The letter from Xie Feng, the left deputy governor of the "Fire Robbery Camp", came in outside the door, Pei Gai opened it and read it, and couldn't help but smile slightly: "It's a good word......

Since it is a good character, of course it will not be written by the semi-literate Xie Feng, and there are some of the scribes in Xie Feng's camp who are coarse and well-versed, if there is good calligraphy, Pei should definitely know that it must be Wang Gong's handwriting. Pei should have forwarded the letter to Pei Wei, Pei Wei spread his hands and turned sideways, and Wang Gong's status with Tao Kan was special, so it was inconvenient to circulate it with the generals; Besides, even if it is circulated, they may not be able to understand it.

After all, Wang Gong was born as a scholar, although he wrote letters in the metabolic wind, it was impossible to write four or six words, but the rhetoric was also quite elegant, and mixed with a lot of idioms and allusions.

The letter said that the East Route Army had successfully arrived at Linqu, and had not yet made contact with Cao Wei to see Cao Wei's movements, because they wanted to shrink the defensive line, and a group of seven or eight people came to meet them.

The order of Ye County is Su Jun, the word is high, and the people of Ye County, Changguang County and Gao He are the same township. He has inherited this poetry and book, and his father Su Mo has done the domestic history of peace and happiness, and Su Jun himself was filial piety at the age of eighteen and served as the county master. But before he could emerge, the "Yongjia Rebellion" broke out, Su Jun entangled thousands of families in the county, docked to protect himself, and sent Shi Xu Wei to the surrounding tuns to declare Wang Hua, and collected dry bones and buried, which won the hearts of the people, and the dock forts in the east of Qingzhou pushed him as the leader of the alliance.

Cao Wei was in Qingzhou, and sent envoys to envelop Su Jun many times and appointed him as the county order, Su Jun was not subject to his orders, but he also claimed to be a county order, of course, the meaning of the two is different, if from Cao Wei, that is, the Han order, Su Jun claimed to be the Jin order.

It's just that Cao Wei is powerful, Su Jun has to be vain, and when Shi Le attacked Qingzhou, in line with the righteousness of the cold lips and teeth, Su Jun also led the soldiers of the Wubao to reinforce Guanggu, which gave Shi Le a lot of suffering. When Shi Le retreated, Cao Wei wanted to take the opportunity to dominate Qingzhou, at the beginning of the locusts in the territory, do not refrain from doing anything, last year's harvest was not bad, he began to launch a fierce attack on Su Jun.

Su Jun was weak after all, he was beaten by Cao Wei only to parry, and he had no power to fight back, and he wanted to give up his old foundation and flee to the seaside, when he suddenly heard that the Xuzhou army was on a northern expedition, so he hurriedly sent Xu Wei to contact Xie Feng, hoping to be able to attack the north and south with the Xuzhou army and break Cao Wei together.

Although Xie Feng summoned Xu Wei, he himself lacked strategic considerations, so Wang Gong was appointed to assist him. Wang Gong asked Xu Wei on his behalf, first inquired in detail about the situation in Qingzhou, including the strength of Cao Wei and Su Jun, and then asked: "Mr. Xu, I am another army, and I have 20,000 ears, I don't know if I attack Cao Wei with your troops, what are the chances of conquering Guanggu?" I have heard that Guanggu is in danger, and Cao Wei has accumulated savings for many years, and there is no shortage of grain, so it may not be easy to get rid of it, right? ”

Xu Wei replied: "Although Cao Wei's department has a number of 100,000, there are very few people who are really capable of fighting, otherwise Su Ling would not be able to scatter his troops with Wubao and deal with it for several years. As long as we contact Shao Leling again (Leling is too shou Shao continued), and attack from three sides, Cao Wei will definitely be defeated. It's just that as the admirable words say, it is difficult to get down overnight, but as long as it is besieged for a long time, how can there be a city in the world that cannot be overcome? ”

Wang Gong smiled: "Sir, don't be a fool, please tell the truth, in Mr.'s opinion, how many days will it take to conquer Guanggu with the three-way siege?" ”

Xu Wei was also honest, and sighed: "It has to be a year, and it can't be ......."

