Chapter 573: Killing the Overseer in Anger
"Listen to the younger generation!"
Although Zhang knows Pei Ju's personality very well and doesn't like his speculative methods very much, Zhang Xuan is really grateful to Pei Ju in the matter of Lu Ju, Lu Ju's departure from Jiangdu has made him have no worries, no matter what, Pei Ju has helped him a lot in this matter, and Zhang Xuan's attitude has become respectful from the heart.
Pei Ju wanted to promote the marriage between Zhang and Pei, so he also worked extremely hard and unreservedly entrusted his wisdom to seek the country.
"Now the situation in the world has been clear, the world will be the princes together, the Central Plains, but throughout history, the world is only Hebei and Guanlong, Han Gaozu according to Guanzhong and establish a foundation, Guangwu Emperor relied on Hebei and recovered the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao initially set the capital of Xuchang, but in order to fight for the world and moved the capital to Yecheng, and to the previous dynasty, the dispute of Zhou Qi is the dispute of Guanlong Hebei, so Guanlong, Hebei and Hebei, one of them can fight for the world, and the other is the heart of the world, Guanlong is the sphere of influence of the Wuchuan system, the Guanlong aristocracy has been operating for a hundred years, if Li Yuan raises troops will get Guanlong, The general can fight for Hebei according to Shandong, envelop the scholars, treat the wealthy well, take root in Qingzhou, Hebei, annex Jianghuai Haoqiang, exterminate the Central Plains bandits, strengthen its muscles and bones for the army, enrich its skin for wealth, and accumulate thick hair, the future of the world will inevitably be the dispute between Hebei and Guanlong, not only history, but also the general trend! ”
Pei Ju's words saw the situation in the world very thoroughly, and also won Zhang Xuan's heart, Zhang Xuan nodded again and again, in history, Li Yuan won the world because there was no strong enemy in the East, it stood on the shoulders of the giant of the Sui Dynasty and picked the fruit, although Dou Jiande occupied Hebei, but he was born recklessly, and he could not get the support of the wealthy families of the Hebei Shi clan, Wang Shichong, Li Mi and others valued Heluo and ignored Hebei, this is the root of their defeat.
An Lushan relied on Hebei to start his business, although the Anshi Rebellion ended with a compromise with the imperial court. However, the division of Hebei feudal towns was formed, and the rise of Hebei's power eventually became the root of the Tang Dynasty's demise.
Zhang Xuan knows a little bit of the general trend of history, but Pei Ju is deeply admired by Zhang Xuan with his own vision, and Zhang Xuan bowed deeply again, "If Zhang Xuan is successful in his future." All thanks to today's Pei Gong! ”
Zhang Xuan's words were very serious, which made Pei Ju's heart excited, and he almost said, 'The old minister is also willing to serve the general'.
It's just that Pei Jucheng's mansion is very deep, he is a family in Bingzhou, living between Hebei and Guanlong, before the situation is clear, the Pei family must not stand easily, and he and his brother Pei Yun have discussed it, and Pei Yun supports Zhang Xuan. He secretly helped Li Yuan, and the Pei family bet at both ends.
So the most important thing now is Zhang Pei's marriage, let Zhang Xuan marry Pei Yun's granddaughter, and other things can be put aside for the time being.
Pei Ju said with a smile: "Today's words, as far as you and I are concerned, I am still a Sui minister, and I have to continue to be a courtier, and the general is going back to Beihai County with me." Or do I go first? ”
Zhang Xuan thought for a while and said, "I have to go to Jibei County again, Pei Gong, please go to Beihai County to rest for two days first." I will be back soon. ”
"Okay, I'll go first."
Zhang Xuan arranged for cavalry to escort Pei Ju to the north, and arranged for a team of cavalry to rush to Jianghuai to protect Lu Zhuo, and he himself set off to Fan County in Jibei County at the same time
The contradiction between Pei Renji and Xiao Huairang, the prison army, has become public, and the quarrels between the two are often heard in the big tent, which is known to the soldiers in the battalion.
Back in the time of Qi County. Pei Renji and Xiao Huairang's relationship was not harmonious, Pei Renji failed in attacking Langya County, Xiao Huairang wrote a report for the first time to describe Pei Renji's stupidity and credulity led to the defeat of the army, and later this report fell into the hands of Pei Renji, which made Pei Renji hate Xiao Huairang deeply.
It's not that enemies don't get together. Pei Renji took over Zhang Xutuo to attack Wagang, Yang Guangsheng was afraid that Pei Renji would be passive and war-weary, so he sent Xiao Huairang to urge Pei Renji to fight, and the attack on Wagang for more than a year was fruitless, Xiao Huairang's patience reached the extreme, and Pei Renji's anger also reached the limit.
This morning, Xiao Huairang angrily broke into Pei Renji's big tent, Pei Renji was squinting and enjoying a slender guard plucking his ears, Xiao Huairang's intrusion made the guard's hand shake violently, stabbing Pei Renji's inner ear deeply, blood suddenly flowed out, Pei Renji screamed in pain, and slapped the guard to the ground, and the guard was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"My lord spares his life! Spare your life! ”
This was clearly a woman's voice, Xiao Huairang's eyes immediately narrowed, it turned out that the guard in military uniform turned out to be a young woman, he stepped forward and grabbed the guard's hat, and his hair suddenly floated down.
