After Pei Zhuer finished speaking, it made the big account laugh. Liu Changle even covered her stomach and exclaimed that her stomach hurt. Pei Zhuer looked confused and scolded Liu Changle: "What are you laughing at? Is it that funny? Are you laughing and trying your brother's fist."

Pei Zhuer and the Liu brothers were both old men who came out of Peijiazhuang with Pei Xiaoer. The same origin made them more close and tacit understanding. On such occasions, only Liu Changle could laugh so unscrupulously.

Qiao Chun suppressed his smile and explained: "What the Pei family army said makes sense, but it is impossible now, because the Sichuan army led by Deng Qi has calculated that it has been four years since the two years since he went north to serve the king. He has not returned to his hometown for four years. You can imagine how much homesickness the Sichuan army should have in his heart?"

Pei Zhuer thought about how many months she had left Shanxi and was already homesick. If she had been wandering outside for four years without any news about her hometown, she could hardly imagine the situation. If she turned to others, the Sichuan soldiers also had parents, wives and children, and had been wandering outside for four years. Whenever night fell, she would think about how desolate the elderly parents and growing children at home would be.

"A good man travels around the world. We won the Shanxi not only to achieve success but also to be the marquis and ministers, but also to achieve our ambitions, to be our wife and children, so that our parents, wife and children can be proud of them. In order to conquer the poor people in the world, we can endure the pain of separation for a while, what does it matter?

Besides, the parting is only temporary. One day, we can lead our army back to Shanxi, so that the bullies who have bullied us in the past have been crawling at our feet and feeling our majesty." Pei Xiaoer's voice suddenly remembered and stopped Qiao Chun who was about to speak.

Only then did Qiao Chun notice that the generals around him bowed their heads and said nothing. It was obvious that the generals present had their hearts. The group of Sichuan troops on the opposite side were leaving their hometowns. They were not wandering, let alone that they were getting farther and farther away from their hometowns.

Fortunately, Pei Xiaoer noticed this scene keenly. Pei Xiaoer decisively inspired him. The generals laughed loudly, just like seeing the scene of a big man who was tall and above lying on the ground and begging him to spare his life. He felt extremely comfortable. The gloom just now swept away, cheering up his spirit and regaining his initial aura.

In fact, as a superior, you should not only always be sober and lead your team to the right path, but also always pay attention to the morale in your team and keep the team positive and positive attitude forever. This is what a superior should do.

Qiao Chun knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly changed the topic and said, "The Sichuan Army was transferred from Zunhua to Shandong. After beating Kong Youde and then transferred to Henan, he was not tired at all? It can be said that even a donkey cannot be used like this.

What's more, these people are far away from their hometowns and work hard for a place that has nothing to do with them. After saving Nanyang, the adults in Nanyang City did not even allow these Sichuan soldiers to enter the city gate. Did these Sichuan soldiers have no resentment in their hearts?

What's more, our army is on the side, so Deng Qi can sleep outside the city? Are you not afraid that we will send someone to steal the camp?"

"According to what you said, the Sichuan Army must enter the city, and the Sichuan Army has not entered the city now, which means that Deng Yan and the group of civil servants in the city have not reached an agreement?" Pei Zhuer said.

"General Pei is smart." Qiao Chun praised him slightly.

"Bad, if I, Lao Pei, was so smart, that boy Liu Changle would not have laughed at me, Lao Pei." Pei Zhuer muttered, but she didn't care too much about it.

"Since Deng Qi and the civil servants in Nanyang City are in harmony with each other, so Deng Qi boldly speculates that Deng Qi is most likely to have two actions next. First, Bei Qi thinks that Deng Qi is very likely to leave Nanyang. As the saying goes, the world is great. If you don't stay here, you will have a place to stay. Deng Qi is not under the jurisdiction of Nanyang. He doesn't need to pay attention to the meaning of Nanyang Prefecture.

Secondly, Deng Qi may be threatened by Nanyang Prefecture, such as the Nanyang Prefecture threatening to submit a memorial to the court, or using food and grass to tempt various means to lure Deng Qi's troops into their thugs and fight for them. If so, we must be more prepared."

"Yes, General, I think Mr. Qiao is right. We really have to guard against Deng Qi as a dog for those dog officials in the city." Liu Changle said from the side.

