Pei should first tell Shi Hu the story of the Battle of Chibi, and then ordered his disciples to analyze the reasons for Cao Cao's defeat. Shi Hu didn't have a brain at all, and when he opened his mouth, he said: "Cao Cao was proud of his victory, but he didn't expect the southeast wind to rise, so he lost." ”

Pei Gai shook his head and said that this was just the most superficial reason. Then he taught Shi Hu, saying that if you think about it further, it is because the northerners are not accustomed to water warfare, but they are forced to confront Jiangdong's strong soldiers who are good at boats, even if there is no fire from Zhou Yu, it will be difficult for Cao Cao to destroy the enemy army and destroy Sun and Liu. If he could have stood still after pacifying the northern part of Jingzhou, and spent some time thoroughly digesting Jingxiang's naval division, and the northern army gradually became familiar with the climate and environment in the south, maybe there would have been a chance.

However, Cao Cao could not live in Jingzhou for a long time, because his rear was not yet stable, Han Sui and Ma Teng were ready to move in Guanxi, if they took the opportunity to take Chang'an and go down to Luoyang, pointing directly at Xuchang, Cao Cao had to retreat in a hurry - basically what Zhang Bin said to himself when he mentioned this historical event a few days ago.

Pei Gai's judgment was not wrong, although Shi Hu's child was stubborn - after all, he was still young, and he couldn't say the word "tyrannical" at the moment - but he was not stupid. If you are stupid and have a slow brain, you will not be able to rise to the throne at all, how can you become a tyrant through the ages? So under Pei Gai's guidance, step by step, Shi Hu stepped into the trap.

On the third day, Pei Gai was telling Shi Hu about Wang Junlou's ship going down to Yizhou, Shi Hu couldn't hold it back, and suddenly raised his hand to ask, saying: "I look at today's situation, our army is far inferior to Cao Cao back then, and the Jin people crossed Jingyang and gathered troops in Shouchun, which was stronger than Sun Liu in the past. This crusade, can you really take Jianye directly and defend it? ”

Pei Gai shook his head and replied to him directly: "No!" ”

Shi Hu was confused, and said that in this case, why did his uncle insist on going his own way? Master, since you know that this battle will be difficult to succeed, why don't you go and persuade your uncle to take back your life?

Pei Gai smiled: "Isn't Cao Cao a hero? However, there is also the defeat of Chibi. The fierce generals under his command are like clouds, and the ministers are like rain, how can one or two of them know the general trend of the world? However, it could not dissuade Cao Cao's troops from going to Jiangdong. The strategy of this crusade was Diao Changshi's advice to the lord, and Zhang Changshi also said that he couldn't, but the lord refused to listen...... When it comes to intimacy, I am not as far away as Zhang Changshi, and even advice is useless. ”

Shi Hu frowned, and said that you have to say whether it is useful or not-"I heard that loyal ministers should be straightforward, not sighing in private......" Pei Gai shook his head and interrupted him: "What you said is a direct minister, not a loyal minister." Those who are directly known are vain and famous; Those who are loyal to the ministers will also do their deeds. If you know that you will not obey the advice and provoke their anger, why not retreat and find another good solution? ”

"Did Mr. Ranze think of any good ideas?" Shi Hu spoke before he spoke, raised his thick eyebrows, and said that I understood-"If you talk about relatives, my surname is Shi, and I am a clan, if I go to advise, I may be able to move my uncle, give up the Eastern Expedition and return to the Central Plains in the north." It is precisely for this reason that Mr. told me about Cao Cao's southern expedition and the Jin Dynasty's destruction of Wu, right? ”

Pei Caixin said that this little guy is quite sensitive-fortunately, he is just a little smart, and there is no great wisdom at present, of course, more importantly, you are a newcomer, whether it is for me or Shi Le, in fact, you are not familiar with it. So he smiled a little gratifyingly, but then he stretched out his hand and pressed Shi Hu, who was about to rush out to find Shi Le, and said to him: "Although you are the lord's closest relative, you are still young and have not made an inch, even if you go to advise, the lord may not obey." The lord is for me, and he threatens to take your life, and he believes in you, and he is still under me...... Zhang Changshi didn't listen to it, I didn't dare to persuade him, so I went there, and I had any hope of success? ”

Shi Hu heard the words "tsk", his body fell down, and his hands were spread: "Then what should I do?" You can't know that you are going to lose, but you don't say a word, you can't do anything, right? ”

Pei Gai smiled and said that I really didn't say a word, but I didn't necessarily have to be at a loss.

Shi Hu leaned forward: "Please also ask Mr. to teach me." ”

——————————

Pei Gai and Shi Hu, although they have only been together for three days, he has already roughly figured out the temper of this bear child, and more importantly, through his clever tongue and gentle treatment, even if he can't make Shi Hu obey his words, he believes that as long as he is slightly guided, he can be used for himself. It was with this confidence that he dared to use Shi Hu and really began to implement his escape plan.

