Pei should have investigated the truth, Liu Yao's main force is in the north of Hedong County, so it is very likely that he will cross from Xiayang to the west, or go north to pick Sangjin to pick Sangjin, if he takes Xiayangdu, he is afraid that Gao Le will not have time to withdraw, and there will be danger.

Further south, Pujindu, was originally guarded by Lu Yan's "Pengshan Middle Battalion" stationed in Yang, because it was closer to Dali, Lu Yan received the military order early, he calmly emptied the Yangfu treasury according to Pei Gai's instructions, and also brought more than 700 households in the county who were willing to follow south to avoid Hu also received Dali. Pei Gai had just praised Lu Yan for what he did, and he heard Gao Le's defeat report, compared with the two, the difference between high and low is too obvious!

It is difficult for Gao Le to conceal the report of defeat, because most of the Sima in each battalion were personally appointed by Pei Gai, and they were all people who could read and write words, otherwise it would be difficult to calculate their merits, and they could not interfere in military affairs, but they could directly report to Pei Gai about the situation in the army. The report of Sima of the "Wulin Middle Battalion" was sent to Pei Cai's desk half a day earlier than Gao Le himself, and it was clearly written: When Hu Jun crossed the river, Gao Du was still feasting and drinking in the county seat, and then after receiving the order to retreat, he only left a hundred people behind the palace, and he ran faster than anyone else......

Pei Caixin said that this is really mud that can't support the wall, thinking that when he was killed by Qu Liu to Huaiyin City, Gao Le had a history of cowering and not saving, and was ridiculed by Zhen Sui for several years. I thought he could be ashamed and brave, but I didn't expect it...... How can it be tolerated and tolerated any longer? That's why he gave the order and ordered Gao Le to report the door and enter.

When Gao Le heard this, he knew that the situation was not good, so he had to force himself to suppress the panic in his chest and sign up honestly: "'Wulin Battalion' Governor Gao Le met with the governor." "Bow down, keep your posture as low as possible, and arch your hands in. To tell the truth, with his background and status, he should have been this virtuous when he saw Pei Cai, but Pei Cai has always been generous, and he doesn't seem to judge the level by his background, so the Xuzhou generals were a little pampered and arrogant before.

Pei should punish his subordinates, not just once, but for the battalion governor level, he has never been too harsh, even if "you know the guilt", often when he said this, his expression was only serious, and he didn't see much annoyance, and the later words were often to atone the credit. But Gao Le is not stupid, he knows that he has made a big mistake this time, and ...... Since the beginning of the year, it seems that there is no credit to be compensated......

After entering the lobby of the government office, he honestly knelt in front of Pei's case, although he knelt and sat in the clouds, there was still an essential difference between kneeling and sitting: the body collapsed, the buttocks were next to the feet, and the center of gravity was on the legs and feet, which was sitting; Lean forward, keep your back straight, your hips raised high, and your weight on your calves and knees.

Pei Gai glanced at Gao Le coldly, and his voice was unheard of, although it was still the same sentence: "Do you know the guilt?" But there is obviously a world of difference from when Xiong Yizhi, Lu He, and Guo Mo were questioned that day, and then when they asked Guo Mo. Gao Le hurriedly bowed his head and replied honestly: "The last general will be convicted...... Unexpectedly, Hu Kou crossed the river so urgently, and failed to block it, but was defeated......"

Pei Gai raised his eyebrows, interrupted his words, and scolded: "In this way, you don't know the sin yet!" Hu Kou crosses the river slowly, and the judgment is mine, if it is difficult to block the ferry, the fault is mine, not you. However, when Hu Kou crossed, you were not in Jindu, and you had the order to retreat, regardless of the casualties of the sergeants, you took the lead in escaping, and the real crime was unforgivable! ”

Gao Le couldn't help but defend: "I didn't expect Hu Kou to come so quickly, and the last general invited the gentry in Xiayang City to feast on the gentry, also to protect the safety of the place...... As for the rush to leave, there is an endless stream of Hu Kou, and the brigade is about to cross the river, if it is late, I am afraid that the whole division will be destroyed......"

