"General, wait a while, Xiao Huai and I will leave for Beijing."

At the gate of Pei Jin's camp, Xiao Zheng, dressed in red, had a calm face, and said goodbye while looking at the banner of "Zhao'an" on the Hanzhou city wall in the distance with a clairvoyant mirror.

General Pei, who has always been the face of Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, his face was pale at this time, and after listening to Xiao Zheng's words, he took a deep breath and said, "Grand Duke, southwest...... There's room for manoeuvre......"

Xiao Zheng's face was pale, and he said lightly: "This is the general's business, there is no spring yet, the general can still control the southwest armies, if the general still wants to attack the southwest, then our family has no right to ask." ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Zheng put down the clairvoyant mirror in his hand, pointed to Hanzhou City not far away, and sighed slightly: "But our family advises the general, don't be reckless at this time, this time the process of attacking the city, Xiao Huai and I both see it, the general is not defeated by manpower, I will tell Your Majesty truthfully after returning to Beijing." ”

"At this time, the general returns to Beijing to ask for guilt, Your Majesty may be angry, but the general will not be severely punished, if the southwest army does not have tens of thousands of people, the general will not only fail to achieve his deeds, I am afraid that his life will be difficult to preserve."

Pei Jin's face was like ashes.

When he was a general, Xiao Zheng was still a little eunuch in the Wei Palace, how could he not understand what Xiao Zheng could understand.

However, he ...... in his heart I'm so unconvinced!

Seeing that Hanzhou City was about to be captured, he didn't know what was going on, so he appeared out of thin air and exploded in the crowd, so that the army under his command was directly defeated.

If it weren't for his decisive decision, the number of casualties under his command at this time would be estimated to double again!

Pei Jin felt aggrieved.

He learned martial arts since he was a child, studied hard in the book of soldiers, when the Chengde Dynasty, the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army was lazy and redundant, and most of them were the young master soldiers in the noble family of the capital, he had the trust of the Chengde Son of Heaven, and was ordered to train the forbidden army, only ten years, the forbidden army was rectified with a new look, not only the young master soldiers in the army were almost exhausted, but also the combat power of the forbidden army chased the border army, and even surpassed it!

He leads the troops, and he is also the top figure in the Great Jin Dynasty, not losing to veterans like Ye Ming and Chong Xuantong.

This is also the reason why Taikang Tianzi reactivated him.

Although Pei Jin has heard about the power of Jing'an Hou more than once in the capital over the years, he is very confident in himself, and thinks that even if Ye Sheng, the old prince of the country, is in Hanzhou City, he is sure to defeat Hanzhou, not to mention Ye Sheng's apprentice.

However, the unforgiving reality lies ahead!

Now, his men are not only suffering heavy casualties, but their morale has plummeted, and it is almost impossible to carry out the next siege.

Even if the city is attacked again, it will be slaughtered by the Hanzhou army again.

What's even worse is that their state at this time, not to mention the siege, even the siege may be broken by the Hanzhou army one by one.

Rationally speaking, unless the imperial court mobilizes the forbidden army to the southwest, this operation against Hanzhou has now been declared a failure.

It's just that Pei Jin was not convinced, and he gritted his teeth and didn't admit defeat.

The general walked up to Xiao Zheng and bowed his head and clenched his fists at Xiao Zheng.

"Grand Duke, the matter of Hanzhou, will the Grand Duke's Guild truthfully report to Your Majesty?"

"Nature."

Xiao Zheng's face was solemn: "As servants of the Heavenly Family, it is impossible for us to deceive Your Majesty. ”

Pei Jin's voice was low.

"Then the Grand Duke thinks, where is the Marquis of Jing'an now?"

Xiao Zheng looked left and right, and after making sure that there was no one around, he took a deep breath: "Where is Marquis Li, we still can't figure it out yet, we only know that he is not in Northern Xinjiang now." ”

Pei Jin stretched out his hand and pointed to Hanzhou City not far away, and gritted his teeth: "At this time, Jing'an Hou is probably in this Hanzhou City!" ”

Xiao Zheng took a deep breath.

