Pei Gai naturally will not completely empty Xuzhou. It's just that he was fighting in Guanzhong before, and he had no time to look east, and at the same time, considering that Cao Wei had already gone anyway, Shi Lefang was in Hebei, and it was unlikely that he would easily use troops against Xu Fang, and Jiangdong wanted to use troops, but also lacked enough names, so he put aside the proposal of returning aid for the time being.

But when he heard that Shi Le had attacked and killed Wang Jun and extended his power into Youzhou, Pei Gai finally couldn't sit still. He remembered that in the original history, after Shi Le occupied Youyou and Ji, he immediately crossed Taihang to defeat Liu Kun, and then turned around and fought Cao Wei - Xuzhou again, and it was not on the agenda.

However, history has changed, for example, Shi Le's attack on Santai and Liu Yan's expulsion were between the destruction of Wang Jun and the annexation of Zhou, but in this timeline, that guy first captured Linzhang, and then attacked Jicheng - the funny thing is that his nephew let people run away, and Liu Kun was even confused by his humble words, thinking that Shi Le would be willing to surrender to Jin

In addition, since Pei Gai had been in contact with Cheng Yao since the Northern Expedition, the number of secret contacts with Cheng Yao has been sparse, and without his handwritten letter, do you think anyone would be able to take out important information from Cheng Ziyuan's mouth? Let alone exert influence. Pei should know that his hatred against Lashile and Zhang Bin, especially Zhang Mengsun, is very stable, and he is afraid that those two would rather take the risk of the wrong time, lack of geographical advantages, and lack of people, and go down to Xu Fang first, and want to shovel their own foundation, relying only on scholars such as Bian Yan and Xiong Yuan, it will be difficult to resist.

To be honest, even if Xi Jian is in Xu, Pei Gai may not be so worried. Xi Jianhao had led troops in Yishan in the past, and had seen battles, and in the original history, after he crossed to the south, he immediately summoned the displaced people from Jiangbei to quell the rebellion of Zuyue and Su Jun. What about Bian Yan? According to historical records, the day he led his troops into battle was the time when his father and son died together

Pei Cai's soldiers and horses, now in the midst of a big blood change, a large number of Guanzhong soldiers were included in its system, began to reorganize, train, and at the same time erected flags to recruit young and strong people from all over the country and county in Yongzhou, or enlisted in the army, or military tun, and the proportion of western soldiers is increasing day by day. In contrast, many of the eastern soldiers, mainly the Xuzhou army, but also some of the soldiers and horses of the prefecture such as Si ○, were discharged from the army due to injuries, and except for some who were ordered to settle down in nearby Si ○ and Yuzhidi, the rest of them became more and more homesick.

Logically speaking, most of Pei Gai's main forces were semi-professional soldiers, basically out of the land, and could go on expeditions for a long time. There is a cloud in Hanle Mansion: "Fifteen from the army, eighty to return." It must also be the so-called "good family of the six counties", not a temporary peasant soldier. Of course, there must be exaggerations in this sixty-five years), how many thousands of miles to fight, do you have a grudge in your heart? There must be resentment; But can it come back? Who will let you go? The important thing is, even if it has become a common phenomenon, is the combat effectiveness of the Han army weakened so much? Not necessarily.

As the saying goes, "the country is always weak to perish, and the Han independence is strong to perish." "It's not a lie.

But the problem is that there must be a sufficiently solid rear with a strong central power to rely on. Now that Xu Fang is hanging outside, the strong enemy is on the side, and crises are frequent, how can you maintain the tenacious combat mentality of those Xuzhou veterans for a long time? Most of his family members and children are in Xuzhou, and once Xuzhou, especially in Huainan, is caught by the police, they will have the heart to flee!

Therefore, some Xuzhou soldiers must be put back, and letting them guard their hometown is more reassuring than galloping to Kansai. Therefore, when the counties of Yongzhou were basically pacified, Pei Gai immediately picked up the buds and prepared to return to Xu.

It's just that although he doesn't have many soldiers, it's enough for the time being, not to mention that the first batch of selected people is only 2,000 people, even if it is two or three times this number, it will not be overstretched; The problem is that the number of qualified generals under his command is limited, and he is reluctant to let anyone go.

So he immediately summoned the generals to discuss, and the last one immediately stood up and said: "A certain talent, I am willing to guard Xuzhou for the metropolitan governor!" ”

Pei should take a closer look, it was not someone else, it was Su Jun Su Zigao, who had just been promoted to the lower school.

Su Jun said: "Shi Le's tiger and wolf generation, Cao Wei is a villain repeatedly, if they get along, Xu Fang will be in danger." If they plot to invade Xuzhou, the first of the whole of Dongguan, and the last general of the villagers are in Dongguan Tunken, every time they think about it, they are worried - dare to ask the governor of the capital to allow it, and Rong will go back to garrison Dongguan, and will not let a thief step into the territory! ”

Pei Gai was originally not very kind to Su Jun, a famous thief in history, but as history became more and more unrecognizable because of his own plugging, his little mustard gradually disappeared. After all, what Su Jun did in his original history, although despicable and murderous, was also an act of venting his anger under the persecution of the Jin court - a martial artist in these years, who doesn't have a little brutal element in his bones? Mainly, if it weren't for the Jin court, mainly Yu Liang, Su Zigao might only have the desire to make meritorious contributions and climb up, but not the ambition to rebel and seize power.

