Pei should ask Xiong Yizhi and Lu He: "Can you be convicted?" Although this sentence was said very plainly, it was not a sharp word, but it still scared Xiong and Lu, like a thunderbolt from the blue - we defended Hu Lu and made this great achievement, how can the governor ask if he is guilty? Where is the sin? Gao Le next to him understood, immediately gritted his teeth, and arched his hand on his knees: "It is I who do not agree to make the second general go to chase Chen Chuan, and I am willing to shoulder the blame, and please remember the merit of their hard fight to break the enemy, and forgive the second general." ”

Xiong and Lu suddenly realized, yes, there is this ballast...... We fought so hard that we forgot about it......

Pei Gai snorted coldly: "Where is Chen Chuan?" ”

Tao Kan next to him said: "Checking the body, there is no such person, or Yun fled without a trace." ”

Pei Gai said to Xiong and Lu: "You and others violated the military order and led the army away from the brigade to advance, neither can you get Chen Chuan, but you can't detect the enemy's situation, so that my two thousand athletes are trapped in a desperate situation, if it weren't for Tao Sima's rescue, almost annihilated!" And the army was forced to turn around to save you and the others...... "The original plan was to go along Bianshui, but now it was changed to Jishui-"Don't you know the crime?!" ”

Lu He couldn't help but hang his head, and replied with Xiong Yizhi: "The last general is guilty, and I implore you to punish him." ”

Pei Gai's face softened, and he sighed softly: "You can't go unrewarded for your merits, and you can't go unpunished for your mistakes, otherwise you won't be able to become an army." You can redeem the merit for the crime, originally rejected the Hulu army, the credit is not small, and now this battle is the first to Tao Sima to remember the merit, and you are both downgraded to one level - can you be convinced? ”

The two of them hurriedly said: "The last heart is convinced." ”

Pei Gai immediately looked around at the generals: "These two people are already deputy governors, and there is no promotion for the time being; Xuzhou acres of land have also gained a lot; If you stop giving money and wealth, you may not be able to reward it for your merit - how should you reward it? ”

Pei Wei and Tao Kan knew that Pei should have something to do, so they didn't talk about it, and the rest of the rough people were all staring at each other, and there was nothing they could do. Zhen was still quick in his mind and blurted out: "If the last general makes meritorious service, please ask the governor to reward the good horse." Pei Gai pouted and smiled: "Good horses have to wait to be killed in the north, and how many good horses do you need to pay the second general?" Then he said amazingly: "I intend to sign Xiong Yizhi as the Dongguan County Guard, and Lu He as the Chengyang County Guard!" ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this; Pei Wei was unexpected, and couldn't help but smile slightly; Tao Kan was about to be dissuaded, but after thinking about it, he finally held back.

Why did Pei Gai suddenly make such a decision? One is to reward the merits of the two generals, and also set an example for the soldiers of the whole army; Second, he adhered to the system in the past, as the governor of Qingxu and the assassin of Xuzhou, he didn't even dare to appoint the county magistrate, and only sent someone to "know a certain county matter", and then he suddenly woke up to the fact that all systems in troubled times are farts!

Before Yu Bing went to Linhuai's internal history, he dared to appoint himself as a county magistrate without saying hello to himself, didn't he rely on Jiankang to have people, and all appointments could be successfully passed? Then Pei Gai just heard that Guo Mo's background was very low, and Liu Kun dared to directly appoint him as the Taishou of Hanoi...... Hanoi belongs to Sizhou, and it is not under the management of Liu Yueshi. Okay, you don't care about it, just me follow the rules, then I will suffer a lot!

Who doesn't want to be an official these days, especially those with low portals and glass ceilings across their heads, it is difficult to be a long official with ink ribbons according to convention, let alone a county with two thousand stones? But no one in the camp governor under me is a child of a high-ranking family, and he has not even been completely illiterate, can he only sink into his subordinates for the rest of his life, and his position is low? Especially in the short term, after a long time, you will inevitably be dissatisfied. Besides, in the future, the team will be expanded, and it is inevitable that there will be a few high-ranking people under your hands, and the governor will always be white, but how should you control the army and serve the people?

