After his father led the army across the bridge, Cui Teng's first order to the guards was not to disturb him sleeping, anyway, his brother Cui Sheng was in charge of the army in Baiqiao Town, and he didn't need to come forward. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But I can't sleep all the time, I get tired of it one night, and after dawn, Cui Teng called in the guards, drank and gambled together, and finally found a little fun.

Cui Ergongzi's wine and gambling are average, and several guards have long experienced this, so they try to let him do their best and try their best to pour wine. This trick was successful, it was not dark yet, Cui Teng fell asleep, the guards sighed, and took away the scattered silver on the table, Cui Ergongzi gambled badly, but he didn't care about the money, and never asked where the silver went afterwards.

Waiting for the drums outside to thunder, Cui Teng jumped up violently, ran in place twice, shouted "guards" in his mouth, put on his boots, rushed out of the room, and froze all of a sudden, the entire Baiqiao Town was already in chaos, the soldiers ran around like flies without a head, and the drums came from outside the town, mixed with shouts and horses' hooves, as if tens of thousands of people were attacking at the same time.

Before Cui Teng's strength had passed, he staggered, fell forward, and grabbed the arm of a guard, "What's the matter?" The Huns called? ”

The guard shook his head blankly, "It's not the Huns, it's the Northern Army, saying that the Great Sima of the Northern Army is here and wants us to surrender." ”

"Champion Hou is here?" Cui Teng was surprised.

The guards didn't know what to say.

Baiqiao Town is not big, and the northern army outside has rushed to the edge of the town, confronting and colliding with the defenders, and there has been no direct battle yet, but the shouting is relatively loud.

"Find my brother!" Cui Teng could only come up with this solution, and ran away, followed by several guards, their duty was not only to protect Cui Ergongzi, but also to make him happy and monitor his whereabouts.

The eldest prince Cui Sheng was ordered by his father to stay in Baiqiao Town, and at this time he was gathering all the generals to discuss countermeasures.

"How can the Northern Army say that if you turn your face, you will turn your face? Isn't the champion Hou competing for the throne in the capital? How did you get here? Cui Sheng was also at a loss.

Fortunately, there are veterans who stayed to assist him, although the matter is urgent, he has already figured out the general facts, "The Great Sima of the Northern Army is not the champion marquis, but the tired marquis, and it is said that he was appointed by the emperor......"

"Tired? Inexplicably, he is not...... How many people were there in the Northern Army? How many of us are there? Can it be held? Cui Sheng asked a series of questions, as the commander-in-chief, he had no opinions at all, and he didn't know the number of soldiers under his command.

"It is likely that the northern army has received support, and the number is only no less than 10,000, and the southern army has 40,000 ......"

"If we have the upper hand, we will definitely win." Cui Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"The 40,000 people of the Southern Army are stationed in different camps, and there are only 3,000 people in Baiqiao Town."

"Huh?" Cui Sheng's face changed suddenly, three thousand against ten thousand, that is no chance of winning at all, "Hurry up and cross the bridge to chase my father, is it still too late?" ”

"General, don't worry, although the 3,000 people of the Southern Army are not many, it is enough to resist for a while, I have already sent people to the battalions to transfer troops, and the fastest hour can be reached, before dawn, at least 10,000 people can be gathered, the longer you hold on, the more beneficial it will be to the Southern Army."

"Makes sense, you're doing a good job of sending someone to inform my father?"

"Sent."

"Okay, you've done a good job."

"It is the work of the commander to defend Baiqiao Town, and the last general will just act on orders." Veterans not only fight, but also know how to be officials.

Cui Sheng smiled, "Well, hold on, you must hold on." ”

The shouts outside suddenly became louder, and Cui Sheng's face changed, "What's the matter?" ”

The old general didn't understand either, and was about to send someone out to check the situation, when an officer ran in in a panic, "No, it's not good, the northern army has entered the town and has occupied Baiqiao." ”

As soon as the white bridge was lost, there was no way to go south to catch up with the main force of the Northern Army, Cui Sheng almost fell off the chair, got up, and said angrily at the old general: "Aren't you all arranged?" How could the White Bridge be lost? ”

The old general's face was red, "I, I...... The last will go out and see ......"

An even louder voice came from outside, louder than the cries of the northern and southern armies, "Surrender!" Surrender! General Cui has an order, the southern army surrenders! Surrender all! Greetings to the Great Sima of the Northern Army! ”

This time it was Cui Sheng's turn to be red-faced, he recognized this voice, it was clearly his younger brother Cui Teng, and he couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, "Who let him out?" ”

Cui Sheng took the lead and rushed out, and the other generals followed, all feeling that things were going to be worse, if it was just a sneak attack by the northern army, it would be difficult to say, the commander's own brother blatantly agitated to surrender.

Baiqiao Town is on a main street, Cui Sheng watched a large number of cavalry of the Northern Army galloping towards Baiqiao, only a few dozen steps away from him, and some Northern Army divided into several teams, galloping across the town, dividing and surrounding the Southern Army.

Cui Sheng was dumbfounded, and the old general behind him said, "General Cui, Baiqiao Town has been lost, hurry up and transfer." ”

"How can you cross the river without a white bridge?" Cui Sheng is like an insect, the only light source that can be seen is the main force of the southern army led by his father, the river is not wide, but it has just thawed, there is water and ice, he will definitely not be able to pass.

"It's not to cross the river, go to other camps, and still have time to transfer troops and recapture Baiqiao Town."

Cui Sheng reacted at this time, "Let's go!" ”

Cui Sheng had only fifteen or sixteen men with him, escorting him in search of horses and preparing to make a detour from the edge of the town to another military camp.

