At the East Gate Wharf in Runzhou, Li Hongji was seeing off Chai Kehong who was on the expedition, and suddenly a horse came galloping.

"King Qiyu, King Yan, humbly obey the orders of General Li Shumi, summon General Chai back to Beijing."

Li Hongji raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice, "Why?" ”

The envoy said: "In this rescue of Changzhou, Li Shumi has ordered Zhu Kuangye, the commander of the Divine Guard, to replace him. ”

"Ridiculous."

Li Hongji was furious and said: "Changzhou is in danger, the army is about to be released, how can you change generals before the battle." ”

The envoy said numbly: "Li Shumi said that General Chai has never known soldiers, and if he goes, he will be sent to death in vain." ”

"How daring!"

Although Chai Kehong said that the time of leading the army was still short, the prestige of the army had been established, and several generals who had not yet boarded the boat were angry and pulled their swords.

Chai Kehong's face sank like water, waved his hand gently, signaled the generals not to be impulsive, and said to the messenger: "Chai will never joke with his own life and the survival of the soldiers of the three armies. ”

Li Hongji breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "The wine is coming, and Rong Gu will be the general." ”

The messenger took two steps forward and said, "His Royal Highness King Yan ......"

"Hmph, go back and reply to Li Zhenggu, the general will be outside, and the king's order is still not affected, not to mention the chaos."

“……”

On the trestle, Chai Kehong knelt down on one knee, took the wine bowl, his tiger eyes were slightly red, and said: "The trust of King Meng, although the last general is full of liver and brains, he will repay this Long's grace." ”

Chai Kehong got up, took a sip of the liquor, threw the bowl violently, and ordered loudly: "Go." ”

Watching Chai Kehong board the boat and go all the way south. Strategist Huang Gongfang said softly: "Why does the king trust this person so much, but seeing that he only chooses troop carriers and abandons the battleship, he is really worried, and the king has a bad relationship with Li Shumi, and he can't make it, so he has to quickly remedy one or two." ”

Li Hongji whipped the ground and laughed astringently: "I have thousands of generals in the Tang Dynasty, who is like him to fight to the death?" Just by virtue of this, it is far better than ordinary people, besides, his civil and military skills, which is comparable to a barbarian, Lone believes in him, and he will definitely be able to make contributions.

As for Li Zhenggu, huh...... The corpse eats at the place, it's just old and dry bones, don't pay attention to him. ”

"But ......"

Li Hongji waved his hand and got on his horse and whipped up.

Chai Kehong left the boat independently, and when he saw Li Hongji leading the crowd away, he turned around and entered the cabin.

The general Hong Jin said angrily: "General, it is tolerable for Li Thief to bully like this, but it is unbearable." ”

"Li Zhenggu is just a barking old dog, and it makes him proud for a while, but you follow so-and-so, but it is a grievance."

"Wronged, don't hide it from the general, although my department is poor Ding Dangxiang, it is the most comfortable and happy time for Lao Tzu to be a soldier for so many years. Just because the general and I were waiting for a big pot to stir food, a certain person was willing to eat chaff vegetables. ”

The general who spoke was surnamed Ma Mingba, and there were three scars on his face alone, the most vicious and evil, and his temperament was as anxious as fire, and he was known as "Ma Bazi".

Chai Kehong said with a smile: "I don't want to eat bran vegetables, but I don't want to, here, as long as the battle is successful, I will eat meat with you in a big bowl, drink wine in a big bowl, and drink him for three days and three nights." ”

The generals laughed and applauded.

Hong Jin said: "Yesterday, the general asked the prepared cloth and bamboo poles, but I don't know what to use, please show the general." ”

"I went to Changzhou, I arrived in the middle of the night, I am not in a hurry at the moment, and I will use it in the evening."

"No."

Chai Kehong talked and laughed with his generals again, then found a corner, lay down in his clothes, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

In the afternoon, all the soldiers on the ship used dry food, and a fast boat came like a fly, and when I saw the flag, it was a hurried envoy in the army, and Chai Kehong was busy meeting the people on the bow.

The person who came held up the token and said coldly: "According to the order of the privy general, your troops should return to the camp as soon as possible to rest, otherwise they will be punished by military law." ”

Chai Kehong chuckled lightly and said, "A certain is about to break the thief and make a meritorious service, but you come to summon a certain person back to the camp, you must be a spy of the enemy army...... Just behead the sacrificial flag, left and right, take it down. ”

Ma Ba rushed out with an arrow, leaned forward with one hand, and grabbed the neck of the envoy, and said in horror: "A certain is a privy envoy, dare you be rude?" ”

Chai Kehong said coldly: "The army goes out, even if Li Shumi comes in person, he will be killed." ”

"Chop."

