Pei Qian is very busy.

Pei Han died in battle, and he wanted to hold a funeral for Pei Han. Lu Su's troops were at the city, so he wanted to arrange the defense of the city. Wenxi was just an ordinary county town and could not resist the attack of the army. In order to avoid the unfortunate encounter of the Wei clan of Anyi, Pei Qian transferred the elders and young people in the clan and all the movable property to the mountains north of the city.

After receiving Wei Ji's urgent letter, Pei Qian walked up to his small building, looked at the undulating mountains in the north, and sighed with a self-deprecating sigh.

"I'm so stupid and made such a stupid choice."

"Brother, maybe this is fate." Pei Hui walked over and happened to hear Pei Qian's sigh, and immediately followed the topic. Pei Qian looked back at Pei Hui, knowing that Pei Hui had misunderstood, but he did not explain. "What do you say?"

"I heard that there is also a Zijin Mountain in the east of Jianye City." Pei Hui walked to Pei Qian, stood side by side, looked at the mountains in the distance, and looked back at Pei Qian. "If Fenghuangyuan was just a coincidence, it wouldn't be a coincidence."

Pei Qian sneered: "Do you know how many purple gold mountains are in the world, and how many places are named after the phoenix?"

Pei Hui has always been afraid of this elder brother. Even if he has a reason to be full of worries, he would not dare to show off in front of Pei Qian. After being snatched a few words, he was a little angry and smiled embarrassedly. Seeing this, Pei Qian couldn't bear to say anything more. He actually liked Pei Hui's intelligence very much, but he just thought Pei Hui was too young and did not know how hard life was. He only envied the demeanor of famous scholars, was very clear about the way, and did not implement it, so he often hit him to avoid being too proud. Seeing that he was embarrassed, he felt unbearable and slowed down and said in a slowing down his tone: "Do you think the King of Zhongshan is not as good as the King of Wu?"

"Brother, you must know better than me, right?"

Pei Qian sighed, "Wen Ji, you are still young, and I don't know that some things are not as clear as you imagined. The King of Wu is indeed wise and decisive, but not everything can be as he wishes. Do you think he is willing to see the situation at this moment? Lu Su and Lu Meng are helpless to fight for merit. If Liu Beixu had no appearance, why would the situation be like this? It would be fine if he lost to the main force of the Wu army led by Lu Su, and even Gao Shun could not defeat him. Now he is only concerned about retreating to Bingzhou, which is really disappointing."

Pei Hui was also surprised. "Retreat to Bingzhou? The King of Zhongshan wants to give up on me Hedong? Then wouldn't the sacrifice of us Hedong people be thrown into the Yellow River?"

Pei Qian did not answer, paused for a moment, and asked again: "What do you think of Jia Kui and Jia Liangdao?"

Pei Hui said without hesitation: "Talent but not virtue, and you can make a fame. You can be a hawk or a dog, but not a minister. This matter has something to do with him? This thief has a bad habit and is doing this thing that is not good at face-to-face."

Pei Qian frowned and handed Wei Ji's letter over. Pei Hui took it, read it quickly, and couldn't help but snorted. He had always had a bad impression of Jia Kui. Seeing that Jia Kui had made plans for Liu Bei and ignored the interests of the Hedong family, he changed his face. Pei Qian was also dissatisfied with Jia Kui's decision, but he did not agree with Pei Hui's intention and pretended not to agree.

"Wenji, you like the King of Wu, but I am afraid that the one who likes the King of Wu is someone like Jia Liangdao, not you. Look at Lu Su, who is against us, it is said that he was the one who came to the door to invite the King of Wu himself. There are more than a hundred civil officials and military generals in the State of Wu, and there are only one honorable person."

Pei Hui had a dark face and said nothing.

Pei Qian was walking back and forth with his hands behind his back, and the monotonous footsteps seemed to never stop. Pei Hui thought for a moment, raised his head, looked at the Zijin Mountain in the distance, and suddenly said, "Brother, I want to go to Jianye to see it. Whether it is Hedong or Guanzhong, it is all about watching flowers in the fog. If you want to know what the Wu Kingdom looks like, it is the most direct way to go to Jianye to see it with your own eyes."

Pei Qian stopped, tilted his head, and looked at Pei Hui. "Are you alone?"

"Brother, I'm going to be an adult soon." Pei Hui was a little angry.

Pei Qian smiled and ignored Pei Hui's childishness. A half-aged boy was determined to make others regard him as an adult, but he could not hide his immatureness. But this is good. As Pei Hui said, their understanding of Wu and King Wu was indirect, and there was a deviation. If you want to truly understand Wu and King Wu, you can only go there personally. Due to his identity and being unable to get rid of himself, Pei Hui can do it. It just so happens that he has a certain talent for appraisal of people.

"You clean up, it's better to invite a few companions to study in Jianye together." Pei Qian thought for a while and added another sentence. "The faster the better."

Pei Hui was surprised and happy, and agreed repeatedly, turned around and went happily. Pei Qian looked at Pei Hui's slightly thin back disappearing at the stairs, and a smile of relief appeared on the corner of his mouth. As the eldest son of the Pei family, he was responsible for the family's important tasks and could not act as he pleased, but Pei Hui could. If he had a father in the family, he and his second brother would worry about it, and there was no need to let Pei Hui, who had not yet grown up, get involved in it.

