When Xiao Buyi was planning, Wang Shichong was still planning in Yangzhou.

The five-way army looks beautiful, but there are actually only two new forces that can reinforce the eastern capital.

The tiger prison was too busy to take care of himself, sitting in the middle, and could only send surprise troops to help, Xiao Buyi borrowed chickens and eggs to go to the Eastern Capital, and did not move half of his own capital, but let Xu Shiji continue to expand his power and infiltrate Jiangnan. The eastern capital is in the center of the whirlpool, and it is easy not to dare to send troops, and only after Xiao Buyi can he have the confidence to let Duan Da attack Luokoucang, but the internal strife is serious, and there is a great danger in fighting for power and profit.

Among the five route armies, the only ones who can support with fresh forces are Xue Shixiong and Wang Shichong.

Although Wang Shichong has recently won the trust of Yang Guang, he is just a county guard, Xue Shixiong has been guarding Zhuo County, but as the general of the Left Imperial Guard, he is the head of the march of the soldiers and horses of the five roads this time.

The plan is far less fast than the change, and it is estimated that no one understands who the Fifth Route Army is that Yang Yichen said. When Wang Shichong received the holy decree to attack Wagang, his first feeling was not joy, but distress.

He is still in Jiangdu, this is still his foundation, and he already has a deep affection for Jiangdu.

The world is in turmoil, who is in charge? In fact, not many people consider this problem, after all, in this world, there may be many people who want to be emperors, but there are definitely not many people who dare to take action. More people are just waiting and seeing, accumulating capital, and only waiting for the division of power in the world to go to refuge in preparation for the promotion to the knighthood in the future.

Wang Shichong was the first to take action.

He is also very tolerant, he went from a self-proclaimed mongrel to Jiangdu County, and then from Jiangdu County to Jiangdu County, which is sad and hard for ordinary people to imagine, he has survived for more than ten years to have today's achievements, but after all, he succeeded and got the status that ordinary people expect.

But even if he is extremely loved by Yang Guang, he is only the county guard of Jiangdu, if you talk about the official rank, after all, it is still much worse than the general of Weifu, but the forces he controls are no worse than Xue Shixiong, and he is reluctant to leave Jiangdu. He worked hard for so many years, framed Zhang Heng, and won over the Chinese people in the counties near Jiangdu, hoping to base Jiangdu and enter the Central Plains when he was fighting for the world. In terms of layout, he is on the golden horn!

But he never thought that Yang Guang would arrive in Yangzhou.

Yang Guang's southward movement caused chaos in the world, and made various forces speed up the pace of fighting for the world, but it also disrupted Wang Shichong's overall plan, and a plan to attack Wagang made him cry and laugh.

Going to Dongdu meant that he was going to give up Jiangdu, and he didn't want to go. But he was helpless to stay in Jiangdu, Yang Guang's elite soldiers were all stationed in Jiangdu, he wanted to rebel, and the resistance increased unprecedentedly. But if you want to go to the Eastern Capital, it means starting over, not to mention that now Xue Shixiong is the leader, and Xiao Buyi is in charge of the Eastern Capital, these two people have a heavy army, and the other is that there are endless tricks and tricks, and he is not sure that he can defeat these two.

"Am I the life of a servant?" Wang Shichong muttered to himself in distress.

Wang Wei had been standing beside Wang Shichong, and when he saw Wang Shichong distressed, he cautiously asked, "Father-in-law, when will we send troops?" The saint had already sent people to inquire several times, but the child only said that he was still recruiting soldiers and preparing heavy food and grass. But this kind of prevarication has been repeated again and again, and I am afraid that the saint will be dissatisfied if I say too much! ”

"Can our Huainan soldiers gather?" Wang Shichong sighed.

Wang Wei nodded and said: "Father-in-law, all of our Huainan elite soldiers have gathered, if we don't rebel in Yangzhou, I suggest that they all be brought with you, but if you rebel and stand on your own, you can stay." ”

Wang Shichong waved his hand and said: "Rebellion is absolutely impossible, the Holy Lord went down to the south of the Yangtze River this time, and there are tens of thousands of Xiaoguo Army, these elite soldiers in Guanzhong, strong and strong, can be one as ten, no worse than our Huainan Army." If there is a rebellion, I am afraid that I will not be able to take the eastern capital even if I suffer heavy losses. Besides, although the prestige of the saint is not as good as in the past, there are still a group of die-hard people in the Great Sui, if we kill the saint and replace him, it goes without saying that we are enemies of the world, and it is really a strategy. ”

Although he is called a saint, this does not prevent him from wanting to kill Yang Guang, for Wang Shichong, if there is really a profit, you can call your father, if he calls your father, maybe he will stab you when he turns around.

