Zu Ti crossed south this time, but he was actually holding back the evil fire in his belly, so to a certain extent, he relied on robbery to vent.

His ancestral home was Fanyang in Youzhou, and later followed his eldest brother Zu Gai and moved to Yangping in Sizhou, that is, east of Yecheng and Hebei. On the same day, because of his mother's funeral, he returned home to guard filial piety, Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, summoned Zu Ti to join the army as a pawn soldier and Jiyin Taishou, he failed to obey his fate, and he regretted it very much afterwards......

Who would have thought that Sima Yue would die inexplicably? Who would have thought that the 100,000 army would fall into the hands of Wang Yan and collapse in an instant? Who would have thought that this defeat would directly lead to the emptiness of Luoyang, and it would be besieged by the Hu Han army, and even the emperor would be taken captive? Zu Ti inevitably imagined that if he had been conscripted out of the mountain that day, and there were so many tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his hands, he might be able to save the building from falling!

But regret that there is nowhere to take the medicine, and he must save his life before he can hope for the future. So after hearing the news that Luoyang was besieged and was about to be broken, Zu Shizhi led more than 100 relatives to leave Yangping and ran to Xuzhou to take refuge - that place is where the East China Sea and Langya are located, and it is the hometown of Sima Yue and Sima Rui Group, maybe it is safer.

When he arrived in Sikou, he received an appointment from Sima Rui and appointed him as the assassin of Xuzhou. Zu Ti was overjoyed, and he rolled up his sleeves and wanted to do a big job, but he found that he dared to love Sima Ruinan Zhenjianye, and Xuzhou was completely empty, and it was completely in a state of anarchy. He only has dozens of subordinates under his hands, as well as hundreds of pro-party households, most of whom are still hungry, what can he use to stabilize the situation and guard Xuzhou?

wrote letters again and again, asking for Jianye's help, but he couldn't wait for a grain of grain, but waited for Sima Rui to call him to be the military advisor of the Zhendong General's Mansion and ordered him to go south. Zu Ti is so angry, if you know that you can't reinforce me, you have to give up Xuzhou temporarily, why did you want to appoint me as the assassin of Xuzhou for a while? Fool me?

But there is no way to think about it, since he has arrived in Xuzhou, then the only one he can rely on is Sima Rui, who wants to go to Jinyang to invest in his old friend Liu Kun, or go to Guanzhong to rely on Jia Kai, and go to Youzhou to find Wang Jun, which is thousands of miles away and extremely unrealistic - besides, he has never looked down on Wang Jun. Therefore, I had to cross the river to the south and temporarily stay in Jingkou.

Reaching out again to ask for money and food, the magistrates passed the buck to each other, and refused to give him even a son, all relying on some acquaintances or fellow villagers to help, so that no one died of starvation in the family of the ancestor Shizhi...... He had to take dozens of subordinates to Jianye to answer the call, walking on the road is the more he thinks about the more he is angry, just heard that there are a lot of rich overseas Chinese living in Nantang outside the south fence gate of Jianye, then good, Shi Shao, you go to get some clothes, food back, we are full, warm, so we can go to see those "nobles"!

Therefore, when Wang Dao and others arrived, although Zu Ti received them out of etiquette, he didn't want to give them a good look. It happened that his younger brother Zu came back last night, and reported that he had bumped into the "pawn pastor", and he thought that Pei Gai was very interesting, so he took the initiative to talk to Pei Gai, and deliberately snubbed Wang Dao and Yu Liang. When Wang Maohong couldn't hold it back anymore and asked, Zu Ticai bumped up angrily, and poured out the boredom and hatred in his heart.

Director Wang also knew that he was not sorry for the ancestors, so he hurriedly avoided the table, apologized, and said, "How can I play with the childishness?" "I originally made a statement to the King of Langya and appointed you as the assassin of Xuzhou, because I really hoped that you could regain control of the Xu Fang who was forced to let go, and I was also planning the grain, grass and equipment you needed, but-

"Shile garrisoned in Gepi, wanted to go up along the river and Huai, and attacked my Jianye, but as a last resort, he ordered Ji Siyuan (Ji Zhan) to lead the army to resist, and the grain and materials had to be supplied to Shouchun first. I waited to cross the river, the time was still shallow, many people in the south refused to obey orders, the tax income was limited, and there were many poor harvests last year, and we could no longer afford to fund the scholars, so I had to summon Qing to Jianye......"

