Abandon?

How could it be possible to give up!

Pei Jin was not originally from the Wei Palace, I don't know how much effort it took to slowly gain the trust of the Son of Taikang in the Taikang Dynasty, and re-took over the forbidden army, and now he was secretly ordered by the Son of Heaven to conquer the West, and secretly I don't know how much manpower and material resources were spent.

He's just turned 50 this year!

At this age, it should be when he first started to exert his strength in the officialdom, although he has achieved the position of a general, but Pei Jin's ambition is far more than a general of the forbidden army......

He thought...... Become a gatekeeper!

Become a general like Chen Guogong's Mansion, Jing'an Hou's Mansion, and even the Seed Family!

If you want to become a general, the position of a great general is obviously not enough, at least you need a title that can be hereditary, so this western expedition is very important for Pei Jin.

It is done, and it is probably impossible to return to Beijing to become a marquis, but as long as it is done well, the problem of the emperor giving a hereditary earl is not very big.

So no matter what, Pei Jin must get this matter right.

The general faced Xiao Zheng, gritted his teeth and said: "Grand Duke, the imperial court has spent a lot of money and grain on Hanzhou, how can there be a reason to give up halfway, now that the arrow is on the string, I have to send it, Pei must not just go back to the capital!" ”

Xiao Zheng clasped his hands in the sleeves of his wide red robe and glanced at Pei Jin deeply.

"General, that's Li Chang'an, Marquis of Jing'an."

The grand duke in charge of the inner court had a solemn voice: "The general has been in the capital all these years, and the ability of the Marquis of Jing'an, naturally we don't have to tell the general, even His Majesty has to give him some face, and after transferring him out of the capital, he began to attack the southwest, and he wants to settle the matter as soon as possible, even if the Marquis Jing'an knows about it, it will be useless." ”

"But now that the Marquis of Jing'an is missing in the city of Jizhou in the north, most of them have already known the news from the southwest, and they may be on the way to the southwest at this time, or even ......."

Xiao Zheng took a deep look at Pei Jin and continued: "Even he has already gone to the southwest. ”

"If the imperial court continues to attack Hanzhou, then this Marquis Li doesn't know what moves he will make, if he really forces this Marquis Li, General Pei feels that he is his opponent, isn't it?"

Li Xin's actions over the years have been seen by the high-ranking officials in the capital one by one, and while they are jealous of Li Houye's achievements, they also have to admit that this young Hou Ye is a person with great ability.

Nowadays, in the homes of ordinary people in the capital, if there is that kind of lazy man who is not diligent, when his parents educate him, they will talk about Li Xin, and say that your old man Li Hou Ye was named Hou Yunyun when he was a teenager......

Pei Jin has been in the capital all these years, and he naturally knows Li Xin very well.

Hearing Xiao Zheng say this, Pei Jin's face was serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Grand Duke, I naturally admire the ability of the Marquis of Jing'an, but the ability is the ability, and the strength is the strength, now that Hanzhou is surrounded by our legions, our army is more than twice as large as the Hanzhou army in terms of strength, not to mention that the Marquis Li is not necessarily in the southwest, even if he is in the southwest, unless he can invite the heavenly soldiers and generals, there is nothing to fear!" ”

Xiao Zheng sighed.

"I know that General Pei is not convinced, but this is what Your Majesty meant, and Your Majesty is ready to stop."

said that the general said in a deep voice: "The Grand Duke just said that as long as Hanzhou is defeated in Kaichun, there will be no problem on His Majesty's side, Pei Jin can now make a military order, and Hanzhou must be taken before Kaichun!" ”

The general said coldly: "If Jing'an Hou is also in the southwest at this time, then Pei will arrest him back to the capital and join him for the crime of leaving his post without permission!" ”

Until this time, the emperor did not think about turning his face with Li Xin, and Pei Jin was naturally able to perceive the meaning, so he only said that Li Xin "left his post without permission", and did not say that he collaborated with the enemy and rebelled.

He knew very well in his heart that no matter how much fault a person was, as long as the emperor was willing to protect him, then he was not guilty.

The eunuch Xiao's face was calm.

"General, don't be rash."

Pei Jin patted his chest.

"Father-in-law Xiao rest assured, the disparity in strength is here, and the siege is nothing more than two results, the first is naturally to break through the city and wipe out the anti-thieves in Hanzhou, and the second result is that there is no way to take Hanzhou City before the beginning of spring, but even if we can't take it, we just can't win, but it is impossible to lose."

General Pei looked determined.

"Even if you can't gnaw Hanzhou before the beginning of spring, the Hanzhou army should be damaged, and if you don't die, you will be crippled, and then Pei Jin and the Grand Duke will return to Beijing to receive the crime."

Xiao is a little eunuch from the Wei Palace, although he has become a big eunuch in the palace in the past eight years, he is good at human feelings and sophisticated, and he can be said to know nothing about fighting, he coughed when he heard this, and said to Pei Jin: "Can the general really take Hanzhou before the beginning of spring?" ”

Pei Jin half-knelt in front of Xiao Zheng and said in a low voice: "A certain is willing to make a military order!" ”

Xiao Zheng hesitated slightly, then nodded.

"Then the general will let it go."

"Our family and Xiao Huai are waiting here for the good news of the general, and when the time comes, we will return to Beijing in triumph with the general."

Pei Jin stood up from the ground and looked at Xiao Zheng deeply.

"Thank you, Grand Duke, for making it happen."

With that, he got up and walked straight out.

And Xiao Zheng and Xiao Huai both looked at Pei Jin's back.

"Godfather, do you say that this General Pei can win or not?"

Xiao Huai bent over and pinched his shoulders behind Xiao Zheng.

Xiao Zheng picked up the tea on the table, lowered his head and took a sip, and then put down the teacup with a frown because he disliked the tea.

"We don't understand, but looking at his confident face, I think it's quite like that."

Speaking of this, Xiao Zheng took a deep breath and remembered the young man who often drank tea and wine in King Wei's mansion back then.

"But, that Marquis Li, it's really powerful......"

………………

Pei Jin, who was separated from Xiao Zheng, immediately gathered all the middle and high-level generals of the whole army together in another camp, and this general who had led the forbidden army for one or two decades in the forbidden army had a heavy face.

"Listen up."

He shouted in a low voice: "From today on, cut down nearby timber, make catapults, ladders and other siege equipment, and select suitable stones from the nearby mountains and send them to the city of Hanzhou one after another!" ”

Pei Jin glanced around at these temporary subordinates, and his voice was cold.

"Seven days later, the storming of Hanzhou City began!"

As soon as these words came out, these generals all changed their faces.

The so-called assault means that regardless of casualties, regardless of life and death, the general will order, as long as there is no Ming Jin, he will charge towards the city wall one after another.

If it sounds good, it is called a strong attack, and if it is not good, it is to fill it with human lives.

These lives are not to exchange for the lives of the Hanzhou army, but to exchange for the materials for the Hanzhou army's defense of the city, such as arrows, hot oil, rolling stones, and gold juice.

Hanzhou City is so big, it is impossible to have too many materials to defend the city, as long as these materials are consumed, the city will naturally not be able to defend it.

This is the most primitive, simple, and brutal siege method.

But there is no way, at this time, Pei Jin has no other way.

These generals all stood up with solemn faces and saluted Pei Jin with fists.

"The Last Will Wait ......"

"Yes!"
