The vast history is not as much as the long river on the earth as it is to the stars in the sky, and everyone in history is a star in the river. Some people burn their lives and shine like bright stars, while others are just planets and moons that can only reflect the light of the stars, and there are meteors that cross the sky in an instant and are forced to burn out before they die......

If you talk about the fifth, I'm afraid it's worse than a meteor, but it comes and goes without a trace, it's a bit similar to a meteor. Pei Gai still knew this person through the story of Xun Guanniang in his previous life, and his deeds before he was appointed to supervise the four states were not recorded in the history books, and then he was annihilated together with Du Zeng, I don't know if he was alive or dead, and what the ending was. So he was also quite curious, what kind of person is this fifth chief?

Is it really the talent of the president, but he is alone and unlucky, or is he just Du Zeng's puppet?

The army marched to the north of Wancheng, and Xun Song went out of the city instead of the fifth Yi to greet him and meet Pei Gai. Pei should look up and down at this Yingchuan celebrity and Xun Wenruo's great-great-grandson, and said in his heart that if you have the ability to be a high ancestor, you will have a flame of light in this troubled world, and it will not be silent, and the future generations will have to rely on a daughter whose authenticity is difficult to judge to pass on the name.

Xun Jingyou is nearly fifty years old, born with a slim body and a long beard, but he does have a good skin, and his demeanor is dignified. Because of the title, Pei Gai is now the Duke of Julu County, and Xun Song is the Duke of Quling County, only half a level apart; In terms of generals, Pei should be the miscellaneous general Long Xiang, and Xun Song is the heavy Pingnan general, both of whom are the military governors of a certain state - although Xun Song's nominal jurisdiction is only half a state, in fact, there is no city; In terms of the door, Pei and Xun can be said to be indistinguishable.

Pei should dismount and return the salute, and asked respectfully-after all, where is the age of the person, he is almost twice as old as himself, and he must know how to respect the elderly-"Xun Gong, I don't know where the fifth prince is?" "I'm here to see the fifth one, you're just a foil.

Xun Song waved his hand: "The fifth prince is in the city, and a banquet has been set up to entertain Pei Gong - Pei Gong, please come with me." ”

When Pei Gai heard this, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and he was a little unhappy in his heart. As a general of Annan, the fifth Yi supervised the military of Jingliang Yining and the four states, and he was only half a level higher than Pei Gai, at most he had an extra scepter in his hand, so he dared to be so big and refused to go out of the city to greet him? Could it be that he relied on being a minister worshiped by Emperor Jin Chu, so he looked down on himself in Yuanzhou?

But since he came, he didn't immediately shake his face and go home. So Pei Gai ordered the soldiers to camp outside the city, and he took several subordinates to follow Xun Song into Wancheng and came outside the county office. The fifth Yi was not too much, leading Du Zeng, Wang Gong and other generals to greet him outside the gate and greet Pei Gai. Pei should look at this fifth Yi, who is in the prime of life and has a strong spirit, but in terms of appearance and demeanor, he is far worse than Xun Song - sure enough, his family background is high, and his upbringing is different.

The fifth general Pei should be let into the office and enter the main hall to set up a banquet and entertain. After casually saying a few words of soup, and gradually turning to the topic, Pei Cai asked: "Hearing that the fifth prince is coming and entering Xiangyang, Wang Shijiang refuses to meet him, and resists the soldiers, somehow?" Did the second prince have a grudge in the past? ”

In fact, why did Wang Xuan prevent the fifth Yi from entering Jingzhou, Pei Gai naturally knew it, he deliberately pretended not to know, and deliberately cited personal grudges, which is to imply the first Yi: I can't be regarded as a party in Jiankang, at least between Jiankang and Chang'an, for the time being, there are two subordinates, so do you mean to solicit me on behalf of the imperial court? Please open the conditions.

However, the pretty eyebrows were shown to the blind man, and the fifth Yi didn't listen to this, and when he heard it, he immediately raised his eyebrows and said hatefully: "The Wang family thinks that he has the king of Langya to rely on, and he doesn't put the court in his eyes, and he dares to resist the king!" I will expel the ugly people and sweep away Jingzhou, and I will ...... the covenant."

was going to mention the matter of asking for food for the soldiers, but Pei Gai interrupted him. Pei Cai asked him: "I should hear that the fifth prince is the governor of Jingliang Yining and the military of the four states, and Jingzhou is disobedient, I don't know what about the other three states?" Although Wang Shijiang and others have had it, they are also ministers of the court after all, and they are colleagues with each other, so they should not be arrogant. Why don't the fifth duke set Liang Yi first, at that time, the army was strong, and then led the army into Jing, I expected that Wang Dao would not dare to block the road. ”

Pei should be annoyed that the fifth Yi couldn't understand the good words, so he stabbed him - why don't you go to Sichuan first? Is it glorious to fight in your own family's nest?

