Chapter 3358 Big Problem of Small Choice
『What do you want to do, Pei Wenheng?!』
Not long after Pei Jicai and his men lined up inside the city gate, the Pei family members who heard the news came in the city came in a hurry, and relied on the large number of people, they loudly scolded Pei Ji.
There are many people, especially those mixed in other groups, so you can use your own name to forcefully represent the will of others.
As long as other people don't speak...
"Where are you going? Open the city gate?! You are going to kill us!"
"How could the Pei family have children like you? In the face of a disaster, we are not thinking about working together, but about leaving separately?!"
"Pei was born in Wenxi and grew up in Anyi. Pei Wenheng, you are going to split up when you leave?!"
"This is disloyalty and unfilial!"
"Pei Wenheng, you are so bold! The head of the family is not cold. You don't want to be filial to the ranks, but you want to split the Pei family!"
"What if the thief army takes advantage of the opportunity to enter the door? How can Pei's roots make this ignorant child ruin?"
"The ancestors are above! I will rely on my seniority and ask you on behalf of my ancestors, Pei Wenheng, do you want to abandon your clan and ignore it?"
"The way of heaven is clear, how can such people without a king or a father be allowed to be rampant?"
『…』
There were chaos in the city.
"boom!"
『Boom boom!』
There was a roar outside the city.
Many of the Pei family's children, young and old, still had pink on their faces and red lips.
That's right, cosmetics were originally used by men, but later they were also used by women.
Pei Ji hadn't thought anything wrong with these gentry children applying makeup before, after all, it's so popular in Shandong...
The Hedong area had been influencing the Central Plains for a while, for example, the corner of Lin Zongjie was imitated by the children of the gentry in the world. However, I don’t know when it started, but the children of the Hedong gentry began to imitate the orchid fingers, white faces, and willow waists in Shandong.
And Lin Zongliang, who was not afraid of the wind and rain, was thrown into the garbage dump.
Pei Ji looked at it, listening to the screams and scolding of these guys, without saying a word, but just raised his head and stood in the street, blocking the silently prepared subordinates and guards behind him.
Mixed with the roar of artillery, these shouts and scolds seemed a little weak, and they were easily interrupted by the consistency, which made Pei Ji feel a little reluctant to laugh.
Is this the Pei clan member who my father has been protecting and protecting?
Is this the Pei clan who has been fighting on the city wall and fighting for life and death?
It’s better not to keep it!
Pei Ji stared at him coldly, and those who were targeted by Pei Ji involuntarily shrank back for a while, as if they could give them great courage and replenish him with energy. So these people soon stood up again in anger and began to point fingers at Pei Ji.
Seeing that Pei Ji was not moving, he became more and more bold. Not only did his fingers light up in the air, but he even poked Pei Ji, but some even pointed directly at Pei Ji's body...
『Dangling!』
Pei Ji drew out his sword.
Is there any blood stains on the sword completely wiped out?
Everyone couldn't help but shrink back!
Immediately, there were even louder shouts and scoldings, resounding throughout the sky, as if they were to compete with the sound of artillery outside the city, but no one dared to step forward anymore, but a distance was apart and spitting out angrily.
Pei Ji was unmoved by the scolding, and didn't even look at him a few more times until Pei Ji saw Pei Hui in the crowd.
"Second brother, why are you here too?"
Pei Ji put away the sword, and a little bitterness appeared on his face.
The crowd slightly divided and gave way.
Pei Hui was relatively weak, perhaps because he had read a lot and had some myopia, which made his eyes slightly distracted.
Pei Hui walked forward, his face also felt helpless and bitter, "I don't want to come either."
The ancient dialogue ends here.
Before, Cao's army was rushing to the city, and myopia like Pei Hui was certainly not suitable for defending the city.
After all, there is no eyebrow for swords and guns. If Pei Hui forced himself into battle, he would accidentally stab himself. Therefore, he has always been doing logistics and coordination work in the city. On the contrary, because of this, he has more friendship with the Pei clan members and the wealthy families in Anyi in the city.
Now that I heard that Pei Ji was going to open the city gate and went out, he was dragged by his clan members and had to come.
『My brother suggests that you should leave this place as soon as possible.』 Pei Ji looked at Pei Hui and said, 『Anye can't stay anymore... The Cavalry Army will only open a road and will not enter the city! The Cavalry did not move the cavalry! What does this mean? Second brother, you can't not understand... Now is the best opportunity, as much as you can walk, otherwise... Second brother, you don't know the current situation in the city...』
Pei Hui was silent for a moment, "Can't you wait any longer? Wait until the outcome will definitely be..."
『Winning or defeat?』 Pei Ji sneered and shook his head, 『Do you still need to wait? There are signs of soldiers being mobilized in the Cao army camp. Let's go out now to help the cavalry with slim power! When the victory or defeat is decided, what is it? What can it be considered?』
『…』 Pei Hui remained silent.
There is nothing difficult to understand about this shallow truth, so the important point is not to know the truth, but how to do it after you know it.
As soon as the cavalry arrived, Cao's army immediately shrank its head and the turtle was in the camp.