Zu Ti sneered: "If Shile is the great enemy of the country and threatens Jiangdong, Qing and the others do this, Si is right, and I have no complaints." However, Shi Le's previous plot against Xianghan has already been ruined, and now the new and Gou Xi, Wang Mi, the army's heart is not stable, and it is difficult to want to go to Jiangdong thousands of miles away? But it's a vain ear! And if he really has the intention of committing an eastward offense, why not let his brother Wang Pingzi (Wang Cheng) or Wang Chuzhong (Wang Dun) lead his army to resist, and order Ji Siyuan? How can he break the enemy? But I just want to block the mouth of the people of the world! ”

Pei Cai listened to it next to him, and couldn't help nodding slightly, saying in his heart that Zu Ti really deserves to be Zu Ti, although he is far away, and in terms of the quality of information dissemination in these years, it is impossible for him to get any detailed inside information, but he can analyze the situation. If Wang Cheng is still the same, with Du Tao and Hu Kang threatening his flanks and rear, it is impossible for him to run to resist Shi Le; But Wang Dun should go, isn't it his credit for beating Shile last time? The key is that the Jianye regime wants to balance the north and the south, and wants Ji Zhan, who is a southerner, to make a contribution, but it does not have the determination to completely defeat Shile, and only wants to rely on stubbornness and interception to make the enemy retreat. To put it bluntly, if you respond purely passively, you don't need to mobilize so much food and materials at all, and squeeze out a little to help your ancestors, so it's not difficult at all.

He squinted at Director Wang, and saw how this "Jiangzuo Guan Pingzhong" would respond.

However, unexpectedly, the scheming Wang Dao kicked the ball to Pei Gai's feet. Regarding why he didn't send Wang Dun and sent Ji Zhan, who was not very useful, to guard Shouchun, Director Wang really had nothing to say, but as to whether Shi Le really wanted to attack Jianye, then he could talk about it in vain-"Shizhi is mistaken." Shi Le was not a false plan, he really wanted to cover up the attack on Jianye - Pei Wenyue fled back from Shi Le's army, and he knew what he was doing. Then he glanced at Pei Gai, that means, you explain it to Zu Ti well.

Of course, Pei Gai couldn't be led by his nose, and seeing that Zu Ti's gaze was also turning towards him and coming back, he smiled slightly and said two unfathomable and profound words: "If the plan can't be done, it will be true and false; If it is sold, it is both virtual and real. "Set an ambiguous tone first, and then explain to Zu Ti in detail, saying that Shi Le listened to his right chief Shi Diaoying's words, and really wanted to attack Jianye, but your idea is right, this kind of thousand-mile march is really dangerous, even if he successfully breaks Shouchun's Ji Zhan, he will not be able to reach Jianye at all-" Zhang Bin, the left chief Shi Zhang Bin thought that it was difficult to make a hasty decision between Jiang and Huai, so it was better to turn around and return to Hebei. ”

- As for whether Director Wang didn't send you supplies, it's none of my business, you tear it up yourself.

After listening to Pei Gai's words, Zu Ti lowered his head, muttered for a while, and then asked: "Since Pei Jun was in the Shile Curtain, how can he be like a person?" ”

Pei should arch his hand and say that he can't afford the word "Jun", you should call me directly-"In this way, Shi Shilong I is the master, and there is no one in the world to match!" ”

"Oh?" Zu Ti frowned slightly, his eyes staring at Pei Gai intently, "That's the case, Pei ...... Why don't you follow the covenant and get out of the south? ”

"I'm a Jinchen, how can I do more about the two masters?!" In front of this group of Jin courtiers, of course he can't say anything like "I'm not worthy of what the Jin lord does".

"The master of the world...... Zu Ti thought for a while, and then asked, "But I don't know who it is?" Compared with Uncle Pei Daoqi (Pei Shao), what is it? ”

Pei Gai smiled: "It's comparable to Ji Han and Liu Xuande." As for the uncle's Taoist period, one is a good minister, a good general, and the other is a hero in troubled times, how can it be compared? ”

Zu Ti couldn't help laughing: "Wen Yue values Shi Le very much...... Compared with Liu Xuande, the hero of the world, does he have the heart to rebel and be self-reliant? ”

Pei Gai replied with a serious expression: "Zu Xuzhou Xiu should despise this fang, although he has no education, but just like Liu Xuande, his qualifications are longitudinal, but he does not have the benevolence of Xuande." Liu Xuande did not rebel against the Han Dynasty at the beginning, he stayed in Shuzhong, and he was called the king of Hanzhong - one has been divided, and the other is supplemented by Zhuge Liang and Fazheng. Now Shile has Zhuge Liang, but he has no will to annex Wang Mi, if he is really entrenched in Hebei, I am afraid that the trend of secession will become! ”

"Qing Suoyun Zhuge Liang is ......"