Hearing this, the fifth Yi couldn't help but look embarrassed...... Most of Liang Yining's three prefectures are currently occupied by the Bayi Li clan, where does he dare to go? In fact, if it weren't for the turmoil in Jingzhou, he felt that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, and he wouldn't have the courage to come to Jingzhou - sure enough, he subdued Du Zeng without much effort. But Pei Gai's question is reasonable, you should always attack the foreign enemy first, and then calm the internal troubles, no matter how unfounded Wang Hui is, after all, he is not a genuine rebel, and it is estimated that you will not be able to ask the court to crusade against him.

But how do you answer that?

Fifth Yi couldn't help but set his eyes on Xun Song, that means, Jing You, you can help me say a few words.

In fact, he didn't trust Xun Song very much, after all, not long ago, the two sides were still inside and outside the city, fighting each other, and Xun Song was forced to surrender without reluctance. But the problem is that the status of Du Zeng, Wang Gong and others he trusts is too low, so it is not good to interject casually, and talk to Pei Caiyou word by word, and if you can help with the mud on this occasion, then there is only Xun Jingyou alone.

But Xun Song didn't have anything to say, and he had a complaint in his heart: Not only did you not decide Sichuan first, but you wanted to fight Jingzhou, and if you didn't attack Wang Xian first, turn your head and beat me upside down, we all came from the north after all! Therefore, Pei Gai's words were exactly what he wanted, but seeing that the fifth Yi glanced over, he was under the low eaves, and it was not good to pretend not to see, so he had to raise his wine glass and said to Pei Gai with a smile: "Pei Gong is far away, the fifth prince is holding a banquet, please win the drink, you don't have to think about the current situation first." ”

Pei Cai picked up the wine glass and touched his lips slightly, and said in his heart Okay, let's not mention the current situation - I have to talk to you a few more words, Lala relationship, and then I can get to the point, but I fucked it. So he asked Xun Song: "Is Uncle Taizhang Antai?" ”

——The so-called "Taizhang Gong" refers to the Taiwei Xun group in Heyin. Xun Group is Xun Shuang's great-great-grandson, Xun Shuang's brother Xun Qi gave birth to Xun Yu, and Xun Yu's great-grandson is Xun Song - so Xun Group is a generation higher than Xun Song.

Xun Song replied: "There was a letter sent from last year, and he is still healthy." It's just that Heyin is disturbed by thieves for three days, and my uncle is worried and sleepless all night, but I am afraid that it will not be able to last......"

In the land of Heyin, in fact, if the Hu Han army attacks with all its might, it will not be difficult to break it. The first problem is not to worry, Liu Yao is still busy attacking Chang'an, and Liu Cong is still in a hurry to resist Liu Kun, so he can't take care of the Xun group for the time being; The second Xun group also contacted many Wubao owners in the surrounding area, including Chen Wu, the "beggar army" in Pengguan, and they were in a state of horns, and if they didn't use the army to suppress them, they wouldn't have much chance of winning - so they could survive and live until now.

Pei Gai followed the conversation and asked: "Since Duke Xun was ordered to protect Jingbei, I don't know if he has brought his family here?" Under the knees of the male, are the heirs still flourishing? ”

Xun Song shook his head and said, "There are many children, and the only son is named Rui, who is still ......in his prime."

Pei Caixin said that this is another old man...... The previous one is Xi Daohui, who is in his forties, and his son is still in swaddling clothes, and it is expected that there will be several more below, and they are all liquid at present...... Is it because people in this age are marrying too early and the level of medical care is low, so it is difficult to save the common newborn child?

However, he asked Xun Song's heirs, in fact, "Xiang Zhuang danced the sword, intended for Pei Gong" - and then asked: "There is only one son, has he never had a daughter?" "Does that Xun Guan Niang exist?

Xun Song glanced at the fifth yi, shook his head and sighed: "There is a daughter who followed her to Jingzhou, maybe because she was not accustomed to the water and soil, and she died last year......

Pei Gai nodded slightly, and said in his heart that it was really not credible, and the thirteen-year-old weak girl asked for soldiers to save her father Yunyun, which was all nonsense. Then he asked: "The Xun family is the Yingchuan Gaomen, the family must be prosperous, I don't know how many children Uncle Zun has?" ”

He couldn't think of any other topic for a while, so he had to ask about the situation of the Xun family - because of what is the situation of the fifth family, his eyes are completely black, except for the fifth, he can't think of a second surname in this life, there is really no reason to greet. As for Du Zeng, Wang Gong and others, he was also quite interested, the problem was to ignore the fifth yi, and asked Xun Song if there was anything to say, the status of those two goods was too low, and they had not yet opened their mouths, so it was inconvenient to talk to them across the fifth yi.

He also noticed that there was often eye contact between the Fifth Yi and Du Zeng, as well as between Du Zeng and Wang Gong, and it seemed that the Fifth Yi was urging Du Zeng, and Du Zeng secretly inquired about Wang Gong—I don't know what the purpose was.