The cavalry only commanded some of the troops and horses in Linfen, Hedong and Yinshan, the northern part of the land, and could make the Cao army at a loss.
Yes, it is undoubtedly the safest to put the chips on when the winner is finally determined, but is this "safety" really in line with Pei's needs?
Pei Hui did not assume any important position under the cavalry, but it was actually because of the previous "win and defeat were not decided". When Pei Hui was in the Gushan Academy, after Sima Yi left, he was awarded the best in the competition, but Pei Hui did not devote himself to Fei Qian's official structure like Wang Xiang, but he still felt a little free.
Being away from the outside is of course a relatively relaxed causal chain. You can be left, right, or continue to stay in the middle and ride on the wall...
Pei Ji looked back at the dilapidated Anyi city wall, "The wall is almost collapsed... If you don't leave now, do you really have to wait until it collapses before making a decision?"
In Guanzhong and Shandong, there is indeed no decision on the outcome.
Pei Mao was the leader of Pei Mao. Pei Mao was old, so of course he hoped for stability and harmony, and that nothing would change. Even if he had lofty ideals when he was young, when he got older, few people could still maintain a young mentality and a strong enterprising spirit.
"Brother has already gone to the north..." Pei Hui frowned and said.
"I won't go to the north!" Pei Ji said.
"Then are you going to Guanzhong?" Pei Hui asked.
Pei Ji still shook his head, "Second brother, don't you think that the northern part of Hedong Guanzhong actually looks different, but in fact... it's not far away? I'm going to take this opportunity to adjust the Western Regions!"
"Western, Western Regions?!" Pei Hui was very surprised.
Everyone listened aside and was also in an uproar.
Is it too far to go out after the Western Regions?
Yes, diversifying investment is a traditional drama of the aristocratic families.
In fact, it is not only the Pei family, but also the gentry originally in Yuncheng, Hedong.
Watch and wait.
When betting on multiple parties, as long as there is a winner, they will be the winner, indicating that they are broad-minded and bet accurately. Anyway, they have more capital.
Those who are inferior to those poor, even poor families, can only hold the only chips in their hands, and then bet on the next bet, and then they will soon be cleared out of their wealth and leave the game during the opening process again and again.
If there is an accident, such as an outsider who directly lifts the table, most of the gentry clans have the last move, Pingsha falls geese protrude into the ground and spiral kneeling and licking style in all directions...
(For details, please refer to the teachings of kneeling and licking in the past dynasties.)
This is the custom of the Shandong gentry, but the Hedong gentry who has been following the footprints of the Shandong gentry can't help but become infected with such a habit. Since it is a habit, some people will think it is a problem, and some people will think it is a good plan. The two cannot communicate with each other at all.
『We can ask the Cavalry Army…』 Pei Hui paused for a moment, as if he was considering the wording, 『You can ask the Cavalry Army to come into the city and defend Anyi together…』
"Second brother, do you still not understand this?" Pei Ji smiled bitterly.
Not only did Pei Ji understand later, but Pei Mao also understood before his death, but for Pei Mao, his age was already very old, which inevitably led to Pei Mao being unable to leave Anyi, and it was unlikely that he would go to the world bravely at his age...
So it can only be the younger Pei Ji who went there!
Pei Hui was silent again.
The sound of cannon stopped at some point, and then there was a shout of killing.
Pei Ji looked back and looked outside the city, but was blocked by the city wall.
『Second brother, there is not much time...』 Pei Ji looked at Pei Hui, "Do you still want to stop me?"
"Now in the city..." Pei Hui paused for a moment, "I can't give you anything... You go...
When my parents were still there, brothers and sisters were still brothers and sisters.
Once parents leave, then brothers and sisters will be their own homes.
No matter how close you are when you were a child, you will gradually become distant as you grow up...
"No, I will follow the cavalry army..." Pei Ji whispered, "Our Pei family has been in Hedong for too long and is about to forget that the world is very big..."
Pei Hui was silent for a moment.
He is now equivalent to the "heir" of the Pei family in Anyi City, so it is even more impossible to leave everything behind and make a fortune. Family business is wealth and also a burden. If you carry it, you can't let it go easily.
I don’t know when the crowd’s scolding had stopped.
Because everyone already knew that Pei Ji had decided, no matter how much cursing he cursed, it would not change anything, but was futile. Among these people, they were not completely bad-hearted, and some were full of bad waters, but more because they lacked vision and were not broad-minded, or used their own old experience to measure the current new situation.
The reason why I feel that these people are irritable is because their will is not firm enough.
Just like now, when everyone understood that Pei Ji's intention to leave was decided and he was unshakable, he stopped talking.
『Well…』
Pei Hui waved behind him, and someone came with a brocade box.
『This is... the genealogy preparation file...』 Pei Hui took it and handed it to Pei Ji himself, 『Today I will hand it over to my third brother... No matter where the world is, remember... you are still descendants of the Pei family...』
Pei Ji's eyes felt sore, and he quickly bowed, and he took it.
