Nagato has such a slim waist

The betrayal of the three generals Han, Chu and Hu was an extremely shocking thing to the soldiers of the Beiyong Army. They could not even figure out why these three people had betrayed the general...

However, the main force of the Beiyong Army is currently in Xinzhou City. If they abandon Xinzhou and rush to help merge the state, the Qi army will definitely take Xinzhou directly, which will be more than worth the loss for the Jin army.

However, the Huben and Long Ji troops closest to Xinzhou have not sent reinforcements for a long time.

Just this morning, news came from China.

The court forces headed by Li Zongxun wrote to the court on the grounds that General Pei was "greedy for merit and rash", believing that the Jin Dynasty should keep its current victory and guard the five towns of Andu and Wanning north of the Huai River. Shinshu invested a lot of military and material resources.We should not advance further into Bingzhou, where our troops would be in danger.The victory is due to Pei Madang, but if he loses, the war between Jin and Qi will turn into a decline, which is really not advisable...

This statement was approved by most civil servants.

More than a year after Pei Madang led his troops on the expedition, in order to stabilize the status of his grandson and daughter in the Jinluan Palace, Li Zongxun formed a party for personal gain, eliminated dissidents, and established the Da Nei Ti Cavalry Division to restrain hundreds of officials, dilute and divide the opposition forces, and gradually controlled the government, almost No one dared to sing against him.

But Quanquan is sincere and gives up on Pei Madang and the Beiyong Army.

Li Zongxun was able to get rid of Pei Mad, a great hero who made him afraid to the point of having trouble sleeping and eating, without spending a single soldier. It can be said that he killed two birds with one stone...

Of course, Queen Mother Li didn't think so.

"Pei Lang is loyal to me and will never fail. Father, only by retaining the generals and loyal ministers of the Jin Dynasty can my son's country be stable."

Li Zongxun only said that she was confused.

"Pei Mad leads the elite troops of the Jin Dynasty, and they only obey his orders. He can conquer Qi State, or he can raise his troops to rebel and strike at Zhongjing. If he raises his troops, how can you stop him? With Pei Mad in his sight, You and I can't really sleep in peace. He is like a thorn stuck in the throat. Only by pulling it out can we find peace."

Li Sangruo doesn't want to give up on Pei Mad, which is one aspect.

On the other hand, she didn't want to completely become her father's puppet.

That day, the father and daughter had a lot of arguments in the Jiade Hall, and their faces turned red when they talked excitedly.

The next day, an imperial edict came down, ordering Huben and Long Ji to each dispatch [-] elite troops to assist Xinzhou...

The men in the army know how to fight, but they know little about court and politics.

The soldiers all said that the Queen Mother was kind and righteous and had not forgotten the Northern Yong Army.

However, by the time Huben and Long Jijun arrived in Xinzhou, the day lilies were already cold.

In the battle of Bingzhou, they have to fight it themselves.

In the Chinese army camp, the generals expressed their opinions and became red-faced.

Pei Manleng sat down, expressionless, and listened motionless.

The wind in Bingzhou today is very strong, howling through the roofs, as if it is going to swallow up the world and sweep away the heaven and earth.

Deng Guang of the Orange Crane Army came out and cupped his hands.

"General, the last general is willing to lead his troops to break through. The last general took advantage of the night to attack the Qi army's barracks outside the city to build siege fortifications. The general led his troops from the north of the city to the Hongye Valley. The Qi State did not send heavy troops there, and Han, Chu, and Hu rebelled. When the general is under actual control and killed, the soldiers under his command are very afraid and they will not dare to use all their strength to stop the general..."

He was very analytical.

The enthusiasm in the camp was quickly ignited.

Everyone was chattering and expressing their opinions.

Pei Ran: "There's no hurry."

Everyone looked at him blankly.

This is the most difficult battle since the Beiyong Army went on the expedition.

Bingzhou was surrounded, as if falling into the tiger's open bloody mouth, all the generals were so anxious that they were almost smoking.

The general was very calm from beginning to end.

He is the manager, always has been.

Even if the sky falls, I'm afraid I won't even frown.

But when something is urgent, we have to deal with it no matter what?

Shi Yin also stepped out, stood beside Deng Guang, clasped his fists at Pei Man and said:

"General, in the early battles, the Qi army lost troops and was defeated. Even if we have [-] soldiers and horses, we don't have to be afraid of them. But it's different now. This new emperor who came out halfway is very impressive in terms of momentum. Supporters from top to bottom. The final general thinks that we should break out of the siege and return to Xinzhou, and then make plans..."

Deng Guang said: "The general will second the proposal."

Everyone said in unison: "The general will second my opinion."

Pei Ran glanced at them coldly and said the same thing.

"There is no rush. The main force of the Qi army is still at Hengqu Pass and has not moved at all. The city of Bingzhou is strong, with sufficient food and grass, and the moat is wide. What if he comes to attack?"

Wait……

If you wait any longer, you will lose the last chance to escape Bingzhou.

The atmosphere in the camp was high, and shouts suddenly came from outside the door.

"Report..."

A soldier stood at the door and said loudly:
"The envoys from the Qi army came and asked for an audience outside the city."

The generals looked at each other and were gearing up, "Okay, how dare someone come to persuade you to surrender? Simply kill the envoy to sacrifice the flag, and then lead others to break out..."

Pei Ran stopped their indignation with a cold look.

"Let him in."

The envoy of the Qi army was Yan Buji, Xiao Cheng's staff, an old man with gray temples and a kind face. He was an eloquent contemporary celebrity with many disciples in the north and south, and was highly respected by scholars all over the world.

