Chapter 173 Coping
Pei Xiaoer pondered for a while, and at the most important point, he decided to agree to Liu Xianchun's proposal. He didn't care about what happened after the defeat. He now wanted to relieve the lives of the people under his rule. When he mentioned Pei Xiaoer in the future, he could also give him a thumbs up and praise him. Pei Xiaoer is worthy of our followers. This is also a thing Pei Xiaoer did for his fellow villagers.
Liu Xianchun, who was recognized by Pei Xiaoer, left with a spring breeze on his face.
Not long after Liu Xianchun left, a fast horse appeared faintly from a distance, and then he came to the gate of the camp. A bad feeling arose in Pei Xiaoer's heart. Sure enough, the messenger rode a war horse and quickly came to Pei Xiaoer, got off his horse, and handed a letter to Pei Xiaoer, and said.
"General, General Liu was defeated and has retreated to Jiezhou. Please send troops to rescue as soon as possible." As soon as he finished speaking, he fainted, and the group of war horses he rode foamed at the mouth. He couldn't afford it and was exhausted.
Pei Xiaoer opened the letter and browsed it quickly. However, as the letter said in the letter, Pei Xiaoer's face gradually became cold. He scrambled the letters in his hand and held them tightly in his hand. Pei Xiaoer left the barracks without saying a word. Several officers who came from far away looked at each other, not knowing what was going on, and did not dare to ask. He had to wait until Pei Xiaoer left and inquire about the insiders.
When he arrived at the county zhong general's mansion, Pei Xiaoer walked straight to Liu Xianchun's court, took Liu Zhizu's letter of help and slapped Liu Xianchun's desk heavily and said, "Zhongfang, there is a letter here, look."
When Liu Xianchun saw Pei Xiaoer coming in angrily, she didn't understand why she was so angry when she was talking to him just now. I thought the problem was still in this letter. Liu Xianchun immediately picked up the letter of help that Pei Xiaoer placed on the table.
After reading the letter, Liu Xianchun quietly folded the letter carefully and pondered: "General. The officers and soldiers who could raid from Puzhou at this time should be Hong Chengchou from Shaanxi. I have heard of this person's reputation. At first, he was just a participant in politics. Later, the leader of the rebel army, Wang Zuogui, sent a large army to attack Hancheng, a military city.
Yang He, who was the governor of the three sides at that time, was helpless and could only send Hong Chengchou to send troops. It was also during this battle that Hong Chengchou made his mark and then became out of control. In two months, Hong Chengchou led his own miscellaneous troops to win consecutive battles. The rebels changed their faces when they heard this and fled.
This person loves to kill and surrender. Whether he is captured or surrendered voluntarily, there is no difference for him, and he will kill him. The rebel army is very afraid and calls him Hongzhe."
"Don't say that there are any or nothing." Pei Xiaoer interrupted Liu Xianchun and said, "No matter how powerful Hong Chengchou is, he, Liu Zhizu, has been a man who has fought for such a long time. Such an obvious ambush can even be fooled? It really disappoints my trust. Forget it, it will be useless to say these things at this time. Zhongfang, what do you think our army should do now?"
Liu Xianchun said: "General, the most urgent task is to send troops to rescue Liu Zhizu as soon as possible. Otherwise, with the new Jiezhou, the people in the city will not be attached to it, and Liu Zhizu led the remnants of the army to defend Jiezhou alone. If it cannot last long, it will be defeated by Hong Chengchou."
Pei Xiaoer nodded. At this moment, he had completely calmed down and sighed: "Zhongfang, what you said is exactly what I am worried about. But in Wenxi County, the 27,000 new recruits from the three newly trained towns I have never been to the battlefield, which is very useful. In this way, I can only order to mobilize Zhang Zhiyuan's troops to go south to rescue Liu Zhizu."
Liu Xianchun nodded in agreement and said, "For the current plan, there are only one thing left. However, according to what Liu Zhizu said, Hong Chengchou led a total of 50,000 officers and soldiers. Zhang Zhiyuan's troops only had only 9,000. Even if the entire army went to rescue Liu Zhizu, they would not be able to shake the officers and soldiers at all. And if one is not good, he might drag him in."
"Liu Zhiyuan is not going to Jiezhou." Pei Xiaoer paced back and forth in the public hall, without saying a word for a long time. When he had already had a complete plan in his heart, he turned to look at Liu Xianchun with his long and deep eyes and said, "Hong Chengchou came from Shaanxi, and his food and supplies must have been mobilized from Shaanxi. The food and supplies mobilized from Shaanxi must pass through Puzhou, and Puzhou is also his only way out for retreat, just like the seven inches of a snake.
At this time, if Zhang Zhiyuan could go to Puzhou, he would directly threaten Hong Chengchou's Qicha. I don't believe that this Hong thief could abandon Puzhou and attack Jiezhou without hesitation?"
