Chapter 23, Jiankang Secret Letter

Liu Guang was naturally awake at this time, but there was a big bag in the back of his head, and he still had a faint pain - fortunately, he was wearing a helmet, and Zhen Sui kept his hand again, otherwise I am afraid that he would have a broken head on the spot and die a miserable death.

Zhen Sui personally escorted Liu Guang to come - this is the merit of the master, I must stand next to the merit, so that the governor can see it clearly and remember it clearly - to kneel down in front of Pei Gai. Pei Cai smiled and asked him, "When you leave the customs, do you want to see this moment?" ”

Liu Guang didn't pretend either, glanced sideways at Zhen Sui, and said: "I don't know that under Pei Yuanjun, there are still such brave generals, and the villain is so defeated." ”

Pei Wei asked: "Who is your surname, and are you willing to report any position in the Hu army?" ”

Liu Guang said that there was nothing unwilling to do - "The villain's surname is Liu Mingguang, a Huns, the adopted son of the former great Sima Liu Dan, and he commands the tribe for him." ”

Next to him, Lu He said: "The last general has also encountered this thief on the bank of the ditch - the Hu army is unbearable, but the more than 200 people led by this thief are elite, if the number is similar to our army, I am afraid that the last general will be difficult to see the governor again." ”

Pei should say okay, Nian is a brave general, leave him a whole corpse - "Take it out and strangle it." ”

Before the soldiers came to pry Liu Guang, Liu Guang opened his mouth first and shouted: "If Pei Yuanjun has great ambitions, don't you want to recruit talents?" Why do you kill the brave when you see it?! ”

Pei Gai smiled and said: "You are a Hu person, how can you really descend to me, then why don't you kill me?" ”

Liu Guang shook his head: "There are also Jin people in the Han Dynasty, how can there be no Rong people in the Jin Dynasty?" The villain did underestimate the envoy before, but the envoy has the courage to serve the life, will be able to achieve a great cause, although the villain is not afraid of death, but the thought of a useful body, willing to attach the tail, but also hope to make the monarch accept. ”

Zhen Sui next to him also helped to intercede: "This Hu Er is very brave, has great strength, is familiar with bows and horses, it is a pity to kill him, please spare his life." ”

Pei Gai looked at Liu Guang with interest: "You are the son of Liu Dan, why are you willing to surrender?" ”

Liu Guang replied: "I have no kinship, but from the same department, I just accept the villain as a ministry, although the name is father and son, in fact, it is a monarch and a minister." When the monarch chooses his ministers, the ministers also choose their kings, Liu Dan is old and decayed, and he is unbearable, so the villain is willing to return to the king, and he is sincere, and there is no second intention, so that the king will be observed. ”

Pei Gaixin said that he couldn't see it, and he could still export it, so he asked again: "The Hu people entered my China, killed the people, trampled on the fields, destroyed my old capital, and kidnapped my son of heaven, and the Chinese smelled Hu and cut their teeth - how can I be stored in Ru?" If you can make a point, you will be spared. ”

Liu Guang immediately said: "The villain's family is in Bingzhou, his native is in Tun, and he has been in China since he was born. Xi Guangwen ...... Liu Yuan got into trouble, the villain was still young, and he returned from the ministry, and he couldn't help himself. The original intention was to recite poetry and books, raise filial piety, and become a Chinese, but the family was poor, but it was also a helpless move to join Liu Dan. On the battle array, I dare not say that I have not killed the Jin people, but Hu, Qian, Di, and Qiang have also killed a lot, and outside the battle array, I have never harmed the lives of the Jin people...... "I just said so, anyway, you have nowhere to investigate."

"The two countries are competing with each other, each for its own master, how can there be a difference between Jin and Rong? Emperor Wu of the former Han Dynasty used Jin Riyan, who was not a Hu person? It is to know that it is compatible with all ethnic groups, only to talk about the virtuous and the unscrupulous, regardless of the ethnic group, it can be the lord of China......"

Zhen Sui smiled next to him: "Hey, this guy even knows Jin Riyan!" ”

Pei Cai thought about it for a while, and then asked Zhen Sui: "Does Qing want this person?" ”

Zhen Sui twisted his brows: "This Hu is very brave, I originally wanted to be under my command, but it turned out to be ...... I've read books and can talk, but I don't want it anymore......"

