Xun Guanniang's pregnancy, Pei should notify Xun Song as soon as possible, Xun Song and his wife were overjoyed, and Mrs. Xun simply proposed that she move over to take care of her daughter's living for the time being.

The key is that this child is too important, and whether the Pei Group can be stable for a long time will largely fall on this fetus whose sex is still unknown; And only if the Pei family is stable, his Xun family, especially Xun Song's branch, can keep his wealth for decades.

However, Pei Gai only agreed to the mother-in-law to come to the house to visit her daughter, and lived together for a few days, politely rejecting the old lady's desire to live until her daughter gave birth. Because the level of medical care is very low in these days, especially for gynecology, pediatrics, and obstetrics, witch doctors are mixed, and there are many unreliable conventions and customs; If those servant women come up with ideas, Pei should be easy to block, and if the mother-in-law comes up with an idea—for example, summoning a monk to come and recite the scriptures—it is inconvenient for him to refuse, right? It's better to cut off this kind of sprout from the root.

But then Xun Song called Pei Gai aside and asked him in a low voice: "The imperial court issued an edict the day before yesterday to crusade against the Southern ...... Sima Bao, I heard that Wen Yue is going to personally lead his troops to attack Kuaicheng in the near future? The scourge of ringworm and scabies, why bother to do it yourself? ”

Pei Gai smiled and replied: "Although Hu Song in Kuaicheng is a ringworm scabies, because of the lack of food, I don't dare to move the army, so I only lead three battalions to attack - the number of enemy and mine soldiers is similar, and I will go in person, so I am more sure-footed." ”

Xun Song said: "Since my daughter already has a body, Wenyue should not stay away for the time being, and it is better to send another farewell to the expedition." ”

Pei Gai replied casually: "It's only January or February, and it's not far away, don't worry." ”

Xun Song lowered his voice even more, and said word by word: "Be careful not to make a big deal about it. We sincerely look forward to the birth of this son, but I am afraid that some people may not be willing......"

Pei Gai was stunned for a moment, and then he was shocked: "In this Chang'an City, there is ...... Why? ”

Xun Song glanced at him with dissatisfaction: "You have to guard against it-then Wenyue stays in the mansion, or it can be preserved." ”

Pei Gai frowned and thought for a long time, in this world, he wants to die by himself, and he wants to have no queen, naturally there are many people, but in the current Chang'an City, is there still such a character or force? However, what Xun Song said is also reasonable, and it must be guarded against, if it was really thought of by himself who is unreliable, he would have been killed a long time ago, but he didn't know it, it was the most terrifying......

So I said a few perfunctory words for the time being, and hurried to Pei Wei's mansion to discuss with him. Pei Wei first congratulated Pei Gai, and then listened to Pei Gai talk about what Xun Song said, and couldn't help but bow his head slightly: "Xun Gong's old man's argument, you must not listen to the text." ”

Pei Cai said that if I don't personally lead the troops, the deployment will have to be readjusted, at least the troop battalion can't be moved in person-then you have to follow me all the time to protect it-the key is who is in charge? Handed over to Zhen Sui, I don't feel at ease.

Pei Wei thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Wen Yue, don't underestimate Zhen Sui, he really has hills and valleys in his heart, and he is not a brave person in vain." Pei Gai nodded, and said that I have similar feelings in recent days, but-"He is strategic, and he is often brave, such as Sun Ce, who has won a hundred battles, how can he be in vain?" However, once he was careless, he died at the hands of the villain...... "So I am very relieved to take Zhen Sui to fight, but if he is allowed to serve as the commander-in-chief...... is not afraid of his plan to fall into the enemy, but he is afraid that he will be ambushed by the enemy, or he will be happy to go into battle and kill him personally, so he will be sloppy in the overall situation.

