As soon as Xue Tao heard Pei Shuo directly say his name, he knew that something was wrong, so he quickly knelt down with a "plop", and then kowtowed again and again, begging for mercy.

Pei Shuo struggled and said: "We are innocent, and we are Jin Min, how can the general kill him?" ”

Zhen Sui sneered: "You are Jinmin? Pointing at Xue Tao: "He has long been the official of the Hu thief, and he has attacked my ferry and attacked Xia Yang, it is clear that I am the rebellious and rebellious general of Jin!" ”

Pei Shuo hurriedly argued: "General, Xue Tao was really coerced by the Hu people, and had no choice but to be his guide. And although the old man was detained by the Hu people, he had never been subjected to Hu Zhilu, so he took advantage of the chaos to escape, what is the crime, where do you want to enter my car? ”

Zhen Sui waved his hand and said: "Since I am a guide for the thief, I don't care if I am really coerced, I should be a capital crime!" As for you, the old horseman, if it weren't for the surname Pei, I would have cut it together today, but fortunately, your surname is good, so you should be escorted to Chang'an and wait for the governor to fall. "Hurry up, don't talk so much nonsense.

Pei Shuo saw that Jin Bing's dangling knife was already on Xue Tao's neck, and couldn't help shouting: "Keep people under the knife!" Tell the general that he is also the son-in-law of the Pei family, and the general must not be killed! Then a light flashed in his mind, and he hurriedly said: "The general's garrison is here, do you want to attack it?" If you release the old decay into the city, you don't have to stay until night, you will be able to open the city gate for the general! ”

When Zhen Sui heard this, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and he was still hesitating, but Yao Yizhong next to him leaned into his ear and whispered: "Since he is the son-in-law of the Pei family, it is indeed not appropriate to kill without permission, and he should report to the Metropolitan Governor's Office." As for Pei Shuo, Wen Bishi is in charge of the Pei clan government, then he must have power in Wenxi County, if he can really open the city gate, it can save me a lot of energy. I should take advantage of the chaos and rush to Linfen and Jiangyi, and there is no need to delay under Wenxi City. ”

Zhen nodded casually, and said, "In this way, for the time being, the old puppet's invitation will be granted, and then I will enter the city to ask them to surrender." If the city gate is not opened at night, the lord will kill Xue Tao first, and then attack the city, and the chickens and dogs will not be left! ”

Pei Shuo gave Zhen Sui a deep look, then turned around and walked tremblingly in the direction of the county seat. Zhen watched his pace, and estimated that he might not be able to reach the city until dark...... And maybe he will fall down halfway and hang up. So he ordered the carriage to be returned, found a local guide to drive for Pei Shuo, and went straight to Wenxi County.

Pei Shuo really has a lot of prestige in the county, and there are also many children surnamed Pei in the county, or attached to farmers, seeing that the old patriarch has returned, he hurriedly took down the bamboo basket and took him to the city. Immediately, Pei Shuo asked to see the guard, and in front of many soldiers, he told the news that Liu Cong and Liu Cang were dead, and there was an uproar in the city, so before dark, the guard took the initiative to open the city gate, and went to Zhen Suijun with a seal to ask for surrender.

After Zhen Sui entered the city, he immediately ordered Pei Shuo and Xue Tao to be temporarily detained for future release. He didn't have the mood and spirit to care so much for the time being, as Yao Yizhong said, he had to hurry up to attack Linfen and Jiangyi, and try to continue to advance north, driving straight to Pingyang.

The army rested overnight in the city, and then embarked on the journey again the next day, passing through Dong Chi and approaching the Hushui - Jiangyi was on the north bank of the Hushui.

The people said that the officials and guards of Linfen and Jiangyi were scattered the day before yesterday, but early this morning, it seemed that another Hu army entered the city and closed the four gates - that was naturally Qiao Tai's department.

Zhen Sui couldn't help but feel deeply regretful - I had to come a day earlier, and I could directly take down the two empty cities, wouldn't it be worry-free? Hurriedly waved his army to cross the river, and also skillfully arranged to prevent the Hu army from attacking halfway, who wanted to enter the city all the way, but did not encounter the slightest resistance.

The key is that Qiao Tai didn't expect the Jin army to come so quickly, he had just entered Linfen not long ago, and the troops would come to guard Jiangyi. At this moment, there are less than 1,000 soldiers in Jiangyi City, and even most of the residents have run away, trying to force the young and strong to help defend it, but they can't find a few people...... What kind of courage does General Hu have to dare to go out of the city to go against the Jin Division?

Zhen followed him to the city and saw that there were few guards, and he was obviously sluggish and untidy. Although he was not good at siege cities, he finally gained more and more knowledge, and knew that in this situation, there was no need to waste time and play any tricks. Immediately ordered Yao Yizhong to select the elite, and the ants attached him, and he really conquered Jiangyi in one fell swoop.

Caught General Hu and inquired about the situation in Linfen City, Zhen casually discussed with Yao Yizhong and said: "Qiao Tai is also a general in Huzhong, although there are few generals, if you know that I am coming, I am afraid that Linfen is not as easy to fight as Jiangyi." In this case, it is better for me to personally command an army, take advantage of the night, and go straight to Linfen, or I can kill him by surprise......"

