Chapter 54, where I am, that is, Pei Baiye!

Liu Cang forced Pei Shuo to write a letter to Pei Gai, Pei Shuo knew that this letter was useless, so he did not resist, what Liu Cang said, he wrote, and after Liu Cang ordered people to seal it up, send a messenger, and send it to the Jin camp. Pei Cai heard that Hu Han was coming, and thought that he was going to make a decisive battle, who wanted to open it and take a look, but it was such a bullshit thing.

The content of the letter was turned over and over, not only talking about the current situation, but also trying to separate the relationship between himself and Luoyang, summed up, the important thing is only two sentences: first, I (Liu Cang) don't want to fight, you can retreat a little, let my whole division return to Hedong, I promise that within five years, no more troops will be directed to Hexi, you can accumulate steadily; Second, if you don't allow it, then don't blame me for doing the battle of the trapped beast, killing both sides, and I will cut off Pei Shuo's head on the spot, and as soon as I return to the division, I will destroy the entire Pei clan, and cut down and knock down the thousand-year-old Pei Bai in your family!

Pei almost burst out laughing. He said in his heart that you, Liu Shiguang, are all here, and you still hold on to the shelf? Why don't you say honestly: I can't fight anymore, I'm about to be defeated, please take two steps back and leave me alive? What else is "there are also 200,000 male teachers in Pujin, if people fight hard and fight to the death, that is, Qing wins, and the children who lead the pass are afraid that those who can return to their hometowns will not be one or two", and what is "the higher the merit and the more difficult it is to reward, and the master will doubt himself outside"...... It's really a shame to die!

However, from this point of view, as Tao Kan expected, there will be great changes in Hedong, causing Liu Cang to be anxious to return to his teacher, why don't I pretend to agree, retreat a little, and when he crosses halfway, and then chase and kill from behind, he will win a big victory!

When I picked up the pen, I wanted to agree, but when I thought about it carefully, I felt that it was inappropriate. Pei Caixin said, if I am not allowed to retreat, I will directly lead the army to cover the past, although the loss may be slightly higher, but it will not cause trouble; And if you really retreat, I am afraid that the soldiers will be suspicious, and then they want to turn to chase Hu, which will increase the difficulty...... And will it be used by the Hu people to make a fuss in the future?

In the battle of Jin and Chu Chengpu, the Jin division retreated to show his courtesy, the question was that the decision was made by Duke Wen of Jin himself, if the lord was just a Jin minister, would he dare to do this? Isn't there a suspicion of internal and external enemies? If I take the initiative to retreat because of a letter, and eventually cause Liu Cang to return to Hedong, will anyone suspect that I want to raise my own dignity in order to blackmail the imperial court?

Such a small court is coerced, but I will never bear the test phrase "raising self-respect"! I am for the safety of China, for the sake of the society and the people, how can I be willing to indulge in the pursuit of my own selfishness? !

Thinking of this, he immediately picked up the pen, and at the end of Pei Shuo's letter, he approved eight big characters, and then threw it back and ordered him to bring it back.

Over there, Liu Cang was holding his hands behind his back in the tent, lingering for a moment, anxiously waiting for news. Finally, the messenger returned and presented the letter, and Liu Cang spread his hands - isn't this the one I sent? Oh, there's a word in the back...... When I looked closely, I saw the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing writing:

"Where I am, that is, Pei Bai!"

- You want to destroy the Pei clan and cut down Pei Bai, if you have the ability, then you can do whatever you want. But I have to live, Pei's will not be destroyed, and I will wait for Pei's heart Pei Bai to be naturally evergreen! You want me to let you go...... Wake up and stop daydreaming!

When Liu Cang saw these eight words, he couldn't help but be so angry that his eyes were split, and he was furious, and he even tore the letter to pieces. But when it's over, I regret it, I should show these eight words to Pei Shuo - you see, Pei Wenyue doesn't care about the life or death of your clansmen at all, so why do you still have to fight against the emperor and Han?

Immediately summoned the generals and said that I had just ordered Pei Shuo to write a letter, asking Pei to retreat a little bit, so that I could retreat back to Hedong safely, but unfortunately, Pei should refuse.

When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, and said in their hearts, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you are crazy, how can you make such a decision? At present, the situation of the Jin people is very good, how can Pei Gai take the initiative to retreat and let us escape? Didn't you lose face in vain, but you didn't gain anything?

Liu Cang looked around at the generals and said slowly: "The reason why I am doing this is because of the plan to slow down the enemy. ”

He immediately explained that Pei had only lined up for several days, and had refused to move forward, obviously knowing that his strength was not enough to defeat our army head-on, so he wanted to delay time so that his reinforcements from all walks of life would arrive one after another. I was not in a hurry to fight a decisive battle, but now that Hedong has been attacked, it is difficult to transport grain and straw materials in the short term.

