After learning the news of the killing of the army led by Zhi Qu Liu, Bian Yan immediately suggested that the three battalions of soldiers and horses who had gone to attack the dock forts should be recalled immediately and retreat to Huaiyin County.Chinese

Watermark Advertising TestWatermark Advertising TestBut after careful consideration, Pei decided to take another risk.

A matter of attacking the dock fort in the county, he has been planning for a long time, and if he withdraws his troops, I am afraid that it will be a failure, which is really a pity.

Second, once the Hu army penetrates into the county, judging from the current situation, it is likely that all the dock forts will echo, and the whole county will be eroded at that time.

In particular, Huaisi Wu Fort and Hanxi Wu Fort are located in the northernmost place, and it is easiest to collude with the Hu army...... Maybe a negligence may even ruin the city!

After all, the two dock forts are too close to the county seat, and the soldiers in the fort may still be more familiar with the surrounding geographical environment than themselves—not to mention the guest soldiers under their command—with them as guides, Huaiyin County will lose half of its home advantage.

Moreover, there are many large households in the city that are connected with the dock fort, if the inside and the outside should be combined...... Pei Gai didn't dare to continue to think deeply.

Therefore, they refused to withdraw the three battalions of soldiers and horses, and asked them to continue to carry out the order, and it was best to capture all the two dock forts, and destroy the key passes that the Hu army might occupy first after entering the county.

If it doesn't work out, it's not too late to retreat and stick to it; If it is done, you should withdraw quickly, and it will be more convenient for the defense of the northern Huaiyin region.

Of course, it is also necessary to urgently order the people of the reclamation land to be ready to retreat south to Sheyang County at any time.

Therefore, when the battle report of Liu Yetang and Zhen Sui came, Pei Gai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. One is that the Huaisi Wu Fort has been broken, although it has not been able to take away all the people in Huaisi Township, and it is impossible to clear the wilderness to wait for the support of Qu Liu, at least it greatly weakens the possibility of Zhi Qu Liu going deep into the county.

Of course, more importantly, since it was known that Hu Jun wanted to cross Surabaya, he must have planned to cross Huai from the upper reaches of the county seat, and the crisis of the reclamation land was temporarily resolved.

You must know that the reclamation land is Pei Gai's heart, once it is ravaged by the Hu army, even if the people have moved away, and the horses have trampled on the newly sown field, don't even think about harvesting a few stones of grain this autumn - most of the year's efforts are equivalent to completely in vain!

As the feathers galloped around, the assignment was decided, and Pei Gai ordered the servants to assist him in putting on his armor and preparing his saddle.

He was about to pull the saddle and stirrup, but Bian Yan hurried over, arched his hand, and asked him, "What do you want to do now?" Pei Gai replied: "Go out of the city to defend against the enemy!" He told Bian Yan that Zu Li had told me before leaving that once an enemy army crossed from Huaisi Township in the upper reaches of Huaishui, I would have to lead my army out to a place called Jiang Jigang in the west of the city, and take advantage of the terrain there to meet the enemy for a while to defeat its sharpness, and then retreat to the county seat.

Speaking of Zu Ti's military talent, at the turn of this thing and Jin, even if he can't say that he is firmly in the top spot, the top five can't run properly, and his reputation in later generations is probably only Tao Kan can fight against it.

However, Zu Ti's reputation was later spent in Yan, Henan, and Henan for a full seven years, and it was not obvious at this time, at most he could give him one

"Knowing soldiers" is just a simple test language. It's just that Pei Gai has always admired Zu Li, and under his influence, Bian Yan naturally didn't dare to ignore Zu Li's suggestions in military affairs.

But he still pulled Pei Gai's reins and persuaded him: "Make the king the governor of a state, and don't move in person, and Bian should go out of the city to defend against the enemy." Pei Gai smiled: "Thank you Bian Jun for your kindness." However, although I am a stabber, I have no prestige in the county...... "Because he has been playing the role of a gentleman for the first half of the year-

"The hearts of the people of the county depend on Bian Jun. If I am defeated in battle, Bian Jun can take over the responsibility of guarding the city; If Bian Jun is defeated, people's hearts will be chaotic, and I am afraid that Huaiyin will not be able to defend it! Pei should think about it very carefully, and what he said does have its truth, Bian Yan is not a person who does not know the importance of it, so he had to let go of his hand and take a deep look again: "In this way, let Jun take care, Bian is waiting for Jun Jiayin in the city." Pei should get on the horse and lead six or seven subordinates to Jiangjiganghe

"Mighty Wind",

The rendezvous of the second battalion of the "robbery fire" - he had already sent someone to pass the order, and ordered Liu Yetang and Zhen to follow the two of them to cross the south bank of the Huaishui River, first divide a small force, and escort the captured property and plundered people to the county seat, and the main force retreated to Jiang Jigang and set up a formation in danger to wait for the incoming enemy.

