Chapter 411: It's too ruthless
"Huai Qingxian's nephew, you are too godly! It's amazing! Rushing into Yang Zheng's bedroom with no elder demeanor, and even more without the demeanor of an elder dragged Yang Zheng up from the gums, before Yang Zhengbai, who had just fallen asleep or dizzy, what happened, Qiao Rui couldn't wait to shake Yang Zheng and said, "Virtuous nephew!" Huai Qingxian's nephew! You are too godly, too capable, too clever! Guess what? What happened?! ”
"What happened?" Yang Zheng was sleepy and rubbing his dry eyes and was still a little confused, and after finally coming back to his senses, Yang Zheng glanced at the letter in Qiao Rui's hand, and said with a smile: "The reason why Uncle Qiao is so excited must be this letter in his hand, right?" Liu Qi's letter can't make his uncle so happy, Zhang Yun and the Cai family brothers have no friendship with their uncle, if the little nephew didn't guess wrong, this letter should be written by Yuan Yin or Liu Xun to his uncle, and the letter told his uncle a great good news, so the uncle who is familiar with Yuan Yin and Liu Xun is so excited. ”
"Sure smart!" Yang Zheng, who was thin from being slapped hard by Qiao Rui, almost fell back on the bed, and then Qiao Rui couldn't wait to ask: "Virtuous nephew, then guess again, what good news did Yuan Yin and Liu Xun write on this letter?" ”
"What good news did Yuan Yin and Liu Xun write?" Yang Zheng really couldn't guess this time, and wondered: "What good news will Yuan Yin and Liu Xun write?" It stands to reason that even if the little nephew's discord plan is successful, Yuan Yin and Liu Xun will at most immediately withdraw to Nanchang and Haidu, and shouldn't they write back to our army to tell the news? It was agreed with our army to join forces to flank the Jingzhou army. Do they have the guts? Even if they have the guts, the strength of our army in Chaisan City is not enough? ”
"The all-powerful Huai Qingxian nephew finally has a time when he can't guess!" Qiao Rui laughed happily, then lowered her voice, and said in Yang Zheng's ear with a smile on her face: "After Yuan Yin and Liu Xun fell into the divisive plan of your nephew, they mistakenly thought that Liu Qi was going to attack their old nest Nanchang City from the waterway, so they decided to sue us for peace, and by the way, there was a thief to capture the king, and they were ready to trick Liu Qi into their camp at noon tomorrow and kill them, and agreed to take ignition. As long as they succeed. Just set fire in the camp and sent troops, and we also sent troops in Chaisang City to join forces to flank the Jingzhou thief army, and the Jingzhou thief army will be leaderless. Bound to fail! ”
"What? Do Yuan Yin and Liu Xun really have the guts?! ”
Yang Zheng was really taken aback this time. Quickly jumped out of bed. asked Qiao Rui for a letter to watch, and Qiao Rui, who was in a good mood, hurriedly handed the letter to Yang Zheng, and praised Yang Zheng at the same time. While inquiring around the bush, Yang Changshi had already set up a family affair for Yang Zheng, and was ready to take the first step to get Yang Zheng, who was basically destined to become an important minister in Xuzhou, to his own family as a relative, but Yang Zheng looked at the letter more and more wrong, and there was a worried look on his thin face. Could it be that this is a trick by the enemy to lure the enemy? ”
"It's unlikely to lure the enemy." Yang Zheng shook his head and analyzed: "If Yuan Yin and Liu Xun plan to lure us out of the city and take the opportunity to attack the city, then they should set the time for the attack at night, only in this way can they cover their troop movement by night, or ambush our team out of the city, or take the opportunity to attack Chaisang City, or even send troops disguised as our team to blend into the city, but Liu Xun and Yuan Yin set the time for the attack during the day, which is enough to prove that they are not cheating." Even if we use fraud, we can easily deal with it. Therefore, the little nephew thinks that Yuan Yin and Liu Xun should be true to ask for peace this time. ”
"Then nephew, why do you look worried?" Qiao Rui asked suspiciously.
"The little nephew is worried about Yuan Yin and Liu Xun." Yang Zheng groaned: "The little nephew has been dealing with Liu Qi for a short time, but the little nephew can see that Liu Qi is definitely a very cautious and careful person, and he is also a very delicate and suspicious person, Yuan Yin and Liu Xun want to lure him into the camp to kill him, I'm afraid it's not so easy, things are a little wrong, and if you don't do it, you will be killed by Liu Qi in turn." ”
"What then? Did I write a letter to Yuan Yin and Liu Xun to remind them to be careful? Qiao Rui hurriedly asked.
