely unfamiliarβ€”yes, he had never seen a few Jin people in his life.

"Who are you? Where am I? ”

"A certain is the governor of Pei's middle and lower scenes, surnamed You. Your Excellency has now been captured and is in the city of Dali. ”..

Yi Yu suddenly remembered what happened before he fell unconscious, and the scene of the rabbit rising and falling seemed to have slowed down countless times, and slowly flowed into his heart. He couldn't help but widen his eyes, pulling the broken bridge of his nose, and it was even more painful, but he wasn't afraid of pain, what he was afraid of was-

"Who is my captor?"

"He is the number one warrior in our army, and the 'Fire Robbery Battalion' Governor Zhen is also with him."

Oh, this name seems to have been mentioned by Liu Yao...... Yi Yu rolled over and got up, sat cross-legged, and looked left and right, it seemed that there were only two of them in the room, and there was no rope on his body...... Can I take the opportunity to escape? I guess there is no escape...... So take this surnamed You as a hostage? He is not Pei Gai, and I don't know how high the position of secretary is......

It's better to talk first and figure out the current situation, thinking of this, Yi Yu couldn't help but say hatefully: "Zhen Sui...... Hmph, this person is not a warrior, he specializes in winning by trickery, I am captured today, but my heart is not convinced! ”

The person who was waiting here to talk to Yi Yu was naturally Youyao, and he smiled slightly when he heard this: "On the battle array, only win or lose, regardless of means." If you compete with General Zhen in martial arts in the future, you will naturally use a knife and a gun, pure strength and skill; Now that we are dividing the enemy, what else do you say about 'tricks to win'? There are only 40,000 soldiers in my city, and your Excellency and Liu Yao will attack with an army of more than 100,000 troops. ”

Yi Yu snorted again: "You will eventually have a strong city to rely on......"

"A fortified city was not born out of nature, but was built by our own hands, like a military horse and a weapon. Do you wait for the attack to come and attack without armor, nor on horseback, nor with armies? If our army is not convinced, will you wait for it to retreat and send 40,000 men alone to fight our army in front of the city? ”

"Yes!"

You Yao smiled: "That is, Your Excellency allows it, is Liu Yao willing?" Could it be that Your Excellency is the lord of Liu Yao, or is Liu Yao obedient to Your Excellency? ”

Yi Yu slammed the ground: "Liu Yao trapped me, if I didn't obey his plan, why would I do this?!" "What "unsaddle and release the horse" to lure the enemy, what Jin people still have to open the city gate and put the suspension bridge, and can't get out, I completely fell for Liu Yao's bastard!

You Yao took the opportunity to ask: "The Void Department is nomadic in Shangjun, and has always been ordered by my Jin Tianzi, why did you turn to help Hu?" This move is tantamount to digging a trap and burying itself, don't you know the right canal? ”

Yi Yuxin said, why do we want to help Hu? Then you still need to ask, Liu Yao gave money...... What else is "digging a trap and burying yourself" - "If you break Dali, Liu Yao will allow me to give a county child jade silk, and I will help him." This move is naturally not good for you and other Jin people, and what harm is it to me to be eliminated? ”

You Yao shook his head gently, and his whole face seemed to be full of two words - "stupid", as if he was forcing himself to suppress the impatience in his heart, and explained to the other party: "When I was strong and prosperous, I was in vain to remove Feng Zhengshuo, and I did not send troops to conquer, nor did I ask for tribute, what is it?" Shangjun has become pasture, and those who are not taken by our Chinese and can be cultivated are not beneficial, so it is better to give them up. The Hu people are different, they also know how to graze, once the power is great, how can they not be greedy for the land of the noble department? It is to eliminate Ke'an from Jin, and from Hu will be annexed by it, such a simple truth, is it that the father and son are fascinated by a little wealth, so they are blinded by a leaf? ”

He said it very well, and Yi Yu really couldn't refute it for a while.

