Todd had to follow Pei Gai not long before he crossed north, and he could only "hear" about Pei Gai's experience before. However, this "heard" is what Pei Gai himself said, and he also erased all the details that might arouse the suspicion of others, leaving some glorious heroic deeds. At that moment, through the mouth of Tao De, he learned about Lu Zhifu, but he couldn't help but hear Lu Zhifu's blood surging, and praised him repeatedly: "Pei Zhijun is really a martyr!" ”

He didn't notice that Todd was not good at talking, and he often stumbled when he spoke, but when he mentioned Pei Gai's deeds, he was very sharp, and he was clearly organized and his rhetoric accurate, as if an orator had come up in an instant...... The reason is actually very simple, because this set is all taught by Pei Gai word by word.

Pei Gai pays great attention to the shaping of his own image, so he has set a unified voice for foreign exchanges. For the subordinates and slaves around him, he is constantly brainwashed every day, and when he is released to do things, he must also be repeatedly disciplined, so as not to be asked by others - it is very common to ask his master about his slaves.

Therefore, in the mouth of Todd, Pei Gai's image is unusually brilliant, not only with the Confucian tradition of benevolence, loyalty, humility, and the noble character of taking the world as his own responsibility, "reflexively shrinking, although tens of millions of people go to me", but also has the characteristics of caring for his subordinates, sympathizing with his subordinates, and appeasing the people, etc. In addition, Pei Gaizhi was more than Zhuge and fell into Hu Ying, played Shi Le and Zhang Bin in the palm of his hand, and designed to kill "Tu Bo" Gou Xi and Shi Le's henchman Qu Bin; fled south to Jiankang, and forcibly pulled out the name and military handle of Beidu from the hands of Wang Dao and Yu Liang, who had no intention of cooperation; and Zu Ti together in the middle of the stream, the suggestion was originally Pei should have come out; persuaded Bian Yan to help in a few words, and recently recruited the famous Jiangnan general Tao Kan......

Also, Jiang Jigang almost won by outnumbering the crowd, but unfortunately he did not agree, and the horse left in fright, and was forced to set up an "empty city plan", which frightened him and fled......

The more Lu Zhifu listened, the more frightened he became.

Pei should make the "empty city plan", if you say it to people after the Ming Dynasty, in most cases, the other party will not take it too seriously - this is all copied Zhuge Kongming, even if you haven't read it, you should have heard someone say "three points", it is really too stupid for Hu people to fall for you. But in these years and months are different, although there is a history that Wen Ping has played an "empty city plan", but very few people know it, so at first glance, it is inevitable to exclaim:

Damn, this can be done! You can figure it out...... How bold and resourceful is this man!

The key point is that the compulsory homework of scholars is mainly Confucian scriptures, although history and ancient classics are often both, but the older they get, the more they will memorize and even study, and modern history is rarely paid attention to - plus it is not widely circulated. There is also a history in the Confucian "Six Classics", that is, harmony, if you imitate something "one go" and "retreat", it is estimated that the other party will immediately hear the origin. This "empty city plan", in Lu Zhifu's opinion, is the first person in the world to eat crabs, the idea is so strange that it is difficult to believe, but it has achieved good results, how can you not be surprised?

Therefore, when he successfully passed through Jizhou and entered the boundary of Youzhou, Lu Zhi's father had already admired Pei Gai very much, and he often sighed: "It's a pity that I can't see such a person!" If Pei Zhijun is here, plus Liu Bingzhou and Zu Yuzhou, can it be said that I am saved? ! ”

Although Wang Jun is the assassin of Youzhou, his power has penetrated deep into Jizhou, and the ministers of many counties in the north of Jizhou are all signed by Wang Pengzu - the south has been basically annexed by Shile, and Shao Ju, the assassin of Jizhou, was forced to move the government from the letter capital of Anping State to Gaoyang of Boling State, and only one Shao Xu was left who still stubbornly held on to it. When he entered Wang Jun's territory, it was inconvenient for Lu Zhifu to come forward, and he hid the token he had received in order to pass through Shile's territory, and had to ask Tao De to open the way with the letter to Pei Xian.

A few days later, he arrived in Zhuo County, the capital of Youzhou Prefecture and Fanyang State, and the guards checked again, and this time Tao De directly tore the seal on the envelope, pulled out the letter hidden in it to Wang Jun, and handed it over. Youzhou soldiers did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly led him to the state office, the time was not big, Wang Jun summoned, Tao De was bold, bowed down - Lu Zhifu pretended to be a guide and stayed outside the door.

——————————

Wang Jun Wang Pengzu, the lord of Youzhou, had previously created Xingtai during the "Yongjia Rebellion", and set up the vassal king as the crown prince, intending to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes. It's a pity that he is too far away from the hinterland of the Central Plains, and he doesn't have any treasures under his hands, not to mention Sima Ye supported by the Xun family, even if Sima Duan supported by Gou Xi, he is more justified than the crown prince preset by Youzhou, so he was forced to stop halfway through the action, and Wang Jun was extremely unhappy.

