Pei Gai talked about his own marriage, Pei Shi heard this, his face suddenly changed, and then he snorted coldly: "I don't know how Yingchuan Xun can raise such a woman in the high gate, not only is her appearance not very beautiful, but she is also flying and jumping, like a man!" ”

When Pei Gai heard this, he couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart, and just wanted to help the Xun daughter say a few good words, he saw Pei's face change, and sighed: "I want to be in the Hu camp in the past, with open guns and hidden arrows, and always add to my body, I am like walking on thin ice, if this woman is here, maybe my aunt and nephew will be able to get out as soon as possible - his courage is enough to be a couple." You are both bold and reckless! ”

Pei Gai said with a smile: "It is because my nephew loves him, and I must marry him." ”

Pei asked: "Does Qing really love his people, not Yingchuan Xun's family?" ”

Pei Gai Zhengse said: "Although the Xun clan is the crown of the Chinese family, and it is a high gate for a while, my Pei clan is enough to fight against it, how can there be any reason to cling?" The beloved, only his human ear, loves the house of Wushi and Xun. ”

Pei Shi said-"Qing has always had a big idea, even if I say it, I don't want to listen to it...... In the past, I taught the secretary to leave me, but the secretary returned to Hu Ying to protect me, so how can I say that I can turn back on today's marriage? Then he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve: "This is the engagement book between Qing and Du, and I have returned it for Qing." ”

Pei was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Then how is the Du family girl handled?" Can my aunt choose a good mate for her and marry? ”

Pei replied: "I have promised Sima Bo, the prince of Xiyang." ”

Pei Gai heard this, but couldn't help frowning slightly.

Among the kings of Nandu, Sima Yi, the king of Xiyang, is second only to Sima Rui in terms of fame, as the general of the town army and the regular attendant of the scattered cavalry. He was originally the second son of Sima Liang, the king of Runan, and his younger brother Sima Zong, the king of Nanton, also crossed south at the same time, if the two brothers joined forces, it would be enough to shake the Jiankang regime. Fortunately, Sima Yi himself did not have any ambitions, but even out of the idea of self-preservation, he also wanted to take the road of the King of the East China Sea, so the Pei family was in the middle and easily married the Du family's daughter.

But Pei Gaida roughly knows what will happen to Sima Yi, his brother Sima Zong was sentenced for rebellion in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and I believe that Sima Yi's father and son will definitely be implicated - is it really a good fate for Du's daughter to marry into his family?

Pei Shi noticed Pei's expression and asked him, "What's wrong?" Pei should think again, after all, it will be more than ten or even decades later, now that history has changed, even whether the Eastern Jin Dynasty will have another matter, and the Xiyang Wang family may not necessarily sink, so he shook his head and asked Pei Shi back: "Is the Du family willing?" ”

Pei pouted: "If you can marry the palace, why don't they?" And Sima Bo is a young man, how many people seek to join him...... However, in my opinion, the only man in the world is a good couple, and the rest is not enough! ”

Pei Caixin said Aunt don't praise you so face-to-face, I feel blushing when I listen to it...... was about to bow down to thank Pei's, but Pei's suddenly slapped the table: "Wenyue, if Qing allows me to do something, I will hire Du's daughter with Qing, otherwise Du's will be cut off, and Qing and Xun's will never succeed!" ”

Pei Cai heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "Aunt has orders, and nephew does everything." "What do you want to offer?

Pei Shi said seriously: "This Northern Expedition, the sword has no eyes, I am afraid that Wen Yue will be injured and damaged...... waved his hand to prevent Pei Gai from interjecting - "I know that Wen Yue is ambitious, and I will not die of old age between Jian Zhu, but want to gallop on the battlefield and recover the world, but my Pei family will pass on, and I must have no queen!" I have already agreed with Qiu'er, before the envoy Qing goes on the expedition, he will join forces with the Xun family's daughter, is Qing willing to obey? Don't prevaricate again, otherwise I will categorically refuse to allow this marriage! ”

Either you get married now, or forget it, I'll find you another one - you choose!

