In the autumn and winter of the first year of Jianxing, Tao Kan was defeated by Du Zeng and Wang Gong in the south of the Yangtze River, and Du Tao also took the opportunity to make a comeback, and more than half of the counties in Jing and Hunan fell into the hands of traitors again; And thousands of miles away in Hebei, there is also a big war that broke out in full force.

To say that in today's world, the person Pei Gai pays the most attention to is none other than Shile, he knows that it will be a strong enemy for his life, so he has sent people to travel in makeup many times, following Shi Le's army, and exploring the other party's movements. However, it is very difficult to find people who can go so far to get information, one is that you have to use force, wander alone for hundreds of miles in troubled times, and not be armed by Hu Jun, thieves, landlords and even jackals, tigers and leopards, and second, you must also have a certain understanding of the geography of mountains and rivers, otherwise it is estimated that you can go out, and you can't come back, or you don't know the year of the monkey to return to your hometown......

The first condition is not difficult, Director Wang gave Pei Gai fourteen subordinates, all of whom are strong men who can compete with several people, even if there is no Zhen Sui to fight, ordinary wild dogs and jackals are not afraid, even if they meet tigers, they have a certain chance of escaping their lives. No matter how high the requirements are, it is difficult to find, and there are really such fierce and tenacious people, you don't use it in the army, get caught in the battle, and just send out to find out the news, doesn't it seem too wasteful?

The second condition is difficult, there are really no "senior travelers" in these years, the vast majority of people have never left their homes within a radius of 100 miles for a lifetime, and since they are recommended by Director Wang, most of them are southerners, or people near Langya, and there is no one who is familiar with the geography and customs of Hebei.

In desperation, I had to retreat to the second, just those who were not promoted to generals, and send a few more people out, so that the whole army would not be wiped out. And presumably Shile will live in Hebei for a long time after that, and if he runs there a few more times, he will naturally recognize the road.

Pei's tribe took the letter from the lord and went to Linzhang first to contact Liu Yan, and if he inquired about the news from the north through Liu Yan, it would be more convenient and relatively accurate. Around the time when Tao Kan, Xiong Yuan and others took office, four subordinates were dispatched, and three came back one after another - the remaining one has never been seen again, whether it is dead or alive, no one knows. Pei Gai was depressed, and explained himself and said: It's okay, from now on, it will not be fourteen trilogy, but thirteen, which is exactly the number of "Thirteen Taibao......

Bah, I don't need Zhen Sui's kind of godson!

According to the news from the tribesmen, the history of Hebei is still developing in the original direction - although it is a year late -

It is said that in order to collect grain and grass in order to gain a firm foothold in Handan and Xiangguo, Shi Le unexpectedly fought with Youlun, Zhang Jackal and other local armed forces in Yuanxiang. You, Zhang and others were originally signed by Wang Jun of Youzhou and hurriedly asked Wang Jun for help, so Wang Pengzu sent Wang Chang and Liaoxi Xianbei to join forces with 50,000 troops to go to the crusade.

Shi Le's command claimed to have won 100,000 soldiers, but in fact, he turned to the war in a few years, from Ge Pi to Mount Tai and then to Xiangguo, which was already insufficient, and because of the lack of food and grass, the soldiers were weak, and the war horses were starving to death, the combat effectiveness was completely different from when Pei should still be there - otherwise he would not have given up Santai and would not dare to attack. And Liaoxi Xianbei was originally a strong brigade outside the Saiwai, the long lance cavalry was well-known in the world, and the Hu people were terrified, plus Liaoxi Gong, Da Dan Yu Duan Ji Lu personally led the troops, and also brought his brothers Duan Piyan, Duan Wenyang, and his brother Duan Moqi, the brave generals and soldiers almost poured out of the nest, so as soon as they came into contact, Shi Le ate several defeats in a row.

At that time, Duan Jilu sent his brothers to lead the army to Zhuyang, which was less than ten miles away from Xiangguo, and sent several of his brothers to lead the army to the city, build war equipment, and prepare to attack the city. The city fortifications of Xiangguo are not yet complete, and it will be difficult to stop the Xianbei soldiers in Liaoxi, and the people in the army are panicking, saying that we should not come to Hebei...... Who gave Ming Gong the idea? Cheng Ziyuan? He should kill himself to thank the whole army!