Pei Gai slapped the table: "Is there a conflict between entertaining the gentry and protecting Jindu?" Knowing that Hu Kou had the intention of committing an offense, why did he set up a banquet at this time? And if you break and flee in front of the enemy, aren't you afraid that the whole division will be wiped out?! When people are in danger, they may be at a loss, make mistakes repeatedly, and wait to reflect on fashion and quibble, but your heart is broken, and you can't do it, and you really don't dare to take responsibility! ”

The words "your heart is broken" really scared Gao Le. He was a foolish outcast, even under the command of Zu Li, he was just running and driving, waiting for him to be a slave, and when he arrived in Xuzhou, he suddenly took over the military power, eating and drinking spicy food...... Although Pei Gai preached the unity of generals and soldiers, and earnestly warned the generals not to be extravagant and corrupt, but as a general of an army, the worship is naturally different from the small soldiers, if they are abandoned and directly hit back to the prototype, then who can stand it? Gao Le didn't dare to take advantage of his tongue anymore, and he knew that he couldn't argue, so the governor had to bow his head again and confess his guilt: "Please also ask the governor to spare my life for the sake of Gao's many years of service, no merit and hard work......"

Of course, he knew that his sin would not lead to death, and if Pei should want to use the knife, not only his colleagues would be sad, but they would also persuade Zhen Sui to go to the Xuzhou army first. At the moment of life and death, no one is willing to be killed, right?

In the end, Pei Gai decided to escort Gao Le to the front of the gate, and scolded twenty people with a cane to tell the truth that Pei Gai's soul came from the later generations, and he was really not used to corporal punishment, but since the generals, he found that the treatment of the people who were generally ignorant in these years was often easy to fear power and not easy to be virtuous, and corporal punishment was the most effective, so although the punishment of corporal punishment was reduced in the military law, he really did not dare to completely abolish it.

At the same time, he was dismissed from the post of governor of Gaole's "martial arts battalion" and demoted to the left deputy governor, and Lu He replaced him. Lu He, who had just come in with Gao Le, was shocked when he heard the words, and hurriedly waved his hand to excuse himself, saying that it was difficult for him to take this position regardless of experience, resume and age, "If the governor is determined to depose the high governor, then he should be succeeded by Brother Xiong. ”

In fact, in the original battle of Gutter Water, after carefully inquiring and studying the battle situation, Pei Gai realized that Lu He's loyalty and courage were even higher than Xiong Yizhi, and he had already intended to be promoted, but there was no suitable opportunity. Now he just took this opportunity to hold Lu He up, and when he heard the words, he said: "Xiong Yi returned to Xuzhou before, and he has not yet arrived, so Qing can temporarily succeed the position of camp governor, and when Xiong Yi comes the next day, he will do the district." ”

Since he said so, Lu He couldn't shirk anymore, so he had to bow down and accept the order. This kid was born in Orion, he is used to going alone, and he is not skilled in human accidents, but after all, Gao Le is generous, and he usually talks with them Xiong and Lu Er's deputy governor, and the two of them were originally selected and recommended by Gao Le before they were appointed as deputy governors, so that night, Lu He still brought gold sore medicine and wine and food, and went to visit Gao Le's injury.

Lu He repeatedly pleaded, saying that I didn't have the ** of being the camp governor, I was all a hard general, and I couldn't help but do it...... I hope you don't blame me, big brother. Gao Le waved his hand: "Qing Zheng doesn't have to defend himself, it happens that Qing is here today, if he is there, then the post of camp governor will fall into his hands...... "Xiong Yi is older than all of them, and he is the right deputy governor of the "martial arts battalion", so he will take over in order, how should it be his turn" This is the intention of the governor, I know that it is not the intention of the Qing. ”

Then he said to Lu He: "Wine and meat are hair things, my cane has not healed, so I don't need it, Qing can eat and drink by himself......" Youyou sighed: "How dare you complain about the governor if you do a bad job at home, let alone Qing?" But why did we come after the governor? It's just a wife and a son, and it's just a background. Now Hu Kou is very powerful, and it is really difficult to resist...... I don't know why the Governor wants to come here......"

