Since the Liang army sent out its troops, it has progressed quite smoothly. The resistance of the local Northern Wei defenders was not worth mentioning at all, and it was almost instantaneous, and it didn't take much time to capture more than ten cities.

Cao Zhongzong, the commander of the Liang army, was full of ambition at the moment, and was drinking and enjoying himself with several henchmen and generals in the camp tent.

"It's still General Cao's might, since the army was dispatched, he has been invincible, the Wei army has fled without looking at the wind, and his subordinates all admire it!"

"Yes, if it goes on like this, even if it goes straight to Luoyang, it's not impossible!"

"It's been awarded, it's been awarded." Cao Zhongzong smiled all over his face, and pretended to be modest and said, "It's just to do your part and share your Majesty's worries." ”

Everyone was in a hurry, and Chen Qingzhi suddenly broke in.

"Oh, Imperial Envoy Chen is here, hurry up, please take a seat." Cao Zhongzong greeted warmly.

Chen Qingzhi didn't mean to sit down. He respectfully saluted Cao Zhongzong, and then asked, "General Cao, our army is currently smooth sailing, only more than 100 miles away from Voryang, why don't you go straight to Voryang in one go, but set up camp here and waste three days in vain?" ”

"Gee, how can this be called a waste." Cao Zhongzong put down the wine cup and said with a flushed face, "Imperial Envoy Chen also said just now, our army is currently smooth sailing. Although the Wei army is vulnerable, but the soldiers are flesh and blood after all, it is inevitable that they will be tired, and the general will stay here for a while, just to let the soldiers recuperate their spirits, and then take the vortex yang with one blow! ”

"The soldiers are fast, although the current situation of our army is very good, but the Northern Wei Dynasty will never sit idly by, and will inevitably send a large army to resist, if our army can't take advantage of the enemy's reinforcements to conquer the vortex, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles!" Chen Qingzhi said.

"Where is the army of the Northern Wei Dynasty?" Cao Zhongzong's tone was sarcastic, "This general only sees that the Wei army is vulnerable, and Voryang will inevitably be taken by our army in one fell swoop, Imperial Envoy Chen, you are too worried." ”

"At present, it is only the local defenders who are fighting with our army, and of course their combat strength cannot be on the same level as our elite Liang. But the Northern Wei Dynasty has lost Shouyang, this time will not be taken lightly, the reinforcements must be exhausted, at present we have not grasped the movements of the Wei army, it does not mean that there is no Wei army......"

"That doesn't mean there must be Wei Jun!" Cao Zhongzong interrupted Chen Qingzhi's words, "Imperial Envoy Chen, I'm afraid that you are a little too ambitious and will destroy your own prestige." Even if the Wei army comes, the general will inevitably kill him and lose his armor and be defeated! ”

"General Cao, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to underestimate the enemy so much, right?" Chen Qingzhi suppressed his anger and said as pleasantly as possible.

"Imperial Envoy Chen, the morale of our army is currently high, but you are using these words to shake the morale of the army, is it appropriate?" Cao Zhongzong slapped his palm on the case in front of him.

"General Ben knows that you have won a few small battles." Cao Zhongzong had a contemptuous look on his face, "But I, the Cao family, have been generals in the past dynasties and have made great achievements for the Great Liang, do I still need you, a chess boy, to teach the general how to lead the army and how to fight?" ”

As soon as Cao Zhongzong's words fell, those generals immediately burst into laughter, it can be said that although Cao Zhongzong's words were rude, he said what these generals wanted to say but did not dare to say, after all, this chess boy general in their eyes was a popular person in the dynasty who was deeply trusted by His Majesty.

Chen Qingzhi still suppressed his anger, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Although there are different opinions, they are all for the sake of Daliang, so why should General Cao insult him?" It's just that if our army continues to delay again, I am afraid that we will lose the opportunity......"

