Let's say that after Pei Qian negotiated peace with Liu Zhang, he turned to lead a large army to conquer Shixie and Shiyi of Hepu, which were entrenched in Jiaozhi and Jiuzhen counties.

Shi Xie originally did not invade each other, and also established a relatively friendly relationship between them, but since Liu Zhang's army entered and occupied Wuling, Shi Xie did not pay any attention to Pei Qian's request to send troops to help, and there was a trace of rift in the relationship between the two sides, and then later, Pei Qian was appointed by the imperial court as the assassin of Jiaozhou, Pei Qian ordered the county guards from all over the country to come to visit, in addition to Cangwu and Nanhai two counties Taishou Deng Zhi and Jiang Wan, other counties such as Jiaozhi, Hepu, Jiuzhen, Rinan, Yulin five counties were all ignored, didn't take his Jiaozhou assassin history in his eyes at all.

Not only that, Shi Xie also pretended to be the assassin of Jiaozhou, and led the army of the five counties to attack Shi'an County, Wuling County, where he was located, although Shi Xie also pieced together an army of tens of thousands of people, but the combat effectiveness was really not strong, plus Shi Xie was only a literati, and he was not good at commanding troops at all, so Pei Qian led the army into Shi Xie's camp overnight, and a night attack quickly defeated the tens of thousands of troops, and Shi Xie had to lead the army to retreat in shock.

After that, Pei Qian commanded an army of 10,000 people, ready to take advantage of Shixie's defeat and capture Jiaozhi in one go, but he didn't expect that although he captured Yulin County lightly, he encountered Shixie's ambush in the process of attacking Jiaozhi non-stop, and the army was defeated.

It's not that Pei Qian doesn't know the art of war or is defenseless, mainly because there is a dense jungle from Yulin to Jiaozhi, and the army can't be gathered together, so they can only scatter and advance separately, but because they are not familiar with the terrain, they are either lost in the direction, or they are killed by the enemy army hidden in it, seeing that there are two or three thousand people lost in this battle, Pei Qian had no choice but to order the withdrawal of troops.

"No wonder this old guy Shixie dares to plot a separatism, it turns out that the environment in Jiaozhi is so bad, it seems that he can only send heavy troops to Yulin in the future." Pei Qian sighed helplessly and said to himself.

In the following days, Pei Qian had no choice but to send troops to garrison Linchen, Anguang, Alin and other counties to defend against the invasion of Shixie of Jiaozhi and Shiyi of Hepu.

Although the Shixie brothers suffered a setback in the war and did not dare to go north, but sitting back and watching the division of the four counties and disobeying the dispatch, he felt that he had done a bit of a bad job in Jiaozhou, and he couldn't live up to the trust of the lord Liu Qi in him.

On this day, Pei Qian was thinking hard about the strategy of breaking the enemy in the study, and suddenly heard that Pei Yan, the lieutenant of the middle military under his command, reported to him: "Lord Qiqi, the lord sent a messenger to see the lord, saying that there is an important arrangement. ”

"Oh? The lord sent someone to see me at this time, what is the big deal? Although Pei Qian had doubts in his heart, he still got up and ordered Pei Yan to invite the messenger in.

After the messenger saluted Pei Qian, he handed him an envelope, and then said, "My lord, my lord has sent you a plan for leveling the toes, and I ask you to read it yourself." ”

"What? The lord actually has a clever plan to calm the crossing? After Pei Qian heard what the messenger said, he immediately took the envelope excitedly, took it out and looked at it, and then he was convinced: "I really didn't expect that there would be these wonderful equipment, haha, as long as I have these equipment, I will definitely be able to calm down this time." ”

However, Pei Qian immediately frowned and asked the messenger, "I don't know when the compass that the lord said will come?" ”

I saw the messenger bow down and say, "The lord wants to tell the lord that Lord Huang is hurrying to make the compass, and it is estimated that it will take a month at most to transport it to Yulin." ”

"Hehe, okay, thank the lord for me." After Pei Qian saluted the messenger, he ordered someone to lead the messenger down, entertain him well, and then immediately ordered someone to send Shamoke to see him.

Today's Shamoke is already the first brave general under Pei Qian's tent, loyal to Pei Qian, heard that Pei Qian was looking for him, hurriedly came, and said to Pei Qian: "I don't know what the adults have to tell you to find the end of the future?" ”

"Hehe, the lord knows that you have worked hard and are loyal, so I specially named you as the general of the barbarian Zhonglang, and rewarded you with ten thousand dollars, this is the lord's order, you can take it. As for the reward, you can go directly to the treasury and receive it. ”

"Thank you, my lord." Although he had never seen Liu Qi, Shamoke had heard about Liu Qi's heroic deeds from Pei Qian, and now when he saw that the lord had personally rewarded a barbarian general like himself, he was already grateful in his heart, and he was dead, so he immediately bowed respectfully in the direction of Xiangyang.

After Shamoke finished worshipping, Pei Qian nodded with a smile, and then said, "General Sha, this time the official came to you, in fact, there is one more thing. ”

Shamoko didn't think about it and said, "Please give me orders, as long as the last general can do it, there will definitely be no excuse." ”

"Well, that's right, the lord heard that your people are good at dyeing and weaving, so he specially ordered you to dye and weave a thousand pieces of cloth that are close to the color of the jungle in the mountains, if you can do it within ten days, this official will promise to give you those clansmen who cultivate the land rent-free for one year, and at the same time find a way to help you get a thousand Jingzhou plows." Pei Qian looked at Shamoke with a smile and said slowly.

