Chapter 106: Not Old, Really Thick-skinned!
Pingyong City and Dagong Mountain Wa'er Valley are twenty or thirty miles apart, and Chen Ziqian doesn't even want the county seat this time, so he naturally wants to race against time to solve all the problems.
You must know that a desperate gamble is not just as simple as abandoning the city to avoid Cao Zhiyong, Zeng Yuanqi is still in the way back to Yong'an, if you can't fool that dog thing over, this throw is really possible to throw all the family money.
It's just that Chen Ziqian was a little unexpected, when Wa'er Valley waited for him to arrive, there were already corpses everywhere, and broken halberds and arrows could be seen everywhere.
Zeng Yuanguang led his troops to surround Wa'er Valley, and the morale of the team was low, and the people and horses also lost a lot.
Fortunately, Chen Ziqian sent Fang Changping as the vanguard first and led 5,000 soldiers and horses to rush here, otherwise Zeng Yuanguang would have been provoked one after another, but he would really have to attack Wa'er Valley.
If this battle really starts, it will completely push Zeng Yuanqi to the opposite side, and with the little soldiers and horses left by Zeng Yuanqi, he can only choose to take refuge in Jing Ce Nian if he can't afford it.
If you don't say that it's better to rush early, the three parties confronted each other outside this Wa'er Valley, and no one dared to act rashly for a while.
The mountain is cold at noon, but the atmosphere is extremely hot and restless, and people from all sides are tense, and they may rush out at any time to fight to the death.
Especially when he learned that Fang Changping's side was full of Chen Ziqian's people, Zeng Yuanguang was even more murderous, and he couldn't wait to immediately order the whole army to rush up and kill.
However, the remoteness of the place was not conducive to cavalry maneuvering.
Moreover, Chen Ziqian was menacing, first 5,000 soldiers and horses swept the formation, and then personally arrived with the remaining tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.
Zeng Yuanguang endured the anger in his heart, and in order to avoid another accident, he had to order a slow withdrawal from Wa'er Valley and pull the team to a flat place not far away, so as to ensure a moderate advance and retreat.
Fang Changping didn't bother either, and without waiting to inform Le Yingqing in the valley, Chen Ziqian came to the front of the formation accompanied by a group of shadow guards.
Looking at the mess outside the valley, Chen Ziqian's expression on his face was also surprised.
really underestimated Le Yingqing's sisters, who could still be so rigid in the face of tens of thousands of cavalry, and they also took advantage of her.
This sister is not simple!
"Lord!" Fang Changping arched his hand, and wanted to lead the troops to encircle and eat Zeng Yuanguang's cavalry team, but was interrupted by Chen Ziqian's wave: "Let's go to meet Zeng Yuanguang first." ”
Chen Ziqian, accompanied by Fang Changping, took the initiative to step forward, with a warm smile on his face, not at all like he had a deep hatred with the other party: "General Yuanguang, I haven't seen you for many days, don't come to harm!" ”
"Dogs, you dare to show up!" Zeng Yuanguang had a gloomy face, pulled a hard bow and said unkindly: "You take away my Yong'an, slaughter my Zeng clan, this hatred is not shared, since you are here today, then don't go!" ”
"General Yuanguang is a little restless, and listen to the next explanation first!" Chen Ziqian lowered his posture and put on a flattering face and said: "General Yuanguang, there is no offense here, and General Yuanguang's family has never been embarrassed by his family, and now he is still living in Yong'an, how can he say that he is slaughtering?" ”
"Is that true? Are my Zeng clan members really safe? Zeng Yuanguang was anxious when he heard this.
"The specific situation is not very clear below, and we will not know until we return to Yong'an." Chen Ziqian said with some regret: "But when this war is raging, it is inevitable that a little accidental injury will be made." ”
"What do you mean?" Zeng Yuanguang frowned slightly, and he didn't know what Chen Ziqian was trying to do when he said this.
Chen Ziqian shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't have any special meaning, I just want to return the Zeng clan people safely." ”
"Would you be so kind?" Zeng Yuanguang naturally didn't believe it.
Chen Ziqian smiled bitterly and said: "General Yuan Guang said this is too hurtful, although I Chen Ziqian is not a righteous gentleman, but at least the public and private are clear, before you and I were in our own camps, fighting each other is a business matter, there is no resentment in death and injury, in the final analysis, you and I are not mortal enemies, and in private Lord Zeng has also helped, this kindness is still in my heart, and it is not very appropriate to return the Zeng clan?" ”
Chen Ziqian sighed and said: "What's more, we still have a common enemy at the moment, and it is better to be able to turn war into jade silk than to fight to the death and finally make wedding dresses for others." ”
"Hmph, that's a nice thing to say, do you think I'll be gullible when I say this now?" Zeng Yuanguang is not stupid, the current situation is so unfavorable to Chen Ziqian, at this time, it is almost close, and his intention is not obvious enough?
