.

Cheng Yaojin left the camp, but Luo Shixin looked at Pang Yu's body and said, "General Zhang, General Pang..." His eyes passed by Pei Renji, full of chills. Of course, he knew that Pang Yu was killed by Pei Xingyan.

Zhang Xutuo stared at Pang Yu's body and said, "General Pang sacrificed his life for the country and was tragically attacked by Xiao Buyi. I will sue the court for this matter. General Pei worked hard to appease the soldiers of the Guards, which is also a great achievement."

Pei Renji said in a trembling voice: "General Xie, Kexing is still missing..."

Zhang Xutuo frowned and said, "Pei Xingyan followed Xiao Buyi away, but he didn't know where he went. Has he been attacked by Xiao Buyi? General Pei, you bring the elite soldiers here to turn back to Hulao Pass for the time being. How about I come to find Pei Xingyan's whereabouts?"

Pei Renji was moved again, mixed with fear, and could only say: "I have a hard time Zhang Jiang

No one knows his son, but his father is better. Pei Renji's intention to come to Guishan to persuade Pei Xingyan this time. He thought that he only had this son, and he would live a lifetime. But Pei Xingyan is a proud and arrogant person, and is definitely not a mediocre person. Pei Ren basically wanted to convince his son, but he did not expect that he would go with Xiao Buyi and leave.

Although Xiao Buyi and Pei Xingyan were doing 100% of the show, how could Pei Xingyan hide it from his biological father Pei Renji? After knowing that his son defected, he thought he would die. Unexpectedly, Zhang Xutuo pretended not to know or really didn't know, and even asked him to return to the Huzhu to guard the garrison, which was grateful.

After Pei Renji left the camp, Luo Shixin said in discomfort: "General Zhang, Pei Xingyan's crimes are unforgivable. He killed the imperial court official. Pei Renji is also very faulty as his father. I wonder why the general did not pursue this?"

Zhang Xutuo sighed slightly, "Shi Xin, now there are fewer famous generals in the Sui Dynasty. I thought Xiao Buyi could become a great man, but I didn't expect it to be a big trouble. It really makes people sigh that fate is a mess. Although Pei Xingyan's rebellion was wrong, it had nothing to do with Pei Renji. Pei Renji was mature and steadfast, and was very generous, and could be of great use. He had never had the intention to rebel. Once Pang Yu died, Hulao Yanshi lacked good generals to guard him. If there were bandits in rebellion, the Kyoto would be in danger. Pei Renji had been in a long time to maintain Hulao Pass and was experienced. With gratitude this time, he would do his best. In this way, the peace of the Sui Dynasty could be temporarily protected."

He just said that he was temporarily safe, and obviously he was helpless. Luo Shixin said indeed: "General, Xiao Buyi escapes, we are rushing to chase him. I think he will rebel openly soon. If Pei Xingyan conspires with Pei Renji, he is afraid that the general will not be worth the loss."

Zhang Xutuo sighed lightly, "Let's talk about what's going on in the future. Our most urgent task is to chase and kill Xiao Buyi and Pei Xingyan. Once Pei Xingyan dies, there is no need to worry about Pei Renji's side."

He sat on the chair with a little tired look. Luo Shixin asked with concern, "Is the general injured okay?"

Zhang Xutuo looked up at Luo Shixin and said, "I'm fine. Shixin, how are you hurt? I have been fighting with me for many years, and I have worked hard for you."

Luo Shixin's face was full of gratitude. "Shixin has been cultivated by the general to achieve today. It's nothing to be tired. As the general, as the leader of the Great Sui Dynasty, he still needs to take care of himself."

Zhang Xutuo nodded, "I worked hard all night, Shi Xin will go and rest."

Luo Shixin nodded and left the camp. Zhang Xutuo sighed and murmured: "Shistorical Book, Tianji. Xiao Buyi, are there really heavenly books in this world?"

Zhang Xutuo waited in the Guishan camp until dawn the next day.

In fact, it was the second day when he and Xiao Buyi fought wits. He had no time to think for a thrilling night, and the completely opposite scene forced him to kill him. He had superb martial arts and had little rest, but it was impossible not to consider the fatigue of his subordinates.