Ma Ba threw it on the deck in the future, drew the knife casually, slashed hard, blood splashed three feet, Ma Ba fanned his nose, intoxicated and took two deep breaths of blood, Fang laughed and said: "Happy." ”

Hong Jin smiled and picked up the body with one hand, grabbed the head with the other, threw it on the clipper, and shouted: "You dare to make things difficult again and again, go back and tell Li Zhenggu that Lao Tzu's fast knife has been sharpened, dare to give it a try?" ”

The Clippers fled in disarray.

Jiang Feng whimpered like a cry, but the anger in the hearts of the soldiers of the three armies became thicker and thicker.

……

Nothing to say all the way.

It was not until night fell that Chai Kehong ordered the bamboo poles and cloth prepared to be used to build a canopy to hide the soldiers.

Looking at it from a distance in the night, like a cargo ship full of goods, Chai Kehong nodded with satisfaction and commanded the ship to dock at Changzhou Wharf.

At the right time, the ship approached the shore, and Wu Yuejun, who was on duty on the shore, shouted: "Who is coming, this is a military aircraft heavy place, and it is not allowed to dock." ”

Chai Kehong held the lantern high and replied in person: "A certain is the Tang Dynasty and the special envoy Qiao Kuangshun is a personal follower, and he was ordered to go south to respond, and specially bring Jiangning's specialties and money and grain into the prime minister's account, please let him go." ”

"Stop in the middle of the river first, or the arrows will be fired in unison."

Chai Kehong smiled: "You should obey orders." ”

The guard sent people to report to the Chinese army, and the commander Wu Cheng was awakened by the guards in his sleep, very dissatisfied, and said in a daze: "The two soldiers are fighting, and the envoys are circling around, it is not easy, Qiao Kuangshun is a scholar, and soon after going south, it is normal for the Tang people to worry, so you don't have to doubt it, let it dock." ”

"No."

Tang Jun lay in the cabin, did not dare to move, waited for two moments, and held up a lantern on the shore to signal, shouting that he would dock a boat first, and then talk about it after the inspection.

Chai Ke was overjoyed, waved the lantern, and ordered his ship to dock.

Chai Kehong was the first to get off the boat, holding a tray with a pile of silver ingots stacked on it, walked to the defenders, and said to the guards: "It's a small meaning, it's not a respect." ”

The silver of the white flowers was particularly dazzling under the light of the torches, and the guard took it with a smile and said, "Yes, quite sensible." ”

Before the words fell, I felt a huge pain in my stomach, and I couldn't help screaming, and a tray of silver ingots scattered and retreated.

But Chai Kehong had already pulled the knife in his hand, and finished off the guards with one sword, shouting loudly: "Kill ......"

Ma Ba, Hong Jin and the others were impatient, and as soon as they saw that the master was about to succeed, they jumped off the boat one after another, raised their swords and axes, joined the battle group, and in a few blinks, they cut down the unprepared guards to the ground.

As the sound of "Bah, Bah ......" sounded one after another, more Tang troops poured onto the dock, and Chai Kehong raised his sword and shouted: "Meritorious service, only in the present day, rush ah ......"

"Rush, ......"

The news of the attack on the wharf soon spread to the big tent on the left, and Luo Sheng, the main general of the right wing of Wu Yuejun, sneered: "It is the Chinese army camp that gives the order, and it is the matter of Laozi Bird, then Wu Chengqi is as stupid as a pig, but he thinks he can, let him go to the enemy by himself, and my battalion only guards the gate of the village." ”

"No."

Chai Kehong led the army to rush all the way to kill, straight into the middle camp of the enemy army, Wu Chengyu was pulled up by the guards in the bed, heard the dense shouting and killing sound everywhere, and did not know how many enemy troops were attacking, and the bluffed armor was not in a hurry, so he hurriedly got on his horse and fled.

In the night, Wu Zhaojun, who had no one to command, became a pot of porridge and became the ghosts of the Tang army.

In the battle, Chai Kehong's troops broke Wu Yue's soldiers, beheaded 10,000 people, and captured more than 10 enemy generals.

Compared with Tianming, Lu Mengjun led the army to attack again, and Wu Yue's army was in turmoil, and the left and right flanks were forced to retreat.

The siege of Changzhou was lifted.

"Zizhi Tongjian": "...... Huainan exchanged troops, Wu Yue came to Kou, Kehong asked for the death march, and rescued Changzhou with Lu Mengjun. When the elite soldiers were in Jiangbei, Kehong's generals had thousands of soldiers, and Li Zhenggu, the privy deputy envoy, gave Ge Jia all decay and dullness, and everyone who saw it was angry.

Chai Kehong to Changzhou, Mengqi ship to the curtain, hidden armor in it, take advantage of the night to land, the trail is thin Wu Yue camp, Luo Sheng is not able to fight, even if he makes fun of Cheng account, behead 10,000 levels, Cheng only spared. ”

Lu Fangweng's "Book of the Southern Tang Dynasty" said: "Self-protection comes to the side of the big thing, the merit of defeating the enemy, Mo Xian Kehong ......"