It’s not that Pei Hui had expected to split the family, but he copied the family genealogy in advance. How could there be only one thing like the family genealogy that means family heritage and glory? Of course, there is a backup. Now Pei Hui has given this backup to Pei Ji, which means that Pei Ji left not because he was expelled from the clan, but because he was separated.
There were constant roars outside the city, as if congratulating Pei's new life.
Since then, Wenxi Pei family has divided three families.
...
...
The camps that Cao's army besieged Anyi were hit by artillery shells continuously, and the gap became larger and larger, and finally collapsed in large quantities.
Although the generals of the Cao army academy shouted loudly, asking the Cao army soldiers to block the gap with wooden fences, or earthen bags, etc., in fact, few Cao army soldiers were moving at all.
Especially after seeing a few naughty greens really go up to block the gap and then being bombarded by artillery fire, they just shook their heads and howled, taking all the orders of the generals of the Cao army military academy as wind in their ears.
"Come on me! Come on me!"
Cao Jun Military Academy shouted.
"I can't hear it! I can't hear it!"
The soldiers of Cao's army said that the cavalry's artillery fire was too loud and their ears were temporarily deaf.
Amid the roar of artillery fire, Xu Chu commanded the infantry to advance from both sides until the trenches on the edge of the camp, and began to deal with these trenches and deer antlers.
Logically speaking, the trenches and deer antlers are within fifty steps of the Cao army camp, and the best shooting distance is. At this time, the Cao army's archers should have climbed the village wall and shot at the infantrymen of Xu Chu. However, under the threat of artillery fire, the village wall in this area was bombarded and collapsed, which also caused many Cao army soldiers who were originally resident on the village wall to escape from the village wall.
If a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, then a villain will not stand in a dangerous place.
Only fools will go!
Cao's army was obviously smart.
When dealing with gullies, cavalry either jump or circle, or they have to have a horse in front of them but no horse in their hearts. And infantry have more relative techniques, not only can they touch, but also can buckle, and they can also pluck it down by the way...
It looks professional at first glance.
The infantrymen led by Xu Chu were all strong men. They were so busy in the Caojun ditch and were rushing to a speed of 250, and they were suddenly filled with sensation...
At the same time, the wooden boards and wooden ladders transported from behind were also delivered to the front line in time.
The ravines extending from the Cao army's barracks were quickly excavated, paved, filled, and filled.
Cao's shouts sounded from time to time behind the village wall, but only scattered bows and arrows shot out from the village wall.
In the face of artillery suppression, perhaps only elite troops can fight against the threat of death. Are the elite troops of Cao's army in the camp besieging Anyi?
Obviously not.
Under the bombardment of artillery, the village walls of Cao's army basically collapsed.
Some places are only half of the height left, while others are completely collapsed, but they are also shaky.
It’s not that the Cao army did a tofu project here, but because the Cao army camp that besieged Anyi was originally the main defense direction towards Anyi. Even if the Cao army camp tried to "make both inside and outside", it would not be possible to build it very thick.
On the other hand, the main defense system of the Cao army was built within the Cao army's camp. For example, the side camp under the city of Anyi, if it is not the focus, it is naturally impossible to build a thick village wall.
For example, the area where Cao's soldiers move on the wall does not mainly rely on the thickness of the wall, but on the passage wooden boards nailed to the wall. The strength of this wooden board is generally enough, but in the face of artillery fire, they are just younger brothers.
Although the Cao army in the camp kept calling out loudly, the Cao army soldiers near the village wall were slow to move. After three steps further, the sporadic arrows were not enough to cause any harm to Xu Chu's infantry.
Although artillery did not join the war many times, human beings' innate sensitivity to war was enough to make Xu Chu shoot a group similar to the combination of artillery.
The artillery opened the passage and the infantry followed up with the battle.
This combat mode without any precedent appears on the current land of China. This may be an instinct or an evolution.
The six-pound and six-ounce shells roared forward in the roar, invincible. Whether it was the wooden stake or the human body, they were broken and flying all over the sky. The excited dust was spinning high in the air and refused to fall.
When the cannons roared gradually, Xu Chu's infantry had already filled two trenches, built wooden bridges, quickly passed through the dangerous area, and rushed into Cao's camp!
At this time, the attacked Cao's army's side camp was still undecided.
The twin rabbit flag had already shaken so much that it was almost broken, but there was still no movement in the Cao army camp not far away, as if he had never seen or heard the roar of artillery fire here, and it was still motionless.
"what to do?"
The guards of Cao's army camp were at a loss.
He was not sure whether Xu Chu was really planning to use infantry to rush the camp, or was just a guise to open the way for the subsequent cavalry!
If the infantry really rushes to the camp, then there are many fortifications that will not be used!
After all, rejecting a horse means rejecting a horse, and it is impossible to instantly turn into rejecting people. Moreover, some small traps dug in the passage are very effective for myopic war horses, but they are almost negligible for people...
"Damn it! Should I prepare to defend against infantry or cavalry?!" The guard general of the side camp shouted, "Why did General Zilian not reply? Why did the lord not have an order?! Ahhhh, what should I do?"
Chapter completed!