Chen Ziqian didn't care about Zeng Yuanguang's disdain, and said bluntly: "Believe it or not, General Yuanguang must listen to the next and finish his words first, after all, it is a matter of the safety of the entire Zeng clan......
"I talked for a long time, but I was holding my Zeng clan hostage." Zeng Yuanguang snorted coldly: "Now you are just a trapped beast, Jing Ce Nian is pressing step by step at the moment, but you are leading your troops to appear here, I think you must be desperate now, right?" ”
"Although your ministry now occupies the two counties of Peilaining and Yun, the situation is not much better, is it?" Chen Ziqian said in a showdown.
Zeng Yuanguang's face sank slightly: "You can see it, but it's a pity, Mr. Jing promised first, as long as my brother joins forces with him to eliminate your department, the previous mistakes can be written off, and the real desperate thing is that you are not us......"
"Hahahaha...... General Yuanguang, are you kidding me? Chen Ziqian interrupted with a laugh: "Lips and teeth are cold, rabbits and dogs are cooked, you dare to believe the words of the old fox in Jing Ce Nian, then I really have to weigh it carefully, whether the next words are worth talking." ”
Zeng Yuanguang frowned slightly and said: "Mr. Jing is a famous Confucian in the world, do you think he will be as hypocritical and treacherous as you?" ”
"It doesn't matter if he is hypocritical or treacherous, but now he even has Chang Chuan in his pocket, if he really intends to join forces with you to eliminate him, why do you need to run to take Chang Chuan at this juncture, wouldn't it be more convenient to directly unite with you to cover Pingyong?"
Chen Ziqian smiled coldly and said: "Chang Chuan is on the right wing of Peilai, as the saying goes, on the side of the couch, you can't allow others to sleep soundly, everyone has stretched out their hands, but you are still in a dream." ”
"Wake up, Jing Ce Nian is a white wolf with empty gloves, if you dare to join forces with him, that is to seek skin with the tiger, and when the time comes, I am afraid that there will be no bones left after being gnawed." Chen Ziqian looked like he hated iron but not steel, as if the elders were teaching the younger generations in Dundun.
"According to what you say, cooperating with you is not seeking the skin of a tiger?" Zeng Yuanguang looked contemptuous, if it weren't for Chen Ziqian, how could they have fallen to this, and now they still have the face to run to say such things, this person is not very old, how can he be so thick-skinned?
Chen Ziqian said with a smile: "The premise of joint cooperation is mutual benefit and win-win, you cooperate with Jing Ce Nian, the final result will only be annexed or even killed, you have no interests to occupy, and with the cooperation below, you can not only welcome back the relatives of the clan, but also make Jing Ce Nian dare not rashly make a move, this is a real benefit, which is better and which is worse, which is more important, General Yuan Guang had better go back and discuss with Lord Zeng first." ”
"Oh yes, time is pressing, Le Lin Taishou Cao Zhiyong has sent 40,000 troops to Pingyong, we can arrive tomorrow, there is not much time left for us, this is your only chance to turn the tables against the wind, there are still hundreds of thousands of stones and grains and grass in Pingyong City, if you miss it and don't want to cooperate with you, then don't blame Zai for being unkind, directly send troops to attack Ningyun and return to Yong'an."
"You want to withdraw to Yong'an?" Zeng Yuanguang squinted his eyes slightly, he understood the stakes, the question was why did Chen Ziqian tell him this?
Yong'an was their territory before, and now it is taken by Chen Ziqian, even if he is snatched by Chen Ziqian, he actually said in front of him that he wants to return to Yong'an, aren't you afraid that he will gather troops and horses after he goes back and block the road back to Yong'an with all his might?
"If you withdraw to Yong'an, you can still stand on your own feet in Yong'an, but if you stay, it will only increase your consumption, and when the time comes, I am afraid that even Yong'an will not be able to keep it, so it is natural to go back as soon as possible to consolidate the foundation."
Chen Ziqian told the truth: "General Yuanguang, I am from the bottom of my heart, I really don't want to mix in the troubled waters of Pingyong, if you immediately send troops to Pingyong County, you can also start again in the future, without me stirring up in it, you can also go all out to regroup, right?" ”
"Can you still believe your words?" Zeng Yuanguang looked skeptical.
"What's the good of me lying to you, you have to put yourself in it, am I full?" Chen Ziqian said a little impatiently: "Anyway, I'm all I say, you go back and weigh it yourself, if you haven't let Kai Ningyun in the afternoon tomorrow, then I have no choice but to attack and take the road in order to protect myself, and in the end, whether to consume each other with me as an enemy, or to take Pingyong and start over, you choose for yourself!" ”