"The little nephew thinks that there is no need for this, and they should be let go." Yang Zheng replied: "Because whether Liu Qi killed Yuan Yin Liu Xun, or Yuan Yin Liu Xun killed Liu Qi, it will be beneficial and harmless to our army, and we have finally provoked a fight between the two tigers, so we should sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, instead of stopping the two tigers from competing for food." ”
Speaking of this, Yang Zheng peeked at Qiao Rui's expression, and hurriedly added: "Of course, if Uncle Qiao has a deep friendship with Yuan Yin and Liu Xun and is worried about their safety, he can also go to the book to warn or simply stop it, and the little nephew has no opinion." ”
"Don't worry, my uncle only has a nodding friendship with Yuan Yin and Liu Xun." Qiao Rui smiled and said: "Back then, because Yuan Shu broke his promise and refused to appoint Sun Ce as the Taishou of Lujiang, I also had some conflicts with Liu Xun. But forget it, these are all things in the past, now that my uncle has surrendered to the lord, and he has received the grace of the lord's life, he should give priority to the interests of the lord, since you don't think you need to stop it, then we don't need to be this good person. ”
"Uncle has a clear distinction between public and private, and the little nephew admires it." Yang Zheng flattered, and after thinking about it for a long time, Yang Zheng said to Qiao Rui: "Uncle, the little nephew wants to ask you for something, please arrange a few cavalrymen, let them wear the clothes of the Jingzhou army, and wait in the south gate at noon tomorrow." ”
"No problem, how many people? Is ten enough? Qiao Rui agreed, and asked curiously: "Virtuous nephew, what do you want these people to do?" ”
"I haven't thought about how to use my little nephew yet, but it will definitely be useful when the time comes, so it's best to be prepared first." Yang Zheng replied: "Also, it doesn't take ten people, five or six are enough." Qiao Rui agreed, immediately sent the guards out to make arrangements, and discussed with Yang Zheng how to deal with the enemy's chaos until the sky was light, and then they rested.
………………
When Yang Zheng and Qiao Rui were each seizing time to rest, Liu Qi finally received the news that the Jingzhou Navy Division had sent troops to the south of Poyang Lake last night, and the news was sent by Zhang Yun on his own initiative, saying that the scout ship had reported that an unknown fleet had been found in the southern part of Poyang Lake, and he was cautious. Cai Zhong was sent to lead a naval division to leave the port and go south overnight to reconnoiter and search for the enemy's situation in the southern part of Poyang Lake, and to prevent the enemy's naval division from lurking in the southern part of Poyang Lake to set up an ambush.
In this regard, although Liu Qi was slightly dissatisfied with Zhang Yun and the others' unauthorized actions, he could not blame Zhang Yun and Cai Brothers' behavior for this kind of behavior, because Zhang Yun and others were the correct countermeasures after discovering the enemy's situation, and at the same time, Cai Zhong brought out not many sailor fleets, only about 400 large and small warships, which did not account for one-tenth of the number of ships of the Jingzhou Navy. Liu Qi also wants to take the opportunity to seize the cause of trouble. Not only were the generals of Jingzhou definitely not convinced, but Liu Qi himself was also a little embarrassed, so Liu Qi didn't take this matter to heart, and ordered Zhang Yun to keep close contact with Cai Zhong and closely inspect the southern part of Poyang Lake. Didn't even think about the impact on the allies.
Of course. Except for some dissatisfaction. Liu Qi also has expectations, looking forward to the appearance of the Xuzhou Sailor team in the south of Poyang Lake, because as long as the Jingzhou Sailor can kill the main force of the Xuzhou Sailor in the favorable season of winter. So no matter how strong Chaisang City is, it has become a completely isolated city, and there is no need to attack it when the time comes, just consumption can exhaust the Chaisang defenders!
