Pei Gai didn't plan to directly fire and merge with Lu Yun, after all, his name was not right, and his words were not in line with the same palace as a minister, even if people didn't send troops to rescue, there was no reason for you to draw a knife directly, so he annexed 5,000 soldiers and beheaded Wu Pi, just to provoke Lu Yun and see his reaction. If Lu Yun was angry and took any military action first, then Pei should have an excuse.

However, according to the analysis of Pei Wei, You Yao and others, "The general of Koji is gentle and indecisive, and the city is humble and weak, so he will not dare to wave his army at me." They estimated that Lu Yun might adopt three strategies: the best strategy, send an envoy to the court, and sue Pei for the crime of trespassing. However, theoretically, this situation is unlikely to be won, and Koji Zhongke is just using this as an excuse to try to restore rapprochement with Suo, so that the two families can join forces to defend against Pei Gai.

Pei Gai nodded when he heard this: "If Suo and Koji are combined, it is indeed not easy to deal with." However, Suo Juxiu is domineering, and Koji Zhongke has a deep suspicion with him, can they be compatible? "They want to join forces, they should join forces as early as when Liu Yao led the troops to come over the last time, if they can work together, why be afraid of Hu Lu?

However, it is difficult to say that some people are cowardly in the foreign war and heroic in the civil war, selling their butts to the invaders, but at the same time pointing the tip of the knife at their compatriots...... "I only hope that the prince will wait for Chang'an to enter Chang'an, and he can act with a camera." ”

Ko Yun's middle strategy is to gather surrounding forces to jointly resist Pei Gai. Whether this policy is feasible or not, it is also the same as the previous policy, theoretically speaking, the counties and states in Guanzhong, and even Sima Bao, the king of Nanyang, when Hu Kou is surging and killing, how can they still listen to the summons of Lu Yun? But maybe people think that Hu Kou is terrible, even if Pei Cai, who can defeat Hu Kou, is not so terrible...... Because Pei Wenyue is a son of a family after all, there is a bottom line in doing things, you see if he dares to kill Wu Pi, he doesn't dare to kill Lichang, we are all 2,000 stones, what can he do with me?

Pei Gai smiled when he heard this: "It is best for them to come, just like Wei Wuzhi's determination of Guanxi, hearing that the thieves are coming and rejoicing, cloud: 'In the long run, if the thieves are each based on the danger and obstacles, they will not be determined in one or two years; Today, they are all coming to gather, although there are many of them, they are not subdued, the army has no suitable master, and they can be destroyed in one fell swoop......" I just cleaned them up together, how much trouble will be saved!

Lu Yun's next strategy was to simply admit his guilt and send an envoy to apologize to Pei Gai, saying that my majesty was unfavorable and misguided about state affairs, and Pei Wen asked you to kill it well...... But please put Kojichang back and let me punish myself? If this is the case, Pei Gai can try to subdue Ko Yun and swallow the crowd.

They had a perfect plan, just waiting for Koji Yun to make a move, but who would have thought that the left and right, etc., would be as calm as water in Wan Nian, as if nothing had happened. Pei Wei frowned at this, and You Yao also felt that Tao Kan didn't react, this kind of court fight, he didn't want to get involved at all, and in the end, Pei should slap his thigh, and said forget it, anyway, my business here has already been done, and Lu Yun won't come to me, so I'll take the initiative to find him.

Of course, Wan Nian had already received the news, and Wu Pi's bloody head really scared Lu Yun a lot, and he paused again and again, saying: "As soon as Pei Wen won the party, he was so arrogant, as if he was another giant show, what can I do?" ”

Wang Yin comforted him and said: "The two of them are slow in their military march, and Wu Pi claims to want to shake his tongue and puff out his lips to say Pei Gong, but I don't know what to say, which causes Pei Gong to be angry and angry. I expect that Pei Gong will not blame Ming Gong, otherwise he will not apologize in a letter, and there will be words of apology......"

