Pei Cai thought to himself, the number of the opposite army is more than the self-army, and the morale is quite high, and Shi Hu is not incompetent, this battle looks very difficult to fight. Even if they can defeat Shihu, their own army will suffer heavy losses, will they still have the strength to continue to attack Pingyang?

But it is impossible to retreat without a fight, not to mention that it will affect the morale of the army, and even the hearts of the subjects of the world, and if the army is not damaged, maybe Shi Hu will also attack Pingyang if he turns his head. If Pingyang is obtained by the Qianren and is connected with Taiyuan and Xihe, it will not only be more difficult to attack, but also strong and robust.

Therefore, it is necessary to rise to the challenge and not only have a heart for security.

So he discussed countermeasures with the generals, and while he was talking, he suddenly reported that Shi Hu had come to the camp and called the governor to come out of the camp to talk. Pei Cai couldn't help but wonder: "The army is crowded, and Shi Hu is not in a hurry to attack me, but calls me to talk, is it cowardice?" Only Pei Xiong understood the previous situation, so he interjected: "Shi Hu must be afraid of the lord." ”

Pei Gai shook his head: "Shi Hu is cunning, why are you afraid of words?" Then he nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go and meet the 'old man' for a while." ”

He put on his armor neatly, rode out on his horse, and went to meet the stone tiger. The two immediately faced each other in front of the camp, up and down, their eyes like torches, looking at each other.

Six years have passed, and now Shi Hu is no longer the stunned young and half-grown child of the past, he commanded tens of thousands of troops, repeatedly fought in battle, won more and lost less, and naturally cultivated a fierce general and even the power of a commander. Especially with a long beard, at first glance he doesn't look like a weak-crowned young man, and some people believe that he is older than Pei Gai.

As for Pei Gai, in Shi Hu's opinion, he is still so unfathomable and profound, although there is a slight smile on his face, I am afraid that he actually has a dangerous plan...... I don't know why, the more light Pei Gai is, the less steady Shi Hu's heart is.

So he took the initiative to clench his fists on the horse and saluted: "Mr. Pei." ”

Pei Gai didn't return the salute, just nodded slightly, and asked, "Ji Long, don't come to harm's way?" ”

Shi Hu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, moistened his throat, and then said, "I don't want to end up with Mr. Field...... However, if I don't come, Mr. will get Pingyang, and now that I have come, does Mr. think he still has a chance to win? Why don't you go on patrol? ”

Pei Gai smiled: "Why do you say that I have no chance of winning? The courage and cowardice of the soldiers on both sides, the rigor of the battle formation, and the wisdom and foolishness of the generals are all waiting for the battle, and only then can they distinguish the advantages and disadvantages. What you are afraid of is only Pingyang City on your side, but in the event of a war, Pingyang will not send a single soldier to help, or even a bundle of grass and rice. The destruction of the Liu clan is imminent, why should you abandon Taiyuan to save you? Tuoba is in the north, I have ordered Yu Lu to march into Jinyang, your nest is still difficult to protect, do you dare to talk about victory or defeat in front of this battle? ”

The mouth of the river was like a river, and Shi Hu was speechless. Shi Hu said in his heart, I am definitely not Mr. Pei's opponent than eloquence...... I had to snort: "I am a Hanchen after all, the country is in trouble, how can I not rescue each other?" ”

Pei Gai smiled and raised the bamboo cane in his hand and said, "You and Uncle Ru, whether you are willing to be Hanchen, I also know it. If you want to be a Hanchen, I will do as you wish, and make your death here; If you don't want to be Hanchen, you can retreat immediately, and you can still live for some time as a Zhao Chen. Thou art young, so why should thou waste thy life? How is you better than Liu Yao? How is the army of Ru Taiyuan compared to Liu Cang's 200,000 people? ”

In fact, Pei Cai wanted to say: Little guy, hurry up and go back, what good will it do you if you save the Liu family? It's better for me to take down Pingyang and capture the Liu family in one fell swoop, then won't you be able to incite your uncle to claim the title of emperor?