Pei Gai couldn't help laughing: "Okay, I'll hand over this Liu Guang to Yu Qing, how to deal with it, let Qing do whatever he wants." ”

Zhen Sui "tsked": "It's a pity to kill, so you can only ask for ......" and pulled Liu Guang's arm: "And go out of the account, the master will untie you." ”

Pei Gai ordered, Zhen Suisheng won the enemy general, conquered Chenggao Pass, and recorded the seven turns. Zhen Sui asked for an official position in person, Pei should refuse, Zhen Sui said angrily: "Is it because I am a barbarian that I can't be an official?" Pei Gai shook his head: "Conquering Chenggao, if it is not a bloody battle, the enemy will go by himself, and it will be broken in half with meritorious service - if Qing makes another meritorious service, two thousand stones can be established." "I only look at the merits, it really doesn't matter what nationality you belong to - in my place, who said that Nanban can't be a high-ranking official?

Zhen stepped back with this. That night, he rested in Chenggao City, and Lu Yan, the governor of the "Pengshan Battalion", specially brought wine and food to drink with Zhen. When the wine was drunk and he retreated from the people, he lowered his voice and asked Zhen Sui: "Sima Wang, the king of Jiankang, has a letter to ask us to tie up the governor and prevent the urgent attack on Henan, why is my brother still fighting so bravely?" Is it a meritorious service? ”

Zhen Sui glanced at him and replied: "In the past, I received the order of Wang Sima in Jiankang, and you were the only two of us, so I recommended you to be the camp governor...... What did Wang Sima say that day? If you want us to wait for the governor of the prison and not let us go west with our ancestors, we will see it firmly. This Northern Expedition was originally Jiankang's order, should they all supervise and not use troops? Wang Sima had no other instructions......

"I eat the grain and rice of his Wang family, and I eat more grain and rice in Xuzhou, and in the Wang family, I can only be the governor of a battalion in Xuzhou, and there may be officials in the future...... Are you willing to abandon this inheritance and still return to Jiankang to be a slave to the royal family? ”

Lu Yan frowned and said, "I'm afraid that if I don't obey my fate, Wang Sima will inform the governor of this matter, and I will wait ......."

Zhen Sui interrupted him: "So what? I can see that even when he was in Jiangdong, the governor was also separated from Wang Sima Maung, so Wang Sima sent us and others, did he have no suspicion? If we don't take this opportunity to make contributions, when there are many capable people in the army in the future, how can there be a place for us! Wang Sima Ruo still wants to use us, unless he also gives the master a 2,000 stone. Patted Lu Yan on the shoulder: "You are good at living, you don't have to think too much." ”

Lu Yan was about to respond, and suddenly heard Liu Guang's voice outside the door: "The villain is back, meet the general." ”

Zhen immediately beckoned Liu Guang in, poured him a glass of wine, and asked casually, "What did you ask?" ”

Liu Guang replied: "The situation in Pingyang City, as well as the military affairs of Liu Yi and Liu Dan, are all inquired about, and the villain knows everything - Pei Changshi and Tao Sima are also sitting. Zhen Sui nodded and said: "In this way, what did you say to the governor, don't hide it, and say that you and I will listen to it." ”

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Pei should rest his troops and horses in Chenggao City, reorganize, and refused to continue to advance to the west for two days, and on the second day, another fast horse sent a letter from Zu Ti, asking Pei to stay in Chenggao and wait for him to come to rendezvous.

Pei Gai asked the messenger: "Where is the army of Zuyu Prefecture?" ”

The other party replied: "When the last official came, the main force had already arrived in Meishan, and he must have arrived in Xingyang at this moment." The other army marched along Yingshui to Yangzhai, and if they wanted to enter the Yuyuan Pass, there were still four days to go. ”

Pei should say okay, then I will wait for Zu Yuzhou in Chenggao City.

The envoy retreated to the door, and Zhen Sui couldn't help but shout: "Grandpa is so rude!" He was slow in his own army, and if he didn't come to attack Chenggao first, he was taken by us, but he made people stop him, and he didn't want us to make meritorious contributions forward, so why should the governor bother? From this to the west, a horse Pingchuan, you can go straight to the old capital, I would like to be the vanguard, go to occupy it first, lest the people of Yuzhou be greedy again! ”

Pei Gai scolded: "Don't lie about it! Even if there is no letter from the ancestors, I also want to stay in Chenggao, and I will not move forward easily. The generals were puzzled, and bowed down to ask together, Pei Gai smiled: "There are still a few days to be stationed on the left and right, so take this question as homework, and you can think about it yourself-the first one will be rewarded." ”

The generals groaned and exited the lobby one after another. Zhen Sui had just stepped down the steps, and suddenly his body trembled violently, and Lu Yan asked behind him, "Brother, have you figured out the intention of making you stop?" Zhen Sui snorted: "Not yet, not yet...... The old man is just urgent. "I didn't expect that there is a disadvantage in pretending to be stupid, and I can't get the reward this time......

