Chapter 287: Meritorious Service (II)
Cui Meng and his troops did not retreat to Shibao, but went towards the central county. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Qi Liren asked Chai Yanping very puzzled: "Do you say that this guy is crazy, he didn't flee south, why did he just throw himself into the net and go to the central county town?" What the hell was he thinking? Chai Yanping suddenly remembered a very important thing at this time: he had never seen Xie Sichun himself. He then asked, "Have you seen Xie Sichun?" ”
The bald beggar thought for a moment, and then said honestly: "I met once when I was in the Central County. They never saw each other again. Chai Yanping patted the horse's ass and said anxiously: "It's over, I've fallen for their plan to divert the tiger from the mountain." Qi Liren still felt a little foggy, and he asked puzzledly: "Who transferred the tiger away from the mountain?" But Chai Yanping had already loudly urged the soldiers to catch up.
When the army came to the city, Chai Yanping saw that the city gate was closed, but the city tower was empty. At this time, the bald beggar Liren also rushed to the horse, only to see him shouting loudly at the city tower: "Open the city gate, we are back." As soon as the words fell, I saw that a lot of archers suddenly appeared in the city tower, and the banner on the city tower was replaced by the banner of Yuwen Hu. Xie Sichun and Cui Meng stood on the city tower, especially Xie Sichun looked at the two people in the city with a smile.
The bald beggar Liren now knows what Chai Yanping meant by turning the tiger away from the mountain just now. It turned out that Xie Sichun led a troop to follow Cui Meng to Xian Jiazhuang, and they discussed that when the bald beggar Liren went out of the city to support Chai Yanping, Xie Sichun would lead people to take the central county. However, this bald beggar Liren had no heart, and went to Xian Jiazhuang with a large number of living forces, and the city was full of some old, weak, sick and disabled, Xie Sichun easily took the central county with almost no effort.
At this moment, the two of them stood on the city tower, looking at the bald beggar Liren and Chai Yanping with an annoyed face under the city tower with a smug face. He laughed and said to Chai Yanping under the city: "General Chai, we are still slightly better and have conceded." ”
Chai Yanping didn't speak, just patted the horse and led people away. The bald-haired beggar Liren was unwilling to point to the two Cuimen on the city tower and said loudly: "You use this kind of indiscriminate tricks, and you can't win." You wait for me, and sooner or later I will catch you and cut off the heads of the two of you. Cui Meng smiled and said nothing, Xie Sichun waved the feather fan in his hand and said, "Waiting for you at any time." The archers began to shoot arrows downward, and the beggar fled with the men in disarray.
He led his subordinates to catch up with Chai Yanping, and asked anxiously: "What should we do now, the city has lost its height, and the public will definitely be angry and reprimand the two of us." Chai Yanping said: "Don't worry, at this moment, we will also give them a place to transfer the tiger from the mountain, you come over with your ear, I will tell you." Chai Yanping told the bald beggar Liren about his plan, and finally said: "As long as you drag him out with your life, I will definitely be able to take the city back, believe me." The bald beggar nodded and said, "It's up to you now." ”
Chai Yanping then began to implement his plan, but he had to go to Xian Jiazhuang for help first. At present, his manpower is not enough to deal with his own plans. The first thing I did when I came to Zhuangzi was to visit my sweetheart, Xian Ying. At this moment, she was resting on the bed in the back room, and although her face was a little pale, fortunately, there was no other major problem. Chai Rong and Wang Tiedan have been guarding outside.
Chai Rong said: "The old lady said, as long as you come back, go to see him immediately." It seems that there is something important to tell you. Chai Yanping sighed, and then the housekeeper came over and asked him: "New aunt, the princess is invited." When I came to Mrs. Xian's study, I saw that the old man seemed to be a little older, sitting weakly on the Taishi's chair as if he was pondering something, and he didn't even notice that Chai Yanping had come in.
Chai Yanping saluted first: "Taigong, what are you looking for me?" Xian Taigong raised his head and saw Chai Yanping, his eyes flashed with hope, he excitedly stepped forward and grabbed his hand and said, "You are here, I have something important to discuss with you." Chai Yanping looked at the trembling appearance of his clothes, afraid that he would not be able to stand steadily, why did he become like this after not seeing him for a long time, and immediately said: "Don't sit down in a hurry and speak slowly." ”
Xian Taigong sat down and sighed and said: "My Xian family is now only left with the poor child Ying'er, originally I wanted to take her to a place where there is no smoke of war and a safe life, but now I look at it, where there is no war." Today in front of Zhuangzi you have a war, although the old man is also full of courage, but this war is going to die after all, although Ying'er is not injured but is not so lucky every time, the old man thought about it and decided to let A-Ying follow you home. This place is too dangerous, maybe it will be better in Lucheng. ”
It turned out that it was because of this matter, Chai Yanping knew in his heart, although he did not agree with Taigong's approach, but he could understand the feelings of an old man, his son, daughter-in-law and relatives all died in the war, and there was only one granddaughter left under his knees, and he naturally tried his best to protect his bloodline when he encountered danger. Besides, the old man has always been dedicated to the sake of the children, so he actually sympathizes with this old man in his heart.
But Chai Yanping still spoke: "Taigong, I understand your thoughts, I love A-Ying very much, and I don't want to see her get hurt, I can also send her back to Chai's house in Lucheng." But there's one thing I have to make clear to you. When Mrs. Xian heard him agree with his plan, he also smiled and said, "You say, what's the matter?" Chai Yanping continued: "As you said, if there is chaos all over the world today, I don't know when such a day will be the end, but since we live in such a troubled world, we can only live hard to be worthy of our ancestors and have a chance to survive."
As a man who stands up to the sky, a pillar of a country, and the future of a family. I think that only by sweeping away this troubled world and reuniting the world can we finally live a good life in peace and contentment. If everyone chooses to escape and dare not face it, the troubled times will not end by themselves. Listening to Chai Yanping's words, Mrs. Xian nodded with satisfaction, he felt that this grandson-in-law had chosen well. So he asked, "If you have anything you want me to do, just say it, and the old man will do his best." ”
So Chai Yanping told him that he wanted to borrow troops, and finally said: "In this case, I want to drive Xie Sichun and Cui Meng out of East Qinzhou, so that A-Ying no longer needs to go into battle to kill the enemy, and just live a safe life at home with her husband and children." I am very confident and hope that my grandfather can support me. Xian Taigong said: "It's not a big deal, but I have limited manpower here, and there are only about 200 people in total, and I have to leave some to defend Zhuangzi." ”
Chai Yanping said: "Xiang Yu and Zhang Han fought with fewer people and more people in the battle of Julu back then, didn't they also win?" Wisdom is not in the crowd. Taigong stood up all of a sudden and said proudly: "Okay, since this is the case, the old man will help you." "Let's let the housekeeper gather people and prepare for Chai Yanping to take away. The two came to the door one after the other, and at this time, Xian Ying, Wang Tiedan, and Chai Rong were also waiting outside the door.
Chai Yanping was a little unexpected, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "You should go back to the house to rest, don't come out again." Xian Ying said with a crimson face: "I will also go into battle with you to kill the enemy." That's how a distressed couple should be. Although she hasn't passed the door yet, she already regards herself as Chai Yanping's wife, which makes Chai Yanping very moved, what a woman. Taigong looked reluctant, but he still spoke: "In this case, the two of you will go on the road together, go early and return early, and the old man will prepare wine and food in the Zhuangzi and wait for you to return triumphantly!"
