This is what Zhang Xuan doesn't like about Bae Renji very much, he knows that Bae Renji is asking for himself, otherwise he would not give himself so much food.

But Pei Renji deliberately mentioned that he sent troops without authorization, pointing out that he made a mistake first, and then talking about Langya County, which was obviously using a handle to force himself to agree.

Compared with Zhang Xutuo's sincerity and frankness, Pei Renji's cautious eyes are indeed disgusting.

Although he was very dissatisfied in his heart, Zhang Xuan still bowed down and smiled: "Listen to me!" “

Pei Renji didn't realize Zhang Xuan's disgust with him, and he continued to say triumphantly: "This time, I gave most of the food to General Zhang, just hoping that General Zhang could serve as the main force attacking Langya County. ”

"Of course, the humble post is willing to solve problems for the marshal, but the humble army is too small, only 10,000 troops, and the humble post must leave at least 3,000 people to guard Beihai County, and it may be difficult to exterminate the 100,000 bandits in Langya County with only 7,000 troops, and the humble post is also very worried about whether Wang Shichong will take advantage of the weakness again?"

"Wang Shichong don't worry, he is about to go to Jiangdu to report on his work, the news is accurate, don't worry about Wang Shichong's problem for at least a month, as for General Zhang's too few troops, I also understand, I will also send 10,000 troops, I will hand over the army to General Zhang, General Zhang is actually leading 17,000 troops south, and I will mobilize another 30,000 people to be responsible for transporting grain and grass, in this way, General Zhang will not let me down."

Pei Renji's tone began to become a little tougher, he had the text of the Ministry of War in his hand, if Zhang Xuan continued to push back and refused to agree, he would directly order him to send troops with the text of the Ministry of War.

Of course, Zhang Xuan understood Bae In-ki's wishful thinking, and let himself lead the army to the battle, and if he succeeded, the credit would go to the coach. That is, he Pei Renji, if he fails, then Pei Renji will be responsible for himself, no matter whether he wins or loses, he Pei Renji will not suffer.

It's not impossible for him to let Zhang Xuan lead the army to the expedition, but he needs conditions, not just a little food.

Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment and said: "If you lead the army to Langya County. I need heavy infantry to guard the cities and counties of Gaomi County to defend the enemy from breaking through Gaomi County, and I hope that the commander can give me 500 heavy armor infantry. ”

The five hundred heavy armored infantry is the elite of the elite of the Flying Eagle Army, which is directly commanded by Pei Renji, and Pei Renji will not use it unless it is absolutely necessary, such as the last attack on Langya County, the heavy armored infantry did not follow the expedition, but sat in Licheng County.

Of course, Bae Renji understood what Zhang Xuan meant, and Zhang Xuan just wanted to take this heavy infantry for himself. As a condition for him to lead the army to Langya County, but how could Pei Renji agree to this condition?

Pei Renji smiled, "Don't worry, general, with me in the back, the thief army will definitely not attack Gaomi County, and I will not let them sneak attack the rear!" ”

Zhang Xuan scolded secretly in his heart, so he had to nod and say: "Since this is the case, I will rest assured, and I will resign first to prepare for the war." I'll let you know as soon as I'm ready! ”

"How much time does General Zhang need to prepare for war?"

"It's hard to say. But I will do it as soon as possible, and I won't keep the handsome man waiting. Jang Hyun glanced at Bae In-gi meaningfully

Ten days have passed in a flash, and although Pei Renji kept urging Zhang Xuan to send troops, Zhang Xuan always delayed with various excuses to prepare for war and refused to send troops, which made Pei Renji annoyed. And very helpless.

He didn't have any way, Jang Hyun was not appointed by him, and he wouldn't listen to his command, he couldn't go to the saint to sue Jang Hyun for the royal warrant, if he dared to do that. Even if Zhang Xuan is forced to send troops, he will definitely fail again, and he knows better than anyone else the entanglement of interests in this.

Of course, Pei Renji knew the real reason why Zhang Xuan was reluctant to send troops, that is, because he did not promise to give him 500 heavy armored infantry, he began to rub himself off.

Pei Renji gritted his teeth with hatred, but there was nothing he could do, no matter what, he just couldn't give the heavy infantry to Zhang Xuan, that was one of his most important family backgrounds.

On this morning, Pei Renji was thinking about how to force Zhang Xuan to send troops at the county office, and a report from his own soldiers came from outside the door: "Qi Yu Dashuai, Xiao Jian Jun wants to see Da Shuai!" ”

Pei Renji froze suddenly, many times he almost ignored the existence of this prison army, but every time he realized the existence of Xiao Huaijing, there would always be something unfavorable to him, could it be that Xiao Huaijing would bring him something ominous today?

After being silent for a long time, Pei Renji said coldly: "Please let him in!" ”

After a while, Xiao Huaijing, who was dressed in a white robe and jade belt, walked into the official room quickly, he was not Pei Renji's subordinate, but the supervisor sent by Yang Guang, the Son of Heaven, to monitor the Flying Eagle Army and prevent the Flying Eagle Army from trying to support the army and stand on its own.

