Pei should run to tell Zhang Bin about it, and almost hide Wang Zan to see Pei, and he went to see Wang Zan, and the conversation between the two sides roughly recounted-I believe that someone would have reported to Zhang Bin a long time ago, or Shi Le-and finally said: "If you look at your intentions, you will want to defect." It is to be cited, and there is no substantiated evidence, if it is concealed, I am afraid that it will be affected by it in the future. is to sue Zhang Jun, whether to report to the lord, Zhang Jun can also decide himself. ”

Zhang Bin nodded: "I know." Then he raised his eyebrows: "Pei Lang, why don't you ...... with them?"

Pei Gai stiffened his neck, straightened his chest, and spread his hands: "My generation of scholars, read the books of sages, and stand up honestly - I really won't be a hypocrisy, and I won't deceive people!" ”

Zhang Bin said with a smile: "In the past, in the camp, I pretended to press the map, but attacked Ming Gong with jade Ruyi, isn't it a hypocrisy?" ”

Pei Gai replied without changing his face: "At this moment, how can you deceive others for a long time? ”

Zhang Bin hurriedly restrained his smile: "This joke is ear-catching." After thinking for a while: "In this case, Pei Lang does not have to deal with them anymore, if they do anything in the future, it will be on me, and Pei Lang's aunt and nephew will not be affected." ”

Pei Gai took a deep look, then said goodbye to Zhang Bin and returned home. He didn't go to see Pei Shi first, but went back to the house to write a letter and sent Pei Ren to deliver it to Wang Zan. The letter is very simple, to the effect that I have not heard anything you have said to me, and it is better for us to reduce the number of contacts in the future.

The letter was written on a wooden slab, and the two pieces of wood were combined and tied with a rope, which was a common letter in those days. If it is an important official document, it may also be smeared with sealing mud on the knot and stamped with a seal. Originally, the Pei family and the Wang family were in the same city, only dozens of steps away, and there was nothing inconvenient in the letter, so there was no need to stamp it at all, but Pei Cai just found a stone and carved a small seal to stamp it - there was no sealing mud, no cinnabar, and it was directly ink.

Wang Zan followed the letter, and first frowned and was stunned: This is sealed with ink, where is the particularity? Immediately opened the letter and took a look, Pei Wenyue meant rejecting people thousands of miles away...... Wait, since that's the case...... Ink seal?!

——————————

Shi Le pretended to attack Chen Wu of Pengguan in order to paralyze Wang Mi, and wait for him to move first, which would definitely not last long. Thinking that Wang Mi once sent Liu Jun to Qingzhou to contact Cao Wei, then Cao Wei should always give a reply, as short as ten days, as long as half a month, if Liu Jun does not return, the reply can not be written, Wang Mi will be suspicious. What will he do then? Do you ignore Shi Le, go straight to Qingzhou, or simply turn your head and attack Shi Le?

Zhang Bin analyzed Shi Le - later he also informed Pei Gai of the general content - according to the report, Wang Mi's current situation is somewhat similar to that of Gou Xi, and he also looks at the big shelf, but in fact, the inner bag is gradually empty, and the generals Xu Miao and others abandon him one after another. Therefore, Wang Mi will never dare to take the initiative to attack Mengcheng - Shi Le annexed Gou Xi's department, and his strength has grown rapidly, and it is no longer comparable to Wang Mi - it is only possible to advance eastward quickly to meet Cao Wei, then we will follow behind and try to defeat Wang Mi before their two armies meet, so that we can not be afraid of Cao Weiye. Of course, maybe Wang Mi felt this, so he was stationed in Xiangguan and did not move, if so, things would be more difficult to do - Xiangguan was dangerous, easy to overcome, if Cao Wei came from Qingzhou to help, the outcome was unpredictable......

Then I have to consume it first to see who can't hold my breath first.

But soon news came, Wang Mi neither guarded nor left, and I don't know how, he actually fought with Liu Ruibu, a "beggar thief" who wandered to Kuxian and Qiaoguo, and also sent a letter to Mengcheng, saying that Liu Rui was planning to go north to reinforce Chen Wu, I helped you stop it, but I didn't expect the battle situation to be unfavorable - why don't you hurry up and come over to help me, when will you wait?

Shi Le invited Diao Ying and Zhang Bin to invite the envoys to a banquet, and repeated the words during the banquet, and came to the conclusion that Wang Mi was indeed fighting with Liu Rui - not as if he was fighting against our enemy Chen Wu, but pretending to be - and as for whether he helped us stop people...... The devil believes in him! And Wang Mi suffered several defeats in a row, and was even forced to Xiangguan by the "beggar thief" for a time, which caused the situation to be quite unoptimistic, so he sent a letter to ask for help.