As far as Pei Gai himself is concerned, it is not a big deal to have one or two more emperors, but as a Jin minister, he can't easily open this mouth and encourage others to be emperors.

Shi Hu shook his head and said, "Since I have come here, how can I retreat without a fight?" ”

Pei Gai nodded: "In this case, I will leave some affection for my subordinates, so that you may be able to survive Jinyang." "Swing the horse's head, and then go away.

Shi Hu mustered up his courage and called out behind his back: "Mr. Pei, slow down, there is still one thing to ask Mr. ”

Pei Gai turned to one side: "What's the matter?" ”

"In the past, when I first went into battle, I was ambushed at the mouth of the giant spirit, and it was almost inevitable that I would ...... My husband instigated me to go, do you want to kill me?! ”

Pei Gai turned around and glanced at Shi Hu, and couldn't help but secretly feel funny. But there was no smile on his face, he just nodded: "It's a pity, Ji Siyuan (Ji Zhan) is a mediocre person, and he actually let you escape, otherwise how could there be today?" ”

Shi Hu gritted his teeth and asked, "In the past, I treated Mr. so respectfully, is Mr. still thinking about beating Ru Yimaru and hating me?" ”

Pei Gaixin said that you opened my head that day, it was really a trivial matter, as long as the bear child is willing to discipline, he may not be able to become a talent in the future - in fact, in a sense, you can be regarded as a talent. It was purely because you were so famous in the original history that I wanted to kill a temporarily innocent person for the first time since I crossed over, but it is inconvenient to say this.

Then he replied, "Am I a man of little hatred?" Your uncle and nephew really have the heart of a deer, and also have the power of stealing feet, and it is a big trouble in China, who doesn't want to get rid of it quickly? I had no plan to slaughter the bear, so I had to murder the jackal first, and that's it. ”

Shi Hu was so angry that his eyes cracked, and he shouted angrily: "Mr. actually thinks I am a jackal?!" With his left hand, he couldn't help but clench the reins, and with his right hand, he picked up the spear.

Pei should see that it seems to have the intention of a surprise attack, and his heart is good, I might as well lure you deeper, that is, no matter how brave Shihu is, one or two horses can be bound. He immediately raised his voice and said, "My head is here, if you have the guts, come and take it." As he spoke, he shook the reins of his horse and galloped back to the battle.

If you put it aside six years ago, maybe Shi Hu was impulsive, and he really rode his horse straight over, wanting to capture and kill Pei Gai, but after all, he has been in battle many times, and he is no longer the Wuxia Ameng of the past. Especially when Pei Gai tricked him into attacking the Giant Spirit Mouth that day, he took the opportunity to run away and teach Shi Hu a good lesson, letting him know how sinister the hearts of people in the world are, and how treacherous this Mr. Pei is in front of him......

In fact, Shi Hu did not always set his eyes on Pei Gai, as the quality of a general, he had already used the corner of his eyes to take the situation of the enemy and the other party's layout into his mind, and instinctively analyze it. Of course, Pei Gai will not come out of the camp alone--Shi Hu is the same-there are still many knights behind him, Shi Hu Dan saw a person on the right, with bright armor and a wide mouth and beard, although he had never been photographed, but he thought it was the brave general Zhen Sui. Looking at the person on Pei Gai's left again, he vaguely recognizes - isn't this Pei Xiong?

I think I studied with Mr. Pei at the beginning, and I ate and lived in his tent for a few days, and I had nothing to do, looking for someone to fight, and I also used to compete with Pei Xiong, and I couldn't fight him...... Since Mr. Pei fled south, there has been no trace of this guy, so he was also taken across the river? It is said that this Xianbei slave received by my family is also Xianbei, Xianbei is not credible!

