Pei Gai prophesied that Shi Le would be able to defeat Wang Jun and even behead him in less than a month, which even Pei Wei didn't believe. After all, there are tens of thousands of soldiers in Youzhou, Wang Jun has been in command for a long time, and if he fights locally, even if he can't win, he should always be able to carry it for a while - not a month? Unless Shi Le has the courage of Xiang Yu! And Wang Jun does not have the wisdom of Ge Bo......

So today on the Luoyang construction site, Wen Qiao said that Youzhou and Ji are fighting, and I am afraid that I will not be able to tell the winner in a year or two, Pei Kai couldn't help but interject, but he didn't dare to copy Pei Gai's words, just took a step back and said: "If Shi Le goes all out to attack Youzhou, I'm afraid that Wang Pengzu will be defeated if he is less than half a year old!" ”

Wen Qiao naturally scoffed at this, and didn't bother to open his mouth to refute it. Zu Ti saw that Pei Kai's face was a little hanging, so he had to open his mouth to play a round: "There is no need to discuss more." Pei Gong once said: 'The road knows the horsepower, and the people will see the hearts of the people for a long time.' "How about Shile, I'll wait and see, but I can also ...... "Whether he is sincere or pretending to be attached to Jin, anyway, I can't take care of Hebei now, do you Liu Kun want to interfere, and you may not be willing to listen to what I say-" However, now the six cultivators have been conferred, Pugen has succeeded as the lord of Tuoba and rebuilt the old alliance with Liu Gong, when will Liu Gong go south with the Xianbei soldiers to restore Pingyang? ”

Zu Ti was most dissatisfied with Liu Kun's letter, because you just said that Shi Le wanted to return to obedience and planned to destroy Youzhou for self-efficacy, but you didn't say a word about how the two of us worked together to eliminate Hulu. So what do you mean by sending your nephew this time? Could it be that you are showing off to the world, and those who dare to go against you (Wang Jun) will definitely not end well? Do you want us to applaud our approval of Shile's attack on Wang Jun? Do you still have the national society in your heart?!

Wen Qiao replied: "Tuoba was defeated in Liaoxi, although Pugen killed the six cultivators, the internal disorder, and the lack of grain in Jinyang, it is also difficult to send troops for the time being-we must wait for the autumn queen." Then he looked left and right: "And the grandfather is here to repair the palace, I'm afraid there is no intention of crossing north immediately, right?" Without waiting for Zu Ti to refute, he immediately bowed his head and said: "The last official was ordered to enter the Guanzhong West to meet the Son of Heaven, and asked the Son of Heaven to issue an edict to dismiss King Peng Zu from the post of Great Sima, and to discuss the matter of the joint attack on Pingyang by the soldiers and horses of the King of Qin. ”

Zu Ti nu his chin, and finally couldn't hold back and didn't scold, until he sent Wen Qiao away, he said to Pei Kai in private: "In the past, Pei Gong once talked to me, Yun Liu Yueshi is not a pure minister of the country, a hero in the world, I haven't believed it, but now it seems ......" Pei Kai took the opportunity to sell Pei Gai's prophecy again: "Pei Shizhong thought that Shi Le's ambition was blazing, if he got Youzhou, he would go west and merge the state, Wang and Liu both forgot the meaning of the cold lips and teeth, I am afraid that they will fall into the fate of Yu and Yu!" ”

Zu Ti nodded first, and then said to Pei Kai: "Qing Ke greetings to Pei Gong, I hope that Pei Gong will not change his original ambition and work with me to destroy Hu." If the society can be rebuilt, Pei Gong should be the ruling authority of the country, and he will be driven by him - Pei Gong can be Prime Minister Chen, and I will be the baby. He used the matter of destroying Lu An Liu as an analogy, but he did not say that he was Zhou Bo, but said that he was a baby, he took a step back, and expressed his willingness to let Pei should be in the top position.

