Yuan Shu's few words made the Wagang thieves on the opposite side feel discouraged and began to scheming among themselves!
"I'm afraid that Pei Renji doesn't know that he has been plotted, right?"
Thinking of this, Yuan Shu immediately withdrew from the Nandun city wall, returned to the military tent, dipped his pen in ink and wrote a letter, and handed it to Hai Donglai, the commander of Santuhe, asking Hai Donglai to go out of the city in person and secretly send it to Pei Renji.
After Hai Donglai received the letter from Yuan Shu, he quickly disappeared into the darkness and sped towards the Wagang thieves!
This letter of his was to completely ignite the tinderbox of internal strife among the generals of the Wagang Army. When the "human and material evidence" was presented, Pei Renji could not argue at all, and even if he did not die, he would lose his skin.
"We have to make another trip to Pei Yuanqing's place. We also need to arrange people to take over the Pei family in Wagangzhai!"
How to secretly bring the Pei family back from Wagang Village is a bit tricky. If the dispatched personnel are not strong enough, it is very likely that they will alert the enemy and end up backfire.
"Gao Jineng and the others are very capable. We can call them! Dian Wei and Xu Chu seem to have returned from Yangzhou. Why don't we send Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong as well?"
Regarding the specific personnel scheduling, Yuan Shu has not yet made a decision. Let’s wait until Haidong Lai returns smoothly!
While Yuan Shu was still thinking about countermeasures in the military tent, the defensive battle of Nanton came to an end as the thieves retreated. Jia Fu, Tian Yunpeng, Tie Lei Babao, Bi Shu, Bi Han, Bi Chen, Wen Tianxiang, and Xin Qiji were responsible for defending the city.
, Yuan Fang and more than ten generals came to Yuan Shu's tent. (Yuwen Chengdu led his troops to cut off the retreat of the Wagang thieves)
"Lord, our army has suffered heavy casualties in this battle. There are still more than 3,000 fighting men left in the city, and the reserve army and the new army only have 5,000 people in total. If we continue to fight like this, we may not be able to resist."
In response to the fierce attack by the Wagang bandits day and night, at any cost, Nandun City defender Jia Fu and others tried their best to resist, but casualties were inevitable.
The fiercer the enemy's offensive, the greater the price paid, and the greater the casualties of the defensive soldiers in Nanton City Wall. If this continues, Yuan Jun's soldiers here will be finished before the city gate is breached!
"Pass me the order to have Ji Ling, who is responsible for guarding Xincai, and Han Hao, who is responsible for guarding Fubo, each leading 3,000 men to come to support.
I don’t care if they have so many people under their command, they must be stationed in Nanton City within five days. If they don’t have enough troops, let them borrow them. Xiyang and Shansang counties have not yet experienced war, and strong troops and horses can be used..."
Insufficient troops is not a problem at all. Since the Wagang bandits dare to go deep into Yuzhou alone and want to take Runan directly, they must be prepared to be consumed by the troops that continuously come to support them!
As long as we persist for a few more days, reinforcements will arrive, and it will be a brand new situation.
Just as Yuan Shu was deploying the troops responsible for guarding the city these days, Na Haidonglai happened to return from the Wagang bandits. The letter was delivered smoothly, and no one noticed that there was something extra on Pei Renji's military account slip.
Now that Haidong is back and all the generals in the military tent are also there, he will choose a few people to go to Wagang Village to bring back the Pei family. The specific time to go depends on Wagang Pei Renji and the people in the prison.
Pei Yuanqing cooperated.
"In this combat operation, Hai Donglai, headed by Hai Donglai, was responsible for leading the team to hide and sneak into Wagang Village, contact and bring back Pei Renji's wife and several of his sons.
Later I will ask General Gao Jineng to bring his centipede bag and go with you to be responsible for the assassination and cover of the team!
I have also transferred two generals, Dian Wei and Xu Chu, who can serve as the main output of combat power and the backstop.
In addition, General Yang Youji is responsible for tracking and shooting the enemy from a distance.
The five of you will cooperate with each other in this battle, and we must bring the Pei family back smoothly!"
With the assignment of Yuan Shu's battle plan completed, Hai Donglai stepped forward to receive the military talisman, then exited the tent and waited for the arrival of several generals.
at the same time!
Generals such as Wang Junke, Qu Tugai and Qu Tutong of Wagangzhai were forced to withdraw their troops because they could not attack Nandun City for a long time.
After cleaning the battlefield, Wang Junke and others led the troops back to the barracks to reorganize and rest with a sad look on their faces. During this period, a soldier hurriedly broke into the tent, made a plop, knelt down in front of Wang Junke and the others, and said bluntly:
A letter suspected to be sent by Yuan Jun was found in Pei Renji's military tent!
"What! Is this really happening?"
"General, it is absolutely true. I saw with my own eyes that the letter had not been opened and was placed in the lower left corner of Pei Renji's document."
At this moment, Wang Junke, Qu Tugai, and Qu Tutong looked excited. Before they had time to take off their armor, they rushed out of the tent and ran towards Pei Renji's military tent.
"Go and invite General Sheng Yanshi here. I want to catch the spies for our Wagang Village in front of everyone!"
In about a quarter of an hour, Wang Junke and three men led more than a hundred soldiers under his command to break into Pei Renji's military tent. At this time, Pei Renji was still dealing with military affairs and had not returned to the tent to rest. As a result, the letter on the case was just right.
It was captured by Wang Junke and others.
"General Sheng Yanshi has arrived!"
Wearing silver tiger armor, Master Sheng Yan strode into the military tent. As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw the letter in Wang Junke's hand.
"Open directly"
After Wang Junke handed the letter in his hand to the commander-in-chief, Master Sheng Yan, he consciously stepped back, not wanting to be affected by the anger of Master Sheng Yan.
Master Sheng Yan opened the envelope and read ten lines at a glance. The more he read, the angrier he became. His eyes widened, veins popped out on his forehead, his face turned red, and he was furious.
In the letter he held, Yuan Shu called Pei Renji "Brother Pei" in order to get closer, and the intimacy in his tone made many thieves present have their own thoughts.
"The Wagang thieves are coming with great force. Thanks to Brother Pei's help, we were able to avoid the fall of Nanton City. I will never forget such a great kindness.
Our city of Nandun is full of food and grass, with countless elite soldiers and generals, and the people are united as one. I have the right time, place, and people in my hands. Even if Sheng Yanshi, Wang Junke and others lead the army to attack day and night, I, Yuan Jiu, will also
No fear at all!
The enemy in Wagang will be defeated sooner or later. The highway also asks Brother Pei to lead the army with General Pei Yuanqing to join us in Yuzhou when the bandits in Wagang are defeated... (10,000 words are omitted here)"
In the letter, Yuan Shu also mentioned Pei Yuanqing's situation in prison many times, and told Pei Renji to relax. Pei Yuanqing was treated well in his place, and he was accompanied by big fish and meat for every meal. He was happy to live in Wagang!
The information in the letter about Pei Yuanqing's treatment in prison was intentional by Yuan Shu. The purpose was to make Master Sheng Yan more convinced of what Wang Junke had said before, thus confirming that Pei Renji had rebelled.
