Chapter 519 I have already ordered General Xu Shiji to garrison Hulao
Chapter 519
Pei Renji and his son led the army to leave Dongdu, and it took almost a day to arrive and camp near Yanshi.
Xiao Huaijing, the censor and supervisor of the army, tried to break into the military tent several times, but was blocked by soldiers outside the tent.
It is clear that there is important military affairs, and since you, Supervisor Xiao, are not familiar with military affairs, you will naturally just stand aside.
Hearing Xiao Huaijing's indignant retort, he finally left helplessly. The tall and burly Pei Xingyan turned his head and looked at his father who was sitting behind the short table and said silently.
"Father, instead of being so secretive now, why not kill this person directly so that we, father and son, can act wantonly."
Pei Renji rubbed his eyebrows and smiled bitterly.
"Xingyan, as a father, you need to think carefully about this matter. It involves everyone in our Pei family."
"If you are not careful, not to mention you and me, father and son, even these tens of thousands of soldiers will not be left behind."
"What's more, who is Li Mi? He was able to become the leader of Wagang Village by relying on his cunning and scheming."
"At that time, I could still look up to him. But then, I didn't even sit down on Duke Wei's seat..."
"I couldn't wait to kill all the people in Zhai Rang's family. This kind of method really makes me a little frightened."
"So, whether it is to stay under the Dongdu City or to join him, Li Mi, it is not the best policy to say the least."
"This is why I hesitated and decided to go back to Hulao before making a decision."
Pei Xingyan opened his mouth, but finally sat down and slammed his fist on his leg.
He is a military commander, he understands military strategy and is wise in planning. Whether it is marching an army or leading an army in battle, he can be regarded as extremely talented.
However, when it comes to dealing with those old officials and veteran officials, or thinking about the intrigues outside the battlefield, he really feels helpless and powerless.
"Father, we, father and son, work hard and shed our blood for the sake of the court.
But those bastards in Dongdu, apart from bossing around, have never done anything good to our father and son."
"Even our military rations and equipment are mostly obtained from Yang Liushou. It's really frustrating for me to continue working for those bastards like this."
After complaining for a few times, Pei Xingyan suddenly rolled his eyes.
"Father, Yang Liushou treats us father and son very kindly. He even said before that if we have any difficulties, just ask him to talk..."
Pei Renji glared at Pei Xingyan angrily and said.
"That's what I say, but do you think you can tell him what we are going to do now?"
"So what if I know. Maybe Yang Liushou, who has no contact with those bastards in Dongdu, can understand the difficulties of our father and son."
"..."
"General, Sun Wuji, the commander-in-chief of Yang Qian's command in the Eastern Capital, would like to see you."
"..." Pei Renji and his son couldn't help but look at each other. How come Yang Qian had just been mentioned, and now the people he sent came to ask for an audience? It was such a coincidence.
#####
Pei Xingyan, who was standing outside the tent to greet him, looked particularly cheerful with his laughter.
"It's actually Changsun Changshi, and General Yuchi is also here. It's really a rare visitor, please hurry up and invite me..."
"I've met Major General Pei, please..." Changsun Wuji laughed and followed Pei Xingyan into the military tent.
Pei Renji didn't dare to take the big shot, so he stood in the tent and exchanged greetings before the guests and the host sat down separately.
However, after sitting down, Changsun Wuji took a sip of the tea brought by his soldiers, and then said with a smile.
"Over the past few days, General Pei and his son have sacrificed their lives and fought fiercely on the battlefield for the safety of the Eastern Capital...
Let me admire you so much. Even if my family stays behind, I also admire your father and son's great achievements."
"Today, my family who stayed behind heard that General Pei left Dongdu and headed east, and couldn't help but feel worried..."
"What is Yang Liushou worried about? Is he worried that there will be no one to guard Dongdu?" Pei Renji asked with a smile, his eyelids slightly raised.
"No, I just feel that General Pei has encountered something difficult. Otherwise, why would the Pei family and his son lead their army and abandon the Eastern Capital?"
"Changsun Changshi was joking. Our father and son never abandoned the Eastern Capital and left. It's just that after successive battles, the soldiers are tired and want to take a good rest and reorganize their morale."
"If you still stay in Dongdu, I think Changsun Changshi will know about it. If you can't leave the camp, I really don't know what the people in Dongdu will think."
Changsun Wuji nodded. "That's the truth, but it's not the truth either."
Regardless of the faces of Pei Renji and his son, Changsun Wuji said another word.
"It seems that in the eyes of General Pei and his son, the friendship between Yang Liushou and the general and his son is really too weak..."
Changsun Wuji raised his hand. "General Pei, I have my own reasons for saying this."
"Just now when I entered the camp, I met Xiao Huaijing.
Maybe General Pei knows that my family has dealt with him, but he just doesn’t know how?"
The father and son looked at each other, and Pei Renji's heart moved, and he bowed to Changsun Wuji sincerely.
"Pei had heard Yang Liushou talk about Xiao Huaijing, but he only mentioned it briefly, and he really didn't know the reason.
Since the eldest grandson, Changshi, is willing to be honest, then my father and son are naturally willing to hear the details."
#####
Changsun Wuji made no bones about it and told Xiao Huaijing to follow the orders of those bastards in Dongdu and go to Yang Qian's army.
As a result, Yang Qian directly counterattacked with brutal and unreasonable means. After that, the dignified Dongdu stayed behind and garrisoned troops in Luokou. The reasons for not entering the Dongdu were all stated in the account.
"Happy!" Pei Xingyan slammed his big hand on his leg, his face looking refreshed, but he seemed to think that Xiao Huaijing was beside his father and son at the moment, and he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated and angry.
"Having said so much, perhaps the general and his son should already know the purpose of my trip."
Changsun Wuji looked at the Pei family and his son with complicated and tangled expressions with burning eyes.
"There is one more thing, which is the purpose of my coming here today. My family left behind asked me to give a message to the two generals: If you have any difficulties, just ask."
"Oh, also, my family stayed behind to see that General Pei and his son have been stationed beside Dongdu to serve the country.
However, Hulao Pass is a dangerous place in the Central Plains. If General Pei and his son lead the army outside for a long time, someone may raise troops to occupy it. Therefore, I have already issued an order for General Xu Shiji to garrison Hulao."
As soon as these words came out, Pei Renji and Pei Xingyan, father and son, both changed their expressions.
But at this moment, Yuchi Jingde heard the slightly messy and messy footsteps outside the Chinese army's tent.
And that deliberately high-pitched voice was heard in the tent, and Yuchi Jingde, who had been sitting peacefully under Changsun Wuji, suddenly stood up.
Holding the ring-headed sword at his waist, he stood up to Changsun Wuji's side. This move immediately made the Pei family and his son's hearts tremble.
Changsun Wuji's expression did not change at all, he looked at Pei Renji and his son with a smile.
