In fact, not only Xiao Yuandong was surprised by Pu An's humble attitude, but even Pu An himself was shy and difficult to be.

Although at the end of last year, he was afraid of the general trend of the Jin army and chose to retreat to Fufeng, and was far away from each other, in order to take advantage of the chaos to strengthen himself, Pu Hong did not expect that Tianzhong Xingtai was really not enthusiastic about his subordination, and even so stingy that he was unwilling to give it even a vacant position. When Pu'an returned, the whole clan was embarrassed and almost cut off the idea of joining the Jin.

Since you can't vote for promotion, you naturally have to choose another side or rely on or cooperate. So the Pu family actively contacted Du Hong, who occupied Chang'an, although the two sides had mutual enmity, and even the Pu family was driven out of Jingzhao by these Haoyou, but after misjudging the attitude of Tianzhong Xingtai, the Pu family did not have more choices.

Although Huaili was captured at the cost of consuming the lives of the remnants of the Guo family, the Pu family also collected more people to support the wind, and the army grew slightly for a while, but the biggest shortcoming is still that there is no stable base area, and once it encounters a setback, its party members are likely to fall apart.

Du Hong was also worried about the Jin army that was about to attack at any time, and naturally there was no reason to refuse the help of the Pu family, but the request put forward made Pu Hong a little unacceptable, and he actually ordered the Pu family to return to the original station.

Pu Hong was naturally not satisfied with this, he chose to escape into Fufeng, just to avoid the possibility of confronting the Jin army head-on, and with the withdrawal of his troops, the original place of Juxian and other places had already been occupied by Jing Zhaohao. If he retreats at this moment, he will most likely be squeezed into the front-line combat area and become cannon fodder.

Tianzhong Xingtai is arrogant, Jing Zhaohao is treacherous and cunning, this is not the biggest crisis in front of the Pu family, the greater danger is that the Qianghu Yao clan, who occupied the Longshang Passage earlier, began to retreat to Guanzhong under the attack of the Zhang clan in Liangzhou.

The Yao family has lived in Luoyang for more than ten years, although they were defeated and retreated, but they did not take the opportunity to take a piece of the pie in Guanzhong, and there were 50,000 people such as Di and Qiang. Even if it is a slight exaggeration, it is by no means capable of the current Pu family.

Although the Pu family was from Luoyang, they didn't feel that the villagers in the Yao clan still had any local friendship with them. Originally, he retreated to Fufeng to avoid the battlefield of head-on conflict with the Jin army, but he didn't expect to face the situation of wolves again.

After learning the news, Pu Hong almost wanted to cry without tears, he was in the fashion and his foothold was not stable, and he did not dare to resist the miscellaneous people who swept in like locusts. After Jingzhaoren inquired, they also reversed their previous posture of co-opting, and turned to the Yao clan, which was more powerful.

Originally thought he was a clever way to get out, but it turned out to be in a greater danger, and in the face of this situation, Pu Hong had to take refuge in the Jin army as a place of life.

"There are few raccoon dogs, and now the power is even more prosperous, it is inevitable to underestimate the world, and the Chinese giants dare to abuse and kill, and my department will not be looked at by it. Earlier, I thought that with the thousands of combat strength of my department, I would have to take a little care, but I still underestimated his arrogance. ”

Pu Hong first reviewed the mistakes he had taken for granted, and then said: "He is the strongest in the world with tens of thousands of elite soldiers in his headquarters, and he has used his own dedication to anger his people's pride." If you vote again this time, you might as well show weakness and beg for help, and you don't need to boast anymore......"

The previous unsuccessful defection made Pu Hong realize the arrogance of people these days, and he didn't bother to ask for help at all. That's why he decided to try again this time, in short, even if I am not worthy of being the help of the king, the tiger and the wolf, I also hope to be able to do the work of dogs and horses. At the moment, face is not important, the important thing is to be able to find a way to live.

And this time, in Pu Hong's opinion, the chance of success is not small, because it is not a direct knock on the platform, but a request to see the commander of the Wang Division. Compared with the arrogance of Tianzhong Xingtai, these front-line generals will definitely be able to appreciate the benefits of accepting Pu's more. For example, the counties and counties of the Pu family and the books of the people can be used as a record of achievements.

Prior to this, Pu Hong gathered more strength to attack Xianyang, although he was weak in face, but he proved his value with practical actions. On the one hand, he warned those Jing Zhaohao that he still should not be insulted, and on the other hand, there was no lack of a little persecution, if Xiao Yuandong was still arrogant and did not face him squarely, it was not impossible for him to form a pseudo-Han in the north, and the north and south would attack and strangle the forward of the Sanfu Jin army along the way.

Pu An still followed his brother's advice and had a humble attitude in front of Xiao Yuandong: "Although the people of Bian Hu are overwhelmed, they only admire Wang Dao as hungry and thirsty. In the midst of the general's heroic journey, he deterred the three Qin fathers and elders, and did not dare to hope to be exalted, just hoping to get a little false protection and make a little more momentum for the prince and prince......"

Although Xiao Yuandong was quite satisfied with this Pu'an's obedient and sought after gesture, he did not get carried away because of this pleasure, even if he did not have the advice of the general before leaving, he was also vigilant about the cunning of Di Hu, and he was not in a hurry to express his position.

Seeing that the conversation had not progressed for a long time, Pu An said again: "When I entered the camp and walked today, I saw all the grandeur, and I felt that it was natural for Wang Shi to win frequently and frequently. The thieves in the western realm of Jingzhao are surging, and the momentum is like boiling soup, although the troops are still fighting, they don't know how long they can support it. The prince or the prince may be restrained with his life, and he should not easily go south to destroy the thief. But please remember the deeds of Bian Hu Xiangyi for a while, call the children of my tribe into the army, and protect the seeds of Bian Hu Zhongyi a little......"

