As soon as Pei Shiju saw Wang Huaqiang, he was shocked, and suddenly came up and grabbed Wang Huaqiang's hand, and said with a smile: "Huaqiang, after waiting for so long, I finally looked forward to you." It's not easy. ”

Wang Huaqiang didn't smile, and replied lightly: "Hongdae (Pei Shiju's character), it's hard work, let's go, let's go in first." ”

A trace of surprise flashed on Pei Shiju's face, he glanced at the more than 200 martial artists in civilian clothes who were following behind Wang Huaqiang, and was a little surprised, he pulled out his hand and asked, "Huaqiang, did you attract these strong men to join the army?" ”

Wang Huaqiang glanced back at Mai Tiezhu and the others, smiled slightly, and said to Pei Shiju: "No, they are not ordinary soldiers, but officers and veterans of my Great Sui Army. ”

Pei Shiju suddenly came to his senses, and said in surprise: "Great, Hua Qiang, you have done my brother a great favor this time, come, let's talk about it after we go in." ”

Wang Huaqiang and Pei Shiju entered the Chinese military tent in the camp together, while Mai Tiezhu and others were taken to the barracks by several generals and placed in the barracks.

Pei Shiju walked into the tent, threw the helmet towards the handsome case, sat on the ground behind the handsome case, and while unbuttoning the neckline, he picked up a puff fan and shook it vigorously: "This ghost weather, it's hot and hot." If you don't come to the south, I don't know how uncomfortable the summer here is, and I don't know what will happen if I want to go to Lingnan again. ”

Wang Huaqiang had already soaked his clothes with sweat, and the sweat on his face kept going down like a stream, and he took a handful of Hu beds handed over by the guards in the tent. Sit down. Said calmly: "Hongdae." The heart is calm and naturally cool, although the weather is hot, but brother, I don't think you look like a military camp here, there is no sentry at the door, the guards are napping, and there is no drill in the camp, can you rely on this army to fight on the battlefield immediately? ”

Pei Shiju's face was ashamed, and he sighed: "Hua Qiang." Brother Wei is really not the person in charge of the army, especially in the face of these recruits, all of them are old fritters, every day in addition to the morning and evening exercises, that is, shouting that the weather is too hot, all of them hide in the camp tent and refuse to come out, and now for my brother three times the salary of my ordinary soldiers in the Great Sui, I have not recruited 5,000 people, that is, these more than 3,000 people are consumed here, and I can't offend these masters. Otherwise, no one will go to war. ”

Wang Huaqiang said coldly: "If the military order of the general in the barracks can't control these small soldiers, then what else does the military discipline do?" Hongdae. You don't have to worry about this, leave it to me, and from tomorrow, I will deal with these soldiers. ”

Pei Shiju said with a smile: "Hua Qiang naturally has the means, but don't kill people and provoke mutinies when the time comes, after all, it depends on them to fight." ”

Wang Huaqiang nodded: "I have my own measure of this, don't worry, give me a month, keep and return your three thousand tigers and wolves, after Lingnan must be like a bamboo, by the way, what is the situation in Lingnan now?" Yang Dashuai's Tang Bao is vague, and more than a month has passed since Gao Fu shot the Tang Bao, has there been any change in the situation there? What is the current situation in Panyu City? ”

Pei Shiju's expression became stern, and he said: "Hua Qiang, this incident in Lingnan started with a plague eight months ago, and it started after our army wiped out Chen.

At that time, Mrs. Xian, the leader of the slang tribe in Lingnan, did not know that the Chen Dynasty was dead, but I heard that my Great Sui destroyed Chen in a big way, and recruited tens of thousands of barbarian soldiers to build King Kangqin, but in the Wuling area, he ran into a 20,000-strong crusade army led by Wei Xun, the prince of Xiangyang County.