This is not far from the later "Great General of the Universe" after all.

Besides, Su Jun's rebellion was largely due to the weakness of the Jin court - obviously weak, and he had to force the generals, which can be regarded as Yu Yuangui having in his head - and if I can support this small court of Chang'an, the strength is at least not weaker than Hu, Su Zigao, does he dare to easily rebel? Yu Yuangui can't control him, maybe I can't make an appointment with Pei Wen.

In addition, Xie Feng also said good things about Su Jun when he saw the sky, saying that this guy is both honest and capable, so I will be promoted to the lower school - the metropolitan governor, you pay attention, this person is available. Pei Caixin said that it must be an illusion to be honest, but Su Jun was willing to temporarily clamp his tail in the face of strength, which was also wise for him.

Now that Pei Gai has more than a dozen battalion governors and deputy battalion governors, he refuses to let go, so he has to choose people at the ministry level. Among the ministries and schools, there is no one who can fight more than Su Zigao, and judging from historical records, this person at least has the ability to command ten thousand armies. Therefore, under Su Jun's repeated pleas, Pei Gai finally agreed, promoted Su Jun to deputy battalion governor, and led 2,000 Xuzhou veterans to return to his hometown.

On the way back, Su Zigao was so proud, like a tiger returning to the deep forest, and a dragon entering the sea. He originally nested in a remote place like Changguang, looking at the sky at the bottom of the well, and thought that he was very good, but when he entered the Xuzhou army, he found that most of the fierce generals were not under him. Of course, after careful observation, he realized that it was not the world's elites who knew Xu Fang, but Pei Dadu's control of the law, and more importantly, with the support of Xuzhou's strong soldiers, even the mediocre generals could be three points stronger than others.

It's just that there are still people after all, for example, Zhen Sui, Su Jun is really respectful and afraid, hated and fearful of that barbarian. He said to himself, "Why did I end up in the "fire robbery camp"? With that barbarian town on it, how hard do I have to work to get ahead? As for coming from behind and surpassing Zhen Sui, he didn't dare to think about it at all.

Therefore, the idea of changing camps is often born - for example, "Pengshan", there are not many fierce people; It is best to be "martial arts", in addition to the battalion supervising Lu and being able to endure hard fighting, you look at the cowardice of the next race. In fact, Gao Le, Xiong Yi and the like may be able to become famous generals in other departments, but in the Xuzhou army, it is purely the lack of manpower of the metropolitan governors, otherwise they would have been dragged to idle positions. If I am in the "Martial Arts Battalion", a pair of governors are at my fingertips, and then surpass Lu He, it is not a fantasy!

Of course, one is to maintain the mask of an honest person, and the other is that Xie Feng also treats him well, Su Jun is just thinking about it so far, and he doesn't dare to really go to the event to change camps.

Who wants to be blessed by heaven, he was actually promoted to deputy governor and was able to lead the veteran back to his hometown - this is almost equivalent to the fact that the governor of the capital allowed him to take a battalion of his own battalion and U Zigao along the way, grinning every day, and he was so happy that he couldn't find the north.

This time to Xu Fang, I will raise the banner, and thousands of troops and horses will be available in an instant. The Metropolitan Governor is struggling in Guanzhong, if I can keep Xu Fang for him, and even have the strength to knead and Ji, then the future is still limited? Even if Zhen Manzi, if he had stayed by the side of the Grand Governor, it is estimated that he would not be as tall as me!

is like Han Xin, if he is always by Liu Bang's side, although he is a general, he is just a senior staff officer and a former governor; Once he will be an army, break Zhao, destroy Qi, and force Yan, he will have to tear the earth and seal the king!

But although he was overjoyed, Su Jun was still thinking about the villagers in Dongguan Tunken - that was the basic plate of his family - for fear that before he got to the ground, Dongguan would be served by Shi Le or Cao Wei, if those villagers were all captured and killed, how painful would it be? Therefore he urged his soldiers to hurry away. Fortunately, the Xuzhou veterans under his command are also like arrows, and they don't need to be urged by the main general at all, and they run fast one by one.

Nearly 3,000 miles, only a month to walk, on the way also received a message from Pei Gai's fast horse, saying that Cao Wei had changed banners and might soon invade Dongguan, so Su Jun would go faster. On this day, when he came to Mount Tai, the county shou Zuji sent people to greet him, and told Su Jun that Cao Wei sent Liu Bawei Xi to come to the mountain in view of the public - "I was going to go to the rescue, but unfortunately the mountain bandits in the territory were in turmoil, and they were pacified, and they did not send troops." Now that the general is coming, Dongguan will be saved. ”

Su Jun immediately informed the whole army and asked, "Do you know how Cao Wei is like a person?" And they said they didn't know. Su Jun said: "Repeated villains, and self-proclaimed tigers and leopards, are actually just jackal ears." Qingzhou soldiers are also cowardly, if there are women and children, how can I compare with the elite of Xu Fang? Today, I will lead you and others to fight with you, like an eagle and a falcon pecking a rabbit, a tiger eating a sheep, and defeat is easy - you and others are not afraid. ”

Everyone laughed: "Su Du is joking, I am not even afraid of Hu'er, how are we afraid of his Qingzhou soldiers?" "As for how many Qingzhou soldiers came, more than us or less than us, the big guys didn't hesitate to ask.

