Pei Shaokuan was not stupid. When he heard that the Liao army surrounding him revealed his identity and was ordered to go south to quell the rebellious Jinzhou army, he knew that he was in trouble. Sure enough, the Liao army on the opposite side sent someone over and said he was his general.
An order was passed, asking Commander Pei to go to the city gate immediately to meet him.
"What nonsense is the Liao army? There are no such unreasonable officers and soldiers in the world. Why should they take our people? It's fine if we go, but let our brother go first. Otherwise, don't call him a general."
Even when the commander-in-chief comes to suppress the situation, the brothers don’t even look at him!"
"Sir, they are soldiers, and we are soldiers too, why should we listen to him! According to my subordinates, we will fight them to see who can outsmart the other!"
"Yes, his Liao army has one head on his head, and we have one head on our head. We are still in the Beijing camp, so why should his Liao army order us! Sir, ignore this military order. As long as you say a word, your subordinates will follow you.
They did it!"
Several officers who were still a little drunk were talking big words under the influence of alcohol. They all had red faces and thick necks, and they seemed to be heroes who were not afraid of death. One guy was shouting and vomiting out.
Yes, I yelled and cursed a few words, then vomited for a while and cursed a few words again. This went on and on, and the smelly things spit out made the people around me feel sick.[
Pei Shaokuan also drank a lot of wine, but he was soberer than anyone else. The reason why he led his people to fight against the Liao army was because he was drunk because he was angry that the Liao army did not give him face!
If you don’t fight, that’s too damn bullying!
After all, he, Pei Shaokuan, is also a fourth-level commander, with thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, and yet he is bullied into shitting and peeing on his head, how can he still face this!
Even if he, Pei Shaokuan, doesn't want this face, he still wants this face in the capital camp! If this matter reaches the capital, he, Pei Shaokuan, will never think of straightening up in front of his colleagues in the future!
Since the founding of the country by Taizu, no one has dared to ride on top of the capital camp to dominate. If the Liao army were to defeat him, everyone in the capital camp would not scold him to death!
It doesn’t matter whether the Liao army can fight or not, I won’t let you disarm me until I die. If you have the ability, just step over my body!
Alcohol affects the brain, turning a coward into a strong man. Coupled with the instigation from a group of drunken people who didn't know what to do, Pei Shaokuan did something courageous for once. In his opinion, as long as he persisted in not surrendering, Liao Shaokuan could win.
The army can't do anything to him. Is it possible that they dare to really charge at him? In that case, that's fine. Your Jinzhou army will become a rebel just like Kong Youde from Dongjiang!
But now that the other party has revealed his identity and has the emperor's imperial edict as proof, he, Pei Shaokuan, is already a subordinate of the Liao army named Shi. He has to listen to the military orders given by Shi. Otherwise, he has a hundred reasons.
It is also untenable.
The cold wind blew and the wine woke up. Pei Shaokuan, like Shi Dayong who heard the news, was in a dilemma.
Just obey the order, I really can't bear to show my face. If you don't obey the order, you will be disobeying the order. According to Ming Dynasty military discipline, you will be beheaded.
If this matter had happened a few days ago, Pei Shaokuan would have ignored it at all, but now it is very difficult. The imperial court has assigned him to the commander named Shi from Jinzhou, and he has changed from the Beijing Camp to the First Division of the Liao Army. His surname is
Shi De took advantage of his status as a superior officer to issue military orders, so he couldn't help but Pei Shaokuan disobeyed.
If you obey orders, you will lose face; if you disobey orders, you will lose your head.
Undecided, Pei Shaokuan hesitated, looking at the Liao army glaring at the opposite side with a worried look on his face.
"Sir, what's there to think about? If you don't want to go, the brothers can protect you and rush out with a bloody path!"
"Brothers, pick up the guy and let's get out of the city while keeping the master safe!"
"Fight it, fight it! If you don't steam the steamed buns, you'll lose your breath!"
""
A few drunkards started making noise there again.
Seeing these bastards who were worried about the world being in chaos, Pei Shaokuan was so angry that he stamped his foot and cursed: "Shut up, I'm all here!"
Hearing the sound, several drunkards were stunned. The boss who had vomited violently just now couldn't bear the dizziness in his head. He threw his head up and fell to sleep. He also made a very comfortable snoring sound, which made Pei Shaokuan breathless.
I feel like scolding my mother.[
The soldiers in the Beijing camp were still sober. The officers drank too much, but they did not drink. Looking at the posture of the Liao army on the opposite side, if they really rushed out by force, they would be dumped by the opponent immediately, and there would be no way to fight back.
Therefore, when the officers heard that they wanted to rush out by force, they all shook their heads instinctively, and even thought that if the commander really wanted to rush out, then they would go out and surrender on their own. Anyway, the other party was also an officer, so it was impossible to really kill them.
The worst he could do to save his life was to be whipped.
Pei Shaokuan was not idle either. While racking his brains to think of a choice, he was also observing the reactions of his men. When he sobered up, he was very shrewd. He could see at a glance that these scoundrels would not resist him to the end.
, even these drunkards who scream fiercely will give up immediately as soon as they wake up from drinking.
After turning around for a few times, he rolled his eyes and suddenly jumped up on the chair next to him. From a high position, he shouted to the soldiers very boldly: "The Liao army bullied people too much. A man can tolerate it, but no one can tolerate it! Brothers, let's go.
Let’s go find them to settle accounts!”
After saying that, without waiting for the soldiers to react, they jumped off the chair and walked out first.
