Chapter 28 Hundred Battles and Righteousness (7)
Chen Zhiyuan hasn't closed his eyes for several days. It is impossible for any little lady to sleep well when faced with two strong men eyeing her at the door, waiting to knock down the other party and snatch herself, and there is a sister at home who may kill her at any time.
In the past, if he had insomnia, Chen Zhiyuan would stand in front of the highest windowsill of his pavilion, or simply sit on the eaves and look at the night sky in the distance. But in the past two days, whenever Chen Zhiyuan saw the two military camps under the mountain, he would not be in a happy mood, so these habits were gone.
The lamps were dim, and the flames of the oil lamps swayed in the evening breeze, illuminating the shadows of the pillars and furniture in the house, all shaking, like a group of evil spirits who would choose people to devour at any time. Chen Zhiyuan sat in the room, picked up a book and read it, his brows furrowed slightly, obviously reading was not a very pleasant thing for him. He wanted to drink some wine, but thinking of the situation facing the cottage, he gave up this plan.
Throwing away the unknown book, Chen Zhiyuan simply closed his eyes and rested.
I don't know how long later, there was a sudden strange noise in the courtyard.
Chen Zhiyuan didn't care at first, but in the next moment, his eyes suddenly opened, and a terrifying light shot out of his black eyes. His eyes quickly moved from side to side, indicating that he was listening intently and thinking quickly.
"Big ...... Big boss, no, someone has broken in! A minion rushed upstairs and shouted to Chen Zhiyuan.
Chen Zhiyuan was already in front of the window.
He held the knife behind his back in his right hand.
He had a full view of the situation around the attic, and the courtyard, which was not yet a difference in the eyes of others, had made his face pale.
Chen Zhiyuan knew that the other party had made a move. But who is the other party? Sun Baigong? Li Huan? Or Li Congjing?
He didn't expect that the cordon of the small courtyard he had carefully arranged would be so vulnerable - how elite the other party was!
Not far behind him, there was a hemp rope hanging down, as long as he pulled the hemp rope, the whole village would know that there was something wrong with him, and he would come as fast as possible - but if he really needed to pull this hemp rope, it made no difference whether he pulled it or not. Just like now.
A black object attacked him, and Chen Zhiyuan stabbed him with a backhand, and the thing became two halves and landed at his feet.
Suddenly, Chen Zhiyuan's eyes lit up. He already recognized what it was.
Almost at the same time, a figure had already landed outside Chen Zhiyuan's window.
The person who came was not masked.
Not only is he not masked, but he is also wearing chain mail.
The two looked at each other through the window.
Chen Zhiyuan didn't know each other.
The man spoke, his voice seemed to be emotionless, and he said: "The token that my general asked me to bring, I guess the master Chen still recognizes it." I came on behalf of my general, recruited Liang Zishan, and asked Chen Da to help arrest Sun Baigong. ”
This man's words are direct, simple, undetouring, and seem impersonal. He is naturally Meng Ping.
Chen Zhiyuan looked at the other party with cold eyes and said, "Li Congjing has already solved Li Huan, and there are still his reinforcements?" ”
Meng Ping said: "Everything here is already in the hands of the commander. If there is nothing wrong with the big boss, please let your people give up resistance. ”
Meng Ping pointed to the people in the courtyard downstairs, where there were still some minions who were confronting the sergeants of the Hundred Battles Army.
Chen Zhiyuan's face was not good, and he said in a deep voice: "You killed my people?!" ”
"We killed your people." Meng Ping almost repeated Chen Zhiyuan's words in a calm tone, and he looked directly into Chen Zhiyuan's eyes, "However, Master Chen should understand that with the current situation, this is the price that must be paid. If Chen Da is in charge of the family at this time, I am afraid that there will be changes in this cottage, and by then, you and I will die. ”
Chen Zhiyuan knew that Meng Ping was talking about Sun Baigong, and he also knew that Meng Ping was very reasonable, but he still had a question that he had to ask, he said: "I'm not surprised that you can go up the mountain from the back mountain, but how can you not find out until you enter my yard?" ”
It's about one's pride and dignity. It just so happens that Chen Zhiyuan is a proud person, and proud people value dignity. Chen Zhiyuan thinks that he is not an incompetent person, and the line of defense he has arranged cannot be so weak.
Meng Ping said: "Master Chen wants to talk about the sentry you arranged?" Although it is a pity, I have to tell you very clearly that these people of yours are nothing in front of the elite of the regular army of the imperial court. ”
Chen Zhiyuan's face turned pale.
"This is not the end of the world, the imperial army is not rotten; This is a world of great contention, and the world is as strong as a forest. These people in charge of Chen Da are not enough to see. Meng Ping said, his tone was still calm, he didn't despise or look up, "You don't know how strict the Hundred Battles Army is in terms of training. ”
In the end, Meng Ping showed a smile, like a child, he pointed to a person downstairs and said, "If that's not enough, then how about her." ”
Chen Zhiyuan saw the peach dying. With one foot on the railing, her hands resting on her knees, she leaned forward and looked out of the mountain. It's boring, but it's heroic.
Chen Zhiyuan's cheek twitched, he let go of his body, put away the knife, and said, "Please come in." ”
Then Chen Zhiyuan said downstairs: "Tie up Yang Feng and Ma Liu for me!" Seeing Meng Ping looking over, Chen Zhiyuan spread out his hand and said, "These are all spies bought by Sun Baigong." ”
In the Anyi Army barracks, Li Huan was looking upstairs, staring at the equally heavily guarded Hundred Battles Army barracks, his brows furrowed slightly.
His lieutenant came up and, by half a pace, stood behind him.