When Yan Buji entered the camp, he bowed to Pei Madang and the generals thoughtfully, and kept silent about the war between Jin and Qi. He only said that his ancestral home was Pingcheng. In the tenth year of Xifeng, his family crossed the Huai River and settled in Taicheng. of.

Xifeng is the reign name of the first emperor of Jin Dynasty, Yuan Zhu.

He also said that he was a fellow villager with General Pei and was quite close to him.

During the hundred years of chaos in the world, people lived together in a mixed manner, so it was meaningless to talk about their ancestral home.

In terms of ancestors and sects, who is not a relative?
Pei Ran listened patiently without saying a word.The generals were also silent, looking at him eagerly.

Yan Buxixiao analyzed the advantages and disadvantages, and one person was frothing at the mouth, but the generals in the room were not moved, so he raised his sleeves, bowed, and smiled awkwardly.

"Forgive me, General. Seeing old friends in a foreign land, I can't help but talk too much."

Pei Ran said: "Mr. Yan, please tell me your intention."

Yan Buxi took out a document from his sleeve and held it in both hands.

"Emperor Qi is grateful for the hardships faced by the people, wishes to end this endless war as soon as possible, and sincerely requests peace talks with your army..."

When Bingzhou had the upper hand, he sent envoys to negotiate peace.

Obviously Xiao Cheng weighed the pros and cons.

Pei Madang motioned to Zuo Zhong to take the document and unfold it to take a look.

In addition to the situation on both sides and the desolation caused by the war, the only conditions are:

"After the general returns my wife, I will give your army half a day to withdraw from Bingzhou. Otherwise, we will fight to the death."

Pei Ran looked at the last line of words, his dark eyes filled with a hint of coldness.

Then, he tore the document in half in front of Yan Buqi.

"Come here, send all the envoys out of the city."

Yan Buji's expression changed, "General?"

He originally thought it was a sure thing, but Pei Madang refused without saying a word.

Could it be that General Pei didn't understand what Emperor Qi meant?

He thought for a moment and said loudly:
"General, Rong Laofu said bluntly, now is the opportunity for peace talks. Such a good thing is a once-in-a-lifetime event. As everyone knows, the return of Feng, the direct wife of Emperor Qi, is the sincerity of the peace talks between the two parties. And Emperor Qi promised the general the sincerity of the peace talks. They left Bingzhou safely, and even gave away the Wanning, Andu and other places occupied by the Jin army. The city of Xinzhou can also be discussed again. In my opinion, the Qi Emperor is sincere and the general missed the opportunity, which is really not advisable... "

Only then did the generals understand what was written in the letter.

They all looked at Pei Ran.

However, Pei Ran didn't give him another look.

"see a visitor out!"

When Yan Buxi saw this, he repeatedly raised his hands.

"General, a traveler will only know how high the mountain is when he climbs a high mountain, and he will know the depth of the earth when he faces the abyss. If you insist on going your own way and only look at the immediate benefits, you will suffer consequences..."

Pei Ran said: "Mr. Yan, don't persuade others to be kind to be a good minister. Tell Xiao Cheng, fight to the death."

Yan Buji's expression changed, staring at his indifferent face, he snorted heavily and walked away.

"The general is stubborn and does not accept advice. He does not have the magnanimity of a sage or the mind of a wise man. He will capsize the boat and not be able to go far. Just wait and see."

Pei Ran looked at the old man's back without saying a word, thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice:

"Send the order, step up training, build camps and defend the city to avoid friction with the Qi army."

Deng Guang asked: "How can the general defend Bingzhou?"

Pei Madang said: "Xiao Cheng claimed to have an army of 50, but according to my judgment, Hengqu Pass has a maximum of 20 soldiers. But he has support from Dongquan, Fujiang, Chunning and other places, and has a steady supply of food, grass and soldiers. advantage, our army should avoid its edge..."

"General...won't you break out and leave?"

Pei Ran said: "Just wait for the opportunity."

The generals suddenly fell silent.

The Beiyong Army had a total of 20 men. They defeated the five towns of Wanning and Andu and divided their troops to garrison. Xinzhou left another 5 troops, and Bingzhou City only had [-] men at most...

Moreover, there are currently many wounded soldiers in the camp and the lack of medical treatment is a serious problem.

Even more terrifying than this is the invisible black hand in the court.

As the leading general, Pei Madang, Huben and Long Ji openly disobeyed orders and refused to help. Who gave him the courage?

They have been fighting for more than a year, going through life and death, and have made great contributions to the Jin State. But now they are trapped in Bingzhou, and those people in the court who are well-dressed and well-fed can do it with just a few words from Li Zongxun. It is somewhat chilling to completely ignore them...

They also understand the principle of "when the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden".

Compared to Qi Jun, Li Zongxun's most serious problem was Pei Mang...

In the struggle for power in the court, those innocent soldiers are pitiful.

"Go down."

"The last will obey."

Everyone saluted in unison, and just as they left, Zuo Zhong hurried in.

"General, there is good news and bad news..."

Pei Madang was looking at the map and didn't even raise his head when he heard the sound.

"Say."

Zuo Zhongdao: "The good news is... the girl brought medicine to Xinzhou, and Qin Dajin has transported some of the medicine and grain to Bingzhou."

Pei Ran paused his fingers slightly and looked up at her.

Zuo Zhong hesitated and said: "The bad news is... the girl is also here, but she is not with Tan Dajin."

Pei Madang was silent for a moment. There was no surprise on his face that Zuo Zhong thought, but a slight frown on his brows.

"What about people?"

Zuo Zhong didn't know how to continue, his eyelids twitching, "The scouts came to report that the girl passed through the Red Leaf Valley at dusk, suddenly changed course on the Ghost River, and her whereabouts were missing..."