Pei Wei said: "However, under the command of Wen Yue, only this person can be used - unless he is transferred from Feng Yi to Tao Shixing." As for Liu Yetang, it is even more difficult to pay for the task. Even if the three battalions are out of the front, they will not hurt their muscles and bones even if they are defeated, so why not try Zhen Sui? If you keep it around, you are afraid that it will cause trouble day and night, and it is not the way to raise a soldier. ”

If you don't let Zhen Sui take on the role of the front, then he will never be able to practice, and it is impossible for you to need the Metropolitan Governor to personally go out as soon as he encounters a conquest, right?

Pei should have thought about it for a long time, so he immediately summoned Zhen to come over and inform him of his wife's pregnancy first. Zhen Sui also showed a happy face, congratulated Pei Gai again and again, and then changed his words and said: "The Metropolitan Governor is still a few years younger than me, not only is he married, but he will have children, but I am still a single person - I once said that I would marry a wife for me, don't forget!" ”

Pei Cai smiled and asked: "Don't you really want to go to Qinzhou to find a suitable woman?" ”

Zhen Sui nodded and said of course - "I also told the governor of Dadu before, I want to ask for the daughter of a scholar as a wife, even if it is not as good as Pei and Xun, there should be a village and an industry in the local area, and it is best to have someone to be an official in the court, otherwise how can I match my current status?" I am a rough man, and I can't learn a few words no matter how much the governor urges, but if I give birth to a child, I always hope that my uncle's family has a well-educated person who can enlighten the child......"

Pei Caixin said that you are really far away...... Twisting his beard, he said slowly: "Since my wife is already alive, my father-in-law and uncle have advised me that it is not appropriate to stay away at this time...... However, if you are the commander, can you be guaranteed to win? ”

Zhen Sui was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly patted his chest and said: "I will do something, most of the governors and relax, I must capture Hu Song alive now, and chase and kill the defeated soldiers directly into the territory of Qinzhou, and scare the dog guts of Sima Bao!" ”

Pei Gai shook his head slightly: "I don't feel at ease with you." ”

Zhen Sui glared: "Does the Metropolitan Governor think that after a few months of no war, I will let go of all my skills?" This shows off his strength, so that the governor should not underestimate Zhen...... "As he spoke, he searched left and right, as if he wanted to find something heavy to carry and play.

Pei Caixin said that in the hall where I entertain guests, there are no barbells, stone locks or anything, what can I play with you? Immediately, Zhengse said to Zhen Sui: "You must rely on my three things, so that I can rest assured that you will be handsome." ”

Zhen Sui said with a smile: "Most of the governors, please say clearly, Hugh says three things, then thirty things, and I am not afraid!" ”

Pei Cai pinched his fingers and said slowly: "First, when the army is marching, you are not allowed to drink; Second, you must not hunt ......"

Zhen Sui hurriedly said No problem, although I am a good wine, it is not that I can't live without Huangtang; As for hunting, I hunt only when there is no one to fight, and if there are enemies to fight, I still hunt with fart.

"Third, sitting in the Chinese army, you must not personally go into battle to fight the enemy."

When Zhen Sui heard this, he couldn't help but crook his mouth, his face was embarrassed, and he quibbled: "If I can't take the lead, how can the soldiers still be willing to fight bravely to kill the enemy?" ”

Pei Gai said: "I also told you about the battle of Qin and Zhao Changping, although Zhao Kuo was surrounded, hundreds of thousands of troops were in hand, and they may not be defeated for a while, but he led the crowd out, and the middle stream was killed, and Zhao Nai's army surrendered. You must know that there are many healthy people in the world, and if the luck is not good, that is, a small pawn can kill the general. Besides, if you rush to kill in front, who will be in charge of the army? If you want to kill the enemy in battle, I will order others to be the commander, and you will take the lead. ”

Zhen Sui hurriedly waved his hand and said Don't mind, I finally got the opportunity to lead an army alone, who dared to snatch it from me after eating a leopard? I'm ...... Seeing that Pei Gai's face was not good, he quickly stopped his mouth, and then bowed his hand deeply: "Listen to the orders of the Metropolitan Governor...... Ah, I mean not to be allowed to rush into battle, not to choose someone else to be the commander! ”