In fact, it is expected, even reasonable. If the commander of the First Army was not my uncle, and Mr. Pei had clearly said that he was leaving, maybe I would have followed him that day...... Then Pei Xiong followed, as a matter of course.

A Zhen Sui, a Pei Xiong, guarding left and right, eyeing each other, my head is hot at this time, straight to Mr. Pei? Then don't you look for your own death! I'm not a three-foot naughty boy, how can I do something unwise about this?

Therefore, Shi Hu did not chase Pei Gai, but also turned the horse's head and shouted: "In this way, let Mr. Pei sleep peacefully for one night, and tomorrow on the battle array, he will determine his own advantages and disadvantages, win or lose!" "Under the protection of the tribe, he rode back to the camp.

Pei Gai secretly said that it was a pity, that is, he returned to his own account and continued to hold military meetings. Dealing with the advantages and disadvantages of the armies of both sides, Guo Mo proposed: "It seems difficult for me to ride on horseback, but tomorrow I can ride to break the enemy." ”

——————————

What kind of people belong to the Karma people is a mystery through the ages, and later generations have different opinions, even if Pei should travel to this era, even if he asks Shi Le face to face, Shi Le will definitely not be able to answer the reason. According to Chinese historical records, the Xiongnu tribe was a certain ethnic group or tribe that was subjugated during the expansion of the Xiongnu Empire.

If we take China as a comparison, there were ten thousand countries in the summer period, thousands of countries in the Shang period, and there were eight hundred princes in the Zhou Dynasty, and a considerable number of them were not their own tribes - not even such as Yan and Lu who ruled the barbarians with their own nobles - captured Qin and the world, and changed the counties and counties without dividing them, and then Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty respected Confucianism and unified his thoughts, so that he could say that he gave birth to a truly independent Chinese nation. At the beginning, the Xiongnu were only a part of the grassland, and then merged with the Eastern Hu, the Zhuyue clan, and the Western Regions, before they gathered hundreds of tribes into one, but before they could produce a unified language, customs, and culture—which was originally difficult for the nomadic country—they were destroyed by the Han Dynasty.

By the time of the Wei and Jin dynasties, the Xiongnu moved to the states of He, Hebei and other states, and the northern grass principle was occupied by Xianbei, and the various ethnic groups that were not so closely connected were stripped out one after another - in fact, Xianbei originated from Donghu and was originally ruled by the Xiongnu - and the rest can be called "other departments". Later generations speculated that the Xiongnu were plundered from the Western Regions and even Central Asia, and that they were first Yueshi, or Sogdian, or Kangju, but all in all, they also belonged to the nomadic people.

It's just that since the Xiongnu moved south, most of the people have turned to agriculture - for example, Shile was a herding slave, which is purely accidental, not a racial bonus, and its largest branch is in Shangdang. Therefore, the karma in the Shile army is not as good as the karma in the Shihu army, and the number is large, and even if the karma in the Shihu army, most of them have long abandoned the nomadic bingfu and can only be infantry, not cavalry.

Similar to Shi Le's subordinates, Shi Hu's subordinates were also a multi-ethnic mixed army, with the surrendered Jin, Xiongnu, and Zahu being the majority, and the Karma species only accounted for a small part. Therefore, the cavalry of Shihu's department, mainly led by the Xiongnu and Zahu, was not higher than Pei's army in terms of the quality of its soldiers.

You must know that the 2,000 cavalry brought out by Pei Gai this time are half from the "Cavalry Brigade", that is, from the "Qiji Battalion", and most of them are "Liangzhou Horses". Because of the vast grassland and excellent horse breeds, Liangzhou has been a holy place for horsemen since the end of the Han Dynasty, and the cavalry of Liangzhou is far inferior to Liangzhou in terms of personnel and horse quality. According to the general belief at that time, the first horse in the world was the grassland elite rider of Xianbei - especially Tuoba - followed by the "Liangzhou Horse".