"That Xuan Ying and Xuan Shu are all ready, and they can send troops at any time." Wang Wei said in a low voice: "Father-in-law, the rest of the people are also well-equipped, and those who can be trusted are basically listed among the troops. "Wang Xuanying and Wang Xuanshu are both sons of Wang Shichong, both are brave and good at fighting, Wang Shiying will take them with him, and he doesn't want to stay in Jiangdu. Intuitively, he thought that if he went to the Eastern Capital, he might not have a big surname.

"That's the best." Wang Shichong sighed again, and said in a deep voice: "If you delay it any longer, I'm afraid that the saint will doubt me, and I will find a Taoist to choose a zodiac auspicious person today, and I must go out of the army within three days." ”

Wang Wei frowned and said: "Father-in-law, the army is about to go out, and I am afraid that the sergeant will not like it." Besides, how can we succeed in the competition for the world, relying on our efforts and fists, and always relying on the prophecies of others? ”

Wang Shichong smiled and waved his hand: "My son, you still don't understand many things. The purpose of this divination was threefold, one of which was to make the bandits mistakenly think that I was pretending to be a ghost and despise me. I think that when I was divining, I said that Liu Yuanjin misunderstood that I sent troops, but the sneak attack was successful in one fell swoop, and the soldiers are not tired of cheating, you must remember it! ”

Wang Bian realized, "I see, father-in-law, if there is one, there must be two?" ”

Wang Shichong smiled and said: "Of course there will be dissatisfied soldiers, but you must know that there are many sentient beings, and there are mostly ignorant people. And this third point, even if the Holy One also believes in this, I want the Holy One to see that I am loyal to him, so even if I fail, it is not my fault! Anyway, there are a lot of benefits, so you can go and prepare quickly. ”

Wang Bian suddenly realized, "The father-in-law is clever and has far-reaching plans, and the child admires it, so he will prepare." ”

He walked out of the palace quickly, Wang Shichong sat on the chair, and when he heard the sycophants of Yizi, he didn't have much complacency. Looking out the window, Wang Shichong showed a look of resentment in his eyes, and muttered: "If you go to the Eastern Capital, Xue Shixiong and Xiao Buyi are my great enemies, and the Fifth Route Army will attack Wagang, presumably even if Wagang has the ability to reach the sky, I am afraid that it will be defeated." If Wagang is defeated, who will enter the Eastern Capital? Xue Shixiong is old and not afraid, how should this Xiao Buyi be dealt with? ”

**

Wang Shichong chose Huang Daoji to go out of the army, and the line was mighty, divided into the front army, the middle army, and the rear army to march north. The Huainan Army under his command had 20,000 elite soldiers, all of whom were in charge of the Chinese army, but he let the newly recruited soldiers take the lead.

Wang Wei escorted the grain and grass baggage, assisted by Wang Xuanying and Wang Xuanshu, but the former army appointed his general Guo Shancai as a guerrilla general. On horseback, he instructed the soldiers to march at a speed of thirty miles, and not to be impatient, so as not to be rushed into the camp by bandits, and the gains outweighed the losses.

These are all his capital for plotting the world, and he cannot afford to lose.

But every time this kind of marching speed is said to be in the eastern capital, it will take some time to get to the eastern capital, but Wang Shichong is not in a hurry, he will be outside, and the military order will not be accepted! The emperor is far away, and the news that comes and goes back and forth must also be counted, and the eastern capital will always arrive one day. According to his plan, it is best for Xue Shixiong to lose both of Wagang, and then he arrives in time to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Yang Yichen's Five-Way Army was thoughtful and almost mobilized the elite soldiers currently available in the Great Sui, but although his art of war was good, he still did not consider the people's hearts, and he died in the hearts of the people.

Every time he thought of this, Wang Shichong immediately smiled proudly.