Lu He Zhengse said: "Brother, we will receive the great favor of the governor, and I will repay you with my thoughts." Otherwise, with our background, even the townspeople can't do it, and now I am the guard of a county, and my brother is the captain of the infantry, which is enough to glorify the door and comfort the ancestors, are you still afraid of death? ”

Gao Le snorted: "I also want to die for the governor, and I don't want to be afraid of death, but when people are in a desperate situation, they naturally only hope to survive......" chattered non-stop, pouring out all the bitter water to Lu He.

waited until Lu He said goodbye to Gao Le and came out, but when he saw that the night was as cold as water, his heart was even colder, knowing that this tall brother was ...... This man is in such a nature that he may not be saved......

After Liu Yue gave up the pursuit of Gao Le, he wanted to turn back the same way, but he received an order from Liu Yao to send a fast horse, asking him to go south directly to seize the ****** according to what he saw and heard at the Xiayang Ferry, Liu Yao judged that Pei Cai had just led the army into Feng Yi not long ago, and only sent a few soldiers to guard Jindu, which shows that as Liu Dan expected, he did not have enough understanding of his rapid return to the division, and his preparation was even less sufficient. If he changes places and is Pei Gai, Liu Yao will definitely order the troops to retreat and go all out to defend Dali.

If his guess is correct, then Yang is likely to be about to be or has already been emptied, as long as he can quickly seize it and get a solid forward base, the army can take Dali south. At this time, it was a critical juncture for the Xuzhou Army to change its deployment in a hurry, and if it moved south early, it was possible to disrupt Pei Gai's mobilization and defense rhythm and win the initiative on the battlefield.

That's why he ordered Liu Yue to fetch Dali. Liu Yue was still beating drums in his heart at the beginning, but after all, he only led a few hundred soldiers, and he crossed the Yellow River, and fought fiercely for half a day, and the men and horses were tired, how could he attack the fortress? It's just that Liu Yao's generals are very strict, he didn't dare to delay and slack, so he had to lead the army south, but when he arrived at Yang, there was not a single flag on the city, and then he just tried to get in front of the city gate, and the gate was opened, and the gentry in the city carried the wine and led the sheep, and came out to invest......

Liu Yue was really surprised, and immediately smiled: "The king expects the enemy to be the first, and the Jin people are powerless!" ”

But when he entered Yangcheng, he found that the treasury was empty, and there was almost no grain of rice. Liu Yue was furious, so he detained all the gentlemen who came to surrender to Cheng, tortured them, and finally only copied a few hundred stones of rice and grain from each family...... There are a lot of gold and jewelry goods, and Liu Yue stuffed them all into his own pocket.

At the beginning, Lu Yan had to return to the south, and Pei Gai asked him not only to empty the treasury, but also to move the population, so as not to let the people fall into the hands of Hu Lu. However, Hu Jun came very quickly, and if he was forced to relocate, he would not only delay time, but also fear that there would be incitement to make trouble if he refused to follow, so it was all voluntary. About 700 Jin households, about half of the residents inside and outside the county town, wanted to flee, so they simply followed the "Pengshan Camp"; But there are still a lot of left, among which there are quite a few gentry and big families, on the one hand, they are reluctant to give up their own houses and industries, and on the other hand, they are ...... It's not that Hu Kou hasn't been here, as long as he surrenders in time and pays tribute, under whose hands is he not a shunmin?

When he was tortured and plundered by Liu Yue, it was too late to regret it.

