Although they hated Xiao Huaijing deeply, they were assigned to the army by the emperor. They did not dare to touch Xiao Huaijing's hair. Even the most reckless Luo Shixin could only spit on Xiao Huaijing's back. And like this The only result was that Xiao Huaijing would intensify his criticism.
Pei Renji frowned. Zhao Renji was right. Xiao Huaijing was indeed a problem. If he wanted to send troops to Luokoucang, it was impossible to hide it from Xiao Huaijing. If Xiao Huaijing knew about it, it would be inevitable to report it. , and after this matter was informed to the emperor, the emperor would definitely be furious. This is no joke.
Luo Shixin's eyes widened immediately after hearing this, but he didn't dare to open his mouth, for fear of irritating Pei Renji, so he could only hum, but Pei Renji ignored him and turned his head again, looking towards He met Jia Runfu and asked, "Runfu, what do you think about this issue?"
By now, Jia Runfu naturally knew Pei Renji's thoughts and must send troops to Luokou Cang. The only problem was how to hide this from Xiao Huaijing. Jia Runfu naturally didn't like Xiao Huaijing. Half a month ago, Jia Runfu rejected Xiao Huaijing's offer. To recruit, Xiao Huaijing found an excuse, and was almost pulled down and beheaded. Jia Runfu frowned, thought for a moment, but raised his head and said: "General, why don't you give Xiao Huaijing..." With that, Jia Runfu did He made a chopping gesture, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious.
"Hiss,,," after hearing what Jia Runfu said, everyone present couldn't help but gasped. Such a bold plan to kill Xiao Huaijing actually came out of Jia Runfu's mouth. Luo Shixin jumped up with excitement, although he couldn't speak. Although he was talking, he still danced and kept pointing at Jia Runfu with his hands to express his agreement with Jia Runfu's opinions, which made everyone dumbfounded.
However, thanks to Luo Shixin's interruption, everyone finally came to their senses. Pei Renji frowned and said in a deep voice: "This matter cannot be done. After all, Xiao Huaijing is a supervisor sent by the Holy Emperor. If we attack him, Then our suppression of the rebels is the same as treason. This will never work. We should think of other ways."
Seeing that his suggestion was rejected, Jia Runfu didn't say anything more, and Luo Shixin sat back in his seat wiltedly. However, Zhao Renji, who was sitting next to Luo Shixin, suddenly lit up his eyes, raised his head and clasped his fist at Pei Renji. Said: "General, since this Xiao Huaijing is a person sent by the Holy Emperor, we naturally cannot touch him, but what if we invite others to deal with him?"
The eyes of Pei Renji and Jia Runfu both lit up and they looked at Zhao Renji at the same time. However, Luo Shixin, who was sitting next to Zhao Renji, raised his head and glanced with an unclear face, then lowered his head. Pei Renji immediately asked: " General Zhao, what do you mean..."
Zhao Renji continued: "What the general means is that since Liang Guogong came to ask the general for this matter, if there are any difficulties that cannot be solved, he will naturally have to rely on Liang Guogong for help. The general might as well inform Liang Guogong of the matter and let him Liang Guogong came to deal with Xiao Huaijing. Liang Guogong was a high-ranking official, so it was just right to deal with Xiao Huaijing."
"Wonderful," after hearing what Zhao Renji said, Pei Renji couldn't help but cheered, nodded repeatedly, and shouted: "This plan is very clever. Liang Guogong is not only the prince of the dynasty, but also the emperor's consort. Let him deal with Xiao Huaijing. That's really easy. Come on, please invite General Zhu to come up again and say that I have something to ask for."
Ten days later, at night, outside Luokou Cang, with the sound of intensive horse hoofbeats, an army of at least 10,000 people appeared in a forest ten miles north of Luokou Cang. The leading general looked up. He looked at the sky, then looked around, then lowered his voice and asked, "Have you checked clearly? This is indeed the right place, right?"
"General, yes, it is indeed here." Behind the general, a black-armored young general immediately stepped forward and replied, "According to the secret letter sent by Liang Guogong, we did meet here. "
"Well," the previous general also nodded after hearing this. The moonlight happened to be shining down at this moment, shining on this general. It was none other than the current commander-in-chief of the counter-rebellion army, Pei Renji. Pei Renji scanned the surrounding area again. , and then ordered: "Okay, since this is the right place, then send the order down and let the soldiers rest on the spot and wait for Liang Guogong's troops."
