On June 30 of the first year of Fengtian, outside the city of Liaozhong

A day later, Shangguan Yin Feng slowly rushed to Liaozhong City with the men and horses of the Shenji Battalion, Chen Xun and his generals were led by Cao Zhen to wait for Shangguan Yin Feng outside the city, and welcomed the dusty Shangguan Yin Feng into the Liaozhong City Protectorate.

At the same time, inside the city of Liaoyang

Chen Cheng summoned the civil official who claimed to be the envoy in the Liaodong Metropolitan Protectorate, and he had already learned from the messenger that Chen Xun led his troops to surrender, and the news of Yuan Jingchu's death was also learned at the same time, which made the soldiers and civilians of Liaoyang City rejoice, and they had held Liaodong for several years, and finally ushered in a turning point.

After learning the news of Yuan Jingchu's death and Chen Xun's surrender, the Japanese slave people quickly withdrew the troops outside Liaoyang City, which also aroused Chen Cheng's suspicion at that time.

"I can't imagine that the King of Changsha is such a hero, he actually took the impregnable Beiping City in one day, and also exterminated the Yuan family, all of which are models for us." Chen Cheng nodded, looked at the envoy standing aside, and asked, "Do you know that the King of Changsha is still in Beiping City?" ”

The envoy replied: "General Qiyu, the little one has already received the news of the preparations before coming, the king of Changsha is already on the way to Liaodong, and the people in his vanguard camp are only a hundred miles away from my Liaozhong City, and they are here in an instant, so Chen Du ordered the small one to come and send the surrender table, and asked the general to take a closer look." As he spoke, he handed the descending table in his hand to Chen Cheng.

The generals under Chen Cheng's account were all skeptical, and the deputy general said in disbelief: "Governor, it's better to be careful in this matter, don't forget the trap of the year, we have lost tens of thousands of soldiers." ”

In the early days of Yuan Jingchu's rebellion, he sent people to Liaodong to send a letter to Chen Cheng, in addition to continuing to let Chen Cheng serve as the governor of Liaodong, he also added Chen Cheng as the general of Zhendong, the governor of Liaodong affairs, and the marquis of Liaodong, but unfortunately Chen Cheng sternly refused, in the middle of the rebellion, Liaoyang for a long time, Yuan Long used a trick to deceive Chen Cheng, so that Chen Cheng took the army out of the city, and was ambushed by Chen Xun, with 20,000 casualties, and at that time, Yuan Long's plan was to kill the officials and soldiers of the Cheng Dynasty, and also let tens of thousands of his subordinates change into the clothes of the Luoyang Forbidden Army, chased and killed Yuan Long himself, so Chen Cheng took the bait.

Facing the adjutant general's reminder, Chen Cheng immediately became alert, looked at the envoy, and asked sharply, "Isn't this Chen Xun's plan?" And you want to trick Ben Du out of the city? ”

Seeing this, the envoy hurriedly bowed down and said: "Don't dare to deceive the general, it is indeed a surrender, the army of the king of Changsha is already in Liaozhong, and it will arrive in a few days, please also ask the general to be clear." ”

"Governor, don't be gullible, it's better to wait and see what happens," the lieutenant continued.

Chen Cheng nodded, this is the only way now, although the news is very encouraging, but it really can't be taken lightly, in case even the news of Yuan Jingchu's death is deliberately released, when the time comes, he Chen Cheng can die a hundred times: "Come on, take this person down, put him in prison, if the news is accurate, then release it, if it is a plan, cut off this person's head and hang it on the city tower." ”

"Whoa..."

June 31, outside Liaoyang City

At this time, outside Liaoyang City, nearly 70,000 troops gathered, 30,000 brought by Shangguan Yin Feng, 20,000 people from Shenlang in Shanhaiguan and 20,000 people from Liaozhong City, and around Shangguan Yin Feng were the pioneer battalion, the Shenji battalion and the Jinyi Guard, one after another, and the Shangguan Yin Feng was protected tightly.

On the city wall of Liaoyang, there are also swords and guns, full of soldiers guarding the city, all with serious expressions, as if facing a great enemy, and the deputy general commanding is supervising the battle back and forth, because he saw Chen Xun's troops on the city tower, and he has been more sure that this surrender is a ploy, so he sent someone to ask Chen Cheng to personally go to the city to supervise the battle.

When Chen Cheng went to the city to find Chen Xun's troops, he was also secretly glad that he was not carried away by joy at that time, otherwise it was very likely that he would have opened the city to meet Shangguan Yin Feng now, and he fell for Chen Xun: "It seems that it is really Chen Xun's plan." ”

"Dudu, if you look at the 'Cheng' character Wang Qi and the 'Shangguan' Shuai Qi in the big array, it is very likely that they are also one of Chen Xun's strategies." The adjutant general pointed to the flag fluttering in the wind, and as he spoke, he was now a little lamented by his speculation.

"What's going on? Why didn't Chen Cheng open the city gate? "Shangguan Yin Feng has been waiting in the army for a long time, and Chen Cheng has never opened the city to greet him, could it be that there is any reason?

Huang Wei turned his horse's head and headed towards Chen Xun's military formation, and after a while, he returned to Shangguan Yin Feng's side, and arched his hand: "Lord Qiqi, General Chen said that he had sent someone to send a table to the Marquis of Liaoyang, but he didn't know why the Marquis of Liaoyang didn't open the city gate. ”

Shangguan Yin Feng frowned and thought about it, there was only one reason, that is, Chen Cheng didn't believe Chen Xun's words, otherwise he would have greeted him a long time ago, so he looked at Huang Wei and said, "Huang Wei, didn't you arrange someone from Jinyi Wei in the city?" Go, give me a goodbye. ”

Huang Wei was mentioned by Shangguan Yin Feng, and immediately came back to his senses, thinking that he had arranged for Jinyiwei to come to Liaoyang, because it was too long, he didn't know what the name of Jinyiwei was, so he called two main responsible for Liaodong affairs to go with him, although he didn't know Shen Tianxi, but the main and deputy Qianhu who was in charge of Liaodong intelligence must know.

The three of them rode slowly to the city of Liaoyang, and were stopped by the positioning arrows shot from the city, and the city guard shouted: "Who is coming?" If you take a step forward, Hugh blames the bow and arrow for having no eyes. ”

Huang Wei raised the brocade guard waist card in his hand and shouted towards the city tower: "Prince Regent of the Dacheng Dynasty, Shangguan Yin Feng, the king of Changsha, has come to pay respects. ”

Chen Cheng, who was on the city tower, instantly raised his vigilance when he heard this, and asked in person, "Who are you?" ”

"The guards on the city tower listen, I am the general of the prince of Changsha, Jinyi Weibei Zhenfu Si Fusi Huang Wei, go to Tongyu Liaoyang Hou, I am going to talk to Liaoyang Hou personally." Huang Wei shouted, saying that he handed the waist card in his hand to the deputy Qianhu on the side, and the deputy Qianhu rode to the edge of the city, because Huang Wei and the others were not threatening, the soldiers on the city tower put down the hanging basket, and the Qianhu put Huang Wei's waist card straight in.

Chen Cheng turned the waist card handed by the sergeant, looked at it carefully, the waist card was made of pure gold, the front was written 'Jinyi Pro-Army Gongwei Division', and the back was written 'Beizhen Fusi Zhenfu Envoy Huang Wei' and other words, and handed it to the adjutant general to watch suspiciously, and then turned his head and ordered: "Go and invite Shen Zongqi, he is a person from Jinyi Wei, see if he recognizes these people outside the city." ”

"Whoa..."
