Gao Xizao, who was not far behind Yang Su, caught a glimpse of Yu Wenkai hurrying away, and couldn't help but smile and whispered to Taifu Yuwenshu: "It's still the King of Jin Chitose chess!" A little trickery can be a soldier without a fight. Lord Taifu, the rumors in the city are rumored to be in the Jin Palace, right? With this rumor, the bluffing Yang Su Lao'er didn't dare to move lightly, and he didn't dare to bewitch His Majesty. ”

"Hehehehehe! Rumor? The old man doesn't know! The two looked at each other and walked away laughing.

It's just that what Emperor Wen and the hundred officials didn't expect was that the matter discussed by the court today would soon be transmitted to the state capitals of the Great Sui. Among them, the Jin King's plan to dig the Tongji Canal turned into an established fact, which made the gate lords of the feudal towns in the Central Plains state capitals panic, and an undercurrent of conspiracy to jointly counter the southward movement of the Jin king's forces began to surge among the gate valves.

Back in the Jin Palace, Yu Wenshu relayed today's court discussions to Zhang Heng, who was waiting here, Zhang Heng couldn't help laughing when he heard it, and couldn't help but secretly praise the master's clever methods.

"Thank you Lord Taifu for your help, since everything has been taken care of, it is not appropriate for the lower officials to stay in the mansion for a long time, and I will return to Luzhou tomorrow. The lord is still waiting for news from the next official! ”

"It's okay, please remind His Royal Highness the King of Jin that the matter of digging a new canal needs to be handled carefully, otherwise, someone in the court will take advantage of the topic."

"Taifu's words, the lower official should personally tell the lord that the lower official has resigned." After that, Zhang Heng got up and bowed to Yuwen Shu.

After returning to the military camp outside the city, Zhang Heng immediately gathered his entourage and sent a man to Shuofang City to inform General Yuwen Chengdu to withdraw from Shuofang and return to the Hetao garrison. At the same time, he sent people into the city to find thousands of Dong Ke to return to the camp to discuss matters.

Five phoenix buildings in the city.

Wei Chigong and the three young officers with whom he had befriended specially invited Dong Ke, a member of the Military Intelligence Department, to drink together at the famous Wufenglou Hotel in the capital today.

Dong Ke was also in the camp without incident, so he accepted the invitation of the generals, and the five of them were pushing the cup to change the cup at this time. There are many officials and eunuchs among the diners who drink and feast in the restaurant, but there are not many generals and generals who come here to drink. In addition, Dong Ke is dressed in brocade clothes and has a lancet hanging from his waist, and his bearing is extraordinary. Wei Chigong and a few others were dressed in new-style military uniforms and were also dressed in special attire, which attracted a lot of attention from the gate they entered.

"Brother Dong, do you still need someone from the Military Intelligence Department? The younger brother is angry that the eldest brother's splendid clothes look better on his body. I'm still a trainee officer in the martial arts hall, and I'm trying to find a place to go? After a few glasses of wine, Wei Chigong began to babble nonsense, causing the entourage to laugh. Even Dong Ke couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

"Wei Chi Lao Hei, even if this officer asks you to go to the military intelligence department, this dress will be wasted on you! Or honestly go back to the martial arts hall to study, and you have a good place to go after graduation. Dong Ke patted Wei Chigong's broad shoulders and joked with a smile.

"Yes! Brother Wei Chi, now that my Hedong Jin Army is employing people, there is a shortage of generals in all state capitals, and the eldest brother should be famous on the battlefield with a good martial arts. MIA is where you need to use your head, and that's your shortcoming. Xue Ju, a young general who was drinking, said with a smile.

"You Xue Bai, you are laughing at Lao Hei, I'm a rough man and have no brains, right?"

"Hehehehe---" Wei Chigong's words immediately made several people present laugh, and Yu Chigong himself slapped the table with laughter and stomped his feet.

"The thief upstairs, what the hell is that prodigal hooves kicking your mother!" Suddenly, there was an angry curse from downstairs. It turned out that Wei Chigong stomped his feet for a while, and shook off the dust of the floor under his feet like peppercorn noodles into the bowl of the wine eater downstairs. The drinker is two brothers who are officials in the forbidden army in the capital, one is called Wang Tianhu, and the other is called Wang Tianlong, who has just returned from the duty at the north gate and met to drink in this restaurant.

Wei Chigong heard it clearly, caused a fire, put down the wine glass, jumped up, and ran downstairs as if flying.

Hearing the sound of footsteps going upstairs and downstairs, the Wang brothers were already standing and waiting to fight. Wei Chigong opened his strange eyes and roared angrily: "Entering the mother thief, how dare you scold me?" "The punch of the brush actually ran to the door of Wang Tianhu's face.

It was also this Wei Chi Gong who was a little drunk, unstable in the lower plate, and a little floating in his punch, but this punch was caught by Wang Tianhu and pulled in front of him. Wei Chigong couldn't stand on his feet, and his body fell forward. At this time, Wang Tianlong took Yu Chigong's other arm and grabbed it, and the two brothers both freed up a fist and beat Yu Chigong's back like a drum.

