Chapter 182 Face
"Qin Shang was ordered to set up an ambush. He waited for the enemy soldiers for a long time, but only a small number of troops came. When the sentry returned to investigate, they found that Di Bing was marching at night, quietly heading southwest through Mount Pingjing."

"How many soldiers and horses are there in total?" Pei Yong asked.

"There are only five hundred people going to He Dao at most." The assistant general had an uneasy expression on his face, "There are more than a thousand pioneers in Hirai Mountain, all of them are elite soldiers."

Another assistant general added: "Qin Shang was afraid of disturbing the incoming soldiers, so he didn't dare to act rashly. He originally wanted to set up camp on the spot to wait for the Di soldiers in the rear, but after the lieutenant general He Yun and the governor Chen Ping learned of the enemy's route, Everyone thought that Di Bing's actions were a feint attack, attacking the capital on the surface, but actually meant Caizhou, because they were afraid that Caizhou would lose, and finally threaten the safety of the emperor, they insisted on pulling out their camp to pursue..."

He said in a deep voice, "Qin Shang naturally refused—Xiang Hedao had 2000 troops, and it was at odds with the 3000 people in Ling County. Later, Dengzhou soldiers and horses came to help after hearing the news, so they could stop Di Bing. , Most of the Di soldiers will come back later, only one force in Ling County can't stop them at all, maybe they will be betrayed by the Di thieves."

"The two sides disagree. Qin Shang kept in mind Jiedu's instructions, and he didn't want to make trouble with the court's generals or envoys. However, those two pressed on every step of the way, and brought the emperor out again, lest..."

Pei Yong said: "You only talk about the situation of the war."

That general wanted to complain a few more words and say something good for the old robe, but now he heard Pei Yong's answer and looked at his expression, he was really shocked.

His spine seemed to twitch, and he hurriedly said: "He Yun said that Qin Shang can't move, so he first made a fuss to lead a thousand soldiers to Pingjing Mountain through the west, and then saw that Qin Shang still refused to let the soldiers, and wanted to dismantle himself. The imperial guards of the headquarters left the camp, and the soldiers and horses in the camp started to quarrel endlessly, not knowing whether they had got his order or not."

"He Yun pulled up the big banner of the Son of Heaven as an excuse. Qin Shang is tied up, and he can't advance or retreat. He is also afraid of changes in the camp, so he sent a messenger to report the news. Please show me."

Pei Yong's complexion remained unchanged, he turned around and took a pen and ink on the table beside him, and wrote a reply on the original booklet. After finishing writing, he pressed the pen, put away the booklet, and handed it to one of them, saying: "The people will Send this booklet back to him, and you order another five hundred Junzhou soldiers and horses, and set off for Zhao County early tomorrow morning, and choose a place to set up camp."

The general didn't dare to say more than one sentence, he took his orders first, and then asked about the mission.

Pei Yongdao: "Qin Shang has [-] soldiers in the Communist Party, of which only [-]% are the imperial guards in the capital, and He Yun is only a deputy general. It is really rare that he can't suppress him, and even sends a letter back to Beijing. Let's see how he responds. If the situation is not right, and Zhao County is only tens of miles away from him, you will take over the soldiers stationed in Xianghe Dao with a warrant, and ask Qin Shang to take the five hundred Junzhou soldiers and horses to Ling County, and get another dispatch."

Just then the assistant general panicked for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Jiedu, there are only three thousand soldiers and horses, Qin Shang can't suppress it, but he is hindered by the court's face, and it is not easy to suppress him for a while, besides, He Yun and Chen Ping are talkative. Yes, it will only add to the chaos, the thief is already in front of you now, and you dare to mobilize your soldiers, what is the difference between the mouse feces in the same pot of hot porridge, it is better..."

Before he finished speaking, he raised his head to meet Pei Yong, and immediately shut up.

Pei Yong said indifferently: "Without He Yun and Chen Ping, there are Qian Yun Zhang Yun, Zhou Ping and Wang Ping, even one or two lieutenants and warlords can't surrender, even small things have to be brought up to me for comment and support, he is the one who decides." General's ability?"

He said again: "I asked him to go to Xiang Hedao to give him a chance to make meritorious service. If he doesn't want it, you can take it."

