At this time, Pei Renji, who had been beaten with a cane and bruised all over his body, clenched his teeth and endured the severe pain in his lower body. He raised his head and looked at his former confidants in the field for help.
"How could General Pei, who handles official duties in the army conscientiously, turn traitor and collaborate with the enemy? There must be grievances involved. Is it possible that someone is deliberately framing him?"
When Pei Renji's close soldiers came to their senses, they felt that there might be something fishy about this matter. They and others had been with General Pei Renji for so long, but they had never heard the general say a word that meant surrender, nor had they seen him being sneaky with Han Han.
We had contact with the military.
Just based on a letter written by Yuan Shu, he made such a decisive decision that General Pei Renji would rebel and surrender to the enemy. If word of this spread out, it will probably become a topic of conversation for others after dinner!
"Then what should we do? General Pei has always treated us well. If we just sit back and do nothing, I will really feel a little sorry."
"What else do you think we can do? Should we rob the prison overnight and rescue General Pei Renji? Even if we can rescue him, so what? Who knows where to go?"
"How about... let's just use the trick and bring General Pei Renji to join Yuan Shu? Rather than letting General Pei be taken back to Wagangzhai to be executed, we might as well just go along with what those guys want."
The soldiers were all thinking about countermeasures, but they never came up with a solution. By this time, Pei Renji had already hit a hundred butt sticks and fainted!
After the sentence was over, the soldiers in charge of enforcing military law pulled Pei Renji up from the desk, dragging his buttocks to pieces like they were dragging dead dogs. The blood-soaked Pei Renji was dragged away from the prison by force.
Such a miserable appearance made Pei Renji's confidants see it in their eyes and feel pain in their hearts!
Everyone watched Pei Renji's figure being dragged and disappeared into the dark night, and they felt very uncomfortable. Every drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring. Tonight at Haishi, they set out to rob the prison and rescue Pei Renji at all costs.
"Yuan Shu needs to send someone to negotiate, otherwise we won't be able to escape the pursuit of Wang Junke, Qu Tutong and others!"
As the operation unfolded, the sergeants remained silent and retreated to the barracks one after another, preparing for the siege in Haishi.
Time flies, and at Nanton City, General Yuan Shu received a secret letter from Pei Renji’s confidants in the Wagang Army. The letter bluntly stated that at midnight tonight, Pei Renji’s men would forcibly break into the prison, rescue General Pei Renji, and bring him to seek refuge.
Yuan Shu, I hope Yuan Shu can send people to support.
"Gongda, is there any fraud in this?"
"So what if it's a deception? Pei Renji was seriously injured after being hit by a butt stick and couldn't mount his horse to fight. Even if he led the army to fake a surrender, it would have no effect on us.
As long as I send Jia Fu, Tian Yunpeng, Tie Lei Babao, Pi Shu, Pi Chen, Pi Han and other generals to rescue me in Haishi, even if the king waits for the thieves to lay a dragnet, they will not be able to do anything to me!"
Hearing what military advisor Xun You said, Yuan Shu's eyes flashed with light. He raised his arms to call the soldiers standing beside him and asked him to call the generals. He had urgent matters to arrange.
In about a quarter of an hour, all the soldiers arrived in front of Yuan Shu, formed a circle and waited for Yuan Shu to issue orders!
"Tonight at Haishi, General Jia Fu, you will take the three generals Bishu, Bihan, and Bichen, and then command two thousand elite soldiers to go to the Wagang Army to rob the camp. You must make them turn upside down. The best thing is to make a pot of porridge.
As for General Tian Yunpeng, you are responsible for taking the three generals Tie Lei Babao, Wen Tianxiang, and Xin Qiji, and commanding three thousand soldiers, to go and pick up Wagang General Pei Renji and his troops who have defected to us, and be careful to prevent them from rebelling on the battlefield."
After making arrangements to meet Pei Renji's army, Yuan Shu felt that something was missing, so he asked military advisor Xun You to make another trip to the prison to tell Pei Yuanqing about Pei Renji's cane punishment, and asked him to follow Tian Yunpeng's army to rescue Pei Renji.
.
"Pei Yuanqing is eager to save his father, so he will definitely not return to the Navarg Army. You can rest assured!"
Military Advisor Xun You didn't say much, just nodded and strode towards the prison, ready to tell Pei Yuanqing of Pei Renji's tragic situation with a smooth tongue.
A quarter of an hour passed in the blink of an eye. When military advisor Xun You returned, there stood beside him a burly man wearing a silver helmet, holding a pair of Bagua bright silver plum-blossom hammers, and leading a Ningyuan lion colt. That man was Yin You.
Hammer Taibao——Pei Yuanqing!
"Where is my father?"
Seeing that Pei Yuanqing's eyes were completely broken, Yuan Shu did not speak, but handed the letter in his hand to Pei Yuanqing to see clearly.
Pei Yuanqing took the letter and read it quickly. He saw that the handwriting on the letter was written by his father Pei Renji's favorite general. What was said in the letter was most likely true.
"Yuan Shu, I am willing to be the vanguard and lead five hundred elite troops to rescue my father when we send out troops at Haishi. Please give me your permission!"
Seeing Pei Yuanqing taking the initiative to speak, Yuan Shu glanced at Tian Yunpeng beside him and motioned for him to allocate 500 people to Pei Yuanqing.
Tian Yunpeng understood instantly, and immediately took out a black iron military talisman from his arms, handed it to Pei Yuanqing, and asked Pei Yuanqing to follow him out of the city later, and then used it to dispatch 500 soldiers as vanguards.
"Thank you, General Tian!"
When the time of Hai arrived, several military tents among the Wagang army were set on fire, the fire spread, and the shouts and shouts of killing could not be heard. Pei Renji, who was in the prison, was rescued by his subordinates. He mounted his horse and retreated towards Nanton City.
