The Jin army pursued and defeated Hu and arrived in Hedong, but there were only about 2,000 people, Zhen Sui left half of them to Chen An, guarded the ferry, took the rest of the soldiers and horses, led the way by Guo Yu, and went straight to Puban City.

Guo Yu also raised questions on the road, saying that our troops are less than 2,000, and Puban City is dense, how can it be attacked? Zhen Sui just smiled and continued to move forward, but refused to explain more.

In fact, he knew it in his heart. Because according to Guo Yu, last night the two generals gathered the defeated troops on the river bank, but he led 500 people to charge once, and then fled in embarrassment. The team that can be easily defeated by 500 people, the morale must have fallen to the bottom, even if the number is useless, now the lord will go to 1,500 troops, how can it be invincible?

What, you said there are still defenders in Pusaka Castle? So what? If the soldiers in Puban City had suffered such a big battle as last night, those two generals would have already brought them to the ferry, so it can be seen that even if there are still troops, there will not be many. Moreover, since the defeated army has entered the city, morale will spread like fire, contagious everywhere, affecting the city defenders, and there will definitely not be much combat effectiveness left.

Therefore, in the plain duel, the lord must not be afraid, maybe as long as I stand in front of the battle and report my name, the Hu army will collapse in an instant. As for the siege battle, I didn't say that I would lead the widows to attack the city, I just wanted to get close to the city and observe the movement on the opposite side, in case those two goods took the opportunity to escape—wouldn't it be a pity if Liu Cangguo was among them?

Zhen Sui was full of calculations, just because Guo Yu's reputation was too low, he could use the name of the general to suppress people, but there was an order, and the young man didn't dare to disobey, so he was too lazy to explain.

But who Cheng thought that he had just approached Pusaka, only to hear a "squeak", the city gate opened, and the county master came out with a seal ribbon in his hand, bowed down and asked to surrender.

Because Liu Cang is not stupid, since Hexi was defeated and he was forced to retreat by the Jin soldiers who came to disturb Hedong, he knew that with the current number of soldiers and morale, this Puban City would definitely not be able to hold it, coupled with Jin Kang's persuasion, he insisted that since Pei Gai failed to capture His Royal Highness the Crown Prince alive, he would definitely send an elite to pursue. Therefore, Liu Cang hurriedly gathered the soldiers in Puban City, and without waiting for dawn, he opened the north gate, took Liu Ji, Jin Kang and others, and fled in embarrassment.

Since he took all the guards in the city away - he was afraid that the road would not be quiet, and if he could have one more soldier by his side, he would be more down-to-earth - how could the Pusaka County Order dare to drown? Naturally, he ran away with Liu Cang. The county master didn't run - one is that he is from this county, his family and industry are all in Pusaka, and he can't run the monk to the temple; Second, under normal circumstances, the change of regime would not have slaughtered local officials like him on a large scale, and might even leave such people in order to stabilize the local situation as soon as possible - so he pulled the county decree and pleaded with him to stay, saying: "The county respects and abandons his post to go, but he puts the lives of a county to death?" The county order was impatient, so he had to throw the seal ribbon into the other party's arms: "You can temporarily handle the county affairs!" ”

That's what the master book wants, so let it go. As soon as Liu Cang and the others left, he immediately summoned the elders in the city, ordered the young and strong to maintain order, and swept the streets and alleys to wait for the Jin people to come and receive them. By the way, he also sent people to Lu Shiwu Fort to deliver the news - one is that the Lu family is the biggest snake in the county, and second, didn't the Lu family just turn their faces with Hu Han? Just in the middle of the contact.

When the Jin army appeared on the horizon, someone in the city urgently reported to the master that he knew, and the master book immediately held the county order seal and went out of the city to surrender. Although the number of Jin soldiers is not large, it may only be the former army; Besides, now there is not a single soldier in the county, even if you come to dozens of people, I can only surrender, right?

Zhen Sui came on horseback this time - after running and fighting all night, even if his physical strength was good, now his legs were as if they were filled with lead - that is, he raised his whip on the horse and asked: "Isn't this a fraud, is it that the old man entered the city?" ”

The master bookkeeper hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare." Han ...... in the present city Hu Bing has fled, the county order has also fled, we are all local peace and good people, born as Jin people, and have no choice but to compromise Hu Kou. Now that the king is respectfully begging for heaven and recovering his homeland, the fathers and elders are all crying with joy, and they should welcome the king, how dare they have other intentions? As he spoke, he raised his sleeves and pretended to wipe his tears.

After finishing, he also added a story: "I don't want to see Han again today...... The Jin family is well-dressed. ”

It's a pity that his big set is completely beautiful for the blind to see, Zhen Sui just snorted coldly and asked, "I heard that there was an erhu chief in the city, who are they?" ”

The main book said: "There are not only two people, but there are three chiefs of Hu, one is the pseudo-prince Liu Can, the other is the pseudo-general Liu Ji, and the other is ......."