Wang Gong squinted at Xie Feng, and then waved his hand: "Sir, you can go down and rest first, and then pass on Mr. after I discuss it with the general." ”

After Xu Wei came out of the account, Xie Feng asked Wang Gong: "What else does Mr. have to discuss with me?" I was ordered by the governor of the capital to go north this time to intimidate Cao Wei, and I had no intention of confronting him unless he had the tendency to invade Xu Fang in the south. And the governor has never ordered me to recruit Qingzhou Haoqiang, if it is easy to do it, it is necessary, but if you want to besiege Guanggu for many years...... As Mr. said, I still want to settle this matter as soon as possible, so that I can go west to follow the governor, enter Henan, and restore the old capital......"

Wang Gong smiled: "If Su Jun doesn't send someone here, we naturally don't need to pay attention to it; Even if Xu Wei and others come to contact him now, how can he not accept it? The so-called 'God does not take it, but suffers from it'. ”

Xie Feng frowned and asked, "However, in the opinion of Mr., how should I reply to Xu Wei?" ”

Wang Gong replied: "Since Xu Wei has come to contact, Su Jun's thousands of soldiers and horses are at his fingertips, and it is a pity to abandon them." As General Shicai said, if you can easily defeat Cao Wei with Shao Leling and Su Jun, why not? However, if our army is tied up here, I am afraid that the governor's plan will be ruined. Therefore, Gong thought that he might as well do this and this, and this and that, to see if Su Jun was willing to obey him. ”

Xie Feng pondered for a while, and finally said hesitantly: "This matter is very big, and it must be reported to the governor for decision." ”

Wang Gong waved his hand and said: "General, don't you hear that 'the general is outside, and the king's order is not affected'?" If you ask the governor first, the exchange of letters will not stop for a day, if Su Jun sees us and others hesitate, if he turns to Cao Wei, what will he do? For the sake of today's plan, I can only ask the general to make a decision first, and if the governor does not allow it, then I can do it. ”

Seeing that Xie Feng was still hesitating, he immediately patted his chest: "If you are all punished by the governor, you are willing to shoulder it, and you will never affect the general!" ”

Wang Gong has always been used to being arbitrary, thinking that when he heard that Du Zeng had killed Hu Kang and joined the others, he did not send anyone to inform Tao Kan, so he went to persuade Du Zeng to do it anyway, which led to a meeting with Tao Kan and became a traitor. However, "the mountain is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change", although he suffered a big loss, Wang Gong is still difficult to change his habits, and he can't hold it when he sees a good opportunity, and he must get things done.

Therefore, under his repeated persuasion, Xie Feng finally had to agree to his request. So Wang Gong invited Xu Wei to come in again and said to him: "Our army went north this time, and it had no intention of attacking Cao Wei Pei Envoy Jun was ordered to crusade against Hu Lu, with the intention of Henan, and he had time to take care of Qingzhou?" Cao Wei is just a dry bone in the mound, I don't have to worry about it, I am waiting for this, but I want to coerce him, rotate and control the Yellow River crossing, and protect the flank of the army......"

When Xu Wei heard this, he couldn't help but be disappointed, so he wanted to take advantage of his tongue and lobby him, but was stopped by Wang Gong waving his hand. Wang Gong immediately said: "Since it is under the order of Pei Envoy, how can it be extraordinary? However...... "the words turned" Cao Wei ravaged Qingzhou, Su Lingjian refused to be a thief, and was able to resist it with a scattered pawn and a weak momentum, and he was really a pure minister of Jin. If you don't save the pure ministers, how can you hold high the banner of driving Hu Fudu, so that the world will return to the heart and the people will obey? Therefore, I intend to ask Su Ling to move south to Dongguan to stay temporarily to avoid Cao Ling's edge. Dongguan is the land of Xuzhou, if Cao Wei still dares to invade, how can Pei Xuzhou sit idly by? Even if the army is in Luo and does not return, there are still tens of thousands of guards in Guangling, Linhuai, Xiapi, and Pengcheng, and it is not difficult to rescue the north......"

In fact, whether Pei should have 10,000 troops left behind in the four counties, and whether he would go north to save Dongguan at that time, in fact, Wang Gong didn't know, he just lied casually.

"As for Cao Wei, I should personally say that he is anyway, even if he refuses to change his mind, he will not dare to go south to Su Ling in Dongguan, but he can accumulate grain in Tuntian and slowly recover, and he should be worry-free."

To put it bluntly, I don't have time to save you now, and it's impossible to fight Cao Wei with you, so what's in it for us? If you want to live, you might as well go south and join Xuzhou.

