Among the four teams of the Sui army attacking the Central Plains, Pei Xingyan and Luo Shixin are undoubtedly the main force, and the task of the 10,000 army led by Li Jing seems to be the simplest, to seize Dongjun and eliminate the old nest of the Wagang army, but in fact this task is not simple, Wang Shichong will inevitably send troops to seize Dongjun, which will be a flank confrontation between the two Sui Dynasty armies.

How to fight without breaking requires the wisdom and combat ability of the main general, and it is for this reason that Zhang Xuan chose Li Jing to attack Dongjun.

Li Jing crossed the Yellow River from Ji County, and 10,000 troops were stationed in Baima County, a county not far from the Yellow River.

In the big tent, Li Jing was replying to the boss Zhang Xuan, just an hour ago, he received a quick letter from the boss from Jiyin County, Zhang Xuan asked him in the letter to be sure to annihilate Yang Qing's army, Li Jing of course also knew that Yang Qing was the culprit of Zhang Xutuo's death, and the boss had always hated him to the core, and would never spare him again.

At this time, the young general Qin Yong appeared at the door of the tent, bowed and saluted: "General, someone from Wagang Mountain sent a letter and said that you know. ”

Li Jing thought about it for a while, and then he understood that this must be someone sent by Cheng Yanjin to deliver a letter.

"Let him in!"

Li Jing only learned before the expedition that the left-behind general of Wagangzhai was actually Cheng Yanjin, which was really unexpected by Li Jing, when he was on the grassland, Li Jing and Cheng Yanjin had dealings, and knew that he was Zhang Xuan's buddy, a very cunning person, with this person in Wagang, Li Jing's methods to deal with Yang Qing have increased significantly, and he can choose a method that is most beneficial to himself.

After a while, a young man who looked like a farmer entered, he knelt down on one knee and saluted, "Scout Captain Li Zhou of the Third Battalion See General Li." ”

Li Jing was stunned, how could it be his own person, he hurriedly asked, "Are you from Wagangzhai?" ”

"Exactly! The humble position is the choice of the marshal, let's follow General Cheng to Wagangzhai. ”

Li Jing was overjoyed, "Then how many of you are there?" ”

"There are fifty people in total, and now they are pretending to be General Cheng's personal guards, and General Cheng asked the humble official to come over and contact him to see what General Li needs him to do? If there was no direct request, he dedicated the village to the general. ”

Li Jing thought about it, he did have a plan, but it was not very mature, he picked up the pen and was about to write a letter to Cheng Yanjin, Li Zhou smiled bitterly, "General Cheng is illiterate, the general should tell me directly!" ”

"Are you literate, then?"

"Literate and literate."

"That's it, you tell him the contents of the letter, there are some things that you can't say clearly."

Li Jing picked up the pen and wrote a letter to Cheng Yanjin, and he asked as he wrote: "How is General Cheng doing in Wagang, he should be very shrewd and capable!" ”

Li Zhou smiled bitterly again, "He is indeed very shrewd and capable, but he is not the shrewd and capable that the general imagined." ”

Li Jing was a little interested, he hadn't seen Cheng Biting Jin for many years, but he didn't know what he had become, so Li Jing stopped writing and asked, "Then what kind of shrewd and capable person is he?" ”

"The general doesn't know, this General Cheng is a well-known 'three unique generals' in the Wagang Army, some people call him 'three no generals', the so-called three no's is 'good gambling without taste, good wine is immeasurable, lustful and courageless', I heard that there is going to be a war, he escaped faster than anyone else, if there is a benefit, he must be the first to rush up, he has never seen him suffer in the past two years, if someone else invites a drink, he is full of interest, he can drink until the next morning is not drunk, if it is his turn to entertain, a bowl of wine will be drunk like mud, how can not wake up."

Li Jing couldn't help but laugh dumbly, sure enough, as before, this kind of treacherous person just dealt with Yang Qing, he quickly finished writing the letter, handed him to Li Zhou, and said with a smile: "I just told General Cheng the result I wanted to achieve, and the specific way to do it was up to General Cheng himself." ”

"Don't worry, general! He will not disappoint the general. ”

After following Cheng Biting Jin for a few years, even Li Zhou believes that the world is so big, and there are really few people who are better than Cheng Biting Jin

Since an inexplicable fire burned down the grain depot in Wagangzhai, Cheng Yanjin was promoted by Zhai Rang to the chief general of Wagangzhai for his meritorious service in fighting the fire, and was named the general of Zhongjie, commending his loyalty and courage, and leading 5,000 troops to garrison Wagangzhai.

It's a pity that this General Cheng is neither loyal and brave, nor has any integrity, he has nothing to do in Wagangzhai, gathers people to gamble all day long, drinks wine and eats meat, some people really can't stand it, and runs to Zhai Rang to sue him, but Zhai Rang thinks that this is a small section, his subordinates basically have a problem of good wine and gambling, as long as they can hold Wagang, these little things don't have to be taken care of.

It was under Zhai Rang's ignorance and indulgence that Cheng Yanjin became even more unscrupulous, gambling and drinking all night long in Wagangzhai, and lived a happier life than a fairy.