Liu Yao led the army to occupy Xiayang first, and then went south to Yang, and when he heard Liu Yueyu report that he had gained very little grain, he couldn't help but smile and nodded: "Pei should be a strong wall and treat me in the wilderness?" And for good reason. Since this is the case, he can't rush south to attack Dali, he has to wait for the grain transportation team behind to catch up, but he can send Liu Yue's front troops and horses first to taste the enemy.

Liu Yue followed Liu Yao to cross the river several times and tackle key problems, and he was also very familiar with geography. He knew that the terrain of Yang was slightly higher, and from this thirty miles to the south, he could enter the plain, and the Jin people had almost no danger to defend, so he led more than 4,000 soldiers and horses in his headquarters, and he went out of the city with high spirits and swagger.

But who Cheng thought that he had just entered the Guanzhong Plain, and he bumped into the cavalry of Xuzhou head-on.

From the south of Yang to Dali, the Jin side has no danger to defend, but this is not to say that Dali is a city with leaky winds on all sides that lives alone on the plain. In the south of Dalicheng, there is Luo water flowing through this Luo water source out of Qiang, south into Wei, in order to distinguish it from the Luo water in Henan, it is customary to also call the "North Luo Shui" valley with a steep deep slope, the water flow is turbulent, and it is also a natural barrier. Go up against Luoshui, turn northwest at fifteen miles west of Da Licheng, then turn a big bend, turn northeast again, between this big bend, there is a hill that is not high, the ancient name is "Shang Yan" Yan is the meaning of the cliff and is also known as "Xu Yuan".

Therefore, the large plains controlled by Dali are from south to west, and then to the northwest, with mountains and rivers, and the terrain is complex, and only the east side is a flat river. Liu Yue was almost along the west bank of the Yellow River, from the east to the south of the county, originally thought that he would not encounter the Jin army, after all, there were still fifty or sixty miles away from the county seat, even if Pei should want to expand the scope of defense, with his little men, it would be impossible to spread so far.

In addition, in the previous battle with the "Wulin Battalion" in Xuzhou in Xiayangdu, in Liu Yue's opinion, the quality of the enemy's soldiers is good, the weapons are sophisticated, but the action is slow, the response is clumsy, and the courage of the generals is even more ...... Hehe~~ It's not worth mentioning. It's really this "martial arts battalion" that defeated the emperor's younger brother...... No, the old general Liu Dan? Either Liu Dan is far from being as capable of fighting as coaxed, or maybe he was barely able to fight ten years ago, but he is dying of old age after all, or Pei Gai blindly expanded the army in Henan and other places, which greatly reduced the combat effectiveness of the army.

Therefore, Liu Yue has a certain contempt for the Xuzhou army, far less cautious than when he first crossed the Yellow River, and a part of the Xuzhou army was all cavalry, which quickly interspersed from the southern foot of Shangyan, which was really unexpected, and he was caught off guard.

This cavalry is naturally the "Qiji Battalion" of Beigong Chun's department, originally less than 1,000 people, but since entering the customs, a lot of good horses have been collected, Pei Gai mixed sand into the camp, stuffed hundreds of Si and Yongzhi who can ride and shoot well, and even the surrendered Hu soldiers entered, for example, he transferred that Liu Guang from the "Fire Robbery Battalion" to the "Qiji Battalion", and the total number of Beigong Chun's deputies has exceeded 1,000.

Beigong Chun has been wandering around the southern foot of Shangyan these days. According to Pei Gai's judgment, after Hu Bing crossed the river, it was likely that he would go south quickly and want to fight himself unprepared, but based on the fact that Xia Yang did not have much grain in stock, and Yang's grain stock had been transported away by Lu Yan, Liu Yao would not dare to go south with the whole division. It is likely that he will send forward troops and horses to the city of Dali in advance to hinder or even block a series of his military movements.

Since this is the case, then Beigong Chun, you should go and kill him for a while to frustrate the prestige of Hu Jun.
