Pei Changqing was very young, less than twenty-three years old. But he had been in charge of Rouyuan County for several years, and had made good achievements during that time. When Du Qi visited Rouyuan County incognito, Du Qi didn't inform Pei Changqing, but he was quite satisfied with Pei Changqing's governance.
Pei Changqing was from the Pei Clan in Hedong, a famous family, and he had his own requirements.
He hoped to make excellent achievements.
Because Xia Xia's strength was getting stronger and stronger. As long as he performed well and made excellent achievements, then he would have a meteoric rise in the future.
After entering, Pei Changqing stood still and cupped his hands, "General Xiao, General Ma."
Xiao Yuanqi immediately waved his hand and invited Pei Changqing to take a seat. After Pei Changqing sat down, Xiao Yuanqi said, "What brings you here today, County Magistrate Pei?"
Pei Changqing said, "General Xiao, the reason why I'm here is because it involves the Tang Army coming to Rouyuan County. Rouyuan County is close to the border, so I pay special attention to the border news. I also arranged some people to lurk in Guazhou and pay attention to the news there. So I also got the news that the Tang Dynasty is sending troops. "
Xiao Yuanqi smiled, "If County Magistrate Pei wants to inform us about the Tang Dynasty sending troops, then there's no need for that. I've already received the news that Li Shimin is coming with the Tang Army. "
Pei Changqing shook his head, "That's not it."
Xiao Yuanqi asked, "What is it?"
Pei Changqing said, "The news I want to tell you is that there are some bad people from the Tang Dynasty in Rouyuan County, as well as some people who have been instigated by them. The situation of these people is under my control. Based on a rough estimate, there were at least 1500 people in this group. What I mean is, now that Li Shimin has come ahead of time, should we take action in advance and kill all of them? In this way, it can be regarded as a show of strength to Li Shimin. Leaving this group of people alive is tantamount to leaving a disaster behind. "
Xiao Yuanqi was a bit surprised, because he didn't expect that Pei Changqing would give him such a big surprise.
Pei Changqing actually knew the situation of the Tang Dynasty spies in Rouyuan County.
Xiao Yuanqi said, "County Magistrate Pei, if I remember correctly. Previously, His Majesty had traveled around the country incognito. When he returned to Gaochang, His Majesty mobilized the bad people of Xia Xia and a portion of the military forces because of Lu Jinsheng to kill countless people who had been instigated. Since then, there were very few undercover agents in the Tang dynasty. How did you find this place? "
Pei Changqing had a smile on his face as he said, "General Xiao, actually, this is also a fluke. Back then, His Majesty had mobilized the entire nation's power to kill countless enemies. After this incident, I don't think the Tang dynasty will let it go. "
"That's why I planted many spies in the entire Rou Yuan County. They were all ordinary citizens who worked in various trades and professions. They watched everything in the county for me. That's why I'm aware of everything that happens. "
Xiao Yuanqi said, "Especially if there are outsiders or other situations, I know about them. That's why I know that many bad people from the Tang dynasty will come later. Fortunately, these people have already been caught. "
After hearing this, Xiao Yuanqi didn't rush to make a decision. Instead, he looked at Ma Yuan and said, "Ma Yuan, what do you think?"
Ma Yuan said, "Then let's kill them."
Speaking up to here, Ma Yuan paused for a moment and then continued, "At this point, there's no need to do anything. When Li Shimin arrives, we'll lure the snake out of its hole. Since we already know who the enemy is, let's catch them all. When Li Shimin's army arrives, we'll throw all these people out and destroy Li Shimin's prestige. "
Ma Yuan said, "After all, even if we catch these people alive, Li Shimin won't admit it, and he won't be affected. Let's just kill them all to prevent future troubles. "
Xiao Yuanqi said, "That's right. We can arrange it that way."
A smile appeared on Pei Changqing's face as he said, "I also agree that we should catch all of them in one net, because there's no need to lure the snake out of its hole. The most important thing is to ensure the safety of Rouyuan County. Ensuring that there are no variables in the city is the most important thing. "
After a pause, Pei Changqing said, "To catch all of them in one net, we need the cooperation of the two generals."
Xiao Yuanqi asked, "How?"
Pei Changqing said, "I'll arrange people to block the four gates, and then General Xiao will mobilize the troops to catch the people of the Tang dynasty one by one at the same time. Only in this way can we be foolproof. If it's me who mobilizes the county government's soldiers, it'll be difficult to play a big role due to the lack of manpower. "
Xiao Yuanqi said with a smile, "No problem. I'll do my best to cooperate."
At present, since Pei Changqing was confident, he would do his best to cooperate.
Pei Changqing went with the flow and said, "Currently, I need six thousand troops. These 6,000 troops will be divided into five groups and go to five places. But the time to dispatch the troops is set to half an hour later. I'll go back to the county government and arrange people to guard the four gates, allowing people to enter but not to go out. Only in this way can we ensure that everything goes smoothly. "
Xiao Yuanqi said, "No problem!"
Pei Changqing didn't waste any more time and immediately told him the location of the operation and the people to be captured. After all the information was relayed, Pei Changqing took his leave.
Xiao Yuanqi looked at Pei Changqing's back as he left. He then looked at Ma Yuan and said, "Ma Yuan, our Majesty's vision is really good. Even the lowest level county magistrate is neither servile nor overbearing in handling matters, and is extremely steady. Especially Pei Changqing, he's really good. "
Ma Yuan said with a smile, "Old Xiao, I know Pei Changqing's background. In the Central Plains, the Pei Family behind Pei Changqing is also a famous family. He's also a talented person in the Pei Family. Now that he's come to Xia Xia, it's actually a bit of a waste of his talent to be a county magistrate. But he's still young and has plenty of opportunities in the future. Especially now that His Majesty is expanding, people like him will have too many opportunities. "
Xiao Yuanqi said with a smile, "That's true!"
The two had just made arrangements to send out the troops half an hour later when another soldier came in and bowed, "General Xiao, there's a letter from His Majesty."
Xiao Yuanqi nodded and took the letter from the soldier.
He quickly read it and said with a smile, "Ma Yuan, good news. His Majesty has won a great victory. Now, His Majesty has already transferred the troops and horses, leading Xue Rengui's army to the direction of Yizhou. But His Majesty has hidden his whereabouts this time. So, His Majesty's next move is a surprise attack. "
Ma Yuan also quickly read the news.
After he finished reading, a smile appeared on his face, and he said confidently, "We will definitely win this battle."
If it were just Ma Yuan and Xiao Yuanqi, it wouldn't be a problem for them to guard. But if they wanted to counterattack, it would depend on luck. But now that Du Qi was already on his way, the two had full confidence that Xia Xia's side would definitely win.
This was the confidence brought by Du Qi.