Pei Gai earnestly taught him: "Your martial arts are unparalleled and unmatched, but you are just a general, not a handsome talent." In the past, Xiang Yu failed to learn swords, and wanted to fight against 10,000 people, but his uncle Xiang Liang taught him the art of war, but unfortunately he refused to learn. It is known that he is a general, a handsome, an enemy of 100 people and an enemy of 10,000 people, with different endowments and different learnings. After Xiang Yu's army was defeated, he led 28 cavalry to fight with the Han army on the bank of the Wujiang River, killing dozens of hundreds of people alone, but what could he do to make up for it? If he had studied the art of war in the past, why did he do this? It is to know that loneliness and courage cannot be feared. ”

Zhen Sui held back a lot of rebuttals, but he didn't dare to reply, so he had to respond. Pei Gai replied: "There is one more thing that you must also keep in mind......

Zhen Sui hurriedly said: "The Metropolitan Governor just said that there are only three things...... Pei Cai glared at him, so frightened that Zhen Sui didn't dare to speak, and then instructed: "The army is short of grain, don't be greedy, take down Kuaicheng, and re-enter the border of Qinzhou to show off your martial arts, don't go deep, so as not to continue the grain and straw, and be taken advantage of by the enemy." ”

Zhen Sui said don't worry, you can't fight when you're hungry, I still understand this truth.

After Pei Gai took care of it, he ordered Zhen to follow as the main general, leading the "Fire Robbery Camp" and the "Pengshan Right Battalion" to the west, and after meeting Xiong Yizhi's "Wulin Right Battalion", they attacked Kuaicheng together - for the sake of everything, don't order Pei Kai to supervise the three armies. Wen Lang was very annoyed that he couldn't get the opportunity to send troops, but as the governor of the department, he couldn't leave Pei Cai behind, and he couldn't help it-he hated Zhen Sui even more in his heart.

————————————

Zhen Sui was triumphant, led the troops out of Chang'an City, and headed westward. He first went to Huaili to meet Pei Kai, and then went to the cantonment of the bell, and summoned Yang Platoon Commander to come over and inquire in detail about the conflict that day. He saw that Platoon Commander Yang was very brave and liked it in his heart, so he simply dragged him into the "camp in the middle of the fire" and sent someone to guard the cantonment.

Then he went to the place where Pei Kai and Xiong Yizhi destroyed Hu Song, surveyed the terrain, and waited for Xiong Yizhi to lead the army to cross Wei. When they met, Zhen Sui smiled: "Old bear, I haven't seen you for a few months, you have eaten fat, haven't you rolled down from the mountain that day?" Xiong Yizhi hated this question, but he didn't dare to refute it, so he had to laugh twice and pass it perfunctorily.

Zhen then gave an order: "Fifty miles ahead is Kuaicheng, there is no need to wait for the siege equipment, I will rush to the headquarters and arrive at the city first......" Mo Huaizhong and Pei Kai, who were newly promoted to the "Pengshan Right Battalion" battalion governors, hurriedly persuaded and said: "The metropolitan governor has an order, and Governor Zhen cannot go into battle in person." Zhen Sui smiled: "I only said that I was not allowed to go into battle to kill the enemy in person, and I didn't say that I couldn't strike first - where I am is the Chinese army, and you can be counted together." ”

He felt that the Qinzhou soldiers were really weak, and Hu Song didn't seem to be able to do anything, so he hoped that he would rush to the city as he did in the past under Meiyang City, and hit the other party off guard, maybe the victory would be bigger. If the other party is not as good as the city, I will rush directly into it, which is much more interesting than slowly attacking with siege equipment outside the city.

So he personally sent more than 2,000 people to the "fire camp", marched for most of the day, and came to the city of Kuaicheng at dusk. Looking at it from a distance, the city gate was really not closed, Zhen was overjoyed, and was about to wave his army to launch a fierce attack, when he suddenly saw the banner on the city fall down, and then a sentry drove out of the city......