"Good! You dare to hide a woman in the barracks, Bae Renji, your good days are over. ”
Pei Renji said a word with a gloomy face, and shouted to the female guard: "Get out of here!" ”
The female guard was so frightened that she ran away in a panic, Pei Renji walked to the tent door again, pointed to the two personal soldiers who did not stop Xiao Huairang and shouted: "Drag these two people down and beat a hundred military sticks!" ”
Xiao Huairang said coldly: "Do you think you can deny it by letting a woman run away?" I see it with my own eyes, and I see how you explain it to the Holy One, no! You don't have to explain, I'll see what I do with you later. ”
He held up a decree and shouted, "Pei Renji takes the decree!" ”
Pei Renji was stunned, Xiao Huairang actually had a holy decree in his hand, he was so helpless that he had to kneel down, "Minister Pei Renji listens to the decree!" ”
Xiao Huairang unfolded the holy decree and read: "Henan recruitment made Pei Renji passive and sluggish, ineffective in suppressing bandits, and specially removed him from the post of general of the military guard, and demoted to Huya Lang General, Henan Recruitment Envoy was changed to Xiao Huairang, the supervising army, Qin this!" ”
"Wechen obeys!"
Pei Renji's voice became extremely low, his eyes burst out with murderous intent, he knelt on the ground motionless, Xiao Huairang snorted contemptuously, and reached out to take the handsome seal and the arrow on the table.
"Die!"
Pei Renji couldn't hold back any longer, roared, pulled out his sword and stabbed Xiao Huairang with a backhand, although Xiao Huairang wore thin armor inside, he was still pierced through the back of the heart by a sharp sword, the tip of the sword leaked out from the front chest, Xiao Huairang screamed, fell softly, and the two guards of Xiao Huairang next to him were shocked, the savior was too late, they pulled out their knives and slashed at Pei Renji.
Pei Renji dodged away, casually pulled out the war knife from the knife holder and turned to face the battle, the big tent suddenly swords, and at this time, more than a dozen Pei Renji's personal soldiers rushed in and split the two guards into pieces.
Pei Renji was covered in blood, he stepped forward and kicked Xiao Huairang over, touched his snort, Xiao Huairang was already dead of anger.
Pei Renji knew that he had made a big disaster, so he simply didn't do anything, and shouted: "Raise the account!" ”
'Boom! Boom! Boom! The drum sounded, and Pei Renji's generals rushed from all over the tents, including Sima Jia Runfu, generals Qin Qiong, Jia Wuben, Fei Qingnu and other generals to gather in one tent, as many as 100 people.
But the scene in front of them stunned everyone, only to see Xiao Huairang's head on the table, Pei Renji pressed the bloody sword in his hand, and sat in the handsome position with a cold face.
There were whispers in the big tent, and the discussion was loud, and the generals guessed with each other what was going on, in fact, everyone knew in their hearts that the contradiction between the commander and the prison army had become white-hot, and it was only a matter of time before there was internal strife.
At this time, Pei Renji snorted heavily, and the big tent was suddenly silent, Pei Renji said slowly: "The Son of Heaven listens to slander and wants to put me to death, since the Great Sui can't tolerate me, I can only find another way out, I am ready to surrender Wagang, you have followed me for many years, I will not embarrass everyone."
If you are willing to follow me to Wagang, we will share difficulties and share blessings, I Pei Renji will never treat him badly, if you are willing to go elsewhere, I will not be reluctant, I will give you half a day to think about it, make a decision before dark, if you are willing to stay with me on Wagang, if you want to find another way, you can leave the camp directly, I will not block it, but you can only take your own soldiers away, other troops are not allowed to take it away, if you dare not obey, then don't blame me Pei Renji turned his face and was ruthless, everyone go! ”
Everyone was preoccupied, and the big tent poured out, at this time, Qin Qiong stepped forward quickly and stopped Jia Wuben, "Brother Jia stays!" ”
Jia Wuben stopped and sighed: "I didn't expect that there would be today, what are General Qin's plans?" ”
"I don't know, I want to think about it, what about Brother Jia?"
"I also want to think about it, but I think that since Qiaolang is by Zhang Xuan's side, Brother Qin should also return to Qingzhou!"
Qin Qiong smiled bitterly, "I really don't know, things came too suddenly, and I didn't prepare at all." ”
"Alright, I'll go first."
Jia Wuben gave his son Jia Runfu a look, and the two hurriedly walked towards their big tent.
"Father, what shall we do?" Jia Runfu asked in a low voice.
"Nonsense, of course it's to pack up your things and go back to Qi County, do you still need to ask?"
Jia Wu had long wanted to leave Pei Renji, who had no future, but he left because of his bad face, and he happened to have an opportunity today, how could he not seize it?
"But I really don't understand, why did the marshal surrender to Wagang, his son Yuanqing is in Qingzhou, he should vote for Zhang Xuan."
"He killed the prison army as a rebellion, and now no one dares to accept him, besides, this person likes to rely on the old and sell the old, and he is Zhang Xuan's old boss, Zhang Xuan will not want him, and the surrender of Wagang is just what he said, this person actually wants to take refuge in Li Yuan, once Li Yuan rebels in Bingzhou, he will find an opportunity to rush to Li Yuan, I don't want to take refuge in the Guanlong nobles."
Jia Runfu sighed, "Father is right, we are from a Qi County family, of course we want to go back to Qingzhou." ”
Jia Wuben turned around and saw that Qin Qiong had entered the tent again, so he immediately ordered a personal soldier to go back and call someone, while he turned over and rode away with Jia Runfu outside the camp.
Jia Runfu was stunned, "Father, where are we going?" ”
"Don't be stupid, Pei Renji just said it nicely, run away first, and then gather them when the soldiers turn around." (To be continued.) )