After Sima Ye succeeded to the throne, he immediately sent people to worship Wang Jun as the great Sima and Boling Gong, and both supervised the military and Ji Zhu. However, because of the long distance, there were hostile forces such as Liu Cong and Shi Le in the middle, and the envoys repeatedly detoured, and it took more than a year to arrive in Zhuo County, and at this time, the news that the Chang'an Imperial Court appointed Liu Kun as a general and the military governor of the state had already reached Wang Jun's ears. So Wang Pengzu is even more unhappy - the great Sima, the general, the name is similar, I am at odds with Liu Kun, how can I be compared with him, regardless of Xuanxuan?!

On the issue of how to deal with the small court of Chang'an, Wang Jun saw Tian'er discussing with his ministers, and the subtext was: I don't plan to admit it, but there is no reason, you hurry up and find a reason for me! On this day, he was having a small meeting with his son-in-law and Zao Song, a regular servant of the loose horse, and came to report to the door, and Xuzhou Pei should send an envoy to greet him - first present the letter, Wang Jun opened it while reading it, and at the same time summoned Tao De to sign up.

Pei Gai wrote very politely in the letter, first complimenting Wang Jun, and then saying that I heard that my uncle Pei Jingsi was under the command of the prince, and I hope that the prince will take good care of him; Finally, he euphemistically asked the question of Tishile, saying that since this wild jackal has already led the army into Hebei, it is next to the prince, you must be cautious, don't fall for his tricks.

Pei should know that if he came up and bluntly persuaded Wang Jun not to believe Shi Le, not only would it be difficult to have an effect, but it would easily arouse Wang Pengzu's disgust - that guy was very proud and stubborn - so this first letter was mainly to say hello and contact feelings, and how to deal with Shi Le, he had to rely on his uncle Pei Xian to beat the side drum. But even so, Wang Jun was already very dissatisfied, so he casually handed the letter to Zao Song and sneered: "Just a child, you dare to teach me a lesson!" ”

Pei should be what about your family? You yourself are only in your early twenties, I heard that you took a few hundred people to cross the river to the north, and then Huaiyin did not dare to go north, there are only two or three counties in your hands, and you have to worship the Xuzhou Thorn History, the Qingxu Governor - the official position of this small court is too cheap! You and I are thousands of miles apart, and we can't hit eight poles, so you have to contact your uncle, and send me a letter to ask first. But Jizhou is my belonging, and the affairs of Jizhou are not your turn to intervene as a child who has not grown all the hair!

Zao Song took the letter with both hands, read it again, and smiled slightly: "Pei Wenyue is also kind, there is no disrespect in the book, and the father-in-law does not need to be angry." ”

While he was talking, Todd came in. Wang Jun looked at the messenger, and he was angry-you are a famous family, a member of the third grade, and I am an official residence of the second grade, why do you have to send a celebrity to deliver the letter? Did you send a trilogy boss over, it is said that you still asked Liu Yan to borrow the road first? Can't you just despise me so much?!

At that moment, he forcibly suppressed his anger, asked a few casual questions, and then ordered Todd to retreat - "Your lord's kindness, I have understood it, and the book will not be returned." Go and ask Pei Jingsi. "Tell Zao Song, and the virtuous son-in-law will show him the way.

Zao Song's attitude was not as arrogant as his father-in-law, not only sent Tao De out, but also specially sent someone to lead them to see Pei Xian. happened to catch up with Qi Hong to find Wang Jun to do something, and Zao Song also left Tao De and returned side by side with Qi Hong.

Qi Hong said a few words, explained the matter clearly to Wang Jun, and then asked: "Who are those outside the Appropriate Talent Department?" ”

Wang Jun replied casually: "Xuzhou Pei Wenyue was sent to ask Pei Jingsi. ”

Qi Hongyi frowned: "I saw a person in the line, short and dark, with a flat nose and a wide mouth, do you have to do anything Fan Yang Lu Jianying?" Xiang Wen is at Linzhang Liu's performance, how can he also follow here? ”

Zao Song hurriedly said: "The envoy from Xuzhou came to Linzhang first, thinking that he was a guide for temporary recruitment. ”

Qi Hong shook his head: "Why did Liu Yan make a member of the staff as a guide?" And when he comes to me, can he reveal his identity to Ming Gong? If not, I am afraid that there is something else to do - do you have to contact Pei Jingsi? ”

Wang Junyi frowned: "Is that really the case?" Can you see this person clearly? ”

Qi Hong smiled and said that I am from Fanyang, and I am the same villager as Lu Zhi's father. However, he comes from a big family, so he probably doesn't recognize me, but this person looks very ugly, so I can recognize him at a glance, and I will definitely not admit it.

