Chapter 343: The Second Bullet of the Battle of Jizhou (6) 3/3

It was getting late, and the Jiangyi Mansion was silent. レレ

Although Jia Kui is not very old, he has quite a lot of political achievements in governing Jiangyi.

At the beginning, Jiangyi was dilapidated and bandits were rampant, so no one wanted to come. At that time, Jia Kui was the county chief in Hedong, and he was ordered to serve as the head of Jiangyi. In the past two years, under Jia Kui's governance, Jiangyi has gradually regained its vitality. From the initial Jiangren fleeing their homes one after another, to now returning to Jiangyi one after another, it is enough to show that Jia Kui has made great contributions to Jiangyi in the past two years.

Jiangren loves Jia Kui, and people praise Xianjun.

In history, Gao Gan ordered Guo to attack Hedong, and all the cities he passed through were down.

Only Jia Kui insisted on Jiangyi, which made Guo's aid attack fruitless. In desperation, Guo Yuan transferred the Xiongnu soldiers to attack urgently, and the Jiangyi side was defeated.

Shi Jiangren put forward a condition: If we want to surrender, we can, but we can't do it faster.

Guo Yuan later captured Jia Kui and made him surrender.

Jia Kui said angrily: "An has a state governor who kowtows to thieves!" ”

Guo Yuan was furious because of this and killed Jia Kui. When the people learned the news, they shouted all over the city: If you want to kill my virtuous king, you would rather die!

You Guo Yuan promised not to kill Jia Kui, but now you want to break your promise to kill the virtuous monarch of my Jiangyi, then all my Jiangren are willing to burn your jade.

Because of this, Guo Yuan did not dare to harm Jia Kui......

Of course, it is now the third year of Jian'an, but Gao Gan is dead, and Guo Yuan is stationed in Bohai County, so it is unlikely that he will meet Jia Kui. But Jia Kui did not feel relaxed, but had an inexplicable trepidation. Cao Ren led his troops to leave Hedong and returned to Guanzhong. This was originally an extremely ordinary transfer of soldiers and horses, but it made Jia Kui feel the slightest bit wrong. Cao Ren left Hedong, so isn't Hedong empty of troops?

Although he didn't know what would happen, Jia Kui couldn't feel at ease.

He sat in the study, absentmindedly flipping through a copy of "Chun Qiu Notes", but his mind was thinking about the situation that Hedong was about to face.

Jia Kui believed Zhong Xuan, but ......

He always felt that Zhong Xuan was difficult to hold.

At this time, a retainer came to report: "Xianjun, there is a happy person outside the mansion who wants to see Pei Jun." ”

Wen Xiren Pei Jun?

Jia Kui was stunned for a moment, and then stood up.

In a few hundred years, Wenxi Pei's family will become one of the four surnames in Hedong, and it is the top gate valve nobleman in the world who has gone out of the five surnames and seven families.

However, for now, Wenxi Pei's is just an ordinary Haoqiang in Hedong.

Pei Jun's father, Pei Mao, was a scholar in the period of Emperor Ling, and studied under Liu Tao, the Marquis of Zhongling, when he was young. However, after Emperor Ling, the Pei clan declined. The Pei family was divided, some went to Jiangdong, some went to Jingzhou, and some went to Yizhou.

Pei Jun was eighteen years old and stayed in his hometown.

And his brother Pei Qian, but went to Jingzhou for refuge and is now working in Changsha.

Pei Jun has been known as a prodigy since he was a child, and he can never forget it. Jia Kui admired him very much, and the two often exchanged letters and became friends.

It's just that all of a sudden, why did Pei Jun come to Jiangyi?

Jia Kui was puzzled, but he still sent someone to invite Pei Jun in.

"Fengxian, why did you come here suddenly? Didn't you write to me a few days ago that your brother-in-law was conscripted by Liu Zhang as a long history and was going to Xichuan, can't you go out? ”

Fengxian is Pei Jun's cousin.

When Pei Jun heard this, he smiled and said, "My brother-in-law is not going!" ”

"Oh?"

What kind of character is Jia Kui? From Pei Jun's answer, I heard a lot of unusual news.

Today's Pei family is not a famous family.

After Pei Mao's death, the Pei family declined even more rapidly, and there was no backer in the court. It is said that Pei Jun's brother-in-law has put a lot of effort into the position of the long history of Shu. Someone had to introduce Liu Zhang before agreeing to recruit him. But suddenly, I changed my mind. If something hadn't happened, I believe Pei Jun's brother-in-law would not have changed his mind. The turmoil in Hedong can be compared to the tranquility of Xichuan?

Jia Kui is seven or eight years older than Pei Jun and is thoughtful.

He didn't show anything on his face, but talked and laughed with Pei Jun.

After taking Pei Jun into the study, Jia Kui's face changed and asked nervously, "Feng Xian, is there an accident?"

Why should the good end change their minds? Although it is difficult to leave the homeland, what you said before is right...... The situation in Hedong is turbulent and seems to be calm, but in fact the undercurrent is turbulent, and going to Xichuan is the best choice. I tried to persuade you, but you didn't listen. Now, how did it suddenly change? ”

Pei Jun let out a long breath and said with a smile: "Big brother, when can you stop being so smart?" ”

"Huh?"

Pei Jun looked at Jia Kui's puzzled face, and immediately laughed and said, "It's not that I don't go to Xichuan, but my brother-in-law has found a better way out." ”

Jia Kui's eyes narrowed, staring at Pei Jun.

"What's the way out?"

"Brother, don't worry, let's read this letter first."

As he spoke, Pei Jun took out a letter and handed it to Jia Kui.

Jia Kui hesitated, took the letter from Pei Jun's hand, and after highlighting Song Ming, he opened the letter and read it carefully......