The army is not on the way, this time it crossed the Huaishui, and arrived at the area of Xiapi County, not far from the mountains ahead, that is, the line of Guishan and Junshan. When Wang Shichong saw the distant mountains, he thought of Xiao Buyi again, and frowned secretly. The heart of Xiao Buyi rises and falls, and every time he can go up to another level, it is really an outlier.

As he was groaning, the gamer in front of him rushed over, and said urgently: "My lord, report!" There is an army of bandits ahead! ”

Wang Shichong's heart trembled slightly, "Can you find out where the bandits are?" "He also attaches great importance to military intelligence when marching, and this time with his family name, he can't be careless.

"It's the banner of the Supreme King Lu Mingyue!" The game makes a reply.

Wang Shichong frowned, waved his hand, and said, "What about Guo Shancai, can you hand over the army?" ”

You Yienvoy shook his head and said, "Guo Jiangjun will obey the orders of the adults and do not move. ”

Wang Shi nodded meaningfully, "If you go to probe again, you will not be ordered by me to order Guo Shancai, and you must not take the initiative to attack, and those who violate the order will be severely punished." The gamekeeper answered, and hurried forward. Wang Shichong only pondered for a moment, and then ordered, "Set up camp!" ”

**

When Wang Shichong set up camp in Xiapi County to resist Lu Mingyue, Duan Da was preparing to send troops to recapture Xingluocang.

Duan Da sent troops, not as much as Wang Shichong considered, but King Yue personally sent him off. On the high platform, the king of Yue personally sacrificed heaven and earth, and under the high platform, the ministers all had their own thoughts.

Xiao Buyi is in the corner, with an indifferent smile on his face, of course, the set of worshipping heaven and earth is very old-fashioned, and Xiao Buyi will definitely not use it. If he had the time and the energy, he would rather spend more time to find out about the military. It cannot be denied that King Yue has done his best, after all, he is still a teenager.

He heard that the advice was far better than Yang Guang, but after getting along for a few days, Xiao Buyi found that under this noble appearance, he was actually full of panic. No matter what aspect it is, Yang Tong is still a child in Xiao Buyi's eyes. But because of Yang Guang's mistakes and pride, this child inexplicably took the big country on his shoulders.

King Yue's attitude was calm, but Xiao Buyi was sensitive to his physical and mental exhaustion.

King Yue is very respectful to Xiao Buyi because of Pei Mingcui, as long as he can use someone now, he can't wait to use it all at once, because he really doesn't have too many choices. He didn't want to offend Huangfu Wuyi, and he didn't want to offend Xiao Buyi, he looked forward to these two generals joining forces to sit in the Eastern Capital, and expected all the people to feel his sincerity, and then become loyal and patriotic, and even more looked forward to welcoming Yang Guang back as soon as possible after repelling Li Mi this time, and then he could unload the burden of thousands of catties on his shoulders.

Born in the emperor's house is sometimes enviable, but sometimes, there is also sadness in the bones.

But he is still too young, and although the relationship is not bad, many things are too wishful thinking. Thinking of this, Xiao Buyi shook his head, he knew that except for King Yue and Lu Chu, there were few people here who wanted Yang Guang to come back.

The idea of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, he Xiao Buyi has it, and of course Huangfu Wuyi also has it, and even Duan Da and Yuan Wen may have thought about this idea.

This is like facing a mountain of gold, and few people can resist this temptation.

But Xiao Buyi clearly understood that this had to wait for Yang Guang to die, and this had to wait for Li Mi to be defeated, and the timing of this was crucial. But he understood that Huangfu Wuyi obviously didn't understand it yet, he only felt that Xiao Buyi was threatening his power at the moment, but he didn't know that the Great Sui Dynasty could collapse at any time, so he instructed Duan Da to rob Xiao Buyi of the credit.

He didn't want Xiao Buyi to take on the prestige of defeating Wagang again, he only thought that defeating Wagang was just an easy matter.

Although Huangfu Wuyi and others know that there are a lot of bandits, they still look down on the bandits from the bottom of their bones, in their eyes, the Wagang bandits are nothing more than hungry thieves stealing rice, they have not sent troops, but they feel that the time has not come, and now that Xiao Buyi is here, they can't give this credit to Xiao Buyi.

