Chapter 1269 Pei Flag
This was the first time that the governor of Shuzhou, Pei Qi, saw Yang Jing. When he saw Yang Jing, he still calculated that he had not seen the Emperor of Chu in more than 20 years, nor had he returned to Daxing City.
He has been a Jiedushi in Shuzhou for more than 20 years. Such a long time has been enough to make many people illusion that he is from Shuzhou.
But in fact, he was born in Daxing City. He lived in Daxing City until he was nineteen years old and became an official. Since then, he has not been back a few times.
From being released from the county magistrate to the prefecture, he was briefly transferred back to the Daxingcheng Ministry of War, and then transferred to the prefecture general, and then appointed as the governor of Shuzhou.
The more than ten years from the age of nineteen to thirty is the fastest leap in Pei Qi's life.
Why did the imperial officials call the governor a vassal?
In fact, it is easy to understand if you replace these four words with the other three words... In the words of the people, it is the local emperor.
What kind of iron wall would his business in Shuzhou be like if he had not returned to Daxing City for more than 20 years?
According to the rules of the imperial court in Da Chu, the Jiedushi was not allowed to return to the capital without the emperor's call.
However, the imperial court also had rules that every four years, the governors from all over the country must return to Beijing to report their duties.
But the Great Chu was in chaos. Who would want to go to Daxing City in various places? As long as you don’t go to Daxing City, the position of the Jiedushi will be as stable as a rock. If you go back, you may be dismissed and replaced by the emperor with a newcomer.
As a result, the Jiedushi who were unwilling to return to Beijing to report their duties became princes.
Among them, Shuzhou and Yongzhou are particularly special.
Shuzhou was closed by Pei Qi. Once the gates of Shuzhou were closed, those who wanted to enter could not get in, but those who came up with could go out at any time.
In Yongzhou, there is a simple emperor with a high sky and far away, and no one can care about it.
At this moment, the lame Emperor of Great Chu was making a generous speech. The ones who heard him talked were a group of people who actually didn't take him seriously at all, but this did not affect Yang Jing's eyes shining.
Unfortunately, not only did these people not hear a single word, but they even wanted to laugh.
Pei Qi would not disturb Yang Jing's high-profile talk at this time and was passionate. He sat aside and tasted tea, saying a few words to the people around him from time to time.
But this person's ability lies in that you think he didn't listen to a word. Every point that should be echoed in Yang Jing's words will immediately applaud, and the people below will clap and applaud him.
After Yang Jing finished speaking, Pei Qi stood up and made a summary of the words. Yang Jing spoke for nearly an hour. After he got up, he talked freely. It took only half a moment to point out all the key points in Yang Jing's speech, without missing a single one.
After saying that, Pei Qi accompanied Yang Jing back to his residence to rest. Two strong men carried Yang Jing away. He was always behind a little behind Yang Jing.
He will not be in parallel with Yang Jing, but he will not be able to see him after looking back. This scale is just right.
After chatting with Yang Jing for a while, Pei Qi went out and two subordinates were waiting outside the door.
“Have you arrived?”
Pei Qi asked.
The subordinate replied: "At this time, I will rest in Daibei Xiaozhu. I told him that the lord will come to see him in person later."
Pei Qi nodded: "Appoint a carriage and horses, I'll have a meal in Daibei Xiaozhu tonight."
"yes!"
After responding, his subordinates hurriedly went to prepare the carriage and horses and other things.
About half an hour later, Pei Qi's carriage stopped outside a courtyard at the foot of the mountain, at the east city of Meicheng.
Meicheng is built on the mountain, and is the same as most mountain cities in Shuzhou, so it is not as regular as those big cities on the plains.
The big cities on the plains are square, horizontal and vertical, but the mountain city is different. People in the south of the city may get lost even if they go to the north of the city.
This Daibei small building has been a bit old. Although the building looks a little old, the environment is really nothing to say.
Living here is like a person who forgets all his worries. Don’t talk about it. Just the flowers, plants, trees, bridges and flowing water in this garden is enough to make people linger.
Han Feibao was sitting in a pavilion and fishing in the pond.
He knew Pei Qi was here, but he didn't plan to greet him, because he was very angry and he didn't want to make himself seem to lose his price.
Yang Jing's arrival made him, a person who could be an emperor, beaten to the mortal world at once.
He was not angry or angry when losing to Tang Pideng, because he could see the outcome and failure of the battlefield.
But Yang Jing was taken to Meicheng, which was equivalent to someone stabbing him in the back and throwing him into a garbage dump and telling him that you are useless.
But Han Feibao refused to accept his fate.
He expected that Pei Qi would not dare to kill him, nor would he dare to be too presumptuous in front of him.
After a series of battles, Shuzhou actually had few soldiers. Even if he promised to make a lot of profit, there were very few soldiers who could recruit him.
No matter what Pei Qi's real intention was, he could not do without his Yongzhou army. Even though the 400,000 troops he brought have been wiped out, under his forced order, he summoned hundreds of thousands of troops and horses to gather.