So, just take advantage of this opportunity, Xiong and Lu have high achievements, which can be used as a start, and Lao Tzu is going to start conferring knighthoods! Pei Gai smiled slightly, and said to the generals: "I am the governor of Qingxu, outside of Xuzhou, there are still Qingzhou ......" As long as you make meritorious contributions, each of you has the opportunity to make a 2,000 stone to do, even if it is not a real job, it is enough to glorify the ancestors.

The generals were greatly excited, and they all bowed their heads: "I am willing to die for the governor!" ”

At this time, a report suddenly came from the door, saying that Guo Mo asked to see him again. Pei Gai couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart that if you don't go back to Yangwu, why do you want to see me again? Is something happening in the west?

——————————

Guo Mo left his brother Guo Zhi to garrison Yangwu, and led dozens of horsemen to the east bank of the ditch water to meet Pei Gai. When he got out of the big tent and met his subordinates, Yin Qiao asked him how the situation was, Guo Mo roughly said it, Yin Qiao couldn't help frowning and said: "Now the thief has been broken by the Xuzhou army, Yangwu is not afraid of loss, and the general can defend himself, why should he allow the Xuzhou army to help?" Aren't you afraid that the doves will occupy the magpie's nest? ”

Guo Mo smiled bitterly: "The Xuzhou army is so brave, with one as ten, to destroy Hu Kou, so that between the division and Yan, it can be rampant." If Pei Xuzhou wants Yangwu, how dare I not offer it with both hands? Rather than wait for him to come and force it, it is better to offer ......"

Then he lowered his voice and said to Yin Qiao: "I was timid when I was not united, abandoned Huaixian, returned to Li Shihui in the south, and sent people under the fence." However, how can Li Shihui be compared with Pei Xuzhou? It is difficult to control Yangwu alone, and he is unwilling to return to Jingxian, so why not put himself under the command of Xuzhou? He is not only a high gate in the east of the river, but also holds such a strong army, even if he is attached to it, he is not bent. ”

Yin Qiao nodded first, then thought about it, and said to Guo Mo: "Does the general really want to belong to Pei Xuzhou?" If this heart is not moved, I have a plan, and I can immediately know Pei Xuzhou's intentions. ”

Guo Mo nodded and said I have made up my mind, and I will not move, please say what you can do.

Yin Qiao said: "I was just in the Xuzhou army to investigate, and I knew that there were four major battalions under Pei Xuzhou, brave and brave without 'robbing fire', strict and neat without 'strong wind', followed by 'Pengshan', 'martial arts' was the lightest - but this time the one who destroyed Hu Kou was half of the 'martial arts battalion'!" ”

When Guo Mo heard this, he couldn't help but gasp, and listened to Yin Qiao continue: "Why don't the generals return to Pei Xuzhou, saying that he admires the demeanor of the second governor of 'Wulin' and wants to follow suit, please Pei Xuzhou also give us the military number." In this way, Xuzhou must know the general's mind, if the number is given, it is Kenna and me. ”

Guo Mo nodded again and again, saying that this was a good idea, and then asked to see Pei Gai again. Pei Gai didn't know what else he was doing, so he ordered the generals to stay for a while, and he went to the small tent next to him to meet Guo Mo alone. After meeting, Guo Mo said what Yin Qiao taught, Pei Gai was overjoyed, but on the surface, he still pretended to show a little embarrassed, and asked Guo Mo:

"This is my self-proclaimed name in the Xuzhou army, the general loves it, and it is self-promulgated, why ask me? If I give Qing the military number, then if the Qingxu Department will settle Henan in the future, and after driving out Hulu, will you be willing to return with me? ”

