Chapter 39, the old man has a knife

The archers arranged by Liu Yetang all had their own targets, so as soon as Chen Fen moved, only a few people trembled and fired - in fact, they shouldn't shoot, the chief hasn't given an order yet-the rest are still aiming at others, it is impossible to turn around and aim at Chen Fen in a breath or two, and the hall is not very big, so Chen Fen invaded in front of him in two or three steps. β—’ with * dream β—’ small *.lā

Where several cases fell, an archer was immediately knocked to the ground. If those Dock Fort owners were more organized, not afraid of death, and took advantage of this opportunity to launch together, it is estimated that Pei Gai's plan would be completely turned into water, and it might cause great turmoil; Fortunately, the change was in a hurry, and everyone was the only one who looked forward to Chen Fen, although Chen Fen moved, their reaction was several beats slower, and only two people followed suit in time and set up a few cases in front of them. But when he was protecting his front and couldn't protect his back, he heard someone behind him shouting: "If you dare to act rashly, you will shoot arrows!" ”

Chen Fen knocked down an archer in a few cases, and the left and right archers instinctively dodged sideways, and showed Pei Cai. Pei should be pondering, I turned around and ran to guess it was too late, should I just use a bamboo cane to whip him, or quickly pull out the knife? Suddenly, I heard a loud shout, and a person jumped out behind him, shouting: "Hugh is presumptuous, if you can take my three punches with your bare hands, please let you go!" ”

Chen Fencai was about to swing a few cases and smash them at Pei Gai, when he saw a rough and ugly face suddenly appear in front of him. He couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and heard Pei Gai say, "I promised you." His mind turned quickly, and he immediately threw down a few cases: "Okay, I'll take your three punches." ”

If you really overturn the history of assassination, this revenge can no longer be resolved, and once Zu Ti returns to the army, he will have to fight a vicious battle. The other side has 2,000 soldiers, and if he doesn't care about the life and death of the assassin and fights desperatelyβ€”doesn't it mean that he and Pei Tingshi are not on good termsβ€”even if his own dock fort wins, he will suffer heavy losses. Since someone has spoken, and the Assassin has agreed, let me believe him againβ€”as for the other Dock Castle Lords, I don't care about them. In Chen Fen's mind, Lao Tzu is not defeated by others in his life, no matter how powerful you are, you can still defeat me in three moves?

The one who came to protect Pei Gai was naturally Zhen Sui. Pei Gai also knew that this trip was a bit risky, and the key was that the dock castle owners were all able to fight, at least it would not be a problem to clean up themselves, so he ordered Zhen to follow him to protect him. Zhen Sui was hiding behind the screen before, and he was only two steps away from Pei Gai, and when the archer appeared, he naturally jumped out, but because there were too many people in front of him, Chen Fen didn't notice that there was such a person behind the assassin.

The two immediately started a fight in this small area. Chen Fen's fists were one after the other, first to take the defensive position, and he saw that the opponent's posture was the same as his own, his eyes were blazing, if there was a firelight spraying out, he shouted: "First punch, please take it!" ”

Chen Fen carefully observed the opponent's shoulders and pupils, if he wanted to punch, his shoulders would inevitably move first, and if he wanted to attack any part of his head, face, chest and abdomen, his eyes would inevitably glance over first - he was also considered to have experienced a hundred battles, so he naturally understood the principles of boxing.

However, the word "please accept" had just come out, the other party's shoulders did not move, but his body suddenly became shorter, it turned out that his waist collapsed, his body fell down, his arms drooped, and he lay on the ground, and then he supported the ground with both hands, and flew his legs up with "whew". This hand was beyond Chen Fen's expectations, and as soon as he was in a trance, he felt that his lower body was rising, and his eyes were black - it turned out that Zhen Sui got up and kicked his crotch just right, and with the strength of twisting his waist on the ground, the kick was quite heavy......

Chen Fen's eyes turned black, and he couldn't help but bow down, and then he received another heavy punch in his face, and immediately collapsed to the ground.

Zhen Sui straightened his waist, raised his leg to step on Chen Fen's neck, and sneered: "The birdman who is not wearing armor is not the opponent of the master!" ”

Since Chen Fen was put down, the rest of the dock castle owners were all frightened, and under the direct pointing of the bow and arrow, they had no choice but to be captured. Pei Gai didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he saw that they were all tied up and tied into zongzi, and turned his head to ask Zhen Sui: "If you can't take this person with three punches, what will you do?" ”

Saying "three punches" in his mouth is actually flying a leg...... It's not a fighting match after all, so it doesn't matter – who makes the other person stupid and unprepared? Just now Zhen Sui jumped out to relieve the siege, Pei should look at the few cases in Chen Fen's hands and see that they were about to fall, and said without thinking: "Agree to you." Thinking about it at the moment, I can't help but be a little scared - are you really that confident?

Who wants Zhen to grin with a big mouth, stretch out his hand and pat his waist: "If you can't take it, you can't take it, and the master doesn't have no knife!" ”

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Pei ordered the lord of the dock fort - of course, including the young man who was "forked out" from the beginning - all tied up strongly, threw them in the courtyard, and ordered the soldiers to guard them.

