Chapter 3: Glitz (Part II)

Since he won Wei Chi Jingde by designing outside Fenyang City, Cheng Mingzhen, Wang Ermao and others have been dispatched by Li Shimin, the king of Qin. However, relations between the two sides have not continued to deepen. Through the previous temptation, Li Shimin had already understood Cheng Mingzhen's thoughts, and knew that the other party had a cowardly personality and was unwilling to get involved in the battle between the Qin Palace's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion, so he was not reluctant. In addition, Wang Ermao is currently on the line of Ying Guogong Wushi, and Wushi Ji himself is Li Yuan's henchman, without effectively grasping that Cheng and Wang will be loyal to him, Li Shimin would rather keep the two of them in their current state than risk having one more father and emperor around him.

However, after all, Li Shimin is a generation of heroes, and his open-mindedness is far from being comparable to that of the prince. Knowing clearly that Cheng and Wang were not used for their own purposes, they still treated the Zhaozhou camp and his descendants equally. The performance opportunities that should be given are no less than others. The supplementary grain and grass equipment is no worse than the descendants. Encountering a hard bone that is difficult to gnaw, Li Shimin would rather suffer some losses from his descendants than use peripheral troops like the Zhaozhou battalion to fill the ditch. After the battle, in the merit book, he never forgot to fill in the soldiers of the Zhaozhou battalion.

After a long time, the soldiers of the Yuzhou battalion felt that they couldn't go. There were many discussions in private, and they all thought that His Royal Highness King Qin had an imperial mind, and it was worthwhile to follow such a hero to fight on the battlefield. Later, even Zhang Jin, who had only one elm pimple in his eyes in the past, was deeply impressed by King Qin's bearing, and quietly found Cheng Mingzhen several times and praised King Qin as a rare hero.

"King Qin is a masterpiece of the world, there is no doubt about it!" In front of Zhang Jin and others, Cheng Mingzhen did not hide his good impression of Li Shimin, the king of Qin. "It's a pity that I was born a few years late, otherwise I ....."

There is no need to say the rest of the words, just point to the point. Zhang Jin thought about it, still a little unwilling, sighed, and said in a low voice: "The dragon is three inches long and can walk in the rain, and the python is a vegetable worm." If Your Majesty really thinks about the Tang Dynasty, it is good to choose the best and stand up! ”

"Alright, you're a man. Well, the scar forgot the pain! Wang Ermao rushed over from behind and patted Zhang Jin on the shoulder, "Who doesn't stand up, it's not the emperor's own words?" What are we going to do? ”

Speaking of the scars of the past, Zhang Jin's face darkened. But can the events of that day be the same as today? On that day, it was General Wang Fubao's high achievements, plus Dou Jiande's narrow-mindedness. Today, however, it involves the long-term peace and stability of the country and the future of everyone. "King Qin is a fierce tiger!" Sighing, he continued, "The crown prince is an old cow at best. Even if you successfully take over the position in the future, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince people! ”

"What will happen in the future, we will talk about it later!" Cheng Mingzhen smiled and was noncommittal. "Let's get the things in front of us first. Whoever becomes the emperor doesn't need someone to help him take care of the house? ”

"That's right!" Zhang Jin shrugged his shoulders and didn't bother anymore. The current task of everyone is to block the road leading to Luoyang from the Tiger Prison Pass, which is not difficult, but it should not be taken lightly. If you can't even do this little thing well, even if you take the initiative to serve, King Qin will not have a suitable position there.

As he spoke, everyone beat their horses and walked out of more than two miles. Seeing that the sky was already dark, and there was not half of the shadow of the enemy army within a radius of more than ten miles, he planned to restrain the team and camp to rest. This time, they brought more than a thousand brothers, a water of light armored cavalry, when they encountered the enemy, they could fight and go, and they came and went like the wind. Like a stinger, it deeply stabbed into the weakness of Wang Shichong's army.

Before Cheng Mingzhen could choose a suitable camping spot, a burst of birdsong suddenly came from not far away, followed by Huangya Bao, the commander of the sentry detective, riding a peach blossom horse, and hurriedly ran over.

"What's the matter, can't you use a password to communicate?" Cheng Mingzhen frowned slightly, and asked in a low voice. Even if it was merged into the Tang Dynasty, the Zhaozhou camp still maintained the rules of the past. The orders are strict and the military appearance is neat. Liaison between the top and bottom must follow a unique approach.

"Report, report to the general!" Huangya Bao wiped the sweat from his forehead and responded breathlessly, "King Qin, King Qin is here!" ”

"Where?" Hearing this, Cheng Mingzhen was taken aback. didn't care to blame Huangya Bao anymore, and asked in a low voice.

Two miles away, General Wang Fei had already caught up. I'm slowly coming this way! Yellowtooth Bao jumped off his mount and whispered in response. Only brought more than two dozen guards, and General Qin Shubao was not around! ”

"This King Qin!" Without waiting for Cheng Mingzhen to speak, Wang Ermao smiled and sighed. In my heart, I was surprised and admired.

"Yes, that is, King Qin! Have this courage! Zhang Jin and the others laughed and discussed. Everyone has rolled on the head of the knife, and what they admire the most is the warrior who dares to charge. And Li Shimin, the king of Qin, is just in line with the image of a hero in everyone's minds. In the battles with Wang Shichong's army, every time he personally led the Chinese army to rush to the front line. Qin Shubao on the left, Chi Jingde on the right, pointed by Lance Feng, the enemy wolf rushed to the dolphin.

