In the vicinity of Weicang, hundreds of Hu cavalry under the subordinates of Jiao'an intercepted thousands of Jin soldiers head-on, and after only one round of charge, the Jin army completely collapsed, and even the people who drove the car, the nobles and their slaves on the car, and even the people who followed, nearly 10,000 people soon became prisoners.

After inquiring, it turned out that after hearing the news of Sima Yue's death, He Lun, the general of the right guard, and Li Yun, the general of Long Xiang, knew that the destruction of the army was imminent - although it was not destroyed by Shi Le at that time, but the military power fell into the hands of Wang Yan, so Luoyang could not be defended, so they kept Sima Yue's whole family, full of royal goods, and quietly left Luoyang, wanting to escape back to the East China Sea. Many courtiers and common people also brought their families and mouths to follow their requests to escape from the dead place in Luoyang as soon as possible.

They also knew that Shi Le's army was in Xuchang, and they deliberately took a detour from the north of Xuchang, and they were frightened along the way, and finally passed through Weicang, turned south, and thought that they had left Shi Le behind, and their spirits had just relaxed, but they didn't expect Hu Jun to rush out from the southwest......

Xuan An asked clearly, and immediately came to report to Shile, saying that He Lun had died in battle, and Li Yun had fled without a trace, but he had captured Sima Yue's son Sima Bi, what should I do? Did you just slaughter them all? Shi Le said with a smile: "Anyone surnamed Sima cannot be kept, but he can be beheaded; If the court official is more than 1,000 stones, he can also be killed if he abandons the king and flees. As for the rest...... Although it is not far from Xuchang, it is not easy to store so many goods temporarily, and it always needs to be carried. "The order is to let those captured Jin soldiers and ordinary people carry their belongings, and if they dare to disobey, they will be stabbed again.

"In Ningping City before, before I could restrain the troops, I killed all the Jin people, and only dozens of women were left, and the generals were not enough. Nowadays, many of them are dependents and servants of the royal palace, regardless of men and women, and they can be rewarded for meritorious soldiers...... "You have the greatest merit, you can choose first." ”

The generals were overjoyed and thanked them one after another.

In the evening of the same day, the army camped south of Weicang and on the bank of Weishui, and first had a fast horse to Xuchang to inform the news of Shile's imminent return, and asked the soldiers in the city to be vigorous and strong, straighten out the materials, and prepare for the northern expedition in advance.

——————————

Pei Gai observed these Hu cavalry coldly, and saw that they were very loose when they marched, and there was almost no array, but once they changed to a combat state, they cooperated with each other very tacitly - to put it bluntly, although the discipline was not very strict, the organization was quite good. Of course, compared with the modern national army in later generations, the organizational power is also scum, but compared to the Jin army in this year, it is undoubtedly like a divine soldier.

But think about it again, Shi Le brought out the elite of the army this time, all of them are veterans of a hundred battles, such a backbone, it is estimated that there are only four or five thousand top of the sky, he doesn't believe that all the soldiers in Xuchang City are so strong, and there are tens of thousands. In these years, if there are tens of elite horsemen who can fight in general, they will definitely be rampant in the world, and he Shile will not have to fight a lifetime of war, and he has not been able to completely unify the north......

When it was time to set up camp, these Hu people were even more scattered, and the tents were one east and one west, and there was no clear plan at all. However, Xuan An personally commanded his own soldiers to dig a trench outside the camp and insert a rejecting horse, and the defense work was done meticulously, and if ordinary soldiers and horses wanted to sneak attack, it would undoubtedly be quite difficult.

Usually near dozens of tents, a horse shed will be temporarily set up to take care of the mounts, and the shepherd slaves will be responsible for feeding them at night. In fact, most of these herdsmen were old Hu who was born as a soldier, but they were too old to charge at the front line, so they took over the work of taking care of the horses.

The shepherd slave in the headquarters of Yu'an was probably in his early forties, but his face was like dried orange peel, and some people believed that he was over sixty years old just by looking at his appearance—of course, this man in his sixties definitely did not have his physique and strength. This shepherd slave didn't know Chinese at all, but he probably had been taken care of by Xuan An, and he was quite polite to Pei Gai, he first settled more than fifty war horses, and then came to pick up Pei Gai, led the rope, and tied Pei Gai firmly to a wooden post.

Soon after leaving, the shepherd slave returned from the camp, placed a bowl of water and two pieces of thick dough in front of Pei Gai, and then untied one of his hands, and watched with his long knife. Pei Caixin said Look at your physique, even if you don't have a knife in your hand, I can't beat it at all, why be so vigilant...... Is it because he escaped once during the day? With a slight wry smile, he immediately took bread to eat and brought water to drink.

He had also thought about going on a hunger strike, but as soon as he thought about it, he had eaten and drunk enough to escape, and if he was really half starved to death, it would be tantamount to completely cutting off his way of life - although the way of life is slim, he should not give up completely.