Only then did the more than one hundred soldiers from the Beijing camp react, and they all shouted loudly: "Go and settle accounts with the Liao army! Go and settle the accounts with the Liao army!"
There was a sudden shouting on the other side, saying something about settling a score with the Liao army. Shao Wu was stunned after hearing this, thinking that the enemy was going to fight to the death and the net was broken, so he quickly ordered the gunmen to be on guard. If the opponent really came over, he would fire the gun immediately.
At this point, Shao Wu couldn't care less about who the other party was. Anyway, the general had told him that anyone who disobeyed the order would be killed immediately.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the gunmen raised their guns, a military attaché with a leopard embroidered on his front walked swaggeringly from the opposite side. He had a look of fear on his face and even more disdain at the corner of his mouth, as if he didn't care about the Liao in front of him at all.
The army takes it seriously.
When he was only a dozen feet away from the Liao army, Pei Shaokuan stopped and raised his voice: "Pei Shaokuan, the commander of the Beijing camp, which general of the Liao army is opposite?"
Shao Wu didn't know what the opponent was going to do, but the opponent was of a higher rank than him, so he cupped his hands and said, "Shao Wu, the last general guarding Liao Town, has seen Commander Pei!"
"It turns out it's Shao Shou." Pei Shaokuan only nodded slightly, taking full advantage of the airs of the commander of the Beijing camp, and walked up to Shao Wu, "I'd like Shao Shou to lead the way. I want to meet your General Shi for a while."
Shao Wu pointed at the saber on his waist: "Then please, Master Pei, hand over the saber."
Hearing this, Pei Shaokuan was furious: "Damn it, my sword was given by the Emperor himself. Why should I give it to you when the sword is still there?"
"I'm sorry, my general has an order. Today, everyone in the capital camp must hand over their weapons. Otherwise, I will forgive you!" After Shao Wu finished speaking, he waved his hand behind him, and four Jinzhou soldiers immediately surrounded him.
Seeing that the other party was about to use his own sword, Pei Shaokuan was shocked and frightened, and shouted: "How dare you!" He turned around and shouted behind him, "Where are our soldiers from the Beijing camp!"
Then before he finished speaking, he was stunned on the spot. He saw more than a hundred subordinates looking at him in embarrassment. Fire blunderbuss and long knives were scattered everywhere on the ground. Among the crowd, there was also the man who was shouting fiercely just now.
A few drunkards.
The Beijing camp had all been disarmed. Shao Wu was too lazy to talk nonsense with the commander of the Beijing camp and waved his hand: "Take it down!"
"I've already handed over my sword, why are you still trying to take me back?"
Pei Shaokuan couldn't lose face and struggled to prevent the Liao soldiers from attacking him. But how could he defeat four people with his own strength? After struggling for a while, he also left the Liao soldiers. Those soldiers in the Beijing camp saw that their commander was killed by the Liao soldiers.
After taking it down, no one was angry and looked at it as if watching the fun. Everyone in Jinzhou looked at it with amusement and contempt.
Pei Shaokuan was full of anger and kept cursing along the way. The Nai Liao soldiers did not pay any attention to who he was as a commander, so it was useless for him to yell all the way. When he finally saw the real master, he couldn't help but said angrily: "
I am the emperor's personal commanding officer, how dare your Liao army attack me!"
When he shouted, the camp commander, one of the few drunkards in the crowd, also shouted: "The imperial court sent your Liao army to enter the pass to suppress thieves, but it was not for you to come and suppress our Beijing camp. In the eyes of your Liao army, there are still
The imperial court!"[
Another chief officer also shouted: "We will definitely report this matter to the imperial court. Just wait, and the Holy Spirit will definitely punish you!"
The drunken officers yelled and whispered, but Shi Dayong was not angry. He listened to them one by one. When the other party couldn't yell anything, he raised his whip, pointed at Pei Shaokuan, and asked: "Are you Pei Shaokuan?"
"it's me!"
Pei Shaokuan raised his head with an angry look on his face: "What do you Liao army want to do? If you want to kill or cut into pieces, just drop the words and I, Pei, will follow!"
"Master Pei is really brave, I admire you!"
Shi Dayong glanced at Pei Shaokuan very approvingly. In the eyes of the other party's doubtful eyes, he suddenly turned cold and shouted: "Come here, give me thirty military sticks on him!"
After he gave this order, the faces of everyone in the capital suddenly changed. Pei Shaokuan even opened his mouth. He couldn't believe his ears and said in shock: "You dare!"
Shi Dayong said coldly: "Why don't I dare?" He shouted again, "You haven't done anything yet!"
"Follow the order!"
Immediately, two soldiers stepped forward and pushed Pei Shaokuan to the ground without any explanation, but they didn't know what to use. This was not a government hall, and there were torture tools such as killing sticks. The Jinzhou army did not have the equipment to enforce military law.
, so the two of them stood there and looked at Shi Dayong stupidly.
"Use this!" Shi Dayong threw the riding crop in his hand.
When the riding crop fell to the ground, Pei Shaokuan was shocked and said anxiously: "Shi, do you know who my uncle is!"
"Who is it?" Shi Dayong was very interested. At the critical moment, Master Pei did not forget to bring in reinforcements.
Pei Shaokuan sneered: "So that you know that my uncle is the abbot of the current Zhou Dynasty!"
Zhou Guozhang? The Queen’s Empress’ father?!
What Pei Shaokuan said made everyone present change their expressions. All the generals in Jinzhou looked at Shi Dayong in unison, as if they were saying to Shi Dayong: This person cannot be tortured!