As Liu Changle spoke, the eyes of the generals in the tent were all focused on Pei Xiaoer. How to act next depends on Pei Xiaoer's most important decision.

Pei Xiaoer sat in the middle of the big tent, his body tilted slightly, raised his head slightly and looked at a gap on the top of the tent. His right hand unconsciously tapped the armrest of the chair regularly, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

Everyone did not dare to disturb Pei Xiaoer's thoughts, so they could only wait quietly. After a while, just as Pei Zhuer became more and more anxious and was about to remind him, Pei Xiaoer finally spoke.

"Where has the King Dao Shimao gone?"

"Returning to the general, you have already passed the hundreds of mountains and are expected to arrive the day after tomorrow." Qiao Chun replied.

"Send someone to inform them that they don't have to come here, just stay in Baizhongshan to defend on the spot."

"Yes, I will go back and arrange it now."

"In addition, the rear army immediately retreated north and let them be farther away from us so that they would not be discovered by the officers and soldiers." Pei Xiaoer said again, "By the way, let them leave tonight."

The rear army included the new recruit battalion under the name of Mr. Pei and was actually managed by Lu Wenfan. However, since the last expansion of the army in Lushan County, only Jin Qianming was left with the instructors who trained new recruits, but as for the new recruits, there was no one.

In addition to the new recruits, there were also a group of auxiliary soldiers who carried food, including food, supplies, and other items, including 20,000, as well as 5,000 skilled craftsmen, 7,000 apprentices and their families. There were originally some people who followed the army, but after wars and long journeys, some people slowly left the team. When they arrived in Lushan County, the rear army was reorganized by Pei Xiaoer.

The strong adult men were organized into the army, and the rest were all organized into auxiliary soldiers. Even the women were divided into different teams, which were directly managed by Zhao Xinlan. The entire rear army had a total of 50,000 people, all of which were commanded by Liu Xianchun.

When the Pei family army was fighting against the enemy on weekdays, the rear army was usually located in a safe area ranging from five to fifty miles behind the Pei family army, providing the Pei family army with various weapons, siege equipment, etc.

"Yes." Qiao Chun responded.

After arranging the rear army and the kingly direct troops, the following are the current officers and soldiers.

"Early tomorrow morning, the army retreated north and joined the king's direct troops." Pei Xiaoer said.

"The army retreated north?" The generals were stunned. Nanyang City was about to be defeated. Even if there were 20,000 new officers and soldiers, they could not defeat the 20,000 officers and soldiers first. Our army still had a chance of winning. At this time, we retreated north. Then wouldn't the efforts of these days be in vain?

"General." Liu Changle wanted to persuade him again, but Pei Xiaoer raised his hand and stopped him, "Don't talk nonsense, go and do things!"

"As for the order." Seeing that Pei Xiaoer had made up his mind, everyone stopped talking nonsense and stood up to respond.

Early the next morning, a sleepy soldier stood on the city wall and opened the water pipes and released the water out. However, he saw that the "Thief Army" camp, which was originally crowded with figures, suddenly became quiet and there was no sign of movement.

The little sleepiness that was shocked by this discovery disappeared without a trace. A bold thought surged into his mind, "The thief has withdrawn." Then he screamed out, "The thief has withdrawn, the thief has withdrawn."

On the top of the city, all the officers and soldiers who heard the shouting put down their things, lay on the female wall, and looked out the outside of the city, but they saw that the camp outside the city was already empty, and there was no one there, so they were sure that the thieves had really withdrawn.

Soon, the soldiers guarding the city passed the news to the prefect's office, Xu Shirou's ears.

"The thief withdraws his troops? How could the thief withdraw his troops?" Xu Shirou was a little puzzled. In his opinion, although there were his own reinforcements outside the city, the thiefs outside the city still had the advantage. How could they suddenly withdraw silently? There must be something strange about it.

After pondering for a moment, Xu Shirou ordered to the old servant beside him: "Go and send someone to invite the Tongzhi Lord Ni, the Tongzhi Lord Jian, and Commander Chen to discuss matters. In addition, send someone out of the city to investigate where the thieves outside the city have retreated. Once the traces of the thieves are found, come back and report to me immediately."