"Imperial Envoy Chen," Cao Zhongzong interrupted Chen Qingzhi again, "Don't you also have thousands of people?" I heard that your thousands of people are elite, if you don't worry, you can lead your own men and horses to Wuyang, with the weak combat power of the Wei army, you will definitely be able to take Wuyang! ”

"Whether you can take Voryang or not, I don't dare to jump to conclusions, but since General Cao allows it, I will go first, and I hope that the general can pull out the camp and set off as soon as possible, so as not to delay the fighter." After saying that, Chen Qingzhi said goodbye, turned around and left.

Looking at the back of Chen Qingzhi leaving, a general said with some concern, "General Cao, this Chen Qingzhi is His Majesty's henchman after all, are you not afraid that he will hold a grudge by humiliating him in public like this?" ”

"What can he do to me?" Cao Zhongzong took a big sip of the wine cup, "My Cao family is also a famous family in Daliang, and he has been a general for generations, he is a lowly person from a poor family, he is lucky to be favored, and he is arrogant, and the general has long been unpleasant." ”

"Yes," someone echoed, "No matter how favored he is, but in the end, His Majesty still relies on these high-ranking families, like Chen Qingzhi and Zhu Yi, who are scholars in the middle school, who are just clowns who have gained power for a while, and they are just clowns who jump off the beam after all." ”

"When my brother Cao Jingzong was fighting with the Wei army in Zhongli, he was still wiping his nose with his sleeve." Cao Zhongzong said arrogantly, "What qualifications does a humble person like him have to point fingers in front of this general?" Today he is bringing shame upon himself. ”

"Indeed, today's general also spoke out for his subordinates! It is a pillar like a general who dares to say these words. ”

"Then this Chen Qingzhi will really take his thousands of people to Vortex Yang? After all, he still has the identity of a fake festival. "There are still some people who are worried.

"General Ben is still afraid that he will not go." Cao Zhongzong didn't think so at all, "Just his pitiful soldiers and horses, he still thinks he is an elite division, and he is dressed in white clothes all dressed in pretend, and he looks unlucky." If he really dared to take this little bit of men and horses to Wuyang, General Ben still respected him for some courage. ”

"But if something really happens, Your Majesty will blame ......"

"What can Your Majesty blame?" Cao Zhongzong spread his hands, "What you all saw with your own eyes is Chen Qingzhi's greed for merit, leading his troops out of the army without authorization, and his sword has no eyes, what can you blame us?" ”

"That's right! Right! It was Chen Qingzhi who was greedy for merit and left without authorization......" The generals echoed Cao Zhongzong's statement.

"Although this Chen Qingzhi is alarmist, at this time, General Ben really hopes that the Northern Wei Dynasty can send a large army to come, and we can have a hearty battle." Cao Zhongzong drank all the wine in the wine cup.

"Then should we also prepare and lead the army to Voryang?" A general asked.

"What's the hurry, do you really think that the Wei army is coming?" Cao Zhongzong said disapprehantly.

"Does General Cao think that the Northern Wei Dynasty will not send reinforcements?"

"There must be reinforcements, but today's Northern Wei Dynasty is long gone, and it is necessary to have both external and internal security, how many troops can be drawn."

"Then if Chen Qingzhi really bumps into the Northern Wei reinforcements, he will rely on his little men......"

"It's best to be wiped out!" Cao Zhongzong laughed, "Those thousands of people, for our army, are not painful, but they can help us find out the movement and scale of the Wei army. ”

"General Cao is clever!" Some generals couldn't wait to pat themselves on the back, "It turns out that Chen Qingzhi is just a bait thrown by the general, which can not only detect the Wei army, but also teach Chen Qingzhi a lesson, kill two birds with one stone, and be clever!" Attribute admiration is so much that the body is thrown to the ground! ”

"So, let's rest here with peace of mind and wait for news from Chen Qingzhi and Wei Jun." Cao Zhongzong poured his wine cup full, looking complacent, "If you want to talk about war, this general is much smarter than you...... little chess boy."