Zhen Sui's eyes immediately widened, and the whip in his hand "snapped" across the shoulder of the main bookkeeper, which frightened the master bookkeeper and fell to the ground. I heard Zhen Sui drink and asked, "Where is Brother Liu Cang?" ”

The master stammered and replied: "Because, because I heard that the king is victorious, I am about to come to the county, and all of them have fled......

"When did you leave? Where to flee? ”

"Before the sky dawns, open the north gate and escape ......"

As soon as Zhen lifted the reins, he was about to chase around the city, but Guo Yu was quick and grabbed him. Guo Yu said that Liu Cang left Puban City before dawn, so at this time, he has run twenty miles away, how can we catch up with you and me here? "You should go to Kasaka first, and you should regain this lost land."

Zhen Sui was helpless, so he took the seal ribbon presented by both hands of the main book, and then took the lead and entered Pusaka. But he was really depressed in his heart, and he was tired after a night of fierce fighting, so he entered the county office, and handed over all the miscellaneous things to Guo Yu, and he just ordered: "Send an urgent envoy to report to the governor of the capital." Then he found a flat corner, and the kimono lay down.

This sleep until the sun is three strokes, just wake up leisurely, stretch your waist, and listen to someone next to you report: "The governor of the capital has a life...... Zhen got up with a bone, only to find that it was his own cronies who spoke, and he stood up, and he didn't know how long he had been waiting with the next person.

Ascended to the main hall of the county office, and first received Pei Gai's instructions - the order was very simple, he was just to stay in Pusaka temporarily. Immediately, the subordinate reported that the Lu family, a big household in the county, had sent someone to meet the general.

Zhen Sui waved his hand: "What Lu family, the master is gone, let them go to find Guo Yu to speak." ”

The song said: "The Lu clan previously captured Wei Zhong, the general of the puppet Zhenxi, and now he is brought to the city and handed over to the general ......."

Zhen Sui didn't listen to this, as soon as he heard this, he couldn't help but fall asleep, his face was full of joy, he immediately jumped up, and laughed: "Sure enough, the sky treats the master well, and sends a head to the door for nothing!" As he spoke, he drew a knife from his waist and rushed out, wanting to kill Wei Zhong.

Wei Zhong was detained in a prisoner car, unkempt, Piso, how miserable and miserable it was. Zhen Sui couldn't help but wonder when he saw it: "This is General Hu Zhizhen West?" "With such a filthy head cut off, can the Metropolitan Governor believe it? Think about it again, don't be afraid, cut off the head, we can fetch water to clean it.

But as soon as he raised his knife, someone from the Lu clan who had escorted him stopped him and said, "General, you can't kill it!" ”

Zhen Sui glared and asked, "Why can't you kill it?" ”

The people of the Lu clan are aware of the causes and consequences, but it is a pity that Zhen Sui did not understand what "abandoned the ceremony and attached the thief". The famous Lu family is more clever, and seeing the ignorance on the face of this Jin general, he explained simply and clearly in the vernacular: "This fang once cursed the great Sima Xiangong, so we waited for it to be captured, and we didn't dare to kill it, so we wanted to sacrifice it in front of the big Sima and take revenge by the big Sima himself." ”

Zhen Sui said angrily: "How dare you curse Da Sima and his father? It's bearable, I can't bear this master! Since he can't kill him, and he takes a whip, the master will whip him first to vent his anger! ”

Lu Shi still stopped, saying that since this person was captured, he didn't eat or drink, so I had to pinch my nose and stuff it, but this job is too difficult, after all, it is impossible to stuff too much, and now he only has half a life left, I'm afraid he can't withstand your whip...... What if I die?

Zhen couldn't kill with the killing, he couldn't fight with the fight, he was full of joy and turned into a bubble, he was angry and attacked, and immediately picked up the knife, slapped one by one with the back of the knife, and knocked down all the Lu clansmen who were blocking him. Then he shouted: "There should be a boat at the ferry, and most of the governors see that they are in Hexi, so you can go and ask for merit, why do you come here to entertain the master!" After saying that, he turned around and left.

Capturing Wei Zhong alive is certainly a great achievement, but this guy is also a hot potato, if he dies in his own hands, he will inevitably lose the price, and maybe Pei Dasima will be angry, so the Lu family originally planned to hand him over to the Jin army and it would be over. Unexpectedly, Zhen Sui didn't accept it at all, so they had to escort the prisoner car on the road again, change boats and boats at the ferry, and send them to the camp in Hexi.

——————————

Pei Gai also toiled all night, and only after dawn did he have to sleep for a while, and now he was giving orders in the big tent and presiding over the finishing work.

The Jin generals successively presented the heads of the beheaded generals, and the military Sima Pei Lin recorded and counted the merits. As for the captured generals, most of them knelt in front of Pei Gai for a moment before they were pushed out and beheaded.

