Jiang Jie went to Jixianzhuang for a private visit, and Tong Zhou went to find Pei Xuan, the chief soldier.

Pei Xuan arrived in Nanjing first, and then went south to Taihu Lake, preparing to enter Huzhou. Originally, the original plan was to play in Taihu Lake for two more days, but after receiving the news that his son was arrested by the governor Yue, the old guy could only change his original intention and speed up the trip.

Today, I came to the ground in Huzhou, camped with soldiers and horses, prepared to rest for a day, and continued to rush tomorrow. As a result, a servant came to report that a messenger from the Governor had come to ask for an audience.

The person sent by Lord Yue, how dare Pei Xuan not see it, he immediately asked. The person who came to ask for a meeting was Tong Xuan, who entered Pei Xuan's big tent and after the ceremony. The child's stomach handed over Yue Su's text and the decree to Pei Xuan.

The content of the text is that Pei Xuan, the new commander-in-chief, was ordered to go to Xiaofeng County and Jixianzhuang under the rule of Huzhou to exterminate the anti-thieves. In Jixian Village, there are 5,000 anti-thieves, including the old and weak, but Mr. Pei must not be careful, don't startle the snake, and kill all the anti-thieves. The governor's order is now here, although Pei Zongbing has not handed over the soldiers, but with this order, he can mobilize Zhejiang soldiers and horses to cooperate with the suppression of bandits. However, the governor thought that gathering a large number of people would inevitably arouse the vigilance of the anti-thieves, and he did not prevent the news from leaking, so that the anti-thieves would flee first when they heard the news, and asked General Pei to be cautious. The Governor hereby grants Pei the right to arbitrarily decide on the occasion and ask for success. The governor was in the city of Hangzhou, thinking that Pei Zongbing was preparing a celebration banquet and waiting for the news of Pei's victory. The inscription is: Yue Su, Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang. It was also stamped with the governor's seal.

After Pei Xuan saw it, he immediately said: "The governor's order, the subordinate must go all out." Come on, beckon your envoy to have a good rest, and don't be lazy. ，”

sent Tong Xuan down, Pei Xuan immediately found his confidants and staff to discuss.

If it was an ordinary Zhuangzi, let alone 5,000 people, even if it was 10,000 people, Pei Xuan would not take it seriously. There are a thousand servants around him, each of whom is one in a hundred, and his combat effectiveness is extremely strong.

However, he didn't dare to take this Jixian Village lightly now, because he still knew Lord Yue well.

He first circulated Yue Su's writings to his subordinates one by one, and only after everyone had opened it did he say: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Governor has given me this order, asking me to destroy the rebels in Xiaofeng County and Jixianzhuang on a false path. What do you guys think? ”

"Great. Governor Yue's reputation has been heard of by his subordinates, and he has always been resolute. It is a bandit, there will never be a delay, Xiaofeng County is only two hundred miles away from Hangzhou, and it can be reached in three days by marching with all its might. But he did not send troops himself, but sent a marshal to send troops, and there must be a reason for this. The second thing should be that this group of rebels is extremely combative, and the governor is worried that his troops will be difficult to deal with, so he let the commander go out. One of Pei Xuan's staff members said first.

Pei Xuan nodded and said, "What you said is right, I also thought that the strength of this group of rebels must be extremely strong." And judging by Lord Yue's meaning, this group of rebels not only has combat effectiveness, but also has a certain intelligence network. Looking at the world, the only traitor who can have such strength is the disappearing Dragon Slaying Gang. Lord Yue and the Dragon Slayer Gang fought several times, thinking that it was this time that the bandits' nest was discovered, so in order to avoid startling the snake, I was allowed to make a move. Speaking of this, Pei Xuan's face was embarrassed, "We have so much in our family, it's nothing to deal with ordinary bandits, but we can deal with the Dragon Slaying Gang, and after a battle, we are bound to suffer heavy losses." And depending on what Lord Yue means, he still wants me to annihilate the rebels, if the rebels fight to the death, who wins and who loses, then it's hard to say. ”

"Dashuai, doesn't it mean that Lord Yue gave Dashuai Governor a big order to mobilize Zhejiang soldiers and horses. We have few people, but we can mobilize Huzhou's garrison soldiers and horses and sub-garrison troops and horses, plus our family soldiers, to exterminate some rebels, it should be enough. A family general said.

"Mobilizing the soldiers and horses in Huzhou will definitely make a lot of movements, didn't you read what Lord Yue said in the text, although on the surface it is said that I can mobilize the soldiers and horses, in fact, it means that I should try not to move. This great order is actually an order for me, not for me to mobilize troops and horses. "Pei Xuanjiuzhen's side, he has been rolling in officialdom for so many years, don't look at it as a martial artist, and now he is also a belly of eyes.

"If we don't let us mobilize our soldiers and horses, we will rely on our soldiers to fight, and we will not have to wipe out our families." The master said.

"What can I do? Yingjie is still in Yue Su's hands now, if he doesn't listen to him in this battle and does things beautifully, can you and I get Yingjie back from his hands? This battle must be fought if it is not fought, but when it is fought again, it is best to have a proper strategy. Pei Xuan said helplessly.

"Dashuai, my subordinates have something to say...... "This person is Pei Xuan's first staff, and his name is Zhuge Zhou."