Su Jun saw that the morale was available, so he took a day off in Mount Tai, and then traveled lightly and went straight to Gonglai Mountain along the road. Liu Ba was naturally worried that the soldiers of Mount Tai would come to the rescue of Gonglai Mountain, so on the one hand, he was generous with money and instigated the bandits in Mount Tai to make trouble, and on the other hand, he went down to camp and blocked the west way. However, he sat in Gaixian County, and just received a report that there was a force of soldiers and horses, about thousands of people, surging from the direction of Mount Tai, and he was in a hurry to probe again, and even if the news of defeat arrived. Liu Ba hurriedly put on his clothes and armor, ordered the soldiers to line up, and prepared to go to meet the attack, but before he left the city, he saw countless defeated soldiers running along the road, followed by the arrogant Xuzhou veterans

Liu Ba immediately closed the city gate in a hurry, only to see a horse coming, pulling a bow and arrows from a distance, he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, and couldn't help but turn over and fall off the horse - that would naturally be Su Zigao.

Su Jun captured Liu Ba in this life, captured the county seat, and then did not defend the city, led the army to take Gonglai Mountain, and broke the 16 bases of Qingzhou soldiers in one day, killing no less than thousands. Xi Jian saw it on the mountain, knew that the reinforcements had arrived, and immediately led his troops to kill him, and sent someone to pass the general, saying that please wait, and Xi Fujun would come to meet him.

Su Jun immediately descended the mountain, looked around, couldn't help but look up to the sky and laughed, and asked left and right: "What do you think of today's battle?" Everyone pouted and said, "As Su Du said, it is easy to take a chance." Su Jun said with a smile: "In the past, the governor conquered Fufeng, and there was a saying of 'touring the mountains and enjoying the flowers, throwing stones to make trouble', and I waited for today's battle, but to enjoy the flowers, even the stones have not been thrown, and the enemy will be defeated!" ”

This is to be expected. The people Su Jun brought over were all veterans of the Xuzhou Hundred Battles, and followed Pei Cai all the way from Huaiyin to Guanzhong, with both skilled combat skills and good equipment, plus in order to protect Xu Fang's hometown, everyone was brave and the morale was extremely high. In contrast, the quality of the Qingzhou soldiers is not high, and the soldiers have been in the mountain for more than a month, and the veterans of the division are tired, how can there be much fighting spirit left?

Especially Su Jun has dealt with Cao Wei for many years in the past, that guy has a few catties and taels, what level is the Qingzhou soldier, he is clear≡ from seeing Pei Gai, Su Zigao realized a truth, there has always been a strong general to have a strong soldier, just like Han Xin's soldiers and horses, he has been robbed by Liu Bang many times, he still turns over and is a good man, even the world's brave Chu army can frequently kill you. Therefore, even if Governor Pei Dadu put all the people of Xuzhou back, he just summoned the Yong people to join the army, and it would not take half a year, and it would be an unparalleled journey in the world; Even if Cao Wei has millions of soldiers, even if he has enough food and training every day, he is still vulnerable.

And for such a weak brigade, it is necessary to drive straight into it and directly break their backbone; If you take it step by step and let them relax, it will only increase the casualties.

Let's say that Xi Jian sent people to chase down the defeated soldiers in Qingzhou, and at the same time came to meet Su Jun in person. Su Jun heard that the other party had been appointed by Bian Yan as the county guard of Dongguan, and he didn't dare to slack off-Bian Envoy Jun's signature, how could Governor Pei Dadu refuse to give it to him--preemptively. Xi Daohui thanked him repeatedly, and Su Zigao ordered someone to escort Liu Ba up and hand him over to the county guard. Xi Jian glanced at Liu Ba from the corner of his eye, and said to Su Jun with a smile: "Vertical ears, the knife of the general is afraid of killing, I intend to return to the north to warn Cao Wei not to invade again-what does the general think?" Since it was Su Jun who caught him, he couldn't make his own decisions, he had to listen to the other party's opinion.

Su Jun said that it was okay, and immediately stretched out his hand to point at Liu Ba, and shouted: "I have a few words, and you will tell Cao Wei for me - I am Su Zigao of Ye County, and I will return today!" Because Cao Wei is anyway, he is a minister in the same dynasty, and the old grievances are difficult to report, and he often gnashes his teeth, but fortunately he has returned to Huying today. You can persuade Cao Wei to wash his face every day, comb his beard, protect his head, and wait for me to get it, so that he can hang his head to show the public, so as not to harm his head and face, and make me troubled. ”

He immediately ordered Liu Ba to shave his tired hair, change his clothes, give him a lame horse, and let him go back to Guanggu.
