Chapter 29, the front and the back
On that day, Pei Gai said goodbye to Zhi Quliu and returned to his residence with Pei Xiong, and as soon as the door was closed, Yun'er came to pass Pei's order and asked Pei to go to the main room to meet. Sure enough, as soon as they met, Pei asked, "What did Wen Yue do for the Hu people?" I saw that the six expressions of the subordinates were hesitant, is it difficult to do nothing? Is it over now? Can there be damage? ”
Pei Gai hurriedly surrendered his hand: "Aunt Lao is worried about it - it is not difficult to say it, it is not easy to say it, but the matter is over, and the nephew is not injured." ”
He originally didn't have any family affection for Pei's family, not only because his soul didn't belong to this world, even if he still had the old Pei Gai in his body, after all, Pei's family was not his aunt-in-law, and he married into the Sima family early, and the two sides often rarely met once after many years, where did the family affection come from? The only thing that maintains the relationship between the two is etiquette, and there is no emotion at all.
Pei Shi was willing to take a risk that day to save Pei Gai, why was she willing to do this, Pei Gai really broke his head and couldn't figure it out. Perhaps the ancients were much more attached to their families and dependents than modern people, right? The branches of the Pei family in Hedong, the most prosperous are the long room Pei Qian to Pei Wei, and the grandsons of Pei Hui in the third room (including the princess Pei of the East China Sea), but Pei Hui's grandchildren such as Pei Bao, Pei Dun, Pei Shao, Pei Xian, etc., most of them served as magistrates or entered the shogunate of the vassal king, and occasionally there were officials in the Middle Dynasty, and they were all dismissed. Pei Wei is both respectful and famous, and he was harmed by Sima Lun and Sun Xiu, and he was wronged in the sea, so rescuing his orphans may be the highest moral norm - besides, he is the former patriarch of the Pei family.
If Pei Gai had saved Pei Gai that day, hoping to run away with this nephew, Pei Gai would not have been so moved, but Pei Gai would have disappeared immediately, for fear that a woman of his own would slow down Pei Gai's escape, which is really giving up the hope of life to others and putting death in danger...... There is even a fate more terrible than death, left to himself. Pei Gai was born unable to stand this, couldn't stand the kindness of others and had no way to repay, and couldn't stand the danger of others in order to save himself, so after a fierce ideological struggle, he would stop fleeing and pretend to surrender to Hu, in order to save Pei's life and reputation.
But so far, he is only out of gratitude to Pei, and he has nothing else to think about. It wasn't until he lived in Xuchang City that Pei summoned himself several times to interrogate, and at first he was a little angry—who told you to run back from the Stigma Festival—but after a long time, only care remained. Although Pei should consider that Pei's feelings for himself may also contain a certain amount of dependence, the main body should be purely out of the same family affection of the elders to the younger generations, and Pei should not be a cold-blooded animal, so he will naturally not be indifferent.
For example, this time Pei summoned him and asked first: "What are you doing for the Hu people?" But then I asked, is it difficult for Zhi Quliu to do what he wants you to do? Will you be able to do it without danger? The meaning of concern is beyond words. When Pei Cai heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little sour, and hurriedly hid the past.
If she has done so to me, I will keep her peace and joy all her life. It's a pity that although the two sides are not of the same generation, the age difference is actually about ten years old, according to the perception of this life, Pei's is a, and she can be just young in the next generation, Pei should really not treat her as an elder...... It's better to treat her as a sister, and it's okay to accept her in your heart.
He stepped back from Pei's face, came to the courtyard, and sat on the Hu bed to try to sort out today's adventure in order to sum up the lessons. But after sitting for less than a quarter of an hour, he heard someone call for the door—not from someone else, but from Zhi Quliu running again.
Pei should be very strange, the sun is still high, it is not dusk, why are you early? What's the matter? As a result, as soon as the two sides met and let them enter the room, they hurriedly asked: "Ask Mr. Pei, what is the story of 'talking on paper' during the day?" ”
Pei Gai was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then smiled slightly bitterly, and said Okay, you really don't have to worry about you having no ancient things to listen to - let's start with the competition between the countries and the great war between Qin and Zhao...... How, do you know the Qin Dynasty? Do you know that Zhao Guo was originally Qin's enemy? Speaking of Zhao Guo, we have to talk about the father of Zhao who is 'Hufu Riding and Shooting'......