Xu Wei promised to go back and report to Su Jun, discuss it first, and then make a decision. Immediately, Wang Gong wrote a document for Xie Feng, and sent a fast horse to pass it to Pei Cai's camp after all, he had just been attached, and he hadn't even passed the inspection period, so he didn't want to be too arbitrary, cover his head and not report, and wait for the matter to be done; Besides, his prince doesn't have this authority, and Xie Feng is the main commander of this way.

Therefore, when the letter was delivered, Su Jun had not yet agreed to go south, and Wang Gong had not yet gone to Guanggu to see Cao Wei.

Pei Wei and Tao Kan read the letter together, and then with Pei Gai's approval, they stated the general content to the generals. Zhen immediately said: "I'm waiting enough to break Hu, Xie Feng doesn't have to come again, you can attack Guanggu, if you can kill Cao Wei, Qingzhou is the governor of Qing and Xu, and now there is only half of Xuzhou, it is not worthy of the name, how ugly!" ”

Pei Wei smiled: "Inspector Zhen is very knowledgeable, and he can use the words 'not worthy of the name', which is gratifying." Then he turned to Pei Gai and asked, "I don't know how Su Jun is like a person, so can you know who he is?" ”

Pei Wei was originally isolated in Liaodong, and he knew very little about the situation in the Central Plains, so he had to wait until he arrived in Xuzhou to make up for the class with the help of Bian, and he found out the situation in Xu, Yang, Yan, Henan, Jiang, Jing, Si, Hebei and other states. But with his status and status, it is difficult to notice Su Jun, who is just the leader of a few small dock forts in a remote area, with only a few thousand people under his command, and Su Jun's own rank is not high, and he is the highest county master, and even the current county order is self-proclaimed...... What qualifications does he have to get Pei Wei to pay attention to?

Therefore, Pei Gai asked Pei Gai, but in his original assumption, it was estimated that Pei Gai only knew his name, but he didn't expect Pei Gai to immediately pouting and laughing: "I know that this person is another Cao Weiye." ”

Pei Wei was stunned when he heard this, and then he realized that Pei Gai meant that Su Jun was quite ambitious, and he was at both ends of the first rat, and he might be like Cao Wei in the future, and he would be the male of the separation.

Pei Gai was also considering Wang Gong's suggestion, because he had not thought of recruiting Su Jun before. Although Su Jun is quite capable of fighting, and his background is low and his strength is weak, he may be able to summon him with a wave of his hand, but the problem is that he really doesn't have a good impression of this Su Zigao......

In the "Book of Jin", Su Jun is passed down with Wang Mi, Du Zeng, Du, Zu Yue, and even Sun En, who are both thieves and traitors, and have a very bad reputation. In fact, Guo Mo, whom Pei Caigang recruited, also ended up as a traitor, but he was purely forced to helpless

In the original history, Guo Mo later fled to Jiangdong and became a general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and once led his troops to resist Su Jun's rebels. When Su Jun was conferred the head, the court was afraid that Guo Mo would be difficult to control, so he recruited him as the right general and entered the court to guard, but Guo Mole was a border general, aiming at Yuhu, and did not want to go to Jiankang to do decorations, so the two sides gradually became suspicious.

Guo Mo and Pingnan General Liu Yin were not on good terms Liu Yin's staff officer Zhang Man and others despised Guo Mo's low background, and even met him shirtless, which coincided with Liu Yin's edict and refused to obey, Guo Ming was sure that he had a rebellion, so under the instigation of his subordinates, he killed Liu Yin. He dedicated Liu Yin's head to Jiankang, Wang Dao was scared, so he wanted to admit the established facts, who wanted to Tao Kan and didn't admit it, he immediately declared Guo Mo's crime, and sent troops to attack Wang Dao, so he had to take back the edict that planned to reward Guo Mo......

Investigating the original situation, although Guo Mo was guilty of unauthorized killing, he really had no intention of rebellion, it was purely the contradiction between the overseas Chinese and the southerners who forced him to a dead end, coupled with the weak Jiankang court, which made the Great Wall corrupt. Of course, Guo Mo also has a way to die, and later his army was defeated, Tao Kan took pity on him bravely, and sent Guo Yu to persuade him to surrender, Guo Mo himself agreed, but it was difficult to restrain the troops, and he stopped Zhang Chou and Song Hou in the camp, and after the defeat, Tao Kan was angry, that is, he was beheaded in front of the military gate......