Originally, Pei Gai's family background is much stronger than his Fan Yangzu, although he went hand in hand in the past, he will definitely be divided into superiors and subordinates in the future, Zu Gai really doesn't have such great ambitions, and intends to always be on an equal footing with Pei Gai - and when it comes to today's official position, he is already a step behind.

Zu Ti also knew that Pei should rush to enter the customs, that is, to gain fame and ask for power, and believed that if he changed himself, the position in the service would also be at his fingertips. It's just that someone has to stay in Henan, after all, he was originally in Yuzhou, which is relatively close to Henan, and he has dealt with a lot of forces from all sides in advance. The society has not recovered, and the enemy is currently in power, no matter how much careful thinking you have, you have to hold it first, and you can't be like Wang Jun and Liu Kun...... If Zu and Pei also make trouble like that, or even if it is just to the extent of Suo and Koji, then this country may never be better!

——————————

A few days later, Pei Kai received more than 2,000 soldiers and horses from Xun's father and daughter, Xiong Yizhi's "Wulin Left Battalion", and more than 20,000 stone wheat grains transported by Bian Yan from the treasury - it is estimated that there will be no more before the autumn harvest this year.

Zu Ti warmly entertained Xun Song, and Xun Song said during the banquet: "The little son-in-law has to serve as the three divisions of Shizhong, General Wei, and Yitong, and stop with Zujun Sizhou Assassin History, which is inevitably unkind." If I enter Chang'an as a eunuch and participate in political affairs, I will be the son of heaven, and the general of Jiazujun will be heavy. Zu Ti thanked him repeatedly.

After resting for a few days, the group left Luoyang and continued westward, but before they could reach Huayin, they suddenly got news that Liu Yao had united with the Void Division of Shangjun, and no less than 200,000 troops were going straight to Dalicheng. Xun Song panicked at that time, and hurriedly asked his daughter not to cross north again, and to go to Chang'an City with me first - I had to write to my son-in-law, don't carry it hard, temporarily abandon the second county, and retreat to the south of Weishui Tunzha as well.

Xun Guanniang shook her head and said: "Daddy is going to Chang'an, and I am still crossing north - my husband is bleeding in front of him, how can my wife not go to rely on each other, but retreat and avoid myself?" ”

Xun Song said, what can your daughter's family do when they go to the front line? "If you are safe, presumably Pei Shizhong will be in Dali City, whether he guards or retreats, he will have no worries." After a pause, he said: "In the past, in Wancheng, you were just clever and clever, but now you can't get it in front of the Hu people." And though thou shalt ride a horse and shoot arrows, thou shalt hunt in the countryside, and thou shalt be a bird or a hare, and if thou shalt encounter jackals, tigers and leopards, thou shalt retreat and retreat to peace, and thou shalt not be ashamed of the man's redress. ”

Xun Guanniang still shook her head: "If you can defeat it, you will naturally have no worries; If you are defeated, you can only die with your husband, and you don't want to be widowed! Knelt down and kowtowed to Xun Song three times in a row: "Daddy, since the son is married, he is the Pei family, life and death, rich and poor, all should be shared with Pei Lang - say goodbye to Daddy today, and cherish each other." ”

Xun Song couldn't persuade his daughter--she never could do it anyway-in desperation, so she had to say goodbye in tears. He left more than half of the Xun family's cronies to his daughter-about 30 people--repeatedly told him, if Dali is in danger, you don't care about Pei Cai, even if you tie up, you have to tie my daughter back to Chang'an! Anyway, the girl is still young and has nothing to do, so it's a big deal to remarry......

The cat also had to follow Xun Guanniang - because theoretically she followed and married, and she was already considered a member of the Pei family - but even Xun Guanniang refused to agree, saying: "I can still ride a bad horse, if there is a case, I may be able to kill a glimmer of life; But with two feet, how can thou escape from great trouble? "Besides, because the cat is not used to the climate of the Central Plains, she has been sick for the past few days, she can't eat or sleep well, how can the Xun father and daughter let her go to the front line? In the end, she was dragged alive by Xun Song.