But Xiao Huaijing is not too conscientious, he spends most of his time in Qi County, rarely goes to Beihai County, and he never verifies some rumors about Zhang Xuan, it seems to be deaf, and pays attention to Pei Renji's every move, and writes reports from time to time to report to the Son of Heaven, and it is precisely for this reason that Pei Renji has a very bad relationship with him, and the two do not get along well.

Of course, there is another important reason for the bad relationship between them, when Pei Renji succeeded Zhang Xutuo, he won the respect of Yang Guang, the son of heaven, which made him a little carried away, so he wanted to take the opportunity to drive Xiao Huaijing away, so he secretly played the Son of Heaven and accused Xiao Huaijing of bribing all kinds of jewelry in Qi County.

But what Pei Renji didn't expect was that Yang Guang, the son of heaven, threw his secret letter in front of Xiao Huaijing, and scolded Xiao Huaijing fiercely, but in the end he did not transfer him away, and Xiao Huaijing formed a grudge with Pei Renji.

"It's been twenty days, why hasn't Pei Yuanjun sent troops yet?"

As soon as he entered the door, Xiao Huaijing asked unceremoniously: "Please Pei Yuanjun give me a reason so that I can report to the Holy Lord." ”

Xiao Huaijing's rudeness made Pei Renji angry, he restrained his anger and said coldly: "I will naturally have arrangements for how to fight, this is not the responsibility of Xiao Jianjun, please don't ask!" ”

"Of course, I don't care how Pei Yuanjun fights, no matter what I have to remind you, the Holy Lord only gave you fifty days to exterminate the bandits in Langya County, and now there are only thirty days left, if the bandits can't be eliminated within thirty days, I will tell the Holy Lord that Pei Yuanjun doesn't want the bandits in Langya County to be exterminated-"

"Nonsense!"

Without waiting for Xiao Huaijing to finish speaking, Pei Renji stood up and scolded Xiao Huaijing angrily: "Thousands of soldiers of the Flying Eagle Army died in Langya County, I can't wait to eat Wang Bo's meat, Sun Xuanya's skin, how can I not want to destroy the bandits in Langya County, please don't make something out of nothing, do nothing!" ”

"Really? I don't know what Pei Yuanjun thinks, but I will report it according to the truth, and the saint will make a decision. ”

Xiao Huaijing took a deep look at him, arched his hand and said, "Farewell!" ”

He didn't need Pei Renji to send off the guests, and he immediately strode out of the official room.

Pei Renji walked to the door, looking at Xiao Huaijing's thin back and walking away, he only felt a splitting headache, as the saying goes, 'It's better to mess with a gentleman than a villain!'" Xiao Huaijing is a difficult villain.

At this time, he suddenly saw a messenger standing in the courtyard, and asked, "What is the matter?" ”

"Marshal, General Zhang has a letter to deliver."

"Where is the faith? Give it to me quickly. ”

Zhang Xuan is a lifeline for him, as long as Zhang Xuan is willing to send troops, those problems are solved.

Bae Renji snatched the letter, hurriedly opened it and read it, his heart suddenly cooled half, Zhang Xuan said in the letter that he was actively training the militia group, and it would take at least another month before he could send troops, so he asked him to wait patiently.

Pei Renji was suddenly so angry that it would take a month to send troops, Zhang Xuan was obviously perfunctory, no! He was making things difficult for himself, knowing that the deadline given by the Holy God would come in a month, and he still prevaricated like this.

"Someone!"

Pei Renji shouted angrily, and a personal soldier immediately appeared at the door of the room, "Please show the marshal!" ”

Bae In-gi paced back and forth in the room with his hands in his hands, allowing himself to calm down slowly, he just wanted to send troops by himself, and no longer counted on Jang Hyun.

But when he calmed down at this time, he suddenly realized that even if he sent troops, he could only send 10,000 troops, if Zhang Xuan refused to hand over the army to him, he would still be defeated, whether he was the main general or let Zhang Xuan be the main general, the two armies must be combined into one, and he must have to ask Zhang Xuan.

In the final analysis, it was because he refused to hand over the heavy infantry to Zhang Xuan.

Pei Renji let out a long sigh helplessly, and it seemed that he had to give in.

A letter to Zhang Xuan was quickly sent to Beihai County at an expedited speed of 800 miles, in which Pei Renji promised Zhang Xuan that he could hand over 500 heavy armored soldiers to Zhang Xuan, and if he could completely annihilate the thieves of Langya County, then this heavy armored infantry could be stationed in Gaomi County for a long time, but if Zhang Xuan's southern expedition failed, he would not hesitate to take back Qi County with this heavy armored infantry.

Three days later, Pei Renji got the official news that Zhang Xuan led 7,000 troops south to Dong'an County, kicking off the prelude to the second attack on Langya County, Pei Renji immediately ordered Qin Qiong to lead an army of 10,000 to Dong'an County to join Zhang Xuan, and everything obeyed Zhang Xuan's command.
