As for who to follow, Pei Ju hasn't actually decided yet, but he is already leaning towards the big man.
There was no other way, so Yu Wenxian mobilized troops with murderous intent.
Pei Ju can no longer place his hope on Yu Wenxian to forgive Pei.
It is impossible for such a heroic figure to easily change his mind after feeling that Pei has betrayed him. Of course, it is not impossible for Yu Wenxian to change his mind, but this naturally means that Wenxi Pei
The family will pay a heavy price, and may even degenerate into a second- or third-rate family that is not even as good as the current Qinghe Cui family.
As the leader of the clan, Pei Ju certainly cannot allow such a thing to happen.
So now we can only hope that the big man can do something for Pei.
Of course, Pei had to do something for the Han first.
Pei Ju's eyes were focused on the documents on the desk. He had complete information on mountains and rivers, terrain, population, acres, etc. in Youzhou, Jizhou and other places. However, Pei Ju believed that what Li Xinchen needed most now was not this, let alone the big man.
The all-pervasive Bai Pao has already sorted out these information clearly. Even if Li Xingchen has nothing, as long as he leads the army into Yecheng, these things will naturally be his spoils.
Even if Pei Ju didn't give them, there would still be people eagerly holding up these things to win the favor of the new dynasty not to kill them.
Mr. Pei, you must do something else.
"Master, there is someone outside claiming to be Tian who wants to see you."
Pei Ju was startled and nodded hurriedly: "Bring him in quickly."
It was Tabata, the white-robed deputy commander, who strode in.
He looked at Pei Ju. It was not the first time that the two of them met. The last time they met, the Han Dynasty was bounded by the Huaihe River and the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Now the Han Dynasty has almost reached the city.
At that time, Pei Ju was still a bit proud, thinking that only if the big man begged the Wenxi Pei family and gave the Wenxi Pei family enough benefits, could he, Pei Ju, be able to do something for the big man. However, Tabata did not ask him, but only gave him a favor.
Ran smiled, turned and left, which made Pei Ju very unhappy, but in order to leave a way out for himself, he did not do anything to Tabata.
But now that time has passed, it is actually my turn to beg Tabata.
"Mr. Pei, you are well and well!" Tabata said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for more than a year, but my heroic spirit has not diminished."
To Pei Ju's ears, these words were full of teasing and ridicule, but he had nothing to do.
Yu Wenxian failed to live up to expectations, so what could be done? If the Northern Zhou army could attack the river in a mighty manner, would it be his turn to be humbled at this time?
"Commander Tian, you are very polite. Please take a seat quickly. Come and watch the tea!" Pei Ju stood up to greet him. He did not go directly to the door, which was his last line.
Tabata had some free time, and today he was very sure about what choice Pei Ju would make.
Pei Ju watched Tian Duan sit down, then returned to his position, and said with a smile: "Commander Tian, someone on the left and right has already retreated. The people standing outside the door are also trusted members of the Pei family. Commander Tian has something to say, but it doesn't matter."
Tabata nodded slightly. Pei Ju was cautious and even a little timid, so he was very relieved in this aspect.
What's more, even if what he said to Pei Ju today spreads out, what will happen? At most, it will only force Wenxi and Pei to stand more firmly on the side of the big man!
Therefore Tabata even hopes that the partition wall will have ears.
"Your Majesty is already aware of Mr. Pei's concerns," Tian Duan said sternly, "Now your Majesty has asked Baipao and Yu Linqi to discuss the rescue of the Wenxi Pei family."
Pei Ju opened his mouth and said hesitantly: "There are hundreds of members of the Pei family. It is probably not that easy to rescue them from the Zhou soldiers. What's more, the elders in the family have already settled down and resettled, and they are getting older. I don't want to rescue them."
I'm afraid it won't be that easy to get them to leave."
Wenxi is the foundation of the Pei family. Only the Pei family who stepped out in Wenxi can be called the orthodox Pei family. Those Pei families who crossed south at the beginning were alienated from the Wenxi family and even lost contact with them.
It also plummeted because there was no support from reputation. Not to mention Wenxi and Pei Bai, who were the symbols of the Pei family. For the older generation of the Pei family, there was nothing they could do to leave their homeland and leave the shadow of Pei Bai. Otherwise, Pei
The family has no foundation and soul.
This is one of the reasons why Pei Ju is wavering now.
He knows what a big man is capable of. It is not impossible to snatch food from a tiger's mouth, but it is possible to rescue one or two direct descendants. If you want to save the entire Wenxi Pei family, it is not a tiger's mouth to snatch food, but a group of tigers.
Took food.
"Pei Gong has misunderstood." Tabata noticed Pei Ju's uncertain expression and hurriedly explained, "White Pao and Yu Linqi will join forces to protect Pei's Village. All Pei Gong needs to do is to keep family members from leaving Pei's Village.
That’s enough. The rest is the task of the Han army, so Pei Gong doesn’t need to worry about it.”
"How do you say this?" Pei Ju was very surprised.
Tabata smiled and said: "Your Majesty has planned to use General Hussar as the commander, take advantage of the ice of the river, directly attack Puzhou, and even sweep across Hedong. When the time comes, he will be under the attack of our Han soldiers. As long as he can defend Peijia Village, then
Mrs. Pei can sit back and relax!"
"Attack Puzhou?" Pei Ju's eyes widened.
Li Xingchen is really brave!
However, he had to admit that if he wanted to break the current situation, this was indeed the best choice. Once Hedong was captured, not only would he be able to directly threaten Jinyang from the south, forcing Yu Wenchun not to use all his strength against Pingcheng, but he would also be able to
Yu Wenxian had to mobilize troops to counterattack or at least strengthen the defenses along the Taihang line west of Yecheng. Otherwise, the Han army would really be able to attack Yecheng from three sides.
Tabata then handed a document to Pei Ju: "White Robe has sent people to hear the news, and the Yulin Cavalry on the south bank is also ready to go, so Pei Gong can rest assured."
Having said this, Tabata couldn't help but smile.
Pei Ju suddenly felt that Tabata's smile was particularly cold, which made him shudder almost subconsciously.
This is not a well-intentioned protection, it is simply a threat!
This is telling Pei Ju that you heard that the Pei family is already under my control, so you should be obedient.
Pei Ju's smile turned bitter. He had no choice before, and he had no choice now.
Without Tabata's further reminder, Pei Ju said directly: "When the army enters the east of Hedong, it is winter again, so food is bound to be tight. The Pei family still has storage and is willing to supply food to the army."
Tabata nodded: "Mr. Pei's kindness should be conveyed to His Majesty."
"Then thank you very much, Commander Tian." Pei Ju stood up and solemnly handed over his hands.
Now Pei is tied to the big man by a rope. No matter whether they live or die, they can only be together. I just hope that Li Xingchen will not let him down.
Tabata took a deep look at Pei Ju.
This guy's words sounded nice, but when the Han army did not kill Wenxi, Wenxi's food could not be sent to the Han army's formation.
But it's not bad for Pei Ju to have this attitude.