Between the two cities of Linfen and Jiangyi, it is only forty miles away, and the Fenshui is separated by the middle. Zhen Sui said that he was traveling at night, but in fact, he set off in the afternoon and arrived at Fencheng before midnight.

At this time, Qiao Tai was tired and sleeping soundly for days. Before going to bed, he heard that the Jin people had arrived on the south bank of the Hushui River, and he estimated that Jiangyi would not be able to hold it, so the Jin army would come to attack Linfen as early as tomorrow afternoon, so he arranged for the soldiers to rest and wait for the hard battle in the coming day. But he didn't expect Zhen to arrive in the middle of the night, and directly sent a sharp pawn who was good at climbing to help the city with a hook, and instantly killed the defenders and opened the city gate.

Qiao Tai woke up from his dream, he didn't even have time to put on his coat, he carried a knife barefoot, went out to look, and was immediately surrounded by the Jin Corps. He was shocked and angry, his eyes were so angry that his eyes were split, and he fought endlessly with a long knife in his hand, and his momentum was like a mad tiger, and hundreds of Jin troops were difficult to get close. Zhen Sui received the report, rode his horse to see, and when he saw this, he ordered the soldiers to retreat - "This bare-chested thief, what kind of fight...... Like a wild boar in a trap, when it is dying and struggling, its strength is the greatest, and its form is the most ferocious, and it goes up to die in vain - you can call the archer, shoot him a few arrows, and he will be honest. ”

said that he shot him a few arrows, but in fact, a hundred arrows were fired at once, Qiao Tai had no armor on his body, and only one knife in his hand, how could he cover it? Especially in the city, the distance is close, it is easy to get accurate, and the strength of the arrow cluster is enough, and immediately with a miserable scream, it was shot like a porcupine, and fell to the sky.

The Jin soldiers rushed up and cut off the head and offered it to Zhen Sui. Zhen summoned the captured Hu Bing to identify - "Look at Qiao Tai, isn't it?" ”

Qiao Tai has always been generous, and his pawns are willing to die for him - of course, at the time of this great chaos, two generations of emperors have passed away one after another, 40,000 soldiers and horses collapsed in an instant, and the army was demoralized, and there were not a few who gave up resistance directly, and there were not a few who knelt on the ground and begged for surrender - when they saw the head of the main general, they all cried loudly. Zhen Sui said yes, it was indeed Qiao Tai, the pseudo-left chariot general, who immediately ordered the head to be plastered with lime and put it in the box, in order to ask Chang'an for credit.

He carried a charcoal strip on his body, that is, he took it out, held it in his left hand, and made a heavy stroke on the ochre red rank armband on his right arm—there were already four horizontal bars on it to identify Liu Cang, Jin Zhun, Jin Kang and Jin Ming respectively, and now there was one more marked Qiao Tai, that is, five bars.

Zhen Sui twisted his right arm under the firelight, glanced at the five bars on the armband, and couldn't help but be annoyed - I should draw vertically, not horizontally, if I kill another general Hu Jun, it is estimated that there will be no place to mark the sixth road......

——————————

After Pei Gai left Huayin, he crossed the river from the north of Tongguan - that is, the Fenglingdu of later generations - and then passed through Hebei County, crossed the salt pond, went around Wushan, more than 300 miles, and arrived at Anyi for two days and two nights. Li Rong went out of the city to greet him—he had just arrived in Anyi, because Anyi was the county governor of Hedong, so he hurriedly moved the town here—and reported that General Zhen had already gone north to hear the joy, so Pei Gai was in a hurry to hear the joy again.

When he entered Wenxi County, he had to report that Zhen Sui had already captured Linfen and Jiangyi. Pei Gaixin said that this barbarian is fast, I am chasing and catching up, or one step behind - it can be seen that south of Pingyang, it is estimated that it will be difficult to encounter the strong resistance of the Hu army, whether it is a decisive battle with Liu Yao or against Shi Hu, the battlefield will be laid out under the city of Pingyang and in the plains.

To tell the truth, Pei Gai has never been so anxious to run the road in his life, almost all the way to beat the horse and whip, Rao is he has been exercising his muscles and bones every day in recent years, and he still feels that his legs and feet are numb, and when he entered Wenxi County, he was helped down by Pei Xiong from the horse.

Looking at the 2,000 cavalry behind him, seventy percent of them are from Liangzhou, and there are a few people who have descended to Hu, these guys are also like Pei Xiong, they are still energetic and can jump off their horses; Although the rest are also Zhongzhou or Guanzhong athletes, they are much worse than their colleagues, or their faces are flushed, or their faces are gray, and their breath is obviously uneven, and as soon as they get off the horse, they repeatedly stomp their feet, or bend down to pat the inner thighs to evacuate the bones and blood.

The only one born in the Central Plains, who is also quite superb in riding, and who is not under the "Liangzhou Horse", is probably only Xue Ning - Xue Ning's subordinates, and even the general Guo Mo, are mostly shaking.