I heard You Yao say again: "Liu Yao was named the king of Yong by Hu Han, and Feng Yi was forbidden by himself, how could he allow others to take away the population and goods?" This is just a trickery to deceive the father and son. Your ministry has a lot of cavalry, and you don't know my Chinese cities, but Liu Yao drove your troops to attack the city, so what his original intention is, I don't need to ask. But if you refuse to obey, he will be angry with you, and he will have an excuse to go north to the county; If the elite knights die under the city, Liu Yao can also enter the upper county as soon as he returns. I compare this matter to a person, if a person is bribed by a thief and withdraws the fence, and then the barrier is removed, the thief can enter the house, and then those goods will still fall into the hands of Liu Yao? Not only did the father and son gain nothing, but I am afraid that even their lives would not be saved! ”

When Yi Yu heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked, and he felt that his back was sweating...... This Jin man is very reasonable, especially Liu Yao's face in the past few days, I have seen it, at first he was humble and generous, and he wanted to push my people forward and hit the city wall; Now that I have made a little prevarication, he is all dissatisfied. Chen Yuanda came over two days ago, and it is estimated that he was also forced by Liu Yao, and I saw that he was full of expressions on his face that if I did not agree to attack the city, he would be killed by a head......

You Yao saw that the other party was silent, so he struck while the iron was hot and said: "I respect my father and son, so it is better to abandon Hu and return to Jin." If you are willing, you can immediately attack Liu Yao with our army and force him to retreat to Hedong. If you are still hesitant, you can stop your troops for the time being, and strictly defend the territory to see how our army breaks the beard. After Liu Yao is defeated, I will recover Feng Yi, but I can open a mutual market along the border and share peace with my father and son, wouldn't it be good?

"And Tie Fu is still in Shuofang, fighting for the tiger, and the enemy of this father and son. And it is really unwise to respect the father and son not to the north to resist Tiefu, but to disturb the Jin from the south. If you are willing to follow my words, in the future, you can ask the Son of Heaven to send salt and iron, help your ministry and Tiefu and Shuofang, and forever serve me in the northern part of the Jin Dynasty. China is big, rich in products, how can Hu have? It is only a few counties in the east of the river, how can it be used to fund your department? Liu Yao's words are not credible, and Your Excellency must not be confused by them! ”

You Yao talked eloquently, did not say anything righteous, only stated the benefits and losses, and finally persuaded Yiyu. This is mainly because Yi Yu and Liu Yao have been very unhappy recently, and they have long broken their promises, if it is still the first time they see each other, let alone You Ziyuan, even Wang Gong, who has a better tongue, probably won't be able to convince him - Pei Gai did not let You Yao go out of the city to lobby the Void Elimination Department before, and this is also the reason.

In addition, after all, he is already a prisoner, and the knife is on the neck, as long as he is given enough steps to go down, the request is not very thick, how can Yi Yu not agree?

So in the end, You Yao didn't allow a grain of rice, and only relied on some lies, so he said that Yiyu and Pei should swear a blood oath and express their attitude to return to Jin - when the oath was made, Pei should deliberately send Zhen Sui away, so as not to remember the hatred of being captured, and there would be any repetition in his state of mind. However, Yi Yu also said that my family has received Liu Yao's wealth and goods, and it is really inconvenient to attack each other, once I leave the city and return to the camp, I will immediately pack up and leave, and that's it.

In any case, Liu Yao also has an army of 100,000, and if he attacks it, Yiyu has no chance of winning - the Jin people said well, go out of the city to attack, but what if they also break their promises like me and make excuses not to come out, so that I am alone against the Hu army, then what should I do?

Pei Cai didn't force him, and gave him a horse, and let Yi Yu out of the city - the armor was not given, the armor was incomplete when you entered the city, and we helped you bandage the wound and apply medicine, which is enough.

During this time, soldiers came from time to time to report that the enemy camp outside the city was noisy and chaotic, and that they might come to attack at any time. Therefore, Pei Gai also stayed in Yiyu for a short time, and let him out of the city without waiting for dark. Since the enemy was in the camp and there was still some distance from the city, he boldly opened the city gate, lowered the drawbridge, and allowed Yiyu to gallop out on horseback.

Pei Gai, Pei Wei and the others stood at the head of the city, watching Yi Yu leave. Pei Wei suddenly whispered to himself: "But when I see it, I don't know what the result is......" Pei Gai smiled: "Uncle is afraid that Yiyu will betray his trust?" "You think too much, I don't think so. Pei Wei shook his head lightly: "I'm not afraid of its treachery, but I'm afraid of its death!" ”