Pei Kai and Xiong Yizhi protected Xun Guanniang, and originally planned to cross north from Weiwei, that is, the confluence of Weishui and the Yellow River, because they were worried that the Hu army would quickly move south and might send troops to fight for the ferry, so the crossing place was temporarily changed to the west of Huayin. After crossing Weishui in this way, there is also a Beiluo River, which is close to Dali, and theoretically speaking, it will not be completely blocked by the Hu army.

If the lock is really tight, then it is impossible to think, so I have to retreat to Huayin, or go west to Chang'an.

Sure enough, there was no danger along the way, only some Hu army rangers and sentry spies were seen from afar, how could they dare to approach the 2,000 soldiers and horses of the "Wulin Left Battalion"? In addition, the team carrying grain, the carts were full of flags, and from a distance, there were more than 5,000 people who believed it...... The group successfully crossed the Beiluoshui River and arrived at the foot of Dali City. Pei Cai heard that his wife was coming, and he hurriedly opened the city gate, he personally ran to the city gate to greet him, and the first thing he said when he met was: "I have sent someone to deliver a letter, asking my wife to temporarily transfer from my father-in-law to Chang'an, haven't I received it?" Why is Madame here? ”

Xun Guanniang smiled and said: "I am afraid that the monarch has worries and retreats, so I have always strengthened the king's heart." ”

Pei Gai took his wife's hand and said with a smile: "My heart is like a rock, that is, without a wife, how dare I not be strong?" ”

——————————

The Hu army claims to be 200,000, but in fact there are 1340,000, why can't they surround Dalicheng, but let go of the south gate, so that the reinforcements, grain and Xun Guanniang can enter and exit smoothly?

This is mainly because Dalicheng is too close to Beiluoshui, Pei should have dug a deep moat, connected with Beiluoshui, and built a fort in the south of the city, until the ferry, there are also pre-collected boats on the water, cruising back and forth, Hu Jun wants to completely block the south gate, it is too difficult.

Liu Yao had planned to send his farewell army around Beiluoshuidong, first conquering and blockading Weixi, and then copying to the south of Dalicheng, but Huayin ordered Lu Zhifu to build a number of forts along the Yellow River more than three months in advance—modeled after those built by Zu Ti and Pei Gai in Huaiyin County—and defended them tightly, making it difficult for Hu's army to capture the ferry.

Especially when the Hu army entered Dali City, the first battle was unfavorable, so there was no time to completely lock the city anymore - in Liu Yao's mind, he had to leave a way back for the other party, so as to prevent him from being trapped and fighting to the death.

Hu Jun roared to come, three days before Xun Guanniang entered the city, Liu Yao deliberately provoked Yiyu to take the initiative to ask for orders, leading more than 3,000 elite cavalry of the headquarters as the vanguard, and Liu Yao sent the general Song Shi to lead 500 cavalry as his guide. These thousands of cavalry left Haoyang City in a menacing manner, and stepped south into the plain area, Beigong Chun led his troops to obstruct it, and was easily repelled by Yiyu - Pei should have already taken care of Beigong Chun, saying that if you encounter a weak enemy, you can advance and break it, if you encounter a strong enemy, you can stop at a shallow taste, don't touch the other party; Your cavalry is too crucial to the situation of the battle, and unless I give it a direct order, you must preserve your strength.

"Liangzhou Horse" is very sophisticated and brave, which Yiyu can naturally see, but only in this way, as soon as the other party engages and leaves, he is even more arrogant, saying: "I know that the Jin people are timid, but they only rely on the fortified city to defend, although they have the northern cavalry, they are not good at using it." If I have such cavalry, I will lie in wait for the enemy to attack the city before I can enter the battlefield, how can I be a hundred miles away? ”

So strode forward, when more than ten miles away from Dali City, the front rangers came to report, saying that they found a small group of people pushing carts and carrying bags, and were fleeing in the direction of the city. Yi Yu said that since this is the case, then what are you waiting for, hurry up and chase after it-"If he allows the people to enter the city, we can take advantage of the situation to seize the door; If you don't accept it, you will kill all these Jin people outside the city to scare the hearts of the people in the city! ”

Song Shi listened to it next to him, and said in his heart that this Yiyu is not stupid at all, although he is a little proud and a little more violent, but the rules and regulations of the basic march and war are not chaotic - maybe he can really rely on these horses of Di and Qiang to conquer Dali City!