When Xiao Yuandong heard this, his face couldn't help but show a strange expression. Before he could respond here, Pu An had already begun to count the number of people who wanted to enter the question, and there were actually twenty or thirty people in total, which could be said to include all the junior children of the Pu family.

At this time, Xiao Yuandong felt that this Pu family seemed to be relying on himself, which forced him to accept Toucheng. The other party showed such great sincerity and almost pushed out all the bloodline heirs, if he didn't respond here, it could no longer be said to be cautious, but cowardly.

The heirs of the family are entrusted to each other, but Wang Shi should not allow it, once it is spread, it will be very unfavorable to the subsequent attack and operation of Guanzhong. Even Xiao Yuandong himself has hidden suspicions, could it be that the situation of this Dihu tribe is really so critical, and there will be a danger of extinction of the clan, so he has spent so much money?

"Pu Jun is so frank and sincere, but I am deeply grateful. The revival of the royal industry, the four sides are in urgent need of loyalty and courage and help the great cause, if Bian Hu can recognize this, he is still better than the bad horse of the family. I was ordered to patrol and clear the northern part of the Guan, and the western border of Jingzhao was not in the ministry, but if I asked for it so earnestly, if I didn't care about it, it was inevitable that the Bian Shi's teeth would be cold. Later, I will study this in detail and present it to the Celestial Commander for the General to read. ”

When Xiao Yuandong said this, he rubbed his hands and smiled: "It's so affectionate, it really makes people cry and cry, I might as well be vain to the general's mind, I will not miss this invitation and snub the righteous man." ”

Seeing that Xiao Yuandong finally gave a fairly clear reply, Pu An couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but this was far from enough, the thieves from the west were surging, and they needed more help from their elbows and armpits, rather than the illusory reward and award.

"I am also really grateful to be comforted by the prince's words. But the hatred of Tu Ge and the Karma Nu tribe caused trouble, so that all my border Hu were alienated by suspicion for the king's order. What's even more ridiculous is that the thief Liu Changming actually sent an envoy to say that my brother had invited our troops to go north to fight against Wang Shi......"

Xiao Yuandong sneered when he heard this, and he also heard the implicit threat in it, and said in a deep voice: "The realm of the dog thief is about to die, I'm afraid it's boring, and it's really disgusting to invite people to die and be buried with him." ”

Having said that, he is actually weighing it in his heart, to be honest, in his current state, Di Hu really has no shortage of qualifications to threaten him. At present, he is alone, taking advantage of the gap between the forces of all parties, once the northern and southern strongmen reach a conspiracy, he will not dare to wander here so calmly, or he will have to shrink the military momentum slightly.

Xia Tai Wang Meng has gradually improved, and Xiao Yuandong has no need to abandon the achievements made during this period for the sake of being reckless for a while. After a moment of silence, he said: "Where Niyang is, there is still no shortage of thieves entrenched, and now our department is stationed here to wait for the successor of the king, and we can't go far for the time being." If your ministry can achieve this achievement, I will show the deeds to the general. ”

"But the ...... on which my people depend"

Pu An was still a little dissatisfied after hearing this, and spoke again. However, halfway through the words, he saw Xiao Yuandong raise his hand to sweep those pictures off the desk, and then looked at him with burning eyes.

Seeing this scene, Pu An's face flushed with shame, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, and after a long time, he said astringently: "Xiaomin is also honored to be able to help the prince fight. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yuandong's face softened slightly, raised his hand to write the warrant, and said in his mouth: "I am now outside, and I will first order the army, how to really confer it, it still needs to be approved by Taiwan." After the order is granted, the command will come north as soon as possible, and the military period of the Wang Division will be strict and cannot be overdue. In addition, as I said before, I promised to send it to the army as soon as possible, and then I will also go east with the order. ”

Although both sides have their own grievances, the matter of Hu Guishun is finalized. As for the county books presented by Pu Anjin, it was a joke in Xiao Yuandong's opinion. There are all the thieves on the sidelines, what qualifications do you have to steal the king's land and falsely offer it!

Although in the short term, he was a little afraid of colluding with the puppet Han in the north of Dihu, but now it is the middle of April, and the main force of the Wang Division is about to advance westward, and once there is follow-up reinforcement, his Hongwu army will be completely liberated. At that time, if there is really a sign of Yin and Pseudo-Han, he can directly send troops to kill him near the shore without worrying about the future.

At present, it is not without benefit to accept Hu from the north, which can allow his troops to share a little of the pressure of the Hu army in Yiqu and other aspects. Xiao Yuandong planned to take advantage of the period before Wang Shi's westward advance to draw military forces to attack Pucheng from here, and completely cut off the connection between the puppet Han Beidi and Feng Yi.

Of course, the premise of this battle is that Di Hu really sends those hostages.

So in the next period of time, Xiao Yuandong continued to migrate prisoners of war to Xiaqi while waiting for news from Di Hu. However, there was no news from Dihu, but Hongnong first came with the latest military order: he was instructed to temporarily stay here to continue to block the puppet Han in the north, and the Houlu Wang Division would have 3,000 Hedong troops enter the country to help, and he should not move lightly before the end of the war in Chang'an.

After receiving this military order, Xiao Yuandong was immediately disappointed, which meant that Wang Shi's next tactics had been finalized, first to take Chang'an, and then kill the pseudo-Han. Originally, the forward troops of the Hongwu Army also became a reserve army to watch the plundering formation.

This change is slightly different from the previous conquest plan, and the reason is that Du Hongzuo of Chang'an died.