——————————
Shi Letong led the main force to leave Xuchang and march north, in the middle of April of this year, about two years later, Pei's aunt and nephew practiced riding in the horse farm on this day. Pei Gai is young after all, and he is also smart, and although he didn't touch those "stone locks" during this time, he also used the exercise methods he heard in his previous life to take time to do gymnastics, running, and sit-ups in the courtyard every day, and his physical strength has improved, so his riding skills can be said to have become a small success.
Of course, this Xiaocheng means that he can not only walk and run slowly when he straddles the saddle and holds the reins, but even if the mount gallops, he will not fall off casually in a quarter of an hour or two. As for loosening the reins, relying on both legs to control the mount, and even holding the equipment in his hands, fighting immediately, etc., Zhi Qu Liu is a pediatrician, but the current Pei Gai still doesn't even dare to think about it.
Therefore, Zhi Quliu no longer instructed him—since the apprentice had already started, how high he could finally achieve was all dependent on his own diligence and hard work, and the master could no longer help—but he was still watching by the side according to his habit, casually spreading out a felt mat, sitting cross-legged on it, and listening to his subordinates while sipping a wine bowl.
Pei Gai and Pei Shi rode a Mercedes-Benz side by side, just two laps, Pei Shi was already weak and weak, and was forced to go down to the ground to rest for a while, Pei Gai was still sitting on the saddle, was thinking about whether to continue to run a few laps, and suddenly a glance out of the corner of his eye, he saw a scribe pacing in from the sidelines.
Although Pei Gai had never seen this person, he often heard Jian Dao and Zhi Quliu mention his appearance, so he could roughly guess that this was Cheng Yao Cheng Ziyuan. I saw Cheng Yao swaggering to Zhi Quliu's side, and then took out a plate from his arms, and said loudly: "Luoyang, there is a messenger to ......."
Pei Gai couldn't help but stop his mount, and turned over and dismounted, only a little more than a zhang away from Zhiqu Liu and Cheng Yao, and the sound could be heard. Seeing Zhi Qu Liuyi jumping up, he asked eagerly: "Could it be that the war has changed?" ”
Cheng Yao glanced at Pei Gai obliquely, and then handed the plate to Zhi Quliu. Zhi Quliu didn't reach out to pick it up, scratching his head a little embarrassedly: "I can't read a few words, Ziyuan can retell the content directly." Then he beckoned to Pei Gai: "Mr. Pei, come here." He introduced to Cheng Yao: "This is Mr. Pei, who was newly recruited by the lord, have the two not met yet?" ”
Cheng Yao still glanced at Pei Gai, but he didn't salute, but just said to Zhi Quliu: "At the end of last month, the former army of Huyan (the former general of the army Hu Yanyan) has led the army to Luoyang. At the beginning of this month, all the armies arrived, Ding Youri, Wang Zhengdong (Wang Mi, the general of Zhengdong) and Huyan Qianjun Ke Xuanyang Gate, entered the South Palace, and ascended to the front hall of Taiji......"
Zhi Quliu stroked his hands, laughed and interrupted: "So many words, Ziyuan only said that he has been Luoyang, isn't it?" It's a pity, is it Wang Mi and Hu Yanyan's advanced city? The lord still failed to grab the first credit......" Without waiting for Cheng Yao to reply, he suddenly turned to Pei Gai and shouted: "Mr. Pei said that he will be Luoyang in March, and he is really clever and clever, and everything is missing!" ”
Pei Cai smiled faintly and didn't pick up his words. Cheng Yao couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
Zhi Quliu then turned to Cheng Yao again and asked eagerly, "What about Lord Jin?" Death or flight? ”
Cheng Yao raised his voice and said: "The good general learned that the Jin lord wanted to go to Chang'an, but on the way, he was held by our army, and he has become a prisoner. As he spoke, he glanced at Pei Gai out of the corner of his eye.
I heard that I finally attacked Luoyang and captured Emperor Jin, and I was overjoyed that I was invincible, and applauded again and again: "Okay, good, I want to have a big banquet today, and celebrate well!" Pei Cai was not shocked, but turned his face slightly, and looked at Pei Shi who was resting in the corner of the racecourse from a distance, and said that she probably didn't hear it, if she knew that the Western Jin Dynasty was going to die, I don't know what kind of expression she would do? Fortunately, there is a light veil to cover the face, even if you are afraid and mourning, others can't see it......
