At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 822
The setting sun illuminated the banner, the wind howled, and the wind in the winter moon was bleak and bitter, as well as cutting faces like a knife.Pei Xingyan sat proudly on the horse's back with his horse's spear upside down. The blood on the spear's tip was blown down drop by drop with the north wind, and finally fell into the billowing dust. A demon god who drains blood and drinks cold.

On the opposite side, four or five disabled horses flinched in the north wind and sunset. The knights on horseback panicked and despaired. The leader held a spear in his hand and stared fiercely at Pei Xingyan.This person is called Zhang Shan'an, and he is a bandit commander entrenched in Lujiang County. He has more than [-] troops under his command, and he is a relatively powerful separatist force in Anhui.

Some time ago, Pei Xingyan's leg injuries had just recovered. Seeing that Shen Faxing had died, he took the initiative to ask Ying to sweep the area around Lujiang County to appease the commander-in-chief Zhang Shanan.Gao Bufan agreed, and ordered him to lead an army of [-] to go there.

Pei Xingyan was overjoyed, ordered Qi soldiers and set off, first sent someone to contact Zhang Shan'an, and conveyed Daqi Emperor's wish to recruit peace, but the latter refused, hey, this fell right into Pei Xingyan's arms, this kid was originally a war madman After being injured for more than half a year, he was already bored, and after the last big defeat, he just needed a victory to prove himself and regain his confidence.

So Zhang Shan'an refused to accept the recruitment, Pei Xingyan was happy instead of angry, and immediately ordered to attack, poor Zhang Shan'an was just a small character, who was a powerful opponent of the Qi army, he was beaten everywhere, and finally fled.

Pei Xingyan hadn't had a good fight yet, so he led the army to chase all the way, from Lujiang County to Tong'an County, from Tong'an County to Jinchun County, and finally caught up with Zhang Shan'an by the Xishui River. The poor man was caught up with only There are three soldiers left, it is not ordinary.

With Xishui and the setting sun behind him, and madman Pei holding a horse in front of him, Zhang Shanan broke out in despair, and he roared with a ferocious expression: "Leave a line in life, so that we can meet each other in the future. People with the surname Pei, don't be too good at being a man." Absolutely, if you are convenient for others, you are convenient for yourself, don’t you understand this truth?”

Pei Xingyan smiled and said: "I will give you a chance, but it's a pity that you don't want it yourself. Who is to blame?"

Zhang Shan'an murmured in his heart, I didn't know that lunatic Pei Pei was so capable of fighting, if I knew it earlier, I would have surrendered early in the morning.

It turned out that Pei Xingyan was defeated by Li Zitong and others before, and almost the entire army was wiped out. Even he himself was rumored to be killed, so Zhang Shan'an inevitably felt contemptuous, and with [-] troops, he surrendered without a fight. Unwilling to be reconciled, he rejected Pei Xingyan's offer of security. As soon as the fight broke out, Zhang Shan'an discovered that Pei Xingyan, the "defeated general", was so powerful that he was beaten to death. At this time, he wanted to surrender again, but Pei Xingyan was not allowed. , I had no choice but to flee desperately.

Zhang Shanan's complexion changed for a while, and he gritted his teeth and said, "A certain family had blind eyes before and offended General Pei's prestige. Can General Pei give you another chance?"

Pei Xingyan laughed heartily and said, "Forget it, I will give you another chance. If you, Zhang Shan'an, can parry ten rounds under this general, I will let you go."

Zhang Shanan rolled his eyes and said, "Really?"

Pei Xingyan said proudly: "I will stand upright with my fist, run a horse on my shoulder, spit on a nail, and keep my word."

Zhang Shan'an clasped his hands and said, "General Pei is really heroic and righteous, but General Pei's martial arts skills are superb, a certain family may not be able to receive General Pei's ten moves, or the three soldiers of a certain family will also attack together?"

Pei Xingyan said generously: "No problem, if you take action together, we will clean up together and save time."

Zhang Shan'an secretly rejoiced, hehe, this kid Pei Xingyan is indeed brave and foolhardy, no wonder he followed Li Zitong's advice, it's really stupid to make such a big deal after suffering a loss once.

Zhang Shan'an sneered in his heart, but he complimented him: "General Pei is indeed full of courage. No wonder people call him the enemy of ten thousand people, and a certain family is extremely admired."

Pei Xingyan lifted his horse, and shouted impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense, come on, my general's horse is already hungry and thirsty."

Zhang Shan'an winked at the three guards, and the three guards immediately clamped their horse's belly and approached Pei Xingyan in the shape of "Pin", while Zhang Shan'an raised his gun and killed him in the middle.