Yongzhou is poor, but the population is large, and the poorer the place, the fewer people will not be. This has always been the case.
Especially in the northwest Yongzhou, the people in the northwest may fight for a fight.
The men here will be afraid of the gods and the earth when they pick up their swords.
What is different from most parts of the Central Plains is that the people do not have any awe of the rich.
In most parts of the Central Plains, people often subconsciously give in when they see people with different identities.
But in Yongzhou, no one should take himself too seriously, because the people of Yongzhou who are ruthless will not care who you are.
But the people of Yongzhou were very afraid of the Jiedushi's Mansion because the cruelest people were all in the government office.
Especially for people like Han Feibao, no one dared to resist wherever his Yongzhou army went.
So this is Han Feibao's confidence. No matter how powerful Pei Qi has, no matter how powerful he has, what is the use of no matter how powerful he has.
So he expected that when Pei Qi saw him, he would look apologetic and would still keep talking to him.
Shortly after Pei Qi entered the door, he saw Han Feibao sitting in the pavilion fishing without even looking back. He curled a sneer on the corner of his mouth, but soon changed into a warm and apologetic face and walked over quickly.
"My General Han, my young master, you are finally back."
As soon as he heard these words, Han Feibao also sneered at the corner of his mouth.
Half an hour later, the pavilion had already been arranged, and Pei Qi personally filled a glass of wine for Han Feibao.
"Young master, you should know that this is a last resort."
Pei Qi smiled and said, "Young Master wouldn't think he would really assist Yang Jing in restoring the country, right?"
Han Feibao sneered: "Look at this attitude, isn't that the case?"
Pei Qi said: "Young Master, why are you so confused? The reason why Yang Jing can live now is that he is useful at this time."
He changed his seat and sat next to Han Feibao.
"Ning King Li Chi is now in power and has the hearts of the people. We have no better reason to fight against Li Chi."
"Only by using the name of Emperor Yang Jing and using the banner of restoring the country, can we gain the support of a large number of clans in the Central Plains."
"When you really take back the world in the future, how can Yang Jing die? Isn't it the young master who has the final say?"
Han Feibao said: "If I was useless at that time, how could I die? Isn't it that the Jiedushi has the final say with the Emperor?"
Pei Qi said: "Young Master is confused."
He waved: "Take the letter."
The subordinates came over, and Pei Qi took the letter and handed it to Han Feibao with both hands: "The letter of the Holy Master."
Han Feibao opened it and looked at it, his face changed slightly.
Pei Qi said: "The saint has ordered Yang Jing's son to be found at any cost and get rid of him."
He looked at Han Feibao and said, "The Holy Master wants to support the young master ascend the throne and become emperor, but the young master still can't understand?"
Han Feibao put down the letter and said after a long silence: "I just feel resentful. What's wrong with you letting me expose this resentment?"
"Of course I understand the young master's mood."
Pei Qi said: "Yang Jing is just a small soldier, but now this small soldier has become the only choice to cross the river. Then the young master will feel a little wronged for a while, and sooner or later, they will let the young master bring out this resentment."
Han Feibao then smiled: "Does the Jiedushi have a plan?"
Pei Qi said: "I plan to recruit troops again in Shuzhou. As long as I can recruit another 500,000 troops and leave them to the young master for training, it will only take two years to have the power to fight."
Han Feibao frowned slightly and said, "Charge troops in Shuzhou? How many more people can be recruited in Shuzhou? I think I'd better go back to Yongzhou. You can prepare well in Shuzhou. Give me a year, and I can recruit millions of soldiers in Yongzhou."
"Young Master."
Pei Qi said: "I am worried that the young master will be in danger when he returns, and the dangerous place in Yongzhou. If they know that the young master is defeated, they may have some evil thoughts..."
Before he could finish his words, Han Feibao had already snorted: "Do they have the courage?"
He said to Pei Qi: "Prepare 10,000 troops for me and I will take it back to Yongzhou. They dare not be arrogant just by relying on my past reputation."
Pei Qi said: "It should be safer. The young master will be the lord of the world in the future. You cannot take any danger, even if it is just a little bit of danger."
"You underestimate me too much!"
Han Feibao said: "I insist on going back and let you see what my status is in Yongzhou and whether I can still respond to it."
"Can......"
"No need to say much, let's prepare the team tomorrow."
"yes......"
Pei Qi bent over and responded. When he lowered his head, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Of course, he knew what attitude was the most effective against a reckless man like Han Feibao.
Han Feibao was also very satisfied. Thinking that as he expected, Pei Qi still couldn't live without him.
The next conversation between the two seemed relaxed and happy, especially after Pei Qi clapped his hands and came up with several young and beautiful dancers, Han Feibao became even more relaxed and happy.
It was already dark when it left Daibei Xiaozhu, and Pei Qi, who had gotten on the carriage, breathed heavily.
It’s really difficult and tiring to plan the world.
If it weren't for the inexplicable Ning King Li Chi Risen, the world would have been tightly held in his hands.
“Good things get worse…”