He was confused, but Lu Yun was more shrewd, and immediately pointed to Wu Pi's head: "This is an apology?" Clearly threaten me! ”

Wang Yin hurriedly changed his words and said: "Pei Gong is not worried, lest he secretly communicate with Suo Gong, this is Suo Gong's instructions." The Duke of Ming should urgently send people to Chang'an to inquire about the news of the imperial court, whether there is any intention of the two families to join forces to attack me......"

Lu Yun said that I might as well impeach Pei to kill without permission, Wang Yin said, "No", "This is self-defeating, Suo Gong covets the power of the Ming Gong army for a long time, and he will not allow it to be played, and on the contrary, he will blame Ming Gong." With the foolishness of the last officials, when the letter to the counties and countries in the Guanzhong guarded the prime minister, prepared to say that Pei had no form, killed without authorization, and was afraid that he would not be subordinate, please lead the troops to help, and guard them for 10,000 years. ”

Lu Yun asked: "Before Liu Yao came, they all sat and watched the success or failure, and did not send a single shot, how can they be willing to answer the call now?" ”

Wang Yin said: "There is no need for them to move troops, as long as the voices and qi are connected and each is on guard, then Pei Wenyue is surrounded by enemies, and he will not dare to coerce Ming Gong." The only thing that can be asked for help is Liang and Qin Erzhou. Liangzhou is remote, and Zhang Muqian has sent troops to help many times, and his 2,000 soldiers are still stranded in Chang'an, I am afraid that they will not come to the rescue; However, the king of Nanyang has coveted Chang'an and the Son of Heaven for a long time, or is willing to use the excuse of resolving the fight and send troops eastward, then I might as well rely on it to resist Suo and Pei. ”

Lu Yun said Okay, then I'll write a letter, "Pei Wenyu, how should I phrase it?" ”

Wang Yin said that there was no need to word, "And when we wait for the plan to be decided, foreign aid is coming, and it is not too late to ask for the guilt." ”

Therefore, Wan Nian's letter to Pei Gai and Wu Pi's head, just like an ostrich burying its head in the sand, did not see it, ignored it at all, did not reply to the letter, and did not take action to write a letter for help, which is not a big move, and it is difficult for Pei Gai to find out.

Seven or eight days have passed in a blink of an eye, and the ministers of all counties and countries have written back, echoing in unison, saying that Pei Gai has really done something wrong, arrogant and domineering, and unanimous...... But as Lu Yun expected, no one really took any practical measures, and it is estimated that the letter sent to him may not have time to be presented to Sima Bao. On this day, he suddenly received an edict from the imperial court, on the grounds that he had lost Feng Yi and the two counties of Beidi in the past, and did not save Dali, he dismissed the position of general and restored the former leading general but still retained the title of governor of the capital.

Lu Yun said angrily: "Suo Juxiu also came to fall into the well!" Then he was shocked: "I don't care if I want to conspire with Pei Wen?!" ”

Wang Yin comforted: "Otherwise, if the Duke of Suo has a contract with Pei Wen to seek public will, he will dismiss the title of the Governor of the Ming Prince." Although he was demoted now, he was still the governor of Guanzhong, because he wanted to make Ming Gong and Pei Wenyue fight, and he could profit from it, and he could also ...... "Lu Yun was indecided, which led to chaos, but this time Wang Yin had to see it more clearly than him.

Wang Yin immediately said: "For today's plan, I'm afraid I can only rely on the king of Nanyang to save it." ”

Lu Yun said that my words were not sincere enough in my writing the day before yesterday, otherwise you can help me write a letter again, lower my posture, and say that I welcome the king of Nanyang into the court...... However, Wang Yin's writing may not be, and suddenly an urgent report arrived, saying that Pei should come from Dali in person.

Lu Yun asked in surprise, "How many people are here?" ”

"The mountains are all over the field, the banners are fluttering, I don't know how many people and horses!"