Of course, the worst mental head has to be regarded as secretary Guo Pu, Guo Jingchun has never suffered such a big crime in his life, but even if he is by Pei Gai's side, he can only grit his teeth and hold on. Pei should have been helped off the horse, while Guo Pu was directly dragged off the horse, and he couldn't stand at all.

Therefore, after Pei Gai entered the city, he ordered a half-day and a night's rest before continuing his journey - otherwise, maybe Guo Jingchun would run to death.

When he was resting at the county office, the remaining army general came to report that General Zhen had captured Pei Shuo and Xue Tao outside the city the day before yesterday, and ordered him to be temporarily detained, so that he could be sent to Chang'an in the future and disposed of by the governor of the capital. Pei Gai was still a little strange, so he asked: "Pei Shuo is still a little strange, even if he captures Xue Tao, with Zhen's temperament, why don't you kill him immediately, and leave it for me?" ”

The general reported: "One of Pei Shuo's words, Xue Tao is also Pei's son-in-law; Second, Pei Shuo asked himself to open the Wenxi City Gate, so as to beg to postpone Xue Tao's death......"

Pei Cai couldn't help but think of the conversation he had with Li Rong not long ago. Because he was in a hurry, he was in Anyi City, but he paused for a moment, Li Rong concisely reported the situation in the county, and when he mentioned the Xue clan in Fenyin, he said: "Xue Ning is really a usable talent, and Duke Ming should help him become the head of the Xue clan." However, the Xue clan is strong, and it grows up in a county because of force, if Xue Ning is valued by the Ming Gong and supported by his father, he may be difficult to control in the future......"

Li Rong was ordered to guard the east of the Mu River, and the main task was to find an opportunity to weaken the big clans in the county, so he didn't dare to take care of the Pei family, and the Xue family was the most difficult to gnaw, but it was also a hard bone that had to be gnawed, so he suggested: "If Duke Ming can capture Xue Tao on the battlefield, don't kill him, please hand it over to the last official, think it is a coercion." ”

Therefore, Pei should hear that Xue Tao was being detained in Wenxi City, and immediately ordered, saying that you should quickly escort this person to Anyi and hand him over to Li Fujun - and it is best not to let him meet Xue Ning. Immediately ordered Pei Shuo to come up, I want to ask this old man, since I know that I am in Chang'an, why don't you want to send someone to contact you?

Pei Shuo was escorted to the county office, pushed and shoved into the inner room, looked fixedly, and sat on a person, looking vaguely like Pei Wei - he had naturally seen Pei Song, but he had never seen Pei Song and Pei Gai brothers - and the sergeant also said that it was the Metropolitan Governor who wanted to see you, so now the Metropolitan Governor of Jin is naturally the Great Sima, Lu Shangshushi, and Pei Gai in the Xingtai Pass. So the old man stood up, crossed his hands, looked Pei Gai up and down, and the more he looked, the more he frowned.

I saw that this well-known Pei Da Sima was actually wearing a beard, and he didn't wear a crown, but only wrapped his head in a scarf. He sat on the couch, leaning on the table, his eyes closed, his legs hanging down from the couch, his trousers rolled high, and his two bare feet probed into a copper basin, and from time to time they crossed each other and rubbed them together......

What does Pei Shuoxin mean by this? Do you deliberately humiliate me with such arrogance? You must know that you are not the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and I am not a good eater!

In fact, Pei Shuo wronged Pei Shou, he really didn't deliberately put up a shelf for anyone to see. The so-called wearing Hufu is actually a military uniform, short clothes and leather pants, narrow sleeves and round necks, which is convenient for horseback riding - since the Zhao Wuling King Hufu rode and shot, the military clothing of the Central Plains Dynasty was mostly made of Hufu as a template; Wrapping without a crown is convenient for people who can immediately put on a helmet when there is an emergency; Closing one's eyes and recuperating is purely mental exhaustion after a long journey; And Pei Gai is not washing his feet, but soaking his feet in hot water to soothe his tense legs.

However, this posture is really not very etiquette, if you meet a normal guest, you can't dress like this, and you still soak your feet and pretend to sleep. The problem is that Pei should not treat Pei Shuo as his own parent, but as a prisoner of the order, so why should I be solemn? Besides, I'm so busy that I have to rest quickly so that I can continue on the journey, and I don't have time to change my clothes just to see you.

Pei Shuo was deeply angry, so he stood upright and did not kneel. Jin Bing pushed from behind and said: "Lao Er is so rude, why don't you worship when you see the governor?" Pei Shuo stiffened and staggered, still refusing to kneel, but said coldly: "He is not a human king, how can there be a reason for a grandfather to salute his grandson first?!" ”

Pei should soak his feet comfortably, his whole body was full of Tai, he was almost about to fall asleep, and he heard the sound of words, so he slowly opened his eyes, and then straightened his waist, and also looked Pei Shuo up and down. Pei Shuo was arrogant against him, with an unyielding look, Pei Gai saw this, but laughed, waved his hand first, signaled the soldiers to retreat, and then said: "Anyone who betrays the Jin, I don't treat them as relatives, then there are only Jin ministers and sinners here, how can there be any ancestors and grandchildren?" ”