Cui Ergongzi jumped out on horseback, blocked the way, and shouted happily: "Big brother, where are you going?" My brother-in-law is not here. ”

As soon as he saw his younger brother, Cui Sheng was angry from his heart and strode up to meet him, "Bastard who eats inside and out, lost Baiqiao Town, see how you go to see your father!" ”

"Tired Hou is his own family, how can he be considered a loss if he handed over Baiqiao Town to him? Besides, you are the manager, and if you want to say that you go to see your father and take responsibility, you are also it. ”

Cui Sheng's eyes were red, and he drew a knife to chase his younger brother, but he only had two legs, but Cui Teng was riding a horse, turned around and ran, stopped after a few steps, turned around and said, "Big brother, aren't you here for real?" hurts me, even if my father doesn't say anything, my mother and Lao Jun ......"

Cui Sheng hurried to catch up, and Cui Teng hurriedly ran again.

Seeing that the two brothers were getting closer and closer to the main street, more than a dozen generals and guards looked at each other, all looking at the old general.

The old general is in a dilemma, the right thing to do is to leave the commander behind and go to other camps to transfer troops by himself, maybe there is a chance to recapture the town, but in that case, he will have to bear the crime of abandoning the commander, even if Cui Sheng is rescued, it will be difficult to explain it afterwards.

"Alas, General Choi is here...... Let's share the ups and downs. The old general took the lead, and the group went to chase after the Cui brothers.

When Cui Sheng reacted, there were already soldiers of the Northern Army in front and back, and the Northern Army was busy occupying Baiqiao and hadn't noticed him yet, Cui Sheng turned around in place, and the horror in his heart once again gained the upper hand, and said to the old general who caught up: "Why did you come here?" Is there anything else you can do? ”

The old general said helplessly: "Since it was the Marquis who led his troops to attack the southern army, let's ask him why he is treacherous." ”

"Yes, question him...... Won't anger him, will you? When he was in the Iron City, he was ruthless to his subordinates. ”

"Uh...... General Cui's sister is Mrs. Tired Hou, who doesn't look at the face of the monk and looks at the face of the Buddha, so he should always take into account some family affection. ”

"The Great Sima of the Northern Army has arrived!" Cui Teng's cry came.

Cui Sheng looked up, only to see a group of cavalry holding torches, surrounded by a person galloping towards him, coughing twice, trying to stay calm, pondering how to question later.

The old general watched the coming and going of the northern army, and quickly estimated the accurate number, it turned out that the thousands of people who were still stationed outside, and there was no surprise support, and he regretted it in his heart, if he was more determined, only with the three thousand southern troops in the town, he would not give up the vital place.

The old general glanced at the coach Cui Sheng beside him, sighed secretly, and finally admitted defeat.

Han Ruzi prepared a complete attack plan, feinting all the way from the front, and attacking Baiqiao all the way from the flank, but Cui Teng's voice made his plan useless.

The rumors in the capital have made the soldiers of the southern army panic for a whole day, and the northern army suddenly turned against them, which made everyone confused and demoralized.

Cui Teng rode a horse and ran beside the tired marquis, and explained vigorously: "Brother-in-law, it's not that I don't give you a tip-off, it's really my father who watches me too closely, he treats me as a prisoner and sends six guards to guard me day and night...... Anyway, it's my fault that I didn't fulfill my promise, but I persuaded the Southern Army to surrender, can I make up for it? ”

"Well, credit to you." Han Ruzi is cold on the surface, and he doesn't seem to take Cui Teng seriously, but in fact, he is careful to deal with it, too indifferent, Cui Teng will be angry, he can do anything, too close, Cui Teng will not go up or down, Han Ruzi chose a subtle middle attitude, so that he could barely tame Cui Ergongzi's donkey temper.

Cui Teng cheered, "As soon as I saw the offensive posture of the Northern Army, I felt like your style, I didn't expect you to really become the Grand Sima of the Northern Army, what will you do next?" To fight the Huns? I missed it last time, and I'll definitely follow this time. No, let's go to the capital, it's lively over there......"

Han Ruzi ignored him and rode to Cui Sheng and the others.

Cai Xinghai stepped forward, "The Great Sima of the Northern Army is here, and you are waiting to salute." ”

The surrounding soldiers of the Southern Army have all become prisoners, and the Northern Army has officially occupied the entire Baiqiao Town, Cui Sheng's face is like ashes, and he has forgotten the questioning he has thought of, and he hesitates for a while before saying: "The Great Sima of the Northern Army is the champion Hou, not ...... It's not ......"

"Your Majesty and the Queen Mother personally passed on the holy decree and named the Marquis as the Great Sima of the Northern Army." Cai Xinghai Road.

"No, the Queen Mother and the Emperor were killed, and my father led the Southern Army to quell the chaos, how could there be a holy decree?"

Cai Xinghai was about to speak, but Han Ruzi stepped forward, looked down at Cui Sheng who was standing on the ground, and said, "Taifu has a holy decree in his hand, how can I not have it?" Cui Sheng, don't delay my time. ”

Cui Sheng's face turned paler, Cui Hong received a holy decree of dismissal, Cui Sheng was one of the very few people in the know, he began to believe that the tired marquis really had a holy decree, his heart was flustered, his legs bent involuntarily, and finally knelt on the ground, as soon as he knelt, the other generals did not hesitate, and they all knelt down and surrendered.

Han Ruzi didn't have any special feelings, but Cui Teng next to him was full of enthusiasm, looking at the tired marquis, a crazy idea suddenly popped up in his heart: his brother-in-law should be the emperor. (To be continued.) )