After eating and drinking, he was relieved under the supervision of the old herdsman, and was re-tied when he was finished. The old shepherd left for a while, and when he came back, his steps were a little staggering, as if he had drunk some wine, and he deliberately smiled at Pei Gai and made a few gestures, which probably meant:

Today's victory and reward for drinking some good wine, it's so pleasant!

Pei Gai didn't know whose team the Jin army was that had just been destroyed, but judging by the situation—mainly the looting of the Hu soldiers—there should have been a lot of property in the army, could it be that they even brought good wine with them when they marched? If it was Hu Ren's own drink, it is estimated that the old herdsman would not be so excited.

Immediately, the old shepherd slave lay down in the stable, and it was only more than two meters away from Pei Gai, and it was not long before a heavy snoring sounded. Pei Caixin said that this was a great opportunity, but it was a pity...... How can this rope be broken or broken free? Will your brother die if he loosens his ties?

After trying hard for a while, but it was useless, and in frustration, he felt sleepy, and was about to fall asleep with his back against the wooden pillar as usual, when suddenly, he faintly heard a faint sound of footsteps in his ears. Pei Gai barely opened his eyes, and by the dim starlight and the distant bonfire, he saw a dark shadow tiptoe out from behind the stable.

He was puzzled in his heart, and his eyes widened, and he finally saw that it was a woman. The woman was obviously coming for herself, and upon careful distinction, she found that the other party was of medium height, with her hair pulled up high, and was wearing a set of coarse cloth clothes, like a servant of someone's family. Eventually, the woman came to her, glanced at the snoring old shepherd slave, and then crouched down on her knees.

The two faces were so close to each other that they looked at each other. Pei should see that the other party is about thirty years old, his eyes are red and swollen, he may have just cried, the more he looks, the more he feels that this woman looks quite familiar, theoretically he should recognize it, but unfortunately he can't remember it.

Pei Gai's memories in this life should be hidden in the depths of his mind, and he must think carefully before he can gradually unearth them, but he has only been thinking about how to escape, or how to die, and he has no time to recall the past - anyway, sooner or later, he will die, is there any point in figuring out the affairs of the Pei family?

He was observing the woman, and the woman was also looking at him, and after a breath or two, he suddenly opened his mouth and called in a low voice: "Wen Yue ......"

Pei Caixin said that the two of us really know each other, but who are you? Staring at the woman, she still couldn't remember.

I heard the woman continue: "I heard that Wen Youyou'd rather die than be a thief, and you are worthy of being my Pei descendant...... "Pei Caixin said that you are also surnamed Pei?" Or did you marry into the Pei family with another surname? He didn't understand what to call or how to answer, so he stared at each other in a daze, but didn't speak.

Fortunately, the woman didn't ask him what he meant, but just sighed faintly: "In the past, I persuaded Brother Ru to go to Jianye with the descendants of Wang Xuantong, but Brother You refused to go, can you regret it now?" Speaking of this, there seemed to be tears in his eyes again.

Pei Gai still sat there in a daze, his mind spinning around, trying to understand the meaning of the woman's words. "Go to Jianye ...... together", Jianye, that is, Nanjing in the future, ah, there will be "wild grass and flowers by the Vermilion Bird Bridge, sunset slope at the mouth of Wuyi Lane", there are Nandu scenery, smoke and clouds of the Six Dynasties...... Should I have gone to Jianye with some "descendants of Wang Xuantong"? Isn't it possible to temporarily hide from the soldiers, and maybe live this meaningless life without disaster or difficulty? Why not, why not?! "Brother Ru refuses to go", why is the guy named Pei Song or Pei Chong so visionless? And why did the original owner of this body listen to his brother so much?

As he was pondering, he suddenly felt a tingling pain in his hand, and then he suddenly realized that the woman had taken out a small dagger and was trying to cut the rope on her hand. Pei Gai hurriedly gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and with a slight struggle with his hands, he had torn off the rope.

Immediately, the woman held the dagger upside down, forced it into Pei Gai's hand, and whispered in her mouth: "Brother Ru went to Pengguan to persuade Chen Wu to help defend Luoyang, if Wen Yue can escape, he can go to the meeting-don't convince Daowen that the Central Plains is constantly fighting, and it is best to flee to Jiangdong." ”

Pei Cai held the dagger firmly in the palm of his hand and asked, "You...... Run away with me? ”

The woman held out a finger and put it on her lips: "Shh...... I'm a woman, how can I escape? Thou shalt be careful, if I die here, how will I have the face to go underground to see Julu Chenggong in the future? Then he straightened up and glanced at the old shepherd slave lying beside him, and then he went backwards and disappeared into the darkness step by step.

Pei Gai was stunned for a moment, almost unable to believe what had happened to him—was this a dream? Is this a chance to get out of the jaws? No, no, this is still the camp of the Hu Han army, how can it be so easy to escape...... So run away? Of course, if you want to escape, even if there is only a 1 in 10,000 chance, you must firmly grasp it!

He stood up cautiously, shook his numb legs slightly, and was about to tiptoe out of the stable, when suddenly the snoring in his ears died down instantly. Hurriedly turned his head to glance, and saw two dark stars flickering not far away - those were the eyes of the old shepherd, and the guy had woken up!