"Zhang Bin, Zhang Mengsun."

Zu Ti looked Pei Gai up and down again with interest, and then glanced at Wang Dao with slanted eyes: "The only people I admire in the world are Liu Yueshi and Pei Daoqi. ”

The so-called "Eight Pei" refers to the eight celebrities of the Pei family in Hedong, namely Pei Hui, Pei Kai, Pei Kang, Pei Xuan, Pei Zhan, Pei Yao, Pei Wei and Pei Miao, but more importantly, the scholars discussed in the first years of the Zheng Dynasty to "Eight Pei Fang (tied) analogy, that is, Wang Xiang of the Langya Wang family compared to Pei Hui, Wang Yan to Pei Kai, Wang Sui to Pei Kang, Wang Cheng to Pei Xuan, Wang Dun to Pei Zhan, Wang Dao to Pei Yao, Wang Rong to Pei Miao, Wang Xuan to Pei Miao. Zu Ti's original intention was to mock Director Wang, saying that you are not as young as Pei Gai, but when he said this, even Pei Gai didn't dare to agree.

"Xuzhou has no jokes, the boy dares to compare with the elder?" "Ba Pei" are all my elders, and my father is also listed among them, even if I think in my heart that you are right-especially Wang Yan in the "Eight Kings", what kind of stuff, compare it with me-I can't admit it.

As soon as Zu Ti spoke, he also knew that he was not very polite, so he hurriedly waved his hand: "Jokes, jokes, you don't have to take it to heart." ”

Most of the scholars at the time of the Wei and Jin dynasties were wild and unscrupulous, and there were a few humble gentlemen like Wang Dao. Of course, some are really crazy, some are pretending, especially crazy people, don't be crazy enough to wantonly criticize the government and criticize those in power, otherwise you will inevitably end up in a dead end - for example, Ji Kang. Although Zu Ti is in his forties, the madness of his youth has not been completely eliminated, so he accidentally ran his tongue and said the wrong thing...... Once they lost their words, they quickly apologized, and their momentum was frustrated, and it was impossible to reprimand Wang Dao them with a straight face.

Wang Dao Duomin's people, quickly took over the conversation and talked eloquently, first explained his difficulties in detail, and then without waiting for Zu Ti to open his mouth to refute, he softened his attitude, bowed down and apologized again, and finally eliminated Zu Ti's anger. In the end, Director Wang said, don't live here, it's better to go to my house, Jianye really can't come up with the materials that can calm you down Xu Fang now, but if you feed the people of your clan, I have little wealth, and I can barely support it for a while.

Yu Liang also helped beside him: "I should also help Wang Maohong and provide for Xuzhou." ”

After he finished speaking, it was Pei Gai's turn to follow, but Pei Gai spread his hands: "When I first arrived in Jiangdong, I didn't have anything long, so I only offered the horse I was riding, and asked to borrow a good shooter as a teacher, and I would take care of him two times a day...... Three meals are also available. ”

In desperation, Zu Ti had to accept Wang Dao's "kindness", so he ordered his brother Zu Yue to clean up, and then followed into Jianye City. Yu Liang still had a calm face, his eyes squinted at the jewels on several cases, and he wanted to say something, but Director Wang quietly pinched his arm, and then shook his head lightly to stop him.

- It's not your house, my family, or even other eunuchs, forget it, don't mention it again.

When the group left Xiaozhuang and was about to return by car, Pei Gai suddenly approached Director Wang, lowered his voice, and said with a wry smile: "I wanted to entertain Maohong and Yuan Gui, but the ancestral Xuzhou brothers were just that, a group of dozens of people, I was really shy in my pocket, and I couldn't afford to invite it......"

Director Wang glanced at him and raised his eyebrows: "Then it's better to go straight to my house." "Don't you just want me to have a treat? Okay, who told me that my family has a big business and can't eat it...... 8)