More than a dozen punches were fought in an instant, and all the wine and meat that Wei Chi Gong had just drunk were spit out of his mouth. After spitting out the wine and meat in his belly, Wei Chigong was a little sober, and shouted in his mouth: "Ah! Ahh If you are a thief, it's easy to fight, it's easy to fight! ”

A few people upstairs heard that the sound was wrong, so they hurriedly got up and ran downstairs. Xue Ju and the other three saw that Wei Chi Gong was beaten badly, so they wanted to step forward to help in the battle, but they were stopped by Dong Ke.

"Two military masters, why do you hurt people?" When Dong Ke saw the armor on these two people, he knew that they were officers of the forbidden army in the city, and at this time he could only persuade peace, not fight.

"Huh! It's all you waiting for the foreign army to come here, and the forbidden army in Beijing has been frequently mobilized and bumpy. Today, my two brothers are drinking here, but you are waiting upstairs to spill, which spoils Lao Tzu's wine, and it is time to fight. Wang Tianhu pointed at Dong Ke's nose and scolded.

"We are all officers in the Hedong Jin Army, how could you two scold you?" Dong Ke listened to the other party's insults, and immediately became furious.

At this time, Wei Chigong, who was being held hostage, took out an arm and punched Wang Tianlong's lower abdomen on one side. Wang Tianlong screamed, clutched his stomach and bent down. Seeing that his brother was beaten, Wang Tianhu ignored Dong Ke and the others, and threw a punch at Yu Chigong's raised chest, and with a bang, it was firmly pounded in the chest, knocking Wei Chigong back a few steps.

At this time, Xue Ju and the other three couldn't hold back any longer, and they all stepped forward and beat up the Wang brothers. With these 4 people surrounding the Wang brothers, Dong Ke had no choice but to watch from the sidelines.

Suddenly, seeing that Yu Chigong, who was beaten to the fire, lifted a wooden stool and was about to smash it on Wang Tianhu's head. Dong Ke saw it, was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab Wei Chigong's hand and said, "Okay, a few punches are enough, don't provoke people's lives." ”

When the four men heard this, they stopped.

At this time, I saw that the Wang brothers had been beaten like pigs' heads, their faces were blue and purple, and they were softly spread aside.

"The wine was drunk, the fights were fought, and the brothers got up."

"Hit refreshed, let's go." Xue Ju grabbed Wei Chigong, who was about to fight again, and walked out, and a few people followed and went out. Supporting each other, upside down, laughing all the way. That Wei Chi Gong was originally beaten the worst, and at this time he was like no one.

But before a few people left the city, they heard a noise behind them, and one of them shouted: "Those drunken birds in front, Hugh is leaving." ”

Dong Ke suddenly felt bad when he heard it, and hurriedly looked back, only to see that the beaten Wang brothers were leading 4 or 50 forbidden troops to rush over.

It turned out that at this time, a team of forbidden troops in Beijing who were patrolling the city were all brothers on duty who were familiar with the Wang brothers, and they were passing by the Wufeng downstairs, and they were bumping into the Wang brothers who were beaten and went out.

When Dong Ke saw that the other party was overwhelmed, he hurriedly grabbed Wei Chigong and shouted, "Don't run yet, run!" ”

After several people reacted, most of the wine was also awakened, and they hurriedly followed Dong Ke and ran to the city gate.

When he was about to leave the city, he heard the pursuers behind him shouting to the gatekeepers at the city gate: "The brother guarding the gate stopped these people for me, don't let him wait to escape." ”

The city gate forbidden army had already seen a group of people running in the distance, and they had already known that the people who were chasing behind were the patrol city forbidden army squad, and the people running in front looked like the Jin army outside the city. When he was hesitating, he heard someone in his own forbidden army shouting wildly. Immediately reacted, hula, and more than 20 forbidden army colonels gathered at the city gate, all armed with knives and guns to surround Dong Ke and Wei Chigong, unable to move.

At this time, there was already a Jin Wangfu who went out to investigate the fine work at the city gate, and knew that the few people who were surrounded were the officers of the Hedong Jin Army outside the city, and there was a person who was dressed in a bright dress but was dressed by a thousand households in the military intelligence department of the Jin Palace.

"Quick! Go and save someone. This thin panting ran all the way to the door of the Jin military camp and said urgently.

At this time, an officer of the Jin army with two elite soldiers was ordered to enter the city to go to Wufeng Tower to find Dong Ke, who was drinking, and other people came back, caught up with this Jin Wangfu detective to report in detail, and hurriedly asked, "Who are you?" Who are you trying to save? ”

"Hey! Go for it! Not far from the city gate, a thousand-household official and several generals were surrounded and beaten by the forbidden army in the city, and they were afraid that their lives would be lost when it was too late. ”

"Huh? Hurry up and order 200 people and go into the city with a certain person to save people. "This officer is confused, and at this time he also knows who the besieged person is, isn't it Dong Ke and Wei Chigong? was also beaten by the group, which was worth it, and hurriedly made the decision to let the elite soldiers behind him go to the camp on the side to summon 200 people to rush to the city to rescue. I heard that my brother was beaten by the forbidden army in the city, and there were only 200 people who followed him into the city.