This time, Cheng Yaojin suffered losses in the army, Luo Shixin was injured, Pang Yu died, Pei Xingyan defected, and even if he was famous, he was slightly injured in the battle. Everything was beyond Zhang Xutuo's expectations, which made him unable to re-examine Xiao Buyi. The sudden iron-armored cavalry made Zhang Xutuo realize that Xiao Buyi's strength was really buried deep. Xu Shiji's revenge made Zhang Xutuo frown.

The generals subjugated him, not only because of his prestige and martial arts, but also because he understood the morale of the army, knew that he could not act too rush, and wanted to give the generals a rest. Although he was anxious, he understood the principle that hasteness would not be achieved.

Zhang Xutuo had just finished adjusting his breath, and Cheng Yaojin had already walked into the tent to report, "General, I have asked the posthouse to quickly spread the news that the counties and counties along the southwest are paying attention to Xiao Buyi's actions, but there may not be news immediately."

Zhang Xutuo nodded, "Yaojin, I feel relieved when you do things."

Cheng Yaojin grinned, "General Zhang, what are we going to do now? Can we go back to Qi County?"

Zhang Xutuo shook his head, "How can we turn back to Qi County now? Xiao Buyi is not removed, after all, a major concern in the Sui Dynasty." Seeing that Cheng Yaojin wanted to speak but stopped, Zhang Xutuo asked, "Yaojin, is there anything wrong?"

Cheng Yaojin hesitated: "General, Yaojin met Xiao Buyi in Dongdu, and always felt that this person was decisive in his work and might not be a rebel. Besides, if it weren't for him, it wouldn't be smooth for Shubao and I to call the war horse."

Zhang Xutuo pondered for a long time before saying, "How can he know that he is not buying people's hearts?"

The two of them became silent, and the tent was silent.

"Yaojin, are there any abnormal movements in the army now?" Zhang Xutuo asked suddenly.

Cheng Yaojin frowned and said, "Of course not to rebel. The people Pei Xingyan brought this time were all elite soldiers of the Wei Mansion. His family was in Hedong and had close ties with the court. Of course, he would not rebel with Xiao Buyi. However, yesterday he captured Xiao Buyi and Pei Xingyan's whereabouts were unknown, which inevitably made them panic."

Zhang Xutuo sighed softly, "It will be fine in a few days."

Cheng Yaojin wanted to say something, but finally held it back. Mark 1 curtain tent opened, Luo Shixin hurried in and whispered: "General, Yang Taipu's urgent document."

He and Cheng Yaojin were both Zhang Xutuo's confidants, sharing the joys and sorrows, life and death. Although he respected Zhang Xutuo, he acted casually and could enter Zhang Xutuo's tent without reporting.

"What does the official document say?" Zhang Xutuo asked directly without detaching the official document.

Luo Shixin opened the seal of the fire seal and glanced at him, "General, the situation on Xia Pi has been controlled, and there is no mutiny in the army. Yang Taipu asked the general to be relieved. But there are two things that the general wants to seize..."

"speak."

"One thing is that most soldiers and generals in Xiaobu's uniform camp were under control. But only the only one who was missing was the military commander Wei Zheng. Yang Taipu asked the general. Did the counties issue official documents to arrest him?" Luo Shixin frowned.

"Wei Zheng?" Zhang Xutuo pondered for a long time before asking. "Who is Wei Zheng?"

The second generals were also confused and shook their heads and said, "I don't know."

Luo Shixin looked at the official document and said, "Yang Taipu said that he had already investigated. Wei Zheng was originally a secretary of Yanshi, mainly in charge of documents and files. He has always been unknown, but he has a straightforward temper and has few popularity. After Xiao Buyi arrived in Yanshi, he met Wei Zheng, and he was quite in love and appointed him as the marching supervisor. However, his management was orderly and he was considered a talent."

"If Xiao Buyi was a native of Taiping Dao, Wei Zheng would probably be the remnant of Taiping Dao." Cheng Yaojin said suddenly.

Zhang Xutuo actually nodded, "What Yao Jin said makes sense, it is true, according to common sense. Xiao Buyi is cautious and is likely to have a ghost when he meets him for the first time. How can he know them already?"

Both generals nodded, and they all thought it made sense. What Zhang Xutuo said this time was right. Xiao Buyi met Wei Zheng a thousand years later, but it was the first time he met a thousand years ago. However, since he was a person who had left his name for thousands of years, if Xiao Buyi did not value it, he would have a ghost.