He looked at the person in front of him and asked, "What do you think?"

The general hurriedly got down on his knees, and said: "Jiedu is willing to give such a chance to make meritorious service, the lower officials will certainly wish for it, but that Qin Shangduan didn't mean to pick and choose, and he didn't mean to threaten, but just to complain for Jiedu..."

He gritted his teeth, and said again: "In fact, Qin Shang is not alone, many colleagues in the army are complaining about Jiedu..."

Pei Yongdao: "Peace or injustice, I have my own calculations in my heart. If I have something to say, I don't come to explain it to me face to face, but I am obedient and contrary, and I do it myself-do you want to act on my behalf?"

This time, the other generals beside him all hurriedly knelt down.

Pei Yong frowned and said, "Who will watch this kind of action?"

The two had no choice but to stand up again.

"What did you say when you voted for Jingzhao Mansion that day?" Pei Yong suddenly asked.

The two were stunned for a moment and looked at each other, unable to confirm for a long time.

"If there is a chance, even if you give up your life, you will drive out the thieves, so that your relatives and friends can return to their hometowns, re-plow the old fields, and live in the old houses. Is it what you said before--and now it's only a few years later, then Have you forgotten all of them?"

"There is an opportunity in front of you right now, the country's enemies and family hate each other, but you can bear it, just to fight with Caizhou's envoy, and to protect me?"

"Naturally, the people of Xuzhou are not relatives and friends. As for the capital, Dongping, Yidu, and Dengzhou, they have no kinship with you and me, so we can ignore them?"

Those two people couldn't refute, they were really anxious and ashamed, one of them even had red eyes, and could only shake his head repeatedly, calling out "Jiedu" one after another.

However, Pei Yong sighed slightly, and said: "Could it be that putting on armor and holding a sharp edge, and going to battle to kill the enemy, is it for me?"

"It's just guarding the frontier and the land."

"Qin Shang used to go up the mountain to cut trails because he had nowhere to go. His family burned the farmhouse for the Di thief and took away the rations. They gave up their lives so that their wives, daughters and parents could make ends meet. They didn't starve to death."

"At present, the war in the north will drag on for one more day, and countless people will lead him to suffer that day. Does he have the heart to watch it?"

"Soldiers only listen to orders, so naturally they don't think too much, but you have already been dispatched at this time, can't you tell right from wrong, and weigh the serious?"

"It's just...could the court be able to distinguish right from wrong and weigh the weight?" One of them endured for a long time, and finally asked boldly, "If it wasn't for the one in Xiazhou, where would I be where I am today? After being in the first day of junior high school, I have changed to Xiaozhao’s family now. I have not weaned my milk yet, and I have learned to beware of us like thieves. If Jiedu hadn’t led our Western Army over, how could Caizhou have a stable life?”

"But they don't think about the benefits at all. Sending a warlord today and inserting a lieutenant general tomorrow, they are all just messing around. The two armies are fighting against each other. How can they fight well with such a guy in the battalion?"

"If you say you can't tell right from wrong, but weigh the light and the heavy, you should be talking about them!"

"The situation is already like this, is it true that Jiedu is holding back and treating them like a persimmon?! It's better to let go and take advantage of the situation. If you miss this great opportunity today, it will be hard to come back in the future..."

Pei Yong interrupted: "If I want to take it, don't I just wait for someone else's opportunity?"

The general opened his mouth to speak, but froze for a moment.

Pei Yong said again: "If someone does the first day of junior high school, let him do it himself. Our Western Army will not learn to do the first day of junior high school, let alone the fifteenth day. If there is no first day of junior high school, can't I reach out and do fifteen by myself?"

When he said this, his voice became harder: "There is a day to take it, and it is not today - Di Bing is still in front of us."

He also said: "Besides, if you fight for one more day, you will die a lot more people. As expected, when you get it, Qin Shang can do his own thing in order to make me fifteen, and shirk and procrastinate. You come to play drums again and again. In the future How about swapping identities compared to He Yun, Zhang Ping and others?"

"You two ask yourself, is it all just for my face?"

"I want to compete, so why do I need other people to use some shady tricks?"