Pei Gai still has a consistent policy, treating prisoners differently: small soldiers can spare their lives, and most generals are killed; Di and Qiang may be included in the Pei army system, and most of them only have hard labor to die. All in all, the smaller the number of groups, the more severe the punishment; The larger the number of people, the more you can open the net.

Because Pei Gai's view of history is very simple and clear: first, throughout the ages, the vast majority of ordinary people are fools, but fools can be taught, and "not being able to know" is to turn back the wheel of history; Second, although there are one or two heroes in all dynasties and dynasties who radiate dazzling brilliance, basically, history is created by the foolish people, and it is also the foolish people who push forward, if the power of the people is ignored, it will inevitably "overturn the boat". On this basis, it is not the right way to slaughter the foolish people, whether it is Jin or Rong.

Only when Lu Songduo was tied in, a Qinzhou soldier knelt down to plead for him, saying: "General Chen once ordered the last general to implore the governor of the capital, this Hu Xiaoyong, it is a pity to kill him." Immediately, Lu Songduo was defeated by Chen An and Zhen Sui twice, and was finally bound by Chen An, and roughly explained.

Pei Gaixin said that he could escape twice in front of Zhen and Chen's blades, and he could really be called a brave general...... Liu Guang next to him also interceded for him, so Pei Gai immediately glared at Lu Songduo angrily: "Are you willing to surrender?" ”

Lu Songduo replied: "How dare the general of the defeated army not surrender?" ”

Pei Gai sneered and asked, "Are you willing to surrender, or do you dare not surrender?" ”

Lu Songduo bowed his head and said, "The current emperor ...... Hu Han's lord was suspicious, and Liu Cang couldn't use soldiers, so he was broken by the governor of the capital, and the authority of the governor of the capital, after this battle, a certain person was naturally convinced. The Metropolitan Governor has such a Pixiu division, and he has two brave generals, Zhen and Chen, so he will win and lose, which is self-evident without words. A certain is willing to lead a horse and hold a halberd for the governor, and there is no second heart. ”

Pei should wave his hand and order Liu Guang to lead Lu Songduo down, take care of it, and wait for everything to be arranged, and then decide which part to place it in, any function.

The reason why he spared Lu Songduo's life was not only because he was brave, but more importantly, he had an impression of this name in his previous life. Although Lu Songduo was only a small character in the historical tide at the turn of the two Jin Dynasty, and only one stroke was recorded in the history books, Pei should have remembered his deeds - perhaps because this name is more convenient to call.

In the original history, although Lu Songduo was Tuge, he raised troops against Hu in Guanzhong, summoned Juqi and Qiang, and attached himself to Sima Bao, and Liu Yao sent troops to the expedition many times, all of which were defeated. Later, Liu Yao personally led his troops to Longcheng, and Sima Bao's forces collapsed instantly, and Lu Songduo was forced to flee to Longcheng...... As for what happened to this person in the end, whether he died with Chen An, or returned to Hu, there is no record.

Since he was anti-Hu, it can be seen that at least this is not an "imperial Han" person, and his loyalty to Hu Han and Liu is quite limited.

Just sent Lu Songduo, the tent came to report, saying that the Lu clan of Pusaka escorted Wei Zhong to come and present it to the governor. When Pei Gai heard this, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised, and hurriedly called to meet him. A member of the Lu clan signed up for the account, and stated the process of capturing Wei Zhong alive, and then submitted the text of the dialogue between Lu Hu and Wei Zhong that had been sorted out.

Pei should glance at ten lines, and after reading this text, he couldn't help but wonder. The people of the Lu clan asked: "Wei Zhong is seen outside the tent, but he wants to be escorted to Da Sima?" Pei Gai waved his hand: "No need." ”

Pei and Wei have a lot of grievances, and in Pei Gai's broken consciousness, they naturally hate Wei Zhong to the bone, and the souls from later generations are only a little curious about this - what kind of thing is that, acting so absurdly, and actually gaining the name of loyalty?

However, with the gradual increase in status, Pei Gai's vision has also widened, and he really doesn't take Wei Zijie's goods in his eyes. Moreover, it has been clearly stated in this text handed over by Lu Shi, people think it is false, he thinks it is loyal, this person's three views are completely crooked, so what is the reason for him?

It's like there are a lot of anti-red people in later generations, some of them are butt problems - people are old nobles of the party-state, and they have been overturned to the ground by one day, so it is understandable to be hostile to the new dynasty - and some have nothing to do with the buttocks, if you go back a hundred years, he will starve to death nine out of nine, and he will read for a few more days in the new dynasty, but he thinks that he is a master, and he is naturally disgusted with turning over at the bottom.

The same is true for Wei Zhong, when Zhang and Pei recommended him, Zejin couldn't say that he was not kind, but he turned to Shihu; If it is because of the dislike of the disorder of the Jin government, can it be said that the current Han government is very clear? It's just that when he gets on the thief ship, he will naturally be mixed up as a thief, but he will hypnotize himself with "thieves also have a way".

I'm busy, is there any need to see this goods? But—"Wei is loyal to me, does he have a word?" ”