"No matter how much Wei Zheng is, even if he is a native of Taiping Dao, it's nothing." Zhang Xutuo waved his hand and said, "What is the second thing?"

"Yuchi Gong plotted against rebellion and wanted to go out of the city to communicate with Xiao Buyi, but was taken down by Shubao and Yang Taipu. Yang Taipu said he was executed in three days to serve as a warning to You. Well, it should be said that there are two days left. Ask the general if he can?"

"Yuchi is not Xiao Buyi's confidant." Zhang Xutuo pondered.

"How can the general explain this?" Luo Shixin asked.

"Xiao Buyi's foresight this time seems to know that I want to be against him. If I plan to kill him, he seems to be going to kill me too..."

Luo Shixin said in horror: "He actually has such courage?"

Zhang Xutuo sighed lightly: "All done is done, what else can I say is courage but not courage? Xiao Buyi has been showing weakness, but he is just arrogant to the enemy. At the end, he joined forces with the assassin to kill me. It was just that I underestimated his scheming, and he underestimated my martial arts. If Wei Zheng really went along with Xiao Buyi, it would prove that Xiao Buyi had already planned. When the matter was defeated, he had notified Wei Zheng to evacuate, but he did not notify Yuchi Gong, which means he did not trust Yuchi Gong."

The two generals nodded, and agreed with what Zhang Xutuo said.

"What should I do if Yuchi Gong?" Luo Shixin asked.

Zhang Xutuo frowned, "Mr. Yang's decision is very correct. If such a rebellious minister is not killed, how can he warn the world? The scholar and his wife ordered people to report back to Mr. Yang quickly and said that everything is as he wishes, and I have no objection."

Luo Shixin was about to leave the account, but Zhang Xutuo suddenly said, "Wait."

The two generals looked at Zhang Xutuo in confusion, and Zhang Xutuo pondered: "Shi Xin, we will immediately prepare our horses to Xia Pi and kill Yuchi Gong!"

"Why did General himself take action in this matter?"

Zhang Xutuo smiled and said, "No matter whether Yuchi Gong is a confidant of Xiao Buyi, I want to see such people. If he is a confidant, Xiao Buyi will probably come to rescue him, so we can catch turtles in the jar. If Xiao Buyi doesn't come and kill Yuchi Gong, wouldn't the people who follow him be heartbroken?"

Luo Shixin was excited, "The general said so well, I will prepare now!"

"Yuchi Gong was arrested?" Xiao Buyi asked in surprise.

"Yes, there is news from Xia Pi that Yuchi Gong was arrested for all his strength and is now in a death row. Yang Yichen announced that he would be executed in three days, but now it should be two days left."

"What about Wei Zheng?" Xiao Buyi asked with a frown.

"We sent someone to notify Wei Zheng and let him choose for himself. He chose to join us." The replyer smiled, "I informed him that it was after you went to Hongze Lake. Even if he was loyal to the Great Sui Dynasty and chose to inform you, it would not ruin your affairs. But you have a good vision, and he finally chose to join you. However, Wei Zheng did not have wings after all, and is on his way here."

Beside Xiao Buyi, Pei Xingyan, Sun Shaofang, Zhou Muru and A Su, and one person was Yuan Lan. The person who replied was Yuan Lan.

Everyone was dressed in casual clothes, dressed up as ordinary people. They sat upright at the table and looked out from the window. The two sides were covered with green trees and beautiful mountains and rivers. They slowly retreated. Seeing the river flowing quietly and the water surface was clear, everyone was sitting on a small boat.

The river water is clear and rippling. The golden sunlight shines on the river surface in the early morning, like gold-plated. The river water flows quietly, but everyone is not calm. Although they haven't been asleep all night, they are not sleepy. They are all looking at Xiao Buyi, not knowing what plans he has in the future.

But no matter what Xiao Buyi plans, even if Pei Xingyan is full of expectations for Xiao Buyi, at least he will be very planning even if he sees Xiao Buyi. Pei Xingyan thought that he would go to the world and wait for the opportunity, but he did not expect that he would take a boat north here leisurely. This comfortable escape was beyond Pei Xingyan's expectations.