There was jubilation in the eastern capital, jubilant, drums, and many noble children volunteered to join in this battle against bandits.

Many people were richly dressed, brightly armoured, and rode tall horses, not thinking that it was a battle of life and death, but that it was a hunt, or that it was just an outing.

The march supervisor of this campaign was Duan Da, the doctor of Guanglu, who was walking on the high platform at this moment, accepting the wine from the king of Yue, and he was full of pride and indispensable.

Xiao Buyi saw it from afar, only thinking about whether he could come back alive this time. Although he hadn't confronted Li Mi head-on, he knew that Li Mi was definitely not something that Duan Da and the like could contend with.

He said too much in front of King Yue about the importance of conquering Xingluocang, but he didn't say that Wagang was no longer what it used to be, he was waiting for others to grab merit, waiting for others to die, and the result was not unexpected.

Next to Duan Da is Hu Benlang General Liu Changgong, the general of this march, but next to Liu Changgong is the Cao Lang general, Xiao Buyi now knows that his name is Cao Muxian, and now Cao Muxian is squinting at Xiao Buyi, with indescribable provocation and pride in his expression!

Xiao Buyi smiled, and said in his heart, you are slowly proud, but I am afraid that I will not be proud for a few days, this kind of person is really not his opponent, his current opponent is Huangfu Wuyi, and the opponent in the middle is Li Mi, if it continues to develop, there are many opponents, and this Cao Lang will really not be ranked.

Amid the noise of gongs and drums, the army finally set off.

The flags were fluttering, the drums were ringing in unison, and the people of the eastern capital were also excited, but they didn't understand why it wasn't General Xiao who was crusading against Wagang? But as soon as General Xiao came, the Eastern Capital attacked Wagang in an instant, which can only show that General Xiao is very influential, and the people think so.

Xiao Buyi already knew the plan of Duan Da, Liu Changgong and others to send troops, they would go down the Luoshui, and then contact Pei Renji in the Tiger Prison, cross the Luoshui, and attack the bandits next to Xingluocang before and after, and even Xiao Buyi already knew about the attack.

This is not a secret, many people know that the drum music is noisy, presumably Li Mi will soon know, thinking of this, Xiao Buyi smiled, shook his head, and left slowly, silently.

didn't go far, two people came to the street in front of him, and one said: "Caiyu, I think this is an opportunity, but it's a pity that I don't have my share......"

Another person shook his head and said, "Chai Shao, it's okay not to participate in such things." Chai Shao, I think you have been in a state of mind lately, is there something you are hiding from me? ”

"What will I hide from you?"

Xiao Buyi stopped, and saw that Chai Shao and Li Caiyu were not far ahead, he was a little surprised, he didn't know why these two people got here, and why they didn't go back to Taiyuan, staying in the Eastern Capital didn't make any sense to these two people.

Of course, he didn't know that Li Caiyu also wanted to leave the Eastern Capital, but because of Li Yuanji and Chai Shao, he had to stay in the Eastern Capital.

When the two on the opposite side saw Xiao Buyi, they were also a little stunned. Chai Shao never dreamed that he would see Xiao Buyi again in the Eastern Capital, and sometimes, sooner or later, there will be a time when the enemies will meet. He bought Li Yuanji to let him lie to his sister, saying that Li Yuan had a life, and asked Li Caiyu to stay in the eastern capital to take care of his family, but since he lied, he has not slept soundly for a day, and he has not come out of the mansion for the past few days, and he doesn't know that Xiao Buyi has arrived in the eastern capital. Li Caiyu saw that his expression was wrong, so he found out to relax, but he didn't expect to run into Xiao Buyi.

Xiao Buyi smiled and looked at the two of them: "Young Master Chai, jade girl, don't come unharmed." ”

Chai Shao's face turned red, "What does it matter to you if I'm okay?" ”

Xiao Buyi secretly thought that this guy probably didn't sleep well last night, otherwise why would he have such a big temper? Li Caiyu quickly calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Xiao ...... General, farewell to Taiyuan, everything is fine? She actually vaguely heard that Xiao Buyi had arrived in the Eastern Capital, but she was skeptical, this time she saw him still in good spirits, compared with the gains and losses of Chai Shao around her, she didn't know how she felt in her heart.

It's not that she regrets her choice, she just thinks that Chai Shao lacks too much grace, which is embarrassing.