Cheng Yao panicked, so he had to run to Zhang Bin for advice. Zhang Bin couldn't help but twist his beard and smile, and said in his heart I originally planned to suggest that Ming Gong come here, but you took the lead, but I dare to come and naturally rely on it, you almost don't know about military affairs, so you can just copy Pei Cai's words, now you know that you are afraid, right?

Shi Le summoned the generals to discuss, and finally Zhang Bin offered a strategy to break the enemy - plus a cunning Kong Chang, who also helped refine the plan by the side. So Shi Leyan rushed to repair twenty protruding gates in the north of the city, and then pretended not to dare to go out of the city to fight, but to stick to the city to paralyze the Xianbei army outside the city. A few days later, the Xianbei army first attacked the camp in the north of Xiangguo City, and it took most of the day to conquer it. On the evening of the same day, Shi Le led his army to the city and raised his voice to attract the attention of the Xianbei people, but secretly sent Kong Chang to lead an elite thousand people to sneak out of the gate and attack the north base. The Xianbei army was caught off guard and collapsed immediately, and Duan Moqi was captured alive.

Duan Mochu's department is the elite of Xianbei in Liaoxi, so Shi Le has to pick him to fight first - as long as Duan Mochu is defeated, the enemy army will inevitably be bold. Moreover, Duan Mozhu is brave and unscrupulous, but he is not Duan Jilu's own brother, Duan Piyan, Duan Wenyang and others are deeply jealous, so he will personally protrude his subordinates and stand out from the rest of the armies. In this section, the end of the attack was attacked, and he didn't have time to come to the rescue, but he was in chaos, and was pursued by Shi Leqin's army with victory, and rushed to the vicinity of Zhuyang.

Soon after the troops returned, Duan Jilu's envoy arrived, saying that he was willing to negotiate peace and withdraw from the army, and only asked for the release of Duan Moqi. Cheng Yao and others said that Duan Moqi was the bravest of Xianbei, how could he let it go? It's still a knife or two sections, and you can never suffer in the future. Zhang Bin said that he couldn't do it, if he really wanted to do this, we would have a deep enmity with the Xianbei people, so it was better to release Duan Moqi to separate Wang Jun and Duan Ji Lu.

Shi Le finally adopted Zhang Bin's suggestion, and used the release of Duan Moqi as a bargaining chip, asking for an alliance with Duan Jilu's family, and swearing not to attack each other again. Because Shi Le had dealt with Duan Ji Lu's father, Duan Wu Bechen, and was commensurate with each other, he sent his nephew Shi Hu to meet Duan Ji Lu's family in Zhuyang, and kowtowed to his brother.

Liaoxi Xianbei retreated, and Wang Chang naturally couldn't stay still, and returned to Youzhou in a huff. You Lun and Zhang Jackal were forced to surrender, and they were both signed as generals by Shi Le; Shi Le also sent Zhixiong to lead an army into Anping and killed Wang Xiang, the assassin of Jizhou, who was signed by Wang Jun. Wang Jun changed to Shao Ju, a native of Anyang, Wei County, to temporarily replace the history of Jizhou, and stick to the capital of Anping to govern Xindu.

After Shao Ju was instructed, he asked Wang Jun and said: "The thieves are so powerful that even the Xianbei of Liaoxi has been defeated by them, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to keep my faith for a long time." I specially recommend one person to Ming Gong, and ask him to be Leling's Taishou, and he is at the same level as Anping, so that it is convenient to help - otherwise, I will never dare to go to the post. ”

Wang Junyi frowned: "Recommended by Qing, I don't know who it is?" ”

Shao Ju said: "It is a nephew, the son of Shao Jisheng, the brother of the scattered cavalry, the name continues, the ancestor of the word, once served as the king of Chengdu and the subordinate of Gou Dao to join the army, and then the Qinshui County Order, Yongjiazhong resigned and returned to his hometown......"

Wang Jun nodded: "This is easy to do, since he is a nephew, if he is my nephew, I will send someone to summon him." ”

——————————

When the news reached Huaiyin, it was already the second year, and the spring flowers were blooming, and it was the time for sowing. Pei should have gathered the information and took it to discuss with Bian Yan, who frowned and said, "In this way, the thief has gained a firm foothold in Hebei, and ...... Wang Youzhou and Liaoxi Xianbei will be in conflict, I am afraid that it will be difficult to reconcile again, and send troops to suppress it. ”

Pei Gai smiled: "It's just a disgrace, I expect that Wang Pengzu hates Duan Ji and Lu Dependent, and he will definitely send generals to attack." ”

"Liaoxi Xianbei, the world's strongest soldiers, it is said that there are no less than forty or fifty thousand cavalry, with the power of Wang Youzhou, I'm afraid it's not enough to be an enemy, right?"