While greeting Xun Song, while drinking, the time was not big, and a servant came up to add food. In these days, people used to sit on the floor, adopt a separate meal system, and put a short table in front of each person, about two feet long and more than one foot wide, and to be honest, there were not too many dishes. Ordinary scholars eat, four dishes and one soup are almost the same, the case is just full, this minister's house, and a banquet to entertain distinguished guests, it is impossible to be so shabby, and it is necessary to remove the old plate from time to time and put on a new plate.

This time, it was a large plate of grilled meat, and it was not clear what kind of meat it was, but it was browned, oily, and smeared with various spices such as caramel, which made people appetizing when they looked at it. But it's very strange that the meat burn brought to Pei's case turned out to be the tip of the wooden skewer facing the guest, which is very unruly. Pei Gai couldn't help but raise his eyes, and glanced at the servant who delivered the meal, and said in his heart that he was still a slave of the Xun family or a slave of the fifth sect, which was really too low.

When he raised his eyes, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned. I saw that the servant did not bow his head, but was very impolite to face him, a melon seed face, long eyebrows and almond eyes, hanging nose and mouth, although the face was slightly immature, at most sixteen or seventeen years old, Pei Gai could still see at a glance: this is not a man, but a woman!

It's normal to order a maid to deliver food, but since it's a woman, why is she wearing a manservant's clothes?

People in these years have limited knowledge, especially those nerds who only know behind closed doors, and I am afraid that they have never seen a few women in their lives, so the story of women dressing up as men can still be deceived will sound ridiculous in later generations, but it may not happen in this era. But Pei Gai is a soul from two thousand years later, well-informed, male or female, no matter how he puts on makeup, there are few things he can't distinguish.

Of course, he has also seen men and women, or women and men, and he must observe carefully to draw more accurate conclusions. But the appearance of the person in front of the question, the gender characteristics are very obvious, although it is not completely developed, but even if he is two or three years younger, Pei Gai can still identify the gender at a glance.

He was surprised, but saw the woman squeeze her eyes at him, and then glanced in the direction of the door. Pei Gai couldn't help but be curious, so he waited for the woman to prepare the dishes, and after leaving, he drank two more sips of wine, and then confessed to the fifth yi, saying, "I want to change my clothes." ”

"Changing clothes" is a euphemism, just like later generations say "I'll wash my hands" and "I'll make up my makeup", the real meaning is: Where is your toilet? The fifth Yi immediately appointed a servant: "You will lead Pei Gong to go." ”

In those years, the toilets were built outdoors, and there were no toilets indoors, so Pei Gai used the toilet as an excuse to go out of the main hall. Looking left and right, there was no trace of the woman, so I had to follow the servant to the east, and took advantage of the fact that the water was really released. But when he came out of the toilet, he saw the servant lying on the ground, I don't know what to do, and there was a person standing next to him, it was the beauty in men's clothes - Pei Gai also had to admit that this girl looked quite smart, so I didn't know what it would look like when she changed back into women's clothes?

The woman hugged her fist at Pei Gai very manly, her voice was crisp, but her voice was fast: "Pei Gong, today is not a good banquet, the fifth prince was instigated by Wang Gong to capture Pei Gong during the banquet and seize the prince's soldiers, horses, and grain." ”

Pei Gai was naturally surprised when he heard this, but after all, he had experienced a lot of things, but he frowned slightly, and did not show too much shock and fear, but just asked: "Who are you and how do you know?" ”

"The villain was ordered by Duke Xun to rescue Duke Pei."

"How to rescue?"

The woman winked and said, "Come with me." Pei Gai didn't have time to think about it, so he followed her around the east and west of the courtyard, avoiding the patrolling soldiers and shuttle servants, and soon came to the side of the courtyard wall. I saw that the woman lowered her head, and Pei should follow her line of sight - am I not a dog hole?!

Immediately shook his head with a wry smile: "I am a minister of the imperial court, how can I come out of the dog's sinus?" ”

The woman persuaded: "Life is at stake, why waste honor and disgrace? And I don't say it, who knows? ”

Pei Caixin said that if it was really a matter of life and death, he couldn't say it, and the dog hole had to be drilled, but the problem was - looking left and right, the courtyard wall was not very high. So he took two steps back, then suddenly accelerated, and with a vertical leap, his hands were on the wall.

The hand is choked, and the problem leg can't go up - the main problem is that he is wearing a public uniform at the moment, with a top and a bottom, and it is not easy to leave his legs too far apart. I can't help but feel annoyed in my heart, the so-called "Huaxia Clothes", it looks very elegant, but it is really inconvenient to move, if this is a combination of the upper and lower, and the two sides are slitted Hufu, it will be much easier to climb the wall.

Suddenly felt a strong force coming from under him, and looked down, it turned out that it was the woman who was shoulder-to-shoulder, Pei should take advantage of the momentum, and finally went to the wall, and then jumped outside the hospital. Then the woman also came out of the dog hole, stretched out her hand and pointed not far away: "Horses have been prepared there, Pei Gong can hurry out of the city from the West Gate - the guard of the West Gate is the old general of the Xun clan, and he will not be checked." ”