What he said was half-true and half-false, and if someone else might really believe it, he would have hesitated. Guo Mo was very cunning, and said in his heart: "Up and down the river, the fertile soil of Zhongzhou, isn't it stronger than your Xuzhou where birds don't......" For Guo Mo and these Sizhou people, Qing and Xu do belong to remote places, but after the war, it is difficult to say whether there are more households and acres in Sizhou, or more Qing or Xu-"If you can really get the land and defend the city, I don't believe that you will honestly return to Xuzhou!" This is just a test of my heart's ears. So he agreed without hesitation: "I wish to attach Pei Gongji's tail!" ”

Pei should think about it, what number should be given to Guo Mo's department? In fact, in the original text of "Sun Tzu", there are two sentences below "its swiftness is like the wind, its speed is like a forest, its invasion is like fire, and it is not moving like a mountain": "It is difficult to know like yin, and it moves like thunder." Guo Mo is known for his cunning, which is more suitable for the word "yin", but unfortunately it is not easy to make words, so it is better to ...... "thunder".

"It can be called 'Camp Thunder.'"

Guo Mo arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Pei...... The Governor has given the number! ”

Pei should have asked inch by inch: "Since the general has no words, do you need me to take the words for the general?" ”

Guo Mo was overjoyed: "I don't dare to ask for what I want." ”

"The cloud of the book: 'Gong Mo Si Dao', but the word 'Si Dao'."

Guo Mo said goodbye and went out of the account, and happily told Yin Qiao about the number and words. Yin Qiao congratulated him and said: "There is a cloud in "Poetry, Daya, Changwu": 'Like thunder, Xu Fang was shocked. 'Today, Pei Xuzhou gave this number, and I really hope that the general is very deep! ”

——————————

Speaking of Pei Gai, after he returned to the main tent, he also told everyone that Guo Mo begged me to give me a number just now, and I called his army "Thunder Battalion". Pei Wei immediately arched his hand: "Congratulations to the envoy, congratulations to the envoy." ”

The army calls Pei Gai the governor, except for Pei Wei and Tao Kan, who still call him "envoy" - because we are cultural people after all, not the old man who has just learned how to read, and calling us "Du Du" seems to have lowered us to the same level as them......

Pei Gai smiled at Pei Wei, tacitly. Then he turned to Tao Kan and asked in a deep voice, "Tao Jun, has the battlefield been cleaned?" Our army has fallen in battle, can the bones be retracted? ”

Tao Kan said that everything has been dealt with, and the bodies of all the generals and soldiers of this army have all been collected and temporarily left in the camp-"In addition, there are still more than 300 Hu pawns and Di and Qiang who have been captured, may I ask the envoy, how to deal with it?" "In fact, the Hu army surrendered a lot, but the Xuzhou army killed smoothly, and there were only so many who could leave their lives.

Pei Gai's face was solemn, he thought for a while, and suddenly stood up and said, "I want to go to pay tribute and mourn the death, and Qing and the others can come with me." Then he led the generals out of the big tent, only to see that not far from the gate of the camp, there were corpses wrapped in straw mats on the ground - according to Tao Kan, up to the captain and deputy of the "martial arts battalion", down to the sailors who supported the boat, all the dead bodies were here, a total of 643 bodies.

Seeing this scene, Pei Gai couldn't help but feel a little sour in his nasal cavity, he didn't pretentiously do anything, he immediately lifted his clothes, bent his knees, and bowed to the ground towards the corpse of the pawn. Everyone behind him was shocked - the biggest one here was only one captain, how could the governor worship him? But most of them also knelt along, only Tao Kan, Pei Wei and Zhen Sui were still standing a little awkwardly to the side.

Fortunately, Pei Gai also bowed, then got up and ordered Pei Lian to take wine and sprinkle three wines on the grass to lay the soul of the hero. Then he ordered: "Ordered Lu and below, the left and right camps of the 'martial arts' came to watch the ceremony - and then tied up all those thieves, that is, they were killed in front of the heroic spirits as sacrifices!" "Those who are inconvenient for Xiong Yizhi to travel, just recuperate in peace, you don't have to come over. 8)