As a result, General Wei waited until Jiankang attacked, and the envoy sent Chen Shubao's armistice edict and Mrs. Xian paid tribute to Chen Baxian that year, and then sent someone to give these to Mrs. Xian, Mrs. Xian led the whole army to cry for three days and then surrendered to my Great Sui, disbanded the subordinates, and General Wei led the troops to enter Panyu, these things are all you know. ”

Wang Huaqiang nodded: "Yes, Mrs. Xian is the leader of the slang people in the Luozhou and Gaozhou areas of Lingnan, and her prestige is extremely high, since she has surrendered to my Great Sui, and Panyu City has 20,000 troops stationed there, how can there be chaos here?" ”

Pei Shiju sighed: "There are many reasons, first of all, although our army pacified Lingnan, but the land here is vast and sparsely populated, there are many states and counties, and the 20,000 troops cannot all be dispersed, and can only be distributed in a few big cities." This gave Nan Chen's remnants and the local unscrupulous barbarian leaders a chance to get into trouble.

While provoking the contradictions between our garrison and the locals, these people spread rumors everywhere, saying that Mrs. Xian had received the benefits of the Sui army and had become a traitor to the Lingnan people, and her children and grandchildren were all surnamed Feng, and they were of the Han race, and they were not of the same mind as the slang Dong people in Lingnan.

The Chen Dynasty has died, and a group of people headed by Wang Zhongxuan, the leader of the slang people, took the opportunity to win over many slang people and the Southern Chen Yu Party, and gathered 40,000 or 50,000 rebels to make a rebellion at once, and it was no problem to suppress these rebels with the 20,000 army of Panyu, but after the 20,000 army entered Lingnan, they were not adapted, although they went through several rotations, but every time the new troops came to Lingnan, they would get sick on a large scale, and the number of soldiers who could fight was less than 5,000.

These barbarian traitors also saw this point, will be the new batch of rotation troops just half a month, is a large-scale illness when provoked a rebellion, the incident happened suddenly, Guangzhou governor General Wei Wei brought more than 1,000 healthy soldiers to quell the rebellion, but in the battle accidentally died in the battle, the defeat of this battle made the traitors all over Lingnan see hope, have raised troops, the whole village responded to Wang Zhongxuan's rebels, a month down, the rebels reached more than 100,000. ”

Although Wang Huaqiang was mentally prepared, he still didn't expect the situation to be so bad, even if there were hundreds of thousands of rebels in Jiangnan, they would not kill Yu Zhongwen or Huangfu Ji, who was the supreme commander, his face changed slightly, and said: "Hongdae, what is the situation in Panyu City now, Mrs. Xian just sat back and watched the rebels grow, don't you ask?" ”

Pei Shiju's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "The defenders of Panyu City can now fight less than 5,000, and they are surrounded by more than 100,000 rebels. Fortunately, the barbarian equipment in Lingnan is backward, especially not good at siege operations, Panyu City is after all the Lingnan administrative office, the city is high and deep, the food is quite sufficient, and it is not a big problem to last about half a year.

The rebels also knew this, so on the one hand, they sent more than 20,000 people under the command of Zhou Shiju to occupy Shixing, a key pass in Lingnan, to block the passage of our army to the south, and on the other hand, they also stepped up their lobbying of Mrs. Xian in an attempt to get her to join the rebellion.

Mrs. Xian sent her eldest grandson Feng Xuan at the beginning of the rebellion to lead more than 10,000 troops to quell the rebellion, but this Feng Xuan had a very good relationship with the rebel general Chen Fozhi, and had been brothers before, so Wang Zhongxuan sent Chen Fozhi to lead the division to resist Feng Xuan's troops, and the two armies camped and confronted each other more than two hundred miles west of Panyu City, without any intention of fighting, which also directly led to the result that General Wei Xuan was isolated and killed in the battle with Wang Zhongxuan's main force. ”

Wang Huaqiang slapped his thigh hatefully: "This Feng Xuan, really deserve to die." Hongdae, do you see Feng Xuan's move, is it his personal intention, or is Mrs. Xian intentional? After all, she is not an official official of our Great Sui, and it turns out that she is only loyal to the Nanchen Imperial Court, strictly speaking, she still has a hatred for destroying the country with us, will she secretly communicate with traitors and help her? ”

Pei Shiju thought about it carefully, but still shook his head: "I don't think so, when I was a staff member around Gao Servant, I had sorted out Mrs. Xian's materials many times, and I still know more about her situation, and it is precisely because of this that Gao Servant Shot sent me to Xiangzhou to recruit troops to quell the rebellion." Hua Qiang, listen to me and tell me about this Mrs. Xian's experience. (To be continued......)
