Chapter 357: Wooing the Pei Family
Regarding Pei Yuanqing's choice, Pei Renji did not mean to interfere.
Bae In-ki respects Bae Yuanqing's ideas, but also has a deeper purpose. Now that he has rebelled out of the imperial court, it is natural that he can no longer look forward and backward.
Now he led the soldiers and horses to Wagangzhai, but it is unknown whether this Wagangzhai will be able to survive to the end and keep their Pei family. At this time, it is obviously unreliable to put all your eggs in one basket.
Compared with Wagangzhai, Yanyun is undoubtedly a good backer, if Pei Yuanqing follows Luo Cheng and can have a future, Pei Renji is naturally happy to see it.
In fact, in Jindi Pass, Pei Yuanqing had already told him about Luo Cheng. At that time, Pei Yuanqing didn't know Luo Cheng's identity, but he just said that there was one person who was very powerful, and there was another general under that person......
These two of them were able to easily beat Pei Yuanqing, which made Pei Renji a little surprised. It's not that he is biased because Pei Yuanqing is his son, after all, Pei Yuanqing's strength is here, it is really powerful!
Yuwen Chengdu is known as the world's number one fierce general, and he was not injured by his son. Although Yuwen Chengdu is slightly better, it is almost the same, and Pei Yuanqing is only twelve years old this year.
But now someone suddenly told him that Pei Yuanqing was nothing, and he was easily hammered one after another? Pei Renji naturally couldn't believe it, and he still had some doubts.
But Pei Renji now believes that this person is Luo Cheng, Luo Cheng, the son of the king of Beiping, who was quite famous a few years ago. This son is as famous as Yuwen Chengdu, and now it seems to be stronger than Yuwen Chengdu.
Luo Cheng is so strong, doesn't it show that Yan Yun is strong?
Therefore, this is a good opportunity, and Pei Renji doesn't mind letting Pei Yuanqing try it. If you can succeed, it is naturally the best, if there is an accident, no one is to blame.
Coming from Daxing to Wagangzhai, Pei Renji saw many people displaced. How could he not know the current situation, the Great Sui is no longer the Great Sui, since Yang Guang's father ascended the throne, it has changed.
The world is in turmoil so far, is there really the power to return to heaven?
If Yang Guang can gather the strength of everyone to suppress many anti-thieves, then there is still a glimmer of hope. But what is the reality now, traitors like Zhang Dabin emerge in an endless stream, how can these generals do their best?
Now that he has arrived in Wagangzhai, Pei Renji has nothing to say. If he comes, he will be safe, and he doesn't want to have anything to do with the imperial court. If one day, you can still see the peaceful and prosperous world, it will not be in vain.
Pei Renji's mind was naturally not just thinking, he swept his eyes slightly, and said to Cheng Jin: "Your Majesty, now that Weichen has returned to Wagang, he has severed relations with the imperial court."
"Weichen was originally the chief soldier of Shanmaguan, and he was recruited into Daxing by the faint monarch and led an army of 100,000 to come here. And in Shanma Pass, there are still nephews and family members of Weichen, who can be summoned by letter. ”
Pei Renji said sincerely, but the incident happened suddenly, and Cheng Yanjin was inevitably a little surprised. But sitting in this position for more than a year, Cheng Biting Jin's temperament is naturally different.
So Cheng Yanjin waved his hand and said: "Marshal Pei is really sincere in surrendering, now the court is mediocre and incompetent, and there are not a few anti-thieves and villains, it is time to summon the virtuous nephew to fight against the tyranny of the faint monarch."
Cheng Yanjin said righteously, and everyone was a little embarrassed. After all, the reason for their rebellion is actually very simple, just to save Cheng Biting Jin, how can there be so much nonsense?
Pei Renji was about to give up his hand to answer, when he suddenly saw Xu Maogong walk out of the ranks of ministers and whispered to Cheng Yanjin. The two went to the back of the temple together, not knowing what they were discussing.
Behind the palace, Cheng Yanjin and Xu Maogong were standing, and Cheng Yanjin asked with curiosity on his face: "Brother Wang asked me to come here to discuss something important?" If not, I'll go back first. ”
After speaking, Cheng Biting Jin turned around and wanted to leave, Xu Maogong couldn't cry or laugh, he had to say in a deep voice: "Although this Pei Renji is only the chief soldier of Shanmaguan, he is a veteran of the Sui Dynasty, and Your Majesty must not despise him."
After listening to Xu Maogong's words, Cheng Yanjin nodded indifferently, not that he looked down on Pei Renji, but that he was so temperamental, he was tired of doing things, and he didn't want to pay too much attention to it.
Xu Maogong obviously knew Cheng Biting Jin's character, so he was not annoyed by this, he said indifferently: "Other things, presumably Your Majesty doesn't pay much attention to them, but does Your Majesty know how many people are in Shanma Pass?"
Cheng Yanjin was stunned for a moment, looking a little puzzled, how did he know how many people there were in Shanma Pass? But now he knows a little about how many people there are in Wagangzhai.
Originally, at the beginning, Wagangzhai was only tens of thousands of people, and then Qiu Rui surrendered, and it became more than 100,000. Now that the father and son of the Pei family have surrendered with their troops, there should have been more than 200,000 people!
Seeing Cheng Yanjin's suspicious look, the corners of Xu Maogong's rather playful mouth rose slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "As far as Weichen knows, there are at least 200,000 horses in that mountain horse pass."
Cheng Yanjin was stunned when he heard this, and said with some confusion: "How can there be so many people in the mountain horse pass?" Also, haven't you been in Wagangzhai all the time, and how do you know that? ”
Xu Maogong smiled and said nonchalantly: "These things, don't you know if you send someone to check them a little?" Whoever makes His Majesty not care about these things on weekdays, naturally he doesn't know. ”
When Xu Maogong said this, Cheng Yanjin suddenly smiled a little embarrassed, and he complained helplessly: "It's not that the military advisor wants me to be the demon king of this mixed world, although my life is leisurely, it is also very boring."
"Now that I stay in Wagangzhai every day, how can I have a comfortable day of robbery in the past? I think back then, I also robbed the backer Yang Lin. Cheng Yanjin said very remembrance.
Xu Maogong couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly, over the years, Cheng Yanjin's skin has become thicker and thicker. He forgot the reason for their rebellion back then? If it weren't for Cheng Biting Jin rashly robbing the backer king, they would also be able to enjoy Qingfu.
Xu Maogong didn't want to say much about the past, he looked directly at Cheng Yanjin, and said loudly: "If Your Majesty wants to win over the Pei family's father and son, you can't be like now, you must be rewarded heavily, so ......"
Xu Maogong directly explained the specific matter, Cheng Yanjin suddenly realized, he nodded and agreed: "It turns out that it's just these, the military advisor doesn't have to worry, I naturally have no problem."
Seeing that Cheng had already responded to the matter, Xu Maogong thought about it for a while, and said to him again: "This is just the first thing, Weichen has a more important thing to report to Your Majesty."
Xu Maogong's expression was meaningful, which made Cheng Yanjin unpredictable, and he asked puzzledly: "If there is anything wrong with the military advisor, just say it directly, don't be such a mother-in-law."