Such a battle also alarmed Li Jing and Zhang Heng in the Chinese military tent, and heard that Dong Ke of the Military Intelligence Department and several officers under his command were beaten. Shocked, Li Jing hurriedly led the Chinese army 2,000 horses into the city to check the situation, and Zhang Heng was also busy riding into the city to find out.

Soon, the city gate was congested, and the open space inside the city gate was now enclosed in a circle. Dong Ke's five people were surrounded in the center, huddled together back to back, and pointed at the forbidden army who surrounded them with a single knife in their hands.

Under the leadership of Wang Tianhu and Wang Tianlong, the forbidden army pointed guns at a few people in the circle and did not dare to move, but the two sides were scolding each other with all kinds of obscenities.

The scene was in a stalemate, at this time, I saw a war horse outside the city gate and rushed in from the crowd, Dong Ke and the others raised their eyes and were suddenly surprised, Wei Chigong hurriedly shouted: "General, the last general is here, quickly kill this group of bitches." ”

Li Jing entered the city with 2,000 cavalry behind him, and after entering the city, the cavalry surrounded the city gate from the outer ring. Seeing that reinforcements came from the Jin army in Hedong, the forbidden soldiers suddenly panicked and looked at Wang Tianhu and the others.

In a panic, I heard Li Jing shouting: "Put down all the knives, and you will pay for your life if you get out of the human life tools." The accompanying guards were also shouting, forcing the forbidden soldiers to put down their weapons.

Wang Tianhu heard Li Jing's shouts and knew that this general was the lord of the Jin army outside the city, so he hurriedly signaled his subordinates to put down the knife and gun, and he also hung down the head of the knife, and shouted at Li Jing: "This general, this matter has nothing to do with your Hedong Army, it is these boys who got drunk and provoked trouble. General, let's see what to do! You must know that the forbidden army in my capital is not easy to mess with. ”

When Li Jing was about to talk, he saw a general of the forbidden army in the city rushing here with a sword and a horse with thousands of forbidden troops. The general who led the army was none other than Zhang Xun, the general of the Prince's Mansion. When he got the news, he came from the north of the city with the forbidden army.

Wang Tianhu saw that his superiors led the troops to arrive, and immediately straightened up his waist, and hurriedly stepped forward to report: "General Zhang, the last general brother was eating wine in Wufeng Tower, and he was beaten by these Hedong soldiers for no reason, and the brothers of the forbidden army in the city wanted to be angry for a certain general and surrounded the perpetrator at the city gate. ”

Zhang Xun's arrival caused all the forbidden troops at the city gate to surround his horses, so that two distinct divisions were formed at the city gate, and the two divisions of men and horses took the lead against each other.

"Hey! The general on the other side, Zhang Xun, the commander of the forbidden army in the capital, is, what is the name of the general? And why do you connive at your subordinates to bully my forbidden soldiers? After Zhang Xun heard the reason, he shouted angrily in his heart and asked Li Jing on the other side.

At this time, Li Jing had already learned the reason for the incident from Dong Ke's mouth, and he couldn't help but be irritable, knowing that if he investigated it deeply, even if his side was justified, he might not be able to please him if he committed trouble in other people's territory, so he turned his head and glared fiercely at Wei Chigong and the others who were provoking trouble. Hearing the general of the forbidden army on the other side asking, he hurriedly took a few steps forward and bowed his hand: "It turned out to be General Zhang!" The last general, Li Jing, the general of the Luzhou Central Army in Hedong, was offended. ”

"Oh? It turned out to be Li Jing, a famous general in Luzhou, Hedong. Zhang Xun couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and was secretly taken aback in his heart, this name had long been heard as the general of the Prince's Mansion, this person was the most relied on by King Chitose of Jin, wouldn't he be a mortal enemy with King Jin, Zhang Xun couldn't help but make trouble.

"It turned out to be General Li Jing! Fortunately, fortunately! Seeing that Li Jing was polite, Zhang Xun had no choice but to bow back, with a wry smile on his face.

"General Zhang, my subordinates have drunk and spilled, hurting your brother, you think this should be ----"

"Huh! General Li, originally he and others were all martial artists, and this little injury was not a big deal, but your Hedong Army fought more and less, which is not authentic. After Zhang Xun saw that Li Jing took the initiative to admit his own fault, he asked with some sour words.

"Huh! Whether it is the Hedong Army or the Beijing Forbidden Army, they are all soldiers of today's saints, and they should not be fighting in this city. It's better to do this, you and I let the generals who provoke trouble each have one person, and let the two of them have a lively fight, the winner doesn't like it, and the loser is not to blame! I won't participate, what does General Zhang think? It's just that the point is up, and you can't get your life done. ”