"The commander is ready to wait for reinforcements to arrive?" The adjutant asked.
"How else? This is the safest thing to do. Li Huandao.
The adjutant sighed lightly and said, "I'm afraid it may not be." ”
Li Huan turned his head and stared at him, "What do you mean?" ”
The adjutant general smiled and said, "The commander has already thought of it, so why bother asking his subordinates?" ”
Li Huan looked ahead again, and his eyes became deeper, "Are you saying that we can transfer reinforcements, and Li Congjing can also transfer them?" ”
The adjutant general knew how to attribute all the credit to Li Huan, so he took over and said, "The general can naturally think that the reinforcements transferred by Li Congjing may not come here. ”
Li Huan sneered and said contemptuously: "Li Congjing thinks that there are more people and horses than the envoy, and he will definitely be able to eat the envoy, so if he transfers reinforcements, he will definitely send them on the road to directly intercept the army invited by the envoy from Luzhou!" ”
The adjutant general was pleased: "The commander will naturally not sit still. ”
Li Huan said proudly: "The envoy naturally wouldn't do that stupid thing. After speaking, he turned around and said, "It's just that these are all speculations, and they can't be true." If he was to chase after the wind and catch the shadows, he made a mess of things first, and let Li Congjing take advantage of it, it would be really stupid! ”
"If that's true, what then?" The adjutant general's eyes were worried, "Li Congjing relied on the fact that there were more people than us, and he intercepted and killed all the scouts of our army, and we couldn't go out to find out the news, so naturally we couldn't grasp the latest situation." This Li Congjing's hand is indeed vicious, and non-sinister villains can't come up with such a plan! ”
Li Huan sneered: "I'm afraid that even if there are scouts, they may not be able to detect the movements of the reinforcements of the Hundred Battles Army, who knows which way they go, and there are not so many people to send, who can monitor every road!" ”
The adjutant general sighed: "If the commander has thousands of troops and horses in his hands, what can't be done? It's just that the commander, even if Li Congjing does not mobilize reinforcements, this time our army arrives, we can't take Li Congjing and Liang Zishan, and the credit of the commander will be discounted! ”
Li Huan's face changed.
The deputy will continue: "This time, let the commander come to recruit An Liangzishan, the credit is all the commander, and the commander is also favored by the queen." It's just that until now, let the reinforcements come and do it, and the talent of the commander will not be reflected, and if you say it in the future, whether it is the credit for dealing with Li Congjing or recruiting Liang Zishan, it is the record of the reinforcements. Reinforcements didn't come, and I didn't do anything with 500 volunteers. The commander made this trip, worked hard, but he may not be able to share a bowl of soup. ”
At this time, Li Huan's face was really unsightly.
The adjutant general added: "If the Hundred Battles Army really has reinforcements, the situation we are facing is not optimistic, and if the army does not break through the blockade line of the Hundred Battles Army, our situation will be critical." Even if there are no reinforcements for the Hundred Battles Army, the credit of this Liang Zishan will not reach the hands of the commander! ”
Li Huan's eyes flickered, he slapped the railing half-loudly, gritted his teeth and said: "The reason why this envoy has waited until now is just waiting for the opportunity." Now, you give me to contact Sun Baigong and ask him to come down the mountain, I want him to start an incident tonight. When Li Congjing wakes up tomorrow, Liang Zishan is already in my Li Huan's bag, whether he is dead or alive depends on the mood of the envoy! ”
The adjutant general immediately became excited, and hurriedly said: "The commander is wise, and his subordinates will do it!" ”
An hour later, Sun Baigong entered Li Huan's big tent.
"What's the situation on the mountain?" Li Huan is as steady as Mount Tai behind the desk.
"General rest assured, everything is under my control, and there is no mistake!" Sun Baigong nodded, "The commander called me, isn't it going to act?" ”
Li Huan was noncommittal, and said slowly: "Where is Chen Zhiyuan?" ”
"Since dark, in his little building, my people have been staring at him!" Sun Baigongdao.
Li Huan asked again: "If the envoy sends someone up the mountain tonight, can you guarantee that the envoy's people can arrive at Chen Zhiyuan's residence smoothly?" ”
"This self-...... Nature! Sun Baigong hurriedly said, "If the general takes people up the mountain, tonight will be Chen Zhiyuan's death, and the two hundred people up and down Liangzi Mountain will all be under Li Huan's command!" ”
"Good!" Li Huan stood up, "My army is coming tonight, and this envoy, as the vanguard, naturally wants to take over Liangzishan first." The envoy didn't wait for you to trap Chen Zhiyuan, it would be too troublesome and easy to change. Quickly cut through the mess, the envoy decided to personally lead people up the mountain, smash Huanglong, and take down Chen Zhiyuan. When Chen Zhiyuan dies, there will be a deterrent envoy, you will raise your arms again, up and down Liangzi Mountain, there is no other choice but to accept Zhao'an! ”
"General, Heroic Name, Heroic Name!" Sun Baigong wiped the sweat from his forehead and complimented.
"You go and arrange first, replace the sentry posts with your people, and make sure that after the envoy army goes up the mountain, it can go straight to Chen Zhiyuan's residence unimpeded!" Li Huan waved his hand.
"Yes, yes!"
At that moment, Li Huan asked Sun Baigong to prepare, and he quietly gathered more than 100 people and gathered secretly.
About half an hour later, the signal came from the mountain, and Li Huan, who was already ready to go, immediately led people up the mountain.
When he arrived at the gate of the cottage, Sun Baigong was standing on the platform of the gate, waving to Li Huan.
Li Huan licked his lips, pulled out his horizontal knife, and led people to rush into the gate.