"Wang Pengzu is not a general," Pei should come closer and said in a low voice, "but he is used to razing against raze, and I expect him to ask for foreign help." ”

"What about foreign aid?"

"The Xianbei departments, although they are of the same species, are actually full of contradictions, there are Tuoba Yilu in the Daidi, and there is Murong Diao in northern Liao, if you can say that these two departments can help each other, Wang Pengzu will dare to use troops in western Liaoning."

Bian Yan frowned, and pondered for a long time before he said: "The Xianbei tribes have always been committed to our dynasty and are the strong reinforcements of my north. In the past, the land made peace with Liu and Zhou, and Liaoxi made peace with Wang Youzhou, but Liu and Wang Ergong were not harmonious, and it was difficult to go out of the two ways, so Hu Lu sat big. If Wang Youzhou abandons Liaoxi and recruits the Tuoba of the land, I am afraid that the second prince will break one arm...... This is not a blessing for the country. ”

Pei Gai sighed softly: "The situation is like this, if the well-dressed Chinese clan can work together, why not be afraid of Hulu, and there is no need to introduce Xianbei as foreign aid......" Then the corners of his mouth twitched: "And I expect that the generation will come from afar, Murong is weak, and none of them are Duan's opponents, I am afraid that they will return with a feather - from now on, Wang Pengzu will be weak, and the thief will definitely sit big." Bian Jun, I am afraid that the future enemy of the country is not Hu Lu, but a thief, and the harm of the thief must be above Hu Lu! ”

When Bian Yan heard this, he couldn't help but gasp, and then smiled reluctantly: "Why is this, so that you don't be alarmist." ”

Pei should say, how about we make a bet? He said in his heart that the news that he got through the battle of Hebei is basically not much different from the original history, so it can be seen that the wings of my little butterfly are not so far; In this case, in the future, Murong and Tuoba attacked Liaoxi together, but they were defeated by Duan Ji and Lu Dependents, and Wang Jun could only be forced to fight by Shi Le...... I believe that this prospect will not change much. I'll say a few words vaguely first, and when it really comes true, you can't be surprised that I'm a celestial, do you still want to run away?

Bian Yan waved his hand: "I don't bet with the envoy." Then he changed the topic: "However, Xi Daohui has to get rid of the difficulty, but it is good news, should Mrs. Xi be notified immediately?" ”

The spies also brought back the news of Xi Jian, saying that since he was captured by Shi Le in Yishan, he resolutely refused to surrender, and Shi Le did not accept the lesson after suffering a loss, and he was so hospitable, just like he was reluctant to kill Pei Gai at the beginning, and he was reluctant to kill Xi Jian. But think about it, if you have the ambition of the world, you must recruit the Central Plains scholars, as soon as you see each other, you want to recruit, and you can't kill you casually, if you really convince such a person with water mill kung fu, it will be beneficial to your reputation if you spread it.

When Shi Le occupied Xiangguo and sent an envoy to make peace with Liu Yan, Liu Yan put forward a condition, saying that I heard that Duke Xi was in your army, and if you send him over, I promised not to invade each other. In this way, Xi Jian was released to Linzhang, and Liu Yanbai was the military secretary, and he obeyed his words.

Pei Gai nodded: "Inform Mrs. Xi properly to make her feel at ease." He originally wanted to send Mrs. Xi to Jiangdong, but the other party said that he wanted to stay in Huaiyin, no matter whether her husband lived or died, the distance was closer. Pei Cai pondered that many of the homeless people under his command had escaped from the mountain, and they were also deeply respectful of Xi Jian, as long as he held Mrs. Xi's mother and son in his hands, these homeless people would have to turn their loyalty to themselves......

After talking about this matter, Pei Gai discussed with Bian Yan, saying that you are now a genuine Guangling Taishou, and I will hand over the affairs of this county, except for the Tunken people, to you to manage, just in the spring sowing period, I hope to be able to miss the agricultural time. Bian Yan arched his hand and said: "You should serve your life wholeheartedly." Pei Cai nodded, and then said: "I want to leave Huaiyin for a while and go to Xiapi and Pengcheng to inspect it." ”

Bian Yan smiled: "The envoy is not worried about Tao and Xiong, right?" ”