After everyone fled Guishan, Xiao Buyi and Xu Shiji took the way to Qingshuidu, where Pei Xingyan and Zhou Muru had been waiting anxiously, and they were both surprised and happy to see Xiao Buyi leading his troops over.

Xiao Buyi did not take a boat, but led everyone to run westward, choosing a remote area to walk, and then arrived in an unknown mountain, where someone had already responded.

The soldiers removed their equipment and turned into ordinary land horse vendors, and disappeared under the leadership of Xu Shiji.

Pei Xingyan was surprised when he saw this, thinking that these people came and went without a trace and were well-equipped, but he didn't expect that Xiao Buyi would have such a backup plan.

But Xiao Buyi took the rest of the staff, including the woman who was eating rice, and walked northward. It all the way to Wo Water. Wo Water came down from the north and slowly poured into Huai Water. Xiao Buyi did not go west of Huai Water, but went north from Wo Water, which was unexpected to everyone.

There were ships on the vortex water to respond, but the person who responded was Yuan Lan. Although the woman in black followed, she did not join them and automatically boarded another ship. As soon as Yuan Lan got on the ship, she told Yuchi Gong that he was arrested.

Xiao Buyihuan looked at the people around the table, thinking that he was forced to rebel. The people around him had been tested for a long time and were also considered brothers of life and death, and were trustworthy, but Yuchi Gong was caught beyond his expectations.

Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "Brother Yuan has always been relieved to do things."

"Wei Zheng is just an ordinary secretary. Buyi is optimistic that he can accomplish great things?" Yuan Lan was a little surprised.

Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "He is honest in his work, and he happens to have a wake-up effect around us. Otherwise, we will be dizzy and hot, and we may do something wrong."

Although Yuan Lan was puzzled, she didn't know why Xiao Buyi valued Wei Zheng so much, but she still respected his choice. "Have everyone in Dongdu notified?" Xiao Buyi asked again.

Yuan Lan smiled and said, "You can rest assured that this commoner is. We have passed the message very quickly in Mayi, the capital. Not only did we notify the people from the capital's evacuation, but your second brother Li Jing knows the current situation now. Another thing is that Pei Bei has improved a lot. Now, Qiaoxi, Fat Huai, Wan'er and others have all gone south quietly and can come to find you. Of course, if you have any trouble, I have enough places in all nearby counties, and they can also avoid the limelight for the time being."

"Let them hide for a while, I have something to do with him." Xiao Buyi frowned.

"What's the matter?" Yuan Lan asked.

"Go and save Yuchi Gong." Xiao Buyi said in a deep voice.

Everyone was silent, but they didn't expect that Xiao Buyi was so brave that he had to save others at the forefront of the storm.

Yuan Lan frowned and said, "Buyi, if you really trust and admire Yuchi Gong, why didn't you notify him at the beginning? It would be very difficult to save him now."

Xiao Buyi smiled bitterly, "I miscalculated this for a while. Actually, I didn't want to make Yuchi Gong embarrassed. I have always trusted Yuchi Gong very much, but he has been thinking about hesitation. When I met him in Mayi, Liu Wuzhou had the kindness of knowing him. Yuchi Gong told me privately that he wanted to leave and go to repay Liu Wuzhou's kindness. Everyone has their own ambitions and cannot force it. Of course, I can't tell him about rebellion. I only thought that after Yuchi Gong fought against the Supreme King, he was either promoted or had another choice. I didn't expect that he would turn against Yang Yichen in order to notify me. If I didn't know that he was captured, it would be fine, but since I knew that he was captured and was about to be executed or indifferent, how could I bear it?"

Everyone was silent, but Pei Xingyan slapped the table and said, "General Xiao has feelings and righteousness, so Pei Xingyan will follow him. Xingyan obeyed General Xiao's instructions. If he went to rob and rescue Yuchi Gong, he would definitely count me."

Although Xiao Buyi was no longer a general, Pei Xingyan still used to call him. The brothers nodded and said, "Yes. A real man is the one who does something and does not do anything. Everyone is a brother. No matter what, they always have to save him."

"I am no longer a general, I can be called brothers in the future." Xiao Buyi said with a smile.

Pei Xingyan smiled and said, "Maybe it's not a general now. According to General Xiao's ability, what's the difficulty of being a general? If you really have the chance, it's very possible to be an emperor."