Therefore, Pei Shuo was ordered to write a letter, pretending to ask Pei to retreat a little. If he agrees, he must want to take advantage of the time when our army is halfway to cross, and I can pretend to cross the river, but in fact set up an ambush, or I can break the Jin division; If Pei Caijian refuses to allow it, he must think that our army is in a hurry to retreat, and tomorrow at the latest, he will drive the army to cover up. With Pei Shuo's letter, the Jin people will be arrogant, thinking that it is easy to break me, I can strictly defend the camp, try to defeat it, and after defeating the Jin, I can retreat safely.

All in all, I devised this plan so that Pei Gai would misjudge the movement of our army and be anxious for a decisive battle, so that the enemy could be controlled but not by the enemy - "Tomorrow will be fiercely fighting, when everyone is brave, success or failure is blunt, in this move!" "If you win, all the teachers and students can return to Hedong, and if you lose, no one wants to leave, you can go and announce the soldiers, so that they can die and come back to life!"

The generals praised in unison: "Your Highness's clever calculation, you will break the promotion!" "Actually, I'm thinking in my heart, this is just a temporary rhetoric you came up to silence everyone...... It barely makes sense. Anyway, if we can't fight a decisive battle with the Jin people, it will be difficult to survive Hedong, rather than we fight back to the death, but the Jin people defend with the base, it is better to let the Jin people attack, let's find an opportunity to fight a defensive counterattack, the chance of victory may be greater......

It's just morale, formless and qualitative, even if he has been a veteran for many years, he doesn't dare to say that he can touch the psychology of the soldiers. Whether it can really inspire the great courage of the soldiers in the place of death, no one can say......

Liu Ya said: "Please also ask Your Highness to retreat to Hedong in advance......" Without waiting for Liu Cang's veto, he explained in one breath: "First, if Hedong is attacked, it is difficult for General Jin to secure, if the ferry is captured by the enemy, even if the Jin division is destroyed in person, it will be difficult for our army to return." His Royal Highness must go in person to be able to calm down and stabilize the rear. Second, if I don't move here, and no soldier has the intention of retreating, then how dare Pei should attack rashly? Only His Royal Highness led an army to retreat from the river bridge, and the boats on the river of the Jin Division must be detected to report to Pei Cai, who thought that our army was full of intentions and refused to fight to the death, so he was willing to attack me with the whole division. ”

Liu Cang groaned: "I'm just afraid that I will go, and my morale will be shaken......"

Wang Teng said: "You might as well keep His Royal Highness Daxu in the army, so as to strengthen the army's heart and confuse the Jin people." "Since the army is at the ferry and occupies the river bridge, it is normal for them to move back and forth, so it is said that they went to the east of the river to collect food, and the soldiers will not be afraid or dissatisfied because of this.

They laid out the steps flat enough, and Liu Cang also walked down in peace—in fact, as soon as the news of the attack on Hedong came, he already wanted to run away—and immediately pointed at Liu Ji: "Virtuous brother can return with me first." ”

Because he was really disappointed in this brother's courage and military talent, but if he retreated first and left Liu Ji behind, Liu Ji, as a general, would naturally be promoted to the commander of the whole army, and no general would have the prestige and qualifications to press on it. Why don't you come with me, then—"The position of the main general is in the hands of Qiao Che Rider." "Leave the aftermath to Jotty.

So in the afternoon of this day, the brothers Liu Cang and Liu Ji were mixed among the soldiers and led 3,000 people to cross the river bridge first. Tao Kan found out about it, on the one hand, he urgently reported that Pei should know, and on the other hand, he came to intercept it with a boat, and fired arrows in unison, shooting and killing many Hu soldiers who were in a hurry to cross the bridge. However, Hu Bing returned fire with a strong bow, and the number of Jin soldiers was not small.

Pei Gai is discussing with the generals, saying that Liu Cang has the intention of retreating, we can't wait any longer, we must immediately attack with the whole division and destroy the Hu army in front of us! While discussing the order of the march and how to deal with it, Tao Kan sent someone to send an urgent letter. Guo Mo thought for a while, and then said: "You can send people to the camp of Qihu, even if a certain army retreats first, there will inevitably be riots in the camp...... If its battalion is not chaotic, I am afraid that it will only be an ordinary transfer, and our army may not be easy to attack in a hurry......"

Zhen Suiyi pouted: "The Hu army is 100,000, and our army is only half ......" This is only counting the regular soldiers of each battalion, not counting the auxiliary soldiers and escorting materials at all-"This is a vicious battle, how can it be easy to succeed?" Is it because of the fear of death and injury that they will not attack? ”

Guo Mo smiled: "I don't mean that, but I ask the Metropolitan Governor to be cautious." ”

Zhen Sui wanted to say something, but was stopped by Pei Gai waving his hand. Pei Gai said: "If Liu Cang sends a certain army to retreat from the river bridge, it will inevitably shake morale, and the 100,000 army will collapse without a fight." Therefore, there is no need to look forward, you can know that he will use the excuse of rescuing Hedong or destroying grain and straw, so as to stabilize the morale of the army and actually make your chief escape first...... I suspect that Liu Cang is among them!