Chai Shao stretched out his hand to pull Li Caiyu, and said unhappily: "What do you have to say to this person, Caiyu, let's go." ”

Li Caiyu didn't pay attention, his steps staggered, and he frowned a little, but he still asked, "I don't know what General Xiao is doing when he comes to Dongdu?" ”

Xiao Buyi said with a smile: "There is a decree from the saint to let me come to the eastern capital to pacify Wagang." ”

Li Caiyu didn't understand the complicated relationship between them, and said with a forced smile: "General Xiao is talented, and he will definitely be able to succeed." ”

Her greetings were polite words, but Chai Shao was sour and full of taste. Xindao has been riding on his neck since he saw Xiao Buyi, and he is inferior to him everywhere, Li Caiyu said so, but he has regrets in his heart for choosing him?

Men have low self-esteem and women are narcissistic are similar, unreasonable, seeing that Li Caiyu still doesn't leave, Chai Shao said coldly: "Caiyu, if you are greeting, whatever you want, I want to leave." ”

He said that he would leave and turned around, and Li Caiyu had to apologize: "General Xiao, I still have something to do, let him talk about it again." ”

In any case, Xiao Buyi is already a force in the Sui Dynasty, and Li Caiyu doesn't want to offend him, whether it is because of Li Xuanba or for his father's sake.

Seeing Xiao Buyi nodding, Li Caiyu hurriedly followed Chai Shao away. Chai Shao walked forward like a cow, Li Caiyu tried his best to keep up, and when he saw that he was just walking quickly, without a purpose, he couldn't help but stomp his feet and said: "Chai Shao, you stop for me!" ”

Chai Shao finally stopped, but he hit the top of the tree with a punch, and said in a muffled voice: "What do you care about me?" Why don't you go to your General Xiao? ”

Li Caiyu was stunned, he didn't expect Chai Shao to come up with this sentence. Embarrassed in his heart, Li Caiyu said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about, what is my General Xiao?" ”

Chai Shao turned around and sneered: "If it weren't for your General Xiao, why didn't you come out late today, didn't you come out early, and bumped into him as soon as you went out?" If it weren't for your General Xiao, how could you see him, and you wouldn't be able to move? If it weren't for your General Xiao, why did I ask you to leave, but you cut my face, it must be ......"

Li Caiyu's eyebrows were raised, and he was about to slap him, but suddenly saw the tears in the corners of Chai Shao's eyes, his heart softened, and he turned around and said: "Chai Shao, do you remember what you said today!" ”

She turned around and left, walking quickly, Chai Shao was just stunned for a moment, regretted it in his heart, and rushed over, grabbing Li Caiyu's sleeve.

"Let it go!" Li Caiyu gritted his teeth and said.

Chai Shao saw that Li Caiyu's face was as cold as ice, and fear suddenly rose in his heart, and he hurriedly said: "Caiyu, I said the wrong thing just now, please forgive me." ”

"How am I qualified to forgive you?" Li Caiyu sneered: "I'll go to my General Xiao." ”

Chai Shao was even more panicked, grabbed Li Caiyu's sleeve and pleaded: "Caiyu, I was really wrong, as soon as I saw Xiao Buyi, I didn't know how, I was angry." ”

"He has never offended you," Li Caiyu frowned and said: "In today's troubled times, many friends have many roads, many enemies and many walls, many of my relatives are in the Eastern Capital, and he is now a general in the Eastern Capital, and it is not wise for us to make enemies with him." ”

Chai Shao said nervously: "Caiyu, I know it's wrong, please forgive me!" I really care about you, I'm afraid...... I'm afraid you'll leave me! I...... I'm really not as good as Xiao Buyi, I'm just afraid of ......"