At this point, he hurriedly chased after him, and saw from a distance that the north gate of Dali was wide open, and the suspension bridge was lowered, wanting to receive the more than 100 Jin people into the city. Yi Yu pulled the knife from his waist and waited to speed up his horse. Song Shi clamped the horse's belly with his legs, straightened his waist, looked at it from afar, and said that his heart was not good, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop Yi Yu and said: "The general is slow, this is the Jin people's plan to lure the enemy!" ”

Yi Yuyi frowned and asked what do you mean by this? Song Shi pointed and said: "Our army also often sends people to inquire about the news of Dali, knowing that a few months ago, Pei Gai moved all the people within ten miles outside the city into the city, how can there be a reason for our army to kill and dodge in a hurry?" Besides, general, please see, those Jin people are all young and strong, and there is not a single old, weak, woman or child, so the intention of tempting me to attack the city is clear! ”

Yi Yu pursed his lips and said that you think too much-"Only young and strong can be lucky, and they refused to return to the city from Pei Gai's order, and they wanted to flee in a hurry." And our department is very brave, unlike you, although they are not good at climbing the city along the wall, but they are all fearless with swords and arrows, and fight on the ground. Even if the Jin people really tempted me and wanted to kill and injure us in the narrow part of the city gate, I was not afraid of him, and I just took the opportunity to seize the gate and take the city! ”

Then he waved the long knife in his hand and said that you get up, don't stop me from making this first achievement.

Song Shi had no choice but to retreat, but he restrained the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to slow down, and it was better not to get too close to the city first. I saw that the vanguards had already stepped on the drawbridge, but the city gate had not had time to close, and suddenly, a drum sounded in the city, and I saw countless human heads instantly exposed on the low wall on the inner side of the city moat, and then arrows rained down......

The cavalry of the Void Division was shot over more than a dozen on the spot, turned over and fell into the deep trench. Yi Yu saw that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly reined in the horse, but the queue was completely scattered. He was waiting for the whole team to retreat, and there was a miscellaneous sound of horses' hooves behind him, and the "Liangzhou Horse" rushed out from nowhere!

Fortunately, the Hu Han soldiers at the beginning of the Song Dynasty were still neat, and they hurriedly turned around and attacked Beigong Chun. Under the flying arrows and the collision of knives and spears, the Hu Han army suffered a lot of losses, but when Yiyu finally reorganized the team and retreated beyond the range of the enemy's bow and arrow, and rushed over to reinforce Song Shi, Beigong Chun did not wait to do all his work, but led the "Qi Cavalry Battalion" to drift away.

After all, Beigong has been a general for many years, and he is very skilled in the use of cavalry, and he has a good grasp of the rhythm of battle, and before leaving, Pei Cai also personally taught him a sixteen-character mantra, which is: "The enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and I disturb, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase." ”

Speaking of Taizu's sixteen-character mantra, although it is the art of war, it is not something that everyone can play. First of all, you have to have enough mobility, otherwise I won't be able to retreat far if the enemy advances, and I won't be able to catch up with the enemy's retreat, so what's the point? The Liangzhou cavalry is naturally able to do this; Secondly, the organization and discipline must also be strong, and then there must be no chaos, retreat and not disperse - more than half of the "Qiji Battalion" are Liangzhou villagers who have followed Beigong Chun for more than five years, and they can really carry out the harassment task almost perfectly.

Therefore, when Beigong heard this mantra that day, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said in his heart that this was a wonderful strategy tailored for my "Qiji Camp"! What, you said that it was copied by the governor, not original, how can it be......