Hearing Zhang Bin's report, Shi Le couldn't help but pouted and smiled: "He can't even win a 'beggar thief', and he still wants to plot against me?" I don't have a lot of strength, but I don't have a small appetite! ”

Diao Yingfeng advised: "Ming Gongxiu wants to underestimate the begging work, many of them are not comparable to ordinary homeless people. And when our army first attacked Pengguan, didn't it also suffer defeat? I think that Wang Mi was careless about the enemy, and there were many foot soldiers in his department, and it was difficult to fight with the beggars in the plains, resulting in this defeat. ”

Shi Le rubbed his chin and asked, "Will Wang Mi die at the hands of beggars?" ”

Zhang Bin shook his head and said "difficult" - "The pass is steep, and it will not be able to be conquered with begging equipment." And if Liu Rui can kill Wang Mi and join the others, it will become a problem for our army's henchmen - Wang Mi can be paralyzed, and begging for life is as deep as the sea with me, and it may be difficult to calculate. For today's plan, it is better to agree to Wang Mi and wave his army south to help suppress ......"

Shi Le took a few cases and said that he wanted to annex me, but I wanted to save him, how can there be such a reason in the world? I'm not going!

Zhang Bin hurriedly persuaded: "The so-called 'will be defeated, will be assisted; If you want to take it, you will be with it'......" Shi Le asked with wide eyes and confusion: "Mr. Zhang, let's talk slowly—what do you mean by this?" ”

Zhang Bin was also used to it, and immediately gave an explanation: "Just like doing business, if you want to make profits, you must invest first, which is called 'want to take first'." For example, in the past, the Jin Dynasty offered the public to take the multiplier of yielding and weeping thorns, and the false way was in Yu to cut down Yu, and after the destruction of Yu, the horse and Bi returned to the Jin room - this is also called. ”

Shile said that I roughly understood, and you told me the story of the "False Journey".

"Ming Gong often worries about Wang Mi, and Mi is in Xiangguan, it is easy to get down, it is better to temporarily allow his invitation, and attack Liu Rui together, Liu Rui will be defeated, Wang Mi will definitely believe that I have no doubt, and then he can be taken out of Xiangguan, which is convenient to act."

Shi Le thought about it for a while, and finally made a decision - Okay, I'll listen to you, Mr. Zhang. Immediately commanded generals such as Jiao'an, Zhixiong, and Lu Ming, led 5,000 elite cavalry, and went south to take Kuxian. The matter of staying behind was handed over to Diao Ying and Zhang Bin, and they deliberately did not send any tasks to Gou Xi and Wang Zan......

Liu Rui was attacking Wang Mi's army south of Ningping City, and suddenly he was attacked by the enemy on his back and was stupid on the spot. In addition, from Kuxian County through Ningping City to Xiangguan, in addition to a piece of sand and water in this more than 100 miles, almost a horse Pingchuan, Zhengli Hu galloped, so as soon as the battle was engaged, the "beggar army" collapsed on the whole line, Liu Rui single-handedly broke out of the encirclement, fled back to the country.

Shi Le plundered countless supplies, captured more than 30,000 people, including women and children, and escorted them all back to Mengcheng, and he himself did not stay long near Kuxian, and did not meet Wang Mi at all, so he waved his army in triumph. Wang Mi hurriedly sent someone to deliver a letter, on the one hand, he was sincerely grateful, and at the same time asked: Shilong, why did you go so fast, and didn't let me thank you in person? By the way, let's talk about going to Qingzhou together.

Shi Le asked Zhang Bin to reply and said: "At the beginning of Mengcheng, more than 50,000 soldiers were collected. Worried that the prince was in danger, Le Nai rose up and hurried to help, but he did not dare to drown for a long time...... If the public is interested, please go north to my own party, and Ledang and the road will be sprinkled and waited. ”

Wang Mi did not doubt that he had him, so he waited to lead the army to go. Changshi Zhang Song advised him: "Shi Shilong's heart is unpredictable, and Ming Gong should not go, so send an envoy to thank him and discuss with him." We must guard against the disaster of Zhuzhu and Sun Jun! Wang Mi laughed and said, "Do you think I am the king of Wu or Zhuge Ke?" "He said you can rest assured, Shi Le will not have any bad intentions, you think, if he really intends to annex my department, he will not come to save me a few days ago, maybe he will join forces with Liu Rui to beat me......

"Shi Lexin and Gou Xi's army, claiming to be 50,000, or a lie, there are always 20,000 or 30,000 victorious soldiers. As he said, he still needs to be retrained, so that the city of Mongolia is unstable and he does not dare to stay in the territory for a long time, so how can he have the appetite to annex our department again? Besides, I am above Shile, and I am an important general of the imperial court, so how dare he harm me if he does not have an edict? ”

So Wang Mi took three thousand elites and went straight to himself.