Wang Jun filmed a few cases: "This must be Liu Yan to make it undoubted!" "Then he will give orders and send men to arrest him. Zao Song hurriedly stopped: "Regardless of whether this person is on a mission or not, the Pei clan may not know, if you are in a hurry to capture it, I am afraid that it will be good for you and Xu." And if Pei Jingsi is not malicious, the father-in-law is so careful, it is easy to open his suspicions and weaken his loyalty. It's better for the son-in-law to go to visit Pei Jingsi, check his intentions, and peek at what he is planning, if he really has something to do with Linzhang, it is not too late for the father-in-law to order the arrest. ”

Wang Jun said Okay, you go, but-"First send someone to surround Pei Jingsi's mansion, so as not to escape!" "What the hell Liu Yan, you dare to send someone to my Youzhou to dig a corner, is it tolerable? I'm going to cut off the head of that surnamed Lu and send it back to you!"

——————————

At this time, Pei Xian was sitting at home behind closed doors, discussing the political situation in Youzhou with his friend Xun Xuan in recent times.

Xun Xuanzi Yanshu, a native of Yingchuan, is the grandson of the famous minister Xun Xuan, although he is only in his early thirties, but his literary name is very prosperous, and he has also served as the Taishou of Xiapi and Sikong Zhonglang, so after taking refuge in Wang Jun, Wang Pengzu will treat him as a guest and serve as a scholar with Pei Xian.

If you want to say that the family in Wang Jun's jurisdiction was the most prominent and the most famous at that time, it must be Pei Xian, Xun Xuan, and Huo Yuan, the famous sage of Yan State, but Huo Yuan just lost his head a few days ago...... Pei Xian and Xun Xuan will inevitably die and the fox will die, so they will get together to discuss.

As soon as Xun Xuan met, he asked Pei Xian: "Why did Huo Xiuming die?" According to his crime, it was 300 prisoners in Liaodong who were thieves in the mountains, and they wanted to rob them as the main thing, and since they were 'robbed', it can be seen that Xiu Ming did not conspire. ”

Pei Xian smiled bitterly and asked, "Da Sima wants to kill someone, do you still use a reason?" ”

Xun Xuan leaned closer, lowered his voice and said, "Do you have to do the proverbs that circulated the day before yesterday?" ”

I don't know when, a nursery rhyme suddenly circulated in Fan Yang's area, saying: "Where is the Son of Heaven?" Close in the bean field. Some people say that this "bean" refers to "Huo" - Huo Tongyi, which refers to bean leaves.

Pei Xian pouted: "Huo Xiuming is a scholar, even if the world is in chaos and the heroes rise together, how can he have the share of the Son of Heaven?" It's just a sin to be added. ”

"Then why do you want to add to it?" Xun Sui brought his face closer, and lowered his voice, "There are rumors that Da Sima has usurpation intentions, and the day before yesterday he secretly asked Huo Xiuming to use the system, and Xiuming should not, but this disaster ......"

Pei Xian hurriedly shrank his body and waved his hand again and again: "Yan Shu, be careful not to speculate!" ”

Xun Xuan spread his hands: "It's not me who is speculating, it's really the heart of Da Sima, and everyone in the city knows it." What should we do if we are consulted again on a different day? If you follow it, it is a rebellion, and I am afraid that it will be left for ten thousand years; If you refuse to obey, you may end up like Huo Xiuming! How can we not be prepared? ”

Pei Xian let out a long sigh, and then replied: "Yanshu, the body can die, and the big festival can't be lost, if Da Sima really wants to kill me...... A few years ago, I led the crowd with Wang Cheqi to crusade against Shile, and for a while, I accidentally burned the camp tents and grain for the thieves, and then I was defeated in the cattle base, and the Wei County was too guarded by Liu Ju to surrender the thieves, and I was forced to abandon the army and flee to Huainan...... On the same day, he should be martyred, and for a while, the north is attached to the big Sima, and the big Sima is not unkind to me. If Da Sima Guo has a blasphemy heart, I should admonish him, even if it is a cause for suffering...... He should have died a long time ago, so why not live this life? ”

Xun Sui stared at Pei Xian's eyes: "In that case, why didn't Pei Gong admonish?" ”

Pei Xian turned his head and avoided the other party's aggressive gaze: "Now that the thieves are raging, the Son of Heaven has been taken captive, the country has been defeated, and the peace of Youzhou is all thanks to Da Sima...... If he had any intentions, I would have advised myself, but I am afraid they are just rumors...... At this time, he said bluntly, not only did he touch the anger of Da Sima, but he also had no intention of it, and he was afraid that it would become intentional...... I'd better wait for him to ask about me, and then ......"

was thinking about how to find a suitable reason, someone outside the door suddenly reported that a messenger came from Xuzhou to ask to see, Pei Xian wiped a handful of cold sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly greeted: "Please, please come in!" ”