Wang Yin was also taken aback: "This must be here to apologize, otherwise why would you be so excited?" ”

Ko Yun glanced at him, and said in his heart, "You're not talking nonsense." He is really depressed, he usually reuses Wu Pi and Wang Yin, and those two goods can't fight, but in terms of political disputes, it seems that he can still help himself...... But now that I think about it, it's all a little bit of soup that uses "calm and quiet" as an excuse, but in fact, I don't do anything at all, and the two of them can't be used at all!

Thinking about it this way, Wu Pi really died unjustly......

In desperation, he had to order all departments to retreat for 10,000 years and defend the fortress tightly to prevent the Xuzhou army from attacking.

In fact, Pei Gai only brought six battalion leaders and more than 6,000 people over, but he spread his banner widely, and it seemed that there were tens of thousands of troops. He also refused to take the lead in attacking Ko Yun, so as not to be untruthful, and wanted to send someone to summon Ko Yoon out of the city first. You Yao immediately asked for his life, saying, "The last official is willing to go." ”

Pei Gai said that this matter may be quite dangerous, "I kill Wu Pi, General An Zhi will not harm Qing?" You Yao smiled: "Feng Yi, the minister, also knows a thing or two about Guanzhong, if General Koji has the decision to kill, he will not be today." And Ming Gong thinks I'm not as good as Wu Pihu? It is necessary to say that Koji will greet Ming Gong and don't worry. ”

So he took a few servants and rode his horse to the outside of Wannian City, only to see that the city gate was closed in broad daylight, and the soldiers of the city were each holding swords and spears, waiting for the battle. You Yao greeted the city and said, "The last official is the governor of Pei Shi Zhongwu, and he has come to ask to see General Koji." ”

The news was reported to Lu Yun, but Lu Zhongke was at a loss, and he didn't say that he would open the door or say that he couldn't see it, but he sent someone to the city to ask: "What are Qinglai's intentions?" ”

You Yao waited in front of the city gate for a long time, and was really depressed, so he couldn't help but point to the city and ask the people beside him: "How do you look at this 10,000-year-old garrison?" The man next to him sneered: "The local chicken and tile dog are like dogs, and they can also be called soldiers?" The crippled earthen fortress is actually called a city, which is really ridiculous! Why did the governor come in person? I will attack a battalion by myself, and it will not take five days, and I will take a certain head of koji! ”

After all, Pei Gai was still relieved not to go far away, so he wanted to send a fierce general to guard him. Of course, Zhen Sui jumped out first to ask for an order, but Pei Gai deliberately separated him, personally ordered Xie Feng to change his disguise from the person to Xie Feng and follow Youyao, and personally came over to take a look at the defensive posture of Wannian City, and immediately left his mouth far away.

Finally, someone in the city answered, and You Yao replied calmly according to the pre-plan, "Pei Shizhong killed the general of Koji Aixing, and he was afraid of being angry, so he wrote a letter to apologize, but he didn't see the Duke of Koji reply, so he personally led the army to seek a meeting." A banquet has been set up in the camp, and I hope that the koji duke will take the time to go out of the city for a while. ”

The person who shouted was about to return to report to Lu Yun, and when he turned around, he saw Wang Yin standing behind him. What You Yao said just now, Wang Yin also heard it, knowing that Lu Yun did not dare to go to Pei Gai's appointment, after thinking about it carefully, the other party still called Lu Yun "Koji General", presumably the imperial court took away his chariot and rode the general's number, Pei Cai's army has not heard of it...... Immediately thinking about it, he made the man shout downward: "The name of the Duke of Koji is higher than that of Pei Gong, and Pei Gong came here to apologize, how can it be reasonable to set up a banquet outside the city?" This is indecent! ”

You Yaoxin said I knew that Lu Yun didn't dare to come, this was just a pretext to let the other party let him into the city, if he really came out, it would be troublesome, so he had to go back quickly and ask Ming Gong to prepare a banquet...... He immediately replied: "In this case, please open the city gate, and Pei Shizhong should personally enter the ten thousand years to apologize." ”

Wang Yin asked, "Is Pei Gongken coming alone?" You Yao smiled and said: "Pei Gonggui is the general of the service and the guard, and he has his own honor guard when he travels, and he can lead thousands of people into the city according to the routine." ”

Wang Yin looked at the dozen or so horsemen below, and saw that in addition to You, who claimed to be the governor of the chronicle, all of them were tall and horsey, well-armed, and majestic, and turned his head to look at the soldiers guarding the city beside him, even if he didn't know much about military affairs, he could see that there was a difference between day and place. I didn't dare to ask anything more at the moment, so I hurriedly ran to discuss with Ko Yun in person.

