Chapter 3 Gambling (7 I)
"But it doesn't hurt to speak!" Li Jiancheng nodded and agreed without hesitation. "As long as Lone can do it, I will definitely do it for you!"
"In this way, the last general will trespass!" Cheng Mingzhen bowed his hand again, stood up, and walked to Li Jiancheng's left, "The request of the last general is that the last general and General Wang will take charge of the Tang army for His Highness." His Royal Highness and Lord Wang were more aggrieved, and temporarily replaced Yu Chigong and Song Jingang once! ”
The idea is bold enough and novel enough. Deng Shi attracted the attention of everyone present. Li Jiancheng saw that all the generals under his command were eager to try, smiled, and said loudly: "Wonderful, so it is better to figure out the thoughts of the enemy generals." I'll accompany you to deduce. They all sat down and divided into two groups, one group for Lone to join the army. A group went to give advice to General Cheng! ”
The second half of the sentence is addressed to everyone. Immediately burst into laughter. The generals who had endured it for a long time rubbed their fists, either following behind Li Jiancheng or sitting next to Cheng Mingzhen. Seeing that the group was almost divided, Li Jiancheng thought about it and proposed with a smile, "Since it's a new way to play, you might as well add some more colorful heads, so as not to hide your secrets!" ”
The men in the army roll on the head of the knife every day, so the gambling is very strong. As soon as Li Jiancheng's words fell, someone immediately took out two very uncommon golden beans from his waist, and slapped them on the corner of the table with a "snap", "I bet that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will win, this is the gold ingots rewarded by the emperor during the Chinese New Year this year, one or two each, if you have the ability, you can take it!" ”
"Just like who doesn't?" Another general surnamed Xia pursed his lips and sneered, and also took out two small golden ingots and gently placed them on the corner of the table on Cheng Mingzhen's side. "I bet that our Datang will win and destroy Liu Wuzhou in one go!"
"You kid is really good at talking, don't I want the Tang Dynasty to win?" The general who had bet earlier glanced at the general surnamed Xia and said with a sneer, "I believe in the strength of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" ”
"Hehe, let's go with the wind. After all, the two deductions just now were all red flags that had the upper hand! "There must be some personal grudges between General Xia and that general, and there is no room for speech.
was squeezed by him like this, and many people who were ready to bet on Li Jiancheng to win before were embarrassed to bet again. Let everyone put the money on the prince's side, which is really a little "disloyal" to Datang. can take the money to accompany Cheng Mingzhen to lose, and everyone doesn't seem to be bold enough to that point. After all, there were only two rounds of deduction, and all of them were won by the "Liu Wuzhou" army.
was hesitating, only to hear Li Jiancheng say with a smile: "Come on, come on, don't sell your mouth." Isn't it just a play? It doesn't matter which side you bet on, let's just talk about winning or losing today, and nothing else! ”
With the encouragement of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, everyone smiled and put the put away bets on the table again. Only about thirty percent of the people followed the "Tang Dynasty" without regrets, and the other seven **, but all stood on the side of "Liu Wuzhou".
Li Jiancheng shook his head and smiled, trying his best to pretend that he didn't care. In my heart, I couldn't tell what it tasted like. 'It turns out that everyone thinks that Datang will lose, but I am the only one who thinks that he can succeed immediately? Thinking to himself in his heart, he looked at Cheng Mingzhen, "You think the same way, so you deliberately use this method to ridicule Yu Gu." Is Lone really so stubborn that he can't listen to any objections? Cheng Mingzhen's head was raised, and his gaze met Li Jiancheng in mid-air. Seeing the loss in the other party's eyes, he quickly lowered his head again.
"Huh!" Li Jiancheng shook his head lightly while laughing. Reaching out and grabbing a pottery retort representing soldiers and horses, he slowly pushed it through the cave whirlpool.
Seeing that the other party took the initiative to start the game, Cheng Mingzhen also put away the distractions in his heart. Grab a few pottery retorts and set up a position on the wooden map one by one. In a flash of thought just now, he really hoped to express his views to Li Jiancheng through the deduction of the rice chip wood map. Master Pei Lin entrusted him with preserving the strength of the Tang Army as much as possible, but with his current status, it was impossible for him to have any effect if he spoke out. It's different to speak through the Mi Chip Wood Diagram, after Li Jiancheng thinks from a different angle, he will at least restrain the heart of the enemy.
In the blink of an eye, the two sides have been killed. Cheng Mingzhen led the Tang Army, and imitated Wang Gui's countermeasures in the previous game, and slowly pushed forward. Since Li Jiancheng represented Liu Wuzhou, he naturally imitated the style of Wei Chi Jingde, and marched forward with great triumph, trying to defeat the "Tang Army" in one fell swoop. The main forces of the two sides set up positions on the slopes north of Taigu, and they were inextricably killed, and the losses of troops were more than one-third, but neither side received the expected results.
At the moment of stalemate, Cheng Mingzhen grabbed a medium-sized pottery retort with Wang Junkuo as the main general, and 5,000 cavalry returned to the outside of Taiyuan City. "Didn't you just use this trick?" Everyone protested, dissatisfied with Cheng Mingzhen's obvious release of water to the prince. Cheng Mingzhen shook his head and said in a low voice: "It's not to loot the suburbs of Taiyuan, but to block the official road from Taiyuan City to the north, try your best to be the best messenger, and create rumors that the reason why Wei Chi Jingde can't win is because he is trying to support his own army." At the same time, spread rumors to the south, saying that Mayi County was besieged by Luo Yi and Li Zhongjian, and Liu Wuzhou was trapped in a lonely city, looking forward to it! ”
"Despicable!" Everyone scolded in a low voice, but they had to admire this trick in their hearts for being ruthless enough. Ma Yi and Taiyuan are separated by more than 700 miles, no matter which of Liu Wuzhou and Wei Chi Jingde is fooled, there must be problems between the monarchs and ministers. Even if Liu Wuzhou and Wei Chi Jingde saw through this conspiracy, the information in the front and rear was delayed, and the soldiers below would be panicked. And if the army's morale is in turmoil, it is an opportunity for the opponent to take advantage of.