So when Shi Hu asked him how he could persuade Shi Le to return to the north, Pei Gai stretched out two fingers and said slowly: "The plan is empty talk, only by following it can you succeed." And if it is detected by others in advance, the calculation will be invalid......"

Shi Hu was a little confused and asked, "Sir, you mean, can't you tell me about this plan?" Pei Gai shook his head: "If you know, you must follow it, and without my life, you must not leak it, otherwise this plan will be useless." Shi Hu patted his chest: "Sir, just say it to me, and if you have any orders, I will obey it." And my mouth is the strictest, and I will never leak it to others! ”

Pei Gai pretended to think about it, looked Shi Hu up and down a few times, and then lowered his voice and asked, "Do you know who the lord believes in the most?" Shi Hu said that of course it was Mr. Zhang Bin Zhang - although I had just come, I had long heard that Mr. Zhang was my uncle's confidant. Pei should say okay, this matter also needs Mr. Zhang's assistance in implementation, I will say a few words, you can help me relay it to Mr. Zhang, let's see how he reacts first.

Shi Hu's eyes lit up, and he seemed to be very interested in this "game". So Pei should have asked him to come over with his ear, so and so, and so and so, you go and tell Mr. Zhang.

Shi Hu took the order, ran to find Zhang Bin in a hurry, and then retreated from the crowd and repeated Pei Gai's three sentences. Zhang Binna is such a smart person, after a little groaning, he already understood his meaning, and couldn't help laughing "haha": "I thought Pei Lang was a good man, but I didn't want to be a poisoner!" ”

Shi Hu chased after him and asked, what kind of plan is it? Now that you understand, tell me. Zhang Bin waved his hand to stop the noise of the bear child, and then repeatedly planned, calculating every detail, and finally slapped his thigh: "This plan is feasible." Then he took care of Shi Hu and said that you go back and tell your master, I will go to meet Ming Gong and become "one" for him, and he will do "two".

Shi Hu was confused and left. Zhang Bin immediately straightened his clothes and came to worship Shile. Shi Le has been a little annoying to Zhang Bin these days, because Zhang Mengsun always comes to tell him that Jianghuai is difficult to occupy, so it is better to return to the north...... If Shi Le is determined to go south to the end, the problem is that the current situation is developing, and he himself is a little vague. However, since the garrison has been stationed in Gepi and the surrounding grain and grass have been collected, if you wait until the weather clears to lead the division east to Shouchun, whether it is a victory or a defeat, you have to fight to know; And if you turn around and return north, I am afraid that the grain and grass will be exhausted halfway......

Moving forward is a gamble, even though you know that the odds are not good; Retreating is a strong man's broken wrist, and this determination is not easy to make. Wait for me to think about it...... Mr. Zhang, your thoughts have been clarified, why do you keep talking? Can't you wait for me to figure it out for myself?

But even so, he was embarrassed to call Zhang Bin's return ticket, but as soon as they met, he said first: "I want to return to the north, and I must wait for the weather to clear, the clouds have not opened these days, the lewd rain has not stopped, and the march is difficult." ”

Zhang Bin smiled and said I didn't come here to talk about it. When Shi Le heard this, he couldn't help but perk up, and leaned forward: "What does Mr. Zhang teach me?" ”

Zhang Bin sat in front of him, pondered the sentence, and then said: "The day before yesterday, Liu Yueshi (Liu Kun) sent Zhang Ru to send Mrs. Tai and Shi Hu to come, Pei Lang was puzzled, and said why not take it as a hostage, but prefer to send it back to the Ming office?" Yue Shi is also a masterpiece for a while, why did he make this decision? ”

Shi Le said with a smile: "It is precisely because Liu Yueshi is a masterpiece in the world and a rare general of the Jin family that he is unwilling to take other people's relatives as hostages. It seems that Xiang Yu wants to cook Mrs. Liu's business, how should a husband be? ”

Zhang Bin said that I also told Pei Gai the same, but after he heard it, he did not suddenly understand, but was silent for a long time. I wondered - it's broken!

Shi Le was puzzled and asked him why he was broken?

So Zhang Bin selectively reported the conversation between himself and Pei Gai a few days ago to Shi Le, suggesting that Shi Le send someone to send Pei, the princess of the East China Sea, to Shouchun. Without waiting for Shi Le to think about it carefully, he first stretched out two fingers: "There are two reasons for this move: first, according to Pei Lang, the princess of Langya and the princess of the East China Sea, if she is returned, she will respect the Ming Duke, and if the Ming Gong respects Liu Yue......shi, "I know that although you asked Cheng Yao to return the book, scolded Liu Kun for being a "corrupt Confucian", and said that you don't even think about anything anyway, but you still admire him in your heart.

"Second, Pei Lang went to this heart disease, and he should serve Ming Gong wholeheartedly."

