Chapter 118 His heart can be punished!
"General, wait a while, Xiao Huai and I are about to set off and return to Beijing."
At the entrance of Pei Jin's camp, Xiao Zheng, dressed in big red clothes, looked calm. He looked at the banner of "recruiting peace" in the Hanzhou city wall in the distance with a thousand-mile mirror, and said goodbye.
General Pei, who had always been in front of Mount Tai, had a pale face. After hearing Xiao Zheng's words, he took a deep breath and said, "Grandpa, Southwest... There is still room for improvement..."
Xiao Zheng looked at Gujing Wubo and said lightly: "This is the general's business. It's not spring yet. The general can still control the southwest army. If the general still wants to attack the southwest, then our family has no right to inquire about it."
Speaking of this, Xiao Zheng put down the Qianli Mile Mile Mile in his hand, pointed to the Hanzhou City not far away, and sighed slightly: "But our family advised the general not to show off at this time. Xiao Huai and I saw the process of siege this time. The general was definitely defeated by manpower. After we returned to the capital, we will tell Your Majesty the truth."
"At this time, the general returns to the capital to apologize. Your Majesty may be angry, but the general will not be severely punished. If the Southwest Army loses tens of thousands more people, the general will not only fail to achieve his achievements, but may not be able to save his life or life."
Pei Jin's face was ashamed.
When he was a general, Xiao Zheng was still a small eunuch in the Wei Palace. How could he not understand what Xiao Zheng could understand?
But, he was so dissatisfied!
Seeing that Hanzhou City was about to be captured, he didn't know what happened, and it appeared out of thin air and exploded among the crowd, causing his army to be defeated directly.
If it weren't for his decisive decision, the number of casualties under his command would probably have doubled!
Pei Jin felt aggrieved.
He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child and studied military books. During the Chengde Dynasty, the imperial guards in the capital were lazy and complicated. Most of them were young masters in the family of nobles in the capital. He was trusted by the Emperor Chengde and ordered to train the imperial guards. In just over ten years, he had a new look in the face of rectifying the imperial guards. Not only were the young masters in the army almost completely wiped out, but the imperial guards also had combat power chasing the border troops, even more than that!
He led his troops and was also the top figure in the Jin Dynasty, and he was not inferior to veterans like Ye Ming and Zhong Xuantong.
This is also the reason why Emperor Taikang re-activated him.
Although Pei Jin has heard more than once in the capital that Jing'an Hou is powerful in the past few years, he is very confident in himself and believes that even if the old Duke Ye Sheng was in Hanzhou City, he is confident of conquering Hanzhou, let alone Ye Sheng's apprentice.
But, the ruthless reality is in front of you!
Now, the soldiers under his command have not only suffered heavy casualties, but also have a sharp drop in morale, making it almost impossible for him to conduct the next siege.
Even if he attacked the city again, he would be massacred by the Hanzhou army again.
What's even more terrible is that their current state is that even the siege of the city may be defeated one by one by the Hanzhou army.
Rationally speaking, unless the imperial court mobilizes the imperial guards to the southwest, this operation against Hanzhou has now been declared a failure.
But Pei Jin was not convinced and gritted his teeth and refused to admit defeat.
The general walked up to Xiao Zheng and lowered his head and fisted at Xiao Zheng.
"Grandpa, will the Grandpa will report to His Majesty truthfully about the matter in Hanzhou?"
"nature."
Xiao Zheng looked solemn: "As servants of the Tian family, we will never deceive His Majesty."
Pei Jin's voice was deep.
"Where is the eldest grandfather who thinks that Marquis Jing'an is now?"
Xiao Zheng looked around and confirmed that there was no one around, and took a deep breath: "We can't figure out where Mr. Li is now, we only know that he is no longer in the northern border."
Pei Jin stretched out his finger to Hanzhou City not far away, gritting his teeth: "Marquis Jing'an is probably in this Hanzhou City at this time!"
Xiao Zheng took a deep breath.
"How can I see it?"
"We have attacked the city several times before, and these Hanzhou troops have suffered heavy casualties. They have never used the kind of things they did yesterday, but the eldest grandfather said that a few days ago, Marquis Jing'an disappeared from the northern border, and now he can come to the southwest!"
"Calculate the time, it's exactly the time he's arrived in the southwest, which means that this kind of thing is very likely made by...Mr. Jing'an!"
"As soon as he came to the southwest, these Hanzhou troops had this thing!"
"Last night, I didn't sleep all night and thought about this matter seriously..."
General Pei's eyes were covered with blood and his voice was hoarse.
"When we were waiting for the siege of the city, the Hanzhou army sent cavalry out of the city twice. After a circle, they went back. At that time, I didn't understand what they wanted to do. At this time, I realized that most of them were out of the city to pick up the Marquis of Jing'an into the city."
"Five years ago, when the imperial court was conquering the west, the Marquis of Jing'an led his troops across Motianling and went to Jiangyouguan, Fuxian and Mianzhu in a few days, and fought to the gate of Jincheng in one fell swoop!"
"I have read the military newspaper of the Western Expedition, which said that the Marquis of Jing'an used the power of the thunder of Chunyang Zhenren to blew open the Mianzhu city gate..."
Pei Jin's voice was hoarse.
"Grandpa, you also saw the situation yesterday. Do you think the things thrown from Hanzhou City are enough to explode the gate of a city?"
When Xiao Zhengze heard Pei Jin say this, he felt his scalp numb, but he was still quite calm on the surface. After taking a deep breath, he spoke: "What does the general mean?"
"Jing'an Hou had such an unknown killing weapon five years ago!"
"But he used the so-called Chunyang Zhenren to conceal this matter. He did not hand it over to the court or to His Majesty, and did not use it to expand the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty. At this time, he helped the traitors and used this thing on his own people!"
Pei Jin looked directly at Xiao Zheng and said one by one.
"The heart is punishable!"
Eunuch Xiao frowned slightly, and then said, "General, you rely on speculation and no evidence."
"Thinking is enough."
Pei Jin lowered his head and said slowly: "Your Majesty just tell your Majesty what I just said, see if your Majesty believes it or not believe this speculation."
Your Majesty will believe it.
Xiao Zheng sighed in his heart.
After following the emperor for 10 or 20 years, he knew the current emperor better than anyone else. When he was the King of Wei, he was a little suspicious. This personality became more and more enlarged after becoming the emperor.
As long as he tells Pei Jin's words to the emperor, he will completely believe it even without any evidence.
Thinking of this, Xiao Zheng bowed to Pei Jin.
"We will report to Your Majesty word to the General without missing a word."
As he said that, he and Xiao Huai got on the carriage arranged in advance. Before leaving, Xiao Zheng glanced at Pei Jin.
"Isn't the general really going back to Beijing with us?"
Pei Jin took a deep breath.
"Grandpa, even if Hanzhou is not fighting, there are still many things to do on the battlefield here, cleaning up the battlefield and counting casualties. There needs to be a general here, and I can't leave now."
Xiao Zheng nodded slightly: "The general won't attack Hanzhou?"
"No……"
Pei Jin gritted his teeth and said, "I won't beat you anymore."
"If you continue to fight, it will be a crushing defeat. I will bother your grandfather and tell His Majesty that after Pei Jin settled the Southwest military affairs, he would return to Beijing to collect the crime..."
Eunuch Xiao nodded.
"So, take care of the general, see you in the capital tomorrow."
After saying that, Xiao Zheng retracted his body back into the carriage.
When he returned to Beijing, he would definitely tell the emperor about the southwest little by little.
This not only includes what Pei Jin said...