Almost all of these soldiers are homeless people recruited from the banks of the Yangtze River, or Ding Zhuang from Guangling, Gaoyou and other counties in the south, and they will not secretly communicate with the lord of the dock fort in this county, and indulge in private release - the soldiers of this county, Pei should be handed over to Zu Ti to take away. It is estimated that at this time, Zu Ti is being reorganized in the territory of Pengcheng State, and in another three or five days, he should step into the boundary of Yanzhou, and even if the soldiers of the county under his command run away, they may not be able to return safely, and even if they return, they will not come back to the county seat, and they will definitely return to their own families.

But for the sake of safety, Pei Gai still ordered that all the dock castle masters be silenced, so that they would not talk to each other.

Pei Gai was in the hall and summoned four camp governors: Liu Yetang, Gao Le, Zhen Sui and Lu Yan, and then he put his plan together, saying that your next step is to tie up these dock fort masters, go to open the gates of each dock fort, collect their Ding Zhuang, loot their storage, and finally leave someone for me to pick up all the walls of the dock fort. As for the old and weak, women and children, who are willing to stay in their native land and farm, whatever they want, and feel afraid because they have nothing to rely on, they are all lured to the cantonment landβ€”in fact, it cannot be regarded as a deception, and the more than 10,000 people in that place must be safer than the area without the protection of the dock fort.

Stretched out his hand and pointed: "You are divided into two teams, Yetang and Lu Yan lead the second battalion to Huaisiwu - there are many people there, and they must be rushed, and they must be taken effectively." Gao Le led a battalion to the east, starting from Hanxiwu, and plundered the past. Remember what I said, you are soldiers, not bandits, and you are not allowed to kill or wound the people at will, but if anyone dares to disobey, you can also cut off a few heads to establish your authority. The first thing I want is the people, the second is the grain and materials, and the third is the land, as long as I succeed, I don't have to tie my hands and feet. ”

Everyone received the order, but Zhen Sui shouted: "Then where will the master lead the troops?" ”

Pei Cai glared at him: "Do you want to put an empty city and take it from people?" Naturally, thou shalt stay and defend the city. ”

Zhen shook his head again and again: "What's the point of defending the city?" The master only needs to fight...... No, looting...... Anyway, I'm really depressed in the city, and I ask the Governor to exchange me with someone elseβ€”I just saved the Governor's life and made a meritorious service, so please reward me for going on the expedition! ”

Pei Gai glanced at Zhen Sui obliquely, and said in his heart that this rough embryo was full of shortcomings, but he didn't expect to find a new one today, that is: arrogant and arrogant, and coerced to ...... In fact, among the four battalion governors, he was more assured that Liu Yetang - Zu Ti said that this person was available - and Gao Le - had been a thief before, and this kind of dock breaking and looting must be very familiar - as for Lu Yan, he was a general in the file, and he had to continue to observe and test what he could do. What about Zhen Sui? Today's events have proved that he is a qualified bodyguard, but he may not be a qualified general and commander of military operations.

But if you think about it carefully, Zhen Sui and Lu Yan are half a catty and eight taels, all of them may not be reliable, but compared with the two, Zhen Suixin has a big temper, and if he doesn't often appease, he is afraid of being dissatisfied; Lu Yan looks much more honest, even if he doesn't send him out this time, he may not have any complaints. So he scolded Zhen Sui and said: "If you change the 'master's habit, I will order you to go." ”

Zhen Sui's face twitched: "This ...... Well, old ...... I'll try to fix it. ”

Pei Cainai ordered Lu Yan to stay behind and let Zhen follow Liu Yetang, and as expected, Lu Yan bowed down to receive the order, without any resentment.

When all the generals went down, Pei Gai took a long breath, sat on a few cases, and with a "bang", he arched the pocket that was originally placed on the case. All arrangements have been decided, and as for whether it will work out or not, it depends on the will of God and the impromptu response of those guys. Pei Cai's only concern is Huaisiwu Fort, but thousands of people have been arranged, so it shouldn't be a big problem. Even if the rest of the dock forts can't be taken down for a while, since their owners have been captured, they will inevitably be disheartened, even if they attack one by one, it will take a little more time and kill a few more people.

As soon as his heart relaxed, he felt that the iron armor on his body was extremely heavy, and his shoulders and waist were faintly sore, and he hurriedly shouted: "Come on, help me remove my armor!" ”

Two servants hurriedly ran over - not Pei Du and Pei Lian, Pei should have assigned those two soldiers and horses to other uses. Since he entered Huaiyin City, he has been assassinating in history, and naturally he can't only have two house slaves around him to serve - not to mention anything else, and the two of them are not necessarily stable in carrying public opinion - so he bought seven more servants to serve. However, among the descendants of later generations, there are really no names available, and he is too lazy to bother, so he simply gave these latecomers code names - from Pei Jia to Pei Geng, in the name of Tiangan, and there will be more in the future, ten Tiangan is not enough, and you can also follow the twelve earthly branches.