Lu Yun said that Pei should want to go to the city, let him bring fewer people, I will set up a banquet in the city to entertain him, let's talk about the matter, I will not investigate the past, let him quickly withdraw the army and go back. Wang Yinlian said "no" and said: "Pei Wenyue wants to force a thousand people into the city, called the honor guard, who knows if it is a soldier?" He is in Dali, 30,000 people break 100,000 Hu, and the department can be known as ten. Our army is not as brave as Hu Kou, if a thousand people are allowed to enter the city, once the incident occurs between elbows and armpits, how should we resist? ”

When he said this, Lu Yun also panicked, so he asked, "Then how to reply?" ”

Wang Yin said that it is better to do this, didn't he detain Lichang, let him put Lichang back first, and then let's inquire about the situation on the other side in detail, and then make a decision.

You Yao is so depressed, who would have thought that he would stand outside the city gate for a long time, and after all his efforts, the other party just refused to let him into the city and didn't know what he was afraid of? In desperation, he had to go back to the camp to return to Pei Gai. Pei Gai couldn't help laughing "haha" and said: "I don't want his generation to be cowardly like this!" But think about it, in the original history, Sima Ye was captured to Pingyang and suffered humiliation, but Lu Yun was just "crying on the ground and couldn't get up", and he didn't even have the courage to scold Hu in person......

But this guy doesn't fight, doesn't surrender, and doesn't leave, just get tired of being here, and he really doesn't have to ask Chang'an for an edict to crusade against Ko Yun, but can you take it and say otherwise, even if you get it, it's not a matter of a few days. In the end, he had to ask for it, and ordered someone to escort Ko Chang over, and said to him bluntly:

"Feng Yi, the two counties of the Northland, you and others are abandoned, and I recover them, and the koji prince should have treated me. However, I defended Liu Yao in the front, and under the bloody Dali City, you didn't send a soldier to rescue you, and when Liu Yao escaped to the north, Fang Shi sent troops, and I wanted me to wait for you, how could there be such a good thing in the world? ! Today, in the name of apologizing, I will practice the teacher of questioning, and I think Koji Gong also knows it well, so he closes the door. Thou shalt return to the Duke of Koji, and if he is ashamed, he shall come to meet me in my camp, or open the city to welcome me in, and thank him in person, and discuss the matter of compensation. Otherwise, what I want is not only Wu Pi's head?! ”

Koji Chang hugged his head and jumped up, fled back to Wannian City, and returned to Ko Yun. Lu Yun was shocked: "Pei Wen asked Guoxing what should the guilty master do now?" Shall I go out of the city to meet, or will I welcome him into the city? Wang Yin tried his best to stop it, saying: "He Naiyun wants Ming Gong to apologize for his sins and discuss compensation, so how can Ming Gong compensate him?" That is, if he doesn't meet Pei, does he dare to risk the world's condemnation and attack for 10,000 years? ”

In fact, Wang Yin was frightened by the sentence conveyed by Lichang, "What I want to take, it is not only Wu Pi's head". He and Wu Pi flattered each other, and they were both pulled out by Koji Yunxian, and everyone inside and outside the army looked sideways, calling it "two", and they didn't count it in their hearts, right? Now that Pei Gai has killed Wu Pi, and said that he refuses to stop here, it is estimated that he will not dare to act rashly with Lu Yun, but if Lu Yun wants to take his Wang king's head to sacrifice, what should he do?