Just when Liu Qi held this hope, Liu Xun's envoy came to the Jingzhou camp, saying that he wanted to invite Liu Qi to a camp banquet at noon, and by the way, he discussed the military affairs of how to quickly take down Chaisang, Liu Qi wanted to agree when he heard this, but he was suspicious halfway through, and hurriedly asked Liu Xun's envoy: "Since General Liu has a major military matter to negotiate with me, why doesn't he come to my camp?" Do you want me to go over to the feast? ”
"Son, that's what the general said." Liu Xun's envoy replied respectfully: "Gongzi sent troops to Jiangdong, to avenge our old lord, but also to defend our new lord against the Xuzhou thief army, to fight chivalrous righteousness, and to help the poor, but our team didn't even have a chance to invite Gongzi to have a drink, so the general took advantage of today's nothing, so he prepared to set up a grand banquet in the barracks, invited Gongzi to have a camp banquet, chatted with thanks, and discussed with Gongzi how to use up this Chaisang City by the way. ”
"I see." Liu Qi nodded, and asked again, "What about General Yuan Yin?" General Liu, did he invite General Yuan? ”
"Of course, please." Liu Xun's envoy hurriedly replied: "Our general actually decided to invite Gongzi to a banquet after discussing with General Yuan, so General Yuan will definitely be present at that time, and he will definitely arrive earlier than Gongzi." ”
Because Yuan Yin's nephew and Yuan Yao's son is currently a hostage in Xiangyang, Liu Qi still has some trust in Yuan Yin, and heard that Yuan Yin, who has always been at odds with Liu Xun, was also present, so Liu Qi was no longer suspicious, and immediately nodded and agreed to rush to Liu Xun's camp for a banquet before noon. Liu Xun's envoy was overjoyed, and hurriedly said goodbye and left. As soon as Liu Xun's envoy left, Liu Qi's confidant and uncle Kuai Yue immediately came to Liu Qi and objected: "Son, you should refuse Liu Xun's invitation, although Liu Xun is allied with our army, but the hearts of the people are separated from the belly, you should still be careful." ”
"It's okay, I'll be careful." Liu Qi replied: "At that time, I will let Han Xi lead five hundred ironclad soldiers with me, and uncle, you will stay in the camp, which is enough to prevent accidents." ”
"Just bring Han Xi, I'm afraid it's not enough." Kuai Yue was still a little worried, and wanted to suggest that Liu Qi let Gan Ning go with him, but considering that Gan Ning was not very reliable now, Kuai Yue quickly remembered a reliable candidate after a little calculation, and hurriedly said: "Childe, let Huang Zhong also go with you, let him and Han Xi never leave your side at any time, he has the courage of ten thousand people, even if there is a change, it is enough to deal with the emergency." ”
When Liu Qi heard the great joy, he hurriedly sent Huang Zhong to arrange the task, and when the time came, Liu Qi temporarily handed over the camp to Kuai Yue and Deng Yi to guard, led Huang Zhong, Han Xi and five hundred iron armor soldiers out of the camp, and rushed to Liu Xun's camp ten miles to the south to attend the banquet. The Xuzhou scouts, who were closely monitoring the movements of the main camp in Jingzhou, found that this well-equipped Jingzhou team with a large number of war horses left the camp and went south, and immediately flew to the city of Chaisang, Qiao Rui and Yang Zheng also hurriedly boarded the south gate tower and waited for news at the nearest place.
Noon is approaching, Liu Qi's team successfully arrived at Liu Xun's camp, Liu Xun and Yuan Yin, who received the news, greeted the camp gate together, and saluted Liu Qi with a fist, Liu Qi saw that Yuan Yin was really at the scene, Yuan Yaojun also blew the trumpet and rang the bell to welcome him, and he was also happy in his heart, and he hurriedly dismounted and returned the salute, and Liu Xun and Yuan Yin were polite for a while. Only then did he lead the team into Liu Xun's camp, and went all the way to the Chinese army camp of Liu Xun's team.
During this period, Liu Qi talked and laughed with Liu Xun and Yuan Yin, but Huang Zhong and Han Xi, who were experienced in fighting, found that the situation was wrong, because in addition to Liu Xunjun's soldiers standing in line to greet Liu Xunjun on both sides of the road, there were no idle soldiers walking back and forth in Liu Xunjun's camp in the distance - in broad daylight, this was not a very abnormal phenomenon. At the same time, Huang Zhong and Han Xi also found that although Liu Xun and Yuan Yin's expressions were quite normal, most of their guards looked a little nervous, and many people were still secretly looking at Liu Qi's guards behind them.