"Mr. Zhuge has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." For this Mr. Zhuge , Pei Xuan was very polite. Back then, he was able to get his son out of Zhao Prison, and the idea was that this Zhuge Zhou would give him a white spoon.

"Marshal, this is a war, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers. Although Lord Yue asked the marshal to send troops to annihilate all the rebels, who can guarantee that he will definitely be able to win and be completely annihilated. Of course, no matter what this battle is, the marshal can't lose, after all, we first came to Zhejiang, the first battle in office, if we lose like this, we can't raise our heads in Zhejiang, not to mention, the news reaches Beijing, and the queen mother will also think that the marshal is incompetent. Therefore, to win is to win, but to annihilate them all, that's a story for later. That Jixian Village, although the subordinates have not been to it, it is expected to be just a village, our people, hit him by surprise, after entering the village, a burn and kill, it is expected that the rebels will rush to the battle, after a little resistance, see that the situation is not good, will escape. Just a few rebels, how many horses can there be, on our side, but there are 300 horsemen, and the cavalry is behind to cover and kill, not to mention that we can kill them all. However, this is only a strategy, and there is another strategy under his subordinates, called luring the snake out of the hole, which may really wipe out all the traitors. "Oh?" As soon as he heard Zhuge Zhou say that he could really wipe out all the traitors, Pei Xuan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Sir, teach me quickly." ”

This ploy is called luring the snake out of the hole. Isn't Governor Yue worried that we will scare the snake, so let's give him a scare snake. Lure out the traitors. We have cavalry, fighting in the streets of Zhuangzi, it is really impossible to show it, if we pull it out and fight, it is just a bandit, what is it. Moreover, didn't it be said in this line that there are still children among the rebels, and they can't go fast, and when the cavalry arrives, how can they resist. Zhuge Zhou said triumphantly. ,,"Lure the snake out of the hole, what if you let it run?" I won't be able to explain to Lord Yue then? Pei Xuan said anxiously.

"Dashuai, the subordinates mean, let's go to Xiaofeng County first, and then keep an eye on Jixianzhuang. Then transfer people and horses from Huzhou and Anji Prefecture, if the people in Zhuangzi dare to escape, it is the best, let's immediately let the cavalry dispatch and kill them without leaving a piece of armor. If we stay inside, we will wait for the army to assemble and leave them alone. Zhuge Zhou said.

After Pei Xuan heard this, he thought about it and said, "Our soldiers haven't been in battle for a long time, this time, let them have a good experience." ”

Pei Xuan adopted Zhuge Zhou's suggestion, and early the next morning, sent Tong Zhou away, and asked him to return to Hangzhou to send a letter to Yue Su, only saying that the last general would obey the order and would go all out.

Seeing off Tong Xuan, Pei Xuan's side immediately set off for Anji, and arrived in Xiaofeng County two days later. He went to Hangzhou to take up a job, and there was nothing wrong with taking this route, and of course no one would pay attention to it. However, when the old guy arrived in Xiaofeng County, the speed of the march was significantly accelerated, and he did not stop at the county seat at all, and arrived at Jixianzhuang on the same day. His men and horses camped five miles away from Jixianzhuang, and they rushed to the aid with orders from Xiaofeng County, Anji Prefecture, and Huzhou.

Xiaofeng County is the closest, and as soon as the order arrived, the soldiers of the Inspection Department came in one day, but the number was really not enough, only about 500 people. This is already all the strength of the Xiaofeng County Inspection Division.

Pei Xuan was stationed here, and the people in Jixian Village immediately panicked.

In the mansion on the village, it was full of people that night.

Above the flower hall, two people sat on the top. The person on the left is a lady in her thirties. Sitting on the right side is a man in his thirties, this man looks ordinary, and his clothes are very simple.

These two people are none other than each other, the woman is called Mi Ke, and the man is called Jane. The two of them are Gu Huai's true mouth. , the daughter and son-in-law of the lord.

In the two of them, there were more than a dozen people, some old and some young, all of whom looked at Miko and Jian Rang with eagerness on their faces.

In the flower hall, it was very calm, and only the rapid heartbeat of the big guy could be heard. At this time, an old man sitting in the left compartment finally couldn't help but say: "The two protectors, now Pei Xuan's soldiers and horses are stationed outside our village, this is obviously a plan, Sima Zhao's heart is well known." Now, we can't sit still, we must think of a countermeasure. ”

Pei Xuan came too suddenly, so that the people of the Dragon Slaying Gang were relieved. Mi Ke looked at her husband and said, "Husband, now that my father is not here, everything here is handled by you and me." At present, the officers and soldiers are pressing, what do you think should be done? ”

Jian Rang's brows furrowed, and after a while, he said, "Pei Xuan's men and horses must be coming for us, there is no doubt about this." Now, if we send troops directly and fight hard with him, no matter whether we win or lose, we will all be in shape, and we will no longer be able to gain a foothold in Zhejiang. But if you don't fight, you're waiting for death. Escaping may be the best policy, but Pei Xuan dared to camp outside, he must have come prepared.

No one dares to say whether they can walk away. If Mr. Ye and Mr. Nangong were here, they might have come up with a better idea, but they are not here now, so I can only get it. I mean, our troops are divided into two ways, one is to feint against Pei Xuan's camp, and the other is to take advantage of this opportunity to evacuate. ”
