Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 752 Take your life to fill it!

give up?

   How could you give up!

Pei Jin was not originally from the Prince of Wei's mansion. I don't know how much effort it took to slowly gain the trust of the Emperor Taikang in the Taikang Dynasty. He took over the imperial army again. Now he has been secretly ordered by the emperor to conquer the west, secretly I don't know how much manpower and material resources were spent. , If this is done, the emperor may not make any moves on the surface, but his career as Pei Jin will end here!

   This year, he just turned fifty!

   At this age, he should have just started to exert his strength in the officialdom. Although he has already achieved the position of the general, Pei Jin's ambition is far more than a general of the forbidden army...

  He wants to...become a general!

   Become a general like Chen Guogong's mansion, Jing'an Hou's mansion, and even Yu Zhong's family!

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

  It's done, it's probably not possible to return to Beijing as a marquis, but as long as it's done well, it's not a big problem for the emperor to give a hereditary count.

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

The general faced Xiao Zheng and gritted his teeth: "Grand Duke, the imperial court has spent a lot of money on Hanzhou, so there is no reason to give up halfway, now that the arrow is on the line, it has to be sent, Pei must not just go back to the capital like this. !"

  Xiao Zheng folded his hands into the sleeves of the wide red robe and gave Pei Jin a deep look.

   "General, that is the Marquis of Jing'an, Li Changan."

The grand duke in charge of the inner court said with a solemn voice: "The general has been in the capital for all these years, and the Marquis of Jing'an's ability naturally does not need to be told to the general by our family, and even His Majesty should give him some face and put him in the dark. After he was transferred out of the capital, he started to attack the southwest, and wanted to settle the matter as soon as possible, so even if the Marquis of Jing'an knew about it, it would be useless."

   "But now the Marquis of Jing'an has disappeared in Jizhou City to the north. Most of them already know the news from the southwest. At this time, they may be on their way to the southwest, or even..."

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

   "If the court continues to attack Hanzhou, then this Li Houye doesn't know what he will do. If he really pushes this Li Houye, General Pei will feel that he is his opponent, right?"

Li Xin's actions over the years have been observed by the senior officials in the capital one by one. While they are jealous of Li Houye's achievements, they also have to admit that this young Houye has great talents. capable person.

   Nowadays, if there is a lazy man who is not working hard in the homes of ordinary people in Beijing, their parents will use Li Xin to talk when they are educating them, saying the last sentence of your old man, Li Houye, when he was a teenager, he will be named Hou Yunyun...

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

Hearing Xiao Zheng's words, Pei Jin looked serious and said solemnly, "Grand Duke, I admire Li Houye's ability, but ability is ability, strength is strength, and now Hanzhou is surrounded by our army. As far as the strength of our army is twice that of Hanzhou army, it is still more than enough, not to mention that Li Houye is not necessarily in the southwest, even if he is in the southwest, unless he can invite the heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals, there is nothing to fear!"

   Xiao Zheng sighed.

   "I know that General Pei is not convinced, but this is His Majesty's intention, His Majesty is ready to give up."

The General    said solemnly: "The Grand Duke just said that as long as Hanzhou is captured in the spring, there will be no problem with your Majesty. Pei Jin can issue a military order now, and he will definitely win Hanzhou before the spring!"

   The general said in a cold voice, "If the Marquis of Jing'an is also in the southwest at this time, then Pei will arrest him and bring him back to the capital for his sin of leaving without permission!"

   Up until this time, the emperor did not think about turning his face with Li Xin, and Pei Jin could naturally perceive the meaning, so he only said that Li Xin had "left AWOL", and did not say that he was collaborating with the enemy to rebel.

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

  Xiao Eunuch looked calm.

   "General, don't be impatient."

   Pei Jin patted his chest.

"Eunuch Xiao, don't worry, the gap between the troops is here, there are only two results in sieging the city. The first is naturally to break the city and wipe out the Hanzhou rebels in one go. The second result is that there is no way to win the Hanzhou city before the spring. But even if we can't win, we just can't win, but we can't lose."

   General Pei looked determined.

   "Even if you can't eat Hanzhou before the spring, the Hanzhou army should lose seven or eighty-eight, and it will be disabled if you don't die. Then Pei Jin and the Grand Duke will return to Beijing to take the blame."

Xiao is a young **** from the Wei palace. Although he has become a big **** in the palace in the past eight years, he is skilled in the world and struggles for power, but he knows nothing about fighting. Jin opened his mouth and said: "Can the general really take Hanzhou before the spring?"

   Pei Jin half-knelt in front of Xiao, and said in a low voice, "Someone is willing to issue a military order!"

   Xiao Zheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

   "The general will let go."

   "Our family and Xiao Huai are here waiting for the good news of the general, and we will return to Beijing triumphantly with the general."

   Pei Jin stood up from the ground and gave Xiao Zheng a deep bow.

   "Thank you Grand Duke for making it happen."

   After saying this, he got up and walked straight out.

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

   "Godfather, do you think 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, then frowned and put down the teacup because he disliked the tea.

   "Our family doesn't understand, but looking at his confident face, I think it's quite like that."

   Having said this, Xiao Zheng took a deep breath and remembered the young man who often drank tea and drank in the palace of Wei Wang.

   "But, that Li Houye is a very powerful person..."

  …………

   Pei Jin, who was separated from Xiao Zheng, immediately gathered all the middle and high-level generals of the entire army together in another tent.

"listen."

   He said in a low voice: "From today onwards, we will cut down nearby wood, 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, his voice was cold.

   "After seven days, start to attack Hanzhou City!"

   As soon as these words came out, the expressions of these generals changed.

   The so-called strong attack means that regardless of casualties, regardless of life or death, the order will be given. As long as there is no Ming Jin, they will charge forward one after another towards the city wall.

   If it sounds good, it is called a strong attack. If it sounds bad, it means taking human life to fill it.

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

  The city of Hanzhou is so big, and it is impossible to have too many materials to defend the city. As long as these materials are used up, the city will naturally be unable to defend.

   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 expressions, and saluted Pei Jin with fists.

   "The last general will wait..."

   "Follow orders!"