Then. Liu Qi, Yuan Yin, Liu Xun and others had already walked to the door of the Chinese military camp and were ready to enter the camp. Huang Zhong and Han Xi, who were vaguely aware of the problem, were about to step forward to stop them, but Liu Qi grabbed Liu Xun's right hand with his left hand first, and said with a smile: "General Liu, have you heard the story of the Hongmen Banquet?" Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng. Did you kill my ancestor Han Gaozu Liu Bang? ”
"Childe. What does this mean? ”
Liu Xun's shocked words were not finished. His face had already changed greatly, because Liu Qi had already had an extra dagger in his right hand at some point, and it was on his neck at once. Then Liu Qi hurriedly retreated away from Yuan Yin, and yelled: "Up, take down Yuan Yin!" ”
"No!" Han Xi and Huang Zhong drank together, and also pounced on Yuan Yin together, when Yuan Yin hurriedly went to pull the sword, Huang Zhong was quick but had already grabbed his right hand, struggled to snatch the sword, and then strangled Yuan Yin's neck with his left hand, and also took Yuan Yin down, and then Huang Zhong smiled and said: "Eldest prince, I really didn't expect that you would have seen the flaw a long time ago!" ”
"Of course." Liu Qi smiled proudly: "In broad daylight, the tents on both sides are closed, how can this be normal?" My teacher said that no matter how intimate the relationship is, it is ...... for anyone Yes! ”
Liu Qi suddenly let out a miserable scream, because when he was proud, Liu Xun, who was holding his neck with a dagger, took advantage of his distraction, suddenly raised his arm and knocked his dagger away, and then stomped on Liu Qi's instep, making Liu Qi scream and send his hand, and then a lazy donkey rolled on the spot, and rolled in front of his guard, when the guard hurriedly protected Liu Xun, Liu Xun had already yelled before he could get up, "Do it, don't leave one!" ”
The gong sounded fiercely, Liu Xun's camp was immediately completely chaotic, the soldiers of Liu Xunjun on both sides of the road took out their weapons and rushed to Liu Qi's team, and the soldiers of Liu Xunjun hidden in the military tent also rushed out, and the tide generally poured into Liu Qi's team, Han Xi and Huang Zhong hurriedly commanded the ironclad team to protect Liu Qi in the middle, while fighting with Liu Xun's soldiers, and retreating to the camp gate to break through, while sending people to kill Liu Xun's camp first to report to Kuai Yue, Liu Xun commanded the army to encircle and suppress Liu Qi's team, On the other hand, he ordered people to light the pyre hidden in the camp and sent a signal to ask for help from the Chaisan defenders.
When the front camp of Liu Xun's army was in chaos and the sound of killing shook the sky, the smoke quickly rose into the air, and the wolf smoke from the five huge pyres rushed straight into the sky, ten miles can be seen, Qiao Rui and Yang Zheng saw it on the south gate of Chaisang City, and immediately they were also overjoyed, and then Sun Gao, the general of the Qiao Rui Department, who had already been ready to send troops, also immediately led three thousand troops out of the city from the south gate, and intercepted it in the middle of the road between the Jingzhou camp and Liu Xun's camp. When leaving the city, Yang Zheng also quickly explained to Sun Gao: "General Sun, remember two things, first, before the order, only the Jingzhou team is allowed to be intercepted, and the enemy camp is not allowed!" Second, if the Jingzhou army sends troops to rescue Liu Qi, confirms the identity of the enemy general, and immediately sends someone back to report to me, I will be of great use! ”
Qiao Rui added: "Sun Gao, Huai Qingxian's nephew's words are my orders, and there must be no mistakes!" Also, if you find that the situation is not right, go back to the city immediately, and would rather miss the opportunity than take risks! Sun Gao sang a promise, and then led the army to leave the city, Qiao Rui and Yang Zheng continued to stay on the city wall to observe the movement in the distance, closed the four gates and guarded tightly, not daring to take the slightest risk, and at the same time sent a large number of scouts to reconnoiter the enemy's movements.