Shi Le frowned and said, "In the past, Pei Lang returned to me to save his aunt, why did he send her away now?" ”

Zhang Bin said that this question is very simple - "The relatives of aunts and nephews, if you don't save them, this filial piety is also." And if Pei's daughter is a slave of the general, how can Pei Lang ignore it? However, the princess of the East China Sea has already returned, and she should be subordinate to her husband's family, and she has not relied on her nephew for a long time. And I heard that the day before yesterday, Pei Lang neglected his life in order to save books, and the princess of the East China Sea blamed him, and there was a big quarrel between his aunt and nephew. He mourns every day, and Pei Lang has no face to face. ”

Shi Le nodded, and said that this is the case—after all, he is only a cousin and nephew, and he is not a relative. He turned around in his head a few times, wanting to ask if Pei should turn his face and deny people once he sent Pei away...... After thinking about it again, Mr. Zhang took the initiative to mention this matter to me, probably believing that Pei should not take the opportunity to run away, and he would not ignore me from now on. Besides, he couldn't run away in the first place, so where can he run away now?

Zhang Bin naturally understood what Shi Le was thinking in his heart - whether it was a big husband or not, it was a matter of face, how could he not have doubts in his heart? If you want to take hostages, you can make the other party bow down and obey orders, so don't do it! Liu Kun expected that it would be useless for the hostages to pinch their hands, and they would provoke Shi Le's hatred, but he couldn't make Shi Le bow his head, so he sent Wang and Shi Hu back.

So he smiled and said: "Today, the boat is built in Huaibin, although it is three hundred miles away from Shouchun, it will go down the water, and it will be there every day." can make Pei Lang send the princess of the East China Sea to the other place, and choose a boat to go east...... "Since you want to send Pei away, you must let Pei send her until she boards the ship, it is impossible to break up with Yuanmen in front of the gate, it is not in accordance with the etiquette law, and Pei should not rest assured-" I know that Ming Gong, or worry about Pei Lang going and not returning, but I don't have to worry. ”

Why don't you worry? Because it is obvious that the most precious thing for Pei Gai at the moment is his books, not his aunt, who can send them away, and the books must not leave him for a moment - he almost didn't even want his life at the beginning, and he rushed to the fire just to save the books!

"I look at Pei Lang, I have truly returned to Ming Gong, go to his aunt, but go to his heart, he will not go. And the books are all in the camp, and he takes it as his duty to preserve the words of the sages and the laws of the country, and how can he abandon them? ”

Shi Le nodded, and said Why are books so important, I am a martial artist, and I don't understand the thoughts of you literati...... But it's understandable, if I change places and exchange those books for a good horse, then I won't be willing to go, and even if I want to go, I have to ride the horse with me.

Zhang Bin said yes, and-"After the princess of the East China Sea boarded the boat, she didn't care about it, before she boarded the boat, she traveled two hundred miles by land, how could she be without an escort?" If Ming Gong sent hundreds of soldiers to accompany him, how could Pei Lang escape? ”

Shi Le thought for a while: "It's easy to send troops, but it's inconvenient to send generals...... Otherwise, Pei Lang still thinks that I don't worry about him, won't he complain about me? "It will be impossible not to send them, if all the soldiers are handed over to Pegai, then ...... Then I'm really not very relieved.

Zhang Binxin said that Pei should be really smart, and he had already thought of this layer - so he smiled slightly: "This matter is easy to hear, and all the soldiers can be handed over to Shi Hu." He is a disciple of Pei Lang, Mr. travels, and the disciple follows, who says it is inappropriate? ”

Shi Le slapped his thigh and said that this is a good idea, so ...... I was a little hesitant. Zhang Bin said: "Today in Gepi, it is the right time to send it back to the princess of the East China Sea." If the weather is fine, or the east will be the east, or the north will return, it will be inconvenient......"

Shi Lexin said Mr. Zhang, you are here again, how long have you been talking, and you mentioned the matter of returning to the north again...... Okay, okay, then listen to you, and you'll send the soldiers.

——————————

Zhang Bin was overjoyed when he got the order, and hurriedly ran to inform Pei Gai. Looking at Pei Gai's expression, there was no surprise, a copy of the calm face that the mountain people expected - in fact, during the time he was waiting for Zhang Bin to persuade Shi Le to come back, he didn't know how nervous he was!

At that moment, he bowed his hand to Zhang Bin: "Thank you Zhang Jun - however, if this plan is successful, the lord may be angry with me, and ask Zhang Jun to save my life." "Zhang Bin said that it was natural, and after my observation today, the intention of Ming Gong to return to the north gradually emerged, I believe that he may be a little angry afterwards, but it will not be to blame Pei Lang heavily.

Pei should say okay, but it's not too late, tomorrow morning, I will set off, lead Shi Hu, and send my aunt to Huaibin to take a boat.

He didn't sleep at all that night, tossing and turning this nervousness, and repeated every detail of the plan several times - the details have always determined success or failure, especially such a risky plan, a small flaw or a small mistake may be wasted, that is really not the slightest sloppiness.