Therefore, before the two sides set up camp, they sent their rangers forward, and it was inevitable to encounter and fight in the process of reconnaissance, and the Jin Dynasty occupied a great advantage. Therefore, Guo Mo proposed that our army should use infantry to strengthen the formation, and use elite cavalry guerrilla outflanking, which is expected to defeat the face-to-face army.

Pei Gai then turned his gaze to Liu Guang, who was the commander of the second battalion of the cavalry brigade, and Pei Gai had the intention of attacking Pingyang and using him as a guide, so he took him on the expedition and asked, "Does Qing have a plan?" ”

Liu Guang hugged his fists and said: "In the plain duel, our cavalry can break 100. It's just that the east side is close to the city wall of Pingyang, so it is not suitable to copy and disturb, if Shihu is more adjacent to the city, then only the west side can be attacked. Please put 200 horsemen in the east of the formation to protect it, and the rest are in ambush in the west of the formation, look at its flaws, and come out and defeat the enemy. ”

Guo Mo said: "It is precisely because the city wall is in the east, so Shihu may not be fortified, so if I set up more cavalry on the right side of the formation, I may be able to surprise and attack its side." ”

Liu Guang wrinkled his brows and thought about it, saying that it was not appropriate, if the cavalry did not have enough space to copy, it would be difficult to surprise the enemy, there was no long-distance speed to speed up, and the impact power should also be discounted - "Column cavalry to the right, hoping for luck, I am afraid that it is not the right way of the art of war." ”

Pei Gai finally adopted Liu Guang's suggestion, that is, he ordered President Guo Mo to take the overall situation, Zhen Sui in the center, Guo Yu in the left, and Yao Yizhong in the right, to lay a solid infantry formation, Liu Guang led the main cavalry force, ambushed on the left side of the infantry formation, that is, in the west, and he himself guarded the camp.

The next morning, the two sides went out with their own drums, Shi Hu ordered Guo Rong to be on the left and Zhang Si to be on the right, and he would take the Chinese army and Chao Zan as the staff officer, and also lined up to face the Jin people. Chao Zan's guards escorted Shi Hu out of front for a few zhang to watch the Jin formation, so he reminded Shi Hu and said: "The day before yesterday, I competed with the Jin cavalry, and I had more 'Liangzhou Horse', and its momentum was unstoppable. There must be a large force of cavalry lying in ambush on the flank, wanting to wait for the fierce battle between the two armies to copy me. ”

Shi Hu said with a smile: "What I said when I joined the army is true, I should order the left and right sides to set up spears and strong formations to guard against it." Then he raised his head, looked left and right, and said, "The east side is close to the city wall, and it is not easy for the Jin cavalry to assault, and I expect that most of them will come from the west." ”

The camp of the army is in the west of Pingyang City, about a mile away from the city wall, after the front out of the formation, the team is lined up, and the far left side of the array is very close to the city wall. The Jin camp was originally in the south of the city, and since Pei Gai arrived, he immediately ordered the soldiers to cut down giant trees nearby to build siege equipment, but because Shi Hu led the army to arrive, the project was forced to be suspended, and the camp was moved to the west side, opposite the front of the camp.

This is to be a little farther away from Pingyang City, otherwise, one is in the south of the city, the other is in the west of the city, and the opposite side is arranged, basically there is a wing close to the moat, if Liu Yao responds to Shi Hu and opens the door to kill, it will undoubtedly cause considerable trouble to the Jin Formation - with the current morale of the Hu Army, the possibility of directly breaking through the Jin Formation is not too great.

However, although the battlefield has been set up to the west as much as possible, if the Hu army really comes out, it may still disrupt the Jin formation from the flank to a certain extent. Therefore, Pei Gai followed Liu Guang's words and arranged more than 200 cavalry on the right side of the formation to prepare to block the Hu army; And Shi Hu will naturally send people into the city to ask Liu Yao's camera to go out of the city to respond......