Just thinking like this, I heard the voice of the side remembering the words: "Qing is about Hedong Pei Wen?" Greetings for a long time, and please forgive your sins. When he turned his head, he saw Cheng Yao smiling and bowing his hand to himself.
The so-called "stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person", besides, Pei Gai and Cheng Yao have been firing guns in the air, and they have not torn them in person, so when they saw each other treating each other politely, Pei Gai naturally returned the favor: "Ziyuan is a senior, and it is right for me to go to the meeting." Of course, this is just a polite remark, and neither of them can speak for themselves.
Cheng Yao took a step forward, and actually stretched out his hand and grabbed Pei Gai's arm: "General Zhi Yun is arranging a banquet today, and Wen Yue should naturally attend, I want to pay tribute to Qing Qing to thank you for the work of helping to hear the official document the day before yesterday, hahahaha." Then he burst out laughing.
Pei Gai gently broke free of the other party's hand, and could only greet him with a faint smile: "Let's wait for me to send my aunt back to rest first, and then come to disturb Ziyuan's bar." He wondered in his heart, why did this person stand in front of him? What is he holding back?
Cheng Yao really wanted to suffocate it, but the problem has not been held out for so many days. He thinks very highly of himself, he only admired Zhang Bin in the "gentleman's camp", and even Xu Guang, who has a similar name, he may not put it in his eyes, so this time he shoulders the heavy responsibility of the deputy to stay behind, he is a big and small thing, and he is almost too busy to sleep - compared to Zhuge Kongming back then, I am afraid it is not much better. So, where is the time and energy to always set Pei Cai?
Since he has failed twice, it is like tasting the enemy in battle, knowing that the other party is not easy to get along with, so unless he has been planning for a long time and has a chance to win, Cheng Yao will not make a move easily. When he received the official letter from Luoyang this time, he came to the racecourse to report to Zhi Quliu that he knew, of course he knew why Zhi Quliu stayed here, and knew that Pei should be there, so he thought on the way, what kind of expression would the villain make when he learned that the Jin family was destroyed and the Jin lord was captured?
So when reporting, Cheng Yao has been peeking at Pei Gai's expression, hoping to gain insight into his color and then peek into his heart. The result was greatly unexpected by Cheng Yao, Pei was completely indifferent, as if it was none of his business at all-hey, hey, you were still a Jin minister a few months ago, and you knew that the capital was conquered and the emperor was captured, didn't you even have the slightest sadness? At least you've got to look a little shocked, right?
Even in response to the general trend, this time the Hu Han army has a very high chance of besieging Luoyang, and even Pei Gai himself has calculated that Luoyang will be in March, but he can really catch Emperor Jin, which is something that no one dared to hope for before. If Emperor Jin escaped, he could escape into Guanzhong, where there were still tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and Hu Han could not say that he had achieved all his success; And once Emperor Jin was captured, even if the Jin army from all walks of life supported one or two successors to come out, it would be difficult to restore the prestige, and the Hu Han army might only have some finishing work to do next, pacifying the world, just around the corner!
You don't feel anything about such a big thing? Is this man stupid?
Pei Gai was young after all, and he might not be mature enough, but he definitely couldn't be stupid - otherwise it would be a complete joke for Shile to recruit him. Although Cheng Yao doesn't know Pei Gai, he knows Shi Le, and believes that Shi Leken may not be a great talent when he recruits into the "gentleman's camp", but he will never be an idiot or a vase. So speculating on Pei Gai's performance, there is only one possibility-
He was already very disappointed in the Jin family, he was sincere in subduing Shile, so he only paid attention to whether Shile made the first contribution in this battle. And since Shi Le failed to enter Luoyang City first, and the first merit was obtained by Wang Mi and Hu Yanyan, what difference does it make whether to hold Emperor Jin or not? Just like the breeze blows on the horse's ear.
Previously, Pei Gai said the word "lord", Cheng Yao, like everyone else, only regarded him as a flattering villain, and didn't pay much attention to it; Later, I knew that this word had a foundation, and it was rare and strange for me, and I heard that Zhang Bin took care of Zhi Quliu before leaving, and he wanted to take good care of Pei Gai, so he decided that this person was not strong, and he might be abandoned by Shi Le at some point. That's why he dared to suppress Pei Gai and wanted to kill the other party's arrogance. But now it seems that he has thought about it, Pei should be sincere and obedient, and Shi Le will definitely be reused after he returns!