Cheng Mingzhen didn't know why King Qin came, so he had to order everyone to line up to meet him. Before the order was passed down, Li Shimin's laughter had already come through the night, "Don't bother, everyone." The black light is blind, and he talks so much about false etiquette. Continue to camp, I'll come to General Cheng to ask a few words! ”

"I've seen His Royal Highness King Qin!" Cheng Mingzhen took everyone forward a few steps and saluted with fists.

Li Shimin jumped off his mount and clasped his hands together, "Don't be polite, everyone." I came out for a walk and stopped by to have a look, so I didn't send anyone to inform me in advance. General Cheng, General Wang, you two come with me. Other generals! Laughing and hugging his fists, he continued: "What should I do and continue to do something, wait for me to ask General Cheng a few words, and then invite everyone to drink!" ”

"Your Highness!" The crowd responded loudly, then walked away in amusement. Li Shimin looked at Cheng Mingzhen, then at Wang Ermao, and proposed with a smile, "There is a dirt slope over there, can the two generals go up and sit with me?" ”

"As His Highness wishes!" Cheng Mingzhen and Wang Ermao handed over the war horse to the entourage and responded with a smile.

Li Shimin walked forward, Cheng and Wang Ermao followed, and Wei Chi Jingde led a few personal soldiers to lead the mount to follow nearby, slowly swallowing, and walked towards a low hill not far away. After walking a few steps, Li Shimin turned around and said with a smile: "Originally, I wanted to invite the two generals to my side to discuss matters. But the king had been suffocating in the camp lately, so he came over in person. When I was halfway through the run, I suddenly remembered that the general's whereabouts were erratic, and Wang Shichong couldn't find it, so I guess it would be difficult. Fortunately, the scouts under General Bao's command had sharp eyes and recognized General Wei Chi from afar! ”

In a few words, explain your intentions clearly. Wang Ermao smiled and responded in a low voice, "Fortunately, it's not completely dark, otherwise, you may really mistake Your Highness!" ”

He originally wanted to say something modest, but unexpectedly, in everyone's ears, it became a ridicule of the black-faced lieutenant Chi Jingde, and they laughed one after another. Since the death of Lu Jianfang, Wei Chi Jingde has hated Wang Ermao to the core. He can't seek revenge against his colleagues, but he will never pretend to be a friend of him. Without waiting for everyone to put away their smiles, they immediately snorted coldly and pouted: "So many people have missed it, what's the use of scouting?" Did the two generals lead their troops like this? Fortunately, Wang Shichong was scared by His Royal Highness, and he didn't dare to take the initiative to go out of the city to trouble you! ”

"If Wang Shichong's people dare to come, set up a trap and capture them all alive! What's the trouble, it's just a matter of effort! Wang Ermao's mouth has always been unforgiving, and when he heard that Wei Chi Jingde took the initiative to provoke, he immediately ridiculed him.

"I'm afraid that I will be picked up again and won't lay eggs!" Yu Chi Jingde sneered repeatedly, grasping Wang Ermao's performance that day.

"The gentleman uses wisdom, and the villain makes strength! If you can win, why care if the process is good-looking! Wang Ermao shook his head and dismissed.

The two of them faced Mai Mang with a needle, and they had a lot of fun. Li Shimin was afraid that the fight would hurt the feelings of both parties, so he smiled and said in a low voice: "Hehe, hehe." The two generals are both heroes in the world, so don't fight for a while! If it weren't for the good plans of the two generals, Cheng and Wang, I would not have had the opportunity to get acquainted with General Wei Chi. If it weren't for General Wei Chi's martial arts, why would the two generals waste so much effort to make traps? We don't know each other, and no one will mention the past. After all, it's a fate. In the future, we will work together to make a name for ourselves immediately! ”

"Just him?" Yu Chi Jingde shrugged, very optimistic about Wang Ermao's skills.

Patient with the face of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, Wang Ermao was too lazy to fight with him anymore. smiled and changed the subject, "Just now His Highness said that there was something to ask me and others, I don't know what the important matter is?" Don't go again, go again, it's too far from the camp and it's not safe. After all, this is the door of Luoyang Army's house, and it is inevitable that one or two watchdogs will come out! ”

"If that's the case, just slaughter the wine!" Li Shimin responded with a smile, found a rock and sat down, and then slowly drew on the ground, "In Wang Shichong's hands, there are only three lonely cities left. But Luoyang City is high and deep, and the tiger prison is the danger of the world, and the original Wucheng is a little worse than the first two, and it is also vigorously repaired by the old general Zhang Xutuo, which is very difficult to overcome. Lone was going to resort to siege tactics and drain them little by little. Unexpectedly, according to the latest information sent by Xizuo, Dou Jiande agreed to Wang Shichong's request and led nearly 200,000 troops to kill. A few days ago, we have arrived at the bank of the Yellow River. At present, the Yellow River has not thawed, and he may step on the ice to cross the river at any time! ”

"Ahh Cheng Mingzhen and Wang Ermao were both taken aback. Seeing King Qin talking and laughing before, the two brothers thought that it was nothing big for the other party to find him. Who would have expected that the situation would be so grim, and in the blink of an eye, the Tang army was already threatened from the north and south, and the enemy was on its back.

"Silence!" Li Shimin looked around and lowered his voice as much as possible, "Don't let more people hear it, so as not to disturb the morale of the army." The two generals used to walk under Dou Jiande's tent back then, and they were the people who knew the enemy's reality best. Today, I discussed with the brothers all day, but I couldn't come up with a safe solution. So I came to you overnight, hoping that the two generals would come up with ideas for me! ”