But the good days are finally over, the war in Dongjun is coming, Cheng Yanjin has not drunk for a whole day, let alone gambling, and has been sitting on a big rock on the top of the mountain in a daze since noon.

Li Zhou brought him the news of Li Jing, the task was to completely annihilate Yang Qing's 20,000 troops, and asked him to complete the Wagang army independently, which had nothing to do with the Sui army, so that Cheng Yanjin felt that he had seen a big-headed ghost, how could this be done?

"General, if you really can't do it, tell General Li that we don't have to take risks." Li Zhou couldn't help but persuade.

", I can't do that!"

Cheng Biting Jin's cunning little eyes were rolling rapidly, he had already thought of a brilliant plan, and he asked, "Lao Li, if I ask my good brother for sin, what kind of etiquette do I usually use?" ”

Li Zhou scratched his head, "In this case, the ancients had a saying that they were guilty. ”

Li Zhou knew that he didn't understand, so he simply told him, "Shirtless, carrying a bunch of thorns, indicating that you have done something wrong, and apologize to the other party very sincerely, but you can't use the occasion indiscriminately, you will be laughed at." ”

"I remember!"

Cheng Yanjin nodded, and said with a smile: "Lao Li! Do you know what is the biggest problem with Yang Qing? ”

Li Zhou shook his head, "I don't know if I am humble!" ”

"Let me tell you, Yang Qing's biggest problem is greed for money, how much money he made from the Wagang army with old rice and rotten grain, he is just not satisfied, this time Lao Tzu estimates that he took the initiative to invite Ying to attack Wagang, the fundamental purpose is still for money, I will satisfy him again, so that he will never forget it for the rest of his life."

After speaking, Cheng Yanjin beckoned to Li Zhou and whispered in his ear: "You go to the general Li who was born in medicine, and ask him to do this!" ”

Li Zhou grinned, such a way to damage is estimated to be only possible for this bastard Cheng Biting Jin.

"General, let's go here, besides, isn't General Li from the Li clan of Zhao County? How could it be that he was born to sell medicine? ”

"He must have been born in medicine sales, his nickname is what pharmacist, I guess he used to specialize in making medicine for people."

Li Zhou covered his mouth and ran away, running away before laughing

Cheng Yanjin is worthy of being Yang Qing's confidant, Yang Qing this time regardless of his age, insisted on asking Ying to lead 20,000 troops to fight in Wagang Village, it is indeed for money, Yang Qing has been dealing with the Wagang Army since the seventh year of the Great Cause, and he is more familiar with the Wagang Army than ordinary Wagang generals.

Zhai Rang crisscrossed Henan, robbed merchant ships in the Yellow River, I don't know how much money and treasures he saved, the money is estimated to be used for military expenses, but the treasures will not, Yang Qing knows that according to the rules of the Wagang army, the money is confiscated, and the jewelry is owned by the king, and the generals are rewarded by the marshal, but Zhai Rang has never rewarded the generals with any treasures.

Yang Qing once proposed to Zhai Rang to exchange treasures for food, but was rejected by Zhai Rang, only Zhai Rang's three ladies each have two large boxes of jewelry, Yang Qing has seen Zhai Rang's wife have a pigeon-egg-sized night pearl, inlaid on the hair crown, priceless, Yang Qing's eyes are red, at present they all live in Wagangzhai, not in Liang County, Yang Qing believes that Zhai Rang's wealth must still be in Wagangzhai.

Yang Qing was afraid that the Northern Sui army would seize the Wagang army first, he led 20,000 troops to march day and night to Wagang Mountain, but Yang Qing was lucky, his scouts reported that the Northern Sui army had a problem with food, and had been stationed in Baima County after crossing the Yellow River, and did not go to Wagang Mountain, which made Yang Qing breathe a long sigh of relief, and this afternoon, Yang Qing led 20,000 troops to arrive at the foot of Wagang Mountain.

He has been stationed here for more than a year, and he is very familiar with every grass and tree here, and when he returns to his hometown, Yang Qing actually has a feeling that time has been shortened, as if the past has just happened yesterday.

Yang Qing didn't want to fight, especially the master of Wagangzhai would be the bastard who got the famous 'Three Absolute Generals' Cheng Biting Jin, fighting with him was simply self-defeating, Yang Qing sent someone up the mountain to deliver a letter, asking Cheng Biting Jin to surrender immediately, otherwise the army would attack the mountain and kill all of them.

An hour later, the soldiers sent a letter down the mountain to report, "Your Highness, General Cheng is willing to surrender to His Highness, he has only one request, his soldiers are unwilling to go to Luoyang, begging the old general to let his soldiers go back to the countryside to farm." ”

"Don't want to go to Luoyang?"

Yang Qing asked, "Did you see that?" ”

The messenger nodded, "He asked the soldiers around him, these soldiers all wanted to go home, and they saw it with their own eyes." ”

Yang Qing laughed and said to the generals around him: "I didn't expect that this three-absolute general is actually quite righteous, it's rare!" ”

Everyone laughed, and Yang Qing nodded and said: "I promised his conditions, each person will send five buckets of rice back to their hometown, and I will never break my promise!" ”