"Hmm!" Li Jiancheng grabbed a glass of wine and drank it with a deep groan. Deep down, he also applauded Cheng Mingzhen's skillful hand, but the face of the main generals of the three armies made him unwilling to admit defeat and continue to try to recover the defeat.
Feng Li, who was sitting next to Li Liancheng, saw that the momentum was not good, so he started another soldier from Ma Yi and Liu Wuzhou, and went straight to Wang Junkuo. "Cheating, cheating, where did Liu Wuzhou get so many soldiers?! Even if he had, wouldn't he even want to watch the lair's people? The crowd protested, saying that Feng Li exaggerated Liu Jun's strength. Feng Liyi shook his head with a smile, and replied in a low voice: "It's all at this juncture, what kind of nest do you care about." You don't think that Liu Wuzhou can't be ruthless. He was the first wave of strong men to cross the Liao River! ”
mentioned Liu Wuzhou's glorious past, and everyone's protests gradually became smaller. Indeed, although Liu Wuzhou is getting older, his skills cannot be underestimated in any way. Back then, this son was known in the Great Sui Army for daring to fight to the death. Not only did the army rush to the first wave when it crossed Liao, and then 800 heroes returned to China after thousands of miles, and this son was also one of them.
Seeing that everyone was no longer protesting, Feng Li once again separated a group of soldiers and horses from Taiyuan City, only 3,000 people, led by "Song Jingang", abandoned the battlefield in front of him, and went straight to Lou Fu. At this moment, the situation on the wooden map was immediately reversed. Liu Wuzhou, Wei Chi Jingde and Song Jingang echoed each other from afar, and they were mutually reinforcing, and it was difficult to cut off the connection. Wang Junkuo, who broke into the north of Taiyuan City, was surrounded by three people, and was in danger of being swallowed up at any time.
Cheng Mingzhen shouted hello, divided 10,000 troops from the "Tang Army", led by "Xue Wanche", and greeted Liu Wuzhou. If you go out and give the advantage of the main battlefield to Wei Chi Jingde, you must kill Liu Wuzhou under the horse first. Seeing this, Feng Li also smiled and called the word "good", and crossed his behalf, separated 10,000 people from the "Wei Chi Jingde" army, and chased and killed "Xue Wanche" behind his back.
The situation on the wooden map was in chaos, several armies of you threatened me, I threatened you, and I couldn't tell who was worse than whom. Cheng Mingzhen continued to divide his troops from the main force of the Tang Army and went separately to attack Liu Wuzhou. Feng Li saw the move, and constantly dispatched men and horses from the hands of "Wei Chi Jingde" to rob and kill all units of the Tang Army.
Just when everyone was dazzled, they could only "snap", and Cheng Mingzhen pushed the remaining "chess pieces" in front of him and went straight to the "Wei Chi Jingde" Chinese army to kill. The soldiers and horses of "Wei Chi Jingde" were originally fewer than those of the Tang Army, and after several successive divisions, the number of people on the main battlefield was less than half of that of the Tang Army. With one enemy and two enemies, according to the algorithm agreed by both sides in advance, they were immediately defeated.
The rest of the things, without the help of Cheng Ming's shaking hands, the bystanders did it for him. The Tang army, which had won the victory on the main battlefield, turned around and headed east, eating all the way, swallowing up the "Wei Chi Jingde" army that had been scattered out one by one. The Tang army, which had been dispersed before, freed up their hands, or helped the main force kill the "Wei Chi Jingde" army, or joined forces to besiege "Liu Wuzhou", and they were very happy.
"Come again, come again!" Feng Li's face was red from defeat, and he slapped the table and said. Cheng Mingzhen nodded in agreement, and once again held the "Tang Army" to meet the enemy. The first half of the two sides basically repeated the story of the previous game, which was lackluster. When Cheng Mingzhen repeated his old tricks and sent surprise soldiers to attack Liu Wuzhou, Feng Li refused to divide his troops to rescue. Killed the main force of the Tang army, rushed and struck. In the end, Liu Wuzhou's troops were defeated and returned to Mayi, but the Tang army was forced to retreat again and again by Wei Chi Jingde, and it was not until Pingyao that they gained a firm foothold.
"I'll also have a game, General Cheng will take a breath of relief!" The general surnamed Xia pushed Cheng Mingzhen away and took the initiative to ask for help. Feng Li shook his spirit to face the battle, and the two sides went back and forth for half an hour, and as soon as the battle flag moved, the "Datang" soldiers were defeated again.
"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Some people were not convinced, and pushed the general surnamed Xia into battle by himself. This time, in less than half an hour, he was killed by Feng Li.
The other generals were itchy and took turns playing the role of both offensive and defensive sides. It was until the second half of the night, and Wang Gui was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, so he was happy, put away his colorful heads, and said goodbye.
At this time, I looked at Xue Wanche, who was in charge of arbitration, and saw him with a cold face and handed over a record. There are two sets of numbers that are very different from each other, except for a few accidents in the middle, the rest is that the "Liu Wuzhou" army won!
