Pei Hongce was stunned for a moment, and then doubted: "Really? ”

The corners of Fan Zigai's mouth hooked up a mysterious smile: "Of course, otherwise why did I let Chief Daxi only bring 5,000 people and give you 8,000 elite soldiers?" Pei Sanji, I'm very optimistic about you! ”

Pei Hongce laughed, turned around and left: "Very good, look at how my old Pei takes Yang Xuangan's head!" ”

Pei Hongce's armor leaves, with the sound of his walking touched the bell, and gradually disappeared into the distance, Fan Zigai's face gradually became gloomy, his son Fan Wenchao, who was standing aside, was a middle-aged man in his forties with a white face and long beard, wearing a suit of armor, and said disdainfully: "Father, this Pei Hongce is really unreasonable, the arrogant army will be defeated, I think, he and Nada Xi sent troops in good faith, and there may not be a good result." ”

Fan Zigai's eyes flashed coldly: "The fact that they don't have a bad old man in the city is the best result, they have been in the Eastern Capital for so long, just beating a few lower-level officials to erect a little power in front of these clerks, this is nothing at all, God has given us Pei Hongce such a powerful object, how can we let it go?" ”

Fan Wenchao's eyes were full of confusion, but there were no words to deal with, at this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside, as if many people were carrying something, the corners of Fan Zigai's mouth were hooked, he was sitting in a precarious position, and said in a deep voice: "Who is in the hall?" ”

Huang Junhan's voice came: "Tangzun, it's small, Huang Junhan." came with Wang Shangshu sitting on a soft couch. ”

Fan Zigai's heart moved, and he hurriedly walked down the big case, and at this time he saw a few strong men, carrying a soft sedan chair, and Wang Shichong had an ice belt on his head. Tightly wrapped. Soft in this palanquin. was carried up to the hall, and after seeing Fan Zigai, he coughed violently twice, and wanted to get up and salute, but Fan Zigai hurriedly stopped his action, and while holding his hand, he said, "Oh, Wang Shangshu." How are you, how are you so sick? ”

By the way, he felt the temperature of Wang Shichong's palm, and sure enough, it was like charcoal grilling, hot and hot, at this time, Fan Zigai was basically true, Wang Shichong was really sick, and he was very sick.

Wang Shi was inflated like a gossamer, with snot hanging on his nose, and said almost humming: "Xiaguan (Wang Shichong's criminal department is still half a level lower than Fan Zigai. Moreover, although the Eastern Capital is a temporary official position, it can be used as a scholar. It's even higher), the lower official's body is not angry, at home, at home for many days without getting better, always, has been unable to take care of official affairs, really, really ashamed. ”

Fan Zigai sighed, turned his head to Huang Junhan and said in a deep voice: "Huang Prison Leader, this official asked you to invite Wang Shangshu to invite him when he is healthy, he has become like this, how can you force people to come?" In case Wang Shangshu's illness worsens, can you afford it?! ”

Huang Junhan's face was like earth, and he just wanted to defend himself, but Wang Shichong said: "Don't, don't embarrass Huang Cell, it's the lower official, the lower official himself wants to come, Fan stays behind, now, now the military situation is like fire, the lower official, the lower official is dead, and he can't, he can't stay out of the matter." The situation of the war, how is the situation of the war? ”

Fan Zigai gritted his teeth and said: "An hour and a half ago, Henan Ling Daxi set off with five thousand elite soldiers to meet Yang Xuangan and Yang Shanyi's army from the Yellow River and Luoshui to the south, and just now, he will be the chief eunuch, Henan Zanzhi Pei Hongce, with eight thousand elite horsemen, to meet Yang Xuanzong in Baisimaban. The other troops were assembling near the eastern capital, and Ben Shuai wanted to ask Wang Shangshu to lead an army in person, thinking that the two armies would be backing up, but it seemed that it would not work. ”

Wang Shichong's eyes suddenly flashed green, he sat up straight all of a sudden, and said in a lost voice: "What, Fan Liushou, you mean, let General Daxi and General Pei divide their troops to meet the enemy?" ”

Fan Zigai nodded: "They didn't come together, Da Xi kindly saw that Pei Hongce was not there, so he volunteered to take 5,000 troops down to face Yang Xuangan, this official has no choice, because his troops, the official command is not moving, even if he forcibly orders, he may not listen, he has to let it go, and Pei Hongce's department is the same." Then General Pei just left, can you see? ”

Wang Shichong gritted his teeth: "No wonder, no wonder I saw General Pei arrogant and left in a hurry, without even saying hello to me, it turned out that he was going to send troops." It's just that it seems that the last general (now he starts to call the military position instead of his own position) that Pei Hongce is really not a general, and he is so greedy for merit, I am afraid, I am afraid that he will miss a big thing. ”

Fan Zigai's face changed: "What, General Wang thinks it's not good to send troops for this battle?" Pei Hongce only had to deal with more than 1,000 soldiers from the Yang Mansion, and Lian Mansion went over the mountains and mountains, no matter how bad it was, it wouldn't be any worse. ”

Wang Shichong sighed: "The Yang Mansion Army's troops are the elite who have followed Yang Su to fight the world for many years, and their combat effectiveness is so strong, even the Xiaoguo Army is on par, Pei Hongce's elite is just a Fanshangfu soldier, and they don't have such strong combat effectiveness. ”

Fan Zigai gritted his teeth: "Then according to General Wang's observations, what should I do?" ”

Wang Shichong's brows furrowed, his condition seemed to have become much better with his own concentrating and thinking, he was helped by a family member to sit up straight, and said: "It is impossible to recall Pei Hongce now, and he will not listen to the orders of the marshal, what we have to do is to clean up the mess as much as possible, how many soldiers and horses can be mobilized under the marshal now?" ”

Fan Zigai said: "Outside the eastern capital, the commander now has more than 15,000 troops in his hands, more than 10,000 internal guards in the imperial city, that is the soldiers and horses of the king of Yue, the commander has no right to command, in addition to seventy or eighty thousand troops, scattered in various places near the eastern capital, commanded by the generals, it is difficult to promote for a while, the commander has sent a herald to part ways and quickly send an order, so that it can quickly move closer to the eastern capital, as well as the general Wei of Daxingcheng, the commander has also sent a powerful messenger to ask the Xijing troops to send reinforcements to save the eastern capital in addition to pacifying Guanzhong. ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "The commander's response is very normal, the last general admires, now the strength of the eastern capital is less than 15,000, to defend the huge outer city, it is also insufficient, can no longer send reinforcements, and Pei Hongce and Da Xi goodwill If the two armies are defeated, even if the rear army responds, it will not be able to reverse the situation. ”

Fan Zigai laughed, lowered his body, approached Wang Shichong's ear, and said softly: "Don't worry, I have secretly built a hundred cannon flying stones and two hundred Wanjun divine crossbows, this time I will use Yang Xuangan to practice my hands!" (To be continued.) )