However, the first place of the earth branch is estimated to be unable to make ...... Peizi?

It was Pei Ji and Pei Geng who came to help Pei Gai untie the saber at his waist and remove the armor on his body. This set of armor was given to him by Zu Ti, and he spent a little effort to adjust and transform it, the protection is quite strong, and the weight is also considerable, weighing fifty-eight kilograms - it will be a full thirteen kilograms in the next generation!

Just changed into official clothes and ordered someone to clean up the hall, suddenly, a subordinate ran in quickly, and reported to Pei Gai: "Bian Beijia took his family and servants and left the mansion to go to the south of the city, do you want to go out of the city?" As he spoke, he handed over a piece of paper: "There is also a book, so that you can read it." ”

Pei Gai was taken aback when he heard this, and quickly took the letter, unfolded it and looked at it twice, and couldn't help but sigh: "Bian Wangzhi is gone!" ”

For Pei Gai's "Hongmen Banquet", Bian Yan showed an unprecedentedly fierce opposition attitude, because he felt that those Wubao lords built forts to defend against invaders in troubled times, which was meritorious to the people, although if the power was large, it would inevitably threaten the rule of the government, but you can slowly weaken it, why do you have to do such a ruthless method? Especially Pei Gai has been instigating the owners of Wubao to invade the fields, and when the other party is no longer defended, and then he will use tricks to plot against him, in Bian Yan's opinion, this is not only a gentleman, it is just the same as what a thief does!

Are you really the son of a famous family, not like Gao Le, who has also been a thief? Or did you say that for most of the half year in the Hu camp, you were contaminated with Hu Lu's gangsterism?!

In fact, Pei Gai and Bian Yi, many ideas are naturally incompatible - Pei Gai is from the insight of two thousand years later, if his concept can really be the same as that of the scholars of this year, then there will be ghosts - so at this time, there is a discord. However, Bian Yan still takes care of the overall situation, and only puts forward opinions in private, although the attitude is more intense each time, but it will not really tear his face, and he will not let others see the joke. In Pei Cai's mind, if he set up a "Hongmen Banquet" in Huaiyin County as soon as he arrived, it is estimated that Bian Yan will oppose it, but he will not leave, this has been separated for so long, the contradictions between the two have accumulated day by day, and finally this conflict has become the last straw that crushes the camel - Bian Wangzhi is to hang a crown and leave a book, and he will go away.

Good thing I found it early! Because Pei Gai deliberately kept an eye on Bian Yan after a quarrel with Bian Yan a few days ago, and sent his subordinates to quietly monitor the Bian family, he didn't expect Bian Yan to run away at that time, but he was worried that the other party would be angry for a while, and he would inadvertently reveal his plan, if it was eavesdropped by the dock castle owners, it would be a big trouble. So before Bian Yan left the city, his book was handed to Pei Gai.

Pei Gai immediately ordered: "Prepare the horse!" Then he got out of the county office, stepped on his mount, whipped his horse, and went straight to the south gate of Huaiyin. Even the subordinates who ran to report before, several servants chased after them, and they ran out of breath, but they lost their lords before they reached the south gate...... Pei Gai had never been so eager to gallop before.

Because he knows that he is not only in military affairs, but also in government affairs. In his previous life, he was just a small civil servant, and in this life, it is estimated that he will be a townsman, and he may not really have any experience close to the people; Pei in this world should be the son of Guijie, so naturally he doesn't know about the county affairs. He was able to implement his plan step by step, all relying on Bian Wangzhi, the big housekeeper, to take care of the county affairs in an orderly manner, so that he could have no worries. And Bian Yan is not a person - even if he has three heads and six arms, he is more laborious than Zhuge Liang, he can't manage a county town by himself - there are also several small officials recruited in Guangling by his side. Now that Bian Yan has run away, it is estimated that those little officials will not stay for long, so even if Pei should gather all the manpower and material resources of the county into his hands, how should he manage it? Relying on Zhou Zhu and a few others is definitely not enough......

That's why he wanted to chase, in a hurry, if Xiao He chased Han Xin under the moon, he finally managed to find a Bian Wangzhi arm - Zhou Zhu, Wei Xun and others were just minions to death - they must not be easily let him slip away!

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

A few servants snorted and gasped, and finally ran to the south gate, and when they looked around, they saw the figure of the lord, and immediately called the guards and asked them if they had ever seen the envoy. The gatekeeper replied: "At the first moment, Bian Bei drove the old and the young to go out of the city, and even if the king arrived, he asked about the other driving, and then hurriedly beat his horse to chase ......."

From the people nodded, they waited to catch up again, suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves behind them, and then rode close to the south gate. The knight was also one of the fourteen tribes that Pei Gai brought from Jiangdong, and they naturally knew each other, so they saw the latecomer raise their hands and hurriedly asked, "Has the envoy already gone out of the city?" ”

"Hurry up and take the horse with me, and I'll go after the envoy!"

"I can't help you!" Immediately, the subordinated voice lowered and said, "I was about to go to report to the envoy - something happened, countless homeless people have come to the north bank of Huaishui, and they have already begun to look for boats to cross!" ”