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

The Yuzhou army first arrived in Xingyang, and then passed through the Chenggao Pass to meet the Xuzhou army, and Zu Li led more than 100 horsemen to meet Pei Gai in advance. Pei should go out of the city to greet him, and Zu Ti grabbed his hand immediately: "Wenyue's army is moving very fast, which is beyond my expectations." ”

Pei Gai smiled: "It's all because the thieves can't bear the war - the inside story of Pingyang, I have been prepared to inquire and learn, and I am about to pass on the ancestor." Come with me into the city, where a banquet has been set up to entertain the ancestors. ”

Zu Ti replied: "Don't be busy eating wine first, state affairs first." ”

Pei Gai said with a smile: "When I eat and drink, I just talk about the world's major events - just like when I was in Jiankang." ”

Immediately, Zu Ti introduced his attachΓ© to Pei Gai - Sima Zhang Chang, engaged in Zhou Hong, generals Wei Ce, Wei Gai, etc., Pei Gai had all seen them, and there was only one Li Ju and Li Shihui, which was the first time they met. Pei Gai also introduced Pei Wei and Guo Mo to Zu Ti - as for Tao Kan, Zu Ti had a one-sided relationship when he was in Jiangdong - Guo Mo saw Li Ju, his expression was a little embarrassed, Li Ju didn't care, and deliberately bowed his hand to Guo Mo, saying: "I am very happy that the virtuous brother has to join Pei Xuzhou's command, and during the banquet when he is young, he should drink a cup to celebrate." ”

People have their own ambitions, and they can't be forced to stay, for Guo Mo to abandon himself, Li Julianghong, there is no mustard, but he said secretly: "How can you vote for Xuzhou as for Yuzhou?" You have always been cunning, but this time I am afraid that you have seen the wrong person. ”

After the banquet, they toasted and exchanged a few words, and Zu Ti grabbed Pei Gai, and was busy asking about the situation of the battle of the ditch and water, as well as the inside of Pingyang City. Pei Cai ordered Lu He to step forward and explain his personal experience, Lu He stammered, and the coherence was not clear enough, but even so, everyone in Yuzhou listened to it with enthusiasm, and only hated himself for being a step late.

Zu Ti personally poured a glass of wine, handed it to Lu He, and said, "I respect the most loyal and brave people in my life." The general is on the bank of the gutter water, and the tenfold Hu is antagonistic, fighting fiercely, killing and wounding many people, and he is really a warrior unparalleled in the world! It has also been heard in our army that the so-called 'there is a bear in Xuzhou, and he does not dare to bully after being captured; There is a land in Xuzhou, and the army will be overthrown! 'See the general today, and the strong man is also, please drink!' ”

Zhen Sui listened to it next to him, and he didn't like it in his heart, and secretly said when the governor could make up a sentence for me? "There is a Zhen in Xuzhou, what or something...... It's just that Zhen doesn't sound as loud as Xiong and Lu, and I don't know how to rhyme...... For the first time in his heart, he felt that his surname was too hasty, and he should change to a different one......

Immediately, Zu Ti turned to Pei Gai and asked him: "I don't question the battle of your army, but I have also encountered Hu Kou several times before, so it seems that this is not the case...... As General Lu said, tens of thousands of troops, the elite is only five or six thousand, why is this so? ”

Pei Gai smiled: "This is related to the inside story of Pingyang." "Ordered to summon Liu Guanglai and let him state directly.

Liu Guang is a person who has read books, and his words are clear and discerning, and he is not comparable to Lu He. Zu Ti listened attentively while drinking, and when Liu Guangbei learned about it, he poured two liters of wine, and then nodded: "I see, it is the younger brother of the puppet emperor of Huzhong who is fighting for the position with the puppet Xiangguo, and even this-I want to hear that Liu Yi was defeated, and Liu Cang will personally lead the army, cross the river and go south, and come to the enemy of our army." ”

Then he looked at Pei Gai, and said with a sincere expression: "I passed the book before, please Wen Yue temporarily stay in Chenggao, there is no need to move forward, I don't want to fight for merit, the reason for this, Wen Yue is a talent, I must have already known." ”

Pei Cai waved his hand first and ordered Liu Guang to withdraw, and then looked around at everyone with a smile: "The meaning of the ancestors, I know myself, and I will not be suspicious." Before, the generals were puzzled, and I ordered you to go back and think about the reason, but did anyone think of it? ”

The "generals" he said naturally referred to Liu Yetang, Zhen Sui and others; As for Pei Wei and Tao Kan, as long as the strategic policy, Pei Gai will inevitably discuss it with the two, so he has known it for a long time, and there is no need to go back and meditate alone.

Liu Yetang immediately surrendered his hand: "The last general has an ugly opinion, if there is a defect, I hope that the second prince will correct it." ”