Therefore, when the Tang Dynasty wrote the "Book of Jin", Guo Mo was not regarded as a traitor, but was passed on with famous generals such as Shao Xu and Li Ju. Su Jun is different, he is purely arrogant, ambitious, thinking that after Wang Dun's death, no one in Jiangdong is his opponent, so he brazenly united with Zu Yue, set off a counter-flag, and after the capture of Jiankang, he looted and killed, making the heavens angry and resentful. To put it bluntly, this guy really has a backbone in the back of his head, and he is cruel and tyrannical in his bones, no different from those Hu and Han warlords at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty.

Pei should compare Su Jun to Cao Wei, but in fact, it may not be appropriate, Su Jun's ability should be slightly higher than Cao Wei, so the chaos set off is also excessive. But when Pei Wei heard this, he smiled and said: "Even if it is a horse, there is something to be used, it just depends on who controls it." Now Su Jun is in a hurry, if he is willing to vote, it is not appropriate for you to refuse, so as not to lose people's hearts. "People don't have any bad deeds at present, what reason do you have to refuse them thousands of miles away? As soon as this gesture is put out, will anyone else be willing to vote for you in the future?

Pei Gai was still groaning, but Gao He next to him came out of the queue, bowed to the ground, and said: "The last general has an enmity with Su Jun, and please don't accept it!" ”

Regarding Gao He's background and experience, Pei should naturally be clear, but he couldn't think of it for a while, and when he heard this, he immediately bowed his head: "Since it is the prime minister's invitation, I will not accept Su Jun." ”

Who wanted Tao Kan to suddenly open his mouth and asked Gao He: "Su Jun has never killed Qing's parents, taken away Qing's wife and children, some small grudges, how can they be compared with national events?" Please also think twice. Then he turned to Pei Gai and arched his hand and said: "What Pei Wenji said is true, and you don't want to use that person?" In the past, I didn't need to say anything, but Du Zeng rebelled, and his narrow-mindedness can be known. However, it can only be used, so Tao is recommended to the envoy, but it should be stored inside, and it should not be used outside. If you use it externally, you want to be self-explanatory, and if you go against it, you will definitely go and make you think twice. ”

Tao Kan knows Wang Gong very well, knows what kind of character that person is, when there was a quarrel between the two, Wang Gong set off a catastrophe, and after seeing Tao Kan again, he refused to return, and wanted to coerce Tao Kan to recommend him to Pei Gaizheng's so-called "the king chooses his minister, and the minister also chooses his king", Wang Gong is determined that Tao Kan can't use his tricks, and he is not the master who can follow. Now Pei Caicai wants to use Wang Gong, if he slaps Wang Gong in the face immediately, is it possible for him to stay?

Pei Cai's face sank: "I don't want to be held hostage by others!" ”

Pei Wei waved his hand: "If this is not to hold him hostage, why should he coerce you?" However, we only look at whether we should do it or not, not whether it is satisfactory. If the ministers do what the lord wants, and what the lord wants, he is a mediocre lord and a slanderous minister. ”

You don't have to care whether Wang Gong is arbitrary or not, in fact, it can't be said to be arbitrary, he still wrote a letter to ask for instructions, and you don't have to be as Tao Kan said, if you don't care about what he said, whether Wang Gong will run away or not, the key depends on how things should be done. If what your subordinates say is unsatisfactory, you will all return the vote, isn't that self-righteousness? Then who will give you counsel and plan for you?

Pei Gai pondered for a while and looked at Gao He: "What does Qing say?" ”

Gao He was also thinking about Tao Kan's question just now, hesitated for a moment, and still replied: "But from the order of the governor." ”

Pei Wei said, "From Xie Du's book, Su Jun and others can be temporarily ordered to go south to Dongguan, but Su Jun must lead his elite to the west with Xie Du and join the army." If he refuses to go south, he needs no more attention; If he goes south and refuses to join the expedition, he can order Xie Du to encircle and suppress him, and sacrifice his head and Cao Wei. ”

Pei Gai couldn't help but sneer: "If he refuses to come south, sooner or later I will cut off his head and avenge Gao Qing!" "Give Su Jun one last chance, if you are willing to use it for me, if you don't, you won't have a chance in the future!

Pei should consider that since history has changed, maybe Su Jun will never have a chance to rebel again, and the Sima family can't control him, so I can't control him either? At this time, it is necessary to unite more forces that can be united to expand their own strength, if Su Jun finally takes the old path, it will not be too late to get rid of it at that time.