When the time came, Yuan Shu gave an order, and Jia Fu, Tian Yunpeng, Pei Yuanqing and others led the army out of the city and headed towards the Wagang Army!
"Report to the general that Pei Renji has been kidnapped."
"What! Pei Renji ran away?"
Wang Junke, who was sleeping soundly in the military tent, heard that his soldiers came to report the news of Pei Renji's escape. He woke up from his stupor in an instant. He immediately made a decision, put on his armor, and left the camp to prepare for dispatching troops to intercept Pei Renji.
On the way out of the camp, Wang Junke happened to meet Qu Tugai and Qu Tutong. They also received the news that their soldiers came to report and were preparing to intercept Pei Renji.
In addition to the two of them, Master Sheng Yan and other generals also rushed to Wang Junke's place, and everyone mobilized their troops to kill Pei Renji in the direction of retreat!
Pei Renji and his soldiers fled toward Nanton City in embarrassment. They were overtaken by Wagang's army several times on the way, resulting in heavy casualties. The army of more than 3,000 people was reduced to more than 1,000 people in the blink of an eye.
On the way to escape, one after another soldiers took the initiative to cut off the rear and give Pei Renji and others a chance to retreat. Even though they knew that their actions were undoubtedly blocking the flow of the enemy, they still had no fear at all. There are many heroes who will never return once they are gone.
Heroic spirit!
Such a tragic scene made Pei Renji, who was on horseback, mentally shattered and burst into tears. Seeing that his old subordinates who lived and ate with him in the past and killed the enemy with blood, today took the initiative to die in order to save his own life, it was so great.
Pei Renji is extremely grateful for his kindness...
"Today, I, Pei Renji, swear that I will pay tribute to the blood-blade king Junke, Qu Tutong, Qu Tugai, Sheng Yanshi and other brothers for their life-saving grace and their souls in heaven!
Even if I am unable to fulfill my wishes after my death, there will still be disciples who will take over my last wish and repay the kindness I owe today."
With the hard support of Pei Renji's soldiers, they finally waited for the support of Yuan's army. However, the first to arrive was an army of 500 people. The leader was Pei Yuanqing, who was holding the Eight Diagrams Bright Silver Plum Blossom Hammer.
Pei Yuanqing saw that his father Pei Renji was seriously injured like this, and when he saw several uncles and many soldiers standing around him, he knew that this escape was not easy.
Silver Hammer Taibao Pei Yuanqing shed tears in his eyes, his whole body exploded with murderous intent, full firepower, and his force level soared to its peak. He directly led his five hundred soldiers to charge towards the Wagang Army. He himself waved the Bagua Liang in his hand.
The Silver Plum Blossom Hammer seemed to be in an uninhabited land, and when it raised its arm, the lives of dozens of people were harvested.
In a furious state, no one dared to stop Pei Yuanqing. Even Wang Junke, Qu Tutong and other generals temporarily avoided the edge and hid in the crowd.
Just as Pei Yuanqing was wielding the silver hammer in his hand to kill the soldiers of Wagang, Tian Yunpeng led more than 1,500 people to join the battlefield. Without saying a word, he directly massacred the rebel army. The killed Sheng Yanshi and others fled and were forced to retreat.
Military camp, prepare to defend to the death.
What they didn't expect was that the military camp had been burned to ashes by Jia Fu's army at this time. The food, grass, baggage, and siege equipment in the military camp were all reduced to pitch black slag!
With their home stolen from the rear and pursuers in front, Master Sheng Yan was at a loss for a moment and could only lead an army of ten thousand men under his command to retreat in the direction where the great virtuous emperor Cheng Yaojin was in Wagangzhai.
But they don't know that on the only way, there is Yuwen Chengdu leading the guard, waiting for their arrival!
"Don't chase poor bandits"
After forcefully crushing the bandit army five miles away, Yuan Shu issued an order, signaling all his soldiers to station in Nanton City to end the battle.
As for the father and son Pei Yuanqing and Pei Renji, Yuan Shu also took them back to Nanton City! The first thing he did when entering the city was to call the doctor to heal Pei Renji...
"Thank you, General Yuan!"
"Are you still calling me General Yuan?"
Yuan Shu looked at Pei Renji who was applying medicine, smiled and joked.
"The last general, Pei Renji, pays homage to the lord!"
Pei Renji, who was as quick-witted as he was, instantly understood the meaning of Yuan Shu's words and was about to struggle to get up and kowtow to his lord.
Seeing that Pei Renji was willing to submit to him, Yuan Shu was overjoyed and repeatedly waved his hands to indicate that Pei Renji did not need to be polite!
"What does General Pei Yuanqing mean?"
Yuan Shu aimed his eyes at Pei Yuanqing again, which made Pei Yuanqing feel angry, but thinking of what he had promised, he knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and bowed his head, worshiping Yuan Shu as his lord!
"The two generals have joined Qiao's command. It's really lucky for Qiao. Today, I have solved a problem for the two generals..."
Yuan Shu smiled and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. He high-fived three times in a row, signaling for people outside the room to come in and recognize Pei Yuanqing and Pei Renji.
Squeak!
The door was pushed open. When Pei Yuanqing and Pei Renji saw the visitor, their eyes instantly shone and they were ecstatic. This was because the visitor was not someone else, but their own family members, their two daughters: Pei Cuiyun and Pei Cuicui, and their eldest son Pei Xingyan.
The second son Pei Xingjian, the third son Pei Yuanfu, the fourth son Pei Yuanshao, the fifth son Pei Yuanlong, the sixth son Pei Yuanhu, and the seventh son Pei Yuanqing beside him, the family reunited smoothly and happily. (The versions are merged, so there are seven sons)