This letter was written by an elder in Jia Kui's early years.

The content of the letter is very simple, it is to persuade Jia Kui to serve the emperor uncle of the Han Dynasty and the general Liu Chuang of the Han Dynasty.

Jia Kui and that elder have been lost for many years. I thought that this elder had passed away, but I didn't expect that he was still in the world, and he wrote a letter back. For this elder, Jia Kui is very respectful. When he was a teenager, he had a lot of support from his elders, and he often thought that he was a teacher.

After reading the letter, Jia Kui was silent!

He closed his eyes and pondered for a long time before he asked softly, "In this way, did my brother serve Uncle Liu Huang?" ”

Pei Jun nodded, "My brother-in-law has decided to go to Yanjing to take up a post and be a subordinate of the General's Mansion."

Although it is not as good as that long history, it is more important for the general's subordinates. He was in Xichuan and didn't have many friends. The reason why he was able to recruit Liu Yizhou this time was also recommended by his friend named Fa Zheng. It's just that Fazheng's current situation is not good, and he is quite squeezed out by the Shu people, depressed and unwilling. My brother-in-law's talent is far inferior to that of filial piety, even if I go to Xichuan, what good can I do? ”

Jia Kui thought for a moment and nodded lightly......

"But ......"

"I think my brother also knows that my father studied under the Marquis of Zhongling in his early years.

Today's general is the son of the Marquis of Zhongling, and he is still my elder. He sent someone to recruit my brother-in-law to serve in the General's Palace.

This door-to-door invitation is obviously not the same as sending it to the door.

After thinking twice, my brother-in-law decided to go to Yanjing to test it...... It happened that day that I heard them mention the name of the eldest brother, and it was said that the general also knew the name of the elder brother and was ready to send someone to invite him. I thought that since that was the case, it would be better for me to come and deliver the letter myself. ”

"General, you even know my name?"

Jia Kui was obviously very surprised, and couldn't help but ask.

Pei Jun smiled and said, "Do you know, isn't this letter proof?" ”

Jia Kui was silent all of a sudden, and his mind was spinning.

He suddenly understood the meaning of the letter, and after a moment asked, "But I don't know what the general wants me to do?" ”

Pei Jun said: "For this, the general did not explain.

As I departed, his messenger said to me, "Let me tell my brother to wait patiently...... When the time comes, it will be a great achievement. ”

In other words, as long as Jia Kui makes the right move at the right time, he can make great achievements.

This couldn't help but make Jia Kui's heart pound......

He stood up and wandered around the room.

Pei Jun didn't speak again to persuade him, but looked at Jia Kui quietly.

Don't look at Jia Kui as the head of Jiangyi, but he has been paying attention to the current situation.

The duel between Liu Chuang and Cao Cao in Jizhou was very fierce. But Jia Kui was vaguely aware that the main battlefield of this duel was not actually in Jizhou. In other words, don't look at Jizhou fighting so fiercely, but in fact, it can't dominate the entire battle situation.

Could it be ......

Jia Kui shuddered and looked up at Pei Jun.

But he saw Pei Jun looking at him with a smile, nodding slightly, but smiling silently!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

At the end of May of the eighth year of Jian'an, the weather was getting hotter and hotter.

Cao Cao ultimately failed to break through the Guanjin defense, and Liu Chuang finally returned to the battlefield after a month of recuperation.

The heat wave is rolling, and the wind blowing from the direction of Zhangshui does not make people feel cool at all, but adds a moist atmosphere to the air.

If you sit there motionless, you will sweat all over your body.

Cao Cao's mood also began to become depressed.

His offensive against Guanjin became more and more fierce. An earthen city, illuminated by the scorching sun, glowed with a blood-colored halo.

The city walls, almost turned dark red.

There was a thick smell of blood in the air, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

Liu Chuang personally led the army and went out of the city to meet the battle.

For him to take the initiative to attack this time, Cao Cao was quite surprised.

The two sides set up a position outside Guanjin City, but there was no nonsense...... With the rumbling sound of war drums, the Cao army array stepped neatly and approached the Han army step by step.

And in front of the Han army, the war horses galloped.

Liu Chuang sat on the horse, his face expressionless, and his expression was grim.

"Ballista out!"

Liu Chuang shouted an order, withdrew from the army and pulled out hundreds of ballista carts, and quickly set them up.

Zhuge Liang raised the order flag high and slashed down, "Release the arrow!" ”

Eight hundred giants armed with wooden mallets struck the ballista at the same time amid the sound of slogans. I only heard the sound of Peng, and a row of guns and crossbows rose into the sky.

On each ballista, ten guns and crossbows were placed.

Eight hundred ballistas were activated at the same time, and eight thousand crossbows flew out.

The shape of the spear and crossbow was similar to that of the carved arrow, but it was significantly larger.

Eight thousand guns and crossbows burst into the air, covering the sky and the earth, making the sun and the moon dull.

Cao Jun immediately raised his shield, who knew that the power of this gun and crossbow was far more fierce than ordinary crossbow arrows, crackling, the wooden shield was shattered by the gun crossbow, Cao Jun didn't have time to dodge, and was nailed to the ground by the gun and crossbow. Seeing this scene, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel a beat in his heart.

"What's that?"

The generals around him looked at each other.

Who would have thought that Liu Chuang would launch such a weapon a month after a serious illness.

The two sides had fought before, and the battle was extremely fierce, but the Han army did not use such weapons...... Cao Cao suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Liu Chuang changed his previous insistence this time and took the initiative to fight.

This originally made Cao Cao very happy, but now, he couldn't be happy...... Liu Chuang took out his secret weapon, isn't he preparing to fight me to the death? Or maybe the situation has changed so that he can muster up the courage to fight me face to face?

Together, this thought made Cao Cao's heart tremble......