—————————— the level of communication in these years was very backward and extremely inefficient, but fortunately, there was no shortage of horses in Huaiyin County, and the boats cruising through the Huai River could also transmit news faster than running, but even so, by the time Pei should go out of the city, the sun had already climbed high.

More than ten miles away, Hu Han's army had already crossed Surabaya through an area with relatively gentle water flow, and stepped into Huaisi Township.

He turned his head and saw the water rushing, with countless people and horses carrying heavy loads and floating, slowly approaching the shore, and couldn't help frowning.

"Tsk" said: "Surabaya is easy to cross, but Huaishui is difficult to ......" said that I should go and catch a few locals to be guides and help lead the way?

But wherever the army came, all the people were hidden, and there were not a few people to be seen along the way. Moreover, most of those stupid villagers are uninformed, and even the range of activities in their lives is not out of the book, even if they are caught as guides, I am afraid they will not be able to lead a few miles...... Yesterday on the north bank of Huaishui, overlooking Huaiyin, I saw the fire of the flint on the south bank, and the defense was quite orderly, and it was by no means a wooden platform that could be knocked down overnight...... Zhi Quliu always thought that Pei Gaizhi was better than Zhuge and what he lacked might just be the experience of facing the enemy.

But it is said that Zhuge Liang was a fledgling, and he was able to use fire in Bowang to defeat Cao's army, although Zhi Quliu was quite confident in his command ability, but whether he could compare with the famous Cao Wei camp back then

What about "Blind Xiahou"? On the opposite side is Zhuge Liang, but there is no Xiahoudun in the army, this battle is very difficult to fight.

However, having accepted Mr. Zhang's entrustment, Zhi Quliu couldn't just take a look at Huaiyin County from a distance, so he turned around and left, so he had to continue to advance.

On the same day, Xuan An was the main general, and Zhi Quliu was the deputy general, leading the army to attack Yishan, and successfully broke through the Xi Jian Department in the south of the mountain, captured Xi Daohui, and then advanced more than ten miles, and occupied the grain tun of the Xi family's army.

But unfortunately, it does not match the rumors, and the grain obtained, even if you add weeds and dried vegetables, will not reach 5,000 hundreds.

Xuan An couldn't help but pause, and said that we will grab such a little thing and go back, but how can we wait for the Ming bus?

Ordered to support Qu Liu, you lead the troops and horses of your headquarters to the south for another day or two, and see if you can bring back the common people who have been evacuated from Yishan and capture a few thousand people.

.. Zhi Quliu asked puzzledly: "There is already a shortage of food in the army, so why do you want to plunder the people?" Could it be that ......" said with a raised brow and a look of horror in his eyes - you don't want to use human flesh as food, do you?

！ Cannibalism is such a thing, normal human beings are not on the line of life and death, no one can do it, even if you think about it, it is a sin.

Although the Shile army is running out of food, it can't reach the point where it has to eat people, and even if it does, it is forced to eat corpses, and no one will think of putting a living person in the pot.

In fact, the several incidents of army cannibalism recorded in the history books were either dominated by madmen, and the soldiers did not necessarily know about them - such as Qin Zongquan in the late Tang Dynasty - or just to vent their anger - such as Wang Mi's brother Wang Zhang.

Theoretically speaking, if an army wants to eat the living, it doesn't have to arrest the common people, isn't it surrounded by big living people?

Before the common people are put in the pot, the army itself will collapse due to infighting...... Xuan An and Zhi Qu Liu have been under Shi Le's command for almost ten years, and they know each other's temperament very well, so Zhi Qu Liu's eyes are just revealed, and Zhi An understands what he is thinking on the spot, and he can't help but be furious: "You think I am a beast?!" "How could I possibly be tempted to take people for food?

hurriedly explained, saying: "Our army is numerous, but there is no food, Cao Wei is outnumbered, and there is plenty of money and food. The original intention was to break Guanggu, defeat Cao Wei, loot his wealth, and invest in the army, but after a long battle, the Son of Heaven in Pingyang sent people to make peace, and in desperation, he had to go to rest. Now the two armies have fought fiercely, the people of Qingzhou have died, and the fields have been abandoned. Zhiqu Liuchang breathed a sigh of relief, and said I see, Brother Kui is thoughtful.

So he gathered the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, left all the auxiliaries and baggage, and only brought five days' food, and wanted to go south to pursue and plunder.

But as soon as he left the main army, he suddenly received a message from Zhang Bin—it could only be a message, because General Xiaozhi was illiterate.

Zhang Bin sent his cronies to spread the word: Pei should be deeply versed in Tao's strategy, and now he will be the enemy of our army in the future.

Fortunately, he refused to stay with Jiangdong honestly, but had to lead the army to Huainan alone, hoping that the general could take advantage of his unstable foothold to launch a surprise attack, if he could capture or kill Pei Gai in one fell swoop, it would be the best, otherwise, he would also sweep Huaiyin and destroy his foundation.