Seeing Chai Shao's pleading, Li Caiyu finally relented, held Chai Shao's hand and said: "Chai Shao, I have told you many times, feelings such a thing must not be measured by inferiority!" A man can be temporarily inferior to others, but if he has low self-esteem to the point of collapse, it really makes the beloved woman sad and helpless. Xiao Buyi is an outlier in the Great Sui, it is normal that you are not as good as him, how many men in this world can be stronger than him? But the current is not as good, it doesn't mean that you can't beat him in the future, but even if you can't beat him in your life, so what? What I like is you as a person, not how strong you are and how powerful you are! ”

Chai Shao asked nervously, "But if I am not as good as Xiao Buyi for the rest of my life, will you leave me because of this?" ”

Li Caiyu sighed, "What do you say?" There was blame in her tone, Chai Shao's head was covered with a rain cloth, and she couldn't understand Li Caiyu's drizzly awakening for a while, and hurriedly said: "Caiyu, let's leave the Eastern Capital, right?" ”

Li Caiyu frowned and said, "My father asked me to take care of the family in Dongdu, how can I leave easily?" ”

Chai Shao wanted to speak and stopped, Li Caiyu said helplessly: "Chai Shao, you still can't let go of the knot, why don't you and I calm down?" I'll come back to you in three days. ”

After she said this, she gently broke free of Chai Shao's hand and turned to leave, but Chai Shao didn't catch up this time, squatted down in pain, inserted his hands into his bun, and tore hard!

**

Duan Da led the army out of Luoyang, went down the Luoshui River, and after the march reached Yanshi, he rested for a while, and decided to march overnight!

All the soldiers and generals were originally elated, but the night march was an extremely hard thing, but the commander of the march had an order, so he had to grit his teeth and follow.

Duan Daren was on the horse, Liu Changgong, the left-handed Tiger Benlang General, and Cao Lang General of the Prison Gate Mansion on the right hand, were majestic, but he was thinking about what Huangfu Wuyi said, the soldiers are fast, this battle must be fought beautifully, give Xiao Buyi a dismount first, and let Xiao Buyi understand who is the savior of the Eastern Capital! According to this marching speed, you can cross Luoshui before dawn, gather at Shizihe, and at that time go straight to Luokoucang, and succeed in a battle, defeating Wagang, which is a great achievement.

Sensing the slowness of the army's march, Duan Da immediately became a little annoyed, and called the marching commander and asked, "Why is it so slow?" How did you get to the Shizi River before dawn? ”

The marching commander asked a little puzzled: "Back to the commander, we agreed to meet with General Pei of the Tiger Prison in the early morning in Luokou Cangnan and jointly attack the Wagang army. ”

Duan Da said arrogantly: "What do you know, the soldiers are fast, how can you say it quickly?" The Wagang army is vulnerable, why do you need to join forces with Pei Renji, I will wait until tomorrow morning to Shizihe to defeat the Wagang army, so that the thieves will be frightened, wouldn't it be better to turn back to the eastern capital as soon as possible? In any case, double the speed of the march, be sure to cross the Luoshui before dawn, reach the Shizi River, and if you can't reach it, you will be beheaded! ”

The marching commander had a bitter face and pleaded: "Commander, our army of nearly 30,000 has a lot of heavy grain and grass, and the soldiers are overwhelmed, and it will definitely not be able to catch up with the Shizi River before the morning." The manager wants to be killed, and his subordinates are helpless. ”

Duan Da said angrily: "You think I don't dare to kill you? ”

Liu Changgong said on the side: "Chief, what he said is also reasonable, now that the heavy grain and grass are slowing down the speed of the march, if Manager Duan really wants to reach Shizihe before dawn, there is a way to humble his position." ”

"Say." Duan Da was in good spirits.

Liu Changgong said: "If you leave more than 1,000 soldiers to be responsible for carrying heavy grain and grass, let the rest of the soldiers only carry enough rations for two days to rush away, and they should be able to arrive in the early morning." ”

General Cao Lang finally said: "Why do we need two rations, if we arrive at Shizihe in the early morning tomorrow, we will be defeated if we want to fight Wagang, we only need to bring one ration." Besides, after occupying Luokoucang, are you still worried that there is no grain and grass? ”

Duan Da laughed, "What General Cao Lang said is that we are guarding a big granary, and we are afraid that there will be no food to eat?" Changgong, what you think about is still inappropriate. ”

Liu Changgong frowned slightly, and wanted to say something, but it could be seen that Duan Da was in high spirits and didn't dare to spoil the fun, but Duan Da had already shouted loudly: "Pass the order, the whole army will only bring one day's rations, and be sure to rush to Shizihe before dawn!" ”

**

When the sky was dawning, Pei Mingcui had already come to Xiao Buyi's mansion. Xiao Buyi still lives in the original place, and the entire mansion is slightly deserted. Pei Mingcui knocked on the door, and there was a rumor from the subordinates, and when Xiao Buyi came out to greet him, he was full of energy.