"How so?"

"We have attacked the city several times before, and these Hanzhou troops have suffered heavy casualties, and they have not used the same ...... as yesterday things, but the grand duke said that a few days ago, the Marquis of Jing'an disappeared from the northern Xinjiang, how could he come to the southwest at this time! ”

"Calculate the time, this is exactly the time when he arrived in the southwest, that is, this kind of thing is very likely to be...... Jing Anhou made it! ”

"As soon as he came to the southwest, these Hanzhou troops had this thing!"

"Last night, I didn't sleep all night, and I thought about it seriously......"

General Pei's eyes were bloodshot and his voice was hoarse.

"When I was waiting for the siege before, the Hanzhou army sent cavalry out of the city twice, and then went back after a circle, I didn't understand what they wanted to do at that time, and I reacted at this time, at that time most of them went out of the city to pick up Jing'an Hou into the city."

"Five years ago, when the imperial court conquered the west, the Marquis of Jing'an led his troops to cross the Motianling, and in a few days, he connected the Jiangyou Pass, Fuxian, and Mianzhu, and hit the Jincheng gateway in one fell swoop!"

"I once read the military newspaper of Zhengxi, which said that the Marquis of Jing'an blew open the gate of Mianzhu City with the help of the power of the heavenly thunder of the pure yang real person......"

Pei Jin's voice was hoarse.

"Grand Duke, you also saw the situation yesterday, do you think those things thrown down from Hanzhou City are enough to blow up the gates of a city?"

Hearing Pei Jin say this, Xiao Zhengze felt that his scalp was numb, but he was still quite calm on the surface, and after taking a deep breath, he said, "What does the general mean?" ”

"As early as five years ago, Jing'an Hou had this unknown killing weapon!"

"But he used the so-called pure yang real person to conceal this matter, first, he did not hand it over to the imperial court, handed it over to His Majesty, and second, he did not use it to open up the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty, but at this time, he helped the rebels and used this thing on his own people!"

Pei Jin looked directly at Xiao Zheng and said sentence by sentence.

"His heart can be punished!"

The eunuch frowned slightly, and then spoke: "General, you are all based on speculation and have no evidence. ”

"Speculation is enough."

Pei Jin lowered his head and said slowly: "As long as the Grand Duke tells His Majesty what I just said, it depends on whether His Majesty believes or does not believe this conjecture." ”

Your Majesty will naturally believe it.

Xiao Zheng sighed secretly in his heart.

He has followed the Son of Heaven for one or two decades, and knows the current Son of Heaven better than anyone else, and he was a little suspicious when he was the king of Wei, and this character became more and more developed after becoming the emperor.

As long as Pei Jin's words are told to the emperor, then even if there is no evidence at all, he will completely believe it.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zheng arched his hand at Pei Jin.

"Our family will pass on the general's words to Your Majesty word for word."

Saying that, he and Xiao Huai both got into the carriage that had been arranged in advance, and before parting, Xiao Zheng glanced at Pei Jin.

"Isn't the general really going back to Beijing with us?"

Pei Jin took a deep breath.

"Grand Duke, even if Hanzhou doesn't fight, there are still many things to do on the battlefield here, clean up the battlefield and count casualties. I need a general here, I can't leave right now. ”

Xiao Zheng nodded slightly: "The general won't fight Hanzhou anymore?" ”

"No ......"

Pei Jin gritted his teeth fiercely: "Don't fight." ”

"If the fight continues, it will still be a fiasco, and the Grand Duke will tell His Majesty that after Pei Jin settles down the military affairs in the southwest, he will return to Beijing to receive the guilt......"

Eunuch Xiao nodded.

"In this way, the general take care and see you in the capital in Japan."

After speaking, Xiao Zheng retracted his body back into the carriage.

When he returns to Beijing, he will definitely tell the Son of Heaven little by little about the affairs of the southwest.

It includes not only what Pei Jin said......

There are also two "Zhao'an" banners on Hanzhou City!