——————————

On the question of how to clean up Wang Mi, Shi Le and his generals had a big discussion. Diao Ying and others all believed that Wang Mi should be kidnapped, annexed and annexed, and then declared Wang Mi's crime, escorted him to Pingyang, and handed over to Liu Cong, the lord of the Han Dynasty. Gou Xi even asked for an order: "After the Ming Duke takes over Wang Mi, the minister is willing to take his crown and seal the letter to receive Xiangguan." ”

Shi Le looked at Zhang Bin, and Zhang Bin said slowly: "It's better to kill him than to capture it." ”

Gou Xi said how can you kill it, once you kill Wang Mi, his subordinates will inevitably scatter, and we won't be able to get it. Zhang Bin shook his head and said: "Our army is only compatible with Gou Sima's department, and its heart is difficult, how can we have the strength to annex Wang Mi's department again?" It is enough to make it not a disaster—how dare you win Longwangshu? ”

Diao Ying said: "Wang Mi is an important general of the country, and his position is still above that of the Ming Duke, how can he kill without permission, and he is not afraid of the punishment of the Son of Heaven?" Zhang Bin continued to shake his head: "Since I know that Wang Mi is an important general of the country, you can't kill without permission, but how can you arrest without permission?" Left and right is a crime, it is better to kill it to prevent future troubles, if it is arrested and sent to Pingyang, the Son of Heaven forgives him for his innocence, how should he be punished? "If you are afraid of knots, the best way is to slaughter the other party, and it will naturally be a hundred.

Shi Le looked at Pei Gai again, Pei Gai still said the old saying: "What Zhang Jun said is true, may the lord obey." Shi Le asked vigorously, you can say a few more words, don't be so stingy, Pei should think about it, and then said: "I have a poem, please listen to it, lord......"

Shi Le just wanted to say that it was not enough for you to show off the allusions, and you actually started to compose poems? Where do I know poetry? But Pei Gai immediately chanted four lines of poetry, which were very easy to understand, and even Shi Le understood without explanation-

"Leaving the grass on the plain, one year old and one withered. Wildfires burn inexhaustibly, and spring breezes blow and regenerate. ”

Pei Gai then added: "It depends on why the lord and Wang Mi are waiting for others. If you think it is a mustard, you can catch it; If you think it is a masterpiece, how dare you indulge it? Gaozu of the former Han Dynasty was defeated against Xiang Yu in a hundred battles, but he was able to win the next battle, which shows that a temporary setback cannot determine the long-term - unless this person is dead, no one can predict what will happen in the future. ”

Wang Mina was also a famous executioner at that time, and he didn't know how much blood of innocent people was stained on his hands. There is a record in the Book of Jin, saying that in the battle of Ningping City, "more than 100,000 people died in the prince's family, and Wang Midi Zhang burned the rest of the people and ate them." Later generations mostly blamed Shi Le for this evil act of cannibalism, but in fact, there should be a full stop between the two sentences, not a comma - Wang Zhang is not Shi Le's subordinate, Wang Mi was still attacking Xiangcheng County with Liu Yao at that time, and there is no record that he sent troops to Ningping City with Shi Le. Therefore, it should be the remnants of Sima Yue, who fled in the Battle of Ningping City, who were hunted by Wang Zhang, and ended up with a tragic end of being burned and eaten......

Wang Zhang is a man-eating demon, so what kind of good thing is his brother Wang Mi Neng - if I have such a relative, I will directly kick it to death! So Pei should wish that these Hu and Han generals would start infighting, attack and kill each other, and the more fierce they kill, the better - anyway, one is counted as one, only the invincible, not the innocent!

Zhang Bin is right, you directly slaughtered Wang Miduo simply!

Before Pei Gai's words fell, Zhixiong in the next seat shouted: "What Mr. Pei said is, it's better to kill him!" His call was followed by Xuan An, and then several Hu generals also crossed their arms to express their support - they didn't think much about it, they just wanted to kill people.

Shi Le stared at Pei Gai for a long time, then moved his gaze back to Zhang Bin's face, and after thinking about it for a long time, he finally shook his head: "Minister of State, how can you kill without permission?" Let's take it down first, and then make a difference. Then he looked at Gou Xi: "Dao General, if you can capture Wang Mi for me, I will hand over his troops to the commander." Gou Xi was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed down to receive the order.

——————————

Shi Le had secretly transferred back the cunning Kong Chang from the Pengguan front in advance, and ordered him to lead the elite of his troops to quietly enter Jiwu, and then make an appointment with Wang Mi to bring 3,000 soldiers and horses to meet him - and also take Gou Xi and Wang Zan with him. Wang Mi, didn't you say anything about "making Xi the public left, Mi being the public right, and the world is not enough to decide", then okay, I'll let the two of you meet and hold hands by the way......

On this day, after Shi Le, Gou Xi and others led their troops out of the city, Pei should return to his residence, bored, and at the same time had a premonition that something big was about to happen—not to capture Wang Mila, it was originally a plan—and it was somewhat uneasy. I want to practice calligraphy and calm down my mood, but unfortunately after picking up for a long time, the paper has indeed been completely used up...... I was about to cut some blank scraps for emergencies, when I suddenly heard Pei Xiong's voice outside: "Mr. Zhang is visiting." ”

Pei should welcome the general out, only to see that Zhang Bin was still going back to the door to visit, only with a veteran, with his hands behind his back, standing outside the door, looking up at the sky. Pei should invite him in, Zhang Bin glanced at him: "Pei Lang, this wind will start." ”

Pei Cai heard what he said, so he asked: "I don't know where the wind comes from?" ”

"Naturally, it should be the southwest wind, so that Ming Gong can go straight to the northeast - Handan and Xiangguo's covenant, do you still remember Pei Langke? Hahahaha~~"