He seemed to be in good spirits at all times, but Pei Mingcui's expression was slightly haggard.

"I don't know what Miss Pei is doing when she comes early in the morning?" Xiao Buyi asked puzzled.

Pei Mingcui smiled and said, "I can't sleep, isn't it cruel to come and disturb Brother Xiao's dream?" ”

"Miss Pei is always welcome to come and find her." Xiao Buyi instructed his subordinates to prepare tea for guests.

Pei Mingcui waved her hand to stop, "Brother Xiao, in fact, I just came from King Yue, I talked to him for a long time last night, but now I came to ask Brother Xiao to come over." ”

Xiao Buyi saw her paleness, frowned, and said, "Miss Pei, you are working so hard, it is very inappropriate for your body. ”

Pei Mingcui shook her head and said softly, "I'm used to it." ”

The two of them walked out of the mansion, their steps were gentle, stepping on the quiet of the morning light, Pei Mingcui raised her eyes and looked into the distance, and suddenly said: "Brother Xiao's plan is good, but it is too early." In fact...... If you talk to me and King Yue, we will act quietly, and now I am afraid that we have taken Luokoucang. ”

"Miss Pei said this, do you think that Duan Da and they can't take Luokoucang?" Xiao Buyi smiled.

Pei Mingcui didn't turn her head and sighed softly, "What does Brother Xiao think?" ”

"I want them to bring elite divisions, but Wagang may not be able to stop them." Xiao Buyi still smiled.

Pei Mingcui coughed, "The arrogant soldiers will be defeated, Duan Da has already committed a taboo in order to grab credit and despise Wagang." What's more, Wagang has long been different from what it used to be, the soldiers are strong and strong, as the saying goes, know yourself and know your opponent, you will not be defeated in a hundred battles, most of the eastern capital has Wagang's annihilation, Duan Da sent troops with great fanfare, it seems that he is only afraid that others will not know. Now Wagang knows everything about them, but they don't know anything about Wagang, this time to send troops, like a blind man riding a blind horse to fight with others, not to mention victory or defeat, I think even if it is not easy to come back alive! ”

"Since Miss Pei knows this, why don't you persuade them to withdraw their troops?" Xiao Buyi asked indifferently.

Pei Mingcui's face was full of loneliness, "I can't persuade it, how can they listen to my persuasion?" Brother Xiao deliberately proposed this plan to attack Luokoucang, presumably they would definitely take the merit as long as possible, and they were doomed to defeat, and Duan Da, Liu Changgong and others might not come back alive at that time, and most of the nearly 30,000 troops would also collapse in an instant. Most of the people who sent troops this time were cronies of Huangfu Wuyi, so they were only afraid of heavy losses. From this point of view, Huangfu Wuyi sent someone to kill Brother Xiao alone is just a small trick, and he is smiling and generous. Brother Xiao was able to kill 30,000 troops without moving, and dealt a heavy blow to Huangfu Wuyi, this trick to kill people with a knife shows that he is clever! ”

Xiao Buyi sighed lightly, "Fortunately, you are not Huangfu Wuyi." ”

"What if I am the emperor?" Pei Mingcui asked suddenly.

Xiao Buyi said: "If you are the emperor, I will not go to the Eastern Capital!" ”

Pei Mingcui nodded lightly, "What Brother Xiao said is very true, many things are doomed and cannot be changed. Duan Da was defeated, and Huangfu Wuyi was eager to save face, so he had to find a scapegoat. But Brother Xiao's status in the eyes of King Yue must have risen sharply, as long as he sends troops to win a battle in Wagang, his prestige will surpass Huangfu Wuyi in an instant, and Huangfu Wuyi seems to be far from your opponent. ”

Xiao Buyi smiled, "I have never regarded him as an opponent. ”

"Brother Xiao, do you know that you have changed a lot?" Pei Mingcui said suddenly.

Xiao Buyi touched his face with his hand, "Has it changed the vicissitudes of life, or has it become handsome?" ”

Pei Mingcui looked at the pale green dawn in the distance, and said softly: "No, it's a lot more ruthless." ”
