88, there are guests unexpectedly (above)
After the feast to celebrate the military exploits, the various departments in Yan Xing's army returned to normal, and Guo Yan, Fan Chou and others who were still detained in Chang'an and were nostalgic for the prosperity of the western capital, Yan Xing had already ordered all departments to withdraw the camp and return to the division the day after tomorrow, first enter Zuo Fengyi, and then cross the river and return to Hedong.
In this upheaval in Chang'an, with the troops in his hands, he took advantage of the situation and obtained the position of Hedong Taishou, which would never be possible in ordinary times.
Therefore, at present, instead of admiring fish in the abyss and nostalgia for this Chang'an City, which is surrounded by heroes and within reach, it is better to retreat and form a net, and go to Hedong as soon as possible under the banner of the righteousness of the imperial court to fulfill the interests of his side.
Near the day of the start of the army, there were guests in the city who came unexpectedly to pay homage to Yan Xing, who had been promoted to the position of general.
Pei Ji, who was young and dressed in Confucian clothes, stood in the open space in the camp, curiously looking at everything around him: the towering watchtower, the sturdy row of walls, the fierce fighting of Senming, and the orderly military tent······
On the way here, Pei Ji deliberately detoured to climb the heights, looking at Yan Xing's camp from afar, like an entrenched giant beast, but after entering the camp to find out, he felt that he had entered a chessboard, and the camp could hear the sound of cavalry gathering and soldier drills, but the armor soldiers around him were standing upright with spears, not moving at all, moving and static, complementing each other, obviously it was a large camp with 10,000 people, but it made people inexplicably feel a solemn and silent atmosphere.
Pei Hui looked at it, a huge military camp, orderly, like a chessboard with clear pieces, and where he was was was just a square on the chessboard. Just along the chessboard, the road in the camp passed through many military tents, and the patrolling armor soldiers, the light horsemen who gave orders, and the military officers under their command did their own thing, and there was no disorder in the slightest.
"Sun Ziyun's 'governing the crowd is like governing the widow's score!' , as seen today, governing the army is like one person, and he knows that the ancient art of war is not false, but I heard that this General Yan also became famous at a young age, but he didn't want to, and his army also has the style of an ancient famous general. ”
Pei Ji sighed secretly in his heart. At the beginning of the army, he drew the French style of the kingdom's camp, secretly studied, and then on the way with the army, he inspected the camp set up by Dong Zhuo, Huangfu Song, Xu Rong and others, combined with his experience of attacking the camp and defending the camp many times, and now he combines the strengths of all people, and has quite a lot of experience in building a camp in the village, and the camp built is naturally simple and appropriate, and it is orderly.
"Pei Jun, the general is invited!"
The voice of a Chinese military guard interrupted Pei Ji's thoughts, he reacted, hurriedly responded, and followed the guard in the direction of the big tent.
The closer I got to the big tent, the number of guards gradually increased. Pei Ji looked at such a majestic and murderous military atmosphere, and his heart also became awe-inspiring, and he was looking down to think about how to pay homage to this General Yan this time, how to live up to his mission and do a good job of the things entrusted by his father.
Unexpectedly, when he looked up, he saw that a burly general wearing big armor was standing at the door of the tent and waiting, and what he looked at was the direction he came from, Pei Ji couldn't help but tighten his heart, he originally thought that he was just an ordinary scholar, although in the name of his father and brother, but Yan Xinggui was a general, and he was able to meet him, he had already taken the time to surrender, but he didn't expect that Yan Xing would personally move outside the tent and greet him in person.
For a while, Pei Ji felt flattered, he held back the apprehension and excitement in his heart, stepped in front of the burly general, bowed and said:
"Wen Xi Pei Ji, I've seen the general!"
Waiting was naturally Yan Xing, the commander in chief of the army, he laughed, stepped forward, held Pei Ji's wrist affectionately, and said happily:
"I said that today's wind is harmonious, there will be a good guest coming to the door, and it is really the gentleman of the Pei family, who is coming, come, come with me and talk freely."
As he spoke, Yan Xing had already taken Pei Ji's arm and walked into the tent together, he saw that Pei Hui was a little restrained, and said with a smile:
"When I was in Hedong Pingbaibo, the Lai Zun clan helped a lot, in the past in the Jun family, I also talked with your two brothers very happily, and Ling sister, the younger brother also intersected, although you and I met, but I have heard of you in their mouths, I have heard of you for a long time, and now I am happy to see, it is really my young talent in Hedong!"
Pei Ji hadn't been able to get used to Yan Xing's sudden enthusiasm when he met him for the first time, and now he heard Yan Xing's praise again, and suddenly replied with some surprise:
"In the next many times from the two brothers' family letters, I heard that in Hedong, General Lai is brave, repeatedly broke the strong, the general Wen Tao Wuluo, recovered the city, pacified the displaced people, the people praised each other, although Hui is in Xijing, but also heard the good name of the general for a long time, today to see the general's respect, it is really a servant's luck!"
The two had just sat down as the guest of honor, and when Yan Xing heard Pei Hui's words, he immediately smiled and said:
"Haha, under the false name, how can I see the truth, Wenxiu is my Hedong talent, and I have a tacit understanding with the Zun family, why do you need to see the outside like this."
Speaking of this, Yan Xing paused, his eyes were also fixed on Pei Ji, and said casually:
"I have heard for a long time that Wenxiu is a young talent, and this time he came to my camp, I don't know what happened?"
"In the words of the lower district, how dare you disturb the general, Hui came this time, in addition to paying homage to the general, he was also ordered by the king of the family to invite the general to the city for a banquet."
At this time, Pei Ji also slowly adapted to Yan Xing's unexpected enthusiasm, he regained his usual calmness, and after finishing the invitation, he also remembered his father's advice before leaving, and secretly noticed the change in the face of this Yan general.
Yan Xing did have some subtle changes on his face when he heard this, he treated Pei Ji with extra courtesy today, not for no reason, he was appointed as the Taishou of Hedong, and Wang Yi would also be recruited into the court, when the old and the new were handed over, plus the Xiliang Army also had bad relations with the Fan family and the Wei family with the big surnames of Hedong, and the situation in Hedong would inevitably be turbulent at that time.
Wen Xi Pei's family is in Hedong, which is quite prestigious, and Pei Qian and others have secretly delivered grain and grass to themselves when they pacified Baibo and the lack of military food, helping them get through that difficult time, not to mention that they still have a friendship with Pei Shu.
On the basis of these relationships, the Pei family was the first group of people to be wooed by Yan Xing after he took office as the Taishou of Hedong. Therefore, although he is still in Sanfu, Yan Xing's attitude towards Pei Ji, the son of Pei Mao and the younger brother of Pei Qian, is cordial, and he just wants to take advantage of this to release a message of goodwill and solicitation to Pei Mao and Wenxi Pei's family, who are officials in the court.
It is expected that the Pei family also has this idea, otherwise Pei Mao would not have sent Pei Ji to pay homage to him.
It's just that Yan Xing didn't expect that the enthusiasm of the Pei family was as good as his own, and it could even be said that he treated each other with hospitality, the head of the Pei family, Pei Mao, who had been an official in the court for many years, knew the way of Tao obscurity, and would send his son Pei Ji to his camp at such a joint to come to his camp and take the initiative to invite him to the city for a banquet.
According to Yan Xing's previous cognition, even if the Pei family had the heart to contact him, he would not be so direct and let Pei Mao, the head of the family in Chang'an, come forward in person, but would contact him through Pei Qian, Pei Hui, and even Pei Shu and others in Hedong.
It seems that there must be something unusual about this banquet.