Pei Gai immediately bowed and said: "My aunt has a life, and my nephew Rinzun is." ”

Originally, Pei Gai did not plan to marry a middle school girl or even a primary school girl, and the marriage with Du was also delayed again and again based on this psychology, but after all, if he wanted to win Xun's heart, he was afraid that he would have a long night and many dreams - since he could destroy Du's covenant, Xun might not break his covenant in the future...... So, if you don't eat or not, it's better to put it on the plate to be safe.

Pei Shi saw that Pei should accept it without hesitation, and couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. Pei should have been reluctant to marry before, and Pei was still worried about whether he had any "fear of marriage" - of course, there was no similar statement in these years, but there are indeed many scholars who are afraid of wasting their good youth on marrying wives and having children and family life, and deliberately marry late and have children late, such as Xi Jian and Xun Song, who are over forty years old, and the eldest son is still in his prime, it is really not because all the early sons died young, because their wives are not very old - so they will allow him to rehire Xun's daughters. You yourself are so anxious to decide on someone else's girl, if you delay the marriage any longer, then you can't say it. Now it seems that Pei Cai just didn't look at the right eye, since he has agreed to get married, the birth of a child is not far away, Pei can finally rest assured.

——————————

When Pei's aunt and nephew were talking, Xun's father and daughter were also talking at night. Xun Song asked her daughter first, today you were in the car of the concubine of the East China Sea, what did she ask you, are you still satisfied? Because of her own marriage, Xun's daughter blushed, no longer jumping out of the past, hanging her head as if squeezing toothpaste, Xun Song asked two words, she barely answered, but it sounded, it seems that the concubine really has the intention of agreeing to this marriage.

But then Xun Song frowned, and whispered to his daughter: "During the day, Dai Ruosi and his father said, King Yunlangya wanted to summon me as a sacrificial wine, and ordered me to cross the river to Jiankang to ......."

The Xun girl was taken aback when she heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Did Daddy agree to him?" ”

Xun Song shook his head and said, "It's just vague...... However, since the king of Langya has a call, how dare he disobey? And the matter of the East China Sea County Guard, there is no follow-up, I am in Xuzhou, but a passerby, if you go to Jiankang, then ......"

Xun's daughter interrupted Xun Song's words a little unceremoniously: "My daughter heard that in the past, Pei made Jun Yaobing on the river, and now Jiangzuo threatened him with a big ship, so it can be seen that between Xu and Yang, the suspicion has been born. If Daddy goes to Jiankang and his daughter stays in Xuzhou, I am afraid that there will be no accident in the future......"

Xun Song glanced at her: "The marriage has not yet been decided, so you are bent on staying in Xuzhou?" ”

Xun's face was flushed, she quickly lowered her head, muttered a few words, and finally mustered up the courage to continue: "Pei Yuanjun wants to hire a daughter, not for his daughter, but he is really interested in my Yingchuan Xun family, and he will not allow Daddy to cross to the south." If the marriage fails, my father and daughter will return to Jiangzuo, and there are many overseas Chinese in Jiankang. If the marriage is successful, Daddy crosses to the south, and his daughter stays in Xuzhou, then the southerners will not believe Daddy, and Pei Yuanjun will not believe in his daughter, isn't it a dilemma? Please also think twice. ”

"Could it be that if I am in Xuzhou, will I have the opportunity to spread?"

"Xu Fang has no other high door except for Pei Yuanjun, he must respect his father, and he has his daughter to help, how can my Xun clan be not honorable?"

Xun Song thought for a while and nodded slightly: "If this marriage can be achieved, and you give birth to a son for Pei Xuzhou, then Pei and Xun are one, and they are indeed the strongest ...... in the world" In fact, the marriage between the high families is also ordinary, the problem is that Pei should be the heir of the Pei family, and his brother is already hanging and has no heirs, then Pei should have a good chance to become the head of the family; And although Xun Song's branch is not a major sect of the Xun family, but his great-grandfather is Xun Yu after all, on the occasion of the Wei and Jin dynasties, the famous scholar has no Xun Wenruo, if he gets the help of the Pei family in the future, it is not impossible to change the small sect into a large sect!