"That's no need," Pei Renji had just finished speaking when suddenly a burst of laughter came from the nearby woods, and a clear voice came out from it. Immediately, Pei Renji and other counter-rebellion soldiers were so shocked that they all mentioned their military skills. Blade, looking at the woods warily, and then another voice came: "The counter-rebel army is indeed well-deserved. I admire you, I admire you. However, please rest assured, General Pei. I am a subordinate of Liang Guogong, and I am here to greet General Pei." And to quell the rebels,"
As the voice came from the woods, a figure also gradually walked out of the woods. It was a burly man. However, this man did not hold any weapons in his hands. He just wore a very ordinary armor. That's it. Walking out of the woods with a smile, I heard this man say: "General Pei, don't be nervous. I am a soldier under Liang Guogong's account, Yang Gongqing. I have been specially ordered by Liang Guogong to come to relieve the general. Liang Guogong's soldiers The horse is at the other end of the woods. Please lead the general and follow him down."
Hearing the words of the strong man in front of him who called himself Yang Gongqing, Pei Renji was also a little hesitant. After all, what they did this time was unusual and everything should be done with caution. Therefore, Pei Renji did not easily agree to the other party. Seeing Pei Renji hesitate, The strong man immediately guessed what Pei Renji was thinking, smiled and said: "General Pei is really cautious in his actions, but please rest assured, General Pei, I am indeed a subordinate of Duke Liang. If General Pei still doesn't believe it, I have an order." A letter written by the young master can prove my identity." After saying that, the strong man immediately reached into his arms, took out a letter, and presented it directly.
Without waiting for Pei Renji's instructions, the soldiers immediately came forward, took the letter, checked it aside, and then handed it to Pei Renji. Pei Renji tore open the envelope and saw that it was indeed a letter written by his son Pei Xingyan. After reading the letter After that, Pei Renji also believed the other party's identity, and quickly clasped his fists and said: "This matter is very important, so I have to act with caution. Please forgive me, strong man."
Yang Gongqing didn't take it seriously. He clasped his fists and returned the salute, saying: "General, in charge of the three armies, it is human nature to be cautious. How dare I blame you? Since the general has verified his identity, please come down with me." After saying that, Yang Gongqing turned around and came. He led Pei Renji and other soldiers and horses directly to the other end of the woods.
The woods were not big. Pei Renji quickly led his soldiers and horses around the woods. Looking from a distance, two to three thousand soldiers and horses were hoarding there, and there were a few figures standing there, who seemed to be What were you waiting for? When he saw Pei Renji leading his troops, two of them immediately got on their horses and came over quickly. Pei Renji took a closer look and saw that it was Qin Qiong who had been sent to Luoyang to recover from his injuries, and Pei Xingyan, Pei Renji's son.
"Dad," Pei Xingyan was extremely excited when he saw his father coming. He had not seen his father for more than a year. He rushed to Pei Renji's horse, turned over and dismounted, and knelt down directly towards Pei Renji. He kowtowed several times and shouted loudly: "My child is unfilial and failed to serve my father."
Seeing his son, Pei Renji was also very excited. He also dismounted his horse, stepped forward quickly, helped Pei Xingyan up, and said: "Silly boy, if you can be successful, it is the greatest filial piety to my father. Stop talking about this, stop talking about this, get up, get up," Pei Renji said, feeling his eyes were hot, and he patted his son's shoulder hard, with a happy smile on his face.
"Uncle Bao," another shout came from behind Pei Renji, but it was Luo Shixin who was holding a big gun. After seeing Qin Qiong, he immediately dismounted and rushed over. He and Qin Qiong, who also got off the horse, faced each other directly. Hug, then laughed loudly and shouted: "I knew, I knew, your kid won't die so easily, hahahaha, good, good, why is it as strong as before, not bad, not bad,"
Qin Qiong looked at Luo Shixin and grinned widely. Qin Qiong was seriously injured in Niuzhu's mouth before, and she didn't wake up until Luoyang. After all, she really hadn't seen Luo Shixin for more than half a year. Qin Qiong smiled and took the photo He patted Luo Shixin on the shoulder, suddenly remembered something, and quickly asked: "I heard that you were also injured, where is the injury?"
When Qin Qiong mentioned the injury, Luo Shixin couldn't help but think of that night at Dahai Temple, and a sad look appeared on his face, but soon Luo Shixin laughed again, patted his chest, and shouted: "What can happen to me?" "Look, I'm in great shape, but what can a little injury do to me?"
Seeing that Luo Shixin was indeed lively and energetic, Qin Qiong was completely relieved. He turned around and chatted with Pei Renji again. They were all veterans of the counter-rebellion army. They had fought together for so many years, so their friendship was naturally quite deep. , when it comes to talking about it, the floodgates cannot be closed. Of course, the conversation is all about the reorganization of the counter-insurgency army in the past few months.
"Haha, it's really gratifying that you all can get together." At this moment, laughter came from behind Qin Qiong again, interrupting several people's reminiscing, and saw a figure walking over, Yang Gongqing also immediately followed behind this person. Although this person was thin, his face was very handsome. Who else could it be if it wasn't Wan He?