If we don't crack down and suppress it at this time, and wait for our army to go north to Xiangguo and Handan, then there will only be two forces left between Qingxu and Pei Gai and Cao Wei, but how can Cao Wei be Pei Wenyue's opponent?

In time, Pei should occupy Qing and Xu, and he will be a big trouble! Originally, this message was passed to Xuan An, but Xuan An was old and serious, and he rejected it in one mouthful, saying that although what Mr. Zhang said was reasonable, this was not an order issued by Ming Gong, and I can't act rashly because of a few words from you.

There are still hundreds of miles away from Huaiyin, and there is a Huaishui barrier in the middle, and the hope of victory is very slim, and I can't throw thousands of soldiers and horses into the unpredictable place.

You still have to find a way to convince Ming Gong, don't come to me to give me orders from Ming Gong. The envoy had no choice but to retreat, and it happened that he heard that Zhi Qu Liu was going to continue to chase south, so he quietly ran to persuade Zhi Qu Liu.

In his mind, what Mr. Zhang said must be good, and if Mr. Pei is left alone, it will indeed become an obstacle to the lord's hegemony in the future - as soon as his head is hot, he will agree.

Along the way, he hurried and hurried, and only arrested less than a thousand people from Yishan—mainly because Xi Jian's decision was quick enough to arrange for the people to flee south—Zhi Quliu refused to turn back to pay the order to Xuan An under the pretext that the number of people captured was too small, and continued to chase south.

On the way, he also broke through Houqiu County with a drum, and grabbed enough grain and grass for more than ten days. In fact, when the people of Houqiu heard that the Hu army was coming, they had already dispersed into the four fields, and Zhiqu Liu entered the city almost without blood, but they also captured more than 1,000 old and weak people who could not run far, which was theoretically enough to go back to Jiao'an.

But because of Zhang Bin's secret entrustment, he refused to stop, and only rested in Houqiu County for one night, and then set off south again, killing until the north bank of the Huai River.

I wanted to cross the Huaishui in a hurry, but when I saw the cruising boats cruising back and forth on the water, and the beacon fires were burning one after another in the Suibao on the opposite bank, Zhi Quliu couldn't help but sigh: "Sure enough, it's Mr. Pei!" "Ordered to go west along the Huai and temporarily camp on the east bank of Surabaya for the night.

Of course, in fact, the construction of the Suibao and even the setting of the patrol ship have little to do with Pei Gai, and it was originally the plan of the ancestors.

Zu Ti is comparable to Zhao Hao, although he is a brave general for a while, he has no achievements in military writings - he is not unable to write, but he has no intention of writing "Zu's Art of War" at all; Pei should be compared to Zhao Kuo, talking about Tao strategy is a thousand words, and from time to time he will record his thoughts, but the actual military command ability is still far from it, even if it is not zero

The degree of "famous general". The difference is only that Zhao Kuo doesn't care about the soldiers, and he can't listen to his father at all; Pei Gai planned to wait until he didn't have to pretend anymore, so he rolled up the covers and went to eat, live and train with the soldiers, in order to train a useful personal guard force, and he listened to Zu Ti's plan, and tried to analyze the reason from it, so as to draw inferences from it in the future.

The ancient art of war was more about the general idea than the details—the details were often the secret of the generals of the past dynasties, and they were not easily disclosed to people with foreign surnames—and modern military writings may not be applicable to ancient times.

Therefore, Pei Gai's military knowledge is very rich, but the actual operation experience is almost zero, and he has to grow for a period of time.

Stop

"Burning Bowang" is just a family saying - in fact, it was Liu Bei who set the fire, and Zhuge Liang had not yet come out of the mountain at that time - even if Zhuge Kong was a general in the early Ming Dynasty, he may not be able to look very good.

Pei Gai thinks that his talent is far inferior to that of Wuhou, but fortunately, he is self-aware, so he specially asked Zu Ti to leave Liu Yetang as the commander of the campaign - I only plan the general plan, and I will not be constrained by how to fight.

However, Zhi Quliu didn't know about this situation, he was confused by Pei Gai, and regarded the other party as Zhuge Kongming - I am afraid that it was the last two Northern Expeditions in history, and Sima Yi was all over the ground looking for Kong Ming at that time - so although he was hot-headed for a while and agreed to Zhang Bin's request, the closer he got to Huaiyin County, the more uneasy he felt in his heart.

He heard that there was a dock fort in Huaisi Township, and he tried to attack after crossing Surabaya, and if Pei should lead the army to come to the rescue, then he would use the advantage of the cavalry to win a decisive victory on the plain, so that Mr. Pei's various tricks and tricks would be useless; If Pei should not come to the rescue, then he can retreat after attacking and plundering - go back and explain to Zhang Bin.

Who would have thought that not long after crossing Surabaya, a sentry horse roared over, dismounted in front of him, and reported that he had captured one person, claiming to be the lord of Huaisiwu Fort, and was willing to guide the army. "Cat flutter Chinese