"Huh? It's true? Hearing this, Shamoke couldn't help but feel overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Please rest assured, the last general will definitely call on the clansmen, even if they work day and night, they will definitely complete the task." ”

As the leader of Wuximan, he naturally knows the ability of his people in dyeing and weaving cloth, and he will definitely be able to complete the task within ten days, and as an official in Liu Qi's army who is deeply influenced by the Han Chinese, Shamoke also knows the role of Jingzhou ploughs in agricultural production, if there are a thousand Jingzhou plows, he dares to guarantee that his people can produce at least thirty percent more grain, and this only thirty percent of grain can feed their tens of thousands of people.

Coupled with a one-year exemption from paying taxes and taxes, this can allow their ethnic group to feed an additional 20,000 or 30,000 people!

With such generous conditions in front of him, unless Shamoko was a fool, he would definitely nod his head in agreement.

Pei Qian looked at the back of Shamoke who was rushing away, with a faint smile on his face, because he knew that as long as the progress was smooth, his army would definitely be able to go out again within a month, and this time the dispatch would definitely give the Shixie brothers a great surprise.

Ten days later, Shamoke really handed over a thousand pieces of cloth, looking at those cloths that were very similar to the jungle, Pei Qian's heart blossomed, and he immediately ordered the craftsmen with the army to build those cloths into cloth armor in the form of armor.

At this time, the 10,000 compasses carefully made by Huang Yueying were finally delivered, Pei Qian's heart was overjoyed, he selected 5,000 people, handed over 5,000 pairs of cloth armor and 5,000 compasses to them, and according to Huang Yueying's guidance, handed over the methods to these soldiers to watch the compass, and ordered Shamo Ke to lead the 5,000 soldiers to Jiaozhi.

After Shamoke accepted Pei Qian's order, he ordered all the soldiers and went in the direction of Jiaozhi County Zhilong Formation according to Pei Qian's instructions.

This time, because the whole army was carrying a compass made by Huang Yueying, there was no phenomenon of getting lost at all, plus they were all wearing camouflage cloth armor, hidden in the jungle, and those Shixie troops hiding in the jungle not only could not find their whereabouts, but instead became the target of the Jingzhou army, and were killed by the Jingzhou army one by one.

From the original enemy dark self to the current dark enemy light, you can imagine how happy the hearts of those Jingzhou soldiers should be. They wantonly slaughtered the Jiaozhi troops who thought they were very clever and hid in the jungle, frantically avenging them for the defeat in the last war, and venting the frustration in their hearts for a month.

Although the jungle was all over the place, the speed of movement of the Shamoko army was not slow, but it took two days to kill all the defenders of Shixie, and after the army gathered, it was found that the price paid was only about a hundred people, and even these hundred or so people were rarely killed by the enemy, most of them were attacked by poisonous insects.

Although he lost more than 100 people, there was no obstacle in front, and the army could rest assured and boldly drive directly to the dragon weaving, Shamoke was still very happy, so he ordered the army to rest for a while, and then led the 5,000 troops to change into armor and drive directly to the dragon weaving city.

After seven or eight days of marching, these 5,000 people suddenly came to the city of Longbian unexpectedly.

At this time, Shi Xie had no idea what was happening on the front line, and he was celebrating his sixty-second birthday with his subordinates.

Due to the stability of the territory of Jiaozhi in recent years, Shixie has also been quite effective in cultural governance, so although Jiaozhi is a wild land, it is also rich in products and the people enjoy peace, and many people from the Central Plains have gone to join it, among which the most famous ones are Liu Xi, Yuan Hui, Xu Jing, Xu Ci, Liu Ba, Xue Zong, Cheng Bing and others. Today's Shixie's birthday, these celebrities naturally all came to the scene to celebrate, in addition to them, there are Shixie's brother Hepu Taishou Shiyi, Jiuzhen Taishou Shiyi, his son Shixiao, Shiyi, Shihui, Shigan, Shisong, and his nephew Shikuang and others.

Xue Zong, dressed as a scribe, stood up, carried the wine lord, glanced at Shi Xie, and said with a loud laugh: "Hehe, Shi Shi Shi is not only brilliant in culture, but also can block Pei Qian in Yulin, so that I can cross my toes without worry, it is really a genius through the ages, today coincides with the 62nd birthday of Shi Shi Shi, today Xue is not talented, I toast a glass of longevity wine, I wish Shi Shi a long life than Nanshan, and blessings such as the East China Sea." ”

After finishing speaking, Xue Zong drank all the wine in Jue.

"Hehe, Mr. Jingwen is really massive, the old man doesn't dare to drink like Mr. like this, but today Mr. is so sincere, how dare the old man disobey his fate? Today, the old man also drank this cup to show his gratitude, hehe, this is to say, I can have today's grand occasion in Jiaozhi, and I am also grateful for the strong support of several gentlemen, otherwise, how can the old man and the literati be able to convince these barbarians? ”

Shi Xie picked up the wine jue, and just wanted to drink this jue of wine, when he heard a personal soldier suddenly rush over and said loudly: "Lord Assassin Shi, it's not good, Pei Qian's general Sha Moke led an army of 5,000 people, and he has come to the city of Longbian, and is shouting at the head of the city, asking the lord to go out of the city and surrender." ”

"What?" After listening to the words of his own soldiers, Shi Xie's face couldn't help but turn pale, and the bronze jue in his hand fell directly to the ground.