However, Xun Song had no opinions, and was good at swaying with the wind, so he hesitated for a long time before deciding: "If the marriage of the two families can be agreed upon before this Northern Expedition, then the father will stay in Xuzhou for your sake, otherwise...... It's safer to cross the river. ”

Fortunately, early the next morning, Lu Ye was ordered by Pei's to come to hire Pei Cai, and proposed that the two would be married in three days. Xun Song couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and asked, "Why are you so careful?" Lu Ye said with a smile: "This Northern Expedition will take a long time, and the second son must be married first, so the concubine of the East China Sea will be at ease, and she can return to Jiankang immediately." ”

This is what the other party's elder means, and this elder is still the princess of the East China Sea, how dare Xun Song refuse? made up his mind, agreed to this marriage, and stayed in Xuzhou without leaving. Immediately, Pei Gai also came to talk with him, saying that he originally wanted to take advantage of the autumn to enter Donghai County, so he handed over the affairs of a county to his father-in-law, but now he has to go on the Northern Expedition, and Jiankang has not been appointed, and he also asked his father-in-law to be wronged for a few days, how about managing Pi on behalf of Tao Kan? Tao Shixing I want to take with me to fight, but there is a lack of people to govern, and I believe that I will be able to shoulder this heavy responsibility.

At the same time, Pei Gai also transferred the position of Xuzhou Farewell Driver from Pei Wei to Xun Song, and asked him to temporarily take over the responsibility of the internal history of Pi as a state driver - this is also the meaning of enveloping and retaining, since Xun Song decided to stay, he readily agreed.

——————————

Pei Cai said goodbye to Xun Song, and after returning to his temporary residence, he ordered Pei Ren: "Call that person." "Originally, I said that I would have a meeting today to discuss the Northern Expedition, but Pei was busy making a marriage for himself and marrying him, so Sima Li suggested that he might as well wait for another three or five days for official business, and talk about it after his uncle got married-anyway, I don't care about delaying these just a few days, the young man has only crossed the Jiangbei, and the freshness has not passed, so I really don't want to hold a meeting to discuss military and political affairs. Pei Gai had some free time - anyway, preparing for the wedding, Pei Wei and others were in charge, and he didn't have to do it himself for the time being, so he was able to summon a mysterious person - this person's name is Peng Xiao, and his name is Qin.

Peng Xiao is a native of Anlu in Jiangxia County, born in the Shu clan, and has no appearance, no talent, and no fame - not to mention far fame, even within a county, there are not many people who know him. This kind of goods was not worth Pei Cai's time, but the problem was that he had a good master by chance, a native of Jurong County, Danyang County, and hugged Puzi Ge Hong Ge Zhichuan.

Things have to start a few years ago, since Zu Tixi conquered Yan and Yu, and Pei Gai began to take charge of military affairs, he has been thinking about how to improve the combat effectiveness of his men. Adequate food and training are indispensable, but this alone may not be able to widen the gap between the other warlord forces, and in the end, it will depend on the small number of people to speak. Since he is a time-traveler, he naturally has advanced insights that people in this era do not possess at all, but those sociological insights may not be applicable to today--the social foundation is different after all--to make a queue training, and order that the generals must be literate, even if it is quite remarkable, it is difficult to accumulate into qualitative change.

What about scientific and technical insights? Pei Gai knows very well that in terms of productivity in these years, even if there is enough technology, it is unrealistic to build guns and cannons, and I am afraid that half of Xuzhou's financial resources may not be able to test an early metal cannon, and even if the test is successful, it will definitely not be able to build a few, which is a drop in the bucket. But gunpowder...... You can try to do it.

The most implemented strategy is probably the fire attack, first Cao Cao loves to play with fire attack, and the black nest directly changed the general trend of the world, and then was overtaken by Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang of the small characters, and burned Cao Cao in Chibi to the point of a wolf. But if you look through the annals, in fact, the number of fire attacks is not so much at all, and the power is not necessarily great, even the earliest records related to "rockets" have to be postponed to the Three Kingdoms era, Hao Zhao burned Zhuge Liang's siege ladder in Chencang.

Why is that? Quite simply, there is no gunpowder......