Speaking of which, my second brother hasn't had news for a long time, and I don't know how he is in Yizhou.

Pei Qian was independent on the building for a long time, and then returned to his study and wrote a letter to his father Pei Mao who stayed in Chang'an. The situation in Hedong is not optimistic. For the future of the family, he should take the initiative to find a suitable old friend and arrange a retreat. The Pei family is not the Wei family, and he has no old grudges with the King of Wu, so there is no need to die with Liu Bei. Then he wrote a memorial to Liu Bei, explaining the importance of Bogu to Hedong and Zhongshan Kingdom. Bingzhou alone is not enough. When survival or death, it is necessary to fight or surrender. If it is broken, it is not necessary to be lucky. Instead, it is a messenger.

"It's time to persuade Pei Qian to surrender." Xinpi said, gently putting the military newspaper he had just received on the case. "Zi Ming needs time."

Lu Su lay on the desk, his eyes wandering on the map. "What did Ziming say?"

"He has taken over Bai Bo's army, but the reorganization has just been completed and it takes time to train new soldiers. If he takes on the battle now, there will be greater casualties."

Lu Su raised his head, looked at the military newspaper, and said with a slight look. "Is it a bit too early to persuade surrender now? Pei Han had just died in battle and hundreds of tribes were killed. At this moment, how can Pei Qian explain to his tribe members?"

Xin Pi sighed. He also felt that it was a bit early. Apart from Pei Han's death, the Pei family had not suffered major setbacks and might not be able to admit the reality. Now that we are persuading surrender, Pei Qian may ignore it, or ask for a price everywhere. However, Lu Meng is facing great pressure and they cannot sit idly by.

"Just treat it as a divisive move. As long as it can interfere with Liu Bei's judgment and delay his attack."

Lu Su thought about it and agreed with Xinpi's suggestion. "Who to let go? Destroy Qiu Xing?"

"Liu Fu." Xinpi smiled. "This person is Liu Yuan's younger brother, Jia Kui's wife and brother-in-law, and has a good relationship with Pei Qian. If he wants to go back, he will beat three birds with one stone. No matter how bad he is, he can still tell one or two people."

Lu Su was a little strange. "I was captured last time? Why didn't I see this name?"

"He issued a fake name, but I had asked Yuqiu Xing to confirm it, but he has not exposed him for the time being. He asked him to suffer for a few days and suffer for a few days in the prisoner camp, which is good for him. As a scholar, he must work hard and starve his body to increase his weakness." Xinpi said, while habitually raising his head, touching the back of his head, seeing Lu Su looking at him, he laughed at himself: "Just like me, if you don't get chopped by the king, you will never be down-to-earth in your life."

Lu Su couldn't help laughing and laughed. He then asked someone to call Wu Qiuxing and gave some instructions. Wu Qiuxing took the order, left the central army camp, and headed straight for the prisoner camp. Without much effort, he found Liu Fu.

Liu Fu was chopping firewood, working very hard. There was already a lot of chopped firewood at his feet. He kept raising his axe and chopping it down one after another. He was proficient in his movements. Wu Qiuxing was surprised. Although the Liu Fu family was not a wealthy family, Liu Fu was also well-versed in martial arts, but he rarely did such physical work. He didn't expect that he could be so skilled in just a few days.

Wu Qiuxing walked to Liu Fu, tilted his head, and looked at Liu Fu quietly. Liu Fu was lowering his head and chopping firewood. Seeing that there were a pair of combat boots in front of him, he didn't look like an ordinary soldier, he felt a little nervous. He slowly raised his head and found that it was Wu Qiuxing. Then he breathed a sigh of relief. His legs became weak, and he squatted on the ground, stroking his heart with one hand and pointing at Wu Qiuxing with the other hand, just laughing, but not talking.

"Brother Liu, don't be fine." Wu Qiu Xing said with a smile.

"Oh, the defeated general and the prisoner below, are there any problems? You have seen that I am now consuming with my strength. But then again, the food of your Wu army is really good. Look at me, it is much stronger than before." Liu Fu said, while exaggeratingly flexing his arms to show his muscles.

"How many more months will you stay?"

"No problem, as long as you can wait."

"Why can't I wait?"

"You come to see me, you can't just want to kill me." Liu Fu said self-deprecatingly: "If you don't meet, of course you can pretend not to know each other. Now that you have met, if you don't save me, you have to kill me."

Wu Qiuxing nodded. "Brother Liu is wise, then clean up and follow me. Are there anyone you want to save? If there are too many, three or five are OK."

Liu Fu was not polite and reported a few names. Wuqiu Xing asked his personal guard to record it and went to the captain of the prison camp to recommend it. He took Liu Fu back to the camp and told him about the current situation while walking. Liu Fu asked a few questions and nodded in agreement. After staying in the prison camp these days, his greatest hope was Wuqiu Xing, who had been waiting for Wuqiu Xing to come. Now that Wuqiu Xing is coming, he naturally cannot turn the opportunity out and endure it in the prison camp.