A cold light flashed in Pei Xingyan's eyes, and he slammed the horse's belly, and the dismounted horse suddenly galloped out like an arrow, and the lightning hit Zhang Shan'an, and the man, horse, and lance almost formed a straight line, which was so fast that people were stunned. One of the guards was about to swing their knives to attack, but they all missed, not even touching a hair.

Zhang Shan'an turned pale with shock, raised his gun in a hurry and stabbed him, but he stopped abruptly halfway through the stabbing. He felt a cold flash in front of his eyes, a coldness in his chest, and he left the saddle like riding a cloud and flew into the air.

Zhang Shan'an looked down and was stunned for a second before he realized that his chest had been pierced by Ma Qiang, and his whole body was lifted into the air. Below was Pei Xingyan's cold and ferocious face. At this time, Zhang Shan'an felt heart-wrenching There was severe pain like cracking lungs, and he let out a shrill scream.

Pei Xingyan raised the spear with one hand, and lifted Zhang Shan'an high on the tip of the spear. Blood flowed down, while the horse under his crotch continued to gallop forward until it reached the edge of Xishui before turning a corner and running back.

"Go!" Pei Xingyan yelled, the horse swayed, Zhang Shan'an flew out from the tip of the lance, and fell heavily in front of the horses of the three soldiers. There was a blood hole in his chest, and the blood was pouring.

Zhang Shan'an's three guards were all frightened, they rolled off their horses as soon as they threw their weapons, and kept begging for mercy.

Zhang Shan'an hadn't lost his breath at this time, and looked at the majestic Pei Xingyan in horror. At this moment, he realized that Pei Xingyan was not stupid, he was confident. In the face of absolute powerful force, all schemes and schemes were vulnerable. You think you are smart, but others dismiss you.

Zhang Shan'an struggled a few times, and finally died out of breath, and his three personal soldiers, Pei Xingyan, didn't bother to kill them, so he ordered his men to tie up and retreat in triumph.

Pei Xingyan cut off Zhang Shan'an's head, and sent people to Wangjiang County to report victory to Gao Bufan.

In Wangjiang County, Gao Bufan couldn't help but smile when he received Pei Xingyan's victory report. After wiping out Zhang Shan'an's group, Xingyan should have come out of the shadow of the previous failure.

Du Ruhui had to praise and said: "General Pei really deserves the name of being an enemy of thousands of people. He captured Lujiang County, Tong'an County and Jinchun County in the first battle. Your Majesty, I think it's time to launch a general attack on Lin Shihong."

Gao Bufan nodded. Tong'an County and Jiujiang County are across the river, and Jinchun County is in the upper reaches of Jiujiang. In this way, the Qi army has basically formed an encirclement of Lin Shihong's territory. It is time to launch a general offensive. If it goes well , the war should be over by the end of the year.

At the moment, Gao Bufan ordered Yu Chigong to lead the navy to attack Jiujiang again. At the same time, he ordered Liu Heita and Du Fuwei to continue to advance westward and capture Poyang County, while Su Dingfang moved westward along Jian'an County to attack Nankang County. southern Jiangxi Province.

At the same time, Gao Bufan ordered Pei Xingyan to organize a navy to attack Jiujiang County from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

Pei Xingyan hadn't gotten enough of the fight yet, after receiving Gao Bufan's order, he immediately ran to Jiangxia County next to Lechun County, and found his old man Pei Renji to second the ship.

At this time, Pei Renji had taken Jiangxia County for more than a month, and he was stationed at the confluence of the Han River and the Yangtze River, which is now Hankou.

Both Pei Renji and his son were very sad when they met each other. Pei Renji had only one son, Pei Xingyan. When he received the news of his son's death at the beginning of this year, he had aged for several years. On the way back to Luoyang for the funeral, he fainted several times and fell off his horse. Knowing that his son was not dead, he fainted with joy.

It's just that Pei Renji is a strict traditional feudal parent. When he saw his son, he raised his father's majesty, reprimanded him with a straight face, and asked Pei Xingyan why he came, and immediately transferred the boat for him.

Pei Xingyan got the boat, kowtowed respectfully to Lao Tzu three times, and then led the navy to go down the river eastward, heading straight to Jiujiang County downstream.

At this time, the navy led by Yu Chigong also sailed to the vicinity of the lower reaches of Jiujiang, and once again sent brothers Cui Zijian and Cui Zisheng to lead the battle.

When Feng An saw that it was the Cui brothers who had lost the battle last time, he couldn't help being surprised, but as an experienced veteran, he did not take it lightly, and immediately ordered the deployment of troops to prepare for the battle!