Zhen Sui was puzzled in his heart, he was not crazy, he couldn't say how cautious he was, but he was not really reckless, and hurriedly restrained the soldiers. Immediately galloped from the opposite formation, and after approaching, he presented an official document, saying: We are willing to surrender.

Zhen Sui's face turned green on the spot.

It turned out that Hu Song was defeated in the past, retreated to Kuaicheng, and the hearts of the people in the city were scattered, and they were shocked three times overnight - fortunately, Pei Kai and Xiong Yi's soldiers were limited, and they did not dare to chase far away, let alone attack the city. Hu Song was ashamed and annoyed, so he had to gather the heads of the people killed by the generals who had gone out of the city to loot and loot in the past few days, got more than 40 pieces, and sent people to Shangqi, falsely claiming to have repelled the attack of Chen Cang's soldiers, which was a capture.

Immediately, the imperial court issued an edict to crusade against Sima Bao, and Pei should have personally led the troops to conquer Kuaicheng. Hu Yan got the letter, and hurriedly sent someone to quietly run to inform Hu Song, suggesting that this distant uncle should surrender - "Now that the stability is owned by Pei Gong, how can we be enemies with it?" If the clan is implicated and the jade is burned, how will the uncle see his ancestors underground? ”

Hu Song hurriedly sent people to the east to investigate, and got the news that Pei should not come, so he changed to Zhen Sui as the main general, and led an army of 20,000 (claimed) to take Kuaicheng. Hu Song summoned the generals to discuss, and saw that everyone was cowardly, and some people directly proposed: The official army is powerful, so I might as well abandon the city and return to Shangtai. Hu Song knew that the city could not be defended, so he simply asked his nephew to hand over the letter of surrender.

However, it was written in the official document very high-soundingly, saying that I was originally a national general, and I was ordered to follow the king of Nanyang to protect Qinzhou, and it was my duty to come back to sit in Kuaicheng. However, since the imperial court has issued an edict to crusade against the king of Nanyang, of course I can't follow the rebels, and I will stay in Kuaicheng and not leave, which is specially for the imperial court to protect this county. Now that the official army has arrived, I want to go to Qinzhou to crusade against the rebels, so I will naturally open the city and obey the dispatch.

To put it bluntly, this is a righteous and bright matter, it can't be regarded as surrender, or even called it anyway, it's just a matter of re-accepting the vertical leadership of the imperial court.

Therefore, he did not take the initiative to go out of the city to see Zhen Sui—because Zhen Sui was inferior to him—but remained in the city, and only sent someone out to deliver a letter, saying that I had already cleaned up the camp, arranged food and grass supplies, and invited the army to station; I also lined up a banquet in the city and invited General Zhen into the city for a banquet.

Zhen came with a fierce momentum, but without a single knife or shot, he successfully opened Kuaicheng, but he was not happy at all in his heart - because he had no chance to make meritorious contributions, and he could not fight with a knife. Depressed, he simply refused Hu Song's banquet, saying that he would wait for the rear army to arrive and enter the city together.

That night, he stayed outside the city, and only sent some soldiers and horses into the city to control and choke the west gate. The next morning, Pei Kai, Xiong Yizhi, Mo Huaizhong and others led their troops to arrive, and Zhen Sui asked them: "I don't know what I mean, I went into the city and cut off the head of Hu Song with a knife, what do you think?" The Metropolitan Governor once talked about Han Xin, in the past, there was an old scholar who lobbied the Qi State to surrender, but Han Xin didn't know it, and still stormed the Qi land, and finally won the king Yu Qi...... That's what it's all about, right? ”

Pei Kai waved his hand again and again: "It can't be compared." In the past, the king of Qi was an enemy country, but now General Hu is an important general of the imperial court, and the edict only asks Sima Bao, and he doesn't care about it, how can he kill General Hu who came to surrender because of this? Pei Du should be careful not to do this, otherwise he will be punished by Pei Gong! ”

Zhen said casually, I knew you wouldn't agree, otherwise I would have done it last night......
