Goguryeo in the continuous crusade of the east, has long been out of life, seeing the army under the city, the minister and the king of Goryeo after several discussions, decided to surrender without a fight, the emperor looked at the surrender in front of him, but there was no imaginary sense of excitement, exhausted the country's strength after three crusades, in the end it was the result of this ridiculous, he accepted the surrender, with the army of Hao Hao Tang Tang back home.

In mid-May, the news of Goguryeo's surrender without a fight spread throughout the Great Jin, and the news reached Fufeng Village, Yan Xining finally breathed a sigh of relief, since there was no substantive battle, Yan Feng should be safe and sound.

During this time, because of Chen Luo's previous experience in the army, the men of Fufeng Village were greatly rectified, and the way of governing the army was passed on to Dewey, Yun Yifan, and Chen Da San, and he went out of the village to persuade the nearby homeless people and small teams of bandits to come to Fufeng Village, and the strength of Fufeng Village increased greatly after training, and the court sent several times to suppress bandits, and finally failed to return, Fufeng Village was in the limelight for a while, the emperor returned to the east from the east, and was furious when he got the news, and sent the right Wuhou general Yuwen to lead 10,000 elite soldiers to suppress the bandits.

On July 10, Yun Yifan and Dewey led 5,000 men and horses to ambush in the Luobei Plain, before and after, Yuwenjin's army could not react, was defeated, the soldiers fled, Dewey was brave and invincible, captured Yuwenjin alive, after the news reached Fufeng Village, Zhai Changsun was overjoyed, and immediately decided to hold a celebration banquet for the two.

At night, the moon and stars in the sky are sparse, a huge torch is lit on the square of Fufeng Village, illuminating the square as bright as day, the sound of silk and bamboo on the field is endless, several young girls are dancing in the square with a seductive dance, the dance posture is charming and moving, the generals sitting around are enthusiastic, Zhai Changsun raised the wine poured by the maid, and said to Yun Yifan and Dewey who were sitting on the left and right: "Thanks to the two bravery, Fufeng Village can turn the danger into a disaster this time, I salute you." ”

"Where is the lord, if it weren't for Brother Chen's expectation, let us take advantage of the lush wood and grass in summer to ambush Yu Bei Plain, and catch Yuwen off guard, how could we win so smoothly this time." Yun Yifan got up and drank the wine, poured another glass and saluted Chen Luo: "I salute Brother Chen." ”

"Virtuous brother doesn't have to be polite." Chen Luo said, drinking the wine down.

"Yifan is right, since Brother Chen Xian came to Fufeng Village, our strength has increased greatly in a short period of time, and we have become the most feared force in the imperial court, even I, the owner of the village, am ashamed of myself compared to you." Zhai Changsun said with a smile.

"Didn't the lord kill me when he said this?" Chen Luo listened to Zhai Changsun's words, and quickly got up and saluted in fear.

"Brother Chen Xian doesn't have to be humble, your ability, we all have it." Zhai Changsun motioned for Chen Luo to sit down and continued: "Now that Yuwen is close to us, how to deal with him?" ”

Chen Luo listened to his words and replied: "Now that the Eastern Expedition is over, the army has returned to the dynasty, this time the emperor sent troops to encircle and suppress us failed, and soon there will be the next move, in the long run, we will not be able to resist, I propose to leave Lishan and capture Xingyang, where there is not only a stable city, but also the granary of the Great Jin Yongji Cang, as long as it is captured, it can be used as our rear, and the court will have a long-term confrontation." ”

"Xingyang? It's a military city heavily guarded by the imperial court, so I'm afraid our military strength won't be able to capture it, right? Chen Da, who was originally concentrating on watching the dance, came back to his senses and shouted.

"Yuwen has been stationed in Xingyang for three years, and he knows the marching garrison in the city well, as long as he surrenders to us and captures Xingyang, not to mention that he is very sure, he is still seven or eight points sure." Chen Luo looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice.

"General Youwuhou is an official of the third grade, can he throw down the official of the third rank and betray the court? Don't we have any advantage over the imperial court now? Dewey said disapprehantly.

"Hehe, this Brother Du doesn't have to worry, he has lost the battle now, with the emperor's temperament, even if he doesn't lose his life when he goes back, he can't keep it, not to mention, he has a fatal weakness." Chen Luo looked at everyone with a confident look.

"What Achilles' heel?" Listening to his words, Zhai Changsun became interested.

"The lord doesn't know, Yuwen is in deep love for his wife, Mrs. Yuwen is jealous, Yuwen really doesn't even want a concubine for her, and the beauties that the emperor gave him all refused, this time he led the troops to suppress the bandits, the emperor was afraid that he would bite back, so he put his wife and children under house arrest, I rescued them a few days ago in Chang'an's secret agent, and it should arrive at Fufeng Village in a few days, as long as Mrs. Yuwen agreed, Yuwen Jin categorically will not refuse again." Chen Luo explained to Zhai Changsun.

"It is said that there is no need to be suspicious, and there is no suspicion in employing people, so the emperor is like this, I am afraid that it is not only the hearts of the people that have been lost, but even the hearts of officials and scholars will not be able to maintain for long, why haven't you heard about Brother Chen Xian's rescue of Mrs. Yuwen in Chang'an?" Zhai Changsun looked at Chen Luo suspiciously.

"Whether I can rescue Mrs. Yuwen, I am not sure before, so I did not inform the lord before, speaking of which, this is thanks to the medicine that Miss Yan helped me make, if it were not for her medicine, I am afraid that it would be quite difficult to rescue Mrs. Yuwen." When Chen Luozheng sighed, a soldier ran in and saluted Zhai Changsun and said, "Lord, Miss Yan Xining asks to see you." ”

"Speaking of her, she came, let her in." Zhai Changsun laughed.

When Yan Xining walked into the square, he smelled the heavy aroma of wine wafting in front of him, obviously they had already drunk a lot of wine, the dancers and musicians in the field had already retired with interest when Zhai Changsun and they began to deliberate, and now the rest of the people on the field are characters with a certain status in Fufeng Village, Yan Xining looked around, and saw that they were all looking at herself, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous, she saluted Zhai Changsun and said: "Lord, am I not at the right time?" ”

Zhai Changsun smiled: "You came at the right time, just now Brother Chen Xian talked about you." ”

Speaking of me? Say what about me? Yan Xining looked at Chen Luo suspiciously.

Chen Luo coughed and said with a smile: "It just so happened that the girl had superb medical skills and helped our village owner a lot, so the girl came." ”

"Brother Chen has won the award, and Xi Ning has been taken in by Fufeng Village, these things are naturally what Xi Ning should do." She turned her head to look at Zhai Changsun, knelt down on one knee without warning, and gave Zhai Changsun a big gift: "Lord, Yan Xining has a reluctant request, and I hope that the lord will fulfill it." ”

Zhai Changsun was startled, and quickly got up to help her up: "The girl has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, why bother with this big gift." ”

Yan Xining looked up at Zhai Changsun, took a breath, and said slowly, "I want to leave Fufeng Village." ”