It's hard to say two words with one mouth, and at the same time, the well-prepared Yuan Yin's camp has already moved, Yuan Yin's son Yuan Neng left Shu Shao and others to guard the camp, and led 5,000 troops to rush to Liu Xun's camp; At the same time, Liu Xunjun relied on the strength of the crowd, and also surrounded Liu Qi's team, Huang Zhong and Han Xi's guards protected Liu Qi and struggled to break through, the two armies shouted to kill the heavens, slashed each other inextricably, and the battle was extremely fierce. It was also at this time that Liu Qi, who had stabilized his mind, remembered to use Yuan Yin as a hostage, grabbed Yuan Yin's hair, and roared: "Tell the army to lift the siege, otherwise I want you to die a miserable death!" ”
"Eldest son, this is Liu Xun's military camp, does anyone listen to my words?" Yuan Yin, who was unlucky enough to be captured, was also quite calm, and said with a wry smile: "Liu Xun, he may wish that you would cut me with one sword, and then take over my army." ”
"Woooo Before the words fell, a large number of feather arrows had fallen from the sky, it turned out that Liu Xun really refused to pay attention to Yuan Yin's life or death, and ordered the archers to throw arrows at Liu Qi's team, although Liu Qi's guards were all ironclad soldiers with strong anti-shooting ability, Liu Qi and Yuan Yin still scolded together, and then Yuan Yin quickly said to Liu Qi: "Childe, take me out of the camp and retreat in the direction of my camp, my son Yuan Neng is leading the army to come to respond, I asked him to protect you." ”
Liu Qi didn't think much about it, and immediately shouted: "Break through the siege with all your strength and retreat in the direction of Yuan Yin's camp in the west!" ”
After another period of time, the Jingzhou camp finally discovered that the situation in the south was wrong, and after seeing five puffs of wolf smoke rising from Liu Xun's camp, the scout flew to report to the Jingzhou camp, and Kuai Yue and Deng Yi and others who stayed in the camp were shocked, and quickly ordered to blow the trumpet and raise the tent, and gathered the generals to gather troops to rush to Liu Xun's camp to rescue. Coincidentally, after hearing the sound of the horn, the former Liu Qiai was the first to rush into the big tent to obey the order, in order to buy time for Liu Qi, Kuai Yue couldn't think too much, and immediately handed over the Fu Jie to Gan Ning, yelling: "Go to Liu Xunda immediately to rescue Gongzi, and take all the troops you can bring!" ”
Gan Ning also knew that the situation was critical, so he immediately ran out of the big tent with the talisman in hand, yelled and ordered all the soldiers he met on the way to go out of the camp with him, and ran all the way to the front of the camp gate before assembling the whole team, and only organized about 2,000 troops, Gan Ning immediately led the army straight to Liu Xun's camp in the south. The Xuzhou scouts, who were closely monitoring the movements of the Jingzhou camp, saw Gan Ning, who was hated by Qiao Rui and Yang Zheng, and immediately rushed back to the south gate of Chaisang to report the news, and as a result, Yang Zheng immediately laughed wildly, "God help me!" God help me! ”
"Virtuous nephew, what is heaven's help for you?" Qiao Rui next to him hurriedly asked.
"Of course it's about killing Gan Ning!"
Yang Zheng laughed wildly, and then asked Li Lang to quickly call the five cavalry prepared by Qiao Rui for himself, the cavalry dressed as Jingzhou soldiers, and quickly ordered them: "You five, immediately go out of the city and disperse to guard outside the gates of the camps in Jingzhou, and when you find that the Jingzhou army is sending troops to the south, you will immediately meet it and shout the order, it is General Gan Ning who ordered you to pass the order!" The eldest prince Liu Qi had already fled to the direction of Poyang Lake, and the enemy was in hot pursuit, so they immediately rushed to the southeast to rescue! Leave as soon as you finish shouting, it doesn't matter if they believe it or not, but you must shout clearly! Be sure to emphasize that it was Gan Ning's order! ”
"No!" Five Xuzhou cavalrymen dressed as Jingzhou cavalry agreed, and immediately rushed down the city wall to carry out the task, Qiao Rui's wild laughter voice also echoed on the Chaisang city wall at once, laughing more evil and lewd than Yang Zheng, and then Qiao Rui grabbed Yang Zheng and laughed wildly: "Virtuous nephew, high!" You're just too tall! It's too ruthless! Huai Qingxian's nephew, it's decided, my daughter will be handed over to you, and when you go back, you will tell your father to ask him to send a matchmaker to propose marriage! ”
"Uncle Qiao, your daughter is only twelve years old, okay? Too early, right? Yang Zheng said with a wry smile.
"It's okay, set the good things first, when you get married can be said slowly, if your uncle doesn't hurry up and book your good son-in-law, there will be more people to rob in the future!" (To be continued......)