"I was supposed to wait for the decisive battle tomorrow, so I might as well send the army to harass Hu Ying tonight, and seeing the momentum of his movement, I can know whether Liu Cang is still in the army. If the Hu army is prepared, making it difficult for me to get closer, then I can just do it, if I can get close to his base, I can preach that Liu Cang has fled first, then the hearts of the Hu people will be chaotic, and their anger will be taken! ”

Then he paid attention to Zhen Sui: "Qing has always had the guts, can you be willing to strike first tonight?" ”

Zhen was overjoyed, immediately came out of the ranks, and arched his hand: "The last general is willing to go!" And if Liu Cang is no longer in Hexi, the Hu army will be mobilized and will inevitably be stagnant, maybe the last general will be able to go straight to Hu Lei, and I hope that after the majority of the governors and troops are united, or they will be able to break Hu tonight, there is no need to wait for tomorrow! ”

Chen An, Yao Yizhong, Wang Tang and other generals got up almost at the same time, and asked for an order together: "The last general is willing to go with Governor Zhen to break the beard!" ”

Pei Gai slapped the table: "Qing and others are fighting for the front, but they see that the morale of our army is available - it must be broken!" "Simply, we can fight tonight-" Wang Tangke led his troops to answer Zhen Sui, and Chen An and Yao Yizhong each supported their headquarters. I am the third formation, if I see that my Daxu is already in Hu Lei, General Guo can lead all his troops to follow, and force Hu Kou down the river in one fell swoop! ”

——————————

As soon as Zhen returned to the camp, he summoned the five hundred brave men—he had now gathered the number of them—and would bring out wine and meat, and feast with all the soldiers. Immediately, Zhen casually held the wine cup and said to his subordinates: "It was detected on the river, Liu Cang has already retreated first, and now the Hu camp has no owner, and the hearts of the people are uncertain. The lord pleaded in every possible way, and finally got the promise of most of the governors, with our army as the first, he must enter Hulei in one fell swoop and behead the head of the thief chieftain!

"You have endured a lot of hardships since you followed the master, but only by enduring hardships and fighting in battle can your life be easy to complete. If I can successfully break through Hu and win the first merit this time, I will lead you and others straight into Hedong, which is the hometown of the Grand Governor, and the people will be ...... Kill sheep and dolphins, and entertain us. I heard that the women in Hedong are very beautiful - if they are not beautiful, how can they give birth to such a beautiful face as the Metropolitan Governor? ”

- In fact, Pei should only be a middle-aged person, only compared with these big bosses, can he be regarded as delicate; Moreover, Pei Gai's mother, that is, Pei Gai's main room, is the daughter of Wang Rong and is a Langya person, and it has nothing to do with whether the Hedong woman is beautiful or not, not even a dime......

"If you enter Hedong, you and other unmarried people can welcome a Hedong woman as a wife; If he is married, can't he take a Hedong woman as a concubine? All the needs for marriage are on the master! The lord also wants to go to Hedong, find a big family, and take one or two concubines, so whether the lord can get his wish or not is on you. You first satisfy the master, the master can make you rich and glorious, or the beauty is in the arms, giving birth to children, and the children and grandchildren are extended! ”

After a promise of clouds and mountains and fog covers, Zhen casually drank all the wine in the cup. He supervised his subordinates, and everyone drank three lamps of wine, and the shallowest amount of wine had already begun to shake under his feet-as for those who couldn't drink at all, it was naturally difficult to enter the eyes of Master Zhen, and he couldn't pick it out with him—and then distributed the equipment, reorganized the team, and as soon as the first shift sounded, he opened the camp gate and quietly went out.

Hu Ying is in front, in the middle of a flat river, there is no danger, even some fields, ravines, these days of fierce fighting, have been trampled by people's feet, horses' hooves. Therefore, the Jin army did not light torches, led by Zhen Sui, and quietly touched the light of the bonfire in the Hu camp.

Zhen Sui's two eyes were like bull's eyes, like a lamp in the dark night, he was wearing heavy armor, a strong shield in his left hand, a sharp knife in his right hand, a strong bow on his shoulder, and a quiver hanging from his waist, walking ahead of the queue. It's a pity that the moonlight is clear tonight, and it is estimated that it is only within twenty steps of Hu Ying, and even night blindness patients can see it vaguely. Zhen Sui turned his heart sideways, and said in his heart that no matter whether he was discovered or not, or even whether there was an ambush or not, since the master came, he couldn't return empty-handed-I rushed as soon as I got close, and I entered the camp as soon as I rushed, and it was necessary to attract all the follow-up troops to enter this battle!

Anyway, our Pei Jiajun is accustomed to fighting at night, and he doesn't believe in fighting those dogs. said that it was okay to break it tonight, then it will be broken tonight, and the master never makes up nonsense!

Look at the approaching Hu Village, all of a sudden, there was a crisp sound in the Hu camp, and then countless figures came out from behind the base, and ten thousand arrows were fired together, completely enveloping Zhen and his party!
